The first week of school brought 313 women and 115 men to the infant university. In addition to the high number of women that attended CSUSM, the college also found a higher mean age than other colleges. With the average age of students at 29, officials speculated that reentry women were most inspired to attend CSUSM. "We're looking at reentry women at this age, rather than the typical college cohort," said Dean of Student Services Ernest Zomalt. Officials were also surprised at the low number of minorities that attended this semester. Among the low numbers of minorities taking classes were 38 Hispanic, 12 African American and eight American Indian students. Overall, officials found more Full Time Equivalent Students in attendance than expected. Zomalt said the college's major feeder was the nearby Palomar College.

The State University Board of Trustees approved the bid in November. Bookstore burglar steals Simpons Newspaper offers gift, alliance Times Advocate Publisher John Armstrong, in mid October, presented a proposal to the University Council outlining the donation of a stateof-the-art newsroom to the college. In return for the gift, the company is requesting paid circulation of the Times A dvocate on t he CSUSM campus and printing rights for the college student publication. The newsroom would assist the campus in the publication of a student newspaper as well as establish a foundation for a future journalism program. In addition to the newsroom, studentjournalists would also have access to professionals working at the Times Advocate. CSUSM President Bill Stacy said the proposal would have to be viewed through student, academic and business perspectives before it can be considered for approval. Members of the Student Newspaper Task Force, after reviewing the proposal, questioned the impact of the deal on a future student newspaper. Concerns were raised by the committee as to whether or not the student publication could retain its integrity if distributed inside the Times Advocate. The task force saw the proposal as a business deal rather than a gift. The deal will go before the University Council again this week for further discussion. TIMES ADVOCATE Task Force drafts mission statement At their Oct. 24 meeting, the Student Governance Task Force completed a draft of a mission statement that would set the foundation for the future Associated Students at CSUSM.

At an end-of-semester gathering held Dec.7, students listened to jazz music and talked among themselves about the past four months. Psychology Junior Jim Fix, found the high number of women at CSUSM to be "distracting." He said the maturity and drive of the older women students on the campus made the curriculum more challenging. "I've been beaten up (mentally) by women in class," said Fix. He said the female population on campus raised the intellectual quality of the university. "It was challenging, but rewarding," he said.

"I've never met so many people in college that I actually know," she said. Ramirez, who came from MiraCosta Community College said she found the curriculum challenging and with a good faculty. History major Joel Ravy, who transferred from Palomar College, said he thought the instructors at CSUSM had high expectations for their first class of students. "The change from Palomar, regarding the difficulty, of classes was significant," said Ravy. Ravy said his classes were full of students seeking an alternative to the crowded facilities of the other state universities. Bill Kumik,aLiberal Studies Junior, found the curriculum to be not as challenging as his An Oct. 22 burglary in the Aztec Shops bookstore caused college officials to shout "Aye Caramba," after most of their stock of Simpsons paraphernalia was stolen. Along with T-shirts, buttons and baseball caps with the likenesses of Bart and the Simpson family, watches, calculators and cassette r ecorders were snatched; The bookstore's Macintosh computer and software worth thousands of dollars, however remained untouched. Bookstore manager Deborah Meeker estimated the cost of items stolen at $1,486.70. The theft occurred between 3 a.m. and 6:50 a.m. when the campus's security, Wells Fargo, was not on patrol. Vista Sheriffs officer A. R. Riley found evidence of forced entry at the store's rear window. There are still no suspects in the crime. Prop. 143 refusal could hurl plans The turndown of Proposition 143 on the Nov. 6 ballot left campus officials scrambling to find funding for the construction of the permanent site of the campus off Twin Oaks Valley Rd. Campus officials are now faced with a $10 million shortfall in revenues that would have available had the proposition passed.

The San Marcos-based Lusardi Construction Company has been awarded an interim contract to replace the troubled Louetto. C.W. Poss, the grading subcontractor hired by Louetto to prepare the Twin Oaks Valley Rd. site for construction halted work for six weeks after Louetto failed to pay them for work completed on the project. College officials contacted Louetto's bonding company, Reliance Surety of Seattle, in an effort to resolve the dispute. Because the conflict remained unresolved by Oct. 31, Reliance informed the university that they could take over the project after Louetto's contract was terminated. CSUSM then fired Louetto, leaving the campus without a builder. On Nov. 9, Reliance announced the selection of Lusardi Construction Co. to resume the work on the campus. Lusardi began work on the project yesterday. College officials are hopeful that the delay will not postpone the fall 1992 opening of the permanent campus. Spanish Book Center opens As part of the university's goal of creating an atmosphere of global awareness, a Center for the Study of Books in Spanish for Children and Adolescents opened at CSUSM on Dec. 6. TheCenter,the only oneof its kind in the world, contains books in Spanish for children and books for youths in English about Hispanics. "The main purpose of the Center is to get children to read," said Isabel Schon, director of the Center and a member of CSUSM's founding faculty. The Center will host experts in the fields for lectures on Spanish books, and will hold Café literarios, informal discussions on the literature in the program. �TUESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1990/PIQNEER NEWS UNIVERSITIES RUN TESTS AIDS study shows HIV infection rate I am often asked if we are seeing many cases of AIDS at Student Health Services. To my knowledge we have seen none from students from Cal State San Marcos, but at the main campus of San Diego State we have seen a small number of AIDS cases. In truth, until this week, we really did not know how many or what percentage of students test positive for HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) infection. A study by the Centers for Disease Control and the American College Health Association revealed an HIV infection rate of 0.2 percent, or one in 500 college students. Nationally, it is estimated that between 25,000 and 35,000 college students are infected with HIV. The study was conducted at 19 colleges throughout the country using 16,863 blood samples drawn randomly from students who were seeking care for other reasons at student health centers. SDSU, USC and Cal Berkeley were part of the study. The results were not identified by university, so no school specific rates are known. Of the 19 colleges, positive results were found at nine schools, with 10 schools having no positive HIV tests. W e feel because of known HIV cases, that SDSU is likely to be one of the nine schools with positive HIV tests. In the study there were 30 positive tests with only two of them being in females. Therefore, the rate for men should be 5 percent and for women two-hundreths of 1 p ercent Rates for Caucasians, African Americans and Mexican Americans were similar but not meaningful, since the numbers of African Americans and Mexican FIRST CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 previous school, Cal Poly Pomona.

These statistics present both good and bad news. The good news is that the rate of HIV infection is about what you might see in the general population and lower than the rates in highrisk groups such as homosexual males, IV drug users or people attending STD clinics. The bad news is that it exists and has the potential for serious spread in the campus community. We also knowriskybehaviors exist on campus due to the prevalence of other STDs and unwanted pregnancies. This information underscores the need to persuade college students to use condoms, limit the number of their sexual partners and otherwise reduce their risk of becoming infected. "Prevention of HIV infection through education and interventions to help develop and maintain safe behaviors that will reduce the risk of HIV transmissions should be a priority mission of all institutions of higher education," state the authors of the study.

S TAFF E DITORIAL MAC computes better for buyer For anyone considering the purchase of a home computer, now is a great time. In a marketfloodedwith choices, the shopper's first choice is still a simple one: whether to go to the Macintosh or the IBM corner. Fortunately, the software-that portion of the purchase that makes the beast do useful things-is now available for both arenas in equal supply. In other words, our first decision is not dictated by a dilemma of a few years ago, when business packages were usually written for the DOS (IBM genre) system, and graphics delivery was the MAC stronghold. Additionally, the synergistic combination of recession, Christmas season, and academic marketing make for more "bang-per-buck" than ever. For my money, there is still a clear winner in the final analysis from the perspective of the home or small business user: the MAC. Interestingly, my answer was opposite this conclusion just a few years ago, when, as I stated, the software supply was divided roughly in half. That era's entrenchment of IBM desktops and software just made the "big-blue" a logical ally for the business person. As is typical of the computer industry, those facts we could swear by yesterday are today's jokes. The MAC is quintessential this year's small user's wisest choice. Irresistible to the writer, consultant, and student is the Macintosh Classic for less than $800.00. This is perfect if the emphasis is on ease of learning and use. Simple, logical icons and menus provide direct and effective paths to final production of letters, reports (with graphics), lists-management (such as customer addresses), and financial analysis. If a lot of work is to be stored and recalled later, the MAC Classic can be purchased with an.internal 40 MegaByte Hard Drive (a vast electronic file cabinet) for only $1,195. This model includes twice the RAM memory, thereby expanding the choice of utilities (applications software) that can be incorporated. For the more sophisticated party, the Macintosh SE/30, with 40 MegaByte hard Drive, is a good investment at $2,295. The architecture (internal engineering and parts) is geared to crunch more numbers faster, and this translates to quicker response to commands, as well as more power automating business tasks, such as statistics and accounting. There are plenty of ports (extra plugs) to allow for expansion;bigger pictures; anchretfwarkmg.'Gveralk this is a safe, longterm solution to the d ata-management question as it arises in the s mall D AVID H AMMOND ofc st fi e e PIONEER OPINION EDITOR ^S- Finally, a somewhat over-simplified historical perspective is in order to fully describe and understand the MAC's current advantage in this price/application range. The DOS-driven personal computers are really relics in the stylistic evolution of the desktop. Designed by computer scientists in the early eighties, the environment reflects the code-intensive, cryptic parametrics of the mainframe/mini-computer models developed and marketed by IBM, DEC, and Hewlett Packard throughout the seventies. Steve Job's Apple computer company sought to build a new data world based on the paradigm that a larger percentage of the user population was ready to use the computer as a tool, automator, and decision system-provided that the interface (relationship) was a friendly one. Put differently, the writer wants to get out a novel, the consultant a report, and the accountant a spreadsheet, but none of them care how the job gets done. Hence, the mouseand-picture Macintosh exploded onto a vacuous market of ready-but-frustrated buyers. Two recent facts illustrate the depth of acceptance of the so-called mouse-and-icon design in desktop computers. Firstly, it is noteworthy that IBM hangs in the game with a new line of mouse-and-icon designs ala MAC. True to form, the conversion via the Windows software has its price: it takes up a lot of disk memory, and thereby increases initial outlay while detracting from usable applications. All we really need to know is that among users and MIS managers alike, Macintosh consistently rates higher in customer satisfaction, business performance, productivity, and connectivity ¿and lower in administrative and training costs (Diagnostic Research, Inc., March 1990 survey). Truly, the MACiwa* cheated ion ike wser^ a ; Obviously, with the exponential growth of CSUSM, crowds of shuffling students are expected. It wouldn't even be very shocking to find the future students of CSUSM confined to uncomfortable chairs. What would be alarming, is if the complacency plaguing other universities infects this new, idealistic campus. The Typhoid Marys infecting many of the colleges throughout the country are the companies that produce ready-made term papers complete with footnotes and bibliographies. These companies, through a catalog of available papers, will send completed reports to students for a fee. As a result students can submit professional papers to their unsuspecting instructors and glean above-average grades for below-average work. The only writing a student needs to do is filling out the envelope requesting the report. Most of these companies do not intend to encourage academic dishonesty, rather they produce these documents as aids to students writing complex research papers. Unfortunately, there are those who take advantage of such offerings and spoil the opportunities for others who would use the reports responsibly. Most students at CSUSM are unaware that such services exist, but other universities are vigilant in their combatting of the problem. Recently, The Daily Aztec was criticized by San Diego State University for printing ads placed by some of these term-paper-manufacturing businesses. Trying to prevent the problem of prefab term papers by attacking a newspaper's advertising policy is not the answer. The Daily Aztec does not advocate these services any more than they advocate the consumption of Budweiser Beer or Domino's Pizza. They are simply getting funds for their business. The solution to the problem lies with the policies of instruction by professors at CSUSM. At a university where writing in every course is a requirement, instructors should monitor the process in which papers are created. Some instructors already review papers during the stages of their construction. Rough drafts and note cards are required far before final drafts are due. In classes where multiple papers are due, a review of the first paper should be required. Such a program would minimize the use of prefab reports by students by familiarizing instructors with the works of their pupils. It should be expected in a school that requires a minimum of 10 written pages per course. In this age of computer modems, the availability of these ready-made papers will be increased. Soon a student will be able to gain access to a research paper over the telephone in minutes rather than days or weeks. It would be nice to think that CSUSM will remain the personal educational institution it is today forever, but such thoughts aren't realistic. With population growth, a depersonalization between a great portion of the student population will most likely fester. Hopefully professors will help their students grow in their writing abilities instead of watching them shrink with complacency. �UESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1990/PIQNEEB ~ 0PlNI0N 7 Creating world peace starts at home PIONEER 250-2 S.

TINY TIM/from 'CHRISTMAS CAROL' Originally I was going to write about either the effects of mustard gas on the human body, or a simulated telephone conversation between Saddam Hussein and George Bush the night of Jan 14,1991. But then I remembered that this would be my last column before Christmas. And who can get into the holiday spirit reading about sloughed lung tissue, burned-out eyeballs and two morally bankrupt heads of state? So instead I'm ruminating over the much-talked-about commodity: World Peace. If almost everyone is in favor of it, why is it in much short supply? We can blame the international arms cartel which would go belly up if peace broke out. Or we can accuse the CIA, presently aiding or actively participating in more than 50 destabilization operations of third world governments. Or we can point the finger at religious/racial/ethic/tribal intolerance so popular around the globe. Or we can even blame world leaders impoverishing their countries by acting on the fatuous belief that wealth can be created with a printing press. But all of the above are merely symptoms of world turmoil. The true cause lies much closer than the sands of the MidEast. To misquote the old comic strip character, Pogo: "We have met the enemy, and it is us." Peace, like charity and every other trait, begins at home. Until we each as individuals achieve peace, there is zero probability that the world is going to. A "Visual World Peace" bumper sticker on your car doesn't carry much weight if you grow apoplectic and homicidal when someone cuts you off on the freeway. If you go home after a peace march and berate your children or spouse, kick your dog and yell obscenities at the TV when an NFL referee makes a bad PIONEER STAFF WRITER call, I doubt if you'll soon risk deafness from the sounds of swords being beaten into plowshares. But true peace doesn't come just from treating others with respect. While we must always take responsibility for our actions, we need to also treat ourselves with equal doses of kindness and a sense of humor. That means consciously listening for the nagging voice within each of us that constantly tells us we're not good enough, smart enough, attractive enough, rich enough and whatever enough, and shutting it off. Then we need to replace that voice with self-praise and kindness for the small victories we achieve each day but never take credit for. I know you can do it. But will you? If you choose not to, world peace must forever remain a pipe dream. But if you take the "leap of faith" in yourself, who knows? Dan Quail may be teaching Hussein sand sculpture by Christmas. K EN CARTER Letters to the Editor Where is Ertirea? For the past three years, I wetit to Palomar College. Almost all the students I talked to asked me where I came from, and when I replied that I came from Eritrea, East Africa, almost all students would ask the questions, "Is that where Apartheid is?" "Where is Eritrea near to?" and s oon. Then I had to take the time to explain to the students that South Africa does not mean East Africa, knowing that when they heard Apartheid they also heard South Africa. At that time it really did not bother me so much, but it starts to bother me now since I transferred to CSU San Marcos because the same thing is happening. I know American media is not actively telling the American people where Eritrea is located, but once in a while the media brings some hungry kids and elderly men and woman from the Eritrea region, Ethiopia. I would like to tell the campus community where Eritrea is located and its background so that I wouldn't get the same responses that I have been getting from the Palomar College community. Eritrea is located in the horn of Africa with its boundaries to the west with Sudan, to the south with Ethiopia, to the east with the Red Sea, occupying about650 miles of miles and apopulation of 3.5 million. Letters Welcome PIONEER welcomes letters from readers regarding campus issues, articles written, or world-related affairs. Letters should be no longer than 250 words and be signed by the author with his/her phone number as a contact. Eritrea's historical background is marked by foreign aggressors and invaders like almost all African countries. After the Turks and Egyptians, the Italians invaded Eritrea in 1889 and succeeded their colonization until 1941 when they were defeated by the British forces. From 1941 until 1952, Eritrea was under British Administration. In 1950, contrary to the Eritrean people's demand for their independence, the United Nations resolved to federate Eritrea with Ethiopia. In 1952, the federation went into effect and the British forces left Eritrea. As soon as the federation went into effect, the Ethiopian government started to violate the federal arrangement and finally on Dec. 2, 1962, Ethiopia annexed Eritrea. Because of the terrorization and the oppression by the Ethiopians against the Eritreans, the Eritrean people started their struggle for selfdetermination against Ethiopian government in 1961. Since then, for almost three decades, Eritrea has been in war against Ethiopia. This is just a short introduction to where Eritrea is located and why I feel it is necessary that at least the college-educated people should be able to know about it. It is also important to know Eritrea is a historic country. It is historic because Eritrean people fought and are still fighting the longest and loneliest war in the world. So, since the United States is in the mood of liberating annexed countries, like Kuwait, I hope someday they will also be supportive to the Eritrean struggle for self-determination. When that moment comes, I guarantee that all the people who have never heard the word Eritrea will know exactly what it means. They will also know the difference between South Africa and East Africa because the media will be projecting the outcome of the long struggle of the Eritrean people. But for right now, since I am part of thè ' campus community and I am sure I will be asked where I came from, please be informed where exactly Eritrea is located so you don't get it mixed with Apartheid. G EZAI BERHANE/CSUSTUDENT Fee increase wrong I got mine. Did you? Now there's a financial hold on my university records. Sounds like academic blackmail to me. If you paid yours without a valid budgetary reason, shame on you. All CSU students got a non-detailed invoice notice that they had to pay additional fees. Fees that weren't previously disclosed. Mine amounted to $12, which was a part-time fee difference. If that explanation is good enough for you, I suppose you deserve to be cheated out of the price of a pepperoni pizza or tickets for two to the movies. I work hard for what little money I get. Without a good reason, why should I sacrifice my expendable income? I've already paid my fees. I thought I was paid in full. End of story, which leads to speculation. Why does the CS U system need a post mortem fee of $ 12 from each student in the CS U system ? For the 354,734 students currently enrolled, this amounts to $4,256,808. That's a lot of money! Maybe it was poor planning. Maybe it was unforeseen costs. Maybe it wasfiscalmismanagement or afinancialstatement error. The fact is that fiscal mistakes, those past and present, are passed along to those of us who are the most vulnerable to such an unwarranted assault. Twelve measly dollars might not seem like much, but if you're giving away money, please send it to me. At least I'm polite and I can give you a good reason why I need it. K EVIN HAUMSHILT/QSU$TJUOENT �8 E XPIO PIONEER/TUESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1990 Tree shopping poses complex problems Children share Christmas wishes K ATHY SULLIVAN/PIONEER PIONEER For adults, Christmas is a time to gather with family and friends and share holiday cheer. One of the greatest joys for adults is seeing the reactions and hearing the meaning of the holiday through children. Cal State San Marcos student Debbi Ricketts talked to children at the YMCA preschool to find their views of the holiday. For some children, Christmas means snow and snowmen. Others find the joy of Christmas in the gifts. Still others are unsure of exactly what Christmas is. • "Christmas means to have snow, presents and a big army truck," says 4-year-old Kevin. • Mark, also age 4, says, "Christmas means the snow and a snowman." • "Christmas means I will dress up for Halloween and play Leggos," said Paul, age 3, who had some obvious confusion in holidays. "All I want for Christmas is Leggos." • Camielle, age 4, says, "Snow and Baby Bubbles, that's all Christmas is." • Four-year-old Danny says, "Christmas is snow, but it never snows here. It only snows at my grandma and grampa's house." • Victor, age 4, also thinks the meaning of Christmas lies in snow. He says, however that the lack of snow won't stop the jolly, old elf himself from coming to his house. "I have a chimney in my house and Santa Claus comes down it and gives me lots of toys." • "Christmas is lots of snow and we eat lots of stuff, lots of candy," said Mallory, age 3. "I would like a ring and a new jacket. I will make cookies for Santa Claus," she said. Another CSUSM student asked members of a nearby Cub Scout troop to share their impressions of the holiday season. These children found religious significance in the holiday, but still were primed for the spirit of giving. Many of those interviewed wanted video game systems. • Others, like 4-year-old Cindy, find Christmas to be a simple holiday. "On Christmas I go get , my tree and decorate it. That's i t? r • Jamie, age 12, says, "Christmas is all about giving. Presents are important, but i f's most of all food." Jamie only asks for one gift this year, "I want a CD player." • Ten-year-old Matt sees a religious significance in the season. "Christmas is Jesus's birthday. My favorite part is opening presents. I want a Nintendo game.' • "Christmas is giving, sharing and loving," says 10-year-old Shane. "I like it when we get the Decisions! Decisions! Decisions! The Christmas season is filled with decisions! Like what to buy for Aunt Betty, or whether to serve pumpkin or cherry pie; but who would have thought that one of the most time-consuming decisions I would face this holiday season would involve the selection of a Christmas Tree. The problems began with the explicit contradictory directions my family gave me on what type of tree should grace our living room. My daughter wanted a tall, thin tree for the corner. My husband wanted a short, fat tree that would fit on top of a coffee table, and my sons wanted a tall thick tree to go in the front window (the type where most of the living room furniture is pre-empted to the garage to make room for the tree). Full of all these helpful instruction, I drove to the Christmas Ttee Store, a live "tag now and cut later" Christmas tree lot in Valley Center. I had allowed myself about a halfhour to pick out the tree. Upon arriving at the lot I thought that thirty minutes was more than enough time, for there were beautiful pines everywhere I looked. Ron and Oshia Zace, owners of the Christmas Tree Store, provide the tree shoppers with white PVC pipe marked with bright red tape at one foot intervals. The pipe helps guarantee that someone doesn't buy a 10-foot tree for an eight-foot living room. The only problem I found with the pole, other than feeling like a knight carrying a standard into battle, is that the terrain in Valley Center is less than flat. The Zace's Christmas Trees Store is not an exception to the rule. I found that hilly slopes pretree up. sented a unique problem. Where I want a Genesis game and do 1 put the measuring pole?

CSUSM student Debbie Duffy, talked to members of an Oceanside Girl Scout troop to find out what they thought the meaning of Christmas is. Many of the girls found decorating the tree to be one of the highlights of the season. • Beth, age 7, says Christmas is when, "...you get to decorate the tree and then you put your stockings on the fireplace and then you go to bed.

It wasn't long before I found a likely-looking tree. I circled it two or three times, like a dog looking for a place to nap, checking for hard to hide holes. My attention was diverted by this voluptuous looking green beauty two rows up and five trees over. And so it went as I hiked up and down the hills, being continually called by the tree in the next row. After four hours, not the allotted thirty minutes, of meandering through 20 acres of green beauties, brandishing my measuring pole, I finally made my decision. I think I picked out a tree about six feet tall and six feet in diameter, with a straight back, evenly trimmed branches, and a heart and soul. Ripping off the bottom of the tree ticket, I started back to the Santa barn to pay for my prize tree. Of course, I had picked a tree at the far end of the acreage so that I had to walk through rows and rows of pines to get to the sales counter.

Below is a list of local productions of this Charles Dickens' fable; other holiday shows listings follow: ELAINE WHALEY/PlONEER The San Diego Repertory Theatre's current adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic'A Christmas Carol', is a surprisingly original production the entire family will enjoy. Rousing music, amusing choreography and the unexpected ethnic diversity of the cast combine in this sometimes humorous, sometimes dramatic and always entertaining production. Though D ickens's original novel is closely followed, a few modern twists have been successfully added. The setting of the opening scene is a vacant lot and the characters are a group of conHOLIDAY temporary transients. A fascinating duality HAPPENINGS of character occurs when these homeless people are transformed into the familiar Ebenezer Scrooge, Bob Crachit, Tiny Tim and the various spirits of Christmas that populate the Dickens novel. The use of this device illustrates the obvious metaphor; the poor in the alley of 19th-century London are clearly the same disadvantaged who populateourparkbenchesandvacantlots. Their world hasn't changed all that much. We are invited to self-examination in a cheerfully entertaining way. Many of the comic moments in this production result when the transients fall out of their Dickens characters. Few of these opportunities for buffoonery were left unexplored by the cast. Leon Singer plays the miserly Scrooge and brings the character from his initial moral bankruptcy into eventual redemption with convincing fervor. Richard Allen makes a comic black Ghost of Christmas Present with an unforgettable singing voice. The Ghost of Christmas past, Helen Reed Lehman, haunts Ebenezer Scrooge, Leon Singer, in the San Diego Repertory Theatre's production of 'A Christmas Carol.' Kory Abosada, who play Tiny Tim, is a talented 10-year-old from San Diego School of Creative and performing Arts. Although his one short song was obviously difficult for him, it was manfully rendered. Acting and dancing are definitely his strong suits. Thomas Buderwitz designed a set which coped imaginatively with the restrictive dimensions of the Lyseum Stage and managed to convey a sense of 19th-century England using materials available to street people. Some changes occurred onstage without interrupting the flow of action, due in part to some inventive lighting design by John B. Foibes. Currently playing at the Lyseum Stage in Horton Plaza, the show runs through Dec. 23. Tickets range from $15 to $25 depending upon the day and time of the show. In the spirit of Christmas and as part of the Rep's holiday program for disadvantaged and shelter families, patrons are urged to bring unwrapped gifts to each performance. There will be distributed at a special benefit performance on Dec. 19. Broadcasters, performers organize toy drive In conjunction with San Diego Repertory Theatre's annual production of Charles Dickens's 4 A Christmas Carol,' theREPandKFMB Channel 8 will sponsor "A Magic Christmas" for hundreds of children of San Diego's shelter Horton Plaza or to Channel 8 at 7677 Engineer Road. These gifts will be distributed to children and families invited to a special performance of 'A Christmas Carol' on Dec. 19 followed by a families. reception. " ... we learned last year that these children Throughout the performance o f 4 A Christmas Carol,' patrons are encouraged to bring a new and families are the ones who need that special unwrapped gift to the REP's Lyceum Theatre in gift of love because they can't go home," said Channel 8 Public Affairs Director Maria Velasquez, "there is something wrong - violence or neglect" Among the organizations which will be included in the "Magic Christmas" program are; Hillcrest Receiving Home, S t Vincent de Paul, Casa de Amparo, Hidden Valley House, Southeast Emergency Quarters, Project Safehouse and Casa de Paz.

When If it's holiday time, it must be time for yet he realizes that he is in charge of the household, another John Hughes movie. Hughes, with his he puts aside some of his childhood needs and sugar-coated messages, has come up with yet trades them for a shopping cart and a laundry another sickeningly sweet morsel with his latest basket. He shows himself that he is not the venture, 'Home Alone.' helpless baby his family believes him to be. The film's predictable plot leaves precocious The funniest part of the movie comes when a 8-year-old Kevin, played by Macaulay Culkin, pair of Mutt and Jeff burglars (Joe Pesci and accidentally stranded at home while his family Daniel Stern) attempt to rob Kevin's fortress. jets off to Paris. For 10 minutes, the boy pits his wits against the For Kevin, the opportunity to be master of the criminals and wins hilariously. Discovering the house affords him the chance to live in child- clever traps set by Kevin is almost worth the hood heaven. He shovels down massive ice price of admission. cream sundaes while watching gangster movies As Kevin, Culkin is addictingly cute, but, in and sliding down the stairs on a toboggan. the hands of Director Chris Columbus ('The LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER Goonies'), this cuteness is a bit overplayed. Close-ups of Kevin screaming after he puts on after-shave or sees the mysterious man next door, are far too frequent to be effective. Even so, Culkin plays his part with a childish zest that is a joy to watch. In Culkin we see a new leading man that the under-8 crowd can look up to. He is cute, independent and more intelligent than most of the adults in the film. Any child under 12 will see Kevin as a hero who lives out all their fantasies and doesn't suffer retribution. Pesci and Stern give adequate performances as the bumbling burglars as do John Heard and Catherine O'Hara as Kevin's undersighted parents. Wholesale Rob Reiner directs suspense in Misery' SUNGLASSES BONUS DISCOUNT I HI A O / ° OPEN TO THE PUBLIC • WHY PAY RETAIL? J ONATHAN YOUNCyPIONEER Ann Wilkes stands up straight and settles her weight on the back of her heals. She has just finished a task and tells her new guest that she loves him. The guest, novelist Paul Randall, screams in pain, because her task was to crush his ankles with a sledge hammer. The hobbling, as she called her task, is the only terror that Kathy Bates' character casts on her guest in 'Misery.' The new Stephen King bookturned-movie has strong suspense to its advantage, but the final terror lets the audience down in comparison. James Caan plays the best-selling novelist that is saved by Ann Wilkes after a car crash during a snow storm. It's immediately known that Wilkes is Randall's number one fan and he's alive because she's a nurse. A normal relationship is established, characters are developed, and Randall's wound begins to heal. The tables turn when Bates' character reads the latest 'Misery' book, the last in the series of books that gave Randall his fame. In this book, the main character is killed to finally conclude the lengthy succession. The number one fan is now pissed off. The tension and suspense grows as Wilkes forces Randall to write a new book, reviving 'Misery's' character. Wilkes' past crimes, insanity and terror now slowly become known. With the great build up and superb acting by both Caan and Bates, the expectation isn't met. There is no release, no climax; it was a let down. The final scenes however, might move the fastest and have the most audience response. It is in thespjilm frames that Caan' s character reips his own horror on his capture. Going into further detail here, however, will give the ending away. Bob Reiner traverses the directing chasm from comedy to this horror film. The path probably wasn't easy as evident in some scenes, but it definitely can be considered a success. Caan has a rather easy role, due to his physical immobility from the accident. This restrains his performance to dialog and facial expressions which he accomplishes with the ease of an accomplished actor. Fairly new to the big screen, Bates gave a fantastic performance in the more difficult role. She had to be convincingly nice and sweet, a true fan, but she also had to able to put terror into hervictim. Her acting shines bright and she gains the spotlight as the best performer in the show. Overall, 'Misery' is recommended because of a skillful suspense development and superb acting and directing. Even thought the film dons the title of 'horror show,' however, don't expect a lot of blood and guts or a lot of dramatic climax. OVSSi ^ ' w i Will MATCH A N f ^ ADvansfconucE > ^ ,C ^ ^ é ^ ^ «-tA^ W^T^AI ^ John Williams offers a whimsical score that captures the spirit of an 8-year-old. Once again he proves himself to be the master at writing movie scores. Even with Columbus's direction the film is unmistakenly earmarked as a John Hughes project It is filled with those gooey, sentimental messages about the American family that have clouded other Hughes movies like 'The Breakfast Club' or 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off.' 'Home Alone' is a mildly entertaining cute movie with basically only 10 funny minutes. If you're home alone for the evening, you're better off with a good book. If you're stuck with the kids for the night, 'Home Alone' is much better entertainment than 'Family Ties' reruns. Receive An I I m / g g ^ F Additional | %Jf / y p Our Already super low prices.

CALENDAR/PAGE 1 4 Major medical center planned J ONATHAN. YOUNG/PIONEER Scripps Memorial Hospitals is currently negotiating^ to purchase at least two parcels to secure land needed to construct a major medical complex near the permanent campus site of Cal State San Marcos. Scripps Memorial closed escrow in September on 4.5 acres, making it thé second parcel of property acquired this year.. The recentparcel, located near the corner of Echo Lane and Discovery Street, was acquired from A.B. Farm, Inc. The vacant tractis contiguous with the 31.5 acres purchased by Scripps Memorial from Golden Net Worth and other parties last June. Long-term plans call for the medical center to comprise 60 to 70 acres. Plans for the site include the construction of a major inpatient and outpatient medical center to meet the medical and health care needs of San Diego's growing North County area. Although Cal State San Marcos has not been approached,a spokesman for Scripps Memorial said a relationship between the new neighbors could be a possibility. "... we definitely feel that the university in the community will be an asset," said Michael Dabney, Coordinator o f Media Relations. "I'm sure that will be discussed at a later date. Right now the priority is to get the specifications confirmed with the city." "Our relationship with the city of San Marcos on this matter has been positive from the start, and we look forward to the continuance of this relationship as we go about meeting the medical needs of the community," said Lauren Blagg, executive vice president of Scripps Memorial Hospitals. Although details for the medical complex have not yet been finalized, the first phase of the project, the construction of an outpatient facility and medical offices, could begin by next year. The second phase, the construction of a hospital, could be the year after next. "Scripps Memorial is evaluating specific health care needs of the citizens of the San Marcos area in order to provide therightcombination if services," said Blagg, adding that the building plan is expected to be carrier out in phases aver 20 to 25 years depending on community need. "It would be a outpatient and inpatient treatment facility," said Dabney. "A research facility is not in the picture at this time. "Down the road there will be other options on what we can do with the facility. Right now we're shooting for 60 to 70 acres. So we're leavingour options open for that development. "As we develop the project further, (a relationship with Cal S tate San Marcos) is certainly an option for discussion," Dabney said. In August, 1987, Scripps Memorial exercised its option to purchase 70 acres of property in Carlsbad for a North County hospital. Scripps Memorial has reassessed its plans, however, and detennined that the San Marcos site offers more effective opportunities.

But for some, the holiday season brings sorrow and depression. Recognizing the needs of those in the area that have no money to afford a holiday celebration, officials at Cal State San Marcos and San Diego State North County have started a food and gift drive. Proceeds from the drive will go to needy families in the San Marcos area. "Maybe (the drive) will give them the idea that the university is not foreign," said Sandra Punch, Coordinator of Student Services at CSUSM and SDSU North County. "The drive reaches out to the community and not just those who are college bound." Punch said the drive started out as "just an idea" four years ago. "As time went on we tried to make it a viable project," Punch said. Together with Janice Sinclair, in Student Services, and Deborah Coronado, in Personnel Services, Punch is setting up gift-wrapped donation boxes throughout campus where students, faculty and administration can deposit nonperishable food and gifts. Boxes will be placed in the Student Lounge, the Student Services Building, Building 125, Building 820 and the Library. Cash donations can be brought to brought to Punch, Sinclair or Coronado. Punch said the group is looking for those who have no avenues for help during the holiday season. Those who are unaware of the programs offered by the state for help or are too proud to take advantage Of them are prime candidates f or, donations. The family chosen last year had lost their eldest son in Mexico. The niother and father had both been laid off from their HAPPENINGS jobs and all their available income was spent transporting the son's body back home. The family was in need of a working stove and the children had no chance of getting gifts for Christmas. As a result of the drive, enough money was raised to buy the family a brand new stove. The family was also given a swing set, a 10-speed bicycle, Barbie dolls, food and clothing—all of which was donated by participants in the drive. 'The families are surprised because they expect less than they get," said Punch. Do to the growing success of the program, Punch said more families will be chosen to receive gifts this year than before. Needy families are found through HOLIDAY local churches and schools. "We go to schools where they see what families have need." Punch said that, through daily interactions, schools have personal contact with those in need. Once prospective families-have been found, Punch contacts them on the telephone to see if they would be interested in receiving a donation. "We leave it up to the family," said Punch. "We've never been turned down y et" The names and locations of the family are kept confidential. Information about what they need is posted on the donation boxes to help donors select the most needed gifts. Apart from nonperishable foods, Punch said soaps, detergents, paper products and clothing also make good gifts. "It's a good time of the year to fcl£ar out pour closets. Jeans jackets and sticks are much needed items," she said. In addition to the gift drive, Punch said she is also looking for Christmas tree donors. On Nov. 30 a tree decorating party will be held in the Student Lounge. Students can bring ornaments to place on the trees. The decorated trees will be transported to needy families who otherwise would not have a tree. "During the holidays it's buy, buy, buy for family and friends," said Punch. "It's a good time to think of families and children who need things." PREGNANT TEENS GET HELP Student organizes support group L ARRY BOiSJOLIE/PIONEER Trying to gain an education can be a frustrating and difficult experience. Those in Charolette Bell's Students at Risk: Psychological and Educational Perspectives class see just how difficult learning can be. For her class, Bell requires that students spend a minimum of three hours per week helping troubled children transcend their problems and turn toward education. v Some students work* with kids on drugs or children of alcoholic families; others help those with learning disabilities. Anita Carter helps pregnant teens and young mothers learn how to get the most of their education while tending to a new life. "The group I chose are teenage moms who may not complete their education," says Carta*. "My number one purpose is for kids to get credits to finish high school through independent study." For three day? a week, Carter spends timeat Foothills Continuation School in San Marcos. She works .with young womenfrom15-18 years of age who have children or are expecting. Carter selected this group of students because she, like many of her students, is expecting a child. With the help of Janet Stoddard, who heads the program at Foothill, Carter hopes to create an environment that is conducive for study for the young mothers. "The fact that I'm pregnant brings k idsoutAlotof conversation isabout my baby," Carter says. She points out that many of the students have added incentive to complete their education because they "have another mouth to feed." To bring the students role models, Carter has organized a "shadow day" where women holding profes3ional occupations lead the young mothers girpugh a day in their lives. Carter found professionals such as bankers and attorneys to take on the kic(s for a day. On Dec. 10, these professionals will take the teens to their businesses to see what a life nurtured by education can bring. Carter found most of the sponsors through referrals from other businesspeople. She said when she tried to reach them "cold" her success was minimal. "A couple of professions had to turn it down because it would conflict with patient confidentiality," cites Carter. According to Carter, there are 13 to IS students in the program. She is confident that enough professionals will come forward to accommodate them. Atfirst,Carter gave each student a card to fill out, stating the kinds of professions which interest them. Some were quiet and reluctant to fill the cards out, but eventually Carter obtained good response.

Fees will also go toward the building of a Student Union complex on campus. According to Zomalt, the task force hopes to create a form of government that will serve as an educational model as well as a governmental system. "The members of the Task Force not only viewed the Associated Students asva governing body, but as a learning experience," he said. With a committee-management type of government, students serving in the Associated Student Government will be able to utilize their experience in their future places of employment Many corporations used this type of management system.

He said many wish ^ tó bfecbníé in Vólv&'but dóif t Mve the time presently to fit student government into their schedules. "We're still getting in survey forms from the beginning of the semester," he said. "Maybe students will say next semester that 'I can fit it into my schedule."' With a near doubling of the population in spring, Zomalt expects new students to also take part in the planning stages. He hopes those on the task forces will continue their momentum during the semester break. "There's enough stuff on the table for the (Task Force) students to mull over the interim," he said. In the spring task force members will continue on where they left off in the fall. Most of what was decided during this semester will serve as a broad base for future work. "By next fall, the fully functional Associated Student will be implemented," Zomalt said. According to Zomalt, the work completed is far behind what was originally expected. He said that nobody was aware of the amount of work to be done. "In good faith, the students came together to give it a shot, but they weren't that experienced. I appreciate the work of this group and what they have done," he said. "We all underestimated the magnitude of this job." » g �TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1990/PIONEER Clubs and Organizations "The work done by the Clubs and Organizations Subcommittee will probably be among the most unappreciated, but most vital," Zomalt said. Throughout the semester, the task force has developed an outline describing elements necessary forla student handbook. The handbook will present codes of action and conduct for students at CSUSM to follow. The subcommittee divided its general statements and definitions outline into three parts. The first part is an overview of activities and services that will be available for students in the coming years. It includes the advantages of being a Chartered Campus Organization and it will describe how student fees and activities will be implemented. In the second part of the handbook, campus policies and regulations will be put forth. Students will have policies regarding drugs, gambling harassment and abusive behavior among others that will affect the entire student population. "The work this task force does will concern all student organizations," Zomalt said. The third part will deal with the implementation of student discipline. Student policies on academic dishonesty, grade policies and disciplinary matters will be threshed out for the general population. According to Zomalt, the group found the work load to be far greater than originally anticipated. They sent for policies from other universities to aid them in developing a sophisticated, yet readable student handbook. The stack of documents they collected grew to about six inches tall. Zomalt said the outline represents a significant amount of work by the task force. In order to draft policies from the general structure that was created, the subcommittee must delve deeply into the policies of other state universities. "It turned out to be a much greater task than we originally thought," Zomalt said.

The slightly perturbed male voice was mentioning the most misquoted quote of all time. With jingoistic rhetoricfromWashington and Baghdad currently burning a hole the size of Kuwait in the ozone layer, the speaker was nothing, if not timely. The quote he mentioned was "My country right or wrong." I had always thought that was the full quote. The radio voice quickly set me straight. The entire quotation is: "My country P I O N E E R S T A F F WRITER right or wrong. *If right, to keep it right; if wrong, to put it right" ^ I suddenly wondered how many people had died because they had blindly lived by a misquotation, and more importantly, how many young men and woman may soon be sent home in zip-lock bags because of continued ignorance of the proper form of the quotation? When I got home, I tried to find out who had originally spoken these oft misquoted words. I was unsuccessful, but I did come across a number of others I'd like to share. I hope you find these words as pertinent today as they must have been when originally spoken. • How good bad music and bad reasons sound when we march against the enemy. — Nietzche • To delight in war is a merit in the soldier, a dangerous quality in the captain, and a positive crime in the statesman. — Santayana • Three-quarters of a soldier's life is spent aimlessly waiting about — Rosenstock-Huessy • The martial character cannot prevail in a whole people but by the diminution of all other virtues. — Dr. Johnson • War can protect; it cannot create. - Whitehead • The third part of an army must be destroyed, before a good one can be made out of i t —Halifax • Nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won. —Wellington • In order to have good soldiers, a nation must be always at war. —Napoleon • Force and fraud are in war the two cardinal virtues. — Hobbes •In time of war, the loudest patriots are the greatest profiteers. — Bebel • Liberty means responsibility.

A THOUGHT; " It's a good thing we Qjon't get all the government we pay for." WILL ROGERS State universities should ax lower-division curriculum The higher education system in California is monumental to a democratic society's commitment to education. It is certainly one of the most influential institutions in the world. The Master Plan for California collegiate education spells out a huge network of junior colleges, state universities, and the University of California (UC). Each division is distinguished by their place on the spectrum from teaching school to research institute. More specifically, the UC system is to nearly monopolize academic research, the community colleges are dedicated to broad student services, and the state universities are expected to walk a .middle road combining these contrary features. It is time to revisit the state university's mandate to examine if this contradiction in purpose is still plausible. Clearly, the state university circuit is the least precisely defined in mission. By nature it is distinguished from the junior college as baccalaureate and master degree-granting institutions, so most of the faculty are doctors (PhD). Community colleges issue only the perfunctory associate degree, and master degree holders dominate the faculty. Similarly, the state university is not like the University of California. It is not designed or equipped to be a research institute on that scale. Research is so heartily persued at UC, it is not unusual for the undergraduate to be taught several courses by a professor's assistant, thereby freeing up the scholar for the lab or library. On the other hand, the pressure on state university professors to "stay current in their field's literature" (meaning publish or perish) is in- DAVID HAMMOND PIONEER OPINION EDITOR tense, as in the UC. Likewise, the demands to retain students, serve the community, and teach well, virtually duplicates the visibility of a community college professor. Evidently, the missions of the state university are mutually exclusive in their current formulation. In order to abilitate the state universities to meet all of our expectations, it may be time to shuffle the assignments of services. It is an era demanding a greater degree of specialty by each division of California's higher education network. The arguments for relinquishing lower division courses at state universities, and thereby making them the privy of the community colleges, are convincing. The junior college provides better services to the student just entering the foray, while the state university best hosts the upper classperson who is prepared for a more mature and challenging academic environment. Specifically, the junior college can concentrate on those services most needed by the freshperson: study-skills, academic and career counseling, and vocational skills. It is an excellent time for the high-school graduate to discover and master the complexities of higher academia. At the same time, the re-entering student in his/her late twenties is invited to sample courses and brush-up on contemporaneous thinking. For both groups, the stage is embryonic due to the faculty's emphasis on teaching and counseling, rather than obscure research. The state university, on the other hand, provides an opportunity for the seasoned pupil to stretch both mental capacity and ability. By freeing the state university professor from theduldrumsof lower-division instruction,more energy can be dedicated to academic research. Since teaching would be focused on upperdivision courses, which tend to be more specialized, and less remedial, it is likely that more of the research can be incorporated into the curriculum. In this scenario, both the student and the teacher are beneficiaries. Finally, the state's higher education system will also be a benefactor in the coming age of specialization. There is an economics-of-scale that intuitively dictates that one institution cannot "do it all." By recognizing the distinctive qualities of lower and upper division students, the menu of services can be tuned to each population1 s needs with less duplication of expenses. That's good news at a time of multi-billion dollar deficits. Likewise, a less burdened state university professor, given a real chance to meet publication pressure, is a greater asset to everyone. �8 EXPLORI Bottles of varietals tempt local visitors at the gift shop of the Callaway Vineyard and Winery in Temecula.

Thefirstwinery that I visited fit in with my sleepy-valley image, in that I drove on a dirt road through rows of grape vines to a wooden barn. Inside were stacks of barrels, both stainless steel and oaken, with the tasting bar tucked into the corner. Hart Winery is fam;iy owned and I was served an excellent assortment of wines by Bill Hart, the son of the founder, Travis Hart In 1973 Travis (Joe) Hart, a Physical Oceanographer at Scripps Institute, purchased 12 acres. Over the next several years he and his family planted the acreage with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot Grapes. In 1980 he bottled his first 350 cases of wine. Today the winery is buying local grapes and is bottling 6,500 cases. The Hart winery is open Saturdays for tasting from 11 to 4. Its wines include mostly dry white wines with a few sweater varieties. The prices run $6.50 for a bottle of Chenin Blanc to $12 for their Merlot. Be sure to try their Chardonnay! Traveling east on Rancho California Rd. I drove by several elegant Mediterranean-sty lebuildings. Thinking it was an exclusive country club I actually passed the entrance when it dawned on me that Culbertson was a name of a wine. To my joy this cosmopolitan winery made only champagnes. They charge $5.00 a person to sample three champagnes: Cuvee Rouge (a sparkling red Pinot Noir), Cuvée de Frontignan (an sparkling blend of Muscat and Pinot Blanc) and NV Brut (a classic brut Champagne). The John Culbertson Winery is located on 20 acres of vineyard. Tours are available every two hoursfrom10 to 4 on Sat and Sun. (for the next five weeks tours will be closed on Sat. because of production). The Café Champagne is a gourmet cafe designed to complement the famous Culbertson Champagnes. The tasting room is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. In 1988,twoofCulbertson'schampagnes were served at the inaugural ball for President Bush and it has been chosen to be the champagne of the 1991 Super Bowl. The gift shop has a variety of 12 different champagnes and some interesting and unusual gift ideas. Almost across the street from Culbertson Winery is the Callaway Winery. Callaway is the largest winery, bottling 280,000 cases of white wine a year. The original vineyard was started by Ely Callaway in 1969 on 105 acres. In 1982 Hiram t alker Temecula Valley Wines Blanc De Blanc Made with Chardonnay grapes, this wine has a dry, plean bouquet.

It offers tours and tasting daily from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Two dollars is charged for the tasting and you can take home your tasting glass. Callaway Winery offers only white wines, and prices run from $5.50 for its Spring Wine to $16.95 for the Blanc de Blanc. Be sure to try the White Riesling! Just down Rancho California Rd. is Mount Palomar Winery. This winery is tucked among the grape vines and nestled under California Oaks. Their idyllic setting is enhanced by the charming family atmosphere. MountPalomar Winery was started by John Poole in 1969 on 225 acres. He retired from KBIG radio station, which he founded, on Catalina Island. Mr. Poole brought vintner Joe Cherpin from Cucamunga Valley, to design the winery and lay out the grape fields. In 1975, MountPalomar produced its first bottles of commercial wine. It now bottles 15,000 cases with hopes of expanding to 25,000 cases in the near future. In 1993 the winery plans to premier its first red wine, SangioiieseRed. "It's a nice way to spend a weekend: drinking MountPalomar Champagne, eating fine cheese, good bread and smoked oysters," said Dale Bergeron, a visitor from El Toro. The winery provides a picnic area among the Oaks for the leisurely sipping of its fine wines. The winery is still family owned, with Peter and Bridget Poole making most of the decisions/ This family atmosphere radiates throughout the winery. Mount Palomar Winery is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily for tours and tasting. The gift shop has some lovely gift ideas. The tasting is free except for the Chardonnay, which costs 25 centsa taste. I really likedthe Chardonnay, it,s well worth the quarter tasting fee! A little farther east on Rancho California Rd. lies Maurice Carrie Winery. Iwas immediately impressed with the French, New Orleans style architecture, with rose-lined paths, and a dixieland band playing in the gazebo. The inside of the winery emanated a cozy-friendly mood. The servers were jovial and thé crowd was having KATHY SULLIVAN/PIONEER The Maurie CarrieWinery in Temecula has a European ambience that welcomes visitors from near or from far fun. One hundred and twenty acres of away. grapes were purchased by Budd and Maurice Van Roekel in 1986. They built the beautiful winery and tasting rooms three years ago. Tasting at Maurice Carrie Winery is free and fun. The servers are relaxed and helpful. The hours are from 9:30 a.m. tq 5 p.m. daily. The pçices are reasonable, ranging from $4.95 for Champagne-Maurice Carrie (also known as Buddy 's Bubbles) to $9.95 for Summer's End 1987, a late harvest Riesling.

These older plants produce a desired grape, bred for centuries by winemakers to yield the best tasting wines. By grafting the newer vines to the old root stocks, growers are able to add longevity to the vine stock. Natural grass and weeds are allowed to thrive between the vines to bring beneficial insects to eat those that chew away at grapes and their leaves. The Callaway vineyard has built roosts for hawks and owls on their vine structures to curb the rodent population and the winery breeds wasps to further eliminate pests. This natural approach to pest control works amazingly well. In its 21year existence, the vineyard has used pesticides only three times, and then only during periods that would not harm the grapes. Strict ordinances, regulating the usage of pesticides, protect all the local vineyards from inadvertent contamination. At Callaway, the vines are grown 42 inches above the ground to facilitate grape gathering for workers. The vineyard also found that jthis height, 10 inches higher than at other wineries, provided better air circulation EXPLORE under the vines, resulting in healthier fruit To conserve water, Callaway uses drip spigots to nourish the plants. The spigots also prevent the roots of the vinesfromrotting and mildewing. Toward the end of August the harvest begins. For three weeks the valley is flooded with workers, who franLOS ANGELES 9C MILES tically pick grapes at their sweetest, most tenderripeness. Atno other time of the year are grapes harvested. The grapes are transported to a crusher, which smashes 40 tons of grapes to liquid and pulp in six minutes. The juice is drained off and the rest (twigs, leaves and grape pulp) is transported by conveyor belt to a tank where the debris is settled for 24-36 hours and removed. Through this process, 95 percent of the juice is recoveredfromthe grapes. The remaining debris and juice is SAN DIEGO ground up and used as a natural m ulch 60 MILES for the vineyards.

To eliminate such a flavor, winemakers age the product in oak barrels. Callaway has 360 of the barrels, which hold a total of 10,000 gallons of wine. BarrelsfromFrance, costing $420 each, are used rather than American barrels because they produce a better flavor. American barrels give a cedar flavor to the wine. The age of the barrel also contributes to the taste. Vintages aged in year-old barrels, for instance, will have a stronger flavor than those aged infive-year-oldbarrels. The wine is then ready to be bottled and sent to distributors. Other local wineries use similar processes but on a much smaller scale. The John Piconi Winery , just east of Callaway vineyards, produces only 6,000 cases of wine each year. 3REÄSE MONKEY 10 MINUTE LUBE & OIL PROS WITH COUPON $20.99 plus tax Reg. $25.99 10-Minute LUBE & OIL CHANGE • Change oil • Check/fill battery fluid • Check wiper b lades • Check/fin windshield w asher » Lubricate c hassis • Check tire p ressure • Check/fill differential • Check/fill transmission fluid • Vacuum Interior • Check/fin power steering • Check/fill brake fluid • Wash windows •Air f iler c heck •pSr • Check a rti-ireeze » Replace oB (liter g EXPIRES 12/31/90 2 CONVENIENT LOCATIONS Maximum P rotection Against Vlacoalty an Thermal Breakdown 10W30 20W50 10W4030WL ESCONDIDO 649 N.

College officials are hopeful that the six-week delay in construction, caused by the dispute between Louetto and Poss, won't compromise the opening of the main campus for the fall of 1992. " We're delighted at the prospect of seeing work resume on the project," said CSUSM President Bill Stacy. " We've lost so much time that our ultimate opening schedule may be in d oubt...." Stacy said he is confident that Lusardi will "extend every effort to get construction moving." Albert Amado, vice president of Physical Planning and Campus Construction said in an earlier interview that the phase one stage of work is a "critical path for the project." He said that delays, such as that created by the Louetto-Poss dispute, could start a "major chain reaction" resulting in a setback in the construction of the new campus's buildings. Amado said the campus will open on time providing no more setbacks occur in the building process. SEE CAMPUS/PAGE 5 Spanish book center t o boost world awareness for youth L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER As part of the university's goal of creating an atmosphere of global awareness, a Center for the Study of Books in Spanish for Children and Adolescents is scheduled to open at CSUSM on Dec. 6. The Center, the only one of its kind in the world, will contain books in Spanish for children and adolescents and books for youths in English about Hispanics. "The main purpose of the Center is to get children to read," said Dr. Isabel Schon, director of the Center and a member of CSUSM's founding faculty. Schon said the forthcoming facility is the only one in the world that collects all recent books in Spanish for children. The Library of Congress contains some as does the Library in Mexico City, she said. "When I first came to the States, it hit me very hard that there was nothing for Hispanics to read." ISABEL FOUNDING SCHON/ FACULTY "Having lived in Mexico, I was aware of how many children do not have access to books," Schon said. "When I first came to the States, it hit me very hard that there was nothing for Hispanics to read." Schon said that many of the books available express negative views and stereotype Hispanic culture. "Why not get positive things o f' both cultures," said Schon. "Many people don' t know or understand other groups. W e're basically all humans." Schon said that, with a growing Hispanic population in this country, cultural awareness needs to be expanded to increase production in the work place. She mentioned how little the United States understands its neighbors to the south. "Unfortunately, many Anglo and Hispanic students d on't realize how much joy and beauty there is in the Mexican people," SEE CENTER/PAGE 5 �MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUND Steps can be taken to prevent colds, flu With this column, I would like to dispel a few common misconceptions about the dreaded "Flu." Generally people use the word flu to describe a host of illnesses whose miseries range from nasal congestion to chest congestion and coughing to gastrointestinal symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. True "Influenza" is one of the three types A, B, or C and is a highly contagious acute viral disease that spreads rapidly among large groups, especially in close environments like classrooms, work sites and dormitories. Actually it can spread rapidly CSUSM Professor Duff Brenna has found publishing success with his book, "The Book of Mamie." Brenna is currently working on another novel and hopes "Mamie" will be produced as a motion picture. across the population and in some years (usually even ten or so) it can affect 20 to 30 percent of the population.

The vaccine is usually available in October or November because after vaccination ittakes two to eight weeks for antibodies to develop. As an aside, it is of interest to note that viruses travel around the globe from the far east to our west coast. By knowing the viruses in the far east that year, out public health officials develop a vaccine bases on those viruses that will reach the U.S. in the winter. The vaccine is usually about 75 percent effective in preventing the flu and may also reduce the severity of the flu. Anybody, for the most part, can get the vaccine, but some people definitely should be vaccinated. The groups that are considered high risk are people with chronic illness especially lung disease including asthma, people with depressed immunity, anyone 55-years-old or older, and people who are in the medical profession or are caretakers of high risk persons. Also, unlike the common cold and not widely known by the public, is the fact that Influenza A can be treated with a drug called Amantadine. It is most helpful if given as soon as possible after the onset of the flu. It frequently shortens the illness and reduces its severity. As opposed to the self-care recommended for managing the common cold, if one recognizes the early signs of Influenza, it is recommended to see your health care provider to determine if Amantadine would be of benefit.

" A lot of global understanding through reading of books can be communicated to the young. These discussions will supply understandings and misunderstandings of people," Schon said. The Center will be used as an educational institute for exposing teachers and librarians to Hispanic literature. Schon said the Center plans on holding an annual conference with authorities from Mexico and educators in the ñeld attending. "It* s important to get a date for the conference that is convenient for teachers and librarians," she said. Schon said that, because the Center is educational in nature, the costs will b e relatively low. Publishers interested in the project have sent a great majority of the books to the Center without charge. NEWS 5 "Once publishers understand the project, they send review copies," Schon stated. Schon, who was born in Mexico City, has worked with vendors in Spain and Latin America and has communicated with vendors in those countries. She said that growth for the Center's collection will be a continued requirement to insure obtaining the . most recent books. Dr. Lyndon W.

While walking into the class, my study partner summed it all up: "I can write my notes from beginning to end, but I doubt I can answer a question." The custom of using high-pressure, get-set-go evaluation is academia's last relic of the Dark Age. As my friend's statement i mp lies, t he process is so great to InstaRegurgitation, I am finding that I literally wash my memory of a subject at P I O N E E R O P I N I O N E DITOR the end of the latest t est The great educator Alfred North Whitehead has stated, "The really useful training yields a comprehension of a few general principles with a thorough grounding in the way they apply to a variety of concrete details." In other words, the best education is full of skill and process, not fact and definition. This begs the original question: Are midterm^and finals a test of our "comprehension of a few general principles?" Put differently, are we being better equipt to solve the problems of life and business because we could literally recompose our notes? I pray that we are never the better of beasts by memory alone. I am suggesting that a more effective evaluation of the attributes we aspire to teach is the less harried project approach. Particularly at a time when writing skills are enjoying unprecedented emphasis, the term paper is a welcome device. Likewise, group e fforts develop and test most of the important elements of the "right s tuff:" leadership, communication, compromise, negotiation, and consolidation. Unfortunately, the bulk of academia, staff and students, is geared against the planning arid prodding that are the hallmarks of the successful project or paper. Teachers and learners likewise lean to the test as the quickest, and so easiest, means to evaluate and finish. At the same time, we sacrifice each other on the pressure-point day. Can this carnage have a meaning I have missed in my confession of madness? Supposing for a moment that the test does measure a quality that the student knows. Given that it assesses abilities to collect and perform underpressure. Arguably, the search and pacing of a paper do these things and more, such as developing writing and organization skills. Certainly, the group project, while harder to grade, is instantly revealing of stars and missing fits. Admitting that the midterm alerts the professor to soft performers, the developmental nature of the term project allows forricherand more frequent interaction, and only more learning can come of this. Everyone's experience is enriched when the mentor stands by the learner's side. I 'm mad as hell. W e all lost out on that experience.

ANONYMOUS Who decides, whether there will be a war in the Persian Gulf? Is it our dynamic Congress which, at least constitutionally, is given the power? Or President Bush, vicariously elevating the testosterone by sending everyone in uniform, short of Campfire Girls, to the Saudi beach party? Is it Saddam Hussein, maligned by merely emulating past U.S. "actions" in Guatemala, Panama, Nicaragua, the Philippines, et al? Or how about the Israelis performing their daily version of Krystall Nacht on Palestinian Arabs? The answer is None of the Above, because the real power of war and peace lies between your nose and chin. Since your impatience for riddles may exceed even mine, let me quickly get to the heart of the matter. Unless you're truly into sand sculpting, or testing dune buggies, you know the Arabian Peninsula holds absolutely no attraction for the average American except for the billions of gallons of crude oil upon which it sits. You also know that between 10 and 20 percent of the oil we consume comes from this region. So the choices appear to be either go to war to maintain our present standard of living, or cut down on our oil consumption. The present buildup in the Persian Gulf suggests that Bush thinks we prefer conflict over conservation. Perhaps that's because we associate cutbacks of food energy to each one calorie of fuel energy with pain. But I 'm now going to tell you how to invested." By my calculation, that's a 1200-toend America's dependence on foreign oil, 1 efficiency advantage.

T hat's not counting the drinking water that a According to a report from the American 1968 Environmental Protection Agency report Society of Agricultural Engineers, "60 calories of petroleum energy must be plowed into the reveals is polluted by livestock meat producsoil to harvest one food calorie from animal tion.

When the rain falls on the feedlots, thousands of tons of excrement are washed into the nearestriver,polluting untold billions of gallons of precious drinking water, often upstream from cities and towns." Okay, so I ruined your appetite a little, but none of us has to become vegetarians to keep us out of war in the Mid East. A 25 percent cutback in meat consumption would eliminate our dependence on foreign oil. In the event of a ground war with Iraq, American casualties alone are estimated to go as high as 100,000.

The choice is yours. ~ K EN CARTER/PIONEER College should have foreseen problems I t's hard to believe that CSUSM officials couldn't foresee the troubles that lay ahead when they contracted Louetto Construction Inc. to work on the new campus.

S TAFF E DITORIAL �8 E XPI j ORI PIONEER/TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1990 Locals, T Kiwis endure ruffian's sport JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER hey call themselves the "Guikha's." The Escondido c lub's name is British, descending from the Himalayan Tribesmen that comprise a reputable company in the British Army. Their game, however, is played not only in Britain, but is one of the top amateur sports in France, Wales, New Zealand, Australia, and the United States. The Gurkha's are only one team out of about 20 in Southern California that play the game of Rugby. Ray Steel, the Escondido Rugby Football Club director, said that Rugby is a misunderstood game. Some even say i t's hard to differentiate it from Australian Rules Football and a street brawl. He explained that Rugby originated from soccer, when a disenchanted player decided to change the rules. "He started running with the ball in his arms," said Steel, "and the other guys d idn't like that so they tackled him. "And that's how Rugby got started." he object of Rugby is similar to most field games: get the ball over the goal line. In this fast-paced game, however, there is no stopping. There is a moving line of scrimmage, established by the ball carrier. Because players cannot go in front of this line of scrimmage, the ball can only be passed laterally or backwards. Yardage is gained by running or kipking the ball. Even though a player is stopped by being tackled, the play doesn't end. Any player from either team can get the ball and continue. Another factor f or the continuous game is that no player can be replaced. The teams enter the field at the start of the game and only leave for a five minute half time break. Each half lasts 4 0 minutes. It w asn't until the 1960s that players were allowed to leave due to injuries. Before, players were required to continue playing regardless of pain. "You can only be replaced by injury," said John Hammond, the Gurkha's coach. "The same players go in and play the entire ' game." A team is allocated two replacements per game for injuries. Goals count as four-points, with the extra point scoring two. Both drop kicks and Penalty Kicks count as three-points. Australia New Zealand Wales America Britain So.

Steel said that Basketball and even Australian and American Football evolved from Rugby. Rugby has a line of scrimmage, forwards, backs, and a similarly shaped ball as football, but Rugby never stops. This continual play i s where Rugby got the impression of a street brawl, but Steel explained that i t's a gentle game. "Soccer is a gentlemen's game, played by ruffians; American Football is a ruffians game, played by ruffians," Steel compared. "Rugby is a ruffians game played by gentleman."

S " A large part of the game is the friends that you meet on your own team and on other teams," he said. "I have a lot of friends in other R ugbyjeams around San Diego. "Being friends doesn't stop us from playing hard on the field, but afterwards we can talk about with the other guys and have a few beers or something. That's a large part of the game." On the Gurkha's recruitment flyers, it promotes friendship and a party after each practice and game. Steel explained that this is a great attribute, and exclusive to Rugby. "In football, especially, y ou're out there to kill the enemy and you certainly d on't want to socialize with them afterwards," Steel said. "In Rugby you can kill the enemy, but the enemy can kill you as well. So the game is not for people who like to go out and stick people.

John Hammond seemed to have a prepared speech as he addressed the Escondido Rugby Football Club with that statement. His confidence d idn't come from preparation, however, it came from experience. Hammond, also known as "Hammy" or "Hamster," i sn't a stranger to the game of Rugby. H e's coached for the last 20 years in a country where Rugby is the national sport: New Zealand. His love for the warm weather of Southern California brought him to Escondido, where h e's been contracted to coach their Rugby team, the Gurkha's. Hammond continued his introductory speech, by saying, " . . . I hate to loose." M ARK HOPKINS/PIONEER A mob of Gurkhas (top) work the ball into play during a "scrum." A player His own team in Temuka, (below) dives for a pass during a recent rugby practice at San Marcos New Zealand, is proof of his desire for excellence. They won Junior High School. last season's championship undefeated. "I always like a challenge," Hammond said. "They had a good season and did everything I showed them." Hammond said that Rugby is played by all ages in New Zealand, "right on down to the 8-year-olds." Hammond himself started playing the game when he was 10-years-old. "When you're a player, you become public property," Hammond said. "The town feels like they own you. "There's a lot of pride being a Rugby player, especially in a smaller community, the closeknit towns." Commitment is a big part of being a player. Although i t's not mandatory, players usually stay in with their original club and the game is passed down through the generations. " That's what makes it so strong," Hammond said.

And harken to my side, for I have something true to confide. Ladies fair and knights of old still engage in joyous revelry at the Camelot Inn in San Marcos. This traditional English pub abounds with olde world spirit and charm. Lively conversations liberally laced with the burr of the Scottish, the lilt of the Irish, or the "real English" of the Britains can be heard around the pub. To keep everyone in good cheer, Camelot has on tap a variety of British beer. Harp, Watney's, Guiness, John Courage, Bass, Newcastle, McEwan's, Blackthorn Cider and Carlsberg flow from the taps. They also have a fine variety of imported beers and Scotch. To ease the hunger pains, Camelot serves food with British names. Dinner takes on an interesting flair when the choice of entrees include: Toad in the Hole, Steak and Kidney Pie, Bangers Beans and Chips, and Cod in Hand. The prices are moderate, from $6.50 for Sheppard's Pie to $12.50 for Prime Rib with Yorkshire Pudding. Friday nights are special true, for the little people come and sing for you. The Sandlewoods perform Irish folk music from 8:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. The entertainment is suitable for the whole family; with people singing along and occasionally dancing a jig. Friday nights are quite popular and, because reservations are not accepted, it is necessary to get there early. Darts are played by amateurs and pros alike. They even have team sports on Monday night. Like every good country pub, Camelot has dart games that are very serious. It has three dart boards and sponsors two dart teams in the National Dart Association's Monday night team competitions. The pub provides house darts for the friendly noncompetition games. Jeff Schwaia, a student from SDSU, and Randy Tate, a teacher from Carlsbad Junior High School, are organizing a dart team to start the new season competition in January. They practice on Tuesday nights and are looking for dart players to join their team, "The Blind Squirrels." Camelot is a place full of smiles, reminiscent of the British Isles. " It's not just the Brit Beer, but the food prepared like w e're used to," said Dr. McClellan, a native from Edinburgh, Scodand, when asked about Camelot Inn. He went on to say, "Camelot is a little bit of B ar R ules Although there is a party atmosphere, the Gurkhas have some rules to follow when they're at the Camelot Inn: NO F INGER-POINTING: The substitute, using an elbow to point, makes everyone look like birds.

"In the senior level, I 've had seven championship wins," he said. " I've had a couple others at a lower level too." Hammond's United States counterpart, the Gurkha's, i sn't too far from what he l eft "There's a good core of dedicated players who will learn and improve their game," Hammond said. Playing with the "All American" members, Hammond stressed the need for "overseaers" on the Escondido team. "For a team to develop, they need some overseaer back and some overseaer forwards," Hammond said in reference to player positions. ' They know when to take those chances, more than the All Americans." This need is filled by the c lub's director, Ray Steel, who is also from New Zealand, and four players, two from Europe and two from South Africa. "That's the way we like i t." In one tournament game, only four foreigners are allowed to play. Hammond's talk certainly sets him off as an overseaer, but his words have more than j ust an accent. There are slang words f or just about everything in Rugby, from All American, referring to the locals; Kiwi's, New Zealand natives; and Palmies, Europeans. Some terms are easy to pick up on, others are harder to define. Another speech characteristic about Hammond is his stuttering when he gets excited. He brought Speaking the language of those who play Rugby is just about as difficult as learning the rules of the game. Here's a guide that might help: ALL AMERICANS: United States natives that play the game well, but lack the born-experience to play Rugby. KIWIS: Native to New Zealand, where Rugby is the national sport. PALMIES: Europeans. Rugby is popular in Wales, Britain and in France. YARKIES: Foreigners that hale from South Africa. OVERSEAERS: All of the above with the exception of All Americans. OLD BOYS: Players fresh out of high school. RUGBY: The ruffian's game played by gentlemen. this up when he first addressed the Gurkha's, and said he uses it to his advantage. "Some players need to hear things more than once, so I accomplish this in one sentence," Hammond said. His contract is ova* in December; his stay here in the States will only last two months due to the Escondido C lub's limited ability to support him. But he says he will be back. If a full time coaching j ob comes up, Hammond said he will be happy to move t o the states permanently. I had been playing for about five, or maybe ten minutes. The players let me get used to the field, my teammates, and the object of the game. After this brief introductory period, I was passed the pigskin ball. And I ran, not because it was the object of the game, but I ran for my life. I was engaged in the game of Rugby. Unlike previous Thrill Seekers, I had entered an adventure that is riddled with cliches like, "Give ' Blood: Play Rugby." This sport has the reputation of looking like a street brawl. But, in the short time I had on the field with the Gurkha's, the team of the Escondido Rugby Football Club, I learned the game is more than just blood and guts. The object is simple: get the ball to the goal. The rules that have to be followed in the attempt of making that score are a bit confusing. In comparison, try teaching American Football to the Japanese. The game is strenuous. In a normal game, play is divided into two, 40-minute halves. The game I played was about 15-minutes long and was a warm-up practice, so there was no tackling (thank God). But in that short period of time, the unfit bones began to hurt and the skins became damp with sweat. I played the left end of the scrimmage line. The player next to me was experienced and a returning member to the club. He attempted to teach me the rules as he contributed a great deal to the action. SEEKERS We were to stay behind the man with the ball. That sounded easy, but the carrier kept moving and would throw it without warning. Rugby i sn't like football. There is a line of scrimmage, but the ball can be thrown to another player at any time. And because your teammates have to stay behind the ball, you can only throw it backwards or sideways. The effect of gaining yardage by running makes for an exciting game. By the time I had become comfortable with the game, it was that time in practice to get into shape. Fitness is a big part of the game. John Hammond, the Gurkha's coach, stresses more fitness than actual game strategies. With the 80-minute nonstop games, however, I can understand his concerns. I joined in with the Gurkha's in their fitness exercises. After all, I was seeking a thrill and I had to experience both the good and the bad. But after an hour of a practice game and exercises, I bowed out and retired to my reporters note pad. I decided to stick to writing and leave the Rugby training to the professionals. With drills that would make a marine sweat, the Gurkha's spent the next half of practice pushing, pulling, stretching, and bringing pain to every muscle in their bodies. The coach ensured them that the pain would lessen and the drills would increase as the preseason comes to a close. The game and fitness is only half of the Rugby sport. The other part comes after the work is completed. The Escondido Club members retire to a local bar, where they get their reputation of having great parties. Despite the bruhaha at that night's gathering, they say the parties after the tournament are more intense. Here, there are the standard party rules. No finger-pointing, drink with your left hand only, no saying "drink," "drank," or "drunk" and so forth. Craig, the only part of his name I could understand, explained more rules associated with Rugbyparties. He said you c an't put your glass down empty and you c an't show your teeth when laughing. Hammond demonstrated this rule when he removed his dentures and laughed. These gatherings bring out the greatest attribute in Rugby: friends. Sportsmanship is almost a requirement and friendship is one of the benefits. This part of the game outweighs the blood and guts p art Rugby is a wear and tear sport, but the training is paid off in fast, exciting games and a collection of "mates."

J ENNY EAGLE/PIONEER P EGGY OSTEBLOH/PIONEER With Christmas just around the corner, authors are taking advantage of the season with new releases. Here, Pioneer reviews the latest books from Fiction to Humor, and gives a few sneak previews. Fiction • Anne Rice, known for her vampire chronicles, released "The Witching Hour" in October. This book follows witchcraft through four centuries, keeping the occult genre for which she is most famous. The story starts out in modern time with arescue at sea. This sets a man and woman out to solve the mystery of her past, which involves ancestry and witches and his unwelcome new ability. The book moves from modern New Orleans and San Francisco to long ago Europe. It twists and turns through good verses evil and life against death. • The long awaited fourth book in the Earth's Children series by Jean Avel has also arrived. ' The Plains of Passage" was long overdue and five years in the making. W e follow Ayla, the heroine introduced in "The Cian of the Cave Bear," and Jondalar as they travel Ice Age Europe. • Jackie Collins has also made a sequel to her books "Chances" and SEE BOOKS/PAGE 13 Southwestern decor permeates Boll Weevil D EBBIE D UFFY and M ICHELLE DUFFY/PIONEER Upon entering Boll Weevil, we are enveloped by the tantalizing smell of hamburgers and french fires. Because we are asked to seat ourselves, we decided to sit at a large, southern-decorated table rather than the many booths lining the walls and windows. As I looked around, I saw white walls decorated with cowboy memorabilia including spurs and saddles. Also decorating the walls were washboards, plows, skulls, and pans. Along the rear wall, separated by a trellis from the dining area, were t wo pool tables. One could play pool for fifty cents a game. Also, a laser disc juke box was ready to play anything from oldies to the most modern of music. Next to the juke box was an old fashioned soda fountain where one could order anything on the menu. Troy, our waiter, introduced us to the most famous item on the menu, O LLEGIATE the half-pound steerburger, served with a condiment tray, which consists of pickles, red onions, relish, jalapeno peppers, Tabasco sauce, salt and pepper, sugar, ketchup, mustards and mustard relish. We ordered the steerburger, milk shakes, french fries and onion rings; however, the menu also included cheeseburgers, bar-b-que burgers, hot O URMET dogs, chicken and fish and chips. Also on the menu were brews and wine. Everything on the menu was available for take-out Neither of us was able to finish our hamburger because of the large portions. The onion rings were delicious and the frenchfrieswere crispy. We truly enjoyed our dinner, and each of us carried doggie bags home. The Boll Weevil we visited is located in Oceanside. There are Boll % Weevils in San Marcos and Escondido, as well as 17 other locations throughout the county. They are open everyday: Sunday through Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Thursday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to midnight W e enjoyed our visit to Boll Weevil and encourage you to visit Boll Weevil to taste for yourself their famous half-pound steerburger. �'Jacob's Ladder' climbs to terrifying heights Through confusing and disturbing images, Adrian Lyne communicates clear ideas about life after death in his latest e ffort 4 Jacob's Ladder/ When we first meet Jacob, he is a New York postal worker coming home from the late shift.

At their Oct. 24 meeting, Task Force members completed a Mission Statement that would set the foundation for the future Associated Students at CSUSM. The statement is the first in a series of projects that would establish a student governmental system. "We are in our second iteration of the drafting of the mission statement for the Associated Students,** said Dean of Student Services Ernest ZomalL Zomalt also serves as chair of the Task Force. "It was a necessary first step before even doing a constitution," said David Hammond, task force member. "But that bit of work (the mission statement) is done.** Task force members sought to write a broad, but firm, foundation for the university of the 21st century. "We have had spirited conversations reflecting the best hopes for the Association,'* said Zomalt. "The task force has done an excellent job in identifying the critical areas which should serve as the foundation for the Associated Students.*' "The gist of statement is to recognize that it*s a world of interdepend- ence and pluralism," said Hammond, a so we made the mission statement as one that would promote pluralism and the recognition of the diversity in the world population. "The mission statement seeks to provide a path that will be relevant to the 21st century. At all times the task force kept close in mind that this school is theCSU flagship for the 21st century. "Hence, we included the normal commitment to student services and extra curricular activities, but a lot of the language is dedicated to the principals of non-discrimination, and supplementing the educational experience to make the student a more sophisticated person. "We sought to reflect the bigger mission of the school." The final Associated Students package would include the completed Mission Statement, a constitution, and guidelines for a student newspaper and a yearbook. The next hurtle for the task force to overcome is to establish a constitution. Becuase the university is being built from the ground up, the students on the task force have the unique opportunity of forming any type of government they wish. "The slate is not completely clean,** said Zomalt at thefirsttask force meeting. "There are certain guidline that must be followed.'* SEE MISSION/PAGE 4 rr—rr C S U S M Students choose Feinstëin Democratic gubernatorial candidate Diane Feinstein was chosen over Republican Pete Wilson, in an unscientific, anonymous pollof Cal State San Marcos students, to win in November's election.

LARRY BOISJOUE/PIONEER Aztec Shops officials are shouting "Aye Caramba," after an Oct. 22 burglary robbed them of watches, calculators and Simpsons paraphernalia. According to a report filed with the Vista Sheriffs Department, the incident occurred sometime between 3p.m. Sunday and 6:50a.m.Monday. The burglar gained entry by shattering the lower east window of the bookstore which services Cal. State San Marcos and San Diego State's North County campus. Bookstore manager Deboran Meeker estimates the cost of items stolen at $1,486.70. A Macintosh SE computer, with an approximate value of $2,000, was left behind along with hundreds of dollars in software. Among the items stolen were $400 in watches, $295 in Cassette recorders, $190 in backpacks, $ 155 in clothing and $90 in stuffed animals. Even though bookstore employees refused official comment, some speculate that the burglar took items that are most easily pawned. Although the computer and software were of greater val ue, they would be more difficult to sell than the items taken. The Simpsons collection, which includes buttons, T-shirts and baseball caps is a high-in-demand line that is easily sold to consumers. Bookstore officials claim that great pains were taken to acquire some the $130 collection. Buttons, with picture of Bart and the Simpson family were meticulously removed from the cardboard placard which held them. Employees commented that it would have been easier for the perpetrator to take the whole placard. I Vista Sheriffs officer A. R. Riley arrived at the scene at 9:40 a.m. and found evidence of a forced entry. Rather than attacking the lock on the front door, the burglar used an unknown tool to break the rear window of the shop. No evidence was reportedly found at the scene to indicate the identity of the crime's perpetrator and, as of yet, no witnesses to the incident have been found. As of press tune there are no suspects in the crime. Officer Riley indicated in his report that the crime may have been committed by more than one person. Riley could not be reached for comment as of press time.. The security firm that patrols the campus, Wells Fargo Security, was not on duty during the time of the incident Meeker filed Grand Theft and .Burglary charges with the Sheriffs Department and indicated in the report that Aztec Shops will prosecute if a suspect is found. Security officials at SDSU, which operates Aztec Shops, said they have no report filed on the theft. �4 NEWS PIONEER/TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 199Q P EOPLE S ite S earch With personal writing, Pioneer's columnists show that they are people just like you.

COURTESY O FSTATELINE CSU —TT M ISSION CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 Sub-committees to the task force are working on a student newspaper, a yearbook, and clubs and organizations. The process in which clubs and organizations could be formed will be included in the constitution. The entire package will be submitted to CSUSM President Bill Stacy and the students for approval. The Mission Statement was derived from two proposed statement submitted by task force members William Christensen and Hammond. Zomalt combined the two proposals and resubmitted them to the committee. At the Oct. 24 meeting, the committee made some further revisions to the statement to finalize it. According to Hammond, the task force holds its meetings in closed sessions. This is because the task force is an evaluation and advisory committee and not a formal governmental body. "We are charged with the expediency to get ideas on the table for President Stacy and students to approve," said Hammond. �NEWS TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1990/PIONEER DISPUTE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 contracted to install a utility tunnel, grade the area and prepare it for future buildings. To help in the task, Louetto has hired subcontractors/such as Poss to do some of the work. Albeit Amado, vice president of Campus Construction and Physical Planning, said in an earlier interview that even minor delays in preparing the site could set off a "major chain reaction" resulting in a setback in the construction of the new campus's buildings. "This stage of work is a critical path for this project," he said. According to a recent article in the Times Advocate, Louetto has a long history of contractual disputes. The article states that, three weeks ago, the firm was fired from a $6.5 million contract to expand the North County Transit District's bus maintenance and refuelling stations in Oceanside. Transit officials claim that the contractor incorrectly installed fuelling tanks at the site. Louetto claims that Transit officials never granted them an extension in the station's building schedule. Louetto also claims that Transit officials never granted them extra time to clean up and remove contaminated soil that was previously undetected, Since 1985, Louetto has been involved in 52 lawsuits with its subcontractors. Most of the suits charge Louetto with failing to pay for work done on jobs in the county. Some of the suits have already been resolved. Although lawsuits between subcontractors and contractors are not uncommon, Ken Lounsbery, vice president and general counsel of Lusardi Construction Co., says the amount of legal activity revolving around Louetto is higher than normal. Amado said the college secured a performance bond on Louetto before work had begun. The bond guarantees that a contractor will complete a project on time. If Louetto does not properly fulfill its duties in a timely manner, then CSUSM can fire the contractor and hire another firm to continue the work. The college has already contacted Louetto's bonding agent, Reliance Insurance of Seattle, to force the dispute with Poss to be resolved. If the dispute is not resolved by Wednesday, the university will consider replacing Louetto. Originally, the college required that the construction firm settle its dispute by Oct.28, but extended the deadline late last week. The deadline was extended until Reliance completes an investigation into Louetto's financial stability. If Louetto does get terminated by the university, the college would then be forced to accepttheservicesof theproject'snext lowest bidder. Louetto acquired the job by bidding $260,00 lower than the next lowest contractor. Building on the $15 million Craven Hall could be set back as a result of the dispute. Earlier this month bids were received on the building, a focal point of the new campus. Construction on the building is scheduled to begin late next month, but Amado says they will be unable to proceed until the grounds are prepared. The dispute marks another setback in a series of delays which have put the construction process to a rocky start.

Our answers may sound too simple, bu it truly is that "prevention is the best medicine." The basis of preventative health care is knowledge (understanding how the way you conduct your life can help or harm you) so that you can make beneficial decisions. You can prevent many accidents and illnesses by making minor lifestyle choices. The greatest risk to the health of college-age persons is unintentional injuries (accidents). They are the leading cause of death and disability. Over 70 percent ere due to motor vehicle accidents, and half of those are related to alcohol abuse. The role that other drugs play is currently unknown, but given the other hazards associated with drug use, it makes sense to abstain from any drug, including alcohol, when driving. One simple tactic that can greatly reduce the chance and severity of injury in an automobile accident is to always wear a safety belt whether you are driving or riding with someone else. Make sure that all required safety equipment in your car is in good working order and obey all traffic laws. If you drive a motorcycle or motor scooter or ride a bicycle, wearing a helmet is highly recommended. Defensive driving orridingis your best protection. Remember, most other vehicles have difficulty seeing you until it is too late, so drive or ride as if you are invisible to other HEALTHNOTES DR. JOEL GRINOLDS vehicles. Most important of all, don't drink and drive or ride. After vehicular accidents (including bicycles), the most common serious injuries involve recreational activities and occupational injuries. Recreational accidents can frequently be prevented by getting proper instruction, using the correct equipment, and using common sense. Most occupational injuries can be prevented with proper training and the use of proper equipment and clothing while working. In future columns, other areas of preventative health will be discussed. If you need further information or have questions regarding good preventative health practices, feel free to stop by or make an appointment at Student Health Services, located across from the University BookStore. Dr. Joel Grinolds is the chief physician for CSUSM and SDSU North County. GRAND OPENING B USINESS H OURS MON-FRI. 7 A.M.-7P.M. SATURDAY 8 A.M.-5 P.M.

OCTOBER 30, 1990 Making millions during America's coming recession Now that the government spokesmen are admitting that we "might be entering" a recession, you can be sure of one thing — we're on the verge of a depression. But cheer up. Just because America's only trade surplus is in IOUs ($15,000 for every man, woman and fetus) doesn't mean you can't make a killing in the marketplace. To make it simpler for you to become one of A merica's newest millionaires, I 've c ompiled a list of products and P I O N E E R STAFF W RITER services that will be in demand during the post-trickle-down 90s. • Incendiary devices and/or arson service — To take advantage of the increasing demand by owners to cash in on commercial and home fire insurance policies during the downturn in business and real estate values. • Shopping cart and cardboard s ales—To provide transportation and lodging for the yuppies who didn't use the first service quickly enough. • Bible and Koran s ales—For the upsurge in fundamentalism that always accompanies an upsurge in unemployment. • Marketing flammable crosses, swastikas, rope, spray p aint—For the crowd whose intolerance won't be satisfied by fundamentalism. • Wrought-iron bar and security alarm sales — For the urbanization of the suburbs. • Liquor store—Provider of America's drug of choice in good times and bad. • Pet food distributor — To provide for the nutritional needs of our growing population of seniors below the poverty line. • Coffin manufacturing—To provide a final resting place for the geometrically increasing number of children who will die of parental abuse, substance abuse, AIDS, suicide and good old-fashioned malnutrition. • Green ink manufacturers — For when President Bush can no longer extort money through the 16th Amendment or sell worthless Treasury Department IOUs to Japan and Germany. He'll crank up the already humming printing presses and spew out enough funny money to wallpaper every city in America with hundred-dollar bills. Of course, since the flow of worthless greenbacks is already occurring, I guess you can ignore my foregoing advice about the businesses. By 1995, at the current accelerating rate of inflation, every American, regardless of profession, will be a millionaire. And, if you're as lucky as the inhabitants of Germany in 1923 or South America in 1990, a shopping cart full of milliondollar bills may just buy you a loaf of bread.

Hence, no bureaucratic process or mandate should disrupt the delivery of knowledge. Course Forgiveness—the means by which a student may retake a course for a better grade—is almost extinct in the California State University system. In fact, San Diego State University is its last refuge, and the movement there is to scale back its application to just one course. At CSU San Marcos, a Course Forgiveness policy has yet to emerge. Arguably, Course Forgiveness is a "pro-Education" contingency, and its abolishment is contrary to the spirit of what education seeks: to propagate knowledge. With Course Forgiveness, a student may retake a course once whenever their grade is originally a C- or worse. Both grades remain on the transcript, but only the later is factored in the student's grade-point average. In the worst abuse of this privilege, an individual contemplating graduate school (and who isn't in this credential-concious era?) could "sand-bag" their GPA by retaking enough courses to essentially rid the average of everything but stellar grades. This potential pariah is prevented by limiting the number of courses that may be forgiven, either overall or by major. Furthermore, the original grade remains on the transcript While the numeric GPA may seem impressive, the means to this triumph will be indelible. Overall, the construction of Course Forgiveness has its own capacity to quell rampant application. Notwithstanding these assurances, Course Forgiveness has a very positive attribute: it promotes learning. For most of us, the facts of life preclude s tellar p erformance in every subject. Sometimes c atastrophe strikes, and our school work is P I O N E E R O P I N I O N E DITOR n e g l e c t e d . Othertimesthe subject is not to our liking, so resistance to learnin g is {»resent. In a rare instance, the teacher is lousy, so comprehension—much less enthusiasm—is stifled. The list goes on. Without Course Forgiveness, the unfortunate recipient of aCor worse grade is condemned to write-off the experience as frustrating and futile. The subject will likely never be approached again, and education is the ultimate looser. On the other hand, the opportunity to repeat the course—if only out of the motivation to improve the grade—will result in a new, hopefully more successful exposure. In this scenario, the student and education are both winners. I urge the administration of CSU San Marcos to adopt a policy of Course Forgiveness. Otherwise, this will become an idea buried l>y the impetus to do what is easiest, instead of what is right. ^ DAVID HAMMOND �L etters t o t he E ditor President endorses Proposition 143 P IONEER 250-2 S.

GROUCHO M ARX On the Nov. 6 ballot, there is a measure that will have a profound impact on the future direction of higher education in California. Proposition 143, the Higher Education Facilities Bond Act of November 1990 will provide $450 million for capital outlay projects at the California State University, the University of California and the California Community Colleges. This is a particularly crucial turning point in California. We are faced with a population explosion very much like the one experienced after World War II. California's population growth soon will show up on our campuses. More than 1.6 million new pupils are expected to enroll in the public schools in the next decade, ensuring a continual flow into the state's postsecondary institutions. These students will need the libraries, laboratories, classrooms, and equipment that will be made available if Proposition 143 is passed by the voters. The bond act also will help higher education keep pace with technological advances and improve the campus environment with funds for seismic safety and energy conservation. Proposition 143 means jobs for workers to construct and remodel facilities, and for faculty and staff to teach and assist CSU students. In the long run, the state's economy will strengthen by the bond as it will provide an educated workforce for business and industry. It is estimated that 65 percent of the new jobs created in California in the next five years will require some college education. Here at CSU, San Marcos, the newest state university of the CSU system, and the only state university being built from scratch in the United States, several projects will be funded by Proposition 143. They are: • equipment for Academic Building I • equipment for initial facility - library book acquisition, part II • preliminary plans for the library, Phase I • preliminary plans, working drawings for the infrastructure/site development II • preliminary plans for the academic complex II We are asking the voters to consider the future as they vote on Nov. 6, and in particular, to continue their commitment to higher education — a commitment that literally founded CSU, San Marcos one year ago.

I would like to offer a different point of view. I 'd like to relate the experience of my effort to "get involved." To get the Task Force rolling, Dean Zomalt scheduled two general meetings, one at 12:30 p.m. and another at 7 p.m. I have a class at 12:30, so I attended the 7 p.m. meeting. At this general meeting, I was informed that there would be an organizing conference the following Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. This time and date had been decided at the earlier meeting, and those of us at the evening meeting had no voice in the decision. This second conference would be for the purpose of deciding permanent meeting schedules for the committees that would be formed. Because of my 12:30 p.m. class, I was unable to attend the conference. As a result, I had no voice or choice in determining a permanent meeting schedule for the yearbook committee to which I was assigned. I later learned from Barbara Pendleton, also on the yearbook committee, that only two students out of five on this committee were in fact able to attend the conference, and these two students decided on Tuesdays at 12:30 p.m.! I explained my schedule problems to Barbara, and asked her to help me communicate this to the committee. I also complained about die scheduling to Dean Zomalt's secretary, Linda Leiter. Ms. Leiter offered to try to help me, but did not call me back to follow up. Ultimately, I was unable to attend the yearbook committee's first meeting this past October 9, when, according to Barbara, they B ILL STACY/CSUSM PRESIDENT elected a chair, discussed goals, and assigned tasks to members. No one from the committee called to include me in responsibilities, or even fill me in. Hey, I'm willing to miss any T.V. show, and even my personal family time!

S HABEN WAHL/ESCONDIDQ Students do have a vote at state level In response to Mr. William Lott's letter in the Oct. 16,1990 issue, I would like to correct his statement that, "Students are not voting members of the Board of Trustees." Scott Vick, currently a student at CSU, Fresno, is serving the second year of his twoyear appointment as a member of the Board of Trustees. Mr. Vick serves on committees, attends Board meetings and is a voting member of the Board. I had the pleasure of meeting Scott when he attended the groundbreaking ceremonies at CSUSM. He is a dynamic role model for CSU students as an involved student leader who was appointed by the governor to represent students on the Board of Trustees. As a member of the Student Governance Task Force, and the parent of a CSUSM student, I am proud and excited that students, faculty and administrators are sitting down together to work as a team to create our university: We are committed to creating a fair, decent community that encourages students, as well as faculty, staff and administrators, to maximize their potential. The University Mission Statement wasn't written as a piece of advertising hype—we believe in the goals and values it contains. J UDITH H . T AYLOR/ DIRECTOR, PERSONNEL SERVICES �Glancing through this year's California General Election Ballot Pamphlet is a long arduous process. Propositions that negate others abound in this complicated labyrinth of social responsibility. To help comfort you in your confusion, Pioneer is offering its picksfor November9s General Election issues. P ROPOSITIONS H14 - Local Hospital Districts. NO - Since hospitals could have shareholder interest in other health-care corporations, the spirit of a free market economy is violated. Ballot shows voters' changing view One must be careful when perusing through this November's California General Election Ballot This voluminous compilation of propositions contains Bills that contradict or negate other propositions. This ballot does reflect a growing concern for environmental issues and addresses the need to get "tough on crime," but don't be fooled by smokescreens. Some initiatives like "Big Green" are too broad to do "anything but tie taxpayers' money up in a web of bureaucracy. Initiatives like Prop. 132 narrow the scope sufficiently to a point where taxpayers can readily see the benefits and costs of the Bill. Other initiatives, like Props. 133 and 149 have such good ideas, but with exorbitant price tags to the public. The best advice to voters is to sit down for a few hours and read the two books outlining November's ballot propositions. Look not only at the source of funding for these Bills, look to see who is in favor and who is against them. From there make up your own minds. The mostdifficultchoiceon this ballot willbe for the Office of Governor. H 2 5 - Motor Vehicle Fuels Tax. fiail Transit Funding.

Both Wilson and Feinstein choose to sling insults rather than face the issues facing this state. Neither candidate is particularly impressive or solid. The best choice for voters is to write in a more competent candidate than the two principal ones presented to them. As Americans we are not pigeonholed into voting for just the Republican Party or the Democratic Party. We have the opportunity to choose whomever we see as the best candidate. Don't vote for Wilson or Feinstein because you want to choose the lesser of two evils. Choose your candidate because you want to elect a representative of the greater good. In all probability, either Feinstein or Wilson will take the office, but your write-in vote will send the message to future politicians that you, as voters, are more interested in the issues than party rhetoric.

The Winchester House, in San Jose, is the only other building in the state to have suclf a distinction. There are only 30 "ghost houses" in the nation listed with the Department of Commerce. According to the Historical Shrine Foundation, the ghosts Thomas and Anna Whaley still roam the halls of the building, they had never died. Since the mansion was the public in 1960 as a museum, June Reading has seen and evidence supporting the claim ghosts exist in the Whaley As director of the museum, has become a true believer in ghosts. She has volumes of stories to of spirit activity in the historical monument "I was with a visitor to the museum when I saw Thomas Whaley on the landing upstairs," she claims. "He was a small-sized man wearing a topcoat, pantaloons and a wide-brimmed hat. He was turned away. "He looked solid, but the figure faded away. One of the (employees of the house) told me that he didn't come through the front door. We then heard a m an's laughter from the rooms upstairs." Reading has not only seen and heard the visions, she has smelled them as well. One year, before the holidays, Reading and a class of school children smelled the scent of apples cooking from the kitchen. She says she frequently smells the cigar of Thomas Whaley in the main hallway. "Most of what they do is very pleasant," states Reading. " It's as though the family is just going about its daily routine." Candy Brabent, who works as a guide in the house says she too has noticed indications of activity from another dimension. According to Brabent, a music box in the house plays without provocation. She says she frequently hears the piano and other instruments, such as the museum's antique mandolins, start playing by themselves. "Sometimes you actually feel someone is there," cites Brabent. Thomas and Anna Whaley are not the only spirits to roam the house's rooms. In January of 1852, Yankee Jim Robinson was hanged on the plot of land that was later to hold the Whaley~House. attempting to steal the $6,500 schooner PLUTUS, as Thomas Whaley watched on. According to Reading, Yankee Jim can be heard pacing in the upstairs sitting room. She says the sound of his footsteps resounds through the building every s ix, months. "I haven't heard him in a while. I t's about time for him to come around again," she says. A fourth spirit, named Washburn also roams the house. Washburn was a playmate of the Whaley children who met her tragic death when she struck a low-hanging clothesline in the back yard. She died of her injuries in the arms of Thomas Whaley. Washburn is mostly seen by children who visit the museum. Even the family dog, Dolly Varden, has been heard running through the hallways of the house. Reading says that the hauntings are not always pleasant, however. Once, while showing a visitor an antique doll, Reading says the hallways became very dark and q uiet "We heard the baritone laugh of a man coming from the hall. We thought someone was watching us," she says. "The person I was showing the doll to just looked at me and said, ' Let's get out of h ere.'" Other times windows will be mysteriously held open and the crystals of the chandelier will rattle. According to Reading, actual physical evidence exists to support the claim that the house is haunted. Parapsychologist Dorine Turner makes frequent trips to the house to photograph the specters with her camera. These pictures are on display in the museum. Turner's camera acts as a medium to the spirits of the house says Reading. Even though the naked eye might not pick up ghostly images, they mysteriously appear on the film when it is developed. "The pictures show energy known as ectoplasmic tubes, or a vapor trail of light," says Reading. "If enough of these tubes come together, they look like figures. We had one of them enlarged and it looked like a brilliant nucleus."

For the Montana Mounted Police, it was important for them to find him before the coming storm dropped its snow on the area. Despite the numerous clues they had, the police were unable to find the lost hunter. But all their resources were not exhausted. The Montana Police contacted Nancy Kelling, a professional psychic. Kelling, now a resident of Carlsbad, worked with the Montana Mounted Police and their Helicopter Patrols for about two weeks in locating lost or missing hunters. She retells one incident. "I worked with the Montana Mounted police and helped them psychically to draw a map to help them find a hunter." Kelling started. Kelling said she was able to pick up energy emitted from the hunter's body. "What I do, is go into the energy field or the imprint of the hunter," she said. Kelling was able to draw in her mind a map using this energy that can tell more than a normal, two dimensional map. "Until I did that particular thing, I didn't realize that a psychic map would have more detail on it than a geographic map. "I went to that space psychically and you pick up his attitude and mood, like he was angry with the other hunters, so he decided to leave. "He starts walking to the right of the truck, going straight ahead and then veering backwards. "And then I was getting the slant of the hill. The direction that he goes to the right and then there was the wind and a storm. There was a steep drop off and a camp fire to the l eft "There weren't hunters at that moment but there was tracks from three hunters, possibly four . .. and a deer or a larger animal." Kelling not only picked up details that are specific to that area at that moment, but also emotions. "I not only get the direction he was going in, and his emotion, which has a lot to do with how fast he will travel, but I also got imprints of other people." Kelling used this psychic map to assist the Montana Police in finding the lost hunter. "I was able to tell them to look for a campfire that's out or look for tracks from hunters;" Kelling said. EVEN BEFORE HALLOWEEN OR THANKSGIVING GETS HERE, IT'S TIME TO START THINKING ABOUT CHRISTMAS NOW .. . AND SAN MARCOS BICYCLE HAS A 3 MONTHS LAYAWAYPLAN THAT'S JUST RIGHT FOR YOU! NANCY KELLING/PSYCHIC "I was able to get all kinds of signs or parts of a map that a natural map wouldn't have on i t "I did get that feedback that I had things more psychically preciser or in their proper order that the map would have never shown them." Kelling's map was correct, but in this particular case, her work was her own downfall. "The sad thing is the sheriff would not go in on the word of a psychic," Kelling explained. "It kept coming in as 'You have to find him before the snow falls' because he wasn't going to live through the snow fall. "We did find him, but he was no longer alive." This wasn't the only case in which Kelling has used her psychic ability to help law enforcement officials. She also assisted in the capture of two arsonists. " I've worked with the arson department on more than one series of arsons," she said. "I picked up what his pattern was and what signs or symbols in terms of directions in order to catch him." Since Kelling moved to Carlsbad a few years ago, she has been working with local police and FBI agents in the same fashion. Because those cases are not solved as of yet, she could not mention any of the factors involved. She also works as a private consultant. In these sessions, Kelling gives advice from relationships, jobs, past experiences, how someone presents themselves and even some predictions. "A psychic reading is just another perspective or overview," she said. "It just gives you other ways to perceive a situation." Kelling will be giving a free lecture dealing with the psychic field today at the Palomar College Community Theattfe at 10 a .nr.'

The bullet should have shattered Morgan's skull. The next fact that May discovered was that Morgan's body was found with her head towards the top of the stairs, and her feet towards the bottorti. This is the way bodies are placed, not how people fall after shooting themselves. Morgan would have fallen down the stairs, not up. May returned to room 3312 alone on Thanksgivin; Day, 1989. He ordered Thanksgiving dinner for two to make up for the holiday Kate never had in 1892. May said he felt Morgan's presence that day and got a feeling that Morgan was finally at peace, knowing the truth about her death was finally discovered. But May's research hasn't unearthed the mystery behind the Hotel Del's other "haunted room," 3502. It's believed that the hotel's original owner, Elisha Babcock kept his mistress in 3502 one night, where she unexpectedly died. Babcock disposed of her body somewhere on the grounds of the hotel.

But I wasn't so fortunate as a secret service agent who in 1983 was at the hotel with then Vice President George Bush. The agent was put in room 3502. Not knowing he was put in a haunted room, he laid in his bed and happened to be watching a television show about the very room he was staying in.

About three years prior to this incident, a man checked in to the room and later complained about a room on the sixth floor above 3502. The man claimed to be bothered during the night by someone walking around all evenig in the room above his. The hotel employee told the man there is no sixth floor, only five. I was greeting by two phone calls from someone out to spook me (the hotel said they feel there are pranksters who call the "haunted room" to scare the occupants). After hearing about attorney Alan May's reports, I asked if I could stay the night in room 3312.

One room has the head of a woman, dctatched from her body, screaming, "Where's my body?" The skit sends spine-tingling chills through the onlooker. During the duration of the tour, an immense cast of wandering scaries roams the serpentine halls, adding an unpredictable element of surprise around every bend. The best part about the attraction is the eerie atmosphere created in the maze's hallways. Because the labyrinth's walls are not permanent, they can be altered to create any setting that fits the proprietor's demonic desires. One passage is lined with doors that open and close at random as if possessed by an evil entity. In another part of the maze, travelers are forced to walk between rows of hanging clothes, well aware that the beasts of the closet could leap out on a whim.

Visitors of the maze will find a creepy assortment of ghoulies, ghosties, long-legged beasties and things that go bump in the night. These creatures have taken residence in the otherwise meek Maze Graze attraction of the Fun Center. The maze itself is a perfect conduit for ghouls and goblins to execute theirfiendishacts. With its twisting tunnels and outdoor atmosphere, the Monster Maze is a world detached from the dimensions of normality. What makes this world so believable are the terrifyingly original apparitions that spring out around each turn. As visitors enter the maze, they are confronted with a talking head which warns them of the horrors they are about to see. The maze's proprietors use technology similar to that used in Disneyland's Haunted Mansion, to make the ghostly head come to life. A real talking head is projected onto a model head, creating an eerily animated illusion. Inside, the maze contains a series of original, terrifying horror vignettes. Each room in the maze has its own frightening tale to tell. In one such room, an old hag sits placidly in her rocking chair while stabbing a bloody doll with a seveninch knife.

These screaming sounds can even be heard in the line outside the attraction itself. A mist floats through one section of hallways, adding obstructed vision to the other muddled senses. The best atmospheric element of the Monster Maze is the graveyard setting in the midst of the twisting passages. Red lights illuminate the fountain and tombstones spring up like dead weeds from the parched earth. The graveyard is the most haunting element of the attraction because of its alarming authenticity. At the maze's end, visitors confront Spidora, a large black arachnid with a human head. Spidora uses the same technological magic as the head at the maze's beginning. The talking spiderwoman actually interacts with visitors to add a unique finishing touch to the attraction. The Monster Maze is a great place to take a date with a taste for the macabre. It is also a great way to scare the Halloween-hypers from your wound-up kids. At $5 admission per person, the Monster Maze gives more screams for the dollar than any other localarea haunted houses.

In 1920, electricity was added to the house. While the electrician was putting wiring though the two-foot adobe walls he ran across an aged skeleton. Not knowing what to do about the problem, he continued with his wiring and plastered up the wall leaving the skeletal remains. The bones are still residing in the wall of the house. The end bedroom, part of the original adobe, is associated with two separate ghosts. The spirit of Julian Chavez, riding on his white stallion, and the famed Lady in White. "I heard the hoofbeats but didn't see the ghost," said Clair Schwab, volunteer docent director. She went on to explain about the night she waited for the ghost of Chavez. "You think it will happen. You hope it will happen. When you do hear it your stomach gets woozy and you get a tingly feeling down your back."

The sheriff, so tickled at the story, told Couts that he was not really a sheriff but Julian Chavez, the red bandit, and that he had actually come to steal the horse. He assured Couts because of his kindness that he would not have to worry about his horses again. The story goes on to tell of a later period in Couts life, when he was in desperate need of cowboys for a roundup, three vaqueros showed up at his door step offering their services.

However, these doors are locked and will remain that way for the first part of the show. The lock-up might be to keep something, or someone, o ut But this time, it is to keep everyone in as the theater magic and musical hypnotism of Andrew Llyod Webber transports the audience from the Los Angeles stage to the Paris Opera House, and to the realm of the Phantom of the Opera. 'The Phantom of the Opera' is a basic love story between beauty and beast The show's success has thrived on this basis from opening night However, since the lead character of the Phantom was changed earlier this year, the feel of the show has lost its strong love appeal and has transformed into a true horror story. Robert Guillaume stars as the Phantom in Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical The Phantom of the Opera.' Robert Guillaume replaces Michael Crawford as the Paris opera ghost, a role which Crawford developed since his premier in the London cast. It was Crawford's elegant movements and rich voice which made the heart pound with joy and sorrow. Guillaume's development of the phantom is quite different Guillaume is most noted for his comedic role in 'Benson,' but this show is no comedy. Guillaume transcends his role as the cocky butler with an interpretation different from Crawford's. His phantom is less "lovey-dovey" and more brooding and cynical. Guillaume plays a character which adopts the opera house as his own home. He requires a salary from the managers for using his opera house and reserves himself a balcony box for every show. The show begins as new, unbelieving managers arrive and the Phantom's tutoring of lead actress Christine Daa6 is made known. The opera ghost tries to keep control of his opera house SEE OPERA/PAGE 17 'Memphis Belle' flies high with perfected strategies Traveling back to family roots in 'Avalon' If you could capture the esscnce of the best war films from the 30s and 40s, combine it with 11 hot young actors, and mix in a famous plane with a history, you'd have all the ingredients for 'Memphis Belle.' The story line is simple, therefore strong and poignant. Eleven guys have made 24 daytime bombing runs over France and Germany during World War II and returned to home base in England unscathed, while their fellow fliers are being shot down left and right. The boys and their plane, the 'Memphis Belle,' have one more mission to accomplish and it's the most dangerous yet, right into the heart of Germany. What makes you care whether these guys make it back or not is the character studies of each man, explored in the few days before their last mission. Matthew Modine is the fiy-by-thc-book, goody-two-shoes captain who's looking to return to his furniture business and his Belle from iti Zì£3Y 101 Memphis, whom he named the plane after. The rest of the officers consist of Tate Donovan as the co-pilot who wants to be a hero; Bill Zane as a bombardier who fudged about his stint in medical school; and DB Sweeney who convinces himself that he's not going to make it back alive. The rest of the crew includes Reed Diamond, Sean Austin, Courtney Gaines, Neil Giuntoli, Harry Connick, J r. (proving himself to be as able an actor as a singer), and Eric Stoltz who creates yet another memorable character. The script is so well-organized and tight that the inner working and comraderie of the crew drags you into the story. Each and every one of the characters is well-developed with his own individual idiosyncrasies and moments of strength. Visually, the movie convincingly communicates the time period. Unfortunately, you never get the real sense of the size of the plane since the parameters of WENDY WILLIAMS PIONEER F ILM CRITIC the movie involve jumping from one place to another inside. However, with its strong cast and script, 'Memphis Belle' should attract some attention from the members of the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences when it comes time to vote for the 1990 Academy Awards. Out of the 11 strong choices, it will be interesting to see which performers arc chosen for acting nominations. In 'Avalon,' director and writer Barry Levinson takes us back to our roots—back to when our ancestors first came to America.

ROOTS O PERA CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16 Box,' portrays Sam Krinchinsky, the patriarch of the clan. He came to Baltimore in 1914 on July 4 and becomes a wallpaper hanger for his four brothers. ^ The family flourishes with business success, marriages and children, but changes slowly start to fragment - them. • -jI Sam's son Jules marries and changes his name to Kay. Jules and his cousin Izzy Kirk (who also changes his last name) become partners in an appliances business. With the success of the business, Jules moves his family, including his father to the suburbs, away from the rest of the Krinchinsky clan. Distance, time and television all play a part in causing the separations that become too big to bridge. Levinson based his story loosely on his own family. He gets his point across, but not as strongly as he could have. He has a penchant for bizarre camera angles in this film. Levinson photographs most of Sam's memory sequences in a stilted time speed which lends a symbolism to their re-telling. However, he also uses annoying tracking shots in certain scenes that are distracting and never give the audience anything to focus on. The storyline also starts and stops, neverflowingevenly to the conclusion. Still, with such a fabulous cast, including Mueller-Stahl, Joan Plowright, Aidan Quinn, Elizabeth Perkinsand young Elijah Wood, how could a director go wrong? He also couldn't go wrong on the overall theme of the movie which revealsapieceof Americana to, which we can all relate. As the Phantom, Robert Guillaume hypnotizes Christine, played by Dale Kristien, with his solo "The Music of the Night." and gain the love of Christine. His love for Christine isn' t possible due to the horrifying disfigurement that makes him the beast. The addition of a third character, Raul, also ruins the dreams of the Phantom, as Raul i s the man to win the heart of Christine. Guillaume's phantom gets no sorrow from the audience arid never gains the love of Christine. What he does get from both parties, however, is fear. In trying to maintain the power which he has savored as the opera's phantom, Guillaume' s character casts spells, curses, kidnaps and even kills throughout the show. Combine his heavy, staccato baritone voice with his abrupt, shallow movements and you have a very sinister man. Guillaume stands in the spotlight several times and gains theaudience's praise for his singing and performance; he is still the star of the show. But the audience still cannot sympathize with his character as they did with Crawford. The sympathy is directed to his victims: Christine, Raul and the cast of the opera house. Dale Kristien and Reece Holland are two of the original cast members and use their experience and familiarity with their roles to draw the audience's compassion. Of course, the show couldn't maintain its success without the support of the special effects. The stage transforms from scene to scene with ease and astonishment At one point, the stage even erupts with fire. The score by Webber is not hindered by the cast change, but it has evolved into another dimension of stage performances. T he Phantom of the Opera' has enjoyed a long run in Los Angeles and will continue to haunt audiences for years to come. �18 CALEN2AR DON P EDRO T ALENT S HOW N IGHT: A Showcase for musicians and singers every Friday and Saturday 18TH ANNUAL H ALLOWEEN at Can-Cun Restaurant, Rancho H UNT: Ghouls, ghosts and goblins Bernardo. 485-8282 will be roaming the passages as E LVIR A : The Mistress of the Dark Knott's Berry Farm is transformed will Headline a "Rock V Horror" into a ghost town through Oct. 31. revue each evening at Knott's Berry Elvira, the Mistress of the Dark, will Farm, Buena Park.

The package offered in the deal would include for creating a student newsroom « Hie computers, equipment, and software for the proposed computer lab have a letali value of $80,000 to $106,000. Times Advocate officials could not give a more specific price due to fluctuatior the computer market 'That price does not include the expertise that m required to coordinate tMe installation and link it to theTimes Advocate," Armstrong TIMES ADVOCATE What the Times Advocate will be offering Cal State San Marcos: • Astate-of-the-art newsroom valued at $80,000 to $100,000. The newsroom's system will be linked to the Times Advocate's system by a communication line. • An internship program that would give student journalists the opportunity to work at a "real life" newspaper. • Distribution of the university newspaper. • A possible job placement networking with the Times Advocate and its properties. CSUSM What Cal State San Marcos is requested to offer in return: • Paid circulation of the Times Advocate on the Cal State San Marocs campus. The Times Advocate will be packaged with the university newspaper. • Printing of the university newspaper at the Times Advocate facility. • Access to a pool of talented students and CSUSM faculty. SOURCE: Times Advocate Proposal Mittman said. "It's stuff that has proven effective/' The proposed system would link the two newspapers together through phonedata lines. This link would be uniquely exclusive to the San Maims university newspaper. "You can't get any better (system) at any other college newspaper," said Mittman. Mittman cited theconnections with the Times Advocate's printing facility as a major advantage for acoliege newspaper. According to Armstrong, the cost for the linebetweenthecòQegeandthe^N^^ newspaper is about $500 a month. The lege would be «^sponsible ' fir the cost óf keeping the line open. "If you think about the alternatives of a deliveiy service, it (the cost of the liiik) is eheap/Vhesàid.

"We haven't, arty actual efforts into the business efforts of the deal " said Stacy. If accepted, Armstrong said the newsroom system may not be initially installed in its entirety, "We'll do what is necessary to launch this operation," he said, Armstrong stated hiscompany will meet its obligations as outlined to the proposal, and pointed out die actual installation process is still to be determined. "The system we proposed is sufficient to supporta weekly newspaper,0 said Armstrong. Ralph Mittman, computer coordinator for the Times Advocate, explained that the newspaper is transfening their current operations to a Macintosh system* l&saiif the system the ment on the Times Advocate's view of imTimes Advocate is installing in their newsroom would be the same system proposed for CSUSM. v - ; ; $ tI "It is the most sophisticated implementation of hardware and software there Is," said Armstrong at the council meeting. In exchange for the newsroom, the university newspaper would be packagedwith or inside the Times Advocate. "What we want in return for this is paid circulation on campos," said Armstrong. The university newspaper/Time^ Advocate package would be available to students at die newsstands for no cost at the point of distribution.

Student starts campus club Fulfilling the college's goal to obtain an international perspective, 11 students atCal State San Marcos have banded together to form Rotaract, a club with a mission to "install friendship and mutual understanding between races of the world." Rotaract, a multinational organization under the Rotary club, can be found in over 100 countries with ova* 4,000 charters, says Nnambdi Nnoli, the club's organizer. Nnoli, a CSUSM student, is a native of Nigeria who came to America to live with his family. He says in Nigeria alone there are 232 Rotaract charters. The United States only has 91-95 Rotaract charters. "Rotaract is very big and powerful in Nigeria," Nnoli says. He adds that the current chairman of Rotary International is now trying establish more clubs in the U.S. He says Rotary organs in Nigeria helped to raise funds for polio vaccinations and other public services. The club could bring career speakers to campus while establishing scholarships and participating in community projects, says Nnoli. In the past three meetings, Rotaract members discussed career opportunities and gave career presentations. Even though the college has not as Nnambdi Nnoli, points to a flyer asking for members to his newly-formed Rotaract club. Nnoli says his club will promote international awareness. of yet formally accepted the club, Nnoli says he is receiving verbal encouragement from Sandy Kuchler, assistant to the dean of Student Services. Before being formally received by the college, Rotaract must draw up a formal constitution and outline its goals. With its establishment could còme funding from the university. "We need funding to get supplies, get career sfjgpkers, start community projects and start scholarships," says Nnoli. "We need to be functional and resourceful." Even though the club has formally participated in meetings, Nnoli says they need greater membership to be formally accepted as a Rotaract charter by the Rotary Club. Nnoli points out the club needs from IS to 25 members to be formally recognized as a charter.

When she came to Cal State San Marcos in September of 1989, Marion Reid was faced with the immense task of starting a college research library, that would grow well into the next century. It is a chore of Herculean proportions. Choosing volumes needed for an academic core is an arduous, complicated process. 'We not only want to provide a good core, but buy informational services from other places,"Reid says. To help begin the process of selecting a solid foundation of volumes for an academic core, Reid turned to the work of Melvin J. Voigt. Voigt was instrumental in establishing the libraries at the University of California at Irvine, Santa Cruz and San Diego. The Association of College Research Libraries refined and published Voigt's findings in a book entitled, "Books for College Libraries." The book lists the top 50,000 volumes needed to start an academic core. Even though the book is in its third printing, Reid says many of the vol- college library opens in 1992. She also says the list does not encompass every academic discipline. According to Reid, some academic disciplines have accreditation agencies that list appropriate books for certain specialities. She says CSUSM will draw from these sources as well as Voigt's findings. Book vendors are also used to secure titles for college library topics. "We're building a profile of how books for a college library should look," says Reid. This year the college budget allots $2.1 million in funding for the acquisition of books for the library. Reid says next year's budget should be a similar amount. "It may sound like a large figure, but it isn't in terms of starting an opening day collection," says Reid. According to Reid, the average cost for a domestic title is $46 per book. Reference books, science and art titles usually run more adds Reid. To help in the process of figuring out how and where to purchase books, the university has selected the services of the Oregon-based Academic Book Center. The 15-year-old com- pany was selected from a group of 11 vendors vying for the job. Earlier this year, the college purchased a 13,000 volume collection from the library of Charles D. Tensley. Tensley was a Professor of Philosophy, English and Chemistry at the University of Illinois. "He was a bookman who collected for substance, not rarity," comments Reid. She considers the$100,000price tag for the books to be a good deal. "If you can get $10 or less for a book, i t's a bargain," she says. Not all of the books in the Tensley collection can be used, however. Some have become too brittle with age to place on the library's shelves. Reid says the college also received a 1,500 to 3,000 volume collection from the library of T. Walter Walbank. Walbank was a professor emeritus at the University of Southern California who collected books on non-American history. The collection was offered to other universities with already established libraries, but was turned down because they already had many of the books contained in the collection.

Another matter of concern for the university is the length of the alliance between the two newspapers. In its proposal, the Times Advocate classified the relationship between themselves and the college as "long term." The deal offers no indication of a future termination date of the alliance. Armstrong said at the council meeting that he holds some concerns that the college might back out of the deal after its implementation. "The only thing we're concerned about is that the relationship would end prematurely," he said. In such a case, according to Armstrong, the college might have to pay the Times Advocate for the cost of the newsroom. University Council members seemed enthused about the proposal, but conceded that the matter needed looking into. L IBRARY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 Until a library opens in 1992, volumes will be held in a storage and processing facility located on campus. Already the facility contains 1,059 boxes of books waiting to be sorted. Reid says the process of building a library will take decades. She speculates that the 400,000-square-foot library in CSUSM's future might contain as many as two million volumes. "Academic libraries traditionally don't stop growing," she says. Apartfromobtaining volumes, Reid is also searching for ways to build an information network with other libraries and services. Already an inter-library loan program has been implemented, allowing students to gain access to books and journals contained in other librar- ies. The college is also looking into a program, offered by the Colorado Alliance ofResearch Libraries, where students can gain indexes to over 10,000research journals. Reid says in January of next year, the service will make the full text of the journals available. Reid is also looking to build an expansive, state-of-the-art data base. Through computers, students will be able to access in minutes, information that could take hours to find. Students will not be geographically excluded from using the library. "Students, who would like to access our data base from home, could call up on the phone," Reid says. CSUSM is currently in the process of seeking librarians to assist Reid in her task. Reid says she hopes the three new librarians will arrive at the college sometime later this year, but sees January of next year as a more realistic date.

A new phrase, "safe sex" has been introduced into our vocabulary. The phrase should actually be "safer sex" because, as in birth control, only abstinence is 100 percent safe. Playing it safe doesn't mean eliminating sexual activity from your life. It means self-respect and respect for your partner, talking about sex and talking honestly about your respective histories. It means knowing how to protect yourself and taking precautions every time. It's what you do, not who you are, that creates a risk for sexually transmitted disease and you can protect yourself by the precautions you take. STDs are spread by infectious microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses and parasites, moving from one person to another. Most travel only in certain body fluids such as blood, semen and vaginal secretions. Very few STDs can be transmitted in saliva or by skin-to-skin contact. Some STDs spread more easily than others. You never become immune to STDs. You can get reinfected and can have more than one STD at that same time. Some STDs show few or no symptoms; many people are infected and spread the microorganisms without knowing it. Since there is no guarantee of "safe sex" outside of sexual abstinence or a mutually monogamous relationship with an uninfected partner, to lessen one's risk reduce the number of sex- CLUB CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 on CSUSM.

Activities that involve direct exposure to a partner's semen, vaginal secretions or blood are more risky. For example, anal intercourse is associated with high risk of HIV infection. Vaginal intercourse can transmit many STDs, including HIV, from a man to a woman or a woman to a man. Oral sex can transmit some other STDs, but is considered moderately risky. Intimate kissing is low-risk and fantasy, touching massage and masturbation generally pose no risk. When using condoms, to be effective they must be Latex, stay in place during sexual activity, not break during use and be removed correctly. Only water-based lubricants should be used since Vaseline and various lotions and oils weaken condoms. Lubricants or condoms that contain the spermicide called nonoxynol-9 provide additional protection against HIV infection. Lastly, sex under the influence of alcohol or drugs, like driving under the influence, is never safe.

But if a journalist is going to earn her bread by covering professional football perhaps she'd better take her blinders off. And I don't just mean in the locker room. Professional football is a thriving multi-billion-dollar e ntertainment industry. It has gained its financial stature for a number of reasons ( few of them pretty C O N T R I B U T I N G WRITER to look at if viewed too closely). But the main one is the symbiotic and often incestuous relationship between professional sports and both print and electronic media. For both the owners and the teams and the network CEOs, the bottom line is the bottom line. That's why you'll never see anyone like Edward R. Murrow reporting on football. If a controversy arises,—at least one that might decrease sales or viewer share — damage containment becomes the name of the game. An expendable player, coach, manager and, once in a red-white-and-blue moon, an owner will be sacrificed on the electronic altar to divert public scrutiny of the sport as a whole. Pete Rose, George Steinbrenner and Jimmy the Greek will be forever thrown up to the public as proof that professional sports won't tolerate gambling, corruption or racism. Just don't look too closely at the miniscule graduation rates of black and white college athletes who've gambled away their chance at an education for a shot at the pros. Football, like any other second-wave industry, feeds on its newspaper's printing, it could very well reap from the university young. It builds its bottom line on the back of its workers. far more profits. With the help of the media, it holds up the Joe Montanas and But the biggest cost to the college could be to the integrity of Walter Paytons as examples of what's possible for future a fledgling journalism department.

K EN C ARTER Times Advocate apple of a deal requires a brighter polishing It's like an apple being dangled before the donkey. As long as the donkey goes for the apple, the apple's owner can get him to do anything he wants. In this case, the apple of a deal the Times Advocate is offering CSUSM is full of worms. What looks like a shiny package (a state-of-the-art newsroom, a dynamic internship program, an unique educational alliance) could really be a rotten illusion. The recent offer by the Times Advocate to CSUSM to form a "state-of-the-art newsroom" looks aesthetically like a generous "gift;" but is, in reality a lucrative business deal from which the North County newspaper stands to profit greatly. The cost to the college for such a "gift" may be paid for both monetarily and with the integrity of a journalistic program. The proposal stipulates that the Times Advocate be distributed on the San Marcos campus, but not free of charge. A mandatory $24-$34 per-student charge for subscriptions to the Times Advocate would be implemented. The "gift" quickly becomes an investment In three years, the Times Advocate would not only break even on their initial $80,000+ investment, they stand to gain substantially from the deal at the University's expense. The anticipated growth of CSUS M gives the Times Advocate an assured subscribership that will grow exponentially with the years.

A THOUGHT; "Instead of feeding the scaps to my old hound, I'll get rid of the dog and eat the scraps myself." M IKE R OYKO/ C HICAGO T RIBUNE The other day I went searching for a new National Cause. Sadly, I came up empty. Our country's latest attempts at stirring up a broad-based political quorum-the War on Drugs and the MidEast Occupation-have fizzled. It's time to admit why America's momentum is staggering, and how wecan regain the greatness that spills from the wake of a worthy and welltuned National Cause. The War on Drugs is the Bush Administration's initial candidate for a viable National Cause. Arguably, Mr. Bush has picked a good target. Solving the drug crises is, after all, a cause for everyone's well being. Furthermore, no one stands to profit monetarily from stopping the contraband trade; just the opposite, obviously. Unfortunately, our government cannot "just say ' no'" withastraightface.Thelegal trades of cigarettes and alcohol are still far greater sources of health destructiveness than illegal drugs. Their duplicitous condemnation-and subsequent use as tax-revenue generators--is justified by the very entrenchment we are told to loathe (remember Prohibition?). Furthermore, the tobacco industry-as an agricultural interest- is actually subsidized with your tax dollars. Rhetoric rings hollow in the face of hypocrisy. How does Uncle Sam expect to convert the estimated millions of middle-American casual drug users into nay-sayers while talking out of both sides of his mouth? Since this is the only "hot" domestic attempt at a National Cause offered by the current Administration, our foreign policy became my next arena to search. While Saddam Hussein is disdained by everyone, few are ready to lose their children for this cause. Only the most myopic fringe of conservatism still endorses the fallacy that American foreign policy is a police-action paving the way to a world of benevolent Democracies. Quite the opposite, the best foreign policy recognizes the impossibility of exporting our DAVID HAMMOND PIONEER OPINION EDITOR sophisticated political process, and merely attempts instead to favorably influence events that impinge on our national interest Hence, never mind that the emirates of Kuwait were reputedly oppressive; they were friendly to the United States. If you still doubt this assessment, just reflect on the bungling, inconsistent, and moralistic bamboozlement of the Jimmy Carter Doctrine. In the case of protecting Kuwait, our "cause" is a steady oil supply and a stable Middle East. Not much to stir God-blessed, patriotic pride over, just good-old pragmatism. Certainly not the makings here of a lasting and historically significant National Cause. Time to ask, then, "What composes a great National Cause?" Firstly to insure its nobility and sturdiness, there can be no governmentoriginated hypocrisy, as isriddlingour War on Drugs. Indeed, a divided house cannot stand. Secondly, patriotism is not created by the National Cause. In fact the relationship is the opposite: many will boldly die to stop Hitler because the ties to democratic preservation are intrinsic. On the other hand, the increasing public perception that we are still too dependent on fossil fuels and foreign oil—despite a plethora of previous crises and warnings—undermines the drive to stop Iraq at any c ost Simply put, we aren't out to stop aggression per se, and when Mr. Bush says we are, his toes had better be crossed.

The populace is a post-Vietnam, post-Watergate,post-S & L scandal generation. Cynicism is sensible, even healthy. Why is the rhetoric coming out of Washington still so pandering?

Likewise, a highly educated general populace is more productive, and that translates to a stronger economy. Inventiveness and ingenuity are thechildren of the stimulated mind.

But Billie Moran looked beneath the fallen leaves to find more valuable gold in the mountain itself. Moran was the first to stake a gold claim in Julian in 1872. Armed with a pickax and a shovel he dug into the mountain, hoping to strike a lucky vein of gold. His legacy (known as the High Peak and Eagle mines) still exists today, although the mines themselves have long been shut down. The mines were closed during World War II after the government proclaimed them "unnecessary industry ."Today they are open to public tours so visitors can see for themselves how prospectors mined the precious element years ago. Contrary to popular belief, gold does not run in copious veins throughout a mountain. It'is not easily spotted or retrieved. Gold deposits are usually found within veins of quartz. According to Harlan Nelson, one of the proprietors of the mine today, only one ounce of gold (about the size of a sugar cube) can be obtained from a full ton of quartz-rich rock. "Few people struck it rich in gold mines," said Nelson. "Most barely made enough to stay alive." The Eagle mine was dug perpendicular to gold veins, with its opening at the foot of the mountain. Using picks and shovels, workers were only able to move five feet per day. Tunnels were dug upward so gravity would assist in clearing debris. When a vein was intersected, miners would then dig a "drift tunnel," a shaft which followed the vein itself, until the vein wasexhausted. Rock extracted from the vein would then be carted out and processed to separate the gold from useless rock. As they moved deeper into the mountain, workers used explosives to burrow further into the earth.

In the days ofMoran, fire blasting was used to bore into the belly of the mountain. To fire blast, miners heated the rock until it was r edhot They then poured cold water onto the rock, causing an explosion. Workers then cleared the debris and continued on. Later homemade dynamite, made from broom handles and gunpowder, was inserted into hand-chiseled holes in the mine's walls. This method was replaced in the early 1900s with the introduction of air drills. To avoid the impact of the blasting, miners created cubby holes, known as jump holes, in the cavernous passageways. After igniting the charge, workers had only a matter of minutes to di ve into the safety of these jump holes in the lightless tunnels. Nelson said that after the Civil War, thousands of prospectors arrived to California to strike it rich. Few found enough gold to fill their teeth. They worked the crowded tunnels of the mines in teams of two to increase production. Rock that contained no gold was used to fill empty space within the mines themselves. This eliminated the extra effort involved with carting the debris to the surface. As the miners bored deeper into the mountain, any kind of vision became impossible. Miners mounted candles on felt hats and carried handheld lanterns to shed light on the black tunnels. "Sounds get amplified in absolute darkness," said Nelson. "First you hear a ringing sound; then you hear your heartbeat; then you can hear the blood rushing through your veins." Nelson said that the breeze blowing into the tunnels from the entrance would blow the candles out; so miners had to feel their ways into the tunnel in absolute darkness until the breeze subsided. The Eagle and High Peak mines together have 11 different mining levels. A main shaft, which delved 450 feet into the earth, connected all the levels. The lower five levels of the mine dig beneath the natural water D ARLA LYNN/PIONEER An ore mill, brought to the area by Cornish tin miners, stands as a monument to the gold mining legacy of North County's past. level of the e§jth and are now completely flooded. Ore would be pulled up the main shaft by an engine-powered hoist in buckets. "Because it was so dark, miners had to develop a system of communication. When it was time to raise the bucket, workers would ring a bell once. Two rings would indicate that the bucket was being lowered," Nelson said. v Ore was then loaded into carts and transported out for separation. Each cart held one complete ton of ore and the miners were able to extract as many as 10 carts of ore a day. With only 10 ounces of gold per day coming from the mines, workers attracted to the task by 'gold fever' found themselves disappointed. "Occasionally ore would be found that contained more gold powder than usual. These finds were called glory holes," Nelson said. After leaving the mountain, the ore was transported to a mill for separation. According to co-proprietor Karl Nelson, the technology for separating gold was brought to the area by Cornish tin miners, who were attracted to the mines by gold fever. The ore was placed into a mill which pulverized the rock into a fine d ust The crushed product was then placed on a copper table. The table was covered with a film of mercury, whiph absorbed the powdered gold. The mercury-gold mixture, or emalgum, was then heated until the mercury evaporated from the solution. Not all the gold could be claimed on the copper table, however. The remainder of the ore was then put on a shaker table. The shaker table separated the remainder of the gold by gravity. The heavier element would settle toward the bottom of the table where it could be easily retrieved. In later years, chemicals wpre used to separate gold from the raw ore. During World War II, the government closed down all gold mines in the United States proclaiming them a nonessential industry to the war effort. Workers moved from mining and refining gold to industries conducive to the war effort. After the war, mine owners found the cost of reopening those mines to be too prohibitive so most were closed down. The process of tunnel-mining for gold no longer exists in the United States. Strip mining has now replaced the ore retrieving process used by prospectors of old. Whereas one mountain constituted a claim in the 1800s, now whole ranges of mountains are leveled in search of gold. "The old-fashioned way was much more environmentally safe than the new way "saidKarl Nelson "but that's progress." Whispering pines, chattering squirrels, and nostalgic atmosphere permeate the Pine Hills Lodge of Julian. The two-story, wooden lodge was built in 1912 by Real Estate tycoons to attract buyers for the adjacent Pine Hills subdivision. Pine Hills Lodge is located just one mile west of Julian on Highway 78 and then 2 1/2 miles south on Pine Hills Road. Its location allows guests easy access to all the happenings around Julian, yet it is far enough away to be able to take full advantage of the rejuvenating serenity that a visit to the mountain demands. Originally the outlying cabins were built as tree houses. Unfortunately, the trees grew but the stairways didn't. The cabins, while not firmly attached to the ground, radiate the warmth and charm one would expect from secluded cabins in tHe woods. There are 12 rboms in five cabins. Some are singles with an old fashioned claw-foot tub, while others are two room suites boasting native stone fireplaces. The lodge itself has six additional rooms. These rooms are available on weekends only, and are Euro- pean style (bath and toilet, down the hall, last door on the left). The rooms are priced from $50 to $75 on the weekdays and $50 to $125 on the weekends. The lodge itself is saturated with rustic charm. From the huge native stonefireplacein the lobby to the slightly shabby leather couches in the western bar, Pine Hills Lodge radiates a quiet, friendly atmosphere. The dining room, which opens on the lobby, and its massive fireplace, has two walls of windows which allow a lovely tree top vista. There is a homey atmosphere not at all like the hustle and bustle of the city's fine restaurants. Hickory Smoked BarbecueBaby Pork Back Ribs are a specialty of the house. The average dinner costs around $ 13. They are also famous for their $11.95 Sunday Brunch with an extensive selection of both breakfast and dinner entrees, salads and fruits. "It's sleepy here during the week but quite chaotic during the weekends," said Dave Goodman, who along with his wife Donna bought the Pine Hills Lodge in 1979. Part of the chaos is caused by Dave himself, because in 1980 he SEE LODGE/PAGE11 KATHY «ULLIVAM/PiONEER Fallen leaves line the path to the rustic Pine Hills Lodge.

The plane's propellor whirs into motion and pushes forward, pulling the non-engined craft into the sky. In no time the glider is exploring the wild, blue yonder with nothing but a cushion of air suspending it in the sky. The thrill seeking experience has begun. Gliding in the Northeast County skies is easy, enjoyable and relatively inexpensive. All that is needed toenjoy this soaring experience is a camera and a strong spirit of adventure. Thrill Seekers found a glider port just 30 miles north of Julian outside the little town of Warner Hot Springs. For $34 a ticket, we sailed for 20 minutes to new heights of adventure. We climbed aboard a glider equipped to handle two passengers. The seats appeared cramped, but were cushioned and comfortable. Nylon straps covering our shoulders and laps held us firmly in place. Our pilot, Lee Rabeneau, had been flying gliders for the past nine years and assured us he knew what he was doing. In its 31 years of operation, the Warner Springs Soaring School has had no aerial accidents. This fact was of little comfort as the glider took off. The initial take off was painless and without drama. We were airborne several seconds before even realizing we were off the ground. This is due, in part, to the silence afforded by a glider. All we could hear was the distant hum SEEKERS of the plane 100 feet in front of us. We ascended to a height of 3,000 feet above ground level before our umbilical with the tow plane was severed. At times we rose at a rate of 800 feet per minute. With every foot of ascension the landscape below blossomed out in a panorama of hills and meadows. As we rose to the release height, we approached "No Name Mountain," a pile of rock and dirt speckled with pines and shrubs. The peak seemed so near to the glider's canopy, we felt as if we could touch its rocky landscape. With a loud "crack" our towiine was released, leaving us to glide on our own. Upon release, the glider was filled with a deafening quiet. Only the faint whistle of air through a canopy vent could be heard. As the glider drifts through the sky, every turbulent bump is amplified. We reached speeds in excess of 70 miles per hour as we circled "No Name Mountain." "Now I'm going to make you weightless," said Rabeneau. He plunged the glider into a steep dive, causing us to momentarily feel the euphoria of weightlessness. The whocp-dee-doog that turn in the stom- ach during such a feat surpass the best drops of the grandest roller coasters. "Now I'm going to make you twice your weight," Rabeneau commented as he banked us into a sudden turn. Our bodies shifted to the side, amplifying the effects of gravity and making us feel squished. During a straight glide, we felt a sense of ease, forgetting that we were floating at 3,000 feet without an engine. Rabeneau said that once he had been as high as 36,000 feet in the air. "If that doesn't make you an addict," he said, "you might as well buy a bowling ball." The 20-minuteride seemed too short as we approached the landing strip. We longed to stay airborne for just a few minutes more. Touchdown was smoother and more effortless than any engine-powered plane could be. We scarcely felt the ground when it was touched by the glider's wheels. Warner Springs Soaring Center offers longer, higherrides for slightly more money; and real thrill seekers can earn their gliding license after 2535 flights. All in all the experience of gliding soars to new heights of adventure. �LODGE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 turned one of the adjoining buildings into a theater. Actually, the theater was originally built in the 1920s as a gym for Jack Dempsey to train for his second fight with GeneTunney. Back in 1980 when Goodman producedhisfirstpioduction, 'Our Town,' he was not only worried about the local talent, but he also worried whether there would be enough of an audience to warrant a year-around, weekend theater. "I was skeptical before the first performance, (so) I rented the theater lighting." He was so impressed with the audience's reaction on that first night that the next day he purchased the permanent lighting. On Oct. 6,1990, Pine Hills Barbecue Dinner Theater opened with its 53rd production. 'Noises Off,' a comedy by Michael Frayn, will run Friday and Saturday nights until the first of the year. The cost is $25. Included in the show is a barbecue dinner of New York Strip Steak, Baby Back Pork Ribs, assorted salad and vegetable dishes, warm Dudly bread,andhome made pork and beans. If you call in advance, you can order baked chicken, seafood of the day or a vegetarian entree. The theater in Pine Trees holds only 96 people, so it is important to call for reservations. "Originally, we only drew people from the San Diego area, but now we are getting quite a few people from Orange and Los Angeles county," said Goodman. He has produced all of the 53 productions and has starred in seven of them. Goodman got his taste for the theater while attending Duke University where he was a producer for the Duke Players. Goodman is also a Wizard fan and he has the largest collection of wizards in the state. The wizards have places of honor above the fireplace and on plate racks and antique furniture around the lobby.

IRWIN/DIBOS (619) 236-8420 �J ULIAN Apples highlight activities during autumn months The quaint, North County city of Julian bristles with activity during the fall months. The month of October is known as Apple Days throughout the Julian vicinity. Here visitors can find apples in every shape and size. The city of Julian has a wide array of gift shops and restaurants which cater to the apple lover in all of us. Visitors to the quaint town should by all means try some good-old fashioned cider and caramel apples during their stay. Probably the best place to delve into the apple culture is the Julian Cider Mill. This little gift/specialty shop not only has freshsqueezed apple cider, it offers honey, jams and nuts worthy of any grandmother's kitchen. The Cider Mill offers some very unusual honeys that sound as tempting as they look. Hawaiian honey, Mesquite honey, Papaya honey, apple honey and even pieces of honey combs fill the tiny shop. A sign outside the door even offers bees for sale. There is homemade fudge in dozens of mouth-watering flavors, and enough candy to keep the dentist industry in prosperity for years to come. Visitors can also watch the process of making apple cider from the inside of the store. Apples are placed in trays, covered and then squished to a pulp before the viewers' eyes. The Cider Mill offers cherry and boysenberry cider as well as the traditional apple flavor. The Cider Mill is located on the main drag of Julian, near Mom's Apple Pie Shop. For an apple pie that is loaded with fresh, tangy apples, Mom's Apple Pie Shop is difficult to match. Mom's is easy tofind— it's the place with the huge, snaking lines. From your place in line you can watch the process Mom's uses in constructing its masterful pies. Even though lines can last as long as 30 minutes, Mom's pies are well worth the wait. Mama's Cafe also serves apple pies to those who don't like long lines. Another prosperous pie place is the Golden Apple Restaurant The Golden Apple sits off the highway toward the entrance to town. For those who like to see Julian from a cushioned seat, carriagescontinually traverse the crowded streets. For $5 per adult, a 15minuteridetakes you around all the crowds to a time before automobiles. The best part about the horse-drawn carriages is that you needn't fret about a parking space. The Julian Country Market offers everything from apple-crafts to cast-iron stoves. Here you can pick up a caramel apple topped with M&Ms or sugar sprinkles. These delectable delights are offered by cart vendors on the market's lower levels. Old-fashioned crafts abound in this forum of arts and crafts. Apples carves of wood range in all shapes and sizes. If you'vealways wanted a genuine cast-iron stove to accent your rustic kitchen, the market has plenty to choose from. An immense variety of potpourris are available to add that scented, old-fashioned touch to any household. The Julian Country Market is located downtown near Mom's Pie Shop. If a caffeine buzz is needed to propel you through the streets of Julian, then you will be delighted with the wide variety of exotic coffees offered at the Mug Shot Cafe. Expresso, cappucino and other coffees are served alongside a tempting menu of freshly made soups. The Mug Shot Cafe is located on the south side of the downtown area. If melodrama is what you seek, then you will enjoy the melodrama performances in the Town Hall. Each Saturday and Sunday the Town Hall puts on an old-time melodrama at 2:30 in the afternoon. During these performances, the audience is encouraged to participate by adding boos and cheers to the characters in the play. The performance itself is filled with costumes and stories reflecting the turn of the century. Shoppers will love the sweater shops found in the downtown area. Julian Sweaters Ltd. offers Pendleton sweaters to keep even the coldest fish warm during the winter months. Located in the southern section of the downtown area, Julian Sweaters has a gorgeous selection of winter wear. Across the street from Julian Sweaters Ltd., is B arbara's on the Hill and the Yarn Company. Barbara's has a beautiful selection of hand-woven sweaters with striking textures and colors. The Yarn Company isfilledwith any kind of yarn needed to make sweaters and weavings. Just east of the downtown area, historians can delight in the Eagle and High Peaks Mine tour. For $6, visitors get an hour-long tour of Billie Moran's nineteenth-century gold mines. The mines' proprietors, Harlan and Karl Nelson, take you on a trip to the days when gold fever ran through the area in epidemic proportions. You will see how gold was extracted and refined at the turn of the century. The tour takes you on a step-by-step trek J O N A T H A N YCfuNG/PIONEER rough the mine shafts themselves, with an historical commentary running throughout i tour by the guide. Outside of the mine shaft is a prospector's museum. Here you can view the treasures found in mines similar to the High Peaks and Eagle mines. Some of the eye-catching treasures can be purchased on the premises. Before entering Julian, be sure to stop at one of the many apple ranches which thrive during the month of October. These apple supermarkets can be found right off the highway just outside of Julian. Meyer Orchards has, in addition to apples, peaches and pears. These fall fruits can be purchased either by the bushel or the bag. The Manzanita Ranch is probably the most popular apple farm, with Dudley's bread offered as an added attraction. For pleasant and rustic lodging, the Pine Hills Lodge is an oasis of relaxation for the nostalgic at heart. Here boarders can stay amongst fallen leaves and frolicking squirrels in a lodge filled with the ambienceof 1912. A stone hearth makes for the perfect place to sip a hot drink and reminisce about old times. Outside of Julian in the town of Santa Ysabel one can find the famous Dudley's Bakery. Sixteen varieties of freshly-baked breads are offered at Dudleys. The bread is so good it is difficult to make it home without munching on the soft bread. Lines to purchase the breads are as long as Mom's Pie Shop, but well worth it. Pastries and coffee can also be bought at Dudley's. Thirty minutes north of Julian, thrillseekers can have a soaring good time at the Warner Hot Springs Soaring Center. Here you can take a twenty-minute ride in a glider for less than $40. The gliderridesare safe and make for an outof-the-ordinary adventure that shouldn't be missed. Passengers areflowntowed in their gliders by a plane and dropped at 3,000 feet, where the engineless plane is on its own. An experienced pilot will take you on a trip into the wild, blue yonder that is unforgettable. The Soaring Center also serves as a pilot training school for those who wish to man the glider controls themselves. Gaining a gliding license is a long process, however, requiring about 30 hours of flight time before the pilot is allowed to go solo. The flights at the Soaring Center are entirely safe. In its 31 -year existence, the center has had no accidents. �TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1990/PIQNEER ACCENT 13 Symphony sets 'electric' year FRED TRACEY/PIONEER New San Diego Symphony Music Director Yoav Talmi has programmed an electic year of music. Students can take advantage of these music programs with a "student rush" offer from the symphony. Students with school I.D. (or other proof of enrollment) can get half-price on all remaining seats one-hour before performances. There are some wonderful programs planned, let* s start at the topof the list of favorite concerts this year by the San Diego Symphony: Gustav Mahler in San Diego? (Not in person - he's dead) Yes! Ever since Talmi "introduced" Mahler to San Diego as a guest conductor in May last year with Mahler's ' Titan" First Symphony, then again in October last year with Mahler's Fifth Symphony, San Diego audiences have become Mahlerarians of some sorts. In the 1990-91 season, Talmi, a noted Mahler interpreter has programmed Mahler's gigantic Second Symphony (Resurrection). This particular Mahler symphony has been winding its way down the coast this year. Performed in the spring by the San Francisco Symphony, it moves down to Los Angeles laster this year with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Our band picks it up April 5-7,1991 with Talmi conducting this monumental and dramatic work for chorus, orchestra, vocal soloists (and even organ!). This is the concert of the year. Next on my list is a concert Nov. 30-Dec. 2 with Talmi at the conducting helm and Ida Levin violin soloist on Medelssohn's Concerto in e minor for Violin and Orchestra. Talmi climaxes the concert with Bruckner's Symphony No. 7 in E Major. The Symphony's Classical Hits series includes an innovative concert highlighting hints of dance in classical music Jan. 5,1991. The program includes dances by Dvorak, Brahms, Copland and Beethoven's dance-like Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op. 92. "P.D.Q. Bach,"akaProfessor Peter Schickele appears in a conceit of his own compositions: Fanfare for Fred (I might like that), Grande Serenade for an awful lot of instruments, Classical Rap, Prelude to Einstein on the Fritz, "Safe" Sextet and the 1712 Overture. If you haven't gathered by now, this music proves that classical music can be funny, in an odd sort of way. This will be a sell-out conceit. P.D.Q. Bach appears with conductor David Itkin Feb. 1 and 2,1991. For the romantics, Talmi conducts a c oncert c entering around Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, and appropriately the concerts are held in collaboration with actors from the Old Globe Theatre. The program features Berlioz's Two Excerpts from the Dramatic Symphony Romeo et Juliette, TchaikovsRy's Romeo and Juliet Overture-Fantasy and Prokofiev's Music for the Ballet "Romeo and Juliet." Leonard Bernstein's serious concert music hasn't been well represented in this area, so the symphony's Principal Guest Conductor Robert Shaw conducts a concert made-up entirely of Bernstein's music March 15-17. The concert includes Symphonic Dances from 'West Side Story,' The Age of Anxiety (with piano soloist Jeffrey Kahane), Two Meditations from Mass and the Chichester Palms. The La Jolla Civic/University Symphony Chorus appears Under the direction of Yoav Talmi, The San Diego Symphony begins its 63rd season. with Shaw and the orchestra. Bruhaha d oesn't cloud d irector's ability It seemed appropriate for new San Diego Symphony Music Director Yoav Talmi to program Verdi's4La Forza del Destino* Overture to open the orchestra's 63rd season earlier this month. 'La Forza del Destino,' which translates to 'The Force of Destiny,' appears to echo the symphony's immediate outlook. Israli conductor Talmi put the icing on the cake for the San Diego Symphony when the orchestra named him music director-designate April last year. Finding an artistic leader for the rebounding orchestra meant stability, and a signal to the community that the orchestra's destiny was well secure for the present Bouncing back from the total financial collapse of four years ago, the orchestra has been rebuilding all areas: artistic to financial. Theorchestra was also faced with regaining the trust and confidence of the San Diego community (the debt of four years ago was much larger than publicly acknowledged by the symphony's "old regime." Since then, a new staff has been engaged and thQ board of directors YOAV TALMI/ revamped). CONDUCTOR Naming a music director was one ot the challenges the symphony had to meet. The other challenge was touted as much as Talmi's engagement: becoming totally debt free (which the orchestra did earlier this year). With millions in donations (in- cluding a $2 million gift from publisher Helen Copley to retire the debt on Symphony Hall which the orchestra acquired a year before the financial collapse. The hall was re-named "Copley Symphony Hall."). Talmi was met with plenty of bruhaha as he began his three-year appointment as music director Oct. 1. There were two speeches made from the stage prior to the Oct. 3 concert, both of them not from Talmi. I wish the symphony's administration would get out of the business of making speeches! There were speeches made last April from the stage announcing Talmi as music director-designate, again, Talmi did not speak. Let's just skip the speeches (a front by symphony administration to SEE TALMI/PAGE 14 �T ALMI CONTINUED FORM PAGE 13 al|ow celebrity donors a few minutes irt the spotlight) and get down to the business of making music. Which is what Talmi and the orchestra does best The program chosen by Talmi to op^n the season was a music-lovers dream: Verdi's 'LaForzadel Destino' Overture, Rachmaninoff s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini and Brahms' Symphony No. 1. Andre Watts was to have appeared in the Rachmaninoff as piano soloist, but had to be replaced at the last minute due to a strained neck muscle. Watts was replaced by Cuban pianist Horacio Gutierrez. Gutierrez gave an honorable performance of the Rachmaninoff. The Cuban pianist didn' t meddle too much with the lushly romantic 18th variation of the Rhapsody. Following the Verdi and the Rachmaninoff, Talmi and the orchestra got down to business with Brahms' powerful Symphony No. 1 in c minor. Talmi brought out all of Brahms' expressive plains in the symphony. Talmi knows how to bring you up in the music, let's you float around a little, and brings you back down to a full tilt Bravo, maestro! My friend, accompanying me to the concert, and I chose to move to empty seats in the first row of the hall, right behind Talmi and in front of the cello sections (we had to crane our necks a bit to see the orchestra on the elevated stage). My friend wanted to be closer to the cellos, I wanted to be closer to the music making - specifically to observe Talmi closer. What a show I got Talmi is expressive, but he doesn't dance around on the podium. He gets what he wants through his clear beat patters, his phrasing and his ability to drive the 80-plus musicians with his passion for the music. By the time the Brahms was over, I felt that I had died and gone to heaven - and back again. TYPING NEED TYPING SOMETHING TYPED?

What makes In 'N Out so desirable is its unceasing dedication to fresh ingredients. Whereas waits at In 'N Out may be longer than other burger barns, the quality of their food makes the fulfilled anticipation all the more gratifying. The menu is short, simple, sufficient and sweet Nowhere can the collegiate gôurmetfindburgers with bacon or avocado; there are no onion rings or hot apple pies. Only hamburgers and cheeseburgers, shakes and fries are offered. By keeping away from the glitz and glamor of fancyschmancy concoctions, In 'N Out has the leeway to master the art of good, old-time burger-making. The masterpiece of In *N Out is its famed doubledouble cheeseburger. At $2.30, it is a work of art worthy of a place in the Louvre. By adhering strictly to the basics, the double-double achieves what few other burger shops can — perfection in simplicity. The ingredients of the double-double rest on a lightly toasted bun. There are no sesame seeds to irritate the dentures or the palate. The buns are fresh and make for a perfect resting place for the delectable ingredients. Two juicy hamburger patties, made with fresh, handmolded choice beef and sizzled to perfection, are smothered with two slices of American cheese and placed on the bun. Add fresh lettuce, tomatoes and onions to these ingredients and a glob of special sauce, and the double-double is complete. With no cumbersome side ingredients like avocado, bacon or mushrooms, the double-double becomes a revered monument to simplicity. Be advised that it is almost impossible to eat only one double-double. The ingredients are so fresh and scrumptious that, even with a prohibitive appetite, the tastebuds cry for more. Frenchfriesat In 'N Out Burgers are 70 cents and are made with fresh potatoes; no unknown spices and flavorings encumber the flavor. They are of the good old-fashioned shoestring variety that are not too dry or greasy. Customers at In 'N Out can actually witness thé potatoes being peeled and sliced while waiting in line. To compliment the double-double and fries, the collegiate gourmet finds the shakes to be extraordinary. These thick,richcreations, made with fresh ice cream, are the perfect compliments to a great meal at $1.25. Flavors come in the traditional strawberry, vanilla and chocolate varieties. Be advised that these shakes are so thick, drinking them through a straw can become difficult. In *N Out also serves the usual soft drinks and a deliciously tangy lemonade. The only setback to In *N Out Burgers is the massive waits for service. Both drive-thru and walk-up windows have exasperating lines; but do not despair, the food at In 'N Out is well worth the wait San Marcos 727 W San Marcos Blvd. t he c opy c enter San Marcos, CA 92069 Take A Vacation F rom T he H assle Of T ypesetting & Typing.

NEWS 3 Japanese company donates college's largest endowment In an effort to help create international understanding in the North County Community, a Japanese firm, last week announced the creation of a $500,000endowment toCal State San Marcos, to establish an annual international festival. The endowment is the largest gift to CSUSM to date. At an evening reception held Sept. 25 and attended by 500 area business and community leaders, Yoshihiko Kawamura, president of Itoman & Company, Ltd., presented a check for $50,000 to CSUSM's President Bill Stacy, representing the first annual increment to fund the Itoman International Festival at CSUSM. The yearly international festival will promotepublic understanding of Japanese and other nations' business and culture. "We are becoming ä global economy and must prepare future generations of leaders to operate in an international environment," Kawamura said when presenting the initial $50,000 check to Stacy.

Craven Hall bids under budget $ 14 million offer s ets s tandards L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER With an offer that was $ 1.4 million under budget, Cal State San Marcos last week closed bidding to contractors for Craven Hall, the first "feature" building to be constructed at the permanent campus. Bidding for contractors closed at 2 p.m. last Tuesday, with all 11 contractors bidding below the $ 15.8 million budgeted for the building. "This is something I have never heard of before," said Albert Amado, assistant vice president of Physical Planning and Campus Construction. The apparent low bidder for the project was Bodell Construction, of Architect's rendering of Craven Hall. Salt Lake City, Utah. Bodell placed a bid of $14,325,000, less than 1 per- $15,597,000.

Students who had been previously afflicted with the diseases need not provide proof of immunization, but must produce documentation of having had theailments. The documentation must be from a licensed physician. "A lot of students c an't find rec- ords, however, it is safe to reimmunize," says Dr. Joel Grinold, chief physician of S tudent Health Services. According to Grinold, many students, that think they have previously had the diseases, may be mistaken. He says there are a number of viruses that cause rash illnesses similar to mumps, measles and rubella. "Measles in adults is a much more serious illness than in children," Grinold says. Grinold says that adults may experience ear problems, pneumonia and encephalitis as well as rash and fever as a result of the diseases. In addition, pregnant women may experience complications, and mumps is aknown cause of sterility in adult males. To illustrate the importance of immunization, Grinold gives the example of University of Southern California quarterback, Rodney Peefe. Two years ago Peete came down with a case of the measles toward the end of the football season. When USC went to the Rose Bowl, nearly half the team was afflicted with the disease. According to Grinold, many people born between ' 57 and ' 68 may not have received their vaccinations correctly. ' The practice years back was to give the vaccination at 12 months. At that age there is a great possibility that the vaccine won't take,"Grinold says. Even though the vaccine is better now than in previous years, Grinold says there is still a 5 percent chance the vaccine will b e ineffective. Grinold claims that the vaccine is notamedium for AIDS transmission^ so students do not need to fear immunization. "The vaccine is not made from blood products, so there is no risk of AIDS. Student Health Services also uses sterile technique (when admini- stering the shots)," Grinold says. The vaccine is administered free of charge in Student Health Services. Appointments are necessary for students wishing to be immunized. The California State University system requires that all students produce documentation of immunization after one semester of classes. Students can waiver the requirement if it conflicts with religious or personal beliefs. However, if a student does waiver the immunization and an outbreak SEE S HOTS/PAHF r BIDS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 will then be sent t o the Chancellor's Office of the California State University system for approval. If the bid is not approved, it will be offered to the s econd l owest b idder,Taylor Woodrow Construction. Amado said he thinks the low bidding will continue through more projects. "There is no questions that bids will come in lower," he said. "(The building industry) has slowed down, there's not as many projects to bid f or." Amado said the construction industry is now experiencing a "low spot" in business that may last up to three years. He said the competitive nature of the market contributed to the low bids. "A $15 million project can really help a contractor make it through the rough spots," said Amado. In the meantime, Amado said he thinks the beiow-budget Craven Hall bids will be reflective of the tone of future projects. "The budget was put together five years ago," said Amado. " It was anybody's guess where the industry or economy would go." Due to a recession in the building industry, a record number of plans were issued to contractors and subcontractors. According to Amado, 280 sets of the plans, at $300 per set, were distributed. The money is refundable upon return of the drawings. Officials in the Cal State Chancellor's Office said the number of plans sold represents the largest number of plans issued for a Cal State campus. H ie 146,000 square-foot building will be thefirstfeature building on the new campus. The lower two floors of the six-story building will be garnished with imported marble. It will serve as a temporary library, holding over 100,000volumes, and will house administration and Student Services Hpon the campus's opening in 1992. Dean of Student Services Ernest Zomalt talks with students after one of last Thursday's student organizational forums. The purpose of the meetings was to discuss methods of operating student-run organizations. Student forums proceed despite low turnout Despite lower than expected turnout at the student organization open forums held last week, college officials have begun the process of organizing student representation on the Cal State San Marcos campus. The purpose of the two forums held last Thursday was to begin the process of organizing studentrun committees to form student organizations such as a government and a newspaper. Dean of Student Services, Ernest Zomalt, said the turnout at the forums was ' lower than expected/' Even with the low turnout, Zomalt said the forums will continue to be held on a weekly basis. "The purpose (of the forums) is to share general frameworks for starting student organizations," said Zomalt "We want to present to the president a proposal for the establishment of student government, a newspaper, a yearbook, institutionally related activities and a task force to provide a draft of the student handbook and policies/* he said. At the noon forum, Zomalt said he hopes student governmental elections could take place early next spring. He said he would like to see the students at CSUSM form a system of government that is uniquely their own. "There are certain guideline areas that must be followed," said Zomalt, "but the underpinnings that go into it are to be evolved and shared with students." Z omaltsaidtheformof student organizations can move in almost any direction as long as the guidelines f or the organizations are concurrent with Cal State University disciplines. Zomalt suggested that in o nto to write guidelines and policies, student committees should become familiar with restrictions placed forth in Title 5 , a code outlining policies of sharedgovernance in the educational system. "The slate i sn't absolutely clear (on formulas for student organizations), but some of the dots are already connected," said Zomalt. Last month, CSUSM President Bill Stacy appointed Zomalt to chair a task force to develop plans and review options of student organizations f or the fall term, Therese Baker, head of the Academic Senate, was also appointed to the task force by Stacy. In addition to Zomalt, two faculty members of the primary task force committee. Kenneth Mendoza, the chair of the Academic Senate's committee on student affairs, and Pat Farris, director of Business services, were appointed to serve on the committee. At the meeting, more forums, to be held on a regular basis, were scheduled. Zomait and the students present at the forums agreed that Tuesdaysat 12:30p.m. would be the most convenient time to hold the forums. All forums will take place in the Multipurpose Room* Building 145, Room 9. At today *s forum, Zomalt said that he hopes to form committees and subcommittees. These groups will be open to all students with meetings to be held at times other than the scheduled forum times.. These committees will make suggestions to the president through the academic senate on how to run studentorganizations, Zomalt said. �TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2 , 1 990/PIQNEER Library computer program aids with career guidance Developed by a team of researchers 'and specialists at Educational Testing Service, SIGI PLUS (System oflnteractiveGuidanceandlnformation PLUS) combines the unique capabilities of the computer with thoroughly researched data bases of occupations, skill, interests, values and educational programs.

A T HOUGHTS "Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened." SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL Incumbents unmoved by compromise Congressional negotiators, our servants, are going on their fifth month of summits aimed at balancing the budget. The formula is simple enough: do more with less. Compounding the synergy is a list of special interests-many without public s pirit-too numerous to list.

Likewise, the Republicans' myopic insis- Additionally, some programs, such as national defense, benefit from economics of scale, and could not be managed otherwise. On the other hand, the private sector is unprguably the best conduit of earned wealth and societal advancement, and thereby serves the most when it is permitted to prosper.

Age need not be a barrier. The older student population of CSUSM has the wisdom of experience to contribute to the infant campus. Who is better suited for forming a new system of government than those who have seen the faults of the old ones? The biggest fear is that the vim and vigor that seems so externally prevalent at CSUSM will be lost with internalized apathy. This kind apathy, for instance was seen last spring when Stanford University elected Bart Simpson for student body president and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for its senate. Wanting to make an impression at CSUSM that will last forever is fine in theory, but actually venturing out and taking advantage of the opportunities that are available is the only way to cross the river of challenges to a lasting future. . . . ; . . .. . �8 EXPLORI m j f H fjSffi&t f H H B _ p i o n e e r / t u e s d a y , o c t o b e r 2,1900 Tourists traps abundant on tiny island.

For $38 you can buy a boat rip and ten minutes in the air. Para-Sailing is just one of the tourist-oriented traps at Avalon Bay in Catalina. Most of the tours end up at Avalon Bay, but there are other packages which allow you to visit other parts of the island, away from the tourist influx of Avalon. Avalon Bay is easy to get around in. If you choose not to walk, bicycles and electric (golf) carts can be rented. The electric carts are in abundance at Avalon Bay.

You c an't miss them. The Sea Jet cruise line out of San Diego and Oceanside Harbors o ffer you the option of buying admission to a few tours of the island. The tours are independently operated by Sea Jet, so blame them when you come away disappointed. The "Glass Bottom Boat Trip" takes you out around the edge of the island to peer into the sea. For 40 minutes you stare through the the glass-bottomed boat to hopefully get a glimpse of something amusing in the sea. Actually, what visitors see mostly is the abundance of kelp growing from the sea's floor. All sea life is virtually obscured by the waving kelp. The boat is the largest glassbottomed boat in the world, which is probably the most interesting aspect of this tour. On land, tours of the city of Avalon are available. Tourists are herded into an "open air" bus and taken around the inner and outer reaches of Avalon for 50 minutes. Aside from the electric carts which the tour drivers squeeze between, this tour affords a spectacular view of Avalon Bay. ^ffc F ile E dit O ption EXPLORE But probably the preferred tour is the 3 and 3/4-hour Island Motor Tour, a half-day adventure that takes you to the inner sanctions of the island. The wildlife is diverse. The island is home to 12 North American Bald Eagles and some 400 North American Bison. The bison were brought to the island in 1924 to be used in the movie 'Vanishing America.' The studio producing the picture brought 14 of the bison to the island and left them there after filming was complete. The small population of bison adapted to the island and grew to the size it is today. Reportedly, the bison can weight up to 2,000 pounds and still run as fast as a race horse. If you ride the Sea J et's line to the island from San Diego and take the tours, you are left with just over an hour to explore Avalon Bay. Away from the B ay's shops and the tourists, Avalon's side streets and quaint neighborhoods are the charm of city. Yet, even this quaint atmosphere is disrupted by the electric carts that tourists have rented and residents use to get around the bay. Overall, Catalina has much to offer the daytime tourist, but plan on spending a weekend on the island if you wish to experience its charms to the fullest.

The opinion changes season to season. Once autumn rolls around, the 2,500 year-round residents enjoy a respite from the summertime crowds, which average 10,000 to 20,000 people per day. Michael Haphe, 23, an islander for most of his life, doesn't mind when the fall season rolls around. For him i t's a chance to catch up with life. "From an islander's point of view, i t's crowded (during the summer)," Haphe says. The tanned lifeguard reflects on his l ife as an islander. " You're used to such a slow pace nine months o ut of the year." But the young Catalina native also admits, " it's f un (in the summer). You meet lots of people and do a lot of f un things." Haphe lived most of his youth on the island, attending school in Avalon until the 11th grade. He returns each summer from college EXPLORE 1 1 PAR ACHUTE: The umbrella canopy of the parachute suspends the rider in the sky like a kite.

Haphe leans on the pier's railings, squints in the late afternoon sun and thinks about the changing of the seasons, and his change in favorite seasons. "When I was living here," he says, "the summer was my favorite part of the year. T hat's when all the people are here. Now, I like the autumn. I t's a little less fast-paced.

CONTROL STRAPS: By pulling on the nylon harness straps, the rider can control aerial movement. iling, an uplifting ride Like a kite floating on the end of a string, you sway lazily in the sky. You become one with the clouds and the wind as your parachute suspends you in mid air. Para-sailing gives the airborne thrill seeker the chance to experience the delights enjoyed by thermal-riding birds and butterflies. For $38 and 8-10 magnificent minutes, visitors to Catalina can fly like a kite above the pristine city of Avalon. Island Cruzers offers the thrill with an emphasis on safety and excitement The concept of para-sailing is remarkably simple; the rider is suspended in the sky by a parachute and is pulled behind a boat with a 300-foot length of rope. Although the sport looks dangerous and difficult, it is surprisingly safe and simple. Even amateur adventurers will find the activity to be easier than riding a bicycle. First the rider is strapped into a relatively nonrestrictive harness. The harness, constructed of nylon straps, fits snugly around the legs and chest. Although it looks frail and without supportive structure, the harness is very strong and gives the rider extensive freedom of movement. A large, colorful parachute flaps behind and a sturdy lifeline connects the para-sailer to the b oat To insure safety and facilitate the launch process, Island Cruzers has installed a hydraulic wench to the lifelines * The wench feeds the rope out from the boat evenly, allowing the para-sailer to launch without touching the water. Air fills the parachute and, as SEEKERS the boat builds speed, the rider is lifted into the sky. Once airborne, the para-sailer sees the world from an uniquely bird-like point of view. The landscape below unfolds like a blossoming flower as the parachute flaps gently in the breeze. The rider settles into a calm pocket of air hundreds of feet above the ocean's water. It is almost as if the world has stopped revolving so the parasailer can settle in and enjoy the view. The most unsettling aspect of the ride comes with the realization that the boat, which is towing the rider and parachute, is only a distant moving speck. The rider becomes acutely aware that the only thing stopping him/her from being swept away into the sky, is the umbilical connecting him to the boat. Even more unsettling is the view straight down, as the rider sees his feet dangling far above the ocean below. The thougnt that the rope could break at any time or the harness might suddenly give way, adds tension and a sense of danger to an otherwise placid flight Once the rider becomes acclimated to the feeling of flying on a tether, the true fun begins with the realization that the parachute can actually be controlled. When the rider tugs on the harness straps behindhis/her head, the parachute responds by actually turning toward the direction of the strap pulled. If the left strap is pulled, for example, the parachute will veer in that direction. By tugging on one side the harness, the para-sail»' releases air from that side of the parachute, causing it to dip in the direction pulled. If the rider pulls both straps simultaneously, the parachute loses altitude. A fun exercise is to pull both straps at the same time until the parachute dips about 50 feet. After dropping, simply release the straps and the parachute will regain its previous altitude almost instantaneously. When the ride nears its end, the boat slows to a crawl and the hydraulic wench reels in the tether. The rider is brought back to the deck of the boat gently and safely without touching even a drop water. Para-sailing is an uplifting experience for thrill seekers of ^ almost any age or sex and should not be passed by. Para-sailing adventures are also offered throughout Mexico, but be prepared to get w et Most places in Mexico that offer para-sailing d on't use a hydraulic wench. So the next time the urge to go fly a kite arises, check out the view from the other end of the string. �12 PIONEER/TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2 ,1990 EXPLORE CATALIN A guide to island tours, activities and restaurants Catalina is an island paradise located just west of America's most populous state.

That is the question being asked by a group o f Cal State San Marcos students and faculty wishing to create a literary journal for the university. The project, spearheaded by English major Regina John, would create a magazine comprised o f short stories, poems, photographs and artwork by CSUSM students. John said the thrill o f having o ne's own original works published has inspired her to create ajournal for CSUSM. "I was first published in the journal Tide pools a tMiraCosta College," John said. " I thought we needed to start things here." Already, with the help o f English Professors Pat Boni and James Mack, John has informally compiled a list o f about a dozen students for the project. According to Mack and Boni, other students not on the list expressed interest in the publication. Six members o f the group, comprised principally o f English majors, held their first meeting Wednesday a t B oni's home to discuss plans on how to make the journal a reality. " I had a feeling there was a lot o f positive energy about this project," said Mack about the meeting. " It will definitely be a focal-point for English and Humanities majors."· English major Jennifer Eagle, who attended the meeting, said the informal gathering helped to affirm the goals o f the journal. "This is not just a mere fantasy. W e're determined to make it a reality," Eagle said. Eagle indicated that she would like to submit a short story to the journal. Other students who were notable to attend the meeting expressed enthusiasm for the project. Elaine Whaley, who is majoring in English, said she hopes to submit 1990-91 budget examined A projected operating cost o f $ 10 million and an adjusted budget o f $8.8 million, has left CSUSM officials pondering how they are going to reducetheresulting$1,231, 783 shortfall in the 1990-91 general budget. A t the September 13 University Council meeting, a proposed spendingreduction package was presented. $454, 681, being spent o n p art-time faculty salaries, library books and faculty work stations, will b e transfered from the general budget to the Lottery a ccount Another $372, 086 in expenditures for computers, furniture, and library shelving and books will be transfered to a different fund. T he largest group o f reductions will c ome from cuts in the public . relations and institutional research dir ectors's spring budgets, shrinking spring funding o f part-time faculty positions, and absorbing cost associated with the science lab. T he n et effect o f the cost saving measure will leave the campuswith a cushion o f $ 17, 127. written works as well as participate in the editing process o f the journal. Whaley helped to edit a journal published by Seattle's Shoreline Community College. Submissions for the journal will be chosen by students in regards to content alone and will not be judged in regards to the contributor's name or previous publishing experience. Authors' names will be separated from the works during the selection process. Even though student enthusiasm about the project has been high, John said she is still unsure o f where funding for the journal will come. To help get advice for the funding o f the project, John will meet with the CSUSM's President, Bill Stacy, tomorrow. Professor Boni said they will not discount the option o f selling th e journal. At the next meeting o f the group, scheduled for Sept. 24, members of an editorial board are expected to be selected during the gathering. " What we need is a board where integrity is maintained. W e must keep our intellectual and moral integrity in regards to works chosen for th e journal," said Boni. Mack said the group decided at Wednesday's meeting to democratical! y make decisions regarding the publication. He said the journal should make an important external statement o f what is occurring on the campus. "All English instructors should want to get a finger in the pie," he said. A name for the journal has not yet been decided, but participants want it to reflect the theme o f ' a new beginning.' Boni said the group has high expectations for the journal's quality. " We would love our journal to be the best in the country," said Boni. "Nobody sets up by saying, ' We want a mediocre journal."' 7\ BUDGET SUMMARY BUDGET BALANCING GOVERNOR'S BUDGET Estimated cost to run CSUSM for the 1990-91 year PROJECTED DEFICIT .. ........ .. -$1 ,231 ,783 Salaries .... .............. $6,903,586 Salary Savings .... ...

NEWS 3 S tudent government forums scheduled; task force initiated In an effort to build a student government at Cal State San Marcos, two open forums, providing information for government-interested students, are scheduled to air concepts and begin painting a picture o f how student representation will look in the months to come. " It's important to mold a student government to m eet the needs o f the CSUSM campus," said Sandra Kuchler, the assistant dean o f student affairs who is helping to organize the forums. Kuchler said that since rapid growth is scheduled for CSUSM USM, it is important to create a student government that can grow with the college. To help facilitate the process o f forming a body o f student representation, CSUSM President Bill Stacy is organizing a S tudent Government Task Force to develop plans and review options for the fall term. Dean o f S tudent Services Ernest Zomalt was asked by Stacy to chair the task force. Zomalt and Sociology Professor Therese Baker will nominate two faculty members to serve on the task force. The forums, scheduled Sept. 27 at noon and 7 p.m. in Room 9 Building 145, will provide students with additional information regarding the structure o f the task force, its meeting times, calendar o f activities and reporting deadlines. "The forum will serve as a general explanation o f what is going on," Kuchler said. According to Kuchler, interested students can serve on committees to aid the task force in their mission. In order to solicit student involvement, a survey for students has been sent through the mail. With this survey, students can indicate committees in which they are interested. Student committees include: Associated student government Clubs and organizations Student regulations Student newspaper CSUSM yearbook Committee to develop a campus community statement Academic senate committees A brief statement describing experience, attributes and interests is required with the survey. According to Kuchler, student recommendations will be made from information gathered in the survey. " We want to look at different kinds o f governmental bodies," said Kuchler. "Perhaps we will have subcommittees to brain storm ideas. Kuchler said student initiative in forming a student government has been good. She said about 30 students responded to a student government survey distributed at orientation.

An educated person who criticizes without reading up on the issue at hand is an oxymoron. Recently, California State University, San Marcos received its first bit o f academic criticism with the news o f a quartermillion-dollar endowment which would have created a new chairperson for geology. Criticism revolved around conditions for the endowment set forth by its donor Allan Kelly, o f Carlsbad. The endowment carried the stipulation that any professor filling the chair must study and report upon the truth or falsity o f K elly's controversial theory o f impact geology (a theory that claims many o f e arth's geological formations were created by large meteors). The academic community protested, claiming the conditions violated academic freedom and would tum the newly-formed umversity into a laughing stock. CSUSM's President Bill Stacy responded by putting an immediate end to the endowment offer. In the course o f o ne short press conference the issue ceased to exist. Some might assume that Stacy was being tooprotectiveofhis infant university by cutting the generousendowmentoffer, but at this early stage o f development, CSUSM needs all the common sense and care it can get. Stacy acted responsibly and with all the proper instincts o f a wise p arent By rejecting the endowment, Stacy prevented controversy, calmed academic uproar and preserved the college's initial image o f squeaky-cleanness. Whereas Stacy's quick action is to be admired, the quick criticism by the academic community is to b e deplored. Few o f the professors that came forward in the revealing L os Angeles Times article had actually read the conditions o f the endowment. They assumed that CSUSM would become a research pawn for Kelly's unusual theory. STAFF EDITORIAL T hey, o f c ourse, d id n ot r ealize that CSUSM was not obligated to produce e vidence s up- porting K elly's theory. CSUSM would have only been obliged to s et aside a small portion o f time to examine the probability o f the theory and report upon its findings- positive or negative. Kelly, who has committed much o f his life to his theory o f impact geology, simply wanted proper research performed on his ideas. Because he is not a "scientist" or a "scholar," getting a major university to research his theory has been next to impossible. Giving a new university funding to research his ideas was a great way to have his ideas scientifically explored and to help the community as w ell Stacy saw a wonderful opportunity to help his university to grow. With the geology chair that the Kelly endowment would have created, Stacy would have been one quick step closer to CSUSM'ss maturity. He saw the vision o f a new department, more d· versity in the university's educational offerings and a closertie i to the community through the donation. In time faculty approval may not have been forthcoming and the whole endowment issue would have been ended anyway, but nobody will ever know. All that is known is that members o f San Diego's intellectual community struck a blow to education without knowing for what they were fighting. Such actions are expected o f morons but not educated men. Constructive historical significance is the aspiration of anyone seeking greatness. T oday's world is so busy with important events, it may seem impossible to plot for relevance: communism and th e Berlin Wall are falling; the superpowers are quasi-allies; and a c ontemporary Hitler is trapped in his desert hell . What part o f t he big picture, then, is left for all of us to claim? As members o f the vanguard class at Cal State San Marco s, w e are unwittingly on the path o f greatness. Our participating in this entrepreneurial, frrst-in-twenty-years major un iversity makes us leaders in A merica's last empire: educatio n. Additionally, there is a collector' s passion for th e first edition; inevitably, history will refer to us and where we ' ve gone. More specifically, we face the rare capacity to prescribe the future and, indeed, there are many areas where we can make marks on the future o f a m ajor university. Perhaps the most striking detail a t C SUSM is the higher proportion o f w omen, oftentimes referred to as "returning students." More accurately, they are the "current trend." Women pursuing degrees and credentials in higher n umb ers than ever is a microcosm o f t he progress they can seck in society. In recognition o f this mission, a campus-based center highlighting great women (and thereby providing role models) is not gratuitous. Leaders in a rt, science, medicine an d business could comprise such a tribute, with a focus on recent and local subjects. I t's important to note that the Teacher Credential program at CSUSM hosts many o f t omorrow's torches o f learning. Establishing the Department o f Education as a prominent source o f applied research will b e o f p aramount importa nce to the university's profile, and may be seminal in stemming a deluge o f societal ills. On the flipside, Business Education continues to hold intense p opularity and pragmatic p ayoffs. Furthe rm ore, CSUSM is the only state subsidized alternative to SDS U's distant and impacted program. There should be no hesitation to buttress the elements of today' s best business education: writing and problem solving; behavioral management; and international citizenship. T he b est balance to strong professional programs is a broad, liberal arts and science curriculum. All o f the mandates o f higher education get met: intellectual development, communication skills, cross-cultural exposure and appreciation for the human heritage. Finally, there should b e rapid development of a studentbody political process. This will lend momentum to th e school's collective soul and it will give a voice to the univ ersity's " owners." In order to real force in decisions, and no t merely a seminar in parliamentary procedure, there must be built-in administrative and faculty interfaces. All too frequently the disparagement o f the past is a reflection o f " what s hould have been done." W e have been blessed with a pinch in the historical tide and our duty dictates throwing stones twenty years forward. be a D AVID H A MM OND/PIONEER �TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1 990/PIONEER OPINION 9 I raqi conflict a nd H itler regime contain deep economic parallels P IONEER 250-2 S.

Call up the reserves. Tell grandpa to dust o ff his Civil Defense helmet. The reincarnation o f old Adolph Hitler is searching for Lebensaraum in the mideast. Journalists and politicians quickly p oint to t he s imilarities between Saddam Hussein's Blitzkrieg into Kuwait and Hitler's takeover o f Czechoslovakia in 1938. But are these masters o f the sound bite and pork barrel too selective in 'drawing parallels between the present stalemate and World War II? Are the leaders o f opinion and industry purposely focusing on the obvious to avoid the revelation o f far deeper and more significant parallels? You be the judge. In March 1942, more than three months after the U.S declared war on Germany and Japan, the senior Senator from Missouri, dedicated to "exposing treasonable arrangements," embarked on a series o f hearings. The target o f these hearings was Standard Oil. With the help o f dirt dug up by Roosevelt's Secretary o f Interior, Senator Harry S. Truman showed that Standard and Farben I.G. (The German industrial trust) had literally carved up the world markets far more efficiently than Hitler and Stalin had vivisected Poland. Oil and chemical monopolies had been established all over the map. The hearings revealed that WilliamS. Farish, then President o f Standard Oil, had refused to send vital patent information to Canada because Canada and Germany were at war. Farish had also refused to supply the U.S. Navy with Standard's newly developed synthetic rubber. Truman even produced cables showing Standard's arrangements with Japan were to continue throughout any conflict or break in trade." What Truman's hearings did not reveal was that the Chairman o f Standard Oil, Walter C. Teagle helped organize the sale o f tetraethyl lead, an essential aviation gasoline additive, to both Germany and Japan during the first two years o f the war. He even "borrowed" 500 tons from Ethyl, the British Standard Subsidiary. Thanks to Teagle, London actually provided the material that made it possible for Hitler's air force t o bomb England. Not only that, through Teagle 'scrcativebook- keeping, the British Royal Air Force "had to pay royalties to Nazi Germany through Ethyl-Standard for the gasoline used to fly Gorging 's bombers that were attacking London. The payments were held in Germany by Farben's private banks for Standard until the end o f the war." While gas lines and rationing were the rule in the U.S. during the war, the U.S. Ambassador to Spain further blew the whistle on Standard when he made the statement on Feb. 26, 1943, that "oil products available in the country o f Spain arc considerably higher than the present per-capita distribution to the people o f the Atlantic Seaboard o f the United States." Culpable as they were o f treason, Standard Oil was in n o way an anomaly. They were joined in their wartime activities by Ford, ITT, the Chase Bank and many others. But again, the object is not to cast blame, but rather to discover whether the parallels between the present "crisis" in the Persian Gulf and World War II run any deeper that the psychological - rofiles o f Saddam Hussein and Adolf p Hitler. The most important question to ask in times o f national crisis may be: w ho's got the most to gain and the least to loose? A trip to the gas pump may provide a clue. Or how about the scarcity o f Fortune 500 CEOs patrolling the Saudi-Kuwaiti frontier? Perhaps they know there's an Iraqi nerve gas canister with their name on it.

Adventurers will find Baja to be safe, different and very friendly. Roving hordes o f b anditos and gringo-hating Mexican police are more easily found in Mexico mythology than in reality. I f a nything, the inhabitants o f B aja Norte are friendlier than their northern neighbors. Heading southeast from Ensenada on Highway 3, campers can find the fastest route to the Sea o f C ortez and the little town o f S an Felipe. The road heading to San Felipe is a lonely desert stretch passing endless auto graveyards and flat, uncompromising terrain. T he t hree-hour trek ends with the highway a t two giant c ement a rches marking the city o f S an Felipe. At San Felipe the desert meets the crystal blue Sea o f C ortez. Campsites with names like ' Campo P ee W ee' o r ' Pop's P lace' abound. Virtually all these campos afford dynamic views o f the ocean and are equipped with showers and bathrooms (referred to as W.C.s). M any have hookups for recreational vehicles. Beaches a t S an Felipe are wide with fine, white sand. Water temperatures range in the 90s with lillie o r no harsh currents. In the entire San Felipe bay, the waters are waste deep for about a half a mile out. T he w ater level on the Sea o f C ortez drops a full 3 0 feet during low tide and shell collectors can stroll far out into the bay without gelling wet. This phenomenon affords a remarkable view.

Doubling b ack on Highway 3 to E nsenada is t he only way to r eaccess the Transpeninsular Highway, the only paved route heading south. Just below o fEnsenada, near the town o f M aneadera, sightseers can find L a Bufadora; otherwise known as the blowhole. This sea geyser is considered by many Mexicans to be the eighth natural w onder o f t he world. Here waves are compressed through a natural crevice in the cliffs. T he c ompression forces the ocean water 150 feet into the air in a fine spray. With each wave, crowds o f s pectators cheer on the magnificent geyser. Camping near the blowhole is a lso a wonder. Even though campsites a re p rimitive and without running water, the cliffside camps possess magnificent views. For the camper w ho d oesn't w ant to drive too far into Mexico to find a panoramic spot, L a Bufadora is perfect. A few hours south o f L a Bufadora is t he small agricultural village o f S an Quintin. Her lush fields o f e very con_ceivable vegetable fill the eye.

Jet skiing on the Sea o f C ortez offers just this kind o f feeling to both amateur thrill seekers and die hard adventure mongers alike. W e found renting a j et ski in San Felipe to b e not only an exhilarating skip with nature, but also safe and comparatively (to American prices) inexpensive.

This is a good position for viewing the surroundings and gaining rest. STANDING UP: Standing up causes the jet ski to attain higher speeds. In this position, wave-jumping is possible.

"Mexican drivers are crazy." " If your car breaks down in Mexico you die." "All Mexican roads are made o f dirt." "Mexican gas will destroy your engine." For the most part these concerns about driving in Baja California are based on common misconceptions. Driving in Mexico is actually as·easy and as carefree as in the United States. Travelers heading south down the peninsula will find nicely paved roads, plenty o f mechanics and help in case o f an automotive emergency. The first item a gringo driver should take care o f is automotive insurance. An American driver caught in an accident in Mexico will be held fully responsible for the incident i f he/she does not have insurance. Liability insurance can b e p urchased before crossing the border for as little as $3 per day. F or o nly. a few dollars more, full insurance coverage can be bought.

The small village is so isolated that there arc no electrical lines, water pipes or phones. Electricity is provided in some o f the town's stores through a generator and water is trucked in daily. For a fee o f $70, adventurers can rent a 14-foot ponga (a small metal fishing boat) and take a d ay's excursion to the bay's islands. Such a trip should not be missed, as the bay is filled with dolphins, seals and even a gray whale or two. The islands are unpopulated and possess isolated coves idea for snorkeling or sun bathing au natural. They offer a glimpse o f a world untouched by man. Bahia de Los Angeles gives campers an opportunity to be truly one with nature. The best campsite in the entire area is located at a sma ll point at the end o f the bay called Punta La Gringa. Named after American women, who in the past frequented the area to gather shells and rocks, Punta L a Gringa is a veritable showcase o f nature. Here campers can live o ff the fat o f the land with little or no effort. Fish are so abundant in the crystalline bay that all one need d o t o survive is c ast a line out and reel in a bass. Butter clams are so plentiful in the bay that a bucket o f the shellfish can be gathered in less than an hour. Due to the abundance o f bird species, the point is a haven for naturalists, scientists and bird watchers. Blue-footed boobies, identical to those found in the Galapagos Islands, and ospreys share the skies with pelicans and sea gulls. Because o f its isolation, camping at Punta La Gringa has no showers or W.C.s, but for $2 campers can use facilities in the Villa Vitta Hotel, located in the village. Bahia de Los Angeles is only eight hours driving away from San Diego and truly represents Northern Baja to its full capacity. It is a location that any traveler would love. larger cities. Streets in Tijuana and Ensenada can become as congested as Southern California's freeways at rush hour. I f taking an . automobile into the cities is necessary, use defensive driving techniques. Drivers in Mexico are generally not in as much o f a hurry as drivers in the U.S. Be patient i f caught behind a slower driver and adapt to the slow pace rather than cursing it. Highways in Baja are nicely paved and well kept, but at times can be narrow and winding. The Transpeninsular Highway, which spans the length o f the peninsula is the finest Baja has to offer. Roads in small villages or drives leading to isolated hideaways may not necessarily be paved. I f car problems do occur on the highways, a federally-funded service called the Green Angels is provided. T he Green Angels constantly roam the highways in green service trucks. This complimentary service helps stranded travelers with .battery failures, fan belt breakages and whatever easily fixed problem might occur. Travelers should keep extra fan belts, air filters, oil filters a nd w ater on hand for extended journeys into Mexico. Even though the country is filled with qualified mechanics, parts are not always easy to c ome by. Waiting for a fan belt for a Toyota, for instance, could take weeks. Mexican gas is not as clean as the gasoline in the U.S. b ut a welltuned car can function well on it nonetheless. Cars needing unleaded fuel should take the gasoline labeled ' extra.' D ue to the high lead content in the gas, using other than ' extra' g asoline could result in serious damage to the catalytic converter. Gas additives should b e used after three tanks o f M exican gas. A quart o f c ane alcohol, available in Mexican drug o r l iquor stores should b e a dded to free the gas tank o f extra water. T he biggest safeguards for driving problems in Mexico is t o have a well-maintained automobile before the onset o f the journey. Double-check the tires, belts and filters before embarking and no minor problems should arise. witnessed some j et ski aficionados reaching heights o f six feet and attaining a nearly vertical position while airborne.

Turning donuts in the water while standing is almost as easy as a straight forward, full-thrott 1e run. For those less fortunate riders who fall o ff the machine, the j et ski has a built-in safety device.

O NE DAY CRUISES T HE P ERFECT MINI GETAWAY Beating Moctezuma's Revenge Perhaps the biggest factor preven ting Americans from travelling in Me xico is the fear of Moc tezuma's Revenge. The ailment produces such sy mptoms as diarrhea, violent sto mach cramps and cold sweats tha t can tum any dream vacation in paradise into a nightmare in hell. But with a little common sense and a few precautions, travelers can enjoy Mexico ' s grandeur without fear o f the Aztec k ing's curse for gringo s. In order to prevent the ailment, one mu st have an elementary understanding o f the disease's transmission. Moctezuma's Revenge is simply the introduction o f bacteria indigenous to Mexico into the American body. The most common way these strains o f bacteria are introduced is through the drinking o f Mexican water o r the eating o f some food. According to Hidden Mexico, a traveler' s guide to Mexico, not all visitors come down with the illness. It is possible to cat like a king and not suffer any ill side effects. The book offers some suggestions on how to eat in peace: Fruits and nuts with peels are generally safe. Make sure all fruits and vegetables are cleansed with purified water before consumption. Meat, seafood, peeled fruit and drinks served at taco stands should be eaten with discretion. i f great numbers o f flies abound at a particular taco stand, it should be avoided. Food at these tacorias is generally safe and very tasty. G o easy on experimentation. Since many Mexican foods arc very spicy, it is not advisable to mix them too much. Take spicy foods one at a time and in moderate quantities. Drink only bottled water, known in Mexico as agua purifi- cado. A void drinks with ice unless the establishment where they arc served uses bottled water. Do not use tap water for brushing teeth . I fMoctezuma's Revenge does strike than a sparing dose o f Lomotil is advised. Lomotil is a morphine derivative which induces a kind o f intestinal paralysis. It is available all over Mexico and in the United States. Kaopectate or Pcpto-Bismol can reduce the discomfort o f stomach cramps and chamomile tea works wonders at soothing th e stomach. If Moctezuma persists with his torture for more than five days, a visit to a doctor is advised. The most important deterrent to the ailment, however, is attitude. Those who worry most about getting sick in Mexico ultimately are not disappointed. Use Mexico for relaxation and enjoy the great culinary dishes it has to offer.

With only a weekend and a minimal bank account, students can find a paradise o f relaxation only an hour away in Mexico. Those wishing to dance and party all night can find good times waiting for them at Tijuana's Avenida Revolucion. This main artery o f the Mexican border town is filled with Discotheques and flashy bars. Among the most popular and elaborate o f T J' s discos is O H!. OH! is usually packed to the video-lit rafters with fun-seeking college students. Here dancers can boogie the night fantastic to top disco hits. Just o ff Ave Revolucion is the low key nightclub L a B amba. This hole-in-the-wall disco offers contemporary music and their famous tequila poppers. T ijuana T illy's, also on Ave. Revolucion, has a less frenetic atmosphere indigenous to Carlos Anderson establishments. Unusual pictures and paraphernalia adorn the ceiling and walls in this popular gathering place. Tijuana Tilly's serves great food at reasonable prices and is famous for margaritas. Shoppers can find great bargains and a wide variety o f merchandise in the avenu e's many curios shops. Items such as cigarettes and alcohol can be bought for much cheaper prices than across the border. Be advised, however, that United States customs allow only two liters o f alcohol and two cartons o f cigarettes to cross into American territory. Sportsmen will find excitement in Tijuana's unusual spectator activities. Here sports not found in the U.S. are played in dynamic style. The drama and courage o f the bullfights is played every Sunday afternoon a t4 p .m. in the town ' s arena. Bullfighting is a Mexican tradition and should be seen at least once to get a real taste o f culture south o f the border. Bullfighting is as much a part o f Mexican culture as Football is to the culture o f the U.S . with matadors being national heros. J ai Alai is another offbeat sport not found in California. In this high-speed game, players fling a wooden ball at speeds in excess o f 200 miles per hour a t a cement wall. The game is filled with drama and paramutual betting adds to the excitement. Gamblers will love Agua Caliente. Caliente is T ijuana's version o f Del Mar and Hollywood Park. Here horses and dogs race year-round for the pleasure o f betters. South o f Tijuana in the little hamlet o f R osarito, visitors can find more docile forms o f relaxation. The small town is filled with mom and pop taco stands that serve burritos and tortas a t reasonable prices. Rosarito possesses wide, sandy beaches that are perfect for sunbathing and sometimes parasailing. The old Rosarito Beach Hotel is probabl}' the best known spot for sipping a cold, exotic drink and listening to mariachis. Years ago such greats as Lana Turner and Orsen Wells sipped coco locos or tequila sunrises on the old inn's patios. Lodging at the hotel is reasonable by American prices with some rooms containing kitchenettes. All o f the rooms are spacious with newer bungalos costing more money. A few miles south o f Rosarito is the lobster mecca o f P uerto Nuevo. Here dozens o f restaurants serving principally lobster can be found. For $8 a good sized lobster is served Mexican-style with rice and beans. Anyone craving crustaceans will find Puerto Nuevo magnifico. Between Puerto Nuevo and Ensenada lies the d unes o f C antamar. These beachside dunes resemble a scene from ' Lawrence o f Arabia' and are wonderful fodder for ATC riders and motorcyclists. One o f the best restaurants in Northern Baja is the one found at the L a F onda hotel. The restaurant is perched on a cliff overlooking white, sandy beaches. Specialties include lemon pie and lobster. Lodging at the L a Fonda hotel is unique and very romantic. Poems adorn the walls above the beds in some rooms, whereas other rooms resemble a cave. Prices at the hotel are moderate. At the fishing city o f E nsenada, travelers will find a thriving metropolis geared to the tastes o f tourists. Ensenada is known .for its fish taco stands which abound throughout the city. Ensenada is higher-paced than many towns but not nearly as chaotic as Tijuana. By far the most well-known spot in town is H ussong's C antina. This dive bar, reminiscent o f the old west, has wooden tables and floors covered with s awdust At night federales, or state police, are stationed outside the door to keep mayhem at a minimum. Carlos a nd C harlie's bar and grill is another Carlos Anderson creation similar to Tijuana Tilly's. Even though food prices are rather high, Carlos and Charlie's is rich in atmosphere suitable for Americans. Another hotspot in Ensenada is P apas a nd . JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER B eer. Huge baskets o f french fries, potato balls and potato skins are served with a great assortment o f Mexican beer. Ensenada is much less frantic for shoppers with curios shops in great supply. Along with bullfights, Ensenada also has sports fishing and c harreadas, o r rodeos. In S an F elipe, visitors can feast on the town's specialty o f clams and shrimp for pennies on the dollar. One o f B aja's most unusual restaurants is C lam M an's. Diners can munch on buckets o f tasty butter clams and listen to the late clam m an's patented spiel on the contributions o f the clam to the sex drive. Whale bones and dried fish adorn the restaurants decor to create an unusual and rustic atmosphere. Rockodile's is a video bar that reflects the fun o f this small tourist town. One part o f the cantina contains a volleyball net where tournaments are held on weekends. San Felipe is a paradise for sportfishing, windsurfing and j et skiing. The calm, warm water o f the bay is perfect for water sports. Just north o f San Felipe is a string o f gringo-oriented campsites for the more rugged traveler. These campos, with names like 'Campo Pee W ee' o r ' Pop's P lace' have showers, toilets and great ocean views. South ofEnsenada near the town o f Maneadera is the Mexican eighth wonder o f the world, L a B ufadora, otherwise known as the blowhole. La Bufadora is a natural sea geyser that sprays water 150 feet into the air with each lull o f the tide. Watching the phenomenon is free o f charge. At S an Q uintin motorcyclists and ATC riders will find dunes and wide, white beaches with which to test their skills. There are few eating establishments in San Quintin, but Americans can find a safe, hot meal a t the L a P inta resort hotel. L a Pinta rises like an oasis from the dunecovered beach, with reasonable nightly rates and comfortable lodgings. From B ahia d e L os Angeles, nature lovers can marvel in the full spectacle o f the Sea o f Cortez. From this tiny town visitors can rent boats for day-long excursions to the b ay's many islands. Renting a boat, o r ponga, is an essential activity for L.A. Bay visitors. The Bay is filled with dolphins, whales and seals. Fishing can yield such catches as dorado (otherwise known as Mahi Mahi o r dolphinfish), red snapper and bass.

Cajun Connection food as good as Orleans In the expanding world o f fish restaurants and steak houses, fmding an original and exciting eatery can b e ·a challenge. The Cajun_ Connection, located at 740 Nordahl Rd. in San Marcos, is one fo'sure way to beat the bland blues. I guarantee it. Here is an island o f Louisiana hospitality in an ocean o f fa st food joints. Patrons can listen to the southern sounds o f z ydoko music and munch on Mississippi-area delicacies in a light atmosphere sprinkled with a touch o f elegance. Collegiate Gourmet The food at Cajun Connection is as good as that found in New Orleans itself. From appetizers to desserts, the Collegiate Gourmet found all dishes irresistibly different and stimulating to the palate. I started my meal with an appetizer o f fried alligator. Gator is a tender meat with a very slight musky flavor. Fried with a light, crunchy cornmeal coating and served with a zesty horseradish sauce, the gator has just enough bite to wake up the salivary glands. Another outstanding appetizer is the fried oysters. Once again the cornmeal brings out the best flavors o f the dish. For added pleasure, I found that a touch o f Louisiana hot sauce accents these tender morsels perfectly. Chicken and sausage gumbo is also available fo r those who want a real taste o f New Orleans. Each dinner is served with a simple, green salad and garlic bread. I found the house dressmg to be quite refreshing. With aliberal content o f lemon, this dressing is quite' zesty and very flavorful. From blackened steak to crawfish fettuccini, the menu has S TACEY S MITH /PIONEER Gator Bee r, T abasco sauce and craw fi sh are some of the d e li cacies found at The Cajun Conn ection in San Marcos. At th is restaurant, diners can eat exotic New Orleans-style dishes in an atmosphere brimming with Southe rn c harm. enough diversity in selection to please any diner. On my last trip I tried the frog legs as my main course selection. This delicacy is very tender and possesses a slightly fishy flavor. Served fried with alligator shaped french fries, the frog legs make for a pleasing and light main course that will make you jump for joy. My personal favorite main dish is the catfish courtboullion. This fresh-water fish has a mild taste that is perfect with just a touch oftabasco. It is fried to a delicate crunch, served on a bed o f rice and topped with seasonal vegetables. It is a definite must try! When available, the Cajun Connection also serves a Louisiana-style plate o f crawfish. Not only are these mini-crustaceans flavorful, they are also a great eating adventure. Those diners who enjoy a new and exciting domestic beer will be pleased to find three uncommon brews on the menu. O f the three, Dixie Beer, from New Orleans, has the most pleasing flavor and is a great compliment to the cajun food fare. At all costs avoid the Gator Beer. This Florida brew has a sour offensive bouquet that assaults the senses. Wine lovers will find a pleasing variety o f California white and red varietals. An absolute must-try dessert is the bread pudding. This rich delight is filled with pineapple and golden raisins and is smothered in a warm brown sugar syrup I t is undeniably the best bread pudding in North County. The service is casual but amiable. A t times the owner, and chef, makes personal visits to diners and is always in the mood to s uggest a new and exciting taste creation. Prices are moderate to expensive with dinner for two costing around $45.

All songs were written by Smith, but he only sings two, and those were done in very Cure,-like fashion.

H ow has t he s tudent a nd c ommunity r esponse been t o the n ew university? C ommunity r esponse h as b een wonderfully supportive to the idea having a university h ere. W e've h ad a l ot o f demonstrated public support. The-student interest is very high. We are o ver o ur t arget enrollment substantially. ·Without m aking a ny r ecruiting efforts, students nonetheless found o ut a bout us by word o f mouth o r reading stories. They came in and .made their applications and we did have to close applications. Sorry about that, but we didn't want to tell a bunch o f people 'no.' We d idn't c lose i t q uickly enough because now we will have, in a sense, ' way over our full time equivalent target. I sn't o ver-enrollment a c ommon t hread t hroughout all universities? I s uppose the phenomenon o f s tudent interest indicates the basis for the university in the frrst place, and that there is a strong d emand f or f our-year upper-division experience here in North County. According t o D ean Z omalt, t he t arget e nrollment is a round 600. The key in the CSU system is the full time equivalent figure. O ur target was 250. You w ere o ut o f a n ationwide search. I r eceived a n omination f rom the chancellor's office o f t he California Universities. soon as I found out it had no faculty, no s tudents, n o b uildings, n o computers, no cars and n o parking, I wanted to come here. I truly feel most fortunate to get t o d o i t, i t's a c hance o f a l ifetime for anybody who would want to j oin a new university. I had a wonderful j ob i n Missouri.

To reduce pedestrian circulation time, buildings will b e condensed into an easily accessible formation. All buildings will have maximum widths o f 5 0 feet and will rise a minimum o f four stories, thereby creating the feeling o f a condensed, Italian-village. "In trying to respect the terrain, we get a Mediterranean sense. The campus will resemble a crested Italian hill town," said Amado.

Through television, viewers have passed judgment on everyone from Patty Hearst to John DeLorean. Videotape has given us a free pass to the private lives o f public figures and officials, and all i n the name o f news. But we, as a nation o f voyeurs, seldom see the whole picture. O n s uch sensationalistic programs as ' C urrent Affair' o r ' Inside A E dition' viewers only see tapes o f e vents that have been edited t o maximize the drama o f events. Even, and especially, news broadcasts use footage to draw viewers in and increase ratings. Unfortunately, the viewing audience ultimately sees footage that does not always correctly depict events a t hand. I n the case o f R ob Lowe, for instance, America watched a tape that allegedly depicted the actor having sex with a minor from Atlanta. I t w as e asy t o pass immediate j udgment o n L owe d ue to the explicit nature o f the tape alone. B ut w hat most o f the American public does not realize, is that the video, shown so liberally across the airwaves, d id n ot actually depict Lowe and the Atlanta minor. What it really showed was Lowe with a woman in Paris. T he tape found its way to the media only after allegations about Lowe and the m inor arose. N onetheless; L owe was tried and convicted b y a n audience o f millions with a tape that did not depict the event in question. Morally, L owe's s exual exploits were repugnant, b ut t hey made for good viewing. O n J une 28, America had the opportunity o f passing judgment on yet another public person; Washington, D.C.

Only o ne station, Fox owned WTI'G, aired the complete tape. As a result, viewers saw only a partial picture o f a man driven by power and influence to perform vile illegal acts. The complete version o f the tape depicted the tragic drama o f a man more obsessed with sex than with drugs.

With sensationalistic videotape, comes sensationalistic hype. A s s oon as news o f t he B arry tape was made public, a tremendous uprising in the black community arose.

B ut the pinnacle o f sensationalism created by video journalism invites outside groups i nto t he vortex o f m edia h ype, creating more confusion than clarity. As a method o f information dissemination, television has always had a bad reputation. T he practice o f heavily editing videotape for use i n news broadcasts only adds to its poor standing. T o complicate matters further, many news stations offer significant' cash rewards for newsworthy videos. This practice invites would-be treasure hunters, armed with the family cameras, to hunt for news. F or t he most part, the general public has little o r n o formal training in finding and accurately portraying newsworthy events.

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

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