Stanley "Tookie" Williams,
death-row inmate in San Quentin
State Prison for 24 years, is set to
die 12*01 a.m. on Dec. 13. Williams, now a Noble Peace Prize
nominee, was convicted in 1981
for murder, and has been on death
row ever since.
Dr. Lance Newman, associate
professor, Literature and Writing
Studies at Cal State San Marcos,
has helped arrange, "with a citywide coalition that includes many
organizations and individuals,"
protests and vigils against the
execution. The protests and rallies will be held at 4 p.m., on Dec.
7 and 12, outside the Hall of Justice in downtown San Diego.
"Tookie's case highlights
everything that's wrong with
the death penalty in this country," stated Newman in an email.
"Above all else, it's racist."
Newman cites "African Americans are 12 percent of the U.S.
population, but are 43 percent
Women's Studies 300L welcomes back
the classic rendition of Eve Ensler's Vagina
Monologues. Performed by students, the
fast-selling campus favorite, opens Thursday, Dec. 8, for three consecutive evenings
at 8:00 p.m. in ARTS 240.
With 29 students enrolled in the course,
17 students will stand in front of fellow students, staff, faculty and guests to bare all in
the name ofthe Vagina, according to Jennifer
Gonsaullus, adjunct professor of WS 300L.
Students not participating in the oration of
monologues will be behind the scenes, manning ticket booths and assisting in a smooth
running production.
The Vagina Fest kicks off at 7:00 p.m.
each night an hour before the show. "We
will be raffling prizes, having live music,
and featuring different vendors with unique
gifts and souvenirs," mentioned Julie Bennington, a student and performer in the
Vagina Monologues. Attendees may want
to have money on hand for refreshments,
souvenirs, must-have t-shirts and a rare holiday commodity premiering at the event, and
Vagina tree ornaments made by students in
the class. All proceeds made through ticket
sales and student-made retail items will benefit the Women's Studies Department

Vourlitis will study the ecology of transitional tropical
forests in Brazil. Transitional
tropical forest is considered
an ecotonal ecosystem, which
exists between a tropical rainforest and savanna ecosystems.
The main objective of the
research is to calculate the
links between carbon and
water cycling and then to
understand how these relations
are affected by seasonal and
interannual variations in average temperature.
One other important goal
of the project is to strengthen
Brazilian tropical ecology
research by instituting continuous research and training programs. Vourlitis and his colleagues have developed short
courses for students and faculty at Universidade Federal
de Mato Grosso that will focus
on ecophysiological theory,
instrumentation, and analysis.

blacks or Latinos are three times

information pamphlets, media
representations of persons of
color give way to racial profiling
of minorities as crime-committing individuals.
At a different booth devoted
to the racial exclusion tendencies of Mattel's pilot product
Barbie, displays highlighted the
reality of Mattel's under-representation of non-white dolls.
Forum participants Marie Ferguson, Laura Hansen, Christine
Vaughan and Breann Montes
shared the misleading efforts
Mattel has extended in attempts
at introducing cultural diversity
for Barbie and her friends. The
dolls of color are actually constructed with slightly darker skin
tones, but the dolls showcase the
identical features and eye colors
as their Caucasian counterparts,
making them difficult to distinguish as black, Latina, or Asian.
As also pointed out by Ferguson,
Barbie's little sister Kelly has a
"Friends of The World" collection leading one to believe that
her playmates originate from all
ends of the globe. The collection features girls from France,
Switzerland, Ireland and Spain.
The array features no girls from
South or Central America, Asia,
or Africa. "The collection should
be called 'Kelly's Friends of
Europe," commented Ferguson.
At a booth devoted to the deciphering of racial messages as
they are transmitted to America's
youth, Lisa Renfro commented on
the statements, that in-her view,
Disney sends to child viewers
about good versus evil.
"Evil villains are portrayed
as dark figures and the good
guys are white and ride on white
horses," said Renfro in referencing Disney's character trends.
Renfro also shared information
about Disney's tendency to feature ethnic characters such as
Pocahontas, Princess Jasmine,
or Mulan as having dark skin,
but Caucasian-like features such
as straight long hair and white
female voice-overs.
In response to the information shared at the forum, junior
Chris Sanchez proposed that
the most impacting information he received from the event
was statistics on what ethnicities
populate the prisons around our
country.

'Finals
Frenzy'in
-swing
BY KIMBERLY RAYMOND
Pride Staff Writer
Finals are a stressful time for
all students. Deadlines and the
desire for achievement create high
levels of anxiety. A successful
and stress-free exam period is not
guaranteed, but there are ways to
ease the tension.
ASI is sponsoring Finals Frenzy
event week, giving students the
opportunity to relieve the stress
that surfaces during finals week.
Monday through Wednesday,
Dec. 12-14, the Clarke will be
open until midnight, offering laptops, printer access and individual
and group study space, making
the studying process less painful
and more convenient. Coffee and
a catered "mystery" dinner will
be provided each night to boost
energy and help keep students
focused.
The Kellogg Library at Cal
State San Marcos is extending
its hours starting on Monday, the
sixth. The library will be open on
Monday through Thursday from
7-10, on Friday from 8-5, on Saturday from 10-5, and on Sunday
from 1-8. The media library
will open at 8, Monday through
Friday, and is open from 1-5 on
Saturday and Sunday. By having
that extra hour, students will be
able to be moreflexiblewith their
study schedule. Not only does the
library provide important resource
tools for studying, but it also gives
students a comfortable, relaxing
environment to study in with little
distractions.
The first thing you need to do
while studying forfinalexams is to
get yourself organized and not wait
until the last minute. You should
start studying a week in advance,
allowing yourself to budget time
for each class. It is impossible to
cram an entire semesters worth of
work into two nights of studying.
An effective way to budget your
time is to make a schedule including your work, school, sleep and
social schedule for the week leading up tofinals.This will give you
a rough idea of how much time you
have for studying. Remember that
one to two hour study sessions are
more efficient than long ones. If
your study schedule means missing out on the 3-kegger on Saturday night beforefinals,than so be
it. Finals only grace us with their
presence once a semester and
reflect all the time and energy that
we put into school. During finals
week, try to resist the urge to party
on your off days. Look at it as more
of a jump start for your upcoming
final.
The most important thing to
remember during finals week is
to stay healthy. It is better to be
well-rested than to stay up all night
cramming. Eating healthy plays a
huge role in staying healthy. Eat a
balanced diet and try to decrease
your intake of junk food; it will
help your brain focus more. Hopefully this information will help you
get through this dreaded week.

�Teaching abroad
in China
BY PATRICK B. LONG
Pride Staff Writer
Global expansion in the economic arena gives opportunity
to the areas of growth in aspects
of education and learning. The
Global Affairs office and the Literature and Writing Department
at Cal State San Marcos worked
together last summer to send
two student teachers to China.
This opportunity afforded both
Marc Scott and Richard Hunt
the chance to teach in China at
Guangxi Normal University.
The roots for the CSUSM /
Guangxi Normal University
China Teaching Fellows Program
go as far back as 1960, according
to Dr. Susie Cassel. Dr. Cassel's
father, Dr. Russell Cassel, aö
education specialist with the U.S.
State Department, and Dr. Paul
Ma, an agricultural inspector
with the United Nations, began
a friendship in the 1960s and
expressed an interest in the formation of the program. Dr. Russell Cassel knew of his daughter's
interest in China, and her love
for teaching English. He kept in
contact with Dr. Ma and sought
to arrange for both Dr. Cassel
and Dr. Dawn Formo, also of Cal
State San Marcos, to travel to
China. Dr. Susie Cassel and Dr.
Dawn Formo arrived in Guilin to
begin the China Teaching Fellows
Program in summer 2004. The
unfortunate passing of both Dr.
Russell Cassel and Dr. Ma, prior
to the trip in 2004 prevented both
of them from seeing the collaboration to its final development.
"There are hopes to expand
this program in the future beyond
faculty and graduate students to
undergraduate students," says
Dr. Susie Cassel.
"There were many things
about teaching in China that
were exciting for me, but if I had
to isolate just one it would be
the opportunity for me to teach
Chinese American literature to
Chinese students," Dr. Cassel
writes, regarding her experience
in China.
"My American students often
see works like "The Woman Warrior" and "The Joy Luck Club" as
'very Chinese,'" added Cassel.
"Conversely, Chinese students
found these works to be 'very
American' and an equal amount
of time was spent explaining
American."
The summer of 2005 saw
the return of a Cal State San
Marcos teachers to China and
the Guangxi Normal University.
This time Scott and Hunt ventured out to the school in order to
teach English.
"The most important aspect of
my time in China was the connections I made with students
over there," wrote Marc Scott..
"I stay in contact with several
students I taught in China, and I
enjoy hearing about their studies
and future plans."
"One interesting thing I took
from the experience was a heightened awareness of how people
from the United States are perceived abroad; it seemed a hurdle

Scott.
Dr. Susie Cassel feels strongly
about the experience that both
Americans and Chinese can get
from sharing cultures and experiences in our abroad programs.
"Participating in these experiences can be paradigm-altering;
sharing these experiences in the
classroom, in the hallways, and
in the community benefits us all,"
wrote Dr. Susie Cassel.
The five to six week long program for teachers will begin
again a week after the Spring
semester ends (approximately
May 21-June 30, 2006). Students
can receive up to 6 units of credit

BY NICK MCSPADDEN
Special to The Pride
Where to start
BY NICK MCSPADDEN
Special to The Pride
So where do I start? That
seems to be the first question one
should tackle as they take on their
finances.
The best place to start is to
know where you are starting
from. What are yourfinanceslike
today? Get out a piece of paper
and draw a line straight down
the middle. At the top of the left
column write "assets" and at the
top of the right put "liabilities".
So, what are assets? Start with
checking and savings accounts
(and if you have neither, then getting these accounts will be a good
startingpoint, Wells Fargo, Washington Mutual, Bank of America,
and almost all other banks have
accounts specifically designed
for college kids) and put the value
of these in the asset column. Do
you have any stocks or bonds? If
so, these are assets and should
be placed in the, you guessed it,
asset column. If you do not know
the current value of the bond your
grandmother bought you for your
first birthday, go to http://www.
publicdebt.treas.gov and look it
up. 401(k)'s, IRA's, home equity,
current market value of any vehicles, jewelry, home furnishings,
et cetera, should all be included.
Basically, if you turned everything you have into cash, how
much would you have? This is the
value of your assets.
Liabilities are the opposite of
assets. This includes credit card
debt, student loan debt, auto
loans, home loans, any unpaid
bills, and anything else that you
owe to another party (a 'party'
being a bank or your mom... not
what we college kids do so well at
the beginning of every weekend,
a.k.a. Thursday).
Total assets, less total liabilities, will be your current net
worth. Hopefully this is a positive
number, but it is usually a negative; the goal is to make a positive
number grow as fast as possible or
shrink a negative number to zero
a.s.a.p. Easier said than done, but
at least an understanding of your
current position will allow you to
take steps in the right direction.
Soon we'll discuss your personal cash flow and how to maximize its potential. For now, let
me leave you with a quick tip.
If, at the end of every month
you have no money left over
because you paid all your bills
and had a little fun, consider a
couple options to increase your
monthly cash flow. First, if you
receive a tax refund at the end
of every year, call your human
resources representative and
adjust your tax withholdings. A
yearly refund of $500 roughly
translates into an extra $40 a
month in your pocket. Also, shop
around for different auto insurance quotes and compare rates.
This can reveal a huge savings
you may never have noticed.
Every paycheck is the beginning of the same
cycle: money in, bills paid, fun had, now wait
to get paid again. Many affectionately call
this cycle The Rat Race, but it seems we are
more like the mouse running in the wheel. We
work hard and run fast, but we are not going
anywhere. My advice is to get off the damn
wheel; but how? In the last article we identified our current net worth by subtracting liabilities from assets. This time we are going to
calculate our monthly cash flow.
Cashflowis the cycle that begins with each
paycheck and is not quite as easy to determine as our net worth. Get out a piece of
paper and draw a line down the middle again.
On the left side we will identify our monthly
income. This includes take home pay (your
income after taxes and any fees or union
dues), dividends from stocks, bonuses, or
even money your mom gives you on a regular
basis. Do not be general with these numbers.
The more exact you are the better.
The right column, money-out, can also be
designated as "expenditures". This can be
a little tricky. There are the obvious expenditures: rent, food, utilities, transportation
costs, credit card bills, cell phone, but there
are also the more obscure expenditures: medical bills, new clothes, new tires for the car,
gym fees, tuition and books. This list can go
on and on and these expenditures that do not
occur each month must be broken down to a
"per month" basis. Also, make sure to include
fun and entertainment as an expense. Be realistic with these numbers and DO NOT sugarcoat it.
Finally, total each column and subtract the
total of the right column from the total of the
left. This number is the surplus (if positive)
or deficit (if negative) of your monthly cash
flow. Basically, after all is said and done, how
much money do you have or how much do
you owe?
Now you are in one of three categories:
your income is greater than your expenses,
your expenses equal your income, or your
expenses exceed your income. If you are in
either of the last two categories, try to identify where your money is escaping. Are you
spending too much on fast food, clothes,
fun...? Are you genuinely doing everything
you can to minimize expenditures? Set your
priorities with an understanding that moneyin must "at least" match money-out, but if
the only expense that is pushing you into the
red is education costs, take out a student loan
and stay in school. These losses are acceptable and you will recoup them later in life, but
every dollar you borrow today is $1.25 (not
exactly but you know what I mean) you will
pay back tomorrow, so borrow as little as possible and avoid racking up credit card debt.
A quick tip for those with high credit card
bills: on the back of your credit cards is a
phone number for customer service. Call it
and ask them to lower your interest rate, you'd
be surprised how often they say yes.
Catch eye
BY LILLIAN POZOS
Pride Staff Writer
For some reason I can never make it on
time to my History 201 class on Mondays and
Wednesday. So I arrive 5 minutes late and sit
in the back of the class, the last row next to the
wall. Sitting to the side of me are always three
friends, Matt, Eric and Karen. Matt, 10, has
always for some reason caught my eye, maybe
it's the lip piercing. I don't know. A few weeks
ago I noticed Matt working in the Parking
Information Booth and had seen him many
times following that day around campus.
I had never spoken to Matt before, and to
my surprise he had lived in the University
Village last year, as did L I sat down with him
on Wednesday afternoon when he was working at the Info Booth and questioned him on
life in general.
h I learned that Matt is a really busy guy. He
told me that he worked two other jobs in addition to the booth, one at American Eagle, the
other at the front desk of the UVA. On top
of that he is also Treasurer for the Residence
Hall Council.
Matt told me that he "was just your normal
college student" that goes out and likes to
have fun. He loves going to clubs and likes
to go to Hollywood with his friends on Thursday nights to attend "Tiger Heat", an 18 and
up dance club.
I asked if he had any special passions and
his face lit up.
Volleyball, anything do with volleyball. He
says he lives and breaths it.
Amazing what you find out about a person
if you just sit and talk with them.

In news writing we follow a concept called The Inverted Pyramid. The
inverted pyramid says to write the most
general facts in the beginning of your
story, gradually going deeper into specifics as the article wears on. Thanks
to the return of the inverted Christmas
tree this year, I now associate Christmas with reporting to the masses.
Upside-down trees were common
in Europe during the twelfth century.
Europeans hung their Christmas trees
from the ceiling and watched them
dangle there for a few weeks during the
holiday season.
The current inverted trees are all artificial and can be hung from the ceiling
or shoved into a base by their pointed
tips. They are thought to be more logical than the typical trees, as they, take
up lessfloorspace. But the more popular sales pitch is that the upside-down
trees allow more room for presents.
Considering that the typical inverted
tree costs around 600 dollars, I am
guessing the children living in such an
affluent household can do without piles
and piles of presents.
There is another, more subtle problem with this flip-flopping of foliage.
The Christmas tree's shape is symbolic.
It is said to be pointing toward Heaven.
When the tree is turned upside-down
for reasons of practicality, it is symbolically pointing toward Hell. So, in
addition to taking the "Christ" out of
the "Merry Christmas" greeting (I predict that next the ACLU will claim mistletoe promotes sexual harassment, but
that is a different article), the tree has
turned quite sinister.
Lately Christmas has become less
about magic and tradition and more
about economics and logic. It is more
logical to conserve space in Christmas
tree-filled department stores. It is more
economically beneficial to buy extra
presents to put under our trees.
Yet there is a price to pay for < &
5r
pragmatism. Our consumer-friendly
trees won't have stars, our children will
be spoiled beasts, and our houses will
be perpetually absent of the smell of
pine.

Pull out a pot and add one cup ambition, three teaspoons of soul, lA pint
creativity, a dash of hot sauce, the color
blue and alas, what do you have? No,
this is not a recipe for grandma's fruitcake, rather this is a brief rundown of
all of the elements that comprise the
acoustic soul pop singer Alyssa Jacey.
Alyssa is a new artist that is rising fast
right under our CSUSM noses, and her
spirit is taking our campus, as well as
the rest of San Diego County, by storm.
Alyssa's career began when she
started attending karaoke in November 2004. Upon witnessing her talents,
Alyssa's friends advised her to make
something of her vocal abilities, and
with this notion Alyssa began pursuing
music. By January 2005 she was recording professionally with no prior vocal
training.
This year proved promising for Alyssa
as she gave her first performance at the
San Diego County Fair in June and has
since played over 40 shows at venues
such as The Belly Up Tavern in Solana
Beach, RT's Longboard Grill in Pacific
Beach, Canes in Mission Beach, and
at the CSUSM campus promoting for
groups such as Alpha Kappa Psi.
"I used to sing for people when I
served in restaurants," said Alyssa,
crediting her success to persistent selfpromotion. Other methods of gaining publicity and recognition included
distribution of her music and business
cards at shows. Her popular Myspace
page offers samples of her inusic and a
calendar of upcoming shows.
"I think the majority of succeeding at any talent is to have dedication,"
Alyssa reflected as she shared the reasons for why she feels she has come
so far since the start of the year. Major
inspiration comes from artists such as
Shawn Colvin, Sarah McLachlan, and
Tracy Chapman as well as bands like
Matchbox Twenty. When asked if she
considered herself a role model, Alyssa
answered yes, justifying her response
with recalls of mistakes of her previous situations. She states, "I've been to
the bottom, and climbed back up." This
low came in the form of living in Los
Angeles, aspiring to be a dancer, but
falling in with the wrong crowd and
thus losing focus. Since leaving Los
Angeles she has gotten back into school
full time and regained control of her
life as she dedicates herself to the pursuit of her career. "Don't let seemingly
large obstacles intimidate you," is what
Alyssa had to say after moving off track
but recovering.
On the verge of turning 24 years old,
Alyssa Jacey has singing, songwriting,
dance, choreography, and guitar skills
under her belt, and she still finds time
to do other things with her life such as
teaching dance, as well as volleyball,
soccer, and surf in the summer. She
finds it difficult to juggle school and her
career, but because she believes she is
meant to sing Alyssa strives to fit everything into her busy schedule.
Currently, Alyssa is working to have
her CDs sold in Starbucks coffee shops
as well as being added to Starbucks'
artist tour that will be happening this
winter. Alyssa will be performing three
shows for the Vagina Monologues at
CSUSM on Dec. 8-10. For information on Alyssa Jacey's upcoming shows
visit www.alyssajacey.com and www.

is to extend the academic and

a gateway for students who desire
to obtain a degree but have not
been admitted to the university
yet.
Academic credit can be
obtained through Open University, Special Sessions, and the
Over 60 Program.
"Open University allows
members of the community to
take courses from the regular
Cal State San Marcos catalog of
offerings on a space-available
basis without going through the

any) for the courses selected,

a degree program, are considering re-entering an academic program, or want to take courses
besides those offered through
Extended Studies.
Through Special Sessions,
Extended Studies offers regular
Cal State San Marcos courses
at times other than the regular
semesters. These courses may
be offered concurrently with the
regular semesters, but these special sections are designed primarily for non matriculated students.
There is no limit to the number
of Special Sessions courses a student may take; however, only 24
semester units may be applied
toward an undergraduate degree.
Through the Over 60 Program,
California residents age 60 or
older may enroll in any regular Cal State San Marcos class
during the academic year on a
space-available basis at a special,
low rate per semester. Kenny
explains that, "they may enroll in
credit or non-credit courses and
can even earn a degree."
According to Kenny, the classes
offered through Extended Studies are determined by listening
to the needs of current and prospective students, from learning
what is needed in the work force
through Extended Studies' memberships in various organizations
such as the North County Chambers of Commerce and the North
County Economic Development
Council, and from local hospitals
and teacher associations.
Winter session runs through
May 2006 and if certain classes
have a high demand from students, they will most likely be
offered again during the next session.
"Extended Studies is the only
continuing education provider
affiliated with a four year institution of higher education in North
County and due to the anticipated
population increase in San Diego
and Riverside Counties over the
next few years, more classes may
be offered to accommodate this
growth," stated Kenny. Extended
Studies' classes are usually held
on campus in the Foundation
Classroom Building in rooms
104 and 106 but there are some
classes available off-campus.
Class fees vary and there is
a 30 percent discount on most
classes to CSUSM employees and
a 15 percent discount to CSUSM
alumni. Students can register for
classes or obtain class information on Extended Studies through
their web site www.csusm-es.org
%or by calling their-office at 760750-4020.
Students may also stop by the

�Tukwut Transcript helps students build resume
BY SHELLY MONROE
Pride Staff Writer
The Tukwut Transcript serves
as an official record of CSUSM
extra-curricular and co-curricular activities or accomplishments
of undergraduate and graduate
students. Gezai Berhane, of Student Life and Leadership said,
"This program started in an
effort to recognize our students'
involvement in so many extracurricular and co-curricular
activities through their involvement in student organizations
and service learning classes."
The transcript, signed and
stamped by the vice president of
StudentAffairs, can be used to
supplement scholarship, graduate school, and job applications.
"The program started to be implemented in the year 1998 but the
process of starting this program
started at least a year before that,
said Berhane.
Students who want to begin
building their Tukwut Transcript
must pick up data entry forms
and transcript requests at the Stu-
ASI
dent Life and Leadership office
in Craven Hall4116. Students
need to submit transcript entries
to the SLL office by the end of
the semester following the activity. For example, i fa club puts on
events throughout the fall semester, the submission form must be
filled out by the end of spring
semester.
For submissions describing
ongoing involvement with a club
or program, a new entry must be
submitted for each year of membership. For example, if a student
is the president of a club during
the 2001-2002 academic year,
the "Leadership" entry should
be submitted to SLL by the end
of the spring semester in 2002.
Even if a student remains active
in a club from year to year, a new
entry form must be submitted at
the end of each academic year.
An on-campus faculty advisor
or staff member will validate the
entry upon submission. If a student is having problems obtaining a valid signature for the entry
form, contact Julie Wright in
the Student Life and Leadership
office. It will take the office 35 working days to process each
transcript request. The SLL
office will not accept entries that
describe involvement or participation that occurred more than
a year prior to application. Each
student is eligible to receive five
free copies per year. Additional
copies are available for a nominal
cost. The Tukwut Transcript will
be held indefinitely. It is up to the
student to request extra copies of
the transcript prior to leaving the
university.
The transcript is divided into
nine sections:
-Career Development:
Includes part-time university
employment, internships, and
involvement in professional organizations.
-Community Service/
Service Learning:
Includes
campus supervised volunteer service on- and off-campus, either as
part of a service learning course
or coordinated through the Office
of Service Learning.
-Honors/Awards/Schol-
arships: Includes any type of
formal recognition given by the
College - Dean's List, Outstanding Student Awards, etc.
- Leadership/Student
Organizations:
Includes any
leadership role or membership
position held for at least one
semester in a campus club or
organization.
-Presentations/Travel:
Includes written or oral presenr
tations that can be verified by a
faculty or staff member but are
not required for a course. It also
includes student travel or participation/involvement in a conference sponsored through university channels.
-Published Writing/Creative Activities/Other: Includes
published scholarly or creative
works, documentary productions,
media publications or works, and
computer projects.
-Recreation/Athletics:

�Jock talk with Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
Several
weeks ago in
my
COMM
360 class, Professor Fredi
Avalos
said
something
that caught my
attention: "Do you want to be
right, or do you want to change
the world?"
What I think she was saying
was, what are your intentions
when you set out to do something? What are you trying to
accomplish? Are you trying to
prove yourself right or are you
trying to make the world a better
place?
I think most people in sports,
especially sports writers, are just
trying to prove themselves right.
I certainly have done my fair
share of that. I know that proving myself right doesn't do anything but boost my own ego, but
all you have to do is ask some of
my friends to realize how sure of
myself I am already.
I look around the sports world
and see plenty of people who
have an influential voice, but
don't use it for positive things.
Can you imagine if Tiger Woods
or Michael Jordan spoke out on
social issues the way Charles Barkley does? Jordan would rather
pimp his clothing line and latest
book on Oprah's show, while
Tiger goes on the Tonight Show
to talk about his new video game.
My voice only goes out to several
thousand people at the moment,
but I am not going to sit back and
just talk about easy issues that
don't make you think.
I don't always want to write
about what the Chargers should
do with Phillip Rivers (trade
him), or which player Kobe
Bryant needs to win a championship (a decent center a la Amare
Stoudemire, which clearly isn't
going to happen since he is locked
up long term). You can get those
topics from "Sports Illustrated"
or "ESPN". From those outlets
you can't get someone like me
talking about how the NHL and
NBA are just another form of
segregation.
I have received more e-mail
this semester than in the two
previous combined. I have also
had a lot of people approach me
on campus in an attempt to tear
into me regarding the topics that I
have written about, most notably
regarding my take on homosexuals in athletics.
Apparently, there are some
people who don't appreciate the
topics that I cover. Take Evan
Pellecchia, for example, "Write
more about sports," said Pellecchia. "Not issues that are dealt
with everyday with a sports
swing to it."
I think Pellecchia's concern
can be addressed with a phrase
that Professor Avalos uses quite
often, "Open your eyes folks". If
you can't see parts of everyday
life in sports, then I worry for
you.
I know that many people turn to
entertainment such as sports and
music for an escape from everyday life. The same people who
are telling me they don't want
to read about racism and homosexuality in sports are probably
the same people who tell Kanye
West to stick to rapping about
"gold diggers", stop rapping
about Jesus, and don't talk about
the President.
I have lost count of the e-mails
that question my sports knowl-
edge. Take Cassandra Lelek,
for example, "As I assume you
are the sports 'go-to' guy," said
Lelek, "It would be nice if you
actually knew something about
sports before you wrote about
them."
Let me address the concern of
Lelek and so many of you. Do
research before you send personal attacks my way. Go do a
google news search on "Joshua
Sandoval". Then see what pops
up. I think if my work appears in
the "San Diego Union-Tribune",
then I might actually know a
little something about sports and
journalism.
r
Then there is the wonderful
e-mail that I received that wants
me dismissed. "As an avid reader
of The Pride, I finally decided
to take it upon myself to call for
your dismissal as a sports columnist," said someone by the name
of Mike. He didn't use a CSUSM
e-mail address or give a last
name; probably because he knew
he would end up in a future article or has a fear of running into
me on campus.
What's funny about the developments over the semester is I
now realize that people actu-
ally read this. I knew I had a few
loyal readers (shout out to Jade
Zwinger). However, now that the
issues are more controversial,
the readers are coming out like
homosexual basketball players. I
could care less if you hate what
I have to say, just as long as you
read it.
I spend a lot of time around
comedians and I now understand
what so many of them say. "You
don't remember the thousands
of great sets that you have. You
remember the few where you
were booed off the stage." As you
can tell, the comments that stick
out in my head are the ones that
tell me I suck.
However, I will be back next
semester because of comments
from people like John Jacobs:
"Your column in The Pride is so
hilarious," said Jacobs. "You're
a funny guy and a great writer.
Keep up the good work, bro! "
Send
all
comments
to
Sando026@csusm.edu. I do
respond to every single e-mail
that I receive. However, you may
want to be careful what you say,
now that you see that there is a
possibility you could be quoted.
Women's Volleyball
Athletes p repare for spring sports
BY HEATHER ZEMAN
Pride Staff Writer
With the fall season coming to
an end, many of the spring athletes are just getting ready for the
games to begin. Women's volleyball is preparing for its second
season here at CSUSM. Women's volleyball is an ASI sponsored team, with the hopes of
becoming a division sport. Tryouts were held at the end of September, when the team picked up
four new girls for a total of 12 on
the team.
The traditional volleyball
season starts on January 17, but
the team is currently competing
in tournaments in southern California. Team captain Melissa
Hughes said, "The tournaments
are to get out and to play teams
that aren't necessarily in our
league, and to get playing time
in." The ladies' next tournament
will be at San Diego State University on Dec. 10 and 11. Teams
will be coming from schools such
as UCLA, Berkeley, and Arizona
State University. Following this
tournament, the ladies will have
about a month off from games.
The team will continue preparing for the league tournaments to
start up on Jan. 17 and continue
to be held every Tuesday night
for about eight weeks.
CSUSM's women's volleyball falls under the San Diego
or Southern California league.
Other teams in the league are
SDSU, UCSD, Pt. Loma, and
USC. These teams will also play
each other at Regionals and have
the option to attend Nationals in
Salt Lake City in April. Another
anticipated tournament will be
held over spring break in Las
Vegas. Last season, the women's
team traveled to Las Vegas along
with 37 other teams. CSUSM
ended up taking 12th place overall.
Melissa Hughes is anticipating
an exciting season to come. "We
have a very dedicated team. We
are each otheris best friends and
that makes for a great chemistry
on the court as well."
Although the ladies are preparing for the season already, another
tryout will be held in the near
future. The team will be losing
four girls to the study abroad
program. For more information
regarding the team and upcoming
tryouts, contact Melissa Hughes
at hughe018@csusm.edu.

�Podhead
Student retrospective
A personal trip to the
musical highlife
BY J.R. SAPP
Pride Staff Writer
BY JESSICA DAMBKOWSKI
Pride Staff Writer
They walk around CSUSM everyday, and we all
see them, the "Podheads". You know, the iPod people
who are "tuned" to their music all the time.
I decided to become one of them and go undercover
to investigate the world of the Podheads. I borrowed
my boyfriend's iPod, and the next morning had a
quick self-learning session on how to work the tiny
machine, before I struck out in the musical underworld. Listening to a new techno song, I took to the
stairs. The hike at 8:45 a.m. was, as ridiculous as it
sounds, fun! The music made my heart start pumping and by the end of the trip to Sociology 320,1 was
really "amped" for class to start.
At my usual break between classes I tuned myself
again and set off for ACD's open access computer lab.
I counted four other Podheads on the way over, and
wondered what sort of music their lives were jamming to. I was actually having a good time just walking around campus and listening to the music I normally had to leave at home or in the car.
I couldn't help thinking how awesome it was to
have my life's own personal soundtrack playing
everywhere I went. That is what is so great about
being Podheads, each and every person has a personal soundtrack.
At the end of my day I seriously did walk PAST my
car. I was so pleasantly distracted I forgot where I had
parked my car.
In the end, while I don't have an iPod of my own,
being a Podhead for a day was definitely an experience worth repeating. It was so much f un, I'll probably put the iPod on my Christmas list. Music for life
anyone?
The best mother is the one who, by
virtue of doing a good job, renders
herself obsolete - not in the hearts of
her children, but in the daily minutia, the chores, and childrearing that
consume her days and drive her a
little crazy. As the time of my obsolescence approached, I decided to go
back to college and finish the degree
I had started to earn some (well,
many) years ago.
I did the paperwork, filled out the
forms, and ordered my transcripts
and SAT scores from the archives
of various high schools, community
colleges, and universities in another
state. By the grace of God, and the
kindness of Kitty Lucero-Egger,
who reviewed my dismal transcripts
and let me in anyway, I was accepted
into CSUSM with a 2.0 GPA. My
college-age daughter gave me a brief
and depressing explanation of why,
no matter how many classes I took to
complete my degree, my GPA would
never recover from my wasted youth.
But I persevered, kicked my Type
A personality into high gear, and
earned some report cards that were
worthy of posting on my refrigerator
next to those of my children.
And so I am graduating, finally, at
the end of this semester. We autumn
graduates don't warrant a ceremony,
a cap, a gown, or the privilege of
shaking the hands of our professors
as we are handed our diploma covers.
I guess there just aren't enough of us.
It would probably be anti-climactic
to walk the line in the spring, and I
wouldn't want to steal the thunder
from my younger daughter who will
be graduating then. So although I'll
never make the valedictorian speech
(see GPA discussion above), there are
some people I would thank for helping me along on this journey. (Cue
"Pomp and Circumstance.")
To my husband - for all the dinners I didn't cook, the shirts I didn't
iron, and the hours I spent studying, thanks for apt complaining too
much. You may never really understand what this has all meant to
me, but you try to, and that's good
enough.
To my daughters, Jennifer and
Stephanie, who have encouraged
me every single step of the way, I
couldn't have done this without your
kind words and absolute conviction
that I'm the smartest woman you
know.
To my son Michael, thank you for
the laughs and for doing your own
laundry. And to my son's favorite
line - "It's taken you almost thirty
years to get your degree and you're
not even a doctor!"
To my professors - I think you
know how important this is or you
wouldn't be doing what you do. You
taught me that I could stay the course,
and that improving my writing was
a worthy endeavor. To my fellow
scholars - thanks to every one of you
who never thought twice about sitting in class next to a woman twice
your age. Thanks for your willingness to answer my honest questions
with thoughtful answers, and for letting me engage in the academic process as one of you.
Tuition, books, & parking $10,000. Gas, mileage, and wear and
tear (on me and my car!) - $1,000.
Earning a degree after 27 years priceless.

Letter from the Editor-in-Chief
BY PATRICK B ; LONG
Pride Editor-in-chief
This "Letter From the Editor"
will be read by more students
than my first. The is only by
the mere fact that The Pride has
definitely picked up readers this
semester, and it is all thanks to
the new staff and writers.
Collaboration is important in
the making of a great newspaper.
Checks and balances, like that of
a good government, are needed.
We made some mistakes, but we
learned from them and moved
on.
So, to all of those who participated in The Pride this year,
I thank you. It is a daunting task
to put out a weekly paper, and it
takes more than whining about
the quality of the work; it takes
courage to stand up and do something about it.
If you, the readers, know a staff
writer, or a student who regularly participated in the efforts of
making this a great school paper,
I ask you to thank them.
Now I shall name names. First
and foremost, Jason Encabo is
the reason the paper looks so
good. His eye for layout is only
second to his dedication to getting the job done, no matter how
long it takes. He stuck it out into
the late nights until the work was
doner sometimes the newspaper
didn't make it out until midnight
on Monday for Tuesday delivery. Christine "this story has to
go in" Vaughan, Zachary J. "sit
down, we're going to edit this
together" Simon, and Erin "oh
my gosh, that's so cute" Young
make the paper diverse enough
to attract a large audience. I look
forward to another semester
with them.
Last, I want to thank both
Dr. Anthony Hurst and Cindy
Hanson, who took time to listen
to writers complain about me.
If everybody is happy, I'm not
doing a good job.
Now it's time for the call to join.
COMM and LTWR 316 are waiting for you. Yes, it's late at night,
and ye,s you'll work very hard,
but let's be narcissistic about
it, you'll get to see your name
in print. Even if you do not join
the class, feel free to join us next
semester at ACD 404 Tuesdays at
5 p.m. The first hour is dedicated
to assigning stories and gathering
story ideas.
TO m ake this a better paper,
I'm seeking more beat writers. No, not the next Kerouac,
but writers that cover only one
specific area. This semester we
had "Jock Talk with Josh" and
a couple of newcomers to the
fall '05 Pride team, "Robbins
Report" and "Cash Corner."
These topics cover the political climate on campus, finance
strategies for students, and, of
course, sports. Antoinette Johnson will be returning as our new
police liaison.
We are looking for students
who can cover other areas as well.
This would be a weekly column
that entails a topic that you are
knowledgeable about. Areas of
interest for the paper include
campus sports, business aiid the
business department, art and the
art department, and movies. As
always, the editors are here to
help the writing process if you
are not comfortable.
Next semester also welcomes
the arrival of the 2006 Pride Literary Supplement (PLS). This
publication comes out every
spring semester and is made up
of art work, poems, short stories,
and other art related material.
The bad news is, since the
change of the email system, we
lost all of the submissions from
this semester. We need everybody who submitted to re-submit
their work. Please place "PLS"
in the subject line of the email to
pride@csusm.edu.
Coming from o divorced family
BY LILLIAN POZOS
Pride Staff Writer
Coming from a divorced
family, the holidays have always
been a yo-yo fiasco for me.
When I was a child, my holidays were literally cut straight
down the middle. I would be
handed off at either midnight or
noon to the next parent in a relative's drive-way.
For Christmas and New
Year's, it would be one parent
on the Eve and another on the
day, with a switch off at midnight on Christmas or a switch
off at noon on New Year's Day.
And, oh, so much bickering in
between.
All my holidays from the
ages of five to seventeen were
handled that way, except one,
Thanksgiving. I went with
whichever parent it would be
most convenient for because
of my week-long school vacation. It became especially dif-
ficult when my parents fought
over Thanksgiving. I was left
in the middle with no say, even
though they posed the tricky
question of "where do you want
to go?"
Growing up with Thanksgiving as a literal toss up, I am left
today with so much confusion
and a growing dislike of holidays in general. Now that I am
an adult, and living away from
home, I am now able to make
decisions on my own, what am
I to do when Thanksgiving and
other holidays, like Easter, have
been a sole parent holiday my
entire life?
I'm in my third year of college, and, sadly, I have learned
the hard way that no matter what
decision I make, no parent will
be happy.
And so again, I enter another
holiday season with the same
growing discontent.
My parents don't understand
how nerve-wracking it is for
me to choose where to spend
the holidays. I know I am not
alone with my distraught feelings of the holidays, because
many other students of CSUSM
deal with similar issues. The
conflict may come from being a
child of divorce, or just being a
student, trying to juggle college
life and family time. It basically
becomes an issue of priorities.
Who's more important in your
life? Who deserves your time
the most?

that Harry's mother showed when
she was killed many years prior.
Selfless sacrifice is what Lilly
Potter and Harry exhibit, Lilly
on the night of her tragic death,
and Harry at least once a year at
Hogwarts.
The ultimate message, in both
the book and the movie, resonates with moviegoers and readers alike. It is the belief that the
common and ordinary man can
overcome obstacles with courage and selfless sacrifice. It is
because of this underlying idea —
the peril, kindness and wit — that
both cast and story portray, that
makes this movie the best of the
lot so far.

�Holiday movie
BY ALFRED CHU
Pride Staff Writer
In the month of December, when kids
are off from school and parents take off
from work, one of the things to do during
the holidays is go see a mope, or maybe
two. In the same month, the year's best
family oriented comedies, as well as
films that would become front runners
for the Academy Awards and other film
recognitions, are released. But what's
coming out in the following weeks?
In the science fiction/fantasy corner,
we have "The Chronicles of Narnia:
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe."
Based on the novel by C.S. Lewis, four
siblings enter a door that travels them to
a fantasy world filled with elves, dwarfs
and giants. "The Chronicles of Narnia:
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe"
graces theaters on Dec. 9.
Let's move on to the action genre.
"King Kong," need I say more? Master
storyteller Peter Jackson expands his
vision and CGI technology in this
highly anticipated remake. A filmmaker
(Jack Black), his leading lady (Naomi
Watts), and a group of explorers travel
to a remote island where a mythological
monster lives. "King Kong" invades theaters on Dec. 14.
If independent films are more of your
taste, go see "Brokeback Mountain,"
starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath
Ledger. Directed by Ang Lee, same
director as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden
Dragon," and ''Brokeback Mountain" is
about two cowboys that fall in love, but
deal with the consequences of having a
homosexual relationship. We've recently
seen more independent films being recognized, this would be no exception.
If you're into comedies, "Fun with
Dick and Jane" has great potential. Starring Jim Carrey and Tèa Leoni in a 1977
remake, where as a married couple,
commit robberies to pay the bills. "Fun
with Dick and Jane" hits theaters on
Dec. 21.
For the drama and romance crowd,
"Memoirs of a Geisha" is the obvious
choice. Geishas are females trained at
a young age to dance, act and sing to
entertain wealthy men. Ziyi Zhang plays
the geisha where she falls in love with a
powerful and wealthy man (Ken Watanabe). I predict Oscar nominations for
Zhang and Watanabe. Already released,
"Memoirs of a Geisha" expands into a
wider release on Dec. 23.
For the straight forward drama fans,
Steven Spielberg's "Munich" looks
promising. Based on the 1972 Munich
Olympics, where 11 Israeli athletes
where killed, authorities are assigned
to find the suspected 11 Palestinians
involved. "Munich" stars Eric Bana and
cruises into theaters Dec. 23.
If a battle epic as well as drama is
your cup óf tea, check out "The New
World." Directed by
Terrencfc Malick, "The
New World" is about
the explorer John Smith
(Colin Farrell), who
travels to America
and encounters Native
Americans where differences erupt into
warfare. Hopefully,
Farrell will shed away
his "Alexander" debacle. "The New World"
explodes into theaters
on Christmas day.
My recommendations are based on
the film trailers I've
viewed, interviews
by the filmmakers,
the filmmakers past
reputations, promotional materials, and
aspects of the films
(special
effects,
storyline, etc.) that
make them stand
out.
To see the trailers and view other
media, visit each
film's respective
website.

Holiday getawa

Pride Staff Writer

When the winter winds begin to blow
and the semester is coming to an end, it's
time to start planning a f un holiday getaway; be it romantic or a family affair,
there's an excursion for everyone.
What better time to take a little trip
when the stresses of finals are over and
the holidays are just around the corner? It
doesn't have to be a long extended vacation; it can be a quick weekend jaunt to
leave you feeling refreshed and ready
for the holiday season. Traveling doesn't
have to be stressful; there are plenty of
getaways that are fabulous, but are close
to home so airport chaos can be easily
avoided. Here are four great suggestions
that are close to home to inspire you get
up and get going.
Idyllwild: For those looking to heat
things up when the weather gets cold,
places like Quiet Creek Inn might just do
the trick. Keep in mind, this is for adults
only, rather it's for loving couples that need
a little isolation or for relaxing with best
friends. These cozy cabins are located on
Strawberry Greek and have no televisions
or telephones so there are no interruptions.
All cabins have wood burningfireplacesto
snuggle up next to. Sit and enjoy the sounds
of the creek and the smell of pine trees on
your very own private deck, or upgrade to
the deluxe suit and sit on the deck in the
hot tube. If you want to venture in town
there are plenty of shops and restaurants
to check out, there is even a pottery painting shop so you can make your own souvenir. Otherwise, you can do nothing but sit
by the fireplace, drink hot coco, or maybe
^^
enjoy a nature walk on one
the many trails through the woods and
come back to your cabin to dip your toes
inthejacuzzi.
Del Coronado Island: If you're looking for something the whole family can
enjoy, as well as love birds, Hotel Del
Coronado has some f un holiday activities for all ages. The hotel is full of holiday cheer with its 50,000 twinkle lights,
the new outdoor ice skating rink that over
looks the ocean, a sleigh ride and of course
s'more roasting. Just because you brought
the children doesn't mean you can't have
some alone time. Call the hotel babysitting
service and have a romantic dinner with a
night stroll along the beach. Don't worry;
the kids won't be bored with the room's 26
television channels and a Nintendo Game
Cube.
Temecula: Once again adults only,
but what better way to ring in the holiday season than a weekend trip to one of
Temecula Valley's many wineries? The
South Coast Winery Resort and Spa is a
great place to spend the weekend. Forget
about all the holiday stress with a day of
wine tasting, once a little tipsy walk back
to your villa for a little rest and romance.
Each villa is separated from the other
villas, so there's plenty of privacy; each
has a fireplace and jacuzzi tub. If your ing or skiing down one of many trails.
feeling up to it, try out their spa and get a Golden Bear Cabins are only minutes
relaxing massage or swim in their heated away from Snow Summit, and they welcome the whole family, even pets. There's
pool, which plays underwater music.
Big Bear: There are many resorts in Big a playground, basketball and volleyball
Bear and plenty of activities for the whole courts, wireless internet, television with a
family. For the adventurous types, Snow DVD player and video rentals so the family
Summit Mountain Resort is a great place can cuddle up in the comfort of their cabin
to get your energy out while snow board- after a long day of activities.

Pay increase accompanies fee increase

Karen S. Haynes salary was
$203,376, but with the salary
increase she now brings home
$230,232, not including her
$60,000 dollar annual housing
allowance and a $1,000 monthly
car allowance. As a result, many
campus presidents now get a
housing allowance that's larger
than the starting salary of most
assistant professors.
"Realistically, this won't have
much effect on students financially. For example, at CSUSM,
our President got a raise of
$27,000. If you divide that by
approximately 7000 students
that means that it cost each student about $4. So it's likely to
have a greater effect on students'
morale than their pocketbooks,"
says Dr. Linda Holt, chairperson
for Academic Senate.
. The trustees recognize compensation for presidents and
system executives as a key element in the California State
University's success. The Board
of Trustees say that the ability to offer a competitive salary
increase is critical to the CSU's
ability to recruit and retain key
executives who are competent
and visionary leaders. Higher
education in California shares in
a national system that has a very
limited pool of qualified executives, and not only do we compete with these key institutions
for new executives, but CSU
executives are under pressure
to consider highly competitive
offers from these same institutions. The executive salary
increase for campus presidents
and system executives has the
objective of maintaining a competitive market position.

Dr. Holt says, "On the one hand,
it's important that we pay our pres-
first. This includes examining the
police report to see what descriptions the victims gave versus the
evidence uncovered by the police
department's investigation. This
also includes using the responses
given in an interview with the
suspect of both cases and comparing his claims to those of the

suspect has denied any involvement in acts of sexual battery at
University Village, but has been

a strong suspect in the matter.
The suspect's name and

anyone who seeks it, at the University Police Department.
According to the Public Records

Government Code, such details
about a person can become public

"University Police has completed its investigation of this

releasing the suspect's name will
not interfere with our efforts,"
said Chief of Police Aaron Woodard, To obtain more information

idents salaries that are competitive
with those at other institutions, so
that we can hire and retain the best
people. But on the other hand, the
timing of this increase is unfortunate - we are giving large raises
to presidents at the same time as
we are asking students to tighten
their belts." At the same time
they boosted the President salary
increases, the Board of Trustees
raised student fees another eight
percent, and proposed that their
fees increase ten percent each
year for the nextfiveyears.
"Twenty-seven of the Board's
implemented a housing allowance for CSU executives. Some
university presidents are required
to live in official university provided residences. CSU provides
official residences at Dominguez
Hills, Fresno, Fullerton, Long
Beach, Maritime Academy, Monterey Bay, Northridge, Pomona,
San Diego and San Jose. Where
official CSU residences are not
available, the Board of Trustees
provides CSU presidents assistance with their housing. The
presidents' residences are used
for university business including an executive office, university meetings, university-related
entertainment, social functions
and fundraising.
"It is clear to everyone that housing costs in California are much
higher than in other parts of the
country. Ifpresidential salaries are
49.5 percent less than at comparable institutions, and there is, on
top of that, no adjustment for the
high cost of housing, we're asking
a lot for someone to accept leadership positions on our campuses.
Also, keep in mind the demands
that are placed on presidents for
opening up their personal homes
to the campus and the community.
Offering different amounts to
presidents in different parts of the
state allows the CSU to adjust the
payment to local needs within the
state." says Neal Hoss, vice president offinanceand administrative
services.
The last comprehensive change
was made in the summer of2000.
Housing assistance has been reassessed this year in view of equity,
housing maintenance costs and
services, real estate market
changes and housing market relationships.
In addition to the housing
assistance, the Board of Trustees' adopted a resolution that
provides presidents the option of
receiving a $750-1,000 per month
automobile allowance in lieu of
a University vehicle, to support
university related business travel
requirements.
Students, staff, and faculty
members have been deeply disturbed by the direction the Trustees are taking the people's university. On the one hand, they are
making the system increasingly
unaffordable to eligible students.
On the other hand, they are failing to pay its faculty and staff

through the investigation of this

suspect that matched those of the
first victim, further implicating
the case's suspect.
Because the incidents of last

Professor brings the luck of the Irish to CSUSINI courses
Irish Professor will be offering unique courses on Irish politics and history for the Spring 2 006 semester
BY PIYAMAS SABLAN
Pride Staff Writer
The political science and history departments will be hosting a visiting scholar, Professor
Anthony O'Halloran, from Ireland to teach courses in Irish politics and history in the Spring 2006
semester. The courses Professor
O'Halloran will be offering are:
The Politics of Irish Nationalism,
Politics and Society in Ireland,
Conflict Resolution in Northern
Ireland, and The Politics of European Union Integration. Course
information and class schedules
are available on the web through
the SMART system.
According to Cynthia Chavez
Metoyer, professor, department
chair and internship coordinator f or the political science
department, " The courses are
open to students of all majors.
However, students will want to
check with their f aculty advisor if they are u nsure how the
courses might count toward t he
University or m ajor requirements." Currently, the politi-
cal science department does
not have a tenure-track faculty
member who teaches eastern,
western or central European
politics, said Metoyer.
"Students will have the opportunity to learn about three important cases, namely Ireland, Northern Ireland and/or the European
Union. Each case study raises
interesting questions and offers
important lessons—economic,
social and political—that are relevant for citizens in a global society," said Metoyer.
"Approximately 50 million
Americans claim some Irish
ancestry so students can gain
more knowledge about their Irish
roots and ancestral homeland,"
stated Patty Seleski, professor
and department chair of the history department.
"Given his experience and
expertise, and add this to his
background as an international scholar, O'Halloran can
o ffer students a global view of
the world and an opportunity
to look at issues f rom a completely different perspective,"
said Seleski. O'Halloran has
taught in the United States, Ireland, and the Ukraine, among
other countries, so he is aware
of the differences between the
Irish and U.S. university systems. He has a great sense of
humor and is dedicated to his
students and interested in creating courses that will be interesting to American students,
according to Seleski.
O'Halloran mentioned that his
courses will provide students with
a sense of past and present Ireland
and will be a unique opportunity
to study Irish politics and history,
taught directly from an Irishman.
"The concepts of change and
transformation will be central to
both my Irish politics and history
courses. Ireland is quite simply a
fascinating country to study. The
past fifteen years have been ones
of profound transformation," said
O'Halloran.
"Politically, socially and economically, the Ireland of 2005
bears little resemblance to the
Ireland of 1985. Ireland has one
of the best performing econo-
mies in the world. The authority of the Catholic Church has
collapsed. As such, modern Ireland is becoming quite secular.
This compares with the 1950s,
for example, when the Church
was a major social and political
actor and when Irish society was
fragmenting because of emigration. Whilst contemporary Ireland is a very dynamic country, there is also a great sense
of unease. Many commentators
argue that citizens have become
too selfish. We are, it is suggested, a nation of self regarding consumers rather than other
regarding citizens," commented
O'Halloran, about the ample
information behind what can be
gained through studying Irish
politics.
"My focus in the Northern
Irish politics course will be on
conflict resolution in a deeply
divided society. A fter thousands of deaths and injuries,
Northern Ireland is currently
at peace. The course will trace
the historical origins of the conflict. It will emphasize that the

Assemblyman
te speak on

BY SHELLY MONROE
Pride Staff Writer
Educating students,
faculty and campus
guests about fetishes
and 'culturally poetic
sexual
expression',
guest speaker and
Cal State San Marcos
graduate
student,
Chuck Bailey, explored
Chuck Bailey
the psychological and
socio-cultural dimensions of sexual arousal and e gression, on
Wednesday, Nov. 16.
Fetishes are defined as something, such
as a material object or a nonsexual part of
the body that arouses sexual desire and may
become necessary for sexual gratification.
Bailey says, "I think there is a certain
stigma associated with fetishes. A fetish
always implies a dysfunction, and not every
fetish is a dysfunction. Fetish then becomes
a j unk work."
Fetishes can often be defined by culture. According to Bailey's presentation,
the U.S. has popularized sex and fetishism.
Body modification was one of the topics discussed in the forum. The U.S. is well-known
for practicing body modifications including
breast implants, body piercing, bras and corsets. The idea expressed by Chuck Bailey was
to understand that all cultures have different
practices regarding body modifications.
The Chinese had a tradition called feet
binding, practiced for over 1,000 years. Feet
binding usually began when-the girl was
four and took about five years to complete.
If the process was started too late, the feet
would be too large and not supple enough to
bend, but starting too soon would carry the
danger that the girl would be crippled for life
and possibly b e unable to walk. Bound feet
was a mark of the Han Chinese considered
in that culture to be the mark of belonging
to a more civilized echelon of people. Those
who did not participate in this process were
considered barbarians.
There were sexual reasons behind bind-
conflict must always b e understood as a human tragedy," said
O'Halloran.
O'Halloran promotes class participation because he sees teaching as a dialogue, and he is not
traveling from Ireland to merely
deliver
monologues,
stated
O'Halloran. Ideally, students will
finish the courses having gained
new perspectives with a desire
to learn more about the course
topics and will have also developed their critical analytical faculties.
According to O'Halloran, he
loves his job and the classroom
interaction it provides and feels
students and teachers are privileged to be given the opportunity
to study and learn. He is excited
about his first visit to California
and hopes to learn more about
Californian politics, culture and
history.
"So if you see a lost Irishman
on campus please point him in
the right direction...to the nearest blue ocean where the sand is
warm and the sun shines," said
O'Halloran.

ing feet; it was the longest-lived fetish in
the world. After binding the feet, the lower
legs atrophied. The woman would use her
hip muscles to move relying less on leg
muscles resulting in enlargement of the hip
muscles and also of the perineum muscle.
The perineum is the small area between the
anus and vagina. Binding did increase the
shrinkage power of the vagina, which was
an appeal of this process. In 1895, foot binding was outlawed in China and is no longer
practiced.
Other topics discussed in the forum were
paraphilias, which are recurrent intense sexuality arousing fantasies, urges, behaviors,
generally involving non-humans, objects,
or the suffering or humiliation of oneself or
partner. Some of the paraphilias focused on
clinical fetishism. Clinical fetishism is when
the fetish becomes a problem with fantasy,
such as Transvestism, S & M, and Bondage.
An example of paraphilias is bondage,
where someone, usually persons of power, is
put into a more subjective role, to fulfill their
fantasies. Some of the treatments discussed
about clinical paraphilias are psychoanalysis
and behavior modification.
The intended purposes of the forum were
to project cultural difference of various
fetishes and provide a better understanding of 'culturally poetic sexual expression*.
The idea, presented by Bailey, was to try
to withhold judgment and understand the
context presented. Bailey has offered this
forum before and it has gained great interest
by students, faculty, and guests. Bailey is a
graduate student working towards his Masters at Cal State San Marcos. If you would
like more information, please contact Chuck
Baileyatcb999@cox.net.
Assemblyman Ray Haynes (R)
held an open forum on Wednesday Nov. 16 at the Mezzanine on
Cal State San Marcos, sponsored
by the College Republicans. The
Assemblyman for district 66 was
promoting his initiative for a state
run border patrol and his "Board
of Equalization."
The initiative, known as the
"California Border Police Act,"
would set into place a state police
department whose main purpose would be to assist the federal Border Patrol. It would also
enforce state wide immigration
laws. Such laws would include
employer enforcement of these
laws.
"We have about three quarters
of the signatures we need for this
initiative," said Assemblyman
Haynes, during the open forum.
"The Board of Equalization",
"A quasi-judicial office, the BOE
hears the appeals of taxpayers
(both individuals and businesses)
who feel state taxing authorities
have ruled incorrectly," reads the
Web site supporting the initiative.
"I was happy with the turn out,"
said Haynes about the crowd. He
stated that there was an open flow
of people coming and going.

CSUSM
available
BY KIMBERLY RAYMOND
Pride Staff Writer
Did you know that 63.5 percent
of CSUSM is female? Or that
58.4 percent of freshmen come
from North San Diego County?
The average student at CSUSM
most likely does not know the
basics of our campus. There is
now no excuse because interesting facts about the demographics
of our campus are readily available in the pocket-sized handbook, Quickstats 2006.
According to publications
manager, George Cagala, "It's
an economical way of presenting a clear, concise profile of the
campus as it relates to students
(age, gender, ethnicity, etc.); faculty, budgets, financial aid and
other info."
The fingertip facts and figures booklet contains a map of
the campus and phone numbers
from the various departments at
CSUSM. It also provides a brief
history of the campus.
For instance, of the 210 tenured and tenure-track faculty
members, 209 have a doctorate or
the highest degree in their field.
The annual payroll for CSUSM
employees is included in Quickstats, as well as the most popular
major, which is business administration, followed by liberal studies. Of the 7,500 students who
attend Cal State San Marcos,
approximately 3,954 received
financial aid for the 2004-2005
school year.
This handy booklet was funded
by the University Advancement
publications budget, and is an
informative and f un resource for
anyone who may be interested in
the campus.
Quickstats is perfect for student orientations, community
events and chamber of commerce
meetings. Prospective employees
and students will find the booklet
very convenient in learning more
about their future campus. Parents of students as well as donors
and volunteers will also find this
compendium of campus facts and
figures useful.
The basic statistical information was gathered from various departments at CSUSM and
compiled into one pocket-sized
booklet. To gain more knowledge

the Irvine distribution center.

Shuit. "Sometimes, people
take freedom for granted. We

skinny like her. Girls of color
can never look like her (as far
as being white), which sends
a message that they are not as
important." Studies have been
conducted on nonwhite Barbie,
and statistically kids of all ethnicities for the most part have
chosen the white Barbie as more
beautiful and more desirable
than nonwhite dolls. White is
desired in this country because
white equals power and privilege. Mattel Public Relations
Michelle Llorin says, "Mattel
was the first company to have
ethnic Barbie dolls plus Barbie's
first best friend was Christine
and African American Barbie
doll."
Mattel introduced Barbie's
first friend Christie, and A frican-American Barbie in 1968.
Mattel is the first toy company
to have produced ethnic Barbie's
and carries them all year round.
Currently, Barbie comes in Hispanic, African American and
Asian versions all around the
world. Mattel states three Barbie
dolls are sold every second
somewhere in the world. With
more than $3 billion in retail,
Barbie is the number one girl's
brand worldwide. The Barbie
Doll continues to be a top seller
for the toy company Mattel.
The forum will discuss Barbie
and the impacts it holds on girls
in today's society. The student
will share what they know and
offer support to student activism.
Professor Liliana Rossmann
said, " I've attended the forum
in the past and I have learned
a lot. Growing up in Mexico,
I had an entirely different
perspective on Whiteness. In
Mexico, I am considered
" white" because my ancestors (some of them, anyway)
came f rom Spain. In the U.S.,
the categories are different, so
I_am supposed to check a different box: Hispanic, which is
a cultural category, not a racial
or. ethnic category. This boxchecking reminds me of how
these categories are socially
c onstructed, as are our interpretations thereof."
The forum will be a provocative, interactive, experiential
space in which students, faculty,
and guests can explore assumptions and misconceptions about
race and whiteness. Students,
faculty, and guests will leave
with a better understanding of
the concepts of whiteness and be
motivated to learn more.
The forum will be held from

WHITENESS, from page 1
Laura Hansen says, "Whiteness is not easy to explain; I
believe whiteness means power
and privilege at the expense
of others' disadvantage. Most
whites would say I am not a
racist and I would say maybe not
aggressively, but passively, we
are because of the stereotypes
we are fed daily through the
media, laws and institutions."
COMM 454 was first offered
in Fall 2003 and was the result
of an independent study that
Professor Dreama Moon conducted with a small group of
communication students. Given
her research in whiteness studies and the response that she
received from students when
she presented information about
her research, it was decided by
the department to develop this
course.
"I felt that this course was
imperative in terms of my goal
of social and racial justice. It is
important to talk about whites
and white supremacy in a conscious and critical way that
help students understand both
the history of race, racism, and
white supremacy in the U.S. and
its historical legacy and present day manifestation. The old
conservative politically correct
a critical object, w hich i s gener-
ally not done in most academic
forums," said Professor Moon.
Students in Moon's class have
been preparing for this forum by
looking in depth into topics such
as Barbie, beauty products and
political cartoons. In the Whiteness class, the students read and
discuss all aspects of whiteness.
Moon mentioned that, "It is

'Thinks-giving'
Quest
B YLIZZ OSBOURNE
Pride Staff Writer
As a student at Cal State, and
a fulltime professional, I rarely
have time to simply relax and
unwind, so I have learned to make
the most of my allotted holidays.
I must admit that last Thanksgiving, while bundled-up in a
mountain cabin at Lake Arrowhead with the "love of my life",
I would've never envisioned this
year's solo trek to the bottom of
the Grand Canyon. Then again,
life is f ull of surprises. [I suppose many aspects of life could
be taken in with great dread and
horror, like the unexpected end of
a highly romantic relationship, or
they could be embraced as a part
of our greater individual growth,
and welcomed in with new adventures.]
The woman I was last Thanksgiving no longer exists. She was
a solid, levelheaded professional
investigating the possibilities of
a personal life aside from college
and the boardroom. She snuggled a handsome French gentleman beside a roaring fire, drank
hot chocolate and reflected with
calm joy on the mundane artifacts in that simple mountain
cabin, as snow fell gently against
the icy windows. She danced in
the kitchen, as she hadn't done in
years, and lingered on his every
breath as he whispered sweet
fantasies into her ear. She wanted
very much to be swept away, but
I think that woman was very
afraid, and wanted desperately to
believe in something beyond her
deeply guarded inner world. Yes,
that woman went away, but she
made room for the bolder one sitting here today, carefully packing
her ruck sack for four days in the
great outdoors.
This will be my first "Thinks"giving. I am a bit apprehensive,
but I thought this might be a solid
and rewarding way to face my
fear of isolation, to even admit to
it, as I often consider myself the
world's biggest loner. I'm expecting a true adventure, even a bit of
a vision quest, a way to get back
in touch with my own power and
gentle thoughts.
I will begin Thanksgiving
morning on the South Rim, and
gradually make my way twelve
miles below to Supai Village in
the Havasupai lands. Havasupai means "people of the bluegreen water," and I too grew up
around blue-green water, near
Lake Tahoe in the High Sierras.
Back then I was a bold mountain girl, bursting with hopes
and dreams. So, as I hike down
the windy paths, I will watch the
sky and listen for whispers in the
wind. Somewhere there might be
signs of what is in store for me, or
of what I now seek from without
and within.
The main goal of this quest is
to grab onto some new dreams,
or perhaps ask the Earth to return
Photos c ourtesy of L izz O sbourne / The Pride
some of my old ones, as I must
have set them down somewhere.
I hope t o return to finish this
semester at Cal State San Marcos
with a renewed sense of spirit and
"thanksgiving."
Happy Trails, and Happy
Thanksgiving to all!
A holiday reflections, a Thanksgiving pledge
BY BRIAN MASON
Pride Staff Writer
When I think of Thanksgiving I usually think of drunken
relatives watching football after
stuffing themselves with turkey.
This Thanksgiving will be
slightly different. Instead of
many relatives, there will only be
immediate family i.e. my brother,
me, my father and mother.
In retrospect, I look back at
Thanksgivings when my grandmother would come over bearing apple pie, stumbling from her
car because carpel tunnel and a
weary spirit hindered her movement.
She is still with us, but in Michigan, where the wind blows cold,
and the snow catches the shim-

mering sunlight, naturally blinding everything around.
This is the first time she has
been gone since I was born, and
the impact has taken a heavy toll
on my family's spirits. Nonetheless, this Thanksgiving will be
spent in best of spirits as alcohol
flows and the memory of family
members warms our minds.
Thanksgiving is about giving.
It says it in the name. We are not
a religious family, but all our
thoughts go to a member thousands of miles away, as we stuff
turkey and wine into our gluttonous bellies. Thanksgiving is
a remembrance of good times
past and of great times to come.
The social anxiety that grips the
human spirit is sent elsewhere as
we remember the ones we love
and give thanks and praise to
those we care most for.
This Thanksgiving I will be
drunk, remembering all that life
has offered me, and all that life
has taken from me. I will spend
Thanksgiving with friends and
family that comfort me through
the unnecessary pitfalls that we
encounter on a daily basis.
This Thanksgiving I will be
thankful.
This Thanksgiving I will be
remembering.
This Thanksgiving I will be
honoring.
This Thanksgiving I will be
loved.

Toy drive re-ignites
holiday flame
BY MONIQUE NIESLEY
Special to The Pride
With Thanksgiving almost
here, students may be starting
to feel the Grinch-like effects of
too much holiday commercialism: Christmas décor went up
in most stores right after Halloween, the Christmas-themed
commercials began soon after,
and the pre-Christmas sales have
already started. Even in the midst
of a nice turkey coma, many still
have to figure out a way to juggle
shopping with their finals schedule.
None of this does much good
for fostering "peace on earth" or
"good will towards men."
If you'd like a quick, sure-fire
way to change all that, the CSUSM
Pre-Health Society (PHS) has the
remedy: make a donation to their
annual toy-clothing-food drive.
"I had a magical experience
when I donated toys and helped
give them out to needy kids in
Escondido," said Phoenix Lindgren, PHS President. "It was a
Christmas morning I'll never
forget." Lindgren hopes to spread
the magic to her fellow students,
staff, and faculty through the
PHS toy drive.
"In past years, the Pre-Health
Society has just accepted donations of used clothing—and we
want to continue that tradition—
but we also wanted to expand our
effort to reach out to more people

she explained. "The Interfaith
Council serves the needs of the
poorest people living here in the
North County—we are hoping to
not only gather clothing for their
homeless clients, but toys for the
kids this year, too."
According to the Interfaith web
site (www.interfaithservices.org),
their clients need everything from
baby formula to bus passes, from
school supplies to toothpaste.
"If you can't afford to donate
a toy you can probably afford to
donate a couple of toothbrushes
or a stick of deodorant—everything helps."
That said, Lindgren went on to
show that helping the children is
what really motivates her.
"The kids started lining up
outside the Interfaith Council
building at 3a.m.," recalls Lindgren. "They were each allowed
to choose one 'big' toy and one
stuffed animal. They took such
care to make their choices, older
kids would pick out something for
a younger sister or brother rather
than something for themselves;
the kids were so loving and thankful and generous... I can't wait to
go back this Christmas, even if I
do have to be there at 5a.m. What
else am I gonna be doing at 5a.m.
Christmas morning?"

The hidden costs of discounted student travel
Student learns a lesson
in accomodation
BY JOELLE FRANKEL
Special To The Pride
As a broke college student, I am always
looking for new ways to cut corners, but
recently my frugal nature got the best of
me.
With Thanksgiving and Winter Break
quickly approaching, I only hope that my
fellow CSUSM students can learn from
my mistakes. When it comes to holiday
travel plans, be wary of deceptive student
discounts.
When planning a trip to Boston this
October, I searched for deals on Expedia,
Priceline, Orbitz, Hotwire, and Cheaptickets, but the plane ticket prices were
astronomical, and the hotel packages they
offered were equally outrageous. I had
seen a student travel office in PB and was
curious to see what kinds of fares they
offered.
The travel agent at STA Travel was
friendly and seemed interested in my
travel plans. She immediately found tickets for $150 less than I had been able to
find on my own. When I explained to her
that my friend and I were both racing at
"Head of the Charles," a competitive
regatta in Boston, she offered to find us a
hotel nearby as well.
She found us lodging a mere 10 minutes
from the racecourse and, to my surprise, it
was only $80 per night. All of the hotels I
had searched for on my own were at least
$300,1 was delighted by the good news.
In fact, I was so pleased with my initial experience that I emailed the travel
agent, thanked her for her assistance and
requested contact information so I could
write an article about STA Travel upon
returning from Boston. I hoped to title my
article something like, "STA Travel: Good
Deals and Great Service for Students."
Two weeks before our trip I contacted our
hotel, The Battlefield Inn, and requested a
non-smoking room, as my travel companion and I are both allergic to smoke, and
needed to be in peak-condition for our
races. The front desk assured me that our
room would be non-smoking.
Our hotel seemed mòre like an apartment
complex as we checked in at one building
before walking back outside under artificial awnings.
On the way to our room, we both noticed
the thick and overwhelming smell of cigarette smoke. Immediately upon opening
the door the same intense smell flooded
toward us, this time obviously masked by
the sting of disinfectant.
We immediately returned to the front
desk, requested a new room, and were
taken by the manager to smell three other
rooms, all of which were intolerable.
Finally, we arrived at a room on the
second floor and decided that we had
better take it, as we only detected a relatively faint amount of smoke.
We awoke to ourfirstmorning in Boston
with sinus headaches, which later turned
into migraines. Our voices were faint and
throats scratchy, hindering communication
with our rowers. Another unwelcome surprise was the fact that it took two busses
and a subway car 90 minutes to get us from

a trip to Mexico, also through STA Travel,
I might have avoided another near-disaster.
My boyfriend and I had wanted to take
a vacation to celebrate our 1 year anniversary, and found a very affordable package
using the STA Travel website. After looking at pictures of many different hotels,
we settled on the Marbella Suites, which
featured beautiful rooms, a clear pristine
swimming pool, and looked like a pictureperfect paradise.
We were greeted at the front of our hotel
by a starving stray puppy, covered with
mange and dragging an injured leg. It lied
down on the tile stairs amid piles of dead
ants.
Being an animal lover, I cried each and
every time we passed it, and we ended up
spending $150 and a majority of our time
helping the dog.
Although the staff at Marbella Suites
was friendly and accommodating, our
room was nothing like the one featured in
the pictures. We had no television, no blow
dryer, no closet, and our bathroom was in
neglected condition.
The beautiful swimming pool we had
seen online was choked with leaves, dirt
and other debris.
"With hotels, you get what you pay for,"
says Cooper.
I guess I should have known when the
description featured only three stars.
Although we are able to look back and
laugh about our terribly unromantic vacation in Cabo, we didn't see the humor in it
at the time.
Once again, it's possible that we could
have salvaged our romantic getaway by
simply picking up the phone, but I guess
we'll never know.
"We have STA Travel affiliates all over

our hotel (in Lexington) to the race course
(in Cambridge) as we couldn't afford a 50
dollar one-way cab ride.
On the bus ride back from the race
course, the driver asked "you do know that
the upper floors of the Battlefield Inn are
lower income housing?"
This explained the babies crying and
cats wandering around.
From that point on, we lovingly referred
to our hotel as "The Minefield Inn," and
knew that we had to get out of there.
Fortunately, a friend of ours had an extra
room at the Holiday Inn Select in Cambridge and let us stay there for free. After
what we'd been through it seemed like The
Ritz Carlton.
Thanks to a good night's sleep, my friend
and I both went on to have great races.
Anticipating a lot of return traffic at the
airport, we were careful to get there two
hours before our flight. When we arrived
at the airport, however, we were unable to
check in at the electronic travel kiosk, and
couldn't find our flight on the information
board.
An airline agent informed us that our
flight had been cancelled in August.
"Your travel agent should have let you
know," he explained.
The agent was able to get us on another
flight, but now we had to endure a 4 hour
layover in Atlanta. We spent all four hours
cursing STA Travel's incompetence, swearing never to use their services again.
After speaking with Adam Cooper, STA
Travel's District Manager of San Diego, it
is now clear to me that instead of complaining to each other, we should have
been complaining to STA Travel.
"If you get to a destination and it's bad,
you can give us a call," said Cooper. He
explained that if students book a trip

I really like Kentucky. I think
they could go all the way. They
remind me a lot of Illinois from
last year. They have three guards

I think the biggest bust this
year will be Texas Tech. I don't
see why so many people have
them ranked in the top 20. They
have way too many freshmen on
one team to be successful. They
have no star power, and not to
mention, Bobby Knight hasn't
won jack since 1987.
The two saddest teams to
watch this season will be North
Carolina and Illinois. North Carolina lost everyone. If they win
10-games I will be impressed.
Illinois still has Dee Brown and
James Augustine, but I don't
expect them to be in the top 25 at
seasons end.
Now for the sleepers. Maryland is going to be very impressive this year. D.J. Strawberry
is back and healthy. James Gist
will become a star and a force
to be reckoned with. Nik CanerMedley.and Ekene Ibekwe will
fill nice complimentary roles.
I honestly, see them making at
least the sweet 16.
I may look like a fool now
for saying this, but I think San
Diego State could be a sleeper
this year. Brandon Heath does
crazy things with the basketball.
Marcus Slaughter kills his opponents under the basket. A SDSU
team with two future NBA quality players is something that I
can't remember seeing in my
lifetime. Not to mention they
play in a weak Mountain West
Conference. I can see the Aztecs
winning a game in the NCAA
tourney.
However, I think the true
sleeper of them all will be
UCLA. Jordan Farmar Arron
Afflao, arid Cedric Bozeman
provide the young star power.
Luc Mbah a Moute could be one
of those rare freshmen that have
a huge impact on a team's success. The Bruins do have some
tough competition in the Pac10, with Arizona and Stanford
there to challenge them in the
regular season. That challenge
will prepare the young team for
the NCAA tourney, and don't be
surprised if you see UCLA in
the elite 8 in March.

Robbins Report
Fee increases not so unfair?
BY JASON ROBBINS
Special to The Pride
Clarifications regarding Ms.
Sarah Leonard's rebuttal:
As it concerns your insinuation that I tried to deceive readers into thinking that I attended
the event, if one actually reads
the article it should become clear
that my knowledge of the event
was based on my reading about it
in "The Pride"
She said: "First I would like to
comment on the fact that for one
to accurately report on an event,
students should be able to assume
that the writer actually attended
the event."
Clarification: If you want to
argue that folks have to attend
events in order to be able to provide commentary about them,
then there is heaps of literature
that you may want to avoid.
She said: "Do you really mean
for ASI to censor speakers simply
because they are controversial?"
I say: No, I mean for ASI to be
more reasonable in serving the
needs of the student body, for ASI
claims to be the "officially recognized voice of the students." And
I simplyfindit hard to believe that
the student body is best served by
events like "Sluts Unite".
Now, on to this week's topic:
Fee increases at the CSU.
So here's the deal: On October 27, The California State
University Board of Trustees
(folks in the clouds twirling
wands and wearing crowns)
agreed on a budget request that
would increase funding for the
CSU at a level consistent with
the Compact for Higher Education. Oh, and the budget
request is also designed to
increase undergraduate tuition
to an average total of $3,368 per
year for California residents.
This figure includes average
campus-based fees.
So our fees are going up. Are
you interested? Does this news
upset you? I reckon that it should,
for losing money is painful. And
as one of my professors told me,
people like pleasure and dislike
pain. .
I have the privilege (a privilege above all other privileges)
to work with some of the folks in
ASI, and they seem quite miffed.
But I guess they should be quite
miffed. I mean, if they were
merely indifferent (as opposed
to quite miffed) I'd probably be
quite miffed at them for not accu-
rately representing students who
should be miffed about losing
money. Stay with me people.
The point is that I know ASI is
upset, and I think that other students should probably be upset as
well.
The question is, while it's
natural to be upset about losing
money, are we really being burdened that much?
I conducted a little research
and discovered that even after the
forthcoming fee increase, CSU
students (residents) will pay less
than students (residents) at state
schools in New York ($4350)
and Pennsylvania ($4906), and
almost the same as students at
state schools in Hawaii ($3352).
According to the Trends in College Pricing 2005 report published by CollegeBoard, "Average
total tuition and fees at four-year
public colleges and universities
in 2005-06 are $5,491."
So on paper it appears that, relative to students at public schools
in other states, we aren't facing
that oppressive of a burden.
But then I would be a jerk to
ignore the folks who argue that
students in Southern California
are burdened by a high cost of
living. This corner claims that an
increasing tuition, combined with
said high cost of living, makes it
hard to survive.
Your political commentator would like to respond to this
claim: Bologna. When I look
around campus and talk to my
peers, I don't get the impression
that most CSUSM students are
barely surviving. I see spiffy cars
in the parking lot, expensive surf
shop clothes, and iPods; I hear
stories about folks killing heaps
of beers, and going out for sushi.
I don't think that this sort of
consumption pattern is bad, but I
also don't think this sort of consumption pattern is reflective of
students that can barely survive.
And if students that consume like
this can barely survive, I would
argue that it is their own fault. I
would argue that students ought
to live more modestly. It's my
view that being a student doesn't
entitle you to a four year vacation.
And for the students who live
modestly and still struggle to
survive under these fee increases,
I feel your pain. My point is
this: Access to higher education should be affordable; I think
that it basically is; and I think
that when financial crises cause
fees to rise to levels that are not
relatively burdensome, students
ought to try to endure the burden
that exists by living more modestly.
I have holes in my sandals.

�OMBUDSMAN'S NOIE
BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM
Pride Staff Wr iter
Last week's
paper, hmm
well I don't
really want to
talk about it too
much.
What,
and you all
thought that was
my job? Right?
Well it is, but lest we all forget that I
control this little Ombudsman box I'm
just going to say that there were some
problems with last week's edition and
there was some good stuff too (i.e.
three big glasses of beer on the back
page). There, that about sums it all up
— no more in-depth Ombudsman's, just
bad summaries that don't explain anything.
No, actually, I want to talk about
politics this week, the Robbins Report
just isn't getting it done (just kidding
Jason). Seriously, though, the question
that I want to tackle is a very real one:
Does The Pride have a political bias?
Last week's issue had the question in
there, whether it was apparent or not.
Between the Letter to the Editor accusing Jason of improperly assessing the
political atmosphere at CSUSM and
Jason's own column the week before,
the question was subtle but there, as
to whether or not The Pride is biased.
Now I'm going to admit right off the
bat that I'm biased on this topic; I like
the Robbins Report and I agree with
most of what Jason writes in it. I also little biased, depending on who runs

Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Cranberry Sauce, and... TofurkyPPP

Special To The Pride
More than 40 million turkeys
are killed each Thanksgiving.
This year CSUSM students—be
radical, be revolutionary, challenge tradition—give turkeys the
opportunity to be thankful too.
Before these beautiful birds
arrive at your dinner table, they
face unimaginable pain and suffering. The majority of turkeys
spend the last 5-6 six months
of their lives crammed into 3.5
square feet of space. PETA's
website explains that "To keep the
overcrowded birds from scratching and pecking each other to
death, workers cut off portions of
the birds' toes and upper beaks
with hot blades...no pain killers
are used during any of these procedures."
Aside from terrible living conditions, the slaughtering practices of turkeys are inhumane
and inexcusable. Also, according to PETA, the turkeys are
hung upside down by one leg and
their dangling heads are dipped ing: "Who is this crazy, rabbitinto an "electrified 'stunning food eating hippy trying to guilttank,' which immobilizes them trip me, and ruin my Thanksgivbut does not kill t hem" After ing...and how the hell does she

Arguments for cougars to ponder during thanksgiving
BY JEANNE SAPP
Pride Staff Writer
There is a point-counterpoint
being argued in various arenas in
our nation - government, church,
and schools. This unmediated
debate centers on the question
of national integrity. The real
question is do we have any? And
whose ethics, which political
party, worldview, or economic
demographic, will stand for those
of the nation?
The arguments are many and
passionate and often contradictory: We are a Christian nation.
But there is a constitutional separation of church and state.
There is a constitutional right
to privacy, upon which grounds
the highest court in the land
based its ruling that unborn children may be killed.
But' capital punishment is, by
definition, cruel and inhumane.
Torturing prisoners is unethical, and as an ethical nation, we
mustn't sanction it. But that part
of the Geneva Convention is void
because terrorists don't fight fair
- they hide behind women, and
in churches, and they dress like
civilians.
We are a democratic republic; it
works well for us, and will therefore work for other nations. But
who are we to say that the Middle
East should, or can, follow our
form of government? And if
they choose to remain a despotic
theocracy, do we still send them
aid?
Do we vaccinate the children
who are then inculcated with the
religion of hating Americans? If
they despise everything we stand
for, and we stand for healthy children and helping old people and
capitalism, do we continue to aid
them?
It is interesting that many
people are not at all uncomfortable being of two minds on any
debate. The most popular spin
the past few years? "I support the
troops but I'm against the war."
The men and woman who comprise the troops have sworn to
defend and protect the Constitution, and if the nation over which
that Constitution rests sends them
to war, they go.
If you support the military,
doesn't it follow that you support
the nation that military protects?
Perhaps we just want to avoid that
quagmire that society found itself
in when our men and women of
the armed forces returned from
Vietnam - exhausted, injured,
sick, and demonized.
The United States of America
was once the moral voice of the*
world. Those in disagreement
with our current administration will howl at that statement,
because it offends their sensibilities that any nation should
hold itself above others in moral
or ethical behavior.
Yet those same people would
say we are morally obligated to
take this stand or that stand in the
world. Some might base those
obligations on faith: I'm a Christian, and Christians are supposed
to feed and clothe the poor.
Or a political viewpoint - I'm
a Democrat, and we believe
in social equality for all. I'm a
Republican and we need to provide jobs for everyone who wants
one. I'm an atheist, but you don't
kill another person because it's
just wrong.
Either we do maintain a strong
moral and ethical national identity, even as we argue, sometimes
in court, about what exactly is
moral and ethical. Or we crawl
off into a corner under the guise
of some false humility and ask
who are we to say what is right
or wrong.

�PIGMATA:
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
Don't feel guilty if this item seems unfamiliar.
Deprived, maybe, but not guilty.
It's one thing to be ignored by TV, two more
by radio, but this isn't even a matter for most
any given sect of the under-the-radar faithful,
for most of them have yet to bear Witness to
the Lord of Lard, also known as Raymond
Watts, also heard as "PIG".
In fact, this latest release was initially
only available overseas under the moniker of
'WATTS', but we can save marketing details
for later, perhaps when "Pigmata" is actually
made available through the average music
store.
First, let's get down to the gritty gristle
of classification, of genre. No, I don't like to
think of my music as predictable any more
than you like yours dismissed as 'weird'.
Nonetheless, this time there's really no getting around one of the most reviled labels in
modern music history.
"Industrial."
Not since 'Rock' and 'Metal' began
acknowledging their many illegitimate children (and parasitic twins) has there been a
more nebulous sonic-flag. Some make it a
family quilt, others a diaper and still others
simply use it like a hanky...then there's the
issue of what pocket they keep it in.
And like so many things we wished we'd
discovered, 'Industrial' was probably born
before you were, during the dawn of electronic music and the twilight of free-love
music.
A coincidence?
Nevermind.
Two of the more often acknowledged forefathers were "Psychic TV" and "Throbbing
Gristle". More performance art ventures than
bands, their 'industrial music' might best be
described as a liaison between punk, jazz and
disco wherein all parties are as profoundly
intoxicated as they are ugly.
Apart from a brief period of underground
semi-popularity in the late 80s and early 90s,-

an industrial education into the
holidays
when the charts were especially schizophrenic,
Industrial music has remained unpopular in
ways Punk could only dream of. It's almost as
if people preferred electronic music for dancing rather than tearing the world apart.
Many might credit the 'band' (Industrial
acts often revolve around one or two core
musicians) "Ministry" with establishing the
'electro-metal' favored by fans of "Static-X"
and "Rammstein" or the 'industrial-pop/rock'
of "nine inch nails/Trent Reznor" and "Marilyn Manson".
Indeed, other two-decades-and-counting
outfits like "Skinny Puppy" and "KMFDM"
have become more like unusually-diverserock than ugly-techno.
Raymond Watts, among the few who know
the name, is best known for-his contributions to KMFDM (an acronym of the German
saying 'No Pity for the Masses'), but tp truly
prepare someone for PIG, they'd need to
imagine every rocker or metal-head who ever
used keyboards, synthesizers, programming
etc. having a big party together.
Now imagine a lanky yet rugged Brit in the
alley behind them, getting creative with their
garbage and kinky with their girlfriends.
It took a week's worth of machismo to
say that, but one of the best things about the
mighty swine is that he's too much of a lecher
to be a chauvinist, too violent to be a Neanderthal, and too unmarketabley creative to be
a punk.
Almost a decade ago, when "Sinsation"
was released on Trent Reznor's now defunct
record label, I learned something that I still
hold as a personal creative philosophy:
Every single negative thing about humanity can be turned into astoundingly beautiful
3 rt.
PIG, like the best of Industrial MassDestructions, and the best of Punk's intentions, puts you in what I call the 'Dance Pit'.
Don't cut a rug; disembowel it.
The interchange and interplay of seemingly
polarized elements marks each and every
track of "Pigmata" like a salad tossed with
gravy. Watts has a guttural roar and a sinister croon that even the most jaded listener
couldn't dismiss as a mere shock-affectation.
Though I admit it might be hard to say the
same thing about song titles like "God Rod"
or "On the Slaughterfront".
In some places the guitar crush splits the

epic duets with divas, sirens, and the filthy
whores we know as 'samples'.
Unlike his previous albums, "Pigmata" is
not only noticeably more guitar-driven, yet
lacking in darkly serene instrumentals, but
the production is far less polished, maintaining 'live' rather than futuristic textures. It's
not uncommon for artists to harness the height
of technology, only to return to something
comparatively organic. In this case Watts
also seems to favor clunkier analog electronics, but his use of orchestral catgut, big band
brass, and even mambo drums remains crisp
and uncanny.
One drawback to this 'natural' production,
however, is that Watts' aforementioned filthy
mouth is even harder to decipher. There are
some damn catchy melodies here, but damned
again if I can sing along with more than half
the chorus.
Music fans might question whether PIG
is Better for people who prefer their music
ugly, yet are curious about the other side (or
vice versa), and I could list off all the music I
absolutely love that could pass in the old folks
home, but I think there's a place that Industrial has all to itself.
There might still be some space available
for a few of these garage punks pretending
they have the skill or puberty to play metal.
In the end, it's often a feeling of wretched
boredom with the lion's portion of music that
leads to animals like PIG, who stare through
stray hair and veins as the whole mess is
slopped out, stirred with copper wire, and
offered, to the lucky ones, as a way to fertilize all that mud in their ears.

The ice skating rink known
as "Fantasy on Ice" sits

While the typical ice rink is

Get a Kiss, kiss, bang, bang'
BY ALFRED CHU
Pride Staff Writer
The best thing to admire in
a buddy cop action comedy is
chemistry between the two leading roles. If the plot, performances, directing, etc is up to
par, it obviously only helps the
film. Knowing ahead of time that
Shane Black wrote "Kiss Kiss,
Bang Bang", I knew the two leading actors, Robert Downey Jr. and
Val Kilmer, would not only have
chemistry but develop a hilarious
love/hate relationship.
Harry Lockhart (Downey Jr.),
a petty thief from New York,
escapes from the police after a
robbery gone wrong. He stumbles
into an audition of a casting call
and gives an over the top spontaneous performance.
Dabney Shaw (Larry Miller), a
big time producer sees him as the
next big thing and invites him out
to Los Angeles. At a party, Harry
meets Gay Perry (Kilmer), a gay
detective, hence, his name.
Also at the party, Harry runs
into his childhood crush Harmony
Lane (Michelle Monaghan), an
aspiring actress.
Gay agrees to coach Harry,
who does not how to act like a
real cop, by taking him to solve a
murder of a young woman.
During a series of adventures
where people turn up dead and
clues are found, Gay becomes
more irritated by Harry's absent
mindedness. Also, Harry is prone
to accidents and loses his own
finger, not once, but twice.
I knew Downey Jr. and Kilmer
would have chemistry, because
Black has written Hollywood's
funniest action comedies (e.g.
the Lethal Weapon Trilogy and
The Last Boy Scout) where the
chemistry between the two leading actors would carry the movie.
Also, in his directorial debut,
Black's use of cinematography
shows that he is competent behind
the camera as well as writing. He
captured action scenes with the
ease of a seasoned director.
The next best thing of "Kiss
Kiss, Bang Bang" is the screenplay. Word by word, line by line,
you can't help but to chuckle, and
at times, burst out laughing. I
know I did.
For example, during an argument, Gay says, "If you looked
in the dictionary next to the word
'idiot', you know what you'll
find?" Harry cheerfully replies
"A picture of me?"
Typical Hollywood discourse
would respond with "Yes". Kiss
Kiss Bang Bang defies that logic
by having Harry up the banter
between the two characters by
saying, "No, the definition of the
word'idiot'."
Black, knowing Hollywood's
clichés and movie standards,
embraces them and insults them
simultaneously. For example,
when Harry is about to interrogate a suspect by using the Russian roulette method (he empties
a revolver, leaving one bullet in
the chamber and spins it).
Other films would have Harry
ask his questions while pulling
the trigger with no bullet being
fired. But in this film, the bullet
isfiredon the first try, killing the

Brothers Pictures
suspect. To top it off, Harry is
shocked and ponders the question, "Don't I have like an eight
percent chance of the gun being
fired?"
Another great line by Black,
while insulting Hollywood,
comes towards the end
when Harry says "Don't
worry, I saw Lord of the
Rings. I'm not going to
end this 17 times."

�How To ... Spend time during a rainy day
BY AMANDA KEELEY
Pride Staff Writer
W ith
winter weather just around the corner, outdoor activities are soon to be put on the
self. To avoid getting cabin fever, here
are some f un activities that can be done
inside.
For the adventurous type, Solid Rock
Climbing Gym in San Marcos is the place,
.because it's indoors, so even if it's raining
outside, one can still be active without getting drenched.
If water is your thing, but cold, windy
weather isn't, then gyms with indoor pools,
like YMCA or L. A Fitness, may meet your
satisfaction.
If you're looking to add a little more
punch to your day, Dave and Busters is an
exciting restaurant with a shooting arcade
equipped with service call that would make
anyone forget about the stormy weather
outside. Spend your time eating yummy
food like Philly cheese steak sandwiches,
and nachos while playing simulated golf,
baseball, basketball, surfing and any other
activity that is typically meant for outdoor
recreation.
If the mere fact of going outside to drive
to any of these places is a turn off, then
stock up now on activities that keep you
busy in the comfort of your home.
First off, to take advantage of a day
indoors, have a comfy pair of pajamas on
hand. Movies are a great place to start,
thanks to places like Blockbuster who,
for a small monthly fee, allows unlimited
movie rentals so you don't have to worry
about late fees.
Sometimes being cooped up indoors
allows one to discover his or her
creative side. Make sure to have plenty of
paint, brushes, an art book and you just
might find your inner artist.
Bad weather also makes for a great
excuse to get organized. Go through old
pictures that were stuffed under the bed
and make a scrapbook, look around your
home for spare buttons, ribbon, colored
paper and have at it.
When the weathers cold and rainy,
sometimes it's just nice to curl up next
to the fireplace with a good book and
escape mentally.
The fact is, just because the weather
may hinder outdoor hobbies, doesn't
mean you can't enjoy the day. Give
yourself a day to catch up on some
long lost hobbies or take a much needed
nap from the stress of everyday life.
Just like squirrels stock up on nuts for
the long winter ahead, start accumulating things that will keep you busy indoors
while the weather keeps you from the outdoors.

"Wal-Mart: T he High Cost of Low Price'
BY MELISSA BAIRD
Pride Staff Writer
The documentary "WAL*MART: The High Cost of
Low Price" reveals thefinancialdestruction of having a
corporation in the neighborhood.
Created by Robert Greenwald, the Wal-Mart film
travels through the United States, talking with small
business owners who are now out of business.
The story of Wal-Mart's impact is similar across the
.country: Family-owned businesses can't compete with
Wal-Mart's low prices. Though small businesses provide better wages, healthcare, and vacation time than
Wal-Mart corporations, the cheap price of the corporation's merchandise ultimately attracts the most customers. As the supercenter steals shoppers away from
smaller stores, those stores go out of business.
In Middlefield, Ohio H&H Hardware founder Don
Hunter tells how his little country store was overtaken
by a Wal-Mart. In Hearne, Texas the town is described
as looking hit by a neutron bomb, due to the now empty
buildings and desolate streets. Cathedral City, California is short on police officers and fire fighters, due to
city subsidies given to a new Wal-Mart.
"I've seen a lot of companies crucified just because
of one entity...commissioners do nothing but lay down
the red carpet for Wal-Mart," said Hunter. Another man
likens Wal-Mart to a Chinese company with American
Board members. One person calls the store a monopoly that is going on a rampage through the American
economy.
At one point during the film, booklets entitled "How
Wal-Mart is destroying the World" are distributed in
Hunter's store.
In China, Wal-Mart factory workers are paid less than
three dollars a day. They are instructed to lie to inspectors about hours worked and the cleanliness of the factory. If the workers tell the truth about their mistreatment, their employers fire them.
The factories in China have no air conditioning. One
girl, referred to as "Princess" says she sits in her own
sweat the entire day because her boss won't allow her
to have a fan.
At Wal-Mart factories in Bangladesh, workers are
paid between 13 and 17 cents per hour. One woman
brushes her teeth using her finger and ash from the fire.
She does this because she can't afford a toothbrush or
toothpaste with the wages she receives from working at
the factory.
Such instances explain why Wal-Mart can afford
its 'everyday low prices', complete with a personified
yellow blob.
Lee Scott, CEO of Wal-Mart, calls the company
"career and family-orientated" and "vital to the community". At the same time, Wal-Mart employees talk of
working off the clock, unaffordable healthcare, and not
having enough money for food.
Wal-Mart is facing legal battles in three states regarding wage and hour abuses. Managers have reportedly
BY LIZZ OSBORNE
Pride Staff Writer
Image courtesy ofwww.walmartmovie.com
gone into computers under false IDs and moved workers' overtime hours to the following week's check.
One employee has to choose between buying food and
buying medicine when her children are ill, because she
can't afford the health plan Wal-Mart offers. Another
man gets in trouble for offering co-workers money to
buy lunch when he sees they aren't eating during lunch
breaks.
Wal-mart encourages its employees to seek help from
the government, via Welfare or Medicaid, instead of
paying for healthcare with company money.
A male employee explains, "You go to work knowing
you aren't making enough money to make it, and yet
you gotta fake it and put a smile on your face."
In addition to financial lawsuits, Wal-Marts in Texas,
Okla., and Mass. were fined for Clean Water Act violations. These stores kept pallets of pesticides and herbicides in their parking lots, where many of the products
tore open and leaked onto the asphalt. When it rained,
the chemicals washed into nearby rivers-sources of
drinking water for many homes in the area.
When a river keeper in Bentonville, AR reported
environmental violations to Wal-Mart management,
they didn't seem to care. Then she got a lawyer.
In response to the corporate takeover in his city, Reverend James Lawson said, "It is written in the new testament 'the love of money is the root of all evil.'" He
does not approve of the way in which Wal-Mart treats
its employees and feels corporate greed is to blame.
Lee Scott says a job at Wal-Mart is the path to the
American dream. Lee Scott made 27,207,799 dollars last year. The average Wal-Mart employee made
13,861. It seems Scott does not understand the nightmare of minimum wage.
Producer/Director Robert Greenwald and Brave New
Films are taking viewers on an extraordinary journey that
will change the way they think, feel - and shop, as thousands of free screenings of "Wal-Mart: The High Cost of
Low Price" debut in households across the nation.
Have you ever wondered how the low cost of purchasing your underwear at Wal-Mart affects individual workers, consumers, small business owners and communities
across the nation, and the entire world? If so, I highly
recommend watching this movie. Although one-sided,
Greenwald sheds light on how retail giant Wal-Mart mistreats employees, lowers property values, puts small businesses out of business, exploits factory workers over seas,
fails to provide secure parking areas, pollutes the environment and picks up perks and subsidies all in the name
of making a quick profit.
In all fairness, Wal-Mart is not the only major organization guilty of the violations highlighted in this film, but
it is certainly a grand example of a recent global trend of
excessive greed in the name of fair-market value. This
point is made quite clear near the beginning as the film
centers on a series of shots of abandoned Main Streets,
empty store after empty store, with Bruce Springsteen's
version of "This Land Is Your Land." From there, it only
gets worse.
In China, a young factory employee talks about working
conditions. "I'm sitting there, dripping with sweat all day
long," she says. Employees in China say they are housed
in dismal dormitories; they may choose to live elsewhere,
but still have to pay the dorm rent.
In a recent press release, when asked why he decided
to make this film, Greenwald states, "A neighbor of mine,
who had some health issues, was hired at Wal-Mart. As we
were talking about it, I expressed my relief that he would
now have health insurance. He replied that no, unfortunately the coverage offered at Wal-Mart was so expensive
and had so many requirements; he couldn't afford it and
might not qualify even if he could pay. He let me know
that the really nice managers at the store had told him how
to apply for state-subsidized health coverage available to
low-income residents of California, paid for by tax dollars. Impossible, I thought. No way was a corporation the
size of Wal-Mart using public programs for its employees, and so I started to research, read and investigate.
The more I learned, the larger the scope of the Wal-Mart
story became. And the bigger and more complex the story
became, the more clear it was that the only way to tell this
story was to go small, human and deeply personal."
I agree with his tactics, and indeed found the movie to
be human, deeply personal, and even downright disturbing at times. So much so, in fact, I will not even stop at
Wal-Mart to browse, despite my natural inclination as a
starving student to-go after bargains whenever possible.
If you are curious, put down that cheap underwear, and
visit the official website for listings of where you can view
this movie for free: http://www.walmartmovie.com.

Commemorating those who
served in the armed forces, Cal State

Day on Nov. 11 at the Library Plaza.
The ceremony consisted of nearly a
dozen Cal State San Marcos active

The ceremony included a speech
from the master of ceremonies,
Staff Sgt. Karin Reyes, a recital of
a speech from President G.W. Bush,
a color guard ceremony, and a cake
cutting for the Marine Corps birthday, which was Nov. 10.

Ldcal veterans, public representatives, and community
members gathered in Oceanside
to pay tribute to military service
members in observance of Veterans Day, on Friday, Nov. 11.
Hosted at the Oceanside Elks
Lodge 1561, the observance was
sponsored by the Combined Veterans and Fraternal Organizations of North County, in the
Tri-Cities area, welcoming local
political and military personnel
as honorable guests to thank veterans for their service, commitment and role in helping the next
generation understand why our
nation celebrates this national
holiday.
The Marine Corps Junior

High School opened the ceremony with presentation of the
colors, including the National
Anthem and Pledge of Allegiance. Jim Evans, retired gunnery sgt. and the event's master

attendees with light-humor jokes
and opening remarks detailing
his appreciation for community
support.
"It's for the youth too," noted
Bob Neal, exalted ruler of the
Oceanside Elks Lodge, about
the reasons behind why we celebrate Veterans Day. "They're the
future, and why we do this."*
City councilman, Rocky
Chavez, former Marine Corps
colonel, speaking on behalf of
Oceanside Major Jim Wood,
offered a brief speech commenting how "the best thing about
Oceanside is our relationship
with the military. Not just the
Marine Corps, but all services.
Veterans fight for freedom not
just for our nation, but for all
nations."
Congressman Darrell Issa,
a key speaker at the ceremony,
highlighted the expanding benefits for veterans and focused on
the leadership experience that
the military gives service men
and women. A former United

unique patriotism and commitment military members have
for their country, stating how
"Veterans, and spouses too,
have invested in their nation, not
better than their neighbors, but
just in different ways."
Transcending political views,
Issa explained how Veterans

The teddy bear delivery starts on
Dec. 13 in Balboa Park where representatives from each participating police department will speak at
a press conference about the results
of the event. These officers will
then take part in a motorcade from
Balboa Park to Children's Hospital
located in the Kearny Mesa area of
San Diego County.
Since this is the season for
multiple donation drives, and
only our campus' second year
of involvement, the Teddy Bear
Drive could end up to be less
publicized.
"Students can get involved by
getting the word out," said Panza,
about ways that students can
participate beyond just donating teddy bears. All donated
bears must be in new condition;
therefore, the drive cannot accept
hand-me-downs as to comply
with Children's Hospital's policies for infection control. Participants may also donate money,
making checks payable to Children's Hospital.
"It is with great respect and
with a heavy heart," we pay
respect, said Reyes about the
tribute for those who served and
those who've died.
Veterans Day began in 1919
as Armistice Day attributing to
the cease fire from World War
L President Wilson proclaimed
that Nov. 11 will be set aside to
remember all of those who have
served.
President Eisenhower changed
Armistice Day to Veterans Day
in 1954 in order to pay tribute to
all veterans of all wars.
A speech by President George
G.W. Bush was read by Staff
Sgt. Louis Caliendo. The speech
urged all Americans to recognize Nov. 6 through Nov. 12 as
"National Veterans Week" and
called on Americans to participate in patriotic activities. Bush's
speech, read by Caliendo, also
paid tribute to those who are
serving overseas at this time.
The ceremony also recognized
the 230th birthday of the Marine

�ASI Early learning Center hosts first
off-campus garage and bake sale
B YLIZZ OSBOURNE
Pride Staff Writer
In an effort to reach out into
the community and raise funds,
P.A.T., the Parents and Teachers group, acting as a liaison
between ASI and the Center,
will host a combination garage
and bake sale off-campus, in
front of Ralphs Grocery Store,
on Saturday, Nov. 19, between
8:00 and 11:00 a.m.
According to P.A.T. President, Shelly Monroe, "there
has never been an off-campus
garage/bake sale done by any
student organization. I felt it
was important to get the community involved and recognize
that Cal State has a Child Care
facility while fundraising all in
one. Our student organization is
different because we deal with
children and parents. Not many
people know that Cal State
offers childcare to students at
a more reduced rate than all the
surrounding centers. Getting
the community involved will
make this event successful."
In-kind donations are needed
for the garage sale that are in
good condition like clothes,
dishes, and small furniture.
Pick-ups are available till Nov.
18. There are two drop-off locations on campus in the Student
Life and Leadership Office
Craven 4116, and the ASI Office
located in the Commons Building. Volunteers are also needed
to help price items on Nov. 18,
and to set up, sell and sweep up
on the day of the sale, Nov. 19.
The ASI Early Learning
Center is a childcare facility
run by ASI that offers lower
tuition to students and faculty
of the university. It is offered
to the community as well, but
students and faculty have priority. Students benefit from the
center because it allows them to
go to school and have lower cost
childcare to help them complete
their degree. It offers childcare
to ages 2-4 years old and offers
CLASSIFIEDS
a camp in the summertime
when the university is closed.
ASI Early Learning Center is a
non-profit organization, which
means it relies on the P. A.T. club
to help fundraise for any extra
items not in the budget.
Last spring, P.A.T. members
raised funds through events
such as a fashion show where the
young children were dressed up
according to themes. However,
funds and in-kind donations are
still needed. One of the biggest
expenses they are saving up for
is a childcare van. Their wish
list also includes: outside play
equipment, shade equipment,
bicycles, balls, and computers.
Volunteers are always needed
to help assist with the children,
and act as drivers to and from
the Center.
For any information on this
event, donations and/or volunteering, please contact: Shelly
Monroe, Parent and Teacher
president at monro011@csusm.
edu or 760-481-8240.

to support, defend and serve our
nation. "Whether we are Republicans or Democrats, we are all
veterans," said Issa. "Politics end
when our nation needs us. There
are no political stripes in the service."
Following
Issa's
speech,
Assemblyman Mark Wyland,
for the 74th District, shared some
inspirational thoughts about his
feelings toward the role Veterans have in securing our nation's
freedom. "This country has more
freedom, more hope, and more
opportunity than any other in
history," said Wyland. "We may
be imperfect, but now we are
trying to bring these freedoms to
another part of the world."
Lt. Colonel Brian Kerl, of the
United States Marine Corps, captured much attention in the opening of his speech when he joked
about how "others (Chavez and
Issa) may have excused themselves" due to other engagements, however; "the Marines
are still here!" His comment was
well received with laughter and
applause.
Emphasizing and reporting
on current active duty veteran
efforts, Kerl detailed the training
procedures implemented at the
Marine Corps Recruit Depot in

his draft into the Navy.
San Diego.
"Our commitment to one
another remains unquestionable,"
said Kerl. "We are proud to have
served in difficult circumstances.
And thank you for your service to
this great nation."
In an effort to help local youths
develop a positive sense of patriotism, the Combined Veterans and
Fraternal Organizations of North
County sponsored an essay contest "to make them aware about
what Veterans Day is, and why
those wars were fought to maintain our nation's freedom," said
retired Marine Corps Captain,
Donald Greenlaw. Chosen winners were awarded at the end of
the ceremony. Three winners
were selected from each participating school, awarding first
place writers with a $100 bond,
and second and third place winners with $50 bonds each. Six
school divisions participated
in the contest including: Faith
Lutheran, Martin Luther King
Elementary, Roosevelt Middle,
Oceanside High, El Camino High
and one recipient f rom the homeschool division.
"It was a good experience for
everyone involved" mentioned
Jeanne Evans, CVFO co-chairperson, who congratulated the
students on their wonderful
words of inspiration. Eight students were present at the ceremony and honored with a certificate of excellence.
In closing remarks, Rev. Steve
Chappell offered a prayer for
departed veterans, encouraging
all attendees to keep in mind the
"memory of all military members
who have given their lives for us
all. May they rest in peace. God
Bless."

A sudent's perspective on college and money
BY NICK MCSPADDEN
Special to The Pride
Our world is in love with money. Have
you ever watched late night television and
sat mesmerized as people retell their get rich
quick tricks? They promise to send you a six
disc set with all their instructions so you can
do it too! And if you act now, they will throw
in a free solar powered pocket financial calculator; all for three easy payments of only
$33.33, plus shipping of course.
Ever walked through a store's magazine
and newspaper racks? The Wall Street Journal, Baron's, Kiplinger's, Smart Money,
Forbes, Financial Times, and then of course
the personal finance articles in magazines
like Mens' Health, Cosmopolitan, and the
thousands of other monthly publications,
all offer up their words of wisdom on the
issue that hits home every time: money,
dinero, cash, bread, dough, cake, moola,
etc... People are hungry for the tidbits of
information that will set us free and let us
retire early in a small Italian villa.
Unfortunately, college graduates tend to
leave their institutions of higher learning
with a degree in whatever, a mountain of
debt, and no real knowledge of how to get
out of the hole. We put our faith in walking with our class on graduation day and
then walking into our new office the next
week. After all, you posted your resume on
Monster and this new job you know you are
going to get will finally pay enough money
for you to live comfortably, pay off all your
debt, retire early, and live happily ever after,
right? Maybe, but I would not count on it.
A friend of mine, a very intelligent guy
with a degree in business management
emphasizing industrial psychology from
the highly regarded Pepperdine University,
looked for three months to find a job only
to be offered a $32,000 a year job as a very
low man on the corporate totem pole. With
that, he could live in an apartment with at
least one roommate, drive the same car
he drove through college, and maybe be
able to save a little money at the end of the
month. Unfortunately, his student loan debt
exceeds $30,000 and any leftover money
goes right into paying that off.
Do not count on a well paying job straight
out of college. Do not rack up the student
loan debt (not too much anyway), credit
card debt, auto loan debt, home mortgage
debt, and any other kind of debt while
hoping to make $70,000 a year, when you
finally escape the college classroom and go
out into the "real world." Instead, start your
personal finance education now and start
planning today. This winter break, go to
a bookstore and find a book (that you will
need to read) on personal finance.
This column will attempt to tackle a lot
of the issues facing college kids today with
their finances. We will discuss important
topics such as your FICO score, how to consolidate and eliminate debt, how to make a
big ticket purchase like a car or a home, and
we will try to give you the basics, like creating a budget, how much credit one should
have, which kind of credit cards to use, and
how to make the most of the money you do
have. Hopefully, this will give you a better
understanding of your personal finances.

A n interview w ith the founder of Perigee
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
LTWR graduate Robert Woerheide walked in May of 04, but
not before establishing an especially sleek and professional
online art magazine "Perigee", as
seen through www.perigee-art.
com. Directly after graduating
from high school in '96, Woerheide attended Virginia Tech as
a physics major. He didn't stay
long, however, before moving out
to San Diego. A fter some time
working retail, and some more
resuming undergraduate credits at Mesa College, he came to
CSUSM and all it had to offer
an aspiring writer. During one of
Woerhide's campus visits an ensuing debate imitated conversation
and conversation in turn imitated
interview as Pride set one wordsmith editor against another.
What do you recall about the
education you received here at
that time, do any teachers stand
out, any program you found
especially good or bad?
I think I had a really good experience with the LTWR department. Brandon Cesmat, he was
instrumental in helping me to
find my voice as a poet. I never
considered myself a poet, but he
guided me through the process.
And certainly professor Susan
Fellows was critical in my development as a writer, and she stood
out in my experiences. Newman
and Yuan as well.
It seems you remember more
the professors
themselves
rather than any kind of structure within the college, the
teacher more than the class.
Yeah, I think so. Yes.
You said that you transferred from Science into Literature. Have you talked with
other people who have made
what seems like such a drastic
change?
No, not really. I always hear
stories of people 'changing their
majors' and that sort of thing.
When I went, I wanted to study
Astrophysics and the math just
killed me. So, in my first semester, I switched over to English,
so it was a quick thing. I had an
opportunity to go to the University of Iowa, and I.. .sorta wish I
had, maybe. It's certainly more
of an English-oriented school but
my experiences at Virginia Tech
instilled the seed for the online
magazine,
Many students might be in
a similar situation, pursuing
something in the more tangible
sciences, where the arithmetic
might seem a real drudgery, do
you think it's a mater of whether
you're 'capable' or more a
matter
of...'compatibility'?
And if you'd had more compatibility might it have put you
on an entirely different path,
might you have continued with
writing but in a lesser capacity?
I think I would have eventually
gone back to English, to writing;
it was my passion since I was 1314 years old. I got fired up about
astrophysics, but I have a feeling
I was meant to be a writer is some
form, or an editor.4 Working with
words'; I think I would have eventually swung back to that.

So when people make the
decision it should have more to
do with the more driving passion rather than what comes
easiest, necessarily?
I would say, yes. Certainly
speaking for myself, I'm a passionate person, so it would make
sense that I would be driven more
by passion. Some people are more
driven by wanting a better life for
their family which might lead
them to more profitable endeavors than writing, but for me I'd
definitely be inclined to follow
my passion.
That brings us to a larger,
and hopefully deeper question,
in the sense that often people in
the arts, particularly in literature, are viewed as 'reclusive'
or otherwise selfish people, and
yet so often explain their work
in terms of how it can help
other people. Do you think it's
difficult to reconcile these two?
No, I don't think it's difficult
to reconcile them. Art needs to
be an intimate and often private
'act'. Yet, in the end, I think art
achieves what it needs to achieve
by being sent to a broader audience, by engaging with the world.

INTERVIEW, from page 5
Some of the great artists are often
introverted, but their work hopefully speaks to an 'extroverted
world', if you will.
You're currently editing the
online publication "Perigee",
how did you get into that?
FEATURES_
you respond to the idea that the
problem isn't enough people
reading, but too many self-identified 'readers' now feeling so
self-conscious that they fancy
themselves either destined or
obliged to write, that "there
aren't too few readers; there are
too many writers."

ment. There are many theories
to explain this, but how would
That's a legitimate concern. I
think that's one of the benefits
of the internet, though, that it's
very democratic in that respect. If
you can get your work published,
more power to you. I think there's
enough space to accommodate
that at this point. I suppose we'll
eventually see that chafe removed,
the lesser works will fall by the
wayside. As online publication
develops word will spread as with
anything else in life.
It seems you're hoping for a
natural process, that the hacks
will lose interest, and yet so
often we see that the big jobs in
television and cinema are often
going to the 'hacks'. How do
you reconcile this?
That's easy for me to answer:
I think that in the modern world
nice guys finish last, and I think
it's a shame. I mean nice as in
someone who has artistic integrity, who takes the long road.
That's not to say that if you work
for CNN you're a worthless
human being, but in general I
think the things that are rewarded
in our modern system aren't necessarily conducive to good writing, to a sense of artistic integrity (not to use that term again).
That's what I mean by nice guys
finish last.
In that respect, returning
to education, how diverse the
experiences and results are,
do you think this has more to
do with the system or the very

nature of good writers? Can
you blame the system when the
system is designed to serve the
masses while the masses generally don't become good writers?
I think there is definitely a level
of personal responsibility, and with
writers, with all artists in general,
you're perhaps more likely to find
people who aren't so concerned
with publishing something to further a career as with simply writing
a good sentence. And you'll find
this in otherfieldsas well.
Do you think there's anything to be done, whether in
large classes or one on one, to
'make' good writers, and if not
do you think maybe teachers
should focus instead on making
more voracious readers?
I think both go hand in hand;
you have to be a voracious reader
to be a good writer.
Don't you think, though, with
regards to what you said earlier
about too many writers...
Yeah, if you have to pick one
or the other, pick reading, we
need more readers, then maybe,
once they've read a heck of a lot,
maybe they can become good
writers, but in the meantime definitely pick reading.
Do you feel you follow a
model as an editor, is it a model
that works better for online
publishing than physical publishing?

are successful, but I want Perigee to have
its own voice, so I try to see what I like
about those publications, then ask myself
why I like certain aspects before I incorporate them to make Perigee as a whole
rather than piecemeal.
But in terms of how to discern between
worthy and unworthy submissions?
Online publications are still fairly new,
so I've simply had to do what makes sense
to me and to the other editors. We have to
trust our own sense for that but also have
to be objective at the same time. In that
sense we don't really have much in terms
of 'models' to go off of, we're really just
kind of doing what makes sense from an
artistic standpoint.
Being able to use your own taste and
standards is something that a lot of people
in the publishing and entertainment
industry have as the highest goal Do you
think that's a luxury that only obscure or
independent publishers can afford, or is it
a model that maybe the bigger distributors should follow more often?
printing costs, that there will be so
many independent publishers that writing will become a hobby simply because
there is literally NO money to be made?
Or is there a model or mission statement
that the literati in all stations and fields
could encourage to make writing a more
lucrative pursuit?
Tuesday, November 15, 2005
Perhaps. I think that's a legitimate concern, monetary concerns are part of the
world, and they can be beneficial to the
artistic process, and perhaps those that
can't afford to be publishing shouldn't be
publishing. That said, it is hard to break
into the system if you don't have an empire
behind you, but you can have a good magazine with no money, of course there's just

�Jock talk with Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
Most football fans don't
know what to
think about the
Chargers at
this point in the
season. They
don't know if
they are a good or bad team. Do
bad teams lose the close games or
do good teams stay in contention
until the last minute of the game.
I guess it depends if you are a half
full or half empty kind of person.
Lucky for you Chargers fans, I
am a half full kind of guy.
If you play Monday morning
quarterback like me, then you
realize that the Chargers should
be undefeated at this point, but
they're actually 5-4. With those
four losses coming by a total
of 12 points, the Chargers have
made their route to the playoffs
much tougher.
I think it is going to take 10
wins to make the playoffs, which
mean the Chargers need to win
five out of the final seven games.
As hard as that may sound, I see
it happening.
The next game is against the
Bills at home. That is win number
six, because the Bills really only
have one offensive threat in Willis
McGahee, their running back,
and the Chargers are superb at
stopping the run.
The following week the Chargers travel to Washington to take
on the Redskins. I think that
game is a toss up against a much
improved Redskins team, but
since it is in Washington I will
give it to the Redskins.
After the Redskins, the Raiders
come to town for a Sunday Night
Football match-up. The Chargers
will easily take that game for
win number seven, because the
Raiders couldn't stop most Pop
Warner teams from scoring.

has never been a threat to score
touchdowns, so calling plays
for Neal rather than LaDainian
Tomlinson makes about as much
sense as Britney Spears opening
for Snoop Dogg.
Secondly, Drew Brees needs
to call some audibles at the line.
Since Marty Schottenheimer and
Cameron are more conservative
than President Bush, Brees needs
to offset his coaches by calling
his own plays at the line.
Finally, the Chargers need LT
to touch the ball at least 25 times
per game. I don't care if LT runs
the ball, is thrown to, passes it, or
kicks it; he is going to find a way
to get into the end zone.
If those three things don't
happen over the next seven
games, then the Chargers will
be sitting at home watching the
Colts and Panthers work their
way to the super bowl.

�Rebuttal to The Robbins Report:
First, I would like to
comment on the fact that for
one to accurately report on
an event, students should
be able to assume that the
writer actually attended the
event. I was unable to attend
this year, but last year I was
able to hear Carol Leigh
(Sluts Unite speaker) and I
learned a great deal about
many issues surrounding sex
workers and I was in no way
as you suggested influenced
to become one myself.
Second, just to clarify,
ASI money is not state

funded by tax dollars, or the
public as, you had claimed
in your article.
Lastly, why the influence
of censorship, just because
the issue is not your own
personal favorite? Do you
really mean for ASI to censor
speakers simply because
they are controversial? We
are in college! Why are
students not encouraged
and given the credibility to
think critically and make
decisions for themselves by
being actively engaged in
ALL sorts of classes, topics,
conversations, and events?
Do you really think
that women are going to
"engage in random sexual
acts" because of a speaker?
Carol Leigh does not share
her experience to influence
students to become sex
workers. Had you attended
the event you may have
had these facts. I find your
lack of faith in students and
especially women (since
that is where most of your
comments were directed)
very disheartening.
When our constitutional
right to freedom of speech
has been in jeopardy several
times the last few years,
such as the attempted
censorship of Michael
Moore and the fight against
Senator Morrow's SB5, I
would hope that students
would defend their right
to academic freedom and
encourage each other to
critically think about issues.
This does not mean agree
or disagree with them but to
have the freedom , to make
that choice on their own!
Sometimes when we step
outside our own comfort
box, we learn the most.
I recommend this sort
of engagement to your
opposition suggesting that
you have all the answers.

I would like to remind
students the stance that
you took in your "report"
about "Sluts Unite" stating,
"I've decided to provide my
own answers; and you're
welcome." Welcome for
what? Why did you fail to
include in your "report" that
you did not attend the event?
I am disappointed.
That being said, I
believe in the students
on this campus and their
ability to think critically for
themselves and find their
own Answers! Go Cougars!

has the better case because I have
heaps of homework.
One ought not to fret though,
for I do have a few opinions on
this matter. Congressman Duncan's wet cement dream reminds
me of another current event
involving a city in Texas.
On Tuesday, the folks of White
Settlement, Texas, voted not to
rename the city to West Settlement, Texas. Opponents of the
proposed name-swap charged
that proponents were attempting
to "discard" the city's "heritage".
Apparently, the White Settlement

opposed to Mr. Duncan's plan, I
would consider gathering signatures for a name-swap initiative
in an area of California that was
originally settled by folks from
Mexico. I would reference the
residents of White Settlement,
and argue that city names that
merely reflect an area's history
are cool. And then we'd have
Brown Settlement, CA.
While such a move would not
have much of an effect on a proposed or completed border fence,
it'd probably be a nice way to
stick it to Congressman Duncan.

�How To ... Play Texas H old ' Em
BY AMANDA KEELEY

Poker, a timeless game has
gained recent popularity with a
novel twist. Texas Hold'Em is the
latest craze in poker, especially
on college campuses, due to the
popularity of TV shows covering poker tournaments, like the
World Series of Poker and Celebrity Poker.
In Texas Hold'Em, each player
is dealt two cards face
down, which is followed by the first
round of betting.
A fter the dealer
"burns" a card, a
"flop" of three cards
is turned face up on
the table. The dealer
then reveal the fourth

as the " turn" and the
"river", with a round
of betting and folding in between each.
With the five community cards
on the table, each player who is

Derek Carson, who wrote an
article for pokerpages.com about
finding a game, said "finding a
poker game on a college campus
is easier than finding a cocktail
waitress in Las Vegas." So what's
the allure? Well first off, the
game has better odds than any
other game because players are
playing against each other and do
not have to overcome the house
edge.
Secondly, the game is more
competitive, relying more on

Just to get an idea of how big
this poker trend is, sales of chip

to swordfish and tofu. According
to a press release, Stone CEO
Greg Koch said, "Stone fans will
find the quality and character of
our menu to match that of our
beers, and for those that are not
fully up to speed on just what
that means, it means that people
can expect to find a lot of quality
and a lot of character." Koch says
this will be reflected in a menu
that will lean heavily towards
items that are locally fresh and
naturally raised, tossed liberally with spices, unique sauces
and influences from around the
world.
Stone Brewing Co. was started
in 1996 by two beer lovers, Greg
Koch and Steve Wagner. The
two met up after a class at UC
Davis entitled "Sensory Evaluation of Beer." They found out that
they had similar ideas in brewing
and both shared the same passion
for beer.
After keeping in touch for a few
years and brainstorming ideas for
opening their own brewery, they
made it a reality. The San Diego
Union Tribune said "Calling
Koch and Wagner beer experts
may be an understatement."
With the incredible success the
brewery has had in the past nine
years, this statement is undoubtedly true.
While the new brewery is being
built, tours and beer tasting are

it's what I want to be, the first

She has two main sources of

sees in the world and other artists that she respects. Her biggest
musical influences are Missy

Missy Elliot because "She helps

she went against that. It's what I

She respects Nas because he
stays true to himself and his fans.
"He doesn't have to sell out to

and I admire that. He hasn't gone

Active duty Marines attending Cal
State San Marcos will host this year's
Veteran's Day celebrations on Friday,
Nov. 11. The ceremony, commemorating veterans of all of the armed forces,
will be held next to the Kellogg Library
main entrance, from 1 to 2:30 p.m.
The ceremony will be a joint celebration for Veterans Day and the 230th
Birthday of the United States Marine
Corps, which is on Nov. 10.
The ceremony will consist of a color
guard, a reading from a letter from the
Marine Corps Commandant and a cake
cutting ceremony. The cake cutting ceremony will be an opportunity where a
piece of cake is presented to the youngest Marine on campus, Cpl. Jorge Caro,
and the oldest Marine on campus, Joe
The University Police Department received two reports of sexual
battery in October. These are the
only reported cases — there have
been no confirmed reports of rape.
Chief of Police, Aaron Woodard,
has confirmed that the first sexual
battery incident reported occurred
on the night of Oct. 20 when a 19year-old male approached a 16year-old female, while at University
Village.
"Through our investigation of
this case we received word of the
second incident that occurred
approximately three weeks prior to
the first, which involved the same
19-year-old male," said Woodard.
According to Woodard and Lt.
Douglass Miller, they have a strong
lead in the case as to who the suspect
is. He is not a student at CSUSM,
and currently he is classified as a
strong suspect in this matter.
Currently, this case is in the hands
of the District Attorney's Office for
further investigation.

The Board of Trustees of
the California State University adopted and approved
a 2006-2007 budget request
and fee increase proposal on
Oct. 27, 2005. The State University Fee for undergraduate
and credential students will be
increased by eight percent, and
will increase by ten percent for
graduate students, according
to the California State University web site.
The web site also states that
revenue from the student fee
increase will be $107 million.
Thirty-three percent of the
revenue will be used to provide $32.7 million in additional
funds for the State University
Grant financial aid program,
providing financial aid access
to 5,100 additional students.
The revenue from the budget
request and fee increase will
also be used to fund increases
in health benefits, new space,
service-based salary increases
for certain employee groups,
and higher energy costs.
The current 2005-2006
annual State University Fee
is $2,520 combined with the
average campus-based fees
totaling $664, makes the CSU
average for tuition a total of
$3,164 for undergraduates. A
link to the Finance Committee
Agenda/Student Fee Schedule
is provided on the CSU web
site for a detailed 2006-2007
fee schedule.

the board members are resorting to taking money from the
students. One of the board
members informed the students that they were unable to

SGI Buddhist Club hosting guest speaker
Newly f ormed c lub i ntroducing B uddhism t o s tudents on c ampus
BY PATRICK B. LONG
Pride Staff Writer
The
recently
formedBuddhist Club
will have its
first meeting
next
Monday.
The
club
Shin Yatomi
will host a
guest speaker Shin Yatomi, managing editor of Living Buddhism
magazine, on Nov. 14, from 7 to
8:30pm in ACD 102.
SGI stands for Soka Gakkai
S PEAKER, from page 1
The event will be hosted on
Tuesday Nov. 15 at the Clarke
Field House, room 113, from
11:30-12:30 p.m. With the support of ASI, pizza and refreshments will be available for all
participants.
Dr. Cyrus Masroori, advisor
of Model United Nations Club,
highlighted that Sorensen will
be focusing on "The United
Nations and Challenges of the
21st Century" and she'll be pre-
International which translates to:
create value.
"We believe each person has
Buddha in them," said Eiko
Okita, club treasurer. "By praying, people can reach Buddha in
nature." Okita went on to explain
that Buddhism believes in cause
and effect, "Whatever you cause,
you get the effect."
The club's goal is to introduce
Buddhism to the campus. Buddhism has multiple sects and the
SGI club follows the Nichiren
Daishonin (NSIC).
"SGI is a Buddhist association with more than 12 million members in 190 countries
and territories worldwide," Said
Frank Rojas, SGI Buddhist Club
president. "This Buddhism aims
to awaken people to the limitless potential and value of their
own lives. Buddhist philosophy
and practice bring about a positive transformation in the depths
of life, transforming fear into
courage, deluded impulses into
wisdom, and egotism to compassiori."
"We believe people are responsible for their own life and they
can change their life," said
LouAnn Berg, the SGI local
office community relations coordinator. The local office for SGI
is located in San Marcos and can
be found on the Web site for SGI
at < http://www.sgi-usa.org/cgibin/locator.cgi>.
"In India the word Buddha was
originally a common noun meaning "awakened one," but in Buddhism it is used to mean one who
has become awakened to the ultimate truth of life. In Hinayana the
word means one who has entered
the state of nirvana, in which both
body and mind are extinguished."
http://www.sgi-usa.org/
"Our members reflect a cross
section of our diverse American society, representing a broad
range of ethnic and social back-.
grounds," reads the SGI web site.
"I cannot tell you how much a
complete turn-around its done on
my life, helping me achieve my
dreams my educational goalsGPA, relationship, finances, and
overall happiness," said Rojas
about Buddhism.
The club started its recognition process on campus in September and became official in
October. This will be the first
meeting for the club. The event
will serve snacks and beverages.
For more information contact
the local office at 760.591.9738
or email Frank Rojas at
<frankienj @yahoo.com>.
pared to field any questions or
inquiries students, faculty or
staff may have about U N. policies or positions in international
relations.
"I hope students take advantage of this event," said Masroori. "Students have good questions about the United Nations.
I cannot think of many people
with more direct information
about the United Nations than
Ms. Sorensen.
Events like
this are not easy to. organize.
The Model United Nations at
CSUSM has worked hard to
make this possible. In part, by
organizing this event we want
to thank the university, and particularly the students, for supporting student organizations
like ours. We hope that students'
participation in this event give
us incentive to work even harder
to contribute to our university
by bringing more speakers in
the f uture."
This event is made possible
through CSUSM's Model United
Nations Club, the Department
of Political Science, the U.N.
Foundation and ASI. The event
is free-of-charge and expected
to be a "fortunate" experience
for all who attend, according to
Masroori.
"The United Nations has played
an important part in bringing
peace and security, humanitarian relief, health and education
to people around the world. Probably because of the magnitude
of its missions, it has also been
subject to criticism," Masroori
explained. "A good example is
the way that the U.N. has dealt
with the situation in Iraq since
early 1990's. Students have questions about the U.N., its usefulness, and its problems (e.g. oil
for food program). Here is a great
opportunity to learn more about
the organization and ask questions aboutit."

Fall 2005 semester. The club will
follow the procedures for club
status for the Spring semester.
"It's a tradition on campus. We
want to support that tradition,"
said Elizabeth Sheets, ASI's
director of social programming.
She went on to express how great
veterans are.
Currently, John Segoria, director of Disabled Student Services,
has been filling the role of coordinator for the Veterans Club until
Corkie's replacement is found.
The color guard will be hosted
by students currently enrolled
at Cal State San Marcos in the
Marine Enlisted Commissioning
Education Program (MECEP).
The program allows active duty
enlisted Marines to attend college while on active duty in order
td complete their college education and become officers.
The color guard consists of
Staff Sgt. Kevin Penn, Staff Sgt.
Mike Holt, Sgt. Ben Carter, and
Sgt. Nathan Loomis. The event is
being organized by Gunnery Sgt.
Dennis Herold.
"We want to pay tribute, not
just to veterans, but to their families as well," said Herold.
Segoria has estimated that
there are nearly 400 veterans and
dependents of veterans attending
Cal State San Marcos.

Casey Sowa
"Wouùfyou
go without
BY JESSICA DAMBOWSKI
Pride Staff Writer
Casey Sowa is a guitarist who recently
released the compilation album, "Backroom Sounds." Sowa, who was part of
the band "Travesty," placed three of their
songs on the album. Sowa describes the
other featured artists as friends and the
CD itself as a compilation of San Diego
artists and a representation of San Diego's
culture, along with his own.
" But" said Sowa, "there is much more
that did not make it on the CD."
Before becoming a Cougar, Sowa
attended SDSU for three years, followed
by classes at both San Diego City College
and Mesa College. He is currently in his
second semester as a Communications
major here at CSUSM, where he appreciates having a lot of the same people in his
classes, all the technological resources,
and always being able to find a parking
spot.
When asked about the first time he
began playing guitar, Sowa said he was
about ten years old and that he enjoyed
playing his favorite songs and playing for
friends.
Currently, Sowa is in a nameless threepiece. He met Nick, who plays guitar and
bass for the new band, at the SDSU dorms
in 1998. The drummer, Jasha, arrived
through Ed Barrena, Sowa's roommate.
"(We were) stoked about creating
music and (to) move forward with being a
group," said Sowa.
Bradley Nowell of Sublime and Bob
Marley hold high places in Sowa's music
hall of fame, but despite their excessive popularity here, Sowa says that it
was great being in Souhern California
because of the "diversity of music."
Sowa recalls the first year he was in
the dorms, when some friends played
the guitar, and it united them. Later on,
according to Sowa, a guitar "showed up"
at his house and he began to play. "It's
a cool privilege to reprodupe your favorite songs and play them whenever you
want."
When asked if he liked where his future
was headed, Sowa said he is content but
wishes he could play more often. "It's
hard when you love something and can't
give enough time to it. It's frustrating."
When asked If the music industry
was challenging Sowa offered this bit of
advice: "Yes, but (the longer you hold o ff)
the pressure to sign to record, the more
you are independent. When you sign they
own your music." He went on to explain
that independent musicians need to network, make and hand outflyers,and promote themselves. "Just spread the word,
and spread the music... when you put it
down it doesn't get out."

Flu pandemic could well reach CSUSM
BY JEANNE SAPP
Pride Staff Writer
According to an AP report
released on Nov. 1, President
Bush announced a $7.1 billion
dollar plan to fight a possible
flu pandemic. In a speech at the
National Institute of Health, Bush
explained his plan for education
and prevention, and treatment in
the event of an outbreak of Avian
Flu.
United Nations officials are
warning that the newest outbreak
of avian flu, identified as H5N1,
could lead to a pandemic killing
upwards of 150 million people.
However, according to comments
made to the BBC News on line
edition, World Health Organization spokesman Dick Thompson said the death toll would be
between two million and 7.4 million. According to Mr. Thompson, "There is obvious confusion,
and I think that has to be straightened out."
A pandemic is an epidemic
which affects large portions of
the global population. Other
worldwide pandemics, also
mutated from avian flu, include
the Asian flu, which killed about
four million people in 1957, and
the Hong Kong flu, which killed
about one million people in 1968.
Swine flu, another virus which
can be transferred from animals
to humans, is responsible for the
deaths of over 30 people in China
so far this year. Unlike the avian
flu, which can be contracted
by merely coming into contact
with infected birds, according to
the Calgary Herald, swine flu is
"contracted by slaughtering, handling, or eating infected pigs."
Although there is confusion
among experts as to how many
deaths would result from a pandemic, there is no confusion
about the source of the virus.
Scientists have determined that
the flu virus that killed 50 million people worldwide in the 1918
Spanish flu pandemic is similar
to the avian, or bird flu which
has killed over 60 people in Asia,
primarily Vietnam, since 1997.
Avian flu is spread by migrating birds which infect domestic
flocks of chickens and turkeys.
Jeffrey Taubenberger, from
the U.S. Armed Forces Institute
of Pathology, reported that the
1918 Spanish Flu outbreak can be
traced to an "avian-like virus that
adapted to humans." Researchers
have replicated the virus grown
from samples of tissue from victims of the Spanish flu. Pharmaceutical companies, like Roche,
have begun to develop vaccines
for that specific virus, although
a vaccine may be several months
away.
In order to contract avian flu,
a person must be simultaneously
infected with the avian strain
and the human strain of influenza. At that point of contagion,
the virus can mutate and then
spread by human-to-human contact. While thefluvirus seems to
strike primarily healthy, middleaged people between the ages of
18 and 34, scientists believe that
some elderly people may have
some immunity to the virus if
they were exposed to it in 1918.
Although experts differ about
the number of fatalities, they all
agree that it is not a matter if
the virus mutates and begins to
spread among the human population, but when. Infected birds
are being slaughtered throughout Asia and Europe, and several areas in Turkey and Romania have implemented quarantine
strategies, including limiting
travel in and out of cities that
have reported avian flu. According to the October 16 issue of the
San Diego Union-Tribune, Poland
has "banned the sale of live birds
at open-air markets and ordered
farmers to keep poultry in closed
quarters..." While national health
organizations are scrambling to
develop and implement strategies forfightingthis threat, there
are currently no plans to regulate
travel.
During the SARS epidemic in
2003, travelers coming in ajid
out of Asia were screened for
the virus. Travelers exhibiting
signs of fever or respiratory distress were not allowed to fly. In
a report in the Journal of Infection, A.G. Gupta evaluated the
efficacy of quarantine during the
SARS outbreak. He reported,
"Our results indicate that quarantine is effective in containing
newly emerging infectious diseases, and also cost saving when
compared to not implementing a
widespread containment mechanism." And, he concluded,
"Despite somewhat daunting initial costs, quarantine saves both
lives and money."
The United States Department
of Health and Human Services
issued a Draft Pandemic Influenza Response and Preparedness
Plan on August 26, 2004. In the
press release which accompanied
the Plan, then-HHS Secretary
Tommy Thompson said, "This
plan will serve as our roadmap
on how we as a nation, and as a
member of the global health community, respond to the next pandemic influenza out break, whenever that may be."
According to the Pandemic
Plan, the spread of SARS, and
other infectious influenzas in
the past, was greatly reduced by
quarantining infectious people,
as well as closing off uninfected
areas to travel. The difficulty
with quarantine in the current
epidemic is that the incubation time for this specific virus
is up to 14 days, which means
that apparently healthy, yet contagious, people will be able to
travel. While the U.S. government has a detailed plan in place
to manage the spread of avian
flu, its success depends greatly
on public cooperation. The Pandemic Influenza Plan and more
information can be found on the
government web site at www.
pandemicflu.gov.
New vaccines must be developed each year because the
strain changes. Flu season runs
between October and March, and
the best time to be vaccinated is
October or November. December, however, is not too late. The
shot can take up to two weeks to
become effective.
Last season'sfluvaccine shortage caused long lines and generated panic. There are no shortages
being reported so far this year,
and people are being encouraged
to get a flu shot as soon as possible. Most insurance companies
don't cover the cost, which can be
anywhere from $10 to $35. The
Flu Mist vaccine, which contains
the live flu virus, is available
for about $35 in limited areas to
healthy people between the ages
offiveand 49.
Although no vaccine exists yet
tofightthe avianflustrain of influenza, there are precautions that
people can take to protect themselves and others from becoming
sick. For example, focus on regular exercise and good nutrition;
a healthy body has better immunity. Wash hands frequently, and
if you become ill, stay home to
avoid infecting others. Get a flu
shot; even if it's not for the avian
flu strain, the shot will prevent
you from catching this year's
strain and prevent a weakened
immune system.
If you catch the flu in spite
of these precautions, there are
medications which can shorten
the duration of the flu. Tamiflu,
the brand name of the anti-viral
medication amantadine, must be
prescribed by a doctor within 48
hours of the onset of thè flu. For

Halloween education vacation
Pride editor visits

Pride Staff Writer
Last week, when I might have
simply made myself festively sick
on candy and rubber, fortune's
gourd decided to smile upon me.
In reality she was smiling primarily on my friend, but I caught
her eerie glow by proxy.
You see, this dear friend of
mine, a moderate authority on a
number of things oft-associated
with Halloween, was again called
upon by a former Palomar College professor to serve as a timely
guest speaker. Although this professor now lectures at Case Western University in Cleveland, she
was able to treat out some private funds to provide travel and
boarding fees for both himself
and a guest-assistant.
It's hard enough to afford rent

pleasure travel from it, so I naturally jumped at the opportunity.

�Pride investigates
LTWR and Mathematics professors speak out
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
In the interest of everyone at CSUSM,
the Pride has brought together two
interviews, one conducted last semester
directly with professor Susan Fellows of
the LTWR department, the other by recent
email to Professor Marshall Whittlesey
of Mathematics. Here they both respond
to questions regarding grade inflation,
an issue equally pertinent to all sides
of the report card. Hopefully, through
comparing answers given by educators
in such contrastedfields,readers will
gain both insight and foresight into their
college experience.
S. Fellows:
Do we have the same concept of
what grade inflation equates to, that
of lowering academic standards
concerning what earns one grade over
another?
Yeah, absolutely.
One theory circulating is that9 in
the United States, this became truly
epidemic during the Vietnam War
where professors lowered standards to
save students from the draft. Is that
accurate?
I don't know if that's the reason, but it
certainly happened that it was what's
known as the 'great dumbing down.'
Classes that were formerly taught weren't
taught because they were no longer
'relevant'. That's when you began to
get a slippage of realrigorousacademic
thinking. And I saw it a lot in what was
being produced in the colleges at that time.
The late 60s, early 70s?
I'd say more in the early 70s. And I'm not
aware of it being part of the draft, it could
very well be. I certainly would do that.
Hypothetically, "if" it's happening
here, would it be something that would
be formally practiced by the professors
practice of their own volition, or would
it be something encouraged directly by
the administrators?
I'm seeing now with incoming freshman
is that they are-not-educated-to-the-levelthey-should-be to go to die university.
We have too much remediation, and one
semester cannot undo 7th through 12th very
poor education.
I have a lot of students who've never read
a book.
What effects do you see beyond the
classroom?
Well, I think the administrative level of
speaking about it is: 'we will not have
grade inflation, graderigorously'BUT
were supposed to graduate people on time,
and we're supposed to get them through
our classes expeditiously. Students are
paying a lot of money for the classes,
taking out loans, so it seems a subtext
where you want to give them as much
the advantage of the doubt as possible.
If they're really doing failing work, they
don't pass the class. But on the other
hand if they're doing ' C' work and need
a ' B' to get into graduate school, well, I
don't care, nobody seems to be saying
anything.
So the unspoken thing is 'just get help
them through, because they've had such a
lousy high school education, and they're
so unaware, so just help them get through
and maybe they can learn something at
some other point. But I think it's VERY
uneven among the professors. It's much
more difficult in the humanities because
things are more abstract and subjective,
it's much easier to berigorouswith the
sciences.
One theory circulating is that, in
the United States, this became truly
epidemic during the Vietnam War
where professors lowered standards to
save students from the draft. Is that
accurate?
Businesses are complaining a lot that new
hires don't know how to write, they don't
know how to think, they just want to go
through the motions. We're not going
to come up with new paradigms if we
don't understand how to take elements
in a historical process. We are going to
suffer as a country if we don't know how
to take a risk in thinking. And if you look
at China and India, they're way ahead of
us. If you just pick up "The Economist"
you'll see we're in their debt financially
and now intellectually as well.
What do you think we can do to
counteract this?
I have a theory that we need to blow up
the entire school system and start over,
because the people already in the middle
of it are lost. Unless you've been lucky
How do you respond to the speculation
that grade inflation, as it exists now,
is a means of keeping enrollment
numbers up, or at least maintained?
e nough t o c ome from a background
with really good educational access, the
California school systems is in a freefall.
Blowing it up is really radical, but I
honestly don't know at this point. And
it's not that we don't have good teachers,
but we don't pay teachers enough to
encourage them to go into education.
I don't know, that would imply some kind
of conspiracy theory, I don't know. I
just know that the UC, CSU, community
colleges are paid by the number of
students sitting in the classrooms. I would
hate to think that.. .but it may be.
M. Whittlesey:
At the school now there are no
administrators officially encouraging it,
but it's indirect?
Do we have the same concept of
what grade inflation equates to, that
of lowering academic standards
concerning what earns one grade over
another?
Exactly.
What are some of the effects you're
seeing now?
I think our concept is basically the same.
But the exact scale would not matter
so much, if only grades distinguished
Well I'm really worried, because what
E gg Donors Needed
people. Part of the problem is that when
grade inflation happens, more people are
getting the same kinds of grades (A and
B, usually). If everybody is getting A
and B, how do people (e.g., employers)
determine which students are better than
others? Maybe the problem of grade
inflation is more one of selective inflation:
some grades get raised (B,C, etc.) but you
can't make A any higher than it is already.

the administrators?
Well, it depends on what you mean
by 'own volition'. Every professor is
evaluated by students at the end of the
semester and works with the knowledge
that those evaluations might affect his or
her career. And every professor knows
that students with higher grades are
happier students, and happier students
usually give better evaluations. If a

But I think the effect of that historical
event is minimal today. There are
plenty of other current trends to explain
what's going on. More people are
going to college expecting to pass; there
are political pressures in that. Higher
education is big business; institutions
are expected to grow. The state gives us
admission targets, so we admit students
to reach those. Are we supposed to
expect that graduation rates will remain
the same? If so, that can result in grade
inflation. Also, the rise of student
evaluations in the 1960s made it a lot
tougher to be hard on students - if your
career depends on what students say about
you, you're probably going to go easier
on them.

SUPPORTA WORTHY CAUSE
�grade inflation
on controversial education topic
professor decides to give higher grades
than he/she otherwise might give without
that evaluation pressure, is that their own
volition, or pressure from above?
I don't know any in the sciences who
give higher grades just because they felt
like it. (I really know little about grading
outside the sciences.) But we all do have
a general sense that failure rates shouldn't
be too high. I can't say I have felt any
pressure from above, however - and I give
lot of low grades. It would be rare if an
administrator encouraged this 'directly'.
For the record, student evaluations are
mandated by the collective bargaining
agreement between the faculty and
the state of California. How they are
used exactly is determined by local
promotion and tenure committees, and
administrators.
Have you ever worked for, or seen
a school where grade inflation was
happening?
Could you describe what you've
seen as, or what would see as
inconsistencies in academic
standards?
e lect, i t's r easonable t o e xpect standards

Also, nowadays people are a lot more
likely to expect/demand that college

so than fifty years ago. If college is a

Different departments have different
grading cultures. Some give a lot of low
grades and others do not.
Some of the future implications?
What effects do you see beyond the
classroom?
The real problem with grade inflation is
that grades cease to become meaningful
to people who look at transcripts. If
employers hire one of our graduates
with lots of good grades and they cannot
do basic things, we have a credibility
problem. Future effects: more employers
not taking B A degrees seriously, and
more people going to graduate programs
because their college transcript isn't
meaningful enough.
Colleges need to decide what the purpose
of grading is. Are we trying to provide
a system whereby students' talent can be
distinguished? Is a class where everybody
gets A or B meaningful?
What do you think can be done to
counteract grade inflation, and or the
30
if I'm
fear of it?
(1) I think the current minimum GPA's
for graduation are too high. Title V of
the state education regulations require
that every students graduate with a GPA
of at least 2.0 overall and in their major.
What does this accomplish? It's just a
pie-in-the-sky Lake Wobegon ' we're
all above average' ideal that we can't
possibly reach. If the min GPA were 1.0,
would our graduates be any different? I
doubt it. Grades given might be lower,
but it wouldn't reflect less learning, just
a different grading scale, and would be
more meaningful to employers.
(2) If faculty felt assured that their careers
would not be jeopardized (via student
evaluations) by giving bad grades, that
would make a difference.
(3) We need to return dignity to the grade
of C. Nowadays, it's often the lowest
possible grade to get by to something else,
and most people regard it as a bad grade.
(4) Students and the public at large need
to be made aware of the effects of grade
inflation: that their degrees are taken less
seriously.
Whether perceived as a mixed blessing, or
slow poison, surely there are few students
and fewer educators, entirely willing to
dismiss grade inflation as a bureaucratic
phantom. The Pride sincerely hopes
to investigate this matter further with
the help of both students, staff and the
administration.

are easier graders than we are. I don't
have any study to back that up, though.

What
Well, enrollment is probably a factor.
We're in this business to make a living,
after all. I think it is not as much of a
factor here as it is elsewhere, however.
My reasons for saying so are (1) when
a student fails a class, it's not as much
of a financial calamity as it is at private
institutions. Students know they can take
the course again for a modest fee. I fail
far more students here than the private
institution I once worked at. There, failing
students results in lots of angry parents
who spent tens of thousands of dollars
on their kid and they will complain. (2)
California, Cal State and North County in
particular are growing so fast that we don't
seem to have too much trouble finding
students to come here. (3) If we lose
enrollment to community colleges because
we grade too hard, the state isn't as likely
to give us a hard time about it, because
the community colleges cost the state less
money.
This is a big factor. In the last few
decades many more people have started
going to college who in past generations
would not have. I fcollegiate education

What of more macrocosmic theories,
that political forces are encouraging a

That's hard to answer yes or no, mainly
because it's hard to tell if one is being
consistent from semester to semester
in grading rigor. I don't give the same
exams semester to semester, so I can't
compare students exactly.

THE PRIDE
University Village expansion
BY SHELLY MONROE
Pride Staff Writer
In Spring of2006, there will be
a market study conducted, which
will determine when new residential hall apartments will be
coming to Cal State San Marcos.
This study will look at University needs, student expectations,
affordability, building costs, and
student and University needs.
Cal State San Marcos will be
working with a marketing consulting firm who will interview
students, study surrounding
rental markets, look at the future
of enrollment, the cost of construction and evaluate when they
might be able to afford to build a
project that will have full occupancy, when they open the residential hall apartments.
University Village Director,
Brian Dawson says, "The campus
has planned for multiple stages of
housing to be built with the goal
of housing between seven to ten
percent of the student population. We currently house only
four percent of students with 468
beds. The University is looking
at constructing a parking deck
and housing to be built for 20102011, if the market study shows
this demand." During the next
ten years, Cal State San Marcos
expects to add more housing next
to the existing University Village, and plans to develop a new
location just to the southeast of
the existing faculty/staff parking
lot.
Currently, University Village housing costs are set to
increase three percent per year
annually to cover the increased
expenses of utilities, staffing and
maintenance. Depending on what
the university builds next, the
cost may be more or less depending on the demand and construction costs.
The university wants to provide
excellent services where a student can succeed in school. With
the market study, the university
will see what services students
want and need, the cost of building and managing and how much
students are willing to pay for
these services.
"What it means for students,
is more access to Cal State San
Marcos. Some college students
consider only those colleges
where they can be assured of
having on-campus housing. More
live-on campus opportunities for
freshman and depending upon
demand and enrollment growth,
possibly more space for students
who want to live on campus more
than one or two years," mentioned

Jock talk with Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
I don't know
why, but I
still can't sit
through a whole
hockey game.
I really have
tried.
A fter
I've turned the
game on I've taped my eyelids to
my eyebrows, thrown away the
remote control, and tied myself to
a chair. However, the T.V. somehow finds its way to a basketball
or football game.
I thought that after the short
hiatus I would have been more
interested. I watch the occasional
period or two of the Kings game
whenever I pass by Fox Sports
Net. Now that the Outdoor Life
Network is carrying NHL games,
the sport is no longer on my radar.
I mean, I don't even know what
channel OLN is on.
I do like the rule changes that
the NHL has adopted, such as
shoot outs if there is no winner
after overtime, and the limitation
on goalie equipment. However,
the sport just doesn't interest me,
and no, it's not because I can't
skate more than two feet without
falling down and catching frostbite.
I think Comedian Alonzo
Bodden said it best when he
claimed it's hard to like a sport
where the darkest thing on the ice
is the puck that everyone is trying
to smack. There is truth behind
all humor and Alonzo brings up
the point of diversity.
Several months ago I was at
The Laugh Factory in Hollywood
for a taping of the "Best Damn
Sports Show Period". Alonzo
was one of the comedians on the
show, and after his set I had a
conversation with him about this
subject. I came to the realization
why Hockey hasn't peaked my
interest to this point in my life.
I can't identify with any of
the hockey players. Off the top
of my head I don't know of any
Latin hockey players. Please, if
you know of one, bring it to my
attention. Also, without doing
research, the only African-American hockey player I know of is
Donald Brashear. Once again, if
you know of others then drop me
an E-mail.
It's widely known that in the
hood or barrio there are more basketball courts and baseball fields
than ice rinks, which explains
why there are so few great Caucasians in the NBA, and hardly
any great African-Americans
and Latinos in the NHL.
Why is this accepted? Is this
just another form of segregation?
I know all of you don't want to
hear this, especially those of you
who complain that I don't write
enough about sports, but it's
something that's on my mind.
I mean I haven't even been to a
hockey games and sports consume a large portion of my life.
I want to like hockey, but in
order for things to change, the
sport is going to need a Tiger
Woods. Look what happened
to the game of golf when Tiger
began having success. AfricanAmericans all of a sudden hit the
links in unison. The same can
happen in hockey.
Don't act like this is Calculus.
It is really quite simple. When
you see someone doing something positive, and they look like
you, it helps you realize that you
can do what they are doing.
I don't know when the Tiger of
the NHL will roar, but I am sure I
won't have to tie myself to a chair
to watch.
If you have any praise (haha,
who am I kidding?), topic suggestions, questions, comments
(No, I am not going to stop talking about serious issues), or concerns then send an E-mail to

my eyes, college ought to be a

just expect students to act more
like Socrates, and less like Jerry
Springer.
Part 2: Would Joe/Sally Taxpayer be likely to agree to appropriate his/her tax dollars to the
state so that an institution could

things that help everyone. Furthermore, I think that some
people simply take for granted the
fact that public institutions are in
large part financed by the public.
Such a fact ought to compel those
in charge of our funds to show an
interest in being accountable to
taxpayers.
Part 3: Would you reveal to
your younger sister that you
organized/hosted an event for a
sex-worker advocate? Call me
a softie, but I care very much
about the sort of America that
my younger sister grows up in. It
seems as though there is already
plenty of pressure/influence on
younger woman these days to
engage in random sexual acts.
I can't imagine one trying to
explain to his/her younger sister
why he/she organized/hosted an
event for people that don't seem
to care about such an influence.
So for the foregoing reasons,
your political commentator feels
disappointed that his student
government would host such an
event. And sitting here in Kellogg Library, I'm looking at my
fellow scholars and wondering if
they too feel disappointed. If you
folks do, then I might consider
that to be evidence that the political climate here on campus is a
healthy one. If you folks do not,
then I'm probably just an elitist,
uptight, fraud of a liberal.

Kenny plays at M-Theory Records
BY BRYAN MASON
Pride Staff Writer
Andrew Kenny, the lead singer of The
American Analog Set, made a solo performance in a dark corner of M-Theory
Records, a North Park record shop. The
solo performance on Wednesday Nov. 2,
2005, was scheduled before the band's set
later that night at The Casbah.
The crowd waited, as 8 o'clock turned
to 8:15. Finally around 8:30, a black oldschool Chevy pulled up to the curb. Local
resident and musician Jimmy LaVelle, the
brain child behind "The Album Leaf,"
stepped out of the car with non other than
Andrew Kenny himself. They pushed
through the crowd and towards the back of
the store, short-stack amp in hand, with a
fellow band member carrying his guitar.
After Kenny spent a short time setting
up, the music in the store came to a halt
as the needle was lifted from the record
player with an abrupt scratch.
"Testing," said Kenny, then with a
couple of taps on the microphone, he introduced himself in a saccharine way. Jumping right into the songs, Kenny started
with "Jr," a soft blend of guitar and Kenny's easy voice. He immediately thanked
the crowd for applauding after the end of
thefirstsong, noting something about San
Diego's weather.
For the next song, Kenny played
"Immaculate Heart 1," which was a little
more upbeat than the first. The song, off
of the new album "Set Free," was different

to hear without the full band, but Kenny
pulled even this solo performance off with
grace, not missing a single beat as he made
it clear that he was there to entertain.
For the last songs, Kenny played a mixture of fast and slow. The crowd responded
to these songs with a variety of expres-
sions, some patrons looked awe-struck,
others looked content.
Kenny later went on to play a twentyone and up show at The Casbah later that
night.
The short pre-show at M-Theory was a
great way to get in touch with fans and for

Movie night f or C SUSM students
BY JASON SAUMUR
Pride Staff Writer
Students have the opportunity
and option to attend a free movie
with student ID in hand. Edward's
Cinemas and ASI are proud to
present free student movie night
every month at nine p.m. located
at Edwards Cinemas 18 on 1180
West San Macros in the city of
San Marcos.
This month, on Nov. 15,
Edward's will offer the war movie
"Jarhead" at the nine p.m. showing for all students to view free
with student ID.
"Our goal in promoting and
providing this activity is to offer
students a venue to attend a
movie they may have wanted to
see but couldn't afford while at
the same time fostering a sense of
community by having a group of
Cal State San Marcos students at
a movie together," said Elizabeth
Sheets, director of social programming on the ASI Programming Board about the significance of the event to the CSUSM
campus.
Since Cal State San Marcos
is commonly considered a commuter school, the ASI Programming Board promotes a more
sustained connection of its student body i o campus and the surrounding community.
Sheets also added that ASI
attempts to schedule movie nights
for Tuesdays because with registration to the Regal Crown Card,
students can get free popcorn
along with a free movie.
According to <www.imdb.
com>, "Jarhead" chronicles the
missions of a Marine unit during
Operations Desert Shield and
Desert Storm in the Middle East.
The movie stars Jake Gyllenhaal
and Jamie Foxx.

DeGuzman noted that many

sales tax on student books, an
initiative that would save students some money if California would ever consider such a

�New Information on Annual Security Report for CSUSM
BY ALEX LOPEZ
Pride Staff Writer
Chief Aaron Woodward of thé
University Police has informed
us, along with a small green
mailer, that the Gal State San
Marcos annual security report
has gathered crime statistics
within the last three years. These
reports give information on
crimes that occurred on campus,
in certain off campus buildings,
or property owned or controlled
by Cal State San Marcos, and on
public property within. According to Woodward, the report
also includes institutional poli-

her speech promoting academic
excellence, student life, campus
atmosphere, partnerships and
fairness at Cal State San Marcos.
Reflecting on short and long term
campus goals, President Haynes
hopes that "Cal State San Marcos
will be known for its retention of
graduation rates and student satisfaction."
CSUSM has already implemented a reduced degree requirement to 120 units to be eligible
for graduation, and plans to
further adopt pro-retention rate
polices by encouraging students
to declare their major earlier on
in a student's academic career^
providing detailed academic
roadmaps and improving counseling services to students.
President Haynes focused most
of her time to issues surrounding
the enhancement of student life
on campus through expanding
residence halls, athletic programs
and creating a one-stop shop for
students in Craven Hall. The third
floor of Craven Hall is being converted into a one-stop shop, with
admissions, cashier office, enrollment, The Pride staff office and
other student services, all located
in one general area. The courtyard located on the third floor,
formerly known as the Library
Plaza, will be renamed 'Cougar
Courtyard' and be a designated
area to host events and festivities
on campus.

legacy will and should be built on
the student satisfaction experience here on our campus," concluded President Haynes.
Academic Blueprint
"We are now planning for a
new college," said Robert Sheath,
university provost. New degree
programs are being introduced in
upcoming semesters at CSUSM.
Kinesociology and Biotechnology are among the new degree
programs that were initiated in
Spring and Fall 2005. Occupational Therapy, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Mass Media and
Broader Studies, Environmental
Studies and a Speech Therapy
degree will be offered in Fall
2006 through the College of Education and Business Administration will soon offer two areas
of emphasis in either Finance or
Marketing.
'Cranovations' and
campus services
Neal Hoss, vice president of
Finance and Administrative Services, asked for campus "patience
in moving a lot ofpeople around,"
in response to the so-called
!cranovations\ (craven renovations). In development of this
student one-stop shop, mentioned
early by President Haynes, Hoss
explained how a website is being
I'm
constructed to help students
familiarize themselves with the
Craven changes.
"We are reworking how we
interact with students," said Hoss.
Cranovations will allow students
to easily access fundamental university services without having
to refer to directories or weave
through Craven Hall.
In addition, Parking Services
has recently opened Lot H welcoming in 111 spaces, and in Fall
2006, Lot F is scheduled t o open
with 1200 to 1600 spaces. In the
year 2010-2011 a parking structure will be built to accommodate 2000-2700 vehicles. These
expansions are funded solely on
a past-student approved initiative to* increase parking fees to
develop more parking spaces.
The second installment of that
prior student vote, will be implemented in Spring 2006, affecting
parking permit costs going from
$35 a month to $75 a month, mentioned Hoss. Such fee increases
are a result of how parking funding is only supported through
student fees and no other funds
can be diverted to subsidized
parking costs.
Touching base on Police issues,
Hoss reported that the University
Police, Department is working on'
communicative strategies focusing on addressing and implementing the services outlined by
the investigative Task Force.
Escort services are now available through the police department, and soon a new crime tips
sex crimes are violations of criminal and civil law, and never tolerated.
"They also constitute serious breaches of student or
employee conduct as well,'' the
website states, and encourages
anyone who has been a victim
of sexual' assault, including date
or acquaintance rape, to report
the incident to the Cal State San
Marcos Police, or any off campus
police.
The Annual Security Report is
available largely because the University Police believes that a wellinformed community remains a

Student Code of
Conduct
Pat Worden, interim vice president of Student Affairs, discussed
the changes to Title V dealing
with Student Code of Conduct.
Title V has not been updated in
ten years, but with new definitions of misconduct the original
14 categories have been expanded
to 20 categories detailing student
misconduct policies.
Worden explained how the definition of dishonesty was broadened to include cheating, academic plagiarism, falsification of
information, misrepresentation
and falsifying documents. All of
these topics are mentioned in the
terms of the new Title V.
Hazing has been clarified to
differentiate 'customary athletic
events' from true acts of hazing.
The new policy precludes defense

student misconduct. Title V also
includes the misuse of computers

C SU Student Trustee

Corey Jackson, California State
University student trustee, drove
104 miles to address the many
issues in CSU, primarily the current issue of funding.
"It's important to understand
we're under-funded due to state
budget troubles," Jackson said.
"Higher education needs to be a
priority in our state. Higher education relies on how much we're
willing to sacrifice to ensure
that our voices are being heard.
Aré we going to give more for a
greater good, or maintain status

�An evening with the University Police
BY BRYAN MASON
Pride Staff Writer
On Saturday October 22,1 was
fortunate enough to participate in
a police 'ride along' with Officer
Troy Holmes of the University
Police.
Sgt. Flores, officer in charge of
the ride along program, showed
me around the station upon
arrival. We toured their locker
and break rooms, and even took
a look at the infamous breathalyzer.
Officer Hernandez of the University Police showed me how the
device operated, as well as how
to perform the state-required routine testing of the machine itself.
After a look at some of the
numerous types of forms and
paperwork, I went with Sgt.
Flores toward the squad cars. The
particular car we looked at came
equipped with plastic backseats,
which Sgt. Flores said "eliminates the possibilities of suspects
hiding contraband in the cushions of the seats." Along with the
numerous safety and road objects
in the trunk of the car, the dashboard and center console had
been turned into a huge radio, in
which the U.P. was able to obtain
signals from all over the greater
San Diego Region.
By seven o'clock I met the
officer I'd be riding with. Officer Troy Holmes greeted me in
the lobby of the building and we
quickly went to his squad car to
prepare for the night shift.
At the beginning of each shift
Officer Holmes inspects the vehicle to ensure that all lights and
functions perform properly, this
includes unloading, inspecting,
and reloading the shotgun.
After contacting dispatch,
Holmes explained that we were
going to "check the campus,
the beat check, and make sure
nothing is out of the ordinary."
We patrolled the campus, and
unlocked a door for a student in
need of a late night recording
room.
Back on the streets, we made
our first stop, pulling over a
truck that made an illegal Uturn on Twin Oaks Valley Rd.
After approaching the vehicle
and talking with the driver,
Holmes returned to the squad car
to retrieve his Citation book. He
issued the man a citation, who
had confessed that he had seen
the sign. Later Holmes noted
that it was a "posted sign and he
didn't obey it," that it is "our job
is to provide a safe environment
for the community" and when the
driver veered across lanes it was
clearly a risk to fellow motorists.
The second stop was rather
amusing. After seeing two men
standing in the road, we noticed a
San Marcos Sheriff parked up the
street, watching them. Holmes

drove up and asked what the deal
was.
Apparently the men had run
their car off the road, and it had
required a tow. Before it was
taken, however, the two men
had scrambled to grab boxes full
of pornography out of the back.
After the towing service left the
men then spilled the box of pornography while attempting -to
carry it across the street. Pornography was scattered across
the streets of San Marcos as the
two men raced to pick it up. We
exited the scene leaving any further involvement up to the discretion of the San Marcos Sheriffs.
Two more routine stops were
made throughout the rest of the
ride along, both for broken tail
lights. Holmes said "it's a slow
night tonight, you should have
been here Thursday, we had our
hands full." Afterwards, Holmes
dropped me off to continue the
rest of his twelve hour shift.
Overall it was a great experience. The University Police are
doing their best to enforce the
law in a safe and fair manner,
not simply issuing tickets. Officer Holmes, Sgt. Flores and the
rest of the staff of the University
Police are helping to create a safe
and positive campus for us to
attend, and help spur the growth
and development of the school as
a whole. I'd encourage students
to help them by being safe and
understanding the law.

The Komen Foundation hot pink
Go™ trailer stopped at Cal State San
Marcos on Friday, Oct. 28, to help
bring breast cancer awareness to
campus. Cal State San Marcos was
the only university that the trailer
set up during the four day "On the
Way to the Cure" tour.
The Komen Foundation local San
Diego affiliate is wrapping up a
four day tour in southern California
according to Katie Parker, community outreach director. The foundation handed outflyersand postcards.
In the trailer there were laptops set
up for people to view instructional
videos on how to detect breast
cancer.
"Early detection of breast cancer
saves lives and is not a death sentence," said Parker. The trailer had
an estimated 150 visitors in a three
hour time period. Parker went on
to explain how signing up on their
Web site will keep students up to
date on issues in Congress that concern breast cancer funding.
The trailer was set up with laptop
computers that played videos on
how to detect early signs of breast
cancer. The videopBSE Brest SelfExam, can be found at the main
website for the Komen Foundation,
www.komen.org. The video covers

feel for lumps during an exam. It
states that women should perform
monthly exams starting at the age of
20. The exams should be done the
same time every month and preferably right after the menstrual cycle.
"Most people know us from
Komen Race for the Cure®. But,
since we began in 1982, the Foundation and its Affiliates have raised
more than $300 million for breast
cancer research, education, screening and treatment. It is credited as
the nation's leading catalyst in the
fight against breast cancer," said the
San Diego Komen Foundation Web
site, www.sdkomen.org.
Nationally, the Komen Foundation sponsors annual walks and a
fundraiser to help raise awareness
and funding for breast cancer. Seventy-five percent of money raised in
San Diego stays here, according to
the Web site. There is a "Race for
the Cure" event scheduled for Nov.
6. More information can be found

BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
there is no way a great male athlete can be gay. It's funny how
that works out.
Female athletes in the past
have already done what Swoopes
has done, so for those of you who
want to make a big deal about
this, it really isn't. Tennis player
Martina Navratilova is probably
the most notable female athlete to
say she likes women.
I am just waiting for the first
male athlete to say he likes dudes
so that this topic can soon go
away, because I am sick of discussing it. If you can ball on the
court I don't care if you do or
don't play with another dude's

you who have already started to

you can't ball I don't care what
your orientation is.
CSUSM Women's Golf Places 11th
at Monterey Bay
The women's golf team landed in
11th place October 25,2005, at
the Golf Mart/Lady Otter
Invitational, hosted by Cal State
Monterey Bay at the Fort Ord
Golf Course in Seaside. The
course is 73-par,
5,957-yards. The Cougars had
a two-round score of689 (346343). Twenty teams
competed.
Anyways, the one thing that
does interest me about this whole
topic is that Swoopes brings up
the whole debate about whether
or not people are born gay or
turned gay. Swoopes said that
she was not born gay but, rather,
became gay. She was married to a
man at one point and has a child.
This fascinates me because as a
straight guy I have no perspective
on this and I always hear different takes on it. I guess it's one of
those questions that will never be
answered, like what came first,
the chicken or the egg?
The one thing that I don't want
to se8 happen as a result of this
is to see Swoopes with a book
and movie deal. I wouldn't be
surprised, because others have
capitalized after their announcements. Billy Bean capitalized

�The momentum of sloth
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
One thing we know about the Big Seven,
apart from all leading to physical, mental
or emotional satisfaction, is that after Avarice and Gluttony prove too costly, Pride
and Wrath too timely, and Lust and Envy
too likely to be guilty virtues; an idle hand
remains the favored tool.
And who can blame Old Scratch for letting the nails pound themselves in? And
goodness knows there can be counted,
among the faithful and dead, plenty who
envision Paradise as a place free of toil,
with hardly anyone on their feet, hardly
anyone at all.
We can't draw our dualism pistols just
yet though, not till we've truly examined the thrice-saluted snooze button,
the reclined request, and the time killed,
butchered every which way to get out of
kitchen duty. We have to dig the root of
one tree before we can jam the fruit of the
other, and what better vantage point to
start than the hammock swaying serene
between addictive personalities, and personal medication.
Let's start with me, I'll subject myself
to your stares. After all, it's been said
(usually by those spoiled by their own
good looks) that 'shy' people are merely
selfish,
Indeed, couldn't the same be said, and
with greater ease to boot, of those 'slackers', those lie-abouts, those lethargic leisure leeches?
The power in the term 'Lazy' is really
not so passive-aggressive, nor so counterproductive as one might think. I've used it
on myself countless times, both as a way to
turn a subscription into an ailment, and to
preserve my Avarice with a little prodded
Pride. Sometimes, it works, others, I don't.
Make no mistake; I like being productive, I like the rush of achievement and the
glow of study. The danger and the problem and the life of it is: Sloth isn't the
denouncement of work, but the avoidance,
the replacement of work.
And the best way to do that is with other
work.
Study a page or screen other than the
one assigned.
Improve the high score rather than balance the budget.
The danger is that wolfish indulgence
can become sheepish diversion, a soothing
white wash till you smell the clean bleach
burn-away, till you realize how easily,
how Easy for how Quick and Strong, how
something from almost no effort becomes
something with absolutely no interest, and
seemingly no escape.
You're still in the game, but you've left
the zone
You've reached Nirvana ...but you're
still in your rotting body.
This gentle slothe is a deadly decline,
not because it's slippery, but because
we're either water seeking the path of least
resistance, or fire dying to consume-propagate everything, all the while fancying
ourselves as rising steam.
The trick is not to get caught up contemplating womb re-creation retreats," or
buying poverty as a symptom of laziness
like affluence as a symptom of nobility.
Ask yourselves why most people want
money so that they can not worry about
it, while those who have it want it so that
they can get more of it. Ask yourself,
when next someone slaps your idle hand,
if they're more worried you'll forget the
value of their employment, or that you'll
realize the value of your time.
There's no great mystery behind our
unmotivated-epidemic. In fact, it likely
has more to do with efficiency than lethargy. Even ifthe average American is reading, voting, and generally thinking less,
they're realizing that they're still working
more, but that half the effort often gets
the same results. One by one we're noticing that, despite loving our bootstraps
so much more than the rest of the world
(that place where we get our stuff and citizens), 'self-made fortune' still sounds like
an oxymoron. Little by little people, who
need less money to retire than their boss
needs to feel like the boss, are realizing
that "I don't want to" isn't half so scary as
"why should I".
To everyone understandably insulted, or
otherwise threatened by my lack of regard
for their ambition, their awesome and oh so
rare desire to special, I've an offer you can't
refuse. Take a moment to wonder if you're
half the boss you think you are, another
moment for the opposite implication of
that question, and yet another to thank
the masses for not being 'hard-working'
enough to have made your ascent that
much more unlikely. The only trick now
is to make them feel indebted to you, more
interested in your sadly limited money
rather than their currently limited time.
That's right. Currently.
You see, the more time we 'kill' the
more valuable time becomes, the less satisfied we are with 80 years to spend when
it seems we need at least 20 to waste.
Perhaps, on an ambitious note, if doctors
cured our lifespan first, they'd have the
time to cure the rest.
Naturally, there's no end in sight to the
majority held by those who want to live,
but mostly die, supernaturally. But surely
they must realize that pious knees can
also benefit from more time allotted to
lazy asses and big heads.
I believe it was the "Screwtape Letters"
in which a Demon instructed his nephew
on how to bring about a man's fall by convincing him that his time was his own.
Give credit where you will for what you
Will, but ask yourself: does the signature on your paycheck appear on all your
waking hours?
Perhaps we'll never see the day when
everyone takes pride and sometimes
money in all the work and play they do.
Maybe we don't deserve to. It's equally
possible, however, that instead of taking
vacations from our 925s and GPAs, we
might give our toil some time in the numbbubble, and be hurt rather than herded by
the spectacle of those who would long
for the days when they could live like a
slaves^ officially.
Even if it costs us our love affair with
the Last Minute or our dream of having
enough to be afraid that someone higher
will give it to someone lesser, try taking
the carrot off the stick, impaling it with
the pin on your easy chair, and take stock
of how much of you has been made under
your terms, on your time.
We're all afraid of a wasted investment,
but the roots of your boredom and unsatisfying exhaustion need your water a lot
more than your need their fruit.
Student
voices
opinion
on ASI
I must say that on behalf of all of
the prudish conservatives on campus, I
laugh in the face of ASI and the campus
in general.
First, we've got the University Hour. I
understand that ASI wants us to live on a
commune, but for those of us that have to
work for a living, a big chunk out of my
time doesn't exactly work for me.
Why not let us be pro-choice? If I want
to get involved, I will. Why force me
to do something I don't want to? Don't
push your beliefs on me, ASI! It's hard
enough getting by, but having to rearrange everything just so I can build some
relationships with people that I don't
really get along with isn't all that appealing to me.
Second, for a campus that promotes
diversity, I again must laugh; Michael
Moore, Chariot the Harlot, and coming
soon, Peter Camejo. Why is it that when
conservatives come, there is a panel discussion, yet when it's a liberal pushing
their ideals, they just get to "lecture"?
Honestly, I have no problems with lunatics like Michael Moore speaking; he
only embarrasses himself. However,
when my fees go to pay for these loonies
like Camejo, I should at least get someone from the other side. In a case like
this, I must ask: "Where's Ann Coulter,
Michael Medved, Dick Morris, Sean
Hannity?" Where is ASI to raise thousands of dollars to bring one of them to
speak? Answer: no where. I understand
college kids are supposed to be bleedingheart liberals, but I'm more coldhearted.
I don't support the values of ASI, and
I don't support the foolish decisions they
push. For those of you reading this and
find me crazy, just remember that when
you are mugged by reality, I told you so.

m-COMM 316,
One student's experience in the Katrina aftermath
So one of my professors told
me I was an enigma . . . I'm not
sure exactly what he meant - am
I a completely puzzling person
to him? Quite possibly, after all,
my mother's spent a great deal of
her life trying to figure me out,
unsuccessfully (one day she will
give up). The latest puzzle piece
was a trip I t ook... to a disaster
site, in Slidell, LA.
I don't find it that puzzling, but
I guess many people do. For me,
sleeping in a condemned hotel;
on the floor in a ballroom with
60 complete strangers (many of
whom snored) and sharing one
shower... well, what can I say? It
was an awesome use of my vacation time. I took this trip because
I could; I had the necessary support from my bosses, co-workers,
professors, family, friends, and
neighbors. T also had vacation
time on the books and a free round
trip airline ticket in pocket. What
I did was volunteer,my time in
support of an organization that is
central to the relief efforts going
on in Slidell, LA. That organization is Noah's Wish. Noah's Wish
is a unique animal welfare organization dedicated exclusively to
rescuing and sheltering animals
in .disasters. I became affiliated t
with Noah's Wish three years ago
and am a "trained volunteer". In
some disasters the shear size of
the disaster warrants bringing on
board what we call Convergent
Volunteers:
Individuals who are not already
trained. In Slidell the ratio of
convergent volunteers per trained
volunteers was perhaps , 10 to 1.
After the initial 24-hours I was
suddenly a leader (you learn fast!)
then 2-days later I was in charge
of a whole area; rSbbits and birds,
a total of 47 animals.
When I went (Oct 5-15) the
volunteer pool was constantly
changing, one day there were 60
of us, the next 30, (The animal
count hovered around 950) and
that's how things work in a
disaster. One day everything's
great - lots of volunteers, some-
one finds ice available for sale,
the temperature stays below 90,
no one gets injured and all the
cleaning is done by early afternoon. I experienced about 4 of
those day& On other dayp the
temperature kept climbing, the
convergent volunteers had to go
back to their lives, there were no
cold drinks . . and people got
injured. But through it all are
the animals - that's why I went.
There were families coming in
looking for lost p ets... and finding them, there were people visiting their pets daily (their homes
were destroyed), and there were
still animals coming in. Few
were actual rescues, many were
strays found by neighbors and
citizens, and some even came
from other operations that were
shutting down.
Noah's Wish has been onsite
since August 31 and currently
plans to remain until midNovember. In the next week
the 60-day hold on animals will
be lifted (this was set to allow
owners adequate time to reclaim
their animals) and they will be
available for adoption. Some
will be placed into long-term
foster care with approved foster
homes These animals belong to
people who will not be able to
return to their homes any time
soon. Many more have, sadly,
been abandoned. These animals
will be adopted. Already adoption applications are on file for
many of them. Most of the animals that were surrendered by
residents have already been
adopted.* In fact, I adopted a
kitten and brought her home with
me. I've named her KC Squeaks
. . . it's short for Katrina Gat
and well, she doesn't meow, she
squeaks. She will be my daily
reminder of how
lucky I have it here!
The sights of devastation, the
tired expressions on resident's
faces and the smell will be with
me for a long-time. But so will the
feelings of joy as people and animals were reunited. I made some
new friends while volunteering in
Slidell; there is a common bond
between animal advocates. And
my final thoughts on the matter?
Going into the disaster
was filled with frustrations,
fear, and challenge but the
rewards for me would be unobtainable in any comfortable situation. If you have a compassion
for animals and think you might
want to assist Noah's Wish in the
future check out the website and
attend a Volunteer In-Field Training. If, after camping out for 3days and wrestling with
goats, geese, cats, dogs, bunnies, and or snakes etc . . . you
still think you have what it takes,
.then go for it! Your perspective
will change - you will grow - and
you never know, maybe you'll
meet your husband/wife/significant other there, not that I did, but
you might!

�Book uncovers FDR and W WII
BY JASON SAUMUR
Pride Staff Writer
Tricked into War! You're with
us or against us!
These two statements may
sound like hyperbole that President Bush said concerning terrorism or perhaps hyperbole
from 2004 Presidential candidate John Kerry during the 2004
Presidential campaign: however,
these statements are not from this
^decade. The two statements were
said in one-way or another during
Franklin Roosevelt's tenure as
President revealed by the exposé,
FDR: The Other Side of the Coin
by Former New York Senator
Hamilton Fish III.
The book chronicles Fish's
numerous disagreements with
the Roosevelt administration,
chief among them, the refusal
to prevent Hitler's invasion of
Poland during the Danzig Crisis.
What, if any, connection does this
have with the lives of CSUSM
students?- The book invites its
readers to closely examine preconceived notions about FDR's
presidency and his effectiveness
as well as preconceived notions
about cxirrent administration policies.
Using these same principles of
reexamining past events and historical figures, we can apply the
same to the present administra-
tion. The only difference being
that in FDR's time, the Internet
and 24-hour news channels didn't
exist in its current form. Following both the Sept. 11 attacks and
the War on Iraq, several informational sources, books, and
documentaries have called into
question the prevailing wisdom about the
administration's policies, event timeline, and
various political figures.
Fish provides evidence that following the
attack on Pearl Harbor;
he had come to find
out that the Japanese
repeatedly asked the
United States and Roosevelt to accept Japanese
surrender in the months
leading to Pearl Harbor.
Roosevelt refused their
surrender and essentially forced the Japanese to attack Pearl
Harbor on December 7 ,,
1941.
In relation to present day, several reports
including the Senate
Select Committee on
Intelligence's
report
on Weapons of Mass
Destruction reporting during the
lead-up to the Iraq Invasion and
the 9-11 Commission's report
surfaced that contradicts evidence table: History is not completely

was a flamboyant character who
flaunted his dandy character, even
in the small town of Holcomb.
He is soft spoken but speaks his

he says and asks for.
Clifton Collins Jr. does an
excellent job playing Perry Smith,
a well spoken criminal who captivates Capote. Smith seems to

The direction was the second
finest attribute of the film. It felt
like a Norman Rockwell painting
with everybody seemingly enjoying the Americana lifestyle of the
Midwest and big city. This backdrop gives more impact to the
bloody scenes of the murdered

The only trouble with the movie
is the genre. I expected a true
crime movie, but it was a nonfiction based on Capote's point
of view of the murders and trial.
Smith's eloquence and charm, as
portrayed by Capote, is questionable. Capote seems to begin a
romantic relationship with Smith
as he visits him in prison and listens to Smith's personal history.
This relationship almost seems
to be a part of Capote's imagination and it is unclear if Smith
is manipulating him.
I have read that the book 'In
Cold Blood' was to serve two
purposes. One was to
show the lives of the
town in the wake of
the murders and to
stand against capital
punishment. If the
movie had the same
agenda, it didn't
succeed for me. As
scenes of violence
against the family
were flashed on the
screen in memory fragments, I felt no sympathy for the two sentenced men.
This movie is not for
everybody and is probably why it is showing
in a limited number of theaters.

acting, then this is your movie. If

wait for video to see "Capote".
I expect that Hoffman will at
least be nominated for Best Actor,
if not win it. Then the movie will
probably be released
wide. It has a tendency to be slow
and Capote is a
hard character to

�Forget
'The Legend
of Zorro'
BY ALFRED CHU
Pride Staff Writer
Generally, the rule is: the sequel is not
as good as the original. This holds true in
"The Legend of Zorro." You will remember in the original, "The Mask of Zorro",
we were embraced with romance, revenge
and goofball humor. Now everything
has been replaced with a farfetched plot,
dumb characters and never ending fight
sequences that by the 100thflip,punch, kick
and thrust of the sword that I yawned.
The farfetched plot: Don Alejandro de
La Vega a.k.a. Zorro (Antonio Banderas)
saves the voting ballot for California to
enter the Union as a free state from tampering by Jacob McGivens(Nick Chinlund)
and his goons. He returns home where
his wife Elena (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and
son Joaquin (Adrian Alonso) expect him
to fulfill his promise to retire. Alejandro
refuses. Elena divorces him and confides
in Armand (Rufus Sewell), a French vineyard owner. Apparently, Armand is apart
of a secret knighthood that has developed
a powerful explosive to use against the US.
Image courtesy of Sony Pictures
Alejandro salvages his relationship with
his son while trying to win back his wife
and uncovering Armand's agenda. Wow
he's a busy guy!
The dumb characters: Elena, once
attracted to Alejandro's charm, has
become demanding. What does she
want from him? She never says. We're
left clueless. Joaquin admires Zorro for
his bravery but despises his father. He
mimics Zorro and even helps uncover the
plot. Whats confusing is that a small boy,
with that much intelligence, isn't able to
determine that Zorro is his father. He has
seen both men up-close and heard their
voices but still doesn't realize the truth.
The villains, Jacob and Armand, look
and act like villains, do nothing out of
the ordinary and therefore are not interesting.
The never ending fight sequences: they
take place on/in trains, mountains, cliffs,
farms, mansions, horseback, town square,
etc. By the looks of it, they've exploited
every location in the old west. I will admit
the fight sequences are impressive. Stunt
Coordinator Gary Powell has out done himself. The fight sequences are just too long
and too much. It's like ordering another
double when you're past legal limit.
Cut down half the fight sequences and
develop the relationship between Alejandro and Joaquin, then you have a better
movie. Thefilmcuts away every time Alejandro and Joaquin sits down and have a
father and son conversation. I felt cheated.
By the end, they do have a meaningful
conversation but I didn't care anymore and
just wanted to leave.

How to ... Spice up the night
BY AMANDA KEELEY
Pride Staff Writer
Are you tired of eating foods
that just end up making you feel
bloated and sleepy and dinners
that leave you and your partner lying on the couch with no
energy for romance? If so, it's
time to change the .menu.
There are lots of foods out
there that are aphrodisiacs that
help boost sexual stimulation and
add a little spice to an otherwise
dull night. For starters, wine is
an easy way to set the mood. A
couple of glasses help to relax and
stimulate the senses, but be careful because one glass to many
can leave you drowsy and not up
for any physical activities.
For dinner try serving up or
going out for oysters, which are
high in protein and said to bring
out passion.
:
Try feeding your lover asparagus to bring out that sensuous
side. The Vegetarian Society recommended eating asparagus for
three days for best results. Sweet
Basil stimulates sex drive and
enhances fertility.
Carrots are thought be most
stimulating to males. Carrots
are high in vitamins and betacarotene and were used by early
Middle Eastern royalty to aid in
the art of seduction.
Garlic, though you may need
a breath mint, stirs up sexual
desires. By adding a little garlic
to your pasta sauce, you're adding
a little spice to your bedroom as
well.
This may seem a little odd, but
mustard is believed to stimulate
the sexual glands and
boost sexual longing. Try eating a filet
mignon with a mustard
and peppercorn sauce.
Now on to deserts; fruits are
a great place to start. Bananas
are rich in potassium and vitamin B which are essential for sex
hormone production. Raspberries
and Strawberries, known as tfie
fruit nipples, are not only loaded
with vitamin C, but they are a
great treat to feed your lover in
front of some soft candle light. %••
If fruits not your thing then try
some chocolate. Chocolate actually contains chemicals which
effect neurotransmitters in the
brain and a caffeine like substance cailed theobromine. In
other words, it makes you feel
great.
Vanilla,
the
scent alone stimulates the senses, but the
taste increases lust.
Almonds are a great dfesert
served, as Marzipan (almond
paste), because the aroma is said
to provoke passion in a woman.
If you're looking for something
a little warmer to heat things up
try good olid ( ^ffeerCoflee contains caffeine which is a stimulant, which is a great start for an
all-nighter,
But justlike the
wine it's better served
in small douses, because to much
caffeine can act as a depressant.
If you're ready to spice up your
night then these foods are for
you, but remember food can only
take you so fan Ambience is key;
you don't want to be feeding your
lover berries while they stare at a
pile of dirty laundry.

Hurt

Women in abusive
relationships
BY AMANDA KEELEY
Pride Staff Writer
When choosing a partner, why do
some of us behave like outright masochists, seeking pleasure in pain?
How else could we describe people
who stay in relationships filled with
physical/verbal abuse, unyielding
selfishness, or plain, old-fashioned
oppression?
Often dismissed with pity, disdain,
or indifference, it's important to note
that, of those who 'get out', many
inevitably wind up back in similar
situations without fully understanding why.
In asking around, the Pride discovered some interesting similarities between people on the short end
of such arrangements. The women
interviewed seemed to understand
logically that their relationships
were not satisfying, but that something emotional, or otherwise hard
to place, kept them from making
better choices.
Sonia Ruiz, an assistant professor
at CSUSM's psychology department,
shared some interesting insights;
"The most important thing to
remember is not to 'blame the
victim' and to look outside the box
at all the factors involved."
Pride asked Dr. Maureen Fitzpatrick, another of our assistant psychology professors, what some of
the sociological or psychological
factors might be. What would cause
a woman to create and even mainSee HURT AGAIN, page 3

Harlot also highlighted how detrimental pornography is to her
industry. "Pornography is the
antithesis of eroticism" showing
women in suppressive roles with
violence directed toward them,
mentioned Harlot. Such representations put her line of work in
harm's way.
In the 27 years in the profession, Harlot has worked for massage parlors, call-girl companies,
within social circles and independently serviced private clientele.
She has been a victim of rape
and believes that through legalizing the prostitution business
laws and regulations can provide
security to the workers preventing violence from manifesting.
"Sex work is a noble and risktaking profession" said Harlot.
Her mission has been to be an
advocate for sex workers and
their allies pushing to decriminalize prostitution and make it a
shameless profession. For more

information on evaluations and
stated that he did not bring up
that topic.
"I've not had enough exposure
(to von Son) to know if he is a
good teacher," said Yanez. Yanez
also stated that he is unaware
of the administration holding
the Spanish language in higher
importance than the 'Mexican
language'. Also, he was hot
aware of which staff and faculty
were subpoenaed. Yanez is also
unaware if the administration is
trying to discipline von Son, as
stated in the article.
As for the two teachers that
von Son is currently seeking
legal action against, they are both
female, as opposed to the statement in the article of one male
and one female.
According t o a ' North
County T imes' a rticle f rom
Oct. 12, von Son is pursing legal
action against California State
University San Marcos Board of
Trustees, for his denial of tenure
and claiming harassment against
two faculty members, Sylvia
Rolle and Jill Pellettieri.
As for von Son's tenure, Yanez
stated that he is not in the position to make a decision one way
or the other.
"His behavior should be looked
at (for tenure)," said Yanez. He
went on to say, "If you're going to
support him, know this is going
on.
"I interacted with him on a personal level," said Yanez. Yanez
has a working history with von
Son which includes the upcoming movie "Ofrenda Desnuda".
Yanez explained that his motives
for coming forward were to
inform students, staff and faculty
of his experience with von Son.
"Get informed, make an
informed decision," Yanez said.
As for the affects of the open
forum, Yanez explained that he
has had a lot of students go to him
to express gratitude for coming
forward. Yanez believes it is
easier for men to come forward
with information since it* can be
embarrassing for women to talk
about sexual harassment.
An a rticle published in
t he "North County Times',
on Oct. 12 said, "charges in
the lawsuit he (von Son) filed in
December 2003 that two fellow
professors sabotaged his chances
to get tenure by submitting 'false
and defamatory' material to the
university's peer review committee on tenure." The article went
on to say that "Superior Court
Judge Michael Orfield has
refused to dismiss the case"
even though Cal State San
Marcos has denied all claims
made by von Son.
�A Step Beyond Donating
BY JESSICA DAMBKOWSKI
Pride Staff Writer
The San Diego Blood Mobile blood
drive on Oct. 18 and 19 was not as successful as expected according to the
San Diego Blood Bank. Nonetheless, 38
pints (which calculates to four and three
quarter gallons) of blood were donated
during these two days, reported Lillian
Gonzalez, Donor Recruitment Consultant. Aiso, according to Zelma Nixon,
the licensed vocational nurse (LVN) on
duty said they received six donors in the
"Hospital patients
depend on blood
donations every
three seconds ... it

Mary Walter-Brown
first hour after the Blood Mobile arrived
on the second day. A seventh donor finished filling out the medical questionnaire while Nixon was interviewed.
The blood drive welcomed the public
as well as students, but on Wednesday
these first seven donors were students,
and for the majority of them, it was their
first time, said Nixon.
Many students may wonder about what
happens to their blood after it's donated.
When asked about the trip blood donations take, Nixon explained, "There is a
lab they (The San Diego Blood Bank)
send it to for testing... It can take one
week (for testing)." Nixon said all the
blood donations are tested for safety
before they are released for use in medical facilities.
Gonzalez informed the Pride that
blood donations can be broken down
into plasma, palettes, and red blood cells
while at the lab.
Nixon also explained that the component selected influences how the donation is preserved, but that in its raw state
blood donations are put in the refrigerator and can last for 42 days.
If others wonder what happens if the
blood donation is not used in 42 days,
they might consider what Mary WalterBrown said in her Pride interview last
week: "Hospital patients depend on
blood donations every three seconds... it
saves lives."
Apparently it is unlikely that the donations collected at our school will not be
used.
Nixon assured students that The Blood
Mobile visits CSUSM fairly regularly,
and we can be certain that they will be
back in the near future.

tain these unhealthy patterns?
"From the research it appears women,
move from one bad relationship to another
for many different reasons. One is a lack
of a good father (or father figure) when
they are growing up. Another is coming
from an abusive home—one in which the
developing child either was abused or witnessed abuse. Some women have learned
that abuse in a relationship is 'normal' and
so they don't try to get out."
Speaking further with students confirmed much of this, however, a number
of them had their own personal reasons
for staying in unhealthy relationships. For
some it was simply a lack of self-esteem,
making them feel as though they deserved
the treatment they get because they are
either not pretty, or smart enough to get
anything better. Others even seemed to
love the drama of a rocky relationship,
that without it the relationship would be
too boring.
This may remind readers of something
stand-up comedian Chris Rock once said,
that if you're in a boring relationship. * .it's
probably a good one.
An episode of the popular show, "Sex
and the City" also touches on this issue
when, during the course of an apparently
healthy relationship, the character Carrie
is suddenly awakened with panic attacks.
She comes to realize that they are an
extreme reaction brought about by being
so unaccustomed to a lack of drama.
Recently^ a friend of this reporter who,
after four years, finally built up the courage to leave an unhealthy relationship,
found herself in a new and somewhat
worse one.
One night, while this new boyfriend
was away at a USC game, he began sending abusive text messages because she
had missed one of his calls. He began to
accuse her of cheating on him, along with
anything else he could say to make her feel
guilty. She was obviously heart-broken
and at a loss with what to do. Unfortunately this was not an isolated event, but
had rather become a routine in their relationship.
According to Oceanside's "Women's
Resource Center" and Police Department,
this boy was showing behavior characteristic of a batterer.
I n only a few short months, this new
boyfriend had demonstrated six of these
seven signs. Needless to say, this friend
was advised not to take it.
This incident further stresses the

importance of understanding that abusive relationships are not limited to physical abuse. In fact, according to "Woman
Abuse Prevention", emotional abuse is
responsible for long-term problems with
physical health as well as for depression
and anxiety.
Those having trouble recognizing or
ending unhealthy relationships are urged
to seek support from family, or local
women's resource centers. That said, concerned readers should be inspired to know
that abuse cycles are neither normal, nor
hopeless.
Another personal acquaintance recently
married a new partner after getting out
of a "masochistic" relationship. Now she
is happier than many of her friends have
ever seen.
When asked what made this partner
so much better, she replied "For one, he
can openly talk to me about his feelings,
where the last guy wouldn't. Secondly,
he's generous and cares about my feelings.
And third, he's grounded, and that makes
me feel secure."
It's vital to understand that not all men
are out to, or willing to abuse you. Another
male friend stated, "I don't care how submissive the girl was, I would never treat
her badly." There are wonderful guys like
this out there everywhere, but it's about
having the self-respect and support to
find them. Ladies, if you don't want to be
mistaken for a masochist, remember that
when it's a power struggle, the last thing
you want to do is hand all the power over.

�Vacation ideas come early
BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON
Pride Staff Writer
Mexico.
Usually, upon mention of this
place, most of us are flooded
with visions of shady nightclubs
packed with individuals who
can't legally drink in the states,
drunkenly flailing their bodies
on small and sweaty dance floors.
We think of dirty streets with
speeding taxis and small children peddling tourist items on
corners. We think of party spots
like Tijuana and San Felipe as the
core of what the country is about,
and of course we remember not
to drink the water there.
And yet, there is much more to
our southern neighbor than what
is displayed in spring break brochures. Mexico is host to a fantastic array of land and water
activities, wildlife preservations,
and a cultural history.
I recently traveled to three different Mexican locations and was
given an even better taste of what
the country truly has to offer.
Mexico takes on an exotic feel
in the daytime to perfectly accent
the vitality of its nightlife. The
activities offered both inland
and on the beaches were of such
a tropical nature that I almost
mistook our surroundings for an
island in the Bahamas.
At Cabo San Lucas, visitors
are invited to first tour the city
jeep, and then explore the bay
by glass bottom boat. These two
means of transportation are sold
in one reasonable package for
individuals and groups. Guides
also ensure that each traveler's
Cabo experience is complete
with the inclusion of on-shore
shopping, dining, and historical
sightseeing, as well as a glimpse
at the ocean life surrounding the
region. I was able to peruse village shops for authentic tanzanite
and fire-blown glass, as well as
snorkel off the coast at El Arco.
A visit to Mazatlan provides
a more vivid look into Mexico's working class. The city is
largely industrial, with outlying
tropical areas—a contrast to the
atmosphere of Cabo San Lucas.
I learned that Mazatlan came
under historic settlement by the
Spanish in 1531 who sought to
export the gold and silver produced there at the Sierra Madre
mines. Because of this, there are
no ancient ruins to see at Mazatlan. The city's main attractions
are its aquariums, Iglesia de San
Sebastian, and the 40-foot high
cliff, El Mirador, which hosts
cliff diving shows twice daily
when weather permits. Primarily, the tourist sites at Mazatlan
are products that showcase the
labor of its citizens.
Lastly, the scenic atmosphere
and cultural prevalence of Puerto
Vallarta provides a semi-indus-

trial, semi-exotic blend of both
Cabo San Lucas and Mazatlan.
The terrain there takes a dramatic shift from warm water
beach surfaces to severe mountain regions, less than 10 miles
inland. With the mountains surrounding this oasis, Puerto Vallarta exists in peaceful isolation.
The lasting impressions of the
city were made by its accessibility
to shopping, dining, and lounging, as well as the friendliness of
the citizens. Puerto Vallarta has
a newer face than Mazatlan, but
still contains the authenticity of
a Mexican culture. Visitors are
given the opportunity to watch
and learn salsa dancing at the
Malecon Main Square in down-
town, tour Elizabeth Taylor's
9-bedroom 11-bathroom house
at Casa Kimberley, and explore
mountain wildlife on horseback.
Banderas Bay also provides snorkeling, dolphin swimming, and
parasailing.
Given these descriptions, one
might turn away in disbelief that
all of these glorious sights are
encompassed in the nation of
Mexico, but it is true.
There is a lasting culture that
continues to thrive beyond the
TJ's nightclubs, and I urge everyone to experience it. An escape
to the real Mexico can broaden
one's cultural horizon beyond
that of only the states, or namely,
Southern California.

if you ever get a chance to know
you will understand why she has
such an impact. Her dreams and
goals are sure to blow you away.
Stacy recently graduated from
California State San Marco with
a double major in communication

Athletics
Program
on the Rise
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
Now that
the
World
Series
is
almost over
I am going
to need an
e v e r yd ay
sport to keep
me
busy
during idle moments. I love
football season, but having
games two days a week just
doesn't do it for me. Thankfully
my favorite reality show begins
in one week when the basketball season tips off.
Just like every other basketball fan, I have some predictions on what is going to happen
this year.
Now let me start off slowly
with some easy predictions.
Sometime between now and
Nov 3: An NBA player will
be charged with possession of
marijuana. He will then use a
creative excuse when he claims
he was just holding it for a
friend.
Sometime between Nov. 1
and Nov 7: The Phil Jackson,
Kobe Bryant, and Shaquille
O'Neal triangle of hate will
dominate the headlines again,
when Shaq opens his yap and
instigates reporters to beat this
story to death once again.
Nov. 2 (The Indiana Facers
first game): Ron Artest will be
^
The CSUSM athletics program is
continuing to grow with the addition
of softball and baseball in the spring
of 2007. According to Athletics
Director, Dr. Stephen Nichols, there
has already been an abundant amount
of interest regarding the teams.
"I'm receiving phone calls, emails,
snail mail, even skills tapes from in
and out-of-state regarding the teams.
There seems to be lots of interest
which is great," explained Dr. Nichols.
The recently named coaches, Jennifer Milo for softball and Dennis Pugh
for baseball, have informally begun
recruiting. The ideal roster is about
20 ladies and 30-35 men. Dr. Nichols explained that after the recruiting
cycle, it will be up to the coaches if an
actual try-out will be held.
The teams will be a part of the
National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). Other schools
that will be competitive within this
association include Point Loma Nazarene, Biola, and Azusa Pacific. As
the schedule is still being put together
for the spring of 2007, CSUSM will
aim to play other Division II and III
schools including USD and UCSD.
One of Dr. Nichols' goals is to
raise money for scholarships, for the
upcoming athletics teams. As of now,"
partial scholarships are offered to
some athletes. A greater scholarship
may be awarded at the coach's discretion and based on the total endowment
for the team.
A further addition to CSUSM's athletics program will be taking place
next fall, with men's and women's
soccer teams. The name of the chosen
coach has been withheld at this time,
due to their current contract elsewhere. The soccer teams will also
begin recruiting, hoping to gain a
roster of 18-20 athletes per team.
Dr. Nichols has high hopes for the
future of the athletics program. His
vision is to see the addition of women's volleyball, swimming, diving,
water polo, and tennis, all in due time.
As for now, he explains, "There is no
shortage in work in preparing for the
new coaches and teams, but it really
is fun."

suspended for the rest of the
year when he gets in a fight
with a water boy who looked at
him the wrong way.
Nov. 2: Kobe Bryant returns
to the Denver area to play the
Nuggets...well lets just leave
that one alone.
Nov. 18: The Atlanta Hawks
defeat the New Orleans Hornets, to win their first game,
putting their record at 1-8.
Dec. 25: Before the Lakers
versus Heat game on Christmas
day, Phil Jackson, Kobe Bryant,
and Shaquille O'Neal will celebrate Christmas together. Phil
will only bring one present to
the gathering. Shaq and Kobe
will then lash out at one another
in the newspapers over who
deserves the gift more.
Jan. 7: The Atlanta Hawks
win their second game of the
season, putting their record at
2-29.
Jan 12: The Pistons return
to the scene where they lost
last season's NBA finals in San
Antonio. The Pistons lose this
game, but the Spurs lose Tim
Duncan when he attempts to
block a Ben Wallace dunk and
is lost in Ben's enormous fro.
February 6: 6-0, 165 pound
Allen Iverson dunks on 7-6,
310 pound Yao Ming. Realizing he is an embarrassment to
the center position, Yao tries
his luck at another sport and
becomes the world's tallest
jockey.

March 2-5: In the four day
span, the Bulls and Cavaliers
play twice and ESPN will compare LeBron James to Michael
Jordan 985,041 times.
April 9: The Clippers sweep
the season series against the
Lakers, causing the city of Los
Angeles to think the Apocalypse is upon us.
April 19: The Atlanta Hawks
lose the final game of the regular season to the Cleveland
Cavaliers. They end the season
at 2-80 causing NBA commissioner David Stern to banish
them to the WNBA.
Okay, now that the easy predictions are done with, here are
the tough ones.
I believe the Miami Heat will
win the Eastern Conference
title. Shaq and Dwyane Wade
is the most lethal combo in the
NBA. Not to mention the Heat
went out and acquired Gary
Payton, Antoine Walker, Jason
Williams, and James Posey.
They also had a very good draft
acquiring Wayne Simien and
Matt Walsh. Some people claim
that too many superstars will
cause disharmony. I disagree
because I believe all of these
guys know that they NEED to
dish the ball to Shaq or Wade.
In the Western Conference,
I like the San Antonio Spurs,
because they are*the definition
of what a team should be. Their
entire team is back and they
have acquired Michael Finley
and Nick Van Exel. The Spurs
also had an excellent draft
acquiring Jawad Williams and
Stephen Graham.
Now for the awards. For the
MVP I see Jason Kidd making a
run at it this year, if he can stay
healthy. He now has running
mates for a full season in Vince
Carter and Richard Jefferson. I
also see LeBron making a run
at the award, if he can get the
Cavaliers into the playoffs. For
rookie of the year I see Hakim
Warrick of the Grizzlies flourishing in his first year. He has
the abilities and stature that
usually produce great rookie
years. The most improved team
this season will be the Los
Angeles Lakers, because of
two words: Phil Jackson. The
team with the biggest drop off
this season will be the Phoenix Suns because Amare Stoudemire will be out four months
to start the season. Not to mention it would have been hard to
win 62-games even if Amare
was healthy.
Alright, just to make sure
I get one prediction correct; I
predict that more predictions
from the first half than the
second half of this article will
come true.
Story suggestions, questions,
comments, or concerns can be
sent to Sando026@csusm.edu.
Thank you to those of you that

�Prop 73, a return to reason
By Lee Joseph Mitchell
I realize I'm in the minority
most of the time, me being a
religiously
conservative,
predominately
Caucasian,
among a mixed bag of leftist college hippies who think
they have to challenge every
concept or establishment, but
luckily for me, the minority is
growing. Decency seems to
be making a comeback. On
the ballot this Nov. 8 will be a
piece of legislation that could
possibly be an indication of
a regression back to the days
when morality and common
law were synonymous.
I have always felt abortion
is perhaps one of the most
heinous acts of violence and
ungodliness one could perpetrate, and I am vehemently
opposed to its prevalence
among American society, but
I would vote any day of the
week for a woman's right to
choose (as long as the abortion is with in thefirsttrimester. Partial birth abortion is
something altogether different, biologically speaking).
I believe that a minor—an
individual under the age of
18, and considered by the
legal system to still be under
the care and supervision of
their parent or legal guardian—-is neither sufficiently
responsible nor mentally
prepared for the very serious decisions involved with
issues of adulthood (I would
even venture to say that most
under the age of 25 are of the
same character). That a 14year-old girl could have an
abortion without the consent
or notification of her parents
prior-to—when the removal
a of bunion from the toe of
that same child requires written parent approval—seems
unimaginable, but hey, this
is California, a state in which
a Superior Court Judge ruled
that the mention of God in
the Pledge of Allegiance is
unconstitutional. Parents are
wholly responsible for the
welfare of the child, as long
as that child is under the age
of 18, but it seems that society, or at least that of California, has decided that matters
that could affect the life of
that child are matters of 'privacy and personal choice'.
Children have neither the
faculties nor the privilege of
making such choices without the participation of their
guardians. While a parent
can't prevent their child from
engaging in promiscuity (any
more than the sound teachings of church and family
can), matters that involve
medical attention and surgi-
cal operations do require, in
all other circumstances, the
consent and notification of the
parents. Why then is something as life-altering as abortion so different? The abortion may not, at first glance,
significantly change the life
of the young girl, but it most
certainly affects the life of
the unborn child within her.
The answer is simple. We
as a society have decided to
preach to our children, not
a message of morality and
personal responsibility, but
instead the venom of promiscuity and self-gratification. Now, if one has sex
and—oops!—get's pregnant,
instead of taking care of
the child, the result of one's
choices already made, we can
simply "undo" the mistake!
A redo, if you will. Suddenly,
childbearing has become
something of a game in which
abortion is the quick fix to a
night of passion absent of
reason. Being an individual
that came quite close to being
aborted (thanks to my grandmother, Voila! The miracle
of birth occurred after all), I
think it's important to stress
that abortion isn't a solution
for a mistake, but a medical
operation that should be used
only in the case of a medical
emergency; when the life of
the mother is in danger.
But a teenager doesn't
understand this.
It's not
theirs to understand. They're
not supposed to be dealing
with such weighty issues.
These are items of adult proportions, which require the
faculties found exclusively
among reasonable adults—
the parents of these troubled
youths. In California, however, a parent's consent is not
needed for a minor, even a 13 year-old to have an abortion.
Still, at the least, the parent
should be notified, should
be privy to such information
before the abortion. Some
may say that such required
notification is still an invasion of privacy, but minors
don't have such rights, and
such has been demonstrated
in cases involving eavesdropping and the like, which are
more obvious occurrences of
an 'invasion of privacy'. In
order to be under the care and
supervision of one's parents,
there simply cannot be such
blockades to understanding.
If parents are expected to
morally and emotionally support their daughter in such a
time of distress, they should
be given fair notice of such a
course of action.
The reasons for this exception to common medical prac-
tices are quite clear; thefirstis
that we want, as a society, to
promote the sexually liberal
ideals of our licentious youth,
and second, we are always
attempting to treat children
as adults. The availability
of "morning-after" pills is
the proliferating message o f
cleaning-up, rather than dealing with, the "mistakes" of
one's behavior. Many argue
that 'we shouldn't punish a
young woman for mistakes
she's made; making her deal
for life* with an ill-thought
out decision of her youth',
but, and excuse me, the conception and development of
a fertilized egg into a human
being is not a 'mistake', it is
nature and
Please, help bring back
some reason to this state
of radical leftists that strip
away, year-by-year, more and
more of the vital fabric that
keeps families intact. Return
to the parents their right to
know; honor their rights as
the caretakers and fountains
of emotional support of their
children, return back to the
parents what has always
been theirs, the right to know
about the medical condition
and welfare of their children.
Please, vote yes on 73.

�Have a "Good Night, and Good Luck."
BY ALFRED CHU
Pride Staff Writer
"Good Night, and Good
Luck" has every quality a film
should have that would make
you remember and applaud it.
It chronicles the initial steps
of Senator Joseph McCarthy's
downfall, beginning with numerous reports from "See It Now,"
anchor Edward R. Murrow
(David Strathairn). Despite cynical criticism and abandonment
by sponsors, Murrow and his
producer Fred Friendly (George
Clooney) push forward to expose
a corrupt, lying government.
That's a simple enough plot to
last ninety three minutes. However, "Good Night, and Good
Luck" makes you forget the
length and focus on the more
intriguing aspects, such as the
performances, the cast, and the
authenticity.
The performance of Strathairn
is the most memorable. He is not
just portraying a real person, but
resurrecting Murrow to a new
light and a new generation. It
would be a shame if Strathairn
received anything less than an
Oscar nomination. Even though
Clooney also gives a fine performance, I'd rather remember him
as the director of this film rather
than an actor.
Once known as an actor who
only accepts leading roles, in
"Good Night, and Good Luck"
Clooney gives his film and his
cast the opportunity to shine
instead of him. He creates the
film in standard black and white
to give a real feel for the time
period. He even uses archive
Photos courtesy of Warner Independent
footage of McCarthy himself,
instead of an actor. The set design
of the offices and the newsrooms
answer the question, "What's it
like to work at CBS back then?"
The supporting cast is not one of
big stardom but of skill. Joe Wershba (Robert Downey Jr.), and as

It seems obvious that the film
is giving one lesson and one message. The lesson is that what we
went through in the past is likely
to occur again. The film urges
us to learn from our past to predict the future. The message is
that there is a connection with
the McCarthy years to our current leadership. Murrow's report
quotes William Shakespeare,
"The fault, dear Brutus, lies not
within our stars but within ourselves."

Fiona Apple's
presents latest
documentary film
BYLIZZ OSBORNE
Pride Staff Writer
Faculty
member and
independent
f ilmmaker
Jonathan
Berman
will present his latest
film, "ComJonathan Berman mune", free
and open-to
the public in Arts Building room
240, on Wednesday, Oct. 26, at 7
p.m.
The official press kit states,
"Sometimes it takes a village to
blow your mind," this is certainly
true of the village presented in
"Commune." The film, which
followed a group of young idealists at the influential Black Bear
Ranch, in Siskiyou County, where
they aimed to reshape the world
with free love, common property,
and the excited controversy of
fear amongst local residents.
Premised on the idea of Free
Land for Free People, and
financed Hollywood rock stars,
the founders of Black Bear
bought land deep in the wilderness and raised a rough-hewn
homestead. Over the years, hun-
"Extraordinary Machine"
dreds would join the community,
and life would be complicated by
conflicts about the role of women,
child rearing, proper behavior,
and most traumatically, a childsnatching cult. The film gave us
a revealing look at how our most
basic choices about family, work,
and the nature of our relationships send powerful and lasting
shock waves through the fabric
of society.
According to Berman, "The
theme of the film, in my opinion, is 'go for it, go for your
dreams, but be sure to not get
too carried away by them.' You
see this in the film with the

Race and class discrimination in relief efforts
Fall 2006 may welcome
an academic-free time

student involvement on

BY SHELLY MONROE
Pride Staff Writer
Dr. Sharon Elise shared statistical facts
and public misconceptions about the racial
discrimination generated toward the poor
black communities of New Orleans and
neighboring affected areas. Elise highlights how the faces of Hurricane Katrina
victims are overwhelmingly black, with
In an effort to promote extra-curricular
engagement in the students of Cal State
San Marcos, the Associated Students,
Inc. began the process of implementing
a University Hour. A University Hour is
defined as a time during the week, usually one to two hours, during which no
classes are scheduled for undergraduates. This would provide a common time
for student organizations to meet, extracurricular events to occur and for study
groups to convene.
"University Hour, which will
strengthen our students' college experience, will also serve the Cal State San
Marcos Mission by empowering students to be active participants in building a community through co-curricular
engagement while promoting Cal State
San Marcos Core Values," said Marc
DeGuzman, ASI president and chief
executive officer.
The National Survey of Student
Engagement (NSSE) results indicate that
Cal State San Marcos students cite lack
of co-curricular engagement as a main
reason for leaving our campus. University
Hour will allow Cal State San Marcos to
actively address our low retention rates
by providing opportunities for the entire
campus community to engage all students
in co-curricular programming.

Blaming Victims
Misconceptions about alcohol on campus
Cal StatefSan Marcos is
not a fdiy campus
BY BRYAN MASON
Pride Staff Writer
Recent news articles published in The
Pride newspaper have given the impression that Cal State San Marcos is a 'dry
campus' prohibiting the consumption of
alcohol on the campus property. Dean of
Students, Jonathan Poullard felt this misconception about campus policy needed to
be rectified.
"Any and all locations, with the exception of classrooms, could be reserved for
events where alcohol could be drunk," said
Poullard. Cal State San Marcos' policies
deem that San Marcos is not a dry campus,
contrary to popular student belief.
Without a bar or liquor sales on campus,
CSUSM may give the appearance of being
a dry campus. Students may recall the
recent Oktoberfest event that served root
beer at the celebratory gathering, or the
Jazzfest event that promoted safe-drinking offering mocktails instead of cocktails. However, policy allows for alcohol to
be served in the form of beer and wine on
campus.
By filling out the correct forms students, faculty and staff can obtain permission to serve and consume alcohol on
campus. This form, known as the Alcohol
Approval Request Form, gives cougars the
opportunity to submit requests for alcohol
approval.
"There are several campus entities that
a group or individual must secure authorization from" said Poullard. These authorizations are in compliance with school
policies set up for the safety of students.
The University Police is not only required
to sign off on the alcohol use form, but the
police are usually required at any alcohol
related events.
Individuals are also allowed to submit
a request for alcohol on campus as well,
however most commonly the request is
made by student organizations in compliance with the policy.
"The most typical places for student initiated events where alcohol is served is in
the Clarke Field House, but events are not
limited to this venue," said Poullard.
"Several articles have appeared in The
Pride about the idea of a Bar/Pub, but no

Associate Professor of Sociology, Dr. Sharon Elise said, "as a
faculty member, I also note that
University Hour will enhance
students' ability to get together
with their classmates for study
groups, for group projects and
even for something as simple as a
cup of coffee with a classmate."
CSU Los Angeles, CSU Monterey Bay and CS Polytechnic
University Pomona are the three
CSU campuses that have a University Hour in place. Additionally, Mira Costa College, one of
our local educational partners,
also has a University Hour. ASI
has received positive feedback of
having a University Hour.
History Professor Patricia
Seleski, Ph.D said, "I agree that
building community is an important priority for the campus but
I donrt think we think creatively
enough about how you can do
that on a commuter campus. We
tend to take 'solutions' that work
well for small, residential liberal
arts colleges (partly because so
many faculty and student services types come from this background) where most students are
of traditional age and don't work
more than 20 hours a week, if
or older weighing at least 110
pounds are welcome to donate.
However, the San Diego Blood
Bank does have donor restrictions. Medical conditions, certain medications, travel in
selected areas, exposure to
Hepatitis, recent tattoos or cold/
flu-like symptoms may prevent
potential donors from participating in the blood drive. Participants should be prepared to
answer a brief medical history
questionnaire and communicate
with nurses about eligibility.
"Hospital patients depend
on blood donations every three
seconds ... it saves lives," said
Walter-Brown. Donations are
most often used in auto accidents,
heart surgeries, organ transplants, bone marrow treatments
and third degree burn victims.
The San Diego Blood Bank
encourages students to start
donating at a young age, since
young adults are typically in
ideal healthy and bounce back
better after donations. Many of
San Diego Blood Bank's active
donors are in their late 70s and
80s and are becoming ineligible
to donate do to health restrictions and illness, said WalterBrown.
All donors will receive a free

Tire and Service Centers and a
discounted round of golf at Pala
that, and insist that these same
solutions ought to work at a
campus like CSUSM where the
student profile is much different. We do this rather than saying
'well, maybe the sense of community here has to be created in a
different way because of who our
students are and what their lives
are really like ~ so how do we do
that?'"
Academic Senate originally
denied the ASI proposal for a University Hour on May 4, 2005 for
several reasons, which included
concerns over the impact on 4unit courses, especially in the
afternoon and evening and demonstration of the effectiveness of
University Hour. The Associated
Students Inc. Board of Directors
recently had a new proposal that a
University Hour be implemented
between the hours of 2:30 to 4:00
p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays,
to be implemented in the Academic Schedule in Fall 2006.
ASI recognizes that certain
courses and degree programs do
not lend themselves to University
Hour scheduling. Post-Baccalaureate classes, Teacher Credential
Programs and courses or labs
three hours or more in length will
be exempted from the University
Hour.
"We tend to assume that just
because students don't stay on
campus and participate in things
it is because they don't feel a
sense of belonging at CSUSM and
we don't often enough consider
that many students don't participate because they can't ~ in fact,
it's all they can do to squeeze the
time out to take classes, study and
get their degree," said Seleski.
ASI developed and administered a student survey in Fall
2004, The survey data indicated that the majority of survey
respondents believe that the
creation of a 'University Hour'
would benefit the campus.
"But, while I laud the goal of
University Hour, I don't think
the reasons for doing it are more
compelling than the needs of students to graduate on a schedule
(and at a final cost of both dollars and 'years') more or less of
their choosing. I think University Hour will cause problems
for more students that it will
help. And in the end, I'm not

The main purpose for

a key issue at hand when dealing with an alcohol related
matter on campus. Poullard
noted that safety is "a huge
role" in deciding approval.
All alcohol events require
ID verification, police presence, a request at least fourweeks prior to event, all distribution of alcohol must be
handled by a licensed caterer

FORUM, from page 1
the most vulnerable people being the
elderly and women with young children. Elise points out that historically
society tends to point the finger at the
victim. Implications questioning why
people didn't evacuate suggest that
these individual lack intelligence,
although many people with this view
fail to acknowledge that over 20 percentage of New Orleans residents do
not have access to a car nor the monetary resources to pick-up and leave.
Much like the real-estate property
values in San Diego, altitude is positively correlated with high-end homes
that are primarily white, Elise commented. New Orleans has a similar
situation; the "least affected areas
were white areas" because higher
altitudes were not subjected to mass
flooding.
"Blacks are being treated as criminals, not as victims fleeing a natural
disaster" said Elise in response to the
racial news-reporting suggesting that
blacks 'loot' and whites 'find' supplies
for survival. "We are not afraid to call
it what it is: institutionalized racism
despite the white hegemony of discourse" Elise argued.
Elise suggests that there are two
possible reasons to explain this racial
disparity: either something is wrong
with black people or something is
being done wrong to black people. But
racism isn't isolated in New Orleans.
Elise warns attendees of a grim correlation: "the blacker (something) gets,
the less funding it receives."
Elise urges our students and faculty
to acknowledge the "black face of poverty, the black face of death row, the
black face of unemployment and the
white face of the White House."

University Police offer escort services to promote
safety at Cal State San Marcos and around the surrounding community by providing police-assisted
rides to and from campus buildings, parking lots
and immediately adjacent areas of the campus.
The escort service has been offered at Cal State
San Marcos since the University Police Department has been on campus, but with increased living
accommodations on and around campus the police
are boosting up the circulation of information on
department services to ensure that our campus is a
safe environment.
Escort services are available to students, faculty, staff and guests to CSUSM. While the service
focuses on after-hour safety, escorts are available
from dawn to dusk, all hours of the day, as an additional safety measure.
"It's 24-7 and most people don't realize that," said
Officer Herman Hernandez about the escort service. "The police department is 24 hours."
Anyone can take advantage of this service
regardless of the reason or absence of immediate
threat. Many academic classes are held in the late
evening and with day-light savings time around the
corner, it will be getting darker sooner. Police will
escort and accompany students to their car, dorm,
bus stops and even the Prominence Apartments,
located behind the paved student parking lots. Students may also request an escort if their having
problems or being harassed by another person on
campus. Regardless of the reason, to arrange an
escort call (760) 750-4567 and a Community Service Officer will escort you by car, bicycle or on
foot to a campus facility, parking lot or immediate
local residence.
The University Police are expanding their dedication to campus safety by offering the Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) workshop to female students
scheduled on Oct. 18, 19, 25 and 26 from 4 to 7
p.m. in the Grand Salon of the Clarke Field House.
The RAD program is sponsored by the University
Police and ASI.
The three-hour training provides female students
with self-defense techniques and maneuvers, and
presents information on awareness, rape-prevention, risk reduction and risk avoidance. The workshop is $20 and includes free lifetime admission to
RAD sessions to enhance skills or take refresher
courses. To enroll in a workshop, contact Officer
Carla Kuamoo, the University Police Department's
certified RAD Instructor at (760) 750-4567.

History Repeats Itself
Fredi Avalos-C'DeBaca approached
racism through a historical lens and
focused on how policies formulate
racial categories to assert blame to the
victim. Comparing the Irish potato
famine with Hurricane Katrina,
Avalos-C'DeBaca argues that both
governments blamed the disaster and
circumstances on natural causes. However, Avalos-C'DeBaca contends that
both governments fail to take responsibility in their role of worsening the
tragedy. British elites were quoted
that the potato famine would serve
as a cleansing of society arguing that
'survival of the fittest' justified lose
of life. And after Hurricane Katrina,
former First Lady Barbara Bush was
quoted that the relief efforts were good
enough for the 'underprivileged.'
"How will we remember Hurri-
prean
cane Katrina in two, five, ten or 100
years?" Avalos-C'DeBaca said. With
the media shaping our collective popular memory of Hurricane Katrina,
we need to continue conversations and
analyze the role of racial policies and
attitudes that will form our recollection of this moment in our history.
"Theories do not save people;
action saves people. Take the risk of
speaking out," said Avalos-C'DeBaca.
Allowing the media to mold our own
interpretations of the events and aftermath of Hurricane Katrina will prevent our society from recognizing the
social-politics that oppress and blame
the victims.
White Racism Still Exists
Dr. Dreama Moon took the foundation of Fredi Avalos-C'DeBaca's argument and expanded the context advocating attendees to "keep an eye on the
traditional mainstream story and who
gets to tell it." Much knowledge can
be acquired through recognizing who
tells the, story.
Dr. Moon compiled exerts taken
from the American Renaissance, a
monthly magazine available online,
with conservative white racial views.
Moon utilized the exerts to demonstrate to students and faculty the
hatred and hate speech directed to the
black victims of Hurricane Katrina.
One view shared from American
Renaissance exclaimed "got a nigger
shortage in your town - don't worry
they got a bus load of niggers coming
to your town." Other exerts encouraged white-only aid expressing some
whites wanting to "help (their) people,
but the muds and spies be damned."
Moon encouraged attendees to be
aware of the deep racism that exists in
our society, arguing that knowledge is
necessary to deconstruct the inequity
that marginalizes noliwhites.
Open Discussion
Open to questions, comments and
personal experiences, students, faculty
and guests discussed the prevalence of
racism at Cal State San Marcos and
the walls that prevent communication about these issues. The panelists
encouraged attendees to engage in
dialogue on poverty, race, gender and
politics.
Several students shared their frustrations, grievances and experiences
on race. Sociology student, Lisa W.
expressed her feelings of racism on
campus. "It's the students I'm disappointed with, not my professors," Lori
said.
"A great-white walk out" occurred
according to one audience member.
She felt that white students left when
racism got too real for them, when
she observed over 20 people leave the
forum during Dr. Moon's lecture dis-
cussing white-racial views towards
blacks.
"But many stayed. I can only
focus on those that show up and
stay," responded Moon. "For white
students there's a d ifferent cost
for racial consciousness; (they)
are likely to be ostracized by the
white community. White people
can be ruthless and they can be
r uthless to their own," explained
Moon.
Avalos-C'DeBaca pleaded with
students not to get discouraged
in trying to open communication
on race. "If you believe you can't
change the world, you've been
conned. It takes courage to hope,"
Avalos-C'DeBaca said.
"We don't have time to be hopeless,"
Moon added.
An audience member commented,
"we're in college now and this is where
we learn how tofight.That is what I've
learned."

Campus wildlife
BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM
Pride Staff Writer
With Cal State San Marcos still in
the beginning phases of its projected
construction and growth, the original
inhabitants of the brush-covered hillsides surrounding campus have been
reluctant to be pushed out.
There is an "abundance of wildlife" here at Cal State San Marcos said
Steve Waiters, the Assistant Director
of Operations. Aside from the preponderance of rabbits that cover the lawns
in the early morning around campus,
there is a large array of other wildlife also calling the acreage surrounding CSUSM home. Roadrunners,
for example, can be seen mornings
making their way along the outskirts
of campus, as can coyotes, which can
be observed around campus in the
morning and evening.
"At one time there used to be a herd
of deer," said Waiters referring to a
small enclave of about 6 or 7 of these
large creatures living nearby. Although
the herd has not been spotted for sometime, occasional pairs of deer can still
be seen with the proper timing. One of
the shrubs originally selected by gardeners to be planted on campus even
attracted a few of the deer onto the
campus itself. Yet the shrub has since
ceased being planted as the deer were
feeding on them as soon as they were
placed in the ground.
As for the namesake of CSUSM, the
cougar, or mountain lion, this increasing rare Californian is not a frequent
sight near the campus. Although mountain lions have occasionally been seen
in nearby communities, complaints
from fearful residents and rapid urbanization have pushed this endangered
cat away from its native territory.
Still, many species of wildlife have
held on, for now, to the territory they
call home. The animals "just have to
know when to come out and not be
heard," said Watters. Yet as the campus
continues to grow it is likely that the
sightings of wildlife near campus will
probably decline over time.
As for now though, the army of
squirrels that often line the walkway
from the dirt lot in the late afternoon,
like many creatures on the fringes of
CSUSM, are happy to stay right where
they are.

Saleski asserted. "History 'gives'
the present we have to struggle with (and sometimes against)
every day."
According to Seleski, view. ing the Middle East, or any other
current events issue, through a
historical lens tends to complicate matters as many stay loyal
to the historical memory they've
learned, even though that memory
may not be accurate. The history
department believes that increasing people's knowledge of historical situations will enable them to
figure out new solutions to past
and current conflicts. "Understanding the past isn't just about
'nursing old wounds', it can also
be about finding commonalities
and finding ways of reconciliation."
Seleski assures students that
the history department does not
have an agenda, nor is it trying
to enforce any particular view
on the Israeli Palestinian conflict. The history department is
mainly offering students, faculty,
and the public an opportunity to
hear different views on Middle
East peace issues from various
speakers who have different relationships to the issues as way of
encouraging dialogue within the
community. Those involved are
also aware that these issues might
be a sensitive topic to some due to
its political aspect and in light of
the political dissention currently
occurring in the United States.
The speakers share only their
own viewpoints, and Saleski
reminds everyone attending that
the history department is not
promoting their perspectives as
truth, but hopes to ultimately

Miramar Air Show "The Sound of Freedom"
Student shares her
experience of the air show
BY SHANNON SHUREMAN
Special to The Pride
Are the pilots courageous or just plain
psycho? Either way, I was absolutely mesmerized by the talented pilots who strutted their stuff high in the sky today at the
Miramar Air show in San Diego, Calif.
The Miramar Air show celebrated its 50th
anniversary this weekend along with an
estimated 700,000 people. Spectators of
all ages and backgrounds flocked from
around the country to catch a glimpse
of the F-22 fly-by, Patriots jet team, or
the unbelievable Blue Angels. Along with
incredible air shows were the 100 or more
aircraft on display, including planes from
World War II, Vietnam, and aircraft still in
use today. I was at the event from 11 a.m.
until 9 p.m. and can honestly say there was
not a dull moment.
I have never been big into military type
stuff but today I found myself lost in military heaven. I was eager to learn about
the array of amazing aircraft and found
myself in a trance gazing at the planes
moving faster than the speed of sound,
defying gravity.
I was almost brought to tears, or maybe
that was just the effects of staring into the
sun for a couple of hours. Neither words
nor my photos can do these extremely talented pilots justice. I just know, attending this event has reminded me of what an
inspiring country we live in and has given
me the sudden urge to travel in a plane at
600 to 700 miles per hour. I would hitch a
ride in one of those any day!

Right: Navy jet soars above the clouds.
Blue Angels, these guys are my heroes!
The Blue Angels have been in flight since
the 1940's continually advancing their aircraft to be faster and more precise. The
team consists of six of the most highly
trained pilots in the country. The commanding officer of the team is required to
have 3,000 hours of tactical jetflighthours
and flies the number one jet. The other
five members are required 1,200 tactical
jet flight hours and man jets two thru six.
Since 1946 The Blue Angels have flown
for over 393 million fans.

and following each meet they
are ranked according to their
times. The cougars have had
four meets so far and as of last
week the men's team is ranked
eight and the women's team is
ranked sixth. At the regional
competition the first place team
moves on to nationals along
with the top 20 teams according
to their rank following the meet.
With both teams already ranking within the top 10, they are

Pugh comes to CSUSM from
Mission Bay high school, where
he has spent 26 years in varying
positions such as head baseball
coach, head football coach, and
athletic director.
I am particularly thrilled about
the hiring of Dennis Pugh, not
only because he brings an established presence to a new program,
but because I know what kind of
person he is.
Over the past two years while
I have been writing for the San

Fernando Brown who played

Milo and Pugh will both be
working part time this semester
as they begin the transition from
their current jobs to recruiting

Once again, I commend Athletic Director, Dr. Nichols, and
the University for selecting two
well deserving coaches to lead

Escape to reality
BY ERICA DAVIS
Special to The Pride
Reality TV - we all know by
now that's an oxymoron . The plots
and storylines of shows such as
Survivor and The Amazing Race
rival the ones put out by the morning soaps. Even reality shows with
no focus on competition, such as
Extreme Makeover- Home Edition,
have no basis in reality. I've not met
ANYONE personally who had Shea
Homes show up one day and decide
to give them a new house full of
all the coolest new Sears appliances. I used to think gossip was
the link between all of these shows.
When Johnny Fairplay lied about
his grandmother's death to other
Survivor's, he instantly became the
contestant America loved to hate,
and then talk about for weeks. Reality shows started as water cooler
shows. I've found in my own work
life, few sitcom discussions. Rarely
does someone ask if I've seen the
latest episode of Law and Order
and yet many friends and cowork-
ers love to gossip about the newest
argument to erupt on a Swedish hillside on The Amazing Race, albeit
in more hushed tones these days.
These competitive shows, such
as Big Brother, that often involve
some sort of "on-screen" romance
draw viewers in. As if we were all
in High School again watching a
couple break-up in the hallway; we
like talking about it. There is something very realistic about the way
we REACT to these shows, even if
they are completely staged. So, if
it is gossip driving the competitive
shows, then why does a non-competitive show, like Home Makeover strike a chord? Ironically, it's
because it IS providing an escape
from reality . The "dream shows,"
enable us to imagine that we too
could have that new 7 bedroom, 6
bath house complete with a recording studio for the 13 year old son
and brand new Expedition in the
driveway. IF our personal struggle
is sad enough to win the network's
attention, that is. Gone are the days
where your life's suffering meant a

plentiful afterlife, but now Ty Pennington in your front yard with a
bull horn screaming "Move that
bus!" Instant, earthly rewards!! It
gives you a reason not only to root
for the underdog, but to want to BE
the underdog. But, as the old saying
goes, it only takes one bad apple to
rot the whole barrel and for those of
us dedicated Make-Over and Race
fans that've been around since the
beginning, we're the new lepers,
"reality TV people." The very term
"reality TV" suggests your viewing standards are sub-par. With
mindless and degrading shows such
as "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire Midget," and "I Want to
be a Hilton," programming itself
has been degraded and I'm even
ashamed to be included in the reality
TV watching demographic because
everyone assumes each show is like
the worst show out there. I feel the
pain of soap opera fans everywhere.
The folks I see who have followed
Luke and Laura and don't want to
admit it out loud. Yes, Reality TV
watchers have been thrown down
to the floor as well - and so unhappily. It wasn't always this way and
perhaps that is why it stings. People
assume I'm unable to discern quality from crap. Half the time I don't
even defend reality TV anymore,
I'm too embarrassed. Art is subjective, I want to yell. But, reality TV
is not art, I remind myself. So, privately I watch The Amazing Race
and publicly talk about that other
great CBS show, CSI - because that
stuff totally happens in real life!

Then I saw the pumpkin people.
Someone digs out the stem of this natural fruit and shoves
artificial hair into it, They paint on a facial expression, and
give it a tag with a common human name to finish off the
transformation.
The pumpkin person I found had face-planted into the
other gourds. Its 'teeth' were chipped as a result of this and
it only had half a lip left. It had grey 'hair' and the name
'Jack'.
The tag actually said 'Hello, my name is Jack. I love
risky adventure! I'm clever, spunky, and always on the go
go go! Let's rock and roll!'
I looked at it and realized that no normal person would
ever buy this pumpkin, now that the tumble had made it
defective.
As I stared at the chunks of humanness missing from
Jack's 'face', I felt the sudden realization that there was
justice in the world after all. Jack wasn't ugly or defective. He was simply fighting against
mankind's

: fbiiowinl Letter t otinif
Editor from a local
^¡¡¡¡H
ts^^S
Dear Editor Long:
As a local resident and taxpayer, I was disturbed (to say the
least) when reading the recent
"article" in The Pride Online Edition titled "Race and Class Discrimination in Relief Efforts."
This article, written by Christine Vaughan, was hardly a true
news story but rather an editorial. As such, is should have been
located in the Opinion section of
the newspaper.
The author states as fact the
conspiratorial speculations of
activist professors. As scary as
it is that such non-academics are
actually paid by the tax-payer to
peddle such ridiculous theory and
ideology, it is even more disturbing that their rants are conveyed
as fact to the student body.
For example, the lead in to the
article states "The forum focused
on the ongoing racial discrimination, 'hyper-segregation', institutionalized class inequity and
I have a problem with an article
how Katrina is being considered
a man-made disaster." A more
honest article would have made it
abundantly clear how such beliefs
are rather the opinion of a very,
very small minority ("minority"
referring to segment of the population smaller than
50%... not a person's ethnicity)
who have little non-biased data to
support their theories.
The "Blaming the Victims"
section reeks of propaganda and
is an obvious attempt to shape
the beliefs of an impressionable
student body rather than to report
facts. A fact is that Dr. Elise
made certain assertions—not that
those assertions are facts.
The article continues to supposedly deal with the issue of
racism in the United States.
However, the
only fact that it seemed to
accurately portray is that certain
professors at CSUSM, who make
their livelihood off peddling the
perception that white racism is
the cause of all problems associated with non-white communities, are ardent and devout racists
themselves.
For instance, in the "White
Racism Still Exists" section of
the article, Dr. Moon is quoted as
saying,
"For white students there's
a different cost for racial consciousness; (they) are likely to be
ostracized by the white community. White people can be ruthless and they can be ruthless to
their own."
This statement, if reported
accurately, is demonstrative of
the foul stench of racism that
is emitted from certain faculty members at CSUSM. Dr.
Moon obviously has engaged in
an blatant over-generalization
about "white people"—a generalization that is hardly rooted in
fact. Instead, this generalization
is obviously, to even the most
untrained observer, an ignorant
attempt to attribute one person's
biased views to an entire population.
The article reports that numerous white members of the audience got up and left during the
discussion, and then continues by
quoting a student who attributes
the mass exodus to the student's
inability to deal with what is
considered "real" about racism.
Could it be, however, that white
students left because of the antiwhite bias that was obviously
at the heart of the discussion?
Rather than seeking to get to the
root ofthe problem (the "problem"
referring to the disproportionate
number of African-American citizens who were affected by Hurricane Katrina), the professors
were merely there to advocate an
extreme, negative and order-line
anarchistic approach to dealing
with issues that have an alleged
racial component. The reader
need only refer to the final line of
the article: An audience member
commented, "we're in college
now and this is where we learn to
fight. That is what I've learned."
Additionally, I find it interesting that Dr. Moon chose the
"American Renaissance" as an
example of the hatred put forth
towards African-American victims of Hurricane Katrina. Being
a strong conservative myself, and
reading and writing quite often
about a number of issues related
to race, policy, and government,
I found it interesting that an
obscure, racist publication such
as the "American Renaissance"
was being used to portray the
beliefs of white people. As a
matter of fact, I had never even
heard of the
"American Renaissance" prior
to it being mentioned in the article.
Perhaps it is because I do not
frequent racist websites...websites where some professors from
CSUSM obviously go to get their
"facts" on white America. The
fact that this online magazine
was referred to as
a magazine of "conservative
white racial views", while technically correct (according to American Renaissance's own descrip-
»
tion of itself), is hardly accurate
in depicting the general c onsent
sus beliefs of white conservative
Americans.
Perhaps this is yet another fine
example of professors coming to
conclusions and then seeking out
facts to meet their pre-conceived-«
notions.
I would appreciate it if the editorial staff would take greater
care in the future to make sure
that facts are reported as facts,
and ideas, theories, or specula-*
tion be reported appropriately.
For instance, perhaps when the
author reports that Dr. Sharon
Elise reports "statistical facts and
public misconceptions" she could
provide examples of those facts.
I would be very interested to see
where those "statistics" originate
from.
Thank you for your time. I
look forward to reading a more
professional version of The Pride '
in the coming months.
Perhaps next month you could
take the same exact story and
re-print it with all of the races
flipped. White would become
black and black or African-Amer- *
ican would become white. Then
read the article again and tell me
if it passes the "there's a racist in
our midst" smell test.
Sincerely,
Marcus Dexter

the founding of the island. Later,
it is found that the four founders, Castle, Williams, Wayne and
Malone of Antonio Island pillaged and murdered the inhabitants of the island with a stale
deal. Elizabeth, along with many
others, is killed and seeks later
revenge on the family members

to the island with seemingly
unnatural patterns and carries
the pledge, "Blood for Blood."
During the movie's latter part,

are systemically killed. The fog
finally lifts when Tom Malone is
killed for this great-grandfather's
treachery with Elizabeth becoming a part of the fog.
Wainwright unfortunately uses
special effects in place of dialog
and story. Much of the action
is indeed scary but that is only
because of loud music and knocking. Many in the audience were
laughing about some of the socalled scary moments. Much of
the dialog comes across flat and
ridiculous with little or no feeling and inflection. A great movie
enables the audience to become
emotional involved with the
actors and action. In this movie
however the audience has a profound detachment from the action
as if it was a silly and unimportant event. Not to mention that
some special effects looked a
little too unreal and one knew
it was a special effect or a poor
planned one. While some effects
looked poorly planned, other special effects looked realistic and
held extraordinary power.
The audience seemed disappointed with the lack of concrete
story, dialogue, and audience
empathy, though some of the
special effects dazzled the eyes.
The Fog was almost a complete
disappointment but it did have its
redeeming value.

As the air turns
crisp, autumn brings it's
predominate colors of red and oranges.
Julian, a quaint mountain retreat located
among pine and oak-covered hills of San
Diego, is a perfect weekend getaway. This
rustic mining town settled over 100 years
ago with a small population still today of
only 1,300.
This small mountain community is
known for its fruit orchards and country
charm. Stay in one of the many bed and
breakfasts and enjoy endless amounts of
'good oF home' cooked meals. With the
ovens running around the clock and the
sprawling apple orchards it's only natural
that Julian is home of award winning apple
pies. Apple Fest runs from September to
mid November that brings crowds from all
over the United States to hand pick their
very own apples.
Along the winding roads of Julian you
can find homemade jam stands, antique
shops and small boutique restaurants.

McMahan
House in
planning
stages
$2.3 million donation
for conference center
on campus
BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN
Pride Staff Writer
McMahan House conference
center at CSUSM is in the midst
of planning stages.
Former furniture store owners
JoAn and Richard McMahan
donated $2.3 million to CSUSM
to build a 3,800-square-foot
meeting and conference center.
The facility will be located, on
the knoll overlooking the campus
entrance with the track field just
below the site.
The Planning, Design & Construction department is currently
seeking to hire an architectural
firm. While no official date has
been set to begin construction,
the planning stages for the facility have already begun.
"Our intent is to only use the
donation money to build and
equip the building," said Russell Decker, director of Planning,
Design & Construction. Decker
estimates that no public CSUSM
funds will be needed for the project.
The donation is expected to
cover all costs of construction,
labor, and the facility's resources.
The McMahan House will-be furnished with a commercial kitchen
capable of hosting banquets and
providing dining services for
luncheons or meetings, as well
as being equipped with the necessary audio-visual technology
to aid in presentations, lectures,
and conferences. The facility will
also have a functional manager's
office and will "likely be a source
of student employment," according to Decker.
A planning committee team
will be developed to provide input
on construction and help with the
functionality of the McMahan
House. The committee has yet to
formed, but is not limited to professional staff. Students are welcome to join the planning committee team to help oversee the
transformation of this dirt hill
into a much needed service.

BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN
Pride Staff Writer
The Lady Cougars, previously
named Cougar Dancers, held
closed-auditions in the Hunter
Gymnasium at the Clark Field
House on Wednesday, Oct. 5.
Nine women auditioned for the
intermediate/advanced dance
team displaying technique, style
and passion for the sport.
"We're looking for experience and knowledge of jazz, hiphop, and lyrical dance moves.
But most importantly, someone
we can work with; someone
who can progress," said Aliesha Waleneikowski, current
member of Lady Cougars who
was teaching the dance routine
to the prospective members. "It
will be a basic routine to show
style and technique," Waleneikowski noted.
The routine had an emphasis
on jazz and prospective dancers needed to quickly pick up
on the moves. Three dancers
were finable to meet the basic
demands of the dance technique

"It doesn't have to be an overwhelming process. In as little
as 10 days you can put together
an amazing scholarship campaign" said Kaplan. Prospective
and current college students can
dread the scholarship process due
to the length of time often associated with searching for, writing,
and all the other aspects of applying for them.
Kaplan "Receives a letter or
an email every week" from students that have read the book and
obtained scholarships. Kaplan
said that a student recently
wrote in and informed him
about "$40,000 in scholarships"

California Student Opportunity and Access Program (CalSOAP) brought Kaplan to host a

the seminar were that: if you have
a need forfinancialaid for college
and you meet the criteria, you can
get it; if you want money for college and meet academic criteria,
you can get it; and getting the
money for college doesn't have to
be a long tedious process.

Cal State San Marcos has
two new students this semester displaced from Hurricane
Katrina. Deondra Hagan
braved the storm in Louisiana and moved to Fallbrook
with her aunt after the storm
damaged her house.
Deondra never expected
that the hurricane would do
so much damage. Her family
has lived through storms
nearly every year. She went
on to explain that the damage
was mostly from wind.
"We've never evacuated for a
hurricane."
"It got bad around 3 a.m.,
the wind was blowing and
trees were snapping," said
Deondra. She described how
the wind tore off the shingles
of her house.
"I have nothing to complain ¿bout, some people
have nothing," said Deondra,
"material things come and
go, we're glad we are all here
and alive."
An Executive MBA student
from the University of New
Orleans, Deondra started Cal
State San Marcos' MBApro. gram this semester.
Deondra left New Orleans
with her two brothers, sister
and her grandmother. They
are staying at her aunt's
house in Bonsai, CA. Her
father stayed behind to
help repair their and other
homes.
"I 4ove California," said
Deondra. She does not plan
to return to Ne\V Orleans and
wants to finish her degree at
CSUSM.
Deondra explained how
she had to enroll over email
since she did not have transportation to school and back.
She went on to say that Cal
State San Marcos has been
"great" and "a lot of people
are working with me."
Future goals for Deondra include law school and
a career as a sports attorney. "I want to have my own
business in sports." An avid
sports fan, Deondra played
basketball for her previous
college.

Catch Eye
BY AMANDA KEELEY
Pride Staff Writer
I first noticed Juliet Cody in my
Comm 360 class when she walked
into the class room with a guide dog.
I knew that her experience on campus
would be different than mine, so I
decided to chat with her and hear
some of her stories.
Juliet grew up in Santa Monica
Beach as the oldest of four in a family
of two parents, two sisters and a
brother. She went to Santa Monica
High School before moving to San
Diego, and went to UCSD before
coming here to CSUSM.
One of the reasons she came to
CSUSM is because of how accommodating our campus is to the disabled.
She said she loves how she can find
talking computers, Braille everywhere
and a friendly student body. I asked
her how one should approach her when
they see her on campus and she said
she's always open to talk, but that it's
extremely important to identify yourself. I also discovered that Juliet loves to
surf.. .yes, surf. She also enjoys music,
technology, and taking long 12 mile
walks with her guide dog Marly, whom
she named after the reggae legend Bob
Marley. Her major is communications
with an emphasis in public affairs.
Juliet gradually went blind, due to
a condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa, about nine years ago, but wasn't
completely blind until aboutfiveyears
ago. She said the hardest adjustment
has been transportation, especially in
North County.
I turned my attention to Marly,
Juliet's beautiful golden retriever,
and asked if she's always had Marly
to help get around. She told me that
she actually used cane travel for five
years before getting Marly. I asked
her about the qualifications to get a
guide dog and learned that after she
applied people from the service came
out and interviewed her. According
to Juliet, it's important to have good
cane skills, live an active life style,
be in good health and able to handle
a dog.
Juliet is an advocate for the disabled
and is President of the Beach Cities
Chapter National Federation for the
Blind. As she seemed so comfortable
with being blind, I asked her if she had
known anyone who was blind before
she went blind herself, and surprisingly she hadn't. Juliet told me that
she would love to have her eye sight
back if she could and told me about a
procedure that is still being developed.
The doctor implants a computer chip
in the retina which takes pictures and
sends them to the optic nerve so the
brain can process the image. This procedure won't be ready for another five
years, and even if she does undergo
the procedure successfully, she states
playfully that she plans to keep Marly.
Until then, Juliet maintains a positive
outlook on life, which is most evident
when she states "even after you're
blind, life is still awesome."

Oktoberfest, less
beer, more cheer
BY JASON SAUMUR &
ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
Cal State San Marcos' German
club hosted the celebratory event,
"Oktoberfest", last Thursday in
the Library courtyard.
Offering f ree root beer, bratwurst, and the chance to revel
in German culture, they invited
the campus to enjoy all the trimmings of a festival still celebrated
yearly in parts of Germany.
Even before Oktoberfest's
scheduled opening at noon, at
least 20 students were standing
in line, awaiting the traditional
German foods.
Following the event, I asked
German Club Vice President,
Jean Scheuneman, what she
thought around the Oktoberfest
cultural event both as a local and
as an international event.
FEATURESJ
r £ / / \ l UJVjL/
"In Germany, it [Oktoberfest]
has stuck pretty close t o its original roots. Here in the US, Americans might view it as another
excuse to go out and drink, but
that is not what Oktoberfest is all
about. It is a part of German history."
According to Scheuneman
Oktoberfest originated after
the marriage of Crown Prince
Ludwig to Princess Therese of
Saxony.
"You could say that it originated from a very long wedding
reception that lasted for 5 days.
On the last day there were horse
races and it officially ended the
festival. The decision to repeat
the races basically gave birth
to Oktoberfest." CSUSM didn't
have the horse races.
"Everyone seemed to enjoy
what we had going on. People
can learn more by going on the

Scheuneman.
Although this is only the
second annual CSUSM hosting of the event, Scheuneman
reported that this year "was very
successful, even though I had to
stand under the hot sun with my
costume on. But it was worth
it.. .a little over a hundred people
showed up...another club officer,
Virginia Young, dressed up in
traditional Oktoberfest attire...I
think it attracted more people
over then I had expected."
As the German Club provided
the bratwurst, ASI helped provided the root beer, among other
things. "Diana Wong from ASI

In a h elpful exchange with
Ms. Wong, she echoed many of
the German Club's fond memories. "We had German dancers

"Sausage Toss" was where 10
contestants were randomly
picked and given two chances to
toss a polish sausage on top of
a (root beer) keg that was about
3 -4 yards away. Whoever got
them on top of the keg won great
p rizes...It was a great game
that the participants loved."
Scheuneman encourages everyone to attend next year's Oktoberfest, adding that "since
Oktoberfest is fairly brand new
to San Marcos we can expect
it to grow and become an even
bigger event next year.**

The artwork of Malaquias Montoya displayed in the Kellogg Library.
will remain on display through the
fall 2005 semester. In his artist's
statement he explains that, "As a
Chicano artist I feel a responsibility that all my art should be a
reflection of my political beliefs,
an art of protest." Montoya's art
portrays international struggles
within a community, and can be
said to give a better understanding of the world we live in, that
we are not an isolated culture
that failed, but that we have a
common antagonist that makes it
necessary for us to unite.
Born in Albuquerque, New
Mexico and raised in San Joaquin Valley, California, Montoya
grew up in a family of seven children with parents who could not
read or write Spanish or English.
Since 1968, Montoya has lectured
and taught at numerous universi-
ties and colleges, including Stanford and the UC Berkeley. He was
a professor at the California College for the Arts and Crafts for 12
years, 5 of which he was the Chair
of Ethnic Studies department.
Montoya has been a Professor at
the University of California, Davis
since 1989. His classes, through the
departments of Chicana/o Studies
and Art, include silkscreening,
poster making, mural painting,
and focus on Chicano culture and
history. Montoya's works with
acrylic paintings, murals, washes,
and drawings, but he is primarily
known for his silkscreen prints,
exhibited both nationally and«
internationally.
Also in his artist statement,
Montoya explains that "This
form allows me to awaken consciousness, to reveal reality and to
actively work to transform it.
What better function for art at this
time? A voice for the voiceless."
Being born into a silent and voiceless humanity formed Montoya's
personal views on art and society.
Realizing later that it was not by
choice that we remained mute but
by conscious effort on the part of
those in power, he realized that
his art could only be of protest-a
protest against what he felt to be a
death sentence. Three prominent
themes that run through Montoya's art are injustice, empowerment, and international struggle.
The Context Library Series
wants students to be exposed to
new ways of understanding and
experiencing the world, engaging them and allowing them a
venue to contribute to academia
as young scholars.

T HE PRIDE
Jock talk with Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
When I was
16-years old
the
biggest
concern I had
on my mind
was whether
or not I was
•BMiiMBlFriM going to pass
my
drivers license test. I spent most of
my days playing pool and video
games with my friends. I knew
that I was soon going to grow up
to be a sports journalist, so I made
the most ofjust being a kid.
However, the times are changing. The biggest concern on 16year old Michelle Wie's mind
is if she can make a par-4. The
16-year old amateur officially
became a professional golfer last
week when she signed multi-million dollar endorsement deals
with Nike and Sony which will
earn her over $10 million dollars
annually.
My Uncle always told me
that everyone makes the exact
amount of money they deserve
in this world for their abilities. I
tend to agree with that and I am
all for getting as much money
as you can, but this girl has not
won a single tournament in the
LPGA and she is already going to
be making more money than the
veterans on tour.
The $10 million that she will
be making annually makes it
hard for me to feel sorry for her,
but I kind of do. Wie should be a
sophomore in high school enjoying this time that she will never
get back. I mean some of my
greatest memories in life were
from the age of 13-17 when I was
in high school. She will never get
that opportunity to create childhood memories.
I believe Tiger Woods put it
best when he said at 16-years old
he was only concerned about what
colleges he was going to apply
to. Woods, perhaps the greatest
golfer to ever swing a club, has
a valid point. Wie needs to grow
up and develop her game much
like Woods who went to Stanford
after high school.
People may think I am a hypocrite because I siipport the right
of seniors in high school to enter
the MLB and NBA drafts. However, I am not a hypocrite because
those people are 18-years old
when they make that jump. They
are allowed to vote and go to war
so I see no problem in allowing
them to pursue their careers since
they are of legal age. I just don't
see how the LPGA can morally
j ustify letting someone became a
professional golfer when she can't
even drive the golf cart unless
there is an adult with her.
I mean I know why the LPGA,
Nike, and Sony are behind her.
Cai State San Marcos
runs strong at UNLV
Cross Country Invite
Clearly because she is someone
that they can market to death,
just like the IRL is in marketing
heaven right now with Danica
Patrick (another person who
hasn't wont jack, but because she
is attractive, she is a huge draw).
Another reason I am not too
happy about her declaration of
becoming a professional is that
she is already taking away press
from the great golfers on tour. Wie
says she wants to play in the Masters one day. I personally think
that would be a shame, because
there is literally no way she could
win and she would take away so
much press from the contenders.
You really only have to look at
Annika Sorenstám to realize my
statement is not sexist. Annika is
without a doubt the best Women's
golfer in the world and she is even
more dominant in her league than
Tiger is in his. I was in f ull support of Annika making a run at
winning a no-name Men's tournament several months ago. However, she couldn't even make the
cut and the average Men's tournament doesn't even compare in
difficulty to the Masters.
When I turn on Sportscenter
I want to see how Annika and
Tiger fared in their respective
tournaments, not some 16-year
old girl who hasn't won anything.
Just let her be a child like the rest
of us were allowed to be.

every single person in this country is right, and every single
person is wrong, no matter

around like a young girl at a frat

all of those radical liberals, are
'blood thirsty war mongrels,'
which is obviously true. Don't
you worship Michael Moore?

Sigur
Straylight Run C D review comesRostown
to
BY MELISSA BAIRD
Pride Staff Writer
Straylight Run's new EP "Prepare
to be Wrong" t urns anti-love and
anti-war propaganda into music that
is both painful and clever.
The voice of Michelle Nolan
introduces the band's album, singing of discontentment in the present moment. The vocals echo eerily,
suggesting an unhappiness that is
unbearable but hard to pinpoint.
The second track, titled 'It Never
Gets Easier' provides an explanation
to the intro, speaking of a shallow
romance based on coffee shop meetings and small talk.
John Nolan states, "But a strong
distaste for confrontation leaves
no room for self expression." This
phrase is easy to relate with. Holding back honesty in fear of causing
offense often occurs in relationships.
The most intelligent aspect of the
track is Nolan's breaking apart of the
word 'sentences' into distinct syllables as he sings, "The syllables . ..
just aren't sen - ten - ces." Through
this he highlights the lack of communication in the relationship.
Track three's 'Later that Year'
shifts the album's focus from unfulfilling love to the broken promises of war. It starts off with what
sounds like snoring surrounded by
an acoustic melody. The melody
grows and lyrics speak of bodies

Pride Staff Writer

returned wrapped in flags. Nolan
and Nolan then repeat, "We did the
math and it wasn't worth it after all"
continuously, emphasizing the huge
discrepancy between the number of
lives lost and the number originally
expected. I assume this is geared
toward President Bush and the war
in Iraq.
The following two Straylight Run
tracks focus again on the pain of love
and then on the pain of war. I sense a
major pattern.
My favorite line from the latter
half of the album is, "Don't you say
a word unless you're pretty sure that
you want it analyzed." This shows
the irony that comes from one person
speaking casually without thought
and the other taking the words as
gospel.
It is possible I am overanalyzing
Dolan's words myself. But if I am,
I'm sure he would be flattered.
The final song is a redo of Bob
Dylan's 'With God on our Side.' The
song is basically seen as a satire on
pro-war fundamentalist Christians.
It provides a quick history lesson
while poking f un at the idea of religious protection. It closes with 'if
God's on our side, he'll stop the next
war/ This and other remarks would
be quite laughable if they weren't so
true.
I hadn't heard of Straylight Run
until recently, but I enjoy their music.
Though the new EP lasts less than
half an hour, the information within
it can keep a person occupied for a
lot longer.
The stage was set
afire at Copley's Symphony Hall on Monday
night, Oct. 3, with
the musical sounds of
Sigur Ros.
The Icelandic band
has made a return to
the U.S. in order to
play a small tour. Their
performance was unrivaled, with a two hour Image courtesy of Bad Taste Label
set on stage, and with each band member playing various instruments, Sigur Ros showed their vast understanding of music, and how to bring the audience to
their feet.
If you can't understand the lyrics it is reasonable, as
the lead singer uses both Icelandic and gibberish in a
•made-up language called hopelandic. The language is
used as another instrument in their already vast array. It
is a beautiful assortment of strong vocal bursts coupled
with soft and brilliant spoken parts.
As for their show at Copley's, the lighting was phenomenal, as was the acoustics of the building. You could
hear every note from every instrument, be it from Jonsi
Birgisson wailing on his guitar with a violin bow, or the
intricate notes on the keyboard by Kjartan Sevinsson.
The show was the best I've ever seen, hands down.
Sigur Ros played a good amount of songs from their
new album Takk (released 2005). It was the blend of old
and new songs that kept the crowd entertained as they
explored a newer musical direction, but still returning
to their old mixture of strings and slow, intense music.
For more information on Sigur Ros or their albums,
you can visit them at www.sigur-ros.co.uk.

I mage c ourtesy of Universal S tudios
BY ALFRED CHU
Pride Staff Writer
Walter Abrams (A1 Pacino),
owner of a gambling advising
company said, "Sports betting
is a $200 billion industry a year,
yet it is illegal in 49 states." This
is one of his lines while pitching Brandon Lang (Matthew
McConaughey) a job offer to his
illustrious firm. "We are selling
certainty in an uncertain time,"
Abrams continues.
Lang, a former football star
with a knee i njury that retired
h im, attracts Abrams when
he correctly predicts wins for
several football games in one
weekend. Abrams recruits
Lang f rom Las Vegas to j oin
him in New York. Lang is then
lavished with a new image,
money, a sports car, $1000 suits,
women and even a new name,
which becomes John Anthony.
At the top of his game, his winning streak ranges f rom 80 percent to even 100 percent. He
becomes " The Million Dollar
Man". But as the saying goes,
"Everybody's good luck streak
has to end sometime."
"Two for the Money" reminds
me a lot of "Boiler Room,"
where young men were shaped
into hardcore salesmen. They're
not selling stock, but are selling
themselves, an idea and a dream.
Same goes for Abrams and his
gambling advising firm. They
convince their clients why they
should bet on teams through their
sales pitch.
Abrams and Lang's father/son
and mentor/protégée relationship is the second best aspect of
the film. Abrams suffers mild
heart attacks and his marriage is
constantly on the rocks. But for
him to mold Lang into a younger
version of himself, is in a way,
making Lang walk the plank, but
Abrams doesn't care.
The best aspect of the film is
Pacino's performance; it makes
this film worth seeing. He grinds
up any role and makes it his own,
as if the screenwriter was writing
it specifically for him. I dare you
to name one bad Pacino role, you
can't because it doesn't exist. His
performance definitely makes the
movie.

Tenure denial sparks controversy on campus
Student vouches for
von Son's teaching
credentials
BY LILLIAN POZOS
Pride Staff Writer
A n open forum was held on, Sept. 28,
following a MEChA meeting to discuss
the alleged refusal o f tenure to a professor of the World Languages Department.
Omar Yafiez and Amilcar Chavez, both
students of CSUSM, were scheduled to
hold a dual discussion, but Chavez was
allegedly legally advised not to attend the
open forum.
The forum was held to discuss whether
Carlos von Son, assistant professor of
Spanish and Latin American Literature,
was allegedly "racially discriminated"
against through the alleged refusal of his
tenure. Yafiez, the student in support of
von Son's tenure, explained his perspective on the history of von Son.
Yafiez agreed to hold the discussion if
someone would balance his arguments.
According to Yafiez, von Son is currently pursuing a lawsuit in the San Diego
court system. In his lawsuit, von Son is
allegedly accusing a female professor of
sexual harassment and a male professor of
unequal treatment. Many of the CSUSM
faculty have been subpoenaed, denying
their ability to speak about von Son, said
Yafiez.
Yafiez explained that the administrations
refusal of tenure is allegedly based on von
Son not being a good teacher according
to student course evaluations, he does not
have enough published works and he does
not do community work.
The World Language department is
focused on Spanish from Spain while von
Son stresses Spanish from Latin America,
said Yafiez. He also said, the administration holds Spanish from Latin America
lower than Spanish from Spain, contradicting von Son's teaching methods. Yafiez
believes von Son shows Mexican litera^
ture and the Mexican dialect as equals of
the material taught in the other Spanish
classes.

ASI and German Club will be sponsoring events in honor of Oktoberfest on Oct.
6 at the Kellogg Library Plaza. This will be
the second year our campus has provided
activities in observance of this German
tradition. ASI and German Club invite students and faculty to partake in this year's
Oktoberfest celebration for its recreational
enjoyment and cultural significance. Festivities for the event will be held from noon
until 1 p.m..
"Participants will be provided free food
and beverages, and there will also be a sausage toss," said Diana Wong, ASI Director of Cultural Programming. The sausage
toss will require contestants to hurl a sausage onto the top of a small cake in hopes
of winning the coveted 'Weenie Award.'
Other prizes include T-shirts and coupons
courtesy of Wienerschnitzel. Wong also
confirmed that a dance performance, provided by guests Bill and Erma Sassel, w ill
be among the event's entertainment.
There has been much speculation from
students and some faculty about the observance of Oktoberfest on our campus regarding the tradition's nature for encouraging
alcohol consumption. To uphold the spirit
of Oktoberfest, Wong commented that a
sufficient "root beer keg" would be present
so as to abide by dry campus policy.

honoring the campus's recycling success,
President Hayes accepted the 'RecycleMan' trophy on behalf of CSUSM.

In his speech, Yanez explained
that four years ago a woman filed
a complaint with the administration against von Son. The woman
allegedly said she was being sexually harassed by von Son but
the administration dropped her
case because there was not sufficient evidence. Yanez claims
the administration wants to discipline him by denying him tenure.
Yanez wants to know why the
woman's testimony is so impor-
tant to the administration now,
when the case is closed.
Yafiez has worked closely with
von Son, producing an independent film that will be shown at a
New York festival.
Being a colleague of von Son's,
Yafiez says he supports von Son's
method of teaching but not his
behavior. To explain the history
of von Son's grievances, Yafiez
said many female students have
complained. He went on to say
that many of the sexual harass-
ment complaints about von Son
have been mentioned on class
evaluations. These are not formal
complaints and are over looked,
but they are written proof.
"The denial of his tenure that
he's not a good teacher . .. its
bullshit," said Yanez.
Von Son's CSUSM home page
states that he has published five
books including "Deconstructing Myths: Parody and Irony
in Mexican Literature." It also
states his many community
activities including include the
fifth annual Main Street Oceanside Day of the Dead Celebration
on, Oct. 30.
According to the CSUSM Web
site, von Son accepted a tenuretrack teaching position as an
Assistant Professor at CSU San
Marcos in the fall of 1997. For
more information about von Son

Attempts to contact von Son
were not immediately return.

�Proposition 73 threatens to revoke teen privacy
I nitiative w ould mandate parental n otification of minor's abortion
BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN
Pride Staff Writer
Proposition 73 brings controversy to the statewide ballot for
the Tuesday, Nov. 8 elections
pushing to amend the California
Constitution requiring written
notification to the parent or legal
guardian of an unemancipated,
pregnant minor at least 48 hours
before performing an abortion on
the minor.
According to the Official Voter
Information Guide, the initiative
would mandate at least a 48-hour

waiting period after the attending
physician has provided parental
notification before terminating
the minor's pregnancy. Proposition 73 defines the context of the
law with thorough definitions,
the most important of which is an
abortion, defined by the proposed
law as causing "death of the
unborn child, a child conceived
but not yet born." The intent of
the initiative is to provide parents
or legal guardians the necessary
information to help their daughters with any serious physical
complications, emotional trauma
or psychological side-effects that
may result from the abortion.
Proposition 73, which supporters
advertise as a 'Parent's Right to
Know and Child Protection,' is a
divided and controversial issue on
the ballot expected to create more
of a buzz the closer the election
comes.
A common misconception
regarding Proposition 73 is centered on whether notification
equates to consent. However,
parental consent is not required
for the minor to have the abortion. The minor has the right to
have the procedure performed or
opt to seek other options available. Opponents of Proposition 73
argue that the law limits the teen's
medical privacy and attempts to
legally mandate family communication.
Parental notification can be
side-stepped. Minors do have
the option to seek a court ordered
waiver with convincing evidence of the teen's maturity or
best interests, as determined by a
juvenile court judge. The proposition also states that an abortion may be preformed without
a waiting period in the event of
a medical emergency, defined in
the stipulations of proposed law
as: necessary to prevent "serious
risk of substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily
function" of the mother as result
of pregnancy.
Under the conditions of the
law, violation of these mandates
would result in monetary damages against the physician. Intentional falsification of parental
notification, by the minor, physician or third-party persons,
would be considered a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up
to $1000. California is not alone
in this endeavor; more than 30
other states have approved similar propositions that have legalized parental notification laws for
minors seeking an abortion.
According to the Campaign for
Teen Safety website, "Ed Hurlbutt, the Regional President of
Right to Life of Central California said, 'Some families are so
unhealthy, involving the parents
would cause more problems than
it would solve.'" The proposition
could ultimately jeopardize the
teen, and the Campaign for Teen
Safety claims that supporters of
the initiative fail to recognize
that not all families are wholesome and receptive to the teen's
right to an abortion. Rebuttal to
the argument in favor of Proposition 73 states that "proponents [of
Prop. 73] believe government can
force teens to communicate with
their parents," which is ridiculous.
In contrast, A Parent's Right
to Know website, challenges the
ideology that nothing medically
happens to a child without their
parent's notification: "in California, a daughter under the age
of 18 can't get an aspirin from
the school nurse, get a flu shot,
or have a tooth pulled without a
parent knowing." Supporters are
aware that the abortion measure
is a potential wild card that could
be a big win for conservative
Republicans.
College students have an interesting advantage with Proposition 73. Unemancipated minors
to do have a voice to vote, but
young adults may easily relate to
either the benefits or flaws of this
initiative regarding teen abortions. Oct. 2 4 i s the deadline
to register to vote. Voter registration cards can be obtained
through the ASI o ffice located at
Commons 207. For further information about the approaching

On Oct. 17 a huge Career Expo will
be held at the plaza in front of Kellogg
Library from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. In past years,
CSUSM has offered two annual career
fairs separating Graduate School recruiters from prospective employers. This year
will be unique with the Career Expo being
a union of both the Graduate/Professional
School Fair and Job Fair.
"This way students can explore both
future career options with employer
recruiters as well as graduate and professional school options with college
recruiters," said Sandra Punch, Career
Center director. The combination is a
winning recipe to accomplish two things
at once.
One hundred and sixteen recruiters are
scheduled to attend the Expo, and according to Punch, "sixty-one of those attending
are grad schools recruiters."
The Career Center advises students to
dress as if they were attending an interview;
a suit would be very impressive. If a suit isn't
possible, Punch suggests wearing a nice pair

Shari could well be an authority on
the subject. A Liberal Studies student
with a focus on Arts and Technology, a devoted wife and a mother of
two college-age sons, and an Oceanside City Council Member, she must
clearly impact the lives of many
throughout her community.
Shari describes her Cal State San
Marcos experience as "long and
tough, but very rewarding."
Although a politician, Shari is also
very down-to-earth and highly accessible, "If you asked me in sixth grade
if I aspired to be a council member,"
she reflected, "I would have told you
'no'. I ran for council out of necessity."
One of the first items Shari placed
on the agenda now establishes that
the City Council plans, staff reports
and back up materials be placed on
the city's website 72 hours prior to
meetings.
cl
•..
..
As of Oct. 1, the new Web site and
binders now allow everyone access to
Oceanside's city government.
Shari is also working on improving the flow of local traffic, raising
awareness on affordable housing
and focusing on good jobs and sound
economic growth. And, if that isn't
more than enough, she is working
on several coastal projects including a wetland restoration project, an
access route alongside the San Luis
Rey River and upgrades to other
coastal amenities, including new
beach access.
Shari states, "I love the ocean and
access to it. For years I have fought
for public beach access and most
recently was able to open one that had
been concealed from the public for
over 20 years. It's awesome to watch
people use the access. Before it was
open, the closest beach access point
was over a mile away."
Successful Student Shari Mackin
truly equates success with helping others. When I asked her to
describe one of her most "successful" moments, she confided, "Success is having someone remember
you 20 years later for holding his
hand on a field trip when he was a
small child. Success is receiving
a phone call on the eve of a council swearing in ceremony from an
autistic student you once worked
with telling you he wanted to come
but had to work."

�Writing Center Opens Its Doors a Little Wider
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
Students who once found it difficult
to get appointments with a writing tutor
should be interested to know that, this
semester, many-more should be available.
The Pride spoke with Erin Goldwin, director of CSUSM's Writing Center about this
latest change.
Rest any fears or high hopes of striking
writing classes from the required course
list; the solution was far less drastic.
"At the beginning ofthe semester," Goldwin explained, "GEW 101 students had to
come to the writing center nine times, for
nine half-hour sessions. The change is that
they are still required to take nine tutoring
sessions, but now onlyfivehave to be from
the Writing Center, the other four utilize
an online program called 'V-Mentor'.
GEW students are still comirjg in, but significantly less than before."
Despite this syllabus change, the prospective writing tutor attends the same
class. LTWR 525 is attended by LTWR
majors primarily, yet it is open to all students. "There's no requisite major," furthermore, Goldwin added that, "There is
talk of opening another type of course for
tutoring classes of other backgrounds."
From its inception in 1991, the Writing
Center has always been available to all.
If students needing help with science and
business classes ever felt edged out, it was
certainly not a matter of bias, as Goldwin
saw it. "With the growth in student population," 600 GEW students this semester
by her estimation, "there were so many
appointments that students couldn't get in.
Now, there are a lot more for everybody."

Goldwin believes the biggest differences vice is an underlying apprehension over
are often dependent on where the center is whether a tutor contradicts a professor's
"housed". Our Writing Center is part of instructions.
"It's common for professors to misunderstand what we do." Goldwin acknowledged. "There's tension, especially in
LTWR, some professors will get offended
that the need for a Writing Center reflects
poorly on their ability, which it doesn't
at all. But that's something we've always
dealt with."
Mr. Sebring related to this experience
entirely.
"At Palomar there were both pros and
cons, some professors were supportive and
some preferred students not go. I'd assume
they'd support it simply because it gives
them additional resources."
Director Goldwin was also quick to
point out that "One of the philosophies
behind the center is that the tutor is not
an authority on the writing. The tutors are
here to.. .help them find a direction. We're
here to give feedback, but rarely a definite
answer. A tutor should never say 'you're
writing this wrong.' In the manual it specifically notes that they're not supposed to
talk about grades."
Even as it seems unavoidable to tempt
conundrums within the service, those who
felt ill-prepared for college writing would
hardly be offended to know that many
High Schools are establishing services
of their own amid the growing number
of professional centers. In Mr. Sebring's
experience students often "won't realize
they're having trouble until its way too
late. They're in doubt of what's going on,
(they don't know) that the center is here,
they struggle on when they could have
gotten some help."

our Writing Center's tutoring, see (website).

Jock talk with Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
- -^am^mr—i
Since I didn't have
a column at the begin•
ning of the baseball
season you're going
to have to trust me
when I tell you that
I predicted an 1-5
World Series between
^
•
the Padres and the
Angels.
Sometimes good things happen when
you don't deserve them to happen. The
San Diego Padres are a perfect example
of that.
The Padres have won an invitation to the
MLB playoffs that start this week because
they won the National League Western
Division. However, when you look around
the league at the teams with significantly
better records who are out of the playoffs, it is easy to say that the Padres don't
deserve a birth to the postseason. If the
Padres were in any other division they
would havefinishedin the bottom half and
talks of playoffs would have disappeared
in mid-July.
I guess I have to stick with my original prediction of a Padres-Angels World
Series since both teams are still alive. I
am confident with the Angels making the
World Series but the Padres are an entirely
different story.
The common prediction is that the
Padres will be eliminated in thefirstround
because they have to face the St Louis
Cardinals. The Cardinals were the best
team in the National League this year and
they were the National League Champions
last year before losing to the Red Sox in
the World Series. However, I can see some
rays of hope for the friars.
To begin with the Padres won the season
series against the Cardinals four-to-three
(three-of-four in St. Louis). Also, the Cardinals are a battered team. Their all-star
third baseman, Scott Rolen, is out for the
playoffs. Larry Walker, their starting rightfielder, is on a day-to-day basis with his neck
which means one day he could hit a couple
homers, but the next day he couldn't even
bend down to pick up a bat. Also, Reggie
Sanders, their starting left-fielder, has been
in a gigantic slump since returning from
the disabled list in mid-September.
With all of those injuries the Cardinals still, without a doubt, pose a threat
because of two players by the name of
Albert Pujols apd Jim Edmonds. Pujols is
arguably the best player in the majors, but
he can be contained by keeping the batters in front of him off the bases so Pujols
doesn't get a chance to do more damage
than he is capable. Generally, the person
who bats in front of Pujols is Edmonds.
Edmonds is dangerous at the plate and in
the field as he is arguably the best centerfielder in baseball.
The Cardinals pitching staff isn't as
menacing as some people think. The
Padres fare well against right-handed
pitchers and the Cardinals will most
likely have a three man pitching rotation
of right-handed Chris Carpenter, righthanded Matt Morris, and left-handed
Mark Mulder.
If the Padres somehow find a way to get
past St. Louis then they will face either the
Atlanta Braves or the Houston Astros.
I would feel much more comfortable facing the Braves since the Padres
took five-of-six (two-of-three in Atlanta)
during the regular season. The Padres
only went three-and-four (one-of-four in
Houston) against the Astros during the
regular season.
The Braves are an easily beatable team
because they have a weak bullpen and a
starting pitching staff that is really built
for a long season and not a short five or
seven game series. Not to mention the
Braves also have a young team that relies
heavily on rookies who have no playoff
experience.
The Astros on the other hand pose the
biggest threat because of their starting
pitching. The Astros boast a trifecta starting staff of Roy Oswalt, Andy Pettitte, and
Roger Clemens. Those three guys could
be the ace on any team in baseball and as
the baseball saying goes, "pitching wins
championships." However, the Astros have
a weak offense and in the playoffs a team
needs to score at least four-runs a game to
be competitive.
Ahh screw it, who am I kidding? The
Padres will lose in thefirstround. But hey,
at least they made the playoffs and I can't
wait till next season.

�A parking riddle
BY CATHIE SARNECKY
Special to The Pride
"What has: 114 parts (81 normal and 33
blue); suddenly appeared in August; was
a well-kept secret for about 3 weeks; and
is used by faculty/staff, and students (but
mostly the former)?"
If you guessed the new parking lot
behind the under-construction Business
building, you were right. It is General Lot
H and for the 81 students who discovered
it during the early weeks of the semester, it
spelled freedom from arriving huffing and
puffing after trekking up the hill and the
stairs. You exit your car, walk about 100
yards onflatground and stroll past the designated smoking area (warning: start holding your breath as you step o ff the asphalt)
and you walk right into either Science Hall
(A) or Academic Hall.
I noticed an anomaly this week. My
"discovery" had become full even by 8:00
(I don't have classes 'til 10, but this jewel
was worth getting up early) and most of
the cars were faculty/staff. At the same
time, the usually packed faculty lot about
another 100 yards to the right of the Parking Services Building had 2 or 3 empty
rows. Hmmmm, perhaps it was just a
coincidence! We shouldn't begrudge the
purveyors of our education a parking spot
that would reduce their walk by perhaps 15
or 20 seconds. After all, they pay to park
too.
Then there is the issue of 33 handicapped spaces in a lot of 114. I decided I'd
better go to the source to find an answer to
that disproportionate figure. 1 dropped by
the Parking Services office and spoke with
Robert Williams, the Coordinator, who can
"talk parking all day." Robert explained
that one reason "H" was such a secret is
that when it was reported to the "Loop" for
e-mail distribution, the only way to read
about it was to notice the "Click here for
news about parking."
Here is an abbreviated version of that
report: a) Parking Lot H is temporary and

With all the construction planned in
CSUSM's future, how about building a
place for students to relax after class, a place
to ease the tensions of exams - a bar?
Now, it's true that this suggestion
appears to fly in the face of the polices
toward alcohol that the campus has put
forth in recent years, yet there are good
college, where people come, go to class,
and leave. An on-campus bar would make
a great place for students to interact and
get to know each other. N o matter what
you may think of bars personally, for many
people they are places to relax - or pick
up a date - and it would be nice to have a
place that students could go, have a drink,

The second reason we should have an
on-campus bar at CSUSM oddly enough
has to do with many of the concerns that
the campus has recently expressed over
the drinking habits of the student body.
Cal State San Marcos was one of a number
of state campuses to receive a substantial
grant in January of 2005 aimed at curbing
alcohol abuse among students. With the

plan seem more than a bit intrusive into
the outside lives of students, its ultimate
goal of deterring irresponsible drinking is
an important one, especially as CSUSM
continues to grow.
A s fascist as it may sound, Cal State San
Marcos could regulate negative incidents
related to drinking by having a bar on
campus. Students Would not have to travel
* elsewhere to drink after class, which is a
What i
key safety issue. A bar on campus could
also limit the number of drinks a student
could have and would ensure that an only
twenty-one and up age group was allowed
access. Students are going to drink no
matter what, so you might as well have
them do it where there can be actual control and regulation.
The current alcohol policy at CSUSM
expressly prohibits the possession or sale
of alcohol on campus without prior consent from the campus President. So having
a bar on campus would have to be approved
by the President, yet should not be a problem if CSUSM were to look to the many
colleges that actually have such establishments on campus.
It is unfortunate that drinking has
attracted such negativity about it when it
comes to college students, and having a bar
on campus is going to be controversial no
matter how you present it. Yet the idea of
having an on-campus bar at Cal State San
Marcos is not without some merit. What
do you think? schra009@csusm.edu

The day is at its start and I arrive at class
five minutes past scheduled commencement and my instructor, glares at me as i f
to say "You lazy child. To MY class you
must always be on time," to which I return
a glance of my own in a silent but credible
rebuttal. I seat myself and my mind starts
to register as now it is ten minutes past,
and a classmate leans over to ask "Are you
all right? You look tired." My friend, my
fatigued state is only the tip o f the iceberg
that is my life.
I belong to the population of students
everywhere whose responsibilities consume beyond 100% of their available
time. I've bit o ff more than I can chew
and condemned myself to imprisonment within my busy schedule. If not

group communication in the morning,
I'm discussing Derrida and Marx in the
afternoon, and working for The Pride
at night. During the week I am a tutor,
mentor, and scholar and on weekends
I'm a secretary, volunteer, and daughter. Then finally when I do manage to
confiscate a slice of my own free time,
my boyfriend is waiting hungrily to consume it.
For what do I work so hard for? Why
the incessant need for struggle? Well...
Because if I carry 18 units now and 18

Because my gas needle seems to always
fall on empty
Because certain classes in my major

Because...I made my bed and I now

Snap back to my early morning incident
where I'm put on display as a slacker of

��Foo Fighters
come
town
BY AMIRA EL-KH AOULI
Special to The Pride
"I predict a riot, I predict a
riot."
Even though a riot was predicted, it never showed its face.
As this time around the San
Diego audience was a bit fickle.
At the Foo Fighters, Weezer and
Kaiser Chiefs concert many fans
seemed indifferent towards these
talented bands.
Wait, I take that back. One
circle pit attempted to create a
following. Maybe it's because
the Tuesday night concert-loving
crowd was thinking about work
or school in the morning but
there was much to be appreciated
at this show.
Before I get to the bands, let
me note the production crew did
a phenomenal job with the lighting and stage set-up that night.
The Weezer set was exceptional
because everything was over the
top. Lighting switched focus from
the band to the audience and back
again. There were even three different backdrops accentuating thé
stage. One, a giant version of the
cover art from the band's latest
album "Make Believe," the next
exemplified a starry night and
last was the Weezer "W" flashing
in golden lights.
It was quite a change from the
Kaiser Chiefs set, which didn't
have much flash or pizzazz, but
it did have heart. Watching them
is like watching an old punk rock
video, with each member jumping up and down the stage. I was
excited to hear such songs as "I
predict a Riot" and "Oh My God"
performed.
Kaiser Chiefs is comprised of
singer Ricky Wilson, guitarist
Andrew White, bassist Simon
Rix, keyboardist Nick Baines and
drummer Nick Hodgson. I was
pleased with their performance.
Weezer was a disappointment,
with newer songs "Beverly Hills"
and "We Are All on Drugs" just
doesn't do it for me. They seem
too shallow to be coupled with
Foo Fighters. The sound quality wasn't as good as listening
to their studio-produced recordings and the light show was what
kept me entertained. I personally
would not suggest seeing Weezer
in concert.
After a much anticipated wait
came Dave Grohl and the rest of
the Foo Fighters (guitarist Chris
Shiflett, bassist Nate Mendel and
drummer Taylor Hawkins).
Grohl was all about audience
interaction. Besides his trademark playing in the audience and
jumping all over the set, he gave
a shout-out to a particular fan
that went on stage and exposed
his balls at a previous San Diego
concert. He even encouraged a
repeat of the stunt. Though a fan
made it on stage, he didn't listen
to Grohl's instructions.
The Foo Fighters were a great
treat and Grohl even stated he
wanted to perform more shows in
our country's finest city.

This past summer, a new Biotechnology major was approved by the Chancellor's office for Cal State San Marcos.
Dr. Albert Kern, director of biotechnology programs here at CSUSM, was
able to get this program started with an
internship with 11 companies.
The major is needed because the
market research and the leaders of the
Biotech industry need well prepared
graduates in lab and business. The
Biotech program not only includes the
internship, but also guest lecturers and
mentors from the Biotech industry.
Kern stated that he does not know

Cal State San Marcos will
host its Preview Day on Saturday, Oct. 1 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The purpose of Preview Day is
to show what the campus has to
offer to prospective students.
"It's a showcase of our university," Admissions Counselor, Karen Francisco-Butler
said. There will be volunteers
bringing people on campus
tours. Housing tours will provide dorm information to all
interested students. Field house
tours will also be offered all day.
Thirty student volunteers are
signed up to help with Preview
Day. Volunteers include student workers, clubs, and organizations from campus. "At an
event like this we can't have too
many volunteers to make it successful," says Admissions and
Recruitment Director, Nathan
Evans. Volunteers are still welcome to assist with the various
festivities of the Preview Day
event.
Outside the library will be a
Campus Resource and Information Fair. Admission and Application Workshops for freshmen and transfer students will
be provided. The University
Bookstore, Kellogg Library, and
other services will be opened
on Preview Day.
Information sessions by academic departments will provide information on all majors
currently offered here at Cal
State San Marcos. Some of the
academic departments that are
participating are the business,

very excited to coalesce the students from CSUSM and the ones

"Hopefully more students will
find out more about it by next
semester," said, Kern. The Biotech major started this fall. The
courses required for this major
range Yrom hard sciences to business courses such as Financial and
Managerial Accounting. Kern
was interested in starting up this
new major here at Cal State San
Marcos because of his personal
experience in the Biotech industry. He worked in the industry
for a little over 25 years before he
came to CSUSM. Working for a
large multinational and start up
company, Kern was also able to
hire and manage many people.
All he wants now is to share what
he has learned.
"There is a lot more to biotechnology than just working in

careers one might get from getting this degree. There are many
jobs beyond the lab that involve
science and require the understanding of it. Kern also said
that graduates with this degree
would be able to find a job very
easily, especially down here in
San Diego since it is rated as the
number one cluster in the biotech
industry. If someone earns his

they wouldn't have to travel very

"Science is a creation of new

hopes many more students who
are interested in science will be
able to take advantage of this new

For some,
the
idea
of success
can come
through
love
for
others success comes in the form
of money. Ian Bentley has encompassed all aspects of success as
defined above.
Bentley is a business marketing
major at Cal State San Marcos,
At age 21, Bentley has just sold
his business of three years and
already has a prestigious job waiting for him upon graduation this
fall. Bentley is a student who has
been able to take his opportunities
and expand on them.
Bentley started detailing cars
in high school as an employee f or.
someone else's business. It did
not take him long to realize that
he wanted all the profit. Through
perseverance and high ambition,
Bentley took the knowledge gained
in mobile car detailing and manipulated it to suit his business.
Bentley was the owner operator of Bentley Mobile Detail; a
company which he based out of
FREE
North County. Bentley has a core
group of cliental that he meets at
their convenience. Of Bentley's
many high-end clients, the former
executive of General Motors is
included.
'
Bentley focused on corporate clients and had enough to
stay busy. Bentley's clients are
aware that he goes to schooLand
because of that, work around his
busy schedule. Bentley averages
about 10 20 hours a week, making
between $50 to $100 an hour;
"Not only has the business paid
offfinanciallybut it is the experience and networking that was fulfilling in the end," says Bentley
Bentley just sold his business for
$15,000 and has recently had three
job offers. He took a job as a marketer for San Clemente California
Software Company. This job will
prove to be a great experience as
he will be given a lot of responsibilities. Bentley leaves for Paris in
two weeks arid will be traveling a
great deal with his new job.
All the while Bentley has maintained a balance in his life, while
sustaining a marriage of two
years, volunteering at his church,
upholding straight A.'s, and securing a place on the Dean's list for
four semesters. With graduation
just around the corner, Bentley has
already accomplished more than
most students his age.

On Wednesday, Sept 21, cast and crew from the
UPN television program, "Veronica Mars", set up
shop at the Dome and dorms, as well as our University and Craven Halls. Massive cords looped
around the stars and salt of the TV earth as they
dashed about to get the new episode filmed on
schedule.
Typically, when the show needs a campus setting they end up on more established schools like
UCSD, however, being more than a few weeks into
its classes, CSUSM was seen as a better option.
Also, according to James Epstein, an' assistant
director on site, our campus had a "good look for
the director."
George Shockley, an assistant location manager, took extra time away from the busy set to
speak with the Pride about his experience filming
amid the bustle of students and staff. When asked
if he'd had any difficulty arranging the shoot he
assured, "actually it was quite quick. And they've
(administration) been very helpful on everything
we've needed." Even though our campus is both
the youngest and smallest public university in San
Diego County, he also stated that his approaches
"pretty much a basic for everything, from houses
tabuildings to everything, there's always a contact ^
that facilitates all of our needs."
As for any potential problems, Shockley seemed
unconcerned regarding any potential interference.
Asked if he'd equate his approach to 'just shoot
and hope nobody interferes', he láughed, "Well.. .1.
Yes." "
"Veronica Mars" is Currently in its second season
with new episodes scheduled to air Wednesday
evenings on UPN.
Catch Eye
BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON
Pride Staff Writer
, I'm enrolled in annass media communication course this semester that requires us as
students to examine media from a "critical"
perspective. Sitting in the enormous lecture
hall with over 70 other students, most looking primed for Laguna Beach, one classmate
caught my eye. Ann Helsig sits in the very
front of my class and on at least every other
opportunity, she raises her hand to interject insightful comments into the lecture.
Her intriguing ideas often compliment my
own and I had been waiting for the opportunity to learn more about her. So, when class
adjourned at 12:45,1 made a beeline for Ann,
and the first "Catch Eye'.
Through the conversation I learned that she
is a social science major with an ethnic studies minor and is set to graduate in December. She plans to teach abroad, having been
inspired by her visits to Morocco and South
America. During the course of our 15 minute
conversation she finished off two cigarettes
of a brand I didn't recognize, while telling
me of activist work she does through organizations such as Freedom Road, and Activist San Diego. Ann finished up by telling
me that her life is committed to "affecting
real change," at which I smiled gratefully.
I'm now so glad that I took the time to get
beneath the surface of my insightful and
mystifying classmate.
Keep reading for more surprises, revelations, and gratifications.

Jock talk with Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
I will be
honest; I had
some trouble coming
up with a
column topic
for this week.
I wanted to
write something on Hurricane Katrina in
regards to the sports world. So,
I bounced around some ideas in
my head, but in the end I always
came back to my opinion that
sports is insignificant when compared to the tragedy in the Gulf
Coast.
In an attempt tofindsomething
else to write about I asked different people for column ideas.
After I talked to about 10 different friends and family members I looked at what they offered
and every single one of them suggested something in regards to
Hurricane Katrina.
My Uncle Rene told me to write
about the different sports teams
that are being displaced and how
they have to play entire seasons
on the road.
The New Orleans Saints have
moved their headquarters to
San Antonio to try and regain
some normalcy to their lives.
Their entire season won't be
played in front of a home crowd
because the Louisiana superdome is destroyed which automatically puts them at a distinct disadvantage even before
kickoff.
The New Orleans Hornets
will also be playing an entire
season on the road when the
NBA season starts up. They
will be calling Oklahoma City
home for 35-of-41 games, with
the other 6-games being played

The athletics at Tulane University are taking a big hit as
well. The university is canceling the cross country season this
fall while members of the football, basketball, and other teams

Rice.
My friend Chantal told me to

Yes, smoking is a thoroughly unhealthy habit.
Second-hand smoke has been correlated with deadly
diseases, and smokers are now a solid minority in California. So, it should seem obvious that by removing ash trays
and limiting smoking areas smokers would recognize the
needs of the non-smoking majority. Right? I imagine many
readers will need a moment to nod before reading on to the
obvious answer.
Wrong!!!
People I know consider me dependable, productive, clean,
healthy and studious. I have a solid career at a charitable nonprofit organization, help support my parents, exercise regularly, speak up for environmental issues, volunteer at my local
television station, earn straight A's, and like many others...I
smoke. I am indeed one of those people frantically puffing
away between banishments to back lots and behind buildings. The typical questions, Why do you smoke? Why don't
you quit? Etc. all are valid, and all have simple answers: I
smoke for everything from raw nerves to relaxation to addiction. I haven't quit because I'm not ready to, I didn't feel
better when I attempted to quit, end of story.
Yet, back to square one, many of you believe if ashtrays
were removed, and smoking banned on campus, me and
others like me would be forced to change.
Wrong again!!!
If anything can be said of smokers on the whole, it's that
we are a very loyal lot. When there's a will, there's a way,
but wouldn't you rather see us in a central location depositing our leavings in plentiful, clean ashtrays, rather than puffing out second-hand smoke in bathroom stalls and dropping
our butts in random little piles all over our fair campus?
Wouldn't you prefer to have us out in the open, where you
could easily avoid our selected airspace? Wouldn't you be
more in favor of conveniently designated smoking areas as
a fair solution to this controversy than an inefficient hypocritical move to sweep us under the rug?
Birds fly. Babies cry. Smokers smoke, as do I. Let's
keep our campus clean, pristine, honest and open, even to
that which may seem unhealthy and annoying. Who knows,
your habit or shortcoming could be next.

SMOKE

Smoking's prevalence on campus reinforces the yiew that
people are more apt to kill themselves than each other.
If you are okay with (this substance), you should also be okay
with leaving the front door open, walking poorly lit paths alone, and
picking up hitchhikers; If the probable suicide of cigarettes doesn't
scare you, it makes no sense to fear the less likely act of murder.
I still remember a day at Starbucks. The woman ahead of me had
ordered a nonfat latte with extra whipped cream. I predicted this
woman would probably light up as soon as she stepped outside, and she
did, violating the virginal morning air with her carcinogens.
There is only one type of person who douses fat free liquid with fat
filled cream, and it's the kind who fears obesity while they ingest such
things, the kind who fears death while destroying their guts.
The smoker.
There are 84 steps leading to the Arts building, 42 between Kellogg and University Hall, and from there another 50 to the Academic
and Science halls. It's a respiratory challenge for me to climb to class
four days a week, even though I'm neither fat, asthmatic nor nicotinedependent.
In addition to conserving space, these steps also function to discourage smoking, but they must wage a constant battle against the elevators, pitting sloth against exercise, life against death. Along with indoor
steps bathed in air conditioning, elevators make it all too easy to travel
through campus with rotting lungs. Such luxuries cater to smokers and
should be reserved for those with genuine special needs.
I won't go into a statistics spiel about the dangers of smoking. Most
of us have been given scare tactics since the fifth grade. I will say,
however, that I can't understand why people willingly harm themselves
with such things. It seems pretty masochistic.
If I sit down outside Starbuck's and begin slitting my wrists, I will be
deemed 'self-destructive' and counselors will be called. If I sit down
and begin smoking, I will be left alone, unacknowledged. Why does the
former get all the attention, when the latter ends up just as damaging?
At least the former heals. Smoking should therefore be equally deserving of psychiatric intervention.
If death isn't turnoff enough, consider the sex appeal of a mouth
that reeks of ash. Smokers will kiss smokers. Nonsmokers are more
hesitant. Such tendencies result in a high level of intra-addictive marriages. The image of lovers refilling each other's oxygen tanks isn't
very romantic.

Fall Alone: the trials of a shared experience
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
Time is valuable, in-valuable
for never being so infinite as we
pretend to promise. This goes
doubly for time alone, no matter
what you do with it, or what it
does to you. In between a little of
both I've been fortunate enough
t o have had friends, even f amily,
that I could confide in. Yet, the
type of relationship, the type of
bond, the one whose absence
tempts loneliness no matter how
many surround you, no matter
how complete your retreats, this
has eluded me for the majority of
my young adult life.
Whether or not unusual, it
certainly isn't unfair. I've never
had proportions worth a second
glance, and my 'character' compensations typically run the
gauntlet from intimidating back
to pitiful. Now couple a hyperactive (indeed outright lecherous)
libido with an inflated tongue
in a spiteful head and it seems
silly that I bothered blaming too
much time between chances,
citing atrophy as I boiled away
in my own juices, bitter and dry.
There's no sympathy to be earned
in this, only small wonder that
I formed so many other malignant, judgmental explanations,
yet still had enough ego left over
for a sense of wasted capacity.
I had all this
going
for
me when,
over the
summer,
I fell in

it's usually an excuse to buy shit.
I've seen no relationship, save
my parents', stand the test of
time, and I have no reason to
believe any type of forever is ever
guaranteed.
'She
and I ' fell in
love.
And what would
I have done had I not
retained those punctuating moments of optimism
and life-praising vulnerability?
And what the Hell was I thinking, getting myself into such a
thing?
I'd say 'be careful what you
wish for', but I don't believe in
wish-granters, or external-fate for
that matter. I don't buy into some
magical force swooping down
to turn dull, fickle livestock into
living embodiments of devotion
and goodness. I don't buy love as

put the warmth, the distinct and
sovereign warmth of her touch,
in any other vessel. Last week,
I dropped my entire evening,
drove the twenty miles, and raced
through the grocer for soup and
Popsicles (The good ones!
Only 'Buyer's' for my
baby!) at her mere
suggestion of illness. She makes
a servant and
a real man of
me whether she
knows it or not
and it scares me
alive.
I'm in love whether I
deserve it or not, so I might as
well like it.
Sharing it, though, is another
matter.
How beautiful? How sweetly
and intensely matched? That's
something for me to know and
you to dream about. By 'share' I
mean how difficult it is to keep
up my duties as eccentric misanthrope if I'm busy telling all of
you how accidental and wonderful love is. I guess 'too late now'
sums it up nicely.
Forget the formulas and
forget the idea that bitterness
makes you any more attractive
(or protected) than living in a
hole. Frankly, you shouldn't
even be fishing for this kind of
thing. Better to prepare for it
like a nuclear strike.
I still don't know what we'll
do with each other, we know this
kind of connection is too rare to
let inflate into infatuation, but
finding time to have sole reign
over my presence; it isn't easy
when her absence confronts me
before I can even get the car door
open.
Worrying about the have-have
not of it aside, there are still some
who would abstain, thinking it
easier or more spiritually pure.
They're the ones that deserve
pity, not me, not you, no matter
how lonely or loathsome we
become.
When it comes down to it, I'd
spit this in the face of every gatekeeper from here to Nirvana's
Jacuzzi: 'there is no simplicity or contentment greater than
that found in the arms of human
love'.
I don't deserve it, so there's no
reason you can't have it.

�'Corpse Bride'
lukewarm
BY ZÀCHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer /
v
If you hesitated to fling
yourself into opening weekend crowds at the prospect of a
new Tim-Burton-Creepy-StopMotion picture, then chances
are high that you, like myself,
suspected a capitulation to the
Celluloid Barons f or more mall
merchandise. Perhaps you were
so impressed by "The Nightmare
Before Christmas", whether you
saw it as a result of its sleeper
success, or were lucky enough
to catch it at the theater...over a
decade ago (now who's feeling
closer to the grave) that you now
fear a gigantic let-down.
Rest and peace, it wasn't a letdown.
Not a gigantic one, any way.
Fans of stop-motion should
certainly make time for the big
screen experience. As digital
animation rapidly becomes more
life-like, and more cost-efficient,
those of us who grew up with
"Gumby" are becoming desperate for even a moderate stopmotion fix. Fortunately, "Corpse
Bride" can boast, above all, some
of the most expressive characters
I've ever seen, including those
counted among 'live' actors.
Even when the proportions aren't
believable, the 'puppets' in this
feature are always life-like,
My highest hope was to count
another pearl into the few musicals recommended to those who
avoid musicals, but alas, the music
is lacking father than redeeming. The best tunes in "Corpse
Bride" come from the opening
and back-story numbers, both of
which are passable on tlieir own,
but simply sad when compared to
"The Nightmare Before Christmàs", whose soundtrack still
haunts me. There are impressive
piano-playing moments, but the
few remaining songs are merely
dialog rhymed into passé melody
by tone-deaf characters best left
as walk-ons.
The overall plot remains a
few steps ahead of predictable,
no farther than the genuinely
clever laughs stay ahead of the
corny gags. Considering how
long it takes to animate a single
movement, and considering how
the afore mentioned sub-musical numbers seemed to stretch
the narration, it seems wrong to
merely call it 'too short'. Still,
for all its dealings with 'love',
the angles of the story's trian-

gle didn't have much time to get
under each others'skin.
For those deprived souls
who have yet to see either "The
Nightmare Before Christmas"
or "James and the Giant Peach" for cheap seats, but do go see this
as done by much of the same one, if only to pour some blood
talent, "Corpse Bride" makes on the grave of good movies, that
a fine introduction, but doesn't i t may rise again to scare the flesh "

instead of wearing the pool of blue ink like a new medal of honor through the halls, we

Don't shed artear about not being able tor wear that scribbled shirt again, there are simple

Just apply any products containing alcohol, such as hairspray or nail polish remover. It

Say peace to the pizza grease.
The Dome is no Pizza Hut or Domino's but there is a common problem thè GREASE,
even worse getting it on your clothes. Dropping a pepperoni in your lap or forgetting
to clean up afterwards before resting your elbows leaves a nasty smelly stain. Unlike
coffee that sets in and stays stained, pizza grease can go days in the hamper and you'll
still be able to remove it without a hitch. So instead ofjust tossing the shirt away, try
these thrifty ideas.
Apply Lestoil (cleaner degreaser) or any cheap shampoo directly to the stain, rub and let
sit, and then wash in warm water.
Good luck San Marcos with those nasty stains.

the dance floor? Then maybe
this class is perfect for you. West
Coast Swing is a moderation of
swing dancing with more fluid
movements,
improvisational
styles, and a more relaxed leeway
to add personal touches and
spunk. Beginner's classes meet
in the evenings on Wednesday
nights for a full hour of energetic
swing dancing. Don't let technical moves scare you; the class
encourages repetition and literally taking one step at a time.
Classes cost $50 for six sessions
prepaid, or stop by when you can
and pay $10 a night. Get your
feet into motion and head over
to the community center in San
Marcos.
Tae Kwon Do: Build confidence and character as you
master the art and techniques of
Tae Kwon Do, enabling you to
find inner-control and strengthen
your self esteem. Intensify your
coordination, sportsmanship, and
interactive skills while practicing
necessary tools for self-defense.
Adult classes are available Mondays and Wednesdays with a 10
person minimum per class. The
cost is $60 for six sessions for
beginners.
Classical Hatha Yoga: Come
and learn to reconnect your mind
with your body. Develop tools to
focus on your balance/coordination, flexibility, strength, and
learn how to properly control
your breathing to help you reduce
stress and gain a better aware-
ness and appreciation for life.
Work at your own pace and enjoy
a break for the stress of college
life. Classes are $40 per month,
or a $12 drop-in fee.
Cadio Kickboxing: Burn fat,
improve stamina, and have fun

Jodie Foster, the queen of thrillers does
it once again in "Flightplan." Here she
plays Kyle, a j e t propulsion
*
engineer who
has recently been widowed and is traveling with Julia, her 6-year-old daughter
from Berlin to New York.
Upon waking up from a nap, Jodie Foster
finds her daughter missing. She immediately asks the flight crew to seat every passenger and announce that there's a missing
child.
When no one reports the child being
seen, she demands the captain, Rich (Sean
Bean) and sky marshal Carson (Peter Sarsgaard), along with the crew, to search every
cabin, bin and the access point beneath and
above the plane.
When Julia isn't found, everybody
begins to believe that Kyle is delusional.
Julia's name isn't on the passenger manifest, the departure gate at Berlin has no
record of her checking in and the morgue
reports says she was killed along with her
father/With hef options running out, she
acts on impulse and uses her knowledge of
the plane to conduct her own search.
Don't worry there's a twist, which of
course I won't reveal, but its one interesting way to move on with the plot but
it seemed a little desperate. I will tell you
though, that it starts with an intriguing
premise on the psychological genre but
ends up somewhere over the rainbow.
Foster, in a role similar to "Panic Room,"
is always able to hold back her emotions
just an inch. If she wanted to, she could
follow through. She has mastered • the
facial expressions. For example, she could
be smiling but you still see fear or doubt
in her eyes. Bean's and Sarsgaard's talents
seem wasted in their small roles; I would
have liked to see their characters play a
bigger part in the movie.
Regardless, of the plot or twist, "Flightplan" is saved by its strong performances.
Kanye West's 'Late Registration'
BY CARISSA GOAD
Pride Staff Writer
The latest member of the music
world that almost everyone has
something to say about, regarding
the comments he made about political racial segregation in our nation.
Kanye West dropped his second
album last week, premiering at
number one, with 860,000 albums
sold.
"Late Registration," takes on
a whole new sound then what is
being played over today's radio
waves. His fresh sound incorporates all decades throughout the
past 50 years. The album' was created with a live orchestra instead
of music that was driven by sound
beats. It includes diverse components of j azz, poetry, rap and
soul.
Among my favorite songs on
the new album include "Roses
and Diamonds," which give the
album a softer more feminine
vibe. Others with a more feel
good and get up to shake your
booty j ams like, "Gold Digger"
and "Touch the Sky." Kanye also
attacks political issues and ideas
in such songs as "Crack Music"
and "Addiction." He came up with
controversial ideas but he had to
rely on others to help covey and
portray this notorious lyrical content.
He collaborated with featured artists such as Jay Z, Brandy, Common,
The Game and Paul Wall. According to Rolling Stone magazine,
"Kanye West steps up his lyrical
game, shows off his epic production
skills, reaches higher, pushes harder
and claims the whole world of music
as hip-hop turf."
I listen to this entire album
and agreed that Kanye is not j ust
trying to be another hip artist, but
rather revolutionize hip hop in
another direction. Producer Jon
Brion really gave Kanye what he
needed to let his lyrical creativity flow in another direction compared to his f irst album, "The College Drop Out."

Charges dropped

BYCHEZARE MILO
Special to The Pride
CSUSM senior Jason Williams has been
cleared of all charges resulting from his
Oct. 20,2004 arrest on campus. Williams
said he was improperly stopped, searched,
and subsequently arrested by Cal State
San Marcos Police due to his race. The
arrest sparked open forums, protests and
a formal university inquiry in the form of
The Task force on Campus Policing.
"I feel that justice was not served, but
justice prevailed," said Williams of Judge
Runston G. Maino's Sept. 15 decision to
dismiss all charges.
Judge Runston dismissed the case citing
Penal Code 1538.5, which allows evidence
obtained to be suppressed if, "the search

The Greek community will be opening its doors to potential members Sept.
19 through 26, as our one fraternity and
two sorority chapters hold events on
campus and around San Marcos to promote Rush Week. In addition, Tau Kappa
Epsilon, a fraternity no longer recognized
by CSUSM, is also inviting new members
into their organization through participation in off-campus events.
Each of the chapters' members have
similar ways of emphasizing why they
feel it important for students to become
involved.
"Potential new members can gain leadership skills along with character building
experiences" commented Rachel Wann,

Renovation to focus on office space and organization
BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM
Pride Staff Writer
With the completion of the Markstein
Hall, formerly known as the Business
Building, construction at CSUSM will
shift elsewhere.
A number of projects are scheduled to
be underway as of early 2006, including
additional parking spaces and the construction of a licensed day-care center
for children up to age five. Yet the most
anticipated project to begin with the New
Year will be the renovation of the 1, 3,
and 4floorsof Craven Hall. Plans for the
renovation have been in the works for a
number of years, with the money for it
being allotted from Proposition 55, which
provided finances for the renovation and
improvement of schools statewide.
Among the improvements being
planned with the renovation is the creation of a "one-stop shop" in the old

Voter
registration
BY TRACEY M. TURNER
Pride Staff Writer
Members of Lobby Corps, a committee of ASI, will conduct a voter registration drive on campus. Registration
will be held at least two days a week
leading up to the Nov. 8 elections. The
goal is to increase student voting.
Members of the committee have also
planned two debates over the propositions and ordered voter information
guides, for non-partisan educational
materials from the Secretary of State.
Committee members have set a tentative goal of registering 750 students
to vote and will be out on campus every
week on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to
reach the goal, which is "a match of
last years total," said Joe Wager, Public
Relations Director for Lobby Corps.
Wager and two other committee members attended specialized voter registration training "to learn effective ways
of reaching voters." According to ASI,
Lobby Corps works on behalf of CSU
students to "communicate student relevant legislation [...] and to aid in political forums, voter registration and publicity mechanisms on campus."
Volunteers are welcome, as they
hope to expand the voter registration
program to more days per week. Call
(760) 750-6001.
Among recent turbulence in
Supreme Court and discussion
of the Equal Rights Amendment, ASI will present two
on-campus events this week
discussing the Constitution.
The events are a part of a
new CSU Constitution education program requirement
and also to commemorate this
past weekend's National Constitution Day (Sept. 17).
According to Cheyenne
Barr, CSUSM Director of
Women's Issues for the ASI
Programming Board and CoCoordinator of the ASI Women's Center, many parties colN
laborated on this effort and
"came together to discuss how
we [as a school] could put on
events to publicize the Constitution."

he was "stripped" of his chances
of winning a hurdling title.
Williams said he harbors no
ill feelings towards the officers
involved in his stop and subséquent arrest.
"I feel sad for them, I pray for
them, and I forgive them," Williams said of the four officers
adding, "I'll never forget what
they did, but I forgive them."
When asked if the police
department was going to offer
an official apology to Williams,
Woodard said no.
Woodard added he would like
the campus community to know,
"Were going to continue what
we've always done, this case was
an aberration that had little if
anything to do with the conduct
of officers in this department."
Williams says he plans to,
"focus on school, graduate, and
sign with a record label."
"Its time for people to start
questioning," said Williams
adding, "Racism is still alive in
America."
When asked about the implementation of recommendations
for change within the police
department
Woodard
said,
"We're going to improve communications with the community we
serve, and we have a lot of that in
place already. You're going t o see
more of us, not more in numbers,
but see us more often, and we're
going to start programs like the
citizen academy, to have people
come over and see what we do."

�CONSTRUCTION, from page 1
The influence of worried citizens concerned over the destruction of scenic landscape within
the San Marcos helped enact the
Ridgeline Protection Ordinance,
limiting construction on ridgelines throughout the city. Twelve
ridges have been identified as
being scenically important for
preservation, including those
visible along Twin Oaks Valley
Road and towering above Cal
State San Marcos. Under the ordinance developers will be limited
to certain types of architecture
and design that blends in with the
surrounding natural landscape,
as well as being denied the right
to build multistory structures.
Building projects also have to be
built significantly below visible
ridgelines, with future projects
barred from within 100 feet of
guarded ridges.
Among those projects under
way to preserve the scenic views
around San Marcos is a proposed
recreational park, to be established not far from Cal State San
Marcos. The proposed park would
encompass Discovery Lake with
nearby South Lake, linking the
two currently undeveloped areas
by way of a 100-acre park. With
development set to begin in the
next five years, the park would
ultimately be comprised of literally miles and miles of trails
flanked by natural coastal chaparral and picnic areas. Some of
San Marcos' most scenic ridges
will also be included in the project.
Cal State San Marcos has yet to
be contacted by those in charge
of the Ridgeline Protection Ordi-
CRAVEN, from page 1
for classes, and obtain information all in one location. Easier
access through Craven Hall and
an improved courtyard are all
on the agenda for this renovation.
"It's going to be kind of messy
f or a while," said Bradly Fenton,
the chief architect of the renovation, "but it should go quickly."
Students may find many of the
offices they were familiar with
in Craven Hall elsewhere during
spring and fall of 2006, but the

Perspective of business building construction from inside,
nance, according to Decker, who
notes that CSUSM "hasn't had to
change any plans."
Still, Pecker's organization
has an interest in preserving the
scenery around the campus. For
example, the NCTD was denied
permission by Cal State San
Marcos to build a 30-foot tower
on one of the peaks near campus
since it would be an eyesore.
Looking to the future, Decker
says that at the moment there is
an intention to put trails leading
from the campus to the tops of
nearby peaks.
"It would be great if they
were integrated," said Decker
of the speculative future trails
at Cai State San Marcos and the
trail system being developed
between Discovery Lake and
South Lake.
When finished, CSUSM will
encompass over 300 acres of land
with enrollments in the vicinity
of 25,000 students. Such growth
will continue to bring the campus
into association with local projects in San Marcos.
improvements are intended to
outweigh such inconveniences.
Although the main renovations
will be focused on the offi<^
space and organization of Craven
Hall, Fenton says that the interior
in general will also be upgraded
and will be comparable to the
inside of the new Library.
Plans for the renovation of
began back in 1998 but it takes "at
least 4 years [to obtain] funds,"
said Fenton. The Craven Hall
project is set to begin in March
2006 and last through October of
that year.

either inverting the penis or enlarging the
clitoris.
The Sundance Channel approached
our Student Life and Leadership department for the chance to show "Trans Generation" on campus and eventually gained
additional support byihe Arts and Lecture
Series, LGBTSO, Multicultural and Women's Studies programs.
"Bringing events such as Trans Generation to our campus assists Multicultural
Programs in providing experiences that
educate and support an inclusive campus
community." said Alexis Montevirgen,
coordinator of Multicultural Programs.
There were approximately 25 in attendance of the event, but it was followed by
no formal discussion.

New flag shows school pride
BY JESSICA DAMBKOWSKI
Pride Staff Writer
While new and returning students wandered about, getting
acquainted and reacquainted,
they might yet have missed a new
addition. A new blue and white
flag completes the high flying
trinity in the lower circle, of Kellogg Library and Craven Hall.
Rick Moore, director of communications, and Annie Courtney,
a resource analyst for CSUSM,
both took time out to talk with the
Pride about this new addition to
our campus.
When asked how the decision
was made to put the flag up this
semester, Moore explained, "We
had been asked repeatedly by student leaders why there was no
flag... [We] always felt it would be
good to have aflagbut there were
blocks... funding, responsibility
and maintenance. Spring last year
we had the funds."
Some of you may be wonder,
why the cougar, our mascot,
does no appear on the flag. As
Moore explained, "There was
only one design. The cougar is a
'spirit mark', not the University's
symbol."
The new flag consists only of
the familiar campus and mountains icon and, as Annie Courtney commented, "Displays our
[the university] identity beautifully."
According to Courtney, six flags
were ordered at the cost of $284 a
piece (plus shipping), however,
the company accidentally produced seven flags and allowed us
to purchase the seventh at a discount of $150. The funds for the
flags came from university funds
and an ASI donation of $1,000.
As it's currently planned, the
university police will maintain the
presence of the flags. Although
theflagshave the potential to last
up to six months in good weather,
the idea is to replace it every
semester, but there are no known
plans to update the image.

Intramural sports are athletic teams within the university which are given a chance
to compete amongst one
another. Roommates, friends,
and students of all skill level
are able to join together on
teams of seven.
All intramural teams are
coed, including flag football
which begins on September
23. At least one female must
participate on each team.
Touchdowns are even worth
double if scored by a female.
Even though the season starts
next week, it is not too late to
organize a team.
There are various intramural sports to play, if flag football does not interest you.
Ping-pong, sand volleyball, and dodgeball are up
and coming sports that the
CSUSM athletic department
has in store for students.
To sign up for an intramural
sport you can either organize a
team orflysolo as a free agent
and be assigned a team.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
I'd like to start out by
saying that the most recent
issue of The Pride was
better than the first two
of this semester. I found
myself very intrigued by
most articles and the movie
review; however, I found the
letter to the editor written by
Erika Callahan to be utterly
disatisfying. Once again,
we have people complaining
abdut less important issues
in this world. I mean, come
on, the city of New Orleans
is now a giant swimming
pool and millions are dead
but all you can think to
complain about is how your
veggie burgers are grilled?
Get a CLUE! The majority
of the school's population
I can bet are NOT vegetarians and that is why they
sell hamburgers and meat of
all kinds. It's quick, simple,
and CHEAP. We must not
forget about the cost here.
Maybe the Grill doesn't use
the "left side of the grill"
because it saves on gas
and electric or because that
would take longer to clean
(meaning paying for more
labor hours). Obviously the
school can't have a selecton
of organic food due to cost
as well unless of course we
want to add ANOTHER
fee to our tuition so now
the vegans can be happy!
You say, for now you will
be "brown-bagging it", well
maybe you should just continue with that. Save your
money, for more important
things like the supply of non
withered lettuce and organic
tomatoes that you keep in
YOUR refrigirator. If all you
can find to complain about
is the non vegan friendly
food at our school, then I
say CSUSM is doing pretty
well for it self. Try worrying
about more important issues
like the millions displaced
in New Orleans who would
love to endulge in those nice
fatty grilled hamburgers
that are served in the Dome.
Just think, you have SOME
choices (as you pointed out)
and true, I wouldn't want to
eat the same thing over and
over again everyday, but
just think of the poor kids
in New Orleans who haven't
eaten for five days. No one
is forcing you to eat at the
Dome so stop complaining
about the inevitable and get
on with your life!

�Belonging Students catch parking fee flu
to Myspace But give food for thought
From a student to The Pride
Myspace;
A
Place
for
"Friends"
For those of you living under the proverbial rock,
a new addition the occult has assembled right
under our noses. They meet nightly, sometimes
hourly, coining senseless acronyms, circulating
poorly written blogs, and otherwise gathering to
commit acts of intellectual debauchery, all the
while recruiting new members to join the fold.
Their numbers can now be estimated in the millions, having sects in cities across the united
states, and preying upon the innocent minds
of our misguided youth. Led by a man who is
known only as Tom, this group of miscreants has
unleashed a new wave of virtual camaraderie,
that encourages the humblest teen to take on the
most base and self-indulgent online persona they
can muster, wrapping the pages of their personal
profiles around them like a cloak Joseph himself
would envy. Fiction you say? No, it's Myspace.
Rather than go through the formidable task of
live social interaction, you too can maintain virtual relationships with virtual friends. A byproduct of the technological age, virtual friendmaking is a new development, which began with
other activities traditionally reserved for reality, such as shopping, reading, dating, and card
playing. A1 Gore must hug himself with glee.
A self-described "Place for Friends," the website is a simple, albeit addicting online meeting
place, where users create and maintain their own
personal profiles, complete with photos, personal
information, music, and more. Bands have pages
too, as do clothing companies and night clubs.
In addition to personal pages, users can create
and join various groups of every description;
become a virtual groupie of your favorite band,
or maybe just a genre. There's "Sex in the City"
groups, traveling groups, pet lovers groups, singles groups, married groups, or just the I-like-to
have-sex-in-general groups. "Photography" can
be found as easily as "Real Boys Kiss Boys", and
"Brunettes kick ass", or just join the group
"New Jersey". "I Like Spooning", is on the
same page as "Love is suicide" which is a hop
skip and a jump from, and I couldn't make this
up if I tried folks, "T.B.D.C. The Butt Drag
Club" (who, by the way, boasts 67 members).
In yet another outlet for which to proclaim our
individuality while adhering to a well defined
structural norm, Myspace functions as a virtual platform for not-so-virtual validation. Users
can "comment" on one another's posted photos,
and not a few bulletins are submitted asking for
"friends" to comment (read compliment) their
newest and most captivating offering to the pic
pool. Fewer still, are those photos documenting young women in compromising positions,
wearing little outfits and coy glances. But Photoshop does not a model make, which leads me
to yet another bizarre Myspace phenomena; the
pseudo model. It would appear to the casual
observer that 80% of woman on Myspace are
busty size-nothings with perfect complexions, an
imposing portfolio, and a host of male admires,
all forcing their lips into that oh-so-sexy pout
that reminds me not a little of a case of bad gas.
What does it all mean you ask? Simply that "real"
people are collectable as trading cards, never
look bad, have tons of friends, and have cool
names like Mattis, Forbidden, and Tia Tequila.
In a world dominated by "reality" tv, where nonfiction has reached new heights of popularity, it
would seem that we forgo perusing the fantasy
isle, in favor of living in fantasy worlds. Where
lies the line between what is real, and what is
wrapped in pretty packaging and constructed so
that we can once again pretend that the monsters
do not live under our beds?
Thank you.

BY JESSICA DAMBKOWSKI
Pride Staff Writer
On the list of preparations for an
upcoming semester, the prospect of
setting aside even MORE money for
parking is not a pleasant one. Now, let
me just say this, I was all but thrilled to
see a $90 increase for next semester's
parking permit (that's $248 total), however, after talking to Robert Williams,
coordinator of business operations &
technology, I understood the fees were
predetermined.
"Parking Services is also self-supported, [and] any money made [from
the parking permits] goes back to
building more parking lots," according to Williams. "The most recent lot
[we] finished [was] behind the Business Building."
Talk of the parking on campus
always brings up carpooling. The idea
of carpooling or riding the bus is wonderful in theory, but unpracticed for the
majority of students who have schedules as crazy as my own. They live in
once place, work in a totally different
place, and commute anywhere from
45 minutes to an hour to get to school.
Even if there are commuting students
in the same area, their hours will be as
different as the male and female mind.
I find myself laughing with students
who suggest renting driveways from
homeowners near campus or a parking
spot from the local churches at $75 or
even $150. Some suggestions are rather
witty, though, such as finding several
students who have a similar school
schedule and buying Palomar parking
permits and then splitting the cost of
a single carpool permit from CSUSM.
The idea being the carpoolers park at
Palomar and then cram into one car to
get to San Marcos and then drive back
to. Palomar after class so students can
go home or to their jobs.

I'm certain there will be some really
intricate plans put in motion to avoid
the extra fees. And yet, look at the situation; the extra hundred won't make
anyone walk further to get to class,
but parking in the dirt is still going to
be a drag. Of course, I look forward
to what the creative rebels will think
of when parking passes $300. (Just
imagine!)
One experience of Katrina
Former Pride editor gives f irst h and account
BY MELANIE ADtflNGTON SINGH
Special to The Pride
After a weary two weeks in Gulf
Coast, it was refreshing to see The Pride
online news about CSUSM making a
difference in the lives of so many down
here. I graduated in December 2001
and remember having my CSUSM
friends and faculty as support when we
were reeling from 9/11, so I was glad
to hear that everyone is still supporting
each other and making a difference in
other communities.
I am a California native, but moved
three years ago. Here in Mississippi
and Louisiana there are so many
people needing help yet too devastated
to know how to ask for it. Although I
have sustained only minor damage to
my home and time, I hope that I can
express to you how much pain there is
here. It's not just something to watch
on the news. These are people that may
have lived in your neighborhood before
moving here, and if not they are still
your neighbors.
Out of shock, I remained glued to the
television for thefirstfew days. I waited
to see familiar faces, alive or otherwise. Many in the country have given
tremendously, but there are long term
effects to be considered. Even after
Geraldo and Fox News stops screaming into the camera about the "face of
tragedy', there will be still be thousands of evacuees working to rebuild.
Even at the northern tips we still have
to boil our water as the whole grid
went down. Even turning off the news,
there's no escape from the stories.
I work in the Department of Art at
the University ofMississippi. I've spent
what little free time I have working at
the Katrina Resource Center as well
as fostering a dog from New Orleans
and helping coordinate a benefit art
sale. I met a woman last week I'll
never forget. She walked in, obviously
shaken, trying to say she was from
New Orleans, but just started shaking
and crying. It was difficult even to get
her supplies, she kept apologizing for
having to ask for help and kept trying
to explain to us that she is a working
person, she had a job, but it was washed
away. Finding what gas there was,
she eventually made it to Oxford and
a relative after a few days, normally
this drive takes four to five hours.
The stories that are the worst are from
people who watched their loved ones
wash away or floating their loved ones
dead bodies down the street to get to
a hospital to keep their corpse safe.
I can't feel good about giving money
or working at a shelter knowing how
many others haven't even begun to
make it somewhere that resembles a
home and those who never will because
help didn't come in time. At the end
of the day, exhausted and broke, the
little relief I can give still just leaves
me hollow but I hope that if everyone
does something, at some point it might
be more than enough.
So many are doing as much as they
can and them some, but then there are
others who say "others are giving" or "I
don't have any time or money to spare"
and it makes you wonder. I mean, there
are people who have escaped, knowing they no home, who are willing to
volunteer, but people can't be bothered
to buy a case of water that could save
the lives of people in their own state, in
their own country?
�Sundays at the BLVD
BY SHELLY MONROE
Pride Staff Writer
"Champagne mimosas brunch
served at The BLVD in San
Marcos?" Exactly what I said
when I stumbled across the
club's ad for The Sunday Brunch
Buffet. Though skeptical, I was
very interested in trying it.
I'm sure you have either heard
about or experienced first hand
The BLVD's nightlife, but unlike
other nightspots they have much
more to offer than just the typical bar scene.
Lively or relaxed, The BLVD
is the perfect place to mark a
special occasion with family or
friends. When I entered, I was
greeted by an employee and
told I could sit anywhere. I took
notice of the interior - a casual
and student-friendly sports bar.
If you're a sports fan, The BLVD
showcases 17 televisions with a
variety of athletics going nonstop to keep you updated with
current scores.
The BLVD Sunday brunch
offers eggs, bacon, sausage,
fried chicken, biscuits and gravy,
beans and cheese, spaghetti and
of course cheesy potatoes. On
the fresher side of things crab
claws, shrimp, bagels, muffins,
and fresh green salad were available.
To top it all off, the omelets
were amazing. Made to your
personal liking, your choice of
fillings include: mushrooms,
bacon, jalapenos, cheese, onions,
and pretty much anything else
you can think of. Next to the
omelet grill was the meat carving station - they offered prime
rib and pork roast ready to slice
and serve.
The BLVD's Sunday brunch
offers several different breakfast and lunch dishes, you'll be
sure not to go home hungry. The
service was outstanding and
the entire staff was attentive to
my needs with down to earth
friendly attitudes.
The nice thing about branching at The BLVD is it's not one of
those upscale brunches at the Four
Seasons that you have to dress up
for. You can actually wear jeans
and hang with yourfriendswatching sports while enjoying a delicious breakfast/lunch.
The BLVD Sunday brunch
costs $17.95 but students receive
$5 off with a student I.D. You
can't beat $12.95 for the endless food and champagne that
is served along with great service. I encourage everyone to
stumble out of bed after your
crazy Saturday night of f un and
try the BLVD's excellent champagne mimosa Sunday brunch.
All American Rejects
rock Westfield mall
BY BRYAN MASON
Pride Staff Writer
On Saturday Sept. 17, in the
parking lot of their Escondido
mall branch, Nordstrom's hosted
a live performance by The All
American Rejects.
The gathering crowd was
filled with die hard fans encouraging the band to grace the stage
with their dreadful new songs
and some more acceptable old
material.
The show lacked the a dvan-
tages of ProTools sound equipment, leaving the lead singer
desperate to hold notes he
couldn't have reached if he'd
sold his soul. Otherwise, the
band has a decent place in the
pop heart.
Despite seeming to conform to
Corporate America by playing
at a huge mall, they tried (and
failed) to retain a punk image.
With the terrible riffs of new
songs like "Dirty little Secret",
the band follows the trends, pandering to high school girls. Stick-
Image courtesy of Doghouse Records
ing to their roots and making the
album more about themselves
would have been a good way to
go, but oh well.
The show was mediocre
overall, but had ample volume.

l ittle'
musical
takes
stage
BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN
Pride Staff Writer
It was delightful to see Cal
State San Marcos welcome its
very own first full-length musical, "Little Shop of Horrors" to
its small Arts 111 stage this past
week. With a modest cast of 13
diversely talented members, the
production may have been smallscale, but it demonstrated much
heart and proves to have the ability to enhance the Visual and Performing Arts Department here at
Cal State San Marcos.
The musical, "Little Shop of
Horrors" is a dark satire, based
on a struggling urban flower shop
that rises to the top with the fame
of its resident, the exotic maneating plant. As the story grows,
so does the plant, becoming more
and more demanding of its appetite for human blood. "Little Shop
of Horrors" is an odd but extraordinary story, "filled with many
strange and unusual events "
This Cal State San Marcos rendition is original its own unique
ways. Much applause is given
to lead actress/director, Noelle
Marie Kerr for her powerful
vocals and her skilled craftsmanship in stage makeup. In addition
to the stage talent, the musical had
its own four-piece house band.
Yet another notable attribute
about this cast was their improvisation ability, that was highly
acclaimed by its audience.
"It was wickedly funny and
well performed. Even in the
midst of technical difficulties
when the character Audrey got
her microphone caught on a prop,
the cast quickly adapted to the
scene modification," said, Cassie
Johnson after the Sunday, September 11th performance.
Pumped full of quick-witted
humor, "Little Shop of Horrors"
was full of sarcasm and mockery.
Comedy kept the audience on its
toes adding elements of improvisation and personal style. From
the moment the lights dimmed,
the audience was well aware
that this production would be
anything but normal; "...please
keep all hands and arms inside
the auditorium..." This absurd
humor carried throughout the
production until the final scene
when a captive audience member
soon became the next helping of
plant-food.
If you missed this musical, you
clearly missed out on some great
entertainment for less than the
cost of lunch. The cast and crew
of "Little Shop of Horrors" are
all members of the CSUSM Take
Stage Ensemble; a theatrical
group of students, alumni, and
local musical theater performers.
Bravo to the "Little Shop of Horrors", a job well done.

THE PRIDE
Spice it u p
w ith P epper
BY HEATHER ZEMAN
Pride Staff Writer
"Why don't you have some dirty hot
sex with me?" To some of you this verse
from the popular Pepper song "Give It
Up" is all too familiar, but maybe a shock
to others. Let me tell you, after attending
Pepper's performance at the San Diego
House of Blues on Friday evening, it is
safe to say that the Pepper phenomenon
is growing.
I was first introduced to Pepper a few
years ago while living in Hawaii. The
boys that make up the band originated
from Kona, Hawaii. I was curious to find
out more about this band that was being
echoed through every surf shop from
downtown Waikiki to the North Shore.
With a Sublime-like edge, and catchy
lyrics, it wasn't long before Pepper made
waves not only in Hawaii but all across
the mainland as well.
I've followed Pepper's tour throughout
southern California over the past couple
years. They've played at various venues
such as Squid Joe's in Carlsbad and Canes'
Bar and Grill in Mission Bay. They had
previously been on tour with bands such
as Slightly Stoopid and have even made
appearances at the Vans Warped Tour and
San Diego's Street Scene.
Last night was a long show for Pepper.
Instead playing one show that night for
the traditional 21 and over crowd they
normally perform for, they played two
I shows in one night so that they could
reach the underage crowd as well. The
all ages show started at 6:30 p.m. and the
21 and over show began at 10:30 p.m. A
reggae band from Australia called The
Beautiful Girls opened up both shows of
the night for Pepper.
While I did witness some traditional
blunt passing at last night's show and the
typical drunk antics that go along with a
21 and up crowd, there was a whole new
episode I had not previously witnessed
at a Pepper show and that was the mosh
pits. Possibly due to the fact that Pepper
is now reaching a whole new type of fans
or maybe the fact that their newest CD "In
With the Old" featured a few songs with
hard rock. The whole idea of moshing at
a Pepper show caught me by surprise and
it persisted for most of the event. I even
witnessed a few people trying to crowd
surf, but it didn't last long.
All in all, Pepper put on a phenomenal
show. I was even more impressed by thé
fact that it was the second show of the
night and I wouldn't have been able to tell
the difference. They played for almost a
solid two hours. The venuefinallyclosed
down at about 1:30 a.m. Being their last
show in Southern California for some
time, I was stoked to be a part of it.
Pepper is currently heading to Phoenix, AZ and then they are making their
way to Australia with Unwritten Law. For
more information on Pepper's tour dates
and other information hit up their official
website at: www.pepperlive.com.

�Gage at mrar with himself
' Lord of W ar' movie review
BY ALFRED CHU
Pride Staff Writer
"Lord of War" chronicles the life of
Yuri Orlov (Nicolas Cage), a cocky international arms dealer with charm similar to
Frank Sinatra.
The movie begins when Orlov sold his
first Uzi. His notorious reputation begins
to rise with a constant chase by Interpol
agent Jack Valentine (Ethan Hawk). "Lord
of War" chronicles the life of this arms
dealer, including the money he made, his
wife (Bridget Moynahan) and his drug
induced younger brother Vitaly Orlov
(Jared Leto) and his eventual
capture.
Written
and
directed and by
AndrewNiccol,
the
movie
delivers an
i ntriguing
sense of
satire.
On
occasion, you can't help but to laugh, grin
or even be surprised by how the satire dictates itself. Yuri states he won't sell guns
to Bin Laden because his checks always
bounce. The trailer proudly displays a
voice over by Cage stating "Say what you
want about warlords and dictators, they
always pay their bills on time." Or after
his capture, Yuri still continues to do what
he does best and by the way, loves. And to
top it off, one of the closing captions state
five of the permanent countries in the U.N.
Security Council are also the biggest suppliers of guns throughout the world
Unfortunately, Niccol doesn't seem to
know how to develop his characters. Valentine, Fontaine,
scenes and sequences as if they were commercials. In the end, it wouldn't have mattered if they were in the movie or Yuri's
life at all. It's surprising to note this
because Niccol's reputation as a writer
("The Truman Show," "The Terminal") is
worthy but as a director is not as prominent as a writer.
A movie such as this always brings up,
directly or indirectly, the politics behind
it. In this case, it is international gun control.
V
"Lord ofWar" shows two sides of Orlov's
conflict. He desires to make a profit while
knowing that his product kills innocent
lives. With minimal character development, "Lord of War" displays this conflict
in a satiric outlook.
Nine Inch Neils
broken' but., to return
BY AMIRA EL-KHAOULI
Special to The Pride
What an unbelievable tease!
Everyone who went to the
Autolux/Queens of the Stone
Age/Nine Inch Nails (NIN) show
last Friday must have had such
mixed feelings of awe and disappointment. The show was cancelled half-way through NIN's
set and rescheduled for November 20.
How do I feel about this? Well,
the feeling is much like a premature ejaculation. I got a little bit
of a taste with the 20 or so minutes that NIN played and when
they had to stop, I was highly disappointed. But then again, there
is always next time.
First up was Autolux, a Los
Angeles trio consisting of singer/
bassist Eugene Goreshter, guitarist/vocalist Greg Edwards and
drummer/vocalist Carla Azar.
Adding Autolux to the line-up
instantly transformed the band
from playing at clubs to arenas.
You can be sure that when this
tour is over we will continue to
see much more from them, as
touring with NIN has added a
huge feather to their cap.
Next was Queens of the Stone
Age, an obvious crowd pleaser as
they played many of their latest
hits, including "Little Sister"
and "In My Head." The group
includes singer/guitarist Josh
Homme, drummer Alfredo Hernandez, bassist Nick Oliveri
and guitarist/keyboardist Dave
Catching.
I must note that Josh was quite
hilarious with his welcome commentary throughout the show.
He even picked on an audiencemember who flipped him off
during his set by saying that earlier he was sucking...well, I'm
sure you get the picture.
Although Queens of the Stone
Age put on a riveting performance opening for NIN the audience was getting antsy, wanting
Trent Reznor and the rest of NIN
to play as soon as possible.
For all those who do not know,
NIN currently consists of singer/
guitarist Michael Trent Reznor,
drummer Jerome Dillon, guitarist Robin Finck, keyboardist
James Wooley and bassist Danny
Lohner.
The crowd erupted as soon
Image courtesy of Interscope Records
as the slightest moving shadow
behind the see-through screen
remotely resembled the image of
Reznor. When the band started
playing they received an enthusiastic welcome. This was their
third show in San Diego this
summer alone.
NIN's appeal is partially the
emotion that they put into their
songs, even a song as sexual and
crass as "Closer," and partially
the antics that went on, which
displays their industrial roots.
An amp was knocked over,
a microphone stand was tossed
away like a rag doll, and Reznor
squirted the remnants of a water
bottle into the audience as he held
it near his crotch.
The concert came to an
unscheduled end when Dillon
was escorted away in an ambulance after he complained of
chest pains. What I wouldn't give
to be a patient at that hospital.

BY PATRICK B. LONG
Pride Staff Writer
With the loss of two students and a faculty
member in recent months many students
can use counseling services on campus.
Gilbert Rojas, a Cal State San Marcos
student, passed away after a fatal fall on
Aug. 30. In an article by the Union-Tribune
published Aug. 3, "[Rojas] was expected to
graduate in December."
Carolyn Neville, a transfer student from
Palomar, was murdered in her home in

Cal State San Marcos University plans
to open a new business building in the
spring of2006 with hopes of being able to
grow bigger and to be better as a school.
As soon as the building passes the Fire
Marshall Code it will be up and running
with the latest advances in school technology.
Cal State San Marcos' Associate
Director/Campus Architecture, Diane
Malone has been working on the business
building from the beginning. Malone
said, "This has been an on going project
that started back in 1999." Malone also
went on to talk about how the business
building was a product of the governor's
economic stimulus package of 2002.
This meant that the building was a state
funded project designed to stimulate the
states economic condition by bringing
more jobs, students and money to Cali-

The term Hispanic, as defined by the U.S.
Census Bureau, refers to Spanish-speaking people in the United States of any race.

United States as of July 1,2003 is 39.9 million making people of Hispanic origin the

National Hispanic Heritage
Month began in 1968 when
Congress deemed it to celebrate the contributions and
achievements of the diverse
cultures within the Hispanic
community. It originally
started as one short week from
Sept.15 and 16. The dates were
chosen to commemorate two
key historic events: Mexican
Independence Day, and the
signing act of Independence
for Costa Rica, El Salvador,
Guatemala, Honduras, and
Nicaragua. On Aug. 17, 1988,
the week long festivities were
extended into a month when
Congress approved the decision to do so. Now there are 31
days to celebrate diverse Latin
cultures, and one full day of
spirited activities at Cai State
San Marcos.

that, "1,311 classroom seats as

Citizens in every community continue to rise to the task
of counteracting the rising
costs of Hurricane Katrina,
and CSUSM is no different.
Resident fraternity TKE has
already managed to collect
over $2,000 in relief funds,
and the number is still growing.
"We organized a carwash,
but most of the money is
coming from direct donations
of Alumni and those with
family in Louisiana," said
Adrian Segalla of TKE.
"We're hoping to get the
entire Greek community into
organizing larger fundraising
events." Apparently people
have been more than willing to help out anyone who
asks, and anyone interested in
helping out, whether by donation of funds, goods, or time,

The auditorium classroom has
a Distance Conference capability which allows guest speakers an ability to lecture students
without ever having to step foot
in California. The new building
will also offer two new computer
labs. The computer labs feature
retractable computers, where
accessing a computer means the
computer will elevate out of the
desk for use and folds back up
inside the desk.

Jason Williams
BY JASON HOBBS
Pride Staff Writer
How do you define success?
Quite possibly a different way
than I do, but I'm going to go
ahead and try to explain why
Jason "Elm St." Williams is a success, and how he's just begun.
Williams is a senior at Cal State
San Marcos and will be graduating in the spring of2006 with his
Bachelors degree in Communications, and a minor in Sociology.
Not only does Williams already
have plans for himself after college, he began his career a long
time ago.
At 23 years old, Williams has
already sold approximately 3,000
of his professionally pressed CD
entitled "Tha Hurdlez" and several hundred mix-tapes.
Williams is currently preparing
to hit the studio sometime next
year and is planning on releasing two or three mix-tapes before
summer 2006 to help promote his
upcoming CD which should be
released during the summer of
2006.
Williams says he is already
looking for a reggae/rock/skafusion band to back him on a few
tracks and is "going for a different
sound and growing musically."
Williams overcomes adversities everyday. Like many others,
he does homework and attends
classes. But unlike many others,
Williams is currently in the midst
of potentially problematic legal
issues* and still finds time to sell
his CD and promote himself so
that he can further his career as a
musician and entertainer. "If you
believe in yourself, don't give
up!" said Williams.
"I'm going to pursue life;
pursue my destiny." says Williams.
After college, Williams is
going to pursue his music career
as Elm St. and plans on being a
substitute teacher part-time as
Jason Williams.
As far as Williams sees it, he
speaks the truth, but acknowledges that he does not know
everything. He wants to learn and
grow to become a better person.
As Elm St., Williams hopes to
inspire with his lyrics and hopes
to teach the world something
different through his music, "It
seems in this race of life, no man
is winning, because death isn't an
ending, it is truly the beginning
of living. A way for all human
kind to start winning.",
As a philosopher, Williams
hopes to inspire as well explaining, "People think that only one
man can change the world, but
everyone can help change the
world."
Williams aims high, he has
apparently turned down a record
deal in the six figure range, and
he's not going to sign until he
gets a seven figure deal offer.
But it's not just about the signing
bonus, Williams says, "It's really
Image courtesy of Jason Williams
about the right business deal.
The music industry will get you
famous before it gets you rich.
I'm not going to go multi-plati-
num and be broke."
Williams is readily available to
discuss how to purchase his CD
for only $10.

The Dome Café, located on
the bottom floor of the Commons
Building, is newly refurbished
and is ready to serve.
The Dome Café received money
over the summer for the purpose
of renovation and revitalization.
Christopher Wood, food service
manager, took the opportunity to
make some changes he thought
would appeal to students, staff
and faculty. In the end, Wood
refurbished the whole look of the
Dome café by adding different
themes and styles.
With the new themes and
menu items, students have many
choices. DW, the salad bar, has
a new look while offering'fresh
vegetables, dressings^ and toppings for a fresh green salad.
Another choice is The Grill.
The Grill displays an industrial
stainless steel theme with firedup grills ready to cook food as
it's ordered. At The Grill cougars may order hamburgers, tuna
melts, grill cheese sandwiches,
and BLT's.
"The Pizza wall color, which is

�Jock talk with Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
SWIM INSTRUCTORS!!!
Well, sports fans I am back.
Wow, things sure have changed
since I have been gone. As you
might remember I left The Pride
and my sports column because of
a lack of time and because I didn't
like the direction the paper was
going. None of us figured that the
sports section would disappear if
I left. Granted, the editors tried
to find a replacement for me but
after two articles that experiment
was done and so was the sports
section.
Apparently I had the foresight
to see things were going to get
ugly. An embarrassing timeline
of events didn't exactly put the
paper in the best light, such as the
paper getting into an argument
with athletic director Dr. Stephen
Nichols. Also, having the University find out that one of the editor's in chief was trying to push
her own agenda wasn't exactly a
good thing.
All of that is in the past now and
I am looking forward to working
with the new editor in chief, Patrick B. Long and the new advisor Dr. Anthony Hurst. Having
an editor in chief who actually
wants to have a sports section
makes me believe that there will
be great improvement in this section over the semester. Having
one person take over the role that
has been filled by tjyo people for
F REE

quite some time will be a bit of a
change, but one that I think will
benefit everyone. Dr. Hurst is the
new advisor for the paper and he
will have some big shoes to fill
as he replaces Jenifer Woodring,
who was regarded highly by
many on the staff. However, if
anyone can fill the position, I am
sure Dr. Hurst can. It also doesn't
hurt him in my book that he is a
big sports fan.
In past semesters, for those
of you that are new to CSUSM,
I gave my opinion on various
occurrences in national and
local professional sports. I also
reviewed sports movies, books,
and TV shows. I will still discuss national topics but expect
some articles thrown in every
now and then regarding campus
athletics. With the passing of the
new athletic fee there will be a
huge development in the athletic
F IVE
department over the next couple
of years and that deserves more
coverage from this newspaper
and from me.
Now this is where you readers are crucial. The two previous
semesters that I did this column
there were very few of you that
actually gave me feedback on
what you wanted to read about. It
really wasn't until I left the paper
that I realized so many people
actually read this column. I figured this was just a space filler
so I wrote a lot of my previous
articles for me and what I thought
was newsworthy. I want things to
change so if you think something
is important don't hesitate to Email me at sando026@csusm.
edu. When you see me around
campus don't be afraid to stop me
and tell me your opinion. I may
look scary but I won't bite.

BY TRACEY M. TURNER
Pride Staff Writer
Well, after all, jungle music was
born in England and the Brits continue to produce first-rate music
and put on a show like no other.
The DJs in the jungle room were
some awesome that I was reluctant to leave the area for any
reason. From 6p.m. to 7p.m., Tech
Itch, a DJ from England, started
my night off smashingly, tearing
up the turntables and forcing me
and the expansive room full of my
fellow 'junglists' (as drum and
bass fans are commonly known),
to dance our booties off.
After a brief interlude, I tried
out the exhilarating bungee trampoline jump stationed outside, I
returned to the action and caught
the UK's own DJ High Contrast
in an amazing performance that
surpassed all my preconceived
expectations.
From 9p.m. to 10p.m., UK DJ
Pendulum ripped it up on the
decks and blew me away with his
energetic set. One trip around the
promotional booths, merchandise
tables, and food stands, and 3
purchased t-shirts later, I dashed
back to NOS's Damus building
(a warehouse like structure) just
in time for a triple threat of the
UK's (where else?) Grooverider,
the larger-than-life Roni Size,
and finally the explosive Andy

bracing assault of rolling drum
rhythms and pounding bass beats
with MC GQ on the mic (that's
microphone to you squares!)
until 2a.m..
The shared enthusiasm of the
fans, artists, and promoters lent
an aura of enthusiasm to the whole
affair and so went the 'junglistic
fever' at the 11th Annual Nocturnal Wonderland, presented by the
insanely popular Southern California-based promoters Insomniac Events. For information on
upcoming events from Insomniac Events, visit www.insomniacevents.com.

Fundraisers on campus to help Katrina victims
BY AMIRA EL-KHAOULI
Special to The Pride
A memorial service will be held
on Sept. 10 for Dr. Kevin Igasaki,
the late director of the Cal State
San Marcos Language Learning
Center. The memorial will be held
at the University of San Diego.
Igasaki passed away on the
night of Aug. 10, 2005, in San
Diego County. Igasaki is survived by his wife Cahterinie Bellier-Igasaki and his two children.
Igasaki first came to Cal State
San Marcos in 1996; when he
transferred here from CSU Long
Beach. Igasaki began as a technician in the Language Lab, but
worked very hard and became the
director of the Language Learning Center and campus foreign
language proficiency assessor.
According to a recent campuswide email from the Communications Office, Patricica E. Worden,
interim vice president of Student
Affairs said: "Kevin was a true
leader on campus. ... To faculty,
staff and administrators, Kevin
was a highly respected colleague.
He was an innovative thinker;
considered a valuable member on
campus committees because of his
ability to see the 'big picture.'"
Igasaki served on several
campus committees, including

Katrina's devastating results left many
news viewers with feelings of hopelessness in their ability to help the victims. In
efforts to help Cougars do their part, ASI
is spearheading events toofinanciallyhelp
the displaced survivors through fundraising for The Red Cross.
"The Red Cross response to Hurricane
Katrina is the largest response to a single,
natural disaster in the 125-year history of
the organization," stated the American Red
Cross website.
According to the CNN website on Saturday Sept. 3, 2005, there were, "30,000
evacuees who have been stranded there
for days amid mounds of trash and human
waste." Since the hurricane hit thè Gulf

Crittenden was on campus Sept. 1 as
part of College Survivor Night at the
Clarke Field House. In his speech titled
"Discover the Will to Survive," Crittenden
shared lessons learned from overcoming
obstacles in his life.
A crowd of approximately 40 people
gathered as Crittenden drew parallels
between surviving college and surviving
the CBS reality show. In both instances

are also many friends to be made, he said.
"I made some really good friends when I
was there on the islands," Crittenden said,
adding that at college there are daily challenges to be faced, whether it is a "reward
challenge" or waking up to an alarm early
and getting a good parking spot.

In the summer after his seventh year of

it was just a cyst. After a while, he got it
checked by doctors who diagnosed the
lump as a malignant tumor from a rare

To the uninitiated or unobservant student, this may come as a shock:
The library is new.

Originallyfinishedin Jan. 2004, the Kellogg Library replaced facilities occupying
only a portion of Craven Hall. But in addition to providing more computers to initially kill time and subsequently save the
last minute, Kellogg Library has recently
extended its hours. This came as a result
of student and faculty input, so don't hesitate to share your comments and concerns
with the staff.
Melanie Chu, Outreach/Multicultural
Librarian, even took the time to talk with
Pride about other helpful additions fo the

The desk, to the right of the main doors
of the third (Starbucks) floor, is hard to

Optimism/
Viewing the world from two different perspectives
BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM
Pride Staff Writer
BY MELISSA BLAIRD
Pride Staff Writer
Do you see the glass as half empty or half
full? Although it's become a cliché expression, this question contains a lot of truth
when it comes to the idea of being optimistic - an idea that can be successfully put
into practice with the start of anew semester at CSUSM.
As a recovering pessimist, I know what
it is to doubt everything; and even enjoy
doing it, but optimism holds so much more
success for those who master it. Just look
at the famous athletes who have used their
optimism to help them excel. Where would
Lance Armstrong be if he hadn't been optimistic and fought his way back from lifethreatening cancer to win multiple consecutive Tour-De-France titles?
Here at CSUSM, there are numerous ways
you can turn a pessimistic perspective into
an optimistic one and have similar success
in your life - albeit on a much smaller scale.
To some people optimism obviously comes
easily (the type of people you either love or
hate) yet for the rest of us being optimistic
takes a little practice. Simply be patient, take
time doing your daily tasks so you can stand
back and look at the positive side of things and
thus work toward them.
For example, instead of complaining about
having to climb the million plus steps at San
Marcos between classes, think about all the
exercise you'll get wandering across CSUSM in
the late summer sun.
When stuck in a class you don't like and didn't
want to take, instead of being a pessimist about it,
be optimistic about the class and watch your interest and success surrounding the class grow.
Simply looking at things in a different perspective
can make all the difference in the world: don't every
let yourself believe that you are going to fail, instead
believe that nothing can stop you from meeting your
goals and succeeding. Start your new semester at
CSUSM as an optimist instead of a pessimist and
watch success follow you wherever you go.
Arguing for pessimism is like arguing for infidelity or gluttony or indecent exposure. The alternatives
of each seem so much more respectable that society
fails to consider the allure of deviating from what is
considered 'good' behavior.
Pessimism is just another defense mechanism.
Some people drown a bad day with alcohol; Some
go to movies to watch other people live life instead of
living their own. The pessimist simply expects every
day to be bad, making the bad easier to bear when it
comes.
It is easier to deal with death if the deceased is ill for
a long time beforehand. It's easier because the death
is expected. Pessimism is like an illness. It prepares
you for the worst possible scenario. The pessimist is not
taken aback by tragedy. Rather, he waits for it with calm
certainty because it is inevitable.
When a healthy person is suddenly flattened by a car
while crossing the street, enjoying nature, the death is
much harder to deal with. It is harder because the tragedy
is unexpected. Optimism is like health. You feel well so
you forget it is a transient feeling. Then when something
unfortunate happens, it is horribly shocking.
Schopenhauer said if we compared the pleasure felt by
one animal eating another to the pain felt by the animal
being eaten, we would see that pain completely outweighed
pleasure in life. He used this analogy to defend pessimism
as most logical.
Hemingway was a pessimist. He tried to end his life many
times, one of which involved an attempt to run into cycling jet
propellers. Sylvia Plath felt life wasn't worth waking up for
and stuck her head into an oven. Virginia Woolf piled rocks
into her pocket and drowned herself in a lake, deciding no experiences in life were as exciting as the experience of death.
The trend is that hopelessly depressed attitudes breed great literature. Without the author's dreary outlook, a lot of books would *
not have achieved their depth and success.
Of course, cheery, positive attitudes breed literature'too. They
breed Doctor Phil's advice books and teenage magazines. If false
hope and shallow happiness are what you want, then hurray for optimism.
We are told it is best to see the glass as half full. But when it's
viewed as half empty, it seems there is less to knock over and spill on
your crotch.
Nihilism protects you from disappointment. Idealism sets you up for it.

E ditorial f rom the e ditor-in-chief
The past week has proven
tougher than the first. With
classes started, I found myself
compoundedwithbothhomework
and these new editor responsibilities. I do not know how the previous editors did it.
Looking back at the first issue,
I realize many mistakes. I will
let you spot them if you still
have a copy rather than embar-
rass myself with the long detailed
list, and I am working on fixing
repetitive mistake for the future
(tip's).
I will still count on readers to
bring forth problems, ideas or
concerns they may have, not only
about the newspaper but also of
the school. I was looking forward
to posting letters to the editor
in the paper this week, alas I
received none. I have heard many
verbal remarks made about the
first issue, mostly good. Many
cougars where surprised to find
out that we put out an issue on
the first week and congratulated
us on a job well done, still no letters. I heard one remark about
the staff being Gestapo, but that
person still did not write it down
for us to print.
The great usefulness of letters
to the editor is the impact it has
on the writers and content of the
paper. Granted we have had suggestions that we do not follow
MLA, we follow AP. Another
concern was our lack of covering off campus news stories. We
try not to compete with the large
newspapers, even though they
now have stands here on campus.
Our goal is to write about this
campus. Stories will contain elements that link it back to Cal
State San Marcos.
With this open request hotline,
students, staff and faculty can
give their input to the building of
this great media.

Entertaiment in the Clarke Fieldhouse
BY JASON HOBBS
Pride Staff Writer
It was recently said to me that
there were no places on Cal State
San Marcos' campus to host a
small concert or a boxing match
within closed walls. After a little
investigation I found several
adequate venues for both small
concerts and for boxing matches.
The Clarke Field House for
instance would be fine to host a
series of small concerts featuring unsigned and/or local musicians. It may even fit a boxing
match. The new study center at
the top of the library would fit
both a boxing match and a small
concert as well. I don't know that
that would be allowed, but it's a
possibility.
After visiting Casino Night at
two different times (6:30pm and
8:15pm), I became concerned that
our student body was not interested in the events the campus has
to offer. Although I did not attend
the entire Casino Night event, the
two times I dropped by, I saw
the same amount of people at the
game tables; what seemed to be
about 25 people (not including
the dealers or the volunteers).
Perhaps instead of assuming
what the student body wants or
needs as far as fun and entertainment on campus, there
should be a vote determined by
a simple majority rule for a variety of events ASI organizes. Perhaps then there would be bigger
crowds than the approximate 25
people that showed up to Casino
Night and the approximate 40
people that showed up to "College Survivor Night" where a
celebrity from one of the most
popular television shows of all
time was speaking.
There could be a variety of reasons why the first two events of
the semester weren't very popular. One may be that the ASI
Calendar of Events hand-out
listed Casino Night beginning
at 6pm and another schedule of
events posted by the ASI offices
listed the event time as beginning
at 8pm. It's quite possible that
newer students like myself, did
not know the difference (if any)
between the Grand Salon and the
Clarke Field House either. Casino
Night took place at the Clarke
Field House but again there was
a difference between the big
orange calendar of events posted
by the ASI offices and the small
yellow hand-outs. One read that
Casino Night would take place
at the Grand Salon and the other
read that Casino Night would take
place at the Clarke Field House.
Unfortunately of the two potential venues for the night, only the
Clarke Field House is listed on
the big maps found throughout
campus.
Perhaps not all of the students
will enjoy live concerts on Friday
or Saturday nights. Perhaps not
all students will enjoy a live
boxing event on campus either.
But so far it seems that only
about 70 students have enjoyed
(or at least attended) the first two
campus events of the semester,
and with that short track record
it might be worthwhile to the
students to try some new ideas
before it's too late.

Top f ive back to school must haves
BY BRYAN MASON
Pride Staff Writer
It's that time of year again; time
to pack up all your stuff and head
back to school. Unfortunately
summer is ending, fortunately
for us; the season to by back to
school gear never ends. This is it,
the top 5 list of must haves for the
new school year.
1. ¡Book - Apples new line of
personal notebooks. The New
iBook is stronger, faster, and more
capable than ever. With built in
wireless Internet, and Bluetooth
technology, these notebooks can
pack a wallop in or outside of the
classroom. Read along with the
class as you look up the teacher's
notes online wirelessly, or just
kick back and work with many
of the functions available on one
of the best consumer laptops
around. Either way, there will be
no regrets with the purchase of
this machine.
2. Cougar Cards - Ever found
yourself strapped for cash, but in
dire need of a quick snack, scantron, or some lunch in between
classes? If so, grab a Cougar
Card, you can purchase them
anywhere and save them for
whenever they are needed. They
are usable in the dome, and other
various places around campus.
Just select the amount of money
you want on the card, and they
will do it for you. The Cougar
Card is a gift card for students,
not exactly the gift that keeps on
giving, but it does its job well.
3. iPod - This already popular
Mp3 player is a great way to kick
back and listen to your favorite
tunes in between classes, or just
waltzing around the dorm room.
With a size of 20 or 60 gigabytes
it is the perfect addition for the
somewhat musically challenged
and all the way up to the maestro
of music.
4. Treo 650 Smart phone
- This is a new one for a lot of
people. A sophisticated blend of
phone and function if you will.
The Treo 650 Smart phone combines a handheld PDA with all
the applications of today's top
cell phone. Be it for calling home,
or organizing your class schedules with due dates, and assignment notes, everything is at your
fingertips willing and waiting for
you to push the limits of technology.
5. Sony CD Dream Machine
- Last but not least, is an alarm
clock. The Dream Machine not
only saves you from being late
for class, but also plays your
favorite music with it's built in
CD player, all of which is personally programmable to adjust
to your schedule. Adding some
tunes to the morning routine
can even help boost your eagerness for class...at least for some
people.
Short and sweet, but defiantly
essential, all of these things can
help you to achieve the goals of
academia, but also blow off some
steam and help yourself recooperate over the weekends. It's always
a plus having technology on your
side, and with these top five gadgets you can't go wrong.

Local band, Stranger, plays at House of Blues San Diego
Stranger stole the show with one of the
most phenomenal live performances I've
ever seen/heard. Stranger's energy was
certainly unsurpassed by all the other
bands that shared the stage with them on
Aug. 28,2005, at the new House of Blues
(HOB) in San Diego, CA.
It was a surprise after watching all
of the bands perform that night that
Stranger was the opening act. With the
amount of fans they had there before the
show even began, it seems apparent that
they could headline their own show at
San Diego's HOB.
Stranger opened the show with a
mostly instrumental, but very melodic
song, and then thanked the ecstatic
crowd for coming out to enjoy the show,
just before beginning a non-stop 40 minutes of energetic and powerful music.
Stranger performed a medley of what
•SillPiPPÄliiBS

Pride Staff Writer
Tuesday, September 6, 2005
seemed to be about 10 full songs. Every
song transitioned into the next in such a
fluid manner that there was no notice of
any errors or delays.
The final song of the medley featured nearly an entire disbandment and
reemergence of the band, bound together
by the steady beat of the drummer. After
the band reemergence, and the end of
the medley, the lead singer thanked the
very enthusiastic audience one more
time for coming out to the show to enjoy
their music and received a very warm
and almost overwhelmingly energetic
response from the audience. Then it was
announced by the lead singer that they
would do one more song.
Stranger ended the show with a brand
new song that had the creativity and style
that had me humming the song during
the intermission. After Stranger's set,
the crowd finally began to move over to
the bar and the bathroom. Although San
Diego's HOB is not that big and no matter
where you stood (even in the bathroom)
you could hear the music, no one seemed
to want to stop watching Stranger's energetic set.
The show was not over after Stranger's
set, but you might not have known that if
you were standing outside watching all
of the people leave.

Death Cab For
Cutie reveals
their "Plans"
BY BRIAN MASON
Pride Staff Writer
On Tuesday August 30, Death Cab For
Cutie unleashed their long awaited followup to "Transatlanticism." Pushing the band
into a new direction of mixed genres and
collaborative thinking, "Plans" envelops
the reflective stylings of bands such as The
Album Leaf, and the late Elliott Smith.
Death Cab for Cutie strongly utilizes the
technique of slow, strung out piano with
the soft and elegant notes of an acoustic
guitar, adding to the CD's overall aura.
The first single off the CD "Soul Meets
Body" brings back the feeling of "The
Photo Album" LP, and softens it, giving
listeners a feel for the band's progression
into a new sound.
Almost taking a page from Elliott
Smith's own figurative songbook is "I will
follow you into the dark." With their own
spin put into the song, Ben Gibbard quietly
serenades us on a journey of love, filled
with the unexpected twists and turns along
the way. Gibbard sings "If Heaven and
Hell decide that they both are satisfied, and
illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs,
Photo courtesy ofwww.deathcabforcutie.com
if there's no one beside you, when your
soul embarks, then I will follow you into
the dark." A simplistic yet morbid chorus
makes the song powerful, yet serine at the
same time.
Produced by guitarist Chris Walla,
"Plans" really makes its mark with the song
. "Brother's on a Hotel Bed." The beginning
of the song is especially like The Album
Leaf, but when Gibbard's voice projects
over the front of the piano, and acoustic
drum set, we are reminded that "Plans" is
defiantly something new.
Ifyou are interested in anything remotely
good these days, you will defiantly need to
check out this CD. It pulls together and
intertwines some of Gibbard's most pressing issues, relating them in a way that only
Death Cab for Cutie can bring us. Look for
them on tour this fall, and for more information you can visit www.deathcabforcutie.com.

implemented prior to the incidents
leading up to the task force, the police
department wants to "reach out to the

Miller of Cal State San Marcos Police
Department.
The course, titled Citizen's Academy,
will be held over four days and offer several courses on police work. Every officer will teach a course in their area of
expertise. The classes will heip educate
the campus community on police procedures.
The courses include several hot
topics on campus, including what is a

Other courses include what it takes
to be a cop, terrorism awareness, crime
scene techniques, and narcotics recognition. The crime scene techniques
are expected to be a fun class with students learning how to lift fingerprints
and acquire D.N.A. samples. Specialty
classes like terrorism awareness and
D.N.A. will implement the use of outside expertise.
"We want to help our community
become partners in fighting crime on
campus," said Miller on why these
classes are essential for people to attend.
"We are looking for a diverse group of
people to make up the class," said Miller.
The class will hold up-to 30 people, and
they are hoping for members of faculty,
staff, and students.
The training will run from Oct. 25
until Nov. 15 and will include about
eight hours of training.

A letter from the editor is not
a common occurrence for The

a good time to introduce myself
as the new editor-in-chief. The
decision was made last school
year to combine the co-editors
positions into one giving me the
opportunity to give the readers
the best paper The Pride staff can
produce.
With the new semester starting,
the journalism class has no advisor hired and only three people on
staff trying to put this first paper,
so please be kind while critiquing it. I have my work cut out for
me building an almost entire new
staff of writers from scratch. Here
is where I would like to shamelessly plug the golden opportunities awaiting any lucky student
who would like to join the newspaper team and make history this
semester by writing gems for the
campus to read. With hard work,
late nights and little pay, your
name can be in print.

�Cougars have a bright future ahead
BY PATRICK B. LONG
Pride Staff Writer
With the passing of the athletic referendum
last semester, sports programs at Cal State
San Marcos have a bright future ahead of it.
With new increased funding supported by
the students, current programs will remain
and new teams will be formed to give Cougars a lot to cheer for.
We would really like to thank the students for passing the referendum," said Stephen Nichols, Cal Sate San Marcos' athletic
director.
This year, the Cougars will be returning
with men's and women's golf, cross country,

and track and field. With the new funding,
the new teams will include women's softball, men's baseball and men's and women's
soccer.
"Women's golf is looking good this year,"
said Nichols. Last semester ended well for
the Cougar teams, with the women's golf
team reaching the top five of the national
championship of NAIA.
Kenny Adams finished in third place at
the nationals for men's golf as a freshman.
Track and Field will see the return of top
ranking athlete Ann Marie Byrne and their
chance to win the championship.
The current sports are not deemed as
spectator sports but the new teams will give
a place for Cougars to go and cheer on their
teams. The new teams will be in the NAIA
league and will start as soon as fall 2006
beginning with soccer. In spring 2007, the
baseball and softball teams will be introduced.
"Currently we are looking for coaches,"
said Nichols. When they are hired, the
coaches will be introduced to Cal State San
Marcos in an open forum.
The soccer team will play track's center
field, while the plans are in thé works for the
home of the baseball and softball teams.
The intercollegiate sports are not the only
activities offered for students. The Associated Student Incorporated (ASI) offers
intramural sports, where students can sign
up on teams to play each other. In the „past
such sports as baseball and dodge ball have
been offered.

-Why thejoji
market sucks
An examination of a graduate's
search to find his or her place
in the world comes down to a
simple comparison of what education meant in the past and what
it means in today's job market.
When I graduated from college, I had eight years of work
experience with six of those years
as a manager. When I applied for
white-collar professional jobs, I
did not land them. When I applied
for blue-collar work, similar to
the work I had done before, I did
not get those jobs either. I was
in strange place for sure since I
could not reason out in my head
what I was lacking. Mixing my
age - 29 now, 27 when I began
my career search - and my experience as a supervisor/manager
in the blue-collar/service industry put me in the unique position of being both overeducated
and pver-experienced. That is a
hard little pill to swallow when
I thought I had done everything
right in terms of work and education.
The fact is this is not our parents' education; it is not our parents' world. Simply put there i s
no reward for your education in
terms of a career being handed to
you after graduation.
It seems to me that the argument
used to convince middle and high
school students to go to college
was the possibility of landing a
high-paying job as reward for your
commitment to education. That
argument is dead - post-graduation life is not about your reward, it
is about what you

can do for a prospective employer.
If, as in my case, you present yourself as a blue-collar worker with a
history degree, then there is not a
lot of appeal to employers on the
professional end of the work spectrum, at least the beginning.
That being said, there are no
regrets in pursuing higher education. Quite the contrary since I
plan to return for a M. A. in history
as soon as the program becomes
a reality at Cal State San Marcos
(remember the part about delaying the big student loan payback).
A history degree will take you in
strange directions as you work
on it - take it from me, nervous
breakdowns and strange realizations come fast and often when
undermining the foundations of
your knowledge. All that said, I
don't think I would have picked a
different major if the opportunity
was presented to me; it is worth
it now and I am sure it will be
worth it in the long run.
Holding the line
For me, the 18-month frenzy
ended when I landed a copy editing/page designer position with a
local newspaper, albeit only part
time. But the opportunity to be
on a staff working in newsroom
is its own reward - the newspaper industry is truly a foot-in-the
door line of work. • : •:

While the Del Mar Fair, Gay Pride

the search for full-time work. For
someone trying to break in the
business of news writing, freelancing is a good way to pad your
portfolio along with getting some
money for your work as well. The
downside to freelancing is it is
hard to make a living at it especially in San Diego County.
Another help, from what I hear,
are internships. Although I never
did an internship, I know of one
former Pride staffer who landed
a job right after graduation after
completing two internships in
one semester. I understand that
internships are a lot of hard work
with little or no compensation,
however, but I think the value of
internships is immense.
Others I know have moved away
all together tofindwork. I hear that
is a good move if you can stand
being away from San Diego.
Failing everything else, holding
the line with meantime job, like
plumbing.which I did, pays the
bills and puts the mind at ease.
I do not want to come across as
negative about the entire experience
offinishingcollege and looking for
a job. I, more or less, want to offer
a reality check for students coming
in or checking out this year. There
is nothing to replace the education
I received at Cal State San Marcos.
Looking toward the future, the postgrad life seemstobe on the rise.
It is that first* few months, years,
whatever time it takes t o : endure
the rough waters and cutyour teeth
in the real world that will test your
mental and physical endurance.
Stick with it, you will better for it.

Heath Ledger (left) and Matt Damon (right) played the roles of brothers Jake and Will Grimm.
BY PATRICK B. LONG
Pride Staff Writer
Terry Gilliam returns to the director's chair
since "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" to
guide Matt Damon and Heath Ledger as "The
Brothers Grimm." Even with some classic Gilliamfisheye camera shots and obscure characters, the story falls short of good.
"The Brothers Grimm" brings to life the
famous brothers who wrote classic fairytales
in the early 20th century. The movie portrays
the two in a newfictitiousstory as two con-artists meandering from town to town in French

" American
occupied Germany, excising fabricated ghosts,
witches, and demons. When called upon by the
French government, the brothers are forced
to deal with an actual enchanted forest and
curse.
The plot cleverly alludes to some of their
most famous fairytales, including "Little Red
Riding Hood," "Rapunzel," "Cinderella" and
"Hansel and Gretel."
The trouble with the plot is its inability to
combine them into a good plot. The writing
seems choppy and the dialogue forced. Even
Gilliam has trouble creating the illusion that
Damon is a good actor. I felt as if I was watching Matt Damon's doppelganger from "Team
America: World Policy."
Positive elements do occur in "The Brothers Grimm," including the special effects. The
introduction of fairytale characters comes at
a price. Gilliam is well known for going over
budget for his movies, and it appears he spent
the movie on great computer graphics. The set
design was excellent and has always been an
intriguing element of Gilliam's work.
Overall, the movie feels like small skits of
bad acting combined to make a movie. The
story is stuck somewhere in space never finding
a home in the region of comedy, action, or even
horror. Some scenes left me confused whether
to jump or laugh. This misdirection adds some
confusion to the plot and who the movie is
geared for. The combination of classic figures
in literature is not new either. Recently it was
tried in "League or Extraordinary Gentlemen"
and "Van Helsing." It was a nice attempt but
not worthy of the silver screen.
