The decline was greatest among African-American and Latino students. Abput half of CSU's 22,000-student decline was a ttributed t o d elibera^ downsizing. The balance, CSU officials said, was largely the result of a 10 percent fee mm increase, the inability of some campuses to offer classes, the continuing recession, and negative publicity about both costs and class availability.

Friday, January 28,1994 Bookstore Blahs Amy Glaspey Staff Writer "Books cost too much," drones the founder of Crown Books, promoting his discounted bestsellers. It is not until we write checks for $300twice a year that his words hit home. At the end of each semester, students get back a portion of their textbook investment during book buy back days. This fall, the University bookstore advertised "up to 50% cash back for your used books." Experienced textbook consumers know it is often smarter to keep their texts than take their chances during book buy back. Some students are shocked to find that their $50 textbook is worthless after four months of infrequent use. This is how book buy back works.

Receive afree "Students get irate when they see a textbook on the shelves after their text had been rejected during book buy back," Zoren said, "And I don't blame them." "The bookstore is being unprofessional by blaming the teachers," said one CSUSM senior. "The store is not as responsive to students needs as they could be." He cites the problem with the University Store is insufficient textbook inventory. Failure to have an adequate number of books on hand at the beginning of each semester "compromises the university." "My first semester at CSUSM, I had to wait over one month for a sociol- ogy text. My teacher came from CSU Long Beach and got his order in late," remarks one student. One cause of late requisition forms, according to a University Store staff person, is the existence of part-time faculty. Parttime professors who get hired two weeks before the semester begins simply do not have a chance to get in their orders on time The CSUSM senior refuses to accept the University Store's explanations. "If there is something wrong with the system, they should change the system. If the orders come in late, the book store should place a rush order with the publisher." Former Saint Joseph resident graduates from CSUSM It is never too late to pursue your dreams. This past December, Hazel Scott "Scotti" Aretakis, 54, fulfills her lifetime dream of getting a college degree. She graduates from California State University San Marcos with a bachelor's degree in sociology. Aretakis attributes this accomplishment to her mother. "My mother taught me and my brother, Bill Scott, to have a sense of our own self-worth and to ersevere even in the face of adversity. It is these and the other values that she instilled in me as a child that gave me the strength to pursue a college education," said Aretakis.

All of those students who plan to return here next semester and were born in 1957 or later, will need to provide proof of a Measles and Rubella immunization prior to registering next semester. Those who do not comply will receive an I-Hold notice, which states that they will not be allowed to register until they submit the required form. The staff of Student Health Services is available Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM to help students meet this re- quirement. Students who have immunization records should bring them to the Student Health Services Clinic to receive a clearance. The staff can assist students who need to send away f or their medical records. Students who need to receive the vaccine can do so at no charge at any time during the semester. It is highly advisable to do this early in the semester to avoid long lines later. To make an appointment f or an immunization, call 752-4915, or stop by t he clinic. The Student Health Services Center is located on the first floor of Craven Hall. It is the first door on the right as you are facing the building. Photo/Carlos Mariscal Susan Mendes, LVN, Health Education Assistant, assists in Nutritional Counseling SERVICES Nutritional counseling now available at SHS Student Health Services now has appointments available for private, individual nutrition counseling with students. At the session, students are asked to bring in a three-day food diary that records everything they have eaten during that time. This information is then entered into the computer. Using a new, specialized health program called Nutritionist IE, the nurse is able to give the student a complete six-page dietary analysis. This indicates the total nutrients and calories consumed, percentage of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, as well as recommendations for excesses and deficiencies. The nurse then reviews the report with the student and makes recommendations for healthy dietary changes. Computerized body fat testing is also available by appointment. For this test, a small, sticky electrode is attached to the patient's wrist and ankle. The analyzer measures the body's resistance and reactance The results of this test are then entered into a computer program which gives a body profile analysis, which includes such information as percentage of body fat and percentage of lean muscle tissue, as well as BMR, or basal metabolic rate. This is very important, as it indicates the exact number of calories that person burns every day. Activity level and specific exercises can be factored in to indicate the number of calories burned with increased activity. This information can be especially helpful for students who want to lose or gain weight, reduce body fat, or build up muscle. To make an appointment for either of these services, call Susan Mendes at Student Health Services, 752-4915.

Davis, Ph.D. Contributing Writer This is addressed to students who face a new semester of new courses, new teachers and new texts. How will you cope with so many unknowns? You have a choice—fear and trembling or confidence and assurance. Now is the time to decide. As you give personal thought and time to the way you plan to approach what's ahead, consider the statement made by the famous psychologist, Carl Menninger: Attitudes are more important than facts. How does this bear on the problem of facing unknowns? In the first place, all these unknowns are facts. You just aren't aware of them. You can't control them. But you do have a choice; the way in which you perceive the facts. This is where your attitude comes in. In the second place, your attitude is a choice you can make. You decide the mental position by which you want to perceive the undeniable facts. In an attempt to reach your goals, remember, your attitude is a key. It can be a roadblock or a doorway to success. If you have the slightest tinge of apprehension, let me tell you how I put it to my students in statistics. We repeated the familiar refrain from a children's story, ' The Little Train That Could"— I think I can, I think I can, I think I have a plan And I can do most anything if I only think I can Simply stated, you can succeed if you give yourself a chance. With a positive attitude, you can achieve your goals this spring semester.

Beginning with a morning kick-off on campus, students from CSUSM clubs and organizations will participate in activities they have planned involving services for those in our surrounding community. Student leaders are actively involved in planning community services and they welcome participation from students, faculty,, and staff. Yvonne McCarty is coordi- nating various clubs in youth-oriented service with workshops on campus for invited members of the Boys and Girls Clubs as well as selected San Marcos elementary, junior and senior high school students. Ann Garman, along with members of Circle K, will host high school Key Club students on campus. These youth-oriented activities serve to improve self-esteem, encourage continuing education, promote a desire to learn, and familiarize students with our campus. Rolando Nooris and computer club members will provide hands-on computer learning experiences. Bertha Walker and members of the Pan-African Student Alliance are participating and also providing logistical support for Volunteer Day. Tanis Brown of CSUSM Alumni Club continues to contribute her leadership for this event, especially the rally. Katherine Johnson-LaVesque has designed the logo (seen above, from a photograph by Alexa Welch). Environmentally oriented services will be the focus at nearby Discovery Lake Park. When the roads are completed, it will be a pleasant hike from our campus. Cleaning up the park and creating a nature display board are the focus of services of the Earth Club. Many hands make light work (bring gloves) therefore Michelle Sedova, President of Earth Club, and Richard Molloy, President of Associated Students, welcome volunteers. "Jennifer Elbert and the 3-D club members will be there too, culminating a week of activities shared with a local girl scout troop. Other volunteer services vary. Scott Sherrillo and the Accounting Society, in conjunction with the IRS, will be available on Volunteer Day and throughout the tax season to assist local income and elderly in* tax preparation. Any students and Spanish speakers may also request assistance through this Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. The Argonaut Society has a special service project for the San Marcos Historical Society and Mueum. T&s Association for Busi- ness Students and other clubs are also planning activities for volunteer day. In the spirit of partnership, Mayor Thibadeau and the City Council of San Marcos have issued a Proclamation recognizing February 26, 1994 as Volunteer Day. Volunteer Day can fulfill several university goals: outreach and cooperation with our broader community; promotion of civic pride and responsibility; as well as initiation of contacts for service-learning opportunities. A number of our faculty are encouraging service-learning in their classes to link real-life experience through service with the theory and concepts taught in their courses. During Club Days in the Plaza on January 31, February 2, and 3, interested students, faculty and staff may sign up to join in Volunteer Day activities. Sign ups continue at the Associated Students Office Ext. 4990, the Student Activities Office, Ext. 4970, or the ServiceLearning Office, Ext. 4057.

Consider, for a moment, the constant cloud that has surrounded the administration beginning with the policy regarding homosexuals in the military and encompassing the firings of the entire White House travel staff, flip-flopping on Bosnia, the failure of the ambitious stimulus package, the thwarted nominations of Zoe Baird, Kimba Wood, Stephen Breyer and Lani Guinier, the hour-long haircut that held up air traffic at LAX, allegations made by members of the Arkansas National Guard about gubernatorial infidelities, the suicide of White House lawyer and long-time Clinton pal Vince Foster, the forced resignation of Defense Secretary Les Aspin, the Waco fiasco, allegations of financial impropriety involving Whitewater Investments, and, most recently (at press time, anyway), the decision by former Defense Secretary nominee Bob Inman to withdraw his name from consideration despite the guarantee of overwhelming..confirmation in the Senate. How has this cursed administration managed to achieve anything substantial in the midst of such chaos? Well, if you believe the headlines, they haven't. This year has seen the passage of Clinton-sponsored legislation such as the most comprehensive and radical fiscal package since the early Reagan years, the Family Leave Act, the Motor Voter Bill, as well as the introduction of a massive, ambitious overhaul of the health care system, congressional approval of the North American Free Trade Agreement and a successful resolution to GATT negotiations with Eu- style political gossip. This is not to say that there is some kind of national media conspiracy to discredit the leader of the free world or even that Clinton is somehow the first president to be slighted in such a manner. The current media culture has evolved gradually through time, and certainly significant events in the Reagan and Bush administrations were often ignored in ways this was a good thing; more citizens (especially young ones) were exposed to American politics than in the past, and more of them became involved in the process. But by breaking new ground, Clinton managed to alienate the more respectable media establishment. The New York Times and CNN are now forced to compete with MTV News and Hard Copy, and in the process the distinction between these different forums has blurred considerably. Most of the press no longer has faith that the American people will be interested in tales of legislative battles or trade negotiations. So instead we get lurid tales of Governor Clinton rushing out for a quickie in his limousine while the National Guard looks out for Hillary. There are many substantial areas in which the current administration deserves intellifavor of more sexy stories about Nancy's gent criticism, including the lack of a cohewardrobe or George's distaste for broccoli. sive foreign policy and the President's willBut the climate has intensified significantly ingness to sacrifice important issues for the in the past few years, and the blame (or credit, sake of political expediency.

Yet the only stories garnering significant news space have been the scandals. Even Clinton's recent trip to Eastern Europe and Russia in which he met with Boris Yeltsin and announced a new plan to gradually include Eastern European nations in NATO was overshadowed by the buzz of allegations and innuendoes about Whitewater.

Park o n ^ i f i l i i l l There were no injuries or fatalities on the campus, but the building damage is extensive. The library and science buildings suffered significant damage. The South Library which houses the campus computing center has been condemned and Science Buildings 1 and 2 experienced chemical fires. The 2,447parking structure is destroyed. Most of the University Park Apartments are stable but will require repairs before students can move back in. Because so many buildings are not safe, the campus will rent nearly 300portable trailers to use for classroom and faculty o ffice sp&ce. Gov. Wilson also said that they will rent nearby offices and use other colleges and schools for classes. The Latino Association of Faculty and Staff and the Associated Students of CSU San Marcos have joined hands in providing disaster relief to our neighbors, friends and relatives in the Los Angeles area. According to CSUSM's Chief of Police, Arnold P. Trujillo, a grand total of $ 1,227 was collected. The money will be donated to the American Red Cross with the request that "this money be used to assist the earthquake victims in the Los Angeles area," says Trujillo. Chief Trujillo and Public Safety Officers Bob Wheeler and Dave Ross were at the scene the Monday morning of the earthquake offering assistance to local law enforcement at the Northridge campus site. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the people in the Los Angeles area.

There have been three surveys prior to SNAPS-94; the last was conducted in 1989. All CSU campuses participated in SNAPS-89 with the exception of San Diego State. All 20 campuses will be participating in SNAPS-94. In administering the survey, each campus will follow a uniform procedure which consists of surveying a sample of students in randomly selected courses during the middle of the Spring. At CSUSM we will start the survey process in late February or early March. We will survey about 750 students in order to submit at least 500 completed surveys. Surveys are submitted to the Chancellor's Office and the responses are used to develop a systemwide report which helps the CSU present an accurate picture of its student body in a public and systematic way. In 1989 800 copies of the SNAPS report were distrib- San Marcos/tpaComar Writing Center Opens uted nationally to public and private entities. Some of the information in the Executive Summary of the 1989 SNAPS report indicates that over two-thirds of CSU students were also employed and a majority of respondents were classified as "commuter students." Among the problems impeding students' efforts to achieve their educational goals, personal factors were cited more frequently than institutional factors; financial problems were ranked most often by 44 percent of the respondents. Among 18 potential campus reforms, the option to "offer summer courses at regular fees" was chosen by 40 percent of the sample; the second most popular reform was to "improve the parking situation." Each campus will receive a dataset of the responses submitted by its students so that analysis can take place campus by campus. Responses are, of course, confidential and data will be reported only in aggregate form. The CSUSM data should help all of us better understand the needs and opinions of our students. Institute The Writing Center staff wants to welcome all returning and new students to a friendly place that helps to advance written academic assignments—the Writing Center. The doors opened Feb. 9 at 9 AM. The tutor corps of the Writing Center offers a skilled group of students whose foundation in writing theory and practices come from English494 (Theory and Practice of College Writing). The tutors aim to foster academic quality writing from the painless perspective of a good friend who is interested in advaDcirig meaningful written analysis and creative expression. Students at any phase of an assignment—brain-storming, editing, revision or final draft inspection—are all part of the tutorial staff s field of experience.

A press conference was held on Dec. 7 at SDSU by Gina Nunez, V.P. of External A ffairs at SDSU and myself, Michelle Sadova. The focus was to encourage Wilson to place higher education within a category of immediate attention rather than focusing on the construction of prisons as a way to remedy crime. He responded, "As Governor, I 've opened five new prisons. Tonight, I propose that we offer $2 billion worth of bonds to build six more. There will be those who protest such costs. They'll complain that they would prefer to spend the money on higher education rather than more prisons. Well, so would I. But this is not a matter of choice." Sounds pretty good, right?

Bear as Acting Vice President for Institutional Advancement. The adoption of CSU Trustee policy asks each CSU campus to raise—over time— in excess of 10 percent above and beyond its state funds appropriation. Mr. Bear, who recently retired as a Senior Vice President from Hughes Aircraft and as Chair of San Diego's United Way, will join us for the remainder of the fiscal year in the manner of United Way's "loaned executive." That is, he will donate his time to the university at no salary or benefits. Bear was asked to accept the title of a position recommended by the Chancellor and adopted by the Trustees in their action last week. He will be asked to assist the university in its push during the remainder of the year to meet its 1994 fundraising goals and to assist in developing a strategic plan that addresses the campus responsibility to raise nearly $2.5 million for 1994-95 and Bear will coordinate the University's efforts in fundraising, public affairs, and alumni relations. Assisting Bear will be Jane Lynch in Development, Norma Yuskos in Public Affairs and, to a small extent, Tanis Brown in developing Alumni Affairs. Hugh La Bounty, another distinguished volunteer to the campus, will continue to provide senior leadership to the emerging University Foundation in its responsibilities to develop and manage earned income auxilliaries.

Computer Competency Requirement—source of student concern K arin Foster Staff Writer CSUSM has a requirement that like the writing requirement, is unique from other state universities—the Computer Competency Requirement (CCR). CSUSM requires that every student fulfill this requirement before the end of their second semester at CSUSM. Originally, this requirement coordinated with CSUSM's writing requirement. Faculty wanted to be assured that students knew how to use a word processor and could apply this skill in producing the 2,500 word writing assignment required in every class. The second semester deadline meant that students would be computer literate early in their studies at CSUSM. Mary Atkins, Labs and Computer Competency Coordinator, explained that students can fulfill the CCR in a variety of ways. Students can take an approved course at a community college, take a computer exam, or take a computer course at CSUSM that fulfills the requirement. Before taking a computer course at a community college, students should check with Admissions and Records for a list of all applicable classes. Those students wishing to fulfill the CCR through an exam can also take a workshop to help them prepare for the exam. Many students opt to take a computer class here at CSUSM. This semester the Computer Science Department offered 14 classes that met the CCR requirement. Of these, nine sections of CS 304 were offered. This class examines computer issues and provides basic computer skills. However, not all students have been completely satisfied with these computer classes. Students who have taken CS 304 do not feel the class has made them computer literate. The semester divides basic computer knowledge with word processing, spreadsheets, database and computer programming. The amount of material covered in one semester does not al- low the student to gain ample skills in any specific area. Atkins explained that CS 304 does not aim to make students computer literate. "Hopefully, students will take what they learn and run with it." CS 304 acts as an introductory course which offers students basic computer instruction. Students who had little computer experience will still need to develop their computer skill after completing this course. Other students have voiced concerns about classes having more students than available computers. Similar to learning to drive, learning to use a computer requires hands-on experience. Students enrolled in computer classes feel their computer time in class is restricted. Atkins explained that this situation is typical at universities stating that "the concept of one computer for every person is unusual." Students taking computer classes should expect to spend time in the computer lab or with their home computer in order to strengthen their skills. Those students who have not fulfilled the CCR should be aware that this requirement must be completed by the end of their second semester. For those students who make a strenuous effort to completely avoid computers, Atkins advises, "Don't procrastinate. People should not feel intimidated by the Computer CompetencyRequirement. This school makes a conscious effort to help people pass; however, this does not mean waiving the requirement." The original goal of computer literacy for all students by their second semester at CSUSM may have been a little optimistic. However, most students will have at least developed alittle computer knowledge. They should know how to turn one on.

LOVE CAREFULLY DURING VALENTINE'S WEEK S usan M endes, LYN Health Education Assistant The week of February 14 -18 is designated by the American College Health Association as National Condom Week. This seems especially appropriate for a holiday celebrating love and romance. In conjunctipn with this theme, the Student Health Services Health Education Department and Student Health Advisory Board are hosting a number of events on campus. On Monday, Feb. 14, S.H.A.B. Members will be giving out safer sex information and free condoms at a table in Founders' Plaza. Also there will be film viewing in Commons206from 11 A M-1 PM. Students may drop in during these hours to view short film segments or they may stay for the entire presentation. On Tuesday, Feb. 15, five North County AIDS Organizations will have information tables in Founders' Plaza from 10 AM - 2 PM and will be available to answer questions about their free services. In the event of rain, they will be in Commons 206 from 1 PM — 3 PM. In addition, Martha Baron will be displaying J ohnny's Quilt and showing a touching video interview about a family that died of AIDS. On Wednesday, Feb. 16, from 11 AM t pl PM in Founders' Plaza, Earl Storm will present information on the " Don't Duck Responsibility" campaign from the non-profit Stepping Stone Project. The program has HIV information and graphics, including a cartoon depicting Buckminster Duck, who is the program mascot. The object of the pro- gram is to educate the community on the direct risk between alcohol use and HIV transmission and progression. The group presents a caring and rational approach to responsible behavior. Also on Wednesday, there will be an HIV Awareness lecture in Commons 206 from 2 PM—3PM. Based on the Red Cross format, the lecture will be followed by a question and answer session. EVENTS SCHEDULE J oel G rinolds, M D, M PH Unless you have been stuck on a tropical island over the past few months, you probably have heard or read many reports on Health Care Reform. Numerous approaches to reform are being discussed, offering everything from incremental reform and single payer systems (like the Canadian model) to the complex and far-reaching Clinton plan. Clinton's plan and others are now being discussed in Congress and some movement is expected in this term. Conceptually, there seems to be agreement on several aspects that should be important to students including universal coverage, standard benefits, quality standards, insurance reform, antitrust and liability reform, eligibility for all applicants,federal subsidies for poor/low income participants, administrative simplification, improved purchasing power of consumers, maintaining a variety of providers (Health Maintenance Organizations, fee for service, hybrids) encouragement of primary, preventive, and managed care. The various plans d iffer on the following elements: mandatory employer-paid premiums, mandatory participation in regional alliances (without getting into detail, the alliances would pool consumers into a large purchasing group then bargain with local health plans for low-cost quality care), cost controls, plan costs. Although health care reform will have a major impact on students, the reformers initially did not include the 13-14 million post secondary education population or their existing health care system (i.e., Student Health Centers) in their deliberations or specifically in their plans. What does reform mean for college health? In short, nobody really knows. This probably could be said for the general population. The good news is that potentially all students will have access to medical care. Also, the emphasis in reform is the provision of comprehensive primary and preventive medical care which is the major objective of college health. The American College Health Association and others have identified key players in health care reform on Capital Hill and has developed an informativepacket and a letter that identifies key concerns. The packet also describes the unique health care needs of the college health population and the Student Health Service model that currently provides accessible, affordable, prevention-oriented primary care as well as health education to the broader campus community. Stay tuned. Generally it is thought that a plan will not be implemented quickly. However, it surely will have an impact. In future columns I will discuss the plan or plans and their impact as they unfold. For further information, Dr. Grinolds can be reached at Student Health Services, 752-4915. M onday.

L angham Service-Learning Coordinator Katherine Johnson-LeVesque loves to inform others about volunteer opportunities. She enjoys being part of a solution, developing skills, and learning about new things. She has designed the logo for CSUSM's Volunteer Day, Saturday, February 26, 1994. Katherine, a senior, majors in psychology with a minor in women's studies. Volunteering is central in her life. She explains that, "Volunteering has a ripple effect. What I have found is that the people I help, eventually help someone else." "Giving has always felt good to me and I like connecting to the spirit of another" Learning how things work motivates Katherine. For example, she volunteered to work at the UC San Diego HIV Neuro-Behavioral Research Center. As a volunteer providing clerical support and data input in the psychiatry department, she observed the process of research design, data collection and publication, as well as how psychological testing was conducted. Becoming a part of the solution instead of just talking about a problem encapsulates Katherine's philosophy. For the past five years, she has been lecturing in the community and at local community colleges informing people about the effects of domestic violence, child abuse, and sexual abuse on individuals and society. Her goal is to bring about social change through raising public con- sciousness and encouraging people to get into treatment so that the devastating effects of trauma in the family can be alleviated. Katherine currently volunteers with several groups. In addition to her educational presentations described above, she also provides support, guidance, and referrals for survivors of abuse. At Being Alive, an HTV/ AIDS women and children's resource center, she volunteers as a receptionist and assists clients and their families tq deal with their emotional adjustment, Wfiether "infected" or " affected" by this disease. This year, Katherine is the Program Coordinator for the PTA at Hickman Elementary School. Ethnic Diversity, Women's History, AIDS Education, and Dad's Involvement in Children's Education are among the programs she has created. These topics were inspired by courses she has taken at CSUSM. Most recently, Katherine developed a 4 hour program for her daughter's 6th grade GATE (gifted) program on the physiology of the brain. Using a sheep's brain, she taught students its anatomy and functions. She explained that since no one's brain works perfectly , we are all slightly different, unique, and that each of us has something special to offer. With the strong belief that you can make lemonade out of lemons, Katherine has volunteered in the past with assistance to the homeless and to immigrants, in designing and sewing clothes for the disabled, in teaching puppeteering, crafts, and cooking through her church youth and women's groups, visiting the elderly, and tutoring in the elementary school classrooms. "Anyone can overcome loneliness and add interest to their lives," Katherine stresses. Photo/Mary Szterpakiewicz "Giving has always felt good to me and I like connecting to the spirit of another. I have a lot to be thankful for, and like to use my talent and capabilities to assist others." In this spirit, Katherine is an active participant of the Outreach Sub-Committee of the Service-Learning Committee planning for Volunteer Day on campus on Saturday, February 26,1994. For the future, Katherine plans to continue her volunteer activities and to develop a scholarship especially f or disadvantaged youth who come from a background of abandonment, neglect, or abuse. Her motivation is to help these youth create new and better lives for themselves. While Katherine was volunteering at an outpatient center for severely depressed and schizophrenic patients, one of the men remarked after listening to Katherine tell about her activities, that she must be extremely organized to "do it all!" That marked the first time that Katherine reflected on the effectiveness of her time management and prioritizing in everything she does. And, yes, she still spends quality time with her family and enjoys her life. Enjoying volunteering makes life more meaningful and more fun! OLUNTEER DAY Saturday, February 26 �Circle K lends time at Vista Soup Kitchen C laire K . L angham Service-Learning Coordinator Volunteer Day is not until the end of this month, but members of Circle K have been volunteering their services to help others weekly. Ann Garman, President of Circle K, not only directs club activities, but personally becomes involved in community service. Among the 30 m embers, C atherine Yeats spearheaded getting C SUSM's c lub to volunteer at the Soup Kitchen on Thursday evenings in Vista's Grace Presbyterian Church. At Circle K 's weekly meetings on campus, students sign up to help serve meals at this local soup kitchen. Wendy Dresher has been helping 2 or 3 times a month for several months. She observed, ' The first time people go there, they anticipate that everyone is homeless - but that is not the case. For some, their social security or other limited income runs out before the end of the month and they haven't enough for food." Scott Morey went to assist at the soup kitchen for the first time last week and will be going to help again. "It is very rewarding to go there and help people who are needy because they are so appreciative," Wendy added. Kevin Kilpatrick emphasized the same comment. Kevin said that he can really relate to the homeless. "They are just like the rest of us - they have hopes and dreams, and have experienced disappointments too." Wendy went on to explain, "By the end of the month, there are about 70 people of all ages, from newborns to elderly, at the soup kitchen. Most people though, are between thirty and forty years old.'4 Kevin talks with the homeless. "The homeless are people too. We have intelligent conversations with them." The people who come to the soup kitchen ask the Circle K student volunteers about their university experience-— what they are studying and their career goals. Kevin described avoidance as people's typical behavior toward the homeless. In contrast, he asks them if they are staying warm at night, especially with the cold winter nights. "When it rains, its very wet unless they can find an overhang." Kevin acknowledges that there are a f ew homeless we should b e wary of, but this is also the case with people in general. The interesting thing that Kevin notes is that there is a real camaraderie among the homeless —they look out for one another. He added, "These people are really appreciative of the assistance provided. They piteh in and help with the cleanup afterwards. It shows that they are not j ust taking advantage of society's generosity." If you are interested in knowing more about Circle K, please contact the Student Activities Office. Sigma Phi Delta Raises Money for L.A. Quake Victims A myGlaspey Staff Writer Richard Harvey, Sigma Phi Delta's Public Relations Officer The ground was still shaking w ith a ftershocks w hen R ichard Harvey, Sigma Phi D elta's Public Relations Officer started organizing a fund-raiser tohelp Los Angeles Earthquake victims. Sigma Phi Delta, a social and charitable fraternity at CSUSM designed a fund-raiser that allows us to enjoy the beautiful southern California coastline while helping our neighbors to the north. Buy o ne t hree-hour w halewatching ticket f or $ 15 and $5 will be donated to the Los Angeles Quake Relief Fund while $10 will go to Apollo Charters. Captain JeffJohnson has agreed to run the fund-raiser through March 15,1994. The Apollo is an all-aluminurn 65 foot 22 inch sports fisher with a full galley and sleeping quarters for 30, "just in case you get sea sick" said Harvey. The boat is certified to accommodate 94 whale watchers. Harvey chose the Apollo for several reasons. "It holds 94. It is one of the nicest boats and Captain Jeff Johnson was most generous in working with me." Harvey said. Radio stations KCEO (95.9 FM) and KCET (1000 AM) interviewed Sigma Phi Delta last Sunday. The fraternity spoke about CSUSM and promoted their whalewatching fund-raiser at the same time. The radio interview is on reserve in the school archives section of the CSUSM library. Sigma Phi Delta is now coordinating group trips aboard the Apollo. Harvey was approached by Japanese students at UCSD who are interested in an English as A Second Language whale-watching trip. Harvey is currently working o naCSUSMFaculty whale-watching excursion. Tickets must be bought in advance and are available for purchase from any Sigma Phi Delta member. For more information call 967-6523. After "raising as much money as possible" for the Earthquake Relief Fund, Harvey will organize a benefit for the Association of Retarded Citizens (ARC). Sigma Phi Delta may host an Open Invitational Miniature Golf Championship in April with proceeds going to ARC. �CSUSM Prepares for Volunteer DaySaturday, February 26 Learning Disabilities J ohn S egora • • • ' • Coord^or£DisaWedStudent Services \!f 'f^ • What 1$ A Learning DkabiUtyf - ' MMmt-^ nature ^ and M vidiials with A .... ^ m m ^ M ^ h ^vistial ^ f r n m mw at-birth I . inoi^ttj^^jim^ai^ tfet^dl^^te^^ tes^ilil^ <fisiWliiy i result of another Ifowbv^ Wfo* Has A Z^^ . ifeftd^ ^ d^abiHtf i f r D isahil$# S ocialist at # l ^&fai; S i e h i l ^^^^^^^^^^ wtth a l eaning n (Learairig a fypiM university; ; a P ^ s i b i l ^ ^ t t j c l p s e t o 200 students wi(h oiih&Qr p ^ a • disabled popu|atibn are ^ver identified a n d S t Y es.

California State University San Marcos has a special role in the North San Diego County area, and in the spirit of community partnership, the university initiates and offers programs to further intellectual, professional, and personal development within the diverse community which it serves. Volunteer Day activities on Saturday Feb. 26, 1994, in the spirit of community partnership, center around youth, the environment, the elderly, a museum exhibit, and assistance with tax preparation for lowincome individuals. The kick-off rally is in Commons 206 from 8 to 9 AM. Mayor Lee B. Thibadeau, who has proclaimed Feb. 26,1994 as Volunteer Day in the City of San Marcos, will participate. Volunteer activities start at 9 and continue to noon both on campus and in the community. Many CSUSM clubs and organizations are volunteering their time to assist the next generation to envision a university education in their future. They are joining together to provide campus tours and funfilled workshops to youngsters invited from San Marcos schools, Boys and Girls Clubs, and Key Clubs from the surrounding community. The following clubs are participating: the Liberal Studies Student Association, the Computer Club, the Student California Teachers Association, Circle K, the Silver Shield, El Club de las Americas, M.E.Ch.A., the Association of Business Students, and the Pan African Student Alliance. Environmental volunteer service is at nearby Discovery Lake Park. Earth Club, the Associated Students, and the 3-D orga- nization along with a Girl Scout troop, will focus their services on sprucing up the park and creating a nature display. The Accounting Society will help low income individuals with their tax preparation, and the Argonaut Society will prepare a new exhibit for the San Marcos Historical Society and Museum. Key College Opportunities plans to continue their services to seniors in San Marcos. The Knights also plan to continue with their c lub's involvement in Special Olympics. English language students from Japan will join in a variety of the on-going activities. The Japanese Culture Exchange Club is planning a potluck for the volunteers after all events have been completed that day. Students from Soc 309 Aging and Society, as part of Service-Learning in the course, will assist at the Elder/Adult Care Annual Public Forum sponsored by the San Marcos Family Care Commission at the San Marcos Joslyn Senior Center. Participation is welcome and students, staff, and faculty can sign up in the Associated Students Office to join in activities organized by CSUSM clubs and associations. Many hands not only make the work lighter, but more enjoyable. Volunteer Day will provide an opportunity for students and our local community to participate in cooperative services. These activities fulfill several university goals including outreach and cooperation with our broader community, promotion of civic pride and responsibility, and initiation of contacts f or service-learning. A number of our faculty are encouraging service-learning in their classes to link real-life experience through service to the theories and concepts taught in the course. Service-Learning host Dwight Giles California Center for the Arts Galleries B ecome Museum The Service-Learning Committee enthusiastically anticipates upcoming guest lecturer, Dwight Giles, of Vanderbilt University. Giles will be speaking at CSUSM on Monday, Feb. 21 and Tuesday, Feb. 22. Giles, an expert in the field of servicelearning, has been granted a three-year FIPSE grant dealing with learning outcomes in the field of service-learning. His talk entitled, "What Is This Thing Called Service-Learning: Working Through Definitional Confusion," will be addressed to the CSUSM campus on Feb. 21 from Noon-1:30 PM. Everyone is invited to attend. This month the California Center for the Arts, Escondido, designated 9,000 square feet of gallery space at the $75 million arts center as the California Center for the Arts Musuem. The Museum will be a permanent nonprofit institution, essentially educational and humanistic in purpose, which will own, study, care for, and regularly exhibit and interpret works of art to the public. The new museum will curate exhibitions of regional, national and international artists and host traveling exhibitions, as well as establish a Permanent Collection of art from the 20th century, with an emphasis on American and regional art. �The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws. — Tacitus CSUSM Writing Requirement -mindless labor or intellectual growth Roy Latas Legislature Sidesteps the Real Issues Staff Writer Students* interests in issues such as free speech, child care and Student Union fees gain and lose momentum, yet the All University Writing Requirement (AUWR) constantly sparks opinions from students and faculty. The initial grousing of first semester students translates to praise and thanks from graduating seniors. Up to this point in our academic careers, there has been a general lack of emphasis on English composition skills in American education which has caused American industrial and economic institutions to question the academic standards that allow colleges and universities students to graduate without adequate writing skills. CSUSM is trying to remedy this situation with the AUWR. The definition of the AUWR, as stated in the 1992-1993 University Catalog, is: "Students are advised to note that every course at California State University, San Marcos has a writing requirement component of2,500 words. This requirement can be filled in a variety of ways, depending on the course." This impersonal sounding writing r equirement r epresents the F ounding Faculty's intention of creating a graduating population instilled with exemplary writing skills. They hoped the AUWR would furnish a mechanism that insured all graduates received sufficient opportunity to use and improve their writing skills. The AUWR makes it necessary for all students to write within a variety of disciplines in varying contexts from literature to biology. The Founding Faculty also understood the demand for clear, concise, and logically written communication in the postgraduate areas of employment and graduate school, as well as in family and social contexts. The implementation of the AUWR takes a variety of forms depending on the discipline and faculty member. A common form is the 2,500 word paper. Here, the student makes an in-depth study of a particular topic and presents a detailed report that condenses many information sources into a 3 Strikes You're Out clear and compact analysis. Other faculty members may assign several smaller papers during the semester, thereby reducing student stress levels, as well as the instructor's laborious task of grading multitudes of long papers at one time. The format of a paper or assignment presents an infinite array of possibilities. Some professors employ written work in the form of diaries, screenplays, journals, letters, or novella, promoting a new critical frame for the student to exercise his or her analytical perspective. These formats challenge the students' minds to realize alternative connections within the subject matter while increasing the students' creative freedom, and making the task less intimidating. The journal is the most popular alternative form of writing. Journal entries are devoted to the preceding week's discussions; the journal condenses the student's comprehension of new material while allowing the professor an insight into the absorption of lecture information. The journal entries allow the professor to understand when issues are cloudy and make adjustments or reviews when necessary. The faculty relies on the AUWR to furnish students with an additional opportunity to decipher what they learn through writing, and reassemble classroom information in a way that demonstrates understanding of the concepts. Writing theorist Peter Elbow calls this process "cooking.' "Cooking means getting material to interact." The interaction of thoughts creates new material that the student can interpret which may include segments of classroom experience and personal insight. This process is assimilation not memorization. The student undergoes a metamorphosis through conceptual analysis. Elbow also reminds his readers that "[g]rowing means getting words to evolve through stages," not overnight. The intent of the AUWR is growth within the student, and we all have felt some growing pains. However, our new stature has the foundation of improved writing skills. THE PRIDE, CSUSM Student Newspaper, San Marcos, California 92096-0001, (619) 752-4998 EDITOR-IN-CHIEF: Mary Szterpakiewicz BUSINESS MGR/ADVERTISING: Sheryl Greenblatt COPYEDITORS: Donald Beran, Roy Latas, Anita Williams LAYOUT EDITOR: Krista Thornton PHOTOGRAPHY: Carlos Mariscal, Mary Szterpakiewicz STAFF WRITERS: Karin Foster, Amy Glaspey, Peter Gorwin,Thomas Lee Huntington, Roy Latas CONTRIBUTORS: Claire K. Langham, Susan Mendes, Joel Grinolds, MD, John Segoria By Thomas Lee Huntington Staff Writer In theory, it is difficult to argue against any of the five "3 Strikes and You're Out" crime bills currently in front of the California state senate. All the bills guarantee stiffer sentences for any criminal convicted of a second violent felony and life imprisonment if convicted of a third. Certainly, violent crime has reached epidemic proportions in American society and it is obvious that something must be done. The "3 Strikes" concept has provided politicians with an unprecedented opportunity to look tough on crime without alienating any powerful voting lobby. Even President Clinton, in a State i of the Union address otherwise dedicated to health care and welfare reform, received his biggest bipartisan applause by reiterating his support of such a bill on the federal level. It is wise, though, (as it is with anything to which all politicians pay carefully calculated lip service) to maintain a healthy skepticism about the rash of current crime legislation. In California, the "3 Strikes" frenzy was fueled in large part by the murder of Polly Klaas, the young child kidnapped from her living room and brutally killed by aconvicted felon. Klaas' story mesmerized the nation, in large part because it symbolized the encroachment of violent crime into suburbia. "Are our children no longer safe in their own homes?" parents everywhere wondered. Many of those parents had political pull, and the conviction that something must be done to keep violent criminals behind bars and out of our neighborhoods eventually reached the state legislature. The Klaas case was a horrible tragedy. But horrible tragedies are the norm in many of our inner cities, a fact which seems to have escaped our governmental leaders for quite some time. A child in Watts has not been safe in her own living room for a long time now. She has not been safe on her way to school, in her classroom, on the playground or on her way home. She has been forced to live with the fact that violence is a way of life in her community. Streets burned, buildings were looted, a city was ignited and the California legislature did nothing to address crime in the inner city. There has been no legislation aimed at creating economic opportunities for the young people in Los Angeles most likely to turn to crime. There has been no increase in police protection in urban areas plagued by constant gang warfare. There has been no attempt to stop crime before it starts by engaging in the kind of honest discourse about values and community that elected officials are so afraid of. The same politicians who turned their back as our cities turned into war zones now purport to end crime as we know it by guaranteeing a few stiffer sentences. I t's not a bad first step, but i t's hardly enough and i t's long overdue. Student Activist Collects Signatures Garrett Collins, English major, is an example of student activism at CSUSM.

I found this message written on toilet paper—CSUSM toilet paper, in a lavatory here on campus: "HOMOS SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED GAY BASHING IS THE CURE" I find this message disturbing enough that I refrain from signing my name out of concern for personal safety. Although I believe that college might help open this person's mind, I feel sad, regardless of my views on homosexuality (tolerance of those different from me), that someone among us declares hatred in this vile and covert way. Rather than engage in open debate, the writer chose to display his hatred anonymously. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR— Should be 250 words or less and signed by the writer.

Input from faculty, $tudeiits;staff and the business community is Invited to explore the future of higher education, A recent is^ueof the Economist referred to today- s/universities as "towers of babble" raising serious issues facing higher education. What are the goals of universities today? Are they meeting the needs of the marketplace? What should be the purpose of a tax-supported institution? The public university, like other government institutions, is slow to change. Revered as instruments of enlightenment in the past, today government treats higher education like an inefficient Nationalized industry. Once considered the engine of economic growth, today's university is becoming a dinosaur, concerned more with image than impafct te^^^ away from tiiii#rsities for advice and rese^rcto; turning to think-tanks such as the ffiritafe^'F^ndation^-CATO Institute and l&ftnci^^ The' taostfre-, quejiteom^ are t hat'toiyersilies -We f illed with 1960s dogooders and that "academics rarely give 'y^u^ fWiinoney ;.»[and] star professors are perpetually on sabbatical." With fees skyrocketing, and college enrollment declining, what docs the future hold ifor tdmoitow's college graduate? The computer is probably partially responsible. An enormous array of information is available at the fingertips of every nimble typist with a modem for a fraction of the cost of a college education. By way of Compuserve, Prodigy and Internet we can access thousands of online databases and hold discussions with experts from around the globe. Video tape is another medium which offers practical, educational applications for a fraction of the cost of a college education. Palomar College introduced the TV course, where you can study accounting, anthropology or Spanish in the comfort of your home. Rising costs and declining revenues are forcing universities to re-evaluate priorities. University costs, according to The Economist, rise much faster than inflation because they are labor intensive (wages rise faster than prices). Even Ivy League colleges are teetering on alienating the middle class, leaving these legendary institutions to the idle rich. Politicians are questioning whether the money could better be spent on other things. Private industry has been much better at harnessing the information revolution than its public-sector counterparts. The market must adapt quickly to the needs of J N marketplace, or die. Tlie combination of academic tenure and cumbersome decision-making tends to preserve old institutions rather than expand or create new ones. • % Governments bent on reform are looking at three popular strategies. The first uses the market approach with government playing the role of the purchaser, By linking funding to performance and separating research funds from money for teaching, government has provided two distinct ways of boosting a university's i ncomeincreasing the number of pupils or improving the quality of their research. British universities are pursuing these different avenues for survival producing remarkable results within a short period of time. Oxford, Cambridge and the like, emphasizeresearch. The next top 10 schools have a mix of both research and a teaching focus, while a third group focuses primarily on teaching. While academics regard thisas an affront to their dignity, this scheme - A second approach in cutting costs is to simply shift funds to cheaper institutions like community colleges and innovative sources of higher education, like workstudy programs, distance learning, and getting credit for life and work experience. A third strategy is for universities to diversify their funding. Rather than relying solely on government funds, universities should market their research to local industry. In the U.S., industry-sponsored research has more than quadrupled in the past decade. This would serve to create a better rapport with the business community, and attract funding as well as provide a purpose for graduates. Raising fees is another way to diversify funding. While critics complain that this would curtail expansion, in Britain, "free" education has done little to bring the hordes to the sanctuary. The fact remains that local, state and federal governments are putting a limit on educational funding. Universities must accept the fact that governments are becoming increasingly reluctant to fund higher education. California's school system once satisfied private industry s demand for technical research, physicists, chemists and engineers that fueled the dramatic growth of the California economy. These positions are now predominantly staffed by foreigntrained graduates. Can higher education meet the needs of an ever-changing marketplace? �I'll Take Anything" holds up despite drastic revisions 66T? Thomas Lee Huntington Staff Writer It is no secret that James L. Brooks' new film I'll Do Anything began life as a fullfledged Holly wood musical. It was an ambitious idea, but test audiences were so turned off by the musical numbers that Brooks felt compelled to rework the entire film. The director edited and reshot to such a degree that the only semblance remaining of the film's previous incarnation is a solitary song T M ouie R euiew by five year old Whittni Wright. The film holds up surprisingly well after such drastic revision, mainly on the strength of the acting and Broolcs' ear for witty and insightful dialogue. Nick Nolte heads the cast, portraying a down-on-his-luck actor forced to take in the six year old daughter he hasn't seen for two years. Albert Brooks is an action film producer obsessed with the bottom line and Julie Kavner is a public opinion pollster who runs tests screenings and can utter nothing but the truth. Wright is truly a discovery as the bratty, precocious child with whom Nolte must re-establish a bond. The plot is unimportant in a film such as this, where most of the pleasure comes in watching the actors inhabit their roles. Nolte is outstanding as a likable guy struggling to come to terms with the realities of parenthood and Hollywood at the same time; the best scenes in the film are between Nolte and Wright. Their exchanges seem genuine and honest because the characters have been so well crafted and written with such care. The laughter and tears this father—daughter relationship invokes are not easy and sentimental; the actors earn the sentiment. Less successful is the subplot involving a romance between Brooks and Kavner. Both actors are superb, especially Brooks. His producer character could easily have been a stock stereotype, an easy villain for a film about the film industry. But, perhaps because the director is also himself a producer, the role is given complexity and even a degree of likableness. It is not difficult to see why the kind, giving character played by Kavner would be attracted to such a person. But the romance is inadequately explored. Perhaps this is the area where the music played an integral role and the reshooting and editing couldn't completely cover that gap. Nonetheless, I'll Do Anything is an extremely likable, well-written film about a group of interesting, complex people. It is difficult to imagine the movie as a musical, which is probably a tribute to Brooks editing ability and an indication that he ultimately made the correct decision.

Dr. Thompson took a critical look at public policy regarding crime, and the impact this legislation will have on the African-American community. As the economy begins to recover, politicians have started shifting their focus from economic concerns to the issues of crime and violence. President Clinton reflected this trend in his address to the nation. Dr. Thompson commented that the President's " Three Strikes You're Out' was the centerpiece of the President's State of the Union address." The proposed "Three Strikes You're Out" legislation would sentence offenders convicted of a third violent felony to mandatory life imprisonment. Thompson criticized this type of legislation as representing "an imbalance between punishment and prevention." He argued that this policy would have minimal effects on crime, while depleting funds that could be used to address critical social needs. Furthermore, this legislation would most negatively effect the AfricanAmerican community. Thompson argues that legislators who support these bills use "faulty assumptions." Supporters declare that high imprisonment rates will lessen crime. In fact, Thompson stated studies prove the opposite is true. States that have the highest rate of incarceration have the most violent crime, while states that have the lowest rates have less violent crime. According to Thompson, supporters of PUBLIC SAFETY NEWS S LICK R OADS the "Three Strike" policy also promote the idea that mandatory sentencing will guarantee imprisonment of criminals. Thompson also argued that President Clinton is fully aware of problems that plague the AfricanAmerican community. Clinton acknowledges that crime has increased because of the breakdown of family and community. The President also recognizes that black youths need more employment opportunities. Yet, according to Thompson, Clinton chooses to promote legislation that will increase the breakdown of these values. He feels the President's policies towards crime ignore the underlying problems. African-American families are severely threatened by the high incarceration rate of young black men. Youths in prison cannot form stable families. Many of those incarcerated have turned to crime because their community lacks jobs that would allow them to support families or themselves. Lack of financial resources prevents these youths from seeking better employment in the suburbs. Limited opportunities for young black men often leads to crime as a solution for survival. Effective legislation would directly address these problems, Thompson believes. Rather than spend millions of dollars incarcerating criminals for their entire lives, money could be spent on programs that would offer disadvantaged youths alternatives to crime. Year-round sports programs, improved schools, and effective job-training centers could be implemented as a means of preventing youths from engaging in crime. Criminals already imprisoned should receive counseling to develop stronger social skills, while receiving employment training and education. Education and training in prison could provide incentive and motivation to find work after release. Dr. Thompson did not deny the seriousness of violent crime, or the fact that society must punish violent offenders. However, the seriousness of this problem should cause legislators to create laws that work towards genuine solutions. American society is demanding the reduction of violent crime. Dr. Thompson argues that although President Clinton's proposals may appear tough, they will do little or nothing to solve America's violent crime problem.

OTHER CSU NEWS: An update on plans for a new CSU campust at Fort Ord. Downsizing in the military has given the CSU an unprecedented opportunity to receive 1,300acres of Fort Ord in Monterey Bay for a new campus that eventually will accommodate 20,000 students by 2020. According to the progress report to the trustees give by J. Handel Evans, president of San Jose State University, and Peter Hoff, CSU senior vice chancellor for academic affairs,finalconveyance of the property by the federal government is expected by May, and the first group of students is expected by fall 1995. The federal government already has provided $15 million of an eventual $135 million that will be provided to the system to convert existing buildings to campus usage. Keeping Romance in Your Relationship P am F arrel Contributing Writer February is the month for lovers. Red and white hearts adorn the malls and everyone is in the mood for romance. However, in our society, romance and sex getinterchanged as if synonyms. Sex can often be a sultry killer to romance and can thwart a person from finding true love. Consider these findings: Mosts couples break up when a crisis pregnancy arises. There are no "STD" bouquets to send when you give your lover a sexually transmitted disease. A ccording to D ick Day and J osh McDowell, authors of "Why Wait," a sexual relationship can cloud your decision making process and your hormones can connect yout to someone that your heart knows isn't right. Studies have concluded that couples who live together prior to marriage are twice as likely to end up in divorce court. In a survey of the first graduating class of Cal State San Marcos students, 51 percent gave an okay to casual sex. but there is nothing casual about sex. Giving yourself' totally to another, bearing your body and soul isn't the same as having your usual morning cup of coffee. Perhaps we have all lsot sight of the difference between love and lust. Na- tionally know, psychologist, Steve Arterburn explains the difference between love and lust as— Love is personal, lust is impersonal. Love is concrete, focused on a particular object; lust is unfocused, capable of fixing on almost any object. Love tends toward faithfulness, lust is a wanderer. Love seeks stability, lust is short-lived and mercurial. Love is an affair of the mind and heart, lust is an affair of the emotions and hormones. Love is a matter of giving, lust is matter of taking. Musicians Steve and Annie Chapman have a line in one of their love songs, "True love starts with a kiss of hearts." To keep romance in your life, give your heart and keep your body until you hear, "With this ring, I thee wed." No matter your sexual history, you can make decisions today to protec t your future lovelife and ensure that romance becomes a lifestyle rather than a fleeting sentiment on a Hallmark card. Pam Farrel is a graduating senior who has coauthored a book with her husbandBill. Their book "Pure Pleasure: Making Your Marriage a Great Affair ** is due out in June. Pam is also a member ofS.A.LT., a Christian group on campus. Presidents, Faculty Receive Salary Increases Presidential salaries were increased for the first time in three years by the Board of Trustees. Five collective bargaining agreements, including one with the California Faculty Association, also were ratified, giving many employees their first general pay increases in several years. Effective April 1, salaries for the 20 presidents were raised an average of 8.6 percent. The annual average salary of a CSU president will be $130,461, up from $120,075. Two presidents serving in interim positions did not receive increases; when those permanent appointments are made, new salaries will be set. Approximately $17 million for salary increases for presidents and other CSU employees was set aside by trustees after the legialators augmented the CSU budget by $50 million for 1993/94. The presidental increase will total about $200,000; the rest of the $ 17 million will go for the system* s 33,000 employees. �Video Class To Make Music Video Last year's class visits Daniels Cablevision (you know who you are) Stuart Bender's video class has started again this semester.

BY SARAH GADDIS Pride Staff Writer . , N ews p ise G olf Course Earthquake safety has become increasingly more important with the earthquakes in Haiti, Chile, and more recently on Easter Sunday, a 7.2 earthquake in Baja California, less than 160 miles away from campus. California State University San Marcos is proud of their emergency protocols and earthquake safety procedures are just one of the many plans available to students and staff. The campus has an Emergency Plan that is available online. The plan consists of a list of priorities that safety staff will follow in case of a disaster. The campus, including the University Police, is well prepared for any sort of disaster or natural occurrence. The Police force is very prepared and Lt. McManus made it clear that in the case of a devastating earthquake, University Police would b^ on campus as soon as possible. "The downside to these big disasters is if it is big enough to damage this campus, it is big enough to damage a lot of other stuff ¡p ., See Page 3 I Features H appy Hour "See Page 5 Arts & Entertainment In Theaters I Photo courtesy of Sarah Gaddis Image courtesy of Sequoia Survival Co. around, so the sheriffs are going to be quite tied up." If that were to happen, campus police have an emergency plan that consists of therp calling on back up, whether it is the San Marcos Sheriff's Department or San Diego Police Department. Although, if a big tragedy such as an earthquake was to happen, that might not be the best course of action. Recently, universities have joined together to form the Critical Response Unit. This Unit consists of 1-6 officers from each campus specially trained three to four times a year to be part of this team. The Critical Response Unit is available when the local law e nforcement is not. "Within twenty-four hours, [campus police] will have upwards of about fifty officers on c^mpuê ^ t h a t we're self sufficient and the s heriffs [local law] can deal with their own [situations]," said Lt. McManus. The University Police are Photo courtesy of Sarah Gaddis not the only ones on campus organized for catastrophes. The CSUSM website offers many links to disaster preparedness as well as contact information to Dean Manship, CSUSM's Emergency Manager. Earthquake preparedness measures are just one of the multiple procedures available to students and staff. "Drop, cover, and hold on," is the first rule and the most important. If an earthquake were to happen on campus, the priority would be to protect oneself. If outside, go to a clear area away from trees or buildings and the possibility of having something fall on you. If inside, drop, cover, and hold on until the earthquake is over.

The original DSi First, the most publicized device featured expandable memory and is the iPad. With all due respect, it enhanced Wi-Fi, which the XL is a giant iPod touch. Yet, it is a perfect device for what it does. It is a large, easy to read screen for watching movies, reading, and browsing the web. It is a nice blend of the large interface of a computer and the quick and portable design of the iPod touch. Critics have pointed out the downsides of the product, especially the lack of a tactile keyboard, but this new large device has created its own niche. I do not think it was meant to be a Netbook or tablet. It is essentially away to take in media on the move and the first step towards new capabilities of portable electronics. But there are two other items that also snuck out that are worth mentioning. Nintendo reinvigorated portable gaming once again with the DSi XL and the smart phone company HTC released the HD2, the world's largest touch screen expanded on, thus making it more like a home console. This portable device with the features mirroring an XBOX or PlayStation is a glimpse into the future of video games. Last, there is the HD2 by HTC, which is hard to call a cell phone. Its large, high-resolution screen and Internet capabilities rival early computers. This device dwarfs previous phones that were considered large. The HD2 can do more than make calls and sends texts. Users can browse the full Internet, rent streaming movies from Netflix, and compose Microsoft Word documents. It boasts one of the best processors amongst phones, which makes me think that this is the prelude to an exciting future where people have one device that does everything. All three of these new larger devices could one day come together in a world where people have one device for calls, communication, music, media, and gaming. It seems the days of making devices as small as possible are over. Everything is going to be bigger and more loaded for the next couple of years.

Disc golf, like traditional golf, is a game where the objective is to advance to the target with as few strokes (or throws) possible. Instead of using clubs and a ball, a flying disc is released toward the target which is a standing basket. The sport can be played individually or as a group, CSUSM Campus Recreation, led by Director Hugo Lëcomte, chose construction of the course as its primary project this year. ASI is a student run 501(c)3 organization that oversees many of the student life organizations on campus. "As a University actively engaged in the life of our students and the community we serve, the new disc golf course will serve our goal of making CSUSM a destination location for those seeking a positive environment for recreation," said Lecomte, noting that oncampus recreational activities are contributing factors to student success, providing exercise, opportunities for socializing and a stronger sense of home for students. In addition to recreational use, the course will provide opportunities for both the College of Education and the Kinesiology Department in the College of Arts and Sciences to conduct pedagogical instruction. The no fee course will also be open to community members who can play the course as it winds through campus.

CSU students and representatives as well as AT&T representatives will travel on a tour bus to underserved communities around the state promoting the road to CSUs. The Tour starts on April 12 and runs through to May 14 visiting middle schools, high schools, community and CSU campus events in nearly every CSU campus service area in the state.

The Tour is attempting to raise more awareness by attempting to bring in legislators, city and state officials, celebrities and others in an attempt to draw more media coverage.

The happiest time on earth: h appy hour BY SANDRA CHALMERS Editor-in-Chief A good drink and an appetizing small bite for less than $10 is music to many stu-, dents' ears. There is no argument that happy hour is the best hour, and here in North County even the smallest joints serve up a good variety of drinks and dishes for an affordable price. liappy hour offers the best ofboth worlds, the ability to try new food and drinks withogitfae remorse ofpáying too much for something that disagreed with your taste palate. Rooking to branch out away from the traditional bar and tavern foods, trying a wine bar with more international delights can satisfy an adventurous craving. Vinz Witie Bar in Escondido introduces their "happiest hours" menu with more that 10 different wine selections for less that $6 a glass. Their wine ranges from Argen- tina, South Africa, Italy and even Sonoma. Bottled domestic beer offered at $2 while imports such as New Castle and Heineken go for $3. Good eats at Vinz range from sweet potato Cajun fries for $3 to German Schlyders for $5, every item on the menu stays below $5. A Yelp reviewer gives Vinz a five star rating noting its cute décor and its varied vine selection. Almost a neighbor to Vinz is Tango Restaurant and Lounge. Tango offers happy hour specials six days a week in their lounge area. Their happy hour menu offers 50 percent off bar-drink specials.

The muscle activity (non rapid eye movement) and REM of NREM sleep is low, but the muscles (rapid eye movement)." Bodily systems retain their ability to function." Also, there are other factors associated with NREM and REM sleep for students to consider when approaching these sleeping patterns. One of the main reasons is that student's do not get enough sleep is, that there is simply is not enough time in the day for sleep. Along with time constraints and environment cues, which include light vs. dark, student's sleeping patterns largely affect the type of sleep they are getting. The National Heart and Blood Institute reveals, "Tlie clock directs the rhythmic secretion of hormones, such as melatonin, that influence our sleep cycle. If the biological clock gets out of phase with the environment, various types of sleep problems can result." For students, getting sleep is an important aspect to their health and success for their education. How- ever, sleeping problems are common amongst students with poor sleep patterns and there are many different factors that affect the quality and quantity of sleep students can get. According to the National Heart and Blood Institute, "Poor sleep hygiene and/or biological factors can lead to a variety of sleep disorders such as insomnia, narcolepsy, apnea, and restless legs syndrome." Along with these factors, "Sleep loss has a number of negative impacts on society, including loss of productivity, increased accident rates, increased vehicle crashes, and medical consequences" Sleep proves to be a very important aspect to consider for students, in order to be productive and successful within their classes and lives.

Ashman's late home run earns split against BY KYLE TREMBLEY Ciera Ashman's two-run home run in the sixth inning of game two secured a very hardfought split for CSUSM Softball at home against Azusa Pacific. CSUSM lost first game 4-3 in extras and won the second 2-0. #16-ranked Cal State San Marcos is now 29-11 on the season, while Azusa Pacific is 22-17. After the game one loss, Ashman's late long ball gained extra significance, as this veteran Cougar team once again proved its resilience by bouncing back from a very tough defeat. Azusa Pacific came in to game one with a smart approach against CSUSM ace and NAIA wins leader Brenna Sandberg. As opposed to swinging for the fences, APU worked the count, put the ball in play, and put pressure on the defense, and successfully generated a pair of runs. Down 2-0 in the sixth inning though, CSUSM would rally. With two outs and Alyssa Dronenburg on first, Shanti Poston and Kimi Villalpando hit solid singles, with the latter driving home Dronenburg. The throw home got away from the catcher, and Poston was able to slide home safely with the tying run. The game went to extra innings, where Azusa Pacific took immediate advantage of the international tiebreaker. APU bunted its runner over to third, and a bloop single brought her home. Later in the inning, a two-out double would make it 4-2. CSUSM would not go down quietly though, with Dronenburg leading off with a single to put runners on the corners. A double-steal then brought the run home but cost the Cougars their baserunner; however, Lauren Nelson and Erica Coelho drew back-to-back walks, putting the winning run on base. After a strikeout, an infield pop-up appeared to drop in, but interference was called on Nelson rounding third to end the ballgame. Pitcher Brenna Sandberg went all 8 innings, allowing 3 earned runs on 10 hits. She walked 2 and struck out 5 batters. After that loss - just the third in now 20 games at CSUSM Softball Field - Sandberg and her team needed to rally for game two, and they did. Sandberg was excellent on the mound, surrendering just 4 hits in yet another complete game effort. She walked none and struck . " out 2 batters to improve her record to 27-8 this season.

The benefits are endless for the person who embarks on this great adventure of learning how to surf. Personal health should be important to everybody, and there is no greater way to get into shape than by doing an athletic activity that is more fun than work. MSNBC recently reported on how surfing is not only meditative, but great for the body as well, by presenting the notion that "dedicated surfers accidentally build physiques that health-club acolytes would trade their memberships for." Also appearing in the report was Dr. Mark Renneker, a renowned big-wave rider in San Francisco who recommends surfing to his non-surfing patients who suffer from high blood pressure, repetitive strain injuries, and chemical addictions. Long time suffers are known to refer to surfing's other healing properties, such as expressed in this testimonial of a local surfer, "It [puts] you one with nature, clears your soul of bad vibes, and can make you more humble." For whatever the reason surfing seems appealing, the experience may even create more reasons to be drawn to it, such as the "stoke" of surfing, an indescribable feeling that consumes surfers, causing them to always want more time in the water. A crash course in surfing is best done through instruction, and due west of San Marcos there happen to be two camps that teach children as well as adults for a decent price. Gerry Kantor, surfing since the 60s in the San Diego area, heads Leucadia Surf. His business is very reputable since he requires that all instructors have several water safety certifications, be avid long time surfers, and either be a college graduate or a current college student. The instructors are also thoroughly trained and given specific written guidelines for instruction. Leucadia Surf's set up is on Moonlight Beach, which they boast as having "[some] of the best beginner waves in San Diego." Depending on if the participant wants one on one instruction or group, the cost can range from $60 to $120 for a two-hour session. The lesson also includes the use of a board and wetsuit. Another surf camp located close by is So Cal Surf Lessons, conducted at North Carlsbad State Beach, Frazee. Rusty Friesen, a pro surfer, established this instructional surf business, which follows similar guide- lines as Leucadia Surf, in the summer of 2004. They are a little cheaper, providing lessons in the $55 to $95 range, including a free hour of board rental for students after their lesson. If a beginner would rather take on surfing on their own, they can also rent boards for $8 an hour or $30 for a day, and wetsuiis for $5 an hour or $20 a day from the establishment, So Cal Surf Lessons. The surf shop, Progression Surf, located on the coast highway in Leucadia rents out soft boards at $20 a day, and $40 for a hard board for the day. The only complication may be transporting it to the be&ch. If beginners try to brave this sport on their own, they should acquire a longboard because it will be easier to stand up on, obtain a few helpful tips, and have the ability to swim well. It sounds funny, but the best way to learn to pop up on the board is by practicing on the beach. Put the board on the sand, and then lay on it. Next, place the hands on the board underneath your shoulders as if doing a push up, then push up, and slip the feet separated onto the middle of the board, in a semi-crouched, and sideways stance. < Once the pop-up is perfected the next big feat is to make it out to the waves. The perfect paddling power comes from correct balance on the board, and alternating arms rapidly. Getting through the waves can be chal- the nose of the board digs into lenging, but the more momen- the water. When an agreeable tum obtained in paddling, the wave appears on the horizon, more successful the participant they should orient themselves will be in getting past the break- to be facing the shore, and then ers.

A NITA MARCIEL WILLIAMS/PIONEER "This is a unique university — that's what brought me here." The speaker is Dr. W. Komla Amoaku, Program Director of Visual and Performing Arts at Cal State San Marcos. 'That's the only reason I would make a change after being head of a department for 13 years" he continued in reference to his position in Ohio until August, 1991. "I didn't need to make a move and I had my own home. But something brought me here—it's a place that is determined to make a difference." He and Dr. Don Funes head groups which have recently been recognized as Artists in Residence. Amoaku's group is Sankofa. In addition to their classes on campus, they putin time atelementary and junior high schools —sometimes doing four assemblies in a day— telling children in the area that CSUSM has something different to offer them. "This is the most forward-looking university administration that I have had a chance to work with. On the campus itself the General Education requirements are so unique," Amoaku said, "You don't find those in any other institution. These requirements are notjust to fulfill college credits. "The world that we are looking atrightnow, the next century is not going to be a world that is pigeon-holed . .. if you're in business, it's going to have to be global business. If the company has to deal with a company in Africa, and you don't know anything about Africa, (you will be at a definite disadvantage)." Bonnie Biggs, Coordinator of Public ser- vices at CSUSM, believes in these "goodwill ambassadors," with their forms of non-traditional music. "Whereother universities have artists in residence, they are mostly concerned with traditional jazz or classical music," she said. "These are Anglo-Saxon ensembles which are very likely to perform a Chopin polonaise; whereas the ensembles which Funes and Amoaku direct are not elitist, producing sounds less familiar to audience members. "The music is also inclusive, inviting the audiA R T / M U S I C ence to join in the performance withclapping, singing or dancing." "Jazz in its present form is only related to Africa in its rhythmic structure, by harmonic structure it is not African," Amoako said. "When most traditional Africans hear jazz they are not really able to relate to it in its present form. Only the sophisticated are able to relate to it - they relate to those jazz styles which imply movement components or dance components. 44 The thing about African music is that there is always movement implied in the music. There is no definition for music, per se. The definition for dance is the definition for music, no distinction. Music coming to Africa from abroad that has that component of movement is very well received. After Amoaku got his masters degree in Illinois he went back to Ghana. He taught at the University of Ghana for two years. But he had tasted the life here, and had been very active NEW E RA P ••• • i here, and felt that the change of lifestyle was retarding his growth. "I received a fellowship from the University of Pittsburgh to enroll in the doctoral program. I transferred some credits from U of Ghana in 1973 andfinishedmy doctorate in 1975.1 was the first doctoral student at Pittsburgh in Ethnomusicology. Amoaku said that he has met with resistance in the past with regard to multicultural programs. "I've been in higher education in the United States for at least 18 years - spent most of my time in historically black institutions. (What) surprised me (was) the lukewarm response among academia in those days, about Africa. I was an outsider, they'd rather have an AfricanAmerican in that position than an African. "In spite of what I had to offer, no one was interested. And this was the Harvard or the Yale of the black institutions. What I have faced in this country as an African... who has survived in the system, is that I find more rejection in certain segments of my own people in visual and performing arts where we are supposed to have most of our Africanisms retained. "We (the university) are differentfromeveryone else," this is our focus, multicultural, respect for all culturéis in the world, we are determined to break down all those racial and cultural barriers so that we can learnfromeach other's cultures, that is basically what this whole thing is about. "There aren't many universities in the world where you'll find a program of this nature where you actually have artists in c idence who receive some stipend just to promote the university mission and to enhance the cultural SEE ARTIST/PAGE 4 Pioneer editorship to change hands as founders leave For thefirsttime in Cal State San Marcos' history, the leadership of the student newspaper will change with the appointment of a new Editor-in-Chief. Larry Boisjolie, who co-founded Pioneer in 1990 and has served as Editor-in-Chief since then, will step down at the end of this semester when he graduates from CSUSM. Jonathan Young, cofounder and Graphics Director, will also leave the publication. Replacing Boisjolie is Roman S. Koenig, who served as Editor-inChief at Palomar College's The Telescope for two years. He is currently attending CSUSM, majoring in Political Science, and has worked with Pioneer for the past semester. "This is a major turning point for Pioneer and the university," said Young. "Pioneer has earned therightto be called the 'Best Weekly College Newspaper is California.' Now the staff that elevated the publication to that status is leaving. It's sad to see an era come to an end. It's also exciting because a new erais" about to begin. I look forward to the new ideas and concepts that the new staff and editor will be bringing to CSUSM." "I am very proud to have been chosen as Larry's successor," said Koenig. "It feels good to know that both Larry and Jonathan have the confidence in me to carry on the tradition of excellence established by the two of them beginning in 1990. All three of us have worked together at The Telescope before, so I really feel at home coming to Pioneer." "Choosing a new editor is a difficult task," Young said. "But we knew that if Roman accepted the position, we would not have to worry about the newspaper's future." Boisjolie's plans include obtaining a writing position with a newspaper and possibly leaving the state. Young will remain in the area and serve as a consultant to Pioneer. With a staff of 25 students at one time, Pioneer has published 35 issues with two special sections in the past five semesters. Pioneer's staff also organized and hosted the 1992 California Intercollegiate Press Association Convention in April, a four-day conference which approximately 500 students from California and Nevada attended. "Attending a university like Cal State San Marcos is a once-in-alifetime experience, and l ean assure the students and staff of CSUSM that Pioneer will continue to provide the campus with a college newspaper that isfirstrate " Koenig said. �C ommittee W f orms A new group has formed at Cal State San Marcos called Committee W. The purpose of the organization is to foster balance, professional success, effectiveness, personal growth and well being; and to provide a voice for women's issues and concerns. All students, staff, faculty and administrators are invited to become members. Membership dues are $5 for students and $15 for non-students paid annually. This year, send checks made out to Committee W to Judy Taylor in Human Resources Management.

T ransferring s tudents i ncrease Continuing to meets its commitment to transfer students under California's higher education master plan, the California State University enrolls and graduates more community college transfer students than any other public senior institution in the state. The CSU awarded 80 percent of the baccalaureate degrees earned by students who transfered from a community college to a public senior institution between 1981 and 1990. At Cal State San Marcos, 27 percent of the population is transfer students from Palomar College with 11 percent coming from MiraCosta College. Miramar and Mesa colleges are also major feeders to the campus. 'The CSU has a commitment not only to enroll significant numbers of community college students, but to graduate them," said Harold Haak, CSU interim senior vice chancellor, academic affairs. "While it's always possible to. do better, we believe we are doing a good job of bringing the students into the system and then helping them make their way out." F ood D rive b egins The Associated Students Council has started the annual Cal State San Marcos Holiday Food Drive. Students are asked to donate non-perishable food. All donations will be given to the North County Inter-Faith Council. Boxes, decorated as presents, will be located in the Dome, the A.S. Office and in Academic Hall.

F inal f all e dition This issue marks the final edition of Pioneer for the fall semester. Pioneer will resume publishing when school begins in the spring semester. Honors position filled as grievance policy finalized LARRY BOiSJOLIE/PiONEER Founding Faculty member K. Brooks Reid was officially appointed to the position of Honors Committee Chair Wednesday following recent protests by Associated Student President Laura Mitchell. Mitchell, who spoke at a Nov. 11 meeting of the Academic Senate, based her protests on two complaints filed by students who alleged that Reid demonstrated a bias toward males in his classes. The action spurred concerns and action over the absence of a student grievance procedure at CSUSM. Currently , the Academic Senate is finalizing a plan to air student grievances. Provisions outlining disciplinary measures resulting from upheld grievances still need to be written into the plan. The Academic Senate is expected to finalize the plan by the next meeting of the organization on Dec. 9. "I think it is a mistake making the appointment beforeagrievance policy is finalized," Mitchell said. "It sends a bad message to students about what this university is all about." On Friday Nov. 13, students spoke out in favor of Reid at the Associated Student Council meeting. At the meeting, Mitchell also presented a resolution to the council protesting the lack of a university grievance policy. The resolution states that students will not recognize appointments like Reid's if student input is not considered. The council agreed that the proposal needed refinement before official action would be taken. The resolution was sent back to an executive committee for rewording. Last Tuesday, 30-35 students and about 10 staff members met with Mitchell, Academic Vice President Richard Millman, Vice President of Student Affairs Ernest Zomalt and President of the Academic Senate Edward Thompson III to openly discuss a student grievance policy. According to Mathematics student Chuck Ward, who attended the meeting, the discussion concentrated on student concerns over the grievance policy and dealt little with complaints against Reid. Kelley Gebbie, a former student of Reid's and a member of the Math Club that the Founding Faculty member sponsors, said she sees no evidence that the instructor practices sexual bias toward males. "I think he's a very good and very tough instructor," Gebbie said. "Tough doesn't mean he's sexist" Gebbie said she thinks that Reid is being used as a scapegoat for student grievance policies. Ward, who has taken Reid for several classes, said that the instructor got caught in the middle of a situation that has careened out of control. "Brooks Reid didn't have anything to do with what Laura (Mitchell) wanted to accomplish " Ward said. "Nothing worthwhile is ever achieved through the spilled blood of someone who shouldn't have had blood spilled." Ward said, that by bringing up unsubstantiatedcharges of sexual bias at the Academic Senate meeting, Mitchell acted as judge, jury and prosecutor for Reid. Those accused of crimes in this country are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Ward said this construct does not apply with charges of sexual discrimination. Ward said that he saw no evidence of sexual bias toward males in Reid's classes. He said if bias were a factor than he probably would have gotten better grades. "Hejust doesn't operate that way," said Ward. "That kind of behavior is beneath him. He eats drinks and sleeps mathematics and tennis." Mitchell said Reid is not being singled out to help speed up the formation of a grievance policy. "I don't know the man," Mitchell said. "He is not my focus." Gebbie said that the complaints charging sexual bias may have been a reflection of socially ingrained perception of mathematics. She said that women have been traditionally raised to be not inclined toward math. Women students in the class may unknowingly have carried that bias to class with them and assumed a bias where none existed, said Gebbie. She said she saw no indication that Reid subscribed to that traditional sociological bias. "I didn'tfindhim sexist in class," Gebbie said. "I found him to be brilliant."

"I think that we had decided the A.S. would not consider alternatives . .. because we did make the motion that alternative not be considered," Mitchell said. "If Rob does bring one to our meeting, it probably would not be looked at favorably." If no alternative is found, then the dence helps to offset the cost of that link by supporting the role of the musicians in his group Sankofa. The stipend also helps to present the university mission to the people, which is one of the primary aims of CSUSM. "For me Sankofa is a mode of expression and what I do in Sankofa, I also do in the classroom, so Sankofa is simply an extension of my academic activities. That is why I think it is very important that this group be maintained—both the Andean group and Sankofa. "A Hispanic can identify with the Andean group. And if an African or an African-American can hear Sankofa and identify something that is meaningful to him, then this campus is his home." College Republicans will face the same dilemma again next semester.

Before my return to college I was a manager fen: a grocery store. I was dumbly happy and making a lot of money, until I was unfairly proclaimed as "guilty" by a polygraph of a theft I did not commit Needless to say, I was crushed. It is difficult to comprehend the sanctity and fragility of our own reputations until we find them squashed by functions beyond our control. Humans are creatures of dignity. Once that dignity i s breached, irreparable damage may be done to the precious self. My psychiatrist said I came to journalism to find truth and to protect others from the damages of harmful falsities. Until last issue of Pioneer, I felt I had taken great steps toward the achievement of my goals. In the last issue I penned a story about a conflict over student grievance policies. The issue arose during the Academic Senate's recommendation proceedings of Founding Faculty member K. Brooks Reid to the position of Honors Committee Chairman. Associated Students President Laura Mitchell protested the recommendation because student complaints over the instructor were not taken into account Apparently, some students alleged thatReid showed favoritism toward males in his classes. What bothers me about this whole situation is the willingness of many to condemn Reid and proclaim his guilt The man has contributed an enormous amount of academic energy to the foundation of this university, yet people are willing to denounce him based on what could LARRY BOISJOLIE PIONEER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF very well be student misperceptions. The saying that "you cannot please all of the people all of the time" holds especially true for the thankless jobs of college professors who must instruct classes filled with up to 4 0 separate eager-to-learn individuals. I would guess that there is not one instructor in this entire university who has received all favorable responses from students. Many instructors have even had a few complaints filed by students who were not satisfied with their grades. The underlying problem with the whole situation rested in the lack of a student grievance policy. Mitchell was correct in challenging a system which overlooked the needs of students so callously. Grievance policies protect students from tyrannical professors who score students in manners contrary to the ethical doctrines of higher education. They also protect instructors from character assassination by dissatisfied students. xThe Academic Senate^pushed the forming of a g rieyi^e g pl^y^i^faritqq l png.It^oniy a matter of time before the issue manifested itself as a tangible and uncomfortable situation. The situation, in this instance, became problematic when fliers were posted about campus denouncing the Academic Senate's recommendation for the Honors Committee. These fliers bred the assumption of guilt-by-twisted-logic to an unknowledgeable student population. The kind of logical connections made by flier readers progressed as follows: The university had no grievance policy in place to air legitimate student concerns; therefore the university represented an anti-student constituency; so if the university recommends someone to a position of honor, that person must be anti-student because, by inference, all university decisions are anti-student ones. Since the university recommended someone to a position of honor without taking into account student complaints (which are assumed legitimate because the university did not consider them and by nature the university i s anti-student s o nonconsidpration by the university equals legitimacy) that person must thusly represent the university and be, in conclusion, guilty of crimes against students because he has two complaints filed against him. Such a logical paradigm is paranoiac and not constructive to this university's goals and functions. It disquiets me when students assume an adversarial position against an institution formed solely for their personal betterment The fliers distributed around campus and a table asking for student signatures may have been advanced because of the lack of a grievance policy, but they showed little regard for the These implements irresponsibly assume guilt and hold Reid as a type of sacrificial lamb over the altar of student concerns. I believe that the integrity of one individual As far too sacred to sacrifice for any cause ... even one as noble as a grievance policy. Reid was recommended for the Honors Chair position because nobody else wanted the job. He has already invested a great deal of time in the formation of a program without receiving formal recognition. He is the logical choice for the position and should be considered heavily. If he gains that post, in which he has already served, than it is because of his merits and not because of a university conspiracy. Richard Millman, CSUSM's academic vice president held a forum to air student concerns and has vowed to take student input under consideration. I do not apologize for my treatment of last issue's story. I toiled a great deal over the work to represent fairly all parties to the best of my journalistic abilities. Still, it disturbs me when people make harmful judgements without due process of law based, in part, on information received through one of my stories. It is not my place as a journalist to tell people not to make judgements based on my conveyance of information; but when the sanctity of a man's reputation is breached without factual discourse, then I must object If this situation ends with the formation of a grievance policy, all parties represented in this university will benefit If Reid is improperly judged in the process we, as a university, are no better than the unthinking, irrational machine ^that caused me such pain and anguish. �Students respond to accusations of discrimination, non-discrimination policies and campus voice Supporting math professor Pai State San Marcos IONEER C San Marcos, CA 92096 (619)752-4998 Editor-in-Chief Larry Boisjolie Graphics Director Jonathan Young CONTRIBUTORS: Sheila Cosgrove, Dr. Joel Grinolds, Mik James Hamada, David Hatch, Roman S.

VICE PRESIDENT Student voice in jeopardy Students beware, your voice is in jeopardy! Your studentbody president is malcing decisions for you, focusing on the negative. After attending a recent student meeting with your student body president, I'm perplexed. Does the student government represent student voice on campus, of has a special interest group, an associated students "club" organized? When a classmate offers an opinion in an open forum, and is told by the student body president, "Speak to me in private," I become concerned. When three valued members of the university each address an issue, and try to approach a discussion in a positive manner, and the whiner continues to express negativity, monopolizing the agenda, I become anhoyed. In my opinion, when the president of the student body cannot represent majority interest in a legitimate, genuine manner, the openness and caring of this university are jeopardized. I wish the president of the student body and her colleagues would reread the Mission Statement in their catalog. Trust is a major issue here, and I urge each of you to make your voice known.

In the aftershock of June's twin temblors andFriday'sBigBearquake, concerns over earthquakes are high throughout the state and millions now live in fear that the "big one" will come and leave their lives in ruin. Dr, Steven Spear, associate professor in Earth Sciences at Palomar, is a nearby expert on earthquakes who predicts the "big one" is due any time. "It will hit sometime in the morning during the spring between Anza and Palmdale." According to Spear, the quake will take place along the San Andreas fault and will range from 8.0 to 8.5 on the Richter scale. T he June 16 Big Bear and Yucca Valley quakes registered 7.4 and 6.5 on the scale respectively.

But even though the q uakes stirred many a sound sleeper, they were not deemed as " big" quakes. "Anything over 7.5 is considered a large quake," Spear said. In urban areas, a quake ranging from 5.5 to 7.5 has the potential to be dangerous. Buildings built before 1971 were not subjected to the strict building regulations that are imposed today. "San Diego won* tbe as affected as other places in the event of a major earthquake," Spear said. The Whittier quake in 1987 caused much damage because buildings were older. Spear doesn't believe that San Diego will be the site of the "big one" because the ,area has a lack of large, active fault lines.' "The nearest big fault is the San Jacinto fault with the nearest point to San Diego m Borrego. A big quakeon that fauit will affect San D iego, however, I don't see it doing much damage here," said Spear. The larger of the June quakes, "Earthquake — The Big One" is a carefully staged natural phenortienop measuring 8.3 on the Richter scale at Universal Studios Hollywood. which s eismologists n amed the Landers earthquake after a tiny hamlet near the epicenter, had a preliminary magnitude of 7.4, the third biggest quake of the century in California. Only a 1952 Kern County quake measured at 7.7, and the 1906 San Francisco quake estimated at 7 .9 to 8.3 outrank it. By comparison, the October 1989 Loma Prieta, or World Series, quake had a magnitude of 7.1. One fault ofconcern to San Diegans is the Rose Canyon fault, which is responsible for several small quakes in the area. The fault line runs parallel to Interstate 5 and proceeds southward into the downtown area of San Diego. Due to the composition of the ground in the downtown area, the fault is potentially dangerous. "Much of the area is built on trace soil and loose ground," cited Spear. "A quake at 6.5 could be disastrous." He further points out that there is no recent history of major quakes on the Rose Canyon fault so the potential S ee QUAKES, P age 10 Universal recreates the 'Big One' The "Big one" is here — and it arrived in a big way. On March 18, 1989, Universal Studios Hollywood opened a multidimensional special effects attraction unlike any other ever created: a spectacular 8.3 earthquake. Imposing in scope and stunningly dramatic, "Earthquake" represents the world's first effort to recreate the most shattering phenomenon in nature. The o nly d ifferent b etween Mother Nature* s efforts and those of Universal is that tour guests will know their rattler is coming and if they like, return to experience "Earthquake's" thrills again. On hand to introduce the new attraction in 1989 wereCharlton Heston, Maijoe Gortner, Richard Roundtree and Monica Lewis, stars of the 1974 Universal feature, "Earthquake." In slightly more than two minutes, 200 times a day, seven days a week, ^Universal literally collapses the earth under tram-loads of people, trapping them in a murky netherworld of felled telephone p oles, sparking power cables, deafening train wrecks, noxfious gases and a runaway big-rig {crashed within inches of the tram shooting its "highly flammable' contents at the passengers. | According to "Earthquake's" producers, no detail has been overlooked in Universal Studios Hollywood's ^cataclysmic creation. Housed in a ¿gargantuan 25,000-foot sound stage, ¿the set even includes the omnipresent sounds of big city evening traffic. When the quake actually strikes, travelers view flickering lights resulting from power outages and experience the bone-rattling jolts from a twisting, shaking tram. All the while, they're dodging concrete columns tumbling between the tram cars. In reality, "Earthquake" is.a care- fully staged "natural" phenomenon utilizing state-of-the-art, newly created techniques to baffle and delight visitors caught in this tram temblor. It's been made possible by massive steel pilings sunk 25-feet into the ground and locked together by beams weighing 8,000 pounds each which enable the set to withstand the quake's 600,000-pounds of force. Exhaustive tests by top engineers have been conducted on all aspects of the attraction. Each minute detail has been considered by the engineers and then tested and retested utilizing everything from miniaturized scale models to simulators to determine all conceivable forces experienced.

Local Cafe really rocks B y DJ2BBY D UFFY PIONEER STAFF WRITER If you're looking for what's really shaking in entertainment and food, The Earthquake Cafe, in San Marcos, is the "Big One" you've been awaiting. People entering the Earthquake are immediately greeted with friendly enthusiasm. The decor is 50s-sty le with bright pink and lime green as the primary colors. Stools, surrounding an oldfashioned soda shop counter, stand on a black and white checkered floor created just for dancing. Tables and booths fill the main dining area and, if one chooses to sit outside, there is a covered, heated patio. When I looked at the menu, I was shaken by the many items listed. The waitress suggested I try some of the Cafe's popular favorites. I started with the Crispy Fried Onion Strings. Sweet, thin Onions are delicately fried to a light crispness that makes the taste buds tremble with excitement. My companions and I decided to try the Tangshan Spring Rolls as another tempting appetizer. The treats were s o unusual, we needed coaching by the waitress on how to eat them . We took a spring roll, added ground peppers, celantro and Szechwan sauce and wrapped the works in a lettuce leaf. Few treats are as scrumptious as this. For a main course, my partners ordered a French Trench, which containsa wonderfully large amount of roast beef and Jack cheese on a French roll. The dish is served with a side of Au Jus and horseradish sauce. I split a Chilean BJackenedChicken Sandwich with one of my companions. The course contains a tender breast of chicken sprinkled with Cajun sauce. Lettuce, tomatoes, jack cheese and green chiles are added to the chicken and served on sourdough bread. The meals come with curly fries, sprinkled with a seasoned salt that added spice to the traditional fry we were expecting. The milk shakes are dispensed the old-fashioned way, with extra portions served on the side. They are delicious and caused me to rattle with excitement. Everything on the Earthquake's menu is creative and different. Even the names of the selections have an earth-shaking jolt to them. Food at the Earthquake Cafe is exceptionally delicious, although the prices can cause even the sturdiest of pocketbooks to quiver a bit. The service is enthusiastic and friendly, Jonathan Young/Pioneer and the atmosphere is resplendent. The Earthquake Cafe is located in Old California Restaurant Row in San Marcos. �Q UAKE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8/9 for a large one there is low. Near the San Onofre nuclear power plant lies the Christianitos fault Although the fault hasn't moved in 400,000 years, evidence of earth movement is clearly visible. 'There are hundreds of faults in North County," Spear said. "However, it is built between major fault zones on solid ground." In theeventofanearthquake,Spear said there is little to be done. "The time to act is within the first lew seconds of the quake, getting under a doorway is great in theory, but once the earthquake is underway, it is very difficult to move. It is best to stay where you are." Spear advises that afterwards it is best to stay "indoors if you are indoors when the quake strikes and outdoors if you are outdoors." Aftershocks are likely to hit, so moving may be hazardous. Being prepared when an earthquake strikes is the most important element in avoiding injuries. Spear advised that all people think ahead and prepare in advance for a quake. 'There are things you can do to minimize quakedamage," Spear said. "First, live away from fault zones." Shock waves come from the focus of a quake which is located somewhere along the fault line. As the distance from the focus increases, the intensity of the shock waves decreases. North County is not close to any major faults so, according to Spear, residents are relatively safefrom major earthquakes. . Next, Spear suggests that houses not be built on flat land. "Flat land is flat because it is composed of loose sediment, sand or gravel. These components vibrate much more and increase quake intensity." June's Big Bear quake may have been larger in magnitude than was the Landers quake, but the flat land of the desert propagated more damage than the mountainous terrain. Downtown San Diego is also built on loose ground and stands a greater chance of sustaining damage in the event of a major quake than North County, which is built on granite. Another danger, although rare, associated with loose sediment is ground liquefaction. During a major quake, vibrations can cause loose ground to actually liquify. Ground liquefac tion was noted in the intensely fatal Mexico City quake. y4.G "Live in a decent house," Spear urged. "Adobe, brick and masonry homes can fall apart during a quake. The brick and cement which holds it together vibrate at different frequencies. The difference in vibrations can cause a home to literally break apart." Brick houses built after 1971 have metal reinforcing due to stricter building codes. These houses are safer than non-reinforced houses and stand less of a chance of breaking up. Wood houses are the best due to flexibility. Wood vibrates in a more uniform manner than does adobe or masonry, thereby minimizing structural damage. Even though the fairytale pig with the brick house was safe from the big bad wolf, the pig with the wood house would fare best from the big one. "Avoid high shelving or placing heavy objects high," Spear advised. "I myself am guilty of having stereo speakers high on my wall." In the event of a quake, heavy objects tend to topple from shelves due to a high center of gravity. It is best to keep heavier objects closer to the ground where less damage can be done. "Finally," said Spear, "have a flashlight and a family plan ready. $450 Off Move-In!

In explaining earthquake causes, Spear relates the Earth to an egg. "The crust is like the shell of an egg, the mantle is like the white and the core is like the yolk. 'The mantle (white) moves slowly, constantly and builds stresses which cause the crust (shell) to break. The crust is composed of plates that connect at fault lines." When an earthquake occurs, the entire plate doesn't move; rather, it pivots on a point Thepoint of pivoting is known as the focus. "Quake intensity is measured by the depth of the focus and the distance to theepicenter. Rock type and ground water also contribute to intensity," Spear said. The goal of seismologists is to predict earthquakes with the same accuracy with which meteorologists predict weather. As of yet, that goal has not been realized. "Most common earthquake signs have been noticed only after the fact. Radon emissions from ground water are usually higher. Tidal pulls are also a contributing factor," cited Spear. Earthquakes also occur with a fairly consistent frequency. Many predict the San Andreas is ready to erupt based on this factor. Due to theseelements, some quakes have been predicted within a month ofactivity. As of yet, however, regular accuracy in prediction has not been reached. "It may be dangerous to accurately predict earthquakes," Spear said. "I can envision panic arising out of the news of a large upcoming quake." Nevertheless, Spear believes a "big one" is due. At nearby Palomar College, a seismograph i s used to measure Richter scale readings of larger tremors throughout the world 'The Richter scale is a reading of energy released at the focus," Spear said. "Each step on the scale is ten times higher than the previous step. A 6.5 quake releases more energy than all the nuclear energy in the world." The Palomar seismograph is capable of picking up any earthquake in the world over 5.0. A complete record is kept of all the larger quakes. "The seismograph here is the best in thecounty," Spear said "It is located further away from freeway noises and vibrations than others." Spear also is a member o f the California Earthquake society. The private club takes a semi-humorous approach to quake study and offers, among other things, therightto attend the earthquake of your choice. If the "big one" is the quake you least want to attend, you are likely to be safe. It most likely won't happen in North County. �12 P IONEER/TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1 992 Professionally Managed By: LINCOLN PROPERTY COMPANY CARE Smart Santas Shop Early!

Local theaters are preparing for another year of Christmas classic tales, from "A Christmas Carol" to the '"Nutcracker." To give you an idea of what's coming, hare's a list of North County events. C hristmas C arol Charles Dickens' classic tale is almost as old as Christmas itself. Theater-goers will have the opportunity this year to see a traditional version and some adaptations: • The San Diego Repertory Theatre enters its 17th year presenting Dickens classic, and again the theater company has revised its unique adaptation. This year's show includes a 10-voice gospel choir and a live band. The Rep's show starts Dec. 3 and will run through Dec. 26 with 8 p.m. performances Tuesday through Saturday and performances at 2 and 7 p.m. on Sunday; there will be no show on Christmas. Tickets are $16-$25. For more information, call 235-8025. • The only traditional version of "A Christmas Carol" is being presented by the South Coast Repertory, based in Costa Mesa. Hal Landon Jr. plays Scrooge in the 13th annual show. Previews are Dec. 1-6. The show's regular run is From Dec. 7 through Dec. 27. Ticket prices range from $12 to $27 depending on the seats and week. Call 714-9574033 for more information. • The renowned mimic is back with"Rich Little's Christmas Carol." Chris Little, his brother, plays Scrooge as Rich plays the remaining cast members. It's a big-name show with a big ¡Mice, but a short run. The show plays Dec. 2 and 3 at the McCallum Theater in Palm Desert. Tickets are $65-$95. For more information, call 346-6505. S pike Lee reaches perfection with epic J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER I didn't know much about Malcolm X last week. Some critics even say that people who dress in attire promoting the black leader don't know the true man. But after seeing Spike Lee's "Malcolm X" epic movie, I know everything there is to know — plus a little more. Lee's no-compromise film starts with Malcolm Little — follows him from childhood, to being a ruthless villain and eventually a prisoner, through his conversion to Muslim where he changed his last name to X and to the final confrontations with the world a«d his own beliefs. The director does thi£in a three-hour, 21-minute movie that leaves no stone unturned, no detail omitted. But the time frame doesn't hinder the megamovie. In fact, the film's length is needed to adequately portray who Malcolm X really was and is today. Lee compares his movie to "JFK," an Oliver Stone flick that received acclaim as a remarkable film. Lee's comparison could be correct, in that both movies tell a story in a documentary-style dramatization. But "Malcolm X" goes beyond the story of the late president — it goes beyond the realm of any movie into a dimension that elevates Lee's epic into an instant classic. That's a lot of praise for one movie. But this tale does more than the awarded "Silence of the Lamb," the popular "Batman" series and even the beloved "Beauty and the Beast." " "Malcolm X" is a film that contains no flaws and more importantly, what sets this movie apart from the rest of the pack, this movie teaches a lessen that everyone can learn from. Malcolm X goes through several dramatic changes in his lifetime — all of which are documented in this film. The most stirring segment is when Mr. X rises in a power struggle within the Nation of Islam — and then defies his colleagues in a fierce rebellion. At first, it seems that Lee spends too much film time on the Islamic religion than on the title character. But after a while, it becomes apparent that all the information is of vital importance and becomes clear and more relevant as the story unfolds. Because of the large dedication to the NOI, audiences will not only see what Malcolm X said and did, but also see why. In turn, you learn Mho he is and what he believes, and not just what he was and did. Denzel Washington portrays Malcolm X with conviction. There is no one in show business that could have pulled off the part of well as Washington. At times, it becomes difficult to determine if Lee's directing or Washington's acting is what makes this production so exceptional. If you have the time, see "Malcolm X" while it's in the theater. It will be well worth it. But if you are uncomfortable in those theater seats, you might want to wait until it comes out on video. Don't worry, you may lose the big-screen advantage, but you won't lose the focus of "Malcolm X" on the smaller television. 13 �M usic C alendar Bluegrass, Etc.: Performs at Buffalo Bill's, San Diego, Dec. 15 at 8 p.m. 236-1616 CSUSM Student Andean Ensemble: Performs Dec. 1 at noon in Room 14-102 on campus.
