Convocation Ushers in Second "Decade of Excellence"

student body, saying "students are
the reason for this university."
Calling President Gonzalez his
"friend," Delawari made the final
introduction. The president spoke
at length about the past and future
of CSUSM, citing the Tenth Year
Anniversary as his reason for
doing so. The highlight of his
speech committed the future of the
university to the students, saying
that in the past, "we too often lost
sight of the student." He dedicated
the second decade to a "vision of
student achievement and success."
Dr. Miriam schustack addresses convocation.
Every year faculty, staff,
students, and community members gather together for the kick
off to the new academic year. In
what can be compared to a U.S.

address, CSUSM President
Alexander Gonzalez made his
Convocation address for 19992000 on August 23, 1999 at the
California Center for the Arts,
Escondido.
All were treated to a continental breakfast and mingled
freely awaiting President
Alexander Gonzalez' third annual
address which starts off the new
academic year. CSUSM President
Alexander Gonzalez was available
for comment before his speech.
He acknowledged both his hopes
for the future of CSUSM and the
ongoing strain that exists between
faculty, staff, and the student body.
Dr. Miriam Schustack,
Department of Psychology, introduced new faculty and staff and
acknowledged outstanding teachers in the local community in an
opening speech. She also spoke
about the groundbreaking that will
herald the building of both the
Science II structure and the new
Arts structure. ASI president
Waleed Delawari spoke enthusiastically about the strength of the
The cheerful atmosphere
of the event, however, was compromised by what President
Gonzalez dubbed the "dark side"
of the past. Schustack cautioned
the audience to "fight challenges,
not each other." The president
noted that communication must
improve between "the organization and the faculty." He outlined
specific goals for improving the
existing condition of strife, including upholding the values of "community and integrity."
Moving beyond in-house
problems, the president indicated
that last year's lower-than-expected enrollment kept the university
from receiving a budget increase
from the Chancellor. He ended his

Dynamite Shakes Campus Daily

Is it the "Big One?"
First day of class. Students sit
nodding at their desks, enjoying the lull
that follows lunch and a busy morning.
Suddenly, three long, shrill siren screams
break the silence, and a blast sounds. The
FCB building rocks violently, exactly as
if an earthquake of Richter scale proportions has hit California. I grab my desk
and wail, "What was that? I" A student
from the middle of the room glances at
the clock hanging on the wall and in a

agreed to excavate the land behind the
FCB building and the upper faculty lot to
"building-pad height." In return, the
company moves truckloads of granite—
in high demand at this time—that it
blasts just yards away from our classrooms.
Minor Inconveniences
Despite dynamite blasts and
ringing sirens signaling the explosions,
Decker says that inconveniences to students and faculty will be kept to a minimum. Decker does not anticipate a need
to evacuate the buildings adjacent to the

PROFESSOR FUNES REMEMBERED
By Leiana Naholowaa
PRIDE EDITOR
Friends and family gathered on a
recent Saturday morning to celebrate the
life of Don Funes, CSUSM Professor of
Visual Arts. As they made their way to
the Library courtyard, they were greeted
by a bamboo flutist whose music echoed
across the deserted campus. Funes' battle
with cancer ended on July 3, 1999.
Many "Don Stories" were shared
by those who knew him best—his wife
Carolyn, and Nico Israel, the Funes family spokesperson. Relatives from such faraway places as Boston, Idaho, and
Victoria B.C. shared warm moments with
faculty, staff, students, and friends.
Dr. Victor Rocha, Dean of Arts
and Sciences, spoke of the great efforts
Funes made in making the upcoming Arts
building a reality. Funes' commitment to
the arts is seen in his belief that "the soul
of the institution is in the arts."
Funes worked with a variety of
traditions ranging from African,
Indonesian, and Andean music. His presence at San Marcos made concerts at
local high schools possible. His dedication to the arts extended to a passionate
support for a rich collection of library
books and CDs that seek to go beyond the
Eurocentric model.

Dear Everyone
Hi! I am the psyche fairy. I
will try to help you with
your questions and problems about whatever issues
you have. Now, I am not a
"licensed" psyche fairy, I'm
just an apprentice right now.
But, as you know, those
apprentices do a lot of good
work in their training. I will
do my best to be considerate
of your personal cultures
and hope that you may keep
an open mind and heart as
well. Compassion is always
the best place to start and
move to solutions from
there. With that said, let's
learn from others' psyches
and have fun in the process.
My love and wishes for a
productive and happy
semester with many new
experiences,
Psyche Fairy
Dear Psyche Fairy,
I met this lady in class and I
think she is lesbian. What is
a polite way to ask?
- Josh, 27
Josh, why do you care, really? If she is, she won't be
asking you for a date. If you
are attracted to her then you
can compliment her and ask
her if she would like to
accompany you somewhere.
If that seems too bold, then
connect with her as a study
partner and inevitably the
conversation will drift off
the subject during which
time you can make your
advance. If she accepts,
then you have a date and she
just might be straight
enough to develop a
romance with you. If not,
then she might either be
uninterested in you or
maybe she is a lesbian. In
both of these cases, then her
sexuality is really not relevant to your situation. If
you are gay and you are trying to connect with some
"family" then wear something that is identifiable
as a symbol of the gay/lesbian/bi/trans community. If
she wishes to connect with
you and share she will likely comment on this and
there you go. If you are
merely interested to satisfy
your urge to box her up as a
"nice little lesbian" then forget about it. In this case,
spend your time figuring
out what it is that urges you
so and why any answer
would be valuable. Pretend
you found out through gossip that she is a lesbian.
What then? Do you treat
her as a bulldyke (as if there
is one appropriate way to
treat such a person)? If you
are attracted to her, then
mention it and good luck
from there.

Dear Psyche Fairy,
My girlfriend told me that
she'd like to experiment
with sex toys, but I'm not
comfortable with the idea.
What should I do?
- Unsigned
You don't need to feel comfortable with the IDEA, you
just need to be comfortable
with the toys, unless you are
going for a little pain sensation. Try them out and
indulge her fantasies. You
may really enjoy it and
expand your sexual awareness of pleasure in the
process. Why are you so
resistant? The toys won't
hurt you by themselves, so
don't be afraid. Who
knows? You may soon have
a new favorite "toy" around
the house. Remember that
your ideas may change and
they might not bother you
anymore. Just be careful,
because the psyche fairy
knows that some toys can be
harmful if used improperly.
Also, some toys can be of
such great size that it is
nearly impossible to use
them safely.
Be good to your body, but
pleasure it as you do your
mind. You go to the cinema
for some mind stimulation,
so go to the local sex shop
and find new ways to stimuIf you have any question or late your body as well. And

S TUDENT S AVER O F T HE W EEK
k
T he D eep Blue 5 ea
The first movie we went to see and
review this semester
was DEEP BLUE SEA.
The plot was S.O.S. and
the acting was bland
except when LL Cool J
made us laugh uproariously. The main thing I
went to see this movie
for, of which it delivered quite well, were
those seat poppers you
get when something
unexpected happens so
suddenly (like when a
45 foot shark swims up,
bites a man in half, and
swims off...all in 0.85
milliseconds). The
movie also had a philosophical/moral quirk
surrounding the issue of
altering the shark's
genetic code in order to
produce more of a substance that would cure
Alzheimer's Disease.
This substance is produced in small quantities in the brain of a normal shark. Since the
scientists were total
nitwits, they decided
that a shark with a bigger brain would produce
more of the substance
and thus genetically
altered the DNA of the
shark to get a bigger
brain. Simple logic
would follow that a
larger brain means that
the creature would have
a greater capacity to
learn and would therefore be "smarter." This
oversight goes to prove
that just because the scientists have extremely
high I.Q.'s doesn't mean
that they use that lump
of mashed potatoes to
make their decisions.
Of course with the
sharks being smarter
they manage to really
mess up the floating lab
in which they are being
held, forcing the surviving inhabitants to desperately claw their way
back to the surface, all
the while fighting for
their lives. Oddly
enough, I found myself
cheering for the shark
towards the end of the
film. I wanted so badly
for it to tear a particular
character in the movie
asunder violently. It did
of course, thus punishing the demented scientist who messed with its
DNA, which satiated
my lust for the extermination of the worst character in the movie.
Definitely go see this
film if you have someone you'd like to hold
onto or you get a kick
out of jumping bodily
from your seat while
your heart skips a beat.
If you get the chance, go
see it in the theater. If
you wait for it on video,
make sure you watch it
late at night with all the
lights off in order to
preserve the aura of the
film and get your couple of bucks entertainment out of it.
All date offers, love letters, or messages of a
positive nature can be
sent to:
csusmovies@hotmail.com
, where they will be
read, cherished and
answered as fast as I can
get to them. All hate
mail can be sent to the
same address and they
will be read when I feel
like it, then laughed at,
and summarily deleted
to electronic mail oblivion.

Big changes in Parking
Sycience. WIoodward Arts Complex Break Ground
I and
b Cynthia C
STAFF WRITER J &HL M M C *
Big changes are coming for students, faculty, and
staff in the parking lot this
semester. We now have parking
fees for autos increasing from
$54.00 per semester to $62.00
per semester. Motorcycles took
a harder hit with a fee increase
from $13.50 per semester to a
whopping $30.00.
Dora
Knoblock, Parking Services
Coordinator at CSUSM stated,
"Parking Services is a totally
self supporting entity, we do not
receive any state funding."
Why were the parking
fees increased? To pay back
bonds for the existing parking
lots, according to Knoblock.
New, solar powered, yellow
ticket machines are in place in
all the lots now, at a cost of over
$60,000. She also notes that
when comparing fees at other
CSU campuses, San Marcos'
parking fees were one of the
lowest in the system.
Robert Williams,
office manager, stated, "We are
working to incorporate alternative modes of transportation."
New bicycle storage units will
replace the old ones this semester. Other plans include spaces
for car pools in both the student
and faculty parking lots.
Additionally, a possible agreement with North County Transit
District (NCTD) is in negotiations to offer bus passes at a
reduced rate for students.
Parking Services is
back on campus with a new
location in FCB 107A.
Welcome Week hours are 8am7pm. Normal business hours
will be from 8am-5pm. It is
their hope that with their relocation back on campus, the addition of new parking signage,
and a new parking kiosk in the
top lot, they will generate more
of a one on one service for students, staff, and visitors.

OBITUARIES
Donald J. Funes,
Professor of Music and Director
of Andean Music, died of cancer
at his home July 3. He was 60
years old. Don began his career
thirty-seven years ago in
Washington State. In the 1970s,
he established the Life Electronic
Music Ensemble at the Crane
School of Music in Potsdam,
New York. Later, he became
chair of the School of Music at
Northern Illinois University. It
was at NIU that he began his
research in and performance of
Andean music, a labor of love
that he communicated far and
wide.
Don joined the faculty
of CSUSM in 1990. He was the
founding member of the Visual
and Performing Arts program,
and the vision he shared with his
colleagues still defines and
guides the program. In addition,
Don also led the early development of the General Studies program, another enduring legacy.
All who worked with him gained
immeasurably from the experience. He will always be in the
hearts and minds of everyone
here at the University. Don is survived by his wife, Carolyn, and
two sons, Michael and Matthew.
Former State Senator
William A. Craven, who spearheaded the work to establish
California State University, San
Marcos, died July 11. He was 78
years old. Senator Craven represented our
Senatorial district from 1978 until August of
1998. For nearly 20 years, he
worked to establish the need for a
CSU campus in the rapidly growing North County region. In
1988, his senate bill, SB360,
created the initial legislation to
found CSU San Marcos. Senator
Craven was part of the historic
bill signing at the temporary
campus on September 1, 1989
that created the 20** campus of
the CSU system.
During his remaining
years in the Senate, Craven
remained a good friend to the
university, particularly in getting
bond issues to ballot to assist the
growing campus. Six months
ago, at his request, his family
donated $250,000 of unspent
political action funds from his
campaigns to scholarships for
needy CSU San Marcos students.
His scholarship fund will be used
for needy student-athletes.

Barbara Ann Mosiej
Pender, a CSUSM employee and
member of the campus' first
graduating class, passed away at
the age of 49 on June 26. In her
eight-year fight against breast
cancer, she became an activist in
its early detection and research
and was an inspiration to many
women and men coping with this
disease. During her lifetime, she
was a devoted and loving daughter, mom, grandma, sister, niece
and friend.
As a CSUSM student,
Barbara worked as an assistant
for Carolyn Mahoney in the
Math and Science Department
from 1990-1992. Mahoney
described Barbara as a "fine student and good role model" and
acknowledged her many achievements while at CSUSM. Barbara
became a full-time staff member
here in 1992. She was actively
involved as the Project Director
for the highly successful
Academic Math and Science
Summer Camp held every summer at CSU San Marcos from
1992-1996. She is survived by
her mother, Elizabeth L. Mosiej;
children Tamara Mosiej, Andrea

Mosiej; and sister Mary Amari,
all of Oceanside.
early December. The sites will be
fenced from the public during
construction, and should cause
little or no inconvenience to students in regard to either parking
or accessibility to the campus.
The Science II building
and the Arts Complex will be
constructed concurrently and are
due for completion in 2002.
University Hall, the most recently
completed building on the campus, was finished in a little over a
year and a half. Russ Decker,
Construction, explained that the
Science II and Arts buildings
have "more complicated space
and ventilation" concerns than
University Hall, due to the need
to construct labs and theaters.
Science II is designed to
house physics, biology and chemistry labs, some computer and
math labs, a greenhouse, and a
small number of classrooms.
In contrast, the Arts
Complex will accommodate a
250-seat auditorium as well as
two theaters and space for classrooms and rehearsals. One theater
is designed to seat 150 and will
accommodate a large proscenium
stage, while the other will be a
"black box" theater that will
allow for flexible seating and
staging.

46 Students Receive Laptops
By Leiana Naholowaa PRIDE EDITOR
What's even better than
unlimited Internet access on
campus? For forty-six students,
it's the thrill of owning a laptop
computer. As part of the Leonard
Evers scholarship, freshmen in
financial need received gifts in
what is the most innovative and
uncommon program in the
nation. Students carried in their
portable computers to University
Hall 100 Tuesday, August 23,
1999, equipped to start off the
first semester. Support members
from Academic Computing were
on hand to connect each laptop
to the Campus Wide Information
System (CWIS) server. The
sophistication of Dell Pentium II
and Fujitsu laptops matched this
new generation of students who
have all grown up in an age of
computers.
Bill Craig who is one of
the main technical supports for
Academic Computing conducted
the training workshop by connecting his own laptop to a large
video screen. He walked the students through each campus operating system and spoke about the
school's home drive. Copies of
all work saved on this drive are
available for up to twelve weeks
in Computing Services. Craig
reassured students, "We'll be
able to get a copy of your homework for you if your laptop
crashes."
Paul Phillips, Director
of Financial Aid, remarked on
the great success of the program
that began last year. Of the first
fortyfreshmen,93% have registered again this fall. As agreed,
the three students who dropped
out returned their laptops to the
school. Those computers, in turn,
went to members of this year's
incoming freshman class.
Leonard Evers of
Templeton , California, the program's beneficiary, was an
accountant who left money in his
will for the school because he
wanted to help students. A large
portion of the $2.6 million gift
goes to increase EOP grant
awards as well as the widelyacclaimed computer scholars'
program. All funds for the grant
are invested so that only the
interest is spent. "Funds will be
available forever," Phillips further notes, "Your grandchildren
will be able to benefitfromthis."
If students in the Evers scholarship program make it successfully through their college career,
the computers are theirs to keep.

Introduction...
needs to turn analysis into action. A campus that fosters teamwork among students, but prizes autonomy over community. A place where no one trusts anyone
else to do their job, where redundant
review is seen as exhausting, but still necessary. An organization planning, and
often communicating, in silos. Acampus
that prizes responsiveness to student
needs, but one not fully prepared to commit to client-centered practices. An institution trying to be everything to everyone, rather than defining its distinctive
areas of competence. An academic enterprise reasonably sure of its success, but
with insufficient means to measure that
success. A faculty that hod each other to
very high standards, but with canstantly
shifting expectations and rewards that
don't seem to align with goals. These are
the shapes that emerge from the shadows
of the portrait of CSU San Marcos when
we choose to examine the darker side.
But, as Oscar Wilde wrote, "The truth is
rarely pure and never simple."
Jose Ortega y Gasset wrote
that "The choice of a point of view is the
initial act of a culture." During the first
decade at CSU San Marcos, what has
been our point of view and what culture
have we created? How many of us, in
coming to this campus, were able to adopt
the viewpoint of the student seeking an
education and services and to tailor our
work to ensure student success? I suspect
that in all our hard work to build programs and expertise, we too often lost
sight of the student. As we begin our second decade, I would like to suggest that
CSU San Marcos take the opportunity to
refocus its efforts on the point of view of
the students we serve. Once we begin

However, I've always had the question:
which part of the mission are you citing
to inform your work?
Our work so far in the visioning process has reminded us that there are
many inspiring phrases and ideas within
the current Mission Statement that we
want to continue to uphold. In fact, our
current values and mission drafts state
many of the same values and mission,
only in a more condensed form. Still, the
current mission statement is too broad; it
mixes our mission, vision, and values, as
well as goals and strategies to achieve the
mission. Refining the mission of the
University became one of myfirstpriorities when I came to this campus.
On the Chancellor's Office...
This next year of working and
planning will not be easy. As you all
know, this campus received basically a
flat budget over last year. Because we did
not meet our enrollment targets last fall,
the Chancellor's Office did not look
favorably on giving us additional funds
for enrollment growth this year. To
reframe their reaction within Tierney's
viewpoint, the Chancellor's Office did
not demonstrate confidence in our productivity and organizational performance. We may be achieving great results
in student learning—again, we don't
know enough about our success—but our
inability to demonstrate adequate enrollment growth given local demand, hampered our efforts to garner growth funds
from the CSU system.

Presidential Inauguration
Leiana Naholowaa PRIDE EDITOR
Dr. Alexander Gonzalez was
officially instated as California
State University, San Marcos's
secoiM president on Wednesday,
September 1,1999. The ceremony took place on a warm and sundrenched afternoon at the San
Marcos campus. Many distinguished guests, family, friends,
faculty, staff and students attended the event.
A processional march towards
a temporary stage, set up on the
lawn near University Hall, initiated t he everlt, a celebration
marked by more music, speeches, and pleasant, heartfelt congratulations.
Newly inaugurated President Gonzalez leads a concluding procession of
distinguished guests, faculty and staff.
San Marcos Mayor F.H.
"Corky" Smith spoke of the earlier days of the campus and presented a key to the city which
Gonzalez accepted on behalf of
the university. Congressman
Randy "Duke" Cunningham
offered his own good wishes to
Gonzalez and commended North
County's only federal depository
library. Francisco Gonzalez,
President Gonzalez's brother,
followed the distinguished political figures with a musical interlude entitled "Cuatros Milpas,"
which he played on the harp.
Gonzalez's hard decision to leave
Harvard Law School under the
enormous pressure of being one
of the first Mexican-Americans
accepted there.
One of the most poignant
moments came when Professor
Emeritus Elliot Aronson of the
University of California, Santa
Cruz, shared his recollections.
President Gonzalez described
Aronson a "mentor, teacher, and
friend."
Gonzalez eventually pursued a
master's and doctoral studies in
psychology at UC Santa Cruz
and contributed significantly to
his field. Although Gonzalez is
his only student to have become
president of a university*
Aronson praised Gonzalez particularly as a "wonderful teacher
and first-rate researcher."
Aronson charted President
Gonzalez's lifetime of struggle
and achievement — his childhood growing up in a rough part
of Los Angeles, his early days in
the Air Force and then working
as a truck driver before finally
attending community college.
CSU Chancellor Charles B.
Reed made the final and official
address which invested Dr.
Gonzalez as the second president
of the young and growing university.
Gonzalez would eventually
receive a history degree with
honors and election to Phi Beta
Kappa from Pomona College.
Aronson also commended

The Astronaut's Wife
Mark Zornes and Shari Sutherland
PRIDE STAFF WRITERS
Dear Psyche Fairy,
I have been without romance
for many months now and all of
a sudden, I found myself "dating" two guys. Should I drop
one? - Michelle, 21
Oh Michelle, you call this a
dilemma? You needn't "drop"
anyone if you are v being open
with these men. Have fun with
them and enjoy their company.
I assume you haven't committed yourself to a monogamous
relationship with one of them,
so don't worry. You should,
however, be open with both of
them. Besides, even if you are
looking for a "serious" relationship, then you must remember
that dating is like a rehearsal.
You play the scene and see
how it goes. How else are you
supposed to decide? What if
you dropped the wrong one and
you never gave yourself the
opportunity to rehearse with the
other? Just remember that you
are dating and not committed.
If you choose to monogamously commit later, then you will
be able to do so with confidence. Unless one of them is a
total tragedy, then date them
both and don't be so serious. I
am amazed that you have time
we meet. The fact that someone put a rod through their nose
doesn't tell us much about that
person anyway. You need to
know that your appearance may
cause a stare or a dumb remark,
but that is because of others'
limitations. Instead, you need
to wear your pierced lip like
Elizabeth Taylor wearing a fat
ass diamond ring. I don't know
how crazy your clothes are, but
look at the designer Betsy
Johnson. She sports her wild
outfits like they are haute couture and you need to do the
same. Please don't think that
your outfits are better or worse
than anyone's, just realize that
they are part of your expression
at that time. When clothes and
appearances are taken too seri-v
ously, then the whole fashion
thing becomes dreadfully miserable. Refocus your energy
from worrying about others'
opinions and problems and
f ocus on your creativity of
expression.
to date two men though. Don't
you have projects to do?
Dear Psyche Fairy,
Why do you think that people
have the audacity to say that
they are not racist or discriminatory but will treat people who
dress differently (such as facial
piercings) in a discriminatory
manner?
Anonymous, Age 25
Hello! Haven't you heard of
hypocrites?? Well, that's the
type of person you have met
and let me tell you, there are
plenty of them out there. It's
like those people who say, "oh,
I am not prejudiced, I even have
a friend who is black." These
people are proving that they are
prejudiced. If they weren't they
wouldn't feel as if they needed
to "prove" it by saying "look I
even have a Mend who is...."
You see! I must say, though,
that no one is without prejudice
and bias. This is a human trait
which comes from the way we
conceptualize things. The best
we can do is to recognize our
prejudices and realize that they
are not applicable to the people

A Brand New CSUSM Fall 1999 Semester
Cal State San Marcos enrollment is UP, and fees have gone DOWN.
According to a recent report from Enrollment Services. Around 800 more students
will be on campus this Fall semester over last Fall 1998. That figure increases total
enrollment at our growing campus to 5,850.
The fees at CSU have dropped $39.00 per semester. Additional funding from the state
budget to all CSU schools has made this the second consecutive year for a decrease in
school fees.
In the film THE ASTRONAUT'S
WIFE, directed by Rand Ravich, a
space mission goes horribly wrong
when astronauts Spencer Armacost
(Johnny Depp) and Alex Streck (Nick
Cassavetes) are involved in a bizarre
space accident that puts them out of
communication with NASA for a full
two minutes. The shuttle is brought
back down to Earth and both men are
unconscious. Armacost appears
unhurt, but his co-pilot Streck has suffered a heart attack and later dies under
questionable
circumstances.
Armacost's decision to retirefromflying and take an executive position at a
New York City-based aerospace company is the first strange event upon his
return from space.
Jillian (Charlize Theron) is immediately impregnated with twins and thus
begins her paranoia about her babies
and her husband. He definitely isn't
the man he used to be. Spencer
Armacost (Depp) communicates to the
extraterrestials via the radio by way of
a cold, calculated, high-pitched electronic pulse. Well, that seems to be the
form the aliens take in THE ASTRONAUT'S WIFE. About this time,
Jillian really starts to panic, she should
her husband is a freak. Jillian spends
the rest of the film trying to frantically
figure out whether she's part of some
grand master extraterrestrial plan that
could end all humankind. The film
plummets further away from anything
great and has a quick disappointing
ending to boot.
Shari- This film was highly predictable
and I knew everything that was goinf to
happen.
•
Shari-What is with Johnny Depp's voice?
He sounds like a cross between Elvis and
John Travolta.
Shari- Charlize Theron appearance was
the same in all the scenes - "perfect".. .My
hair and make up would have been
smeared and smudged if I was crying all
the time.
Shari-Wait for it to come out on video,
don't waste your money on this film.
Mark-1 wasn't sure what the hell was
going on?
Mark- At least the set designs were pretty
cool.
Mark-One thing is for sure is that the
ending did nothing for me. The script
lacked a great deal of information. I 'm not
a screenwriter, but it would have been
nice to know who the alien is? Where
S/he is from? What does S/he want? Just a

Class size limitations "depend
on many factors," says Teresita
Rodriguez, Director of the

number of lab stations, seating

resources. The nature of some
classes requires them to be

Another important piece of
advice, says Heckman, is for
students to "take advantage of
the priority registration appointment time assigned right down

PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Dear Psyche Fairy,
I am a 35 year old divorced
mother of 2 and have found
myself becoming increasingly attracted to one of my coworkers. I never seemed to
notice him before, but lately
I wait for his subtle hints and
flirtations with great anticipation. I am worried about
breaking one of the cardinal
rules of dating, however:
Don't go out with someone
you work with. What do you
think? — Dateless and
Divorced
Other than telling you to
keep your main focus on
your children who must be
the most important creatures
in your life, I recommend
that you forget that rule.
Unless you are a volatile person (or he is) then you
needn't avoid a relationship
with him. I find it awfully
cute that you get that "rush"
from his subtle flirtations and
there is a lot of richness in
just those acts that we tend to
ignore. It will be tricky, no
doubt, to figure out what his
feelings are towards you.
Perhaps you can get some
dinner after work and chat
over a glass of Cabernet. You
need to carefully assess if he
is "interested" in you and
pursue the relationship if he
is. You can't seem aggressive
at work because that could
create problems. If you
become friendly enough, just
tell him about your feelings
without any pressure—just
as you expressed them to me.
^Lf he feels similarly, he will
likely reciprocate with some
words of encouragement for
a budding relationship. That
rule about not getting together with a coworker is meant
for those who can't handle
their emotions. Ask yourself
this: could you break up with
him and still remain cordial?
If not, then it'd probably be
best to not get involved. If
yes, then the workplace is a
good place to meet people.
You already share something
in life and perhaps more
because your job may attract
a particular type of person
that is suited for you. Good
luck and please remember
that your worth as a person,
mom, or whatever does not
change according to your
dating status.
Dear Psyche Fairy,
Your response to Josh in the
August 30 issue of The Pride
was insightful and prompts a
question that has puzzled me
for many years. As homosexuals are attracted to those of
the same sex both mentally
and physically, why are gays
aroused and/or entertained
when men impersonate
women?—Evelyn
Evelyn, this question seemed
so silly to me that I wasn't
sure if it is a serious curiosity. First, you must understand that there are differences between attraction,
arousal, and entertainment.
In terms of being entertained,
my friend jokingly asks,
"Am I a lesbian because I am
entertained

singers?" Do straight people
want to marry clowns
because they find them entertaining? Just because gays
(and lesbians...and bisexuals...and straights) are entertained by drag queens we
cannot assume that they are
attracted to these drag
queens. Arousal, on the other
hand, can be accomplished in
many ways. If I blindfolded
you and told you that your
lover was going to pleasure
you, do you think y ou'd
know if I replaced this lover
with myself? Since arousal is
a physiological reaction to a
physical stimulus, I could
touch or lick you in the right
places to make you feel
aroused. People can be
aroused by many things, trust
me. Finally, attraction is not
a set-in-stone type phenomenon. Haven't you ever been
attracted to someone who
later turns
you o ff?
Sometimes you want dark
chocolate, the next day,
mocha. Now, to get to the
heart of your question, I have
to shatter your image and
inform you that many drag
queens "go home with"
straight men! Yes, some gay
men are attracted to drag
queens, but not most. Why
do you think most gay ads
contain beefcakes? Why do
so many straight men pick up
on drag queens? That is up to
you to discover, but sometimes it represents a sexual
frolic that is easily hidden
from their girlfriends/wives
and requires no commitment.

from nature classifying
him as a plein air
painter. The impressionists, as well as the
painters
of
the
Barbizon school, made
this style of painting an
important dimension of
their landscape work.
Oceanside Museum
spokesperson, Ellen
Stotmeister, explained
that it is not necessary
to be an art expert to
appreciate this collection. The viewer is
immediately aware of
what Griffith was try-
ing to accomplish.
"You don't have to sit
back and contemplate
this artist's intent, it is
beautifully apparent,'
Stotmeister said.
The museum, a privately funded center at
704 Pier View Way
occupies the formei
Oceanside City Hall
which is listed on the
national Register oi
Historic Places. The
gallery's limited space
does not allow permanent exhibits, but the
Griffith collection can
be viewed through
November 14, Tuesday
through
Saturday
10:00 am to 4:00 pm,
and Sunday, 1:00 pm to
4:00 pm. Admission is
$3.00 f or non-members, $2.00 f or stu
dents, military and
seniors.
Why am I, a part-time student (three hours two
nights a week), required to pay the same parking,
Associated Students, Recreation Program, Health Service, Health Facilities,
IRA, Student Union, Student Recreation and Recreation fees as a fiill-time student? These fees total $93.1 have an 8:00 am to 5:00 pm j ob which prevents me
from using most of these services because they are not available in the evening.
Why am I not, at least, given a choice of whether or not I want to participate in
them?
When I began my night school studies at this university two years ago, it was
because a degree program designed to assist the working student was promoted.
In many cases what I find is the evening student is penalized because they pay in
full for services that, in most cases they have no need for, but if they did, are not
available to them.
If Cal State San Marcos is planning to increase their part-time evening student
enrollment, I vigorously suggest they modify these inequities.

° N APRIL 2 2 a n d 23> 1 9 9 9 > t h e University changed its mascot from Tukwut to
Cougar. The Administration arranged for the students of CSUSM to vote on
their new mascot. Under the guise of fairness, Cougar was selected. The little known fact about the choices on
the allegedly fair vote is that after 10 years of being the mascot of the University 'Tukwut' was NOT one of the
options for mascot on the ballot. Why? Tukwut (pronounced 'too-kwoot") is apparently too difficult to pronounce.
The pioneering students of this campus were given the charge of finding a mascot for the University some ten
years ago. True to the Mission Statement of the University, the group of students sought a symbol that represented the cultural history and richness of the area. After spending some time researching, these students discovered
that the Luiseno Tribe were the original inhabitants.
In keeping with their quest to be respectful of history of the land and its people, the group of students made
contact with Villana Hyde, a Luiseno Indian. This great woman had created a dictionary of Luiseno words in
English. She presented the word Tukwut to the students as a gift. The word Tukwut in Luiseno means mountain
lion. The students, grateful for this gift, accepted the word from Villana Hyde.
By omitting Tukwut from the ballot, the administration has chosen to disregard this gift and the will of the students at CSUSM. The time has come to take a stand! While it is true that they gave the students a chance to
vote for an "official" mascot, the omission of Tukwut stands as a glaring example of insensitivity and disregard
for the students' rights to influence the culture and direction of their University. This is an act of injustice! In
the words of one administrative official on campus, "We can change things at the University and the students
wouldn't even know."
Is this what we want? Do we want things to be changed at OUR University without us knowing? The time
has come to take a stand! All we are asking for is the opportunity for a FAIR vote. Let's give Tukwut a fair
chance on a ballot. Give the Itakwut another chance to be heard.

You may have noticed a special bunch of young men and
women cleaning the rest rooms
and emptying trash cans on
campus. They are college-age
special education students from
Vista Unified School District
here to acquire vocational training. "Janitorial skills are not
what they are being taught",
said director John Hull, " but
skills that are needed in the
workplace such as responsibility, showing up on time, and the
ability to achieve their goals."
Kathy DeLar assists John in
the instruction of the ten developmentally delayed students.
She says that some days teaching can be a challenge because
of the special learning styles of
each of the students. Each stu-
iwmmmmm S ImHHHH m
dent learns differently,
essence, "it's like teaching ten
different classes every day."
Mr. Hull would like fellow
students at CSUSM to understand that these students have
the same desires as all young
adults at this age, to get a job
and be productive in society.
In the past these young people were shut away from society. Today, due to mainstreaming in schools, they are a vital,
flourishing part of our community.
"Being developmentally
delayed is not catching", Hull
stated. When you pass one of
these special students somewhere on campus, smile and
say, "Hi!"

Dr. George Vourlitis, ecologist and CSUSM professor,
stepped into the Brazilian rain
forest on Aug. 19,1999, and fulfilled a boyhood dream. He and
his
collaborators
from
Universid Federal de Mato
Grosso were there to conduct
documented research on the
effects of deforestation.
Most of us have read how "It
is thought that destruction of the
rain forest causes global warming." This hypothesis has been
floating around for most of our
lives in print and media, and yet
no one has proven it. The
opportunity came for Vourlitis
two years ago when he read a
NASA solicitation for proposals
to do the study. A US proposal
would need strong Brazilian
cooperation and collaboration to
ensure a successful outcome.
Through email communication
with ecologists living in or near
rain forests, Vourlitis found the
scientists in the Mato Grosso
area fitted the specific NASA
recommendations. They were
willing to travel to the United
States at their own expense to
learn the necessary methods and
technology.
This begins with the conversion of land to agriculture, then
to pasture, and the subsequent
return to New Forest growth.
Land conversion is hypothesized to be a major contributor

their young in the U.S. Birds are
natural predators of those insect

would evaporate quickly causing

Did the school go to all this

all of the materials are purchased "with curriculum in

Mexican Independence Celebration
By Leiana Naholowaa
PRIDE EDITOR
"El Gritode Dolores!"
The cry for democracy
and independence was
commemorated on campus
Thursday, September 16,
during noon hour in front
of the Dome. Alongside
ASF's cookout and players
strategizing over a game of
chess, Ballet Folklorico
Mixtlan and M.E.Ch.A
(Movimiento Estudiantil
Chicano de Aztlan) provided music, regional dances
of Mexico, and poetry to a
cheery and relaxed audience of students, faculty
and staff.
Members of Ballet
Folklorico, a group which
began at CSU San Marcos
in 1998, are often seen
practicing outside the third
floor of Craven Hall. The
white dance costumes
reflect the styles of the
tropical Veracruz region of
Mexico. It is a region
whose beat is said to
resemble the waves of the
ocean. Colorful dresses
with bright ribbons worn
by other dancers identify
dancers of the Jalisco
region whose musical
accompaniment is the
Mariachi.
The "Jarabe Tapatio" was
performed by students
Victor Vasquez and Lili
Rodriguez, a duo on and off
stage. Widely known as the
National Dance of Mexico,
the "Jarabe Tapatio" was
originally influenced by
Asian culture about 300
years ago. "La Negra," an
all-women dance, showed
off the beauty of costume,
spirit, and movement found
within so many other
aspects of Mexican culture.
Jose Servin, the group's
dance instructor from
Mexico City, has been
dancing now for six years.
Servin spoke of such
instruments as the harp,

"Jarana," the guitar-like
"Requinto Jarocho" from
the Jalisco region and
described the culture of the
rural
Tixla-Guerrero
region.
Mexican Independence
Day signifies a continuous
call to overcome struggle.
Three centuries of Spanish
rule, 1521-1821, would not
have ended if it had not
been for many great
Mexican figures including
Father Miguel Hidalgo y
Costilla. The "founding
father" of the Mexican
independence
cause,
Hidalgo
rallied
the
Mexican people in the town
of Dolores in 1810.
Himself
a
"Criollo"
(Spaniard born in Mexico),
Hidalgo was decapitated
by the "Gachupines," the
ruling Spaniards born in
Spain. Hidalgo's famous
speech "El Grito de
Dolores" is recreated every
year on the night before

1810 would continue for

PRIDE STAFF WRITER
The Inter-Club Council
(ICC) held its first meeting
on Friday, September 10.
At the meeting, Dean
Manship, the new ICC
chairman, said that the primary purpose of the ICC is
to improve campus life.
After introductions, the
bulk of the meeting
involved deciding the policy details of approving
funding for club-sponsored events. Since the
student fee referendum
passed, the ICC now has a
budget from Associated
Students Inc. (ASI) of
$50,000 to fund club-
sponsored events. With
this budget increase, the
ICC now has more potential to support clubs, provide entertainment and
services for students, and
help create more student
involvement on campus.
Beyond simply funding
club events, the Inter-Club
Council is also a forum for
clubs to work together and
exchange ideas. It meets
every other Friday at 1:30
in Commons 206 to discuss new ideas, take care
of ICC administration, and
approve event funding.
PAUL BLANCHARD / The Pride
On September 25, 1999,
the Associated Students
Incorporated of California
State University, San Marcos
will be having "The First
Annual Child Trot Fest".
The event will begin at
9:00 am and will continue
through
12
noon.
Participating children range
from two through five years
of age. These children and
their parents will face the
challenge of walking as many
laps around the Olympic
University Track as possible.
The funds raised will provide financial support for
needed classroom equipment,
classroom supplies and playground equipment for the ASI
Early Learning Center.
The Associated Students,
Inc.,
California
State
University, San Marcos,
Early Learning Center (ASI
Early Leaning Center) is a
non-profit child development
center serving 100 families
(primarily university student
parents) with children ages
two to five years of age. The
mission of the ASI Early
Learning Center is to provide
an enriched educational program that promotes selfesteem and creativity as well
as social, emotional, cognitive and physical growth
through hands-on experience.
The ASI Early Learning
Center is asking for contributors willing to Sponsor a child
to walk. Pledges begin at $10
and the goal is to have each
child raise $100.00. Pledge
forms are available in the ASI
Service Window and the ASI
CSUSM Early Learning
Center.
The list of donors sponsoring the event include Aztec
Shops, Fish House Vera Cruz,
Home Town Buffet Pure

Dear Psyche Fairy,
I am an older, single female
student, who looks, f eels,
and acts younger than my
age. People think I am at
least 15 years younger than
my age. Quite a few times,
younger men have shown an
interest in me. While this is
very flattering, I am at a loss
as to how to let them know I
am almost old enough to be
their mother. I do enjoy the
friendship of both younger
men and women—it keeps
my thinking open and flexible.
Help Me, please!
Sassy Senior
Hey Sassy, when you say
some younger men "show an
interest" what d o you mean?
Does he j ust look at you?
Gaze into your eyes? Look
u p y our dress? W hat??
Well, if someone is making a
pass your first duty i sn't to
tell t hem that you are
old/older than them. You are
victimizing yourself; You
are looking at your age as if
it is a big oF zit on your face
and you want to apologize
f or it. If you are interested in
the lad then go with. it.
Eventually, your age will
become apparent. Going out
with someone is not a lifesentence, puhleez. I 'm not
saying you should keep it a
secret, j ust let this informa-
DEAR EDITORS:
In response to the editorial by

September 1 3^ issue of The
Pride,
I 'm a full-time student enrolled in 18 units a

choose to be a part of this

naturally in conversation.
You are being too serious
about it and frankly, your
"problem" really i sn't one.
You should just be glad people are hitting on you—I
wish I could say the same,
dammit.
Dear Psyche Fairy,

Lust can be both wonderful
and frustrating. First, I d on't
know if you work at the

not be appropriate to take

After all, she might not want
you to have this information.
If this were a d ifferent
school, I might say you lost
your chance, but lucky you!
You go to the small college
of CSUSM where you bump
into the same people every
day. This is in your favor
since you want to meet her. I
am all f or being open and
honest with people so I recommend that you approach
her nicely and tell her that
you find h er incredibly
attractive. This first meeting
is a careful dance where you
have to j udge how she
responds to you. A fter you
tell her that you fancy her,
and assuming that she seems
encouraging, explain to her
that you are interested in getting to know her. Then take
it f rom there. If she doesn't
seem too happy to hear your
c ompliment, maybe you
should j ust let it be at that.
Yes, one could argue that she
may b e insecure about
receiving compliments, but
if this is the case, then that
would be a bad time f or a
relationship [you w ouldn't
want a . .. with her???] anyway. This is always a tricky
situation because you never
know how to best initiate the
contact, and it will be even
trickier if you are a woman.
I wish you luck and romance

DEAR EDITORS:
I am deeply saddened to
hear of the death of Barbara
Pender. Barb and I were both
m embers of C SUSM's f irst
graduating class. I believe I can
speak f or the entire class, our
CSUSM family of sorts, when I
say that we have lost one of our
brightest stars. B arb ignited
that first class with her relentless enthusiasm and campus
pride, making her a memorable presence. Barb and I also
worked together at t he
Academic Math and Science
summer camp, where her ability to lovingly control, guide
and teach a sea of energetic
middle schoolers remained a
constant source of amazement
and inspiration f or me. I
learned much about life f rom
Barb. She will b e greatly
missed.

PRIDE STAFF WRITER
All students who are concerned
about a family member reaching
them while on campus in case of
an emergency please take note of
the following J ielpful information: If a family member needs to
reach you while you are in class,
please instruct them to call (760)
750-4567. The dispatcher is
available 24/7 and he/she will
decide what is an emergency. Lt.
Glen of the campus police has
stressed the importance of
using this number only in the
case of a legitimate emergency
such as injury, fire, or other such
life-threatening situations in
which a family member off campus needs to be able to reach a
student. Calling the number to
ask a student to "stop off after
class and get milk" is NOT an
emergency!! Please instruct fam
ily members accordingly.

Disasters strike at any time
and at any place, don't be left
unprepared. We all know that
earthquakes, car accidents, or
even a dead car battery can
occur at the most inopportune
time, but you can take action to
prevent injury and embarrassment. There are a few items
that you should have with you
during your commute. The following items are recommended
by American Red Cross:
Students coming from
Temecula may be interested in
alternate routes to the campus:
Several may be considered by
those wanting to avoid the traffic on 78W or to go around an
accident scene. (There is no
guarantee that any of the alternate routes are better during
peak traffic times in the morning.)
2.Traveling south on 15, exit El
Norte Pkwy and go right
(which is West). Take El Norte
to Woodland and turn left,
going south until you get to
Barham, then turn right and follow it to the campus which is
on the left side of Barham.
3. Traveling south on 15, exit at
El Norte Pkwy going West, and
make a left when you come to
Nordahl. Take Nordahl to

CSUSM—the first annual Cougar
Chase. Because of our new track,
the university could host an event
such as the Cougar Chase, a fivekilometer course to either walk
or run.
Mazario Romaro, a San
Marcos resident, won the 5K
race. His running time was
14:55. When asked about the
race he said, "It was a fun course
and I loved the race." He said that
he could have run a longer race in
San Diego, but he chose to support CSUSM. Romaro trained
for the Cougar Chase by running

PAUL BLANCHARD / The Pride
�Dear Editors:
Thank you for printing Ramon
Nava s letter. It is very important
to have this discussion about the
Tukwut. Our campus needs to
seriously question whether or not
it is performing an act of cultural
insensitivity.
?
If there is no guilt on the part
of our university, fine. Then only
an explanation is owed to the students about why we were kept in
the dark about the mascot's previous name.
However, if our university is
found guilty of cultural insensitivity, then we need to know who
wanted the change in mascot,
why they wanted it, and how
they went about their agenda for
change. Most importantly, we
need to know why the wonderful,
culturally relevant story behind
the Tukwut was kept a secret
from the students both before
and during the election.
Maybe it is the case that whoever wanted the mascot changed
simply was not aware of the
Tukwut's significance. Wouldn't
they then be innocent? No, just
guilty of something else—not' taking our student elections seriousi.
y
If someone puts an issue on
the ballot without carefully
investigating its meaning and
history, then s/he is sloppy or
crafty. Either way, the person is
assuming that the students aren't
critical enough to eventually
realize what has been done.
Either way, they are assuming
that students will not hold them
accountable. Either way, they
are assuming that students will
not demand an explanation.
Hmmm. . .our university's elections are sounding more and
more like our state elections!
Remember Prop. 209?
There have been stories that
the Tukwut (pronounced 'tookwoot) is indeed too difficult to
pronounce. I don't buy that. I
don't think pronouncing Tukwut
is any bit as difficult as, say, getting across that bridge on Twin
Oaks Valley Road. Orfindinga

able to quickly get all the

library's collection. No, I don't
think that Tukwut is too difficult
for CSUSM students to pronounce. Anyone who believes
that it is too difficult for us is
greatly underestimating our abilities. Another rumor I have heard
floating around is that we had to
change our mascot, for marketability. After all, we have a
growing sports program to consider now, and it just won't do to
have Tukwut as our mascot. We
must change it to something
more marketable. That way we

Dear Editors:
From the car to class to the car, CSUSM's dilemma: WHERE is the campus community?
Dear Editors:
This university has become
known for its use of groups, such
as the Senior Experience program, to educate and expand the
minds and views of its students.
Additionally, the university also
promotes diversity and acceptance regardless of race, gender,
or religion by allowing the presence of the many different clubs
on campus. With the passing of
the fee referendum, the InterClub Council will have a
I am delighted to see that you
are speaking out about the torture
that occurs at CSUSM. I have
been a student enough years to
truly experience the meaning
behind CSUS&M. I have found it
very frustrating dealing with the
poorly planned and managed systems, such as admissions and
parking, that plague students
every day.
It has come to the point that I
will ask different people, who
work for CSUS&M, the same
question to attempt to get to the
truth. Usually the third time
around proves to be somewhat
correct. It is also a shame that the
administration at Cal State San
Marcos does not fully appreciate
and utilize the talented staff that
work for them. There are some of
the brightest and innovative people working for them, who could
easily improve things, and yet
they are not used.
I think it is time that the
administration realizes that what
students encounter on a daily
basis is ****. Without a good
interface with the student, there
might as well be no University at
all.
Keep up the good work. Keep
telling the truth.
Matt Thomas
Dear Editors:
The administration of this school ponders this very question as you read this article. Why is it that
there is no "community" feel to this campus? The same reasons why a student can sit in a class with another student for three semesters and never know their name. We are a microwave generation not willing to learn
or explore inner insights if it isn't warmed and consumed within fifteen minutes. What ever happened to
achieving higher education for self-betterment? We moan and complain about diversity being pushed, about
the writing requirements, about the students, about the smart system, about the parking, and the not-so-predictable Dome food. Too lazy to meet someone new, but plenty of zeal to cry and whimper about how the
professor was not clear. To say this lightly, we the students could care less about the school or about each
other. We respond to this dilemma with a smug, "it is a commuter school." We the commuters are through
with any personal growth or sharing of our lives with people. We are older and wiser, so our redneckism is
too late in its diagnosis to heal. We want our degrees and our money so we can get the respect and the brand
new bigger than ever "Expedition." Leave the people-loving, tree-hugging, open-minded liberals up North in
the Bay area where they belong. The only thing diverse we want is our wardrobe from "Nordstroms."

Dear Editors,
My name is La Brace Eaton II and I am the manager of
Cougar's Corner Convenience on the CSUSM campus. I am
writing to you in regards to your distasteful cartoon that ran
in the September 20th copy of your newspaper. The newspaper is referred to as the "Pride," yet showed no pride whatsoever in CSUSM by running that disrespectful comic. I am
unsure what the point was of running such a cartoon in the
school newspaper. The cartoon in essence may have been
funny to some people, but is it really the message you want
to send to students, facultypand community at CSUSM?
Being funny doesn't make it right. I hope that in the future
you at the Pride show a little bit more pride and respect for
your school and not print such filth.
Respectfully Yours,

Dear Psyche Fairy,
How does one best express
intimacy with someone else?
Words fail me, seeming contrived. Affection such as holding, kissing, or making love is
only the beginning of the depths
of what I know to be inside me
for the object of my thoughts.
The feelings, longings,
desires, need, respect, admiration, devotion and want for the
person I hold dear would make
them, for lack of a better term,
happier about themselves.
To realize, for better or worse,
someone cared and wished only
the best, yet these declarations
may be overwhelming by the
sheer intensity and appear trivialized to what is in my heart. I
believe we all withhold our true
selvesfromone another on many
levels in many ways, but would
hope somewhere, somehow to
make the connection - and make
it in a positive, meaningful, and
profound way. Give me a way, a
method, the words, for I am at a
loss and my beloved deserves
true kinship. Sign me,
"Sincerely Sincere"
Dear Sincerely Poetic,
I was greatly entranced by
your message, as I feel akin to
this experience of longing. I
doubt anyone can satisfactorily
answer your question, so I will be
bound to provide only my opinions. First, I don't think that there
qEfte ffirtbe
Arts & Entertainment
is one sole best way to express
intimacy. Not only do people
find intimacy in different experiences, but also at different times,
intimacy can be appreciated in
different ways. This is what I like
to refer to as the emotional-cognitive dance between humans.
Finding that experience whereby
both (or more) can be absorbed in
the feeling of intimacy is quite
special and not easy to discover.
For instance, your loved one may
not be "in the mood" for intimacy in any form. Remember, I am
not talking about mere physical
affection and sex here. Even
words may fall on deaf ears
sometimes. Hie ultimate act of
intimacy is to understand the
other in their place at that
moment. Just knowing that the
other is not open to that intimacy
at that time is an act of intimacy
on your part.
Words are contrived, but what
isn't? Words are symbolic and
since our minds are representational, words can be a great
means to achieving an end. Even
when sex is used as a form of intimacy it is dependent upon the
people to see it as such. We are
frequently mistaken to assume
that physical affection is the pinnacle of intimacy. For a porn star,
sex is a job; for a writer, words
can be just work; for a psychologist listening is a career; for a
chef, cooking is a profession. It is
the intention behind these behaviors which makes them intimate.
Here again, you must think of the
other: does the person resemble
the adorer of Cyrano or Annie
Sprinkle. Some people are more
affected by words than others
and you need to know this to
know if words will be effective.
Actions can also be powerfully
intimate. I have had friends do
little things/favors for me (from
their own volition) which I found
incredibly intimate, especially
when the favor arrives at just the
right moment. These actions can
be deeply intimate. Find out
these things and perhaps you can
express your intimacy in that
way. If the other is open and
experimental enough, you may
approach the situation as a regular negotiation. Approach the
person saying you'd like to experience this intimacy and see if
you can both devise a way to put
each other "in the mood." This
may likewise be contrived, but it
might just work!
You might be thinking that
some of these "methods" seem
too one-sided and self-contained. Well, unfortunately, that
will be mostly true. You see, I
understand your desire to commune with someone in such a
way that your experiences meld
into one. As if you were the
same, sharing perspectives,
thoughts, and emotions. Oh how
I wish this could be true! Sadly,
our ability to imagine beyond our
capacities often leads us to feeling empty andfrustrated.If this
is the connection that you wish
for, I can say it will exist mostly
in your imagination. Our
thoughts are usually fragmented

Quirky character study meets Disney magic in Touchstone
Pictures' Mumford. A quirky story line, wonderful cameo performances, and surprising movie-within-a-movie camera work
saves Mumford from the sugary bog of boy-meets-girl
Hollywood movies. For the cynical, I've-seen-'em-all moviegoer, who still has a sneaking love for feel-good movies and happy
endings, Mumford works.
The movie works best when it appeals to the voyeur in all of
us. Dr. Mumford (Loren Dean) is a psychologist. His patients
troop in and out of his office, always more than willing to tell him
the intimate details of their secret lives. As Dr. Mumford gets to
know his patients, so does the viewer, From the sleazy small time
lawyer (Martin Short), to the how-did-I-get-so-rich-and-famous
modem mogul (David Paymer), the characters reveal themselves
with both hilarious and touching results. Part of the fun is the
viewer's (and Dr. Mumford's) realization that keeping and telling
secrets is what being human is all about.
Hie cast gives remarkable performances across the board; not
one character rings untrue. Not surprisingly, Martin Short turns a
stock sleazy-lawyer character into a brilliantly funny cameo.
More surprising, perhaps, is the equally brilliant performance by
Ted Danson, who gives new meaning to the word "jerk" (replace
with any applicable synonym). Other good performances include
Alfre Woodard as the understanding neighbor with secret yearnings, and Mary McDonnell as the unfulfilled wife and mother.
The movie does have some shortcomings. One almost isn't a
shortcoming at all. The characters are so interesting, and the performances so good, that you are left wanting more. The other
problem is more serious. Mumford's charms include a distinctive
story line and out-of-the-ordinary film sequences. Both give way
to a conventional, Disney-style wrap up at the end. Nevertheless,
I recommend Mumford. Even cynics like me enjoy a good boymeets-girl movie now and then on Date Night.

and newcomers alike with her unique range of vocal renditions
during a noon concert on the Dome patio area on Tuesday,
September 21,1999. Lettau was accompanied by Peter Sprague,
renowned writer, teacher, and recording guitarist, Bob
Magnusson on the bass, and Duncan Moore on the drums.
Raised in Germany by her single mother, Lettau left home at
the age of fifteen and set out to make her fortune. While supporting herself by cleaning houses, she discovered the singing
voice that would someday make her one of the most recognized
stylists in the jazz world. Her style comesfroman exposure to
the works of Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, A1 Jarreau, Charlie
Parker, Donny Hathaway, and other great recording artists. She
assimilated the inventions of jazz improvisation into a vocal
approach that was pure, soulful, and uniquely her own.
After touring and recording with Sergio Merides for eight
years, Lettau incorporated Brazilian sounds into her contemporary pop singing and set out on her solo career. While she has
won critical acclaim for her records and albums in the United
States and abrpad, she has almost reached superstar status in
Japan and the Philippines. She says of her work, "Every record
is different, because I am always growing, expanding and
changing."
Kudos to CSUSM Arts and Activities, directed by Bonnie
Biggs, for providing such professional entertainment during
lunch.

...Such is the advice of Mary
Atkins, the CSUSM Instructional
Computing Labs Coordinator.
Computing is an essential of
scholarship at this university,
though when a paper is due in 15
minutes, the computer cannot
read the disk, and the pay-forprint station won't work, it's easy
to feel like life itself hangs in the
balance. Being acquainted with
the computing labs may offset
this stress and save your grades.
According to Ms. Atkins, knowing what labs are available and
when labs are busy can give students a measure of computing
safety.
Often students visit the main
computer lab in ACD 202, see
that all of these computers are
taken, and walk away. They do
not realizing that the nearly 100
computers in ACD 202 and ACD

Have you ever had someone in
your life that you looked up to?
Someone who encouraged you
when you were feeling not your
best? Someone, who doesn't necessarily give you answers, but
heads you down the right road to
finding them? Someone who is
present when you need them, if
only to sit and chat, or do nothing
at all? Here at CSUSM I am fortunate to have such a person in my
life. Her name is Dr. Cynthia
Chavez Metoyer (Pronounced
MET-TOY-YAY, its French).
As part of the Faculty
Mentoring Program here at
CSUSM, Dr. Metoyer has been a
mentor to many students since
coming on board in 1994. She
was initially recruited by two of

her students her very first semester here. Because of the natural
mentoring relationship that had
begun between them, they
requested that she become part of
the formal program. Dr. Metoyer
agreed and has been doing it ever
since. Each semester, students
who are accepted into the program are assigned a mentor.
Throughout the school year the
relationship may take on many
different characteristics. Some
proteges only seek out their mentors for academic advisement,
some for counseling and support,
and still others develop friendships that continue well after
graduating, from CSUSM.
Currently there are 67 mentors

In Greek mythology, Mentor
was Odysseus' trusted friend and
counselor, and his son
Telemachus' teacher, advisor,
and surrogate father. He provided
the boy with guidance, support
and love. The mentoring program

mentors are an important factor in

When you hear the words
"Greek Life," what images come
to mind? Do you picture scenes
from "Animal House," like John
Belushi in a toga, chugging a
beer? Or are you completely
oblivious to fraternities and
couldn't care less about GreekLife on campus? Either way, you
should be a little curious because
members of these clubs may be
your close friends, students in
your classes, or future co-workers. Would you ever guess that
Troy Aikman and President
William McKinley were Sigma
Alpha Epsilon brothers, or that
Elvis and Ronald Reagan were
Tau Kappa Epsilon brothers?
Here on campus the presence of
Greek organizations, academic
and social, are steadily growing
and attracting many students.
American students were the
creators of the first Greek-Letter
Fraternities. It all began when the
Declaration of Independence was
introduced to America in 1776.
Revolutionary ideas began to
spread like wildfire across
America and many college students wished to discuss revolutionary ideas. However, because
of British rule, such discussions
were prohibited. As a result, college students created the first fraternities in America where college students were able to discuss
revolutionary ideas in secrecy.
Some of the secrecy in the fraternities included secret handshakes, oaths, and Greek mottoes.
Centuries have passed, and now
the numbers of fraternities have
spread to more than sixty fraternities over sixty colleges in the U.S.
and Canada (Delta Sigma Phi
National Manual).
Of the 60 colleges in the U.S.
and Canada, CSUSM is one of the
campuses that have academic and
social Greek organizations. The
academic honor societies deal
with students who have excelled
in areas that deal with their
majors. For example, PSI CHI,

Another benefit that men find
when they join a fraternity is networking. "That's one of the things
that impresses people about joining a fraternity. Career connections," says Dean Manship, president of SAE. Dean has obtained
two jobs through networking in
the year-and-a-half that h^ has
been in SAE. Companies like
Pepsi, Coca-Cola, and UPS have
presidents and CEOs* who were
fraternity brothers. As a result,
many of the present members can
benefit by acquiring well paying
jobs when they join fraternities.

It i$ no secret that there are
stereotypes surrounding fraternities and sororities. For example,
fraternity members may be
referred to as "party animals,"
"keggers," or have other labels.
However, is that really what fraternities are about? Sigma Alpha
Epsilon (SAE) and Tau Kappa
Epsilon (TKE) are two of the
social fraternities on campus that
promote brotherhood and philanthropy. It turns out that one of the
primary reasons men join SAE
and TKE on campus are for the
friendships. Many people enter
CSUSM not knowing anyone. So
SAE and TKE fraternity members take the initiative to recruit
incoming freshmen and other
men to join their fraternities. For
example, Charles Matanane, a
sophomore, has been a member of
SAE for two years and says,
"When I came here, I didn't know
much of anybody, now I've got 50
people that I know." Juan
"Buddha" Ibarra, also a sophomore, has been a member of TKE
for two years and recalls when the
TKEs introduced themselves to
him as a freshman: "TKEs
seemed excited about me, really
friendly, really outgoing, but they
also stressed a lot of brotherhood.
I saw what they did, I saw how
close they were to each other, and
I really liked that whole family
thing."

Perhaps the premature expectations I built before seeing this
film caused such deep disappointment. Lucie Aubrac turned
out to be everything you would be
looking for in a yuppie movie and
nothing that truly captures, for
me, the emotions of a time period.
Based on a true story, Lucie
Aubrac takes the viewer on a soap
opera history lesson of World War
II France. Fans of French film
might remember its writer/director Claude Berri who directed
such films as Germinal, Jean de
Florette, and Manon des Sources
(Manon of the Springs). With
Berri once again is Daniel Auteuil
('Raymond'), who had played
Ugolin in Jean de Florette and
Manon des Sources. But how can
a film based on one woman's
autobiographical account go so
wrong? The key lies at the beginning of the movie, before the
stunt show action begins. A message flashes that the following is
based on a true story but for the
purpose of dramatic effect, da, da,
da, certain liberties have been
taken, or something like that.
I call it a yuppie film because
it's a little bit more than a Date
Movie in that it contains noble
elements that both guys and
chicks would totally appreciate.
The violent action scenes are fantastic. Lucie Aubrac begins with a
spectacular explosion and ends
with a sappy romantic happy ending—whoops, sorry to kill the
ending for you, but it's as if Berri
hunted down something so formulaic. There's plenty of melodrama and prison beatings to go
around, to be sure, that would
entice any movie fan out th^re.
But jumping out of your seat and
racing to, the door for sprpe fresh

wrong. Everyone sees things differently, and so perhaps you may
find Carole Bouquet's performance as 'Lucie' quite convincing.

speak of the internal state of

you'd have to bring all of this in
not one, but TWO brains, into harmony. This discussion then
becomes entirely philosophical

So, you may come to those random moments when you are "in
synchrony" with the other, but that
is about as amazing as it gets. We
are limited, always. (Some people
go into trances/rituals or use drugs
to try to get beyond these limitations, however.) Don't despise
your limitations because there is
nothing you can really do about it.
You need to try to work with those
limits and find out how you can
best stimulate that synchrony of
thought and emotion between you
and your loved one. There isn't a
specific formula; it depends on the
person AND the time whether
intimacy will be found in actions,
conversations, or kisses. Finding
this will reside in understanding
the person. This lucky person for
whom you care so deeply must be
understood as (s)he is in that

openness. My sincerest hopes go

president of SAE, Dean also
says, "We need to look good on
campus, because right off the bat
a lot of people have negative
stereotypes about fraternities."
Many fraternities have been
viewed as negative institutions in
the past. News coverage of Scott
Krueger, the MIT freshman student who died last September
because of alcohol poisoning
when he rushed the Phi Gamma
Delta Fraternity, brought much
controversy. Even though SAE
and TKE say that hazing does not
occur in their fraternities, breaking down stereotypes of social
fraternity life is a problem. One
TKE brother admits that there
may be members who could work
on their maturity level and that
they could take on more responsibilities. However, the majority of
the brothers is mature and responsible and does believe in the
brotherhood and philanthropy
that theirfraternitiesstand for. "If
you go into any group of guys,
you're going to have a few you're
not going to like. But to knock
down the whole fraternity
because of one person just isn't
right," says Mike.
The fraternity members do
admit that they party,' they are
social organizations, but they also
say there is a lot more to their fraternities than just partying, like
the community work they do.
TKE brother, Mike, says that his
favorite TKE volunteer activity is
"I'm Going To College," an event
that takes place every semester
with ASI. In this event fourthgraders from schools all across
San Diego County have the
chance to visit the University
campus. Last year the kids played
with the computers, sat in police
cars, sang songs with TKE brothers, and engaged in many other
activities. The whole goal is for
these children to catch a glimpse
into college life, in hopes that
they will take the initiative and go
to college when they are older.
The TKEs also helped out with
Special Olympics and the "Child
Trot." SAE has also done its
share of community service, like
tutoring at a charter school in
Oceanside, canned-food drives
for the holidays, holding book
bags every year for the Campus
Book Store, and fundraisers for
St. Claire's Battered Women's
Shelter in Escondido. Some of

It turns out that there may be

A discussion of the addition
of $10,000.00 into the InterClub Council (ICC) budget
was begun at the ICC meeting
held on Friday, September 24th.
ICC
may
soon
have
$60,000.00 to help sponsor
club events for the academic
year. There were at least thirty
in attendance, representing
over twenty clubs on campus.
At ICC meetings the clubs
on campus have a chance to
discuss what is happening on
campus, and the progress of the
activities that each club is holding.Clubs may request money
for any given event, but this
amount is not guaranteed. The
bulk of the funding allotted to
clubs is to sponsor on-campus
events.
Club days are those days
when clubs are on the quad
promoting their activities. The
days have been decided: they
will be on October: 4th - 8th, and
18th - 22nd; November: I st - 5th,
and 15th - 19th; December 6th 10th.
Finals week is December

CSUSM Student Teachers Lead Local Science Fair
By Kraig Kemp
Student teachers from cohort
B2 of the Multiple Subjects
Credential program took part in
the Richland Elementary School
Science Fair in San Marcos on
Thursday, September 23.
Their mission was to make
learning science fun as they
involved children in hands-on science lessons. Several fourth and
fifth grade classrooms participated in the event organized by Dr.
Kathy Norman, CSUSM College
of Education Professor.
The lesson topics included one
led by student teachers Sony a
Foster and Dawn German, in
which a laser light, a mirror, and a
radio are used to prove that sound
travels as a wave that can be captured and seen.
The cohort made sure that the
children were exposed to a great
diversity of hands-on activities.
The children expressed much joy
for the event in thank-you letters
and they had wanted the student
teachers to come back soon.

OPINION
Monday, O ctober 4 , 1 999
DEAR EDITORS:
DEAR EDITORS:
Attention drivers—so much for a commuter campus. A few weeks ago, as I was
preparing to leave campus, I found out that my car battery was dead. I called Public
Safety to ask them for a jump since they had done this for me last semester. The dispatcher's response was that they now charged a fee for this service. I would not
have minded if the fee were $5 or $10, but I was informed that it would be $20 to
$25 ! According to them this fee was due to a liability issue because car batteries
had accidentally been blown up in the past.
Other universities, such as UCSD, provide this and other car trouble services
without charging students additional fees. One would think that amidst all of the
fees included in the cost of attending CSUSM (such as the $64 parking permit), that
some portion would go towards making these types of services available to students—free of charge! Needless to say, I refused to pay thisridiculousamount and
found someone to help me—two hours later. It worries me to think that students,
especially those attending evening classes, may encounter a similar dilemma and
not have the recourses to get themselves out of the situation. We students can barely pay for our parking permit, some not at all . ..

DEAR EDITORS:
After reading the article "Brotherhood on Campus" in last week's Pride, I was
a bit peeved. I realize that Victoria B. Segail was focusing on the all-male Greek
social fraternities, but it would have been nice if a little bit more was said about all
- the academic Greek societies (academic and social).
In regard to all the community service that S AE has supposedly done the author
is mistaken about the book bag holding for the campus Book Store. This activity
is not community service because S AE gets paid $1,000.00 for providing this service. I won't bet my check on this, but I 'm pretty sure that SAE doesn't spend the
$1,000.00 on funding the homeless but instead spends it on whatever secret

CSUS&M Cartoon Was Fallacious
By Mike Spangler
I saw the cartoon in the September 20th issue ofThe Pride, a ndl read the letters to the editor in its September 27th issue. I am amazed that no apology,
retraction, or correction was printed, and, in this instance, I am ashamed to call
myself a Pride staff writer. I cannot tolerate viewing inaccuracies published
with such reckless abandon, and I feel that I must speak out in critical com-|
mentary, not as a member of the staff, but as a student of this glorious campus.
A student newspaper should strive to publish not only stimulating material,
but factual material. The artist erroneously and humorously implied that the
SM of CSUSM stands for Sado-Masochism. The artist then tried to cover up
his lack of artistic talent and wit by scrawling a few words: San Marcos. This
injustice must not stand uncorrected! Had someone simply listened to the echo
ing voices of students in the stairwells, then, assuredly, the errors would have
been avoided.
C SUSM: The l ittle u niversity on the b ig h illside...
With a lot of damned stairs. There is not a place an able-bodied student can park
that doesn't require a 3-unit pre-requisite in step aerobics. Elevators? Do not!
make me laugh. I do not need to have taken a statistics class to know that it is
nearly impossible to use the elevators to get from the 1stfloorof Craven Hall to
the 4th floor of Academic Hall in less than 7 hours. My heart truly goes out to
the students confined to wheelchairs. Once inside an elevator, pushing a button
for a specificflooris much like rolling dice—you never know what floor you'll
actually stop on. This only substantiates the rumor that the designer of the cam
pus elevator system is also the creator of the child's board game, Chutes and
Ladders. I would like to propose that all students who must learn to negotiate
the campus elevator system on a daily basis receive full credit for having satisfied the University's Critical Thinking general education requirement.
Herein lies the true meaning of the SM of

Fatimah Cruz-Young certainly has a right to voice her opinions in the September 27 article about the Open House. However, I do wish she had taken the opportunity to talk to someone involved with the event before condemning it as a disastrous result of "poor planning".
I have been Chair of the Tenth Anniversary Committee since January 1998. F orcloseto
21 months, a large committee comprised of a cross-section of the campus community (including alums and students) has been meeting to plan, design and execute a series of 10th anniversary events taking place throughout the month of September
Our event calendar was set well ahead of Oceanside's Harbor Days and Escondido's Grape
Days. (As an aside Harbor Days attracted one-fifth the number of participants as it usually
draws due to the rainy, cold weather on that Saturday.) We were also limited in our selection
of weekend days to hold the Open House by the Jewish holiday s on September 11 and 12, the
Track event scheduling and other competing priorities.
Also, I wonder if Ms. Cruz-Young actually stayed to hear Poncho Sanchez and his Latin
Jazz Band? Certainly the crowd of300-500 people on the Forum Plaza could hardly compose
the "vacant" lawn she refers to in her article.
In addition to a careful, long planning period, the committee and several sub-committees
distributed flyers to 25 area schools; advertised in the "Union Tribune" and "North County
Times"; notified 15 other local area newspapers; aired on KPBS radio and Daniels
Cablevision; promoted through the "Pennysaver", flyers throughout campus, "The Pride",
the homepage, mailings of the special issue of the "Blueprints" to over 10,000 community
members and alumni, as well as distributed 5000 inserts of the "Blueprints" to the student
body.
The committee of volunteers worked diligently and planned carefully for many long
months. I would publicly like to thank them for their efforts. Indeed, it was disappointing to
us all that the weather prevented so many people from joining us.
Sincerely,
Jane A. Lynch
Executive Director, University Development
PRIDE EDITORS RESPONSE
Certainly The Pride joins the Tenth Anniversary Committee in its regret that the celebration was not well attended. Was it so un reasonable to blame the planning for the poor turnout? The evidence was in front of our reporter.
While you suggest that students were involved, according to ASI President Waleed
Delawari, at no time was the Associated Students invited to be a part of the Planning
Committee.
(The Pride was aware that Grape Day Festival conflicted with the Open House. We only
now learn from you that Harbor Days also conflicted.)
The Pride sought out the commentary of the few other students, besides Ms. CruzYoung, who had attended the final event of the evening. The response that The Pride
received regarding the turnout ranged from "150 would be over-estimating." to "surely no
more than 200 at the most." The Pride followed up on these student estimates with an
inquiry to Public Safety's Lt. Glen, who was present at the Tenth Anniversary Celebration
for the duration of the events. Lt. Glen estimated the total turnout for the event at 150-200
persons. The Pride finds no data that substantiates your estimate of 300-500.
The Pride commends the Tenth Anniversary committee for extensively advertising the
events. Perhaps because CSUSM is a relatively new campus, there lies much difficulty gaining recognition in the established community. This also is compounded with CSUSM's commuter school atmosphere and the challenges students face in creating a community of their
own. These are just some speculations as to account for the pathetic Open House turnout.
In addition, though the weather was unfortunate, other local events, such as Escondido's
Grape Day Festival, enjoyed a successful turnout. This fact leaves the question of blaming an
act of God (the weather), for the events' poor turnout, out of the question.
The repercussions of the Tenth Anniversary Event did not end for the student population
with Poncho Sanchez's last song. As a direct result of this fiasco, MEChA, the primary
Mexican American Student group on campus, is forced to take a back seat at this year's Pow
Wow . "We wanted to sell tostadasand nachos,but were told that all was left was popcorn
and cotton candy," states Leticia Luna MEChA's president. "Taco Pablos," a Mexican restaurant who experienced huge losses at the Open House, have been semi-compensated with
exclusive rights to sell Mexican food at the 1999 Pow W ow- over and above a student organization's needs to raise funds and share their culture.
The Pride regrets that
the wrong date for completion of the Twin Oaks
bridge was printed in the
title of an article in the
September 27th issue of
The Pride. The actual
date of completion is
April 2001. It was only
wishful thinking on our
part I suppose.

The Pride
CSUS&M Continued from pg. 2
University's lack of physical
education classes.
A four-year degree from CSU
Stair Master, regardless of one's
field of study, automatically certifies the graduate to be a personal trainer. This is a clever utilization of the "time on task"
principal, enabling everyone to
double-major.
Supervisors at the Dome have
confirmed, off the record, that all
consumables served in the food
court have been laced with extra
calories to offset the increased
caloric needs of the campus community. CSU Stair Master faculty
should be pleased to know that an
as-yet-uncirculated memorandum maintains that "Faculty may
satisfy up to an additional 6
Direct Weighted Units if they
agree to teach a class in a third or
fourth floor classroom."
The most positive side to all of
these stairs, for students, faculty,
and staff alike, is the backside.

I attended the preview of the
movie American Beauty totally
unprepared. Usually when one
sees the words American Beauty,
prize-winning perfection like the
movie's promotional red rose
comes to mind. But the newly
released film represented little
that was perfect. The Burnham

suburban family, but behind this
facade lives a severely dysfunctional family with friends and
neighbors just as maladjusted.

National Coming Out Day
October 11th is a day for lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, and transgenders (LGBTs) to come
out to others and to talk about their experiences — heterosexuals who are supportive of LGBT
visibility are also encouraged to talk about their experiences with LGBT friends who have
come out to them. On.campus we will be celebrating the day with a table in the upper plaza.
The table will be staffed by LGBT and LGBT-supportive volunteers from 10 to 4PM. We
will have literature to hand out and will be available to talk about our own coming out or the
coming out of our friends.

Vandals hurled eggs and blue
paint at the banner of Ernesto
" Che" Guevara late Wednesday
night. The banner was hung
prominently on the Science Hall
building on Wednesday. The
vandals not only d efaced the
banner but, due to their poor
aim, the Science Building was
defaced as well. Facilities' preliminary attempt to clean the
building f ailed and f urther
requires either a stronger cleaning solution, or possibly even
the grinding down of the wall.
The p etty vandalism, t hough/
did not stop MEChA (El
Movimiento
Estudiantil
Chicano d e Aztlan) f rom honoring Che Guevara on the 3 0 ^
anniversary of his death.
Ricardo Favela, vice president
of MEChA stated that " it's not
going t o stop , us or slow us
down." The banner was cleaned
and hung once again the next
day. The film, "El Che", and
bilingual discussion on Che
Guevara, sponsored by MEChA,
drew standing-room^only attendance the following Thursday
in Commons 2 06.
The discussion was set up,
according to Favela, as an educational program on Che
Guevara.
P rofessor Anibal
Yanez-Chavez and special guest
speaker Hector Muro, f rom
Mexicanos Unidos en Defensia
del Pueblo, led the discussion on
Guevara's legacy and relevance
to the problems facing us today.
The discussion covered many
different aspects of Guevara's
legacy, including his status as a
people's revolutionary hero as
well as his economic, political,
and social ideology. The discussion also covered the continued
exploitation of the Latino and
Chicano community, institutional separation of Latinos f rom
their culture, and the commercialization of G uevara's image
without the ideology he stood
for. Although the discussion
was primarily pro-Guevara,
t here were critical questions
concerning his stands on issues
such, as communism and religion.
As a young pre-med. student
traveling
through
Latin
America, Che witnessed the
P9verty of the people. He was
convinced, that the only way to
help the people was t hroughtevolution. He is well-known f or
his role in the Cuban Revolution
and in the uprisings in Zaire and
Bolivia. A medical doctor, Che
started schools, hospitals, and a
"people's" newspaper in his lifetime.
He was also the .author of theoretical works on economics,
society, and guerrilla warfare.
Some of his works include
Socialism and Man in Cuba,
Guerrilla Warfare, and Che

Seventh Annual CSUSM Pow Wow
Andrea Cavanaugh
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Drumming and singing could
be heard all over the campus on
October 2 and 3 as C SUSM's
7th. annual Pow Wow took place
on the campus soccer field.
Representatives f rom more than
50 tribes gathered along with
more than 25 vendors and
numerous student and community organizations f or what one
participant described as "a time
to celebrate being Indian."
The smell of burning sage
wafted across the field as the
drums ushered each group of
dancers into the arena. An
announcer on the stage introduced the groups and explained
the significance of the dances as
well as the protocol f or the spectators gathered around the edges
of the arena t o watch the
dahcers. Those not watching the
dancing strolled around under
the tents that lined t he field as
vendors sold jewelry, clothing,
books, artwork and f ood.
"This is a family gathering,"
said Thomas Weir, chair of site
planning and logistics f or the
Pow Wow committee, who
explained that the head dancers
chosen f or the Pow Wow symbolized the members of a traditional family. " It's also a good
time to reclaim old acquaintances." Diana Zapata thought about
her reasons f or coming to the
Pow Wow while taking part in
an intertribal dance with her
family. "We came h ere," she
said, "because w e want t o
increase our cultural awareness." C SUSM's Pow Wow is
also known as a "veterans Pow
Wow" because an estimated
80% of the adult male participants are veterans, according to
Weir.
The Pow Wow featured many
specialty dances. One dance performed was the Gourd Dance,
which h onors all veterans.
Gourd dancers wear their military service medals proudly on
their traditional red shawls and
carry gourd shakers in their right
hands. The warrior image is a
very significant aspect of Indian
culture, and that importance is
r eflected at the Pow Wow.
During t he grand entry f lags
f rom all branches of the armed
services are carried around the
arena.
Dancers, vendors, organizers
and spectators had many reasons
f or attending this y ear's Pow
Wow, ranging f rom the lush
grass and the good weather to an
appreciation f or an event known
to be a small and intimate gathering. "This i s h omey," said
arena
director
Charlie
Silverwater. "At other, bigger
Pow Wows people tend t o get
lost."
"This is a good way to learn
about Indian culture," said vendor D elphina Oclitso-Barr, a
N avajo Indian. When asked if

Dear Psyche Fairy,
scrutiny placed upon Greek Organizations, a letter to the editor in
the October 4 edition further proved this point. This letter to the editor strengthens the argument regarding the stereotypes, and ignorance toward Greek Letter Organizations.
Maybe i t's because some are intimidated by the idea of an organization designed to contribute and provide support to not only its
members, but its surrounding community. Greek Organizations here
at CSU San Marcos and throughout the country do more community service and help the American Public than any other NON-PROFIT Organization. However when something goes wrong Greeks are
the first to blame, similar to the blatant attack at one of these organizations in that letter to the editor, evoked entirely because of a simple misquote. It's as if these organizations are constantly being
judged and scrutinized by a relentless eye, and at the first sign of difficulty the vultures are quick to attack. I 'm left to wonder what could
evoke this ignorance in a community, which we strive to help each
day of our lives? Maybe they are threatened by the leadership skills
that these organizations impose upon their members, and the high
potentials that each individual is encouraged to strive towards.
Is it just coincidence that almost 40 Presidents of the United
States were in a social Fraternity, or that 90 percent of all President
and C EO's of Fortune 500 Companies were in Greek Letter
Organizations? Even looking at leadership here at CSU San Marcos
ASI President Waleed Delawari, ASI Programming Rep Mbalaka
Monololo, and Undergraduate Rep Jesus Corona are all in Sigma
Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. ASI Vice President Robert Radovich is in
Tau Kappa Epsilon, ASI College of Business Rep Newsha Digius,
and Inter Club Council Vice Chair Arti Patel are in Alpha Chi
Omega Sorority. It's obvious that Greek Organizations are serious
when they claim to develop individuals who get involved, and make
a difference. When people try to discredit and belittle these organizations, which stand to make a difference and help those who are
less fortunate, says a lot for the world we live in. There remains little room to ponder why there are less acts of good will and kindhearted people in our society.

Together Student Organizations, " and "Brotherhood on Campus"
articles The Pride portrayed social Greek fraternities evenhandedly and in a positive light. The stereotypes which you so ardently argue against are those expressed by some members of the campus community. The Pride supports the efforts of the Greek
fraternities in their efforts to combat the stereotypes which they
face.

The next building students
should expect to see on campus is the M. Gordon Clark
Athletic Field House, partially
funded by a $1.2 million donation made by Helen Clark in
honor of her late husband. The
total expected cost of the project, to be completed in
November 2001, is $7.1 million. $1.4 million is to come
from donations while "most of
the f unds, $4.5 million, will
come f rom student f ees

facility will house weight
rooms, locker rooms, and

For those of you unacquainted with the struggle of the United

Foundation has until June to
raise $1.5 million in donations

1A in November making state
bond money available for the
new library, adding to the $1
million donation received from
Rancho Santa Fe residents
Jean and W. Keith Kellogg II
in 1996.
The new Library is expected
to cost $44.6 million after it is
built and furnished. It will
measure 198,000 square feet,
and is expected to hold
840,000 printed volumes with
seating for 1,600 students. This
dwarfs the current Library

"You have breast cancer" is a sentence no
one wants to hear in her lifetime. October is
Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Pride
will print articles concerning this important
issue as a special service to the women and
men at CSUSM.
6. (A diagnosis of breast cancer i s an emergency.) Most breast cancers have been present for eight to ten years by the time you
can f eel a lump, and s o there certainly i s
time for you to get a second opinion, to
read, and to f ully explore the options.
Ten Myths about Breast Cancer (from
Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book)
* Some health professionals do not agree
with Dr. Love on this issue.
7. (A mastectomy ensures that the cancer i s
gone forever.) Mastectomy will remove the
breast, however, it will not guarantee that
the cancer will not recur. Eight to ten percent of women will have a recurrence in the
scar after a mastectomy and there is also the
p ossibility o f metastases (spreading).
Lumpectomy and radiation are as good as
mastectomy in preventing breast cancer
from returning.
1. (Having f ibrocystic disease increases
your risk of breast cancer.) Fibrocystic disease i s a general term for any benign
process in the breast and does not increase
the risk of breast cancer.
2. ( Coffee increases your risk of breast cancer.) C offee was once thought to increase
the symptoms of fibrocystic disease. This
was found not to be true and, in some statistics, c offee prevents breast cancer.
3. (Only women with a family history o f
breast-cancer are at risk.) 80% of women
who develop breast cancer have no family
history, although women who have a family
history of breast cancer are at increased
risk.
4. (Mammography is 100% accurate in early
breast cancer detection.) Mammography is a
very important tool for detecting breast cancer early, however, it is not 100% accurate.*
Any woman who has a lump ^nd has a normal mammogram still needs to have it
checked out.
5. (Older women don't have to worry about •
breast cancer.) The older you are, the higher your risk of breast cancer. So all women
need to worry about breast cancer.
8. (A breast cancer diagnosis i s a death sentence.) We cure most early breast cancer
with standard treatments. Even women who
are not cured of breast cancer are certainly
able to add three to f ive disease-free years
to their l ives.
9. (Breast s elf-exams done routinely will
find all cancers at a curable state.) Breast
s elf-exams have never been shown to make
a difference in the mortality of breast cancer. It i s wishful thinking to b elieve it can
always find cancer at a curable stage.
10. (Only women get breast cancer.) Men
are also able to get breast cancer and, in
fact, there are some 5 00 cases every year of
breast cancer in men in this country.
As part of Breast Cancer Awareness
Month, it would seem only natural to
include a "How to do a Breast Self-Exam"
for the women at CSUSM. This three-step
technique comes to you courtesy of The
Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
The best time to examine your breasts i s
during the week after your period. That's
when your breasts will be s oftest and least
tender, and a lump will be easiest to find.
You might feel uncomfortable and afraid the
first f ew times you examine your breasts,
but the more you get to know the characteristics of your breasts, the more comfortable
the exam will become.
In the shower: Raise one arm and place
your hand on the back of your head. S lowly
and methodically, move the pads of your
fingertips over the breast in a circular pattern. Don't forget to f eel in the armpit area.
Repeat on the other side.
Before a mirror: With your arms resting
at your sides, look for changes in the shape
of your breasts, as well as s welling, dimpling, or indentations in the skin, or changes
in the skin or nipples. Then raise your arms
over your head and repeat the procedure.
Finally, place the palms of your hands on
your hips and press down s o that your chest
muscles f lex; again, look for changes in the
breasts and nipples.
Lying down: Lie down and put a pillow
under your right shoulder and your right
arm behind your head. Using the pads of
your fingertips, make the same circular.pattern of your right breast as y ou did in the
shower. Don't forget to feel the armpit and
the chest area from the collarbone to below
the breast. Repeat, using firmer pressure.
Squeeze the nipple gently to see if there's
any discharge. Repeat the procedure on the
l eft breast.
Report any strange findings or changes to
your doctor right away!

Rape Aggression Defense Class for Women
Victoria B. Segall
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
One in four college women
have reportedly been sexually
assaulted during their college
years, according to a Ms.
Magazine Poll that studied sexual assault and rape. CSUSM has
5,600 students, 2/3 of whom are
female. The statistics indicate
that of the 3,700 females, 25%
of the women on campus may
fall victim to rape.?— a frightening concept. Fortunately there
are ways women on campus can
protect themselves and reduce
their risks, of being attacked.
One way is through CSUSM's
Rape Aggression Defense Class
for Women (RAD). RAD begins
Wednesday, October 13, and
runs through October 22. There
are four class dates total, two
Wednesday and two Friday night
classes from 6:30pm - 9:30pm in
the Visual & Performing Arts
Annex. More RAD Classes will
be offered every other month
Rape Aggression Defense
Classes for Women are present
in several colleges and universities across the country. RAD
was developed in Virginia in
1978 by a retired police officer.
According to Larry Dadeau,
Executive Director of RAD, the
objective of the classes are: "To
develop and enhance the options
of self-defense, so they may
become viable considerations to
the woman who is attacked."
RAD has been present at
CSUSM f or about f ive years.
The RAD classes teach selfdefense strategies—practicing
both physical and verbal techniques and, most importantly,
teach the women how to become
more aware of their surroundings and avoid dangerous situations. Students also gain additional information f rom guest
speakers like locksmiths and
members of the Escondido
Youth Encounter. Perhaps the
most exciting part of RAD is
the last night of class. On the last
night the students take part in
individual attack simulations
where they will experience three
set-scenarios. The set scenarios
will include at least two "attackers,"including instructor Officer
Mario Sainz, dressed in protective head and body gear. In the
event that the s tudent may
become nervous and " freeze,"
the control monitor, who oversees the scenario, will stop the
scenario and continue the simu-
lation when the student is ready.
Instructors design the classes to
suit the needs of the students of
RAD; participants have ranged
f rom ages twelve to eighty-three
years old.
m
T he instructors go through
rigorous physical training and
tests and volunteer their time to
teach the classes. Officer Mario
Sainz, who has been teaching
the class f or almost six years, is
the official instructor f or RAD.

Freshmen Fat
Mike Spangler
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
"The Freshman F ifteen." You may
have had it. Some still carry the burden well beyond their freshman year.
What is it? The phenomenon of first
year college freshman gaining fifteen
pounds of body weight. "It happens,
and do you know why? Pizza. Pizza
and soda are the number one cause"
says Susan Carman, Licensed
Vocational Nurse and CSUSM Health
Educator.
Students who think that they might
need to make a change in their diet can
eliminate the guesswork by consulting
the CSUSM Student Health Services
Center? Students can schedule a thirtyniinute appointment to receive a FREE
computerized nutritional analysis of
their diet, or a FREE Body
Composition Analysis that details an
individual's percentage of body fat,
ideal weight, and basal metabolic rate.
One could even schedule an hour-long
appointment and do them both. The
body composition analysis is typically
priced between $50-75 at a health spa.
The f ree services do not stop there.
With every scheduled appointment,
students can also get nutritional counseling f rom Susan Carman and her 15
years of experience. "I work with
foods the person likes to eat," says
Carman, adding "Pizza i sn't all bad. It
j ust needs to be balanced with a
salad." I t's difficult to make radical
changes. Carman d oesn't promote
food restriction but prefers that students "add in healthy f oods."
For many freshmen, attending college is their first experience away from
the home. O ften students must rearrange their daily routine to f it their
new class, study, and social schedules.
Diet and exercise are often the first to
be compromised.
When asked to reflect on "The
Campus Beat" question in the
September 26th issue of The Pride, "If
you could change anything in the cafeteria, what would it b e?" Carman
responded " I'd like to see them have
nutritional values available f or all of
the f oods. I 've made suggestions
b efore, but they seldom listen."
Sounds like the supervisors f rom the
Dome need to call 750-4915 and
schedule an appointment to use the
"Nutritionist 4 " computerized nutritional analysis program.
why say it twice
when once will suffice?

Computer friendships and
romantic relationships come as
no surprise with the spread of the
Internet in the everyday lives of
most people. It is not unusual to
hope f or the blossoming of
" cyber-love" into an "in-theflesh," physical relationship.
But oh, Psyche Fairy and others,
be forewarned! Danger can lurk
in the shadows of deceptively
innocent binary data and online
flirtation.
To explain, the same types of
predators who stalk people in the
non-digital world have found a
new realm of darkness in which
to gather information and find
cover on the Internet. Here i s but
one way these stalkers win over
the unsuspecting:
It is relatively easy to lurk in a
chat room, observe who is talk-
ing to whom, and get on someone's email list. When emails
are sent, most people include
their recipient list in the to: field
of the message.
Recipients
names and addresses are often
listed here. Once these names
and addresses go out, the lurker
can then go back to the chat
room armed with name, screen
name, email address* and after a
quick to any online White Pages
service, the phone number, physical address, and even a point to
point map to the home of almost
anyone from the list. The lurker,
who should now be considered a
stalker, can pretend to know people known to those with whom
he/she is corresponding.
A
Mend of a friend has more credibility than a stranger, and trust is
more easily gained in this manner. From here, life becomes a
waking nightmare for*the victim
of the stalker.
So, how does one engage in
online romance without risking
being stalked? First and foremost, proceed with caution.
Protect your information and you
protect yourself. Protect yourself and your friends by putting
email addresses in the bcc: field
(blind carbon copy). When that
new cyber-love wants to meet,
ask f or references.
If that
offends him/her, drop this cyberloser faster than T1 line download time! Before meeting,
make sure that you have thoroughly checked out their references. Finally, meet at the local
police station. That should cool
the j ets of most ne'er-do-wells.
How you proceed wiH decide if
you think lovebytes means
online love in its fullest expression, or love bites.

There's a bright future ahead
f or Re-Entry students. At eighteen, Robin Keehn enrolled in
college, at age twenty, she opted
to drop out. After ten years of
working as a waitress and a
housekeeper, Robin decided that
it was time to go back to college
and to eventually pursue a
career. While looking to enroll at
SDSU, she was steered to
CSUSM, which was closer to
her home in North County.
Having had an interest in the arts
and writing in high school, she
chose Liberal Arts as her major.
The university offered academically challenging course work,
small classes, and a dedicated
faculty. Focused on finishing her
college education, Robin found
that CSUSM would satisfy her
academic objective. " I had a
sense of earnestness, commitment and desire to learn, traits
that are common f or re-entry
students," she says, " I found
every class fascinating and each
professor someone I wanted to
get to know."
After receiving her Bachelors
degree in 1992, Dr. Ken
Mendoza convinced Robin to go
on f or a Ph.D.. Keehn applied to
UCSD and was accepted to the
Literature
and
Writing
Department. There she interacted with students who had graduated f rom prestigious universities such as Yale and Princeton.
When asked if it was intimidating to compete with the other
students she replied, "The education I received at CSUSM
gave me absolute confidence to
reach my goal." Today, you will
find her name on a plaque in
Craven Hall among CSUSM's
first graduating class. Even more
impressive, Dr. Keehn teaches in
the Literature and Writing
department and is the director of
CSUSM's Writing Center. She
says of her accomplishment, "It
may sound cliche, but it is a
dream come true. I am thrilled
and privileged to be here."
Dr. Keehn, a native San
Diegan, lives in North County
with her husband and four-yearold daughter. Her husband, who
was also a re-entry student,
teaches English at the local community college. Sharing some

"don'fcfocuson what you should
have done but concentrate and
enjoy what y ou're doing now."
She invites re-entry students to
contact her at the Writing Center.
Pow Wow Cont. from pg. 1
Although our version of the
Pow Wow is a modern development, it has roots in ancient traditions. History Professor A1
Schwartz explained that the
name "Pow Wow" comes f rom
the Algonquin word for "doctor"
and has evolved into its presentday meaning because of the
dancing and drumming which
accompanied* the
healing
process. "The modern Pow Wow
is less than a century old, but it
connects to things that are 5000
years old," he said.
year. Along with the organ
izers, he credited the approximately 50 volunteers, many of
them CSUSM students, with
making the Pow Wow happen.
she thought Pow Wows perpetuated stereotypes about Indians,
Oclitso-Barr suggested that people should look beyond the Pow
Wow to learn about other aspects
of Indian life. "This is j ust the
f ace" of a rich cultural tradition,
she said. "There's a lot more to
it."
Part cultural expression, part
spiritual ritual, part social gathering, the Pow Wow represented
different things to different people as they watched and listened,
ate and shopped. " It's a time f or
rejoicing about what we have,"
said Ernest Black Wolf Flebotte,
a vendor, Gpurd Dancer,
Vietnam veteran, and Algonquin
Indian f rom Canada.
The Pow Wow at CSUSM has

grown tremendously f rom its
humble beginnings as a storytelling session attended by 300400 people in the faculty parking
lot. Weir estimated that 5000 to

PAUL BLANCHARD / The Pride
The goal of the Pow Wow is
not to make a profit, Weir said,
but to break even. The Pow Wow
hopes each year to put away
some seed money for the next
year, so that the committee is not
starting f rom scratch. "So f ar
w e've been successful."
One person who was extremely happy about that success was

When you hear the words "Geek L ife," what images come to mind?
Do you picture scenes f rom "Fresh Prince of Bel Air," like Carlton
Banks dancing, or the unforgettable Steve Erkel on "Family
Matters"? Or are you completely oblivious and could care less about
Geek L ife on campus? Either way, you should be a little curious
because Geeks can be found in the classrooms of every college, and
they riiay even be future co-workers. Would you have ever guessed
that the likes of Bill Gates, Robin Williams, E ltonJohn, R2D2, and
all of "The Wallflowers" were GEEKS?
I have information f rom good sources that there were many famous
historical GEEKS, long before the American Greek L ife craze of
1776. The likes of Beethoven, Napoleon, Socrates and Jesus are j ust
a few with Geek roots. The good news about GEEK LIFE is that
GEEKS ARE OUT! Yes, Geeks never were in the closet! Geeks
d on't have to give secret handshakes, have mottoes, or take oaths t o
discuss their revolutionary ideas. In fact, Geeks have infiltrated
CSUSM, You may have seen a few of us on campus. W hile Greeks
are busy with RUSH the first few weeks of class, a Geek d oesn't rush
into anything. In fact, a Geek may wander aimlessly throughout the
campus, (so as not to look lost), arriving fashionably late to class.
While Greeks require an evening gown or black tie ensemble for various functions, a Geek may. easily show up i h T-shirts and jeans,
Birkenstocks, any rubber-soled shoe, or a stylish oxford without
socks. A BMW may be the Greek's choice of transportation, but not
a Geek's. A Geek seeks out alternative modes of transportation to
promote and encourage a healthy environment for humans and other
living creatures. An occasional Geek can be seen purchasing their
monthly student bus pass at the ASI office, locking up their trusty
bicycle steed outside of the dome, or (my personal choice) riding a
little red scooter. I have reason to believe that you probably know a
Geek, or even have one in your family!
Then again, there is always the chance that, yes, you too could be a
GEEK. The following is a questionnaire to see if you are a GEEK:
1. Are you a slave to fashion?
2. Do you drive your daddy's BMW to school?
3. Do you watch every episode of Ally McBeal?
4. Have you secretly wished you were in a fraternity/sorority?
If you answered NO to two or more of these questions you may be
a GEEK or have strong GEEK tendencies. But FEAR NOT! I hereby offer the students of Cal State San Marcos the alternative to Greek
Life. GEEK LIFE! There is NO criteria for geeks, no bids for membership, or chance of exclusivity. One does not have to hold high
social status in the community, nor have a minimum income. You
will never be asked to wear formal attire, at any time. If this sounds
too good to be true, you are on your way to being a GEEK! If by
chance you are still a little shy, perhaps f earful of what others may
think of you, you may not be ready j ust yet. Give it time. Your true
identity will come forth; there is no denying GEEKNESS. After all,
CSUSM is an institution of diversity is it not? GO GEEKS! If you
feel you may be a GEEK but are afraid to come out, please feel f ree
to contact the Geek email hotline at scootergeek@yahoo.com. May
the GEEKS be with you.

classes was the rise in the occurrence of rape in her city, Escondido.
After taking the class, she was impressed by the number of defense
options she had learned. "It's nice to know y ou're doing something
for yourself," Barb said.
There are also two separate RAD classes for children ages 5-7 and
ages 8-10. This class has been present in CSUSM f or two years. In
the RAD Class for Kids the children learn how to prevent accidents

I Bificus is Biff Naked's latest solo effort. This album has
quickly become a well-played addition to my collection with
its mix of alternative, folk and punk. With hints of N o Doubt,
Madonna and countless others, this album has a little of
everything f or everyone. With B iff's ability to sound punk
and somehow sweet at the same time, it is difficult not to fall
in love with her seductive voice. The lyrics are well written,
but not quite up to the standards of other female writers such
as Ani DiFranco and Tori Amos.
The newest film f rom German
director Katja von Gamier starring Jutta H offmann (Marie),
Nicolette Krebitz
(Angel),
Jasmine Tabatabai (Luna) and
Katja Riemann (Emma), Bandits
shook box o ffice records
throughout Europe. The combination prison break, road movie,
and action-adventure set to a
soundtrack that is the highest
selling soundtrack of any
European film to date, is sure to
draw crowds in America as well.
A combination of A Hard Day's
Night meets Thelma and Lousie,
the f ilm's soundtrack is its driving force, and i s made up primarily of songs by Tabatabai and
Krebitz, two of the films multitalented performers.
The filmmakers had initially
commissioned additional compositions f rom outside writers
and musicians, but the commissioned works lacked the depth
and feeling of the music of
Tabatabai and Krebitz: "Beyond
the first three songs, I had not
intended on using other songs of
theirs," confessed von Gamier.
"But the outside music did not
share the feeling of the project.
They (Krebitz and Tabatabai)
were so musically creative at that
time, and being on the film nearly from the beginning, their soul
f or the film came out in their
music."
The f ilm's story line of a
female prison rock band that has
escaped and is on the run is both
engaging and lighthearted. Yet
the f ilm's ability to evoke a range
of responses f rom the audience,
f rom laughter to apprehension,
marks it as something more than
the standard action movie. The
f our characters and their flight
f or freedom along the Autobahn,
while being chased by both the
police and throngs of newfound
fans, quickly involves the viewer
in their plight. The cinematography of the film is as artful as its
soundtrack; it makes use of the
b eautiful scenery along the
Autobahn, and uses some nice
angles and filters throughout.
All in all, I found the film and the
soundtrack both engaging and
enjoyable.
Though each song has a familiar sound, Biff Naked has
created her very own style which pours f rom her soul. The
bottom line is that if you like No Doubt, Madonna, and Blink
182, check out Biff Naked's / Bificus.

Series f or Fall 1999, the exhibit
opened on Wednesday, October
6, at 3:00 pm with a warm reception in the library courtyard of
CSUSM. The courtyard was
abuzz with the arrival of the
renowned artist. Fashionably
late, Mr. Aleman arrived to greet
eager students, faculty and staff
with grace and an unassuming
nature. Working closely with
Cesar Chavez f or ten years,
(1980-1990) Aleman was fortunate to capture many personal
and unique photographs of the
contemporary folk hero.
Much of A leman's work
embodies intimate settings of
Cesar Chavez with family and
friends. Other, more political
settings portray Chavez as the
activist of the people. Numerous
celebrities are noticed throughout the collection of photographs. Martin Sheen, Lou
Diamond Phillips, Edward
James Olmos and Mile Farrell
are j ust some of the luminaries
shown in alliance and support of
Chavez' cause, and contribution
to the labor movement.
Victor Aleman has been
awarded many honors f or his
work documenting the human
condition. He is currently the
editor of Vida Nueva, a Spanish
weekly in Los Angeles. Other
projects include two books in
production, one of Cesar CMvez
and the other a photo documentary of the conditions in El
Salvador since 1970.
Victor Aleman's exhibit will
run through November 30 at the

�Savvy Seniors Make Their Way
June Hodges
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Some wear bi-focals. Their
hair may be gray or tastefully
tinted. They have permanently
etched laugh lines around their
insightful eyes. While their spirits are young, their physical bodies are not, so they climb the
stairs in a leisurely manner.
They never miss class and are
always on time. Most of them
do not feel the need to dress in
the latest fashions and so they
dress comfortably and conservatively. Who are these people?
They are the senior citizen students at CSUSM who range in
age f rom sixty to eighty-one.
The average age of a typical
CSUSM student is twenty-eight
years old out of a total enrollment of over five thousand.
There are twenty-four women
and fifteen men enrolled this f all
semester. There are two eightyone year old freshmen and nine
who are working on post-baccalaureate degrees. There are
nine others who will receive
bachelor's degrees in Visual and
Performing Arts,
History,
LTWR, Sociology, and Women's
Studies during the Fall,
1999/Spring, 2000 semesters.On
May 27, 2000, they will "walk"
across the stage and be handed a
"sheepskin" in f ront of their
proud, cheering f amilies and
friends. It will be a day of celebration and triumph because
they have persisted and achieved
the goal of graduating f rom a
four-year University. The culmination of life-long hopes and
dreams will be f ulfilled f or them
after years of working, raising
children (sometimes as a single
parent), attending PTA meetings, working as Scout leaders,
chauffeuring children between
sporting events, band practices,
dance lessons and sewing miles
of sequins on m arching costumes.
Most of them did all these
things while providing a home
life at the same time. For all students, whether ' fresh out of high
school' or re-entering college,
there are the usual fears. "Will I
be accepted by my peers? Will
they laugh at m e or think I 'm
dumb when I ask a lot of questions? Can I handle the workload
that i s expected of me? Am I too
young or too old? Will my disablement prevent me f rom keeping up with the rest of the class?"
While these are universal worries, f or senior citizens they are
more pronounced. A young
woman interviewed in the Dome
said, "When I see older students
in my classes, it makes me think
hard about why I 'm here. They
deserve a lot of respect and I
love the different perspectives

members of MEChA in a meeting on Monday, October 11, following the vandalism of a banner of Che Guevara hung by the
student group. Gonzalez had
been scheduled to give a motivational talk at the meeting prior
to the vandalism. However,
when the floor was opened for
questions, few people had questions about the history of
MEChA, and the conversation
with the president was re-directed to current events.
A Senate-sponsored forum
with President Alexander
Gonzalez, Vice President of
Academic Affairs Richard Karas,
and members of the CSUSM faculty was held on Wednesday,
October 13.
The meeting's focus had much
to do with George Diehr's
October 10, 1999 article entitled
"Cal State San Marcos fat on
overhead, thin on professors" and
the points that the article had
raised. Gonzalez spoke for close
to an hour on the university's
budget after the meeting began.
"We need to trust each other,"
said Gonzalez* who continued to
reiterate similar phrases throughout the forum. Diehr's statement
in his "op-ed" piece that "we need
a full accounting by an independent auditor of the CSUSM budget,
" was the apparent point of contention. Gonzalez's reply to this
charge was "my books are open."
Gonzalez outlined his budget
plan before the meeting was
opened for general discussion.
The discussion ceniered on the
issues of faculty workload and
development, and the Retention
and Tenure Process (RTP), but
also addressed the line item costs
of athletics and president's initiatives in the university's budget, as
well as the costs related to uncompleted buildings.
Faculty questioned the desir-
ability of what the campus has to
offer. Karas responded, "location,
cost, quality and proximity."
However, as noted by one faculty
member, if CSUSM cannot compete in the national market for
new faculty members, educational quality will be compromised.
In response to a question
regarding opportunities that were
missed to defend the university's
stance on budget issues through
public statements, Gonzalez told
faculty "you take it the public,
you're going to lose." This was
further evinced through statements regarding the notions that
airing troubles in public, and the
amount of good it would do,
would only invite comments to
the contrary.
Gonzalez made clear that allegations of misuse of funds would
only back him into a corner, giving him less room to respond to
faculty concerns in a flexible
manner. Gonzalez made clear that
he has the final say in setting the
workload for faculty, in this
instance four classes every Fall
and Spring semester. He would,
however prefer acquiescence, a
consensual compromise.
Gonzalez also stated that he
was not looking into a trimester
system for CSUSM but acknowledges that there are some adaptable classes that include accelerated courses.

differing views can coexist. I
would like to reiterate that we
will continue to support diversity in all its forms. We will not
condone nor tolerate any breach
of behavior or policy that threatens our commitment to an open

Gonzalez Addresses Mechistas
In a statement presented at
the meeting, the Mechistas outlined their position concerning
the incident. Included in the
statement is a request that
President Gonzalez make "a
written statement to the university students, staff and faculty
denouncing [the] act as an act of
disrespect arid disregard towards
Che Guevara, MEChA,
Professor Y&nez-Chavez and the
Liberal Studies department, and
the University itself." The document also observed that the vandalism is "an attack on our
(MEChAVthe students') freedom of expression".
President Gonzalez responded
to the suggestion that the vandalism was directly aimed at the
banner of Che Guevara by stating that it could not be determined if it was indeed a targeted
act of vandalism. WhenLeticia

Dear Editors:
I am rather perturbed by the ethical foundations of a new group
formation on campus, the Young
Americans for Freedom. The
group, not a CSUSM or CSI recognized group, professed their
stance on freedoms of choice,
which is great. The foundations
of freedpm of choice, laissezfaire market principles, and the
importance of teaching the
virtues of Liberty are all critical
elements to be upheld and highly revered in America. And the
approach towards Liberalization
(privatization) of American
structures is an ideal that, as a
moderate libertarian, I could not
help but be pleased at. However,
I was profoundly disturbed by
other explicit and underlying
principles YAF maintains, such
as the professed support of "the

Dear Editors:
I recently was made aware of the
YAF (Young Americans for
Freedom) group on campus; I
don't know how many people on

outraged and disgusted. Why
don't they just list their reasons

on campus." The foundation of
freedom is rights, and the right to
believe in and maintain a sociopolitical stance on Communism
is a right, and the suggestion of
eradicating it is a direct contradiction to the premises of freedom. Usurping and diminishing
the right to belief is not upholding freedom, but killing it. In the
same light, denying rights to
practice deviant sexuality is
tyrannical in its ideology as well,
as suggested in their clause of
support for "the choice to prosecute gerbilers, pedophiles, transvestites, and other sexual
deviants." I wish to express my
discontent at the low denominator of angst this group has
against fellow students on campus. There is so much potential
to promote freedom positively.

exploited and are forced to live in
poverty and misery. The fact is
that there exists a great inequality
between white people here, who
in general, benefit from the
exploitation of people around the
world, and the Mexican, African
and Native American people who
live in this country. You only need
to walk through an African or
Mexican community and see the
conditions in which we live, and
go walk through a suburban community of white people to see the
drastic inequality which exists.
And you only need to go to the
fields where the farmworkers live
and work, to see that they are
nothing but 20th century, and now
21st century, slave plantations.
And it was exactly this inequality
between humans that Che gave his
life to eliminate. He took up arms
because he knew that the rich
would not give up their stolen
wealth without a fight. He knew
that the police and the army only
exist to maintain that inequality
arid to defend the stolen property
of the rich.
Yet despite the fact that over the
past 30 years, the rich have only
gotten richer and the poor have
gotten poorer, despite the fact that
almost every right that we fought
for during the civil-rights era has
been stripped away, despite the
fact that the civil-rights movement
has been betrayed, and despite the
fact' that the C.I. A. keeps pumping
in drugs and guns into Mexican
and African communities, some
will say that Che's ideas are only
the result of the '60's and will forever remain in the '60's. What
they are telling us is to not be idealistic. What they are telling us is
to stop thinking of how to better
our people's conditions. What
they are telling us is to stop thinking for ourselves. To stop acting
for ourselves. They are telling us
that we will always be an exploited people, that we will always be
a permanent underclass...
And on this day, in the spirit of
Che Guevara, of Emiliano Zapata,
of Huey Newton and Reyes
Tijerina, we will say, 'They can

My name is Samantha Beltram
and I am an Indian student on this
campus. I am vice-president of
the American Indian Student
Excellence Society (AISES).
I've been involved in AISES
since Fall '98 and active in the
American Indian community in
California since 1996. I've developed a cordial relationship with
the advisor of our club and the
Pow Wow Committee in relation
to coordinating activities. The
advisor and the Powwow committee are instrumental in educating the general student population about American Indian
culture. But in the last couple of
months I've been noticing how
my relationships with these key
players are limiting me, and
American Indian students in general, by limiting our participation
in educating the campus about
our heritage and in developing
our leadership capabilities/
This can be best described and
exemplified in terms of
CSUSM's Annual Pow Wow. I
noticed an article in the last issue
that delivered a very positive
image of the Pow Wow. The article had good intentions in that the
spirit of the writer was in a good
place and that they gave relevant
information about Indian culture
and Pow Wow in general, but I
recognized that only certain perspectives were represented. This
is not enough, more perspectives
need to be voiced, expressed and
offered to the public awareness. I
now will offer an American
Indian student's perspective:
The relationship between the
Pow Wow Committee and AISES
has historically been limited. My
experience has been that
American Indian students can
only voice their opinion regarding the organizing of the Pow
Wow. But the actual planning and
organizing of the Pow Wow has

only. As Indian students, our role
in this "organizing" has been to
post flyers, sell T-shirts, sell programs, collect water donations
for the Pow Wow staff, and other
colorful jobs of this sort. We have
never been given the direct participatory role in the actual planning of the Pow Wow. For example, we don't get to decide who
the actual participants are such
as: the drummers, the MC, etc.
Yet this is a significant aspect of
our culture and of the Pow Wow

dent involvement in its livelihood. We were also informed that
the person who was responsible
for the vendor contracts "messed
up" and as result we had no truly
"exclusive" rights since vendors
would also be selling water. As I
was doing these things I was
treated very badly; treated like a
child. I felt very disrespected,
patronized, lied to, dismissed,
excluded...you name it. In short, I
was made to feel less than
human. Yet at the end of the
Pow Wow, the Pow Wow
Committee demanded that
Indian students (i.e. representing AISES) be recognized as
part of their Committee in an
honoring song. An honoring
song is given by the Community
to give thanks and show gratitude to those organizing and
hosting the event. I felt Pow
Wow Committee's action was
wrong because it was misleading
the community into thinking that
we were part of hosting, organizing and putting on the Pow Wow,
when in reality we weren't. Not
only is this inappropriate to ask,
it just adds insult to injury being
so disrespectful as to demand
Indian students to come out and
be "honored" for something they
were never given the opportunity
or honor to do.
The Pow Wow committee
maintains that there are not
enough American Indian students
interested in getting involved.
During this time I have understood that American Indian student involvement on campus has
been minimal, (reflecting both
the low numbers of Indian students existing on this campus and
the absence of voting power for
students in the Pow Wow
Committee.) So what we chose to
do as students interested in our
heritage was to be involved in
this special event in what little we
were allowed to do by the
Committee: we distributed flyers, (two of us brought dessert

basic respect to students and student expression. I was outright
disappointed in the outcome of
our relationship because this was
an event that I truly put all my
effort and all my heart in. This is
supposed to be a community
event. It is a cultural event and
NOT an administrative function
for those with the titles- to make
sure everyone knew their name.
The Pow Wow isn't supposed to
exist to service their big
"University image and to give
them some more kudos with
which to meet their status quo. I
had had such optimistic, high
hopes but after this experience
my view of this relationship has
most definitely changed.
I've been trying to maintain
this relationship at all costs- we
still sold the Pow Wow
Committee's T-shirts and programs, even though our "exclusive" water rights were sacrificed.
These are issues that need to
be worked on toward a positive
resolution that will benefit students. Indeed, one of these problems between the Pow Wow
Committee and Indian students
are already being addressed.
Bonnie Biggs, Chairperson of the
Pow Wow Committee, has promised to give classes to AISES
members about the logistics of
organizing a Pow Wow. My hope
is that AISES will see a commitment in the form of a set
date on this so as this becomes
one promise that actually
becomes reality.
Being offered, and afforded
the opportunity to learn about
how to run a Pow Wow is definitely a good starting point.
However, the issue that still
remains (and which is never
addressed) is the issue of giving
voting privilege for AISES as an
organization. This would enable
students, through a vote as a club,
the opportunity to directly participate in the planning and organizing of the Pow Wow. Lastly, it
must be understood that all students should be given the dignity
o f being treated as adults regardless of our educational level. My
hope and vision for the future is
that the relationship between
Native American students and the
Powwow Committee will be
more amicable and genuine.
Other examples:
First of all I am a woman, not a
child. I am certain that as a
human being I deserve to be
treated with the respect due to
any human being. Just because
we are students and do not yet
have the educational degrees and
fancy titles that key members of
the Pow Wow Committee have
does not mean that we do not
deserve to be treated with
respect. It is not okay to manipulate students to the benefit of
individual agendas and images.

of broken promises. I saw the
dishonesty of the committee and
what Indian students of the past
had whispered in warning come
true. This was a very bad experience and what is so unfortunate
about this situation is that it didn't have to he that way.
On a final note, I encourage

In closing, I hope that the
American Indian faculty and
staff will support these resolutions, and in the future that they
will support Indian students in a
more active and diplomatic way.

I feel like I 'm trapped in
emotional slavery. There's
someone that I care about, that I
love so much, that I would do
anything for them. They know
this, and never seemed to mind
this devotion. I don't mind
being taken for granted every
now and again, but it seems like
recently that they've been overly paranoid and defensive. I'm
so scared that I've done something at some time to offend
this person or make them subconsciously angry with me. It's
almost like the person that I
knew, the person whose personality was so unique and intriguing that it made my heart skip a
beat when they spoke to me;
somehow... went away. Is there
something I can do to make
them feel better? I've tried
everything, .and yes, I tried to
leave them alone. For one of the
few times in my life, I feel helpless. Please, I hope there's
something you can tell me to
bring just a little bit of ease to
my heart. I've never been so
scared in my life... I don't want
to lose this person out of my
own ignorance.

for the rest of the show. I thought that the comedians were funnier than

language. One comic, a Molecular Biology major, told jokes about
Road Rage, and gave impersonations of teachers on campus — and the

"Another Day in the Life of a Re-entry Student"
"I'm too sick to go to school," the dreaded words. Once again
today, like many times in the last three years, I was faced with
choosing between my classes and an eleven-year child who is
frequently sick. My child suffers from recurrent migraines,
accompanying stomach complaints, and an asthma-like condition, in addition to the normal sore throats and colds that most
kids get. I ask myself, why was she so healthy before I started
back to school. Why now, at a time in my life where I decide it's
my turn to have a life, do so many complications seem to occur?
As if a Re-Entry student doesn't already have enough on her/his
plate. The guilt in thinking of just 'myself' piles onto an
already overcrowded plate; guilt fills anxiety levels to a premium, and does as much damage to the body as daily 1,500 calorie desserts. Nothing undoes me more than choosing between
my child and myself. Getting through the math requirements
starting from ground zero was bad enough, and I thought nothing, NOTHING, could be as bad as algebra and statistics. I was
wrong. We can send people to the moon, but we can't get alternate care for a sick child down here on earth where it really matters. It turns out that there is no place to take a sick child, there
is no one who can instantly appear on your doorstep and stay
with your child, especially if you're unlucky enough to have
your immediate family live 3,000 miles away.
I can give only marginal advice to fellow parents. Most professors understand enough to give a student the benefit of the
doubt. E-mail your professors, explain the situation, and do the
best you can. Even though most syllabi state a mandatory attendance policy, there are times when perfect attendance is not possible. When you have a chronically sick child, it might be smart
to consider going to school part time, since parenting is a full
time job. Re-think your priorities and your goals and accomplish
little chunks at a time.
Your child does come first, as parenting is your first job. Even
though you are going to school to better yourself, which in the
long run benefits your child, you have to keep reasonable expectations. If I had to do it all over again, I would have gone part
time. The children need supervision and a parent who is 'all
there' both emotionally and physically, But keep in mind that
the sooner you finish, the sooner you can get back to normal
again. Dragging out your program is worse than finishing
quickly in many ways. Whatever you choose, some concessions
have to be made.
profanity." Monololo added
that anyone who wants to contribute to the choice of programming for ASI shows
should attend the programming
committee meetings, which are
open to everyone. They meet
every other Wednesday at 8:30
p.m. in the Dome, with the next
meeting on October 20th.
The ASI said that all of the
comedians, who were unpaid
CSUSM students, were
screened prior to the show. But,
said AgI President Waleed
Delaware, "once they have the
microphone, there's really
nothing we can do about [the
content of the show]."
After receiving thefirstcomplaint, Delawari attended the
remainder of the show himself.
"It was a little racy," he said,
"but everyone I talked to
enjoyed the show." Delawari
acknowledged that he only
spoke with people who were
gathered around the stage,
admitting that people who were
offended by the show had probably left. However, he said, you
can't please everyone. "If we
have 90% satisfaction...I consider that a success."
Although the ASI said that
they announced before the
show that some people might
find the material offensive,
some students were not aware
of what was going on. "I didn't
hear any warnings," O'Shea
said. Warnings or not, some
students felt that the show was
inappropriate. "This is my
school, I 'm paying to be here,
and I don't want to hear it,"
Ealson said emphatically.
ASI Executive Director
Darlene Willis said she could
see both sides. "If people see
something on TV that they find
offensive, they can always turn
it off," she said. "These people
may have felt that they didn't
have a choice. But they can
always get up and leave." She
defended the right of free
expression. "I respect freedom
of speech," she said.
But the students who complained seemed to have concerns other than free speech. "I
think we need to set higher
standards for ourselves,
because we are worthy of higher standards," O'Shea said.
Delawari said that ASI would
definitely take the students concerns into account. "It's a learning curve," he said. "We may
do it differently next time."

Dr. Soriano was born in Guadalajara, Mexico. At age two his
parents came to the U.S. where he grew up in Fontana, CA. He
graduated from Fontana H.S., attended UC Riverside, and
received his Doctorate in Psychology at the University of
Colorado in 1987. Dr. Soriano stated that education has opened
up the world for him and that he has always been interested in
helping people with their problems.
Dr. Soriano is excited about starting the Youth Research Center
for all ethnic backgrounds. Students can learn research to better understand the needs of the youth and come up with proposals for solutions to violence and drug abuse. He is also excited
about working with "the experts." These are the kids who are
either in gangs, or have already been gang affiliated. He said
"what the youth need are opportunities. They need a chance to
contribute to society, especially the kids with problems at
home. They become alienated, less involved with school, and
are at a higher risk of joining gangs." He believes that we must
make kids more integrated in schools and the community. "I see
at-risk kids as dim light bulbs," he exerts. "Waiting to be turned

By the year 2000, it is estimated that Latinos will become the
largest minority group in the
U.S., according to a 1992 census
conducted by the National
Council of La Raza. Even though
Latinos will make up the largest
minority group in the nation, we
have little information regarding
Latino populations. In the future,
Latinos will become a major part
of the U.S. work force, therefore
information on Latino populations is important.
The National Institutes of
Health is an agency of the U.S.
Department of Health and
Human Services. They provide
funding for innumerable organizations and centers for national
research studies in biomedical
and behavioral sciences. In 1997
the NIH approved a proposal by
Dr. Fernando Soriano to fund
research on American Latino
populations. The NIH awarded 1
million dollars to open the
National Latino Research Center,
and, through contacts at SDSU,
the National Latino Research
Center was launched. After two
years, Dr. Soriano moved the
center to CSUSrM. CSU San
Marcos indicated interest in the
center and the level of support
was greater than at SDSU.
Dr. Soriano was also offered a
tenured position here at San
Marcos and he now feels like an
integral part of the university. He
remarked: "I wear two hats, one
as the director of the center and as
an academician and researcher. I
spend half of my time researching and teaching, and the other
half as the administrator." He
expects the NLRC to grow at
CSUSM and research to expand.
The NLRC will engage faculty
and students at CSUSM to conduct research on Latino populations. The emphasis is on generating research. Dr. Soriano
stresses the importance of the
research to the U.S. reliance on
young Latinos that make up the
nation's workforce. "[The
research is] a clearing house on
Latino populations," he says, "a
platform for training to increase
the ability of students and
researchers to know how best to
study the populations." Dr.
Soriano expressed a tremendous
need for students, faculty, and
non-students to get involved with
the National Latino Research
Center. You do not have to be
Latino to become a part of the
center. Everyone is welcome.
Research assistance positions
will be opening in the spring of
2000. They are mostly voluntary
but some are paid. Students who
participate can receive academic
credit, program evaluations, and

Remember those future promises of a larger, more technologically advanced library during

tours? The end is near! But not
until August 2003, to be exact,
the date set for the new library's
completion. With five floors and
almost 200,000 sq. feet, it will be
larger than Craven Hall.
The main entrance to the new
library will be located on the 3rd
floor (on the same level as

campus.
Book stacks will be located on
the 4th and 5th floors. These two
floors include desks, tables, and
lounge chairs for studying. The
4** floor will house the academic journals, periodicals, microfilm and microfiche. The 5th
floor will house the Spanish
books and curriculum books to
support the College of
"University Hall"). This floor
will hold new, reserve, and Inter
Library Loan books, as well as
new electronic products. It will
also hold reference books, government documents, and the
"information literacy program."
(This program is designed for
professors who have "library
days" to help their students utilize all of the library's resources
for class projects). This floor will
also have access to a cafeteria

The 2nd floor will contain the
most technologically advanced
teaching aids offered at our

expand to include a one hundredseat computer lab that stays open
longer than the library. The lab
will include "listening rooms" in
which groups can view videos,
listen to tapes or CD's, or compose multimedia projects.
The 1st floor will be comprised of library staff offices such
as cataloging, systems, and the
resource consultation office.
There will also be some classroom space available on this
floor.

granite will probably need
sandblasting or other powerful
water cleaning methods to
remove the stains. Though it
would be less costly to paint the
granite, that is not the best solution. "Paint would ruin the look
of the granite," says Holden,
who also isn't sure that even
sandblasting will remove the
blue paint. She says that fading
the spots may be all that can be
hoped for.
Facilities is currently taking
bids from painting companies.
Within days, an expected cost
estimate will determine the
work needed to restore the stucco. The university painting
budget will cover the cost of the
work, unless the vandals are
caught and prosecuted. Holden

the damage will be the ones
who pay for the clean up.
Dial Up" is G reat... W hen it Works
Adra Halford
PRIDE STAFF W RITER
CSUSM Computing and Telecommunications revamped their Dial-Up Service in order to keep up with ever-improving technology, as some students and faculty found out when
they tried to connect their computers to the campus modem pool. The C&T Help Desk set service records during the first week of the new service, though calls have slowed
considerably since. With midterms approaching, the demand for online resources will once again increase. Students who have not used the free dial-up service this semester
should be aware of new hardware and software requirements necessary to access the service.
Students who already have an Internet Service Provider may still want to access the Internet through campus Dial-up because this allows them access to research oriented databases like Ideal, EBSCOHOst, ERIC, and First Search. These can be found at: http://www.csusm.edu/library/e databases.htm. It is almost as good as going into the library.
Researching from home has the added benefit of nearly free printing, rather than 15 cents per page.
The new campus modems support 56K connections, meaning faster connections and less waiting for pages to download once the user is connected. That is where the trouble
begins. According to Carlos Archiniega, who identifies himself as "the Help Desk Guy", as midterms approach students should be prepared to hear busy signals and be persistent. The campus now has four types of dial-up accounts, each with its own pay structure and amount of access time. For students and faculty the service is free. Students
should keep track of their usage and be thrifty with their online time as they are only allowed 5 hours during peak usage days. Their time is unlimited from Friday at noon to
Sunday at midnight. Guests are allowed 14 hours per week, for which they pay $80.00 per year. There is also a paying student line for MBA students and Evers students. Students
should also consider avoiding the high traffic times from 4 pm to 8 pm, Monday through Thursday evenings.
Unlike the computers in the lab where a student can call a lab monitor to help if things are not going smoothly, students sometimes feel lost in the maze of technical jargon when
they have to be responsible for updating their own computers. Dial-Up Services has tried to ease the pain by providing detailed instructions. Students can access the website
for some information at: http://www.csusm.edu/helpdesk/dialup
Detailed instructions for dial up service can be obtained at the main computer lab located in ACD 202 or by visiting the Help Desk in Craven Hall 2302.

�10/21 REVISITED
Samantha M. Cahill
PRIDE EDITOR
In the fall of 1996, a white
CSUSM student repeatedly
called an African-American
instructor a "black bitch,"and
local newspapers were quick to
blame CSUSM's motto of
"achieving excellence through
diversity" for the whole problem. According to media, this
response was "Out of
Proportion." The campus administration continued to emphasize
that this was an "isolated incident," while students who
aligned themselves with the faculty member received bomb
threats at their apartment building and had threatening notes left
on their vehicles. The "isolated
incident" was further accompanied by hate flyers portraying
ugly caricatures of members of
different ethnicities; these were
strewn liberally across campus
and parking lots.
A group of students formed to
counterbalance the disinforma-
tion about "isolated incidents,"
and offset the political maneuvering on the part of just about
every official constituency at the
university. This group, including
members of El Movimiento
Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan,
Pan African Student Alliance,
American Indian Student
Excellence Society, and other
concerned students, had a simple
goal: to have a day on campus on
which the campus community
would come together to stand
against the "reign of terror." A
day devoted to standing up for
the CSUSM mission statement.
It was decided that on October
21 these students would make
their stand against the atrocities
that were occurring on campus.
This resolve led to an event, the
likes of which had never happened before, and unfortunately,
has never happened since at
CSUSM—this despite administrative promises to give the day a
prominent place in CSUSM's
future calendar.
Led by student resolve, the
campus came together, turning
what was initially to be a student
walkout into a campus-wide
teach-in. Students, faculty, staff
and administrators all worked
. together for a common cause: to
stand up for the mission statement and stand against racism. It
was a day of speakers, workshops, musical events, poetry
and food. It was promised then
that the event would be commemorated each semester with a
celebration of the mission statement. To their credit, the institution did hold a somewhat lesser
event the following spring on
April 21.
The following year, students
planned events for the occasion,
but approval was revoked. Since
that time, little has been done on
campus in commemoration of
the day.
I have often pondered the reasons why the commemoration
has not taken place since that
first year. Perhaps it is because
the mission statement, which
evoked such a spirit of unity on
the campus th^t first day, has
been changed. Perhaps it is
because, with its shrinking population of Black faculty, CSUSM
has become a less interesting target for neo-Nazi skinheads, so
we really don't need a mission
statement which emphasizes
such things as race, class, and
gender, or "respect and decency."
Perhaps it is that there are no
incidents of any sort of bias at
CSUSM anymore because the
entirety of the student population
has become miraculously
enlightened through the hard
work of the remaining faculty
who do emphasize race, class
and gender, so we really have no
need to emphasize such things
anymore; it is preaching to the

emphasized the need for access
to higher education for Latino
students and MEChA's important role in the Latino community, noting that MEChA is
more than a club, it is a means
of reaching out to the community and serves a vital role in
mentoring community youth.
Gonzalez also spoke about
Latino enrollment in the
California State University system and the University of
California system. Gonzalez
noted the importance of

I have not yet been in England for
three full weeks and it is already the
choir. Or perhaps it's just that no
one cares.
Yet as I look out at CSUSM
today I must wonder if we've
really come so far as to not need
such things emphasized on campus. True, there are no death
threats against faculty today, but
vandalism of posters celebrating
Latino figures might in some circles pass as racist acts. It's true,
there are fewer swastikas
scrawled around campus these
days. They have instead been
replaced with YAF flyers supporting the freedom to prosecute
"sexual deviants" and communists. (California's YAF website
declares that multi-cultural centers are communist endeavors).
As I look out across campus
today I wonder if CSUSM will
ever come together again in celebration of what was once our
mission. "Will we simply write
the mission out of the campus
altogether?
best experience of my life. As someone who had hardly been out of the
country, moving 8000 miles away
presented many shocks and adjustments, no matter how much advice
had been offered to me. Traveling
on my own was exciting and terrifying, especially in a big city like
London.
I came to the university at somewhat of a disadvantage because this
is thefirstyear that San Marcos has
dealt with this school. This has
caused several problems with housing and credit transfers. The flip
side to this situation is that everybody who comes here after me
won't have to be first, and these
problems will hopefully be straightened out.
One thing I have learned is that
culture shock comes in all shapes
and sizes. I was more surprised to
see the similarities between England
and America than I was to see the
differences. They have the same
music, the same clothes, the same
problems as American students. The
parts that have been difficult to
adapt to are the unpredictable
weather, the traffic, the local,
accents, and the FOOD! I have
never seen so much mayonnaise in
my entire life!
If those are the bad things about
England, the best thing is the people. Going to a universityfivetimes
the size of CSUSM, I have had
wonderful opportunities to meet
new people. The locals tend to be
straightforward and very willing to
give advice to foreigners. Also, the
other international students here
have taught me so much about the
world that I never could have
learned from a book.
Adjusting to a new place comes in
phases, shock, homesickness, and
acceptance. I still miss "Ally
McBeal" and American peanut butter, but every day I learn a little bit
more to live without them. I have no
doubt that my adventure will turn
me into a different person without
forgetting what a good thing I have
back home.

I would be naive to compare my first opera experience with performances in the great opera centers, but for this
novice, it was a perfect introduction to opera. The Western Opera Theatre, San Francisco Opera's touring company, comprised of young artists, performed Mozart's lighthearted masterpiece Don Giovanni, on Friday, October 15, as a part of
the 1999 -2000 season at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido.

English subtitles flashed on a screen above the stage, translating the Italian lyrics. The twenty-seven-piece orchestra
played vivaciously, and the cast skillfully displayed their talents. The costumes and stage design were modest in compari d h f por
ison to operas I have seen on PBS, but they were no less effective, given the nature of a traveling production that moves
from one city to the next. The lighting and special effects added to the haunting scenes with Don Giovanni in the cemetery—especially as he falls into thefiresof hell. From the dark grandeur of the Commandant's scene to the daintiness of

�Recycling Changes...
CSUSM will begin changing recycling containers this Friday,
October 22. Over the next two weeks the university will eliminate
the familiar blue mixed paper containers and replace them with
black containers. This change is as a result of a new policy at
EDCO, the local waste management company. EDCO now has
increased capability to sort paper at their plant, which eliminates
the need to do so here on campus. The new black containers will
hold the following:
Newspaper
Mixed office paper
Magazines, junk mail and slick brochures
Chip board and file folders
Bound books, except hard covers
Telephone books
Greenbar paper
Ream wrappers
Envelopes, including those with styrene windows
Pizza boxes (all food removed)
Cereal and cracker boxes
Paper not acceptable for recycling:
Restroom paper
Kitchen paper (napkins, paper plates, food containers)
Hardbound books
Please remove as much metal and hard plastic as possible, including spiral bindings and clips. Staples are acceptable but should be
minimized. We discourage Post-It Notes and Astro Brites,
though they won't "pollute the load" as they did in the past.
Other categories are as follows:
Glass— except window glass and very dark wine bottles
Plastic bottles—all are accepted except dark blue
Aluminum remains the same.

a symbol for victory, inspired her
to create her sculpture: "My challenge now is to live day by day

and build your wings on the way

Nike was like graduating to a new
stage of life, being transformed
from an earth-bound being to a
woman who can fly."
In addition to showing online
exhibitions, Professor Small's discussion dealt with chemical companies that produce carcinogens
(non-inherited environmental fac-
tors that can cause cancers).
"Cancer is not only an epidemic,
but also a booming business," says
Professor Small. She pointed out
that some companies may be both
the cause and the cure for some
cancers. Particular companies may
release toxic chemicals in the environment. For example there are
companies, like one named
Zeneca, that create tamoxifen, a
drug that can be used to treat some
breast cancers.
At the same time, Zeneca has
also been known to produce "carcinogenic herbicides" and pesticides.
Professor Small also discussed
"super-fund sites," Which are
extremely toxic chemical sites
found in the United States and
other countries. "There are things
we can do to clean up our environment," comments Professor Small.
She felt that the public should at
least be aware and informed in
hopes that individuals may reduce
their exposure to the toxicity in
their environment.
Professor Small became interested in cancer research in 1983
when she studied the Bikini
Islands that underwent nuclear
testing by the United States from
the 1940's and 1950's. She says
that studies like these have influenced her sensitivity to cancer.

DEAR EDITORS:
This letter is in response to Joni Miller's letter regarding National Coming Out
Day. Joni made several comments implying CSUSM is a hateful, bigoted, discriminatory school. I don't know what part of campus Joni attends, but I have seen none
of this.
This is my second semester at this school and never once have I received any
backlash for the rainbow necklace I wear, the pride stickers on my car, or my openness about my sexuality. Most all my classmates know I am gay, including all the
students in my GEL class, who, when I came out during a class discussion about
diversity, didn't bat an eye. Almost every student in my GEL class is just out of high
school, and everyone knows high schoolers' reputation for acceptance of diversity. I
have held two different jobs on campus and have been openly out at both of them. I
never felt any opposition in either setting. I also have four openly gay friends on
campus and none of them have ever told me about any discrimination they have felt.
One of them is a member of a fraternity and even he proudly displays pride stickers
on his car without any problems. I'll admit that I was not at National Coming Out
Day; however, it was not because I was afraid. It was because I came out a LONG
time ago, and I urge others t o do the same,

'FREE' SPEECH IN THE 'FREE' MARKET
By David Gottwald
Amidst all the normal confusion and stress that comes with the beginning of each new
semester, something decidedly abnormal struck me this Fall. While wandering the
Commons searching for old friends and new classes, I was constantly bombarded with an
array of products not unlike the local Escondido Swap Meet. In the course of one fifteenminute interval, I was asked to try Sparkletts water, get a spine adjustment evaluation, lay
down (in what looked like a vinyl iron maiden) for a massage, and was persistently
hounded by at least four different major credit card companies.
Now I 'm sick enough at the thought of CSUSM turning into a deplorable University of
North County Fair, but it was these credit card fellows that really got my goat. Unlike the
other vendors taking up campus space, they have a great little scam going. Don't want a
credit card? Sign up a friend (or complete stranger walking by - 1 was asked twice) and
get a free T-shirt. Considering student loans and personal parental debt, I really don't
need another bill each month. No problem, they told me. It's a really small amount. No
annual fee. Etc. etc. The pluses began to weigh in on my judgment at this point, so it was
time for some serious analysis.

OAF Ordinary Americans against Fanaticism
By Andrea Cavanaugh
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
I've noticed that a "new" club
has been circulating literature
around campus recently. The
Young Americans for Freedom,
or YAF, that campus group you
thought disappeared long ago,
has resurfaced once again. YAF
says it "supports choices," many
of which seem to profoundly
affect my freedom. So, in
response, I 've decided to form
my own club, Ordinary
Americans against Fanaticism,
or OAF. Some of the items on
the YAF fliers circulating around
campus caught my eye, and, as
president, founder, and sole
member of OAF, I want to
respond to them here.
YAF says it supports the
choice to own any gun. OAF is
against being shot. OAF feels
that being shot goes against, not
for, freedom. OAF says, guns
d on't kill people, people with
unlimited access to guns kill
people: OAF says, if YAF members can own any gun they want,
let's lock up the ammunition.
YAF says it supports the
choice to deport illegal aliens.
OAF wants to know who's
going to bus YAF's table and
clean YAF's toilet when the illegals are gone? OAF sure isn't
going to. Is YAF saying that
members have never picked up a
couple of guys from the local
alien hangout to clean up the
yard for five bucks an hour?

Have you noticed the officers in blue on campus?
You may see them walking through the Dome and perhaps on a bicycle if our new Chief of Police Thomas
Schultheis has his way. But you WILL SEE them.
After taking over the helm here as CSU San Marcos,
Chief Schultheis implemented a 24-hour, round-theclock communication center for our campus protection.
"We are always o pen," says the Chief.
Coming on board in an interim role November 1 of
last year, the 22-year veteran, Captain Schultheis, was
on loan from SDSU. He was officially appointed on
January 1, 1999, as Chief of Police at CSU San
Marcos.
A new addition to the Police Department also
included Lt. Glen from the CSU Long Beach campus.
Lt. Glen has extensive experience in disaster preparedness areas and training with critical response units..
The Chief hopes to increase our partnership with the
community and other nearby law enforcement agencies.
Higher visibility is an important goal of the department. Although their office is physically located off
Barham, at 441 La Moree, in the University Services
Building, the department has plans to open a "storefront" desk operation on campus to furnish crime prevention material, obtain a photo ID and allow easy
access for students.

Safety of the students is a primary concern for the department. With well-lighted parking lots, and low shrubs,
Schultheis feels that the campus gives a strong sense of safety. The department also offers a free escort service in
the evenings for anyone who requests it. In the event of an emergency, students can call the emergency line at
750-3111 or pick up any "blue code" phone in the parking lots for a direct line to the police.
Chief Schultheis would like to encourage students to bring concerns, complaints, compliments, and suggestions
to the department. He says, "We need the feedback to better serve our community." You can reach the police

�PARKING Cont. From Pg. 1
increase our number of spaces by 200 " Williams added that Parking Services has applied for an
exemption from the CSU regulations so that they can be authorized to build 600 new parking
spaces.
He also stipulates that money generated through tickets must be split with San Diego County,
and that the Parking Services half "goes to alternative means of transportation," like the campus
shuttle and the "Bike to Work Day" promotion.
Williams added that they spent over $80,000 during the summer for improvements to existing
lots, including new signs and new electronic Daily Ticketers. The installation of the new electron
ic Daily Ticketers also prompted the removal, on October .10, of the coin-operated visitor parking
meters. The new machines can sell permits that are vali4 for half-hour increments as well as for all
day and eliminate the need for the aging coin-only meters. The twenty spaces were equally divided
between student and faculty-only use because students aren't the only drivers with a need for more
available parking spaces.
Williams says that applications for Spring 2000 permits will be mailed in November and that the
fee is still $62. "We would rather have you buy a permit, then we can put those funds back into new
lots. If we give tickets we only get half of the money and we have to use that money for alternative
transportation."
DEAR EDITORS:
This letter concerns the mid-semester change of policy that revokes facultyparking permits for Graduate Assistants.
Our position, as General Education Writing Instructors, is not that of the
perceived teaching assistant. We are instructors of record, responsible for
lectures, assignments, conferences, office hours, and final grade submissions. We perform the same duties as adjunct faculty. In fact, as General
Education Writing Instructors, due to the intense reading and writing curriculum design of the course, our workload is extensive. Each of us strives
to provide the type of instruction that will ensure each student develops the
strong critical thinking and written communication skills necessary for success throughout his or her academic career. To facilitate our classes, we,
like other instructors, need to carry extra books, handouts, and other teaching materials imperative for providing the conscientious instruction for
which we strive.
An inability to park in the faculty lot will hinder our curriculum development, as we will be forced to reevaluate the way we support our students'
needs.
In view of the level of service we provide to the University, we respectfully
request to retain our faculty permits.

realized there was a better way. And a lessexpensive way.
Phyllis recognized that the cost in man-hours
to dismantle, diagnose, replace malfunctioning
parts (yet another expense), and reassemble the
existing units was just too much. And especially for faucets that hadn't undergone any routine
maintenance for seven years. She learned that
the cost to replace the entire unit with an identical model ($189 each) was also too much. Then
she realized that the push-down faucets did not
comply with standards defined in the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). So she
proposed to her supervisor, Chuck Walden, the
Assistant Director of Facilities, that the faucets
be replaced with less expensive ($52.64 each)
and ADA approved fixtures like the Simmons
Finished Brass Specialty Faucet. Not long after
she drafted a formal proposal and performed a
three-faucet sample her idea was approved and
all of Academic Hall was fitted with new
faucets.
If the faucets hadn't undergone routine maintenance for seven years and Phyllis has been on
campus for four years, then why hadn't she
worked on the faucets earlier? Because Phyllis
only just earned the title of Maintenance
Mechanic after earning Journey-level status in
three trades. Previously Phyllis specialized only
in carpentry and painting. Plumbing is the most
recent skill she ha$ acquired.
What other changes are next on her list?
"The water fountains. I would like to see the
water fountains maintained a little better,"
humbly adding "good teamwork is what gets
things done. Don Soriano and Floyd Dudley are
very instrumental in accepting my ideas and
getting them implemented."
When asked why she would do so much for
such little recognition Phyllis replied with visible sincerity "I care about my students and I
like what I do. I 'll always go the extra mile
because I like my job."
I regard my faculty/staff parking status as more than a privilege. It is a
necessity. I teach two GEW 101 classes with a combined total of 41 students. I carry a briefcase. I carry a full semester's lesson plans in a 4-inch
binder. I carry three textbooks at all times, which do not include videos,
other texts or handouts I may require for any class session. In addition, I
carry two file boxes, one for each class. These contain my students' essays,
quizzes and exercises. Each student i s required to write nine essays
throughout the semester with a revision required for each essay.
This translates into approximately 738 essays for me to carry and does
not include additional revisions students will present for my comments
throughout the semester. For example, last week, I collected 80 essays from
my students. All essays had to be carried to my car and, once graded, they
had to be carried to my classroom from the car. The paraphernalia I require,
and acquire, due to my teaching responsibilities at CSUSM is bulkier and
heavier than any backpack I ever carried as a student. Further, my teaching
paraphernalia is unmanageable in terms of carting it from the bottom of the
student parking lot to my faculty office in Craven Hall 3106.
Furthermore, the CSUSM Fall Schedule of classes identifies the individual teaching my sections (and all other sections) of GEW courses as "staff."
Therefore, I would argue that the university acknowledges my position
as a member of its staff, which does in fact entitle me, and all other
"staff'/graduate students, to staff parking. If that is not the case, then I must
consider the possibility that CSUSM administration applies the term "staff"
in conjunction with the courses I teach improperly. The use of this term in
the schedule to describe my position in th& GEW classroom implies something to prospective students of CSUSM. It implies something you indicate
by your "policy" decision is not the case. The term implies that qualified
"staff" rather than lowly graduate students give instruction at CSUSM.
I possess a faculty ID card. I enjoy faculty privileges in the library, media
center, and copy center. I have a faculty e-mail address. I have building and
office keys, a faculty phone number and an office. I hold office hours twice
weekly. I have access to those services on campus that assist me, and all
faculty, in offering students at CSUSM the best, and most effective, education we can provide. I receive a paycheck from the state of California for
teaching at CSUSM. And, until this week, I possessed faculty-parking privileges. How is it that parking services and the business division at CSUSM
can determine that I am not what I know myself to be, and what this institution has identified me as being—a member of the faculty?
I appreciate that faculty parking can be a challenge, but I believe there is
reason for discussion and consideration of other options before this decision
is implemented. In reasonable and practical terms, revocation of my faculty/staff access to the campus is not logical and penalizes me, and the twenty-three other instructors in my position, as faculty/staff and as student. I
would appreciate the opportunity to meet and discuss this with you, and to
demonstrate to you the physical realities of what your decision requires of
me.

State health officials offer
these safeguards to avoid Plague:
1) Avoid contact with wild
rodents. 2) Do not feed rodents in
picnic or campground areas. 3)
Never handle sick or dead
rodents. 4) Avoid walking, hiking or camping near rodent burrows. 5) Wear long pants tucked
into boot tops to reduce exposure
to fleas. Spray insect repellent on
socks and trousers cuff. 6)
People living in areas where
plague is known to occur should
keep wild rodents out of homes,
trailers and outbuildings.
Health officials also cite the
early symptoms of Plague as
high fever, chills, nausea, weakness and swollen glands in the
neck, arm pit or groin, and advise
that people who develop these
symptoms seek immediate medical attention.
"It was such a frightful thing
that when it got into a house . . .
no one remained." "It" was the
Plague, and in the fourteenth
century, Marchione di Coppo
Stefani published The Florentine
Chronicle, a text that gives us a
vivid account of the Plague and
its destruction. Its devastation
was felt throughout Europe,
where it is estimated that onethird of Europe's population succumbed to this epidemic. "Many
died unseen. So they remained in
their beds until they stank."
Today, the Plague still exists,
but without the devastating loss
of life. According to California
StateOffice of Public Affairs, 37
cases of the plague have been
confirmed in California, including one in 1998. With prompt
diagnosis and proper treatment,
the disease is curable in its early
stages, but may be fatal if left
untreated. There have been no
cases of the Plague reported in
San Diego County.
The fourteenth-century Plague
and the twentieth-century Plague*
are the same one. H ie disease is
caused by a bacterium called
Yersinia pestis, and is transmitted
from rodent to rodent, by fleas.
When an infected animal
becomes sick and dies, the fleas
look for a new host. Animals and
people can become host to these
infected fleas and contract the
disease. The difference between
the Plague of medieval Europe
and the present Plague exists in
the treatment and understanding
of the disease process. In fourteenth century Europe, the concept of antibiotics lay undiscovered, and disease transmission
was not understood. The
Europeans did, however, realize
that quarantine seemed to reduce
the spread of disease.
Unfortunately, without the
antibiotics necessary to destroy
the bacteria, Y. pestis, had free
reign over its hosts.
Giovanni Boccacio (The
Decameron) described the symptoms of a fourteenth-century victim of the Plague beginning with
"the appearance of certain
The P Ugue
swellings in the groin or the
armpit" referred to as "gavocciloi." The disease progressed
with the spread of these "gavocciloi" and then, "the symptoms
of the disease changed, and many
people began to find dark blotches and bruises on their arms,
thighs, and other parts of the
body," until death occurred. And
according to Boccacio, "few of
those who caught it ever recovered, and in most cases death
occurred within three days from
the appearance of the symptoms."
The typical disease progression today would sound like the
case taken from California's
Monthly Morbidity Report
(11/95): May 1995, Kern County.
A 57-year-old white female was
admitted to the hospital with the
history of four days of fever,
headache, pain and swelling of
the right ankle and inguinal area
(groin or lower abdomen), vomiting, and loose stools. The
inguinal swelling was confirmed
to be a bubo (inflamed or
swollen lymph node) infected
with y. pestis, and the woman
was treated with the proper
antibiotics. She remained in the
hospital for approximately ten
days, and was released in good
condition.
The Plague does exist, and
will continue to exist.

Roger Hedgecock Visits 'Pleasantville'
Leiana Naholowaa
Cynthia C. Woodward
A self-audit of Parking
Services conducted last spring
along with a crowded upper faculty lot (Lot E) reveal much
needed changes for CSUSM
parking this year. The first group
to feel these adjustments has
been the "Special Medical" students of Lot E. Parking Services
has changed their policy and will
only issue two-week permits for
students with minor injuries, for
example. For anything more than
two weeks, the student must have
their doctor's approval to obtain
a special or permanent permit
from the Department of Motor
Vehicles (DMV). "We used to
receive over 100 applications.
But since we changed our policy,
w e've only had about 8-10
requests," notes Robert Williams,
Parking Services Office
Manager. Both Williams and
Parking Coordinator Dora
Knoblock acknowledge that this
response indicates that there may
have been. some abuses of the
system in the past.
The Roger Hedgecock radio
program aired live from the
CSUSM Dome patio on
Wednesday, October 27, from 3
to 6 pm. Approximately 50 students, faculty, and staff members
gathered on the patio to listen to
and to take part in the 3-hour
broadcast. Roger Hedgecock,
KOGO AM 600 radio show host,
and former mayor of San Diego,
interviewed several notable people from the San Marcos campus
and community.
PRIDE EDITOR
Vendors for the university like
copy repair services do not pay
for the parking in the upper faculty/staff lot. The one exception,
Aztec Shops, will retain their
parking privileges in Lot E
because they are the only vendors
who do pay for parking permits.
Of the 16 teaching associates
on campus, 7 have faculty/staff
permits, 6 have student permits,
and 4 have none, as of Oct. 28. In
response to the recent GEW faculty parking grievances,
Knoblock noted, "If we extend
parking privileges in Lot E
towards the GEW faculty, we
would have to do the same for all
16 teaching associates, and not
just those seven." (Other research
by Parking Services points
directly to the State Controller iji
the Chancellor's Office where
teaching associates are not considered nor recognized as "faculty")
Williams and Knoblock also
spoke of the future of Parking
Services in terms of more lots.
Parking Services hopes to relieve
some of the strain by opening a
new lot behind Lot E by Fall
2000. The area behind .FCB will
hopefully be leveled, quarried
down by the aggregates company
to the level of the current upper
faculty lot.

�OPINION

Parking and the CSUSM Mission Statement.
I have no doubt that the group
of grad students who TEACH
GEW classes are in fact
TEACHers. The two letters to
the editors from GEW teachers
provide more than sufficient
evidence that they in fact teach.
However, I do not agree with the
logic used for stating that they
should have the ability to park in
the staff lot.
The logic given is that they
have a great deal of material to
carry, and should be able to park
closer to their classes* so they do
not have to carry their heavy
load very far. If this is the reason for having special parking
privileges; permits to the upper
parking lot should be given out
by backpack weight, not status
as a teacher or student.
Furthermore, as teachers, they
have access to offices, where
they may leave their belongings
and class materials, significantly
reducing the amount that they
must carry; students do not have
that luxury, which suggests that
students should have the upper
lot, and teachers should be relegated to the furthest parking
spaces. Certainly as college
teachers they are smart enough
to figure how to manage the
loads they must carry through;
multiple trips to their car, using
a luggage cart like many students have already figured out to
do, or using their office as storage units, and the staging
grounds for preparing for class
that they are intended to be.
Clearly the reason for separate parking for staff and students is not due to the distance
from parking lot to classroom or
the weight of class materials,
but to provide faculty and staff
with special privilege and status
not afforded to students. This is
in direct violation of CSUSM's
mission statement
(http://www.csusm.edu
DEAR EDITORS:
DEAR EDITORS:
/mission statement.html).
The mission statement states,
"CSU, San Marcos promotes a
collegia! relationship between
students and faculty. . The
word collegial means to be
"characterized by equal sharing
of authority" and the separation
of students and staff into the
privileged and unprivileged in
terms of something as simple as
parking contributes to inequality
and therefore an unequal relationship.
Either the parking lots at
CSUSM should be open to
everyone regardless of their status as student, staff, faculty, visitor; or the mission statement
should be revised to reflect the
administration's preferential
treatment of staff, rather than the
students for which the campus
exists to serve.

when questioned further, he stated
that he did not know if the paint
and egg would have been on the
building had the poster not been
there. Gonzalez is right, there is
no way for him to know if the
vandalism of Science Hall was
related to the poster being there,
or if it simply was a coincidence
that the poster was there when the
vandalism took place, in the location the vandalism took place.
Furthermore the fact that a poster
of a man who represents an
unpopular and hated ideology was
vandalized at the same time as
Science Hall does not necessarily
.mean that the poster was the cause
of the vandalism. It simply may
have been in the way of the
intended vandalism, and it is a
coincidence that the vandalism
took place on a part of the building where there was a poster
hanging.
Gonzalez clearly has demonstrated the ability to be technically
accurate when questioned about
controversial current events, just
as Bill Clinton did when questioned by Kenneth Starr in regards
to his relationship with Monica
Lewinsky. Bill Clinton's popularity has increased since that event,
and I 'm sure that Gonzalez would
be at least as successful and popular given his similarities to
President Clinton. Gonzalez in

CSUSM's runners, both the
men and women's cross-country
teams, are doing wonderfully this
year. There are about fifty members between the cross-country
teams and track combined, and
their ages range from 17 to 26.
The team is guided by Head
coach Steve Scott, CrossCountry coach Joe Keating, and
Track coach Wess Williams.
Only in its first year of existence, CSUSM has the best college track and cross-country
teams in San Diego County,
according to Scott. At the recent
Stanford Invite, the women's
team finished 15 out of 31
schools, and the men finished 8
out of 25. Scott commented:
"there was a lot of competition
there, and it was a difficult
course. There were a lot of top^
teams competing." Right now,
CSUSM is ranked 13 in NAIA

use, liability issues and financial
management.
Officials who
addressed the group alternately
praised and threatened, cajoled
and teased, inspired and depressed
the leaders who had given their
Friday afternoon to this very
important cause.
The hosts distributed liberal
quantities of H allowe'en candy,
many handouts, and 3-inch
binders containing detailed information all student leaders and club
advisors require.
Campus Chief of Police Tom
Schultheis reflected on the definition of hate crimes and explained
how campus clubs are expected to
pay for security for large-scale and
dangerous campus events.
Calvin One Deer, Director of
Student and Residential L ife,
lamented the precipitous decline in
the number of campus clubs in
recent years and expressed the
hope that the falling-off of interest
in campus organizations would
reverse itself.
Officials explained that before a
club can schedule any activity, students must complete a detailed
"Activity Risk Assessment F orm/'
obtain the advisor's signature, and
submit the form to the ASI office.

Dia de los Muertos at CSUSM
Samantha M. Cahill
PRIDE EDITOR
The annual Dia de los
Muertos celebration was held
this past Tuesday on the Palm
Court between ACD and
University Hall. The celebration, sponsored by CSUSM's
Day of the Dead Committee,
included poetry readings and
cafavera readings, in addition to
traditional altars, sugar skulls,
and papel picado designs.
Highly decorated altars, covered
in marigolds, the traditional
flower of Dia de los Muertos,
brightly colored paper decoration, photos, and other significant mementos of loved ones
who have passed on filled the
courtyard. CSUSM students,
faculty, and staff joined in the
occasion, constructing their own
altars for deceased loved ones.
Dia de los Muertos is traditionally celebrated in Mexico on
the first and second of
November. On these days,
altars are constructed in honor
of deceased loved ones, and
offerings are made to them.
Offerings include the favorite
foods of the deceased, alcohol
and tobacco, and items impor-
tant to them in their mortal
lives. The purpose of these
offerings is to honor the spirit
and memory of the deceased.
The celebration originated in
pre-Columbian Mexico.
Scholars believe the tradition
originated with the Olmecs,
possibly as long as 3000 years
ago. This celebration was
passed on to other cultures such
as the Toltecs, Maya, Zapotec,
Mixtec and Aztecs.
The Aztec version of the celebration of honoring the dead is
recognized as the most formative in contemporary practices
celebrating Dia de Los Muertos
in the United States. The Aztec
celebration was held during the
month of Miccailhuitontli, and
was presided over by the goddess Mictecacihuatl, Lady of
the Dead, and dedicated to children and the dead. Following
the Spanish conquest of Mexico
during the 16th century,
Catholicism added new dimensions to the celebration, blending the customs of the Aztec,
and other native peoples. The
Catholic tradition of All Saints'
Day and All Hallows Eve
(Hallowe'en) roughly coincided
with the preexisting celebration
of Mictecacihuatl. The present
day event draws from both
Roman Cathofic and preColumbian traditions.

Based on B, Tavern's book and
directed by award-winning director of photography Gabriel
Figueroa, the movie Macario,
presented in Spanish with English
subtitles, is rich in symbolism and
metaphor. The story's main character, Macario, a hard working
man living in poverty with his
family, meets his destiny with

OPINION
Monday, November 08, 1999
DEAR READER:
DEAR EDITORS:
A week and a half-ago two different
clubs on campus publicly accused The
Pride of partiality. One student even
accused The Pride of being a "tabloid."
If that isn't bad enough, it has come to
my attention that several articles and letters printed in our student paper have
offended various people or groups of
people on campus. These and other negative repercussions to offering a mouthpiece for student voice COULD cause
me much anxiety, but on review, I am
pleased to be a part of this paper, and a
part of this campus community. In fact,
CSUSM students, faculty, and staff
should celebrate the spirit of openness
that allows negative commentary as one
facet of the communication that exists
between The Pride and its readers. In
perusal of other university papers, I
notice that student issues explored in
their pages are minimal, at best. Most
articles come off of the college wires, or
a re feature or entertainment pieces. In
contrast, our student paper attempts to
present fair reporting of actual student
news that comes from this university.
Perhaps of more importance, our readers
feel free to respond to the issues presented in our paper, whether for good or ill.
Our writers and editors are students,
not experienced journalists. We are still
learning, but we are dedicated to offering
our readers our best efforts in reporting,
writing, and editing the news. Part of our
"best efforts" includes facilitating communication between members of the
campus community.
The Pride has many supporters among
the administration, faculty, staff, and student body who offer help, advice, and
yes, criticism. On behalf of the editorial
team, I thank you for your support and
tolerance. Without you, The Pride could
not exist.
In response to Juniata Greenlee's letter in the November 1st
issue of The Pride, I feel it is necessary to point out to you that
it was the YAF, not the College Republicans, who accused The
Pride of being a "tabloid."
I am not a member of the College Republicans, nor do I
plan to be, but I must come to their defense on this matter. My
own political persuasions can be better described as a conser
vative environmentalist, and have led me to vote for
Libertarians, Republicans, Greens, or occasionally a (gasp!)
Democrat. The College Republicans are a respected, nationwide organization with national leadership committed to the
furthering of a genuine "republican democracy (note lower
case " R," meaning "a republic")," as specified in the
Constitution, "...with liberty and j ustice for all" (not j ust
straight, white, anglo-saxon males) with a foundation in the
teachings of God and many 17th and 18th Century philosophers.
The YAF, by contrast, appears to be a ' one-off' collection
of opinionated fascists whose feelings cannot be logically jus
tified in any way. Oh, and to those who would quote Leviticus
twenty-something or other to me ("'Homosexuality is an
abomination,' sayeth the Lord."), check out the new covenant
given to us by Jesus Christ (the New Testament), "...love your
neighbors,...forgive your enemies,...pray for your tormen
tors,..." Good stuff like that.

NOTHING FOR THE
AVERAGE STUDENT
After half a semester at
California State University San
Marcos it has become painfully
clear that if I remain here for my
entire college education I will
die of boredom. D on't get me
wrong, I think that this is a great
school academically but besides
going to class, there is nothing
else to do at this campus. If you
have a class on Friday, then I
think you know what I am talking about. On Fridays, this campus looks kind of like a ghost
town. I am just waiting for the
tumbleweeds to roll by the window as I sit inside my half empty
classroom. The first thing that I
thought was interesting and a little shocking was that the average
age of the student at this school
is around 28. Now being 18 and
right out of high school I didn't

Help Stop Sweatshops
By Michelle Jacob
I recently attended the
California Students against
Sweatshops
conference in
Berkeley. It was there that I
learned about the student movement against sweatshop oppression. This movement is nationwide, and the CSU schools are
trying to unite to bring about
changes on our campus and in
our communities.
Several representatives at the
conference spoke about how
their campus bookstores (including some C SU's) are selling
sweatshop-made clothing. One
example that was showed to us
was a typical embroidered college T-shirt which retailed at $ 15
in the bookstore. The woman
who made, the shirt in a sweatshop got 3 cents for making the
shirt. These extraordinarily low
wages are the norm for sweatshop workers, and many people
are forced to live in desperate
poverty because of these low
wages.
Is our bookstore selling
sweatshop items? This gross
inequality is something in which
our university should not take
part. We need to investigate the
products our bookstore sells.
Anyone (student, staff, faculty, or community member) who
is interested in this cause, has
additional questions, or would
like to help in the investigation
can email:

Scott Weselis
DEAR EDITORS:
DEAR EDITORS:
I have noticed that The Pride now accepts letters and editorials from students on an anonymous basis. In my opinion this is
detrimental to the intellectual growth of the newspaper and the
campus community. I know of no other established newspaper
in the United States that will accept and print letters from those
who wish to remain anonymous. It is simply a matter of credibility. I am concerned about those who write letters under the
protection of anonymity if you believe in an opinion enough to
write it down then sign your name to it also. The realization
that the university I attend produces students that are either
unwilling or unable to stand behind their own beliefs is very
unsettling. It is my understanding that a college newspaper
should provide experience in the field of journalism while
striving to instill a high amount of quality and integrity for
those reporting and editorializing.
Respectfully,
Brent Wells
expect to be in classes sitting
next to people who were married
and had two kids already.
The next thing that I thought
was interesting about this school
is that there is no on campus living. I understand that this school
is still young but it seems to me
that no campus living spells no
campus life. Also to my knowledge, I might be wrong about
this, there is only one sports
team. Track. That's great if your
good at running but what about
all the other sports there are. I
understand that the track team is
doing very well. But track is not
the kind of sport where the
whole student body comes out to
see them compete like at a Notre
Dame football game where the
all students paint their faces and
all rally together and have a
good time. I found nothing like
that at this school. These are a
few main factors that I can see
that are major contributors to the
fact that going to school at
CSUSM is a bore.
I used to think that this school
was pretty good until I visited
some friends over the weekend
at their schools. I must say I feel
cheated. My friends are all having the time of their lives and I
am here in San Marcos sweating
in the hot sun as I watch my college life slowly go by. I must
admit that there have been some
attempts made to better the student life here at this school but
they have had no success. I
don't know how it can be done
or even where to start, but I do
know that something should be
done to make life at this school
more enjoyable for the average
student.
Joe
I am one of the so-called "tabloid" student writers and I am
proud to write for The Pride. I challenge myself to cover many
fields. I try to take on as many different topical issues as possible in
order to become a versatile writer. I absorb accumulated information and use as much judgment I can to submit an objective article.
The information can be helpful for some people and useless for others, but at least i t's out there. For a person to use words like
"tabloid" to describe my writing is laughable. But sometimes opinions can carry a louder bark than bite.
I can understand people having grievances that carry weight.
The person who made the tabloid comment did not raise a valid
argument. He supposedly had 200 signatures and brought forward
conjectural evidence. Leiana and Samantha held there own on the
Mic and correctly represented the newspaper. The advice I 'd offer
my fellow students are to submit letters such as this one and take
the student newspaper course next semester. By the way, I 've got a
great topic for the next issue: "YAF member abducted by aliens!"
Whatcha think?
RETRACTIONS:
In the article "New Faucet Change Complies with ADA
Standards" in the October 25, 1999 issue of The Pride, the
sentence "...the push-down faucets did not comply with
standards defined in the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA)" was incorrect. The originally installed pushdown type Simmons faucets' are designed to comply fully
with the ADA.' The article also stated the replaced faucets
hadn't undergone routine maintenance for seven years.
' The original faucets had not been a regular part of a preventative maintenance program for about one year," says
Chuck Walden, Associate Director of Facilities. "Until he
had to be temporarily reassigned to a more urgent issue, he
[Dennis McFarland, Maintenance Mechanic J was responsible f or maintaining the [plumbing] f ixtures." Mike
Spangler, Pride Staff Writer, apologizes for the article's
discrepancies.
In the October 18, 1999 article "ICC Budget Settled," the
vote to grant the Chair, Vice Chair and Treasurer $400 in
Student Development money in scholarships and grants to
pay tuition costs was not a "unanimous" as stated. Pride
Staff Writer Penny Lanese apologizes for the misinformation.

Meet the Blasters: Hanson Aggregates
By Laura Hopkins
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Daily blasts and semi-trucks?
Every day the ground shakes on
campus and on Twin Oaks
Valley
Road.
Hanson
Aggregates. They are a San
Diego-based company whose
business produces concrete,
asphalt, and gravel by using rock
and sand blasted f rom the
ground. The quarry operation
next door to the CSUSM campus
is an exchange of excavated
granite for the leveling of the
land, behind the FCB building
and upper faculty lot, towards
"building-pad height." Ninety
percent of asphalt pavement and
eighty percent of concrete come
from aggregates.
Without aggregates, building
is impossible. The United States
produces over two billion tons of
aggregates per year, and Hanson
is ranked number three in national production. Formerly known
as South Coast Materials (an
entity of Hanson Aggregates), in
March of 1999 Hanson decided
to bring their San Diego holdings
together under one name.
Approximately f ifty-five workers are employed at their facility.
Hanson made two notable
purchases in San Diego County
last year. In February of 1998,
they acquired HG Fenton, the
leading aggregate supplier in San
Diego, for a $87.-5 million cash
purchase. In December of the
same year, Nelson & Sloan was
purchased for $37.6 million,
making Hanson Aggregates the
leading aggregate supplier for
San Diego County.
According to Hanson o fficials, the market here is
"extremely attractive." Hanson
Aggregates is a branch of
Hanson PLC, the leading UK
aggregate company that has been
purchasing aggregate companies
in the United States. In f act,
Hanson says that Hanson
Building Material America was
the principal engine of Hanson's
1998 growth, which boasted a
one-year sales growth in 1998 of
25%, making the total sales for
the year $4,992.9 million.

20th-century Fox's Anywhere But Here is a definite "chick flick"
if there ever was one. I know, it's a horrible stereotype but why
should I avoid them if the director, Wayne Wang (of The Joy Luck
Club fame), won't. Actress and college freshman Natalie Portman,
(probably better known as Queen Amidala f rom the new Star Wars),
is the young female lead, Ann August. Susan Sarandon, who gets
top billing in the promotional materials, but evidently not because
of her acting, plays the "adult" female lead, Adele August. And the
male lead? Well, there i sn't one. I expected m ore f rom Susan
Sarandon and hoped for more from the movie. T he movie doesn't
beat up on men too badly, but nonetheless reinforces gender stereotypes of both men and women. Women are still portrayed as docile
dependent victims (of men and of. their own delusions) and men are
placed in roles of womanizer, abandoning Dad, and soft-spoken,
spineless, insignificant living furniture. The best scenes were given
to the young Portman, like when she flips the gender-roles' coin and
commands her admirer (Peter, played by Corbin Aired), who has
just walked in her front door, "Take your clothes o ff."
Unfortunately many potentially touching or inspiring scenes
went undeveloped or, in the case of the aforementioned scene, the
female character reveals to the audience that she i s not strong
enough to continue in such a strong role. Indeed role reversal is a
major theme with responsible, rational figure as the daughter, while
the mother is a careless spendthrift. The reversals are so spoon fed
and superficial that they are boring and predictable. No one ever
suffers serious consequences for their wrongdoing, the negative
stereotypes go virtually unpunished, and most conversations
between mother and daughter end in a j oke without resolution. The
film's happy Hollywood Ending lacks the gut wrenching squeeze
and instead produces nothing more than hot air. The movie may be
inspiring for the sweet-sixteen and under crowd, but if you want to
see it I suggest that you call your local theaters f or show times,
because I predict that it w on't stay there long past its Friday,
November 12 opening date.

Boys Don't Cry is a remarkable debut effort by director Kimberly
Peirce which imparts the true-life story of Brandon Teena. Peirce
guides the audience through the short and tragic life of a young girl
who undergoes a sexual identity crisis and faces immense injustice
for it in a small Midwestern town. Born Teena Brandon, she transforms her identity into that of Brandon Teena, to pursue a life based
on his own truth, that of a man. A courageous albeit reckless effort
by the young Brandon to live this life, brings catastrophic results
when his female identity/body is exposed.

Melissa Etheridge has once again created a compilation of rich lyrics and soulful
melodies that engage the heart of any lover. The tide track, "Breakdown," blends
the anguish of ending a relationship with the solace of knowing that in spite of the
pain, the choice was a good one. The classic Etheridge edginess of the piece compels the listener to ask for more, but she gives you just enough to satisfy the call.
"Angels Will Fall," the first single to be released off of the new CD, is rising up
the charts. "Angels" fuses spiritual longing with earthly desire and culminates in
pure fulfillment, both lyrically and musically.
Etheridge takes some liberty in self-expression on "Enough of Me," a passionate
track that boasts a Freudian connection of sorts. The song is a real treat for all the
codependent listeners out there—something too many of us can relate to, unfortunately.
Openly Lesbian, Etheridge addresses the feelings of being different as a child in,
"Mama I 'm Strange." This cut expresses the longing to be loved, and the ever present need to fit in, to survive.
Hauntingly real and inexplicably vivid is Etheridge's loving tribute to Mathew
Shepard, "Scarecrow." Her lyrics capture the senseless persecution the young college student suffered before he was brutally murdered in Wyoming. Her words call
out to a nation to be accountable for the intolerance and bigotry that defines us.
Etheridge's most political effort by far, "Breakdown" bequeaths us eleven gifts of
the heart. The CD is enhanced, and can be enjoyed on your personal computer as
well as the best that Dolby can supply. It will steal your heart.
Hilary Swank (of "Beverly Hills 90210") delivers an extraordinary performance as Brandon Teena. Moving a few hundred miles
from his hometown of Lincoln, Nebraska, Brandon begins a new
life in Falls City. Meeting up with some local outcasts in a seedy
bar, Brandon quickly becomes part of the family of a small group

feng shui (pronounced " fung

alive, connected, and always
changing.
After a stressful fall semester
last year, I decided to regain control of the neglected household
chores, spoil my children with
homemade cookies, and pamper
my husband, who was tired from
proof reading my term papers. I
also vowed to take time out during the winter break to catch up
on some " pleasure" reading. I
read an article about "Fung
something or other" in a magazine and I thought that I would
grab a book at the local library
for further research.
As it turned out, the librarian
was familiar with several books
about feng shui, and had even
invited a feng shui practitioner t o

goose bumps when she-relayed

Evelyn Choroser
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
While her professional background is in interior design, the
resale store manager believes she
has a natural flair f or putting
together an outfit that will convey the right image to a future
employer. She is also a student of
John T. Mol ley's book, Dress for
Success, and has used his recommendations to assist in clothing
women from the Oceanside
Women's Resource C enter's
shelter who are ready to take that
first step toward independence.
Debra has also advised graduates
from Regional Occupational
Programs, community colleges,
and others who have been out of
the j ob market for years.
Debra's j ob requires more
than simply helping shoppers
find suitable outfits. "Women
come in and are literally shaking
at the thought of an interview,"
Debra notes. Many of them are
just beginning to build up their
self-confidence after years of
abuse and/or demeaning brainwashing. It's helpful to begin by
getting the woman to explain her
fear. "Usually this helps t o relax
the shopper, and i t's easier to
move on to the good part-a fun
shopping experience," she said.
on a budget check out the bargains available on school clothing at Tried & True. She displayed an example by scurrying
to a packed slack rack, retrieving
a pair of brown corduroy jeans
and swiftly selecting a matching
sweater from a neighboring rack.
"$7.00 f or the o utfit," she
announced. Neither the jeans nor
the sweater showed evidence of
being worn by the donator.
According to the Tried & True
Manager, research indicates that
college students tend toward
casual attire for a j ob interview.
Although the more relaxed dress
code is being allowed in many
o ffices today, i t's a mistake to
believe this is proper for an interview. "The interviewer's impression of the j ob candidate, made
during the first five minutes, is
usually the strongest and casual
dress reflects a casual attitude,"
she cautioned. Debra recommends that women look like
women but dress in a masculine
way; that is, they should wear
suits, complementing blouses,
plain pumps and a minimum of
jewelry.
You don't have to pay a fortune to dress for success, according to Debra Watson-Samson,
Tried & True Resale Store manager. Debra espouses the multitude of money saving opportunities for CSUSM students, faculty,
and staff. "Yes, I can help an
aspiring j ob applicant choose an
appropriate suit, blouse, shoes
and accessories for $20,"
Where does Tried & True get
its merchandise? Shopaholics are
their most bountiful contributors,
the manager explained. It is not
unusual for the price tags to be
on items when they are delivered
to the shop. Men who have lost
their wives or mothers are also
frequent donators. Debra said it's
important for these men to watch
as she examines the items and
assures the grieved one of his
double good deed-his loved one's
belongings will provide a bargain
buy to someone who needs it,
and the proceeds will support the
Oceanside Women's Resource
Center.
The Tried & True Resale Shop
and Boutique is in Oceanside at
1906 Oceanside Boulevard (just
off 1-5, one block east of Boney's
Market). They are open Tuesday
through Saturday 10:00 a.m. to

Clothing is just the beginning
at Tried & True. Debra said,
"Students need to know that a
one-bedroom apartment can be
fully furnished for under $1,200.
This price includes linens, dishes, television, VCR, refrigerator
and microwave."
Debra suggested that students
Learning that many CSUSM

and pajamas, which are $3.00.

A Bagua has eight areas and charts
where the blessings are located in
your home or workplace. Each area
is associated with a color and an element such as water, metal, i ire, and
wood. The key to feng shui is to balance the elements and combine with
the free flow of ch %
To understand the Bagua, imagine
a tic tack toe grid - the outside
squares represent a different area of
life that can be filled with positive
energy to gain the most fulfillment,
The entry of a room determines the
placement of the Bagua. (The entry
should align with the areas of
Knowledge, Career' Travel.)
Putting feng shui to work is easier
than you may think. Simple
enhancements such as green plants
in your health area can give you
renewed energy. Pictures of happy
couples in your marriage and family center brighten the prospects for
finding the perfect mate. Running
water, such as a fountain or aquarium, in your wealth center can help
wealth flow into your l ife - but
watch out f or leaky faucets, your
ch 'i could be going down the drain.
Arrange a collage of pictures of
dream destinations cut from a magazine and hang it in your travel quadrant, chances are that a vacation is in
your future. Don't forget to study in
good light, burn some incense, and
light a candle in your knowledge
and self cultivation area to magnify
the positive c/i'z moving as you prepare for finals. And for those of you
who are looking f or the perfect
career, hang a wind chime at your
front door to summon the opportunity of a lifetime.
Still think this i s hooey? A fter
getting a good chuckle o ver,my
newfound hobby, a friend mentioned
that she was going to be out of work
- if her father's business didn't pick
up. I suggested some minor alterations in her wealth center as well as
her travel and helpful people quadrant. I handed a couple of bunches of
purple flowers to arrange in groups
of four and sent her on her way. With
a healthy dose of skepticism, she
headed for home to apply the feng
shui remedies I had suggested. Three
days later she called to let me know
that her father had been awarded a
large contract that would keep her
steadily employed for two years. Not
bad for an amateur practitioner.
Once you have taken the time to
feng shui your space, don't just let it
go. It is amazing how quickly a few
scrap papers can turn into piles of
junk or a beautiful green plant left
without water can die. Negative
energy will soon follow. My office is
in the Knowledge & SelfCultivation area of my home, a
place where I am extremely productive with my business and schoolwork. However, the space has
become a catchall of clutter and
mess, and it has been weeks since I
have felt comfortable sitting in front
of the computer to work on my term
papers. Sitting in the space causes
me anxiety, loss of concentration
and worse, it has brought about a
trend towards procrastination. I 'll
certainly be focusing my feng shui
eyes on my office before I prepare
for finals.
Practitioners cannot guarantee
specific results, but "millions of people have benefited from the extraordinary power of feng shui," according to an associate from the Western
School of Feng Shui in Solana
Beach, CA. Personally - I 'm a true
believer and suggest that before you
shrug this off as silly superstition,
give it a try. The results may
astound you!

Recycling for the Future
June H odges
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
On Monday, Nov. 15, 1999, CSUSM
holds its 3rd annual "America Recycles
Day" and the "Dumpster Dive." The goal
is to educate the campus community on the
importance of recycling and the importance of looking for and buying merchandise that states: 'Made f rom RecycledContent Materials.'
The theme of the program, "For Our
Children's
F uture...Buy
Recycled
Today," reinforces the fact that we must
conserve our natural resources for coming
generations. The message is that if we
don't use recycled materials to make new
products, then recycling is j ust another
form of throwing things away. ,
Facility Services will staff a table from
10:00am to 2:00pm on November 15 and
will share information about the program.
Activities planned for the day center on the
"Dumpster Dive," an activity that outfits
faculty members, staff, and students in
protective clothing so they can dive into to
Extended Studies and the Faculty Parking
lot). Participants will descend into waste
heaven, otherwise known as the trash
receptacles, to retrieve and identify items
for recycling, besides the usual items. The
Dive takes place after lunch, behind the
FCB Building. This adjacent activity also
serves to reduce the amount of waste taken
to landfills, and to increase awareness of
CSUSM's recycling program.
Participants in the Dumpster Dive
receive a free noon time lunch of pizza and
soft drinks, so reserve a spot in the bin.
Participants may also show up the day of
the event.
Dedicated volunteers will sort, categorize, and weigh trash with an assist from
Bill Dean who is with Edco Waste and
Recycling. Facility Services and Edco are
sponsors of the event.
Please call Patti Holden at Extension
4614 with your reservation "for a spot in

Spanish Poet
Margarita Merino
By Giovanni Ferrer
P RIDE STAFF W RITER
After centuries of suppression,
women writers in Spain are
beginning to emerge as the leading literary voices of Europe,
according to one such writer,
Spanish poet Margarita Merino.
Last Thursday, Dr. Merino gave a
lecture b efore an audience of
approximately 30 students, faculty, and staff, in University Hall.
Dr. Merino reflected on her
childhood and how little girls
were not permitted to have interests in literature then. She
described growing up during the
Franquismo period when Spain
was under the dictatorship of
Francisco Franco. She explained
that Spain was, and f or the most
part, still is, a Machismo dominated society where women are often
held back by men. She stated that
women could not do anything in
earlier generations, but times are
changing. Women have come a
long way in Spain.
Spain is a more liberal society
now, Dr. Merino claimed. Women
take advantage of their leisure
time; they are for the most part
domestic and have plenty of time
to pursue hobbies. Dr. Merino
mentioned that the highest numbers of college graduates in Spain
are women. Women are now contributing more books for publication.
Dr. Merino recalled a couple of
scary moments in her life. One

Academic Senate Stands Firm on
Scholarship and Students
Samantha M. Cahill
P RIDE EDITOR
CSUSM's Academic Senate
passed two new resolutions in
their November 10th meeting in
response to the September 30th,
1999 d raft revision of the
CSUSM values, mission and
vision statement, and toVice
President of Academic Affairs
Karas' July 6, 1999 memo
addressing faculty workload.
The resolutions affirmed the
importance of research and creative activity as an essential element of faculty work, and the
benefit of intensive faculty-student ioteraction as an avenue for
continued excellence for the university.
Background information provided on the resolution notes
that "[t]he September 30th, 1999
d raft revision of the CSUSM
values, mission, and vision does
not mention scholarship and creative activity", nor does it "mention high quality teachei>student
interaction," both of which have
been central to the university in
the past decade. The background information also states
that the Vice President of
Academic Affairs Karas' July 6,
1999 memo "appears to retract
his support for scholarship/creative activities on campus," and
"appears to retract his support
for high quality teacher-student
interaction on campus."
Resolution affirming intensive
faculty-student interaction as an
avenue for continued excellence
as a university.
Bud Morris, Academic Senator,
COAS
The faculty resolutions call
for a recognition of "the importance of scholarship/creative
activity" and "the importance of
intensive, high quality faculty
student interaction;" and "urges
the President and Vice President
of Academic Affairs to propose
a model of workload accounting
that properly registers the significance of these and related activities that comprise bona fide faculty work and upon which the
continued excellence of our university depends."
Whereas high quality facultystudent interaction is one way
CSUSM is able to personalize
its instruction f or individuals,
and
Whereas high-quality facultystudent interaction engages students in learning opportunities
and mentoring that enrich students' academic lives, and
Whereas high quality facultystudent interaction stimulates
students to develop professional
interests in their areas of study
and,
Whereas high quality facultystudent interaction serves the
goal of attracting and retaining
intellectually engaged students
and faculty,
Be it Resolved: That the
Academic Senate of California
State University San Marcos
calls upon the President and
Vice President f or Academic
Affairs to clearly and unequivocally acknowledge the centrality
of intensive, high quality faculty-student interaction to the university mission. Further, the
Senate urges the CSUSM
administration to propose a
comprehensive and valid means
of accounting for faculty workload that encompasses the f ull
range of critical contributions
faculty make to the institution,
including participation in such
activities as independent studies,
supervised instruction, thesis
supervision, internships, service
learning courses, advising, colSee SENATE Pg. 7
Sociology Club
AKD "Brown Bag"
Voicing Politics on College Campuses
Samantha M. Cahill
Andrea Cavanaugh
P RIDE EDITOR
P RIDE STAFF WRITER
Members
of
C SUSM's
Sociology Club and Alpha Kappa
Delta International Sociology
Honor Society co-sponsored a
"Brown Bag Luncheon" for sociology students and faculty on campus last Thursday afternoon. The
catered event drew approximately
thirty attendees including CSUSM
students and faculty, as well as
students and faculty f rom local
community colleges.
Sociology Club and AKD
member Barbara McCune, passed
out brown bags for note-taking to
diners as she explained that the
original organizing principle of
both AKD and the Sociology Club
was to provide a "brown b ag"
atmosphere where faculty and students could come together and
share their research and ideas. In
line with this principle the
CSUSM AKD and the Sociology
Club co-sponsored t he luncheon
and invited students and faculty
from local community colleges in
hopes of fostering academic t ies
with other Sociology students and
faculty i nthe area.
Sociology Club and AKD
member Donnamari Cruickshank
introduced various CSUSM faculty members who shared their current research interests with the
group. The event provided an
opportunity for undergraduate and
graduate students and faculty to
share their research interests.
Should students be forced
through mandatory student fees
to fund groups and viewpoints
they find morally objectionable?
The U.S. Supreme Court was
asked to consider this issue on
November 9th in a case where
both sides are invoking the First
Amendment to support their
point of view. Funding for campus clubs at public colleges and
universities across the country
may change next year if the
Court decides in favor of Scott
Southworth, a conservative
Christian student at the
University of Wisconsin at
Madison.
Jordan Lorence, a lawyer representing Southworth and other
students who objected to the
fees, referred to the students'
forced financial support of the
groups they ideologically disagreed with as "compelled
speech." He said that the students have "a First Amendment
right not to speak," on issues
with which they disagree.
However, attorney Susan K.
Ullman, representing the university, said the students benefit
from their First Amendment
right to hear from a "diversity of
voices." Ullman and others have
argued that campuses represented by a variety of viewpoints
make an invaluable contribution
to higher education: "It furthers
the university's
mission,"
Ullman said.
Student government leaders
at the University of Wisconsin
support the current system and
said that the lawsuit is an attack
against racial minorities and
homosexuals. ' This is part of a
larger strategy to shut down the
voices the Christian right disagrees with," said Adam Klaus,
chair of the Associated Students
of Madison (ASM) at the
University of Wisconsin. The
conservative students objected
to paying fees to support such
groups as the Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual and Transgender
Campus Center. If the court
agrees with Southworth, student
associations may be prohibited
from dispersing funds derived
from student fees to groups that
engage in "political or ideological advocacy."
The case is being watched
closely by colleges and universities across the country. If the
justices decide in favor of the
conservative students, observers
predict that the outcome will
have an effect on most public
colleges and universities.
How the ruling might affect
funding of student groups at
CSUSM is unclear. "The ASI
would get a legal interpretation
before taking any action," said
Darlene Willis, Executive
Director of the ASI. "But I
would say it would definitely
have an impact."
Funds are currently dispersed
by the Inter-Club Council, or
ICC, a group made up of one
representative f rom each o fficially recognized campus club.
Willis pointed out that the ICC
funds activities, not organizations, a distinction she said is
critical
in
differentiating
CSUSM from the University of
Wisconsin, where the court case
originated.
So far in the 1999-2000
school year, the ICC has voted
to give funds to groups as
diverse as the Soccer Club, the
German Club, MEChA, and the
Computing Society. Willis
declined t o say whether she
thought that any of these groups
engaged in political or ideological advocacy. As to what constitutes political or ideological
advocacy, Willis said that would
be difficult to define. She said,
"If they [the Supreme Court]
make this decision, I hope they
spell that out."
ASI
President
Waleed
Delawari was more direct. "A
typical activity funded by the
ICC is movie and pizza night.
How that could be considered
political?"
�An Open Letter to Anyone Who
Smokes
June Hodges
Nov. 15, 1999 is the Great
American Smoke Out. I hope that
many of you will read the literature
being distributed on campus on that
day and decide to quit smoking. It
w on't j ust benefit your own future
health, but will also benefit all the
friends and family who love and care
about you.
I lost my favorite cousin to lung
cancer in the spring of 1996. Her
name was Wiloda, and we had grown
up like sisters back in the farm country of Southern Illinois. As kids, we
climbed the leafy branches of old
apple trees with a salt shaker in hand
and ate the forbidden (unripe) green
fruit, gathered freshly laid eggs from
the hen house, picked buckets of sunripened cherries while standing on top
of a high ladder, waded in creeks
where water moccasins (snakes)
sometimes lurked, cooked tomatoes
from the garden in a tin can over our
own campfire (and became deathly
ill), rode horses and donkeys bareback, and shared secrets, giggled, and
laughed at bedtime until we were told
to hush. I remember the sadness and
loss I felt on the day she got married
and moved away with her young Air
Force husband. My best friend was
gone and I knew things would never
again be the same between us.
After my marriage, I moved from
Nebraska to Kansas and eventually
settled in California. Wiloda and her
husband, Marion, always remained in
Illinois, close to their parents and
brothers and sisters. We kept in touch
through letters, phone calls, and sum-
mer visits and I attended their 50th
wedding anniversary. In the spring of
1994, Wiloda called to tell me that
she and her husband had been diagnosed with lung cancer that day. They
had smoked for a long time, but
Marion had quit several years before.
Wiloda had not. Her favorite part of
the day was to get up early, jump in
the car, and join two of her long-time
women friends at the village cafe for
coffee, gossip* and the first cigarette
of the day.
Marion died before the New Year
rolled around and Wiloda was undergoing extensive chemotherapy and
radiation treatments. In the next two
years, she would go in and out of
remission and continue the debilitating therapy, each time hoping that it
would be the last. We talked on the
phone, and we prayed together. We
rejoiced if the cancer was in remission, and cried if it w asn't. Just
before I saw her for the last time, she
told me that her chest was so burned
and scarred that she would never consent to undergo radiation again. She
was in remission when she came to
spend her 70th birthday with me.
When I picked her up from the airport, I could hardly believe this was
my 'Dode.' She was delivered to the
waiting room in a wheelchair. Her
hair was snow white, her voice came
out in gasps and whispers, and her
appearance showed the ravages of a
very destructive and unrelenting disease. I lowered my tear-filled eyes as
I handed her a bouquet of flowers and
kissed her. When I hugged her, I
could feel the bones protruding
through her lightweight summer
dress.

DEAR EDITORS:
Throughout my three years as a student here at CSUSM, I have noticed
many changes on our campus. These changes were sometimes thought to be
in the best interest of the students, nonetheless the students were never asked
for their opinions or suggestions. I often ask my self when I hear about new
decisions made on campus, "Isn't it for us the students that this University is
here, to educate and serve?"
DEAR FELLOW CSUSM STUDENTS:
I am writing in response to inquiries regarding the CSUSM College Republicans that I have
received in recent days. As I am sure you all have noticed, the College Republicans have been
mentioned in one form or another in The Pride paper numerous times m recent weeks. Such attention has raised some questions from the student body and as Chairman of the College Republicans
I feel that it is my responsibility to clear some of the misconceptions and inform the CSUSM community o f what the College Republicans are all about.
I want to begin by saying that I am not happy about the recent happenings that have been taking
place on campus between the College Republicans and The Pride as I believe that I have allowed
our organization to slip off track from our originally set goals and focus. Although I do pledge to
drop this issue after today, I think it i s important that the CSUSM community at least know why
the College Republicans were upset with The Pride paper. On October 7th 1999, the College
Republicans brought a California State Assembly candidate onto campus to spend an evening with
us discussing political issues and current events. The event was open to everyone and the College
Republicans encouraged all students, faculty, friends, and family to attend. To inform the CSUSM
community of this event, the College Republicans issued a press release flyer to The Pride paper
and also spoke with one of The Pride's reporters. The reporter returned a couple of days later and
informed me that her editor was not going to put anything in the paper about events for the College
Republicans and that if we wanted advertising for our events we would have to pay for it. The
College Republicans did not believe that an article informing the school of the upcoming event
was an advertisement. The event was news and the paper should report the campus news. As we
all know CSUSM is a California State school and I think the people of our school would have been
interested to know what the front-runner candidate f or the California State Assembly would have
to say about the future of education. If elected, the way our guest votes in the Assembly could
affect every student, faculty, and staff member on this campus. If that is not news, I am not sure
what is. This was a clear example of biased reporting or lack of reporting.
There are two misconceptions about the College Republicans that I quickly would like to
address. First, the College Republicans have been referred to as the Young Republicans on numerous occasions in The Pride. The College Republicans are the only Republican student organization
on campus. The Young Republicans are a fine grassroots organization consisting of members
between the ages of 18 and 40 but they do not have a charter on the CSUSM campus. Second, the
College Republicans and the Young Americans for Freedom are not the same clubs. These two
clubs are two totally different organizations and although the two organizations may share some
similar beliefs, the College Republicans do not condone all of the activities that YAF conducts.
As I mentioned earlier in this letter, I intend to return the College Republicans to our original
goals and focus of getting students more involved in the political process. Currently people
between the ages of 18 and 24 do not participate in the political process in any significant percentages. We hope to make a difference with that by offering our members opportunities to get
involved. This is what the College Republicans do. This is why we were founded and this is what
we will continue to do for years to come. We are here to help enhance the campus life at CSUSM.
You may have noticed that I often refer to our school as a community. I honestly consider our
little school to be its own little community and I love the fact that CSUSM is that way. Our school
is unique in that we all benefit from small class sizes and close relationships/friendships with our
professors. You just won't find those benefits at other schools. Everybody knows everybody here.
This is awesome and the friendships made while here at CSUSM will last us all a lifetime. I love
o ur school and plan to be an active part of CSUSM as a proud alumnus, long after I graduate. If
you have any questions o r concerns please feel free to contact me at mike sann@yahoo.com.
See you in the halls!
Thank you for your time,
Mike Sannella
Chairman
CSUSM College Republicans
EDITORS' RESPONSE
It deeply disturbs me to see that someone on campus such as Phyllis has
taken initiative to correct something she saw wrong on her own, and was
immediately shunned for what she did (which we all know was the right
thing to do) in the following Pride article with the retraction. It is because of
people like Phyllis and the many others Tom Weir, Jim Carr, etc...(whom the
University is LUCKY to have as employees) who take initiative and fix
things they see wrong on their own or go out of their way to help us students,
that I love going to this University. The thing I hate is that some members of
our Administration don't know how to react when they make bad moves and
try to make those who fix them look bad. These Administrators should be
able to recognize when they make a mistake and get over it as well as give
credit to those who DESERVE it. It is obvious by what the retraction article
said that the person who was in charge of correcting this problem at the time
was not doing his job, therefore someone else had to come in and correct the
problem.
Hopefully in the future the Administrators of this University will make
better decisions based on input from the students, learn to deal with their
mistakes, and move on.
News, by definition is something which is duly reported upon after it has occurred; and is not
pre-event publicity. The Pride does* not do free advance publicity f or any campus clubs or
organizations. The Pride will, if space permits include information about club or organizational events in the Calendar of Events. However, due to lack of time (and inclination) The Pride
cannot, and will not retype flyers, letters, or any other form of paper based communications.
All submissions to The Pride must be sent in electronic copy. This both explains the lack of
pre-event publication for Mason Weaver, and his position on the front page after his talk on
campus.
Contrary to your statement that there has been a problem between The Pride and the College
Republicans, The Pride has never considered itself as having a problem with the your organization (m fact we sought out contributions from your members). However The Pride does take
offense to the derogatory comments leveled by the YAF who denounced The Pride as a
'tabloid,'' and undermined the hard work of the contributing students (a number of whom are
Republicans). The Pride notes that you distinguish yourself as separate from the YAF, however,
the fact that you were, until recently, listed as the membership chairman of the YAF has also
been duly noted.
The Pride commends the College Republicans, a fully recognized on-campus organization,
in their return to their goal and focus of getting students more involved in the political process.

OPINION
I f r e ffiribe
DEAR EDITORS:
CSUSM boasts that it is the first university to open its doors with a Women's Studies
program. Imagine my surprise as a new
CSUSM student only to find out that our
program has not been given even one
tenured faculty position in the ten years of
its existence. Women's Studies is an interdisciplinary program that focuses on the experiences and issues of women past and present,
from diverse race, class and cultural backgrounds. As a program it epitomizes the
commitment to diversity that the University
considers a cornerstone.
The most important benefits of a tenured
faculty member would be in providing a liaison between the University and the Women's
Studies majors and the necessary program
development required to insure that the program continues to address the issues facing
women in a dynamic global environment.
Currently sharing these duties are Co-Chairs,
Dr. Linda Shaw and Dr. Jill Watts, who have
the added responsibilities of being faculty in
other programs.
The University's failure t o provide a
tenured faculty member f or the Women's
Studies program reflects poorly on
CSUSM's credibility in its commitment to
this program. It is time for CSUSM Hiring
Priority Committee to dignify the Women's
Studies program by establishing a tenured
faculty position.

Veterans Day, a federal holiday, saw a high number of children on campus
because they had no school but their parents did. I realize this letter may make me
an unpopular person on campus, but I believe having minors in a college classroom compromises the learning environment for the entire class. A discussion
about children on campus must be initiated.
According to CSUSM Policy as listed on the web (http://ww2.csusm.edu/business_serv/206p__Depend_Children_on_Campus.htm), "As a growing campus,
CSU San Marcos' facilities are fully utilized, and as a result, it is necessary to
limit access to the campus by dependent children who are not currently enrolled
CSU San Marcos students." The policy then outlines conditions when students are
permitted on campus. One passage states that children shall be "under the direct
supervision of their parent or legal guardian who is attending class or work, and is
unable to obtain child care for the day. Prior approval by Instructor's or employee's supervisor, or both, is required.'' I empathize with the child-care dilemma of
parent-students, but I feel their situation,is no less fair than the situation instructors and fellow classmates are asked to endure when the children become uninvited visitors to the classroom. The "prior approval by Instructor" may often be
granted, if asked for at all, in a split-second decision that the instructor is asked to
make before taking the final step across the threshold and into t he classroom. The
instructor can be placed in the unenviable position of having to choose whether or
not to exclude the parent-student and child from class. If allowed in the classroom
the child-visitor may adversely affect that day's lecture, or stifle candid classroom
discussion, because of attempts to avoid exposing the child-visitor to adult or otherwise sensitive material.
I don't have the answer, but I do challenge readers of The Pride to discuss
child-care options openly. Perhaps CSUSM's own ASI ("by students f or students") could investigate the feasibility of opening up an hourly day-care service
(in addition to the already full ASI Early Learning Center), either on or off campus. Maybe ASI could use one of the vacant o ffice spaces of the Palomar
Pomerado Health Services building that sits adjacent to the campus. No one, a
parent, a child, instructor, or classmate, should have to "just deal with it."
The University Store is very concerned
about the conditions under which any product for resale on campus is manufactured or
assembled.
Therefore, we make every
effort to "Buy American" whenever possible. Unfortunately, buying exclusively
American is becoming increasingly difficult
to do, as ever-increasing numbers of manufacturers go offshore to remain competitive.
The University Store, therefore requires
every manufacturer to comply with a written
code of conduct requiring adherence to minimum employment standards regarding
wages, benefits, working hours, overtime,
child labor, forced labor, health and safety,
nondiscrimination, harassment and abuse,
and collective bargaining. Using these
guidelines allows us to work with a variety
of vendors t o insure that customers are
offered the necessary assortment of quality
products at competitive prices.
We realize that a code of conduct is not a
panacea for international labor problems, but
we also believe that a code of conduct can be
a positive factor toward the ultimate goal of
elimination of child labor, sweatshop conditions, and other labor problems. We at the
University Store are working diligently to do
our part in confronting this very significant
human rights issue.

P RIDE STAFF WRITER
Three Kings is definitely a
bizarre film but also one of the
y ear's b est This movie has
some really great action mixed
with some weird political
humor. The movie takes place at
the end of the Gulf War of 1991
Operation Desert Storm. "Are
we shooting?" the movie's first
words set the pace. The w ar's
truce confuses the soldiers that a
guy waving a white flag gets his
head shot off in the misunderstanding.
Later, three U.S. soldiers find
an Iraqi with a piece of paper
embedded in an orifice of the
bottom. An officer issues a rubber glove and tells a private to
pull it out. The map shows the
location of gold bullion looted
f rom Kuwait by Saddam
Hussein's troops and buried in a
secret bunker. The three soldiers are Sgt. Troy Barlow
(Mark Wahlberg), Chief Elgin
(Ice Cube) and Pvt. Conrad Vig
(Spike Jonze). Sgt. Maj. Archie
Gates (George Clooney), a
Special Forces veteran who
stumbles onto the three soldiers
decides on the spot to lead them
on an unauthorized mission to
steal the treasure. This embarks
the movie on a wild extraordinary ride through the desert in
search of the gold. Meanwhile,
Adriana Cruz, played by Nora
Dunn as a driven journalist who
just wants a story at any cost follows the men on their escapade.
She adds a lot of the parody
comedy that the film seems to
embellish.
Most movies show bodies
being hit by bullets and blood
splattering out of them, but this
one sends the camera inside to
show a bullet cavity filling up
with bile. It is a great piece of
work and is just one reason why
this movie is so incredible. Also,
cameraman Newton Thomas
Sigel uses a grainy, bleached
style that gives this movie its
identity and is like nothing most
viewers have seen on film.
A political undertone thrives
all through the film. It is pure
irony that while Iraqis kill Iraqis
the American gold thieves prosper from their anguish. Getting

the viewer insight into the imaginary worlds of two young boys, the

Immunization
Adrienne Lopez
Lisa Morgan
Student Health Services
(SHS) is holding free MMR
(Measles, Mumps, and
Rubella) Shot Clinics for students born after January 1,
1957 and who need to satisfy
the CSU-wide immunization
requirement before the beginning of their second term.
Students who have not provided proof of prior immunization to SHS will have an
"I-hold" placed on their
record and will not be able to
register for Spring classes
until satisfying the CSU
requirement.
I am attending the University
of Wales at Swansea, which is a
campus that holds about 11,000.
The academic system here varies
a bit from what I 've been used to
at CSUSM. Here, they require 3
years of study and the fourth year
is considered graduate work. I
am taking four* classes that
extend throughout the year. This
system is exciting for me because
it allows me an opportunity to
study a few subjects in depth.
The classes do cover a lot of
material, but the material is more
focused. I get to learn more
about my field of study, instead
of a little about everything.
Although you can take classes
outside your major, in Wales
there is really no such thing as
general education. Also, the
whole atmosphere is a bit more
relaxed. There is a lot of competition to get into universities, so
the students seem to take their
positions and studying a bit more
seriously. D on't get me wrong,
people still want to have f un,
however they d on't take their
roles f or granted. Students are
expected to do a great deal of
independent study. For example,
f or one literature class I have a
suggested reading list of 10 to 20
books. I am not expected to read
them all, but they are available to
me when I go to write my papers.
In most departments two papers
are due—one at Christmas break
and one at the end of the year in
May. Most visiting students d on't
have to sit for exams in June, but
are graded by merit of their two
essays.
EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM:
The educational system here
surprised me, but not because it
is so difficult. What surprised me
was that I only spend six hours
per week in class. I have three
classes this semester, which is
the equivalent of 17 U.S. units.
Most of my time is spent on independent reading. Since I am here
studying British Literature, my
classes require me to read at least
one novel per week. The grading
procedures are tough getting
used to, too. There are no tests
and* no quizzes in these classes.
My grades will be based on a single essay ttfat is due on the last
day of each class. Sometimes a
group presentation or smaller
essay will make up 20% of the
grade, but that situation is very
rare.
Talking about breaks, we get a
month off f or Christmas and a
month off for Easter!!!! Can you
imagine. That is a nice chunk of
time. One drawback, though—
papers are due as soon as you
arrive back f rom the Christmas
holiday. There is great deal to do
and see, not only in Southern
Wales but in all of Europe.
Southern Wales boasts the largest
number of Castles in Britain, and
the most beautiful rugged coastlines. Wales also has two major
national parks featuring green
countryside and breathtaking
mountain top views. You can get
away for a weekend or longer if
you wish.
As a Southern California girl,
I must say I have been adjusting
fairly well to my new surroundings. I have even begun watching
Rugby, which is a big pastime
here in the pubs. Even if beer
drinking is not your f avorite,
hobby, there is an overwhelming
number of activities and clubs to
choose from. The Welsh people
are incredibly nice, as are many
of my fellow international students. There are visiting students
f rom all over the world: Africa,
Germany, Denmark, Holland,
Italy, France, Spain, Portugal,
India, and Japan.
TRAVEL:
Travelling around Europe is
something I had always dreamed
about but never had the opportunity to do. This program has
given me a chance to see not only
the major sights that everyone
knows, but the less well-known
places that are just as beautiful.
My first day trip was to York,
where I saw the moors and the
ancient city that includes the oldest cathedral in Europe. Last
weekend I took a 2-day trip to
Liverpool f or my birthday.
Although most of the tourists
were there f or all the Beatles
tours and museums, the city of
Liverpool i s an architect's
dream—it is a beautiful city. I
have a f ew more trips planned,
including visits to Edinburgh and
Amsterdam.
Many people have asked me
why I came here. They cannot
understand why I chose to study
literature when I am a liberal
studies major planning to be an
elementary school teacher. Well,
my answer is that since the educational systems are so different,
I decided to study in my special
field- Literature and Writing
Studies. I chose England, not
because I already knew the language, but because there is no
better place to learn about British
literature. Also, it was the least
expensive program available to
me.
SIMILARITIES
BETWEEN
ENGLAND AND AMERICA:
As soon as I stepped off the
train and met the girl f rom the

noticed she was eating a Snickers

Measles, Mumps, and
Rubella (German Measles)
are commonly known as
childhood diseases that can
be spread from person to person through the air. When
viewed as a group these diseases can cause anything
from a runny nose to meningitis to birth defects and, in
rare
instances,
death.
Literature from the U.S.
Department of Health &
Human Services suggests
children should get two doses
of the MMR vaccine after
they have reached one year of
age. The doses need to be
separated by at least 28 days
but are preferably given three
to five years apart.
The official Vaccine
Information Statement also
states that people "who have
ever had a life-threatening
allergic reaction to gelatin,
the antibiotic neomycin, or a
previous dose of MMR vaccine" should not get MMR
vaccine. Students claiming
exemption for medical reasons must provide a letter
from a physician to SHS.
Student exemption from
immunization is also allowed
for religious or personal

The Great American Smokeout
Andrea Cavanaugh
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Are you one of those students
who can't wait for class to end so
you can smoke a cigarette? Have
you ever wished you could quit
smoking? Those smokers who
want to quit will find support on
Thursday, November 18, when
the Great American Smokeout
takes place nationwide. The Great
American Smokeout, sponsored
by the American Cancer Society
since 1977, is intended to help
people to quit by encouraging
them to stop smoking for just one
day. The Peer Education and
Support Program at CSUSM will
stage an event at Founder's Plaza
from 9:00am - 2:00pm which
will include giveaways, smoking
cessation ideas, and a video presentation.
Although a great deal of support will be available for the
Smokeout, CSUSM Health
Services o ffers help to people
who want to quit smoking at any
time. Health Educator Susan Pool
Carman offers suggestions to help
people give up tobacco. In addition to using nicotine substitutes
such as patches or gum to ease the
transition, Carman suggests getting plenty of exercise and drinking lots of fluids. Finding something to keep the hands busy can
help to break the habit, she said.
Finally, forming a support system
of non-smokers and temporarily
avoiding people who smoke can
help a person successfully quit
smoking, she said.
Smoking is actually on the rise
among teenagers and young
adults, according to the American
Cancer Society, even though the
evidence continues to mount that
Carman suggests that
choosing an optimum time to
quit can increase chances for
success. Trying to quit during
times of extreme stress can be
difficult, she said. Keep in
mind, however, that "there's
no perfect time to quit smoking." Choosing a time of transition, for example, when
acquiring a new car or a new
apartment, can actually help to
break the habit, she said.
"Sometimes a new environment can make a difference." '
Whether to quit gradually
or abruptly depends on the
smoker and the extent of the
habit, Carman said. Those with
heavy smoking habits may want
to consider the gradual approach.
For anyone planning to quit "cold
turkey," Carman suggests selecting a "quit date" in advance and
using the interim time to cut
down and plan strategies to deal
with the stress of giving up tobacco.
smoking is a deadly habit.
"People think they're immortal,"
said Lisa Kunschick, Chair of the
Great American Smokeout event
at CSUSM. Cigarettes kill more
Americans than AIDS, alcohol,
car accidents, murders, suicides,
drugs, and fires combined,
according
to
the
ACS.
Nevertheless, more than one mil-
lion children will start smoking
this year, and one-third of them
will die as a direct result of their
addiction.
Besides the health risk, another
incentive to quit smoking is the
cost of cigarettes, which are
becoming prohibitively expensive.
The
California
Department of Health Services
tries to encourage people to
quit by showing them what
they could buy if the money
spent on cigarettes were available for other things. Going
without cigarettes for one week
will buy a new CD, and going
without cigarettes f or one
month will buy two concert
tickets. A person who quits
smoking for one year could
purchase a trip for two to
Hawaii!
Many people begin smoking in
the military, Carman said, or as
the result of peer pressure from
friends. Whether a person starts
smoking in childhood, adolescence, or adulthood, for whatever
reason, no one plans on becoming
addicted. Few people envision
themselves the victim of a pack-aday habit, either. Carman shakes
her head. "Somewhere between
one and twenty cigarettes it
becomes an addiction."
For those people struggling
with the desire to quit smoking,
and for anyone dealing with the
stress of upcoming finals and the
holiday
season, the Peer
Education and Support Program
is presenting a workshop on stress
management called " Don't Let
Your Holidays Be a Turkey." The
workshop takes place on Monday,
November 22 f rom Noon 1:00pm in UH 237. In addition to
offering techniques f or stress
management and relaxation,
refreshments will be served, and
there will be a drawing to win a
gift certificate for a f ree turkey
dinner or other groceries.
Students can enter the drawing
during the Great American
Smokeout event or at the workshop.
Another opportunity for relaxation and stress relief exists at
Student Health Services. The
"Alpha Chair" is a comfortable
egg-shaped chair in a private
room where the student can view
relaxing videos or listen to music.
The Alpha Chair is available by
appointment only - call 750-4910

Pain, fear and love filled my whole being for this
cousin who had endured, so much suffering in the past
year. During her short visit, she taught me a new version of Canasta and we laughed and reminisced about
all the good times we had shared. We looked at family
pictures and reconstructed the day and where the photo
was taken. We remembered the family reunions when
her parents and all of the numerous aunts and uncles
were still alive. I cooked my favorite recipes for her
but she would take a few bites and say she couldn't eat
anymore. She lived on cans of a high protein, whole
food drink. She rested several times a day. I gave her
my 'positive thinking bear' that would say "I love you"
and "You are a good person" when she pushed a button
in its back. I kept my bedroom door open at night so I
could s ee her across the hallway. One night I saw her
hold the bear up and I heard her say, "I love you, too."
Soon it was time for her to f ly to Phoenix to visit her
two sisters. She told me that she still had hope f or
recovery, but if the cancer returned, she would not go
through any more treatment. She told me, "Everything
is in order. I 'm ready, June."
The cancer did return and she passed away several
months later. There are times when I come across a
great recipe and think, " I'll send this to Dode." She
loved to cook and eat. She was a God-fearing woman
who loved life, but she also loved smoking. She paid
for that love with her life.
I miss you, Dode. If you' ve thought about giving up
cigarettes, please try it today. It won't be easy, but the
reward will be great.

The Great American Smokeout, an event that encourages
smokers to quit for the day (and
permanently), was celebrated at
CSU San Marcos on Thursday,
November 18 in Founder's
Plaza. Peer Education and
Support (PEAS), an official d ub
on campus, had coordinated the
event and invited Kaiser
Permanente, Palomar Pomerado
Hospital, and UCSD to the cam-'
pus.
The organization of nine students, which includes PEAS
Peer Educator Karyn Harmon,
oversaw the organization of
tables and distribution of information and literature. "We've
had a lot of people stop by - a lot
of smokers and a few people
who have quit for the day," stated Karyn. The American Cancer
Society provided pamphlets, flyers, and banners for the
Smokeout. Their videotape
"Advertising: How Does it
Rate?" played on a television
monitor and showed 14 different
no smoking commercials and
ads that were funded by the state
of California.
Although unable to attend the
event, UCSD Medical Center
supplied CSUSM with "You
Can Take Charge" cards that
offered a I-8OO-NO-BUTTS
smoker's helpline. A giant cigarette constructed by the PEAS
members blew a stream of
smoke to crowds of passing students while smokers and volunteers alike met face to face over
help materials. During their free
noontime barbecue in front of
the Dome, Associated Students,
Inc. (ASI) sent students to the
Smokeout event by advertising
signs for free drinks up at the
Smokeout table.

Dear Editors:
RESPONSE TO THE UNIVERSITY STORE
I've held my peace as long as possible. It is time for someone to
voice dissatisfaction with the administration of CSUSM, The Pride,
and the entire Cal State college system. This past Thursday 11-11-99
was Veteran's Day. There was nothing about it in the newspaper.
There were no planned activities by the administration. There wasn't
even an acknowledgment by the school in any way to honor the veterans except for the appearance of a few students wearing items that
identified them as veterans. It is disgraceful that the Cal State college
system has as its policy one that refuses to acknowledge the most
multi-cultural organization in this country- the United States military.
This is especially true f or CSUSM, which prides itself on being
founded on multi-cultural principles. Nowhere in this country is there
an organization more integrated in gender, ethnicity, and wide-ranging belief systems. There are three flag poles in front of the campus,
two are always flying a flag. Hie third stands empty the majority of
the time, Would it have been a harmful gesture of respect for the
administration to have flown a POW-MIA flag from this standard in
recognition of the service of veterans? There are a number of veterans
at CSUSM who are students. I 'm sure there are a number of faculty
that are veterans, though for some reason they don't wish to acknowledge it. While most other groups have their special celebrations and
designated awareness days, weeks and months, and the system
ensures that these are advertised and supported, the veteran has one
day a year designated to honor her/him. It is shameful that the
CSUSM administration is so blatantly neglectful. Remember, without
the veterans, none of you would have this campus, your educational
opportunities, nor your job.
I was very happy to see the prompt response by the University Store. I think this demonstrates how
our administration seems to have a genuine concern about this important issue of labor rights,
However, I was hoping that the response would have been more specific.
Respectfully,
R. D. Hawkins
Dear Editors:
In response to your Editors' Response in the last issue of The Pride, I
believe it is important to clarify some errors that your staff had made
while addressing the College Republicans.
h The Pride said: "Contrary to your statement that there has been a
problem between The Pride and the College Republicans..." My
statement never included the word problem as I, like you, do not consider the College Republicans as having a problem with The Pride
paper. I did say, "I aip not happy about the recent happenings that
have been taking place..." Happenings do not necessarily equate to
problems.
2. The Pride said: "you were, until recently, listed as the Membership
Chairman of the YAF..."
I was the Membership Director, not Chairman. Minor mistake, but
nevertheless could be easily misconstrued as me being the Chairman.
Thank you for taking note in that I am no longer a member of YAF.
3. As the Chairman of the College Republicans, I respectfully ask that
when The Pride Editors are handling disputes in which they have
with other student organizations, that they do not attempt to refute
their problems in the same Editors' Response that is directed to the
College Republicans. It would be greatly appreciated if you would
handle your disputes in separate articles.
Thank you for your time,
MikeSannella

In order for students to be sure we are not buying sweatshop garments in our bookstore, we need to
know what code of conduct is required. Not only do we need the details of that code, but we also need
to know who monitors and enforces the code, In addition, we need to know the factory locations of
the companies who supply our University Store.
There are good reasons why those last few details are important/First of all, there are companies who
create codes of conduct which are not acceptable. In El Salvador, for instance, a one day "living
wage" (which determined how much sweatshop employees were going to be paid) was based on calculating half the price of food for one day. That's it. No clothing. No shelter. No transportation. No
toys for kids. No money for educating kids or adults in the family. Just half of the cost of food.
The second reason 'specifics' are important is because whoever monitors and enforces the code is
very powerful in this industry. Companies who oversee their own codes are not objective. It is too
hard for them to see the injustices that they bring upon the laborers. To them it is just business as
usual. Also, it is often the case that managers and supervisors are merely doing what they can to keep4
up with the demands that come down from headquarters in corporate America.
The third request of naming factory locations is important because we need to know which American
companies truly do their business in America/ Recently, because of pressure being put on by students,
companies such as Nike and GAP(Gap, Baby Gap, and Old Navy) have started naming where their
factories are located. Of course, most of their manufacturing is done overseas in sweatshops. The millionaire and billionaire managers and owners of these companies gave the excuse that the responsibility was "out of their hands" because they couldn't be in all places at once to monitor labor conditions.
This is no excuse. I can't believe it is impossible to set up a monitoring system to make sure workers
are not suffering and starving in their factories. They just'don't Want to 'waste' their profits on such a
monitoring system.
At the "Students Against Sweatshops" conference, we had women who were former sweatshop
employees speak to us. They spent many hard years slaving over clothing made for colleges. When
these women tried to organize labor rights movements, they were fired, their families were threatened, and also the women were followed and told they would be killed.
This is why it is important to make sure that we truly are doing all we can to bring about equality. We
need to stop the horrible practices of sweatshops by making sure the people in corporate America
realize it is of utmost importance to the consumers that they give all laborers a living wage and treat
them with dignity.
I am happy that our University Store requires manufacturers to follow a code of conduct. However, I
hope that the details of this code are made public so that the students can decide if it is the code that
we want our clothing manufacturers to follow.
This is a very complicated issue. However, one detail is very simple: The people who make billions of
dollars from sweatshops are going to continue their abusive practices until the consumers demand
otherwise.
Michelle Jacob
In regards to Joe's letter to the editor that appeared in the November 8 issue:
Joe, my gosh you spent a whole semester and a half at CSU San Marcos and just now realizing you're
bored? One would have to question why yoti didn't think of this BEFORE you enrolled here. It seems
to me there are a 'cazillion' colleges you could have picked from. Perhaps you should question why
you picked CSU San Marcos to begin with? Was it the price tag? The ease of which you got accepted?
Is it possibly the location to your home, etc.? Did your parents have say in the matter? Wow, I could go
on. I 'm just very curious why you DID choose CSU San Marcos—surely there had to be a good reason
for choosing a commuter college. Also you mentioned that the average age of the students here is 28.
I 've been brought up to think that people at any age can enrich and add to an environment, rather than
take away from it. You mention a lot of factors that contribute to this school being a bore. If you are so
interested in sports, then why didn't you pick Notre Dame or some other school? If your friends are all
"having the time of their lives" living in dorms, then why don't you change schools so you can be with
them? If you choose to stay at CSU San Marcos, then why don't you try joining one of the many successful clubs on campus, call the Associated Students Office, and just get yourself involved? However,
remember that CSU San Marcos has a writing requirement in all classes and that may limit the amount
of time you have to party. The bottom line i s that you have to decide what is important—a party life or
graduating on time, before you become "28" years of age.

UPWARD BOUND Cont. Pg. 1
Chalk Marks
By Victor Mireles
As the days of optimism fade
from view and the cold hard reality
of school work finally sets one into a
routine of study and sleep, there are
some things on campus that "remind
us that tiiiie truly flies while you're
alive. There are the leaves that have
turned a wonderful shade of brown,
the mountain behind the Science
Hall that has shrunk to the size of a
foothill, and the term papers that
seem to come all at one time, even
though they were assigned two
months ago.
Yet, as I walk the mile from my
car to the campus on top of the hill I
notice the once proud graffiti of rush

and wash away. Why am I mentioning this to you? The reason is simple. Life moves much too fast for all
of us. In a world where news is old

a moment once in a while to look
out from on top of the hill on campus.
the North County San Diego area.
It is a federally funded TRIO program f or low-income and firstgeneration high school students
who are motivated to attend and
succeed in college.
Because the Upward Bound
program at CSUSM was rated in
the top 2% in the nation, they are
currently operating in their
"bonus" fifth year (grants are typically funded for 4 years only).
Their new grant comes into effect
in 2000.

Look out and see the horizon and
notice how at sundown all the colors
of nature come out and reveal to all
below the beauty of the sky. Take
time and notice that many seem
locked in a permanent gaze downward, as if in anticipation of the
assignment to be soon given by the
faculty. Take time and notice that
there is more to life than school and
work and the daily grind. Notice that
we should learn not only from books
but also from the world around us.
Not even the best machine can produce the good feelings of warmth
that the sun gives to all. I thought
that before the start of finals week
and the ever-present holiday season,
that I should share a thought rather
than a rant. I hope that, whatever
else you do in the next two weeks,
that you look around and notice the
chalk marks on the street.

"Dogma-- one of my top 3 favorite movies of all time."
Dogma is a grand satire of the structure and practice of religions.
In this case, Catholicism happens to be the example. The movie
brings up controversial questions about the interpretation of God
and Jesus the Messiah. As an example, Cardinal Glick thinks the
crucified Jesus is too "depressing" for people, and resorts to a cartoon-like buddy Jesus giving the thumbs-up sign.
Dogma exposes other controversial ideas such as God as a
female, Jesus not being white, and Mary and Joseph having children after the virgin birth of Jesus, The movie asks the questions: If
these were the cases, would the religion change? Would the people
take the religion the same way? Would it make any difference to
the overall message of the religion?
After a blatant disclaimer to "cover one's ass," Dogma opens
with the Cardinal Glick (George Carlin) announcing the rededication of his New Jersey church as part of his "Catholicism WOW!"
campaign. Meanwhile, in a Wisconsin airport two fallen angels,
Loki (Matt Damon) and Bartleby (Ben Affleck), receive an anonymous letter informing them of the rededication and a church decree
that anyone who enters the church arches comes out cleaned from
sin.
For disobedience, God sent Loki and Bartleby to live with the
humans until the end of time. After the end of life, the fallen angels
are condemned to sit in front of the gates of heaven. Getting a
"clean slate" ensures the fallen angels a way back into heaven, so
Loki and Bartleby make their way toward the east coast.
At the same time, Bethany (Lindo Fiorentino), a doubtful
Catholic working in an abortion clinic, is visited by the voice of
God Metetron (Alan Rickman). Metetron tells Bethany of the news
and sends her on a mission to prevent the angels from entering
thechurch. On the way to New Jersey, Bethany teams up with the
prophets Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Dogma Director
Kevin Smith), the 13th apostle Rufus (Chris Rock), and the muse
Serendipity (Salma Hayek) to achieve the will of God.
This is a must-see movie for any person not easily offended by
the questioning of the structure of religion. The movie is classified
as a comedy, but the moments where comedy and theology intertwine may make the deeply devout or narrow minded miss the
overall message of the movie: Why do we believe in what to do?
Why can't we have ideas instead of believing anything?

"Turn your face away from the garish light

If you have never been to a theatrical production then the Phantom
of the Opera is an excellent opportunity to indulge your senses. An
elaborate recreation of the Paris Opera House sets the mystical mood
for Andrew Lloyd Webber's renowned musical. The plot goes back in
time to the Opera House in 1881 and relates the story of Christine
Daae, played by Rebecca Pitcher, who struggles with fate, fear, and
love. The Phantom, portrayed with emotion by Brad Little, is lustfully
entranced with Christine and pushes her career to the top through
Opera House hauntings. Fickle Christine is torn between her f ather's
dying words, Raoul (a childhood boyfriend), and the p oj^rijal "Angel

Becoming More Aware of AIDS in Our Community
By Chandra Osborn, Peer Educator (CAPS) for The Pride
Many people fail to realize the
extent to which AIDS thrives
within a community. More
importantly, they lack the understanding that "it could happen to
me."
For many years, we have been
fed information on HIV and
AIDS. The need for prevention
and awareness has literally been
shoved down our throats.
Information overload may distance ourselves from the disease.
Thus, we continually forget how
important it is to acknowledge
that HIV is still alive; we fail to
realize that we are responsible
for controlling its spread. More
importantly, it is essential that we
remind ourselves that HIV can
affect our lives, and/or those we
love.
Many are unaware that North
County is the home for the only
two licensed care facilities for
men and women who are living
with AIDS in all of San Diego

is located in Escondido, and

The recently formed

publicized their first newsletter,
The Mind

Connection, last week to
introduce themselves to the
campus community. The publication is the first in a
planned series of four for the
academic year, and is funded
by a grant from the State
Lottery Commission, the
California Lottery.
This year students on our campus are having the pleasure of studying
under guest professor Christian Ferrer from the Marne-La-Vallee in Paris,
France. Professor Ferrer began teaching in 1968, and has instructed in many
schools around the globe. For Ferrer's first visit to the U.S. he chose to take
the opportunity to teach at CSUSM.
Ferrer prefers to work wherever h e travels, rather than to visit as a tourist.
He says, "I learn much more about America at CSUSM than I would at
Disneyland." Ferrer is currently teaching two courses here. They are "Death
in Contemporary French Literature" and "British Romance Poetry," and work
with such authors as Camus, Ionesco, Coleridge, and Shelley.
Professor Ferrer earned his first Masters of English at La Sorbonne Paris,
and then continued his education in England at Manchester and Lancaster
where he earned his Masters in English Linguistics. Only four years after
beginning his career he entered "l'Agregation" in English Linguistics, a competitive: "exam" taken by 2,000 candidates, and ranked fifth amongst all.
Unfortunately, Professor Ferrer must depart for France at the end Of the
semester, but he hopes to soon return. "I am a very, very happy CSUSM
t eacher... and I am hooked on California sunsets."
One example of collaboration under the HCDS banner
was the "Great American
Smoke Out" display in
Founder's Plaza on Thursday,
November 18. Peer facilitators from CAPS and the
Student Health Advisory
Board members joined forces
to promote a smoke-free day
and lifestyle. HCDS has also
finalized plans to promote
"HIV/AIDS Awareness Day"
on becember I, and has tentative plans for a pre-holiday
"Alcohol Awareness Day,"
said Nicholson.
The publication is dedicated to the late Sandra R.
Kuchler, who is noted as "one
of the pioneers of CSUSM's
student services programs."

On Monday, November 15, President Sun Zhong Qing and Zhang Ting Guo, Director
of International Relations, made a special visit to Cal State San Marcos on behalf of
Yantai University in the People's Republic of China. The distinguished guests were welcomed by the President's Cabinet, given a tour of the campus with Russ Decker, spoke
with Chinese students, and met with various department faculties.
Yantai's enrollment of 6,700 full-time and 3,000 part-time students make it very similar to CSUSM, although their university is several years older. Zhang noted the many
fields of study that are offered at Yantai which include science, engineering, literature, art,
international business, and marine studies.

At the moment, CSUSM and Yantai University are in the planning process of furthering contact between the two campuses. Some projects in the works include the possibility
of . Yantai sending over a faculty member for training in Computer Science and CSUSM
B.A's and M.A.'s teaching English in China for a year.
Yantai University President Sun and International Relations Directbr Zhang conversed
with Colleges of Business, Language, and Literature faculty. Literature and Writing
Studies department chair Dr. Yuan noted that currently there is no Chinese Studies program at CSUSM, but there may be the possibility of a cultural immersion program with
universities like Yantai in the future*
Dr. Yuan had visited Yantai University with Peter Zwick, Sheldon Lou, and President
Bill Stacy in October of 1996. Located in the Shandong Province of China, Dr. Yuan
states that Yantai University is at "at the edge of the sea" and describes it as "very pretty
and right near the beach." Since the signing of a formal agreement at theinitial meeting of
the two universities, two CSUSM students have traveled to Yantai University to teach
English between 1996-1998.

If you were watching ESPN on Tuesday, you may
have gotten a warm feeling after seeing your school
on television. Cal State San Marcos was broadcast on
television last Tuesday, November 16. Steve Scott,
the head coach for the cross-country team, commented on Arturo Barrio's Invitational in Chula Vista.
During a brief hiatus between the races, Sieve Scott
was interviewed and a few runners of the cross-country team were shown. When asked about his first time
as a coach, Scott informed ESPN viewers that since
his retirement, it is the second most amazing thing in
his life (the first being the marriage to his wife). Also,
if you missed it last week, the runners left for
Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Thursday, November 18 to
compete in Nationals and the team will return to
California on Sunday. Steve Scott and CSUSM's
cross-country team can be seen again on Thursday,
November 25, at 1:00am on ESPN.
New Biotech
Certificate Offered
at CSUSM
By Joni Miller
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
A new certificate program will be
offered at CSUSM in February 2000
to provide practical, hands-on training in Biotechnology. Ten courses
offered in the spring will focus on
ensuring marketable skills in the
biotech field.
* Loan programs are available.
Each course carries 1.5 continuing
education units. Successful completion of six of the courses is required
to qualify for the certificate. The
five-week classes are open to anyone, and are priced at $325.00 each.
In response to a growing need for
workers ready for employment, the
program will enhance the skills and
knowledge of science students.
Craig Halverson, Director of
Regulatory Affairs with Gen-Probe,
Inc. helped plan the idea and will be
an instructor of the program. "There
are not enough candidates applying
for jqjbs that support laboratory
research - jobs that are ancillary to
the laboratories," Halverson said.

Campus Housing Coming Soon
Fatimah Cruz-Young
After reviewing the responses
from last semester's surveys the
administration decided to build
the housing units near the
Barham entrance to the campus.
This site was chosen over several
others because it is within easy
walking distance to current campus buildings and will also be
close to planned buildings.
Although nothing has been
finalized yet the Student
Housing Advisory Committee
feels it has a clear understanding
of what the students would

A fter much research and

CSUSM will finally be able to
enjoy residential life on campus.
The future housing units will be
apartment-style dorms, with
approximately two beds per

expect from the residential housing experience. Price and privacy are two very important issues.
Other issues include having
rooms that are equipped f or
today's advanced living, a "port
f or every pillow" Internet and
telephone access in every room.
At this point in time there is
no formal housing on campus,
but the University does offer a
limited housing program. Just
two miles from campus, the university has 23 units with approximately 80 students living in an
apartment complex.
According to Susan E.
Mitchell, Dean of Students and
Lifelong Learning Services,
planning housing on campus is a
long process and requires a sufficient amount of research, if it is
to serve its purpose "aiding in
student success."
Meeting students' needs f or
on-campus housing i s a long
process. In order to obtain campus housing there must be
enough student interest, a place
to build housing and ability to be
self-supporting. There must be
enough students paying rent in
order for the campus to maintain
the property without having to
take money f rom other departments. This does not mean that
housing will be overly expensive, but that the campus must
find a contractor who is capable
and reasonably priced.
The campus is currently
awaiting bids to have housing
built at little or ^ o upfront cost,
under
a
Private
Public
Partnership. In return, the campus must guarantee that enough
students will live in the housing
to repay the contractors for their
services.

Founding faculty member
Bernard Hinton celebrated 10
years of service to the CSUSM
community on Friday, November
19. A catered luncheon, white
linens, and bougainvillea decked
the Dome patio in honor of
"Bernie," one of the first founding faculty members to retire
from this university. Nearly 100
people attended the celebration.
Hinton's long service to CSU
San Marcos was honored with
speeches and g ifts. Speakers
were Regina Eisenbach, Beverlee
Andersen, President Gonzalez,
and others. Eisenbach said that
"Bernie's the reason" she works
at CSUSM; Andersen gently
"roasted" Hinton with a poem
she wrote; and President
Gonzalez noted that when he
arrived at the university "everyone here knew Bernie Hinton."
Hinton was presented with an
engraved clock and a memory
album filled with personal reflections during the course of the
two-hour long event.
Hinton served in several
capacities during the past 10
years. He began as Professor of
Management in the College of
Business, and holds that title as
he retires; he was Special
Assistant to President Bill Stacy;
and he held the position of
Director of Center for DecisionMaking. On a more personal
note, Hinton is responsible f or
the scarlet mounds of bougainvillea that adorn the hillsides around
the university. An accomplished
gardener, Hinton originally wanted roses planted, but chose the
brilliant vine instead, due to
costs.
Bernie Hinton officially leaves
his position on January 31, 2000.

It may very well resemble
online f bidding
found at
eBay.com, however the Bree
Tinney Memorial Scholarship
Auction is unlike any other
online auction. Rather than bidding on McDonald's toys or
Beanie Babies, you may instead
f ind yourself placing bids f or
baby-sitters, food, art work, and
a variety of other interesting
items.
The Bree Tinney Memorial
Auction usually raises $1,000 a
year f or the Bree Tinney
Memorial Scholarship—an annual cash award given to an individual who is a Women's Studies
major or minor. The scholarship
i s in honor of Bree Tinney, a
transfer student who was one of
the first Women's Studies majors
at CSUSM. In addition t6 being
one of the pioneering students for
Women's Studies, Tinney also
worked f or the University's
library.
Pat Worden, who has played a
principal role in handling the
Memorial Auction in past years
and in the present, knew Tinney
when she j oined the quilting
group at CSUSM. Worden said
Tinney had transferred to
CSUSM around 1992, but was
diagnosed with breast cancer and
passed away in the fall of 1993.
Joan Gundersen, a past director
of the Women's
Studies
Department, began the Memorial
Auction around 1994. Gundersen
believed Tinney was a f ine
example of a Women's Studies
student and named the Memorial
Scholarship on her behalf.
Pat Worden says that when the
auction first began, the collection
of auction items and bidding
were all done by e-mail. Now,
however, donations and bidding
all take place on the web. "The
thing we work hardest at is
encouraging people to donate for
the auction," says Worden.
"There's always tremendous
enthusiasm f or the items." She
encourages the CSUSM community to send contributions for the
auction so there will be more
items to bid on. "Anyone can
contribute," adds Worden. And
anyone can bid, too.
"What's f un is watching the
bidding wars take place," says
Worden. The bids will be accepted starting Monday, December 6
at
noon
until
Thursday,
December 16 at noon online at:

�DEAR EDITORS:
REACTION TO ALICIA'S LETTER
I am normally not too shaken up by the little organizational setups, rallies, booths, and
so forth that plague our campus and my trek from class to class, but last week I was particularly disturbed. "National Smokeout Day".* ? Pfft,_give me a break!
"Quit smoking for one day." Ha! Quitting for one day would just force you to make it
up the next day, and besides, if you're a young smoker now is the best time to start! I do
empathize for older smokers who are doomed to a life of smoking out of a hole in their
neck, but the newest generation of smokers will not have to suffer the same fate. In ten to
twenty years cybernetic lungs will flood our hospitals reaffirming our faith in nicotine, the
wonder drug. Instead of smear ads, health organizations will be fighting for media airtime
to PROMOTE smoking. They'll want to sell their cybernetic lungs, not only for the tidy
profit, but because these "cyberlungs" will actually IMPROVE respiration.
Metaphorically speaking, we'll be putting our butts out on Mother Nature's poorly crafted
invention.
And to those behind "National Smokeout Day" (PEAS), I will have to humbly decline.
You had your heart in the right place, but perhaps your little rally would be better setup in
a retirement home. Personally,I'd like to be first on the list to get my new cybernetic lung.
They aren't going to give them out to just anyone, you know. Only the hardworking smokers who've made the tobacco industry what it is today will benefit from improved respiration. So go buy a pack, hell, buy a carton, it'll pay off before you know it. Anyway, I've
got a cigarette to smoke.. It's a long smoky road to that "cyberlung," but well worth it. .
I find it very disturbing as a student of this university that people feel the need to point fingers
of blame especially when individuals don't know all of the facts. Students at this university are
.usually very unaware of the occurrences within many of the departments of this campus community, so how can the students blame the administration? As the readers of the PRIDE we
must assume that we are not given all of the information. We know that for the first article
regarding the faucets, we were only given one side of the story. The retraction gave another
side of the story. As adults we can make our own assumptions at that point but we will never
know all of the facts. By bringing this issue up again we are just building on a dead issue. I
think everyone should take this as a learning experience and walk away. Always remember
there are two sides of a story but we will never know the truth because we aren't there to experience it;
Respectfully,
Upset Smoker
DEAR EDITORS:
Recently, I read that World AIDS Day will be celebrated on our small, San Marcos
campus. Speakers will share their stories with students; free condoms and information
will be passed out; panels of the AIDS quilt will be displayed. If World AIDS Day is
being given such a prominent place on our campus, why was Veteran's Day not even mentioned. Some may argue that AIDS is an issue affecting today, a thing of now, that
Veteran's Day does not affect us.
However, Veteran's Day is a day that should be taken seriously. For it is more than just
a federal holiday where mail delivery ceases and government employees take the day off.
i t is a day to remember the hundreds of thousands of brave soldiers who fought and died
valiantly for the freedom that we too often take for granted. As young citizens of this
great country, we need to be reminded of what men and women have gone through to protect what rightfully belongs to every man, woman or child. Freedom comes at great cost.
We need to be reminded how precious freedom is, and how great that cost.
To people who think Veteran's Day is little more than an excuse to take off work, talk to
men like the one I know who still experiences pain from the shrapnel left in his body from
his days in Vietnam; talk to men like Senator John McCain who spent years in enemy prisoner camps; talk to men like my friend's grandfather who stormed the beaches of
Normandy on D-Day, surviving to tell of the hoirific massacre laying before them in the
blood stained sand. That blood is the heroic mark of those who died To dismiss thendeath is a tragedy. Because for every breath lost, every life killed in the ugly reality of
war, the freedom of so many more was ensured. Every man and woman, dead or alive,
who is a veteran of this country's armed services, deserves our utmost honor, dignity, and
respect.
It was wrong and inexcusable for the administration to overlook the importance of
Veteran's Day. It is time to do more than what is politically correct and do what is right.
Joshua Stacey
DEAR EDITORS:
I wish to make a comment
regarding the article on the Great
American Smokeout.
I have great reservations regarding the statistic provided by the
American Cancer Society ACS) on
the death attributed to smoking
whereby it stated that cigarettes
kill more Americans than AIDS,
alcohol, car accidents, drugs and
fires combined. Thirty percent of
the US pollution smokes. Sooner
or later, just like everyone else,
this group of people will die. So I
guess one might say that among
those who died thirty percent
smoked which gave credence to
the ACS statistics.
Don't get me wrong. I think the
Great American Smokeout is for a
good cause. I smoked for over
twenty years and quit cold turkey.
It was not easy. Surprisingly, there
are no known effective programs
for people who wish to quit smoking. Unlike the alcohol and drug
r ehab' programs whereby the
patient is admitted into a clinic for
a week or so under clinical supervision, the stop-smoking programs
available on the other hand consist
o£a lecture, interaction among fellow smokers, and handed a bunch
of anti-smoking pamphlets all in a
day. Then they are left to fend for
themselves - no counseling for
members of the family. Just left to
climb the walls. Its tougher to quit
smoking than to quit drugs or alcohol. No drugs but I was an alcohol
abuser. Where are the treatment
centers?
AYN RAND REVISITED BY CSUSM STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Joel A. Montes
Ayn Rand was a controversial person. Her harshest critics characterized her work as being a
form of philosophical plagiarism, while other critics have claimed her views were not unique,
but instead were a rehash of older philosophical works. These critics have gone so far as to
state that she was nothing less than an insecure female in a male dominated world, thus her
emphasis on "self-interest." Rand's critics would lead people to believe that her followers are
a bunch of insecure crackpots with serious psychological and emotional problems.
Nevertheless, Rand attracted an interesting 'lot' and there still exists a group of followers.
Alan Greenspan was a former "groupie."
.~
A fair assessment of Rand's work would be to say that her writings are an introduction to
philosophy and critical thinking. What strikes me about her quasi-philosophical views is what
I consider a most unique phrase to describe a human being. In her subtle reactionary mode,
Rand says, "The individual is the smallest minority." A profound thought in a society that
emphasizes groups, class, and generalizations! CSUSM's student body and the ICC have carried Rand's view in their administrative authority to disburse student finances by awarding
individual students money to finance their classroom projects. Although it appears like a form
of "nepotism" in that the latest two individuals just happen to be BOD members, it nonetheless provides great opportunities for extreme individualists like myself. Those of you who
walk with only your shadow can, with an academic purpose in mind, receive funding for what
may be unending reasons. For example, if you're short on cash during "rush week" you can
ask the ICC for money to pay for your books. If you have to go on a field trip for a research
paper,-say..:
•
L.A.'s MOCA, you can ask for money to pay for gas, food, admission, and books or articles
relating to the specific exhibition, etc. Maybe you "need" to go to a business conference, but
you can't afford it. ICC will pay for your transportation costs, hotel and incidentals for attending this academic event. What is great about this is that you don't have to waste your time in
meetings.
Ideological differences, are also an unnecessary worry amid the smiling and shaking of
hands. Just go one week before to the ICC meeting to get on the agenda for the following
week tRobert's Rules of Ordet stuff) and state your purpose. The next week, be sure you have
a good presentation, supporting documents to demonstrate the academic relevance of your
request, or receipts for a retroactive fund. "Individuals" should take full advantage of these
resources while they are available, especially if you don't fit into a peg. With student government members giving themselves Christmas bonuses for organizing barbecues throughout the
semester, there is no reason why you should be denied. As long as you keep an academic purpose in mind, and contribute to student government through tuition fees and a future degree
benefiting all of society, you deserve the money.
CSUSM Student Body Government, although a faceless institution, does provide "individuals" an opportunity to contribute to CSUSM diversity which makes them paradoxically
rather unique.
Further, I believe that alcohol is
a much more damaging addiction
than tobacco yet I don't hear of
any sustained, concerted effort by
any group, government or private,
to campaign with equal vigor
against the alcohol industry. On
the contrary they make it so that
drinking seems glamorous, advertising beer as refreshment. One can
get "snockered" with beer as bad
as liquor or wine. By the way, it is
now advertised that drinking wine
is healthy. Try driving down the
freeways after consuming a bottle
of Thunderbird. I don't condone
smoking. I hate smoke specially as
an ex-smoker. However, I have not
heard of any case involving
domestic violence, assaults, or
vehicular accidents, DUIS (driving
under the influence of smoking) as
the direct result of smoking. But
refresh yourself with a six pack of
beer and the outcome could be different.
And where are the millions of
dollars collected from the tobacco
industry for the purpose of curbing
smoking for a healthier lifestyle
ending up? Not only has the skyrocketing cost of cigarette started
an old age profession (smuggling)
but statistically, the levies and
fines produced no significant
result in reducing consumption.
Thirty percent of the population
still smokes. More young adults
smoke now than ever before. The
high cost of cigarettes ($30.00 per
carton) did not discourage smoking. On the other hand, it caused
more financial burden particularly
for multiple smoker families. I
suggest the following; In addition
to education, the moneys generated from the lawsuits against the
tobacco industry should be used to
establish a comprehensive antismoking rehab program, paid by
the health insurance, whereby an
individual who wishes to quit
smoking, is admitted into a clinic
and given treatment and released
with some expectancy of staying
smoke free, plus provided with the
opportunity for follow up.
Further, I suggest that there
should be an equally sustained
campaign, including fines, lawsuits, bad publicity and all against
the use of alcohol. Most alcoholics
are smokers. Cure the alcoholism
and you cure smoking.

\CD Review .
iFatimah Cruz-Young
For those of you who don't like female Hip-Hop artists because
they are either too sexual or too masculine for the eyes and ears, the
new female artist Eve, from the Ruff Ryders Crew, is the perfect
example of a female artist holding her own in the male dominated
Hip-Hop industry. Her debut album Let There Be Eve., covers topics
that any girl growing up in the "hood" can relate to.
She covers everything from being down for your man in "Gotta
Man" to having your girls back in "Love is Blind" and "My B***."
For those of you struggling through hard times and hard choices, her
cut entitled "Heaven Only Knows" will help you see the light at the
end of the tunnel.
A word of caution for those who have sensitive ears and c an't get
past the word "nigga" or foul language, this CD probably isn't for
you. But for those of you who can hear the message despite the
words being used:

Guest Speakers Share: World AIDS Day
Drug and Alcohol

On Wednesday, December 1,
three guest speakers shared their
stories and experiences, commemorating World Aids Day at
CSUSM. Two of the guests
were HIV/AIDS positive, while
the third was a caregiver at two
licensed facilities in North
County.
Many people die or are severely injured as a result of drug and
alcohol related accidents each
year. In an effort to promote
Understanding, Student Health
Services sponsored a Drug and
Alcohol Awareness Seminar
Thursday, December 2 in ACD
102 from 3:00pm - 5:00pm.
Although adults between the
ages of 25-45 represent the
largest population of reported
cases of AIDS in the U.S.,
young adults between 14 and 25
are at the greatest risk of contracting the disease, especially
women. The Peer Education and
Support Program, along with
Health, Counseling and
Disability Services, raised AIDS
awareness on campus with the
presentation.
The event opened with a welcome from Reina Abeyta, a LVN
from the Student Health Center,
and co-coordinator of the day's
event. ASI president Waleed
Delawari then read an emotionstirring poem about a young girl
who had refrained from drinking
at a party, only to be killed by a
drunk driver. The audience listened attentively to the four
speakers who followed.
After further tests, the results
came back HIV positive. She is
not absolutely sure whether or
not she contracted the virus
through the dirty needle.
The second guest speaker
was a middle-aged male
Hispanic who was HTV positive.
He was born in Kansas City,
Missouri, and was raised in
Chicago and Orange County,

called Day Without Art a day of
"conscious confrontation with

many lives cut short by AIDS.
One poster read, "Some people

The magnitude of the loss of art

humanity suffers because of the
dreaded disease. The handouts
also asked viewers to Work

Random Acts of Kindness

The Season
By Victor Mireles
The turkey has been
devoured, the pie eaten, and the
football games played. Now the
Christmas season begins. Yes, I
said the word "CHRISTMAS."
Not "holiday." Slowly over time
we, as a society, have removed
Christmas from our collective
lexicon. The Christmas play or
pageant has long since been
banned. In some schools, candy
canes have been banned as being
religious in nature. People have
"Holiday" parties with
"Holiday" trees and "Holiday"
candy.
This time of year every sign
says "Holiday Savings" or
"Holiday Values." The "Season"
has become one long shopping
binge of the worst kind. The use
of the word Holiday instead of
Christmas for store use is justified by the claim that not all the
population is Christian or about everything in general. In

A Christmas Letter
By Cindy Tagliapietra
This time of year is always
hard for me. Papers are due.
Exams are coming up. The holidays are right around the corner
and money is tight. Several years
ago I read an article in a newspaper with ideas of things to get
those people in your lives that
are close to you. The answer was
simple: love. Write a love letter.
I did just that. I went out and
bought some Christmas station-
e ffirtbe
ary and sat down and wrote 25
things I love and appreciate
about my husband. I did the
same thing for my three children.
After all the presents were
unwrapped that year, I pointed
out to everyone they had one
more gift to open. As my husband read it, I could tell I had
found the perfect gift for him as
his eyes welled up with tears
while reading his letter.. For my
children, it wasn't so evident,
until one day as I was changing
the sheets on my daughter's bed.
Dear Editors:
Colorful chalk drawings
advertising AIDS Awareness
Week greeted me today as I
made that dreadful climb up the
stairs of Mount CSUSM to campus. I was delighted to see that
awareness was being made about
this incurable* deadly disease
and hoped that it would lead to
improved prevention for students. But as I started to
approach the peak of the
Mountain I began to see oddly
shaped ^balloons" tied to the
rails, gleefully swaying in the
morning breeze. Upon closing
examination, condoms. Huh?
The holidays are right around the corner. This year, do something
a little different. Think of those around you who may be going
through a difficult time right now Someone who may have lost a
loved one, someone struggling with a medical condition, someone
who is in the process of looking for or starting a new job. Someone
who is struggling with an addiction or has gone back to school after
many years. Someone who is going through a divorce or break up of
a relationship, someone who is feeling lonely or depressed, someone
who is having financial difficulty. Try practicing Random Acts of
Kindness.
Give someone words of encouragement either verbally or send a
card. They will get the warm fuzzies just knowing someone is thinking of them! Pick up a bouquet of flowers from the grocery store to
perk up someone's day. Unexpectedly buy a friend lunch. Help out
your parents by washing their car, or better yet, fill up their gas tank
without being asked. Give a hug just because. Call or visit someone
you haven't been in touch with for awhile. Give mothers with small
children a break. Open doors for them. Offer to baby-sit free of
charge! Bring cookies to share to work. Tell a professor or teacher
how much you appreciate them, (you could also tell your parents,
spouse, and/or friend the same thing!) Look around at all you have
been blessed with and spread the wealth. You will find that when
you practice little Random Acts of Kindness, it makes you feel better
but it also touches the hearts of those around you.
OUT!" graces the cover.
Something just seemed really
wrong with all this, so I vainly
tried to refresh my memory of
7th grade sex education. This
produced little more than a disturbing image of the live pregnancy video I was shown, so I
gave up to see if the Internet provided any answers.
After a bit of searching a website (http://www.hivdent.org)
gave me the infomation I was
looking for. As it turns out condoms are 90% effective in preventing the transmission of HIV
when used properly. For you
John Q. Math Majors out there
that would leave a 10% chance
that you would contract the
virus. 10%? That's about the
same odds as winning one of
those "under the cap" beverage
games. Which I have won! The
cap, however, still sits on my
shelf awaiting trade in for a pair
of stylish Sprite endorsed sunglasses.
the sheets" game, AIDS is not
something you can just put on
your shelf because you don't
find it particularly useful. It's not
cheesy merchandise; it's an
incurable, deadly disease!
Instead of handing out guns for
students to play sexual Russian
roulette with, something more
practical must be done. How
about both partners being tested
prior to relations? Or what
about. 1 *ga$p*.. abstinence?
While I don't fully endorse the
latter, the former is quite plausible, and I know from experience.
Our society seems to be forming in a way where we try to
dodge the bullet instead of just
not pulling the trigger. I hate to
see condoms endorsed as an HIV
prevention method and I hope
the students of CSUSM will
think ahead and realize that the
trigger need not be pulled.
I made my way to the Dome
to grab a bite to eat and a copy of
the school paper. On my way I
noticed colored chalk animated
with arrows pointing to the
direction of "free condoms."
Apparently if I were to follow
these arrows I would get a "kit"

As I tucked in the sheets, my
hand touched paper. There, I
found underneath her mattress
were my Christmas love letters
stacked neatly with other things
she treasured in her life.
The things you write about
don't have to be earth shattering
accomplishments, but things
like, "I love the way you smile. I
love the way you take the dog
out for a walk without anyone
asking you. I am happy you are a
part of my life." Now, almost ten
years have passed since I started
my tradition and it is the first gift
opened on Christmas Day. I still
tell them how much they are
loved and appreciated. Now, I
also add in highlights of things
they accomplished and even
obstacles they had to overcome
over the past year and point out
how proud I am of them. Since I
have started this, I have spread
the word to my friends and other
relatives. It is the gift that my
best friend and sister request
every year. Last Christmas, I
added something extra with my
letters. I purchased special boxes
for my family to put their love
letters in. In the last couple
years, I have noticed I am now
on the receiving end from my
eldest son and best friend. It is a
wonderful tradition to begin. It is
unique, personal and guaranteed
to be cherished. All it takes is a
little time and love.

Retraction
With profound regret, The Pride announces that the following articles, submitted by Staff Writer Mark Zornes and
accordingly attributed to him in the pages of The Pride during the past semester, were substantially plagiarized:
"Student Flick of the Week: The Astronaut's Wife"
September 7, 1999
Star Wars: Exhibit Attracts World to San Diego"
October 4, 1999
"The Three or Should I say Four Wise Men Deliver"
November 15, 1999
"Pokemania"
November 15, 1999
The Pride apologizes to its readers, to the campus community at large, and to the original authors of these texts. When
the paper published these reviews, the editors and advisor
were unaware of the plagiarism. Indeed, a student paper, like
the campus and thewider academic world, can only operate
on the. assumption that writers are honest and that their work
is their own. The free exchange of ideas depends on this
assumption.

The Faculty Mentoring Program hosted its annual Holiday Dialogue
Gathering Thursday evening, December 2nd, in the Dome. Mentors and proteges assembled to celebrate the season with a catered dinner from El Polio
Loco. Festive activities planned by the FMP staff included a gift exchange and
awards.
;
_
Under the direction of Dr. Vickie Golich, Edward Polhert, and Dr. Elisa
Grant-Velone along with excellent support staff Rose Russell and Olga
Gonzalez, the Faculty Mentoring Program continues to expand the opportunities for first generation college students and those from lower socioeconomic
backgrounds. Sixty-nine faculty members and ninety-one students are currently
involved in the program.
Polhert gave credit to Gonzalez, who joined FMP at for the successful
turnout of the sixth annual event.
FMP offers academic preparation, workshops, and activities that allow students to learn strategies to increase their educational opportunities and complete the goal of graduation. The encouragement from the mentors becomes an
integral part-of the students' academic experience and a valuable resource.

�Poetry Night at the Power Surge

PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Students gathered for a night of poetry on Tuesday,
December 1, at the Power Surge cafe. The night got off
to a late start, and was characterized at first by a definite
lack of people in attendance. But despite the late start,
the evening was definitely a night to remember.
In a matter of a half-hour, the room filled with friends.
At first people took turns reading poems from a book.
Then after a little persuading, Rodrick Frazier sung a
poem. He sang "Lift Every Voice and Sing" by James
Weldon Johnson and later sang another song. His beautiful voice picked up the mood of the night.
Then everything seemed to flow. Angela Oesterle
wrote an amazing poem right there in the coffee house,
and read it for the crowd. Elsa Mejia read Maya
Angelou's famous poem, And Still I Rise. Mbalaka
Monolobo recited a poem in Swahilli and translated the
title: My Twin. Nico Cusimano, a student at Palomar,
writes poetry and just happened to have some of his work
with him that night. Hie audience quickly responded to
the readings he presented. Most of the applause went to
Malika U. Bomani and Rodrick Frazier. They did an
impromptu "skit'' to Destiny Child's song, "Bug a boo."
Another Poetry Night is in the works. Contact
Mbalaka Monololo in the ASI office for information.
A Campus Without GUTS
Mike Spangler
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
The CSUSM Literary Society
does not have GUTS this semester.
The Literary Society does not even
have official recognition as a campus club by the Inter-Club Council
or Associated Students, Inc., said
Barbara Schiffler, one of the few
remaining members of what was
once the CSUSM Literary Society.
GUTS is the Literary Society's
Literary Magazine first published
October 1996. The society was
founded by Denise Lampman, with
the goal of publishing GUTS.
Lampman graduated last May and
the campus has been GUTS^less
since.
"We started in May of '99 with
about 15 people—then when we
were just about ready to print, the
people who were helping me faded
away/' said Schiffler. "The only people left were me and two other people—and all of us are grad students."
It is the lack of available bodies,
Schiffler said, that caused the
Literary Society to lose their charter.
When asked why the Literary
Society was no longer an officially
recognized club, Assistant Director
of Student and Residential Life
Gezai Berhane said, "The Literary
Society has not completed the
rechartering session for this year."
Berhane. said that the Society
failed to satisfy Responsibility 10
outlined in the CSUSM Student and
Residential Life Procedures for ReChartering Clubs and Organizations,
which states "Your club is required
to attend an Annual Student and
Residential Life and Associated
Students, Inc. training of

would like to see the Literary

formed, "There are a lot more ideas
out there that can involve students in
extra-curricular activities."
All of the guidelines and regulations for rechartering a club for the
current academic year, or starting a
new club on campus, are available in
convenient five- and eight-page
packets (respectively) from the
office of Student and Residential
Life in Craven Hall 4116.
One Deer urged clubs wishing to
be recognized, which also makes
them eligible for ICC funding, to
pick up a packet and start planning
for the spring semester now. He said
there will be another ICC meeting in
February 2000, like the one the

club representatives as part of the
chartering process.
"We want to promote leadership
among students while creating campus life," said One Deer.

Has anyone managed to watch Party of Five- s spin-off, Time of Your
Lifel
When Sarah Reeves (Jennifer Love Hewitt) left San Francisco in
search of her dad, the crew of Party of Five thought she would be returning in a week. However, Sarah decided to stay in New York to discover
who she is, without anyone taking care of her. Once on her own, the eternally innocent Sarah does some very unlike-Sarah things. So begins the
Time of Your Life.
There are six central characters on the show. Sarah's roommate, Romy
(Jennifer Garner- Felicity's competition for Noel first season) is an aspiring actress with the hots for J.B. (Diego Serrano), their neighbor who
works as a salon shampooist Cecilia (Pauley Perette) is a student at
NYU, and current superintendent at their building, not to mention a wild
girl.
Maguire is an ex-musician with a jaded view of how the music business works. He's pretty fond of Sarah, and she seems to be pretty fond of
him too. Joss (Gina Ravera) is a close friend of Maguire, and works with
Sarah as a waitress. Finally there is Sarah, who is trying to figure out
who she is, and wants to have a little fun in the process.
There is an obvious attraction between Sarah and the amazingly hot
Maguire, and now since Baliey has broken up with her, Sarah seems
eager to jump into the arms of this sweet-hearted musician. It took
Dawson and Joey an entire season, Mulder and Scully have yet to do it,
and it's anyone's guess when those two from Roswell will get together.
Romy and J.B. have a semi-romance going on. Romy has been staring
into J.B.'s window since she's been there, watching a stream of girls
trickle in and out of his apartment. They are dating now, but apparently
J.B. has a few girls in his past, one in particular that he is still sleeping
with. Joss is a sweet girl that won't let anyone tell her what to do. Her
stubbornness is bound to get her in trouble. She is more than willing to
help Sarah out though, whether she needs a job, or time off from that job.
Time of Your Life is a good show. It moves faster than other dramas,
and Sarah makes mistakes that you can only make when you're twenty,
and with her motley crew of friends, you're sure to like one of the characters. It's an above-average television drama, especially if you liked
Sarah from Party of Five.
Time of Your Life plays on Fox, Mondays at 8:00pm.

�Expanded Dial In Access Lines for

PRIDE STAFF WRITER
On Thursday, December 2,
1999, Computing and Telecommunications introduced EDIAL
(Expanded Dial In Access Line)
for CSUSM students who access
the Internet from their home
computers by dialing into the
campus modem pool. Every student on campus will still have
access to the free dialup access
lines, but now students who need
more than their allotted free
dialup access time for email,
web surfing, or academic
research, will have the option of
paying 30. dollars every six
months for EDIAL and more
time on the network. Students
accessing the campus network
using EDIAL will experience far
fewer busy signals than students
using the free access lines. The
Computing Department has set
the highest of goals for EDIAL;
they want students to have
affordable access to the campus

College of Education Offers
Tlitoring Opportunities
By Katelynn Miller for The Pride
The College of Education currently offers two opportunities for
CSUSM students interested in becoming tutors for elementary and
high school students. The first program, America Reads, is an opportunity for CSUSM students to interact with elementary school children in the local community. This is a federally funded program that
the President initiated in response to poor reading scores in schools.
His vision was to pay college students (who qualify for federal aid) to
tutor young children in local schools who are struggling with reading.
Improving children's reading ability is a top priority now as
research has proven how vital reading ability is for successful learning. EDUC 406A (America Reads) is a class where CSUSM students
explore the reading process, learn about wonderful children's books
and discuss many literacy issues. Tutors decide their own hours for
tutoring, and they meet weekly in class to work together to provide
enriching experiences for children. Students who do not qualify for
financial aid may volunteer their services as America Reads tutors.
The second tutoring opportunity available is for working with high
school students in the program for Advancement Via Individual
Determination, or AVID. This is a college preparatory program for
high school students who might not have sought college as their goal
without the support of AVID. The AVID tutors work side by side
with students to improve their understanding of subjects such as
Biology, Spanish, English, Algebra, etc. Since a variety of students
work in each class, it isn't necessary for each tutor to be an "expert"
in all subject areas, and in fact the EDUC 407 class teaches tutors
how to facilitate groups across the subject areas.
Tutors are paid for tutoring from a State work-study grant that
CSUSM Financial Aid awards students, if eligible. For more information, contact Katelynn Miller at (760) 750-4328, or
lmiller@csusm.edu.

Schustack describes The Man

as one that engagingly reveals
many odd, even bizarre, behaviors resulting from neurological
dysfunctions. With her psychological interest focused on the
study of very complex patterns
of normal cognition and learning, it is apparent why this
book's contents would be of
interest to the professor. But she
suggests, because it reveals the
enormous complexity and interrelatedness of the brain and
behavior, anyone interested in
people will find it rewarding.
Professor Schustack is an
Associate Professor of
Psychology and has been on the
faculty of CSUSM since 1991.
She received her Ph.D. from
Carnegie-Mellon University
after graduating from Princeton
University and completing a
Master's Degree at Yale. Before
joining the faculty here, she was
at Harvard University holding a
research faculty position at
UCSD and later worked as a
research scientist for the U.S.
government. Doctor Schustack
is a cognitive psychologist with
research interests in skilled reading and the development of literacy, reasoning and problem
solving, language learning and
language use, and human-computer interaction. Her current
research focuses on how computer based recreational activities in an after-school setting can
improve children's academic
skills.
�Understanding the CSUSM Mission Statement
Sharon Hambly
PRIDE STAFF W RITER
If you pay very close attention, you can see one wherever
you go. It can be found in fast
food restaurants, donut shops,
government offices, and service
stations. It tells you the "who,
what and how" a business will
provide services to the customer.
For those of you who have not
guessed what it is—it's a mission
statement.
Our university currently has a
mission statement that was written in 1989 by the first CSUSM
President, Bill Stacy, and 12
founding faculty members. Terry
Allison, Assistant to President
Gonzalez, has been assigned to
lead the campus in an effort to
develop a revised campus mission and vision statement to
move the university into the new
millennium. A team consisting of
25 members including faculty,
staff administrators and two stu-
dents chosen by ASI, began this
long and difficult process in early
1999. Two consultants are leading the group, Mark Baldwin
from CSUSM College of
Education, and Bill Chiment,
from the Poway Unified School
District. Both men were chosen
because of their background and
experience in assisting other
schools and agencies in crafting
their values and mission, and
vision statements. Terry Allison
stated that President Gonzalez
believed a Revised Version
would enable the university
administrators and faculty to
establish strategic goals for the
future.
And what does all this mean to
you, the student? .Why should

�"Eggs for Sale"
The Egg Donor Process
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Evelyn Choroser
"Egg Donors Needed - $3,500
Compensation" caught the eye
even of those only browsing the
last few issues of The Pride. Is
the ad legitimate? Who placed it?
What's involved? These are a
few of the questions readers ask.
Four years ago, Susan
Hernandez developed an organization called The Procreative
Egg Donor Program where
young women between 21 and
30 are sought to provide viable
eggs for infertile couples. As
program director, Hernandez
operates out of Temecula and
works with doctors in San Diego.
When a woman responds to the
ad, Hernandez screens her to
determine if she meets the basic
requirements and her interest is
earnest. Passing this interview,
Hernandez forwards an application with an information packet
to the prospective donor and
requests the application be completed and returned with two
photos.
Based on the information provided on the application,
Hernandez begins her process of
matching the prospective donor
with a couple who has been
referred to her by a physician
specializing in infertility. The
couple's preferences are relayed
on a questionnaire completed
earlier. Once the couple chooses
a donor from the possible matches offered by Hernandez, contact
is re-established with the egg
provider to assure continued
interest in the program and that
her commitment is genuine.
Extensive psychological and
medical examinations occur to
verify that the candidate is in
excellent physical and mental
health.
Although she anticipated
maybe one or two donor/couple
matches a month when she began
the business, Hernandez now
coordinates about five. "I'm surprised that there are so many
people with fertility problems.
The experiences they've endured
by the time I'm in contact with
them are heart wrenching,"
Hernandez commented.
Laura Hopkins
According for the Center for
Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), approximately 6.1 million women suffer from infertility in the United States, and
approximately 15% of women of
childbearing age have received
an infertility service. Most cases
of infertility are treated conventionally by either medications or
surgery, but for those women are
still unable to conceive, Assisted
Reproductive Technology (ART)
becomes a possibility for assisting them in becoming pregnant.
She believes she has great
empathy not only for the infertile
couples, but also for the egg
donors because of her own
involvement in the field of infertility. Hernandez delivered twin
boys as a surrogate mother and

currently used to treat a variety
of infertility problems. It
involves the collection of eggs
and sperm from the couple or, in
the case of an infertile woman,
from an egg donor. The eggs and
sperm are placed together in a
laboratory dish to fertilize outside the bfrdy, or in-vitro. The
fertilized eggs are placed into the
woman's uterus several days
later, where implantation can
hopefully occur, just as in a normal pregnancy.
Egg Ethics- an Opinion
Laura Hopkins
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
The ethics of egg donations
are challenged as the bid for
beauty reaches $150,000 at
www.ronsangels.com, a website
dedicated to the sale of human
eggs. The beautiful blonde with
the striking blue eyes (Model 10)
has the highest bid of $150,000 at
Ron Harris' egg auction, while
the other five models hold their
own with bids ranging from
$30,000 to $90,000.
The commerce of beauty is
certainly not a new concept with
billions of dollars each year
being spent on the cosmetic
industry, but Harris crosses an
ambiguous line with his egg auction. He argues for the possibility
of producing "superior children"
and yet states, "It is not our intention to suggest that we make a

For the egg donor, the process
usually begins with an extensive
psychological and physical
screening. Common testing
includes personality assessment
as well as blood tests that screen
the donor for diseases such as
HIV and hepatitis. The donor
undergoes a complete physical
exam, taking into account family
history, to insure optimal wellness. Tests are also performed to
rule out sexually transmitted diseases.
After the eggs are extracted',
they are fertilized in a laboratory
and either implanted into the
recipient or sometimes frozen, in
case the implantation doesn't

implanted two days later into the
recipient's uterus, and nine to

are taken to determine pregnancy!

�[THE]: UCSD Music Ensemble
Victoria B. Segall
PRIDE STAFF W RITER
A musical performance by
[THE] at noon on Monday may
have resulted in a few audience
members scratching their heads
trying to make sense of what
may be described as [THE]'s
"experimental," "avant-garde" or
"d'alba"—a mix of comedic and
musical theatre. [THE], formed
approximately in 1977, is composed of Dr. Edwin Harkins and
Philip Larson, music professors
at UCSD. Professors Edwin
Harkins and Philip Larson
worked together at the Center for
Music Experiment in UCSD in
the 70s and also worked in the
Extended Vocal Techniques
Ensemble. The professors continue to perform for musical
ensembles, like the SONOR
Program of UCSD, and have
toured worldwide from Canada,
to Europe, Japan and
Scandinavia. In addition, [THE]
has more than thirty works in
their repertoire, including music
with John Cage and Anthony
Braxton.
The November 29 performance in ACD 102 began with a
brief lecture by the professors on
musical devices and terms used
in their music. Their shows,
which usually last from one-anda-half to two hours, have included lasers and lights. As a result,
[THE] uses various methods of
communication during their performances. Some of the methods
included syllable exchange, the
"Esperanto language," and
another form of communication
where hats and shoes were
involved to signal specific
actions.
"It's very odd," said Harkins,
referring to their methods of
communication. For example
one of the forms of communication Harkins demonstrated was
ventriloquism. He also disengaged his voice from his word
formations. This action may be
best described as saying a word,
like "hello," without moving
your lips, but five seconds later
mouthing "hello." Harkins' ventriloquism and outgoing disposition resulted in a round of
applause and chuckles from the
audience. "You can have fun
with that kind of out of synchness," commented Harkins. The
duo described how their own
codes and language derive from
"the rhythm of mispronunciation.
After the brief lecture, [THE]
began their musical performance.
The first part consisted of the
duo putting together two tunes,
"Beautiful Dreamer" and
Gershwin's "I've Got Rhythm,"
to create a new piece of their
own. Perhaps the highlight of the
noon performance was when
[THE] performed "Body Parts."
The audience, individuals ranging from confused to engrossed,
had smiling faces, and burst into
laughter as the duo tapped different parts of their body, making
hand gestures, and grunts, sighs,
shouts, and other vocal noises to
a set rhythm. It may be surprising
to discover that this "music" had
a melody, even though their only
instruments were their bodies
and voices. "The sound is something that happens naturally,"
said Harkins.
The professors also told the
audience that they know what
their goals are and where they
are going when they compose
music, but they tell of how there
is also freedom.in their composition. They discussed how there is
a level of abstraction in their
music and that they come from
avant-garde music, but have also
headed in other directions.
[THE] mentioned that their performances bring up many questions from the audience and certain issues may arise that they
may choose to side with or n ot
Harkins and Larson also note
that [THE] is on the borderline of
comedy and tragedy.
At the end of [THE]'s performance, one of the questions
asked by the audience was what
first time viewers should expect
from a [THE] musical performance. Professor Harkins responded, "Something extremely
unusual, yet good." .

Jewel's Joy: A Holiday Collection
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
The soothing sounds of Jewel's voice make the holidays complete. I was pleasantly
surprised by her renditions of "O Holy Night" and "Ave Maria" where Jewel sings
operatically. In contrast, in her playful sounding "Joy to the World" and "Hark the
Herald Angels Sing" her childish voice takes away from the beauty of the music, I
love listening to "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "I Wonder as I Wander"
because it is reminiscent of a 1940's radio commercial where two women sang in harmony.
Joy: A Holiday Collection also includes a medley of the hymn "Go Tell it on The
Mountain," Jewel's "Life Uncommon," and Bette Midler's "From a Distance." The
medley sounds unconnected, and it's obvious that three different songs created the
piece.

GEW-Opinion
By Penny Lanese
There is one fatal flaw with
the General Education
Requirement for Writing
(GEW) program that will ultimately cause the demise of the
California State University San
Marcos code for the writing
requirement and the very foundation that the mission statement stands upon. Even though
the Writing Center requirements may help students succeed in their written communication skills, the requirements
can also cause an otherwise
exceptional student to fail.
The majority of the students
entering the University from
high school do not have the
skill to write academic papers
at a college level curriculum.
The Writing Center is an excellent place for those students to
go and share their ideas with
trained tutors who enjoy literature and want to help. For the
most part, there is nothing
wrong with the relationship
between the student, the course
and the Writing Center.

He turned his life around again

He was sober from 1990 to 1995.
The third guest was a young

Molly has a deep'understanding
for people afflicted with AIDS
since she lost a beloved brother
to the dreadful illness. She said
that both facilities provide care to
a variety of ages and race groups.
In 1990 he began dating a
young female from his AA support group. Just when he thought
that things were going great, his
girlfriend revealed to him that

HIV/AIDS support groups and
travels, lecturing youth about
AIDS awareness.
However, there are students
who fail the GEW requirement, not based upon their
level of academic writing
skills, but rather because of the
lack of attendance to the
Writing Center. Those students
who succeed in academic writing are punished for their talents.
On the other hand, the
University has a reputation and
academic integrity to uphold.
The weekly GEW class length
is only two and one-half hours
long and the one Writing
Center appointment completes
the weekly total of three hours
for "class time."
Completely removing the
Writing Center from the
requirement is a possible
"solution." However, those
who truly need the Writing
Center to improve their writing
will not willingly spend their
free time reviewing their
papers unless it were mandatory. Another "solution" is to
make visits to the Writing
Center a part of a lab section,
instead of an open-ended
appointment system. Taking

The music, mostly in Latin, is sung in the tradition of the early
Roman Catholic Church. Gregorian chant originated during the era of
Pope Gregory I in the sixth century, and much of the original music
continues to this day. The program performed at CSUSM consisted of
two parts, the first derived from the traditional Latin mass and composed of "ordinaries," or hymns written in the style of the
Renaissance, which are sung at every mass. The second part of the
program was in celebration of the season of Advent, the four weeks
preceding Christmas. Chodos said that although the music stems from
a Christian tradition, "it speaks to everyone." He pointed out that the
group members come from three religious backgrounds: Catholicism,
Protestantism, and Judaism. "The music stands on its own outside of
the church setting," Chodos said.
« The lyrics have a profound and solemn nature that transcends the
noise and clutter of our everyday lives. Latin verse tends to have that
mysterious effect on those who don't know the language, but even
translated into English, the lyrics seem to be calling from a distant
plane. "Ask of me, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance
and the utmost parts of the earth as your possession," reads the translation of one of the chants.
^
Chodos spoke of the "body of mysticism" found in the Christian
church, with which many people are unfamiliar, and the reflection of
this music on that tradition. The Gregorian chant, Chodos said,
"speaks to everyone on a deep spiritual level." And it seemed to be
true. From the moment the members of Schola Pacifica filed onto the
stage, until they took their final bow, the audience was given a
glimpse of that mystic tradition, and the result was amazing.
On Campus With State Assemblyman Howard Kaloogian

Fifteen students gathered in
The Dome on Wednesday,
December 1, to hear State
Assemblyman
Howard
Kaloogian air his views on a
variety of subjects. Kaloogian,
who is also the Honorary
Chairman of the CSUSM chapter of the Young Americans for
Freedom, or YAF, addressed the
students at the invitation of the
College Republicans. He was
joined by State Assemblyman
Tony Strickland from Ventura.
Kaloogian stated that
"involvement in government is
down to an all time low" among
college students. He cited the
number of people attending his
address on campus as an indicator that college students are not
interested in politics. "There
should be a great deal of political

money would be better spent on
private education. "For that
amount of money, you'd like to
have the kid be able to read his
diploma when he graduates,"
Kaloogian said.
Although Kaloogian advocates literacy, both he and
Strickland believe that funding
for libraries shouldn't come
from Sacramento. Funding
should come from local governments, Strickland said.
Apparently library funding will
become a dead issue because,
Kaloogian claims, "Libraries
will soon become obsolete
because of the Internet."
Kaloogian, who will be forced
out of his Assembly seat next
November because of term limits, represents the 74th district,
which stretchesfromCarlsbad to
Del Mar on the coast and east to
Escondido. He has endorsed fellow conservative Mason Weaver
as his successor, out of a large
pool of Republican hopefuls.
The 74th district is considered to
be one of the safest Republican
assembly seats in the state. "If
you win the Republican primary,
you can go to Sacramento and
look for a house," Weaver was
quoted as saying in the San
Diego Union Tribune.
One of Kaloogian's goals for
the remainder of his term is to
"convert Social Security into a
program that will be around for
you and me," he said, without
giving specific details. Asked
about his plans after leaving
office, Kaloogian replied that he
"hopes to be working in the
Bush administration."
