The participants learned how to teach entrepreneurs and how to develop the real skills for managing effectively. They visited with COBAfaculty where they will learned about unique, hands-on, educational programs and reviewed computer technology applications at CSUSM. The participants arefromthe Morozov Project and their visit here was coordinated through the Foundation for Enterprise Development of La Jolla. The goal of the three-year-old initiative is to train a critical mass of entrepreneurs and business leaders in Russia who will promote democratic change by creating jobs and business in a free market. A network of 35 Business Training Centers (BTCs) has been established in various Russian regions. The group visiting CSUSM consists of 30 trainers from these BTCs. They will use the information gained during the visit to teach clients at their respective BTCs when they go back to Russia. The Morozov Project is a Russian national project, actively supported by the US Agency for International Development, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and a group of researchers and specialists from the West. This particular program is part of the Academy of Management and the Market of the Morozov Project. The Foundation for Enterprise Development provides practical information and assistance to help companies implement equity-based compensation and strategies for involving employees in improving business operations. First Thedinga scholarships awarded tofive freshmen The first five Ella J. Thedinga scholarships were awarded to five recipients recently. • The scholarships are the result of an endowment given to the university last year by Thedinga, a retired educator. The five recipients are all incoming freshmen from local schools, and each received $2,000. Recipients are Catalina Angelesfrom Oceanside High School, Ryan DravesfromRancho Buena Vista High School, Rebekah Jones from Fallbrook High School, Amanda Kruso from Ramona High School and Jarrette Torcedo from Carlsbad High School. When the endowment is fully funded, the expected number of scholarships per year is expected to reach 20, in perpetuity. Thedinga, a Rancho Bernardo resident, established the endowment last December.

Million-dollar donor dies Honorary dinner is rescheduled for this Friday By Paul Hilker Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos President Dr. Bill Stacy announced July 24th that the university received a $1 million endowment from Donald and Marie Van Ness of Rancho Bernardo. Just one month later, on Aug. 25, Marie Gloria Orpall Van Ness passed away after a long battle with Parkinson's disease. A CSUSM Founders' dinner was postponed from the initial date of Aug 31 due to her death. The dinner was rescheduled and will be held in the Van Ness' honor Sept 22. The gift is the largest donation received by the school from any private donor, and will fund programs in entrepreneurial studies and t he College of Business. The Van Nesses, founders of CSUSM, have been long-time advocates and patrons of various b usiness e stablishments and higher education throughout San Diego, according to university officials. They have worked together to createthe International Donald VanNess and his wife Marie, who died recently after battling Parkinson's. Institute for Entrepreneurs, a support program for men and women going into private business. The Van Nesses are a model of integrity to the community, according to Jane Lynch, director of university development. "I think that the Van Ness' support and generosity serves as an example to other individuals and organizations in North County that higher education at CSUSM is worth their time and support.," she said. T hey've spent a great deal of their lives supporting philanthropic causes t hroughout Southern California." H ie issue of private donation is one of great concern to Cal State San Marcos. Lynch asserted the fact that "Every donation, regardless of its size, is greatly needed and appreciated since state funds insufficiently cover all of the needs of the university." Other donations to CSUSM have been made by Bill Daniels ($250,000), Ella J. T hedinga ($500,000), Ken Markstein (a tenyear $100,000 donation), and many others. The Van Nesses began were married in 1937, and with very little money built their wealth by heading a succession of businesses. A few of their past ventures include an international insurance network, an 80-acre farm in Illinois and their last business, which they sold in 1989 — a dry cleaning plant in Illinois. They moved to North County from Chicago in 1977. Don Van Ness continues to live in t he couple's Rancho Bernardo home. Greeks hold first campus rush By GregHoadley Staff Writer The signs were seen in the student parking lot, approaching the stairs leading up to campus — the large Greek insignias in colored chalk, includingthelarge "RUSH," signifying Cal State San Marcos'sfirstRush Week, which ended last Friday. Rush Week is the process by which campus fraternities and sororities select their new members. Throughout last week, potential members entered their bids for the sorority or fraternity they wanted to join. While the men's initiation was less structured, with bids coming at the end of t he week, t he women started earlier in the week. Potential membersfilledout preference cards indicating which sorority they preferred. There are two fraternities on campus, Tal Kappa Epsilon and Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and two sororities for women, Alpha Chi Omega and AlphaXi Delta. Events included a "velcro w air event at the San M arcos city gymnasium last Wednesday. "Rush Week prepares the new members for a lifetime commit- Trlsh Nagy/staff Photographer Tal Kappa Epsilon brothers challenge their coordination on a velcro wall. m ent," e xplained S tephanie Moore, Alpha Xi Delta president. "It is really special." Benefits and responsibilities of t he Greek lifestyle include lifelong friendships and community work, such as t he planned installation of an on-campus volleyball court, and workshops on current issues, as well as a support group for fellow members. "They always check up on each other to see if they're studying when they should be, things like that," said Cherine Heckman, who is Cal State San Marcos's Greek adviser. Greek life is by no means just work and study. Tal Kappa Epsilon recently held a beach bonfire, for example, and all of the organizations plan their own recreational activities which promote pride in their fraternity or sorority. �The annaul Cal State San Marcos pow wow takes place Oct. 7 and 8, and will feature food, festivities and dancing. Pow wow returns in early October By Carrie Tyler Staff Writer The enchanting sounds of dancing, singing and celebrating will ehco through the hills and valley as Cal State San Marcos holds its third annual PowWow Oct. 7 and 8. TheeventreplacestheannualQuestival, which has been rescheduled for next spring. The occasion will bring together American Indian tribal members from various states along with those native to San Marcos, the Luisenos, to share and celebrate their diverse cultural expressions with the University and the community. The PowWow begins at 11 a.m. Oct. 7, with Grand Entry at 1 and 7 p.m, ending at midnight and then resuming again the following day with closing ceremonies at 6 p.m. Featured dances will include various intertribal dances, t he gourd dance, woman's shawl dance and the grass dance. Also included will be a dance honoring the deceased, a marraige, or other special oc- casion, and a dance honoring the event's planning committee. Along with dancing there will be Kumeyaay and Intertribal Bird singers performing. Various tribes will also perform drum music throughout the celebration, and American Indian arts and crafts will be on display along with many tribal delicacies. Altogether there will be approximately 50 booths offering crafts, food and service organizations. The expected turnout is approximately 8,000, according to event coordinator Bonnie Biggs. While this event marks CSUSM's third pow wow, it also marks the university's eighth year of presenting American Indian events. "It is important for CSUSM that the Indian community knows that we are here for them,* explained Biggs, "that we are a place for their children to consider for their education. We are here to serve their community's needs."

Call Joyce at 750-4998 �History in the making David Taylor/Staff Photographer A breath of fresh air DITORIAL Students have, once again, made history at Cal State San Marcos. This fall, the university welcomed m 1 its f irst f reshman and sophomore classes. This accomplishment equals the importance of two other major events for the campus — the opening of the university itself in 1990 and the opening of the main campus two years later. While the importance of those milestones is undisputed, the acceptance of freshmen and sophomores holds an importance that eclipses the university's opening. A university does not exist without people. l ike the first students to attend CSUSM in 1990, and those that followed at the new campus in 1992, the freshman and sophomore classes add their own style of enthusiasm and life to the university. Their enthusiasm is unrelenting. The makeup of The Prided staff is a prime example. This newspaper has struggled to survive since 1993. Staffs have been small, if nonexistent. Not this semester. The newspaper begins its third year of publication with an unprecedented 16 staff members, the great majority of those beingfreshmen.Needless to say, they are a welcome asset. With their enthusiasm and willingness to do their best, The Pride looks forward to producing the best student publication ever for the CSUSM community. As for the rest of campus, the freshman and sophomore classes will make their mark in this institution's history by virtue of simply being here. To the classes of 1998 and 1999, welcome. We are glad you are here. <! EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Roman S. Koenig BUSINESS MANAGER Joyce Kolhe NEWS EDITOR Tony Barton ON-LINE EDITOR TyCarss FEATURE EDITOR John Loch ENTERTAINMENT EDITORS Jill Ballard, Julia McKinlay LAYOUT EDITOR ToddFederman It's not easy switching history hats. Thatmay seemlike ameaningless term, but i fs the best way to describe what 1995 has been like for me. I've always had a thing for history, especially when it comes to the schools I have attended over the years. This year, for example, marks the 50th anniversary of Palomar College, just across the freewayfromus. As past editor of that institution's student newspaper, The Telescope, and as an employee of the journalism department for almost two years (my work ended last spring), I was given the honor of being a contributing author for the school's 50th anniversary anthology. My section of the book, of course, dealt with the history of The Telescope. It took nearly the entire 1994-95 school year to compile the mountainous load of information about the paper. Along the way, I was able to come as close to living those days of the past as anyone my age can g et While it was a daunting task, it was an enjoyable one. I learned a lot about how my predecessors dealt with issues of censorship and news coverage. Most importantly, I had the opportunity to investigate in-depth how the newspaper covered the major events that shaped Palomar College into the institution it is today. Now comes the beginning of the 199596 academic year of the still-young Cal State San Marcos. I return for my final semester here as editor of The Pride, and this time my position is reversed. Instead of being the one writing about the past, I'm the one observing and recording history in the making. I've traded in one history hat for another. After nearly a year of dealing strictly with events that have already happened, I have to adjust to observing those same kinds of events happening in the now. In my academic career here, Ihave witnessed the opening of the permanent campus, the turmoil over Proposition 167 and, this year, the arrival of CSUSM's firstfreshmanand vfmanS. H JIF OENIG sophomore classes. Instead of researching history already recorded, my staff and I are recorders ourselves. What we write — the stories we cover—will no doubt be material for this university's 50th anniversary anthology. It's a position I am proud to be in. Working on Palomar's anthology has given me a new perspective aboutCSUSM. Here, students, faculty and staff are working to secure a solid future for this university. My work on the campus newspaper over the last three years has been part of that, but now I look on my work in a new way. I was never really aware before that 50 yearsfromnow my name—like many, many others on this campus — might be looked up in a heap of old documents to be resurrected as a symbol of a past long gone. Now that scares me. When I looked up the names of The Telescope's past editors, I couldn't help but wonderwhat some of them were doing today. Fortunately, many are still active members of the local journalism scene. Others faded into obscurity. No matter. The important thing is that they helped build a solid educational foundation based on excellence, and that's exactly what's happening here at this university. Perhaps thaf s the most important thing of all to remember — now and forever. Happy birthday, Palomar. Here's to your future, Cal State San Marcos. 88-Afl letter^ mti^t j^e ^gitifed by t fe author and include liis or her name, • irig addtess^! i n^^lnd ^ o n e *mmt>er* Sead letters to: ITie l ^ ^ C d qvwSaii ! te For information about^bittiission guidelines, wimmmmmmmmm- STAFF Andrew Bailey, Paul HUker, GregHoadley, Randy Torres, Carrie Tyler; Trish Nagy, David Taylor; John Wheeler Serving Cal State San Marcos since 1993 ADVISERY PANEL Tom Nolan, Erik The Pride is published every two weeks for the California State University, San Marcos community.

THE PRIDE �Campus leaders welcome students President Stacy urges students •Get involved/says new student to think and act 'anew' thisyear president Charles Ragland Niank you for asking me to take part in this first issue of T he Pride, and thanks to Roman Koenig for taking on the work of its editor this academic year. T he beginning of the school year is the most exciting time for me, like New Year's is for everybody else. I love seeing the campus filled with students after a quiet summer spent planning for your arrival. This year, we began the semester with a State of the University Address which listed for all of us some of our accomplishments of the past year, some of our "undones," and the hard and exciting work we face in the coming year. I cited Dr. Bill Stacy, university president Abraham Lincoln to remind us of the need to think anew and act anew. The quotation comes from Lincoln's challenge of December, 1862 to the Congress and the nation. It seems somehow appropriate to higher education's 1995 California climate: ' The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present... and we must rise with t he occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew." The case for CSUSM is still new in a climate charged with fiscal uncertainties and emotional anxieties. Still, we retain fpr a little while the uncommon opportunity in academe, as Lincoln put it, to think anew and act anew. "We must rise to the occasion." As we begin 1995-96,1 have asked for help in leading this campus forward. I want to think anew about a culture of civility, a renewed commitment toward a "studentfriendly" campus climate, better utilization of consultation and collaboration, closer touch with the campus by helping teach a class (thanks to Dr. Michael Huspek for offering the opportunity to spend a bit of time in a classroom again) and a better approach to respect differences while building on the concepts of "one individual among many." I hope you will accept some of this challenge as your own as you make your way across this emerging campus and find the opportunities to participate in the learning and teaching dialogues that take place here. Again, thank you for the opportunity to say hello and welcome. Bill W.Stacy President, California State University San Marcos . n behalf of the Associated Students, welcome to new students — and to continuing students, welcome back.

Charles Ragland President, Associated Students o Robbing Congress to pay Barney just doesn't cut the mustard anymore By Greg Hoadley Staff Writer In the current budget battles being fought in Washington DC, the Republican leadership h as decided that funding for such programs as t he Corporation for Public Broadcasting, National Endowment for the Humanities and National Endowmentfor t he Arts shall be spared with only minor in spending, after they had promised to cut such programs outright. Under the newly-proposed budget for 1996, spending on these programs will total $438 million. The Republicans blew i t The federal government h as become too big ($1.6 trillion, in fact) and really h as no business funding arts. It is a waste of money better spent elsewhere (or not spent at all), and many of t he funded arts could do quite well in a capitalist environment. Granted, $438 million is a small number when compared to the rest of the federal budget, which includes some $400 billion-plus in Social Security and $250 billionplus in defense. However, t he US government h as not balanced its budget since 1969, and $438 million is $438 million, no matter how you look at i t Arts funding should be seen for what it i s—a luxury item. Continued spending on luxury items in the face of debt is irresponsible. Period. As a college student, look at your own situation. If you are in debt, you keep what you need (food, clothing, etc.) and you toss what you only think you need (the latest Pearl Jam CD). A few months ago, I got a good laugh as I watched Congresswoman Nita Lowey (D-New York) accuse Republicans of trying to "kill Big Bird" and other arts funding as she held up a Big Bird doll for emphasis. There are two false assumptions here. One, shows like "Sesame Street" and "Barney" cannot survive without our tax dollars, and two, all the "art" generated by the NEA, NEH and CPB is worth its weight in gold. However, if Americans knew that their tax dollars were used to fund such "art" as a crucifix in a jar of urine, the infamous Robert Maplethorpe photos (too lewd to describe here), or even the distribution of $10 bills to illegal aliens (each of these projects received federal grants), they would then see that government-funded art is not just "Barney" and "Masterpiece Theatre." As you can see, much of it also goes against our societal standards of decency. Granted, t hese are the exception and not the rule. Some of this art is of high quality. This leads to my next point Some of the better material (especiallyfromPBS) would thrive in a capitalist society. For example, "Sesame Street" and "Barney" do not need any more funds to continue production. They have reaped enough profit to pay for themselves many times over. Also, channels offering programs similar to PBS, such as Nickelodeon (for children), the Discovery Channel and the Learning Channel, have done quite well on their own. The arts are important to our society. No one this side of Jesse Helms feels otherwise, but funding for it belongs in the private sector. If such art is deemed wholesome and fulfilling, it will have its financial support Just ask House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who has promised to give $10,000 of his money to public broadcasting over the next five years. �Tcrnk Three literature professors bring the west alive for the east By John Loch Feature Editor Most of us would not have a clue if someone asked us if we had caught our weekly installment of "Lost in California." We would probably respond with some confused look and try to remember the actorsfroma television show that does not exist. But to millions of subscribers to Asahi W eekly, a n ewspaper supplement in Japan, this title, along with several more, entertain readers each week and keep them coming backformore. Contributions to the supplement by Cal State San Marcos literature professors Dan McLeod, Laurel Amtower and Ken Mendoza have made them much-loved house- hold names throughout Japan. Asahi Weekly is a newspaper supplement similar to those found in Sunday newspapers here in the United States, the difference being that the Japanese must subscribe to the supplement. The publication is estimated to have the second-largest distribution in the world. Most people in Japan are fluent plan that was being developed by t he newspaper. McLeod jumped at the idea and began work on his first installment in a series of weekly serials to appear in the paper. After the unbelievable success of McLeod's first serial, it was decided that another writer was needed to help relieve his deadlines and tension. The newspa- per said they wanted a female voice, and Laurel Amtower was recruited. Her stories hit close to home with female readers and received a generous response. Shortly thereafter, Ken Mendoza was added and dazzled readers with stories of life in America's old west. Most of the readers of Asahi Weekly are seemingly fond of American culture. The stories submitted each week by the three professors keep readers coming back for more, and judging by readers' responses the authors could be around for awhile. So if you are ever in Japan, pick up a copy of Asahi Weekly. Who knows? You just might like what you read.

Most of the emphasis in the media is directed toward the benefits to physical health such as heart disease, high blood pressure and weight control. Frequently, students are surprised to learn the amazing benefit to one's mental health with exercise. Inthebackofourminds we all realize that we generally feel better if we are regularly exercising. In fact, exercise is a treatment or at least part of the treatment for stress reduction, anxiety disorders, and depression. Since depression is very common and h as a significant impact on the individual and society, I will discuss the role of exercise in the treatment of depression. Many are not aware that approximately 5 percent of men and 10 percent of women will have a major depression in their lifetime. Also, these percentages seem to be rising. Of people who have major depression unfortunately about 15 percent will commit suicide. The cost to society with medical and occupational factors included is about $40 4 5 billion. Thankfully, treatment is usually very successful and improving each year. Research indicates that exercise is a veryfavorabletreatment for mild to moderate depression. It is even better combined with the usual treatments: psychotherapy and medication. Interestingly, the studies that demonstrate this best was performed on college professors and college students. The good news is that even after the studies were finished (usually after 6-12 weeks), the benefits continued if the subjects continued to exercise. Why exercise is effective is unknown. There are proposed psychological and biological explanations. Today, we are gaining an improved understanding of the relationship of the brain's JNOLDS neurotransmitters and depression. Most researches believe that exercise has a direct effect on the neurotransmitters by improvingthe transmission of these s ubstances a nd a lleviating d epression's symptoms. Research continues in order to unravel this picture. You may have heard all this before, but once again, something as simple as regular exercise has incredible benefitto one's health. We are not sure of the mechanism but it is safe to say that exercise is an important component in the treatment of depression. It also may be one of few preventive therapies for those who are not clinically depressed. Dr. Joel Grinolds is director of Student Health Services.

The program recently received a $1.1 million federal grant from the Department of Education. The grant, which makes up 95 percent of Upward Bound's budget, funds the program for another five years (1995-2000). An orientation for current participants and students interested in the program was held Sept 30. The grant proposal was among the top two percent in the country, receiving 114.7 points out of a possible 115. Because of the high score, it serves as a model program. T he grant reflects the quality of CSUSM's Upward Bound program and the university's ability to compete nationally for federal funds. It also demonstrates CSUSM's commitment to sharing education with all people of the North County community,'' said Dr. Bill Stacy, university president Upward Bound is part of the TRIO programs which were designed by Congress in the 1960s to provide access to a college education for low-income, firstgeneration college-bound and college-going students. "CSUSM's Upward Bound is an excellent example of the results these programs produce. The proof is in the graduation rates of our students," said Calvin One Deer Gavin, director of the university'sTRIO programs. "Upward Bound serves 8 local high schools. There have been 15 local area graduates, all have now gone on to college." The program began three years ago. Joy Moore, a graduate of Rancho Buena Vista High School and Upward Bound, now attends CSUSM. "Upward Bound provided me with the opportunity to make a solid connection with campus life and personal skills to achieve excellence as a better communicator with all people," she explained. Through its training, tutoring and counseling, Upward Bound helps students who otherwise would probably not consider pursuing a college education, prepare for university study. Upward Bound offers tutoring, collegefieldtrips, cultural activities, multicultural understanding, personal and family counseling, supplemental instruction, peer mentoring, college classes, lead- Dan Nadir/Pride File Photo Calvin One Deer Gavin, director of Cal State San Marcos TRIO programs, speaks to a crowd in the Dome last fall. ership conferences and more. Through the many academic and personal experiences,fromninth grade to 12th grade, Upward Bound helps studentsfinddirection, focus on academics in high school, and ultimately graduate from college.

Either of these proposals passing would be grim tidings for CSUSM where a large amount of students recieve pel grants and direct loans. Furthermore, direct loans replaced lender loans exclusively for the first time this year. It would cause afair amount of administrative hasssle to switch back. "We'd go back only if we were forced to," said Hatten. The Associated Students has been busy getting petitions signed for congressmen Randy Cunningham (R-San Diego) and Ron Packard (R-Oceanside) urging them to "support continued funding for college loan and stu- dent aid programs (i.e. Federal student aid) ." Roughly 75 people called their congressmen on Sept. 12-13, according to AS President Charles Ragland. "We'd like to see more grant money not loans," said Ragland. Federal financial aid threatened by Congressional ax By Tony Barton News Editor Students may be seing a change in the way their federal financial aid is handled if measures being prepared by Congress are instituted. Items such as student loans and grants would be among those affected in a $2.6 billion appropriations cut proposed by members of Congress.

The House of Representatives has also proposed a dismantling of the direct loan program, the program which serves Cal State San Marcos students. Loans would be directed back through the Federal Family Educational Loan Program (FFELP), a lender loan program which utilizes over 200 lenders and over 20 guarantee agencies. According to Hatten, this service would require some students to keep three or four contacts for the same loan. The current direct loan program is run directly through the government, requires only one contact, and is "easier to manage ." The Senate has not proposed cutting the direct plan, but has talked about cutbacks to the program. "Mywish is that those schools who wish to be in the direct loan program canbe in it," said Financial Aid Director Paul Phillips. Congress has also proposed raising the standards on students eligible for federal grant aid. Under the plan, students recieving $600 or less under a pel grant Financial Aid offers a computerized scholarship search service, called Fund Finder.

Briggs, along with Program Specialist and CSUSM student Gina Forsythe who is helping to oversee student recruitment, are trying to get students and campus clubs to participate. Their goal is to get 300-plus volunteers in on the action. While initial recruitment has been slow, "it is starting to pick up. More students are coming by and asking about involvement," Forsythe said. Each group will be placed with a community agency in the North County area, such as the Boys and Girls Clubs of Carlsbad and Escondido, the Elizabeth Hospice in Escondido and St. Vincent de Paul Village. Groups and individuals who wish to participate should contact Briggs or Forsythe in the Learning Resource Center, Craven Hall 5318. Sign-ups will be accepted until mid-October.

He described how he believed the government and pharmaceutical firms are making money off this unproven theory and treating AIDS victims with a drug that kills them faster than the disease itself. "A lot of people who have died of AIDS have actually died of AZT," he said. "It's a poison," originally developed as a chemotherapy treatment for cancer. a AZT kills all the cells it gets into eventually." While he disagrees with the established view of how AIDS develops, Mullis said he has his own theory. "Everybody's met one or two people who died of AIDS," he continued, "but they each died differently. In fact, the 'thing' AIDS isn't a 'thing* at all. I f s a whole lot of people sick at the same time with different things." Mullis described a kind of "viral overload," where people infected with AIDS have acquired it because of an overexposure to too many otherwise harmless viruses all at the same time. Individually, these viruses are not harmful to the immune system, but collectively they cause its degradation. HIV is just one of these many viruses, he said. "What happens when you get 10,000 times the exposure to viruses totally harmless by themselves, all at the same time?" he asked. "The immune system would start to do funny tilings. And to kill people with the use of a drug that does little and kills people, i f s criminal." He added that the conventional development of an AIDS vaccine will not work based on this theory. Despite his disagreement with currently-accepted theory, Mullis said he was open to it provided he sees the scientific proof. "If somebody came out with a study that said HIV causes AIDS I would say 'good,' because I'm tired of this." Mullis moved his presentation from the realm of the inner body to outer space. He talked about an alleged cover-up on the part of NASA and the government to hide the facts about monuments on Mars. "What was our space program developed for?Tocollect rocks?" he asked the audience. He explained how, in 1978, NASA's Voyager snapped photos of what appeared to be a face and several nearby structures on the planet's surface at the region called Cydonia. While the press at that time was told that subsequent photographs six hours later showed nothing there, he explained, NASA never took such photographs because the Martian night had set in. Three-dimensional computer enhancement of the known photographs shows that there is indeed a face, he said, "Like Mt. Rushmore but better art" Fifteen years later, when NASA planned to take photos of the same region, he said, the cameras on board the space craft conveniently malfunctioned. Mullis said that the discovery of thefaceand other structures such as pyramids are exactly what we want the space program to find, explaining the ridiculousness of sending a small land-based machine to look for ATP when right beside it is a pyramid and a face. He told the audience that the Internet is a blessing because information is so accessible about issues such as this. "Those pictures, fortunately, due to the internet, are noteasy to suppress," Mullis said. After his main lecture, Mullis answered questionsfromthe audience. Continuing on the theme of government eover-ups of alien life, one audience member asked Mullis if he believed there was a cover:up with regard to the topsecret "Area 51" military base in Nevada, which some claim houses alien bodies and space craft. "They say they're alien bodies stored out there. I think Jimmy Hoffa's out there," he responded. Another audience member asked Mullis to talk about his experimentation with LSD. Mullis told the audience that, while it improved his thought processes and opened his mind to new ways of thinking, the drug is not for everyone. "For some i fs good. For some i f s bad," he said. "Butto not know about it and find out about it is stupid." Mullis noted that although LSD was legitimately tested by scientists for its good purposes, "It was a typical response by human nature to (suppress) something new and unknown," thus leading to its being made illegal. Campus dignitaries and the press were invited to a personal reception with Mullis after the lecture in university President Dr. Bill Stacy's conference room.

To say that "Southpaw Grammar" is his greatest album wouldn't be fair since Morrissey has never ever released anything less than brilliant, but "Southpaw Grammar* has a style apart from any of his past works—just as all Morrissey albums are unique. The mellow and smooth sounds of his last album, "Vauxhall And I," have been replaced with harder and more prominent guitars and percussion while the voice steps back slightly from the forefront leaving the music to take more control. The opening track, "The Teachers Are Afraid Of The Pupils," clocks in at 11:19 minutes, making it the longest Morrissey song ever released. Despite its length, however, there is not a dull second in the song. I fs a haunting tale of a teacher who lives under the strain of threats and harassment from his students and their parents, "Say the wrong words to our children and well have you/Ifs never too late to have you!" It reminds me of those court trials where school teachers were being wrongly accused of child molestation. "To be finished would be a relief" is the driving line of the song, but thankfully that is not the case for the album as we are next treated to another masterpiece, "Reader Meet Author". This song is a blast against authors who are ignorant to their readers' hardshipped working _ class lives, "And the year 2000 won't change anyone here/As each fabled promise flies so fast you'd swear it was never there/ Oh have you ever escapedfroma shipwrecked life?" The song concludes by accusing the writer of lying. The next track is the radioonly US single as well as the second UK single (releasedateSept 25) "The Boy Racer," a fanciful James Dean-esque song about a good-looking young man who speeds without getting pulled over, has too many girlfriends and thinks he's got the whole world in his hands when he stands at the urinal. Morrissey seems to be almost envious of the carefree dangerdefyinglifestyleoftheboy racer, "Have you seen him go though ohhh/Boy Racer ohhh/ We're gonna kill this pretty thing/ He's just too good looking." The next track, "The Operation," is introduced by a lengthy drum solo. The song never explains what kind of operation was performed on the patient, but the person apparently got a new demeanor Out of it, "Y6u say pleasant things when there is no need to/Everyone I know is sick to the back teeth of you." I fs not the happiest of Morrissey songs, but i f s still a lively and exciting number. The next track is "Dagenham Dave," thefirstUnited Kingdom single which itself is a must find because it boasts one of Morrissey's best b-sides to date. "Nobody Loves Us," is a moving exploration of the attitudes of Reprise Records/Photo Courtesy neglected children and how they are negatively viewed by society. The other b-side, "You Must Please Remember," is another good reason to get the import single. I fs a sad tale of being haunted by painful memories while at the same time others are opting for repression. "Dagenham Dave" is a whimsical sing- HEIDI'S F ROGEN Y OZURT I CE C REAM 8 Flavors Everyday 20 Flavors Everyday Great Specials for Students No& Sntaff Only! with i.d.

The chorus is just a repeat of "Dagenham Dave" over and over until the fascination with this ordinary boy hits it's final line, "I could say more, but you get the general idea." Then we are given the gift of one of Morrissey greatesttalents, lyrical sensitivity. I fs a caring, outreachingpleato "Just Do Your Best and Don't Worry," a song directed to the overly self-critical, "With your standards so high and your spirits so low/At least remember this is you on a bad day/You on a pale day/Just do your best and ohhh/Don't worry ohhh/The way you hang yourself is oh so unfair." The next song, "Best Friend On The Payroll," is about a live-in right hand assistant who's welcome has worn out, which leads us to the final track, "Southpaw." This song is the only one I didn't really like, but that was only because after the singing ended, the boring music just droned on. This album is a brilliant work of art despite i fs one minor downfall for me. I highly recommend it to anyone with taste for catchy songs with meaningful lyrics. �Clinton Think over how my balanced years.

Anyone who looks into one of the eight rooms on the Academic Hall's second floor can see computer labs full of students busilly working on computers — too many students, in fact. The campus's computer labs have become extremely overcrowded this semester with the influx of new students, as well as a shortage of computers and space. "I think that the labs are really good for the students because they have a chance to get information or work on reports (and) papers that they need to finish," said first-year s tudent John Cedres. "But it does get extremely crowded and it is unfair for some students who really need to get on a computer." "The situation could be helped with more funding, buildings, labs and people," according to lab monitorCharles Pratt, addingthat some students waist valuable time, another contributing factor to the problem. "Just as well, students shouldn't play around on the computers. They should get to work and just pound away until it is done." Despite overcrowding, Pratt said students should not just give uplookingfor a computer on campus. Classes also take up time and space in the computer labs as well. Pratt adivsed that students look around for labs that are open between class times when the main opan-access lab is full. "They should look for open labs. The class schedule and times are printed and posted right by the door," he said. The second floor of the Academic Hall is the main level for all computer labs. The labs consist of Macintosh computers as well as IBMs and compatible software, too. Students have access to the labs to work on reports, check email (electronic mail) or access information from the Internet. Students always have access to room ACD 202, which is the main computer lab always open for student use. Computer lab hours are 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday-Thursday 7 a.m. and 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fridays. Weekend hours are 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m on Sundays. Intramurals delayed, Students receive scholarships but basketball ready By Andrew Bailey Staff Writer Although intramural sports have been put on hold for the last few weeks due to problems obtaining insurance and lack of interest, Associated Students officials have announced they will be starting this month. The insurance needed by the AS to start intramural sports is scheduled to come through this week. The obtainment of this insurance was a major factor behind the delay in the start of intramurals, according to AS President Charles Ragland. Another problem was the lack of interest and support for other sports in the program like flag football, volleyball and soccer. "Basketball was our most popular sport," said Ragland. "More people signed up for basketball than any other sport. We were easily able to organize enough teams for a league." Basketball is scheduled to start Oct 23. The other sports will not be disbanded for the semester, however. Aseriesofone-daytournaments will be organized for these sports so as to not leave the people who want to play them with nothing to do. The facilities for volleyball and soccer and football are not completely finished y et The field needs to be check for safety and the lines need to be drawn, added Ragland. The sand volleyball court is notfinishedyet because the sand has not arrived. As for basketball, facilities are another reason why it will start on time. "We have worked out a deal with Palomar College that will let us use their gym as the site for the basketball games with no cost," said Ragland. Renewed efforts will be made to start leagues for volleyball, soccer, football and softball next semester, but it is all based on the interest and support showed by the students and faculty on campus, Ragland said. Two Cal State San Marcos students, Elizabeth Crocker-Ericson and Vonda Sigstad, recently received Indian Health Service scholarships which will provide them approximately $11,500 per year and can be renewed for up to six years, it was announced last week. Both Crocker-Ericson and Sigstad, who are members of the Cherokee nation, are juniors in CSUSM's Sociology program. CrockerEricson and Sigstad were among 300 recipients of Indian Health Service scholarships, and were selected from more than 13,000 applicants. Crocker-Ericson, 38, lives in Oceanside and is the mother of six children (and the stepmother of three). According to CrockerEricson, in high school she felt that she was not smart enough to go to college. Instead, she entered the workforce and started a family. Years later, while taking classes at MiraCosta College in Oceanside, she learned that it was dyslexia that thwarted her learning ability in high school. She said she will use the scholarship fund to finish her bachelor's degree at CSUSM. ShehopestocontinueontoCSUSM's master's program and help children of Native American ancestry as part of the Indian Child Welfare Act program. Sigstad, also 38, lives in San Marcos and is the mother of two children. She has worked Public Affairs Office/Photo courtesy Vonda Sigstad (left) and Elizabeth Crocker-Erickson with children most of her adultlife, but said wanted to do more. She re-entered college with the goal of starting group homes for children who become victims of AIDS. Sigstad's deep concern for the health and welfare of children led her to CSUSM's Sociology program, she said. She will use the scholarship to complete her sociology-degree and then to go on to San Diego State University for graduate studies in social work and public health. After graduation from college, she will work on developing the group homes for children on Indian reservations. �WHAT'S NEWS Spanish gets intense this Nov.

John Wheeler/Staff Photographer University offers off-campus living By Paul Hilker Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos may not have dormitories yet, but there are other options available to those who need a place to live near the campus. Just two miles off campus is a university-sponsored housing project composed of 12 units. The project is at an apartment complex on Ash Lane in San Marcos, called Islands. The housing project is a great opporunity to meet other students, and live near the campus for an affordable price, according to campus Housing Services. The complex contains one-, two-, and three-bedroom suites. Students can choose between single, or double occupancy bedrooms. Public transportation to the campus is available for those who need it. Because San Marcos is a new campus, it needs projects like the housing to initiate a sense of community among the students. According to Mike LeBrun, afirst- yearstudentat CSUSM,thehousing program is a good way to meetnewpeople andgetinvolved with other students from campus. There are currently two community living advisers staying in the complex who answer any questions new occupants might have about housing facilities or other housing services. Both advisers, Heather Law and Brad Ward, are students at CSUSM. Since the services are new, recreational opportunities are still in the process of being developed. Tanis Brown, head of Housing Services, said that much is being done to insure convenience of location and reasonable cost for students. Programs like monthly potlucks, birthday parties and other activities are being planned to increase the students' comfort and satisfaction within the complex. Applicants for the housing must pay a non-refundable application fee of $35, and fill out an evaluation form to determine roommate compatibility. Cost per student is $2,600 for a standard double occupancy bedroom and $3,800for a standard single, which includes utilities.. Four payment plans are available. The apartments are leased to students for the academic year. All of the apartments are fully furnished and include a stove, dishwasher and refrigerator. Furnishings include a couch, chair, coffee table, end table, table lamp and dining table with chairs. Each student also isprovided with a twin bed, chest of drawers and a desk with chair. All apartments are wired with phone jacks and cableTV. Selectapartmentscome with microwaves and/or clothes washer and dryer. Students interested in the offcampus housing program can contact Tanis Brown at 7504952, or write to Housing Services, CSU San Marcos, San Marcos, CA 92096-0001. Gastaneda to author report fo State of Hawaii Lillian Vega Castaneda, a professor in the College of Education, has been selected to write a literature review on current research and theory in thefieldof early childhood education and care for the State of Hawaii. Castaneda's proposal for the review was selectedfromamong 45 professors of education by program staff of the Hawaii Community Foundation and the Henry and Dorothy Castle Fund for Children, America's oldest special-purpose charitable fund for children. The review, which will be published and made available to 200 state agencies, private agencies, schools, colleges and libraries, will analyze effective practices, programs and service delivery models, as well as the underlying theory surrounding the health, welfare and education services to young children and their families. The review will help to organize the body of relevant literature, and inform future program planning, development and implementation efforts surrounding the delivery of services to young children. Cal State San Marcos President Dr. Bill Stacy noted that "California State University, San Marcos is delighted to have the chance to serve the early childhood education and care community in the Pacific Rim. The Castle Fund for children and the John Dewey Fund helped start the University of Chicago Lab School in the 1890s and is continuing to invest in forward-looking institutions, people and programs. We look forward to our continuing outreach to the many communities we serve." Castaneda joined CSUSM's College of Education in 1992 and received her Ed.D.fromHarvard University. �Don't forget victims ^ Cal State San Maree^hn^^d the EDITORIAL ^SwiMarcos is a u n i v e r s i t y ^ t t f f l p e d i ^ ^ ^ f j ^ ^ n a e n t j l of all people, regardless of, tfeefrage, s ex or etifiiikity.

Koenig BUSINESS MANAGER Joyce Kolb NEWS EDITOR Tony Barton ON-LINE EDITOR TyCarss FEATURE EDITOR John Loch ENTERTAINMENT EDITORS Jill Ballard, Julia McKinlay TECH EDITOR ToddFederman PHOTO EDITOR David Taylor The verdict has been reached and the dividing line has been drawn—butitisnot the kind of line you might think it is. When I talk about the kind of line drawn as a result of the OJ Simpson trial, I mean that a division has been drawn between those who care about victims of crimes like murder and those who care more for a "fallen hero" instead. This kind of division holds no racial boundaries. Caucasians and African Americans share the blame equally. The day the verdict was read, I was shocked to hear the response of the Los Angeles Urban League's president on KNX 1070-AM radio. He talked about how pleased he was that the Los Angeles Police Department was exposed for the corrupt institution it is. Frankly, I could not agree more with that sentiment It is what h e said afterwards in response to a reporter's question that angered me. "Shouldn't the murders of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman be the focus of this case?" the reporter essentially asked. The bestthepresidentcoulddowasshrugitoff by saying, "Yeah, this case was also about murder and other things." •Murder* and "other things?" The sole case was murder. OJ Simpson was found not guilty and that decision needs to be accepted. As a result, however, the murders of Brown and Goldman technically remain unsolved, and that is a tragedy. Not to the president of the Los Angeles Urban League. He and his organization have gained important political clout now that African American citizens of Los Angeles have been vindicated when it comes to LA police corruption and disorganization. To top that, perhaps the most prominentAfrican American celebrity has been acquitted of murder. That response did not anger me nearly as much, however, as the reactions of Simpson fans in general. I remember the images broadcast on television and reported in local newspapers. People across racial lines cheered that the "Juice" was "let loose," and to hell with the murder victims and their families.

JfelF OENIG reminding America and the world how his life changed t he night h e found out his son was so brutally killed. Students at Palomar Collegecheered in the Student Union when the verdict was read, but the cheers outscreamed t he cries of those who felt for the victims nonetheless. If Simpson was found guilty, it should have been a sad moment If h e was found not guilty, as he was, t he moment should have been just as somber. His acquittal did not erase the murders. Yes, t he dividing line has been drawn. Not between "black" and "white," but between those who care for victims and their families and those who believe in false heroes. T here is no doubt Simpson abused his former wife, but that is not the issue for Simpson lovers. The only issue for a great many of those who cheered his acquittal is that now they can pay who-knows-howmuch to see him "tell his story" on pay-perview cable, or see him on television as a sports commentator or salesman or perhaps meet him on an airplane. No one, and I mean no one, must forget the two most important things to come out of this trial. First, our judicial system does work. The jury felt a reasonable doubt as to his guilt, and they had to acquit as they were required to do. That decision is to be respected. Secondly, and most importantly, two people are dead and two families must live with t he fact that t he murderer of their loved ones was never brought to justice. One of those victims was an unassuming friend of Nicole Brown, and she was the mother of Simpon's two youngest children. There is nothing to celebrate about t hat I have only one thing to say to those who have allowed celebrity status to blind them to t he cold, hard truth: save your star-crossed cheers and take just one moment to care.

Why has the graffiti not been removed from the student parking lots? What I want to know is why theTKEs (members ofTau Kappa Epsilon) were notfinedto pay for the cleanup of our campus parking lots. I think that it is a travesty ofjustice for the university to condone thefraternity's"tagging" of our parking facilities by not punishing those responsible. This sort of gang style exhibition of machismo should not be an acceptablefromany group on campus (I would be just as upset if the Christians painted a huge cross and a bleeding Christ hanging on it as if the local Ku Klux Man had written anti-Semitic slogans on the blacktop).

I see people obsessing about trivia and ignoring crucial issues.

What the hell are we thinking? Are we thinking at all? Are these t he "family values" t hat t he "Right" wants us to mirror—values where this media circus holds the front page of every national paper and major network and the hungry are ignored on page E47? Is this the "change" that the "Left" is always clamoring for? Who owns you? How do you decide what is important (do you even decide)? Has government finally gotten smart and started using the media to direct our attention away f rom i ts misdealings? I was thinking of Rome and about t he coliseum, thinking about how the citizens' concerns for things of importance (like raiding Huns) was deflected onto meaningless spectator shows and clowning. I could not help but be reminded of our modern media. Do you watch "Seinfeld?" Do you laugh with David Letterman? Are your values packaged for you by the networks, the papers and the radio?

I fs so fundamentally rooted in our Mission Statement" The Cal State San Marcos Pow Wow has its beginnings in a series of Native American story-tellings held at the former San Diego State North County campus library, according to Biggs. Both Biggs and Whitehorse were responsible for the development of the events, which were a success from the very beginning, Biggs said. "Four hundred people showed up to our first story-telling," she noted. The number of participants at the annual powwows has since grown to nearly 10,000. " Ifs one of the best pow wows in California," she said, "so that after a few years of doing this we'refinallygetting it right" Biggs credited the even's committee for providing the nuts and bolts behind the event "Theirspiritisso appreciated,"Biggs added. "I think it is one of the best examples of how the university adheres to the Mission Statement," Whitehorse explained, "that this university affirms and supports cultural diversity and not just by numbers." Indeed, according to Whitehorse and event coordinator Bonnie Biggs, Native Americans are sorely under-represented in American education. The pow wow provides a gateway for the kind of educational conversation that takes place between Native America and the community at large. "Ifs not an event where you just come to eatfrybread and look at the pretty feathers," said Biggs. "Ifs the preservation of indigenous cultures in this nation." The fact that Cal State San Marcos is open to Native Americans is in itself a barrier-breaker, explained Whitehorse. "It helps develop trust with institutions where there hasn't been a lot of trust," he said, adding that, traditionally, universities have been closed to the Native American population. Having a university that is open to the population helps Native Americans feel comfortable "to be native and still be a part of the educational system, and for Indian people that's very important." Whitehorse, who is of Lakota background, cited the number of Native American faculty and staff members as an example of the university's commitment to the indigenous population. "Having faculty and staff at all levels is also critically important," he explained. "Another thing that (having these people "We have a holy Mission Statement," on campus) does is that it provides a ve- she said, "and I like to do as much as I can" hicle to get information out to the native to uphold i t �Native American students get motivated By Tony Barton News Editor One hundred twelve Native American high school students represented roughly 80 tribes from southern California at Cal State University San Marcos on O ct 6 for the third annual American Indian College Motivation day. Students from as far San Diego and Riverside were on campus attending workshops, listening and participating in songs, and attending lectures aimed at motivating them to pursue higher education. "The main objective of the event was to, help the students attain their higher education goals," said Mary Wardell, who was the coordinator of the event According to Wardell, two steps used to motivate students were bringing them to a college campus and giving them a taste of the U niversity's c lassroom e xperience through the workshops. The day was opened with a prayer, after which students chose to attend two out of six offered workshops. Available were workshops on library technology, self esteem from a Native American's perspective, Southern California Indian History, Native American stereotypes, exploring cultural information on the internet, and financial aid available to Native Americans for higher education. "The first couple of years focused on more specific information,* said Director of Student Affirmative Action Carolina Cardenas, who was instrumental in starting the event three years ago. "Every year it evolves. This year we did more of what the students were telling us they wanted. Last year we told them lots of deadlines for things like financial aid. This year we showed them that in college this is the kind of hands on experience they will recieve." Having put together a large majority of the first event, Cardenas has since handed Wardell the job of coordinator. The self esteem workshop, according to the workshop speaker and director of the Trio program Calvin One Deer, was aimed at giving Native American students the confidence to pursue higher education. "Sometimes people think that self-esteem is an ego trip," h e said. " Ifs n ot I fs about confidence. We want to give Indian kids the confidence to go to college.* The American Indian College Motivation day was the kickoff to the Cal State San Marcos Pow Wow which occurred Oct7^8. Presented at this year's third annual Pow Wow were the food, arts, crafts and dances of local Indian cultures. College of Education receives its accreditation By Tony Barton News Editor Cal State University San Marcos' College of Education received high marks in itsfirstaccreditation by a national organizationthismonth. All subjectswere passed, none were identified as lacking, and seven programs were cited as "exemplary practice" by a team of experts, representing the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education(NCATE), who evaluated the teacher education programs. "You've got to be thrilled," said Dr. Steve Lilly, dean of the College of Education. "We really are as good as we want to be." Only roughly 40 percent of teacher education programs nationwide are accredited, no more than 2 percent of those have no weaknesses specified, and typically 1-3 programs are cited as "exemplary practice," according to Lilly. The experts who reviewed the college were from universities around the country Octel's advanced technology is making it possible for people all over the world to make their voices heard.

The NCATE accreditation stands for the nextfive years. T he NCATE review follows l ast summer's successful comprehensive review by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing(CTC), the state agency responsible for approving institutions that award teaching credentials. In the CTC review, the college received approval of both ifs elementary and middle school CLAD (Cross-cultural Language and A cademic D evelopment) and BCLAD (Bilingual Cross-cultural Language and Academic Development) programs, which prepare teachers to work with a diverse group of students. "This is an indication of out success n preparing teachers for schools in North San Diego County and the surrounding region. We are pleased that our partners in area schools, as well as our past and current teacher education students, were so supportive of our programs in their conversations with the CTC team," said Lilly of the accreditation. A CTC team granted CSUSM unconditional approval of ifs programs after interviewing faculty, current and former students, school superintendents and principals, and many others to evaluate the effectiveness of the programs. CTC evaluates all university programs in the state which prepare education personnel. Get SMART with campus Financial Aid By Tony Barton News Editor number seven in line for 15 to 20 minutes."

TrishNagy/StaffPhotographer Noted author Rabbi Wayne Dosick was a featured speaker on campus Oct. 13 as part of Make a Difference Day. Dosick spoke on the ethic of doing good to students and staff in ACD-102. Rabbi Wayne Dosick speaks at CSUSM By Greg Hoadley Staff Writer T h e Ethic of Doing Good* was the theme of a presentation given by noted author Rabbi Wayne Dosick Oct 13 on campus. Students and faculty attended the lecture as part of the kick-off for this year's Make a Difference Day, which is Oct 27. The event was sponsored by Cal State San Marcos and the Office of Service Learning. Dosick, the author of such books as T he Business Bible:Ten Commandments for Creating an Ethical Workplace* and "Golden Rules: Ten Values Parents Need to Teach Their Children,* spoke of the harsh realities of modern society on the one hand, and the good that can come from volunteering one's energy to benefit the world around them, on the other. Dosick said he sensed that religion has been trivialized in modern society, noting that while 90 percent of people profess a belief in God, only about 30 percent regularly attend church or synagogue. Due to separation of church and state, it becomes much harder to depend upon our religious leaders, he explained, since they are the ones who teach society what is right and wrong. This loss of values cannot be filled by the government, he added. T h e government has no sense of what is right and just,* he told the audience. "It only has a sense of the law.* Dosickpointedoutsomecontradictions of our times. On the one hand, we are a society of victims, he said. He cited the example of a senior citizen who won a multi-million-dollar lawsuit because she spilled hot coffee on herself in her moving automobile. People take no responsibility fortheir actions because society has somehow wronged them, he said. On the other hand, he continued, this is the "ME Decade.* To illustrate his point, Dosick told of his beloved boyhood heroes,the 1959Chicago White Sox baseball team. Theteamwonthepennantbasedon a foundation of teamwork and bringing winning baseball to theirfans,he said. He then contrasted this long-ago memory to today's greedy millionaire ballplayers, whose sole motivation is selling their services to the highest bidder, he noted. Such a society, which Dosick said condemns personal responsibility and teamwork, makes it that much harder to live a virtuous life while fulfilling one's goals, much less finding the time to make a !Making a difference starts with yourself' Rabbi Wayne Dosick difference in someone else's life. w In the end,* he said, "we count on ourselves. Making a difference starts with yourself. Every day when you go to work, you can raise or lower the spirit of those you work with, just by your attitude,* Dosick encouraged his audience to see beyond themselves, to "see the faces of those we are feeding; not the 'hungry' or the 'needy,' but the individual faces.* This leads to a third irony. T here arefivebillion people in the world,* he said. Through modern technology, we have the capacity tp feed seven billion people. Yet only four billion people are regularly fed.* But can one person make a difference through the ethic of doing good? Dosick said yes, as he pointed to the names of those once-simple, ordinary people, past and present, who were able to make a change for the better: Lech Walesa, a Polish plumber, was instrumental in gaining his nation's independence, Dosick cited. Today, Walesa is the president of Poland. Mother Teresa, now in her 80s, still strives to make the world a better place for the children, he continued. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was able to change our nation's consciousness on the issue of race. So how does one know if he or she is doing what is ethically good and making a positive difference? Dosick said he has what he calls the "Rodney King Syndrome.* "If my every action were shown on national TV for all to see, would I be ashamed or proud?* That is the question people must ask themselves. In closing, Dosick gave his listeners an easy reminder on how to live their lives and practice the ethic of doing good, underthepseudonym "ETHICS*—'E'stands for everywhere, T is all the time, 'H' is honesty, T is integrity, 'C' is compassion and <S' is for what is at stake: your reputation, your self esteem, your inner peace. �AMAZING PACKAGES AMAZING AIRFARES H AWAII $ 169 ow E .

San Marcos (Mulberry Plaza) Be prepared: flu is on its way I fs that time of year again. The weather has changed, midterms are here, students and staff are under stress and the first round of respiratory viruses have arrived. The media is also stating that the "flu" has arrived. According to San Diego County Public f: PRINCIPLES of SOUND RETIREMENT INVESTING Health Department there are no reported cases of true influenza yet Also, they are not predicting a harsh "flu season" as has been reported in the media. True influenza is a viral respiratory infection that strikes suddenly with high fever, bodyaches, frequently severe headache (especially around the eyes) dry hacking cough and ofter respiratory symptoms. Most young healthy adults will be able to recoverfromthe infection without much problem except missing a few days of classes or work. For others who are considered "high risk", the illness can be very serious with pneumonia and a long recovery being prominent To prevent this potentially serious illness each year an influenza "flu" vaccine is developed. It changes each year because although the clinical illness doesn't change the virus does. Viruses are very sneaky microbes. By the way, there are two significant influenza viruses, A &B. Type A causes the most severe illness. The vaccine this year protects against 2 viruses of the Atype and one of the B type. The best time to get the vaccine is essentially now through November because it often takes a few weeks to develop antibodies after vaccination. The immunity then lasts at its highest level for approximately three months. As with many preventive health practices people don't avail g DR. PEL mm. RINOLDS themselves to their benefits. One reason frequently given is that influenza is a nuisance illness. As previously stated it is very serious for high risk people and can strike even healthy people quickly causing pneumonia. Also, it is a major factor in loss of school and workdays. Secondly, people all too often have heard stories about reactions that mostly are not true andfrequentlygreatly exaggerated. Studies have demonstrated almost the same reported effects with vaccine or placebo (placebo being not an active vaccine). Also, the newer vaccines are purer and more sophisticated. The only true contraindication not to receive the vaccine is a serious allergy to eggs because the viruses used to create the vaccine are grown in egg cell-culture. Who should definitely receive the vaccine, i.e. the high-risk groups? They are as follows: 1. People with chronic lung or heart disease. This includes persons with asthma-which includes many college-age students. 2. People with chronic metabolic disease such as diabetes, kidney disease or people who are immunosuppressed. 3.

"I can barely make a slice of t oast I'm not adverse to technology, although I will admit that it does scare me immensely." The other three members of Gene played great yet remained in the very animated shadow of Rossiter. Although it should be mentioned that lead guitarist Steve Mason ("The Handsome One," as introduced by Rossiter) was infineform. Drummer Matt James and bassist Kevin Miles also played wonderfully. Gene played "Left-Handed," a song about coming out of the closet and losing one's mother's love. Upon being asked about his own sexual orientation Rossiter seemed slightly annoyed yet explained, *I refuse to give it a name, but I'm attracted to both men and women, although a lot of people seem to think that that means that I'm some screaming nymphomaniac who runs down the road in a caveman outfit grabbing anything in his path....which is a nice t hought but that certainly never happens." Even though the T>and has an obvious sex appeal, Rossiter denies any advancements by his fans, "Oh no, they're far too well behaved." Gene also played their ode to those who've lived and died and were shunned in the process, "For H ie Dead," and a sad song about a dead brother who's last dying signals went unnoticed, "London, Can You Wait?" When asked about his beliefs of the post-physical death Rossiter simply said, "I believe in soil." T hafs it? "Religion is created because humans cannot cope with the idea that there is no more than 70 years." If the religious hold beliefs out of fear then Rossiter avoids it for the same reason. "I'm very scared of death and I prefer not to think about it," he said. Even with that said, Gene still played the lush single "01ympian"withthewords, "Formidable and not afraid/Of the next world, just delayed." Gene also treated the audience to a "burial ofjustice" song called "Truth Rest Your Head," to which Rossiter introduced with a reference to OJ Simpson. "Ifs very easy to say, Yes OJ Simpson is guilty,' or, Y es OJ Simpson is innocent' Obviously it wasn't a trial, it was a TV show," he said of the recent trial. "In fact it was a fiasco and how the man managed to get a fair trial in the first place I really don't know, so Gene lead singer Martin Rossiter noticed that San Diego locals are, "horrendously anti-smoking, which is understandable, really." I really have no opinions on i t I am quite prepared to say I don't know enough information to say whether he is or not, but I hope that at least that policeman Mark Furman dies." But with all that lackof opinion stated, he still sang, "Truth rest your head/There is more than a life at stake h ere/For me you died tonight/So don't involve meinyourplans/Whenthe chat shows beckon/For me you died tonight" W hen h e's not s inging, Rossiter sometimes occupies himself with American afternoon talk shows. He marvels at the psychology of the guests. "I think they're mad in a wonderful way," h e noted. He even fantasizes about appearing in multi-disguises on various talk shows around the world, "spouting utter nonsense and scaring lots of children." He does, however, have a problem with shows such as Melrose Place because of their "art of compromise. They make a nod to feminism and they make a nod to the left, but when push comes to shove they always shy awayfromthefinalpunch." Rossiter doesn't enjoy making videos, either, "because all the people who make videos are frustrated film makers. They don't give a monkey's armpit about the actual song. They don't care. They're there to try and make something that will look good for their portfolio so they can get into Hollywood and t hafs what really, really annoys me." The band has a lot of touring to do before they can move on to their next album. Rossiter, however, is anxious to get beyond their current album "Olympian." A new album will hopefully leave the cliche Smiths comparisons in their wake. Even though Rossiter is part of such a wonderful group, h e still seems a little bit depressed and never finds himself fully satisfied. "I am human," h e somberly explained. He drowns his sorrows in alcohol and cigarettes. Even his songs cry for help. The song "Be My Light, Be My Guide" was played in full force. Gene introduced three new songs that Tuesday night and after the last song was played, the crowd was left wanting more. Gene came back for three encores. Nobody in the house dared decline such grand designs. �Letters Continued from page 5 Mr. Hoadley, I sincerely hope this article was a result of an assignment you weren't too interested in writing. I fs hard to imagine that someone on this campus would be so naive and uninformed as to believe these "facts* as you wrote them. In one sense, I agree with you. Congress did blow it in regards to funding for the arts. The budget should have at least been tripled. It would be more efficient if I just go through your article and point out some of your misinformation. C ongress's m oney i s t he public's money. Our money. Our tax dollars. In theory, that means they spend it on what the public wants. That obviously doesn't really happen, but if you'd check the Constitution, thafs what is supposed to happen. By cutting the funding for arts in America, Congress would be robbing the public. Since it would help to know what we're talking about here, I thought it might be good to figure out the cost of arts funding to the American taxpayer. Given the current budget of $438 million and a taxpaying population of about 240 million, it comes out to around $1.83 per person, peryear. I don't think thafs too much. In your second paragraph, you s tate t hat " the f ederal government...has no business funding arts.'' Although some of these programs might seem unreasonable to you personally, they are valid nonetheless. This pat- tern goes throughout the history of humanity. With very few exceptions, all the classic arts have been produced with state funding. Mozart worked for the emperor of Austria, Michaelangelo worked for the Catholic Church, Le Corbusier worked for t he French government As far as "surviving in a capitalist environment" is concerned, it barely merits comment Anyone with knowledge about the arts business will gladly elucidate how difficult it is to survive in a culture that has no artistic identity. If the American public had greater access to art, as opposed to corporate media, it might be easier to make a living with i t The arts are by no means a "luxury item." They constitute one of the few things we share with our fellow humans. It is a common bond between cultures, and I doubt you could find any business or industry that does not require some sort of artist in its overall structure to function. Thaf s just a f act Accessibility to art has often been a measure of how civilized a nation is. All the great cultures of the past owe much of their success to the quality of their arts. It is callous and grossly irresponsible to suggest that cutting a virtually nonexistent segment of the budget would benefit America, let alone relieve t he national debt in any way. Frankly, o ne of t he b iggest "luxury items" thafs been tossed about is military spending. You mention "Sesame Street" and Barney" as being two shows that would survive without public funding.

Tell me, what do you think most young kids would rather watch? "Sesame S treet" or "Beverly Hills 90210?* If children's shows are not publicly supported they die. That's a fact of economics. Theshowsthatthe Public Broadcasting System (PBS) produces do not reach as wide an audience as they should, partly because they're not as concerned with commercial success. This attitude allows them the luxury to produce p rograms which might actually be useful. I laughed when I read your " ...the i nfamous Robert Mapplethorpe photos (too lewd to describe here)." What do you knowaboutthem? Personally, I'm not offended by still-lifes and portraits. Perhaps you are? Oh, you must mean the homo-erotic ones! Well,frankly,some people have self respect and don't need to be homophobic. For your information (and I assume you're referring to the Cincinnati exhibit), Mapplethorpe's exhibition included several hundred photos, only 10or20ofwhich were homoerotic. These were in a separate wing and had limited access. If s doubtful anyone who didn't want to see them did. Incidentally, with t he $10-bill project you mentioned, you might have given some credit to one of the artists involved — David Avalos, a professor and program director of CSUSM's Visual and Performing Arts program. Also,fortherecord, that piece received no federal funding. You're right, the arts are important to our society. I'm sure even Jesse Helms agrees with t hat However, although some funding (a fairly large percentage) does comefromthe private sector, the federal government is not only obligated to fund the arts but ifs in the public's best interest that they continue to do so. If you think an educated populace is a good thing, then youH support continued funding. Art is a necessity in our lives. It keeps us motivated, inspired and helps us push the limits.

According to officials, several UCSD students researched the issue two years ago and found that UCSD admissions was using a system which made it mandatory for students to use Social Security numbers as identification. A few UCSD students complained about the policy, stating that it was against the law. This integrated student information system was implemented prior to the Federal Privacy Act of 1974 and therefore was not declared illegal. The usage of Social Security numbers for general ID purposes increases chances of the number being used fraudulently. One official in the registrar's offices at UCSD said, "A student came up to me and said that someone had gotten a hold of her Social Security number, and then used it to access her grades and tamper with her class schedule." In the proposal, the UCSD Associated Students quoted a US CourtofAppealscase (Greidinger vs. Davis)from1993which stated, "Armed with one's Social Security number, an unscrupulous person could obtain a person's welfare b enefits...order new checks at a new address on that person's checking account, obtain credit cards, or even obtain a person's paycheck." The Associated Students at UCSD were forced to make a "Student Privacy Proposal" to the registrar's office. The proposal allows students to change their Social Security numbers to nine digit random computer-generated ID numbers. The AS suggested implementing the new program at UCSD, giving random ID numbers to all new incoming students. The program was accepted and will begin in the fall of 1997 with the freshman class being the first at UCSD to be issued random ID numbers. A gradual "phase-in" of random ID numbers will be opted for continuing students in October 1996. According to Associated Students officials at UCSD, the proposed policy initially caused some problems. Registrar officials were worried about costs and said "the proposal was needed in order to cut down cost for making new ID cards." See ID, page 3 �Registration enters touch-tone era By Tone Barton News Editor Registration via telephone will be available for the first time at Cal State San Marcos for the s pring of '96 s emester. T he SMART system, which currently providesfinancialaid information over the phone, will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, excluding Sunday mornings, in place of a mail in registration form, which makes students wait up to five weeks for a response. C urrent s tudents will b e mailed a date and time after which they may register by phone. Telephone registration begins Nov. 15, with continuing students having priority registration times, and ends on Dec. 1. "(The SMART system) is convenient. You can call from home or the local bar or wherever, as long as you have a touch tone phone,w said Kathleen Fanella, the Associate Director of Admissions and Records. "Students are our clients. We want registration to be easy and convenient." • The system has been planned for for the last year primarily by Fanella, who was the project leader for touch tone registration at SDSU prior to coming to CSUSM, and Michael Yee, who dealt with the programming. Fanella plans to listen to student feedback after the first runthrough of the system this semester to search for possible improvements. "We want to make sure students get the classes they need," said Fanella. "(A voice response system) is something that most campuses have." Besides registration and finan- cial aid information, SMART also provides grades to students and will eventually make available admissions information, including status of applications. The SMART system can be reached by calling 750-FONE on a touch tone phone. Students having problems using the system can see admissions and records for assistance. First basketball season begins By Andrew Bailey Staff Writer The long awaited Cal State San Marcos intramural basket ball season kicked off Oct. 23 at Palomar College with eight teams in action. H ie games were played at the Palomar College Dome gymnasium and featured tight competition between the teams involved. The opening night of games was a success, according to Charles Ragland, Associated Students president. "We were very pleased with how the games turned out and our Director of Recreation K m Glaser and our Recreation Assistant Gabbi MacKenzie did a wonderful job oforganizing the event," he said. In thefirstnight's action, Team X defeated TKE, Team Green knocked off The Bulls, Team Dave got the win over H ie Hoopa-holics and SAE outlasted The Islanders. T he g ames went smoothly and everything was well organized, according to participants. "It was a lot of fun because I got to meet new people and I thought they did a good job organizing the games and everything. It looks like it will be a lot of fun," said participant Jon Dease. More good news is on the horizon for the intramural sports program at CSUSM. Arie de Jong of Hollandia Dairy agreed to donate funds for three-row bleachers to be used for events taking place out on the CSUSM field. He also is donating money to pay forfieldline markers, soccer goals with nets and the outdoor volleyball poles. The total donation comes to over $4,000. Basketball action resumes this Monday, Nov. 6 at the Palomar College Dome at 6 p.m. The Islanders take on TTie Hoop-aholiks, Team X battles Team Green, SAE challenges Dave and in the nightcap TKE faces The Dreamers and Bulls. League play will continue until Dec. 4, which is the conclusion of the regular season. This will be followed by the playoffs which start Dec. 11. Still more hoops on the way... Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) is holding its Three-on-Three Basketball Tournament Nov. 5, and more than 30 teams are expected to participate.

Photos by Trish Nagy ID Continued from page 1 "Someone once got a hold of my Social Security number, and tried to get some of my financial records using it," said one UCSD student who wished to remain annonymous. After that incident last year, she said she opted for a random ID number. Social Security numbers, if entrusted into the wrong hands, can be used to access credit card data, bank account data and other private information, and in the age of computer technology, concern about invasion of private information is a prevalent f ear. "People are becoming more cautious when giving out private information about themselves," said another UCSD s tudent While UCSD's student government has taken action concerning the use of Social Security numbers as identification, Cal State San Marcos AS President Charles Ragland indicated h e sees no need for a similar policy here. "Using Social Security numbers as identification numbers is not a major concern to students h ere a t CSU San M arcos," Ragland stated. "CSUSM offers students the option of changing their ID numbers to random ninedigit numbers, and very few students use this service. Replacing Social Security numbers with random numbers for IDs would not eliminate access to students' Social Security numbers because it is legally required on so many other documents. The AS will continue to aim its energy toward the major concerns of the student body. At this point, this is not one of them." Such an alteration of policy also is not needed since the campus is so new, according to an Admissions and Records official. Besides, CSUSM enrollment policies follow state law as it is, she explained. "CSUSM policies are in accordance with state law, and all 22 schools in the Cal State system follow the Title V Code, which is like the Bible for state education r equirements," a ccording to K athleen Fanella, a ssistant direcor for CSUSM Admissions and Records. "Some students feel that, for privacy's sake, they need to confidentialize their Social Security numbers, and that is an option that they can choose. All they have to do is come in to the Admissions and Records office and state that they would like to change their ID number to a random number."

This program is unique in that it does not focus on specific areas of exper- tise, but covers a wide range of business and management skills, according to program officials. According to officials, the new program puts a great deal of emphasis on the essential skills of 21st century business discipline. Diversity, ethics, intellectual cu- riosity, self-direction and technology skills are just some of the things taught in the program.

"The marketplace is showing that what employers want is people with broad educational and experiential backgrounds," h e explained. "We are providing just that to our students in the MBA program." With the constantfluxof technology and the global economy, the most important skill taught in the program would have to be the ability to adapt to change, he added. Black said the response from students towardstheprogramhas been substantial. "We had hoped for about 50 or 60 students," he said. The fledgling program now holds about 90 students. The program is rigorous but may be completed within 18 months. Classes are held every other week on Fridays and Saturdaysfrom8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. A number of different methods of approach to teaching the program will be administered by a staff of very high caliber, Black said. Dr. Dale Geiger, a graduate of Harvard University, and former controller for Texas Instruments is just one of the government and business professors on the teaching staff. Barbara Bashein, another MBA professor, was a former partner for many years at Anderson Consulting. "We are trying to provide a fundamental background in business and government manage- �Don't tread on us Fire is nothing DITORIAL One of the most important elements of American democracy is the freedom of the press. While government my not S S I always likewhatthe press has to report, the press's position as an additional "check" on government is extremely important Some members of the Associated Students government on campus seem to think otherwise. In the last two weeks, two members of the government body have made disturbing requests and unfair remarks concerning the relationship between The Pride and the AS. The first incident occurred when one member told Editor-inChief Roman S. Koenig that the student newspaper was essentially an "arm" of the student government because it provides some of the publication's funding. Thus, the AS has the right to demand a certain level of coverage in exchange for that support. Secondly, this officer hinted that Pride reporters were subjective in their articles and utilized "one-sided" sources. The second incident came a week later, when yet another officer left a phone message telling the staff that the AS had arranged to place a free advertisement by a local business in the newspaper as a "thank you" for their support of Make A Difference Day. Advertising space in this newspaper, of course, is the sole concern of The Pride's staff. While both incidents were diplomatically resolved last week with the addition of a page of news from the Associated Students, written by its officers, and provided as a public service of The Pride, the underlying attitudes that have surfaced are very disturbing. "Loyal opposition" is a pillar of democracy. No newspaper has an obligation to publish only the "happy news" of government If government officials are acting in a way that conflicts with democratic ideals, the press has a right and obligation to call them on it, just as The Pride is doing in this editorial. . Tradingfreead space in this newspaper without consulting its editorial staff is unacceptable. Accusations that The Pride is one-sided in its all-around coverage are unfounded. The editors and writers work their fingers to the bone to provide readers with a balanced and unbiased news report Opinions are reserved for the Opinion page. The only place where the press is an "arm" of government is in a totalitarian regime. This is 1995, not George Orwell's "1984." If elected student officials honestly believe that their support of a free press means they have the right to control it, and these people intend to be the future leaders of the United States, then the future looks very bleak indeed.

As a reporter, I have covered such events, and always I left the scene saddened and depressed. Fire. Just a few doors downfrommy home, a family lost their home to fire Oct. 30. They did not just lose a room, a quarter of the house, or even half. The building was a total loss, according to fire fighters on the scene — an empty, burned out shell. I stood in amazement that Monday afternoon as flames gutted the interior of the house. The faces of neighbors were grim. As much as we were in awe, we knew that the family who lived in the house, our fellow neighbors, would have to face a tragedy of the worst kind. As I watched the house burn, I thought of the fires my family had been through. My step-grandmother's garage. My aunt and uncle's apartment In both cases, the structures were total losses. It was nothing to smile about As the fire progressed that day, however, a different caliber of spectator joined the rest of us concerned onlookers. Those who brought their young children to marvel at the sight of tragedy. The parents came smiling, pointing out the smoke and flames as their children giggled. Would they be smiling when their house burned down? Would they want others to do so? Needless to say I was appalled, and that feeling was compounded when a woman with two children in a stroiler walked up and started shooting home video. What was she going to do with it? Would she sell it to a local television station? Was she the wife of one of the fire fighters, and taping the tragedy as a personal career memoir? It did not matter to me. I was upset enough at the destruction I was witnessing.

Suchatragedy isnothingto smileabout While I have never personally experienced the destruction offire,the experiences of my other family members have taught me this. But there is something more. Fire is nothing to smile about not just because of what I have learned, but because simple human compassion tells me so.

We feel that this illustrates a grossly unfair bias against the Greek organizations that undermine the integrity of the efforts of many fine young women and men who have made great sacrifice and took great care in setting the foundations for a successful Greek system at CSUSM. Since the university and Public Safety granted TKE permission to chalk the pavement, we feel confident that TKE did not participate in any activity that was in blatant defiance of university TTERS policy. TKE and the members of the CSUSM Greek community vehemently reject the author's comparison of the chalked letters of TKE, attributed to all of the Greek groups, to gang graffiti. In addition, we hardly feel it appropriate to liken the proud display of letters to, as the letter reads, "Christians paintinga huge cross and a bleeding Christ hanging on it as if the Ku Klux Klan had written anti-Semitic slogans on the blacktop." This comparison is an outrage and is a rather poor choice of words directed unfairly at an entire Greek system that combats negative stereotyping and anti-Greek sentiment on the CSUSM campus on a daily basis. To suggest that the chalking of the pavement illustrates favoritism towards TKE is both misguided and wrong. I am wondering if the author even bothered to check to see if CSUSM had granted TKE permission to display its letters.

While to the author of this letter the chalk represented "gang-style exhibition of machismo,w to many others it was a colorful addition to a bland campus that at first glance appears to have nothing going on. If the display of letters was so embarrassing to the author and the school, why did he choose to attack the Greek groupsafter the PowWow, which he seems to indicate was damaged by the display of letters? TKE certainly never intended to offend the campus community in proud display of letters and has willingly cleaned up the chalk. If anything, we feel it represents the pride the Greek system's members have taken in CSUSM becoming the university of the 21st century. The author has suggested that we do not care about the way in which the university is viewed by the community, students and faculty. It is tragically funny to me that the members of the Greek system at CSUSM, who are found guilty of disgracing the university in this letter, are never given credit for the hours of community service that each Greek organization enthusiastically performs in hope of changing the negative images and stereotypes levied against us routinely at GSUSM.

Dear Editor: There is a fine line that separates ideas and opinions. Formulated thoughts expressed as ideas border closely on personal views expressed as opinions. But there is a difference, often subtle, often a problem. The distinction is of extreme significance in the classroom. In a general sense the classroom is a marketplace of ideas and not a polling place for opinions. In the classroom the professor should have the same limitations in expressing those opinions as the students. Herein lies the problem. The teacher is in control of the classroom. There is a strong temptation for the one in charge to transgress thefineline between ideas opinions. It is easy to move from generally-held views to pre? conceived notions, to personal prejudices, favoritism, intolerance, even bigotry. Such biases can be rationalized as part of the educational process. They can be hidden within required reading assignments and class assignments which are graded. Biases expressed unilaterally by the instructor may become an unfair infringement upon s tudents' rightly-held beliefs. A guiding principle in teacher classroom performance is thatthe s tudent never knows t he instructor's personal opinion.

The author did not check to see if proper procedures were followed to display chalk letters in the lot nor did he use the open lines of communication extended to the campus community by Greek organizations to discuss issues that pertain to the entire university. We find it ludicrous to send this letter, not having confronted TKE about the chalk, to university president Dr. Bill Stacy.

By Greg Hoadley Staff Writer Imagine what it must be like to come to a foreign country to study. You may or may not speak the same language, and if you do, it is with an accent In addition, the customs and ways of thinking are different, and blending in becomes quite a task. But there are advantages to such programs. The foreign student gets to experience a culture differentfromhis own, and he is able to go home with more knowledge of the outside world than he had before. Cal State San marcos offers such a program which brings students here from around the world, and from countries as diverse as the United Arab Emirates, Taiwan, Sweden and the Ivory Coast. Though the International Students program is small (14 students), Adviser Janice Bronson is confidentthatrecruitingwillpickupsteam, especially now that the university is a fouryear school. Before this semester, only international students transferred here from the local community colleges. "Beforehand, the international students (at CSUSM) had transferred here from local community colleges, so they already had a year or two to adjust," she Bronson. Martin Backlund is an international studentfromSweden who has been in the US since 1990 and at CSUSM since 1993. Backlundrecently graduated fromCSUSM with a double major in business and economics, and is now back for a master's program. Martin has an on-campus job and is very active on campus. Though he doesn't have much contactwith other international students, he helped to write The International Students Handbook in his first semester at CSUSM. Onfirstintroduction, one would be surprised to learn that he is from a nation halfway across the world. But after much discussion Backlund offers many insights on the similarities and differences between life in Sweden and life in California. For example, Sweden is a much more socialized country than the US, he said. While Swedes pay more in taxes, they feel the difference is made up in receiving Foreign exchange student shares insights more government services.

On the other hand, Backlund said, "There is more of a group mentality [in Sweden!. The motto is 'everything in moderation.' People are more accepting of the status quo. "In the United States, the individual is considered most important. Nothing is impossible here, and everything is a challenge." Backlund also enjoys the "customer service mentality in the United States," and the free rein students are given to pursue their studies and interests. Backlund said h e isn't sure if he and his wife (who is also Swedish) are going to stay in California, or return to Sweden after completion of his education. Either way, he says his life experiences here have 'In the United States, the individual is considered most important.

The purpose of the board is to act as patient advocates for the student population, to hear grievances, assess student needs and make recommendations regarding services offered and fees that may be charged. Board members also take an active role in promoting health education and participating in activities and events on campus and in the local community. Through various fund raising activities, the board sponsors selected member representatives to attend national health conferences. Last year, the board sent one member to the Pacific Coast College Health Association Conference (PCCHA) and sponsored one member to attend the American College Health Association Conference in Atlanta. Thisyear, See SHAB, page 12 AIDS Quilt in San Marcos The Names Project AIDS Memorial Quilt Exhibit is coming to the San Marcos Town Center Nov. 11-14.

Sulfa S San Marcos, C 92069 A 744*1313 �Student records album in Science Hall By Jill Ballard Entertainment Editor Cal State San Marcos student James Thomas has recorded an album entitled "Blasphemy," attributed to his band Nation Of l ies (Xevious Communications). All of Thomas's work is told on the sleeve, "All songs written, arranged, programmed, performed, and produced by JamesThomas." The album was recorded in the basement of the campus Science Hall, and if you're wondering how Thomas got the special privilege to use such a place, well, T m a music major, and as part of that I did the album as an independent study," Thomas ex- plained. Thomas writes all the lyrics and music. The music falls under the metal/industrial genre, according to Thomas, and to describe it to someone who hasn't heard it he says, 'Think Metallica meets Ministry." He also writes all the lyrics which are "generally about the various lies' in our ev.eryday lives, whether they're from the government, religion, or ourselves." Indeed the lyrics are very bitter towards religion. In "Faith and Hatred," the one single which received considerable radio attention, Thomas complains, "My God, why have thou forsaken me?" / vocal lessons here.

While there are wonderful performances from all involved, Kidman does an especially brilliant job as Stone. While I have never been particularly impressed with her previous work, I must say she has done an incredible job portraying a seemingly shallow, naive girl with a scandalously nasty s treak.

"We've been able to use music to share our faith and beliefs, and share our experiences through music," added James. Furler, who writes most of the band's music, collaborated with fellow Christian rocker SteveTaylor in writing lyrics to the album "Take Me to Your Leader." The title track is about how Christians should do more than use rhetoric. "I think a lot of times, people judge us by the way we lead our lives. If people can see a difference in us without having to open our mouths, I hope that will inspire people to come up to us and ask questions." T he g roup, however, was asked by Steven Curtis Chapman, one of contemporary Christian music's most popular artists, to open for him during his recent "Heaven in the Real World" tour. "One thing cool about Steve is he doesn't have a schizophrenic personality. He's very down-toearth. When he speaks and talks on stage and shares from his heart, that's the way h e is offstage," said James. In the course of the band's current tour, which has lasted for almost a year, the band visited the home of Rev. Billy Graham. "Itfreaked my brainsoutthatthis 'was just a normal guy who made himself available to help t he world, and encourage and inspire people with the gospel," said James, who fondly recalled the meeting. But for the Newsboys, James said he wants the band to be remembered for "being honest and true to what were called to do. Second, that people remember us as a band that was psycho— that we liked to have a good time on stage. Third, for people to enjoy our music and say we wrote good songs." Far from recording the group's last album, James said, "We've got a lot to say and I think we've got a few more albums in us yet." /^m -1 IKS Newsboys drummer Peter Fuller humorously plays to the audience. �SHAB Continued from page 9 Bob Rivera/Photo courtesy Tom Weir of Facility Services played Santa Clause at last year's candy hand-out. Season of sharing is coming Organizations come together to make holiday special Even though Halloween just passed us by, the winter holiday season is coming ever closer, and with it comes a Cal State San Marcos tradition. From 3 to 8 p.m. Dec. 18, members of Circle K club and Public Safety will hand outfreecandy to children living in apartment complexes on Autumn Drive in San Marcos. Thisyear will be the third for the event, according to Public Safety Officer Bob Rivera. Public Safety Chief Arnie Trujillo is responsible for getting the event started, Rivera said. Along with Circle K adviser Susan Buck of the CSUSM Testing Office, Circle K club and Rivera, the San Marcos Kiwanis Club is also helping out with the event After receiving candy donations from the campus commu- nity, members of the project (one dressed up as Santa Clause) go to the apartment complexes and hand out the candy to the children. This year s goal is to reach 2,000 children, explained Rivera. "When you see the faces of these kids, they come out of the woodwork," Rivera said. "We has a few mothers who were shedding some tears." Many of the families in the apartment complexes are single-parent households, mostly single mothers, he said. As part of the project, a Circle K-sponsored "AngelTree" will be placed in the Dome with 50 angels hanging from it, Rivera continued. Faculty and staff members will each pull an angel off the tree, and on the back side of the angel will be the name of a local child. Those who take angels will buy a gift for the children named on the other side. Three building complexes on campus will also adopt one family each for the holiday season, explained Rivera, who played Santa Clause for the first candy handout. Tom Weir of Facility Services played Santa last year. The three buildings charged with this task are Craven Hall, Facility Services and the complex on Rancheros Drive. Right now, candy donations are being s ought For information on donating candy or any other information regarding the event, call Rivera at7504562, Susan Buck at 7504966, or Amy Parsloe at 7504990.

The board consists of seven student members, two faculty advisors, one staff advisor and one medical advisor. The board executives are Leslie Joyce, chairwoman; Andy Greene, secretary; and Kris Johnson Scott, treasurer. Voting members include Holly Richmond, C raig C ostello, Sharolyn Goff, Ericha Ackerman and Daniel Arroyo. Dr. Fritz Kreisler and Professor Alex Durig serve as faculty advisors. Susan Mendes is the staff adviser and Dr. Joel Grinolds is the medical advisor. The rest of the money from the $20-fee goes toward such things as insurance, advertising, office expenses and audits. There are some other categories like staff benefits and council stipends thatmoney isdelegated to as well. Finally, the position of Executive Director receives a large salary, but there is no Executive Director currently. The AS sets aside half of the position's salary ahead of time to pay the Executive Director whenever there is one in the future, according to Ragland.

After nearly seven years in existence, the university has experienced itsfirstserious on-campus crime, an assault and robbery of a female student on the evening of Oct 30 in the upper faculty parking lot While the event is a tragedy in itself for a university with the lowest crime rate in the CSU system, the real tragedy might be that the student did not use one of the nearby emergency phones placed in the parking lot "The calls that I've gotten from faculty and students that get my attention are (the ones) that say they didn't know what the emergency phones w eresaid Public Affairs Director Norma Yuskos. The student, who has chosen to remain anonymous, opted not to use the emergency phone and did not report the crime until four hours after the assault, according to Alicia Smith, lieutenant assistant director for Public Safety. "If she would have (used the phone) we had an officer in the next parking lot below (who) would have been there in a minute," Smith said. Yuskos added that campus officials want to quell rumors that the student had been sexually assaulted. This is not she case, she said. For Smith, the focus now shifts to preventing such crimes in the future. Public Safety has handed out flyers to evening students and staff asking for any information about the Oct 30 assault, she explained. Public Safety also wants to get the word out about safety seminars and programs available to students.

The Oaxacan secretary of tourism visited the campus for the exhibit's opening reception on Nov. 3. The Oaxacan altar/which is no longer on display, included fresh foods and flowers as well as pictures of the deceased including recently deceased Grateful Dead member Jerry Garcia and Eric Prado, a CSUSM library assistant who died Oct. 13. Traditional masks and artwork were created by North County residents Victor Hugo and Torres Morales as part of the altar display also. "The Oaxacan Day of the Dead has particularly beautiful deeply rooted tradition," said Arts & Lectures director Bonnie Biggs. "They sent artisans to build the traditional altar." Also included in the exhibit are traditional Oaxacan art objects and two models representing a marketplace in Tlacoluna and the region between Monte Alban and Mitla, an area of major archeological importance. The picture exhibit, created by Tonny Zwollo, was sponsored by Groupo Genesis, Cal State San Marcos Arts & Lectures, the Latino Association of Faculty and Staff at CSUSM, SER/Jobs for Progress and the Oaxaca Secretary of Tourism. The Nov. 3 reception also marked the opening of "100 Portraits," a photo exhibit honoring the accomplishments of San Diego Latinos. "Once upon a Paradise" will be on display until Nov. 29.

In order to be recognized, student organizations must endeavor to make a name for themselves, not force that name on others where one has no choice but to see i t CSUSM officials should not have allowed Tau Kappa Epsilon to chalk its name on the pavement The Pride editorial staff asks campus officials to rethink the policy. This young university has a reputation and image to uphold, a reputation now recently tainted by its first serious assault crime. Graffiti-like slogans drawn on pavement do not help, either. Freedom of speech is not of issue here. The choice of how that speech is made is what is important. The Pride believes TKE President Robert Brack when he stated in his letter to the editor Nov. 1 that his organization did not mean to offend anyone. Indeed, spirit and confidence are nothing to take offense a t The ways in which that spirit and confidence are shown is another matter. TKE made a bad judgement call by deciding to chalk the campus parking lots. CSUSM officials made a bad judgement call by having a policy allowing student groups to do such a thing in thefirstplace.

Koenig BUSINESS MANAGER Joyce Kolb NEWS EDITOR Tony Barton ON-LINE EDITOR TyCarss FEATURE EDITOR John Loch ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR Jill Ballard, TECH EDITOR ToddFederman PHOTO EDITOR David Taylor Until very recently, most mainstream American voters thoughtthey had a candidate to fit their overall criteria: someone who was fiscally conservative, socially moderate, a leader who displayed maturity and was above the partisan bickering that is so commonplace in Washington D.C. Joe Six-Pack thought he had his man with Colin Powell, the retired chairman of the Joint Chiefsof Staffwho worked under Presidents Ronald Reagan, George Bush and, for a short while, Bill Clinton. Powell would have offered plenty to a Republican ticket, especially by what he lacked: the age and political career of Bob Dole, the pessimism of Pat Buchanan and the brashnessofBob Dornan. So what happened to "Powell for President," the candidacy that never was, and whatdoesthismeanforthe 1996presidential elections? It had seemed obvious to so many of us that Colin Powell would run for president, and very likely be elected next year. His memoirs have been selling like hotcakes and his book signing tour has been a success. There is the argument that fringe Republicans drove Powellfromrunning as a Republican. Staunch conservatives were afraid that he might squelch the Republican revolution which started last November when, for thefirsttime in 40 years, the GOP won both branches of Congress. James CarviHe, who ran Clinton's successful campaign in 1992, saidflatiythata(T)his completes the take-over of the Republican Party by the 'radical r ight'" With this statement, Carville ignores three major points. First of all, Powell himself is a Republican (he identified himself as such at his press conference).

GET THE VOTE OUT YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE �World-class jazz musicians perform at GSUSM By JHI Ballard Entertainment Editor The jazzduo of Holly Hoffman, flute, and Mike Wofford, piano, played Nov. 7 in ACD-102 at Cal State San Marcos. It was thefifthpresentation of the CSUSM fall Arts and Lectures Series. Both musicians are Concord recording artists. They started the show off with a blues piece. Not only did they perfom jazz, but they also talked to the audience in between songs explaining the origins of jazz and the problems the general public has listening to the music genre. Wofford played the James Brown number "I Feel Good" to illustrate the use of blues in early rock 'n roll. Hoffman explained that a way jazz originated was by, "embellishment of the melodies. Very simple melodies can be used and then you can take it through a bunch of tempo changes, (like) grooves changes, the drummer could say do something different to add a different beat to i t So really embellishment of t he melody is one of the ways that early jazz started in addition to the blues which actually came out of slavery and before." Hoffman played "Amazing Grace" as an example of embel- David Taylor/Staff Photos Holly Hoffman, above playing the flute, and Mike Wofford, on piano below, performed and explained jazz music to an audience of students, faculty and staff Nov. 7. lishing the melodies. "That's really a big part of jazz also, i fs taking a melody and working from i t I fs filling in the bars in between and changing the tempos." Wofford explained why the once-popular jazz became unpopular. "The improvising is based on the chordal changes and the harmonic structure and that starts getting a little more complicated and I think that's when jazz left the general public to a large extent," Hoffman said, adding that jazz was once considered revolu- tionary just as was rock 'n roll and current alternative music. Hoffman and Wofford also played "Sweet Georgia Brown," the theme song of the Harlem Globe Trotters, to illustrate how jazzevolved in the 1930s. Wofford played some stride piano in that number to illustrate how ragtime evolved into jazz music. He also played another stride piano piece to show how jazz is more adventurous than pop music, but "as soon as the music becomes more adventurous you begin to shrink your listening audience." They also discussed jazz solos because, as brought up by a student in Gunner Biggs's Music 427 class, some people reject jazz because it sounds too "self indulgent" 'We're trying to show you instead of this all sounding like a bunch of notes when we solo, we're trying to show you that there is a format that we use so that there is a melody underneath all that, there is a groove underneath all that," Hoffman explained. "So there are some elements here that you can relate to as a listener." The theme song to the Flintstones was then played to further illustrate improvisation over the melody. Jazz audience etiquette was also brought up. Hoffman feels that applause after solos is well deserved because "we're playing See JAZZ, page 8 �Album review New Eric Mathews album monotonous By Jdl Ballard Entertainment Editor Plus tax they're usually just so ambiguous that I find them inaccessible.

She has 24 years of law enforcement experience with such police departments as Ingelwood and Rialto, Smith added. "From a positive aspect, to me it's a learning experience," she continued. "Hopefully, this won't happen again, and we are a community. We have to police our own community, and that means staff, faculty and students." Public Safety offers escort services for students and Smith is in the process of developing a whistle program, where students can purchase whistles and use them if they are in trouble. "This campus at this particular time is small enough to where people would still hear (the whistle)," she said. Emergency phones are located in all parking lots on campus, and can be found by looking for the blue siren light on top each phone location. Even if the phone is off the hook, a Public Safety officer will check the situation out, Smith said. Information about seminars and other Public Safety programs can be obtained by calling their dispatch line, 750-3111. Even with the recent assault, Cal State San Marcos still has the lowest crime rate in the CSU system, Smith concluded. "It's still the case now and we intend to keep it that way," she said. Powell Continued from page 4 being a Democrat in disguise. Some of these Republicans, if elected, would make very good presidents. But on the whole, theylackwhatColinPowellwould have brought to the party and to America: unity. While I am conservative, a more liberalfriendof mine and I agreed we could both support a ticket with Colin Powell and, say, Jack Kemp. While Kemp is conservative on most issues, he has taken heat from fellow Republicans for opposing last year's Proposition 187, and supporting Affirmative Action. Given this, the potential of him being on a national Republican ticket is very slight Still, it would have been nice. It is very likely that Powell cut a deal with one or more Republicans to bow out. While he may still be a candidate for vice president, or even secretary of state, his aura has already been diminished. One thing is certain: many unsold copies of "My American Journey" will now be collecting dust at Barnes & Noble. Jazz Continued from page 6 and trying to create over those chord changes and over that melody something unique and original and still in that style. That's a pretty tough thing to do." Wofford, on the other hand, finds after-solo applause to be distractive. "A lot of times I don't think it's appropriate. I think it interferes from the flow of the music."

H H H O'.s.. ^O&fti: Bill1 m s ' "ss ^v-^ V- Associated Students protests food policy By Tony Barton News Editor Dancing to a joint venture In supposed violation of school policy, the Associated Students, Inc. sold food on campus to promote a voter registration drive Nov. 15. Corn dogs, cupcakes and ice cream were sold in front of Academic Hall and beverages were sold in front of the vending machines in the commons area. "Students are upset about not being able to sell food on campus to make money," said CSSA Representative Lisa Lopez. 'They've had to take fund raising off campus." Talks were already underway as to the updating of current school policy relating to the selling of food on campus prior to the AS protest The current policy is an agreement between the Foundation and Aztec Shops, the company who supplies The Dome's foodstuffs. The agreement provides the notion that other groups may not compete with Aztec Shops in the CSUSM food market. See FOOD, page 12 �Student turns misfortune into fighting chance One Cal State San Marcos student has found a way to turn misfortune into a fighting chance for life — twice. Gina Erickson of Vista was an aspiring ballerina until an accident in 1992 put Erickson in a wheelchair. Not one to give in to selfpity or to give up, she fought back and worked at her physical therapy and was determined to walk again. She also enrolled at CSUSM and channeled her energies into the Visual and Performing Arts program. Earlier this year another tragedy occurred, however. Erickson was diagnosed with reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), a side effectfromher previous injury. RSD, though it has been known since the Civil War, is still not fully understood. A painful, neurogenic disease that afflicts millions of people, RSD can be treated if detected early. In Erickson's case, it was nearlyfatal.In the last flare up, even though her heartwas healthy, RSD caused messages to be sentto heart to stop beating. Realizing the closeness of her own mortality, Erickson has started the Wings of Joy Foundation. "The only way I can make sense from all this suffering and pain, is that it gives me a chance to make a difference. Early detection is important in the successful treatment of RSD," Erickson explained. "Through the Wings of Joy Foundation, I hope to raise money to increase awareness of the disease and to educate people aboutits*symptams." T he Wings of Joy Foundation's first fundraiser is a fashion show and luncheon from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dec. 9 at LaCosta Resort and Spa. Donations are $40.

Koenig/Staff Photographer An expanded campus access road and a new bus depot are part of recent campus construction. Construction projects nearing completion By Tony Barton News Editor Surrounding construction is a reminder that Cal State San Marcos is a growing campus. Signs of construction are visible on the side of Twin Oaks Valley Road opposing CSUSM's main entrance and the area in between Barham Drive and Craven Hall. On Twin Oaks Valley Road, new Student Health Services buildings are under construction in an approximately 50,000 sq. f t lot in conjunction with Palomar/ Pomerado Health System. The Health Services offices will utilize an area of roughly 11,500 sq. f t, according to Campus Physical Planning Director Russell Decker. The buildings should be occupied in the summer of 1996. Fromtheleftoftheturnaround infrontof Craven Hall to Barham Drive, grading, tunneling and landscaping have been under way, as well as the construction of a new roadway approaching Craven HallfromBarham Drive.

Koenig Editor-in-Chief Students andfacultyhave expressed dismay this week over what they see as a case of "blaming the victim" by campus officialsafterthelate-October assault of a female student "I have to say that I ended up feelingfrustratedaboutthe whole thing," said Donna Peters, a Sociology graduate student Peters said she was concerned about two major things. First, lights in the parking lot have either been off at night and are too dim. Secondly, there should be more patrols In campus parking lots. There is a sentiment among students she s ad she talked to that itappeareditwas the victim's foultfor being assaulted since she did not use a nearby emergency phone. "It just seems like in so many things the focus is on what the victim did wrong," added Liberal Studies major Denise Gilliland. "She probably was so beaten up she didn't know what to do." L iterature p rofessor Dr. See BLAME, page 12 million, accordingto Decker, and should be completed in March of next year. The road will be finished March 16. A290-space parking lot will be opened on May 1, also. Once the grading, etc. have been completed, thefirstpriority will be the creation of Building 15, a classroom and office building which will house faculty offices, classrooms and computer, foreign language, psychology and social science labs. Building 15 will lie at the top of the stairway by Craven Hall, adjacent to Academic Hall, accordingto Decker. "We're hoping to get funding at the end of the legislative session. Fundingwas recommended by (the) trustees at (their) meeting,'' said Decker. K funding is approved by the California legislature, construction would begin July of '96 with an opening of the building in fall of'98.

Bashein, assistant professor in the College of Business Administration at Cal State San Marcos, was recently awarded a prestigious grant from the Financial Executives Research Foundation (FERF). Bashein's project, "Meeting the Controls Challenges of New InformationTech- nologies," will analyze how corporations maximize the benefits of new information technologies without increasing the control risks. Her in-depth case studies of six major corporations will address several key questions: How does the use of new information technologies change the nature of internal control? What are the best internal control practices? What are the most successful implementation strategies? Assisting Bashein on the project will be Jane B. Finley of Belmont University and M. Lynne Markus ofthe Claremont Graduate School. A not-for-profit educational organiza- tion, FERF is the research arm of the Financial Executives Institute, a professional association of 14,000 senior corporate financial executives in the US and Canada. FERF sponsors and publishes practical business research that helps define the role offinancialmanagement in corporate America. Faculty mentoring program going strong since 1991 If s an old idea—the helping hand, the open mind, mentors helping their proteges. But at Cal State San Marcos, it's an old idea with a significant societal spin — helping students stay in school, helping students to be graduated or move on to higher studies. CSUSM's Faculty Mentoring Program has been putting faculty and administrators together with their student "proteges" since 1991.

The current confusion and regulation concerning food-selling on this campus not only needs to be addressed, it needs to be clarified and reworked to allow student organizations the ability to sell food items as part of fundraising. The Pride supports the efforts of the Associated Students and student organizations to change current policy restricting such food sales. As frivolous an issue as this may seem, it is an important one. Fundraising is the life blood of many organizations on this campus. This added money-maker is not only necessary for the survival of some clubs, it can give students more choices in the kinds of food they can buy on campus. The D ome Cafe and University Store have nothing to fear from student food vendors. The call for free enterprise may be a tired argument, b ut it is valid nonetheless. A stronger argument is that students and clubs deserve to have these options open to them as a simple part of campus life. A bake sale will not put The D ome Cafe out of business. H i e obscurity of current policy, as Student Activities Director Cheryl Evans has pointed out, harkens to a time three years ago when university food services sought to end deliveries from offcampus restaurants to people ordering on campus. O ne deli that advertised in Pioneer, The Pride's predecessor, made such a complaint That deli is n o longer in business, by the way. The policy must be clarified, i tmustbe fair and, most importantly, it must offer student organizations the right to sell food items whenever fundraising is necessary. The times are changing I read with sorrow last July about the merger of North County's two local daily newspapers. Indeed, I held much affection for both. I served as a staff writer/intern at The North County Blade-Citizen in 1991. The editor and publisher of the Times Advocate have supported the PaTomar College journalism department, my alma mater, since I was a student there. Even more so, I have fond memories of watching my grandparents read the "TA" at the breakfast table when I was a child. The newspaperwarsofthe 1980s were waged between old Citizen in Encinitas and the Coast Dispatch. T he Coast Dispatch is now known as the Encinitas Sun. The Citizen was merged with the Blade-Tribune. It was hard enough as a journalist to watch the near-closure of the Vista Press and San Marcos Courier. Now, the biggest change of all comes on Sunday, when the Blade-Citizen and the Times Advocate make their union official under the new name North County Times. The papers announced the name change Nov. 26. I didn't just fear this change for sentimental reasons. The merged paper would mean one less daily newspaper to find OMANS. §ENIG work at once I graduated from Cal State San Marcos. Yet while I have watched the merger slowly occur over the last several months, I have been impressed with the strong commitment that has been made to expand North County news coverage in a time of shrinking newspaper quality on the weekly level. The Sun has gone tabloid, along with the Vista Press and San Marcos Courier. T he News-Chronicle didn't last more than two years. Perhaps what is needed to bring serious journalism back to North County is this merger. I look forward to Sunday's debut of the North County Times, and admittedly I hope their expansion leaves some room for a student newspaper editor who will be out of work as of December. But then again, I wish the same thing at the San Diego Union-Tribune and any other newspaper that will take me. 7U Pride,feott-#w/ The Pride student newspaper now has an on-line edition available on the World Wide Web.

Here are a few suggestions for future Pride issues which are far more worthy of investigating and printing. I have overheard others discussing these topics and I have engaged in these topics myself. Please address: 1) The reasons behind scheduling almost all of the winter session classes at the exact same time so student cannot take two classes. 2) Why the Dome Cafe has no ventilation. 3) What the other clubs and groups on campus are doing and contributing. 4) More promotion of upcoming events instead of only reporting after the fact on the events we missed. 5) Timeline of the construction on campus and what added features we canlookforward to in 1996-97. 6) Finally and most importantly, how CSUSM will expand their curriculum and full-time staff to offer more classes and a wider selection of class times. I write that this is thr most important because the topic of conversation over the entire campus is nottheTKEsbutthe sparse spring class schedule. K CSUSM wants to grow and prosper, a healthy Greek system is great, a safe campus essential, but a wide class selection which rivals others in Southern California is vital.

Whether Psychology �DORMS THEY ARE I M V P • it Kinks in system, community spirit found at student housing complex By Greg Hoadley Staff Writer When Cal State San Marcosfirstgot off the ground, enrollment was low, as should be expected for afledglinguniversity. But one big reason why enrollment quotas were notbeing met was thatthe university did not have a housing program. Since last May, housing has become one of the many services provided to students at CSUSM. Unfortunately, when one hears "student housing^ they might think "dorms, (i.e., living in a cramped space with three other people and sharing a bathroom with about 20 more)" and recoil in fear. No need to fret Dorms at CSUSM are a long way off, if ever, according to Housing Coordinator Tanis Brown, as the Cal State system no longer funds housing. Students in the program currently reside at nearby Island Apartments, thanks to a special agreement worked out between this facility iind the university. "When t he housing program got started," Brown explained, "there were certain criteria we wanted to m eet how can we set this up so it is affordable for students, maintain a stable relationship with the local community, and we wanted to find suitable apartments close to the university." The program offers many benefits to the students. They are provided with a furnished apartment, they have a choice between single or two-bedroom apartments, their utilities are paid for and living advisors, who live in the apartment complex, are also on hand. Students sign a lease for the school year, say,fromAugust 1995 to May 1996. When the semester ends, they have the option of staying in their apartment over the summer while paying on a month-by-month basis. Prices rangefrom$270 to $420 a month, depending upon whether they are a one or two Oliver Hepp/Staff Photographer Several Cal State San Marcos students live at the Islands apartment complex in San Marcos as part of the university's off-campus housing program. bedroom apartment The CSUSM housing program also offers assistance to students in the housing programs. a Some have made the adjustment (moving awayfromhome to auniversity) pretty well," Brown said. "But in student housing, there are always problems that need to be dealt with, such as roommate and landlord problems." One of the biggest problems students and landlords have is lack of communication/Brown continued. "Before signing a lease, students and landlords often don't put certain things down in writing." This includes living conditions and the manner in which households are kept While the housing program is done specifically for the benefit of the students, it is notwithout its problems. Students in the program cite some rules they consider "ridiculous," such as no pets, no overnight guests (particularly of the opposite sex) and no smoking indoors. Also, some students complain that they are housed right next to families, some with young children. Given that college students are nocturnal by nature, such a condition is a recipe for disaster, as well as complaints from the families. Tanis Brown responds to these criticisms by saying that the guidelines were set up by input from parents as well as from other campuses in the Cal State system. As far as location of student apartments, the housing department did try to place the students in a central area. As far as giving students a single building of apartments justfor them,- "That was out of our control," she said. Doing so would have brought up potential legal problems, as nonstudents applyingfor an apartment at Island Apartments would have had grounds for claiming they were discriminated against. "Chances are, if & student was renting an apartment on his own, he would end up next to some families anyway," Brown added The apartments themselves are not exactly suites at the Hilton, as the furniture is somewhat used, and though they are larger than dorms (which one student referred to as "little prison cells"), the apartments are not as spacious as home was. Even still, students consider it their own community. As student-residents in one apartment were interviewed, their friendsfreelycame and went. One came in asking for help with a Halloween costume, another asked around for some milk, which is of course essential to make the meal which college students everywhere are accustomed: macaroni and cheese. Though they do have their problems (as mentioned earlier), some consider the student housing a good opportunity to make friends. "This is a good place to get to know people, and to socialize. Other than the Greeks, there's no real community at school," said Casey Woodie. Indeed, two of the students in the program interviewed were also in Greekfraternities. Oliver Hepp is in Tau Kappa Epsilon, while Brandon Demamiel is a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. The housing community seems a fairly loose one. Some joked that they "live on bread and crackers," and as Demamiel kidded, "Ifs really close to midnight golf." "The main goal of the program," Brown concluded, "is to enhance the academic program, and toconnect the students with on-campus clubs; to get them involved." One student, for example, has started a recycling program, and some have gotten involved in a local basketball league. There are currently 39 students in the housing program and there is a waiting list for next semester. Letters are sent out to new and transfer students, as they are the group with the largest potential for taking advantage of the program. �Consider alternative medicine with care While I am always tempted to write about the health and fitness benefits of exercise or recent developments with sexually transmitted diseases or AIDS, some factsfroma recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine need to be known. Alternative health care is increasingly being used. By this I mean acupuncture, herbal medications, chiropractic, homeopathy, massage, relaxation techniques, biofeedback, nutritional counseling, etc. In fact, $11 billion are spent out-of-pocket annually on alternative medicine or, as Oft. some would call it, "complementary medicine". I guess it is an alternative to western medicine or complementary to western medicine. In the study, 34 percent of patients reported seeking the advice of one or more alternative health practitioners. The problem is not that advice or treat- ment was sought, but that only 25 percent of those people told their regular physician or health care provider that they had done so. Most physiciansare not aware of all the different types of alternative health care or believe, necessarily, in their benefit, however, they survey revealed 92 percent of some 500 physicians are will- ing to refer patients for alternative treatment modalities. We at Student Health Services are most interested in keeping students at an optimum level of health and wellness. We can only do that if we are partners with patients in their total health care. Also, I would argue that we are likely to be knowledgeable about alternative practices and indeed, do endorse them if we feel they could be beneficial. However, since some of these alternative modalities can be quite costly, we would encourage the patient to evaluate the benefit of such mo- dalities. likewise, there could be sound medical reasons for not combining certain treatments or the need to make adjustments with medications. Consistent with our goal of helping maintain or restore an optimum level of health and wellness, we encourage you, the patient, to discuss the alternative therapies you are using when seeing a primary care provider.

Campus advising programs offer myriad of services By Paul Hilker Staff Writer Midterms are underway, and stress levels are at their peak point How do you avoid the stress that builds throughout the semester? Take advantage of the tutoring services offered in the labs on the third floor next to the Cashiers Office. Many students tend to wait until they are overwhelmed with work before they seek helpfromtutors or advisors. Calvin One Deer Gavin, the director of ASPIRE, says that students need to take advantage of these services long before the rigors of academia begin to cause stress. "Students who take advantage of both the tutors and the classroom will reap the ultimate benefit," he explained. "They will develop strategies and schedules for organizing and executing assignments and won't have to deal with the stress."

Jh �Dance class is joint effort of culture By Paul Hilker Staff Writer Dance 392, American Modern Dance, is a Cal State San Marcos class offered at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido on Tuesdays and Thursdays. University President Dr. Bill Stacy was able to create a partnership with the Center for the Arts, making it possible for CSUSM to utilize a dance studio in central Escondido. Stacy is a chairman of the Department of Education at the center. The department, headed by Administrative Director Leah Goodwin, allows the school benefits like masters classes, presentations by professional performing artists, and the use of the facilities. The class presently has 19 female students and one male student l ike most programs at CSUSM, the class is still new, so not many people know what ifs about a It really depends on what you like. Everyone needs some kind of balance between academic and physical needs," said studentPaul Ryker. T his class is fulfilling in that it allows you to relax and enjoy yourself." The only male in the class, Ryker said he felt that because of the stereotypes and images surrounding dance, many feel that it is a more "feminineoriented" class. Rykeraddedthat "More emphasis is put on the movement and mind/body coordination rather than style or technique." Any kind of physical action, whether it be a sport, an art, or a job, has qualities which allow us to relax andforget aboutthe stress of academic work. "I like the feeling of the movementinvolved in the class," noted Jeanette Robidoux, another student "Dance is a feeling of freedom. The class allows me to experience freedom and self expression." Though the title may be intimidating to many, all experience levels are welcome.

"I really feel that the class fits well with the mission of global diversity at CSUSM," she said. "I incorporate many different cultures within the music and expression in the class." Native American and African percussion are just two of the styles of music used by the class. Since it is the only dance class offered, Scarpelli explained that more performing arts classes are needed because they add to the artistic development,and character of the sMdents at CSUSM. through movement, choreography, and information about social influence of the American culture through dance," she continued.

Film Review The American President' is ail-American fun and fluff THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT Director: Rob Reiner Columbia Pictures/Castle Rock Entertainment Starring: Michael Douglas, Annette Bening, Martin Sheen, David Paymer, Samantha Mathis, Wendie Malick and Michael J. Fox Rated: PG-13 By Andie Hewitt Rim Critic Rob Reiner's latest romantic comedy is simply good, clean fun. He has produced a sweet and sappy movie with no surprises, no sass, no substance. The president, widowed and raising his young child (Lucy) on his own, meets and connects with a career lobbyist and they begin to date. The trials and tribulations of having a "bachelor" president dating, dining and dancing the night away provides much of the movie's merriment and mirth. With the infamous and incredible face and voice of Martin Sheen as his number-one aide, AJ Mclnerney, and Michael J. Fox as his speech writer and voice of the people Lewis Rothchild, President Andrew Sheppard (Michael Douglas) tries vainly to have a "regular-joe" romance with Sydney Ellen Wade (Annette Bening). The talent that Reiner brings on board is immense and underused; they do a good job of politely tiptoeing around each other's performances, never really giving 100 percent There are over- (or under-) tones of sexism throughout the movie with Sydney reduced to a tongue-tied, shaking schoolgirl complete with a crush on the Big Man On Campus. Along with a Knight in Shining Armor and Prince Charming, now we can hope and pray for a date with the President Not only can we dream ofouryoungsonsbecomingpresident, we can hope to marry off our daughters to the leader of the freeworld. You would feel LEFT out if you didn't discern the overt political leanings of this particular presidency, not to mention the proclivities of Mr. Rob Liberal Reiner. He does, however, fill the film with plenty of pride and patriotism, and if only the people in politics were really this nice (and good looking!). Kyou're looking for something shallow, look no further, there's nothing deep, risky or inventive aboutthisfilm. As pleasurable as if s been to watch Rob Reiner evolvefromMeathead to moviemaker, he's done nothing to challenge the face offilmgenre since "Spinal Tap." Here, with "The American President," he safely and securely spits out aformulaic romance complete with, well, go ahead, you canfigure outthe ending about 15 minutes into the movie. Go see the film. Will I talk about it for days on end? NO. Will I put it on my top-10 list for the year? NO. Was I moved, was I motivated? NO. Was I . . . well, you get the picture.

Smoking Popes:for love«SUBUJft¥* of music or money? By Jill Ballard Entertainment Editor I often wonder why people want to become rock stars. Is it for the fame and money? Ithink everyone wantsthe money, but as for the fame I'm not so sure. Do people seek rock star fame because they have a artform they want to share and they really mean what they sing or do they just accept the fame in order to make a lot of money? Sometimes I'm not so sure. On Nov. 151 saw the Smoking Popes open for Tripping Daisy at the Backdoor SDSU. I interviewed Josh Caterer before the show. He seemed like a nice enough guy, but he also seemed like he didn't want to be there. He probably would have preferred to be home with his well-missed girlfriend Steffany, which is understandable, but he chose to pursue a rock star career. HecouldVesaidnoifhe wanted to. For someone who's supposed to shine in the public eye, he sure does keep to himself. "I don't want the world to know anything about me," he said. He also declined requests for off-stage photos and a signature on the sleeve of the Smoking Popes album "Born To Quit" I asked him if he was a private guy and he jokingly said, aI don't feel private." The Smoking Popes are three brothers, Josh Caterer, Eli Caterer, Matt Caterer, and one other guy, Mike Felumlee. The album has a few catchy songs like their single, "Rubella." Ifs a song about wanting the girl just as every song on "Born To Quit" is about wanting the girl— a very narrow subject to fill an entire album with, but thankfully the album is not too dull. Even if the lyrics get stale they are still fun to sing along to. When asked if he's going to write about any other subjects in the future he said, Hey Josh, what are some questions you hate getting asked? "Well, if I told you t hat you'd probably ask them" " W e n , 1 m m yes, but I'm gonna keep writing about love at the same time. I'm gonna try to combine it with other topics within the context of one song, know what I mean?" An alternative band would not of course be official without making an appearance on MTVs "120 Minutes." The Smoking Popes were interviewed for about 10 minutes and then had one clip of it aired numerous times. I asked Josh if MTV picked his best quote Qfs of him trying to explain why he writes so many "love" songs). "No, i fs one of my worst ones," he replied.

T he reconsideration of more days was already in the works." Gray formed a task force designedto update the policy to give clubs and organizations more freedom to conduct food-selling fundraisers and events on campus. It is Gray's hope that food selling days and/or events will be compromised by the start of the spring semester. According to Gray, days were set aside under the current policy for clubs and organizations to sell food on designated club days. But A.S. has not been satisfied with the tight restrictions, resulting in the protest. "The food selling restrictions protest was successful," said AS P resident C harles Ragland. "Sometimes the best way to approach a policy is to violate it." Other criticism of the current policy comes from Student Activities Director Cheryl Evans, who has never seen a copy of the policy. According to Evans, there is no written policy, but simply an agreement between the foundation and Artec Shops. T he policy has been laid down to the extent of 'here's the rule/ Most follow it to the tee," said Evans. H ie support of the food sales broughtthe largest campusvoter turnout of the year. The voting event also saw the support of San Marcos Mayor, Corky Smith and CSUSM President Bill Stacy in the morning before food available for purchase. Blame Alicia Smith, lieutenant assistant director of Public Safety. "The faster, the quikcer, you contact us, the faster we can get to you." With regard to the dim yellow lights in the parking lot, Smith said she understood that a county ordinance requires such lights to help lessen glare for the Palomar Observatory. Continued from page 2 Madeleine Marshall echoed similar sentiments. "People in positions of authority need to be a bit more savvy," she said. "People out there are scared." Both Smith and Public Affairs "What I was trying to say is that the phones are available, and Director downplayed the hype we want to make more people over the incident, saying that this aware to use the phones," replied. is the first such major assault in six years. Students and faculty take issue with that, however. "There's this wholefictionthat we live in the boonies," Marshall explained. "And anyone who reads the Times Adovate knows that if s not safe at all." Marshall said she will be teaching an evening class next spring, and walking to parking lots in groups and being aware of campus safety programs is essential.

Koenig/ Staff Qraphic Freshmen elaim law, rights violated in eviction from student housing By Tony Barton News Editor Students Casey Lapage and Oliver Hepp were evicted from CSUSM student housing at the Islands apartment complex Dec. 3 due to "continued violation of policies," according to Housing CoordinatorTanis Brown. Lapage and Hepp were evicted after a visit from their living advisor, Brad W ard, on Dec. 1, when school housing rules, >vhich have not been publicly disclosed, were found to have been broken. "A program like this can't exist without rules," said Brown. Lapage has made the accusation that he and Hepp's civil liberties were infringed upon by their not being given "adequate legal notice to vacate." Law requires 15 days in the light of a lease agreement to supply sufficient time for tenants to relocate. "We said 'Can we have until the end of the semester(to vacate)?' and they said no. W e said 'can we have a week?' and they said no. W e said 'can we have three days?' and they said no," said Lapage. Brown stated that the student housing contract was in fact a licence agreement, not a lease, and that the law is not applicable. She also stated that under the terms of the licence agreement, tenants could be vacated immediately. "We continued within contract boundaries. W e wouldn't have pursued the action we took if it was notwithin them," said Brown. Lapage criticized the fact that housing rules were distributed and signed after the signing of the licence agreement papers. Students had already signed the agreement before the rules were officially distributed. "Students concerned aboutthe policy in any way were encouraged to have an open forum for discussion. There were no attempts to take the policy any far* ther than it was layed out in the guidelines," said Brown. "We wanted (the school housing) to be a safe place for first-year students. W e wouldn't want any other students in jeopardy." A ccording to Lapage, h is mother was not informed of the eviction, though she co-signed the licence agreement. "My mother was a co-signer and she wasn't informed about anything. The school has handled this irresponsibly," said Lapage. Lapage and Hepp had to have escorts to pick up their belongings, which had been locked inside their former apartment, and other school housing residents were told they would be evicted if Lapage or Hepp were allowed in student rooms. "(Brown) can't get away with (evictinguswrongfully),"Lapage said. "She can't get away with going against our rights." �Considine takes in day of university life Dec. 1 By Tony Barton Trish Nagy/Staff Photographer The new Palomar/Pomerado health complex is currently under construction. Staff Writer On Dec. 1, Board of Trustees Chairman R.J. Qim) Consadine, Jr. visited Cal State San Marcos to partake in "A Day In the Life of a University," marking the first of what is to be an annual, one-day "trustee in residence" program. Consadine's day started with a breakfast with CSUSM "first alums" followed by a MBA class on information technology for business leaders, visits to the Decision Making center, and the Cen- IHeart of City7 progressing By Tony Barton News Editor The "Heart of the City" plan, a plan formed in 1988 aimed at developing the area around what have since become City Hall and Cal State San Marcos into a central point in downtowndeficient San Marcos, is continuing in it's progress, despite rough economic times. Current Palomar Pomerado Health Group construction and land leasing by the Spagetti Factory and Hometown Buffet restaurants, along with on-going land development, are the current workings towards the plan's completion. "Here we are seven years later with the town center underway," said San Marcos Deputy City Manager Paul Malone. "It has worked out pretty well so far. We've been victims of the economy." Additional land may be leased to Scripps, Kaiser and/or Koll developing company. A movie theatre complex and hotel are also in consideration. In addition, much of the land surrounding CSUSM needs to "be made into developmental condition," according to Malone. Anew six-lanefreewaybridge over highway 78 on Twin Oaks Valley Road is also on the agenda for 1997. It would not be unreasonable for the plan to take nearly 20 years to be completed, under the current economic conditions, according to Malone. "When the economy strengthens, I don't think it will take 20 years," he said. Making San Marcos a more attractive choice for a California State University was also an inspiration of the "Heart of the City" plan. City officials offered to collaborate with state trustees in city planning if the university were to be located in San Marcos. Plan negotiations with the Chancellor's office in Long Beach, which beganin 1996, were two years in the running. " (The university) is a substantial part of the community. It's part of the educational focus of the town. We're building San Marcos's identity around two institutions of learning (CSUSM, Palomar College)," said Malone. Malone pointed out the level of cooperation between the university and city government as a strong point in the city's development. "The degree of cooperation is unusual. There's usually some level of friction. We're hoping to avoid that in the planning process," he said. "Many communities with universities have problems. We're hoping to avoid that. We're committed to keep talking." ter for Books in Spanish. After lunch he visited the Writing Center, science labs and computer labs. " (The day was) exciting. It was justoutstanding," sad Consadine. The Decision Making Center, the new campus not being caught up in established beaurocracy, the writing requirement, and senior experience were mentioned by Consadine as "outstanding" parts of CSUSM. Consadine also attended an afternoon Associated Students meeting, where he spoke on popular trustee issues, prominently the fee increase, and answered questions. Consadine holds a BS in business management, masters degree in finance, is senior vicepresident of Ryder, Stilwell, Inc., and has been on the CSU board of trustees since 1991. The trustee-in-residence program is designed to make trustees more knowledgeable in regards to everyday campus workings.

The concerns and answers are listed below. The information comesfromBonnie Biggs. Many books are out of order. Books piled over on book trucks. I've never seen anyone replacing books. This makes it difficult if books are out of order or still on trucks if we need them. We hope to have the shelves "read" during the winter break. We only have money for a limited number of student assistant shelvers, the increased circulation of books has created a backlog. We do ask libraiy users nottoreturn materials to the shelftohelp us avoid the "out of order'' problem. When a student has all 5 classes on campus and needs to use the Lexus/Nexus, has all sylabuses (sic) for all classes but has left school ID at home but has California ID. They should be allowed to use it I only needed itfor 5 minutes. This is mid-terms and students do not need this stress! The CSU license agreement with Mead-Data (Lexis Nexis) is extremely strict about usage. One CSU campus in Northern California had its license revoked because a non-CSU student was found to be using Lexis Nexis, thus leaving all students without the service for a semester. Access with a large number of books seems only possiblefromCraven Hall without climbing stairs and a labyrinth of closed access ways. Can't it be possible to create a book drop in the student parking lot? There is a book drop in the cul de sac around infrontof Craven Hall-near the flag pole-within reachfromyour car. Everyone is very helpful and nice, but please, BE OPEN ON SUNDAYS! (Forthoseofus who work—it's hard—plus the hours on Saturday aren't long.) Thank you for the nice comments about the staff—we take pride in serving our libraiy users. We hope since you wrote this comment you have been able to use die libraiy on Sundays from 1:00 to 5:00. We've altered our weekly schedule to be open on Sundays due to comments such as yours. I feel that we as students of CSUSM should get the same privleges (sic) as students who attend SDSU. Our school (CSUSM) has a great many advantages over SDSU. M our library is not one of them. It's not the size of the library but the hours it (sic) open!! This is a major university and thefore (sic) the library should be open at the very least till midnight and 24 hours during exams if possible. The libraiy is now open on Sundays from 1:00 to 5:00. To keep the library open until midnight would require additional staff—which we are unabletofund this year. Even though our libraiy staff is only about one-quarter the size of SDSU's Love Libraiy, (CSUSM 27 to SDSU's 105) we are open 68.5 houre compared to their 82 hours per week. In addition, as a CSU student, you are welcometouse the Love Libraiy. v Why not put computer (Mac's and IBM's with printer) in the library (somewhere) for use by students. There are many times I wish I could just type my papers after I do my research. Thanks—future students will appreciate it We hope you have had the opportunity to use the newly installed computers on the thirdfloorof die libraiy at the back of the stacks. I would like to recommend a cork board for students to leave messages for group members. With the growing number of groups at this school and people either changing the place to meet or time change I think that this would be quite beneficial. Inresponsetoyour request—we installed a cork board near the libraiy exit and so far it has not been used. Please pass the word. Perhaps you would consider a card similar to the one stapled here for your machines. Often, amount needed to be copied can exceed the small bills carried. These could be sold in bookstore. -Yes—we are woridng on contracting out copier services that would include copy card capability. We need more duplication machines..^ in the libraiy, 1 in Duplication Services...not always in operation. How about a room with card operations...liiere has been an increase in the number of students, yet we do not have more machines. Yes—there has been an increase in students but no increase in libraiy space. Additional machines would interfere with student study spaces. A separate copy room is planned for die libraiy and information center building when it is built Why are there only 3 copy machines for 3670 students? I ask this because 2/3 of these machines are inoperable at this time. 5 PM on 4/4/95. What is up? Oh yeah...the 5C machine in Science Building in down too! With the new service, we hope the 3 machines are always in operation! I really like the new computers but everyone is talking in the backroom now. We need more rooms for groups to meet and talk & we need to have control over people talking in the Library when others are trying to read. Yes. This is a problem. We regret that the space problem in the libraiy will get worse before it gets better—since there are no plans for expansion until die libraiy and information center is built in 10 years. While libraiy staff trytoenforce "silence" rules, they cannot be eveiywhere aH the time. . Send us your news The Pride is looking for news submissions.

You won't see them on MTV, but you will hear them in a fifth grade class where teachers are part of the SUAVE program. Teaching students through the arts is the goal of SUAVE, which is an acronym in Spanish for Socios Unidos para Artes Via Educacidn (United Community for the Arts in Education). SUAVE is an innovative, one-of-akind program developed by Cal State University San Marcos (CSUSM) professor Dr. Merryl Goldberg in partnership with the California Center for the Arts, Escondido (CCAE) and elementary schools in San Diego. The partnership reflects the changing role of the arts in the face of major budget cuts which have eliminated most K-12 art classes in California. By integrating art into math, science, history and other subjects, SUAVE provides a more fundamental role for art in education. Now in its second year, SUAVE placed three professional artists who serve as arts coaches in elementary school classrooms. They became partners with the teachers, creating new ways to utilize the arts as a teaching tool. Goldberg has found that when art is integrated into education, learning becomes fun and students retain more. It also offers students morefreedomof expression, which gives bi-lingual students greater educational opportunities. The partners have developed curriculum including writing poetry for language acquisition, drama for students to learn history, and the visual arts to teach geometry. By making puppets of past presidents, students not only learned history, but also anatomy and math as they scaled down measurements, for example. The coaches — a visual artist, a musician, and a puppeteer/actor —join their partner teachers on a weekly basis in the classroom. Coaches and teachers work together to develop activities that are directly related to the children and the curriculum. In addition, the coaches and teachers attend five in-service days at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido where they share their experiences and meet with professional artists-in-resi- AMAZING AIRFARES dence at the arts center. At the last session, 20 teachers presented their newly-developed curriculum. The program also involves educating future teachers. As part of their student teaching, 25 College of Education students from CSUSM who focus on the arts for their credential are placed in SUAVE classrooms. Goldberg's plan is that after two years of the program, classroom teachers will in effect become mentors at their schools, enabling the three coaches to work at other schools.

Shopping carts fill to the rim,Christmaslightsgoup,andpine . , trees are chopped down. Amidst the Yuletide tumult of traffic, and frantic shoppers testing the limits of their credit cards, is the feeling of well-being, warmth, and Christmas spirit. As we look forward to the new year, many of us cannot wait for the worries and problems of the past year to be resolved in the signing of tax forms, registering for Spring classes, and the refreshing feeling of beginning a new year. During these months, too much is, I think, forgotten and taken for granted as we tend to get caught up in the frenzy of "holiday bargains," and guilt-oriented media advertisements. We don't take the time to really relax and enjoy the comfort of family and friends as much as we should. In our efforts to make the season a joyful one, we spend hundreds of doUars on clothes, toys, and other gifts, and then create more stress for ourselves by making plans for the upcoming year. In this age of telecommunications technology, have we forgotten how to communicate human-to-human; face-to-face? Try turning off the television and the computer, or unplugging the phone for once. Try sitting down on the couch with a hot cup of cocoa or cider, and enjoying the simple company offriendsand family. Try forgetting about the concerns of the real world for just a couple of hours, and look at old pictures or call up an oldfriendin a distant city. Most will find this a lot more rewarding than buying expensive or unnecessary gifts and worryong anout the impending bills to come. I find it sad that too many people don'tfeel comfortable spending time talking to, or just enjoying the golden silence while in the presence of others. The mode of thinking during Christmas tends to be one of annual habit rather than one of reverence for the tradition (which was originally based upon the birth of Christ, and the idea of selflessness which He proclaimed). We tend to disregard the origins and history of Christmas and as a result, we get caught up in the giving and the getting. This is not about forcing matters of personal belief upon anyone. I f s about coming in touch with the truth of the celebration of wrapping presents, kissing under the mistletoe, drinking eggnog, and especially spending quality time with brothers, sisters, closefriendsand fellow human beings. So try and take the time during this holiday to give someone a hug, reflect on the accomplishments of the past year, and remember the real reason for the season.

Koenig BUSINESS MANAGER Joyce Kolb NEWS EDITOR Tony Barton ON-LINE EDITOR Ty Carss FEATURE EDITOR John Loch TECH EDITOR Todd Federman PHOTO EDITOR David Taylor It's gettin' late... gotta say goodbye I couldn't think of a better way to end my tenure as editor of The Pride. As I sit here at 9:48 p.m. Tuesday night (5 hours behind schedule), I'm thinking about how I've managed to end this semester with a bang. I've been flamed to death on the campus Internet newsgroups and two students put together quite a nice piece of satire about this newspaper called "The Shame." Not bad. Part of a journalist's job is to not only support the community it serves, but to ruffle a few feathers here and there as well. After all, it is we journalists that are responsible for getting many discussions about controversial issues started in the first place. Those kinds of issues not encourage people to think, they help provide a check on the power structures and people that make society work. From our editorials this semester — from the infamous THE "chalking" to slamming the Associated Students for saying we are an "arm" of their organization — it is clear that the editorial staff has not been afraid to state its opinions, me included. I am proud of the stances we have taken this semester. The editorials you have found on these pages have been the most biting in The Pride's short three-year history. Many people on campus have indicated to me that they believe I am the sole person responsible for the content and production of this newspaper. I am here to tell you that is not so. This semester's newspaper boasted the largest and most eager group of reporters and editors ever. My thanks go to Tony Barton and Paul Hilker for being our most diligent news hounds. For thefirsttime, I wasn't writing all the news stories! To Ty Carss and Todd Federman, I thank them for getting The Pride on-line with an Internet edition. People as far away as Baton Rouge, La. have been reading our paper. My thanks iMt OMAN 5. also go to Dave Taylor, Trish Nagy, Oliver Hepp and John Wheeler for providing the highest-quality photographs ever. I applaud John Loch and Joyce Kolb for sticking with us even in the midst of horrible illness and deadline mishaps. To the rest of the staff, those who have stayed and those who have had to leave us, I thank all of you for your contributions. All of you provided a solid foundation and a tradition of excellence that will last for many years. Above all, I want to thank one person who never received much credit during the media blitz this paper received at the b eginning of t he semester. Mary Szterpakiewicz was The Pride'sfirsteditor, and without her hours of hard work from fall 1993 to fall 1994 this paper would not be here in thefirstplace. She had the enthusiasm and wherewithal to create an excellent newspaper, and I thank her for her constant news updates and information this semester. Finally, I want to thank the campus community as a whole,fromDr. Bill Stacy to the first freshman students. Without your readership and support, this paper would have no purpose. I ask all of you to keep reading next semester as a new editor takes the helm. The clock now reads 10:05 p.m. Writing this column is my last act as editor. Then it's on to one more final exam, and a new full-time job with the new North County Times. My best wishes got to everyone at this university, which I have proudly attended for three-and-a-half years.

Although Yogi Berra was not too bright a guy, he is more famous for his not-so-well-thoughtout quotes than his for his skills while playing ball (he is in the Hall of Fame). When asked if he wanted to dine at a particular restaurant, he refuse: "Nobody goes there anymore, it;s too crowded." Foe better of worse, such logic is not regulated solely to the private sector. At times, it seems as though Mr. Berra would fit right in with some of our elected officials in Washington D.C. Since it'sfinalsweek, and since no one wants to read anything that makes them think real hard, I figure why not let our public officials entertain (or rather frighten) you with some of their well-thought-out-logic?

Faculty and staff come together to honor CSUSan Marcosfounders By Paul Hilker Staff Writer Three years ago, a quilting project was begun as a memento recognizing the founding staff and students of Cal State San Marcos. On the quilt are over a hundred signatures of students, faculty and supporters who were involved in the establishment of the campus as an independent university. Interest in the project was inspired by a group of seven CSUSM staff members: History Advising Coordinator Leslie Zomalt, Housing Coordinator Tanis Brown, Human Resources Management Director Judy Taylor, Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Patricia Worden, Public Services Clerical Assistant Judith Dowine, Candice Van Dall of Admissions and Records, and Lora Coad, mm ' -7 -' i n - M M ?> -s • • Wwm, I S m § 1 ® ' m 1 Liberal Studies adviser. > Roman S .

The quilt's projectedfinishis next summer, according to Patricia Worden. She explained that, "The point of the project is to create a sense of community between faculty and students, at the same time giving homage to founding members of CSUSM." The group raised money for the Bree Tinney Scholarship Fund by charging $2 per signature. The quilt will be displayed on campus after its completion. The quilt project has also initiated creative spirit on campus, according to the quilters. Other groups like the tenants of the student housing complex and the staff of the College of Arts and Sciences have also adopted or completed quilt projects of their own.

The work, entitled "Shards From A Glass House," is part of an art display called "Common Ground: A Regional Exhibition" and is open to viewers until Feb. 11. The exhibit presents recent work by 18 San Diego-area artists. Avalos has been a member of the CSUSM faculty since 1991. His current research is being done on Chicano art in the border region. Since the 1970s Avalos's artwork has conveyed strong socio-political issues surrounding the plight of illegal immigrants and Mexican-American ancestry. He adds perspective and insight in the identity of the Mestizo and Chicano people through many different styles of art and exhibition. Avalos's research, which reflects boldly in his artwork and his courses, states that relating personal research and classroom instruction is a necessity. "Victor Rocha, the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, impressed upon the faculty that the research of professors be strictly related to their classroom instruction and dialog," Avalos explained. "So I've found a way to have my research facilitate my instruction." When asked what style of art he prefers to create, Avalos was reluctant to categorize himself as an artist who has a specific style. "As an artist, I am not defined as 'a painter' or 'a sculptor^ or 'photographer,'" he said. "My art is expressed in a wide variety of media such as computer art, poetry, hand-made objects and other things." What is it that distinguishes contemporary art from specialized art styles?

If so, then the latest addition to Ian Flemingis infamous James Bond series, "Goldeneye," di- rected by Martin Campbell, is the film to quench your thirst. Though it lacks depth, you should not be disappointed, for the very nature of a Bond film is to entertain the audience with mindless fun, not offer a greater insight into the human condition or the secterts of the universe. Delivering laughs and excitement, "Goldeneye" is quite simply a film to be enjoyed. As always, the stunts extend beyond the realm of reality, but why would we expect anything less from Britain's number one sectert agent 007? The most intriguing element of a Bond film is never whether he will succeed or fail (we already know that Bond always saves the day), but rather the way in which he will do it this time. With "Goldeneye," however, there is an even more important question on everyone's mind, for we all wantto know who the new guy is behind the gun! It's been ten long years since the rumors began that the debonair Pierce Brosnan was to be the next James Bond, and the wait is finally at an end!

It has the right mix of rockers and sensitive guy ballads. The first single, "War," is an awesome song getting much airplay on 91X . How can you not love a song that has a verse "We drank tequila and watched your Mom dance at the Bambi Club?" This is, of course, after your sister is complimented for making "me feel good last Christmas/ in your mom's station wagon behind 7-11." Next is "The Ballad of Tommy and Maria", which sort of reminds me of "Dick's Automotive" mated with "Natural Born Killers." After this is a song for the guys, a good excuse for the girlfriend let's-havesex-song called "Now's Not the Right Time for Love." "Suburbia" is about crazy, wacky, kooky life-in-suburbia (what a shocker). Officially closing the album is "Hangover", a song for the truck driver in all of us. There are two unlisted songs on the album. The first is for John Lentz and is caljed "Your Ghost". The album as a whole is also dedicated to Lentz, who was gunned down in Balboa Park on May 1,1994. It's a pretty depressing tribute to Lentz, who apparently was a big Rugburns fan.

Although Bond's world has evolved with the times (there is now an ironfisted female playing the role of M), he is still the same old 007 that we have grown to love, with his "cavalier attirude towards life" and that undeniable charm with ladies. Bond's notoriuos sexual antics, however, have not gone unchecked. Not only does his new boss refer to him as a "relic of the Cold War," she even goes so far as to call him a "sexist masogynist dinosaur." It seems that this time around Bond cannot even save the day without the help of his female companion, Natalya, played by Izabella Scorupco. Poor James. Could the man with the golden touch have finally met his match?! M is not the only woman reeking havoc in James's life though, for his new masochisitic adversary, Xenia Onatopp, played by Famke Janssse, does her fair shre of damage to Brosnan's perfect form. Despite the fact that Onatopp is pure evil (and, yes, that name is a little sexual innuendo Bond style), you can't help but be mesmerized by her enthusisam for the job. She is definitely one to look out for! Miramar Mornings!
