�S TUDENT HEALTH AND COUNSELING SERVICES
Keeping you healthier, a little wealthier, and wise
BYTORIA BODDEN
FEATURES EDITOR
Hie beginning of the academic year is a
great time for both new and returning students
to learn about services offered by CSUSM, especially ones that can not only keep you healthy,
but also keep a little more money in your
pocket.
Student Health and Counseling Services
(SHCS) is located directly across Twin Oaks
Valley Road at 120 Craven Road. Its within
easy walking distance of campus, and offers a
significant amount of health services for free,
or at reduced prices, to students. I got a chance
to sit down with Dr. Karen Nicholson, SHCS's
medical director, to talk about how SHCS can
help you as a student.
PRIDE: What would you say are the most important services offered here?
DR. NICHOLSON: Well, the most common
thing we see students for are issues surrounding family planning and sexual health... We
have a free services program called Family
PACT. It provides family planning to students
who qualify, both men and woman. That could
be free pap smear, free birth control, free STD
screenings for women. For young men, it can
include free STD screens and condoms. It's our
third year of providing Family PACT. (For more
information about the program and to find
out if you qualify, stop by SHCS and talk to the
Family PACT registration coordinator Monday
through Thursday from 9am to 1 l am or 2pm to
4pm, Friday from 9am to 1 lam.). We see a lot
of headaches, sore throats, upset stomachs...
We also see a lot of students for depression and
anxiety. If students have stress or depression, we
refer students to our counseling section, which
is part of this center. We have three staff psychologists and a part time psychiatrist who can
prescribe medication.
W hat d o you t hink is t he most i mportant
t hing f or students t o know about SCHS?
Something t hat you would want incoming
students t o know?
As a registered student, students can see medical providers and counselors for free, with the
exception of the psychiatrist. If a student needs
to come every day, there's no co-pay. There are
some charges for labs or medications, but not all
of them. It's also good for students to know that
we have a registered pharmacist on staff, and
we carry a lot of over the counter medications
at significantly reduced prices for students. We
also look for ways to help students save money
on their medications. They're not obligated to
use our pharmacy. We'll tell you if a medication
might be cheaper at Walmart or Costco.
So why would students with health insurance
come to SCHS?
Sometimes, it's just more convenient to come
here. If students who have insurance see us,
there's no co-pay. If they need a prescription,
sometimes they can submit the receipt back
to the insurance company to be reimbursed.
(WRITER'S NOTE: The Family PACT program
offered by SHCS mentioned earlier can also help
students who have insurance, but need confidential sexual health services outside of their
insurance.)
Tell me about SCHS providing vaccines. I
know you were sending out e-mails left and
right when people needed the H1N1 vaccine
last year.
We offer a lot of vaccines. We'll have the flu shot
in early fall, no later than the end of September. We'll advertise the dates of the clinics. This
year, the regular flu shot and H1N1 vaccine will
be combined in one shot. It was about $10 for
students to receive the seasonalfluvaccine last
year, and it'll probably be about the same this
year... We also have the vaccines for Hepatitis A
and B, Tdap which is the tetanus shot, the meningitis vaccine, MMR, and Gardisil, the HPV
vaccine that has now been approved for use in
both men and women.. All of our vaccines are
$65 or less, except Gardasil. It's $120 per shot,
because it's so new.
So, what about H1N1? I've also heard about
whooping cough starting to be a problem in
elementary and high school.
We're in contact with the county and we help
them manage any potential outbreaks, so we're
well prepared for anything. Most of the stuff
people are hearing about whooping cough in
the media is happening to little kids. However,
we do know that adults can spread it to children, so we mostly want to make sure students
PHOTOS BY: TORIA BODDEN//THE PRIDE
who work with kids are immunized.
What about emergency services? Do you have
any advice f or students if they have an emergency?
We don't have an emergency room here, and we
don't offer urgent care. We are in a good location, though, with emergency response teams
on both sides of us, that can transport students
quickly to either Tri City Medical Center or Palomar Hospital... We do have same day appointments, though. These aren't for life threatening
emergencies, but they're for urgent problems
that happen overnight. We keep these appointments blocked off until the day of the appointment. Typically, even in non-urgent situation,
people can get appointments in one to two days.
The wait for counseling appointments does get
longer as the semester progresses.
One last question» since I know this is information that may be very important to both our male
and female readers. What are your resources for
dealing with sexual assault?
If any student is the victim of a sexual or physical assault, they can come here for an initial
evaluation, which will include a conversation
with one of our police officers. We're not a
sexual assault response team (SART) center.
The closest one is at Palomar. However, between
clinical help and counseling support, we do
everything we can to help the student. There's
also a new webpage from the Women's Center
website about sexual assault advocacy that may
help students (http://www.csusm.edu/sadv/sa/
index.html).

services, check online at http://www.csusm.edu/

�ARTS ASSOCIATION
GET INVOLVED WITH THE ARTS
BY CANDICE WYATT
ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR
Last fall marked the launch of the Arts Association, a student
organization that has quickly become an outlet for creative expression to
any CSUSM student who wants to participate.
"We want to encourage students to be involved in the arts outside
of the classroom. Its recreational, therapeutic, relaxing and expressive. It
gives students a creative space," stated Marilyn Huerta, Arts Association
Advisor.
Huerta, realizing there wasn't an art organization, began asking
students last year if they would be interested in starting a student art organization.
"In the past we've had about 120 members. I expect to continue
growing," stated Huerta.
Last year, the Arts Association organized events that included
Hope for Haiti Art Auction, Falling on Winter Student Art Exhibit, Love
Your Body Day in collaboration with the ASI Women's Center and Operation Art, an exhibit dedicated to veterans.
I he Arts Association will kick off the fall semester with a student
exhibit that will showcase student work in the Arts building.
"This club is great for art students who want to step out of their
shell, show their work and get feedback. It also gives the average student a
creative space to express themselves," said Heurta.
Last semester, two Arts Association members, Kevin* Cruz and
Brittany Galante, won a student contest in which they were selected to
paint the mural on the storage sheds located near the basketball courts at
The Clarke Field House.
"Through events we do, you are able to network with people who
are in thefieldyou're interested in," stated Lauren Reynoso, Arts Association President.
Although the club executives haven't met yet to discuss this
semester's calendar, Reynoso would like to collaborate with SDSU and
UCSD in the future, who both have student art organizations,
and create a San Diego Art Association.
Meetings are held bi-weekly on Thursdays at noon in ART 342.
Students can join by emailing Marilyn Huerta at mhuerta@csusm.edu,
Prowlin' the Kitchen
Lauren Reynoso at reyno46@cougars.csusm.edu or by showing up at a
meeting. The Arts Association is currently looking tofillthe secretary and
creative director position.
The Arts Association will be participating in the "Leave Your
Mark" events held on September 21, in the Library Plaza from 11:00 a.m.
to 1:30 p.m.
"If there's a student who has an idea to do something, bring it to
the table and we'll try and make
it happen," said Huerta.

�the truth about raves
BY CANDICE WYATT
ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR
The rave movement has turned what were once underground
dance parties into nationalized events involving tens of thousands of
attendees. The recent Electronic Daisy Carnival (EDC) held at the LA
Coliseum on June 25 and 26,2010, attracted over 135,000 attendees, making it the largest rave in North America. Unfortunately, a 15-year old girl
overdosed on ecstacy and within days headlines filled Southern California
newspapers and the LA Coliseum put a temporary ban on raves at the
venue.
The reputable venue EDC was held at and the 18 and over age
requirement did not prevent this fatality.
"Drug use can have risks but that doesn t make raves unsafe, it
makes drug use potentially unsafe," said Nathan Messer, President of
DanceSafe, a non-profit harm reduction organization.
DanceSafe has addressed the rising concern that drug use is a
dangerous and prevalent occurrence in the rave scene. The organizations
Web site, www.dancesafe.org, uses education and awareness as the key to
making raves a safer environment. The site has drug information,
health and safety tips, as well as drug screening test kits that can take a
small amount of an ecstasy pill and test it for other potentially dangerous
additives.
"We neither condone nor condemn drug use. Rather, we believe
that each person should make their own choices, and that people DO
make better choices when given pointers to good information," stated
Messer.
A few unfortunate events have given raves a poor reputation for
being a drug-centric, unsafe environment and has lead police, legislatures
and local communities to fight against the new culture of electronic dance
music.
The Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), a subdivision of the U.S. Department of Justice, released "Rave Parties: A ProblemOriented Guide for Police," in 2002.
"The use of rave-related drugs has not been strongly linked to
other crimes and unlike other youth events or other types of concerts,
raves do not typically involve much assault," stated Michael S. Scott, a
former chief of police and author of the COPS "Rave Parties" guide.
"Rave culture discourages sexual aggressiveness, and while some
drugs do lower sexual inhibitions, they also can inhibit sexual performance. So in some respects, raves are safer places for young people, especially women, than conventional bars and clubs," stated Scott.
The acronym that the rave culture lives by is PLUR (Peace, Love,
Unity, Respect). Responsibility was added to the mantra in the late 1990s
to increase awareness of drug overdoses
at raves.
A junior at CSUSM majoring in Literature and Writing, who
chose to be referred to by her given rave name, Raggedy Ann, has attended five raves.
"I like the music at raves. Its like every time I go to the club they
play crappy rap music that I don t want to dance to. People [at raves] are
all really nice and just want to dance," said Ann.
"I don t feel like the amount of security or police affects the quality
of a rave. They are there to make sure there are no fights and to just have a
presence."
For first time ravers, expect a high entrance fee. Raves are often
accompanied by extravagant light shows and various DJs. The music is
loud, so bringing a pair of earplugs along will protect your hearing.
"Ravers should be advised to wear loose-fitting clothing, drink
plenty of water if they are sweating, and take breaks from dancing to rest
and cool off. Rave-related drug users should also eat salty foods to prevent
hyponatraemia," stated Scott.
In addition, you should also be able to spot warning signs to a
potentially dangerous rave environment.
"If it is so overcrowded that it is impossible to get to exits easily, if
fire doors are locked or blocked, if security isn't searching for weapons, if
cold water is shut off in the restrooms, if bottled water is sold without the
caps so you can t refill it and carry it with you, all of these are bad signs.
Also, some sorts of medical staff should be present for any event with
more than about 500 people," stated Messer.
The upcoming Abstract Festival will be held on September 11,
2010, at the San Diego Sports Arena from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. There will be
two stages and you must be 18 to attend. A full bar will be available for
those who are 21 and over. Tickets can be purchased on abstractfest.com
and prices range from $40 to $90.

J —^University Board df
Trustees approved a two-step
tuition increase for the Cal State
system. According to a press release by csu.edu, the increase
will sustain enrollment, classes,
and services for current students.
The first tuition increase will
go into effect on Jan. 1, 2011 as
a five percent addition of $105.
A 10 percent increase, $444,
will become effective for fall
2011, according to the CSU.
The addition to already inflated tuition and student fees
have many students wondering
where their money goes. " I'd
want to see more improvements
made to c ampus" said Rachel
Hernandez, a senior majoring
in Kinesiology. "It's rough for
students paying out of their own
pockets, but as tuition increases,
financial aid increases, too."
Students who have been in the
CSU system for several years,
like Monica Rodriguez, a M.A.
student in Literature and Writing, who also received her B.A.
from CSUSM, have experienced the brunt of many fee increases in the last few years. "I
feel angry considering the CSU
system started out free, and its
purpose was to bring higher education to people who couldn't
afford college," Rodriguez said.
Dr. Don Barrett, associate
professor of Sociology, is the
president of the CSUSM chapter
of the California Faculty Association. The Pride approached him
for a comment regarding the CSU
fee increases, and he prepared a
statement on behalf of the CFA.
"In general, CFA has opposed
the fee increases for many of the
same reasons that various student
groups oppose thè fee increases.
We are concerned about the increased debt faced by many students for attending college, the
very high likelihood that higher
fees will discourage some students from getting -the education
that would benefit them, and that
fee increases will further reduce
access to education for students
from social groups that have his- •
torically been under-represented
in education. While the CSU system has been very good at reserving a portion of the fee increases
to address exactly these sorts of
concerns, the fee increases do
become a hard fact of life for a
large portion of students. Given
the current state of the economy,
this is not a good time to be
saddling students with significantly higher educational debt.
"On a broader level, we are
concerned that the fee increases
reflect the state legislature's continued inability to find a way to
adequately support higher education. It is this broader concern
that motivates much of CFA's
legislative actions, including our
efforts to encourage students to
contact their legislatures about
education costs. A related question that comes up with such
fee increases is whether the
CSU administration might, itself, find other means to save
money (e.g., reducing administrative costs) that would reduce

the size of the increases needed.
Along these same lines, CFA has
regularly supported a bill to increase transparency in accounting for the funding of university auxiliaries, but the governor
has now twice vetoed that bill.
"Whether the fee increases
are going to come down to the
individual campuses and result
in an increased number of [class]
sections is something that the administration will decide. Logically, however, it is important
to note that the fee increases do
not necessarily mean an increase
in overall budget for the CSU.
Though the legislature, this year,
returned some of CSU's budget
to levels that were higher than
last year, the state has a new budget crisis as of [last] week. If this
new crisis results in less money
from the state for the CSU than
was promised, then the fee increase is going to have to make
up for some of that deficit. Clearly, the answer to keep us from
having additional needs for fee
increases in the future is political pressure on the legislature."

few technical difficulties started
before the event could proceed.
The
contestants
were
judged
on
three
rounds.
Round one consisted of introducing the contestants and their
Alpha Chi coaches. Enrique Iglesias's song " I Like I t" played during Mr. Italy's (Brandon Barnes)
intro. Some of the .highlights of
the introduction round were Mr.
U.S.A's (Garrett Yack) introduction with Miley Cyrus's "Party in
the U.S.A.," Mr. Ireland's (Nick
Bowser) j ig and Mr. A frica's
(Ashton Harvey) backdrop photo.
During round two of the
competition, the contestants presented themselves in their best
"formal wear." Alpha Chi emcees asked the participants numerous questions and the boys
were graded on their responses.
Cameron Mclaws (Mr. Scotland)
was asked what he would do if
he won the lottery. He answered,
" I would give most of the money to my parents, since they are
great supporters of mine and
travel with the rest." Justin Mon-
tes (Mr. Jamaica) was asked to
use three adjectives to describe
himself to which he responded,
"Short, dark and handsome."
Mr. Australia (Ken Lalonde)
presented himself in his military attire and responded to the
question, "What is the biggest
goal you have accomplished?"
Round three displayed each
person's talent. The contestants
proved to be stiff competition
to each other. Each talent was
a mixture of funny and sweet.
Many of the talents consisted
of dancing and singing. Daniel
Mason (Mr. Iceland) replicated
Napoleon Dynamite's "Vote f or
Pedro" dance, Yack danced to
Vanilla I ce's, "Ice Ice Baby,"
Harvey brought back 90s memories with C isqo's, "Thong Song"
and Paolo Leveratto (Mr. Mexico) sang along with Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have
Fun." Brian Buttacavoli (Mr.
Brazil) presented a self-penned
song and piano composition to
the Alpha Chi girls. Buttacovoli
dedicated the song to his mom.
While the judges deliber-
ated on the winner, the Alpha
Chi women raffled away gift
baskets including a CSUSM
g ift basket, San Diego Chargers
and Padres g ift baskets and a
holiday g ift basket donated by
the sorority Alpha Xi Delta.
Leveratto
(Mr.
Mexico)
placed as contestant with most
supporters. Harvey (Mr. Africa) came in third place, while
Bowser (Mr. Ireland) placed second. The big winner of the night
ended u p being the contestant
who "joined a week before the
competition," Brian Buttacavoli
(Mr. Brazil). Mr. Alpha Chi 2009
crowned Buttacavoli "Mr. Alpha
Chi 2010." Buttacavoli said it
felt "Absolutely, phenomenally
amazing" to be crowned Mr.
Alpha Chi 2010. He hopes to be
"the best representation f or Alpha Chi Omega that he can be."

BETTER LIVING SANS ADVERTISEMENTS
BY JIMMY PIRAINO •
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
I c an't speak f or the community at large, but I , f or one, am
sick and tired of commercials.
But I o ften find myself in a bit
of a pickle. While I may hold
a deep-seated hatred f or commercials, I have an even more
p owerful love of television.
For instance, take The Office.
I have been a loyal f an since its
inception. But I find it hard to j ustify allocating half an hour of my
night to watch a 20-minute show
with 10 minutes of commercials.
So herein lies the dilemma:
H ow can I watch my favorite shows without having to sit
through all the advertisements?
Luckily, we all live in a society
f ull of technology that can help us
avoid the over-saturation of commercials in our popular media. I
feel it would be prudent to state at
this point I will only be examining
the legal ways to get around commercials, though I still acknowledge that there are alternative
methods to access these shows
f ree of advertising that are not
strictly legal. You will j ust have
to discover those on your own.
The first method I would highly suggest trying out is a digital
video recorder (DVR), or Tivo
device that is becoming standard
equipment included in cable television packages. Not only does
this f ree up time, but gives you
complete freedom over when you
view the show. But do not underestimate the power of your Tivo!

¡PHONE APPS FOR BUSY STUDENTS
TAKING A LOOK AT FIVE O F THE MOST USEFUL APPS FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS
BY CHRIS GIANCAMILLI
P RIDE STAFF WRITER
As the iPhone's popularity
continues to grow, so does the
need f or apps that serve a wider
variety of users. With a wealth of
apps and f unctions, the iPhone's
r ole in the student l ife has become an extension of the laptop f or some and a mere device
to text friends f or others. While
making the most of the device's
social capabilities is important,
the iPhone o ffers so many apps
that the most u seful ones f or
students o ften get overlooked.
The price of these apps ranges
f rom f ree to a round$10. Although
most professors w on't allow the
use of phones in class, these apps
can be u seful outside the classroom to further enhance a student's learning habits or change
and email a text document when
a laptop has been left at home.
H ere's a list of the most useful apps f or students on campus.
Evernote- Find yourself needing an easier way to organize,
short memos? Evernote is a
popular app that allows the user
to make a quick text note, attach a web page, record a voice
memo, take a photo, or take a
screenshot. The app gives you the
ability to add a tag to the note,
making the selection easy to find
when searched for. Price: Free
JotNot Scanner Pro- The
dream of scanning papers and
keeping them in your pocket is
now a reality with JotNot. This
app detects the size and lighting of papers to maximize its
visibility f or later viewing. If
you ever wanted to copy a page
out of a library book without
checking it out, JotNot makes
it faster than ever. Price: $0.99
iStudiez Pro- Managing dead-
lines and class schedules can be
a difficult task f or any student.
This app takes charge of the hectic student life and organizes it
into an easy to navigate calendar
and planner. From labs to study
groups, iStudiez Pro keeps your
assignments and school schedule neat and tidy. Price: $2.99
AirSharing- One of the biggest
concerns on presentation day is
losing the tiny USB device carrying all your information. AirSharing fixes that by turning your
iPhone into a document storage
device, allowing you to take your
files where ever you go without
the need f or keeping track of another USB drive. Price: $2.99
Quickoffice Connect Mobile
Suite- Although i t's the most
expensive on the list, Quickoffice Connect Mobile Suite is
one of the most u seful apps f or
students. Forget about lugging
around the laptop, this app gives
you the option of opening, creating, and making revisions to Microsoft Office documents using a
number of file extensions. Once
y ou're finished, y ou're given
the option of sending the document out as an email. Price: $9.99

Annual event on campus to help students quit smoking
BY SUZANNE BERGSTEN
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Student Health and Counseling Services is hosting an event
on campus at Kellog Library Plaza on Thursday, Nov. 18, from 11
a.m. to 1:30 p.m. to celebrate the
American Cancer Society's 35th
Annual Great American Smokeout. The Smokeout is a nationwide
event for smokers that aims to inform and encourage people to stop
smoking and live a healthier life.
There are many Great American Smokeout events held
throughout California. CSUSM is
one of many Californian universities to host an event and CSUSM
is also one of many smoke-free
universities, where smoking
is limited to designated areas.
With more than 12 million
deaths since 1974 and an estimated 400,000 deaths a year, tobacco use is the largest preventable
cause of death in the country. According to The American Cancer
Society, 30 percent of all cancer
deaths are related to smoking.
Their statistics also claim that
3,400 nonsmokers die each year
f rom being exposed to smoke,
known as secondhand smoking.
The Great American Smokeout became a nationwide event
in 1977 and has since brought
forward many tobacco related issues and helped start a revolution
against tobacco and smoking. The
annual event started in 1971 when
Arthur P. Mullaney suggested
people stop smoking for one day
and give the money they would
have spent on cigarettes to a high
school fund. The second event f uelling the development of today's
Great American Smokeout was in
1974 when Lynn R. Smith started
the first "Don't Smoke Day" in
Minnesota. Today, smoking is
banned in many public places,
and there is raised awareness of
how harmful smoking can be.
Anti-tobacco
organizations
and individuals have helped the
fight against tobacco use in many
ways. One of the latest big changes in the market is the Family
Smoking Prevention and Tobacco
Control Act, which was signed
into law in 2009. That gave the
FDA regulatory control over
the tobacco industry's marketing practices, in hopes of keeping tobacco related products and
commercials away from children.
To participate in the event on
campus, all you need is a commitment to quit or to give up
smoking for a day. If you are a
nonsmoker, you can sign up to
be a grassroots advocate and help
create a smoke-free environment
and smoke-free communities.
Gabriel Pena, a student at
CSUSM, said of the Smokeout,
"I have never heard of the event
before, but I think it sounds
cool that they help people quit
smoking. It is so bad for you."
If you are ready for the challenge to put out your last cigarette, the American Cancer
Society has self-help guides
and support for those wanting to quit on their website.
If you are not there yet and not
totally ready, the event supports
smokers to at least think about
the consequences and try to not
smoke for the day the event is held.

FOR THOSE WHO JUST DON'T KNOW
PHOTO COURTESY OF PHOTOBLOG.STATESMAN.COM
BY TORIA BODDEN
FEATURES EDITOR
Here at C SUSM, we have no
football team. Y ou've probably
noticed. T here's no doubt that we
have some great sports teams dedicated soccer players, neversay-"die" track and field people,
even a champion surf team. We
j ust d on't happen to have an organized football department.
But woe unto you if you think
that means there's no football on
campus. The yearly CSUSM Intramural Football Championships
j ust barely came to a conclusion. There was m ud. There was
glory. At, least a couple people
got kicked in the shins. All in
all, that's a great sporting event.
But what about football f or
people who are n ot, shall we
say, football-inclined? I admit,
when I watch the commentators on TV do all those " X"s and
" 0"s to explain strategy, it looks
to me like Salvador Dali playing
tic-tac-toe. How do you follow
the game when all you see are
people running back and forth
and occasionally hitting each
other? Good news. What follows
is a guide to football f or people
who d on't understand fdbtball.
Teams are on a field. I 'll save
you the in-depth description of
this since I 'm sure y ou've seen
one in person or in the movies.
The field is divided into five-yard
sections by lines. Those big numbers you see indicate how close
said line is to the goal post on
each end. On one side, we have
the o ffense. You can tell who
they are because one of them has
the ball. The guy who throws the
ball is the quarterback. The football position naming folks were
big fans of the word "back":
quarterbacks, halfbacks, fullbacks, etc. In f act, it would appear t hey're big fans of fractions
as well. Anyway, let's not get
too caught up in the names. The
main point: a center throws the
ball between his legs backwards
to the quarterback. I 'm not making this up. The quarterback then
throws the ball to a halfback or a
wide receiver. Maybe some other
players, too. Honestly, it could
be anybody. I c an't really tell,
and I 'm writing f rom personal
observation and Google. Hopefully, the "somebody" is on the
quarterback's team. If h e's not,
i t's called an interception, meaning someone f rom the other side
intercepted the ball. You can tell
when an interception happens, because there will usually be a lot of
angry people on and off the field,
and the coach of the offense team
will appear to be cussing. He may
appear to be cussing quite a i nt.

Opposite the offense, you have
the defense. You can tell when
t hey're playing because usually
two members of the crowd will
hold up a letter " D" and a cardboard f ence. I 'm not making
this u p, either. Also, the defense
is easy to spot since they d on't
have the ball, and they d on't look
too happy about it. Everyone on this side is trying
to stop the offense f rom
moving the ball towards
the defense's goal post.
One could even say t hey're
defending it, har har har.
This can involve several
types of shenanigans, including knocking over the
guy who catches the ball,
knocking over the guy who
throws the ball, and trying
to keep guys f rom catching the ball by entrapping
them in bear hugs. Football
seems to me a pretty loving sport, all in all, with
the amount of hugging.
So what's the point?
mm
With the hugging and
knocking down, or "tack-
1
wmEBBm
ling" f or terminology f undamentalists, and running around?
Players are trying to score. Which
could be said of any sleazy club
on a Saturday night, but in this
case, the offense is trying to run
with the ball to the end of the field
the defense is trying to protect.
When thev reach this end, thev
have made a touchdown. They
will then throw the ball down,
which seems kind of rude since
some poor schmuck will have to
pick it u p, and then they dance
around. I think the game could be
spiced up by randomly dancing
on other parts of the field, but so
far, no team has taken my suggestion. A fter the touchdown, they
can score another few points by
either running the ball through the
touchdown area again, or kicking it through the goal post (the
thing that looks like a square-ish
Y at the end of the field). I guess
this part is so that the kicker on
the team will have something to
contribute to the scoring system,
instead of feeling unimportant
and developing low self-esteem.
I should probably include a
short note about a complex concept I h aven't mentioned yet. If
you ever find yourself stuck with
a football f an, and you have nothing to talk about, j ust mention special teams. I found myself once
on a date with a gentleman who
loved football. Conversation died
out, so I iust said. "How about
the Chargers' special teams, e h?"
I d idn't have to say a thing f or
the rest of the evening . Jn fact, if
you ever want to please a football
f an in your l ife, just give them a
piece of paper that says " ONE
FREE COUPON FOR LETTING
YOU TALK ABOUT SPECIAL
T EAMS." Depending on the
man or lady, this may even b e
better than an engagement ring.
So t hat's it. Sure, there are tons
of subtle nuances, and there may
be a lot of people who d on't agree
with me about the hugging part.
But this should be enough to help
you follow a game if you suddenly look u p and find yourself in
the middle of a football stadium.

CSUSM UNVEILS NEW MEN'S LACROSSE TEAM
BY MICHAEL RAWSON
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Think basketball and volleyball are the only new sports
on campus? Think again.
The newest team is M en's
Lacrosse, and even though i t's
only a club, it plans to be as competitive as our NAIA-sanctioned
sports. Yes, lacrosse is more
popular on the east coast, but
hey, so are popped collars. Just
d on't try telling club President
Chase Allvord people in North
County d on't care about the sport.
"West coast lacrosse is growing at an incredible rate, and Cal
State San Marcos lacrosse will be
a strong contributor to the quality
of the game at the college level f or
years to come," he said in an email.
M en's Lacrosse joins a diverse
group of already established club
sports on campus, including soccer and surfing. Yes, there is a
soccer team and a soccer club.
Club sports borrow elements
f rom both official sports teams
and intramural sports. Like intra-
murals, they are non-sanctioned
and student-organized. Like sanctioned sports, they hold tryouts,
practice, play games against other
schools, and usually even belong
to an organized league, which f or
the lacrosse club is the Southwestern Lacrosse Conference.
Lacrosse became an official club in September, but according to Allvord, "the wheels
started turning as f ar as getting
everything together back in April.
Tryouts f or the team were
held between Sept 1 4 - 1 8 , and
Allvord said they were wildly
successful. "We had 22 guys
come out. It was great to see the
enthusiasm everyone had f or lacrosse. We are going to have another week of tryouts following
the start of the spring semester.
"There were a lot of guys who
did not know about the team in

SEIDENGLANZ SENDS CSUSM MEN'S SOCCER INTO A.I.I. SEMIFINALS
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
CSUSM M en's Soccer came
within inches of its 2010 season
coming to an end on Tuesday, but
the resilient Cougars battled b ack,
defeating Thomas University (GA)
3-2 in overtime to advance to the
AJJL
Tournament
Semifinals.
Fifth-seeded
C SUSM
improves to 12-3-2 on the season.
Fourth-seeded
T homas's
season ends with a 9 -6-3 record.
Whether it was the long bus ride
to Arizona or the t eam's general
youth and inexperience, CSUSM
did not come out playing their best
soccer on Tuesday. T he Cougars
conceded a goal in the second minute, getting into an early 1 -0 hole.
CSUSM
would
equalize
about h alfway through the first
half, as Jake Kaiser corner f ound
Erik Mueller, who converted
the opportunity to make it 1 -1.
The Cougars would take their
first lead in the second h alf,
thanks to one of Alex Rodriguez's
trademark throw-ins. H e's created numerous dangerous chances
throughout the season with his long
throw-ins f rom deep in opponents'
territory, and struck again, as his
throw-in was inadvertently headed
into the net by a Thomas player.
That 2-1 score held f or most of
the second h alf, but Thomas equalized with seven minutes l eft to play,
sending the contest into overtime.
A minute and a half into overtime, a Thomas player found himself alone in the box with a near
sure-thing chance to end the Cougars' season. However, he drove
his shot into the bottom of the
crossbar, and it bounced on the
goal line before being cleared o ff.
Finally, CSUSM captain Bradley
Seidenglanz would take matters into
his own hands and end the game. In
the 107th minute, Seidenglanz received the ball on the right side of the
b ox, dribbled across the top of the box,
and drove a left-footed shot past the
very strong Thomas goalkeeper and
into the back of the net, giving Coach
Ron Pulvers' squad the 3-2 win and
advancing them to the semifinals.
"We were not the better team today,
but our guys willed their way to win,"
noted Pulvers following the match.

�HOT OFF THE REEL
A REVIEW OF THE REMARKABLE TRUE STORY TURNED MOVIE " 1 2 7 HOURS"
BY MILA PANTOVICH
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
"127 Hours" is a triumph of
modern filmmaking, effortlessly
displaying the endless pit of talent within director Danny Boyle
and actor James Franco. Telling the remarkably true story
of Aron Ralston, Boyle blends
heartbreaking fantasy with an
excruciatingly painful reality in a
film that has visual and emotional
resonance. Pulsating with energy,
"127 Hours" traps you beneath a
boulder and keeps you there in
the sweetest of agony as you feel
the crushing weight of desperation and the sharp sting of hope.
Danny Boyle ("Trainspot-
ting," "28 Days Later," and Academy Award winning "Slumdog
Millionaire") and Simon Beaufoy adapted Aron Ralston's autobiography, "Between a Rock
and a Hard Place," bringing
Ralston's amazing experience to
the big screen. Ralston was made
a household name when, while
hiking alone in 2003, he found
his arm trapped beneath a large
boulder, forcing him to amputate
his own forearm with a short,
dull blade. "127 Hours" beautifully brings those long excruciating days Ralston spent trapped,
with limited food and water,
to audiences around the world
as the ultimate survival story.
The way Boyle makes use of
the human senses will linger with
you long after the movie has ended, showcasing his unarguable
talent. Danny Boyle is proof that
long-lasting filmmaking, which
will inspire for decades, is possible within the Hollywood bubble. By the time the film ends you
will feel like you survived with
Ralston and that, together, you
both just accomplished something
no one else in the world ever has.
With your chest constricted from
a feeling you have no name for,
Aron Ralston's story will bury
its way into your mind, acting
as a constant reminder of human
potential and the overwhelming
beauty of the world around us.

Hellogoodbye- Would It Kill
You?- Rocket Science/Wasted
Summer
Forrest Kline is like a phoenix rose out of its ashes. Kline,
the singer and founder of Hellogoodbye, dealt with numerous
lineup changes and stands as the
remaining original member of the
band. After a lawsuit against their
previous record company, Drive
Thru records, and a few more
lineup changes, Hellogoodbye is
ready to start fresh with their second full-length album, Would It
Kill You? The first single off the
album is titled "Getting Old," but
it does not stay true to its name.
The song is as infectious as the
band's 2006 chart topper "Here

Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs!.
The new album is sure to propel the band to the charts again.

"n a college student's life,
convenience is important.
I .A credit card makes life
a bit easier. With one swipe, the
bank electronically sends your
money to pay for what you need
or want.
Collegeboard (www.collegboard.com/) and the Federal
Trade Commission give some
tips to students about what to
do before signing up for a credit
card. The truth about a credit
card is that you, the spender, are
using money that they, the credit
card companies, are just loaning you money. It is a common
fact that some users forget. The
credit card has a preset limit on
how much one can spend, but
it brings severe consequences
if payments are not met. Depending on the card, there is a
minimum amount allowed as the
monthly payment. The problem
is that if you only pay the minimum, you need to send rest of
the payment in next month's bill
plus what you owe from that bill.
In the case that a user misses a
payment, the bank or credit card
company adds a harsh fine to the
bill. Sometimes thefineprint of
the contract hides unwanted fees.
In the end, it becomes a snowball of debt. Gloria Diaz, a third
year Anthropology and Women's
Studies double major, gave her
thought on the usage of credit
cards. "We are just getting into

there are solutions to preparing for

arrive at school bundled up (especially recommended to those early
risers), then layer down as the day
wears on. Now along with books,
you can lug around that large coat

am glad that it does not occur here.
One can only imagine the unprepared mayhem that would bring.
Many say that the four seasons

I really cannot disagree with that
statement. Often, it feels as though
the weather here is either hot or cold.
The hot days usually seem to
dominate the cold, and it would
not be surprising to find flip-flops
and sunny day beach shirts in the
wardrobes of San Diegans. Some
days we receive a much needed,
sympathy-driven cold spell, with
strong winds and the occasional
random rain clouds (that always
seems to follow you wherever
you go). What residents of Southern California are used to, but are
never quite prepared for, are the
unpredictable weather patterns.

Faculty visit to study variety of educational topics in C uba
"Busquedas investigativas"
BY TORIA BODDEN
FEATURES EDITOR
In late October, three faculty
members from CSUSM had a
unique opportunity to visit Cuba
and pursue academic research
with the help of Cuban educators.
The trip was organized by
Sheryl Lutjens, director of the
Women's Studies program, who
has academic ties to Cuba going
back over 30 years. She made her
first journey to Cuba in 1979 - a
two-week trip to study Cuban
health programs. Since then, she
has organized 14 trips to Cuba,
the largest for a group of over 50
participants. The last three have
been organized specifically as
research trips, since conferences
are not allowed by US regulations
banning travel to Cuba. The trip
in October was entitled "Busquedas Investigativas: Exploring
Cuban Educational Practices."
In this case, Lutjens gathered
17 educators from around the US.
Each submitted an in-depth research plan, as well as their curriculum vitae, in order to be approved for a travel visa to Cuba.
While the trip focused on education, each participant had his or
her own more specific area of interest. Dawn Formo, the associate
dean of instruction and academic
programs for the College of Arts
and Sciences, went to study literacy in Cuba. "Literacy rate in
Cuba is amazing - nearly 100%. I
went knowing what their literacy
rate [was] and within a year of the
revolution, they had eradicated illiteracy. We had an opportunity to
visit several kinds of campuses...
to see what's happening in the
pre-schools up to the universities, so I was just very interested
in what they are doing, because
this is amazing. I mean, how"
many countries can say this?"
Jodie Lawston, an assistant
professor in sociology, was focused on a completely different
topic, studying the effect of edu-
PHOTO COURTESY OF WIKIMEDIA.ORG
cation on incarceration rates. "As
you see, every year, there's a 'get
tough on crime' emphasis and
less funding [for] education in the
US," she said. "[I wondered] what
criminal justice would look like in
a society with high funding for education, whether they focus on rehabilitations versus punishment."
The group spent roughly a
week in Cuba, visiting Havana
and various locations in the Villa
Clara Province and touring various sites covering everything
from pre-school education to
Afrocuban studies to a special
school for blind and deaf children. Certain days were dedicated specifically to working
with Cuban educational partners on their research topics.
According to the trip participants, some of the most interesting cultural exchanges happened
outside the educational setting. "I
didn't know what to expect, but
the people we met were the most
gracious I've met. Kind, and gen-
erous... in every way," Formo
said. "I mean, to experience a
culture that has made it clear in
so many ways that there are two
main priorities, healthcare and
education. To feel what it is to
walk the streets in a culture where
those are the two priorities, and
with limited resources, you can't
do everything. You make sacrifices... People are not starving, but
there wasn't a lot. I mean, nobody
wastes. They know how to make
thoughtful, careful use of their resources. That was kind of 'wow.'"
Lawston also feels that her
viewpoint has been heavily influenced by the experience. "Since
I've gotten back, I'll tell you
that not a day that goes by that I
haven't thought about Cuba. One
of those most influential trips that
I've had," she said. "I didn't expect that to happen." She was also
surprised by something unexpectedly missing in Cuba. "I keep
telling all my students this, there
were no advertisements... There
weren't scantily clad women in
everything. All billboards were
political or educational. It really
brought it into light when we landed in Cancun, and the first billboard I saw was [for] Hooters."
Lutjens said she is already
planning another trip - her fifteenth, based on interest from colleagues who couldn't make it this
time. "We may make the gathering a biannual event, rather than
an annual one," she said. "Many
people who went this year or in
past years are interested in returning to continue their research."
She does state that undergraduate
students cannot attend, though it
may be possible for graduate students if they get special permission from the US government.
That may not always be the
case, though. "I also went to begin conversations about establishing faculty and student exchanges," Dean Formo said, "so that
Cal State faculty and students, if
interested, could study in Cuba."

On Nov. 18, Steven Greene
represented CSUSM at the Red
Dull Barmaster Cunipctitiun held
at Beachwood in Pacific Beach.
The Red Bull Barmaster Competition is a collegiate battle between CSUSM, SDSU, USD and
UCSD where college students are
chosen to represent their university and compete at bartending.
Before the competition, Steven Greene cheerfully said he
only had two aims: "To make
sure everyone has a great time,"
and, "to win the Red Bull Barmaster title for CSUSM."
Greene did his best to take
home the title for CSUSM but
came second to Ryan Neville
from SDSU. Greene did have a
large fan club cheering him on
through the night. The CSUSM
crowd had green bracelets representing our university and
many were dressed in t-shirts
with Greene's face on them.
Greene and'his friends, in particular, liatf
matching m ustaches.
The competing barmasters
served Red Bull-vodka cocktails to the many college students at the local pub where the
competition was held. Most of
the crowd was there to cheer for
their university, and booze flowed
through out the night until the
competition ended at midnight.

Sam Zien, better known as "Sam the
Cooking Guy," came to San Diego on Nov.
16 and spoke at the Jewish Community Center. The talk covered his life, his background,
his experience being on television, and how
he reached his current level of success.
At first, he was very unsure of his life
path. "I never knew what I wanted to
do," Zien said. As a result, he followed
in the footsteps of his older brother,
picked the same major, and went to the

just start off with something easy, adopting
the motto, "If I can make it, everyone can
make it." Zien wanted to cook things that
other people would also be able to learn
quickly and cook themselves. Soon after
getting the idea, he made a demo tape and
sent it out to five experts in the business.
"Not one liked it," he said. As a result, he
sent it to local San Diego stations, and finally his demo landed in the right hands. The
show first started off as a segment a few
minutes long that was played twice a week.
Eventually, it grew into a half hour episode.
Since then, Zien has experienced an incredibly high level of success with the format. He's won 12 Emmys, produced three
books, and his show has become a national
series on Discovery's Health channel.

With all the classes, studying,
and tests, the fall semester seems
to just haveflownby and it's now
officially Thanksgiving break.
While we are just around the corner from our much-needed Winter Break, the Thanksgiving holiday is a relaxing breather right
beforefinalsweek. Thanksgiving
is a time to spend with family
and close friends. It is also a time
where we should recognize all
that we have in our lives. However, as poor college students, it can
be difficult toflyback and forth to
see family for the holidays. That
doesn't mean that those who are
here for Thanksgiving can't enjoy in all the holiday's festivities.
On the day of Thanksgiving, Nov. 25, there will be two
separate run/walk events. The
Everything from charity events to
yumpkinyie feasts for students
annual Run for the Hungry event
is held in downtown San Diego at Petco Park East. You can
choose to participate in a 10K
run, which begins at 7:10 a jn.,
or a 5K run/walk, which beings
at 8:15 a.m. The organizations
that will benefit from this race
are the San Diego Food Bank,
Foodmobile, and Jewish Family
Services. These nonprofit organizations are dedicated to helping
anyone who cannot afford food.
The event will also collect food
that these organizations can distribute on Thanksgiving. If you
can't personally make a donation,
there are other ways you can contribute. You can volunteer at the
event, which may include tasks
such as setting up tables with
food for the runners and walkers
pnee the race is over, or serving
them water throughout the run/
walk. The second option is to ask
friends or neighbors if they would
be willing to donate canned food
for the event. If you are interested
in participating in the actual race,
you need to sign up ahead of
time. To find more information,
you can visit the site at www.
kathylopere vents .com/hungry/ .
In Oceanside, Pacific Marine
Credit Union will be celebrating
their fifth annual O'side Turkey
Trot on Thanksgiving Day, an
event that benefits the Oceanside schools, the Move Your Feet
Before You Eat! Foundation, and
the Virginia Ann Scheunemann
Memorial Fund. The Turkey Trot
has several events, including a
five mile run/walk, as well as an
open 5K run/walk and a "locals
only" 5K run/walk, as well as
kids' events. The event has raised
over $46,000 in the last three
years and continues to honor
their commitment to fundraising
again this year. Whether you wish
to participate or just to check it
out, you can find more information on www.osideturkeytrot.com
But what if you find yourself
unable to leave campus? Start
the week's festivities early. The
American Language and Culture
Institute (ALCI) will be hosting a Thanksgiving Pumpkin
Pie Feast on Tuesday, Nov. 23,
from 2:30. - 3:45 p.m. in Commons 206. The University Village Apartments (UVA) will also
be hosting a Thanksgiving lunch.
Dishes such as turkey, ham, and
rice will be served for all in the
UVA lobby. The UVA lobby will
also have a "What are you thankful for?'' board. Students can take
a post-it note, and write down
what they feel they are thankful
for and residents can see what
others have shared. If you are the

Thanksgiving holiday, make sure
you drop by the Farmer's Market
that will be open the day before
Thanksgiving. It's a good way
to bypass crowds at the market
while still getting all your favorite fall foods and goodies. Go
with friends and plan a dinner
with the fresh locally grown produce you buy. It's right here on
campus in parking lot B, from 1
p.m. - 6 p.m. Either way, get creative, whether you are a student
from abroad or an American who
just can't get home for the break,
Thanksgiving can still be a great
time of year for college students.

By finishing in the top-30
overall (including individuals), CSUSM's top-three runners earned All-American status.
Leading the way was Cady
Villarreal. An Ail-American last
season, the junior had not finished first on the team in any race
this season. That changed at Nationals, with Villarreal running
18:18 to place 8th in the field.
Second on the team was
Kelly Thompson who placed
15th at 18:30. Thompson, a
sophomore who led CSUSM to
a win at its Conference Championship earlier this month, has
proven time and again that she
will come through at big meets,
and she did so on Saturday.
In 2009, Thompson was the
wild card that keyed CSUSM's
national championship. In 2010,
that honor belongs to Carol

While Schryver was expected to
be in the team's top-five runners,
for hei* to finish third on the team
and in the overall top-20 was a
huge boost to Coach Scott's team.
Fourth was reliable Jessica Sandoval, who has been
the team's most consistent runner throughout the season. Sandoval finished 19th at 18:36.
Finally,
newcomer
Suzanne Cornwall sealed thé victory for the Cougars. Coming to CSUSM all the way
from Maryland, Cornwell took
29th in the field, and when she
crossed the finish line at 18:47,
the team victory was secured.
Also competing for the Cougars
were Jen Albright (79th; 19:26)
and Chelsey Cortez (84th; 19:29).
"In professional sports, the
hardest thing to do is repeat. The
next hardest thing is to be ranked
first and win," commented Coach
Scott. ' The girls overcame a lot,
and lived up to all the expectations. I can't be prouder of them."

"I'm Still Here" (NR)
In Casey Affleck's directorial debut comes a questionably strange
documentary about Oscar-nominated actor Joaquin Phoenix. The
film tracks Phoenix in 2008 when he announced his retirement from
acting to pursue a career in hip-hop, rapping under the name JP.
Portrayed as an odd combination of absurd comedy and a distressing
victim, you may not be able to trust the film's supposed reliability,
but you will certainly be fascinated by the strange ride that Affleck
and Phoenix take you on.

in India, and love in Bhli. Thefilmcostars Billy Crudup, James

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART 1
BY MILA PANTOVICH
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
"Harry Potter and the Deathly
Hallows, Part 1" is well-paced
and will keep you mostly interested and engaged for the 146
minutes of its entirety. Maybe
the reason why it is so engaging
is because the entire film functions as a great big tease. You
wait over two hours for a payoff, enjoying the ride that teasing generally brings, but are ultimately cut short by the credits,
receiving no relief. You also may
want to refresh your memory on
what happened in the last couple
films but once you remember,
the movie continues on a straight
path, leading up to the film's
end that will having you sighing
over the eight month wait for the
climax promised in the final installment, released in July in 3D.
Without Hogwarts to protect
him, Harry (Daniel Radcliffe),
with the help from Hermione
(Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint), is on the run from the
various bad guys who are hunting
him on behalf of Lord Voldemort
(Ralph Fiennes), who takes lessons of tyranny from Hitler with
his own style of racial cleansing. Predictably, love triangle
drama threatens to break the three
friends up as they are stranded
in the woods, searching for the
four Horcruxes (pieces of Voldemort's soul, remember?). With
the film dragging in the middle,
it absolutely soars in an animated
sequence illustrating the origins
of the Deathly Hallows, waking
you instantly from the monotony
of the film's middle. Also of note
is an all too brief dance scene
between Harry and Hermione to
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' "O,
Children," which is fascinating in
its awkwardly sweet placement.
The film briefly pulls in some
new faces (Bill Nighy, Rhys Ifans, and John Hurt), giving the
film more artistic credibility, but
never uses the actors' full talent
(Hurt is only near the end and
barely noticed as background).
The film also fails to take advantage of some of the other original characters; Severus Snape
(Alan Rickman) and the Aryan
Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) are
merely onscreen for the sake
of being onscreen. Their characters aren't used to their full
extent, putting their usually sinister doings on hold for the sake
of their forced appearances.
However, there are saving
graces. Rupert Grint, clearly no
longer a child, shines as the jealous Ron and little Dobby the
elf makes his return in a chorus
of "awwwws" and you can't
help but join in. James Andrew
Eric Phelps and Oliver Martyn
John Phelps are comedic scene
stealers as the twins, Fred and
George Weasley, Ron's brothers. Finally, there's Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort. Fiennes,
looking like the illicit lovechild
of Nosferatu and a vampire bat
with an eerie sweetness that reminds one of Martha Stewart on a
bender, delivers a sickly disturbing onscreen presence that has
you longing to see his fascinating face in every single frame.
Was it truly necessary to break
the final film up into two parts?
Probably not. Much of Part I consists of the three friends bouncing from place to place, looking
to be in a real dire hurry, without
discovering much of anything
to make it worth their, and our,
while. However, the real test will
be the final film (in which Gary
Oldman makes a long-awaited
return as Sirius Black). With six
previous films and 146 minutes
of drawn-out teasing in Part 1,
the payoff better be worth it.

leaders on our campus include
Dr. Joely Proudfit, part of the
Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians. Dr. Proudfit is also a member of the California Indian Sovereignty Center and The Native
American Advisory Council. The
student-based American Indian
Student Alliance (AISA) is an active student organization based
on increasing awareness and acceptance of Native Americans.
Dr. Proudfit encourages people to
come visit the California Indian
Sovereignty Center and AISA to
become engaged and involved
in Native American culture. Any
student may join AISA, whether
they are Native American or not.
Dr. Proudfit said, "If students
would like to get engaged in the
Native American community,
here on campus, they should enroll
in some Native American based
courses." She went on to say the
courses really brought students
closer to thè communities around
campus. Typically, in the spring,
students get to take field trips to
local reservations and speak with
community members about tribal
life. In the fall, community leaders come to CSUSM to talk about
the challenges faced by Native
Americans. Also, a Native American Studies minor may be taken.
Recently, our campus recognized National Native American
Heritage Month by showcasing
the Native American film, "Older
than America." The presentation drew a full house and some
audience members had to sit on
the floor. The film was the first
to be entirely directed and produced by a female Native American named Georgina Lightning.

gardless of the original movie's
reception. In the case of "The
Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,"
the language barrier between
Swedish and English becomes a
problem if the original were to
make its way to American theaters. Foreign films struggle with
American audiences, so releasing
them here becomes less desirable.
Remakes are also made on
the small screen, with shows like
"Battlestar Galactica," "The Office," and "V." These shows have
their differences from the original material; however, they are
still based on the same premise.
As remade television shows are
given the green light, Hollywood
chooses not to support original
content. Though some remakes
are successful, for example "The
Office," most seem to fall short
of surpassing the original material. Until Hollywood considers
this, audiences can expect to see
more recycled movies and shows.

for many prospective voters, especially young people looking
to make fact-based decisions.
The election forum, held at
1 p.m. Oct. 26 in Academic Hall
102, was designed to offer a nonpartisan discussion of the 2010
candidates and selected propositions, hoping to give CSUSM

After the panel presented both

a place for the ever-expanding
population of student veterans to
hang out, but also provides much
needed information on the ben-
efits of being a student veteran.
The United States Department
of Veterans Affairs (VA) works
with the CSUSM Veterans Center to help student veterans. The
center serves as an intermediary to guide the process of acquiring benefits from the VA.
The CSUSM Veterans Center
mediates between students and
the VA in order to ensure students get the most help possible.
Thanks to the Post-9/11 GI Bill,
student vets are eligible to receive help with their tuition and
l^^^ffifi
fees, monthly housing, books,
and supplies. Legislation like the
Post-9/11 GI Bill has allowed
easier reintegration of veterans
into schools once their service is
complete. It is available for veterans seeking undergraduate or
graduate degrees, as well as vocational and technical training.
The Veterans Center recruits
veterans as potential students to
CSUSM by setting up booths at
junior colleges and military bases. Their goal is to let veterans
know that CSUSM is a veteran
friendly campus that strives to
help them as much as possible.
The CSUSM Veterans Center also provides information on
veteran life outside of school.
They help student vets find out
what veteran activities are taking place in the local area.
While information is essential,
the Veterans Center serves as a
friendly environment for student
veterans to relax, drink coffee,
watch TV, or surf the web. The
center features a large TV that the
vets use to play some of their favorite movies including "Avatar,"
"The Hurt Locker," "The Dark
Knight," and "Super Troopers."
Student veterans enjoy a movie at University Hour.
When two members
of The Pride staff told me
they wanted to do a mock
debate for the paper, I
raised my eyebrows. I may
have also rolled my eyes.
We've all been inundated
with political information during this election
cycle, and I'm starting to
become a bit indifferent.
You might be, too. However, the issue of immigration is always on the edge
of our consciousness as
San Diegans. When Jillian
and Amy said they wanted
to debate a hypothetical
proposition,
involving
temporary closure of international borders, I gave it
some thought. This issue is
becoming more and more
polarized, and it may be
something we see on our
ballots at some point in
the future. The opinions
included in this debate do
not represent the beliefs of
any staff member at The
Pride, including Jillian and
Amy. They are assuming
roles as part of an exercise,
meant to teach and inform.
To put it another way, they
got sick of all the ugly debates during this election,
so they made an intelligent
one of their own. We've in-

The center is located on the
third floor of Craven Hall. The
Veterans Center is not an official school club; therefore, the
center does not receive an operating budget from CSUSM.
They welcome donations of
anything from DVDs to food.
As the population of student veterans grows, so does this community of men and women eager
to earn their degrees. For more

AS: Ok, well, I appreciate your points of view,
Jillian, but I believe that,
I differ slightly in my assessment of illegal immigration. First o f f , immigration has been a part of
this country since its inception. There would not
be an America without illegal immigration. There
wouldn't be diversity
without illegal immigration. There wouldn't be
an America without this
diversity that has come
here, whether through the
system or not, and that's
the bottom line. There are
ways to become a citizen
of this country legally,
and that is one of the arguments that I hear quite
often about illegal immigrants is that they choose
not to become a citizen.
They choose to not follow
the rules of the country
that they are wanting to
live in. But becoming a
citizen is one heck of a
process, and some people
come here with eight children and they don't have
the time, and they work 20
hours a day and they don't
have the money to buy
the books to study all the
things they get tested on.
Jillian Kerstetter: Yes, I
will start us o f f . One of
the main arguments that
is usually presented by a
lot of political parties, political news activists, everything like that, is that
illegal immigrants, however unfortunate their circumstances are from their
country, have repeatedly
taxed our own economy,
meaning having to accommodate illegal immigrants
or students in our schools,
them taking away jobs
from our working class.
It's just become more of
a problem for us than it
has really been helpful for
them. It's always been a
Catch-22 situation, but I
think at this point, we need
to take a step back possibly, and look at the potential damage that could be See DEBATE, p g4
done to our regional and
potentially ourfederal sectors if we keep allowing
unregulated immigration,

From DEBATE, pg 3
It is illogical for many people
to go about legalizing themselves in the United States because they just can't do it. The
reason they come here is under
hardship, and when the country that suggests freedom and
equality imposes this on people
who just want a better life, it is
a contradiction in and of itself
JK: That is a very good point. And
surprisingly enough, I do agree
with some of them. We should be
a country that does as we claim,
takes in the tired, the weary, the
poor. And I alsoagree that this
is a country of immigrants. Like
every other country in the world,
we should have a system for becoming a citizen of this country.
If you can't follow that system,
you shouldn't be allowed in.
AS: You're right, countries
maintain regulation by imposing laws on anyone who wants
to be a part of that country. That
is not the illogical part. Perhaps what needs to be done is
to create less stringent rules on
what it takes to become a citizen. They just want to come to a
place where they can have a job.
JK: What is America saying to
those countries that these illegal
immigrants are coming from?
What about their own power as
a country to help their tired, their
weary, their poor? I think it's almost undermining them to say
that we offer this great refuge...
If you want to talk about the more
pertinent case in our scenario, of
California, considering this has
to come up. Obviously that is the
more pressing issue as far as illegal immigration. Why aren't we
extending a hand to the Mexican
government? Offering them solutions , you know, money, whatever to help rebuild their government that is failing their people?
AS: Well, although I can't name
specifically the things that this
country does for other countries,
I know based o f f , I don't know,
common knowledge that—we
don't—we're not passive. We are
not a passive country. We don't
stand by and allow for injustices
whether in our country or another. I think i f s unfair to suggest
that America is trying to take
on the problems of the world
because I don't think we are.

trying to take on necessarily every single problem of the world,

JK: Naturalized citizens are citizens. I think we have to look more
at what's happening now. I'm not
saying that the border closures
would be for forever. Immigration is a positive aspect in some
cases, like you just said, it's on a
case-by-case basis. However, at
this point in time, it has been a
heated problem that many people
have many differing opinions on.
We need to get on the same page.
AS: Illegal immigration is not
the problem. Policy is the problem. Once the United States gets
its policies in order and we stop
spending so much, maybe we will
stop and realize that illegal immigration is not the problem, it's the
way we're spending our money.

War and veteran memorials
BY REBEKAH GREENE
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
To celebrate Veteran's Day,
students can take the time to
visit one or two of ijiany memorials spread throughout San
Diego County. Many of these
memorials are well-known tourist spots, while others reside like
hidden gems for the community to discover and appreciate.
With origins dating back to
1914, the Mount Soledad Memorial is one of the more recognizable memorials in San Diego.
The symbolic cross stands at 29
feet and is dedicated to Korean
War veterans. Surrounding the
cross are six walls of black granite, with thousands of memorial
plaques engraved with individual
stories to commemorate war veterans. Mount Soledad Memorial
holds a magnificent view of the
coast, placed high above La Jolla,
and serves as an important place
for visitors to take a glimpse
into history. This memorial is
open to the public from 7 a.m.
to 10 p.m. and is located along
La Jolla Scenic Drive South. For
specific driving directions, see
the memorial's site: http://www.
soledadmemorial.com/indexiitm.
Closer to San Marcos is the
Wall of Courage, a memorial in
Escondido's Grape Day Park.
The memorial is the result of
funds raised by a local elementary school, veterans' organizations, and the Escondido City
Council. The Wall of Courage
stands as a tribute to the men and
women who have served and continue to serve our country. The
statues consist of two men and a
woman standing in front of a wall
that is covered in plaques with
the names of those who served in
the military from World War I to
those who currently serve today.
Grape Day Park holds many more
memorials, including a Pearl
Harbor Memorial and a Veteran
Memorial dedicated to men and
women of all branches of service.
For directions and more information on the park's sites, visit:

The museum is open Tues through
Sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. There

Springsteen in fine form, making
a nice little tune ooze with emotion. Also in vintage Boss fashion, in this version the audience
hears a seemingly spontaneous
story to preface the performance.
Did you know "This Land is Your
Land" was written in response
to Irving Berlin's "God Bless
America" Woody disliked the
song and wrote "This Land" in
1940, in appreciation of the common people. It's a fine song, but

United States is still fighting issues of racism and eurocentric
dominance. We can take a few
cues from Tupac and try to make
some changes. Whether these
issues in his song are personally relatable or not, everyone
can understand his message that
prejudice exists and needs our

people to create the changes we
want to see. As elections are approaching, you might ask yourself what's the point of voting?
We can change tomorrow by
having our say today. The time
to act is now. College students

Love Your Body event celebrates beauty
BY MAYA LIFTON
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
On Thursday, the CSUSM Women's Center threw its annual "Love
Your Body" event. The event included many booths where visitors could
get a henna tattoo, and stop by the
wellness center booth, where health
information was passed out, and resources on maintaining a healthy sex
life were available. In addition to
booths, the event was served food,
water, snacks, candy, and back and
hand massages. Thee event also
featured a red carpet where people
had the opportunity to strut down
with confidence and make the statement of "I am beautiful and proud."
Jenilee Remigio, the Communication Coordinator at the Women's Center said, "The purpose of the event is
for women to embrace their bodies
as who they are, what they look like,
and know that they are beautiful just
the way they are, and to challenge
society's beauty standards." Unfortunately, society has put a lot of pressure on women to look a certain way.
This pressure can be found mostly in
American media, which presents
certain images to young girls of
what a woman should look like
and what beauty is. TV comj mercials have also become much
r
more provocative. The only way
for women to completely break
I out of this ingrained body imf age idea is by completely loving
themselves, and throwing away

in one form. It is the opposite,

ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR
Honoring our Veterans is an annual tradition come Nov. 11. For those of us who
may not be directly linked to veteran, the
perception of one may often be misconceived as an older, pony-tailed grandpa,
eager to reminisce about the old days.
While many of our grandparents, indeed,
are veterans and worthy of that stereotype, the image is not all-encompassing.
At CSUSM, veterans walk our halls, are in
our classes, and share the same burdens of
student life as us. However, their academic
lives are tinged with the experiences that
only a life in the armed forces can bring.
When asked what one of the most challenging parts about returning to civilian
life as a student has been, vet Elijah Artiaga confesses, "Making friends." Having
come out of an camaraderie formed with
the people he served four years in the Marines with, finding people with common
life experiences has been a difficult mission but, Artiaga is not alone. The Veteran's Center at CSUSM, located in Cougar
Central, offers a common ground for veterans to hang out. Fellow vet Nighat Beg explains that after having served in* the Navy
for 10 years, the Veteran's Center has allowed her to meet people and make lasting
friendships outside of service. For Beg, her
challenge came in the form of fashion. "I
had to buy more civilian clothes!" she said.
Approaching college with years of
military experience in tow has definitely
instilled some beneficial learning tools
in many student vets. Responsibility and
punctuality are two things veteran Aaron
Green has been glad to apply to his academic career. "I come to class and hear
students make weak excuses about being late, because their alarm clocks were
broken, and I think, 'Really? Your alarm
clock was broken?'" Many veterans, like
Artiage, join the armed forces to fund their
college education, either attending school
while in service, or resuming their education after their service is complete. As a
result, student vets come to college with
more life experiences than the incoming
first years who transition to college straight
from high school. Often times, their experience in the service influences their career
path, like Beg, who explained that having
worked with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) patients in the Navy has
inspired her to pursue a graduate degree
in Social Work, specializing in PTSD.
For incoming student veterans, Beg encourages openmindedness. Moving from a
highly organized environment to one that is
more lax in time, duties, and even fashion,
it is important to "think outside the box"
and be open to new situations. As for the
upcoming holiday, our vets have veterans
of their own they would like to honor, such
as Green's friend Erik Wegmann in the
Navyfightingpiracy off the coast of Africa,
and Chad Geddes' family member Carlos
Ashlock, who went MIA during Vietnam.
As Nov. 11 draws near, The Pride
encourages you to remember to honor
the veterans past and present who have
dedicated their lives to make ours what
it is in this country: free, strong, and resilient. Thank you to Nighat Beg, Aaron
Green, Elijah Artiaga, Chad Geddes, and
Travis Riley for their contributions to this
piece and for their service to our country.

�Highlighting some of the most iconic war films
BY ASHLEY DAY
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Goriest War Film: Saving Private Ryan (1998)
Director Steven Spielberg propelled war movies to new heights with his adaptation of the horrific reality of
World War n . This action packed film, starring Tom Hanks as Capt. John H. Miller and an all- star cast (Matt
Damon, Edward Burns, and Tom Sizemore) set the standard for one of the most graphic battle scenes in a
movie. The first 15 minutes of "Saving Private Ryan" begins with the June 6 1944 and Allied troops storming of the beaches of Normandy, France. The worst part of this opening scene is a dying soldier lying on the
ground screaming for his mother while his entrails are falling out of his stomach. "Saving Private Ryan" is
not a movie for the faint hearted. The film wonfiveAcademy Awards.
Honorable Mention: Black Hawk Down (2001)
Best Depiction of the War on Terrorism: The Hurt Locker (2009^
Last March, "The Hurt Locker" scored six Academy Awards (including Best Picture) making Kathryn
Bigelow thefirstfemale director to win Best Picture. Jeremy Renner plays the lead as Sergeant First Class
William James, leader of a highly trained bomb disposal team. Set in the year 2004 in Baghdad, the movie
focuses not on political or social problems, but the hardships of a soldier's tour of duty. Dangerous bomb
diffusion scenes reveal the skill it takes to survive in a place where nobody can be trusted. "The Hurt Locker"
shows the intensity and stress war can put on the soldier.
Honorable Mention: No End In Sight (2007)
Best Romance in a War Film: Gone With The Wind (1939)
"Gone With The Wind" appeared at a time in American history when life in our country was bleak. The country had suffered through the Great Depression and World War II was engulfing all of Europe. The plot of the
film - the tumultuous period of the Civil War - paralleled to the catastrophe Americans were suffering through
during "Gone With The Wind's" release. Thisfilmbecame an instant American classic. Clark Gable (Rhett
Butler) and Vivian Leigh (Scarlett O' Hara) portray one of the most heart wrenching romances in a movie.
O'Hara suffers through losing her status, husbands, innocence and strength, a child, and ultimately, her true
love (Butler).
Honorable Mention: Casablanca (1942)
Least Historically Accurate: The Patriot (2001)
Set in 1776, during the American Revolution, "The Patriot," follows the life of Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) a French-Indian war hero. Martin lives as a farmer in South Carolina with his seven children. Martin
remembers the brutality of the French-Indian war and decides to remain on the sidelines of the Revolution,
until his family is endangered by British troops. Some of the inconsistencies of this film are a torching of a
church full of people (never happened), slaves being able to enlist in war (never would have happened) and
an unfair exaggeration of British aggression toward Americans. This film did not make as much as it was
projected to at the box office.
Honorable Mention: Pearl Harbor (2001)
Best Philosophical Message in a War Film: Apocalypse Now (1979)
"Apocalypse Now" explores the madness of the Vietnam War. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, "Apocalypse Now" delves into the minds of Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) and Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando)
during one of the most horrid wars in history. Cpt. Willard is sent to kill an insane Kurtz, but this journey
changes Willard in ways he did not know possible. Coppola explores human nature and the darkness war can
instill on the human mind.
Honorable Mention: All Quiet On The Western Front (1930)

THE FIGHT CONTINUES in Call of Duty: Black OPS
New enhanced technology enables multiplayers to enjoy new missions in a whole new way
BY FAITH ORCINO
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
The war rages on as "Call
of Duty: Black Ops" arrives in stores on Nov. 9.
Developer Treyarch and game
publisher Activision brings players back to the Cold War. This
new installment of the "Call
of Duty" game series is a sequel to "Call of Duty: World at
War.*' The game will be available for the PS3, Xbox 360,
Nintendo DS, Wii and PCs.
For the collectors within the
community, the limited Hardened
Edition includes the game in a
metallic case with four special
co-op maps, an exclusive Xbox
Live/PlayStation Network avatar and a medal in a display case.
For the die-hard fans, the limited
Prestige Edition package includes
the Hardened Edition set plus a
remote-controlled vehicle that
looks similar to the new RC-XD
killstreak with its remote. The
Prestige Edition is only available
for Xbox 360 and PS3 systems.
According to the game's official website (www.callofduty.
com/blackops),players have more
options to their gaming experience. Unlike the previous games,
"Black Ops" offers the choice
of changing the looks of the soldiers. It is one of the newest additions in multiplayer game-play.
Other additions include
Theater Mode, wager matches,
and new killstreaks. The re-,
turn of Treyarch also brings
the return of the zombie co-op
mode, where two players fight
an endless army of zombies.
"Call of Duty: World at War"
was the first to have this mode in
the game. In the single-player
campaign feature, gamers follow the path of a Black Ops
member. Players enter the Cold
War into secret missions and international conflicts. Whether it
is an online multiplayer match
or a new chapter of the campaign, "Call of Duty: Black
Ops" is a brand-new way to play.

In defense of public education
CSUSM s tudents a nd staff r ally t o i nspire v oters
BY JENNA JAUREGUI
DIGITAL MEDIA
MANAGER
Following the March 4 rallies
earlier this year and demonstrations regarding tuition increases
and slashed funding, activists derT^hursday,
Oct.
7 cided to organize a second date
marked
the
most to allow students, teachers, and
X recent Day of Ac- community members to speak
tion for the national campaign out against budget cuts and other
to defend public education. grievances they believe are hurting the public education system
in California and the nation. The
day was planned specifically to
bring awareness to issues surrounding education in light of this
fall's midterm election season.
CSUSM held its own rally in
defense of public education during U-hour in the free speech
plaza. As students gathered for
the event, protest-themed music
was played over loudspeakers to
inspire emotion and unrest. Students were served free pizza and
heard speeches from CSUSM
Student Body President Susana
Figueroa, CSUSM professor Heidi Breuer, and California State
University Employees Union
CSUSM Chapter President Mike
Geek. The microphone was then
open for students at the rally to
come and share their opinions.
Figueroa appealed to her fellow students in her speech, reminding them that they have a
responsibility to hold state leaders accountable for the promises
they make. Students can make a
difference and form a legacy by
choosing to step up and vote. "As
college students, we are often
devalued although we work so
hard for our education," she said.
"Voting is so easy to do—investigating the issues is the hardest
part, but also the most essential."
Breuer opened her speech by
mentioning the millions of dollars in federal stimulus funds that
were recently granted to the UC
and CSU systems and pointing
out that professors are no longer complaining about furlough
days. "It may
seem like everything
is
fine
now,"
she said to
the students,
"but all is
not
good!"
She compared
the
present state
of public education to the
eye of a hurricane. "We
are in the eye
of our storm,
the storm of
public education. We are
in the middle
of a huge attack. ..
the
chaos is coming." Breuer
said that the
most pressing
issue in the
IILIZE
coming elec-
tion is whether education should
be a privilege, privatized so that
only those with money can attend
school, or a right. "Education
doesn't just benefit you, it benefits
the entire community," she said,
"so tell a friend, register to vote,
and go vote in the Nov. election!"

• l or the first time since
| H 2008,
California
J L State University San
Marcos (CSUSM) is accepting applications from transfer and international students
for the Spring 2011 semester.
California politicians made
repeated drastic cuts to the CSU
educational system budget for
many years. Recently, Governor
Schwarzenegger proposed restoring $305 million to the CSU system. If the California legislature
enacts the proposed budget, there
will be a new influx of students
attending CSUSM this Januaiy.
Last year, over 17,000 prospective students applied for enrollment in CSUSM during the
priority-filing period. This statistic was up 22 percent from student applications for the fall 2009
semester. According to official
school statistics, the number of
transfer applicants has increased
48 percent compared to the transfer applicant rate from fall 2009.
CSUSM is only welcoming certain students for spring
2011. The first students to be
admitted will come from local community colleges such as
Palomar College, Mount San
Jacinto College (MSJC), and
MiraCosta College. Students
transferring from the community
colleges must be ready to start
their upper division coursework.
Prospective students should
have . consecutively attended
Palomar, MSJC or MiraCosta
before applying to CSUSM.
Students looking to be readmitted into CSUSM also have
first priority admissions status.
International or foreign exchange students are also allowed to apply for the spring
2 0tl semester. Students from
countries outside the United
States need a valid F1 visa to
be considered for admission.
CSUSM will not receive
students aspiring to accomplish a second bachelor's degree. They will also not be accepting first time freshmen
or lower division applicants.
CSUSM will know how many
transfer students they can afford
to accept after the California education budget is finalized. Therefore, offers
of admission
into CSUSM
will not be
dispatched
immediately.
If students
are not accepted
for
spring 2011,
they
have
two options
for the fate of their applications.
Transfer or international students may use the spring 2011
applications for the prospect of
getting in during fall 2011, or
they may request to have their
applications rescinded and their
money returned to their pockets.
The deadline for transcripts
to be delivered to academic admission is this Friday, Oct. 15.

The college survival guide
Roomates 101: c ommunication, cleanliness, a nd c onsideration
BY DEVONNE EDORA
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Fall semester is kicking
into high gear. Our college
years have begun and many
new and different experiences are yet to come. Do
you live in the University
Village Apartments (UVA)
or off-campus housing?
Then there is high chance
that at some point you will
be living with roommates.
Having a roommate is a
big responsibility, filled
with challenges and disagreements. Yet it can also
be a great and rewarding
adventure. So listen up
and take notes, Cougars.
Next time "roomie" issues
come up, remind yourself of these helpful tips.
#1 Communication is
essential. Whether you're
living with friends or not,
being able to talk and communicate openly provides
an honest environment.
Things can be great in the
beginning, but can get ugly
really fast. Make sure to
address any issues right
away. Roommates who
reach a mutual understanding of each other's needs
are able to form better relationships. Brian Dawson, housing director at
UVA, encourages students
to "walk in each other's
shoes," when people come
to college. "All they know
is what they've lived at
home, so everyone has
different routines." Living with roommates isn't
easy, but try to be openminded about each other to
avoid any future conflicts.
#2 Figure out what is
"clean." Everyone grew up

Coming to college
places students in unfamiliar places, so being polite
to others can go a long
way. "People need to lower
their expectations for what
the other person is doing,
and to raise their expectations for themselves," advises Dawson. Chances are
some roommates will be
blaring Lil' Wayne through

always bring guests over
(especially when you're
studying). Some will be
coming home at the wee
hours of the morning, waking everyone up five hours
earlier than they need to.
No matter how irritating all
that can be, have respect for
your roommates. You need
to be willing to listen and
receptive to change. Figure out a policy on study
schedules, noise levels,
and privacy. In this way,
it is helpful to see what
everyone agrees on and
eases the living situation.
Handling these issues in
an adult manner is a great
skill that proves to be useful even beyond college.
Be patient and respectful to your roommates. Students should be stressing
about 10 page papers, not
unwashed dishes. Don't
expect to become best
friends, but implementing
these tips can at least open
that up as a possibility.

�J ennum looking t o b ring winning ways across t own
Former Palomar women's basketball coach t o start program at CSUSM
BY MICHAEL RAWSON
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Whfen some people talk
about passion, it might seem
like a cliché or a buzzword.
When Sheri Jennum talks
about passion, you can feel it.
Jennum, the new women's basketball coach, gestures emphatically, explaining how much she
loves her well-lit office, how excited she is to be on the CSUSM
campus, and why she has been
so successful in other positions.
"When it comes to [basketball], I am extremely competitive—it's about having passion."
When you look at her story,
you understand. Jennum has
never been anything but a winner.
She's a member of the Napa High
School hall of fame, once leading
Napa High to a Bay Valley Conference championship. At Fullerton College, she was the Most
Valuable Player of the Southern
California Tournament after an
undefeated season. After transferring to Cai Poly Pomona, she
lead the 1985 team to an NCAA
Division II championship, earning all-tournament team honors.
Her coaching history is no
different. She enjoyed success at several assistant and
head coaching jobs at various
levels before leaving the sport
in 2000 to become a lawyer.
Men's golf finishes
9th in first tournament of fall
But the taste for money and security only lasts for so long when
you love the game like Jennum.
In 2004, she accepted an assistant
job at her Community College
Alma Mater, Fullerton. A year
later she moved on to an assistant
job across town from CSUSM at
Palomar College, where she became the head coach full-time in
2007. Over the last three years, her
teams compiled a record of 74-18,
with an astonishing record in the
Pacific Coast Conference of 40-2.
It is no wonder the administration chose Jennum to lead the
Lady Cougars. Jennum said the
feeling was mutual. "I've had
my eye on the [CSUSM athletic]
program for a long time," she
said, "and it was exciting when
the soccer, softball and baseball
teams got started." When it's
built, the new CSUSM basketball and volleyball arena will
be visible from Jennum's office
window. But as she gazes at the
spot, she notes that it probably
won't be built for "as we understand it at least a year, if not two."
When asked about the possibility of the Cougars playing home games in the Dome
at Palomar College, Jennum almost seems to have not considered the significance of coaching at her old stomping grounds.
My main focus is on day to day
use, on practice sites...but if
[Palomar] will have us, I 'm more
than happy to play anywhere."
Once the first season begins in 2011, will the women's
team play any games on the
same night as the men, as is
traditional in established programs? Jennum isn't sure.
"It's tough to schedule doubleheaders as an independent. [The
Cougars will compete as an NAIA
independent . in 2011.] Teams
don't want to play you in January
or February, because they don't
want to play outside their conference. And it's difficult without a home site. But I have been
talking with [Men's coach] Jim
[Saia] about it, and we'd like to.
I know it's exciting for the fans."
Jennum mentions her focus on
graduation with academic success
and community service. She also
knows Cougar fans expect winning. There's plenty of pressure,
and she'sfinewith it. She recites a
quote by tennis legend Billy Jean
King: "Pressure is privilege."
"I believe that." she said with
a nod. "Because when you are
under pressure, you've put yourself in a situation where you
can win...our first year, we're
going for a championship."

that, about a c ouple other s ites.

Nicanor shot 74 on Tuesday after rounds of 74 and 77 on Monday, giving him a three-round
total of 225, good for 25th place.
Not far behind was sophomore Adam Loran, who tied for

Johnson's h at trick propels CSUSM to 5-1 victory over Chapman
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
Lauren
Johnson's
three
goals in the first 21 minutes
put the game out of reach early, as CSUSM women's soccer cruised to a 5-1 victory at
home over Chapman University.
The #16-ranked Cougars
improve to 6-1-5 on the season. Chapman, a member of
NCAA Division HI, drops to 7-4.
CSUSM came out absolutely
onfireon Saturday, and the team's
first 20 minutes was very likely
the best stretch of soccer that the
home fans have seen this season.
The Cougars got to every loose
ball, won every 50/50 chance,
and played with a tenacity that
overwhelmed their opponent.
As the team has learned this
season though, it's one thing to
dominate play, but it takes something else to translate that into
goals. Today the Cougars did just
that, thanks largely to Johnson.
In thE ninth minute, Taylor Schurman, who was among
the many Cougars that had a
fantastic game, hit a dangerous ball into the box. It ricocheted off the crossbar, and
was eventually poked home by
Johnson to put CSUSM up 1-0.
Not long after, Schurman
once again carried the ball
down the right flank, hitting
another excellent cross into the
box. This time it found Johnson
cleanly, who crushed a shot into
the back of the net to make it 2-0.
Johnson wasted little time
in making it a hat trick - the
first of the season for CSUSM
- taking advantage of a Taylor Ziencina cross and punching it home to make it 3-0.
That would end the first half
scoring, and Chapman came
out with renewed motivation
in the second half, controlling
play for a stretch that result-
ed in a goal by Aimee Evans.
But CSUSM would regain
control and put the contest away
late. In the 71st minute, Ziencina and Breanna Brenton combined for a corner kick goal for
the second straight game, with
Brenton using her height and
aerial skills to get a clean header
off past the Chapman keeper.
And finally, with just 16
seconds left to play, Kelsey
Gunion hit a nice through ball
that found Arielle Cohen, who
•dribbled in one-on-one with
the keeper and slid it by for
her third goal in two games.
Since a two-week mid-season
break, CSUSM has now scored
11 goals in its two games. Prior
to that, the Cougars had scored 3
goals in their previous 6 matches.
The Cougars will be
back in action this Wednesday at San Diego Christian.

Men's soccer returns to action with 2-0 victory over
Soka
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
mmM
HHHHHHH
Playing theirfirstgame in front
of the home crowd in three weeks,
Cougar men's soccer looked sharp
on both offense and defense in a
2-0 victory over Soka University.
CSUSM improves to 6-22 on the season. Soka drops
to 7-5. Both teams' records
also benefitted from the recent
decision of #5-ranked Vanguard University to forfeit its
first six games of the season.
Playing in front of the loud
home crowd on Thursday, the
Cougars controlled play from the
opening whistle, not allowing a
single shot while tallying 28 of
their own and putting 12 on net.
Kevin Ernst earned the shutout in
net for CSUSM, with a huge assist
from his midfield and back line,
who were stout for all 90 minutes.
The Cougars wasted little time
shaking off the rust, taking a 1-0
lead in the second minute. Max
Blumenshine played a long ball
behind the defense, and Warren
Ashcroft ran under it and drove
a solid strike past the keeper
and into the roof of the net.
That score would persist
through the first half, before
CSUSM added the clincher early
in the second. In the 60th minute, Jordan Shadeed collected
a ball in the attacking zone, and
dribbled his way around defenders to the side of the net. Shooting from a sharp angle, Shadeed
hit a rocket into the back of
the net to put his team up 2-0
and ultimately finish the game.
CSUSM will be back in
action at San Diego Christian
this
Wednesday.
�C S U S M THEATER PREVIEW: CHELA, A CTOS, A ND A
THEATER FEST HEAT U P THE HOLIDAYS O N CAMPUS
BY JENNA JAUREGUI
DIGITAL MEDIA MANAGER
The theater department at
CSUSM is hard at work preparing for its upcoming productions,
anticipating an exciting semester
of fresh, original performances.
Keeping with CSUSM's celebration of cultural diversity, many of
the productions contain a multicultural point of view—exploring
the adversity and achievements
of Hispanic culture. "Given the
mounting anti-immigrant propaganda now being felt by many of
Hispanic descent, this is a time to
bring theatre of consciousness to
the public," Visual and Performing Arts professor Marcos Martinez said of the upcoming shows.
•"As the premier educational institution in North County, CSUSM is
taking the lead in offering theatre
that speaks to issues affecting our
community and our region." The
two main performances this fall
are "Chela," a one-woman show
by comedienne/actress Dulce
Maria Solis, and "Actos," a collection of satirical one-act plays
by renowned director/playwright/
social rights activist Luis Valdez.
"Chela" is a biographical performance that tells the poignant
true story of a young Mexican
woman and the shocking challenges she faces as an immigrant
trapped in a loveless marriage,
struggling to regain her sexuality.
Performed and written by CSUSM
theater alumnus and rising actress
Dulce Maria Solis, this inspiring
production is based on the life of
Solis's own mother. Its powerful
messages are laced with comedy and sorrow, culminating in a
captivating, emotional narrative.
"Actos" portrays the identity struggle, psychological
trauma, and abuse endured by
Mexican-American farmworkers.
The production is based on Valdez's experiences with migrant
workers when he joined Cesar
Chavez in his efforts to educate
and organize farmworkers in
the 1960s. Shown through a satirical lens, these short sketches
use bits of humor to illuminate
powerful social and political critique. Known as "the father of
Chicano theatre in the United
States," Luis Valdez is renowned
for his work in Hollywood
whose credits include the movies "La Bamba" and "Zoot Suit."
Come December, the theater department will host a student festival of plays and per-
formances written and acted
entirely by CSUSM students.
Theater student Tricia Bowen
said the plays are "so funny...
it's a great chance to support
your friends and peers, and see
some really entertaining shows."
The student festival includes a
monologue festival, and a play
festival. The p lay festival will
feature two one-act plays written
by students from last semester's
play and screenwriting class—
"Just Passing Through" by Matt
Chewiwie and "The Overnights"
by Samantha Carr—and a capstone project by graduating theater/VPA major Mary Relator,
titled "S-t-a-u-n-c-h Women"—
a cabaret-style show portraying
iconic, fictional, and historical
women and the issues they face.

upcoming theater events at
CSUSM or for advanced reservations, call (760) 750-4137
or

With panels, workshops, live
music, and the opportunity to
meet filmmakers, The San Diego
Asian Film Festival is the perfect
chance for you to be adventurous
and see some films that maybe
you wouldn't normally try out.
Kicking off the festival will
be the West Coast premiere of
the ambitious martial arts film
"Legend of the Fist," by filmmaker Andrew Lau. Set during
the Second Sino-Japanese War,
it is a story of vengeance and resistance, displaying a dynamic
visual style and incredible martial arts. Closing the festival is
the romantic comedy "Au Revoir
Taipei," written and directed by
Arvin Chen. Spanning just one
night, it tells the story of Kai and
Susie as they find excitement
(including an Asian Four Tops
cover band) and love together
in Taipei. Produced by Wim
Wenders ("Wings of Desire"),
"Au Revoir Taipei" promises to
be the perfect ending of what is
surer to be an amazing festival.
Currently tickets in packs of
four ($34) and ten ($86) can be
purchased online at www.sdaff.
org, and starting Oct. 19, tickets
can be bought at the Mission Valley UltraStar theater's box office.
There are many perks of buying

�HOT O FF THE REEL: R.E.D.
by mila p a n t o vich
pride s t a f f w r i t e r
A movie about retired CIA
agents may not seem appealing to a younger generation,
but "Red" certainly succeeds in
proving any naysayers wrong.
Filled with a high-caliber cast,
copious amounts of gunfire, fantastic action sequences, and perfectly timed jokes, "Red" manages to set itself apart from any
other film at the theater right
now, making it the perfect film
to catch with a group of friends.
Frank Moses is a CIA blackops retiree living a life of calm
repetition. He fills his days with
a routine that includes watching
after an avocado pit and finding
excuses to call Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker), a telephone operator
who escapes her dull life through
reading trashy romance novels.
However, when a group of heavily armed assassins shoots their
way into his house, Frank quickly
discovers that he, and all of the
agents he worked with, are targets
due to their knowledge of top-secret information. After snatching
Sarah, who was in danger due to
her contact with him, Frank begins reassembling his old team,
Joe (Morgan Freeman), Marvin
(John Malkovich), and Victoria
(Helen Mirren). Together, the
team makes their way to an ex-
citing climax, with a government
cover-up involving the Vice President (Julian McMahon), which
will leave a smile on your face.
It's incredibly hard to pull off a
good action comedy without giving the audience the overwhelming feeling that you're trying too
hard. Thankfully, Robert Schwentke has an incredible cast that
revel in their characters. Bruce
Willis plays a ruthless killer who
is, as Mirren's character explains,
"gooey on the inside." It's a role
that Willis has done countless
times but it works because delivering fun action scenes (including
a scene in which he calmly steps
out of a car that's doing a 360
degree spin) is what Wilis does
best. x While Willis is good, his
fellow retired black-ops agents
make the movie truly worth seeing. Playing a cancer patient living in a retirement home, Morgan
Freeman is disappointingly underused but uses his screen time
with a charming and effortless
ease. Playing a paranoid conspiracy theorist, John Malkovich only
gets more fascinating and hypnotizing with age. Even when barely
in the frame, he steals nearly every scene that he is in, reveling
in Marvin's neurosis and entertaining with merely the raise of
an eyebrow. Matching Malkovich for laughs is Helen Mirren,
who is absolutely stunning as the
polished and lethal weapon's expert, Victoria. Mirren effortlessly
proves that, at 65 years old, she is
far sexier behind a high-powered
machine gun than any young starlet could ever be. Also delivering
great performances are MaryLouise Parker, Karl Urban as
the conflicted agent tasked with
killing the group, Richard Dreyfuss, Brian Cox, and an adored
appearance by Ernest Borgnine.
While a PG-13 rating is often a
detriment to action films, rest assured that the rating hasn't dulled
the explosive fun one bit. "Red"
renders the low rating unnoticeable by employing excellent ac. tion scenes and a plethora of gunfire. With bodies being blown to
bits, Schwentke turned to stylized
sequences without resorting to
unnecessary moments of excessive blood. For fans of the original
graphic novel of the same name
by Warren Ellis and Cully Hammer, don't expect a faithful adaptation. After all, the Frank of the
book would never be called "gooey." However, as a standalone action film, "Red" makes the right'
choice in letting its incredible cast
have fun with their roles, which
in turn makes the film a complete
joy to watch. With its predictability and bloated length that drags
in the middle, "Red" doesn't reinvent the action comedy genre
by any means. Nevertheless, by
providing constant laughs and
delivering scenes like Malkovich's attack on a woman in the
airport and Mirren's command
of a rocket launcher, "Red" will
probably be the most fun you've
had in a movie theater in a while.

There is an old Spanish saying
that says, "Between soup and love,
the first is better." Although some
may not take their food preferences
to such extremesf there is no denying the warm pleasure of a bowl of
fragrant, steaming soup on a chilly
autumn evening. Soup can serve as
a light lunch or, when paired with a
sandwich or pasta dish, a filling dinner. It may be easy to break out the
can opener and heat some pre-packaged chowder or broth, but with only
a few more minutes of preparation,
you can enjoy a bowl of homemade
soup custom designed to suit your
taste. A little time on the stove and
your soup will be ready for slurping.
Full of nutritious ingredients and vitamins,
soups are a scrumptious way to stave off winter cold and flu season. There is a reason why
people recommend eating chicken soup when
you get sick! Here is a recipe to get you started.
Chicken Tortilla Soup
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup chopped cooked chicken
Vi avocado, diced
VA cup fresh cilantro leaves
1 can diced tomatoes
1 chopped poblano pepper *
Vegetable or chicken stock
Handful of corn tortilla chips
Shredded cheese
Pour all ingredients except the stock
and chips into a pot and heat on the stove
until warmed. Add stock until desired
consistency. Crumble tortilla chips into
a bowl and ladle soup over the top. Add
shredded cheese over the top and enjoy!
The avocados and black beans in this soup
are nutritional powerhouses. CSUSM health
educator Cathy Nguyen said, "Good sources
of nutrients found in avocados include: beta
carotene, magnesium, Vitamin E, and potassium to name a few." Regarding the health
benefits of black beans, she said, "according
to a research study from Michigan State University in 2003, black beans have the most
antioxidant activity of all flavonoids when
compared to 12 other varieties of dry beans.
Black beans are also an excellent source of dietary fiber and help with digestive disorders."
This soup proves that eating healthy can
be delicious! Ciao, my soup chefs!

THE PRIDE
S treet a rt t hrive/ in
BY MILA PANTOVICH
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
If you've been to downtown
San Diego within the past two
months, you've probably noticed
the more recent insurgence of
inspired street art to hit our urban landscape. If you have yet
to make a trip to the downtown
area, take a day off and make the
short drive as quickly as possible.
On July 18, 2010, the "Museum
of Contemporary Art" opened its
most recent art exhibition, "Viva
la Revolución: A Dialogue with
the Urban Landscape" within the
Jacobs Building on Kettner Boulevard. Curated by Pedro Alonzo
and MCASD Associate Curator Lucía Sanromán, the exhibit
features twenty of the most well
known street artists from ten different countries (including the
likes of Shepard Fairey, Banksy,
VHILS, and Barry McGee). The
exhibit succeeds in opening dialogue to the nature of street art
and its place in society by removing the art from its urban context
and placing it within the white
walls of a museum. The risk was
well taken and incredibly successful due to the sheer weight
and overwhelming beauty of
the pieces shown. With thoughtprovoking installations, the exhibit succeeds in integrating the
chaos of urban artwork with the
pristine, and often outdated, setting of an art museum. One of
the largest pieces in the exhibit
is by Swoon, the only female artist featured in the exhibit. The
enormous installation utilizes
recycled materials, such as wood
slabs and glass bottles, to assemble a tower of forgotten waste
that gives attention to industrialization and the humanity that is
lost in the process. Also featured
in the exhibit is a stunning use of
crumbling urban walls as art by
VHILS, Stephan Doitschinoff's
thought-provoking religious alter, and reactionary prints by
the infamous Banksy (the largest collection of his prints to be
shown at once). Open until Jan.
2, 2011, the exhibit bravely embraces the unique and risky nature of the ever-changing street
art scene, allowing the movement the respect it deserves from
the community of art museums.
Unique and entirely fitting
Of the exhibit's theme, "Viva la
Revolución" doesn't limit itself
to an indoor setting and includes
public commissions throughout
downtown San Diego, as well as
un-commissioned works on locations secured by the museum. Included in the public displays is a
photomural by JR and large-scale
murals by OS Gemeos, Stephan
Doitschinoff, Shepard Fairey, Invader, and Barry McGee. One can
either hit the exhibit first, picking
up a street map there (also available at http://wwwjncasandiego.
org) to engage in their art treasure
hunt, or take two days to explore
the two very different art viewing experiences. Many works are
within walking distance of the exhibit, two are on the same block,
but there are many gorgeous pieces that one would need a car to
see, especially Shepard Fairey's
beautiful piece in South Park and
Stephen Doitschinoff's comparison of Jesus to the inhuman neg-
ligence of livestock that appears
off of 16th Street in downtown.
What the scavenger hunt manages to do, within our clean streets,
is create an awareness of all the
surrounding art that one may
never notice. Instead of traveling
through San Diego streets blindly,
the public displays cause people
to engage with the constant presence of art. While some may go
completely unrealized, like Invader's small-scale work with
tiles that don't appear on the map,
each one causes people to appreciate areas that they may never
have noticed before, giving them
new landmarks to know their city
by and opening a surging dialogue regarding the nature, power, and necessity to the growing
of culture that urban art brings.

by sharing information about
the disease and providing ac-

early detection and prevention.
According to the Susan G.
Komen website, wwwJcoipen.
org, breast cancer does not discriminate by age or ethnicity. All
women (and even some men) are
susceptible to the disease, and
over 200,000 new cases of breast
cancer will be diagnosed this year.
Apart from skin cancer, breast
cancer is the most common cancer in women but is also the most
successfully treated. Regular
mammogram screenings, MRIs,
and ¿linical breast exams are
imperative to the detection and
treatment of breast cancer. The
key to success comes with prevention through early detection.
^The earlier the detection of breast
cancer, the more treatable the disease becomes. While women follow health guidelines and armor

many other ways to get involved

Government urges vaccination for seasonal flu
SHCS offers flu shots for students and faculty/staff
2009 H1N1 virus that caused
so much illness last season."
The CDC warns against vaccination for those who have a severe allergy to chicken eggs, people who are currently sick with a
moderate to severe illness with
fever, or those recently diagnosed
with Guillain-Barré syndrome.
In years past, the CDC recommended two different shots for a
patient to develop full immunity
to seasonal flu viruses. This year,
most patients require only one
dose of this full-spectrum vaccination. However, the CDC recommends that children aged six
months to eight years, who have
never received a flu vaccination,
get two doses of the flu vaccine
spaced four or more weeks apart.
People with the highest
risk for seasonal flu infection include pregnant women,
people with compromised immune systems, and anyone with
long-term health problems.
Although it is not possible to
get the flu from a flu shot, there
is a slight risk of mild complications after receiving the vaccination. These complications
include, but are not limited to,
low-grade fever, soreness or redness at the injection site, and body
aches, according to CVS phar-
macies. Side effects usually last
no longer than one to two days.
To avoid possible side effects associated with vaccinations, select CVS pharmacies
offer a nasal spray called FluMist for individuals between two
and 49 with no health problems.
The CVS pharmacy across
from campus also offers flu
vaccinations, but does not offer FluMist. The next dates for
vaccinations are Oct. 29 from
1 to 3 p.m. and Nov. 5 from 1
to 3 p.m. The pharmacy does
not require an appointment.

SELLING CLASS NOTESCONSIDERED GROUNDS
FOR EXPULSION
BY SANDRA CHALMERS
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Think your essays and past class notes
are worth more than just a letter grade?
Think not. Selling class notes, past tests,
or even essays breaks the student code of
conduct that can lead to expulsion from
the university and the entire CSU system.
A recent press release from Bridget
Blanshan, the Dean of students here at
CSUSM, discussed that CSU students
had participated in selling class notes to
a third party site for money. According
to the press release, this is prohibited
under student code of conduct section
41301 of title 5 of the California Code
of Regulations. The penalty includes
expulsion. "Unauthorized recording,
dissemination, or publication of academic presentations (including handwritten notes) for a commercial purpose."
Students may think selling lecture
notes seems to be a practical way of
getting some extra cash for academic efforts, but if caught, the penalty
can cost them their entire education.
"If a student took time to study and
is willing to sell their class notes, it is
their prerogative. It becomes an issue
on personal integrity and it shouldn't
be the school's responsibility to intervene," said Kristen Collins, a senior majoring in Biology and Political Science.
Expulsion is a permanent separation of the student from CSU student
status from the California State Uni-
versity system, as stated by Chancellor Reed in his 2009 Memorandum of student conduct procedures.
Countless businesses try to entice
students to give up their academic integrity by advertising to sell course material on a share system of helping other
students through stresses of college.
"I can see how it becomes a controversial issue, if a student is responsible
and goes to class everyday and takes
his/her own notes versus a slacker that
can just buys the notes from someone
else, its not fair," continued Collins.
Sharenotes.com states on their
website that their environment allows students to share, download, or
buy notes, study guides, written reports and other course material for
all subjects from over 100 colleges.
"Working at the bookstore, I notice
all the new textbooks and how much
each semester the class materials change.
It must be hard to sell class notes that
keep up with the changes," said Collins.
The student conduct case generated
by the Associate Vice President and the
Dean of Students for 2008-09 indicates
that there were 113 incidents reports of
academic misconduct referred by faculty.
Though the nature of all these incidents
are not explicitly detailed, three resulted
in suspension and 51 resulted in academic
probation. These incidents show a 79 percent increase from 2006-07 to 2008-09.
trip. You get a great experience,
make new friends, and visit new
places while helping others."
This year's trip to Washington D.C. will allow students
to "get a chance to work with a
great organization like Habitat
for Humanity and help build new
homes for those in need," said
Gallegos. "Along with working
during the days at our home sites,
we provide opportunities for the
students to attend different activities at night to see what there is
to see. Even though it is a week
of service, it still is Spring Break,
so we still want to have fun."
CSUSM is just one of the many
universities nationwide that takes
part in this service program, as it
provides. students more options
considering what to do for their
school breaks. Organizations like
Habitat for Humanity have also
benefitedfromsuch generous outpouring of support from students
who have all contributed in making a difference. Megan Carlier
said, "It is such a humbling and
fun experience, and it makes
you realize how truly lucky you
are; that is something we all
seem to forget now and then."

The Sampus resourcesfin CSUSM shootings
afety o the wake of school
Reviewing c
BY FAITH ORCINO
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
On Oct. 8, shots were fired
at Kelly Elementary School in
Carlsbad. Many of the young
students were on the playground
during the shooting, but only two
were injured. Local construction
worker Carlos Partida stopped
the gunman, Brendan O'Rourke,
with his truck. Steven Kane,
a co-worker of Partida, helped
Partida restrain the gunman until the police arrived. After a
mental evaluation, O'Rourke
was booked into jail on several
charges including two counts
of attempted murder and having a firearm in a public school.
A judge from the Vista Court
later arraigned him on Oct. 13.
In a country where people
have therightto ownfirearmwith
a proper license, there are reports
of criminal accidents concerning
people firing or simply carrying
guns every month. In September, the Automated Regional Justice Information System (AJIS)
recorded 38 armed robberies,
which is a decrease compared to
103 reported in August 2010. Fortunately, no one died at Kelly El-
ementary, but it was not the same
situation in other school shootings.
Since the Columbine shootings in 1993, schools have updated their security staff and
systems. Some have local police close by and even have several security guards on campus.
School faculty and staff do their
best to prepare themselves and
their students for all possibilities. Teachers train the students
on the appropriate actions during earthquakes, fires, and any
other dangerous
situations.
That's the situation in most
elementary and high schools,
but what do you do in the independent world of college? For
some, it has been years since
they last reviewed the steps of
a school lock-down. Luckily,
California State University San
Marcos has several resources
for everyone in the campus
about awareness and procedures.
The campus police offer the
Active Shooter Preparedness Presentation. This lecture informs
students on how to report a person with a live firearm and find
safety. Some GEL classes have
the presentation, but for the students outside of the class, they
can simply go to the CSUSM
website and head over the University Police Video Series page
to watch the "Shots Fired Video."
If you do see any crimes, simply
call 911 or the campus police at
(760)750-4567. Especially right
now, with the mountain lion
warning, UPD is a good number
to have programmed into your
cellular phone. CSUSM updates
the campus alert system once information is given about events.
The school also has a program
called Cougar Watch where anyone can call the police about suspicious activities. Members of
campus police are also available
to escort you from anywhere on
campus to your vehicle or resident
hall, between the hours of dusk
and dawn, if you ever feel unsafe.
According to the CSUSM
University Police mission statement, their job is "to protect our
campus community above all
else." Even though classes may
be hectic, rest assured student
and faculty safety is guaranteed.

An abridged voter guide for the upcoming California state elections
COMPILED BY SANDRA
CHALMERS, JENNA JAUREGUI, AND AMY SALISBURY
In light of the upcoming elections, The Pride compiled short
explications of the state propositions we feel will most directly
affect CSUSM students. To
learn more about the propositions and the groups that support and oppose them, visit
h ttp://voterguide.sos.ca.gov/.
Proposition 19: Legalizes
marijuana under California but
not Federal law. Permits local
governments to regulate and tax
commercial production, distribution, and sale of marijuana.
Prop 19 seeks to legalize marijuana within the state of California. It would allow people 21
years of age or older to possess,
cultivate, or transport marijuana for personal use. Marijuana
would remain illegal if the person possessing the substance was
on school grounds, smoking in
public, or in the presence of minors. Prop 19 would still prohibit

Those opposed include California Taxpayers Association.
Proposition 26 would issue a
requirement to have two-thirds

includes certain taxes which may
or may not result in a revenue.
These fees differ from taxes as
they are used only to aid in government services. Advocates suggest that these fees need to use
the same regulatory guidelines
as taxes, which include a twothirds vote. Prop 26 is estimated
to decrease state budget by having such rigorous requirements
to support new revenues fees.
Supporters include, California

those opposed include, California

�BY REBEKAH GREEN
PRIDE STAFF WRTIER
Pumpkin carving may be a
long tradition started in childhood
for some, while to others, it may
be completely new. Either way,
pumpkin carving is a simple and
fun way to put your creativity on
display for the Halloween season.
The practice of pumpkin carving is a tradition that spans the
length of centuries, though its
association with Halloween is a
little more recent. People used to
carve and light objects like gourds
in order to welcome the spirits of
loved ones while also using the lit
creations to keep out unfriendly
spirits. This once specific activity
has expanded to many places and
fallen under quite different intentions nowadays. Needless to say,
pumpkin carving may just be the
one Halloween pastime that can
be enjoyed at any age, in any way.
It can also be a complicated
process, depending on the complexity of the design you attempt
to carve. As with most art projects,
the possible ideas and designs are
endless, so the basics are a good
place to start. The tools used to
carve pumpkins can consist of
everyday kitchenware and tools
found in the garage. Large,knives
are helpful to remove the pumpkin stem and large spoons will
make removing the pumpkin's
innards easy and quick. Pencils
and markers can be used to layout
your design before you start to
carve. Check out Google for sites
that have downloadable stencils to
get you started. As for the design
details, it all depends mostly on
what you want for the pumpkin.
Here are some tips to begin the
baSic pumpkin carving process:
1. Cut around the stem of the
pumpkin, carving in a slanted position to keep the lid from falling in.
2. Next, scoop out the pumpkin's insides (to make it extra
clean, use the scooping spoon to
remove any extra pumpkin seeds
and scraps off the inside walls).
3. After figuring out the side
you want to place the design on,
sketch out the design with a pencil
or pen. Carve out the shapes with
a knife, then push the pieces out.
4. When lighting your pumpkin, use a candleholder, place
it carefully inside, and watch
your
jack-o'-lantern
glow!
For more information on the
carving process, check http://
www.pumpkincarving 101 .com.
Creative stencils can be found
at sites like DLTK's Crafts for
Kids (http://www.dltk-holidays.
com/hallo ween/mpatterns .htm).
Now that you have the basic steps down, the rest is up to
individual creativity. Remember that pumpkins will not last
forever and will dehydrate and
rot, so take pictures right away
to document your creations. If
you intend on extending your
pumpkin's preservation there
are many methods to keep it
from rotting. The PumpkinFresh spray-on preserver is one
cheap option for postponing the
inevitable a little longer (http://
www.pumpkinfresh.com/).

�Women's Volleyball coach landsfirsthead coaching job at CSUSM
Sarah Gustin back in SoCal to ignite the program
BY MICHAEL RAWSON
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
nection to the sport," she said
about her first coaching gig. "I
wanted to give back; I ended
up falling in love with the profession. It's a fun job for sure."
From there, things began to fall
into place. "Jobs just started coming to me, and it worked out nicely," Gustin muses matter-of-factly.
Assistant positions at the College of Charleston and Cal Poly
led to her most recent title of assistant coach at the University
of Indiana. She has also traveled
as a coach to Croatia, leading
an American squad in a global
challenge, and in 2006 served
as the assistant coach for the
USA Junior National A2 team.
Regardless of the exotic and
faraway places in which she has
coached, Gustin is impressed
Some people never in*
tended to become parents.
Some people never intended
to become volleyball coaches.
It
just
happens.
After nearly four perfect years
playing Volleyball for Michigan
State University, in which she
made the all Big-Ten Conference
team three times, Sarah Gustin
suffered what would be a careerending injury. She moved back
to Southern California in 2000
and signed ojx to be an assistant
coach at Vista High School/Less
than 10 years later, she has been
hired to initiate the women's volleyball program here at CSUSM.
"I really felt a strong con-
lowest level of collegiate athletics, it's really just a separate entity, and Gustin says playing in the
association will be far from easy.
"It'll be tough that first year.
[NAIA teams are] equivalent to
the Division II teams we're going to be playing in 2012. A lot of
them could beat Division I teams."
Still, she is clearly excited about the year ahead of
her. The keys to everything
have been handed over by the
school, including scheduling
games, administrative duties,
and even designing of the uniforms (the team recently signed
with Adidas), which she promises will be "something cool."
Gustin is ready for the challenge here, and she has an
idea of what it will be like.
with what CSUSM has to offer.
"I love it [here]. It's an
easy place to sell for recruiting. It's a great place to work."
Speaking
of
recruiting,
consider Gustin the resident
expert in San Marcos. She
also spent her time at Indiana as the recruiting specialist.
Her recruiting here will
mostly be done locally, an area
that she says is "so rich in talent." But she may bring in recruits who have contacted her
from as far as Oregon and Arizona because "everyone wants
to live in Southern California."
Like the other sports programs,
Gustin's Volleyball team will
spend the 2011-12 season as an
NAIA independent. Though the
NAIA is often thought of as the
"I have a very close Mend
who started a [NCAA Division
II] program four years ago. I re¿nember when he took the job I
said, 'you're crazy, why would
you want to start a program from
scratch?' And then I didn't think
about it until I took the job, but
he called me and said, 'Hey,
crazy.' He's been a great confidant to bounce ideas off of."
Likewise,
with
Gustin
on the sideline, expect Volleyball games to bounce
the Cougars' way in 2011.
Women's soccer celebrates Homecoming with 3 -2 win over Embry-Riddle

Embry-Riddle drops to 6-9-1.
It was a big contest between
two conference rivals, and while
the Cougars weren't at their best,
they were good enough to win.
CSUSM out-shot Embry-Riddle
18-6, and held a 10-0 corner kicks
advantage. The Eagles' defense
saved three balls off the back
line, keeping the contest close.
But the Cougars did manage
to get a pair of shots past, both in
the first half. In the 19th minute,
Shelby Bush was taken down in
the box and CSUSM was awarded a penalty kick. Taylor Ziencina calmly finished the opportunity to put the Cougars up 1-0.
Less than 10 minutes later, Rachel Schulte found Lauren Johnson making a run down the center of the field. Getting between
defenders, Johnson loaded up and
blasted a shot from about 20 yards
out that rocketed past the keeper and into the back of the net.
The goal is Johnson's 10th
of the season, giving her sole

"It feels great," said Johnson after the game. "All the

Paprika (2006)
The late Satoshi Kon released his animated mind-thriller "Paprika" in 2006. Based
off the novel Paprika by Yasutaka Tsutsui, the movie travels between the world of
dreams and reality. In the film, Dr. Atsuko Chiba and her staff experiment with a machine called the DC Mini. Using the DC Mini, Chiba—also known as Paprika—and
her patients enter their dreams. One day, the DC Mini machine goes berserk and the
dream world begins to come to life. It is up to Paprika to find the reason why the experiment failed in order to stop the mayhem before the dream world engulfs the real world.

Karas (2005)
Tatsunoko Production made the original video animation (OVA) "Karas" in celebration of the company's 40th anniversary. The film concentrates on a supernatural
community living under the radar in the midst of human society in modern day Shinjuku, Tokyo. When the Shinjuku police department receives several cases of mysterious deaths throughout the city, they are unaware of the local demons responsible for
the murders. As the tension between the two realms increase, character Yurine awakens the new guardian Karas. Karas must now restore balance between natural and
supernatural, while protecting his own life. "Karas" is a masterful piece of film
work with an interesting blend of 2D anime and*3D computer-generated images.
The character Karas can also be found in the Wii game "Capcom VS: Tatsunoko."
Let the Right One In (2008)
The second best thing from Sweden after Ikea, is John Ajvide Lindqvist's vampire horror-romance, "Let the Right One In." Released internationally in 2008, the film, directed
by Tomas Alfredson, follows 12 year-old Oskar, a loner, tortured at school by a band
of bullies, and Eli, his neighbor, also 12 (in vampire years)* who Oskar discovers is a
vampire, responsible for the grisly murders happening in their Stockholm suburb. The
pair form an alliance based on Oskar's vow of secrecy in exchange for Eli's protection
from his tormentors at school. Thefilmadheres to traditional vampire folklore but injects
it with an unsettling darkness, broaching themes of death, disfiguration, pedophilia, and
violence. A metaphoric iceberg, it takes more than one viewing to even begin understanding the psychological weight of this story. The subtitles make the film a literary
experience, and although the premise outlines a budding romance between human and
vampire, the film transmits an intensity that "Twilight" lovers Bella and Edward will
never touch. An American remake - "Let Me In" - is set to be released later this year.

AUDITION
The Blair Witch (1999)
The premise of the film may be simple: three film students attempt to uncoyer .the secrets and truths about the legend of the Blair Witch only to go missing and never seen
again, save for the discovered film footage of their camera. But the execution of this
film is where it exceeds clichés and expectations. The terror that students Heather,
Michael, and Josh experience in the Black Hills Forest of Maryland are drawn out in
hand-held style, dark, quiet and realistic, leaving the fear up to the viewer's imagination. The Blair Witch Project is a film that still chills viewers eleven years after its release, and it is a great film to revisit in time for this coming Halloween.

Audition (1999)
Based on Ryu Murakami's novel of the same name, "Audition" was directed by Takashi Miike in 1999 and is one of the most multilayered and prolific horror films made.
This Japanese film is incredibly different from the constant blood and gore that Hollywood produces. Without relying on graphic violence, "Audition" takes its time to
slowly build up tension, twisting the story in directions you never thought it would
take. While the film is visually mild in comparison to most slasher films; it's the concepts presented that will haunt you well into the night, with visuals burned into your
memory. Immediately recognizable by those who've seen it, you need only mention the burlap sack scene for people to know exactly what film you're talking about.
By the time you get to the end, which features the most unbearably visceral torture
scene in film history, you'll find yourself wondering why what you. With incredible acting and voyeuristic camera angles, Miike's "Audition" is a disturbing masterpiece that will have you needing serious mentally preparation for a second viewing.

Acting as more of a prequel of the
2007 film of the same name, "Paranormal Activity 2" follows a family that
has a deep connection to the characters
of the first film. While the film delivers
plenty of surprises that will have you
jumping out of your seat, the overall
experience will leave you feeling just as
empty and shortchanged as thefirstfilm.
Without spoiling the film's events,
"Paranormal Activity 2" tells the story
of the Rey family. With their one-yearold son Hunter and teenage daughter
Ali (Molly Ephraim), Daniel (Brian
Boland) and Kristi (Sprague Grayden)
find their lavish home quite literally
shaken from a mysterious supernatural
force. Each reacting to the unnerving
events differently, the family is slowly

footsteps resounding upstairs, pans falling, and a myriad of creaking sounds.
It isn't until things get out of control
that Daniel makes a dangerous decision that gives way to the 2007 film.
With a new writer (Michael R. Perry) and director, "Paranormal Activity
2" functions in exactly the same way
as the first. You may jump from a few
scenes that are designed to garner that
exact reaction, but by the time the film
is over, you will feel just as disappointed
as you did upon leaving the first film.
The film succeeds in making you tense
and nervous and as long as you can get
past the complete failure of the sudden
ending, you will have a great time being
creeped out by basement doors and dark
staircases, making "Paranormal Activity 2" a great film to see for Halloween.

C reative f ilmmakers s hare t heir w ork
BY CHRIS GIACAMILLI
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
This Spring, Cal State San
Marcos will be holding the sixth
annual Student Media Festival.
The Student Media Festival
is a celebration of thefilmsof
the creative minds on campus.
The Visual and Performing Arts
Department hold the event each
spring on campus.
The festival allows students
to use their creative prowess to
produce afilmfor an audience.
Furthermore, the festival highly
encourages students to participate and submit their works for
the chance to gain recognition
from their peers. It also gives
students the opportunity to be
discovered by those in the film
industry seeking new talent.
Many entries will be accepted,
however only a jselect few will
be presented at the festival itself.
The festival grows each year,
so students are encouraged to
polish their films early in order
to increase their chances of being
featured.
The pieces are judged by a
jury of fellow students in a number of categories, which include
Best Social Justice Project, Best
Personal Memoir, Best Experi-
mental/ Performance Work, Best
Narrative, and Best Documentary. Past winners of these categories have received prizes such
as Apple Store gift certificates,
computer software and hardware,
and cash prizes.
Students from all majors are
welcome to participate and place
their entry in the festival and are
free to choose their own subjects.
However, thefilmtopics are
dependent on the category they
are competing for. Subjects in
the past have ranged from the
lighthearted such as bowling,
cats, and jabs atfilmproduction
to more serious topics like drugs,
cancer, and foreign culture.
Johnathan Berman of the
Communications Department explains, "What's great about this
festival is that it showcases and
celebrates the creative work of
students from across the campus
and allows us to share this work
with fellow students, friends,
family, teachers, staff, and industry professionals."
The festival is open to the
public and admission is free and
will be catered with free beverages and food. Last year's festival
was hosted by actor Jose Yenque
who has beenfilmedin programs
such as "Law" and Order: S VU,"
"CSI: Miami," and the 2000 film
"Traffic."
The deadline for turning in
films is in the spring, so there is
plenty of time to start working
on entries. The festival will take
place sometime at the end of the
Spring 2011 semester.

Six Best Halloween Costumes of
2010
1. Lady Gaga
2. Avatar's Na'vi
3. Jersey Shore Characters
4. Harry Potter Characters
5. Vampires/Twilight Characters
6. Alice In Wonderland Characters
Six Worst Halloween Costumes of 2010
1. Giant Baby
2. Darth Vader
3. Ethnicities
4. Lady Gaga's Meat Dress
5. Male Crotch Outfits
6. "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's" Greenman
Here's Why:
Lady Gaga - Who doesn't
want an excuse to wear a
blonde wig and no pants?
"Avatar's" N a'vi - The film didn't
clean out the Academy Awards f or
nothing. If you're thinking of going fantastical, there is nothing
more supernaturally magical than
being an electric blue humanoid from a different dimension.
"Jersey Shore" Characters - Dressing up as your favorite Guida/o
is probably the best way to pay
homage to the show we are all
secretly - or not - obsessed with.
"Harry Potter" Character - Deep
down inside, a lot of us are still
waiting f or our letters from Hogwarts. /Shedding our muggle attire f or one night helps us embody our inner witch and wizard.
Vampires and "Twilight" Characters - You read the books.
You
watched
the
movies.
You have the soundtracks.
You own a "Team Jacob/Edward" shirt. You are Twilight.
"Alice in Wonderland" Characters
- Lewis Carroll's story has been retold in so many different ways by so
many different people, i t's only fair
to have your say in the representation of literature's wildest tea party.
Here's Why Not:
Giant Baby - because they freak
people out. Adults in diapers are
very
unattractive... and
creepy.
Darth Vader - Because it's hard being social with a mask on, and to take it off would
defeat the purpose of even attempting to be
old Darthy. Plus, you risk sounding like a
smoker who has just conquered the Cesar
Chavez plaza stairs on campus. Not hot.
A Black Person, when you are not - There
is always someone every year at every
party that somehow thinks it is a good idea
to dress up as a black person eVen though
they are not black. BAD IDEA, even if
you do not mean it in an offensive way.
Lady Gaga's Meat Dress - She might be
popular, but forgetting this outfit will do
the rest of the world a favor. Recreating
the meat dress outfit Lady Gaga wore
to the MTV's 2010 VMAs this year is
not only gross, but highly un-hygienic.
You might as well wear fresh road kill.
The male crotch "outfits" - Whether it's
a horse peeking out from a stable saying
"petting zoo" or a tossing ring game, it's
highly arrogant to think anyone will want
to ride that pony after such a crude invitation. Ironically, these costumes are pricey
(considering how little fabric is used).
Greenman - Famous from "It's Always
Sunny in Philadelphia," the costume is
an awkward green tight spandex unisex
body suit that does not show your face.
Its body-hugging form shows a little
more than people would like to see and
makes it hard to eat, drink, and be hit on.

known as geocaches that are usually full of cool little trinkets.
Geocaching was created in
2000 by computer consultant
Dave Ulmer of Beavercreek,
Oreg. All he wanted to do was
test the accuracy of his GPS by
hiding a small canister with a
few trinkets and a logbook in the
woods near his house. After doing
so, he uploaded the coordinates
of the canister online, and asked
people to try to find it. His Internet challenge was a great hit, and
soon picked up speed all across
the country and then the world.
Today, geocaching has become a common social outing
for groups of all ages. There
are many great websites that allow for an easy download of
geocache locations all over
the country. Geocaching.com
is one of the most well known
sites. It utilizes Google Maps
to help display the available
geocaches, and allows people
to comment and rate each geocache by difficulty and accuracy.
In the San Marcos area alone,
there are over 500 geocaches
that are ready and waiting for
teams of treasure hunters to find
their hidden goodies. And when
I say "goodies," know that it is
a very loose term. I have found
everything from bullet casings
to a Fraggle Rock beer cozy.
A common misconception with
geocaching is that the GPS tells
you exactly how to get to the
geocache. That is so very far
from the truth. It points to the
exact location of the geocache,
but it is up to the hiker to get
there. Figuring out which trails
lead to the geocache and how
to find the geocache makes the
experience that much more fun.
The only deterrent to geocaching is the initial price of purchasing a GPS unit. I was at?le to find
one on Amazon.com for under
$75 that has worked extremely
well during my geocaching excursions. And for those who
aren't too sure about the small
investment, try alternative GPS
methods, such as a cell phone.
While the GPS won't necessarily
be as accurate, it will still provide
you with a decent enough device
to track down the geocaches.
If you are looking for

There are two different types of

assess your personality and help
figure yourself out. This questionnaire consists of 66 questions, most of which ask you to

This questionnaire was made to
help students understand the type

of the questions ask about grade

In addition to these services,

eventual goal will be 30 scheduled games, Saia said, as well as
to add a few more home games.
Given that the new campus

stages, the athletic department
is still working on where to host
home games. Possibilities include
Palomar College, Mira Costa
College, and local high schools,
although a college would be preferred since high school courts
have slight differences in size
and would need to be adjusted.
Wherever they play, expect to witness Cougar victories with Saia at the helm.

Based on the true story of how
the social networking site Facebook was created, "The Social
Network" is the most culturally
relevant film of the year, managing to reflect and define a generation. If you think for one second
that a film about Facebook will
be a pitiful way of capitalizing
on the popularity of the site, you
couldn't be more wrong. David
Fincher ("Fight Club" and "The
Curious Case of Benjamin Button") takes a story of what easily could have been a simple
handful of pretentious characters with the inability to socially
connect, and created an exciting and fascinating story about
the cracks within human nature.
The film begins at Harvard
with Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse
Eisenberg) using his internet blog
to lash out at the girl who dumped
him. His drunken anger leads him
to create a site that rates his female peers according to their hotness, crashing Harvard's system
and bringing him to the attention
of the Winklevoss rowing twins
(both played by Armie Hammer). Mark is hired by the twins

�Halo: Reach revisited
Discovering a new multiplayer experience
BY JIMMY PIRAINO
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
"Halo: Reach," the latest iteration of the video game franchise "Halo," has finally made
its debut on the Xbox 360. Developed by Bungie and Microsoft Game Studios, Halo: Reach
brings the player more of the
now-classic sci-fi shooter action,
but with plenty of upgrades and
tweaks to the game play to keep
the action fresh and exciting.
The last issue of The Pride featured a review of the single player
campaign of "Halo: Reach." This
article's focus is solely on the
multiplayer experience. While
the single-player campaign made
great strides in terms of story and
graphics for the franchise, its effects on the video gaming community pale in comparison to
the newly upgraded multiplayer
experience Bungie developed.
In previous versions of
"Halo," the multiplayer was al-
ways broken up into two game
playlists: Ranked and Social.
While both sections allowed players to rise in level, i.e., "Captain"
or "General," only the ranked
players would be able to reach the
highest levels available in game.
This created a divide between
many gamers, as the atmosphere
and difficulty of the Ranked and
Social playlists differed greatly.
Bungie, in one of many recent
great decisions, combined the two
sections to help quell the dissent.
The ranking system remains and
has been given new rewards at set
points to help encourage players to
keep pushing to that higher level.
In each game, players earn
credits for completing certain
tasks. The tasks range from getting a certain amount of kills in
a match, to surviving for a certain amount of time in a level
without dying. Bungie also introduces daily and weekly challenges that, if completed, give the
player a large amount of credits.
Once players earn enough
credits, they can purchase upgrades to their Spartan avatar,
which is visible to the other players in online matchmaking. The
upgrades are merely cosmetic
and do not give the player any
advantage over another, but as in
previous "Halo" games, the customization of the player's armor
is a time honored tradition,^¡vith
many armor upgrades unlocked
only after completing certain
challenges and achievements,
which are worn like a badge
of honor among the players.
Along with the added customization to the player avatars,
Bungie also adds several new
game modes, bringing some
much-needed diversity to the online game play. The cooperative
Firefight mode, which involves
four playersfightingagainst wave
after wave of enemies, allows for
a completely new type of online
play. Instead of competing against
other humans, players can team
up to fight the computer while
still utilizing the online features.
My favorite online feature is
one of the smaller tweaks to the
online matchmaking system. In
previous "Halo" games, there has
been a rather priifitive system
that players used to vote for or
against the current online level.
If the consensus was negative, the
players would then be thrown into
another completely random level
whether without the option to vote.
Bungie heard the complaints
loud and clear. Before each
game, the players can now vote
for one of three presented levels
and game types, with a fourth
option to see new levels. And
if the voting players pick to see
new levels, they are presented
with three new choices instead of
one permanent alternative level.
"Halo: Reach" has delivered
on all levels and provides the
player with a large variety of
game play and features to bring
a whole new generation of gamers back into the "Halo" universe.
"Halo: Reach" is available
now for the Xbox 360 for $59.99.

"Bones: Season 5" (Unrated)
"A Nightmare on Elm Street" (R)
Freddy Kruger is back (this time played by
Jackie Earle Haley) in "A Nightmare on
Elm Street," marking another remake of
Wes Craven's 1984 horror film of the same
name. The film follows the previously established story line of a group of teenagers
^ ho find out that they're all being terrorized
in their dreams by the same man due to actions made by their parents when they were
children. With laughable acting, an extreme
emphasis given to Kruger's possible pedophilic nature, and Haley trying desperately to
rip the same terror from the audience as the
irreplaceable original Robert Englund, this
film only succeeds in being a weak attempt
to recreate afilmthat needs no reproduction.
NEW CD RELEASES
With the sixth season newly underway, the
DVD release of season five of this Emmy-nominated crime-drama series could not come at a
better time. Heavily steeped in the symbiotic
relationship between forensic anthropology and
criminal justice, the series continues to follow
the exploits of main characters Dr. Temperance
"Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and FBI
Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz),
as well as the excellent supporting cast including Michaela Conlin, T J. Thyne, John Francis Daley, and Tamara Taylor. Featured in this
season is the 100th episode (directed by David
Boreanaz) that allows the audience to see the
beginnings of Booth and Brennan's relationship,
the Gravedigger (the villain of season four) on
trial, the rekindling of romance between Angela and Hodgins, and finally ending the season
with the characters going their separate ways
temporarily. Be sure to catch new episodes of
"Bones," airing Thursdays at 8 p.m. on FOX.

has not let the band's hiatus stop himfromcreating music. Flowers revealed fearing that if he stopped playing music for a year, it might
"mess him up." Onfirstlisten, this record seems like a mash up of ten songs thrown onto an album. By the second or third spin through "Flamingo," the songs become infectious melodies that stick in your head. "Crossfire" is thefirstsingle off the record and sounds much like The
Killers. The rest of the disk pays homage to Flowers's home town of Las Vegas. The record is a blend of alternative, country, jazz and pop.

Jimmy Eat World - "Invented"
- David Geffen Company
It has been three years since Jimmy Eat* World's smash album, "Chase This Light," dropped. The band has bounced
between record labels for many years, but for "Invented," Jimmy Eat World seceded from former major label Interscope Records to create the fresh, emotional rock Jimmy Eat World is known for. The band teamed up with producer Mark Trombino, who has produced three other Jimmy Eat World records, including the infamous "Bleed American." Long time fans will be ecstatic to know Jimmy Eat World has taken "Invented" back to their glory days, recycling
the mellow guitar riffs that made "Clarity" a love-at-first-listen album in 1999 and chant-friendly high school anthems
of "Bleed American." Their first single, "My Best Theory," is already number twelve on the Billboard rock charts.

�n octurnal Festival
BY SUS ANNE BERGSTEN
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Saturday Sept. 25 Insomniac held its 16th annual Nocturnal Festival at the National Orange Show Events
Center in San Bernadino, Calif.
42,000 attended the rave/
festival, braving the heat wave.
The festival had Alice in Wonderland as a theme. It had five
stages and large art installations and sculptures with fire.
Several great artists and DJs
performed at the festival, such
as Steve Angello, Ferry Corsten,
ATB, Dada Life and Pretty Lights.
This year Insomniac offered
free water refills for everyone,
keeping attendees hydrated and
dancing all day into the warmnight.
The audience seemed electric
throughout the 11-hour festival.
With the many fast beating
songs, lights, crazy outfits, carnival rides and dressed up entertainers, it seems like Insomniac
could live up to calling it "wonderland." When Steve Angello
played Swedish House Mafia's
"One," the audience seemed to
get into a frenzy, likewise with
ATB when they played Ecstasy
and managed to blow a speaker.
As soon as the sun set, the out-
S
Œ
door tents filled up at the speed
of light. Angello who housed
"Alice's House," a massive two
story black tent with 78.000
square feet of room to dance and
shuffle, together with Eddie Halliwell, D. Ramirez and Dada Life
gave people no reason to leave.
Festival goers had to dip their
heads into "the Labyrinth," another one of the outdoor stages,
to check out Ferry Corsten,
ATB and Markus Schulz, who
were blasting music in a hot,
white tent with massive speakers and an euphoric crowd.
If the 110-degree weather had
made you tired, the lawn next to
the pond at the entrance seemed a
good place to rest while embracing
the magic of the moment, looking
at people passing by in their minimal outfits with candy (bracelets)
up to their armpits or watching people getting light shows.
At the end of the night, confetti was raining down, lasers
were pointing everywhere, fireworks blasting somewhere in
the warm nighs sky, and the bass

Autumn is upon us, and that means fall
sports and midterm exams. Healthy and delicious, smoothies are a quick snack option
to power up for a workout or recover from
an action-packed game. Even non-athletic
students can benefit from these energizing
drinks, reaping a sharp attention span, focus, and brainpower for tacklirlg classes
and homework. Packed with nutrition and
incredible flavor, individuals can customize theflavorof their smoothies by varying
the main ingredients. Fruits and vegetables
are easily blended to frothy perfection—if
you haven't yet invested in a blender, do
it! This one appliance will allow you to
create hundreds of smoothie recipes for
any time of the day, promoting a diet that
will keep you performing at your best.
The basic smoothie has three main
ingredients:
Fruit and/or vegetables
Liquid: (milk, yogurt, fruit juice)
Ice
The specific nutritional benefits will depend on the ingredients you use—athletes
should consult their coaches for guidelines
on what to include in their smoothies. In
general, a smoothie should contain a protein
(from dairy or soy products, or a supplement
such as whey protein) and a variety of fruits
or vegetables for maximum nutrition. Get
creative #nd think about what ingredients
might create new and interesting flavors.
Nutritionist Lindsay Barnes, co-author of
the book "Smoothies and Ice Treats," recommends using fresh fruit and vegetables,
and using low-fat dairy products for the
healthiest smoothies. Flavor and consistency will depend on the amount of each ingredient used, so experiment until youfindthe
perfect blend for your palate. Here is a delicious smoothie recipe to get you inspired:
Berry Avocado Smoothie
Vi avocado, peeled and sliced
1 cup sliced strawberries
Vi banana
1 cup milk or soymilk
Vanilla extract and honey, to taste
Ice, about 4 cubes
Making a smoothie requires just the
press of the button. Blend all the ingredients until you reach the desired consistency, then taste to check the flavor. You
can refrigerate any leftovers and re-blend
to enjoy with your next meal. The above
recipe is a Cookin' Cougar original—check
recipe websites or smoothie recipe books
to get more ideas for your own delicious
blended treats. Ciao, my smoothie sippers. Let's raise our glasses to good health!

FEATURES EDITOR
I had no idea what to expect
when I attended Stick Together.
I knew there would be choreographed movement accompanied by a percussion group all
the way from Switzerland. If
you saw the signs around campus or read a preview of the
event, and you harbored any
fears of unintelligible modern
ballet and a single man hitting a
drum with his hands, you're not
alone. But Stick Together made
those fears completely baseless.
It wasn't just a performance; it
was a story about humanity told
through dance and every type of
percussive instrument I've ever
seen, and at least a few I've never
seen. Each piece had a name that
provided some clues to its meaning, though like any good art, it
made each person in the audience feel something unique and
personal. The opening number,
Transparency, started with human beings trapped in boxes,
glowing with light from beneath
them. To try to explain what happened after this point is almost
impossible. Individuals came out
of boxes. They got back in boxes. There were jerky individual
movements after the "birth" of
escaping the glass boxes, then
smoother movement with the beginnings of cooperation between
couples. As in life, however, the
level of refinement that brings
individual grace immediately
turns into a pressure to conform.
Dancers would do something
breathtaking as individuals, only
to be copied by the other dancers. It was beautiful, frustrating
and relatable all at the same time.
There were slow, somber
dances where the dancers seemed
serious, or even emotionless.
There was a quick dance, filled
with smiles and bright costumes
that seemed to radiate happiness.
In short, there was a little of everything. Adults in the audience
were giving their full attention,
homework and text messages
briefly forgotten, and the children
in the audience looked fascinated.
But to speak just about the Mojalet Dance Collective is to completely ignore the
other half of the
evening. Rhythm
Talk is currently in the OS on
tour from Olten,
Switzerland.
I
have never seen
people so jubilant
about playing the
drums. But the
word "drum" is
overly simplistic.
There were gongs.
There were cymbals. There was
a piece with the
rhythm set by a
berimbau, a musical bow I've
never seen used
outside of Brazilian
capoeira
performance.
It was a dy-
namic performance that I doubt
sounds exactly the same twice.
It's not the first time the groups
have worked together. Faith
Jensen-Ismay, the artistic director of Mojalet Dance Collective,
and Noby Lehmann, the main
composer for Rhythm Talk, met
in 2006 when Jensen-Ismay and
her collective were performing in
Switzerland. "By 2007, they were
here to do a tour project with
us," Jensen-Ismay said. Now the
group is back for another whirlwind tour of performances and
master classes. Before the performance at CSUSM, the two groups
taught a master class on campus,
sponsored by the Dance Program .
Rhythm Talk's newest album,
also entitled "Stick Together," is
filled with names from the places they visited in 2007, such as
"Oceanside" and "Diego Dance."
"There's just a lot of inspiration
here," Lehmann said. "Normally,
we make music, then choreography. But here, we can work
together. Faith sends me choreography, and then I make music."
If you missed "Stick Together" at CSUSM, there are still
two more chances to catch the
performance. There will be two
free shows at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido, on
October 6th at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.
The shows are free, but tickets
are first come, first served starting an hour before each performance. The California Center
for the Arts, at 340 N. Escondido
Blvd., is a fifteen-minute drive
from campus, or two Sprinter
stops and a fifteen-minute walk.

STUDENT LOANS: OUR LAST SOURCE
Student dependence on borrowed money rising
BY ASHLEY DAY
PRIDE STAFF
WRITER
In today's world,
some American college
students have no choice
but to take out student
loans to fuel their
secondary education.
With institutions dangling "instant" money
accompanied with low
interest rates, students
have an enticing offer
that develops debt very
early in life.
Parents, teachers
and elders tell youth
that attending college
and getting a degree
is the key to success.
Anthony P. Carnevale,
a research professor
and director of Georgetown University Center
on Education and the
Workforce, said, "College credentials are now
a prerequisite for a middle class lifestyle."
According to the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, 70.1 percent of

majors have anything
to do with taking out a
loan. Students depend
on loans to live. If that's
their only means to pay
for education and to
survive, then they have
to go with it."
More than 50
percent of the student
population relies on
loans to fund their way
throughout college.
Some of the reasons
are their parents make
too. much money, as
determined by the
federal government,
or students' parents do
not support them at all.
These students decide
to take on a loan. A
clock on iinaid.org ticks
the balance on" student
loan debt. 850 trillion
dollars is the latest estimate. Even so, this does
not stop students from
taking the loans.
" I'd rather be taking out loans for school
than not being able
to go to school at all.
Education is the most
important thing anyone

and I 'm not going to
let the fear of being in

The Annual Health Expo
BY MAYA LIFTON
PRIDE STAFF
WRITER
Thursday was a good
day at Cal State San
Marcos as the annual
health expo took place
in the library plaza.
The fair provided
free food, massages,
contests, and much
more. 40 different organizations showed up
to this event, each holding individual booths,
which offered information on a particular
aspect of health.
Some of these organizations included North
County health services,
Children's Physicians
medical group, The
Clarke, and the Nürsing
department.
The nursing department had information on
the amount of calories a
person should be taking
in per day. This number
is based on your height,
weight, and gender.
Chelsea Witwer, a
nursing student who
helped put the booth
together, told The Pride
a shocking probability.
"You don't think about
what you're drinking.
You can drink over half
your calories per day,
and people don't know
this," said Witwer.
People are misinformed about the
amount of sugar drinks
contain. They tend to
misjudge the effect one
drink could have on the
body and drink to no
limit. As a result, this
misinformation has led
to the obesity problem
we face today.
Witwer also provided information
pertaining to the amount
of calories certain drinks
have, such as Starbucks
coffee and Coca-Cola.
"Between Starbucks
coffee, Coca-Cola, Budweiser beer, and Snappie Iced Tea, Starbucks
has the most calories."
Even so, Witwer said
there are 10 tablespoons
of sugar in a Coca-Cola.
A Better Tomorrow,
another organization at
the expo, is a treatment
center that specializes
in substance abuse and
helps treat addiction.
Eric Miller, the intake
coordinator, said, "We
work with the major
insurance companies.
We are one of the largest
providers of substance
abuse treatment centers
in California.
"Our facilities treat
any kind of addiction,"
Miller said. "We also
have an [adolescence]
program and work with
kids under the age of
18."

Fun, fit, a nd fabulous
ASI Campus Recreation offers a variety of fitness classes
BY JENNA JAREGUI
DIGITAL MEDIA MANAGER
From Sept. 20 to Dec. 10,
you can take your pick of a variety of fun ways to exercise—and
the classes are FREE to CSUSM
students! Faculty must pay a fee
of $60 that allows access to any
of the classes for the semester. Sign up for your choice of
Ashtanga yoga, "Cardio Kick,"
indoor cycling, hip-hop, zumba/
salsa, line dancing, Jiu-Jitsu, or
"AB. Blast" at the Campus Recreation Center (TheClarke 119).
Indoor cycling will be held
on brand new equipment at the
University Village Apartments,
and hip-hop dance and line dancing are both new and exciting options that will be joining student
favorites like zumba and yoga. If
you can still think of an excuse,
here are five unbeatable reasons
to join a class without delay.
1) It's free! We mentioned it
earlier, but this means completely free. Unlike gyms that might
offer martial arts classes, but
charge for equipment, all classes
will provide you with the gear
you need while you're at Clarke
Field House. It's also a way to
save money by stopping your
membership somewhere else.
2) It's on site. You're already
on campus, and no matter where
you are on campus, Clarke Field
House is a short walk away.
3) It's a fun way to add some
newness to your life, whether
that means new exercises, new
workout buddies, or both.
4) A little exercise will actually make writing papers easier
- no joke! British research has
shown that mid-day exercise will
enhance your mood and make
you more productive.
5)The classes are built to suit
everybody. "If you're a beginner,
you're going to receive the basic
instruction to get the basics. If
you're more advanced, these
are going to be classes in which
you'll be challenged to learn new
things," explains Hugo Lecomte,
head of Campus Recreation. "All
the fitness classes are very inclusive and suitable for all levels."

Exploring CSUSM's Farmers' Market
BY JENNA JAUREGUI
DIGITAL MEDIA MANAGER
In a world of pre-packaged,
frozen edibles, farmers markets
are a fresh reminder of food's
more natural origins. Comprised
of many different vendors selling
their locally grown and homemade wares, farmers' markets
offer consumers the rare opportunity to purchase food and goods
direct from the source—fostering
a human connection between
consumers and those who
nurtured their products to ripe
perfection. This creates a unique
shopping experience that keeps
you, the environment, and the local economy strong and healthy.
CSUSM hosts the San
Marcos Certified Farmers' Market once a week. The market just
celebrated its first anniversary,
and hopes to continue raising
student awareness and support of
its services. Lome Scott, who
manages this market as well as
those in Valley Center and City
Heights, describes'the market as
a "nice environment," offering
an exciting sensoiy experience
of colorful sights, delicious flavors, and pleasant conversation.
According to her, the market
includes around 25 vendors selling "handmade artisan jewelry
and clothes, really good artisan
bread, local honey, an awesome
variety of hummus, homemade
butter with garlic, rosemary, or
basil, sweet almond butter that's
awesome on pancakes, award
winning salsa with chips and tortillas, tamales, smoked fish with
flavors that will really knock
your socks off, oils, balsamic
vinegars, stainless steel water
bottles, really cool woven bags
for shopping, and all kinds of recycled stuff and environmentally
conscious items."
If the food itself isn't
enpugh to entice you to explore
the plethora of outdoor stands,
Scott invites students to consider
the economic benefits of shopping at the farmers market. "The
.dollar spent on a local business
in the community has three times
the impact on the local economy
than if that money gets spent
in a nationwide chain or big
box store," she said. The more
support the market receives, the
more it can expand and gain
more vendors. Buylocalthinkglobal.com describes how buying
local food from farmers' markets benefits the environment as
well as the economy. The site
explains, "Transporting food
long distarlces uses an incredible
amount of fossil fuel that releases
pollutants into the atmosphere
contributing to global climate
change and air pollution." Fresh,
locally grown food is also a
better choice for a healthy lifestyle. According to Scott, "The
majority of the nutrients are still
available when it's fresh, where
as when it's been sitting around
on the grocery shelf for a week,
the nutrients get
reduced every day
after it is picked.
The more alive
your food is, the
more alive you
are!"
The
CSUSM Farmers'
Market is held
every Wednesday
afternoon in the
front parking
lot off Craven
Rd. Its operating
hours are 3 p.m.
to 7 p.m. and 1
p.m. to sunset in
the winter season.
Visit the market's
information booth
to learn about the
Fresh Fund Program and other
options available
to federal assistance recipients
(WIC, SSI, and
EBT). The farmers' market also
offers demonstrations and
activities ranging
from cooking
demos to musical
performances. To
receive advance
notice about these
events, sign up for
the e-mail list at
the market. Notices will be sent
weekly on Wednesday morning.
Next on the event calendar is a
dance demo on September 22.

Farmer's Market special: bruschettà
BY JENNA JAUREGUI
DIGITAL MEDIA MANAGER
Farmers' markets are steadily gaining popularity as more
people venture out from under
the grocery store's fluorescent
lights and into the world of
open-air shopping. Featuring
locally grown and often organic
produce, farmers' markets are
the perfect place to find fresh,
healthy choices and support the
local agricultural community.
The farmers' market experience
stimulates every sense—the
colorful array of food, the free
samples of homegrown goods,
and the pleasant conversation
with local growers all
help you to remember
where your food comes
from and appreciate its
roots.
During this late
summer season, local markets have an
abundance of tomatoes, herbs, and other
garden goodies. This
week's recipe features
ripe tomatoes and fresh
basil. According to
healthfood-guide .com,
tomatoes are high in
lycopene, a powerful
antioxidant that helps fight cancer. Studies have also suggested
that tomatoes may help fight
aging and degenerative diseases.
Fresh, organic produce from the
farmers market guarantees that
the tomato's nutrient power is"
at its peak! What better way to
highlight this juicy fruit than a
delicious batch of bruschettà?
Although the name may sound
fancy, bruschettà is one of the
simplest, quickest ways to use
your farmers' market finds.
Enjoy this tasty Italian creation
as an appetizer, a side dish, or a
hearty snack!
Fresh Bruschettà
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 tbs olive oil
2 large ripe tomatoes, finely
chopped
Vi cup chopped fresh basil
Vi cup crumbled cheese (like
feta,ricotta,or goat cheese)
salt and pepper to taste
crusty bread
Combine garlic, olive oil,
chopped tomatoes, and basil until
well mixed and season with salt
and pepper. Spoon onto slices of
warmed, toasted crusty bread and
serve. Feel free to experiment
and add olives, onion, or other
extras to the tomato mixture! Savor the fresh taste, and appreciate
that your ingredients were grown
with extra love and care.
Ciao, my bruschettà babes!
See you at the next farmers'
market!

scoreless in tie

The men's soccer team took a
big step defensively on Wednesday night, holding #22 The
Master's College to a 0-0 draw in
double overtime.
But they sure could have used

the open field. CSUSM out-shot
Hastings 22-4 and held a 6-3
advantage in corner kicks.
The game's lone goal came
late in the first half. A nice buildup resulted in Natalya Erbel
feeding a pass to Rachel Schulte,
who knocked it across the face
of the goal to Lauren Johnson.
Johnson expertly controlled the
pass, and from the right side of
the goal finished with a slicing
shot past the keeper into the leftside netting.
That would be all the scoring, as the second half saw the
Cougars generate plenty more
chances but not quite be able to
finish. Keeper Kaycee Gunion was rock solid as usual in
net, making a pair of saves and
consistently making the right
decisions.
Cougar women's soccer will
face a big test this Wednesday at
home against Point Loma. Kickoff is at 3 PM.
Pulvers' side spent most of the
game in the middle of the field.
The two teams traded mostly
weak chances during regulation.
Three minutes into overtime, Master's pushed the ball
up toward the Cougar goal. A
Mustang player went down near
the 18-yard line. The foul looked
like it could have been a free
kick, but the official pointed to
the penalty box. Andie Reyes
easily put the chance into the
right corner past All-American
keeper Kaycee Gunion, who
dove left.
"For me, in an overtime game
like that, you have to be one hundred percent committed to the
penalty," said Pulvers. "I thought
there were too many questions
about whether or it was or not
for it to be called, [but] we put
ourselves in a bad spot on that
particular play."
"And whether the penalty
was a penalty...that's certainly
a questionable situation, but we

Late Comeback Comes Up

Playing in front of a big crowd in
Santa Barbra, Cal State San Marcos men's
soccer came up short against a good
Westmont team, losing 2-1 on the road
last Saturday.
CSUSM is now 2-3-1 on the year.
Westmont is 3-0-2.
The Cougars got into a 2-0 hole, starting with a penalty kick goal from West-
mont Doug Harrell in the 39th minute.
Westmont added its second early in the
second half, as a corner kick was headed
into the lower corner of the net by Anthony Niboli in the 59th minute.
CSUSM would respond though, as
Sterling Petersen scored following a
throw-in in the 79th minute, giving him
his first goal as a Cougar. But CSUSM
couldn't notch the equalizer, falling by
that 2-1 margin.
Kevin Ernst made 6 saves in net for
the Coguars.

The Walkmen - "Lisbon" - Fat P ossum /Bella Union
The Walkmen had their start in 2000 and are now approaching the release of their sixth album, "Lisbon." Having been together for nearly 10
years, The Walkmen's unique sound has been compared to that of The Cure, but they continue to stay themselves while making new additions
to their sound with each album, choosing to break away from the more familiar independent and garage types of music like The Hives or The
Strokes. They toured in support of their album to a few festivals last spring, including All Tomorrow's Parties in England, and Lollapalooza in
Chicago. This month, The Walkmen are touring around the U.S., as well as Vancouver and Toronto, Canada. In support of their new album, The
Walkmen are selling copies of "Lisbon" with original designs from etsy.com (check them out! http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheWalkmen).
Weezer - "Hurley" - Epitaph Records
When you see the cover of Weezer's new album there is no need to double take. Indeed, it is a photo of Jorge Garcia also known as "Hurley" from
the television series "Lost." Whether or not there is a connection between this character and the album, "Hurley" is Weezer's eighth anticipated album.
Weezer as a band has existed since 1992 and although they have expressed influence from The Pixies, Nirvana and Green Day, with each album their
sound manages to stay original, yet always evolving. "Hurley," which is up for preview on their Myspace (http://www.myspace.com/weezer) shows off
Weezer's signature rock sound that still manages to be new and even fun. The album also features Michael Cera providing back-up vocals on one of the
tracks. The deluxe edition of "Hurley", which can be purchased on Itunes, includes a few bonus tracks and a cover of Coldplay's "Viva la Vida."
Linkin Park - "A Thousand Suns" - Warner Bros. Records
These days one needs only to mention Linkin Park and the tunes of "In The End," "Faint," and "Numb" begin
ringing through ears. September 14th is the release date of their latest studio album "A Thousand Suns." Linkin
Park, already known for their impacting lyrics and unique musical style, seem to have done it again. Many critics
already praise this new album for its sound and impressive writing. Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda continue
to share vocals, which can be heard on the album's first single "The Catalyst," released this past August, along with
other songs on the album. The band also worked off of their influence from the renowned hip-hop group, Public
Enemy. Following "Minutes to Midnight," "A Thousand Suns" cumulates nearly two years of writing and recording
into a fourth full-length album from the band known for their mixture of rock, rap and other devices, making Linkin
Park a name to be recognized.

"Letters to Juliet" - Gary Winick
"Just Wright" stars Queen Latifah as Leslie Wright,
a physical therapist not seeking to "belong" to a man,
living with her god-sister Morgan. Rapper Common
plays Scott, a professional basketball player who takes
a romantic interest in Morgan. Following a threatening
injury that could affect Scott's career, he begins to see
that Morgan was only in interested in him for the money and fame, and that Leslie, his new physical therapist,
is the one who truly wants what is best for him and
his future. The chemistry between the two actors (and
music icons) flows well within the story and the feel of
the film. This i s director Sanaa Hamri's seventh film,
following works such as "Something New" and "The
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2." "Just Wright" is a
film with a simple romantic plot that still has its charms.
Sophie Hall visits Italy with her fiancée and encounters romance in a very unexpected way, turning
into a sort of "Juliet" after finding a lost letter amongst
the many love letters placed in the supposed real home
of Juliet Capulet. Following this discovery, Sophie
eventually finds the sender, Claire, and decides to help
the woman find her long lost love, Lorenzo Bartolini.
Along the way Sophie too discovers more about herself and her feelings as she travels alongside Claire's
grandson Charlie. Director Gary Winick's previous
works include "13 Going On 30," "Charlotte's Web,"
and "Bride Wars." Amanda Seyfried, Chris Egan and
Vanessa Redgrave star in this sweet tale of discovering

Based off of the "Prince of Persia" video

the story of Dastan and his discovery of a
sacred dagger that can turn back time. With
this knowledge he winds up on an adventure
with a princess named Tamina, and unveils
a web of political treachery amongst his
own family. This film comes from director

(producer of the "Pirates of the Caribbean"

APP OF THE WEEK
NetNewsWire
BY JIMMY PIRAINO
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Ever get tired of going to your favorite blogs and
news sites only to be bombarded by pop-up ads and useless blinking banners? Well Mac, iPad, and iPhone users
now have a way to enjoy their favorite news stories without the advertisements, using the simple app NetNewsWire by NewsGator Technologies.
NetNewsWire, described by Dan Frakes from Macworld.com as "A stellar example of a newsreader done
right," is a simple application with a smooth interface
that brings you your favorite blogs and news using Really Simple Syndication.
Really Simple Syndication, more commonly known
as an RSS feed, is a blog format that gives a bare-bones
display of a website, keeping the news and blog posts
while shaving off the ads. NetNewsWire takes these RSS
feeds and combines them into one simple-to-use interface, so whether a user looks at one blog a day, or 50,
they won't miss a single story.
There are several features of NetNewsWire that help
the app stand above the rest in the RSS reader market.
First, and most importantly, the app is free for the Mac
and iPhone. Both are supported by ads, which are shown
in the bottom left corner of the app. NetNewsWire also

user's favorite stories and blog posts with friends. NetNewsWire also has a full-functioning web browser built
into the app. This feature helps minimize the wait time
when opening a link from a news story, or when loading
the source from within the app.
My favorite feature of NetNewsWire is also one of
the most simple and overlooked. Just like Google Gmail,
a user can "star" their favorite stories in NetNewsWire to
save for a later read date. This feature becomes increasingly useful with each new RSS feed a user subscribes

it is hours later can be, and usually is, a complete chore.

R ESIDENT EVIL:
BYMILAPANTOVICH
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
"Resident Evil: Afterlife" is
the fourthfilmin the "Resident
Evil" series, based off of the
popular video game franchise.
With three films preceding it,
«T one would assume that the story
has beenfinelytuned and perfected with years of experience.
However, what the audience gets
instead is afilmcompletely lacking in story, credible dialogue,
believable characters, or any
sense of depth beyond the welldone 3D animation. With characters speaking in stilted military
commands and a story that grows
tedious and repetitive, the film
seems to only be a 3D platform
for returning writer and director,
Paul W.S. Anderson.
The film follows Alice (Milla
Jovovich) in her continued, and
nearly pointless, struggle to take
down the Umbrella Corporation.
Alice spends the beginning of
thefilmin search of Claire (Ali
Larter) and the rest of the survivors that she was separated from
at the end of the previous film.
The group had gone in search of
the elusive Arcadia, a place of
promised refuge
from the dangerous T-virus that
turns people into
zombie-like monsters. Upon finding
Claire, Alice joins
a group of people
who are trapped in
the middle of Los
Angeles, surrounded by the infected
masses, with no
way of escape.
Within this group
of stock characters
is an ex-sports star
(Boris Kodjoe),
an arrogant Hollywood producer
(Kim Coates) and
his timid intern
(Norman Yeung),
and Chris (Wentworth Miller), a
man with familial
connections to
Claire that come
across forced and
entirely of convenience. Together,
they discover the
reality of Arcadia, while Alice
is unknowingly pulled into yet
another evil plan, orchestrated by
the film's lifeless evildoer Albert
Wesker (Shawn Roberts), of the
Umbrella Corporation.
Like the past
"Resident Evil"
films, the plot suffers
greatly to the importance of the special
effects used to give
thefightscenes more
impact. The director
Paul W.S. Anderson
makes good use of
the James Cameron
and Vince Pace 3D
Fusion Camera
System that was
created for "Avatar,"
giving "Resident
Evil: Afterlife" a
visual depth that
allow the viewers
to feel a part of the
action onscreen,
thus being the only
aspect keeping them
from giving up on
thefilmentirely. The
use of 3D attempts
to distract the viewers from the complete lack of story
progression, where
nothing is gained in
the film and there
is little point behind anything
the characters experience. Slow
motion is used in nearly every
scene, quickly becoming an
annoyance by dragging on selfimportant looks shared between
characters as they shoot paths
through the infected zombies
closing in. The film can be broken into segments of fight scenes
that fail to connect with one another, quickly killing characters
off-screen, while moving along
at a hurried pace towards the
intended climax. However, with
the credits rolling 20 minutes
too soon, the end comes without
warning and fails to satisfy, leaving the audience without any sort
of resolution to the 97 minutes
they just endured.
When it comes to actual
story, there seems to be nothing
left to squeeze from the tired
"Resident Evil" franchise and
yet, the promise of a fifth installment ends the film as a looming
threat. There is no doubt that
another sequel is in the works,
preparing to throw Alice in the
middle another battle with an
unreachable end to the franchise.
Ultimately, the "Afterlife" that
the title promises is completely
joyless and without refuge - for
the characters and the audience.

and never lacking a smile. In contrast, security is very strict in order to permit a safe
atmosphere for people to enjoy their time without having any concerns. One great
factor about PB Bar & Grill is that there is always a diversity of new people to see and
meet, the vast majority being very friendly and outgoing, according to Karla Cordero,
a Liberal Arts major at CSUSM and a regular PB Bar & Grill customer. She states,
"I absolutely love it there, I also like the fact that I always meet new people and it is
very affordable for me as a college student. The drinks and the beach are the two main
reasons why I am there almost every Thursday."
The music they play differentiates every time from top 40 artists, to classic rock
and old school rap. "The music at PB Bar & Grill keeps me intrigued because they
play a wide variety every time I go, which I find remarkable since most places I have
gone to play the same tunes over and over again," said Karla.
In addition to their music, another attracting factor to the bar on Thursdays is that
they offer impressive prices on their food and drinks. Specials consists of sushi that
starts at $3.95 and, when one buys two or more rolls they get any popular or hand
roll free. Not to mention that after 8 p.m. all drinks are half off and shots are $3 off as
well. They do have other specials on a daily basis and throughout the week their menu
includes 20 types of drafted beers and ciders, along with appetizers, burgers, fries,
tacos, ribs, and chicken.
PB Bar & Grill has one of the most outgoing and fun atmospheres in San Diego
County. For the third consecutive year The San Diego Union Tribute has voted PB
Bar & Grill one of the top places to go for Happy Hour. They provide great service,

Since San Diego enjoys
beautiful, sunny weather for the
majority of the year, our city
is forced to mark the seasonal
transition from summer to fall in
other ways: the autumn Starbucks drink menu (delicious
pumpkin spice lattes return),
temporary Halloween stores on
every corner, and the town of
Julian's Apple Days Festival.
Located in the rural
mountains of San Diego, approximately 40 minutes from
San Marcos, Julian, a historic
gold-mining town known for its
pie and hard apple cider, comes
alive to boast its best asset to
visitors from all over Southern
California: apples. The Julian
Apple Festival will take place
on Oct.2 and 3 from 10 a.m. to
5 p.m. at the Menghini Winery
and will feature dancing, music,
a beer and wine garden , gold
panning demonstrations, tractor
displays, children's activities,
contests, apple pie, and the grand
coronation of a Mr. and Mrs.
Apple Days.
According to the Julian
Apple Days website, the festival
is more than 100 years old,
starting in 1909 as a celebration
to mark the town winning the
Wilder Medal, an award bestowed only to the highest quality fruit growers. Since then, the
event has attracted over 3,000
visitors every year and its apples
have upheld their award-winning
deliciousness.
Thinking of making your
own apple pie this fall? Take
some Julian apples home with
you by visiting Julian's Apples •
and Art Orchard. For $10 per
bag, visitors can spend the day
picking California-grown, pesticide-free apples straight from
the tree, Johnny Appleseed style.
Apples and Art Orchard requires
reservations and is only open

orchards in and around Julian

Ah, apples. Just the
word itself inspires a wealth
of images: bountiful baskets
of fresh-picked fruit, the warm
scent of fresh-baked pie, and the
crisp deliciousness of that first
bite. An essential part of any
fruit bowl, apples are chock-full
of health benefits that can keep
your immune system revved
as we head into colder months.
There's a reason why people say,
"An apple a day keeps the doctor away!" Health food website
whfoods.com says that an apple,
especially the skin, contains
several antioxidants that support
heart health. Containing only
about 80 calories each, apples
are a dieter's delight. Their high
fiber content helps to suppress
the appetite and control choles-
terol levels. They help
to stabilize blood sugar,
and eating a raw apple
can even help keep your
teeth clean!
Now that fall is
upon us, apple-inspired
recipes are enticing
people to the cozy
realm of their kitchens .
September marks the
peak of apple season, so
now is the time to enjoy
the fruit while it is in
its prime. Here are two
scrumptious ways to get
that homey, nostalgic
flavor of apple goodness
without the hours of effort.
Apple Pancakes
* 1 cup flour
* 3 eggs
* 1 cup skim milk
* 1 medium apple, cored
and sliced in thin rings
* cinnamon and nutmeg
to taste
Combine the flour, eggs, and
milk until they form a creamy
batter. Add the spices, and pour
by VA cup measurements into a
non-stick skillet. Place a few apple rings in each pancake before
flipping. Serve immediately
with hot maple syrup.
Microwave Baked Apples
* 2 medium apples,
peeled
and cored
* 2 Tbsp. butter
* 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
* 1 tsp cinnamon
* 1 tsp nutmeg
* Vi cup raisins or dried
cranberries
* Vi cup graham cracker
crumbs
Combine the butter,
brown sugar, cinnamon, and
nutmeg in a bowl until crumbly. Place the apples in a deep
microwavable dish with a tiny
bit of water on the bottom.
Sprinkle apples with the sugar
crumble and more spices if
needed. Stuff the cranberries or
raisins into the hole where the
core was. Cover with a lid and
microwave for 3.5 to 4 minutes
until tender. Cool slightly before serving. Top with graham
cracker crumbs. Serves 2.
Ciao, my apple admirers!
Many warm wishes from my
kitchen to yours.

Women's crosscountry both
finish in eighth place at UC Riverside

Cal State San Marcos men's

competed in their second race of
the fall on Saturday, with both
teams taking eighth place at the
UC Riverside Invitational.
CSUSM Women's
soccer plays Biola
to 0-0 tie
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
The goal-scoring drought
continued for CSUSM women's
soccer on Saturday, as the squad
played Biola University to a 0-0
tie in front of the home crowd at
Mangrum Field.
_
On the twelfth-ranked men's
side, for the second straight week
the Cougars beat their time from
last year by over a minute, finishing eighth with a team time of
2:07:29. Leading the way for the
second straight week was Western Nelson, who placed thirtysixth with a time of 25:04.
Next on the team was Brett
Campfield, who bested his time
from last week by a significant
margin, running 25:20 to take
fifty-sixth. The two-time track
andfieldAll-American should
continue to make an impact in
his first season running crosscountry for the Cougars.
Third on the team was Jonathan Alpizar, who placed sixty#13-ranked CSUSM is now
4-1-4 on the season. Biola is
3-2-1.
CSUSM has been struggling
to replace dynamic freshman
forwards Amy Young and Dani
Porter, both of whom are injured.
The Cougars have scored just
two goals in their last five games.
However, the squad has
posted a respectable 2-1-2 record

Maroon 5 - "Hands All Over" - A&M/
Octone
Maroon 5's third album, "Hands All
REVIEWS
Over" (recorded in Switzerland), has had
a long journey since their last release ("It
Won't Be Soon Before Long"). The band
itself has come a long way since 2002, yet
they managed to get through the struggles of a newly formed band, eventually
claiming two Grammy wins. For this new
album, the band worked with Robert John
"Mutt" Lange, a notable producer who
previously worked with the likes of AC/
DC and Bryan Adams (who also happens to be Shania Twain's ex-husband).
"Hands All Over" blends the genres
of funk and rock in familiar Maroon 5
fashion. The band toured the end of this
past summer, and beginning Oct. 6, they
will perform in many cities along the
west coast (see http://www.maroon5.com/
shows/ for more show dates). Singles
"Misery" and "Give A Little More" were
released this past summer and both songs
will be accompanied by music videos.

blends electronic, hip-hop experimental
genres to create unique ambient sounds
and remixes. "Pattern+Grid World" follows his third album "Cosmogramma,"

"WALL S TREET: MONEY NEVER S LEEPS"
BY MILA PANTOVICH
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
When Oliver Stone
released "Wallstreet" in
1987, he introduced a film
about stock markets that
functioned very much like
a political thriller. Now,
23 years later, Stone has
released the long-awaited
sequel, "Wallstreet: Money
Never Sleeps." Like "Wallstreet," Stone places the
sequel firmly in the middle
of an economic crisis and
uses the panic and confusion felt in the industry
to give the story an edge
that is felt personally, if
only slightly understood,
by many Americans. With
visuals of stocks plummeting in a business that
depends upon greed and
dishonesty, Stone uses the
story of a broken family as
the backbone and heart of
the film.
"Wallstreet: Money
Never Sleeps" presents
the economy as a series of
fast-paced split screens,
showing the rapid rise and
fall of companies through
cheesy animation and
diagrams. Filming stock
traders as if they are mobsters, Oliver Stone gives
a sense of foreboding to
board meetings filled with
arrogant young traders who
continue thinking they're
in control of the rapidly
declining market. Stone,
himself, has a small cameo
as a trader and Charlie

A REVIEW OF

BY JIMMY PIRAINO
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
"Halo: Reach" is the story of
the beginning of the "Halo" saga,
but truly, it marks its end. With
the separation of game developer
Bungie and publisher Microsoft
Game Studios, another "Halo"
game created with the same
craftsmanship and quality will
likely never grace the Xbox 360
console. With that sobering fact
in mind, "Halo: Reach" delivers
where all the other "Halo" games
fall short.
"Halo: Reach" is the prequel
to the "Halo"
trilogy, directly
preceding the
events of the
original game.

The story
takes place on planet Reach, a

untouched by war. But when
Noble Team is sent to investigate
an attack by local militia, they
discover that the Covenant, an
alien race led by religious zealots
that call for the annihilation of
the human race, is to blame.
What is initially believed to be

a planetary invasion of unimaginable force. What ensues is
a battle for the very survival of

throughout the game.
The most noticeable improvement is the graphics. The level
designs are spectacular. Bungie
used a cross between handpainted backgrounds and graphic
animation to bring a new depth
to the world. "Halo: Reach"
escaped the confines of its predecessors by using much more
diverse color schemes, which
make the dramatic sequences pop
that much more on the screen.
To help draw the player deeper into the experience, Bungie
pumped Noble Team with as
much diversity as possible. Each
Spartan is entirely unique and the
player quickly grows attached to
each member. But it isn't only
the team members that get an
overhaul, the player's character
does so as well. Several key cut
scenes have the player viewing
events through Noble 6's eyes,
bringing them so much closer
to the action and the persona of
Noble 6.
The single player experience
also includes highly upgraded
enemies. Gone are the days when
enemies' only tactic was to stand
still and fire at the player. The
enemies in "Reach" are given
the same abilities and skill as the
player, making the game much
more challenging and exciting.
Whether they are trying to flank
behind the player's position, o r.
sending in holograms to try and
flush out the player, Noble 6 has
his work cut out for him.
But Bungie seemed to forget
about the intelligence of the
player's allies. On more than one
occasion a hapless ally seemed to
forget what they were doing, or
decided that running the wrong
way through a level was a good
idea. There were also several
instances where the ally seemed
to get stuck at an invisible barrier, leaving Noble 6 alone in an
enemy-infested area.
Bungie took great care to
throw in several new ways to
spice up the single player campaign. Flying through space in a
fighter jet protecting a space station from Covenant attack, flying
between crumbling skyscrapers
in a helicopter to rescue trapped
Marines, or
even dodging
enemy fire to
fix defensive
turrets, Reach
is sure to keep

The library plaza
buzzed with new and returning
students alike during the Leave
Your Mark fair last Thursday,
Sept. 2.
Under a white tent
sat more than 30 tables with
representatives from organizations associated with CSUSM.
The event's purpose was to
showcase many opportunities
for students to "leave their
mark" on the CSUSM campus
and further their involvement,
according to Student Life and
Leadership.
Student Life and
Leadership, SLL, sponsored
the event and coordinated a
mass photograph of incoming
freshmen on the steps outside
University Hall.
Free 20th Anniversary
t-shirts were distributed to the
freshman, and Crash the Cougar was front and center in the
photograph.
"Witnessing the first
year student picture was quite
a sight!" said Kathryn Hayes,
SLL student representative and
President of Sigma Tau Delta,
English Honor Society.
Hayes was pleased
with the success of the event. "It
was nice to see the enthusiasm
from thefirstyear students, as
well as returning students, going
through all the tables and taking
advantage of the hosted events,"
said Hayes.
SLL staff members
Joshua Galea'i and Jennie Goldman ensured that the event went
smoothly and all participating
parties were well represented.
Four rows of tables
beneath the tent offered information about their services from 11
a.m. to 1 p.m. while a live band,
Live in Los Angeles provided
music.
Hope and Wellness
Center, Math Lab, Writing
Center, Eco Club, and PRIDE
Center were but a few of the
organizations participating in the
event.
Melanie Slocum, a tutor
at the Writing Center, was happy
to have participated and predicts
the fair will have a positive
outcome on new students.
"Hopefully now
students won't have second
thoughts about using resources
like The Writing Center because
they were able to meet a few of
us and learn that we don't really
bite," said Slocum.
SLL's Weeks of Welcome events continue through
Friday, Sept. 9. For more information, visit the SLL office in
Craven 3400.

Communications and Mass Media now declared impacted
Competitive G*PA requirements now needed to enter either major
BY S ANDRA C HALMERS
E DITOR-IN-CHIEF
ROCKY
HORROR
REVIEW
A RTS A N D
E NTERTAINMENT, P. 8
Communications and
Mass Media have now been
added to the impacted majors
list this fall 2010. A total of six
majors are now impacted at
CSUSM: Communications and
Mass Media, both Bachelor of
Arts, join Business Administration, Kinesiology, Nursing, and
Human Development.
"Impacted" is a term
used to describe a major that has
more qualified students interested than can be accommodated
for. Since CSUSM wants to preserve a quality classroom experience, certain screening requirements are now being enforced.
In easier terms, Communications and Mass Media are
now in the top ten most popular
majors for CSUSM, showing
clearly that currently there is not
enough faculty support to supply
the demand of the students interested in either growing major.
Screening criteria includes a requirement of 60-se-
mester of baccalaureate-level
coursework applicable toward a
degree at CSUSM and completion of coursework equivalent to
the lower-division preparatory
coursework for the Communication and Mass Media major.
A list of the major prep
classes can be found at www.
csusm.edu/admissions/impaction/impactedmajors .html
A minimum GPA of
2.5 needs to be achieved in the
major prep classes in order for
students to apply and be accepted officially into the major.
Without completion of
major prep courses, and meeting
the minimum GPA requirements,
students cannot enroll in upper
division major core classes.
Since this limits freshmen and sophomores to even
declare Communications or
Mass Media until they have
finished the prep classes and are
in junior class standing, until
requirements have been fulfilled,
they can be admitted as "PreCommunications" or "Pre-Mass
Media."

bugs can be transferred in any

to check an apartment top to

things will settle down quickly.

out to the 411 on these safe havens and resource hubs for our diverse student body.
BY ROXANNE EUSEBIO

Here at Cal State San Marcos, there are three social justice centers that are open to all students. These centers are places on
campus where students can come together, hangout, do homework, and meet new people.

OATMEAL: SO CHEAP, SO SWEET!
BY J ENNA JAUREGUI
D IGITAL M EDIA M ANAGER
When faced with a tight food
budget, many college students turn to
Ramen noodles and the fast-food dollar
menu—meals that satisfy the wallet but
not always the appetite. If you are among
the droves of starving students who find
their bank accounts running dry after buying parking permits and textbooks, allow
me to introduce you to an old friend you
may have forgotten: oatmeal!
A delicious, hot comfort food, oatmeal
is an incredibly filling, nutritious grain
that can substitute as breakfast, lunch,
dinner, or dessert. According to versagrain.com, oats provide both soluble fiber,
which lowers bad cholesterol, and insolublefiberthat can keep you... "regular/' In
addition, oats boost your immune system,
provide several vitamins and minerals,
and may help prevent certain cancers.
Quick oats can be cooked in just minutes,
and smart shoppers can bring the price
per bowl down to mere pennies. Here
are three sweet ideas to zing up this great
grain and add even more nutrients.
Pumpkin Pie
Vi cup quick oats
A cup pumpkin puree
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
allspice, honey, and brown sugar to taste
Carrot Cake
Vi cup quick oats
VA cup shredded carrot (cooked)
2 tbsp. vanilla yogurt
cinnamon to taste
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie
Vi cup quick oats
1 packet hot chocolate
1 tbsp. peanut butter
l
Everyone prepares their oatmeal different ways—some like it hot, some like
it cold, some like it in the pot nine days
old (as the rhyme goes, though I do not
support that plan). Cook it how you like
it! Throw in some nuts, some fruit, or
whatever you think sounds delicious. Get
beyond the raisin rut! Pop the bowl in the
microwave, and you have a delicious hot
meal in just minutes. Have fun experimenting!
Ciao, my oatmeal-savvy students!

Robert Rodriguez is clearly doing what he loves to do most in "Machete," his most recent homage to the
B-films of the 1960s and 1970s. Derived
from a fake trailer that he created for the
"Grindhouse" double-feature released
with friend Quentin Tarantino, Rodriguez
took full advantage of every Mexican
stereotype he could think of, surrounding
them with needless nudity and absurdly
comical violence. The film is crude, disgusting, campy and immensely entertaining.
Machete (Danny Trejo) is an
ex-Federale who vows vengeance on the
drug lord, Torrez (Steven Seagal), who

spends his time
roaming a parking
lot in Texas looking
for work with other
illegal immigrants
from Mexico. He
finds himself hired
by the nasty and
conniving Booth (Jeff
Fahey of "Lost") to
assassinate the bigoted Texan Senator,
McLaughlin (Robert De
Niro). However, when
Machete realizes that
he has been used as a 4»
political pawn to further
Senator McLaughlin's
re-election campaign,
his need for retribution
is kicked into overdrive
and Machete is joined
by freedomfighterLuz
(Michelle Rodriguez),
Padre the priest who
knows how to wield
12-gauge shotguns
(Cheech Marin), ICE
agent (Jessica Alba) and Booth's junkie,
internet porn star daughter (Lindsay Lohan).
Instead of relying on plot or
character development, which are two
elements completely ignored in this film,
"Machete" depends upon the exploitive
humor of using Mexican stereotypes as
a running joke. With decapitated heads
flying, weed-whackers as weapons and
cell phones being hidden within orifices of
the female body, the only thing needed to
know about this film is that the plot is irrelevant and the humor is worth the ticket
price.

Interpol - Self-titled
Interpol's fourth studio album, self-titled "Interpol," is a perfect display
how the band has evolved since theirfirststudio album "Turn on the
Bright Lights" was released in 2002. Listeners will recognize the band's
familiar sound, but "Interpol" will touch on more orchestral inspired
sounds. This is also the last album including bassist Carlos Dengler who
decided to pursue new projects. Dengler had been with Interpol since the
band's beginnings. Thefirstsingle, "Lights," was released in May followed by "Barricade" released this summer.
Sara Bareilles - Kaleidoscope Heart
Ever since her single, "Love Song," hit the airwaves, Sara Bareilles gained top chart attention with her catchy tunes, relatable
lyrics and beautiful use of the piano. "Kaleidoscope Heart" is
Bareilles' second studio album with Epic Records, and the first
single, "King of Anything" gives off an empowering feel yet
still manages to sound upbeat and positive. Bareilles has also
released webisodes at www.sarabmusic.com, documenting the
process of making "Kaleidoscope Heart."

Chase banking customers and
iPhone owners can now enjoy an updated application from Chase that allows
customers to electronically deposit checks
into your account without ever visiting an
ATM machine or talking to a bank teller.
Simply take a picture of the front
and back of a check using your iPhone's
camera, and the app will use the picture to
read the amount and routing information.
If it is unreadable by the application, users
can manually enter the numbers, which
still saves you a trip to the bank.
The application also features a
new QuickPay service that allows users to
send money to anyone with an email address, regardless of who they bank with.
The service is free and does not charge
either party a transfer fee.
In order to use thefreeChase

to enroll in thefreeChase Quick Deposit

tons of fun. I do it because I get to see
myfriends,I get to meet new people and
make them laugh all night. Plus, I like
the attention when I'm running around in
my underwear," said Cassandra Klingbeil,
Rocky Horror Cast member since 2008.
The show begins with a humorous introduction explaining the show
rules, which aren't many. Then there's the
induction of the "virgins" who have never
been to a Rocky Horror Picture Show
before which often includes bananas, whip
cream and good 'ole fashioned spankings.
"First timers can expect confusion. Utter
confusion. Some of the stuff people are
yelling might offend them. Some stuff
might make you laugh your ass off," said
Cassidy. A few other games, such as "unhook that bra," will get the audience fired
up for the show.
The show will be anything but

audience member, you will yell callbacks,
throw stuff and dance the "Time Warp."
If you don't have things to throw or don't
know how to do the dance, don't worry.
Goody bags full of items to throw at specific times during the movie are available
to purchase for $2 and the "Time Warp"
steps are easy and the movie shows you
how to do it. "It's an audience participation movie. I stopped going for the movie
a million years ago. It's all because of the
people and the friendships you develop,"
said Cassidy.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
is held every Friday at midnight at La
Paloma Theater and admission is $9. The
second Friday of every month is Lingerie
Night, where cast members and audience
members come dressed in street legal
