Discount Campus Books shafted once again
By MICHAEL DOLAN
Pride StafFWriter
Discount Campus Books, an
off-campus bookstore, once again
has faced challenges in obtaining
textbook information for the fall
semester. The bookstore, which
touts itself for its 10 percent used
book discount off the University
Bookstore price, has served the
university with a lawsuit for
violating the California Public
Records Act due to the lack of
information sharing.
According to the California
Public Records Act, any record
that is not confidential is public
record said John Kilby, manager
of the store located across
Twin Oaks Valley Rd. from
the university. Therefore, if the
university retains a record of the
books ordered each semester,
then that information is public
record.
"I think we should have the
same access (to the booklist) as
other entities," said Kilby. "The
information is getting to Aztec
Shops; it should get to us too."

Aztec Shops run the University
Bookstore under a contract from
the California State University
San
Marcos
Foundation.
The Foundation is a separate
organization from the university
and therefore not subject to the
California Public Records Act

does not apply to the Foundation,"
said Smith. "The information they
have is not public information."
However, it is a question of
how that information is collectedthat is the issue of contention
from Cal State San Marcos. The
university maintains that Aztec
Shops collect book information
independently and there is no
resource at the university level
that collects or retains this
information.
"We are not asking Aztec
Shops for the information," said
Kilby. "All we are asking for is
the same access to the booklist as
the (university) bookstore has."
In the meantime, Kilby plays a
guessing game of the books to
order; in the back of the store are
39 cartons of books waiting to be
returned. The cartons are filled
with books that Kilby ordered
based on booklists from past
semesters, but that are no longer
being used in current classes.
Kilby maintains that the book

California State University
San Marcos President, Karen
S. Haynes, has prepared for her
first full year by creating a new
committee.
This new committee, which
will include a position dedicated
to the President of Associated
Students, Inc.
"I am trying to assure student
voices in cabinets and advisory
councils and add more substance
to the student role," said Haynes.

from the university. He contends
that it would be easy to require
professors to submit booklist
information to both Aztec Shops
and his store.
However, Smith denies there
is a record of the book orders
placed by professors kept by the
university.
"(The university) does not
keep copies of the booklist," said
Smith. At this time, the university
does not plan to implement
a process to track the books
professors order said Smith.
Cal State San Marcos President
Karen Haynes affirmed Smith's
statement.
"It is common practice where
a third party runs the bookstore,"
said Haynes. "The university
does not control the books used
and we are not the provider of the
books,"
If what both Smith and
Haynes said is accurate, then the
university has neither knowledge
of the books that are ordered nor
the content of these books.
In the meantime, Kilby relies
on the few professors that contact
him directly to let him know what
books to order. Also, book sales
representatives pass the word on
to Kilby about the books to be
used in the upcoming semester.
Student reaction to the limited
options for textbook purchases
has generally come out in favor
of the off-campus bookstore.
"I don't think it is right," said
Stacy Palchanis, a liberal studies
major. "If students are using their
own income (to purchase books),
they should have a choice "

On November 3, President
Haynes will be hosting an event,
to which faculty, staff and the

celebrate the 15th anniversary
of California State University

a platform to show appreciation
to the early founders of the
University.
"This will be a public event
for a number of people to come

said Haynes.
Later on this semester, the
president's website will be
getting a make-over. "I am

�University Village adds diversity to
campus living
By ERIC MERCADO
Pride StafFWriter
University Village Apartments
(UVA) opened its doors to n onCSUSM students for thefirsttime
this fall.
Entering its second year in
operation, the UVA is filled to
capacity once again with minor
changes in who can be residents.
Since last October, CSUSM
current students were encouraged
to apply for a spot at UVA. It
was not until May 2004 that
advertising was made public for
non-CSUSM students to join
UVA. Advertising was aimed
primarily at Palomar College
students.
Housing
for
students
is determined by date of
application. Students that turned
A| H
in their requests early had a
more favorable chance of getting
housing.
According to Brian Dawson,
director of UVA, capacity is once
again at its limit. There will be a
total of 460 residents with 15 of
the students being from Palomar
this year.
"The students from Palomar
will most likely transfer to
CSUSM," said Dawson. "This
gives them an opportunity and
little taste of what our campus is
all about."
During the summer, it was
estimated that over 50 students
were on the waitlist to join UVA.
Currently there are only 10
students still waiting for housing.

�Jock Talk With Josh
BY JOSHUA SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
Every four years since
776 B.C., the entire world
comes together to meet and
compete at the Olympic
Games. This year the
world convened in Athens,
Greece.
The Olympics always
seem to grab the casual
sports fan more aggressively
than professional sports
because in the Olympics
the athletes are competing
for their country rather than
for themselves. During the
Olympics you find people
saying things like, "Wow,
did you see the U.S. Men's
rowing team win the gold
the other day?" I mean, who
gets excited about rowing?
No one, it's just the fact that
these rowers did it for the
country.
I was with my friend Karin
last Thursday when the
women's soccer team won
the gold medal in overtime.
Her mom called her just to
ask if she heard the news
about the women's soccer
team. The Olympics are all
about having pride for your
country just like that.
These Olympics provided
many
discussions
for
Americans with a lot of
them being centered on
the disappointments. Tom
Pappas had to drop out of the
decathlon due to injury, and
Rulon Gardner wasn't able
to defend his title in Greco
Roman wrestling. Those
were two of the largest
disappointments. However,
the accomplishments by
the U.S. competitors are
what really stick out in most
people's minds. There have
been many jaw dropping
occurrences
in
these
Olympics.
In the past 100 years the
United States looked like
they were dueling with
small butter knives when it
came to fencing. However,
this year Mariel Zagunis
won the first fencing gold
medal for the United States
Since 1904 to end the
drought.
One
of
the more
remarkable performances
in these Olympics was from
the duo of Kerri Walsh
and Misty May in beach
volleyball. The duo beat up
on every other country like
there was not even another
team on the other side of the
net. Walsh and May did not
even lose a single set during
the entire Olympics to give
the U.S.A. its first gold in

Gold, silver, and bronze medals.

beach volleyball history.
The only team more
dominant than the combo
of Walsh and May was the
women's softball team.
The rest of the world didn't
know what they were
getting when they signed up
for women's softball. The
women's softball team won
hands down every single
game they competed in and
outscored their opponents
51-1 during the entire
tournament.
However, no one has
been more interesting to
the United States than the
young 19-year-old Michael
Phelps. Many people set
unrealistic expectations for
Phelps by saying that he
would break the record for
most gold medals in one
Olympics which is held by
Mark Spitz who won 7 gold
medals in 1972. Phelps did
tie an Olympic record by
winning the most medals in
one Olympics by capturing
eight, but only 6 were gold.
Going into the Olympics it
was thought to be Michael
Phelps versus the world
and by the looks of it,
he literally defeated the
world by capturing more
swimming medals than
17 other countries. Since
Phelps is only 19 the sky
is the limit, and in the 2008
games there is no doubt he
will be in China to go after
Mark Spitz's gold medal
record.
The U.S.A also showed
off in gymnastics. The
U.S. won both the men's
and women's individual
all around competitions. It
marked only the second time
in Olympic history in which
one country has swept the
individual all around. Carly
Patterson, 16, won gold for
the women and Paul Hamm
took it for the men.
It will be another four
years till the next summer
games but hopefully you
will keep that same pride
for your country over that
time.

Go see "Fahrenheit 9/11"
By MICHAEL DOLAN
Pride SteffWriter
I met a woman over the weekend and we started a conversation that eventually turned to
the subject of the war in Iraq.
I voiced my disapproval for the
war to which she replied, "You're
not one of those Michael Moore
people, are you?" I confidently
answered, "Why yes, I agree
wholeheartedly with the work
Moore is doing." Seemingly f rustrated she said, "Well, I suppose
you are entitled to believe what
you want."
Indeed, I suppose I am.
Michael Moore has received
a fair share of both criticism
and praise for his eye-opening documentary, "Fahrenheit
9-11." However, no one should
be in the position to say that
they "suppose" I have a right to
EMMA
believe what I want just because
it disagrees with his or her own
opinion: that right is not a supposition.
The beauty about Michael
Moore's work i s based on his
inquisitive nature and his examinations of issues that are important to him. Moore does not sit
idly by and let decisions that
affect his life go unchallenged. I
do not and neither should you.
Our society is based on the
free exchange of ideas, and the
necessary dissention to challenge
to those ideas is what makes
Moore's work so important.
Moore is, in fact, an American
in the true sense of the word.
We can not honestly say we are
free Americans if we choose to
ignore the opinion of dissent that

An
bucks the current actions of the
powers to be. Is there anything
less American than blindly following the decisions of our leaders without asking the important
questions?
Go see "Fahrenheit 9-11." Even
if you do not agree with Moore,
you can never be told that you
did make an informed decision
based on both sides of the story.
In addition, you might see something that will change your mind
or inspire you to become more
politically motivated.
A fter all, we are in college to
expand our knowledge and n ot
just to be reaffirmed in what we
already know.

BY ALFRED CHU AND RYAN JAMES

Amid concerns about policing practices on
campus two open forums were held by the CSUSM
police department where students, faculty, and
other members of the community could get information, address issues and ask questions.
On Wednesday December 1 at 11 a.m. the first
forum was held at the Clarke Field House in the
Grand Salon.
A panel f rom the CSUSM police department consisting of Police Chief Tom Schultheis, Assistant
Police Chief Aaron Woodard and Police Officer

pick up the form at the University Police
Department, since the forms were only
available at the station.
According to Schultheis, the forms were
to be kept at the station due to the sensitive
nature of the complaint process.
However, when Copwatch and San
Diego community member, Janice Jordan
stated that complaint forms were available
at Social Service Agencies and therefore
should be available on campus, Schultheis
restated his words to say that the forms
will also be available on campus.
Schultheis then promised to update the

The goal is to bring back the traditional reading rooms of great libraries

The benefit was orchestrated
by Karen Schaffman, assistant
professor for visual and performing arts, and Veronica Anover,
associate professor for world languages. Both had been Ivy's professors last fall before her accident.
"I met Ivy when she took my

She's extremely
smart, dynamic, and passionate.
A person who has a real passion
for life...always helping other students... she was about tolerance
and teaching diversity. I hope
to see her in class again," said
Schaffman.
Anover, Ivy's French professor, read a letter to her in French
saying, "This is a tribute to your
inner and outer energy.. .1 know
you will be back soon."
Jenna Wood from Alpha Chi

her in the hospital.
"We are so excited to see

Upcoming
Whiteness forum
BY PHOENIX LINDGREN
Pride Staff Writer
"What is Whiteness?" is the potentially provocative topic of an interactive
forum being held in Commons 206 on
Thursday, December 9, from 11:30amlpm.
Dr. Dreama Moon and students from
her Comm. 450D class will stimulate
thinking about white culture and what
it means to be white through interactive activities designed to encourage
attendee participation.
"We want to provide an educational
opportunity for people to think critically about whiteness and white identity
in the U.S. context. In most discussions
of race and racism, the notion of whiteness is noticeably absent. We believe
that if we as a society are to eliminate
racism and achieve social justice, then
whites must j oin the conversation on
race. This forum is designed to spark
ideas about how one might do so," said
Moon.
"I haven't noticed the reading room,"
said Ryan Russell, a sophomore who often
studies in the library.
Adjacent to the Reading Room is a large
outdoor balcony which is also currently
o£f-limits.
When asked if the balcony next to the
Reading Room would be open for students, Stakes said, "I doubt that the balcony will be open during the day, it would
probably be open during special events in
the room."
The balcony will also be furnished with
donations.
In addition to the balcony on the fifth
floor there is a balcony on the second floor
next to the open computer lab. Students are
prevented from going out into that balcony
by a sign that says "No Public Access."
When asked, some students voiced concerns about not being able to use the balconies.
"It's better to be outside," Quiroz said.
"Students should be able to use the balconies. It'd be kinda cool to look out over
stuff," said Russell.
Stakes stated that the balcony will not be
opened to students
"Due to security concerns and risk management issues there are no plans to open
the second floor balcony to the public at
this time. Smoking on the balcony would
be prohibited anyway under CSU regulations," replied Stakes when asked why students are not permitted to use the balcony
to get fresh air or to smoke.
CSU regulations state that smoking is
not permitted within 15 feet of any building. The security reasons cited pertain to
book theft and other similar concerns.
There are also three instructional labs
in the library which are unavailable for
general use by students. Like the other
instructional computing labs on campus,

Point presentation about the police department.
Information was presented about current projects the university police are
implementing including Rape Aggression
Defense (RAD), Automated Regional Justice Information System (ARJIS), Homeland Security Projects, the Emergency
Operations Center and the California State
University Critical Response Unit.
The presentation included the departments many policies and procedures for
filing a compliant against an officer and
requesting information on certain events
and citations.
Facts about the four types of crime,
crime prevention, safety and emergency
tips were also given.
Data about campus police reports and
the number of arrests made by campus
Assistant Chief of Police Aaron Woodard
police was displayed. These statistics
showed that the number of police reports
had nearly tripled since 1999.
In 1999 there were 157 police reports
filed and this number jumped to 467 in the
current incomplete year o f2004.
A fter the presentation sociology Professor Edwardo Portillos moderated a question and answer session where the main
issue raised was racial profiling.
Many in the audience, which included
students and faculty, expressed their
concern about the subject, due to recent
events.
"When I approach the driver I j ust
pulled over for a traffic violation, my concern is my safety and my officer's safety,
because you don't know who the person
is, if they're stable or not and/or what
they have in their car. I had a partner who
pulled over a driver at two in the morning
and he got shot," said Woodard.
"I absolutely do not tolerate racial profiling. I discourage the practice among my
staff," said Schultheis.
"Once an arrest has been made, what is
the university's role in deciding to charge a
crime?" asked Professor Anne Lombard.
"It's the police officer at the scene's decision whether to charge the case as a felony
if it can be proved. However the DA can
then decide whether to drop the felony to a
misdemeanor," responded Schultheis.
A fter the forum had concluded, Lombard said she felt surprised that university
officials would not become more actively
involved after the arrest of a residential
student in deciding whether to charge
him/her with a felony.
"If I were a parent of a child at a residential college, I would probably expect a dean
or some comparable person, other than an
inexperienced campus security officer, to

get involved before such a serious decision
was made about my child," said Lombard.
On Thursday December, 2 at 3 p.m. the
second forum was held at the Clarke Field
House in the Grand Salon.
The same three members of the CSUSM
Police Force attended the forum.
Schultheis said the primary goal of the
forums was to produce "awareness of who
we are and what we do."
A fter the introduction of the officers,
Chief Schultheis led an approximately 25
minute PowerPoint presentation discussing the CSUSM Campus Police which
closely followed the presentation given at
the previous forum.
In this presentation he supplied information regarding the perimeter of the department's jurisdiction, the demographics of
the CSUSM Campus Police Force and the
training that police officers must undergo
to obtain position on the CSUSM Campus
Police Force.
To end his presentation Schultheis displayed statistics about police reports and
arrests f rom years 1999-2004.
Woodard referred to the statistics as
"skewed" due to the fact that the statistics
also displayed arrests and reports that had
occurred outside of campus.
A fter the presentation another question
and answer forum was mediated by Professor Portillos.
The discussion was opened up by Fil
Knoff, President and CEO of a San Diego
marketing company.
Mr. Knoff and his wife reside two blocks
from CSUSM, on Rush Drive.
The couple told the story of how their
mid-30's, lawyer son was pulled over
by Campus police on Twin Oaks Valley
Road.
They said the officer's reason for the
stop was the placement of Mr. K noffs
son's temporary registration permit on his
vehicle. They said the officer who made
the stop proceeded to take Mr. K noffs
son's wallet, questioned him, patted him
down, and made him take a sobriety test.
The pair claimed that Mr. Knoff ended
up coming down to the scene before the
officer released their son, but without
returning his wallet.
Mr. and Mrs. Knoff were thanked for
coming forward and then invited to file a
formal complaint.
Several students and other San Marcos
residents came forward to express similar
instances they felt constituted a pattern of
police harassment.
One San Marcos resident told a story
of how he was arrested and his car was
impounded for an expired registration.
"Give me a call and I'd like to look into
it," responded Schultheis.
Sociology Professor Sharon Elise and a
female dorm resident expressed their concern for the scrutiny that dorm residents
were feeling from Campus Police.
Elise also expressed concern over citations given to drivers at the crosswalks of
CSUSM.
These concerns were responded to with
what appeared to be the popular response
for the session, "we'll look into it."
Once again audience members voiced
concerns about racial profiling.
Assistant Chief of Police Aaron Woodard expressed his interest in this question
and passionately assured the audience that
he himself, an African-American, would
not allow racial profiling on his police
force.
" I've been black a lot longer then I have
been blue and I am sensitive to discrimination issues," said Woodard.
The event concluded by all three officers
expressing interest in having annual police
forums in the f uture, and encouraging the
community to participate in upcoming
forums.

department at the forum can also be found

Make your own T-shirt
STORY AND PHOTOS BY DANIEL LOWE
Pride Staff Writer
Make your own Vintage T-shirt
Retro is cool. Vintage T-shirts are in.
Statement tees are all over the place. They
indicate a rich personal history and a spirit
of authenticity. But really, how authentic
are they? How many of you are wearing
that "Beaver Lake Lacrosse" T-shirt, but
have never played lacrosse and never even
heard of Beaver Lake? How many of you
have seen that "Relish Today, Ketchup
Tomorrow" T-shirt and thought you could
make up something funnier?
Rather than pay $15-$25 for a T-shirt
that you could probably make yourself, try
and go for it. Make it yourself. With an
ink jet printer, a plain T-shirt and a sheet
of T-shirt transfer paper, you can make
your own vintage looking T-shirt for a lot
less than the ones found in stores. Whe£
someone asks you, "Where did you get that
T-shirt," you can tell him or her, "I made it
myself." Here's how to do it.
Materials:
The first thing you need to do is get the
right materials. Locate an ink jet printer.
If you don't own one yourself, ask a friend
to borrow theirs. Next you'll need a Tshirt. Depending on what style you like,
you can get them in a number of places.
Ringer tees look the best for vintage Tshirts but plain T-shirts can look good
also. Footloqjcer sells 5 plain T-shirts for
$20. Go to Staples or any office supply
store in the paper section for T-shirt heat
transfer paper. If you want to print on a
light colored T-shirt, you can purchase
the normal paper. They usually sell for
approximately a dollar a sheet. If you are
printing on a dark colored fabric, you will
need to buy the opaque transfer paper.
Dark fabric transfer sheets cost more, but
you'll need them if you're making a dark
colored T-shirt.
T-shirt Design:
Now that you have your materials, you
will need to make your T-shirt design.
Use any standard graphics program on
your computer. If you don't have one, even
Paint that comes with Windows XP will
work. Locate a retro looking font on your
computer. If you don't have one, there
are plenty of free font sites on the Internet. You'll also need some sort of graphic.
If you can't draw your own, there are also
retro clip art sites on the Internet where
you can find a good graphic. Use only one
or two colors for your t-shirt. Make them
match your T-shirt. Dark red on a pink Tshirt looks good.
Put your Design on the T-shirt:
Now that you have a design, you need
to print it out. Be sure to set your printer
on reverse or "mirror" image. Print a test
on a normal sheet of paper before you
print out your design on the transfer paper.
Cut out your design carefully. Follow the
instructions that came with the heat transfer sheets. A few tips:
1) Iron over the design with as much
downward pressure as possible.
2) Go over the design multiple times.
3) Use a flat table; do not use an ironing
board.
Try your T-shirt on! If the first T-shirt
didn't turn out as well as you would like,
try again. You can make custom T-shirts
for as little as $5 a T-shirt if you're good
at it. Next time you see a T-shirt that says
"South Dakota: Where my dawgs at," feel
good that you're wearing a T-shirt that
truly reflects your own individual style.

Batteries not included
Solar powered jacket
BY CHRIS KING
Pride Staff Writer
It's time to break the glass that surrounds that lit up red button that reads
"Christmas shopping mode". Creativity and originality are traits that people
tend to hone in on during the rigorous
shopping season. Some gifts succeed
and others get that "maybe you'll get it
right next year" grin on Christmas Day.
For some, avoiding that response could
push prudence right out the door.
If you're willing to drop about
$500 this season on a friend or family
member who is a gadget junky, look
no further than the SCOTTeVEST
3.0. The 30-pocket solar power jacket
is the first of its kind and it can house
and power just about any gadget as
long as it's Universal Serial Bus (USB)
compatible—on the market including
PDA's, MP3 players, Game Boys, cell
phones and many other devices.
Removable Solar panels on the back
of the jacket convert sun light into
energy which in turn allows a small
central battery about the size of a deck
of cards to power your gadgets. Direct
sunlight is not required as the battery
is fully charged within two to three
hours.
The pockets are arranged so that
you may run headphones and headsets
without exposing any wires. Pockets
can be found all over the torso, shoulders and arms. It even has storage for
bottles and hats.
From wet to extremely dry, the
SCOTTeVEST 3.0 can function in all
weather conditions. Externally, it consists of a lightweight, water-proof and
breathable material. Internally, there
is mesh lining for cooling and an avail-
able 12 pocket fleece vest for sustaining warmth. It comes in red, black and
stealth and is available in virtually any
size.
SCOTTeVEST 3.0 can be purchased
at scottevest.com or retailers such as
Sports Authority, Mobile Planet, Spy
Museum and Neiman Marcus.
Alright, so you're searching for the ultimate
Christmas gift. What are you going to buy your
friend, boyfriend, girlfriend, or relative that'll
make their holiday that much brighter?
Well I have the answer; h2o Audio has produced water proof housing for both iPods and
iPod minis. The water proof housing for the
iPod and the iPod minis go under the titles of
Sv-iPod, and Sv-imini.
On ipodlounge.com they describe the Svimini as being "the first fully waterproof and
submersible housing for Apple's iPod mini."
If you're a surfer or a swimmer, you could not
ask for a better Christmas gift then an iPod
accompanied by a SviPod, or an iPod mini
accompanied by the
Sv-imini.
Imagine sitting out
in the ocean, waiting for a good wave,
and listening to your
favorite band, or how
about swimming laps
and rocking out while
doing so, I really don't
it
think life could get
much better. There
Photos courtesy of is a catch though,
Anders Steele
the Sv-iPod is back
ordered until March 14, 2005, but the Sv-imini
is available now.
Both the Sv-imini
and the Sv-ipod run for
the price of $149.95.
Both products come
with waterproof MP3
player housing, a
waterproof
headset
and silicon earplug,
secure latching and
the products allow
easy access to control
the MP3's functions
and are submersible
up to 10ft/3m.
So if you pretty
much want to buy someone the best g ift ever the
answers is Sv-iPod and the Sv-imini, trust me
it'll be worth the wait.
The year-long gift
Magazine subscriptions
BY KATIE POWERS
Pride Staff Writer
Easy Christmas Gifts
The g ift that keeps on
giving all year long—a magazine subscription is the
answer to any holiday g ift
giving hang-ups.
Magazine subscriptions are
cheap, easy to find and will
delight friends and family
members. A subscription to
most popular magazines run
anywhere from $12 to $30. A
few magazines offer a twofor-one deal, thus you buy
your mom a subscription to
"Organic Styles" and you get
one for free.
Signing up for a subscription is easy. Many times non-
profit organizations will sell
subscriptions as a form of
fundraising. However, if this
not available to you, check
the inserts of magazines at
the drugstore for subscription information. With so
many special interest magazines available you're sure to
find the perfect subscription
for whomever you're shopping for.
Also, if you subscribe to a
magazine as a gift for someone, the following year the
magazine will send you a
reminder to renew their subscription for another year,
and voila, your Christmas
shopping is completed for
life.

Jock Talk With Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
I 've written 28 "Jock
Talks" since
I j oined " The
Pride". This
is my last
column f or
the semester
and it could
p ossibly
be my last column with " The
Pride". It hasn't been very easy
to pump out a sports column
every week since sports isn't
the biggest of concerns on this
campus.
Since many here don't know
the difference between a first
down and a touchdown I have
tried to throw in a lot of variety into my columns. I related
sports to real life problems such
as people trying to b e something
they aren't; I tried to be somewhat comedic when I wondered
which athlete would make a good
President; I shared a very personal story when I wrote about
Ken Caminiti; I even wrote
entertainment reviews when I
saw "Friday Night Lights" and
read "The Last Season". One
thing I have tried t o stay away
from is just completely focusing on sports because a lot of
elements in sports can easily b e
related to real life.
This semester has b een very
different f rom the previous
semester. I have b een criticized
by our Ombudsman because
Jason feels that I don't write
enough about sports, " ...are we
ever going to read about sports...
I t urn to the sports page t o get
your spin on things that are
actually happening in sports."
came f rom his column on October 1 2,2004.
Basically my response to that
was if you want t o get my "spin
on things that are actually happening in sports" then go open
up the "San Diego Union-Tribune" on a given day and read
articles I write for them. In
other words, I wanted t o make
"Jock Talk" my own.
Several weeks ago Jason
learned the struggles of having a
weekly column when he resorted
to writing his column in limericks. He would later empathize
with me the struggles of t rying
t o appeal to our readership in a
weekly column. So, if you t hink
its easy filling a column each
week for one semester, let alone
two like I have, it certainly is
not. I am glad to hear that Jason
is coming back next semester
because I t hink the feathers that
he has r uffled need to b e r uffled
a little more. That leads me into
t hanking a few people who have
helped improve "Jock Talk".
Many times this semester
I reached a point where I had
n o topic in mind. T hankfully
Scott Phillips joined the staff
and helped me come u p with
topics such as the Del Mar Race
Track, Fantasy Football, and if I
thought the Chargers could keep
on winning. Jason Encabo added
a new element to "Jock Talk"
this semester as he is the one
that found a picture or created
an illustration to accompany my

words. Finally, Eric Mercado,
the Features editor who edited
my column did a great j ob not
cutting my column, allowing
me to say everything I wanted
to say on a weekly basis.
The reason for the uncertainty
around my return next semester
is that I don't plan on taking
the class due to an already f ull
schedule. I would like to continue my column even though
I am not enrolled in the class,
but th^t decision is entirely up
to the jtwo returning editors-in
chief who are unsure about how
the paper will change.
Now to appease Jason and
the rest of you who read this for
sports I better actually throw
some sports into this column.
This semester I can compare " The P ride" staff to the
1997-1998 Chicago Bulls. O ur
Ombudsman Jason is kind of
like Dennis Rodman as he is
probably the most controversial writer. Elizabeth Baldwin
and Michael Dolan are the Jerry
Krause of " The Pride" because
they r un the show around here as
the editors-in-chief. Our advisor
Jenifer Woodring is like Phil
Jackson because she coaches us
when it's needed. The writers
who don't have a weekly column
are kind of like Steve Kerr, Luc
Longley, and all the other role
players on that Bulls team. Just
like the Bulls, The Pride would
not b e a success without them.
I don't know where I fit into
that team. I would like to think
I am Michael Jordan because
MJ did what he had to do to
win and no matter what I find
a way to do what I have to do to
get a weekly column out there.
Also, MJ retired on two different occasions only to return and
dominate and like M J I don't
know if I will return. So, who
knows if this column is Michael
Jordan's final game as a Washington Wizard or if it's my shot
over Bryon Russell in the NBA
finals to send "Jock Talk" into a
short break and then return next
semester?

CSUSM 8th in t he nation
Cross-country team goes beyond expectations
BY NICHOLAS T YERMAN
For the Pride
Nine members of the men and
women Cougar cross-country
team were in action at the N AIA
National Championships in Louisville, Kentucky November 20.
Kicking o ff the morning at 8:30
a.m., were the Cougar studs Jenni
Johnson and Anne-Marie Byrne.
On the muddy grass course these
ladies showed amazing composure under tremendous pressure. Johnson ran 17:48 for the
5k (3.1mile) race placing her
in fifth place, giving her AllAmerican honors while improving on her 8th place 18:06 performance f rom last year; giving
Johnson the perfect ending to a
senior season. Anne-Marie ran
18:41 for the 5k race placing her
in 37th which improved tremendously on her 47th 18:55 performance f rom the year before. This
was no easy task for a j unior who
has made it her tradition to qualify to Nationals every year she
has competed in college, which
is a great accomplishment itself.
A n hour later the men started their
j ourney on the 8k (5mile) race that
t urned into a muddy adventure
for championship glory. Going in
as underdogs since their ranking
headed into the race was 17 out
of 28 teams competing, the top 7
Cougar men toed the line not as
individuals but as one unit, shall
we say a family. Their pulses
racing with excitement as the final
seconds before the gun to fires
seems to take minutes. Crack.
With that single sound all the
nerves disappear as business as
usual begins for the Cougar men
who make their way through the
.competition of 252 other runners.
A s the clock clicks over to read
the time of 25:12 the first Cougar,
Daniel Lyon, crosses the finish
line in 12th place giving h im his
first Ail-American honor only in
his sophomore season of collegiate competition. Coming in 24th
place Jesse A rmijo claims the last
Ail-American honor of the day for
the cougars finishing in a time of
25:30, giving this senior captain a
moment that he shall cherish forever.
Chris O 'Neal finished in an
impressive 65th place in a time
of 26:19 finishing out his senior
year with a flash by out kicking
the 66th and 67th r unner in the
finishing chute by less than one
second.
Coming in next was the tremendous Cougar pack attack of
Jace Getskow, Polo Mariscal, Phil
H offman, and Tim Irwin. Jace finished in 138th place with a time of
27:07 giving this f reshman a f antastic season t o build on f or the
next three years.
Mariscal, only a junior, moved
up great f rom the h alfway point of
the race giving h im 162nd place
with a time of 27:24. Phil H offman ran 27:35 giving h im a placing of 176th leaving this f reshman cougar hungrier for the next
season to improve on his performance. Tim finished in 180th
place with a time of 27:37 leaving
this junior satisfied with his first
trip to Cross-Country Nationals.
The courageous performance
by this Men's squad showed the
nation that their 17th rank was f ar
off by placing as a team 8th place
in the nation. For such a young
and inexperienced team the f uture
looks bright for the years to come
under the tutelage of Coach Steve
Scott.

�OPINION
T H E P RIDE
By JASON NICHOLS
P Ä Ombudsman
I was going to do some sorta
holiday theme, or 'the semester
is over,' or 'finals are here/ or
perhaps a 'stroll down memory
lane' column. But, that sorta
thing tends to be a Chinese
water-torture of cliché that H i
not submit you to. No need to
make you wet while your areolas are stiff as boards from the
cold. (Biology majors are the
only ones that'll get that joke.)
Better to think of this last
little grey puppy as a season
finale. Three weeks ago, I left
this column with a cliffhanger.
Would I receive 'Helios' and
stay cm the jobfornext semester,
or would I get a 'U-HauP and be
told to take a hike? I know it's
not up to par with an X-file biteyour-nails, can't wait for the
next episode enticement, but it's
not like I've got alien conspiracies to work with here.
TRUST NO ONE!
Sure 'nough, I got a stream
of emails that all said 'Hello,'
so I'm on the job. You com-
plete me, and I'll be your Renee
Zellweger. Just know, I'm not
as cute and definitely can't shed
the pounds like her. Either way,
I was whip-id happy ya'll dig
my tunes so I'm here to stay. (If
you listen hard enough, you can
just make out the cringes of the
Pride s taff)
I was so friggin' st(r)oked in
fact, my head grew in size from
your votes of approval and feeling empowered by the el/rection, I turned my 'aggressive
criticism' on the Editors. You
don't know what I mean cause
that particular column, submitted for last week's issue,
went the way of Mulder in the
8th season. Since I can't repeat
the words in that column withoutfeeinganother 'editing decision,' I've emailed that article
and correspondence on the
matter to those readers that had
sent me 'hellos.' If you'd like
a copy, just tap my shoulder at
nicho028@csusm.edu.
Now, I hate to go on in this
grey box about my little world,
seems that's all most columns in
this collection of tree-skins ever
do. But, I'm running on faith
here that you care enough 'bout
this little grey box, to care what
happened to it last week.
After submitting my article,
I had a fun-filled meeting with
Elizabeth Baldwin and Michael
Dolan, the Editors-in-chief, and
they informed me in no-uncertain terms (my gluteus maximus
is now a gluteus minimus) that
theyfeltmy article 'grossly misrepresented' the Editorial staff.
As such, they decided my 'opinion' was misleading and that I
was not acting in the best interests of the readers. In fact, I
was told that particular portions
of my criticism of the editorial
staff "has nothing to do with the
J e£ders*
/
. f\ \
;
Obviously, I disagreed.
I don't doubt they believed
they were being loyal to the
readers, or doing what was iii the
best interests of the Pride. The
funny thing was, that's exactly
how I felt.
I was given the option to
"revise" my column or have it
axed.
Don't get me wrong, it's not
like I'm suggesting I had to
comprimise my principles or
anything. I mean, I was given
an 'option.'
Now, it's their right to decide
not to publish my column, since
it's their butts on the line if this
paper is ever sued for libel. I'm
still wondering how my 'opinion' would have led to a suit, but
I thought it fair you know the
pressure they're under. In the
end, I 'chose' to have the column
axed. I'd rather not print, than
print what others feel I should.
What some might refer to as
"bureaucratic manipulation?"
Perhaps, in a hand-written issue
of the Pride some time back?
In advance of the question,
"how does this relate to you the
reader?" I'm gonna throw out
the "C" word that rhymes with
zensorship.
As the Ombudsman, the
lamest title I've had since
Seaman (man-juice) and Petty
(small) Officer, my job has been
more than just getting you to
giggle. Though, I'm tickled I
make you laugh (with me, not
at me!)
I'm the reader's advocate, or so
I'm told. The person that holds
the newspaper to a standard of
journalism that has wild notions
of trust and integrity, as well as
pertinence and quality You'd
think some autonomy goes
along with that notion. How
else to trust that the Ombudsman isn't just taking the side of
the newspaper?
Perhaps, I was just being
the miscreant that I've always
tended to be when I conceived of
a crazy little notion to 'aggressively criticize' those in charge
of the Pride, after readers submitted the following throughout
this semester:
"I realize that I am not the
only person that thinks some of
the articles are asinine in their
content." "you [the Ombudsman} are not afraid to call it [the
Pride] what it is.. .crap."
-Morgan McCorkle, email to
Ombudsman.
"ASI should reconsider student fund support for a newspaper that has major problems
with its headlines."
-Bob Dickey, editorial letter.
(ASI doesn't fund the Pride
by the way)
"Students deserve better from
the Editors of the Pride"
-Jonathan Poullard, email to
Ombudsman.
"I strongly urge you [the
Pride] to research your facts
before printing them [articles].
Beyond misleading students
it makes the Pride look unreliable."
-Bryan I Watkins, editorial
letter.
"For the last weeks it seems
that all you [the Pride] write
about is Michael Moore. I want
to know who makes the decision
on what to write."
-Carmelino Cruz, editorial
letter,
"Why is it that our school is
like Saved by the Bell? What
I mean is that it is the same 10
cast our [sic] members in every
aspect of our campus life (ASI,
PAN, Pride, Etc...). I even
heard that Zack Morris (Erik
Roper) was gone yet he still gets
the number one spot on the editorial page."
-West^ Rogers, editorial
letter.
"Not even one article in the
Pride was devoted to the Veteran's Day ceremony. What was
the Pride afraid of?"
-Nathan Loomis, editorial
letter.
Damn, and I was trying to
avoid a stroll down memory
lane.
Well, finals are here. The
semester is pretty much over.

won't be long before I'm in those
shoes and I fear that class availability will only get worse. Fortunately for seniors, they are privileged with priority registration
above the other classes; unfortunately for sophomores, because
there is a first in line, there must
also be a last in line. Some freshmen are preparing for this transition simply by dragging out
their freshman status. By taking
four classes instead offivein the
spring of 2005, they are guaran-
teed registration before many of
their peers, at least for fall 2005.
According to the CSUSM website, the projected enrollment at
our campus is 11,000 students
in the fall of 2012. In case you're
wondering, no, I don't plan to be
an eighth year senior, but if the
faculty does not start making
some adjustments to accommodate the annual increase of enrollment, registering for classes will
become more and more of a headache.

Dear Editor,
Congratulations are in order
to those of us to graduate this
fall even if our own university is
incapable of doing so properly.
The Fall Grad Reception held
November 30th at the Escondido
Center for the Performing Arts

than a celebration for fall graduates. Five speakers were slotted
to take the stage, one of which

scrolled through the names of the
graduates and the horribly tacky
centerpieces you still would not
be capable of finding an inspiring moment during the whole 45
minute reception. That might be
because the only real celebration
our university has to offer graduates occurs in the spring. So, for
those who finish in the fall, we are
asked to keep May 15th open. Our
administration requests that we
simply look at the spring semester as a break and return in May
to receive the congratulations we
rightfully deserve. I might consider it after they apologize to all
of the parents who attended the
ronmental policies on air pollution make
the air we breathe more dangerous than
the suicidal terrorists themselves.
Where is our War on Suicides, the War
on Cancer, and the War on Alcoholism?
Domestically these problems are a far
grater than the threat of terrorism. Do
you realize our current policy spends more
money & time killing people rather than
saving people? -1,200 Americans solders
dead in Iraq; 15,000 Iraqi civilians dead.
Wake up America! We need to question how we conduct our foreign policy.
Although I agree we should keep an eye on
terrorism, think about know how much we
could achieve if we invested 200 billon or a
fraction of that on safety for cars, smoking
prevention, or on renewable energy. We
would be saving a lot more live;s. These
corporations are ripping off the government by overcharging for their services
and the money is coming right out of your
pocket. It is because of the powerful corporations lobbying politicians with millions
of dollars, that we keep fighting the war.
If there is no war to fight, there will not be
any demand for the bombs, computers systems and tactical weapons. In this capitalistic society an industry will do everything they can do to stop others from cutting into their profits. This includes peace.
My republican friends, I and most of us
don't have a several billion dollar capital to
invest to create solutions; we need the help
of the government. I think it would be
nice if "pro-life" people supported money

as you talk, you are still killing a human
life." Take a moment to think how much
we value human life in war time.
Do we have to listen to the constant
echo machine of the media? We all know
"hope is [NOT] on the way." Democrats,
democrats what can I say. You are just as
guilty as the damn rightists. Why did we
support a guy who spent the whole time
fighting as if he was going to lose? Is there
an opposition party any more? He conceded immediately, and now we're "looking ahead." You guys better hope that the
majority that holds complete power now
doesn't cancel democracy and or declare
martial law because they are in a position
where they can take over the country.
These are the cards we have been dealt.
Now we can do one two things. We can

the next four years. We as students know
that if we want something, we can get it by

A Christmas Carol
BY HEATHER HOFFMANN
Pride Staff Writer
"The Christmas Carol" is a classic
story and is now being preformed by the
San Diego Repertory Theater for the 29th
year at the Lyceum Theatre in downtown
San Diego. D.W. Jacobs adapted the
Charles Dickens' story which is being
directed by Todd Salovey. This year the
cast is enthusiast, the sets are beautiful,
and the music is festive.
Imagine having the power to remember things forgotten in the past, to understand the present and see your future.. .do
you think you would change anything?
Ebenezer Scrooge (Peter Van Norden)
is an angry old man who refuses to have
any part of Christmas. Scrooge is rude
to his family and his employees. He
finds joy in money and pleasure in other's misery.
One night Scrooge sees the spirit of his
old friend and business partner Marley
(Douglas Roberts) who warns him that
he will be visited by three ghosts that
will give him the chance to revisit his
past, make sense of the present, and see
what his life will be like in the future.
Marley's costume is the most interesting
part of his visit, his face and wrist chains
both glow.
When the Ghost of Christmas Past
(Shana Wride) arrives she takes Scrooge
on a trip back to his past. She takes him
to his childhood and reminds him of
things he used to love and of the people
who impacted his life. This is the best
part of this play. The sets are gorgeous
and the music really puts you in the mood
for the holidays.
This would have been the perfect place
for an intermission. The show plays
for 90 minutes straight through with no
breaks. It is hard to pay attention and sit
quietly for that long.
Next the Ghost of Christmas Present (Douglas Roberts) arrives and gives
Scrooge the chance to see how he is
currently affecting the lives of people.
First he takes Scrooge to the home of his
employee Bob Cratchit (Steve Gunderson) and shows him how his family still
celebrates even though they are short on
money and their youngest child is sick.
Then he takes him to his nephew's house
THE PRIDE
Gwen Stefani:
"Love. Angel. Music. Baby."
BY PATRICIA GUEVARRA
Pride Staff Writer
111:1. J

/
Photo courtesy of San Diego Repertory Theatre
where he sees a party going on with out
him and the guests making jokes about
him. Both houses toast Scrooge and
include him in their celebration even
though he chose not to attend. The Ghost
of Christmas Present has the most amazing costume in the show and it's good
because it gives you something to look at
when the play looses your interest.
Finally, the Ghost of Christmas Future
(Trevor Hollingsworth) shows Scrooge
that his future is non-existent and no one
will mourn or miss him. The Ghost of
Christmas Future is huge and does nothing but point. This is the weakest point of
the play, which is sad because it's trying
to convey the most powerful message.
If you're still paying attention, you'll
see that Scrooge's life is changed by the
ghosts. He decides to redeem himself by
undoing some of the wrongs he's done to
change the present so the future will be
different.
Although this show has great intentions, it fails to deliver. If you expect to
leave in the holiday spirit you will be disappointed.
Decide for yourself, tickets can be
purchased at the box office 79 Horton
Plaza and students receive a 50 percent
discount. You can also contact the box
office by phone (619) 544-1000 or online
at www.sandiegorep.com. The show is
running until December 26.
CAUTION: This is a DANCE
ALBUM.
Gwen Stefani and Andre 3000 . . .
what?! Yep, that's right. She's no longer
crawling through her spider webs.
Gwen Stefani's newly released solo
album, "Love. Angel. Music. Baby", is a
completely new sound for this ska chick.
She really dives into some Hip-Hop,
Dance, and even some Japanese Pop with
techno beats making her almost like this
generation's Dee-Lite. Imagine those 80s
songs like J.J. Fad's "Supersonic" or some
Cyndi Lauper tunes, that's what you're
getting.
This album features her collaborations
with hip hop artists Eve, The Neptunes,
Andre 3000, and even Andre's alter ego
Johnny Vulture allowing her to exhibit
her musical versatility. She even samples
Notorious B.I.G.'s, "Big Poppa" (also
sampled from Marvin Gaye) in her song
"Luxurious." I never imagined hearing
such a great Biggie track with Gwen's
voice singing, "We're LUXURIOUS like
Egyptian cotton. We're so rich in love
were rollin' in cashmere."
As for the
rest of the album, I gotta be honest; the
lyrics are like a flashback of Madonna's
nightmare rap served with lattes. "I picture you driving just like Mario Andretti.
I got the Kush, Kettle One, waiting for
your engine," from "Crash," which was
produced by her band mate Tony Kanal.
I seriously had to take a double look and
say, "what!?
The lyrics aren't all there to make Gwen
a hip hop artist. If you just listen to the
songs, lyrics and beat together, it makes a
good combination. I'm expecting to hear
some of her songs played during College
Night at the clubs.
The last track, "Long Way To Go", produced and also performed by Outkast's
Andre 3000, really made me excited. Stefani sings: "It's beyond Martin Luther,
upgrade c omputer... If all men are made
equal then she/he was fine." Her message
about equality reminds listeners of Martin
Luther King's dream, "children will one
day live in a nation where they will not
be judged by.. .the color of their skin.. .but
by the content of their character..." Like
I said before, this album is not your typical vibe from No Doubt's, Gwen Stefani.
This album is about Gwen, the solo artist
and her dance beats. If you can get past the
lyrics, then this is a CD that you can't help
but move to. Just remember, don't expect
to hear some punk or ska.

Get turned
"Sideways"
A Si E
THE PRIDE
BY SARAH COLESON
Pride Staff Writer
It's all about the randomness of life. Those beautifully choreographed moments where - for a split
second - everything just seems to become clear and
you realize that the life you are choosing to live is
not as fulfilling as you had dreamed it would be.
If you had not been in that place, at that time, with
that person, you know that this epiphany would have
never occurred.
Miles (Paul Giamatti) and Jack (Thomas Hayden
Church) decided to take a seven day trip to wine
country in celebration of Jack's last week as a single
man.
The pair of old college roommates could not have
been more different. They were close friends, but
they lived completely different lifestyles.
Miles went to Northern California to drink wine
and play golf. Jack went to take advantage of his
final opportunity to get laid before his upcoming
wedding.
The insecure, neurotic, and introspective Miles
could be compared to the grapes that produce a fine
Pinot - they can only grow in certain climates, have
extremely thin skin, and are temperamental when
exposed to the elements of the outside world.
Jack, the womanizing, has-been Television star,
is like a house Merlot - the grapes can thrive in any
environment, regardless of rain or shine and the
wine they produce has a distinct robust flavor that
everyone recognizes, but is usually enjoyed in moderation.
Writer-director Alexander Payne's fourth film
(following "Citizen Ruth," "Election" and "About
Schmidt") does an excellent job showing how these
two men illuminate each others differences, but

by doing this - they are able to recognize and confront the shortcomings in their own lives. Payne
allows the audience the unique ability to see inside
the characters and provides cinematic moments that
provoke uncontrollable laughter and others that produce a quiet "ah-ha!"
If instant gratification is what you seek in a movie,
"Sideways" is probably not for you. But if you are
willing to approach the movie as you would a vintage wine - cork the bottle, fill up one third of your
glass, swish it around, inhale its distinct aroma -f all
before you take that first fulfilling sip, then you will
appreciate the wit, humor, and intelligence in this
film.
"Alexander" the not so great
BY AMANDA JOHNSON
Pride Staff Writer

As Ptolemy (Anthony Hopkins) said,
"All men will reach and fall," and so did
the movie "Alexander."
"Alexander" chronicles the life of
Alexander (Colin Farrell), from his
childhood years through his short life
as king. His father, King Philip (Val
Kilmer), is murdered when Alexander
is barely 20 years old making Alexander
his predecessor. As a young king with
ambition, he leads his undefeated Greek
and Macedonian armies through Persia
and into India. He spreads his kingdom,
but after his defeat in India, he leads his
army home to Babylon, where his dies at
the age of 32.
Director Oliver Stone attempts to recreate Alexander's life as an interesting
movie, but fails miserably. The threehour movie is filled with mostly dialogue and little action. The few battle
scenes that are in the movie have music
that sometimes feels a little out of place
and offbeat. The beginning jumps
between past and present so much that
it becomes hard to follow. Although it
is hard to chronicle a man's life in only
three hours, a lot more could have been
done so the viewer could follow along,
or at least keep from walking out of the
theatre.
But to give some credit, the battle
scenes were outstanding, if you could get
past the music. The,details of blood and
gore, with men losing legs and elephants
losing trunks; was so realistic, rather
disgusting to this writer, that one would
have to be impressed with the people
on the graphics team. The makeup of
the war wounds was also very realistic,
especially of a warrior and his missing
eye. The details put into the movie on
graphics and makeup far exceeded the
plotline, which itself was very dull.
Beside the fact that Olympias (Angelina Jolie) never ages in the movie and
her son does, she was mostly a believable |
character. Kilmer does an impressive job
as the drunken father, and Farrell wasn't
too bad either. There were, however, a
few scenes where an unnamed character in Alexander's army would speak
up with what sounded to be a Scottish
accent. Although this writer's history
could be inaccurate, it seems a little out
of place for a Scotsman to be in Greece.
"Alexander" reaches hard to be a great
movie with a quality cast, but the horrible
plotline, boring dialogue and little action
makes this movie fall to the bottom of
the "wait for video" list.

Protests on campus erupted
as students sought to give voice
to ongoing issues they feel
are being ignored by CSUSM
administrators and staff.
Student Claude Sayf rallied a
group of students on November
9 who were upset about remarks
university spokesperson Paige
Jennings made regarding the
arrest of Jason Williams and
larger issues of racial profiling.
Jennings is quoted in the
November 5 edition of the
North County Times saying,
"William's race was not a factor
in the incident,"
About 30 students walked to
Jennings's office to confront
her.

Financial
Aid woes
Problems getting
financial assistance
plague some students
BY HEATHER HOFFMANN
Pride Staff Writer
Students joined together to have their
voices heard when they marched to CSUSM
President Karen Haynes' office on November 10, and remained there until they could
see the president. Approximately 24 students waited in the boardroom adjacent
to the president's office and when Haynes
arrived the group presented her with a letter
expressing their concerns.
The letter was presented to Haynes by
Progressive Activist Network (PAN) President, Julie Bennington, and it expressed
frustration regarding Haynes' inaccessibility and lack of support for students.
Students chose to stand quietly around the
President Haynes listens to student
concerns.
VOL. XII NO. 12
As if juggling school, work, homework, and family isn't hard enough,
many CSUSM students also worry
how they'll pay for tuition next
semester.
The financial aid office in Craven
Hall 4204 is set up to help students
getfinancialassistance, but for some
students it actually provides more
headaches than money.
Financial aid paperwork is extensive and once it's complete there is
no guarantee financial aid will be
provided.
If a student is granted financial
aid there is no guarantee the funding
will sustain them until graduation.
"I was supposed to graduate next
December. A month ago I got a letter
from Cal Grant saying this was my
last year on financial aid," said student Diane Gallego.
Gallego, taking 12 units each
semester, has made the dean's list
while working part time to support
her family. In terms of completed
units, she currently stands somewhere between a junior and a senior.
The Cal Grant is only good for four
years, but Gallago has about another
year until graduation.
"I don't know what I'm going to
do next semester," said Gallago.
Augusta Fruzyna has a different problem with financial aid. She
takes advantage of a veteran's grant,
however she lost her grant because
she made too much money at work.
"It's a lose/win situation. I don't
make enough money to live comfortably, but then if I make enough

Campus groups gather for peace
BY HEATHER HOFFMANN
Pride Staff Writer
Peace was celebrated at CSUSM—in spite
of several obstacles—when PAN and the College Democrats hosted the first annual Peace
Picnic on the lawn in front of the library on
November 10.
Student groups such as, College Democrats,
PAN, Woman's Studies Student Association
(WSSA), Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender Alliance (L.G.B.T), and the College
Republicans.all set up tables at the eVent àlòng
with community groups such as Code Pink
and San Diego Coalition of Peace and Justice
to provide students with more information on
ways to promote peace. The groups also provided speakers.
"The picnic was an effort to embrace peace
and equality in our diversity," said Sarah Leonard of PAN. "Between the protest and the election we felt the campus was really divided and
there wasn't a welcoming of diverse opinions.
We wanted to do something where everyone

room holding hands in a show
of solidarity while Haynes read
the letter.
The letter also addressed
students' concerns about the
forum held regarding policing practices on campus held
on November 4, which Haynes
was scheduled to attend.
Haynes stated that the "circumstances of the forum
President Haynes
changed" switching from
a forum, to a discussion of
an "incident-specific event"
and that is why she could not
attend.
The students said that
Haynes' staff gave them several contradictory reasons why
Haynes wasn't there. They
said that someone representing
Haynes should have attended.
"If you support my experience, then you need to listen to
my experience and that is not
what's happening," said Honey
Folk, student and former ASI
President.
"My concerns are to be concerned about the issues and
safety of students, and to also
protect their rights and protect
the rights of all employees.
[Campus] Police are employees
in the University and I have to
guard against them being prejudged," said Haynes.
Another issue the letter

addressed was that students
have a hard time successfully
booking appointments with
the President.
"Students realize that we
don't have to sit back and
take it. We don't have to wait
around for her to decide it's a
good time to meet," said Bennington. "We have valid questions."
The students and Haynes
discussed several ways to fix
the problem, one of which was
a form students can fill out to
help schedule meetings more
effectively. The students and
the Haynes agreed to have a
meeting about how to meet,
and then to meet on the issues.
When the discussion was finished Haynes thanked everyone for sharing before leaving
for another appointment.
"I think what we had to say
was effective in that we were
heard, but not so effective in
the sense that we didn't get
a good answer" said Bennington. "We will definitely follow up."

I don't get funded for school," said Fruzyna.
Having over 300 veterans that attend
CSUSM, and many more eligible for veterans' grants through family members,
Fruzyna isn't the only one who struggles
to balance personal income and qualifying for government aid.
Student Elsie Solis is frustrated with
the process. Despite being financially
independent of her family, she still finds
it difficult to get grants.
"I signed up early but still didn't get
the grant because my parents made too
much money. But I'm 23 and I'm not a
part of [dependent on] them anymore.
But they (financial aid) said until your
24 you're still a part of [dependent on]
them," said Solis.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) considers students
dependants of their families until they
are 24, or married, or are working on
their masters/doctoral, or they have a
child that they support.
"It's not something we get kicks out
of either, it's a Congress thing. Write to
your Congress. They feel it's the family's
responsibility until the student is that
specific age," said Cynthia Silman of the
financial aid office in response to Solis'
concerns.
"If a student feels they have special
circumstances to their dependency level
they can check on the dependency override," said Silman.
Dependency override is determined at
the campus level.
"We need to look at the specific situation. There are only a few grants and
scholarships that are specifically four
years," said Silman in response to student concerns about four-year loans.
Solis said that loans are readily available, citing the fact that the government
gives CSUSM students about, "$22 million a year in loans."
More information about loans, grants
or other financial aid can be found at the
Financial Aid Office website at: http://
www.csusm.edu/finaid/ or at the FAFSA
website: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/.
ing about how there is no racial profiling
going on," said Sayf.
"Yes they quoted me. The comment
I made was that according to the police
officers I talked with, this was not a case
of racial profiling," Jennings said to the
group.
Student Honey Folk asked Jennings if
the university was asking the newspaper
to run a correction.
In response, Jennings said that she
wasn't misquoted.
"It was part of a quote. I did say yes,
this was not...," said Jennings stopping
mid-sentence.
After a brief pause, Jennings reiterated that her quote was based on information she received from the Cal State San
Marcos Police Department.
"The President [Haynes] sent out an
email saying we should not make judgments about what happened without all
the information. You represented to the
Spring
registration
i n progress
Tuesday, November 16 2004
newspaper that there is no problem here.
That is not true," said Sayf.
According to Sayf, who compared student demographic information obtained
from the CSUSM website along with
demographic arrest information obtained
from the CSUSM Police Department
website, "twice the percentage of black
and twice the percentage of Latinos" were
arrested by Campus Police than the percentage of these students on campus.
CSUSM Director of Communications
Rick Moore said that comparing arrest
and demographic data doesn't account for
"a lot of people who come to campus that
are not students."
Several students said that campus visitors were not numerous enough to account
for the statistics.
"The people who read the story are now
getting the impression that his [Williams]
race did not enter into the picture, and we
know that to be false," said Folk.
"And let the record show brothers and
sisters, we will not stand for it any longer,"
added Sayf.
The group left Jennings office.
Outside of Craven Hall Sayf said,
"There is only one way we can all make a
difference and that's together."
On November 11 a group of students
gathered in ACD 402 to write letters to
CSUSM Police Chief Tom Schultheis
demanding an investigation into campus
police practices, and that charges against
Jason Williams be dropped.
Shortly after noon some 30 students
marched from the classroom to the police
department to deliver the letters chanting, "Investigate the campus police. Stop
the harassment. Bring the peace," briefly
along the way. The marchers gathered
single-file outside the police department
and delivered their letters one-by-one to
police dispatcher John Frawley who said
he would niake sure the chief got them.

could come."
The picnic was originally scheduled to
happen before the election, but because
organizers invited congressional candidates to speak, it was seen as political and
too high risk. Risk management asked
the student organizations to obtain special
event insurance (at a cost of about $400)
which they attempted to get, but were
denied because the event was seen as high
risk. The administration then gave the
organizers another option; hire a campus
police officer to guard the event.
"Walls-were put up in front of us when
we tried to plan this event," said Mark
Web of the College Democrats.
"The administration is doing the students on this campus a disservice when
they try to stop student originations from
trying to have a platform to discuss different ideas."
"It sends a message to the students when
we have to have a police officer with a gun
at our peace picnic," said Sarah Leonard.
Rain also delayed the event but Thursday the weather cooperated and the picnic
went on as planned.
There was BBQ to feed hungry students
and plenty of guest speakers all spreading
the same message: peace.

so excited to see our little university doing

something," said Communication major
Brandi Feston. "I wish more people were
here, this event really opens your eyes."
Francine Busby, former congressional
candidate, spoke about peace and gave
students ideas on how they could become
peacemakers.
"Each one of us is a peacemaker, and
each one of us has to smile at someone
everyday.. .peace is something we have to
work for," said Busby.
Communication major Jason Williams
shared a personal story and then told
students, "We are not here to be closedminded individuals...we as students have
the power to change the country."
Executive Director of the College
Republicans, Nick Bonomi, offered a different perspective when he spoke on peace
as a Republican

"The Republican party fights for peace

�The cycle of recycling
The journey of recycled bottles and how they
are utilized
BY PHOENIX LINDGREN
Pride Staff Writer
Did you ever wonder what happens to
your empty plastic water bottle after you
shove it through the black rubber slot in
the campus recycling bin? Turns out your
water bottle is headed for one hell of a
journey.
The journey begins when CSUSM's
Blue Team is responsible for emptying
and sorting of the campus recycling bins.
According to the CSIJSM Recycling Green
Team's Mui Sullivan, "Blue Team members (from CSUSM's facilities department) haul the larger wheeled bins to the
recycling sorting area located behind the
Science II building."
The Blue Team corrects any errors students might make while recycling—such
as accidentally putting a glass bottle into
the plastic recycling bin, or vice v e r s a removing garbage from the recycling containers and preparing the recyclables for
pick up by EDCO whenever the bins are
filled.
"EDCO is on an on-call basis," said
Sullivan. "Since the campus population
varies throughout the year, it makes more
sense for us than having a regular pick up
schedule."
When asked if trash in the recycling
bins was a big problem for the Blue Team,
Sullivan didn't think so.
"Once in a while we find a napkin or
something in a recycling bin, but I think
the percentage of garbage found in the
recycling bins is very small," said Sulli-
van.
EDCO hauls the recyclables to its
Escondido sorting facility, where plastic
bottles are separated from the aluminum,
and each other.
EDCO spokesperson George Peterson
said, "Each bin picked up from CSUSM is
spread across a large conveyor belt where
it is manually sorted."
Each type of plastic follows a different
path to be recycled: PET from water bottles will be remanufactured into assorted
polyester products such as fiberfill, clothing, carpet, and HDPE from milk jugs will
become plastic lumber products, recycling
and compost bins.
EDCO compresses the PET plastic
water and soda bottles into pallet-size bundles, which are sold on the open market to
manufacturers like Mohawk Industries in
Summerville, Georgia.
Mohawk spokesperson Roone Gable
was proud of his company's achievements
in PET plastic recycling.
"Mohawk Industries is the world's largest floor covering company, and our polyester division is the largest user of postconsumer recycled PET plastics in the
world," said Gable. Gable went on to say
that Mohawk uses 220 million pounds of
post-consumer recycled PET plastic per
year. "It takes fifteen bottles to make one
pound of carpet; you can imagine how
many billions of bottles we're responsible
for recycling each year," Gable continued.
When asked whether Mohawk was able
to acquire as many recyclable bottles as
needed, Gable was pensive. "There is defi- i
Photo illustrations by Jason Encabo / The Pride
nitely a greater demand than supply, which
is going to make continuing the manufacture of products like ours difficult; prices
for post-consumer recycled PET plastic
are at the high end right now," Gable said.
Currently US consumers recycle approximately 36 percent of PET plastic beverage
containers.
Thefinalstop for thisincarnation of your
plastic water bottle may be the carpet under
your feet. San Marcos carpet retailer West
Coast Flooring sells all of Mohawk Industries 100 percent post-consumer recycled
PET plastic polyester carpets, which can
be ordered through their showroom.
According to the EPA, carpets made of
recycled PET plastic tend to be more stainresistant than other fibers.
If you thought your plastic water bottle
came back as a plastic water bottle, you're
not alone. In fact plastic water bottles can't
be made from plastic water bottles. It's too
costly to disinfect the plastic for that purpose; Coca-Cola tried for two years and it
wasn't cost effective.
So next time you shove your bottle
through that rubber slot, be nice. Your
bottle has a long, long way to go.

If students don't know where to start
looking for an internship that fulfills
their needs, not a problem - students can
receive assistance from Career and Transfer Student Services (CATSS), located at
Craven 4201, in obtaining information and
direction of finding the proper internship
relevant to a student's field of interest,
"If you need help, a career counselor
will gladly help students get situated with
information and explore how to go about
various avenues in finding the proper
internship," said Brenda Dumas, CATSS
employer relations coordinator,
Current and past students of CSUSM
agree that internships give them an advantage over graduates or students looking for
a job.
"There is nothing like hands-on experience and applying what I have learned
at CSUSM with real life situations," said
Teri Renner, human development senior.
"Plus an internship looks fantastic on your
resume."
Randi Delenela, CSUSM sociology
alumnus said, "On my quest for looking
for a job, all employers that I have talked
to want information on my experience. So
I tell them about my duties and responsibilities at my internship. So far, the results
of my job hunt look promising."
The only down side of taking on an
internship is that students have to work
a minimum of 15 hours a week and the
internship must be non-paid to receive
academic credit. Yet, after it is all said and
done, the attractiveness of an internship
may give students that extra umph needed
to impress employers.

�Jock Talk With Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
I don't get

can explain it
to me, but why
is
everyone
always trying
to be something

run into people
everyday
of
my life pretending to be someone else. There is nothing more
annoying in my eyes than when
people kid themselves into being
someone they aren't.
Athletes have spent years
trying to perfect their game yet
for some reason they think they
can start rapping or acting on the
drop of a basketball.
I finally lost my sanity with
these wannabe American Idol's
when I heard that Ron Artest of
the Indiana Pacers just made a
rap album and now he is out pro-
moting it for its November 23
release. Artest has become so
consumed with the promotion
of his album that he has caused
himself extreme exhaustion. He
has been so exhausted that he
requested a month off from the
team so he could rest up.
When I heard the news of his
request I thought to myself, "Who
does this guy think he is?" I mean
the NBA season just started and
he wants to take time off from his
job that he has for only 7 months
out of the year so that he can go
participate in an extra curricular
activity.
The Pacers head coach Rick
Carlisle didn't take to kindly to
the request of Artest and Carlisle
benched Artest for 2 games and
told him he had to come back and
play after the punishment.
As I use my magical sports
mind and look into the future I
can tell you right now that none
of his songs will be Grammy
worthy because there is a reason
why he shoots baskets and not
flows. I mean how many athletes
have platinum selling records?

a student here at Cal
State San Marcos on the
brink of graduating with
my bachelor's degree
in History, specifically
American History with an
emphasis on the American
Indian experience. I am
not of Native blood; in
fact, I am of Irish, English,
German, and Norwegian
descent. I attended Palomar
College after high school to
pursue a career in fashion
design. The classes I
wanted were unavailable
and so on a whim I took
a class in archaeology
and a class in American
Indian studies. My life,
who I am today and who
I will become, began that
semester. While working
toward my associate's
degree in archaeology^ met
many wonderful people of
American Indian descent.
They were kind enough
to share their experiences,
beliefs, opinions, and
laughter with me, giving me
a perspective of the Native
American community that
could never be gleaned
from the pages of academia.
Upon transferring to Cal
State San Marcos, I heard
of the American Indian
Student Alliance (AISA).
I met some students who
were members of this club
in one of my American
Indian History classes and
thought that it would be
interesting t a join and meet
people of American Indian
descent who were my own
age so that we could discuss
contemporary Indian issues.
I thought that maybe I could
help bridge the gap between
archaeologists and Native
Americans by answering
questions that they may have
had regarding archaeology,
and by asking questions
regarding their feelings of
archaeology. The gift I
received by joining AISA
was much more than I could
have ever realized.
I was honored to assist in the
hosting of the Cal State San
Marcos Tukwut Powwow
for two years, an event that
was hosted by AISA in
association with CSUSM
faculty and staff for 11 years.
A powwow is a traditional
gathering of people from
many diverse American
Indian nations to celebrate
life and pray for the sick or
the deceased. Drum groups
and bird singers give the
gift of music, dancers in
regalia dance for prayer or
for competition, modern
traditional Native American
food such as fry bread is
available for sampling, and
arts and crafts by Native
American vendors can be
purchased. The powwow
at Cal State San Marcos
was a spiritual as well as
an educational gathering.
It brought the campus
community (comprised
mostly of non-native
students, faculty, and staff)
together with the American
Indian community. The
Cal State San Marcos
powwow had become so
renowned through the years
that Native people from all
over the United States also
participated in the event.
Atfirst,I thought I would
simply help pick up trash
at the event, but mostly
just sit back and enjoy the
atmosphere of the powwow.
However, it became evident
quite quickly that this event
was one of the most difficult
campus events to host, and
a 110% participation of all
members of AISA and the
powwow committee was
vital. The bureaucratic
red-tape necessary to host
this event was enough to
drown a nuclear-powered
submarine. The cultural
intricacies needed to be
practiced in order to invite
members of the Native
American community were
intimidating and conflicted
with the bureaucratic
methods employed by the
university. There was never
enough money, there were
never enough volunteers,
and there was a lot of sweat
and a lot of tears. The stress
was nauseating.
The powwow would get
started sometime around
10 am on Saturday, the first
weekend of October, and
fingers would be crossed.
The host southern drum
group would begin to sing
blessing songs as people
of all ethnicities started to
gather on the soccer field
turned powwow arena.
Small problems would arise,
but with so many brilliant
minds gathered in one place
a solution would be found
promptly and to the liking of
all parties involved. Burning
sage and fry bread could
be smelled, smiles could
be seen, laughter could be
heard, and tears of pride
and tears for those unable to
share in this event because
of war or death could be
f elt People caught up on
each other's recent activities,
gossip was exchanged, and
American Indian culture was
taught and discussed to those
who had never experienced
a powwow before. By the
end of the weekend, the
exhausted, aching bodies of
the volunteers, the dancers,
and the vendors were of no
significance; for the hearts of
all powwow participants had
beenfilledto capacity with
beautiful memories, new
understandings, and pride.
These were the gifts that
AISA gave to me. I take
these gifts of knowledge, of
friendship and community,
of strength and pride, and
of laughter with me as
I get ready to leave this
university. I know that my
life is wealthier from the
experiences I have been
honored to share with the
members of AISA, the
members of the powwow
committees, and the
powwow participants. I
have hope that the campus
community, namely students
of both Native and nonnative descent, and the local
Native American community
will work together to
gather on campus again
for the education and the
preservation of the American
Indian experience.
A couple of weeks ago I
read something that said,
"Why do we terrorize
people to show people
that terrorizing people is
wrong?" Think about it.
Here we are as Americans,
being the huge hypocrites
we all are, justifying the
war in Iraq for our security
and for our benefit. How
nonsensical is that? To begin
with, we are going to ask
the age old question: Why
Iraq? Weren't we targeting
Osamafirst?When and
why did our attention shift
to Iraq? What gives us the
right to go and strip another
country of their weapons
if they've never possessed
a threat to us? How would
we feel if another country
came to the U.S. and started
bombing us and saying that
they were getting rid of our
weapons because we used
an ATOMIC BOMB (twice!)
in Japan? How do we justify
killing innocent women and
children just so America
remains omnipotent? How
many lives is the United
States responsible for when
we go to war and when we
use our weapons of mass
destruction? Think about this
thoroughly people... what
is really the reason for this
war? Is it really to secure
ourfreedom,well being and
our homeland security... or
is it just an excuse to have
our current President finish
off something his daddy
couldn't at Desert Storm?
Tell me once when Saddam
came to this country and
started killing us like we are
killing Iraqis. I am not siding
with Saddam here, don't
get me wrong. I am simply
trying to state the truth in
what most of us refuse to
see. If Saddam is really as
horrible as he appears to
be, aren't we Americans
just as bad? Do we not kill
people for power? Do we
not do the unthinkable to
defend what we stand for?
Did we not torture Iraqis just
for our own sick pleasure?
You all know we did. Then
why is it that we bitch and
moan when they decapitate
a soldier when we already
starved, raped, sodomized
and killed many Iraqis?
What is OUR justification?
And if we are justifying the
Iraq invasion by saying that
Saddam was a threat, well
then, isn't Fidel Castro a
threat? Isn't North Korea's
uncontested ruler Kim-Sung
a threat too? And back to
my point... why did we just
let Osama slide by? The
truth is he slid by because
we lost our "main focus"
and targeted Hussein, not
because he is a smart and
clever little man who knows
how to hide well. I mean, if
we found Saddam stashed
in a hole in the middle of
nowhere, why haven't we
found Osama since he is
constantly parading around
sending us videotapes? How
can you all sleep at night
knowing what's going on.
The worse kind of person
is the one who refuses to
see the truth. Well, then I
guess we all must be blind...
It's not a question of "God
Bless America" anymore.
That saying changed a long
time ago to "God Forgive
America."

I have always stood by
Karen Haynes side even
when I did not agree with
the way she handled certain
situations. Even while
Michael Moore ridiculed
Karen Haynes on stage I
remember telling her I still
thought she was a great
President. Face it people can
be faced with hard decisions
and sometimes they chose
the wrong path to take. BUT
I can no longer stand by her
side while she ignores the
racial profiling taken place
on our campus by our own
police! I am saddened by
the fact that a President I
stood by could be so blind
and heartless. What has been
happening on this campus is
wrong and the fact that she
can not see what injustice
practices our HORRIBLE
CAMPUS POLICE officers
are committing makes
me question her ability to
preside over this University.
I hope she makes positive
strides to fixes these
injustices that have occurred.
But then again I might be
asking for to much.

Getting into the s pirit w ith
"A Christmas Story'1 that will warm your
heart
BY MICHAEL DOLAN
Pride Staff Writer
"You'll shoot your eye out.
You'll shoot your eye out."
This caveat echoes through
out the film "A Christmas
Story." The statement is the
recurring logic that places a
seemingly immovable obstacle
in the path of young Ralphie's
quest to obtain a "Genuine Red
Ryder Carbine Action Two
Hundred Shot Lighting Loader
Range Model Air Rifle" for
Christmas.
The story of Ralphie, his
dream of holding that B.B.
gun and factors that influence
his reality (his parents, his
younger brother, his friends,
the neighborhood bullies and
Santa himself) create a connection with the young as well
as the young at heart. Ralphie
reminds us that the desire for
that one g ift can build to such
fervor that the want becomes
the passion.
Ralphie is undeterred from
pursuing this gift although his
parents are unwilling to entertain it. He fails to convince
his teacher in an essay that he
is deserving of the gift. Even
Santa casts a dark cloud over
Ralphie's desire by repeating
the impeding mantra. _
Mixed in with Ralphie's
hopes are the overtones the
BY KATIE POWERS
Pride Staff Writer
"Buddy the
elf, what's your
favorite color?"
" Elf' is the
newest addition
to my holiday
classics
list.
Where else can
you see a f ull
grown, semigood-looking
man wearing
green tights?
The
beginning of " Elf'
has a strangely
familiar claymation feel to
it, but once you
get beyond that
it's definitely
a winner. My
favorite part of " Elf' is also (probably) the stupidest. I love the part
where Buddy goes to work with
his dad. Buddy runs around and
around in the revolving door until
he pukes (how many times have
you so wanted to do that?). And
affect some families during
the holidays: the search for a
Christmas tree, the repercussions of youth profanity and
the struggle to salvage Christmas dinner from jaws of the
neighbor's dogs.
Despite the chaos and opposition, Ralphie's dad comes
through with the gun. And,
true to the warnings, Ralphie
promptly "shoots" his eye out.
The legacy of "A Christmas
Story" is not one of personal
injury. This film represents
how the holidays, although
nostalgic, are often mired with
realities that are not so fond at
the time. From that, we can all
relate.
then there's the part in the office
when Buddy (for no apparent
reason) is sitting in the corner on
top of a stuffed polar bear. Who
comes up with this s tuff? " Elf'

"Christmas
V acation"
a nd the
phrases
that keep
us watching
every year
BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
Instead of reviewing this
awesome film, let's just reminisce the fabulous phrases that
we enjoy every year.
"Merry Christmas! The shitter was full," said Cousin Eddie
while emptying out a septic
tank while wearing a woman's
bathrobe that barely covered
the family jewels and drinking
a beer as well.
"Hallelujah holy shit where's
the Tylenol," yells Clark Griswold after receiving his certificate to the jelly of the month
club.
"Every time Catherine turns
on the microwave, I piss my
pants and forget who I am for
a half an hour," jokes Cousin
Eddie in the living room wearing a white v-neck sweater
with a brown mock turtleneck

Pride Staff Writer
visible underneath.
"Honey, why don't you run
and get the kid's things, and
don't forget the rubber sheets
and the gerbils," said Cousin
Eddie to Catherine after turning up unexpectedly at the
Griswold's.
"It wouldn't be the Christmas season if the stores were
anymore hooter, I mean hotter
than they are...you can't see
the line, can you Russ," said
Clark trying to hit on a young
saleswoman.
And my personal favorite from the yuppie neighbors
next door, "Why is the carpet
wet Todd? I DON'T KNOW
MARGO!"
I
remember
watching
'Scrooged" in the theater with my
Mom and my sister when it first
came out. Ever since, I watch it
every year from Thanksgiving
to New Years at least 10 times.
I can honestly say "Scrooged"
is the best holiday movie ever
made. What makes this movie
a holiday classic is that it takes
a well known Christmas tale
gives it a modern spin and adds
Bill Murray as nasty Mr. Francis
Xavier Cross. Who, by the way,
has no qualms about firing an
employee and cutting the holiday
bonus for his faithful secretary,
all in the name of saving a few
bucks.
My favorite scene is with the
Ghost of Christmas Present who
is dressed like a fairy ballerina
with great big sparkly wings.
She prances around Frank with
her high pitched squeaky voice
and beats the crap out of him.
The
best
thing
about
"Scrooged" is that it teaches us
that the holiday spirit should not
come just once a year. We need
to put a little love in our hearts
throughout the whole year.

John Candy and Steve Martin
are in top form throughout the

at annoying people (the character played by Candy) while
still realizing that these people
have feelings too. I like how

off of his roof. What a great
story idea! For the next 330

Potty humor for the holidays

one reason I get excited is
because Ifinallyget to watch
the shows with bad words and
crude humor that have characters like "Mr. Hanky

opposed to the Yogibear specials I was subjected to as a child. Now, instead of
fighting with my little brother over
who gets to light the menorah candles

South Park, despite their religion.
In Season Four of South Park, the audience
finally gets to meet Mr. Hanky's family; his
wife who always has a martini in her hand,
and his three kids.
A Comedy Central interview with Trey
Parker and Matt Stone said that Parker created Mr. Hanky because of an old story his
mom used to tell him to increase the rate of
the potty training process. She used to try
and scare Parker by saying, "if you don't
flush the toilet Mr. Hanky will come out and
get you!"
If that doesn't put you in the holiday spirit,
I don't know what will.

BY JARED DEVORE
Pride Staff Writer
"Halo" players have been
chomping at the bit for more than
a year to play "Halo 2," and their
chance has finally arrived. When
I discovered my roommate had
plans to go to the Game Stop in
San Marcos at 12:00 a.m. Tuesday morning November 9th to pick
up his reserved copy of "Halo 2,"
I was convinced he was out of his
mind. It turns out, I was wrong.
We arrived to a line that spanned
-the entire length of the shopping
center. It was apparent the expectations for this game were enormous.
In fact, the expectations of
the gaming industry continue to
grow. This forces game creators
to pump out new games that are
incomplete or inadequate renditions of dreams. With the holidays quickly approaching, it is no
surprise that "Halo 2 " was finally
released in an attempt to reap the
benefits of the holiday economic
boom. In the defense of Bungie,
the creators of "Halo 2," the long
awaited release of the game has
paid o ff yielding a t computer

graphics masterpiece. I don't
think many people would have
been satisfied with much less.
You can now customize your
characters appearance, play with
a character from the opposition,
and rampage through enemy
forces in the warthog. Picture
your mom's Hummer with a
powerful cannon mounted on
top that decimates other vehicles
with ease. Another attack vessel
that reappears in "Halo 2 " considerably revamped is the ghost.
A combination motorcycle/hovercraft, the ghost now sports a
tuibd boost function similar .to a
nitrous oxide boost on a car. This
feature can be used effectively in
escaping dangerous life or death
situations.
The levels are more challenging and far greater in size than
the original version. The characters are more intelligent, quicker,
and pack far more heat in "Halo
2." The most important, and
exciting upgrade is the ability to
wield two weapons. Now you can
charge the opponent like Rambo
taking no prisoners.
According
to
IGN.com,
Xbox's gaming website, "every
h it of hype "Halo 2 " receives is
deserved, and once you play it,
you'll be pressed to agree." The
hype is real! "Halo 2 " picks up
right where Halo left off, adding
some interesting plot twists. The
most appealing aspect of the
game is the immense carnage
that you control. I am confident
that there is enough fire power in
"Halo 2 " to blow President Bush
right out of office. This game is
a masterful rendition of the original version. A fter playing almost
non-stop, with the exception of
the classes I was forced to attend
last week, I can honestly say, "you
may be inissing class." In fact, I
plan to call in sick to work this
weekend and continue my journey through the seemingly endless virtual worlds in an attempt
to save the human race. The fate
of mankind is in my hands; I am
sure my place of work will understand this perilous dilemma.

Annual Tukwut
Powwow
cancelled
On Thursday November 4, an open forum
will be held regarding the CSUSM Police
Department's procedures amid recent concerns following the arrest of a student. The
forum will be from 4-6. p.m. in ACD 102.
According to the event's organizer, Professor Sharon Elise, the purpose of the forum
is, "to find out what kind of special training
the campus officers have so that we do not
replicate the problems of racial profiling and
harassment that those in my discipline have
documented among police generally in this
country."
The forum is being held in response to the
October 20 arrest of African-American student Jason Williams on Campus Drive.
According to Assistant Chief of Police
Aaron Woodard, Williams was pulled over
by officers shortly after midnight for failure to stop at a stop sign. As a result of the
traffic stcTp, Williams was arrested on felony
suspicion of violation of penal code 626.10
which prohibits "any dirk, dagger* ice pick,
or knife having afixedblade longer than twoand-one-half inches upon the grounds of, or
within, the California State University."
"I and several of my colleagues are upset
by what we have heard regarding the details
of the officers' conduct and the charges,
based on our own very positive experiences
with the student whose academic career
stands threatened by this incident," said
Elise regarding the arrest.
CSUSM Police Chief Tom Schultheis and
Assistant Chief Woodard were unavailable
for comment by press time.
Citing legal reasons Williams declined
comment at this time.
University President Karen Haynes is
scheduled to attend the forum. Professor
Elise is hopeful that representatives from
the NAACP and ACLU will also appear.
According to Elise, CSUSM Police Chief
Schultheis has been invited to the event but
has yet to confirm.

This year would have marked the 12
annual Tukwut Powwow for many Cal
State San Marcos students.
Reasons for the cancellation of this
year's event include lack of money and
participation.
The time change going into winter
forces the sun to go down aroundfiveor
six o'clock, so generators are almost necessary to have a true powwow. There
wasn't enough money to power generators for this year's powwow.
"The total amount of members has
decreased by an estimated 50percent
over the past couple years," said AISA
faculty advisor E.A Schwartz. Student
participation in the American Indian
Student Alliance (AISA), the organization on campus that sponsors the event,

has also been declining in recent years.
Schwartz says that the students who
are still involved with AISA regret the
Tukwut powwow cancellation this year,
but that it was not a feasible task this
year with the amount of people participating.
A similar type of situation has been
occurring at Palomar College. Recently
they have had to cancel their powwow
due to a lack of student participation.
Cal State San Marcos Faculty mem-
bers David Whitehorse, Bonnie Biggs
and Schwartz were the originators of
this festival in the early 1990's; the first
official powwow was heid in 1992.
The initial name of the gathering was
the American Indian Cultural Fair, which
then became the Tukwut Powwow.

nia and was used by a group
of people who lived here
long before European settlers
arrived.
Initially, the
Tukwut
Powwow was a group of
people
sharing
stories,
thoughts, and ideas. It was
originally called "American
Indian Story-Telling."
The powwows were prepared and presented by the
foculty until 1999. This is
when the students created
the American Indian Student
Alliance. The Native Studies program at CSUSM was
recently developed in 2002.
Biggs said that in the past
these events were willed to
happen, "because of love".
She said it typically took
about four to six months of
preparing and planning to
make past powwows go off
without a hitch.

the American Indian Student
Alliance or the powwow can

it's going to change anyway. Sulpizio said that it is always important to stay honest with oneself
and to make sure one trusts the
company they work for whole
heartedly, or start looking elsewhere for a job.
Sulpizio emphasized that he
"puts on his pants one leg at a
time" just like everyone else. He
said giving back to his community has always been at a priority for him. Sulpizio pointed to
the $1 million donation Qualcomm made six years ago for the
CSUSM library as an example.
The contribution helped speed up
the completion of the library for
students.
Students in the class seemed to
enjoy Sulpizio as a speaker.
"It was cool to see someone so
humble and down to earth in that
kind of position," said business
major Lucas Dalager. Dalager
said he felt that Sulpizio was the
best speaker yet.
Sulpizio started working for
Qualcomm in 1991 and he retired
from his position as CEO in
2001. Since retirement Sulpizio
has served as a board member
for Qualcomm where he recently
hired international presidents of
Qualcomm in China and parts of
Europe.

BY AMIRA EL-KHAOULI

Today as students head to the
polls to decide who will be our
president, leadership ability is one
of the qualities they will be looking for in the candidates. Presidential leadership was the topic
under discussion at the breakfast
seminar titled "Charisma Under
Crisis: Presidential Leadership
Before and After 9/1" that was
held on October 27 at 7:30 a.m. in
the Field House.
Rain could not keep 50 student,

from participating in the fourth

College of Business Administration and the Center for Leadership Innovation and Mentorship

This topic was discussed by the
Executive Director of CLIMB

munity to a leader's charisma analyzing rhetorical leadership style,
media portrayal of the leader, and
a leader's public approval.
Information presented was
based upon student surveys, analysis of presidential speeches, and
analysis of media coverage.
Those in attendance seemed to
enjoy the event.
"I thought both speakers were
charismatic, though Pillai's usage
of comedy made her a little more
charismatic on a student level,"
said CSUSM student and President of the Accounting Society
Daniel Dollar.
The seminar enticed a few
local community members to get
involved since it was advertised
in local newspapers.
"I've always been interested in
the subject of leadership," said
Marine Corps soldier Michael
Taylor. "This is just another
venue I've come to see the matter
discussed. One of the first things
you learn in the service is what it
means to lead. But honestly, leadership is common to other areas.
There are common principles
that can be applied to any situation."
Pillai was pleased to see members of both the university and
community attending the seminar.
"In a nutshell, we are trying
to reach our internal and external community," said Pillai. "We
are trying to accommodate their
needs by getting good speakers
and identifying student leadership. We're trying to offer training leadership programs to local
businesses and we hope to have
mentoring opportunities for students."
CLIMB began offering the
seminars last year.
"What we would like to do is
have one or two a semester," said
Dean of the College of Business
Administration Dennis Guseman.
"They're really targeted for
the local businesses, current students, and the overall community.
We're very excited about CLIMB
as a vehicle to reach out to the
community as well as the university. I expect many great things
to happen under the leadership of
Dr. Pillai," said Guseman
Guseman encourages the
public to contact him with ideas
about topics they would like to
see addressed at upcoming seminars. He is also interested in getting more local businesses connected with the program and the
college. Guseman can be reached

�Study Abroad programs
at CSUSM
BY PATRICIA GUEVARRA
Pride Staff Writer
Only a mere 1 percent of the student population takes advantage of
studying abroad. It is something
that many students do not consider
because it is perceived as expensive
and/or time consuming for those who
are on strict graduation schedules.
Cal State San Marcos sends about
13 - 15 students per year to several
countries such as China, Spain and
United Kingdom.
Despite the costs there are benefits
for students who participate in the
program.
"It sets you apart on your resume,"
said Study Abroad advisor Jan
Stockey during last Wednesday's
Study Abroad informational meeting.
One of the most prominent programs offered on campus is CSU's
International Program which offers
a variety of 100 academic majors
at 70 different universities spread
throughout 18 countries. It is offered
throughout the CSU system to give
students the opportunity to experience learning in a different educational setting as well as learning a
new culture. The program is a year
long program that truly enables students to immerse themselves into a
different culture.
Often students will live on campus
for one semester in order to familiarize themselves with different people
and the different customs; then live
off campus next semester.
"People get nervous, 'Oh, I don't
want to get an apartment,' but it's
really simple," said former Study
Abroad student Lily Chu who studied in China in 2003-2004.
Several other study abroad programs are offered on campus such as
the Exchange Program which allows
students to "trade places" with other
students from host countries such as
France, Japan and the United Kingdom. Students of different countries
are given a chance to switch places
to learn about each other's countries.
They have a choice as to whether or
not they will stay for a semester or
the whole academic year.
Cal State San Marcos also offers
summer study programs, which are
short-term programs of four weeks.
Students are also able to apply to
other study abroad programs offered
at other CSU programs as well as
non-CSU sponsored programs.
However, the program must be preapproved by CSUSM.
Students studying abroad under an
approved program receive full credit
for the work.
The application process for studying abroad is intensely competitive
requiring a panel interview, 2.75
GPA (some may require a 3.0), specific course work, as well as an essay.
Fewer than 1000 students from all 23
CSU campuses apply for these programs each year.
CSUSM study abroad advisors
offer a helping hand to guide students thorough the process. "We
try to prepare you for the interview.
We try to give you information in
advance," said Stockey.
Financial resources are available
for students who are interested in
participating.
Most students who study abroad
really enjoy the experience.
"It's so much fun, I want to go
back," said Chu*

DEBATE, from page 1
President Bush's polices on
Iraq, the economy, and the
environment.
"George Bush is an incompetent president and he needs
to be voted out of office. He's
misled this country into an
illegal war. He's run up the
largest deficit in the history
of the world. He's got us on
an ecological policy that has
us on the road to disaster," he
said.
Bunch urged the audience
to vote for Kerry by touting
the senator's education and
record of public service.
"John Kerry is a career
public servant. John Kerry
is a deep thinker. He's openminded. A vote for John
Kerry is a vote for the future,"
said Bunch
Director of the Republican Jewish Coalition, Larry
Greenfield, argued for the reelection of President George
Bush.
"The Bush doctrine said
'You're with us or against us
in the war on terror.' Clinton
knew we were going to need
regime change in Iraq. You
can't keep kicking the can
down the street forever," said
Greenfield about President
Bush's foreign policy.
He disputed assertions
made by Bunch about the war
College Democrats, College Republicans and PAN urge students to vote
Three clubs, one election.
No matter how much the views
of the CSUSM political clubs
differ, they all are promoting
voter awareness and participation
in this year's election. The three
political clubs on campus are the
College Republicans, the College
Democrats and the Progressive
Activist Network (PAN).
Each club has done their part
to increase the number of voters
from the 18-26 age group by handling out flyers and setting up
tables where students can register to vote. "
"No matter what side you're
voting for, my hope is that people
our age will stop being apathetic.
Because I think we're underrepresented and it's statistically
shown," said Progressive Activist Network President Julie Bennington.
Executive Director of the
CSUSM College Republicans
Nick Bonomi is optimistic about
the results of recent efforts to
increase voter turnout.
"I definitely believe we (young
voters) will be voting more in this
election and it's mainly from Sept
11. If I had to guess, it's possible
a 20 percent increase just from
our generation," said Bonomi.
The clubs have also promoted
their political views about current
issues to inform student voters.
PAN and the College Republicans have been the most active
clubs this year, sponsoring two
debates on campus as well as the
showing of politicalfilms.
The College Democrats club
is rather new on campus and
is growing with the increasing
number of student Democrats on
campus.
"I was approached by a few
people this semester willing to
actively participate in the club and
really wanting to get out the main
message to the students of the
Democratic Party. We've taken
a very public role this semester within the campus because
of the need to really inform and
educate the campus community
of the election and what could
happen with the outcome of this
election," said President of the
CSUSM College Democrats
Dustin Lacasse
in Iraq.
"You're wrong, my friend,
about weapons of mass
destruction in Iraq.
We
found sarin and anthrax, and
we found the missiles which
could deliver it," said Greenfield.
Greenfield also levied criticisms of Senator Kerry's
activism during the Vietnam
War as well as of his Iraq
policy.
"While our troops were
being tortured, he (Kerry) met
with the enemy not once but
twice in Paris. Then he came
and testified on thefloorof the
US Senate and said that we
were the army of the Genghis
Khan," said Greenfield. "He
now says he'll lead us to victory in a war he doesn't even
believe in. I don't trust Senator Kerry."
At 11:15 a.m. when the
debate began, there were
approximately 50 people who
Students observe the debate.
Clubs promote voter awareness

When asked which presidential
candidate each club was supporting, responses primarily went
along party lines.
"Our club (College Democrats)
supports Senator John Kerry
because he supports more equality within the states and has more
distinctive plans on the outcome
of Iraq," said Lacasse
Most members of PAN also
support Kerry in the election.
"Our club doesn't really support any candidate. We're comprised of a lot of different views.
PAN doesn't endorse any political party/But in this year's election, the majority of our members
support Senator John Kerry," said
Bennington.
The College Republicans are
advocating the re-election of
President Bush.
"Our club obviously supports President George W. Bush
because of his tax policy which
would help the lower, middle and
upper class people, he's rock hard
as in he does what he says and
he's a very compassionate person
because he's a pro-life candidate," said Bonomi.
showed up to watch. By the
time the event ended around 1
p.m. the crowd had grown as
many on campus stopped to
watch the debate as they were
walking by.
The debate showed not only
how divided Greenfield and
Bunch were on the issue, but
also how divided the audience
was. Some audience members clapped enthusiastically
for Greenfield, while others
rallied for Bunch. A few in
the audience had a hard time
containing their response to
speakers' statements.
As Larry Greenfield was
speaking a person from the
crowd yelled, "You trust
Bush? You're nuts."
The heckler later identified
himself as Mark Evereklian,
an alumnus of Cal State San
Marcos.
"Some say it is wrong to
interrupt a speaker while he
is speaking, but I disagree. I
feel it is wrong to sit idly by
and listen to what both the
speaker and myself know are
lies. Anyone who dares stand
at a podium should have a
story that at least comes
close enough to the truth that
the audience will be able to
stomach his rhetoric without
having uncontrollable outbreak of unwanted rage," said
Evereklian

"Make sure you pop that shoulder!" guest
choreographer Mark Montanillo shouted.
For the love of dance and hip-hop, Jam
Control offers a student club experience and
as free dance lessons with a taste of soul
all at the same time. Dance routines range
from jazz to hip hop depending on the choreographers' styles. Thus far, the group has
learned one routine per week, six routines
since the beginning of this semester.
The group was originally started by a
couple of students looking for an outlet on
campus. With their shared love for dancing,
the group originally went by the acronym
J.A.M. C.O.N.T.R.O.L (Justifying Artistic Movement Collaboration of New Talent

the talent that existed on campus. Yet, like

dance just wasn't there.
Luckily, the group was revived by RJ
Omabtang, Phil Hunyh and Edgar (Doodz)
Agapay who have taken the group to higher
heights with their continuous support and
enthusiasm. For some apparent reason,
regardless of how exhausted they are, the
dancers and choreographers still are able to
cheer when they learn new routines. It's just
amazing to see at least 25 individuals share
such passion and desire to learn fresh steps.
Yet, the routines can be a little intimidating, especially if you've never been in a
dance troupe or your high school airband.
"You can be a person who can't dance or
you can be a pro, everyone gets love here,"
Agapay said. Regardless, the atmosphere is
still welcoming.
The sessions are always open for instruction and questions. The choreographers are
willing to go over the routine to make sure
each person is caught up. Eventually, the
group hopes to kick it up a notch and perform or join dance competitions.
Once again for the love of dancing and
hip-hop, dancers from every step whether
a beginner or pro, practice together every

Earth, Wind and Wildfire exhibit
San D iego N atural H istory M useum educates a f ire-dependent e nvironment
BY JARED DEVORE
Pride Staff Writer
Sixteen lives lost, 385,000
acres burned and 2,454 homes
destroyed. These are just a few
facts to describe the devastation
of the fires that took place last
year, October 25-31,2003.
The San Diego Natyral History Museum has put together
an outstanding exhibit called
"Earth, Wind & Wildfire." The
exhibit utilizes objects, videos,
photographs and interactive displays with the intent of educating people about the responsibility of living in a fire-dependent place. The importance of
fire knowledge and fire safety
was escalated last year.
The curator of the exhibit, Dr.
Anne Fege, has done a wonderful job creating an exhibit that
is effective for all ages. There
are interactive exhibits where
children can put on costumes of
native animals, a mural of the
fire cycle, and an exhibit that
adults and children alike can
learn how to build a fire-wise
home and even rate their own
homes for fire safety based on
the materials used in construction.

the walls of the exhibit. It is
reported that more than 2200
plant species and 490 bird species have been recorded in these
diverse natural habitats affected
by the fires. The exhibit gives
us the opportunity to learn more
about these affected species and
knowledge about living in coexistence with nature where wildfires are a threat.
Moving images display the
sheer power and destruction of
these fires. Images of communities burnt to the ground, breathtaking images from high above
the burn areas and even original melted glass out of people's
homes made into sculptures in
remembrance of this event are a
few things that you can expect to
see at the exhibit.
A main feature of the exhibit
contains an enormous projection
screen that puts the power of
the fires into perspective. The
quickness with which the wildfires spread last year is testament
to the importance of this exhibit.
Many students at CSUSM were
directly affected by the fires and
some indirectly affected by the
fires with the cancellation of
classes and the terrible smoke
that permeated the sky.
There is really something for
everyone at the "Earth, Wind &
Wildfire" exhibit which opened
on the anniversary of Firestorm
2003, October 26,2004 and will
run through October 2005.
Three CSUSM students have
taken the initiative to make a difference within our campus community. Julie Bennington, Sarah
Leonard and Mark Weber are
putting together a peace picnic
for students, staff, faculty, and
the community.
"The peace picnic is an effort
to increase peace and equality in
our diversity," said Sarah Leonard. "With all the built up controversy our campus has undertaken, bringing back a sense of

Leonard
serenity is just what we need. We
want to promote peace and raise
issues of equality, health care,
gay marriages and genocides to
inform and engage everyone's
opinions."
The peace picnic will feature
speakers from different clubs
here on campus. Each club will
be speaking about current topics
that are affecting our community.
Because people interpret peace
differently, getting a glimpse of
what others see will broaden our
horizons.
"The goal is promote peace,
and to understand the different
interpretations of peace for different cultures," Leonard said.
The
International
Club,
Black Student Union, Progressive Activist Network, College
of Democrats and Republicans,
Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender and Women's Studies Student Association are a few clubs
and organizations that will be
speaking about different aspects
of diversity, equality and peace.
"We really want to break
the barrier of being commuter
school. We really want to reach
out to the campus community,"
Bennington said.
The peace picnic was originally
scheduled on October 27 but due
to rain it will now take place on
November 10 in front of the Kellogg library grass field. Free food
will also be offered during this
picnic. This event is open to all
students, staff, faculty and the
rest of the community.

of meeting him, his classes are very interesting.
Schneider was born in Argentina, while
his parents were on a missionary expedition. He spent his childhood in Billings,
Montana. He lived in Montana until he
attended Colorado State University to get
his bachelor's degree and then master's
degree in Sociology.
After receiving his master's, Schneider
made the journey to southern California
to go after his Ph.D. at the University of
Southern California.
It wasn't always sociology in Schneider's
educational path. He actually started as a
pre-veterinarian student. He took an Introduction to Sociology class as an elective
and knew right then that this was the field
he wanted to study. He changed majors
the next semester, even though this meant
going against his family's wishes.
Schneider has been teaching college
students since 1980. While getting his
master's at Colorado State, hefinancedhis
studies by becoming a teacher's assistant.
This is what sparked his passion for teaching. When he made the move to USC, he
taught courses like Introduction to Sociology and Sociology of Sport as a medical
student.
After receiving his doctorate in sociology he began to teach at CSU Los Angeles.
It was in 1993 that Schneider first became
aware of CSU San Marcos.
-
After leaving USC, he remained in contact with the head chair of the sociology
department. She told him that a newer
campus was underway in a small community in San Diego. Schneider called Teresa
Baker, a former chair of the San Marcos
sociology department, to schedule an
interview. The rest is history.
Since his first day on the job, Schneider
has remained in love with this campus. He
has always believed in the CSUSM sociology department while sharing the same
vision as the three chairs that he has worked
with in his eleven years of service.
The quality of students on campus has
always impressed him because of intellect
here on campus. He has taught at different UC's and CSU's, but believes that the
intelligence on campus is as strong as any
place he has seen.
He loves teaching all of the sociology
classes because they all satisfy a different
niche. However, he feels that Sociology
of Sport, Sociology of Violence and Death
and Dying are unique to him.
Besides Sociology, Schneider has other
interests. He is extremely zealous when
it comes to his Denver Broncos. He and
his wife are very much into equestrian
activities. Schneider likes jumping horses,
which is called the Hunter-Jumper discipline.
Upon his unplanned retirement, he
hopes that he and his wife can spend even
more time on equestrian. Being married to
a vet, it is also no surprise that he has four
horses, three dogs, two cats, one guinea
pig and an assortment of fish. Another
hobby that he really enjoys is cooking.
What makes Schneider so likeable?
Professor Schneider adds humor to his lecture.
It's the fact that Schneider narrows the
gap between professor-student relationships. How many teachers do you know
who offer their home telephone number in
case of school emergencies or just to talk
about sports? Something he is very proud
of is his continuing relationships with San
Marcos students after they graduate. He

The CSUSM's Cougar Athletic Program competes in the
National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).
The NAIA provides athletic programs for 57,000 studentathletes that represent 333 institutions. Cougar participation
marks a national arena for CSUSM athletes. CSUSM anticipates fielding competitive athletic teams for years to come.
The athletics program at CSUSM has various club teams,
but currently CSUSM offers three intercollegiate sports
with both men's and women's teams: golf in the fall and
spring, cross country in the fall and track and field in the
spring.
Student-athletes will compete in golf and track and field,
traveling to competitions throughout the region and hoping
to repeat and improve upon national successes from last
year.
Last year, the men's golf team received fifth place nationally and the women's team received tenth place nationally.
Track andfieldis doing just as well with many athletes being
named Ail-American at NAIA nationals.
CSUSM offer scholarships for these intercollegiate athletes and hopes by expanding the athletic program, more
scholarships will be offered attracting student's athletics to
CSUSM.
At this time, a decision has not been made on which sport
will be added next to CSUSM's intercollegiate athletics program (NAIA), but several are being considered. However,
the expansion of sports programs revolves around many key
factors including sustainable funding and availability of onsite facilities.
The athletics program is committed to offering lifetime
sports to students and offers club team sports for equal participation. The following club sports are being offered from
expansion: soccer, swimming, tennis and volleyball.
The NAIA league selects schools with high commitment
to academics as well as competitive athletics.

�I voted for George W. Bush
BY SCOTT PHILLIPS
Pride Staff Writer
BY HEATHER HOFFMAN
Pride Staff Writer
can't even
imagine what our world
would be like if Bush is
re-elected and nothing
changes.
We have made a mess
in Iraq. I don't expect
things to get better immediately but I feel that Kerry
will begin to clean things
up. Kerry will start fighting the war on terror as it
was intended to be fought;
against terrorists, not oilrich countries. He has
promised to change the
way the rest of the world
views America and rebuild
relationships with allies
that Bush has destroyed.
We are living in an
industrialized country that
doesn't even provide basic
health care for its citizens. I believe health care
is a right every American
is entitled to and that it is
possible to keep quality
health care and still make
it accessible. Kerry has
a way to cut the costs of
premiums and prescription drugs and developed a
healthcare plan that will be
available to everyone.
As a woman, I feel choosing Kerry was important,
because he supports women's issues as well as the
right to choose. Although
I may never choose to
exercise most of my rights,
I don't think it is the government's responsibility
to take them away from
me. Kerry also believes in
protecting woman's health
rights and closing the pay
gap.
It's been forty years since
the civil rights movement
and I think the current
administration is working hard to undo many of
the things the movement
accomplished. For example, Bush ended affirmative action which not only
benefited minorities, but
also women. Kerry understands the benefits of affirmative action and will
most likely reinstate it so
that everybody is given a
fair chance.
Bush is also trying to
instate a constitutional
amendment that will prohibit gay couples from
having any rights. We
cannot allow an amendment to be added that
would promote discrimination and intolerance. Kerry
supports domestic partnership which would allow
gay couples, rights similar
to that of a married couple.
The Social Security
system is in trouble, and
although Bush has a plan
fix it, Kerry wants to
change the system and
develop something that
will actually exist when I
need it. I feel that Kerry
is aware of the problem
and will insure that I will
benefit from a system I've
been paying into my whole
working life.
Kerry also has a unique
approach to the 'war on
drugs' that will change
the way non-violent drug
offenders are punished.
The current punishment is
jail, but Kerry believes that
prevention and treatment
are a much more effective
way to stop drug use. By
treating drug offenders
first, prisons will be less
crowded and there will be
a decrease in the number of
repeat offenders.
I believe that voting
makes a difference, which
is why I voted for Kerry
because I believe he will
change things.
for the foreseeable future.
I believe that Bush and his
cabinet have much more
experience in dealing with
the Middle East, and have
a much better chance of

Republican or Democrat, nobody could have
predicted the September 11 tragedy that killed
thousands of people and
crashed our economy. It's
been a long and tedious job
to improve our economy,
and if you look at the numbers, we are improving.
In the past year, our gross
domestic product (GDP)
has grown almost 5 percent. In just over a year,
1.5 million jobs have been
created, and the national
unemployment rate is at
5.4 percent which is below
the average of the 1970s,
1980s and 1990s.
When it comes to Vice
President Cheney, I feel he
is very intelligent and has
more experience in business and foreign affairs
than Kerry or Edwards.
The Bush cabinet as a
whole, in my opinion is
strong and I feel they will
provide excellent counsel
to Bush in this very stressful and dangerous time in
our history. In particular,
I feel Bush and his cabinet
are more capable of protecting America's homeland, and have more potential to resolve the problems
in Afghanistan and Iraq.
In writing this, I know
that the majority of students on campus are probably for Kerry. I think
that's fine as long as you
vote. What I don't like is
when people regurgitate
Michael Moore or Fahrenheit 9/11 and can't come up
with other reasons to vote
for Kerry.
The year 2004 has definitely been the year of
bashing Bush, and bash
away, as long as you have
solid reasoning as to why
Kerry would be better.

Don't you hate pet peeves?
BYMICHELLE ROBINSON
For The Pride
Last week it rained so hard
that I couldn't even form an
opinion. With what sensational
media may dub as "Rainstorm
2004" underway, I was stuck in
my room. Soon, I was stuck in
my head. I was cleaning out the
old memories, cobwebs of ideas
that I started and gave up on, dissecting old boyfriends, and soon
enough, I stumbled onto the pile
of pet peeves that I swore I would
never drudge up again.
As far as the rain goes, I've no
complaints, except that people
tend to "wear" the weather. It's
raining, yes, so I suppose the
scowl is all apart of the galoshes
and scarf ensemble, no? Whatever happened to splashing
and enjoying what is a southern Californian rarity? One
rainy morning, I decided that I
had to go somewhere, regardless of the weather and I came
across another pet peeve I have:
people who lose their keys. My
friend, a CSUSM graduate who
is, in many respects brilliant and
responsible, loses her keys as if
every time she does, Brad Pitt
kisses her and an angel gets their
wings. It happens so much that I
do believe I black out a little bit.
I feel as if I'm Richard Gere in
the movie Unfaithful. I say nothing the first time I hear the faint
whinny of "Where are my keys?"
as she sifts through her purse,
shaking it, moving change from
one side to the other. I mumble
the words, "I'm not feeling well."
I just hope that there are no snow
globes around because. I dislike
people losing their keys every
time just that much. Once she
finds her keys, we are off. Off to

Coincidentally, the same week
that produced this gala-of-thedull was just after the headsin-charge (the illustrious Editors-in-chief) demanded that all
articles had to be in by Thursday afternoon. Keep in mind;
the writer's get their assignments on Tuesday night. That
gives a writer a whole Wednesday to get the stories, Now, the
Editors would likely tell ya that
this is a weekly publication and
so the news can't be all that current On top of that, the writers are assigned stories for the
most part, and this is not a paper
where journalists' find the
news; they're told to pick from
amongst the list (that the editors
provide mind you) and write on
the subject Or, maybe they'd
just say that this school is really
that friggin' dull.
But, I'm not buying the hypothetical arguments that I put in
their mouths^ As I see it, this
paper suffers from a lack of
trust. Our two Editors-in-chief

So thank you, f or participating our

Why oh why do our writers

That's counting lA of Thursday,

�long enough begin to be
accepted as truth. Case in
point - the manipulation of
public opinion by Fox News.
If these lies were spread
by the CRs and they go
unpunished, what is to stop
them from lying again? And
what's more loving, the parent
who never punishes a child's
transgressions, or the parent
who disciplines a child to
teach them that intentionally
lying for political gain is
not within the parameters of
acceptable social conduct?
Whether or not the
CRs spread these lies, the
important thing to remember
on Election Day is that
these lies were spread by
Republicans. Think about
this! All we've been hearing
from Republicans this year is
that Kerry is a liar who will
say anything to get elected.
Apparently two can play
that game. This begs the
question, "Who's telling the
truth?" Obviously not Bush
propagandists at CSUSM.
Here's another thing to
chew on. Who owns the
organizations feeding you,
"objective news?" Liberals?
I wish. No, very rich, very
white, very conservative
men (www.fair.org). What's
their agenda? To perpetually
increase profits. How? By
sticking to just the facts
and talking about policy
specifics? No. By employing
hyperbolist spin doctors
who tell you what to think
in between commercials
by reiterating trivialities
like how likeable Bush is
ad infinitum until everyone
stops thinking about real
news like the growing deficit,
environmental destruction or
how corporations are dictating
government policy to their
benefit and the average
citizen's detriment.
If you want to live your life
as a dupe keep believing the
talking heads. If you believe
truth matters - think for
yourself.
And when you vote,
remember one other important
piece of news. Bush lied
- and people died (and are
still dying)!
Erik Roper (eroper@owl.

Alumni, Class of 2004
Dear Pride, Students, and
Faculty,
In the last few weeks we have
had a problem with what I
call the vandalization of our
school by the right. Bush
supporters and anti-student
organization activists have
been plastering and chalking
up the school with bogus
messages in a desperate
attempt to win your vote. By
the time most of you will be
reading this however, most of
you will have voted.
This action taken by the
Republicans to spread their
message is weak, immature,
destructive and out right
nasty. I respect people's right
to their freedom of speech,
especially when questioning
school policy, but tagging
the school is unacceptable.
When PAN, WSSA, College
Democrats, faculty and
students had a problem with
the Michael Moore issue we
didn't vandalize the school.
We spoke out using the
only platform of free speech
we had left in this school.
(Free Speech Area) I see a
deep political slant in this
school when action like these
remains unpunished and there
is little effort to clean up the
mess. I thank Mother Nature
for the help in cleaning this
mess made by the "W street
team." Unfortunately we the
people are always forced to
clean up the mess the right
makes, whether its foreign
policy, the economy, values,
almost anything. We as
mature adults must speck out
against these types of actions.
The action taken by these the
"W-street team" is illegal.
There are certain ways and
means to get permission
to chalk or put up flyers.
All one has to do is go to
Student and Residential
Life (SRL) and fill out some
paper work. It's one thing
that this action is vandalizing
the school; however the
serious violation is that this
action is illegal. If we don't
catch these vandals what's
to say they wouldn't tag the
school like gangs. As mature
adults we are better than
that, and I hope the College
Republicans denounce this
behavior. If they know who
did this, I plead that they
please give the information to
the proper authorities. I call
on all students,' faculty, and
administration to condemn
this action. Some student
Republicans have gone on
record calling actions like
these satire, jokes, or politics.
"Get over it!" Say what you
want, this is vandalism and it
cost the school money. Money
that can be used to help
you the students get better
classes and achieve a higher
learning. I will not stand
by while other groups get
punished similar behavior that
is minimal compared to last
Mondays attack. What ever
you, as readers' think of my
option, don't forget to Vote
November 2nd if you haven't
already.

I just wanted to comment
and respond to the "Vote
Bush" graffiti that was all
over the school this past
week. I personally can not
stand President Bush and to
be truthful I actually look
down on the people who
want to vote for this moron
but I want to commend
these people, whoever they
maybe, for taking the actions
that they did. I know the
school must investigate and
prosecute to set an example
for futures occurrences like
this but I do not agree. Did the
people really graffiti anything
permanent? It looks like this
week's rain might be enough
to clean it up. Is it wrong to
have a real passionate protest
at campus? We know the
school won't allow anything
real or inspired. They put a
square around an area and
say you can do this there and
do that thing here and if you
do it this way we can't allow
it and on and on. It made me
happy to see this protest.. .this
flamboyant attack on the
democrats of our school.
At least there was some
fire in the hearts of some of
the students that attend this
school. We are the living
dead around here. There is no
real excitement anywhere at
anytime. I know, I know, what
is there really to be excited
about on a campus where
the buildings are as colorful
as milk, the people leave as
soon as class is done, and the
most exciting thing we have
is a stupid clock that has the
wrong Roman numeral on
it? Well I like to blame the
school for making sure that
everything is safe and boring.
Everything is not meant to
be ok and I think everyone
should start to realize that.
People are different and have
different views so let them
express them. We should
have stuff like this week's
graffiti and school pranks.
We need life to breathe into
this campus of ours. I want
to give congratulations to the
people who wrote the Bush
statements and I hope you get
away with it (but I hope he
still loses). Finally I want to
urge students to take a stand
against the bland and act out
sometimes.
Sincerely,

College Republicans (headed
by Nicholas "W" Bonomi)
organized the rally. That is
calm compared to what just
happened a day before the
debate between Commander
Gerald Bunch (of Veterans for
Peace) and Larry Greenfield
(of the Republican Jewish
Coalition) started. When I
walked around campus on
Tuesday morning, I saw proBush chalk graffiti etched
around Chavez Plaza. I was
told that there were pro-Bush
signs littered around campus,
some on the LGBT poster
by Founders Plaza. It was
offensive to PAN, the College
Democrats, M.E.Ch.A. (they
will go ballistic when they
see what happened to Chavez
Plaza) and the LGBT club.
When PAN did the anti-police
brutality protest with chalk
drawings, they were erased
in thirty minutes. Nobody did
anything about the pro-Bush
graffiti. Also, the pro-Bush
graffiti was scattered around
campus, having invalid
statements like "ASI for
Bush". As a man of respect,
I cannot point the finger on
the College Republicans.
It could probably be some
pro-Bush splinter group that
has more zeal than the CR.
Who knows? We'll see what
Bonomi has to say about this.

Grand Tlieft Auto: San Andreas
O F EVENTS

BY JAMARR PATRICK
Pride Staff Writer
"...Sex, murder, and mayhem, romance
for the street. Man, I tell ya it would be the
best seller" -Jay Z
That quote sums up the experience of
"Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" perfectly. The latest installment of the Grand
Theft Auto franchise has hit shelves all
across America and has given people, like
yours truly, another excuse not to go to class
for a few days. Anticipation was at an all
time high in the months prior to its release,
heck I even had to go to a couple of different stores just to get a copy (thank the lord
for Target!).
Normally within the video gaming subculture, when a game is highly publicized and
anticipated, it usually tends to suck. The
good people at Rockstar Games and Rockstar North have created what could possibly
be one of the greatest games ever.
"San Andreas" is roughly five times the
size of the last game, "Vice City", and has
three cities to roam instead of just one.
There is the San Francisco based city of San
Fierro, Las Venturas is a clone of Las Vegas,
and Los Santos is modeled after the city of
Los Angeles.
The game is set in the early 1990s in
the California based state of San Andreas.
You play the game as Carl "CJ" Johnson, a
former gang member that headed to the East
Coast five years prior to escape death and
gang life in San Andreas. You are forced to
return to your home city of Los Santos when
you receive word that your mother has been
killed. From that point, mayhem is only a
press of a button away from your fingertips.
Your first order of business is not to bury
and grieve for your mother (what kind of
game experience would that be?), but instead
to meet up with your brothers and re-establish The Grove Street Families as the premier gang in Los Santos.
You would think that all that is required of
you is to shoot this or steal that, oh no grass
hopper, there are more wrinkles in this game
than an 87 year- old man. For the first time
in the GTA franchise, your main character is
almost human. In the game you will need to
eat to survive. Big deal you say? Well if you
decide to chow down on burgers all the time
then Carl will get fat, and I mean noticeably
fat with a bloated face and body. So how do
you remedy that? Just like in real life: you
head on down to the gym and work it on out.
Not just one workout in the gym is going cut
it either. Depending on how big you are, it
could take you three of four visits to the gym
before you turn into a thug complete with
prison muscles.
Another twist put in the game is the addition of purchasing full wardrobes and hairstyles. Buying different clothes, getting
different hairstyles, and working out, all
contribute to your Stamina, Power, and Sex
Appeal bars.
The game is so packed with objectives
that I can't possibly name them all, so you
will just have go get a copy (if you can find
one) and experience all the things that your
parents told you not to do.

Students chose to discuss campus policing at an open forum with President Haynes
on Monday, November 29. The open forum,
attended by 27 people, was thefirstof three
open forums that will be hosted by Associated Students, Inc. (ASI).
ASI President, Manal Yamout, asked
Haynes for an update on the situation.
Haynes stated that the university is working to put an ad hoc task force in place to
review campus policing practices, and has
hired an external investigator to investigate
the formal complaint filed by Williams
against campus police.

Different opportunities around campus to donate this holiday season
BY TIFFANY LIU
Pride Staff Writer
Despite the stress the holiday season can
bring, for many this time of year is also a
time of giving and sharing.
Several CSUSM organizations are reaching out this season to help those in need.
Currently, CSUSM's College Republicans are conducting Operation Donation.
Operation Donation is a holiday drive
to support wounded soldiers from Camp
Pendleton who are arriving at military hospitals.
The goal of the drive is helping soldiers
through recovery and giving back to the
men and women who have risked their
lives for our country.
Donation items can be dropped off at
Craven 4116 until December 23.
Suggested donation items are: nonperishable foods, DVD's, batteries, phone cards,
books, magazines, Game Boys, Domino's
Pizza gift certificates, towels, wash cloths
and any hygiene supplies.
CSUSM Academic technology services
is currently holding the annual Bree Tinney
auction in order to raise money for the
Bree Tinney memorial scholarship. Items
donated are auctioned off to raise money.
The money goes to fund scholarships that
are not endowed with enough funds. The
auction runs until 12 p.m. on December 9

The facts
about
arrests on
campus
BY WILL LEMON
Pride Staff Writer
During the latest wave of protests
on campus, demonstrators continued to claim racial profiling in the
CSUSM police department, often
citing arrest information printed
in the San Diego Union-Tribune in
comparison with CSUSM enrollment data available on the schools
website.
Using data provided by the campus
police department and campus registration information, the Pride has the
figures for your comparison.
The arrest data cited in the Tribune said that "out of 174 arrests
on campus since 2000, more than
half arrested were white, 35 percent
Hispanic and 5.7 percent AfricanAmerican."
This information mirrors the summary percentages provided by the
campus police.
Further examination of the police
data shows a sharp rise in arrests in
the 2003-2004 year.
Between 2000-2003, the CSUSM
police department made a total of 59
arrests.
From Nov. 2003 to Nov.2004 the
CSUSM police department made 115
arrests, nearly twice the amount of
arrests made in the previous three
years.
"The number of arrests has significantly risen since the opening of the
Resident hall on campus," remarked
CSUSM Police Lt. Doug Miller at
the data.
Data from November 4 2003November 4 2004 shows that whites
comprised approximately 52.5 % of
the student population and 51.3 % of
the arrests.

can groups showed a wider disparity between
the percentages.
During the same time period Hispanics
comprised approximately 19.2% of the student population and 34.8 % of arrests.
African-Americans comprised 2.8% of
those enrolled and 7.8% of the arrests on
campus.
"We come in contact not just with students
but also with members of thé local community," said Lt. Miller in response to questions
about the racial/ethnic makeup of arrests by
the CSUSM police department.
Miller said that the racial/ethnic make-up
of campus police arrests were fairly close to
the racial/ethnic make-up of the community.
Registration statistics about race/ethnicity are derived from information gained
at the time of enrollment, where a student
self selects their racial/ethnic background.
According to Miller arrest racial/ethnic information is obtained by officers selecting a category after asking the suspect their racial/
ethnic background.
Note: Police data categories were White,
Hispanic, Black, Asian, Asian- Indian, and
Hawaiian.

Haynes also stated that if the
external investigator were to
uncover a problem with a particular officer or officers practicing
racial profiling on campus, "An
officer could be let go."
Other students expressed concern that students might be hesitant to file a formal complaint
against the police, since the
form has to be obtained from
and submitted to the police.
Leonard characterized the process as "unsafe" and "intimidating." Haynes, "thought the form
was available on the web," and

For comparison purposes police data categories of Asian-Indian and Hawaiian were

When asked by student Steven
Zamora if she felt that "aggressive policing" was better than
community based policing for
our campus, Haynes wasn't
willing to sanction the use of the
term "aggressive" in relation to
campus policing methods.
"I'm not willing to say that all

Who cares about AIDS at CSUSM
BY PHOENIX LINDGREN
Pride Staff Writer
Someone on campus is HIV
positive.
They could be white.
Or black.
Or brown.
Male or female.
Blond or brunette.
Student, faculty, or staff.
Seventeen or twenty-eight or
fifty-two.
They might know they're
infected.
They might not.
It could be the person sitting
next to you, or the one sipping a
latté at Kellogg Café right now.
You would never know by looking at them that they carry the
human immunodeficiency virus,
or HIV, a virus that ravages the
host's immune system. When
the immune system can't fight
off even the lowliest of infections anymore—bugs that live
all around us all the time that a
healthy immune systemfightsoff
easily—the disease is reclassified
by the acronym AIDS (Acquired
Immune Deficiency Syndrome).
HIV is transmissible via
straight sex, anal sex, oral sex,
needle sharing and blood transfusion.
Wednesday December 1 is
World AIDS Day. It will receive
a short mention in the local paper
and on the evening news, but this
article and an HIV/AIDS information booth planned by Student Health Services on Kellogg
Plaza from 10:30 to 2:30p.m. will
be the only acknowledgement on
the CSUSM campus of the global
pandemic that is infecting six
new people in San Diego County
every day.

But AIDS is alive and well

the county since 2002. In the

THE PRIDE
Jock Talk With Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
If you think your
family is dysfunctional
then you need to read
Phil Jackson's latest
book titled "The Last
Season: A Team in
Search of its Soul".
The book was released
in September but I have
anticipated reading this
collection of memoirs since the Lakers lost
to the Pistons in the NBA Finals in June.
The book is Phil Jackson's journal that
he kept over a year's time. It starts with his
first entry coming on July 11,2003 as he is
heading to his home in Montana. He talks
about the annual spiritual journey that he
Wfcat
is about to embark on in order to get away
from the hectic NBA life that he leads.
In this first entry he writes about his
excitement when he receives word that the
Lakers are about to sign Gary Payton and
Karl Malone. Not much longer into this
entry he writes about a conversation with
Mitch Kupchak, the Lakers General Manager, regarding the news of Kobe Bryant
and the accusations that Kobe raped a
young woman. With that first entry you
see that there is going to be a roller coaster
of emotions throughout the book.
With so many different events that
occurred during his tenure as coach of the
Lakers, Phil had plenty to write about in
his journal and he certainly wasn't worried about offending people.
The book is organized into twelve chap-

help
ters with each one containing different
insights into what really happened behind
the scenes of the Lakers dynasty. One of
the major topics in the book is the personality conflict and fight for power between
Kobe and Shaq in which Phil reveals just
how childish their squabbles were.
Another topic that comes up quite often
is his analysis of his relationship with
Kobe Bryant and the tension that resides
with the two of them.
Phil also discusses many controversial
topics that involve the NBA and where
he thinks the state of the game is going.
However, throughout the whole book he
primarily tries to focus on what happened
during last season.
Phil constantly discusses the slow
implosion of his team as they gradually
fall apart whether it be by injury, lack of
effort, or out of spite for one another.
He continually writes about the different methods he attempts in order to get
his team to play together. He tries reverse
psychology telling his team they can't do
something, automatically making them
want to prove him wrong; he tries guilt
by making them feel like he is let down
by their performance; he tries meditation
making them focus on being a team rather
than a bunch of individuals.
However, with all of his work trying to
get them to act like a team I found it funny
that when Phil refers to the his team he
doesn't use unifying words such as "Us"
or "We", he always refers to them as "The
Lakers", creating a separation from them
which in my mind doesn't say much about
him trying to create a team atmosphere.
In chapters eight through eleven Phil
writes in his journal during the playoffs.
When reading these chapters I couldn't
Photo courtesy of The Penguin Press
help but think to myself, why is he writing
in his journal during this time when every
second of his time should be devoted to
practicing, studying, preparing or something to help his team advance in the playoffs. Then as I continued to read on he
quickly answered my question as he soon
details that practice won't help his team
due to their own individualistic attitudes.
Not even Phil Jackson was able to find
an answer for the Lakers which definitely
tells you something when you consider he
is one of the greatest coaches to ever walk
court side.
I recommend this book to you as it is one
of the best sports books I have read and it
will certainly give you a greater admiration for your family or coworkers.
If you have any topics for discussion or
any comments for me then send an E-mail

Extreme
Karaoke
BY MICHELLE ROBINSON
For The Pride
I have a need to be in
the limelight no matter
how busted the lens.
Dreams of being
a
Polynesian/Jewish
Whitney Houston have
eluded me, leaving me
in the outskirts of my
hometown of Oceanside, singing in filthy bars to a group of
howling friends, egging me on to do The
Robot. Karaoke is this sick fetish for those
inclined to pretend they are a superstar.
Freaks, weirdoes, and Michelles alike can
all be found at these places of prestige. The
Alley. Smitty's. Coyote Bar and Grill.
Heck, come on over to my house and bring
your favorite CDs. Let's make a night out
of it.
I recall a semester or so ago there was a
fraternity or sorority something on campus
that had an open karaoke barbeque. Pure
genius. There was a young man who sang
his heart out. He had no crowd to cheer
him on, no beer obviously, and yet he was
this karaoke sprite, asking for nothing but
a chance to finish his song. People walked
by, ignoring the fact that the young man was
flexing his "hip-to-be-square" mentality.
You want to talk about the right to be heard?
A right to information? Students that night
had a right to know who the campus idiots
were. Had I known this function was going
on, I would've changed my schedule to be
a part of CSUSM karaoke barbeque/mixer
something history. My life is full of books
and serving overpriced coffee. Sometimes
a girl like me needs an outlet. A release. A
form of expression. Chasing around older
men gets, well, old.
If Karaoke is a sport, these are the rules:
two teams. One team is the group of individuals who are most definitely feeling the
funk, that is, spirited, a.k.a. drunk. These
people take to the stage and are dead serious. Some have flunked out of the church
choir, are actual singers whose careers have
taken a detour, or have what I like to call
"shower time talent," looking for a contract.
The second team is the team I currently
play for. Strictly for laughs. Oh, but the
game face must be on. Your friends know
you're joking, but the crowd has to really
believe it and feel it. There is one catch if
this is to be Extreme Karaoke. You must
do it stone sober. Otherwise, you may take
it too seriously which could take you out of
the game or you may be possibly swapped
for a player from the first team. Savvy?
This is definitely not to say that you can't
baby-sit a cold one all night, but you have
to be ready for game time. No slurring, just
ultimate Karaoke. I take this game seriously. Just like professional bowlers have
their own balls, I have my signature song,
"Superfreak," by the late great Rick James.
I've done that song in addition to my own
intergalactic planetary robotic seizure
dance. The crowd loves it and I'm sure Mr.
James would too.
I have the intention to go to the sleaziest Karaoke bars in North County and work
my way down to the famous Piano Bar that
was in the movie Top Gun. I hope that on
a Friday night, you shake off that odd little
nugget called self-respect and join in on
the healthy destruction of some really good
songs. Anyone who wants a challenge, just
bring it unless I've met you and it's already
been brought. Oh yeah, baby. I've got big
dreams for Extreme Karaoke. Big dreams.

Tips to help you get through the end of the semester
BY JAMARR PATRICK
Pride Staff Writer
reasoned with your mind about
how you really don't need to go
to class, or how you won't miss
anything in class? I know I have
done it countless times and I'm
Is it me or is it hard to stay
focused late into the semester?
Throughout my college career I
have found it hard to stay focused
as the semester goes on and on
and. No matter what semester it is, spring or fall, I always
find a way to hit "the wall." At
the start of the semester I'm all
gung ho about my education. I
study often, read the material in
advance, highlight things—all
that fun stuff that is supposed to
make you a good student.
Eventually I learn how my professors and classes operate then
my mind works in a different less
efficient way. Instead of doing sure some you have too.
I have some tips to help with
things the easy way, Ifindways to
make the classes and the semester staying focused and to get
a lot harder. I see if attendance is through the semester.
I am no not an expert at this
a mandatory type of thing and if
the lectures are helpful. If they sort of thing, I'm not Dr. Phil,
aren't, then I start conning myself and I am not an "A" student, so
into strategies on how not to go to you take these tips At Your Own

« class. How many times have,you, . Risk\
Know thyself - if you
are a slacker (i.e. motivationally challenged), then do not
get into a class were attendance
is not taken and/òr the absence
rule is not enforced. I tell you
this because sooner or later you
will end up being the person that
shows up to class and the people
that attend every class look at you
like you are crazy. Save yourself

OPINION
THE PRIDE
Mini DV Cameras are available at student
technology help desk
C ommunication majors should be prepared t o b uy expensive e quipment or
wait in line
Desk in the Kellogg Library carries Mini DV Cameras that are
available for students to check
out, but the problem is that they
are hardly ever in.
When I called the Student
Technology Help Desk and asked
how many Mini DV Cameras
they had total, the response was
11, and that they believed four
had permanently been checked
out by professors which brings us
down to the whopping grand total
of seven Mini DV Cameras.
These seven cameras are fair
game; they are free for any student on the CSUSM campus to
check out just like books, and
you are also allowed to re-check
out these cameras upon returning them. I find it hard to believe
that seven Mini DV Cameras are
enough to support the Comm
majors enrolled in these new
classes. The projects in these
new classes are film projects,
which require the use of a video
camera. If you don't have a friend
who'll let you borrow his or her
video camera and your attempts
to check one out from the Student Technology Help Desk were
unsuccessful you're screwed. So
Comm majors get ready to ask for
some extensions because there is
a very good chance you are going
to need them.
Dear Editor,
I wanted to respond to
the people who wrote the
editorials regarding graffiti.
It appears I was the only one
who wrote in that was for the
graffiti. They argued against
it because it was abusing
the idea of free speech and
because the offenders were
spreading lies. Well I still
feel the way I did before
regarding the action but my
new problem is with this idea
of lies. Who cares if they
spread lies? Who is so foolish
that they trust chalk on the
ground? The problem is not
with the people who spread
the lies but with people that
believe the lies. Of course,
a group is going to bend the
truth to get their way this
should be apparent to every
breathing person. It is up to
the individual to be critical of
all they are told. I am tired of
the lazy attitude people have
on thinking for themselves.
They want to live cycles
of working, sleeping, and
watching television. They
want to use as little of their
brain as possible throughout
the day. This is why most
people voted for Bush
because they want someone
to lead their government
and their life. It reminds me
of the period following the
First World War when people
became so disillusioned with
the idea of reason and science
they looked for Nietzsche's
Superman to come and lead
them. This of course led to
such great (sarcasm) leaders
as Stalin, Mussolini, and
Hitler. Nowadays people have
again become disillusioned
with the ideas of critical
thought, reason, and the
individual. Therefore, they
again are looking for a
superman to come and lead
them to some kind of glory
and are it not funny that the
citizens of America chose
George W. Bush to be their
superman. Since the election
for Pope of the United States,
I have begun to ask myself
many questions. Has the
world I live in always been
this sheepish and afraid and
I have only come to realize
it now? Or is it a recent
change? Is this the third great
awakening or worse, the
predawn to the Orwellian life
of 1984? I personally have
given up on you my fellow
man and our society in a
whole but I do wish you good
luck in deciding what I should
think and what I should
believe.
Post Script:
Why is it that our school is
like Saved by the Bell? What
I mean is that it is the same
10 cast members our in every
aspect of our campus life
(ASI, PAN, Pride, Etc...). I
even heard that Zack Morris
(Erik Roper) was gone yet
he still gets the number one
spot on the editorial page.
We students, who do not
care about these same 10
peoples lives, need to write in
more and demand something
different.
Sincerely,
Weston Rogers
Senior, History major, and a
member of the Depopulation
Cooperative.
I am writing to you about the
current issues surrounding the
so called "moral values" and
the "sanctity of marriage".
My 72 year old father recently
went to Russia and brought
back a young woman to
marry, the same age as his
children. Our society will
let any combination of a man
and a woman get married
regardless of its moral
values; yet, they will not
allow homosexuals to share
in the financial, emotional,
and committed benefits of
marriage.
Homosexuality should
be treated as any other
minority in the United
States. For some reason
our society can not look
past their heterocentric
views and extend the rights
to homosexuals that are
extended the rest of the
society. Not long ago there
were miscegenation laws
prohibiting marriage between
members of different races.
Did the world stop spinning
when those laws were
changed? No; and, the world
will not stop spinning if they
allow homosexuals to marry
either. In a sense, what the
American society is doing
by discriminating against
this misrepresented group of
people is itself a form of a
hate crime.
I find it very disturbing how
many religious sectors of
our society get to make the
rules that affect the lives of
those not belonging to their
congregations. Whatever
happened to the separation of
church and state? Why can't
our society let homosexuals
attain the life, liberty, and
pursuit of happiness that their
heterosexual counterparts are
allowed to pursue? Why do
they allow marriages like my
father's to be validated and
not the unions of the loving
relationships of millions
of American citizens, your
brothers, your sisters, your
aunts, your uncles, your sons,
and your daughters..., who
happen to be homosexual?
It is not time that changes
things, it is people that change
things.
Ann Kirkendall
Senior, Liberal Studies major
Regarding the recent storming
of President Haynes' office
on November 10,1 have
one question: don't you
all have anything better
to do? President Haynes
has to run this campus, she
shouldn't have to waste her
time on matters like this.
Instead of thinking up new
schemes to grab attention,
maybe you should focus on
encouraging the wronged
student to exhaust all the
correct channels before
interrupting the president.
Was the affected young man
even present in the storming
of the president's office?
The whole event reeks
of 'publicity stunt' rather than
'truly concerned'.
On another note...last
Thursday there was a
Veteran's Day ceremony held
at CSUSM which
was attended by numerous
students, faculty, and
family members. The event
spotlighted the current reserve
and active duty military
members who are students
among you, several who are
veterans of the war in Iraq.
Regardless of one's views on
our current administration
or the war in Iraq, respect
for those who have died in
past wars should not be a
fad. Not even one article
in the Pride was devoted to
the Veteran's Day ceremony.
What was the Pride afraid
of? What really bothers me is
how many students who don't
support our veterans took
advantage of the free BBQ
given out after the ceremony.

Johnny Depp will

fw #ir $w #
t s •$ w
#

BY PHOENIX LUNDGREN
Pride Staff Writer
For those among us who embrace the
idea of never growing up, "Finding Neverland" tells the story of how the embodiment of that desire, Peter Pan, came into
being.
•
The film opens in London, 1903. J. M.
Barrie's (Johnny Depp) play is bombing
miserably on opening night, and we soon
learn his marriage isn't faring any better.
Barrie heads off to the park the next morning with his gargantuan dog, looking for
inspiration for his next tour de force, when
serendipity brings him and the widow
Sylvia Llewellyn Davies (Kate Winslet)
and her family together. Davies has four
young sons with whom Barrie has more
in common than any of his contemporaries, and with Barrie's imagination and
the boys' willingness to suspend disbelief, they set out on all sorts of fantastical
imaginary adventures.
Davies' son Peter (Freddie Highmore)
lends his name to the boy who never grows
up, and several moments in the film foreshadow other moments and characters that
will make their way into Barrie's script for
"Peter Pan."
Johnny Depp is exquisite as ever, and
his Scottish brogue is sweeter than Sean
Connery's real one. Kate Winslet plays
Davies to tear-jerking perfection, and outstanding support is given by Julie Christie
as Davies' mother, and Dustin Hoffman as
J. M. Barrie's patient theatrical producer.
Director Marc Forester ("Monster's Ball")
brings the lushness of Edwardian London
Photos courtesy of Film Colony Production / The Pride
to the screen, and elicits outstanding performances not only from his cast of awardwinners, but from the children, as well.
Especially remarkable is young Highmore
as Peter, who mesmerizes with his performance.
As J. M. Barrie once said, "Young boys
should never go to bed. They wake up a
day older, and before you know it, they're
grown." Go see "Finding Neverland" and
you'll never want to go to bed, either (and
not just because it's finals week).
A little too shady
It s time to get over Kim
BY SCOTT PHILLIPS
Pride Staff Writer
Eminem's latest CD, "Encore"
fails to impress me after building
his career on controversial lyrics.
On Eminem's 4th release his
lyrics just sound goofy. "Cause
I'm what you wanna be/ So you
just look like an idiot/ When you
say these mean things cause it's
so easy to see/ You're really just
a big weenie (big weenie)." It's
hard pulling up next to somebody
on the road and bumping music
like this.
I'm not afraid to admit I used
to listen to Eminem when he
first came into the game with the
"Marshall Mathers LP." However, after I listened to "Encore,"
I felt myself wanting to hear
something new. He needed to
take new strides in rapping with
fresh material. "You are the ink
to my paper/What my pen is to
my pad/The moral, the very fiber,
the whole substance of my rap."
I wish I could tell him he needs
to get over Kim, who is a prime
target in many of his songs, and
WW
realize there are plenty of other
females in the world. It seems
like everyday he changes from
hating her to loving her.
He also needs to stop rapping
about the "8 mile." I think by
this point, after many CD's and
a featured movie, we know that
Eminem grew up in Detroit's
ghetto, with a dysfunctional
family.
What Eminem is original in is
that he has become very apologetic in his later years. Instead of
creating beef, which is why he is
famous, he apologizes to everyone from Christopher Reeves to
Photos courtesy of Shady Records
Ja Rule and Benzino. His songs
are a lot better when he, excuse
my language, starts shit with
people. I don't really dig seeing
Eminem's emotional side.
Where this CD excels and
becomes somewhat worthy is that
many of the beats produced by Dr.
Dre, Em's mentor, come off really
strong. Songs like "Rain Man,"
"Mosh" and "Never Enough" all
have that million dollar touch
that Dr. Dre knows how to produce. Maybe it's because I'm a
few years older than when I first
listened to Eminem, but I can't
groove with what he says anymore.
I'm not a hater though. I have
to give props to any thirty-twoyear-old rapper that can still make
lyrics and beats from belches,
farts, vomiting, and diarrhea. At
the end of the day it's all about
how you pay your bills, and I'm
sure Eminem's "Encore" will
more than help him with that
task.

CSUSM celebrates fifteenth

From "Cal State Jerome's Chicken Ranch" to Cal State
San Marcos, CSUSM campus has undergone countless
changes, but many administrators have been here all 15
years.
CSUSM celebrated its 15-year anniversary at the library
Plaza Wednesday afternoon, acknowledging long-term,
veteran pioneers.

BY SCOTT PHILIPS
Pride Staff Writer
Police conduct is a growing concern among
those who feel they have been unfairly treated
by campus police. N
An open forum was held on November 4 following the recent arrest of student Jason Edwin
Williams on campus by Cal State San Marcos
University Police. The event was organized
by Professor Sharon Elise from the sociology
department. The Thursday forum had been
rescheduled so President Karen Haynes could
attend, but much to the dissatisfaction of the
attendees, she never arrived.
The forum started with Williams, telling his
side of the events that transpired on the eve of
October 20, including the rough treatment he
alleges during the arrest. According to Williams, he was pulled over by campus police for
failure to stop at a stop sign. Williams claims
he was never asked for his car registration or
insurance, but instead was asked to step out of
his vehicle. He said that after being questioned
about his ownership of the car, the police started
to search the vehicle.
"I asked them why they were searching my
car, and could not get a clear response," Williams said.
He said after finding an open bottle of alcohol—left over from a birthday party a few days
earlier—the officers performed a sobriety test on
Williams. Williams explained that he was going
to study for his midterm. Williams went on to
state that the officers continued with their search
of the car, even after determining that he had
not been drinking,. Williams said he was handcuffed when one of the officers found a kitchen
knife during the second search of Williams' car.

Parking on plastic: It's not asphalt you're on INSIDE

Many students believe that the closure
of the dirt lots during the rain was due to
lot condition, but it was actually because
the entrance of the lot flooded.
According to Robert Williams of
CSXJSM Parking Services, thefloodingof
the entrance was caused by the location of
the, "catch basin at the north end of lot Y
where most of thefloodingoccurred. The
water compromised the dirt bank and created afloodat the entrance. Installation of
the catch basin is scheduled, but the area
must dry out completely prior to starting
work."
The dirt lots were spared by the heavy

According to Williams, the officer kicked out William's feet and
began to search him roughly for
any other contraband. Williams
states that the officers laughed
while executing the search. Williams said he was then forced into
the cruiser and taken to jail.
"While the officer was driving me to jail, he turned around
and told me I didn't belong here,"
Williams said.

Life altering professors are
rare these days.
Many students here aren't
always fond about finding the
perfect teacher who will impact
and change the way we feel
about school. But, believe it or
not, some of the professors here
on campus do just that.
Have you ever walked out of
class feeling like you came out
a better, stronger, wiser person?
That a professor impacted the
way you believe and see things?
Well if you have, here is your
chance to show your appreciation.
The CSU system awards the
CSU Wang Family Award each
year. This award is designed
to recognize faculty who have
distinguished themselves by
making exemplary contributions in their academic disciplines, and by having a discernable impact on their students.
Each year, four faculty members from the CSU system are
honored for their dedication
to serving students needs. Not
only in the classroom but also
for efforts above and beyond
what is expected of them.
The qualifications are based
on teachers that have contributed to learning through activities such as publishing, includ-

CSUSM hasfinallynamed our
mascot- "Crash the Cougar."
"CSUSM has never officially
purchased a real cougar mascot,
ASI felt it was completely necessary," said ASI Vice President
of Communications Roy Lee.
As of October 21, the students at
Cal State San Marcos voted on
the name Crash to represent our
cougar mascot.
Before "Crash the Cougar,"
the CSUSM mascot was given a
local Indian name. The CSUSM
mascot was the "Tukwut," which
is the local Indian language name
for "cougar." Students were unfamiliar with the name and started
calling the mascot a cougar
instead of Tukwut.
"Tukwut was our original
mascot, not the cougar, but since
it meant the same thing, students
adopted the cougar instead," said
Lee.
Students had the option of

ing students in their research,
community service and recruiting students. These professors
contribute and benefit not only
students, but also contribute to
the CSU's reputation for excellence in teaching, learning,
research, scholarly pursuits,
student support and community
contributions.
Faculty that are probationary
and tenured within the last two
years are eligible to be nominated for the Wang Award. One
nominee from each of the following divisions may be nominated: Visual and Performing
Arts and Letters, Natural Sci-
ences, Mathematical and Computer Sciences and Engineering, Social and Behavioral Sciences and Public Services; and
Education, Professional and
Applied Sciences Fields.
Faculty, academic administrators, alumni and students
can nominate professors for
the Wang Award. Nominations
should be submitted in writing to the Senate Office here on
campus, and should explain why
the professor should receive
the award, and the relationship
the nominating individual has
developed with the professor.

voting for Crash, Rocky, Casey,
Corey, and Jamie as possible
names for the cougar mascot. But
many students were not aware of
the naming cougar voting, as well
as knowing the real history of our
mascot.
"It has already been voted on.
It was on the same ballot as the
Childcare Services Referendum,"
said Lee. Students have already
voted and Crash is the new name
for our cougar mascot.
"It is now in due time when
we will make a better formal
announcement regarding the
name of our mascot so students
are fully aware," said Lee.

�Jock Talk With Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
As I was
watching the
election coverage last Tuesday, I was
wondering who
from the sports
world
could
run for President and win. Yeah, my mind is
odd like that.
Thefirstname that popped into
my head was Shaquille O'Neal.
Shaq is extremely charismatic and knows how to work
the media. He has experience
in battle as he has taken a lot of
abuse under the basket. He can
also battle mentally as he was in
a war of words with Kobe for the
past 8-years in La La Land. He
would get a lot of support from
the male voters 18-35 as that is
the core sports viewership. He
would win the urban vote as he is
a hip hop artist (not a very good
one, but he has released some
albums). He grew up in a military
family and he is getting his masters degree in criminal justice,
which would help him with the
military vote. Then as I thought
a little harder, Shaq couldn't beat
Kobe in the battle of Los Angeles
so how could he beat anyone for
M1MÍ
the presidency.
After I realized Shaq wouldn't
hack it, Curt Schilling of the
World Champion Boston Red
Sox popped into my head. This
guy has made an art of using the
media to promote himself. He
would easily get the Republican
vote as he went on the campaign
trail for President Bush. Schilling
has always been a winner as he
has been to the World Series three
times with three different teams.
However, he might piss off a lot
of people because he does speak
an awful lot about religion and
hisbeliefs.
Once I realized Schilling
wasn't going to cut it, I thought
of Dale Earnhardt Jr. Earnhardt
Jr. is an interesting pick here as
he could give "Dubya" a run for
his money because they are so
similar. Earnhardt Jr. could steal
a lot of the southern votes as
NASCAR is huge in that area and
the NASCAR vote was supposed
to have an impact on this past
election. Earnhardt Jr. is also the
son of a legend just like Bush and
just like the president he spends
a lot of his time going in circles.
Earnhardt Jr. also stumbles over
his words in front of national
media like he did several weeks
ago when he dropped an F-bomb
in a post-race interview. But honestly, who is going to vote for a
race car driver?
Then I realized I was forgetting
about the most influential man in
sports history, Michael Jordan.
His Airness has been selling
the American public more crap
than most politicians. I mean this
guy has been the spokesman for
sports drinks, underwear, batteries, fast food, shoes, and pretty
much anything else you can
think of. He also has experience
in being an actor as he did star in
the movie "Space Jam." There is
no doubt he is a winner as he won
Six NBA titles with the Bulls.
I don't believe a sports icon
will ever become President but
it is interesting to imagine what
if, but then again if Arnold and

It's finally over, the election's over!!!
BY JAMARR PATRICK
Pride Staff Writer
First of all, please let me say
that politics can kiss my ass.
Secondly, I am so glad the political season is FINALLY over!
Thefirstreason why I am glad
that it is over is that I don't have
to see these stupid celebrities
hocking their newfound political values at me. Now that the
season is over I canfinallywatch
the same episode of "The Real
World" thirteen times in a row
without having it interrupted
with an "important" message
from Eminem telling me to vote.
Why on Earth would I listen to
a person who has never voted?
He and all of his celebrity brethren all of sudden get a political
wild hair up their asses and they
want to go preach to the masses
about voting? You know what
all these celebrity endorsements
did for me? Nada. Nothing. Zip.
Zero. I have been registered to
vote since I was 18 and P. Diddy
giving me a free "Vote Or Die!"
t-shirt had nothing to do with it.
I, like a whole lot of others, know
that you are supposed to vote if
you want to make a change.
Another reason why I'm glad
the political season is over is that
now I don't have to walk down
the street and see my neighbors
front yard decorated like a pack
of skittles with those bright colored signs encouraging me to
vote for whoever they think is the
best candidate.

up—man was I lost! Now I was
going to be the laughing stock of
the voter world.
To my amazement, when I
arrived all I saw were "W '04"
shirts in line. I had always been
under the impression that you
weren't supposed to make your
candidate choice known. In my
childhood, I would always ask
my mom who she was going to
vote for and she would respond,
"Ryan, its illegal to discuss this
information." Now I know she just
didn't want to talk to me. So even
though all these people broke the
voting etiquette, I wasn't about to
break my voter poker face.
After ten minutes of sitting in
line listening to the elder voter
with his dog behind me preach-
ing religion (needless to say we
all know who he voted for), he
decided to throw a vocal blow my
way. Someone asked him, "Hey
is your dog voting Bush today,
too?" and he responded with, "I
wish. He'd probably make a more
educated decision then some of
the young voters we got here."
I sat, quiet, contemplating a
clever response that would display the knowledge I had on the
candidates and the issues, but the
best I could come up with was
the sarcastic statement, "I highly
doubt that, sir."
I finally made it to the front
of the line. By this time I was
a mess, I could have signed my
name with the sweat off my
palms. I checked in, walked to
the electronic voting contraption, and handled the ballot like
a pro. I looked over at the elder
voter who so rudely judged me,
and was happy to see he needed
to be aided with the electronic
ballot. I softly muttered, "Get
with the times," under my breath,
finished, and walked away proud
with my "I Voted" sticker.
Another eighty miles later I
found myself back in class, a new
person; I was no longer a voting
virgin. The next day when I

Jam Control
This turtle is jumping
BY ALLISON SANDSBURY
Pride Staff Writer
Typically, people jump at bars where
they can dance; the "Jumping Turtle" is
a rock bar. Maybe it should be palled the
"Moshing Turtle."
I was incredibly impressed with the
atmosphere and scenery of the bar; it
reminded me of being in some artsy San
Francisco or Pacific Beach type of cafe,
but it was a lot louder due to the live
music.
The Friday that I checked out the bar,
four bands played. I liked the second
band, called "Fith," because they sounded
like a mix of Silverchair and Incubus.
Other than music for entertainment,
there are also two pool tables (equipped
with two chalk squares), and a functioning dartboard (a rare and pleasurable find
for me).
The $2.50 long-island drink specials
were definitely achieving their goal; they
were cheap, strong, and there was a variety offlavorsto choose from. The MidoriLong-Island drink was the best. There
was also pineapple or orange to choose
from.
Besides the specials, the beers are heavenly. There are 33 choices that are all
draft; they range from Johnny Courage
brewed back east, all the way to Arrogant
Bastard from Stone Brewery right here in
San Marcos.
The only thing worse than the semifunctional bathroom (I want to stress the
singularity/non-pluralness of bathROOM)
was the cover charge at the door. I'm not
a big fan of cover charges, but it was only
five dollars and the drink specials were
satisfying, so I got over it.
The bathrooms weren't totally intolerable because there were only about 15-20
girls there, the rest of the 40 people were
all guys; it was a sausage fest. This is my
kind of bar : I'm a cute, single, and 21-yearold girl, by the way.

"

9 * 1|| ' : ' . If"
BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
"'The Grudge' is less a film than a terror
delivery system," wrote Keith Phipps for The
Onion. I'm quoting Mr. Phipps here because
he has defined "The Grudge" better in one
sentence than I could do in one page.
The Grudge is a remake of Ju-On; a Japanesefilmby Takashi Shimizu. The American
version, "The Grudge," is set in Japan, but is
cast with Hollywood faces: Sarah Michelle
Gellar, Bill Pullman, and Jason Behr.
The plot summary is simple: Study Abroad
student Karen (Gellar) volunteers as a senior
citizen aid. Her first assignment is at a
ghost-filled house in Tokyo. The premise of
the ghosts is that a woman was killed in a fit
of rage by her husband who then killed himself and their son. Karen then takes on the
task of discovering the history of the haunted
house.
Do not let the simplicity (or the former
vampire slayer) deter you from seeing this
film. The movie is scary as hell and I don't
care how accustomed you think you are to
horror movies; once you see the little Japanese boy (Yoko Maki) pop out of a closet,
you will be looking over your shoulder for
days after you leave the theatre.
"The Grudge" is fused with suspense and
technology. This is the first horror movie

background of Toyko, which is futuristic in
itself.
Although the movie trailers assert that the
stars of the movie are Sarah Michelle Geller
and Bill Pullman, the character development
is slim to none and you willfindthat no one
character is more important than another.
I Mghly recommend "The Grudge.'' I will
conclude with this, as just thinking about this
movie for my review is giving me chills and I
amfindingmyself looking over my shoulder

The "Saw" doesn't
cut it as a psychohorror flick
BY SCOTT PHILLIPS
Pride Staff Writer
Maybe I set the bar too high
before viewing the movie "Saw."
The movie had extreme potential
and could have shaped up to be
a thriller that left a lasting emotional effect.
"Saw" is about a killer who
selects "worthy" victims and
puts them into bizarre situations.
The victim is left with little time
to make life or death decisions.
The movie starts with complete darkness, and then opens

to a rusty and abandoned industrial bathroom, where two men
are chained on both sides of the
room. In between the two men
is a dead body with a gunshot
wound ta the head, a .38 handgun, and an enormous pool of
blood. This is one hell of an
opening scene. Both Dr. Gordon
Lawrence (Cary Elwes) and a
young man named Adam (Leigh
Whannell) must figure out how
to escape, using the few clues
that the killer has left them. This
includes two saws, too weak for
the chains, but just sharp enough
for human flesh.
The following scenes take you
through the path that leads to
the connection these two men
have to each other and eventually, who is at hand for these hideous crimes. While disturbing,
the scenes lack that "umph" that
would classify this movie in the
realms of "Se7en".
The movie takes us through a
series of gore, violence and selfinflicted pain, but we can only
feel sympathy for our charac-
ters because of the situation they
are put in. There is no character development and the acting
is unconvincing.
There are
many parts where the suspense
is leading us to a very shocking moment, but far too often
the surprise never comes. I was
hoping for a strong performance
from Cary Elwes after a long
departure from the big screen,
but was not impressed with his
overacting in many scenes.
I would only recommend
seeing this movie if you are truly
into psychopathic thrillers. Even
then, you might be let down
because of the unrealized potential of this movie. Take your
chance and maybe you will get
more out of "Saw" than me, but
let's just say "I told you so " . ,
A Perfect Circle's much anticipated album "eMOTIVE" hit
stores November 2. A collection
of songs put together by the infamous quartet that is described by
Maynard James Keenan (vocalist), as "a collection of songs about
war, peace, love and greed."
The band has diversified their
music, and fan base with this
new album. One of the tracks,
"Imagine" is a John Lennon song
that speaks of a fictitious world
without greed, possessions, religion, and all things that create
division between people. "eMOTIVE" also includes cover songs
by classic groups such as; Marvin
Gaye's "What's Going On,"
Memphis Minnie's blues stomper, "When The Levee Breaks"
(made famous by Led Zeppelin),
Depeche Mode's "People Are
People," Devo's "Freedom Of
Choice," Black Flag's "Gimmie
Gimmie Gimmie," Fear's "Let's
Have A War," Joni Mitchell's
"Fiddle And The Drum," and
the Nick Lowe (by way of Elvis
Costello) anti-anthem, "(What's
So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love
And Understanding,"
The album will definitely
appeal to those who enjoy some
of the tracks listed above. However I think most old school fans
will feel slightly cheated. There
is original material on this album.
Is it what you are looking for similar to the Perfect Circle of old?
Probably not! A Perfect Circle
was able to create quality renditions of the tunes, retaining their
own dark, rhythmic, and heavy
sound.
We are witnessing the progression of a truly great rock band
attempting to branch out and
reach a more diverse fan base
with an abstract new album.
Most of the reactions to "eMOTIVE" so far are in fact, negative,
citing Eminem's appearance on
the album to be, "embarrassing."
A Perfect Circle fan may be a bit
apprehensive to buy this album
due to the large number of cover
songs contained in the album.
However the album's message is
to be considered as it comes to
our nation at afittingtime of war
and uncertainty.

Childcare services
to end without new
f unds
BY TIFFANY LIU
Pride Staff Writer
Childcare services on campus will end
a fter this semester unless students approve
additional funding.
Since 1998, Associated Students, Inc.
(ASI) has owned and operated the Early
Learning Center (ELC) which provides low
cost childcare services for students, faculty,
and staff. Due to ASI experiencing significant budget cuts these f unds will no longer
be available.
If no new f unding source i s acquired,
childcare services at CSUSM will have to
b e discontinued until December 2007 when
the Center for Children and Families is
expected to open.
"These students would have to drop out
of school if i t wasn't for this place," said
Mosetta Rodrigues-Coppedge in reference
to students who have children in the ELC.
Currently, 48 students have children
enrolled at the Early Learning Center; 35
students utilize the center f ull time and 13
use it part time.
The ELC's curriculum provides an
instruction that enables children to build
self-esteem, learn acceptable methods of
cooperation and become competent individuals within a group setting.
There are 6 schedules to choose from for
the f ull time program which consists of 8-9
hour days and 3 schedules to choose from
for the part time program which consists of
4 hour days.
Registration for children costs $23 for
students, and $30 for faculty and staff per
semester. In addition tuition costs at the
ELC are $23 full-time and $16 part-time
per day for students and $30 full-time and
$20.00 part-time per day for faculty and
staff.
In addition to providing childcare, the
ELC provides the campus with internships,
employment opportunities, as well as a
source for course projects and child observation.
In an attempt raise the f unds needed to
support the ELC a Childcare Fee Referendum has been called. Voting for the referendum will be conducted at http://lynx.
csusm.edu/vote/from October 18-21.
According to ELC projections 92 percent

Despite assurances from lawmakers as well as both presidential candidates, the
bill to reinstate the draft is before the Senate Committee on Armed Services
BY CHEZ ARE MILO
Pride Staff Writer
Despite the recent defeat of d raft legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives, d raft legislation remains under
consideration in the Senate.
The latest version of United States
Senate Bill 89, titled the Universal
National Service Act of 2003, calls for
a mandatory selective service requirement of two years for men and women
between the ages of 18-26.
The bill in its most recent form offers
no deferment for college students and
makes it mandatory for wome
n to
sign up for the draft. S. 89 is currently
under review in the Senate Committee
on Armed Services.
According to one provision in the bill,
"based upon the needs of the uniformed
services, the President shall determine
the number of persons" who shall b e
called to serve. People "who are not
selected for (the) military ... shall perform their national service obligation
under this Act in a civilian capacity"
S. 89 also gives the President power

What's behind the Alcohol
BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
The New York Times is available to students at no charge for a four week trial
period beginning Oct 11.
There will be 500 New York Times
newspapers distributed around campus
Monday through Friday.
At the end of trial period, Associated
Students Inc. will decide whether or not
to continue the service, which will cost
$2,000 per month, or choose to have pay
racks, like the North County Times, and
have the students pay for each paper.
"I think this is an amazing opportunity.
We use the New York Times in so many of
our classes. Second, if students are passing

Voter Registration deadline is
approaching
BY LINDSAY RIEDEL
Pride Staff Writer
Time is running out for qualified people who have not yet registered to vote. Voter registration
forms must be postmarked by
October 18 in order to be eligible
to vote in the November 2 general
election.
In order to be eligible to register to vote in the State of California, you must be a U.S. Citizen,
a California resident, at least 18
years of age on or before the election, not be in prison or on parole
for a felony conviction, and not
be declared mentally incompetent by a court action.
There are three ways to register
to vote in thé state of California.
One way is to download a registration form from the I nter-
net, fill it out, and mail it in.
Downloadable registration forms
can be found on several websites including http://www.ss.ca.
gov/elections/voteregl.html and
www.rockthevote.org.
Another way to register to vote
is by obtaining, filling out and
mailing in a registration postcard.
Registration postcards are available at the DMV, the post office,
at public libraries as well as the
Kellogg Library on campus.
The third way to register is
to have a registration postcard
mailed to you, fill it out, and mail
it back.
Those wishing to have registration postcard mailed to their residence should contact the Registrar of Voters main office at (858)
565-5800 and request a registration postcard.

Voter registration forms are
available in English and in Spanish.
If you are already registered to
vote in California, it is only necessary to re-register to vote if you
move, change your name, or wish
to change your party affiliation.
Some people don't register to
vote under the pretense that they
will not be called for j ury duty,
but this is not true. The list of
registered voters is shared with
the court system; however indi-
viduals are already in the pool of
people to be called for j ury duty
if they have a driver's license or
state-issued identification card.
On Election Day a picture ID is
required for first time voters who
registered by mail. If you plan to
vote through an absentee ballot,
the option is provided on voter
registration forms. The deadline
to apply for an absentee ballot is
October 2 6,2004.

As today's appearance of
Michael Moore at the Del Mar
Fairgrounds draws closer, the
buzz around campus and the
community grows louder. Tickets
are sold out, protestors are rallying, and controversy is stirring.
By the time tickets became
available to the public on the
morning of October 7, there
were 2,500 tickets to sell out of
the total 10,000 tickets originally
available. Tickets sold out on
October 8.
Penelope Young Andrade, a
Rancho Penasquitos resident,
feels that the decision to postpone
ticket sales to the public was not
executed as well as it could have
been.

accidentally, I happened to go

community turnout, it would
have been better if it weren't

Many of the community members who came to buy tickets
were not upset by the postponement of ticket sales.
"It's originally supposed to be

ASI publicized the postponement of ticket sales by sending

to "select the individuals among
those persons who are to be
inducted for military service
under this Act," and, "prescribe
such regulations as are necessary
to carry out this Act."
In order for S. 89 to become
law, it would have to pass in the
Senate as well as the House of
Representatives.
The nearly identical house
version of the bill, HR 163, was
unexpectedly brought to a vote
on October 5.
Republican
Congressman
John M. McHugh of New York
motioned to bring the bill to a
vote early by placing the legislation on the Suspension Calendar.
"Now some may say today that
this legislation is really about
the need to establish a system of
national service— And I would
say—that is a legitimate topic of
discussion. But the clear objective of this bill—and the undeniable intent of recent claims of
secret plans and post election
plots is focused on a return of the
draft—forced military conscription," said McHugh before the
house.
"The administration clearly, the
Department o f Defense clearly,
and I suspect that at the end of
this vote it will be shown the
House of Representatives clearly
rejects the fact, either before an
election, at election or a fter election, that there is a need, there is
a rationale, for returning to mandatory conscription by the United
States military." said McHugh
prior to Tuesday's vote.
The vote was 402 - 2 against
the bill.
Democratic
Congressman
Charles Rangel of New York, the
original sponsor of HR 163, was
unhappy with the rush to vote.
"The Republican leadership
decision to place the d raft legislation on the Suspension Calen-

dar (bring the bill to a vote early)
is a political maneuver to kill
rumors of the President's intention to reinstate the d raft after the
November election." said Rangel
in a public statement released
after the vote.
Cosponsor of the bill, Democratic Congressman Pete Stark of
California, stated the intent of the
legislation upon its introduction
to the House of Representatives.
"I ardently oppose war with
Iraq....For those who conscientiously object to war; the bill
assures that any military service
would not include combat. Oth-
erwise, there would be no preferences, no deferments, no chance
for the well-off or the well-connected to dodge military service
for their country, as did our President.
"
"Reinstituting the d raft may
seem unnecessary to some. But,
it will ensure all Americans share
in the cost and sacrifice of war.
Without a universal d raft, this
burden weighs disproportionately on the shoulders of the poor,
the disadvantaged and minority
populations. It is my understanding that out of the 435 Members
of this House and the 100 members of the Senate, only o neonly one—has a child in active
military service. Who are we to
know the pain of war when we
ourselves will not directly bear
the brunt of that action? It won't
be us mourning the loss of a child
or loved one. Maybe some of you
in this Congress would think
twice about voting for war in
Iraq if you knew your child may
be sent to fight in the streets of
Baghdad?" said Stark.
Despite the continued consideration of S. 89 in the Senate
both presidential candidates have
made statements indicating there
will be no d raft.
"I hear there's rumors on the
Internets that we're going to have
a draft. We're not going to have
a draft, period. The all-volunteer Army works. It works particularly when we pay our troops
well. It works when we make sure
they've got housing, like we have
done in the last military budgets.
And all-volunteer Army is best

We don't need mass armies anymore," said President Bush during
the Friday October 8 debate.
"Forget all this talk about a

"Let me tell you where the
president's policies have put us .

Kerry.

Know your alcohol
Requirement must be fulfilled this week
BY KIN SCHLATTER
Pride Staff Writer
All incoming freshman and transfer students who attended orientation this past
summer will be required to take an alcohol
prevention program.
Students to which the requirement
applies must successfully pass the final
exam with a grade of 70 percent or better
no later than October 15, 2004. Students
that fail to complete the requirement will
have a hold placed on their registration for
spring 2005 classes.
In order to satisfy the alcohol education
requirement students are required to complete a program called AlcoholEdu, which
is on-line education course designed for
college students.
There are two parts to the AlcoholEdu
course that need to be completed to satisfy the requirement. The first part of the
course requires completion of a final exam
and post-survey.
The second part of the course requires
the completion of a "course conclusion"
which will be emailed to students approximately 30 days after completion of the
first part of the course. The "course conclusion" must be submitted by December
7 in order to fulfill the alcohol education
requirement.
Informing
students
about
the
facts and risks of alcohol consumption is the goal of AlcoholEdu.
AlcoholEdu was created by Outside the
Classroom, an online education company,
and is currently being used by over 350 college campuses.
The decision to use the AlcoholEdu program came from the university's Substance
Abuse Advisory Council.
The Substance Abuse Advisory council is a group of faculty, students, staff
and members of the local community who
work on alcohol prevention for the campus
and the city of San Marcos.
"The council reviewed several prevention programs that could be delivered to
our students and chose Alcohol EDU as
the tool for all of our incoming students to
use as part of their orientation to our campuses," said Bridget Blanshan director of
Student and Residential Life and member
of the Substance Abuse Advisory Council.
"The course was designed to give students
information to assist them into making
wise decisions about alcohol use and let
students learn their own limits about alcohol consumption."
Jonathon Poullard, associate vice president for Student Affairs, also has a seat on
the Substance Abuse Advisory Council.
"The Alcohol EDU Prevention Program
is a broad-base population approach to
establishing and reinforcing a norm around
consumption," said Poullard.
Students that have any questions about
meeting the requirement can call Deb
Fritsrold at Students and Residential
Life @ (760)-750-4952. More information about the requirement can be found

Open forum for 'Fahrenheit 9/11
BY ALFRED CHU
Pride Staff Writer
With the heightened interest
of the scheduled appearance of
Michael Moore at the Del Mar
fairgrounds, and the upcoming
election, a screening of the controversial documentary "Farenhenheit 9/11" was presented in
the A rts 240 building on October
5.
Among the audience, was a
panel of distinguished speakers such as Scott Greenwood,
CSUSM professor of political
science, Beth Accomando, KPBS
film critic, and Daniel McSwain,
editorial page editor of the North
County Times.
The screening began at 6p.m.
and was followed by a group discussion conducted by the panel
of speakers. Most of the audience seemed to enjoy the film as
laughter occasionally swept the
room.
Admission prices were $2.50
for Cal State San Marcos students, $3 for faculty and staff and
$4 for other guests.
A fter the screening, audience
members exchanged opinions
and views with each other and
with the panel of speakers. The
"When we collect

topics ranged from the quality
of the documentary to Michael

�Oktoberfest lives on
BY PETER SCHWARTZ
Pride Staff Writer
Oktoberfest arrived at CSUSM
as entertainers Bill and Erma
Fassel performed with their
Group D'Zwon Bergtaler.
"The event was
successful and fed
CSUSM students
at the rate of 200
bratwurst hot dog
plates per hour"
The festival came to the Mezzanine playing Bavarian polkas,
waltzes, ballads and dancing
called Schuhplatters. Schuhplatters consist of a duo dancing in
circles arm in arm, while intermittently slapping the soles of
their shoes.
"My family has always loved
the Schuplatter tradition," said
Erma Fassel, "which originated
when the Germari village folk
observed bird mating dances
while playing classical music"
"The Oktoberfest tradition
started in the middle ages when
King Ludwig 1 married Theresa
of Saxon and threw a huge party
for the event," said Bill Fassel,
who is three-fourths Austrian
and one-fourth Bavarian. It went
so well that he decided to do it
again next year.
The tradition has lived on as
a lavish party and celebrates the
fall harvest in the Bundesland.
In modern Germany Oktoberfest is celebrated in many places
but mainly in the big city of
Munich located in the southern
province of Bavaria.
The cultural event happens
when the people set up nine huge
tents, holding about 10,000 people
each and having an authentic
twenty-five man brass band playing folk music for residents and
visitors from around the world.
A variety of different beers are
served and traditional attire is
worn to signify the history of the
region.
CSUSM's Oktoberfest was
an ASI sponsored event developed by Tanja Schroder, director
Bill Fassel plays the accordion for students at the Mezzanine.
of ASI cultural events, and Jen
Kitter, director of annual events.
"The event was successful and
fed CSUSM students at the rate
of 200 bratwurst hot dog plates
per hour/' said Kitter. Drinks,
sauerkraut and fried onions were
also served.
"If you missed the event, ASI
has plans for another fun Oktoberfest but you'll have to wait
until next year," said Schroder.
Students receive bratwurst hot dogs from ASI.

Lunafest presents films b enefiting breast cancer awareness f und
BY ALLISON SANSBURY
Pride Staff Writer
Lunafest is a traveling film
festival that features movies and
short films created by, for and
about women. Cal State San
Marcos got two chances to catch
the Lunafest this year, once on
October 8 and October 9.
Lunafest is sponsored by Lunabar, a nutritional bar. Luna-bar is
presently an active sponsor of the
Breast Cancer Awareness Fund.
Being Breast Cancer Awareness month, there could not be a
more appropriate time to have the
festival.
The makers of the Luna-bar,
Clif Bar Inc., created the Lunabar in response to female consumers and women employees of
Clif Bar Inc.
The films that played at Lunafest this year were, "A Good
Uplift", "Shui Hen", "Little Black
Boot", "Wet Dreams and False
Images", "Velvet Tigress", "La
Milpa/The Cornfield" and "Dysenchanted".
The Breast Cancer Awareness
Fund is a nonprofit organization
focused on identifying the
causes of breast cancer
and preventing the disease. Cures for breast
cancer can vary but the
extreme involves removing the breast.
Portions of the profits from
ticket sales go to the Breast
Cancer Fund. The first ever
Lunafest raised $7,000 in 2001.
Although, last year $21,500 was
raised.
The next stop for the Lunafest
is in Seattle, Washington. Lunafest will then continue its trip
across the U.S.
Shows ranging from the Lunabar headquarters in Berkeley to
Boston and
even Canada.
The Lunabar also
sponsors
other
groups
such as the
Luna Chix,
the official professional mountain biking team of Luna-bar.

�Jock Talk With Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
"Friday NightLights"
starring Billy Bob
Thornton was released
last week and j ust like
every other sports
movie that comes out, I
j ust had to see it.
There have been quite
I a few sports movies that
have been disappointing like "For The Love of The Game"
with Kevin Costner or "The Rookie" with
Dennis Quaid and no disrespect to those
guys but they don't belong on the field
trying to imitate athletes.
Actors trying to play coaches hasn't
exactly worked out too well either; j ust ask
A1 Pacino in "Any Given Sunday" which
was not one of his greatest performances.
So when I heard Billy Bob Thornton was
going to play the part of head coach Gary
Gaines in this movie I didn't exactly have
the best feeling.
However, Billy Bob did not disappoint
in this role. He played the role of the head
coach of the Permian High Panthers in the
small town of Odessa, Texas.
Permian high was profiled in an issue
of Sports Illustrated in 1988 that told the
story of this football team that had to overcome many obstacles to narrowly lose in
the Texas state football championship.
In small towns of Texas, high school
football is everything to the people. The
entire town shuts down on Friday nights
so that everyone can catch the game.
With so much focus on the sport, the
student athletes and coaches feel the pres-
DEGREE
sure to perform.
The star running back for the Panthers
was Boobie Miles (Played by Derek Luke)
who had his ticket written to pretty much
any college until he got hurt the first game
of the season with a knee injury. Boobie
felt so much pressure that he tried to come
back too early and he f urther injured his
knee.
Many kids who play football feel extra
pressure because their dads were great
football players and such was the case of
Don Billingsley. Billingsley is played by
Garret Hedlund and his dad is played by
country western star Tim McGraw. Billingsley is constantly being berated by his
father for not living up to what his father
accomplished when he played football.
For some kids in these small towns their
only ticket out is through football and
such was the case for quarterback Mike
Winchell (played by Lucas Black). A fter
the injury to Boobie, Winchell was forced
to find a way to get this team to the championship when not much was expected of
him at the beginning of the season.
The story of Coach Gaines is then
intertwined with those young kids showing that the athletes aren't the only ones
who have to overcome a lot of pressure
and expectations.
This story is a story that the non sports
fan will even enjoy as it is more a story
about people and their shortcomings that
they can overcome with perseverance.
If you have any praise, criticism or
topics for discussion then send me an Email to Sando026@csusm.edu

�Is Mother Nature a Democrat or Republican?
FROM THE RIGHT
Mother Nature
loves you. If you
think about it,
she's pretty damn
tolerant.
People
litter the world
with their trash
and pollute the air
Polly
Charoenkwanchai around them, yet
she is constantly
attempting to rejuvenate the earth. We
assume that she can do this fast enough
to catch up to the bag of chips we hastily
threw on the road yesterday or the factory down the road. Amid the busy life
of a student, there is little or no time to
think about the environment.
Most of us are hypocrites. We say we
care about the nature of the world while
almost all of us continue to drive vehicles that pollute the air. It's a catch-22!
I am opposed to drilling oil in Alaska,
but I love my little Honda Civic which
consumes gas like a frat boy gulps down
beer. I hate the thought of wild life losing
their habitat, but that doesn't make me
want to walk to work.
So what is the solution?
Should we forgo cars and live off the
land? I believe that there are little things
people can do to help Mother Nature
help us:
Don't Litter. Trashcans are virtually
everywhere nowadays; it wouldn't hurt
to walk the extra eight steps to dispose
your garbage.
Carpool. It saves money, it helps the
environment and you have your own
specially designated lane on the f reeway. Better yet, use a bike to reach your
destination. I 'm not suggesting you bike
if you live in San Marcos and work in
Poway, but you can certainly bike to the
market down the block. Once again, it
saves money, it helps the environment
and provides great exercise.
You know those trashcans that are
specified for certain types of trash? Plastics, cans, bottles and papers? Those are
cans that help people recycle. They're
all over campus! It shouldn't be hard to
figure out where you should dump your
soda can. Recycling allows less trash to
be sent to the landfills, thereby saving
natural resources such as trees, oil and
aluminum.
The Bush administration passed a
Clean Air Act that supposedly restricts
air pollution by installing new pollution,
control that will regulate major factory
upgrades. This act would work if they did
not also propose a revision to the rules
called the New Source Review, which
would make it simple for these plants to
find a loophole to avoid or delay installing the pollution reduction technologies.
This administration has also proposed
to exterminate an act that would protect about 58 million acres of national
forest, thereby allowing logging on more
open land. The Bush administration has
consistently proposed laws that hurt the
environment.
Although
Kerry has had
his share of
blemishes (he
voted against
the
maintenance of forest
road
service
and
wildlife
habitat
programs),
but
he is endorsed
by the Sierra
Club, a national
e nvironmental organization. Kerry has
voted to protect California
deserts. He has
proposed
to
end commercial whaling and illegal trading
on whale meat. Kerry has voted
repeatedly to block oil drilling
in ANWR (Artie National Wildlife Refuge).
Despite the words of politicians, it is imperative that we
do something to help the precious and fragile condition of
the earth. Whether your course
of action leads you to the voting
booth or not, it is time to realize that we have responsibilities
towards Mother Nature before
it's too late.
Some days at
CSUSM I feel like
the lone buoy of
moderate conservatism floating in
a sea of radical liberals:
professors
preach the futility
Phoenix Lindgren of the war in Iraq —
and regime change
in November ~ f rom their classroom
pulpits, the liberal PAN is the most vocal
group on campus and Kerry buttons on
back packs appear to outnumber Bush
buttons at least a thousand to one.
But I never feel
alone when it comes to
environmental issues.
I, too, have a fondness
for clean air and water
and space for wildlife. I recycle what I
can on campus, and
curbside at my house
(paper, plastic, glass,
aluminum, and clean
greens). I quit commuting to reduce my
car's emissions (and
my stress level). I ride
my scooter to work
when the weather's
Photos by Jason Encabo / The Pride
nice to save energy. And I'm religious
about turning off lights and keeping my
water use to a minimum.
It warms the cockles of my heart to
see students walking to campus, overflowing recycling bins and f ull carpool
spaces in our parking lots, but I've also
seen plenty of recyclables in the garbage,
garbage left for someone else to pick up,
and students being dropped off in front
of Craven by family or friends rather
than being inconvenienced by public
transportation.
One of my biggest on-campus pet
peeves is those among us who use the
electric doors unnecessarily. I know it's
probably not a huge amount of wasted
electricity, and I have no argument if
your hands are f ull or you really do have
trouble opening a door for yourself, but
I'm constantly following people — particularly through Craven ~ who appear
to use the electric door buttons as a personal, energy-wasting convenience.
How each of us chooses to treat the
environment is something that can't be
legislated, in spite of beliefs to the contrary by my liberal colleagues. Yes, the
state can mandate that the school recycles
a certain volume of refuse, but unless
you choose to put your recyclables into
the right bin, no mandate can keep plastic and paper out of the waste stream.
You're also the only one who can
choose to pre-cycle — that is buy products with less packaging to reduce waste
~ take care of your clothes so they last
longer, and bring a reusable mug with
you to pour your organically grown
coffee in. The government can legislate
lower emissions for cars, but you're the
one who controls what manufacturers
offer based on what cars you buy. And
legislation is useless when it comes to
whether or not you choose to alter your
lifestyle in order to reduce the number of
miles you drive each year, or whether or
not when the time comes to start investing your hard-earned money you invest
in companies that treat the environment
(and their workers) well.
Who would you rather have r unning a
major corporation: a person whose only
motivation for corporate responsibility
is legislated, or a person who believes in
the principal of personal responsibility
and extends that belief to how their corporation conducts its business?

�Dear Editor,
I'm sure you all know but
in case you don't October
18th-21st are the dates for
the voting for the Childcare
Services Fee Referendum
to keep the Early Learning
Center open. The Early
Learning Center is CSUSM's
answer for childcare for
student parents.
I know there are many of
you out there who would like
to vote no because you don't
want to pay for something
you are not going to use. I
understand that, however
many of us pay for fees here
we don't use, books we don't
read, a parking structure
we will never see. This ten
dollars is at least going to
a humanitarian cause: the
education of children.
The Early Learning Center
enables many parents the
ability to continue their
education to provide a
better life for their children,
provides childcare to CSUSM
faculty & the community, as
well as provides internships,
employment opportunities
and more. It is a wonderful
program. As you could guess,
I am a student parent; my
daughter Madison age three
has attended the "school" as
she calls it, for a little over a
year and she loves it. In that
time, she has become potty
trained, learned toridea
tricycle, can count to twenty,
is recognizing numbers, is
learning to write her name,
and is learning valuable social
skills. She would have met
these milestones eventually
but I know that they have
been met sooner and with
more understanding with
the love and support of the
ELC staff behind her. I really
hope students realize that this
is not about ten more little
dollars (it's only two or three
Starbucks©), but it's about
the big picture and as cheesy
as it sounds, children are our
future.
The children who attend
the center might be only
between the ages of 2 and
5 but they still care about
their school. If the vote
doesn't pass the ELC will
be forced to close its doors.
How awful would that be for
this to be these children's
first educational experience;
a school they have been so
comfortable in and have
grown to love being closed
because CSUSM couldn't
fit it in their budget. Please
do therightthing for these
children, please protect their
school, please protect their
teacher's jobs, please vote yes
and encourage others to do so.

Dear pride/editor:
For the last weeks it seems
that all you write about is
Michael Moore.When the
controversy began there were
even four more pages of the
edition. I want to know who
makes the decision on what
to write. AtfirstI thought that
the writters only wrote about
events that gave out free food.
There was a report about the
president's pick-nick and
the recycling thing, both
events gave out free food.
But between those two events
there was another event that
gave free food but there was
nothing written about it.
Maybe it was because it was
a celebration of the Mexican
independence day. Or maybe
it was because MEChA was
an organizer of that event. I
do not know the answer but I
thought that a cultural event
that included dance and poetry
would be something to be
reported about, but it was not
the case. This week we have
some more Michael Moore
news, and I bet that next week
there will be some more.
There was another event that
I think was important but
the Pride did not take into
consideration writting about
it. This event was announced

I'm referring to Preview Day
which was held last Saturday
here on campus. It is the first
year that this event takes place
here and it was organized
by the University Outreach
and Recruitment. There were
many people that worked hard
to put this event together and
again the Pride didn't write
about it. Thank you for your
time.

�There's always room From bra shopping to wet

for Cake:
Pressure Chief
BY PATRICIA GUEVARRA

BY AMIRA EL-KHAOULI
Pride Staff Writer
Any man daring enough to
wear pink is alright in my book.
So imagine my intrigue when
picking up Cake's latest album
Pressure Chief. Both the packaging and the CD inside were
covered in vintage-inspired pink
decals.
Pressure Chief is by far Cake's
most eclectic album yet. The
band stretches the genre of ska to
its fullest extent by including so
many things not typically heard
in the alternative rock category.
There are trumpets galore,
mostly present in the first song
"Wheels" but they're used
throughout the entire album. The
banjo is prominent in "End of the
Movie" to convey the mood of an
old picture.
Overall, this album is so
diverse that you really need to
listen to every song to get the feel
of what Cake is trying to accomplish. Each song is more melodic
than the last and everything just
works well together.
"No Phone" is the second track
and is headlining the record. It's
very much electronica-inspired
and has the catchiest tune out of

Police officer Washburn (Jimmy Fallon) flags down a taxi.
'Fare'ly awful
BY RYAN JAMES
Pride Staff Writer
Saturday Night Live is a hit,
but we can't say the same thing
for Jimmy Fallon's acting career.
The lead role of police officer
Washburn is played by Fallon.
Washburn is striving to please
his police officer father by being
a prestigious upholder of the law.
In his attempts to obtain this
dream, Washburn encounters
many obstacles, the number one
obstacle being his phobia of driving.
"Taxi" opens with Washburn
in undercover attire blowing
a case and then proceeding to
wreck a squad car, an aspect he is
known for among his force. He
then becomes the laughing stock
of the NYPD due to a newspaper
cover story of his idiocy.
Upset with Washburn's terrible driving record, lieutenant
Ruby (Jennifer Esposito) revokes
his driver license and sends him
walking. While walking home a
bank robbery in progress is called
into Washburn's radio. Quick to
redeem himself Washburn flags
down a taxi, but not just any taxi,
the suped up too fast too f urious taxi of Belle (Queen Latifah). Washburn leads Belle on
an ongoing pursuit of a gang of
four beautiful Brazilian models,
I mean bank robbers led by Vanessa, played by Vitorias Secret
model Gisele Bundchen.
When we as viewers go to
see movies like "Taxi" we don't
expect to see the greatest movie
ever, but we do expect to get
some laughs and leave the theater with a sense of enjoyment.
While I did have the occasional
laugh, it was short, and usually
inspired by Belle, not our leading
man Washburn. Queen Latifah's
role of Belle and even the role
of Washburns drunkard mother
(Ann-Margaret) outshined leading man Fallon. This movie
lacks the one- liners that make
comedies successful. While a
fan of Fallon, he wasn't able to
cross over his comedic act on to
the big screen. I do not recommend this movie.
Taxi driver Belle (Queen Latifah) argues with Police officer Washburn (Fallon)

Well you will not need to look serves great Italian food at fair

The Italian translation of
"grappa" literally stands for
grape pomace acquavite: "water
of life". Grappa was first produced in Italy around 1000 A.D.
It used to be considered a poor
man's drink. However, during
the 1960's and 1970's, the evolution of distilling technology
and v ast improvements in wine
production all contributed to the
reincarnation of grappa which is
now known to be an elegant Italian brandy. Grappa, the restaurant, serves grappa f rom $7- $18

and 20 percent off all pastas on
Wednesdays. You can also find
coupons for Grappa inside Clipper magazine. Grappa contains
a f ull bar and happy hour is held
from 4-7p.m. daily. Grappa also
provides f ree Internet service
while you dine. All you have to
do is bring in your laptop and
they'll provide you with WiFi.
Grappa has a great environment for all to enjoy a nice f ulfilling and refreshing meal either
inside or outside on the patio. The
servers provide excellent service
to ensure that you are more than
satisfied with your meal.
"Grappa has a great atmosphere," said server Danielle
Trombi, "and I truly enjoy serving all the different people who
come in."
Their extensive menu consists
of golden fried zucchini served
with marinara sauce, antipasto
and a wonderful platter of golden
fried calamari, shrimp, zucchini
and parmesan french f ries. They
also serve salads, soups, sandwiches/panini, pastas, rotisserie
and a variety of meals off the
grill.
O h... and who could forget
their oakwood fired pizzas and
homemade desserts...both are so
very hard to pass up.
Internet access, fair prices,
great food, great service, great
environment, great specials......

A crowd of approximately 10,000 was on hand at the
Del Mar Fairgrounds Tuesday, October 12 foi Michael
Moore's anticipated appearance. During this stop on
his "Slacker Uprising Tour," Moore announced that the
remaining funds raised for the evening's event would go
to a scholarship/grant program for CSUSM students.
ASI president Manal Yamout began the event nearly
an hour after the scheduled start time of 7p.m. She
addressed the crowd before introducing Michael
Moore.

Students protest event
BY HEATHER HOFFMANN
Pride Staff Writer
Approximately 150 students
and community members filled
the street corner at Via De La
Valle and Jimmy Durante Boulevard in Del Mar to protest
before the appearance of filmmaker Michael Moore.
CSUSM College Republicans
organized the event and developed a website to get community members involved. The
website stated the purpose of the
protest was to let people know,
"enough is enough, we are tired
of Michael Moore's rhetoric and
we are going to stand up against
him and support our Government, President, capitalism,
troops, and foreign policy."
The protesters came from
all over San Diego County to
express their disapproval of this
stop of Moore's "Slacker Uprising Tour." They held signs,
some of which read "hippies
go home, honk for bush, no flip
flops in the white house, and no
'Moore' lies." Some protesters
also chanted "4 more years" at
passing motorists.
College Republicans Nick
Bonomi and Ashley Stuart lightened the mood of the demonstration by dressing as President
Bush and as a GOP elephant
respectively.
"We're focusing on keeping
positive," said Eileen Liston,
external vice chair of the Col-
An unexpected downpour Monday
morning could not prevent the Graduate and Professional School Fair
from going on as planned.
"We didn't expect the rain," said
Susan Buck-Allen from Career and
Transfer Student Services, coordinator of the fair. "So far, everything
has worked out great."
The Director of Career and Transfer Services Sandy Punch was
pleased with the turnout and the
quick improvisation.
"We had a mad rush to bring
tables in from the rain," said Punch.
The booths that were set up in the
Kellogg Library Terrace area had
to be moved under the cover of the
library's overhang.
The fair can not be rescheduled
because it is part of a circuit that
travels to other college campuses.
"We have no choice of the date,"
said Punch. "We were lucky we got
in (the circuit) early."
The fair is held once a year in the
fall. It includes representatives from
different graduate schools as well as
a workshop for students to hopes to
remove some of the mystique of post
baccalaureate education.
"The workshop helps in dispelling the myths of grad school," said
Punch. Other topics at the workshop included how to apply to grad
school, financial aid and the experience of being a first generation grad
student.
Schools from as far away as New
York and Australia were represented
at the fair.
"Australian universities offer
many of the same programs as U.S.
schools," said Eddy Dharmadji of
Macquarie University near Sydney.
"And of course, there isfinancialaid
available."
Despite the inclement weather,
more than half of the 65 schools
expected to attend were present.

�Students
discuss
debate
BY SARAH COLESON
Pride Staff Writer
Around 25 students assembled
in Clark Field House on Wednesday, October 13 to watch President
George W. Bush and Senator John
Kerry put forward their positions on
Social Security, immigration, minimum wage law and the war in Iraq
at the final presidential debate.
While watching the candidates,
the student panelists, Democrats
and Republicans alike, jotted down
notes to prepare themselves for the
discussion that followed. A student
panel consisting of three Bush supporters (Nick Bonomi, Stephen
Puetz and Matthew Curren) as well
as three panelists who supported
Kerry (Didi Lund, Dustin Lacasse
and John Baden) talked about key
issues regarding the presidential
election. Dr. Scott Greenwood, a
professor of political science on
campus, acted as moderator of the
panel.
Each member was allocated four
minutes to share their reaction to
the debate, their favorite debate
moments as well as key issues that
they felt were absent from the candidates' statements.
"The only time President Bush
mentioned women in his speech, it
was in reference to their reproductive organs," s^id Lund, president of
the Women's Studies Student Association Didi Lund.
Lund raised other key women's
issues that she felt were overlooked
in the debate.
"When you look at the debate, John
Kerry's policies are very appealing," said Bonomi, executive director of College Republicans. Bonomi
also shared his personal experiences
watching Kerry campaign in person
months before and pointed out what
he saw as a change in the senators'
stance on key issues. He went on to
say that some of Kerry's actual proposals were "180 degrees opposite"
of what he stated in the debate.
After the panelists made their
statements, Greenwood opened the
floor for questions from the audience. Issues such as abortion, gay
marriage, and separation of church
and state were brought up by students and panel members responded
to the audience questions.
"If the reason for denying gay
people the right to get married is
to protect the sanctity of marriage,
then why don't we have a limit on
the number of divorces a person
can have?" said Baden, president of
the University Foreign Aid Organization, in response to a question
from an audience member regarding
President Bush's proposal of a constitutional amendment to prohibit
gay marriage.
The discussion that ensued was
indicative of the divided partisan
affiliations of the panel members.
Despite the partisan wrangling, the
ultimate goal of the evening was to
give students the chance to actively
engage in a dialogue regarding
political issues with their peers.
EVENT, from page 1
"What started out as a negative situation, really turned into an overwhelmingly
positive experience" said Yamout about the
attempted cancellation of the event. "I've
been at Cal State San Marcos for almost four
years now and I'll tell you I've never seen the
students more excited and more invigorated
by any issue ever. Conservatives, liberals
everybody in between has been so riled up
the past few weeks, and it's been inspiring
to me, and it's been inspiring to the community."
Yamout thanked donors Herring Broadcasting and Mr. and Mrs. Joe Fernandez for
their financial contributions, then let Moore
take the stage.
"I know it's been a rough road for the students," said Moore. "The whole thing was
set up and because of pressure on the administration (of CSUSM) our right to speak and
your right to listen was taken from us."
Moore remarked how the original plan
was for a small event of 1200-1500 people.
Crediting what he called the "Republican,
conservative attitude of trying to prohibit
free speech in San Diego County," the event
grew almost ten times.
"I think we need to do something else here
so that the administration of Cal State San
Marcos never ever even thinks of doing this
again to any speaker of any political party,"
said Moore.
Moore announced that the proceeds of the
event would go toward a scholarship/grant
program at Cal State San Marcos.
"Each year for the next four years we will
hand out a $5,000
grant or scholarship
to the one student who
has fought and stood
up the most to the
administration of Cal
State San Marcos,"
said Moore. Moore
said that students

Morello took the stage and rallied the crowd
students for the scholarship/grant by submitting a one page essay about "just how much with statements in favor of peace, human

Morello also sang a song called "House
cessful they were."
In his speech Moore joked with the crowd Gone Up in Flames" about citizen inaction
as he spewed harsh criticisms of Presi- over poor governmental policy.
Michael Moore read several letters from
dent Bush, the war in Iraq, censorship and
CSUSM President Karen Haynes. He said soldiers in Iraq who were disillusioned by the

PROTEST, from page 1
Republicans. "Michael Moore is picking
slackers because they are not going to be the
ones who educate themselves."
The motorists in the area were just as
divided as the protesters and the Moore supporters.
Horns honked frequently in support while
other cars held up signs supporting Kerry
or middle fingers. When people yelled at
the protestors, several would respond with
"Bush hater!"
One woman motorist at a red light was
clearly unhappy with the protest. She stuck
her arm out the window and displayed her
middle finger to the protestors. As the
woman waited for the light, she sat there with
herfingerup glaring at the protestors. When
a protestor in the crosswalk approached her
car, she put her car in reverse, and drove
right at him. The man quickly jumped out of
the way and was not harmed.

Michael Moore protesters rally outside of the Del Mar Fairgrounds
Unusually long traffic lights made for a
lengthy wait at the crosswalks, forcing those
who parked off site to deal with the protestors. This gave both sides a chance to voice
their opinions face to face. At times things
became heated but never amounted to any-
thing more than angry words.
"I felt a little uncomfortable, it was weird
being in the middle of a protest, but everyone
was being really nice," said CSUSM senior
DanaEricson.

Students pay $75 a semester to Student Health Services (SHS),
but many students don't know what services are included for
their money.
In addition to the general medical services, vaccinations and
pharmacy, student health services now o ffers counseling.
The counseling department helps about 350 students a semester, that's about 5 percent of the CSUSM student body. The counseling center helps students deal with issues of stress, depression, relationship issues as well as roommate issues j ust to name
a few.
Currently, the counseling staff is relatively small. It consists of
two fulltime psychologists and three Ph.D. level interns.
"Counseling is certainly an area were looking to expand, as

purses are a must have and can be found
everywhere. Metallic bags especially
gold are also the hot item of this season.
Now with your bag, you need the perfect pumps to match.
The best pump will be anything sweet
and chic. Pumps adorned with a prim
bow, embellished with f ur, snake skin or
bejeweled with a brooch are all sizzling
attributes to your fabulous shoes.
Jackets are an important item for fall's
chilly weather. Be sure to pick the right
ones. Your jacket should be elegant tweed,
one with showy sequins or trimmed with
f ur. Fur is in but don't worry you don't
have to kill a bunny to snatch the look.
Faux far works great as well.
Remember, these jackets are versatile;
pair the jacket up with a matching skirt,
jeans, over a sexy frock or with cropped
pants. Let the special piece (your jacket)
stand out by keeping the accessories
simple in this case.
As for men, this year's fall fashion
is sporty yet classy and old school yet
fresh.
Vintage inspired items f rom the 70's
are back again with a whole new twist.
Down vests have been spotted as the
new trend. These vests can be worn over
button down shirts and jackets. They
keep you warm and are comfortable as
well. These down vests are hip in any
color: bright orange, green, yellow, basic
black, brown or khaki will all do.
Argyle sweaters are an essential for
men. The diamonds are everywhere; they
are on crewnecks, cardigans and sweater
vests. Layering one of these is the biggest
style this season.
Pinstriped pants are also the " it"
look. These pants are perfect for casual
or formal occasions. Don't be afraid to
pair up the pin-stripe pants with f unky
striped shirts and argyle sweaters. Navy
and gray, gray and brown, or brown and
orange are all worthy color combinations
when it comes to pinstriped pants.
This fall's fashion for men and women

be classified as challenges, can't they?
Academically speaking, numbers are my
kryptonite. The bright-eyed spitfire I typically can be will suddenly morph into a
sweating, babbling mess as I struggle to
carry an invisible number that doesn't even
go there. Though, I did meet that challenge
and pass college math, never to return to
it again.
I've been a mediocre student all of my
life. I never minded this fact nor did I envy
the students who did the whole "inquisitive youngster" routine. A fter all, I was
busy trying to pry the remote control out
of my brother's hand. And while the overachieving science students got ribbons for
watching a potato grow sprouts, I wrote
love poems to various crushes, made f un
of teachers with chalk on their bums, and
practiced my Oscar acceptance speech in
the bathroom mirror. I never made honor
roll, and it's been decided that I shan't
make the Dean's list.
Upon this revelation, I made myself comfortable. For it was here, in this middle of
nowhere as a student, that I would become
perfect. It's here, in the plush cushioning
of mediocrity, where I will strive. Perhaps
"striving" for a C sounds ludicrous, and it
is. That's because I don't mean to strive for
a C. My aim is to idle towards one; meander about the university, and let a C attach
itself to my student body.
Jenny Foster, a communications major,
says that her parents think she's an excellent student. When I asked her if she
really was, she looked at me as if I was
a giant talking shoe. "No way" she said.
Although Jenny says she's not the greatest of students, she is in fact graduating
this year. My pool of mediocrity is getting
crowded.
There are those students, however, that
were most likely the potato sprout watchers. Over the summer, I took Spanish 201
with a liberal arts major. During a test, she
began to hyperventilate, claw at her face
and desk, whimper and finally vomit a
little bit in her mouth. Afterwards, when
I asked her why, she simply said, " I am an
A student. I'm just not good at Spanish. I
have to pass." The sunshine that I chose
to dispense? "Dude, all you need is a C !"
A fter which I extended my right hand for
the underachiever hi-five.
You see if and when I decide to go to
class, I sit in the back. I eat my banana,
and I am the first to ask one of three key
phrases that epitomizes the mediocrity of
my studiousness: "Is there anything due?"
"What did we do?" and "Is there anything
new?" These are imperative questions to
ensure that my position as a perfect mediocre student will not change. Right down
the middle, kids.
I'm not saying college is easy, or that
it should be, mind you. What I am saying
is that although I should, I simply do not
apply myself. I do indeed have potential
for straight A's, but meeting my potential
for straight A's, why, that's a challenge,
isn't it? If I go and do that, it would blow
my perfecting mediocrity theory. I would
then be excelling at academics and the bar
would be raised. I'd meet that, and then the

bar would rise yet again. Before you know
it, I'd be in the Olympics or the next Bobby
Fisher, playing chess and showing off my
great big brain. No thank you, I've got my
special skill. Since floating, coasting, or
gliding through college can be a skill if
done correctly, the challenge of teetering
just right, between the "real" world and
the college life is like an art. I'm almost
a geisha.

wants you to believe that focusing on terrorism is fear-mongering on the part of the right, but
that denies the ongoing impact of
9/11 on our lives; I'm not afraid
of being killed by a terrorist, but
I am concerned about what will
happen to our nation if al-Qaida
is successful again. Like it or
not capitalism depends entirely
on people making and spending
money. So if nobody's making
money because we stop taking
vacations, buying new cars, getting raises, going to the movies,
investing
in
infrastructure,
and the zillion other capitalist
activities that slowed or stopped
because of 9/11, then America
fails to thrive, and that means
fewer of those wonderful entitlement programs my left-leaning
comrades are so fond of, less aid
to other countries, and so on. It's
a downward spiral we can't afford
to see repeated any time soon.
So weigh your facts. Get
informed. Listen to what everybody has to say. Read between
the lines. But don't let anybody
make your choices for you; you
wouldn't want me or Michael
Moore or your professors telling
you what to eat, so b e as fiercely
independent about how you're

But, the payments of chafe
and malnutrition will be worth
the discomfort If this paper stops
playing with t he Moore issue
like a pubescent boy plays with
his,..column. Coming off the
'Letters to t he Editor' last week
was a kindred spirit of cynicism,
accusation, and Pride criticism.
Carmelino C ruz wrote, "For
the last weeks it seems that ail
you [the Pride] write about is
Michael Moore." Then adds,
"I want to know who makes the
decision on what t o write."
Well Carmelino, let's prick
and pry t he Pride. Shall we?
On Tuesday nights t he collection of writers we call staffers,
get together with t he heads-incharge (editors) and stories are
divvied out amongst the crowd.
Most are suggested by the heads,
but writers are encouraged to
toss up a couple of cookies as
w ell Writers volunteer for the
choices offered, or succumb to
the pleas of the editors. And
if that doesn't work, they loop

In this democratic oligarchy

A few, like Josh and I, do regular columns (m case you missed
t he obvious). You can spot these
by the grinning mug shots. A nd
j ust between you and me, I suspect our faces are there so disgruntled readers can corner us
in a dark alley. Which is why I
don't look a damn thing like my
mug.
-WHISPER MODE - ON:
T m actually a n obnoxious, tall,
blonde dude, with a Vanilla Ice
haircut, who doesn't smoke.' WHISPER MODE - OFF.
Now, you should know kindred spirits of cynicism, that
our writers are not paid for their
troubles; they have jobs and
classes to attend, and some even
claim to have families. If that
weren't enough, the time budget
they're usually given for the stories is two, maybe three days.
My colon takes longer to pass
an apple.
So for all my harsh wit on
their articles, I always stand i n
amazement that our staffers get
their no-wage j obs done at all,
(Don't tell 'em I said that.)
While on the subject of harsh
wit, our Mr, Milo w as lambasted
by Mr. Bryan Watkins for his
article on the d raft b ill
But before you get his words,
you get mine.
I don't know who did the
description under the front-page
picture of f uture Devil-Dogs
taking the oath, but a Rear Admiral wears a Squid's uniform, less
things have changed since I was
in. Also, please be sure my past
fellow E-Club drinking buddies
have their service spelt Corps,
not Core. I think going through
the hardest of boots and volunteering to be a "bullet-dodger"
deserves at least a proper spell
check. If that's not incentive
enough, keep in mind these few
and proud are trained to shoot
and 'blow *@#$ u p/ J ust an
observation.
Now, onto Mr. Watkins'
words. Bryan writes, "This
article is riddled with misinformation that if taken for face
value can undermine the legislative process as well as confuse
the students of California State
University San M arcos/' Well,
I'd hate to think the Pride might
"confuse the students," and we
definitely don't want the Pride to
"undermine the legislative pro-
cess," Whatever shall we do?
I comply with Mr. Watkins
final point in his letter, " I strongly
urge you to research your facts
before printing t hem" To say
the least, duh! On h is point
about the confusion and undermining that might take place, I
think both Mr, Watkins' letter
and Mr. Milo's article share the
same probs.
There seems to b e a hint of
' false dilemma' and an itty-bitty
bit of assumptions phrased as
facts. Having read Mr. Milo's
article, I realized that " Draft legislation alive in senate" was as
misleading a header, as 'athletic
build' tends to be in Personals.
By the conclusion of the article
my worries concerning a draft
were put to rest by all the quotes
that suggested otherwise. I get
the same catharsis, when I get to
the ass-end of TV news and find
that the 'thing I don't know that
might kill me,' has the same odds
as m y winning an argument with
my better half.
I agree the use of such sensationalistic journalism leaves
a NutraSweet taste on my palette. The Pride should avoid
those 'read this or s uffer' headers. On the other hand, I doubt
anyone would have read ' Draft
legislation a possible, maybe,
not really, well sorta something
they're not really thinking about
in senate.'
Mr. Milo did start his article
o ff with all the icing, but after
chewing upon it, I discovered it
was a fruitcake. Same goes for
Mr. Watkins. " Confuse the students," and "undermine the legislative process" are empty calories to swallow. As for facts, the
d raft bill is a dead horse, and Ms.
Milo (the addressee of Mr. Watkins' letter) pees standing up.
Actually, I 'm assuming the p ee
thing. But if my facts are wrong,
'Ms. Milo' should consider work
as a bearded lady.
A nd that concludes this f un
filled lambaste upon lambasting.
Don't forget to vote if you're
able.
There it is.
I just collected my civic duty
karma point for the day.

Dropping off the kids
Bathroom manners do count
BY POLLY
CHAROENKWANCHAI
Pride Staff Writer
Have
you
ever
"dropped off
the kids?"
Or made a
"deposit to
the b ank?"
Have
you
built any log cabins lately? Perhaps you aren't well versed in
bathroom euphemisms, but these
events usually occur because of
bad Chinese food or an unwise
choice to have ice cream and
Cheetos for lunch. Whatever the
case may be, people like me usually find it difficult to use public
bathrooms.
I am an occasional germaphobe
with performance anxiety. (Note
to self: Must sanitize hands with
anti-bacterial soap a fter using the
computer lab.)
Due to my heightened fear of
dirt and all things dirty, I take the
necessary precautions to ensure
that my adventures in the public
restrooms are as clean and safe as
possible. Yes, I admit it: I triple
seat for maximum coverage. I am
confident with the idea that no
germs are penetrating through
the fortress of seat covers so that I
am allowed to do my duty (no pun
intended) with peace of mind. I do
provide one warning when dealing with multiple covers: It takes
more than one flush to get those
suckers down. This might cause
your fellow bathroom enthusiasts
to wonder why you've flushed so
many times and what you ate to
create such a flurry of flushes.
The automatic toilets we have
on campus are terrific for people
like me, if they only served to
work when we needed them to.
For instance, it is unpleasant
to be the victim of a "drive-by
flushing." This type of crime i s
committed when the bathroom
patron is not quite done with
business, but becomes momen-

covers
tarily disrupted by automatic
and unwanted flushing. There is
also the "delayed flushing" which
occurs when the patron waits for
10 seconds or more before the
toilet realizes that it must now
dispose its contents. I suggest
people use this time to reflect.
These events must not be misconstrued with the "random flushing." This happens when there
are many people in the restroom
(perhaps people who will recognize you later in the day). As
the name suggests, many people
produce a random and spontaneous flush in order to distract other
people from any turbulent sounds
coming f rom your direction. This
is detectable when the number of
flushes being produced is higher
than the amount of people in the
bathroom.
Lastly, there is the "conditional flushing." This takes the
most amount of mental commitment and is not recommended for
emergency situations. The conditional flushes are based on the
experiments of Pavlov and his
salivating dogs. It requires that
you do your business in sync with
other flushing toilets as to mask
the thunderous noise you have
produced. This move takes careful planning and coordination by
listening for the sound of people
entering the restroom as well as
timing your "main event."
These techniques apply under
the assumption that y our "kids"
are going to be loud, if you catch
what I mean. They also imply
that you are suffering f rom
stage fright. For people who
are hounded by this everyday
dilemma, I suggest that you:
1. Change your diet
2. Learn which bathrooms
carry the least traffic flow (hint:
there's one that's virtually unused
in the
ACD building)
3. Accept that Mother Nature is
a loud force of wind (last of the
puns) that's just meant to be
heard.
If all else fails, just prairie-dog
it.

T HE PRIDE
Dear Editor,
I 'm writing this
letter to let my fellow
students know about a
bad experience I had at
a College Republicans/
Progressive Activists
Network screening of
the last presidential
debate. After the debate
a pre-chosen panel of six
student speakers from
both sides (republicans
and democrats/liberals)
were allowed four minutes
each to speak about what
they thought about the
performance of their
particular candidate. As
each student took his/
her turn, one republican
mentioned that he was
disappointed that the
audience turn out wasn't
as good as they had hoped.
There were about 20
students in the audience
and many were friends
or club members of the
student panel. After all of
the panel members finished
their time to speak, the
discussion was opened
to the audience. After
the first topic was ended,
I brought up a topic that
is very important to me.
I directed my question
to the republican panel
members. As I was
exchanging ideas with one
panel member, another
member was huffing and
puffing, shaking his head
in disagreement, and even
decided to laugh at me
while I was talking. He
then took the microphone
and began voicing his
ideas. As the discussion
continued, I mentioned
reading some information
from a book required
for my Mass Media and
Society class with Professor
FrediAvalos. This panel
member arrogantly stated
that the book was written
by communist and that it
should be ignored. After
he mentioned that, his
College Republican friends
began attacking the book
also. The republicans then
began attacking my ideas
in a four-on-one fashion.
I had also mentioned that
the arrogant panel member
should tell Professor
Avalos that the book was
written by communist and
he arrogantly replied that
he would tell her. One of
his republican friends had
also mentioned that the
book had no references,
which is completely false
(I will be glad to provide
the book information to
anyone interested). After
a few more minutes of
republicans against me, the
mediator inteijected and
stated that we should not
discuss one issue for too
long and also corrected the
arrogant panel member as
he made false accusations
during his speaking on the
issue. It turns out that he
didn't know as much about
the topic as he thought he
did! I was so surprised
that my thoughts and
ideas on that topic were
treated so aggressively. I
always assumed that in
a democracy it is vital
to exchange ideas in a
respectful manner. In
order to understand the
issues we must hear both
sides and it seems to me
that the republicans are
only interested in their
side. How an arrogant,
self righteous student
was chosen for a panel is
beyond me. Not to mention
that I am sure that I will
never attend any forums
by these groups ever again.
I think that the reason so
few students attend these
meetings might be because
of the undemocratic
environment and I will be
sure to recommend NOT
going to these forums
for that reason. I would
like to say that the other
panel members did a good
job and did treat me with
respect. But it only takes
a few to ruin the fun. I am
in no way angry at anyone
for not agreeing with me.
It's when people begin
talking down to me that the
problem arises. So students
beware, if you don't agree
with the norm at one of
these functions, you may
be in for a "republicans vs.
you" battle?!
Claude Sayf
Senior, Communications
Major
Letter to the Editor:
This week students will
vote on a referendum
concerning the Early
Learning Center (ELC), the
childcare facility owned
by our student government
(ASI). So far, the ASI
has supplied one-sided
information for funding
concerning the issue.
Student leaders have not
presented their constituents
with the data necessary for
making sound decisions
on this important issue.
We see posters hanging
prominently in ASI office
windows and prominent
displays occupying the
center tables at the Dome
with sales pitches for
funding the center.
Why don't student
government leaders present
honest information? Over
the years, the student body
has subsidized the ELC
with losses totaling about
a million dollars (Student
leaders have never released
exact figures). Now we're
being asked to increase our
student fees by $10 to make
up for projected shortages.
That adds up to over
$140,000 annually.
The ASI's and The Pride
both championed Michael
Moore's recent appearance
as a victory of free speech.
But Moore's message was
more than just to speak
freely—it was to question
that which doesn't make
sense. Yet The Pride ran a
story stating that the ELC
would make 97 % of its
costs through sources other
than student fees. What is
the ELC's total operating
budget if the student body's
$140,000 is only 3% of its
funding?
I am not arguing
against childcare, I am
arguing against our
student government
representatives' failure
to keep their constituents
informed. The 48
students who benefit from
subsidized childcare every
semester are certainly
deserving, but their
fellow students are just as
deserving and at the very
least, we deserve the right
to be properly informed
about voting issues. It's
conceivable that one of
us might come up with an
alternative to the ASI's
current all or nothing
proposal.
Steve Compian
Graduate Student
Dear Editor,
I 'm sure you all know but
in case you don't October
18th-21st are the dates
for the voting for the
Childcare Services Fee
Referendum to keep the
Early Learning Center
open. The Early Learning
Center is CSUSM's answer
for childcare for student
parents.
I know there are many of
you out there who would
like to vote no because
you don't want to pay for
something you are not
going to use. I understand
that, however many of us
pay for fees here we don't
use, books we don't read,
a parking structure we
will never see. This ten
dollars is at least going
to a humanitarian cause:
the education of children.
The Early Learning Center
enables many parents the
ability to continue their
education to provide a
better life for their children,
provides childcare to
CSUSM faculty & the
community, as well as
provides internships,
employment opportunities
and more. It is a wonderful
program. As you could
guess, I am a student
parent; my daughter
Madison age three has
attended the "school" as
she calls it, for a little over
a year and she loves it. In
that time, she has become
potty trained, learned to
ride a tricycle, can count
to twenty, is recognizing
numbers, is learning to
write her name, and is
learning valuable social
skills. She would have met
these milestones eventually
but I know that they have
been met sooner and with
more understanding with
the love and support of
the ELC staff behind her. I
really hope students realize
that this is not about ten
more little dollars (it's only
two or three Starbucks©),
but it's about the big
picture and as^cheesy as it
sounds, children are our
future.
The children who attend
the center might be only
between the ages of 2
and 5 but they still care
about their school. If the
vote doesn't pass the ELC
will be forced to close its
doors. How awful would
that be for this to be these
children's first educational
experience; a school they
have been so comfortable
in and have grown to
love being closed because
CSUSM couldn't fit it in
their budget. Please do
the right thing for these
children, please protect
their school, please protect
their teacher's jobs, please
vote yes and encourage
others to do so.

�M O S D e f : The New Danger
BY JASON ENCABO "TheNew Danger"
Pride Staff Writer
is now among u s and
Mos Def is most
definitely bringing
something new t o
the table. Maintaining his success as a
rapper/actor, Mos
Def has been featured in numerous films ("Italian Job"),
music videos (Alicia Keys — "You Don't
Know My Name") and of course songs
(Kanye West - "Two Words"), leaving fans
without a solo album since his 2002 release
of "Black On Both Sides." Mos Def now
re-enters the hip hop scene with a highly
anticipated new album.
Throughout "The New Danger," Mos Def
experiments with a mixture of elements of
rock, soul and certainly hip hop. He combines these elements to deliver the tradi-
What
Ü
tional Mos Def style, along with a new sense
of maturity. He often breaks the conventional pattern of verses and choruses placed
throughout a song and formulates a songstructure of his own. I had trouble determining if some songs were actually songs,
or if they were j ust long instrumentals or
interludes. But after listening to the album
in its entirety, I couldn't help but love it.
"The New Danger" provides a very diverse
assortment of songs, satisfying listeners of
many genres. This album also thoroughly
addresses the live aspect of music, bringing together a sound resembling artists like
The Roots and Rage Against The Machine,
all while maintaining the true sound of hip
hop. Mos Def produced the album with
help f rom Kanye West and several others
to resemble various styles of music. "The
New Danger" is for the open-minded, I definitely recommend it.

mind), but is for anyone interested in broadening their world
view beyond that of "socialist
weasel" Michael Moore (hey,
I'm just quoting the film here,
don't get your thong in a bunch
and start firing off emails to the
ombudsman). But more to the
point, this film is for anyone
who pees their pants at watching gratuitous puppet vomiting,
gratuitous violence by puppets
on puppets, puppets speaking
fake Arabic that sounds like your
8year old nephew talking gibberish and a puppet sex scene
that will send you rolling in the
aisle (while peeing your pants)
if you ever participated in that
quintessentially American childhood experience of manipulating Barbie and G. I. Joe to make
sweet sweet love.
"Team America: World Police"
is about a super-patriotic, elite

Martin Sheen, Sean Penn, et al.,
(just in case you missed Parker
and Stone's 2001 sitcom "That's
My Bush!"), but as usual they
don't let our side of the aisle off
the hook, either: Team America
goes after it's objectives without a
twinge of remorse over collateral
damage (though trust me, you'll
be laughing at that, too), and the
voice of I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E.
- a supercomputer that provides
the team its information - is provided by none other than multiple-personality radio comedian
Phil Hendrie (KFI-AM 640,
weeknights 7-10 p.m., if you're
not in oirthe joke, you're part of
it, so listen in sometime).
The choice to use puppets is
brilliant: you can do things with
a puppet (or more properly, a
marionette) that just wouldn't

an odd twist of fate, the puppets

me to find fault with this genius
piece of work, I would probably
pick on the soundtrack: I played
the "South Park: Bigger, Longer,

for at least a year after that film
debuted, and my friends and I
still break out in a nice rendition
of "Uncle F**ka," "Kyle's Mom's
a B**ch," or "It's
Easy, MMMkay"
every now and
then.
Theatergoers left this film
singing the anthem
"America, F**k Yeah,"
and the soundtrack definitely works, but "Team

no musical (and I loves a good
musical).

The Early Learning Center (ELC) will continue to offer services to students, staff, faculty,
and the community after 464 students voted in
favor to keep the center open.
A total of 565 students voted in last week's
referendum, the ELC passed received 82 percent of the vote on Thursday, October 21. The
referendum ensures that the ELC will get student funding to remain in business.
In the past, ASI has provided the means to
keep the facility operating, but budget cuts for
ASI resulted in the necessity of student contributions to keep the facility open. Students who
voted online from October 18-21 decided that
an additional $10 should be added to enrollment fees tofinancethe ELC.
According to Roy Lee, ASI VP of Communications, the annual budget for the ELC
is about $300,000. Beginning in the spring of
2005, the collection from students will total
^bout $144,000, and the fees for the parents
of the children attending the ELC will pay the

debates ballot
propositions
BY DANIEL LOWE
Pride Staff Writer
More than 100 students gathered in the
Clarke Field house on Thursday, October 21
to watch and engage in a debate addressing
four of the ballot propositions up for consideration on November 2.
The four propositions discussed were state
Propositions 66, 70,71, and local Proposition
B.
There were eight panelists, one for both
sides of each issue. Panelists consisted of
CSUSM students, professors, and members
of the community.
President Haynes, ASI, and the Academic
Senate sponsored the event.
Students enjoyed the free food that was
provided during the debate, but many began
to leave for classes as the event continued.
By the end of the event there were only about
20 people who remained in attendance.
The first debate was over state Proposition
66. Proposition 66 would amend the California Three Strikes Initiative that was passed
by voters in 1994.
Professor Valerie Callahan argued in favor
of the proposition.
Callahan urged voters to approve the
changes to the Three Strikes Statute contained in Prop. 66.

Business building
celebrated
5 million dollar pledge announced to go
towards College of Business Administration
BY HEATHER HOFFMANN
Pride Staff Writer
Students, administration and
community members came
together for a beam signing ceremony hosted by the College
of Business Administration to
sign their name and leave their
mark on campus.
Approximately 170 people
gathered in Academic Hall
room 102 on Wednesday, October 20 to celebrate the construction of the business building set
to open in the spring 2006.
"This is an exciting event.
A milestone has been reached
and it's time to celebrate," said
Cal State San Marcos President
Karen Haynes.
After listening to speeches
by University President Karen
Haynes, Dean of the College
of Business, Dennis Guseman,
and others who made the building possible, attendees had
the opportunity to sign a steel
beam that will be placed in the
building.
At the event it was announced
that a yet-to-be-named donor
came forward with 5 million
dollars to name the building,
which is the largest gift received
by CSUSM for a single project.
The name of the building is set
to be announced this week.

The ELC is not only a childcare
center and a place for children to
begin learning basic lessons at an
early age, it is also a place that
employs students and provides
internship opportunities.
"We are an essential service
for students, students utilize the
center that are not student parents," said Mosetta RodriguesCoppedge, site supervisor of the
ELC. "The majority of the children here are children of CSUSM
students."
Hilary Gross-Richmond, a
senior at CSUSM, is fulfilling
her internship requirement at the
ELC by helping the preschool
class three days a week. GrossRichmond feels that the passing
of the referendum is "a wonderful thing."
"It's the reward of knowing
that once you have taught them
something or read them a story,
they appreciate it and come back
for more. It's the reward of their
smile," said Gross-Richmond
describing her favorite part about
working with the children at the
ELC.
Currently, the state of California does not require that children
attend preschool before enrolling
in Kindergarten, but many Kindergarten programs expect children to have a basic understanding of letters and numbers before

DEBATE, from page 1
campus
BY KATIE POWERS
Pride Staff Writer
Last week Students took little
notice of For Him Magazine's
visit to campus as rain filled the
sky.
For Him Magazine (FHM) set
up a booth in front of the Kellogg
Library with video games and
promotional giveaways on Tuesday, October 19. At 8:00 p.m. in
Arts 240, Associated Students,
Inc. (ASI) and FHM sponsored
the appearance of comedian
Christian Finnegan.
Finaegan cracked up the small
audience that attended the show.
The comic captured the audience's attention by almost "tea
bagging" them. Next he moved
on to relationship philosophy.
"Relationships are like yard
sales, they look really f un from
100 feet away, but when you get
close you realize it's a bunch
of shit you don't need," joked
Finnegan
Finnegan cracked jokes for
the rest of the hour long show on
everything from his "fat-tax" to
the Olympics to the upcoming
election.
The audience seemed to enjoy
Finnegan's wit and slightly
twisted sense of humor.
"It was tight! More people
should have come, they missed
out," said student Angela Jenkins
Photo by Chezare Milo / The Pride
Christian Finnegan performs.
People at the event speculated
as to why only 24 people showed
up for the comedy performance.
Most explanations for lack of
attendance focused around the
weather.
"It sucks it was on a Tuesday,
let alone a rainy Tuesday," said
Eric Groset, director of social
programming for ASI.
Angela Jenkins thought the
small audience was partially due
to the lack of publicity for this
event.
"I just heard about it today, I
picked up aflyerbut it didn't have
a date on it," said Jenkins.
When all was said and done
those that attended the show left
with a smile on their faces and
sore sides.
Christian Finnegan left San
Marcos with sore legs and a smile
as well.
"There's lots of stairs. That's
brutal, it's brutal here, but it's
been great. I hope I can come
back at a later date when it's
sunny," said Finnegan.
Christian Finnegan can be
seen every Friday at 11:00 p.m.
on VHl's new series Best Week
Ever as well as in his occasional
appearances on the Chappelle
Show on Comedy Central.
lent," said Callahan about the
proposition. She stated that
Proposition 66 would narrow the
definition of serious or violent
crimes to exclude petty crimes
such as burglary or attempted
burglary.
Callahan said because of the
three strikes law California has
the "highest prisoner population
in the nation."
CSUSM student Stephen
Keller, argued against Proposition 66.
"It punishes people with no
respect for the law," said Keller
about current three strikes law.
Keller said that the current law
doesn't need to be changed and
is "riot targeting petty crimes."
The second debate addressed
state Proposition 70. Proposition 70 would enact a tax of 8.84
percent on the net revenue of
gaming.
Community member David
Lent argued in favor of the
proposition.
"It's time the tribes stepped
up to the plate," said Lent. Lent
urged voters to vote "yes" on
Proposition 70 because, "it
would bring two billion dollars
to the table for all of California."
Community member and
Native American, David Whitehorse argued against Proposition 70.
"It creates a 99-year monopoly," said Whitehorse about
Proposition 70. He said that
Proposition 70 "does not bring
sovereignty or a fair share," for

The next debate focused on
state Proposition 71. Proposition 71 would provide state
funding for stem cell research.
Dayleen Coleman, a human
development major, argued in
favor of the proposition.
"Stem cell research is the best
chance to cure many different
diseases. The new cures could
affect up to 100 million people,"
said Coleman.
Executive Director of the
CSUSM College Republicans
Nick Bonomi argued against
Proposition 71.
"Those who are going to vote
for religious reasons are going
to vote against Proposition 71,"
said Bonomi.
Asking voters not to approve
the measure because of its' cost
to taxpayers. Bonomi said,
"Prop 71 costs three billion dollars, plus three billion dollars in
interest."
The last debate was over local
Proposition B. Proposition B
would reverse a previous proposition that approved the Gregory
Canyon Landfill.
CSUSM student, Didi Lund,
argued in favor of the proposition.
"The garbage dump is not
needed," said Lund. Stressing
environmental protection as a
reason the Proposition should
pass. Lund said, "The garbage
dump threatens the San Luis
Rey river. It could be polluted."
Political consultant Jennifer
Tierney argued against Proposition B.
"Landfills are needed," said
Tierney asking voters to deny
the proposition. Tierney said,
"Voting 'No' does not necessarily mean that it will be built. It
insures that it will go through
the process."

�Professor Reuben
Professor
Veronique
Anover- Associate
Professor of World
Languages
Country: France
With her ability to speak French,
Spanish, and English, Professor Veronique Anover of the World Languages
Department maintains a very European
lifestyle.
"There's a saying, 'Savoir Vivre' often
used in the United States," Anover said.
"It is the art of knowing how to enjoy
life, to eat a good meal, to enjoy a vacation. One should enjoy life more than so
than simply working."
Yet, living in the United States has
made it a little more difficult trying to
balance both American and European
lifestyles.
Anover, who was born in France, has
spent many years traveling between both
France and Spain attending school as
well as visiting family.
"I am as much French as I am Spanish," Anover said. If her family was in
France, summer vacations were spent in
Spain, and vice versa.
Life was a bit more collective where
the government provided state funded
health benefits as well as six-weeks of
paid vacation for teachers.
Yet, her love for languages drew her
to the United States 14 years ago as she
participated in a non-native speaker of
Mekenye
- Associate
Professor of History
Department
Country: Kenya
English program at the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill. If anything however, she misses her personal
time. "Workaholic is an American
word," Anover said.
According to Anover, the lifestyle
in which Americans live in does not
allow for vacation time. "It's not that we
[Americans] don't want to have a vacation, but it's just that the way society is,
the priorities are different."
As the French Club's advisor, as well as
Associate Professor and Faculty Advisor
for French, Anover shares these words
of advice to those who share a bicultural
experience: Try your best to integrate
into the society that you're embracing
without losing yourself, your roots.
"Life here can be very brutal, a high
stress society as compared to a more
relaxed way of life in Kenya," said
Reuben Mekenye, history professor.
Having been born and raised in Kenya,
Mekenye spent many years on the countryside tending to livestock and cultivating corn, coffee, tea leaves, etc until he
moved to the city to attend college.
As a diligent college student, Mekenye
was expelled for his activities as a student leader tackling various issues such
as national issues to issuing statements
on behalf of the student community
during Kenya's political turmoil.
By that time, he had processed his
papers in Lesotho and was admitted to
both Canada and the United States after
a year.
In 1988, he arrived in San Diego as
a refugee through the sponsorship of a
Catholic church. In a state of culture
shock, Mekenye had difficulty interacting with people and finding his way
around.
Cultural Curners
Diverse professors from different ends of
_____
the spectrum
"You shake hands in Africa," Mekenye said, as he noted that in the United
States greetings are very short and informal. It is customary to have a conversation rather than a simple hello.
After a short six month stay, he was
awarded a scholarship to the University of Wisconsin, which required much
adjustment considering the frigid climate. He longed for the Southern California climate and was later accepted
to the University of California, Los
Angeles, where he happily returned to
a warmer climate. He grew very fond
of the education system as it was more
democratic, unlike the authoritarian
practices of Kenya. "Tests were public
exams given by strangers. We all took it
at once," Mekenye said.
After many years, Reuben Mekenye
still retains what he considers conservative practices of Kenya such as having
respect for the elders. "Listen first, do
more listening then talking," Mekenye
said. "It is expected that the elders are to
command more knowledge."
With his vast sense of knowledge, he
shares, "Be open-minded. Don't forget
where you come from. Your values, you
need to treasure them to keep your background and those values will serve you
well."

�CSUSM golf superstar
All-American golfer with bright future
BY HEATHER HOFFMANN
Pride Staff Writer
Golf isn't just a sport for CSUSM
sophomore Jennell French; it's a way
of life.
Being an All American golfer
doesn't come easy, she practices with
"I eat, sleep, and
think about golf
24/7,"saidFrench.
her team five times a week, attends
yoga twice a week, and weight trains
once a week.
"Playing everyday really makes
an improvement," said French. "I eat,
sleep, and think about golf 24/7."
French has been golfing for ten
years. Her whole family plays golf, so
it was easy for her to fall in love with
the sport. She has dreams of playing in the Ladies Professional Golf
Association (LPGA) like her idol and
former babysitter Leta Lindley, and
will try for her pro-card when she's
finished with college.
"I wouldn't be doing it, if I didn't
love it," French said. "I love golfing
in college because as an individual
you can succeed, but at the same time
you help your team."
French's commitment to golf has
paid off. She placed in the top 15
and earned an All-American title at
the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) tournament
last year as a freshman.
It is early in the season, but French
said she expects "to improve every
year" so golf fans can expect great
things from her this year.
As for the rest of the team, "They
are a young team made up of
mostly freshman and sophomores
and although they are doing great
this year, the team will strengthen
and improve in the years to come,"
French said.
Golf is a spring and fall sport,
unlike other college sports which
usually only play for one semester.
The first tournament of the fall
season was the Grand Canyon Tournament at the end of September. The
team placed fourth out of forty-five
teams and individually French and
her teammate Kyle Safford placed in
the top five.
Golf is one of three intercollegiate
sports supported by CSUSM. It is
part of the National Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA)
'which is like the NCAA for smaller
schools.
The golf team has averaged about
three tournaments a semester; the last
tournament of the fall will take place
November 7-9 at Cal Poly SLO.

Physical education and kinesiology: If you
didn't know, now you know
BY MARIBEL MAYO
Pride Staff Writer
Stress, throbbing headaches
and
sleepless
nights...this
describes
the
average life for a
college student.
On top of
trying to finish
assignments,
doing last minute
revisions, andfindingparking, deciding on
a major is just as stressful. Cal State San
Marcos was once limited on the number
of majors offered, but as a growing university, more and more majors are finding
their way to our campus.
This semester a new major is in the process of becoming official; physical education and kinesiology, the study of the anatomy, physiology and mechanics of body
movement especially in humans.
The physical education and kinesiology
major is intended to prepare students interested in the single subject teaching credential in physical education. The major is targeted to those who are also interested in
pursuing careers in advanced degrees in
physical education, kinesiology, exercise
science, sports medicine, physical therapy
and rehabilitation.
Those who are involved and currently
taking classes are interested in starting a
new club on campus to help build a foun-
dation for the major.
Andre Tungcab, a current kinesiology
student is excited to be in a new major that
is fresh and able to grow. "It's a different class where you're able to see how the
body works," he said.
This semester, there are three official
classes that are being offered, Kine 208,
a hands-on lab class designed to practice
movement in the field house, Kine 300,
which studies the biomechanics of human
movement, and Kine 301, which studies
motor control.
"Being in the major as it develops,
there are certain advantages and disadvantages," said Tungcab. "An advantage to
the program is that the field house has just
opened, and kinesiology is a major that is
open and able to branch off into a lot of differentfields.The disadvantage is that it's a
new program and it's not well known."
This semester, there are currently two
professors teaching the classes: Todd
Astorino and Laura deGhetaldi. Head of
the department is advisor Dr. Nichols.
"The teachers who are running the program are really positive and encouraging,"
Tungcab said, "especially with being oneon-one to guiding us in the right direction."
There has been a lot of positive feedback
from students currently enrolled in these
classes. For those interested in sports and
activities, or for those who come from a
background of sports and share an interest, classes are available and open to all
students and staff here on campus.

Jock Talk With Josh
SPORTS
Tuesday; October 262004
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
I think it's safe to say
that the 86-year old curse
of the Bambino is finally
over for the Boston Red
Sox, right?
The spirit of the Bambino dealt the Sox a blow
in the American League
Championship Series by spotting the Yankees three games. Then in game four and
five with Mariano Rivera on the mound for
the Yankees; the so called best closer in
playoff history ends up taking one to the
groin on consecutive nights as the Red Sox
came back and stole two wins.
Then when the series moved back to
New York for the final two games no one
gave the Sox a shot since after all they were
entering the most sacred of baseball stadiums in the frightening atmosphere of the
Bronx. However, somehow they were able
to put away the Yankees in game six as
Curt Schilling's ankle was literally turning
his white socks into "red sox" as he was
bleeding throughout the whole game due to
a loose tendon being stitched to his skin.
The following night the Sox put the
Yanks away and in doing so they made it to
their first World Series since 1986 to face
the St. Louis Cardinals who are making
their first appearance since 1987.
Then in game one of the World Series the
Bambino tried to literally trip up the Sox
again as Manny Ramirez looked like he
was running on ice in leftfieldas he made
two errors which lead to the Cards tying
the game at nine.
But the Bambino's attempt was about as

successful as a J-lo marriage when Mark
Bellhorn hit a two-run homer in the bottom
of the eighth inning to give the Sox the
win.
The Bambino has been creative in his
attempts to send tears throughout Boston
for an 86th consecutive season, but he has
not been successful yet and do we really
want the Bambino to fail?
Everyone says they want the Red Sox to
win or that they think this is the season for
the Sox since they have dodged all those
previously mentioned bullets from the
Bambino, but deep down I know that no
one really thinks the Sox will win.
I mean if the Sox win the World Series
what will baseball fans have to look forward to next year? It's a tradition that
the Sox are supposed to find a new way
to implode so even though the Bambino
hasn't been successful in his attempts to
this point, you just wait because he will
make an appearance in this World Series
and he won't strike out.

�How to vote
Some tips on voting without
reading the cumbersome
politcal literature
BY PHOENIX LINDGREN
Pride Staff Writer
Congratulations my fellow students who refused to be
intimidated by the mere size and thickness of the California voter registration card. You checked the boxes,
filled in the blanks, and got it in the mail in time to count
yourselves among the elite: students who are registered
to vote!
By now you're receiving an avalanche of junk mail —
'yes on this,' 'no on that,' 'vote for me' — and somewhere
between those slick, four-color, multi-million dollar
efforts to influence your vote are the decidedly unslick
materials the Secretary of State sends that form the backbone of any informed voter's decision-making process: the
Sample Ballot and the Official Voter Information Guide
(and it's trusty assistant, the supplement) ~ approximately
260 pages of reading that makes "Hamlet" seem light and
frothy in comparison.
Don't despair dear voter-to-be, this is not a test; it's
voting. Nobody but the most anal retentive, Mensan
lawyer actually reads every page, and neither will you.
In fact, it's perfectly okay to simply walk into your polling place next Tuesday, get your ballot, and vote only
for President of the United States. Other than deciding
who you're going to pick (and nothing in the Secretary of
State's materials will help you on this one) it's hardly any
work at ail. The only reading requirement will be to read
the back of your Sample Ballot to see where you're polling place is, and then carefully reading the names under
"President of the United States" so you don't pull a Floridian and bubble in the wrong one.
Like it or not, the President is not the only thing you can
vote for that will have an impact on your future: there's a
senator on the ballot this year, an assortment of judges,
college and hospital board members (depending on where
you live), and we can't forget those wonderful proposi-

tions, which often have the potential to take money from
you for years to come.
My strategy for choosing how I'm going to vote is fairly
simple. For the people part of the ballot, I vote for people
I know and like (for example Bush, Boxer, and Cunningham in this election), and either women or Republicans
in positions I don't know anything about (judges, boards,
etc.). On the propositions, I mostly end up analyzing who
has signed the arguments for and against, and that usually
tells me enough about the proposition to make my choice.
The people and groups who sign the proposition arguments all have agendas, so I just look for endorsements
by groups whose agendas match mine (e.g. AAA because
I like to drive, UCAN because I like to consume, Jarvis
Taxpayers because I don't like to pay taxes, and League of
Women Voters because they're really smart and analyze
everything). I realize that I may be revealing myself to be
less informed than my fictitious,
anal retentive,
T he P assion o f M el G ibson
BY ALFRED CHU
Pride Staff Writer
Mel Gibson: the man, the artist, the icon.
Whatever you want to call him, he has ranked
number one on the Forbes annual celebrity
power list of 2004. His total earnings are an
estimated $210 million, mainly from his controversial film "The Passion of the Christ."
First and foremost, I consider Gibson one
of the rare true film artists. He deserves to
be number one. Not like Britney Spears that
ranked number one in the 2002 that can't sing
but only sell T&A. Gibson has the talent and
the vision to make any film a critically memorable multi-million dollar success.
When every mainstream studio and distributor declined to endorse and promote
"The Passion of the Christ," he funded the
estimated $25 million budget himself and
found Newmarket Films to distribute the film
on an independent level. He wasn't about to
trash twelve years of his research. He obviously has generated a lot of profit for the big
studios and it must have been disappointing for him to be shut out in the cold. This is
Hollywood's tragic irony. They send you out
as sheep amidst the wolves. Having seen the
box office results, I'll bet the studio executives are kicking themselves if they haven't
done so already.
"The Passion of the Christ" grossed $370
million in the United States and a little over
$600 million worldwide. It was released on
February 25, 2004 and held the number one
spot for the weekend gross for three consecutive weekends. It re-entered the number one
weekend gross the weekend of Good Friday
(April 9). This is a rarity in Hollywood. It is
also estimated that the film will earn another
$150 million from the DVD sales which will
rank him high in the 2005 power list.
Gibson has mastered every role he has
taken. From the womanizer in "What Women
Want," to the suicidal goofball in the "Lethal
Weapon" series, to the vengeful thief in "Payback," to the slick gambler in "Maverick," to
the faithless widower in "Signs," to the legendary Scottish hero in the brilliant "Braveheart." So it's safe to say he has excelled
every genre of film. Not only that, he developed convincing chemistry with every one of
his leading ladies and other costars.
This opinion wouldn't be complete if I
didn't at least briefly critique "The Passion
of the Christ." Artistically, Gibson takes the
unbiased direction. He's not making the film
to serve or satisfy anyone. Is it historically
accurate? No one can be the judge of that.
Not any religious figure/group or historian.
Many fail to realize that fact. With any film
based on a true story or event, some facts are
purposely excluded and/or changed for entertainment purposes, the reputation of parties'
involved, privacy issues, etc. Given "The Passion of the Christ" as well as "Braveheart"
as an example, the events were told through
many generations and may or may not have
been documented accurately. This is a film,
not a documentary.
So what's going to happen to Gibson now?
Every studio will be drooling and fighting
over his future projects. Gibson has expressed
an interest in making afilmabout the Maccabees and the Jewish faith. He has earned his
place in Hollywood history. He has earned his
place as number one. In the film "Ransom,"
he said "Many people acquire their fortune.
But not me, I built it, from the ground up and
no one is taking it away." This holds true.
Mensan lawyer - or any eighth-grader with a demanding
civics teacher -- but I figure in doing so I may be helping
to free you from the belief that voting is too much work;
like college, it's as much work as you choose to put into
it.
Now nothing, knave voters, is more boring than sitting
alone and reading through all this stuff by yourself, so
get together with some friends, take an hour or two to
go through the ballot, and figure out what choices make
sense for you. Mark up your Sample Ballot and take it
with you to the polls (you wouldn't leave the answer key at
home if you could bring it to the test, would you?) If you
make a mistake while voting, don't be embarrassed, just
ask for another ballot.
Whether you invest the time to figure out all the propositions, or you just want t o cast a vote for president, it's all
good. Be as informed as you have time for, and vote!
Slicing through the
political rhetoric
BY DANIEL LOWE
Pride Staff Writer
Vote! Vote, but don't bother to be
informed. That's right, read this
article and then forget about reading
any more about the elections. Why?
The informed voter is a myth. Politicians themselves don't even know
the issues. How can we as voters
possibly know the issues? Many
key issues are either completely
unsolvable, or are unsolvable by a
normal citizen. Either people just
don't know, or in order to know,
you'd have to spend half your life
researching it.
Let's focus on some of the issues
of the presidential race as an example.
Is the President's plan in Iraq
working?
Kerry again attacks President
Bush by saying in a debate, "I have
laid out a different plan because
the president's plan is not working." Kerry has senators on his side
and Bush has Iraqi officials on his.
Both are experts. Who are we supposed to believe if the experts disagree with each other? It's just one
person's word against another. Are
we supposed to go to Iraq to find out
ourselves?
Does Kerry have more credibility
with other nations than Bush does?
Kerry contends that we need a
new president with fresh credibility.
No foreign nation is going to tell us,
. "ft ? P9*. the war, it's your leader"
No French or Russian president is
going to tell us, "Oh actually I really
dislike Bush as a person, that's why
we're not helping you." This issue
is unsolvable. Even Bush and Kerry
cannot know the answer to this question. How are we supposed to vote
on it?
Fact checking articles such as
CNN's Fact Check are sometimes
helpful, but usually it makes more
of a mess than before. For example,
Bush claims that Kerry has voted
98 times to raise taxes. CNN's Fact
Check clarifies this by saying, "The
number is somewhat inflated because
it includes all votes on a given piece
of legislation, including procedural
votes and votes to end debate." So
is 98 a lot or not? Is there any way
to find out without having to look up
all the different types of procedural
votes and sort them out with Kerry's
voting record? Just tell me if 98 is a
lot or not!
Those are just a few of the issues
in the presidential election. Not to
mention there's congressmen, senators, mayors, city council, many
propositions and other issues to
research. Usually it just becomes a
case of "Who am I going to believe?"
Don't be fooled by all that "informed
voter" hype. It's just another tactic
to get your vote. They want you
to be informed about their side of
the issue. The more you research
an issue, the more you realize that
nobody knows the answer. The more
you know, the more you realize how
much you don't know.

The writers of "The Daily Show with Jon

The book is written as a textbook, the

all were forced to read in public school.
Everything that you thought you knew
about American government—politics,
media and even what will happen in the
future, is outline chapter by chapter.

Talib Kweli:
The Beautiful Struggle
BY JAMARRPATRICK
Pride StaffWriter
Okay let's get this out the way
- GO BUY THIS ALBUM! It's
worth it, trust me.
With that being said, let's discuss the music. It doesn't matter
whether you like hip hop or not.
If you are a fan of music then you
should gravitate towards Talib
Kweli's latest CD: The Beautiful
Struggle. A few months ago the
early version of this album ended
up on the internet and street cor-
ners alike so Kweli went back
to the gym, trained harder* and
came out with a sure fire first
round knockout.
On the opening track "Go
Hard," Kweli does just that.
Rhyming with the tenacity of a
starving pit-bull, you can hear the
hunger in his voice as he drops
more knowledge in one verse
than many of his peers will in
an entire career: "people ask me
how we wearing diamonds/when
there's little kids in Sierra Leone

(
losing arms for crying while
they're mining".
On this offering, Kweli takes
listeners on a great journey of
knowledge, pain, love, politics,
religion, and fun. With assistance from producers, three of
which are well known (The Neptunes, Kanye West, Just Blaze),
Kweli does something that he has
not done before; he simply makes
music that has no limitations on
it. It's not conscious or underground, it's just music.

though Jefferson has been dead for over a

I could give you hundreds of reasons
why you should go buy this book, but
really, all you need to do isfinda copy, flip
through it for just a second, and you will
be sold immediately. If you cannot find
a copy to review and you just don't want
to drive to the local bookstore for nothing, stop by The Pride Office at ACD302A
sometime and take a look at ours!
When you play this album you
will be moved by it. Either your
soul will move by the spiritual
vibes of "Around My Way" or
your arms might move when you
tell someone to "Back Up Offa
Me."
On the albums most inspiring
and greatest track "I Try", Kweli
enlists Mary J. Blige to add the
final punch to one of the best
songs of the year. I won't spoil
the content of the song for you,

song you are missing out.
Kweli also takes time to speak
to the ladies in a positive and
smooth manner (which is uncommon in hip hop these days) on the
songs "We Know" features Faith
Evans, "Black Girl Pain", and
"Never Been In Love".
The only problem spots for the
BK MC are that the album only
clocks in at 53 minutes. Some
might feel this is too short but
others may feel it's just right
because of all the knowledge
that is packed into the 13 songs.
There are two album filler tracks
that could have been replaced.
The club themed "A game" and
the "Planet Rock" influenced
"We Got The Beat" should have
been scrapped for collaborations
with his Black Star partner Mos
Def.
Overall there is no struggle
within this album. The second
word in the title describes what
the album is perfectly: beautiful.

Problems
at IIVA
BY AMANDA JOHNSON
Pride Staff Writer
False alarms, mold, and flooding are a few of the problems the
University Village Apartment
(UVA) residents have faced since
student housing opened last year.
Fire alarms, located in each
apartment near the stove and
restroom, have been the major
disturbance at the UVA. There
have been 65 false alarms since
the beginning of the semester.
"The fire alarms are sensitive,
they have to be, to avoid fires,"
said Brian Dawson, director of
UVA. "They go off more frequently in the beginning of the
year as students have to understand where the sensitivity level
is at."
The maj ority of false alarms on
campus are from cooking. Only
two false alarms this semester
are from something else, one
from steam and one from a blow
dryer.
"The first day I moved in I
made pizza and it set off the
alarm," said resident Robert
Bothmer. "Since then every time
I cook it seems they go off, but I
gotta eat."
Every time an alarm goes off a
police officer is sent to make sure
there isn't a fire and the Resident
Assistant (RA) on call goes to

ASI, Moore decide
to halt ticket sales
to community to
avoid early sellout
BY LINDSAY RIEDEL
Pride Staff Writer
Michael Moore's scheduled
tour stop at the Del Mar Fairgrounds on October 12 has created such an overwhelming
demand for tickets that sales to
non-students have been discontinued until October 7.
Since Wednesday, September
29, distribution of tickets has
been reserved for students, and
each student is allowed only his
or her one free ticket. Any addiJional ticket purchases must be
done when regular ticket sales
resume on Thursday, October 7
at 8:30 a.m.
On the morning of September 29, it was agreed between
Moore's representatives and ASI
that priority would be given to
students in regards to the distribution of tickets.
According to Manal Yamout,
president of ASI, this decision is
due to the fact that on the first day
of sales, 4,000 out of a total of
10,000 tickets were distributed,
and a large majority of those tickets were sold to the community.
ASI and Moore representatives
felt it was necessary to give students priority in the ticket sales
to make sure all students have the
opportunity to get a ticket before
the supply runs out. The tickets
are not limited to CSUSM students but are available to all students with valid identification.
The decision to hold off all sales
has sparked unrest with community members who were told
tickets would be available as of
Tuesday, September 28. Because

As a growing campus, class availability is
an issue for students. The new business building will not necessarily help with the increase

lack of organization immediately
following this decision, the new
policy frustrated potential ticketbuyers.
Professor John Halcon waited
in line for 45 minutes before he
was told that tickets were reserved
for students only.
"There was a sign on the
window but no sign toward the
end of the line. You aren't going
to walk up to the window, then
go to the back of the line," said
Halcon. " I'm irritated, not mad;
I don't know if I'm going to go
now, I don't know if I'll be able
to get in line next week when
they're ready to sell to people."
Shortly after Halcon reported
his experience, ASI displayed
signs at the end of the line.
By creating a time period for
only students to receive tickets,
students are not able to purchase
tickets for family and friends at
the same time.
"I feel it's an unfortunate turn
of events," said John Gehris,
executive vice president of ASI.
"People called yesterday and I
told them to come buy tickets
tomorrow and I feel bad because
it wasn't wrong information then,
but it is n ow"

Concerning Moore's appearance, there are mixed feelings,
but most students are passionate
in their position on the subject.
"I've been raised as a Democrat,
I've read his books and seen his
movies," said Emily Broedling,
senior communications major. "I
know he's one-sided but it's good
to hear that side because you usually only hear the other side,"
Tenzin Peling, first year liberal studies major, also describes
herself as a supporter of Michael
Moore.
"He's voicing his opinion and
that's his right. He's just trying to
open people's eyes," said Peling.
"Everyone will be biased no
matter what; I know it's his opinion and I can either agree or disagree."
Second year student Bryan
Davis feels differently on the
subject.
"Everything (Moore) says is
unbalanced and he takes everything to an extreme," said Davis.
" I'm not supporting him. I feel
he's a threat to national security
by trashing our president."
Mark Wilson, first year business major, feels Moore is deceitful.
"He's trying to sell his view-
point by twisting the facts," said
Wilson.
A large majority of the cost
of Moore's appearance has been
covered by donations f rom the
community, businesses and individuals. One of the substantial
donations was made by the Herring Broadcast Company.
Chris Moore, director of programming for Herring Broadcast
Company (no relation to Michael
Moore), facilitated and supported
the decision for the donation
made by President of Herring
Broadcast Company, Robert Herring Sr.
"Young people should be
encouraged to involve themselves in the political process. As
a member of the media, it is our
responsibility to promote f ree

Chris Moore also said the decision to f und the speaker was not
influenced by political affiliation.
"Regardless who the speaker is,
as long as the speaker promotes
and provokes political discussion
and debate " said Chris Moore. "I
am a strong believer that apathy
is lethal in terms of the political process; I would encourage
anyone regardless of their political affiliation to be involved in
the political process."

said resident Seth Gretlien.
Some students have also
encountered problems with mold.
Several apartment residents have
found mold growing in their carpets, window seals and showers
and even in ceilings.
Olivia Roldan discovered her
mold problem when she noticed
a " funky smell." Caity Ries
found mold growing inside her
window seals. In both instances
they called the front desk and the
problem was fixed immediately.
"The majority o f mold problems come from the air conditioner. If residents leave it on
really low temperature for a long
time then it (the A/C unit) will
freeze," said Sonya Maestas, an
RA. "When it starts to thaw out it
drips and can cause mold."
"But if someone calls about
mold, we (RA's) call maintenance and they fix it right away,"
said Maestas.
Cassie Johnson had a different
problem. She went into her bathroom and noticed the light above
was dripping and a large puddle
covered the floor. The shower in
the unit above had leaked and
flooded her bathroom below. She
called the front desk.
"They came right away and
cut out a part of the ceiling and
replaced it with plaster," said
Johnson.

Stoned, again
THE PRIDE
BY SCOTT PHILLIPS
Pride Staff Writer
When it hits your lips, it tastes
so good. If you're a beer enthusiast then you definitely recognize
the difference between quality beers and stank beer. Stone
Chief Executive Greg Koch and
co-founder/brewmaster Steve
Wagner set out seven years ago
to produce beers with character
that could be enjoyed by all.
"The first year and a half, Stone
Brewery was seeing substantial
losses," said Koch. "It's hard to
know if you're making a mistake
by continuing production." Yet,
Greg and Steve had a vision and
the guts to push forth with production, even when things were
looking down.
Another aspect of the stone culture is the representation of gargoyles. "All of our beers feature
a gargoyle on the bottle because
they symbolize the big character
of our beers," said Koch.
Two of the largest user-based
rating websites ratebeer.com and
beeradvoate.com have both rated
Stone Brewery as the number one
American brewery out of 3400
breweries.
Stone really put their name on
the map when they first released
Arrogant Bastard Ale (7.2% Ale/
Vol) in November of 1997. Other
beers that have received much
acclaim are Stone Ruination IPA
(7.7% Ale/Vol), Stone Lévitation
Ale (4.4% Ale/Vol) and Stone
IPA (7.7% Ale/Vol).
Coming this November, Stone

Previously, he also won the top prize

Hinkle is a regular guy that values
his friendships and has a great perspective on life. His documentary is
an autobiographical account of the
challenges that he must face on a daily
basis due to his disorder, Frederick's
Ataxia.
According to Merriam-Webster's
dictionary ataxia means, an inability to
coordinate voluntary muscular movements that is symptomatic of some
nervous disorder. Frederick's Ataxia is

Awareness is vital because maybe

Hinkle, when asked if he would show

regular season
is over and the
Padres narrowly missed
the playoffs.
Going into
this inaugural
season in the
new Petco Park
most Padres fans were expecting a winning season, including
me. If you save all my previous
columns like I know you do then
you can go through your scrapbook all the way back to a previous Jock Talk that came out on
March 16, 2004 where I wrote,
"San Diego baseball fans are
more hopeful than usual for the
start of the 2004 season.. .fans
also expect a winning team after
five long years of losing."
The Padres turned my hopes
into a reality by producing their
first winning season since 1998,
but as great as this season was it
still ended up being a disappointment and I am part to blame.
I went to 10 Padres games this
year and not once did they send
me home a happy Padres fan,
losing all 10 games while I was in
attendance.
With the Padres narrowly
missing the playoffs I can't help
but realize the amazing coincidence that the Padres did not win
while I was in attendance. But,
was it just a coincidence or was
I a jinx?
I have never thought much
of jinxes or curses. That is just
something that ball players
believe in like stepping on the
chalk lines will affect the way
you pitch or that a Billy goat is
the reason why the Cubs haven't
won a world series since 1908.

the first Sunday of the season
to a great team like the Giants.
Nor did I think anything of it
when they lost on the first Friday
night home game against one of
the best pitchers in the league in
Randy Johnson.
I started to get concerned
around mid June when they lost
to the lowly Devil Rays. Then on
July 9 the Padres reliable closer
Trevor Hoffman blew a save

Rockies. The final straw for me
came on the first of August when
the Dodgers came from behind in

Resurrecting "The Birth
BY ALFRED CHU
of a Nation"
Pride Staff Writer
Director D.W. Griffith's "The Birth
of a Nation" has been resurrected and is
now for sale at chain electronic stores.
Released in 1915, the silent film accounts
the friendship between a northern family,
the Stonemans, and a southern family, the
Cameron's during pre/post Civil War era,
President Lincoln's assassination and the
rise of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK).
I used the term "resurrected" for three
reasons. First, it was made before Hollywood existed, and now it's been released
on DVD. Second, we see first hand of the
roots of filmmaking. And thirdly, it's possibly the first film to use political ideals
onscreen.
I admit this was the first silent picture
film I've seen. But we've all heard the
phrase "A picture if worth a thousand
words." And f rom these pictures, anyone
can learn Griffith's own prejudices and the
racism during thefilmand the controversy
that sparked after the film.
As a movie critic, this is one o fthe rare I don't know why anybody, including
occasions that the plot is not important in Griffith, would want any part of this film,

Don't rock the VOTE
BY MICHELLE ROBINSON
for The Pride
It's obscene. The liars are
everywhere on campus. I know
this because I'm one of them.
Disgusted with myself, I nod
when people ask me if I'm going
to vote. "Hell, yes!" I say as I
scurry in the direction of my
class. Yet I know I won't.
The funny thing is, I take a
sick pride in knowing that I am
not alone. On this campus, I have
run into likeminded folks who
smile at the student protests, get
loud at the indecencies of government, perhaps shake a fist in the
air saying, "Fees, fees we can't
pay these!" You know who you
are. We are the ones who silently
stand by and listen very carefully
until we make eye contact. Then
we out each other, carefully so
as not to make a scene, though.
I can feel it now, the comfort of
the knowing stare and smile that
says, "Yes, friend, you may seek
refuge with me and the other
big-talking-no-voting villagers."
Please don't mistake my tone
for pride. I hate the fact that the
gumption I have for voting dissipates as soon as I park my car
in the dirt and walk up that jerk
of a sidewalk. Lazy? So what. As
available as registering is, I have
never even come close to "locking the vote."
Some students have legitimate
reasons. Tomy Gysi, a Literature and Writing senior, who is
in fact registered to vote, doesn't

of his vote. I can't sit at Tom's
lunch table because he has actually heard from both sides, taken
it all in, and has come to a well
informed conclusion. Good man.
Joe Inixienginai, a Business
major, simply feels that choosing is losing since it would be the
"Same old, same old." More my
style.
My favorite voter immunity
is Liberal Arts student Alanna
Colepietro who lashes out, " I'm
Canadian." These are just three
non-voting students I have come
across. Where's our protest
against voting in general? Why
should we be ashamed or hide in
the darkest corners of Craven?
Where's our red, white and blue
bumper stickers that say, "Don't
blame me, I voted for m e!" While
I truly do understand the history
making election that is upon us, I
can't seem to muster up and sustain the urgency to vote. I'm busy
avoiding the credit card people.
I'm busy picking up dog poop. I'm
watching the heavy rotation of

put, if Andre 3000 dressed in his

No day like today
BY CHRISSY BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
The Broadway musical, RENT,
is about young people, such as
ourselves, who are faced with all
the difficulties and hardships that
come with just starting out in life.
How do we stay true to ourselves
against the trials and tribulations
of the world and still be able to
make rent each month?
RENT, the musical, is about a
group of young friends living in
New York City (the center of the
world), and how they deal with
relationships, AIDS, death and
the inability to make the monthly
rent.
There are eight main characters. (Try to keep up) Benny,
former roommate of Roger and
Mark who now owns the building they live in and is demanding rent for a full year. Mark, a
young filmmaker, who lives with
Roger and used to date Maureen. Roger, HIV positive musician, who lives with Mark and is
in love with Mimi. Mimi, HIV
positive exotic dancer with a
drug habit. Collins, best friend
to Roger and Mark, falls in love
- with Angel. Angel, HIV positive
drag queen. Maureen, performance artist that dumped Mark
for Joanne. Joanne, a recent
law school graduate, now dating
Maureen.
The story is told through
music, song and dance. From the
moment Roger and Mark took
the stage, the audience roared
with applause and cheers, and not
a word had been spoken. Mark
opens the scene, the band starts
playing, Mark begins to sing and
it feels like you're at a rock concert.
The songs are infectiously
optimistic, even though they tell
the tale of heartbreak, struggle
and death. The underlying theme
throughout the play was sung in
"No day like today". Even though
the characters battle the hardships of disease, destitution and
death of loved ones, the message
is that there is only today because
tomorrow is not guaranteed. We
can't live our lives feeling sorrow
or regret, we need to focus on
what we do have right now and
do the best we can with it.
- In the beginning of the second
act, the entire cast sings in
unison: "Five hundred twentyfive thousand, six hundred minutes. . .how do you measure a life
in a year?" RENT takes the audience through a year in the lives
of the main characters. In that
year, relationships flourish and
fade. They each have a personal
struggle to connect with each
other and with themselves.
The entire production is a
moving illustration of the trials
w e face as young adults living
in America. We are all trying
to find our place in this world,
but it is especially hard when, as
the cast sings, "you are what you
own". If you don't own anything,
does that mean you are nothing?
RENT inspires hope that our
materialistic society will change
and what should matter, will
matter. The message is that only
love matters and it is what we do
with the love we are given and the
love we have to give that makes
us who we are.
Since its debut on Broadway in
1996, RENT has earned a Pulitzer Prize and 12 Tony Awards. It
is definitely a play for all to see
and experience.
RENT was written and composed by Jonathan Larson, he
died days after its first opening
night, but his story still lives on.

The Pride contacted President Haynes for an interview
regarding the decision to cancel
Michael Moore. Rick Moore,
Director of Communications,
contacted The Pride on President
Haynes' behalf.
Rick Moore explained that
the University is not looking for
any one person to balance out
Michael Moore.
In response to the question of
why Michael Moore was deemed
an appropriate speaker last October and now he is not, Rick Moore
said, "Last year there wasn't an
election and he (Michael Moore)
had not politicized himself. Now
we have the election coming up
and there is no time to balance
out the point of view. The election is the key difference here
and Michael Moore's decision to
politicize himself."

SmartPay™ state that the "service charge" is assessed to cover
IDC's costs, but declined to say
specifically what all the costs
are.
Many students on campus are
unhappy with being charged
this fee when paying for classes
online. Senior Matt Taylor said,
"I was frustrated with the additional fee when I found out that
this cost saving feature for the
university was at my expense."
Taylor also said that he contacted
Jonathan Poullard, dean of student affairs, asked the BOD to
allocate $10,000 to bring film
maker, Michael Moore, back to
CSUSM.
Poullard explained at the meeting that Michael Moore was a
scheduled speaker in the Arts
and Lectures Series last October;
however, the event was cancelled
due to the Cedars Fire. Now
Moore is available to reschedule
the event for October 13 or 14.
After discussion from all ASI
directors, the board voted to contribute $6,500 to fund Moore's
speaker fee.
Poullard said, "I am saddened
and disappointed by the decision.
I think our students are missing
out on a phenomenal opportunity
to engage in political discourse.
The Intercultural Speaker Series
is not about having us agree, it's
about having the discourse and
having controversy with civility."
Merryl Goldberg, Professor
of Visual and Performing Arts
and Director of Arts & Lecture
series said, "Personally I'm quite
disappointed. I think it would
have been a great opportunity
for the students. On the other
hand, I understand how it could
be a challenge for the president
and other top administrators. It
is very tough. I wouldn't have
wanted to be the president on
this."
Lura Poggi, Executive Director of ASI said, "I think, although
Michael Moore has partisan
beliefs, that ultimately what
would have happened is he would
have motivated our students to
get involved in the electoral process by getting out to vote. I trust
students to vote their conscious
regardless of what belief structure is presented to them. And
while I appreciate having a balance of perspectives, I trust our
university community to engage
in meaningful dialogue; that will
not only provide a balancing perspective, but also encourage our
community members to, individually, decide for themselves their
core values and political beliefs."
Francine Martinez, Vice
President for Student Affairs
explained that the decision was
discussed Monday morning
among the executive council,
which includes all vice presidents, the Provost and Marti
Gray, Executive Director of
CSUSM Foundation.
Martinez explained that the
council was unable to provide a
counterpart to Michael Moore
and that if they could secure the
right people to provide a balance
they will pull something together
for the spring.
Marti Gray, Executive Director
of CSUSM Foundation said, "I
think everyone (in the executive
council) was in total agreement
that the campus had not been
able to confirm any other speakers that could provide a balance."
"I don't think it is right for the
president to limit the students'
access to the speakers we have,"
said Christopher Langfelder,
freshman, biology major.
Student Financial Services about
the charge via the internet, but
never got any response.
According to Student Financial
Services, the "service charge"
did not begin until 2002 when the
Campus Level Cabinet decided
to contract Informed Decisions
of Alameda California to install
CASHNet SmartPay™ on the
CSUSM website. Convenience
and financial savings for the
school were cited as primary reasons for contracting with IDC.
Paul Tiglio, from the Department of Financial Services said
that the money saved by the university because of IDC CASHNet SmartPay™ goes directly
to campus life programs and
campus security. Mr. Tiglio was
apt to point out that the university
allows students to pay in many
ways, and that IDC CASHNet
SmartPay™ is only one option.
When asked about student complaints regarding IDC CASHNet SmartPay™, he admitted
that there were complaints but
declined to comment on specific
cases.
In addition to imposing a
"service charge" IDC CASHNet SmartPay™ does not accept
payments using a VISA card.
Accepted methods of payment
include Mastercard™, Discover™, American Express™ and
E-check. Debit cards can only be
used if they do not require a PIN.
Many debit cards have a daily
maximum of $500 or less, so they
may not have sufficient funds
available to pay for tuition fees
using IDC CASHNet SmartPay.
Senior Vice President of Sales
for IDC, Randy Steyer, was
also asked how many Student concerns were addressed
by Informed Decisions to the
issue of the CASHNet Smartpay™ "service charge". Styer
responded "that is something we
don't reveal"

As we make the transition into

a new school year, it's important
to remember that school is not
just about classes and homework;
it is also about making an identity, having fun, and forming
friendships. The best way to get
the most from your college experience is to get involved, and with
more than 45 clubs and student
organizations on campus, there is
bound to be at least one tofityour
goals and personality style.
On September 7-9*, the Student Organization Expo featured several different clubs and
student organizations in front of
the Kellogg library, including
the Human Development Club,
Christ on Campus, and Priority
Christian Challenge.
The Human Development Club
was formed to bring together
people with a common interest
in human services. Because the
Human Development major was
becoming so research-based, the
club was formed to offer a place
for people to express their interest in community-benefiting programs and a place to explore the
different careers that a Human
Development degree would
offer.
Members meet twice a month:
once for a general meeting where
they talk, discuss events, and vote
on allocating funds, and a second
time for the event of the month.
The events consist of either a
lecture series, guest speakers,
or some form of volunteer work
for the community. In the past,
the Human Development Club
has participated in events like
the MS walk. "We're humanitarians," said a smiling Dayleen
Coleman, president of the Human
Development Club.
Although the Human Development Club does not exclude
anyone from being a member,
they allow only a human development major or minor to run
for office.
Formerly known as Episcopal Campus Mission, Christ on
Campus is a first-year revised
club that is funded by the Episcopal Church of San Diego. The
Christ on Campus Club aims to
give students a place to meet new
people, a place to belong, and,
as their motto states, "a place
to know Christ and make Him
known."
Founder and youth pastor at
Grace Episcopal Church in San
cation will no longer be able to do
so at such a low cost.
This problem is not just occurring at our campus. The cost of
prescription drugs are increasing throughout the country, and
without necessary action, they
will continue to do so. Piling the
rising costs of prescriptions on
top of the skyrocketing costs of
rent in San Diego and tuition in
California could have extremely
negative consequences on Cal
State students.
According to Dr. Karen Nicholson, the medical director of Cal
State San Marcos, and Joe Jacob,
CSUSM pharmacist explained
that the California State University system has a contract with
pharmaceutical companies to
ensure that students receive certain patented oral contraceptives
at an extremely low cost. Nearly
all of the contraceptives included
in the contract are no longer patented, which basically means
that anyone can create generic
drugs which are almost exactly
the same as the name brands.
Instead of reducing the cost of
name brand drugs to compete
with imitators, they are charging nearly the same amount as
the generic drugs cost - which is
also rising..
All Cal State students are
required to pay a student health
services fee as well as a student
health facility fee. In March
2004, Student Health Services
promoted and passed a referendum that allowed the health services fee to increase from $35 a
semester to $50 and the health
facility fee to go from $3 to $25.
Many people have a tendency to
make the incorrect assumption
that these fees will help to prevent other cost increases, such as
the rising cost of birth control.
To the contrary, Nicholson
said, "the health facility fee is
only applied towards the cost
to rent the facility, which is not
owned by Cal State San Marcos,
and the utility bills. The health
services fee is applied towards
funding staff salaries and the
maintaining the operation of the
services provided. Neither have
anything to do with maintaining the low cost of prescription
drugs."
Jacob also explained that the
State Procurement Officer has
been attempting to negotiate with
the pharmaceutical companies to
fight the increasing costs. If he
is successful, it may be possible
for the pharmacy to offer other
brands of oral contraceptives,
either low cost generic brands or
alternate brands of birth control
that are still patented. While this
issue will most likely be a long
and complicated process, Jacob
stated optimistically that, "At
least the pharmaceutical companies are willing to listen to him."

Marcos, Paul Gibbons, feels that
this club is important because
people need to have somewhere
to belong and to have fun. "As
Christians, we are told to go out
and make disciples," explained
Gibbons. "College students need
to have a place to belong and to
find God."
Plans are tentative because
the club is new. There is no set
meeting schedule, but they hope
to meet one to two times a week.
The meetings will be a time to

Bible Study.
Priority Christian Challenge is
a Bible-based club that emphasizes developing a strong individual Christian faith in a social
environment.
Ruth Bran, outside advisor and
co-founder, felt the club was necessary because it empowers stu-
dents with knowledge and faith,
and gives them a place to get to
know fellow Christians.
The members get together
every Thursday evening at Arts
240. Meetings encourage people
to come together, interact,
form friendships, and pray. The
agenda also includes participating in humanitarian events,
such as Operation Christmas
Child, where people donate toys
and supplies to children in need
all over the world. "We expose
people to the needs in the world,"
explained Bran.

Jock Talk With
Josh
BY JOSHUA SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
Think for just a moment about
all the things that have changed
in your life over the past five
years. I mean most of you probably went to a different school,
had a different job, or fashioned
a different hair dofiveyears ago.
Basically, not much stays consistent overfiveyears.
However, one person who has
been consistent over the past five
years has been Tiger Woods. "El
Tigre" was the number one golfer
in the world for the pastfiveyears
which is 264 consecutive weeks
which is also 1848 days.
However, everything in life
eventually comes to an end and
Tiger's streak is no exception.
His rule as number one player
in the world came to an end last
week when Vijay Singh claimed
the spot that Tiger had kept warm
for so long.
Growing up you work towards
being the best at what you do no
matter whatfieldyou are working
in. Once you reach the pedestal
of number one what else is there
for you to accomplish? The only
thing left for you to prove is that
you have staying power and no
one has had more staying power
in sports than Tiger Woods.
Tiger is the most recognizable person in sports. Even
people who know absolutely
nothing about sports know who
Tiger is. Tiger is now among the
few in our society who can be
referred to just by one name like
Madonna, Cher, and Prince.
Golf is the hardest sport to
dominate in, because it is an
individual sport. In team sports
like baseball and football you can
rely on your teammates if you are
having a bad day at the park. In
golf, if you are having a bad day
on the course you have no one to
blame but yourself.
Now I want you to think about
all the bad days you have had in
the pastfiveyears. If you are like
most people, you don't always
have a great day everyday of the
week. So, when you look at the
fact that Tiger has not had a bad
day in five years it is just simply
amazing.
It is not like Tiger is past his
prime so Tiger losing his number
one ranking has many people
questioning what led to this.
Well there are several things that
could have led to this, one thing
being that he has had some nagging injuries over the past couple
years especially to his knee which
is one of the most important body
parts to a golfer. Another thing
that many people believe is that
since Tiger fell in love with his
fiance his golf game has gone
down hill. Also, some think that
his new golf equipment has just
been inferior to that of what the
other golfers are using.
Who knows if it was any of
those circumstances? However,
the thing that makes Tiger that
much better in my eyes is that
he did not use one of those as an
excuse. I tnean, how many of you
have tried to pass the blame when
you could not explain what went
wrong in a certain situation?
I for one fear for the golfing
community because not having towards again. The last time
Tiger in that number one spot Tiger had something to prove
means he has something to work he ended up becoming the most

seen. Now it is time to sit back
and watch Tiger roar.

�You got Visa? You got no classes
BY KARLENE WIEGAND
Pride Staff Writer
Students frustrated by our
school's registration system is not
a new phenomenon. As the new
semester starts many students
will cry "the registration woes,"
especially new students who are
unfamiliar with our registration
process.
The unique part about our registration system here at Cal State
San Marcos is the fact that we
don't accept Visa, a commonly
used credit card used by CSUSM
students. The reasons we don't
accept Visa has something to do
with a nation wide lawsuit, due
to high merchant fees of up to
$600,000 charged to Colorado
State University for example.
Merchant fees are what credit
card companies charge the user,
like Ralphs grocery store, or, in
the case of Cal State San Marcos,
to use their credit cards like
Visa. The entire state university
system in California and other
nation wide state schools including Indiana, Colorado and Texas
are facing these same fees. Many
state schools aré now opting to
charge students a convenience
fee for using credit cards to pay
for tuition rather than paying the
high merchant fees.
The CashNet SmartPay system
is a popular convenience charge
system, currently used at our
school and various schools
throughout California, Indiana,
Colorado and Texas.
I guess there is no way to
change the system because either
way we, the students of CSUSM
will be paying these merchant
fees.
However, it is of concern to me
why the cashiers' office won't tell
us why our Visa credit cards are
being turned away or why we
have to pay a convenience fee.
Last Spring was my first semester at Cal State San Marcos. I had
been using my Visa credit card
at Mira Costa College for the
previous three years. I would
pay for my books and my classes
and then send my grandmother
the bill in Las Vegas where she
lives.
The first time I registered here
was a nightmare. I had no clue student loans instead, which have
why my Visa was being shunned a much lower interest rate and

How to get YOUR
class started
BY PATRICIA GUEVARRA
Pride Staff Writer
So, the first two weeks of
school are finally over, yes!
Congratulations to all of you
who have survived. I know it
has been a fun ride just trying
to crash classes and having to
switch back to school mode. Just
imagine, 14 more weeks until it is
time for Winter Break. Exciting,
isn't it?
This is also the time when
we realize that there are a lot of
classes that are not being offered
due to budget cuts or are not even
offered because no one has ever
expressed a need for it. I am
pretty sure that there are a lot
of great classes that some of you
would like to have offered here or
classes that you do need. Here
are a couple of tips that can help
you get started.
First thing, you need to do is
research about this class, what
does it entail and who will benefit from this course? Then,
scout for other students and
even faculty members who view
the course as beneficial and are
willing to support your efforts in
starting this class. This way you
will have the power of numbers.
Make sure you do have a faculty
member who is supporting you
in order to have stronger ties to
administration.
Once you have a core group of
people involved, you can create
a petition stating the need for
this class and be sure to provide
why this class is important. You
can circulate this around campus
to gain support from the rest of
our school population. Be sure
to have a possible teacher in
mind for the class, you will of
course need a teacher. Also, you
can hold meetings with faculty
and administration in order to
express the dire need of this class
for the benefit of Cal State San
Marcos.
Mind you that this will be a
long process. You may not see
the class being offered during
your academic career but at least
you have gotten a movement
started so that other students can
benefit from this.
Regardless of the time factor,
you will be doing something
great for the campus.
I am writing this article based
on the experience of the Asian
Pacific American Association,
formerly known as the Asian
Pacific American Society. The
Association has been struggling
with the lack of Asian American
Studies classes on campus.
According to Fall 2003's
enrollment, there were a total
of 732 Asian American/Pacific
Islander students on campus,
9.4%. The third largest student
population and yet few classes
are offered pertaining to Asian
Studies and no classes in Asian
American Studies.
There are, however, several
history classes with subject matters of China, Japan, women in
the Middle East, and Eastern
thought, but what about the experience of the Asian American.
I offer these steps in case any
other student feels the need to
start some classes on campus as
well. There are other students
who will support you. The
campus is still new, take advantage of your ability to make a
difference.

A VIEW FROM BOTH SIDES
'A Stronger America' is what
democratic presidential candidate John Kerry's platform is all
about, and that is exactly why I
am voting for him.
A stronger America is needed
during these times when Americans seem to be divided by the
platform President Bush has been
pushing.
I am a Democrat because I
believe in equality for all Americans and the preservation of
our natural environment. I also
believe in fiscal responsibility,
smaller government, and a stronger military.
I am afirmbeliever in respect,
understanding and tolerance, and
Kerry is the only contender that
strongly believes in equality for
all Americans.
Kerry has adamantly stated
that he does not believe that a
constitutional amendment is necessary in order to 'preserve' the
'institution of marriage.' Kerry
believes the idea of marriage for
gays and lesbians should be left
up to the states. The Constitution
has never once been amended to
strip a minority group in America of their right to "life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness."
Kerry also strongly believes
that there is more work to be
done to help the advancement of
minorities in our communities so
that they to can attain a higher
education, and advance further
in the work place.

�Enter the " Garden State" of mind
BY JASON ENCABO
Pride Staff Writer
Once again, an actor steps into
the realm of writing and directing. Many may know him as Dr.
John 'J.D.' Dorian from the NBC
series "Scrubs," but nowadays
Zach Braff has a lot more on his
plate than acting.
Braff s film "Garden State,"
which he credited as writer,
director and starring in, has
gained support since it's initial
release in June. Picked up by
Miramax and Fox Searchlight
Pictures, the film is now on a
wide-scale release.
Thefilmbegins in Los Angeles
where Andrew Largeman (Braff)
is living as a struggling actor.
The scene shifts to New Jersey
(i.e. The Garden State) when

A debate was held last Tuesday
between the College Republicans
and the Progressive Activist Network (PAN) on the general topic
of homeland security vs. civil
liberties.
The debate took place in
Founders Plaza from 10a.m. to
lp.m.
Topics explored at the
debate included the war in Iraq
and the war on terrorism as well
as various other current political
and social issues.
PAN was represented by Lanysha Adams and Cheyenne Barr.
Ashley Stuart and Nick Bonomi
represented the positions of the
College Republicans.
The debate drew a crowd
pf some 45-50 students. The
debate became heated at times
as both sides sought to explain
their respective positions on
each issue. Some issues were
discussed as partisan positions
rather than responses to specific
questions. At times both groups
agreed in part on some of the
topics.
"I - really think we need a
regime change," said Barr, PAN
vice president of external affairs,
on the issue of who should be the
next president, "and that we need

several
reasons for the cancellation. In
the statement Haynes said, "The
proposed date, only a few weeks
away, does not allow time to
identify and secure a speaker of
comparable significance who can
provide a balancing perspective
during this election year."
"Universities are about the
exchange of ideas. Some ideas
are uncomfortable, but being
exposed to them is how we
become confident or our own
beliefs and values. That said,
however, it is important that
discussions be balanced," said
Haynes. "The University recognizes the need to present diverse
points of view. Therefore we will
delay Mr. Moore's appearance
until later in the academic year,
and after the election, pending
agreement between his schedule
and ours, and until we can consider how to provide a balancing
perspective."
In response to the cancellation
64 members of the faculty signed
an open letter directed to the
President and the executive council. The letter dated September
15 expressed "strong opposition to the Executive Council's
decision to postpone Michael
Moore's scheduled speaking
engagement..."

CSUSM receives neerly $1 million in budget money
BY CHRIS KING
Pride Staff Writer
Cal State San Marcos is in the
midst of a budget deficit for the
third consecutive year as a result
of state education budget cuts.
" (B^get year) 2004-05 was
probably the worst of the three
years. This was the first time
that the campus had been told
to reduce its target enrollment,"
Terry Allison, Interim Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
of Finance and Administrative
Services, said.
As a result of these cuts in
enrollment 200 fewer students
were allowed to enroll at Cal
State San Marcos this fall semester than the previous year.
In the CSU system, monies are
allocated according to full time
student enrollment. This year
enrollment was cut by 23,000
students statewide in order
accommodate the decrease in
state education funding. This
continues the trend of reduction
in enrollment in the CSU system.
Last year, 250 fewer students
were admitted at CSUSM than
the previous year due to cuts
in the state university system
budget.
CSUSM's budget was originally cut by $3.8 million this
year. However on the day that the
CSU system budget was signed
$40.5 million was reallocated
back to the entire CSU system.
Cal State San Marcos received
nearly $1 million - $995,914 to
be exact - of the $40.5 million
in returned student revenues;
however, it was not enough to
truncate the university's remaining $2,430,781 net deficit for this
fiscal year. Had the University
not received this additional funding, this year's budget deficit
would have exceeded last

know what a terrorist is," said
Adams. "We have a very general
view of what a terrorist is and I
fail to understand why we are
fighting a war on a tactic."
"I think that having an invisible
wall torn down (between government intelligence departments)
is a good thing because then we
have checks and balances," said
Barr. "But when you can define
a terrorist by anything that John
Ashcroft says, well that's a big
problem. When that can't be disputed or vetoed in any way from
congress or any group of people
well then he has complete authority to throw someone into jail,"
added Barr.
Bonomi agreed that removing
barriers between intelligence
departments was a good thing.
"The benefit... it's a big one,"
said Bonomi.
Bonomi defended U.S. intelligence agencies' right to conduct
"sneak and peek operations."
Bonomi also stated that the
Patriot Act was passed with overwhelming bipartisan support.
The next debate to be held
between the College Republicans
and PAN is scheduled for October 26 from 11:30 a.m. to 1p.m.
on the steps of Founders Plaza.

when he got out he went against

executive director of the College Republicans.
"President
Bush will protect America every
time."
"I agree that we need to have
more security. The problem I see
is that most of the money is going
overseas, it's going into Iraq.
Most of the money isn't staying
here," said Barr on the topic of
homeland security.
"The war on terrorism will
never be over until all the terrorists have been removed," said
Stuart.
" I view the war on terror as
a war on crime, it's a long war,
it will never be completely over
but we can fight it and we can
be effective," said Nick Bonomi.
"It's (the war on terrorism) a
deterrent. It's effective and when
people are put in check when
they are doing something wrong
they will eventually do what is
right."
Lanysha Adams, film series
coordinator for PAN, responded
to Bonomi's perception of the
war on terror with a different
interpretation.
"The war on terror is not something material. The war on terror
is a war on a philosophical and
political idea," said Adams. "The

partisan decision making under
cover of suspicious claims of balance," the letter stated. The letter
also called the "very logic of
requiring balanced perspectives
flawed." "Were we to follow it to
its conclusion, we might decide
to invite a speaker to defend the
violence of racist mobs, since
there is currently a very public
exhibit in our new library that
is unabashedly critical of lynching"
The letter concluded that,
"balance should come not from
mechanical juxtaposition of
speakers with opposing opinions. It should come from our
community as we weigh issues,
evidence and opinions. What
could more effectively stimulate this healthy process than an
energetic and reasoned political
speech just the time when such
arguments matter most?" "We
urge you (President Haynes) and
the Executive Council to reverse
your decision and allow our community the opportunity to engage
critically with this timely speaker
and his challenging ideas."
Many faculty members also
sent individual letters of protest
to President Haynes.
"The arguments (implied and
explicit) that the University is a
neutral marketplace of ideas and
that balance in exchange can only
be achieved by having another
equally famous speaker (film
maker?) on the stage with Moore
are unpersuasive," said professor
Dreama Moon. "Under the com-
èli
mittee's logic, this campus may
not have any public presentation
of any type that puts forth a particular viewpoint without having
a counter viewpoint expressed.
If we pursue this rationale to its
(il)logical conclusions, it appears
ludicrous as well as unwieldy.
So the lynching exhibit requires
a complimentary KKK exhibit,
Women's Herstory month activities require complimentary
activities presenting patriarchal viewpoints of women, the
Republican club may never have
a speaker on campus without an
accompanying Democrat (Green,
Independent, ???), environmental educational seminars require
a complimentary argument for
the dumping of hazardous waste,
etc.? I find this logic difficult to
support."
Students organized a campaign to submit letters to President Haynes voicing opposition
to the cancellation. This week in

and submit form letters voicing
their disapproval.

regardless of political affiliation.
Student Heather Frost Vance,
one of the organizers of the protest this upcoming Thursday,
called the cancellation of Moore,
"detrimental to our development
as responsible members of society, "and said that," the way it
was handled makes me feel that
the administration lacks true
commitment to our educational
freedom." Vance said that the
cancellation sent the message
that "they (CSUSM administration) aren't confident in our abilities as critical thinkers and the
education provided us."
There were also those who
expressed support for President
Haynes and the Executive Council's decision.
"We support President Haynes
and the Executive Council's
decision, they did the right thing.
Student funds should not be spent
on a partisan speaker. It needs to
be a speaker that's objective,"
said Nicholas Bonomi, executive
director of the CSUSM College
Republicans. "We should bring
in someone that would speak
for free. If they speak for free it
means they care. If you need to
pay them, the speaker obviously
doesn't care about the audience."
In a letter dated September
16, President Haynes responded
to criticism of the cancellation.
"I want to say to you "up front"
that in retrospect, I know I could
have handled this matter better.

least to the degree I would like —
and I regret that."
Haynes also responded by
saying, "many members of the
campus community felt surprised
arid disappointed by what
happened, and I want to offer
my apology for those feelings."
Haynes continued to defend
her and the council's decision
by stating, "The university is
prohibited from using state funds
for partisan political activity. We
are in the midst of a hard-fought
presidential election. Were we to
host Mr. Moore a month from
now using state funds, without
balancing his appearance with an
alternate perspective, we would
be in violation of the law. As

Professor Sepinwall receives
teaching award
BY DANIEL LOWE
Pride Staff Writer
She's a respected scholar, has
written numerous articles and
has a new book coming out next
year.
Alyssa Goldstein Sepinwall,
associate professor of history,
was recently chosen to receive
the President's Award for Innovation in Teaching.
"She is not only a distinguished scholar, but also a very
effective teacher," said Tony
Acevedo, a former student of
Sepinwall. "She is also one of the
nicest and concerned professors a
student could hope to meet"
"I nominated Dr. Sepinwall
for the award because f think that
her innovative teaching methods
bring out the best in her students
and the material at hand," said

Acevedo.
When asked about the award
Sepinwall commented on how
touched she was that the students
nominated her and the committee decided that she had earned
the award. She was quick to
give credit to others. "There are
so many wonderful teachers on
campus. I'm just the one chosen
this year. I am very humbled to
be recognized in this way," said
Sepinwall. She credited her colleagues with giving her many of
her teaching ideas.
"She offers fresh and originative approaches to teaching her classes," said Acevedo.
These creative methods include
panel discussions, movies and
sometimes even dancing. Stu-

A new face in athletics
Steven Nichols: Athletic Director
BY SCOTT PHILLIPS
Pride Staff Writer
With the always growing CSU San Marcos population, seeing new faces around campus has become a norm. One new face
in the crowd has a vision to bring the athletic department to something students and faculty can be proud of. His name is Dr.
Stephen Nichols and he is our new interim director of athletics for at least the next two years. Dr. Nichols graduated with a
bachelor's degree from CSU Long Beach, and earned his master's and Ph.D. degrees from Ohio State.
Q: What is your background in the field of sports?
A: When I attended Western High School in Orange County, I was involved with the swim team and the water polo team. After high school, I played water
polo for Cypress Community College, but not for long. Currently, I participate in triathlons (swimming, biking & running) and just ran a half Iron Man in
Oceanside last March.
Q: What brought you to CSU San Marcos?
A: After entertaining offers from other schools, like University of Washington, I visited CSU San Marcos with no prior knowledge of this school. After
interviewing for the position, I felt that this was a school where I could be happy and give the athletic department all the help I can. It is also exciting to
come back to southern California.
Q: What are your immediate priorities for the athletics department?
.;
A: I think it's time for our athletics to grow. Currently, CSU San Marcos is in the NAIA and our goal as a department is to get into the NCAA, Division 2.
To accomplish this we need to get two more team sports and it looks like a soccer team is next in line. Volleyball is another sport that we would like to see
added to our athletic department. We're looking to add onsite sporting events so the student body can get into the school's athletic teams Most people
don't realize that CSU San Marcos has already produced a national champion in track and field and the golf teams have a high ranking within the NAIA.
Q: What is your direct role with the CSU San Marcos athletes?
,. . . .. .
A: My role is to make sure that each sports program is running smooth. Part of my job is to evaluate our athletes both academically and behaviorally. I
also speak at award ceremonies or help out directly, like next month when I pick up our golf team at the airport. My goal is to
handle any problem that might arise, in a punctual and professional manner.
Q: How can CSU students learn more about our athletic department?
A: There is always information available at the Clark Field House, and the school holds tryouts. The best way to get
information on a particular sport is to contact the coach. Because we are trying to be as competitive as we can in athletics, we
have a very active recruiting process that looks for exceptional athletes with good academic standing.
It is exciting that the athletic department is taking steps to give our school first-rate sports teams. Students will be able to rally
around teams, which in turn would bring the student body closer. It appears the outcome of Dr. Nicholas hiring will be a new
sense of school pride for CSUSM athletics.

What do
you dream
about?
If
you
were
given
one
wish, what
would it be?
What's your
fantasy?
Well, the fantasy of any sports
fan since the beginning of time
has been to run a professional
sports team. That is the reason
why fantasy sports have become
such a huge success.
If you are a sports fanatic, or
know a sports fanatic, chances
are you know about fantasy
sports. For those that don't
know what the heck I am
talking about I will give
you a quick run down
on the basics for fantasy
football.
You join a league with
a bunch of your friends
where each person receives
their own team. Before the
football season starts you draft
some players compiling a team
of a quarterback, kicker, running backs, wide receivers, and
a team defense. Each week in
the NFL season you match your
team against someone else in the
to leagues like that can cost thousands of dollars with obviously
high rewards.
Fantasy sports are a blast to
play with a bunch of your friends
and I have been doing so since
1999 with a group of some of my
best friends. However, fantasy
games haven't brought all positives to the sports world.
This fantasy sports craze has
made it so that people forget
who their favorite sports team is.
Sometimes you will find yourself
rooting your team on but you
look across the field and see the
opposing team which so happens
to have your fantasy teams star
player which puts you in a predicament. Do you root for your
favorite football team or do you
root for your fantasy team? Well
sadly many people are choosing
the later. Sports fans are slowly
turning into fantasy sports fans
which is a sad site for any true
sports lover.

OPINION

Tuesday, September 21,2004
By JASON NICHOLS
MteOmbudsman
A VIEW FROM BOTH SIDES
Michael Moore
is outrageous and
at times, he can
also be obnoxious
but his satire and
wit provide a
platform for the
voice of opposition.
This voice is the
foundation
of
democracy.
Our Po,,
freedom of speech
y Charoenkwanchai
is what makes
us a nation different from those that
have attacked us. Our country is based
on taking sides: Republican, Democrat,
Independent, Green Party etc. Choices are
a part of being American. It is our right
and our duty to question how capable the
leaders of this country are, because if it is
anything but an optimistic illusion, these
leaders serve us: The People.
As a Democrat, I have come to realize
that there is no truth when it comes to
politics. The belief that a president is
guiding us with the best interest of his
constituents rather than that of greedy
power-hungry corporations is a leap of
blind faith. With a world that is at times
scary to live in, we have come closer and
closer to falling without a net. So that begs
the question* who should we trust?
Who is right? Is there a right? I'm
not proposing that the truth lies within
the words of Michael Moore. It is not his
reputation for controversy that earned my
support. It is his unrelenting passion to
speak his mind, despite the opinion of the
general public. I realize that not everyone
wants to hear Moore ranting but there is a
remedy: the OFF button. This would have
worked in a situation where he could have
appeared as a speaker. My advice: Just
don't buy tickets.
People who are put off by Moore
argue that he is unpatriotic. A patriot is
someone who loves, supports and defends
their country. Patriotism is not always
relative to the context of War. Defending
my country is an act that entails more than
just the ability to bear arms. I strongly
support our troops despite the fact that I
am opposed to the mirage we call a cause.
Moore's suspicions about the true nature
of this war are not based on hearsay. There
is documented proof in his books and
films. He includes news articles that hint
to a deeper, more corrupt reason to why
we invaded and conquered Iraq. These
doubts, mirrored by my own, make it hard
for me to believe that this war was fought
for the cause of the American people.
I love America, but it's the system
that bother me. I can not understand
how we can attempt to silence someone
who believes that teachers deserve more
respect and more pay than what they feebly
call their salary. This university is mainly

I don't understand is why a filmmaker/

balanced discussion?

either deserve, or would have had, had the
engagement gone forward as planned.
Rick Moore also mentioned Michael
Moore's "decision to politicize himself"
as a reason for not bringing him in, which
begs the question: When was Moore not
politicized? Both "Stupid White Men"
and "Dude, Where's My Country?" were
released in paperback shortly before last
year's scheduled appearance; Moore's
publisher, Warner Books, states that in
"Dude, Where's My Country?," "Michael
Moore is on a mission in his new book:
Regime Change," and in "Stupid White
Men" Moore calls for the UN to, "overthrow the Bush Family Junta." So last year
it was okay for Moore to appear alone, and
this year it's not?
Another excuse given is that this is
an election year and last year wasn't (it
actually was, but the recall was over by
Moore's scheduled appearance date).
Let's be honest here: most people will
already have their minds made up before
they go see Moore anyway. I would also
wager that the students of CSUSM — along
with the rest of the potential attendees of
Moore's appearance - will take more than
one person's opinion into account before
deciding how to vote, no matter how close
to the election they hear it.
So bring on Moore. We no more need to
hear a balanced viewpoint when he speaks
in person than we need when we see him
on film, which is a good thing, considering that the CSUSM Center ARTES has
scheduled a free, on-campus showing of
Fahrenheit 9/11 on October 5 (as part of
the Arts & Lectures Series).
Yank the speaker, but not his film? Gee
whiz, that kind of makes me think all those
excuses were just a load of crap. Maybe
Rick Moore's claim during an interview
on the Stacy Taylor show (aml360) is true:
Michael Moore was cancelled for fear that
his appearance would offend CSUSM's big
donors.
Bring in Michael Moore and lose
money? Now there's an excuse any good
Republican can appreciate.

I salute the Presidents'
efforts to stop Michael
Moore. However, the
problem is not solved.
ASI is supposed to be
non-partisan. They openly
attack the governor, the
president, and now they
Dear President Haynes,
I have always thought
of you as a great leader
in our school. You have
participated in events with
students, created a nice
and happy environment;
you even got us all some
lunch last week. But your
administration's decision
to cancel Michael Moore
shows deep disregard for
the students of CSU San
Marcos. First of all, Mr.
Moore was scheduled to
speak approximately a
year ago with out question.
As you know he was
postponed because of the
fires. He has since, as
far as i know, decided to
reschedule for this October.
So your administration
then decides to cancel his
appearance? This should
not even be a question!

Concerned Undergraduate
Student,
Felipe Robinson-Zanartu
I hope all of us would
not want to continue
negotiating with a car
dealer that had a teenager's
offer fall through, which
was contingent on his
/her parents cosigning for
a loan, if that car dealer
responded by threatening
to sue everybody. Real
estate offers are usually
contingent on several
factors, including
inspections, securing
loans, selling of other real
estate, et cetera. I suspect
that in politics and the
entertainment industry, they
are no different in their
offer and contract practices.
I think we should no
longer even pretend to be
associated with a Michael
Moore appearance in North
County due to his reaction.
The headline in this

looks deceptive. If there
was no contract, what

more truthful headline
would have been "Not with

Chapter President
for his film's authenticity.
Just because the facts Mr.
Moore artfully arranges in
his films fit a certain thesis,
does not necessarily mean
that the thesis is true.
For example, I have two
dogs at my home. I make
dinner in the evenings for
my family. After dinner,
I feed the table scraps
to my dogs. Now, just
because my dogs think
that I make dinner for
them every night does
not make it so. So is the
way of Mr. Moore's films.
An artful arrangement of
inconclusive facts that
promote an unworkable
thesis. Mr. Moore traded in
honest political discourse
for political propaganda.
In all fairness, this happens
more than I care to admit in
politics today - on the left
and on the right.
Though I don't agree with
Mr. Moore, or his one-sided
propagandist views, having
him appear on a public
college campus, without a
discerning counter-balance
to his propaganda, is
inappropriate a few weeks
before a national election
and not a good use of
public funds.
I applaud your decision
and your reasoning behind
it. Once the election is
over, I don't see any
reason why Mr. Moore
can not visit the campus
in a panel format with the
appropriate panelists that
could bring some sense
to his implausible and
propagandist view point.
Thank you for your time
in this matter. It is always
hard to make an unpopular
decision, even when it is
the right one to make.
Sincerely,
Christopher Mitchell
Senior, History Major
His self-described "one
sided" view of unrelated
facts to fit implausible
theories in his films makes
him controversial to the
point of being a political
propagandist.
Mr. Moore makes no
apologies for his cleverly
crafted use of film to
promote his view of the
world. I don't fault him
for his views but I do fault
him for his over-use of
the "documentary" format
which leaves the viewing
public with more than a
deserving appreciation

This semester students will
have the opportunity to view
"Lynching in America: The
Fabric of Race", an installation
by Renee Billingslea, in the Kellogg Library as a part of the Context Library series.
"Lynching
in
America"
awards a voice to an ugly time
in America's history that is rarely
discussed and often hushed.
Billingslea has applied the usage
of mixed media to help break
a "Code of Silence" that has
existed to protect the perpetrators of racial violence and silence
the victims.
Billingslea uses common
objects filled with thoughtful
symbolism to help people connect with victims who lost their
lives to prejudicial injustice. She
transforms written history into
visual and tactile artistry that can
be experienced and absorbed.
The installation displays many
dirty white dress shirts of men,
women, and children. Billing-
slea said that "by distressing
white shirts, and hanging handsewn nametags from the sleeve,
I honor each life." Because there
are many unknown victims, Billingslea has placed a few shirts
without tags, folded neatly on
shelves to represent and honor
their lives as well.
Billingslea portrays the social
aspects of lynching with a handsewn quilt made of recycled
fabrics and authentic pictures
to create a powerful message
about the spectators.
Billing-
slea said that, "(At a lynching)
people packed food and spread
out blankets, as if attending a
baseball game. Thousands of
people watched, children were
excused from school to attend
with their parents and folks
traveled hundreds of miles just
to see a person be burned or
hung." The pictures are a haunting reminder of America's brutal
past and it really brings home
the fact that people took pleasure
from these horrific events. There
are mason jars on shelves, which
Billingslea says are "vestiges of
violence" that represent things
people might have taken away
from a lynching for souvenirs,
such as locks of hair, remnants of
clothing, or ashes from victims
who were burned.
This installation is a moving
tribute to the thousands of men,
women and children that were
lynched in our country and it
serves as a lesson in humanity.

P ride S taff W riter
Shaun (Simon Pegg, who also
co-wrote the film with director Edgar Wright) isn't having a
very good week. His co-workers
have no respect for him and his
girlfriend Liz has had enough
of his laziness and inconsideration. She cannot stand to spend
another evening with him in the
local pub, the Winchester. Shaun
isn't such a bad guy, but he has
no ambition and seems to prefer
the company of his unemployed,
flatulent, video-game obsessed
slob of aflatmate Ed (Nick Frost)
to anyone else.
As an added bonus, the dead
have risen and are walking the
earth in search of human flesh to
feast upon. Shaun doesn't notice
this fact as quick as he should
(despite the fact that the TV and
radio are broadcasting unexplained phenomenon), but Shaun
is somewhat of a zombie himself,
lost in his own world and distracted by his own thoughts as he
walks past rotting cadavers that
now fill the streets of London.
The beginning of the movie
takes on a satirical view of the
commercialized world and how
people walk about in a trance-like
gaze oblivious to the happenings
that surround them. When Shaun
and Ed finally do realize what is
happening, they form a half-wit
plan to save Shaun's mum, rescue
Liz and go to the pub where they
can wait out the zombie infestation with a pint and a smoke. It
may not be the best plan, but at
least Shaun tried to do something
constructive with his life.
This movie covers a broad
range of emotions from side-
splitting laughter to heartfelt
sincerity with zombies thrown
into the mix. Normally, zombie
horror movies end horribly, without giving too much away that is
not the case with this movie. It
may have to compete with the
ultra-scary remake of George
Romero's "Dawn of the Dead"
(on DVD in late October), but
"Shaun" is able to stand on its
own two feet. It should not be
confused with horror spoof films,
such as the "Scary Movie" trilogy, this movie is actually scary
with parts that make you jump
and gore that makes you cover
your eyes. "Shaun of the Dead"
opens in theaters Friday September, 24. If you are looking for a
good time, check your local listings and be ready to have your
socks knocked off.
Omaha is the most unlikely city
where you would expect to find a
band making electronic music.
But the Nebraska natives, who
comprise The Faint, were able to
create a dance album that sounds
good even without ecstasy.
For anyone acquainted with
The Faint, Wet From Birth had
big shoes to fill. With the success of their 2001 release Danse
Macabre, The Faint have gained
national and international respect
as one of America's best electronic bands. Their album Danse
Macabre went on to be one of
their label's best-selling albums,
and with their constant touring
they are considered to be one
of the best live acts. They have
even worked with DJs such as
Paul O akenfold to create a remix
album entitled Danse Macabre
Remixes.
When going to record their
new album they took their time.
It took about a year for The Faint
to write and record their new
album. The time and care spent
on this record shows. The production is phenomenal, much like
Danse Macabre, and the songs
are filled with 80's pop sensibilities and lots of synthesizers.
But unlike Danse Macabre,
The Faint sometimes stray away
from this formula. On songs
like "Birth" and "Dropkick the
Punks," The Faint shy away from
the drum machines and keyboards to create more guitar orientated songs. Some songs even
overlap both genres. The song "I
Disappear" takes the dance beats
that make The Faint unique and
interesting and blends them with
more tradition guitar and bass.
The lyrical content is very
much similar to Danse Macabre.
A major theme in both albums
is consumer culture. Songs such
as "Symptom Finger" demonstrate this, "The faintness that
you feel is nothing permanent.
Don't buy the sickness on T.V.
You want your health they want
the fee. You see the ads and start
to think, I feel it coming on "
While being even more blatantly political than on previous
efforts they have become even
more personal in their lyrics too.
"How Could I Forget" shows
this trait, "How could I forget a
waste of breath? Of course I do,
remember. All the things you said
were pointless. And now you go
on dropping names...mmm but I
still dig you."
The Faint have done a great job
of doing what many artists can't
do after a successful album, they
made a CD that is just is good if

The �
Pride �
�
CSUSM �
�
California �
State �
University �
San �
Marcos �
�
Tuesday, �
September �
28, �
2004 �
�
Dear �
Readers: �
�
There �
is �
little �
doubt �
that �
you �
may �
have �
questions �
regarding �
this �
issue �
of �
the �
Pride. �
It �
is �
a �
break �
from �
our �
traditional �
format, �
and �
is �
a �
break �
from �
newspaper �
style �
in �
general. �
The �
Pride �
editors �
would �
like �
to �
provide �
some �
insight �
to �
this �
issue. �
�
�
The �
Pride �
office �
was �
moved �
[sic] �
the �
course �
of �
last �
week �
to �
a �
new �
office �
located �
in �
Academic �
Hall. �
As �
a �
condition �
of �
this �
move, �
The �
Pride �
was �
to �
receive �
two �
computers �
to �
supplement �
our �
ability �
to �
produce �
our �
newspaper. �
�
�
The �
move �
was �
addled �
with �
bureaucratic �
manipulation. �
The �
move �
was �
partially �
completed �
by �
two �
separate �
departments: �
IITS �
and �
Facility �
Services. �
�
�
Once �
in �
the �
new �
office, �
our �
computers �
had �
not �
been �
delivered �
nor �
could �
they �
be �
located �
or �
accounted �
for. �
At �
the �
very �
least, �
we �
thought �
we �
could �
function �
as �
normal �
when �
our �
existing �
computers �
were �
moved �
to �
the �
new �
office �
the �
following �
day. �
�
�
However, �
during �
the �
IITS �
move �
of �
our �
existing �
computers, �
the �
hard �
drive �
of �
our �
layout �
computer �
crashed �
and �
no �
one �
knew �
if �
the �
data �
could �
be �
recovered. �
Without �
our �
template �
and �
files �
we �
would �
be �
creating �
a �
newspaper �
from �
scratch. �
�
�
By �
Thursday, �
the �
situation �
escalated �
because �
we �
still �
did �
not �
have �
our �
new �
computers. �
We �
checked �
with �
the �
data �
recovery �
effort �
and �
were �
assured �
that �
we �
were �
on �
the �
lowest �
rung �
of �
importance: �
no �
matter �
who �
or �
what �
department �
on �
campus �
had �
a �
computer �
problem �
they �
would �
get �
priority �
over �
us. �
�
�
We �
asked �
for �
help �
from �
the �
administration �
to �
locate �
and �
deliver �
our �
new �
computers �
and �
to �
see �
to �
it �
that �
we �
had �
a �
higher �
priority �
for �
our �
data �
to �
be �
recovered. �
We �
were �
told �
that �
it �
was �
our �
problem �
to �
deal �
with. �
We �
were �
told �
that �
we �
needed �
to �
be �
creative �
and �
find �
a �
way �
to �
produce �
our �
paper �
without �
our �
layout �
computer. �
Indeed, �
we �
got �
creative. �

[Dear �
Reader, �
from �
pg.1] �
�
From �
our �
brainstorming �
sessions, �
the �
hand-
written �
Pride �
was �
born. �
The �
idea �
served �
the �
dual �
purpose �
of �
getting �
a �
paper �
on �
the �
newsstands �
for �
the �
readers �
and �
demonstrating �
to �
the �
administration �
our �
resilience �
in �
the �
face �
of �
idling �
bureaucracy. �
�
THANK �
YOU, �
�

CSUSM �
Protests �
�Last �
Thursday, �
200-
300 �
students �
protested �
the �
cancellation �
of �
filmmaker �
Michael �
Moore’s �
scheduled �
visit �
to �
campus. �
�
�
Students �
and �
faculty �
gathered �
in �
front �
of �
University �
Hall �
at �
11 �
A.M. �
in �
order �
to �
exercise �
their �
freedom �
of �
speech. �
�
�
“Claim �
your �
Education �
Freedom �
of �
Information” �
was �
the �
slogan. �
Students �
carried �
signs �
and �
wore �
baseball �
caps �
to �
voice �
their �
opposition. �
The �
event �
attracted �
the �
attention �
of �
many �
students, �
faculty �
and �
local �
media. �
�
�
A �
variety �
of �
speakers �
including �
students, �
professors, �
and �
other �
community �
members �
encouraged �
students �
not �
to �
stay �
silent �
but �
to �
voice �
their �
opinions. �
�
�
“Do �
you �
know �
our �
names? �
We �
are �
tomorrow �
and �
today” �
sang �
senior �
Heather �
Vance, �
one �
of �
the �
protest �
organizers. �
She �
sang �
a �
song �
urging �
students �
not �
to �
be �
silenced. �
She �
challenged �
the �
administration �
to �
“let �
us �
get �
involved �
in �
our �
education.” �
�
�
One �
of �
the �
speakers �
for �
the �
event, �
Associate �
Professor �
Sharon �
Elise �
said �
that �
when �
she �
heard �
Moore �
wasn’t �
coming �
she �
was �
“shocked.” �
She �
asked �
the �
students �
during �
her �
speech, �
“What �
is �
so �
scary �
about �
Michael �
Moore? �
Did �
I �
hear �
someone �
say �
donors?” �
�
Encouraging �
students �
to �
vote �
was �
a �
common �
theme �
among �
the �
speakers. �

CSUSM �
President �
Karen �
Haynes, �
the �
person �
largely �
responsible �
for �
the �
cancellation, �
was �
among �
those �
present �
at �
the �
protest. �
“I �
hope �
we �
will �
learn �
something.” �
When �
asked �
if �
she �
was �
Republican, �
Haynes �
said �
“That �
was �
not �
part �
of �
my �
decision.” �
�
“We �
really �
feel �
supported, �
noticed �
and �
heard,” �
said �
student �
Aamora �
Ysrael. �
When �
asked �
if �
the �
event �
will �
make �
a �
difference �
she �
said, �
“I �
don’t �
know �
if �
it �
will �
or �
not. �
The �
important �
thing �
is �
that �
the �
students �
have �
tried. �
It’s �
remarkable �
to �
see �
students �
come �
together �
in �
such �
big �
numbers.” �
�
“It �
was �
an �
incredibly �
important �
political �
lesson �
about �
the �
power �
of �
organized �
protest. �
People �
should �
remember �
because �
this �
is �
how �
change �
happens,” �
said �
Assistant �
Professor �
Lance �
Newman. �
“Students �
did �
a �
great �
job. �
I �
hope �
this �
is �
the �
beginning �
of �
a �
lively �
political �
discussion �

Last �
Wednesday, �
September �
22, �
students �
and �
staff �
gathered �
on �
the �
Kellogg �
Library �
terrace �
for �
a �
“Thank �
you �
for �
Recycling” �
celebration. �
There �
were �
games, �
prizes �
and �
almost �
500 �
hot �
dogs �
handed �
out �
at �
the �
event. �
�
�
“For �
this �
event �
we �
wanted �
to �
focus �
on �
the �
accomplishment �
which �
the �
school �
has �
reached �
with �
recycling �
and �
encourage �
students �
to �
recycle �
more,” �
said �
Carl �
Hanson �
a �
Green �
member �
who �
helped �
organize �
the �
event. �
�
� �
State �
law �
requires �
public �
institutions �
to �
recycle �
50 �
percent �
of �
their �
waste. �
As �
of �
January �
2004, �
CSUSM �
was �
recycling �
56.2 �
percent �
of �
campus �
wasted. �
CSUSM �
has �
the �
highest �
standing �
for �
recycling �
among �
CSU �
campuses, �
according �
to �
the �
Green �
Team. �
�
�
The �
campus �
recycling �
program �
has �
become �
a �
huge �
success �
because �
students �
seem �
to �
have �
become �
very �
environmentally �
conscious. �
Students’ �
willingness �
to �
recycle �
has �
helped �
our �
university �
save �
over �
$100, �
000. �
“The �
university �
doesn’t �
have �
to �
pay �
as �
much �
for �
trash �
disposal �
due �
to �
the �
increase �
in �
recycling, �
and �
subsequent �
decrease �
in �
amount �
of �
trash,” �
said �
Hanson. �
�
�
The �
goal �
of �
the �
Green �
Team �
if �
for �
CSUSM �
to �
become �
a �
waste �
free �
campus. �
Students �
and �
faculty �
can �
help �
the �
Green �
Team �
reach �
their �
goal �
by �
becoming �
more �
aware �
of �
which �
materials �
can �
be �
recycled. �
For �
example �
the �
plastic �
cups �
from �
Starbucks �
are �
recyclable. �

is �
Gerado �
Gonzales, �
director �
of �
the �
National �

(NLRC) �
and �
professor �
of �
psychology. �
�
�
“I �
enjoy �
working �
with �

said �
Gonzales. �
“My �
goal �
is �
to �
share �
research �
opportunities �
with �
students �
and �
if �
they �
can �
get �
involved �
while �
in �
the �
graduate �
program, �
this �
increases �
their �
chances �
for �
careers.” �
�
Coming �
from �
a �
large �
migrant �
hard �
working �
family, �
Gonzales �
first �
arrived �
at �
CSUSM �
in �
1991. �
As �
one �
of �
two �
professors �
in �
the �
psychology �
department �
during �
that �
time, �
he �
has �
seen �
rapid �
changes �
on �
and �
off �
campus. �
�
�
After �
graduating �
from �
CSU �
Fresno, �
Gonzales �
received �
his �
doctorate �
from �
California �
School �
of �
Professional �
Psychology. �
He �
has �
completed �
extensive �
clinical �
and �
research �
training �
in �
psychotherapy �
at �
UC �
Berkeley �
for �
two �
years. �
Gonzales �
also �
completed �
a �
post �
doctorate �
research �
fellowship �
at �
the �
University �
of �
San �
Francisco. �
�
�
Gonzales �
has �
been �
an �
adjunct �
professor �
at �
CSU �
Hayward �
for �
one �
year �
and �
UC �
Berkeley. �
Since �
1991, �
Gonzales �
has �
taught �
many �
psychology �
courses �
ranging �
from �
computer �
applications �
in �
psychology, �
in �
the �
upper �
division �
level, �
to �
graduate �
programs �
courses �
such �
as �
pre-
seminar �
in �
counseling �
and �
clinical �
psychology. �
�
�
Director �
of �
the �
NLRC �
since �
2002, �
the �
organization �
specializes �
in �
research, �
training, �
technical �
assistance �
and �
services �
that �
commit �
to �
the �
understanding �
and �
awareness �
of �
the �
United �
States �
Latino �
community. �
The �
research �
is �
conducted �
from �
community �
issues �
and �
concerns �
to �
a �
solution. �
�
�
Research �
topics �
included �
education, �
public �
policy, �
employment, �

health. �
The �
services �
include �
evaluations, �
demographic �
studies, �

Thus �
they �
are �
available �
to �
public �

�
�
“My �
encouragement �
is �
if �
you �
haven’t �
thought �
about �
graduate �
school, �
think �
about �
it,” �
said �
Gonzales. �
“It’s �
never �
too �
late �
and �
never �
too �
early �
either. �
Talk �
to �
your �
faculty �

learn �
about �
them �
and �
see �
how �
you �

work �
with �

Second �
chances �
are �
a �

We �
don’t �
always �
get �
one �
when �
we �
want �
and �
sometimes �
we �
get �
one �
when �
we �
really �
don’t �
deserve �
one. �
One �
person �
who �
wants �
a �
second �
chance �
is �
Pete �
Rose. �
Who �
knows �
if �
he �
will �
ever �
get �
one �
or �
if �
he �
even �
deserves �
one? �
�
ESPN �
released �
a �
movie �
last �
Saturday �
title �
“Hustle” �
which �
is �
the �
true �
story �
of �
Pete �
Rose’s �
life; �
ESPN �
specifically �
focuses �
on �
the �
occurrences �
of �
when �
Rose �
was �
banned �
from �
baseball �
for �
gambling �
on �
the �
sport �
while �
managing �
the �
Cincinnati �
Reds. �
�
15 �
years �
ago, �
Pete �
Rose �
was �
caught �
betting �
on �
baseball �
and �
he �
compounded �
his �
troubles �
by �
lying �
about �
it. �
Yet �
for �
some �
reason �
he �
still �
receives �
huge �
fan �
support. �
Recently �
ESPN.com �
ran �
a �
poll �
that �
asked �
if �
you �
think �
Rose �
should �
be �
reinstated �
and �
Rose �
received �
58 �
percent �
in �
his �
favor. �
�
Rose �
broke �
the �
cardinal �
sin �
in �
baseball, �
he �
spent �
time �
behind �
bars �
and �
he �
committed �
adultery. �
It �
still �
stuns �
me �
to �
see �
Rose �
receive �
so �
much �
support. �
However, �
it �
is �
easy �
to �
understand �
why. �
It �
is �
because �
he �
is �
easy �
to �
relate �
to. �
�
I �
mean �
how �
many �
of �
you �
have �
got �
in �
trouble �
and �
didn’t �
know �
what �
to �
do �
so �
you �
just �
decided �
to �
lie �
and �
hope �
for �
the �
best. �
But �
before �
you �
knew �
it, �
you �
got �
too �
caught �
up �
in �
your �
lies �
and �
eventually �
you �
got �
busted. �
That �
is �
what �
happened �
with �
Rose �
but �
just �
on �
a �
larger �
stage. �
�
I �
am �
sure �
even �
Pet �
wouldn’t �
bet �
on �
himself �
getting �
a �
second �
change �
since �
it �
has �
been �
15 �
years �
and �
his �
chances �
don’t �
look �
too �
rosey �
anymore. �

“ASI �

reconsider �

support �
for �
a �
newspaper �
that �
has �
major �
problems �
with �
its �
headlines.” �
�
I �
totally �
agree. �
Newspapers �
aren’t �
nearly �
as �
scrumptious-
diddley-
umptious �
as �
burgers �
and �
punch. �
Too �
bad, �
so �
sad �
that �
ASI �
don’t �
provide �
the �
DeNiro. �
Pride �
funds �
come �
from �
the �
IRA, �
the �
Instructionally �

fund. �
Now �
this �
does �
come �
from �
student �
fees, �
so �
Mr. �
Dickey �
still �
has �
a �
point. �
�
�
Each �
year, �
the �
Pride �
jingles �
a �
cup �
and �
begs �
for �
some �
money. �
Coupled �
with �
the �
advertisements �
we �
pick �
up, �
this �
is �
our �
only �
source �
of �
funds. �
Is �
it �
fair �
that �
every �
student �
has �
to �
give �
up �
some �
cash �
(however �
miniscule) �
to �
a �
paper �
they �
may �
not �
read? �
Hell �
no. �
�
�
On �
the �
flip �
side �
of �
things, �
nobody �
has �
had �
to �
send �
in �
that �
quarter �
they �
owe �
after �
the �

Fair �
or �
not, �
you �
gotta �
admit �
that �
having �
something �
to �
read �
(that �
isn’t �
assigned �
to �
a �
syllabus) �
creates �
a �
lot �
of �
happy �
joy-
joys �
each �
week. �
�
�
Perhaps �
we �
just �
need �
to �
work �
harder �
at �

you �

your �

It’s �
that �

�
Dear �
Editor, �
�
�
I �
am �
very �
surprised �
that �
a �
president �
of �
higher �
learning �
is �
doing �
such �
an �
ignorant �
thing �
as �
this �
(or �
maybe �
what �
she �
really �
is �
doing �
is �
going �
to �
work �
in �
Michael �
Moore’s �
favor). �
�
�
I �
am �
beginning �
to �
believe �
that �
there �
are �
some �
people �
in �
this �
country �
who �
find �
Michael �
Moore, �
his �
“partisan �
politics”, �
and �
his �
film �
Farenheight �
[sic] �
Nine-
Eleven, �
very �
�
threatening. �
It �
makes �
me �
wonder �
about �
why �
he �
is �
seen �
as �
such �
a �
threat; �
could �
it �
be �
that �
everything �
in �
his �
movie �
about �
our �
president �
is �
true? �
�
�
I �
had �
to �
see �
Michael �
Moore’s �
movie �
twice �
because �
I �
almost �
couldn’t �
believe �
what �
I �
was �
seeing �
and �
hearing! �
I �
also �
plan �
on �
buying �
his �
movie �
on �
DVD �
when �
it �
comes �
out �
in �
October; �
just �
so �
that �
I �
can �
watch �
it �
again �
and �
again �
so �
I �
can �
connect �
all �
the �

at �

�
Thank �

As �
a �

am �
outraged �
that �
anyone �
would �

on �

I �
think �
the �

with �

The �
problem �
I �
have �
with �
him �
is �
the �

He �
is �
a �

Cal State
San Marcos
reaches 15 year
a nniversary
By MICHAEL DOLAN
Prick StaffWriter
Cal State San Marcos turned
fifteen on September 1, but as
far as the campus reflected, no
one would have known. I did not
know. The rest of The Pride staff
did not know. As far as anyone
on the campus knew, the celebration was still to come.
Indeed, that is true, the celebration is still to come. But it
comes as a surprise to me the
relative hush that surrounded the
actual day.
Although I am sure that the
anniversary celebration, slated
for later in the semester, will
meet the expectations of this
auspicious event, The Pride
would like to extend a happy
belated birthday to our school
now.

Karla Ontiveros, graduate student and professor of Spanish
in the foreign language lab.
"Don't be afraid to take Spanish,"
said Karla Ontiveros. "Don't feel
stressed." To students who dread
taking a foreign language class,
Ontiveros' excitement for the subject encourages students to consider
Spanish. Ontiveros is a graduate
student in the Spanish program at
Cal State San Marcos who is also
teaching two sections of Spanish 102,
Beginning Spanish II.
Born in Tijuana, Ontiveros moved
to Lakeside when she was 16. A fter
graduating from El Capitan High
School she then moved t o Temecula
and began attending Cal State San
Marcos. She earned a Bachelors of
Arts in Spanish and is currently finishing her Masters of Arts in Spanish.
Ontiveros is thinking about pursuing a Ph.D. in linguistics, but is
unsure. A Ph.D. might take her away
f rom being able to introduce the language to students who are learning it
for the first time.
Originally, Ontiveros was an
accounting major, but found it
boring. A fter taking a Spanish linguistics class, she discovered how
interesting language can be. Now
she wants to bring the excitement of
learning a new language to others.
Ontiveros loves interacting with her
students and showing them, on a
basic level, the joys of Spanish.
Eventually, Ontiveros wants to
teach Spanish at the community college level. She makes a real effort to
understand her students. She knows
the difficulty of learning a new language. Ontiveros tries to make her
classes f un and enjoyable for her
students through creative methods
such as games and movies Ontiveros
also speaks to her students in Spanish
outside of the classroom to enhance
the learning experience. Her f un

The flash of chrome and the rumble
of engines turned the heads as car
enthusiasts of all ages and walks
of life showed up Friday night for
another cruise down Grand Avenue in
Escondido. As the lead sleds rumbled
to their positions along the old business district of Escondido, sounds of
the past filled the air. Food and drink
were enjoyed as people came to relive
the cruises of the 1950s and 60s.
The Downtown Business Association of Escondido (DBA), along with
the City of Escondido, is currently
holding the fifth season of weekly
cruises called Crusin' Grand. The
Friday cruises take place on Grand
Avenue 5 to 9 p.m., beginning the
first Friday in April and running
through the last Friday in September.
The cruise and show take place along
Grand Avenue between Orange Street
and North Ivy Street. All vehicles are
welcome to cruise Grand Avenue, but
after 4 p.m., the City and DBA request
that only pre-1974 American vehicles
park along the street. Although the
event was constructed with American
cars in mind, several foreign makes
can be seen parked along the avenue
as well as a few custom or later model
specialty vehicles.
Only pre-1974
American vehicles are judged in the
show and eligible to receive an award.
Awards are given at 8 and 8:45 p.m.
on the corner of Broadway and Grand
Avenue. There is no entry or registration fee or determined award categories.
The public is invited to bring their
pre-1974 vehicle to the cruise and
show. Parking along Grand Avenue
is free, on a first come basis, and there
is no time limit a fter 4 p.m. Parking
for non-event vehicles is available at
the many f ree public lots immediately

"And awaaaay they go," are the
words that have been floating threw
the coastal breeze in beautiful Del
Mar since July 21st.
With a view from my house of
the Del Mar fairgrounds and ocean
water I have been lucky enough to
visit the place "where the turf meets
the s urf' on more than one occasion.
As the horse racing season at Del
Mar comes to an end on September
8, so does the excitement around my
little coastal town.
Del Mar provided many fun times
this summer hanging out with old
friends and new friends all the while
meeting new interesting people.
With a lot of luck this summer
surprisingly the track provided me
and my friends a place to make some
extra cash.
The very first bet of the season
that my friend Matt placed was a $1
trifecta. A trifecta is where you are
predicting the first, second and third
1Jùn
place finishers in order. It is a low risk
and high reward bet but it rarely will
come in. However, his three horses
came in exact order and he won over
$200 on a $1 bet. The rush from seeing
that was unbelievable, but what happened before he got his money no one
could have foreseen. He thought that
his third horse didn't come in third
so he tore up his ticket in frustration
of being so close. It turned out to be
a photo finish for third and he ended
up having to pick up the pieces off the
ground and take it to the window and
beg for them to accept the ticket. As
soon as that happened I had an inkling
that this was going to be a wild track
season at old Del Mar and I sure was
right.
Every time I went to the track something new happened. With such a wide
variety of people I didn't know what
to expect when I would meet someone
new.
On one occasion I went to the track
with my friend Chantal and before we
knew it we were hanging out with a
prominent sports talk show host. By
the end of the day I had met a great
contact.
Just recently I attended the track
with Scott who is a fellow Pride staff
writer. I started talking with a jockey
who is one of the most famous jockeys
to ever ride a horse, Before I realized
it I was being chewed out for the fallacies that some newspapers report. By
the end of this conversation I saw first
hand the beef that some people have
with journalists.
I could go on about a dozen more
stories but mind you these are the stories my friends will allow me to share
as many more jaw dropping things did
occur on my visits.
Of the friends that I took for their *
very first visit to the race track they all
couldn't wait to go back. Every single
one of them would say things like,
"What a fun atmosphere" or "What a
great place to meet new people"
The famous race track saying is "Go
baby go". I would like to repeat that
one last time as the season is almost
upon completion, and I would like to
add "but come back real soon".

As the new semester begins at
Cal State San Marcos, the heavy
flow of students racing to get a seat
in class just seems to increase.
Unfortunately many of the students who have claimed a seat
are not even enrolled in the class.
Most crashers sit with their fingers
crossed as the instructor takes role.
After the instructor isfinished,the
crashers raise their nervous hands
and ask the infamous question,
"Are you taking any crashers?"
Most instructors are very generous;
however their student limit usually
ranges from 35 to 40 students per
class.
Many students get lucky, but a
great number get turned away if
they are not graduating soon or not
the lucky pick in the lottery.
So I ask myself, why is this prob-
lem just increasing instead of being
resolved? The student population
at Cal State San Marcos just keeps
growing every semester, so why
are there not enough classes and
instructors to accommodate this
ever growing University? This
problem needs to be solved before
it jeopardizes upper division and
graduating students. -

THE PRIDE
mmmmimmimmm
By RYAN JAMES
Pride StafFWriter
After experimenting with electrónica and various string arrangements over the past years, we
can't help but wonder where does
the strange yet amazing Bjork go
from here, and no the answer is not
parading around in a swan dress.
Medulla, a Latin word meaning
marrow, is the answer and also the
title for the musician's latest album,
released August 31st, 2004. Exploring and experimenting with music
is what has made Bjork unique, and
this uniqueness is demonstrated
throughout Medulla to its entirety.
The album originally consisted
of an assortment of instruments
and Bjórk's vocal tracks but upon
completion Bjork muted out the
instruments leaving solely her vocal
tracks. This decision left the album
completely acapella. Bjork then
brought on a team of human beat
boxers consisting primarily
of former The
Roots member
Rahze1,
and
an
u nheard
of
Dokaka.
Rahzel's and Dokaka's

Bjork opts to sing in her native Icelandic tongue on track 4, "Vokuro".
To close the CD, Bjork saves the
best for last in track 14 and human
beat boxing sensation, "Triumph of
Heart". Overall Medulla proves to
be a very interesting and enjoyable
album, for Bjork fans I definitely
recommend the purchase of this
album, and as for non-Bj5rk if your
feeling a bit edgy and extreme lately
(which you most likely are considering your back at CSUSM for another
fabulous semester) then Medulla is
the album for you.

You are used to being Top Dog. This month, try taking a role of servitude. Be open to
lessons in humility, tolerance, and patience.
Hero
is
onfe of the
most beautiful, amazing
films I've ever
seen, but I
also think it's
an acquired
taste - like
escargot. I'd
pitch this film
as a sort of
Crouching
Tiger, Hidden
Dragon meets
The Matrix,
but that hardly
does justice to
the
artistry
of fifth generation filmmaker
Zhang
Yimou. Zhang has a
painter's eye for color
- which becomes a character unto i t s e l f a n d
reveals the complexity
of the story like a geisha
disrobing: peeling off
the delicate layers of silk
until the bare soul of this
film is exposed.
Hero is set in China
some 2,300 years ago,
when the country was
divided into a half dozen
warring factions. Jet Li
is the assassin, Nameless, who has succeeded
in killing the Qin king's
enemies. Most of the film
involves telling the story
of how Nameless ended
up in a private audience
with the king, which
includes the best wired
martial arts sequences
ever captured on film.
Fhoto Courtesy ofMiramax films
Zhang is also generous in
sharing his artistic sensibilities in choosing his
settings, from the stark,
moonscape that is China's
interior, to a psychedelic
deciduous forest, to a rain
sequence like nothing
you've ever experienced.
My only real criticism
is that the subtitles are a
bit clunky
I'm certain
the beauty of the Chinese
language has been sadly
maimed by the translation
into English subtitles - but
the visual artistry of the
film more than makes up
for this lack.
So I'd recommend Hero
if you're the type of
person who enjoys
visual artistry in film,
who isn't annoyed
by having to read
subtitles, and who
embraces the chal-
lenges posed by storytelling from a very different
(read non-American) cultural perspective. Otherwise, just go see Collateral
and leave this film to the
escargot-eaters.
