Was the Revolutionary War revolutionary for women?
Cal State San Marcos founding faculty
member and current history professor, Joan
Gundersen, answers this and many other
rarely asked questions in her new book. To
Be Useful To The World" tells of the interrelated lives of women in the time of the Revolutionary War and generations past..
White privileged, white indentured,
black slave and Native American women are
shown to affect each other's cultures and everyday lives.
"Women weren't as restricted as we tend
to think" says Gundersen in an interview.
During the Revolution woman's roles were
perceived using a different ideology.
For example their role in the family was
seen as more of an economic activity, than a
private, family, nurturing activity. The knitting of a quilt was done for the economic benefit of the family, where as a generation later
it was looked upon as a labor of love. In the
same time period the home went from public
territory to a very private place.
Another scarcely known role that women
performed was that of the Women of the Regiment. Both British and American forces employed women in the military during the
Revolutionary War. After the war these tasks
fell to males members of the infantry.
Gundersen points out that information
about the actions of women in history was
available to people of the 19th century, it simply had to be reported in a way they would
understand it. From the Revolution to the 19th
century people saw women as increasingly
domestic. Eventually ideas such as women
holding a paid position in the miilitary became unthinkable.
C oncerning women of the p eriod
Gundersen says "there were a few more losers than winners."
Other perceptions we might have of
women of that period are also challenged by
the relatively high rate of pre-marital sex in
1750's. Sometimes as many as half a communities women were pregnant when married.
Time and population chanegd the lives
of slave women. Gundersen studied one slave
woman named Peg. She was born in Africa
and, once here, lived among ten other slaves.
Soon she was the only woman. This made
the family structure different. Being a slave
woman classified her as a double minority. A
slave culture developed as slave importation
increased from 1740-1770. Peg's daughter
Amy lived in a community where her mother
didn't.
Gundersen writes that the lives of Native American woman were directly affected
by the actions, assumptions, and pressures of
the whites around them. The more land the

Professor files suit against
mother of former student
By Tony Barton
Editor-in-Chief
The mother of a former Cal State San
Marcos student has been charged for repeatedly
calling and allegedly verbally harassing a business professor last spring. _
Business professor Dick Montanari filed a
complaint with the campus police May 17. Campus officials turned the matter over to the Vista
District Attorney's office, which then filed a
misdemeanor charge of repeated telephone calls
to annoy against Rhea Lee, the mother of former
student Benjamin Lee. The charge cited recordings of 13 calls made to Montanari's campus
voice mail and home answering machine in
March and May.
The phone calls stemmed from Benjamin
Lee's disagreement with a grade of C he received in Montanari's Business 302 class the
previous fall. Despite a settlement of an informal grievance dispute that raised his grade to a
B, Benjamin filed a formal grievance with
Montanari, hoping to change his grade to an A.
Prior to filing the grievance, Benjamin accepted an extra-credit assignment offered by
Montanari, that the professor said could raise
his grade to an A.
Lee later recanted on the grounds that the
assignment's point value was not sufficient to
give him an A.
Instead, Lee pursued the formal grievance
process.
Montanari insists that Lee could have
earned an A with the assignment.
In the f irst t hree c alls, m ade t o
Montanari's office, Rhea Lee questioned
why her son's grade had not been changed.
The recordings showed her also threatening
to try to sway local students from attending
CSUSM by telling them about the problems
between Montanari and her son. In a recent
statement, Montanari said he was waiting for
Benjamin's assignment to be turned in to
give him his final grade, not knowing he had
decided against doing it.
Rhea Lee later made six recorded calls
to Montanari's home and four more calls to
his office, informing the professor that she
planned to file "blackmail" charges against
him. She also said she would fax the CSU
Chancellor's office materials on Montanari
and, citing her 30 years as a health care professional, recommended that he undergo a
psychological evaluation.
No action was taken by the Chancellor's
office in response to Rhea Lee's fax or to a
letter mailed by her in October. The Lees
also met with President Stacy, who directed
them back to the grievance process.
Recently, Rhea Lee said, "(Montanari)
is taking his personal problems out on his
students, its got to end."
Rhea Lee says she called Montanari "in

Stowell named last year's
outstanding professor
By Larry Uleman
Pride Staff Writer
Dr. Laurie Stowell, an associate professor in the
college of education, has been named the 1996-97
Outstanding Professor. A selection committee, composed of faculty members, administration, and a student representative, selected her because of her outstanding contributions to her students, academic discipline, and the community.
Stowell was chosen from twelve other nominees who all have a superlative teaching record,
quality contributions in the areas of research, and
service to the campus and community.
It is gratifying to be awarded for something you
love to do," said Stowell."(CSUSM) is an exciting
place to be. It is nice to be in a program which you
can help to create."
I know what it takes to get this award, and
Stowell certainly stands out from a pool of outstanding candidates to be this year's recipient," said Dr.
Wang, last years winner who was also on this year's
selection committee.
Stowell received her bachelor's degree at Capital University in Columbus, Ohio. She received her
master's and doctorate degrees at Ohio State University. She began teaching at CSUSM in 1992 as
an assistant professor and in 1996 she advanced to
associate professor.
She currently teaches introduction to children's
literature, Advanced children's literature in the
master's program, and language and literacy for credential students. She supervises student teachers
and is the co.-chairwoman of the CSUSM United
Way, chairwoman of the service learning committee, and is involved in the accrediting of other colleges of education on a national level.
Stowell will be the fourth professor to receive
this award at CSUSM. Previous winners include
Dr. Renee Curry, Dr. Kenneth Mendoza, both professors of literature and writing, and computer science professor Dr. Stanley Wang.
Each winner of this award receives a plaque,
and a picture which is placed near the front door of
Craven hall. They also receive $1,000. A campus
ceremony is being planned for later in the semester.

good faith."
(In the messages) I said 'call me, let's work this out.'
Those calls were made in good faith," she Lee said.
Montanari does not share her sentiments.
"I fell grieved. Mrs. Lee said things about me
and to me that are thoroughly untrue, vicious and
malicious."
Benjamin's initial problem with Montanari arose
when his class point-total was lowered half-a-grade
by a low peer evaluation score.
Benjamin, who now attends a UC campus, filed
a second grievance over the summer saying that
Montanari's peer grading system lacked proper
"checks and balances." The grievance was not answered until last week in a letter by Professor Joan
with the ways of the Natives within them. The U.S.
has taken much from the Native cultures that first
inhabited this land.
Gundersen gathered this information through
studies of the American Revolution that described
women's lives and through diaries, letters, tax
records, and other fragmented sources. Her endeavor took years of compiling information and
comparing life histories.
She points out that there was no single factor
that changed the ways in which people thought of
the roles of women. It was many different forces
that brought women's status backward and forward,
moving up to the present.
Gundersen, the new chair of the grievance committee.
Gundersen's letter states that under new grievance policies Benjamin has 60 days from this
semester's beginning to settle the dispute informally,
through the college of business' chain of command.
If good faith efforts by Ben are ignored by the
college, the grievance committee will review his
claims.
Rhea Lee feels that she and her son have already satisfied the informal grievance process, as
they have met with Montanari and the college of
business dean, Newton Margulies.
"This seems to prove that student rights are unimportant to the administration," she said.
Rhea Lee's trial is awaiting a date
New grievance policies will be formally announced this semester, once a few items are ironed
out, according to Gundersen. One added feature is
a time-line for grievance filing.

�LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Pmde, Thuxsday, Fekftuauy 27, 1996
Computing is doing
the best it can
Dear Editor,
In response to last issue's letter on
(among other things) the difficulty of getting connected to the CSUSM modem pool,
I 'd like to note that we are addressing the
issue on two fronts. We've been concerned
for some time that the demand for dialup
access would grow faster than funding for
additional dialup lines.
Last fall's statistics showed that more
than 85% of the student body dialed in for
less than 4 5 minutes per day. Using this
figure as the "baseline" amount of access
needed by most students, we started enforcing a time limit on 2/17/97. It should be
easier to get connected now. Sorry we
didn't have that limit in force before the
start of the semester. Truth is that we were
caught off guard! Usually the beginning of
a semester is not a high demand time,
dialup wise. See "http://www.csusm.edu/
computing/dialup" for more detail on limits.
We've started a second modem pool
which is partially supported by student contributions. Students who want more hours
of access can choose to participate in a paid
modem pool (cleverly dubbed the FEEline). I t costs $40 to join this modem pool
for six months or $70 for an entire year.
More info on this can be found at "http://
www.csusm.edu/computing/fee-line".
In regards to username discontent, assigning "abcdeOOl" as a username wasn't
our first choice for a solution. A couple of
years ago we had this very cool program
that allowed students to select their own
usernames. (and we had lots of fun creating the list of usernames which would be
disallowed.). The concept didn't work so
well in practice - many people were unfamiliar with the idea of a username and password. Others thought up interesting, but unfortunate usernames and then urgently

decided that it wasn't worth the trouble. The
current scheme is the best method we could
think of that allowed us to a utomate
username assignment. Your username becomes part of your student record and that
allows us to give faculty electronic mailing lists for each class along with other
similar benefits.
It is difficult to keep informed on topics like this. It is also difficult for us to get
information to students. Handouts tend to
disappear. Using electronic publications to
explain how to access electronic mail? You
can see the problems. Nonetheless, there
are several handouts in ACD 202 that address general computer resource issues.
Many student handouts can be found at
"http://www.csusm.edu/computing/students/handouts.".
People should also monitor the campus newsgroups for current information.
Most of the issues I've addressed were discussed in the csusm.computing newsgroup.
We'll try to do a better j ob of making certain that students receive information at the
beginning of each semester by making hard
copies available in ACD 202 and by sending out e-mail giving URLs for electronic
documents.
Naturally, we think we are responsive
to student needs. If you feel differently,
please let us know what we can do to make
computer facilities more accessible and

Dismayed with
student reaction to
racist incidents
Dear Editor,
While the racial incidents that occurred
last semester and during the first week of
the current semester were certainly deplorable, I find myself equally dismayed by the
reaction of students (as reported in the February 13, 1997 issue of ' The Pride") to
these incidents.
Whereas it is not surprising that many
white students believe these incidents to be
"rare" or perhaps "blown out of proportion," what is truly unsettling is the attitude that CSUSM somehow places "more
importance on diversity than education."
Silly me, I thought that learning about
the history, accomplishments, and traditions of people from various cultural backgrounds serves not only an educational
purpose, but also encourages understanding between people. As such, "global
awareness" is an indispensable part of a
good liberal arts education. Isn't education
the reason we're all here?

I would like to comment on the article
by Val Knox about volunteering. I agree
with her that it is a wonderful experience

If someone is wondering, "I d on't

Humane Society if you are an animal lover.
I have been volunteering at the San Diego
Humane Society now for six years. There
are many areas where the shelters needs
volunteers.
There is the cattery if you like cats,
and taking dogs for walks (the same care
for the cats but not the walks!). Also volunteers can talk to prospective adoptees.
There is pet assisted therapy which takes
small animals (guinea pigs, chinchilla, rabbits, puppies, kittens) to needy people so
they can pet them. For instance, rehabilitation hospitals, convalescent homes, juvenile detention center for girls, etc. It is very
rewarding to be a volunteer on these visits
and see people's reactions to the animals.
Some people do not want to work directly with the animals (they think it is sad
that animals get put down but the S.D.H.S.
has a 99% adoption rate). There are several areas to work sans animals: there is a
gift shop at the center and they need cashiers; there are the fund raisers like the 'Fur

express concerns
D ear Pride staff,
I 'm writing this letter to you with regrets and some fears. I 'm a student at Cal
State and the director of a small group that
feels we are discriminated against due to
our racial and cultural background.
The group I speak of is the Aryan Student Union. I say "regrets and fear" because
we are, of course, aware of the "hate" incidents and racial tension that are causing
problems on our campus.
Our group, comprised of a fluctuating
10-15, have sought official recognition
from the administration, only to be turned
down. Speakers we have asked to come to
campus have been turned away.
All the while, non-Aryan persons have
been allowed, and even greatly encouraged
to show pride and solidarity on issues affecting their race and culture. This, we believe, is right. It is right for groups to express their identities left to denigration.
This is why some of our members may
have expressed their identities in unacceptable ways. In the same way black people
were forced to violate the law in order t o
win their freedom, a few of the more radical members of our union may have used
illegal symbolism to redress our grievances.
We don't condone the actions of those
who may be connected to us.
At the same time we see where the
frustrations may come from especially in
our younger high school associates.
It's the same frustration that comes
from when a racial, ethnic or religious
group is denied their expression, like whites
are at CSUSM. When blacks were oppressed they did sit-ins and riots which are
illegal. When Jews were being oppressed
in Nazi Germany, they illegally resisted.
Now that Aryans are excluded from all
forms of expression on our campus, and
even smeared openly, it is no wonder that
some of them are doing anti-social activi-

'Empire' is best of the trilogy
Wammo
By Gabe Lundeen
Entertainment Editor
The "Star Wars Trilogy: The Special
Edition continues, with a newly remastered
version of the saga's second and best film,
"The Empire Strikes Back."
"Empire" is the darkest of the three
"Star Wars" movies, as it is intensely dramatic. Where "Star Wars" was more of a
fairy tale in the tradition of happy endings
and heroes in white, ""Empire" is more of
a morality play, in which the main characters not only have to confront the antagonist, hut also themselves.
The movie is very dramatic and melancholy. The movie is shot almost entirely
in blues and blacks to suggest a more somber mood. Even the scenes shot in light
colors, such as the battle scene on the ice
planet of Hoth, are done to the extreme to
suggest something in amiss.
Gone is the campiness and "cheese"
of "Star Wars," and the main characters
have been infused with far more style and
personality than their previous incarnations. Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Leia
have been injected with more character, and
rise above their caricatured images.
One of the movie's highlights is Yoda,
a gnomish Jedi master who spouts out wise
proverbs and Zen-like quotations while
training Luke in the ways of the Force.
Yoda is the puppet creation of Muppeteer
Frank Oz, who also provides his voice.
Yoda is not only interesting, but also provides a bit of comic relief in the midst of
all the seriousness.
The dominant image in "Empire" is
that of Darth Vader, the evil Dark Jedi who
truly comes into his own as a character.
Throughout the movie he is portrayed as
truly evil and magnetic as a villain, and he
too becomes his own character, with the
revelation that he is Luke's father. In "Star
Wars," Vader was more of a novelty than
anything else, so it is refreshing to see him
as a powerful image.
"Empire" is a wonderful bridge between the fledgling start and gigantic finale of the trilogy. It relies less on action
and more on characterization. Instead of
Han and Leia fighting stormtroopers, Han
and Leia begin an awkward romance and
fall in love, with one of the classic lines in
recent movie history. As Han is being put
into carbonite, Leia says "I love you," to
which he replies "I know", in his familiar

Edition."
confident voice.
Added to "The Special Edition" is
about four minutes of footage, and it is a
nice addition to the film. We actually get
to see the Wampa, the ice creature that attacks Luke, in his entirety, smacking his
lips and slurping down some poor dead
creature's bones. And on Cloud City, much
more of the scenery is shown, so one gets
a better feel of the fact that it is actually a
city. The computer generated graphics of
Cloud City are absolutely stunning.
Directed by Irvin Kershner, "The Empire Strikes Back" gives the "Star Wars"
trilogy a base in drama, and gives the already established characters and conflict
the epic status it holds today. The majesty
of special effects-created technology like
the four-legged AT-AT walkers, which were
created by some of the greatest stop-motion animation ever done, exceeds that of
the first movie.
Also worthy of mention are the acting
performances, which are also the best of
the trilogy.
Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher have
a perfect chemistry together, and they steal
every scene they have together. Mark
Hammil proves to the world that he can act,
giving a fine portrayal of the maturing Luke
Skywalker. And James Earl Jones, as the
voice of Darth Vader, is utterly amazing,
and must be heard to be believed.
"Empire" has been criticized for being too glum and not having a neat and tidy
ending, but remember that the movie is
only a bridge between "Star Wars" and
"Return of the Jedi." It serves as a transition, a middle ground between the other
action-laden movies. It was truly ahead of
it's time, and the "Star Wars" trilogy would
not be complete without it.

Butthead" show?
No, they are lyrics f rom the "Fat
Headed Strange" album, a new and peculiar approach to alternative music. A narrative monologue posing as music has
emerged.
The band calls themselves Wammo,
and they sing, if you can call it singing,
verses like, "It's easy to rationalize when
y ou're d rowning in b oredom a nd
brewski... not even Batman can save you
now."
Such cynical verses could emanate
from just about any alternative vocalist
today—pitiful lamentations from bitter
y outh t rying t o e xpress t hemselves
through music. Yet usually the tune and
beat override the depressing self-hate lyrics and provide a positive rhythmic vibe
that listeners are drawn to. As a result,
listeners can comfortably identify with the
singer's emotive manifestation.
But in Wammo's case, everything but
melody exists to offset the irate saga of
this b and's lead singer. "Fat Headed
Stranger" sounds almost like an autobiography on tape. The vocalist, a small
town Texan plagued with pessimism,
spews out abstract accounts of his seemingly miserable life in an attempted form
of musical score.
Only one song on the album even remotely resembles the kind of melody that
one can sing along to. Even this song
called "Salty" suffers in its ability to seize
an alternative music lover's ear.
The instrumental collage of sound accompanying this monologue consists of
a sparse combination of electric guitar, occasional twangy acoustic guitar solos, harmonica, saxophone, and of course a drum
beat consistent with the spoken lyrics. The
music takes on a country Western—bar
room brawl connotation with added background sound effects of desert winds in a
few of the songs.
That, combined with an embellished

stomach. The image is of Hammel himself and seems to s ymbolize his unquenchable anger that can easily be concealed within the bounds of a cape, but
that still thrives inside and needs to be
expressed. Hammel displayslhe exterior
of his favorite superhero, but in reality he
holds a rebellious contempt for the world
and what he calls "Generation X."
So, unless it is hostile pessimism and
society?
These questions could have inspired
the new band Dogma to name its album,
"Feeding the Future."
The album's lyrics not only raise issues that pertain to our changing and often
unjust world, but they also meld well with
the forceful nature of the music.
Spread sporadically throughout "Feeding the Future" are erratic excerpts from
various TV shows or news reports. These
nonsense blurbs represent all the diverse
information that is distributed to the pubic
by the media.
D ogma's underlying message proclaims that the media, with its great power
to influence, is what feeds the future. But
the band also branches off from this concept of an evolving society through lyrics
that discuss present social problems. The
song, "He Knows," for example, starts out
with the lamentation, "Passed a man on the
corner on the way to my new job. Hey man,
can you help me, you know times are hard.
I thought to myself too many people are
on the street; I just kept on walking and
stared at my feet."
Harsh reality closes in when the vocalist sings that he didn't get the new j ob
because there were "too many people" and
the positions were filled."
Dogma also integrates all kinds of
other issues besides homelessness into the
album, all of which combine to stimulate
awareness in listeners.
In addition to, and perhaps subordinate
to, providing thought-provoking points
about our world and societal situations,
"Feeding the Future" is effective in dazzling listeners musically.
Dogma sounds very similar to the band
Soundgarden, with its heavy guitarriffsand
powerful rhythm created via the vigorous
drum beat. The group's lead singer even
sounds a lot like Soundgarden's lead vocalist, at times reaching higher pitches that
merge almost coincidentally with the deep
baritone of his voice, producing an exceptional collaboration of sound that works
well with the music.
If you are drawn towards bands like
Soundgarden, you will most likely find
Dogma's tunes catchy and alluring. Because the group tends to be on the harder
side of alternative music, this album probably wouldn't be a good gift for Grandma.
monotonous soliloquys that you're looking for, Wammo's album is definitely not
one to run out and buy. A poetry reading
would provide the same effect as this album, but would provoke a much more

ally accepting the truth of the lifestyle
approach to stress prevention — which
includes meditation.
So how do you meditate? In a nutshell, meditation consists of the following simple ingredients. First, find some
part of the day where you can regularly
be alone, safe from interruption, especially from the phone and other people.
Many people find that early morning is ideal, and it's even better if you
can find both a morning and an evening
time. Find some regular time that works
for you, about 20 minutes per session being quite adequate, though less is fine at
the beginning.
Second, make yourself comfortable,
but not so comfortable that you are likely
to fall asleep! Most meditators find it difficult to meditate lying down in bed for
this reason. You may sit cross-legged on
the floor, or on a chair. It really doesn't
matter as long as you are comfortable, yet
alert.
Third, pick something to concentrate
on. It can be a candle, a sound (a mantra)
that is soothing or of some simple spiritual significance to you, or, most simply,
your own breathing. You will concentrate
gently on this for the whole period, and
as your mind wanders, as it constantly
will, you will bring it back to the thing
you are trying to stay with.
One author likens this to training a
puppy that you have great affection for:
you put it on the newspaper to "go," and
it wanders o ff. You gently pick it up and
put it back on the paper a thousand times,
until it stays. Breathe easily from the diaphragm, not forcing it. Deeply and fully.
Attend to the rising and falling of your
abdomen, or to the air going in and out of
your nostrils.
Fourth, and perhaps most important,
you will do this with a special state of

Night classes still
require flexibility
B Y EVELYN CHOROSER
T Tf you're planning to get your degree by attending night school at CSUSM, your
I options are somewhat limited at the moment."Students need to be quite flexible to
-Mdcomplete a course of study at night," said Therese Baker, CSUSM's Evening Degree
Program faculty coordinator. "There aren't that many class choices available, so night
students need to select required classes when they are offered.'?
Evening degrees are offered in history, literature and writing, social sciences, women's
studies, education and business administration. In addition, the College of Business
Administration offers an evening degree program with options in accounting, high technology management and service sector management. One-third of its courses start at 5
p.m. or later.
But it's not an easy route, Baker warns, adding that many students have asked about
making more courses available at night and on weekends. " They'd also like to have sets
of courses that could meet all their major requirements, but it's not always possible," she
adds.
It is possible to complete certain majors at night within four semesters . .. but only if a
student has fulfilled all lower-division requirements, including the foreign language, and
can take four or five courses each semester. But most evening students have full-time
jobs and family responsibilities, which limits the number of classes they are able to
handle each semester.
Normally, achieving a degree via night classes takes seven or eight terms, Baker says.
But those taking three courses each term should be able to complete the upper-division
degree requirements within five or six semesters, she adds.
Students attending night classes have to be flexible.
"I pick the class I want without concern for the time it's offered," said Debbie Holderby
who is taking two classes at night this semester and one in the late afternoon. She is able
to adjust her work schedule to meet the class requirements.
*
Don Hall, who works full-time and is trying to get accepted into a graduate studies
program in literature and writing, said it's not easy to find the few classes he needs at
night.
Kathryn Moors' work schedule allows her to attend one early morning class as well as
evening classes. "I prefer night classes as they are more relaxed and the atmosphere is
more mature," she said. "But, I don't like having to make two trips to school."
Added Laura Hopkins, another full-time worker during the day: "As a transferring
junior this fall, it was difficult to find two available classes that were required for my major.
Many of the classes needed were closed before my orientation and eligibility to register."
Said Baker: "We are hoping to begin to deliver a more focused, concentrated program
by next fall. It will guarantee to students that if they follow a pattern of courses in the
evenings and on Saturdays, they could graduate within four to five semesters."

study opens up a whole bunch of ideas for discussion by the kids."
Santa Fe attorney Robert Castille, a former
high school t eacher w ho is r epresenting the
school board, called the Cordovas' material "insulting," and added that the decision to fire them
stemmed from the sisters' unwillingness to compromise.
"The Cordovas have mishandled teaching this
sensitive subject matter," he added.
After the teachers were officially voted out on
July 7 by a board vote of 3-2, the sisters decided
to go to court. A suit challenging the dismissal
of Nadine already has been filed, and another
on behalf of Patsy will be filed soon.
One of their lawyers, Daniel Yohalem, said,
"They have a very solid case for denial of dueprocess rights."
Both sisters remain determined. "We were
doing a fantastic job. That's the saddest part,"
said Nadine. Added Patsy: " I've done npthing wrong. I followed the kids' direction. My
regret is that I didn't do enough of it."
Anti-abortionists target
schools
B Y D EBBIE HOLDERBY
Anti-abortion p rotestors calling themselves
"representatives of Jesus Christ" are targeting
area campuses.
CSUSM's turn came on Sept 30 when the
group parked a
white van on campus displaying
a h uge p hoto
of an aborted
fetus. But the
demonstration appeared
to offend both
p ro-life a nd

students and

equally.
CSUSM's

received numerous
c omplaints
a bout t he
photo, with
m any s tudents u rging college
officials to ask the protestors to leave. Some
expressed concern about the effect the photo
may have had on children.
One of the protestors, a woman carrying a
large graphic poster, came to the Commons
area at noontime and handed out literature
while students were eating lunch. Since she did
not have university approval to be on campus,
Public Safety officers walked her to the Student Affairs o ffice to fill out forms so she could
remian on campus.
When she refused to fill them out and refused to leave the campus, officers escorted her
off school grounds. All the while, said Lt. Alicia Smith, the woman was "screaming and yell-
ing" at the top of her lungs, prompting students and staff to leave their classrooms and
offices to find out what was going t>n.
While the woman screamed, a second protestor filmed the event on a hand-held video
camera.
The protestors then stood outside the university on state property near Craven Way
f or an hour, shouting at pass^ ^ g t f f l K ersby and waving the poster.

to free speech, Public Safety officials said
the woman who yelled and
screamed may have been in
violation of a state law providing, in part, that no one
may interfere with the peaceful conduct of activities in a school.
The protestors have also demonstrated at
other North County college and high school
campuses. Police at nearby Palomar College
said they have appeared near that campus several times recently. "They park their van on
Mission Avenue near the campus," said one officer. "They also have shown up at San Diego
State University."
Police said Palomar students have complained to college officials about the protestors.
Public Safety officials said the Sept. 30 demonstration was the only one at CSUSM.

�Halloween's auspicious beginnings
T T "TTalloween is not "officially" a
I
I holiday. No day off is given, and
J L J Lno federal decree is proclaimed.
Yet, Halloween has become one of the
most important and widely celebrated
festivals not only on the contemporary
American calendar, but in the world.
Halloween, or 'The day of the Dead,'
as it is more aptly referred to in many
cultures incorporates recognition of death
as a concept with rituals that remember
the deaths of individuals. The origins of
this celebration derive from the ancient
Celtic (Irish, Scottish, and Welsh) festival called Samhain.
Samhain was the New Year's Day of
• the Celts, celebrated on 1 November. It
was also a day of the dead, a time when
it was believed that the souls of those who
had died during the year were allowed
access to the land of the dead. It was
related to the season: by Samhain, the
crops should be harvested and animals brought in from the distant fields.
Many traditional beliefs and customs around the world are associated with
Samhain, most notable that night was the time of the wandering dead, the practice
of leaving offerings of food and drink to masked and costumed revelers, and the
lighting of bonfires, continued to be practiced on 31 of October, known as the Eve
of All Saints, the Eve of all Hallows, or even Hallow Even. It is the glossing of the

name Hallow Even that has given us the name
Hallowe'en.
Over the course of time, the spirits of
Samhain, once thought to be wild and powerful, were deemed by the Catholic church to
be something much worse: evil. The church
maintained that the gods and goddesses and
other spiritual beings of traditional religions
were diabolical deceptions, that the spiritual forces that people had experienced were
real, but they were manifestations of the
Devil, the Prince of Liars, who misled people
toward the worship of false idols. Thus, the
customs associated with Halloween came to
include representations of ghosts and human
skeletons, symbols of the dead, the devil,
witches, and other malevolent and evil creatures.
The custom of trick-or-treating, however,
is thought to have originated not with the Irish
Celts, but with a ninth-century European
custom called "souling". On November 2,
All Souls Day, early Christians would walk from village to village begging for
"soul cakes," made from square bread with currents. The more soul cakes the
beggars would receive, the more prayers they would promise to say on behalf of
the dead relatives of the donors.
At the time, it was believed that the dead remained in limbo for a time after death,
and that prayer, even by strangers, could expedite a soul's passage to heaven.

I
l b e sponsoring/hosting a celebration
^ . ^ o f Dia de los Muertos, the Day of
the Dead. Day of the Dead? Sounds gruesome! What the heck is it and why would
CAPS do this?
Dia de los Muertos is one of the most
important and festive holidays throughout
Mexico. It is a tradition built f rom pre-
Columbian as w ell as C hristian
sources.Long ago, it was thought that this
was the time when the souls of the dead
came to earth to visit, and they were welcomed with great joy and celebration. Besides community events such as parades and
d ancing, f amilies c onstuct a ltars upon
which are placed pictures, mementos, and
favorite foods of the loved ones who have
passed on. This is how the memories of our
loved ones are made joyous, how fondly they
are remembered. The altars are decorated
with incense, flowers, candles and many
other objects, including skeletons and candy
or papier mache skulls. In our hearts we
also thank them for what they gave us during their lifetime. Dia de los Muertos is a
wonderful occasion. It is a way that the
Mexican culture(s) confront death, which,
according to Octavio Paz, "...revenges us
against life, stripping it of all its vanities
and pretensions and showing it for what it
is: some bare bones and a d readful grimace."
In the words of C APS' Director, Dr.
Carlene Smith, "CAPS' mission involves
addressing the psychological needs of students by promoting wellness of mind, body
and spirit. The various peoples of the world
have all developed strategies f or achieving
psychological health that are prescribed in
cultural ritual. In presenting the Dia de los
Muertos event, CAPS affirms the wisdom
with which other cultures deal with the inevitable challenges of l ife and promote
health."

We invite you to join us in this celebration. From 10 until 2 on the Founders Plaza
on the 3rd, there will be altars set up by
various campus and community groups. On
these altars, you will find pictures and me
mentos of loved ones who have passed away,
along with their favorite foods, music, flowers, candles, and incense. These altars are
festive tributes to those we have: See how
well we remember you! How we recall all
that you gave us in your life! How lucky we
have been ! At noon, there will be a brief
presentation by Linda Amador, a member
of our staff, about the significance of the
altars. At 12:30, Professor Bonnie Bade of
the Liberal Studies Program will give a presentation on the Mexican tradition surrounding this holiday.
Join us! If you have a loved one that you'd
like to remember and honor, bring a photo
of him or her, perhaps a candle or some
food that was a favorite of his or hers to
place on an altar. If you wish, you may say
a few words about him or her, or just listen
to others.
For additional information, talk to Linda
Amador, by dropping by the CAPS office.

There is a noticable change in B ob Dylan.
D iscounting his b rush with d eath a f ew
months ago and his recent p erformance f or
the Pope* this is not the s ame man w ho
made " Blowin' in the W ind" something of
a folk anthem.
Bob Dylan is aging f ast, and on his new
album, "Time Out of M ind," he shows that
he is aging gracefully and accepts that he
is no longer the i nfluence he once was.
If you a ren't f amiliar with D ylan's w ork,'
you are missing out on some of the most
influential rock music and poetry of the 20th
century. Albums like "Highway 61 Revisited" and " Blonde on B londe," are timeless masterpieces of the 1960s, and necessary listening f or anyone who considers him
or herself a music fan of any genre.
But, as even the staunchest Dylan f ans
admit, he has put out some pretty lousy al-
PAGE 1 0
T H E P RIDE
Still Bio win' in the Wind
b ums f rom a bout 1980 o n, with only a
couple of exceptions.
Which brings us to "Time Out of Mind,"
which is D ylan's best album since 1989's
spotty "Oh Mercy," and his first of original
songs since 1991 ' s dismal "Under a Red
Sky."
Recorded before his recent illness, "Time
Out of M ind" shows that Dylan still has
the talent that made him a legend. His f ocus has shifted, f rom spokesman of an entire generation to a f ringe celebrity unrecognized by a majority of today's youth. H is
v oice s ounds w eathered and s trained at
times, but determined and compelling at the
same time.
The a lbum's first track, "Love Sick,' is
an atmospheric and bitter tone-setter. " I'm
sick of love, and I 'm,in the thick of it,"
s ings D ylan on t he s ong's c horus. As a
whole, the album has a very bluesy feel to
it.
The 16-minute "highlands" is an examination of D ylan's life f rom his point of view
today, and shows that he is not necessarily
c omfortable with his f ading visibility and
a ge, but h as c ome t o understand that he
cannot relive his glory days.
Dylan is not the type to bluster about in
his mid-50s like the Rolling Stones do today. D ylan's strength has always come in
h is honesty, and that is something it seems
he will always retain.
Dylan was such an overachiever early in
his career that everything else he does can
only pale in comparison, and he will never
be able to relive his glory days. All he can
d o is keep on going, and that seems to be a
looming theme in the album*
Musically, producer Daniel Lanois (best
known as the producer f or U2) helps create
a strong yet unobtrusive sonic atmosphere,
and allows D ylan's voice to carry the album, which works wonderfully.
"Time Out of M ind" is an essential f or
the Dylan aficionado, as both another chapter in hi&musical library and as the triumphant return of a legend. It is also his most
accessible album in y ears, f or the Dylan
curious.
But if y ou've never been exposed to early
Dylan, raid the local music store's used L P
section f or a couple of gems. You w on't be
disappointed.

The pictures seem out of place in an upscale c offee shop.
Perhaps you have noticed them as you sat
waiting in your local Starbucks f or a c afe
latte or f rappucino. T he h uge, poster-size
photos hanging on the walls show workers, likely f rom Central America, picking
c offee berries f rom trees or sorting c offee
beans on long tables.
The images were intended to lend atmosphere to the store, but maybe you wondered
whether there were stories behind the workers.
Sandra Benitez brings their world t o our
eyes in her new novel, "Bitter G rounds"
(Hyperion Press. 4 44 pp.). Profiled in the
last issue of the Pride, Benitez shared the
insights and motivations, which led her to
write of her recollections growing u p in El
Salvador prior to that c ountry's civil war
in the ' 80s.
The fictional story t hat u nfolds i n "Bitter
G rounds" c ombines her e xperience as a
member of the Sal vadoran upper class with
A review of Bitter Grounds
the stories of her f amily's campesino (peasant) servants. "Bitter Grounds" is a episodic
story told through the lives of three successive generations of women from two families, the P rietos ( Mercedes, J acinta, and
Maria-Mercedes) and the Contreras (Elena,
Magda, and Flor). The Prietos work as domestic s ervants f or t he u pper c lass
C ontreras.
Benitez draws parallels and divisions between the d isparate cultural classes. The
Prietos are Pipil Indians who, at the onset
of the story in 1932, still speak Nahautl,
the ancient language of the Aztecs. As with
many Indian groups throughout the Americas, they live in poverty, exist on subsistence crops like corn and beans, and s uffer
cultural discrimination and injustice. Their
main source of income comes f rom laboring on vast c offee plantations f or rich landowners who often underpay them.
The Contreras own one of the most prosperous plantations in El Salvador. Benitez
portrays them as savvy business people who
stay ahead of the market through accurate
forecasting, innovation and diversity. But
she also portrays thefn as compassionate
people, particularly the women, who are not
totally oblivious to the plight of their servants.
Limited friendships within the c onfines
of class division form between the corresponding g enerations of P rieto a nd
Contreras women.
Both families endure trials and tribulations t hroughout the n ovel, which is set
f rom 1932 through 1977. T he women of
the two families deal with emotional heartache over such issues as spousal relations
and family strife, although admittedly oil
different levels.
They must also deal with the growing
d omestic violence, which t hreatens their
security and hurtles their tiny nation toward
an uncertain future.
Historically accurate, Benitez uses the
events occurring in El Salvador to provide
the basic timeframe f or her story. All of the
described events, f rom la
m atanza (the m assacre) at the beginning
of the book to the government seizure of
plantations near the end, really happened.
It lends authenticity to the stories presented
in "Bitter Grounds."
Reminiscent of the Amy T an's " The Joy
Luck C lub," the main thrust of B enitez's
novel c oncerns the mother/daughter relationships w ithin t he P rietos a nd t he
Contreras. Although their lives o ften overlap, Benitez m anages t o prevent confusion
distinguishing the generations by presenting their respective lives in serial fashion,
r ather than t he o ut-of-sequence m anner
employed by Tan.
B enitez cleverly uses a fictional radio
telenovela (Spanish soap opera) to parallel
and forecast the lives of her main characters throughout the book.
"Bitter G rounds" uses irony and fate to
link the lives of the Prietos and Contreras

�Bitter Grounds
continued from page 10
tighter and tighter as the novel progresses.
Despite their cultural and class differences,
the families' futures intertwine until the f inal climatic convergence* which binds them
to a common violent fate.
Benitez masterfully writes this scene in a
manner which stuns the reader, a la A lfred
Hitchcock.
Although "Bitter G rounds" dabbles in
magic realism, the h allmark of H ispanic
literature, it does not d o so nearly on the
level of Rudolfo Anaya's "Bless Me Ultima"
or Isabel Allende's "House of Spirits," or
any number of novels written by Gabriel
Garcia Marquez, Benitez's professed favorite author and literary influence.
B ut, t his d oes not d iminish " Bitter
Grounds." Rather, Benitez fashions both the
characters and plot to a level that compels
r eaders t o i mmerse t hemselves into the
story.
Fish House Vera
Cruz offers fine
dining
If you're looking f or elegant dining in a casual atmosphere with, uh, life like surroundings, The Fish House Vera Cruz i s the perfect choice.
Located in San M arcos' Restaurant Row,
The Fish House takes its name seriously.
It's a dimly lit, grotto-style restaurant with
huge aquariums forming most of its inner
walls and partitions. But the inhabitants are
a far cry from goldfish and seaweed. Sand
sharks, lion and clown fish, an octopus and
even a huge, zebra-striped eel make up the
more interesting sights p atrons can gaze
upon while dining.
Despite all this grandeur, the atmosphere
is relaxed and comfortable. Jeans and a T shirts are just as acceptable as suits and ties.
The food corresponds well with its surroundings. The menu consists completely
of fish. There are no chicken or beef copouts.
There is also a w onderful selection of
wines to complement all dishes. T he restaurant is currently featuring a Chardonnay
called La Crema f or a v e r y good price. It
has a light, fruity, almost buttery flavor that
goes very well with fish. It is honestly the
best wine I have ever tasted.
There's a small list of five or six appetizers to choose from. T he Oysters Rockefeller,
in particular, is outstanding, rich enough
to please any connossieun
Entrees consist mainly of f resh fish, but
there are shellfish options as well as seafood salads offered. But the primary focus
is on fish.
For side dishes, you can pick up to three,
r ange f rom rice pilaf and steamed vegetables t o a green salad and soup.
The swordfish is a good bet, as is the red
snapper. Both are grilled to perfection and
basted with a light garlic-butter sauce. The
portions are good-sized and you won't leave
still hungry. But, j ust in case you still have
room, Fish House has a modest selection of
classic desserts. Nothing too exciting, just
your basic cheesecake, chocolate ganache
and berry pies.
However, all of this excellence doesn't
come cheaply. The Fish House Vera Cruz
is not a place the average student can afford m ore than once every few months.
Appetizers range from $5.95 to $8.95. Entrees start at $8.95 and can go as high as
$22.95. For desserts, expect to pay $3.95
to $5.95. The La Crema Chardonnay wine
was priced at $21 a bottle.
Altogether, it is a meal that can lighten
your wallet considerably. But it is well worth
it. T he food and atmosphere combines to
create an unforgettable dining experience.
You definitely get your money's worth.
R eservations are not needed (or even
taken f or parties of less than eight). The
next time you want to take a few steps up

B Y A MY H UDSON
There's a new restaurant in t own. T he
China Wokery has recently opened its doors
f or business. It is located at Old California
Restaurant Row off of
S an M arcos B lvd.
T he s erving s ize of
each m aindish platter
can feed at least three
people and the prices ,
are very reasonable.
The assorted appetizer platter is an excellent way to start off
dinner. This platter feeds two individuals
and provides a sample of egg rolls, dumplings, spare ribs, lemon chicken and fried
wontons. The price is $8.95.
China Wokery has specialty platters such
as Sesame Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Pork
Hunan Style and T reasures of t he S ea.
These platters run f rom $8.95-13.50. In
addition to their specialties, China Wokery
also has a large assortment of soups, salads
and side orders. The price for these dishes
range from $4.95-8.95.
For those of
you who are vegetarian, d on't count this
p lace out yet. Not
o nly d o t hey h ave

dedicate a portion of

p latters.
T hese
i nclude
S aut£ed B roccoli
w ith G arlic S auce,
Tofu and Mixed Vegetables, and Vegetarian Moo-Shu. Prices
are $7.50 per plate. The ambiance is characteristic of a Chinese restaurant. There
are many artifacts f rom the Chinese culture which decorate the walls.
The restaurant has vaulted ceilings and wooden
beams that allow f or a more open experience. I t's a semi-casual setting and a great
place to impress a date. The wait staff is
very attentive and courteous, I highly recommend the China Wokery for either lunch
or dinner. Lunch prices run from $5.958.50.

If you d on't fill up on the complimentary chips and salsa, which is made freshly
each day, you might want to try the shrimp
ceviche tostada as an appetizer. Served on
an o pen-face t ostada with bay s hrimp,

it makes for a delicious, spicy beginning.
A long w ith t he t ypical e ntrees o f

suprisingly filling with lots of chicken,

Best of all are the prices, entrees are

2011 CSUSM Hearst/CSU Trustees' Award recipient
Lauren Holland overcomes tragedies to receive the CSU's highest honor
CSUSM grad student Lauren
Holland decided to channel her
grief into action.
Next June, the 47-year-old single mother from Ramona will
graduate with a master's degree
in Sociological Practice with an
emphasis in pedestrian safety research . Her master thesis will
focus on the statistics behind child
pedestrian fatalities and how fam-
ilies grieve, cope and make sense
of a senseless tragedy.
Last week / Holland was honored for her dedication and 3.88
GPA with the Hearst/CSU Trustees' Award, one of the highest
forms of recognition for student
achievement in the CSU system.
The Hearst award is given to just
one student at each CSU campus
annually, recognizing merit, academic achievement and community service in the face of financial and personal hardships.
"It's an honor to be selected
with a handful of my peers to be a
Hearst Scholar," Holland said, in
a press release. "The award validates my hard work and encourages me by knowing that people
are behind me and supporting me
in achieving my goals."
Holland was in the final months
of her senior year at San Diego
State when she got the news
about her nephew's son, Zaeh
Cruz, who was struck by a truck
and killed in a suburban crosswalk after getting off a school bus
in Berkeley on Feb. 2 7,2009.
Holland finished her Bachelor
of Arts in Anthropology with cum
laude honors, and threw herself
into advocating for pedestrian
safety through the Zachary Michael Cruz Foundation, established by Zach's parents, Frank
and Jodie Cruz. She hopes that
she can use her master's degree
to lobby for pedestrian safety issues at the regional and national
levels.
"I want to be an even stronger
voice advocating for pedestrian
safety education, enforcement
and engineering," she said, explaining that each year more than
1,000 pedestrians lose their lives
in preventable accidents. "I know
I can make a difference and the
Hearst Award further reminds me
to continue to push forward and
give my very best."
Holland's own life has been
touched by tragedy as well. She
worked a series of low-wage jobs
while raising two children on her
own. Then several years ago, she
was working on a construction
project near SDSU when an accident at the jobsite left her with
a disabling back injury.
Although it had been more than
two decades since she'd been in
a classroom, Holland knew she'd
need to get an education to land a
well-paying desk job, so she went
back to school at San Diego State.
She graduated in 2010.
She's also volunteered her time
with the March of Dimes, Head
Start, Zonta International, the
U.N. Association of San Diego
and a local sobering facility,
among other organizations.
Holland is one of 23 CSU students to receive the Hearst Award
this fall. She received a $3,000
scholarship and a Sony technology package (including a notebook
computer and camera).

�Red Bull Athlete Terry Adams takes a spin on campus
Jessie Gambrell
Pride Staff Writer
At U-Hour on
Thursday, Sept.
23, CSUSM students watched
Red Bull Athlete,
Terry
Adams, do a
BMX demo
on campus
at our very
own Library
Plaza.
Adams, age 28, has
been a professional in
Flatland BMX since he
was 16 years old and has
competed in tournaments
all over the world, winj ning a Gold Medal in the
¡ 2005 X Games and also
scoring Ride BMX Magazine's Number One
Ride Award
in 2005 and 2008.
"I wanted to be a professional,"
Adams said.
When asked about what got him
into Flatland, Adams continued,
"When I looked it up, it looked
more artsy. It was different."
Flatland is a freestyle BMX riding style performed on smooth,
flat surfaces that do not include
any ramps, jumps or grind rails.
By some, it is called "artistic cycling" and can even be related to
break dancing, according to Mick
Ross of In Air on Ground Freestyle BMX.
Adams grew up in Louisiana
and was homeschooled. He graduated at the age of 15 and then
attended Louisiana State University for one semester before he
decided he wanted to focus on his
BMX career instead.
Red Bull sponsored Adams
since 2003. He has been touring
the United States these past few
weeks doing demos at 50 differ-
ent colleges.
"It is very chill, spreading
awareness about what I do. It is a
cool opportunity from Red BuU,"
Adams said. He continued, "Students here are in a good mood.
They are a little more stoked,"
when asked about how it was performing here at CSUSM. .
The big Red Bull truck, called
the Red Bull MXT, came out and
opened up its speakers, blasting
party music throughout Library
Plaza. Students gathered as Adams showed off some of his cool
moves, including his own trick,
Katrina, that he named after the
2005 hurricane Katrina. Students
were handed "spirit" towels to
twirl around which added to the
festivity of the hour. With the
crowds cheering, Adams continued to entertain the students by
balancing, spinning and hopping
with his bike.
On a break, Red Bull
handed out two free T-
* shirts to the first two people that
showed up to the Red Bull MXT.
"One of the lucky winners was Dylan Baquero who started to "shuffle" in the center of the plaza after
winning his T-shirt.
"I won a t-shirt! And it's cool
spirit," Baquero said when asked
what drove him to dance.
Throughout the demo, Red
Bull's Wiiings Team girls gave
out free Red Bulls to the students.
"This is the coolest back-toschool event we've been to,"
Gina Lucas said, one of the Wiiings team girls.
Students also responded to the
event with enthusiasm. "It was a
great experience. It shows the diversity of the campus," ASI VP of
Marketing, Ken LaLonde, said.

CSUSM Surf Team ttracts any for tryouts
Morgan Hall
Pride Staff Writer
.
CSUSM surf team tiyouts occurred Sunday, Sept. 18. Calm
water and bad waves added pressure to student surfers interested
in joining the fall 2011 - spring
2012 team.
"It is a little nerve racking because the waves aren't too good
today," senior Tyler Noonan said.
"You're lucky just to catch a few
good waves," he added.
Noonan, who surfed for his
high school team and was trying
out for the first time, said that he
looks "forward to being able to
get back into surf competitions
and meet new surfers this season."
This year, the Cal State San
Marcos Surf Team tryouts gave
each surfer three 15-minute heats
to catch as many waves as he or
she could with only the two highest scoring waves counting toward the overall score.
"We're looking for length,
turns and connecting rides and, of
course, the more you do the more
points you will get," team captain, Ashley Aronson said.

the inaugural team back in 2001, tinue to surf and come to tryouts

�Cornwell, women win; men finish third at UC Riverside
Kyle Trembley
Contributor
Competing in their second race
of the season, Cal State San Marcos women's and men's crosscountry both had strong showings
at the UC Riverside Invitational.
The women remarkably swept
the top-five collegiate spots to
win the 5K Open, while the men
placed third in a stacked field in
the 8K Invitational.
Running against a field that
featured NCAA schools like San
Jose State and Cal State Los Angeles, the two-time defending
NAIA National Champion and
#2-ranked CSUSM women's
team dominated the 5K on Saturday, Sept. 17: Suzanne Cornwell won the race outright with
an outstanding time of 17:11 - the
second fastest in CSUSM crosscountry history.
After four unattached (noncollegiate) runners crossed the
finish line, including CSUSM alums Whitney Patton and Jennifer
Albright, the next collegiate finisher to cross the line was Carol
Schryver. A 2010 All-American,
Schryver ran 17:44 to place seventh overall and second in the
collegiate competition.
Two more Cougars were right
behind her as Chelsey Cortez
continued her strong start to the
season by placing eighth at 17:47,
and two-time All-American Cady
Villarreal taking ninth at 17:48.
One spot later, Kelly Thompson finished in eleventh place
at 18:02, giving the Cougars a
sweep of the top-five collegiate
spots.
Leading the remaining competitors for CSUSM were Heidi
Swanson (14th, 18:09), Cassidy
Reich (20th, 18:17), and Aubriele
Rowe (28th, 18:30).
On the men's side, the Cougars
posted a strong third-place finish,
only finishing behind Southern
Utah and host schooi UC Riverside and finishing in front of
NAIA competitors Cal Baptist
and Master's College in the 25team field.
So far this season, Danny Lyon
and 2010 Ail-American Western
Nelson have established themselves as the two top runners for
the Cougars and that held true on
Saturday, Sept. 17. Nelson placed
eighth in the field of nearly 250
runners, coming within 2 seconds
of breaking the school record for
the 8K with a time of 24:16.
Right behind him was Lyon,
who took ninth with a time of
24:19. Nelson and Lyon are both
All-American threats, and having two runners of that class is a
major reason why Coach Steve
Scott's #7-ranked men's crosscountry team is in the hunt for its
first National Championship.
Of course, to win a national title
lililP
it takes depth and CSUSM will
be looking to build that throughout the 2011 season. On Sept. 17,
Ismael Rodriguez placed 43rd at
25:20, Ryan Jensen took 48th at
25:22 and Armando Lara rounded
out the team's top-five by placing
58th at 25:29, all finishing within
10 seconds of one another to help
the team to its third place finish.
Leading the remaining Cougars were Easton Tackett (72nd;
25:36) and Lenny Santana (75th;
25:37).
CSUSM cross-country will be
back in action in two weeks at the
Pomona Pitzer Invitational.

Happy Hour of the Week:
Half-time at Players Sports Bar
Retraction:
"Tips for textbook buying"
In the Sept. 13 issue of The
Pride, the article, "Tips for
textbook buying" incorrectly
listed Interlibrary Loan (ILL)
as a resource for obtaining textbooks. ILL is a service available to students for obtaining
different forms of research for
course related projects.
"Interlibrary Loan staff search
and order requested materials
from a worldwide database.
Material requested through ILL
typically arrive at the Library
within one to two weeks. You
are notified via your CSUSM
email account when the material arrives, books are held for
pickup and articles are delivered to you electronically," Teri
Roudenbush of Library Resource Services said.
Also, materials from ILL are
never delivered to your home
but rather held at the circulation desk on the third floor of
the Kellogg Library.
For more information on ILL,

All of us CSUSM students
could use at least an hour of happiness, and Players Sports Bar delivers all the way, including TVs
over the urinals.
I spent this week's Happy Hour
at Players off Twin Oaks Valley
Rd. across from campus, which is
open from 10 a.m. - 2 a.m. and
has Happy Hour from 2 - 7 p.m.
Monday - Friday. For all you local or new students, this is a great
place to meet fellow students because it is close to campus and
supports a young scene. If you
have any love for Padres or Red
Sox, this place will sympathize
with you.
The Happy Hour deals included
$1 off wine, beer and wells; you
will also get $2 off appetizers
including their delicious, picante
chips and salsa. Enjoy the tasty
potato wedges while watching
a late season baseball game on
one of their 21 large TVs. Another commendable part of Players was the beer list that included
local breweries like Lost Abbey,
Ballast Point and Green Flash
as well as foreign and domes-tic brews. Indulge in craft beers
like Lost Abbey's Red Barn Ale
and Rogue's Hazelnut Brown for
$2.75 each while gawking at the
100 oz. "tubes" of domestic beer
at the next table. The beer happy
hour prices ranged from $2.75 $9 for 16 oz. For those transplant
students from the northeast, Players' beer includes Magic Hat #9V
the famous craft beer of that area.
If you are free on a Wednesday,
head over to "Kick the Keg" to
enjoy that week's domestic beer
keg at $2 - $4 a pint from 2 p.m.
until the keg is empty.
Other enjoyment for family,
18+, and 21+ included the two
pool tables and outdoor seating
withfireplaces and sporty atmosphere. Players is a great place to
meet new friends from CSUSM,
take someone on a date or relax
after a long day of classes.

the meal that is standard fare
when trying a new place, the
nachos with carnitas. Although
the presentation was nice, along
with freshly shredded jack and

about half the size of other taco

worst was hidden underneath—
a liquid cheese substance of the
7-11 nacho variety, and it tasted
as bad as it looked. Perhaps other
menu items provide a more satisfying eating experience and better
value, but alas, I will likely never
find out. The best Mexican food
will be the focus in our next issue.

I can't tell whether this university wants to have a homecoming
celebration or not. Based on the
limited school spirit and developing athletic department, one can't
really expect to enjoy any sort of
traditional homecoming events.
Enter King and Queen elections .
Yes. You get to witness the first
Cal State San Marcos Homecoming King and Queen receive
his and her crowns at the homecoming jsoccer game at noon on
Oct. 1. On Thursday, Sept. 29,
the top three candidates based on
the results of an electronic ballot
(currently live through today at
csusm.edu/homecoming) will be
announced at 12:30 p m. during
CougarFest according to campus
announcements.
Each student is allowed one
vote, so choose your top three
candidates wisely. The student
body nominated eight candidates
for king and 11 for queen; students can read about the candidates' reasons for running in short
statements posted on the ballot.
The ballot interestingly makes a
distinct separation between king
and queen, perhaps because there
are candidates of both genders
running for both positions.
Jennifer Meneray and Arthur
Silverstein are running for king
and queen, respectively. Notice
that I did indeed get my order of
words correct: we have a female
running for king and a male running for queen.
When I first discovered this
nontraditional homecoming ballot, the first thought to enter my
mind was something to the effect
of, "Why haven't I heard of this
yet?"
"I could not care less," senior
Amanda Puckett said. "I'm happy they have free time," Puckett
continued, saying that homecoming is more of a distraction than
anything.
Puckett's statement bears validity with me, especially considering her choice word of "apathetic" when describing her feelings
about homecoming in general.
"[Meneray and Silverstein]
want people to question gender
identity. They want voters to
question why a king is a king and
a queen is a queen," Puckett said.
"Homecoming Kings are often looked at as people who take
charge of things, who are leaders, who challenge injustice and
encourage understanding of different identities," Meneray said
in her campaign statement, leading readers to believe that she is
in the business of redefining who
can fit that role.
"I did not nominate myself for
homecoming court," Meneray
said in an email interview with
me. The person who nominated
Meneray only nominated her to
run, but not for king or queen specifically. "To be honest and true to
my personal identity and to support one of the communities I am
part of, I knew that I had to run
for king."
I wondered why Meneray felt
she could not be as effective of a
leader if crowned as a queen. She
responded, "Queen just doesn't
feelrightto me, and I would hate
to try and take on that label without identifying with it."
The Pride asked Silverstein the
same questions as Meneray, but
he did not offer comment.
"I work with [Silverstein], the
guy running for queen," Brandon
Torres said, junior and Psychology and Sociology major. "Arthur
is more tongue-in-cheek about
it—more on the comical side, like
he's saying, 'Yeah, I'll be queen'
"I think [Meneray's] reasons for
running are more political," Torres continued.
"On campus I am very active
in a variety of organizations that
support social justice," Meneray
said in an interview. She is the
president of the Women's Studies
Student Association and is a certified Sexual Assault/Domestic Violence advocate for the Women's
Resource Center in Oceanside.
Meneray continued to clarify
her reasons for running as Homecoming King: "Does it have to do
with the politics of the labels and
how exclusive the labels are? Yes,
it has a lot to do with the labels
and how they normally distributed."
Although Meneray has not run
for homecoming court at any
other institution, she did attend
high school prom with her samesex partner. Although she said she
has not experienced any negativity from CSUSM thus far about
her choice to run as king, she did
feel some resistance to expressing
her lifestyle in high school. "People said we made a great couple,
but our yearbook editors would
not publish our prom picture in
my yearbook since we were both
women."
Students on campus responded
positively to the news of Silver-
stein's and Meneray's choices to
run as queen and king. "I think
times are changing. People are
more accepting and I'm really
happy about that," sophomore
and Kinesiology major Joanne
Cayabyab said.
"I think it's great," Julio Zuniga, History and Political Science
major, said. "We passed a barrier—broke down a wall."
After talking with several students, I've come to conclude that
while no one really cares about
homecoming on this campus,
people are happy that the university will allow students to express
different lifestyles through the
homecoming celebration. I can't
say that this means our university
is more accepting than other universities; from my years on this
campus, I've come to determine
that CSUSM is a conservative
institution that is quite concerned
with maintaining a certain image.
But, I won't go there today.
It would appear that "not caring" is one of the first steps toward progress. Acceptance seems
to create a positive blindness to
social change—sort of that, "Oh,
I didn't notice" effect.
When I asked Torres why he
thought people didn't seem to
react much to the news of Silverstein and Meneray, he responded
quite appropriately: "Why should
you?"
The Pride makes ho claim to
support or endorse one candidate
over another.

Hot Off the Reel
Kyle M. Johnson
Pride Staff Writer
Investing in "Moneyball"
It's almost prophetic that a film
about one of the poorest franchises in Major League Baseball
will likely be one of the most
underappreciated sports films of
all-time. It's a shame, too.
Billy Beane (Brad Pitt), the
general manager of the Oakland
Athletics, sets out to compile a
successful baseball roster with
the help of Peter Brand (Jonah
Mill) and an incredibly modest
budget. With, the entire MLB
against them, Beane and Brand
set out to prove that it's possible
to create a winning team with
comparatively little money.
Moneyball" is a baseball
movie with an asterisk: it features very little field action of
the game. In fact, it isn't until the
last half hour of the movie until
we're placed on the field with
the players during a game, but
with good reason. With Beane's
distance he keeps between himself and the game, it makes sense
that viewers wouldn't witness
anyfield-actionuntil Beane puts
himself near the field.
Instead of your conventional
baseball film, what "Moneyball"
offers is a behind-the-scenes
look at the mechanics of what
goes into developing a baseball
roster and a successful franchise.
Pitt delivers a realistic portrayal of a man who missed his own
major league victory and wants
to give it to those deserving of
it. Hill is warm as the driven assistant who somehow ended up
working in baseball despite his
educational background. Also,
look out for Kerris Dorsey as
Beane's concerned daughter,
who rather impressively performs a cover of Lenka's "The
Show" as a way to reach out to
her dad.
-Moneyball" offers a true story
about the heart and determination that must go into success
and the compromises needed to
reach life's little victories.
See the movie, write a review. If y ou put your review on The Pride's
Facebook page y ou might s ee it in our next i ssue.
How killin' is "Killer Elite?"
With movie trailers and posters
for "Killer Elite" marketing it as
"based on a true story," one may
think that this be Jason Statham's
return to action films with substance. However, upon viewing
the film, aüdience members may
ask how much of this is true,
with some scenes leaving you
consumed in disbelief and awe.
Danny (Statham) is a retired
special-operations agent who
returns to his old lifestyle in order to save his partner, Hunter
(Robert De Niro), who is being
held captive. Hunter's captor is a
man who has lost three sons in
war and wants justice from his
sons' killers to be carried out by
Danny. He must obtain the soldiers' confessions and make their
deaths look like accidents. While
carrying out his mission, Danny is then confronted by Spike
(Clive Owen), who intends to put
a stop to these killings due to his
attachment and association with
the targets.
The actors are all very entertaining to watch. Statham, playing a layered-version of his usual
self, is determined to prove that
what we do does not define us.
De Niro is fun as the wisecrack
ing mentor, leaving us wishing
for more screen-time. Owen
plays a strong roadblock in
Statham's path.
The action sequences, while
immensely exciting, are sporadic. We are often left with many
(in comparison) slower sequences. These sequences, however,
are necessary to the plot and en
tertaining in execution. One such
scene involves the developing of
a mallet that matches the tiles of
one target's shower, in order to
make his death seem like an accident.
The dialogue is cheesy with
the formulaic, bad (but fun),
popcorn-flick one-liners be
ing spouted regularly. A notable
catch phrase worthy line in
volves a character shouting, "BI-N-G-(expletive)-0!"
If you're looking for a cat-andmouse action/thriller with refreshing and perhaps ridiculously, complex action sequences,
see "Killer Elite."

Do you remember picking up
your dog and singing mcomprehensively at the top of your lungs
while you held your poor pup
in the air? This signature stance
derives from none other than
Disney's 32nd classic film, 'The
Lion King," that made its (iebut
into the world and our hearts in
1994.
The critically acclaimed animated classic was tremendously
successful in the box offices and
was quite popular, winning three
Golden Globes for Best Original
Score for a Motion Picture, Best
Original Song for a Motion Picture and Best Motion Picture in
Comedy/Musical as well as two
SCfoOQi*
Oscars for Best Musical Score
and Original Song.
With the "The Lion King" in
theaters this September, 90s kids
as well as children everywhere
were given the opportunity to
relive their childhood and experience the tragic but musically
genius adventure in a way no
one has ever experienced before:
in 3D. A friend and I went to the
opening weekend and we weren't
able to contain our joy as soon as
"Circle of Life" started playing.
We, along with many 5-year-olds
and their stressed out parents,
watched in awe as Mufasa and
Simba came to life right before
our very eyes.
Though I have seen this movie
countless times, the experience of
watching it restored and three-dimensional was something I never
thought I would be able to witness. Colors and scenes danced
out right in front of me, and the
elimination of the unpopular song
addition titled "Morning Report"
to the DVD version was delightful. Watching Mufasa's infinite
wisdom, Scar's evil antics and
the silliness of Timon and Pumba brought back memories of a
childhood when my biggest concern was me falling asleep before
Rafiki got Simba back to Pride
Rock in time before the hyenas
took over—a time before school,
work and adult responsibilities
consumed my life.
Though the viewing is limited,
the experience of reliving my
childhood was irreplaceable.
