Chancellor recommends speed-up of development L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER A speed-up in the development of Cal State San Marcos' new campus may provide an avenue to limit enrollment at the overcrowded, budgetstricken San Diego State University, said the CSU's new chief. "What I would like to do is accelerate the development," CSU Chancellor Barry Munitz told reporters Thursday. "Because i t's new, because its needs are so g reat... this (campus) has to be a priority for the state." M unitz, w ho w as v isiting CSUSM's permanent campus construction site off Twin Oaks Valley Road, said he would like to accelerate the project to provide faster relief for SDSU. As a result of $19.8 million in budget cuts to SDSU, the campus cut 662classes this fall. Thecutsprompted SDSU to "seriously downsize" the enrollment at its North County campus facility, located at the current CSUSM campus. The 10 percent budget cuts have moved SDSU President Thomas Day to seek methods to reduce his college's population to balance with the decreased faculty and offerings at the southern campus. 'What I would like to do is accelerate the development. Because it's new, because its needs are so great... this campus has to be a priorityforthe state.' B ARRY M UNITZ/CSU C HANCELLOR Munitz agreed with Day that additional admissions controls are necessary to lower enrollment at SDSU. With over32,000students, SDSU has an enrollment I2percent to ISpercent higher than it can properly handle. The problems facing SDSU are shared by 18 of the CSU systems 19 other campuses. According to Munitz, half of allCSUcampuses have already closed enrollment for the spring semester. He said he expects most colleges to close fall 1992 enrollment early as well. Munitz said he wanted to see if the CSUSM campus "is in sound enough shape" to carry a SDSU spill-over. In November, Munitz plans on meeting with Day and CSUSM President Bill Stacy to consider the impact of SDSU students on the infant campus. "We clearly cannot make a magnificent and major shift in a 12 month period," Munitz said. He indicated that the increased SDSU enrollment at CSUSM would not curtail the transfer Of students from community colleges and high schools. Even without the enrollment impaction at SDSU, Munitz stated that a four-year C SU campus in North County is needed. "The key question for us will be, how fast can the state of California afford to build buildings?" added Stacy. "The students are here - demand is here. I t's j ust how fast can we house them." Munitz, who stepped into his posiSEE D EVELOP /PAGE A4 Business dean search extended to attract minorities and women J OHATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER Cal State San Marcos has r eopened a search to find a permanent College of Business Administration Dean citing the lack of enthusiasm with the original candidates and no minority representatives. Richard Millman, Academic Vice President, announced to the college community in July that he has extended the search until Oct. 15. "None of the final candidates has unanimous support of all the constituents," Millman said. He cited the precedent of other administrative positions being filled by a unanimous decision from the CSUSM community. "While there were three candidates brought forward who were 'acceptable* by the committee, there were reservations about each of them by either the committee or me," Millman wrote in a letter to the faculty. "When I looked at the pool of candidates, there were very few minorities and no women," he said. Millman approximated that only three of four were minorities. "For faculty positions, it is important for us to have a diverse pool of applicants," Millman's letter stated. "For senior administrative positions, it is mandatory." A portion of an advertisement for the positions states, "Candidates should have acommitment to cultural diversity, equal opportunity and affirmative action." Currently, CSUSM surpasses both CSU and nationwide ratiosof minority faculty members. I n the first search, a Search Committee sorted approximately 40 applicants. A long process then starts as applicants are prioritized and possible candidates are interviewed. Millman makes the recommendation to CSUSM BiU Stacy on the final decision of who to hire. Millman could make no comment on how the search is proceeding since the closing date is next month. He did say he would like the procedures to move quickly, but that depends on how many applications are received. Millman's goal is to have a new dean by the beginning of the year. " We're shooting for Jan. 1 to get a new dean hired," he said. The final three candidates have been asked if they would like to continue. The acting dean, Bernard Hinton, is one of the three candidates. "There is no question in my mind that whoever the new dean is, we will have a highly qualified individual," Millman said. �A4 P IONEER/TUESDAY.

He said that shortfalls in the CSU operations budget will have no effect on the current construction. Funding for campus construction is attained through state bond issues. L ast N ovember v oters r ejected Proposition 143, a $450 million bond issue which would have provided funds for construction and improvements in the state's system of higher education. "Losing that last bond issue was a major blow for this campus," said Munitz. Proposition 143 would have funneled $10 million to CSUSM for the acquisition of library books and furniture for the permanent campus. Munitz said another bond issue supported by Senators Tom Hayden and Gary Hart will be placed before the voters in June. "If the bonds don't pass, we c an't continue," said Munitz. In the meantime, Munitz pledged to fight for a greater share of state money in budget discussions to be held later this year. "Our goal will be, whatever the pie is, to get a larger slice of it for higher education and CSU," he said.

President Jose Chapman in a statement to Pioneer. Last semester, students narrowly passed a measure to assess a $15 A.S. membership fee, but without the enabling measure the new governing body was not able to collect the allowance. In order to bring financial solvency to the newly formed A.S., the Council appealed to theUniversity Foundation f or help. The Foundation responded with a loan of $12,920 to be repaid over the next three semesters. Without the passing of theenabling measure on October'sballot, the A.S. will be hard-pressed to repay the loan on schedule. "The A.S. needs a true basis of support," said Vice President of StudentServicesErnestZomalt. "Itneeds a steady revenue from the student body." Zomalt said if the measure does not pass, the A.S. will be forced to reassess its scale of activities. He said the organization would not have the ability to support clubs, organizations and student-run publications. The A.S. budget would need to be reduced, thereby decreasing its activities in campus and inter-collegiate events. If the enabling measure fails in the fall election, Zomalt said the issue will once again be placed before the students. "If spring brings a 'no* vote, we'll have to see if students are supportive of a governmental structure," he said. Even though the fee measure itself passed last semester, Zomalt said it was the judgement of the Council to reintroduce the act to the students. "These are full disclosure elections," he said. Zomalt said the $15 fee on the upcoming ballot is a "fair amount" that should be sufficient to support the present governmental structure. Monies garnered from the membership fee should finance the spring semester's budget as well as give the A.S. amode to repay the Foundation's loan. A third ballot measure would allow the A.S. to establish andaward student government scholarship stipends, grants-in-aid and other "remunerations for the A.S. officers and council members for services rendered to the A.S." In addition to the fee measures, students will have the opportunity to elect three positions in the A.S. Council which became open after members left their posts. Post-BaccalaureateRepresentative at Large, David Hammond and College of Education Representative, Heliana Ramirez, left openings when they decided to attend other universities. Tracy Barfthill, the undergraduate representative at large vacated her position due to time commitments. Even though the A.S. has the constitutional authority to appoint those positions, it elected to leave the d ecision to the student populace on the upcoming ballot. "There's a lot of time and energy used to put together an election," said Z omalt "Since we already have one* coming, the A.S. thought it best to open the decision to the students." Zomalt said Student Services is hoping to do a candidate forum after hopefuls apply to the position. Students interested in A.S. candidacy can pick up applications in the Student Services Office in Building 125. New and continuing students are encouraged to apply. Deadline is 5 p.m. S ept 23. In the meantime, Chapman stresses the need to impose and collect student fees. "Rememberthis," wrote Chapman, "nine people and a loan do not a campus Associated Students make."

CSU's21stcampuswillbebuilt in a Ventura County lemon grove, the320-acre Chaffee/Duntley site, and begin classes by the later part of this decade as a two-year university. With a 14-1 vote, the CSU trustees capped a five-year search by approving the site between Camarillo and Oxnard next to a California Youth Authority prison, said CSU spokesperson Colleen Bentley-Adler. The selected site will now be forwarded to the state Public Woiks Board for approval and acquisition of the property. The land must be purchased within the $6 million budget that remains after spending $1 million on an environmental study to evaluate available sites. "We'veexpendedalot of effort, time and a lot of money on this site," said Trustee Anthony M. Viti, chairman of the site selection committee. The two other sites considered include the Donlon site, 310 acres east of Oxnard, and the Sudden Ranch site, 250 acres in east Ventura. The chosen property is owned by Sakioka Farms and Mosheni Ranchers. The initial phase of construction would be a two-year campus to serve 2,000juniors, seniors and graduate students by the end of the century, Bentley-Adler said. Cal State San Marcos currently operates with the same organization. Conversion to a 15,000-student full-service university would occur between 2010-20. SERVE C OPIES Library gets $2.2 million for book acquisition plan Worries of how to gain funds to fill Cal State San Marcos' future library with books were put at ease this summer when college officials successfully rallied for support in Sacramento. Now the CSUSM library is faced with a new dilemma - where to store thousands of boxes of books until the new facility is ready in 1992. With thefailureof Proposition 143 last spring, officials at CSUSM found themselves with a $2.2 million shortfall for the acquisition of books to fill the permanent campus* library. To help alleviate pressures created by the failed proposition, presidents from each of CSU's 20 campuses appealed to the Chancellor's Office in spring to save important lost projects that were in dangerofbeing eliminated due to lack of funds. The President's Council listed top priority projects for each campus. The chancellor then sought funding for the projects from the state legislature. One of CSUSM's top priority projects was the second half of the library book acquisition plan. After approval of the projects from acting chancellor Ellis McCune, requests were placed before the state legislature in June. CSUSM Executive Vice President Richard Rush went to Sacramento rf§ IMPROVE 'We listed several priorities. This is the one item we got. We didn't get approval for the rest of the constructionrelated items, You can't have a great university without a great library' RICHARD RUSH/EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT during the legislature's review of the requests in case questions arose. He left with the go-ahead for $2.216 million in library funds. "We listed several priorities," said Rush. "This is the one item we got. We didn't get approval for the rest of the construction-related items." Last year, $2.1 million came in October for the first half of the book acquisition project. With the second allotment of funds, CSUSM should be able to build a sizeable core collection for the new campus. "It may sound like a large figure, but it isn't in terms of 'starting an opening day collection," said Marion Reid, library director. According to Reid, the average cost for a domestic tide is $46 per book. Reference books, science and art titles usually run more.

Reid said the library will be larger than those at UCSD and SDSU. At the end of June, Reid said CSUSM had already acquired 43,000 titles. "We don't have a place to put them on campus," said Reid. Currently, many of the books are being stored in Eckerts Storage until a more suitable location can be found. Reid said she is looking for some way to move the library operations before Craven Hall opens. The library has already expanded its holding power by shelving books on the east end of the library where periodicals were held last semester. Thousands more are shelved in a room adjacent to the Center for the Study of Books in Spanish for Children and Adolescents. Thelibrary'sstaff continually sorts through the boxes of books to make as many available to students as possible, but the process is a tedious one. During the summer, local high school students were enlisted to help unpack books and check for numbers. Each book must be logged on the library's computer system. Scanning strips are also being placed on each book in preparation for the upcoming automated system. Reid said the library does not plan on being up and running in Craven Hall if the campus opens next fall. Before that can occur, shelving must be seismically safe, security systems need installing and computer systems must be running. Rush said the library plans received good support in Sacramento. "You can't have a great univcrsit> without a great library," he said. �University prides itself on abundance of cultural events As a member of Pioneer, I frequently hear two words. One phrase is "money" - also sometimes referred to as a budget. This is because the state of California and the national has a debt much larger than my Master Card bill. Fortunately, Cal State San Marcos hasn't felt the shock waves of the budget problems as other campus have. The other term heard around campus is "culture." With global awareness and cultural diversity running rampant in our society, I 'm not surprised of the many comments I come across. And comparing these two words, I prefer the latter. This week is a perfect week to get a little culture. In celebration of Mexico!s independence from Spain, CSUSM is hosting a series of noon-time concerts this week. The concerts are a followup to the Fiestas Patrias celebration that the university participated in over the weekend. If you missed yesterday's performance, Miguel Lopez will play the Vera Cruz harp today. Mosaico performs Wednesday and Es O Es, a 10 piece Latin j azz band is going to make a great finale to the week on Thursday. Each performance is held in the Student Lounge at noon. Two upcoming cultural events will be just as exciting. A Javanese/Balinese gam elan ensemble will perform in the Student Lounge at noon on S ept 30. I recently have been introduced to this music and find it very fascinating. Mark your calendars for O ct 27. The university will host the First CSUSM International Festival. This CAMPUS BEAT BY J O N A T H A N YOUNG v utt omc ^ i^H-^. event has been a year's planning and is sure to rival the American Indian Cultural Fair in attendance. It will held here on campus from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Three pre-festival concerts are also planned on Oct. 2 1,22 and 23 at noon in the Student Lounge. • In my last column, I wrote about the Boxer Rebellion day held over the summer for the Faculty and Staff. One person was identified incorrectly. My excuse was the purpose of the theme day itself. Margaret Rail wore a cardboard box that day, not Marsha Woolf. Under deadline pressure, I had forgotten her name. At the time, I felt I was being a responsible journalist by checking where her office is (I remembered that) with a detailed map of the moved office?. However, Margaret moved along with everyone else over the summer and no longer worked where she did the previous semester. The theme day was to keep everyone sane while the university was rearranged, but it sure confused this writer. My apologizes to Margaret and Marsha for the mix up and a big sorry to Bob Rail, who came up with the box idea. CSU campuses ranked top in gifts Five California State University campuses are among the top 10 of public comprehensive universities nationwide in total amount of private gifts received in 1990.

TO VOTE �P IONEER /TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1991 Ballot measure would fortify student voice A funny thing happened last semester on the way to the voting booths. Students at Cal State San Marcos decided it was time for the formation of an Associated Students and the establishment of a $ 15 membership fee, but felt the student government shouldn' t be able to collect its newly approved fee. The downfall of the measure allowing the A.S. to collect fees is probably due to s emantics. The wording for the measure came directly out of T itle 5 (that governmental d ocument STAFF EDITORIAL which dietates how university student governments are supposed to operate). Anybody who has ever read a political document knows that governmentalese is a difficult and sometimes impossible language to decipher. All the measure asked was that students give their governing body permission to collect fees voted in by the students. The voting populace could have voted a 10-cent fee, but without the enabling measure the effort would have been for naught But students were intimidated by the measures ambiguous phraseology. Some thought it would have given the A.S. the power to impose student fees at a whim. Others thought that voting in a fee of $15 was good enough. Not so. The enabling measure is the metaphorical donkey before the cart. The student fee measure is the cart itself. If any distance is to be gained, both must be approved. On Oct. 7 and 8, students once again have the opportunity to give the A.S. a financial vehicle. Since the A.S. is now operating on borrowed money, a steady source of income through student fees is essential. Without student fees, club formation will be hindered, campus events will be limited and student representation will be squelched. Since we don't have the luxury of enjoying a fully stocked campus, the least we can give ourselves is a financially sound student voice. The recession has pinched all of our wallets, but we cannot let it pinch our priorities as well. We owe it to ourselves and future students to vote "yes" for both Measure A and Measure B on next month's ballot. If "no" wins in the vote then the entire distance travelled by the students to gain a voice will be lost. OUR V IEWS R acial sensitivity is essential At one time I saw people as butterflies. It was a naively metaphorical way at looking at things, but with my simple association I could equate each person's differences with a representation of unique beauty. My simple simile could not have been more inconect. It began at my place of employment several weeks ago when a working associate of mine was accosted by a customer. My friend was a butterfly of a different color. Some would call him "African American" while others of politically correct mindsets might refer to him as a "Person of Color." To the malicious customer, he was a "nigger." The word was spoken brazenly and, when combined with nasty expletives, made a terrible hiss across the storefront. I felt immediate anger, pain and shame that one human being could treat another of equal mind and equal soul with such unequivocal lack of compassion. Yet, I could not even begin to imagine the intensity of pain my friend felt as words turned to a poison which shriveled up his composure and unleashed years of hidden anguish. His only intent was on the destruction of his tormentor. I attempted to hold my friend back as I tried to rationalize the events at hand, but I honestly had never seen such a voracious verbal assault. It was as if I had been in a cocoon, only to break out and find that the world was not a place of butterflies, but of dragonflies. Never in my 30 years had I heard first-hand one human call another such a terrible thing. I was angry at the white trash who uttered those words and angrier still at the pain he inflicted, but most of all I was angry at myself for being part of a society that for years had kept my middle-class eyes from seeing it all along. LARRY BOISJOLIE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF As a university for the 21st century, Cai State San Marcos has forged a commitment to racial sensitivity with its Mission Statement. T his commitment must not be taken lightly. In the beginning the statement itself seemed to me to reek of overblown Politically Correct rhetoric. It appeared that the university was just tossing another turnip on the bandwagon as it passed through. I honestly didn't see the need to formally state an understanding of others that should be humanly inherent. With the event at my workplace last month, I realized that the only humanly inherent consistency is inconsideration. We are all inconsiderate whenever we flippantly toss off a racial joke or propagate a stereotype. We are all inconsiderate when we believe that the person sitting next to us is inferior in any way due to race, sex or religion. Mostly, we are all inconsiderate when we don't educate those around us that all people are created equal. Without global awareness in education, there is little hope of attaining a society where equality and not prejudice is paramount. Who knows, with education, maybe even the ugly American that confronted my friend can see the world as a place of butterflies. �Hassan's hermeneutics lecture sparks deeper cultural insight PIONEER Gal State San Marcos San Marcos, CA 92096 (619) 752-4998 Editor-in-Chief Larry Boisjolie Graphics Director Jonathan Young Advertising Director: Karen Whitfield Entertainment Editor: Debbie Duffy Photo Editor: Kathy Sullivan STAFF WRITERS: Sheila Cosgrove, Elaine Whaley, Wendy Williams CONTRIBUTORS: Kim Courtney, Dr. Joel Grinolds, Regina John PHOTOGRAPHY: Stacey Smith CARTOONIST: Daniel Hernandez Quite frankly, most of us students who attended Wednesday's lecture by Vilas Research Professor Ihab Hassan were there out of respect for our professors. They were excited and so our interest was piqued. But we were iritimidated. Most of us didn't expect a lecture with a title like 'Aspects of Mijlticulturalism and Literary Theory' to be even marginally comprehensible, much less to be something which would cause a ripple of discussions to eddy around the shores of our learning community. We were surprised and delighted and our perspectives were enlarged by this warmly personable man. Hermeneutics, Hassan tells us, is the science of interpretation, of understanding between cultures. In an era pf ever-expanding global communications and economic interdependence, it is crucial for society as a whole to develop tolerance for ideologies a nd cultural mores which differ from our own. Hermeneutics is the grease between these wheels. Paradoxically, while the world is engaged in a process of economic intermarriage, in many areas, we are also in the process of redefining allegiances to our ethnicity. The Eastern block countries were Hassan's obvious example of^ these dual processes of Globalization and Retribution. But, we at Cal State San Marcos, as a community committed to cultural diversity can also be included in this paradigm. The big question Hassan addresses is this: How can we make these transitions smoothly? Hassan beheves that crucial to these discussions is the question of ideological differences. He says that we can take three approaches to differences: 1. To preserve them. 2. To overcome them. 3. To negotiate them away. It is then, the province of hermeneutics to define these differences and to decide how to approach them globally. Professor Hassan quoted a passage from an essay by Jun'ichiro Tanazaki, In Praise of Shadows, in which the author laments the passage of traditional Japanese values, while he recognizes the painful inevitability of progress. The essay makes the point that, while traditional values might have to give way in many areas, in literature and the arts they may possibly be preserved (Dr. Mendoza's students were smugly relieved they had read Tanazaki). So, how are we as individuals to profit from the visit of £rofessor Hassan? How are we to manage our own multicultural identity here at CSUSM? Our Mission Statement is clear. We cannot duck these issues. Hassan believes that some aspects of literary theory can be useful in this context. He suggests that, although at its most useless, literary theory is nothing more than a "self-delighting game of the mind." At its best it is "a process of interrogation — a sustained, systematic way of questioning, a way of avoiding dogma." According to Hassan, avoiding dogma is the key to avoiding conflict. He developed this idea of philosophical pragmatism further, but ended by countering with the idea that man cannot live by questioning alone. Even as we guard against the formation of dogma, we need our roots as sources of "spiritual food." Tanazaki tells u s,".;. that there might still be somewhere, possibly in literature or the arts, where something could be saved." It seems incredibly timely to be on the eve of the first International Multicultural Festival staged by our university. It will give us all a chance to see cultural hermeneutics at work.

A THOUGHT; "In spite of everything, I still believe people are really go<59 at heart." ANNE FRANK Angry student recounts registration woes I am a student at Cal State San Marcos and would like to let you know how I feel about the fall 1991 registration process. To begin, I attended this university in the fall 1990 semester and took the spring 1991 semester off to return t o a junior college to fulfill requirements that CSUSM said I needed (and could get only at a junior college). The people in the Admissions Office told me that I would not have to reapply and that I would receive registration materials for fall 1991 automatically and in plenty of time. I did not receive any registration information from CSUSM until three weeks before the semester started. I had been calling since May to make sure I would not be forgotten and was always told that, "something would be in the mail soon." Again, nothing came until three weeks before school started. During these last few weeks I again called and an admissions representative said that the CSUSMadministration did not think that people in my situation would be returning because of Desert Storm, etc. Therefore, sending out letters would be a waste of money. I just wish that I would have received this answer in the first place instead of being lied to all along. They also told me that I would be in the last group to register. This meant that the new students registered before me. I was told that this would not happen. By the time I registered three YOUR VIEWS PUBLIC FORUM out of four class choices were closed. I can understand classes being closed, but I cannot comprehend why I was told that I would enroll in plenty of time and would not have trouble getting the classes I needed. Here I was, a continuing student, registering after the new students. I realize that budget cuts have made operations strained for the CSU system, but I think that fairness in registration practices should not be sacrificed! In the future, I hope that students in my situation will not be the last people to register nor have to wait until practically the last day to enroll. This practice is unfair and fosters animosity towards CSUSM. This letter is submitted on behalf of the approximately 60 students who faced the same situation.

Primitive ritual becomes latest daredevil craze M i I s this something I really want to do," asks 30-year-old Stanford Easley of San Diego. His hesitation is not surprising considering his tentative perch on the edge of a balloon basket nearly 200 feet above this secluded Rancho Penasquitos valley. For Easley and the two dozen other men and women waiting their turn in the field below, this hot-air balloon ascent is a test. More accurately, it is the thought of the free-fall descent that tests one's nerve, sanity or both. This group has gathered more than an hour before sunrise because the sport of bungee jumping provides what many other pastimes lack by comparison: one crystal clear moment of truth. For these jumpers the arrival of that moment is signaled by pilot Rick Armstrong's huge hand grabbing the back of their chest harness. Gone is the swaggering bravado most exhibited in the chill early morning air. As they struggle to hoist their legs over the side, of the balloon's wicker basket they are acutely aware that pride, if nothing else, says there is only one way down. The crowd below counts down in unison "five.. .four.. .three.. .two.. .one," and then hoots and hollers its encouragement In the blink of an eye Easley is gone, falling unrestrained, only to bounce and swing like a rag-doll seconds later at the end of the 50-foot-long bungee cords. R u s s A rmstrong, a 2 7-year-old e xfirefighter who helped found Boing Bungee* knows all too well the hesitation felt by his nervous clients. His white-knuckle introduction to the sport taught him a lesson he tries to impart in his early morning briefing. "If you think about it, it gets harder. I t's better to get yourself pumped up and just go up and do it," he tells his attentive audience. Jumpers are placed in order according to weight and begin mentally preparing themselves as the 80-foot tall balloon is inflated. "With this, you d on't just get the adrenaline rush dumping yourself out of the basket," Russ explains. "Getting fitted for the harness sometimes does it. Some people get excited watching the balloon being inflated." Jumpers will M l nearly 100 feet after leaving the basket. ' The bungee cords are 50 feet long and there's another 12 feet of rigging," says Russ. The giant rubber bands will stretch another 20 to 35 feet before the first rebound. Russ claims the bungee's effect is not harsh, but instead is more like a "rapid deceleration" that bounces the jumper back to about 80 percent of the original free-fall height "Most people claim the second free fall gives them the biggest thrill—sort of like the second dip of a double-dip roller coaster, you're ready for it and you kind of know what to expect," he says. Far from the daredevil image the mention of the sport evokes, Boing Bungee's jumpers come in all shapes and sizes. "Our oldest was 63 and he had a blast," Russ says. Broad weight requirements (a minimum of 100 and a maximum of 300 pounds) mean the experience is open to almost everyone. The company will even waive the minimum age of 18 if the minor's parents are present to sign and videotape the standard release statement The popular machismo stereotype also holds that this sport separates the men from the boys. From his experience, Russ believes that, more accurately, bungee jumping separates the men from the women. The average morning's jump roster is filled with nearly even numbers of both sexes and there is a definite pattern to how each approaches the experience. " It's interesting," Russ says, "the women seem to be the more aggressive jumpers, they show more style. The guys are out there to prove something, but the women are out there because they really want to jump." In fact, evidence suggests the experience may actually be more traumatic for manly types. "My sister videotapes all the jumps so she gets to see these facial expressions. She says the terror that some guys have on their faces is just incredible," Russ laughs. But then this is not a recreation for the faint of h eart Neither is it a sport where the participants are bound by logic. Just ask 25year-old Cheryl Simon of Los Angeles who traveled several hours in the pre-dawn darkness with her brother to be here this morning. Before her jump, Simon nervously explained her motivation. "I wanted to do this because I 'm a crazy person. I love to scare myself." Back on the ground after hurling her fate and body to the winds, Simon's weak knees struggled to support her. Her review of the experience highlights the sport's inherent contradictions. "I was hatin' it the whole way down. It was terrific.". F o r the young men of Pentecost Island in the South Pacific archipelago of Vanuatu, 'land diving' is an annual ritual that is said to be both a test of a man's courage and a way to ensure a plentiful yam harvest Each spring the men of the island gather liana vines and braid them into long cords.

Jumping from a balloon: more than 'macho thing' "Are you sure this isn't a macho thing?" my wife asked me. "Aw, c'mon honey. You know I 'm not the macho type," I replied. Somewhere in our wedding vows between the words love, honor and cherish was the phrase 'do you promise to give up watching or participating in baseball, golf, boxing, football and other macho things?' "You know i t's for the newspaper," I countered. "I think you have a death wish. Where does it say that a reporter has to jump from a hot-air balloon tied to a rubber band?" " It's not a rubber band. I t's a bungee cord." "Bungee cords hold books on bicycle racks not people from balloons," she parried. Of all the thrill-seeking activities I 've attempted, bungee cording took the most getting used to. Not only did I have to face the very real possibility that I might die if something wrong occurred, I had to persuade my wife that I wasn't experiencing some kind of premature testosterone-induced mid-life crisis. She finally gave her consent for the venture when I agreed to open a life insurance policy. mm 1 I I M Jl A MM 0 JF Jf mWW SEEKERS BY L ARRY BOISJOLIE After the insurance agent drafted up a contract which would award my wife and upcoming child enough money to bail out the nation's Savings and Loans companies in the event of my accidental death, I asked the fatal question. "Let's say I were to die while leaping from a hot-air balloon tied to a bungee cord. Would that qualify as 'accidental death?'" The insurance agent dropped the unsigned policy in the shredder. Nevertheless, at 4:45 on a Saturday morning I was ready to take my leap of faith. I 'd always heard that 'the early bird catches the worm.' If my tether broke the adage could be changed to 'the early bird smooshes the worm,' or perhaps, ' It's the early worm that gets got.' As I watched the 80-foot balloon inflate, I SEE TH Rl LL/PAGE B5 �J UMP CONTINUED FROM PAGE B2 plunge head first to within inches of the ground below. In 1979, members of Oxford University's Dangerous Sports Club learned about the natives' ritual and the sport of bungee jumping was born. Dressed in top hats and tails, club members took the first modern leap of faith from San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. T wo of the sport's early enthusiasts, John and Peter Kockelman of Palo Alto, CA, left their jobs and opened the first commercial bungee operation in May of 1988. They offered customers the opportunity to jump clandestinely off many of the Sierra's river gorge bridges (an activity that is highly illegal, with stiff fines and even jail time awaiting those who are caught). Bungee jumping has become popular the world over with New Zealand rivaling the U.S. as the hotbed of the sport. A few daredevils have also popularized the sport in Europe where New Zealander A J. Hackett gave them a dramatic introduction by bungee jumping off the Eiffel Tower several years ago. Bungee jumping from hot-air balloons is the latest evolution of the sport. While a violation of FAA regulations if done from free-flying balloons, California boasts a handful of legal balloon bungee jumping operations. Many new companies catering to thrill-seekers are springing up across the country every month. In Colorado's Clear Creek county, officials have j ust licensed a specially constructed 140-foot bungee jumping tower, the first of its kind in the nation. F o r Boing Bungee's Russ Armstrong, the idea of jumping out of a hot-air balloon seemed foolish. When brother Rick suggested the idea in November of 1990, he was met with a less than enthusiastic response. "1 about slammed the door in his face," remembers Russ, " I thought it was the craziest thing on the face of the earth." After a three-hour phone call between the brothers, some more extensive research, and several weeks of discussion, the family decided to pursue the idea and Russ was elected to try it out. But when the time came to jump on that first weekend of testing, the family's strapping 260-pound baby brother couldn't bring himself to leave the basket "I remember thinking 'this is ridiculous. In 19 years of ballooning I 've never left a balloon in flight,'" laughs Russ. His second attempt a week later was no easier. "We went out thé next weekend and I said 4I have to do this,"' Russ recalls. " I leaned out and I still couldn' t go. We sat there for 20 minutes." Finally Russ asked his brother for a gentle a ssist I was screamin' all the way down," Russ says. " I said, 'God please catch me. Make this w ork.'" T Trusting your life to an industrial strength rubber band is not something to be taken lightly. Last month in Norway a man plummeted 150 feet into a pool of water when his bungee cord snapped. Luckily he suffered no injuries. For Boing Bungee's Armstrong brothers, safety is the number one priority. "We go overboard for safety's sake. We looked at how other people were doing this and then we said,4how can we make this s afer,'" says Russ. He believes the many small innovations he and his brother have made to their balloon and equipment help make an inherently dangerous sport a lot safer. For starters, every piece of equipment used — from the smallest carabiner t o the 30,000pound crane rig used to secure the bungee cord to the balloon's basket — i s tested to hundreds of times the strain each jumper will place it under. Four oversized bungee cords, rated at 6,000 pounds each, are retired regularly and the specially modified and reinforced balloon basket and envelope are given a painstakingly thorough inspection every 100 hours. Unlike the more traditional method of securing jumpers by their ankles, Boing Bungee uses padded fire department rescue chest and seat harnesses to keep jumpers in a seated position. Specially made pads cover the cords and all related hardware against accidental contact The South Pacific islanders who originated the sport attempt to come within inches of the ground, but the Armstrongs prefer to take a more conservative approach. "The reason we go to a minimum of 150 feet (they usually average 170-200 feet) is f or that extra safety margin," Russ explains. Differences in weight decide how many of the four cords are used for each jumper, but more is not necessarily better. "Everyone jumps with at least two cords. If we used more than that f or a light person the shock would be too g reat I t'd be like hitting the end of an ordinary rope," says Russ. For everyone who doubts bungee j umping's safety, there is another who has questions about its legality. While the sport is illegal from bridges and free-flying balloons, Boing Bungee and a handful of other companies have found a way to o ffer this new thrill to the general public within the bounds of Federal Aviation Administration rules and regulations. "The FAA works in strange ways," Russ says. "They have a lot of loopholes and gray areas." The key lies in the company's practice of using tethered balloons. Armstrong says that though the FAA hasn't issued a definite opinion on bungee jumping from balloons, he believes i t's only a matter of time. Russ and his brother are working closely with other reputable operators to demonstrate the high levels of safety possible in an otherwise dangerous s port The Original in San Diego County!

The fact that three workers of the ground crew had casts on various limbs didn't ease my churning stomach (I was told that all the injuries were incurred while handling the balloon and not while jumping). A guy in an arm cast strapped me in a harness that wrapped snugly around my chest and another that held my upper thighs and groin in check. I wasn't too concerned about the chest harness, but I couldn't stop imagining what a jolt to the iower harness might do to my family jewels.

I closed my eyes for a second and then leaned over the side of the balloon basket and opened them. "Those people look like ants," I told balloonist Rick Armstrong. ' They are ants," he replied. "We haven't left the ground yet." The ride up was serenely terrifying. If not for the impending jump, it actually might have been fun. During the ascent, Armstrong reiterated the final safety tips. "Don't grab the bungee cord on your way down. Keep your arms out," he said. "Be sure to keep your legs together. You don't want the bungee cord to get in there." Xvv Bungee At Its Best From A Hot Air Balloon! Mention this ad & get a FREE Jump* 988-7272 » WITH EACH PAID JUMP. OFFER EXPIRES 10-17-91 $ My thoughts were only on what could go wrong. What if the bungee cord breaks? What if the cord wraps around my neck? What if I don't remember to keep my legs together? I tried to erase all fear from my mind and, when we reached an altitude of 200 feet, I climbed precariously onto the edge of the b asket While sitting on the edge of the balloon basket listening to the crowd count down to my jump moment, I felt myself going through Elizabeth Kiibler-Ross's five stages of coping with death. " Five..." Denial: There is no way in hell I was going to jump from this balloon. Didn't somebody tell me this was a bird-watching expedition? • Tour..." Anger: Why did I spend $95 to do this! What was I thinking? Damn that premature testosterone-induced mid-life crisis! "Three." Bargaining: Maybe if I puke the balloon guy will take me back down. " Two..." Depression: I won't be able to have an open-casket funeral. " One..." Acceptance: Okay, so I 'm gonna die. I let go of the basket and started to fall. The feeling was like one of those dreams you have as a kid where you are plunging mercilessly down a cliff. I knew that if I hit the bottom all life as I knew it would cease to exist. About halfway down the realization of reality strikes. The only thing visible is the rapidly unfurling bungee cord and the hissing sky. My arms impulsively reached out to grab the cord, but my mind, fresh with Armstrong's warning, resisted the impulse. My falling body instinctively negotiated for position as I reached the end of the cord. I had begun in a sitting position, and was now sprawled out in a supine configuration. The first bounce came more quickly than I had expected and I was thankful my fillings stayed in place. I went from plummeting to my death to rocketing upward in a fraction of a m oment At this point all the fear-induced adrenaline was coursing wildly through my body and the excursion became like the best roller coaster ride ever invented with great B5 whoop-de-doos but no track. The upward motion was very similar to the upward motion of an elevator but without bodily control. In the course of only a few seconds my body went from upside down to sideways to upside down and back to right side up again. Once cognition arrives after the first bounce, the feeling of being a rag doll on the end of a yo-yo string is overpowering. There is no thrill like being tossed around in a tug of war between gravity and a rubber band. In just a few long seconds the ride was over. Only the thrill of eating a carne asada burrito from Albedos can compare with the adrenaline rush of bungee cording. As I was being lowered to the ground, I was painfully aware that I did not keep my legs together during the fall. Michael Jackson would have been envious of my newly expanded singing voice. Practiced bungee jumpers are able to do flips and twists at each bounce but for first-time jumpers, just being tossed around like a Caesar salad is plenty of fun. I 'm now collecting rubber bands in preparation for a big jump off the balcony but my wife can rest assured. It isn't a macho thing. San Marcos 1.00 Any Drink Beach Party Carne Asada Taco Bar EVERY TUESDAY NIGHT 1020-50 W. San Marcos Blvd., (619) 471-2150 Cantina O n l y Must be 21-years-old �T he s earch for a p erfect slice There is a story about a young man named Daggo Seguie who spent his life looking for the perfect pizza. N o matter how hard he looked, the unfortunate Daggo could neverfindthe pizzaof his yearnings. Finally, a giant pizza pie in the sky with flashing pepperoni lights andagleaming cheesy hue lifted the unsatisfied lad from the Earth to a planet where pepperoni grows on trees and choice cheeses run in rivers through a crispy crust landscape. In the spirit of Daggo Seguie, we searched the supermarkets in a quest for the world's best frozen pizzas. For students and families that are on the go, few things are as tasty, quick and well balanced as a frozen pizza. On these incredible creations, one can find representatives of each food group. The crust makes up the bread group while the cheese satisfies the dairy requirement The veggies and meats, obviously,filltheir own important niches. Of course pizza also has the joy of that extra group known as the grease group. Knowing that many college students live on pizza and beer alone, we bypassed such médiocre fare as Totinos, Jenos and Celeste and honed in on some of the most unusual pizzas we could find. Each pizza was judged separately for its crust, cheeses, sauces and toppings. Each was rated on a scale of one to five pepperonis withfivebeing the maximum rating and one the lowest As a control for our experiment, we began with a Red Baron Special Deluxe Pizza. At 23.6 ounces it was almost double the size of the next largest pizza. With a price under $3, it was also the best value. Red Baron boasts a "Legwidary Crispy Crust" but we found this pizza's foundation to be the same old story of frozen pizza crusts. It was less crispy than all the others judged and had an uneventful flavor. Red Baron pizza sauce has about as much pizzazz as squished tomatoes. It was spread conservatively and lacked sufficient spice. In a dogfight with other pizzas over flavorful cheese, Red Baron gets shot down in a flash. The cheese tastes over-processed and lacks the m ~7PJ —7ffi~ (( OLLEGIATE (jjOURMET BY L ARRY BOISJOUE infamous Mozzarella stretch. It is with the toppings that Red Baron flies circles around other pizzas. The mushrooms had a juicy, freshly frozen appeal and the pepperoni slices were thick and intermingled with scrumptious chunks of sausage. Unfortunately these richly selected toppings are too sparse to be fully enjoyed. Red Baron Pizza barely gets off the ground with a one pepperoni rating. With better crust, sauce and cheese, Red Baron might have a chance of becoming a true pizza ace. /^/V We went to the store to buy a l l i l ® Wolfgang Puck frozen pizza but saw no woman with blonde hair and tight black jeans buying the last Wolfgang Puck frozen pizza. In fact, the shelves were packed with the hotly advertised product One reason for the abundance of Puck's pizzas could be the super-inflated price tag. Our 9.25-ounce Spago Original pizza costjust under $4 and was barely large enough for one serving. The Wolfman's original sourdough crust was too tough to be tasty. The pizza itself was so stiff, it could take someone'^ head off in a Frisbee competition. Aschief chef o fLos Angeles' famedSpago's restaurant, Wolfgang Puck should have known that pes to sauce does not a pizza make. The pale sauce lacked the f resh zing of traditional marinara. Even so, there was so little pesto on the pizza, I had to look hard twice to find i t In the cheese department, this pizza tops them all. Using fontina, mozzarella, parmesan and chevre cheeses, Puck hit upon a magnificent flavor combination. The mixture of cheesy flavors makes for a subtle yet spicy blend. The greatest disappointment came with the pizza's toppings.

These words clearly represent the photographs currently on display at the Museum of Photographic Arts in Balboa Park. A ptly n amed, " Camera a s , a Weapon: Worker Photography Between the Wars," these photographs illustrate the feelings that emanated throughout Europe between WWI and WWII. Most of t he photographs shown are from Germany, Czechoslovakia, Switzerland, the Soviet Union and Italy. The photographers themselves were either part of the AIZ (Worker* s Illustrated News), w hich was a magazine for photographers, or Der Arbeiter-Fotograf, which was a journal of German worker photographers. Both the magazine and the journal tried to capture the real images of the people in their countries. All of these photographs speak to the viewer with a somber, dismal, pathetic tone. To look at them is to realize how cataclysmic the war was to the people; not the soldiers nor the officers and politicians, but the impoverished villagers who only craved to feed their families. One photograph in particular cries out f or the needs of the people. "Give us this Day our Daily Bread," by Kurt Beck (Germany), pleads with the viewer. A circular tin bread box dominates the entire right hand por- tion of the photograph. On the lid of the tin box the words "Give us this Day our Daily Bread" gaily throws out hope, but hands, both young and old, grope for the empty box proving otherwise. The hope for G od's help in a futile situation seems worthless. There is no food to feed the hungry. Another artist, John Heartfield of Germany, worked for the AIZ where many of his photographs made the cover. One, named "O Little German Christmas Tree, How Bent Y our Branches Seem to Be!" conclusively asserts the change in Germany in the 1930s. Placed in a swastika stand, a bare Christmas tree sits alone in an austere room. The tree trunk is gaunt but orderly; its branches jutting out from organized positions become swastikas themselves. The text below the photograph reads, "Darre, the minister of food decreed thatfrom Christmas 1934 the growing of the Christianfirtree on German soil was forbidden as an alien intruder.

I llustration b y J O N A T H A N Y OUNG /PIONEER T own C enter c ompliments u niversity J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER The concept ofa new Town Center mirroring Cal State San Marcos may become a reality soon with the expected appointment of an architect by the end of November. "We hope to sign an architect within the month," San Marcos' Assistant City Manager Paul Malone said. Malone said the Town Center will be located on Twin Oaks Valley Road on the north side of Highway 78, opposite the permanent university site. "The Civic Center will have a vertical compliment to the university," Malone said in reference to CSUSM's clock tower. He said since San Marcos doesn't really have a downtown, the university and Town Center's construction, both visible from the freeway, would give an educational and civic presence. The center will include a library, city hall, community center, a theater, possibly retail offices, a hotel and houses. "If we lease some of this area to business," Malone said, "then it will pay for itself in the long ran." The city is working with the Koll Company SEE C I VIC/PAGE A8 NCTD switches to monorail track J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER Officials with the North County Transportation District agreed Thursday to match San Marcos' commitment to study a monorail system that will serve the permanent campus of California State University, San Marcos. NCTD board members agreed to spend $5,000 to study alternatives for a light-rail commuter train travelingfromOceanside to Escondido. The dollar figure matches the donation from the city of San Marcos which is pushing for a monorail system. The transit district's current plans include a trolley system similar to the San Diego trolley. This commuter line would use already in place train tracks crossing the North County area. Paul Malone, Assistant City Manager for San Marcos, said the current proposal only needs some additions to the rails to make the commuter line operational - such as more crossing signals and electric wires to power the trolley. The monorail system would require a whole new set of elevated tracks. The transit district has shied awayfromthe additional costs of elevating a new track line because of the costs involved. Malone, however, said NCTD will recover its investment Malone said the university has played a major role in getting the idea of a mass transit rail system in North County rolling. "The university is what makes it feasible this early in time," he said.

Threats of rain and increment weather loomed over Sunday's First International Festival, but worries abated when the weekend's storm front lifted, yielding to clear skies. Cal State San Marcos officials estimated that the event brought about 3,500 people eager to experience the atmosphere of a "Global Village." The festival began on schedule at 11 a.m., showcasing such performers as Papa John Creech, Chinese Lion Dancers and Mariachis. Local restaurants specializing in international cuisine and arts and crafts vendors were also on hand for the event. Sunday's festival brought to closure nearly a year of planning by the university. Funding for theevent came from the Itoman International Company last year, when a $500,000 endowment was awarded to the college. Itomanapportioned$50,000of the gift for the first festival and will put forth similar amounts over the next nine years to fund upcoming festivals. Carol Bonomo, co-chair of the Festival Committee, said the event met the college's expectations for the community population has shown enthusiasm for the university's arrival, principally because of such events as Sunday's festival. "This was a good gauge of the effectiveness of the university's mission," he said. "We have an opportunity to seejust how anxious the people in the region are over their college." The weekend's events, however, were threatened by rains on Friday and Saturday. Due to the high cost of rain insurance, the college made a last-minute decision to erect canopies over craft community participation. booths, food vendors and performance "We had primarily community stages.

University officials not certain when language requirement will commence RICHARD BEETH/PIONEER In attempting to fulfill its Mission Statement, Cal State San Marcos will be requiring competency in some foreign language. Officials, however, remain uncertain as to when the requirement will be implemented. Dr. Isabel Schon, director of the Center for Study of Books in Spanish and one of the founding faculty, says the importance of a language requirement cannot be understated. "B eing in Southern California with its large Spanish and Asian population,'' with Tijuana only 35 miles away,'and with the advent of the North American firee'trade agreement, it's more impbr&nt than ever to have' some Schorl says. Although the requirement Was waived last year, no decision has been made as of yet whether f t will b e CSUSM academic catalog, does not implemented this school year.

WEEN L ARRY BOISJOUE/PIONEER Barbara Pender and Pat Ward display the cover of Cal State San Marcos'firstyearbook, Tukut Yearbook due out Nov. 13 L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER Even though Cal State San Marcos' first academic year has come and gone, students, staff and faculty will have the opportunity to relive last year's experiences when Tukut, CSUSM's official yearbook, becomes available next month. Yearbook Editor Barbara Pender said t hat, according to contract stipulations with Taylor Publishing, the book will be completed and delivered by Nov. 13. Pender also said that Taylor, who is currently ¡Minting and binding the yearbook, could possibly finish its work on the book earlier than the November deadline. Last week, Pender and yearbook partnerPat Ward received a completed yearbook cover. Pender said she wanted the cover to represent the traditional values and new idealisms by which the university' sfirststudents were guided. To achieve this effect, Pender and Ward went to Orange County in May to meet with Taylor's design staff. Together they came up with a cover that has a marble-like texture laid adjacent to blue leather. The current emblem of the university, a drawing of a mountain lion, is embossed on the cover. "The cover represents the culmination of reality," Pender said. "We now have something tangible to represent our efforts. It looks damned good." Pender said the guts of the yearbook will consist of 72 pages ai?d an eight-page fold-outcenter spread. She said the first sixteen pages will be printed in full color with blue spot color printed throughout the book. Photographs for the yearbook were taken by Pender and Ward. Other pictures were garnered from the college's archives and files ofPioneer. According to Pender, 400 copies of the yearbook are being printed, even though only 239 were sold last semester. Of those sold, Pender said only 130 were bought by students. The others were purchased by CSUSM faculty and administration. "Once people see how beautiful this looks, i t's going to move fast," Pender said. Last semester, reservations for the yearbook were sold for $25. Because the participation was low, printing the book has a higher per-volume cost than it would have been with a higher printing run. As a result, those who want one of the 161 remaining copies will have to fork out $35. Pender said this price is still $8 below the cost of printing. Funding for the book was found through fund-raising, paid subscriptions and a $10,000donation from the University Foundation. Pender said that once those who pre-paid for the annual get their copies, the remainder of the yearbooks will be placed on sale through the Cashier's Office. Even though a date and location has not been formally set, Pender said she hopes to have a signing party after distribution. She said that because of uncertainties about when the yearbook will arrive, a party has not yet been planned. Pender said she is looking forward to next year's yearbook, but added that its look ajid content will be determined after reaction to the first -edition is gauged.

"We've always thought ahead of how to control traffic congestion," Malone said. Mass transit is the way the city decided to handle the traffic generated by the university'spresence. "Our compliments to the university administration for accepting this idea," Malone said. CSUSM is the only university in California to accept the concept of a trolley serving the campus. Malone said UCSD has refused the service for years. CSUSM, however, included it in the master plan of the university campus. "This is a real good example of the university and city relationship working together," Malone said. The commuter line's San Marcos stops include a station in front of Palomar College. A new track will be constructed between San Marcos Blvd. and Woodland Pkwy.; stops on this track will include the new site of San Marcos' City Hall complex and the university. The last stop within the city will be on Nordahl Road. San Marcos Mayor Lee Thibadeau offered the initial alternative study idea to the City Council. The transit district approved the commuter line Sept. 12 despite Thibadeau's objection to the trolley idea. The commuter line is scheduled to open in 1995, but may be delayed a few years according to Malone. CONTINUED FROM PAGE A2 the develop the center. "We've hired their expertise in management and development," Malone said. "We acknowledged early on that we need assistance with management." Malone said the city staff is not trained in building a large development such as the 60-acre civic center. Koll was chosen through a developers' competition. Twelve companies responded to the competition and after interviews and company reviews, four were selected to construct a conceptual drawing of the center. "Koll brings extensive, national experience in mixed use development to this project and is well respected in e industry for its ability to deliver both on time and within budget," Rick Gittings, City Manager of San Marcos, wrote in a newspaper column recendy. "It is exactly this kind of 4 performance' mentality that the city hopes to bring to development of the Town Center project" Currently, the site is being filled with dirt The entire 60 acres must be raised before construction can begin. Malone said the filling came earlier then planned, but the city was offered fill dirt at no cost. Another company needed to get rid of excess dirt and would only charge for hauling and compacting the dirt "It ended up being less then half of what we budgeted," Malone said. "We'rejust trying to spend the public's money wisely." IMMUNIZATIONS N EEDED... Adults forget disease dangers O ct 27 through Nov. 2 is National Adult Immunization Awareness Week. The American College Health Association and 53 other health care and consumer organizations as well as government health agencies are sponsoring this program to urge all adults to obtain the appropriate immunizations in order to prevent needless illness and even fatalities. Recently, college students have become aware of the need for measles vaccinations because of the mandatory requirements by institutions such as CSU San Marcos. On the other hand, many students still believe that the immunizations they received as a child will protect them for life. Others aren't certain of what vaccinations they generally need or which ones they have received or new vaccines that have become available recently. Here are some facts quoted from the American College Health Association's newsletter • Of the 27,672 measles cases reported in the U.S. in 1990,62,207 (22.5 percent) occurred in persons 20 years of age and older; 27 or 89 (30.3 percent) measles deaths provisionally reported in 1990 were HEALTHNOTES BY DR. JOEL GRINOLDS among 20 years of age and older. • In 1990 more than 1,000 rubella cases were reported in the U.S.; a provisional total of 23 children were born with congenital rubella-related birth defects. • American's lose more than 15 million work days annually as a result of illness from influenza although each year an effective influenza vaccine is available. • 200,000-300,000 new cases of hepatitis B infection occur in the U.S. each year, with 6-10 percent becoming chronic hepatitis B carriers although a safe, effective vaccine is available. • Up to one half of Americans over 30 years of age are inadequately immunized against tetanus and diphtheria. Despite the availability of safe and effective vaccines, there are still on average 50 cases of tetanus resulting in at least 10 deaths annually in the U.S. Students frequently don't realize that they are vulnerable and even at higherriskthan the general public for contracting certain vaccine-preventable diseases. The best example of this is the measles: however, influenza also can be rapidly spread throughout a college campus. Students who have chronic medical problems such as asthma, cardiac disease, diabetes, kidney disease are at highestriskfor influenza. Others who care for high-risk persons and health care workers should also be vaccinated. Although not considered high risk, any student who works with the public and especially with children should consider getting vaccinated in order to minimize the disruption of routine activities during an influenza outbreak. Immunizations work. The eradication of smallpox from the face of the Earth is a shining example. Consult your health care provider or S tudent Health Services for information regarding your need to be fully protected through available vaccines.

But for the employees at the Fallbrook Enterprise these stories aren't told around a campfire; they are told in the office. The place isn't mythical; it's in the office itself. And the stories aren't imagined. The Enterprise is haunted. Among the staff members of the weekly newspaper, a man, a woman and a girl roam the halls and rooms of the 50-year-old building. This is one of thefindingsof Alexandra Andrews, a psychic who visited the newspaper in 1989. "It's strange," said Donna Spicer, office manager for the Classified Advertising Department. She said some of the occurrences with ghosts are more weird than frightening. Spicer is quick to point out things that aren't usual mishaps. For instance, her typewriter - an old manual would be switched to triple space every night. Spicer always types in single space. "There are things that can't be attributed to anyone in the building," s picer S icer s aid,"... except tthe g host" " •• except he ghost Her coffee cup would be missing, would be missing, It u/nn1H tv* m m H ™ It would be ffound on the top shelf of a cabinet - in another room. A file would be gone. Spicer and her entire staff would look for it to no avail. This is not an instance of overlooking something, since it would be back where it was supposed to be at a later time. Computers would be turned on. Things would be missing. Items would be moved. "It's kind of an accepted fact that when something is missing, it was just the ghost," Spicer said. But that isn't the only proof of spiritual beings in the building. And it didn't take Andrew's readings to let them know either. "I did see the child," Texanna Schaden recalls. In 1987, before the building was remodeled and Schaden worked in a different department, she would come i na Sunday's to do work by herself. On her way in one day, she saw a girl with a long dress and long hair using a computer in one of the offices. After Schaden put her stuff down at her desk - a brief moment - she returned to P a tell the girl to not play with the macchine. hine, TU* The girl was gone. The computer was cold, as if no one had been there. "I didn't stay around too long after that," Schaden said. Schaden saw the girl the next weekend and again a few years later. Andrews does not sense any harm from the people. The ghosts just have fun. " It's s ort of m ischievous," Spicer said, "like a poltergeist." Sally Larsen, a former camera technician, stars in a lot of the stories told. She worked in the small, old camera room. Before the remodel, employees would have to walk a narrow, dark hallway, enter the dark room and fumble around tofindthe light switch. Without ghosts, the journey is frightening enough; but with the legends of spirits, the hallway becomes terrifying. In the small room, only big enough for maybe two people, Larsen has had hherrun-ins with two oofthe gghosts, er run-ins with two f the hosts. tu« i.. . ..i The only "menacing"» story is when the man appeared with Larsen and started throwing things down and unscrewing lights. The girl has pulled on Larsen's clothes and hair. Some stories interpret this as mischief. Others tells a tale of t rying to communicate with the living. Andrews says t hat one theory of ghosts includes ai* tempts by the dead to communicate with the living. Another theory, Andrews says, is the spirit stays when a person dies unexpectedly; the soul doesn't know it's supposed to leave. This second theory is used frequently when explaining how the three spirits reside at the newspaper facility. Before the newspaper offices were constructed, the site was home to a gas station. Spicer recalls a story of an W EEN explosion, but iis unclear why and explosion, but s unclear which f the three died. which oofthe three died. r i ^ Photographer Dick O'Brien tells a story of a flu epidemic taking the lives of the man and girl and the woman dying later. But through all the stories, one constant remains. The man and the girl died together; the woman years later. O'Brien is an old colleague of Andrews and arranged the first psychic reading of the Enterprise office. This first visit serves as the base to most ghost stories at the Enterprise. But the second visit by Andrews is not known by as many people and is not included in all the tales. About six months after the initial visit, Andrews returned with O'Brien and a friend one night Andrews went in alone. After a cup of coffee and 20 minutes of conversation, Andrews returned to O'Brien and hisfriend."Are they gone? What did you do?" they asked. "They will bother you no more," she replied. Spicer and Schaden said they have had nothing missing, moved or tampered with for over a year. Financing Your Education Can Be A Balancing Act.. Talk To Us About A Student Loan!

We have developed a reputation for not tipping well in restaurants. There are many reasons why women may not tip well. We may not be able to tip as well as men because we don't earn as much. That would be the kindest reason. But it's not a good one. If we can't afford to tip in the correct percentage to what we spend on our meal, we ought to go to a less expensive place. Another reason given is that many feel we have not been served as well as we should have been, so we pinch back on the tip. So why aren't we being served well? Many waitresses will freely admit they pay more attention to a table full of men than one peopled by women; because women don't tip well. Let's consider the domino effect this has on our reputations and on the service we receive as well. Waitresses don't serve womepweUbecaus^they don't expect much of a tip.

Yet, Thibadeau's wishing upon a star might not appease the County' s conservative critics who think the mayor is lost in dreamland. With his controversial conception of a trash-burning plant came the progressive idea of a trash-recycling center. Such a center would separate trash into recyclables and nomecyclables, thereby alleviating congestion in San Marcos' landfill. But the County's Board of Supervisors didn't buy the idea. It was just too controversial to deal with. Thibadeau's latest idea is to put a monorail system in San Marcos to serve a growing commuter population. If you've ever been to Disneyland, you know that monorails are, clean, quick and efficient But monorails are also expensive. Putting such a system in would require construction of an elevated track system and almost double the cost of the nearest commuter competitor, a tram. Finding the space for a monorail is another problem. A tram, similar to the system in San Diego, would run on tracks which already exist Putting in a system here would place minimal cost on the city. One reason for the mayor's zeal to add a progressive flair to San Marcos is the growing college community. As Cal State San Marcos grows, new businesses will arrive along with a largo- population. Thibadeau believes that by making a state-of-the art community, more and more of those businesses will be inspired to build here. In fact, the CSU system chose San M a^os because of that very poifentM. * B ui Thibadeau's enthusiasm is all too often criticized because ii conflicts with conventionality.

A person must be willing to share his/ her energies if an accurate reading is to be given. Mrs. Jenny likens psychic readings to hypnotism, in that a person can only be read if he/she wants to be read. "You have to have an open mind when you come in here," she says. Mrs. Jenny first recognized her extra-sensory talents when she was a child. She sees the ability as a natural God-given talent that has been passed down from generation to generation. She says her mother, grandmother and great grandmother held the talent in their lifetimes. "To us (ESP) is not so unusual. Other children would find the talent a little scary," she says. "But when you are born with it, it is very natural. It isn't something I developed or studied, rather it was passed down from generation to generation." Mrs. Jenny says that every person is born with some degree of extra-sensory perception, but many MRS. JENNY suppress the urge to use it. "Every human being on this Earth has ESP. A lot of people know they have it but are scared to talk about it," Mrs. Jenny says. "Now police and people in many directions turn to psychics." The office where Mrs. Jenny performs her readings is small and filled with a variety of different religious statues, paintings and symbols.

She sees all religions as paying homage and worship to the same god. Buddhism, Christianity and other religions all might have different names for the divine entity, but in the end all worship the same God. Ultimately, Mrs. Jenny says that the powers of God will overcome the forces of evil in the world. But she also says that there are hard times ahead for the future of humankind. She says the events in the Eastern Block countries are just a precursor of hard times to come. "There will be much more difficulty before it turns to getting better," she says. "It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. But when it does get better, there's going to be more love and harmony in communication with the whole world." She indicates that these worldwide changes will take place in the next four or five years. Mrs. Jenny says that most people in the world are sceptical about psychic powers. The majority Of the people she sees are nonbelievers who come in with a doubting frame of mind. She says that some of those people have to discover answers for themselves and find their own futures. In her office Mrs. Jenny has a picture of one person who experienced his future in a big way. The photograph depicts her meeting with former President Ronald Reagan. Mrs. Jenny said she met with Reagan during a psychic convention while he was still Governor of California.

At first cards consisted of a simple deck of playing cards. In the centuries since, tarot decks have become colorful and utilize highly artistic drawings to convey the feelings and predictions associated with each card. In the twentieth century, hundreds of different tarot decks are available. The cards are meant to pick up psychic energies from the questioner or querant The reader, or diviner, then lays the cards out and interprets the readers psychic energies through the cards. A 72-card deck of tarots has two different sections. The Major Arcana are 22 trump cards, usually numbered from 0 to 21 and displaying names such as "Death" or "The Fool." The Minor Arcana contain four suits of fourteen cards each, ace through 10 and four court cards: king, queen, knight and page. Usually, the suits are swords, wands, cups and pentacles. Each card in the deck has two meanings, decided by the position of the card to the diviner. When the card isright-sideup to the diviner, the soothsayer reads a "divinatory" meaning. Reverse meanings are read for cards upside-down to the diviner. Since most people are familiar with the cards of the Major Acana, here is the complete descriptions of each's meanings: 0 THE FOOL Divinatory Meanings: Thoughtlessness. Folly. Extravagance. Lack of discipline. Immaturity. Irrationality. Insecurity. Frivolity. Delirium. Frenzy. Enthusiasm. Naivete. Reverse Meanings: Bad decision. Indecision. Apathy. Hesitation, Negligence.

S EETAROT/PAGE B4 Fortune-teller brings future to the surface with cards Each of us experiences thrills on a day-to-day basis, when life brings a new shock around each turn of fate. In our minds we know that destiny can terminate our mortality in the instantaneous screech of car brakes or it can amass fortune and glory upon a long prosperous life. Discovering the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune can be almost as painful andfrighteningas those weapons' physical wounds. With this in mind, I met with Mrs. Jenny, a psychic located in Escondido, with mote than a little anxiety. Mrs. Jenny offers three types of readings: psychic readings based on perceptions of the individual as a whole; palm readings, which rely on the lines and formations of the entire hand; or tarot card readings. I figured that after three cups of • coffee, a psychic reading might reveal that I was hyperactive and would live a very short, frenetic life. The palm reading was out because I hate people to discover that I chew my nails. For me, the tarot card reading seemed the most mysterious of the three. If nófRing else, having one's future foretold by a deck of cards makes for delicious metaphor. Six years ago, I had a card reading from Mrs. Jenny which turned out to be remarkably correct I'm not saying I necessarily believe in the luck of the draw, but the - coincidence of occurrence with her predictions was astounding. Back then, Mrs. Jenny read that I would return to school, marry a faircomplected woman who would bear one or six of my children and start writing again. Much to my delight, all of these predictions either came true or are currently in progress (I am pretty certain my fair-complected wife will bear only one of my kids). I can't tell you the predictions at my recent go at psychic counseling (doing so might effect the outcome of the readings), but I can share with you my own sensory perceptions on the event. The room where the readings take place is filled with religious statues and pictures, making the jymosphere feel warm and friendly. | here are no crystal balls or dark shadows in the room, only amicable S BY L ARRY BOISJOLIE warmth. I sat only a few feet from the augur, facing her through the entire reading. On a table to her right sat two decks of cards. She chose an old, worn deck that, at first glance, appeared to be a normal stack of playing cards. However alT the cards (even the hearts and diamonds) were printed in black ink. On each card was etched a picture. Mrs. Jenny said the cards were one of two decks left in the world. I cut the deck three times, supposedly transferring my energies into the deck, then chose one stack for the reading. On the table, she laid out nine cards from the stack in three rows. The seer then explained the mean-* ing of each card. Many people misperceive psychic readings as a one-way conversation where the reader does all the talking while the readee nods in amazement. Actually, the psychic asks many questions to help guide the flow of predictions. With each card came questions. After I forwarded the answers to the best of my ability, Mrs. Jenny would proceed to analyze my response and tell me an event that was yet to come. Some critics maintain that psychics hold intuitive powers that are by no means extra-sensory. Their training simply conditions them to seek out what people need in an answer. Fortune-tellers simply tell them what they want to hear. Just face it, when customers hear a positive future they will be pacified and happy. The fortuneteller earns a few dollars and everyone is happy. I left the reading not really knowing if Mrs. Jenny's power lies with psychic intuition or years of training. Whatever it may be, it left me feeling a little more secure about the future and confident in myself. �T AROT CONTINUED FROM PAGE B3 Failure to control petty emotions.

Local Exhibits Show That Art Is Not Blind . .. People Are D EBBIE DUFFY/PIONEER Have you ever attempted working on a piece of art and had it fall apart in your hands? John Raggio! has. Raggio! loves working with clay, but his first try at creating a perfect clay pot ended up thrust against a wall. Deciding to createaworkablepiece of art out of a failed piece of clay pot, Raggio! developed faces with eyes, a nose and a large mouth with teeth. Raggio! says his mouths "open an avenue to spirit. Everything does not need to be perfect, the artist can enjoy the beauty of asymmetricalness." These pieces of art - these mouths - prove that art does not have to be perfect and symmetrical. Art can be fun and loved. Raggio! believes that "breaking away" from the symmetrical mold can help people "enjoy the avenue (they) are paving." Raggio! teaches this philosophy to his students, who range from 5 years old to adult. His love for living and his lust for art portrays itself in his work and in his students' works. Not all of Raggio's! art includes clay. One work is a large white piece of wood with a black wooden stand holding three shapes of different colors. The shapes are round, square and triangular; together they look like a rocket ready for launch with blue, yellow and red colors. The blue, red and yellow colors are also splashed on the white background, while the three shapes "break away" from the black stand. Raggio! calls this piece his "Primary TakeOff." His belief that one has to detach oneself from convention in order to enjoy the freedom of art is reflected in A clay sculpture adorns Raggio's studio (top) while Christo's umbrellas line the grapevine (above, left). this work. The colors break free from the black base and shoot upwards toward creativity and away from mediocrity. Raggio's favorite medium is clay. It moves, molds and shapes to his desires. Within his backyard he has large ceramic figures displayed in a circular pattern. These works come in different stages of his experimentations with clay. Some sculptures are coils of clay, some are loosely-shaped figures of w omen, s ome h ave c reative texturization. Raggio's! creations are his life. He calls them his "flowing forms" and he "lives as clean as he does." Raggio! SEE RAGGIOS/PAGE B6 photos by KEN BAURMBSTER and DEBBIE DUFFY/PIONEER Umbrellas' brings attention to nature K EN B AURMEISTER/PI O N EER It's Christo time! The French artist's current project "Umbrellas" consists of 3,100 blue and yellow umbrellas, erected in Japan and California simultaneously. Each umbrella stands 20 feet tall and weighs 488 pounds. Every time the art project is mentioned somebody would inadvertently come up with a brilliant "why?" and thousands of ways the $26 million cost of the project could be better spent. "Why not feed and/or help the poor" was the favorite response. What people do not realize is that Christo is exactly doing that. He is helping the people poor in openmindedness by feeding them something for which they have absolutely no capacity ofdigesting. He is showing that the human eye will eventually get so accustomed to a bridge, building, river gorge, islands, or rolling hills that it turns blind. In Paris he wrapped Pont Neuf, a bridge spanning the river Seine, in pink cloth and rope. Christo wrapped something the Parisians were so used to as not to take any notice anymore. SEE CHRISTO/PAGE B6 �B6 P IONEER /TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2 9, 1991 ACCENT CHRISTO RAGGIO! CONTINUED FROM PAGE B5 CONTINUED FROM PAGE B5 * All they saw was something in the shape of the bridge, but not the bridge itself. After removing the wrap, Parisians started to notice the bridge again. After all, it was the bridge that Christo took away from them for three weeks. The same motives generated the inspiration for "Umbrellas." I have driven the Grapevine often, and I realized after seeing the 1,760 yellow umbrellas how "blind" I became to the beautiful countryside. Changing the landscape so dramatically with those umbrellas is more powerful than hiding i t With something hidden, the memory of the original is not distorted. With the original distorted and in plain view, one cannot remember what the unmanipulated version looked like. The next time I drive across the Grapevine without the umbrellas will be a new experience. I will see a new landscape. The "Umbrellas" project's gigantic and timed scope parallels its eyeopening mission. The project takes place in the western, as well as the eastern hemispheres. Even the Hubble space telescope looking through apair of binoculars could see only half of the project at a time. Driving through the project, only about a quarter is actually visible. Christo used 1,760 umbrellas in California - as many yards there are in a mile. The Japanese segment is 75 north of Tokyo. Here they are 60 north of Los Angeles. Each segment's separation equals 16 time zones, Christo oversaw the umbrellas' unfurling on the same calender day and time. Tokyo is 16 hours ahead of Los Angeles; Christo simply opened the umbrellas in the early morning in Japan, flew to L.A. and opened the parasols here exactly the same time as in Japan. The coordination and planning of this little time-zone play was perfect For about IS miles {he umbrellas DISCOUNT JUR FARES AROUND THE WORLD & ACROSS THE USA! teaches that life and art are not so far apart We need academics, but we also need our brains to create. He believes that everyone must learn to use both parts of the brain in order to understand that life does not have to be perfect, but loved. Raggio! woks with an after-school art program in San Diego to show children that art does not have to be perfect, but that they "have to learn to use their own personal computers." He is called the "clay man" in the program. He also is having a one-man show named "Breaking Through" on the first Saturday in February at the Art Site Gallery in San Diego. Raggio's! gallery and studio are located at 3630 California Street, San Diego. His love for art and his outlook on life are stepping stones away from a world of symmetrical conformity. dot the landscape in a seemingly entropic order. Some are so far away, as to be only ochre points on ridges; others cast yellowish shadows on the freeway because they are mounted on overpasses. One area of the "Umbrellas" meandered through a cow and horse pasture. Under one large oak tree a dozen or so cows enjoyed the shade, contently chewing their cud, completely ignoring the symmetrical shadow cast by the umbrellas. Wherever umbrellas stand close to parking areas, visitors congregate under them, enjoying picnics. It seems all enjoy the environmental art. I enjoy it too. Not only am I thoroughly impressed by the "Umbrellas," I also came up with an answer for all those critics and their favorite "why" question. Because! Art does not need a rational, art may exist for art's sake. So what if it costs $26 million. It is Christo's money, and he can do with it what he wants. We have to encourage this type of "outside thinking." We can't afford not to.

Maybe I like them so much because they illustrate humankind's neverending battle with death; where the dead e scape t he b ounds of t he netherworld to seek out and consume the life from the living. Unlike vampirefilms,where death is glamorized and given graceful, composed elegance, zombie films depict death as ghoulish, clumsy and decomposed. Death is represented as a mindless, plodding state of .hunger. Perhaps I like zombie movies because I have dated so many similar creatures. Notice how the behavior of most males at World Series time identically emulates the behavior of the undead. I have never seen a zombie movie thatratesparticularly high in the acting category. The majority of the players are extras painted over in wraithish white or ghoulish green who are instructed to amble about clumsily in search of human flesh. If you are a video enthusiast willing to sacrifice acting, directing and cinematography fox a good scare, then George Romero's living dead trilogy Juanitas Taco Shop • Tacos . • Burritos • Enchiladas • Tostados • Combinacions r ms? as as as- l | § W ! | N D mmm a * m^rn^m^mmm BY S H E I L A COSGROVE might just do the trick. Beginning with 'Night of the Living Dead' in 1968 and ending with 'Day of the Dead' in 1985, Romero established himself as the chief purveyor of zombie lore. His trilogy explored the aspects of interplay between the dead and the living as no other ' B' horror films have. When Romero made 'Night of the Living D ead' he was a Hollywood nobody with a tight budget Even though color film was available, Romero chose black and white film because of its cheaper price and its natural eerie contrast. The film centers around seven survivors trapped in a country house (the owners had been eaten) while minions of zombies pound on the doors, walls and windows eager for a hot meal. The seven captives spend their entire jail term bickering amongst themselves about how to escape from being the main course. 3 R le "1" Fish o d«" 1 II T c s I I Tacos ao with guac, cheese, lettuce & salsa II II II L.??í.JL 2 fori 1 I I I 'Night of the Living Dead* moves at a taught pace that pounds on the viewers as relentlessly as the zombies at the door. The film becomes a metaphor for the conflict between life and death. What really sets the movie above all others of its genre is Romero's continual use of irony .In at least three key plot spots, the director uses ironic situations to confirm that reason and sanity will never be sufficient shields against death. Romero's use of irony is always surprising and often the c atalyst f or a nervous chuckle. T he m ovie's best part comes when the ghouls munch on t he liver and intestines of an unfortunate victim. One zombie is even shown gnawing on a detached hand. If you thought 'Night of the Living Dead' was gruesome, wait till you get a load of 'Dawn of the Dead'. This 1979 sequel came to the screen 11 years after the first film and is easily the most fun in the series.

But in a zombie movie, who the hell cares about moral debates? We want blood and guts. Romero spends too much time with overblown talk and not enough time with action. I found myself wishing in vain for a zombie to jump out of the shadows and grab a survivor. Our resident mad scientist trains one zombie, Bub, to suppress his urge to eat people. The zombie is even able to use a gun and play a Walkman. One of the movie's highlights has Bub cruising the hallways like a 'High Noon* Gary Cooper with six-gun in hand. The ghouls themselves are drooling, oozing masterpieces of make-up special effects. Unlike the other two C omedy films, they look as if they are actually rotting. Unfortunately, these ghouls don't get much chance to roam until the end of the movie. My favorite scenes are when a zombie tears off the legs of a military man and when a disemboweled ghoul's guts fall to the floor when he tries to walk. If you do decide to rent Romero's living dead trilogy for Halloween, watch them with the lights on and make sure your snacking foods aren't soft and squishy. I give Romero's Living dead trilogy five blood-curdling screams. With such classics as 'Night of the Living Dead' and 'Day of the Dead', you can't go unseated. Now You Can...

This year they planted over 40 acres of the "Big Mac" pumpkins and have imported more than 240,000 pounds of the jack-o-lantern variety of pumpkin. Every school day from the first of October to Halloween, 600 to 1,000 school children romp through the fields picking out their favorite pumpkins. Most of these _ _ _ students are from pre-school to third grade. Each of them gets a great jack-o-lantern pumpkin for only $2 (The general public is charged $2.25 for the regular pumpkin and 20 cents a pound for the "Big Macs"). Not only school children enjoy picking out their pumpkins, but so does mosteveryoneelse. Seniors stroll the fields helping their grandchildren and reminiscing about the pumpkins they used to grow.

New phone system to open up CSUSM L ARRY B OISJOLIE /PIONEER Students at Cal State San Marcos will have more ways to "reach out and touch someone," thanks to a business agreement signed with Northern Telecom and Pacific Bell last Monday. Under the agreement, the two companies will donate $1 million worth of state-of-the-art equipment and expertise over the next three years to link the CSUSM permanent campus site with educational and research institutions around the world. Potential innovations made possible by the fiber-optic system include distance learning using two-way interactive video; electronic study groups with students from around the world; simultaneous computer access to images, sound and text; and voice-to-text and textto-voice translations. The system will allow students to simultaneously interact via television monitors with classrooms as far away as China, Russia and Japan, and as close as the area's community colleges.

The following two paragraphs contain the correct figures and rankings. Six California State University campuses are ranked among the to 10 of public comprehensive universities nationwide in total amount of private gifts received in 1990. Among 151 universities surveyed, four CSU campuses led the nation: San Diego Slate University with $10.8 million; CSU Long Beach with$ 10.6 million; Cai Poly San Luis Obispo with $ 10.4 million; and CSU Fresno with $7.9 million. Cai Poly Pomona was ranked seventh with $5.6 million and San Jose State University was ninth with $5.2 million. Last withdrawal date set The last day to withdraw with a "W" grade is Oct. 14.

Business Partners program postponed one semester JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER Dean of the College of Business Bernard Hinton has postponed the implementation of Cal State San Marcos' exclusive Business Partners program until next spring in which time the university will rewrite a portion of the planned curriculum. In a letter dated Sept. 13, Hinton wrote the business partners to inform them ofa "construction delay we have experienced." He cited three reasons for the delayed implementation in his letter: to integrate the alternative of internships into the mentor structure; the curriculum design was not completed; and manuals and guidelines were not completed. "The obvious major improvement or change from a student point of view is the added intern feature," Hinton said. "I think that will be a very popular alternative - one that will enhance student placement" In the original plan, students would be matched with a mentor drawn from the business community. In this student/mentor relationship, the student is given the opportunity to become involved in resolving real-world problems. ' ...we need to finish the design of our new curriculum before implementing the mentoring feature.' B ERNARD H I N T O N / B U S I N E S S D EAN The mentors, part of the four-level Business Partners program, responded with additional needs. "We discovered that far more companies than we anticipated wanted students to serve as interns," Hinton said. Adding the intern option sent the College of Business back to the drawing board to write an updated curriculum. "Because we intend the business mentoring program to be an integral part of our curriculum, and to serve as a significant source of feedback on the success of the curriculum, we need to finish the design of our new curriculum before implementing the mentoring f eature...." Hinton wrote in his letter to the businesses. "We designed this program to integrate with the final curriculum of the university," Hinton said. The program has to go through "somewhat extensive review process." After the curriculum is authored by the dean, approval must be obtained by campus faculty members, university officials and the Chancellor's Office, respectively. "Right now, i t's in the hands of the faculty," Hinton said. In writing the program, Hinton had to write something that would meet accreditation and be innovative for the 21st century. " It's very exciting," he said, "from a student point of view. "If you like what we have, you're SEE PARTNERS/PAGE A7 Donors could buy building names with a cool million contribution What's in a name? T his c ommon q uestion w as amended at the S ept 19 University Council meeting when Cal State San Marcos President Bill Stacy asked, "How much is a name worth?" If the you're a building at the permanent CSUSM campus site under construction off Twin Oaks Valley Road, the answer could be $ 1 million. University officials are seeking benefactors willing to exchange the sum for the opportunity to name future and existing academic halls, laboratory buildings, baseball fields, the central campus bell tower and a future university president's house. Stacy said the contribution would "make a nice memorial" and would forever link the benefactor's name with the university. The only named building on the permanent campus, the William Craven Administration Hall, is named for the California state senator who signed the bill which brought CSUSM into existence. The academic building and laboratory complex slated to open in fall 1992 still remain nameless. For the most part, donor funds will be used to support academic or student services housed in the named building. Since the state has already allocated funding for the construction of the permanent campus, monies received won't be used to actually build the facilities. Funds could also be used to purchase needed equipment and pay for professors. • Stacy said all these needs could be fulfilled without spending even a dollar of the donated funds. Money received will be placed in an interestbearing account which will supply needed dollars for services. "In perpetuity, the $1 million would be spitting out interest every year," Stacy said. " It's a steady stream of dependable money." The university is also seeking smaller donations which would give benefactors the opportunity to name classrooms, a student quad or start a scholarship fund. "The most compelling need for this universityrightnow is scholarship money," Stacy cited. He said student loan programs develop slowly. "A lot ofkids fall through thecracks because we don't have a financial-aid program like we should." Larger donations to CSUSM might be used to actually construct campus buildings that the state refuses to fund. An auditorium planned to accompany the university's performing arts center, for instance, won't be funded by the state. Donationscouldhelp to financially kick such projects o ff, while prompting state legislators to f und them. �A4 PIONEER/TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1,1991 NEWS C ampus Calendar Workshops Planned A.S.

State anticipates half million students by century's end Growth projections for the California State University indicate that the CSU could surpass half a million by the year 2000. The CSU is the country's largest system of senior higher education. In the last 10 years, enrollment has grown from 313,850 in fall 1980 to 369,053 in fall 1990.Thcnumbersareexpected to grow even more drastically with the increase in population at Cal State San Marcos. Fifteen years from now, classroom hallways could be bulging with at least 477,900 students, and perhaps as many as 550,000students, depending on different scenarios. What could drastically affect those numbers is financing. The state's budget woes - caused by a slumping economy, dwindling tax revenues and increased demand for services - is the single most telling ingredient in how the CSU will grow into the future. Historically,theCSU has beenable to meet student demand, basically through adequate state funding. At this point in time, however, student demand is exceeding resources, thus causing unmet demands. California's promise to all qualified students that it willfinda place for them in higher education could be broken in the near future if sufficient funds are not available. "We have to question seriously whether CSU can continue to enroll all eligible students with this decreased level of funding," said Chancellor Barry Munitz. 44 At some point, and we may reach Local Volunteers Selling... CULTURAL GIFTS > CLOTHES INSTRUMENTS •SCULPTURES JEWELRY COLLECTABLES it this year, we could find it impossible to fulfill our mission of providing a quality education to every student who enters our doors. For this reason, we are taking a close look at the budget process and how it affects our entire operation,*9 Munitz said. If the system were forced to deny entrance to students because of lack of money, not enough faculty and fewer services and classes, growth projections for the coming decade will be revamped, Munitz said. According to a report prepared by the Division of Analytic Studies, four major factor have driven CSU growth this past decade: • Asian, Filipino, Mexican and other Latino immigrant and refugee children entered the state's public schools in record numbers. • These students in turn entered higher education as first-time freshmen in unanticipated numbers. • The annual fk5w of undergraduate transfers to the CSU held steady at 60,000 despite downturns of community college enrollments. • The CSU improved its persistence rate; that is, more students are successfully progressing toward a degree. Five scenarios of enrollment demand have been made using different sets of assumptions about how these four factors could influence future enrollment levels. All the scenarios begin with the premise thatpopulation growth, as projected by the Department of Finance, will yield larger numbers of incoming students. rff In the first, it is assumed that all enrollment patterns - transfer rates, freshman participation, persistence would remain the same. Under that condition, enrollment would rise to 477,900 by 2005. In the second scenario, improvement in persistence rates is assumed to continue, with enrollment hitting 497,500. In the third, it is assumed that nonwhite high school graduates will enter the CSU as freshmen at the same rate as white graduates, leading to ah enrollment of 516,700. In the next scenario, improved transfer rates for nonwhite students would increase estimates to 527,300. The final scenario presumes full ethnic parity in high school graduation rates for a top estimate of 550,200. Recent forecasts by the Department of Finance indicate that public school enrollment will reach 5 million this fall, or a 4 percent increase. Through the rest of the decade, the department estimates that figure will reach 7.2 million. 'These students," Munitz said, "are the future of the CSU and the state. To be able to grow and find a place for them, we need a better, more stable financial base. We cannot continue to layoff faculty and staff, cut class sections, increase class size and fail to buy books and equipment "If we want our economy to recover, and if we expect California to continue as a leading force in the world, higher education has to once again become a priority in this state."

"For nearly 70 years, Soviet communism substituted the myths of people's democracy, socioeconomic equality, and proletarian internationalism for the reality of political freedom, economic liberty, and national independence. "As long as the party leadership was able to retain monolithic control over the instruments of coercion and communication, these myths concealed the elitism, economic inequality, and nationalism that were its true character," Zwick says. He says that Soviet communism was an economic disaster. The nation was unable to keep up with the standards of living in market-oriented Western nations and some ThirdWorld nations.

In an effort to help students and staff at Cal State San Marcos sort out the complex climate of the Soviet Union, Dr. Peter Zwick, professor of Political Science, addressed acrowded room of spectators eager for enlightenment on Russia's problems. Zwick, who has authored two books, several book chapters and a handful ofjournal article on the Soviet Union, is the leading expert on Soviet affairs at CSUSM. " ... (this address) captures what I consider to be the most important process at work in the world today: the simultaneous collapse of Soviet Communism and the Soviet Empire," Zwick says. Zwick speculates that recent events in the Eastern Block are "merely a prologue" to future revolutionary change. He says the developments now occurring in the Soviet Union were not as totally unexpected as critics have suggested. "Like geologists waiting for the "big one' that will hit California some day, we knew it was coming, but we didn't know when," states Zwick.

According to Zwick, the end of the Soviet Union marks the beginning of a "New World Order." He says that, apart from Bush's interpretation of that term, the new order will be an economic gauge of international power. "Henceforth, there will be a truly multipolar world of economic actors in which the United States will play a significant, but not dominant role," Zwick says, adding that this system will make it far more complicated to "identify adversaries and partners." Zwick warns that the collapse of the Soviet Union might pose dangers to the world that were not present during the Cold War. Russia will continue to be a nuclear power, but so might its republics. Local conflicts, therefore, have the potential to become global ones. "The Cold war was dangerous, but it was stable and relatively peaceful from the Atlantic to the Urals," he says. "The post-Cold War era promises to be both dangerous and unstable. " ... while the short-term results of the revolution we are witnessing may be to our liking, the long-term process will be difficult, painful, and prolonged, and the results of the collapse of Soviet communism and the Soviet empire is unlikely to be domestic and international harmony." extent of Soviet economic retardation, the Soviet leadership doggedly kept its citizens isolated from the rest of the world and carefully edited the picture that they received about conditions elsewhere," cites Zwick. Adding to the high costs of maintaining the Russian system, the Soviet Union took responsibility for other countries which Zwick refers to as "the worst economic basket cases in "A Vision Limited Only the world." Combined with the arms race, the Soviet Union became evenBy One's Imagination" tually bankrupted. Zwick says that Mikhail Gorbachev was the catalyst which sent revolutionary events in motion.

Exposure to the sun's ultraviolet radiation is known to promote three types of skin cancer. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common and causes 500,000 cases annually. It is usually localized and curable. Squamous cell carcinomas cause 100,000 cases annually and, if diagnosed early, can be curable. Melanoma, although causing only 35,000 cases annually, is dangerous and if not caught early can be fatal. The incidence of both squamous cell and melanoma is increasing faster than all other cancers. Many scientists attribute some of this increase to the thinning of the ozone layer, allowing greater penetration of ultraviolet radiation. Also, some scientists think that people in general are spending more time in the sun in recent years thus increasing the cumulative e ffect Another group thinks sunscreens may actually be contributing to the Co, t a £ j jg burns as a child or teenager, thai increases your risk.

Next week voters are asked to give their approval on key issues during Gal State San Marcos' third student election.We've learned, mostly through Pioneer, about the importance of raising student fees and the sad financial status of the Associated Students. But, with elections less than a week away, an interesting question comes to mind: Where are the posters, buttons and banners? Granted, in a university housed in a shopping center environment, overindulgent campaigning is scarcely possible. Yet, with the importance of ballot measures A and B, one would expect at least a cursory flier or two. Obviously the A.S. Gouncil is not seriously considering the importance of Monday and Tuesday's vote. They must be taking it for granted that students see issues regarding fee measures as they do. At the Election Committee meeting formed to set guidelines for the upcoming elections, not one A.S. Council member was present Student Affairs Vice President Ernest Zomalt said the A.S. wished to remain removed from the guideline-setting procedure so it could concentrate its efforts on campaigning. So where are those efforts manifested? Last semester there was no A.S. at election time to communicate the importance and meaning of fee measures to students. As a result, students voted down a crucial measure which would enable the A.S. to collect fees, but approved, albeit narrowly, a $15 fee measure. The cause for such mixed messages could be that students simply didn't understand what the enabling ballot measure was saying. If the case is such, then the A.S.'s task is e asy... promote understanding. The A.S. has written paragraphs explaining each ballot measure, but students probably won't even see those clarifying statements until they vote. By that juncture the effort might be to late. Would it be t oo much trouble to place fliers explaining ballot measures in the Student Lounge or Library? If more information was STAFF EDITORIAL spread by the A.S. on the seats available in the Council, then perhaps more students would have applied for candidacy for the open positions. As it stands now, only two candidates are vying for one of the three seats. The alarmingly low voter turnout at other universities could be attributed, in part, to the difficulty of information dissemination at large campuses. No doubt CSUSM will someday be faced with the same difficulties. . However, since CSUSM remains relatively small, this problem should not exist. One would expect the A.S. to be, at the very least, overly aggressive on the campaign trail. After all, the A.S. has a $12,900 debt to repay to the University Foundation. Money needed to pay that loan back won't come from nowhere. Bake sales and refreshment booths wouldn't even pay the interest if the loan came from a bank. Judging from the effort the A.S. is putting into this campaign, it is doubtful they would even be able to pull a bake sale off. If either Measure A or B does not pass, then the A.S. has only itself to blame. Hopefully in the next week they can put out at least a minimal effort of promoting ballot understanding. OUR VIEWS P IONEER /TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1991 U.S. foreign policy: a two-lane freeway America has always been schizophrenic about foreign policy: don't do anything during peacetime, and then leap out with military might to right the world when it misbehaves. This may be described as a two-lanefreeway: isolationism merged with reactionism. Unfortunately, the tolls on this road keep proving too expensive. George Bush, the United States' most visible and effective foreign p olicy president since R i c ha r d N ixon, has asked for approval to "fasttrack" an economic unification of North America PreGUEST COLUMNIST dictably, isolationists complain that American jobs will be lost, and they oppose these free-trade talks. There are some reasons to be concerned, granted. The term "fast-track" is borrowedfromthe legal community, wherein it describes a procedure replete with strict deadlines to insure speedy trial. In this instance, far less is prescribed. Bush seeks carte blanch to negotiate a comprehensive pact that Congress will later say, yes or no, to. At worst, a bad agreement could be approved without the full democratic process (i.e. consensus building) checking its errors. Most specifically, short-term benefits will go south. The initial benefits will mushroom in Mexico's climate of cheap labor, relaxed real estate regulations, vast natural resources, and ecological indifference. At first, America's healthful economy will be nursing the emerging Mexican infrastructure. In the long run, roughly one or two American jobs of a middle-class prospect or better will develop for every four Mexicans in a blue-collar position. In the very long run, that is the best news for the United States, promising more of what America's new economy should be composed of: service industries - like lawyering, teaching, and management - leading the information-management age. Another long-term benefit ignored by the isolationist voices (who would also have us "do more" about the flood of undocumented aliens straining California's infrastructure) is enabling us to handily influence - and jump-start - the economic emergence of the Hispanic block of nations. Nations that are capable of supporting their people's income and political aspirations do not have exodus problems. If a remote goal of United States' foreign policy remains a world of democratic free-markets, Bush's proactive intentions are on the right track indeed. Let's hope that Congress permits it to be fast enough.

A T HOUGHT: "Where lies the final harbor, whence we unmoor no more?" HERMAN MELVILLE In a recent letter 'Angry Student Recounts Registration Woes' (anonymous) the writer expressed concerns that he/she was mistreated and misinformed regarding the registration process for students returning to CSU, San Marcos after "stopping out" one semester. We all sympathize with the frustration experienced by the student(s). We are here to work with any or all of them so that they can understand and be supported by our system. Perhaps some brief definitions and explanations might help others who plan to "stop out" in the future. 1. Students who maintain their enrollment from term to term are defined as continuing students. 2. Students who break their enrollment are defined as returning students (anonymous was a returning student). 3 .0f the 70 students eligible to return this fall without reapplying for admission, only eight chose to do so. 4. Students who plan to "stop out" should file a Leave of Absence form. If they do, they will receive registration materials at the same time continuing students receive theirs and will be eligible for early registration. 5. Students who don't file Leave of Absence forms will not be eligible for early registration. These students will receive registration materials only if they make a specific request to Admissions and Records. They will be eligible for registration during the schedule adjustment period only. I hope this information provides some clarity with regard to the "stop out" process. We believe this system provides a fair and equitable process for differentiating between students who break their enrollment with every intention ofreturning the following semester from those who simply walk away. ERNEST ZOMALT/VICE PRESIDENT STUDENT AFFAIRS A.S. membership: fee excessive tax In the last issue of Pioneer, there was an article about the upcoming Associated Student Government elections (Enabling measure reintroduced). The A.S. is calling upon us to approve three ballot measures and to elect three representatives to fill the three unoccupied seats. We should carefully analyze the three ballot measures along with the debt the A.S. has incurred. The first ballot measure we should examine is Measure B. This ballot measure would allow the A.S. to assess a $15 membership fee per semester. If you, the students, believe that $15 being involved for pay and/or fringe benefits. The other major concern I have is about the $12,920 debt that the A.S. is facing. The A.S. government, in its infancy, has already placed the government in the red. It makes me wonder if this will be a continuous pattern throughout the A.S. government operations or if this is just a one-time occurrence. In conclusion, I believe that the students should do three things. One is to vote "no" on PUBLIC FORUM Measure C on Oct 7 and 8. The second thing that students should do is examine the other two per semester is not an excessive tax, then you measures and let their conscience decide how should vote "yes" on Measure B. they should vote. Finally, students must call on It appears to me that the A.S. is unaware of the A.S. government to introduce a constituthe financial burden that this fee would place on tional amendment which would require the A.S. students, a burden that most can ill afford. government to have a balanced budget. Furthermore, if you believe as I do that $15 per Only the students, through a popular vote, semester is an excessive tax especially when the should be allowed to incur debt university fees were recently increased by 20 percent and when the economy is lagging, then W ILLIAM R .

If you're a person who feels that a collection of a fee is not necessary, then vote "no" on Measure B.

It might have something to do with the fact that the handsome protagonist wears tights and has bulging muscles. Or maybe they're just plain unbelievable (whammo!) fun. Ever since Hollywood came into existence, comic book heroes have been a staple of cinematic diet. The past twelve years have brought us such Strong men as 'Superman' (I; n , III and IV), 'Tarzan' (Bo Derek yuk-yuk version or dignified 'Greystoke'), "The Rocketeer', 'Swamp Thing' (sequel thing too), 'Dick Tracy', 'Conan the (beefy) Barbarian' and 'Conan (the beefy) Destroyer', 'Popeye', 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' (regular or ^ with ooze), 'Flash Gordon' and, of course, the over-rated 'Batman.' Each summer we can bet to see at least one new hero and maybe a return engagement of an old one in the theaters and video stores. And why not? The storylines are already there in the comic stores so nobody need worry about (gasp!) a good script. Besides, most movie-goers need a steady diet of special effects and comic books supply a great framework for them. In my uncanny, superhuman opinion (bof!), the best of the comic-turned-movie crop lies in the first two 'Superman' movies. My first experience with 'Superman' was in the back of my mom's stationwagon (clunk!) when I was a teenager at the drive-in. There I was, with my squirrelly little brother eating popcorn, halfbelieving a man could fly and save Who do you love to hate the most? the world.

Lex Luthor was played cunningly by Gene Hackman in the Superman movies. His intricate, devious plans were always one step ahead of Superman.

The store holds 500,000 titles Marvel and DC, the two largest between its walls. publishing firms, also use clever gimmicks to boost investment Marines buy comic books that values of their products. The current issue of Marvel's 'X-men' uses five alternating covers on the same story to get collectors scrambling for all issues. Each cover will be worth a different amount depending on artistic and esthetic value. The iE* issue has all five covers and sells for $3.95. DC Comics now runs a saga entitled, 'War of the Gods' which crosses over 23 different book titles concurrently. The story features heroes like Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman who battle the gods. Rumor has it that Wonder Woman will meet her demise at the close of the saga. If serious collectors hold the entire series, itcould be worth major money in the future. Graf said his most valuable comic for sale i s a volume of 'The Incredible Hulk* worth $300. He also holds a significant personal collection. Graf claimed he was once offered $80,000 for the first issue of Superman. Along with the Superman comic, Graf also holds the first issue of 'Batman.' Even though the old standby superheroes such as the Man of Steel and the Black Knight yield the biggest profit for collectors, their popularity has waned as of late. The new rage of superheroes is mutants — usually with an "X" in their titles. 'X-Men', 'X-Force' and 'X-Factor' now lead the market in sales, said David Descoteau manager of Escondido's Comic Gallery. "The 'X* m the title originated from thasuperheroes having an extra gene," said Descoteau. "Basically i t's an excuse for Marvel to explain their supernatural powers." Comic Gallery scored a big sale a few years ago when it unloaded a 'Spiderman # 1' for $900. The store's most valuable comic now is 'Avengers # 4', worth $400. Whereas once comics were geared for children, they now strive to reach adult audiences as well. The characters have gotten sexier and the plots more sophisticated as readers grew with them. Descoteau said "children have a lot of other things to spend their allowance on," like video games and television. Comic books have trouble keeping up with the fast pace of electronic mediums. Comic books rarely have a complete story between their pages. Each book is like a portable installment of a soap opera. Batman is now on his third Robin, Superman is engaged to Lois Lane, characters die and come back and sex is no longer a taboo.

Well, if you're really a sleuth and have a hankering to find a murderer, then the Murder Mystery Theatre at Lake San Marcos cart put you on the case. A delightful, fun and entertaining time can be had if you dare to enter. You will be seated by one of the theatre's mannerless shifty-eyed derelict characters that may be a murderer. When the show begins with a murder, you are par t of it, like it or not. Audience participation is a m ust No one seems guilty at first, but soon enough you will find yourself suspecting someone— the Madame, or maybe the piano player—of foul play. Be careful, clues are all over, and if you don't find them all, you won't get the real culprit. ! In between the acts, the derelict cast ajlows you to eat, but don't put your guard down. One of them may sit choose to sit beside you and eat your dinner, or maybe kidnap your partner. Watch your back and keep your eyes out for the murder weapon—it may be pointed at you. Everything at the Mystery Theatre is afoot with fun. The audience participates because the actors include every person in the audience. Instead of performing on a stage, the actors flow by the tables of onlookers, including them in the plot and murders. Before the show begins, the audience receives a passport with everyone in the cast's name and profession imprinted upon it. Clue sheets are everywhere. The dinner presents itself between the acts, with four courses, soup, salad, main dish and dessert. Every time a course is served, the audience must prepare for the next act, writing down clues and discussing motives. Everything in the theatre is shrouded in black and white, including the tables, the actors and the walls. However, don't be deceived; clues to solve the murder are not so simple. The difficulty lies in guessing the correct murderer, and answering why. At the end of the play, the winning name is chosen (the one who guesses the murder correctly), and that person receives a black and white tee shirt with "Get a clue" and "I solved the Mystery at the Mystery Cafe," imprinted on them. Now showing at Lake San Marcos Resort is 'Murder at the Cafe Noir,' written by David Landau-and directed by Kimberli A. DavisBaker. Shows run every Friday and Saturday night at 8 p.m., and the dinner and show cost between $30 and $34.

Mann assumes a hoarse, croaking voice with just enough of a tinge of lecher to make your skin crawl. • This guy is FUNNY! Just when you are starting to think, "Who the hell is this weirdo?" it starts to get good for you. You realize that the things this draconian figure is saying are really outrageous. He's impossibly rude and impossible to resist. Mann uses his role as the melodramatic evil Anthony Cairo as a vehicle for a natural comic flair. His obvious enjoyment of this role is con- tagious. Although Mann has studied acting in Los Angeles, he comes to the Mystery Theatre as a local talent. He graduated from Vista High and studied Drama at Palomar under instructor Pat Larmer. Mann has other theatre experience in the local arena also, working at Lawrence Welk in its production of ' Don't Drink the Water.* He has also landed some bit parts in commercials. On the down side, Mann said that all too frequently actors end up getting jobs that have nothing to do with character type. If your appearance fits the bill they are looking fill, you get the job. Mann is currently in the organizational stages of opening a non-profit theatre in the Carlsbad Cultural Arts Center. When Cal State San Marcos develops a more comprehensive drama department, Mann is interested in studying in the program. His humor, talent and experience would make him a welcome addition to our learning community.

New and improved East/West relations and its consequence for the spy trade is the subject of 'Company Business,' thefirstsuch film to address this issue. It stars Gene Hackman as Sam Boyd, a retired spy master who can onlyfindworkin industrial espionage, ferreting out trade secrets for a cosmetics company. He comes from the old school which taught their agents to do this the good old-fashioned way which completely ignores the computer age. Boyd is surprised when the CIA calls him in to do one more job for them - namely to oversee a prisoner swap. His c harge i s Soviet P yiotr Grushenko (Mikhail Baryshnikov) who worked as a double agentuntil he was captured and incarcerated by the Americans. Grushenko is to be swapped for a captured American agent who is supposed to be a close friend of the president. Because the Berlin Wall has come WENDY WILLIAMS PIONEER FILM CRITIC down, the Soviets and the Americans have lost their usual prisoner swap spot atcheck point Charlie. Now they must go underground to a station for a subway that travels between East and West Berlin. But Boydfiguresout there's more going on than just a simple swap and he botches thedeal, taking Grushenko and $2 million with him. Things get complicated as the two former spies are chased through Berlin and Paris by both the CIA and the KGB. Written and directed by Nicholas Meyer(4StarTrekII: Wrath of Khan'), this film is right on top of current political situations, such as the Berlin Wall coming down, and was reworked daily to include changing events. Geraldine Danon (left), Gene Hackman and Mikhail Baryshnikov star in 'Company Business.' But this kind of pressure can make or break a film and this one shatters. Working from a sketchy plot to begin with and suffering from deadly dull pacing, 'Company Business* lacksany spark it could have had in the right hands. Part of the problem is the chemistry, b etween H ackman and Baryshnikov, which is to say there isn't any. God knows, between the two of them, they have some talent. But they can't collectively gather any steam to propel this film forward. Since 'Company Business* fails to make a mark, the field is still wide open for a definitivefilmon the subject. It's pretty certain that this movie will fadefromtheaters and memories faster than events changing in the Soviet Union. �TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1 991PIONEER Music Calendar Acoustic Alchemy: Performs as part of Humphrey's Concerts by the Bay at 2241 Shelter Island Drive on Oct. 3 at 7 and 9 p.m. 278-8497 Allman Brothers: Performs with special guest Little Feat at the Starlight Bowl, Balboa Park, Oct. 13 at 3 p.m. For tickets, call 278-8497; for information, call 570-1222.

Do you remember when, if played very loudly, their music would frighten small children and send parents into a panic? Well, the thunder is rolling again. Metall ica has revitalized that sound on their self-titled fifth recording, 'Metallica.' The band's new producer, Bob Rock, has once again captured the esscnce of a band and brought them to the doorstepof em inent success. Rock was able to make Bon Jovi's 'Slippery when Wet' into a household name. But, unlike his work with Bon Jovi, Rock has squeezed out the best from DAVID HATCH PIONEER MUSIC CRITIC Metallica without compromising their "Heavy Metal" foundation, James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, the writing duo of Metallica, have produced not only some of the hardest metal bone-crunchers available but also the most passionate ballads on Y Brenda Brubaker Word Processing Services Academic/Business/Personal EL inn WordPerfect 5.1 Training (619) 738-2634, by Appointment 1618 Stanley Way • Escondido, CA 92027 Pickup & Delivery any rock recording I have ever heard. Check out, 'Nothing Else Matters.' If Metal is the voice of frustrated youth and a rejection of social community, them Metallica has captured that energy'and funneled it into this recording. But do not get the idea that they are blind anarchists. On the aptly titled 'Don't Tread on Me,' they express the pride and patriotism many Americans felt as their nation was provoked into war (No matter what you thought of the decision). There is not one cut that best represents the entire album. The single, 'Enter Sandman,' comes close but the quality of songwriting and the tight sound of the band go well beyond that song's performance. Metallica and its new producer have proven that diversity may be the skeleton key that unlocks a dungeon of talent and mass appeal, not to mention some thought-provoking music. For you classic metal buffs, buy the recording, listen to it and decide for yourself if 'Enter Sandman,' 'Sad But True' and the ending solo of 'My Friend of Misery' aren't an inadvertent homage to the Ozzy-era Black Sabbath. 34 varieties o f subs & sandwiches 1.

Located on San Marcos Blvd., Sub-Marina has the quaint atmosphere of a country deli. There, you can choose from 34 sandwiches on the menu or design you own sub. All are guaranteed to drown even the heartiest of appetites. The ATC (avocado, turkey and cheese) sandwich is a true taste sensation that is served on a wide choice of breads. I found the meats and toppings to be fresh and the bread soft and spongy. Sandwiches come with lettuce, tomato, onion, Italian dressing, mustard and mayo to form a well-balanced meal between two slices of bread. The place is immaculate and the service is fast. It took less than five minutes to construct my sandwich. Prices are reasonable, ranging from $2.80 for a sixinch salami and cheese to $3.70 for a "Club Sub." For a little extra, you can add avocado, sprouts, pickles, OLLEGIATE OURMET BY ELAINE WHALEY F ilms jalapefios or pepperoncini (those tasty pickled peppers). With coupons, the deli's deals reach new fathoms. If you are having a party, three-foot subs are available. If your family is single-handedly trying to control the gene pool, go for the six-footer. Sub-Marina also caters. If you happen to have a family reunion and want to save the women the chore of cooking, then Sub-Marina can painlessly fulfill your needs. Business persons might be interested to know that Sub-Marina has a fax menu. Copies can be obtained at the restaurant Sub-Marina also takes phone orders. Even though the atmosphere has a slight country appeal, it is not terribly exciting. But, who goes to a sandwich shop for atmosphere anyway?

Persevering fishermen try theirluck,hopingforbetter than perch. Last of the summer visitors clutch sweaters tightly to their shoulders, as they stroll up the Oceanside Pier, shivering in the damp evening breeze. Halfway up the pier, Leonard, the baitman, holds solitary watch over a cash register that rarelyrings.Pickled eggs, to bloodworms, to snicker bars waitpatiently to be consumed by living beings with eitherfeet or fins. Leonard, informs us that the summer has not been lucrative due to the unusually cold weather. "The summer that never was," not only kept the visitors away it also kept the water temperature lower than normal which kept the fish away as well. Leonard was not particularly upset because as he explained, "I don * t own the shop." However, Leo the business man- ager of the restaurant at the end of the pier, feels differently. "I'll do anything to encourage business. Large parties, small parties, weddings, catering, I'll do it. Aren't you hungry?" His food looks and smells wonderful. But while not by any means outrageous, these starving students can't afford it. We can afford, however, the delicious "happy hour" goodies upstairs. John, the bartender, serves us stirfried veggies, sweet and sour meatballs andricep ilaf—all for a mere dollar. Beer and wine at a dollar and well drinks for $ 1.50 plus a gorgeous view of the sunset over die Pacific (if the fog wasn't in the way) make for a mellow evening. After .a brief flirt with the cute locals, facing the elements on the propane heated balcony, we leisurely strolled back. Leaving the surfers to their never-ending quest for the perfect wave, we photograph the last of the summer lovers hugging on the sand and head for the warmth of our car. i SUNDAY BRUNCH ^ { J U k Basket of homemade pastries with Brunch order.

S tudent Laura Mitchell, an avid soccer player, heard about the city of San Marcos' soccer leagues and wanted to join. The leagues, however, only accepted teams. So Mitchell started one. Nine players, including Mitchell, joined the Community Services' co-ed soccer league under the team name 'The Strikers.' The now 13member team is undefeated and is largely made up of Cal State San Marcos and other area college students. "We have a range of players who have never played before and those who have played for 10 years," Mitchell said. The teams colors are white and those who attend Cal State San Marcos wear their college T-shirts. Other students come from neighboring Palomar College and as far away as Cal Poly Pomona. "We (CSUSM students) are kinds of the ring leaders," said Richard Malloy, a CSUSM student. From CSUSM, team members include Michelle Sadova, Kelly Yates, Lisa Foster, Jose Chapman, Debbie Ricketts, Mitchell and Malloy. Mitchell, Chapman and Ricketts plays defense. ' They're the main defensive players," Malloy said. Mitchell said there are some rules that come with the co-ed games that not all players agree with. For example, when a female has control of the ball in the center of the field, a male cannot take it away* Mitchell, an experienced player, feels this is unfair to both sexes. The team tries to practice twice a week, but with conflicting school and work schedules, not everyone can make i t "We at least have two practices a week," said Malloy, "but not everyone can make both times." Photographer gives greetings local angle D EBBIE PUFFY/PIONEER Have you ever stood on the beach gazing at a sunset and yearning for a camera to capture the f oment?" * ' WeUf*pai:ten£ Barge makes a living taking pictures of the beach and selling them as greeting cards. "S andy Dreams Greetings" has been a reality for Barge for about six years. She and her husband decided there was a market for pictures of North County beaches and chose to mount their pictures, on 5-by-7 card stock to sell as greeting cards* They visited local merchants, who desired pictures of beaches other than San Diego City beaches, and their business took off overnight. Barge takes pictures of different beaches, their piers, the ocean and the setting sun; mounts them and writes her own special messages on thé sand in the pictures. What's hiôst impressive about these greeting cards is that every one is a photograph that can be mounted in a 5-by-7 or larger frame. These greeting cards are made to be admired all the time, not just glanced at and thrown away. For example, one of her best-selling cards displays a Santa waving a bag and tçwël, wearing white Bermuda shorts, red and white knee socks and looking like a real Santa from the waist-up. He is standing in the sand with the ocean unfolding behind him. This is "Southern California's" depiction of Santa. He floats in on the ocean and looks like a tourist ready to catch a wave or some sun. Another popular card portrays the ocean waves creeping onto the sand leaving white foam in its wake. The white foam is Southern California's idea of a "White Christmas." Barge says that many people from Southern California love to send this card to their relatives in the Northeast and the Midwest. Barge takes her o wn pictures, makes her o w n cards (with the help of an assistant), sells and restocks all her greeting cards herself. In addition to holiday cards, Barge also creates Happy Birthday cards for other occasions. Many specialty stores sell Barge's greeting cards, especially stores that cater mostly to tourists. By taking pictures of local beaches and writing the names of the beaches in the sand, Barge creates pictures that can be saved and admired. You can find Barge's unique greeting cards at the Palomar College Bookstore, the Harbor G ift Shop (on Oceanside pier), at El Camino Pharmacy in Carlsbad and at La CostaPharmacy You canfindDarlene in class at Cal State San Marcos every day. �News Briefs Recessionary economy could help construction A.S. Council starts holiday food drive The Associated Student Council has organized a holiday food drive to benefit the North County Inter-Faith Crisis Center in Escondido. This is the only philanthropic project students will be able to participate in this year. Food collection bins are located in the Student Lounge, A.S. Office and the Library. Wendy | Peterson, undergraduate-at-large representa- 1 1 tive, said the A.S. is accepting box and canned U non-perishable items through Dec. 13. " We're T u trying to get the boxes out by Monday and have I them out through the end of the school year." The A.S. chose the Crisis Center over Lifeline Community Services. "Lifeline had too many complications and restrictions with everything," Peterson said. L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER While the economic recession slows down consumers, it may actually be speeding up the construction process at Cal State San Marcos' permanent campus site off Twin Oaks Valley Road. Whereas, last month CSUSM officials were pessimistic as to whether the first phase of the campus construction would b e completed by its f all 1992 deadline, the faltering economy has injected a glimmer of hope into die project's timeline. Albert Amado, vice president of Campus Construction and Physical Planning, said that subcontractors are more a pttastart their specific tasks at the site ontimerather than experience delays due to other backed-up jobs. Because of a slump in the construction industry many subcontractors are faced with a lack of work and serious cutbacks. As a result they are more eager to start and complete projects that do e xist "We schedule subcontractors right a fter c ontractors," said A mado. "Subcontractors are ready to work at the first call due to the economy."

Amado said problems might occur if heavy downpours come before the roofing work on the buildings is completed. He estimated that roofs will be "dried-in" in about 60 days. Even if no more problems arise to hamper construction, the project still faces a tight schedule. Last year the project's buffer time was used up during a three-month delay incurred by a contractor's dispute. In September of last year, construction on the nearly $50 million project ground to a halt after grading subcontractor C.W. Poss claimed that contractor Louetto Construction Inc. failed to pay them $1.3 million for work already completed at the site. Louetto was terminated from its responsibilities at the permanent site the next month and replaced with Lusardi Construction Company. W orries that d rought-induced water rationing would impede construction at the site were drowned when heavy rainfall hit San Marcos in March. The "March Miracle" left the ground too muddy to work with, thereby hindering progress. Amado said there is little left to hinder the construction process yet to come.

Ever since Cal State San Marcos opened last year, many students have pleaded with the powers that be to instigate a child care program. Now the Associated Student Council may have an answer to their problems. With a population that consists primarily of older students, child care is a legitimate concern. Many of CSUSM'sreentry population are parents that are faced with the d aily d ilemma of STAFF EDITORIAL where to put their children while mom or dad goes to school. Unfortunately, college administrators and the A.S. Council have delayed starting a child care program because of the high cost of liability insurance. In addition, CSUSM's temporary campus does not have proper facilities to care for children on site. Some students who are not parents have also expressed a reluctance to fund a university-sponsored program. These students feel that paying for child care should not be their responsibility since they chose to forgo the cost of raising children in the first place. At last the A.S. found a solution that can please those unwilling to fund child care and avoid university liability. By seeking help from the San Marcos Boys and Girls Club, the A.S. has shown the type of ingenuity and resourcefulness that has typified CSUSM's short history. Under the program, students can drop their children off at the Club on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30 to 8 p.m. where they will be supervised by Club staff. The Boys and Girls Club is accustomed to working with children on a daily basis and is known for its community service contributions with regard to children. The cost of the program is relatively inexpensive. An annual membership fee of $15 affords students the opportunity to utilize the evening child care services and facilities of the Club. Students pay only $5 per night to take advantage of the plan. Few, if any, organizations offer child care at such an affordable rate. The program, however, cannot be started unless a minimum of 15 students participate. Students wishing to take advantage of the program must sign up now. Waiting until next semester will only close the window of child care opportunity. The college still has to wrestle with the dilemma of dealing with preschool children. Since the program only services children from 6 to 18 years of age, parents needing preschool care need to seek help elsewhere. Still, the program is a step in the right direction. Currently, the Boys and Girls Club has child care programs during the day. This new program would simply extend this program into the evening hours. OUR VIEWS Editor studies taxonomy of critics Preparatory to anything else, the person wishing to write a statement, editorial in nature, should examine the critics of the art of o psonization. It seems that whenever an opinion is advanced, an opposing opinion of lesser, equal or greater force is advanced to reverse the stress brought on by the opinion of thefirstparty (known to many as the politician's first law of verbal dynamics). Through careful examination of opposing opinions, we find revealed a taxonomical classification of the realm of critics at large. From the kingdom Animalia, phylum Vertibrae, class Mammalia, order New World, family Nuclear and the genus Criticus, we can discern several unique species who participate in the symbiotic evolutionary cycle of argumentative discourse. Criticus equatus: Propels earthly arguments into the logical ozone with encapsulated analogies that equate the mundane with the extraterrestrial. e.g. You buy the last pound of ground turkey flesh from the grocery store. Mrs. Smith, wanting the fowl, becomes so enraged by the buy she goes to the library and reads how to build a thermonuclear devise (Popular Science, March 1972pp. 74). She gathers enough plutonium from discarded smoke detectors and pacemakers and constructs a warhead roughly the size of New Hampshire which she proceeds to detonate at your house. The Pentagon perceives the explosion as an attack from the Soviet Union (they were faking internal troubles) and launches its entire entourage of ICBMs at Moscow which retaliates by launching its entire entourage of ICBMs at Washington D.C. resulting in total and complete world obliteration and global destruction. Therefore you must become a vegetarian. Criticus oxymoronicus: Inclined to correct ideologies ofthose holding incorrect political persuasions, unaware that arguments political in nature inherently may be deemed controversial by the correctitudes of opposing latitudes, thereby boggling the nature of macrocorrectness with microspeculations of verbatically deemed incorrectness. e.g. Prone to tarry over the nature of words that aclvertentlyDr inadvertently propagate racial, gender or other stereotypical t itles through their spelling or inference. Black-list, black-ball, beanpole,chairman, manhole, mandate, Mexican,Mexican',, girl, boy, boyEDITOR-IN-CHIEF toy, oh boy. Criticus insultus: Throws argument to the wind, logic to the dogs and opponent to the wolves. Responds to a well thought out argument with a conflagration of anti-personal razz-ma-tazz. e.g. George Bush's Willie Horton rabbit punch to Michael Dukakis (liberal) in the 1988 presidential elections. Michael Dukakis' uppercut to George Bush's squeaky voice (whimp) in the 1988 presidential elections. The media's attack on Ted Kennedy (womanizer, dunderhead, cheat, murderer). Congress' barrage on California state senator Alan Cranston, who was involved with the sagacious, magnificent Keating five (crook). Third-grader Johnnie's cheap shot to third-grader Sally (you're ugly). Third-grader Sally's return slam to third-grader Johnnie (I know you are but what am I). Criticus ra-ra-russ: Always argues on the side of the home team regardless of congruity of logical argument Organisms within this classification (also known as Criticus americus, Criticus republiciis, Criticus democratus, Criticus finestcititus, Criticus collegiatuSi Criticus h.s.itus, Criticus elementaritus, Criticus preichoolitus, Criticus familitus, Criticus usus) oftentimes utilize the strategies of Criticus equatus when reasonable discussion of institutional issues fails. e.g. Roamed the central portion of the western hemisphere shortly after Operation Desert Storm. Faces momentary extinction during recessionary times. Undoubtedly will resurge again during next year's elections.

A THOUGHT: "How long does a man spend dying? What does it mean to say 'forever'?" PABLO NERUDA I personally find the opinion of Nov. 12 Pioneer regarding "Basic courses essential at CSUSM" to be a little naive, to say the least. It appears that the writer has joined the ranks of some of the other "snifflers" and "Whiners" roaming our campus. They seem to join our campus with that trailblazing spirit then develop a c ritical c ase of " Iwantitis" or "gimmeegimmeeitits." We all applied to CSUSM as juniors (that was the qualification for entrance) with thé understanding that no lower division course work was going to be offered. I remember on one visit to MiraCosta College, a CSUSM representative told us of the writing requirement so that we would have time (spring semester 1990) to update our skills if they were rusty. Yes, the population of our campus are reentry students. However, re-entry in this sense applies to late-bloomers - those students that delay beginning their educational goals. For most, the gap you mentioned is between high school and college not between lower and upper division coursework. We are transfer students, that is transferring directly from a local junior college such as MiraCosta or Palomar. Twenty-five hundred words or not,how could anyone transfer as a junior without having some basic foundation in math, science, and English? Math and English have a progression in our JCs - placement tests are taken and the student follows a prescribed outline based upon where he/she places on the exam. These courses are also covered in the basic lower division GE coursework requirements for entrance to most universities. To knowingly transfer into an upper division campus such as ours without any experience would not place the blame on CSUSMforatransferstudentnotbeingprepared. I would, however, go back or write to the junior college and let these feeder schools know how they could have prepared you better. Our JCs are responsible for lower division coursework. Therefore, I would: • tell them that they need to offer more class sections in those basic areas. • tell them that they need to redesign their programs in order to prepare their students to be successful at CSUSM (for example, all classes should stress writing not just English classes). As far as our identity is concerned, one can achieve that feeling of oneness by doing the very thing that most students avoid - getting involved! I, and most of my friends, managed to transfer in the fall of 1990 to CSUSM, pull an extra lower division class at Palomar, hold down a job, take care of a family and be involved with the university in some capacity. Our identity was proudly earned as CSUSM students. Yes we did breath a sigh or relief when we were through with the local JC but that did not inhibit our efforts to put our university on the map by getting involved. Whether it was the Student Governance Task Force or a subcommittee thereof, the writing center, the yearbook, ji«t¡c& ?j*i%y>"t oifr G U n ry/ir V My suggestion is to stop crying over those things that aren * t here by being an active participant in what is here! There is a wonderful writing center staffed with extremely qualified writers to help those writing requirement blues. There is also a newly formed Mathlab equally staffed with qualified personnel to deal with that math anxiety. Not to mention ongoing workshops by EOP and Career Placement and Planning that deal with these PUBLIC FORUM very problems!

In most instances the cause of extinction is attributed to humankind's encroachmentuponthefragileecosystems in which these organisms live. The San Diego Wild Animal Park in Escondido holds 41 endangered species. This special series examines the stories of three of the Park's species' struggle for survival. Theirs are stories of hope and despair, triumph and frustration. Each tale will examine the controversies and problems facing each species' fight for life. u p c o m i n g GORILLAS L IKE THE MYTHOLOGICAL PHOENIX which rose from the ashes of extinction, the California condor may find a new beginning amidst the destruction of its species. Next month, officials at the San Diego Wild Animal Park in Escondido plan to reintroduce the condor into the wild by releasing a male and a female bird from captivity. The California condor, which has been extinct in the wild since 1987, represents the most highly publicized success story at the Park. Currently all 52 existing California condors live in captivity. Twenty-four of them dwell in a " condominiuma $150,000 condor breeding center located at the Park. Next month's release represents a decade of efforts to save the majestic bird. Former Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, Dr. S. Dillon Ripley stated, "The condor represents . .. one of the very few natural genetic reservoirs, unchanged since Pleistocene times a million years ago. It should be preserved as a biological resource." As a link to the past, the California condor is unique in its attributes. It has a wingspan of eight to nine and a half feet, making it the largest indigenous flying bird in North America. It can rise up to four miles in altitude and glide down 150 miles. California condors are relatives of vultures and feed of animals that are already dead. They are not equipped with talons for catching live prey. Myths of condors carrying small children away are completely false, since condors utilize all their wing power to lift their 25-pound bodies off the ground. "The bird has a magical attraction,** says Bill Toone, curator of birds at the Wild Animal Park. ' The condor has immense charisma. It is completely silent and absolutely a master of control in the air. The condor is a tremendous demonstration of power and control. Therein lies the importance of its conservation.** Toone started his association with the Park in the late 1970s as a grad student studying how captive behavior effects the hormones and breeding practices of birds. He says he had no intention to concentrate on condors as a student, but the b ird's majesty hooked him.

CONTINUED/FROM PAGE 8 environment in the future, officials reserve their optimism as to whether or not-the species can survive in the wild. * Tom Hanscom, director of Public Relations at the Wild Animal Park, cites that the reasons for the condor's demise have yet to be determined. Many of the factors that destroyed the giant b ird's population still e xist Scientists speculate that apart from human encroachment and hunters' bullets, lead poisoning may have been a primary agent in the natural extinction of the condors. Some condors feeding on game left behind by hunters ingested lead shotgun pellets imbedded in the carrion. Others may have died by consuming poisoned carcasses set out as bait to kill coyotes. "Our problem is we haven't cleaned up the environment that caused the condors' extinction. This is not a biologically sound reintroduction, it is a politically sound one," Hanscom says. Toone indicates that people should expect to see the deaths of at least 20 of the released condors; but, he adds, these deaths will help scientists determine the reasons for the animal's natural extinction. "Deaths in the field will be affordable on a species level," says Toone. According to Toone, each bird will be radio tagged and monitored continuously by scientists. If a condor dies, its body can be located and studied to determine the cause of death. The information will then aid conservationists in eliminating the factors which originally caused the condors' extinction. Toone also agrees with Hanscom that the condor release program is more a sound ''political" move than a biological one. Under the Federal Endangered Species Act, the habitat occupied by an animal facing extinction is protected f rom human encroachment and development. Builders are prohibited from construction on lands occupied by endangered species. Because of the vast area of land the condor occupies, the bird is referred to as an "umbrella species." Within its 150 square-mile domain lives 56 different endangered species.

After the condor became extinct in the wild, protection of its natural habitat was lifted. When the two birds are released next month, its lands will once again fall under an umbrella of federal protection. Since the condor holds such a high profile of media attention, developers will be more informed on condor lands protected under the Endangered Species Act. As a result, lower profile animals, such as the cactus wren, that share habitats with the condor will find their homes protected as well. G E N E R A L L Y SPEAKING, captive breeding programs at the Wild Animal Park serve only to augment populations in the wild. In the case of the California condor, captive breeding has completely saved the species. In 1982, biologists began scouring the condor's habitat for eggs to be reared in captivity. Only a handful of condors remained and the only hopes for the animal's future rested in animal sanctuaries. Previously, zoologists were reluctant to collect condor eggs because the natural population of th£birds would be seriously depleted. "Because of the hostile habitat, we couldn't afford to have any more of the animals die," says Toone. He states that the Wild Animal Park approached the condor p hotos b y R ON GARRISON/for the WILD ANIMAL PARK A zoologist at the San Diego Wild Animal Park nurtures a newly hatched condor chick. breeding program with optimism. In the 1940s, the San Diego Zoo developed the first captive breeding program of the Andean Condor. The program was a success and proved that condors were relatively easy animals to take care of. According to Toone, finding condor eggs was no easy task. Since 99 percent of condors do not build nests, biologists had to find caves (usually at high altitudes in cliff sides) where the condors laid their eggs.

Since that time the California condor breeding program soared into orbit. In 1988 Molloko, the first California condor ever conceived and hatched in captivity, brought renewed hopes of the animal's future. Last year Park condors laid 26 eggs, as many as three eggs per female condor. Once a condor is hatched, it is immediately placed in an infant isolette. The chick is nurtured and raised through the use of condor puppets to insure that the condor can recognize other condors. Toone says that after six or seven years the condors reach maturity and are able to reproduce. It is only when they reach this point that biologists will reintroduce them to the wild. Next year, Toone hopes the Park and the Los Angeles Zoo (which has a similar program) will release six condors. He says that because each bird costs about $250,000 to develop and monitor, reintroduction into the wild will be a slow and expensive process. "We want to develop three selfsustaining populations that are geographically distant, each with 100 birds," says Toone. "It might happen in my lifetime."

It is so easy to be interrupted when studying for finals. I just received my fall edition of "Yosemite Magazine." The lead article is about something close to my h eart... the photography of Yosemite. The beautiful pictures reminded me of the wonderful times I have had photographing Yosemite before my days at Cal State San Marcos. The desire to pack up and run to the high country pulls on my very v being. I have a real affinity for Yosemite and hay & visited, the national park at least 20 or so times; but only once have I been there in the winter. Gone were the screaming kids, the packed paths, the traffic jams, the sights of beauty teaming with humanity. Instead, a solitude invades the valley, the pace slows down and beauty can be admired in solo wonder. Warm cabins and lodge rooms are available at the Yosemite Lodge and Camp Curry. The winter rates remain reasonable for a resort. All of the restaurants and stores stay open for winter guests. The park keeps the roads clear of snow and, so long as good preparation for winter clothing and gear are met, the trip is beyond reward. I stayed at the Yosemite Lodge and early every morning I was rewarded with the sight of Yosemite Falls frozen to the face of the sheer granite wall. During the night the breeze fanned the falling water so that the ice framed both sides of the falls for many yards. As the sun penetrated into the valley and warmed the rock walls, the ice cracked, rumbled and thundered as it fell hundreds of feet to the boulders below. The Merced River, which rages in the spring, becomes as a tame kitten in the winter. The edges of the river become frozen like a winter pond while the center stays clear. The peaceful flowing water Snow clings to thr rocky face of one of Yosemite's majestic landmarks during the national park's calm winter months. reflects the majesty of a Yosemite winter day: snow-capped river rocks, snow-encrusted pine trees, snow-topped sheer granite walls and white clouds framed in blue skies. But winter in Yosemite is not just the splendor of the big scene, it is also the beauty of an autumn leaf varnished with a coat of frozen crystals or the pattern of a patch of snow on a dead, charred log. I t's a cold, quiet walk followed by Irish Coffee to warm up the system. If you love Yosemite in die summer, you'll adore it in the winter. For those that desire more strenuous winter wonder, Yosemite offers both cross-country and downhill skiing. Buses commute between the valley floor and Badger Pass a lt day, every day. The Yosemite Association didn't have to send me their quarterly journal right at the beginning of finals for it has sent my mind a wondering and I think I have talked myself into a winter break trip to Yosemite. My husband has never seen Yosemite in the snow and I c an't wait to share the beauty witjt him. �Holiday season filled with traditional and new performances A C hristinas C arol: C harles Dickens' holiday tale of Ebenezer Scrooge and the three ghosts of Christmas is staged by several groups this holiday season. • Jonathan McMurtry stars in the San Diego Repertory Theatre's production of this classic.

Although the execution and voice of the alien vegetable is without flaw, the actual puppet has had better days. The plant props were rented; however, the theater isn't getting its money's worth. The plant is torn and missing obvious parts (a tooth for example). With the talent and skills at the Moonlight, they would have been better off building their own puppets.

Due to the failure of a key measure in last semester's student election's, the newly formed student government began its duties with no money. To gain capital for its first semester budget and to qualify for incorporation, the A.S. turned to the University Foundation for financial assistance. The Foundation responded with a loan of $12,920 to the A.S., with a planned repayment over the next three semesters. The Associated Students are planning fund-raisers and promoting the passage of ballot measures next semester to collect fees for loan repayment and Spring 1992 operational fees. "During the summer, the A.S. Council devised a strategy to find a way to get funds for operations,'' said A.S. President Jose Chapman. Lack of funds for the A.S. became apparent after a measure on the spring ballot enabling student governmentto collect student fees failed to be passed. Even though a measure assessing a $ 15 fee to students gained narrow support by the voting population, the fees could not be collected without the passing of an enabling measure. A ccording t o C hapman, t he e nabling measure's failure was due to difficulty in understanding the wording of the measure on the ballot. He said the language was confusing enough that students were not entirely sure on what they were voting. Wording for the measure came directly from Title V, a document which sets guidelines on how student governments in California are to operate. Some students indicated during the elections that they were not clear on the purpose of the measure. Chapman said the A.S. Council worked during the summer to clarify and summarize the wording of the Title V measure so students will better understand its meaning. The enabling measure along with the previous measure assessing student fees will be reintroduced to the students in an October election. Executive VicePresidentof CSUSM,Richard Rush, who sits on the Foundation's board, said helping the A.S. get on its feet was a way for the Foundation to help support the university community. "The Foundation is a non-profit organization which supports the university by generating, receiving and administering funds for the university," Rush said. The Foundation is a self-supporting organization which receives funding through gifts and donations. Approximately 70 people who have donated $5,000 are recognized as founders. Additional monies were garnered from grants and corporate donations. Population almost doubles Student ethnicity low; faculty diversity high The more things change, the more they stay the same. Even though Cal State San Marcos' student population recorded a 43 percent increase, it has grown little in terms of ethnic diversity. CSUSM's faculty profile, on the other hand, reflects a degree of ethnic diversity that tops both nationwide and Cal State system averages. The student population reached 1,114 as of August 27 with 730 students qualifying for Full Time Equivalent (FTE) status. In order to qualify for FTE status, a student must hold IS units or more. Michael Yee, of the Office of Admissions and Records, says the number of FTE students falls short of projections. " We're still under the number of students we would like," Yee says. The university was hoping for 750 FTE students. FTE is a determining factor for state funding. Women continue to dominate the population of CSUSM, comprising 61 percent of the total enrollment. The female enrollment is down from 74 percent last semester. The avetage age of students still looms at 29. " We're looking at reentry women at this age, rather than the typical college cohort" said Vice SEE GROWTH/PAGE A12 Gender Ethnicity Comparison between CSUSM students, faculty and national faculty enthnic breakdowns. • STUDENT CAUCASI0N: 73% • FACULTY CAUCASI0N: 59% • NATIONAL CAUCASI0N: 90% Eligibility 46% CONTINUING STUDENTS SOURCES: Admissions & Records, President's Office g raphics by J ONATHAH Y OUNG I I STUDENTS ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ l FACULTY NATION �N ews B riefs Designers get seal of approval Graphics Solutions, a full service graphic design and sign planning firm, has been retained to provide design concepts, working drawings and bid specs for the "Founders Seal" to be inset in the paving of the Founders' Plaza at the permanent CSU San Marcos campus. The bronze and terrazzo seal will include symbolic imagery representing the founding of the university: the initial three colleges, the school's mission statement and names of the one hundred initial founders," said Simon Andrews, Graphic Solutions' Principal. The permanent campus is scheduled to open in 1992. College of Education offers new course The College of Education has announced the addition of "Education 471, The Secondary School," this fall as a service to students who want to get their undergraduate degrees here and enter a Single Subject Credential Program at San Diego State University. This course is a required pre-requisite for the SDSU program that is impacted on their campus. The Director of Teacher Education at SDSU has confirmed that this new class will be accepted as a substitute for their course. This is the only time this course will be offered during the 1991-92 academic year. Next semester, the College will offer another prerequisite course in multicultural education. Shuttle Service Discontinued During the 1990 spring semester, Library Services subsidized a van which shuttled students to the SDSU Love Library up to nine time a week. Because only 14 students utilized this service andduetoeconomic reasons, the Library has discontinued the service. Spanish proficiency added In January, 1994, Cal State San Marcos will implement a new factor in admitting students to all credential programs in the College of Education. At that time and thereafter, the College will ask applicants to describe their facility in Spanish and it will be a factor in making admission decisions. The College of Education will not require that all admitted students know Spanish, but it will be one of a number of factors taken into account in the admission process. Volunteers needed Volunteers are needed to help with Cal State San Marcos* first International Festival scheduled for Oct. 27. Those students interested should contact the Vice President of Student Services Office in Bldg. 125. The festival was established by a donation from Itoman & Compant Ltd., which announced a $500,000 endowment to the college for the establishment of the event. The money will be apportioned out in $50,000 increments over the next 10 years. Scholarship information available Scholarship information for Cal State San Marcos students is maintained in the reception area of the Scholarship and Financial Aid office, now located in building 800. Students are invited to stop by and research scholarship opportunities. As new scholarship information becomes available, notices will be posted in Pioneer.

Campus Construction Work on permanent site continues after setbacks tightened schedule LARRY BOISJOLiE/PIONEER After suffering from a prolonged contractor's dispute and heavy March rains, construction of Phase I on Cal State San Marcos' permanent campus off Twin Oaks Valley Road may not be completed by the fall 1992 deadline. Phase I includes the $14 million Craven Hall, an academic core consisting of one lecture hall and a laboratory facility and the c ampus' physical plant, which will house receiving and handling. "It's too tight to call right now," said Albert Amado, vice president of Physical Planning and Campus Construction. "The project lost three and a half months with the contractor's dispute." In September, construction on the nearly $50 million project ground to a halt after grading subcontractor C.W. Poss claimed that contractor Louetto Construction Inc. failed to pay them 1.3 million for work already completed at the site. Louetto was terminated from its responsibilities at the permanent site in October and replaced with Lusardi Construction Company. Worries that drought-induced water rationing would impede construction at the site were drowned when heavy rainfall hit San Marcos in March. The "March Miracle" left the ground too muddy thereby hindering progress. "The ground under Craven Hall was so saturated, we had vehicles getting stuck in the mud," Amado cited. "We lost some time there." Construction projects typically experience weather delays, said Amado, but having lost valuable time in the contractor's dispute, much of the construction schedule's buffer time was lost. Amado said Lusardi recently completed its function of preparing the site, putting the project back on schedule. "We're pleased with the quality of work done by Lusardi," Amado said. Already the campus' main drive is completed with water, reclamation, electric and gas lines installed. Trees with activated irrigation systems are in place and buildings are beginning to rise and take shape. Four different contractors are working concurrently on the project, adding further complexity to the building task. Amado said the contractors have been working well to coordinate their tasks with other contractors. Foundations for the lecture and lab buildings are almost complete, said Amado. Meanwhile, workers are almost finished with theframeworkand deck systems in the lab building. This week steel frame construction is set to begin on Craven Hall and will continue for six weeks. The six-story Craven Hall will be the first "feature building" on the campus and will house all of the $2 million in computer systems used to run the first phase of the campus. It will also serve as the campus library and house administration. Craven Hall set construction bidding standards for the new campus whenBodellConstructionofSaltLake City, bid $1.4 million below the buildings budgeted c ost Amado said at the low-bidding trend should continue throughout the entire construction project. The university is in the process of seeking cladding materials and concrete for Craven Hall's stucco finish.

Psychological stress increases cold risk Welcome back and I hope you all had a healthy summer break. The lack of summer which I frequently bemoaned was probably beneficial to our skin, but definitely made it seem like summer never started. However, I hope it didn't interfere with your ability to get rejuvenated for another academic year. Beginning a new academic year, I realize, can be very stressful with school, work and other adjustments which brings me to write about yet another effect of stress. A recent study in New England Journal ofMedicine supports the debatable contention that emotional health affects physical health. I for one think people all too frequently attribute physical health problems to stress but this study makes a very strong case. Specifically the study provides evidence that psychological stress is associated with an increased risk of acquiring the common cold. With the consent of the participants, the researches gave them nose drops with five of the 20 common cold viruses. They then monitored them for common symptoms. They also underwent extensivephysical and psychological testing and questioning about health habits. The end result was that people with high levels of psychological stress were twice as likely to develop colds and even with less severe stress there is still an increase in risk to HEALTHNOTES BY D R. J OEL GRINOLDS develop a cold. Other factors that increase susceptibility such as age, diet, smoking, exercise, etc. could not explain away that increased risk. Nobody knows the precise mechanism by which stress changes one's defenses against infectious diseases but this study definitely supports the case that stress alters our immune response. How one can handle stress to stay healthy is not exactly known, but I will write about that in future columns. As you know atHealth Services, we see students for many other reasons then stress related disorders. We are going to be available three days a week this semester and have new staff. Lisa Estelle is now a mother of a healthy boy, Sean, and is being a fulltime parent Stop by Health Services to become acquainted with the new hours and new staff.

Do you think instructors should use originality in exercising the r equirement? There are lots of different ways to get students to write in class. One is to have free writing, where students can write whatever they're thinking about Students can write by listening to the professor talk in the class then in the last ten minutes of class the professor says, 'tell me what I've just told you.' What the professor will learn from that is enormous. The professor will learn what the students have trouble with very spontaneously. The alternative to that is to let the students go home and think about what they've just heard in class and for the next session write a paragraph or two explaining what they've just heard. That's another way of really learning the material in the class that both the students and the professor learn from. The idea of writing a 10-page paper is also an excellent one. Sometimes ideas that have been around for a long time are excellent. Innovation is not synonymous with quality. When you get out in the real world, that's what you are going to be doing a lot, no matter what your discipline is. The multi-draft format that professor have used, where the paper the student has done is given back with comments all over it and a note asking to redo it, is a very effective learning tool for the students. Each individual university has its own reputation f or something. San Diego State has its football team; MIT has engineering. How's CSUSM going to find its niche? We're going to find our niche by the strength of our faculty and the successes of our students. We have already achieved a niche in the quality of our undergraduate program by looking at the curriculum. We are in the process, of course, of operationalizing that. I don't know of any university that requires 2,500 words for every course. The language requirement for all students; the incredible emphasis on internationalism both in the general education and in the major; the emphasis on diversity are all important for shaping the university. At this time do you think that CSUSM is meeting its Mission statement? Very much so. The Mission statement has guided us in every way through the curriculum; through recruitment; our faculty and our staff; and through the computer-literacy requirement which we are in the process of operationalizing.. If the p ermanent campus doesn't open in the fall of 1992, how will the academic plan be affected?

C a m p u s H istory Highlights of construction on Cal State San Marcos' permanent campus site on Twin Oaks Valley Road: C ONTINUED F ROM P AGE A 3 Amado said construction on the physical plant is also moving along well. The physical plant facility is expected to be completed in November. In 60-90 days after the building's completion, group and equipment move-in can begin. While construction continues at the campus site, the City of San Marcos is working on a project of its own. A six-lane roadway between the new college's main entrance and the freeway is now under construction. Amado said he anticipates the construction to continue until 1993. Storm drains and an underground 69 kv powerline will run beneath the road that will be a major artery for the city's Heart of the City project The Heart of the City project consists of 1,600 acres of land including the university that will be completely controlled in terms of architecture and landscape. The project will be designed around CSUSM's Mediterranean style to give the feel of a university village. Amado said the campus construction project is bound to run into some snags, but that he is trying to minimize problems as they arise. " We're reacting as quickly as possible to contractor questions," he said. "By the time we roll around to the rainy period, we should be completely out of the ground." If construction continues past the fall 1992 scheduled opening date, Amado said the decision of when to move on to the site will come from to this new community. The bill, signed here on campus, gave the university its name and established it as the twentieth CSU school in the state. Happy Birthday CSUSM. Watch out world, we're into the terrible twos. 1990 • Fe& 23: Cal State San Marcos President Bill Stacy, along with the university's founding faculty, held the groundbreaking ceremonies at the permanent site, starting Phase I. • Aug. 26: CSUSM welcomed its first students. • November: It is reported that construction costs for Phase I jumped 20 percent due to unexpected amounts of rocks and DDT on the campus site. Construction on the site set the construction schedule two months behind. • Nov. 27: Bids were accepted for Craven Hall, the first feature building on the campus. Bodell Construction from Salt Lake City, Utah, won the bids at $14,325,000, $1.4 million under budget. The highest of the 11 bidders still came $200,000 under the $15.8 million budgeted for the building. The bidding set a president for future projects. • October: Construction on the campus grounded to a halt due to contractual dispute between General Contractor Louetto Construction and grading subcontractor C.W.Poss. Poss officials claim that Louetto was delinquent in paying them $1.3 million for work already completed at the site. • November: The university terminated Louetto from its contractual responsibilities due to the contractor dispute. Lusardi Construction, a San Marcos-based company, was awarded the interim contract to replace Louetto. 1991 J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER A construction worker traverses steel beams on the permanent campus' lab building. CSUSM President Bill Stacy. In the meantime, the university is moving forward in seeking funding in Sacramento for Phase II. The phase will service 5,000 students. Amado said the second phase has already been delayed by at least one year due to the failure of Proposition 143 on last November's ballot The Proposition would have added $10 million in revenues to CSUSM that would have been used for furniture and the acquisition of books for the library's core collection. • Feb. 6: Stacy guided Senator Gary Hart on a tour of the campus to explain budget problems with future phases of construction. Although Phase I was already budgeted and paid for, funds for other phases was to come from the failed Proposition 143. • March 4: Construction began on Craven Hall. • March 5: Construction began on the Academic Core. • March: Although some considered the rain the "March Miracle," the excess water caused problem with construction on campus. Weather delays were scheduled in, but all buffer time had been used with the previous year's contractual disputes. SOURCE: Pioneer records �It R 0 U B L E S W IT H Board of Supervisee axes incinerator while trash piles up in local landfill Last month, the county Board of Supervisors dumped San Marcos' plans for a $325 million trash-to-energy incinerator. With the demise of the trash plant, North County is scrambling to find a resting home for its refuse. The county landfill currently spans 73 acres in the city of San Marcos and rises 750 feet. Plans to expand the landfill to 209 acres were voted on by the San Marcos City Council on July 14, but without their trash-to-energy plant, San Marcos may revoke the decision. San Marcos Mayor Lee Thibadeau says the landfill expansion was contingent upon the passing of the incinerator. For now, North County cities will continue to dump at the landfill. But even if the landfill expansion is approved again by the City Council, San Marcos could possibly revoke land-use permits forcities other than San Marcos. " I'm g oing to protect my c ity," cites Thibadeau. Since the landfill is expected to reach capacity by the end of the year, all of North County's cities will be left without a local place to dump their refuse, unless the city expands the existing site. Thibadeau says that if San Marcos approves the expansion plan, he wants to limit the landfill's use to his city and adjacent unincorporated areas only. Although the County owns the land, they cannot run the landfill without special permits from the city of San Marcos. "The only way they can legally expand the landfill is if we allow a permit," Thibadeau says. "We might not do that." * However, Escondido Mayor Jerry Harmon says San Marcos has no legal right to deny use of the landfill to anyone. " I think legally they (San Marcos) are not in the position to do that," Harmon says. "San Marcos does not have legal authority to operate the landfill." Thibadeau claims that with the right permit, the county can still operate the landfill just for San Marcos. "The county doesn't have to take care of every city's trash." Thibadeau and a majority of the San Marcos City Council have officially shown support for the trash-to-energy plant since 1985. Trash plant history laced with controversy The incinerator saga began in 1981 when the county signed an agreement with Herzog Contracting Corp. to operate the San Marcos landfill and have exclusive rights to develop a trash-toenergy plant at the site. Since that time rights went to North County Resource Recovery Associates, a jointly owned subsidiary of Thernio Electron Corporation and SCA Services. In 1984, Thermo Electron lost SCA Services as a partner and worked with three other partners until 1990. Opposition to the incinerator began in 1984, when North County C oncerned C itizens (NCCC), filed the first of more than a dozen lawsuits challenging the trash plant. The group, consisting mostly of residents in the Elfin Forest area of San Marcos, was concerned over environmental impacts of the p lant Citizens for Healthful Air in San Marcos (CHASM) joined the NCCC in opposition to the project. In 1985 CHASM garnered enough signatures to put the issue before the v otes in April of that year. The petition was later thrown out by a Vista Superior Court judge. The issue wasfinallybrought to the voters in September of 1987 by the City Council. The approval to build the incinerator was granted by a narrow margin of 229 votes. After the vote, Carlsbad, Escondido and Encinitas filed a suit to block the trash plant's construction. The cities cited economical and environmental reasons. In 1988, the three cities filed another suit challenging the trash plant; five additional suits were filed by other parties in the same year. Thibadeau says plant is safe. According to Thibadeau, the incinerator STORY SEE TRASH/PAGE A9 BY JONATHAN YOUNG & LARRY B0ISJ0LIE �TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1991/PIONEER T RASH CONTINUED FROM PAGE A9 would have fallen within state air pollution control guidelines. "There's no environmental issues for the incinerator, i t's economical," says Thibadeau. Paul Connett, a chemistry professor at St. Lawrence University in Canton, N.Y., and an expert in trash-to-energy plants, says that incinerators do pose significant environmental problems as well as environmental ones. Connett was brought to the area by the NCCC to help fight the p roject "Not only will this thing be a financial nightmare for the citizens of this community for the next 20 years, but the current environmental dangers of this incinerator are not being addressed," he says. Connett says trash incinerators release high levels of dioxins and mercury into the skies. One-third of a gram of mercury can contaminate a lake the size of Lake San Marcos. Connett says incinerators usually pump out250,000 grams of the substance per year. Economical feasibility doubted Even though disputes rage over the environmental impact ofa trash-to-energy plant, another argument is ensuing over its economical feasibility. " I'm opposed to the incinerator primarily because i t's not the best economical solution," says Harmon. ' There's cheaper, less expensive ways to handle the trash problem." He says the rising cost of the trash plant NEWS T m opposed to the incinerator r R O U B L E S primarily because it's not the best economical solution.

This is the most economical way to solve the problem.' LEE THIBADEAU, SAN MARCOS MAYOR JERRY HARMON, ESCONDIDO MAYOR would be absorbed by the taxpayers and not Thermo Electron. Connett says existing trash plants are economical nightmares for taxpayers. He cites a case in Warren County, N J., where resident were promised a $37 per ton tipping fee but ended up paying $98 per ton. Cost for the proposed trash plant already has risen from an originally estimated $100 million to $325 million. "This is the most economical way to solve the problem," Thibadeau says about trash p lant He says that a potential landfill site off of Twin Oaks Valley Road just north of Deer Springs Road would cost taxpayers more money per year than the trash-to-energy p lant The 550-acre proposed landfill site would cost $200 million and be operational for 16. years, whereas the incinerator, costing $125 million more* would be open for 30 years. In addition, the incinerator would produce 303 million watts per hour per year of electricity. A9 Citing that the agreement would force the utility to pay $46 million more than it would to buy power from other sources, SDG&E filed a request to dissolve the contract Thermo Electron says that the ensuing rate hike for electricity consumers in San Diego County would amount to only $ 1 to $2 annually per household. If the contract is dissolved, the county would have to pay even more money to build the plant. Another concern facing the county's Supervisors was whether North County cities would try to starve the incinerator by not bringing their garbage to San Marcos. At the time of last month's vote, eight North County cities indicated they would not use the trash-to-energy facility because they oppose the incinerator idea. In order for the proposed incinerator to operate, it requires 625,000 tons of trash per year. The county would have been required to provide the necessary amount of trash or pay a penalty fee to Thermo Electron. Trash transfer centers planned In addition to the trash-to-energy plant, a trash transfer center was planned also at the site. The transfer center would separate recyclable garbage from non recyclable trash before the incineration process. Recyclables would then be sent to recycling centers. The county wants seven of the transfer centers to be built throughout the area. Four cities, Escondido, Carlsbad, San Marcos and Vista have already said they will accept transfer centers if they are proven to be economically feasible. The city of Vista has reviewed the proposal but have already come across opposition from residents. "Anything you want to do is with a lot of opposition," says Bernie Rappaport, Vista City Council member. Rappaport said that once the centers are in place they will not be noticed. "Once they get it put in, no one notices i t's there. I t's just the thought that causes all the havoc," he says. An article in National Geographic cites that as much as 67 percent of all solid waste in landfills i s recyclable. Unfortunately, there is little current market for recycled products. Surpluses of recycled paper, for instance are overflowing. "There is no market for recyclables," says Thibadeau. "The curbside material ends up in kinko's^f^f the copy center *' ™ w. m Mams m .

Clark said there are still a few Arts and Science faculty members not gathered with their other College colleagues. With two Colleges staying in Building 125, one College moved. "College of Education moved to Building 135," Clark said. The Library, Computer Labs, and the Center for the Study of Books in Spanish for Children and Adolescents remain in Building 135. Along with the College of Education, the Associated Students moved into Building 135 where the Writing Center was last semester. With the Writing Center moved to a smaller space in the Library, Dr. Ken Mendoza, professor in the English Department, expressed concerns over the loss of the old location. Mendoza said the Writing Center serviced over 300 students last semester. He said he was concerned over whether the smaller space can accommodate so many students. "It is unfortunate that we lost such a valuable multipurpose teaching facility," Mendoza said. Mendoza recognized the importance of student government and the need to have its office located in an accessible place on campus, but said he will be forced to seek a larger space that will accommodate more students. In addition to finding a room for the student government, the Student Affairs Office and the A.S. made it possible for other student groups to get offices. "All student organizations have offices now," Clark said.

With SDSU vacating Building 800, CSUSM expanded several departments there. "We had to do some remodeling for more personnel in Admissions and Records," Clark said. "We now have space for Career Planning and Placement and School Relations." The Bookstore, Health Services and the Student Lounge stayed in Building 800. One group, however, did get moved off campus. Due to the lease specifications and other city codes, the science department moved into a new laboratory facility on San Marcos Boulevard. "The science complex has five faculty offices, two classrooms, a major instructional lab and a prep room," Farris said. "I love i t," said Larry Cohen, founding faculty in biology. ' The identity of a scientist is tied to a lab. This gives us a home where we feel like faculty." Cohen doesn't foresee any difficulty in students commuting between rfwuMyen, Brenda Brubaker Off-Campus the two campuses. "Even if you don't have a vehicle, you can get there in half a hour by walking," he said. " It'll b e interesting to see if people get into exercise (by walking there)." According to Farris, half of the off-site campus is used as a warehouse for the entire university. Besides the two classrooms in the lab facility, on-campus classrooms are in Building 145 and Building 800. "Our goal was to have everything in place and settled in by the time classes started,'* Clark said, " ...and there's a lot to get ready just in the classrooms." She said everything from desks to batteries in the clocks had to b e arranged for the 17 classrooms. To assist with morale on campus during the move, July was proclaimed Moving Madness Month. Dress codes included T-shirts and jeans and several theme days were planned. "It was good for everyone," Clark said. "It made people relaxed with everything that was going on. "Everyone was very good about the move. W e appreciate that because it was a very big ordeal."

The faculty will be working on that in the next year or two. We need to get unconditional accreditation. We'll be doing that in the spring of 1993. We have accreditation right now, but since we are so new we couldn't even apply for unconditional accreditation. We have some very exciting opportunities in international education. We have a faculty committee looking at that. I would like to see some students join some of these committees at work through the Associated Students. I hope students will take advantage of some of the international opportunities in store for them.

The garbage pile, known as Mount Trashmore by nearby residents, will expand horizontally 230 acres, possibly crippling businesses and blocking the ocean views of those living in the area. County officials are concerned that the landfill might contaminate ground water, thus endangering wildlife and public health.

A T HOUGHTS "He that lies with dogs, rises with fleas." GEORGE HERBERT At the end of last semester I heard tell of something that has caused my spleen to fester the entire summer. It's not that I know what a spleen does or where it is exactly, but I am sure that it is an internal organ that has something to do with blood. It was at that period of the school year when evaluations were passed out in classes and students were awarded the opportunity to gauge the instructional abilities of their professors that my ailment began. Upon hearing that evaluations from the previous semester were virtually ignored by the administration, a group of students approached a dean to inquire about the reasons for the snub. Among other things, the dean replied that, in some cases, first-semester evaluations amounted to little more than a popularity contest and that students may have been coerced into writing positive evaluations by instructors eager to return. The dean also stated (and correctly so) that the university was not obligated to use the evaluations for personnel rehiring. It was also stated by the Academic Senate that the evaluations were not of acceptable quality. In the case of some top-notch professors, there was no effort made by the administrative powers-that-be to discover how competent their classroom performances were. ations contend that some instructors were little more than participants in a popularity contest?

LARRY BOISJOLIE A.S. President encourages participation On behalf of the A.S. and A.S. Council, I extend ahearty hello to this fall'scrop ofCSUSM students. For those of you returning, I welcome you all back from your brief respite. This year promises to be one of transition, to say the least. As it goes with new organizations, and the university is no exception, there will be growing pains at all levels. We the students will not be immune to the difficulties associated with such a process. For many of us, being here at CSl TSM during its infancy can be both an exciting time as well as a time of considerable apprehension. As a result, I wish to instill in all of you to be prepared for the unexpected. You will be part and parcel to the changes that our university will experience. But, you have, through your vigilance and campus involvement, the ability to assist in the developmental process of this university and to deal with the unexpected. What do I mean by assisting in the developmental process? Well, one specific thought comes to mind, student government involvement The A.S. is the representative student organization on campus. Without the sponsorship of the A.S., no campus clubs will be officially recognized, nor can any student-sponsored campus events take place. In addition to the A.S., involvement in the Pioneer and the Yearbook are two noteworthy leadership organizations. The Pioneer provides adopted its Constitution and Articles of Incorporation.

The exhibits have enjoyed earthshaking popularity , increasing the attendance at some museums many times over. Attendance at the Louisiana Nature and Science Museum, for instance, grew from an average 18,000 visitors to 275,000 during the fivemonth Dinamation exhibit. The Cleveland Museum ofNatural History also experienced dramatic attendance increases during the display's run. It saw an increased attendance of 287,000 in a four month period. he Dinamation story began nearly a decade ago when 47year-old Chris Mays, a pilot working for TWA, decided that flying commercial airplanes wasn't mentally taxing enough. Mays quit the airlines and opted to seek new opportunities. "I was bored for a number of years flying airplanes," Mays says. "I wasn't using creative energies." From a neighbor, Mays discovered robotized dinosaurs on public display in Japan. He also found that the company which produced the dinosaurs was putting some of its creatures up for sale. Mays mentioned the discovery to neighbor Tom Stifter, who suggested that he buy the robots for resale in the United States. Mays followed his neighbor's advice and Dinamation was born. The first group of Japanese dinosaurs cost Mays $500,000. "We looked for ways to display the dinosaurs. We thought of displaying them in fairs and malls," Mays says. "Our last thought was to travel around and display them in tents." However, even the best laid plans of mice and iguanodons run into snags. Mays found the market for his Japanese-constructed dinosaurs to be slim. He finally decided on selling the robots to museums, but budget cuts in the early 1980s forced them to turn T down Mays' products. Museums were also not convinced that mechanical dinosaurs would be accepted by the sceptical public or the scientific community. After Mays donated the presence of a half-sized triceratops to the Los Angeles Museum of Natural History to provide background for its annual dinosaur ball, he hatched the idea of running joint-venture displays with museums. "I knew then and there which direction to go," he says. By renting dinosaur exhibits to museums, Mays found a way to launch a multi-million dollar company while giving the public a chance to view representations of the prehistoric p ast Renting dinosaurs isn't cheap, but the exhibits turned out to be a major attraction for museums. The Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh paid more than $150,000 to Dinamation for a 14-week exhibit which boosted attendanceby hundreds of percentage points. Unfortunately the Japanese dinosaurs lacked scientific accuracy. They were little more scientifically accurate than Godzilla. On urgings from a "friendly museum director," Mays decided that he would build his own dinosaurs. He enlisted a panel of advisers which included some of thé world's top paleontologists to help him design more scientifically accurate models. Among the paleontologists were: Robert Bakker, adjunct curator of Paleontology at the University of Colorado in Boulder, George Callison, professor of Biology at Cal State Long Beach; Craig Black, the director of the Los Angeles County Natural History Museum; and H arley Armstrong, curator of Paleontology at the Museum of Western Colorado in Grand Junction. By May of 86, May opened a plant to construct his own dinosaurs. he process of building the dinosaur fantastic begins with the board of advisers. The paleontologists discuss whether to add to or improve existing displays or create T Museum explores previous, current prehistoric skull reconstructions How do scientists know what a prehistoric man or woman looked like just by examining a fossil skull or a few bone fragments? This question is explored in detail in a new exhibit at the San Diego Museum of Man called "FacesonFossils: The Reconstruction of Human Ancestors" running through January, 1992. The exhibition, a collaboration between artist William Munns of Altered Images, Inc., and the San Diego Museum of Man, explains old and new methods of reconstruction and how the process has developed over the years. Historical studies feature the Museum's 1915 collection of drawings and sculptures emphasizing how social prejudices often shaped the scientific interpretations. Examples include Piltdown Man (the infamous anthropological hoax), Neanderthal Man, and Java Man. % Explanation of the modern process shows the clay reconstruction of A Dinamation worker helps sculpt the head of "Big Rex," the company's life-sized robotic a fossil skull in four stages: first as the bare skull, second with basic muscumodel of a Tyrannosaurus rex. lature, third with cartilage and skin, and fourth as a complete depiction of new exhibits featuringadifferent view tologist Callison. of the many facets of prehistoric life.

Prehistoric San Diego is the focus of a new temporary exhibition showing through Nov. 3 at the San Diego Natural History Museum in Balboa Park. A vast collection of fossil remains, representing 76 million years of San Diego natural history, will take visitors back to a world when dinosaurs roamed the earth, man didn't exist, and the area was completely underwater. The exhibit displays fossils from five different geologic time periods. The Cretaceous (76 m illion years ago) is the oldest time period and includes the remains of a hadrosaur, nodosaur and several species of marine invertebrates. These specimens were found in the Carlsbad area. The Eocene Epoch (40-50 million years ago), containing the remains of tapirs, rhinoceros and primates, represents fossils throughout North County. The East Lake region of eastern Chula Vista is where many of the specimens of the Oligocene Epoch (28 million years ago) were found. These include the remains of camels, oreodonts, birds and reptiles. The Pliocene Epoch (2-3 million years ago) contains the largest number of fossil remains, most of which were excavated in the Chula Vista area. Whales walrus, sharks and sea birds are just some of the specimens on display. Anza-Borrego Desert State Park is where species from the Pleistocene Epoch (900,000-1.3million years ago) were excavated. They include examples of ice age mammals; mammoth, bear and saber c at "It is important to note," says Tom Demere, Museum paleontologist, "that many of these fossils represent remains of species new to science.

How did they really live? Don't look toward the new show 'Dinosaurs' for any correct answers. According to the new ABC show, these enormous reptiles seem to represent a mixture of the main characters in the 'Honeymooners' and the 'Flintstones.' This show reeks of erroneous information and character ripoffs. Earl Sinclair (remember the green Sinclair dinosaur?) is a domestic "father dinosaur" that has a personality and stomach s imilar to Ralph Kramden's and Fred Flintstone's. Earl's wife, Frances, stays home and continually begs him for money, just like Alice Kramden and Wilma Flintstone, while Earl's friend, Roy, is exactly like Ed Norton, tall and skinny, and always cajoling his best buddy. Unlike real dinosaurs, these dinosaurs behave and dress like modern humans. They live in houses with modern conveniences, have-jobs, and their problems parallel human ones. ReVÎeW Pushing trees down for a living, Earl works for a company that develops land for dinosaur housing. Earl, like most every other worker in America, cannot seem to meet the financial demands of the family In a recent show, Earl reminisces about life before family, where he would have eaten his children and not worried about finances and responsibilities. Earl decides to go back to his past, the forest During the program, Earl leaves his home for the safety of the forest, where his ancestors lived, but cannot survive without "cooked" meals and a soft bed. These strong reptiles cannot survive in the wilderness; civilization has overcome them. The final scene leaves us with a false picture. Earl, with his newlyhatched son, watches cavemen outside his window. The cavemen, clothed in animal skins, try to roll a round object (possibly thefirstwheel?) while the remains of a fire sputters next to them. To the viewer, these "beings" are 2 V2« S I E 1L F not as ci vilized as the dinosaurs. Furthermore, it is prehistorically preposterous to portray dinosaurs and cavemen existing during the same time period. Instead of personifying the animals, the program should depictdinosaurs as they really lived. If the networks did that, a chance might exist that they could actually present an "educational" show; that would be something against their grain. 'Dinosaurs' uses clever costuming, developed by the son of the late Jim Henson, but the plots are inconsistent and sometimes overly corny. The premiere segment, for instance, was unbearably bad, however, a show that has Earl looking eagerly forward to tossing his mother-in-law into a tar pit is an instant dark-comedy success. 'Dinosaurs' deserves instant mass extinction. If the executives at ABC don't decide to put the show out of its misery, then maybe we all will get lucky and a meteor will strike the programming offices. Still, i f you want to endure this prehistoric torture, 'Dinosaurs' airs 8:00 p.m. on Wednesdays on ABC. NEXT ISSUE: Pioneer Will Bring You To New Heights...

After roaming the planet for 140 million years, dinosaurs ended their reign on the planet 65 million years ago. Theories on the sudden extinction of the many species of animals bring heated debate within the scientific community. According to scientists, the species that survive today represent just one percent of the life forms that have lived on Earth. The history of life on the planet is punctuated with episodes of mass extinction followed by periods of wild diversity among those species surviving. Various theories have been put forth by scientists to explain these events and multiple factors may contribute to any or all mass extinctions. All mass-extinction theories point to changes in the Earth's environment as the direct cause. Here are some of those theories: • Meteorites: If a huge meteorite struck the planet, it could cause high winds, 2,000 degree rock vapor and an enormous cloud of dust Some of the expected after-affects would include fires, dust-darkened sky, acid rain and a greenhouse e ffect If the meteorite was hurled into the ocean, the resulting tsunamis would cause upwelling of cold, oxygen-poor water. This might account for the extinction of marine animals. The meteorite theory is often used to explain the demise of the dinosaurs. Samples of iridium, a metal rare on Earth but common in meteors, have been taken from three distinct sites-New Zealand, Denmark and Spain-that were enriched with soot, which may indicate that global fires resulted from the i mpact • Massive volcanism: Particles ejected into the air during eruptions would block sunlight« initiating a period of cooling. This theory is applied to dinosaur extinction by some researchers who note that the die-off started at least two million years before the end of the Cretaceous period and may have continued well beyond it. • Continental drift: As land masses are moved by plate tectonics, the planet may undergo radical climatic changes. This may be the best explanation for the disappearance of 96 percent of all species at the close of the Permian Era-easily the most severe extinction of all time. While terrestrial life was just beginning to flourish during the Permian, tectonic forces joined all of the planet's continents into a single colossal land mass. This caused a vast reduction in shallow offshore habitats. Pangea, as the supercontinent is known, extended from pole to pole, which would bring about a series of ice ages. Tropical seas would have chilled and the climate on land would have been dry and frigid. • Competition: Some mass extinctions appear to have been accelerated by the development or expansion of newer species. This may have been related to changing sea levels creating or obliterating land bridges and thus affecting the emigration of animals. The first great extinctions are generally explained with this theory. Primordial slime, for example, was unable to tolerate the oxygen produced by the up-and-coming stromatolites. The stromatolites, in turn, became the most successful life form on Earth, filling shallow warm oceans and eventually altering the chemistry of the seas and atmosphere. This allowed animals to develop, which fed on the stromatolites and brought their demise except in the most remote and protected areas. Competition may also have played a role in the dinosaurs' last stand. Scientists find evidence that small, primitive mammals feeding in great numbers on flowering plants may have significantly reduced the food supply for herbivorous dinosaurs. The most recent episode of mass extinction can clearly be attributed to competition. It started about 11,000 years ago and has accelerated toward the present Humans as hunters initiated, or at least aggravated the extinction of saber-toothed cats, mastodons, mammoths, giant sloths, short-faced bears, dire wolves and other large mammals at the close of the last iceage. Humans as developers continue to accelerate the extinction rate right up to the present, one of the greatest mass extinctions of all time.

By o bserving a nimals, Dinamation's scientists are able to add layers of muscle and skin to dinosaur skeletal information. They take moving x-rays of living animals to see how bones reflect muscles. Callison suspects that many prehistoric animals were not of the traditional brown or green hues the public has grown to accept. He theorizes that they were brightly colored, using hues like birds or animals of today. "We're attempting to show dinosaurs as i nteresting c reatures," Callison says. ' There were so many sizes and shapes of dinosaurs that we feel they had diversity in color as weU." Callison indicates that the large eyes and optic nerves of many dinosaurs suggests that they were sensitive to color. They may have used color for mating purposes or for natural camouflage. Since it is currently impossible to determine which hues the dinosaurs had, Dinamation's scientists and artists can only guess on their colors. The sounds which the dinosaurs emitted are also a matter of speculation for the Dinamation team. "We will never know what sort of vocal organs a dinosaur had, but v/e do know something about the size and shape of various resonating chambers," Callison says. For the Tyrannosaurus rex at the Wild Animal Park, Dinamation used the vocalizations of birds and other reptiles related to the long extinct animal and tried to create a "biologically feasible" voice. The result is a terrifying low-frequency roar. ecause of the speculation involved in creating dinosaur colors and sounds, some museums refuse to display Dinamation robots. "The American Museum in New Y ork i s r eluctant to d isplay Dinamation exhibits because they represent colors and patterns that are unknowable. They prefer to stick to what is known rather than displaying a possibly false representation," says Callison. He admits there is proper justification to the museum's claim, but also points out that Dinamation's speculations are built upon a solid scientific foundation and not pure guesswork. Even though the American Museum won't utilize the colorful robot- B Workers at the Dinamation plant load "Big Rex" on a flatbed truck with the help of a forklift. The life-sized robot is currently on display at the San Diego Wild Animal Park. ics, Callison says they do display paintings which depict dinosaurs in a more colorful manner than does Dinamation. Other prestigious museums feel similarly to the American Museum. The Field Museum in Chicago and the Peabody Museum in New Haven, Conn, also adhere to the conservative conventions held by traditional natural history museums. Museums such as the American Museum have built their reputations on the fossilized remains of dinosaurs. A spokesperson for the American Museum says the museum has so many fossils, there is no room for a robotic exhibit which hypothesizes how a dinosaur may have looked. Yet, the presence of a dinosaur skeleton does not insure accuracy. A skeleton of an apatosaurus (previously known as brontosaurus) on display at the museum has the skull of a c amarasaurus. Scientists noted the error in the 70s but due to the instability of the skeleton, exchanging the skull has been too difficult an endeavor. F or years, the museum indicated in no way that the skull was incorrect Dinamation paleontologist Bakker says the skeletal displays at most museums are boring and do little in helping the viewer imagine dinosaurs dinosaurs.

Wednesday nights on ABC, couch potatoes can enjoy the sitcom 'Dinosaurs' at 8 p.m. The half-hour program follows the antics of a family of dinosaurs ruling a Flintstone-like community. Even though the program offers little in terms of scientific validity, it does give young ones the chance to visualize dinosaur fantasies. America's all-time favorite anchorperson, Walter Cronkite, hosts a four-part series on the Arts and Entertainment network called 'Dinosaur.' The series, scheduled from Sept. 8 through Sept. 11 at 8 p.m., explores the dinosauc world from a scientific point of view. ' Dinosaur' expounds the controversial theory that dinosaurs were not actually the forefathers to lizards and snakes but to birds. The program examines all aspects of dinosauria from extinction to personality. �TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1991/PIONEER Women find heroic new niche in films ACCENT B9 'T2' hits hard with effects, but lacks story Most male Hollywood directors to battle the mother of all aliens.

Everything changes when an updated terminator shows up to finally, do away with John Connor, the man who will eventually lead the resistance* against the computer controlled world] of the future. Following in this terminator's" f ootsteps is none other than Schwarzenegger, this time playing a5 good guy sent by John into the past to protect himself and his mother from; this new threat. Eddie Furlong plays the 12-year-: old John who has a hard time grasping all of this when Arnie saves him the first time from the indestructible new terminator, made from liquid metal; who can adapt and change his form to* fit any situation. The story follows John, Sarah and Arnie as they try to alter the course of future world events and kill off the new terminator, a T-1000 model played by Robert Patrick. The real star of this picture isn't Arnie, but the special effects. Patrick's terminator character is defined by the constantly changing forms he adopts. But Schwarzenegger needs a worthy opponent or it really isn't an interesting movie, is it? He definitely has his hands full with this enemy and, as usual, he plays it very straightforward. 'Terminator 2 ' will keep you on the edge of your seat and make you laugh, but in final analysis, die first film had a simplicity that no amount of special effects can improve upon. J > «111 s§ �Dead Again' misses plot pieces but comes alive with wit, beauty Has Hollywood finally accepted the karmic teachings ¡of Shirley MacLaine? I Well, not exacdy. But Brit Kenneth Branagh has taken his own particular slant on the theory of reincarnation in Dead Again.' | Maybe you'll remember Branagh from his critically ^acclaimed 4Henry V' a few years ago. Following in the ¡footsteps of Laurence Olivier, he starred in and directed ithat picture, establishing himself as a talent of note in this pcountry. Branagh again has taken on directing and acting duties in 'Dead Again' along with wife Emma Thompson in this tale of a couple whose love survives death and four decades. Thompson plays a woman who has amnesia and Branagh is Los Angeles private detective Mike Church, who has agreed to help find out who she is. When he puts her picture in the paper, a strange man named Madson (Dereck Jacobi) appears and hypnotizes Grace (as Mike has named her), taking her back to 1948. She recalls in vivid detail the romance of Roman and Margaret Strauss, also played by Branagh and Thompson. (These sequences are filmed in black and white). It turns out that composer Roman was executed for the murder of his pianist wife Margaret, who was stabbed in the throat by gold-plated scissors. At first, Mike is reluctant to believe in the idea of past lives and karmic accountability, until he talks to a former psychiatrist, played by Robin Williams. WENDY WILLIAMS PIONEER FILM CRITIC The story meanders between the past and the present, revealing more and more about the people involved and how they have all gathered together in the present to relive the events and make retribution for the past. Believe it or not, there is a great deal of humor in this story. It would seem that Branagh has his tongue firmly in his cheek. While he is telling his story, you can sense a glimmer of mischievousness behind the scenes. He did, after all, cast one of the funniest comics of our day in a small, but crucial role. Even with this sly humor and a hugely talented cast, Branagh must still contend with a complicated story that leaves out a few important pieces to the puzzle. Despite that, i t's a beautiful film to watch. Black and white photography is a lost art these days whose glory Branagh gamely revives here. And despite the holes in the story, the film is engaging to watch. Even if Branagh and Hollywood aren't totally sold on the theory of reincarnation, 'Dead Again' gives us all a Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson dance through a complicated storyline in 'Dead Again.' chance to ponder the possibilities.

The first movie brought Arnold Schwarzenegger (he with the body fantastic) as the unstoppable killing machine sent to destroy her. The second adventure has Sarah teamed up with Schwarzenegger to thwart the efforts of an especially nasty terminator (Patrick Harris) to destroy her son (Edward Furlong). Looking at the metamorphoses of Sarah in the two movies we see the grand adaptability of women. She transmogrifies from a lowly greasepit waitress to a terminatress. Sarah actually becomes a better killing machine in the second movie than Arnold the mezomorph himself. The social consciousness of Sarah is the heart and soul of T2.* Driven by the certainty of global nuclear destruction, she will do anything to preserve the world for her children. She has become a necessary animal to stop the grim future of the human race. Benign beauty has become a killing beast. Final credits.

Pack a picnic basket or purchase a bucket of chicken, grab two beach chairs, include a warm blanket, and you are ready for a production of 'Evita' at the outdoor Moonlight Amphitheatre in V ista. The atmosphere at the Moonlight is warm, cozy and friendly. While watching the production, you can enjoy the stars, both on stage and in the sky. 'Evita' portrays the life of Eva Duarte from the age of.fifteen to her climb up the social ladder (by sleeping with men of higher and higher positions), to her status as wife of dictator Juan Peron, tcrher death from cancer at a ge 3 3. Alicia Irving performs the role of Eva, referred to as Evita in the height of her success. A t t he b eginning o f t he performance, one wonders whether she can handle the dancing and the singing, but Irving proves herself when she sings "Don't Cry for me Argentina." Irving masters the older Evita much better than the younger, more energetic E va. CheGueverra,played by Jim Graft, becomes the narrator and the judge Alicia Irving is Eva Peron in the Moonlight Amphitheatre's production of 'Evita.' The show runs through Sept. 9. for "Evita." C he's actions are threatening because of his opposition to the tyrannical ruling of Peron. However, he is also the objective bystander who helps the audience see both the good of Evita and the evil of Juan Peron. The most striking, electrifying scene is when Evita convinces the unions to support her husband, Peron, as president The stage, aglow with torches and voices, contains splashes of colors and pictures supporting the unions. The song, " A New Argentina," is a strong militaristic example of the unions' solidarity and support of Peron. The scene portrays the strength and love Evita possesses for and from her people. Another scene, much lighter than the union scene, is with the "high society people," who strongly disapprove of Evitabeing married to Peron. They glide on stage in one large, tightly joined group, all wearing black and white, singing their displeasure and dislike for Evita. Their gestures and faces are hilarious, and, at the end, they must strip off their clothes and jewels and mingle with the peasants of Argentinabecause ofEvita's orders. The "group" provides the play with light humor, inviting the audience to enjoy it. One great addition to this play is the still pictures of Evita, Argentina, and Peron, that are provided on each side of the stage, intentionally coinciding with each scene in the play. Evita runs through Sept. 9; all shows are at 8 p.m. The Moonlight Amphitheatre is located in Brengle Terrace Park in Vista. With only $6 for lawn seats and $10-$ 12 for the permanent seating, this production is well worth a viewing. / t he HEADQUARTERS "o head of the rest' Nail Special wt Jacque $ 7 44-2911 s Full S et A crylic 30°° (Regular 40°°) Manicures $10°° (Regular $12°°) Offer expires 10/15/91 Services Facials-Waxing-Body Wraps • Manicures & Acrylic Nails • Computer Hair Designs • Specializing in Perms European Hair Coloring & Weaving • Massages.

In August of last year, the "Ring of Fire" crew started filming geologists monitoring the activity of Mount S t Helens. Several weeks later, without warning, there was an explosion. Ash and steam shot 25,000 feet into the sky. As one geologist commented, "It could ruin your whole day." Theclosecalls whilefilming4<Ring of Fire" were all in a day's work for the dedicated film crews, but they resulted in some of the most extraordinary volcano sequences ever filmed. Spectacular volcanic eruptions show the process that both enriches and destroys the lives of those living there. Including Mount St. Helens, the film shows footage of Navidad in Chile, Sakurajima in Japan and Mount Merapi in Indonesia. Varied, scenes of humanity from around the Ring of Fire show the many ways the human spirit triumphs when confronted with imminent catastrophe - from one culture's practice of volcanic worship to a highly technological society's development of seismic prediction methods. "Part of the human condition is to live constantly poised between life and death, and there's no more direct evidence for that than the way these cultures have adapted to life on the Rim,'' Kirsch said. As plumes of ash explode into the sky, viewers will witness the birth of a new volcano in southern Chile. The film takes audiences to the annual evacuation drill held on the J apanese volcanic i sland of Sakurajima, on the anniversary of the eruption of 1914. This volcano is still active, menacing the 7,000 people of Sakurajima with frequent ashfalls and the danger of more serious eruptions. Other scenes transport viewers to the edge of the fiery lava lake in Hawaii and to Tokyo and San Francisco, where the risk of earthquakes profoundly impacts life.

The endowment, the largest gift given to Cal State San Marcos to date, constituted the primary funding for the first CSUSM International Festival. At an evening reception held Sept. 25, 1990, for 500 area business and community l eaders, Y oshihiko Kawamura, president of Itoman & Company, Ltd., presented a check for $50,000 to CSUSM's President Bill Stacy. The check represented the first annual increment to fund the International Festival. The purpose of the yearly event is to promote public understanding of other nations' business and culture. " We a rc becoming a global cconomy and must prepare future generations of leaders to operate in an i nternational e nvironment," Kawamura said when presenting the initial check to Stacy. " We are aware of your new university's special, if not unique, mission to train your students to succeed in the international marketplace. As your new neighbors, we want to help." Kawamura said. The Japanese trading firm will contribute $50,000 each year for the next decade as an endowment to provide permanent financing for the annual festivals. The festival will move to the permanent campus next year upon the completion of Phase I of construction. Stacy said the $500,000 endowment i s the largest gift to date for his university and certainly among the largest gifts for any public college or university. "An endowment of this size will contribute greatly to helping our university in San Marcos meet its international mission," Stacy said. "We're especially delighted an international company the size and stature of Itoman is the benefactor," he said. With annual sales worldwide of $5 billion, Itoman is a specialty trading company dealing in foodstuffs, metals and machinery, leisure and real estate. Last November, Stacy met with several community and university members to start the process of creating the first festival. Dr. Donald Funes, professor of Arts and Sciences and chair of the festival committee, said their discussion then was to determine "what a festival was." "We had to learn how to do it," Funes said. The committee entitled the first festival "Our Global Village" with their initial plans of creating different V^O/UX4>OfLALQy areas where performers and food and craft vendors of like cultures would gather. "The problem was we didn't have enough space," Funes said. He also cited the difficulty of obtaining enough vendors fro every culture to be represented. In early spring, 1991, the committee altered its original plan and now has three main villages: a main performance area, foods and crafts. Funes said the performers were easy to find. "The concerts went together quite quickly," he said. Bonnie Biggs, CSUSM librarian, organized the entertainment end of the festival. Funes said her organizational experience with the American Indian CulturalFair and other festivals were a tremendous advantage. Performers include Lion dancers, Japanese Taiko drum/dance ensembles, mariachis, a Middle Eastern Hajji Baba group, traditional blues artists and an Afro-Cuban dance band. In the original plans, the vendors were faced with problems regarding certain food regulations. To avoid li- ability with private groups providing food, the committee decided to allow only commercial vendors to participate in the festival. The third village of the festival got a late start "The crafts kept sliding to the back burner," Funes said. A.S. Council member Venus Van Handel approached the committee in April and volunteered her time to organize the craft vendors. "We have real cultural diversity in the cultural groups that are involved," Van Handel said. Vietnam, China, Ireland, the Philippines, Latin America, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Turkey, the Ukraine and Native American communities are represented Van Handel said. Funes said the committee is expecting festival attendance to reach between 3,000 and 4,000 people. Although the public is encouraged to attend, Funes said the festival is primarily for the students and their families. A large portion of those expected to attend would be students if they came w^th their families. UllCUVQSl/ APARTMENTS 2 BRAPTS.

With 200 students voting in the Oct 7 and 8 poll, Measure B, which approved the fee, passed by a landslide 73 percent of the vote. An enabling measure allowing the A.S. to collect the imposed fee also was . adopted with 8 2 percent of the student vote. Along with the f ee measures* Measure C, which established principles of remunerations for A.S. Council members, also passed. The measure squeezed by with a 5 2 percent "yes" vote. "We are surprised and pleased by the results,"said A.S. President JoseChapman. "It proves that all the work on the elections did not g o for naught." • • ? Last April, students narrowly approved a $15 A.S. membership fee, but failed to pass the enabling measure allowing the organization to collect the charge. As a result, the A.S. turned to the University Foundation for a $12,900 loan to attain funds. Last week's victory will give the A.S. a steady source of income and provide funds to repay the Foundation's loan. "We were certain to make sure A and B passed," Chapman said. He indicated that translations for the ballot measures that were printed on the ballot helped students understand for what they were voting. The translations provided pro and con explanations of the ballot measures in terms students could comprehend.

Measure C stands for council 'conflict' When the Associated Student Council put a measure on last week's ballot asking for the principle of receiving rerttUnerations, they had no idea that it would cause a stir. Measure C, which passed by a narrow margin of six votes, asked students to apprcfve the idea of establishing and awarding scholarship stipends, grants-in-aid and other remunerations to A.S. officers and Council members. "I was surprised at the reaction to the measure since it didn't establish anything but a principle," said Vicc President of Student Affairs Ernest Zomalt. He said the proposition did not commit the student body to any type of expenditure of funds. But other students saw the measure as an attempt by the A.S. Council to award themselves monetary compensation, for their work. In a letter to Pioneer, CSUSM student William Christensen noted, "The A.S. is quickly imitating the politicians in Washington and Sacramento who give themselves pay raises, bonuses and fringe benefits." Barbara Pender, editor of the campus yearbook, said that students serving on the A.S. Council should do so without pay. She said she believes the work should be performèd on a voluntary basis only. A.S. President Jose Chapman said the A.S. did not actively campaign for the measure because measures A and B establishing student fees were the "thrust" of the election.

Panic disorder can be treated if diagnosed quickly, properly Recently, The National Institutes o f Health c onvened a c onsensus conference on a very common disorder and have agreed (which i s not always the case) that it i s very responsive to treatment. Panic disorder is defined as discrete periods o f intense fear or discomfort that are not triggered by severe anxiety-producing stimulus. Most people with the disorder believe they are having a heart attack or some type of severe impending doom without any obvious precipitating event. Therefore, panic disorder is frequently misdiagnosed and consequently not properly treated. Although r ecognized s ince the 1960s, known to occur in families, and being maybe as common as 1 in 75 people, panic disorder i s s o often misdiagnosed that patients frequently have seen 10 or more doctors before they are properly diagnosed. Patients need to have at least four of the following symptoms for the diagnosis: shortness of breath, dizziness, palpitations (increased heart beat), trembling or shakings sweating, choking, chest pain, abdominal distress, numbness, fear o f dying, and w e vjiew f HEALTHNOTES BY DR. JOEL GRIN OLDS fear of going crazy or losing control. A person who has four or more panic attacks in one month i s considered to have panic disorder. Some may have isolated attacks and may not require treatment. Others may have infrequent attacks but live in constant fear o f attacks and would possibly benefit from treatment. What is exciting is that there is consensus that treatment really works. Antidepressant medications, other medications and cognitive-behavior therapies have been found to be effective. Combinations of the therapies are being researched. Fortunately, people w ho have been rendered dysfunctional by this disorder are now being helped with current therapy.

If you're a student at Cal State San Marcos, chanccs are the person sitting next to you in class is areentry woman. Reentry women comprise onethird of the student population at CSUSM. Many times, they face different obstacles than their younger classmatesand have differing reasons for seeking a degree. "I sec reentry as a long-term trend," says Sandy Kuchler, director of Student Developmental Services. "Many people switch focus or careers several times in their lives. They have seen education as the key to reentering the job market or transitioning from one career to another." Kuchler says that CSUSM is a "testimony of the number of students that are not of traditional age." She indicates that the focus of this older student body is on life-long learning. Reentry i s a grey term. Students in this category range from 25-35 years old and through their 70s. These students are sometimes called "adult learners" or "non-traditional age students." The average age of a student at CSUSM i s 2 9, four years greater than the national average. Many reentry students have families and jobs to tend to outside of their studies. Time management, childcare, elder care, fears about skill level and unreal expectations are some of the common dilemmas of reentry women. "Balancing time i s the biggest challenge," comments CSUSM reentry student Tanis Brown. Student Donna Hinke agrees, "My struggle is how to juggle family responsibilities with study and class time." Kuchler says, "Deep down inside, women f eel they need to do it all. They just can't do it all at the same level." To help provide support for those issues of letting g o and o f lowering expectations, Kuchler developed the W omen's I nformation N etwork (WIN). "Ideally," s ays Kuchler, "this educational should involve the entire family or significant others who initially may be very supportive of the decision to return to school. However, when reality sets in and the student is nolongeravailabletohelpmeetneeds, . there i s sometimes anger and frustration to deal with." One of WIN's functions i s to help them battle those frustrations. But, because many reentry students have so many other responsibilities, "I see reentry as a long-term trend. Many people switch focus or careers several times in their lives. They have seen education as the key to reentering the job market or transitioning from one career to another." SANDY KUCHLER/STUDENT DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES DIRECTOR providing a support group can be difficult. Kuchler says that many reentry women c ome to campus for just one class. For that reason, she says she is interested in hearing from women who may be interested in meeting at a time other than the scheduled meetings at noon on Tuesdays in the Student Lounge. Kuchler was a reentry woman herself, s o she i s sympathetic to the time demands on reentry women. "If a group of reentry women in one class wants to contact me, I'd love to get together and meet them," she says. Patti Elenz-Martin, a counselor in Counseling Services, also sees the reentry woman as plagued by business and responsibilities. "Sometimes hectic schedules can make students feel isolated or disconnected. I want to be sensitive to their schedules," says Elenz-Martin. "Some students may feel they don't have any options because they aren't aware of the choices or resources that may be available to them. Often, they have s o many classmates, they don't take time for themselves." Elenz-Martin says providing resources is a two-way street She is open to suggestions from students o f resources needed and workshops they would like to s ee offered. To provide information in a f lexible manner, Counseling Services and Career Planning offers a variety o f on-going workshops on topics like stress management, resume writing and an orientation to the SIGI computer programs for interest evaluation. Audio and video cassettes and pamphlets are also available to students. "Childcare i s another area of need on the agenda for the new facilities," Kuchler says. "Because o f tight state regulations, it is impossible to handle a childcare facility on our current campus." A childcare co-op is being formed and interested students should sign up in the Associated Students O ffice. Faculty members are receptive to the trend of older students. Dr. Ken Mendoza, professor of English, estimates that nearly 9 0 percent of his students are o f non-tradi- tional age. • "They havea stronger commitment to their studies, largely due to their l ife experiences which allow them to s ee a clear association between their goals, their experience and their university education," says Mendoza. �8 P IONEEB /TUESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 199!

Ami OUR VIEWS No soldier shall tered in any hous Columbus was important despite incorrect ideology There I was, sitting in the Student Lounge, eavesdropping as usual. Over there were these two grade school instructors discussing how to teach Christopher Columbus' discovery to their children. —Well, let's see, he discovered America. —Sure, but he was a bigot! —But nobody had ever discovered America, except maybe Leif Erikson. —He was a bigot too! —I think it's pretty important that he discovered A merica... — ... and started 500 years of oppression! You want to glorify a monster like that? — No, I guess you're right. We'll let the kids figure out for themselves who discovered America. Now, what about Lincoln Of course, the conversation may not have gone exactly as depicted, but I really wasn't taking notes. What I did note was the final insistence from both grade school teachers that Columbus be deglorified because of his belief in Manifest Destiny. Back then (a half a millennium ago) countries thought that they had a God-givenrightto claim territories. As a result, whole nations of people., like the American Indians, suffered from colonization and invasion. Obviously, with today'scrazc for political correctness, Manifest 'Destiny is hardlyan embraced doctrine. But, in the time of Columbus it was. When I was a child I revelled in stories of the age of exploration. Travelers like Magellan and Drake wererightup there with Captain Kirk in their quests for the unknown. Easily the most excellent explorer of them all was Columbus himself. It is difficult to understand all of the hullabaloo over Measure C in last week's Associated Students elections The measure seemed simple enough at first—asking students to approve theprinciple for awarding A.S. Council members stipends, grants and other forms of aid for work done in governmental meetings. Yet some saw the measure as a way for the A.S. to w easel i ts greedy fingers into the pocketbooks of s tarving s tudents. S ome state that the A .S. s hould serve without e xpecting or requesting STAFF EDITORIAL monetary awards. For children, d owngrading h istorical f igures, s uch a s Columbus, because they were trapped in time LARRY BOISJOLIE SEtSE PIONEER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF fal and social ideologies than our own, is counterproductive. It takes away their opportunity to cling to the ambitions of historical mentors. Just because Thomas Jefferson possessed slaves, for instance, doesn'tmean that he disregarded humanrights.JohnF. Kennedy's accomplishments cannot be ignored just because he slept with Marilyn Monroe. Bashing Columbus for beliefs that were accepted during his lifetime 4 99 years ago serves no purpose but to promote political correctness today. Who can say how the explorer would have gone about the business of discovering America in today 's society? History teaches us many lessons on many different levels. Our philosophies on how to treat others are directly gauged and formed by actions in the past but s o is the knowledge of the world around US'. Columbus taught us that there are always new horizons to be discovered and explored. Let's examine the man for that accomplishment and not stoop to mindless folly by nitpicking at his beliefs. Examining other A.S. organizations, it becomes readily apparent that such expectations are not realistic. Most A.S. council members throughout the Cal State system receive stipends from the student body. These stipends are paid for out o f student fees for the immense amount of time each member expends while serving on the council. Measure C does not award stipends to A.S. Council, it simply asked if students believe the principle of scholarships or grant-in-aid for council members is ethically correct. Why shouldn't it be? With a population that consists of one-third reentry women, CSUSM has a student constituency that is pressed for time and money. Many students have families and must hold a job while continuing studies. Taking time to serve on an A.S. Council can put an expensive squeeze on the pocketbook and limit income. The A.S. president's stipend of $ 3,600is barely a drop in the bucket for the time expended for the job. Most other CSUs award their A S . presidents stipends that are 10 to 2 0 times higher than CSUSM's. In addition, due to the small size of CSUSM and the newness of the student government, a greater time commitment for the president i s needed than at other schools. Many times he/she must serve on committees that are vacant from lack o f student participation. This time commitment does not allow the A.S. president to hold a work experience job apart from his/her other duties. Is token compensation too much to ask for such a sacrifice? When students are elected to A.S. positions, they are not elected into a priesthood where money and time must be sacrificedfor service. They areelectedintoacommunity that needs their services. In this case, thecommunity-at-large (students) should be receptive to the fact that fulfilling that need is costing A.S. members personally. �G overnor's veto of AB 101 j ustified: gay rights should stay home f rom work Pai State San Marcos IONEER C San Marcos, CA 92096 (619) 752-4998 E ditor-in-Chief L arry B oisjolie G raphics D irector J onathan Y oung A dvertising D irector: K aren W hitfield E ntertainment E ditor: D ebbie D uffy P hoto E ditor: K athy S ullivan STAFF WRITERS: Sheila Cosgrove, David Hatch, Elaine Whaley, Wendy Williams CONTRIBUTORS: Kim Courtney, Pamela Farrel, Dr. Joel Grinolds, Regina John PHOTOGRAPHY: Stacey Smith CARTOONIST: Daniel Hernandez Copyright © 1991, by P IONEER.

This is the quest of Don Quixote. fill j 111*?? Living in his own world, Quixote creates a w mmmmmmm^m society where he fights his adversaries and protects his friends. Whatever Quixote believes becomes reality to him. "Man of La Mancha," playing at the Civic Theatre in San Diego, recreates the spirit of Quixote with eloquent songs and superb acting. Performed on an elaborate stage, "Man of La Mancha" wanders through the life of Cervantes and his character, Don Quixote. The opening scene presents Cervantes, exquisitely performed by David Holliday (who also5 performs as .Quixote), as he and his servant are thrust into a prison. In order to avoid the other prisoners' abuse, Cervantes reveals a story about a traveling man, Quixote, and his trusty friend, Sancho, whimsically performed by Darryl Ferrera. All the prisoners within the prison interact in Cervantes' story by becoming characters for the telling of the story. Within Cervantes' story, Quixote encounters many different people, one of which he falls in love with and calls his "Dulcinea."

This crown admits them as part of the retinue of their champion knight. The blue crowns sit in the blue section and cheer loudly for the blue knight as he represents them during the ceremonial procession and games. The Count and Countess of Perelada, who preside over the games and banquet, greet the arriving guests. Their costumes are exquisite as arc their manners. The next adventure takes the guests into a hall of torture. Here over 30 authentic reproductions of instruments of torture and ridicule used during the Middle Ages are displayed. In this room are devices that were commonly found in Spanish dungeons and jails. Items of cruelty like the "Rack" and the "Interrogation Chair" to items o f humiliation like "Scolds Bride:" and "The stock and Pillories." Although the room is very interesting the additional $2 charged for the tour seems excessive. Trumpeters of the realm announce the opening of the Grand Ceremonial Arena.

Head trainer Victor de Lara is seen here demonstrating one of the specal jumps the horses perform during the show. the four course banquet In keeping with tradition, hands and fingers are the order of the day. And it is surprising just how great food tastes when one isn't encumbered with silverware. As guests enjoy their feast, colorfully attired knights and squires parade a team of championship Arabian horses. The feats of horsemanship are superb and the knights are true virtuosos of lance and javelin. After these warm-up games the countess gives knights flowers to present to a lady in his cheering sections. By the time the jousting begins the audience is intuned to their knights and to dismembering their whole chicken with eager enthusiasm, Many a cheer is given with chicken bones raised high. The jousting begins on horseback and continues on the arena floor with combatants using heavy SEE MANCHA/PAGE12 swords, battle axes and maces. As the audience cheers and boos the knights enact battles of old. The whole evening is one of fun and frolic. The acting, costumes, horses are superior: the food is good, the service terrific and the show entertaining. The knights are handsome warriors with nofonly tremendous accuracy with lances and swords but with beautiful and controlled horsemanship. "I started as a squire at Medieval Times," said Knight Michael D empscy." After about six months of hard work and long, daily training sessions, I finally achieved knighthood.".

As a resource aid, the center collects books in Spanish for children and adolescents which are published worldwide. Educators with the job of purchasing Spanish language books for their schools can travel to the center to see the books first hand and to obtain advice on which ones best meet their needs. People travel great distances to see the Center because it's the only one of its kind in the world. Its story is interwoven with that of Dr. Isabel Schon, its founder and director. Schon started the center last year because she felt a need to bring reading materials to Spanish speaking children. "If you can teach children to become critical readers, youcan teach them to become critical thinkers," she says. One of Schon's missions for the center is to lower the 60 percent dropout rate for Latinos in the United States. The Center is part of her method for achieving this goal and represents the culmination of years of work in thefieldof education. According to Schon, Spanish speaking immigrants have existed at the "sink or swim" level in American education. If children learned to speak English as if they were "immersed" in it, they had a chance at an education. If they didn't learn, they started to "sink" and fell behind. Schon says that four generations of a 60 percent dropout rate attests to the lack of success of this traditionally held method. Research shows that if children can learn to read in their native language first, they can transfer to English successfully in about three years. There are many common sense reasons for this rationale. Children that have grown up in a Spanish-speaking environment find it easier to learn to read in that language. Parents who speak Spanish can also help their children with lessons, giving the children a feeling of success. Schon says this feeling encourages students to feel better about themselves and thus be more - comfortable in school. Schon says a heightened sense of identity and self-worth is one of the keys to transferring from one language to another successfully. She stresses that a good bilingual program teaches culture and history along with language. There are also cultural reasons why Spanish speaking children may not have the love for reading that most English speaking children do. One reason, in Mexico for example, is that libraries are rare throughout the country. The city of Tijuana, for instance, has a population over one million but has no libraries. Mexican ' public primary schools have tio libraries and- New program addresses children's needs A new statewide Center for Collaboration for Children, dedicated to enhancing the relationships among children, families, education and social services, will be established at California State University, Fullerton, CSU Chancellor Barry Munitz announced Oct. 10. Funded in part from a $100,000 allocationfromthe Chancellor's lottery funds plus grants from the Arco Foundation and Annie E. Casey Foundation, the new Center will operate under Dr. Mary Kay Tetreault, CSUF's dean of the School of Human Development and Community Service. Sidney Gardner will be the Center's director. "There's a genuine need for a center to address the needs of California's 7.8 million children," Tetreault said. "We need to build new bridges across the walls dividing academic and community groups to concentrate on the whole child." Goals of the Center include: • Strengthening the role the CSU plays in educating and graduating thousands of teachers, social workers, counselors and health and human services professionals. • Working with faculty statewide to review theCSUcurriculum in education, health and human services to assess how well it provides professionals with the skills needed to collaborate with professionals from other children-related disciplines. • Restructuring children's services and public education in a way that would lead to libraries in high schools are a relatively recent development Although the Mexican government has a plantohave libraries in primary grades by 1994, economic conditions may delay this. Another reason for the lack ofreading among Spanish speaking children is that many of the books written for children in Spanish lack interest. "Approximately 70 percent of books written in Spanish for children are 'moralist* In other words they teach 4how to be good'" says Schon. "Many children don't grow up with a love for reading because so many of the books are boring and don't excite them." With the burgeoning population of Spanish speaking people in the United States, and especially Southern California, many schools have foundthemselveswiththedifficulttaskofhaving to stock libraries and classrooms with books in Spanish. The book center is becoming widely known and publishers world-wide are anxious to send books there because of the great exposure they receive. • i -. . , i new internships and programs placing students in settings where children and families are served holistically. • Incorporating models of multicultural collaboration in ways that promote unity rather than divide groups across racial and ethnic boundaries. • Providing in-service education and other community services^hat encourage public and private agencies to work together rather than along lines that fragment and sepárate the efforts of schools and other children's services agencies. • Conducting program and policy research to document what schools and state and local governments have done and could do to address the needs of children who are at risk of failure. The Center will be established immediately. Several CSU campuses will be involved in the system-wide program. The CSU graduates some 10,000 students per year in the children-services areas such as education, social work, child development, nursing and recreation. "For too long schools have gone one way and social service agencies have gone another," Munitz said. "This center will establish a multi-service approach to serving children. California's children are the future of CSU and the future of the state. We cannot ignore their needs or those of their families. We do that at the risk of failing our duty as educators." The center has collected nearly every book written in Spanish for children that has been published since 1989. Recently, a single shipment from Madrid brought 3,000 more copies. Schon has been a consultant on bilingual/ bicultiiral educational materials to schools, libraries and ministries of education in Mexico, Columbia, Guatemala, Argentina, Venezuela, Chile, Spain, Italy, Ecuador and the United States. She has received several national and international a wards including the 1987 Women's National Book Award. Along with conducting seminars and workshops for librarians and other educators, Schon also works with area businesses and hospitals. She has worked with nurses at Children's Hospital, selecting books for Spanish speaking children who stay there. Another important function of thebook center is to host an annual conference. The conference will highlight significant issues concerning reading and books for and about Hispanic/Latino young readers.

CSUSM expands global commitment to Africa L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER Seeking to fulfill its Mission Statement of global understanding, Cal State San Marcos, last week, sent a delegation of administrators and faculty to the country of Ghana. The travelers, Dr. Dorothy Lloyd* assistant dean of Education, Dr. Richard Millman, academic vice president and Dr. Komla Imoaku, professor of Fine Arts, l eft f or the African country to exchange ideas and establish ties with the university there. "We are discovering ways to implement our global society ambitions," said CSUSM President Bill Stacy/'Students and faculty will have to learn to be global citizens." Stacy said that each individual chosen for the mission represents a different faction of the educational process. Lloyd will seek methods of helping Ghana mold teachers. Millman will concentrate on areas of the curriculum relating to mathematics and science, while Imoaku will share his knowledge of art with African instructors. Stacy said the the process of interaction is one of two-way dialogue. The three delegates will not only share their expertise, they will learn from the perceptions and knowledge of the Ghana educational system. "We want to make international communication relatively commonplace at San Marcos," said Stacy. 'We want to make international communication relatively commonplace at San Marcos.' B ILL S TACY, C SUSM P RESIDENT He indicated that many faculty members already have traveled throughout the world and share their observations with other instructors. In the future Stacy hopes to continue projects, such as the mission to Ghana, by sending professors and administrators around.the world in search of new educational ideas and heightened global understanding. He hopes to strengthen ties with universities in Mexico, Canada, Japan, China and Europe. Stacy said he looks forward to the day in the not-too-distant future when he can send students abroad as well as faculty in an exchange program setting. CSUSM also hopes to gain international perspectives by becoming a point of visitation for universities world-wide. This week an Anglican faculty delegation from Cambridge University will visit the campus to learn of the country's newest facility for higher education. Potentially CSUSM might o ffer parallel courses to those taught at Cambridge or other universities around the world. Stacy said missions like the Ghana trip and the Anglican visit serve as a vehicle to bring in course ideas that might have alluded the university. ; With the introduction of a stateof-the-art phone system at the Twin Oaks Valley Road permanent campus site next year, Stacy said the interchange of ideas between countries will b e facilitated. The system will allow instantaneous audio-visual communications between universities around the world. " We can establish a dialogue here at CSUSM about w hat's happening elsewhere," Stacy said. "Being there (in Ghana) today is concrete proof that this institution is serious about global awareness." Stacy was originally slated to go to Ghana, but do the visit f rom the Anglican delegation and other pressing university matters he chose to stay in San Marcos. " I d idn't go because of lack of interest, things just needed to be done at this institution," Stacy said. Former instructor to read from newest novel REGIWA JOHN/PIONEER Former Cal State San Marcos English professor and published fiction author Duff Brenna will read selections from his new book Wednesday at 12:30 in the Student Lounge. The widely published author has won several national awards for his short stories and poetry. Hisfirstnovel, "The Book of Mamie', won much critical acclaim and the Associated Writing Programs Writing Award for best novel in 1988. Brenna also received a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in 1990. Brenna's new book, 'In Another Part of Heaven', addresses the loss of innocence imposed on children by adults. The theme is a recurring one in Brenna's books. "It is something I keep coming back to," Brenna says, ''because I find DUFFBRENNA/AUTHOR it so disturbing. Children have to find out that i t's a nasty world out there soon enough." Brenna says he feels that children should be allowed their few years of innocence. He has no understanding for parents who raise their children in a toxic environment of their making. He says that children can still triumph o ver d ifficult upbringings without turning into prostitutes and m urderers. ' In A nother P art of Heaven' i soneof hope for children as is ' The Book of Mamie'. In July of this year, Brenna sold the movie rights for ' Mamie' to JTK Productions of Canada and was hired to write the movie's screenplay.

"It won't happen to me," millions of heterosexuals would claim, " Idon't use intravenous drugs. I 'm straight" Last Thursday, however, those millions of denial-ridden A mericans may h ave found probable cause to worry over a disease that was formerly thought to be somebody e lse's problem when one EDITOR-IN-CHIEF of t he nation's greatest athletes announced he has the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Shortly after discovering that he was afflicted with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, Magic Johnson announced his immediate retirement from the National Basketball Association. Unlike the vast majority of prominent AIDS victims, Johnson contracted the deadly virus through heterosexual contact According to statisticsfromthe Center for Disease Control (CDC), almost 91 percent of adult men who have been diagnosed with AIDS through September 1991 became infected by having sex with other men or through the use of intravenous drugs. Johnson represents only 3 percent of those males who have contracted the virus through heterosexual contact Before the heterosexual population climbs atop its soapbox and claims that these statistics support their claim, is is important to note that 34 percent of all female AIDS patients contracted the disease through heterosexual contact AIDS is a nondiscriminatory disease. We have seen it take the life from children,friendsand loved ones. Since there is no known cure for the disease, it is up to each of us to take steps in preventing the spread of AIDS to the best of our abilities. With the integrity and courage he has shown on the basketball court, Johnson pleads to us all to take preventative measures in stemming the tide of one of the nation's most feared and deadly disease's. Johnson's recommendation of safe sex is not a new one. But now that one of the nation's true heroes has learned that casual sexual contact can be deadly, it is a recommendation worthy of further consideration. Johnson brought a magic to the basketball court that few, if any athletes, have been able to match. Out of respect for his courage and integrity, we can all help Johnson bring that magic to the fight against AIDS. L ARRY BOISJOLIE Basic courses essential at CSUSM Finding an identity at Cal State San Marcos is a dilemma that faces many students. Since the university is composed only of commuter students, there are no dormitories or Greek organizations to keep pupils at its shopping center site. Compounding the problem is the fact that many CSUSM students are forced to travel outside of the campus to fulfill basic lower-division classwork. Most of those students go to Palomar or Mira Costa only by default As a result a type of schizophrenia has developed with students who are both CSUSM students and attendees of local community colleges. A complete sense of identity is denied them by their university of choice. Since CSUSM offers only upper-division coursework, such a situation is understandable. At this stage ofdevelopment, CSUSM does not have the faculty or monetary support to accommodate those extra courses. But, at a university where each student is required to write a minimum of2,500 words per-semester, per-class, it is absolutely essential that some elementary coursework be offered. CSUSM population demographics suggest that many students in attendance are returning from scholastic absence. For some of those students a basic English, mathematics or science course might have been fulfilled 10 years ago. How can a university require students to readily assimilate upper-division classwork with such a gap without presenting some mode of refreshment? Instructors have shared disappointment that student proficiency in writing competency is below upper-division competency. But when students have to wait three or four semesters to get their basic English composition classes at Palomar, some CSUSM .students might not havebeen able to, as of yet, meet t heir r equirement T he s ame situation holds true for riiathematics and science. C lasses are so impacted at community c olleges t hat STAFF EDITORIAL some CSUSM students have not been able to gain a seat. As a result, they meet their upperdivision biology or math theory classes with confusion. In addition, CSUSM might be able to more readily meet state Full Time Equivalent (FTE) percentages with just a meager offering of lower-division classes. Many students at CSUSM are full time, but their units are divided between two part-time course loads. All that is asked of the university is that they put one course for English composition, one for basic biology and one for college level mathematics on the schedule. These three courses are the most impacted at community colleges and probably the most lacking of CSUSM students. If you are a student at CSUSM who is forced to take a lowerdivision required class elsewhere, then send a small cordial complaint to Academic Vice President Richard Millman or your department dean. Such an action will require much less effort than finding parking at Palomar. If enough students voice their concerns, then perhaps administration will see the benefits of such abasic accommodation.

A T HOUGHT: "Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons of Earth" C HIEF S EATTLE A few weeks ago an issue arose in this newspaper which, because the holiday season is almost upon us, is worth considering in some depth. The big question I 'd like us to think about is this; who does the woik for family reunions and a re these occasions r eflecting changes in women's values? The 20th century paradigm seems to be that the women cook (Sometimes for days in advance) while the men get together in the living room and watch football. The washing-up afterwards is done either entirely by women, or by a mixture of women and children of both sexes (until the male children reach puberty). In my own family things are run a little differently, everyone helps at every stage, and everyone gets to watch football.

Grandpa has his outside work, his man's work. They are happy this way. They believe it is the ' natural'order of things. Grandma likes being boss in the kitchen.

Laura Slavec of the education department at Sea World tells how, off the coast of North Carolina, a dead sea turtle Was found to have digested 15 plastic bags, a whale 50 bags. A juvenile Hawkbill Sea-Turtle, discovered on a Hawaiian beach, was found to have 1.7 pounds of plastic swelling its stomach. The turtle had swallowed: • 8 inch square plastic bag • a golf tee • pieces of monofilament fishing line • a bottle cap • chips of poly-styrene • a plastic flower • shreds of plastic bags and sheeting • a comb • and dozens of small round plastic pieces. Imagine,a 12pound turtle with 1.7 pounds of plastics in its stomach. That is equivalent to a 120 pound human with 20 pounds of plastic in its stomach. Fishing nets, plastic strapping, balloons, Styiofoam, tiny plastic pellets, six packringsall cause the deaths of over 100,000 sea mammals every year. Many deaths are provoked by things as innocent as an accidentally let go balloon or more intentional release of thousands of balloons at a special e vent Another accident that brings about the possible deaths of fish is the Styrofoam cups carelessly tossed into the oceans. Styrofoam last forever - even on the floor of the ocean. As the current breaks apart the stryofoam, it disintegrates into tiny white balls. Lying on the ocean floor these balls take on the appearance of fish eggs - a tasty tidbit for may kinds of aquatic creatures. The stomachs of fish and sea mammals become filled with the "plastic jelly fish" or "Styrofoam fish eggs." Soon signals are being relayed to stop the search for food. The result* death by starvation. Sea World has stopped the sale of balloon in all its parks and we as concerned world citizens can stop the use of balloons at parties and even protest their use at major events. We can also stop using Styrofoam anywhere and everywhere. More information about easy things we can do to protect this world can be found in a series on inexpensive books by Earth Work.

K ATHY SULLIVAN/PIONEER �What to do with elephants In the past three years, the Asian elephant breeding program at the Wild Animal Park has faced a string of controversies. As the majestic animal stampedes toward extinction, Park officials and animal advocates are left wrestling with the dilemma of how to save this vanishing breed. L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER O N C E UPON A TIME there were herds of gigantic animals that roamed the continents of Africa and Asia. These majestic creatures stood as tall as 13 feet at the shoulder and weighed as much as eight tons. Theirs was a matriarchal social community, led by the females of the species. They roamed the land in search of food (leaves and shrubs) and gained respect from all living creatures including lions and t igers.... Such is the fairy tale of elephants many may tell their children in the not-too-distant future. At the turn of the century, Asian elephants numbered as many as 200,000 individuals.

To many, elephants became walking treasuries rather than living beings. There may b e no happy ending to the tale of the elephants. As third world populations grow in Africa and Asia, it becomes increasingly less likely that the elephant population will keep a home in its natural environment Zoos and animal sanctuaries may be the last glimmer of hope for a once thriving species. In 1985, the San Diego Wild Animal Park in Escondido, opened its Asian elephant breeding program. Having met with birthing success in its African elephant program, the Park intended to become one of the few zoological institutions to successfully breed Asian elephants. But tragedy after tragedy ensued. By early 1991, the Park was faced with three stillborn elephants. In March of this year, animal trainer Pamela Orsi, 27, was killed when she was caught between two fighting elephants. In the same month the program's only successful birth was put to sleep because of infection. Last month another elephant was stillborn. Time and time again, the fledgling program found a shroud of controversy and tragedy at every turn of fate. C ONTROVERSY OVER the San Diego Wild Animal Park's elephant program began three years ago when a keeper at the San Diego Zoo alleged that Dunda, a recently acquired cow to the Park, was the subject of abusive treatment by Park keepers. C ONTINUED/NEXT PAGE �TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1991/PIONEER CONTINUED/FROM PAGE 8 IJ (¡¡¡¡¡I iI I §g ^ M. i; || M fi o WÈÊË 1 11 I ¿y H *i MM J » ^ffilff ^ J »CATHY SULLIVAN/PIONEER According to Tom Hanscom, director of Public Relations at the Park, keepers regularly use some degree of force to establish dominance over members of an elephant herd. He says that the type of force used by keepers at the Park to establish hierarchical control is similar to the same type of force elephants use in the wild to gain control of a herd. In a natural setting, each elephant maintains a social position in the herd based on the establishment of dominance. If a less dominant elephant wishes to rise up the social ladder, it must challenge a more dominant elephant in the herd. This challenge is usually manifested in a head-butting contest between the two animals.-If the dominant elephant retreats from the headbutting contest, it succeeds its position to the challenger. Hanscom says that keepers utilize this type of challenge to become the "head elephant" of the herd. By doing so, the animals become more responsive to keeper commands thereby becoming manageable. As an exhibitory animal at the San Diego Zoo, Dunda's former home, Dunda was not accustomed to this type of treatment Hanscom says the keepers at the zoo preferred to keep their distance from the animal rather than establish a trainer-elephant relationship. As a result, Dunda, in her new environment, did not recognize Park keepers as members of the herd. She was uncooperative and difficult to handle. In order to establish dominance, keepers used sticks to emulate the head-butting ritual of the herd. Animal rights groups, like the San Diego Animal Advocates (SDAA), view this kind of hands-on treatment as abusive. Sally Mackler president of SDAA says that, as a major source of revenue in San Diego, the public was blind to the practices of the Wild Animal Park. "Dunda brought the whole issue out of the closet," Mackler says. "It showed that the practices of the Park are different from public perceptions." Hanscom says that animal rights groups such as the SDAA used the Dunda incident to gain media attention. He says that by attacking a high-profile organization, like the Wild Animal Park, animal rights groups gained a level of public EXPLORE attention that they could not get otherwise. By citing abuse, these groups manipulated the public's perception in a way that was difficult for the Wild Animal Park to defend. "Abuse is a crime where the accused has to prove its innocence," says Hanscom. "The San Diego Zoological Society maintains that there was no abuse." Mackler indicates that, because elephants are extremely intelligent creatures, they are more susceptible to tactics of intimidation used by Park keepers. She says the most humane way of dealing with elephants is to utilize modern technology in restraining and controlling the animals without the need of physical touch. One such method, used in the Portland Zoo, utilizes a room with moveable walls to restrain their elephants. When an elephant needs medical attention, it is lured into the room. The walls of the room hydraulically squeeze the elephant so keepers can work on i t Such equipment is expensive, however, and some animal rights group question whether such practices are humane. E V E R SINGE THE DUNDA Incident, the public's attention has focused on the tragedies which have afflicted the Park's Asian elephant breeding program. Since the completion of its $380,000 breeding facility in 1985, the Park has suffered the loss of four baby elephants and an adult cow. Hanscom says that breeding failures are natural events that occur when wild animals are bred in captivity. He indicates that because elephants are such "high profile" animals, the public becomes more attuned to their breeding failures than the failures of other animals. "In the wild, it is estimated that at least 50 percent of first-born elephants die," he says. "We are following the same breeding protocol as other successful programs. Unfortunately things happened to our animals before the program was successful." Last March, Omar, the first baby Asian elephant born at the Park, died of infection. After 10 months of effort by Park veterinarians to nurse the calf to health, Omar was put to sleep by a lethal injection of phenobarbital. The Park also suffered from several stillborn CONTINUED/PAGE 10 ATTORNEY SPECIALIZING IN CRIMINAL DEFENSE Felonies a nd Misdemeanors • State a nd Federal Court Drunk Driving a nd Traffic Law Offices of James N.

Due to the tragic turn of events with the Asian elephant breeding program, the Wild Animal Park remains unsure of whether it will cdkitinue its program. Compounding the decision is a recent moratorium placed on elephant breeding by national zoological societies. The problem facing most elephant breeding programs is the question of what to do with the offspring. Due to the aggressive, unpredictable nature of male elephants, zoos are generally only able to keep one bull on the premises. Having more than one bull could result in dangerous battles between elephants during breeding periods. If fifty Another option discussed by the percent of the offspring are males, coalition was to translocate the then zoos will have a difficult time elephants back to their indigenous placing them. countries.

Mackler says her organization does not support elephant breeding programs because of the low success rate they achieve. She attributes part of the problem to the limited space available to elephants in zoos. "In the wild there are complex and intricate relationships between the male and female elephants. There is no space for proper social interactions in zoos," she says. According to Mackler, female elephants are tied to "rape racks" at the Wild Animal Park. She says that these devices deny the elephants the opportunity for proper social interaction. But Hanscom points out that such instruments are necessary to ensure the safety of both the animals and the keepers. The mechanism introduces bulls to cows and also has the ability to separate them should a dangerous situation arise. Keepers need not put there lives in jeopardy to restrain an uncontrollable mating elephant Another problem facing the Park's breeding program is the rejection of the elephant calves by the mother cow. None of the elephants at the Park have seen a baby elephant before. An adult elephant might turn on its offspring because it does not recognize what it is. In 1982, the Park lost an African elephant calf after it was attacked by an adult in the herd. The adult simply did not recognize that the calf was of the same species. After Omar the Asian elephant was born, his mother, Connie, continually bit, kicked and attempted to step on him until Park officials were forced to separate them.

As curators of an endangered species, the Park is bound by conservation ethics to keep the Asian elephant gene pool alive and propagating. "A zoo can play a supporting role of maintaining a genetic pool," says Hanscom. "We should not be viewed as curators of a living museum, but as a strong conservation education tool." Hanscom is quick to point out that the lack of success in the Asian elephant breeding program seems to overshadow successes with other animals. In the course of 11 years, the Park produced 70 rare white rhinoceros offspring. 900 births or hatches each year place the sanctuary far above other zoological institutions in terms of breeding success. Hanscom says that because Asian elephants are so high profile, public scrutiny of their breeding program is constant, but he also stresses the Park's commitment to the preservation of elephants. "The danger is if we. alter our margins because we are driven by public opinion," he says.

But, when the book's shell has the autograph of Walt Disney the precedent is set for a fantastic story. 'The Beauty and the Beast,' opening nationwide Nov. 22, is a wonderfully animated, musically beautiful and amazing story. The story unfolds of a handsome man who is bound as a beast, played by Robby Benson. The only way to return himself to his original winsome self is to gain the love of a beautiful woman. Animator Glen Keane created a creature that is both hideous and ferocious, yet transforms into something beautiful as it is tamed by the charms of a woman. Keane combines a smorgasbord of creatures in his beast and adds a pinch of Disney magic to help his monster come alive. The beauty is Belle, played by Paige O'Hara. With her, the Disney animators drew an aesthetically alluring young woman with a voice that outshines the Him projector lights. Belle is not a run-of-the-mill storybook beauty. She would rather spend her time reading a book than entertaining the love of the obnoxious town hunk, Gaston. With Belle, Disney successfully brings a modernday woman who seeks intellectual fulfillment into a traditional format. Beauty and the beast meet each other through Belle's strange inventor father Maurice. Seeking shelter from a storm, Maurice finds himself trapped in the beast's castle. As a symbol of her daughterly love, Belle bargains with the beast to take her captive in exchange for her father's freedom. The monster agrees and the stage is set: the beast and the girl are left alone. Well almost. Disney adds a few extra characters to its saga. There's a candlestick, a clock, a tea pot and her tea cup. All of these objects, with the entire household furniture, are comically animated. Angela Lansbury ('Murder She Wrote') and David Ogden Stiers ('M*A*S*H') lend their voices to these animated objects. With the cast now introduced, the Disney crew of animators and writers work their magic and the beauty and the beast fall in love. A missing page in this production, however, is how the beast became the way he did. He must find love before a special rose wilts. Where the flower came from and who cast the spell is not answered in the show. Regardless, 'Beauty in the Beast' can be placed on the bookshelf along with the other classic animated feature films from Walt Disney. Its beauty will last longer than some of its predecessors'. Creating the characters for "Beauty and the Beast" was a thoughtful, timeconsuming process involving the collaborative efforts of may different people. In the final analysis, however, it is the supervising animator and his team that must bring those characters convincingly to life and provide the credibility, personality and entertainment that appears on the screen. Glen Keane was the supervising animator who designed and drew the beast and oversaw the animators who worked on him. For this 16-year Disney veteran, whose previous works range from animating the climatic bear fight in 'The Fox and the Hound' to Ariel in 'The Little Mermaid,' this latest assignment was easily the toughest "There's never been a character like him before," explains Keane, "so there was nothing to fall back on. I began creating the beast by figuring out who the character really is inside. H e's a guy trapped between two worlds. He's part animal and part human and h e's not comfortable with either. His design had to show the human side - heart, warmth and the ability to love. The ferocious, hideous animal side had to reflect his incredible power and agility. I filled my mind with all of these things and began processingitintoafinaldesign." In the end, Keane created his own hybrid beast taking the mane of a lion, the beard and head structure of a buffalo, the tusks and nose bridge of a wild boar, the heavily muscled brow of a gorilla, the legs and tail of a wolf and the big bulky body of a bear. To all of the above, he added the most important ingredient - sincerity. "The eyes are the window to the soul," says Keane. "When Bellelooks into beast's eyes she must see his human heart and soul. She must see sincerity and believe that she can acSEE BEAST/PAGE 15 �TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1991/PIONEER M usic C alendar Blur: Performs Nov. 13 at the Backdoor, SDSU. 278-TIXS Brooks & Dunn: Performs Nov. 23 at Sound FX, San Diego 560-8022/278-TIXS Common Sense: Performs Nov. 12 at the Belly Up, Solana Beach. 481 -9022/278-TIXS Dave Wakeling: Performs with International Beat Nov. 13 at the Belly Up, Solana Beach. 481-9022/278-TIXS Gang of Four: Performs Nov. 21 at Sound FX, San Diego. 5608022/278-TIXS Gyuto Tantric Choir: Listen to ancient Tibetan Ritual Chants Nov. 17 at 3 p.m. at the Camino Theatre, USD.

Most of the art defines expressions of feeling that relate to an artist, but these artists are the "dregs of the Earth," those who usually are not accepted in normal society. Most of the artwork expresses universal themes and feelings, but when we see who the artists are, we can also place their art in a specific category, that from prisoners. When you walk into the Boehm Gallery at Palomar College, you will have a choice of entering one of three rooms. The rooms directly to the left and right include the artwork by the prisoners. The room straight ahead contains a television set with a 53-minute video consisting of 17 short video pieces by prison inmates experimenting with another form of art, video production. The most poignant pieces of art are in the two rooms opposite each other. In the room to the right, some of the p rison w omen c reated " altered books," in which they change the looks of real books to suit their perception of "regular" books. Also there are painting, sculptures and drawings. One drawing, in particular, is worthy of inspection. Done in graphite by Mike Aguilar, an inmate, this drawing depicts Latin and Indian men and women, some just faces, some full figures. Interwoven with the human figures, clocks hands, guns and bars with a keyhole play with the imagination of the viewer. This drawing portrays power and defeat, hope and sadness, and the long wait for freedom all at the same time. In the other room, many portraits adorn the walls, but one picture captures the soul and mind. Called " I Stand Alone" by inmate Rickie Soria, this picture displays a large tree dominating the landscape. Without the leaves, orstrong branches, this tree lies bent and twisted, worn and defeated. Possibly the blue sky behind the tree depicts hope, but the tree itself proves that hope*is long gone. Only the determination to survive exists. Interestingly, these art pieces are very good. Most of the artists have captured their inner feelings and expressed them effectively on the canvas. None of the art pieces seems to comefromthe part of society in which they originate. Seeing these pictures and sculptures spawns a new awareness in the viewer for the prisoners. Even if they a re in prison, they can express themselves well through a rt However, after you begin the accept these people and their works, you notice an encased glass display s howing a nother c reative f orm: weapons.

"In the scene where Belle refuses to come down for dinner and the beast loses his temper, the script called for him to run up the stairs in a rage. But an enraged animal would stamper on all fours and leapfromthe stairs to the landing, almost sailing through the air, which is the way we ended up doing i t" „ The animator c redits Robby Benson with providing the right inspiration for beast through his vocal interpretation.
