St. Valentine's D ay
Commercialized holiday sours the sweetness of love
BY SANDRA CHALMERS
Senior Staff Writer
People t raditionally view
F ebruary 14 as the day to celebrate love, to remember love,
and to make love, but in 2009,
the holiday may be m ore about

V alentine's Day is celebrated
in m ost c ountries as a day to

THE PRIDE
St. Valentine's Day is more
than cards and flowers
BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
Every year around
February 14, there
is a rise in the purchase of lacy cards,
fancy jewelry, overpriced flowers, and
heart shaped candy.
Over the years, society lost the roots of this day,
commonly referred to as "Valentine's Day."
First off, the day is not just
called "Valentine's Day." Valentine is not a term of endearment. It is a name. Valentine
lived in the third century and
was a bishop in Rome. Many
Christian faiths recognize Valentine as a martyr and a saint.
The Roman Catholic Church
celebrates his life on February
14th, thus the day is properly
titled, Saint Valentine's Day.
Due to the contributions of S t Valentine,
the day became synonymous with romantic
endeavors. Understanding the life of Saint Valentine makes the day
much more romantic.
Valentine lived in the
day« of ancient Rome
where he worked as a
priest. In secret, he presided over marriages
of Christian couples,
saving them from persecution. By helping these
'criminals' of the state,
and for not renouncing
his faith, St. Valentine
was tortured and
beheaded.
February 14th is
a day to honor St.
Valentine's work, by
doing special deeds
for one's sweetheart
or beloved. It can
also be a day one
finds a person to
court. It is not a day
for consumerism. St. Valentine's
Days is not a corporate holiday.
The story of St. Valentine is true,
as evidenced by the finding of his
tomb.
Gifts are nice things, but the
intention of the present should
have some meaning. One should
keep in mind why the day is special and where the origin lies. It
is not a say for hooking up or one
night stands. It is a day about true
and undying love, in honor of a
man who served the world though
his commitment to love.

A merican Heart Month
BY CHRIS SHAW
Pride Staff Writer
February serves as a special
month that honors black history
and Valentine's Day. But while
black history and Valentine's
Day may receive the spotlight of
public attention, February is also
American Heart Month. As health
remains a great concern for a large
percentage of Americans, American Heart month acts as a more
pivotal component ofpublic health
awareness. American Heart month
provides every United States
citizen the reminder that health
knowledge will improve the overall quality of life and potentially
save lives in the process.
Each year Congress requires
the president to declare February
as American Heart Month. Volunteers for the American Heart
Association devote their time to
spread information about cardiovascular diseases in American
Heart Month. These volunteers
help to raise funds for research
and provide extensive information
about various heart conditions and
heart diseases. The annual proclamation of American Heart Month
has been performed since 1963.
The American Heart Association
communicates with the presidential "administration in order to
draft and sign the annual proclamation."
According to the American
Heart Association, cardiovascular diseases are the "nation's No.
1 killer." Coronary heart disease
is the leading cause of death in the
United States. Stroke is the third
leading cause of death and serious
disability in the United States as
well. As heart disease remains
the leading cause of death in the
United States, American Heart
Month serves as a significant part
of health awareness in the United
States.
A variety of factors contribute
to the source of heart disease or
stroke. Factors include obesity,
smoking, unhealthy nutritional
habits, lack of physical exercise,
and other factors such as hereditary conditions. While these factors can be treated on an individual level, US citizens can make a
difference in health awareness by
contacting the nation's policymakers and representatives. The proclamation of the American Heart
Month shows the effectiveness of
public interaction with our government. Supporters of American Heart Month raise funds that
improve public healthcare programs. Legislators support public
health by funding healthcare programs, medical research, increasing smoke-free workplaces, and
advocating for physical education
and better nutrition
in schools.
The American
Cancer Society
and the American Heart Association experienced a recent success when president Barack Obama increased
the federal cigarette tax to over $1
per pack. This new tobacco law
will become a measure that will
heavily decrease smoking rates.
The American Heart Association
supports tobacco control initiatives in order to promote healthy
lifestyles. While this law will
decrease the rate of smoking, the
American Cancer Society and the
American Heart Association continue to encourage public action.
The cure for heart disease
remains in the hands of the public.
Therefore the public must individually and collectively take measures to ensure healthy living. In
the event ofa heart attack or stroke,
an individual should call 911 for
an emergency response. A person
should be cautionary if he or she
experiences chest discomfort,
discomfort in other areas of the
upper body, shortness of breath,
or breaking out in cold sweat/
nausea. The most common heart
attack symptom is chest pain, but
women are somewhat more likely
than men to experience some of
the other common symptoms.
Heart attack or not, somebody
who experiences any of these
symptoms is encouraged to tell
a doctor. For more information

Jam Control So you think you can dance?
BY KEVIN CHATHAM
Pride Staff Writer
Jam Control is a student organization at
CSUSM that focuses on building a student
community through the artistic expression
of movement.
Jam Control aims to celebrate the love of
d ance, t o c ollaborate a nd w elcome o thers,
and to bring out new dancers or dancers
that just want to share their experience with
others. Jam Control stands for "Justifying
Artistic Movement, Collaboration of New
Talent, Recognizing Our Love."
Dancers and instructors work collaboratively to ensure an environment that fosters
exploration and innovation. "It does not just
relate to dancing, but how it relates to collaborating with anyone and everyone that
has a passion and the drive to build a sense
of community and
unity in our campus
and society," said
Jam Control's club
president Randy Saldivar.
Jam Control had
its first debut at
CSUSM in 2000,
because a group of
students wanted to
celebrate the art of
CSUSM. With a weekly attendance average
of around forty-five members, Jam Control
is here to stay.
Originally conceptualized to celebrate
the art of hip-hop, Jam Control appreciates
all dance styles. "Jam Control is focusing on becoming a World Dance Student
Organization, meaning we have been, and

Black History Month exclusive
Interview with BSU President
BY MATT LEWIS
Pride Staff Writer
As part of our Black History Month fourpart feature, The Pride recently interviewed
Black Student Union president, Adam Rajah
Gainey. Keep a lookout for more Black History Month exclusives throughout this issue
and in upcoming issues.
Matt Lewis:
Tell us about
yourself.
Adam Rajah
Gainey:
My
name is Adam
Rajah Gainey,
I'm 26 years
old, and I've
, been a student
at CSUSM for 2
years.
ML: What is
the Black Student Union?
ARG: Basically the BSU is mostly made
up of African American students, and it was
developed to be a social organization/club,
so that people can socialize and find ways
into other clubs, be active on campus, and
participate in community services/social
events. It's a little different since we (African-Americans) are such a big minority
here on campus, so its purpose is to explore
different areas and bring to light some different issues on campus. _
ML: How many students are involved
with BSU?
ARG: On our roster, we have about 60
members with 40 or so of them active, as
in helping at the tables and social events on
campus. It is hard since this is a commuter
school to get everyone together at a set time,
as well as keeping the meetings fun and relevant to events on campus.
ML: Does the BSU have a set meeting
time/place?
ARG: Yes, every Thursday during the
U-Hour (12-12:50 pm) in a new room now,
which I believe is University Hall 443. We
have our first [members] meeting coming
up next week, and we usually have officers
meetings once a week. The officer's board
has seven different chairs, which include
President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, two publishers, and a photographer. We
try to tie in the meetings to different social
events happening on campus, for example
events tied to Black History Month.
ML: Does the BSU have any plans for
events during Black History Month?
ARG: We are co-sponsoring a few events,
including the "February One" film next
Tuesday, which explores the story of the
four college freshmen students during the
Civil Rights Movement who started the sitins. This helped revitalize the Civil Rights
Movement because at the time, it was a big
social movement that had
"stalled out"
for several reasons.
Their recommitment to the
cause helped
get a lot of college students,
both
black
and white, to
participate
in sit-ins and
ride-alongs all
around the country. So it is another unique
perspective of history as opposed to the traditionally celebrated characters of Black
History month like Martin Luther King Jr.,
Rosa Parks, etc. ;
We try to put out unique stories that
would be a good learning experience for
both us and other people on campus.
We are also co-sponsoring a hip-hop
concert-previewing event, hosted by the
Breaks (which are a local group) who have
performed on campus befbre. »akoig*.,
ML: Any more information on the Black
Historyfilmsbeing shown on campus?
ARG: One other film, which we are not
sponsoring but are helping to advertise for,
is "Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard
Rustin." He was a prominent civil rights
activist who was unique because he was
one of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s aides
and helped coordinate a lot of logistics
and planning for events like the march on
Washington. The media did not give him
adequate praise at the time because he was
openly gay, which is pretty relevant now
especially with the debates on the right to
marriage going on. So it gives you a different perspective on the Civil Rights Movement, where someone can be responsible
for great things and be overlooked until
modern times.
ML: Does the BSU collaborate with any
other groups?
ARG: No, not yet, but we are hoping to
get involved with groups like the NAACP
"We try to put out
unique stories that
would be a good learning experience for both
us and other people
on campus."-Gainey
group in Oceanside, and also the local Boys
and Girls Club. It would be ideal to set up a
program where some of our members could
go and volunteer there, because with the
budget cuts they have a lot less money for
staff. Hopefully, we can try and get a small
group to help out with that this semester.
ML: With the election of President Obama,
what would you like to
see happen for the future
of the black community
on campus and in San
Diego County?
ARG: I think that it
is a historic time, and
like Barack Obama said,
we really need to start
trying different things
and not being afraid to
collaborate with other
people. For example, in
his administration, his
best work has always
been around a diverse
group of people. I think
for myself and others
included, it's not very
often that you see a lot
of successful couples. So
the fact that he is married and has kids, that
family unit, hasn't really
been a strong suit in our
community because of
social issues and stuff. It is really good to
see that, a strong father, a wife, and what
you can accomplish with hard work. So
hopefully it will get some young guys and
girls into doing different things, bettering
themselves and most of all, trying to make
a difference.

A night I will never forget
BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
In my mind, Ifiguredsomebody
was either lost or needed help. So,
I wanted to get to the door as quick
as I could. I grabbed my glasses,
but it was dark and I still could not
see anything in my room.
Since it was hot and I was only
sleeping in shorts, I pulled the comforter off my bed and wrapped it
around myself rather than trying to
find a shirt. I was under the impression I would have to open the door,
give some directions, and go back
to sleep.
When I opened the door, I saw
a young man and woman standing there with beer cans in their
As an RA, I am required to run
to any situation that may be unfolding. Yet, one of the most unique
instances I have ever had came to
me.
One weekend in August, Stone
Brewery held an anniversary party
on campus. That same weekend,
the RAs were going to Big Bear for
a retreat after training. After packing, I went to bed early because we
were leaving around 6AM. In the
late hours of the night, I was woken
by a couple knocking on my door.
hands. I could hardly see, but they
looked over 21. The man spoke to
me and asked what I was doing. I
was stunned. Apparently, he could
notfigureout that I was sleeping as
evidenced by the look on his face.
He asked me why I was not partying on a Friday night. He rambled on until I gathered my words
and told him soliciting was not
allowed. After all, he was being a
disturbance and he had to leave. He
gave a confused look, and realized
I was an RA.
He said he was a graduate of
CSUSM and was in town for the
Stone Brewery event and came to
the UVA to party on a Friday night.
I then told him he had to leave and
that I was going to escort him out.
He began to walk away, but
when he realized I was following
him, he turned and got in my face.
I stood there wrapped in my comforter as he shouted insults three
inches from my face. The smell of
cheap beer on his breath was overwhelming.
As I reminded him of UVA
policy that he needed to leave, he
threatened to hit me. I was scared,
but I almost laughed when he
pointed to a pair of moles near my
right eye and said he would give
me another mark like that. I sarcastically told him that would be
impossible.
The female friend of his finally
got him to back down, and they
left. When I got back to my room,
I called my supervisor and let her
know what happened. She told me
to call UPD and let them know to
keep and eye out for him. A while
later, I got a call saying he was
picked up for public intoxication.
Ask any RA. They will tell you
a story just like this one. Now I am
an expert at removing crazy and
creepy people to keep my residents
safe.
Business leaders' experiences brought to C SUSM
C oBA course incorporates executive-level guests
BY DIANA VALDIVIA
Pride Staff Writer
The College of Business
Administration currently offers
a course inspired by Bravo's
television series, "Inside the
Actor's Studio." "In the Executive's Chair" is a course where
professors Rajnandini " Raj"
Pillai and David Bennett host
senior executives who give students advice from their own
real life business experiences.
"In the Executive's Chair" is
part of The Center for Leader-
ship Innovation and Mentorship
Building (CLIMB).
Guest speakers come to share
their knowledge, words of
advice, and strategies, which
provide students with a better
understanding of the real business world. Guests also share
their expertise on how they
became
business
leaders.
Among other concepts, business leaders pass on the value
of the challenges and sacrifices that the business world
includes. One unique detail
about this class is that students
are able to ask questions to the
guest speakers.
"In the Executive's Chair" is
not only for students enrolled in
MGMT 432. The discussions are
open to other students and the
business community. The series
runs through April. Located in
Markstein Hall 125, the class
meetings are from 11:20 a.m. to
12:50 p.m. on Wednesdays.
"It gives students a chance to
listen to their careers," Bennett
said.
"Listening, in person, to the
executive, being able t a spend
time with them one on one after
the class, ask them questions,
shake their hand and do some
networking if they desired,"
Bennett explained as the "touch
and feel" concept students can
benefit from.
Tyler Stoll, a student enrolled
in Executive's Chair, explained
that it is not like any other class
he has had.
"They all give specific examples and one thing that they want
you to leave with. It is not all
about bookwork," said Stroll. "It
is about real experiences."
"You get to learn from CEOs
firsthand from what has made
them successful and failures that
you can learn from," another
student, Jonathan Curry, added.
"Instead of learning from books,
you are able to learn from people
in different industries from real
life instances."
Chief Executive & Senior VP
from Scripps Green Hospital,
Robin Brown, will be the next
guest speaker on Feb. 11. For
this semester's speaker schedule,

�THE PRIDE
BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
This weekend packs a punch
with its action and romance
releases. This week's crop features several big name actors
and directors in f ilms that may
be quite e ntertaining.
Arts & Entertainment
First, German director Tom
Tykwer brings "The International." Tykwer, the director
of the modern foreign classic "Run Lola Run," now features an American cast in a
story about a corrupt international bank. Clive Owen and
Naomi Watts star in the leading roles.
Though the story
of one man bringing
down a corrupt organization has been done
to death through James
Bond, Jason Bourne*
and Jack Bauer, this
could be an entertaining action f ilm. It all
depends on how well
the twists and t urns
are laid out. Tykwer
is a good storyteller
as evidenced by his
German work, and his
recent English f ilm,
" Perfume."
For those who have
already seen "He's Just
Not That Into You,"
and need a rom-com
for St. Valentine's Day, look
no f urther than "Confessions
of a Shopaholic." Isla Fischer
, stars in this tale of an obsessive and excessive shopper
t rying to land a j ob at a fashion magazine and balance her
life. Though consumerism is
dead during this economic
crisis, many young ladies will
f ind this an entertaining f ilm.
"Two Lovers" is an alternate romance f ilm for those
looking for a more serious
f ilm. This drama stars Joaquin
Phoenix as a heartbroken man looking to
rebuild himself. In
the process, he f alls
for two women at the
same time. He must
choose between the
two women and faces
the consequences in
this drama. The end
of this f ilm is obvious
f rom the trailer. The
protagonist will have f un with
both women, but viewers will
know the conclusion before he
does. With modern romances

such as "Two Lovers," the f ilm
is about the j ourney rather
than the end. Yet, the j ourney is less exciting when one
knows where it is g oings
An alternate route to getting close to someone this St.
Valentine's Day is to hold him
or her tight while
watching the remake of "Friday
the 13th." Since the remakes
of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Halloween," it
was only a matter of time
before Jason and his hockey
mask got an update - it's c onvenient. This Friday happens
to be the 13th as well. I have
simple expectations about this
f ilm. Several people will gp to
Camp Crystal Lake and die. If
this slasher f ilm can emphasize tension over violence,
it may be
worth a
watch. Or, one
could get the immortally creepy original.
Attention all students!

Hits of Sunshine
Sonic Youth
BY AMY SALISBURY
Faces & Places Editor
My intention is to write a column
exploring what I believe to be musicians'
^ essential works that any devoted music
lover can, well, love. With any luck, that
may very well be how this thing ends
•up.
...
After 15 studio albums, 28 active
years, and the redefinition of the rock
guitar sound, one might assume Sonic
Youth have a fair amount of street cred.
They should, since all four members are
old enough to be our parents. Thurston
Moore, lead vocalist and husband of
bassist Kim Gordon, formed Sonic Youth
in 1981 with Lee Ranaldo, lead guitarist.
Drummer Steve Shelley completed the
cast when he joined in 1985.
Although I wouldn't necessarily deem
Hits 6f Sunshine (for Allen Ginsberg),
off 1998's A Thousand Leaves, as the
pivotal Sonic Youth experience, a certain power rests in the epic, 11-minute jam sweetly sandwiched between
Moore's subdued vocal performance.
Stripped from any harmony or modern
effects, abstract, breathy words convey
a world so purely in the style Ginsberg
explored.
Ginsberg's legendary stream of consciousness writings reclassified poetry
during the Beat Generation's height of
creativity in the 1950s. Just as Moore
and Ranaldo embrace non-conformity

Pride Staff Writer
in their compositions, so the Beats
expanded upon classic poetic styles.
What makes this song so special
is the lyrics' ability to stand on their
own without the support of any music,
regardless of its innovation. Believe
me, with imagery like, "the lights
will blind up with blues in haiku/the
shadow has a dream where painters
look to sea," these twisted verses could
easily stand up to any coffeehouse recitation this side of San Francisco.
The rounded, cool lines end far too
early as the listener encounters the
haunting noises Sonic Youth are so
keen on including in their work. The
tempo seems mellow as the band's
extraordinary grasp of organic sound
fills the already clouded atmosphere.
In keeping with Ginsberg's groove,
Ranaldo's lead guitar reflects the chaotic, nearly melody-free body of the
song. No discernable pattern exists,
making duplication of any measure
virtually impossible. Who would want
to try, anyway?
Suddenly, Moore's ethereal tenor
returns like it never left. Echoing rhymes past, the steady drone of
guitar, drums, and bass combined with
the even lyrics surprisingly produce a
lull until gently fading out. Never in
my life would I expect to feel calmed
after a Sonic Youth encounter, but to
this weary listener, the respite is welcome.

THE PRIDE
This week in DVD's there is no smooth
sailing. Only by going into the vault could
someone find a great movie. Two documentaries fell short of their potential and
the Hollywood movie factory feature sunk
faster than the Titanic, with the incredible
waste of time and money on "Pineapple
Express." I still can't decide who was more
foolish, me for wasting two hours and four
bucks or the studio wasting their millions
and the celluloid for the film.
"F*ck: A Documentary"
Sometimes, everything seems to fall into
place. In the morning, the story broke about
Christian Bale unleashing an F-bomb fury
on a set worker whilefilmingthe new Terminator movie. One might offhandedly dismiss the premise of this film, thinking it a
way to quickly make superfluous amounts
of money through the gratuitous use of the
word 'f*ck\ This film is, however, a middleweight attempt to create a public intercourse about the most fundamental of our
freedoms, the freedom of speech. If your
sensibilities are easily disturbed, this film
will shock you with more than 800 uses of
the word f*ck. If you are desensitized, then
thefilmwill not likely shocked you.
This movie could have carried out a very
serious discussion about the wider implications of censorship in our country, but it
does not. It could have pushed for an open
debate on the subject, but it instead makes
light of any potential debate and provides
fluffy opinions from people on both sides
o fthe issue, t he two sides are; yotTKTS?"
free speech, or you're for decency. This is
an overly simplistic view of the issue. This
pillow-y treatment of the issue leaves no
feathers ruffled, and there is insufficient
passion for the defense of our freedom
of speech, a founding core value of our
democracy. In spite of the fact this film is
less than hard hitting, and avoids fanning
the flames of discussion, it does present
an issue that we should all be concerned
about, regardless of our views. Liberal,
Conservative, or Moderate in your politics,
you should see this film with friends and
make sure you never stop the discussion
about the importance of our freedom of
speech, for f*ck sake.
Soft-hearted 'What to See' ***
"Pineapple Express"
For the first time in my life, after seeing
this movie, I logged onto the web to see what
other reviewers thought about this film. I
thought that maybe I missed something.
I didn't. The only scene possessing even a
small chuckle, for a sober viewer, was featuring Bill Hader from SNL as Private
Miller. This opening scene lasts for only a
couple of minutes. Thisfilmso desperately
tries to be a buddy actionflick,wrapped in
an E-Z Wider. The wrapper is clearly evident throughout the whole hazy picture.
The script was apparently written under the
influence. The acting is pedestrian, and there
was simply nothing in thefilmthat provides
any return on the investment of time wasted
watching this bummer. Had I seen it at the
theatre, I wouldn't have only demanded my
money back, but I would have demanded
the two hours of my life back as well. It may
well be that in the proper "frame of mind,"
there may be some enjoyment to be found
here, but there are simply too many good
films out there to enjoy, to waste yourself
on this one.
Chronic 'What to Miss' *
"14 Women"
The documentary chronicles the lives
of 14 women who serve as United States
Senate. This film greatly undershoots the
mark in offering insight into the lives of
these dedicated public servants. In attempting to show that these energetic, caring and
driven women not only see to the needs of
the millions of constituents they represent, but that they also have daily family
responsibilities just like you and me. In
this regard, the viewer will no doubt come
away with a greater respect for the work
these women do. The manner in which
this film displays these everyday champions of 'we the people' lacks any sense of
cohesiveness and contains no narrative.
jumps from one*
Senator to the next, using candid clips and
interviews interchangeably, and does so
without any apparent rhyme or reason. I
so wanted to recommend this film when I
selected it for this weeks review, but unfortunately the weakness of the film, incredibly, outweighs the strengths of 14 great
women Senators combined.
'What to Miss'Barely**
"A Day at the Races"
This is a greatfilmfromthe Vault. If you
have never seen the greatness that is the
Marx brothers, then this movie will provide
the best introduction to their comic genius.
While 70 years may have left a patina on
thisfilm,even now you can see the bold and
brazen innuendo that Groucho Marx created decades ahead of his time. This movie
immensely helped the mood of our country
while it was emerging from the first Great
Depression. Perhaps now, as much as ever,
we can all use a good laugh.

A refreshing gentle boost
Diet Lemon Iced T ea
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Senior Staff Writer
Snapple Beverage Corporation distributes Diet Lemon Iced
Tea from their headquarters in
Rye Brook, New York. Leonard Marsh, Hyman Golden,
and Arnold Greenburg grew up
together as friends. Originally, the
trio sold purefruitdrinks to health
conscious stores.
The Snapple name came from
one of their originalfruitflavored
drinks. The apple flavored drink
tasted snappy, giving birth to the
company's world famous name.
Snapple Lemon Tea debuted
as the first product in 1987. Currently, the company sells nearly 70
flavors of tea to over 81 countries.
A 20 fluid ounce plastic bottle
of Snapple Diet Lemon Iced Tea
retails between $2-3. Although the
glass tea bottle offers the popular random fact under the
bottle cap such as a gold
fish's attention span is
three seconds, the plastic version can be taken
anywhere a tea connoisseur desires.
The diet version has
zero calories making the
drink a perfect choice for
many still working on
their New Year's resolution to consume healthier
products. The tea is also
made from natural lemon
flavors, amongst other
natural flavors.

enjoyed the semester tradition
of browsing during Cougar
Bazaar. Imre Papp shows up
each semester to display his
wares for the CSUSM community. Although Papp frequents
street fairs and shows, he
states that he enjoys CSUSM
for its "light atmosphere" and
"friendly students."
Papp
takes pride in the quality of
his garments. He just wants to
sell "good clothes to good students "
"I just love the prices," said
CSUSM community member,
Chelsea Taylor.
While browsing the tees,
Taylor described her style as
eclectic, "a mix between I don't
give a fuck, and I am beautiful
After a slight shaking the tea
pours thin releasing a hint of fresh
lemon. A murky reddish brown
illuminates the tea glass filled to
the brim with ice cubes. The fluid
easily passes through the lips
and into the mouth. A refreshing
charge of lemony zest energizes
all aspects of the mouth. The diet
tea does not taste as bold as the
regular tea but the trade off for
zero calories balances the discrepancy. Add a slice of lemon to the
brim for extra zing. The tea pairs
well with light lunches such as
tuna sandwiches and chef salads.
The small doses of caffeine

treat for any Cougar during a day
of rigorous classes. Next time,

or under a tree with a fellow classmate. Cheers!
enough to wear anything."
Taylor's shopping companion Alix Fidel also loves shopping.
A frequent Cougar Bazaar
shopper, Fidel added ", the guy
who works here is really nice."
Fidel describes her style as
"classic, clean and tailored."
Two women, two different
style philosophies: same love
of bargain buys.
The clothes on display
appeal to the average college
student. There is a great variety of shirts and an awesome
array of sassy scarves.
The style is reminiscent of
brands such as Pacsun and
Sun Diego. The clothes match
the classic California beach
aesthetic. In other words, the
clothes are laidback.
In general, the vibe is youthful, vivacious and carefree.
The garments are very rea-
sonably priced ranging from
$8.00-$35.00, although the
vast majority are priced under
$20.00.
I still recall my purchase
last semester, a gray jersey
cardigan that I was planning
to buy from Urbanoutfitters
for a mere $12.00. Originally,
the same jersey cardigan was
available online for $30.00.
I got it for less than half the
price. Needless to say, I was
ecstatic and decided it was in
my best interest to buy another
cardigan the next day.
Overall, I purchased two
cardigans for a price less then
the original. I left satisfied
and my wallet was equally
grateful.
If you have the patience
and time I would recommend
browsing through
Papp's
clothes, you never know what
you'll find.
Five movies to watch on Valentine's Day
Women and men will enjoy any of these movies
BY DIANA VALDIVIA
Pride Staff Writer
Sometimes it's hard to find
one movie that you and your
. significant nthpr wmilH Vintfo
like to watch. Here are 5
movie picks that couples can
watch together on Valentine's
Day.
1. P.S. I Love You
I might be a bit biased on
this pick since it is one of my
favorite movies of all the time
but I can ensure that it is definitely worth watching if you
have not already done so. You

will laugh and cry, and laugh
some more with this great
movie.
2. Knocked Up!
Not as much of a guy movie
.as. "Superbad". yet not as much
of a girl movie as "27 Dresses."
"Knocked Up!" is a hilarious comedy that will have you
laughing for quite some time.
3. Kung Fu Panda
"Kung Fu Panda" is a quirky
animated comedy about the
unexpected hero that will make
you cheer for him throughout
the movie. You are never too
old to watch this movie.
4 .1 Am Legend
Will Smith hardly disappoints his audience and "I am
Legend" is not an exception. "I
Am Legend" has the scary and
suspense elements that both of
you will love.
5. Dark Knight
If you have not seen "The
Dark Knight" yet you are definitely missing out. It might be
long movie to sit through but
it will not disappoint you. The
suspense will keep you at the
edge of your seat and did I mention there is a love story within
the main plot?

Candidates Visit Campus
Hoping to Collect Student Votes
By: Steve Compian
Pride Staff Writer
An audience that fluctuated
between 50 and 70 CSUSM
students listened to congressional
and assembly candidates speak
during a forum held outside the
Dome on November 2.
Reactions from people in
attendance were positive. Both
listeners and speakers enjoyed
what they hoped would be a recurring activity held at the school.
"I think it's a pretty good
forum," said Social Science major
Joe Gonzales. "It's a good chance
for students to hear third-party
candidates, too." Gonzales, however, added, "I wish it could be a
little longer."

Global Warming
»Articlecont from page 1
What is global warming?
Global warming, explained
Professor Vouriitis, is a natural
phenomenon. The Earth is much
warmer than can be accounted
for by its proximity to the sun.
Carbon dioxide is emitted into
the atmosphere from microorganisms living under the soil and
as a bi-product of plant respiration. This carbon dioxide traps
heat from the sun, thus warming
the planet.
Since approximately 1850,
however, levels of atmospheric
carbon dioxide have risen from
a steady 250 parts per million to
current levels of 350-36$ parts
per million. Vouriitis emphasized that this rise in carbon
dioxide levels coincides almost
exactly with the advent of the
Industrial Revolution and a dramatic increase in the combustion
of petroleum-based fuels. The
"smoking gun," to use Vouriitis'
term, implicates human activity
in global warming and lies in
chemical analysis of atmospheric,
carbon dioxide.

Candidates
Hold
Forum at
CSUSM
»Article cont. from page 1
Not everyone in the audience,
however, was a CSUSM student.
Retiree Jack Jeffries came to the
forum to hear how die candidates
stood on the issue of senior citizens and their prescription medication payments.
Some of the other issues that
were discussed were abortion and
health insurance for college students.
Carol Herrera, whose husband, John, is seeking the 74
assembly seat, said, "I thought the
forum was a marvelous opportunity to get the views of the
candidates. It let's the young people think through the views of
today."
Candidate John Herrera
echoed his wife's comments by
saying, "I'm happy to be at this
forum. These are the future leaders of our community. Things are
going to change for the better,
but only if students get involved."
Mr. Herrera closed by saying,
"I'd definitely like to see more
forums like these."
George Barraza, who is running against Duke Cunningham
for the 51 Congressional District,
felt CSUSM was an excellent setting for talking with the voters. "I
think it's a n ideal forum, especially since students are educated and well informed. Hopefully

produce carbon dioxide with a
heavy Carbon-13 atom. Carbon
dioxide produced by the combustion of petroleum fuels produces a light Carbon-12 atom. At
this point, scientists have verified that the recent increases in
atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are made up of carbon dioxide
molecules containing the light
Carbon-12 atom. This analysis is
so precise at the molecular level
that scientists have been able to
trace excess carbon dioxide in the
Alaskan atmosphere to a specific
type of coal burned in antiquated
Eastern European furnaces.
Global warming research in
Alaska
The arctic regions provide the
optimum conditions for Vouriitis'
research due to their ultra-sensitivity to changes in temperature. These regions represent a
climatic "canary in a coal mine,"
to use his turn of phrase. This
sensitivity allowed Vouriitis to
study a subtler phenomenon of
global warming.
As temperatures rise, the
Arctic permafrost emits more carbon dioxide due to the increased
activity of organisms living
underground. Eventually, this
increased emission overtakes the
carbon dioxide removed from the
atmosphere by plants during photosynthesis. This excess carbon
dioxide results in further warmforums like this will occur earlier
and will become the requirement
for candidates."
Congressional
candidate
Bourdette urged the students to
vote, "Most of the young people
age 18 to 22 don't vote. In the last
election Bill Clinton only received
37 million votes. You represent
a huge block of voters if you'd
only get together in your own self
interests."
Robin Milch, ASI Vice
President for External Affairs,
organized the public assembly
and also served as the moderator
for the open forum. Milch kept
the forum running smoothly,
even when some lively sparring
occurred between congressional
candidate Barraza and Durckel,
who was there to represent
Cunningham. The mud slinging
hapipened after Barraza was asked
by a student what he would
change if elected.
Barraza said he would be
more responsive to local problems. " During the energy crisis,
Bob Filner came back from
Washington, so did Brian Bilbray.
He [Cunningham] couldn't find
time to leave then and he isn't
here now either. He just doesn't
care."
Durckel countered with,
"Congressman Cunningham
couldn't be here because he is
busy working on the federal budget." He then made a comment
about Barraza's aggressiveness.
Barraza wasted little time in
retaking the podium, and even
accused Cunningham of being
physically abusive while serving
in Congress.

Channel 17).
ing and takes on a kind of "snowball effect".
Vouriitis' research verified
that this phenomenon was, in fact,
taking place in Northern Alaska.
This research also revealed a
more startling and previously
only hypothesized trend of global
warming. Over a period of years,
Vouriitis was able to ~ observe
arctic plant life increasing their
uptake of carbon dioxide, apparently in response to increases in
nutrient availability caused by
long-term global warming. The
plants seem to be evolving in
response to the selection .pressures of global warming. More
accurately, and even more striking, the Arctic ecosystem itself
seems to be trying to reestablish
equilibrium through the increased
carbon dioxide uptake of the
plants. As Vouriitis' area of expertise is Ecology/ Evolution, the
opportunity to observe such an
extraordinary phenomenon was
particularly gratifying to him.

increased incidence of tropical
diseases* in temperate areas,
increased soil erosion, and more
frequent and severe wildfires,
among other phenomenon can be
expected over the next 50 years if
current patterns of global warming continue." Vouriitis emphasized that as dire as the consequences of global warming may
be, the solutions are simple and
within the control of everyone.
Possible solutions for global

global warming?
Basic conservation methods,
When asked about the possible consequences of global
warming and possible solutions,
Vouriitis responded in a very
sober and down to earth manner,
"Increased flooding, more frequent and severe storms,
decreased crop yields, increased
pest and insect infestations,
such as reusing, recycling, carpooling, purchasing grocery products in bulk, minimizing water
used in gardening and bathing
and using heating and air conditioning sparingly, will significantly slow the effects of global warming. The best solution, however,
lies in limiting fossil-fuel emissions and deforestation, which

will require a fundamental change
in lifestyle. Vouriitis was particularly adamant about the use
of curbside recycling programs,
which he feels are a powerful tool
in eliminating waste and furthering conservation. Such recycling
programs include the recycling
bins available at CSUSM.
Professor Vouriitis also displayed great enthusiasm when
discussing the greenhouse at
CSUSM, describing it as his "laboratory". The greenhouse enables
him to construct and observe
models of ecosystem behavior on
the CSUSM campus. Though not
as glamorous as arctic Alaska,
the greenhouse serves as a valuable tool in Voulitis' research.
Vouriitis also teaches Human

Ecology/ Evolution from UC
Davis.

�Wetlands Could Be D estroyed
By: Benjamin Wayne
Pride Staff Writer
Local
conservationists
opposed to the city of San
Marcos' plan to extend Las Posas
Road* across Agua Hediorida
creek and through the Hedionda
Valley wetlands, have submitted
their comments to three state and
federal regulatory agencies.
The agencies, which include
the California Regional Water
Quality Control Board, the
California Department of Fish
and Game and the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineering and
Wildlife Services, are currently
reviewing the Las Posas project
and will render a decision shortly.
"We are waiting to hear if the
Army Corps and the Regional
Water Quality Control Board will
issue permits to allow the road
to impact the wetlands," said
Sandra Farrell of the Friends of
Hedionda Creek, a local conservationist group. Farrell's group
is concerned that if allowed to
proceed, the road's construction
will severely damage the environmental integrity of the Hedionda
Valley wetlands.
Agua Hedionda creek bisects
two large areas, approximately
1,500 acres, of undisturbed coastal sage scrub and wetland habitat
in the Hedionda Vail ey Species
living in the area, which include
the endangered coastal California
gnatcatcher and the least Bell's
vireo, depend on the freshwater
marsh habitat that the wetlands
provide. Clearing land for a new
road would require the city to fill
in the valley's natural ponds, to
clear the riparian vegetation and
to displace hundreds of animals
from their home.
Furthermore, Ferrell points
out" that native species of
Hedionda Valley depend on the
creek's constant water supply as
a resource for survival. The area
is considered as a natural wildlife
corridor as it provides habitat
linkage for both the flora and
the fauna in the valley. If the
road is allowed to extend through
the Hedionda Valley, it will split
the corridor into two—restricting
movement to and from the creek.
"The road extension will destroy
sensitive wetlands and create a
conflict situation for wildlife that
find their corridor turned into
a 45 mph road," added Farrell.
"The result will be wildlife being
lost to roadkill."
. Aside from Farrell's group,
the Sierra Club's San Diego
Chapter has also sent letters
urging the California Regional
Water Quality Control Board,
the California Department of
Fish and Game and the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineering and
Wildlife Services to reject San

"If It Has Wings and
Two Legs It's a
Vegetable!"
Remembering Denise
A. Vasseur
By: Kirsti K. Gepp
Contributing Writer
Peking duck, roasted turkey,
chicken curry.. .they are not what
comes to mind when thinking of
vegetarians. But, if you are an
animal expert, you might just be
allowed to make up your own
rules. Denise—a longtime vegetarian—who sometimes had an
appetite for these winged delights,
insisted they MUST be vegetables
theni Only someone with a firm
comprehension of species paired
with an indestructible sense of
humor could have said such a
thing and be serious about it. We
believed her because of that mischievous smile that would accompany such stubborn declarations.
This kind of persistence
would do wonders at other times
in Denise's life. Her ingenious
style of rediscovering the world
around her was born long before
her fellow students found out
that she could make an undergraduate behave like a docile elephant...long before she became
best buddy with Bahati, a chimpanzee in the heart of Burundi...
and long before she disclosed that
her pet snail was able to most
naturally remove body hair ...
Denise was born to Sheila
and David Wardill on September
10, 1969 in Newcastle, England.
As a curious child she owned an
assortment of pets and showed
an early interest in animal behaviors. It is not inconceivable that
she may have been the perfect
example of a child enthusiastically eating her vegetables, if
her mother just understood that
these included turkey sandwiches and chicken stew! Denise's
teenage years were mildly rebellious British-style. The idea of a
big-haired, leather-garb-wearing
Denise listening to punk music
while living the 80's culture probably elicits a twinge of recognizant blush in some of us!
Fancying Denise's sense for
the unique, a local British newspaper picked up on her unusual
scientific declaration that her pet
snail ought to be considered a
gentle hair remover. An entire
page of the local newspaper
explained this nifty discovery
accompanied by an oversized picture of a smiling Denise with
her slippery friend crawling up
her arm. As she got older, her
unusual interest in animals kept
growing. While attending the
University of Stirling in Scotland
for a Bachelors of Science in
Psychology, Denise spent much
of her free time working at the
Edinburgh Zoo. Human psychol-
ogy had captured her interest, but England to earn her teaching

sense of humor, intelligence, and
originality reinforced our ideals
on how one ought to learn in the
classroom and in life. She did
continue her original research on
primate language at the Wild
Animal Park through her Master's
thesis at CSUSM. Denise's thesis
project examined language-related hand preferences in Bonobos
(also known as Pygmy Chimps),
an endangered species thought
to be human's closest relative.
Undoubtedly, she has been the
only graduate student among us
who has had a firm idea about
the subject of her Master's thesis
many years prior to entering the
program!
On September 22, Denise
was taken from life and from
being a wife, daughter, sister,
friend, student, researcher, and
animal conservationist. She will
continue to inspire many of us.
We will forever remember her
smile—that same great smile
which could make us believe that
some vegetables may have wings
and two legs!
Good Bye Denise.
�Remembering the Veterans

have friends and loved ones who
are veterans. For them, Veterans'

W hy not S occer at CSUSM?
By: Manuel Maldonado
and Matthew Wallis
Contributing Writers
CSUSM has only two sports,
golf and track. Two years ago
a soccer team was started by a
group of six dedicated CSUSM
students whose goal was to found
a soccer program that would bring
attention to the school. The goal
of the students was to create a
soccer team that would proudly
represent CSUSM. The soccer
team originally started not as a
collegiate team, but as a club
team. The team played in the
Oceanside league for a year and
was very competitive, making it
to the playoffs of Division II
and placing fourth out of sixteen
teams. But winning in a club
league was not enough for the
team, the students wanted to have
a bigger challenge, a chance to
play other universities.
About one year ago soccer
became an official club sport
at CSUSM. ASI sponsors the
soccer team, but the team players
must pay for their own uniforms
and their own medical liability
insurance. The team has also been
promised goal equipment to use
on the soccer field in order to
host home games, but ASI has not
delivered on its promises to the
team.
The team traveled
to CSU Long Beach,
UC Santa Barbara,
UC Riverside and
Pepperdine
University. We performed valiantly
against these schools
in our first year of
competition, and the
future could be
brighter if ASI would
deliver on what they
promised. We have
now had four away
games with other universities
but no home games, which was
another promise that we are waiting for ASI to fulfill.
Tired of asking, "When will
the goals arrive?" the team coach
offered to pay for the goals out
of his own pocket, but he was
turned down by the university.
While struggling with
recruiting players and trying to
get a field to play on, the team
has managed to stay #live. Our
hope and goal of being a competitive team is slowly disappearing since last week the team
was informed that all of our home
games after November 7, 2000,
were cancelled
because of defective goals. When
we inspected the
goals, we found
only a scratch.
Who is trying to
soccer who at
CSUSM?
As CSUSM
students, we have
certain rights.
We were promised our own
goals and at least
some home games so that our
families and the student body
could take pride in the team. We
can only dream of the day when
a Cal State Cougars' soccer team
takes the field. All the members
of the team are CSUSM students
who take time out of their busy
schedules to play soccer. We want
the university to recognize that
we do extet and that we would
like to play some home games.
The teams we have played so
far have expressed their willingness to play us on ourfieldson
a Wednesday or Saturday afternoon when we can get the most
support. We urge all CSUSM
students to come support our
soccer team on NOVEMBER 7
when we take on UCSD atUCSD
at 7:00 p.m.
The Mangrum Track and
Soccer Field are not named just
for track but also for soccer. Let's
stop the political bureaucracy that
is stopping soccer frpm becoming an official sport at Cal State
San Marcos. Most students don't
even know CSUSM has a soccer
team and that we have been representing them for two years. We
are putting the word out to gain
support for our team. All we are
asking for is a few home games
so that our families, friends,
students and alumni can enjoy
a competitive soccer game and
cheer on the Cougars. For some
of us it's our last season of
collegiate soccer and we would
like to play on our home field
just one last time. WE JUST
WANT TO PLAY AT HOME
AND EXPAND SOCCER AT
CSUSM.

"This is my third time running for office, but I am not
a politician." I am running for
State Assembly, but I am not a
politician." If you were one of the
handful of students who bothered
to show up to ASI's candidate
forum last Thursday outside of
the Dome you got to hear our local
underdog candidates cling to the
opportunity of boring an audience. Absent the front-running
Republicans, Libertarian, Natural
Law and Democratic Party candidates came ready with long-winded rambling speeches that turn
off an already apolitical demographic.
The generation infamous for
asking presidential candidates
whether they preferred boxers or
briefs and firing up a unprecedented digital economy sat
outside enjoying the Southern
California atmosphere seemingly
hungry for some mid-day munchies and maybe for a candidate that
would speak about issues pertinent to collegiate aged voters.
Promising a program for every-
thing under the sun, the candidates did not ask if we young
people want an oversized intrusive government responsible for
running our lives. Like their main
party counterparts the predominantly third party dais politicized
their issues in hopes that one
issue might resonates on your
Head and you'd vote for them.
If the candidates were for a
real change in politics do
you think they might have
asked how they could represent our (the constituencies) views rather than
spoon-feeding us empty
promises they know that
they cannot deliver on.
Could it just be that the
days of charismatic leadership
are over? When it comes to charisma in our leaders are there any.

Dr. Gene W. Ray, CEO of
the Titan Company, whose laser
is nuking anthrax in post offic
es, gave Cal State San Marcos
students advice on job hunting
Friday.
*
Ray told students that when
he hires new employees, he
looks for those with “the right
motivation, attitude, education,
and smarts, but first of all, they
must have a philosophy of work
ing as a team.”
Ray was the guest speaker at
the inaugural event of the series
“In the Executive Seat,” created
by the College of Business and
Arts Administration. The host,
Ted Owen, publisher of the San
Diego Business Journal, dis
cussed a range of topics with the
guest. The talk wa$ patterned
after the “In the Actors Studio”
show.
The crowd of about 40 stu
dents,staff and faculty listened
as Ray and Owen discussed
Ray’s educational beginnings
and his first jobs. Ray said that
the key to finding .a job after
graduation is to learn as much
as possible. “Get a good gener
al education because the world
changes and what is hot now,
will not be in five years,” he
said.
Ray established the Titan
Company in 1981, but before that
he worked several jobs across
the country. After graduation,
he worked for Aerospace in
San Bernardino. The company
advises the air force on how to
build satellites andmissiles.
Later, he worked for the
Pentagon in Washington D.C.
where he worked with “things
like B-52’s. I did a study on
the possibility of using them in
Vietnam,” said Ray. The B-52
was used in Vietnam and is used
today in Afghanistan.

Foundation Building Update

Pride Staff Writer
Students attending class, in
the temporary trailers said they
expected their stay to be a short
one, but repairs from the July
blasting accident that struck the
Foundation building (FCB) are
still incomplete as the semester
comes to an end.
“The classrooms are actu
ally ready to be occupied, but
outside damages that are in the
process of being repaired would
be too disruptive to students and
professors during finals week,”
said Chuck Walden, director of
the facilities.
According to Walden, dam
ages would have been repaired
on time, but there were delays on
quotes from the steel contractors
were supposed to complete the
building repairs. These delayed
quotes pushed back repairs that
were supposed to take place
on the building’s canopies and
roofs.
Walden assured that the
buildings would be reopened for
spring semester classes. Some
students and professors said
they were disappointed that their
intended short stay in temporary
buildings has lasted the entire
semester.
“We adjusted and made due
with what happened, but it would
have been nice to move into a
real classroom,” said Maureen
DuPont, a math professor. “Our
only salvation was that our
classes kept getting smaller and
smaller so the temporary class
became more spacious as time
passed. There was a point
though, during exam time,
where if one more person would
have showed up, they wouldn’t
have had a seat.”

�AIDS Memorial Quilt Brings Awareness to Campus
By MARTHA SARABIA
Pride Staff Writer
Student Health Services pro
moted AIDS awareness on cam
pus by providing free HIV test
ing, giving out free condoms
and showing the AIDS Memorial
Quilt on Monday Dec. 3rd, from
10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.
“I think it’s very important
for people to know that HIV is
out there, but people are some
times not conscious about that.
It’s a deadly disease,” said Cathy
Nguyen, a*health educator from
Student Health Services.
Although World AIDS Day
is on Dec. 1st, which was on a
Saturday, it was not promoted on
campus until Monday in order to
reach more students, according
to Nguyen.
“When AIDS first started, I
never thought it would get this
bad, never. It’s so very sad.
There is no excuse for people
to be dying for this now, we
know. Maybe when they see this,
they’ll use protection,” said Judie
Hathaway, a senior majoring in
Literature and Writing Studies.
Friends and family of people
who lost their battle against the
autoimmune disease make per
sonalized quilt squares and send
their sections to the NAMES
Project Foundation, an organiza
tion which creates quilts made
from each section received.
“Through these type of
memorials, they (the victims)
live on forever. They are not
forgotten,” Nguyen added.
“I think the quilt is pretty
awesome. It’s amazing because
your see iso many different lives
and this shows that anybody can
get affected and not only people
that are stereotyped, such as
drug users and homosexuals,”
said Jason Gwazdacz, senior and
Human Development major.
“I think the quilt is really
meaningful because students
don’t remember or think about
it [HIV/AIDS] until they see it
although some people remember
it now, then they forget it again.
I think it’s good to havethe quilt
here because it makes people
more aware and just to think

Communication within Cal
State San Marcos is increasing,
as students now receive a new
e-mail service called “In the
Loop.” Every Friday students
receive In the Loop, which con
tains information about uni
versity and student organized
events and fundraisers. Student
organizations and university
offices submit this information
that will be sent to all student
e-mail accounts.
In The Loop began Nov.
30 and was the idea of Rick
Moore, director of university
communications. “We had a
number of requests that we
send information to students
by email,” said Moore.
“This is quite cumbersome
for the folks who maintain the
computing equipment, and my
•thought was to reduce the num
ber of messages by combining
them into a weekly grouping.
That way messages could still
be sent, but in a workable
way.”

said, “ . . . (we) had a lot of stu

Another group at the fair,
Preserve Calavera, represented
by Diane Nygarrd, president, and
Lori Homstad, public relations
officer, is an organization work
ing to save some of Carlsbad’s
open spaces on Mt. Calavera.
According to the group, the open
space on Mt. Calavera shelters the
last of two remaining large con
tiguous native habitats in coastal
north county.
They added that the city of
Carlsbad proposes a development
of 700 new homes, 22 industrial
sites, a high school, and four high
ways, which will take up about
60 percent of what others want to
make into a regional nature pre
serve. Nygarrd and Homstad said
they’re not against development,
but they want to advocate
responsible development. They
decried the fact that some of
this area is already protected, yet
the protections are not enforced.
For further information check
www.preservecalavera.org.
The Friends of Cerro de las
Posas, a group vying to save the
ridgeline in San Marcos, also
attended the fair. A developer is
proposing to build a 150-acre golf
course on the ridgeline south of
Discovery Lake and east of Lake
San Marcos. The Friends said
they are not against golf courses,
but feel this location is inap
propriate. Right now anyone can
hike or bike to the top of the nat
ural ridgeline and enjoy the beau
tiful view. The Friends believe
the golf course would take away
public accessibility to the ridge
line. For further information
check FriendsofCerro@aol.com.
. The San Elijo Lagoon Con
servancy, a group dedicated to
preserving The San Elijo Lagoon,
was also in attendance. Lois
James represented the group and
attempted to bring awareness
about the importance of the
lagoon, which is located in the
wetlands between Solana Beach
and Cardiff. She explained how

Cal State San Marcos’s Envi

the event was to educate students
about the benefits of recycling. “I

�AUTHOR FINDS HOPE AND
HYPOCRISY IN AMERICA
Go Take a Hike...During Winter Break
By CHRIS ING
Pride Staff Writer
By MARY SUE WEBB
Pride Staff Writer
Sherman Alexie brought a message
of hope for those who see the September
11 tragedies as a dismal foretelling of
America’s future. “We spend our whole
lives trying to fit in, trying to find the
place where we belong. If the attacks
can teach us anything, it is that we
do belong, we are connected, and we
are here,” said the outspoken Native
American author, poet and playwright in
front of packed house at UCSD’s Price
Theater Thursday.
Alexie, author of the novels
Reservation Blues and Indian Killer,
three collections of poetry, as well as the
screenplay for the film Smoke Signals,
touched on a variety of topics during his
two-hour monologue, ranging from his
experiences as an Indian and his love of
the arts, to vegetarianism and the hypoc
risy of American culture. Although his
works often reflect the anger of the dis
enfranchised, Alexie spoke with humor
and openness. Animated and forthright,
he tackled topics most politicians take
great rhetorical pains to avoid.
“Imagine an image of Christ on the
cross being paraded along the sidelines of
a football game with scantily clad cheer
leaders shouting ‘Go Christ, Go Christ,
crucify them! ’ Most people would be
horrified — and well they should be.
But the same thing is being done to
our religion,” said Alexie, talking about
the disgraceful misuse of sacred Indian
religious symbols as sporting mascots.
He noted that such indifference
by many Americans allows a hypocriti
cal compartmentalization of another cul
ture: “We can pick and choose the parts
of the culture we like and disregard the
rest. It’s hypocrisy, pure and simple.”
When asked how he felt about
Need some adventure during winter
break? Well, adventure may be closer
than you think if you take a winter hike
near campus. At the 750-acre Elfin Forest
Reserve south of San Marcos, and the
3,085-acre Daley Ranch in Escondido, a
bobcat, coyote, or a golden eagle might
cross your path in these protected habitats.
Daley Ranch has more than 20 miles of
trails beginning at the parking lot of the
La Honda Drive entrance of Escondido’s
Dixon Lake. Huge boulders are home to
many animals at the ranch.
“The outcrops provide denning sites
for coyote, bobcat and ringtail. Mountain
lions have been seen among the rocks on
occasion,” according to the Daley Ranch
trail guide.
Raptor species of birds and the south
ern Pacific, as well as red diamond and
speckled rattlesnakes live in the boulders.
Endangered species, such as the horned
lizard and the California gnatcatcher, also
live on the Daley Ranch. Another endan
gered species protected at the ranch is the
rare oak woodland.

“Widespread development has greatly
reduced the number of oak woodlands,”
according to the trail guide. “Englemann
oak woodlands, once relatively widespread
and abundant, are now one of the most
endangered natural communities.”
Visitors may also find oaks on the 10
miles of trails at the Elfin Forest Reserve*
and near Escondido Creek, along Harmony

the war on Afghanistan, Alexie
responded that he agreed the terrorists
should be punished but that, he “wasn’t
going to join anyone’s army. If a thief
breaks into my house, I’m not going to
help him carry my stuff out,” He said it
would be “too hypocritical to talk about
other people’s hatred when we can’t even
address our own.”
Alexie also noted that he had been
subjected to ‘random searches’ on six
teen of his last twenty flights since
September 11.
Although well aware that his speech
es are often contentious and controver
sial, Alexie said, “I can’t control peoples’
reaction to what I say. And that is what
is great: your politics, your culture, and
your philosophy all fit into your reaction
to what I say. That is what makes the
arts so wonderful.”
When a frustrated audience member
made a noisy exit midway through
Alexie’s talk, shouting out “fuck you,”
Alexie was nonplussed. Moments later
he said: “This is what is great about
this country. Think about how many
countries would not even allow this type
of gathering. But here I can say what I
want and you can say what you want.
Even if it’s fuck you.”

Service, told them what we had, and
in one week we had a contract,” said
Ray. “That’s faster than the mail,” added
Owen.
“We knew all along that we could stop
anthrax,” said Ray. “However, anthrax
spores are the most difficult bacteria to

that run through an accelerator at high
speeds. This beam of energy is aimed at
packages. As the beam runs through the
package, it neutralizes, or kills, bacteria.
“It looks like a large log and a beam
comes out of it,” said Ray.
Bryce Ashcraft, a business major,
asked Ray at the end of the show, “Did
you learn more in academia or in the
working field, what are the percent
ages?”
“The most important thing you learn
in academia is the ability to reason, the
ability to think and how to communicate
both written and verbally,” said Ray.
“Ninety-nine percent [of what I learned]
was in the working field, one-percent

“Rolling thunder is what they call

said Owen.
Later, Ray worked for a local com
pany, SAIC. He helped create military,
mostly air force, communications, until
he broke away to establish Titan.
Ray became chairman of the board
of Titan in 1989. Today, his company
makes $1.1 billion in revenue, and shares
of the company have continually been 65
percent higher than before Sept. 11, said
Ray. According to an article in the North
County Times, shares closed on Friday
at $27.08, compared to $13.20 earlier in
the year.
Yet Ray remains modest about his
efforts. “With hard work and a lot of
luck you can really accomplish what you
want to in this country,” he said.
As he did with previous jobs, Ray is
supporting the war effort. “This year, hun
dreds of our employees are making con
tributions to Afghanistan and the global
war,” said Ray. Not only are employees
going overseas to help weapon and com
munication repairs, but his company is
supporting the war at home.
SureBeam, a Titan subsidiary, is
working with the U.S. Postal Service
Grove Road. In the spring, huge bushes of
mountain lilac, red money flowers, blue
eyed grass and sunflowers line sections
of the Elfin Forest. Signs identify native
plants in both of these reserves. A trail
guide about native plants is available at
Elfin Forest Reserve.
For those who may not be interested in
the native plants, however, consider bring
ing man’s, or woman’s, best friend along
for the adventure. Dogs are allowed off
their leashes at the Elfin Forest Preserve,
but they must stay on their leash at Daley
Ranch.
If that’s still not your style, mountain
bicycling is popular at both reserves. Also,
non-hikers can ride a free shuttle bus from
the La Honda Drive entrance every Sunday
afternoon to the Daley Ranch picnic area.
The shuttle van is wheelchair accessible,
but no cars are allowed.

�Spy Game A
By VICTOR PADILLA
Pride Staff Writer
“Spy Game” takes viewers
on a globe-hopping mix of covert
CIA operations and secret govern
ment-sanctioned assassinations.
Tony Scott directed this climac
tic thriller, which stars Robert
Redford and Brad Pitt. Tony Scott,
who also directed “Crimson Tide”
and “Top Gun,” once again shows
his worth as a director in “Spy
Game,” in which he combines
great acting with totally believ
able situations.
Redford plays CIA veteran
Nathan Muir, one day away from
his retirement from the agency
he works for. Everything seems
as usual on his last day of work,
until he gets called in to an emer
gency meeting for an unexpected
event that has taken place on the
other side of the world.
The U.S. was about to sign
an accord with China, when Tom
Bishop (Pitt), a young CIA agent,
gets himself into life-threatening
trouble with the Chinese gov
ernment. Muir’s bosses, howev
er, are not enthusiastic about sav
ing Bishop’s life. There is a lot
at stake in the accord between
the two super powers. Money,
microchips, and free trade are up
for grabs, and any publicity about
Bishop’s capture in a Chinese
top-security prison could foil the
deal.
It turns out that Muir is
Bishop’s mentor. Muir tries to
come up with a plan to save
Bishop from a torturous death
-£f but he only has 24 hours.
In one scene, we find Muir
using his intellect and his CIAoperative training
against the CIA
bureaucrats them
selves, to discover why the agency
is so quick to sacrifice Bishop.
Although it may seem that
this storyline is somewhat over
used, the film provides a refresh
ing view because it deals more
with the intellectual aspect of
carrying out a mission. As one
may ascertain from the movie’s
title, “Spy Game” deals with just
that
playing the game, eVen
against those whom you learned
it from.
The story includes flashbacks
of the men’s covert operations in
Vietnam in the 70s, and Beirut in
the 80s. The flashbacks, which
are told from Muir’s perspective,
are nicely done, and give us
enough information to keep us
interested in Muir and Bishop as
characters. We’re also offered just
enough insight into their strenu
ous relationship, which remains
intact due to their fierce loyalty
to their job, and to one another.
Redford, whose starred in spy
thrillers like “Three Days of the
Condor,” played a very convinc
ing and cool role in
the film. What more
can I say about Pitt,
who looks as sharp as ever, until
the prison guards beat him to
a bloody mess (sorry ladies).
Perhaps this is Pitt’s motive for
agreeing to this role, considering
that he tends to shy away from
being viewed as a sex symbol and
is constantly taking roles where
he is physically marred (“Fight
Club” and “Snatch”). Catherine
McCormack’s character is not
introduced in the film until half
way through the movie. She has
a dual role, playing a British aid
worker and Pitt’s love interest.
Although she has a small role
in the film, it is nonetheless one
of the most pivotal because, in
a sense, most of the conflict in
the story is directly or indirectly
affected by her.
The movie also includes
Larry Bryggman (“Die Hard with
a Vengeance”), who plays a nasty,
two-faced, arrogant CIA bureau
crat. Marianne .Jean-Baptiste
(“The Cell”, “28 Days”) plays
Muir’s loyal secretary, who will
do anything to stir up some
much-needed action in her seem
ingly boring job. Moviegoers who
can appreciate good acting and
amazing cinematography will be
extremely satisfied by what this
movie has to offer. With enough
action-packed scenes to make
Arnold Schwarzenegger blush,
“Spy Games” will undoubtedly

New York Sidewalks on Screen

).
Sidewalks of New York is
a romantic comedy involving
seven Manhattanites trying to
find their way through the ups
and downs of dating, marriage,
and all that falls in between.
If you want to dive in to the
sad state of “dating” in 2001,
this is the film for you. Married,
separated, frustrated or search
ing —somehow, we can all relate
to “Sidewalks of New York.”
Although this may sound
depressing, the film has a way
of pulling you into the garbage
and you find yourself rooting
for their happiness and minding
their dating survival tips.
The film stars including
Edward Burns ( “
Any Given
Written and directed by
Edward Bums {“The Brothers
M cMullen” and “She's the
One”), Sidewalks, which was
filmed in Manhattan, has a
Woody Allen-ish air to it.
The man-on-the-street inter
views give thei audience a peek
into the sex and dating lives of
these interesting characters.
Sidewalks was filmed in 17
days and has a slightly annoy
ing documentary quality to it.
One of the drawbacks of this
film is how the camera dizzily
lunges back and forth between
the actors’ faces.
The film is rated R for sex
ual content and lanuguage, and
has a running time of one hour.

For The Pride
This is the time of year
when motion pictures are most
meaningful. That is to say, they
actually make a statement about
something important In the case
of “Life as a House,” the state
ment is that life is short, life
is precious, and for some, life
sucks. But with a little help from
a loved one, life can be wonder
ful.
Kevin Kline (“A Fish Called
Wanda”) is George Monroe, a
model builder bored with his job
and tired of his life. He lives
alone in a very run-down old
house that he has long since
dreamed of tearing down to build
his dream house. One day, his
boss decides that 20 years is
far too long for George to have
worked the same job, so he fires
him. Upset, George storms out
of there and passes out, right on
the concrete. He wakes up in

Meanwhile, his ex-wife
Robin, played by
Kristin Scott Thomas

for his family and two young
children. Her teenage son Sam,
played by Hayden Christensen
( Star Wars: Episodes II and

emotionally distraught teenager,
The audience truly feels for

Irwin Winkler (“At First

�One Film to Rule Them All
By MELANIE ADDINGTON
Pride Editor
Whoever said that you should
never judge a book by its movie
has yet to see L ord o f the
Rings. Having never read J.R.R.
Tolkien’s classic trilogy The Lord
o f the Rings (I’ve only read the
prelude novel, The Hobbit), I
was concerned that I might not
understand the characters and
mythology integral to the story.
But instead, I was pleasantly
surprised at not only understand
ing Tolkien’s world onscreen, but
falling madly in love with it.
The first attempt to turn
Tolkien’s novel into film, in 1978,
was an animated failure, but it
may have been the attempt to
animate, rather than using com
pelling actors and dynamic spe
cial effects, that was its down
fall.
However, the second attempt,
which is based only on the
first novel, The Fellowship o f
the Ring, opens Dec. 19 and
should prove itself an epic suc
cess. From the first line, “The
world is changed,” hauntingly
narrated by Cate Blanchett, the
audience will find itself com
pelled to keep watching.
All three novels are encom
passed in one large epic film;
however, audiences will have to
wait for parts two and three until
2002 and 2003.
“I wanted to take all the
great moments from the books
and use modern technology to
give audiences nights at the mov
ies unlike anything they’ve expe
rienced before,” said film direc
tor, writer and producer Peter
Jackson.
True to his word, Jackson
keeps Tolkien’s literary language,
and, rather than allowing the
film editor to cut to an image of
a scene, Jackson provides elaborate dialogue to describe offcamera scenes.
“Tolkien writes in a way that
makes everything come alive,
and we wanted to set that realis

it as the story unravels. We

�As many of us prepare for the end
of the semester this week, The Pride
will also prepare for changes. Editors
Melanie Addington and Victoria Segall
will move on after three years of involve
ment with the student newspaper. The
Pride welcomes two new lead editors for
the spring semester, Claudia Ignacio and
James Newell. We are very excited for the
new vision they will bring to the student
newspaper.
As editors and as students, we have
had our ups and downs these past few
years, but we will leave the newspaper
with great memories. Two years ago, after
only our first year ofjournalism, Professor
Madeleine Marshall, Pride adviser, took
a chance with two quiet girls and helped
turn them into campus leaders. For that,
we are both grateful. Thank you.
As a campus, you students have
embraced the changes we have made
in the paper, like the new layout, our
continuing struggle with the online edi
tion^ student comic strips (that we hope to
continue), controversial columns, editori
als, and a colorful literary supplement.
As student writers, we continued to push
ourselves to better our writing, and as
editors we pushed ourselves to cover
important news for students.
However, some things have remained.
The students. You have been proactive
as newsreaders, and we encourage you
to continue. The student newspaper is
one of the few places where students can
express their voices to the administration,
faculty, and other students. Value it. Our
opinion pages continue to be the most
exciting pages because of what you have
brought to them. Thank you.
As students, we have had opportuni
ties to attend diverse, enriching campus
events. Many clubs and ASI continue to
struggle with oursrimewhat tediously apa
thetic campus and try to create an exciting
campus life for us. We hope that The Pride
continues to cover their contributions and
that more students begin to appreciate
their efforts. Student leaders, thank you.
Our professors have helped us build
a strong foundation for our writing with
their teaching and advising. They’ve
helped us questions ourselves and others
(a useful tool for
writers), taught us
grammar tips (we
are trying to avoid writing in passive
voice), and given us other valuable lessons
both inside and outside the classroom.
Now we feel more confident expressing
ourselves as writers to not only the univer
sity, but those outside of it. Thank you.
Administrators of this campus have
been both open and encouraging to The
Pride. Although we were not always well-
liked because of our reporting and uncov
ering of news, good and bad, the school
has continued to support student voice.
The College of Arts and Sciences, as a
whole, has been tremendously helpful. Our
hope is that in the future, students, faculty
and administrators from the College of
Business Administration, Education, and
the future colleges, will participate more
and help represent the variety of student
ED ITO R IA L
There are also
administrators who
have helped push the paper forward and
supported the newspaper for several years,
including Cheryl LeGras of College Suc
cess Services. Thank you.
We hope you all will join us in provid
ing the new editors with the same support
you have given us over the past two years.
Thank you.

�Bodyboarders Are
Dedicated to Their
Sport, Too
Tae Kwon Do
Another
Cougar Sport
By DUSTIN NAYLOR
Pride Staff Writer
Physical education is more
than just cross country and golf
at Cal State San Marcos. The
P.E. class, Tae Kwon Do (PE
210), brings martial arts to stu
dents. The course, taught by
instructors Grand Master Chun
and Frank Pulsdrac, combines
the intense art form of Tae
Kwon Do with group discus
sions. Every Friday morning,
about 30 students come to class
(located a few blocks from the
school), ready to practice low
blocks, sidekicks and even an
Occasional chop to the neck.
Grand Master Chun prac
tices the Ji Do Kwon method
of Tae Kwon Do. Ji Do Kwon,
which means the “association for
knowledge ” or “way of knowl
edge association,” fuses funda
mental training philosophies in
patience, love, patriotism, and
respect for oneself and others.
Students engage in meth
odology involving leadership,
self-development, goal setting
and personal achievement, while
working to achieve correct
stance, technique and form
through rigorous, but enlighten
ing, aerobic workouts.
Chun said he understands
that students are busy with their
studies and work, but insists that
individuals maintain a “balance
of physical and mental training
achieved through Tae Kwon Do.”
The class is a 3-unit academic
course listed as PE 210-Tae Kwon
Do.
“I was looking for elective
units to graduate when I found
out about the course,” said stu
dent and white belt Justin Stough.

Chun said that university
support is excellent. “Cal State
San Marcos has sponsored our
program for six years now. We
have over 100 students from the
university who continually train
and practice and hope to gain
more.”
Chun, a senior Ji Kwon Do
Grand Master, began his train
ing more than 50 years ago in
Korea, where he trained with
the founders of the Ji Do Kwon.
After the Korean War, Chun was
selected to serve as bodyguard
for the Korean Prime Minister.
He later became chief
instructor of the Seoul National
Police Force and aided the
Korean CIA in teaching Ho
Shin Sul (self defense). When
he moved to New York City in
1969, Chun trained with Richard
Chun and black belts/actors Joe
Hayes and Gregory Hines. He
worked with the New York City
Ballet, combining ballet move
ments arid Tae Kwon Do as an
“art.”
In 1976, £Jiun began spon
soring the All-American Open
Championships, which began in
Youngstown and Cleveland,
Ohio, and then he moved to San
Marcos in 1987 to introduce the
All-American Open to the West
Coast. Chun said he believed
“the traditional martial arts is
eternal - a good studio will
develop a consistent program
balancing the physical with the
mental.”
Tae Kwon Do, which means
the “way of the foot and the fist,”
first originated during the early
history of the Korean Peninsula.
The Koguryo, Paekje and Silla
were kingdoms that, around 57
B.C., used Tae Kwon Do as
one of the principal subjects
in physical training. The mar
tial art form survived many
generations, continuing through
the Chosen Dynasty (1392-1910),
and remained prominent after the
masters secretly handed down
the art after the liberation of
Japan in 1945.
I’ve got some news for
Southern
California:
Bodyboarders are just as dedi
cated to their sport as surfers.
True, the majority does not take
it as seriously, but bodyboarders
have just as much fun. And for
those who don’t know, not all
bodyboards are made by Morey
Boogie. So please don’t say that
you are going “boogie board
ing” unless you own an actual
Bpogi-brand bodyboard.
Bodyboards have come a
long way from the flimsy early
models. Back in the early 80s
when I started, the hot board was
a Morey Red Edge bodyboard.
Compared to today’s boards,
it was similar to the rudimen
tary plane that the Wright broth
ers first flew. Now, most body
boards have a slick bottom and
can come in a variety of shapes
and colors.
You can purchase a board
with stringers on the inside to
make the board stiffer and fast
er, or you can get one made
with different types of foam
for different temperature waters,
because you can find body
boarders at all four corners of
the planet.
At 30 years old, I thought I
would have given it up by now,
but strangely, I find it as fun as
when I was 13 and playing in
the shorebreak.
After all these years, I can
now say that I shred. I grew up
on the Central Coast up north
where you have everything from
hungry sharks to cows and deer
on the cliffs watching you as
you drop into big cold tubes.
These waves broke over rocky
reefs and burnt-out old surfers,
with their solid black wetsuits,
who rode surfboards from the
1970s. Sometimes it got so cold
that the sand would be frozen
and would crunch as you walked
over it. I know the coastline
between Santa Barbara and San
Luis Obispo counties like the
back of my hand.
With bodyboarding, you
have a few options on how you
ride the board. You can lie down
on it in a prone position, or
you can ride it in a “drop-knee”
position, which requires that you
hop up on the board as quickly
as possible during the takeoff
and put one leg up, and one
beneath you. This is the way
I prefer to ride. It feels faster
and you dan pull many of the
maneuvers that a surfer does.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t
have “surfing envy,” it is just
that in this position you are
more upright than when you are
prone.
During the past 17 years I
have learned how to surf and
have also picked up a nice 8’
thruster that I take out when the
waves are flat. Down here in
Southern California, we have a
veritable cornucopia of waves.
This winter looks pretty promis
ing as far as waves go, and there
is a vibe in the air that all men
and women of the water have.
This vibe is saying to us,
“You’d better wax up you boards
good and be ready. When I come
screaming down the coast, from
the Pacific North, I am going
to give you all the ride of your
life.” To this vibe I answer, “We
are ready and we are pumped.”

intramural basketball team for

The spring semester will fea

intramural lacrosse team, which
Cudmore has co-captained since
March, along with Cory Barnhart
and Adam Gattuso.
The team has 17 players, and
a few of them have previous
lacrosse-playing experience from
high school, as well as experi

abilities as natural athletes as a
tool to become more successful
within the team,” said Cudmore,
a junior majoring in literature
and writing, with a minor in
criminology. “Each member has
the potential to become great
in the future, not only through
athletic involvement, but also as
leaders of the community.”
Cudmore, 23, confessed that
being a team leader can be dif

said Cudmore. “But then again,

�Catalog Under Consideration
By AMY GRANITE
Pride Staff Writer .
Cal State San Marcos pro
duces the university’s General
Catalog on a yearly basis to
inform students of modifications
to class descriptions and the
school-wide policies. The Office
of Academic Programs, whose
committee works on refining the
yearly catalog, however, is con
sidering creating a bi-yearly cat
alogue.
Modeled after San Diego
State University’s catalog, the
bi-yearly catalog is still in the
planning stages.
“We want to put the best
face forward for the campus that
we can. The first thing students
will see in the catalog if this
goes through, are rather attrac
tive images of Cal State San
Marcos,” said David Barsky,
associate vice president of Aca
demic Affairs.
With the bi-yearly catalog,
the university would print more
color pictures and focus more
on its layout and design. The
catalog could therefore be used
as a recruiting mechanism that
would be on display at high
schools and junior colleges.
A bi-yearly catalogue would
also decrease the money spent
on the yearly publication, which
is supported from sales of the
book and the school budget.
Also, the class scheduled dis
tributed every semester would
cost less.

experiments for some 200
students to perform. Some of the
experiments helped the young
sters learn how animals adapt to
their environment, what causes
sound, and how plants use light
to produce food. Each student
had 15 minutes to present a spe
cific science concept to small
groups of Discovery School
students, who rotated through
the mini-science exposition at
15-minute intervals.
“The science fair was bene
ficial because there were handson activities and visual demon
strations that allowed students
to become actively involved in
learning,” said Vlasic.
He added, “With science, or
any subject for that matter, the
challenge is to keep student
interest and motivation. The sci
ence fair helped in this respect
because the activities were fun,
appropriate in content for the
primary grades, hands-on, and
allowed students to learn by
doing.”
The CSUSM cohort includes
nearly two dozen seniors under
Norman’s direction, who have
attended the same classes, stud
ied together and journeyed
together through an integrated
credential program that began
with the spring 2000 semester.
Only one more semester
remains before students in the
cohort graduate with a bache

Brand Name: “Cal State San Marcos”
By AMY GRANITE
Pride Staff Writer
This semester, the Academic
Program Marketing Task Force
has set out to create an image
for Cal State San Marcos that
sets it apart from other local
universities.
“The most effective part of
any program is to raise aware
ness and to communicate specific
messages comes from employees
in an organization,” said Rick
Moore, head of the communica
tions department on campus, and
head chair of the task force.
According to Moore, that is
why employees and students are
now urged to refer to the univer
sity as Cal State San Marcos, and
discontinue the use of CSUSM,
because other universities in
the San Diego region are often
referred to by their initials, for
example, SDSU for San Diego
State University.
According to Moore, to set
Cal State San Marcos apart from
the bunch, it is the responsibil
ity of students and staff to use
the new brand Cal State San
Marcos when referring to the
university. The goal is to have
this new brand name differenti
ate this school from others in the
area.
Students and staff members
supporting the university and
its marketing efforts can only
make the lives of Cal State
San Marcos college community
members improve, according to
Moore.
Though the “brand name”
change might seem trivial or
insignificant, the fact is that
many get CSU and UC schools
confused. By simplifying and
marketing a name that stands
out from the rest, according to
task force officials, the Aca
demic Program Marketing Task
Force is attempting to leave an
impression on potential future
students.
Lower Division Advising
By AMY GRANITE
Pride Staff Writer
Toward the end of this
semester and as registration
approached, students had a diffi
cult time seekingrtower-division
advising. The problems began
with student-advisor ratios. There
are only two advisors available
for 1600 lower-division students.
“We try to encourage students to
come in ASAP so we can help
them out,” said Jane Sparks, a
lower-division advisor. “Before
and after registration we are so
busy that it becomes difficult
for students to get the help they
need.”
Throughout the semester,
Sparks sends out e-mails to
lower-division students, encour
aging them to seek advising
during off-peak times in jthe
semester. The reality is that
urgency for appointments builds
near registration time, when stu
dents tend to want advising
help.
Sign-up sheets are released
weekly and within a day or so, all
slots fill up with appointments.
After lower-division registration,
advisors’ schedules open up and
walk-in advising appointments
are available. Sparks advises
students not to hold off on reg
istration if they need to see an
advisor arid can’t get an appoint
ment, but rather to go ahead
and register, then seek advising
after advisement calms down.
Students can then add or drop
classes as the need arises.
Michael Temple, a former
lower-division advisor, is no
longer employed at the university ,
and his departure added stress to
the fall semester registration for
lower-division students. Reasons
for Temple’s departure have not
been disclosed. Natasha Brock
has temporarily taken over Tem
ple’s position.
This semester, many students
did not know what classes to
enroll in. Advisement encourages
students to attend advising ses
sions before November in the fall,
and as soon as possible during
the spring semester. There are
also general education require
ment handouts in the advising
reception area in Craven Hall
3106.
Now that you've worked hard all semester,
Don't you deserve to get off?

Top ranked Cougars at home finale
D ont regret missing this last regular season h ome game
B Y JUSTIN D ONNER
SPORTS EDITOR
The CSUSM m en's basketball team is now ranked No.
1 nationally in the NAIA,
and they have only one more
regular-season home game
to play against Bethesda on
Tuesday, Feb. 11 at 7:30 p.m.
With admission being f ree
for students, this is the perfect opportunity to witness a
piece of history in CSUSM
athletics.
This season started off with
the Cougars playing the San
Diego State Aztecs, a NCAA
Division I program, in an
exhibition game. The Aztecs
are now ranked No. 5 in the
nation on both the AP Top
25 and USA Today Coaches'
Poll.
CSUSM lost this match up,
but definitely held their own
against a nationally ranked
division I program. At one
point, the score was 58-55 at
the 8:26 mark of the second

est on the season, falling
only behind De'End Parker's
28 against Vanguard. This
game was a strong predictor
of the high caliber of play we
have seen from the Cougars
this year.
Jim Saia's brand of basketball seems to be working for
the Cougars, as they were the
first team in the country to
reach 20 wins on the season
after their 86-73 victory over
Simpson on Jan. 18. They
are currently boasting a 21-1
record overall, and they have
remained on the national
poll for 19 straight weeks, a
streak that dates back to last
season's preseason rankings.
If you happen to miss this
upcoming
regular-season
home game, the final appearance for the Cougars will be
March 1 with a 7:30 p.m.
start time. This exhibition
game, against St. Katherine,
will honor the team's seniors.
These last two home appearances offer students a
great chance to see the rapidly developing athletic department representing them
at CSUSM.

org with the code CSUSM.
They are encouraged to eat
iron-rich meals beforehand.
On the day of the blood donation, students should make
sure they have had plenty

The American Red Cross
Blood Drive will take place
from 9:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m.

Social media and technology increase our interest but hinder our retention
B Y GLORIA MAGALLANES
SENIOR STAFF W RITER
When it comes to the word
"blog," there are people who
automatically reject the idea
of owning one and much less
writing one.
Yet there is a large number of young people who
are gaining more interest in
creating and sharing their
own personal blogs, as evidenced by a growing number
of blog-formated forums in
recent years. Blogs are being created for multiple, and
new, purposes.
With the evolution of technology, it is normal to encounter people who embrace
the idea of self-expression.
If someone is interested in
sharing their written work
or ideas, they can almost
be certain it will be read or
"skimmed" by others online.
Many blog sites give writers
an opportunity to hashtag after every blog post and it al-
lows other users with similar
interests more opportunity
to view it.
There are other tools to
help share written work with
more people. Most sites now
have "share" or "reblog"
buttons that make it easy to
spread the word on people's
creations. Modern social media makes it easy for people
to create and inspire. Whether they like to write or share
their fashion sense, they can
always rely on blog sites to
give them that liberty.
Tumblr is one of those
blogs. It's a site that is not
just for creators but also for
followers.
"I look down the list of
blogs and I follow whatever
seems interesting," CSUSM
student, Yadira said.
Yadira, among others, uses
this social media site to learn
more about what they are interested in, whether it be TV
shows, cooking, fashion, science or poetry.
Some studies show that
people in our generation
have shorter attention spans
due to the fact that we retain less when we read and
this happens because of our
skimming habits. Nicholas
Carr speaks about this new
habit in his book The Shallows: What The Internet Is
Doing To Our Brains.
"The more we use the Web,
the more we train our brain
to be distracted—to process
information very quickly and
very efficiently but without
sustain attention," Carr said.
Yet blogs that focus on
news, science and history,
give everyone the ability to
understand things they otherwise might not comprehend
easily if they read it in an online article or newspaper.
Though blogs may make
such people more comfortable with reading information outside their comfort
zones, blogs can contain
information that is questionable because of a lack of
being based on reliable evidence.
Those who rely on other
people's blogs to get information about news or fashion trends often don't think
twice about whether the
posts are credible. They forget about the biases that often occur in these blog posts.
A blogger can pretend to be
an expert or journalist, without experience or a degree.
To many people it is simply
the truth, without question.
People tend to follow what
they like and therefore read
what they are interested in.
Sometimes
confirmation
bias, the act of looking f or
information that confirms
previously held beliefs, is a
related issue.

Books are worth investing in
B Y ALISON SEAGLE
SPORTS COLUMNIST
Now that the new semester is underway, the lines at
the bookstore have dwindled
and students are beginning to
crack open those books that
they've spent so much money on.
Some students are reading
their books, Or at least they
intend to. Not reading the
material occurs at CSUSM
as well as other schools. This
factors into the learning process and can affect even the
smartest individual's ability
to pass a class.
Regardless of major, students can be heard around
campus discussing their
reading assignments: they
have too much to read, they
read everything, they read
nothing, they only read for
classes they like, they only
read for classes they struggle
in or sometimes they don't
even bother getting the textbook for a class.
"It is ineffective for students to attend my classes
if they have not prepared by
reading the text, but I can't
speak for other professors,
who may work differently. The reason I give unannounced reading quizzes is
to provide external motivation for students to read the
assignments, as I find that
they largely do not read if I
don't provide some kind of
grade incentive," said Dr.
Heidi Breuer, a literature and
writing professor at CSUSM.
There are two important
factors every student should
consider before deciding to
forgo reading assignments:
their own personal learning
style and the format of their
course.
Everyone has different
ways that they learn. Some
studies suggest that people have different learning-styles or sense-based
best approaches for learning.
People can be auditory
learners, some learn better

when they have visuals to
aid them and others grasp
concepts best when kinesthetic activities are included
in the instruction. Just because a few classmates say
they think the reading is a
waste of time does not mean
it's useless.
In fact, many teachers
administer regular quizzes
based solely on the reading.
Perhaps students that shy
away from reading may just
learn better from lecture than
from reading. Other students
may prefer to do the reading
on their own and feel like
going to lecture is a waste of
time.
Students can go to the following link to get an idea of
what their learning style is so
they can develop study habits
to help them best understand
material: http://www.edutopia .org/multiple-intelligences-learning-styles-quiz.
The format of a course and
the teaching style that the
professor uses also play a
part in determining whether the reading assignment is
worthy of a student's time.
Some professors thoroughly cover all of the reading
in their lectures, and often
more, only assigning the
reading so that students can
get a preview before the lecture, and hopefully follow
along better or ask questions
if necessary.
Other professors assign
reading to be done before
class so that the material can
be discussed in class, where
students are able to share
their ideas and interpretations rather than just scribbling notes for an hour. It is
critical in classes of that format for all students to do the
reading so that everyone can
participate, more ideas can
be shared and a greater understanding of the topic can
be grasped.
If only a handful of the students do the reading, those
class discussions will not
be very lively and the students who have not read will
not get the most out of their
class.
Curling up on the couch
with a textbook to spend an
hour or two reading may not
sound like everyone's idea
of a fun night, but it may
be necessary for a student's
learning style or the best way
to prepare for a class so that
students can benefit the most
from taking that course.
The Cougar Chronicle will
be conducting an anonymous
survey on the subject of
reading textbooks and other
sources. To take the survey,

FASHION COLUMNIST
Vogue's February issue
will feature a retouched
photo of Lena Dunham and
some people feel the use of
Photoshop on the actress is
inappropriate.
In times where editing
photos is practiced, we can
reshape a person's body
through programs such as
Photoshop. Because of the
media's infatuation with unattainable beauty standards,
Photoshop has taken a primary role in the tool set of the
modern day magazine editor.
However, there are certain
situations where these photos
are criticized, such as how
they affect the way that people perceive attractiveness in
themselves and others.
A few CSUSM students
weighed in about the issue of
retouching on body images.
The representation of women
in the media is an issue that
students immediately pointed out problems with.
"In our society, the representation of women is a
complex and interesting issue," CSUSM student, Melisa Velazquez, said. "Women
for example are being objectified and judged by their
physical appearance. Even

DESIGN EDITOR
As buildings rise to higher
heights and neighborhoods
are designed to accommodate max capacity, the population is supposedly catching
up with itself.
Multiple sources trace the
national birth rate as it drops
and postulate possible causes. CSUSM students contradict the measures.
According to nation .time,
com, the American Census
shows that our 1 percent
population growth is the
lowest birth rate since the
Great Depression.
Based on the National Vital
Statistics Reports from the
U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services, the nation's conception rate had depleted by 3 percent between
2007 and 2010 and slightly
increased in 2011 and remained constant through
2012. The 1 percent growth
noted in 2013 still does not
surmount the rate for reproduction.

Vogue fashion magazine
just released their February
issue featuring actress Lena
Dunham from the show
"Girls." Some people feel
there is a paradox between
the spirit of the HBO show
and thé modifications the
magazine made to Dunham's
photos. The website Jezebel,
com offered $10,000 for "unretouched" photos of Dunham after the Vogue shoot.
The request was quickly answered.
Regarding the photos of
Dunham, critics pointed out
the obvious Photoshop retouches done to the actress's
body. According to Jezebel's
blog, she had the bags under
her eyes retouched, her smile
lines airbrushed, her jaw refined, among other changes.
Jezebel also claims Dunham
had numerous touch-ups,
such as her neck thinned and
brought in, her hips pulled
in and a male model's knee
raised to be closer to her.
According to "Gender and
Popular Culture" by Katie Milestone and Anneke
Meyer, "Women in popular
culture have always been
closely associated with and
scrutinized in terms of thenphysical appearance, for example the size and shape of
their appearance or the condition of their skins."
Some feel the need to be
worried about the long-term
effects of Photoshop's prevalence in Western media, citing children and eating disorders as the reason for these
concerns.
Consider the message of
the popular Buzzfeed. video,
"Watch Photoshop Transform Your Favorite Celebrities Right Before Your

Crossfit an exciting and communal form of exercise

If you have not heard of
crossfit yet, it is the recent
exercise regimen that consists of various high-intensity and functional movements
that enhance all aspects of
a person's performance and
fitness level.
What may seem strange
and unfamiliar has a remarkable way of bringing together the community. This is
one of the fundamental foundations that makes crossfit so
effective.
Crossfit has recently become a popular group exercise program involving many
different exercise routines,
weights and movements including barbells, jumping
squats and handstand pushups. It is different f rom that
of a traditional gym because
people are not only there to
get better themselves, but
everyone is working together to advance the entire
group. It prides itself on the
communal aspect, because
it gives people the support
and encouragement needed
to continue to benefit their

performance.
Although it is a program
focused on strength and conditioning, one of the principles of crossfit is that it does
not specialize in any particular sport or target muscles.
Each class is different in that
it changes its routines and
exercises so that you are always gaining new experiences. Crossfit encourages individuals to push themselves
and continues to challenge

your body to adapt to increased demands.
"It never gets easier, and
that's why people keep coming back," James, an instructor from Crossfit Mission
Gorge, said.
Due to its wide variety of
exercises and team effort,
Crossfit is ideal for any
committed individual that is
willing to try a new way of
exercising that is unlikely to
become boring.

Last season the Lady Cougars finished 13th as a team.
Finishing top 20 is an accomplishment in itself. This
season the women have

well last year such as Kelly
Thompson who was third
in the 5k, Brianny Williams
who was fifth in the hurdles
and Amber Rosario who
was an All American in the

of the strong returners and
new athletes adding to the
equation, the women's team
has the potential to be even
more competitive than they
were last year.
As for the men, this season
CSUSM has the whole team
back. This includes Maurice
Strickland, who was an All

the 4X800 and the 4x400.
The men will have their first

There should be a lot of
notable action to look out for
this year with returning and
new talent on both sides.
Brittany Hollie and Brianny Williams started the season off in style with excellent
performances at the Azusa
Pacific Indoor All-Comers
meet. Both placed second
in their qualifying heats,
and then ended up with the
third place overall time from
Hollie and a fourth place
time from Williams. An eye
should definitely be kept out
for both of these athletes
this year. Hollie has already
earned an automatic spot in
the NALA National Championships with her first performance as a Cougar. Williams
is eligible for nationals from
her performance in the 2013
Indoor Nationals.
"We have athletes who
have their events on lock
which is Kelly Thompson
in the 3k, Heidi Swanson in

Building CSUSM softball brick by brick
New coach leading team t hirsty for national title
B Y JUSTIN DONNER
SPORTS EDITOR
CSUSM softball is fast
paced, fun to watch, has free
admission for students and is
10 times better with a packed
house.
The team has done well
in the past, including four
straight NAIA National
Championship appearances,
but new coach Laurie Nevarez brings the skills necessary to continue building the
program for a university that
has experienced overall rapid
growth.
"She is a great coach and
great person. Coach Nevarez
holds us accountable, looks
out for our futures and puts
school first," senior outfielder, Brittney Guy, said.
Nevarez spent 10 years as
the head coach of the University of Redlands, and
had led the Bulldogs to nine
straight SCIAC titles. In fact,
her first game as a Cougar
was against her old school,
and the Cougars swept the
Bulldogs with a pair of victories.
"It was an intense first couple of games and we were
focused. I knew their players
because I had recruited a lot
of their roster," Coach Nevarez said.

T would like to have my

show that the Census demographics do not apply to their
parental status or the desire
to have a family. The average
number of desired children
among people that do want
to reproduce is two.
"I want to be able to give
my children all the advantages I didn't have and hopefully they can make a bigger
difference in the world for
the better. I would like to
have a child with or without
the married label as long as
my significant other is willing to help," psychology major, David Acosta said.
16 out of 30 surveyors state
that the recession and socioeconomic climate of society
has nothing to do with their
decisions to have children.
Half of the individuals interviewed state that the socioeconomic condition does
not affect their choice to get
married. All 30 participants,
however, are college students that will most likely
make more money after getting their degree than if they
had not.
CSUSM appears to be contradictory to Census projections for the social drive to
reproduce.
If the present birth rate
continues or escalates in depletion, America will soon
experience youth as the minority and the weight of society will once again rest on
its elders.

Nursing Beat
Starting out for Spring 2014
B Y MEGAN HABEGER
NURSING C OLUMNIST
The year 2014 promises
to be a momentous year f or
many of CSUSM's students,
whether they are excited to
be starting their first semester at the university or are
preparing f or a long-anticipated graduation.
For the pre-nursing students, they may be hoping
that this is the year they finally get accepted into nursing
school! However, in addition to focusing on those last
f ew prerequisite classes that
are needed to meet the application requirements, there
are a few extra steps that
pre-nursing students can be
taking even now to improve
their experiences once they
do get into the nursing program.
First: Learn to be a team
player! Nursing students
quickly realize that the independent study habits that got
them good grades in all their
other classes do not necessarily equate to success.
The structure of the nursing program is such that
students are thrown together
for two to three years (depending on the specific program) of constant group papers and projects. If they are
not handled properly, these
group assignments can be a
major source of stress and
even resentment between
classmates. Therefore, rather
than always relying solely on
yourself in order to avoid the
potential headache of group
work, start taking advantage
of any and all opportunities
to improve your teamwork
skills of communication and
coordination with your peers.
When in a group setting,
practice being assertive in
speaking up if there is an
inappropriate distribution of
the workload. Also be able
to discuss potential problems
calmly and respectfully rather than allowing frustrations
to escalate.
Learn to recognize the
strengths and weaknesses of
both yourself and those you
work with so your team can
make the most effective use
of each other's abilities.
The second, related, tip is:
Become an APA master! You
may have had some casual
exposure to various formatting guidelines in previous
classes, but once you are in
the nursing program (as with
all the sciences) you need to
develop an intimate familiarity with the formatting style
of the American Psychological Association (APA).
With an overwhelming
number of papers, care plans
and exams to keep up with
every week, you will not
have much time to spare for
figuring out what to include
on a title page or how to
properly create in-text citations. If you have mastered
the rules of APA formatting
ahead of time, you will not
only be doing yourself a favor, but you will quickly become a valuable resource for
your classmates.
Lastly, one of the best
things you can do to prepare
yourself is to gain hands-on
experience by working or
volunteering in a healthcare
setting.
Not only do volunteer
hours help you earn points
for the nursing program application, but more importantly, you gain valuable insight into the reality of life as
a health care professional.
Reading and studying
about Clostridium difficile in
a microbiology class is one
thing, but experiencing the
smell of a patient with C. diff
for the first time is what will
really help you determine if
nursing is for you!
Additionally, simply becoming familiar with the
terminology, equipment and
the roles of the various members of the healthcare team
will prove to be an invaluable advantage in minimizing the terror and confusion
that inevitably washes over
each and every nursing student when they show up in a
foreign environment for their
first day of clinicals!
Of course, each student
will have to make their own
way, whether through Nursing School or any other
program, but hopefully by
taking advantage of the tips
and tricks that others have
discovered through personal
experience, future students
can avoid unnecessary frustrations and make this year a
success!

Restaurant Review
Trying out t he new Habit Burger Grill
B Y RICO PALMERIN
SENIOR STAFF W RITER
Located hardly 10 minutes
from CSUSM campus, the
Habit Burger Grill provides
a refreshing and inexpensive
food stop.
On the menu, the Habit
flaunts the slogan "There's
no substitute for quality!"
Rest assured, the small
restaurant takes its slogan
seriously. With virtually all
of the menu being under 10
bucks, the Habit is the perfect
place for any college student
looking for an affordable and
filling meal.
The Habit goes for a mix
between beachside grill
and modern restaurant with
metallic high chairs, wood
floors and tables and various,
small lighting. Providing an
easy-going mood, the Habit
plays a mixture of soft rock
and rock music and has several beach-themed paintings
on the walls.
As for the food and menu,
the Habit is strikingly reminiscent of the popular fast
food joint In N Out Burger.
The menu can easily be divided into three main categories: Charbugers, grilled
sandwiches and fresh salads.
Smaller categories include a
kids section, sides and cold
desserts, such as shakes,
malts and cones.
The Habit's food is exceptionally prepared and arrives
with that look that says "we
took care to prepare this"—
as opposed to the fast food
look of "we made this as fast
as we could."
Considering flavor, the
double Charburger (two
ground beef patties) is superb, and the flavor lasts 4 till
the final bite. Each burger is
customizable and favorites
like avocado, mushrooms
and bacon can be added for
a small fee. Also, the fries aren't bad, just not as memorable as the main course.
For a burger grill, the Habit's salads are surprisingly
elaborate and include a variety of vegetables that taste
extremely fresh. If you're
picky about your dressings,
they offer several different
choices, a few being blue
cheese, vinaigrette and classic ranch.
If you're a fan of In N
Out or other fast food burger joints and looking for
something a little bit classier, chances are you'll find
the Habit to be right up your
alley. If burgers aren't your
thing, the Habit maintains
quality in all categories of
the menu, so give it a try!
The Habit Burger Grill is
located on the corner of San
Marcos Blvd. and Grande
Ave: 727 W San Marcos
Blvd.

B Y A NNE H ALL
DESIGN EDITOR
Valentine's Day is right
around the comer and there
are lots of reasons to celebrate this holiday.
Personally, I always found
The Day to be an excuse for
women to make men spend
money to pamper them and
prove their affections for
one extra day out of the year.
Many-a-times, I 've seen all
hell break loose because that
just didn't quite happen for
one reason or another and
the poor man was left to pay
some kind of consequence.
Growing up, all that ever
really happened on The Day
was making pink and red
hearts for valentines. Then
we would find out who got
the most by the end of the
day and exchanged candy
while the grown-ups left all
us kids behind to do whoknows-what without us. That
never seemed to be much to
look forward to. I have to admit that I did adore the flower deliveries; that part never
gets old.
As I got older I came to
realize that there is so much
more to Valentine's Day than
passing out decorative cards,
stuffing peoples faces with
sweets and topping one romantic date after the other.
Learning of the Roman Emperor, Claudius H , who made
a martyr of one Saint Valentine completely altered my
perception of The Day and
gave it a new meaning.
Claudius forbade young
men to wed for the sake
of having an abundance of
soldiers. This Saint Valentine felt that it was wrong to
forbid soldiers from marrying and performed marriage
rights in secret, despite Claudius decree. For that, he was
imprisoned and beheaded.
He sacrificed his life for the
sake of defending true love.
In some versions of the story, he found love for himself
in the process and coined
the phrase "Your Valentine."
That part I think Hallmark
was more responsible for.
Of course, Feb. 14 was selected to represent Saint Valentine's Day because it was
conveniently the same time
frame that pagans celebrated
the Lupercalia. It is a holiday that introduces the right
of spring and is based on the
ideals that being whipped by
hides would grant fertility.
Many occasions of pairings
during this time were told
to have ended in marriages.
Birds and other animals were
also exercising their natural
fertility cycles around this
timeframe as well. Ironic? I
don't think so.
I never had celebrated
the couples' holiday until I shared them with my
best friend, who now just
happens to be my husband.
Without him, it would just
be another day full of people
stuffing faces full of sweets
and trying to prove their affections where I think they
could just do that at any time
of life. Yet, I would continue to take a moment of pause

Constant exposure to WiFi
may be negatively impacting
student health.
Internet access is a main
concern for the majority of
students, especially with the
growing number of classes
turning to online resources.
The WiFi that allows students to have access to the
materials they need can lead
to numerous health problems.
WiFi uses electromagnetic radiation in order to send
signals through the walls of a
building and to the computer hooked up to the wireless
network. This leads to small
doses of EMF radiation exposure. The closer you are
to a wireless modem and the
more time you spend near a
wireless network, the more
radiation you are taking in.
Many students even have
their own WiFi modems
within their apartments or
homes, exposing them to this
electromagnetic radiation at
a much closer range. In addition, if this modem is not
turned off at night then you
are being exposed to small
doses of radiation 24/7.
The electromagnetic radiation that is released by WiFi
modems has prompted some
scientists to believe that they
cause adverse health effects.
Dr. Henry Lai published a
study in which he argues that
radio frequency radiation,
which is released by wireless
internet modems as well as
cell phones and other forms
of wireless technology, cause
health effects. These include
cancerous tumors and genetic effects, including damage
to DNA. Other noted symptoms that are argued to result
from wireless modem radia-
tion over time are sleep disturbance and an increase of
migraines.
While the radiation received from wireless modems is at a much smaller
dose and not as harmful as
the radiation received from
cell phones, I still believe
that students should try to
reduce their exposure time
where they can. For students
that have their own wireless
modems, unplug when not
in use to reduce your daily
amount of exposure. Try to
spend some time outdoors
where the radiationnis less
potent. I also think that the
campus might consider
shutting the WiFi off in the
student housing areas for
a few hours when internet
activity is consistently the
lowest, allowing students to
sleep without the presence
of harmful electromagnetic
radiation.

OPINION EDITOR
Some Trader Joe's locations throughout California
are now charging customers
for grocery bags in the hopes
of minimizing environmental waste.
T J.'s is no stranger to promoting higher standards of
consumption. The grocery
stores are best recognized
for their plethora of cost-efficient organic local meats
and produce and their nonGMO ingredients. Stores
emphasize the importance
of good quality food and service. They even accommodate gluten-free, kosher and
plant-based dieters. T J.'s
also focuses much of its attention on aiding environmental preservation.
According to the website
"Eco-conscious," in 1977
T J.'s became the first grocery company to market the
sale of reusable shopping
bags, a campaign known as
"Save a Tree." In Sept. 2012,
the company announced
their decision to charge cus-

tomers 10 cents f or each
paper bag used when shopping. Charges were originally implemented in the Santa
Monica location in 2011 after a city ordinance was set
in place to eliminate plastic
bag waste as well as to help
regulate and minimize paper
bag usage.
Not all areas of Southern
California have been affected by the new fee declaration. However, city locations
neighboring San Marcos,
including Los Angeles, Long
Beach and San Gabriel, have
implemented charges and
the trend is sure to spread
towards the San Diego area.
The goal of the new bag
C ONTACTS
csusm.cougarchronide@gmail.com
fee is to help decrease paper
pollution by promoting the
one-time purchase of reusable bags. Although some
have noted their distaste for
the new charges, this remains
a small but effective way for
such a popular and renowned
corporation to help increase
environmental
consciousness through its wide array
of customers.
Waste continues to have
a devastating impact on
the United States ecosystem. Employing this sort of
change will force a sense of
awareness at a time when it
is imperative for the US population to begin embracing
cleaner consumption habits.

Now at the start of the
spring semester, I am struck
with curiosity as I notice that
the new University Student
Union building is open.
Last semester, anytime I 'd
walk from the Sprinter station to school, I would see
construction on my right and
left as I ascended the stairs of
Chavez Circle. I never paid
this much heed and I didn't
care much for whatever they
were doing. It was just another ordinary day.
With some down time in
between classes, I decided to
check out the new building.
I was more than just mildly
surprised. I felt like a kid in a
candy store.
The USU could aptly be described as a college student's
heaven. There are plenty of
places to gather and study,
but perhaps the best place
this time of year is on the
green roof. Next to a garden
filled with 15 different kinds
of plants, this is a wonderful
place to get together with
friends because it takes into
account that we live in California, and weather is swell
this time of year.
Students and so on. If your
favorite club c an't be found
near Craven, you might want
to stop by here to find it.
On the first floor, there is
a commuter's lounge made
mainly for people on the
go. With a vending machine
stocked with drinks (but no
Pepsi, oddly), places to sit
and catch a breath and two
microwaves, this is a nice
place for anyone to chill at.
There is a cafe on the other side of the fourth floor,
where you can grab your
morning cup of j oe, making
three coffee places on campus. Just beyond that there
is a convenience store where
you can get some supplies
for living on your own, like
deodorant, instant meals,
etc., as well as snacks that
you previously were only
able to find in on-campus
vending machines. There is
also a fruit-smoothie bar for
students who are health enthusiasts.
Don't even get me started
on the ballroom; the largest room in any building on
campus.
Overall, hanging out at the
USU is an experience no
CSUSM student will want to
miss.

Celebrating the lives of
women around world
BY KATLIN SWEENEY
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Student
organizations
Feminists Unite will be presenting a night of laughter
and tears as an alternative
to the traditional Valentine's
Day celebration.
The Vagina Monologues
originate from the play written by Eve Ensler of the
same name. Ensler traveled
around the world to conduct
a series of interviews, ask-,
ing women questions about
their lives and sexuality.
The answers she received
ranged from happy to sad,
reflected in the stories that
would later become the plays
framework. The .Vagina
Monologues is £ script that
presents the lives and experiences of women across the
globe. Performed all around
the world, CSUSM will be
hosting its own interpretation of the script as has been
done in the past.
Feminists Unite members
Karen Guzman and Ashley
Gutierrez have spearheaded
the organization of the event
and look forward to seeing
the performers take to the
stage this Valentine's Day.
"Most of the performances have an introduction, so
someone will give a one
minute speech about what is
going to come up next. While
it is performed in different
languages around the world,
the script is always the same.
You never know what is going to come next. The point
of it is to raise awareness
about violence against women," Gutierrez said.
The Vagina Monologues
are typically anywhere between an hour and a half to
two hours in duration. This
includes an intermission,
which this year will include
the opportunity to win prizes.
There will also be a tabling
event beforehand, where
students can meet different
groups and gather various
resources dedicated to social
justice. The tabling starts 45
minutes before show time.
The Vagina Monologues
will take place in English on
Friday, Feb. 14 at 7 p.m. and
in Spanish on Saturday, Feb.
15 at 7 p.m. It will be in the
Arts 111 Performance Hall.

In December of last year,
a Youtube video entitled
"Fukushima Radiation Hits
San Francisco" caused community uproar.
The amateur video is seven
minutes long and is of a man
walking along the Pacifica
State Beach in San Francisco
with a Geiger counter radiation detector. The detector
alarms once he gets closer to
the ocean, showing that radiation levels are five times
higher than what is typically
found in that area.
Radiation can affect us all
in many ways, causing cancer and even affecting the
seafood that we all enjoy,
making it toxic for humans
to consume. After the video
became viral, officials investigated the radiation levels
along the pacific. Their response was not as alarming.
Dr. Daniel Stram from
the University of Southern
California is a preventative
medicine professor that had
studied the effects of radia-
tion from Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He said the data collected so far on Fukushima
does not show a health risk.
He believes that there is no
way the radiation levels that
were detected could affect
our seafood.
It is comforting to know
that government officials
have properly tested our
beaches, but I still believe
that this is something that
everyone should keep an eye
on. I believe that the best
thing for us to do as a community is be aware of our

Going green with solar energy
B Y CHELSEY SCHWEITZER
SENIOR STAFF W RITER
Electricity plays a large
part in the life of the average
American. Using solar panels to power residences and
workplaces can help people
save money as well as the
environment.
Solar power can come
from many different sources, some of which are much
"greener" than others. One of
the cleanest forms of energy
that is available today is solar energy, which uses solar
panels to create electricity
from the sun's rays.
Solar panels serve as a
more positive alternative to
coal or nuclear energy as it
reduces the amount of greenhouse gases and pollutants
that are released into the air.
If enough people were to
switch to solar energy, this
would slow the rate of global warming and fossil fuel
consumption. This form of
energy is less likely to drain
precious resources as the sun
is an energy source that is
present the majority of the
time. There are even technologies available that allow for
the storage of electricity generated from the solar panels
for use at night or on cloudy
and rainy days.
Not only do solar panels
save the environment, they
also save people money.
While solar panels can be
expensive to install initially
depending on the company
being used and the type of
panel being installed, once
the initial payment is taken care of the panels will
immediately begin t o save
consumers money. According to the newspaper "The
Observer," energy prices
have increased by approximately 37 percent since Oct.
2010. These price increases
on electricity do not apply to
solar panels. There are even
federal and state incentives
that allow for people with
solar panels to save additional money through tax breaks
and other methods depending on where you live.
I believe that more people
should switch to solar energy. Although solar energy is
not necessarily cheap to begin with, it ends up saving
money in the long run and
requires little to no maintenance depending on the type
of panels purchased. More
important than the financial
savings, solar panels are better for the environment and
much safer than the majority of the methods currently
used to provide the United
States with energy. Improvements are constantly being
made to solar panels to help
produce newer and more efficient models and at an international level.
Solar energy could help to
slow global wanning by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the consumption of
fossil fuels.

PIONEER/TUESDAY, MAY 14, 1991
Chapman gains presidential position
LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER
History major Jose Chapman was named as the first president of Cal
State San Marcos' Associated Students following a run-off election
between him and Mathematics major Barbara Pender last Tuesday and
Wednesday. Chapman received 99 of the 160 votes cast in the election.
The run-off election was called after Chapman failed to obtain the
presidential seat in the April 22 and 23 election by three votes. In order to
obtain the seat of president, a candidate must garner 50 percent of the votes
plus one vote to constitute a simple majority.
"I have mixed feelings about the elections," said Chapman. "I was
disturbed by the 50 percent plus one rule. It created a lot of hardships
among the small student body."
Chapman said that the extra time spent campaigning for the second
election could have been used for class study. He also said the smaller
number of students voting caused him to be concerned over who the
winner might be.
Business major William Jungman obtained five post-baccalaureate
votes to gain a council seat over opponent John Cave, who received two
votes. Jungman is a dentist who practices in Escondido.
The turnout, which represented 25 percent of the student population,
was 10 percent smaller than that of die April ballot. Dean of Student
Services Ernest Zomalt said that traditionally, run-off elections draw a
smaller crowd than the first ballots. He also indicated that his department
might have undermined the turnout
by holding elections on a Wednesday.
"I think we out-thought ourselves
by moving the election to Tuesday
arid Wednesday," he said. "We didn't
realize that there were not any
Wednesday night classes."
Zomalt said he still felt that anybody who wanted to vote had the
opportunity to do so, but indicated
future elections will be planned after
consulting the class schedule.
JOSE CHAPMAN/
The A.S. Council will meet during
PRESIDENT-ELECT
the summer to discuss budgetary
problems facing the organization. In the April election, the ballot
measure enabling the student government to collect fees from its
constituency was turned down. As a result, the victorious Measure B,
which affixed a $15 student fee to members of the A.S., could not be
implemented.
According to Zomalt, the student government needs money for
incorporation by the fall semester.
"The budget is first priority," said Chapman. The president-elect said
that during the summer he and the Council will engage in dialogues on

Signet Armorlite, a local eyeglass lens
manufacturer that has recently topped the list
of toxic emitters in Sail Diego County, wants
the surrounding community to view it in a
different way.
According to the county's Air Pollution
Control District, the firm has already cut emissions of methylene chloride by 25 percent, and
plans to reduce the discharge of the suspected
carcinogen by as much as 90 percent in the
next few years.
Officials from the APCD estimate that Signet will achieve a 50 percent reduction rate by
the end of 1991, and a 75 percent rate of
reduction by March 1992.
"The pollution reduction program will reduce annual emissions of methylene chloride
by 205 tons by January 1992 and 384 tons by
March 1994," said Richard Sommerville, air
pollution control officer.
Signet, which is located about a quartermile west of Cal State San Marcos, was ranked
as the top toxic emitter for 1987 and 1988 in a

With student evaluations expected
this week, students at Cal State San
Marcos are still wondering what has
become of last semester's evaluations.
According to administrators,
evaluations from last semester were
not used for retention, tenure, or promotion (RTP) purposes. The questionnaires, filled out by students at the
close of last semester, were returned
to instructors without being viewed
by the university.
College officials contend that
CSUSM was not obligated to use last
semester's evaluations in personnel
rehiring; but some feel that the
university's intentions with the
evaluations was misleading.
Victor Rocha, dean of the College
of Arts and Sciences said there are
two ways student evaluations of
teachers can be used. The first is to
give student feedback to the instructors so that they can "enhance the
quality of instruction."
The second use of the evaluations
is to aid decision-making in Person-
nel Services. 'The sole purpose (of
the fall evaluations) was to improve
teaching," said Rocha.
According to Rocha, evaluations
for instructors in his college Were
copied and kept for his personal
records to have available for review
with instructors. Thé originals were
then given to tlje individual teachers.
No evaluations were placed in personnel files.
"He (Rocha) certainly didn't talk
to me about studentevaluations," said
former CSUSM part-time English'
Professor James Mack. "In fact he
couldn't find them."
Mack said instructors were led to
believe that the evaluations would be
used in the hiring process for spring
semester. He said that, by not placing
evaluations in the personnel files,
CSUSM is violating union contract
provisions.
Article 15.14 of the California
Faculty Association's Union Contract
states that, "Written questionnaire
student evaluations shall be required
for faculty unit employees who teach."
The article states that the evaluation
results shall be placed in the faculty
unit employee's personnel file.
CSUSM officials draw from Article 15.22 ofthe union contract, which
indicates that the university is not
obligated to review the personnel files
for part-time instructors who have
taughttwpsem^tQrsQrless.
I lie decision to withhold evaluations from theRTPprocess came from
the Faculty Affairs Committee of the
Academic Senate. Stella Clark, chair
of the committee, said that the organization'Could not agreaupon how to

said the committeedid decide toreturn
the evaluations to the individual instructors for review.
"The process of interpreting
evaluations is still very undefined,"
said Clark. "We think student evaluations are integral, but we haven't
reached a system."
"When I joined in January, I was
informed that the Academic Senate
had had some trouble getting its work
done," Rocha said. "The A.S. really

Warden indicated that the committee has decided on a form that is

"If students are close to graduating, then we recommend they go to
the main campus. If they have 30
units or more left to complete, then
we recommend they transfer here,"
Zomalt said.
About 100 SDSU undergraduates
attended two separate information
sessions last week to learn about their
options as continuing undergraduates
amidst the closing of their North
County campus.
Cal State San Marcos officials told
those who attended that they were
welcome to transfer to the new school,
but that they would not get priority in
the registration process.
The option of concurrent enrollment, wherein SDSU students can
take classes at Cal State San Marcos
with all the units applying towards
their SDSU financial aid, was the best
received of the ideas presented.
Unfortunately, according to some
of the students present, the Cal State
San Marcos schedule is either too
small, or irrelevant, to make use of
current classes.
In particular, Accounting and Finance majors at SDSU North County
feel that they have no choice but to
drive south to finish their programs.
The finance students observed that
Cal State San Marcos has almost no
finance classes, and the Accounting
majors were discouraged that the Cal
State San Marcos accounting curriculum is still awaiting secondary accreditation.
Zomalt said students transferring
over completely to CSUSM will be
given priority over those concurrently
enrolled in both colleges.
San Marcos, it makes good sense to
try to keep the transition smooth."
CSUSM Executive Vice President
Richard Rush said that CSUSM is
currently negotiating with SDSU over
the use of SDSU-run facilities.
"Negotiations with SDSU, as always, have been most cordial and
helpful. We anticipate things to stay
largely the same," said Rush.
According to University Library
Librarian Bonnie Biggs, the library's
collection, including bodes, microfilm and periodicals will remain at the
North County site. Biggs also said
that the computers will remain on
campus.
"All the books stay here. We have
been blessed," said Biggs. "It's my
understanding that the computer labs
will stay intact for the next academic
year."
Rush indicated that some items,
like the piano in the Student Lounge,
are on loan by SDSU and must be
returned.
Most of the administration of
SDSUNorth County will transferover
to the CSUSM side of the parking lot
next fall. Last year, the members of
the North County campus staff were
asked to sign letters of intent, which
gave them the opportunity to transfer
their positions to CSUSM.
According toRush,alloftheSDSU
personnel indicated that they would
prefer to move to CSUSM.
"We don't face the personal tragedy of having to lay people off. We're
looking at growth," said Rush.

group indicated that Signet is responsible for one percent of
California's ozone-depleting emissions.
In February of last year, Signet
unveiled the $1.5 million plan to reduce emissions, after officials at
nearby Palomar College expressed
their concerns.
After hearing of the amounts of
chemicals released into the air, PalomarSuperintendent/PresidentGeorge
Boggs requested a computerriskassessment test to evaluate possible effects of the emissions on the public.
Signet countered the request by ordering a more accurate and costly
$100,000 actual assessment of the
plant's emissions.
"I give them a lot of credit," said
Dick Smith, deputy director of the
APCD. 'They just said, 'let's spend
extra money.'"
The risk assessment uses assumptions that overestimate the chance of
contracting cancer to assure that the
actualriskis lower, said officials from
the APCD. For example, the maximum residential risk is calculated for
a hypothetical person who resides at
the point of maximum emissions impact 24 hours a day, 365 days a year,
for 70 years.
The test, conducted by Envirologic
Data of San Diego, revealed that
emissionsfromthe Signet facility do
not pose any imminent or short term
danger to public health and safety.
However, it did show a possible increased cancer risk from long term
exposure to methylene chloride emissions.
The news of Signet's toxic reductions comes on the heels of an effort
by the company to assist CSUSM in
its Business Partners Program.
Although no formal announcement
has been made by the College of Business, a Signet official confirmed the
company's application to the program.
"We have gone in and signed the
papers and have even sent in our donation already," said a Signet spokesperson.
According to the source, Signet
sent its application to the college on
March 5. A $1,000donation qualified
them as a partner in the Business
Partners Program.
The program will link each College of Business student with a local
businessman who will serve as a mentor. The program will be fully implemented next fall with four different
levels of business partners.
As of press time, only HewlettPackard has been announced by the
university as a business partner. The
university would not formally confirm Signet's involvement

In 1980, under the Clean Air Act, the EPA
was given the responsibility of determining
what toxic substances to regulate. The EPA
has performed this task dreadfully.
Potentially toxic substances are not researched thoroughly, if at all, as to their
potential effects on humans. Of the nearly
70,000 chemicals now in use by businesses,
less than 2,000 have been properly tested.
When the EPA says that a "substance has not
been proven harmful," businesses are able to
still use chemicals, like methylene chloride,
and still remain within the EPA's substandard
regulations.
The APCD is equally at fault for propagating the problem. Despite a recent State
Supreme Court ruling giving counties the
right to regulate potentially dangerous substances, the APCD still follows the EPA's
mediocre guidelines.
Foreseeing possible future regulations and
responding to the local college community's
sensitivity to the subject of toxic emissions,
Signet is making an effort to regulate methylene chloride usage on its own accord.
This year the company is moving down the
list of top county emitters by reducing emissions 25 percent By 1994, the company will
be off the list by miles.
When you consider that this aggressive
emissions reduction program was instigated
by Signet due to community response and not
by the APCD or the EPA, it is apparent that
the real bad guys are the agencies that should
know better.

A THOUGHTS
"I thank everybody
in this book for

ALICE WALKER,
'THE COLOR PURPLE'
system, but not forced by the faculty.
I believe that some students have legitimate
concerns about the writing requirement and
teaching goals.
While others disagree with the writing requirement because they do not want to do the
work, some complain about the workload. CSU
San Marcos should retain the writing requirement
Also, CSU San Marcos should balance
teaching with applied and theoretical research
so that 50 perfect of the faculty's time is devoted
to teaching and the other 50 percent be devoted
to applied and theoretical research.
If the university aspires to these principles,
then we, as students, will be better prepared to
either enter the labor market or graduate school.
Thus students and the local community benefit
in having a well-rounded institution of higher
learning that serves all and not just a few individuals.
There were two opinions I disagreed with
that appeared in Pioneer on April 30. These
opinions were the writing requirement ("Your
Views") and instructional goalsCTeachinggoals

PUBLIC FORUM
Some students have complained about the
writing requirement and how cumbersome it is.
I believe that the writing requirement is essen- process. I believe that Mr. Hammond was in

essay examinations which make students use
analytical and critical skills?
Personally, I do not want to be a robot and
regurgitate information and play a multiple guess
game with scantron examinations which do not
help develop better analytical, critical, and
writing skills.
Although, I concede on the argument made
by Lora Coad ("Writing requirement has become
a sore spot") that some instructors are
unimaginative about writing assignments. Her
argument about making excuses for returning
students being thrown into intensive writing
assignments because they lack the skills is an
absurd excuse.
The real world also has assignments and
duties one must complete to be successful at
life. The university is a mere training ground for
the grueling graduate work and/or labor market.
The other opinion article that I disagree with
is David Hammond's editorial titled 'Teaching
goals need evaluation." .
Mr. Hammond asserts that many students are
exhausted with the amount of work required for
upper division courses. I believe that the assignments are hard and challenging, but is not life or
attaining an advanced degree hard and challenging?
Another point, where I disagree with Mr.
Hammond, is with the way the faculty is retained.
He states that student evaluations should account for 75 percent of the retention/promotion

Vista batting coach
strengthens players' swing
J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
Getting to first base is the main goal
of a player in the game of baseball.
Once a batter hits that round ball
squarely with his bat, this is where he
is headed.
In the game of batting performance,
the Hitting Zone in Vista tries to get
players to the next base.
"What we try to do here is get
players to the next level by
strengthening ability, talent and
mechanics," said Jim S ullivan, Hitting
Zone owner. The next level could
mean getting into Little League or
acceptance into a college program
from high school.
The Hitting Zone is not just an
indoorbatting facility, its purpose is
to coach batting. Only a couple months
past a year old, the business has*about
45 to 50 students and a few success
stories already.
Why? Because this unique facility

all great hitters, the actual chain of

Sullivan is quick to stand and prove
his point He sets his body up in the
normal batting stance and explains
howrightand wrong information is
viewed by the students.
A quick lesson of myths and facts
shows Sullivan's love and personal
thrill for the game.
He says 70 percent of his students
have learned to roll their wrists as
they swing the bat, or fully extend
their arms throughout the swing.
Sullivan explains that these two
common misconceptions of hitting a
ball is corrected by watching the pros.
"If you can find it in the greatest
batters of all time, then I will use i t...
I'll be satisfied," he said. A slide
show, a number of video clips and
even the old favorite sport ofcollecting
baseball cards prove the facts that
correct many myths.
"It is fact," Sullivan said. "This is
what happens. There is no guessing.
"The hardest thing is when the kids
go back to the field and their coaches
tell them differently." Sullivan
explains that kids arefrequentlytorn
between his views and the views of
their coaches and have to make a
decision for themselves.
Some of those batters that have
followed the advice of Sullivan have
not only made it on base, but have
continued to round the diamond. He
has a proud list of success stories,
garnered in the few months he's been
open, but Sullivan says there's no
greater reward then being able to hit
that home run.

office door.

problems, true baseball fans still grabs
their mitts and Cracker Jacks and go
out to root for their favorite players.
That is the mystique of Major League
Baseball.
This phenomenon tells you a lot
about those people known as bleacher
bums, who have been through many
hardships and heartbreaks through the
years. Facing championships that
could have been and should have been
and enduring all conflicts and problems their favorite team or players
have had, they will be true to their
favorites to the end.
As for the legends of today who
will be the next DiMaggios, the
Mantles and the Aarons of the future.
One must look at the likes of Jose
Canseco, Roger "The Rocket"
Clemens, Dwight Gooden and Will
"The Thrill" Clark, just to mention a
few.
Some will say that's far fetched
but these are the new legends and
heroes of Major League Baseball
whose baseball cards will be clutched
to for dear life and whose names will
adorn the walls of Cooperstown, right
there with the Ruths, the Gehrigs and
the Mantles.
Now is the time to take advantage
of this great time in baseball in which
many records will fall and legends
will make their mark in this game we
call America's Greatest Pastime.

What happened to Major League
Baseball? How could America's
Greatest Pastime come down to the
greed of the ball player wanting more
money than the guy who's playing
next to him?
This is a team sport It takes all 24
players to work together to win a
pennant, but sometime you wouldn't
know i t
Some say the fiasco of these high
priced players started with the California Angels' signing ofpitcher Mark
Langston to a $16 million contract
last year. A $ 16 million contract, huh?
Of course, owner Gene Autry had one
thing in mind, and that was the hope
for a championship season. Langston
instead had a disappointing year and
still continues not to shine unlike he

did before he signed for big money.
How does a sport with so much
memorable history behind it bail out
of what seems to be an upcoming
economic problem? Let the highpriced players finish their contracts
out, then put a salary cap on them.
Those who don't want to play for less
money will have to find work elsewhere.
To fill the void, there's thousands
of young, aspiring minor league ball
players who would love to get a shot
in the bigs and become the new heroes
our era.
Something has got to happen. They
say in a few years, we'll be chocking
out bucks to watch the world series on
pay-for-view television. C'mon, let's
keep tradition.
We can't lose a sport like baseball
that has given us so many memories
and so many stars to remember. What
about the all-star games, the Championship play-offs and the fall classic
known as the World Series. They're
too precious to let go or see slide
away.
What happened to the dynasties of
baseball? Gone. How can one forget
the Cincinnati Reds' "big red machine" of the 1970s, the Dodger Blue
wrecking crew, the New York Yankees' Bronx bombers, thePhiladelphia
Phillies and the Pittsburgh Pirates?
Those powerhouses are long since
gone.
Let'sbring therealexcitementback
to the game like the goose bumps of
hearing Vin Scully call the Dodgers'
Kirk Gibsons' 1988 World Series
homerun in game one against the
Oakland As.
I believe baseball is here to stay,
but it has to take a new direction. It's
going to hit something and unless
something doesn't change, the sport
many love could be headed for problems. Hopefully it won't hurt the fans
as far as their wallets are concerned.

By the first pitch of the fourth
inning, I was ready for a hot dog. The
stale bun and indeterminable meat
product inside made me wonder why
baseball and hot dogs are inexorably
linked.
The flavor of the dog was crying
"foul" in my mouth by the fifth inning,
so I bought another Schlitz. It was a
little less tasteless than before.
I thought for sure I could get on
base during the sixth with an order of
ball park nachos. Thechips themselves
had no flavor and the sauce had the
watery consistency of the goo on the
dugout floor created by tobaccochewing pitchers. Yet, they tasted
better than anything so far.

During the eighth, I decided to
give the hot dogs another try. This
dog, for some unexplainable reason,
was the best I'dever tasted. I followed
it down with a box of popcorn, an ice
Cream sandwich, a churro and some
cotton candy. All were bursting with
flavor.
I tried the Cracker Jacks again in
the ninth, but got a crummy prize.
The total cost of the day's game
was $47.20. Service was excellent,
with vendors of all kinds roaming the
stands, and the atmosphere hit a
homerun in my book.
For those of you who like to go to
the ball park for just the food, you can
find better quality at a nearby movie
theatre, circus or swap meet. But,
none of those places have vendors
that can hit a bull's eye with a bag of
peanuts at a hundred yards.

Events open yacht races
R EGINA JOHN/PIONEER
Who has not at one time or
another dreamt of sailing around the
world - or at least into the sunset?
Who among us can look at that
certain painting or photograph
depicting a glistening ocean, blue
sky and a lone white sail at the
horizon without longing for distant
shores?
What is perhaps man's oldest
mode of travel on the waters of the
world still creates a lot of excitement today.
The passion for sailing could
clearly be felt at the May 3 opening
ceremonies for the 1991 International America's Cup Class
Championship at Seaport Village in
San Diego. The America's Cup
Committee, in conjunction with the
San Diego Port District, built an
International Village, adjacent to
Seaport Village, and a gigantic
stage on which opening and closing
ceremonies were presented and
entertainment throughout the week
took place.
Opening events
drew a good-sized
crowd of San Diegans
and sailing enthusiasts
from all over the
world, who gave the
suntanned crews and
their skippers from six
countries a hearty
welcome.
After addresses
from San Diego Mayor Maureen
O'Connor and other dignitaries,
ceremonies concluded with a truly
spectacular firework displays.
Racing on the approximately 22
nautical mile course off Point Loma
began the next day, and continued
daily until Saturday. Nine boats in
all were entered: U.S.A., three
(including Stars and Strips); Italy,
two; New Zealand, one; Japan, one
for the first time; Spain, one; and
France with one boat.
Fleet races, including all boats in
some, went on for the first five
days, semi-finals took place Friday
and finals occured Saturday.
Italy^s IIMor di Venezia, doing
well throughout the week, won the
semi-finals and went on to run a
perfect race to win against New
Zealand in the finals. Award
ceremonies took pace Saturday
evening and concluded with another
show of breathtaking fireworks.
But it's not over y et
Races will go on for an entire
year. The exciting events of the past
week were just the kick-off for "The
Year of the Cup" in San Diego,
culminating with the competition
for the coveted "America's Cup" by
May 1992.
Even though Dennis Conner
withdrew Stars and Stripes out of
this year's race before the finals,
perhaps Mayor O'Conner's quip
from her opening speech "... and
may the best Dennis Conner win"
will still turn out to be prophetic.
Championship sails into area
The same breeze that ruffled the flags in
downtown San Diego filled the sails of the
yachts participating in the'International
America's Cup Class World Championship
races this week. The same swells that gave
the surfers great hang ten waves gave the

Joyce Urbanski (Glenne Headly) and Cynthia Kellogg (Demi Moore) find that friendship and morality are on the
line when a murder investigation closes in on them in 'Mortal Thoughts.'
'Mortal Thoughts' not cliché
'Mortal Thoughts' is a murder
mystery that is far from being a tired
cliché. It involves the audience from
the first frame and keeps them guessing until the closing credits.
Demi Moore stars as Cynthia
Kellogg, who is being interrogated in
a police station by Harvey Keitel.
Through her viewpoint, we see the
story of her best friend Joyce Urbanski
(Glenne Headly) and her friend's
husband (Moore's real-life husband
Bruce Willis).
When Cynthia's friend married
James Urbanski, there was trouble
from the start. His abusive behavior
becomes worse as the years pass and
his wife often talks of killing him.
One night at a carnival, a druggedout James pushes his final button and,
as Cynthia tells the police, her friend
slits his throat with a knife. Together,
they dump the body in ariverand vow
never to tell anyone what happened.
natural as Cynthia. She adopts a
Brooklyn accent that sounds like she
was born with it. Headly and Willis
also do very well with their respective
parts. It's not very hard to see Willis
as an abusive, bullying type.
It's also a credit to Moore and
Willis that their real relationship
doesn'tshow through their adversarial
roles.
