The thirdyear sociology

Silviera's lone opponent —business major Matt Weaver

Recent surveys sugges|
that the hiring rate for gradu-\

year compared to last, but
CSUSM seniors are still
hesitant and weary about the
prospects in the job market.
Job Outlook's 2012 survey
states that in 2012 employers
plan to hire 9.5 percent more
new graduates compared to
2011.
"Employers will continue
to be selective which means
that they are more likely to

CSUSM student turn out
for elections has been low in
prior years. Approximately
10 percent of the student
population voted in the 2011
elections, according to ASI
presidential candidate Scott
Silviera.
"We actually have more
applicants and candidates
running than the election in
March. My hopes are that is
a sign that the students will
still continue with their involvement," said Gallegos.
During the original March
elections, there were 22 people running in total. This
special election has 27 candidates. Gallegos said, "We
have new faces that have
stepped up as well as those
who ran in the first election."

about to graduate is to visit
your university's career
center. Career centers provide a .variety of resources
for students including career
counseling, internship listings, access to recruitment
centers and job networking

Q: How do you feel about

A: I am very disappointed
with what happened. An act
like this creates a lot of distrust amongst students and

A: His actions alone were
not the only reasons for

Q: Was your ID/password among those stolen

A: My ID/password was
not amongst those that were

Mayor of San Marcos, Jim
Desmond, visited CSUSM
on April 25 as a part of Dr.
Staci Beavers State Politics
(PSCI) course. During his
visit, he informed students
about the inner-workings of
local politics in the City of
San Marcos and discussed
city involvement in current and upcoming developments.
Mayor Desmond was elected to his position in 2006 and
re-elected in 2010. The mayor stated he makes $15,000
per year and serves on the
City Council. As of April 24,
the City Council has hired
a city manager, starting on
June 4, 2012. Both Mayor
Desmond and the city manager will be spearheading
upcoming
developments
near CSUSM.
"Who's my b oss? " asked
Mayor Desmond. "You are,
the voters."
Improvements to Interstate 78 are being worked
on as a coalition between
San Marcos, Escondido, and
Cal-Trans, The San Marcos
Creek District is planned a s .
redevelopment into a downtown, just beyond Discovery
Street and Craven Road.
Funding for these projects
rely on the city's sales tax
and rental revenues, which
are fairly stable.
Sunny from 1.
With the unemployment
rates close to ten percent, it
is now a necessity to search
for a job before graduation
comes around. Before, students would just wait till after their commencement to
look for a job.
"I was originally going to
become a teacher, but my
sister got her credential and
had no job prospects, so she
advised me to change my
major. So I went into cosmetology and am going to work
at a salon," graduating senior
Cabria Camp said.
"I'm relying on moving up
in my job now, maybe get an
internship. I think that it is
kind of what you have to do
these days," senior Brooke
San Marcos Mayor, Jim Desmond, on the
CSUSM campus discussing Interstate 78
and- the upcoming community planned
around the The Quad student housing.

Several students have
raised concerns about rental
rates at The Quad, the new
university housing on Barham Drive. The Quad is a
city projeqt, part of the creation of a University District.
The entire project will feature university friendly businesses, places to hang out
and more pedestrian-friendly
streets.
The goal is that "you can
live there," stated Desmond
in reference to both the
University District and the
downtown Creek District.
"You don't have to be as dependent on cars. Our worst
problem is the traffic issue."
Miller said.
According to Campuscareercenter.com, the key to
a successful and profitable
career search is research and
networking. Meet with influential people, get the right
information, and get good
leads. Ask yourself what
you would really like to do
and see yourself doing. Find
contacts in the area that you
would like to work. Get help
from people with 'influence'.
"I am very excited (about
graduating), but I think I am
more excited about being an
alum and coming back to
the CoB A program and give
back what they gave to me,"
graduating senior Jessica
Kates said.
Q: Your opponent, Scott
Silviera, is an advocate for
the Civility campaign. How
do you feel about the proposal the campaign hopes
to present?
A: I feel that the Civility
Campaign is very good for
the campus community because it gives students the
opportunity to come together
and advocate for each other.
Q: I understand you
are an advocate for the
Pride and Women's Centers, what changes (if any)
would you want to make
regarding the civility campaign on campus?
A: I would add the mission
and core values of both the
Women's Center and LGBTQA Pride Center to the
values of the Civility Campaign to further create a safe,

In the article, "Candidate reveals other
side of ASI scandal," from our April 17 issue, we stated, "Accusations tying Weaver
to possible identity theft first arose after
the university suspected someone had

as an illegal use of student passwords.

A: I started playing softball
at age 8 or but prior to that,
I played baseball and made

Sleep is a topic overlooked
and is often compromised to
complete unfinished tasks
and engage in unnecessary
activities.
A survey conducted by the
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) states
that one-third of adults in the
United States report getting
inadequate amounts of sleep.
* The college population is
even more effected by sleep
deprivation, as portrayed in a
study at the University of St.
Thomas in Minnesota.
The study, which can be
found online in the "Journal
of Adolescent Health", reported that 70 percent of college students fail to get eight
hours of sleep per night.
Eight hours of sleep per
night is recommended for
adults and college students,
as reported by the CDC. This
recommendation increases
when your brain is utilized
more often; however, this
suggestion rarely becomes
reality.
During finals week, sleep
becomes more important;
however, sleep deprivation
is more common during this
period. Of the 1,125 students in the study, 20 percent
pulled all-nighters at least
once a week to keep up with
academic tasks.
Sleep deprivation presents
an abundance of problems.

STAFF W RI TER
The NBA playoffs are set
and are in full effect. After a
long, tumultuous labor disagreement to begin the season, the playoffs are finally
here with 16 teams taking
aim at the grandest prize in
the league.
In the western conference,
the number one seeded San
Antonio Spurs
began their run
to the finals with
a 106-91 victory
over
number
eight seed, Utah
Jazz. The number two seed in
the western conference belongs
to scoring champion Kevin
Durant and the Oklahoma
City Thunder, as they take on
the defending champion Dallas Mavericks. The Thunder
narrowly escaped the Mavs
on Saturday as Kevin Durant's last second heroics
propelled them to victory.
The Los Angeles Lakers
are the number three seed
and defeated the sixth seeded
Nuggets behind Andrew Bynum's record 10 blocks to
take a 1-0 series lead. Another Los Angeles team made
history this weekend when
the fifth seed Clippers erased
a 27 point deficit in a comeback for the ages to defeat
the fourth seeded Memphis
Grizzlies.
The Eastern Conference
side of the playoffs saw just
as much excitement and controversy as the West did. It
began with the number one
seeded Chicago Bulls beating the eight seeded 76ers
but ultimately losing something more valuable than
the game, when reigning
MVP Derrick Rose tore his
ACL late in game one ending the postseason for him.
Fourth seeded
Boston
Celtics were never
able to catch the
fifth seed Atlanta
Hawks v as they
were defeated
74-83.
The sixth seeded Orlando
Magic upset the three seeded
Indiana Pacers, surprisingly
defeated them 81-77 without
star player Dwight Howard
on the court as he is still out
with injury. Finally, LeBron
James and the Miami Heat
look to return to the finals
like they did in 2011 with
hopes of a different result
than what they were given
that year. They defeated the
New York Knicks, handedly
in a 100-67 rout with LeBron powering them with 32
points.

Last month, the Pride

expand support and welcome
students to daily events and

Since the first Pride Parade

the parade has traveled all
over the country, allowing
members of the LGBTQ
community and allies to exhibit their support. The annual parade is held in numerous regions to demonstrate.

"May 1 is an opportunity

On Thursday, April 26, authors Craig Santos Perez and

works for the final Community and World Literary Series event of the semester.
After being introduced by

before the audience and requested that everyone in

him, all of which he filmed
to post on his Facebook.
Before beginning his reading, Perez shared how he
moved from Guam to California when he was in high

"That's why poetry's so
important to me; it kind of
connects me to home," Perez
said.

CSUSM hosts first
cigarette butt cleanup
CURTI S BOVEE
STAFF W RI TER
On Friday, April 20, a group
of 41 student volunteers participated in CSUSM's first
cigarette butt cleanup, called
"Kick Butts off CSUSM."
Cigarette butts are a form
of non-biodegradable litter,
meaning that when they are
discarded, they stay around.
As a result, their presence is
seen in streets, drains, rivers,
beaches and the ocean, ultimately polluting the environment even further.
Students and faculty of the
Graduate School of Public
Health at SDSU developed
original methodology for
the cleanup event. This year
marks SDSU's 3rd annual
cigarette butt cleanup.
The event on CSUSM was
coordinated by Dr. Devan
Romero, assistant professor
of kinesiology at CSUSM,
and Vanessa Martinez, a senior kinesiology student at
CSUSM.
Each of the 41 volunteers
present collected cigarette
butts for one hour, with a
grand total of 5 38 9 cigarette
butts.
"These findings are astonishing as there is already a
group on campus that picks
up cigarette butts and other
campus litter each week and
we collected over five-thousand butts in only one hour,"
Romero said.
The purpose of the event,
according to Romero, is to:
. »Create
environmental
awareness of cigarette butt
litter as toxic waste.
•Create a partnership with
SDSU to advocate for smoke
free environments.
•Inform students of the
complex problem of cigarette butt waste from an en-
vironmental and behavioral
perspective.
According to the National
Institute of Health, by 2025,
an estimated 9 trillion cigarettes will be consumed
worldwide, while 1.69 billion pounds of butts will
wind up as litter worldwide
per year.
Romero hopes that her research will help to drastically
reduce these figures.
"My future research will
revolve around whether raising awareness of cigarette
butts as toxic waste and as
a detriment to the campus
environment changes litter
behavior, ultimately reducing it. Also, whether the impact of knowing the extreme
toxicity of cigarette smoking
to our environment's health
will motivate smoking cessation in the college population," Romero said.

S TAF F W R I T E R
It's finally here - graduation, summer, freedom, and
sleeping in. No more tests,
papers, equations, "What
i f... " questions, lectures,
and stress. For those who
have developed an addiction to coffee and/or other
sources of caffeine, services
are probably available to
help wean you off the stuff.
That is, unless you were accepted into a graduate-level
program of some sorts.
For me, I had too much
fun one semester, thus I have
to take a fifth year to get
my GPA back to a competitive standing. At first, I bemoaned this fate, but I eventually came to a powerful
and deeply comforting realization - the economy is still
in the dump. Unemployment
is still high and the most economically-seund plan at this
point is to stay in school as
c ougarchron . o pinion@ g ma il .com
T H E COUGAR CHRONICLE / M A Y I , 2 0 1 2
long as one can.
Suddenly, I was ecstatic
about my fate - a fifth year
at CSUSM seemed to be a
Godsend compared to struggling to find a j o b in the real
world. Continuing on into a
Master's or even a Doctorate
program isn't too shabby of
a plan either, as it will only
grant me access to more
skills and knowledge employers will find vital once
the job market improves.
So, whilst you all "lucky"
graduates are toiling under
the weight of real world bills
and real world unemployment, I and the other "unlucky" souls will be here
toiling under the stress of
midterms, finals, caffeine
addiction, papers, late-night
study sessions, and refrigerators fully stocked with all the
ale one can stand.
Good luck to you all, and
good riddance! Now get out
of here!

A graduation speech
K YL E M .JOHNSO N
S TAF F W R I T E R
Class of 2012:
Today, I feel that I am justified in using the phrase, "We
did it!" While it is cliché and
overused, the fact is that we
have graduated from college,
and for that we can be proud
of ourselves. We did it!
"It," however, is not just
the solitary act of graduating;
"it" refers to every individual
act that it took to get to this
point.
"It" is thè incredible
amount of hours spent in
the classroom, and the even
more incredible amount of
hours invested in schoolwork conducted at home, in
the library, in between work
shifts, everywhere imaginable.
"It" refers to the struggle to
find the necessary classes in
specific time slots to fit your
schedule.
"It" refers to the tuition
increases, which took place
even after you had already
paid off your semester fees.
"It" refers to paying seemingly ludicrous amounts for
a parking permit, even on
semesters when you only
attended class two days a
week.
"It" refers to overpriced
textbooks.
"It" refers to showing up
to class, only to realize that
you didn't check your email
where your professor reported that he or she wouldn't be
coming to class.
"It" refers to showing up
to class when the professor
didn't even send out an email
to say he or she wouldn't be
in class.
"It" refers to the fact that
attending a school built on
a hill requires the ascension
up countless flights of stairs
of varying length and steepness. (However, we now possess defined, youthful calves
to show for it.)
"It" refers to the dreaded
midterms, finals and exams, for all classes, which
all seemed to conveniently
take place during the same
respective week.
But, "it" was not all bad.
"It" was that sense of accomplishment as you witnessed your Academic Requirement Report gradually
filling up, semester after semester.
"It" was feeling touched by
a professor's desire for you
to learn.
"It" was that sense of understanding gained regarding
your purpose in the classroom.
"It" was those people
you met, grew close to and
endured alongside in the
classroom . "If ' was checking
your report card to find passing grades.
"It" was learning alternate
routes through campus to
avoid those asking, "Are you
registered to vote?" (By the
way, if you're not registered,
visit sos.ca.gov)
"It" was having a professor who posted on Cougar
Courses as many excerpts
from the textbooks as they
legally could.
"It" was all of these things;
a combination of moments
that contributed towards
your feelings of stress and
anxiety, but also accomplishment; feelings of doubt and
hesitancy, but also purpose.
And here we are, with
something to show for it,
something for which we can
be proud.
At the end of my junior
year, I wrote an essay for
myself, entitled, "The Best
Years of Someone Else's
Life." It chronicled my college experience up until
that point, and questioned
the frequent claim made by
some referring to college as
the best years of their life. I
hadn't felt that and I wondered why.
Was it because I spent three
years at a community college
before transferring? Was it
because I wasn't involved
in any clubs or fraternities?
Was it because I commuted

to school? Was it because
the school itself had been
labeled a commuter school?
All these questions and more
led to my further curiosity and I summed up the essay with the conclusion that
maybe what I needed was to
get involved; meet more people, attend school functions,
anything that could contribute towards the so-called
"college experience."
At the start of my senior
year, I began writing for the
student newspaper. It was
during my run as a volunteer staff writer for the paper
that I began to feel a sense of
purpose at school. I invested
more of my time into making deadlines than I invested
in my classwork. And somehow, my grades rose significantly. I felt productive for
the first time in a really long
time.
It made me feel good about
myself by instilling within
me a step towards finding out
why people call college "the
best years of their life." I began to imagine the potential
of the experience, had I began that kind of involvement
upon first entering campus . I
imagined it would've been a
drastically different experience.
If there is anyone reading
«Ms
this who is feeling discouraged from the college life for
any reason, I can confidently
say that you can find motivation in putting yourself out
there to tackle such and similar endeavors.
Motivation is a necessary
ingredient to pursue a college
degree. Without motivation,
you have no desire. Without
desire, you have apathy or
less. And with that, you cannot accomplish much.
You can apply that same
theory to life after college.
Whether it is in graduate
school, finding a job or taking the time to explore the
world around you, you must
be motivated.
This graduation, while it
has felt like a long time coming, is just the beginning.
Now we must set out into the
dark and scary world. But it
doesn't have to be ominous
and foreboding.
As a lover of film, I tend to
reference movies frequently.
So, I 'l l leave you with this
quote said by James Dean's
character in "Rebel without a
Cause:"
"Life can be beautiful."
Set out and do your best to
make it that. In us is the ability to conquer and restore the
world.

Letter to
the Editor
The article written by
Jessie Gambrell, [Should
CSUSM take César Chavez
Day off?,] was a great
piece that should be considered thoroughly by the
leadership at Cal State
San Marcos. I, as a student, was wondering why
we don't recognize Presidents Day. I am a veteran,
and I believe that our
founding fathers, such
as George Washington,
Thomas Jefferson, and
-even Abraham Lincoln,
all should be recognized
on Presidents Day. Once
again, [César] Chavez is
an inspirational activist
who should receive récognition-not overshadow
Presidents Day. This country was founded on principles, valués and courage
to break away from one
of the biggest monarchs
this world has ever seen.
CSUSM should recognize
Presidents Day for years
to come and appreciate
the freedoms that exist
today.

Are s tudent s incidentally "
"glorifying" Kony?
K o n y 2012 signs inundate our campus
JESSI E GAMBRELL
STAFF W RITER
On April 23, chalk and
signs were put up all over
campus essentially "glorifying" Kony. "Kony 2012"
the poster says, along with
a picture of Joseph Kony, a
war-lord from central Africa.
This signs were first made
to promote the short film,
"Kony 2012" from the makers of "The Invisible Children," a different short film
documentary that shows the
cruel world of children being
abducted by Joseph Kony to
become soldiers in his army.
This film was a huge hit and
had a huge following.
"Their original documentaries were great, I just don't
know what this (Kony 2012)
does. I have heard that it is
a scam," said student, Tyler
Allred.
The documentary, "Kony
2012" depicts how the Invisible Children organization
intends to capture and get rid
of Kony. The signs and other
propaganda are a means to
raise money f o r "the cause"
of "capturing" Kony at last.
But there has been much
speculation as to where exactly all this money is going.
"I kind of think that it
[Kony 2012] is a scam. The
money, where does it go? I
don't know what is going t o
do for us catching him," said
freshman, Ryan Vaickus.
One of the three film makers of "Kony 2012," Jason
Russell, was discovered,
Thursday, March 15, oh a
street corner in downtown
San Diego, naked and having an alleged "meltdown"
in public. He was arrested
and is being treated medically for the incident. This
among other "sketchy" instances give reason to doubt
the validity of the Invisible
Children organization. But
this incident also helped the
"Invisible Children" and
"Kony 2012" videos become
more viral, since everyone
wanted to know everything
involved with the scandal.
"I heard it was the most viral video, it seems like a big
"trendy" topic. The writing
all over the school though,
definitely, made me more annoyed with it," said CSUSM
staff member, Nick.
The signs all over campus,
I believe, were at first well
intended, but now it seems to
have "over-run" the school
and that we are getting away
from the whole point that
they seem to be striving to be
making. Some of the chalk
on our school grounds even
says, "Kony - 2012. Make
him famous!" I am not sure
who wrote these or if they
are even affiliated with the
Kony 2012 team, but this I
do believe is not what they
meant to say. We do not want
to "glorify" someone who is
a mass-murderer and communist and by saying, "make
him famous" no matter how
they meant it, is glorifying
him. Uninformed students
might support who they believe to be a good person
for the sake of our misleading public media. I hope that
we can see and realize that
something has gone wrong
and we need to change this.

Students raise money to keep
art in S a n D ieg o classrooms

S TAF F W R I TE R
Instead of spending their
Friday night enjoying a movie or out with friends, the
students of VPA 380-17 attempted to keep art alive.
"It was amazing that everyone worked together and the
event turned out to be a big
success," participant Brenton
Lake said.
Starting on Friday, April
20 and ending April 21, the
CSUSM students of "Art and
Social Change" organized,
hosted and curated a student
run art show themed "Keep
Art Alive," where works of
art provided by students from
High Tech were auctioned
off to the highest bidder.
"I'm amazed with the
amount of money we raised.
I think for sure, that was our
biggest accomplishment,"
participant Tiffany Jackman
said.
By the end of the event, the
class had auctioned off all 26
student art pieces and raised
just over $800 to be donated to the CSUSM based
CenterARTES organization
which is headed by Dr. Merry1 Goldberg and supports
and encourages arts education and arts advocacy in San
Diego County schools and
communities.
The "Keep Art Alive" event had a live band, several raffles, free food and several different types of student artwork. Students and parents from High Tech High and CSUSM, San Marcos community members and even Jim Eubank, the original founder of Restaurant
Row, came out to donate and support the event. Photos by Morgan Hall.
Planning began late February with the help of Marilyn
Huerta when the CSUSM
art galley in Restaurant Row
had an open space to display
student work. After guidance
from their professor Kristen Moss, the class decided
to partner with a group of
art students from High Tech
High to display and auction off their artwork. Planning took place during the
Tuesday and Thursday class
meetings and on the Cougar
Courses forums.
"I think it was pretty ambitious of our class to plan an
art gallery event and work
with teen art students outside
of class, while still juggling
homework and [our] personal lives," participant Laura
Musgrove said.
To make sure that each
member of the class could
contribute to the event, the
students formed several different committees, which
had a select group traveling

T a p 5 movies for the
recent college graduat e
KYLE M.JOHNSON
STAFF WRITER
1 ."Reality Bites" (1994): While it is often marketed as a romantic-comedy, thisfilmfollows
aspiring documentarian Lelaina (Winona Ryder), as she seeks to make meaning of her postgraduate life with the help of her friends and roommates . With an honest plot and a great supporting cast (Ethan Hawke, Ben Stiller and Janeane Garofalo), "Reality Bites" stands as one
of the most important films of the 90s.
2."The Graduate" (1967): Considered incredibly risqué at the time of its release, this classic
stars Dustin Hoffman as Benjamin Braddock, a recent college graduate with no idea what to
do with his life. Ignoring the pressure from his parents to take his future more seriously, Benjamin spends hisfreetime having an affair with the middle-aged Mrs. Robinson, and lounging
in the pool. When Mrs. Robinson's daughter comes to town, and Benjamin is encouraged to
date her, things get more complicated than they already are.
In her autobiography, "Girl
Walks into a Bar..."author
Rachel Dratch offers an entertaining and humorous read
to enjoy during free time or
over the summer.
Many memoirs nowadays
usually include some sort of
scandal being exposed about
their childhood or a rough
time in that individual's life.
However, Dratch's book
includes universal situations such as dating and her
"midlife miracle," a recount
of her experience being pregnant at forty years old.
A regular performer on
"Saturday Night Live"
from 1999 to 2006, Dratch
played recurring characters
like "Debbie Downer" and
to High Tech High to work
with the students one-Qn-one
and give advice on student
artwork, ideas and concepts.
"Knowing that all of their
work was bought is really
going to make them feel
great and physically see the
importance of art," participant Kevin O'Neil said.
The money ràised will be
formally presented to Dr.
Goldberg before the end of
the semester.
In "Girl Walks into a
Bar..." Dratch proves that
even though her personal
life has gone through many
changes, she still is able
to entertain years after her
"SNL" days.
3."Into the Wild" (2007): This film tells the true story of Christopher McCandless, a recent
college graduate who donates his savings, abandons his car and destroys his identification before venturing out to hitchhike across the United States towards his ultimate goal of isolation
in the Alaskan wildlife, away from society. The lives he touches and the beauty he explores
contribute towards an incredible journey with a devastatingly, tragic ending.
4. "With Honors" (1994): While the graduation doesn't come until the ending, this film is a
notable one for recent college graduates. Brendan Fraser stars as Monty, a Harvard undergrad
whose thesis makes its way into the hands of local homeless man, Simon (Joe Pesci). A deal
is made: for every favor Monty performs for Simon, he can have one page of his thesis back.
What follows is a mentor-pupil relationship between the two, which promises life lessons and
profound wisdom.
5."St. Elmo's Fire" (1985): Featuring many members of the 1980s' "Brat Pack," this film
tells the story of a group bf friends who struggle with their friendships, romantic relationships
and futures following college. While the acting is at times melodramatic, the themes are sincere and the relationships are honest, providing an array of characters with which to identify.

The CSUSM men's basketball team will be heading
to Kansas City to compete
in the National Associates

(NAIA) Division I Championship tournament as the
number one seed.
Led by head coach Jim

CSUSM defeated life in

with exceptional contribution from the entire team.
The Cougars shot for 50 percent from thefield,44.8 percent from three-point land

Malcolm Lemmons said,
"Our camaraderie; we're a
close knit group on and off
the court."
Lemmons contributed a
double-double in the final
game.
"I do anything I can to help
the team win. If coach needs
me to rebound or play defense, I do anything I can to
meet our goal," he said.
"It's nice tofinallysee the
hard work is actually paying off. We made a name for
ourselves the first year, got
ranked the second and getting ranked number one this
year; it feels good," three-
year veteran, Brian Emmanuel, said.
The Cougars are headed for
a week of a challenge with
the tournament being filled
with the nation's best players
at the small collegiate level.
Thirty-two teams are slated
to compete for the NAIA Division I Championship title
through March 25.
CSUSM's number one
ranking leaves the rest of
the league anticipating some
great competition.
"It's a great feeling, but we
know rankings don't mean
anything when going into the
tournament and every team's
going to be gunning for us,
so it's like we got a c)iip on
our shoulder," Lemmons
said. "We just have to go in
there and play hard and take
it day by day."
When asked if there were
any specific teams to look
out for, Emmanuel said there
was not.
The Cougars' selfless offense and defensive prowess
gives the team a well-deserved confidence going into
the tournament.
CSUSM Cougars are set
to play the thirty-second
seed, Oklahoma Baptist, on
Wednesday, March 19 in
round one of the NAIA Division I tournament.

P resident c alls f or i ncrease in f ederal m inimum wage by 2016
By R YAN D O W N S
SENIOR STAFF W RITER
Students may be seeing a
change in their federal and
state based pay checks.
Making minimum wage —
It's arguably one of the most
important things in the life
of a student. For many, it's
what keeps them busy while
they're in school. For many
others, it's the very thing
keeping them in school while
countless individuals rely on
it keeping them alive. The
minimum hourly wage that
businesses are required to pay
employees is a matter of economic importance not just for
San Marcos, but for students
everywhere and it may face
some large changes in the
coming months.
The issue of minimum
wage became a talking point
recently, after a report by the
Congressional Budget Office
elaborated on a plan by the
President to raise the nationwide minimum wage from
$7.25 an hour to $10.10, tentatively by the year 2016. It's
not too difficult to see why. In
the last 14 years, the costs of
education, gasoline, healthcare and living have all skyrocketed, whereas the wage
has remained in a fixed position.
Naturally, this affects many
individuals in the labor force,
but not necessarily in a positive way. According to the
CBO, while the wage in-
crease could make lives easier for upwards of 16 million
'Americans, it is also slated to
cost approximately 500,000
workers their jobs. In other
words, the act would actually
increase unemployment, the
boon being that the already
employed would make more
money. This comes as a result of companies making less
money when customers are
less willing to spend on products that will be more expensive to pay for the workers.
However, the President
remains optimistic, having
acted as the primary force
behind the bill since its inception. While the measure is
expected to pass the primarily
left-wing Senate in March, its

odds of surviving the more
right-wing House are decidedly less hopeful; with many
representatives pointing out
the rather harsh increase in
unemployment.
It's a fair comparison, while
alleviating the effects of the
recession on the more vulner-
N
30Ô3- 2008
able in our society, the initiative could very well make the
recession worse. Some economists beg to differ, like Pension Chairman Tom Harkin,
who stated "workers benefit
from modest increases in the
minimum wage without negative consequences for the low-
wage job market," reminding
individuals that an increase
in revenue and circulation
could very well increase job
potential, cancelling out the
increase in unemployment.
Still, the benefits to those
suffering in the labor force are
undeniable and the increase in
circulation could very well allow the creation of new jobs.
Ultimately, the fate of the
measure depends on its standing in Congress at this point,
which remains to be seen.
California's minimum wage
is itself scheduled to increase
with from $8 to $10 in the
course of three years due to a
biU passed Sept. 12, 2013. It
will increase $1 increments
instead of in one wage hike.

Game of golf holds lessons for business
3
Dr. Ed Balian knows the importance of a good mental game
B Y JUSTIN D ONNER
SPORTS EDITOR
Mastering the difficult
game of golf can offer a
large advantage in the world
of business, but becoming
aware of the mental side of it
can provide an even greater
one.
There is arguably no other
sport that is more closely related to business than golf.
The relatedness of business
to golf spans from companies sponsoring professional
tournaments, such as the local Farmers Insurance Open
of Torrey Pines, to major
business decisions and negotiations being done on the
course.

CSUSM's business professor, Dr. Edward Balian, is a
seasoned vet in the world of
business and is the author of
Buddha Plays 18. His book
takes an innovative approach
to teaching the overlooked
skill of being mentally sound
while playing golf.
For business professionals,
golf can be a valuable tool.
You learn so much about
your business partners and
clients by playing golf with
them. The game reveals values, ethics and reaction to
stress. Acts of courtesy are
demonstrated by pulling the
pin at the hole, shooting in
the correct order and a proper attitude while in the lead.
According to Dr. Balian,

Nestled at the end of Point
Loma, Cabrillo National
Monument and the many
great trails that surround it
offer terrific views of San
Diego Bay and the Pacific
Ocean.
This national park, which
is the only one in San Diego
County, has two levels to explore for some fun and exercise in the outdoors.
The top level of the park
includes the visitors' center
and the lighthouse. The bay
side trail is a 2.5 mile round
trip hike that starts at the Old
Point Loma Lighthouse and,
not surprisingly, weaves its
way along the bay side of the
park. From this trail, visitors
can pass by old clues to Point
Loma's role and existence
during WWI and WWII. The
journey is filled with sweeping views of the beautiful
harbor and Coronado Island.

that you're, working on your

be more productive than trying to play. If you do have a
bad game, make sure to carry your sense of humor with
you.
"Your behavior during the

Under the stress of the challenge your focus went up and

How business professionals react to the highs and lows
of golf can be synonymous
with how they would in life.
Staying calm and getting out

more to see down at the tide

reached by a narrow road
that turns offrightby the entrance to the park. From three
different parking lots, hikers

Probiotics, also known as
"good" bacteria, are live microorganisms that inhabit our
bodies naturally.
They have become of popular interest recently because
of the supposed health benefits.
Although the FDA has not
yet approved any of its health
claims, probiotics are used to
help with certain health conditions, especially with the
digestive health of our gastrointestinal tracts.
The body, especially *he

to many different species of

Traveling through Europe
B Y EMMA GRACE FAIRCHILD
STUDY A BROAD C OLUMNIST
One of the first things I
noticed upon my arrival in
Stockholm was the trend that
everyone I spoke with had
previously done a lot of traveling.
While it seemed most of
it was contained within Europe, there were also many
people who frequent parts
of Africa, the Middle East
or Southeast Asia. At first
I was intimidated by the
worldliness of so many of
my peers. Then I considered the span of states I have
covered in the US and how
new friends here would press
me about the differences between them. Now, instead of
shame for never having left
the country before this experience, I feel contented that I
have been to eight states and
explored a great deal of California (which is large enough
on its own).
But since I have settled in
Scandinavia, I realize the
proximity of so many unique
cultures, languages and landscapes. There are affordable-flights (less than $75
for round trips sometimes),
boats for cruises to several neighboring countries
and comfortable, affordable
trains as well. Weekends between exams are notorious
for "booze cruises." The al-
Map of Europefrommappinet.com
cohol is cheap and duty free,
and you spend a day in Estonia, Latvia or Finland.
Personally, I have already
spent four days in England
and have a five day trip to
Poland in the works. The decision to go to England was
easy. I have a friend who
lives outside of London that
I really wanted to see (and
who I could stay with for
free). I flew into Gatwick
airport in London. With a bit
of help from the aforementioned friend, I bought train
tickets in advance, which
would deposit me in her
country suburb. Evenlhough
Sweden is, fairly easy to get
around as an English speaking traveler, it was a relief to
see every sign and hear every
announcement in my native
language in England. I ended up spending a three day
weekend playing around the
country side with my friend
and her three dogs, getting
rained on and experiencing
parts of local culture. I tried
traditional 'tea for two' in a
garden restaurant (amazing)
and atefishand chips out of
butcher paper (also amazing).
On my last day, I was able
to spend several hours exploring London itself before
myflightback to Stockholm,
which was a great experience. I chose two places-prior to my arrival and simply
explored, with no destination
or plan. Camden Market was
an interesting experience. I
found it to be a big-city version of Venice Beach, without the body builders. I had a
wonderful time overall, and
can't wait to go back and do
all of the touristy things London has to offer- Big Ben, the
London Bridge, etc. And the
flight was only two hours.
I'm really looking forward
to my trip to Poland. I am going with afriendfrom school
this time, so all of the costs
can be shared and experiences had together. After that, a
cruise to Tallinn in Estonia is
definitely in order, and maybe a trip to the other side of
Sweden to see Gothenburg.
Ultimately, living in the
states gives me proximity to
see other parts of the states,
and living in Europe gives
me the opportunity to see
more diverse and historical
parts of the world.
Provencio said. "It has so
much to offer to clients and
students, but the USU is just
a whole different process.
We have not discovered what
we can do there yet, while at
the Clarke we have had it for
years and know its capacity."
Provencio and Nagel both
work underneath Megan
Simpson, the Professional
Events Planner for the USU
who also works for Events
and Conference Services.
They work to represent the
Events office, Clarke and
Union well through their
hard work and networking
with various individuals and
groups on campus.
"I know a lot of students
involved in various organizations, so it is easier for
me to contact people for
specifics and events. I build
relationships amongst professional staff as well, and
when events happen I introduce myself," Nagel said.
"My name is being presented
in that area, so when people
come in they know who is
running the events within
the building and who they
can ask when they need
things. With the student staff
I supervise, it has helped me
build relationships with people and delegate work. I try
to make their shift as enjoyable as possible since they do
a lot of hard work."
"This job is so socially involved with students, staff
and faculty that you just
meet so many different people. They start to recognize
you on campus and it is good
to build positive relationships with clients because
you work with them multiple times," Provencio said.
"A lot has been expected of
me and I am glad that 1 have
been able to fulfill expectations and to be a good face of
the Union."
Provencio and Nagel strive
for careers in the business
field after graduating from
college. Nagel plans to apply
for a professional management position at the USU at
the end of the semester, when
she graduates with a degree
in business entrepreneurship. She aims to open her
own business in the future.
Provencio aims to secure an
events planning position for
a city or large corporation.
She hopes to eventually orchestrate events that draw
large crowds of people, like
the New York City ball drop
on New Year's Eve or the
Pasadena Rose Parade.

Improper shoes hurt far more than just feet and legs when worn regularly
Recent headlines have
sparked much controversy
in and outside of Hollywood
for the February x issue of
NYT.com, in which Dylan
Farrow's letter addressed
Woody Allen.
The commentaries following the letter lends support to
Farrow, and many of those
commentaries described
similar experiences of sexual abuse without the Hollywood light. I could not help
but ponder the thought of
how we could come to prove
accusations of child abuse?
As a Mexican woman who

abuse at the age of seven, I
can attest to the experience
where, based on the lack of
evidence that victims are
sometimes unable to provide,
we are questioned whether
the alleged sexual abuse occurred. Alleged; interesting
word. I cannot think of reasons why a seven year old
would happen to give such a
vivid story of the abuse and
still be questioned. Now, I
do understand that as a society we live under the Rule
of Law, and we are to always
be viewed innocent until
proven guilty. What about if
you cannot prove the guilt?
It is a controversial subject,
especially when concerning
children.
For Farrow's disdain, there
is no form of evidence that
provided enough proof. Then
there is the psychological effect of child abuse that arises

O PINION EDITOR
It goes without saying
that foot fashion at CSUSM
comes in multitudes, but
have students considered
how their shoes may be affecting their health?
With the amount of walking CSUSM students do
across campus, it is wise for
them to consider how issues
with their shoes and feet can
contribute to joint issues as
well as hip and back pain.
Shoes with even the slightest
heel can affect the way men
and women walk.
Heeled shoes cause feet
to point in a downward position, putting unnecessary
pressure on the forefoot.
When pressure is placed on
the forefoot, people tend to
lean backward, contradicting
the lower half of the body's
inclined, forward position.
Heals also cause abnormalities in the way people walk
as it limits the foot's natural
function to push against the
ground when stepping.
These walking irregularities have a critical impact on
a person's posture, causing
their spine to flatten: contradicting the spine's natural
s-curvature. Stresses to the
spine further displace the
body's hips by putting too
much pressure on the lower
back. Chronic overuse of the
hip-flexors then leads to excessive force on knee joints.
To alleviate some of the excess pressure on the knees,
the body tends to react by
adjusting the shin inward.
Aside from daily discomfort, continual unnatural
walking habits can even lead
to osteoarthritis in joints. In
all honesty, barefoot is the
best and most natural way to
go. However, due to health
and comfort concerns, many
students are not open to the
idea of going barefoot. If that
is the case, it is imperative
that students begin to look at
what kind of shoes they are
wearing in order-to prevent
long term issues with back,
hip and knee abnormalities.
It is best to avoid or limit
use of heeled and pointed
shoes as well as flip-flops;
pointed shoes and flip-flops
can cause abnormalities in
toe grip, displacing natural
foot rhythms. Instead, students should take the time
to consider shoes that are
comfortable and that aid in
stabilizing the foot before

Master."

i>ept. 11, but the dark cloud
over our nation and its people will reign for generations
to come.
"It was a very enlightening film which lifted the veil
of current events that most
Americans are oblivious to.
Speaking for myself, I was
unaware that we were still
at war with Afghanistan
and the imagery produced
from watching the film was
very heart wrenching and
has made me curious as to
why media only covers 'two
percent' of this war," Lana
Cook, film screening attendee, said.
A fellow student and Veteran who attended the screening was not willing to share
his perspective of the film
because of the hardship that
he encountered by watching
thefilm.The content truly hit
home, and touches on issues
that spark emotions that run
deep.
As soldiers return home
and are slowly discharged
from service due to government budget cutbacks, they
are left to society and their
families to work through
the horrors that were experienced in the name of protecting and defending a country
that appears tcv have forgotten about them. Our military counts every soldier as a
body. When that body is unfit to fulfill its purpose, it is
disregarded in a manner that
is of the smallest expense to
government funding as possible, in hopes of saving the
taxpayers' dollars. Yet in the
long run, this is costing society and the Department of
Veterans Affairs far more in
expenses for being proactive
infindingthese people help.
"I am aware that the war in
Afghanistan is still going on

even though our media acts
like it is over. I get my information from a news page
on Facebook that I follow,
and through word of mouth
when I discuss recent news
with friends and family. I
do not know why the troops
are there. My guess is that
they are keeping a watch
on Al-Qaeda to make sure
they do not attack the U.S.
again," an Events Assistant
at the Clarke and the University Student Union, Gabri
Provencio, said.
"Sequestration and budget
pressures continue to place
unacceptable pressure on
our Army, its soldiers, families and civilian employees.
Military retirement and retiree health care programs are
under attack by those who
view the programs as 'overly
generous' and programs affecting the Army's ability to
train and equip its forces are
whittled away," according to
the Association of the United
States Army (AUSA) News
membership report for 2014.
There is so much to the story still untold. The average
civilian will never have the
capacity to fully understand.
There is no true way of describing the full experience
of tragedy that is suffered by
a soldier or sailor that joined
the service to defend the
rights of his or her people to
find out that their sacrifices
were ignored.
'Far From Afghanistan'
is a film that should not be
missed. This act of humanitarianism does not end with
just the film. Various organizations work with the developers of thefilmto create
public awareness. For more

Campus leaders look over its
passage, Senator Craven issue
By Roman S. Koenig
No amount of protests against Proposition 187 could stop its passage by voters
Nov. 8.
As of last week, statewide voter support of the initiative was 63 percent, with 37
percent voting no, according to^newspaper reports. Protests against t he measure
were intense state-wide, including a protest march that occurred in San Marcos Nov.
2. The march started at Palomar College and made stops at Cal State San Marcos and
the San Marcos city hall. One protester was injured when she was hit by a car, and
a bystander stopped an American flag from being burned.
The issue caught fire at the same time as a controversy concerning reported
comments by state Sen. William Craven (R-Oceanside) occurred at CSUSM, in which
the San Diego Union-Tribune quoted the senator as saying t hat Latinos should carry
identification cards to prove citizenship. Incumbent Craven won his seat again Nov.
8, receiving 64 percent of t he vote according to the office of the San Diego County
Registrar of Voters.
Now t hat the initiative has passed, and now that Craven will continue to serve his
local district, CSUSM leaders are looking to the future.
"It's like crying over spilled milk. It's done, and I can't change the will of the
See PASSAGE, page 2
Students from across north San Diego County attended an anti-Proposition 187 protest before the
election. The procession began at Palomar College, and from there marched to San Marcos City
Hall and then to Cal State San Marcos. The protest, like many others like it across the state, did
not sway voters from supporting the measure.

C SUSM student government election produces dismal returns
Associated Students (AS) President Michelle Sadova expressed disappointment
over voting figures for an on-campus special election held Oct. 17 and 18, in which
only 5 percent of the eligible student population cast ballots.
"It does alarm me," she said Nov. 15. "We're such a small campus you'd think it
would matter more.... It's just apathy. That's the bottom line."
Figures released by the Student Activities Office showed t hat for the College of
Arts and Sciences, out of 1,672 eligible voters only 86 voted — 5 percent, according
to Gezai Berhane, student activities adviser. For the College of Business Administration, 6 percent of eligible voters (37) turned out for the election out of 615 total.
For post-baccalaureate students, 16 percent voted — six voters out of 41 who were
eligible. For the College of Education, only one student voted out of 347 eligible
voters, .3 percent.
"That was disastrous," said Berhane concerning the low figure. The 5 percent
across-the-board turnout is "not bad compared to some other institutions where
they have a turnout of 2 or 3 percent," however.
Sadova said it bothered her t hat students often come to the AS to talk about
campus issues but never vote when given the chance. She said that pressing course
work could be a reason for the low number of voters, however.
"I think ofcourse we could do more," Sadova said o fthe AS's efforts to get the word
out to vote. Currently, the AS is working with campus officials to erect a central
posting area where information can be more easily obtained. The AS recently
installed a posting area in the Commons building study lounge, she said.
"These things are happening," she added. "It just takes time" to get momentum
going to t he projects done.
In t he election, Kris Cristensen and Edward Calvillo were elected to serve as postbaccalaureate representatives to the AS council. Kimberly Ambriz was elected as
undergraduate representative. A vote to ratify AS bylaws also passed 89 percent to
11 percent.

"The passage of Proposition
187 is an attempt to shift the blame
of an economic recession onto t he
backs of immigrant workers, specifically L atino i mmigrants,"
added Dr. Marcos Martinez, a visual and performing a rts faculty
member. "(It) reflects an attempt
to create an available target for
frustration and anger among t he
population of California and to
compound confusion about how
our economy functions. ... The

and racism towards Latinos in

Mexican workers last week i n

white male. If people choose to
h ate t hat will have its consequences."
Associated Students (AS) President Michelle Sadova said she believed the vote in support ofProposition ,187 indicated the inability
of people to adequately address
t he problems of immigration.
"I was, and am, against Proposition 187 because it enforces t he
idea t hat there is a segment of our
population which is not entitled

whether you agree or disagree t hat
education is a basic human right,
t he underlining issue is t hat of
rights," she said. "Our narcissistic tendencies will casually undermine the rights of others, and voting for Proposition 187 did j ust
this. What will happen from here?
I can't say, and (I) try not to specu-
late. I tend to think t hat it will
only cause more tension than ever
before as well as a separation of
t he races."
As for t he issue of removing
Sen. Craven's name from the campus building t hat bears i t, opinions are still split. In fact, the
Associated Students council reversed a previous decision on the
issue Nov. 11. Originally, the council voted not to support the Academic Senate's call for his name's
removal, b ut they chose to support t he Academic Senate in a 5-3
vote a fter a number of students
asked t hat t he issue be looked at
again, explained AS President
Sadova.
University President Stacy said
his support of Craven has not
changed, however.
"Nothing's changed. It continues to be a m atter t hat has been
very punishing to the people on
campus and to t he senator," he
said. "We have a great deal of pain
flowing. ... It seemed to me that
t he proposed cure was out of sync
with t he problem." The University Council, a body made up of
local community members that
acts in lieu of t he CSU Board of
Trustees, voted to support Craven as well, according to Stacy.
"It is u nfortunate t hat one of
our (CSUSM's) staunchest supporters in Sacramento and a pillar of this community would say
something t hat could so easily be
interpreted as blatantly racist,"
countered Martinez. "After these
statements were made I am left
with t he impression t hat he does
not w ant t o r epresent Latino
people in his district."

Students get intense during
first Spanish weekend
Immigration conference Friday
The Center for Multicultural Studies at Cal State San Marcos
is sponsoring a two-day immigration conference Friday and
Saturday (Nov. 18 and 19) entitled "Immigration: The Panic and
the Promise in the United States and Mexico."
The conference will focus on the sweeping changes that are
transforming the social geography of North America, with particular emphasis on the United States-Mexico border region.
Conference participants will present and discuss their research
in pairs — one scholar will focus on Mexico, the other on the
United States. This parallel format is intended to reflect the
parallel interaction that occurs with international migration.
Noted American and Mexican scholars will address such
general themes as growth and crisis in Mexico and the United
States, immigration and emigration, and the transformation of
local economies and communities. Specific topics include "Immigrants as Benefactors and Scapegoats in California's Cycles of
Growth," "The Changing Context ofMexican Immigration to the
United States," "NAFTA and Mexican Migration to the United
States," "Immigrants in High Tech Economy: an Ethnographic
Study of a Mexican Enclave in San Jose" and "Americans View
Their Immigration: Past, Present and Future." All papers submitted at the conference will appear in a bilingual collection to be
published in early 1995.
Also included in the conference is an art exhibit and entertainment by a Mexteco-Zapoteca dance group.
The conference is open to the public. Fees range from $2 for
students to $15 for general admission. Fee waivers are available
for non-profit community service organizations. For registration
forms or further information, call 752-4017.
Curry teaches women's film course
Winter session at Cal State San
Marcos begins J an. 3. The winter
session is a three-week academic program held between t he fall and spring
semesters which provides students an
additional^ opportunity to complete
degree requirements and gives members of the community who are not
enrolled in the university the opportunity to take credit classes.
One of the courses, women before
and behind the camera, a highly-regarded course taught by Dr. Renee
Dr. Renee Curry
Curry, is being offered for the first
time to the public at large on a non-credit basis. Members of the
general public can join students enrolled in the class, view a
dozen great films, and participate fully in the discussions and
activities without being required to complete any assignments.
The course will be divided into two units: "Women Stars and the
Star System in Hollywood" and "International Women Directors." The class will meet Tuesday through Friday from 6 to 9:50
p.m. during the three-week session. The total cost for the noncredit series will be $150.
Among the 27 classes being offered are computer masteiy,
criminology, postmodern film & fiction, renaissance literatures,
aging & society and introduction to women's studies. These
offerings are in addition to general courses in business administration and education.
The registration fee for credit courses is $105 per unit.
Parking and student fees are an additional $27. Registration for
all courses will take place Dec. 5-9.
For more information on Curry's class call 752-4038. For
additional information on credit classes call 752-4051.

Twenty participants took part
in the first Intensive Spanish
Weekend recently hosted by the
Cal State San Marcos College of
Arts & Sciences/Program in Foreign Languages under the direction of professors Dr. Francisco
Martin and Dr. Darci Strother.
The objective of the weekend
was to provide participants with
an affordable opportunity to learn
and experience Spanish full-time
for the duration of the weekend.
From the time participants arrived on Friday to the time they
left on Sunday, they were expected
to speak only Spanish.
Unlike similar programs, this
program was held locally at the
San Clemente Youth Hostel,
thereby eliminating costly travel
time and expenses. The accommodations included two large
sleeping areas with bunk beds
along with large dining and living
: areas*, The cost of the weekend
was $60, which included meals
and accommodations.
Activities of the weekend included music, dancing, games, discussion groups, Spanish workshops and participant presentations. At the San Clemente beach,
frisbee, a water balloon catch and
other activities were held along
with a bonfire and shish kebab.
Participants also hat the option to
attend Spanish mass at a local
church.

Students involved in Cal State San Marcos's first Intensive Spanish Weekend
participate in a balloon toss at San Clemente beach.
Students who took part in the
weekend gave special recognition
to Martin and Strother for the
success of the program.
"The intensive Spanish weekend was fantastic," noted student
Patricia Hubbs. "Professor Martin and Professor Strother were
extremely well-organized and
worked very hard. There was a
wonderful combination of work
and play."
"Professor Martin and Professor Strother did an outstanding
job," added Cheryl Viertel, another
participant. "Not only was the
weekend highly organized and tremendously helpful with my com-
munication skills, it wasjust plain
fun."
Each participant received a
certificate of completion from the
professors at the end of the weekend.
"The weekend was great. We
all had fun cooking, playing games
and working together," said Cori
Gustine. "I learned a lot and look
forward to the next one."
More Intensive Spanish Weekends are planned for next semester, but space is limited. Those
interested can call the Office of
Community Education at 7524018.
System-wide enrollment encouraging
California State University
(CSU) officials have expressed
optimism that they can come close
to meeting their goal ofincreasing
enrollment by 2,500 full-time
equivalent students (FTES) for
the year, after fall figures showed
a stabilization of the system's enrollment picture for thefirsttime
since massive budget reductions
began in 1991.
Overall, total enrollment for
t he system stands at 319,394,
down from 325,639 (1.9 percent)
in fall 1993. Total FTES for the
system stands at 244,812, down
from 247,513 (1.1 percent) last
fall. The major portion of the decline — over 70 percent — occurred at Cal State Northridge,
which is still attempting to recover from January's devastating
e arthquake. Fall FTES, with
Northridge excluded, is down by
802 (.3 percent).
"Although enrollment is down
very slightly, the patterns of enrollment reveal a healthier bal-
ance between enteringand graduating classes. We expect CSU campuses will be in a strong position
for spring admissions," said Executive Vice Chancellor Molly
Corbett Broad.
Several campuses showed notable increases over fall 1993: San
Francisco State (up 507 FTES),
Cal State Los Angeles (up 456
FTES), San Diego State (up 400
FTES) and Cal State San Marcos
(up 314 FTES).
Particularly good news in the
enrollment picture is t hat for the
first time since fall 1988, the CSU
system enrolled a first-time freshmen class that was larger than the
previous fall's. The fall 1994 CSU
first-time freshman class should
finalize its count at j ust over
25,000, some 2,000 to 3,000 more
students than fall 1993 figures.
This year 43,000 s tudents
graduated in the spring and summer (representing approximately
14 percent of all the students enrolled last spring). This is the largest percentage of spring semester
students to graduate in some time,
and more than campuses had originally anticipated. This made room
to open CSU doors to more Californians for fall 1994. In addition
to the increase in first-time freshmen, just under 37,000 new undergraduate transfers enrolled,
some 1,000 more than in fall 1993.
"We have accomplished our
goals for readjusting enrollment
in light of the drastic budget cuts
we sustained and are now recovering our momentum," added
Broad. "We are optimistic about
our ability to serve qualified applicants to the CSU. We are offering more classes and students are
responding and graduating. That
should signal good news for potential students, their families and
ultimately the state's employers,
since the CSU is the major provider of the state's college-educated work force."

national women's sorority) were officially
pledged into the national organization Nov.
5. On campus, t he members were formerly
known as Key College Opportunities.
Collegiate members from the Alpha Xi

Each year hundreds of articles are written expressing t he seriousness and the reality of job availability to college graduates,
such as "Just How Welcome is the Job
Market to College Grads?" in BusinessWeek
magazine (Koretz, Nov. 9,1992) or "More
College Graduates Maybe Chasing Fewer
Jobs" in the Occupational Outlook Quarterly (Shelley, summer 1992).
These articles help validate the fact t hat
having a degree does not guarantee employment. So what can you do to increase
your chances for success in the job search
process?
Many college students think about their
ideal job, but only a few students know how
to successfully look for one. Listed below
are a few helpful hints for obtaining t hat
ideal job.
•Begin your job search three to six
months in sfdvance or up to 12 months for
government jobs.
• Know yourself and your options. How
does your education and/or experience
qualify you for t he job?
•Know what is important to you, like
the type of work, your responsibilities, the
work environment, your title, money, security, work schedule, advancement, opportunities, interaction with others, etc.
• Do your homework. How much do you
know about t he position and/or the company where you are applying? Find out as
much as possible through research and
networking.
• Know your resources to find a job. The
Career Center, library, publications, or
networking with faculty, professors, family
and friends are options.
• Prepare your paperwork. Create a targeted resumS, cover letter, portfolio and
contact references.
Many of t he above suggestions seem
r ather simple, but they can prove to be
helpful. To improve on your success in
finding ajob, stop by t he Career Center and
talk to one of t he counselors. The Career
Center is a valuable resource and services
are free to enrolled students. Check it out
today.

philanthropy is "Choose Children." The

The purpose of this colony is to promote

Campo landfill isn't the
The system still works answer
With all of its problems, I was nonetheless reassured this November 8 t hat
our governmental system is still of, by
and for the people.
In 1992, the voters elected Bill Clinton
president, on t he promise t hat he would
bring change. Two years later, after
realizing t hat his was not t he kind of
change they wanted, t he people then
overhauled t he Congress, whose House
had been Democrat occupied since 1954,
and whose Senate had been controlled
by said party for 48 of t he last 60 years.
This time around, t he voters wanted
change from t he long-time one party
domination, so they went out and got it;
and in doing so, they took some pretty
big names down with them: potential
Democratic Senate leader Jim Sasser,
governors M ario Cuomo a nd Ann
Richards, House Speaker Tom Foley,
former Ways and Means Chairman Dan
Rostenkowski, and Mike Synar, who lost
in the primary.
When certain politicians let it be
known t hat they were too corrupt for
their own good, they got the boot.
Rostenkowski, seekinghis 19th term,
was up to his neck in t he House bank
scandal, and had taken tax dollars for
personal needs, was promptly removed
from office by his constituents.
Foley's state, Washington, had put
term limits on him in 1992. In the
height of arrogance, he sued his own
bosses over this. So for the first time
since 1860, a sitting House Speaker was
voted out of office. So much for term
limits.
At a town hall meeting in his Oklahoma district a few months ago, Synar
actually told his constituents, "You just
don't get it," to which someone in the
audience replied, "No, you don't get it."
GREG HOADLEY
He then lost his primary to a 71-year
old, whose campaign headquarters were
in his basement.
So, politically speaking, these recent
elections could not have gone more perfectly for the GOP, who didn't lose a
single gubernatorial or congressional
incumbent.
They also won the Senate without
the help of their two most controversial
candidates, Michael Huffington and
Oliver North. Granted, both cam very
close to winning, but in our system, it's
winner take all, so close doesn't count.
To add icing to t he cake of new majority leader Bob Dole, t he conservative
Democrat Richard Shelby switched parties. This is fitting for Shelby, who
voted t he Republican line more often
anyway. It was becoming too apparent
to him t hat the Democrats didn't have a
place for him in their party.
Critics of t he Republicans will say
t hat they promised too much to get
elected (i.e., balance t he budget, but
raise military spending and cut taxes).
So what should we do about this?
Well, over the next two years, let's hold
the members of t he Republican controlled Congress' feet to t he fire, but at
the same time give them the benefit of
the doubt. If they don't produce, they
they should probably get the boot we
just gave the Democrats. This will show
our government, once again, who really
owns the country.

Dear Editor:
In my opinion,San Diego's trash problem is a terrible crisis and to think that any
landfill project could do more than prolong
the inevitable dilemma is folly. The Campo
Band of Mission Indians cannot help San
Diego citizens, though their desire to do so
is meritorious.
We residents of San Diego, and many
other quickly growing communities like
our own, must change the very way t hat we
view "waste." We need to implement new
programs t hat will treat our waste so t hat
it may be reduced, reused and recycled and
we must not fall into the t rap of calling
upon our kind neighbors to store our garbage on their already diminished lands.
Truly, I wonder at t he wisdom of t he
tribal elders t hat would invite San Diego
County waste management crews to allow
the tidal wave of our garbage to flood onto
their reservation. Haven't t he Federal and
State governments taken enough from t he
tribes; must we reduce their remaining
lands to trash heaps as well? I fear for the
young of this tribe. What will happen when
San Diego's waste seeps into their drinking
water? Will this landfill amount to another
gift of pestilent blankets t hat we use to
further weaken t he tribes?
Their brochure promises me t hat my
joining with will not cost me a thing; I
PUBLIC FORUM
respond, with my belief, t hat it would cost
the tribe their health and would cost me my
good conscience. As to your argument t hat
this landfill will assure the tribe jobs and
financial stability, I would invite you and
your tribe to look to the works of your
brothers and sisters who enjoy the receipts
of their casinos. I encourage you to use
your guile to secure a future for your children and their children rather t han expending your last and finest resource, t he
Earth, in a gamble t hat will, most likely,
end in the poisoning of your people, physically and spiritually. This landfill is not t he
answer to your bright f uture but a deadly
t rap t hat has been wrongfully sold to you
and which you, now, are tryingto sell to me.
I wish you and your tribe health and a
long life of peace in this world. And I do not
wish to store my garbage on or in our sacred
Earth.

Literature and Writing Studies
Wonders of ginseng are
misleading
A recent Pride article on the Health and
Fitness page about the "magical powers" of
ginseng caught my eye (November2,1994).
Although I am not familiar with scientific
studies of ginseng and its components, l am
suspicious and somewhat worried about
the claims made for it in the article, especially as no evidence for the various claims
was presented.
Controversy surrounds many drugs
whose efficacy and safety have been tested
extensively by pharmaceutical companies
and medical schools under the watchful eye
of the Food and Drug Administration. I
would therefore be very surprised if there
did not also exist much controversy about
the safety or beneficial effects of ginseng, a
complex natural product which has not
gone through such thorough study. I am
disappointed t hat neither opposing views
nor scientific evidence about t he safety or
beneficial effects of ginseng was presented
i n the article.
I encourage consumers to be highly skeptical oft he claims made by t he manufactur-
ers, distributors and sellers of "traditional
medicines" and "health foods," and to accept such claims only when sound evidence
for their safety and benefits is presented.
Although it is true t hat many valuable
medications have been derived from "traditional medicines," these are most safe
and effective when t he active ingredients
are isolated, studied and prescribed in controlled dosages by a physician who understands their physiological effects. Many of
the'"natural" products on the market do no
good; a few do no good and are later found
to do harm, as well. Perhaps the greatest
harm is done when people with a real medical problem choose to treat their problem
with an ineffective "traditional" or "natural" remedy instead of getting effective
help from a qualified medical professional.

The facts about
Influenza
In our beautiful Southern California it is difficult to tell that winter is
just around the corner. With winter
comes the first round of respiratory
viruses and eventually true influenza
commonly call the "flu". True influenza is a viral respiratory infection
that strikes suddenly with high fever,
bodyaches, frequently severe headache
(especially around the eyes) dry hacking cotigh and ofter respiratory symptoms. Most young healthy adults will
be able to recover from the infection
without much problem except missing
a few days of classes or work. For
others who are considered "high risk",
the illness can be very serious with
pneumonia and a long recovery being
prominent.
To prevent this potentially serious
illness each year an Influenza "Flu"
vaccine is developed. It changes each
year because although the clinical illness doesn't change the virus does.
Viruses are very sneaky microbes. By
the way, there are two (2) significant
influenzaviruses,A&B. Type A causes
the most severe illness. The vaccine
this year protects against 2 viruses of
the A type and one of the B type. The
best time to get the vaccine is essentially now through November because
it often takes a few weeks to develop
antibodies after vaccination. The immunity then lasts at its highest level
for approximately three (3) months.
As with many preventive health
practices people don't avail themselves
to their benefits. One reason frequently
given is that influenza is a nuisance
illness. As previously stated it is very
serious for high risk people and can
strike even healthy people quicklycausing pneumonia. Also, it is a major
factor in loss of school and work days.
Secondly, people all too often have
heard stories about reactions that
mostly are not true and frequently
greatly exaggerated. Studies have demonstrated almost the same reported
effects with vaccine or placebo (placebo being not an active vaccine). Also,
the newer vaccines are purer and more
sophisticated. The only true
//
//
$
m
/
contraindication not to receive the vaccine is a serious allergy to eggs because
the viruses used to create the vaccine
are grown in egg cell-culture.
Who should d efinitely receive t he v accine i.e. t he
high-risk groups? T hey are
as follows:
1. People with chronic lung or heart
disease. This includes persons with
asthma-which includes many collegeage students.
2. People with chronic metabolic
disease such as diabetes, kidney disease or people who are immunosuppressed.
3. People over the age of 60.
4. People who are capable of transmitting flu to high-risk patients such
as
a. Health care workers - including non professionals who work
with or provide services to high-risk
patients
b. Persons living in the same
household with high-risk patients
Also, although not considered highrisk, people who provide essential community services should contemplate
vaccination. In my mind this would
include teachers, teachers' aids, preschool teachers, counselors, etc. Many
college-age students work in these areas.
Student Health Services will be offering the Influenza Vaccine through
November to both high-risk and other
patients until supplies run out. They
are offered free to students. Ifyou have
any questions or requrie further information call 752-4915.

Liquid Groove—local band in demand
Liquid Groove emerged almost two years
ago as one of t he brightest lights on t he
horizon of San Diego's proliferating music
scene. This dynamic* "counter-alternative" four-piece band fuses sensual, gutwrenching vocals, powerful, standout bass
line, catchy, upbeat drums, percussion,
hook-laden, rhythmic guitar, and some of
the best songwriting you've ever heard, to
create a totally distinctive sound of their
own. Liquid Groove's music speaks for
itself. Theirs is an exciting formula that
includes compelling, "talked about" live
performances and adventurous, unbridled
songs—a powerful artistic force t hat adds
a new dimension to, and challenges the
structure of, today's contemporary music'.
Liquid Groove is currently performing a t clubs, coffeehouses, parties, and
special events throughout Southern
California ( ie. San Diego MTV Spring
Break, S.D. Civic t heater, Belly Up,
Casbah, Bodie's, and other locales in

ELECTIONS: 15 percent
may be a low voter
turnout, but it's still
higher than many CSU
campuses
B Y R ICHARD M AUSER
Are CSUSM students involved on
campus?
Considering the results of the recent Associated Students Inc. (ASI)
elections, a lot would have to answer
"no."
Only 692 students bothered to vote
in the two-day election April 15-16.
That's about 15 p ercent of t he
university's student population.
But, compared to the other CSU
campuses, where turnout in such
elections averages 8-10 percent, 15
percent may not be all that bad.
But, in the eyes of many on campus, it still leaves room for improvement. "I was pretty proud that we got
15 percent, but I would like to see 4050 percent turnout in the future,"
said ASI Executive Director Darlene
Willis. Added current ASI President
Joe Faltaous: "I think there are several layers of apathy on campus. ASI
can help bring down those layers."
ASI, which will control a $600,000
budget next year, is one of the few
entities on campus that has officers
elected solely by students. In fact, the
students employ the ASI, since $20
out of every student's tuition goes
directly to the organization.
But some students may not realize
that. In fact, there was a dearth of
candidates for the ASI board. Of the
18 seats at stake in the election, only
four were actually contested on the

As a result of the $2.26 million bequest of Leonard Evers, CSUSM established the Evers Computer Scholarship fund. Beginning this fall, each

"Computers are an integral part of

At CSUSM, computers are essential
for doing research, creating artwork,
analyzing information, and communicating with other students and professors. It's virtually impossible to get

�ESL program prepares
foreign students for
new challenges
B Y SCOTT BASS
They come from Brazil, Turkey and Taiwan; the United Arab Emirates, Japan
and Korea. A United Nations delegation?
No, just some of the nations represented in CSUSM's English as a Second
Language program, which is directed on
c ampus
by the
American
Language
and Cultural Institutes
(ALCI).
The
c urriculum consists of
intensive academic preparation courses
for students who come to the United
States from other nations to continue
their education.
ESL students are rarely true begin-:
ners in English. "We do get some students who are fairly low level English
speakers/' admitted Cheryl Wecksler,
director of the ALCI. "Most have studied English in their own country."
Students who take the courses exit
the program with a certificate in hand
and the ability to continue their education in the United States.
The ESL program builds upon each
s tudent's individual skills, said
Wecksler, adding, "When a student
comes in we test them. We place them,
depending on their test results, at varying levels."
The ESL program gives the students
the academic tools necessary to reach
their scholastic goals in this country,
she said. "Some may need a semester.
Others may need a full year," she added.
The program keeps academics as its
main focus. "We teach students how to
do academic writing, how to do research, how to write research papers
and listening
and notetaking
skills,"
said
Wecksler.
"We
make
sure they
have the
skills
necessary to survive academically here
in the U.S. We teach them how to succeed in an American university."
Three alumni of CSUSM's ESL program will graduate from the university
this spring. "Others who have gone
through the program will be entering
CSUSM as freshman next semester,"
said Wecksler. "We ajso have alumni
who went on to UCSD and Berkeley."
Aside from academic preparation,
ALCI offers short-term programs in
ESL. Among these is a language and
culture program that centers on personal communication. "The program
focuses on speaking and listening," said
Wecksler," straight-forward communication skills r ather t han academic
skills."
At 10 a.m. on May 13,15 ESL students
will receive their certificates from ALCI
in Commons 207.

Upward Bound students to hold fund-raiser
B Y FREDRIC BALL
r f l h e students in CSUSM's Up
ward Bound Program (UB)
will be heading to Washing
mJLm ton, D.C., this summer and
they want your money. For their fundraisers, that is.
From June 21-30, approximately 25
UB students will be heading to the
Nation's Capital to participate in the '98
"Summer Education College Tour."
The students will be holding a 5 0/
50 raffle and candy sale on campus to
help pay for the trip.
"The students are visiting some of the
country's historical landmarks and colleges," said UB programmer Shelly
Anguiano, "including Howard and
Georgetown Universities, the White
House, the Holocaust Museum and
many others."
During the next several weeks, candy
will be for sale at the UB Office (Craven
5201) along with the raffle tickets. The
raffle prize is half of the money raised
through ticket sales.
"So, if we sell $2,000 in tickets, whoever holds the winning ticket will get
$1,000," said Anguiano.
UB is a college preparation course for
low-income, first-generation college
students in North County.
Students, who are recruited at eighth
grade, gain entry to a number of helpful programs aimed at ensuring academic success.
Some of the offerings include tutorials that are offered at the high school
level and "College Saturdays" where the
high schoolers receive college-type instruction on CSUSM's campus. Students also go on field trips and college
campus tours.
Currently, UB offers services to eight
area high schools. "We follow the students from eight grade to high school,"
says Anguiano, "Once the students become juniors in high school, we help
them apply to colleges, for scholarships
and other financial aid."
To help the UB students raise money
for their trip, or for more information,
call Anguiano at (760) 750-4885.

Diverse hiring: a blessing or a curse?
B Y D E B B I E H ENKE
What some call a commitment to diversity, others see as reverse discrimination.
The current CSUSM administration
is committed to building a diverse faculty. Yet some on campus believe the
methods used by the university to recruit and hire faculty members are unfair and possibly illegal.
Two faculty members, speaking only
oh the condition of anonymity, said too
much time is spent seeking minority
candidates with no interest in teaching
at CSUSM. "This is sensitive, politically
incorrect stuff," said one. "The truth
would ruffle way too many feathers."
One said the university's current hiring process is "an unnecessary bureaucracy, driven by diversity,"
Both said that in many cases salary
demands of prospective hires can seldom be met, and that Searches are
sometimes canceled in violation of
Proposition 209 simply because a candidate may not be an ethnic or racial
minority.
Both said the CSUSM's Department
of Institutional Diversity and Equal Opportunity (IDEO) plays far too heavy a
role in university recruiting.
But Joe Cordero, IDEO director, denied it, adding that state universities are
still able to target minorities for recruitment despite Proposition 209, which
ended affirmative action in state hiring
and education. They cannot, however,
show preference based on race or gender, he stressed.
The name of Cordero's office was
changed from the Department of Affirmative Action after Prop. 209 was approved by state voters.
The IDEO, Cordero said, recruits minorities in three ways: advertising in
educational journals specifically aimed
at minorities; attending academic conferences also specific to minority
groups; and contacting possible candidates directly.
But one of the CSUSM faculty members interviewed characterized the
IDEO's efforts as an "extravagant misallocation of very scarce university resources," and added that placing ads in
journals aimed at minorities is an expense the university cannot afford.
Both said ads in "The Chronicle of
Higher Education," a widely circulated
standard for academia, would reach all
qualified candidates, including minori-
date is not a minority. "Cordero's office
closely monitors the entire process, yet
will cancel a search just before a job offer is made," said one. "This very heavy
hand in the faculty recruiting process
is to assure minority candidates receive
priority consideration ... in direct violation of Proposition 209."
Cordero said his department is not
responsible for canceling a search, only
making recommendations. But, he
added, if his department feels the pool
of candidates is not diverse, and the
person under consideration is mediocre, a search might be ended. "Nobody
wants to hire for the sake of hiring,"
Cordero said. "We agonize over this."
Yet he admitted his office is stricter
with departments who he says "do not
have a good track record" for minority
hiring. One faculty source questioned
whether the IDEO is qualified to decide
if an applicant is mediocre, adding,
"Only the minority candidates are interviewed by Cordero. So how can he
judge if another candidate is mediocre?"
In addition, the two faculty sources
said, not many minority candidates are
available in a number of academic
fields, and those who are available are
in high demand by other universities,
which pay more and hire faster.
ties. Both also said they opposed attending conferences for specific ethnic
or gender groups, because it meant
spending money on travel only to speak
to a small number of candidates. Attending conferences which are held in
every academic discipline, they added,
was a better way to meet all qualified
candidates.
The university also reaches out to
minorities by contacting people listed
in the "Minority & Women Doctoral
Directory," they said. These lists are
given by IDEO to each faculty search
committee.
The problem with this* according to
both faculty members, is that more than
half of the people listed already have
teaching positions and no interest in
coming to CSUSM.
Cordero disagreed, saying every effort
must be made to reach out to minorities "because of the university's commitment to diversity," and added that
the IDEO does not want to hinder a
search team's efforts.
"If a department believes' bureaucratic restrictions are causing delays,
then we need to know and reevaluate
the process," he said.
The two faculty sources insisted that
searches are canceled because a candi-

be, tutors or peer academic advisors.
"Many others come just because they

pursue a career in the "helping professions.' All students are welcome."
The two-day^eries of seminar workshops is designed to enlarge students'
capabilities in communication skills,
assertiveness, multicultural issues in

Quite likely, the mere mention of the

Counseling & Psychological Services
(CAPS) offers a variety of services to

"In general, our goal is to improve the
health of the CSUSM community as

Dy. Fritz Kreisler, who heads the office.
To accomplish this, CAPS offers individual personal counseling and brief
therapy to assist students with things
like study challenges, problematic relationships and stress.
"Nearly 10 percent of the student

says Kreisler.

Enrollment:
"These admissions figures demonstrate the troubling impact Proposition
209 has, and will continue to have, on
California's future," said Lt. Governor
Davis. "Clearly, Prop. 209's legacy will
result in fewer African Americans and
Latinos who will be educated to contribute to their communities in a meaningful way."
According to statistics released by officials at both UC Berkeley and UCLA,
the number of Latinos admitted declined by more than 56 percent and 33
percent, respectively.
Similarly the number of African
Americans admitted declined by more
than 64 percent at UC Berkeley and 42
percent at UCLA.
"Proposition 209 is the law of the
land and tile UC system must abide by
the voters' decision in 1996," added
Davis. "However, we must be diligent
in improving California's K-12 system
in order to make students from those
continued from page 1
schools that have historically not been
competitive, more competitive in the
future. We must also be creative in rethinking UC's admissions policy to allow f or a b etter r epresentation of
California's population."
Lt. Governor Davis is a proponent of
a proposal before the UC Regents that
calls for automatically admitting to the
UC afixedpercentage of graduating seniors from each high school in California to tile UC system.
"It is time for the UC Regents to seriously consider adopting the top-students' proposal as a means to offset the
dramatic impact of Prop. 209," Davis
concluded. "Thefirststep is raising the
b& on academic achievement in
California's high schools. This will improve academic performance among all
high-schoolers and, at the same time,
ensure that no segment of California's
diverse communities is shut out of the
UC."

Phillips.
"I am not aware of any other program
like this in the country. Some campuses
require students to have their own computers but add the cost onto tuition.
Some campuses loan computers to students. I have not heard of any programs,
other than the Evers Computer Scholarships, where the students get to use
and keep the computers," stated
Norman Nicolson, dean of instructional
and information technologies.
Each computer will be fully loaded
with software, including Internet connectivity. Evers scholars will periodically be given software upgrades at no
cost, to insure that they are current with
the latest technology. New computers
will be purchased each year, so that
each new group of scholars will have
up-to-date computers. The university
will offer technical support to the scholars through its student computer help
desk.
To apply for the first Evers Computer
Scholarship, students must: plan to
enroll as a freshman at CSUSM fall,
1998; have a minimum 3.0 high school
grade point average; and show financial
need as determined by CSUSM.
Students interested in applying for
the Evers Computer Scholarships must
complete a CSUSM General Scholarship Application and a Free Application
for Federal Student Aid. Both forms
must be completed and mailed to
CSUSM by April 20.
Applications are available at most high

Track:
continued from page 1
With the success of the new fee referendum, CSUSM students
will soon be able to participate in various intramural sports
a $52 million sports and entertainment
facility.
Four years later, several students
launched an u nsuccessful legal
challenge of t he resulting $47 per
semester fee increase. Today, the SDSU
facility, officially called Cox Arena at
Aztec Bowl, hosts five gymnasiums, a
workout room, weight-training room,
locker room with saunas and a rockclimbing wall.
The idea for the CSUSM project
began approximately two years ago with
a $50,000 donationfroma local builder
who asked to r emain anonymous,
Lynch said. That money paid for the
field's design and soil-testing costs.
But plans to build the state-of-the-art
track and soccer field stalled after only
about $25,000 was raisedfromvarious
other donors, she said.
Gonzalez rekindled the plans when he
proposed t hat s tudents back the
development of the facility through a
fee increase referendum.
The original donor then pledged an
additional $150,000 for the project if it
won student approval.
According to a voter information flier
distributed by the university, the donor
will "assist the University to initiate the
development of the facility by early
summer," which Gonzalez explained
meant helping the university to secure
financing for the project.
Because academic buildings have first
priority for state funds, money to build
an athletic facility would have to come
from s tudent and donor s upport,
according to the flier.
The referendum met limited
opposition from students, with some
comparing the issue as a battle between
sports and scholastics.
Though conceding she didn't vote on
the issue, biology m ajor Robyn
Rosenburg said she was concerned
about CSUSM losing academic focus.
"It's ridiculous to pay for a soccer field
when we don't even have enough
classes," she added.
Students will pay the additional fee
for seven to 10 years, after which they
may vote to rescind it, or keep it to fund
additional facilities and programs.
ASI Secretary Erik Dawson warned
that there probably will only be a small
window of opportunity to abolish the
fee once the track is paid off.
"Students will have to remain
constantly vigilant, otherwise they are
going to get ripped off," he added.
Though hot certain where funds
would come from to maintain the field
if students do vote the fee out a decade
from now, Gonzalez said they would
probably come f rom t he campus
budget.
Francine Martinez, vice president of
Student Affairs, praised students for
recognizing the need for the facility.
"The proposed track speaks to a change
in the campus culture for the students,"
she said, adding that it could be used
for such events as club days in the fall,
concerts and the annual health fair.
CSUSM membership in the National
Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)
may also loom in the future, but first
the University must establish five men's
and five women's teams, she said.
For the time being, students will have
t he o pportunity to develop and
p articipate in i ntramural sports,
Gonzalez said.
ASI President Joe Faltaous called the
track a step in t he right direction,
adding, "It gives t he campus a
opportunity to begin hosting more
programs and activities and creating a
channel for uniting students."
Senior Julie Baer said she voted for
the referendum even though she will
not be on campus next year to use it
because she will still be an alumnae.
"Every college with a quality reputation
has a good sports program," she said.
Sophomore Arwen Swink said she
believes thefieldwill "make the campus
a little bit more official," and pointed
out that the $35 increase in student fees
was more than canceled by a 5 percent
t uition decrease enacted by state
legislators.
Josephine Jones, a literature and
writing major who expects to graduate
next fall, said she didn't mind paying an
extra $35 even though the chances of
her ever using the track were slim.
"It's not so much that I'm not going
to use it," she said, "I see it as an asset
for the community."
Jones said she was not bothered by
the fact that nearly 90 percent of the
s tudents failed to vote o n the
referendum. "The apathy stems from
society as a whole and it just trickles
down to our peon level," she added.

B Y L O D I A O RAMAS
As most of us know, the college routine
is a hectic one. Getting away, if only for
a couple of minutes, is not only helpful
to stressed-out students, but mandatory.
And there is a place on the CSUSM
campus where it's possible to do that.
But you'd better enjoy it while you can,
because even that simple pleasure may
soon be lost.
The Student Lounge in Conference
Room 2-206 ... equipped with a TV, a
couple of tables and plenty of seating. ..
may be small, but it's the only thing we
have. It is now controlled by Associated
Students Inc. (ASI), but other university groups are casting covetous eyes at
the space.
According to the CSUSM Foundation, the off-campus office responsible
for the university's growth, not enough
students use the lounge. The Foundation is considering taking it over and
converting it into a conveyance store.
The CSUSM Space Committee, on the
other hand, would like to turn it into a
conference room.
Either way, that would leave students
nowhere to go during breaks.The Student Affairs Office also has plans for the
lounge, which would leave most of it
intact. That office has recommended
converting the back 10 feet of t he
present lounge into an office to house
the Pride newspaper.
ASI also has recommended spending
$5,000 to improve its offices, as well as
the lounge, according to ASI secretary
Erik Dawson.
Even at present, the lounge is not always available to students, since ASI
allows other campus organizations to
reserve the room for special events.
The Student Union also has proposed
to take over the lounge, but preserve the
space for students, according to Student
Union chairman Matt Mugglebee. He
points out that such a move would provide the group the opportunity to have
"a heart on campus."
The problem boils down to a familiar
refrain at CSUSM: The university is
growing, and its facilities aren't. There
simply isn't space to accommodate everyone.
Unfortunately, should the present
lounge be lost, there is no plan to provide any other space to enable students
to do what they should be doing beside
studying and learning... relaxing.
Fee increase:
dent Erin Schazenbach, who voted
against t he increase, asked, "Why
should a third of the $35 increase go to
a scholarship pool? Aren't we all in need
of financial assistance? it just doesn't
make sense."
She added that she would rather see
her money spent on construction of a
better library or perhaps a center for art
programs.
But, according to the wishes of the
anonymous $150,000 donor, the contribution could only be used for an athletic facility. Had the referendum failed,
the gift would have been withdrawn.
Certainly, the donation provides the
university with an opportunity to create a more interactive campus, encouraging students to become more involved and concerned, but why should
all students have to pay out for a facility that only an obvious minority of
them cares about?
And exactly how long will they have
to pay what amounts to a tax?
The information pamphlets provided
at the polls said students will have an
opportunity to vote to get rid of the $35
increase once the debt is paid.
But who will initiate such a vote? The
students entering CSUSM seven to 10
years from now may not even have access to this information.
The extra $35 may not immediately
be noticed by students, because of a
temporary decrease in tuition that undoubtedly helped in its adoption.
As one senior who voted in favor
pointed out, it didn't seem to make a
difference, thanks to the reduction. But
fees are bound to go up, as they always
do, and the increase will be a heavier
burden for CSUSM students.
Also, the termination of some costs
like field maintenance and developmental growth in the future seems uncer-

tain. Won't both be needed constantly?
What if future students decide not to
pay the fee anymore? Will that mean
the soccer field's grass won't get cut or
watered?
It appears that the $18.35 fee set aside
for these costs will be a fixture, unless
future sports programs accrue revenue.
CSUSM administrators maintain that
the adoption of the increase will send
the message out to the community that
we care enough about our campus to
spend our own money to build needed
facilities.
Jane Lynch, executive director of university advancement, said the track's
approval was an "important partnership with the community."
But will that spur the community to
offer financial s upport f or f uture
projects? Maybe. Maybe not. But it's
hardly an assumption that students
should have relied on.

Visual Arts student
displays her
talents in Carlsbad
B Y CHRIS OZOLS
She gets up before the sun rises and
keeps going until after it sets. Sometimes she spends three or four days
searching for the perfect image, and
then she waits a bit longer for good
lighting and a "certain feel" between her
and her subject.
Even though photography is a long
and hard process, Becca Siminou, a
CSUSM visual arts major, says, "It's a
wonderful process."
Siminou's photography exhibit,
"Tracing Journeys through Shadows,"
is now on display at Good Books Gallery, 527 Carlsbad Village Drive, at the
corner of State Street in Carlsbad until
May 24. It features 33 of her favorite
shots, 25 of them in black-and-white,
and the remaining eight in color.
Many of her pictures are of landscapes, and few have people in them.
"Her work is wonderful," said fellow
s tudent Marcus Schiro, s taring at
Siminou's favorite natural-setting picture, "Reflections."
"It makes me feel relaxed and calm.
"The entire exhibit is for sale. Framed
color shots cost $200, framed black-
and-white pictures, $160. But the pictures also are available unframed. The
display is Siminou's capstone project to
meet the requirements for her BA. The
project is designed to bring students, as
well as their art, into the community.
"I photographed a lot as a kid when I
was traveling with my family, and then
in high school, my sophomore year, I
took my first photo class, and I fell in
love with it. With time, I knew it was
what I wanted to do," Siminou says,
"I am able to capture myself and my
soid in my images and really re-energize myself. It's a way of doing something for myself as well as for people,
because they are able to look at the images, see places they have never been,
and maybe introduce them to a place
they want to go."
Through her years at both Palomar
College and CSUSM, Siminou says, she
has gained confidence in her work. "College is what really brought out my vision, and made me realize I have talent,"

poetry) and suspend judgment until you've listened
. to it a few times all the way through. Thisa&um definitely grows on you.
The undeniably moody composition of "OK Computer" effectively weds form and content into one unassuming organic whole. The thoughtful lyrics of
singer Thorn Yorke offer thematic text to intensely
menacing instrumentals. Check out tracks like "Paranoid Android," "Exit Music (for a film)," "Karma Police*' and the eerie-electronic "Fitter, Happier." They're
all songs that comment on the difficulty in virtue and
the absurd emptiness of resolution on the moral imperative of doubt and self-improvement in the everweakened human condition.
"OK Computer" offers a 12-track piece of kinetic art
with contextually forceful and sensitive psychological underpinnings. Radiohead's oft-times dark and
brooding ambient sound has earned the group comparisons to Pink Floyd by critics ... a comparison
Greenwood modestly chalks up to the groups' common British roots.
"Oxford (Radiohead's hometown) is in the center
of England, but it's not really a rock n' roll town, and
we don't record in a rock n' roll place," he says. "We

B Y JIM GATES
r • 1 he Grammy Awards judges seem to think that
you should buy this album. It earned a Best
J L Album of the Year nomination and most mainstream print media publications followed suit by placing it on their "ten best" list as well.
While I'm of the opinion that the Grammys reflect
out-pf-touch indus|ry politics, valueless to music taps
outside of the mainstream, I II admit it: The hype
alone drove me to buy this CD.
Like anyone else, I feel the pressure to want to listen to esoteric bands that no one has ever heard of,
but despite the urge to be disagreeable here, I have to
concur with the Grammys.
"OK Computer," Radiohead's third release, would
be an asset to anyone's collection. My worst nightmare of becoming a closet pop fan is slowly coming
true.
Radiohead has experienced its share of variable
success. Its two previous releases, "Pablo Honey" and
"The Bends," saw considerably less fanfare. "OK Computer," on the other hand, has earned the group its
highest level of critical and commercial success to
date.
Oddly, t he success of "OK Computer" proves
Radiohead to be the consummate pop band with zero

Dear Editor,
Your recent front page, "above the
fold" article about something called
"Electric Library" is, I fear representative of the most common shortcoming
of college students today: the inability
to research a question or topic in a
scholarly manner. Electronic access to
databases can certainly be a boon, but
only if the consumer is discerning. Your
reporter proclaimed the "richness" of
the Electric Library database and offered as evidence "a well-balanced
cross-section of data" in the form of
National Review, Psychology Today,
Newsday and USA Today, not one
scholarly publication among them, and
one of them the McPaper of our age.
The inclusion of The Complete Works
of Shakespeare is curious in that it
would seem t o be one of t he most
readily available books (remember
those?) in any library, negating the necessity of paying $10 per month to
"read" the Bard via a cathode ray tube.
My points are these: First, when all is
said and done, jthers is^no s^bstituteioi;
walking through a library and actually
touching and reading books and journals; in some cases, that is the only
place you will find what you need for a
scholarly paper. Second, for this campus—and its students and their publications—to mature, it is incumbent
upon the faculty advisors of the student
paper to more carefully examine what
is being touted as the most important
story of the week. (Buried in the same
issue was t he more i mportant and
timely article r egarding remedial
courses in the CSU system.)

letters to the editor
Use library's resources:
free of charge
Dear editor:
I write in response to Dan LaBelle's
lead article in "The Pride" of April 2,
1998. "Electric Library Addresses Research Woes" touts an Internet resource
which provides access to popular journals for $59.95 annually. I invite all
"Pride" readers to use an array of resources supporting the CSUSM curriculum — absolutely free.
Enter the Library from the 3rd floor
courtyard of Craven Hall and there
you'll find several databases which will
give you full-text information from
more than 1500 journals in a variety of
subject areas. Plus you'll find library
staff who will help you formulate search
strategies and evaluate the information
you find. Bring a disc and download the
information that works best for you.
While in the Library you can also get
real research assistance in the Research
Consultation Office and even checkout
books to take home. (Believe it or not,
more than 90% of scholarly information is still available only in printed
form.)
Many of the databases are also avail-
able from the comfort of your own
workstation 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week by dialing in to the Library's electronic resources page ( http://
ww2.csusm.edu/library/
electronic.htm). In addition to full-text
journals, you can also access the
Encyclopaedia Brittanica. Contemporary Authors, and databases that include college catalogs from over 6,900
institutions as well as company and industry information. The Library's government documents page ( http://
ww2.csusm.edu / govdoc / index.htm)
provides links to government sites at
the local, state, national, and international levels. Whether in the Library or
at home, you can also search the
Library's catalog and order books from
SDSU, UCSD or USD libraries through
the San Diego Library Circuit.
Your campus library has a wealth of
resources. Come use them — in person
or virtually!
Sincerely,
Marion T. Reid
Dean, Library & Information Services

Elections little more than
popularity contest
Dear Editor,
I would like to address an issue that I
feel is a great detriment to our campus
In the recent elections, there were a
number of candidates who told us to
vote for them. I found out some interesting things about these candidates. I
found, that one could make a monkey
smile, therefore we should vote for him.
Another could rap, therefore we should
vote for him. And, others simply told us
to vote for them, but for no real reason.
One thing that was lacking from every
candidate was any substantive reason
as to why we should vote for them at
all. What do they believe in? What type
of experience do they have? What are
their philosophies and/or views. What
issues do they feel are important and
why?
None of these items were addressed.
Also, the manner in which the election
was run forced those who actually voted
to vote solely based on acquaintance,
redfieing these'electiofis to little* more
http://www.save.org
than a high-school popularity contest.
We now attend a university and I feel
that the issues deserve considerably
more regard; regard which has not been
forthcoming. Now, arguably, there is
little in the way of a forum for the candidates to be heard. I feel they could
create their own forum if they so desired
but probably will not if the current
method used continues to work for
them.
I therefore have a proposition for the
Associated Students Inc. ASI should
mandate a forum as a requirement for
running. In other words, if a person
decides to runfor an office, they would
be required t o, o n a specified day,
present a 3-5 minute speech on there
merits, experience, and views on issues.
This forum could be held in a vacant
lecture hall and would cost the school
little if anything at all. The information
gained however would be invaluable in
helping the students guide and plan for
the future of this university.
I cannot believe for a moment that I
am the only person who feels this way.
I ask the ASI to consider this suggestion or similar suggestions, for the issues that the students face everyday are
too important to leave to someone simply because a monkey smiles in their
presence.

CSUSM celebrates fifteenth
Anniversary
BY KARLENE WIEGAND
Pride Staff Writer
From "Cal State Jerome's Chicken Ranch" to Cal State
San Marcos, CSUSM campus has undergone countless
changes, but many administrators have been here all 15
years.
CSUSM celebrated its 15-year anniversary at the library
Plaza Wednesday afternoon, acknowledging long-term,
veteran pioneers.
The ceremony was held to recognize all the hard work
BY SCOTT PHILIPS
Pride Staff Writer
Police conduct is a growing concern among
those who feel they have been unfairly treated
by campus police. N
An open forum was held on November 4 following the recent arrest of student Jason Edwin
Williams on campus by Cal State San Marcos
University Police. The event was organized
by Professor Sharon Elise from the sociology
department. The Thursday forum had been
rescheduled so President Karen Haynes could
attend, but much to the dissatisfaction of the
attendees, she never arrived.
The forum started with Williams, telling his
side of the events that transpired on the eve of
October 20, including the rough treatment he
alleges during the arrest. According to Williams, he was pulled over by campus police for
failure to stop at a stop sign. Williams claims
he was never asked for his car registration or
insurance, but instead was asked to step out of
his vehicle. He said that after being questioned
about his ownership of the car, the police started
to search the vehicle.
"I asked them why they were searching my
car, and could not get a clear response," Williams said.
He said after finding an open bottle of alcohol—left over from a birthday party a few days
earlier—the officers performed a sobriety test on
Williams. Williams explained that he was going
to study for his midterm. Williams went on to
state that the officers continued with their search
of the car, even after determining that he had
not been drinking,. Williams said he was handcuffed when one of the officers found a kitchen
knife during the second search of Williams' car.

of the dirt lots during the rain was due to
lot condition, but it was actually because
the entrance of the lot flooded.
According to Robert Williams of
CSXJSM Parking Services, thefloodingof
the entrance was caused by the location of
the, "catch basin at the north end of lot Y
where most of thefloodingoccurred. The
water compromised the dirt bank and created afloodat the entrance. Installation of
the catch basin is scheduled, but the area
must dry out completely prior to starting
work."
The dirt lots were spared by the heavy

According to Williams, the officer kicked out William's feet and
began to search him roughly for
any other contraband. Williams
states that the officers laughed
while executing the search. Williams said he was then forced into
the cruiser and taken to jail.
"While the officer was driving me to jail, he turned around
and told me I didn't belong here,"
Williams said.
Before being jailed, Williams

Life altering professors are
rare these days.
Many students here aren't
always fond about finding the
perfect teacher who will impact
and change the way we feel
about school. But, believe it or
not, some of the professors here
on campus do just that.
Have you ever walked out of
class feeling like you came out
a better, stronger, wiser person?
That a professor impacted the
way you believe and see things?
Well if you have, here is your
chance to show your appreciation.
The CSU system awards the
CSU Wang Family Award each
year. This award is designed
to recognize faculty who have
distinguished themselves by
making exemplary contributions in their academic disciplines, and by having a discernable impact on their students.
Each year, four faculty members from the CSU system are
honored for their dedication
to serving students needs. Not
only in the classroom but also
for efforts above and beyond
what is expected of them.
The qualifications are based
on teachers that have contributed to learning through activities such as publishing, includ-

CSUSM hasfinallynamed our
mascot- "Crash the Cougar."
"CSUSM has never officially
purchased a real cougar mascot,
ASI felt it was completely necessary," said ASI Vice President
of Communications Roy Lee.
As of October 21, the students at
Cal State San Marcos voted on
the name Crash to represent our
cougar mascot.
Before "Crash the Cougar,"
the CSUSM mascot was given a
local Indian name. The CSUSM
mascot was the "Tukwut," which
is the local Indian language name
for "cougar." Students were unfamiliar with the name and started
calling the mascot a cougar
instead of Tukwut.
"Tukwut was our original
mascot, not the cougar, but since
it meant the same thing, students
adopted the cougar instead," said
Lee.
Students had the option of

ing students in their research,
community service and recruiting students. These professors
contribute and benefit not only
students, but also contribute to
the CSU's reputation for excellence in teaching, learning,
research, scholarly pursuits,
student support and community
contributions.
Faculty that are probationary
and tenured within the last two
years are eligible to be nominated for the Wang Award. One
nominee from each of the following divisions may be nominated: Visual and Performing
Arts and Letters, Natural Sci-
ences, Mathematical and Computer Sciences and Engineering, Social and Behavioral Sciences and Public Services; and
Education, Professional and
Applied Sciences Fields.
Faculty, academic administrators, alumni and students
can nominate professors for
the Wang Award. Nominations
should be submitted in writing to the Senate Office here on
campus, and should explain why
the professor should receive
the award, and the relationship
the nominating individual has
developed with the professor.

voting for Crash, Rocky, Casey,
Corey, and Jamie as possible
names for the cougar mascot. But
many students were not aware of
the naming cougar voting, as well
as knowing the real history of our
mascot.
"It has already been voted on.
It was on the same ballot as the
Childcare Services Referendum,"
said Lee. Students have already
voted and Crash is the new name
for our cougar mascot.
"It is now in due time when
we will make a better formal
announcement regarding the
name of our mascot so students
are fully aware," said Lee.

�Jock Talk With Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
As I was
watching the
election coverage last Tuesday, I was
wondering who
from the sports
world
could
run for President and win. Yeah, my mind is
odd like that.
Thefirstname that popped into
my head was Shaquille O'Neal.
Shaq is extremely charismatic and knows how to work
the media. He has experience
in battle as he has taken a lot of
abuse under the basket. He can
also battle mentally as he was in
a war of words with Kobe for the
past 8-years in La La Land. He
would get a lot of support from
the male voters 18-35 as that is
the core sports viewership. He
would win the urban vote as he is
a hip hop artist (not a very good
one, but he has released some
albums). He grew up in a military
family and he is getting his masters degree in criminal justice,
which would help him with the
military vote. Then as I thought
a little harder, Shaq couldn't beat
Kobe in the battle of Los Angeles
so how could he beat anyone for
M1MÍ
the presidency.
After I realized Shaq wouldn't
hack it, Curt Schilling of the
World Champion Boston Red
Sox popped into my head. This
guy has made an art of using the
media to promote himself. He
would easily get the Republican
vote as he went on the campaign
trail for President Bush. Schilling
has always been a winner as he
has been to the World Series three
times with three different teams.
However, he might piss off a lot
of people because he does speak
an awful lot about religion and
hisbeliefs.
Once I realized Schilling
wasn't going to cut it, I thought
of Dale Earnhardt Jr. Earnhardt
Jr. is an interesting pick here as
he could give "Dubya" a run for
his money because they are so
similar. Earnhardt Jr. could steal
a lot of the southern votes as
NASCAR is huge in that area and
the NASCAR vote was supposed
to have an impact on this past
election. Earnhardt Jr. is also the
son of a legend just like Bush and
just like the president he spends
a lot of his time going in circles.
Earnhardt Jr. also stumbles over
his words in front of national
media like he did several weeks
ago when he dropped an F-bomb
in a post-race interview. But honestly, who is going to vote for a
race car driver?
Then I realized I was forgetting
about the most influential man in
sports history, Michael Jordan.
His Airness has been selling
the American public more crap
than most politicians. I mean this
guy has been the spokesman for
sports drinks, underwear, batteries, fast food, shoes, and pretty
much anything else you can
think of. He also has experience
in being an actor as he did star in
the movie "Space Jam." There is
no doubt he is a winner as he won
Six NBA titles with the Bulls.
I don't believe a sports icon
will ever become President but
it is interesting to imagine what
if, but then again if Arnold and

It's finally over, the election's over!!!
BY JAMARR PATRICK
Pride Staff Writer
First of all, please let me say
that politics can kiss my ass.
Secondly, I am so glad the political season is FINALLY over!
Thefirstreason why I am glad
that it is over is that I don't have
to see these stupid celebrities
hocking their newfound political values at me. Now that the
season is over I canfinallywatch
the same episode of "The Real
World" thirteen times in a row
without having it interrupted
with an "important" message
from Eminem telling me to vote.
Why on Earth would I listen to
a person who has never voted?
He and all of his celebrity brethren all of sudden get a political
wild hair up their asses and they
want to go preach to the masses
about voting? You know what
all these celebrity endorsements
did for me? Nada. Nothing. Zip.
Zero. I have been registered to
vote since I was 18 and P. Diddy
giving me a free "Vote Or Die!"
t-shirt had nothing to do with it.
I, like a whole lot of others, know
that you are supposed to vote if
you want to make a change.
Another reason why I'm glad
the political season is over is that
now I don't have to walk down
the street and see my neighbors
front yard decorated like a pack
of skittles with those bright colored signs encouraging me to
vote for whoever they think is the
best candidate.
Speaking of candidates, no
longer will my Jerry Springer political season. I think you can

up—man was I lost! Now I was
going to be the laughing stock of
the voter world.
To my amazement, when I
arrived all I saw were "W '04"
shirts in line. I had always been
under the impression that you
weren't supposed to make your
candidate choice known. In my
childhood, I would always ask
my mom who she was going to
vote for and she would respond,
"Ryan, its illegal to discuss this
information." Now I know she just
didn't want to talk to me. So even
though all these people broke the
voting etiquette, I wasn't about to
break my voter poker face.
After ten minutes of sitting in
line listening to the elder voter
with his dog behind me preach-
ing religion (needless to say we
all know who he voted for), he
decided to throw a vocal blow my
way. Someone asked him, "Hey
is your dog voting Bush today,
too?" and he responded with, "I
wish. He'd probably make a more
educated decision then some of
the young voters we got here."
I sat, quiet, contemplating a
clever response that would display the knowledge I had on the
candidates and the issues, but the
best I could come up with was
the sarcastic statement, "I highly
doubt that, sir."
I finally made it to the front
of the line. By this time I was
a mess, I could have signed my
name with the sweat off my
palms. I checked in, walked to
the electronic voting contraption, and handled the ballot like
a pro. I looked over at the elder
voter who so rudely judged me,
and was happy to see he needed
to be aided with the electronic
ballot. I softly muttered, "Get
with the times," under my breath,
finished, and walked away proud
with my "I Voted" sticker.
Another eighty miles later I
found myself back in class, a new
person; I was no longer a voting
virgin. The next day when I

Jam Control
This turtle is jumping
BY ALLISON SANDSBURY
Pride Staff Writer
Typically, people jump at bars where
they can dance; the "Jumping Turtle" is
a rock bar. Maybe it should be palled the
"Moshing Turtle."
I was incredibly impressed with the
atmosphere and scenery of the bar; it
reminded me of being in some artsy San
Francisco or Pacific Beach type of cafe,
but it was a lot louder due to the live
music.
The Friday that I checked out the bar,
four bands played. I liked the second
band, called "Fith," because they sounded
like a mix of Silverchair and Incubus.
Other than music for entertainment,
there are also two pool tables (equipped
with two chalk squares), and a functioning dartboard (a rare and pleasurable find
for me).
The $2.50 long-island drink specials
were definitely achieving their goal; they
were cheap, strong, and there was a variety offlavorsto choose from. The MidoriLong-Island drink was the best. There
was also pineapple or orange to choose
from.
Besides the specials, the beers are heavenly. There are 33 choices that are all
draft; they range from Johnny Courage
brewed back east, all the way to Arrogant
Bastard from Stone Brewery right here in
San Marcos.
The only thing worse than the semifunctional bathroom (I want to stress the
singularity/non-pluralness of bathROOM)
was the cover charge at the door. I'm not
a big fan of cover charges, but it was only
five dollars and the drink specials were
satisfying, so I got over it.
The bathrooms weren't totally intolerable because there were only about 15-20
girls there, the rest of the 40 people were
all guys; it was a sausage fest. This is my
kind of bar : I'm a cute, single, and 21-yearold girl, by the way.

9 * 1|| ' : ' . If"
BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
"'The Grudge' is less a film than a terror
delivery system," wrote Keith Phipps for The
Onion. I'm quoting Mr. Phipps here because
he has defined "The Grudge" better in one
sentence than I could do in one page.
The Grudge is a remake of Ju-On; a Japanesefilmby Takashi Shimizu. The American
version, "The Grudge," is set in Japan, but is
cast with Hollywood faces: Sarah Michelle
Gellar, Bill Pullman, and Jason Behr.
The plot summary is simple: Study Abroad
student Karen (Gellar) volunteers as a senior
citizen aid. Her first assignment is at a
ghost-filled house in Tokyo. The premise of
the ghosts is that a woman was killed in a fit
of rage by her husband who then killed himself and their son. Karen then takes on the
task of discovering the history of the haunted
house.
Do not let the simplicity (or the former
vampire slayer) deter you from seeing this
film. The movie is scary as hell and I don't
care how accustomed you think you are to
horror movies; once you see the little Japanese boy (Yoko Maki) pop out of a closet,
you will be looking over your shoulder for
days after you leave the theatre.
"The Grudge" is fused with suspense and
technology. This is the first horror movie

background of Toyko, which is futuristic in
itself.
Although the movie trailers assert that the
stars of the movie are Sarah Michelle Geller
and Bill Pullman, the character development
is slim to none and you willfindthat no one
character is more important than another.
I Mghly recommend "The Grudge.'' I will
conclude with this, as just thinking about this
movie for my review is giving me chills and I
amfindingmyself looking over my shoulder

The "Saw" doesn't
cut it as a psychohorror flick
BY SCOTT PHILLIPS
Pride Staff Writer
Maybe I set the bar too high
before viewing the movie "Saw."
The movie had extreme potential
and could have shaped up to be
a thriller that left a lasting emotional effect.
"Saw" is about a killer who
selects "worthy" victims and
puts them into bizarre situations.
The victim is left with little time
to make life or death decisions.
The movie starts with complete darkness, and then opens

to a rusty and abandoned industrial bathroom, where two men
are chained on both sides of the
room. In between the two men
is a dead body with a gunshot
wound ta the head, a .38 handgun, and an enormous pool of
blood. This is one hell of an
opening scene. Both Dr. Gordon
Lawrence (Cary Elwes) and a
young man named Adam (Leigh
Whannell) must figure out how
to escape, using the few clues
that the killer has left them. This
includes two saws, too weak for
the chains, but just sharp enough
for human flesh.
The following scenes take you
through the path that leads to
the connection these two men
have to each other and eventually, who is at hand for these hideous crimes. While disturbing,
the scenes lack that "umph" that
would classify this movie in the
realms of "Se7en".
The movie takes us through a
series of gore, violence and selfinflicted pain, but we can only
feel sympathy for our charac-
ters because of the situation they
are put in. There is no character development and the acting
is unconvincing.
There are
many parts where the suspense
is leading us to a very shocking moment, but far too often
the surprise never comes. I was
hoping for a strong performance
from Cary Elwes after a long
departure from the big screen,
but was not impressed with his
overacting in many scenes.
I would only recommend
seeing this movie if you are truly
into psychopathic thrillers. Even
then, you might be let down
because of the unrealized potential of this movie. Take your
chance and maybe you will get
more out of "Saw" than me, but
let's just say "I told you so " . ,
A Perfect Circle's much anticipated album "eMOTIVE" hit
stores November 2. A collection
of songs put together by the infamous quartet that is described by
Maynard James Keenan (vocalist), as "a collection of songs about
war, peace, love and greed."
The band has diversified their
music, and fan base with this
new album. One of the tracks,
"Imagine" is a John Lennon song
that speaks of a fictitious world
without greed, possessions, religion, and all things that create
division between people. "eMOTIVE" also includes cover songs
by classic groups such as; Marvin
Gaye's "What's Going On,"
Memphis Minnie's blues stomper, "When The Levee Breaks"
(made famous by Led Zeppelin),
Depeche Mode's "People Are
People," Devo's "Freedom Of
Choice," Black Flag's "Gimmie
Gimmie Gimmie," Fear's "Let's
Have A War," Joni Mitchell's
"Fiddle And The Drum," and
the Nick Lowe (by way of Elvis
Costello) anti-anthem, "(What's
So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love
And Understanding,"
The album will definitely
appeal to those who enjoy some
of the tracks listed above. However I think most old school fans
will feel slightly cheated. There
is original material on this album.
Is it what you are looking for similar to the Perfect Circle of old?
Probably not! A Perfect Circle
was able to create quality renditions of the tunes, retaining their
own dark, rhythmic, and heavy
sound.
We are witnessing the progression of a truly great rock band
attempting to branch out and
reach a more diverse fan base
with an abstract new album.
Most of the reactions to "eMOTIVE" so far are in fact, negative,
citing Eminem's appearance on
the album to be, "embarrassing."
A Perfect Circle fan may be a bit
apprehensive to buy this album
due to the large number of cover
songs contained in the album.
However the album's message is
to be considered as it comes to
our nation at afittingtime of war
and uncertainty.

for many prospective voters, especially young people looking

The election forum, held at

After the panel presented both

A COMMUNITY O F COURAGE
S tudent v eterans s upporting o ne a nother
BY CHRIS GIANCAMILLI
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
In 2008, Cal State San Marcos
became one of the newest schools
to feature a veterans center to
support students who are current
or former members of the military. Today, the CSUSM Veterans
Center serves several functions.
The center not only provides
a place for the ever-expanding
population of student veterans to
hang out, but also provides much
needed information on the ben-
efits of being a student veteran.
The United States Department
of Veterans Affairs (VA) works
with the CSUSM Veterans Center to help student veterans. The
center serves as an intermediary to guide the process of acquiring benefits from the VA.
The CSUSM Veterans Center
mediates between students and
the VA in order to ensure students get the most help possible.
Thanks to the Post-9/11 GI Bill,
student vets are eligible to receive help with their tuition and
l^^^ffifi
fees, monthly housing, books,
and supplies. Legislation like the
Post-9/11 GI Bill has allowed
easier reintegration of veterans
into schools once their service is
complete. It is available for veterans seeking undergraduate or
graduate degrees, as well as vocational and technical training.
The Veterans Center recruits
veterans as potential students to
CSUSM by setting up booths at
junior colleges and military bases. Their goal is to let veterans
know that CSUSM is a veteran
friendly campus that strives to
help them as much as possible.
The CSUSM Veterans Center also provides information on
veteran life outside of school.
They help student vets find out
what veteran activities are taking place in the local area.
While information is essential,
the Veterans Center serves as a
friendly environment for student
veterans to relax, drink coffee,
watch TV, or surf the web. The
center features a large TV that the
vets use to play some of their favorite movies including "Avatar,"
"The Hurt Locker," "The Dark
Knight," and "Super Troopers."
Student veterans enjoy a movie at University Hour.
When two members
of The Pride staff told me
they wanted to do a mock
debate for the paper, I
raised my eyebrows. I may
have also rolled my eyes.
We've all been inundated
with political information during this election
cycle, and I'm starting to
become a bit indifferent.
You might be, too. However, the issue of immigration is always on the edge
of our consciousness as
San Diegans. When Jillian
and Amy said they wanted
to debate a hypothetical
proposition,
involving
temporary closure of international borders, I gave it
some thought. This issue is
becoming more and more
polarized, and it may be
something we see on our
ballots at some point in
the future. The opinions
included in this debate do
not represent the beliefs of
any staff member at The
Pride, including Jillian and
Amy. They are assuming
roles as part of an exercise,
meant to teach and inform.
To put it another way, they
got sick of all the ugly debates during this election,
so they made an intelligent
one of their own. We've in-

is free and open to everyone.
The center is located on the
third floor of Craven Hall. The
Veterans Center is not an official school club; therefore, the
center does not receive an operating budget from CSUSM.
They welcome donations of
anything from DVDs to food.
As the population of student veterans grows, so does this community of men and women eager
to earn their degrees. For more

AS: Ok, well, I appreciate your points of view,
Jillian, but I believe that,
I differ slightly in my assessment of illegal immigration. First o f f , immigration has been a part of
this country since its inception. There would not
be an America without illegal immigration. There
wouldn't be diversity
without illegal immigration. There wouldn't be
an America without this
diversity that has come
here, whether through the
system or not, and that's
the bottom line. There are
ways to become a citizen
of this country legally,
and that is one of the arguments that I hear quite
often about illegal immigrants is that they choose
not to become a citizen.
They choose to not follow
the rules of the country
that they are wanting to
live in. But becoming a
citizen is one heck of a
process, and some people
come here with eight children and they don't have
the time, and they work 20
hours a day and they don't
have the money to buy
the books to study all the
things they get tested on.
Jillian Kerstetter: Yes, I
will start us o f f . One of
the main arguments that
is usually presented by a
lot of political parties, political news activists, everything like that, is that
illegal immigrants, however unfortunate their circumstances are from their
country, have repeatedly
taxed our own economy,
meaning having to accommodate illegal immigrants
or students in our schools,
them taking away jobs
from our working class.
It's just become more of
a problem for us than it
has really been helpful for
them. It's always been a
Catch-22 situation, but I
think at this point, we need
to take a step back possibly, and look at the potential damage that could be See DEBATE, p g4

potentially ourfederal sectors if we keep allowing
unregulated immigration,

From DEBATE, pg 3
It is illogical for many people
to go about legalizing themselves in the United States because they just can't do it. The
reason they come here is under
hardship, and when the country that suggests freedom and
equality imposes this on people
who just want a better life, it is
a contradiction in and of itself
JK: That is a very good point. And
surprisingly enough, I do agree
with some of them. We should be
a country that does as we claim,
takes in the tired, the weary, the
poor. And I alsoagree that this
is a country of immigrants. Like
every other country in the world,
we should have a system for becoming a citizen of this country.
If you can't follow that system,
you shouldn't be allowed in.
AS: You're right, countries
maintain regulation by imposing laws on anyone who wants
to be a part of that country. That
is not the illogical part. Perhaps what needs to be done is
to create less stringent rules on
what it takes to become a citizen. They just want to come to a
place where they can have a job.
JK: What is America saying to
those countries that these illegal
immigrants are coming from?
What about their own power as
a country to help their tired, their
weary, their poor? I think it's almost undermining them to say
that we offer this great refuge...
If you want to talk about the more
pertinent case in our scenario, of
California, considering this has
to come up. Obviously that is the
more pressing issue as far as illegal immigration. Why aren't we
extending a hand to the Mexican
government? Offering them solutions , you know, money, whatever to help rebuild their government that is failing their people?
AS: Well, although I can't name
specifically the things that this
country does for other countries,
I know based o f f , I don't know,
common knowledge that—we
don't—we're not passive. We are
not a passive country. We don't
stand by and allow for injustices
whether in our country or another. I think i f s unfair to suggest
that America is trying to take
on the problems of the world
because I don't think we are.

trying to take on necessarily every single problem of the world,

case-by-case basis. However, at
this point in time, it has been a
heated problem that many people
have many differing opinions on.
We need to get on the same page.

the problem. Policy is the problem. Once the United States gets

stop and realize that illegal immigration is not the problem, it's the
way we're spending our money.

War and veteran memorials
BY REBEKAH GREENE
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
To celebrate Veteran's Day,
students can take the time to
visit one or two of ijiany memorials spread throughout San
Diego County. Many of these
memorials are well-known tourist spots, while others reside like
hidden gems for the community to discover and appreciate.
With origins dating back to
1914, the Mount Soledad Memorial is one of the more recognizable memorials in San Diego.
The symbolic cross stands at 29
feet and is dedicated to Korean
War veterans. Surrounding the
cross are six walls of black granite, with thousands of memorial
plaques engraved with individual
stories to commemorate war veterans. Mount Soledad Memorial
holds a magnificent view of the
coast, placed high above La Jolla,
and serves as an important place
for visitors to take a glimpse
into history. This memorial is
open to the public from 7 a.m.
to 10 p.m. and is located along
La Jolla Scenic Drive South. For
specific driving directions, see
the memorial's site: http://www.
soledadmemorial.com/indexiitm.
Closer to San Marcos is the
Wall of Courage, a memorial in
Escondido's Grape Day Park.
The memorial is the result of
funds raised by a local elementary school, veterans' organizations, and the Escondido City
Council. The Wall of Courage
stands as a tribute to the men and
women who have served and continue to serve our country. The
statues consist of two men and a
woman standing in front of a wall
that is covered in plaques with
the names of those who served in
the military from World War I to
those who currently serve today.
Grape Day Park holds many more
memorials, including a Pearl
Harbor Memorial and a Veteran
Memorial dedicated to men and
women of all branches of service.
For directions and more information on the park's sites, visit:

photographs and other keepsakes.
The museum is open Tues through
Sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. There
is a $2 admission fee for Students with I.D. ( http://www.veteranmuseum.org/aboutus .html)

"All around me a voice was

this land was made for you and

("This Land is Your Land,"
Bruce Springsteen)
Found on Live 1975-1985, the
Boss's-rendition of Woody Guthrie's American classic features
Springsteen in fine form, making
a nice little tune ooze with emotion. Also in vintage Boss fashion, in this version the audience
hears a seemingly spontaneous
story to preface the performance.
Did you know "This Land is Your
Land" was written in response
to Irving Berlin's "God Bless
America" Woody disliked the
song and wrote "This Land" in
1940, in appreciation of the common people. It's a fine song, but
would I stick the original in my
iPod? Not a chance. But Springsteen's version? I already did.
song is "Changes," by Tupac
Shakur. It's reminiscent of a time
when rapping was more poetic
and less iTuiies Top 10Q. Even if
your own musical taste doesn't
include hip-hop, "Changes" has a
way of making people delve deep
into the significance of America's
mixed culture. It's 2010, and the
United States is still fighting issues of racism and eurocentric
dominance. We can take a few

Love Your Body event celebrates beauty
BY MAYA LIFTON
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
On Thursday, the CSUSM Women's Center threw its annual "Love
Your Body" event. The event included many booths where visitors could
get a henna tattoo, and stop by the
wellness center booth, where health
information was passed out, and resources on maintaining a healthy sex
life were available. In addition to
booths, the event was served food,
water, snacks, candy, and back and
hand massages. Thee event also
featured a red carpet where people
had the opportunity to strut down
with confidence and make the statement of "I am beautiful and proud."
Jenilee Remigio, the Communication Coordinator at the Women's Center said, "The purpose of the event is
for women to embrace their bodies
as who they are, what they look like,
and know that they are beautiful just
the way they are, and to challenge
society's beauty standards." Unfortunately, society has put a lot of pressure on women to look a certain way.
This pressure can be found mostly in
American media, which presents
certain images to young girls of
what a woman should look like
and what beauty is. TV comj mercials have also become much
r
more provocative. The only way
for women to completely break
I out of this ingrained body imf age idea is by completely loving
themselves, and throwing away
\ the idea that beauty only comes
in one form. It is the opposite,
I beauty comes in many forms.
Loving your body is an
important that the Women's
;
Center values. If you are dealing with body issues, have low
[ self esteem, or you just need
someone to talk to, feel wel§ come to visit the Women's
| Center on campus for support.

A student and a veteran
An insight look into the lives of military students
BY VANESSA CHALMERS
ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR
Honoring our Veterans is an annual tradition come Nov. 11. For those of us who
may not be directly linked to veteran, the
perception of one may often be misconceived as an older, pony-tailed grandpa,
eager to reminisce about the old days.
While many of our grandparents, indeed,
are veterans and worthy of that stereotype, the image is not all-encompassing.
At CSUSM, veterans walk our halls, are in
our classes, and share the same burdens of
student life as us. However, their academic
lives are tinged with the experiences that
only a life in the armed forces can bring.
When asked what one of the most challenging parts about returning to civilian
life as a student has been, vet Elijah Artiaga confesses, "Making friends." Having
come out of an camaraderie formed with
the people he served four years in the Marines with, finding people with common
life experiences has been a difficult mission but, Artiaga is not alone. The Veteran's Center at CSUSM, located in Cougar
Central, offers a common ground for veterans to hang out. Fellow vet Nighat Beg explains that after having served in* the Navy
for 10 years, the Veteran's Center has allowed her to meet people and make lasting
friendships outside of service. For Beg, her
challenge came in the form of fashion. "I
had to buy more civilian clothes!" she said.
Approaching college with years of
military experience in tow has definitely
instilled some beneficial learning tools
in many student vets. Responsibility and
punctuality are two things veteran Aaron
Green has been glad to apply to his academic career. "I come to class and hear
students make weak excuses about being late, because their alarm clocks were
broken, and I think, 'Really? Your alarm
clock was broken?'" Many veterans, like
Artiage, join the armed forces to fund their
college education, either attending school
while in service, or resuming their education after their service is complete. As a
result, student vets come to college with
more life experiences than the incoming
first years who transition to college straight
from high school. Often times, their experience in the service influences their career
path, like Beg, who explained that having
worked with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) patients in the Navy has
inspired her to pursue a graduate degree
in Social Work, specializing in PTSD.
For incoming student veterans, Beg encourages openmindedness. Moving from a
highly organized environment to one that is
more lax in time, duties, and even fashion,
it is important to "think outside the box"
and be open to new situations. As for the
upcoming holiday, our vets have veterans
of their own they would like to honor, such
as Green's friend Erik Wegmann in the
Navyfightingpiracy off the coast of Africa,
and Chad Geddes' family member Carlos
Ashlock, who went MIA during Vietnam.
As Nov. 11 draws near, The Pride
encourages you to remember to honor
the veterans past and present who have
dedicated their lives to make ours what
it is in this country: free, strong, and resilient. Thank you to Nighat Beg, Aaron
Green, Elijah Artiaga, Chad Geddes, and
Travis Riley for their contributions to this
piece and for their service to our country.

�Highlighting some of the most iconic war films
BY ASHLEY DAY
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Goriest War Film: Saving Private Ryan (1998)
Director Steven Spielberg propelled war movies to new heights with his adaptation of the horrific reality of
World War n . This action packed film, starring Tom Hanks as Capt. John H. Miller and an all- star cast (Matt
Damon, Edward Burns, and Tom Sizemore) set the standard for one of the most graphic battle scenes in a
movie. The first 15 minutes of "Saving Private Ryan" begins with the June 6 1944 and Allied troops storming of the beaches of Normandy, France. The worst part of this opening scene is a dying soldier lying on the
ground screaming for his mother while his entrails are falling out of his stomach. "Saving Private Ryan" is
not a movie for the faint hearted. The film wonfiveAcademy Awards.
Honorable Mention: Black Hawk Down (2001)
Best Depiction of the War on Terrorism: The Hurt Locker (2009^
Last March, "The Hurt Locker" scored six Academy Awards (including Best Picture) making Kathryn
Bigelow thefirstfemale director to win Best Picture. Jeremy Renner plays the lead as Sergeant First Class
William James, leader of a highly trained bomb disposal team. Set in the year 2004 in Baghdad, the movie
focuses not on political or social problems, but the hardships of a soldier's tour of duty. Dangerous bomb
diffusion scenes reveal the skill it takes to survive in a place where nobody can be trusted. "The Hurt Locker"
shows the intensity and stress war can put on the soldier.
Honorable Mention: No End In Sight (2007)
Best Romance in a War Film: Gone With The Wind (1939)
"Gone With The Wind" appeared at a time in American history when life in our country was bleak. The country had suffered through the Great Depression and World War II was engulfing all of Europe. The plot of the
film - the tumultuous period of the Civil War - paralleled to the catastrophe Americans were suffering through
during "Gone With The Wind's" release. Thisfilmbecame an instant American classic. Clark Gable (Rhett
Butler) and Vivian Leigh (Scarlett O' Hara) portray one of the most heart wrenching romances in a movie.
O'Hara suffers through losing her status, husbands, innocence and strength, a child, and ultimately, her true
love (Butler).
Honorable Mention: Casablanca (1942)
Least Historically Accurate: The Patriot (2001)
Set in 1776, during the American Revolution, "The Patriot," follows the life of Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) a French-Indian war hero. Martin lives as a farmer in South Carolina with his seven children. Martin
remembers the brutality of the French-Indian war and decides to remain on the sidelines of the Revolution,
until his family is endangered by British troops. Some of the inconsistencies of this film are a torching of a
church full of people (never happened), slaves being able to enlist in war (never would have happened) and
an unfair exaggeration of British aggression toward Americans. This film did not make as much as it was
projected to at the box office.
Honorable Mention: Pearl Harbor (2001)
Best Philosophical Message in a War Film: Apocalypse Now (1979)
"Apocalypse Now" explores the madness of the Vietnam War. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, "Apocalypse Now" delves into the minds of Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) and Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando)
during one of the most horrid wars in history. Cpt. Willard is sent to kill an insane Kurtz, but this journey
changes Willard in ways he did not know possible. Coppola explores human nature and the darkness war can
instill on the human mind.
Honorable Mention: All Quiet On The Western Front (1930)

THE FIGHT CONTINUES in Call of Duty: Black OPS
New enhanced technology enables multiplayers to enjoy new missions in a whole new way
BY FAITH ORCINO
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
The war rages on as "Call
of Duty: Black Ops" arrives in stores on Nov. 9.
Developer Treyarch and game
publisher Activision brings players back to the Cold War. This
new installment of the "Call
of Duty" game series is a sequel to "Call of Duty: World at
War.*' The game will be available for the PS3, Xbox 360,
Nintendo DS, Wii and PCs.
For the collectors within the
community, the limited Hardened
Edition includes the game in a
metallic case with four special
co-op maps, an exclusive Xbox
Live/PlayStation Network avatar and a medal in a display case.
For the die-hard fans, the limited
Prestige Edition package includes
the Hardened Edition set plus a
remote-controlled vehicle that
looks similar to the new RC-XD
killstreak with its remote. The
Prestige Edition is only available
for Xbox 360 and PS3 systems.
According to the game's official website (www.callofduty.
com/blackops),players have more
options to their gaming experience. Unlike the previous games,
"Black Ops" offers the choice
of changing the looks of the soldiers. It is one of the newest additions in multiplayer game-play.
Other additions include
Theater Mode, wager matches,
and new killstreaks. The re-,
turn of Treyarch also brings
the return of the zombie co-op
mode, where two players fight
an endless army of zombies.
"Call of Duty: World at War"
was the first to have this mode in
the game. In the single-player
campaign feature, gamers follow the path of a Black Ops
member. Players enter the Cold
War into secret missions and international conflicts. Whether it
is an online multiplayer match
or a new chapter of the campaign, "Call of Duty: Black
Ops" is a brand-new way to play.
