Domanic Thomas, the ASI coordinatorforcampus recreation and Sara Gallegos, the ASI coordinator of student activities, and seven CSUSM students will be traveling to New Orleans during the upcoming Spring- Break to assist with the destruction created by Hurricane Katrina, / Hurricane Katrina " formed in late August durin^^flie 2005 Atlantic Hurricane Season. Katrina mainly affected the Gulf Coast states of Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi; the hurricane also created an estimated damage of $81.2 billion and took the lives of 1,836 people. Controversy started after people became enraged at federal, state, and local governments' reactions to the aftermath of the hurricane. Kanye West responded on a news program with "George Bush does not care about black people." The former director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Michael Brown, resigned shortly thereafter, stating it was for "The best interest of the agency and best interest of the president." Over one year has passed, and yet the damage inflicted by the hurricane has not fully been repaired. Gallegos said, "This year we will be taking a group of seven students to New Orleans to work with Habitat for Humanity Collegiate Challenge.

Established in 1988 by the World Health Organization, World AIDS Day serves to acknowledge the devastating impact of AIDS around the world. On December 1st, CSUSM students and members of the community participated in a candlelight vigil where participants walked from Chavez Circle to Library Plaza where they listened to speakers whose own lives have been impacted by AIDS.

XVI NO. 15 ASIST mentors lend a hand to first generation college students BY PAMELA CASTILLO Pride Staff Writer According to the National Center for Education Statistics, "first-generation college students r un the highest risk of dropping out of college." Luckily though, there is group at CSUSM named ASIST comprised of first-generation college students and alumni that aims at changing that statistic. Founders of ASIST formed the group to help first-generation students achieve their aspirations of attending college. Historically, high school students who do not have at least one parent with a higher education are faced with much greater difficulties when trying to make the transition from high school to the university. ASIST is a community service group that began five years ago from a simple conversation between several first generation students discussing their own difficulties with the educational system. ASIST reaches out to local high school students as mentors. It works as a big brother and big sister program that specifically helps high school students make the transition to college. The mentors of this group lend a helping hand to local high school students by making themselves available to answer any questions about college. Simultaneously, they attempt to gain the support of the student's family. The mentors share their own struggles with their college experience as they make the idea of transferring to college a less intimidating one and transform it into the idea that college is an experience of a lifetime.

Program Director Judy Papenhausen, and Registered Nurse JoAnn Daugherty along with nursing advisor Laurie Lindeneau were among many who welcomed the 43 students who make up the Spring 2007 nursing cohort. Less than 50 students have gone before them. By the means of providing care, coordinating care, teaching, and advocating, the nursing program stresses the traditional concepts of nursing, including health, person and environment. Since the program's initial beginning, CSUSM has thus far achieved a goal they will continually strive to accomplish. The program's goal is to recruit a student population which is representative of the ethnic and cul- tural diversity in the local community and to prepare students to serve the nursing needs of our culturally diverse society. During the orientation, Daugherty informed students on clinical lab requirements such as course prerequisites, heather blue scrubs, student drug screens, and nursing identification tags. She also encouraged students to join the CSUSM chapter of the National Student Nurses' Association. All nursing students are required to take an introductory course where their professors will place a strong emphasis on how See NURSING, page 2 �THE (^JPRIDE T V CIr KÌ* ¡T; HIÏM V SN MIÇi v « AT" NAÌ AI NVUl A ÂÔr f D ITORÌAL STAFF EDITOR: ÌN QHIEF DAVID GARTIY ,BUSINESS MANAGER JASON ENCABO LAYOUT EDITOR MARY FOIEY HEWS EDITOR KELLY CORRIGAN FEATURES EDITOR DAVID BAUER ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR SOPHIE BRINK ONLINE EDITOR & DISTRIBUTION MANAGER AMANDA ANDREEN ADVISOR JÓAN ANDERSON ..

Habitat for Humanity states seven reasons why students should participate in the Collegiate Challenge. The seven reasons are: to improve leadership skills, develop and strengthen friendships, see the impact the work is having on communities, learn more about poverty housing issues and how one can help, visit new areas of the country, a ffect a global cause by advocating on behalf of poverty housing issues, and help provide a simple, decent, affordable place to live for people in need. "We will be staying at Camp Hope," said Gallegos, "which is the volunteer camp. There will be other volunteer groups f rom around the country there the same time we will be there so it will be a great opportunity for our students to interact with others that share a common goal. Also we won't j ust be working the whole time; we plan f un activities for the evenings so that the students have a well-rounded trip," she explained. Students who wish to participate in ASI's Alternative Spring Break must fill out an application. The application consists of required basic information, a community service resume, and a two-page essay of intent. The application can be found on the ASI website and must be completed by January 15, 200Z Applications can be emailed to dthomas@csusm.edu or dropped o ff at ASI at Commons 207. A $50 deposit must b e given to ASI by January 29,2007. A remaining balance of $200 must be given to ASI by March 9, 2007.

They asked freshmen students in GE Oral Communication classes about the CSUSM Alumni Association; 50 freshmen completed the survey. Group members Michael Wu, Sandi Fouts, Misty Sharkey, Kristen Boggs and Amanda Perez worked together on the project from the Communications 310 class. Out of 42 students who answered the question of whether they would be interested in a student alumni association, 30 of them marked ' yes; When asked why they would be interested in the association, most replied that they would like to be a part of social activities or campus events. Out of 48 students, 36 of them didn't know what an Alumni Association was, but 31 of them marked 'yes' when asked if staying connected after they graduated was important to them. As an alum, most surveyed believed that reconnecting with former classmates and professors was important, more important than receiving special discounts and services. Interim Director of Alumni and Parent Relations, James Richardson, and the Alumni Association are working together to increase the ties between Alumni and students. "With respect to the students who said he/she did not know what an alumni association is, but who said staying connected to CSUSM after graduation is important, this is consistent with the history of CSUSM which is built on relationships at the degree program level. The challenge is to make the alumni association an additional interface between the campus and alumni after leaving the university. Before that, however, the alumni association will be taking steps to increase its presence on campus and is being encouraged to make visible 'investments' in the lives of the students. For example, last spring the association funded new banners for a number of student organizations. Each spring it participates in Grad Fest. It has for several years awarded scholarships as well." All group members were initially surprised by the results of the survey. Wu said, "I was quite surprised to see the number of responses from the-survey. I thought more students would reply since there were 600 GEO students. But Jim [Richardson] and the rest of my group took this experience as a stepping stone to f urther improve upon the survey and the number of f uture responses. I hope that Jim will be able to take this experience and implement it in the future with greater response." Having transferred to CSUSM from the University of Utah, Fouts said, "To form and maintain a stronger bond between alumni and CSUSM students, the administration needs to find a way to connect the students to this school, through athletic programs or campus clubs and student-faculty relationships i.e. mentoring, etc." Group member Perez said, "What I think the school can do to bridge the gap between alumni and CSUSM students is to offer information to students who are transferring as well as entering freshman, so that way we don't have to go out and find information, because we really don't know what this school has to offer to us. The university hour is a great way to set up a booth and advertise to students as well. If the school is excited on what they have to offer then the students will be too." All group members find that University Hour is an ideal time for clubs and organizations to use in order to make themselves known on campus by making connections with students. When speaking of the students who do not plan on graduating from CSUSM, Perez believes that the Alumni Foundation should ask what the students want. Perez added, "Getting the students involved with what the school has to offer will keep them here because they are connected and feel like they should belong and they want to belong so they stay here building our school from within. The school should get into the habit in asking what the students want, because after all, we come here so why not make it a place where we want to be, this is the idea of what we had in mind in doing this survey to get the students involved in making this an environment where they would like to be, even after they leave." Group member Sharkey transferred to CSUSM from a school in Oklahoma that had an impressive, yet older Alumni Association. Sharkey said, "I don't feel a connection. I don't know if I'll get that here." Richardson added, "The Office of Alumni and Parent Relations, in University Advancement, will be the coordinator for commencement beginning with the 2007 spring graduation. This will allow the Alumni Association to encourage graduating students to consider the benefits, networking particularly, of active participation as alumni. Additionally, there are steps underway to link alumni to recruitment and admissions efforts and to increase the number of alumni who return to campus as mentors, speakers, prospective employers, etc." From MENTORS, page 1 group, explained, "As a future teacher, I believe that obtaining an education is extremely important. However, due to economic instability or lack of support, many students are not able to acquire a proper education. Fortunately, through ASIST I have found a way to help individuals who are lacking such support and who deserve the opportunity to become educated." Research shows that first generation students are more likely to prolong the time between high school and college, or to attend college part time, putting them at a higher risk for not complete ing a degree, or lastly, not attending college at all. The National Center f or Education Statistics conducted research in correlation with the U.S. Department of Education. According to the report, "First-generation students were less likely than other students to attend college within 8 years after high school. Roughly four in 10 (43 percent) first-generation students who entered post-secondary education during this period left without a degree by 2000, while 24 percent had graduated with a bachelor's degree. The opposite pattern was observed for students whose parents were college graduates: a large majority (68 percent) had completed a bachelor's degree, while 20 percent left without a degree." High school students who are the first in their family to attend college are faced with all kinds of questions from how to apply, where to go, what major to choose Photo courtesy of ASIST A SIST advisor Bill De La Fuente stands with mentors on the Chavez stairs during their retreat last spring. and financial aid opportunities. Many times these high school students are already working f ull time, balancing sehool, work, home and a social life. According to the National Center for Education, "Choosing an undergraduate major appeared to pose a greater challenge for first-generation students than for others. One-in-three first-generation students (33 percent) had not identified a major after entering post secondary education, compared with 13 percent of students whose parents had a bachelor or advanced degree." With programs on campus such as ASIST, first-generation college Grand Theft Auto students will now have the ability to gain the support that they need to reach their goals, and to defy the statistics. As is the case with many student organizations, the students of CSUSM aspire to be active in community service. For this group of students, that means making the choice to continue the cycle of education by reaching out to fellow students and returning the valued support that they have received in their college experiences.

On the Before I go though, I'd like to give other hand, we have freelance website of the week BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Last month most CSUSM students began creating their schedules for next spring semester. Students mainly chose classes because they fulfill a requirement. Some students chose classes that fit neatly into a condensed schedule. Other students chose classes merely because they are interesting; and yet, other students chose classes because they like certain professors. Behind every CRN lies a professor. CSUSM has numerous great professors, as well as numerous awful professors. writers who are not in the class and have only written a single article during the entire semester. Both groups make valuable contributions to thé paper and both are appreciated and get something out of the experience. Experience writing for the paper is surprisingly effective in getting attention on your résumé from potential employers, and if you'd like, if you invest enough time in the paper you can get class or internship credit. Newspaper writing is also surprisingly easy. The Pride has excellent Editors and Copy Editors who can help with picking a topic, writing the article allows students to add a comment after each rating to create a more in depth review. Currently the website has over 6,200,000 reviews, more than 770,000 rated professors, and over 6,000 schools listed. The website was created in 1999. "Every semester, millions of students use the site to help plan their class schedules, and improve the quality of their educations," says the site's president and founder, John Swapceinski. The website also has a general discussion forum and a list of the t op 20 funniest comments about professors. The current funniest comment is: "You can't cheat in Syposium for Global Studies A Global Studies symposium took place on Tuesday and Wednesday, November 28th and 29th, to promote campus awareness of the importance of global a ffairs and to get students aware of the Global Studies Program. This was the second symposium that the Global Studies Program has sponsored in two years. Eight students participated in the symposium by giving their views on certain topics dealing with the Global Studies minor. Next semester Dr. Kim Quinney, Dr. Vicki Golich and Dr. Scott Greenwood will be teaching the new class that the symposium was also advertising. Professor Greenwood was kind enough to tell us more about this soon-to-be major and newly updated minor. "The Global Studies minor began Fall of 2005 and was revised in Fall 2006 to include new interdisciplinary core course for the minor and future major: GBST 300! The title of Global Studies 300 is 'Global Economics, Politics, and Society, and will be offered spring 2007." The team-teaching tactic for next semester is to help students learn about the process of globalization from a variety of perspectives. The new class will "analyze globalization as a historical process and explore how it is shaping human cultures, economics, and politics." For the students who are going to minor in Global Studies, this GBST 300 course is required and is also required for the Global studies majors. "The Global Studies major is projected to begin in Fall of steps on campus, you can do it. Some students say that they won't write for The Pride, because they "don't like it"; to them I say that is the best reason to write for the newspaper of all. The Pride newspaper is a student newspaper. If you don't like it, if you think it's bad, you can write an article and make it better. When I read that first issue of The Pride a year ago, I didn't like it either. Hopefully through my work as a writer and as an editor, I've helped to make it a better paper in some way. If not, you can do it for me—write something better than I ever could. That's my advice to you. Ratemyprofessor.com One way to distinguish the great professors from the not as great professors is to visit RateMyProfessors.com. The website allows students to anonymously rate their professors. The ratings are then compiled and are available to all registered users. Students can search be either school name or a professor's name. The website contains six ratings for each professor. The ratings are, number of ratings, average helpfulness, average easiness, average clarity, and overall quality. The website has a sixth rating for hotness as a f un category. The ratings are derived from a one to five scale. The website also BY AMANDA RUTHERFORD Pride Staff Writer and will polish it for you before it gets published to make sure it looks great. Writing for The Pride is also fun. Personally, I don't have any particular love for writing just for writing's sake. But I enjoy writing for the newspaper because it's always an open ended assignment. No matter what the subject, what ever you're interested in can potentially be made into a newspaper article. Whether you want to do investigative journalism and expose corruption of local politicians, or write about a concert you enjoyed, or just write an opinion piece about the excessive number 2008," Dr. Greenwood explained. The first day of the symposium took place in UNIV 443 and four students participated in the Individual Paper Panel. Those students and their topics were: Robert Carrier,"ReligionasaCopingMechanismfor Female Workers in Mexico"; Martin Gala, "United States Foreign Policy and Nuclear Strategy: The Impact of 9/11"; Sandra Gotlaufa, "Why Do Citizens of West European Countries Vote For Extreme Right-Wing Parties?"; and Amanda Hanson with "The United States and Sweden: A comparative Study of Health Care Systems." The Best Paper Award was won by Ms. Sandra Gotlaufa who has a major in Political Science and a minor in Global Studies. The second day was made up of four students discussing the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah, the students of which are in currently enrolled in PSCI 364B Arab-Israel Conflict: 1948 to the present. These perspectives were given in ARTS 240 by Rawan Ayyash with the view from Israel, John Brohamer with the Iranian Perspective, Amanda Hanson with the Hezbollah angle, and Jonathan Hunter with the perspective of the Bush Administration. Approximately 60 students and faculty showed up to the Global Studies Symposium. Just like this year, next year's symposium will be to promote i nteresfin Global Studies, its classes, the major and minor, and to let students share their own research with the campus community. For those who would like to attend this event next time, the next symposium will take place in the 2007-2008 school year.

It is will generally pimp themselves sad that it has got to the point where out. It's pretty much written into the Chicago White Sox Major the ten commandments of sports.

That is why many athletes will only do interviews if they are allowed to promote their sponsors. It's really impressive and heartwarming that a boxer the caliber of Manny Pacquiao was promoting educatioñ across his chest rather than the newest casino or the latest feature film. The sweatshirt was given to Pacquiao as a gift from a CSUSM student, and was seen on television across the world. I personally don't know Pacquiao but the fact that he would rather promote education than some cereal really shows me a lot about what kind of person he is. The accompanying pictures were taken from "TV Patrol" on the Filipino channel. The woman sitting next to him is Diane Castillejo and the interview took place on November 20. During the interview, he was asked questions about his victory over Erik Morales at the Thomas and Mack Center at UNLV. The fight was a battle of two heroes from their respective nations, which resulted in several Filipino and Mexican politicians to attend the match. Other celebrities in attendance that night were Oscar De La Hoya of Golden Boy Promo- Photos courtesy Aamara Ysrael tions, "Dancing With The Stars" now has a career record of 43-3contestant Mario Lopez, Filipina 2 and he should be considered the pop star Sarah Geronimo, who number one challenger to WBC sang the national anthem, and junior lightweight champion Marco Antonio Barrera (63-4). many CSUSM students.

Michael Richards and the media's 'comedic' hypocrisy BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Columnist "If you don't like what I have to say, then don't listen to me." That is what comedian Michael Richards, better known as "Kramer." should have said to the African-American hecklers in the now infamous incident. That is what I say to people who berate me about something I've written. Right off the bat, I can guarantee most of you aren't going to like what I am about to say, so go ahead and start your e-mail, but I will simply point to my lead sentence for my sentiments on your criticism. For those of you who may not be aware of this story, Richards shouted racial slurs towards two black men who were heckling him and talking aloud towards one another during a show. When I first heard this story, I knew one thing for sure; every media outlet in the world would be uneducated about the world of stand-up comedy. Luckily for you, I have been around comedians my whole life, since my Uncle is a comedian, which has allowed me a pass into the comedy world. Richards was performing at the Laugh Factory on the Sunset strip in Hollywood. One thing about that club is that it's notorious for hecklers, so when I heard it was at the Factory I wasn't shocked one bit. Most clubs don't tolerate hecklers the way the Factory does. The two men who were heckling were sitting in balcony stage left. In that club you are basically guaranteed to have a heckler in the balcony, because people think they are far enough away from the show to have a personal conversation, even though they are only 15-feet from the stage. Let me remind you, I am not defending Richards at all. As you may know by now, I am very outspoken when it comes to social injustices. On that note, the tape of Richards doesn't even rank on the top 25 list of the most racially insensitive comments I have heard while around comedians, whether on stage or in the green room. The only thing that happened here is that the media chose to r un this story. Someone brought up the point to me that Richards was unlucky to be taped on stage. Well, something you may not realize about clubs like the Factory is that every comedian who steps on that stage is being taped, whether it's by the house or by someone in the audience. Once again, the media chose to r un this story. Go to any club at any time and you will see a similar incident. Another thing that the media did, which is just ludicrous, is that they made this news on Mcyiday, November 20 when it really happened on Friday, November 17. Our society picks and chooses who we want to lambaste and when we want to do i t In the same week that "Kramer" was being cooked for racial slurs, Sacha Baron Cohen had the number one "movie" in the U.S. with "Borat", which is one of the most racially insensitive "films" I have ever seen. If you are going to throw a stone at one person for something stupid, then you need a boulder for the rest of this world. Take Chris Rock for example. I think the guy is a comedic genius, but how is he any different than Richards when he goes to some town in Tennessee and calls audience members a derogatory white name? It is not alright for any comedian of any race to go on stage and call another person of an opposite race a derogatory name. It's also not right for two people of the same race to call one another racially negative names. Now, I must relate this to sports, since this is supposed to be a sports column. Someone brought up the point,. "Well how is this any different from when an athlete gets heckled? They don't react with a racial slur." First off, go stand on a sideline of any major sporting event and you will hear something similar to what Richards said. Secondly, a comedian is the one with a mic, which means that he is the guy who has the right to talk. If you are an audience member at a club, the other people in the audience aren't there to hear you talk. If you are at a game, you are given the right to boo and talk when you buy that ticket. You aren't deemed that right at a club, so let's not forget that the two audience members are also at fault for the incident. For years now, racism has been allowed to hide behind comedy. It will continue to stay that way, because in one week the media will stop telling you to think about "Kramer." It happens all the time. Bill Parcells, the Dallas Cowboys coach, used a derogatory term towards people of Japanese descent, and a week later it was forgotten. Peyton Manning sexually harassed a woman in college. How many of you sports fans remember that story? That's because the media chose not to cover that story in depth. I really don't have one general point. I have a bunch of scattered frustrations with the hypocrisy of the way this world operates. I am frustrated with the racism that is prevalent in this world. I am f rustrated with audiences who lack mutual respect for the person with a mic or pen. I am frustrated with the media telling the public what, when, and who is relevant to throw daggers at.

A fter a long semester of cold nights of studying, and long days of classes, we all deserve the best reward for our hard work, and that reward is Miller High Life. The label itself is awe inspiring: the proud Miller logo with its swooping underline on the top of the label, and proudly and boldly below, golden letters proclaim "HIGH LIFE"—as if the beer is announcing your arrival to a new luxurious life of delicious beer flavor. Under the name is scrawled in an elegant cursive font, "The Champagne of Beers," signifying that it is signed and guaranteed to be the best. Miller High Life is not available at just any establishment. In fact, Miller High Life is not served at many establishments on account of it not being available on draft. But it is readily available at liquor and grocery stores, generally towards the back of the store, bottom shelf of the cooler, down and to the left between the Mickey's and Steel Reserve. It is a bit expensive, with a 40 oz. generally costing between $1.60 to $2.25, compared to other 40 oz. beers and malt liquors such as Country Club and Bud Ice which run between $1.10 and $2.00. But it is well worth the extra fifty cents to live the high life. High Life comes in a variety of sizes, 16 and 24 oz. cans, 12, 22, 32 and 40 oz. bottles. Many enjoy pilsner beers in special pilsner glasses; however, f requent drinkers of Miller High Life all know that "The Champagne of Beers" is best enjoyed from the bottle, preferably of the 32 or 40 oz. variety. To prevent your hands from warming the beer, which generally alters the flavor and aroma of the beer, it is typical to use the bag that is given to you by the liquor store as a single use beer cozy. While High Life is slightly low on alcohol content for a pilsner at 4.7% ABV, it makes up for it in taste. In 2002 at the World Beer Cup, Miller High Life won the gold medal in "Americanstyle Lagers" against 17 other contestants. It has a rich golden color and a frothy head with good retention. It has a distinct lack of smell and goes down smooth, provided it stays cold. If allowed to warm, the 'Champagne of Beers" spouts a bouquet of corn adjunct and yeast smells, becomes increasingly difficult to drink, and sometimes causes inexplicable headaches in some drinkers. It has a uniform and simple mouth-feel and tastes sweet, with slightly spicy hops and strong corn adjuncts. Originally brewed in 1903, Miller High Life has an over 100 year tradition of providing only the finest to distinguished drinkers. In just a few weeks we will get a chance to toast the New Year and say goodbye to the last. Do it in style, and become part of the distinguished tradition, with a 40 of the "champagne of beers." Drink of the week: Searching for the perfect peppermint potable {Peppermint Montini BY BRANDIBLAHNIK Pride Staff Writer A hh... the crisp winter air, aisle after aisle of tree ornaments, and the decadent glow of over-decorated houses. 'Tis the holiday season and a time for joy. One of my greatest joys is found in the sweet and refreshing peppermint flavor that flowers in the frosty, wintry season. But how exactly does one incorporate this tasty temptation into a quick and easy party drink? Soothe your Christmas spirit with the Perfect Peppermint Martini. Rest assured this was n o easy task, finding the perfect holiday martini. Peppermint schnapps was an easy enough choice, but what to use for a foundation? The spicy, party-friendly white rum? The flavorful and potent Tanqueray? Perhaps a more mild gin, like the delicate and sophisticated Bombay Sapphire, or the always faithful and flavorless-in-a-wonderful-way vodka? Well it was no easy task (no, seriously, four martinis is no easy task), but we tested and tried each to find r our favorite. White rum seemed a valid enough choice. It's rather beach-appropriate and, given the San Diego climate, might have made a nice "Christmas in SoCal" cocktail. Be glad we tested this one for you, and save your rum for summer fun. It was by far the only combination which left us asking, "What peppermint?" Next we tried the gins. Being a martini lover myself, I have a fondness and bias towards Tanqueray. But our cocktail was overpowered by the flavor and tang of this gin which battered the peppermint into a bitter aftertaste. Our next choice was Bombay Sapphire, a gin so delicious and delicate it could confidently sit in a glass by itself. This combination won my favor and a listing in the recipe below. The peppermint schnapps was neither overpowered nor overpowering; instead, the herbal infusion which makes this gin so special complimented the icy mint flavor of the schnapps and the whole drink went down smoothly. The vodka, an obvious choice, won favor with my husband but was not the favorite. Here i Obtaining your PhD? our icy cocktail was—I hesitate to say it—too peppermint-y, offering nothing to compliment the schnapps. Now I realize that you might be asking why we didn't get our hands on some crème de menthe. Simple: this is not a liqueur I stock in my cupboard at home because every drink it's paired with has a minimum of three ingredients. If you've ever played hostess, and 'tis the season, you know what a pain these elaborate concoctions can be on your time, wallet, and kitchen. With that in mind, I aimed to create a simple, affordable cocktail that was easy to replicate and, frankly, didn't use anything as sissy as crème de menthe. To make your own Perfect Peppermint Martini, pour 1.5 ounce peppermint schnapps over ice in a martini shaker. Next, pour 1.5 ounce Bombay Sapphire gin into shaker. Shake, pour into a martini glass, and serve. But 1ng your m artinis at your next holiday soiree? Garnish your cocktail with peppermint mints or candy canes. It's not just festive, but f un too.

Records It's too bad the volume knob in my car doesn't go any higher. "Louder Now" could not be any more appropriately titled. This release from TBS is the perfect companion for a brutal workout session or some much needed alone time that requires anger management therapy. I suppose "MakeDamnSure" is my favorite track off "Louder Now," as it is the reason why I picked up the album in the first place, but every track on the 11-track disc is absolutely killer. TBS doesn't miss a beat on this release, from the final snap of the snare down to the precise guitar lines and passionate screaming, every second of "Louder Now" is ridiculously perfect and thoroughly energizing. 2 . Regina Spektor ladies, Hut this time Justin is no boy; he's a man, and man does he bring the heat in his provocative, seductive, sexy, • and downright scandalous songs. "Future Sex / Love Sounds" will get your heart beating fast within the first few seconds of the album's title track opener. Followed by "SexyBack" and "Sexy Ladies," have no fear; there is plenty of 'sex' to go around on this love-filled record. 4 . Snow Patrol Eyes Open A & M Records It's rare when a band is able to grab a hold of your heart—onto the fragile strings of your emotional core—and run away with it. Show Patrol does no less, and yet, much more than that. From Ireland of all places, Snow Patrol isn't new to the scene. With their invigorating attitude, once again they open their mouths and aptitude for musical catharsis and dare listeners to become vulnerable. "Eyes Open," the latest fulllength to travel across the seas from the Celtic homeland, is as intimate as it is rock. Empowered with the ability to leave listeners speechless and simultaneously bursting at the seams with incredible emotional realizations, "Eyes Open" demands not only your ears, but also your soul, and every ounce of your physical being. Begin to Hope Sire Records Regina you smitten devil, you! For those of you whom are unfamiliar with Regina Spektor, she is purely magical. In my opinion, Regina Spektor's "Begin to Hope" is the best female record of 2006 from any and all genres, hands down. Not only does her story-telling style of writing 5 .

Rascal Flatts Me and My Gang Lyric Street Records There is nothing sadder than the lovesick themes and depressing life experiences that gush from through the plastic wrapper of Rascal Flatts' 2006 release, "Me and My Gang." So sad in fact that I can't help but love every second of it. Call it cruel, call it painful, call it whatever you like, but the fact of the matter is that Rascal Flatts' style appeals to a younger demographic of country fans, and I am one of them. By way of the numerous singles off "Me and My Gang," like "What Hurts the Most," "My Wish," and the title track, their latest album has the potential to be their greatest thus far. In addition to "Me and My Gang," Rascal Flatts also had a number one single, "Life is a Highway," from the animated film "Cars" this past year. When it comes down to it, "Me and My Gang" is all about friendship: the friendship of band mates, the friendship between the band and fans, and the friendship with the rating charts. 7 . The Wreckers Stand Still, Look Pretty Maverick Records Pretty they are indeed. Michelle Branch and Jessica Harp are no ordinary musicians; they are beautiful and incredibly talented country rockers. With the dreamy looks and catchy hooks, there is no denying that The Wreckers would have any problems wrecking the country gals and hardcore femmes that stood in their way this past year on the Billboard charts. As the songs on "Stand Still, Look Pretty" range from cool and collected to brash and twangy, this duo successfully breeds quality songs that celebrate our nation's country roots with a rock 'n roll flare in one polished, f un, and down-to-earth album. 8 . People in Planes As Far A s the Eye Can See Wind-up Records The members of People in Planes may be weird, but they know how to rock like no others. Hailing from the British mother ship, these sizzling rockers can only be taken seriously when one has the opportunity to witness their mind-blowing, indescribable live show. Splashes of paranoia line their lyrics and graphic imagery, mimicking airplanes and travel, setting the stage f or^ pseudo-hallucinogenic rock experience that doesn'tcompare to any ^•¡•••Ri^ other e arthly experience. Attracting comparisons to Muse, Supergrass, Jefferson Airplane, Pink Floyd, A1 Kooper and Radiohead, the boys of People in Planes mean business. Strutting their guitar-laden, leather-pantswearing, beer-drinking, grungy-bass-linedancing, abusive-electric-rhythm-looping, and seductive-vocal-attack of the technojazz-swaying-legendary-rock-overdosekind, People in Planes' "As Far as the Eye Can See" is definitely an album you're not going to want to miss out on. y . John Legend Once Again Sony Records John Legend might just be the perfect man. He knows all the right things to say, and just when to say them. His colorful and vibrant style paired with simple rhythms and his seductive voice are all the right ingredients for a successful album. Songs like "Stereo," "Save Room," "Each Day Gets Better," and "Maxine" are emotionally coercive and pleasantly haunting. John Legend has done it again, and I can't stop listening to "Once Again" as the perfect man has once again created the perfect album. 1 0 • Margot and the Nuclear So & So'st The Dust of Retreat Artemis Records With striking prose and sounds that drive to the core of emotion, this Indianapolis band does everything right on "The Dust of Retreat" with their savvy chords and "I know we're good, that's why we do what we do," attitude. With a roster as long as their name, the eight members of Margot and the Nuclear So and So's put forth a deliciously garnered album, lush with imagery .of the wild, childhood nostalgia, vampires, the sea, cats, mice, betrayal, drugs, and passion; much of the imagery serves as metaphors for their lives and encounters no doubt and is potent to say the least. A collection of 12 sturdy tracks, each with its own forlorn tone and a catalog of instruments into the dozens—a few of which include "meows," steel lap, banjoes, synths, guitars and percussion— the Margot's most certainly have enough ammo to make it to the next battle. Photo Illustration by Mary Foley/ The Pride �The Pride sits down withAtreyu's guitarist Atreyu l ive at IICI BY AMANDA RUTHERFORD Pride Staff Writer Image courtesy of Victory Records November 18 was a night many Atreyu fans will never forget. Atreyu headlined their mini tour with a few other rock bands. UC Irvine was lucky enough to host them on this Saturday night. And I was lucky enough to be able to interview Atreyu's guitarist, Travis Miguel, before the show. The night started off inside the tour bus with Travis, other band members, and family. Irvine is Atreyu's hometown, so it was a big show for family and friends. When I asked Travis what got him started in the band, he chuckled a bit at the-question and told me, "I actually worked with our singer at Hot Topic. He came up to me one day and he was like, 'Yeah, my band needs a guitar player. Do you want to come by and maybe jam a few songs?' As everybody was leaving, we were like, 'Alright, I'll see you next Sunday,' and I said 'Okay, cool.' Next thing you know I'm signing a record contract. And then it all went from there." When I asked Travis if he ever thought he'd be where he was now, he answered, "No, not in a million years. I mean we've all been fans of music and we've all been in bands. It was all just for f un to begin with. Then Victory came knocking on our door, and for us that was a huge d eal When we first recorded a demo and sent it out, we didn't even bother sending it to Victory because that was so far off the radar. We grew up listening to all the Victory bands like Snap Case, Blood Line, and stuff like that. I remember getting a call from Alex saying 'Dude, Victory Records is really interested in us.' And I was like 'are you kidding m e?'" Travis was a lot like most college students here at GSU San Marcos. He was 21 and getting ready to finish school. He was attending California State University Fullerton and had one semester left. That's when his band member informed him of Victory's interest. Travis didn't just drop school and go live the rock star life, however. He admitted that he was "really torn" and "didn't know what to do." Travis told me how he made his decision t o leave school: "Should I attempt to live this far fetched dream or should I do the more responsible thing and finish school? I actually asked my parents what to do. They were like, 'You know this opportunity is not going to present itself probably ever again. So you may as well just go with it. School is always going to be there.'" I asked him if he'd ever want to go back to school. "My mom really wants me to," he answered. "But then again i t has been so long the requirements for graduating have probably changed. But so far I haven't had to worry about that. I'm sure one day I will. We take everything in stride and we know this isn't going to last forever." All the fans always want to know what got their band or favorite band member started in music. So, I asked Travis what got him interested in music. "Honestly I was 11 or 12 and I saw the video 'One* by Metallica, and that was the first time I'd ever seen double bass of music that aggressive. That's what sparked my interest in music. My sisters' boyfriend at the time knew a lot about music and he passed that knowledge onto me. He taught me the bass line to 'Wild Thing.' I couldn't even hold the thing up, the bass itself. I was so small and it was so big. It kept creeping down my lap. Then I picked up the guitar and started taking lessons. Now here I am playing to a couple thousand kids each night. It's pretty damn cool." To sum up the interview before the show started I asked Travis if there was anything he wanted to say to the students of CSUSM. "I don't want to say live each day like it's your last; everybody says that. [But] it's true. Take advantage of the opportunities you have. Don't be afraid to take risks, but weigh your options. Don't just go into anything blindly. Have f un because we only live on this planet once." Not only was the interview very interesting but so was the show. Before Atreyu even started playing the crowd was screaming for music. Lights of all colors flashed randomly onto the crowd. The dimly lit UCI Bren Center soon rumbled with music. Atreyu played songs in what seemed t o'be no particular order but covered all the different albums they have. The main singer got the crowd to sing along, and the drummer, who also sings, got the crowd to sing parts he wouldn't. Atreyu kept the crowd going and kept moving around the stage. There was so such thing as a dull moment at this concert. But sadly, like all things, the concert had to come to an end. And it did with a song I'd never thought I'd hear a band like Atreyu play: "You give love a bad name." The singer started to sing the classic Bon Jovi song and hit each note perfectly. The crowd went wild, Photos by Amanda Rutherford / The Pride though it was hard to believe they cctold get any crazier. There was never a second where some person wasn't running back to the mosh p S because they got passed over the line and needed to go around the seats to get back to the center of the building. The way to the parking lot was f ull of excitement even after the concert, and for the people who attended it was a concert they would never forget. Book review: "Fairest" BY SARAH PULTZ Pride Staff Writer Gail Carson Levine is the author of the Newberry Honor book "Ella Enchanted," which was made into a movie starring Anne Hathaway in 2004. Levine's latest book for children, "Fairest," is a loose; sequel t o "Ella Enchanted," but it also stands- on its own just fine. "Fairest" is an adaptation of the story "Snow White," toM in L eyjn^s own special style; Although it is well written and engaging, put of all of Levine'^fairy tale adaptations, it's not my absolute favorite. It lacks some o fthe dramatic tension that makes Levinels othesr books the page-turners they are, and the character development isn't always very convincing. In spite of its small shortcomings, "Fairest" stands out as more than just a good book because Levine is doing more than just telling a story. What seems o n. the surface to be a frivolous piece of teeny bopper fiction actually packs some very interesting and positive messages. "Fairest" is set in the same world as "Ella Enchanted," but takes place in the neighboring kingdom of Ayortha, where singing and music are the most important parts of the culture. Levine's version of Snow White is a girl named Aza. Aza is not a princess and certainly not beautiful. Like Snow White, she has skin white as snow, lips red as blood, and hair black as night, but freakishly so. She is very tall and very wide, but she can also sing more beautifully than anyone else in the kingdom. When Aza is invited to the king's wedding, she meets and befriends Levine's version of the wicked queen, an impossibly beautiful young girl named Ivi. Soon the vain new queen discovers that Aza has a special talent and decides to use it for her own benefit. At first, Aza believes she is doing no harm by helping the queen, but when the king is injured and the queen takes over the throne, Aza finds herself trapped in a dangerous deception that could destroy the whole kingdom. From there the story follows your standard Snow White plot. There's a handsome prince, a magic mirror, and a poisoned apple. If you've seen the Disney movie or read the Brothers Grimm, you'll know how it all goes down. But as I said before, it's the message, not the plot, which makes this book special. One intriguing theme is respect for other cultures. As a wicked queen, Ivi's greatest transgression is not cruelty or murder. It is disrespecting the culture of her subjects. When she first becomes queen she refuses to participate in the singing rituals of her adopted country. When finally she does, it is with disdain. She constantly makes it clear that she thinks her new country is inferior, and Levine makes her attempts to abolish Ayorthan culture, the ultimate cause of her downfall. Levine's strongest message is about the unimportance of physical appearance. I love fairy tales, but I hate the traditional fairy tale heroine - beautiful, passive, silent, and helpless. That's why I love Levine. Aza is a true heroine, but she is also a real young girl. She's horribly aware of what the standards of beauty are in her society. She believes that she is ugly and offensive to everyone around her, but she is really very kind, loyal, brave, and talented—traits that earn her love and respect. When she realizes that the queen's beautiful face hides a self-centered heart, she learns to see herself as her loved-ones do, and her happily-ever-after ending is not becoming beautiful, but gaining selfconfidence and self-respect. Most fairy tales are written t o reinforce the social order of their time, but Levine has taken the genre and turned its purpose around. Her ideas about good and evil are not always what you would expect and she uses love and patriotism in some uncon- Image courtesy of www.harpercollinschildrens.com ventional ways. In short, there's enough there to keep an adult reader j ust as interested as a teenage girl. It would make a good addition t0 a classroom library. Or if you have a thirteen-year-old girl on your g ift list, or are j ust hiding one somewhere in your heart, "Fairest" is a great Christmas present that you can give with a good conscience. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Professors Jodi Lawston and Sharon Elise are leaders of the coalition and will be spearheading the event. The coalition is still in its beginning stages on campus and it aims to expose the inequality of prisoners in women's prisons. In 1995 the California Coalition for Women's Prisons began in the Bay Area when a lawsuit titled Wilson vs. Shumate sparked attention toward the inadequacies of the healthcare system for women in prison. Since 1999, Lawston has been involved with prison activism. Lawston is currently in the midst of researching women in prison, social justice movements, and resistance to oppression within the prison system. According to Lawston, nine women died in 2000 from wrongful deaths in a six week time span. Most of the women were in their 30s or 40s and died from such illnesses as asthma attacks, Hepatitis C and AIDS. Each of these women lived and suffered with the illnesses without knowing they were ill. After their deaths, officials found that the illnesses were explicitly stated in their files and that they had been denied of proper medical treatment. Following this situation, the legislator decided that something had to be done, but until this day, nothing has been accomplished in forwarding a better health system for women in prison. When asked why prisoners are mistreated, Lawston replied, "Prisoners are an isolated group of people, they're not heard about in the media, they're invisible in the population of people. The idea is that people in prison did something wrong so they deserved to be punished." Lawston added, "An average of 65 prisoners have been dying every year due to poor medical care." The improper treatment of women in Prison led Lawston and Professor Sharon Elise to lead the CSUSM chapter for the California Coalition for Women Prisons. Lawston says, "We are striving to raise awareness of the major problems and human rights violations that occur in the criminal justice system everyday; from racial profiling to the lack of adequate medical care. Like the mission statement of the main chapter of CCWP in the Bay Area, we want to raise public consciousness about the cruel and inhumane conditions under which women in prison live, and advocate for positive changes." Recently, a young woman, whose identity is being withheld in respect to her family, died in the Vista Detention Center. According to Lawston, "On September 19, she was pulled over for reasons that are still unknown." She was arrested and sent to the Vista Detention Center. Once in jail, she communicated with her family and told them she was receiving a blood test because she was suspected of driving under the influence of a drug. Due to her poor health, she was confined to a medical cell. The guard on watch could see her through the window in the door. Two days later, she began to hyperventilate. A few hours later, it appeared that she was sleeping in her bed. A few hours before she was pronounced dead, she was seen lying on thefloorof her cell. When her family met with the medical examiner, the examiner told the family that the result of her death would have to wait, pending the results from toxicology. To this date, her family still does not know the cause of her death. In remembrance for her death, the CSUSM chapter of CCWP will hold the vigil on December 2 at noon in front of the Vista Detention Center. Lawston says, "This made us realize that little work was being done in North County around prison abuse, and we have Vista and The California Institute for Women right in our backyards. We also have many students who have family or friends in prison. We wanted to raise awareness of this recent death, and on a larger scale, the abuses that go on in the prison system all the time." During the vigil, CSUSM's CCWP will be handing outflowersand lighting candles in her honor, and they will also present her family with flowers. Guest speakers will discuss the healthcare crisis in California's prisons and jails. Lawston says, "The knowledge that will be gained from this vigil is important because the degradation of human dignity in prisons, of our fellow citizens, reflects who we are as a society." !"

From CIA SEMINAR, page 1 stitutes a large number of CIA employees. This massive shortage in the CIA has lead to a hiring campaign that has also created new opportunities for the CIA. The CIA travels to campuses across the nation in hopes of hiring young, mature college students. The speakers for the seminar were Joe Dorcy, who recruits for the Clandestine Service of the CIA, and Michael Mow, who is head of the West Coast Recruiting Office for the CIA. "The primary mission of the CIA is to collect, evaluate, and disseminate foreign intelligence to assist the President and Senior U.S. government policymakers in making decisions for national security. The CIA is not a law enforcement agency and the CIA does not make foreign policy," stated Dorcy who wanted to clearly communicate the purpose of the CIA. Throughout the seminar a few key points were stressed by both Dorcy and Mow: the CIA is looking for students with integrity, maturity, motivation, the willingness to live outside of the U.S. or in Langley Virginia where the CIA Headquarters are located, and they are looking for students with traveling experience and fluency in foreign languages, especially Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, Dari, and Pashto. The CIA offers a summer internship for third year college students. To enter the CIA Professional Trainee Program, students must apply nine months prior to entering the program and must be at least 21 years of age. Students who currently want to enter the internship have already passed the November 1 Coordinator at Cal Poly Pomona's Counseling and Psychological Services, Herzog 4s also highly trained in addressing sensitive awareness about Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues. An advocate for LGBT persons, Dr. Herzog's latest book is entitled, "GET OUT!" which deals with the sensitivity of the coming out process. In addition to the Human Development Research Conference, there will be a free preconference Mock-GRE event happening on December 2, sponsored by Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions. The Mock-GRE will be held in Commons 206. Checkin time is 9:45 a.m., testing from 10:00 a.m;-12:00 p.m. and the results will be given back at the Human Development Research Conference during the Kaplan session.

Pozner is a widely published journalist and media critic whose essays have appeared in anthologies such as "What Do We Do Now?" and "The W Effect: Bush's War on Womenl" She founded Women In Media & News in 2001 and is the organizer of the National Feminist Coalition on Public Broadcasting. Pozrier is also involved in many other feminist organizations and acts as a media critic regularly. Jennifer Pozner came to CSUSM with a mission to reveal what she felt may have been hidden from the citizens of our nation as established by a bias media. The discussion that she brought at hand was centered on media's reaction to Hurricane Katrina during its occurrence, as well as its affect one year later. She opened the discussion with a reference to the New York Times headline on the day of Katrina's one year anniversary, which read "A Year After Katrina, Bush Still Fights for 9/11 Image." Her fighting position about a bias media deadline and will have to wait until next fall semester to apply. The internship pays a proportional salary equal to that of an entering CIA agent. To enter the program, all students must apply online at the CIA website. A phone interview or a possible sit down interview will then be conducted. If the interview is a success then the CIA will send out a packet to the student. The packet includes SF-86 security clearance forms, financial forms and health documents. If the CIA approves the information in the packet, then the CIA will then conduct a polygraph test along with a physical and psychological evaluation. Mow said, "You must not have tried an illegal drug within one year and not have a history of financial irresponsibility," Mow suggested a few things for the is first recognized in her concern of those ultimately victimized by such a tragedy but were so easily disregarded due to a priority in the seemingly more important affect in politics. "Notice, there's no word from the times, by the way, as to whether the victims have yet to recover." claimed Pozner, as she further stated her case that the victims of Katrina have not received due recognition for their suffering. Further on into the discussion, listeners were reminded of the infamous racial controversy that our society has always seemed to return to under any circumstance. Pozner quoted captions of pictures from past articles during the hurricane;' questioning why "Blacks were said to have 'stolen food' from abandoned places whereas whites were said to have 'found food,' though it was the same'concept." She also quoted and criticized "The O'Reilly Factor's" Bill O'Reilly, and his comments, not only on race, but gender and politics as well. She then concluded her message with possible solutions that should, or can be taken, with high hopes that someday these solutions may just be put to the test; if only media would serve what she felt was proper and adequate information to the people at large. Pozner commented that CSUSM was one of the first campuses in a year to be willing to hold a discussion of such a controversial topic as is the media's take on Hurricane Katrina and politics in America. online application. "Take your time when filling out the application, copy and save your information because you will not be able to edit your information later on. The objective box which we read first is the last question on the application so make sure you fill this out thoroughly. Mention that you attended the CSUSM CIA seminar. Explain why you want to work for the CIA and why you feel you are competitive," said Mow. A career in the CIA has great benefits such as a 401K savings plan, a credit union, a work and family center, a child care center, annual and sick leave, life insurance, alternative retirement system, and great travel opportunities. Entering CIA agents can earn between $47,000—70,000 a year. Sign on bonuses can be up to $30,000 for people with specific foreign languages such as Arabic. All relocation costs are paid for by the CIA. Dorcy has two college educated children and a wife. He and his family have spent 60-70 percent of his 25-year career with the CIA outside the U.S., moving every three to four years. When asked by a student if CIA agents were allowed to have families, Dorcy answered, "Of course, 80% of the CIA has married; your family will be moved with you, your children will always attend the best schools, and your housing and living costs will always be paid for." Another student asked when they should start the application process. Both Dorcy and Mow responded simultaneously, "Now!"

A picture consisting of two UVA residents holding an open bottle of champagne in what is questionably University Village Apartments was submitted to UVA staff. This picture would later find those in it in violation of UVA's alcohol paraphernalia code. According to the involved parties, on the night they were drinking at the UVA, no incident report was made by any resident advisor, nor was there any form of complaint or notice of violation given to any party member. Twelve days later, the involved parties all received a strike from UVA Resident Director Ryan McRae after the Facebook pictures had been posted and turned in anonymously. With two more strikes, residents can be permanently evicted from the UVA. Also according to the parties involved, on October 13 each received a neon pink flyer stating that "they had received a package" at the front desk. The same flyer all UVA residents receive when they have a package in the mail that is too large to fit in their mail box informing them that in order to receive the package they must go to the front desk and sign for it. However, after arriving at the front desk to receive the package, they were informed there was no package and were all given a strike notice instead. When asked why residents received this particular flyer before they received the strike notice, McRae said, u We want to make sure the residents receive the notice." McRae described how last year the UVA staff would deliver the strike notices to the residents' apartments but when that particular resident wasn't home, the strike notice would never leave the hands of his or her roommate. "On the back of my letter was a black and white picture of me and my roommate and our friend holding a bottle of champagne. We weren't drinking [from] it; my friend was just holding it in [their] hand. My roommates a ll. Photo by Kelly Corrigan / The Pride A SI board members discuss Prominence Pilot Project. got different pictures." Shortly after receiving the strike notices, a meeting with the UVA Resident Director was scheduled. Each of the residents held pending strikes against them and were told that they needed to schedule a one-on-one appointment with McRae. During the meeting, they were told that the source of the printed photographs was anonymous. "At the meeting, we all admitted that we had been drinking and we each received one alcohol strike." McRae said, "Sometimes we get envelopes in our box marked UVA and we won't know what it is till we open it. It's always from residents who choose to remain anonymous." McRae described that especially last year, the UVA directors experienced a huge influx of anonymous residents turning in other resident's photographs found on Myspace or Facebook accounts. " I would hate for students to lose an opportunity with a career to pictures on their Myspace or Facebook, pictures they wouldn't want to see out there." The undisclosed resident received a strike because they were underage and drank alcohol on UVA property. McRae says, "When the photograph captures a resident breaking UVA policy, then they will receive a strike. It works the same way if we see a picture of someone climbing out of the third story window. Basically, anything that could kill them." All resident's who receive a strike regarding alcohol must attend one alcohol class. The parties in mention received a strike because they were underage and they broke the policy stated in the UVA handbook. Under the Alcohol, Drugs, and Paraphernalia section of the UVA handbook, it reads, "We do not search for images of residents drinking, but digital images or photographs are useable for proof of consumption if it occurs on UVA property." The undisclosed resident also received a flyer addressing the alcohol class. The flyer is titled Alcohol Class and reads, "Location: Community Building. Bring a piece of paper and a pen. Good times. If you can't make it, you will need to write a 6 page paper on "The Dangers of Binge Drinking on College Campuses. See you there!" Below the text is an image of what looks to be an intoxicated man holding a bottle of alcohol. "This letter was not appropriate and it basically made fun of our situation," said the resident. When asked . about the flyer, McRae said, "I want to be fun about it. I know college kids drink. I get that. But this class isn't like traffic school. It's about being successful in school, it's about making healthy choices that won't have a negative impact on education. During the alcohol meetings^? residents share their experiences with each other. McRae says, "Students will learn from each other more than they'll learn from me." The resident also commented that "This doesn't make me want to live in the UVA again because I feel that instead of understanding that we are all at college and experiencing new things, I feel like I'm being babysat and every single thing we do is subject to punishment in any way possible. With this in mind it's obvious with the amount of freshmen and other students going to Prominence every weekend, that the students don't feel comfortable drinking at the dorms so they resort to going somewhere else where they feel they won't get in trouble." What i of protestors Armed with signs reading "Reed, Reed, give the people what they need" for example, the large gathering of CSU members took to the streets of Long Beach as a smaller group of enthusiasts entered the meeting itself to present a pledge called "Pledge for the Future of CSU" to the trustees. The pledge calls for lower tuition, the cut of all 'perks' for CSU executives and the allocation of that money specifically for student instruction, as well as compiling fair compensation contracts for all faculty and CSU staff in the future. Without being able to carry out their meeting, trustees waited in silence with the ensuing presentation of the pledge unfolding in the meeting chambers with protests still ringing loud outside. Unable to coerce the protestors to leave, the trustees surrendered and signed the proposed pledge and exited the building. Located on the CSUSM California Faculty Association's website, the President of CFA, John Travis saysi "Faculty members at every campus can describe the impact the bad decisions and misplaced priorities of this CSU administration has had on them and on their students: They are cutting campus budgets at Humboldt, Sacramento, L.A., Dominguez Hills, and East Bay, while they pay former executives millions for nothing long after they have left the CSU," further explaining, "It's not our nature as academics to disrupt meetings. But we have our responsibility to fight for our students, for the university and for ourselves and our families. That responsibility is what moved us today to send the Trustees running." Many faculty and students on campus at CSUSM shared this sentiment as 40 CSUSM professors and 25 CSUSM students participated in the protest. The impact of the spending made by CSU Trustees is great as the California State University system is the largest state school system in the nation. Enrolling more than 400,000 students each year and employing roughly 40,000 faculty and staff, the CSU system has and continues to educate Californians with its 23 campuses located all over the state.

The challenge was filed by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors and asked the state courts to stop the state from enforcing Prop. 215: the proposition permitting the use of marijuana for medical purposes. In 1996, 55% San Diegans voted to support the Compassionate Use Act, Proposition 215, for the use of marijuana for medical purposes. The law requires counties in California to issue identification cards to medical marijuana users and also maintain a registry of people who apply for them. The law allows patients with AIDS, anorexia, arthritis, cancer, chronic pain, migraine and "any other illness for which marijuana provides r elief' to possess or grow marijuana in small amounts with the recommendation of a doctor. Since its passing 10 states have created similar laws to allow for the use of marijuana by patients and protection for them against prosecution. And recently, a poll taken by the Marijuana Policy Project, a pro-medical marijuana organization, found that 78% of voters polled in the county opposed the law- suit. However, one state, South Dakota, rejected a ballot measure last week that would have permitted medical marijuana use. San Diego County is one of only three counties in California that have opposed the proposition. San Bernardino and Merced County's Boards of Supervisors in January filed similar suits which were consolidated with the suitfiledby San Diego. The lawsuit argues that in accordance with the supremacy clause of the United States' Constitution, federal law is supreme therefore the existing federal laws prohibiting the use of marijuana for any purpose overrides any state law California has passed. Last June, in a case on a related topic, the Supreme Court ruled that federal authorities could prosecute crimes even in states like California. Nonetheless, the ruling passed down by San Diego Superior Court Judge William R. Nevitt Jr. took the matter under submission. This ruling tentatively struck down the County's suit after the initial arguments. After the tentative ruling, the County's lawyers gave oral arguments later that day, but again did not succeed in changing the mind of the court. The argument, given by San Diego lawyer Thomas Bunton, focused mainly on states' requirements to fully enforce federal laws. The California Department of Justice's ruling indicates that in the view of the court, they were not. The court's final ruling, which will most likely remain against the suit, is expected sometime in December. While county voters do not appear to favor the lawsuit, there is a good chance the County Supervisors may appeal the courts decision. San Diego County receives $4.3 billion dollars from the government, most of which are federal dollars. By not complying with federal law, the cash strapped county could potentially be denied that money. Lawyers for Merced County announced in front of the judge that the county would appeal the decision and would be requesting a stay for the duration of the litigation. San Diego County lawyers have not yet announced whether they will appeal the decision or not, and may wait on issuing a statement hoping that the court will change its mind for the final ruling. I Mfi* f JL . & - Hawaii mm * States allowing medicinal use �New doors opened by Gates W ith Donald Rumsfield's resignation, a new foreign policy is in place BY MARTIN GALA Pride Staff Writer The elections on November 7 proved that Americans are eager for change. Democrats reclaimed power over the House of Representatives by a comfortable margin, and managed to take back the Senate by only one seat. The Republicans loss of Congress allegedly led to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's resignation. While some students may be unaware of his resignation, it could potentially cause major changes in the lives of many students. Rumsfeld was a principal member of a small group called the National Security Council whose purpose is formulating the goals and objectives of United States foreign policy, and creating the means in which to obtain those goals. As Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld was in charge of managing the Pentagon which controls all military branches including the Marines, Army, Air Force and Navy. This means that his decisions affected the deployment of troops, including units stationed at Camp Pendleton, Miramar Air Station and other surrounding bases that many students and students' families are stationed at. In recent days, there has been controversy as to whether Rumsfeld personally resigned, or if he was forced out of the Bush Administration. The White House refused to comment about any actual details pertaining to the buildup of Rumsfeld's dismissal, but recent speculation amongst analysts indicates that the preparations have been on the minds of many high ranking officials within the Bush administration for quite some time. There were numerous advocates of the former defense secretary's resignation; First Lady Laura Bush, former White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card, and not to mention numerous high ranking Generals that publicly announced their dissatisfaction of Rumsfeld's leadership within the Pentagon. According to numerous political analysts, President Bush had been reluctant to oust Rumsfeld earlier because of their close relationship. The President's loyalty to the former Secretary of Defense held strong despite the growing amount of public criticism over the past few Photo courtesy of www.dod.gov years over his mishandling of the war in Iraq. Soon after Donald Rumsfeld was forced to resign, the White House announced that they had selected a promising replacement. On November 8, 2006 President George W. Bush nominated Dr. Robert M. Gates to be the next Secretary of Defense. Recently Dr. Gates was a member of the Iraq Study Group, a bipartisan group co-chaired by former Secretary of State James Baker, and Lee Hamilton, a former chair of the House Committee on International Relations. The group was formed to help make recommen- dations to Bush on how to proceed in Iraq. These include decisions of whether to send additional troops, adjust deployment lengths or—even though highly unlikely—institute a draft. Robert Gates comes to the table with a vast understanding on international relations; he has served under six presidents, of both Republican and Democratic parties, and has years of experience on both the National Security Council and the Central Intelligence Agency. Dr. Gates is currently the 22nd President of Texas A&M University, and will remain so, until he passes his upcoming Senate confirmation hearings. Many analysts speculate that Dr. Gates will bring a fresh perspective to the Bush National Security Council. After three years of combat, the Iraq war has cost the lives of a number of American troops, including family and friends of CSUSM students as well as members of the North County community. As the new Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates will be in charge of making decisions for the United States in Iraq, and try to prevent any further losses.

Many professors are excited for the new upper and lower division classes and what they will offer to students. This will increase the breadth of many of the language majors and minors and increase the level of understanding of the languages and the cultures behind them. In these courses, teachers get to watch students grow and develop specific language skills, perhaps utilizing their skills later on to travel the world. Through the Study Abroad Program on campus too, CSUSM students have the opportunity to enter language programs and travel to places like Japan and live there while continuing their study in school, furthering their grasp of the foreign language. For those students who are not interested in pursuing a degree or minoring in one of the offered languages, it is still beneficial to all students to be aware that many of the lower-level language classes can be used to fulfill the language requirement that is necessary to graduate. Students must complete a course or a test for the course in a language other than English to graduate. Every language major and minor has different professors. Each is also split up by last name so that someone with the last name beginning with 'A' will not have the same advisor as someone with the last name of 'Z.' Lucy Higuera, the Foreign Language Proficiency Assessor, is available to students who need more information about wanting to test out of the language requirement. More information on this and the language course completions can be found at http://lynx.csusm. edu/llc/graduationrequirement. asp. Additionally, students do not have to major or minor in a language to take the advanced classes, as so any student wishing to enjoy a language course is free to do so; of course there maybe pre-requisite classes needed.

I, one out of many other voices here at Cal State, would like to say that I love University Hour. I love the chances it has given me to meet new people and get involved with clubs around campus. It is my only free hour between class and work that I get where I can rest, be entertained, and/or meet with friends. Being a freshmen, I came here knowing no one and unfamiliar to the campus and what it had to offer. I was delighted to find I am a student attending your University, here at Cal State San Marcos. The reason why I'm sending you this e-mail is because I have heard that there are some disputes regarding maintaining in the future University Hour. Since I have been attending classes at this university from the year 2002,1 am very much aware that the presence of University Hour has been creating a better life on campus, as well as giving a chance to students to observe performance events, while taking advantage of free food opportunities. Furthermore, University Hour has been able to permit and people and groups available at a time where most people weren't in a rush. I find college to be a busy place, full of people hustling about to go on with their own business, and I feel that University hour gives life to the campus and a chance for students settle down for an hour. I think by eliminating Universtiy hour our school would loose a lot of life and connection. Thank you for listening to my concern. Christy Curtis allow students to participate more freely to club events (since I also participate to the Global Connections Org.), as well as encourage more social interaction among students. For these reasons, I hope that you will listen to this e-mail in which I endorse fully the presence of university hour on campus, and I hope that it will continue to be a part of my campus life (as well as of other students). Thank you for your time. Roxana Righetti University Hour provides oppurtunity to students for inclusion in campus community COMMUNITY: it's one of five of the Cal State San Marcos core values. One that LGBTA works to fulfill through our shared commitments to service, teamwork, and partnership. Some people have stated that they don't need University Hour, which is fine. What I find troubling is the assumption that everyone can do without it. It seems as though some of the privileged members of the student body take for granted what it involves to build community. In order to facilitate the benefits of "community," time must be set aside and collaborations nurtured in order to make "teamwork and partnership" successful. Some of us aren't born into positions of privilege. I have seen this privilege lead to a selfcenteredness that contradicts community. Be it the color of our skin, ethnicity, our age, a disability, our gender, or sexual orientation, those without privilege may not know of the resources readily available to support them. LGBTA's role is to educate the student body, especially those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and allies, about how to find and use these resources. So, LGBTA will take full advantage of the opportunity to work with other student organizations on campus and create new partnerI II ships. I would like to thank ASI for their action on the behalf of student body for University Hour - without it some of us wouldn't know the benefits and advantages of being in a community. Each student I know on campus has a busy schedule and finds it challenging to manage the demands of learning, socializing, networking and planning for the future. Rather than saying "University * I Hour" is a waste of time or that it has interrupted the norm, consider what that one hour does for everyone. How unfortunate that some students simply attend class and leave campus. That single hour provides a new opportunity to most of the student body so they will not b e isolated from the communal experience that defines CSUSM.

He is on pace to break the NFL regular B season touchdown record, and countless other records by the end of his career. What you may not know, however, is that this humble man is capable of a number of other things that he refuses to brag about, so let me do the boasting for him. LaDainian is a magician. He could actually start a play at quarterback, drop back, throw the ball down field, and somehow catch his own pass for a touchdown. He might even be able to snap the ball and kick his own extra point LaDainian is an asset to team chemistry. He has certainly made Phillip Rivers' job a lot easier. He could probably even save Britney Spears and Kevin Federline's marriage, but I am sure he is like the rest of us and doesn't want the world to be inhibited by any more offspring than the two they already created. LaDainian is actually a multi-talented athlete. He is thinking about entering the Tour De France next year. He didn't consider entering while Lance Armstrong was still active, because he didn't want to beat Lance and cause any downslide in Lance's efforts towards curing cancer. LaDainian is a great scavenger. He knows how to find even the smallest holes in an opposing defense and then exploit it. Give him a flash light and a compass and he could find Osama Bin Laden before you could say Tal in Taliban. LaDainian is a conservationist. He knows that the mo^t important part of the game is in the second half, so he saves the majority of his touchdowns for crunch time. You know that hole in the O-zone? Well, he could fix it if he wanted to, but then A1 Gore wouldn't have a job, and L.T. is pretty sure Gore can't fill in for him at running back. LaDainian is also a politician. He knows that if one of his teammates screws up, he shouldn't throw him under the bus because he will likely need him in the future. In 2008, LaDainian would run for president, but he doesn't want the Democrats and Republicans to fight over which party he should belong to. So, rather than creating a further divide between the two parties, he has chosen not to pull a Tiki Barber, and has decided to continue dominating the rest of the NFL. LaDainian is an explorer. Jacques Cousteau had nothing on L.T. He is going places that no other running back has ever gone before. He has discovered a way for humans to build a civilization on Mars, but he also knows that aliens exist, and he doesn't want to start an intergalactic war. LaDainian is a detective in his spare time" as well. He has solved even the toughest defensive schemes in the NFL. He could even rid the United States of all crime, but then thousands of police officers would be out of jobs. LaDainian is a scientist on his off-days. Photo illustration by David Gatley / The Pride He has cooked up plays on how to score by catching, running, and throwing the ball. He» has also perfected cloning on human beings, but the government wont allow him to make it public, for fear that if L.T. cloned himself then the world may implode upon his greatness. The only thing left for him to do is to bring a Super Bowl championship to San Diego, which from my experiences may be the one thing thai no one can accomplish.

What can the over 21 years old crowd refresh themselves with this holiday season? The answer, my dear reader, lies in the Apple Seed. No, I'm not talking about the tiny object jam-packed with the miracle of life that was made so famous by Mr. Johnny Appleseed. I'm referring to the beverage of the same name that is jam-packed with the miracle of flavor. The Apple Seed is a merry little drink made from 1 part Jose Cuervo Especial Tequila, Vi. part Crème de Cassis, 1 part apple juice, and one teaspoon fresh lemon juice. The warmth of the Tequila mixed with the crisp, refreshingflavorof the apple juice and the sweet hint of the syrupy currant liqueur that is the Crème de Cassis delights the taste buds. Mixed in a Collins glass over ice and garnished with a slice of crisp red apple, this bright garnet of a drink is sure to be a hit at your holiday gathering.

In 1993 a single officer from the Coronado Police Department loaded his police car with 12 brand new teddy bears and drove to what was known as Children's Hospital to deliver the teddy bears to the sick and injured children. Since then, the Children's Hospital has changed its name to Rady Children's Hos- I pital and now, the Teddy Bear Drive is a year-long event which will end on December 12. Instead of one single officer, a caravan of 100 police vehicles filled with stuffed animals travel to the Coronado Community Center. From there, the teddy bears are delivered to Rady Children's Hospital. As tradition, the officers will walk inside the hospital in full uniform with teddy bears in hand, awaiting the smiling faces of children as they hand out the bears. Last year, CSUSM helped to donate 430 bears. A large sum of money was also donated to the Campus Police which made it possible for the hospital to buy more Ü S See TEDDYBEAR, page 2 IIS!ISy^ffv^Ä i Tue. Nov 14 71/59 F F Partly cloudy Wed.

Through Paloma Elementary School and The Early Learning Center, ASI has contacted 16 families in need and on Thanksgiving, these families will enjoy a pleasant meal. This year will mark the sixth year ASI has taken part in the Turkey Basket Drive. According to ASI's Student Coordinator of Activities, Sara Gallegos, "It gives the CSUSM community a chance to give back to the families in need around the area," she says. When ASI assigned each student a family, they included the age and gender make-up of each family member. Each student signed up is expected to cover the cost of a turkey in the form of a gift card, as well as other non perishables that would add to a nice Thanksgiving meal. On November 21, ASI will collect the baskets and deliver them to the Early Learning Center where an ELC employee will deliver the baskets to the families.

Coach Ron Pulvers, who before the season believed his squad would be very competitive from day one, saw them struggle to get off the starting block. The Cougars were outscored 14-3 in those first seven games, and clearly were having trouble buying into the system and playing together. But with their backs against the wall, the Cougar women refused to fold. Seemingly from nowhere, they started playing much better in all phases of the game. The first evidence of this came in the eighth game of the season, where the Cougars outplayed La Sierra University but still found themselves headed into overtime with the game knotted at 2. While the squad might have been discouraged by this earlier in the year, the Cougars came together to get the result they believed they deserved. Off the overtime kickoff, Courtney Drummond, who had scored the squad's first two goals of the match, volleyed a pass from Kelly Wherry into the net, putting an official end to the Cougars' sluggish start to the season. After "turning the corner" in that game, the women would continue to build momentum. They went 62-1 in their final nine games, finishing the year with a respectable 7-8-1 record; which, as Coach Pulvers points out, could have easily been much better without some late blown leads. What was the turning point? According to the players, it was not a single event, but rather the collective realization that they could indeed trust and rely on each other, and that being a true "team" was key to success. They began hanging out more outside of soccer, genuinely enjoying each others' .company and bonding with one another. In the words of Drummond, "it all clicked" as this was happening. Coach Pulvers wholeheartedly agrees: "It took the girls a while to come out of their shells and get along," he says. "Midway through the season they caught on. That's when we started playing better." 2006 was indeed a tale of two teams for Pulvers. As the squad developed, early-season frustration was replaced with pride, as well as optimism about the team's potential for next year. Players grew into their roles, leaders began to emerge, and the team became a lot of fun to watch. Indeed, the joy of following the Cougars this year was in watching a group of individual players come together as a team. Of the many Cougars that made and defense. She also contributed count on.

Men's Soccer 2006 Season Review: Roaring past expectations R u l fvlp TrAmKlpif By Kyle Trembley It's easy to look back on the 2006 men's soccer season and play the "what if" game. After all, while the squad was a sparkling 12-3-1 on the year and undeniably one of the best in the region, when the time came to announce the playoffs, the Cougars were left on the outside looking in. What if the team had won in just once in those three losses? What if they hadn't tied Chapman College late in the season? What if the playoffs weren't structured in a way that allotted a maximum of one slot to independent teams? But focusing on those questions unfairly draws attention away from the fact that it was truly an amazingfirstseason for men's soccer at Cal State San Marcos. Coach Ron Pulvers sums it up: "If you would've made a deal with me before the season saying that we'd go 12-3-1 but miss the playoffs, I would've taken it in a second." That's because going into the year, nobody knew what to expect. Aided by Assistant Coaches Bobby Renneisen and Davy Phillips, Coach Pulvers recruited a group of guys - mostly freshmen - during last spring, in the hopes that they'd come together by the season's beginning. But in training camp and preseason, the squad's performance was decidedly underwhelming. They were fast, yes, but didn't appear to be playing with enough passion or toughness to compete at a high level Then, after a hard-fought road loss at Cal Baptist in their first game, the Cougars came home to i. participate in the f£ X irst-ever i•ntercollegiate sporting event held at Cal State San Marcos. On August 25th, the squad entered Mangrum Field to take on heavily-favored Cal Poly Pomona. An unexpectedly large and rowdy crowd of fans came down from the University Village to cheer on the Cougars, and President Karen S. Haynes as well as other key CSUSM figures were in attendance. What they saw was a Cougar squad that came together in front of their eyes. With the game tied at l-l in thefinalminute, freshman forward Michael Nuovo outran the Pomona defense to a loose ball, and tucked it under the keeper to give the Cougars a very dramatic first win in the program's history. They'd never look back. Following the Pomona victory, the squad rattled off six straight wins, outscoring their opponents by a total of 2l-l. Thefinalgame in that stretch was a 1-0 win against Point Loma Nazerene, a nationally-ranked school in the NAIA. Though the Cougars fell in overtime to Vanguard the following match, they wonfiveof theirfinalseven games to close out the season. But the question remains: How did the team gofrommoderate expectations (at best) right before the season to a 12-3-1 record on the year? Accoring to Coach Pulvers, it was all about team chemistry. "The season is a sprint, not a marathon," says Pulvers. "Ï underestimated how quickly the guys would get along. They genuinely liked each other and bought in to our system." In trying to find the major cata- 1f . „ lyst for it1 • cihemistry, one need not his look further than Ben Crouse. For thefirstthree years of his collegiate playing career, Crouse competed at the University of Notre Dame, starting on their defense for most of his junior season. His arrival at CSUSM gave the program instant credibility; and more importantly, gave the young squad a leader. "Benny [Crouse] was the key," remarked Pulvers. "His experience and personality brought the team together." Crouse anchored the group both on and off the field, and his vocal leadership combined with his willingness to buy into the coaches' system set the tone early for the younger members of the squad. Crouse, a senior, was appointed captain early on by Coach Pulvers, because (in Pulvers' words) "it was a no-brainef." On the season, Crouse recorded 5 goals and 2 assists, and was named to the All-Region team - no small feat, given that CSUSM is not even in a conference. While Crouse brought leadership and rock-solid play, it was up to the freshmen to provide the flare - and they delivered. Forwards Michael Nuovo and Curtis Marcikic drove opposing defenses crazy with their speed and creativity. Nuovo, whose ability to weave through defenders produced some of the squad's most impressive plays of the year, finished second on the team with 9 goals. He also recorded the program'sfirst-everhat trick in a loss to Santa Cruz. Marcikic, who provided the attack with muchneeded size, tacked on 6 more goals as well as 6 assists.

Their first fight was a good one, which was mostly dominated by the Ice Man. However, Ortiz was an immature, cocky punk in their first fight; now he is a mature, cocky older punk. Ortiz has learned a lot since his loss to Iceman and will come out that night looking to take the Ice Man's belt. Chuck Liddell has been on a winning streak since beating Randy Couture for the belt over a year ago. This night also has the tfeturn of the Pit bull Andrei Arlovski, who is coming off his loss to Tim Sylvia.

The term began when O'Riley used Web 2.0 as the title for a series of conferences held during 2004. Web 2.0 generally refers to a second generation of websites. The new era for the internet consists of social networking sites and communication tools. Web 2.0 focuses on the user of the internet as the contributor of information. Together users form a type of informational network that other users benefit from. Web 2.0 seems to be a community on the internet. Other examples of Web 2.0 are wikipedia.com, myspace.com, youtube.com, and amazon.com. These sites all have one thing in common: that users can contribute to the website, enriching, the content that other users can potentially benefit from. Although Web 2.0 is the common term used for the new breed of websites, many people and technological companies are skeptical of the phrase for numerous reasons. Some people argue that by labeling these new web sites 2.0 implies that the new era is merely un update version of original or common websites such AOL 9.0 and AOL 10.0. They argue that Web 2.0 should be labeled entirely different. Others have labeled Web 2.0 as a buzzword that has negative the U.S. House of Representatives or the Senate. The election of a Democratic majority prompted the resignation of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Editors of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine times called for this resignation in a November 4th editorial. This editorial stated that "Donald Rumsfeld m ust go. ..Rutiisfeld has lost credibility with the uniformed leadership, with the troops, with Congress and with the public at large... [Rumsfeld's] strategy," says the Army times, "has failed, and his ability to lead is compro- mised. And although the blame for our failures in Iraq rests with the secretary, it will be the troops who bear its brunt." Some conservatives argue that Rumsfeld's departure will do nothing to fix the stalemate. "The issue isn't Rumsfeld, it's Bush and the prosecution of this war," said conservative talk show host and former San Diego Mayor Roger Hedgecock during an election night interview.

Some people accuse websites of labeling themselves 2.0 to generate hype and in return produce more money. Others are also accused of labeling their website 2.0 in hopes of creating, enough capital to induce a buyout from a larger company. The combination of the new era of websites and highly lucrative opportunities have led some economists to label this situation the new bubble, or Bubble 2.0, the second boom in the internet world. They are referring to the dot com boom and bust of the late nineties. Despite the controversies, Web 2.0 remains the official unofficial term for the new era of websites.

Last Tuesday, I covered the San Diego General Elections for "The Associated Press." It was the second time I covered an election day, and this time I learned a lot more than the first time. I also had a lot more fun since I got to cover it with my friend, Chantai Pasag, whose experience about the night is also detailed. I covered the Primary Élections in June for the "AP" and it was a terrifying experience, because I was so concerned with not screwing up. This time I had an idea of what was expected, so I was able to learn a lot about the behind the scenes type stuff involved with elections. I had the opportunity to ven- * ture into some rooms that many will never see, and meet some very interesting people. Around 2 AM, we were taken into the wherehouse where all the ballots and machines are taken from trucks and transported down an assembly line of people, eventually leading to the tabulation room. I felt like I was miniaturized, placed into some sort of a machine, witnessing gears operate and function like nothing I had seen before. I met David Morten when I covered the Primaries. I am not quite sure what his official title is, but he is good at his job. He passed the time with us past 3AM. He made the wee hours of the morning much more enjoyable as he provided someone to crack jokes with. I have never been comfortable around police officers or sheriffs, so you can imagine my discomfort when we spent most of the night around five sheriffs. I think they could see my discomfort, but by the end of the night we were all buddies. The security at the registrar of voter's building is quite intense. Even the lowest people in the bureaucracy question who you are, which led to me getting in some arguments, as you can imagine me with my "don't take crap" personality. Chantal and I have been members of the media for some time now, but this provided an opportunity to meet some new people in our profession. I met Sasha Foo from KUSI, a co-worker of Chantal's, who was very nice. I also met Carlo Cecchetto from KFMB News eight, who is a fellow Lakers fan, and had a lot of advice to offer about the T.V. media business. Since voting is a right and responsibility that people often times take for granted, it was great to feel like an important part of the process. Build your Resume more info; pride@csusm.edu BY CHANTAL PASAG Special to The Pride I have to admit I was "riding the high horse" this past Election Day as I had the privilege to work for one of the most prominent news sources in the nation, "The Associated Press." That night, the polls were about to close, and the line was still around the building. Unfortunately, for some last minute voters, they were cut off from trying to perform their civic duty. The way that some people react under stress is the way a voting machine reacts when being tampered with... they go ballistic. Under the pressures of voting, one woman proclaimed that "voting is not a right, it's a responsibility!" Recalling what she said post Election Day provoked the thought of the media's responsibility to report the number of voting machine glitches county wide, statewide, and nation wide. Fortunatelyrthe resignation of Donald Rumsfeld and the democratic take over of the house and senate saturated headlines. Of course it should, because that's huge! But what about the glitches? Apparently there were some problems at a polling location of a CSUSM professor. She says her husband got to vote twice because of technical difficulties with the machines. The "San Diego Union Tribune" reported on the matter saying glitches were reported in dozens of precincts earlier that day. Apparently, voters became frustrated as they were unable to use computerized voting machines and were "forced to use paper ballots instead." The role that I played election night, a reporter for the AP San Diego division, was pertinent to the entire election process. Just as the media, particularly television plays a pertinent role as an information outlet to our society. Most people look for convenience when it comes to information, but convenience lacks relevant information. So, not only is it our civic responsibility to vote, but it's our responsibility to seek out various news sources rather than relying on one. I've come down from my high horse since that night. The entire experience was very interesting. I got to converse with sheriff investigators about taser guns and I-pods, which was an unusual mix of small talk. Also, some cronies from my everyday job at KUSI stopped by for their live shots at the registrar of voter's office. I also had the chance to briefly chat with Carlo Cecchetto from KFMB channel eight. It's a nice dose of reality to know that most of the professionals I talked with had a good sense of humor. For the people in this industry, having a sense of humor is what keeps them sane, as the news can sometimes disconnect them from human suffering. As former comedian Victor Borge said, "Laughter is the shortest distance between two people."

I'm past my kegger days, and at restaurants when everyone else orders a beer, I order a pop. So you could imagine my surprise last week, when I tasted the Lightning Kolsch and actually liked it. A beer!? That I like! Lightning Kolsch doesn't leave that aftertaste in your mouth that leads you to wonder, "Why am I drinking this?" It tastes sweet, but not too sweet like a frou-frou fruity mixed drink. Also, it's locally brewed, so you'll be supporting the community! So if you're still searching for a beer that you enjoy the taste of, Lightning Kolsch is a great choice. BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride StaffWriter Housed with authentic German-styled brewing machinery, the beers Lightning Brewery makes are tasty and cheerful. Gearing up to celebrate their annual 'Lightning Fest'. at Churchills this Thursday, November 16, there will be plenty of Lighting Kolsch to go around. Coming in at a low 4.6% alcohol by volume, this beer is a delightful and sweet addition to any meal; so good, I just couldn't get enough of the citrus-flavored treat when I paired it with a scrumptious French dip. Designed to be a lighter beer that consumers can enjoy one round after the other, Lightning Kolsch will tantalize your taste buds and paint a warm glow on your cheeks; that is after two or three pints of course. I've tasted many a beer since turning 21, but this one might just take the cake as the sweetest, most spectacular beer I've ever4 had; heck, it's so sweet it could be a cake in itself. Drink of the Week B O N D M ARTINI BY DAVID-BAUER Pride StaffWriter martini that was shaken rather than stirred as a 'Bond martini'. Martinis are traditionally made with gin rather than vodka, and shaking vodka is generally avoided. When vodka, or any alcohol, is shaken it creates tiny air bubbles making it appear cloudy. These air bubbles prevent the alcohol from reaching all of the taste buds when it's drunk. Some vodka martini enthusiasts claim that makes the Bond martini the perfect palate cleanser. As Bond says in Casino Royale, "I never have more than one drink before dinner. But I do like that one to be large, I confess that I'm not a big beer fancier. I much prefer sampling from the vast array of pleasures that make up the cocktail cosmos. Lightning Kolsch, however, has nudged the door to a new realm of possibilities slightly ajar. Brewed by local Lightning Brewery, the Lightning Kolsch is a light, German-style beer meant for easy drinking. Light-golden in hue, this beer is low in alcohol but infinitely flavorful. The flavor, however, is a subtle one. The sweet malt flavor, combined with the fruity, floral aroma combine for a truly delightful drinking experience. From champagne to bourbon to Raki, throughout Ian Fleming's novels, James Bond tried a number of drinks. In Fleming's first novel "Casino Royale" though, James Bond laid out the ingredients to what would become his trademark drink: a vodka martini—shaken not stirred. Later in the same novel, Bond would name his drink "The Vesper" after the sensuous Vesper Lynd. For decades afterwards though, people would refer to any vodka and very strong, and very cold, and very well-made." And the drink is well made; the exact ingredients are given in the beginning of the novel, "a dry martini... in a deep champagne goblet... three measures of Gordon's [gin], one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet [vermouth]. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, and then add a large thin slice^of lemon-peel." Set off by the sharp citrus of the lemon, this martini is cool and refreshing and cleanses the palate. "Bruising" the gin by shaking it with ice, also adds additional water to the mixture as the ice is broken apart lightening the taste. This of course means that the Bond martini does not have much personality in itself and is not much of a stand alone beverage. As an Photo by Sophie Brink / The Pride aperitif it does quite well, however, unlike its namesake Vesper Lynd, it lacks personality, complexity and body. CD Review: Secret Apollo, "Homemade Time Machine" 9 # # ^ BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride StaffWriter As bizarre as they are, I can't help but love Secret Apollo. They are so inexplicable, and so weird that I found myself laughing more than I found myself cursing their repetitious chorus lines and crazy 18 tracks of noise on "Homemade Time Machine."

They have expressed outrage over his pale, blonde, blue-eyed visage. They've started webbased campaigns. They've even threatened to boycott. I say, go ahead. I do so hate an over-crowded theater. To be fair, however, I must admit my uncertainty over the decision to cast Craig as the larger-than-life super-agent. 1 have my favorite Bond, as Vm sure most of you James Bond f ans do. How would this newcomer stack up against my ideal 007? With somewhat jaded anticipation I awaited his debut. I've seen Bonds come and go. I'm used to the routine. Yet, when Daniel Craig uttered his first line as the famous spy, my cool composure started to melt. There's a new Bond in town, thought 1, and he's packing heat, all right. As the first of Ian Fleming's novels, "Casino Royale" seems the perfect vehicle for Craig's new Bond. It introduces the hero just as he is attaining "00" status. The audience witnesses his first two kills and, perhaps more importantly, his reaction to them. A rugged; ruthless Bond, Craig takes up the challenge begun by Timothy Dalton to humanize a character that had become, under Roger Moore's watch, a parody of itself to another level. With his electric blue eyes, perpetual pout, and painfully athletic approach to fight scenes, Craig's Bond seems the right combination of charm and grit. His is a bloody Bond, a fallible Bond, and, dare I say it, a vulnerable Bond. After a mission goes horribly wrong, Bond runs off to the Bahamas - to follow the trail of a poker genius, a banker by the name of Le M Qj\SINO ROYALE C hiffre (Mads Mikkelsen) whose client list includes infamous terrorist organizations. The stunning Eva Green (who starred in Kingdom of Heaven with Orlando Bloom) plays Vesper Lvnd, a British Treasury official with a sharp mind and a ready w it whose job is to provide and watch over Bond's stake in a poker game the outcome of which may bring terrorist operations crashing down. Judi Dench reprises her role as M, the no-nonsense head of M16, whose presence onscreen always adds a silvery highlight of pure class and whose feelings towards Bond seem as complex as ever. If her role in "Casino Royale" has a flaw, it is only that there is not enough of M in the film. Overall, "Casino Royale" is a delicate balance between blood and wit, which in itself is not Unusual; however, it is the gritty, engaging manner in which this new Bond alternately engages in fight scenes and delivers cheeky one-liners that wins my approval and hope that Daniel Craig will return as James, Bond in future films. "Casino Royale" will be in theaters 17 November.

Komen Breast Cancer Foundation coming to CSUSM BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation National Education Tour is coming to campus on Wednesday, November 15. The event that is also known as "On the Way to the Cure - Komen on the Go" will be held in the Kellogg Library Plaza from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The nine week tour has 36 stops; one of them being CSUSM. "They go to many campuses throughout the U.S. and we are fortunate to be on the tour," said Rita Ruhter, the special project coordinator for Health and Human Services here at CSUSM. The event was held last year and will probably be held again next year. "We would like to host them again next year but it depends on their National Schedule," said Ruhter. The six - hour event will include the "Komen On the Go" pink trailer. The event will also have computer stations, informational materials about breast cancer, breast selfexamination guides, opportunities for local involvement, and suggestions about how to be effective cosurvivors. Resources about where to go to for answers to questions about breast health and breast cancer will also be included, along with an eightfoot graffiti wall that will allow students to share their ideas about breast cancer. Prizes will be given away for those who participate. "It's a great educational event and we [will] also have breast cancer survivors on site to answer questions and lend support," said Ruhter. Nancy G. Brinker founded the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in 1982 in memory of her sister. Brinker lost her sister (Komen) to breast cancer. Komen was only 36 years old and left two children behind. Komen fought breast cancer for three years before the cancer over took her. From her encounter and personal experience, Brinker learned how the lack of knowledge on breast cancer played a significant role in her sister's death. Additionally, San Diego hosted VOL.

Most of them are free from the burdens of their classes until Monday. The professional staff members who work in the offices of the UVA have gone home for the evening. Tonight, out of the 15 Resident Advisors in the UVA, it is up to Jace Getskow and Alex Cohen to make the rounds, enforce the rules, and much, much more. 10:30 p.m.: The round* begin on the first floor of B. This is Matt Curran and Getskow'sfloor.It's relatively quiet thus far. Getskow and Cohen walk slowly, pushing on every door they walk by. A few of the door handles are broken, other doors are left ajar. Every so often, as Getskow and Cohen push and the doors and continue walking, a resident's curious face will appear in the hallway, wondering why their door suddenly slammed shut. "We're just checking the doors," they say to each resident. If a resident's door handle is broken, Getskow and Cohen advise them to fill in a work order at the front desk during business hours. "So no one walks in and takes a TV or anything," Getskow says. 10:50 p.m.: Getskow and Cohen are nearing the end of the second floor of B, Josh Freeman and Steven Butler'sfloor.Getskow and Cohen describe how most residents think their RAs are out to get them. "We're not here to hunt people. We're here to enforce rules." Cohen says. Getskow adds, "Our main concern is that no one's passed out on the floor." Most times, when they knock on doors, to ask students to quiet down, it's because they can hear them laughing loudly and playing music from two doors down.

This small office serves roughly 200 students from the surrounding communities who attend college courses hosted in local area schools to earn credit at CSUSM. The CSUSM SWRC (South West Riverside County) branch campus has offered classes for the last six years to students who are either currently enrolled at CSUSM or participating in the Open University program. Over the next few years though, due to an increase in the state budget it is antici- l^nes pated that this office will more than double its size, expanding to accommodate 500 students. Most of the CSU system schools in Southern California are clustered around the coastline, leaving students in areas farther east isolated. In order to allow students in these areas greater access to a university education, CSUSM established a satellite branch in South Western Riverside County in the city of Temecula. The system of building satellite campuses is not uncommon in the CSU system. CSU Channel Islands operates one in Camarillo, CSU Northridge operates one in Ventura, and in 1978 San Diego State University, built a satellite campus in North County, which in 1989 became CSU San Marcos. The CSUSM SWRC "campus" is really just an administrative office, that offers a few other services such as taking the Computer Competency Requirement Exam as well as limited academic advising. The classes at the CSUSM SWRC branch campus are held in the nearby classrooms in Temecula and Murrieta area schools. The classes, that number 11 for fall semester and 14 for last spring, are generally taught by CSUSM faculty and staff. Taught in classrooms mostly in Ronald Reagan Elementary School in Wildomar, and at Temecula Valley High School. The classes are generally smaller and offered in the evenings or early mornings. While there are some fulltime programs, most cater to part time and evening students. There are a few courses at CSUSM SWRC branch campus that are also focused on helping graduate students earn either the Multiple Subject Teaching Credential, or earn two of the pre requisites for any of the other credential programs at CSUSM. There are also some upper division general education courses offered for students, and some for those attempting to earn a degree in Liberal Studies. However, in order to meet all of the requirements for their degrees, students will need to take some classes at the main CSUSM campus. There are also limitations on the kinds of courses that can be offered at the branch office; an agreement with Mt./San Jacinto Community College's Temecula branch prevents CSUSM from offering competing lower division courses. Students at CSUSM SWRC branch campus are also limited to Social Sciences and Humanities classes, meaning that students with other majors will at most only be able to take a few general education classes at the SWRC branch; but that may change in the near future with the increased enrollment allowance and budget increase. With an increase in funding for the CSU system from the California state's general fund of $54 million for the 2006-2007 year, and the possible windfall if Prop ID passes, the SWRC branch will be able to increase the number of classes and services over the next few years. Program coordinators at the SWRC branch hope to expand to offer classes in Science and Math as well as offering Continuing Education activities. Their plans also include opening an actual campus facility for the program in Temecula.

With the iPod claiming Built into Apple's popular almost 73 percent share of the iTunes digital music distribu- market for portable music play- ers last year, some analysts see Apple's iPod well on track for replacing Sony's Walkman as the most popular portable audio product in history. This popularity combined with the CSUSM's willingness to embrace non traditional teaching methods, such as online and distance learning make podcasting lectures an attractive option for schools and a lucrative one for Apple. The flexibility of distributing material via podcast generally appeals to students, and the availability ofmaterial for students will probably be even more appealing to students who can download a lecture and listen to it anywhere rather than make the commute to campus. The ability for students with an internet connection anywhere in the world to listen to courses from CSUSM professors could change the way classes are taught and how we take college courses. Previously recorded courses could potentially be recycledfromprevious years and downloaded by incoming students as a cost cutting measure by some schools. It could also make professors tired of lecturing to empty classrooms implement mandatory attendance policies. Either way podcasting lectures may be the next step in thé evolution in teaching. "It might change the way we teach", wrote Professor Berghof.

The event, which was hosted by Fresno Pacific University, was held at Woodland Park in Fresno, CA on Saturday. Thanks to their performances, both Cougar teams are expected to be heading to Nationals in two weeks.

The senior has shown a dramatic improvement since her junior season, and her performance on Saturday is further proof that this is truly a breakout season for her. She finished the course with a time of 18:53.67, good for 19th place. Whitney Patton, who has been one of the squad's leaders throughout the year and helped carry them to their high national ranking, took 24th at the event. Right behind her was Morgan Sjogren in 28th, followed by Erin Hearn, who made her first appearance in the Cougars' top5 with a 41st-place finish. Other Cougars who competed include Aimee Bradley (45th) and Kristen Simek (60th). Concordia University made it a clean sweep on the day, winning the women's event as well. Azusa Pacific, Vanguard, and Point Loma Nazarene finished ahead of the Cougar women as well, but the squad should still make Nationals. For both the men and women, that event will be held on November 18th in Louisville, Kentucky.

He decided to drop his suspension appeal to the NFL office, because he realized the four games suspension would be upheld and if he waited any longer to start the suspension he would have missed both games versus the Denver Broncos. I enjoy watching Merriman play, probably more than any other defensive player in the league. If he had simply come to me for some advice on the matter, he might have had a chance against the league office. With that said, I present to you the top 10 excuses Shawne Merriman could have used to explain why he tested positive for steroids. 10 - "The lab technician who handled my urine sample was a Broncos fan. Now that I think about it, the guy who handed me the cup to urinate in looked an awfuHot like Jake Plummer." 9-"ItookasipfromBarry Bonds' water botde. At least I thought it was water.

That's how much I love my family.. .and cranberry sauce." 4 - "I guess I misheard the salesclerk at 'Radio Shack'. I thought he said check out the new stereos." 3 - "My nickname 'Lights Out' applies to more things than my playing ability. You see, sometimes the lights go out in my head and I black out for hours at a time. I can't be held responsible for what goes in my body during that period of time." 2 - "Recently I have become a big brother to a disadvantaged youth. One day I came upon him with a syringe in his hand. He said he was going to shoot up because he wanted to make it to the NFL one day. I wouldn't let that happen to a developing young boy, so I snatched the syringe from his hand and injected myself, just so he couldn't harm his own body. So, if you really think about it, I am a hero. Don't do drugs kids." 1 - "I couldn't stand to watch anymore Marty Ball, and I don't even play offense." Next time you athletes get into trouble, just come to me. No problem is beyond repair for me. Just contact me at Sando026@csusm. edu and I will have ten excuses for you to use, free of charge within 24 hours.

BY AMANDA ANDREEN "Plan B" is the most diverse song on the Pride Staff Writer album in terms of the stylistic choices made Better not sit down before you listen to by the band and the instruments used. It's this one. MuteMath is exactly like what you'd listen to if a squad of fifty police cars were chasing you down the 1-15 like a fugitive on "America's Most Wanted." That said, the opening number on the latest release from Teleprompt/Warner Records is a little on the softer side of the usual MuteMath fury. Don't let that stand in your way though. "Typical" still has enough guts to get your heart pumping. The four-piece New Orleans ensemble holds nothing back on this rockin' self-titled release. Clocking in at just over 63 minutes, MuteMath will have your palms sweating and your heart racing for a solid hour; that's better than putting in an hour of cardio at the gym, if you ask me. With 14 tracks of high quality mayhem and skilled musicianship, the vocals of lead singer Paul Meany are a little bit Sting meets John Mayer, but also slightly The MuteMath plays at the House of Blues. Shins meet Simon and Garfunkel. The sound is a mixture of several genres: rock, fast enough to rock out to, but still chill electrónica, rave, reggae, pop, new wave enough to cruise to between pockets of and j azz. Creating ambient songs that carry traffic on the freeway. Utilizing magical the listener from one track to the next, the homemade instruments and bursting with songs on "MuteMath" are different enough spontaneous bouts of energy throughout all THE PRIDE Math. Its fast tempo, chasing cymbals, and organ-esque breakdown paired with the heavy and echoing pipes of Meany fuse together seamlessly. "Stare at the Sun," is more tech than it is techno, combining multiple levels of distortion with electronic noises and guitar-heavy rhythms. The vocals on this song, however, smooth this number down, rounding it out as a fairly enjoyable listening affair. Speaking of affairs, seeing MuteMath live is by far an affair I'll never be able to forget. I had the opportunity to witness them live a little over a year ago when they opened for Mae at the San Diego House of Blues. MuteMath totally stole the show. They were thefirstband to play, and they could have very well been the only band that played that night None of the bands that followed the incredible show MuteMath put on came even close to the quality and showmanship MuteMath possessed that night.

This year's batch has done especially well, winning the Silver Medal at the 2006 Australian International Beef Awards and taking home the gold in the 2006 World Beer Championships. Deschutes 2006 Jubelale is a deep red-brown color. The head is frothy and an inch thick which disappeared after a few minutes leaving a small amount of lacing around the edges. The smell is crisp, sweet and well spicey with undertones provided by its warm toasted malts. The ale tastes sweet, fruity and spiced. It has a medium mouthfeel and good body. Perfect for the cold autumn and winter season, Jubelale is warming and delicious.

Photos by Amanda Andreen / The Pridd BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer "Hey, careful, man, there's a beverage here!" cautions The Dude, fearing for his precious potion while being shoved into a limousine. The beverage in question is the White Russian and its popularity increaseddramatically after Jeff Bridges starred as "The Dude" Lebowski, an L.A. slacker with a steady routine: "I bowl. Drive around. The occasional acid flashback." A Coen Brothers' film, "The Big Lebowski" introduced cocktail-lovers' far and wide to a little beverage that shares its name with the Bolsheviks' political opponents during the Russian Civil War. The White Russian is a simple, creamy cocktail composed of vodka, Kahlua and cream served on the rocks in an oldfashioned glass. Though by no means intensely sweet, the flavor j of the drink reminds me of an old-style hard candy like Werther's Original. Its creamy texture and smooth, warm sensation boosts its luxury factor - each sip makes me feel as if I'm indulging in something delightfully decadent. Considering that the classic White Russian contains cream, which can be substituted for with milk, it's a little, beverage that can be quite naughty to your waistline. Also, don't be fooled by its innocent appearance. Having more than one of these little beauties can make the unsuspecting drinker go from pleasantly warm and relaxed to downright debauched in surprisingly little time. Thus, unlike The Dude, I tend to reserve the White Russian for treats and special occasions. Making your own White Russian is simple: toss some ice into an old-fashioned glass, add 2 ounces vodka, 1 ounce Kahlua, and fill with light cream. Substituting Vanilla vodka (I use Absolut Vanilia) will add another subtle layer offlavor,making the drink taste even more like a delicious candy confection. Enjoy! Photo by Sophie Brink / The Pride �A THE PRIDE Movie review: ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer I've heard the song many times on the local country radio stations; I just never really connected it to the movie "Flicka," until now. Listening to it, though, in the car or at home, I've always found myself a little misty-eyed at the end of the song as it reminds "Flicka me of my own father. Now, sitting in an almost barren movie theater with a mob of 5-year-old girls a few rows over and the 9-yr-old boy I babysit looking at me like I'm" crazy, "My Little Girl," by Tim McGraw anthems as the credits roll, and I once again find myself mistyeyed. Inspired by the much-loved novel "My Friend Flicka," by Mary O'Hara, the adapted fulllength motion picture, "Flicka," is for those of all ages, especially for those young at heart. Starring Alison Lohman as Mary McLaughlin and a shaven Tim McGraw in his first acting role as Mary's father, "Flicka'Ms an endearing and enjoyable story of a 16-yr-old girl who discovers herself in the wild mustang she finds, befriends, and names Flicka. Determined to follow her family legacy and run her father's horse ranch, Mary finds the wild horse in the hills of modern day Wyoming, and quicklyfindsthat she and Flicka are more alike than she could have ever dreamed. Unwilling to give up her freedom, both Mary and Flicka face challenges and loss in the film. Capturing the connection that can be made between a girl and her animal companion, in this case a wild mustang, "Flicka" personifies the transition from adolescence to adulthood and the rocky journey one can experience along the way. Uesday, 7,2006 Tuesday; November 7> 2006 Ü J & C E- ^ A feel-sood Watching the interaction and realizations made by Mary in her relationship with Flicka, and through Mary and her relationship with her father, I found a deeper appreciation for the good things in life and the opportunities we all have each day to chase our dreams and become the person we wish to be. The transformation that happens within Mary, Flicka, and Mary's father in thefilmis humbling, and even though it's just a movie, it inspires a multitude of ideas and new hopes. Set in the lush and beautiful landscapes of the hills and mountains that decorate Wyoming, more than anything, the scenery and nature in "Flicka" awakened this urge and need inside myself to pick up and take off into the wilderness: to get back to nature, to be free from civilization, and to be free in nature's beauty. It seems that in the middle of nowhere, somewhere lost in Cre- il flick Images courtesy of 20th Century Fox ation, somewhere amidst the natural world, and somewhere away from everything is else is the exact place to take a moment to find yourself. A kid-friendly flick and tearjerker at times, "Flicka" is a film that gives you your money's worth, along with a few parting thoughts. Though it wouldn't be my first box office pick, I would highly recommend "Flicka" to anyone looking to do a little soulsearching. �Tuesday, November 7, 2006 THE PRIDE Photos by Sophie Brißi fThç If it � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Scheduled to take place during University Hour in Academic Hall, Room 111, the discussion is open to all students and a free lunch will be available to those who attend. The purpose for the domestic violence forum is to heighten alertness about the impact violence cañ have in everyone's lives, not just in women's lives. Morgan Hoodenpyle, Programming and Events Coordinator for ASI's Women Center and coordinator of the forum says, "People don't realize how hard it can be for [victims]—who are in a situation of domestic violence—to speak out. There are so many factors that can tie a person down into a violent situation, like financial restrictions, children, and prior history. Abusers can also isolate a victim, by gaining control of the victim's life and cut them off from other people." The intention of the discussion is to inform people about the psychological, emotional, and financial barriers that can handicap the victims of domestic violence. Another important point to keep in mind too, is that domestic violence doesn't always translate into physical abuse that results in bruises, cuts, or other visible ramifications.

In a man's lifetime, the odds of getting testicular cancer are about 1/300, and the survival rate after treatment is currently at 96%, states the ACS. According to the National Cancer Association, men are not only at risk for testicular cancer, but as most people aren't aware, men can also be at risk for breast cancer. Women, however, are largely at a much higher risk for breast cancer; 211,000 women were diagnosed with breast cancer last year, and over 43,000 women died from breast cancer last year as well. Comparatively, roughly 1,600 men were diagnosed with breast cancer in the U.S. in 2005, and 400 of those diagnosed lost their lives to it. Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer found in women and currently makes up 1/3 of the cancers diagnosed in U.S. women. In contrast, whereas testicular cancer is more common in younger men, giving UABC students a wide variety of classes to choose from. Nearly 15 CSUSM students have already signed up to join the UABC students throughout the day's events that include classes, lunch, and community service. There are currently five more spaces open for CSUSM students to volunteer to work alongside the UABC students. Along with participating students, President Haynes, Dr. Peter Zwick (Director of University Global Affairs), and Dr. Vivienne Bennett (Interim Director of the Center for Border and Regional Affairs) will welcome UABC students as they join for lunch in front of Kellogg Library during University Hour. After lunch, UABC students and the risk for breast cancer in women increases with age. The NCA declares that one in eight women will be affected by breast cancer in their lifetime. On the NCA website* ages and corresponding percentages of breast cancer incidence within the subsequent ten years of a woman's life are listed. For example, a woman who is 20 years old has a 1/1,985 chance; a 30-year-old woman has a 1/229 chance; a 40-year-old woman has a 1/68 chance; a 50-year-old woman has a 1/37 chance; a 60 year old woman has a 1/26 chance; and a 70-year-old woman has a 1/24 chance. Hoodenpyle later added, "For both breast and testicular cancer selfexaminations, there are easy steps and easy things everyone can do to help protect themselves, empower themselves and empower others by making information and knowledge available."

"Around the world, at least one in every three women has been beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused during her lifetime," is the statistic printed on the flyer for .the domestic violence discussion. "It's a global statistic," Hoodenpyle explains, "and when you think about it, what does that say about our own cultural and global perspective of women? What does it mean? How do we -address it? Where do we start to get national efforts to combat violence? Those are all things we hope to address."

With MCS readily available to students, this could be a new way to pass time during University Hour. volunteer CSUSM students will then caravan to Escondido where they will work together with Escondido Interfaith to refurbish lowincome housing. According to Darci Strother, the Director of the Office of Community Service Learning, "Both the UABC and CSUSM share a commitment to community service as part of our institutions' missions." Through the kind efforts offered by UABC and CSUSM students, our university will fulfill that goal, as well as UABC, as every UABC student in Tijuana must fulfill a community service requirement in order to graduate. This will be a wonderful opportunity for students to work together for the wellbeing of others. From CENTER, page 1 the Multicultural Center. "The new space will be significantly larger than the current space in Craven Hall 4110," Montevirgen adds. Yesterday during University Hour, LGBTA presented the "What is an Ally?" workshop which aimed to inform students of what an "ally" is and what an "ally" is not. Franklin says that the event "define [d] what an ally is and what an ally is not. Other than learning what an ally is, [students are] challenged to follow through with this knowledge and lend support [and] assist minimal power-powerless individuals, groups or organizations." "Joining the LGBTA is easy," Franklin says. "Coming to a meeting or joining our list are the first steps. How involved with LGBTA [one wants to get] is totally dependent on that individual."

However, in sifting through the m&ss of information on CSUSM's website, prospective graduate students will be able to successfully navigate this demanding course of education. This upper echelon of education is only available to those who have completed a four-year education and received an appropriate Bachelor's Degree. Prospective students must also have a grade point average of at least 2.5 and be in good academic standing with the last university they attended. Some programs require GRE scores. The GRE could be considered the SAT for graduating college students, if you will. The requirements are in the student's best interest, ensuring that they are prepared for the rigors of a graduate program. Students who are admitted to CSUSM's graduate program would be placed in one of four different graduate student classifications. Graduate Classified students are those who have met all requirements. A student who has not met all requirements may still be admitted as a Graduate Conditionally Accepted. Those seeking to enroll in a credential or certificate program would be admitted as a Post-baccalaureate Classified student. Individuals who wish to take classes few professional or personal growth would be classified as Post-baccalaureate Unclassified, and these students would be last priority in regards advanced positions in business, industry, and the public sector" to class enrollment.

This study will evaluate an investigational formulation of insulin taken by inhalation at mealtime to see if it can provide blood sugar control comparable to rapid-acting insulin injection (both in combination with long-acting insulin) in people with type 1 diabetes. Using rapid-acting insulin in your regimen helps more closely mimic the metabolism of people without diabetes and may reduce the risk of a dangerous hypoglycemic episode. If you qualify for this two-year research study, you will receive all study-related diabetes care and study medication at no cost, and may be compensated for time and travel. You will also get a glucose monitor and all diabetes supplies, including prefilled and disposable FlexPens® at no cost for the duration of the study.

Carly Ludwig was the top Cougar finisher, taking 86th. Coming off a win in its first competition ofthe fall, Tuesday's finish was a bit of a letdown for the team. On the difficult par72 6,259-yard course at Chula Vista Golf Club, no Cougar was able to break 80 during the two rounds of competition. Men's Soccer Posts Convincing 6-0 Win Over La Sierra; Defense Back on Track Mike Nuovo's two goals propelled the Cougar men's soccer team (11-3) to a convincing 6-0 win at La Sierra University on Wednesday. Earlier this month, CSUSM defeated La Sierra by a score of 4-0. Almost as important than the win itself was the fact that the squad's defense regained its form. In its first eleven games, the Cougars limited opponents to just seven goals. But in a weekend road trip against U.C. Santa Cruz and Menlo, the defense faltered, allowing seven goals in just the two games. Wednesday's match was the first since those games, and the defense bounced back better than ever, as did keeper Trent Painter. The offense was awfully good too, with forwards Curtis Marcikic and Mike Nuovo playing dynamic games. The Cougars controlled every phase of the match, out-shooting La Sierra Carly Ludwig led the squad in both rounds, shooting 83 on Monday followed by an 81 on Tuesday. Jennell French followed up a first-round 88 with an 82, good for second on the Cougars and 105th overall. Behind her were Danielle Pearce (8487), Adriana Bowman (85-86), and EllyseSiu (91-86). 4 The University of Denver, whose squad posted an impressive two-day team score of 582, won the event. BYU finished seven shots back for second, and U.C. Irvine took third with a score of 596. CSUSM's final score was 675. Women's Soccer able to hold onto lead, defeating La Sierra 3-2 rim. Crouse was able to tuck his shot into the bottom corner of the net. At the 43-minute mark, CSUSM would push its lead to 5-0. Miguel Jacobo hit a cross that found Brandon Zuniga, who made a nifty redirection towards the goal. The keeper would make the save, but Daniel Vasquez was there to clean up the rebound. The scoring was capped off in the 70th minute when Bradley Seidenglanz collected a loose ball, made a run through the defense, and beat the keeper. The 7-0 final score matches the squad's biggest margin of victory, which came in the September 7th win over San Diego Christian College. Next up for the Cougars is a home game against Chapman University on Friday, October 20. All fans are welcome to head down to Mangrum Field to cheer on their Cougars in the last home match of their inaugural season! Kickoff is at 4:00 p.m., with the women's team playing at 2:00 p.m. by a staggering total of 29-3, and earning ten corner kicks to their opponent's zero. The Cougar scoring came early and often. Off the opening kickoff, Curtis Marcikic split the defense for a one-on-one with the keeper, but was unable to convert. At the one-minute mark, Miguel Jacobo penetrated the defense, and struck a cross in front of the goal. A La Sierra defender tried to head it aside, but redirected it into his net for an own goal. But the Cougars wouldn't need that kind of luck on Wednesday. In the 11th minute, Curtis Marcikic slid a pass to Mike Nuovo behind the defense, and Nuovo was able to slip it under the keeper. Just two minutes later, the same duo teamed up for another goal, with Marcikic once again finding Nuovo behind the defense. Three minutes after that, the Cougars earned a free kick in La Sierra territory. Chris Wyatt surprised his opponents by taking the kick quickly, and finding defender Ben Crouse making a Photo By Jason Encabo / Pride File Photo Women's Soccer Able to Hold Onto Lead, Defeats La Sierra 32 Reversing what has become a painful trend over the last month, the CSUSM women's soccer team (4-8-1) was able to successfully close out L a Sierra on Wednesday, edging out a 32 victory. The win snaps a twogame losing streak. It was the Cougars' second victory over La Sierra this season, both of which have come by 3-2 scores. On the season, CSUSM has struggled in one-goal games, losing five of six of such matches before Wednesday. But the team has persevered, and is finally being rewarded for its hard work and effort. At La Sierra, the Cougars came out on fire, getting on the scoreboard in the second minute. Miquella Martinez, who played a terrific game overall, crossed a ball to Randi Leyva. Leyva was able to strike the ball out of mid-air, knocking it into the lower-right corner. With a 1-0 lead, the squad went into a bit of a lull, and La Sierra capitalized. They equalized the score in the 22nd minute when Shelley Bun hit a corner kick to Starlena Murray, and Murray was able to finish. The 1-1 score would hold up through halftime. After halftime, the Cougars would regain the spirit they had early in the game. In the 64th 'minute, Miquella Martinez once again set up a teammate, this time Kelly Wherry. Martinez played a ball across the top of the box, Wherry controlled it, and drove it into the upper right corner of the net. Seven minutes later, the Cougars pushed the lead to 3-1. Clarissa Hidalgo made one of her trademark rims through the defense, and was able to beat the keeper with a strong finish. Though the squad was able to hold on for the win, it would not come as easily as Coach Ron Pulvers would have liked. With one minute left, Shelley Bun brought La Sierra back within one, and the possibility of another lategame disappointment was suddenly evident. However, CSUSM was able to hang on, winning the game 3-2 for their fourth win of the season. In what was an all-around strong effort, both the back and front lines had strong games. The Cougars will try to keep the momentum going when they face off against Chapman University on Friday. The game will be played at Mangrum Field at 2:00 p.m., so come on out and support your Cougars! Photo By David Gatley I Pride File Photo Men's Cross Country takes 2nd, women place 4th at Fullerton; Mejia breezes to another win Men's Cross Country Takes 2nd, Women 4th at Fullerton; Mejia Breezes to Another Win At the Fullerton Invite on Friday, the CSUSM men's and women's cross-country teams looked sharp, finishing 2nd and 4th, respectively. Cougar Juan Mejia won the men's event easily, while Bonghabih Shey led the women's squad with a 9th place finish. The event marks Mejia's second consecutive win. Last week at Vanguard, he crossed the tape 48 seconds before the any other runner in thefield.This time around, Mejia had 33 seconds to catch his breath before the second place finisher arrived. Mejia's 25:49 is in line with his times at other events this year, and his potential at regionals and nationals is off-the-charts. Mejia wasn't the only Cougar who looked great in the team's final tune-up before Nationals. With the squad's usual #2 runner Phil Hoffman, finishing 31st, sophomore Mike Crouch picked up the slack in a big way. His time of 26:25 was good for fourth-place, and a mere 3 seconds behind second. Crouch was one of eleven runners whofinishedwithin 33 seconds of second-place - making Mejia's margin of victory all the more impressive. On the women's side, Bonghabih Shey continued her string of strong finishes, taking 9th place with a time of 18:39. It was the second time that Shey, already an accomplished track athlete, led the cross-country team this fall. Whitney Patton, who has led the squad in the events Shey hasn't, took 18th. Olympia Olguin backed up a strong 19th-place finish at Vanguard by taking 27th on Friday. She's been a pleasant surprise this year for Coach Steve Scott, and has improved tremendously since last year. Overall, the Cougar women finished with a time of 1:35:05, good for fourth place. Cal Coast TC won the women's 5k event by running 1;30:45, and UC Santa Barbara finished second. Santa Barbara won the men's 8k event with a total time of 2:13:36, 36 seconds better than the secondplace Cougars.

MLB has put all of their advertising money for the playoffs into the lap of an 80-year-old white guy. The only people who, know Lasorda are die-hard baseball fans, and MLB already has that person coming to the ballpark. If MLB wants to regain any popularity that it once had, it needs to use its money on someone that can appeal to the casual fan, the fan that is younger than 80 years old. The NBA is misguided as well, but at least they're trying. If you haven't noticed, the NBA is a game that is dominated by African-Americans, with a few good white guys thrown into the mix. It is no secret that Hip-Hop (not the music, but the lifestyle) is synonymous with the NBA. So, my question concerns why David Stern, the NBA commissioner, is trying to change the sport. Look at what Stern is doing with all of these rule changes. Last season he instituted a dress code. He said that dress clothes had to be worn immediately before and after games. As soon as an NBA player enters an arena, he has to suit up. Before this rule, players showed up at press conferences wearing the types of clothing brands that NBA fans wear; "Rocawear," "Ecko," "Sean John,'' etc. Basically, types of clothing that is associated with "minority" groups and the younger generation. Stern has always tried to attract an older white audience, but what he doesn't seem to understand is that they aren't ever going to be interested in the NBA. The only thing that he is doing is diminishing the largest consumer audience around. MLB and the NBA also need to take a page from the NFL on hoiw to handle disciplinary issues. Look at what is taking over the headlines right now in both sports. MLB has all these steroid problemsfloatingaround. Someone actually has to get caught with a needle in their arm to actually be found guilty, and they have to be caught like 30 times before they are kicked out of the sport. In the NBA, Steven Jackson and his off-court crusade with a gun outside of a strip club is only one of the many incidents from an NBA player of late. I am assuming the disciplinary action taken by the NBA will be minuscule, if at all, against Jackson. In the NFL, if you screw up you are banished to Canada, like Ricky Williams. I guess what I am basically saying is that I should be commissioner of the NBA and MLB.

Recently, the U.S. Senate rejected a proposal to raise the minimum wage that would have%ffeSted 11% of the workforce or about 14.9 million Americans. Many states, including California, are raising the minimum wage through state legislatures, but the same old story is been played out again in other areas. States like Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana do not even have state minimum wage laws, leaving the already impoverished Southern states even further behind the curve. While this may have a small impact as us as Californians, it is important to America as a nation to promote a strong workforce. It becomes difficult for workers to insist on their own rights and fair wages when people in other parts of the country are not afforded those same rights. The emerging global markets require a level of high education to stay on top of the game. The only way to achieve this on a large scale in America is to ensure that all people at least have a basic level of comfort. Many people entering the middle class fear that a raise in the minimum wage will affect their wages negatively, but essential workers will always be compensated for the expertise that they bring to the job. Many cities and even suburbs in America are experiencing high levels of crime due to poverty?the only way for poverty to be alleviated is through the rise the wages of the workers that are at the lowest end of the spectrum, minimum wage laborers. It is hard to imagine conditions worsening, but the Senate, in its vote against a minimum wage increase, has ensured that conditions will worsen for those that depend on compensation from our nations largest corporations. -MicahBearce m ake i nformed, h eal c onfident choices 760.744.I SWIM INSTRUCTORS!!! $ 11 0 0 - $ 18.00 p er h our C u s t o m e r S e r v i c e : $ 9.00 C all ( 760)744-SWlM 277 S.

I think that if Hollywood is going to interpret a historical period of time, and a loathed French queen at that, they could have spiced things up a little bit. Isn't that what the money from our tickets goes to anyways? ^ Painfiilly clocking in at 118 minutes, the action r and plot of the story didn't even kick in until the final 40 minutes. On a side note, all who are familiar with the actual history and the details of Louis XVI and Marie will find this movie rather forced in terms of its timeline of events; and for those going in cold (unaware of the historical facts), don't take this movie as a depiction" of what really happened. The film basically locks Marie and the audience up in Versailles, trailing Antoinette around the palace, documenting her frivolity and life as a spoiled, royal socialite, Hinting at affairs, rumors, scandals, stagnant sexuality, and bizarre extravagance, Coppola barely scratches the surface in her portrayal of the publicly-hated Dauphine. With no inner transformation or conflict in Antoinette's character that the audience is able to relate to —other than Louis XVIs disinterest in consummating his marriage— the film's blandness outweighs its beautiful production. I kept waiting for something to happen and A| nothing did: no evil villain swept in to steal .«¿AgS the show, there was no beheading, and no J M windows were broken as a result of the Jjj French Revolution that was happening É | just outside the palace door. All in all, ^ H ^ B H R B the film just felt unfinished. a^Hffi^H Other historical biopics that I have J Ê seen, like "Amadeus," "Malcom É • X," "Ray," and "Kinsey," are MHBBI better examples of films that portray the characters from a HB perspective that audiences J9 can identify with. "Marie É Ê B ^ ^ Ê K Ê Antoinette" just doesn't hit JH home for me. I felt misled as a consumer, and when 9 É f l B | | all was said and done, I ^ ^ H f l i just wanted my two hours j P B M f f and ten bucks back. I would have much rather watched Marie Antoinette (Kirsten Dunst) rock out to some Vivaldi instead of The Cure and Bow Wow Wow. Don't get me wrong. I love The Cure, just not as a musical backdrop for the French queen gallivanting about Versailles in the late 1700s. Directed by Sofia Coppola, "Marie Antoinette," is a beautiful and airy inspection of the life of the young Austrian, Marie Antoinette, who is betrothed to Louis XVI in order to bolster relations between Austria and France. The film highlights the shortcomings that Marie Antoinette experiences as she struggles to become accustomed to the traditions and routines of her newly acquired position. I'll start by saying that this movie was nothing like I expected it to be. Going into it I anticipated this film to be something like the 1996 remake of William Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet" with Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio. The overlay of modern music and conjk temporary attitudes towards sex, drugs, and rock 'n I roll distracted me at too many points throughout the I film. Detracting from the façade of elegant deserts |F and ornate dresses, the humane Marie Antoinette that the movie tried so hard to portray was almost lost in Coppola's zealous ambition. Aside from the beautiit ful period detail in costumes, hairstyles and decor, there isn't really any substance to this film; in % fact, as an audience member it's hard to stay k 1 afloat in the over-processed images of an 18th f century France. Moreover, Jason Schwartzman who plays Louis XVI, I feel, is greatly miscast. Even though his character in the movie is rather aloof, as an actor he lacks the energy and ability to bring Louis XVI to life. Not that there was particularly any chemistry between Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI in any i f l H p n | k history books, but a little more chemisV^Br try on screen—I mean it is Hollywood |W we're talking about—would have kept *¥ the audience awake long enough to watch the end ^ W j V credits. As for Dunst, she seems to struggle \ m j f i w i with her role. Though it doesn't require all iW ¥ that much depth, or even that many speakI* I ing lines aside from "Let them eat cake!" on L 2 screen Dunst is a lack-luster teenage queen. •k T M * Overall, I felt that there was much more ^ H I H ^ R l SBIBR � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Enthusiastic CSUSM students welcomed the visiting students and led them to selected classes to attend. After attending two classes, UABC students gathered with CSUSM students for lunch outside of the library on the secondfloorpatio. On the patio, students talked with each other over roast beef, ham, and turkey sandwiches, cookies, potato chips and Arizona iced tea.

In my time on this campus I have met some very knowledgeable people when it comes to sports. As much as I may think I know, these guys have taught me something new at one point or another. You may remember some of these names if you read "Jock Talk" on a regular basis, but I finally found a way to introduce you to some of the other people on this campus who are involved in the sports world. -Josh Sandoval Mavericks over Suns (Defense plus Dirk equals Domination) Nets over Bulls (Kidd, Carter, Jefferson plus great draft) Nets over Mavericks (Nets make up-tempo popular again) Rockets (Yao I McGrady experiment still doesn't work) Hornets (Finish above.500 and make playoffs) Kobe Bryant (Lakers) (Should've got it last season) Lawrence Frank (Nets) (Title sinks this award) Adam Morrison (Bobcats) (Plenty of minutes in Charlotte) Suns over Clippers (Stoudemire gets them over hump) Pistons over Bulls (Team chemistry pays off) Suns over Pistons (Suns outshine Pistons) Heat (Complacent Shaq wont hold up) Rockets (Two words: Bonzi Wells) Tracy McGrady (Rockets) (Bounces "back" from injuries) Scott Skiles (Bulls) (They'll win 55 plus) R andy F oye (Timberwolves) (Dwayne W adeesque player) S uns over R ockets (Stoudemire's B ack!)

Fernando Brown Fernando Brown's name.is reo&gmzable from the sports articles that appear in this paper. Before Fernando joined the newspaper I could count on one hand the number of articles written about CSUSM athletics. Paul Baimbridge Paul Baimbridge is a name you might recognize from the article I wrote about the Padres' ninth inning collapse against the Dodgers. You will get to know his name even more next semester, since he will be the baseball and Softball beat writer next semester. Mike Millburn Mike Millburn is someone you may know if you listen to "XX Sports Radio" on 1090AM or watch "The Prep Pigskin Report" on KUSI. He is the guy on the radio that the broadcasters refer to as "Head", because of the big melon in between his shoulders. He works as a board operator and producer for those two companies. Kyle Trembley Kyle Trembley is a well of information regarding campus athletics. He is the guy who makes Fernando and I look smart in articles about campus sports, because if we have a question we go to Kyle. Along with being the Sports Information Director for CSUSM, you may have seen his sports briefs in the paper. �Halloween around the world BY SABRINA BAGLEY Pride Staff Writer spirits of one's ancestors return to visit their mortal relatives.

These Buddhist holiday. It is believed, days of crafts, cooking, and flowthat each year during Obon, the ers hold great meaning for many Hispanic families. The Ching Ming observance had its beginnings as the original religion in China. Ancestor worship is the only native religion to China. All others* including Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, were imported from outside of China. Confucianism and Taoism originated in China but are philosophies rather than religions. This remnant of ancestor worship is celebrated with the maintenance of tombs the offering of food and other essentials, and displays of respect. Sometimes, a family will set off firecrackers to ward off evil spirits. Walpurgis Night, celebrated in Germany, Sweden, and the Czech Republic, is a night of warding off witches. In Germany, whips are cracked and horns are blared. In Sweden, bonfifes are added to the noise. In the Czech Republic, people spread grass or sand on the doorstep in the belief that witches can not enter a house before counting the blades of grass or grains of sand. Celebrated on April 30, this day is an old pagan festival, which borrows its name from Saint Walburga. The most common association of Halloween is with Pagan celebrations. According to Pagan expert, Eva Snyder, "Halloween Photo by David Bauer / The Pride is magical. It is the time when the veil separating the realms of the living and the dead is thinnest, permitting contact between the two worlds," she says. "The lines between past, present and future are also blurred, allowing the impossible to happen." These pagan celebrations are often misconstrued and falsely have negative and dangerous connotations. American celebrations of Halloween have little to do with ancestor worship. Rather, costumes and candy abound, and trick-or-treating is enjoyed by children. Jack-o-lanterns, also a Halloween staple, have quite the interesting history. The Jack-olantern custom probably comes from Irish folklore. As the tale is told, a man named Jack, who was notorious as a drunkard and trickster, tricked Satan into climbing a tree. Jack then carved an image of a cross in the tree's trunk, trapping the devil up the tree. Jack made a deal with the devil that, if he would never tempt him again, he would promise to let him down the tree. According to the folk tale, after Jack died, he was denied entrance to Heaven because of his evil ways, but he was also denied access to Hell because he had tricked the devil. Instead, the devil gave him a single ember to light his way through the frigid darkness. The ember was placed inside a hollowed-out turnip to keep it glowing longer.

From asking the students it seems to be a pirate or a ninja. A representative from CC & CO Costume Shop, a shop that has been in business for the past 21 years in Temecula, says that the most popular costumes this year are pirates for couples; nurses and cops for females, and that most guys were dressing as part of a couple, or just came i n, to get a mask. If this is true, then what does it say about us? I asked some students how they feel about people flaunting their sex appeal on Halloween with racy outfits for girls and pimp costumes for the guys; and there were two common answers. One was that it's an excuse to dress in ways one normally wouldn't in hopes of attracting attention from other people. The other idea was that it's just Halloween, and costume choices are not taken seriously by people. Halloween is meant to be a fun time with or without parties; so are we being too analytical? or are people really going overboard with sex appeal for the holiday? Either way, it's a time to dress up as something one isn't and fool others around you. It's a time to enjoy the weekend or the night and have no worries but the cavities one might wake up with the morning after. Website of the week: homestarrunner.com BY AMANDA RUTHERFORD Pride Staff Writer Homestarrunner.com was once a humble site made by two brothers for the entertainment of the un-entertained. Each week there would be one or more new cartoons on the site. It didn't have much fame five or so years ago, but the true fans knew what it was and know what it is today. Brothers Matt and Mike Chaps created the website and all of its animations and games, with Matt in charge of the art and programming and Mike performing all of the voices of the characters (except for the voice of the site's one female, which is performed by his Wife Melissa Palmer). The finances of running the Homestar Runner website and its webbased store had been handled by their father, Don, until he passed away earlier this year. Today the site is booming with new characters and new things to do. For all the original fans that know of this site, all the old cartoons and shorts and such can all be found in the museum section. There are cartoons featuring the slow witted, lisping, Homestar Runner—the website's main character. Other characters also recur in cartoons on the site such as the ridiculously pompous, luchador-mask-wearing, Strong- bad and his tiny yellow accomplice, The Cheat, who Strongbad describes at one point as looking "like some kind of cheese... or anvil," and who only communicates through mumbles and squeaks. The cartoons are centered on the characters' adventures and interactions. There are also games, and videos starring puppet versions of the characters and other features as well. One popular feature is that viewers can send emails to be answered by the character Strongbad in a cartoon, which usually consists of several minutes of Strongbad humorously criticizing everything about the email and its a plush The Cheat that squeaks author.

Residing in whaf have inevitably become overdeveloped condominiums and commercialized residences, what is now San Elijo Hills, was once a spiritual and even haunted area dubbed "Questhaven." No doubt many San Diego residents have unknowingly driven through Questhaven as it's a surefire shortcut to Escondido that spits travelers out from Rancho Santa Fe Road to Auto Parkway in less than four minutes. The short drive through Harmony Grove and Elfin Forest not only feels like something out of "The Twilight Zone," but it also feels like a mindless time warn.^ . Rumored to once be inhabited by Gypsies and their social kin at the turn of the 19th century and welp into to the 20th century, legend has it that when other natives of the land and cjdzens of local communities came in and drove off the Gypsies, slaughter- ing those who stood in their way, the Gypsies cursed the land of Elfin Forest. Perhaps this curse was the impetus f or many of the . urban legends that have accumulated throughout the years. Coincidentally, there are also accounts of Northern Diegueno Indians inhabiting the land more than 9,Q00 years, using it as a sacred space for burials and-peace offerings. With curvy roads* creepy trees growling over the paths, and eerie sights" and sounds, Questhaven embodies many fears that seep into the holes of the collective subconscious, lending to the idea that this; place generates a supernatural power that tests ther nerves and wills of innocent visitors. With no cell phone reception, or friendly places to look to with pleas for help, if rumors hold true* the horrors o£Questhaven sound overwhelming for any one person to face alone. A few locations that are glor rjfied tin the tales of Questhaven are the stòrie s*of thè abandoned i insane asylum and the legendary cult house. With gates anà barbed wire lining the property, an old wooden fence sign deCojates the entrance to the ruins pf the rumored insane asylum with sleeping elves shyly painted on Back road leading through Questhaven and surrouriding area. The Elfin Forest sign located above the gate into Questhaven. it, reading "Elfin Forest." Behind the torn and defiled fence lays acres ofland and building foundations left in shambles; Defended by? armies of nocturnal spirits and savage animals, the danger of trekking across the depths of Questhaven sounds high from the word of mouth reported accounts ef paranormal activity. As for, the cult house, well, there' are' many mock "Blair Witch" films that high schoolers and amateur filmmakers Have endeavored to n ^ e ^ g n , the Questionable cult pfoperty. Most of which describe scenes of nooses hanging from burned trees, broken bones and skulls crushed into the mulch and brush, unearthly cackles and noises flying around in the night air—the rumors have even fabled that when said filmmakers go back to review their footage that there is just black static that fills the screen and curdling screams that sound off in the distance. Furthermore, what would Questhaven be if there weren't spinetingling urban myths attached to fend off the faint of heart? When researching Questhaven, there are a few prevalent myths, as well as others that rise to the top. The first tells a tale of a ten-foot white owl that roams the midnight and * moon-laden sky above the spooky trees. The make informed, he confident cholci 7 60 .744.13 ghostly owl sneaks .about preying on naive young people who enter the forest. If the visitors are in their ear, the owl lands atop of the car and possesses several ways of murdering the vehicle's passengers. If the visitors are on foot, it swoops down to capture them and sacrifices them. There are other stories about the owl; however, many do hot speak of the owl iri fear of repercussion. The second myth tells of a witch that haunts Elfin Forest. Stories of the witch solicit extreme caution should one choose to enter the forest, for hers is the deadliest and scariest of stories. The witch has been in the forest since the persecution of the Gypsies. She rides the roads of the forest on a ghost black stallion. With a black cloak the covers her face and body, the night-riding ghost horse and witch have omnipotent vision and senses and can feel when a stranger or intruder has entered the forest. It is said that once one enters the forest and Questhaven, that then the witch marks that person, leaving no physical indication, but more of a spiritual mark on that person so that if that person were to ever enter the forest again, that they would then be killed instantly by the witch. Those who have experienced this tell tales of hearing no hoof prints or galloping stallion, no; that the witch and her mountfloatalong in the shadows. Never in clear sight, her victims will never really know what they see when .they, witness her. It is also rumored that by chance if victims do see her eyes, as they pierce a ray of green light, that they are immediately killed.

Upon further investigation, it has been found that there is a religious retreat center, called the "Questhaven Retreat, Church of the Holy Quest," that sits on 640 acres of wilderness. Some speculate that it is this retreat center, which was erected in the early 1940s that is mistaken for the insane asylum and the cult house. However, there are no official records that haves been found linking that theory, or linking the legends to the retreat center. As there is no record of any insane asylum existing in Elfin Forest, Harmony Grove, or Questhaven, rumors apparently hold more weight in the chance of experiencing supernatural activity. For now, Questhaven truly remains a mystery, as the stories and sensations that haunt it continue to be aggravated by the growing population of inhabitants. One thing remains certain though, no one will ever really know what lies beneath Questhaven or lurks in the shadows in Elfin Forest. MI^nädS 277 S.

The ghost punches, the throwing of a fight so we can have De La Hoya vs. Mosley 2.1 think the fans of professional boxing are tired of fixed fights or two guys dancing around each other because both of them are afraid to throw a punch.

The event took place on Thursday, October 26, in the Clarke Field House in the Grand Salon. Approximately 70 people attended the reading according to Mark Wallace, an assistant professor of Literature and Writing Studies here at CSUSM. Dinh has traveled all over the globe, and the knowledge of other cultures appears in his writing style. He has written two collections of stories, three books of poems, and a series of anthologies. He is currently working on a novel. Dinh chose to read from "Borderless Bodies," "American Tatts," and "Blood and Soap." "Mark managed to place an article about the reading in the Union-Tribune. I knew, or at least hoped, that ordinary people would be coming to the reading, not just students. I decided to read poems and stories that ordinary people could relate to. I'm not an academic person but a blue collar, mostly self-taught guy who writes poems," said Dinh. "Before my recent breaks, I was a regular working class dude. I spent 15 years as Drink of the Week a housepainter, and 3 years as a house and office cleaner," said Dinh. Dinh was asked to visit CSUSM because "he's one of the best poets andfictionwriters currently writing in this country," said Wallace. The readings generated much laughter amongst the guests who included CSUSM students and members of the community. I enjoyed all of Dinh's readings. I loved his witty humor and play on words. Despite the immense laughter, Dinh's readings sent quivers to my heart and waves to my brain. My favorite parts were "nude pictures of you sold back to you at a discount" and "working jobs that were beneath him knowing that it was punishment for leaving his family behind and the chaos that awaited him upon return." The majority of Dinh's readings were short prose poems. He also read multiple one-sentence stories. I never imagined so much content could be contained between the first capital letter of a sentence and the ending period. "[My favorite part was] his sense of humor. I didn't expect to laugh so much. I also loved his paradoxical love poems and the one sentence stories," said Lea Vergara, a Literature and Writing Studies major. "It is very hard to be a writer in this society, You will have many challenges ahead of you, but if writing is something If you are feeling like you missed out, that you must do, something that you must it's because you did.

Within recent years however, in San Diego County particularly, red ales have become increasingly popular and available. Last week we tried AleSmith's Evil Dead Red; this week we'll look at local red ale: Pizza Port's Shark Bite Red. Brewed and served at all three of Pizza Port's breweries, this delicious microbrew is also available in bottle and as a draft in some local bars. To understand what makes red ales different and unique first requires a little brewing background. After a beer has been initially brewed, it enters into a stage of fermentation. At this point, the brewer adds (or "pitches" as it's called) yeast to the brew. This yeast converts sugars present in the brew into juicy cocktail, however, I sat up and took notice. I confess to being enchanted by its name, the source of so many legends.

The various types of yeast used, and the temperature it is done at, determine whether the beer will eventually become an ale or a lager. When brewers first began making beer they could only create ale. This is because ales are brewed in warm temperatures with top-fermenting yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) over a short period of time. As refrigeration was introduced and brewers learned to work with and manipulate yeast, lagers, which are brewed for longer periods of time in colder temperatures with bottom-fermenting yeast (Saccharomyces uvarum), became the most popular beers. Red beers were created after the legalization of home brewing in 1976. Home brewers, trying new and innovative techniques, discovered that by using certain malts in the mash, they could create a beer with unique red, burgundy and amber hues. These beers, which usually contained car- amel or roasted malts, have unique colors and flavors. These brews can be used to create both ales and lagers. Due to the popularity of red beers, some breweries have begun adding red dye to some beers and claiming that they are red beers. This practice detracts from the unique taste and innovative style of real red beers, giving them a bad name. Pizza Port's Shark Bite Red, on the other hand, is an excellent example of an excellent red beer. The beer pours a burgundy red with a thin,fizzy,white head/The head generally fades fairly quickly leaving little sheets of lacing on the sides of the glass. As it pours you can also begin to smell the 9.2% alcohol by volume Content in the beer's aroma. Brewed with Centennial and Cascade hops, it smells full and hoppy, but fully balanced with lots of rich malts and a hint of citrus. It's not particularly high in carbonation, but it also doesn't have an overly flat feel tp it. This beer has a very sweet and toasty malt taste. Like most San Diego ales however, it is also deliriously hoppy with a noticeable alcohol bite. Shark Attack Red is a very fullbodied beer with a bold mouth feel. Its aftertaste is nutty, spicy and hoppy. With such strong flavors* and high alcohol content, however, it is definitely a red beer best enjoyed one or two at most in a session. �Tuesday, October 31,2006 il iX/ J^ THE PRIDE CD Review: Keep your "Eyes Open" for Snow Patro BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer ^ ^¡f* ^ It's rare when a band is able to grab a hold of your heart—onto the fragile strings of your emotional core— and rim away with it. Snow Patrol does no less, in fact, much more than that. From Ireland, Snow Patrol isn't new to the scene. With their invigorating attitude, once again they open their mouths, and aptitude -for musical catharsis and dare listeners to become vulnerable. "Eyes Open," the latest fulllength to travel across the seas from the Celtic homeland, is as intimate as it is rock. Probably the best cut off the new record is "Chasing Cars." With its deep message, exquisite instrumentation, and brutal yet beautiful lyrics, "Chasing Cars" hushes my soul to ease, begging me to close my eyes and just let go. An honest and introspective love song, the breathtaking insight poured into the song offers the listener a ballad that embraces the essence of drama. Photos courtesy of www.snowpatrol.com Having spent the past two years on the road, traveling the globe amidst the splash of "Run," their prior anthem off the 2004 release "Final Straw," Snow Patrol spent much of 2005 recording "Eyes Open" along the Irish coastline. In a studio that allowed the members of Snow Patrol to awaken to waves crashing at the foot of the cliffs below them, Snow Patrol slowly breathed life into "Eyes Open," capturing the sensory effects of living on the edge of a cliff. Theater Review: BY BRANDI BLAHNIK Pride Staff Writer Admittedly, I found the disclaimer for the CSUSM Visual and Performing Arts Department's new production, "Wonder of the World," intriguing. A play at CSUSM with mature language and adult themes? Let me assure you it is not a caution, but a promise. David Lindsay-Abaire's sometimes odd, sometimes touching writing propels this work to its climax with laughs to spare. This two-hour play directed by Katie Rodda is a delight and, with plenty of genuine, my-tummyhurts laughs along the way, will leave you wondering where the time went. The story begins with the captivating scene of a woman packing. Cass, played by Jessica Swan, is leaving her life behind for a chance at a more exciting one. When her ( A|r^|fcissi|iger) |feoi|es marriage troubles surface and we^re ^brtoelled ita | oy^\y|(|ass thrfrugh^hdr jotlrney. Along her voyage, Cass meets—scratch that—barges her "Make This Go On Forever" is my next favorite track. The tempo of "Make This Go On Forever" paces and then drops off with a lone piano pounding away in the background, creating a feeling of a grandeur, sounding like the beginning of what could build into a one-song record. Gary Lightbody, vocalist and song-crafter for the five-piece band, empties so much grief into this song through his voice. lt is truly moving. "Set the Fire to the Third Bar" projects a slight Sigur Ros feeling within the vocals and ambient textures, but the building of the duet between Lightbody and Martha Wainwright is classic Snow Patrol: soft and piercing. . I am also very partial to the album's closer, "The Finish Line." Wrapping up the ten tracks with echoing Celtic vocals lingering above the breathy pauses, the vocals and song construction sound much more natural for Lightbody than some of the other tracks do, showcasing a more culturally native side of Snow Patrol that isn't as prevalent in other releases. A song that feels patriotic in the sense that it's patriotic to Snow Patrol, "The Finish Line" contains crisp lyrics and layers upon layers of textured sound effects. A fitting end to a solid effort put forth by Snow Patrol, the album as a whole, "Eyes Open," will surely open your eyes to both a new and inspiring side of Snow Patrol, as well as the old and soothing side of Snow Patrol that many have grown to admire. Wonder of the World way into the lives of strangers she comes across. She meets fellowtraveler, alcoholic, and sidekick, Lois (Bridget Henwood), curious couple Glen (Omar Yanez) and Karla (Celeste Dawn Beattie), the charming Captain Mike (Patrick Wenk-Wolff); and the strange, oddly-familiar marriage therapist, Janie (Arielle Rosenbaum). This funny, chaotic tale is driven by strong performances. Jessica Swan is wonderful in her naïve and alarmingly forward role as Cass. Whether its exclaiming to sidekick Lois, "Let's be lesbians!" or informing thè captain of her boat tour that she would like to have sex with him that evening, Swan's straightforward delivery lends credibility to Cass and punch to the laughs. Half the fun, though, is watching other characters react to Ker. Henwood, Kissinger, and Wenk-Wolff also provide stand-out performances as the characters thai drive Cass to Photo by Brandi Blahnik / The Pride action and question her "weird" qualities. When we finally find the many characters of "Wonder of the World'* together in a room, the result is a dynamic explosion of personalities which can only be managed with, that's right, an episode of "The Newlyweds" game show. Without saying too much, rest assured this play will force you to look a t Barbie heads in a disturbingly new way. Writer Ljndsay-Abaire weaves the stories of his characters together, leaving us to ponder the role of fate in our lives. Each character touches the life of the next without seeming to know it. It's unclear whether the "wonder" he speaks of is as tangible as Niagra Falls, or rather an idea about coincidences and their effects on our lives. Though there are plenty of laughs, the subtext of the play asks the more serious question of how we make decisions or, let then* be dictated for l^^ll f / * "Woi^ei^oMie W6rld" tfecSledly receives 5 paws and is well wortlf the $5 student ticket price.

Each student listened to the stories of one of three, people. At the beginning of each recording, as the student pressed play, the constant thump of a heartbeat immediately dropped the student into the mindset of Olivia, Steven, or Beatrice. As students walked through a certain path in the tent, a specific map of where they had been placed in Africa would allow them to further develop the mentality of the person's life they were going to experience. Following the voice on the recorder, students listened to the life of the person they had become, and eventually had to enter a health clinic where students were given a red stamp on their hand proclaiming them to be HIV positive or negative. If a student was declared positive, they had to wait for a student pronounced HIV negative to take them by the hand and lead them Photo By Amanda Andreen / The Pride out of the tent.

The posters read: Environmental, Medical, Political, Spiritual and Cultural, pertaining to the five main aspects of Africa that need support. For instance, below Political, the poster asked students to pray for leaders to may make wise decisions about funding and providing support. After about fifteen minutes, the impact of these stories and images had the potential to shake students to their very core. As some students walked out of the tent with tears in their eyes, others could hardly put into words what they experienced. Freshman John Loeh was placed into the life of Beatrice. Loeh said, "It was pretty sad, especially the part where she was diagnosed and had the option to choose to save somebody or not." After she heard the life of Olivia, freshman Shelley Lawrence walked out of the tent with a large red positive stamp on her hand. Lawrence said, "I feel that education is the best way to prevent this. People shun each other because they don't know enough, if people learn about HIV, then it would help." As students walked out, ICF took donations and gave students flyers informing them of letters they could write to local congressmen. ICF also directed students to their website, ivsanmarcos.org, where students can learn more about how to make an impact themselves. Originally, ICF had only planned to display the tent for one week; , but campus involvement with the tent went far beyond what ICF had ever envisioned. Therefore, The Africa Tent will remain on campus until Thursday, October 12. ICF member Jaci Spencer said, "The biggest thing I hope people could take away is this: yes there's AIDS, yes there's rape, yes there's poverty. These are all the issues we've heard about but it doesn't hit home imtil we see it as it is. I want people to know that we can do something about this and that God does care."

Pandora.com evolved from The Music Genome Project that about what each individual song sounds like. Over the past six years, we've carefully listened to the songs of over 10,000 different artists - ranging from popular to obscure - and analyzed the musical qualities of each song one attribute at a time. This work continues each and every day as we endeavor to include all the great new stuff coming out of studios, clubs and garages around the world," To get started, simply gp to www.pandora.com, and type in the name of an artist or song of interest, then sit back and let Pandora work its magic, Pandora first offers a song from the artist or the song typed in.

"About 10 students participated in helping the kids make masks," said Bigonger. "Maskmaking at CSUSM has happened before. This is thefirsttime that ELC has participated. I hope that it is a recurring event because the kids really enjoyed it," said Bigonger. Broomball is played in a similar fashion to hockey, except that players do not wear skates, a ball is used in place of a puck, and players use a rubber-tipped broom shaped stick. The Sixth Annual Masquerade Ball finished off Fever Week on Saturday. "The Masquerade Ball is a huge tradition that most of t CSUSM students look forward to every year," says Mathews. "The [Masquerade] Ball took place at the House of Blues in downtown San Diego. The venue was huge and very appealing for our students.

Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock III: the final chapter BY FRANCISCO MACIAS Pride Staff Writer All of those who feel the feud in the Ultimate Fighting Championship between Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock should finally tap out, raise your hand. One fighter is already in the UFC Hall of Fame and the other will soon be there—once he decides he is done punishing his opponents. Shamrock left the sport years ago and should have stayed gone. But due to his first embarrassing loss to the younger, well rounded fighter at UFC 40 Vendetta, he came back for another embarrassing loss. At UFC 61: Bitter Rivals, Ken Shamrock thought he was ready to win. There was also huge hype surrounding the fight. As part of the marketing for the fight, the reality television show "The Ultimate Fighter" had two teams competing under the instruction of Ken Shamrock arid Tito Ortiz respectively. At UFC 61 Ortiz rained vicious elbows over the aging Shamrock and the referee Herb Dean stopped the fight at 1:18 in the first round. The fight was deemed controversial because Shamrock claimed that he was okay to continue fighting. It looked like a young punk mugging an old man in the alley. It was sad. That entire fight card was a waste of time and money. It gets better folks; we now have Ortiz/ Shamrock III: the Final Chapter. The only thing exciting this time around is that the fight will be free on Spike TV. UFC President Dana White does not feel that fans should have to pay to see this ridiculous feud once again. I have to admit, I'm a bit curious to see what Ortiz will do this time. Will the Huntington Beach bad boy do his typical ground and pound? For those of you who don't know what ground and pound is, it's when you take your opponent down and begin to unload punches and elbows to their face. It's not pretty, and Tito Ortiz has mastered it. On the other hand, Shamrock is not a chump; he was the man back when the UFC first started. Shamrock used to roll over anyone who stepped into the octagon. However, this is 2006, and Tito Ortiz is no taxi driver walking into the octagon. For those of you who aren't busy on Tuesday, October 10, tune into Spike TV for this "epic" battle. I predict Ortiz will circle Shamrock, tire the old man out and give him the oF ground and pound.

It was only a matter of time before the men won an event, given the team's sparkling performances thus far. That win came on Saturday, in a field that consisted of six teams and 62 runners total. At the very top of those runners was Cougar Juan Mejia, who has been nothing short of amazing this season. Before Sunday, Mejia had already finished second at two events on the season. At this event, Mejia blew away the field, beating the second-place runner by a staggering 4S seconds. His potential at Nationals is definitely something Cougar fans can start getting excited about. Not to be outdone, the Cougar women nearly made it a clean sweep for the teams, finishing just two points behind Point Loma Nazarene. The squad's leaders, Whitney Patton and Bonghabih Shey, came through as usual, finishing sixth and eighth, respectively. Shey, already a star on the track tearn, has really stepped up her cross-country performance this year, and helped the team reach the next level. While the very top runners gave great performances for Coach Steve Scott, just about everyone in Cougar blue ran very well. On the men's side, Mejia crossed the finish line first, but Phil Hoffman was not far behind, finishing third. Ozwaldo Alvarez stepped up his game, taking seventh overall. Leo Elorza, Thomas Thys, and Mike Crouch all finished in the top 20 as well. On the women's side, nine Cougars finished in the top 30 runners, though only the team's top five runners counted for team-scoring purposes. Aside from Patton and Shey, Aimee Bradley had a strong meet, finishing fifteenth. Erin Hearn, Olympia Olguin, and Jackie Maciel were not far behind, taking seventeenth, nineteenth, and twenty-first, respectively. Overall, it was an excellent outing for both teams, and their chances to finish strong at Nationals are looking very good. Coach Steve Scott will take his crew to the Fullerton Invite on October 20 for its final regular-season meet, and then it's off to Regionals on November 4. Below are the full CSUSM results. Individual places are adjusted for team-scoring purposes, which doesn't factor in those runners who weren't attached to colleges.

It found Drummond's foot, and she volleyed the shot into the net to give the Cougars the 3-2 win. Though Drummond accounted for all the scoring, the entire team played a very good game on Sunday. Midfielder Tessa Smith controlled the ball and was able to set up opportunities for teammates, and Randi Leyva created scoring chances throughout the day. On the back line, Alex Quindt played arguably her best game of the season, and Lucia Asbury continued to be very impressive after making the transition from forward to defense. Defender Lica Martinez also played a very strong game. Overall it was a great effort for the Cougars in front of fee home crowd at Mangrum Field. The women will try to keep the momentum rolling on Tuesday, when they travel to take on Claremont-McKenna College to kick off a stretch of five consecutive road games. Defeating ClaremontMcKenna on Road\ 5-2 Women's Soccer Wins Second Straight; Defeats Claremont-McKenna on Road, 5-2 October 3,2006 Though their season got off to .a tough start, the Cal State San Marcos women's soccer team (3-6) appears to be turning the corner. On Tuesday, the squad tallied a 5-2 victory over Claremont-McKenna, its second-straight win. Tuesday's win marks the first ever road victory for the program, and it comes against a Claremont-McKenna squad that entered the game .with a solid 5-3-1 record for ihe season. Thus, the match also marks the team's first victory over a team with a winning record. CSUSM controlled the action for most of the game. At halftime, the Cougars led 10, courtesy of a Lucia Asbury goal. Courtney Drummond, who posted a hat trick in Sunday's game, drew a foul deep in the opponent's territory, and Kelly Wherry took the free kick. She made the most of it, hitting a perfect cross to the other side of the box. The ball found Asbury, and she volleyed it into the top of the net past the helpless keeper. Early in the second half, the Cougars built their lead to 20, with Kelly Wherry involved again - but this time as the goal scorer. The Cougars earned a free kick 25 yards out, and Wherry was chosen again to take it. Instead of hitting a cross, Wherry struck a beautiful shot, curling the ball into the corner of the net past the outstretched arms of the keeper. Claremont-McKenna fought back to make the score 2-1, but CSUSM refused to allow them to equalize, half-way through the second half, the Cougars once again earned a free kick in the offensive zone. Lucia Asbury took it this time, but found Kelly Wherry in the box. Though she didn't hit the header she intended, Wherry managed to deflect the ball into the net for her second goal of the game. Not long after, the Cougars pushed the score to 4-1. Defender Alex Quindt hit a ball over the top of the defense, connecting with forward Clarissa Hidalgo. Hidalgo struck a nice right-footed shot into the low corner of the net to give the Cougars a three-goal lead. After Claremont-McKenna scored on a free kick of their own, the Cougars once again answered, removing any doubt about what the outcome of the game would be. Clarissa Hidalgo was responsible again, joining Kelly Wherry as two-goal scorers for the game. After receiving a routine pass from Tessa Smith, Hidalgo stood a-full 35 yards awayfromthe goal, where she launched a rainbow shot towards the net. The shot caught everyone off-guard, including the opposing keeper, who couldn't prevent it from sailing over her head and into the net. The 5-2 score would hold up, giving the Cougars another muchneeded victory. In what was by far their most impressive showing on offense all year, the Cougars nearly matched their cumulative season total for goals scored, which stood at six before Tuesday's game. Still, Assistant Coach Bobby Renneisen was quick to praise the team's back line. Fullbacks Lucia Asbury, Annica Perez, Alex Quindt, and Lica Martinez played a terrific game, limiting Claremont-McKenna's opportunities and never allowing them to cut deeply into the Cougars' lead. With the squad playing its best soccer yet, they hope to keep the momentum rolling through four more consecutive road games. Next, the squad will head up to Santa Cruz to take on U.C. Santa Cruz on October 7, then Menlo College the following day. p �BY DAVID GATLEY Pride Staff Writer Last weekend, following the brilliant advice from my girlfriend, we ditched all responsibility, packed our bags and departed north at 4:00 a.m. to spend what would turn out to be one of the most unforgettable weekends of our lives surrounded by one of Nature's most incredible landscapes. Yosemite: one of the few places on Earth that defies explanation. To describe it in words is to insult it. Even with the accompanying photos, the sheer magnitude and splendor of the place is lost. If you haven't been, go. If you have only been once, go again. If you are one of the lucky few to have visited multiple times, let this story encourage you to go again. To some, an eight hour drive (one way), 150 dollars in gas (less than three dollars a gallon!!), and 20 to 400 dol- lars a night for lodging, all for 36 hours of distraction may sound ludicrous. To others, it is just the cure for a life filled with monotony. Whether you're smitten and in love or single and unattached, a trip to Yosemite—even for as little as two days—can be one of the most memorable journeys of your life. So, if it's renting a beach cruiser and gliding along the valley floor surrounded by towering granite mountains, hiking up the back of Half Dome to see one of the world's most breathtaking views, or getting attacked by fearless raccoons as you eat your overpriced pizza and indulge in a well-deserved drink after a long day in paradise—your tinje spent in Yosemite will be short lived and long remembered. To all you fellow Cougars: take this writer's advice and spend at least a weekend escaping in Yosemite, you won't regret it. �fidfe B tfeteff B ohemians ( 8 ^MBMMHI _ >-;• r i u f t i e $10; ; i . » • . v.. l o s Tycaoes •••••I Shankar (8pm llCSb $34-36) { Spro C e n t e r for t h e A rts,.Esoondido $24-57} •iSm FieWHoii^l' •pi ' RANCH* • CSpm House o fBIues i $1&~$20) 111 ¡ ¡¡I¡ill v^s'i^M-i',; it- 'miiiM-¿.j/• San Marcos West (760) 510-1997 i pätetoSante! j �10 Tuesday, October lO, 2006 10, OPINION V/l T H E P RIDE AIDS : COMPASSION IN A FRICA "The AIDS Crisis: Can you survive the journey of a child?" Intervarsity Christian Fellowship As dusk arrives and the orange sun disappears behind the cloudy sky, I walk through Palm Court on my way to begin my AIDS experience. Unsure of what to expect, and fairly confident that the contents of the tent will have a significant impact on me, I've brought my younger sister along with me to share the experience. Friendly and encouraging students from Intervarsity Christian Fellowship gather near the entrance of the tent waiting to greet us. We are handed headphones attached to a small media player, and a lantern to lead us through the night-filled tent. "Wait in front of the curtain" we are told. My sister goes in first. She steps behind the fabric wall and quickly vanishes into the caverns of the tent, only her silhouette and the diluted lantern light can still be seen. I step in front of the beaded curtain and turn on my headphones. Sounds of a bustling street, voices, and animals—all sounds of Africa surround me, call to me. I am instructed to go into the next room. It is empty. I sit down and I can still hear the noises of Africa dancing around me, I think I can even sense the various smells of Africa wade through the room. A voice comes on. It is a man. His name is Jalima, he will guide my journey tonight, he tells me. Walking into the next room I find myself in front of three curtained doorways. There is a name on each doorway, as there is a name printed on my media player: Beatrice. The voice of Beatrice starts to speak. I cross through Beatrice's entrance and without realizing it, I am transported into an entirely new world, taking on the mindset of Beatrice. Immediately I am introduced to Beatrice's life. She is seven and lives with her older, pregnant sister. Both of her parents died when she was younger. A series of pictures are in front of me, giving a face to Beatrice's name and her fragile voice. Images of poverty and disease, sorrow and despair, line the makeshift walls. I proceed through the maze of Beatrice's life and stop before 3 map. "You live in Zambia," Jalima tells me. I read the map and learn that Zambia has a population just over 11 million people. 1.2 million of those inhabitants are orphaned children, and 1.7 million of the entire population is HIV+ or has AIDS. As Ifinishreading statistics about Zambia, I slowly move into the next room. I am now standing in Beatrice's home, a small, oneroom hut. Dirty dishes, ragged clothes and dirt-tattered blankets are strewn about on the ground. I turn around and I can see a picture of her sister. "You're excited because your sister is going to have her baby today," Jalima tells me. Before me is a poster with pictures of teen mothers, primitive tools and abandoned babies. In red letters are the words "Maternal mortality." All of the sudden there are screams and wails playing into my ears. There is a constant cry of an infant, but the background cries are different. "Something is wrong," Jalima says. I stop and find myself searching the images and the imaginary scene in my head for an answer, "Your sister has just died in child birth," he answers. "No! She can't!" I silently yell to myself. The sound of a crying baby carries me into the next room. "Your sister had a baby girl. They have named her Myriam," he states. "But no one is claiming her. Your grandmother says she cannot afford to feed another mouth, and Clockwise starting with middle picture on left-hand side: *The room displaying Olivia's living quarters was just one of three displays students were able to view. *For each student's AIDS experience, they received a hand stamp corresponding to the HIV test results o f the person's life they experienced. *l received a negative result; my sister received a positive result. *After being diagnosed HIV positive or HIV negative, students continued their journey into a waiting room filled with hundreds of photos of people with HIV and AIDS. *At the end of their journey, students were encouraged to make a bracelet to remember their experience by. your other relatives are beginning to back away from the infant," explains Jalima, a tinge of sadness weighing behind his voice. "You stand there in silence " he tells Beatrice, just as I stand there listening in silence, "looking at the tiny baby nobody wants." What would you do if you were Beatrice? You stand there, the silence continuing to grow, until something inside of you aches, and you say, "I'll take her." How different would your life be? Only seven years old, orphaned, now with a baby? You have no mother, no father, no sister, no one at all except this tiny new life you have in your arms. No one wanted baby Myriam, and now this baby needs you more than you've ever needed anything. "The days go by and Myriam will not stop crying," Jalima continues. "You have no food to give her and no way of getting food. Each day gets harder and harder watching the other children in the village run and play and attend school. They used to be your friends, and that used to be you. You rummage through the streets, scavenging for food and water for you and little Myriam. You try to go and work and do small things to earn wages but Myriam doesn't like to be away from you. She doesn't like to be left alone, and she cries incessantly when you don't hold her." "Somehow, you and Myriam manage to survive for two years, you cannot believe it," he says. "But Myriam is so undernourished that she cannot sit up on her own even though she is two years old, and now her fingers, toes, and eyes have become infested with fleas and open sores. You do your best to wash her sores as often as you can, but you have no clean water and wiping her eyes only makes her cry more, and the pus infecting her eyes just comes right back after you wipe them. Poor Myriam; you're not sure how much longer she will be able to survive, and the last two years have taken a toll on your body as well. Weak from starvation and taking care of Myriam, you have Continued on Next Page �THROUGH E XPERIENCE PHOTOS BY A MANDA ANDREEN / the pride Continued from Previous Page j ust about given up, until one day you meet a new woman. You can see in her eyes that she is nice, and she offers to take care of you and Myriam," Jalima rejoices. The next room has the words "Health Clinic" and an arrow in yellow lettering painted on the wall. "Beatrice," Jalima tells me, "because your sister had HIV, and because your mother had HIV, we - . itive or HIV negative." The health clinic is a small room with three wooden benches. Long white bed sheets hang against the walls and there are large positive and negative signs stamped in red on the sheets above the benches. My sister sits across the room from me. We are instructed to wait. We will be told whefi it is time to get up and receive our test don't know if you and Myriam results. My sister goes first, gets her test results arid then leaves the room. A few minutes later it is my t urn. Not knowing her results, or even if I myself will be HIV positive, I stand up and walk towards the window. The clerk asks me i T Photographyr by have it or not If your sister A manda A ndreen apc a n c ein onto0U yriam, there is assed M uC / TU / ine P 'rip rriue ^ y° W have gotten y 0U wiped her open sores.

I place my hand on the windowsill, and he presses the stamp into my flesh. He l ifts it up for me to see the results^ Negative. I can't believe it. A fat, red, negative sign stretches across the width of my fist. Jalima tells me to proceed to the waiting room. He warns me that there might be Lanterns in one hand, and holding each other's hand with the other, we stop in front of a prayer wall. There are hundreds of prayers: prayers for healing, prayers for grace and understanding, prayers for forgiveness and love—and for a cure. A tear falls off my cheek as I set my lantern down to write a prayer. Pinning it to the wall, I am overcome with many questions, like why does there have to be so much suffering in the world? So much pain? Why is a whole continent dying from this horrible four-letter disease: AIDS? Just why? More importantly I was left asking what can we do about it? How can we stop it? And how can we help? Through my whole journey that night in the tent I felt compassion for Beatrice, and tried to contemplate what her life must have been like. How would I have kept faith in the face of such disparity? How did she keep her -faith? I guess all I can come up with for the millions of people affected by HIV and AIDS, for the millions of people dying today in Africa, the millions who have already died, and for the millions of people who feel compelled to do something about it, is that there is hope. The Africa Tent is just one way offering hope. There are dozens of organizations out there trying to save Africa and all it takes is one moment of your life to dedicate yourself and your heart to such others who have just a cause.

Letter to the editor: Where's the remberance for 9/11 September 11, 2001 was a tragedy that affected the whole world. It changed life as we know it. O ut innocence was lost as we watched planes barrel into the World Trade Center buildings, as well as the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania. We watched with horror as thousands of innocent civilians found themselves in a situation that was far beyond our imaginations. People who felt they had no other option jumped to their deaths from 80 stories high. Heroes ran into the buildings without thought to save as many people as they could. The best in human character was brought out as well as the worst. In our local community, schools and businesses closed. Friends and families gathered together. We tried to find ways to handle the rush of emotions we were all feeling. Many of us begged, hoped, and prayo^for people to be pulled out alive from the rubble. Sadly, more were found dead than alive. Five years later, we as Americans should not allow ourselves to forget the catastrophe that occurred that shook us all to the core. As an active student on this campus, I am appalled that this sacred day was not remembered by our college campus or its leaders. I have been a member of Alpha Chi Omega for the last three years, and have been aware of ASI and other campus events throughout this time through other involved peers. I am now a graduate student finishing my teaching credential. My cohorts sat in class all Monday and they looked to me to find out if anything special had been planned for this day. Sadly, I had nothing to report on. A special edition of The Pride was not ¡published, a time of remembrance was not observed, and our precious University Hour was not utilized to bring our community of learners together and honor those that perished on September 11th. I picked up a copy of The Pride on Tuesday to see if anything had been written and I find at the very bottom of the front page a small rectangle stating: "We Will Remember 9-11-01." Then I turned all the pages and found the largest, article about alcohol and Mexican food without any other mention of September 11. How is it that margaritas and burritos deserve more words in our paper than those names of lives that paid the ultimate price? One semester a student organization put crosses in the grass to the east of Kellogg Library. Each cross represented soldiers that had passed away in the war following 9/11.1 assume that this was a form of protest against the war. However, nothing was done in remembrance of the 2,749 innocent victims that died five years ago! I hope that in six, ten, and even twentyfive years down the road, this University will remind the future youth of this world about the tragedy that happened. Youth need to be taught that we cannot allow something like this to happen again. This college claims in its own mission statement that it "exposes us to issues and traditions of the United States and other countries." The tradition of American patriotism and how this attack affected other countries as well as our own was completely ignored on 9/11/2006. "To be responsible men and women we must examine the moral and ethical issues^' (University Mission Statement) that led up to that day, and helped us survive the loss of human life. "This history is affecting our present and will continue to have a lasting affect on our future. We need to understand the human behavior, culture, values, and institutions" (University Mission Statement) that allowed fellow human beings to commit such horror. I am writing this to vent, but I also want answers. Why did the President of this University not arrange a campus-wide moment of silence? Why did The Pride not publish a list of names of those that were killed? Why did ASI not organize, a remembrance activity during University Hour? Why did the college staff not unite and allow individual classes tofindappropriate ways of honoring this day? Why was our American Flag not even lowered to half-mast? Why was this day completely ignored by our California State University? I, as well as cohort 77 and Alpha Chi Omega, and the rest of the student body of this university deserve an honest answer to describe such senselessness. In regards to the daily position of the American Flag, Section 7.e of the United States Flag code states that: "The flag of the United States of America should be at the center and at the highest point of the group when a number of flags of States or localities or pennants of societies are grouped and displayed from staffs" (emphasis added). Unless we have misread this code, the flag's positioning should be altered permanently and immediately to be in compliance with federal law. Completely Disappointed, Ashley Campbell Member of Alpha Chi Omega Graduate Student and Alumni Letter to the editor: ASI's Alumni masquerade refusal My name is Raul Montero, I am an alum from Gal State University San Marcos I am writing to you because I am very disturbed and upset regarding how Alumni are being treated by ASI. I have been going to Masquerade Ball for four years now, one year as an alum. To me this is tradition, and [the] Masquerade Ball is like Homecoming for CSUSM. I have been trying to get to the ASI office before it closes at 5 p.m. a few different times, [but]for a working professional it can be very difficult to get there by that particular time. Each time I was only late by two tofiveminutes and ASI was closed with nobody inside. I decided to call the ASI office to see if there was someway to arrange one single ticket for myself to the Masquerade Ball. When I did call, a message was relayed to me by the receptionist at ASI. The message was that Alumni are not allowed to purchase or obtain tickets for the Masquerade Ball. First of all, I have been to Masquerade Ball before as an alum and did not have trouble getting a ticket. So is this a new rule or is [ASI] just flat out lying to me? Second, is this how the school treats its own Alumni? By telling alumni that they are no longer allowed at CSUSM functions since they aren't a student anymore? I am sorry, but this is an outrage. I have never felt like I have been treated with such disrespect before in my life. If anything, Alumni should be at the top of the list, seeing that it is difficult for them to obtain tickets to the dance because most alumni are working professionals. Is this what we are telling prospective students? Sure, attend our school, but once you are Alumni you are no longer welcome? I honestly feel like the school has spit in my face; and at the same time the school is asking me for monetary contributions to CSUSM. I really hope The Pride feels my concern and shares it with the entire student body, because it seems to be the only organization on campus that isn't spitting in the face of the Alumni.

T o R e g i s t e r t o VÖte 3 p Ä ^ | ^ M S « t y . c a ^ ^ Ä e r s / E n g / E r e g . h t m r �Drink of the Week Mapl£ Macchiato BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer Here at The Pride we like to be as accommodating as we possibly can to the CSUSM student body, and it has come to our attention that for some of you, drinking just isn't your thing. That is totally fine by us, so instead of doing our usual thing and telling you about our new favorite alcoholbased mixed drink, we've decided to shake things up a bit and venture into uncharted territory for this, edition of Drink of the Week. So, if you aren't of age yet, are taking a week off from the bars to detox, or just enjoy reading what the drink of the week is, then read on my friends, read on! For those ofyou Starbucks aficionados out Photo by Amanda Andreen / The Pride there, this DotW is right up your alley. And for those of you who are anti-Starbucks or have never experienced a Starbucks drink, the new line of autumn-inspired drinks at Starbucks might just tickle your fancy. Along with the seasonal pumpkin-flavored lattes, Frappuccinos and crème drinks, there are also new maple syrup flavored drinks available. This week's latest discovery is the new Maple Macchiato. And when I say "new," I'm mean it is just within the past week that this syrupy delight has invaded the decorative chalkboards hanging on the walls of Starbucks Coffee Company Stores nationwide. What is in a Maple Macchiato, you ask? Well, if you've ever had a Caramel Macchiato, it's pretty similar; just subtract the caramel and add maple syrup and you're set. For a 16 ounce Maple Macchiato (also known as a Grande), your local barista would start with three pumps of maple syrup, then add steamed milk, two shots of espresso, a scoop of foam, and maple drizzle, and viola! Your very own Maple Macchiato. I will warn you though—the Maple Macchiato isn't for amateurs. It's kind of like drinking pancakes, and it's really just like drinking maple syrup. Personally, I wasn't too crazy about it; I think I'll stick with my Caramel Macchiato, thank you very much. But if you've ever gone to Denny's and wished you could combine your Pancake Slam breakfast with a hot cup of coffee, this drink is a match made in heaven for your taste buds. A little bit of the Maple Macchiato goes a long way, so as with many things in life, the general rule "less is more" is definitely appropriate to apply to Starbucks' Maple Macchiato. Enjoy! Beer of the Week Samuel Adams Octoberfest BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer For almost two hundred years, the Bavarian holiday of Oktoberfest has been celebrated in countries around the world. Originally created to commemorate the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig I to Princess Therese SaxeHildburghausen in 1810, Oktoberfest is celebrated with drinking specially brewed beers and traditional dishes in large public tents. This week marks the end of Oktoberfest; the festivities typically last 15 days until the first Sunday in October. That not withstanding, in a continuation of our Oktoberfest celebrations, we will look at another domestic Oktoberfest brew—Samuel Adams Octoberfest brew. While it may be on par with German Oktoberfest brews such as Paulaner or Spaten Oktoberfest-Biers, of the American Oktoberfest beers, Samuel Adams is perhaps one of the best. It hasa beautiful, dark reddish amber, almost pumpkin color to it. It pours with a full fizzy head that lasts for several minutes. The beer's smell is complex, malty and sweet; mixing a caramelflavorwith a bit of spice. In the tradition of Oktoberfest beers, it is darker, stronger and spicier than its year-round counterparts. Samuel Adams Octoberfest is 5.4% alcohol content by volume versus the 4.9% of the typical Boston Lager, and it's slightly darker in color. The beer has four malts: Crystal, Harrington, Moravian and Munich, all of which can clearly be tasted over the hop's profile. It has a rich mouthfeel and a dry but pleasant aftertaste. Samuel Adams Octoberfest is a good session beer, or it can be easily paired with a variety of heartier dishes. It is available from August through October, as a draft and in 12 ounce bottles in six and twelve packs. When the Oktober- é ÊÊPÊtb fest season comes to a close it is always a sad- ^ ^ K f l dening time, but this year, it is especially poignant time.

Some kind of saving grace to transport you to an alternate frame of mind or sense of being? Well, look no further. Jonny Lang's "Turn Around" is about to alleviate your bout of existential turmoil. With a soulful album of fiery blues, traditional twang, Southern gospel rock and total guitar domina- tion, don't be afraid to give good 'ol Jonny his dues when you pop "Turn Around" into your Discman for a listen or two. "Jonny Lang?!" you're thinking—yes, Jonny Lang. As he proclaims on "Anything's Possible," "don't be deceived, anything is possible." This latest album separates him from his yesteryears, helping him break free from what most of us remember him as: a kid pop-star that broke into the scene around the time of Hanson and the cult followings of boy bands. Keeping that in mind, Jonny's "Turn Around" has inadvertently become the soundtrack for my 2006 whirlwind fall semester at CSUSM. The 15 tracks act as a wardrobe of emotions and memories, each song suiting a different disposition. If it's a pick-me-up or whim of inspiration you need, then "Turn Around" has your name written all over it. Can't stop thinking about that special someone? Then "My Love Remains" is the song your heart is singing. Ever feel like there is something more out there for you and you just haven't been able to put your finger on it yet? "Only a Man" has the validation you're looking for and will sting you with its comfort and truth. The beautiful duet and falsettos created by Jonny himself remind me of a rootsy gospel country hymn, leading me down an imaginative path of self-discovery. Immediately following is the upbeat "Don't Stop (For Anything)" that will get you moving and your soulful rock attitude back in check. I guarantee you'll find yourself rocking out to this one, nodding your head and WORKING FOR CALIFORNIA CSU students and the faculty at our 23 universities need and deserve a learning environment that is conducive to providing quality education. That is why the CSU is disappointed that the California Faculty Association bargaining team did not allow its members to evaluate the most recent proposal put on the table by the CSU, which includes: • • A 24.87 percent salary increase over four years, beginning in 2006/07, contingent upon funding of the Compact with the Governor and an additional 1 percent augmentation for compensation Continuation of the Faculty Early Retirement Program (FERP), reducing the number of years from five to four • Incentive and equity pay program for full professors and tenure-track professors • No changes to ¿acuity eligibility tor PERS retirement • Above standard health and dental benefits totaling $ 120 million per year in contributions by the CSU. This includes $12 million in contributions CSU will pay for health costs for faculty during 2007-08. • Gradual ly increased parking fees for faculty so at the end of four years they pay the same parking fees as students and Michael Buble all have nothing on Jonny Lang. Even if you're still on the fence regarding the strikingly talented Mr. Lang, take my advice and give "Turn Around" a chance. It's time to break free from your listening habits; give that worn out Jack Johnson album a rest and mix things up. What's the worst that could happen? ! for ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ l ^ ^ i r d v.

Eager filmgoers gathered outside the theater, waiting to see the Vancouver-born actor's new film, "Hot Tamale," in which he plays Jude, a jewel thief on the run. Before he was ushered to his seat, I was able to have a word with Priestly, who had this to say to the aspiring actors at CSUSM: "I always feel like the most impor- The Pride's interview with J ason Priestly tant advice to give young actors is to study [and] to stay in school. The one thing that has reaped more rewards for me as a performer is the fact that I took the time to go to theater school and study my craft. The exceptions to the rule are very few and far between, the exceptions being people who got off a bus in Hollywood and were discovered at the counter in Schwab's drug store. But, the reality is that doesn't happen. The most important thing you can do arid the most important respect that you can pay your craft as a thespian is to study and to understand what it is that you're doing. Once you have that k nowledge, you always have that knowledge to , fall b ack o n. The Pride's A&E editor interviews Jason Priestly at the Pacific 15 Theater. There are always times in every actor's career where you sort of find yourself floundering, and you can get lost within the material and not know what to do. But if you have studied, and if you have the knowledge to fall back on, you can figure it out and the path will become clear." As for his own acting education, Jason Priestly studied under Howard Fine and June Whitaker. Starting out as a child actor in TV commercials, Jason Priestly has been involved in at least 36 film and TV projects, including a roc- Photo by Mary Foley / The Pride kumentary he directed featuring The Barenaked Ladies, the popular 90s prime-time soap "Beverly Hills, 90210," and the indie film "Die Mommie Die!" which won the Special Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival.

An unpredictable combination of canapés, cocktails, and RedBull fueled the enthusiasm of those in attendance. Amongst them were Markus and Mason Canter, otherwise known as The Flying Canter Brothers. The Pride managed to catch up with the highflying directing duo to ask them a few questions. The Pride: Do you have any advice for Cal State San Marcos future filmmakers? Markus: First and foremost, getting to the San Diego Film Festival—it's all about making movies, one movie at a time. You tell a great story. Definitely tell a great story. Mason: Tell something that you know Image courtesy of FCB about, something that you have been emotionally connected to for a while; and be passionate about it. Don't pick something just because you think it's what everybody wants. Pick something that's individual to you. And, if you tell that story, if you get it out to people in a way that connects to them, then your audiences are going to feel it. And it's all about emotions. The movie business is about putting a bunch of moments together that creates an entire feeling [and] tells a story. Our whole thing, what do we say? (He turns to Markus) We always say do stuff that you're passionate about. Get off the couch. Markus: Making a movie, you're going to invest anywhere from a weekend to a few years into making afilm,depending on what you're doing. And if you're going to do that, you want to focus on something that everyday you're going to be passionate about and inspired to keep doing, because after about a month or a year of making a movie - you've spent your money on it, and you've put your time and your heart into it - if you haven't chosen something you really believe in, at the end of the day you're really not going to make a great movie. Mason: Another thing I would love to add is that right now we are so fortunate, because [the] technology that we have today, with cameras like the DVX100A or the new HD, the 200, you can, anybody can, go out there and be afilmmaker.And you can make professional quality stuff. So, it gives you the opportunity to experiment. It's not like back in the day where 16mm was really expensive and you had to rent the camera. Get your hands on any camera you can and experiment until you find your voice and youfindsomething that works for you. Markus: I'll also say that both of us went tofilmschool, so, and this is to whether you went to film school or not, but ultimately what I have seen in the mentors I have had in my life or just the people that have been masters in this craft [is that] it's a lifetime thing. You get better every time you do this. Every time you pick up [a] camera you get better. Every time you tell a story or write something, you get better at it. So [if] somebody starts out and they have a passion for it [and] their first movie [doesn't] quite work out, do it again, because you will get better each time you do it. Mason: If you are lucky enough that there is somebody around that you admire that is already makingfilms,try to learn as much as you can from them. If there's not, then pick who your favorite filmmaker is and leafn everything about them. Whether it's Coppola, Spielberg, or Scorsese, whoever it is that you love, know as much as you can about how they made their movies and how they got to where they are, so that you can learnfromtheir knowledge. The Pride: Do you have a favorite filmmaker? Mason: We have a couple. Markus: Being the fact that we're the Flying Canter Brothers, obviously we love the Coen brothers. The Coen brothers are one of our all-time favorites. Scorsese is [also] definitely a favorite. Mason: Usually I always say Kubrick. Marcus was always really into Kubrick. All my papers in college were about Kubrick because visually he's amazing. Markus: The way he V H B frames every image I love it. g ^ V But there are so many great and I B B amazing filmmakers. It's more • • like what movies—I love this ^ ffik movie from this filmmaker. I B B ^ love that one from another one. And we like a l l ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ genres. We're not partial to any one genre. Photos by Mary Foley / The Pride Directors of the film Mason (left) and Markus (right) Canter. We just like telling different stories in different ways, keeping it fresh. The Pride: What made you decide to make "Chasing the Horizon"? Mason: We had written a movie called "Bobby Zero" that we're getting geared up to make, but we did a deal with Effie Brown [Producer Effie Brown, head of Duly Noted Inc.] who produced "Real Women Have Curves;" She won the Independent Spirit Award for that. And when we did our deal with her, we knew that we had a bit of time between the movie she was working on and when we were going to be able to make ["Bobby Zero"]. The great thing about "Chasing the Horizon" is that it's a documentary and in documentaries no one has to give you a green light but you, You can put together a small crew of people, get your friends together, people that you trust that are talented, and go out there [and] find something you want to tell a story about. For us, it just happened to be that we're race fans and this movie's backdrop is the Baja 1000 which is one of the most famous races in the world. [It's] dangerous and grueling, and people try their entire life just to try to win [it]. They will do it year after year, after year, after year. Luckily enough, we met Jeff Lloyd who owns the team, and it was his first year [in the BajalOOO]. We wanted to tell a story that was about a guy who was starting out from scratch, a rookie, someone who Markus: (Breaks in.) This is the underdog story. "Chasing the Horizon" is the ultimate underdog story. It's a feature documentary about a misfit, dysfunctional, rookie offroad racing team. [It follows} one man's quest and dream of win-, ning and finishing this race. Filmmaking is about humanity. It's about human beings. We had never made a documentary and doing a documentary is the ultimate truth. Our bias becomes imprinted on it. But, we went out to make this [documentary] as close to exactly what happened as possible and ultimately that's what we did. We learned so much as directors doing it. You're watching real, live performances in front of your eyes, and you really get to learn what it feels like. So, I think infilmschool, if I was starting infilmschool today and I was having a class, I would have people go out and make documentaries first so [they] can see what reality looks like on film. Now that we're going to go make "Bobby Zero," I can feel reality better than ever, so when I see a performance and someone is performing and it feels like a performance... Mason: (Breaks in.) Our movie never has a moment that feels forced. And I say that really confidently because we spent a lot of time to make sure that everything that was in it was exactly how it went down. We never asked the guys in it, like some reality TV producers [do], "Hey, can you say that line," or, "We need you to fight with that guy." The reason people connect to [our film] is because it's real. And people did connect to "Chasing the Horizon." Thefilmwon Best Documentary later that evening. Expressing both their happiness and their surprise, the Canter brothers were defiantly flying high that night. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Bratwurst sausages, lederhosen, and kegs are the traditional makings of an Oktoberfest, and there was no shortage of any of those elements at this year's celebration. Hosted by ASI's Multicultural Programs and the German Club, the animated festivities were held this year in the Library Plaza, with free sausages and a keg of root beer available during University Hour to hungry students. Dressed in traditional German attire, men in lederhosen, and the women of the German Club in dirndls, members of the German Club paraded around campus holding signs for free bratwurst and beverages. As dozens of students lined up to Top left: Students gather in front of grill where sponsors serve bratwurst in celebration of Oktoberfest.

Each session promises women easy to learn self-defense tactics as a method of rape prevention. According to CSUSM student Lisa Lim, the RAD class has proven to reach beyond that goal. Last year Lim participated in the RAD program. She was worried that she wasn't physically equipped and before the class began she asked herself, "Will I be strong enough?" The relevance of body size and physical strength, however, are trumped by the reality based effectiveness of the techniques that women learn during class sessions. By the end of the course Lim fought off people dressed in aggressor suits, with her eyes closed. Lim says, "The i nductor is so positive and encouraging thlS it's easier to feel empowered and it's a lot easier to go through."

This question was one of many asked by €SUSM students last Monday, October 9, at an event made possible by the Women's Center. Linda Savage, a certified sex educator, sex therapist and author joked, "One." The crowd of fifty broke out in laughter; Savage laughed then said, "If you honor and respect yourself, there is no such thing as too many." Before Savage collected anonymous questions on index cards from students, she set out to empower men and women to enjoy pleasure as a God-given right that should not be dictated by anyone else. "Our sexuality is energy," Savage said, stressing what she called a readiness factor that includes the mental, physical, and emotional aspects that factor into having sex. As Savage said, "We are sold an image which isn't true and it is an image how to have 'hot sex.' It's the culture we live in; it's what we are socialized to [believe]." It's an idea Savage disagrees with, the idea that sex is all about having an orgasm. "There's so much more to be experienced than just, quick, let's get off." Savage went on to explain her performance and pleasure model. She asked the crowd about the movies and television they've seen with all the 'hot sex.' Then she said that the majority of sex seen in the movies is based on the performance model and people can reflect what they've seen and worry too much about just having an orgasm instead of having sex for pleasure. "In their heads, they are too worried about the experience and making their partner happy and focusing too much on genitals."

Photo by Kelly Corrigan / The Pride Linda Savage, a certified sex educator, sex therapist and author speaks at event. After passing out flyers to the crowd, Savage read each myth then gave tips for everyone on how to have a healthy sexual relationship with their partners. This advicç included communication, throwing away the performance model and focusing on pleasure, creating a seductive setting together, letting go of preconceived notions and listening to your partner. In all her years of experience as a sexual therapist, Savage said, "The number one role problem is over focus on partner." As for desire discrepancy, she said, "It is the number one problem in couple relationships." Myth number four states; "It's easy to tell who has more désire and who has less desire in a relationship." Savage stressed, "Low desire is Myth#3 Sex should h e natural a n d spontaneous.

One question read, "How often should we have sex?" To which Savage replied, "There is no such thing as a normal amount." "How do we get over Catholic guilt?" another student asked. Savage replied, "Respect yourself, love • ¡«J yourself, [and] don't look for someone to tell you what to do." This led to her advice for virgins. "If any one of you remains a virgin until marriage, I wouldn't even suggest having intercourse that night. Just petting and touching each other." She ended her speech by promoting safe sex to everyone, and said, "To touch, to love, that is sex. You don't have to have an orgasm." W hat is a lawyer? A debater? A fighter? Or more t han that?

C ALIFORNIA WESTERN S C H O O L O F L AW | S a n D i e g o What law school ought to be! �How to get your foot in tho door at law schoo BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer If you're applying for law school for 2007, this time of year may be the most important part of your academic career. You're entering or finishing your senior year, and these last grades before graduation will be most heavily scrutinized by law schools. While applications for law schools aren't due for a few months (application deadlines generally fall between January 1 and March 31), admissions officers and successful applicants know that by mid-October you should be well into the admissions process. "If you want to get accepted to a law school, make sure you've sent your application in before Thanksgiving," is the conventional wisdom for applying to most law schools. Some even claim that Thanksgiving is too late and that late October is when law school applications should be submitted. Unfortunately, in order to have your Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) score delivered before November, you need to have already taken the test. So if you haven't taken it yet, you'll most likely be looking at a 2008 admission date. If this is the case, starting now will help out greatly for next fall. For this year's applicants though, it's almost certain that completing your application as soon as possible will help enormously. Most law schools have rolling admissions, meaning that your application is evaluated as soon as they get it. In these cases they will fill available spaces for the coming year as they read through applications, meaning that if your application isn't in early, it won't even be considered. But even at schools that do not have rolling admissions, applying early will often be in your best interest. Admissions officers will sometimes assume students who apply early have a more serious interest in ¿heir school and give their applications more consideration. This competitive edge can mean the difference between getting an acceptance or a rejection letter. Still, just filling out die forms on time is not the only consideration. There are a few things that can keep even well-meaning and punctual applicants from getting their applications : jjjHltlffl ¡$mñ nj*i tTi < > . . • I m sJL J 1 mêm ¡LASOS« lûmisMm W second-straightfifthplace finish.

Admissions offices are also often overloaded with requests from other students during application periods, so starting the process early is imperative to being successful. Be aware that some schools require you to fax in your request for transcripts or even request transcripts in person, so transcripts should be requested at least a month in advance if possible, to avoid potential problems and delays. At the same time, applicants should be working on gathering their letters of recommendation. It comes as a surprise to some students, but they aren't the only people who procrastinate; bosses, professors and advisors do it too. This means that it is both polite and prudent to give those you ask for letters of recommendations at least a month to write them. Applicants should also give those writing their letters a clear idea of when the letter needs to be completed and sent to the LSAC. It also doesn't hurt to politely remind them about writing your letter of recommendation every so often, to keep it fresh i n their minds. As the saying goes, "timing is everything." If you're behind in applying, there's still time to get things done in time, but it will require a little extra effort to catch up. And for those that don't think they'll be able to get their applications done in Image courtesy of Northern Illinois University time, there's plenty of time to get prepared before next October. in on time: letters of recommendation and transcripts. Almost every law school requires that your LSAT scores, letters of recommendation and transcripts be sent to them by the Law School Admission Council (LSAC). While you may be prompt about filling out and submitting forms on time these two items require you to convince others into working inside your deadlines. Compiling undergraduate transcripts can be a surprisingly time consuming task. Applicants should never underestimate the sluggishness of educational bureaucracies, and should plan accordingly.

Scott Conway and Arek Legarra posted solid rounds of 73, and Kyle Kelch and Mike Leonard shot 75. By the end of round one, Cal State San Marcos' team score of 286 gave them a healthy 8-shot lead over the field. Unfortunately, while the Cougars' first round was the best of the tournament by any team, their second was the worst. All five golfers scored higher than in the previous day, including Anderson following up his 65 with a disappointing 80. As a team, the Cougars' took 28 more strokes to get around the course in the second wm** s life round, shooting 314. Day three proved a little better, but CSUSM's score of 307 was not enough to get them back in contention. Scott Conway was able to turn it around through, matching his first round score of 73. His combined score of 223 earned him a tie for fifth in the tournament. The team ended up in fourth, 18 strokes behind winners Point Loma Nazarene University. PLNU won the tournament by just one stroke over Concordia University, and finished four ahead of Cal Baptist The Cougars did manage to finish ahead of CSU East Bay by 11 strokes. Despite the disappointment of losing the lead, the men's team should continue to improve throughout the fall and turn into a major contender by spring. Helping the cause will be the returns of Casey Sartori, Clint McCook, and Matthew Determan, who are all expected to be playing either later this fall or in the spring. The team will next be in action on October 22, at Sonoma State University. It is one of two tournaments remaining in the fall schedule, after which the squad will not compete again until February.

Gerrica Clark Pmimm M i lii Junior Campus Police Team raises over $2,000 for MADD AMANDA RUTHERFORD Pride Staff Writer A special event occurred Saturday, September 24, in San Diego County. The event was the San Diego County fundraising walk, "Strides for Change." California State University San Marcos' very own campus police were there and raised $ 2,230 for the Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Oranization. Moreover, the campus police placed first in the Academic category at the fundraiser. The CSUSM police team is made up of S. Brown, Tina Griffith, Douglass Miller, Deb Schmidt, and Shelley Wicka. Their participation was not only a great contribution to MADD, but the commitment our police team displayed at the fundraiser also supports the CSUSM Police's mission to "build partnerships with surrounding communities, [and] to promote the University's goals and mission." CSUSM Police Department went above and beyond this year, and was able to raise an incredible amount of proceeds, exceeding their initial goal of $1,700. The police team is a perfect example of what a few people can do when they work together. The campus police in coordination with MADD hope to raise awareness and educate the public, especially students, about not drinking and driving. A few tips from MADD if you do plan on drinking: "If you plan to drink, choose a designated driver before going out " Two, "take mass transit, a taxicab, or ask a sober friend to drive you home." Lastly, two tigs that go hand in hand: "report an impaired driver if you notice' one," and "always buckle up; it can save your life." Founded 25 years ago, MADD is a non-profit organization with over 600 chapters nationwide. MADD is not against alcohol consumption, but MADD's mission is to "stop drunk driving, support the victims of this violent crime, and prevent underage drinking." Congratulations to our campus police here at CSUSM and their dedication in raising $2,230 for MADD and their cause. Hopefully their appreciated efforts will continue into the future, supporting other worthy organizations.

The Kite Runner: Campus Read stimulates conversation BY SABRINA BAGLEY Pride Staff Writer In his book, "The Books In My Life," Henry Miller writes: "A book is not only a friend, it makes friends for you. When you have possessed a book with mind and spirit, you are enriched. But when you pass it on you are enriched threefold." Recently, CSUSM has implemented a program with that ilk of enrichment in mind. In starting the Campus Read program, it is hoped that readers will form a bond via selected literature. As a result, the formation of the open forum is helping to facilitate discussion between many different groups on campus. Sponsored by the American Democracy Project, it is anticipated that book discussions and the sharing of opinions and ideas about this culturally significant novel will abound between students; faculty, and staff. Fall 2006 s selected reading was "The Kite Runner.": The author, Khaled Hosseini, was born in Kabul, Afghanistan in 1965. This semiM M ? autobiographical novel tells the story of Amir, an Afghan boy from a wealthy family. The story focuses on the impact a single decision can have on one's life. As a child, just before his family moves from Afghanistan, Amir witnesses his friend be brutally raped. Rather than intervene eventually ends up composing his own story. Later, Amir returns to Taliban controlled Kabul to find his half-brother. He finds him to be the sexual slave of a Taliban executioner, who also happens to be the same man who raped his friend. He fights to free his • brother, and they escape back to the United States. While the young man possesses a fragile emotional state, his rescue helps Amir to resolve his deep-seeded guilt. This book has gained world-, wide fame, and locally, was also chosen as Escondido's City Read. It serves as a vehicle for discussion about the historical and cultural issues as presented by Hosseini.

The New York Yankees pitcher In 1994, Lidle was a "scab" was not a very experienced pilot player during the 1994 MLB playand it was not a good day for flying er's strike. He was one of the most successful replacement players, along with Kevin Millar. It took a long time for the MLB community to accept him, but he was a good teammate and eventually won over the people he played with. After tragic things like this, I begin to wonder about the things that led to the incident. I play the what-if game, even though I probably shouldn't. Lidle was traded from the Philadelphia Phillies to the Yankees at the trading deadline. He brought his plane from his home in Florida up'to New Jersey when he was . traded. Ifhe was never traded from the Phillies to the Yankees, would this have happened? I don't think so, since his off-season would have already begun about two weeks prior, and he likely would have already been in Florida. Of course, this could have happened anywhere. I also wonder, had he not been a pro athlete, would he have had such an expensive hobby. He purchased his small four-seat plane for 187,000 thousand dollars. Many athletes take up golf or buy a business to keep them busy in the off-season, but athletes now are beginning to play with more expensive things, like their lives. Remember Ben Roethlisberger, Kellen Winslow Jr., Jay Williams, and their motorcycle accidents? Fortunately, those guys weie all lucky to live through their accidents and return to their sports. Anyone who flies a plane always says that you're safer in a plane than in your own car driving on the freeway. That may be true, however, why put .yourself in a situation that you don't need to be in? It's nearly essential to drive a t ar, but it isn't essential toflya plane for hobby, especially when you have so much to lose. For a little perspective, here is the most remarkable story I heard on the day of the accident It came from Alan Schwarz, a senior writer from "Baseball America." A week before the accident, Lidle invited Schwarz for aflightin his plane. Schwarz always wanted to fly in one of the planes that Lidle owned, but he declined the invite because he and his wife just had a newborn baby and knew it could be a dangerous situation. Lidle was 34 years old, had a wife and child. Unfortunately, this is what it took for the sports media to stop talking about Terrell Owens, and Alex Rodriguez' postseason struggles.

Jaffe has authored 13 books and a collection of essays. For his performance at CSUSM, Jaffe chose five narratives: "Panther," "Salaam," "Things to do During Time of War,". "Potlatch," and "Monk and Suicide Bomber." "I hoped the [readings] would constitute an informative and even pleasurable grouping," said Jaffe. Each narrative lasted approximately ten minutes. The entire performance lasted almost one hour. Jaffe read most of the material. Mark Wallace, who has been an assistant professor at CSUSM for two years, read major parts as well. Two other female performers read briefly during "Salaam." Travas Rivas, majoring in Literature and Writing and graduating Spring 2008, said he was "absolutely" satisfied with Jaffe's performance. "His reading [brought] a different perspective and understanding you can't get out by reading his pieces," said Rivas. Patrick Ayson supplied music throughout the entire performance which provided a background to the readings. The music really enhanced the performance. "Patrick and I got together and did a little experimenting. I wanted to let Patrick do what he wanted to add a chance vector," explained Jaffe after the performance. "Patrick is a really fine young keyboard player and sound technician, and I think people will be hearing more about him as time goes on," said Wallace. I enjoyed "Panther" the most, the first narrative read solely by Jaffe. In this narrative, Jaffe explains his transition from a panther to a human. Jaffe wore black jeans, a black dress shirt with rolled up sleeves to his biceps, a pair of black-tinted sun glasses, an almost evil-looking full beard, and to complete the ensemble he wore two black leather gloves on each hand. The content w is very intriguing. He describes the surgery required to conceal his true identity as a panther and how he has to keep himself from jumping over the podium and savaging the audience because he still is a panther on the inside, I was almost scared to a certain extent. I felt myself being attracted to another world out of the Grand Salon in the Clarke Field House at CSUSM. I drifted into a fictional world where panthers were capable of con- verting into humans. The style in which Jaffe delivered his performance was very convincing and the music that Ayson created as Jaffe read aloud added to the surreal element and combined to create an overall creepy feeling. The four narratives provided humorous moments as well, and the audience, including myself, let out loud bursts of laughter. Other moments during the readings made me think deeply. The whole performance was very fascinating and thought-provoking. "Overall, I was really very happy with the reading and really look forward to more readings on campus that are coming up. It's great that the school is giving its students an opportunity to hear published authors read form their work, and [I] would like to see this kind of thing happen more often on campus," said Rivas.

If you're a real movie fan, you know this one is a sure thing: Martin Scorsese, a crime tale, and a bunch of Hollywood mantalent. Set in Boston, it's a typical Scorsese blood-and-guts film (think "Casino," "Taxi Driver"). Here's a comparison: it's darker than, but has the compelling story of "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels," without the intersecting plot lines and oodles of characters to remember. But it's tamer than "Reservoir Dogs" or "Pulp Fiction," with a more commercial, solid crime-suspense story. In fact, the story is as enthralling as the acting, especially good for someone with a short term memory like me (who sometimes wonders halfway through a film, "Who who, what what?''). Such a person will thoroughly enjoy "The Departed," as the plot is easy to follow, but engaging—I never once wondered how long we had been in the theater, but wondered what the hell was going to happen next: true evidence of cinematic captivation. The story centers on a sort of Boston Mafia, headed by Frank Costello, and the Boston State Police. Costello, played by none other than Jaek Nicholson, picks a young Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon) to mentor into his gang. Later, Sullivan enters the police academy and slickly infiltrates the "Staties" Organized Crime Unit as a detective. There he warns "Dad" Costello every time the police are onto him. The only problem is two detectives, Queenan (Martin Sheen) and Digriam (Mark Wahlberg), who place a freshly graduated cop, Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio), as a Costello infor- mant. Planted in jail and drug deals, Billy wins Costello's confidence and joins the gang. This is when the story gets good. Entirely unaware of each other, Costigan calls the cops on Costello while Sullivan calls them off. Voila, both sides smell a rat. Costigan and Sullivan, one fearing his life and the other his job, both desperately try to identify the other. It goes on like that for a long, satisfyingly suspenseful while. Of course there's blood and stuff, and a love triangle, but I won't tell you who gets popped or who's the baby's daddy or how it-ends., I'm not that rude. Because you are going to see this movie, if only to gawk at Mark Wahlberg (who my husband and I could only refer to as "Marky-Mark") and his bull-cut-damn-near-mullet. Wahlberg also delivers most of the requisite off-color jokes, though they're strewn left and right by the cops and the bad guys so much, they're distracting. Also distracting are the Boston accents. I'm a sucker for even the slightest male Eastern accent, but these ones don't work, even for Massachusetts natives Wahlberg and Damon (whose charming Boston accent was still deliciously intact for "Good Will Hunting"). Still, Damon's is most believable compared to the others, which seem to fade iñ and out; I don't think Leo even attempts his. But Nicholson, predictably, is extremely believable as the half-crazy crime boss Costello. Damon, who typically doesn't play the bad-guy role, does it well because he looks so much like a good guy—the key to being secretly bad. And Leo, fíate to say, is excellent. His portrayal of a stresscrazed police informant/crime apprentice is consistently excellent. I grudgingly admit "The Departed" might have made me á fan. Don't overlook this classic suspense film. Oscar certainly won't. Image courtesy of Warner Brothers �Drink of the Week fall ris p BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer As most apple-lovers well know, apple season blossoms in late September and continues well into November. Though, due to storage techniques available today, apples are available year-round, and for the traditionalist there is really no more appealing time than autumn to enjoy them. Along with pears, peaches plums, and apricots, to name a few, the apple is a member of the rose family, a fact perhaps most beautifully expressed in Robert Frost's poem, "The Rose Family." This healthful fruit, rich in fiber and flavonoids, has long been praised for its ability to "keep the doctor away" and was associated in ancient times with immortality and reincarnation. The apple was also a symbol of love and fertility and often associated with wisdom. Taking all this into consideration, is it really any wonder that Gwyneth Paltrow named her firstborn after this most remarkable of fruits? ^ ^ i l ^ f i | Perhaps, though, even Eve would blush at the vast array of apple recipes modern apple-connoisseurs have at their disposal. Aside from such mainstream favorites as apple pie, apple turnovers, candied apples, caramel apples, and the more exotic delights, such as apple tabouleh and apple risotto, there is the sweetly sinful collection of appleinspired cocktails. One of the simplest apple cocktails is the Fall Crisp. A mixture of 1 to 2 ounces of vodka and 14 ounces of apple cider, shaken in a cocktail shaker with ice and ALESMITH EVIL DEAD R ED ALE Beer of the Week strained into a Collins glass, the Fall Crisp deliciously lives up to its name. It is not only crisp, but it's also sweet and definitely refreshing: By no means a drink one would drink expressly to get drunk, the Fall Crisp will nonetheless produce a pleasant buzz. For a festive alternative, take a walk on the wild side and substitute sparkling apple cider. Either way, it is possible to drink one's apple a day. Live long and prosper.

No, what's so refreshing about The Oohlas is that it's fairly clear it never occurred to band members Olivia Stone and brothers, Mark and Greg Eklund, to shape their sound into a clearly definable genre. Sometimes eletronica, sometimes indie-rock that invokes the spirit of Beck, the band's sound is a combination of loud, toe-tapping riffs and reserved harmonies that contrast in a way that works with the dark subject matter of the album. The ride of the album is spacey. The opening track on the album, "Gone," evokes a topsyturvy feeling reminiscent of the final scene of "The Labyrinth" Float through the perfect harmonies and scratchy guitar riffs; this one is well-worth the ride. The highlight of the album is Stone's vocals, however, which dominate most of the tracks. Her sweet sound on the track "Tripped" belies the song's dark subject matter: "You're aging fast/Your skull is thick/Keep drinking darkness stupid prick/ And I'd rather die than watch you drown/Breathing the dust and shoving coffee down." It's one of the many tracks devoted to what is, seemingly, a story of love lost. "TV Dinner" is another favorite and a true shining moment for Stone. Here she ditches the reserved tone and breaks out mid-track into an accusatory cry of anguish: "I don't know where to go anymore/Why don't you love me?*' The final track is the pinnacle of the album; "The Rapid" has a sound epic enough for a Coldplay single with its steady, building sound. Here the band quietly asserts a claustrophobic need: "There are too many people here/Far too many people near/ I don't want to get too close/It's not healthy." The sound is complex, but here Stone's amiable voice compliments the MiddleEastern rhythm in a soothing DA O Fin?CnrAT R G NO E R DDViirf? T way, a departure from the fastpaced tracks that play before it. It's a joy to listen to—again, despite the subject matter—and a nice finish to our space ride through "Best Stop Pop." Although much of the album is a delight, tracks with one of the two Eklunds on lead vocals fall short. By comparison they seem bland and tired—a sound we've heard before (see Beck Images courtesy of The Oohlas above). Stone makes the difference here, her sharp intonation a truly unique sound from other current albums. Although I give the album four paws, it's probably best suited for those already comfortable with artists a little offbeat. Fans of alternative should find The Oohlas' upbeat tempos familiar, but with an overall refreshing sound and, in a word, different. ; oninbi in nLrt 1 Concert Review BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer An adrenaline-charged and energized line wrapped around the House of Blues last October 6. With a ratio of 15 males to every female, the air was thick with testosterone and heavy with aggressive fury, As eager fans compared notes on metal band trivia, the members of DragonForce could be heard in the dungeon below warming up their fiery vocals, unloading a heavy round of progressive metal thundAs the clock struck 7 p.m., the doors to the dark venue opened, and the mob of DragonForce fanatics charged the floor, Within minutes, hundreds of sweaty fans pounded theirfistsin the air and crowded the general admission floor, causing the overflow of fans to pour into the outlying rooms and stairwells. Hailing from London, DragonForce unleashes a sonic plague of merciless shred and callous metal. Signed to Road Runner Records, the six-piece band released their third album, "Inhuman Rampage," earlier this year. All That Remains, opener for DragonForce, packed up their equipment after a .solid set, clearing the way for the brutal mutiny that would soon blast House of Blues to its core. A fulsome orange countdown timer ticked away as a threedimensional metal backdrop with "In&uer r man Rampage" splattered in large red text dropped down to frame the stage. Grounded by pulsating bass and metal riffage pounding through the walls, the experience itself was no small feat. The restless crowd chanted and stomped, "Drag-on-FORCE! Drag-on-FORCE!" in hopes of awakening the bestial band. A montage of red lights flooded the stage, haunting the shadows of the equipment and blinding inebriated onlookers, ZP Theart, lead singer for DragonForce, jumped onto the raised platform, a large fan blowing his black hair all over, and spat water onto the closest audience members as he roared "San Diego! How are all you mutha-Pckers?!" with his brash British accent. The house went crazy, With an army of guitars locked and loaded, the members of DragonForce prowled around audience members like predators, rioting song after song like "Revolution Deathsquad," and "Storming the Burning Fields." Inciting "Operation Ground and Pound" next, the metal Gods rained down a divine cataclysm of devastating cho^s. : As the night progressed, the "wow" factor held strong as RedBull and Jaeger kept the 21+ gathering upstairs in check, With unforgiving vocals and tormented solos, DragonForce gave it their all, interacting with the crowd to a degree I had never witnessed before.

Masks or no masks, it's that time of the year again, and students campuswide are gearing up and getting ready for the annual excursion. Last year, only days before the dance, ASI sold out of the 500 tickets they had available. When they reached their maximum capacity at the HardRock Café in La Jolla, they simply decided that one dance a year was not enough and later held the first ever Spring Fling. This year, in order to meet the demand of the student body, ASI moved the event to H.O.B. in the Gaslamp. ASI Coordinator of Student Activities, Sara Gallegos, saysi "We expect to sell out at 1,000 tickets." With less than one week left before the ball, 755 tickets have already been sold at the rate of lt)0 tickets per week. Gallegos believes that the Masquerade Ball and other events put on by ASI are growing ever more popular as enrollment increases along with the higher number of younger students attending CSUSM. Although the H.O.B. has a restaurant, students and their guests will occupy the music hall and bar. ASI recommends that students eat at the surrounding restaurants.

Tuberculosis: Edgar Allen Poe died from it. Nelson Mandela lives with it. And last week at San Diego State University, a foreign exchange student living in the dorms was diagnosed with it. Although most people believe he contracted the disease overseas, it does not take much for tuberculosis to spread. TB is spread through the air from sneezes, coughs, and even from just talking with a person face to face. Symptoms of tuberculosis include an unusual feeling of weakness, weight loss, night sweats, coughing, and chest pain. Ultimately, those who are at higher risk for Image cöurtesy of contracting the versapharm.com disease are people who share the same breathing space with those who have TB. But j ust because someone is infected with the bacteria that causes tuberculosis, does not mean they will contract it, only 10% of individuals develop the actual disease. If individuals do not develop the.disease, the tuberculosis bacteria strain remains dormant in their system. Some individuals are not capable of fighting off the infection which causes the bacteria to grow. As a result, these individuals eventually develop active tuberculosis and experience the ailing shortcomings of the chronic disease.

ÌCF will do this with the help of volunteers, CSUSM students, and their AIDS in Africa tent. The twenty-foot long tent, on the grass in front of the library, will display pictures the fever of adults and children in Africa living with AIDS. CSUSM students will stand in front of the tent and welcome people inside where they will be given headphones to listen to testimonies of people who have suffered from AIDS. As they listen, they will have the opportunity to view pictures in the surrounding tentt. Upon leaving the AIDS in Africa tent, students will be given a stamp on their hand that declares them HIV positive or negative, pertaining to the statistics of people who have AIDS in Africa. IFC's mission is to experience God, and change the world. Their mission for the tent is to have CSUSM students respond economically, politically and spiritually. They hope the emotional impact will cause the students to react in any way they can, whether it is raising funds, writing letters to senators, or praying to God. Ultimately they want each student to ask themselves one question: How can I take action?

For those living in close proximity to one another, such as in the dorms on campus (where most apartments have six roommates to an apartment), the best way to prevent tuberculosis is to keep the apartment well ventilated. A PPD skin test is the easiest way to detect the TB infection or the TB disease in an individual. If an individual tests positive for the infection, chest X-rays would be required for a doctor to see if the disease caused any permanent lung damage. Even if an individual has the TB infection, they cannot spread it to others. However, it will be easier for them to develop the TB disease in the future. For those who have the inactive TB, the best way to kill the infection is to take Isoniazid or INH antibiotics for nine months with one pill a day. Those with the TB infection or disease must participate in regular checkups for the rest of their life. Infected individuals would then take a course of INH antibiotics. After treatment there is a less than 1% chance that the individual will develop the TB disease. cepts that ultimately lead to a healthy lifestyle and can prevent tuberculosis among other diseases. They are familiar to us as the otfe piece of advice we hear over and over again: adequate amounts of sleep, continuous exercise and a healthy diet.

One click on "add to favorites" and Wikipedia became my main online research tool. I typically use Wikipedia for school, but lately I have been using the website for personal use as well. For example, I wanted to know what the "check digit" was regarding the vehicle identification number (VIN) for my car.

However, one problem currently facing administrators is making new students aware of its availability here on campus. / Students currently studying a foreign language on campus are encouraged to stop by the LLC, because of the wonderful help provided by its tutors.

After all, "It's Free!" says Michael Hughes, CSUSM Assistant Professor of German and Spanish. Hughes also encourages his students to go to the Language Lab and get help from the tutors on their papers and homework. Another student, Randy Saldivar, a senior and President of the Kamalayan Alliance, raves about the LLC tutors: "Peter Vu was a great help to me when it came to understanding and practicing my Japanese." It seems that the general consensus is that the tutors are truly helpful at the LLC. Interestingly enough, the LLC contains many computer workstations that vary from televisions and cassette tape players, to interactive computers with built-in specialized language tools. The language tools are pivotal in facilitating the correct applications of language translations. The translating capacity and Photo by Nocholas Vandeusen / The Pride Language Learning Center located in University Hall Rooms 240 and 260. degree of specialization the LLC offers could mean the difference between an "A" paper and a "C" paper. One final note about the technology in the LLC is that it contains a "vast variety of audio and visual equipment that help out with students' learning experience of a foreign language," says Saldivar. "Lastly and maybe most importantly, is the fact that the collaboration between CSUSM professors and the LLC staff is what really makes the LLC advantageous to CSUSM students. To create a more conducive learning environment for students, professors such as Hughes, implement lesson plans that integrate tutor participation during specific lectures. Another objective the Centers for Learning and Academic Support Services (CLASS) has is to centralize the many student-based services here on campus. Located in Craven 4107, Senior CLASS Director Lorena Meza affirms that, "We are here to support our students by providing them with the resources necessary for academic excellence." Promoting the edification of his peers, Lewis adds, "I [would] definitely recommend it to other students." Next time you're struggling with your Spanish, consider going to the Language Learning Center/Language Lab for all of you foreign language needs, or just for a quiet place to study.

On the course, their only tournament win came in the Region II Championships against three other teams with mediocre talent. Off of the course, the team was withcpt Coach Fred Hanover, who was dismissed from his position. Things started to turn around towards the end of t he season last year when the women were able to place fourth at Nationals. The momentum continued during t he summer when Hanover was brought back to his role of bead coach. Last week, the Cougars continued the good news as they opened their 2006 season with a victory at The Grand Canyon Fall 'invitational in West Phoenix, Ariz. ^ "It feels fantastic,*? says Hanover. "They did everything necessary t o, have a successful tournament." As a team, the Cougars shot 609, which was 11 shots less than second place team, Southern Nazarene (620). The winner of the individual tournament was CSUSM Senior Jennell French, her first win since the 2005 Cougar Classic. French managed to finish her two round total with 146 (73-73). "I've been working very hard," says French. "It's impressive that we all came together as a team." Men's C.C. Takes 4th at Riverside; Meija Shines Again According to French, her last three holes were the highlights of the tournament. "I finished birdie, birdie, par, and I was behind the last three holes," reports French. Apparently her performance was contagious to her Cougar teammates. Sophomore Ellyse Siu stood out among her teammates, displaying significant improvement since her freshman year, and finishing fourth with a two^round total of 150 (76-74). "Best performance I've ever had," says Siii. "Everything felt right.", Senior Christina Austin shared 12th place with a score of 156 (79-77), and one shot behind was Carly Ludwig, a junior, with a score of 157 (80-77). Hanover and t he Cougars continue to set their sights on the National Championship for the 2006-2007 year. However, Hanover insists there is much room for improvement before National's in the spring. "Hopefully they will continue to play hard and even better," says Hanover, "I don't even think this is their best performance." Hanover's goals are certainly not lost on the team's performance. "We really have a strong team this year," French says. "Everyone wants to play well, make our school look good, and represent CSUSM." csu The California State University WORKING f OR CALIFORNIA CSU Students and Faculty Deserve the Best CSU students and the faculty at our 23 campuses need and deserve a learning environment that is conducive to providing quality education. That is why the CSU is disappointed that the California Faculty Association did not allow its members to evaluate the most recent proposal put on the table by the CSU, which includes: • A 24.87 percent salary increase over four years, beginning in 2006/07, contingent upon funding of the Compact with the Governor and an additional I percent augmentation f or compensation • Continuation of the Faculty Early Retirement Program (FERP), reducing the number of years from five to four • Incentive and equity pay program for full professors and tenure-track professors • No changes to faculty eligibility for PERS retirement • Health and dental benefits above the standard for California and other universities • Attractive lecturer rights • Gradually increased parking fees for faculty so at the end of 4 years they pay the same parking fees as students The CSU hopes these issues can be resolved soon so that our faculty can receive the salary increases they deserve, and our students can continue receiving the quality education they expect from the California State University. For more details please visit the CSU web site at http://wvvwx,aistatexvdu/bargaining~ status/ Though they are just three events into the season, the CSUSM men's cross country team is giving Cougar fans plenty of reason to get excited about the squad's potential to compete at Nationals. At the UC Riverside Cross Country Invitational on Sunday, the men placed a solid fourth place out of 15 teams. This comes one week after they posted a second place finish at San Diego State, and two weeks after finishing fifth in their season-opener at Irvine. In ail; three events, the squad was led by senior Juan Mejia, who appears poised to carve out a place for himself in the program's history. At Riverside on Sunday, Mejia notched his second top-5 finish in three events, taking 4th place. He finished the fivemile run with a time of24:29.40. He was followed by Phil Hoffman, who placed 18th with a time of 25:19.70. Just behind him was Mike Crouch, finishing 22nd. Rounding out the Cougars' top five were Sergio Gonzalez (35th), and Thomas Thys (39th). The event was narrowly won by Southern Utah, who edged out host school U.C. Riverside. Cal Poly Pomona took third place, followed by CSUSM. Below are the full results of the Cougars' top-5 runners, with their place for team-scoring purposes (not including runners who participated individually). Top 5 Cougar Men*4 Juan Meija 24:29.40 •17 Phil Hoffman25:19.70 »21 Mike Crouch 25:30.40*32 Sergio Gonzalez 25:59.50«36 Thomas Thys 26:09.00 Resounding 4-0 Victory over La Sierra for Men's Soccer Coming off an emotional 1-0 win at Biola, the Cougar men won in a much less thrilling, but equally effective fashion on Sunday, coasting to a 4-0 home victory over La Sierra. From the opening kickoff, it was clear that CSUSM (9-2) had the upper hand. The Cougars controlled play throughout the first half, connecting on passes to create scoring opportunities and shutting down La Sierra's offense entirely. The Cougars' back line was impenetrable, with fullbacks Brian Luhrs and Chris Dunckel playing especially strong defensive games. La Sierra could not generate any kind of sustained attack on Cougar keeper Trent Painter; who, with the help of the strong defense, earned his sixth shutout of the season. The 4-0 score would hold up for the Cougars' ninth win in eleven tries this season. The team appears to have rebounded stronger than ever from its last loss, a 2-1 heartbreaker against Vanguard University two weeks ago, as evidenced by its wins over Biola and now La Sierra. The team will carry its momentum into three straight road games, the first being on October 7 at UC Santa Cruz. �Tuesday, October 3, 2006 OPINION THE PRIDE Jock talk w ith Josh: "T.O." BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Sports Writer Who said Terrell Owens doesn't care about other people? He nearly made me happy with his "accidental overdose" on September 26. I can count on one hand the number of people in sports that I don't like to write or talk about; Terrell Owens is one of those people. The reports of his "accidental overdose," which he talked about last week, were the final straw for me. Owens likes the spotlight. Who doesn't like the spotlight? I know I love it, but I know I wouldn't go to the lengths that he has gone to, to maintain it. Name another star wide receiver in the NFL that has a publicist speaking for him. I think Owens has used a spokesperson more over the past six years than George W. Bush has. Tell me another player in the league that has Deion Sanders stepping outside of hi& home to ward off the media. That's kind of like being a prostitute and having a stripper defend your character. Deion isn't exactly the best person to have in your corner. Name another player in the league that hires unintelligent personnel to mediate that spotlight. There are so many sketchy things around this whole "accidental overdose." First off, I have spent more than my fair share of time in the hospital for various surgeries. I have also taken many different types of painkillers. Before doctors hand out those types of drugs, they make sure they know every other medication that you are taking, so that something doesn't mix wrong and you end up killing yourself. With that said, Owens' claim that his painkillers mixed wrong with supplements that he was taking is something that is not very believable in my mind. He also claimed to have taken extra painkillers the night of the incident. Owens is notorious for monitoring what he puts in his body. The man doesn't drink alcohol or smoke anything. He doesn't take anything in excess, so now he's telling us that he took a few extra painkillers? That doesn't follow his personality. Having a sketchy story to begin with is one thing, but having incompetent people around you is another. Kim Etheredge, Owens' publicist, is quite possibly the worst publicist I have ever seen. While she was fielding questions from the media on September 27, she did so many things wrong. She showed up at the press conference looking completely haggard. She wasn't dressed in business attire and she looked like she had just woken up in a gutter. In the communication business, non-verbal communication is sometimes more important than the verbal aspects (shout out to all my Communication professors). Her job is to get people on Owens' side. Talk about an impossible job. Her job is to not make it obvious that she is trying to get public opinion in her favor, but she failed to do so. She tried way too hard to look like she had been up all night worrying about her client. It doesn't take very long to jump in the shower and dress in business attire. She also ruined it with two statements that stuck out in my head. In the middle of the press conference she said,. "Had this been someone else, this might not have happened." She is referring to this circus not even being a possibility for anyone else in the league. She couldn't be more right, because no one else in the league wants this kind of negative attention. Owens is the only person in the league who doesn't care what kind of attention he gets, just as long as he gets attention. Also, news flash to her, if Owens wasn't Owens then she wouldn't have a job. The second ignorant comment that she made actually occurred as she was leaving the press conference when she said, "Terrell has 25 million reasons why he should be alive." Reminding the public how much money Owens is going to make is not a smart idea, especially when the average person can't even fathom what 25 million dollars looks like. Building a further divide like that is not good public relations. I really despise the media in situations like this. I can't stand E.SPN, because they, along with the rest of journalists across the world, created his enormous ego. "T.O." would still be Terrell Owens, if it weren't for the media. If it weren't for ESPN, Owens wouldn't have an audience for his freak show. The 3 p.m. PST Sportscenter on September 27 spent nearly the whole hour talking about him. It's really sad that ESPN spent pretty much the same time on Owens that they did covering the New Orleans Saints first game back in the Superdome after Hurricane Katrina. I hope Terrell Owens and ESPN run a fly pattern off a building somewhere.

We got some work to do now. Scooby-Dooby-Doo, Where Are You? We need some help from you now," plays in my head as I take the first sip of my Scooby Snack. The Hanna-Barbera produced cartoon, "Scooby Doo," is the inspiration for this tasty treat: the Scooby Snack cocktail. A smooth mixture of Midori, Malibu Rum, pineapple juice and whipped cream, the Scooby Snack is not only a popular choice, but it's the best tasting cocktail I've ever had. In the cartoon, Shaggy and Scooby, known for fending off ghouls and monsters, chow down on Scooby Snacks—which in the show are caramel-flavored cookies—all the time. I'm not sure how such a delicious drink came to be, and earned the name "Scooby Snack," but it's only fitting that we celebrate the mystery-loving spirit inside each of us with the month of Halloween upon us by indulging in the rich and delectable drink. Served chilled in a Collins glass, the Scooby Snack suits just about any occasion. Creamy, sweet and mouthwatering, the whipped cream is the icing on the cake for this mixed drink. A "far out" delight of spectacular measures, the Scooby Snack fits into the category of what the cartoon Scooby snacks were described as: a flavorful, fictional food item of peculiar and uncertain origin. Minus the fictional aspect, the Scooby Snack is all of the above. After doing research on Scooby Snacks, I discovered that i|ot only are Scooby Snacks a Beer trademarked product that Warner Bros, markets as a brand of dog treats and as a human-friendly cookie snack, but that Scooby Snack is also slang for "magic mushrooms" that alter one's state of consciousness. What does this information have to do with the irresistible cocktail, you ask? Well, as it turns out, the name "Scooby Snack" has been used for dozens of other products and consumable materials (beverages included) that are as alluring as they are unexplainable; just as the taste and my experience of consuming a Scooby Snack cocktail was unbelievable, yet simultaneously inexplicable. If only we knew who created the mystifying combination of the yummy elements, then we might be able to shed behind the S cooby Snack and perhaps thank its creator. Until then, I guess the Scooby Snack will remain a mystery.,. N EW!!!

While the overall taste is not unpleasant, it's not particularly complex and perhaps a little sweet for an Oktoberfest brew. The aftertaste is warm, slightly dry and bitter. Karl Strauss Oktoberfest is stronger and darker than their normal brews and while it is not as complex or as bold as some other Oktoberfest brews, the result is a very drinkable beer. Next week we will look at a final Oktoberfest beer for the season brewed in the United States: Samuel Adams' Oktoberfest brew. m 10ft.

The Web Scheduler allows CSUSM students to schedule advising appointments according to their declared major or their major of interest. The Web Scheduler suggests that students with an undeclared major status or students with no specific major of interest visit the Career Center, located in Craven Hall Room 4201. The older version of the Web Scheduler closed after midnight on Thursdays and reopened at 10 AM on Mondays. If no appointments were available then students had to continue logging onto the Web Scheduler daily to check for available appointments from Monday after 10 AM to Thursday before midnight. If students were not able to successfully make an advising appointment then they would have to wait until the following Monday at 10 AM to start the whole process all over again. For the Fall Semester however, the Web Scheduler no longer closes. Students can log onto the Web Scheduler to make an appointment whenever they want. Students can also make an advising appointment in advance of 7-12 days. Advising appointments provide opportunities for students to meet with advisors for assistance in graduating.

A contractor working in the Academic Hall accidentally struck and disabled a hidden electrical feeder for the lights on the third and fourth floor of the building. Fortunately, the contractor was not injured in the accident. Shortly after the accident, the Facilities Services department notified the Communications Office who sent out a mass email to notify students of the situation. Yellow signs were posted on the doors of the ACD building warning students of electrical repairs being performed through out the day on the first,, third, and fourth floors, with the corresponding classroom relocations. The Academic Scheduling department was notified of the accident on Friday morning and made adjustments to classes in affected areas. Two classes, Communications 360 and Kinesiology 202, which are scheduled in classrooms on the fourth andfirstfloorsrespectively, were relocated to Markstein Hall for the day. The repaif work went fairly smoothly and was completed by Facility Services during the day on Friday. Fortunately this prevents the need for further class relocations, and all classes are scheduled to be held in their regular rooms on Monday.

The public-works bonds which are being run along with Bond ID for transportation, housing, and flood control, (titled Bonds IB, 1C, and IE respectively) may make the passage of each individual bond more difficult. The proposed package is considerably larger than previous bond packages, the previous largest state bond proposal being the $15 billion dollar deficit reduction bond in 2004. That bond, which was named at the time Proposition 57, was a one time Economic Recovery Bond to pay off the state's accumulated General Fund deficit. Seen by voters as necessary to avoid a state fiscal crisis, Proposition 57 passed by an overwhelming margin of 63% to 36%. The bond package IB-IE however does not carry the same level of necessity in the minds of some voters as Proposition 57 did. This difference in perception along with the hefty price tag may lead to the bonds' eventual defeat. Last month a poll by the non partisan Public Policy Institute of California stated that 59 percent of California voters considered the $43 billion in debt that would be accumulated by the bond package's passing would be "too much". To help shore up support for the it, Governor Schwarzenegger along with the four top legislative leaders—including Democrats state Senate President Pro Tempore Don Perata and Speaker Fabian Nunez—are scheduled for several news conferences on October 3 and 4 to promote the bond package.

Illustration by David Gatley/ The Pride BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Sports Writer I don't view sports as a f an/ T don't get too high or too low when, my team wins or loses, which is why I can work in the sports industry and still maintain my sanity. Last time I lived and died with my team I was in little league. At least that was the case until September 18, when the Padres and Dodgers played one of the most remarkable games I have ever seen. On that day the Padres gave up back to back to back to back jacks in the ninth inning and a game winning homer in the tenth inning to lose to the Dodgers 11-10. Being a Padres fan, you would think I would hang around more Padres fans than Dodgers fans, but that is not the case. Some of my closest friends roll with the blue crew, so as this division chase winds down between the two teams, friendships are being tested. The following are the conversations I had with several people on the evening of September 18 through the morning of September 19. At 9:54PM the Padres todk a lead of 6-4 in the eighth inning so I text messaged my friend Paul, a dodgers fan, "Oh yaaaaa". He simply responds with a couple of expletives. At 10:12PM the Dodgers grabbed one of those runs back and Paul replies to me, "I don't think I can handle much more of this game/' 10:25PM rolls around and the Padres score their first of three runs in the ninth inning. Paul responds with, "Okay... that's it...we aint getting 2 off Trevor... 1 and a halfback." I respond with quite possibly the most clairvoyant prediction of my life, "I dunno man. This game is sketchy. 3 runs I am still not confident with." 10:30PM comes and the Padres finish the inning with a 9-5 lead and Paul says, "How about now?!" Making that transition from journalist to fan I say, "Haha. I am satisfied now." He responds with a "Good! We just had to keep giving you runs until you were." The clock reaches 10:34PM and I am feeling stoked about being a game and a half ahead. Then Jeff Kent homers and Paul responds sarcastically with, "Yay...3 more," 10:35PM comes and J.D. Drew jacks one so Paul responds with an "Oh s**t." Before I know it I am being bombarded with phone calls. Paul callsfirstand myfirstwords were, "Told you I was uneasy." Those of you who live in Temecula, where Paul was viewing the game, know that area gets the .Dodgers telecast, where as San Diegans get the Padres on channel 4 San Diego. What most don't know is that the Dodgers telecast is on 6 second delay compared to the Padres telecast. 10:38PM and Trevor Hoffman is finally called into the game and the first pitch is sent over the fence. As this happens I am seeing it before Paul does and I simply respond with a few expletives of my own this time. Frantically he is confused for those first 6 seconds until he sees my hopes go over the fence. One pitch later I let out some more expletives and Paul responds with a, "you're kidding me, right?" The Padres got out of the inning and I got a call from my Uncle Rene, a Padres fan who lives in Los Angeles. He is watching the game at a sports bar with a bunch of Dodgers fans and among others, Eric Davis, a former Dodger. I make him look like a genius with the whole 6 second delay as he wins several bar bets on what's going to happen next in the game. That would be the highlight of the night for either of us. The game goes into the tenth inning and the Padres grab a 109 lead, so once again I am feeling confident. I finally settle down and decide to join my grandfather for the bottom of the tenth inning. As I sit down, Nomar Garciaparra jacks a 2 run homer over the left field fence to win the game. Then the phone calls start ringing in again, but that isn't the half of it. As Ifinallyget to sleep that night, I figure I won't have to relive that nightmare. That is until I get to my second class on September 19. My friend Karin, a Dodgers fan, gives me a look as I sit down, and I know exactly what she's thinking so I simply say, "Don't say a word." To this day I am still being mocked for that game. So, if you're a Dodgers fan, just don't say a word until the playoffs. As you can see I am still not over it.

A xo^ter with plenty of experience and a few strong he^cditfers should make the 2006-2007 season ian exciting one for the men's gplf team. Last year, the squad placed well in many tournaments, including second place finishes at the Bill Cullum Invite^ Pala Mesa Invitational, and Cal State San Marcos Invitational. This success came despite not having a single senior on the roster. Now, eight golfers return: from last year's team, each with another year of experience under their belts. Scott' Conway and Matt Determari should lead the team. Conway, who was named to the All-Region Team following last season, posted the fourth best overall score in the entire field at the Region II National Championship?. He has also been putting up great scores in off-season August 21 2006. It was ai^ overwhelming end to last season — the squ&d not only won the NAIA Region II Championship, but went on to place fourth at Nationals; the team's highest finish in the seven years ¡since its inception. With the bar set high, the coming year will be more intense than ever* Fall and spring will prove to be a busy time for the Lady Cougars, as the tournament schedule is more full than usual. Five tentative tournaments are scheduled for the fall, and the sprmgrseason is highlighted by the annual Cougar Invitational. During this event, the top NAIA schools travel to San Marcos to compete. Though the competition will befierpethroughout the fall and spring seasons,ft'willserve to prepare the team to be in National Championship contention once again. Within the team itself, competition will be ratcheted up as well. The combination of four talented newcomers with the fact that last year's team featured just one senior means this squad will be full of competition, experience, and excitement. With the great finish to last season, the ladies on this team know what they iyre capable of achieving and 'anticipate stretching their skills and abilities to tournament^. Deternian, a junior, has also: posted great scores in tournaments following the season. These tournaments help the golfers prepare for the fall season, and both Conway and Determan appear poised to have great years for CSUSM. To complement that experience, four new golfers are in school and will compete • for spots oh tournament rosters. Talented freshmen < Ryan Brotman, Kyle Kelch, and Arek Legarra will be on the -competition roster beginning this fall, and junior Markus Wended a transfer student from Sweden, will bring excitement to the squad. ' Betweep the talent that the team brings back froiri last year and the incoming players,, San Marcos has a great season to look forward to. Men's Soccer back on winning track; defeating Biola 1-0 September 22 2006. Coming off i ts first loss since its opening match, the Cal State San Marcos men's isoccer teanf(8-2) quickly righted the ship on Friday, defeating a previously unbeaten Biola squad (41) by a score of 1-0 in what was a tremendous soccer game. Scormg"oppSftunities were few and far between in the tightly contested match. Luckily for CS&S&I, Curtis Marcikic got the Cougars on the board early. Just under 6 minutes into the match, Chris Wyatt controlled a ball in Biola territory. From a sharp angle, he struck a cross to the opposite side of the net, finding Marcikic all alone at the far post. Though the cross handcuffed him, Marcikic managed to redirect the ball into the net with his hip, giving CSUSM an unlikely 1-0 lead That would be all the Cougars' defense wouldneed. After Marcikic's goal, CSUSM managed only one more shot on goal for the duration of the match, but was able to fend off all of Biola's attacks. Cougar keeper Trent Painter was his usual self, barking out instructions to his defenders, making good decisions, and stopping both shots on goal he faced. In the waning minutes of the match, Biola mounted a ferocious charge, nearly equalizing the game multiple times with some hard shots and free kicks that just missed. But despite all this, CSUSM never lost its composure, weathering the storm until the final whistle blew. For the Cougars, Friday's win should be a major confidence builder. The squad was coming off a tough loss, playing on t he^acf and involved in one of its first night games in cold and windy conditions, yet still managed to best a very good Biola* team that entered the game 4-0. Following the game, assistant coach Bobby Renneisen had nothing but praise for both teams; "This was the best team we've faced all year" says Renneisen. "It was just a great college soccer game. It could have gone either way." Renneisen added that Biola has 4 or 5 players with "special" talent. All of this makes the Cougars' performance on Friday even more impressive, and bodes very well for the team's outlook for the rest of the season. After a well-deserved week off, the Cougar men will be in action again when they host a very tough La Sierra squad on Sunday, October 1st. Kickoff is at 3:00 PM, and all CSUSM supporters are welcome to head down to Mangrum Field to cheer on your Cougars! Another close loss for Women's Soccer September 19 2006. Though the Cougar women (1-6) played a tough, close game, the team once again failed to notch a victory, losing 1-0 to the visiting Vanguard University Lions (5-0-1) on Tuesday. Both squads had scoring chances, and CSUSM never allowed Vanguard to establish total control of play. Still, Vanguard held the upper hand for most of the match, out-shooting the Cougars 12-6 with a 9-3 advantage in shots-on-goal. Vanguard tallied the only score of the match in the 20th minute. The Lions' Heather Hutton made a run through CSUSM's defense, finding some space deep in the Cougars' territory. She spotted teammate Rachel Housepian across the box, sliding her a pass that neither the Cougar keeper or defense could get to. Housepian struck the ball into the back of the net, giving the Lions a lead they would never relinquish. Most of the Cougars' opportunities came early on, with forward Clarissa Hidalgo leading the charge. Hidalgo recorded all three of CSUSM's shots on goal for the day, but opposing keeper Marissa Swift let none past. Tessa Smith and Kelly Wherry created chances from the midfield, and defender Lucia Asbury kept the Vanguard offense in check for most of the match. While the Lady Cougars have been playing better as of late, they're still searching for a way to earn a second victory in their inaugural season. They'll try again on October 1st in a game against La Sierra University. The match will kickoff at 1:00 PM on Mangrum Track & Soccer Field, so come on down to cheer on your Cougars! another level.. This year, the team Will feature six active returning players. The squad will be led by senior Jenneil French, and she should shine in her last year as a Cougar. French's drive and determination will help her develop into a player capable of competing at the professional level. Right behind French is junior Çarly Ludwig. Ludwig led the team at the National Championships, finishing in the top 20, which Coach Segura says is just a preview of what this young lady can do. Ludwig, along with French, should lead the Cougars to achieving their goals for the upcoming season. Along with those experienced golfers, new additions to the team include freshmen Irene Atkins (Laguna Niguel, CA), Marissa Reino (Huntington Beach, CA), Adriana Borman (West Covina, CA), and Katiiryn Hansen (Moorpark, CA). They will compete for spots on tournament rosters, and help push their teammates to stay on top of their games. Though last season was a great year for the lady cougars, it is believed that this year's roster is even strppger, and thatthe % team can once again put itself in National Championship contention. �Al &X Ej i ( 1 Tuesday, September 26, 2006 _ ____ THE PRIDE Beck's Oktoberfest BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer Bavaria in 1810 to commemorate the marriage of King Ludwig I and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen.

MMA: Gracie Jui Jitsu BY FRANCISCO MACIAS Pride Sports Writer Enter 3 Freshman. Exit an Officer.

A young Brazilian man once brought an idea to the American media: a dream of making his family's unique style of martial arts the number one style to beat. Unless your last name was Gracie, nobody at that time had ever heard of Brazilian Jui Jitsu, which would later be known as Gracie Jui Jitsu. This was a style .of martial arts where being on your back meant you were in control. The Gracie family felt they could revolutionize the martial arts world. Thfc Gracie's put out a challenge to anyone who would listen, especially those of the Martial Arts world. November 12, 1993, Rorion Gracie introduced the world to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) It was a venue where the Gracie family could showcase their own style of Martial Arts; a no holds barred, 'vale tudo' (anything goes), no rules style of fighting. Unlike the traditional ring boxers and wrestlers use, the UFC uses an Octagon, an eight sided ring linked together by a fence and poles. The main objectives were simple, make your opponent submit or "tap out", knock him out or get knocked out. Two men would enter and only one would leave and go on to the next round. At that time, fighters^ were not well rounded. They only knew one or maybe two styles of martial arts. The first three shows of the UFC fights were dominated by one Gracie. He was Photo courtesy of ufc.com the chosen one, the one who would represent the Gracie family; Royce Gracie. Everyone and anyone who thought they could fight or thought that their style of martial arts was the best were proven wrong that night Royce stepped into the Octagon. For the first 4 years he was the "UFC". Nobody was able to beat "Gracie Jui Jitsu" let alone handle the submissions. After the phenomenon of Gracie Jui-Jitsu took over, everyone jumped on the Jui- Jitsu band wagon. The UFC of today is different then in the Gracie days. Today's fighters have mastered Jui Jitsu and have moved on, adding Muay Thai Kickboxing and Boxing to their arsenal. Introducing Mixed Martial Arts, which in laymen's terms means any style of martial arts that one trains in. Today you can find an increasing number of MMA training facilities gearing up to accommodate all those eager for the challenge of Mixed Martial Arts. l WHBH EZr (760) 744-3732 Carlsbad (760) 929-0875 .»SÄ i tmiifiiii in mffflHEdap &\1 DAPHNES» Monday ¡Vite Macinerò Tubù.

Parked in the VIP parking section, at 1 p.m. there were not very many cars or people. The wind was knocking people and tents over, but didn't stop the heat. Unfortunately by 3 p.m. there were already people who were not going to see the concert because the melting heat had already gotten the best of them. A word of advice: to fend off dehydration, always bring a bunch of water to hot concerts. To my surprise, the parking lotfilledup within the hour and even more so as the show went on. After enjoying the pre-concert tailgate with other fans and blasting music in the parking lot, we made our way to the gates of the Hyundai Pavilion. Atreyu was the first on stage. We were only able to catch the closing act of their show since the lines to get into the concert were filled with intoxicated people who just slowed the rest of us down. Lines for food, shirts and other merch were extremely long; but none matched up to line of the ATM machine. At every break between bands the machine would have over fifty people waiting. After Atreyu, Buckcherry took the stage. Their lead singer, with his head full of firecolored hair, conversed with the crowd as he sang, though at times he seemed to talk a little too much during his songs. Since it was still in early in the afternoon, there were no lights for his set, just videos of him singing along on the huge screens placed above and to the sides of the stage. Up next was Rise Against. They really got the crowd involved, egging them on and telling stories, graciously thanking California for supporting the Chicago-based band. Their music was clear and executed well. The band moved about the stage in a nonchaotic manner and seemed to be relaxed. 30 Seconds to Mars marched onto the stage with red and white flags, numerous fans, and covered faces. The show they put on was not very complex and focused almost completely on the lead singer, Jared Leto. Leto talked a lot about how he was once like us, the crowd, and would sneak up to the front. Instead of just playing his music, Leto encouraged people to get as close as they could and just not get caught. During t h e _ first song, you couldn't even hear him sing. Then Leto that hung from the light racks just to tell the audience what a great view it was; they only yelled for him to jump off He didn't. Papa Roach stole thè stage. Jumping with enthusiasm, literally, he got the crowd to get out of their seats, sing along and rock óut. They sang songs from their newly-released album that came out last week and went through different songs only to end with three classic songs from their first album. They had a great attitude and understood how to make the crowd happy. Avenged Sevenfold was the next band up and had a little trouble. The singer blew out his vocal chords while making their new album that should be released soon, so while he was singing at the concert it was hard to hear him. They played the music louder than he could sing so the difference in his damaged voice could not be heard. Even so, it was still a good show. However, the almostnaked dancing girls around them were more repulsive than attractive. They looked more like they were having spasms than dancing, and it really took away from the show. After a long pause, Muse stole the stage and blew away the competition. People around me gasped, as they had never, heard of Muse before and were in awe of their talents. Lights blazed and the band played like no other. There was no useless talking like other bands had done, they just played one song into another. Their musical style is very unique and amazing in concert. The singer not only sings but also plays the guitar and the piano many times in one song. The band only has three members. They were amazing and put on a show that had people in the crowd, including my husband who had never heard them before, saying they will go see this band again. Alice In Chains and Guns 'N Roses put on a very good show. I was amazed at how much the new singer for Alice In Chains sounded like the old one. As for Guns N Roses, although it was just as good, I wish I would have been able to see the original band. It just wasn't the same as it would have been to hear the GNR we all remember. But a good rock show. it was all in all 1 band really contribEach all, and it was apparuted their people who worked ent that concert got involved at the looked out for the and really who came to see the p eople like those who got dehymusic, early on. drated S APA i r?

Tents created a fair-like atmosphere, and furry fair-goers, accompanied by their devoted human companions, began to arrive at Bunnyfest 2006, sponsored by the San Diego House Rabbit Society.

Quite popular was the demonstration on clicker training for rabbits by Andrea Bratt Frick from the organization B.U.N.S^, located at the Santa Barbara County Animal Shelter. She enthusiastically explained training rab- bits as an enriching experience for both bunny and human. Besides improving the bunny-human bond and providing an engaging form of exercise, clicker training also can improve a bunny's behavior, often turning vorpal rabbits into affectionate friends. Also available was "aska-vet" and a photographer specializing in bunny portraits.

So proclaimed Ernest Hemingway, icon of American literature, war hero, expatriate, and adventurer - a man who definitely knew his way around a bottle - of two of his favorite drinks in two of his favorite bars in one of his favorite cities, Havana, Cuba. Lucky for us, the mojito has found its way out of Cuba and into our hearts as the new "it" drink. With its magical mixture of rum, lime, mint, and sugar, the mojito (which means "little spell") has entranced the American cocktail-drinking public with its simple, refreshing flavor. Originally made with aguardiente, the mojito is said to have been invented by the notorious Francis Drake's partner in pirate crime Richard Drake.

Sound like fun? You bet it is! The thrilling cardiac-arrest inducing roller coaster ride that is "Crank" comes highly recommended by this reviewer. Not having been to a movie in a few months and having heard my father rant and rave about thisfilm,as well as a plethora of my guy friends, I was fairly skeptical upon entering the miovie theater to see afilmthat critics have pigeon-holed as a "guy flick." "Is this really going to be worth the $7.50 for the ticket and the $4.25 for the Mr. Pibb I just shelled out?" I thought as I walked through the vacant theater. Having missed the credits entirely, my friend and I entered the stadium just as Jason Statham (from "The Transporter") woke up from his "Beijing Cocktail." What ensued next was 85 minutes full of mind-blowing (literally in some parts) action—we're talking all-bets-are-off-don't-trythis-even-if-you-do-only-have-onehour-to-live gnarly stuff—not to mention plenty of blood and gore and a fair share of profanity and scantily clad women. Chev Chelios (Statham), a professional hit man who is poisoned by a sleazy rival gangster, Verona (Jose Pablo Cantillo), opens up the movie with the discovery that he's been injected with a lethal Chinese toxin and only has one hour left to live. Poison blocking the adrenal receptors in his body, the only way Chelios will hope to stay alive in the movie is to constantly keep adrenaline pulsing through his veins. This being the case, he resorts to insane methods of keeping his adrenaline pumping, and I can't imagine anyone attempting the outrageous stunts that Chelios pulls off in "Crank." Ever. Period. I won't ruin the plot or any of the pants-wetting action scenes for you if you do choose to see it, but I will say "Crank" delivers your money's worth and more. Next time you find yourself reaching for a can of Redbull or Monster, put it down and head to your local theater to see "Crank" It'll cause more adrenaline than you can handle to pulse throughout your body. "Crank" will have you up for days. Image courtesy of Lionsgate Films � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

On Monday the Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Club placed tombstones on the grass with suicide statistics printed on each one as a reminder to passing students about the prevalence and preventability of student suicide. On Thursday the 21st the Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Club will be showing their one hour video, "The Truth About Suicide" twice. One showing will be during the University Hour in Academic Hall room number 102. The other showing will be in the Clarke Field House from 6 p.m., in the large conference room across I the hall from the Grand Salon. The room which can hold 130 people „was almost at capacity with almost 100 people attending the meeting. The students sat with their group or team at each table.

Getskow Jr. who is a Photo by Kelly Corrigan J The Pride With seventeen women's studies classes and a growing rate of interest and participation from CSUSM students toward the program, students are fervently asking the administration for a third full time tenure track professor. Over five hundred and sixty CSUSM students are enrolled in women's studies classes this fall. Approximately fifty two of that number either major or minor in women's studies. But since 2001, there have been only two full time faculty members in the women's studies department. With seventeen women's studies classes and a growing rate of interest and participation from CSUSM students toward the program, students are fervently asking the administration for a third full time tenure track professor. Today the women's studies program includes four student organizations. The Women's Studies Student Association is one of them. Nancy Martinez-Molano, president of WSSA is a double major in Women's Studies and Criminology & Justice. Martinez-Molano is a first generation college student and wants to become a human rights and immigration lawyer. "The program has helped me accomplish goals and has given me opportunity.

Getskow is also a liaison for the Surf Team. "Domanic Thomas is one of those down to earth people; I enjoy working for him and with him. Even though we have work to get done we always have good times and some good laughs," he said. "Domanic Thomas seemed like he was there to help, he also seemed like he knew how to get stuff done and didn't want to mess around," said Jennifer Brich who is a Math Major and a member of the CSUSM Cheerleading Squad who plans to graduate in 2010. The main points that were emphasized by Thomas during the meeting were that the Club Sports do not have a lot of financial funding or insurance. Many participants of Club Sports were unaware of this fact, which was stressed as vital by Thomas. Another point that was brought up was that of participation and commitment by the teams. Thomas informed the students that dedicated teams would be able to do more and most importantly remain a team. "You can be fined for not meeting my expectations" and "You will not like me if you do not turn in your paperwork," he said, explaining that Club Sports' eligibility depends not only on the commitment of the members to the team, but also to the rules and regulations of the campus. The meeting was concluded with the teams being told that the team with "the most points" would be awarded £ fully funded party of their tastes come April of the Spring 2007 semester.

The meeting then proceeded outside as balloons were tossed about on the outside basketball court, in a competition in which two members from each Club Sport tossed balloons for accuracy at increasing distances. Laughter and conversation between members of the various teams could be heard during the event. "I bring passion for sports but more importantly [I want to see] student's growth outside of the classroom," said Thomas. As advice to students, Getskow said, "make sure you come down to the Field House and check on availability of sports and give your support to those who are being active in the school community, by becoming a spectator for your favorite sports". "In the future I see [Club Sports] getting more competitive as the school grows and becomes more traditional and less of a commuter feel," said Thomas. Thomas also noted "Club Sports can not expand much further without more space... they are trying to build CSUSM's image up to the outside world and will not let any of these teams embarrass [CSUSM] by showing up late, ^unorganized, or with bad behavior." If the teams that attended the first official meeting for Clubs Sports follow the regulations and standards set forth by Thomas then CSUSM shall see a few more trophies and more prestige added to the image of CSUSM.

The Student Discussion Leader program gives students the opportunity to lead discussions in front of their peers in the classroom. Iota Iota Iota is an honor society in support of students going into grad schools. These organizations have laid a path for students looking to make a difference. The most recently founded organization is the The ASI Women's Center. Each organization has spawned campus activities and student participation. Cheyenne Barr, the director of Men's Activism and Outreach, President of Progressive Activists Network and President of the Women's Center, believes women's studies can be applied to various students. "We're not fighting to save ourselves but trying to save it for other majors." Discussion is underway to change the name of women's studies to women gender and sexuality studies. She looks for classes to include men and masculinity, sex work and prostitution among others. With all this contribution, Barr says, "We're still left with two faculty members and no more."

But what International and exchange students are really doing besides taking exams and writing papers in a classroom, are learning about the world. They meet people who become a life long connection across the world or maybe in a neighboring country. They leave everything at home to get a real taste of life and return with a renewed vision of the world. And it is exactly this that International Student Advisor Danielle McMartiri loves to see.

Did you see any cheerleaders last year? How many? You could not have because cheerleading has never officially been a part of CSUSM. September 14th marked the first official meeting for CSUSM Cheer. Tryouts will be held September 18th through September 23rd. CSUSM Cheer is going to be a traveling competition squad. Slight confusion could be seen during the first meeting for the CSUSM Cheer which was simultaneously held during the first official meeting of Club Sports. "We don't even know who our leader or instructor is" confessed one of the twelve present cheerleaders. The cheerleaders seemed cheerful and energetic as they conversed amongst each other before the meeting began. They remained silent and attentive, minus one audible cell phone ring tone, during the lecture given by Domanic Thomas who is the ASI Coordinator for Campus Recreation. "[CSUSM Cheer] are in the process of becoming a recognized Club Sport; they must show that they have the numbers, organization, and a competitive division/ league to compete in, At this time, they have demonstrated organization [such S an M arcos a Creekside Market Place DAPHNES 595 Grand Avenue San Marcos, CA 9 2069 (760) 7 44-3732 Carlsbad (700)929-0875 iiWfiRD Oceanside |7§0) 4&-18Ó1 MillMiasms laving w d t m m m «titer f«ai*, Gmfc & Detó»* Gyros Pita t A Q Q ; as] paperwork and are gaining numbers but have yet to secure a competitive division to compete in for Spring 2007," said Thomas. When asked where do you see CSUSM Cheer taking CSUSM Thomas replied, "Hopefully to a state funded level competition nationally after removing [no stunting] restrictions." When asked the same question Jennifer Brich, who is a Math Major planning on graduating in 2007 stated, "I want the squad to grow into an award winning cheer squad" which "requires hard work." No male CSUSM students were seen at the first official meeting for CSUSM Cheer. When asked about a possible coed CSUSM Cheer Brich f eplfd, "I think co-ed cheer squads are great" and Thomas stated; "It is something that will happen if we cap remove the [no] stunting clause." . Minus the no stunting clause which is already gaining animosity, the CSUSM Cheer seems off to a great start for the first time ever here at CSUSM. Keep your eyes peeled for their future events as they bounce and spin their way into CSUSM history, pompoms and all. Give me a CO-U-G-A-R-P-R-I-D-E! "It's going to be a bumpy start " said Brich.

Lu^rs adeptly slipped a pass ¿cross the box, connecting with Seidenglanz, who tapped it into the open corner of the net. Up 1-0 with 60 minutés left to play, the task for the Cougars was just to hold on. Goach Ron Pulvers switched to a strategy based on counterattacking in thé second half, which resulted in more opportunities for the Cougars. After some near misses, disaster struck in the 67th minute. Following a hard foul by Point Loma, Troy Skomra threw a ball at a Point I^oma player. A brief skirmish followed, but both teams' coaches quickly broke it up. However, Skomra was red-carded; leaving the Cougars a man down for the remainder of the match. With its newfound advantage, Point Loma pushed hard to equalize the score. However, the San Marcos defenders, led by senior Ben Grouse, held strong; and goalkeeper i rent Painte* did not let anything past. Though he was only called Men's on to make two saves, Painter's decision making was excellent as usual en route to his fifth shutout of the year. As the final whistle sounded, the Cougars celebrated, knowing they had earned their most impressive win of the season thus far. They won't have long to savor the victory, though - they'll be back on Mangrum Field this Tuesday (9/19) against Vanguard University. Any and all CSUSM fans are welcome to attend the 4:00 PM game and cheer on their 7-1 Cougars! CSUSM Paintball BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer In their first official event last weekend, The Cal State San Marcos Paintball team, lead by team Captain Wesley Quach, was able to place third out of a field of over twenty collegiate teams; As of Spring 2006, thanks to a number of organized and determined students, CSUSM has offered Paintball as a club sport. The team consists of full time stu- dents who play in leagues against other college club teams such as UC Santa Barbara and Point Loma. Through ASI funding, the Paintball team is able to purchase equipment, rent field space, and travel to tournaments including last week's. The cable sports network ESPN will be covering future regional and national tournaments, like the one the CSU San Marcos team competed in last week.

With that said, here are the top 10 sports books that I have read. No. 10 — "Juiced" by Jose Canseco. I simply recommend this book because of its hilarity. Canseco does have an extensive knowledge of steroids but he also shows his lack of knowledge on pretty much everything else in the world. If you want to know who took steroids during the 1990's through 2000's then read this book. No. 9 - "Joe DiMaggio: The Hero's Life" by Richard Ben Cramer. Probably the best book to give you a sense of what baseball and the United States were like from the early 1930's to the early 1950's. No. 8 - "I May Be Wrong, But I doubt It" by Charles Barkley. I liked this book because you really won't find anyone else in sports that are willing to comment on issues of politics, race and society. When I read or hear something from Barkley I pay attention because he doesn't try to be dishonest and isn't insincere in what he is saying. No. 7. - "Oh My" by Dick Enberg. This is Enberg's autobiography, and for those of you who don't know who he is, he is a sports broadcaster. I admire^ his career because he knows a . i lot about every sport. I have tried to fashion my career much like his by learning as much as I can about every sport imaginable. I mean, Enberg even covered Roller Derby in the early days of his career. No. 6 - "I Never Had It Made" - Jackie Robinson. This is the autobiography of the man who broke the color barrier in baseball. Everyone knows that aspect about Robinson, but this book taught me so much more about him. What impressed me most about his book is the air of confidence, bordering on cockiness, in which he wrote about his life. It further cemented my opinion that in order to change the world for the better, you have to be so cocky that you think nothing can stop you. No. 5 - "A Shark Never Sleeps" by Drew Rosenhaus. The NFL super agent wrote this autobiog- L .r raphy before he was infamous after the whole Terrell Owens versus Philadelphia Eagles incident. Rosenhaus really is a brilliant and creative mind and this book takes you into his process of how he used that creativeness to make him into a very successful, NFL agent. No. 4 - "The Last Season" by Phil Jackson. All Los Angeles Lakers fans know about this book. It takes you into the breakup of the Shaq/Kobe/Phil Jackson dynasty. I read this book in about two days, because it was so compelling. No. 3 - "Game of Shadows" by Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams. This book is what is going to keep Barry Bonds out of the MLB hall of fame. This is some of the best reporting you will ever see on any subject. They also stand behind their findings « Ua » rnn t'«fnmAHC O miirh tliat tllPV mav e s CAr\i A so much that they may bKf»erving time in prison soon because they are unwilling to give up their sources to a grand jury. No. 2 - "License To Deal" by Jerry Crasnick. This book follows two young MLB agents who are trying to make it in a backstabbing industry by being honest. I worked with an MLB agent for about a year and realize how hard that task will be for those guys. No. 1-"Moneyball"by Michael Lewis. This book changed the way people look at baseball. Rather than just looking at pure talent, people are now analyzing numbers more than ever. No book has really ever done that to any sport, except for this book. When you read this, you think to yourself, "Why didn't I realize that?" If you have any sports books recommendations, send them to Sando026@csusm.edu.

For the majority ofus who are working, finding time can be hard to participate in extra curricular activities but always keep your eyes peeled and your ears open for something that just might fit into your Palm Pilot between school and work. I was able to attend "Luann: Scenes from a Teen's Life" on Friday the 15th of September at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido which started promptly at 7 p.m. My girlfriend is a huge comic fan, asher stacks ofread and reread comic books lying around in her room suggest, so naturally I had no say in the matter. Except, "You are paying for dinner after the show" I grunted. The show was only $10 per seat which is just maybe a dollar or two above a regular movie theatre ticket. The wait to purchase the tickets was approximately five minutes which only left us two minutes to get in and seated. When asked if we wanted bottom row off to the center, top row off to the center, or lastly top row almost in the middle I chose the latter. The view was perfect on the second story seating area. The theatre was almost full with about 20 seats left unseated. You could catch a glimpse of the live music coming from an open section in front of the main stage in front of thefirstfloorseating area through an array of mirrors. Jenny quickly pointed out that we were four seats away from Greg Evans who wrote the script for the play and who is the artist for the Luann comic strip. No recording of anything from any device was allowed, but a quick snap of the artist himselffrommy photo equipped cell phone did not harm anyone. Center ARTES of CSUSM helped direct the play. The music throughout the musical was awesome, mainly due to the fact that the music was live and executed so well throughout the entire play. The lighting was also magnificent and highlighted every scene appropriately and accurately. The themes of the musical focused on high school but could easily be associated with issues surrounding college students, such as the complexity of women and the simplicity of men, guys and their cars, and dreams of certain likable individuals. I also learned that "no" can be a good word and a bad word depending on whose opinion you take. A concessions stand provided coffee, tea, and light snacking at reasonable prices. Dozens of shops and eateries surrounded the theater so a pre-dinner or a post dinner was a viable option to complete a full night. Parking was easy and driving to and from the theatre was done with ease. On the trek back to Temecula, I looked back on the play and was glad that Jenny made me go. The play was great. I found myself getting really emotional at times during the sad or extremely happy moments. I also found myself letting out my girlish beast-like squeak of laughter during sarcastic moments. Greg Evans seemed to give approval of the musical as he cheered on the cast members after the musical had concluded; that resulted in a standing ovation. I along with Mr. Evans concur, it t'was a wonderful musical and I could have missed out. BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer Photo by David Gatley / The Pride September marks the Stone Brewing Company's 10th anniversary, which they've chosen to celebrate with custom bottles of their famous India Pale Ale and a generous charitable fundraising event. Located; i n E scondido, S tone B reweries i s o ne of the few breweries local to the North County. Stone breweries emphasizes that their beer uses no additives preservatives, adjuncts or pasteurization. The result is a crisp and clean beer with a pleasant aftertaste. With 6.9% alcohol per volume , and smooth hoppy flavor, Stone's award winning India Pale Ale is an excellent beer for general drinking sessions. It pours well in a golden chestnut color, with an earthy aroma and a full foamy head that lingers with an almost perfect spider webbed lacing after each sip. The ale smells slightly of pine and tropical fruit. Stone IPA does not taste piney however, it is a bold blend of malt and hops with a slight hint of fruitiness and a slight smoky flavor. Stone's IPA is best served at 40-45 degrees in a chilled pint glass or mug. Its mouthfeel is rich with the right amount ofcarbonation and a hint of tartness from t heir celebrated "generous dry-hopping". Lom( Víketyview: BY AMANDA RUTHERFORD Pride Staff Writer/ The Jumping Turtle Bar and Grill is very much like a music venue. It's a good place to go see local bands, friends and meet new people. That is if you like the rock or punk music. The place opens at 11 a.m. and closes at 2 a.m. Upon entering, there is security to make sure people are of age. At this place, after 10 p.m. people must be 21 an up to enter on "gig" nights. These are the nights that bands play. But on regular nights, like football Sunday and Monday, it's open to everyone The beer is excellent as a stand alone, but would do well with rich curries or other spicy foods. It also works well along side salty aperitifs or cheeses. With a high alcohol and high hop content though, it can l eave a d rinker f eeling t hirsty. The Stone Breweries IPA is available in 22oz Bottles, extra large three liter bottles and a limited edition draft version. The bottled versions of the 10th anniversary brew include special quotes and interviews on the back from the staff at the breweries, as well as a redesigned label graphic. While the redesign is a nice touch, the taste and features of the ale alone sell it. However, something else to that is perhaps more noteworthy is that during their 10th year anniversary fundraising event, the staff of Stone Breweries has raised almost $20,000 for such local causes as Boys and Girl's Club of San Marcos, Palomar Family YMCA, the Surfrider Foundation and FightALD.org. Between it being brewed at a local brewery, the company engaging in admirable philanthropic causes and the ale being excellent, Stone India Pale Ale is a great beer to drink, and now is a great time to drink it. BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer Photo by Sophie Brink / The Pride Once upon a time, in a bar far, far away, I sipped at my cocktail and announced, "I can't taste the tea in this drink." Scoffed at by my more mature bar-going pals, I was laughingly informed, "There's no tea in a Long Island Iced Tea!" And so it was that I learned that the brownish hue of the drink, which so resembles iced tea, is actually due to a splash of cola. The fact that it is usually served in a Collins glass and garnished with a lemon wedge also may deceive the naive drinker. The educated cocktail maven will no doubt know that the Long Island Iced Tea is a veritable liquid smorgasbord of hard liquor, a collusion of 1 part vodka, 1 part tequila, 1 part rum, 1 part gin, 1 part triple sec, 1 1/2 parts sweet and sour mix, and 1 splash Cola that can leave even the iron-bellied drinker weakkneed and stupid. There might not be tea in a Long Island Iced Tea, but its origins have indeed been traced to Long Island - the question is, howeyer, which Long Island. The most related version of the story has it created by a man named "Rosebud" and making its debut sometime in the mid-1970s. Another version insists that the potent potable hails from a community called Long Island in Tennessee and dates back to theT920s. Whichever history you subscribe to, there is no doubt that this drink is not for the timid. Those with a sweet tooth, however, may prefer to sweeten it up with variations such as substituting raspberry liqueur, peach schnapps or cranberry juice* for cola. In any case, fill a cocktail shaker half-way with iqe, pitch in all ingredients except cola, shake and pour into a Collins glass filled with ice, and add a splash of cola for color or substitute as desired. Garnish with a lemon wedge, make sure you aren't driving anywhere that day, and serve. The Jumping Turtle Bar and Grill free of entrance charge. On gig nights there is an entrance charge that changes depending on who is playing; it's usually between $7 and $12. The security and staff are friendly there, though appearances can be deceiving. Everyone seemed to be enjoying him or herself, and it wasn't because most of them were drunk. Yes, there is a lot of alcohol at this place. It is built like the Whiskey a Go Go on the Hollywood Sunset Strip and many other venues on it. When you walk in you are glowing, literally. They have black lights set up. Straight in front of you is about seven tables and too many chairs to count. To your right is the door to the patio and two pool tables. To your left is the stage and dance floor The stage has enough room for a band to fit comfortably and move. The danceflooris in front of the stage and to the left of it is the bar where you can order drinks and food. It's a smaller venue but is filled with windows and the space is open for easy movement. Surprisingly, in this small venue there is enough room for a small mosh-pit before the stage, and there was one happening Friday night. The Jumping Turtle Bar and Grill is filled with people of all types, from the casual person to the extreme. I saw a bunch of colored Mohawks, which made the room look like a rainbow, a lot of leather jackets, tight jeans, ripped jeans, band shirts and more. But that wasn't all. Like I said, it's a great variety of people but all love the rock music. For people who don't like the rock music, loud places, or anything like a music venue, this i s not the place for you. But if you do like rock music, a friendly atmo-* sphere, loud music and pool, or even sitting on a patio with food, you'll like this place. It even has two arcade games and special events for different occasions. An example of this is the football xbox game Madden that they get people to play on football Sundays. That isn't all they offer, though. This place isn't always playing music from bands; it has other events as well posted on their website. So if you'd like to give it a visit, it's off of the Rancho Santa Fe exiton the left side ofthe ^tfeeton Capalina Roa<|. My overall experience at this place was a good one; I loved the people, the music and the space it offered. I encourage students to stop by and test the place out. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

To answer many of these questions The Pride contacted the Planning, Design and Construction Staff here at CSUSM to see what, if any, plans addressing these concerns exist. In a discussion with Bradly Fenton, the Project Manager in the Planning, Design and Construction department, the Pride found that CSUSM is in the process of having a traffic engineer make arrangements to construct a traffic signal at the intersection of Craven and Palm Canyon. In order for any construction to be started an environmental impact study must be completed. Last month the study was finalized and made available for public review. From this point all that is left is moving forward with necessary documents and gaining the appropriate funding for the project. While the new parking lot F was being constructed, simultaneously plans for an intersection at the intersection of Craven and Palm Canyon were being implemented.

The driver of the van, CSUSM faculty member Dr. Gary Addou, was questioned by CSUSM police. Pedestrian and faculty member Antonia Olivas, an assistant Librarian at Kellogg Library, received medical attention and was taken to a near by hospital. No charges are being filed by either party at this time. CSUSM police found that the driver was the party most at fault based on vehicle code 21950 (c) which states that "the driver of a vehicle approaching a pedestrian within a crosswalk shall reduce speed of the vehicle or take any action or other action relating to the operation of the vehicle as necessary to safeguard the safety of the pedestrian." However according to CSUSM police, some other mitigating factors contributed to the accident: The sun was directly in the driver's eyes, making it difficult to see in the direction of the pedestrian. It was also found that the victim did not see the van. She reportACCIDENT, SEE page 2 Gattey / T b M i « 6 at the intersection of Craven and Palm Canyon Rd.

In addition to this particular intersection plans for more signalized intersections throughout campus are being drafted. While the recent accident won't change any of the time tables for construction of a signalized intersection, it does expose the need for one. According to Fenton, the opening of lot F only exacerbated the need for a controlled intersection for the protection of both vehicles and pedestrians on campus. Fenton also stated, "A signalized intersection was mandatory for the amount of cars that are now using the intersection." Pedestrian bridges were an option; however each intersection would require four bridges. At a cost of half a million dollars each, bridges are not a feasible solution. Lighted intersections typically cost anywhere from 150 to 250 thousand dollars. Signalized intersections are significantly cheaper than pedestrian bridges. According to Fenton, bridges are typically a waste of money as well. Fenton also stated, "Traffic engineers have noted that people traditionally don't use pedestrian bridges if the cross walk is available. They still cross the street." Eventually lot C will have a parking structure, where a bridge may be built to come off the structure and connect to campus, however this project is six to seven years away. As soon as funding becomes available it should take approximately six months to complete the signalized intersection. The money has been requested, and if the proposed educational bond passes in November, the money will become available. That same bond will also fund the next campus building, the Social and Behavioral Sciences Building. After the environmental impact study has been completed, the project takes approximately six to eight months with documents and bidding. Construction takes about three months. At this point during next semester, assuming the funding is allocated, construction on the signalized intersection could be completed. r noto Dy David Gatley / The Pride C SUSM Police respond to the s cene of the accident on Wednesday.

Also, with the opening of lot F a new traffic situation has been presented at the intersection of Craven and Palm Canyon Road. This is something that students and faculty are not accustomed to and presents a very serious situa- tion, showing the importance that everyone going through the intersection pay full attention. "I want to remind everybody to be very cautious going through this intersection, including pedestrians and drivers. This intersection can be dangerous if people are not paying attention," says CSUSM Lt. Doug Miller.

Right now the gas prices run from about $2.87 to $3.32 and up. For students on-campus, gas isn't as much of an issue. On-campus students don't need to drive to class, and sometimes may not even own a car, while commuters are driving anywhere from a few miles to forty or more. Surprisingly, students who stay in on-campus housing sometimes pay less on their monthly housing than those renting an apartment in other areas of San Diego. At CSUSM, students can stay in oncampus housing apartments that are located at the base of the hill the college is built on. Built by the Allen and OHara business the CSUSM on-campus housing complex is walking distance from the school and can currently hold up to about 568 students. The dorms are built to be more like an apartment community than dormitories. The structures were built to look like apartments both on the inside and outside. At the University Village Apartments, where the students live on-campus, a 'private room' costs $700. One can have a 6person dorm or a four-person dorm. For a dorm that holds six people, a shared room costs $500. For a dorm that holds four people, the cost is $600. On average a oneperson apartment, that has all the same basic amenities as the dorms, would cost around $600; of course there are exceptions with slightly lower or higher prices depending on what part of San Marcos you live in. A two bedroom, on average, starts around $700, not including any extra bills. It gets a lot more expensive if you want newer or From SURFING, page 1 more conveniently located apartments as well. Melanee Pile, a current senior at CSUSM, currently works and lives and attends CSUSM. She is currently an RA for the UVA (University Village Apartments) and has lived in on-campus hous. ing since summer. Though RA's live in on-campus housing for free, the experiences are still the same. "I love it" she said, when I asked her how she likes living in the dorms. When asked if some students felt constrained by living with so many other students so close to where they go to school she replied saying, "not regular dorm style. Its more like an apartment feels." With an "open community, not like a (jail) cell." When asked about comparing it to living off campus and commuting to school she said its "easier than commuting." All last year Melanee commuted forty-five minutes to make it to campus. While not economically beneficial to everyone, namely those living at home or sharing housing off campus, living oncampus can benefit some students. For those students who want to stay in the oncampus apartments and avoid a commute to school, there is however a waiting list. With limited room, and all spots taken, the UVA has a waiting list for those seeking to get a spot. Fortunately for those wishing to live on-campus later in their academic careers and for students that will attend CSUSM in the coming years, a new parking structure for on-campus students is on the way in about a year and hopefully in three years a new "tower" of on-campus apartments will be put in to give more rooms for more students. On Saturday, Septermber 30 at 7:30 am - 3:00 pm at Crosswaithe Street in Oceanside tryouts will be held for Men's and Women's Shortboard and Coed Longboard. To sign up for tryouts students can go to the Field House Recreation Center counter. Students must bring a student ID and a photocopy and a photocopy of a health insurance card. Also a participation packet and entry form must befilledout, both are available at Field House. Students must also pay an entry fee (cash or check only At payable to ASI Surf Team) amounts are $15 if signed up by September 21, $20 if signed up by September 28, and $25 for beach entry.

JJ . Getsklw is a first time resident advisor who lived in the dorms last year. "Now that we have soccer, that's been a highlight for our residents." There have been many activities offered at the UVA this fall including free Monday night dinners put on by Bryan Dawson and his wife. "Any student loves free food. That's how we attract them to our programs." But the UVA isn't the only one producing fun activities for students to take part in. "Through the efforts of ASI, the Clarke Field House and the RA's, we've had a lot of interest in activities," Getsklw said. According to Getsklw, most of the problems RA's have encountered have revolved around noise complaints. With rooms of up to six roommates, each roommate is allowed to have three guests. "If it's a party or if alcohol is present, it's fine if all residents are over twenty one, if not then it's us who pour it out." If there is an incident with alcohol or marijuana, it is the resident advisor's job to write out an IR or incident report. "If it's a first time offence, the student has a conduct meeting held by either Bryan Dawson, Ryan McCrae or Desiree Woodruff. They handle all the conduct issues. RAs have nothing to do with the conduct meeting or punishment," Getsklw said. As Getkklw said, "Marijuana is the worst thing you can do here." The result of getting caught with marijuana is two strikes against the student. It takes three before a student can get evicted. "With a second strike, a student's contract is in jeopardy and the student is sent to the dean of students because there is an agreement with the campus on that issue." As for the freshman, they seem to be enjoying the overall experience of the UVA. According to Danielle Mitchell, she says, "I'm getting along with my roommate, especially since she's my best friend." As for Kierra Hunt's roommates, she says, "We're all pretty cooperative, sometimes we have misunderstandings over cleaning but we always resolve it." During the third week of school, open door week took place for siudents to mingle with each other. Alex Ingram said, "The RAs try hard but they should have done open door week during the first week of school." His roommate Alfon Allen said, "I have a problem with dorm rules, the quiet hours shouldn't be at (10:00 pm)." Their roommate Greg Moore said, "Everything's cool with my roommates but it's a lot like a war bunker. It teaches us responsibility and how to make situations good." Photp by Kelly Corrigan / The Pride C lub of t he W eek: A ccounting S ociety BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer If you are enrolled in any College Business Administration required class or even more specifically enrolled in an accounting class this semester then you have probably already been solicited to join the CSUSM Accounting Society. As you listened to your iPod or napped during a short introduction regarding the Accounting Society you missed a chance at a potentially prosperous semester, new friends and connections, and ultimately a future career in accounting. Most students would agree that this is not the best way to start a semester. Fortunately for those who are still interested or dare to be different and be involved with CSUSM making it the great campus that it is today, the Accounting Society is still looking for you. The CSUSM Accounting Society (as it is officially titled in Article One of the Bylaws for the group) is more commonly known as the Accounting Society to CSUSM students. "We are looking at increasing our memberships from interring business. And non-business students and keeping regular members active," stated Jessica Alfaro who is the current President of the Accounting Society who is an Accounting Major who plans to graduate this December of 2006 said Alfaro. The Accounting Society is recognized as "the oldest club", according to Alfaro, and was established before the current CSUSM campus was built and the school was hosted in a shopping center in San Marcos. The Accounting Society was originally created to "act as an interface for students and accounting i professionals and so students could get a good understanding of what the accounting industry was like," said Alfaro. The Accounting Society contributes to CSUSM by "presenting CSUSM in a strong and professional way while getting students prepared" for classes and future careers said Alfaro. A trend can be seen in the Accounting Society. "Accounting Society Alumni often times work in the firms that donate to CSUSM or directly to Accounting Society and other Alumni will also look at current members in the Accounting Society" for future positions said Alfaro. The Accounting Society holds two weekly meetings currently in Markstein Hall 104 on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 12 o'clock to 1 o'clock during University Hour. Students should expect "to get professional knowledge and to held August 30th said Alfaro. "All students are encouraged to get involved now and attend the meetings," said Alfaro. Still think that Accounting Society is not for you, maybe perhaps it's too stuffy? Upon calling a willing and patient Alfaro for some last minute questions regarding the Accounting Society late and extremely last minute on a Saturday night a familiar loud thumping beat of "Play that -funky music" by Wild Cherry throbbed through the phone. Open the door yourself and check out one of these meetings that the Accounting Society has to offer.

The Accounting Society also holds events off campus that help students with their careers and networking. This past week on September 7th the Accounting Society held and invent at Carlsbad Windmill called Clear Connections that "over 65 students and over 50 professionals attended," said Alfaro. The next two weeks will hold four meetings for the Accounting Society on the 13th, 14th, 20th, and the 21st of which they will be held in Markstein Hall 104 from 12 o'clock to 1 o'clock during University Hour, and foodprovided of course.

People worldwide have been expressing their condolences and appreciation for his contribution towards wildlife preservation. The Cal State San Marcos men's soccer team went into Saturday's game with the objective of winning for the university and in memory of Steve Irwin. On Saturday September 9, after two scoreless halves between CSUSM and visiting Pomona Pitzer, the game headed into double overtime. Senior Ben Crouse, a transfer from the University of Notre Dame, set up Freshman Bradley Seidenglanz for the game winning goal. Immediately after the goal, Seidenglanz sprinted towards the Cougar fans, raising his jersey and unveiling his "In Memory of Steve Irwin" undershirt. "I was a big fan of 'The Crocodile Hunter.' I use to watch him as a kid", said Seidenglanz. "The teammates and I thought of a way to celebrate his life." In an offensive 1-0 struggle, the men's team endured a physical contest, testing their will and determination. A visibly bigger and athletic Pomona team disrupted the play of the confident Cougars. "We were not as sharp, or focused* today," said Coach * Ron Pulvers.

I have spent that week reflecting on the whole situation. Aaron Mansker, the off-duty cop who formerly worked at Palomar College, claims that Foley was swerving at various speeds on Interstate freeway 163 in the early hours after 2 AM, nearly hitting other cars and road barriers. He followed Foley to his home on Travertine Court in Poway, all the while making several attempts at pulling him over and attempting to let him know that he was an officer. I personally haven't had the best experiences with cops, partially because some of my friends are not that bright, and simply because I am Latino. I can remember one time playing basketball in an area that is not accustomed to diversity and having two cop cars pull onto the court with sirens blaring, asking me questions about who I was and what I was doing. That was in the sunlight, so I can only imagine what a black man who plays in the NFL would be thinking if someone claiming to be an offduty cop at 3 AM was following him while waiving a gun. For all Foley knew, Mansker could have been some crazy fan. I know many of you are probably saying, "Why do you have to bring race into this?" Well, my answer is that because whether you want to admit it or not, race is a factor in nearly everything in life. I suggest taking Intercultural Communication 330 with Fredi Avalos or Sociology Inequality 311 with Donna Goyer. Those classes could clear some things up for you. got to be honest and say that if I am driving at 3 AM and someone claiming to be an offduty cop tries to pull me over, there is no, way I am pulling over. I am waiting for back-up to show, because general protocol for most police departments state that an off-duty officer should not attempt an arrest immediately, but wait for uniformed officers to show up on the scene in marked cars. I, like Foley can only react on my own experiences. Someone in plain clothes waiving a gun at me is not an officer, even if he claims to be one. Mansker claims that Foley reached for his waistband when he stepped out of his vehicle near his home. I don't know about any of you, but hearing that piece of news reminded me of the scene in "Crash" when Ryan Phillippe's character kills Larenz Tate's character. Phillippe thinks Tate is reaching for a gun in his jacket and Tate is actually trying to show him that they own the same religious artifact. Foley is a menacing looking dude, but everyone I know who has had experiences with him has had nothing but the nicest things to say about him. I have spent numerous days at Chargers training camp the past two seasons and have witnessed his interaction with the fans. Other than Ladainian Tomlinson there may be no greater Chargers ambassador to younger fans than Foley. I am in no way defending Foley because the guy does have some alcohol related problems in his past and at the time l am writing this not much has been confirmed regarding this incident. All I am saying is that there are sketchy circumstances on both sides of the ball in this situation. By the way, if I offended any of the officers on this campus, I didn't mean it. I love you guys, so don't bother me. Comments can be sent to Sando026@csusm.edu. Letter to the Editor: Pedestrians need to be careful Do you all remember the days when Mommy and Daddy would constantly tell you to look both ways before you walk out into the street? Did you all somehow forget how to look once you got to college? After the accident that happened on Wednesday around 5:15pm, I would hope that most of you would realize that it could have been you lying in the road. I do not know all the details, because it was minutes after I had crossed, but I hope anyone involved in the accident is alright. I understand everyone is in a hurry to get home or to work so you just walk out to get to your car thinking "they'll stop, I'm a pedestrian, I have the right a way" but that won't always play in your favor. With the new lot F open, the line of cars trying to leave down the hill is incredible! Why not instead of walking by yourself across the road, holding up that line of traffic, you wait until there is a group of students t o cross. Let the cars get out as well, I'm sure they are in just as big of a hurry as you are. We can't always have the campus police out there directing traffic so we need to be adults here and pay attention! Don't just step off the curb and HOPE the cars see you and stop, because they may not. I don't think we'll be getting a traf- fic light with the flashing hand allowing you to cross anytime soon so until then, look both ways before you cross, and let a few cars go until there are a few people to walk across with you.

It's easy to watch and easy on the brain. There isn't much plot, just pure entertainment. If you like movies like Lost Boys, Duces Wild, and American Outlaws, you'll like The Covenant Although the five boys, Caleb (Steven Strait)* Progue (Taylor Kitsch), Chase (Sebastion Stan),Reid (Toby Hemingway), and Tylef (Chance Crawford) are descendants from witches, they use something like super powers friore than spells and chants. Hurling balls of energy at one another, the boys struggle to maintain control of this addictive habit because using the powers they have will lead to very premature aging. The action scenes are fun and the special effects are well done, but not overdone. There are a lot of similar looking characters, which is a little confusing at first, but once you place seven or so names with characters, it's an enjoyable movie. There are also a few scantily clad girls weaved into the movie to add some diversity, but they don't have much to do with the story. As far as suspense goes, it doesn't have it. This is an action film with hot bodies. There aren't any surprises and the end is left Open for a sequel. There's no question about who the bad guy is and no misleading suspects. Everything is laid out for the audience as they watch the characters figure out what they already know. There are a few minor issues that you just have to ignore in order to enjoy this film. The first and most obvious is the appearance of ghosts or spirits called "darklings" are never explained. The characters know what they are, but the audience is kept in the dark. Fortunately, they don't seem to do much except give the audience a cheap thrill. There are also a few characters introduced in the beginning that serve no purpose in the mpvie, adding identity confusion to an already overstuffed cast of young,, attractive actors. It's hard enough to tell them apart without adding needless characters. One last thing that I found annoying was the use of dialogue to explain the plot. Despite these faults of this movie, I did enjoy living in a fantasy world for an hour and a half where regular people get to have super natural powers. Where the good guy is completely good and the bad guy is almost completely bad. The Covenant is probably not going to win any awards, but it will keep you entertained.

Noone seems to agree on the origins of the Margarita, theories ranging from a bar owner in Acapulco named Margarita, and a bartender infatuated with a young lady named Margarita. However, this much is certain: the originator and all those who expanded upon his or her recipe are~true innovators in the colorful world of mixed drinks. A Strawberry Margarita has four basic i ngredients: tequila, strawberries, lime juice, and triple sec. It may come as a surprise that so many variations have been derived from this basic recipe. Still, while some prefer to use fresh strawberries, some prefer frozen, and others simply must have frozen sliced strawberries in syrup to please their sweet tooth, Tequila is another bone of contention as many have their own favorite brand. Arguably, however, any silver tequila will add a distinctiveflavorwhose heat will still juxtapose beautifully with the icy sweetness of the 'rita. The biggest difference, perhaps, between the various Strawberry 'Ritas out there, is the method of blending. In some, the ingredients are stirred together with ice in a mixing glass and strained into a margarita glass. In others, the ingredients are tossed into a blender and intermingled into a slushy consistency: Yet, no matter what recipe or Photo by Sophie Brink / The Pride method is preferred, the Strawberry Margarita will leave its drinker duly refreshed. A respectable Strawberry Margarita recipe (one serving): 1 Vi ounces silver tequila, 14 ounce Cointreau, 1 ounce fresh lime juice (or Rose's lime juice for a sweeter flavor), 4 ounces frozen strawberries (partially thawed), 1 scoop ice, Lime slice,1 fresh strawberry, Coarse sugar. Combine all ingredients, save for the lime slice, fresh strawberry, and coarse sugar, in a blender and blend until desired consistency is achieved. Rub the rim of a margarita glass with lime and dip into coarse sugar t o coat. Pour- mixture into glass and garnish with the fresh strawberry. Enjoy! IP ^^W^OKï^Itt j y E ÉU BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer September marks the end of sumijier, aad;as suclr it i i the last chance to enjoy summer brews and the fruitflavoredbeers. Thefirsttime I had a Pete's Wicked Strawberry Blonde, I was a little apprehensive. The name brought to mind images of a number of sugary "malt beverages" such as Smirnoff Ice or Mike's Hard Lemonade. While many people enjoy those sorts of drinks, I am overpowered by their sweetness. So it took a considerable amount of Restaurant reassurance before I tried one and the result was an enjoyable afternoon and a new summer tradition. . P e t e ' s Wicked Strawberry Blonde is a Golden Lager brewed and bottled since the late 1980's by Pete's Brewing Company in San Antonio, Texas. I t ^ widely available beer, usually J ol| in six and twelve packs for a reasonable price. Pete's Wicked Strawberry Blonde is brewed with pale and wheat malts, and yakima and tettnang hops. At five percent alcohol per Photo by David Gatley / The Pride volume, it's an excellent beer for a warm afternoon, though its unique taste may not be ideal for a extended drinking session. Pete's Wicked Strawberry Blonde pours smooth, leaving a thick, rich head which dissolves slowly leaving ropy lacings on the side of the glass. The beer itself is a pleasantly clear amber color. As it pours, you can clearly smell the wheat and a hint of strawberryflavor.It has a slightly sweet andfruitytaste, but not an over powering one. Hie titular strawberry taste is not an artificial sort of strawberry candyflavor;instead it's more like the actual berry's taste. The beer as a whole has a deep and smooth taste; the sweetness of strawberry tempered against the rich, full taste of the wheat malt. The mouthfeel is cool and refreshing, and slightly crisp and carbonated. The aftertaste is a little flat, but not unpleasant. Although available year round, this beer is best appreciated during the long days of summer; and since those days are quickly running out, it's best to enjoy a few before you miss your opportunity for the year. Review: arieta's F ine Mexican Food BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer Marieta's Fine Mexican Food is one of 18 restaurants in Old California Restaurant Row, a mission-style complex that also offers a variety ofboutiques and an Edward's Cinema. Located on San Marcos Boulevard, Restaurant Row is less than three miles from CSUSM. The visitor to Marieta's, upon entering, is enveloped by the smell of Mexican spices and a softy buzzing energy. Low, rough-hewn beamed ceilings support hanging lamps of colored glass and numerous string lights of various shapes and sizes. The relative dimness contributes to the overall feeling of intimacy of the interior. Painted in hues of green and honey-beige, the walls are bedecked with ceramic sun sculptures, wooden carvings, sepia-toned photographs, and paintings, one in particular depicting women dancing in a courtyard and clad in traditional mantillas. The evening my husband and I visited, in less than five minutes the hostess had showed us to our table, our server had taken our order for drinks and an appetizer, and chips and salsa had been delivered to our table. Our server remained speedy and attentive, indeed brisk, the rest of the evening. Patrons of the restatfraat were diverse, including|pmil^ groups and young and^oider couples. All seemed relaxed and happy, diving into carne asada, enchiladas, tacos, and other fare with a healthy gusto. The presentation of my meal, Enchiladas Suizas, was simple, rice on one side, beans on the other, two enchiladas in between that were smothered in cheese and green tomatillo sauce and stuffed with moist, flavorful, shredded chicken. For the tequila connoisseur or those simply seeking to become intimately acquainted with tequila, Marieta's boasts a collection of 50. One of the 50 managed to find its merry way into my strawberry margarita, smoothly blended and garnished with a slice of orange. For two entrees, two drinks, and %o$e, appetizer we paid $42188.

ASI is a student run auxiliary which acts as the voice of the student body. As the students' advocate, ASI creates opportunities for student engagement such as concerts, festivals, intramural sports and other activities that students request for their enjoyment and betterment.

The student should submit medical documentation proving immunization. Documentation can include a physician's verification of immunizations records or a copy of a laboratory blood test proving immunity to Measles and Rubella. Immunization must have taken place after Jan. 1, 1968 or after the student's first birthday. First time students who are 18 or younger on Aug. 1 of their entering academic year must also present proof of full immunization, against Hepatitis B. For those who cannot provide proof of immunization for Measles and Rubella and/ or Hepatitis B, an appointment can be made with Student Health and Counseling Services to receive the MMR vaccination free of charge. The vaccination for Hepatitis B, on the other hand, involves a small fee. Walk-in clinic dates for MMR and Hepatitis B are Aug. 28 through Sept. 1, Monday through Friday; Sept. 5 through 8, Tuesday through Friday; Sept. 18 through 22, Monday through Friday; Oct. 2 through 6, Monday through Friday; and Oct. 16 through 20, Monday through Friday. Times are 9 a.m. to 11 a m. and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. for all dates. An appointment may also be made for an MMR titer blood test to check immunity levels for Measles and Rubella. Students are advised to have a student identification card handy when visiting. Student Health and Counseling Services also requests that childcare arrangements be made prior to the student's visit. Fees can be settled using cash, check, ATM, Visa or Master card.

On the first day of school, Kyle spent eight hours of his twelve hour shift directing traffic. Campus police officers will direct the traffic in pairs of two until Kyle said, "as long as traffic maintains a public safety issue." Traffic doesn't look like it will let up any time soon, especially with an increased amount of students leaving campus during university hour. Our campus isn't equipped with tunnels and bridges, and with the volume of people driving out of parking lot F each afternoon and walking to their cars, Kyle says he doesn't see an end to the officer directed crosswalk until new technology is built. "If we had a traffic light or a bridge, we'd get a chance to reduce our staffing." Currently we have ten CSOs working on campus. The university police department hopes to gain at least four more students. Matt Curran and Evelyn Henriquez are two student CSOs who were on patrol in their vehicle on Friday afternoon. Curran, a CSO supervisor, also works in the University Village Apartments. In the past he has found a lost child and has interfered when two people attempted to break into a car on campus. He and.other CSOs are willing and ready anytime to escort students on and around campus. "Many people don't know about it but we can escort them from the main campus to the Ralph's shopping center and Barham Apartments." Henriquez is a criminal justice major who has just finished her training. As student enrollment increases, the CSOs increase their squad by one officer each year. Our university has an impeccable safety record and a lot of credit can be given to our student officers. Kyle says, "They play a crucial role in our policing." CSO shifts are from eight in the morning to midnight. After midnight, campus police patrol the campus. And without a bridge, tunnel or stoplight, we'll be seeing a lot of them on campus during yet another transitional time. At the campus police dispatch at 441 La Moree Road in San Marcos, they are currently and continually seeking students to fill out applications for the Community Service Officer position. A background check similar to those that police officers undergo is required. r, v o o p c x ) S ATURDAYS ..

Joshua Walter Lovelace, a graduate student in math, was completely inspired by Dr. Radhika Ramamurthi after taking her Algebra Graph Theory course. Through her energetic and passionate character, Lovelace could see from the beginning that she was concerned about student's learning. Even as a math major, Lovelace says, "I went into it feeling as if it were impossible. She helped me believe in myself, that I could do this." Pamela Castillo, a literature major, couldn't just choose one. "I've been fortunate enough to have several professors that stand out, including Professor Price, Professor Newman, and Dr. Yuan Yuan. The faculty mentor program stands out the most for me. Lisa Bandong has been a wonderful friend and inspiration along with my mentor, Dr. Salah Moukhlis." Jesse Taylor, a computer science major, has seen students give up while taking introductory courses in computer programming. "Either the professor didn't know how to teach or they just weren't enthusiastic about it." Professor Ahmad THE PRIDE Hadaegh changed Taylor's outlook for good. "Not only is he knowledgeable in what he teaches, but he makes it fun and interesting. And he's hilarious. He reassured me that programming is what I want to do with my life." Brittany Smith was doubtful whether she was going to become an accounting major until she had Dr. Mary Ceim for financial and managerial accounting. Brittany says, "She was the most challenging professor I've ever had and that motivated me to meet that challenge." Smith spent the summer working for Sempra Energy through an internship and is happy about her career choice. With so many obstacles and doubts a college student can face day to day, we are fortunate to have a supporting staff to help ease any worries or concerns, or even to say "you can do this" without having to say it at all.

From the NFC North expect the Chicago Bears to take the division for a second straight year. The NFC South will be won by the Carolina Panthers and the NFC West will go to the Seattle Seahawks. The two Wild Card spots will be taken by the Dallas Cowboys and the Arizona Cardinals. The thing everyone wants to know is who will play in the super bowl. Here's a match-up for you to take to Vegas. The Dolphins and Panthers will be playing in the big game. The Panthers are without a doubt the favorite from the NFC. The Jake Delhomme to Steve Smith combination is amazing. DeShaun Foster finally gets the starting running back job. Even if Foster isn't healthy throughout the season they drafted exceptionally well by grabbing DeAngelo Williams and have another great backup in Nick Goings. They also Eli Manning and the New York Giants face Peyton Manning and the Colts. I don't know if brothers have ever faced one another at quarterback in the NFL, but this should be interesting. The Thanksgiving Day games will actually be some good ones for the first time in a long while. The Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos play in one game, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Dallas Cowboys play in another and in the stinker of the three the Miami Dolphins and Detroit Lions play. As far as playoff teams, the following are my picks. From the AFC East the Dolphins will win the division. In the AFC North the Bengals will take it.

Not to mention, Julius Peppers is a beast on the defensive side. The Dolphins is probably a pick that will raise some eyebrows, but hear me out on this one. The Dolphins got Daunte Culpepper in the off-season. They already have a top deep threat wide receiver in Chris Chambers. Culpepper can throw a great deep ball as evidenced by his relationship with Randy Moss. They also have a top running back in Ronnie Brown to balance the offense. The 'Fins won six in a row to end last season to finish 97.1 expect that trend to continue into this season. They also only have six games against playoff teams from last season.

X V I N O. 2 TUESDAY, AUGUST 29, 2006 Highest enrollment in school history School shows tremendous support for new NAIA soccer teams UVA: Freshmen lose personal space BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer New students at CSU San Marcos will find it harder to feel alone this Fall semester—enrollment at the university has increased by almost seventeen percent from last fall's total enrollment. CSU San Marcos has grown considerably in large part due to the state government allowing the school to increase its total student population at a greater rate than in previous years. With a net gain of almost 1,100 full time equivalent students, CSU San Marcos is up to 6,968 students, over 1,300 of whom are incoming freshman. Last year at this time CSU San Marcos was at 5,898 including non full time students total enrollment on campus is 8,461, as compared to last years total of 7,251. And both of these figures are above previous campus enrollment records which had peaked in 2003 when enrollment jumped to 7,708 students. This record breaking growth is not unique however, as San Diego State University has also broken enrollment records with its incoming class this year. While the officialfiguresfor enrollment at all California State University schools are not available until September 22nd, this growth could likely make the student population at CSU 'San Marcos larger than several other California State campuses. Last year, CSU San Marcos was the 19th largest of the CSU schools, beating only CSU Humboldt, CSU Monterey Bay, CSU Channel Islands and the Maritime Academy in terms of size. This year CSU San Marcos will become the 16th largest California State University having a larger student population than CSU Stanislaus, CSU Sonoma, and CSU Bakersfield. The increase in enrollment has had other effects on the school as well. Parking has been increased to accommodate the incoming class, including the opening of Lot F, and the continuing use of temporary lots X, Y, and Z. On campus housing has also beaten previous records, with 575 total residents ENROLLMENT, SEE page 2 Photo by Kelly Corrigan / The Pride UVA residents Sean Richards and Andrew Weltzein move into their room to find their space originally occupied by one person will now have to fit the both of them.

In order for UVA to build more apartments elsewhere on campus, they need tofirstprove to the State of California that they have the demand to do so. The challenge: accommodating one hundred more students a space provided originally intended for less. One particular aspect about the UVA which proved to be a rarity among other university dorms was the gift of choice. In the past, students could choose to live in a private room with three other roommates. Students could also choose to share a larger room with one roommate. Either way, four students were assigned to one apartment. Alas, this is where the freshmen come in. Every freshman living iri a private room setup in buildings B and C are affected by the change. In each private room setup, there are now six people living in it instead of four. In two out of the four 9 Vi by 11ft.rooms, there are now two freshman instead of one; along with two desks, two dressers, and two beds.

CSUSM came out running halfway through the contest and produced a recycling rate over 50 percent, up from the 43 percent from the 2005 competition. CSUSM actually produces an even higher rate but the contest limits the materials used in the calculation. CSUSM owes the victory to not only the students but to two groups known as the Blue Team and the Green Team. The Green Team is a group of students and faculty at CSUSM who are always thinking of new ways to reduce waste on the campus, the Blue Team collects the recycled materials throughout the campus. These two groups combined have greatly contributed to the two victories. The "Pin Man" trophy from the 2005 victory by CSUSM was handed over to Point Loma based on their 2006 victory in the Waste Minimization category. Point Loma was able to reduce the amount of trash for each student to just 35 pounds per person. Yes, even the trophies are recycled in the Recycle Mania competitions. CSUSM is synonymous with recycling. Steven Brankov who is a student at CSUSM said, "San Marcos is always clean, you don't see trash in the bushes, you see cleanliness." Another student at CSUSM Jenny Bigpond commented, "Those bins are everywhere, it's almost impossible not to recycle." Not only will students walk away from CSUSM with a degrees, and muscular calves, but they will also walk a\yay with recycling as part of their lifestyle. With positive attitudes about recycling like this all over this campus there is no question that CSUSM will be ready for the next Recycle Mania 2007 competition which will be held January through April.

The growth raises concerns among some about resources and services being stretched even more than they have been previously. Some students express concerns about longer wait times at places like computer labs and at the on campus Starbucks and classes filling up faster. Whether or not these sorts of concerns will become serious issues for students during the semester though remains to be seen. Until then, the campus at least appears to be ready to welcome and make room for all 8,500 of us. •. « ¿dressf t elephoae ^ ii&mber^ e -maH tag Meattilcatioii» t etters a nd . jfc^Wd'. tMto p d ri^ m il yisi . ptectrmic . , ibm t& tteMttMA^ C SU ft i t the policy of 13ie Prfde i*ot to priat m mymsm l etters.'

It is generally referred to as halftime in football and the seventh-inning stretch in baseball. But a mandated break in college? I can't say that I am a big fan of this "University Hour" that takes place from 11:50AM-12:50PM. This isn't pre-school where we needed "nap-time". Joshie is a big boy now and he can certainly manage his own time properly. Having no classes during that time killed my scheduling of classes for this semester. It made it impossible for me to schedule classes on just two days a week. My Monday's are going to be brutal now. My first class is from 8AM to 8:50AM, followed by a 1 hour 45 minute break, then a class from 10:30AM to 11:45AM. After "nap-time", I have a class from 1PM to 2:50PM, followed by a 2 hour 40 minute break, and then my last class goes from 5:30PM to 8:15PM. As you can clearly see I have enough time off in between classes already. Since I live a half hour away, going home during those breaks generally is not a smart option since I would spend more time on the road than doing something there. The proponents of "nap-time" believe that this will influence more students to get involved in the university. Anyone who didn't want to get involved in the university before certainly won't use a free hour to get involved now; It will be spent grabbing something to eat, talking on a cell phone or just hanging out. I don't want to hear the excuse that "students don't have enough time in the day to get involved in the university or to study." I somehow find a way to take 19units, write for "The Pride", write for the "Union-Tribune", participate in other activities around the school, and still manage to have a little fun. Go to any professor in the Communication department and ask how involved I am. I also don't want to hear the excuse that other universities and community colleges have similar programs. That's like figure skating realizing the appeal of fighting in the NHL and wanting to implement that in their "sport". Imagine Johnny Weir taking one to the temple from Michelle Kwan. Some things just don't belong in certain places. This university is a commuter campus where many students have full-time jobs and are a bit older than the average college student. We should not be trying to make this place into something it's not. If more student involvement is wanted then there is one thing that needs to be done. More on-campus Photo by David Gatley / The Pride housing needs to be developed, because the majority of people who live on campus are involved in some sort of campus activity on a regular basis.

After doing the math, 1 found out that if they keep going with this $90 raise every 3 months, my grandchildren if they attend Cal State San Marcos in 2048 will pay $1508 for parking, which is basically what you pay for tuition in 2006! Something needs to take charge against this rate hike against students. We all have numerous expenses not including tuition and books. As students we should take action against these unfair prices and have them reduced to what they were close to in 2003» Lets make Cal State San Marcos an affordable place to park. to him.

Boddington's pub ale works perfectly; it is both refreshing and at the same time filling and just looking at it while it's being poured may bring a smile to your face. Widely available both on tap at most pubs or in four packs at most stores, Boddington's pub ale has been produced in Manchester England for the last 200 years and is now distributed by Whitbread. With 4.1% per volume alcohol content, it is not excessively strong. And while it is not the best beer in terms of flavor, Boddington's has a decent and smooth taste of slight hops with a hint of sweetness. The aroma becomes more pronounced as the beer warms, and like most British beers it is best served cool, not cold. While most connoisseurs would scoff at drinking a canned beer, Boddington's is in some ways more f un to drink in canned form than as a draft. The bright taxicab yellow and black pint cans come four to a pack and generally cost between six and eight dollars. The can itself contains a "floating widget", to aid in creating a rich, creamy head. Floating widgets are small hollow plastic balls with tiny holes in them that are inserted into the can before it is sealed. Liquid nitrogen is then inserted into the can which expands after the can is sealed, which forces "irJjlj beer and gas into the widget. Once the can is opened and exposed to the outside world, the pressure in the can drops causing the beer and gas inside the widget to shoot out of the widget's tiny hole. The mixing action of the pressurized beer releases the dissolved nitrogen in the beer and creates a creamy head as you pour it. The process is both fascinating and f un, and sometimes if opened improperly, results in an explosive, foamy release of beer—which just adds to Boddington's charm. With a bright golden color, and a thick creamy head, Boddington's looks cheerful and inviting. With its smooth taste and mild after taste it works well on its own, so it is perfect for an afternoon of watching football or an after studying round at the pub.

BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer After several months of work, Parking and Transportation Services has made significant changes to parking conditions on campus the most prominent of which is the addition of parking lot "F". Accommodating over 1500 vehicles, lot "F" is the largest surface lot to date at CSUSM. According to the Parking and Transportation Services website, other additions include upgraded parking signage, refreshed surfaces for parking lots "B" and "C", an extension of Campus View Drive providing access to parking lots "F" and "H". 3 m Access to parking lot "H" will be redirected through the new parking lot (lot "F") and the current entrance to lot H behind Markstein Hall will be closed. Parking lot "H" will now be a faculty/ staff and disabled only parking lot. To help fund these changes, parking fees for the fall semester have been increased to $248.00 and $315.00 for UVA students, with another increase is planned to be implemented later. Lot "F" will have the following features, added carpool spaces, 95 motorcycle spaces, drive up and walk up permit machines with credit card capability, emergency pole stations and a new entrance to parking lot "H".

U I ^ V / V / L V L J Ü JJRI^LV BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM Pride Alumn Photo by David Gatley/The Pride Zachary Simon ponders why he ever bought so many books for class. Saving money while going to college can be a difficult task. Yet one way to save literally thousands of dollars during your years at college is to simply not buy your textbooks. It sounds harder than it is but if you can handle it, there are a number of simple ways to not buy your textbooks and still pass your classes. First off, don't buy your books ahead of time. A lot of students stress about buying their textbooks, and making sure they do the readings. Yet stressing won't necessarily produce an A at the end of the semester. It's like getting nervous before a test; you aire only doing yourself a disservice. Instead of buying your textbooks before a class starts, wait until you're actually in the class for a few days to see if the teacher is really going to use the books. Teachers are required to assign textbooks for their classes, even if they are not going to use them. Plus, p ^ l j ^ l i yott looking f M ^ ^ d to for Fall 2006? many assigned textbooks are often only recommended and not required by teachers. More often than not if you simply attend class and pay attention to the lectures you'll pass without a problem and without the need of the textbooks. Of course, this doesn't work for all classes, and if you really need to have or use a textbook for one of your classes there are cheaper ways to access them than visiting the campus bookstore. For example, try borrowing the required reading from someone else in the class. Many teachers often only use the textbooks as a way to supplement material learned in class, thus you may only need the text once or twice during a semester. Classmates are usually more than willing to loan you a book, especially if it's only for a day or two. Another good method of gaining access to textbook information, if needed, is through the Internet. For example, if you have a membership to amazon.com you can actually access many BY PATRICK B. LONG Pride Alumn Jennifer Wlams 1 Senior Literature & Writing I jumped into the work force as soon as I turned eighteen, and worked fulltime for nearly twelve years. This time included eight years of military service, in which I signed up for the G.I. Bill, in hopes to go to college some day. I began college around my second year of my military service, working slowly, but methodically, toward my degree. Changing my degree a couple times, I seemed to start over every time. When I left the military, I had a goal in mind: college. Well, one thing led to another, and I got sidetracked. I went back to work fulltime again, chipping away at classes at night. I decided two years ago to devote my entire time to finishing my degree. I began my sabbatical from work in order to finish, finally after several years, my bachelor's degree. My company seemed happy enough to let me take the time and return when I was finished, but I had other plans. I walked in the graduation ceremony in May 2006, but had to return for classes in both sessions of the summer semester.

If you need a textbook for more than a few days, try simply using the library. Even if the book is not shelved locally, the library wilt order just about any book you need, for free, through inter-library loan. If all else fails and you must buy a textbook, visit websites like half.com to find textbooks at their cheapest. Publishers make their money by constantly releasing new editions of textbooks each year, keeping prices high. Yet, often the information contained in a new textbook edition is the same as in the older editions. Thus, if you need a 7th edition of a $100 book, you can probably find the 5th edition of that same book for literally $10 online. It's well known how expensive textbooks can be, so don't let them break your wallet; there are plenty of ways around buying and paying lots of money for your textbooks. The world after college n ew parking fc^^ s uch a h aste getting a s pace w hen 1 g ethere s o e arfyinthe morning • ..... THE PRIDE after spending over twelve years working on a four year degree. So what is life like after college? Well, it seems that it is exactly the same as when I entered. Thefirstthing I committed to was a vacation. I took my wife to Las Vegas to make up all of the time I spent at school studying and working. It was nice to spend my first weekend in years not worrying about my homework. I returned to my job, because I sat around not sending my résumé in proper time for any interviews during summer session, and found it was waiting for me. In fact, it was like returning home after several ears tofindyour room the same, but covered in dust. The company did not replace me, though, I wish they had. I spent all this time to return to the same job, I can't wait until my résumé catches they èye of a great company with large salaries and even better benefits. So, I worked on my résumé, spending a full week tweaking small elements on the résumé. I found out that it takes as much time as a full time job, to find a full time job. I'm slowly coming around to the idea that I will return to school. I'm currently looking at law school for my return in education. y �Jock Talk With Josh: What is and what w ill be BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Columnist Cassidy missed me twice, which could explain why he was sent down to the minor leagues. Jake Peavy showed him how it is done and hit me with a strike. I went to the Del Mar Racetrack a few times. I got to see 2005 Kentucky Derby winner Giacomo. He won and, of course, I tried to be a smart guy and bet against him. Now let's see if I remember I recently spent some time at how to do this. First off, I am glad the San Diego Chargers training to be back for my fifth semester camp. It was interesting to see writing this column. The time new starting quarterback Philoff was nice, but I sure hope your lip Rivers command a huddle.

I strongly encourage each of you to get involved in something. your own opportunity.- Former Dean of Students, Jonathan Poullard once told me, "CSUSM is for the motivated. It is for people that really want to create something. It is not for the people who just want to sit back and watch." He was absolutely right. It created opportunity for him at Cal Berke- ley, where he is now. Anyways, a short explanation for the new students about what this column is all about. It's supposed to be a sports column, but as many old readers know, I tend to speak on social issues and tend to anger more than my fair share of people. So as per the usual, my email address, sando026@csusm. edu will accompany each of my columns so that I can continue to get threats of a beat down. This year should be an interesting one, sports wise. We now have baseball, Softball and men's and women's soccer. I know I have been saying this for some time now, but expect more sports stories. Since I have been at CSUSM, the quality of work from this paper reached an all new high last semester. I think new editorin-chief David Gatley will take that baton from Patrick B.

HjQO« to 4:00p Bf m aar While the weather is still hot during the days, the evenings have become increasingly cool as the fall semester begins. The change in weather inevitably leads to a change in beers—the sweeter and lighter colored beers and ales of summer give way to richer and more f ull bodied beers of fall. One beer that is perfect for the colder evenings of the beginning of fall is Birra Moretti. While pouring it, you will first smell the strong malt flavor and hear the slight hiss of carbonation. The beer is a rich straw color, and is best served between 41-45 degrees. The bottle is dark brown with a picture of a mustached man, holding a large beer stein. The man on the label's eyes are downcast, he looks tired andpresumably somewhat inebriated. This picture accurately describes the experience of drinking Birra Moretti—a quiet and calming experience. Much like the fall semester, the beer is heavy but not overbearing, bitter but smooth mmm • • • M enough to drink leisurely. This is not a beer for a night out on the town; rather it is best for quiet evenings after a hard day's work or study. First produced in 1859 in the city of Udine, in the Friuli region of Italy, Birra Moretti is a 4.6% alcoholic lager with a smell and taste reminiscent of some Austrian beers. The beer is now brewed and bottled by Heineken Italia in Comun Nuovo, Italy and imported by Star Brand Imports. While it is not widely available, Birra Moretti is mostly found at specialty beer dealers and fortunately in some Italian restaurants. While it stands alone well, the beer is best served with the warm and hearty pasta dishes of its home country Italy. While not for those with delicate palates, Birra Moretti can provide warmth during the chill evenings of the fall semester, remind you of the bitterness of being back in school and at the same time help you through i t Photo by David Baiter/The Pride W WWSMBI» BY Wtéñ NAME P ride S taff W riter Want to make a difference on campus?

BY SOPHIA BRINK Pride Staff Writer Photo courtesy of disney.go.com L ady i n t he Water c omes u p d ry BY DAVID GATLEY Editor in Chief I really like most of M. Night Shamalan's work. However, "Lady In the Water" did not follow suit. Much like most of his films, "Lady in the Water" was marketed as a suspenseful thriller and much like the others, was anything but. Films like "Unbreakable" and "The Village" miss the thriller mark but cover the gap with depth of story and wonderful visuals within the film; making the films enjoyable on at least one level. "Lady in the Water" is about as deep as the children's pool, the visuals are mediocre at best and the plot is, well imagine turning the popular nursery rhyme "Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water" into a 2 hour long movie and you can get a good idea of what to expect. Of course Paul Giamatti and Bryce Dallas Howard turn in stellar performances but it is altogether too little too late. In case you didn't see the movie already, don't even bother renting it. If you were part of the unlucky few who did see the movie, my sympathies. Photo courtesy of waruerbros.com Why did Superman return? BY PATRICK B.

He Bryan Singer brought a new seemed more comfortable being Superman to the screen over the clumsy and awkward than forthright. Maybe in the next movie, summer; one I did not like. "Superman Returns" sought he can play Clark, and someone out a younger actor to portray else can play the man of steel. Then there was Kate Bosworth, the triple identities of Clark Kent, Superman, and Kalel (the last son I'm not sure what character she was suppose to be, because that of Krypton). In the movie, Superman returns was not hard hitting reporter from a five year absence. He left Louis Lane. Louis Lane is fearEarth to look for any signs of his home world, Krypton. He returns with little or no explanation of his journey or what he found. This would have been more interesting than spending hours pining after Louis. When he returns, he finds that life goes on without him, and this upsets him. Louis has a boyfriend and a son. The world didn't blow up, and crime didn't sky rocket out of control. So, our superhero uses his > superpowers to hover outside of the home of Louis Lane and spies on her with his super peepers and her triple personality superhero. I can only suggest replacing her altogether for the now dubious sequel. My personal favorite character, Lex Luthor, was well played by Kevin Spacey. He was charismatic when needed, and plotted evil well. I only wish they gave him some new plan do plot rather than land deals, just as in the first Superman. Overall, the movie had some really good action, but most of that was in the trailers. The love story between Louis and Clark seemed to dominate the entire movie. It's really upsetting that I enjoyed movies like "The Incredibles" or even "Sky High" more than "Superman Returns". Bryan Singer should go back to "Xmen" and give the next Superman to Christopher Nolan.
