'AU Things to All People'
or 'Nothing to Anyone':
The Dilemma of
PeopleSoft at CSUSM
The CSU is spending money, not subsidized by the
state of California, that could be costing students their
faculty and classes
By ALYSSA FINKELSTEIN
Lead Editor
The lack of classes that will
be available next spring is drawing lots of attention from many
students and faculty members.
It has been speculated that the
lack of availability is due to
the statewide budget crisis, but
there is another sieve that the
California Faculty Association
(CFA) claims is draining the
CSU system, not funded by state
allowances. It is being implemented at all CSU campuses
by direction of the Chancellor's
Office, and it's a computer program called PeopleSoft. So far,
CSUSM is remaining on budget
and not showing any signs of
trouble with the implementation, but the project is still far
from finished.
CFA response to the implementation of PeopleSoft
According to the homepage of
the California State University
at calstate.edu, the entire system
is made up of 407,000 students
and 44,000 faculty and staff.
The primary representative of
the faculty in the CSU is the
CFA. In an email circulated to
its members on Nov. 20, the CFA
has issued an "urgent request"
to all CFA members, asking for
any kind of information and/or
evidence about misappropriation of funding of the PeopleSoft project. It says that in a few
months, the "California State
Auditor is scheduled to complete its comprehensive audit
of the CSU's Common Management System (CMS/PeopleSoft)
computer data project."
The message also reports that
the "software has demonstrated
poor performance history at
other U.S. campuses, and that
the project is likely to cost tens
of millions of dollars more than
its original $400 million estimate." While the $400 million
approximation is system-wide,
there are only 23 CSU campuses, which means that if each
university were the same size,
there would be a roughly $17
million average for each school
to pay out of its own funding
- and each campus is expected
to surpass that estimate.
Held at San Jose State University, hearings for a CFA project,
entitled "The Future of CSU,
Reclaiming the University for the
People of California," involved
speeches by powerful union
representatives from around
the state. Pauline Robinson, the
director of the CSU division of
the California State Employees
Association (CSEA) staff union,
expressed her concern about the
PeopleSoft changeover. "What I
think the CSU is missing here is
they don't value the talent that
they have in the system...They
now have another partnership
going.. .It's called CMS or
PeopleSoft... We have Silicon
talented techs in our system, but
their talents aren't recognized.
[The CSU seems] to think that
these people are not economically viable, that they need to
bring in another whole group,
they need to outsource all the
work, or insource our people,
whichever way they're planning
on going...So when you say
where is the future of this CSU,
I really couldn't say, because
there's nothing that we can do
to stop progress, but I still think
that peoples' needs should be
looked at and measured before
you just jump into something,"
Robinson said.
What is PeopleSoft?
According to Bill Welch, an
independent PeopleSoft consultant, "a PeopleSoft project going
way over budget happens about
as often as a Catholic priest getting lucky." PeopleSoft is a computer software company that
created a multi function software package that was meant
to be 'all things to all people,'
according to Welch. He said, "It
is a very large system and has
many components, depending
on [why a company needs it]."
The PeopleSoft programs
for higher education use basically three products. The first
is a Human Resources/ Payroll
Financials package, which
tracks income, expenses, and
assets. The second is a Student
Administration package that

Disorganization or Fraud?
ASI Movie Night: A Disaster for
Edwards Cinema Management
Each Student's $50 Semester Fee for ASI Being Spent
in Part on Questionable Activities
By AMBER ROSSLAND
Pride Staff Writer
On Nov. 21, ASI sponsored
its first free movie night for
students at Edwards Cinemas in
San Marcos, the 9:45 p.m. showing of Eminem's film debut in 8
Mile. Students began to arrive at
6 p.m. and were shocked to find
out that the theater personnel
were unaware of the free ticket
offer for CSUSM students on
that evening.
Problems in Planning and
Organization
San Marcos Edwards Cinema
manager, David Landfield, was
furious to find the entryway
to the theater bombarded and
blocked off by CSUSM students
who were demanding free tickets. "This promotion was not
authorized nor were we notified
of this event," said Landfield. He
further commented that for an
event this size by an organization, it would be necessary for
the organization (ASI) to rent the
theater at a cost of $2,400.
Worried students lined up
outside the doors watching and
listening to the cinema management complain about the situation. The students explained to
theater management that they
had learned of this free movie
promotion through flyers and
e-mail. Grace, an Edwards
employee who was stationed at
the door, pointed out the illegali-
ties of the advertisement that ASI
had produced. Theflyerfeatured
not only a copyrighted film
advertisement that was reprinted
without permission, but the
name of the cinema was printed
without notification and permission as well.
At 8:50 p.m., members of ASI
and their programming board,
who were hired to create community at CSUSM, arrived with
over 100 group activity passes
to purchase tickets at the box
office. The tickets were bought
at this time, and the programming board members who were
buying the tickets were not
even aware of the exact showtime. Furthermore, the flyers
distributed at CSUSM said that
only 50 tickets were going to be
given out to CSUSM students,
however this was not the case,
as there were 100 tickets purchased. When questioned as to
why the programming board
members were purchasing the
extra 50 tickets, they expressed
concerns about riots breaking
out if they denied entrance to
anyone.
Cinema management confronted ASI programming board
members about the chaotic situation. Landfield informed ASI
that he would not exercise the
law and press charges against
the university at this time, however he indicated that this type
of event was never to occur
again without permission of the
theater. He further declared that
the theater would be more than
happy to accommodate future
university-sponsored activities
with proper notice and planning.
ASI Programming Board
Representative Brett Gladys
defended their actions by saying
that they had called the theater
during the previous week and
spoken with an employee, who
had told them that there would
be no problem with holding
the event on the day and time
requested. It was later determined that the employee was not
a member of theater management
and did not have the authority to
permit the event, thus Gladys
had been given incorrect information.
Student Money for NonStudents
While about 18 students said
to have received aflyeror e-mail
for the event, many admitted
to being close friends of ASI
members who had invited them
to the showing. Many students
who had attended in response
toflyersor e-mails made comments regarding the huge
amount of people who showed
up with the ASI programming
board members.
Programming Board and ASI
members began checking school
IDs and handing out tickets
around 8:55 p.m. to students, yet
several students were seen going

Poor organization leading to
more scheduling difficulties
However, along with scheduling
difficulties, Wiener contends
that poor organization has
caused some of the problems as
well. He said, "a basic foreign
language class [was scheduled
during] the first few weeks in
ACD 102, a large lecture hall.
At least a few classes are dangerously overcrowded; one even
had a wheelchair-bound student.
If you are in such an unsafe
classroom, you should report it
to Regina Frasca, Director of
Risk Management and Safety."
In light of this corrected information, there is a newfound
concern among The Pride and
many students regarding the
decision-making of the use of
these classrooms.
CSUSM administrator response
to statistics previously reported
The Pride also heard from Richard Riehl, Executive Director
of Enrollment Services. In an
email sent to Staff Writer Julie
Myres (the author of last week's
article), Riehl said that, "Your
article pointed out the challenges
we face as a rapidly growing
university."
Riehl also pointed out a few

clarifications about the information printed last week. He said
that, "Our enrollment this fall

7,000," and he also clarified that
SDSU is continuing to accepting applications for spring of
2003. The original information
reported last week was based on
various estimated numbers that
were reported by members of the
administration and the CSUSM
website. The SDSU information
was originally gathered from
the Union Tribune, however
an article published in the San
Diego Union Tribune on Friday
December 6,2002 also corrected
the SDSU statistic.
It also turns out that the FTES
numbers were reported incorrectly. Riehl said that, "These
numbers make no sense at all,
although I think I know where
you got them. The 5,066 was
the actual FTES count for last
spring. The 6,627 number was
the headcount for last spring.
We project this spring's FTES
count to be 5,608, with a headcount of 7,337. That represents
a decline from 5,810 FTES and
7,627 in the fall. We stopped
taking admissions applications
for spring earlier than ever in
our history to attempt to bring
enrollment down closer to our
funding level." The information
published earlier was gathered

Editor's Note:
This article is definitely covering
a controversial subject that has
brought attention to students,
faculty, and administration.
Many of the quotes and statements made by lecturers and
faculty members were granted
with complete anonymity in the
original article. One reason
there were errors in actual numbers andfacts is due to the lack
of information openly published
for student use. The Pride found
many sources of information that
contradicted each other and did
its best to get the correct information for the article.
It is apparent that Pride staff
writers are frequently given
incorrect information by staff
and faculty who do not realize
the implications of the information they are distributing. This
has happened several times
during this semester when writers have approached sources
for stories. Correct information
could be more easily reporteddn
the future if faculty and staff as
well as students, try to remember
that The Pride is also growing
(alongside the university) albeit
with only one journalism course
and no program to support it.

�CSUSM Closes Applications for Fall 2003
The popularity of CSUSM continues to grow
By MARTHA SARABIA
Lead Editor
For the third time, the growing popularity of Cal State San
Marcos, shown by the large
number of applications received,
has forced the administration to
stop accepting applications for
the fall of 2003 admission. The
rule applies only to first-time
freshman and to lower division
transfer students with fewer than
60 units. On Thursday, Dec. 5 at
11:59 p.m., applications for these
two prospective groups were
closed, however applications
from upper-division transfer students with 60 units or more and
graduate students are still being
accepted.

ment within our funding."
Despite the closing of the
admission process, Richard
Reihl, executive director of
enrollment services, said that
CSUSM allowed a few extra
days for students wanting to
enroll in this university. "The
deadline allowed for some
flexibility for last-minute applicants," said Riehl, "The open
enrollment period established
by the California State University ended November 30, 2002.
We've allowed a few extra days
as a grace period for those
whose applications might have
been delayed for one reason or
another, but we now must stop
accepting applications because
of our need to manage enroll-
students due to the budget deficit.
"Because of budget uncertainties, we can't predict how much
longer undergraduate applications will be accepted from
transfer students," expressed
Riehl.

5 more than 4,300 applications
had been received from potential freshman students. This

we may have to slow down the
number of new students entering

resources available."
Cal State San Marcos experienced a 17 percent increase
in enrollment for the 2002-03
academic year, and it is currently
struggling to balance its funding
with its teaching and service
obligations. Furthermore, with
the prospect of reductions in
state allocations for the 20032004 academic year, the campus
has started to adopt a cautious
approach to admissions, which
might leave many prospective
students out of the university.

during the fiscal year 2000/2001
(sometime between July 1, 2000
and June 30, 2001). Cal State
San Marcos has chosen a phased
implementation approach, meaning that, "as modules [of the
program] are phased in, we are
training our staff."
According to Veres, all campuses of the CSU are aiming to
"complete implementation of the
[Human Resources], Finance,
and Student modules of PeopleSoft by 2006. We are on schedule to meet that commitment."
Contrary to CFA accusations
that the CSU campuses are
outsourcing talent, Veres has
been an employee of CSUSM
since 1992, and he says that all
members of the CSUSM CMS/
PeopleSoft implementation team
are employees of the university.
However, he admitted that "we
do contract with some consultants but only for very short
periods of time - 1-3 days at a
time - and only when we need
help through some functional or
technical detail."
The CSUSM website has a link
for the invoicing of PeopleSoft
trainingathttp://cms.calstate.edu/
T4tiSanMarcos.asp, but it cannot
be opened by anyone without
a password. Employees are not
issued passwords until they have
completed the training required
by the program. Needless to say,
very few people on the CSUSM
campus actually have access to
this information.

Dr. Norm Nicholson, dean

campus technology achievements.
Dr. Nicholson immigrated
to America from Scotland at

After his career in aerospace, his interests shifted

even become the email service provider for the new
Channel Islands campus.
With over 2,000 computers networked together at
CSUSM, wireless access
and new computers, it has
become one of the leading technology schools in
Southern California.
Norm says he is confident
in his staff and believes
the school will be in good
hands. He explains, "I'm
leaving the university in
very good shape!'
Nicholson described why
he decided to leave CSUSM.
"I've worked long enough.
I've spent 9 years here, and
a whole career of 30 some
years before that in other
places. I just decided now
it's time I can afford to. Its
time to find out if there's

His interest in Cal State

discovered that many older
schools were shutting doors
on innovative thinkers and

Their latest album, entitled "Riot

of success, landing them their
last tour with 'Jimmy Eat World'
back in October.
"No Knife's" latest tour with
'Jimmy Eat World' gave the band
a chance to play some songs
from their new album, and also
gave Desjean a chance to not
attend school for a few weeks.
About the challenge of going on
a tour and attending school at the
same time, he said, "I was a parttime student at Palomar when
we toured extensively. Now that
I am at Cal State it's all about

Goodwall makes is "why don't
we consider chimpanzees human
beings?" Another question is
"what differences are there
really between human beings

no doubt that chimpanzees walk
on their hands as opposed to
humans, showing a difference
between the two.
However,
Goodwall points out that the
differences among humans and
chimps are minimal.
In the past, the true distinguishing point between humans
and chimps has been the notion
that human beings can reason
and pass down knowledge to
their children—this assumption
no longer exists in the realm
of understanding. Goodwall
discovered that chimpanzees
have learned to make tools with
which to hunt their prey, such as
ants. This knowledge of hunting,
chimpanzees have passed down
from their mothers during the
seven years where baby chimps
need emotional and physical nurture from their parents, similar
to children's development with
their mothers. This reasoning
and passage of knowledge therefore disqualifies the main assertion that chimpanzees cannot
reason or teach baby chimps.
With regard to whether people
should consider chimpanzees a
species of human beings, Goodwall stands firm in saying that
chimps are closely related to, or
even actually are, human beings.
The research can be used to
study the evolution of human
beings, because the chimps
may be the best example of how
human beings in fact evolved

Some stories had him wearing a
purple or blue suit, and other stories
called him an elf. In the 1930's,
Coca Cola officially hired Santa
Clause as one of their spokespersons. Coca Cola standardized Santa
Clause as the Santa that we know
today, sporting the traditional red
and white company colors. Many of
the stories that came about from this
bishop were based on legends and
mythical creatures.
One legend, which is known, is
that he carried around a bag-full of
toys and rode on a flying sled that
was pulled by reindeer. In 1822
Clemente Moore wrote a series of
poems and named all the reindeer
that pulled the sled. Although
Rudolph was not one of the eight
original reindeer that Moore
described, he was the most popular.
Rudolph was merely a byproduct of
the advertising genius of Montgomery Wards, which was in turn created by Robert May.
Advertising plays a major role in
our life by shaping our beliefs and
traditions. Many times it is hard to
tell whether an event from the past
really happened or not, because of
the fact that second hand information can be twisted around so much.
So next time when a child looks at
you with their big brown eyes and
asks you the question I asked in the
beginning of the article, think about
the ramifications it could have if a
child does not have hope.

�I have quit smoking now for
seven years. It was one of the
hardest things I ever did in my
life. When I was a smoker we
were able to still smoke everywhere. I did. I didn't blow smoke
in people's faces but I did smoke
in buildings. I quit smoking while
attending a junior college. Our
college was putting into effect a
smoke free campus. I was even
on the committee. I fought hard
for smoker's rights. One thing did
come out of it, designated smoking areas. These areas were away
from the people traffic, most
of them were in parking areas.
Smokers complained at first,
but were great after a while. The
only problem we were having
was who was going to be the
'cops'. I know they have solved
the problem by now though. But
now for CSUSM, the smokers
definitely need to get away from
the doors and hall ways. The
smoke is quite disturbing. I also
hold by breath when walking by
these students. I am an asthmatic
and the smoke does irritate my
lungs. BUT, CSUSM needs to
put the ashtrays away from the
buildings. They need to be in
open areas. When it rains, we
all have umbrellas. To smokers:
Please stay away from the buildings and the enclosed walkways.
Smoke in open areas and try
to quit. It will save your life.
I watched my mother and her
husband die because of smoking
and it was a very ugly sight. I was
not ready to quit at the time but it
wasn't much longer before I did.
Our campus has many resources
when you are ready to quit.

What is disturbing is that these changes

Pastorela
According to Rick Moore's
latest "In the Loop" electronic campus news wire,
he states that our publicly
funded university is going
to play host to Pastorela: a
traditional Mexican holiday.
This original Spanish production brings together Cal
State San Marcos students
and community members
in a festive presentation of a
traditional Mexican nativity story. I have a hard time
understanding why and
how this religious "production" that has its roots in
Christianity, can actually
be allowed to be presented
on campus. Is it because its
organizers thought that it is
harmless? A fter all, aren't
they just "getting in the spirit
of Christmas?" Doesn't this _
production promote a religious myth that without publicly funded facilities, would
hopefully be relegated or
limited to being shown in a
church rather than the academy??

that the preschool will become

Cal State San Marcos Is Experiencing Major Growing Pains!

Major questions surface on campus as students rush to register for Spring 2003 classes.
fair to other students. Why don't
they open school for winter and
summer sessions for the classes
that are harder to get during the
regular semester?"
By JULIE MYRES
Pride Staff Writer
Cal State University San
Marcos is a growing school.
The projected growth for the
future is to be as big a campus
as UCLA. This idea is very
feasible, considering the fact
that CSUSM has more land
than SDSU, which houses over
33,000 students to date. CSUSM
currently has just fewer than
7,000 students enrolled for the
Fall 2002 semester and the
expected enrollment for Spring
2003 is even more; one of the
reasons is because SDSU is not
accepting any new students for
Spring 2003. Many argue that
CSUSM does not offer enough
classes for the current students,
yet they expect to eventually
enroll upwards of a prospective
35,000 students.
Students preparing for next
semester by registering on-line
or on campus are encountering many difficulties when they
attempt to design a schedule that
will fit their needs, due t o their
appointment date or lack of class
availability. Priority registration for continuing matriculated
students began Nov. 4th and will
continue until Dec. 6th for Spring
2003, via SMART Web or by
phone.

complain that the classes they

during the day when they are at

high technology managementbusiness administration major,
said, "This is my third semester

Others comment that there are
just not enough sections available for the required classes to be

Putheary Sin, a junior communication major, expressed, "Not
being able to get needed classes

graduation and it's not fair.
CSUSM has to figure out a way
to tone down or even eliminate
this problem if at all possible. Of
course, I realize that no solution
can satisfy every student, but if
improvements are made students
would be a lot happier on campus
around registration period."
Jeff Bottger, a senior as of

Grad
Reception
By MELISSA REED
Pride Staff Writer
In honor of all the students
who will be graduating this
semester, there will be a Fall
Graduation Reception held
on Friday, December 13. The
ceremony will take place in a
tented area from 6:00 - 8:00
p.m. outside in Chavez Plaza,
which is in front of the new
Visual and Performing Arts
Building.
Speakers at the reception
will include CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez,
Dr. Francine Martinez and
ASI president Jocelyn Brown.
Although there is no dress
code for this event, attendees are encouraged to dress
smart-casual.
Last year was the first year
that this event took place,
and it was said to have been
very nice. There will also be
refreshments to aid in the
festivities. Because seating is
limited, if graduates are planning on attending they should
let the Office of Student
Affairs office know as soon as
possible. Guests of graduates
should be limited to no more
than four people.
Because the specific names
of the graduates will not be
called at this ceremony, graduates are encouraged to come
participate in the traditional
May 17th graduation at the Del
Mar Fairgrounds
For students having any
additional questions, please
call the Office of Student
A ffairs at 750-4056.

ASI Programming Board Gives Coffee To Students That Is Also Fair To Farmers

What Exactly Is Fair Trade
Coffee?
Brett Gladys, a member of the
programming board and one of
the students handing out coffee
explained that, "Fair Trade guarantees that coffee growers and
farmers were paid a fair price
regardless of the market." Gladys
added that, "Fair Trade coffee is
also produced without pesticides
and forests aren't slashed and
burned to grow it." Noah Smith,
also a programming board
member, explained the coffee is
purchased from "People's Co-op
in Ocean Beach." An organization that according to Smith
"promotes both organically
grown and vegetarian products."

not work; next semester I was
hoping to get an internship, but
with my class schedule across
the board time wise, it may not
be an option."
Starting with registration for
Spring 2003 semester, a new
policy by the administration
notifies students of their registration date by campus email only.
Many students are frustrated
with the priority registration
dates, because they do not really
give them priority service.
Kadah added, "For example,
HTM 426 is a popular class
among Business majors and
there is only one section being
offered for the Spring 2003
semester. The class was filled
and closed long before my priority registration date came, thus,
giving me no chance i t getting
into the class with no other sections offered. This class is very
important for my major and the
other electives do not fill my
needs. By the time my priority
registration time came, it was
useless, because there were only
two electives classes available."
Kadah is still trying to get a
response from administration,
but does not have much hope of
getting registered and will try
crashing the classes at the beginAccording to an article in the

What many students do not realize, said Dorado, is that financial
aid can be applied to programs
abroad.
Plus, like program
duration and destination, price
is highly variable and can range
from tens of thousands of dollars
to mere hundreds.
Associate Director of the
Financial Aid and Scholarship Office Gerrie Hatten gave
this advice to potential study
abroad candidates: "Students
need to take responsibility for
making sure that all the needed
paperwork and processes are
completed. in a timely manner.
They need to plan ahead and be
realistic about the cost of the programs, the types and amounts of
financial aid that can be used and
how much of their own resources
are available and to make decisions based on all those components."
Vicky Segall, a CSUSM senior
double majoring in Literature
and Spanish, spent last summer
studying and traveling in Spain.
Segall used her "Cal-Vet aid"
to help cover tuition costs, and
so found herself with only the
plane ticket and spending money
as what she recalls were "the big
things I had to worry about."
Davis interprets the overall
costs as fairly insignificant. She
claims, "It doesn't cost that much
more to study abroad for a year
compared to living in San Diego
and going to CSUSM for one
year."
If students missed the informational meetings this semester

First Annual Frisbee Competition

Friday Nov. 22nd marked the
First Annual Frisbee competition from 1 to 3 p.m. at Forum
Field in the Chavez Plaza. The
competition, which was open
for all clubs who wished to sign
up, involved only four teams,
consisting of: APSS (Asian
Pacific Student Society), PAN
(Progressive Activist Network),
Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Alpha
Chi Omega. The games were
hosted and refereed by CSUSM
student John Gehris and orga-
For those interested in playing, it does look like a bit of
work and physical exhaustion.
The rules of the game involve
the two teams of five getting an
unlimited number of throws, but
the teammate with the frisbee
can only hold the frisbee for 10
seconds at a time. If the frisbee
is dropped or a pass is incomplete, the frisbee changes sides,
and a player cannot run with the
frisbee. A goal is scored when a
catch is made in the end zone.
The first match of the day
involved APSS vs. PAN, where
PAN came out with a devastating
victory of 6 to 3. Skilled passes
and absolute confidence in teammates seemed to be the deciding
factor in the match. The second
match was a blowout, with Sigma
Alpha Epsilon destroying Alpha
Chi Omega 6-0. Alpha Chi
Omega's strong point certainly is
not head to head frisbee, as they
struggled to even put a single
point on the board.
With only a brief intermission for the teams to catch their
breath, the final match was
underway. Jumping to an early
lead in the final game, Sigma
Alpha Epsilon went up early
with a series of scores giving
them a 5-0 lead. In the fashion
of all great athletes and teams,
PAN refused to give in. Really
pulling themselves together,
PAN jumped back into the game
quickly scoring a remarkable 4
points in under 6 minutes. Even
though it was a great attempt
at a comeback, it just was not
enough, as they lost 8-4. Sigma
Alpha Epsilon won the first
annual frisbee competition.
Each member of the Sigma
Alpha Epsilon team won five $20
cougar cards and a handsome
22" tall trophy that read "Superior Disc Handlers". Even with a
small t urn out, the event seemed
to be a success, and the audience
enjoyed themselves. If any student is interested about competing in f uture frisbee tournaments

If you enjoy biographies or
historical period films that are
well written and conceptualized
by a talented group of actors,
this is the film for you. Directed
by Julie Taymor, Frida is the
true story of the ever-tormented
painter Frida Kahlo, played by
Salma Hayek. From Kahlo's
unfortunate accident in her
youth to her most joyous days
and a bittersweet departure, the
movie depicts the life of one of
Mexico's most talented,artists.
The film chronicles Frida's
turbulent love affair with husband and fellow artist, Diego
Rivera, played by Alfred
Molina. Frida is a romantic's
oasis. In between fits of infidelity, alcoholism, homosexuality
and drug abuse, Taymor manages to show how even the most

ASI's "Take a Break Tuesday": A Punch Of Fun
By MATT VARELA

Associated Students, Inc.
(ASI) knocked around Founders' Plaza on Tuesday, November 19th from 11:00 a.m. to 3:
00 p.m. for its continuing "Take
a Break Tuesday" events. For
this month's entertainment, big
glove boxing was available for
students .on a break or walking
to their next class who were
willing to take punches from
some giant boxing gloves.
Valerie Cuevas, ASI Coordinator of Student Programs and
Services, CSUSM student John
Gehris, and ASI President Jocelyn Brown encouraged students
to take their turn in the inflatable
ring. Many of the students walking by decided to kick off their
shoes and wait in line to jump in
the ring. The enormous inflated
boxing ring was set right next to
Academic Hall and offered many
students who were walking by
a chance to release some of the
stress caused by their exams and
research papers.
The clear blue skies and warm
weather brought many students
outside to watch fellow students
bounce around like Sugar Ray
Leonard while throwing punches
at each other. With music blaring
and bullhorn calls summoning
the next victims, the ASI team
enthusiastically haggled students
to hop in the ring and throw a
few blows. Some students were
seen tossing the giant gloves
aside and performing their favorite WWF moves on one another.
"Let's get our professors in the
ring," a student yelled while
being tossed to the other side of
the ring. Another student waiting for his turn also said, "I like
how ASI brings f un to campus, it
helps make being on campus all
day a little more interesting."
Approximately every third
Tuesday of the month, ASI
brings entertainment to Founder's Plaza. For last month's f un,
ASI featured a giant inflatable
batting cage.
"With activities like the big
glove boxing, inflatable batting cage, and human bowling,
which is next month, we try to
bring some f un to campus," said
Cuevas. If students are curious
about the details of the next event
or where it will be held, they are
encouraged to keep an eye on
their e-mail and on Founder's
Plaza for upcoming activities.

The National Latino Research
Center (NLRC) received funding
from The California Endowment
to fight asthma in school-aged
children. The $352,297 award
is designed to provide technical
assistance to asthma coalitions in
San Diego and Imperial Counties
that are working as part of the
statewide Community Action to

Gerardo Gonzalez, director of
the NLRC and CSUSM professor of psychology, said, "This is
an excellent opportunity for the
NLRC and Cal State San Marcos
to strengthen partnerships in the
San Diego and Imperial Valley
regions." He added, "In collaboration with community coalitions
and the California Endowment,
we hope to contribute to the
prevention of community-wide
health problems, such as asthma
in children."
CAFA supports 12 community-based
partnerships
across California and is the
second phase of The California
Endowment's asthma programs.
It is also a $12 million, threeyear statewide program that
addresses the multiple environmental triggers of asthma
among school-aged children

or outdoor environments contain asthma triggers that can
cause an attack," said Robert K.

and rural areas. Also, nearly 3

asthma symptoms. Asthma is a
chronic disease that often begins
in childhood and is the number

The overarching goal of the
California Endowment's asthma
initiative is to reduce health disparities and improve the quality

Californians. Their mission is
to expand access to affordable,

�A (Not So) Funny Thing Happened to Me in the Computer Lab...
By JENNIFER JARRELL
Pride Staff Writer
For the past three semesters,
I've been an avid user of the
computers in the computer lab
here at San Marcos. When I
load "My Personal Settings,"
I've been saving the work I do
in places like: My Documents,
H: drive, and the desktop with
no problems whatsoever. So
when the- computer loads "My
Personal Settings," I feel safe to
save my work in places that are
labeled "My Documents." Why
else would it be labeled "My
Documents" if I couldn't save
work there?
Well... one day about two
weeks ago, I saved somei work to
"My Documents," logged off the
computer, and went to the Dome
for lunch. When I returned,
my work had mysteriously vanished. I frantically searched and
searched for it everywhere oil
the computer, but there were no
traces of it. I began to secondguess myself that maybe I didn't
log off correctly, and someone
else had accidentally erased it.
So I went home to retype all my
work (thank God I had written
my essays by hand first on notebook paper).
fluke, I typed another paper in
the lab, but this time I was going
to save it to my zip disk. When
I looked in my bag for my disk,
I realized that I had forgotten it
at home. I saved my paper to the
desktop (again, like I have been
for three semesters now,) logged
off the computer, and went to the
student store to buy a new disk.
When I came back to the lab and
logged back on, my paper was
GONE! I asked the lab people
(student computer helpers) how
this could've happened since I've
been saving on the desktop all
semester.
One of the lab people told
me that there was a new policy
implemented where, as of two
weeks ago, students cannot save
on the desktop or to "My Documents" anymore or their work
will be erased with no possibility
of retrieval. The logical, pragmatic side of me wanted to ask,
"Why wouldn't the lab people
put signs up EVERYWHERE
letting students know about
this "new thing?" Instead, I
walked swiftly out of the lab
and went straight home to redo
my assignment, this time starting from scratch because I had
not pre-written my work in my
notebook.
in charge" of what goes on in the
labs. Instructional Computing
Labs Coordinator Mary Atkins
had this to say about the computer lab. "In the Instructional
Computing labs, because these
are public machines, we only
allow students to save on their
own space: the H: space, a ZIP
diskette, or a floppy diskette.
This has been our policy for the
last 10 years. It would be impossible to maintain the machines, if
we allowed the students to save
to the C: drive." She continued
to say, "I am sorry that there has
been some misunderstanding
about where you can save a file.
Once you log off any machine, it
reverts back to a standard "clean"
slate for the next student. The
ONLY safe place to save a file is
the H: space, a floppy diskette, a
ZIP diskette, or a CD."
But that's not what Systems
Integration Specialist William
D. Craig told me. He stated,
"Each student at CSUSM is
allowed 50MB of storage space
on a fileserver that is automatically connected at login. The
only reason a student should run
into a problem saving a file to
the desktop or anywhere else on
the h: drive is when the student
is near or over his or her quota.
In those instances, a popup mesA fter thinking that the whole
After that second incident, I sage should appear alerting thefrustrating incident was just a decided to email some "people student that the file cannot be
saved because the quota has been
reached." He added helpfully,
"If you lost a file that you had
saved to your desktop, I'd really
like to work with you to find out
what went wrong, because it certainly shouldn't happen. There
may be an incorrect setting in
your account profile. Please call
or stop by at your convenience so
we can look into this problemi"
So what I want to know is,
basically, where am I allowed
to save my work? I feel that the
second half of the semester is a
bad time for students' work to be
disappearing. I'm not thè only
one this has happened to. There's
been a buzz around campus that
students have been losing their
files in circumstances similar to
mine. Because of this episode,
I will be especially safe to make
two copies of everything I do,
and I guess I've learned that the
hard way. But I still feel that
It would be best for students to
know what's going on before
they feel safe to save files just
anywhere on the computer.
unless absolutely critical. We
certainly do everything we can
to minimize the risk t o students'
data. If we did rn^ke a change
regarding something that would
impact most students, like
making the desktop "off-limits,"
we would certainly do so in a
way that would not result in the
loss of files, and only after giving
ample notice to the campus community beforehand."
Mr. Craig told me that this
whole incident was a glitch, and
will be dealt with. I certainly
.hope so, because this is the most
critical point in the semester, and
students should feel safe when
using the computer lab. Since
it seems there are two very different opinions regarding saving
files in the lab, I would just like
to know which one Cal State students can trust to be true.
Lastly, Mr. Craig stated, "I
want to say that our department

Veterans' Day Celebration:
By GAIL TARANTINO
Pride Staff Writer
The CSUSM Veterans Association, lead by president Gary
Taylor, United States Army
(Ret.), held a celebration on
campus Monday, Nov. 11,
honoring all veterans and commemorating the 227th birthday
of the Marine Corps.
Ceremony Events
Taylor spoke briefly about the
origin of Veterans' Day including how, in 1921, it was originally called Armistice Day to
celebrate the end of WWI arid
to pay tribute to the Unknown
Soldier. In 1954, in order to
honor all those whov served in
American wars, then-President
Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a
bill proclaiming November 11th
as Veterans' Day.
Throughout the ceremony,
two protestors sat off to
one side. CSUSM student
and army veteran Shawn
Harris was protesting the
ceremony and had upset
some audience members,
Harris was holding a sign
that said, "rebuild America,

and "read the foreign press"
on the other side. When
asked Harris said, "this
university should not be
allowed to become a forum

said, "not a military base."

More than 800 veterans attend
classes at CSUSM and there
are approximately 30 veterans on the faculty and staff.
According to Taylor, part of the

ByRIA CUSTODIO
Arts Editor
Dr. Reed began his presentation by emphasizing, "Every
resident should have access
to higher education with out
financial constraint...It's a basic
social right."
On Wednesday, Nov. 13, at
Cal State San Marcos (CSUSM)
Dr. Adolph Reed Jr., professor of
political science at New School
University and award winner of
the "Scholar of Vision," spoke of
a call to action that could provide
no-cost access to higher education for eligible students. This
was a call to ignite the grassroots campaign sponsored by the
Labor Party at the Labor Party
Convention and Conference in
Washington, DC in July 2002.
Spring

enrollment
opened this November, and large
student loans and debt accumulate within each class credit. A
college degree can offer stability by securing more choices.
Government education statistics
prove that higher education gives
people a chance to build a better
life for themselves^ Therefore
by following the Labor Party's
guidelines, higher education at
no-cost greatly increases social
opportunities.
CSUSM is one of many campuses that Dr. Reed will visit in
his attempts to spark enthusiasm
for developing a significant consensus for the Labor Party issues
on "Free Higher Education." He
wants students, faculty, and the
community to gain an increased
awareness of the need for no-cost
mere pennies at over $23 billion
compared to the massive annual
federal budget. Allocation of
government funds, without the
increase of taxes, allows the
government to divert corporate
tax breaks to support the growing need for free post-secondary
institutions. Dr. Reed implied
that the free tuition policy covers
two percent of the annual federal
budget and is easily incorporated
into the trillions of dollars going
to corporations, airline bailouts,
and government spending.
As a staunch supporter of the
Labor Party, Dr. Reed spoke of
the imperativeness for residents
to access higher education while
revitalizing public institutions
with marginal, implemental
costs. "Free higher education
doesn't cost a lot of money and
The campaign on "Free you get a big bang for your

The DJDI quoted, "...report also
found that each dollar spent educating that 40 percent alone produced a $6.90 return in national
output due to extra education and
increased Federal tax revenues
for the extra income the beneficiaries earned."
The free tuition campaign
applies similar, progressive strategies as the military G.I. Bill,
also known as the Servicemen's
Readjustment Act of 1944. After
World War I, the G.I. Bill allowed
veterans coming back from the
war to attend college. The Federal Veteran's Administration
(VA) said that this bill has had
more impact on the American
way of life than any law. The VA
also said that President Franklin
D. Roosevelt signed the bill in
order to motivate a desire to
"spare the veteran and the nation
the economic hardships that
accompanied the return." The
free higher education campaign
is similar to the G.I. Bill because
it establishes the same fundamental principle in a broader sense.
Free
higher
education allocates
funds to the larger
population rather than
small segment.
Free higher education provides
access to post-secondary institutions and affects the need for a
higher level of education offered.
The campaign stresses people
taking local initiative to build
solidarity for success through
word of mouth and understanding the urgency to create a
system for social reform of the
polarization of higher education.
By slowly building relationships
with action, a diverse activism is
created by revealing the need to
depolarize colleges and Universities said Reed.
To close the campaign, Dr.
Reed, who heads Debs-JonesDouglass Institute in New York,
implored, "Nothing is more
effective than building personal
relationships.. .building fundamental solidarities...Like you
say.. .share the vision."

Academic excellence in the

The Wang

was estab-

Trustee Stanley T. Wang gave the
CSU system $1 million to reward
outstanding faculty and administrators. The award is designed
to celebrate those CSU faculty
and administrators who through
extraordinary commitment and
dedication have distinguished
themselves by exemplary contributions and achievements in their
academic disciplines and areas of

Searching for Mentors
Mentoring: A Possitive Experience for College Students
By STEVEN ZAMORA
Opinion Editor
To be a mentor is to have
an opportunity to impact various students who are neèd of
academic help. Joan Helms,
associate under the Wellness
Department within the Poway
Unified School District, along
with the Poway Unified School
District itself, will argue for more
mentors, in order to positively
impact their students as much
as possible. They are looking for
college students to be the mentors for their students.
General Colin L. Powell (Ret.),
Chairman of America's Promise
and Secretary of State, talks
about "Commitment makers,"
which are some individuals or
organizations trying to make a
difference by pledging their time,
treasures, and resources towards
helping our youth, is referencing,
through Helm's interpretation,
the role that mentors plays in
the education process. Mentors
are "commitment makers," says
Helms. They pledge their time,
treasures, being their education,
and resources, college and experience, to help the nation's youth
succeed in school.
Helms is offering college
students who can spend an
hour every week throughout the
remainder of the school year
a chance to be "commitment
makers."
Mentoring is a positive process
that allows the mentors, as well
as their protégés, a chance to gain
from their experience together.
Helms commented, "Over 98
percent of mentored students
said they have benefitedfromthe
program by increased academic
achievement, improved self-
confidence, increased attendance
at school, improved attitudes
and improved self-control. In
addition, mentors are sometimes
credited with helping students
to stay away from drugs and
alcohol."

Make Impossible Pumpkin Pie
By RACHEL FRANKLE
For The Pride
Thanksgiving is a special time
of year to spend with friends
and loved ones. This American
tradition is filled with family,
pictures, memories, prayers,
gratitude, and hope. Holiday
spirit fills the air as we all long
to make precious memories that
will stay with us for our entire
lives. Christmas is right around
the corner and the New Year is
following close in second. But
everything starts with a lavish
spread of Thanksgiving food
including: mashed potatoes,
yams, turkey, stuffing, gravy,
and cranberry sauce. Lastly, we
eat dessert. Dessert ia the final
food that we enjoy on this holiday. I challenge you to* make it
special and try out this recipe for
"Impossible Pumpkin Pie." My
mother discovered this recipe
years ago on a Bisquick box. It
has become a cherished favorite
of our family for years and it can
be yours, too. Many people enjoy
the holiday rich foods, but also
worry about the pounds it tends
to add. With this recipe, you can
enjoy the food and your trim
body all at the same time. Just
follow these simple instructions
and be prepared to take a savory
bite launching you into the holiday spirit.

sert. One great aspect about this
pumpkin pie is it makes its own
crust. That makes the pie not
only less filling, but also lower
in fat than a typical pumpkin
pie. You know what that means,
ladies? No more post holiday
starving and binge workouts!
My mother comments: "You
will not believe how simple it is
to make this pumpkin pie. It is
less costly, lower in fat, and most
importantly, it tastes great." Take
my mother's advice and try out
this recipe. You will not regret it
and neither will your waist line.

all the time in the world to cook
so this is good for everyone. But
before you can start you will first
need to get some ingredients
from the store.
2 Large jars of marinated artichoke hearts
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup mayonnaise
After you # have collected all
your ingredients you are ready
to begin. The first thing you
will need to do is set your oven
to 350 degrees. Drain and chop
all artichoke hearts. Then put all
your ingredients in a 9" by 13"
glass pan and mix. Bake at 350
degrees for a good 20 to 25 minutes. Pull the pan out and allow
it to cool. Do not forget to turn
your oven off. Serve with crackers or tortilla chips. If you are
taking it on the road or to a house
nearby, store it in something that
will keep it warm. A nice carrying bag with a heating pad will
work just fine.
Your guests will be so
impressed by the dish that they
will think you slaved over the
stove for hours, but I guess what
they don't know won't kill them.
Andrew's Apple Pumpkin Pie

The Best of Both Worlds here

its way whether we like it or not.
Thanksgiving is going to be here

be here before we know it. Before
we get too far ahead of ourselves
with the joy of Christmas let's not
skip over all the incredible food
that comes along with Thanksgiving.
The aroma of the turkey is
overwhelming. The moist stuffing and the buttery mashed
potatoes sit heaped up in bowls
on the table filled with cranberry
sauce, biscuits, yams, and countless other sides. A must have for
everyone's Thanksgiving is a pie
of some sort. The most popular
pies seem to be apple and pumpkin. Wouldn't it be great to combine both of those flavors into
one pie? Well, we are going to
do just that, and for all you cheap in Valley Center that makes the

Dream of a World Unlike Dreamworlds
By JENNIFER AGEE
Pride Staff Writer
Disgust festering into rage...
cold chills and a clenched j aw...
a stomach as tight as every
muscle in your body... These
are just a few of some viewer's
reactions likely to be generated
by watching the film Dreamworlds: Gender/Sex/Power in
Rock Video.
The effects of viewing this
55 -minute film are far-reaching
and long lasting. Dreamworlds,
a 'simple' media criticism focusing on music videos, promises to
be the most disturbing film you
have ever seen.
MTV actually threatened to
sue the producer and narrator
of the film, Sut Jhally. A letter
was sent to Jhally ordering him
to 'cease and desist' promoting
and using the video. In a crafty
altercation, Jhally was able to
frame the matter such that MTV
received bad press on the issue,
and so immediately ceased all
pressure from MTV. (You know

That's right Mary,

and beyond. Emerging Leaders
is aimed at first year students to
take part in a small, leadershiporiented class. It is very simple
to join, sign up at orientation
and show up at the first class.
The class is voluntary and will
hopefully be offered for credits
in years to come. It consists of
meeting one night a week for two
hours and a weekly typed journal
on a suggested topic. Poullard
refers to this years group as the
"dynamic dozen" and feels that
"it is at the GORE of what they
do in Student Affairs which is to
'empower students and to help
them find their own voice.
The program offers unique
opportunities such as having a
student/professor panel come
and share their leadership experiences, joining private receptions
like Jonathan Kozol's before
his informative lecture at the
California Center for the Arts
of Escondido, and serving as a
"base of support with other members," said Matt Curran. When
talking with the group members
about what ELP is, Colleen Lee
quickly replied: "ELP is an awesome program that builds great
leadership skills in freshmen.
It helps us to learn who we are
an^ how effective we can be as
leaders." In addition to learning
leadership skills, Caroline Rizk
makes the point that "ELP is a
way f or freshmen to get involved
and build new friendships but it
is also a means of discovering
who we are and how the way we
believe affects the way we live,"
Purpose, Controversy with Civility, and Citizenship. Students
challenge each other in a highly
supportive class that culminates
with students developing their
own Leadership Action Plan."
People must be congruent with
themselves before they can lead
others. This class takes self-definition seriously by participating
in many activities, journals, discussions and analyzing real life
situations. The students involved
will be much more aware of who
they are and what they believe in
by the time this class is over.
"Most importantly though, the
ELP is about helping students
learn how they lead, and about
assisting students in making
positive s ociar change within
their community," said Poullard.
These youiig adults have had
much experience on the basics of
how to become a leader. The next
step is to take action and make
a difference on campus such as
Orientation Team as many of
these young leaders have applied
and been accepted to. As freshmen, these students are given
the opportunity to meet other
freshmen and make the transition to college easier by meeting
others with the same interests.
The advantage of having a small
group is that everyone knows
each other by name, Stephanie
Gaul jokingly added that "it's
group therapy, when you need
it" because there is mutual trust
and respect at all times. Emerging Leaders Program is a positive
atmosphere for students to further their leadership abilities and
learn about different leadership
roles on campus. Although it is
fairly small this year, it will hopefully continue to expand in years
to come. Jennifer Hauser enthusiastically stated: "This program
is definitely an invaluable vehicle
to obtain my future goals and
endeavors. I would recommend
this to absolutely everyone."
This group appears close-knit
and is "the beginning to a great
circle of friendships and relationships. I learned a great deal of
respect and love for people. It
has strengthened my morals and
self-realization," said Tiffany To.
Wright adds that "ELP is based

Not only is Coffman a bodybuilding champion and a former

is also a graduate of Northwestern Instructor Training in anatomy. She took first place in many
national bodybuilding events,
including the 1998 Los Angeles

SDPD Wages War on Racial Profiling
By CHRIS MARTIN
Pride Staff Writer
Sergeant Robert Lewis of the
San Diego Police Department
gave a symposium on the problems surrounding racial profiling
in San Diego County at 1:00 p.m.
last Thursday in Academic Hall,
room 402. Lewis, who has been
on the force for 17 years, is the
department's expert on racial
profiling and works as a community relations officer liaison to
Chief of Police David Bejarano.
According to Lewis and the
SDPD, "Any officer who targets
a citizen based solely on their
race and for no other reason, that
officer is guilty of racial profiling."
Even during a time in this
nation's history when people
have seen a dramatic reduction
in crime in virtually every major
city in America over the last 10
years, the subject of racial profiling has remained a veritable
hotbed of controversy. What
makes this issue so controversial is not only the fact that it is
almost impossible to prove that a
person has been a victim of racial
profiling, but that it is, at times,
even more difficult to discern
whether or not people have actually been racially profiled in the
first place.
From Jan. to Dec. 2000,
the SDPD participated in a
"vehicle stop study" in order to
provide the community with a
comprehensive view of vehicle
stops conducted by its officers.
According to Lewis, the desired
outcome of this study was to help
the police and the surrounding
communities achieve a better
understanding of police practices
and to ensure fairness.
The SDPD believes that by
instituting the study, they can
allay public perception of racial
profiling by officers, strengthen
police/community partnership,
and retain trust and credibility
with citizens. The department
was also confident that the results
of the data would prove that they
honor their claim that they do not
practice racial profiling. .
Contrary
to
department
claims, the results of the study
showed that Hispanics and
African Americans were overrepresented in vehicle stops in
comparison to San Diego's driving-age resident population. Hispanics represent 20.2 percent of
the population in San Diego, but
they represented 29 percent of all
vehicle stops. Similarly, African
Americans represent 8 percent of
the population of San Diego, but
they represented 11.7 percent of two-pronged attack. First, they

Faces of America Confronts Race Relations
By JEFF BROWNLEE
Pride Staff Writer
Fran de Leon performed in the
play Faces of America Friday,
October 25, at Miramar College
in San Diego. The unorthodox
one-performer show is a commentary on race relations and
racial and ethnic stereotypes in
the United States.
Faces of America was coproduced by Colin Cox and
Fran de Leon. Cox wrote the
script based on interviews with
approximately 100 individuals
from different racial and ethnic
backgrounds. In addition t a de
Leon, four other actors perform
the show at alternate times as it
tours the country.
De Leon gave an amazing
performance, portraying seven
different characters from seven
different racial/ethnic groups
during the one-hour show.
Using facial expressions, gestures, accents, posture, various
idioms, and superficial costume
changes de Leon presented the
audience with seven vivid char-
acters and seven different angles
on race relations in the United
States. Co-producer Cox's script
is bursting with nuance and
insightfulness. The characters
dialogue captures their feelings
and internal thought processes
with a precision and economy
that is startling, and de Leon
executes the script so effortlessly
that the show appears almost

reflects that, in spite of his hard
work, many Caucasians assume
that he has stolen his BMW and
is using his cell phone to conduct

The message of the show is built
into its very structure. As mentioned earlier, many of the characters are of mixed ancestry and
strain at identifying themselves
along racial or ethnic lines. This
situation makes clear that defining individuals in terms of race
and ethnicity is intrinsically
racist and unworkable. Modern
changes in demographics will
ultimately render such distinctions obsolete. The inexorable
tide of travel, immigration, and
intermarriage will sweep away
the older views of race and ethnicity. The fact that one Asian
woman can so deftly portray
people from several different
racial and ethnic groups is a
credit to Fran de Leon's acting
ability; however, it is also and
indication of how superficial the
perceived differences between
these groups really are.
Some of the characters in
Faces of America dwell on their
disadvantages almost to the
point of becoming caricatures.
The melancholic descriptions
they give of their wounded lives
border on masochism. Yet, this
overstatement is not merely an
incidental flaw in the show. By

the
design of garbage should become the great public design of our age. I am talking about the whole

rivers. They will be the giant clocks and thermometers of our age."
Mierlè Laderman Ukeles is the first artist in residence at the New York Landfill on Stanton Island.
By AMBER ROSSLAND
Pride Staff Writer
As the saying goes, one person's
trash is another person's treasure.
This is definitely true when it
comes to environmental artist,
Mierle Laderman Ukeles. She is
the only artist in residence at the
New York City Fresh Kills Landfill
on Staten Island.
About 100 people showed up
last Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2002, for
Ukeles' fascinating presentation
on Maintenance Art. She began
with her work in the 1970s, where
she struggled to make known to the
public the importance of maintenance workers from housewives to
sanitation workers.
One of Ukeles' earliest works
involved the need for appreciation of security guards. Her point
of view was that these security
guards are in effect gatekeepers;
they decide who gets in and who
gets locked out. To prove her point
to the public, she took over an art
museum by selectively locking the
doors, entrances, and exits to the
different exhibits and the building
itself. This re-enactment, on her
part, of what security guards performed on a daily basis provided
a strong connection between freedom and maintenance workers.
Autumn in New York
Perhaps one of the best-known
displays of her artistry began on
Nov. 7, 1974, on an east coast
college campus. The exhibit was
broken up into three installments
as she took on the duties of a
lawn maintenance worker. As this
performance took place during
autumn in New York, the changing of color and consequent death
of leaves occurred all around
throughout the display on the lawn.
Her first challenge was to rake and
keep clear a perfect rectangle on
the lawn, without allowing a leaf to
fall within the rectangle; this rectangle was the chosen portion of the
lawn that would be saved from the
suffocation by falling and dying
leaves. Her next installment consisted of engineering a 50-foot long
sanitary napkin for the 100- year
old tree, which she metaphorically
saw as being on its period.
appreciation.
California in a Jar
In California, Ukeles is known
for her work in providing closure
for Los Angeles area residents after
the riots of 1992. Since the riots
involved so much fire and rage,
Ukeles worked with the sanitation
department to set up an exhibit of
unburnings. People were invited
to create unburnings in glass jars.
Although, they were never told
what an unburning was to look
like, it was very much a process art
in which the creation of the piece

Colors - an intrinsic, phenomenal, plethora of colors. Seussical
the Musical toasts an acid trip
specifically geared towards children and adults that revel in the
sweet, seduction of childhood
innocence. The loosely based,
Seussical the Musical offered the
message Dr. Seuss conveys in his
books. Dr. Seuss directed messages to adults about political
injustices and the simple fairness
of treating people the way you
want to be treated, if not better.
The musical, conceived by
Lynn Ahrens, Stephen Flahery
and Eric Idle, opened with an
interpretation of
people's situations and how these
situations in turn affect other
people. Seussical the Musical
opened at the San Diego Concourse on Tuesday, Oct. 29 to an
audience of whimsical children
and adults alike.

�Jackass the Movie: Not a Meussical
By TERESA MCNULTY
Staff Writer
I guess acting like a jackass
when going to Jackass: The
Movie is appropriate. It was
raining last Saturday, the dirt
bike trip was cancelled and the
suggestion of wanting to go to
a movie seemed appropriate. We
went to the movie Ghost Ship,
which was okay but definitely
not as scary as Stephen King
would have made it, but before
leaving the theatre came the
question, "Want to try and sneak
into Jackass: The MovieV' I had
no intention of paying to see this
movie but the idea of sneaking
in sounded like a good proposal.
Please acknowledge that I am
not suggesting anyone should
sneak in. The problem is I am in
my forties and so is my date and
the idea of sneaking into movies
should have ended a long time
ago.
We headed down the hall to
the other side of the theatre and
there was a manager checking
tickets outside the entrance! I
had never seen this before. The
movie was sold out and there
were kids under age trying to
sneak in.
"Can I help you, folks?" he
asked politely.
"Uhh, theatre 8?"
"Down the other side of the
theatre?" he says.
"Thanks!" we say politely

they were nuts and MTV picked

a multi-million dollar movie by
doing exactly what I am having

So one might walk out of the

think of that? When , the reality
is, "Well, no, I probably wouldn't

in line my date scoped out the
situation. I noticed that we were
not the only individuals trying to
sneak into the movie.
There were lots of disappointed, t-shirted guys in their
twenties walking through the
hallways saying, "Well, which
movie do you want to go to
then?"
While waiting in line for the
coke, my date said, "Okay he's

Punch Drunk Love is labeled
a romantic comedy, but is unlike
your normal run of the mill love
story. It plays on your emotions
giving you a full array of feelings
from beginning to end. Sandler
portrays a lonely and repressed
small business, owner named
Barry Egan who can't seem to
find love.
Barry's unusual behaviors and
lifestyle j s a result of the torment
and immense emotional abuse
that his seven sisters so generously dished him growing up.
His successful scheme to get f requent flyer miles from the purchase of "Healthy Choice;" food
items {which is something a reallife person did) and his struggles
with being an introverted social
misfit and having a nervous disposition are things which did not
keep Lena Leonard from wanting to be iii his life.
Barry's inability jto function normally and have normal
relationships with the opposite
sex come under direct and blunt
scrutiny from his sisters. Barry
then meets a woman who has a
unique interest in him, despite
having been friends with his
sister who doesn't speak kindly
of him.
Emily Watson is the mysterious love interest in the film as
Lena Leonard. Watson is also
known for her performances in
Breaking the Waves and Angela's Ashes. Lena wanders into
Barry's life at a most unusual
time, but she definitely gives him
direction and hope. She helps
Barry to face some of his darkest fears and emotions that in his
past have pushed him to the point
of raged fits of anger and physical aggression towards objects
like a restaurant bathroom and
windows at his sister's house.
Lena brings warmth and love
to his life that no one has ever

The film will without a doubt
leave audiences feeling differently about Sandler's acting
abilities as well as satisfied with
another spectacularly directed
film by P.T. Anderson. Moviegoers will not be disappointed if
they are not looking for a cookie
cutter romance comedy. Expect
the unexpected and enjoy the
artistic performance by all.

For The Pride
The ASI CSUSM surf team
has been having a more difficult
time earning points this season
to become a top ten competitor in
the national standings. Although
the depth of the entire team has
thickened, in comparison to
their first season the new depth
does not seem to be immediately
paying off in their end results.
Volunteer coach, Amber Puha,
attributes these struggles to a lack
of improvement from last season
and levels of misfortune. In each
of the past two events, there have
been three out of six players that
have advanced out of round one.
Newcomer Grayson Adams was
the sole survivor in round three
at a Ventura event: The special
teams unit seemed to be the
teams' survival guide for these
past two events. Longboarder
Dustin Franks took one win at
the first event in Ventura and a
second place at event two, held
at Blacks Beach on Nov. 2 and 3.
Bodyboarder George Demarino
and women shortboarder each
helped keep the team afloat by
clinching points and earning a
second and fifth place at Blacks
upon rebounding from the rough
spots in the first few rounds.

to last years Ponto event held in
Carlsbad, the team is down
from 74 points with 6 out of 9

finish. In Huntington last year,

with a 7th place finish gained by
its 7 out of 9 competitors. Puha
also recognizes the improvement
by returning players, especially
The team earned a total of 60 in the men's shortboard division
points at Ventura and 69 points specifically from UCSD, SDSU

X-Country Team Forms Blockade, Refuses Parking for Students
By AMBER ROSSLAND
Pride Staff Writer .
In light of the recent discontinuation of curb parking,
and despite the temporary lot,
parking is still a major issue at
CSUSM. Even if you decide
that you will park in the temporary lot, as there are no other
spaces, your car must be moved
prior to 4 pm. Whoever thought
of this brilliant plan was just a
genius, because you know, here
at CSUSM we only hold classes
until 3:45 pm just like elementary schools, right? Wrong!
Some people attend class from
9am until 7pm, so this means
that students have-to take their
breaks, assuming they have one
long enough to walk to the lot
and try to find another parking
space in a paved lot. Plus, did
this genius think of what is going
to happen to the dirt parking lot
when it starts raining? What
about that dirt walkway on the
slope to get out of the lot? As
we enter our wettest time of the
year, this may be something that
the administration should have
considered.
then quickly gathered back up to
make it impossible to drive down
the row. They rudely shouted
at passing cars that "this row is
closed" and "no parking here."
I decided that they were wrong;

I decided that this was definitely a problem, not just for
me, but also for the numerous
vehicles stuck in the traffic jam
caused by the obnoxious bunch.
As I walked down to the field,
I saw not a single person on the
field or track, meaning no class
was there at all. In response to
their lie, I speculated that the
cause for the Cross Country
team's takeover in the parking
lot was not due to a crowded
field, which let's face it wouldn't
be crowded if the school population stood on it, but due to the
fact that the grass was cold and
wet that morning and they didn't

Unfortunately, I think this is
a horrible excuse for causing
an early morning traffic jam,
and I believe that disciplinary
action should have been taken.
Rather than an apology from
the team, I received a sarcastic
note on my windshield when I
returned from class. The note
stated, "Hope you have a better
day." In response to the note, I
would like to say on behalf of the
student population, get out of our
parking spaces and go where you
belong and we would all have a
much better day!

Fragmentation and the Cries of the Coyote
By JAMES J. SIMMONDS
Pride Staff Writer
V
*
Do you hear the cries of the
coyotes as you leave your last
class of the night? Or do you
see them in the morning as they
scatter across Twin Oaks? These
top predators that dominate
the coastal sage shrub and the
chaparral ecosystems of Southern California are being pushed
from their natural habitats due
to fragmentation. The urban
development rips free spaces
from natural inhabitants like
the coyote and other creatures.
The recent real estate boom has
put a big demand for new housing. Acre after acre animals like
the coyote are driven closer to
suburbia. Many domestic cats
and dogs are found missing and
yes it is possible that a coyote is
responsible. But do you blame
them? Not only are they affected
by fragmentation but also so are
many other animals like skunks,
. squirrels, opossums and raccoons. Smaller creatures like
reptiles suffer, too. Governing
predators like the coyote, who
dramatically change the consistency of the ecological communities will cause the decline
in one species and the incline
in another or vice-a-versa. Are
humans so selfish that they have
no regard for nature?

CSUSM Celebrates Eighth

actor, Pedro Infante. The altar
was beautifully decorated with
a guitar, tequila bottle, and "pan
de muerto," or bread of the dead,
which is used ceremonially. It is
believed that biting into skullshaped candy hidden inside
the bread will bring good luck.
Upon being asked which one of
the team members slaved over
a hot oven and baked the "pan

Efrain Carrillo replied, "One of
the guys in the group bought it."

In the Americas about 3,000
years ago, many indigenous civilizations, including the Aztecs,
celebrated the dead by having
month-long festivities in the
hopes that the dead would return
and pay them a short visit. For
CSUSM that day was last Tuesday at Palm Court with the main
celebration from 12 p.m. to 2
p.m. Although the sacrificing
of virgins did not take place,
celebrations took place with
Veracruzan music, courtesy of
the band "Suaveson," and the
setting up of altars in honor of
great people from the past.

Their alter displayed a model
of the twin towers, a fireman's
cap, and a binder which had a
list, consisting of many pages, of
the victims. Although the majority of people in today's society
mourns death and sees it as a bad
thing, the Aztecs saw it as part of
life and it was celebrated.
The Day of the Dead, which
is one of the longest celebrated

By GAIL TARANTINO
Pride Staff Writer
In a news release dated Oct.
17, CSUSM President Alexander
Gonzalez accepted responsibility
for the administrative problems
that resulted in MBA program
irregularities between 1995 and
February 2001. Gonzalez said
the problems were, "a collective
action over time, but eventually
the buck has to stop somewhere.
Since I'm president it stops in my
office." The problems were first
made public in a Chancellor's
Office audit this past July.
The chancellor's audit charged
that by combining state and private funds the CSUSM MBA
program was in violation of CSU
policy. According to Gonzalez,
"the institution has to shoulder
some responsibility for inadequate management" and "while
there were procedures and
practices that were violated by
faculty and by administrators, it
was an administrative error that
allowed the program to develop
as it did."
In response to the chancellor's audit findings, Gonzalez
appointed an internal investigation committee to investigate the
audit's charges and to report back
to him with their recommendations. The committee members
were: Marion Reid (Chair),
Jacqueline Borin, Silverio Haro,
Bud Morris, Norm Nicholson,
Sandra Punch, Miriam Schustack, Laurie Stowell, and Rich

The harsh reality of fast
developmental growth brought
together frustrated citizens at
the first San Marcos Town Hall
meeting, which gave Friends
of Cerro de Las Posas and San
Marcos citizens a platform
on which to discuss concerns
regarding the growth issues of
San Marcos. This meeting took
place on Thursday, Oct. 27th at
6:30 p.m. Larry Olsen, Event
Coordinator of the Friends,
offered his knowledge on overdevelopment of the ridgeline. Dr.
Kimberly Knowles-Yanez, Cal
State San Marcos' Professor of
Urban and Regional Planning,
spoke of her expertise in sustain^
able development. Incumbents
and their opposition voiced campaign promises about visions of
the future of San Marcos, and
people of San Marcos came
together in order to voice their
opinions concerning matters of
development.
Olsen began the meeting with
the agenda of opening remarks
about the future of the ridgeline
above Cal State San Marcos. The
concerns expressed an emphatic
urgency to curb the destruction of a natural piece of the
community environment. The
goals of the Friends is to establish awareness about decisive
planning , issues, as well as to
implement and increase natural
areas for the community of San
Marcos and to expand unity
within a structurally developing community. Another goal
is to establish a community that
promotes healthy, sustainable
growth, while maintaining a
strong economy that contributes
to an enjoyable "livability" in
San Marcos,
The Friends of Cerro de Las
Posas understand the complexities about the smart growth of
a community. Olsen expressed
that smart growth is vital to the
overall development of a growing city. He also implied that
fast growth would endanger the
native habitat of ridgeline. The
proposition of a 150-acre golf
course angers many citizens
who are concerned with the
calculated development of San
Marcos' nature preserves. Previously, the community developed
a long-standing plan to build

The design of Double Peaks Park

The Town Hall meeting proceeded to construct a vision of
San Marcos by allowing candidates to speak about their views.
Some candidates chose to speak

San Marcos citizens and students remain key elements of

�Bowling for Columbine
Hits Theaters
footage as Eric Harris and
Dylan Klebold kill twelve students, a teacher, and ultimately
themselves on that day in April
1999. Moore's attempt to connect the area's largest employer
and the number one weapons
manufacturer in the United
States, Lockheed Martin,
with the violent condition is
pure irony at its best. It is also
coincidental that the day of the
Columbine killings was also
the largest single-day barrage
of American-financed bombs
raining down on Kosovo.
By JULIE MYRES
Pride Staff Writer
This movie is a must see for
everyone. Bowling for Columbine is a documentary that takes
a provocative look at guns and
violence in America. It looks
inside the minds of America
and asks the question, "why?" I
highly recommend that everyone
see this movie, as it affects moviegoers and makes them above
all THINK! Due to the complexity of the documentary, viewers
may find themselves thinking
about something totally different than the person sitting next
to them.
Startling facts were presented in this film regarding
the following countries reporting their annual death tolls by
gunfire being: Germany (381),
France (255), Canada (165),
the United Kingdom (68),
Australia (65), Japan (39), and
the USA leading the group by
reporting a shocking 11,127
people. Another notable fact
is that there are 10 million
families in Canada, 7 million
guns owned, and yet it has one
of the lowest death rates caused
by guns.
Bowling for Columbine
opened October 18th at Landmark
theaters in Hillcrest and struck a
chord within millions of people,
beginning at opening night.
This film offers satire, thoughtprovoking statements, and it is
also a film that will not please
everyone.
Filmmaker Michael Moore is
an investigative reporter, who
presents, his findings through
documentaries. He is credited
with making pragmatic films
such as Roger and Me, The Big
One, and now, Bowling for Columbine, where he examines the
social paradigms inherent in different sects of society. His directing tactics have been labeled as
guerrillafilmmaking,because he
does not censor his convictions
or attempt to hide the truth from
his audiences.
CSUSM student Phuong
Nguyen, a Communications
major, commented on Michael
Moore, saying, "Mike's smart,
f un, witty, and whimsical. He
has the uncanny ability to present issues relevant to all Americans in a way that doesn't alienate them."
The title c omes-from the
fact that the two individuals
responsible for the tragedy at
Columbine High School went

tion in almost 50 years. It was the
only prize awarded that received
a unanimous decision from the
festival jury.
CSUSM student Nguyen also
said, "I was really frightened
by the fact that we have such
an obsession with guns and how
easy it is for us to access them in
America. I didn't want to piss off
anyone in the theater for fear that
they would pull out a gun and
point it at me. I want to move to
Canada!"
This film is definitely a controversial look into America's
fixation with fear, violence, and
guns. It will make some people
angry. The main messages that
Moore attempts to share is that
the 2nd Amendment of the "right
to bear arms," does not mean that
we have the right to use them on
others. It conveyed an observation that Americans tend to rely
on themselves to resolve conflicts
instead of the government. He
also suggests that fear, enhanced
by the media's obsession with
death and violent crime, may
be the root cause of America's
death-by-gun problem.
Whether you agree with the
director's conclusions after
seeing this film isn't the issue - it
is that you recognize the problem. This documented investigation surely will encourage people
to really think about tough issues
that America faces during this
day in age. Go see this film with
others, because you will want
someone with whom to discuss
this film, right alter you see it.
Seeing the film should be mandatory for Americans.
When interviewed at the
Cannes Film Festival, Moore
stated, "I thought it would be
interesting to take a journey
through this culture of fear. Most
journalism does | be who, what,
when; where, andhow questions,
but very few people in the media
a& why does this happen! Why
do we have 250 million guns
in our homes especially when
thei^'s been a huge decrease in
crime?"
�Radical Approach to Self-Defense
By AMBER ROSSLAND
Pride Staff Writer
Students who have taken the
R.A.D. more than once say that
it only gets better with time.
Malorie Acevedo, 14, has taken
R. A.D. classes since the age of 9
and delights in the fact that "there
is always something new."
On a dark and stormy night, a
stranger approaches his victim
in an alleyway. A struggle
ensues but the woman being
attacked successfully defends
herself and manages to safely
escape. This woman, along
with thousands of other women
nationwide, was ready to defend
herself thanks to R.A.D.
Patti Kinney, a CSUSM

Life, has taken the R.A.D. class
and was very satisfied with what
she learned. "I leave each class
session feeling excited; I give this
course 100%++! I am so happy
with what I have learned so far
that I plan on continuing the
R.A.D. training to the advanced
level," she commented.
R.A.D. (Rape Aggression
Defense) was developed by
Larry Nadeau in 1989. To
ensure that women of all ages
would be capable of performing these methods, he tested
all techniques on his mother
perform prior to holding classes.
Once he was sure that they
worked, he compiled them into a
50-page self-defense handbook,
which is used widely in classes
today.

This 12-hour basic self-defense
course offers women instruction
and practice in ways to fend off
an attacker without the use of
weapons, according to CSUSM
R.A.D. instructor, Barbara
Sainz. "This class shows you
the more practical side of life;
you will enjoy it, but you will
also walk away with the skills
needed to survive an attack,"
she added. It is now available at
over 400 universities nationwide
and is instructed by a select few
law enforcement officers who are
specially trained to teach these
defense techniques.
Sainz is one of three volunteers
who teach the CSUSM R.A.D.
class, along with her husband,
Mario Sainz and Marlon Estepa,
both CSUSM police officers.
All three instructors freely give
much of their time and efforts to
educate women - young and old
alike - in the art of self-defense.
"Our goal is to teach realistic
techniques to empower women,"
added Officer Sainz.
When the instructors were
asked why they enjoy doing this,
Sainz remarked, "We love it Life Director, Bridget Blanshan,

Kinney was so satisfied with
the training she received in the

C.A.S.A. Founded by CSUSM
student, Carey Moya, This club
was established to encourage
more female students to join
in on protecting themselves.
C.A.S.A. is an acronym for
Cougars Active Self-Defense
Association, which is scheduled
to start weekly club meetings on
campus in ACD 301 beginning
Nov. 12 at 3 p.m. This CSUSM
club will encourage women to
defend themselves and promote
the usage of safety techniques.
The next scheduled R.A.D.
classes begin in early November.
Due to lack of space on campus,
CSUSM's R.A.D. classes are
presently offered across the 78
freeway at the Regional Emergency Training Center in San
Marcos. The cost for lifetime
training is $20, which goes to
fund maintenance of equipment
and training materials. For more

or call 760-747-8960.
Due to the intense nature of
the simulation exercise, students
are debriefed and given a wellness check before being allowed
to leave. The debriefing period
is also used to point out to students how well they did, and to
cheer for their performance and
enhanced skills.
After attending the October
R.A.D. classes, Kit-Bacon Gressitt, 45, commented, "This class
is incredibly helpful in teaching
self-defense tactics. This is the
first step; I feel more confident in
myself, and I would like to do it
again."

�" Latinologues" l lega a S an D iego
Por MARTHA SARABIA
Editora Principal
La obra de teatro "Latino logues" llega a San Diego. En su
primer día de estreno, el viernes
nov. 25, los actores latinos Rick
Nájera, René Lavan y Lina
Acosta recibieron una ovación
de pie al final de dicha presentación. Najera es nativo de San
Diego, Lavan es cubano y Acosta
es colombiana creando así un
mosaico latino.
"Latinologues" es una obra
cómica de teatro donde los actores usan las experiencias de los
latinos en los Estados Unidos
para crear una noche de entretenimiento total. Los actores representan a personajes de diferentes
países latinos y recrean las vidas
de ellos en Estados Unidos en
diferentes escenas. Estas escenas
son en mayor parte monólogos
con algunas excepciones en
donde más de un actor actúa.
La comedia tiene alrededor de
10 monólogos y dura un poco
menos de dos horas.
Algunos de los temas representados en la obra incluyen la inmigración de los latinos a EE.UU. y
sus experiencias con "la migra",
al igual que la versión del pasaje

Cabe destacar que además de
haber escrito esta comedia, de
dirigirla y estelarizarla, Nájera
tiene una calidad humorística
innata ya que su interpretación
no es solamente excelente pero es
súper divertida. Nájera escribió
que no hay una experiencia
latina como no hay una experiencia americana. Él escribió que
en ningún otro lugar la experiencia latina es más relevante
que en San Diego y que un solo
monólogo no puede contar la
historia de la experiencia latina.
"Entretenimiento es mi primer
prioridad para una audiencia,"
dijo Nájera.
Sin embargo, cabe destacar
que algunos de los personajes

Desafortunadamente, como lo
demuestran las estadísticas,

en el caso de la ardiente mujer
latina no deja de ser estereotípico
y muy machista ya que no todas
las latinas son tan sensuales.

�Halloween in Vegas
By MELISSA REED
Pride Staff Writer
After midterms I decided
to party this Halloween with
Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock
in Vegas. We visited all the local
hot spots like "The Fetish and
Fantasy Ball," Club " Curve"
"Studio 54," and the after-hours
club, "Seven." In actuality,
Anderson was my friend Theresa, and Rock was her boyfriend, Mike, but after putting

In response to Melissa Reed's
"Separate But Not Equal Two,"
the author appears to support an
inclusive education curriculum,
but her tone and vocabulary
suggest otherwise. She shows a
typical lack of understanding of
both the history and mechanics
of prejudice and discrimination
in America and twists the usage
of words out of their historical
context. On the one hand, she
says ethnic literature pieces
should be included in American
Literature and not put into sepa-
rate courses. On the other, she
ignores the pervasive belief by
Whites that they are not raced
and that "ethnicity" is reserved
for people of color. While she
is correct that those of British
and other European origins are
also "ethnic", this is not how this
term is used by the vast majority
of White Americans. To imply
that putting ethnic literature in
a separate course is "asinine"
reflects her underlying attitudes
and beliefs and ignorance of past

made to obfuscate the truth."
Travis Olp's recent articles
in The Pride regarding the
Progressive Activists Network's
(PAN) recent War Forum
were misrepresentative and
misleading. The point of this
forum was to give student? a
chance to hear a side of the
discourse regarding the proposed
war on Iraq that is typically
obscured by our national media.
The two articles, a "news"
piece entitled, "PAN Hosts War
Forum"
and
White America take an introspective look about the past and
the present of how Blacks have
been mistreated and are continually mistreated on a more covert
level. And, yet no one wants to
take any responsibility.
What paints an even clearer
picture is when you take a look
around the movie theaters and
see who attends a movie such
as the recently released comedy
Barber Shop, or the overlooked
shocking epic of a whole town
being burned to ashes in the
movie "Rosewood". From my
own observation more times
than not it is more probable to
see a more diverse group of
people in the theater where
blacks are portrayed in comical situations than in dramatic
social conscious roles. It is much
easier viewing a film where
black actors are making f un of
themselves or cracking jokes
about each others mama than to
watch the innocent be wrongly
accused, discriminated against,
beaten, and/or killed. Anytime
we go see a movie we would love
to walk out of a movie feeling

Z90. This cross-cultural event
was planned and organized
largely in part by joy Francisco
and Trish Guevarra of the APSS.
Some of the highlights
included versions of both the
United States and Filipino
national anthems. The APSS
also showcased two different
forms of Filipino folk dancing.
The Binasuan, performed by
Cheryl Arbitria, involves balancing three glasses of rice wine
(substituted on campus by kiwistrawberry Shasta) while moving
through a sequence of exotic
and difficult contortions. The
Tiniklin, performed by members
of the APSS, is a choreographed
dance that requires perfect synchronization of the dancers, and
incorporates the tapping of poles
which are laidflaton the ground
and tapped to the beat by fellow
performers.

County Hispanic
Chamber of
Commerce Wins
Large Chamber
oi the Year
By ADRIAN CUNDIFF
Pride Staff Writer
The San Diego County
Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (SDCHCC) won the
'Large Chamber of the Year
- Region One' award on Oct.
1, for the third year in a row.
SDCHCC is a non-profit
organization that provides
many different programs
and services for the Hispanic entrepreneur. It also
has a scholarship program
for graduating high school
students and has approved
scholarships for some college students, according to
Roberto Villareal, which
can earn them up to $1000.
According to SDCHCC,
they helped raise over
$350,000 in scholarships for
the future of the Hispanic
youth, and they are focusing
on building a solid foundation for the community,
starting with the Hispanic
youth and business community. SDCHCC also offers
internships for students
majoring in International
Business. Villareal says
that they have a program
with San Diego State University (SDSU) but sees no
problem with students of Cal
State San Marcos (CSUSM)
enlisting in the program if
they are willing to take the
time and follow through.
The organization was
established in 1989, primarily to access the $10 billion
Hispanic buying power. The
new organization is now the
fastest growing Hispanic
Chamber out of six states in
the western United States.
"Our role as a Hispanic
Chamber is to advocate
small businesses particularly Hispanic businesses,"
Villareal says.
Membership in the organization entitles small business owners to collaborate
with each other, creating
business ventures amongst
themselves. Membership
also entitles the business
owners to an exclusive
mailing list, which gives the
Hispanic business owner an
edge.

"It's a time when students
can ask anything and their
acceptance is not on the line,"

Counselor and Coordinator of
the Graduate and Professional
School Fair; which took place on
Tuesday, Oct. 22.
attendance was low. While
clouds covered the sky and frigid
breezes filtered through Founders' Plaza, the crowds were
minimal.
"Maybe it could be held
inside next year," suggested
many Southern Californian fairweather-fans.
With a reportedly high percentage of Cal State San Marcos
students going on to graduate
school, the fact that the weather
could have significantly marginalized the utility of the fair
came as a surprise. Bettina
HSber, CSUSM Director of
Analytic Studies reported from
a survey taken in the Spring of
1999 that 45 percent of Cal State
San Marcos students, having
received their bachelors degree,
enrolled in a graduate studies
program within one year.
See GRAD FAIR, page 3
The Career and Assessment
Center hosts the event annually
to provide a forum for students to
informally meet with a variety of
graduate school representatives,
to ask questions about schools
and programs, and to collect
informative materials.
This year, the fair was
extended an extra hour to last
from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., due

president of Pre-health and
biology and psychology major.
Sack and Mauldin also
explained that medical Schools
suggest that it is a necessity
to have at least one letter
of recommendation from a
professor that a student knew
well. They need to know
personal information about
the applicant that conveys a
willingness to persevere. A
student may have multiple letters
from professors of classes that
he/she aced, but that do not
explain anything about his/her
personality. It is better to have a
letter from a professor of a class
in which the student received
a C+ especially if it means the
professor can vouch for that
student's character.
Sack also commented about
CSUSM, "It's smaller and more

funding to the center.
Dr. Fernando I. Soriano,
CSUSM associate professor
and program director of Human
Development, was just named
one of the 100 Most Influential
Hispanics in the U.S by the
Hispanic Business Magazine.
%
Soriano, founder of the NLRC
(National Latino Research
Center) in 1997, fue sorprendido
por el reconocimiento ya
que no tenía conocimiento
alguno sobre su nominación.
Soriano received the news by
an email that was sent by an
acquaintance congratulating
him for the recognition, and
since then has received many
more. "I was very shocked and
kind of humbled," said Soriano.
According to Soriano, knowing
many Latinos in the nation
who are doing so much for the
Latino community, and who are
deserving of this recognition, it
is both gratifying and shocking.
"Me siento muy afortunado de
tener este conocimiento y ojala
que la comunidad Latina tengan
orgullo en esto, igual que los
que no son Latinos sepan que
los Latinos pueden lograr igual
éxito a los que no son Latinos,"
dijo Soriano.

Sobre el efecto de su
reconocimiento en su vida,
Soriano said, "It [the recognition]
gives me an opportunity to serve
as a role model especially to
children and adolescents, and I
think that role modeling for kids
is very special." He also added
jokingly, "I wish I had the money
that went with that."
La página de Internet del
Hispanic Business magazine
listed la fundación del NLRC
as well as the participation of
Soriano in the Census Bureau's
Advisory Committee on the
Hispanic population como sus
cualidades principales. The
recipients ofthis recognition were
determined by survey results
conducted by the magazine.
However, Soriano never received
anything from the magazine's
editor or publishers, saying
anything of his nomination or his
recognition.
La razón principal por la cual
Soriano decidió venir a Cal
State San Marcos fue debido al
gran apoyo que la universidad
demostró para apoyar el NLRC.
"I wanted to make sure that the
center had a good home, that it
would have strong institutional
support for the center; it looked
like Cal State San Marcos
seemed to be very interested in
Latino research and Latino issues
so it seemed like a good home for
the center." Soriano said that
since then, "the center has been

important."
"We, as a country and as a
region, should become much
more multilingual and should
promote the use of languages,"
added Soriano. De acuerdo con
Soriano, the future of the U.S. is
that it is going to become much
more interdependent on other
countries, as the current situation
in Europe, where most Europeans
speak more than one language
due to their interdependence on
other countries. "More and more
people who are going out to the
job market willfindthat some of
the better opportunities for jobs
are going to be given to those
who are able to navigate through
different cultures," he said.
Soriano said that unfortunately,
there are not many Latinos who
hold Ph.D's, as well as there is a
very low percentage of Latinos
who go into 4-year colleges.
Soriano mencionó algunos de los
factores influyendo a este bajo
porcentaje que incluyen la falta
de role models; falta de apoyo
y conocimiento de las escuelas,
profesores y directores, al igual
que la falta de confianza que
estos ponen en los estudiantes
latinos; los exámenes subjetivos
aplicados temprano en la vida
académica que afectan la
motivación y el auto estima de
estos niños; y el pertenecer a
familias de bajos recursos donde
los padres no tienen la educación
y el tiempo para guiar a sus hijos
y sobre todo donde hay un stress
económico. "Todo esto constituye
una barrera muy grande," dijo
Soriano. También añadió que
hay muchos otros factores que
afectan este porcentaje.

On Oct. 29th 1997, five years
ago today, Anton Szander LaVey,
founder of the Church of Satan,
was found dead by his family in
his Los Angeles home. His death
at age 67 was the result of heart
failure. Halloween 1997 marked
the end of LaVey's life, but to the
annoyance of Christians everywhere, it did not mark the end of
his legacy. The Church of Satan
is still going strong, admitting
new members every day from all
over the world.
Satanism has long been a
frightening and mysterious concept in western culture. While
there is little evidence that the
hundreds of thousands of people
who were tortured and executed
throughout history for being
Satanist were anything more
than social misfits or radicals,
the perception of a secret devil
worshipping society has long
been perceived to exist. Thanks
to LaVey, this concept has
become a reality, though not
exactly according to a Christian
understanding.
Most people do not have a clue
about what Satanism is today.
The historical understanding
of the satanic creates so strong
a picture that it is difficult to
approach the Church of Satan
objectively. When most people
think of Satanists, images of
human sacrifice, blood rituals,
and infant theft instantly come
to mind. However, modern day
Satanism, of the variety practiced by members of the Church
of Satan, has little to do with
these stereotypes.
The church of Satan, aside
from its name and being the
result of a rebellion against
Judeo-Christian values, has very
little to do with Christianity.
Modern Satanists, do not believe
in god or the devil, or any super
natural deity and thus modern
Satanism falls into the roughly

Dear Pri4e,
In reading the opinion section of
the October 8 issue I was very
interested in the thoughts of both,
student, Amy Granite and, lead
editor, Martha Sarabia. I respect
Amy's passion for her belief in the
mistake of the Pride. I wds born in
San Diego and I am notfluentin
Spanish. Seeing the Spanish Sec*
tion actually inspired me, the fact
that it had no English translation
made me even more curious to
find out what it said. It also made
me think about how those at our
school who do speak and read
Spanish, what about their view?
What a joy for them to open the
school paper and be able to read
an article in their native language,
maybe even the language the
learned first
I think it is reasonable for Amy to
request English side-by-side with
the Spanish article. Although,
the editor, Maria Sarabia brings
up that space and time make it
impossible. My suggestion as a
fellow English speaking student
is to FIGURE IT OUT! We are
at CSUSM to learn and to grow.
There are resources out there
we can use as students to understand the world. This includes
Spanish, if necessaiy...to read
the school paper. If you have
Internet access (tiy using the
school lab) log onto a website
suchaswww.fieetranslation.com.
Here you can translate words or
entire passages in multiple languages. I believe you can go to
www.csusm.edu/pride/ highlight
the Spanish article copy it and
have it translated for you on the
website.
We need to be more accepting of
the changes happening around us.
There is Spanish written on almpst
all store products and their directions. Even songs on the radio use
both English and Spanish in the
same song. [i.e. Angie Martinez"If I can go...contigo (with you)].
I could go on with examples but I
think we can all start looking for
these occurances in our own surroundings. Fm sorry to those who
are\were offended by the Spanish
section, I hope that in the future
we as students can pull together
all possible resources to better
understand the Pride as well as the
world around us.
Nicole Capatanos
Senior, Liberal Studies
This is letter is in response
to Oct 8th's "Opinion About
The Pride Spanish Section" I
wasfranklysurprised that Ms.
Granite took such offense with
the article written in Spanish in
our school's newspaper. This
university was founded oh the
ideal of multiculturalism and
social justice. That a school
newspaper would be broadminded enough to publish a
small section where Spanish
speakers can read in their
native language would seem
to be a positive rather than
a negative. I would venture
to guess that there are many,
many students on this campus
who, while maybe not fluent
Spanish speakers, have yet
studied Spanish at some point
in their educational career, as I
have. I personally enjoyed the
challenge of putting my hardearned Spanish skills to practical use in trying to read the
passage. It's not like the article
was written in Croatian or
some obscure language. This is
a language that is so prevalent
in our area that if hearing it or
reading it offends us; we may
be living in the wrong area.

Luther King had a dream that
white and black children would
go to the same schools. He did
not have a dream that involved
a child having to meet certain
criteria in order to attend the
school.
National Book Award-winning author Jonathan Kozol
spoke out against what he calls
"Modernized legal apartheid,"
in the United States' public
schools system last Thursday
at the California Center for the
Arts in Escondido (CCAE). It
was a packed house last Thursday at the CCAE when Kozol
opened his speech, praising
school teachers on their continued efforts on working with
kids, yet not speaking too highly
about politicians who think otherwise.
Kozol does not believe our
politicians are doing enough to
educate the young children in
the inner cities. According to
his research, 1/4 of the children
in South Bronx do not go to preschool because their local government won't spend the money
for Head Start programs, which
help children of low-income
families to better develop their
comprehensive skills before they
start school.
Kozol drills the government
on its education bill that was
passed, which will in turn hold
an eight-year-old accountable
for not passing his/her exams.
He feels that these tests are
discriminatory against children
that go to inner city schools,
because some of these children
did not have any proper preschooling, and many did not go
to pre-school at all. Kozol also
thinks that teachers will lose
some of their creativity, because
they would be under the watchful eye of the government.

Kozol doesn't believe that
parents from the inner city have

people just don't notice it because
Daniel Murphy, a CSUSM
senior, said "Instead of having
the students pick up the entire

a choice as to where the previously set aside money should be
used. The $124,091 will now be
distributed to other Student Life
Programs and to hiring another
staff police officer. CSUSM's
President Alexander Gonzalez
said, "Both will support student
needs as we move to a 24/7
campus with the opening of student housing in Fall 2003."
"Teachers are not drill sergeants for the state," Kozol
expressed. A teacher should
have "Loyalty first to the kids,"
and second to the government,
Kozol said. He does not feel that
it is necessary for the government to test children because of
the negative impact it will have
on whoever implements it.
PAN Hosts
War Forum
By TRAVIS OLP
Pride Staff Writer
On Thursday, O ct 17th, Cal
State San Marcos hosted a
forum concerning the pending war against Iraq in the
Mezzanine Plaza at 12 p.m.
Sponsored by the Progressive Activist Network (PAN),
the panel consisted of three
CSUSM professors and two
North
County
activists.
According to PAN Vice President Drew Niedenthal, the
forum provided an opportunity to "hear from people who
are educated about the situation, and to let them speak
their mind?
The discussion began with
introductions of the panel
by PAN President Manal
Yamout. Fellow members

communication alumnus, Bob
Nanninga, currently a journalist for the Coast News. Both
Nanninga and Eiden proved to
be very adamant about avoiding
war with Iraq.
Eiden thinks a great deal is
missing from media coverage,
more specifically, whatever
the government does not want
people to know. "If the government tells the truth, it is a
coincidence", said Eiden. Nanninga explained that the "federal

Questions made by PAN
President Yamout were direct
and succinct. These included
"Is the media coverage on the
situation with Iraq accurate?",
"Should President Bush be more
concerned about domestic issues
such as a faltering economy?"
and "What are the implications
if America decides to go to war
without U.N. approval?" The
only clear answer was from
Eiden. If the U.S. goes to war
without the consent of the U.N.,
it could be the catalyst that
"ignites a world confrontation
between 'Islam' and 'the West'.
The U.S. could become a world

Professor of History Patricia

Women's Studies Kicks Off New Leadership Series
By HONEE J. FOLK
Pride Staff Writer
Three professional women discussed the importance of balancing family and business life, the
glass ceiling encasing women in
government, and the challenges
that lay ahead for women on their
career paths during a Women's
Studies Leadership Series, The
panel discussion took place at Cal
State San Marcos in Commons
206 on Oct. 10, complete with
light afternoon hors. d'oeuvres
of fine cheese with crackers and
exotic fruit juices. Its focus was,
"Being in the Public's Eye," and
it had as guest speakers three

and priorities of her daughter's
sleepover plans, a town hall
meeting, dinner, her career as an
accountant, wife, and the Mayor
of an entire city - all in one day.
Holt-Pfeiler
devotedly
described the obstacles that she
herself faced on her political
ascension on the public service
ladder. She reiterated the many
difficulties specific to women
who must burrow through a
system filled with challenges,
and are often not shown any
benevolence from their male
counterparts.
When questioned by an audience participant about her commitment to ensuring that the
voices of other underrepresented
populations, specifically women
of color, be heard, Holt-Pfeiler
responded, "If you don't share
power, it's going to be taken
from you, so you have to make
a place at the table for everyone
to sit."
Holt-Pfeiler, the soft-spoken
Mayor of Escondido, appeared
stronger than a locomotive in a
calm, underlying might, as she
recounted her daily challenges
of holding a public office and
balancing her family responsibilities. She invited the audience
on a twist-and-turn journey of

the age of 27 to provide for her
two young children. With just a
high school education and $2,000
in her billfold, Case whisked past
the blockades and two husbands
in her way, up the ladder of
managerial success. Now that
she has accomplished that, there
is little room for advancement
because the top 5 Director positions in city management are all
held by men and have remained
stagnant. Case cautiously talked
about the ever-present glass

women. She said of Escondido
city government, "You find a lot
of women get to the management
level and that's where they tend
to stop. They don't tend to get to
the director level."
Case outlined the pros and
cons of engaging the city in
employment. She maintained
that among the most attractive advantages to government
work is an individual's ability
to directly affect change in other
people's lives. "You touch a lot
of people," she said, "you touch
the public a lot." She continued
by saying that although the pay

disposition permitted her to be
completely frank and honest
with her audience, being truthful in her advice, "I would say
there are more opportunities for
women to advance, at least in
this state, today, in the private
sector," Case asserted, "If you're
looking for an accelerated career
path to the top, government is not
for you, at least not now."
Strassburger, CEO of the
Downtown Business Association
of Escondido, connected with the
audience by sharing her professional progression towards the
position she holds now. Strassburger previously held employment with organizations from
the San Diego Blood Bank to the
Zoological Society, publishing
articles in regional and national
publications. Her experience
reinforces the age-old cliché
that it's not what you know, it's
who you know as she openly
divulged, "I have never received
a job that I have applied for.

the Board meeting to illustrate
the benefits of spirit slogans with

reminded the members.

women in the room by sharing
her valuable experience, "I don't
care what job you're in, doing
your homework and being prepared always puts you one above
everyone else." According to her,
this preparation empowered her
to move beyond obstacles in her
path as if leaping over tall buildings in a single bound.
To illustrate this analogy,
Strassburger provided an example that she, like other women,
had often encountered. "There
will be times when you're in a
meeting and make a comment,
and 5 minutes later a man will
say the same thing and be recognized for it when you weren't."
She used this opportunity to
engage the audience by releasing
the tension that had built up from
such a frustrating reality. Strassburger asked someone to help
her understand why this scenario
often occurred and Jonathan
Pouliard, CSUSM's Associate
Vice President of Student Affairs
and Dean of Students, blurted
out, "That's easy, it's called

�Sniper Continues to Baffle Investigators
By CHRIS MARTIN
Pride Staff Writer
Despite increased efforts, the
Washington D.C. area serial
killer commonly known as the
"Beltway Sniper" continues to
elude authorities. The killing
spree, which has resulted in nine
deaths and has wounded three
others, began on O ct 2nd. On

sniper has hit some in the head,
others were hit in the upper body.
Graves maintains that, given the
distances of the shootings (up to
100 yards) and kill ratio (9 of
11) this seems unlikely to be the
work of a professionally trained
sniper. "I can take someone out
in the morning and by lunch
have them shooting as well as
this guy," says Graves.
The second assumption made
about the "Sniper" that has
recently been questioned is the
idea that this is the work of a lone
gunman. Former FBI agent and
one of the pioneers of modern
profiling techniques, Robert
Ressler, suggests that the shooter's ability to hit with a single
shot and escape police dragnets
within minutes gives credence to
the notion that this might be the
work of more than one man.
It's been implied that the
second man would act as a
"wheel man" and/or victim spotter. "These are complex crimes,"
says Ressler. "You can't just pull
up and shoot out the window
unless you're an exceptional
marksman. I think he's getting
out of his seat and shooting
with a scope and a bipod or a
rest. Someone else is driving."
Ressler also suspects that by the
time the victim falls, the vehicle
is already moving.
This may be partly due to
the United States government's
approval to use Army spy planes
(Airborne Reconnaissance Low
planes) equipped with a range
of special sensors and detection
capabilities for an overhead,
round the clock hunt for the
notorious marksman. Furthermore, criminologists have suggested that, these killings may
stop for months at a time, or even
entirely.
This may be just another of this
unseemly character's/characters'
methods employed that make
him/them virtually impossible to
profile. Whatever the case, this
methodical madman/madmen
has used intelligence to evade
capture thus far and officials
have even granted that it may
require either luck, or an improbable mistake on his/their part to
apprehend this killer/killers.

�Evaluating the Writing Requirement
By GAIL TARANTINO
Pride Staff Writer
about how students from other
universities were graduating
without satisfactory writing
skills and believed that "was
outrageous," Worden explained
how the faculty decided, "We
didn't want that to happen
here."
Throughout the California
State University system there
is a requirement that says that
in order to obtain a degree all
students must show a proficiency
in writing. Students at CSUSM
meet this requirement through
what is known as "Writing
Across the Curriculum"
The 2002-2003 General Catalogue explains, "At CSUSM,
students complete the graduation
writing assessment through the
All-University Writing Requirement" This requires that every
course must have, "a writing
component of a least 2,500
words " The requirement does
not state specifically how this is
to be done, just that the "writing
requirement can be achieved in
a variety of ways, depending on
the course."
an upper division writing class
and pass the Examination in
Writing Proficiency (EWP). Students attending the Long Beach
campus have to pass a Writing
Proficiency Examination/ In all
cases, if the students fail to pass
the writing exams and additional
courses, they will not be able to
graduate. There are also limits
as to how many times the exams
can be taken.
The requirement for CSUSM
is much different from other
universities in the CSU system.
At CSU Bakersfield, students
must show writing competency
by either passing the Graduation
Writing Assessment Requirement (GWAR) examination or

known as Challenge Exams, and
at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo students must either pass a writing
proficiency exam or take another
English class in order to graduate.
CSUSM's writing requirement is a legacy of the founding
faculty. Dr. Patricia Worden,
a member of the founding faculty in Psychology who is now
the Dean of Graduate Studies,
explained that Dr. Ken Seib is the
"father of the writing requirement." Worden said that the
founding faculty was concerned
Worden told how Seib, who
left the university before it
opened, felt that "if you want to
learn how to write you have to
write a lot." In order to achieve
this goal, the founding faculty
decided on a requirement that
would call for writing in every
single class, or "writing across
the curriculum." Worden said
they knew it would require
more work for the faculty, so
they .made the requirement
flexible mandating only a word
minimum and not any specifics
for how it should be accomplished. Worden added, "[the]
university's writing requirement
has had nothing but good publicity." *
Dr. Bud Morris, Immediate
Past Chair of the Academic
Senate and Communication
professor, said that, "CSUSM
chooses to [use the writing
requirement] and we do it well."
Morris added how the writing
requirement "is a distinction and
one that emphasizes the personal
development of the students."
To confirm how successful
CSUSM's writing requirement
really is, Dr. Bettina Huber,
Director of Analytic Studies,
provided statistics and data
gathered from several different
surveys. According to Huber,
"Our writing requirement makes
us distinctive." She also said that
it highlights the importance of
writing in every course over a
general essay like the GWAR.
Huber discussed the results of
the Fall 2001 Annual In-Class
Survey, which showed how 80%
of the 1,156 respondents believed
that, "their writing ability had
been enhanced moderately or a
great deal."
In the Spring 1999 Alumni
Survey, in which there were
1,468 respondents, four in five
alumni said "the writing skills
they acquired at CSUSM have
proved particularly useful in the
years since they received their
bachelor's degrees." Alumni
comments were a testimony to
both the dislike and the importance of the requirement. A few
typical examples were, "the
horrible writing requirement has
proven to be very valuable," "all
writing proved to be a must," and

This Thursday, Oct. 24th, is
United Nations Day. Although
this day is marked on many calendars, many do not know what
this day really means.

was established via presidential
proclamation to commemorate
the establishment of the United
Nations in 1945. Originally
called the League of Nations,

Showing a proficiency in writing is mandatory for graduating
college students in the state
of California. CSUSM has the
unique system of the "writing
across the curriculum" requirement, while other colleges,
regardless if they are in the CSU
system or not, have exit exams
like the GWAR, or additional
classes, or both. It is extremely
doubtful that the writing requirement will ever be eliminated, but
it could be replaced. However,
this would be up to the General

Press Law "Center
created the following ad,
On-campus scandal;
deceit, and incompetence exposed.
Or
so it should be in the
university press.
"The Constitution
has established as the
supreme law of the
land the guarantees of
free speech and a free
press with a prohibition against the government at any level
of any branch infringing thereon," wrote
Louis Ingelhart. The
question that remains
is if this protection
of verbal and written
freedom of expression
extends to the nation's
3500 plus colleges and
universities. So begins
the debate.
"Wanted: Teacher

The fact that very
few campus newspapers are completely
independent of the college overseeing them
complicates the issues
over how much freedom they are entitled
to.
Cal State San
Marcos' student paper,
The Pride, for example, receives rent-free
office space on campus
and approximately half
of its funding from the
university Instructionally Related Activities
(IRA) funding. The other half credence to student publications
is self-sufficient, coming from being entitled to funding - which

due to content-related issues, as
Francine Martinez, CSUSM described by journalism profesVice President for Student sor Louis Ingelhart.
Affairs, explains IRA funding
as a, "fee revenue that is paid
by students each semester. The
current fee is $5 per student per
term." Martinez added that the
IRA Fee "is designated for activities that support the academic/
instructional programs of the
University. Student newspapers
[are] an example of the type of
activities supported by this fee
on our campus"
There is a proposal submission process, which The Pride
goes through each year in order
to receive this funding. The ASI
president is the chair of the IRA
committee, which reviews all
proposals and makes recommendations to the university
president. The president makes
the final recommendations as to
who receives IRA allocations for
the following year.
Fiscal support, such as that
received by The Pride, is not
unique to CSUSM. According
to journalist Eric Campbell, only
22 student newspapers in the
country are completely independent. In fact, courts give formal

reputation for the
university, said, "I

do not expect it to be
consistently positive
about the campus."
press, or prefer to ignore these
restrictions." Thereby, the freedom to which student journalists
are entitled is not always taken
advantage of.
Nor is this a staunch freedom
that goes unchallenged. New
cases are perpetually brought to
court where a party believes their
constitutional right to freedom of
the written word has somehow
been thwarted at a campus newspaper. Currently, the editors of a
student publication at Governors
State University in Illinois have
filed a lawsuit in federal court.
The two editors complain that
their paper was literally shut
down after they printed attacks
on professors and administrators
for being "antagonistic to student
concerns" This case is being
closely watched by student-press
and
professional-journalism
organizations for the impact it
may have upon future policies.
Despite the lack of complete
autonomy from the university,
many campus newspapers are
free from the control of their
faculty or administration. This
makes student newspapers peerlessly unique, as no other publications are free from the censorship of their publisher, which is
the university in this case. In
these circumstances, though,
immunity is seen as necessary
for publications to function as
credible sources of information
instead of extensions of university advertising. The United
States judicial system has upheld
this necessity with Numerous
court rulings granting that public
colleges have more power to
regulate what is taught in the
classrooms than what is printed

the legal rights of the campus not subject to the same laws
as public, and thereby are not

are still regarded negatively.
A former staff writer for The
Babbler, the student newspaper
at Lipscomb University in Tennessee, commented on experi-.
ences with the newspaper's
faculty advisor. "When talking
about story ideas, I was repeatedly told not to be disappointed
if something negative [about
Lipscomb] didn't get printed...
That's just the way it was," said
the former writer. (Student's

Jonathan Poullard,
CSUSM Dean of Students, said he wants to hear the
truth reported about the campus
workings, but he wants to hear
all the truth. "Don't give me half

Poullard expounded that at the'

�Mastering the Job Interview
By TERESA MCNULTY
Pride Staff Writer
On Oct. 15 at 8 p.m., the
Alpha Kappa Psi fraternity
hosted an Interview workshop with Bank of America
recruiter Maria Pancotti.
Pancotti gave insights and suggestions for settling the nerves
that all of the students will
eventually encounter when
looking for a job.
Pancotti's first -suggestion
was to be ready to relax/ She
explained most interviewers or
recruiters understand nerves
and try to put individuals at
ease, so she insisted, "Go
ahead and relax!"
One way to help the relaxation part is to be prepared.
Pancotti recommends making
sure that applicants know
ahead of time exactly what job
people are applying for and the
qualifications needed for that
job. Also, people should try to
find out what kind of interview
they will be having: whether
it is a panel interview, a oneon-one interview or a phone
interview makes a difference
in the process. Pancotti also
suggested calling beforehand
to do research on the position
that applicants are applying for
and investigating in advance
as to whether the position is a
service oriented job or a data
entry position. Going to an
interview unaware of these
things may damage an applicant's chances for getting the
job, said Pancotti. Also, many
companies have websites now,
where people might be able to
get a better knowledge about
the culture of the company.
Pancotti feels it is most
important that when applicants arrive to the interview
they show energy and dignity
and exude confidence. Wear
appropriate clothing; conservative and professional over
trendy is usually best. She
recommended wearing a very
light fragrance, nothing overwhelming because some individuals have allergies. Pancotti also offers a reminder,
"The interview starts the
moment you walk in the door."
She also recommended being
courteous to everyone, which
means the receptionist, too.
Recruiters sometimes ask the
receptionist about their opinion. Furthermore, recruiters
will be looking at the overall
presentation that applicants'
offer, and everything counts.
Pancotti suggests "bringing
a copy of the resume in a folder
or a briefcase." She also added,
"Bring your day timer or a calendar with you. Occasionally,
a second interview is required
and applicants will need to
make the appointment at that
time. Also, bringing the exact
phone numbers of professional
references helps. Sometimes
people will go directly to
the second interview, so that
second resume helps. The
resume does not have to look
fancy; it just has to have your
skills and be easy to read. The
simpler the better is usually
best," said Pancotti.
If possible, applicants are
encouraged to do some roleplaying before the interview.
Ask a friend to help. Be prepared to answer "Behavioral
Based Interview" questions
such as; tell me about a time...
or a specific experience when
you came up with an idea
that improved a situation.
The answers should be based
on actual experiences. Other
questions might be "Describe
your most significant accomplishment for which your
received
recognition?"
Answers might start like, "A
week ago, I helped my boss.. "
Pancotti insisted never to lie
about the answers given in the
interview. She said, "Liars stop
looking at the interviewer and
tend to loose focus. We can
always tell." So she insisted,
"Always, be honest and tell
the truth"
In addition, people should be
prepared to answer questions
regarding their weaknesses.
This is why Pancotti suggested
turning the question into a
positive answer, for instance,
"I work too hard or I am
overly organized." Some other
common questions include:
Where do you see yourself in
5 years? Why are you leaving
your current position? Good
answers to the last question
would be lack of growth or
seeing better opportunities in
the job applicants are applying
for. When answering questions, the interviewee should
be sure to communicate
clearly and completely, and
if they are not sure how they
sound, they are recommended
to tape themselves or go over
their answers with a friend.
Having questions for the
interviewer shows that applicants are prepared. If possible,
the interviewee should go
ahead and write the questions
down and bring them to the
interview. Pancotti's suggestions for good questions would
be asking "What characteristics would make the applicant more successful in this
position," in which applicants
should highlight their qualities
and say what they can do to
follow the suggestions given
by the interviewers. Asking
for more information about
the actual duties of the hiring
position is also helpful; the
last question should always be
to ask for the next step. This
question implies asking if they
will call or if they will write.
Also, writing a thank you
letter is a good thing to do.
According to Pancotti, if there
are many applicants, people
will want to stand out and
writing a thank you letter can
help. Some individuals might
write in the letter "Remember
I was number one on my sales
team in my previous position."
Maintaining eye contact
during the interview; connecting with the interviewer;
taking time to answer questions; not offering too much
personal information; and
avoid talking about your husband or children were other
suggestions made by Pancotti.
Pancotti added that recruiters
want to talk about the applicants' skills and qualifications
and that this should be kept
simple. Pancotti concluded,
"At the end of the interview
people should feel comfortable
and relaxed but without forgetting to bring the most important thing to the interview, a
great smile!"

Take a Break Tuesdays Starts Up at CSUSM
By HONEE J. FOLK
Pride Staff Writer
Associated Students, Inc.
(ASI) Programming Board
braved the day's dark clouds
and harsh air on their mission
to entertain CSUSM students
during "Take a Break Tuesday"
activity held on Oct. 15, between
11 a.m. and 3 p.m. For this event,
seven Cal State §an Marcos students, John Gehris, Rhawnie
Gauthier, Julie Kroeger, Angi
Hardin, Brett Gladys and Briza
Juarez enticed, bribed, begged
and harassed anyone standing on
Founder's Plaza to increase their
batting average in the huge inflatable batting cage. The enormous
playpen was set up between
Academic and Science Halls and
provided many college students
an opportunity to retreat to their
adolescent memories of recess
on the jungle gym.
The ominous gray sky, chilling wind, and the precipitous
rain clouds were no match for the
programming board members'
sunny dispositions. Armed with
big smiles, enthusiastic energy,
and musical bullhorns, several
members of the programming
team went to the corners of the
quad to pull in prospective players. Gehris often stopped random
passersby and challenged them
to "swing batter batter, swing
batter batter." Some CSUSM
students were not lured onto
the playful atmosphere, Maria
Schroeder, ASI College of Arts
and Sciences Representative
remembered ducking and dodging the ball instead of sending it
into the outfield the last time she
entered the cages. With a smile
on her face, she tugged her arm
away from the persistent John
Gehris, as she exclaimed, "No
way, I almost broke my ankle
and lost my shoe the last time I
got in that thing!"
ASI Coordinator of Student
Programs and Services, Valerie
Cuevas, offered her opinion of
the. day's activities saying, "It
went very well, over 70 students
participated... it provided a great
escape from papers and projects
for students to just have fun."
Cuevas encouraged everyone to
participate in the fun activities
scheduled in this series on the
third Tuesday of every month.
The cold California weather
had students standing in line
with blue lips and shivering
torsos jumping from side to side
in an effort to keep warm (in
the miserably cold weather that
never got below 65 degrees).
Many were anxious to strut
their stuff for fantasy bragging
rights about how many balls they
"smacked out of the park," joked
one student before he pounded
away at the ball.

Gore Verbinski (The Mexican),
stars Naomi Watts (Mulholland Drive), Martin Henderson
(Windtalkers), and David Dorfman (Panic).
While not all the cast are
mainstream popular actors and
actresses, the characters portrayed come together to make an
entertaining shock movie about
an urban legend focusing around
a videotape. However, when
watching this movie, which I
suggest you do, please don't
meddle on what is not believable,
it will ruin the experience. The
main gist of this movie is based
on the "what i f ' factor, so just
go with it. This movie revolves
around a videotape but manages
to be fairly entertaining, I would
suggest this movie to anyone
who likes a fairly scary movie

and a little bit on the lame side,
you are right. But, since when
does a Hollywood movie need
a believable plot? Especially
when dealing with a movie
that's based upon a fictional
urban legend.
Dark imagery foreshadow events. Image courtesy of Dreamworks.
The urban legend in The Ring
is about a mysterious videotape,
whose mystery is only exceeded
by its power because the movie
will kill you after viewing it.
When this video is watched, the
viewers will not only be scared,
but receive a phone call immediately afterwards explaining that
they will have 7 days left to live.
This movie received a rating
of PG-13, but deals with fairly
mature subject matter. Similar
movies include the Blair Witch,
or the Sixth Sense. The Ring

�Jack Johnson Soothes
San Diego
By JULIE MYRES
Pride Staff Writer
On October 12th, I had the
opportunity to attend the Jack
Johnson concert at UCSD Rimac
Arena featuring other artists such
as G Love and Special Sauce. I
would describe Jack's music as
soulful, lazy, Saturday guitar
tunes that occasionally are hinted
with a touch of blues, hip-hop,
and reggae inflections.
From what I have gathered
from many websites dedicated
to Jack and his music, he is Jack,
27 years old, who was born and
raised in Hawaii started surfing pretty much as soon as he
began to walk. He surfed
competitively as a teenager
with a Quicksilver contract
and a reputation as an up and
coming pro surfer, but he was
not the type who enjoyed major
competition. After a near fatal
surfing accident, Jack turned
his back on his surfing career
and moved to the mainland to
study film at UCSB.

Jack's musical talent was
discovered here in San Diego.
He started off playing $2.00
shows in Encinitas, before he
started to get more recognition.
Jack is just another person who
enjoyed playing the guitar and
jamming with friends after a
good day of surfing.
Jack is definitely a laid
back kind of guy who really
just plays music, because he
loves it and not for the money.
Rumor has it that he avoided
the big wig recording studios in regards to his second
album and is heading back to
his brother's garage in Oahu,
Hawaii to compile it.
His first album, Brushfire
Fairytales, has been a huge hit.
It has sold over 200,000 copies
since its release in 2001.1 also
have noticed great popularity
and definitely big playtime
on local radio stations as well
as nationwide recognition on
Billboards.com.
I was surprised to see such a
laid back gathering of people
at the concert. It was more
like a party gathering than a
concert. There was no certain
demographic at the concert. I
saw fans as young as gradeschool age and all the way up
to people that looked to be my
parent's age. There were definitely many college students
.from all sorts of local colleges
and universities. My group
consisted of CSUSM students
as well as SDSU students. We
all enjoyed the intimate setting where we felt relaxed and

In response to Crystal Rodriguez, and in defense of my article
"Separate But Not Equal," I have
to say that I think you missed my
point. I was not suggesting that
we just eliminate these "ethnic"
literature pieces from being studied; I was saying that these pieces
should be included in the American Literature class because the
authors are just as American as
any of the other authors that are
currently included.
For instance, Thomas Paine,
the author of "Common Sense",
was born and raised in England,

As the November 5th election
rapidly approaches, we need to
educate ourselves about the candidates and issues. That is the
major problem: we need to educate ourselves. No professors to

our heads. Self-education pushes
us out of our comfort zone. It
takes discipline.

not? It is similar to implying that
Paine, a man from England, has
no ethnicity. It is asinine to have
a class that separates "EthnicAmerican" pieces from "American" pieces, because what the
university is saying by doing this
is, that the authors in the plain
old American Literature class
have no ethnicities. In addition
to this oversight, the university
is promoting the idea of separate
but equal, something we learned
back in the Civil Rights movement is simply wrong.
Also, why did you point out
that the university catalog says
that, "Literature 450 examines
texts through thematic and
historical frameworks in order
to view them as products of
varying culture and historical
circumstances?" Are you suggesting that in American Literature 309A and 309B that the
university disregards the varying
historical and cultural changes
that were occurring during the
American Revolution, the treatment of the Native Americans,
contemporary politics are not
youth-oriented. True, politicians
intentionally gear their ad campaigns and discussions towards
the older generation of voters,
knowing full well that only 32
percent of voters aged 18 to 24

presidential election. Which one
should come first: politicians

None of these issues were
remotely addressed. Especially
at the collegiate level, we as
Americans need to take pride
in a democratic system that even
allows for debates like this to
take place. True democracy
incorporates the voice of every-
one. Clearly, this was not the
case on Thursday.
Don't misunderstand me. I
believe the beauty of politics lies
in its innate nature of contention.
No one ever said democracy
wouldn't be messy. However,
if one side cries out that they
are being treated unjustly, the
answer is not to create a meeting
of the minds where all the minds
think alike. At the next student
union sponsored debate, more
attention and respect should be.
granted to others' viewpoints.
" Cal S tate S quares" R esponse
In regard to the article in
The Pride regarding Cal State
Squares, it should be noted that
the writer failed to complete her
research on the questions posed
during the game. Had she asked
ASI what the source of their questions was, she would have found
that all of our questions pertaining to the University came from
the University Library Archives.
As ASI believes that source to be
reliable, we accept their informa-
tion as accurate.
In addition, in a conversation
with Rick Moore, University
Communications Director, and
Barbara Bashein, VP for External Affairs, it was agreed that the
official mascot of the University
is the Cougar, not the Tukwut.
The two are not the same. It
appears that an extensive conversation on this topic took place
several years ago and resulted in

this distinction.
Finally, I am sure you realize
that in the original Hollywood
Squares game, the individuals
in the squares sometimes intentionally provide wrong answers
to the questions, attempting to
throw the contestants off. It is
clear that the President of the
University was doing this when
he answered the question. To
suggest otherwise is really
unfounded and a stretch.
In response to the second issue
you raised, ASI is cognizant of
how the Hollywood Squares
game is played. Our original
intent was to have only one
round i n each game, and yes,
we do realize that is a deviation
from the original game. Our first
game went much quicker than
anticipated, so we decided to
play three rounds in the second
game to extend the time duration; thus, there was a difference

I am simply disappointed that
your writer chose not to do the
research on the article and then
offered information to your
readers that was inaccurate. I
thought the integrity of the Pride
writers was higher.

A Response to Keith Speers Letter
This letter is a response to the
letter that was sent to the pride
by Keith Speers, regarding the
article that written on Cal State
Squares. I am the author of the
article and sat in the crowd the
day of the event. I wanted to
respond to your concerns in the
following way:
In response to your comment
about me not doing the research,
I have no need to find out where
you specifically got the answers
to your questions. Just as you
believed that you were lookiiig
to a reliable source when finding your answers, I believed I
was doing the same when asking
Rick Moore, who is public relations for the university, who the
mascot was of the university.
He said himself that the Tukwut
was the mascot. I asked specifically if the, the TUkwut, was the
same thing as the cougar and
was given the response of yes.
Rick Moore now claims that he
made a mistake and said that he
was unaware that the two things
were different. The fact that he
did not know what the mascot of

the position he is. In my article I
quoted his response to my question. That is what he said, even
if he is now saying that he was
mistaken. My quote was accurate. Furthermore, the contestant answered the question with
the response: "The Tukwut, the
cougar," implying that the two
were the same. You made no distinction to him to imply that they
were different. Although it may
not be in the rules of Hollywood
Squares to clarify, when even

have asked a bad question.
In regards to the first round

otherwise. President Gonzalez
had no business answering the
question wrong that the university was founded. It looks bad on
the part of the university for him
to not answer that correctly, and
he should have enough business
sense to know that, regardless
of the fact that it is occasionally
done on Hollywood squares.
It is absolutely not a stretch to
state the fact of what happened
at the game, and that's what I
did. I never gave my opinion on
the matter, but stated the fact
that it occurred. I did plenty
of research, and left out many
other mistakes that were made,
including multiple names being

�Response to Crystal Rodriguez Critique
In response to Crystal J.
Rodriguez on the "Separate
but Not Equal" article: I think
you are missing the point. I
don't think Melissa Reed has a
"Utopianistic" view of American
diversity. I think we can all
agree that tolerance of diversity
in America is not what it should
be. However, one way off
getting one step closer is to stop
alienating certain cultures by
lumping them together under the
heading of "Ethnic".
That says that cultures of
African, Mexican or Japanese
origin are different than "real"
or "normal" (read: white)
American culture. Literature
and Writing majors should not
be forced to take classes on
Ethnic Literature; they should
be forced to take classes on
American Literature, which by
definition should already include
different backgrounds. Another
option would be to not call any
class "American" and give them
all descriptive names such as

The conclusion leads to another
question. How does ASI or the

administration admits the errors

by those errors. Second, the
ASI or administration awards

equivalent award then those

adversely affecting those students already awarded. Third,
when having future competitions, the ASI or administration selects individuals that are
competent and can maintain the
integrity of the competitions.

Veterans' Association BBQ a Resounding Success
By JEFF BROWNLEE
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM veterans continued a
pattern of service last Monday
by providing fellow CSUSM
students with barbecued hot
dogs and hamburgers. A steady
stream of students satisfied
their appetites courtesy of the
CSUSM Veterans' Association
after 5 p.m. on Oct 7th in Founders Plaza.
Association barbecue is unique
in that the event actually preceded the association. In 2001, a
small group of CSUSM veterans
got together to develop an event
to benefit the campus. The result
of their cooperation was not only
the first barbecue, but also the
genesis of the Veterans' Association, which will hopefully
receive greater attention after the
success of this year's BBQ.

of the conference, Gary Taylor, a
San Marcos High School AVID
professor, explained that it's
"Trying to get AVID students
focused on what college would
be like." Taylor also added, "It's
a great opportunity for students
to see the college layout." Cathy
Munson, a San Marcos Middle
School AVID professor, said
that once these students get
into college, they might be the
only under-represented student
in their classrooms. However,
Munson explained that this
conference gives the students an
opportunity to be surrounded by
students who are just like them.
Jatziri Alarcon, a San
Marcos Middle School student,
described her experience at the
conference. "It's cool because
you get to know more about college and about what's better in
the future," Alarcon said.

Microsoft Shares its Future with CSUSM
By JASON PADILLA
Pride Staff Writer
Kerfoot's job involves traveling to large Microsoft customers
and telling them about the benefits of working with Microsoft,
and their new technologies to
come out in the future. The largest of these customers of Microsoft include Nissan, Qualcomm,
and many others. According tq
Kerfoot, the new technologies
that Microsoft plans to release
have a substantial involvement
with the Internet, and building what will be known as the
Digital Economy, or connecting
every business together.
Over 50 people showed up to
Academic Hall 115 Thursday
night to hear a little insight on
the future of Microsoft, presented by guest speaker Scott
Kerfoot. The presentation was
co-hosted by Cal State San
Marcos' own Alumni Association, and the Association Information Technology Professionals
(AITP). The Alumni Association

for even further growth. Navy
veteran and association member
Stan Johnson described the
association as being in an early
formative stage. Johnson said
the association is currently in the
process of developing a mission
statement and the association
members eventually hope to be
able to provide assistance to veterans and their families.
Some members of the CSUSM
Veterans' Association, such
as Treasurer Tom Watson, are
currently on active duty in the
military. Watson is participating
in the Marine Enlisted Com-
system and phone capabilities.
The Tablet PC is a slate-like
computer, with wireless networking built in for Internet access; it
will use a<pen instead of a mouse
for navigation. More advanced

beyond Forum Plaza, between
University Hall and the new
Arts Building, the location was
ideal for passing students to
observe their peers laughing and
having a great time. Overall,
the scene was light and happy,
and several people felt comfortable enough to stop and chat
with sideline spectators.
The competition consisted
of four classic events, each a
childhood favorite, yet with a
contemporary spin. The first
in a series of grueling feats of
skill was Speed Twister. A
member from each team battled
with one another simultaneously onfiveseparate Twister
mats. Whoever was the last one
standing on each one of the mats
won points for their team. This
was quickly followed by the old
camp favorite "Spin-'round-thebat-and-run" relay. During the
event, each member from every
team spun around seven times
with the bat on their forehead,
which was an oversized candle,
and then had to slalom their way
through a series of orange cones
to touch a flag. Sprinting back
to where they had begun was the
only way to tag the next teammate inline.
From there, the players moved
on to a condensed Frisbee Golf
match, where one member from
each team took turns throwing
a frisbee into a net trap about 20
yards away. Just as in regular
golf, the least amount of throws
won. After the adrenaline and
energy from the relay before, the
golf game quickly became organized chaos, with frisbees being
tossed randomly like graduation
caps.
Thefinalportion of the contest
was Speed Pumpkin Carving.
As a team, everyone had 10 minutes to create something artistic
from a lopsided gourd; it was not
merely speed that scored points,
but quality as well. Some simply
hacked out their Greek symbols,
while other teams such as PAN
went so f ar as to use a dragon
stencil to produce an eye-catching image.
Winners were announced
Thursday at 12 p.m. First place
was awarded to APSS, who
received $100 for their efforts.
Second place went to Sigma
Alpha Epsilon, who in turn won
$50. PAN won third place and
received $25. The prizes went
towards the club accounts.

The Exploration of Maternal B onds Exhibit
By RIA CUSTODIO
Staff Writer
Curiosity tears through the
imagination with an interesting
title like "Tight Teeth and A
Marvelous Cake."
Inspiring artist Anna O'Cain
reveals her aesthetic and tactile motivations, capturing the
essence of the maternal bond,
within her art. O'Cain mixes
visually stimulating, sensory
art with an ounce of maternal
flare in the pieces scheduled to
exhibit with the Arts and Lecture Series.
She brings life to art by con-
ceptualizing a box of mementos
from her mother. A bit of life's
instruction, a pinch of family
matters and juicy tidbits of
gossip demonstrate the range of
her art exhibit The art show is
scheduled to exhibit at Cal State

and will run through the end of

LETTER TO
THE EDITORS
Dëar
Pride,
I just wanted to write Chris
Martin about his review of
"Red Dragon" and ask him
why he believes that the film
is, for all intents and purposes,
a remake of "Manhunter?"
I find that to be absolutely
rediculous. When you remake
a film, you're simply updating the telling of it. Like with
"Psycho," they just added color
to Hitchcock's masterpiece.
Other remakes follow the
same plotting, but update it to
modern settings and the like.
With "Red Dragon," Brett
Ratner has made an adaptation of the novel of the same
title by Thomas Harris. That's
why the credits say based on
the novel by Thomas Harris,
not based on the film "Manhunter" by Michael Mann.
Mann's film is a much looser
adaptation than Ratners, and
rather inferior, in my opinion.
So, Mr. Thomas Harris expert,
do tell me if you made a mistake in what you Said, or if
you really believe that Ratner
was remaking "Manhunter".
I'd also like to know what you
thought of the ending of the
novel "Hannibal" compared
to the ending of the film "Hannibal."

exposición tiene como objetivo el
promover la idea de que el arte
puede llegar a formar una parte
integral para facilitar el desarrollo de una comunidad.

Se encuentra abierta al público
en general la exposición "El Arte
Defiende". Esta muy particular
exhibición de arte organizada
por el Taller de Arte Fronterizo
que dirige Michael Schnorr se
está presentando en la Galería de
Arte del Colegio Southwestern
en Chula Vista hasta finales de
mes. Se presentan trabajos de
niños y jóvenes de la comunidad
de Maclovio Rojas en Tijuana,
así como también de algunos
otros artistas que muestran en
sus obras las experiencias vividas dentro de la población.
Para estimular la creatividad
de los niños, Huato y Aguiñiga
les enseñan diferentes técnicas
de pintura. Aguiñiga expresó
que muchos niños piensan
que no son capaces de dibujar
o pintar un cuadro con valor
estético pero que después de
enseñarles cómo y ofreciéndoles los diferentes materiales
utilizados para que puedan
crear algo con facilidad y de
una manera divertida, los niños
se entusiasman y se les enciende el pensamiento creativo.
El objetivo de los instructores
es el de enseñarles una manera
de expresar sus emociones. "La
situación en Maclovio es muy
difícil. Algunos niños no tienen
casa, a otros los abandonaron sus
papás, no van a la escuela, andan
en las calles todo el día, cargan
cuchillos, se pelean entre sí, y
otros venden drogas para poder
comer. Entonces es importante
el proporcionar a los niños una
manera de expresión no verbal,
ya que cuando se expresan verbalmente son censurados, y a

plasman sus vivencias en muros
hechos de puertas de cocheras.
En cada uno de los trabajos
que se pueden apreciar en esta
exposición se encuentra el alma
frustrada, acongojada, sedienta, hambrienta, o dichosa de
un joven, de un niño o de un
adulto. Detrás de estas piezas se
encuentran los seres que denuncian injusticias y carencias de
todo tipo.

y junto con otros artistas voluntarios empezaron a construir
el Centro de Arte Comunitario

Elizabeth Huato y Tania Aguiñiga son dos voluntarias que
han estado asistiendo a impartir
clases de artes plásticas y pintura
a la comunidad de Maclovio
Rojas. Huato es estudiante de
Diseño Gráfico én el plantel de
Southwestern y Aguiñiga estudia
Diseño de Muebles en la Universidad Estatal de San Diego.
Actualmente el centro Aguascalientes cuenta con siete voluntarios y voluntarias. Cuatro de
ellos son estudiantes de arte, dos

ellos trabajan con la comunidad,

Para Huato, es muy importante
que ellos se puedan expresar a
través del arte, pero también es
uña forma para que ellos consideren el arte como carrera futura.
"El crear una forma de arte para
que la vendan y se puedan sostener económicamente es muy
bueno, pero más que nada es
pintar para desahogarse, ellos
pasan por problemas que uno
nunca se imagina. Para mí el
arte es expresión y para ellos
debe de ser también," expresó
Huato con una actitud optimista.
De acuerdo con Huato, su mejor
experiencia ha sido el pintar los
murales con el grupo de jóvenes.
"Todas las actividades eran en
la noche y era muy divertido,
parecía como que temamos
fiesta. Es uno de los mejores
recuerdos que tengo," expresó
Huato.
Huato también habló de la
pintura de un joven, Jonathan, la
cual realizó con colores de agua.
"La forma en que él la pintó me
dejó anonadada porque no me
imaginaba las cosas que él era
capaz de pintar. Es una pintura
abstracta, lo que es muy difícil
para un niño. Me impresionó el
talento que tiene, así que le sigo
dando material para que continúe
pintando." El arte abstracto de

A little after 1:00 p.m., at
Qualcomm Stadium in San
Diego, California the Chargers
and the Kansas City Chiefs
began a game that was a close
contest.
After a dazzling reverse from
#21 LaDainian Tomlinson to
#85 Tim Dwight the Chargers
opened tip the first quarter 7-0
against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The momentum was in favor
of the Chargers, however with
turnovers caused by fumbles
and interceptions, the Chiefs
capitalized on the errors and led
at the end of the second quarter
by 3, making the score 7 Chargers and 10 Chiefs.
As the third quarter progressed, the Chargers would
get very close to the red zone,
but were never able to score due

Just when the Chargers looked
as if they were going to lose the
game, the Charger's defense
racked up a key interception that
left their offense in striking distance of the Chiefs red zone.
The Chargers benefited from
the interception because Tomlinson was then able to rush twice
for the inzone and score another
touchdown that made the score

those two rushes by Tomlinson,

determination and second efforts
by the Chargers displayed their
will to win.
Towards the end of the third
quarter and into the fourth
quarter, the Chargers and Chiefs
battle back to back with touchdowns. The first strike was
delivered by Chiefs quarterback
Trent Green who increased the
Chief's score by seven, and then
the Charger's battled back with a
hand off to #80 Curtis Conway,
which led to his running touchdown. The score now was Chargers 21, Chiefs 24.
Now entering the fourth quarter the Chiefs connected with
a brilliant pass from Green to

First I want to say that the layout
of this week's issue was very
impressive. You're all doing
an awesome job and should be

We hadn't really considered

we all thought that it would be

This is in response to the article

Melissa Reed in the September

to diversityr I have to say I think
it is extremely distorted. Before
you jump on the defensive side
I want you to know that I truly
wish that our society were
indeed as tolerant of diversity as
you perceive it, but unfortunately
it is not. I noticed that you
yourself said in your article that,
"as a Literature and Writing
major... I have been forced to
take many classes that in one
way or another involve ethnic
studies and cultural diversity." If
the classes were not mandatory,
would you have taken them
simply out of scholarly interest?
Probably not which is why the
University chooses to make
these t roes of classes mandatory.
There are many people, just like
you, who instead of celebrating
cultural differences look at them
negatively as hindrances.
Recognizing and accepting
cultural differences is what
diversity is about. While you
may not feel more "connected"
to a member of another race
or ethnicity after class, you
should at least feel like you
have a better understanding
about their experiences and
perspectives. And we all need
to learn about these experiences
and perspectives as they are
extremely different depending
on one's ethnic background. We
have to be realistic and admit that
there is no such thing as a same
"across the board" American
experience in terms of ethnicity.
This is what classes like LTWR
450: Multiethnic American
Literature portray. To say that
classes like this are a slap in the
face — classes that give everyone
a chance to study literature
which is no doubt based upon the
different experiences, good and
bad, that result from us living
in a diverse society — is a total
disregard for diversity.
Literature" could not possibly fit
the course objective of LTWR
450. While this class' goal is to
compare writings from various
ethnic groups found here in
America, it also says that it " ...
examines texts through thematic
and/or historical frameworks
in order to view them as
products of varying cultural
and historical circumstances."
(pg. 268, CSUSM University
Catalog). Imagine trying to
study the American Civil War
from one ethnic perspective. It's
impossible because you have, the
perspective of the slave owner
and then that of the slave. The
fact that you do not understand
nor recognize cultural diversity
as celebrating our differences
in an equal manner, and does
not necessarily constitute any
separation, shows the lack of
progress in cultural diversity
and maybe even the failure of
the classes to do what they were
created to do.

you were, of the idea of ethnic
diversity. I have yet to be made
more aware of my multicultural
background than when I lived* in
New York. And while someone's
ethnic background might not
have been discussed at your
family's dinner table, believe
me, it was being discussed at
many others. Lastly I would
like to address your idea of
"incorporation". Let's first get
this straight. There is a huge
difference between incorporation
and assimilation. To just lump all
literature, or even culture under
the title of "American" would
be a disservice and a blatant
disregard to those members of
the many ethnicities that have
contributed to the greatness of
America.
You cannot expect people
to simply label themselves as

many perspectives as possible.
Instead of looking at diversity
as a separatist idea, accept it as a
necessary way to foster tolerance
and as a means to possibly
achieve real and total equality.
I applaud the University f or its
dedication to the idea of diversity
and encourage the powers that be
to do more to bring about an
enthusiastic understanding and
acceptance of our culturally
diverse society. I also challenge
CSUSM students to participate
in the understanding of diversity
by voluntarily taking classes that
foster acceptance and celebrate
our differences. By doing
this, more people will see that
these classes do not perpetuate
separatist views but instead at
best, create a sense of unity
and at the very least, produce a
higher level of understanding.

�"Pride on the Prowl" in Full Color
By JULIE MYRES
Pride Staff Writer
Claudia Pawlowski painting the Veterans* Association window. Photo by
Desmond Barca.
For the second time in homecoming history at Cal State San
Marcos, the window-painting
contest was a hit. The theme
chosen this year was simply
"Pride on the Prowl." Extravagant and creative paintings were
displayed on the windows around
Founder's Plaza all during homecoming week from Oct. 5th—13th.
The CSUSM Veterans Association painted the window that was
chosen as the winner of the 2002
window-painting contest by the
Homecoming Planning Committee.
Claudia Pawlowski and Justin
Knott were the artistic talent
that created the window painting
next to the coffee cart that won
the grand prize. Claudia, a Biology major CSUSM student, and
member of the CSUSM Veterans
Association, portrayed a cougar
on the prowl beside an American
Flag, as well as the theme boldly
stated at the top of the window.
Club, Alpha Xi Delta, Women's
Studies Student Association,
Asian Pacific Student Society,
Alpha Chi Omega, CSUSM
Veterans Association, and College Democrats were the student
organizations that participated in
this artistic adventure.

When an eagle feather falls,
a veteran dances close by and
protects it from being trampled
upon, according to the American Indian Student Alliance
(AISA). The theme of the 10th
Annual Tukwut Pow Wow, held
at California State University
San Marcos (CSUSM), offered
a glimpse of protection from
the traditions of generations
old and new by honoring passed
heroes. The Pow Wow gave
truth to the natural essence of
spirituality with the ambience
of ritual customs. The steady
beat of drums echoed through
the inner circle. The beat of the
center drum circle, led by Hale
and Co., pulsed with the traditional pace of honor.
Honor remained the key element of the Pow Wow's tradi-
Native American dancer at the Pow Wow.

The Pow Wow's powerful,
rhythmic procession gave life
to the honoring of heroes. An
amazing chorus of drums
thundered under the heat of
the heavy sun. American
Indians and on-lookers gathered at CSUSM to commemorate two inspiring leaders
who passed away, "Uncle"
Henry Rodriguez and Chet
Hunt. The Pow Wow honored
Rodriguez and Hunt for their
ever-vigilant support, exemplary
leadership and teachings.
Karin Giron-DeCrane said,
"OurHerpes have taught us many
lessons...to remember that we
never do anything alone."
The congregation of gatherers
stood in silence for a moment of
blessing led by the Pauma Mission Indian Tribe. The blessing
included a prayer for the honored, gave thanks for a wondrous
day, and prayed for the safety
of people. Once the blessing of
the inner circle concluded, only
Native American Indians entered
into the circle. Edmonds made
light of the situation by joking,
"If you are white and you enter
the blessed circle you will go
straight to hell."

An overwhelming majority
of Americans like their food
convenient, fast, and cheap, with
little concern given to health
and nutrition issues. Ideas about
what happens after the food is
swallowed seem to get lost in the
appealing prospect of having a
meal handed in through the car
window for less than a buck.
According to ABCnews.com,
"Residents of the United States
spend more on fast food a year
than they do movies, books,
magazines, newspapers, videos,
and records combined." This
amounts to over $110 billion
annually.
But as the nation grows more
obese and unhealthy, it may
be increasingly appropriate to
examine Americans' propensity
to support the fast food industry.
And support it they do. The office
of the Minnesota Attorney General noted, "There are more than
300,000 fast food restaurants in
the U.S." When considering that
the last official Census Bureau
(www.census.gov) count for the
U.S. population was 281,421,906,
this means there is one fast food
restaurant for about every 900
people in the country. At least
one quarter of them is apt to
stop in to one of these fast food
establishments for a meal at least
once per day, according to CBS
HealthWateh.

On Feb. 19th 1922, a true
American hero was born near
Basin'Creek Montana. George
Oiye had a happy childhood
and grew up visiting the historic
headquarters of the Missouri
-River, the starting point of the
Lewis and Clarke expedition.
Later, in his twenties, Oiye
attended Montana State College
where he studied mechanical
and aeronautical engineering.
In college, he also participated
in ROTC (Reserve Officers in
Training Corps) where he was
captain of the college rifle team.
He fit the perfect profile for a
man with a promising military
future, except for the fact that
this was 1941, the Japanese
had just bombed Pearl Harbor,
and George Oiye is a Japanese
American.
and military record, Oiye was
classified by the United States
government as a 4C, an enemy
unfit for military service. Of
this time, Oiye states, "I felt like
a man without a country." But
then, in 1943, President Roosevelt issued an order to rescind
the 4C order, thus allowing him,
and some 15,000 other Japanese
Americans, to reinstate their
active duty military status.
Oiye is a retired Staff Sergeant of the 442nd/522nd Regimental Combat Team, which
happens to be the most highly
decorated combat unit of its
size in United States Army history. Known for being the "Go
for Broke" regiment, because
of their tenacity and don't-holdback attitude, the 442nd and
the 522nd were comprised of
mainland Japanese Americans
and Japanese Hawaiians. The
regiment has been credited with
Despite his college academic breaking the "Gothic Line," an

points located in the mountains
north of Florence Italy. This
group of 'gung-ho Joes' has also
been credited with helping to
penetrate battle lines and securing many camps and sub-camps
throughout Europe. As a forward
observer, Oiye himself has been
credited with spotting an enemy
gun from an observation point
14,000 feet up and calling in
Naval artillery support from sea
to knock it out.
In all, his team participated
in 7 major ETO (European Theatre of Operations) campaigns
throughout Italy, France and
Germany, 5 of which Oiye was
directly a part. His team was also
instrumental in the rescue of the
'Lost Battalion,' where he and,
his fellow soldiers suffered 850
casualties to save a unit of 223
Texans.
Their
defining
victory
occurred when they liberated the
concentration camp survivors in
Dachau, Germany (the location
of Hitler's first concentration
camp). The irony of this particular episode is that while these
men were thousands of miles
away from home, freeing complete strangers from genocide,
many of their own families had
been involuntarily interned in
camps in the United States, due
to the Pearl Harbor tragedy.
On Thursday Oct. 3rd, George
Oiye spoke to Professor Dreama
Moon's COMM 330 Inter-cultural Communication class about
his experiences as an American
soldier both before and after
the war. He commented on the
strains of fighting with the Japanese Hawaiians - they and the
soldiers from mainland Japan
did not get along well due to cultural constraints. This, he said/
was worse than all the grenades
and bullets, because he had to
live with these men. For Oiye,.
mainland return was a fate worse
than battle.
The problem was that many
Americans simply could not
accept the fact that Japanese
Americans could have possibly
helped in winning the war. It was
so bad that even as a decorated
veteran with a degree in engineering, he could not get a job for
several years. But yet, after all of
the mistreatment he endured by
the same country whose values
he risked his life to protect, when
asked about his own identity as
an American, Oiye remarked
in a most stoic manner, "After
your first bayonet fight with
the enemy, you know you're an
American."
Now eighty years old, Oiye
is a retired engineer and public
speaker and can be seen in many
documentaries and television
interviews regarding inter-cultural experience during World
War II.

�Interview with Jonathan Poullard, Dean of Students
By GAIL TARANTINO
Pride Staff Writer

Jonathan Poullard describes
himself as a student advocate
and discussed the challenges and
goals that he faces as Associate Vice President for Student
A ffairs and Dean of Students at
CSUSM. Poullard, who has been
here since 2000, has a long list
of responsibilities that include
the student issues of conduct,
withdrawal, conflict resolution,
and student privacy issues, in
addition to recently acquired
responsibilities that include student support services and equal
opportunity programs.
Poullard has a master's degree
in Developmental Psychology
with an emphasis in early adult
education from Penn State. He
explained that one of his biggest goals is "to help students

In a previous profile from 2000,
Poullard discussed the importance of a "wholistic" environment on campus. For Poullard,
creating this environment means
that a campus should "deal with
all the components of a student's
life: academic, emotional, physical, and social"— and that if
a school "only deals with one
component it is not serving the
students well." *

students. Poullard addressed his
concern that the campus has not
done a very good job in educating students on how to resolve
disputes over grades and other
issues. Poullard said that students
should come to him for anything,
"And I mean anything," he said.
Upon getting the details of the
concern or grievance, his first
step is to call the appropriate
office and explain the student's
situation, after which Poullard
directs the student to the correct
office for resolution.

�B ehold t he Red D ragon
By CHRIS MARTIN
Pride Staff Writer
Everybody'3 favorite serial
killer returned to the silver
screen Friday Oct. 4th in theatres across the country, thanks
to a brilliant portrayal by Sir
Anthony Hopkins as the insidious Dr. Hannibal "the cannibal" Lecter. Although some
variation exists, "Red Dragon,"
directed by Brett Ratner, is
for all intents and purposes
a remake of Michael Mann's
1986 cult classic Manhunter.
Both films have been adapted
from the Thomas Harris book
"Red Dragon," and accurately
represent the novel, albeit in
different ways.
With its dark and alien
cinematography and score,
Manhunter grittily explores
the deranged mind of a killer
and the man that hunts him,
whereas the more modern
installment comes equipped
with a star studded cast, goes
into more depth about the characters and their backgrounds
and offers a more true representation of the book.

When a series of savage
murders occur, FBI agent Will
Graham (played by Edward
Norton) is brought out of retirement by FBI section Chief, Jack
Crawford (played by Harvey
Keitel), to help catch the killer.
The villain, Francis Dolarhyde
(played by Ralph Fiennes), possesses a particularly dangerous
combination of intelligence
and lunacy accompanied with
a rather intimidating physical
demeanor. Graham realizes
early on that he is going to
require assistance in order to

Although I didn't
get a strong feeling
of semblance among

think that the performances by Hopkins

least. Even though the
role of Will Graham

Norton's performance
was somewhat uninspired. The supporting cast did, however,
add a great deal of
depth to this film. An
especially compelling
performance by Emily
Watson as Dolarhyde's
unassuming love interest was a breath of fresh air.
Anthony Heald as Dr. Chilton,
the asylum director, and bumbling antagonist to Lecter was
hilarious once again. Philip Seymour Hoffman as the dirt bag
tabloid journalist Freddy Lounds
constituted the perfect guy you
love to hate.
Whatever this film lacked,
as far as performances are
concerned, it made up for in
suspense and story line. As I
consider myself somewhat of an
expert on the work of Thomas
Harris, I must implore you to
not only see this film, but also
"Manhunter," "The Silence of
the Lambs," and "Hannibal." If
you liked these films even a little
bit, read the books, because they
shed light on the formation of
the character's personalities in
the realest sense, the way Harris
intended.

Knott's Scary Farm Celebrates 30 Years of Fears
By AMBER ROSSLAND
Pride Staff Writer
As the 30th annual Knott's
Scary Farm Halloween Haunt
kicked off this past weekend,
ghosts, ghouls, and mummies
alike roamed the alleyways in
search of fear. The Halloween
Haunt has come a long way from
where it began back in 1973,
with only a few employees in

show
includes a number of
popular songs acted out
on stage. The audience
cheered on as women
danced around poles
and acted out the popular Nelly song, "It's Getting' Hot in Here," and
if you know the words,
then you can imagine
what came next. This
show is definitely not for
children due to the adult
themes, content, and humor.
Nearly 52,000 people attended
the opening weekend, with
numbers expecting to double as
the month nears Halloween. To
accommodate guests for the celebration of its 30th birthday, new
shows and mazes were added to
the haunting line-up.
Other shows include bizarre
circus acts, tortuous stunts, musical numbers, and dark comedy.

The

Blood Bayou, Army

offer screams and chills around

thrive on the fear of more traditional characters, such as werewolves, vampires, and aliens.
The most crowded attractions
seem to be the Army of the
Underworld and Red Moon Massacre, so if visitors plan to go,
they should hit those attractions
first. Furthermore, the longest
lines during opening weekend
did not exceed an hour and a
half and some lines were short
enough to walk immediately in.
Although there have been
more monsters in years past,
the Halloween Haunt continues
to get the job done. Nowhere
else in Southern California are
there more screams, curses,
and haunts. Halloween Haunt
is open every Thursday through
Sunday until Nov. 2nd, and closing hours vary depending on the
day. The cost is $38 for pre-sale
tickets and $42 at the door. For

The San Diego Asian Film
Festival (SDAFF) opened its
doors to collaborative passions,
desires, characters, and the
inspiring direction of artistic
creation. The SDAFF created a
controversial buzz, making this
year's festival an overall success.
Lee Ann Kim, executive director, demonstrated her talents by
creating a booming non-profit
film festival in order to showcase
Asian artistic talents.
Opening night began when
Kim emphatically spoke of her
number one project, the SDAFF.
With a slow beginning, the
SDAFF opened three years ago
with little notice but instead with
a dream to establish an environment of support and collective
collaboration of artistic creation.
Kim excitedly spoke of the growing success of a film festival in
a notoriously difficult locale.

substantial risk in the making of
BLT by using his credit cards as
a primary source for the budget.
Due to the difficult budget size,
creativity and detailed planning played a large factor in the
making of the movie. Lin and
the crew envisioned a film for an
Asian cast to break through stereotypical barriers. BLT has the
potential to open a wide venue

Dear Pride Editorial Staff:
I was reading through the most
recent edition of The Pride, and I
was shocked to see that the paper
now has a Spanish section. I was
upset for several reasons to see
that this section is written completely in Spanish.
First of all, the Spanish Section
completely defies the purpose of
journalism. It is a newspaper's
job to effectively communicate
the news in a way that can be
understood to those with an
elementary level reading skill.
One might assume that everyone
at the university surpasses this
level of reading comprehension,
but it is unacceptable to assume
that everyone fluently reads
Spanish.
It does not take a genius to
realize that there is a significant population of students that
do not speak or read Spanish,
and I find this offensive and
discriminatory. I am part of the
student population that does not
speak Spanish, and because of
this I am unable to understand
even the titles of the articles
because they too are in Spanish.
The content of the Spanish
Section includes information
concerning the Latino community. The Pride staff has alienated
a portion of readers by assuming
that the non-Spanish speakers or
readers are not interested in the
news in this section. I understand
that here at CSUSM a large portion of the student population has
English as a second language.
These students were driven* to
learn a second language so that
they could have the same opportunities as English speaking
students, and because of their
hard work, obtained a level of
competency that allowed them
acceptance into the university.
the English language that is commonly spoken in our academic
community. I see this section
as a problem because myself, as
well as other students, have been
excluded from reading a section
of the school newspaper—a publication that should be available
for all students to understand.
The Spanish section of The
Pride has disregarded the concept of equal opportunity, an
area that the Latino community
has struggled with for so long.
Non-Spanish speakers are marginalized by this section, and if
any group should be sympathetic
to this effect I would expect it to
be this community.
I see the same problem having
a German section or Asian section strictly written in those
languages in the newspaper as
well. The bottom line here is that
this section of the newspaper discriminates against the non-Spanish speaking students at CSUSM

Lead Editor
¡Hola a todos! Primero que
nada quisiera agradecer a todos
los lectores de los artículos en
español de The Pride y a todos
aquellos que nos han felicitado
por jesta sección. Esta sección
al parecer ha creado algunas
inconformidades. I*o cual me
hace go back to business or to
be more specific yet to respond
to a recent letter received by the
editorial staff.
I, Martha Sarabia, currently
one of two lead editors of The
Pride as well as the editor of the
Spanish section of our student
newspaper want to clarify any
misunderstandings created by
having a Spanish section in The
Pride. More specifically, the
letter I am responding to was
sent by one of our fellow students. I think it deserves to be
answered. (I would also like to
point out that I know this student
and I really like her. Last year
she was a member of The Pride
staff. So, hi Amy!)
Before I answer Amy's letter, I
have a couple of things tp say by
way of a preface: Spanish is my
native language. The first understandable words I ever said in my
life were pronounced in Spanish.
This language is therefore a very
big part of who I am today. This
is why it is a privilege for me
to promote my language to the
CSUSM community. It is unfortunate that some are taking this
as a sign of discrimination. This
was never our intention. But, oh
well, what can we do? We can't
please everyone. But now some
basic points:
many non-native speakers in our
school that are studying Spanish,
many of them even pursuing a
Spanish major or minor. Then
there's the group that studied
abroad in Spain during this past
summer: 90% were non-native
speakers. I know this because
I was part of this program. It
feels great to know that so many

I believe that the intent of
the editors who put the section
together is good, but I think that
the same articles can be relayed
in English without taking away
f rom the content or message
behind the stories. It is not an
unreasonable request that all
students at CSUSM be able to
read the articles in the school
paper, and t he only resolution I can see in this situation
would be to include the same
articles in English side by side
with those written in Spanish.
the Spanish-speaking community instead of just what
I have written as an individual? (When you wrote for
The Pride were you representing the English-speaking
community?) Whatever I do
and write should be seen,
criticized, and/or analyzed
regardless of the group I
belong to. You are denying
me the right to have what I
write read from an individual
perspective instead of having
everything that I am count
before my writing.
This leads to my fifth point:
You mentioned, "if any group*
should be sympathetic to this
effect I would expect it to be
this community." I have news
for you. The Latino community is not in charge or in
any way responsible for this
section. It was the decision
of The Pride editorial team.
Simply because I belong to
this group and I am in charge
of this section does not mean
that whatever I do represents
the Latino community or is
something that the Latino
community wants me to do.
To suggest this is a misrepresentation. Why? Because I
am just one person and one

I am writing to urge you to
use your voice, because— when
enough people speak, our leaders
listen. President George Bush has
been gradually taking on more
power in the name of the War on
Terrorism, and at the same time
removing more of our personal
freedoms. Now he wants to go to
war, whether the rest of the world
agrees or not. Do you have an
opinion about the War on Iraq?
Then say it — to our leaders. Our
right to f ree speech is precious.
We must exercise it to preserve it.
This is what I have done in the
last two months, and you can do
any part of this and feel better
about yourself as a participant
in this democracy: I telephoned
my president, congressman, and
senators. I sent them e-mails. I
wrote them letters.
I stood on the corner of Quince
and East Valley Parkway --in
front of my Congressman's office
with a sign in my hand, waving a t
the traffic (and they honked back).
You are'entitled to your own
opinion, and to expressing it. My
opinion is that my government
bombs and invades other countries to pursue its own interests;
my government kills civilians;
destroys land, and ruins cities, my
government says: "We are punishing the Bad Guy" - but I don't
see the Bad Guy getting hurt; I
see everyone else suffering. Do
you want your government to
act this way? I say to it: "Stop!"

enrolled sixty-eight percent of
the previous spring. I think the
improved continuation rate could
be seen as a positive reflection of
the quality of education our students are receiving here."
In addition to the large increase
in the percentage of enrolled students last spring who continued
in the fall, the reason for the
increase in students is based on
other factors as well. According
to Riehl, "The additional construction of the campus and the
growing public image are some of
the main attractions to first time
freshmen. The weakened job
economy and tighter job market
might be partially responsible for
the improved continuation rate
from last spring. All campuses in
the CSU system are experiencing
similar unexpected growth, so it
is a statewide phenomenon."
Compared to the Fall 2002,
there were about 700 who
applied, and now the school
already has 1,200 prospective
students who have applied for
Spring 2003. CSUSM is currently budgeted for nearly 7,400
students on an annual average.
The unofficial count on students
for this semester is 7,600 and
this will be either confirmed or
changed with the census count
that was held at the end of September and will be released in
early October. Riehl did not say
what they will do if the number
of students admitted reaches
school capacity.
Although the requirements to
get into CSUSM are the same,
Riehl said that there is still a
need to remind students interested in attending Cal State San

sure that they have all the docu-

This application deadline
could soon be a permanent part
of the CSUSM application process. Students looking to apply
for Fall of 2003 should apply
between Oct. 1st to Nov. 30th of
this year to be assured consideration for admission. There are no
plans for preferential enrollment
at this time, and both transfer
students as well as incoming
freshmen will be viewed as
equals in the admittance process, Riehl said. Applicants in
all class levels, who meet the
requirements, will be admitted as long as their application
arrives before the deadline.

A professor who exceeds
expectations, who has made
contributions to the university
deemed as exceptionally
valuable, is a Brakebill
Distinguished Professor Award
candidate.
Every year the Academic
Senate designates a nominating
committee to select one faculty
member to be recognized by this
award. This year, nominations
are due to the committee by
Thursday, Nov. 7. Full time
and part time Cal State San
Marcos faculty are eligible to be
nominated by current or former
students, by colleagues, or by
staff members.
For those interested in
submitting a nomination in
recognition of an exceptional
professor, the following
information may be useful, as
laid out by the university official
procedural guide, found at:
http://lynx.csusm.edu/policies/
procedure_online.asp?ID=90.
The individual nominating
a professor must submit a
letter to the Senate Office
documenting how the nominee
is known, a statement of her/his
qualifications as an outstanding

courses taken from the nominee.

Del Mar Scream
By MELISSA REED
Pride Staff Writer
The all-new "3-D Scream
Zone" will be opening October 4,
at the Del Mar "Scaregrounds."
The Scream Zone is the largest
haunted attraction in San Diego,
featuring 12,000 square feet of
3-D thrills. Each year the event
features a new theme, and this
year it is "Gothic-Frankenstein."
This year the Scream Zone
was designed and hand painted
by former Disney 3-D expert,
R.J. Ogren. The new 3-D effects
take the Scream Zone production
to a whole new level. Not only
do the 3-D effects seem real, but
also there are ghosts and Goblins
that may just reach out and grab
you. The Scream Zone has hired
23 actors who have spent hours
rehearsing and who often put on
more than fifty pounds of makeup and costumes on order to portray zombies and ghosts.
As a warning to those who
are fearless enough to go to the
event, the Scream Zone is not
intended for children under the
age of ten, and is really geared
towards teenagers and adults.
If the little ones are screaming for a ghoulish adventure, a
special Kids' Day "Fun Zone"
is planned for October 27 from
1 to 4 p.m. The Fun Zone will
include pumpkin carving, costume contests, candy, prizes, and
of course trick-or-treating.

Usually when one goes to the
movies, one expects to observe
a series of dramatized situations
and hopefully be entertained by
the story, character development,
musical score and visual stimuli.
Most of us like to go to the
movies to laugh, or to lose ourselves in a larger than life adventure or romance, and sometimes
we just want to kill a few hours
in a dark air-conditioned space
with comfy seats. Das Experiment is definitely not a film for
someone looking for this sort of
light entertainment.
Das experiment is Germany's
official entry for Best Foreign

Rush: Vapor Trails Tour
By KURT MAYER
Pride Staff Writer
The legendary Canadian musical trio Rush performed live at
the Coors Amphitheater in Chula
Vista on Wednesday, September
25. The show was nearly sold
out, and the fans were ecstatic
to see one of the greatest performing bands of the last three
decades - alive, well, and rocking out on tour once again.
Rush is such an esteemed
force in the music industry that
no opening band was required;
truthfully, no band could hope to
compare! Rush came on stage at
8:15 and played until 11:30. The
music was synchronized with
hundreds of lights and lasers.
Video cameras broadcast closeups of the musicians on three
enormous projection screens,
layered with custom animations
and ambience effects.
On these screens, fans
watched, awestruck, as bassisi
Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex
Lifeson performed intricate
acoustic and electric guitar
work, as well as keyboard work.
Drummer Neil Peart brought
fans to a standing ovation with a
fifteen-minute drum solo on his
360-degree rotating drum kit.
Awesome!
The Coors Amphitheater is
acoustically designed and padded
with sound-reflective walls to
accommodate full symphony
orchestras, so the sound quality
was perfect. New songs like
"Earthshine" and "Ghost Rider"
rang out into the night with the
utmost clarity, as did classics like
"The Trees" and "Red Sector A"
and even the famous 1970's hit
"Working Man".
A Cal State San Marcos student who lives in Chula Vista,
but did not attend the show, said
he could hear the bass clearly
from his yard. Indeed, the canyons and desert winds of Chula
Vista probably enabled sound
waves to resonate as far as Impe- talent to rival that of Ludwig von

�Hostility Between Skateboarders and Inline Skaters
trees." No matter what conflict
is at hand, two wrongs do not
make a right. Therefore, the
only result of the argument is
the escalation of the conflict
that often turns into street
fights.
Really! Is skateboarding
harder than inline skating or
vice versa? I believe they
are two different sports, and
anyone who tries to say which
sport is better than the other is
clearly an idiot who is overgeneralizing.
Little do these people, who
create conflict, know that they
are wasting their time. Instead
offighting,they could be practicing, having fun, and not
worrying about which sport is
better. They overlook the fact
that when they are skateboarding or inline skating they are
free, not bound to the inline
skater or skateboarder role of
hating each other because their
equipment is different. Actu-
ally, skateboarders and inline
skaters are very similar to one
another. They are both involved
in a new revolution of sports, and
like to roll around to have fun.
So why is it necessary to
repeat the cycle of argument
and disgust for one another? I
know the answer. Skateboarders
and inline skaters conflict with
one another because they do not
take the time to acknowledge the
person behind the equipment,
Many lack the perspective to

I am sick and tired of being
told to buy a skateboard, being
verbally attacked^ or often col-"lidtng with skateboarders who
mean to harm me just because I
am an inline skater.
I am also sick and tired of
inline skaters getting so upset at
skateboarders as to sink to their
level and be the ones to start
conflict or even contribute to
it. If there is an overt discrimination to be seen in society, it
is between skateboarders and
inline skaters.

or at a skate park, and I see a
skateboarder, purposely^ try. to

me. No one person likes to be in
fear, however inline skaters must
put up with it all the time. Not
to say that skateboarders don't
have the same feeling I have,
but they are less likely to experience fear, because there are
more skateboarders than inline
skaters, which is apparent in
society - ask yourself how many
more skateboarders, on average,
do you see as opposed to
inline skaters?
Insults that begin with
"Our sport is harder than
yours, fruitbooter" only
further demonstrate how
skateboarders are acting
in a discriminatory
manner toward inline
skaters. However, the
responses made in retaliation to the skateboarders by the inline skaters
are the worst. These

Pride Staff Writer
The food in the Dome makes
me want to start packing my own
lunch before I come to school. I
know many of you feel this way
too, given the tasty choices the
Dome has to offer. We need a
little variety in our food court
selection, to say the least. Let's
break it down. We've got a
soup/salad bar, Casa Del Sol
(Mexican/Burger joint), Nana's
pizza and subs (the only food
remotely worthy of consumption), and last and certainly least,
House of Tsang.
We've all heard about the overthe-summer renovations (fresher
foods, bigger selection) that were
to make the Dome more palatable
for the students this fall. Student
Gail Tarantino shared with me a
personal account of what these
"improvements" exactly entailed.
"I went to Casa Del Sol to try the
new baked chicken plate that
they serve. The server pulled a

with cafeterias containing Taco
Bells, McDonalds, and other
well-known food stands. Why
are CSUSM students subjected to
sub-par food when other college
students are actually enjoying
their meals?
We are students driven by our
appetites. And what do we get
between classes? Overcooked,
marginal at best, Mexican and
Chinese foo3. I'll give Nana's a
little credit since it's pretty fresh
and relatively palatable pizza and
sandwiches. But when you sum
it all up, that's really all there is.
A person can only eat so much
pizza before they begin to desire
something more. Yet we all stand
in line, like a bunch of Russians
in a communist bread line. What
else can we do?
Rick Moore, Director of Communications at CSUSM, had this
to say about the subject: "I know
nothing about it, except that I've
heard the matter was investigated
and the major companies that
looked into it found that there
are not enough students here yet
to support their minimum sales
requirement."
After trying all ten items that
are on the menu throughout the
past two semesters, I feel compelled to ask, "Where is the nearest Taco Bell?" There are other
colleges in the San Diego area
It looks like new and improved
food is a diminutive priority
thus far. Enrolling new students
necessitates more parking spaces.
When this is running smoothly
we may finally have enough
students, which would then allow
us the ability to get more familiar
food stands. However, this probably won't happen for quite some
time, so hey! Have some pizza!

Catching the Wave of Success
By CHRIS MARTIN
Pride Staff Writer
Last Saturday at 8:00 a.m. at
North Ponto in the north end of
Carlsbad campgrounds, CSUSM
held its annual Surf Team tryouts. Recognized by the National
Scholastic Surfing Association
(NSSA), the surf team at CSUSM
placed fourth overall last season.
Under the rules of the NSSA, six
shortboard men and one shortboard woman constitute a team.
Making the final cuts will be

of the team and the large pool of

the NSSA National Team from
1985-1987. At USCD, where she

National Championship. In 1998,
she graduated from UCLA with
a PhD in mathematics, but before
leaving she had accumulated two
more NSSA individual national
championships. Puha then came
to CSUSM in the fall of 1999.
Puha has stated, "I am thrilled to
have been able to help in facilitating the development of a surf
team here on campus." But she
also gives credit to ASI and her
team, "because without them this
wouldn't be possible. With such
an exemplary record, along with
some very talented surfers, it's
quite possible for the Cougars to
rank even higher than last year."
The surf team and other
CSUSM teams like it are studentrun and managed by ASI ( Associated Students Inc.). Therefore,
like any other ASI club sport,
the team has three player representatives, which include Dave
Kincannon, George Demarino,
and Dustin Franks. The representatives have worked with ASI
to officially register the team,
organize the tryouts, and help
raise funds.
CSUSM is a part of the NSSA
Southwest Conference and will
begin competition on October
27th in Ventura, California.

Fire in the Skies
Over Southern California
By CHRIS MARTIN
Pride Staff Writer
Last Thursday around 7:30
p.m., Vandenberg Air Force
Base, located just north of Santa
Barbara, was running a routine
ICBM (Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile) test.
The missile sent was an
unmanned Minute Man III, and
its destination was the Marshal
Islands, thousands of miles away
in the central Pacific Ocean.
Weather experts say that the
time of the launch and the clear
weather conditions, played a significant role in creating the "twi-
light affect" that many people
saw that night. As the missile
climbed to enormous altitudes,
the vapor trail left behind the
missile froze. Consequently, the
rays coming from the still setting sun caught the frozen vapor
particles, sending off a reddishwhite hue.
Matty, from the Matty Show
on 91X radio said that the United
States Air Force (USAF) does
inform the media about missile
launches that are supposed to
occur in the area. However, he
stated that the releases regarding the launches are very vague.
Apparently the USAF told 91X
that there would be a launch
sometime in September between
1:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Not only
is this a very broad window for
a scheduled test, but it was also
late, albeit only by a half an
hour.
Many students leaving Academic Hall noticed the event,
and there was a strange mixture
of emotions in the air. It was a
combination of apprehension,
awe, and amazement. Only after
they realized that there was no
apparent danger did it become
apparent that the event was
merely both an awesome and
powerful spectacle.

Tough Time with Skate Parks in San Marcos
By STEVEN ZAMORA
Pride Staff Writer
There are no skate parks in
San Marcos, leaving the entire
population of extreme sports
participants, including skateboarders, inline skaters, and
bikers, with no legal place to
practice their sport.
"There are no future plans
for a skate park in San Marcos,"
explained Mayor of San Marcos
F.H. "Corky" Snitb. However,
Smith alluded to a new public
park being built off of the 78freeway exit at Nordahl Road
that should be complete by Janu-
ary 2003.
At the new San Marcos park,
there would be an assigned area
(approximately half the size of a
basketball court) for local children and teenagers to ride their
equipment. In this area, there
would be no ramps, rails, or
ledges to ride or grind on - that
leavesflatground. This new park
will not be a skate park because
it will lack ramps, rails, and
ledges, thus leaving public property as one of the few options
for extreme sports participants
to use.
substantial amount of vandalism on our property. Such an
example of vandalism is displayed in this photograph of a
ledge at CSUSM. The marks
on the ledge can be from bikers,
inline skaters, or skate boarders.
However, the fact remains that
public property is being damaged, which is a common complaint that Bill Schramm, from
the city of San Marcos Community Service department, is
hearing from the San Marcos
community.
Schramm asserted that in the
future of San Marcos, as many
At CSUSM, there has been a as 24 new parks could be built,
that may or may not include
skate parks. He also said that
construction of a skate park
would not be worth the hassle,
because local children and
teens would still practice their
sports on public property, even
if skate parks were built.
However, Robert Levienos
of San Marcos, who is a professional inline skater, feels that a
new skate park in San Marcos
would encourage him and other
extreme sports participants to
refrain from practicing on public
property, because they would
have a place to legally skate.
If there are no plans, there

CSUSM is well known for its
cultural diversity, both in education and in population, and it is
this unique quality that enhances
the campus' cultural experience.

�El cónsul general de Mexico visita clase de negocios
Por SOLEDAD ACUNA
Redactara de The Pride
El viernes 20 de septiembre
de las 11:00 a.m. hasta las 12:
50 p.m., el Cónsul General de
México en San Diego Rodulfo
Figueroa, visitó la clase SSM
482D (Manejo del sector de
servicio) "Dentro de la silla del
ejecutivo" enseñada por el Dr.
Tray Nielson y David Dennett.
El motivo de su visita a la clase
fue para hablar de sus experiencias, retos y éxitos obtenidos a lo
largo de su carrera como persona
de negocios al contestar las preguntas del público asistente en
ACD 102. Para Carrie Maxwell,
estudiante de SSM 482D, esta
clase es básicamente para ayudar
a los estudiantes con licenciatura
en negocios a tener más conocimiento en esa área.
Figueroa obtuvo su maestría
en Negocios en Ucrania. Él
trabajó como contador privado
y como contadorfiscalen el
gobierno de México. Además,
Figueroa en su trabajo como
cónsul ha vivido en cuatro países
diferentes incluyendo los Estados Unidos.
El miedo, para Figueroa, es
el peor enemigo de cualquier
persona. El cual, de acuerdo con
él, se debe reconocer que existe,
pero al mismo tiempo manejarlo y superarlo. Esto cambiará
la vida de las personas que lo
hagan.
mayor reto en su vida ha sido
entender lo que pasaba alrededor de él y lo que pasaba en el
mundo en la época de los 70s
cuando la vida fácil que conocía
cambio de repente.
Figueroa expresó que su
mayor error sería mezclar las
emociones con la razón. También dijo a los estudiantes que
para evitar los errores y tener
éxito en la vida personal y profesional se necesita tener humildad
para reconocer que se cometió
un error y estar en contra de la
codicia.
A Figueroa se le pidió un consejo por el público asistente para
balancear la vida personal con
la profesional. Él contestó que
él era una persona egoísta y que
si tenía que trabajar en domingo
lo hacía pero que le gustaba
respetar su vida privada y que si
lo invitaban a jugar golf, se iba.
De acuerdo con Figueroa, el
También dijo que siempre trataba de combinar su vida privada
con su trabajo, siempre buscando
la manera de estar cerca de su
familia.
Otro de los consejos dados por
Figueroa fue que las personas
deben de ser ellos mismos y
escuchar pero no creer todo lo
que escuchen. Él añadió que hay
una razón para todo, e invitó al
público a cuestionarse y a abrirse
a los demás.

todo en contra de las mujeres Muchas de estas mujeres
asesinadas y
desaparecidas
trabajaban en maquiladoras,
usualmente de noche, para poder
ganar un sueldo y darles de
comer a sus familias. Tristemente
para muchas de ellas, debido a la
falta de empleo en el país, esta
era su única opción de trabajo.
Esto me hace recordar otro punto
por el que Fox todavía no ha
cumplido, y eso que ya ha tenido
dos años en la presidencia. Me
refiero a la pobreza que se ha
incrementado en los últimos dos
años debido a la falta de empleo

debido a la complejidad del caso.
Sobre las promesas de Fox, como
decimos en México solo me resta
decir que "de lengua me como

e internacional, no hay más de 30
muertes resueltas. Además, de
los pocos sospechosos detenidos
de cometer estos asesinatos, hay
grandes dudas sobre la verdad de
su culpabilidad ya que muchos
los consideran chivos expiatorios
que el gobierno ha usado para
aparentar resolver los casos
cuando en realidad esto no es
cierto.
En lugar de estar perdiendo el
tiempo pidiéndole al presidente
Bush por una amnistía para
que más mexicanos puedan
venir a trabajar a EE.UU., Fox
debería de atender mejor la
situación interna y caótica de
México. Debería de establecer
un mejor gobierno con una
justicia verdadera al igual que
abrir más fuentes de trabajo para
evitar que sus conciudadanos
tengan que abandonar su país y
en la mayoría de las ocasiones
a sus familias. Entiendo que un
presidente no puede cambiar
décadas de corrupción y
malfunción social, política y
económica; pero, el esfuerzo
que un presidente haga durante
su gobierno, definitivamente
ayudará mucho a mejorar la
situación en el futuro.
Hace alrededor de dos meses,
las familias de todas estas
mujeres asesinadas y perdidas,
pidieron justicia para encontrar a
los culpables de tantas muertes, y
ayuda para encontrar a aquellas
todavía
desaparecidas.
Sin
embargo, esto pareció no haber
sido escuchado por la justicia
mexicana y mucho menos por
Fox ya que todavía son muy pocos
los culpables o sospechosos
acusados de tantas muertes.
Mi mensaje para el presidente
D e acuerdo con cifras oficiales
publicadas por la prensa nacional Fox es que empiece por demandar
en México, antes que en ningún
otro país, las violaciones de
derechos humanos al igual que
los crímenes contra las mujeres,
que tristemente no sólo acento
o pasan en Chihuahua sino en
muchos otros estados mexicanos
y
que
sean
penalizados
duramente y justamente por la
ley. En lugar de exigir que otros
países hagan esto, ponga usted
el ejemplo para entonces poder
tener derecho y la desvergüenza
de exigirlo en otros países.
Como ciudadana mexicana
preocupada por la situación en
mi país y como ciudadana del
mundo, exijo que estas muertes
y desapariciones no queden
impunes y que los culpables
sean encontrados y llevados
a la justicia verdadera, que
también se necesita establecer en
México. Si ni siquiera usted hace
respetar los derechos civiles de
las mujeres en su propio país,
¿qué cara tiene para exigir que
otros lo hagan? Ponga un buen
ejemplo ante sus colegas en lugar
de exigir algo que ni siquiera
usted hace por las personas de
su país. N o se olvide que el buen
presidente por su país empieza.

�Marilyn Manson Paints In Watercolor
D»,y Drcx /nxTn d ARCA
B n ESMOND B a d p a
Pride Design Editor
Marilyn Manson came to Hollywood last weekend to exhibit
for the first time over 50 of his
watercolor paintings. The event
was held at the Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibition on Hollywood Boulevard, and drew art
collectors as well as thousands
of fans each waiting up to five
hours to meet Manson, engage
in some light chitchat, and
shake Manson's hand. The event
entitled "The Golden Age of the
Grotesque", which by the way is
the title of Manson's new album
in progress, ran from Thursday
to Saturday. I arrived on Friday
at 10 p.m., by then nearly half the
painting were marked sold. The
paintings ranged from $1,000 to
$50,000. Over all it was quite an
event, with a parade of humanity
ranging from Manson and his
beautiful entourage all decked
out in immaculate wardrobe
and make up, to art collectors to
Goth rockers, punks, to regular
Joes. On Thursday, actors Sean
Penn and Jason Lee attended the
exclusive engagement.
Manson's paintings were reminiscent of 19th centuries German
expressionism, many of which
were similar to stylistically to the
work of Egon Shiele. Among the
self portraits
and portraits
of celebrities
including his
significant
other Dita Von
Tooco were subjects tVint were

Teese,
clearly intended as social satire.
The satirical paintings included
a hermaphrodite nude of Hitler,
a version of Superman entitled
Ubermensch and a self-portrait
in which Manson depicts himself
as a creepy version of Mickey
Mouse.
Thought the event was free, in
order to meet Manson and get an
autograph, fans had to purchase
one of Manson's limited editions,
lithographs or posters, the cheapest ones starting at $20 apiece.
One of Manson's fans, Julia
Velasco of Pomona, complained
that she had to spend $160 in
order for everyone in her party
to meet Manson. Though some
of the attendees were irritated
by the commercialism associated with the event, most seemed
appreciative. Outside, I talked to
Lexa Vonn, of the rock group
Ophelia Rising. Vonn was handing out CDs to promote her band
and commended Manson for his
loyalty to his fans. Concerning Manson's paintings, Vonn
Pointed out that they look much
better in person than on the web.
Another fan I talked to, Naokol
Matsumoto, told me that she
came to the U.S. two years ago
to learn English for the express
purpose of communicating with
Marilyn Manson.

Manson had this to say about
his exhibition: "I paint scabs.

often framed for crimes they

in jails that are owned by the
Bourgeois who treat them like

And in reference to his upcoming album under the same name
Manson says, "the understanding of my art is only the sad
product of journalism. Fuck
art. I am art." Currently there
are not show dates available for
Manson's upcoming tour
On his influences, Manson
had this to say, "My inspiration
for this record came from historic parallels to my own present
position in popular culture. Most
notably, I found myself fascinated with the overwhelming
imaginative, sexually-depraved
artistic chaos that just bled from
some of history's greatest minds
as Berlin reached its creative
extreme peak. The unfortunate
onset of rigid control and conformity that brought Berlin to
its fiery end seemed to almost
mirror today's less violent, but
equally ignorant censorship and
Manson is much more than just
a shock rocker, as he is so often
referred to as in the media. I've
read his autobiography, listened
to his albums, seen his music
videos, listened to interviews,
and now I've seen his paintings. Listening to Manson talk,
it is evident that he is extremely
intelligent and articulate. Given
the range of his artist: interests
and ability, the fact that he has
had such a widespread influence
on pop culture as well as rallied
himself into a lucrative industry,
isn't very surprising. The term
Shock Rocker, doesn't describe
him as well as "artist". Regardless of personal taste, Manson's
art challenges anyone willing to
put their biases away and take
art for what it is worth; an intellectual stimulus that forces us to
think and open our minds. People
who don't understand Manson,
or think his art is gratuitous or
only done for shock value, are
people who have judged him
prematurely; people clearly have
the right to dismiss art without
bothering to investigate, or make
an informed judgment, but in my
opinion passing judgment in this
way is irresponsible and relates
back to what Manson is rebelling
against in thefirstplace. Anyone
who has the time to examine
contemporary art in depth will at
the very least respect Manson's
accomplishments as well as his
courage and determination under
heavy criticism, even if they
don't care for his art or music.

First off, this is a piece of those of
you who scoffed at the two previous articles concerting Halo for
the Xbox. I know many students
and individuals play games on
the Playstation, Gamecube, and
Xbox, but console games are
only a small vein when it comes
to tapping into the resource of
true gaming. Yes, I'm talking
about the PC and online gaming.
Taking nothing away from console games, they are fun and

PC is where it's at, if you don't

Console games are desired and
are always being updated for
better graphics, game play, and
the new move to playing them
online. However, the bottom line
is, no matter how high tech these
consoles become, the computer
is, and will be light years ahead

is concerned. So as not to bore

Pride Staff Writer
"Why at this point, at this
historical moment in time, do we
have a class called Multiethnic
American Literature?" - Ken
Mendoza, a LTWR professor
hereatCSUSM.
As a Literature and Writing
major at California State University San Marcos, I have been
forced to take many classes that
in one way or another involve
ethnic studies and cultural
diversity. Oftentimes, while I
am sitting in these classes, I find
myself wondering why the university has chosen to teach this
school of thought in a way that
points fingers at cultural differences. After the class lecture is
over, I never feel more connected
to someone else of the selected
ethnic background of the day, but
instead I feel further removed.
Take for example a class
like LTWR 450, Multiethnic
American Literature. The course
outline for this class says that it
is a class that offers a "Comparison of various ethnic American
discourses such as African
American, Jewish American,
Latino American, [and] Japanese
American." To title this course
Multiethnic American Literature
is a slap in the face to all of the
wonderful writers incorporated
into the syllabus.
Why not title this course
simply American Literature?
Why must the university tag
this course as Multiethnic? Are
they saying that all of the authors
that we read in United States Literature 309A and 309B have the
same ethnic background and that
that those backgrounds are not
ethnic? The fact that they must
separate this course, and tag it as
multiethnic, shows the real lack
of progress in cultural diversity
at this university.
I grew up in New York, where
nobody ever spoke of cultural
diversity. It was common to have
neighbors of different ethnic
backgrounds, but the idea was
that they were your neighbors.
Not your Jewish neighbors, or
your Latino neighbors, or your
African American Neighbors,
but simply the neighbors nextdoor. The fact that they may
have come a hundred years ago
from some other country did
not matter and was never talked
about.
K. Anthony Appiah, a professor at Harvard University, said in
one of his lectures that "American cultural distinctions cannot
be understood in terms of the
concept of race: the only race in
thé United States, is the human
race." He goes on to say "there
is danger in making racial identities too central to our conceptions of ourselves; while there is
a place for racial identities in a
world that is shaped by racism,
I shall argue, if we are to move
beyond racism we shall have
to move beyond current racial
identities."
Liberal
It is your lucky day. You may be
asking yourself, "Why, Matt?"
Well it is because today you are
going to hear the other side of
the story. Last week's commentary "Comedy Hour on NPR"
by Erik Roper contained much
comedic value.
First joke, he said President
Bush is our "illegally appointed
president." That's funny because
several liberal media outlets
sponsored their own recount
of Florida ballots and wouldn't
ya know it, Bush still won. The
media, except for Fox News,
said nothing! Here is a good
book: Bias by Bernard Goldberg
which tells about liberal media
bias and how Dan Rather gives

hear.

and France pay 5 - 8 %. Right
now you may be saying "Wow
Matt that is amazing." And
you're darnrightit is.
A 1996 GAO report stated
that we spent $6.6 billion on
peacekeeping operations since
1992 and yet we have only been
accredited with $1.8 billion of
that money. So under the United
Nations Erroneous Dept. Act,
we stopped paying dues until
our overpayments have been
credited or reimbursed.
Oh God Bless the United Nations
which is also one of the leading
exporters of abortion to thirdworld countries where abortion

dues." For the past 50 years,
America has contributed 25% of At this point you should all
the UN budget. China paid less be upset and not because I am
than 1%. Russia, Great Britain, conservative but because we
are paying with our taxes and
with our people (military) for a
world authority. Call me a crazy
member of the right wing conspiracy, but a world under the
control of a global government
scares me and the freedom that
has been preserved by my dad,
grandpa, and forefathers is at
risk. It is like "Ripley's Believe
It Or Not," but the U N has
already created a world court
and has been given American
soil by our previous president.
So, next time you watch liberals on TV remember this - they
think, "you are ignorant and
possibly even stupid" because
you listen to one side of the story
and believe it.
Matt Cotton
CAUSC Student
If CSUSM wants to celebrate
diversity, they should do so by
incorporation not by isolation.
There is no reason to have a class
called Multiethnic American Literature. These texts, if they are
worthy of being studied, should
be incorporated into the United
States Literature course because
they are an equal part of American Literature and not a separate
part. The University's program
right now is at the same place
the Civil Rights movement was
forty years ago when the thought
was separate but equal. We have
come to know that separate is
never equal, why hasn't the universityfiguredthat out?

I have been a student at
CSUSM my entire 4-year college
career and have eagerly enjoyed
the campus, the students and
even some of the faculty. However, this semester my view is
being drastically changed and
it is being altered in the form
of an overflow of cramped and
ridiculous parking! Basically as I
read the article from last week's
Pride, I gathered the truth of the
ugliness of our parking. There
is only 2,000 parking spaces on
campus and yet the school has
admitted approx. 6,900 students.

However, the numbers don't lie
and class sizes are not dropping
as much as they are increasing, which is another article all
together! That fact is that after
September 26, 2002, curb parking will no longer be allowed,
as well as stack parking to soon
follow. Though I understand the
red curb's disallowance due to
fire hazard (though overlooked in

Could it be possible that inconveniently scheduled class times

students have little choice as to
what classes they need to take;
they must complete the courses
required for their major in order
to graduate. With this in mind,
you would think that the university would schedule similarly

could easily end one class and
begin another and then be done

Dear Editors:
I found your recent edition
in extremely poor taste and
appallingly insensitive to the
family and friends of Alex
Zingaro. Why in the world
would you place Mucky Mouse
in Suicide in this issue? It lacks
humor, subtlety, or thoughtful
commentary, as well as informed
spelling and punctuation-so
what's the point? This is no
mouse, it's a sewer rat.
Actually, why would you want
such tasteless inanity in our
college publication at all? I
sincerely hope neither the
community nor the Zingaro
family sees this issue; do the
right thing and pull itfromthe

�CSUSM Professor Runs For Congress
By TOR FREED
Pride Staff Writer
Walking into campaign headquarters for congressional candidate and CSUSM professor, Mike
Byron, is like seeing a small slice
of America. Normally, it fronts
as a small computer store, run
by former Lieutenant Governor
candidate, Ron J. Like. It sits on
Coast Highway in Oceanside,
surrounded by many other 'Ma
and Pa' businesses. Walking
inside, the diversity is almost
as great as the different stores
that make up this neighborhood.
Like's software is available on
the only aisle and is flanked by
other computers in various stages
of use. The far wall contains
several paintings and if visitors
look close, they will recognize a
Rembrandt and a Monet but not
the kind that will bring millions,
but copies that have been painted
by Like. The store has that 'lived

can bring and is fast disappearing from the American landscape. In this comfortable, yet
quirky room, two men, Like and

CSUSM Professor, Dr Mike Byron

When
asked
what were some of the things that
could be done tofightthe war on
terror and how to stop terrorism
from spreading, Byron offered a
profound quote. "Happy people
don't make history, we need to be
fostering conditions for meaningful, fair international trade. We
can be setting the conditions for
democracy but we can't impose
it, we can only provide the model
for opportunity. People in the
Middle East are stuck, give them
the opportunity." Given the fact
that in the Middle East, 65 percent of the population is between
15 and 25 with almost no job
prospects, this recipe is more
fitting than sending in random
troops. Many of these people
are college educated yet work as
street vendors because there's no
employment.
With regards to foreign policy,
Taiwan became another topic of
discussion. The current administration in Taiwan is dedicated
to keeping it independent from
China and is even conducting a
secret deal for eight new 'Dolphin' class submarines. Byron
responded that since president
Truman went to China in 1971
and signed the Taiwan Relations
Act, every president since him
has been committed to the act,
which guarantees one China and
the peaceful return of Taiwan.
Byron said that we should stay
committed to that. "What we
should be doing is facilitating the
foundations of modernity and
democracy with the Chinese,
we do that, the problem fades,"
he said.
Byron also added that the
number one issue with regards
to domestic policies was the
political system. "The political
system, it should be one person,
one vote, now it's one dollar,
one vote," he said. He pointed
out that in the '96 elections had
the most money spent and the
most votes recorded. He quoted
P.J. O'Rourke and his reference that we have turned into a
'Parliament of Whores' because
we pay so much attention to
special interest groups. Byron
has one other huge supporter of
his opinion of these groups and
that is Republican Senator John
McCain, who ironically belongs
to his opposition party.
According to Byron, we need
a constitutional amendment like
we had back in the 1800's, when
Mark Twain called it a 'Gilded
Age,' to stop the special interest
groups from retaining so much
hold over us. Part of that would
include public control over
campaign money. This means
The event that made Byron
decide to run for Congress
was after listening to senator
McCain speak in addition to
talking to documentary filmmaker, Michael Moore. Moore
quoted Margaret Mead as
saying, "If you want something
to happen, you have to get up and
do it yourself." It struck a chord
with Byron and he went home
and talked with his wife and the
rest is making history. He also
added, "Stay away from special
interest money, be committed!"
as his own advice to keep himself honest.
Byron needs roughly 36,000
votes to win. Furthermore, his
name will not appear anywhere
in the ballot; he is a write-in
candidate because the democrats
did not get a candidate in the primary. He is running for the 49th
district and his opponent is the
republican Dan Issa.
Byron also said, "This is your
chance to make a difference,
together we can make history."

information on Byron and his
standpoint in many issues, visit

also tell you how to vote using
the write in method. He will
also be speaking at the upcoming North County Democratic
Unity dinner on Saturday,

to save the world from utter annihilation. Each race has its own
tech-tree, which allows for the
construction of diverse, multifunctional units of warfare.
Players familiar with- Warcraft II or Starcraft will notice
that game focus in Warcraft III
has shifted to smaller numbers

special Collector's Edition for
$59.99, which includes an audio

En la carrera de Clark, la fundación de un departamento de
idiomas no fue el único problema
que enfrentó. "Cuando yo me
gradué de Kansas, todos los profesores eran hombres, hombres y
americanos," dijo Clark sobre su
generación. También dijo que en
ese tiempo usualmente las personas pertenecientes a las minorías
o de género femenino no eran
maestros en universidades. Por
tal motivo, ella dijo, "Me gusto
servir de ejemplo para las personas que se quieren graduar y
que creen que no pueden porque

si se puede."
jos. Por eso, Clark dice, "No se
dejen vencer por los problemas
que va a haber problemas pero
que no son nada comparados con
los problemas de la vida si uno no
tiene su preparación académica."
Este consejo Clark lo recibió de
uno de sus alumnos que trabajaba en un servicio de limpieza
por las noches y que ganaba una
buena cantidad de dinero pero se
sentía estancado en esa ocupación lo cual lo motivaba ir a la
escuela para cambiar su estilo de
vida. "Estudiar es una inversión
emocional, psicológica, física,

The Appearing and Disappearing Act of
Your Class Schedule
By POLLY
CHAROENKWANCHAI
Pride Staff Writer
Due to the sudden burst in
enrollment, several classes were
added to this year's schedule.
Since some of these changes
were made the week before the
start of the term or even the first
week of the semester, it was not
possible to include them in the
course schedule. In addition,
some classes were cancelled
and others moved to different
rooms to increase the size of
enrollment.
This administrative course of
action comes after the cancellation of many classes over the
summer break. The decision to
cancel these courses depends on
a variety of factors. "The most
common is low student enrollment," said Michael McDuffie,
the Associate Dean in the College
of Arts and Sciences. According
to McDuffie, courses like LTWR
115 or WMST 445 were closed
because it "isn't cost-effective to
keep it open" thereby allowing
the money to be used for more
popular classes that will serve
more students. Other factors,
such as consultations with the
Department Chairs, the amount
of available sections in a particular course, and General Education
requirements are also taken into
account when determining which
classes to cancel. It is unclear if
the currently enrolled students
of these cancelled courses were
taken into consideration as a
deciding factor.
one room to another" as well as
changing "one time to another."
This^ change is meant to benefit
crashers and new students alike.
Late demands for classes are
resolved by moving the class into
a bigger room.
The
academic
schedule
remains to be determined by a
limited budget and limited space.
The fees that are collected from
the new enrollment is expected
to be spent on increasing the
"instructional budgets," therefore
providing room for extra enrollment in the spring semester.
A complete list of available
courses is located in the College
of Arts and Sciences advising

East, and holds that theocracy is
no longer a valid form of government and that the focus should be
shifted to Arab Nationalism.
Last week, Dr. Salah Moukhlis,
Professor of Literature and Writing Studies, gave an informative
talk on the historical context of
modern Islamic culture. Attendance at this event was very
low ~ the audience numbered
less than a dozen — probably
due to lack of awareness of the
event rather than disinterest
Dr. Moukhlis, originally from
Morocco, volunteered his time,
despite the low turnout, to provide those who wished to learn
more about Middle Eastern culture the opportunity to ask someone withfirsthandknowledge.
The,second school of thought
is that the Middle East can be
modernized without loosing
its cultural identity by merging
with western culture to the extent
that it is useful and simply not
adopting western attributes that
conflict with traditional values.
In describing this more moderate stance Dr. Moufchlis quoted
Bryan S. Turner who argues:
"What makes religious faith
or religious commitment problematic in a global postmodern
society is that everyday life has
become part of a global system
of exchange of commodities
which are not easily influenced
by political leaders, intellectuals
or religious leaders."
The main theme of Dr. Moukhlis' talk concerned the strategies
that the Islamic world is using
in order to deal with the problems associated with modernity;
namely, in trying to modernize
without jeopardizing
traditional identity. According to Dr.
Moukhlis, there are three schools
of thought on this subject. The
first is radical for the Middle
The third school of thought is
that modernism is too secular and
holds too many perils, and that
the best solution is to return to
the pure or ancestral ways that
Islam describes as the model
for social organization. To contrast this isolationist view, Dr.
Moukhlis quotes Monshipouri
who argues, "It is essential... to
remember that secular rational

of secularism. Rather Islamists

civility, indigenous development
and globalization, and communal identity and internalization of
human rights."
Dr. Moukhlis points out that,
dating as far back as Napoleon's
invasion of Egypt in 1798, which
he describes as being a huge
a shock of modernism to the
Middle East, the Arab world has
felt a pressure to catch up with the
West. While Moukhlis contends
that most Middle Easterners like
what the west has to offer ~ technology, democracy, and humanism — the west for them also
represents violence, invasion,
and the dehumanizing effects of
colonialism. The values that the
West holds as fundamental are
universally admired, however
the discrepancies between the
theory and the practice cause disillusionment for Westerners and
Middle Easterners alike. Giving
voice to Arab sentiment from
when he was living in northern
Africa, Dr. Moukhlis said, "I love

Debate
By JASON PADILLA
Pride Staff Writer
Over one hundred people-ranging from grade school students
to senior citizens gathered at
7 p.m., Thursday evening, at
the Shadowridge Country Club
Home Owners Association in
Vistaf to participate and watch the
annual mayoral debate. Enthusiasm was noticeably high during
the introductory ceremonies, as
everyone was anxious to find a
chair in the crowded dining hall.
With a few dozen still standing
with their complementary snacks
and refreshments, partly due
to the large turnout and limited
seating, the introductions began,
and as the 3 candidates for Vista
City Mayor took their seats, the
forfrial dining hall grew silent in
anticipation.
followed by the current Mayor
of Vista Ed Estes, and last but
not least Morris Vance. Three
candidates that were scheduled
to speak but did not show were
Craig Heiller, Joe Vargas, and
Elvin Vega. Reasons for these
three candidates not showing up
were not given throughout the
evening.
All three candidates gave their
five to ten minute presentations
to either become or to continue
as the mayor of Vista. While the
candidates expressed their own
personal goals and ideas, they
also discussed similar issues they
all felt needed adjustment.
Similarly, topics ranged from
traffic congestion to new and

Other widely spoken events
mentioned were the correlation
of new development and traffic,
There is some unrest about the
current traffic congestion in Vista
and bringing in new developments such as Lowe's, Home
Depot, and additional shopping
outlets may cause additional traffic. Also discussed was the fact
that these additional structures
will boost the economy and possibly make Vista a more enjoyable city to live in. To counteract
the negative effects of these
developments, candidates proposed suggestions ranging from
widening both streets and side-
walks, to additional traffic lights, opment structures, did not get

After the candidates finished
up their speeches, all welcomed
and addressed many questions
the members in attendance.
With the audience asking more
specific questions to their needs,
each candidate talked for an additional three to five minutes in an
attempt to answer their queries,
While most in attendance were
satisfied with the question and
answer period, others were not.
Clearly discontent grew among
some members in attendance as
certain candidates deployed obvious question-dodging maneuvers
in an attempt to walk around

Upon meeting with random
community businessmen and
women after the event, it appeared
that more thorough speeches, and

and possible outcomes, might
have been appreciated, while
others were satisfied with what
they were presented. For those
interested in knowing more about
these events and/or candidates,
there will be a candidate dessert

One year has officially passed

and horror as planes piloted by
Al-Queda terrorists flew into the

and rural farmland in Pennsylvania. In a pre-9-11 world, this act
would have been thought of not
only as unthinkable, but more
likely as a Hollywood stoiy line
than an event that was to grip our
nation unlike any in history. The
endless news coverage assaulted
us with images and stories of this
horrific event and it was through

from three thousand miles away.
It seemed surreal, too great to
comprehend because hi our own
backyard life was, for all intents
and purposes.. .normal.
It was easy to watch the smoldering ruins of two hundred and
twenty stories and realize what
an impact it would have. What
would it be like to be there,
to actually see first hand the
destruction that has been wrought
and the impact on the people of
New York? Television can only
show so much, it cannot accu* rately portray the feeling in th$
air, nor would it have the effect
of witnessing firsthand what
had really happened. For New
Year's Day of 2002, a friend and
I decided that we should witness
first hand what had befallen our
country.
happened. Our hopes for seeing
anything were becoming bleak as
we noticed a line stretched from
St. Mark's cathedral, heading
north into the city. We started
walking along the line looking for
the end but it just kept going. It
stretched for two city blocks then
took an abrupt left and continued
down for another four to the edge
of the site then c u ^ J back up
again. We got i nlii^Smewhere
around here and settled down for
what seemed like a long wait.
This was the coldest I could ever
remember being. I was growing
frustrated with the howling wind,
against which my scarf seemed
defenseless. It was then that it
hit me.
One of the many Shrines created as a memorial for those who lost their lives during the
terror attacks one year ago .
New York in the winter is as
beautiful as it is cold. There's
a certain appeal from the leafless
tress and frost covered grass. As
in the movies, many of the buildings are dirty and old but when
set upon the white winter sky,
they have a romantic appeal that
screams "This is New York!' Our
plan was to get as close as possible to the World Trade Center site
and hopefully not get chased off
by 'New York's finest.' It w asn't
until we \yere in Times Square on
New Year's Eve that we learned a
public viewing platform had been
opened earlier that day.
Packed in with half a million
other people it was-the topic of
much conversation. Some did
not want to go because they felt
it was sacrilegious while others
could not wait for the chance
to see the awesome spectacle
of destruction. Most however
wanted to pay their respects, like
a never ending memorial service,
a form of prayer, and a word of
silence, remembrance. The New
Year rang in with red, white
and blue confetti and a personal
address from Mayor Rudolph
Giulianni, who said that after
September 11, we were all New
Yorkers.

take advantage, a closed coffee
shop with 9-11 specials still in

reminder that this area was completely shut down. Signs of life
were becoming apparent as we
made our way to the observation

from a bleak, empty reminder to
the bustle that New York is associated with, only this time it was
different.
The cab ride was easy. We
simply told him that we wanted
to get as close as possible to
the World Trade Center as possible. He nodded, having heard
this many times already, and
in silence we made our way to
New York's financial district.
Despite the cold, the sun was
shinning brightly, reflecting off
of huge office windows from the
buildings still left in Wall Street.

one very different reason. They
From there we made our way were coming to see just what had
west, walking alongside the site
and catching glimpses of the
destruction in between buildings. What was really catching
was the numerous businesses that
were closed on 9-11 and became
a kind of time capsule - a shoe
store with a sale in the window
The wind had yet to bother me
in New York but standing next
to a sixteen square acre hole, it
swept through the site with a fury
and without the towers to buffet
it, it attacked at will. After two
and a half hours of eternity and
a chin I knew I had but could
not feel, we made it back to the
main street and started our slow
procession towards the viewing
platform. The sunshine seemed
to have faded, replaced by gloom
as slowly we marched and then
all the various memorials left by
family and well-wishers invaded
our senses.
Candles were still burning
around make-shift signs and
computer printouts of missing
friends, husbands, wives, sons,
and daughters. I wasn't feeling
the cold from the wind anymore,
just the piercing chill of these
haunting images of smiling faces
that would never again see the
light of day. An old, rusty bicycle
was chained to a light post and it
seemed odd that the owner had
not claimed it. Looking closer,
there was no owner to claim. It
too was a memorial, adorned in
flowers and a rosary with a sign

It was strange: the news portrayed, endlessly, the fallen
heroes of the Fire and Police

much about the little guys. That

People were quiet, walking the
hundred-yard ramp up the platform and to the viewing area.
Most kept their heads down, it
could be said to avoid the wind,
but I like to think it was out of
respect. Police inform you when
you get to the actual viewing
stage that you have three minutes
and three minutes only. They
were serious. I saw them usher
away many loiters except for one
woman who was sobbing uncontrollably. They did not have it in
them to tell her that time was up.
It was easy to boot someone
who had just snapped off twenty
seven pictures and was reload"
ing yet another roll of film, but
how do you tell someone who
is looking wildly into the crowd,
through her tears of grief that it's
time to go? Standing on the edge
of the makeshift platform, it's
impossible to believe what happened. I was right. Watching it
on T.V. makes it seem small and
unconnected. One of my first
thoughts was that planes didn't
do this, someone dropped about
a hundred bombs. It looked like
a war zone.
The pile of rubble was obvious
and backhoes normally 50 feet
tall were so deep in the site you
could only see the top of their
buckets. Most of the surrounding
buildings had half their windows
blown out except for one. It was
an older building, roughly forty
feet high and made of concrete.
It was melted. It looked like
sulfuric acid had been dumped
all over it and like a candle left
lit overnight had just melted
away. The human mind was not
designed to take in a scene like

If you haven't talked about,

most unexpected hit TV shows of
the summer, you must have been
under a rock. "American Idol"
took America by storm when it
made its world premiere on June

stayed glued to the TV to find
out which potential Superstar

The viewers called in each
week to determine who gave
a star-studded performance
and who gave a not-so-stellar
performance. Whether your
favorite was RJ Helton, A.J, Gil,
or the obvious sex kitten of the
bunch, Ryan Starr, most viewers
had their top three of who they
thought would win. From an
overwhelming group of surveys
and public opinion, it was plain to
see that Kelly Clarkson, Tamyra
Gray, and Justin Guarini were the
favorites who were predicted to
make it to the grand finale show.

These are also students who

university, degree in hand, ready
to begin the next phase of their
lives.
Now the process is, for the
most part, beyond the student.
Registration and Records enters
the application information
into Banner (an administrative
software system), and the yellow
copy of the application is sent to
advising.
Imagine the deflated sense of
accomplishment and the disruption to one's life that this would
cause. Careers may have to
be put on hold or even simply

financial resources and time to

Now let us see what the

determine who has applied and
reapplied for graduation. Each
applicant's file is pulled from

see if the applicant has transcripts
that need to be copied from
Registration and Records. Along
with the retrieval of any and all
necessary transcripts, approved
alternate course agreements,
independent study contracts
and incomplete agreements are
also gathered into the student's

I am sending this letter for
a couple reasons. First of all,
there is erroneous information
contained within the article
on HALO ("The Low Down
on Halo") in the Arts section
of The Pride's September 10
issue. The author wrote that it
is possible to play through the
levels cooperatively with up to
sixteen players, he is wrong.
With more than two players
you can only play against each
other, not against the aliens.
Also, he failed to mention the
online capabilities of HALO.

to pay fees (because apparently
tuition is hot sufficient to cover
paper processing), then back to
Registration and Records to turn
in the completed application.
But then they get a phone call
from Registration and Records,
interrupting that next phase. The
student is informed that "due to
an error," they must return to the
university to fully complete their
requirements, and their degree is
invalid until having done so.
Editors:
One student to whom this
revocation happened inquired
as to why he should come back,
being that the physical degree
was already in his possession.
He-was told that his degree is
now invalid, to be considered a
forged document. So he returned
to CSUSM to watch an employee
in the Registration office shred
his diploma, and he reluctantly
handed over his tuition for the
upcoming semester.

Again, thefe are 22 steps
- and two semesters prior
to graduation in which to
complete them. And yet,
we still cannot be sure
that once that degree is in
hand, it is ours to keep. So
where does that leave us? It
leaves us second-guessing
the determinations of the
people being paid to advise
us because they cannot
invariably be relied upon.
It leaves us to be extra cautious about our own graduation planning. And, well,
in some unfortunate cases it
leaves us plain SOL, as the
saying goes.
The author of the article also
mentioned that he is up for a
battle with anyone who thinks
they can play and that he is
the HALO champion. This
may sound ridiculous, but I
would like to challenge him. I
understand that it may not be
appropriate that I address this

This letter to the editors is in
response to last week's editorial

of the ASI Board of Directors,
a retreat is scheduled to educate

Last week, student Lorraine
Puckett was unable to get her
wheelchair out of her van because
someone had parked on the blue
lines of the handicap space.
People who turn the blue lines
of a handicap space into makeshift parking spaces are asking
for a very expensive ticket.
CSUSM President Gonzalez
explained that our parking situation is complicated because the
state does not subsidize parking
services in any way. Parking
services must be completely selfsupporting.
Gonzalez explained that to
build the six planned parking
structurés, no state funds can be
used. Money for construction of
die structures must come from
parking services through substantial increases in parking fees.
Gonzalez also explained that
parking structures are extremely
expensive to build.
It breaks down to something
like 12-18 thousand dollars per
space. Therefore, if a structure
had 1000 spaces, at $12,000 per
space, that equals 12 million
dollars for one structure. And
that's the low end of the money
spectrum.
Gonzalez assures students that
there is a committee currently
working on the parking issue and
looking at alternative areas and
solutions. Gonzalez is waiting for
the committee to report back to
him with their recommendations.

�Results of Audit Lead to Discontinuation of MBA Program through Extended Studies
By Leiana Naholowaa
Graduate Intern
The findings of a July '8,
2002, special investigation of the
Extended Studies (ES) MBA program operated by the College
of Business Administration
(CoBA), released by the university on July 16, indicate the
neglect of policy and the misuse
of both state and non-state funds
between 1995 and 2000. Among
its many findings, the audit
asserts that certain CSUSM
CoBA faculty and administrators who were responsible for the
MBA program offered through
Extended Studies "acted collectively in disregard of various
laws, regulations, and California
State University (CSU) policies
and procedures."
According to the audit, "over
$300,000 in Continuing Education Revenue Fund (CERF)
expenditures" which were insufficiently associated with the CERF
program "were made as grants
to CoBA faculty". In its official
July 16 press release, CSUSM
has maintained that it had taken
action to correct the situation.
The audit also highlights
various ways in which leaders
and prior cam|>Us administrators
acted in an "economically wasteful manner" in a summary which
includes the following:
-
CoBA faculty responsibilities were additionally decreased when it
separately hired student
advisors.
CoBA faculty workloads were calculated in
a manner that reduced
student classroom contact for many CoBA tenured faculty.
CoBA
discretionary
expenditures were often,
inadequately supported
and
inappropriately
approved.
Hourly rates for faculty
with consulting contracts ranged from less
than $50 per hour to several hundred dollars per
hour without any perceptible justification for
variances in the rates
charged.
Jack Leu, associate professor
and former director of the MBA
program from 1999-2001, notes
that "Cal State-business schools
have had inadequate funding for
decades." Professor Leu states
the problems that the program
faced which include the struggle
in recruiting talented faculty and
how their actual workload of
giving up a winter or summer
break for extra pay "was rewarded
with sub-market compensation."
According to Professor Leu,
"We could have taken the conventional approach of many CSU
campuses. However, we taught
our students not to be limited by
system constraints, not to accept
status quo and to take the journey
less traveled. Perhaps we must
also tell our students that the lesstraveled journey can also lead to
p eril"
In terms of how the Extended
Studies MBA has operated as
an academic program, the investigation concludes that it was
"improperly administered" by
the CoBA and ES management.
Some examples of those findings
include that:
-
Campus standards over
grades were iiot followed.
ES exercised little control over the operation
of the CoBA ES MBA
program. In addition,
it retained few official
accounting or academic
records for the program
as it does for all other ES
programs at CSU San
Marcos.
Campus academic leaders, the CoBA dean, and
MBA program leadership failed to act with
due care and attention
toward Office of the
University Auditor findings and recommendations presented in the
Continuing Education
audit in December
1999.

is something seriously dysfunctional going on with regard to
the male-female student dynamic
here at Cal State San Marcos.
In my capacity as your A.S.I.
Secretary, over the summer I had
the opportunity to interact with a
lot of incoming freshmen at orientation. Oftentimes this interaction involved nothing more than
simply walking by them on my
way to another spot on campus.
It seemed to me that almost every
time I would walk through a
crowd of freshmen guys talking
(or whispering) amongst themselves, I heard a familiar theme
repeated over and over. It went
something like, "Daaamn bro,
look at all the hot chicks here yo,
we're outnumbered like two to
one!" Indeed, I admit, I was just
as excited about that ratio when I
first came to this school.
Unfortunately what these guys
don't realize yet (but they
undoubtedly will once the semester gets underway) is that that
ratio offers absolutely no assurance that they will "hook up"
with any girls, let alone one.

It's
common knowledge
that, when it comes to understanding women, most guys are
about as smart as a block of concrete. Our biggest problems are
that, first of all, we simply don't
talk to enough girls, and since
most of us aren't very perceptive
or sensitive, usually we either
misinterpret (or just plain, miss)
the signals girls do give us that
are supposed to let us know they
wouldn't mind it if we talked to
them more and/or asked them out
on a date.
When I told my 12 buddies this,
they all grudgingly concede that
they couldbe better about approaching more girls. But, as far as not
being able to read signals that girls
are supposedly sending to them,
they get outright indignant and
sometimes even kind of pissed
off. "WHAT SIQNALS?!?!" they
all retort. "Are we supposed to be

something?!?!

up about chicks is that they always

It's that time of year again.
Between having a crappy registration time, and the fact that the
school only offers two sections
of a core class that you need,
so you are left having to crash
a class that you can't graduate
without. You are desperate. You
have to have this class this semester because it's either & prerequisite, or it's not offered in the
spring, or you need it to graduate on time. You don't even care
that it's only offered at 3:30 p.m.
on Wednesdays, or 11:00 am on
Tuesdays and Thursdays, you've
got to have this class.
really want anything to do with
you and you start thinkin' you're
crazy 'cause you were sure they
were givin' you the go-ahead,
but then it never works out, you
never get any love, you end up
pissed off at yourself, frustrated,
lonely, and highly discouraged...
and after a while you just stop
trying to talk to them with any
hope of ever hooking up or getting a date because you and all
your boys are like, "man, the
chicks at this school are wack!"
I think whatthe guys are trying
to say is that girls need to stop
waiting for guys to approach
them, and they need to be clearer
about the signals they give.
Please ladies, don't take this
personally and try to see this for
what it really is: A CRY FOR
HELP. The guys at this school
are frustrated and confused. They
want to get to know you better,
but they aren't having much success, and don't know how to fix
this problem. Guys like to fix
things. Please help usfixthis situation. I'm sure all the guys at this
school would really appreciate it
if one of you that read this would
write an article for the Pride telling us what we're doing wrong.
And if you don't feel like writing
an article but would like to share
your thoughts feel free to email/
call me (see below), or stop by
my office in Commons 203, and
then I'll turn around and write a
follow up article.
So you arrive early on the first
day of class only to find that
it's standing room only. You wait
silently for the adjunct du jour
to arrive, while wondering how
many others will try to crash. You
ponder your possibilities. Usually
the instructor will either refuse
all crashers (in order to keep the
class size small), take all crashers (knowing in two weeks there
will only be 15 students still
enrolled), or just let graduating
seniors crash. I'm not just talking
about the occasional class everyone has had to crash, but some
students have to crash multiple
classes every semester.
to know each other all that
well. We don't hang out together
outside of school enough. We
don't party together enough. I
repeat, WE DON'T PARTY
TOGETHER ENOUGH. This
needs to change.
No, I'm not joking, I'm dead
serious. We need to have more
parties. In my experience and
that of all my friends, parties are
clearly the best places to meet
people, and lay the foundations
for sometimes long-lasting and
rewarding friendships. But how
many big cool parties did you
get invited to and go to last
year based on your connection to
someone at this school?
Undoubtedly there are many of
you out there that could count
them on one hand, ^nd probably
still more that couldn't count any.
This needs to change. We need
to party together. We need to
have fun together. We need to be
able to say to ourselves after we
leave this place, "My time at San
Marcos was so fun, that school
rocked, I made so many friends,
I went out with so many girls (or
guys, depending on what you go
for), I had the time of my life,
I have no regrets and I 'm sad to
be leaving." Unfortunately, at this
point, I doubt most of us would
say this.
So, let's party. I challenge
everyone whom this article resonates with, who has access to
a house that it would be cool to
throw a party at, to offer to host
a big kickass party. If you need
help organizing it, come talk to
me, I'm here to help. My roommate and I wanted to throw a
big party ourselves but we can't
because we just moved into a
condo. But if this article resonates with you, if you're feelin'
me, and if you've got that perfect house, please, do yourself
and everyone else at this school a
favor, call me.
But folks, there's really no
amount of any such suggestions
that would change the situation
here. Guys will be guys, and girls
will be girls. What we all need
to realize is that ultimately, it's
not a matter of whether it's more
the guys fault or more the girls

honorable end to the war, and
