Early Learning Center Opens

from 2 -year-olds. The Early
^ ^^Learning Center opened its door
at 139 Gosnell Way b ehind t he San
Marcos Post Office on Twin Oaks, Valley Road to the young students and Jan
12. The center, sponsored by associated
student, offers child care for children
of CSUSM students as well as other in
the community.
It runs five sessions daily. The first
begins at 6:15 A.M. and the last one
ends at 6 PM. Prices range from $12.25
to $19.25 per day, roughly 2 0 percent
less than comparable day care centers.
Parent must commit to a minimum of
two days per week.
Financial a ssistance i s available,
h owever, t hrough c ommunity p rograms.
The goal of providing affordable
child care for students, staff, and faculty has been a dream ever since the
university admitted its first student in
1989. But translating that dream into
reality has been a slow process.
Creating a day care center was one
of Darlene Willis' first directives when
she took the job of executive director
of associated students. Much discussion had taken place on the best way to
establish the center, she discovered,
but little had been done.
Enter the Associated Students. With
$ 29,000 from its reserves, A.S. found
the existing child care center on Gosnell
Way, which w as o n the market, arranged to lease the building on a yearto-year basis.
"This A.S. board is to be commended
for its efforts," said Willis, adding that
25 percent of every dollar collected by
AS in student fees is allocated for day
care.
Prior to the center's conception 15 individual s cholarships of $ 500 were
given to students to offset the cost of
childcare. This money now will help
support the Early Learning Center.

said such a move will cost $1.5 million,
which includes building an access road

�Building 15 weathers storms
B Y RICHARD M AUSER
m ^ 1 Nino who? The recent spate of
H storms that roared through the county
1 Jfailed to delay the scheduled opening
of the university's Building 15.
The building, tentatively named International Hall, still is scheduled to open in
mid-August for the fall semester classes.
The storms also failed to dampen the
spirits of school officials, who are eagerly anticipating the extra space Building 15 will provide to the cramped university.
"We're looking forward to the future.
The weather hasn't pushed us off our summer occupancy," said Russ Decker, CSUSM's
director of Planning, Design and Construction.
According to Decker, the 7 1,000square-foot building will accommodate
1,000-1,200 students, and will contain four
new computer labs, a foreign language lab and
two broadcast rooms.
It also will house faculty offices for
the College of Education and the departments
of psychology, computer science and foreign
language.The only weather-related problems
for the building this semester have been minor, according to Bob Boyer, construction su-
still on schedule
perintendent. Rain, for example, delayed fabrication of the concrete panels that make up the
exterior walls of the building, which set the final
completion date back about two weeks, from
June 24 to mid-July.
But Decker said the mid-August grand
opening would not be affected.
The walls on the three-story, rear section of Building 15 are in place and about 3 0 percent of the roof has been finished. Boyer said he
the entire roof should be in place, and the rear
section watertight, by the middle of February.
The four-story,frontsection is still without walls, but Boyer said he hopes they will be
up by the beginning of March. Once the walls
are finished, the roof on thefrontsection should
be completed within two weeks.
What if El Nino continues its current
rampage?
"We're keeping an eye out, but we have
plans to handle it," Decker said.
The IR plans include making up lost
time by accelerating work on the interior of the
building (which is already ahead of schedule),
and possibly moving some of the faculty and
equipment into the rear section of the building
while the front is finished, he added.
Independent study courses leave students hanging
B Y JENIFER J AFFE
T"
ast month a the SMART
system surprised a hand
JL-Jful of students on campus when it informed them
they would receive credit or nocredit, instead of a letter grade,
for winter term independent
study classes.
Debbie Holderby, a literature and writing major, was
among the students who didn't
realize that literature and writing independent study courses
are now designated as credit/
no-credit according to t he
CSUSM 9 7-98 catalog, she#
said.
After listening to the
SMART system, Holderby remarked that she thought the
course she paid over $ 300.00
for was useless.
According to both the
CSUSM 96-97, and the 97-98
catalogs, students working towards a Bachelor of Arts in literature and writing studies
cannot take a course required
for their major c redit/nocredit.

on't turn the corner too fast because you could
l niss it.
Maybe you've noticed Power Surge Cafe as
you've passed the intersection of Barham and Twin
Oaks Drive on your way to school. But more and more
CSUSM students are finding that it's worth more than
a look.
Better yet, many say, they're discovering that
it's a place of their own.
Owner Mark DuBois understands. He graduated from CSUSM himself two years ago. "I feel a
resposibility to give some of that back to the community." says Dubois. "I feel like I owe the university a
huge debt because my education was so incredible.
The instructors really care about you as a person and
don't look at you as a number."
As a result, Dubois has offered his cafe as a
venue for several university activities, " We're starting to do local music on Friday night," he says. "On
March 23, one of the literature and writing classes is
going to be performing poetry at noon."
Adds employee Rachel Harris: "You see
people who are so psyched to be here and so excited
about how it's going to change. Hey, this is going to
be really cool. There's great ideas and people.
"There's really nothing else in this whole college area. Just to have a home base where students

or SDSU%the?fact that
it is small and more intimate. This place is so North
County."
"There's a different feel. San Marcos has culture. This is just another extension of that."
With a view of the college and nearby location, Harris says, "We're building the foundations for
the college area."
.
CSUSM teachers also are finding a home at
Power Surge. "The faculty has been so supportive,"
DuBois says. "They've had all kinds of meetings down
v
WmNwm*
here: Administration, Counseling, Financial Aid. To
me, the neat thing is that it's a mixing ground between
the university and community. Our customers are
truckers, cab drivers, students and homemakers."
For students who find the choice between the
bustle and noise of the university cafeteria and the
dark quietude of the library equally uninspiring,
Power Surge Cafe offers an atmosphere fall of daylight and a unique decorative style. A large antique
map of the world and other paintings, including a
modern work by a CSUSM student, adorn the walls.
Employees bring their own CDs to provide
background music. "We don't just want to get you in,
then get you out," Harris says.
Power Surge will soon open an adjoining
room that will house six computers, providing
Internet access to interested students. The $6 price
per hour is half of what Kinko's and other cyber cafes
charge.
Power Surge offers a full espresso bar and reasonably priced coffee (75 cents, $1 and $1.25), plus
lunch deals with quality meats and cheeses ($3 for a
sandwich, chips and pickle).
It also offers quiches and lunch croissants
with ham and cheese or turkey and feta. A variety of
pastries includes standbys such as cinnamon rolls and
various croissants and more unique selections, such
. as th^-'Mogkey Bar" (banana and chocolate chip),
cappuccmoiar, chocolate wipetfut cake and white
chocolate raspberry cheesecake.
For breakfast eaters not into sweets, there's
cereal with milk ($1.50) and juice. Fresh smoothies
will be on the menu soon, DuBois says.
"We're trying to keep our prices down to cater to students," says Harris. "A lot of us here are students. We know how hard it is."
Power Surge is open weekdays from 7 a.m. to
9 p.m., Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays
from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

School mascot simply misunderstood
A number of people on campus know that the
/ \ university mascot is a tukwut. But, not many
JL JLknow what a tukwut is.
And even fewer know how to pronounce it. The
CSUSM logo provides the best hint, and, as most
people suspect when they see it, a tukwut is indeed a
mountain lion.In a recent random survey on campus,
few knew anything more, other than it was an Indian
term.
Most pronouriced it in either of two ways: "too cute"
and "tuck qwat."Where did it come from? Like a lot
of terms, from the Indians.According to a brief but
interesting history prepared by Mark A. Macarro,
tukwut... pronounced "took woot" ... is a Luisen~o
Indian term for the California mountain lion.
The Luisen~o tribe, or Payomkawichum, as its
members call themselves, originally inhibited the area
along the Southern California coast from Encinitas
to Las Flores in Camp Pendleton and inland to
Palomar Mountain and southwest Riverside County.
B Y R EBECCA W A R N E
The Luisen~o believe that they have lived in the
region since the beginning of time.
Their history records l ife beginning in the
Temucula Valley long before the Spanish land grant
settlers.
When CSUSM was founded, an elder of the tribe
was consulted to help select the mascot... partially to
honor the indigenous people of the region but also in
keeping with the university's commitment to diversity.
�Alternative grading system
could benefit students and
teachers alike
B Y LESLIE P EARNE

¥ Y grades? What if students were measured by detailed, written evaluations that
explained strengths and weaknesses and specified goals that
must be met?
That might make a lot
of students happy. Indeed, a
number of CSUSM s tudents
indicate that the present system of letter grades isn't necessarily what they prefer.
Rya Anderson, a senior
majoring in Liberal Studies,
s aid s he w ould w elcome
CSUSM's adopting a writtenevaluation g rading s ystem.
"That's good, because s ometimes students put a lot of e ffort into a class, but have low
test scores. If the effort goes
unnoticed, then t he grade i s
based on the numbers," s he
added.
Diane Nesser, a senior
majoring in Literature and
Writing, said she'd like a better explanation of how she performed in a class than a letter
grade provides. "Feedback allows one to look back o n their
strengths and weaknesses. It
also explains why one may receive a plus or minus, instead
of a straight B or C," she added.
UC-Santa Cruz, which
u ses t he w ritten-evaluation
grading method, is now in the
process of changing it to a dual
procedure. Students will receive letter grades, necessary
for transferring and/or graduate school applications, along
with the written evaluation.
Both students and professors
have commented that the system gives the university more
of a low-pressure, less competitive e nvironment, b ecause
there is no GPA.
Dr. L eslie Z omalt,
CSUSM's coordinator of advising, called the written-evaluation process "very difficult,"
because it's hard to convert to
such an assessment at a university t hat s olely u ses l etter
g rades. "This i s n ot t o t he
student's advantage, especially
w hen a pplying t o g raduate
schools," she added.
Many administrators
say implementing a new grading process is overly time-consuming. But, Dr. Sue Fellows,
a professor in the Literature
a nd W riting D epartment
counters that it can be accomplished in a less laborious manner.
"During the first week
of the semester, students and
professors should have
conferences," she suggests.
"No actual class meetings."
"This would allow for
students to fully understand
what is expected from them
and what they can expect from
the professor."
Fellows says student/
professor communication can
be strengthened by the written
evaluation, and adds, "Written
evaluations are a more personalized and d etailed way t o
grade."
Michael Stary, a
graduate student in Literature
and Writing, said he would like
to see CSUSM adopt a system
similar to UC-Santa Cruz's proposed two-step method. "Written evaluations would work
h ere b ecause t hey work at
UCSC. We could model a process after theirs," he added. "It
is hard for graduate programs
to determine your background
when applying and a written
evaluation would give a detailed explanation on your academic career."
CSUSM
o fficials
stressed that there are no plans
in the works for changing the
current grading system, but
pointed out that the nine-year
university is still young, offering students the opportunity to
help mold and shape it in the
future.

Program Director
B Y S COTT B ASS
A student oriented professor, in
L A tellectually true to herself, and
JL> JLa h appy c itizen on c ampus.
Sound too good to be true? Meet Dr.
Renee Curry, who became program director for the Literature and Writing
D epartment at
the beginning of
the spring semester. Her duties include developing
a
s chedule,
matching faculty
e xpertise w ith
that s chedule
and working with
the Dean to fine
tune any administrative b umps
in the road.
Curry,
who has worked
in Literature and
Writing for seven
years, s aid s he
w elcomed t he
opportunity to
be involved in the
a dministrative
s ide of t he d epartment. "My career is set up so that I
never have to choose something awful,"
she said. "My choices are something
wonderful A or something wonderful
B."
Directorship of the department is
rotated generally every two or three
years. Curry t ook over f rom Ken
Mendoza. aI really believe in the democratic system," she said. "I really believe
in turn-taking, and after seven years it
is more than my turn."
As a result of student feedback and
a story in the Pride last semester, Curry
said s he p lans t o build more night
classes into the Literature and Writing
schedule.
She stressed that the department
has an open-door policy that encourages student involvement. "The advisors, Lora Coad and Leslie Zomalt, let
us know what the students want," she
added. "One of the ways we can tell, for
instance, i s by the courses that get
crashed. Typically, students end up in

at a particular time. The advising folks
let us know."
Curry h as
two areas of focus in the coming months. The
first is to get the
fall 1998 schedule in order. "My
goal is to provide
desired courses
and course times
so that Lit-Writing students can
get t heir d egrees," she emphasized.
The other is
to
provide
mentoring, for
the department's
professors. "The
amount of paperwork t hat
p rofessors s ift
through is mindnumbing," she said, adding that she
hopes to help guide them into desired
grants and research areas.
Curry said she is proud of the students in the department. "Lit-writing
students love to read," she said. "We are
the only people left on the planet who
on any given weekday take time to ourselves to read." Lit-writing students are
the last remaining vestige of what it really means to be a true intellectual...
which is to read.
As soon as we give up reading, that
to me, is going to be the beginning of
the end of a type of intellectualism.
"Not that there aren't other types.
I'm heavily involved in technology and
computers.
But I think that if we give up reading, something very important will be
gone. Lit-writing students refuse to
give that up."

hopes to attract funding from local charitable
groups as well.
The center has seven classrooms for
children between the ages of 2 to Kindergarten.
It is licensed to care for up to 52 kids at a time.
Its staff of nine ranges in experiencefromseven
to 17 years. The student-teacher ratio is about 7
to 1 for 2-year-olds and 10 or 12 to 1 for the older
children.
Linda Conde, a native Californian,
moved back to the state to take the position of
center director.
As a teacher at a community college in
Florida, she made a presentation on school
readiness at a conference of the National Association of Educators of Young Children
(NAEYC) in Anaheim when she learned of the
CSUSM position.
Conde, who has 2 0 years experience
and a masters degree in Early Childhood from
the University of San Francisco, is also a former
educational coordinator for the federal Head
Start program.
Conde says she is proud that her staff s
qualifications exceed those mandated by the
California State Matrix.
Conde said a typical day at the center
"varies between active and quiet play." Sharing, music stories, painting and puppets are just
a few of the activities. There is also naptime or
quiet time for those who don't nap.
Conde has many goals for the center.
She hopes to get involved in the state-funded
food program to help parents with low incomes.
Currently, parents are required to
pack a lunch for their children. She also wants
to take the center through the NAEYC's training program, which she calls an "exemplary"
effort involving both teachers and parents.
Because the center was an existing
facility, many of its children have no ties to
the university. Conde said she hopes to increase the number of university families there from the present 38 percent to more than 50
percent.
Conde said she also would like to involve the campus community as much as possible with the center, and is hoping for support from student organizations. Plans are
underway for a VIP readers day with faculty
selecting books and reading to the children.
The Psychology Department has expressed interest in utilizing the center to give
its students an opportunity to observe and
learn about early child development.
Interested parents should call Conde
at (760) 7 45-4999 for more information.
Availability is limited, but Conde said every
effort will be made to accommodate students.
In the meantime, plans have been made to
paint the inside of the center on Feb. 28. Anyone wishing to volunteer his or her services
should contact Associated Students.

the fewer classes you'll miss,
the smarter you'll be,

from other California campuses ... Cal
Poly Pomona, UCSD and San Diego
State," said Mitchell. "We visited other
n ew c ampus h ousing p rojects at
Pepperdine and Loyola Marymount.
We were able to see them even before
the students had moved in. Review
plans were submitted." The recommendations submitted called for a non-traditional approach to campus housing.
According to Mitchell, students today
prefer more privacy and would like
single rooms. They also would prefer
small private bathrooms as opposed to
the communal shower rooms that are
standard in most dorms." The trend favors suites or apartments," Mitchell
said. "We would initially start out with
3 00-400 beds."
Until then, there are the Islands, an
apartment complex in San Marcos leasing 23 units to the school under a special agreement. Students pay user fees
to the housing office, which in turn pays
their rent, utilities, and provides furniture. Some 8 0 students currently live
there, with most sharing a bedroom
with another s tudent. Mitchell acknowledges that the arrangement is
somewhat untraditional, saying, "I
think we have to realize that it's not the
ideal situation. It's temporary and that's
the way it was meant to be.
We have tried to make it as close to
traditional campus housing as possible.
But they share the complex with tenants who are not students. The apartments are in close proximity to each
other, but it's not like we have our own
area." The target date for on-campus
housing remains elusive. The most significant roadblock is funding. Housing
programs are required to be self-supporting and generally do not receive
funds from the school.
The user fees collected from the Islands students pay a portion of her
office's budget, Mitchell says, adding,
"The salaries of t he three f ull-time
housing staffers is supported by the
state. We probably need a minimum of
250 students to kick off our own housing program."
>
And Mitchell believes that the interest level will be sufficient to make on-
campus h ousing viable w ithin f ive
years.
As the campus grows in enrollment,
Mitchell expects the most interest from
first-year students, easily the largest
group on campus at 6 0 percent of the
student population. The second largest
student group, transfer students, would
likely be interested as well. "On campus
housing serves as a transition for new
students to the university," Mitchell
said. "Research over the last 20 years
shows that students who live in university housing for at least their first year
have higher grades, are more likely to
on to graduate school, are more likely
to graduate in less time than those living off campus, and will be more likely
to enjoy their college experience."
Mitchell said the presence of on-campus housing will change the environment of the university as well. A residential program would make the university central to a student's life. "That's
particularly tough on this campus because we are still very young," she said."
We don't have a student union.
There are no ideal places for students
to hang out on campus. It's part of the
educational experience to network with
and support other students who are like
minded. It's a place to develop as a person, socially and educationally. It's a
great place to learn how to get along
with people different from themselves."
On-campus housing also adds the
benefit of attracting out-of-town students. It's a matter of convenience, according to Mitchell.
Students would be able to live in a
safe familiar environment rather than
search for housing in strange, unfamiliar communities. But she also hopes
that on-campus housing will appeal to
local students, too.
Anticipated fees are impossible to
predict at this stage. Seemingly they
would have to help defray the cost of
the land, construction and, later, upkeep and maintenance of the buildings.
Mitchell said she cannot predict
whether fees would be comparable to
those paid by students at the Islands,
but added, "Our goal is to have housing
at the best possible price for students."

What
exactly
is the
Arts &
Lectu re
series?
B Y D EBBIE H OLDERBY
T ^ I ducation through the s enses.
M That's the goal of CSUSM's Arts
JL-jf& Lecture Series.
Far from being just entertainment, the series is a learning experience as well. It o ffers e vents h ighlighting artists, performers and lecturers in all disciplines. "It's not just
art," says Bonnie
Biggs, assistant to the dean of Library
Services and coordinator for the s eries.
The lectures seek to "link the
d isciplines, including m athematics
and psychology," s he said, adding,
"The adventure of discovery should
involve more than books."
This semester, the series will
offer 3 0 events, ranging from an AIDS
documentary on Feb. 2 3 t o m usic
from Zydeco Blues Patrol in April. On
March 4, it will feature works from
artists Renee Cox and Yong Soon Min,
which, Biggs said, "have been viewed
as somewhat controversial."
She added, "A lot of the faculty see the events as an opportunity
to enhance instruction," explaining
that some members often bring their
classes to the performances and lectures.
After t he p resentations, 7 0
percent of the artists and lecturers
visit classrooms, Biggs said, to "interact with the students one-on- one."
T he CSUSM f aculty i s i nvolved in the selection process, said
Biggs, and some of the events in the
Arts & Lecture Series are sponsored
in p artnership w ith t he California
Center for the Arts, Eseondido. The
artists and lecturers often give presentations at the Eseondido Center as
well as the university.
The events are open to the
public.

�Bells and Whistles "Sidetracked in
the Library"
B Y DEBBIE HOLDERBY
I
n college, the brain gets a workout.
But what about the five senses?
An ongoing art exhibit in the
CSUSM. Library, "Bells and Whistles
Sidetracked in the Library," seeks to
engage a visitor's senses through visual,
kinesthetic and aural interaction.
The artists of the exhibit, Richard Keely and Anna O'Cain, o pened
their collaborative project on Friday
Feb 7.0'Cain is a professor in CSUSM's
V isual
a nd
P erforming
A rts
Department.One part of the exhibit features a curtained box that invites visitors inside. Once there, they may peer
t hrough p eepholes, v iewing t he
library's activities.
In another area of the library,
the exhibit presents a colorful wall of
sound and texture, extending the experience beyond the visual to include tactile sense and hearing. Visitors can create their own experiences.
The exhibit was specifically designed for the campus library. "The library is a place people normally only
think about research and studying,"
said Bonnie Biggs, assistant to the dean
for Library Services. "Discovery should
be on all levels, including the senses."
The art exhibit is currently on display
through March 27.

arena for the most cutting-edge performance art in San Diego. But, for a space
called 6 @ Penn, it works.
Located at the corner at Sixth
and Pennsylvania Ave. in the heart of
Hillcrest, this 1 00-seat performance
space i s the temporary home of some
of the most innovative and entertaining theater pieces and performance art
in the county. And its latest offering,
Rob Nash's "Freshman Year Sucks!" is
no exception.
A veteran of regional theatre,
Nash turns his comic eye to the life of
three soon-to-be friends as they enter
freshman year of Jesuit high school in
H ouston. N ash, a n ative of A ustin,
Texas, who also wrote the show, portrays the three "nonconformists"... Ben,
George and Johnny.
At the piece's outset, J ohnny
befriends Ben and George (whom he
deems "chick repellant") after moving
t o t he a ffluent s ection of H ouston
known as River Oaks from Iowa City.
We then f ollow t he trio through the
lives, loves and heartaches of freshman
year.
J ohnny i s t he-rough-and
tumble outcast, a modern-day James
Dean. And his two friends are the exact
o pposite, Ben i s t he meek o ne w ho
questions his sexuality and thinks he's
falling for Johnny's girl, Maria. George's
sexuality is still in question, though he
has a senior-size crush on his wanton
tutor.
As the work progresses, Ben
finds a soul mate (though not a sexual
one) in Maria and the tutor wants nothing extra-curricular with pupil George.
What sets this coming of age
(and coming out) tale apart from the
others of its ilk is that Nash portrays all
the characters, an amazing 26. From the
three friends and the objects of their
desire (male and female) to
parents, teachers and school administrators, Nash carries them all. And he
does it extraordinarily well.
His words are not carried out

Though it may seem impossible to get out of town if you have only
one day a week off, but it isn't. Nor does
it need to put you in debt.
If you like snow sports, or want
to learn about them, good times are
about two hours away at three resorts
at Big Bear Lake. Snow Valley, Snow
Summit and Bear Mountain each have
something to offer.
The best mountain for any kind
of downhill gliding depends on your
experience, and your wallet.
At Snow Valley; an all-day,
adult lift ticket costs $34. Students and
military pay $ 30 for all-day tickets; children 6 to 9, $9; and seniors (over 70)
and children under 6 ski free.
For beginners, both skiing and
snowboarding packages are available.
The beginning ski package includes
boots, skis and lesson f or $39. The beginning snowboard package is $49, and
includes boots, board and lesson. Snow
Valley h as a s nowboard park w ith
jumps for all levels, and a skateboard
park
The second resort, Snow Summit, has been bombarding the public
with radio and billboard advertisements. Lift t ickets there have g one
down $12 since last season, something
that doesn't happen often. An adult, allday ticket costs $ 32, while children
from 7 to 12 pay $10 and children under 6 are free with a paying adult.
If you finish before 1 p.m., you
can turn in your ticket for a voucher
toward your next time. Night skiing and
snowboarding ( $24 per adult and $ 8
per child) is also available, as well as
packages for snowboarders and beginI nor skiers ($65, which includes all rentals, lift ticket and four hours of lessons).
Snow Summit is known for its
snowboard park, the largest in Southern California. Tickets for the resort can
b e bought at any Ticket-Master location.
If y ou make t here b efore
March, you can get an all-day lift ticket
the third resort, Bear Mountain, for $29
Monday through Friday.
That price jumps to $ 42 on
March 1, but 13- to 22-year-olds will pay
only $32, and those 6 to 12, $10. Halfday skiing, starting at 12:30 p.m., costs
$ 28 for adults and $25 for those 13 to
22. You also can turn in a full day ticket
before 12:30 P.M. and receive a voucher
for your next visit.
I ntroductory s kiing and
snowboarding packages are available
for $45 and $50, respectively, including lower mountain lift ticket, rentals
and l esson. The Bear Mountain
snowboard park has many new jumps
and a new permanent boardercross.
Tickets for Bear Mountain can
be purchased at the ticket office and at
manyVons stores.
Bringing your own lunch to the
resorts can save both money and time,
since lunchtime in the lodges is hectic
and expensive.
Rentals are available at each
mountain, and in several surf shops in
North County as well. Group rates
(more than 2 0 people) also are available at all three. .
B Y M ICHAEL
M g Bureaucracy—one n ever
m r a knows when it will strike.
Since the majority of
students at CSUSM combine
work with school, if not also
parenthood, most of us can relate to the
necessity of a class schedule that works
well with all the other aspects of our
lives.
I know I'm like that. I work
Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays,
leaving Tuesday and Thursdays only for
the classes I need to graduate in may.
But, when I entered my second
class thatfirstTuesday, it was a bit worrisome: There were only four students
in all, and the university's tentative
minimum is twelve. It turns out my
fears were justified.
On the second Tuesday, the
professor informed us that the class was
cancelled. It was a senior-oriented
class, and a least two of us needed it to
graduate. Crashing a class in the second week is a very uncertain situation.
So we were quite worried.
But, there was hope. The professor said we could take the class as an
independent study. But, since she was
unsure of all the fine points, we went to
the d$par£nent head to work it put.
Once there, we were told that
we indeed could take the class as an independent study, but only on a credit/
no credit basis. Never having taken a
such a class, I had no problem with this.
Then came the catch: The department h ead i nformed u s that a
credit/no credit class couldn't count
toward your major. This was very bad,
since I needed an elective in my major
in order to graduate. There was no point
to taking the class if it wouldn't count
toward my major.
We asked if there was anyone
else we could talk to who might have
the power to provide some relief. We
were given the name and number of an
administrator and told to call and make
an appointment. But this was Tuesday,
and the add deadline was in three days.
We might not be able to even get to see
the administrator in time.
We asked the department head
if we could get special consideration if
we tried to crash a class, since ours was
canceled and we were graduating seniors. We were told that was up to the
individual professor, and we should
plead our case ourselves.
I found a few electives that fit
my schedule but learned they were full,
leaving me with the choice of quitting
my job or attending summer school.
It was in this hopeless state that
I thought of talking to my counselor,
Laura Coad. On two previous occasions,
she had clarified and focused my academic life. But I had my doubts whether
even she could save me this time.
She said she would talk to the
department head. An hotir or so later,
after my next class, I returned and she
waved me in.
"You're fine,'' she said. "You
can take the class credit/no credit and
graduate."
That was it. I had gone from a
brick wall to a yellow brick road.
I found it hard to believe, but I
told my professor and she told me to
meet her on Thursday to work out the
independent study. Two other students
and I met with her and returned to the
s ame d epartmeent h ead w ith our
IndependentStudy forms.
As she signed them, she explained that because we were on a different catalogue year we were exempt
from the policy. It occurred to me that
most seniors would be on a different
catalogue year than the present one.-1
don't think too many students transfer
colleges in their senior year. Though
curious why this hadn't been apparent
two days prior, I was happy to have my
original schedule back.
It just proves that you have to
be careful what you accept as the truth
... especially in a bureaucracy.

Literature and writing majors hope
for more night-school options

will change jobs, appeal to employers for more flexible hours, leave CSUSM
temporarily, take non-major courses and
hope more classes will be offered in the fall.
The College of Literature and Writing
(LTWR) has scheduled three classes after 6
PM this spring, but two of them are on the
same night and none are core classes. One
is a 500 class oriented toward those who
want to teach writing.
"I couldn't believe there are so few
classes in my major. It's atrocious. The fulltime worker who is a part-time student has
been let down," said Sharon Hambly, who
has attended CSUSM for 2 years and has
only major classes left to complete.
Hambly enrolled in one LTWR class and a
children's literature course offered through
the College of Education next semester.
"Tuition is the same for one or two classes,
so I elected to take a class that will not apply
to my major. It is of interest to me, at least,"
she explained.
Professor Kenneth Mendoza, program director, said that a fourth course was proposed, but there was no room available with
the equipment needed for the class.
"We recognize the difficulty working students have in taking courses, however, the
Literature and Writing Studies Program must
ensure that we have the best faculty available to teach our courses, and we must ensure that we fill enrollments in all classes,"
he said.
In the past, Mendoza said, the program
has had to cancel several evening classes
because of poor enrollment. "In these situations, if the faculty member is an adjunct
professor, they lose a teaching position and
students lose a class," he added.
John Rodriguez, another LTWR major, said
he is waiting to get laid off from his job so he
can complete his required courses during
the day. He has been a night-school student
on and off for four years. "Cal State San
Marcos has abandoned the night school
student they originally encouraged to attend," Rodriguez said.
Junior Laura Hopkins will enroll at Palomar
College because of the limited classes available at CSUSM. "It's disappointing, but I'll
take this opportunity to complete a lowerdivision requirement," she said.
John Picha, who works full-time, has one
required class remaining to complete his
degree. But he won't be able to do it next
semester, because it isn't offered at night.
He plans to take a class or two and wait until
he can get the class he needs.
"I like this school because it's small and
close by. The size of the school probably
has a lot to do with the scheduling problems," he suggests.

requires faculty members who are available
to teach evening courses and also a significant population of students to fill those
courses," he added.
That doesn't help junior Betsy Miltmore,
however. "By next semester, I'll be a poor,
starving student," she said.
She is unable to fulfill the requirements of
the LTWR major with the present night
classes offered. "I've decided to quit my fulltime job and look for another offering fewer,
more flexible hours," she said, adding that
the most popular classes in her major are
offered only during the day.
The greatest hope for night school students is larger enrollment, according to
Mendoza. "We do have a commitment to
serve our entire student population.
As our program grows, both in faculty
and working students, we will be able to offer more evening, and perhaps even weekend, courses," he said.

looks a commanding view of churned
J L earth, half-completed buildings and a
broad expanse of undeveloped property. The symbolism is
hard to miss. It is like an unfinished portrait awaiting its
final brush strokes.
But Dr. Alexander Gonzalez, CSUSM's dynamic
interim president, is painting that canvas with his vision
for the university's focus direction, and future. Gonzalez
met with the Pride last week to discuss his first semester in
office and his vision for creating an identity for GSUSM.
His office, a reflection of the man, is well appointed but still efficient and organized. And though his
shirtsleeves weren't rolled up, his loosened tie and a dress
shirt had lost its crispness to the workday fit the image of
a hands-on administrator.
He answered questions with an openness and
frankness that exuded confidence in himself and his abilities to get the job done. The first order of business was
defining his role in the campus hierarchy.
"I'm the leader of the university. I'm the boss.
I'm responsible for everything," he said.

degree to be eligible. Neither of
these tax credits can be applied for
summer or winter sessions.
Both HOPE and Lifetime Learning were designed to help middleincome students who are not eligible for financial aid or other taxfree educational assistance.
There is a maximum income level
requirement for eligibility in both
programs whirh will phagpH in
gradually.
Eventually, 12.9 million students
are expected to benefit from the
two tax credits. CSUSM will not
notify students about eligibility for
either tax credit.
Students must initiate them.
Phillips and Ojeda suspect that a
form similar to the present W-2 will
be sent to students explaining more
about the process.
But because next year will be the
first time that the tax credits are
implemented, not much more information about either is available yet.
Although the Tax Relief Act of
1997 is basically designed for future students, it also offers a break
for those who are about to graduate and are worried about paying
back student loans.
"Any interest paid on a student
loan on or after Jan. 1,1998, is deductible, as long as the student is
in the first five years of his or her
payments," Phillips said.
The Tax Relief Act also has a
break for those who are not old
enough to attend college as yet. It
will be possible, starting Jan. 1, to
create Education Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) for any child
under 18. Contributions are limited to $500 a year, and earnings in
the Education IRA will accumulate
tax-free, and no tax due upon withdrawal provided the money is used
to pay for post-secondary tuition
and fees.But students receiving
grants, scholarships, or other taxfree educational assistance are ineligible f or this b enefit.

f you're a first- or second-year
college student paying your
own tuition, you may qualify
for a new tax credit next year,
but only if you wait until after Jan.
1 to pay your tuition.
The tax credit is available under
the HOPE scholarship program,
which is part of the Tax Relief Act
of 1997, which becomes effective
on Jan. 1,1998. Here's how it works:
If you're enrolled in 6 or more
units, working towards a degree,
pay your own tuition and are in the
first two years of your education,
you may qualify for the HOPE tax
credit.
According to Paul Phillips,
CSUSM director of Financial Aid
and Scholarships, such a credit is
a dollar-for-dollar deduction. "It is
the best form of tax break," he
adds. Students who qualify will
receive a 100 percent tax credit for
their first $1,000 of tuition and required fees, and a 50 percent credit
on their second $1,000.
But only those payments made
on or after Jan. 1 count. So, if a
student pays $1,600 in tuition and
fees in 1998, he or she would receive a tax break of $1,300 on the
taxes due April 15,1999.
Michele Ojeda, supervisor of Financial Aid Accounting, stressed
students who receive any kind of
scholarship or grant cannot qualify
for HOPE. "You have to pay your
own fees out of pocket to benefit
from HOPE credit," Ojeda adds.
There is also some new tax relief
for those students who have been
in school for more than two years
and who do not qualify for HOPE.
It's the Lifetime Learning tax credit,
a 20 percent deduction the first
$5,000 of tuition and required fees
paid each year through 2002, and
for the first $10,000 thereafter. It
applies to payments made on or
after July 1,1998.
But, like HOPE, to be eligible for
Lifetime Learning, students must
be paying their own tuition. Unlike
HOPE, however, there is no time

which draws $48,000 per year

assistant vice president of Administrative Services at CSUSM.
She added that copy machines
have been strategically placed
throughout campus, including in
the library, computer lab and career center.
Since CSUSM already has a
copy service, she added, stu-
dents and administration need to
do "what we can to make it
w ork."
The goal, she said, is to make
the copy center self-supporting
within two years.
Of five students randomly
polled in Founders Plaza, only
one had heard of the copy center, which is in the new one-story
building next to the faculty and
staff parking lot.
"I read something about it at
orientation," the student, a 21-
year-old psychology major, said.
"But i sn't it for faculty only?"
An employee at the copy center s aid, " Students have been
coming to us f or years. A lot of
students know about us."
She also said the center usually advertises in the Pride at the
start of each semester, but "since
there was not an editor, we didn't
this time."
The Pride, though, indeed has
had an editor and a business manager the entire semester.

tarting in the fall of 1995, I began my educa
« tional experience at CSUSM. I would have to
^ ^ ^ ^ say that, as a communication major, it was a
a ^ ^ difficult journey. Difficult? Well, for starters, the
communications department did not even exist
back then. In the beginning, I had to declare my major as
Liberal Arts. I was told that, within the next year, communications courses would be available, at which point I could
change my major.
This turned out not to be the case. Though, by the Fall
1996 semester there were four communications classes on
the schedule and I signed up for all four, three of them were
canceled two weeks prior to the semester start. Supposedly,
this was because the university did not have enough professors.
Although greatly inconvenienced, I managed to get into
a couple of sociology and psychology classes that eventually were acceptable for a communications major.
I feel I lost some of the education I would have received if
the department had been up and running sooner.
In addition to the sociology and psychology classes, I
had to complete six units of Independent Studies in order to
graduate this semester. Why?
Because, again, the classes I needed last semester were
could come to the campus once a week and have an eightweek semester or eight-week course. They could go yearround with one course rather than two semesters at two
courses each. Those are the kind of things that we need to
do here and I think we're starting to do that."
Gonzalez firmly believes that San Marcos will
have no problem gaining full Accreditation, "I don't really think that it's an issue. I think that by the time that I
leave here in two years, and we're actually going through
the visit, there shouldn't be any problem with the standards by which we judge institutions," he said.
Gonzalez noted that in time he would like to see
students become more than just customers. Those who
maintain a "get-in, get-out" attitude, he added, "are coming to the university for the wrong reasons. We need to
shift the focus from teaching to learning, move it from the
faculty member to the student. That's not to take anything
away from the faculty, but make the faculty less responsible for the teaching part of it and make the student more
responsible for the learning part of it."
not available.
But, I also feel that the struggles have made me stronger
The Independent Studies program, is an excellent way to
acquire hands-on experience with media analysis. I recommend it highly.
Today, the Communications Department is finally up and
running. Although there are not nearly as many communications majors as hoped, the classes grow a little bigger
each semester. Some new professors have been hired: helping to make the program more diversified.
Bud Morris was hired as head of the department this fall
He is a welcome addition. So, too, is Professor Lora Coad,
who has helped show many students the path to graduation. Many would have gotten lost without her help.
It's nice in one way to belong to a department that is fairly
small. For the most part, we communications majors have
become good friends. Whereas the business and liberal arts
departments have hundreds of students, the Communications Department is more like an extended family. Anywhere
from 5 tol 5 of us often get together to talk about how we're
going to get through the semester. It's a strong bond.
This semester, too, I was able to sign up for a full load of
classes in my major. It appears that next semester will be
even more promising. Although many of the classes overlap, several new types are being added.
When I began 2 years ago, there wasn't a single communications class. Many of my peers thought I was out of my
mind to think I could graduate with a communications degree. Well, I did it, and others will follow suit in the spring
Professor Coad once asked me how it felt to be a "pioneer." At the time, I told her I wasn't interested in being one
since I just wanted to graduate.
But, now that I look back, I do feel pretty 'pioneerish.
And, guess what? It isn't that bad.
Within my time here, I have seen the school grow tremen
dously. There are more students than ever this semester,
freshmen and sophomores, but also less available parking
spaces. Buildings are being constructed to make room for
next spring's new arrivals. I'm happy to say that I will not be
here to have to make room for them.
My final thoughts are simple: When I return in years to
come to see how the school has grown, I ask only one small
favor: PLEASE BIUBLD MORE PARKING LOTS!

'Severe' hate
crimes on the rise
B Y S HARON H AMBLY

#^
lthough hate crimes are down recently in San
Diego County, the severity of such attacks
has increased and they continue to be com
mitted most frequently by young individu
- JL
- MLals, according to a new county report.
The report by the San Diego City and County Hate Crimes
Registry is based on 123 verified offenses reported by county
law enforcement agencies between December 1995 and December 1996.
Gayle Falkenthal, public affairs director at the San Diego
District Attorney's office, said, "Hate crimes are a young
crime for both the defendants and the victims. At least this
is what all the statistics show. This is very surprising be-
cause with all the culture and diversity exposure today, it
should be less. But hate crimes mostly affect those under 21
years of age."
The annual report also said that the younger the assailants, the more likely they are to attack in groups of two or
more. Some 84 percent of those under 21 participated only
in group attacks, it added."Why is the message not being
received? We need to talk about it, report it, and see that it
is dealt with very aggressively by the police," said
Falkenthal.The U.S. Attorney's Office has called for the formation of a new work group to ensure that San Diego develops a coordinated effort to respond to, investigate, prosecute and prevent such crimes.
The San Diego Hate Crimes Community Working Group
will be chaired by Anti-Defamation League Regional Director Morris Casuto and will largely consist of education and
religious leaders, since they guide youth groups in school
and church.
"To be a hate crime it must be a crime first: assault or
vandalism. A victim must be picked out and targeted for
who or what they are. Hate crimes are not speech, flyers,
web sites or speakers. These are considered our freedom of
speech and they are protected," Falkenthal said.
"A hate crime is a crime because it causes everyone else
that is a member of the group to fear that they may be targeted for the same reason or because of who they are. For
example, if you walk down a street and are robbed, you can
change the stret you use, but you can not change it if you
are black or gay."
On Dec. 1, the Anti-Defamation League began providing
information about hate crimes and contacts for community
resources on its World Wide Web site. Its address is
www.sandiego.adl.org.
"It is incumbent upon our community to ensure that no
victim is left invisible; that each individual's worth as a human being is reaffirmed," Casuto said.
The report recommended that schools should be a major
site for anti-hate efforts since 53 percent of the hate-crime
assailants were 20 or developmental programs, beginning
with preschool, to promote positive social attitudes and
behaviors. Diversion programs that target at-risk youth to
bring about behavioral change through education and understanding should also be developed, it added.

elor degree in hand,
it's time for students
to ask the big question: "What now?"
Well, for Mark DuBois, a graduate of CSUSM in May 1996, it was
s omething he h adn't r eally
planned on. DuBois, a Spanish
major, originally planned to travel
the world and teachlinglish after
earning his degree.
"But my experiences at CSUSM
were so positive, I didn't want to
leave. I realized that I wanted to
give something back to the university and the community of San
Marcos," he said.
So he filed an application with
the city to open a coffee shop. The
result, the Power Surge Cafe, which
opened on Dec. 1 near the CSUSM
campus. Looking out of a window
at the cafe toward the campus,
DuBois said, "I want Power Surge
to be the kind of place where students can come and spread out
their books and talk. If one person
makes a friend or learns something
here, it will be worth it."
Located on the corner of Barham
and Twin Oaks Drives, the old
house destined to become the

DuBois as a student. "I used to
drive by this place on the way to
school and think, *Gee, someone
should open a coffee shop here.
What a perfect place!' I used to

and we wished there were someplace close by where we could go
and relax for a while.
"I just never thought I'd be the
one doing this." It took him a year
to turn his dream into reality. San
Marcos required building plans,
tremendous paperwork and compliance with health department
regulations that were "thick as a
telephone book," he said. But
DuBois was determined. " I've
gained so much experience in the

master's degree in Life 101," he
added.
DuBois said he has been overwhelmed by the support offered by

T ^ h e Pagan Alliance Network (PAN), an
A alternative faith organization for CSUSM
students, is currently in the formation process and is seeking potential members to
assist in the development of a mission statement and bylaws for the spring semester.
It founding member, Robert Nanniga, complained that some of his Pagan bumper stickers had been stolen on campus, while other
PAN members said they, had received hate
mail via campus e-mail for wearing Faith pins.
Nanniga said PAN wants to create a forum to help people interested in alternative
spirituality find a haven in an earth-based
spirituality that doesn't negate other dominant rel&tions.
PAN member Samantha Cahill said, "The
club is being formed in response to a perceived lack of inclusion of individuals involved in alternative faith systems. The club
will engage in outreach and public education as members seek to promote acceptance,
diversity, understanding and, above all else,
respect for people involved in spiritual
quests."
Nanniga said he expects controversy due
to intolerance, misunderstanding and lack
of education. "We are seeking truths other
than what's been given to us by mainstream
western dogma," he said, adding, "Spirituality is a tool, not a weapon."
PAN, he added, has a strong environmental base. "As this campus develops, if we
don't take earth spirits into consideration,
we are only going to have a cement cathedral," he said.
Nanniga said the club is open to all and
its direction wilt be determined by its membership. Old age to new age faiths, and even
those associated with main stream religions
are welcome, he said, noting that, "We are a
collage of people seeking spiritual identity
that accepts all interpretations." Interested
individuals can contact Cahill at cahil002.
Gray whales migrate south
B Y JENNIFER S CHRAMM
Well, it's approaching that time again. The gray whales
are on their way south for the winter. The gray whale has the longest migration route of any mammal on earth: 12,000 miles roundtrip! First, they feed
in the Arctic Ocean and Bering Sea for about four months and then begin a
6,000-mile, three-month trip to the warm waters of Baja California to mate or
give birth. After spending about two months in the lagoons or shallow
waters off Baja, they make their trip back to the Arctic. That takes them
another three months.
The gray is a baleen whale (a filter feeder); it
doesn't have teeth. It feeds on bottom-dwellers, shrimp-like animals that
seldom exceed an inch in length, small fish, squid and aquatic crabs.
The whales strain these small creatures from the seawater with their rows
of outside edged, baleen plates lined around the roof of their mouths.
Their initial skin color is black. They get their name from the white barnacles and white
blotchy patterns which give an overall appearance of gray.
These whales do not have dorsal fins (like dolphins or orcas), but instead have a low
round-like hump of flesh followed by a sequence of sharp bumps (or knuckles) extending to
their flukes. The flukes are made entirely of cartilage and connective tissue (no bones) and
are extremely flexible and strong.
The grays begin passing California coasts about Thanksgiving but do not appear in
great numbers until Christmas. They can be seen easily from shore since they follow the
coast in shallower waters in search for the lagoons.
The trick to whale-watching is knowing their breathing habits. They normally take three
breaths in roughly half-minute intervals, followed by a three-to-five minute dive. Their
flukes are normally thrown out of the water after their third breath to assist in the dive.
The whales' "blow" is its breath, which is easily seen because it is ejected hurriedly
under great pressure, t he cooling by the pressure-release causes the 10-12 foot high
"mist" allowing whale watchers to spot them from boats or land.
The southern migration tapers off in February. But the whales can be seen returning
north from early March until the end of April. But they don't hug the shoreline as closely
going north.
Sometimes, though, some grays are seen migrating north just outside the surf-line.
Seaforth Sportfishing in San Diego has three daily whale-watching trips on weekends,
and two on weekdays. The cost is $12 per adult and $8 per child. Other charters can be
taken from H&M Landing and Fisherman's Landing, also in San Diego, at roughly the same
rates.
For a more extravagant experience, the Royal Hornblower in San Diego follows the
whales while offering both dinner and cocktails at a rate of up to $55 per person. But it is
considered a 4-5 star restaurant.
Also, Helgrens Sportfishing in Oceanside Harbor offers whale-watching excursions for
$ 14 per adult and $ 10 per child.
Group rates are available at all the above. And, with the exception of the Royal Hornblower,
each cruise offers a free trip within the next year if a whale is not sighted.
So, if you try this month, keep your eyes open and remember that these large, beautiful
mammals once neared extinction. An international treaty was protecting them was signed
in 1938, and it is still illegal to harm or harass them in any way.
Take advantage of our coastal environment and be thankful you don't live in Kansas.

You've not only been around the
block, but the city as well," said Professor
Martinez, the drama teacher. The last time I
was drafted was for World War II years ago;
this time when I was drafted it would be less
stressful, or so I thought!
Theater Arts was a class I enrolled
in to give me better projection in speaking
and help to reduce my anxiety when facing
an audience. Little did I dream I would get a
part in a big production, especially because
of my age! Professor Martinez must have
seen something I was not aware of in me
because the moment I started to read the
lines I became one of those roustabouts who
were very common in my era. Mr. Martinez
"draped me in Shepard's Old Man's robe"
and each rehearsal brought me closer to being him!
When I was in my early teens, a
long time ago, Saturday afternoon was a big
day. We could go to the movies for a nickel.

Eskan said she eventually would like to
use her talents to mentor children. "It's so
important to encourage them," she added.
Viusal and performing arts talents include
more than acting, however. Before the lights
went down for the beginning of "pool For
Love," pianist Guido Tevini Jr. greeted playgoers with classical Beethoven and Mozart.
Tevini, a junior at CSUSM, is planning to
change his major from chemistry to music.
He also tutors at the Math Center on campus. "I love helping
students with their
math. It's especially
r ewarding when
the light goes on,"
he said.
J ack Edward
H uff, a T heatre
Arts major and senior at C SUSM,
uses his talents on
stage as well as off.
In addition to his role in "Fool for Love,"
Huff also served as the play's technical director.
An experienced performing artist, Huff directed two plays at U.S. Internationa] University at Scripps Ranch. "I would eventually like to get a Ph.D. in the performing arts
and teach acting to college students," he
said.
Other students in the Theatre Arts program assist with lighting, ticketing, costuming and set direction. Dr. Marcos Martinez,
head of the department, said students who
have always wanted to try acting or are just
interested in Visual Performing Arts do not
need to major in theatre arts to participate in
the program.
"We encourage everyone who has always
wanted to try theatre to join us," he added.

What happens inside the annex when the

Vadasy, 80, one of
the CSUSM students acting in the play. "I
thought I would give it a try, and I really

now grandpa becomes an actor."
Peter Benelli, who played the lead male role
in the play, said he is "not like the character

is just the most incredible high you can imagine."
Benelli, a graduate of CSUSM, currently
is applying to graduate schools to further
his studies in the performing arts.
Lisa Eskan, Theatre Arts major at CSUSM
who also played in "Fool For Love" said
she used to get in trouble for her voice because her teacher complained it was "too
loud." Now that she uses her talents on

see who would be the hero!) "How much
fun it would be to play a real hero, to have a

took our bows, heard the applause of the
audience, I found myself back on the farm
playing the hero again, living the dream of
my youth. Yes, Grandpa finally did become

Carlsbad Company

ooking for a unique gift at a discount? Or maybe a brand name at 20 to 30
percent less than offered at department stores? There's a good chance
you'll find what you're looking for at the new Carlsbad Gompany Stores.
*The mall is a mix of upscale designer and manufacturers' outlets, art
J ^ r n — m galleries and restaurants and is located next to the Car Country Carlsbad
just off Interstate 5.
Designer shops not found at any other North County location include Donna Karan,
Harry & David, Calvin Klein and Barney's New York.
Polo Ralph Lauren is scheduled to open later this month. Its designer lines may be discounted 30 percent or more (but also be last season's designs.)
This outdoor center features Mediterranean-style architecture with Tuscany flair and
courtyards dotted with large palms now leading to a huge Christmas Tree.
Shoppers can enjoy "a complete wine country experience" at John and Martha
Culbertson's Bellefleur Winery and Restaurant, the first of its kind to open in a shopping
center. Other restaurants include
Panda Panda and Ruby's Diner scheduled to open next February.
A unique art gallery, Spirits in Stone, exhibits Shona Stone Sculptures from Zimbabwe. It
features stone art sculptures in various sizes from art that can be carried in the palm of your
hand to two-ton pieces for the garden. Prices range from $30 to $33,000.
Among the more familiar stores is Carter's Children's Wear, which offers 20 to 25 percent
off its entire stock. It featurtes a large layette department and currently has a special on
many items priced at $5 and $10.
Baby Guess/Guess Kids, OshKosh B'Gosh and The Right Start are other children's stores
offering similar discounts.
The Gap location includes Baby and Kids Gap with prices 20 to 35 percent less than
those found in full-price stores, according to Paul Catherwood, communications manager
for Gab Outlets. He said many of the store's fashion lines are specially made for outlets.
Some items could be made from fabric that was purchased in excess for a full-price design.
The results are similar product at a greatly reduced price.
"You can make one stop at this store and find something for everyone in the family,"
Catherwood said.
If you're looking for a great buy in sport shoes, check out Van's, In addition to the low
prices on regular stock, it carries seconds at terrific discounts.
Reebok is now running the kind of sale that makes it hard to stop buying; the more you
buy, the more you save. Buy one T-shirt at $12, the second is $8. Buy a third and the price
is $5. Manager Kevin Fretheim said the store takes 25 percent off the top of all merchandise.
There are many other shops, but the mall is compact and very easy to get around.

Tony award winning
musical out on CD
B Y N ICOLE FAWCETT
" ^ T ^ o u might have missed the Tony Award^ L X winning musical, "Dream Girls," Thanks
giving weekend at the Civic Thetre in San
™
Diego, but you can still catch up on its
music.„
The original Broadway cast of the show performs all
38 songs of the newly released album, "The Sound
Track to the Musical Dream Girls."
The music, appropriate for any age group, is an upbeat, toe-tapping mix of rhythm and blues and jazz,
and it's not the stuff you'll hear on your normal, latest
top-40 radio station.
All but* four of the 38 songs are faced-paced. The
show is about the hopes, struggles, dreams and failures of a three-woman singing group (perhaps modeled on Dianna Ross and the Supremes?) in the early
1970s.
The show starts out with the three women beginning at the very bottom by entering a talent contest.
Even though they do not win, a music producer noticed them. Eventually the group goes on the road
and makes it big, only to find that fame and fortune are
not what they're cracked up to be.
The girls are betrayed by the people they work for,
the press and even their own boyfriends and husbands. They learn that show business is just like any
other business, in that a lot depends on who you know,
what you look like, and who you're sleeping with rather
than what you know or how talented you are.
Eventually three break up, and they decide to move
on with their lives: realizing they've had enough of
show biz. But, they swear to remain friends.
Because songs such as, "Only the Beginning,"
"Heavy," "It's All Over," and "Fake Your Way to the
Top," are in the same sequence as the musical, you
can follow the story the group story through the album.
It can be found under the "Sound Track" section in
most music stores. The compact disk sells for about
$20 and the tape for about $15. Geffen Records and
Tapes produced the album.
Tom Eyen, who has two Emmy Awards for previous
musicals as well as a Grammy award for Best Cast Album for "Dream Girls", wrote the lyrics. The composer,
Henry Krieger who received a Grammy and a Tony
Award for the music.
Physical comedy makes for mindless f un
B Y D EBBIE H OLDERBY
^ n r ^ J h e world is divided between those who love British humor,
and those who don't. But both groups probably would agree
that Bean is the utmost in British silliness. Rowan Atkinson,
- JL. a British comedian well known for his physical antics, stars
in this comedy of errors that was loved by the Brits. The San Diego
Union-Tribune reported that the movie was rumored to have made
more than $100 million in Europe, an unusually large figure for that
market.
Bean (Is it Mr. or Dr.? No, just Bean) is a childlike dope who tries to
fit in, but rarely succeeds. He is a guard at the Royal National Gallery
in England, and the board members of the Gallery would dearly love to
getridof him. No wonder, the Gallery sends Bean to the United States
for the unveiling of a priceless painting, "Whistler's Mother." As a
representative of the UK, Bean is treated like an honored guest, but the royal treatment is clearly wasted
on him.
The American family he stays with is afraid their
honored guest will look like "Meatloaf's butt" but soon
discovers that Bean is more of an ass more in action
than looks. Bean is a man of few words and his vocabulary is limited to grunts and one-word sentences.
A high point of the film is when he is shoved to the
front of the room and forced to give a speech at the
unveiling of "Whistler's Mother."
Need Extra $$$$
.r
3
The physical humor in the movie is hilarious, particularly one scene involving the stuffing of a turkey.
But the film's portrayal of Bean's hosts a Los Angeles family, is rather flat and boring. The American family is pretentious and too concerned with appearances.
But this does serve to endear the unassuming Bean to
the audience.
This is a movie for the adolescent young and the
young at heart, and definitely not for the seriousminded. No thinking required. Leave your brains at
home.

Yet, despite murder, sordid sex lives and voodoo rituals in
spooky cemeteries, the movie's plot
never seems to thicken. The murder and the courtroom drama is like
driving to Barstow, it takes too long
to get there and when you do,
there's nothing there.
What c arries the f ilm f or
Eastwood, however, is the unique
o ddn^s of the characters. Veteran
actor Spacey is perfectly cast as the
creepy but ostentatious antique
dealer with a passion for lavish displays of wealth and power.
Cusack also gives a strong performance as the likable and witty
author, despite the lack of a strong
script.
Minerva (Irma T. Hall), the voodoo priestess, has just the right mix
of queerness and mystery for the
part even though the script seems
to fail her, too, with far-fetched rituals of the occult.
Eastwood strays from tradition
by using a handful of characters
playing themselves, including Lady Chablis, a transvestite
in full color. If you can stay awake long enough, be sure to
Mesa
catch her antics at the black debutante ball.
The best performance, however, is
not by Cusack, Spacey, Hall or Lady
Chablis. It's by Spacey *s lawyer, Jack
Thompson.Plot aside, it's the surrealistic quality of the characters that carries the film. As Kelso describes Savannah to a friend over the phone,
"It's like "Gone With the Wind' on
Mescaline."
That "mescaline" quality that Kelso
speaks of, however, refers to the more
abstract characters in the movie, the
dignified old man who walks "Patrick,"
an imaginary dog, the people who stop
to pet Patrick and the strange but endearing recluse who carries a small
vial in his pocket containing enough
poison to kill the entire town.
Even if you're able to stay awake
long enough to be amused by the all
the oddities of Savannah, you're apt
to be disappointed by the ending of
the movie.
The reappearance of the victim has
the effect of taking whatever credibility Eastwood may have earned and blowing it away like a
puff of smoke.

a lot of communicating. N ow, a t

a forum to do j ust
that.
But, members of
the new communication Club, "Dot
Com," stressed at
their first meeting on Nov. 5, it
also would be nice to have a few
more members to c ommunicate
with. So far, there are only about
15.
At their organizational meeting,
club members elected Brian Frye
as president, Shelley Hasty as vice
president, Jennifer Morley as head
of public r elations and M aggie
Robinson as secretary.
In later meetings, the club has
been working to develop a constitution. It has 60 days to do so in
order to be approved by the university.
Since C SUSM's Communications De^^naentJLs new tj\is.§emester, students said they had n a
avenues other than the classroom
setting to communicate. Students
in many other majors at the university have similar clubs that provide networking opportunities and
help in finding j obs after graduation.

Frye, who said he is looking forward to leading the club, stressed
that its success will be up to all
members. "For starters," he said,
"new members will have to be recruited. Still to be determined is a

F uture m eeting times will be

Enrollment
continued from page 1
Enrollment is expected to continue to rise even more substantially over the next decade
with the onset of Tidal Wave II," said CSU Chancellor Barry Munitz. "Therefore, it is critical
that the CSU receives adequate state support and continues its initiatives in the areas of technology use, new public and private partnerships and r evaluation of educational outcomes and
assessment so we can continue to provide access to quality higher education for the people of
California."
Tidal Wave II refers to the antici8pated 500,000 additional students expected to seek
higher education in California over the next decade, including nearly 100,000 at the CSU.
Opening day enrollment increased this fall on 18 of the 22 CSU campuses, and six
campuses - Bakersfield, Dominguez Hills, Monterey Bay, San Bernardino, San Marcos and
Stanislaus - reached their highest enrollment figures since the early 1990's.
As expected, the CSU's newest campus, Monterey Bay, experienced the highest percentage growth at 26 percent with a 330-student increase to 1,586. The next largest increase in
percentage of students was 9 percent at San Bernardino with a 1,134 gain. San Marcos grew by
6 percent adding 275 students this fall and increasing from 448 to 4,684 since opening in 1990.
Other campuses with large gains were San Jose with 1,022, Fresno with 900 and Fullerton with
866.
The full-time equivalency enrollment figure, which counts students based on percentage of credits they take toward a full 15-credit load, also increased about 2 percent from 260,927
to 266,536, considerably higher than the level at which the CSU is funded by the state.
San Diego continues to have the largest enrollment with 30,593, followed by Long
Beach at 27,810, Northridge at 127,652, San Francisco at 26,983 and San Jose at 26,896.
The CSU has the largest enrollment of any senior higher education system in the country. Although about 95 percent of CSU students are from California, the CSU enrollment also
includes students from every state in the country and from at least 137 different countries. Minority groups represent more than half of the CSU student body.

Adult sites set the standard for
electronic commerce
M ARK L . A LCH P H . D
" W"n the mid-nineteenth century the taking of nude im
I ages, sold under the counter, helped create the photo
I graph industry. One can be reasonably assured that
M the first obscene telephone call occurred soon after
the Bell Telephone Company began its network service to
homes. When silent pictures came of age, the "stag file"
was invented for the male audience.
Later, adult oriented theaters originated to provide entertainment on the big screen. Sexually explicit
films released to theaters were later replaced by
VCR's hawking titles such as "Deep Throat," "The
Devil in Miss Jones," and "Behind the Green Door."
One could watch these "classics" in the privacy of
their own home. In the 1980'$ the mass distribution
of small, compact video cameras inaugurated amateur sex movies.
A new industry was created where nearly
anyone could direct his or her own adult film. Adult
entertainment is the driving force behind the explo—
sive popularity of the Internet. As an example,
iyixxxen.com, one of the largest adult oriented web pi
sites, features over 1,000,000 free pictures. The adult1
oriented web sites have paved the way for all types
of commercial ventures on the Net.
To understand how they make money, one
needs to survey adult entertainment, since all businesses follow one or more of .their models to generate income on the web. The vast majority of sites
attempt to generate income in one of six ways:
B anner ads—Vixxxen.com is one of the
few free adult sites generating the heaviest traffic.
This web address contains over 1 million stored pictures, and advertisers pay $10,000 to place a banner
on the site. In this model, advertisers receive a large
number of visitors and the consumer, in return, receives pictures free of charge.
Pay p er month—Only one-hundredth of

tures already on the Net, according to Rick Ferguson,
Webmaster at Vixxxen.com.
Advertising by female models—although not to
prevalent, a few models and agencies have established sites
in order to augment their business. Ferguson stated, "by
increasing their visibility through a high hit rate they hope
to capitalize on modeling contracts."
Aligning with a n a dult verification service—if
an adult wants access to such sites, they have to pay a

yearly fee and receive an access code that allows entry at
any web address that signed with the firm. The stated
purpose is to protect the underage viewers from getting
into the adult sites. Ferguson of Fixxxen.com mentioned,
"the verification service shares a percentage of the fees
with the sites that initially signs up the consumer." To
date, this has only attracted a minority of the adult web
sites.
F ree sites contracting with pay sites on
a p er click basis—a pay site will pay (7usually
$.02-.03 per click) to a free site for consumers who
arrive at their business through links or banners.
A prodigious amount of traffic has to be generated
before significant income can be made. Then too,
the burden of effective advertising is on the host
site rather than the advertiser, as the adult site has
no control over the flow of income.
Pay p er service—these are sites offering
live (or simulated sex), chat lines, phone sex, video
streaming, and CD's. These firms pay for banner
ads on free sites, such as Vixxxen.com, keeping
them in business. As a consumer, you are paying
for the technology to have anonymous, safe sex in
the p rivacy of y our h ome. F erguson of
Fixxxen.com affirmed, "with charges ranging from
$2 (chat lines) up to $240 per hour, this segment
of the adult entertainment industry can offer extremely high profits to the owner.
Behind computer products and travel, the
adult entertainment industry is the third largest in
total sales. It is first among all industries in terms
of the number of visitors on a daily basis. In review, only a handful of sites are generating tremendous profits and receiving notice, such as
Vixxxen.com. Those on the leading edge of technology are paving the way for other industries in
the scramble for market share and high profits on
the Internet. In the next installment, we will look
at commerce and technology on the web.

�D on't let your assets get
too f rozen over the
winter quarter —
B Y KRISTINA S ETH
r I l ime Vs. Money: Is winter session a good deal? First
o ff, you may be sacrificing a badly needed break
X
f rom classes. Secondly, you may be paying too
much, particularly if y ou're on financial aid.
Indeed, some advisers suggest skipping CSUSM's winter session, which starts Jan. 5. " It's not an economically
sound decision to spend almost 50 percent of your financial aid for the year on winter and summer sessions," says
Gerrie Hatten, assistant financial aid director at CSUSM.
"It d oesn't leave students with enough money for the regular fall and spring semesters."
Winter courses cost $105 per unit, $39 more than fall
and spring semesters f or full-time CSUSM students. Even
at that, though, it may be a good buy, according to Janet
Jubran, assistant dean f or extended studies. "We made the
decision to keep the cost at $105, even though other schools,
including SDSU,
are charging $115 per unit," she added. "We know it's a
lot f or students to pay and we d idn't want to charge them
a nymore."
irmm&j^ m
Financial aid for j ust the winter or summer session is
not an option. "It is our decision to not o ffer loans specifically f or summer and winter s ession," H atten s ays.
r
"The reasons why we made §li
this choice are we d on't have
enough staff to handle the
a dditional w orkload, and
t here i sn't e nough t urn
around time.
"Winter and summer are
s hort s essions. A lso, t he

IMP Hi H
is set up in such a severe way
there is no way we could keep up."
During fall and spring semesters, a student has two weeks
after classes begin to decide if they want to drop any course.
If they do so within that span, their tuition money is refunded in full.
Conversely, winter students have but 12 hours to decide
if they want to remain in a course in order to get a full
tuition refund. That puts a heavy burden on them, many
students say.
L et's say a student decides to drop a winter course after
the first class. But, if i t's a class that lasts until after 5
p.m., 3 p.m. to 6:45 p.m., f or example, i t's impossible to
get a full refund because the cashier's office is closed. By
the next morning, when it reopens, the grace period has
expired.
Does this logic seem skewed? Senior Summer Tebbs, a
liberal studies major, thinks so. "What if y ou're sick or
your car breaks down and you c an't make it to the cashier's
o ffice on Jan. 5 to get a r efund?" she asks. " It's not right
that they only give you that one day and after that, you
lose."
A fter Jan. 5, students dropping a course can get only a
65 percent refund of the original tuition . .. and, then, only
if they act before the end of Jan. 6. After that, there's no
refund at all.
Hatten says there are ways to beat the system. One is to
attend a commuriity college such as Palomar or Mira Costa
and take a comparable, lower-division course.
Another is to set aside money for winter session when
you get your fall financial aid disbursement. "Most students d on't fealize that there is no state subsidy f or winter
and summer sessions," Hatten says. "We want to help students as much as possible, so we suggest that if students
h ave eligibility left, that they apply for a student loan to
cover the cost of winter session."
"Even though there are no specific loans for winter session, they can pay the fees with their credit card and then
be reimbursed by us when they get their loan disbursement in the spring."
Jubran says the extended studies program was set up
primarily to allow students to take one course. Faculty
members generally discourage heavier winter loads, since
t he session ljkonly t hree^ee&s long.
When asked why tHe"winter'cost is so high, Jurban explained, "Taking one three-unit class during winter at $330
is a better deal than taking
one class during a regular
semester, when the cost for
a three-unit class is $459.
"It is,a better deal, however, to take t wo c lasses
during the regular semester,
because, for the same $459,
you can take two classes,
whereas during winter, it
will cost you $630 to take
11111 IIH i * $ H
two classes."
Jurban added that the possibility of helping students cover the cost of winter session
by allotting funds from the university is under consideration.
For those students to whom winter session is imperative, there is another alternative. The TERI Company (1800-255-TERI) offers student loans at an interest rate of
8.5 percent. There is no payment required as long as a
student is enrolled in six or more units or until six months
after graduation.
"You can borrow from $500 up to the cost of your education," said a customer representative at TERI. "To qualify,
you have to be working full-time. If you aren't working
full-time, you have to have a co-signer, regardless of your
age or credit history."
Winter session tuition must pay for everything from the
use of the class room and the teacher's salary to the salaries of extended studies personnel.
Both the federal and state governments consider the academic year to consist of only two semesters. In the future,
however, thanks to on-line classes, year-round school will
be a more attainable, and possibly less expensive reality,
officials say.

^ T ^ T ith the country's relatively recent
\ \ f craze for nostalgia, new bands
T T imitating older bands have become a dime a dozen. Yet the new bands
generally refuse to admit that most of their
creativity comes from somewhere else.
That is why god street wine is such a refreshing change. It draws its inspiration
from people and bands such as the AUman
Brothers, Black Crowes, Bob Dylan and
Mojo Nixon. And it freely admits it. The
beauty of its music is that it takes little
pieces from many that have gone before and
combines them into something new and
enjoyable.
The music has a twangy, bluesy, comfortable feel to it that makes you want to grab a
beer and kick back with some friends.
The lyrics are poetically impressive with
a cynical, slightly jaded overtone. Memories of friends, political opinions and broken hearts are all themes in various songs.

of the story and hyping it along the way.
It is, or tries to, reflect the bitter truth of

Mad City has heart and makes us feel both
the media frenzy and our dislike for it, but
lacks insight into the soul, the real cost for
the betrayal and inhumanity of the exploitative media.
Dustin Hoffman plays a TV network journalist (Max Brackett) who loses his j ob after going ballistic on camera and is transferred to a meaningless little affiliated station in Madeline, Calif. In an effort to revive his career and status, he maneuvers a
hostage situation into a national news event.
While doing a story on the town's natural history museum by interviewing its director (Blythe Dancer), a recently fired security guard (John Travolta) turns up with
a gun and explosives to demand his j ob back
after taking his former boss and several visiting schoolchildren hostage. He also inadvertently shoots a friend, a black security
guard, thus setting the stage for the public
to perceive him as a racist in addition to a
kidnaper.
Max, however, anticipates the forthcoming deluge of television cameras and reporters and begins to control and maneuver the
situation for maximum emotional impact.
He wins the guard's trust, restricts media
access to him and builds a sympathetic image of him as an average American working man, a regular guy who couldn't take
the shame of not being able to support his
family.

It's The Rainmaker.1
Francis Ford Coppola's screenplay, based
on John Grisham's best-seller, has all the
ingredients for box office success. Situated
in Memphis, the story surrounds a naive,
yet passionate, law school graduate, Rudy
Baylor (Matt Damon), who finds himself
swallowed into a sleazy pocket of the legal
profession, the office of attorney J. Lyman
Stone (Mickey Rourke).
There, with the help of Stone's right hand
man, Deck Shifflet (Danny DeVito), Baylor
is acclimated to the finer talents of the legal profession: ambulance chasing.
The primary plot, however, is one in
which Baylor finds himself representing the
family of a young man who is dying because an
his health cafe.
Not only does Baylor bond with the young
man and his family (a family that abounds
with unique character), but he crosses paths
with a young battered wife, Kelly Liken,
played by Claire Danes {Romeo <£ Juliet,
U-Turn).
Damon is poignantly perfect in his deliverance of an all-American, idealistic, young
attorney. He radiates with a kindheartedness that is predominantly absent from his
chosen profession.
Jon Voight also gives a brilliant performance as the lead defense attorney for the
insurance company, whose practice is to
take premiums from the poor and then automatically deny all claims.
Like David taking on Goliath, Baylor
takes on the arrogant and self-righteous
defense in a courtroom battle that is obviously unbalanced.
DeVito as an ex-insurance employee, who
has the chronic problem of failing the bar
exam, balances the serious nature of the
legal issues with his charm and candor.
More often than not, the audience will find
themselves chuckling at his likable character.
W hile s imilar in p lot and s tyle to
Grisham's The Client, The Firm and A
Time To Kill, The Rainmaker also resembles another classic film, The Verdict
What separates it from the rest, however,
is the star-studded quality it possesses, some
of its well-known actors' appearances are
uncharacteristically small.
For anyone who enjoyed the drama and
justice in The Firm and The Verdict, The
Rainmaker is a must-see. Those who didn't
might enjoy the trivial pursuit anyway!

J L comeback.
Crossing the threshold of the India Princess in San Marcos is to be transformed to
a different world. The fragrance of cumin,
cinnamon, curry and coriander, along with
the music and the art work, place you seemingly in the middle of India.
The food is authentic Indian as well. From
vegetable samosas as an appetizer to kulfi
as a dessert, it's a unique .dining experience.
The restaurant's vegetarian menu has
more than 10 dishes, from malai kofta to
gobhi makhani. Each is served with frasee INDIA p age 12

grant, cooked basmati rice.
If you like a delicate yet delicious dish, palak
paneer may be for you. Its fresh spinach and homemade cottage cheese are lightly seasoned with herbs
and spices to create an unusual, but fabulous taste*
But if you prefer a richer taste, the charbroiled
eggplant dish, baingnan bharta, should serve you
well. The cooked tomatoes and onions give it a
creamy texture but stronger taste. But the aloo gobhi,
a cauliflower and potatoes dish, is a bit too heavy to
eat with rice.
Although India Princess is a vegetarian's paradise, it can keep meat-eaters happy, too. It has a
large variety of lamb, chicken and seafood dishes
which are all served with fragrant basmati rice.
Beer-drinkers may want to try Flying Horse, a light
and tasty Indian beer that comes in a bottle big
enough for two people.
All the vegetarian dishes cost $8.95 except the
lentil dish, 4 dal\ which is $6.95. The non-vegetarian dishes range from $6.95 to $12.95. Appetizers
and desserts generally run $2.50.
India Princess also offers an all-you-can-eat lunch
buffet and an a-la-carte dinner every day. On Sundays, it features a champagne brunch.
India Princess is open seven days a week from 11
a.m. to 2 p.m. for lunch and 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. for
dinner. There is no need for reservations.

"V" T"ith the approach of the new mil
% / % / lennium, the CSU system has
T T been r ethinking its c urrent
method of delivering adequate technology
to students and faculty.
The CSU System wide Internal Partnership (SIP) has recently selected Team GTE
as a business partner in an effort to improve
its information technology infrastructure:
Team GTE, also known as California Education Technology Initiative Corporation
(CETI), consists of GTE, Fujitsu, Hughes,
and Microsoft corporations.
The proposed CETI plan points out that
because of today's rapidly changing technology, the CSU system can no longer count
on irregular sources of money including
grants, gifts and "entrepreneurial-efforts"
to keep technology current.
Richard Karas, CSUSM's vice president
of Academic Affairs, said the plan would
enable the CSU system "to provide a higher
level of technology." He added that it will
bring technology of all the CSU campuses
up to a reasonable level.
CSUSM's executive director of Computers and T elecommunications, Norm
Nicolson, said it will "benefit students enormously" through a better infrastructure,
higher-speed access within the computer
labs arid a better variety of dial-up access
off campus.
With the implementation of CETI,
Nicolson also anticipates more innovative

Nov. 20, "The Great American
Smokeout," could be the day for some students if CSUSM's Health Services has its
way. Its staff is doing its best to raise student awareness that, as the American Cancer Society puts it, "Smoking WILL kill
you; it's just a matter of how."
Student smokers confess that they know
the risks, yet a number continue to smoke.

quit smoking, I would do it."
What kind* of program would she like
best? "I prefer hypnotism," she answered.
Each of 10 CSUSM student smokers, six
women and four men, said they, too, would
like to quit. They had several rationalizations for why they continue to smoke,
mainly "It's relaxing" and "I'm worried
about gaining weight." Several said Nov.
20 was just another day to them.
"It takes more than a day of propaganda
to help someone quit smoking," said
Mark, a junior majoring in computer science. "They have to want to quit, and then
really do it. There is no halfway point."
But, he agreed, the day at least helps promote awareness of the dangers of smoking.
According to the American Lung Association, the American Cancer Society, and
the World Health Organization, 390,000
Americans die each year from the effects
of smoking. Tobacco use now causes 3 million deaths a year worldwide. Half a billion people now alive will be killed due to
tobacco use.
Citing statistics showing that worldwide
sales of cigarettes reached 295.8 billion last
year, the World Health Organization calls
tobacco use "a global epidemic."
CSUSM student smokers tended to rationalize these numbers. "We're all going to
die somehow," said Mark. "I know I
shouldn't smoke, but I don't want to quit
right now."
Four of the other nine smokers interviewed shared that attitude.
But some students have managed to kick
the habit recently. Pam, a 34-year-old
CSUSM student, said she began smoking
while working as a waitress. "It was the
sociable thing to do," she said. "It seemed
like everyone was really enjoying it."
She added that she, too, enjoyed the habit,
though it was expensive and she hated the
way her sister would that she "reeked of
smoke."
So why did she quit? "Because it was
impossible to tell my son not to smoke when
interest of the students, just for the university and the companies."
He added that he fears CSUSM students
ultimately will have to pay for many services they are currently receiving for free.
But both Karas and Nicolson said they don't
anticipate such a development. Students
will only pay for services above what they
are currently getting, Karas said.
While students currently are rationed in
their Internet access, under CETI they will
have the option to purchase additional
amounts at a discounted student rate, Karas
said. The proposed, fee-based career counseling will provide extra help, he added.
The percentage of revenue generated for
the CSU system is being negotiated,
Nicholson said. Karas said he anticipates
it would be "in the high tens of millions of
dollars per year."
Ramos said he hoped the money generated would go for improvements on campus, such as more buildings, a parking
structure and a better library. "There is a
lpt we could do with the money, but it's still
coming out of the students'pockety'* he
added. "The university is getting the break."
Ramos said he also was concerned about
the trend at CSUSM to contract services out,
pointing to the pay-per-print deal with
IKON. Under the contract, students must
now pay 15 cents to print each page. Of
that, the university only receives a one and
a half cents per page.
I still did," she said, adding that it was a
powerful motive. "When you smoke, it's
like second-nature. You don't even realize
you're doing it," she said. "It's hard to recognize the danger of something that is so
ingrained in you."
Pam said she used an older, but dependable method for quitting. First, she switched
brands to one she didn't like. Then, gradually, she cut back in number of the cigarettes. To avoid triggering her urge to
smoke, she did her best to avoid frequenting the places and company where she
would be most tempted to light up.
Finally, she threw away all her cigarettes,
ashtrays and lighters, and had her teeth
cleaned to get the tobacco stains off and
provide further motivation.
To take the place of smoking, she found
a new habit: She squeezed a rubber ball
every time she wanted a cigarette. Sometimes, she said, she'd have to just take a
walk AND squeeze the ball because she
wanted a cigarette so badly.
According to "Quitting Times" magazine,
Pam did everything right. She developed a

smoker's hack will begin to disappear. And
you'll be free from the mess, smell, inconvenience, expense and dependence of cigarette smoking."
When your body is dependent on nicotine, you feel more relaxed, health experts
say. It's like using coffee to wake up. But,
ironically, nicotine is a stimulant: It increases
your levels of nervousness, but the action
of smoking helps calm you down.
The experts also say that it would take a
weight gain of more than 60 pounds to offset the benefit from being smoke-free.
CSUSM Health Service officials say they
are developing a program to help students
quit and it could be ready by next semester.
In the meantime, if you need help, several
organizations have such programs, including the local American Red Cross (phone:
619-291-2620), the National Cancer Institute,
(1-800-4-CANCER) and the American Cancer Society (1-800-ACS-2345). Each of those

A re you rushing from class to Class without even a moment for a quick bite to eat? If
i l s o , the new snack cart that opened last week in Founders Plaza outside the Science
Building, may be a welcome sight.
It offers a variety of items that are ideal for a meal on the run, including pretzels, chips,
a variety of hot dogs (the College Dog, the Smart Dog and the Studious Dog, for example) and Italian sausages.
For $1.10, you can get a deliciously soft pretzel. The highest priced item on the menu
is the Italian sausage ($3.25) and a number of students said it is well worth the price.
The snack cart is owned and operated by Premier Espresso Company. Mike Reid, coowner of the company, said it was set up at the request of the school. He hopes to add a
more items to the menu soon.
"This is so convenient, and the price is right," said literature major Dawn Knepper.
Added Frances Bernal, another literature major: "It's very hard to get to the Dome between classes, so this is a great idea."
Reid said completion of the new international building should attract even more vendors to Founders Plaza.

The second time around hasn't been too
bad. The semester is more than half over,
and I'm still holding my own. I haven't
learned to laugh at math yet, but, more
importantly, it's not laughing at me. I attribute some of this to my teacher's weird
sense of humor, which he incorporates into
his teaching.
Best of all, he uses language I understand:
"This is really stupid." "Doesn't this seem
ridiculous?" "This is kind of dumb."
"There's five times too much garbage here."
Yes! A math teacher with a sense of humor!
In addition to the colorful language, this
teacher gives us about five or six examples
on the topics of the night. He makes it look
and sound so easy and repeats it enough
times that it sinks in, even though the class
is 7:30-8:45 p.m., and I've already put in a
full day at work.
Really strange, but he makes it all work

garbage, even if it is stupid.

Life celebrated on Day of the Dead
B Y JOHN M . RODRIGUEZ
M
y grandmother doted on my sisters and I when we were children. On Hallow
een, over the protests of my then teen-aged uncle and aunt, she would empty
her candy dish into our trick-or-treat sacks. During Christmas, she would put
up a cardboard fireplace in her tiny house so we could hang our stockings.
It has been more than 30 years since she died, but I shared these memories of her before
lighting a votive candle and placing a marigold on an altar in her honor during Day of
the Dead festivities last week on campus.
Contrary to its somber name, Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a celebration of
life and remembrance that takes place throughout Latin America. It is actually a two-day
event, according to Linda Amador who helped coordinate the campus event. Nov. 1
honors children who have died, while Nov.
2, commemorates the adults. Since both days landed on a weekend this year, the altar
display and presentation were held Nov. 3 at CSUSM for the benefit of students who
wished to participate.
The elaborate altars were sponsored by individuals and campus organizations, including Counseling and Psychological Services. Two altars were available for students who
wished to commemorate a loved one. Each reflected the characteristics and personality of
the deceased honoree.
The traditional altar built by Amador for her grandmother contains many of the items
found on most Day of the Dead altars. The votive candles, flowers, images of the Virgin
of Guadalupe, candies, and pan dulce (sweet bread) are typical. Amador personalized
hers with cooked bowls of rice and beans and kitchen implements to emphasize her
grandmother's love of cooking. Additional items, including a rosary, bible, mantilla (veil),
a childhood doll and Photographs, completed the display.
In some cases, groups of people were remembered. For instance, the altar sponsored by
Carlos von Son's Spanish 250 class memorializes the roughly 1,200 illegal immigrants
who died while crossing the border over the last four years. It also depicted a diorama of
the desert with tiny cacti and sugar skulls with a border edge of flattened tin.
The desert represented the dangerous border badlands most immigrants must cross
while the skulls commemorated the victims, according to student Veronica Munoz who
was instrumental in developing the altar. She added that the flattened tin border represented the metal border fence running between the United States and Mexico. A bowl
with burning copal combined with flowers was used to simulate the odor of burning
bones.
Atfirstglance, the altar constructed by Career Assessment office manager Lily Martinez
Gonzalez and her husband, Psychology professor Gerardo M. Gonzalez, to remember
Chicano activist Cesar Chavez seemed almost political in nature with its prominent United

Farm Workers emblems and photos. But the
connection between the Gonzalezes and the
late UFW leader is a very personal one.
The couple first met Chavez during the
early '80s when both were students at
Fresno State. Lily Gonzalez recalls with
great warmth the personality of a man who
gave entirely of himself to his cause and
his people, but always found time to listen
to his volunteers.
"The thing that I remember most about
Cesar Chavez is that he once told me that
if you were consistent and had integrity,
those were the things that were really important. He recognized people no matter
who they were.,,,, she said.
Chavez, who often shunned politicians
and businessmen, would always find time
to speak with farm workers, university students and children, she added.
The couple's tribute to Chavez included
elements of the UFW, but also items revealing the personal side of the man. For instance, the myriad of vegetables revealed
the vegetarian diet of a man who struggled
with the tempting meat dishes of his native
land.
Day of the Dead altars were not restricted
to Latino themes. Many other cultures also
view death as cyclical of life, so the adoption of Dia de los Muertos became a natural crossover for other campus groups.
Psychology professor Carlene Smith prepared an altar commemorating the African
slaves who either died en-route to America
or on plantations. "We don't just set aside
one day for the dead," she said. "It's an
everyday occurrence in African culture."
Professor Smith combined traditional
African items such as masks, clothing,
gourds, musical instruments, books on African culture and illustrations of slave
scenes to complete her altar.
The essence of celebrating Day of the
Dead is to remember something special
about a deceased loved one, and then share
that memory with someone, according to
Amador. She encouraged the gathering to
place lighted candles and marigolds on the
altar.
Following her presentation, von Son read
a poem he wrote for the event in Spanish
followed by an English translation. Liberal
Arts professor Bonnie L. Baden concluded
the festivities with a slide presentation on
Mexican tradition regarding Dia de los
Muertos.

If you like movies that are

It's a new thriller starring
Morgan Freeman ("Glory," "Outbreak," "The Shawshank Redemption"), who plays a forensic psychologist hot on the trail of a serial

The movie's villain, whose
face is never shown, is a kidnaper

killing is not his main motive. All of
his victims are young, attractive

virtuoso, another an aspiring

Many people believe that a band
requires unique sounds, original personality and lyrical savvy to achieve individuality.
Though the sound of The Freddy
Jones Band's new set album, "Lucid," is
clear and produced well, the music elicits
little in the way of emotional sensations.
Why listen to the monotony of
another generic group? Echoing original
sounds such as Toad the Wet Sprocket,
Dave Matthew's Band and even Pearl
Jam, The Freddy Jones Band lacks personal style.
"Woke up on the wrong side of
my self this morning/wish I could have
stayed in bed..." should have been the
songwriter's intent, for he may have
dreamt of a sound solely belonging to
him. But the mimic of his music prevails
only in the initial impression and is
quickly lost.
The album's melodies are boring
and its instrumental talent is lacking,
allowing lots of time to reflect on truer
talents such as the bands listed previously.
"Mystic Buzz" is the only song
worth listening to more than once, but
that's because of its similarity to Toad the
Wet Sprocket's "Walk on the Ocean."
These guys make an effort, four
albums now, but the pop-rock sounds do
not enlighten the ears or intrigue the soul,
so why bother listening? It's studio stuff,

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

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

CSUSM's

received numerous

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

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

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

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

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

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

There is a noticable change in B ob Dylan.
D iscounting his b rush with d eath a f ew
months ago and his recent p erformance f or
the Pope* this is not the s ame man w ho
made " Blowin' in the W ind" something of
a folk anthem.
Bob Dylan is aging f ast, and on his new
album, "Time Out of M ind," he shows that
he is aging gracefully and accepts that he
is no longer the i nfluence he once was.
If you a ren't f amiliar with D ylan's w ork,'
you are missing out on some of the most
influential rock music and poetry of the 20th
century. Albums like "Highway 61 Revisited" and " Blonde on B londe," are timeless masterpieces of the 1960s, and necessary listening f or anyone who considers him
or herself a music fan of any genre.
But, as even the staunchest Dylan f ans
admit, he has put out some pretty lousy al-

b ums f rom a bout 1980 o n, with only a
couple of exceptions.
Which brings us to "Time Out of Mind,"
which is D ylan's best album since 1989's
spotty "Oh Mercy," and his first of original
songs since 1991 ' s dismal "Under a Red
Sky."
Recorded before his recent illness, "Time
Out of M ind" shows that Dylan still has
the talent that made him a legend. His f ocus has shifted, f rom spokesman of an entire generation to a f ringe celebrity unrecognized by a majority of today's youth. H is
v oice s ounds w eathered and s trained at
times, but determined and compelling at the
same time.
The a lbum's first track, "Love Sick,' is
an atmospheric and bitter tone-setter. " I'm
sick of love, and I 'm,in the thick of it,"
s ings D ylan on t he s ong's c horus. As a
whole, the album has a very bluesy feel to
it.
The 16-minute "highlands" is an examination of D ylan's life f rom his point of view
today, and shows that he is not necessarily
c omfortable with his f ading visibility and
a ge, but h as c ome t o understand that he
cannot relive his glory days.
Dylan is not the type to bluster about in
his mid-50s like the Rolling Stones do today. D ylan's strength has always come in
h is honesty, and that is something it seems
he will always retain.
Dylan was such an overachiever early in
his career that everything else he does can
only pale in comparison, and he will never
be able to relive his glory days. All he can
d o is keep on going, and that seems to be a
looming theme in the album*
Musically, producer Daniel Lanois (best
known as the producer f or U2) helps create
a strong yet unobtrusive sonic atmosphere,
and allows D ylan's voice to carry the album, which works wonderfully.
"Time Out of M ind" is an essential f or
the Dylan aficionado, as both another chapter in hi&musical library and as the triumphant return of a legend. It is also his most
accessible album in y ears, f or the Dylan
curious.
But if y ou've never been exposed to early
Dylan, raid the local music store's used L P

The pictures seem out of place in an upscale c offee shop.
Perhaps you have noticed them as you sat
waiting in your local Starbucks f or a c afe
latte or f rappucino. T he h uge, poster-size
photos hanging on the walls show workers, likely f rom Central America, picking
c offee berries f rom trees or sorting c offee
beans on long tables.
The images were intended to lend atmosphere to the store, but maybe you wondered
whether there were stories behind the workers.
Sandra Benitez brings their world t o our
eyes in her new novel, "Bitter G rounds"
(Hyperion Press. 4 44 pp.). Profiled in the
last issue of the Pride, Benitez shared the
insights and motivations, which led her to
write of her recollections growing u p in El
Salvador prior to that c ountry's civil war
in the ' 80s.
The fictional story t hat u nfolds i n "Bitter
G rounds" c ombines her e xperience as a
member of the Sal vadoran upper class with
A review of Bitter Grounds
the stories of her f amily's campesino (peasant) servants. "Bitter Grounds" is a episodic
story told through the lives of three successive generations of women from two families, the P rietos ( Mercedes, J acinta, and
Maria-Mercedes) and the Contreras (Elena,
Magda, and Flor). The Prietos work as domestic s ervants f or t he u pper c lass
C ontreras.
Benitez draws parallels and divisions between the d isparate cultural classes. The
Prietos are Pipil Indians who, at the onset
of the story in 1932, still speak Nahautl,
the ancient language of the Aztecs. As with
many Indian groups throughout the Americas, they live in poverty, exist on subsistence crops like corn and beans, and s uffer
cultural discrimination and injustice. Their
main source of income comes f rom laboring on vast c offee plantations f or rich landowners who often underpay them.
The Contreras own one of the most prosperous plantations in El Salvador. Benitez
portrays them as savvy business people who
stay ahead of the market through accurate
forecasting, innovation and diversity. But
she also portrays thefn as compassionate
people, particularly the women, who are not
totally oblivious to the plight of their servants.
Limited friendships within the c onfines
of class division form between the corresponding g enerations of P rieto a nd
Contreras women.
Both families endure trials and tribulations t hroughout the n ovel, which is set
f rom 1932 through 1977. T he women of
the two families deal with emotional heartache over such issues as spousal relations
and family strife, although admittedly oil
different levels.
They must also deal with the growing
d omestic violence, which t hreatens their
security and hurtles their tiny nation toward
an uncertain future.
Historically accurate, Benitez uses the
events occurring in El Salvador to provide
the basic timeframe f or her story. All of the
described events, f rom la
m atanza (the m assacre) at the beginning
of the book to the government seizure of
plantations near the end, really happened.
It lends authenticity to the stories presented
in "Bitter Grounds."
Reminiscent of the Amy T an's " The Joy
Luck C lub," the main thrust of B enitez's
novel c oncerns the mother/daughter relationships w ithin t he P rietos a nd t he
Contreras. Although their lives o ften overlap, Benitez m anages t o prevent confusion
distinguishing the generations by presenting their respective lives in serial fashion,
r ather than t he o ut-of-sequence m anner
employed by Tan.
B enitez cleverly uses a fictional radio
telenovela (Spanish soap opera) to parallel
and forecast the lives of her main characters throughout the book.
"Bitter G rounds" uses irony and fate to
link the lives of the Prietos and Contreras
see Bitter Grounds page 11
�Bitter Grounds
continued from page 10
tighter and tighter as the novel progresses.
Despite their cultural and class differences,
the families' futures intertwine until the f inal climatic convergence* which binds them
to a common violent fate.
Benitez masterfully writes this scene in a
manner which stuns the reader, a la A lfred
Hitchcock.
Although "Bitter G rounds" dabbles in
magic realism, the h allmark of H ispanic
literature, it does not d o so nearly on the
level of Rudolfo Anaya's "Bless Me Ultima"
or Isabel Allende's "House of Spirits," or
any number of novels written by Gabriel
Garcia Marquez, Benitez's professed favorite author and literary influence.
B ut, t his d oes not d iminish " Bitter
Grounds." Rather, Benitez fashions both the
characters and plot to a level that compels
r eaders t o i mmerse t hemselves into the
story.
Fish House Vera
Cruz offers fine
dining
If you're looking f or elegant dining in a casual atmosphere with, uh, life like surroundings, The Fish House Vera Cruz i s the perfect choice.
Located in San M arcos' Restaurant Row,
The Fish House takes its name seriously.
It's a dimly lit, grotto-style restaurant with
huge aquariums forming most of its inner
walls and partitions. But the inhabitants are
a far cry from goldfish and seaweed. Sand
sharks, lion and clown fish, an octopus and
even a huge, zebra-striped eel make up the
more interesting sights p atrons can gaze
upon while dining.
Despite all this grandeur, the atmosphere
is relaxed and comfortable. Jeans and a T shirts are just as acceptable as suits and ties.
The food corresponds well with its surroundings. The menu consists completely
of fish. There are no chicken or beef copouts.
There is also a w onderful selection of
wines to complement all dishes. T he restaurant is currently featuring a Chardonnay
called La Crema f or a v e r y good price. It
has a light, fruity, almost buttery flavor that
goes very well with fish. It is honestly the
best wine I have ever tasted.
There's a small list of five or six appetizers to choose from. T he Oysters Rockefeller,
in particular, is outstanding, rich enough
to please any connossieun
Entrees consist mainly of f resh fish, but
there are shellfish options as well as seafood salads offered. But the primary focus
is on fish.
For side dishes, you can pick up to three,
r ange f rom rice pilaf and steamed vegetables t o a green salad and soup.
The swordfish is a good bet, as is the red
snapper. Both are grilled to perfection and
basted with a light garlic-butter sauce. The
portions are good-sized and you won't leave
still hungry. But, j ust in case you still have
room, Fish House has a modest selection of
classic desserts. Nothing too exciting, just
your basic cheesecake, chocolate ganache
and berry pies.
However, all of this excellence doesn't
come cheaply. The Fish House Vera Cruz
is not a place the average student can afford m ore than once every few months.
Appetizers range from $5.95 to $8.95. Entrees start at $8.95 and can go as high as
$22.95. For desserts, expect to pay $3.95
to $5.95. The La Crema Chardonnay wine
was priced at $21 a bottle.
Altogether, it is a meal that can lighten
your wallet considerably. But it is well worth
it. T he food and atmosphere combines to
create an unforgettable dining experience.
You definitely get your money's worth.
R eservations are not needed (or even
taken f or parties of less than eight). The
next time you want to take a few steps up

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

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

Associated Students start year with promise
by Michele Cecelski
"TTt doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's
I how you play the game.
J L The Associated Students of CSUSM
have grown tired of this adage.They want
to start winning.
And with the new aces they have up their
sleeve this semester, that just may happen.
For the first time since they came into
existence, a budget has been approved for
their use. That means each student pays an
extra $20 in fees when paying for tuition.
Many students wonder where that money
goes and if they are simply throwing away
twenty bucks.
But the Associated Students have not been
idle with it.
Theirfirstmajor project has been to tackle
the problem of pay-per-print. According to
David Alimi, vice president offinance,A.S.
feels this policy is unfair and inconvenient.
However, they realized quickly that they
had no power to change the policy itself at
this time because of a separate contract between the school and IKON. As an alternative, they are working on instituting a
"computer work station program."
Through this program, GSUSM would
become a vendor of reasonably priced computers. Two systems would be offered, one
for less than $900, to interested students.
Even the less expensive system would have
all the components needed for students to
complete assignments. They come with a
four-year warranty. Just about the length of
a student's career.
Alimi and the rest of A.S. hope this can
be an alternative to constantly being at the
mercy of the school's computer rules and
costs. It would also be an excellent investment, he said.
Not only does A.S. have a budget now,
but they have someone to help them make
Parking problems persist at
Cal. State San Marcos
by Helen Dahlstrom
r | l o say the campus paiking situation
I is more challenging than ever this
J L fall is somewhat of an understatement. With enrollment up by 400 this fall
and no additional spaces to be had, it has
become downright frustrating to most students.
According to the Office of Enrollment
Services, CSUSM enrollment this semester is 4,647, up from 4,233 last fall. There
also are 700 faculty and staff members.
Paiking is limited to 1,399 spaces in student lots, 350 in faculty and staff lots, and
64 spaces for the disabled... a total of 1,813
spots. But more than 3,000 parking permits
have been issued this semester.
Some students have managed to develop
new coping strategies. One is to arrive earlier. Angie Boswell, senior majoring in social science, says she "deliberately takes a
7:30 a.m. class in order to avoid the parking problem on campus."
Other students have been forced to prowl
the lanes in the parking lot, waiting to catch
someone leaving.
But it's not just students who are frustrated. Spanish professor Miguel Zapata
complains that the overflow from the student lots is now impacting the faculty lot.
"I ask my students if anyone is parked in
the staff lot, and I know some that have already been ticketed," he adds.
Some students blame university officials.
Aldene Yeo, a junior majoring in liberal
studies, says, "They need to reassess their
current parking lots versus their enrollment."
Dr. Alexander Gonzalez, interim CSUSM
president, acknowledges that parking is; a
critical issue. At a Sept. 18 forum, he noted
that the university is "looking into alternatives, such as using the Palomar Pomerado
Health Services (PPHS) parking lot for
overflow, until funding can be made available for new lot construction."
There are "glimmers of hope," however,
the most of it. Darlene Willis has been
added as the executive director of the A.S.
Willis comesfromCal State Hayward and
is hailed as a powerful asset by all in the
A.S. H erjob is to act as middleperson between the A.S. and the administration.
When problems arise, Wilis will be there
to help A.S. (and as a result, all CSUSM
students) get their voice heard and be taken
seriously.
Wilis is concentrating right now on getting the accounting fee lowered for A.S. If
this happens, they will have more of the
money we pay them to work with. That
means more events on campus, more speakers, and more funds for important projects
like child care and sports.
The A.S. looks like it's beginning to win
already. And that means, ultimately, results for all CSUSM students.
according to Dora Knoblock, assistant to
the director of Public Safety Services. Plans
for the spring semester include using the
PPHS lot for overflow, with shuttle service
to the main campus. Shuttles also are
planned from student lots 106 and 10. An
incentive car-pool program will be introduced next semester.
Long-term solutions include the construction of two new parking lots with a total of
600 additional spaces. Construction is
scheduled to begin in the summer of 1998,
with completion scheduled for the following fall.
In the meantime, Parking Services is
keeping enforcement to a minimum, even
including abstaining from ticketing red
zones on some peak days.
Knoblock said thefirstfour weeks of each
semester normally is the worst time for
parking overflow. But this year, she added
that peak period could be extended since
both the number of visitors and concurrent
Palomar students have increased.
"With the younger student population, we
are seeing more parents visiting the campus for the first time, and many students at
Palomar are unaware that the North County
Transit District now has bus service to
CSUSM," she added.

HE
Maybe you can find out during the
university'sfirst-everCareer Week, Oct.69.
Representatives from health services,
business and finance, science and technology and education willl>e on campus.
"Each day is tailored to represent one industry," said Sandra Punch, director of the
CSUSM Career Center. 'The events scheduled for each day are much more involved
than educating students on how tofindjobs
in their field of interest"
On Oct. 7th, Business and Finance Day,
she added, "There will be opportunities to
network with professionals in a variety of
fields through 'Making Connections' night,
where students can have employers and professionals critique their resumes, and learn
what they specifically look for in an employee"
The four industries represented during
Career Week will offer workshops on how
applicants can market themselves on paper. Speakers, including CSUSM alumni,
will offer advice and hints.
For students interested in further study
programs, there is a workshop Oct. 9th on
graduate and professional schools. More
than 51 such institutions including some
from out of state and even out of country
will be represented. The fields these programs will cover include chiropractic medicine, social work, dental, psychology, and
law.
The Career Center also offers a mock test
to help prepare those students interested in
post-graduate study.
Oct 6 is Health and Human Services Day,
including a workshop on "Careers in the
Gerontologyfield."A panel of professionals will be on hand from noon to 1 p.m. to
answer specific questions.
Oct. 8 is Science and Technology Day,
including a workshop on how to search for
a job via the Internet.
The CSUSM Career center is making
every effort to get the word out about Career Week. A counselorfromthe center will
be available at a table in the Dome each
school day until Oct 6 to answer questions
about the week. A full calendar of events
can be picked up either at the center or at
the Dome table.
"Please come by and ask us questions,"
urged Punch. "We are here for you." "This
is a fantastic opportunity for students."
Efficiency is key to library's
success
by Debbie holderby
"TT ooks can be deceiving. Take the camI
pus library, for example, which on
K Jibe surface appears small, but operates with peak efficiency.
Walking into it for thefirsttime, you may
be surprised at the lack of space.
Indeed, its staff members say they often
get phone calls from putside researchers,
asking for material. The callers, they add,
are usually surprised tofindthat CSUSM's
library is so small. "Aren't you a university?" they ask, expecting a far bigger facility.
When the campus first opened, the
library's location was to be temporary. But,
as time passed and plans for a new facility
were put on hold, it became semi-perm anent and its space needs began to outgrow
its physical limitations.
Originally, the library was intended to be
totally electronic, with no books, periodicals, or paper. But, when studies indicated
the goal of no hard copy was impractical, it
was back to the drawing board. Plans for
construction of a new home for the library
are currently being reviewed.
But things are not always what they seem,
and the library is no exception.
While it lacks physical space, the need
for services has created innovative ways of
getting the job done. According to staff
member Judith Downie, the library operates "lean, but not mean."
Because of the lack of space, what's available must be utilized as efficiently as possible.
The staff puts a high priority on service
to faculty and students and, thanks to such
high tech tools as Lexis/Nexis and the electronic catalog system, manages tofindwhat
most patrons need.
"There is no such thing as a stupid
question,"Downie says, "So ask!"
Those unsure of how to use the library
system are invited to make appointments
with its staff members, who can provide
half-hour, personalized instruction on how
to use its resources. Students are encouraged to do so.
There also is a suggestion box, located at
the front desk, and all comments are periodically evaluated. Results of such reviews
are posted on the bulletin board near the
exit.
Hung jury on The Dome cafeteria
by Kristina Seth
f I the thumbs have spoken! The verdict:
I up for the variety of new pizza of
fered in the Dome cafeteria, but
down for its higher prices and mixed on its
taste.
The new Delia Suprema Pizza from Aztec Shops has replaced thatfromPizza Hut,
a campus staple in the past. Why the switch
to apparently more costly fare? Cafeteria
officials refused a request for an interview
by The Pride, but Laura Gropen, marketing director for
Aztec Shops,
provided a few
suggestions.
Gropen also contended that the
new pizza is actually a bargain.
Aztec Shops
pizza costs $1.79
for an 8-ounce
vegetarian pizza
(without cheese),
$1.89 f or one
with cheese, $2.19 for one with pepperonbi
and $2.29 for a Hawaiian.
That compares favorably with last year's
Pizza Hut price of $2.39 for a 9-inch slice,
Gropen said, adding that Pizza Hut planned
to raise its price to "well over $3."
"Our goal is to offer students the highest
quality product at the lowest price," she
said. ' The perception that the
price of the ne w
Bella Suprema
Pizza is higher
than the Pizza
H ut's is a
misperception.
Our gourmet
pizza is made
with three high
quality California
brand -nirfn nmijjctftror«jfjtugj».jilujgjfrii
cheeses: realskin mozzarella, jack and Cheddar. The ham
and pepperoni is fresh Hormel meat. The
tomatoes arefreshcut daily, and the dough
is preparedfresh.The sauce is Heinz pizza
sauce."
Unfortunately, the jury is still out on"
Gropen's contention. Most students interviewed rated taste more consequential than
nutrition. Of 25 interviewed, only six liked
the new pizza's taste. "Yuck!" was a common comment. "It was cold and it doesn't
taste near as good as Pizza Hut's," said one
student
A Ramonafreshmanagreed: "The cheese
had a weirdflavor,"he said. "It tasted like
EMAIL: pridc@maiIhostl.csusm.cdu
the inside of a freezer."
A minority of those interviewed disagreed. "I love it!" said one. "I was going
through pizza withdrawal over the summer."
More students were excited about the new
House of Tsang assorted rice bowls, which
range in price from 99 cents for steamed
rice to $3.59 for steak and chicken bowls.
Vegetable bowls as well as fried rice with
no meat cost $2.49. By contrast, the Dome's
own steamed
white rice costs
79 cents.
"Students
were
upset
when we ran
out of the rice
b owls," said
one Dome employee. "They
are very popular. We had no
mswro*
P oo b Kiiiitina Seth idea they would
ht* y
be in so much
demand."
Some 20 of the 25 students interviewed
liked the chicken and steak bowls. The
steamedricedrew some criticism for being
too sticky. "We're talking so sticky you
couldn't even see the individual pieces of
rice," complained one. "It was just an undefined mass of white stuff."
But, countered another,
"Sticky rice is
only bad if you
don't like it that
way. In some
cultures the
stickier the rice,
the better. In
China, for example, they like
sticky rice."
The price of
the rice bowls
was a different matter. "What are we paying so much for?" asked one student. "Rice
is one of the least expensive foods you can
buy!"
In addition, new foods in the Dome include nachos for $1.99 and a pasta plate
for $2.49, available at the grill for order
behind the sandwich bar.
Gropan said Aztec Shops is conscious of
the growing desire for more vegetarian fare.
Currently, the only truly new offerings are
the veggie pizza and rice bowl.
When the cafeteria first opened, it offered
only pre-wrapped sandwiches and salads
and canned sodas.

�Evening students left out
by Sharon Hambly
• e vening students are required to pay
| H $20 in student health fees for benJ — / e f i t s that are difficult if not impossible to obtain.
And while the class booklet states that
the health services are available to all
CSUSM students,
the
health center's
days and hours
are Monday
through Friday, closing at
5 p.m. No
evening hours
or weekend
services are offered. The center is not located on the
campus but at
the Palomar
Pomerado
building across
the street in Suite 100.
Executive Order 637 requires that the university system provide health services and
also determines what constitutes health services.
Executive Order 661 gives the Board of
Trustees the authority to govern the fees.
The campus president implements how
these fees can be changed. The general
funding is then based on the student population.
Currently, CSUSM has the lowest fee in
the state university system. Other universities are charging $70 a semester.
Dr. Nicholson, director of health services
since June 1996, said he does
not have the staff for extended hours. One
medical doctor, two part-time nurse practitioners and two psychiatrists work at the
center*
Evening students have complained about
lack of evening services. The health center
then attempted to extend their hours, but
because of lack of use the extra hours were
discontinued.
Many students are mandated to pay the
health fee even though they have their own
health insurance.
Here is a review of the health services:
-all services are confidential
-urgent care offered during regular hours
-general medical care by physician or
nurse practitioner
-pharmacy service-prescriptions filled at
very low cost
-routine immunizations
-TB testing
-allergy injections
-radiology services
-anonymous HIV testing with pre- and
post-test counseling
-individual counseling for nutrition, cholesterol reduction, smoking cessation, family planning.
The above-mentioned services are needed
by many of our students, many of which
attend school at night and are thus unable
to recieve those services. Many believe that
these services should be available to all students. This would mean that the hours
would have to be more flexible.
And for those students who have their
own health plans, there should be an exemption, some students argue.
Death of LSU
student raises
questions
an active member of the fraternity.
Leonard said when he initially heard of
the death he was skeptical that the fraternity was to blame. The drinking allegedly
was part of the acceptance process, he
added. Leonard said he believes it was pait
of a bid celebration and the "allegation of
forced drinking [was] untrue." He added
that manyfraternitymembers are big drinkers before they join.
Kevin Owens, president of SAE at
CSUSM, maintains the fraternity already
takes matters of safety seriously. Owens
pointed out that during parties the fraternity has designated drivers, wristbands to
indicate partygoers of legal drinking age,
and security to "control the scene."
Owens added SAE annually elects a risk
management officer, currently held by
Winnjay Delacruz. Among other things, it
is the responsibility of theriskmanagement
officer to remain sober and ensure that
partygoers do not go overboard when drinking, Owens stated.
Owens and Delacruz both stated their

A
20-year-old student died last

JLJL during pledge week at Louisiana
State University.
Benjamin Wynne was hospitalized with
a blood alcohol-level of .588 after campus
police discovered him at the Sigma Alpha
Epsilon fraternity house, according to the
San Diego Union Tribune. The fraternity's
national office later suspended the LSU
chapter pending IUI investigation.
Though SAE at CSUSM has not felt any
major repercussions from the death, national did warn them to "tighten up on risk
management/' according to James Leonard,

"W" T a v e you neglected your foreign lanI I guage graduation requirements for
J L JLthis long?
CSUSM and Palomar College offer many
types of programs for CSU students to study
abroad. The programs rangefromtwo shoit
weeks to a full academic year and most require at least a 2.5 GPA.
'The respect I gained for Italy combined
with the educational experience of Europe
as well as gaining a deeper respect for my
own country was intriguing and forever
memorable," said one student.
The CSU system-wide programs are affiliated with more than 70 institutions in
17 countries. Whether your desire is to fulfill your foreign studies or pursue another
field of study, both colleges have specialized programs to accommodate your needs.
Whether you wish to learn French in

belief that the bartender who served Wynne
was responsible for the death. Delacruz
mentioned he worked as a bartender at one
time, adding that when you knew someone
had too much to drink, "you would cut them
off."
Owens said it is illegal to drink during
rush, and as far as the role of alcohol in
theirfraternity,it is "part of celebration, not
a major part."
Though all might classify the death of
the student a tragedy, students at CSUSM
disagree on where the ultimate responsibility lies.
"Obviously in a situation like that peer
pressure plays a major role; however, you
and you alone are responsible for your own
decisions and actions," said Rebecca
Brown, a student of the credential program
at CSUSM.
Michelle Stuki, a senior at CSUSM,
said, "Some of the responsibility has to lie
on the bar for serving someone underage."
One student said, "Some real attention
should be paid in this case and some serious questions should be asked. Number
one, does the fraternity condone the consumption of alcohol by its underage members? And if so, what steps are taken to ensure the safety of the individuals who do
so?"
While some programs are geared toward
learning a language, most allow students
to pursue their majors because students are
integrated into the life of another culture.

to study in a non-English speaking country.
One student who experienced an academic year in France said," After living in
France for afewmonths, I felt comfortable
and the first place I traveled to beyond
France was Germany."
She continued to explain how she felt a
little estranged or awkward not knowing
German. While riding the train back to
France, "I realized I could understand what
people were saying again and that, alone,
made me feel at home."
Whereas this CSUSM student studied
abroad for an academic year, other programs consist of two weeks or a month.
Another fellow student went to Mexico
this summer and she felt that she "learned
more being immersed in the culture and living with a Spanish-speaking family versus
strictly classroom courses taught by teachers who spoke her native language."
"CSU students are especially fortunate because they have a wide range of system^
wide study abroad programs available to
them at extremely low costs," said Pam Bell,
the CSU IP coordinator. Financial aid is
available to students who qualify and the
costs vary depending upon the country and
type of program selected.
If you still find yourself asking why,
where, or how long you should
go, attend a study abroad meeting listed
below and ask questions. Students and faculty who studied in different countries will
be delighted to answer and advise you according to your specific desires and needs.
The meetings will be held in COMMONS

at a University the consumer
and the product are the same, namely, the

provider in a deep way. Unlike other things
we buy, our education is full of mystery and
surprises, many of which may not emerge
for years. Unlike the plumber and the cable

calls for considerable faith on our parts.
Which is to say that if you really want to

strongly recommend that you cultivate a deliberate openness of heart and mind Nowhere is this more true than in your relationships with your faculty (even your GE
faculty). The relationship that might develop between a professor and a student is
the secret treasure of the University experience. It is unpredictable. You don't know

exact nature will be. We have often heard,
over the years, the story of a student who
chose a whole new major and career because some professor, in an elective course,
simply blew the student's mind and gave
the student the sense that s/he was remarkable.
More alumni than you can imagine are
where they are because they discovered this
particular treasure.
We would venture to say that potentially,
such unexpected treasures are here for each
of you, waiting for you to discover them.
We wonder what would happen if each of
you completely believed that this was true:
completely believed, as you drove to campus every day, or picked out your classes
each semester, that there was certainty
going to be at least one professor that was
going to be the one for you, the one whose
mind you'd feel you just had to get to know
as completely as possible and who'd be interested in cultivating yours in return. What
kind of attitude about the University would
come from belief like that?
CAPS offers a quiet, confidential space
for students to talk about any concerns or
interests, personal or academic, at no
charge for CSUSM students. We also like
to help students cultivate good attitudes
about themselves and their education! We

but by the students as well. "A university is not just the bricks and mortar, that's
just the physical part, and that's not the university. The university is the people
in it. The students here have afreshnessand vitality in them that is unusual to
me."
Likewise, Gonzalez is impressed with the faculty's talents and would like to
develop opportunities for those talents to fully mature.
So, what is a university president is responsible for? He's our Leader: the
university 's operations andfiscalmanager who is also responsible for the
university's growth and conduct.
He is both a philosophical and academic leader who provides direction and help to faculty, students, staff and community to fulfill their potential while at this institution. Pretty impressive
stuff!

He wants to talk with students, andremember,he is

he's new on campus and eating alone is a drag.
How will you know him, you ask. He has a presence about him. You'll just know he's not a returning student (Hp: He's the one in the dry-cleaned

but very solid and wears glasses. But therealgiveaway is his gray mustache, which stands out from
his dark hair. You really can't miss him!

For most of us, we wouldn't dream of interrupting their busy schedules; besides, what would we say to them? What are we supposed to
say to them? "Hello, there, and just what do you do here?"
I recently met with CSUSM's new interim president, Dr. Alexander
Gonzalez, and wondered what topics I should ask him about.
Myfirstfear was that I wouldn't be able to understand his
"academese," regardless of the topic.
You know, the institutional language found in
academic and medical journals: "Better evaluation of responses to treatment modalities depends on the standardization of an index allowing accurate descriptions of learning disorder behaviors" (Style, Fifth Edition, p. 4).
Say what? If Dr. Gonzalez talked like that, I
was in big trouble.
I'm happy to report that Gonzalez speaks in
plain and simple language, just like you and
me. And when I asked the question, "Just what
do you do here?" without hesitation he said,
"To quote Harry S. Truman, 'The buck stops
here.'" There you have it in a nutshell.
In many ways, Gonzalez faced the same
questions and fears that anyone would experience at the onset of a new semester or new
job. The question, "Will I fit in and be accepted by the others?" is a realityforall of us,
including college presidents. He wondered if
he would be accepted by the faculty and staff
as well as by students and the community.
By the end of his first official day, Gonzalez was impressed not only with the faculty, to him, you might start with W E L C ^ T O CSUSM?00'1

Binge drinking down in
America: Except among
college students
by College Press Service
WASHINGTON—Heavy drinking is
down in America, except for one notable
place: college campuses.
That's according to a report from the
National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and
Alcoholism, which calls birige drinking
"a widespread problem" on college
campuses despite a decline in alcohol use
among the general population.
In 1994,40 percent of college students
reported binge drinking at least once
within the previous two weeks of being
surveyed, according to the triennial
report. The NIAAA defines "binge
drinking" as consuming five or more
drinks at one sitting.
Gender seems to play a significant role
in terms of binge drinking, with 52
percent of college men reporting such
drinking as compared to 31 percent of
women.
Across the board, nearly 70 percent of
college students said they drank alcohol
at least once a month and about 4 percent
said they drank daily, the study found.
The report calls thefindingsfor college
students "quite high" in light of a decline
in drinking among high school seniors.
The authors suggest that college students,
who report drinking less in high school
than non-college-bound seniors, may be
"catching up" and possibly surpassing
their peers not in college.
The NIAAA, which has compiled
previous studies on alcohol consumption,
blames campuses for promoting a
"culture of drinking" and praises alternatives such as alcohol-free parties.
Among the general population, alcohol
use hit a 30 year low in 1993, after
peaking during the 1980s. Increased
health concerns, less tolerant attitudes
toward drinking, and stricter laws against
drinking and driving are possible reasons
for the change, the NIAAA said.
More information on the NIAAA's
"Ninth Special Report to the U.S.
Congress on Alcohol and Health" is
available at the agency's website:

Governor expected to approve
a bill to cut student fees
T f Governor Pete Wilson approves a bill passed by the State Legislature,
J LCSU students can expect afivepercent reduction in fees beginning in the
fall of 1998. The reduction, whichWilson reportedly supports, would trim
CSU fees to $1,504 a year from the current $1,584. Community college
fees such as those at Palomar and Mira Costa would also drop from $l3"to
$12. The cuts would apply only to state residents. Under the bill, introduced
by Assemblyman Denise Moreno Ducheny, D-San Diego, the state would
reimburse schools for the reduced fees. Thus, while students pay less, their
colleges would not lose money. CSU spokesman Ken Swisher said the bill
includes $19.4 million to refund to the universities that reduse their fees.

JAZZ PHOTO EXHIBIT
OPENS OCT. 10 AT
CSUSM
M
ichael Oletta is a professional photographer with a passion for jazz. And since
the seventies, he has documented that passion
by photographing some of the jazz world's legends as they immerse themselves into the musical magic. Starting October 10, a selection
of these photographs will be on display at California State University, San Marcos in an exhibit entitled, "Moments Noticed: The Jazz Musician at Work."
The exhibit opens with a reception complete
with a jazz trio Wednesday, Oct. 10, 3 p.m. in
the library courtyard and continues through
Nov. 30 in the library during regular hours of
operation. The public is invited and admission is free.
"In between the requirements of being a professional photographer/' says Oletta, "I find
myself luiking behind my favorite lens, in corners and behind curtains of any jazz venue or
festival accessible to me. Call it passion or
hobby, there is something very satisfying about
capturing the moments that make up the spontaneous communications and improvisation
that we call jazz."
Oletta says he prefers to shoot with black and
white film. "I've found that colorfilmsnatches
the reality from these images and can distract
from the emotion of the moment."

Dear Editor:
This is a letter to the person who left an informative booklet on my car at the end of last semester. This booklet was a condemnation of homosexuality. It described in detail what the bible
says about being homosexual and the punishments
that should be inflicted. It tries to condemn homosexuality by quoting the words of God. Of
course this works only if you have not taken the
literature class, The Bible as Literature, where
one would learn that the bible was written by men
who believed they were writing God's words.
Whilst I might be grateful for your concern for
my immortal soul, I have to point out that if you
are going to target someone to see things your
way, you have to learn the correct symbols. The
symbol on my car does not identify me as gay,
although if I was I would not try to change it just
to please you. No, my symbol declarestiiatI am
a member of Alcoholics Anonymous. Try and
correctly identify your targets otherwise you
could have some very irate gay people wrongly
accused of being alcoholic and that just won't do!

To my fellow students,
On Hiesday, September 23td, I left a red 3 W
disk in the computer lab, room 202. It had a label with file names listed, but not my name.
When I checked the lost/found box it was not
turned in by the person who found it in the computer or, if found and put in the losl/found box,
was taken by someone else.
This disk has my class notes from BUS 305
and an assignment for BUS 304. It also has personal business letters, which I need to follow up.
I respectfully request that you return the disk
to me. If you have looked at thefileson the disk
you will have discovered my home address on
the letters. Please show a sense of decency and
honesty and mail the disk to my home address.
Sincerely,
