Historic power outage affects millions
Jenna Jauregui
Co-Editor-in-Chief
A hush fell over Cal State San
Marcos last Thursday as every
air conditioner, fluorescent light,
and computer abruptly stopped
working. The campus went dark
around 3:30 p.m. when a highvoltage power line between Arizona and Southern California
failed, leaving 1.4 million San
Diego Gas and Electric customers suddenly without power.
T he unprecedented outage affected millions o f people from
Mexico to Orange County to parts
o f Arizona. All electricity users,
including stores, gas stations,
schools, offices and residences
were completely without power.
Traffic gridlocked throughout the
county as people tried to navigate
the lightless intersections. Due to
the initial mystery behind the outage_, the high volume o f commut-
ers and crippled safety resources,
county authorities declared the
situation a local emergency.
Because the sudden loss o f
p ower affected such a massive
area and occurred just before the
lOth anniversary o f 9/11, many
people were afraid the outage
may have been a result o f another terrorist attack. S DG&E
confirmed otherwise in a press
statement released on Friday.
" The p ower outage began with
a major transmission outage in
western Arizona that caused a loss
o f power to southern California.
Shortly afterward, the S an Onofre
Generating Station went o ff line.
As a resuJt, SDG&E did not have
adequate resources on its system
to keep power on across its service
territory," SDG&E officials said.
S DG&E announced at about
3:30 a.m. Friday morning that
power had been restored to many
o f its customers. C SUSM and San

million, according to the National

still investigating the reasons behind the widespread power loss.

Game3
The Cal State San Marcos women's soccer team is no stranger to
amazing success on the field.
Last year, the team ended its
regular season with a 10-2-5 record. Five players were selected
to play for the A.I.I. Women's
Soccer All-Conference Team
with head coach, Ron Pulvers,
named Coach o f the Year. The
new season started on a high note
as the NAIA announced in early
September that the lady Cougars were ranked 15th in the nation. Game after game, the team
proved what CSUSM women's
soccer is all about..
Again, playing another game
only three days later, the lady
Cougars faced off in Fresno
against Fresno Pacific. At first,
the game was a toss up with both
teams evenly matched. At the
start o f the second half, the Cougars came off the bench hungry
for a goal to keep their undefeated streak alive. Only minutes into
the second half, freshman Courtney Kay scored 1he games only
goal after Fresno's keeper lost the
ball during a free kick from just
outside the box by Shannon Cox.
Kay's goal was icing on the cake
as she celebrated her birthday and
kept the Cougars at a solid 3-0
start.

The season kicked off with
an impressive 4-0 win verses
Point Park. Last season's leading
scorer, senior Lauren Johnson,
opened the 2011-2012 season just
sixteen minutes into the game
with a goal o ff a c omer kick. The
Cougars managed to score three
o f its four goals before the end o f
the first half.
Game2
Playing only two days later, the
women's soccer team managed to
scrape by with a 1-0 win versus
Biola. The Cougars were outshooting Biola 14-8 but were not
able to convert until midfielder
Arielle Cohen took a free kick in
the fifty-fifth minute o f the game.

an interesting t urn for the Cougar's undefeated season when
both teams walked away with a

When The CSUSM women's
volleyball players hit the courts
for practice in !-lunter gymnasium,
the pride o f representing San Marcos will be the team's main drive
to push them through all o f the
hard work in its inaugural season.
Cal State San Marcos announced last fall that the athletic
department would be adding
women's volleyball to the university's growing list o f sports offerings. The team was slowly starting to commit players and a coach
before the start o f the fall season.
The young team, made up o f ten
freshmen, one sophomore, and
five juniors, will play all home
games at the Escondido High
School gyni until a larger Gymnasium can be built on campus.
" It is going to be a little hard
to play home games off campus, but it's also amazing to
think that Escondido supports us
enough to let us use their gym,"
freshman Tayler Gomez said.
One player does admit that
being a part o f a first-year team
and juggling class work does
occasionally come with some
pressure. "Becaus~ student athletes are such a small group on
campus, we really want to prove
that we can represent both the
student athletes and the school,"
sophomore Rachel Quam said.
Quam also reflected that even
though they are athletes, "school
work comes first. We truly
are students before athletes."
As their season enters week
four, the players are starting
to settle in on campus and find
their niche on the team. "We
have been focusing a lot on
team building, and I think we
have finally meshed as a team,"
freshman K iki Atuatasi said.
The most memorable achievements for the team have been their
25-22, 25-22, 12-25 scores, A
couple o f highlights include a 2523, stunning win over the number-one ranked Fresno Pacific as
well as a win over the number
seven ranked Lewis-Clark State.
The CSUSM W6men's Volleyball
team currently holds a record o f
13-5 and is set to play their first
home game o f the season at Escondido High School today at
8 p.m. vs. San Diego Christan.

Through the team's tough
0-3 start, Cal State San Marcos
men's soccer haS been unable
to catch a break. That changed
in the second half o f Monday's
game at Westmont, when the
Cougars were able to take advantage o f two miscues by the home
team and win the match 4-2.
CSUSM improves to 1-3 on
the year with the much-needed
victory. Westmont drops to 0-4.
Playing their final game at the
Westmont Heritage Club Classic to~ament, Coach Ron Pulvers' Cougars came out looking
to make a statement, and did so
almost immediately. Just one
minute into the game, a shot by
Alex Rodriguez was stopped
by the Westmont keeper, but
Scott Rice was able to punch in
the rebound for his first .career
CSUSM goal and the first goal
o f the season for the Cougars.
Rice was not content with one,
however: I n the 15th minute, AllConference midfielder Jake Kai-
ser served in a dangerous ball from
30 yards out, connecting with Rice
who headed it past the keeper.
Up 2-0 at the 15-minute mark,
the Cougars were riding high but were quickly reminded that
nothing thus far this s~ason has
come easy. In the 22nd minute,
a foul call on the edge o f the box
gave Westmont a penalty kick,
which was converted to make it
2-1. Westmont would tie it in the
34th minute on a goal from Emmanuel Akyen, capitalizing on a
stretch o f play in which CSUSM
was frankly a bit lucky to escape from without being behind.
But the second half would belong to the Cougars. Adjusting
to the super-direct style o f play
that served Westmont so well
late in the first half, Coach Pulvers directed his team to start
pressuring the back line to shut
down the long passes that had
been hurting CSUSM. The adjustment worked brilliant, as
not only did the Cougars tilt the
run o f play back in their favor,
they pounced on two mistakes
by Westmont's inexperienced
defense to score a pair o f goals.
In the 61st minute, a lazy pass
back to the keeper was picked
off by a very alert Eric Lopez,
who buried his first goal as a
Cougar to put his side up 3-2.
Another first-time goal scorer,
Sullivan Tobin, would ice the
match in the 85th minute, intercepting a pass on the back line and
striking a wonderful shot into the
comer o f the net from 25 yards out
to put CSUSM up 4-2 and close
the door on the team's first win.
K iki Castro picked up the win
in net for CSUSM, making a couple key. saves when the match
was 2-2 to preserve the victory.

Ways to s ave t his s emester
Ashley Day
Co-Editor-in-Chief
With America's current stale
economy, rising Cal State tuition,
expensive parking and skyrocketing gas prices, students need
to save as much cash as possible
this semester. Here are tips on
ways to save on textbooks, one
o f the hardest hitting expenses o f
college life.
R ent y our textbooks
Websites such as Chegg.com
and ecampus.com allow students
to rent their textbooks for a lower
price than purchasing the textbook. Chegg.com's mission statement is to save students money
and keep the cost o f textbooks to
a minimum. Also, renting books
allows the student to pick the
timeframe they want to keep the
textbook. The less time the book
is kept, the less it costs.
A mazon.com
Amazon offers a cheap marketplace for buying and selling textbooks. College students may sign
up for Amazon Student, which the
website reads "free two-day shipping for six months with Amazon
Prime shipping benefits, as well
as exclusive offers via e-mail."
Amazon also allows students to
a e mo
sell back their textbooks at the
end o f the semester, by signing up
as an Amazori seller. Students can
gain back a portion o f the money
they used to purchase the book.
Interlibrary Loan
Many students do not know
about interlibrary loans. I f you
go to biblio.csusm.edu or library.
csusm.edu (they are the same
website), there is a link on the
right column to sign up for the
interlibrary loan service. Students
can sign up for the service for
free using their campus ID and
password, then librarians search
through the San Diego library circuit to find i f other libraries carry
the book you requested. This usually works for novels assigned for
class, and the book is shipped to
your house in approximately less
than a week.
Course Reserves
Ask your professor i f they put
any o f the required course materials on course reserve. I f they did,
you many go into the third floor
o f the library and check out the
textbook for two hours. Students
are not permitted to leave the library with the book, but you may
copy the pages using a print card
on any floor o f the library. This is
a great option i f your professor
only assigned· a couple pages or
chapters o f the book . .
Share with a
classmate/friend
Save money by
splitting the cost
o f the book with
a classmate or
friend. Most people are happy to
share textbooks
with other students, i f they
are strapped for
cash.
I f you need
assistance
in
getting any required
course
mateials, talk to
your professor in
office hours; most
o f the time, your
professor
can
help you devise a
way to get what
you need.

There are several services the
LGBTQA Pride Center offers to
C SUSM students. One is education and free testing for IDV. To~
day, Sept. 13, at noon, the Vista
Community Clinic will hold their
presentation about t he disease
and give tips o n prevention o f
spreading it. The clinic returns
on Thursday, Sept. 15, for free
screenings from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.
Both events occur at the Pride
Center, Commons 201.
T hough scientists created many
medical breakthroughs over time,
disease and illness is a normal
part o f h uman life. While mv
(Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is not as widespread in the
United States as in other countries that are heavily affected,
there are a number o f new cases
in the country e very year. The
California for AIDS Research,
Education and Services (CARES)
reported in 2 009, S an Diego
County had confirmed 4008 cases, the third highest number o f
mv cases in the state. Los Angeles held the highest with 14,099
cases and S an Francisco followed
with 5,212 cases. With the help
o f educational talks and testing,
those nunibers can decrease in the
near future.
According to Keyatta P arker
and Gustavo Aguirre, health educators from the Vista Cqmmunity
Clinic, the t est is a simple and
non-invasive process. I t takes 2040 m.iDutes, a nd all information is
kept confidential. After filling_
out health forms., participating
students are given a kit with materials to swab the inside o f their
mouth. I t is a painless procedure
and is done in a private room inside the Pride Center. A fter thl(
waiting period, the administrator
hands· the student the results and
counseling and consultation are
available, i f the student needs
them.
" The goal is to normalize the [IDV] test,"
said Gustavo Aguirre.
A standard l llV test
involves drawing
blood and weeks o f
waiting for results.
Thanks to the program, more people
can be screened at
convenient locations
and times using the
painless oral swab test.
The program with
the Pride C enter first
started in March
2010. According

Fall semester at C al State San
Marcos signals a prime recruiting
period for Greek organizations as
new students look for ways to be
involved on campus. When deciding which fraternity o r sorority to
"rush," students should research
the history, requirements, and
standards o f e ach organization.
C SUSM recognizes three sororities (Alpha Pi Sigma, Alpha Chi
Om~ga, and Alpha X i Delta), and
two fraternities (Zeta Beta Tau and
S igma Alpha Epsilon). According
to a 2 008 memo from Student L ife
and Leadership Director. Dilcie
Perez, the fraternity Tau Kappa
Epsilon ( 'fKE) is no longer recognized on the CSUSM campus.
Alpha P i Sigma (.AIU:) is a
Latina based sorority. Its website, alphapisigma.org, states
its mission is " to unite and support women to advance academically ai:J.d professionally."
Alpha Chi O mega (AXO) is a
sorority dedicated to developing
" smart, compassionate, makea-difference women," according to alphachiomega.org. This
sorority makes a strong ·commitment to "academics, community service and leadership."
Alpha X i D elta (A3~) is a sorority with a vision: "inspiring
women to realize their potential." Its website, alphaxidelta.
org, states the organization's
commitment to developing its
members strengths and talents
within the sorority's sisterhood.
Zeta Beta Tau ( ZBn is " the
n ation's first Jewish fraternity," according to zbt.org. I t
is " open to all men o f good
character" and seeks to help its
members develop "intellectual
awareness, social responsibility, integrity and brotherly love."
Sigma Alpha Epsilon (~AE)
is a fraternity that touts the message " be true." Its website, sae.
net, states that the organization helps its members "fulfill
their educational aspirations and
goals," a nd promotes· programs
that teach "leadership, scholarship, and personal development."
Students can discover many
opportunities by joining a G reek
organization. C SUSM is proud to
host these fraternities and sorority chapters, but students must
remember to always be safe and
legal when representing their organization. H students have questions o r concerns regarding any
campus organization's activities,
they should contact Student Life
and Leadership (csusm.edu!sll).

I s ee heartbreak and heartache and yet I still linger for more.! crave
adventure, whether it be exploring a haunted forest at night or spending a day at
Disneyland. I 'm a thinker, a listener and a reader. I will get lost in a book; in the
me and definitely
pages o f someone else's mind. I have big dreams, bigger
bigger than any realist. Music speaks to me in a tone that no one else can. I can
give you all the advice in the world. but taking it, myself. is an obstacle I have
yet to overcome. I am fascinated by movieS and the way someone can literally
make their vision come to life astonishes me. I am a night owl and not a morning
person, but I love being awake early. I am a human IMDb and a contradiction.
More importantly: I write. Ernest Hemingway once said, "There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit at
a typewriter and bleed." I bleed a lot. I 'm Melissa.

Co-Editor-in-Chief
Most Americans ·remember
exactly where they were when
the towers fell in New York 10
years ago. The 9/11 attacks on
the World Trade Center in 2001
became the Pearl Harbor o f the
millennia! g eneration- America
watched and listened in shock
as the news coverage revealed
the devastation and horror.
On Sept. 12,2011, the
United States declared war, targeting the Afghanistan-based leader
group,
Osama Bin Laden.
Oct. 8, 2001 marked the
beginning o f President
Bush's "War on Terror."
A generation o f fresh veterans was born from this decision as young people saw
an opportunity to serve their
t ry ,
" I saw a need for medics,"
Navy Corpsman Mark Mallare,
a Cal State San Marcos student
veteran and kinesiology major,
said. "There were many opportunities in medicine after 9/11.
There were so many trauma patients that needed to be cared for."
Another opportunity that appealed to America's new military recruits was the new GI
Bill, which was revised after the
9/11 disaster to include more
benefits for those who serve.
Signed into law in July o f 2008,
the Post-9/11 GI Bill, or GI Bill
2.0, created a "new robust education benefits program rivaling
the WWII era GI Bill o f Rights,"
according to an overview o f the
bill at military.com/education.
The bill's benefits apply to "servicemembers who have served
on active duty for 90 or more
days since Sept. 10, 200 l ," and
are "tiered based on the number
o f days served on active duty."
Several revisions to this bill
came into effect in August 2011.
revisions include
full coverage o f
tuition and
public schools, including gradu~
ate training. I n addition, Students
may be reimbursed for national
exams such as the SAT, as well as
tests for licensing and certification. Some unfortunate changes
include the end o f " preak pay,"
which means students will not
receive monthly payments for
housing or other needs during semester breaks in the school term.
The Veterans Center at CSUSM
(c susm . edu/outreach/VeteransServices) exists to help student
veterans understand how to obtain these benefits as well as offer
a safe and friendly environment
that promotes camaraderie between military branches. Mallare,
who works in the Veterans Center, said he wanted to help people
in the same way people helped
him when he started at CSUSM.
"We give students peace o f
.mind and assist students with
their paperwork," he said. The
center offers computers, a friendly staff, and a television for students who just want to unwind
and hang out. "We are also looking to start a lending library t()
help students with their textbook
needs," Amber Bouge, who also
works in the Veterans Center, said.

P ut stuff in, stir it around, enjoy it o r hate it
F reedom o f t he p ress
I mportance o f m edia t ransparecy p ost 9 -11
As I sat down to write this article, I expected to offer commentary on the American media's
coverage o f the events o f 9/11.
The vast and varied ways that
television, film and print journalism told the story o f the attacks
made for extremely compelling
capsules o f information that still
have relevance all o f 10 years
later.
Within that commentary, I expected to be critical o f the media;
I wanted to explain why revealing the president's location on
9/11 and airing footage o f people
jumping out o f the World Trade
Center buildings was beyond the
responsibility o f media.
The more I considered the
subject, however, I uncovered a
different angle to this type o f response (which is rather common
among those who e xpress
an opinion, it seems). W h i 1e
many sought to criticize
the media for their ~- c o m prehensive c-overage
o f the
day's events, others
understood the
i ntent
p ortreal-
importance within a free society.
This concept o f "media transparency" is an irrefutable asset
to the American public. Should
the media cover up events in order to maintain an advanced state
o f public order or government
secrecy, the concept o f freedom
would cease to exist as fast as
true journalism would. Media, as
a service to the public, preserves
transparency so it may preserve
freedom.
All media outlets, from the
largest metropolitan newspaper
to the local dailies, have got toreport the whole truth. For the years
that I have been with The Pride,
I have experienced the good, the
bad and the ugly that comes with
covering events that happen on
campus. True journalism seeks
the whole story and reveals it accurately and ethically.
Journalists often feel confused
or threatened by the concept of
revealing sensitive or controversial information, but those in the
business o f reporting truth must
do just that.
As the editor of the Opinion
section, I encourage the students,
staff, faculty and community to
report truths by writing Letters
to the Editor ad-
readers
deem
important and
worthy o f exploration. Our

We all know what it's like to be
i n college with an empty wallet
after paying for books that cost
more than a car payment, tuition
that grows every time we check
our email and non-stop visits to
Chipotle and Chick-fil-A. So,
having fun somewhere without
having to ask mom and dad for
money is an offer no one can resist.
For those who rely on the
Sprinter to get from point A to
B; adventures in San Marcos
are hardly far. For some outdoorsy adventures, taking a stroll
through Jack's Pond located at
986 La Moree Road is a great
place to do homework, relax
and soak in the rays. The peaceful scenery and the sounds o f
nature can offer a place to kick
back and enjoy life or finish up
lab reports and next week's essay .
For those who are not familiar with ·the area, Balboa Park is
perfect way to get a taste o f true
southern California culture. The
tourist attraction offers beautiful
scenery to enjoy throughout the
day and it's perfect for snapping
photos for memories to frame
forever. Carousels, mini railroads
and museums galore are some o f
the attractions visitors are able
to choose from. The park gives
you the opportunity to have fun
exploring trails without burning
a hole in your wallet. Balboa is
perfect destination, whether it be
on a romantic night out or a day
with your family. Located just
40 minutes from CSU San Marcos, Balboa Park is a great place
to get away for the day and relax
while experiencing the beauty that San Diego has to offer.

CSUSM promotes civility on campus
Civility Campaign hopes to reform the university's sense of community
Kyle M. Johnson
Pride Staff Writer
At the start of this semester, the
Civility Campaign was organized and founded on the
CSUSM campus.
The campaign, led by the
Dean of Students Office,
promotes the essence of
community and the Values
needed to reach a strengthened sense of community.
This idealistic community is said to be reached
through the practice of a set
of values and respect.
'The university strives
to be a community demonstrating respect for oneself
and for others, treatment
of others with dignity, and
behaviors which promote a
physically and psychologically safe, secure and supportive climate enabling | ^
all community members to
engage as full and active ]
participants where the free
flow of ideas are encouraged and
affirmed/' the Civility Campaign
page on the CSUSM website
states. The campaign's committee
consists of roughly 15 members
comprised of CSUSM faculty,
staff and students. The committee lives by a pledge which states,
"As a member of the CSUSM
community I will conduct myself
with care, respect, and empathy
awarded to the winners of an opportunity drawing.
On the Civility webpage, students are also encouraged to nominate any CSUSM faculty, staff
while acknowledging the culture
and humanity of others."
During U-Hour on the first
Tuesday of every month, the
Civility Campaign hosts a tshirt day in which free shirts are
and students who display civility on campus. At the end of the
month, the committee will award

Margaret Lutz Chantung
California State University San

as the safest four-year university

Dominik Mazur,

overlooked
during the college
evaluation process. "
We believe it is important for
students to be aware of crime on
campus and in the surrounding
community."

In spring 2012, the Major
League Baseball (MLB),
San Diego Padres will ditch
their wave styled font and
shadowy colors around
the player's numbers for a
bolder, traditional look.
During the 2011 season,
the Padres debuted their
military inspired uniform
that featured a digital camouflage design, which will
remain the same.
Throughout the team's
history, the primary uniform changed four times.
The original 1975 edition
Padres uniform was yellow
and brown and stated the
city they represented.
In 1984, their uniforms
changed again to a retro
look, that kept the same
colors.
The 1998 season introduced the blue and white
colored jerseys.
The last change occurred
in 2005, when the Padres
updated their look to a

Other religious and cultural holidays celebrated during the u)inter season
Kyle M.Johnson
Pride Staff Writer
While Christmas is one of the
most widely-celebrated of
holidays in American
culture, many other
holidays take place in
close proximity in the
calendar.
Another form of the
Christmas celebration exists
in the Catholic tradition. While
many Christmas celebrations
pay tribute to the birth of Jesus,
Catholic celebrations express a
form of preparation for the second coming of the Lord.
According to the Catholic Education Resource Center, "The
Catholic Church has designated
the four weeks preceding Christmas as Advent, a time to 'prepare
the way of the Lord.'"
The Catholic Education Resource Center also lists in
great detail many activities of Advent. Each activity including the Advent
wreath, the blessing of the
tree and the Christ and
Mary candles act as a
symbol of the faith of
the Catholic Church.
Hanukkah is a Jew-
ish holiday that is celebrated for
Kwanzaa, a cultural holiday
eight days and nights.

Artificial vs. live Christmas trees
What do you prefer?

Do you prefer the Christmas
tree smell and excitement of picking a live tree each year or the
consistency and convenience of
an artificial Christmas tree?
People have different opinions
on the matter because it's related
to family traditions.
"Its easier to have a fake tree. I
grew up with a real tree til [sic]
my parents got lazy," student
Adam Dettelbach said.
According to Art Espinoza,
"The Christmas Tree Guy," at
Home Depot in Oceanside, artificial trees are fairly easy to assemble, last longer than live Christ-
mas trees and are energy efficient.
Though there are many pros to
artificial trees, some people still
prefer real ones.
"I like real Christmas trees, if
they stay alive. I mean sure fake
Christmas trees will save you in
the long run, but they take up so
much space in storage and you
have to assemble them," student
Chandra Charette said.
Artificial Christmas trees do not
have the beloved pine smell and
tend to be pricey.
It's also a hassle to assemble
and disassemble the artificial tree
each year, let alonefinda place to
store it.
Still, people have their own traditions when it comes to Christmas trees.
According to tree farmer Bill
Warren of Mission Pines Christmas Trees in Fallbrook: live
Christmas trees are fresh, have
that wonderful "Christmas" smell
and you get the pleasure of going
out and picking your own Christmas tree.
There are a few cons in buying
a live tree.
Since it is a tree, it's flammable, doesn't live long and makes
a mess with pine needles.
No matter how you feel on
whether on the matter, it's up to
you.
"Christmas is not Christmas
without the real Christmas tree,"
student Tara De Gaetano said.

Happy Hour of the Week: Ocean House in Carlsbad
Kristin Melody
Pride Staff Writer
The Ocean House is an iconic
landmark of Carlsbad and provides a decent happy hour with a
unique setting.
The Ocean House is a beautiful Victorian era building that has
been around for 120 years. It lies
in the heart of downtown Carlsbad and is very close to the beach.
The Ocean House prides itself on their Sunday champagne
brunch served, from 9:30 a.m.
- 2:30 p.m. which is hosted in a
spacious dance room with large
wooden floors. For students on
a budget, head over to their bar
room Monday - Friday, between
3 - 6 p.m. to take advantage of
the happy hour while enjoying
the antique setting.
The happy hour includes $2 off
mixed cocktails, draft beers and
house wines. The beer list supports local breweries with beers
such as Ballast Point Black Marlin Porter, Stone Pale Ale, Coronado Orange Ave Wit, Green
Flash 30th Street Pale Ale and
Port Brewing Wipeout IPA. To
fill up on snacks Ocean House
provides cheap eats including $4
nachos, cheese fries, quesadillas
or potato skins and $5 artichoke
spinach dip and chicken strips.
The Ocean House also runs
discounted domestic beer for $3
and $5 burger and fries during all
football games.
What is most enticing about
the Ocean House is the historic
setting that mixes modern attractions like banquets, weddings and
salsa dancing on Sundays with
rustic and antique architecture
and design. The Palm Room, in
the front, has a history that dates
back to 1922 and is a nice lounge
with large windows overlooking
the main walkway of downtown
Carlsbad.
The Ocean House is open Monday - Wednesday 11 a.m. - midnight, Thursday - Saturday 1 1 - 2
a.m. and Sunday 9:30 - 2 a m. It
is located on 300 Carlsbad Village Drive in Carlsbad.

Ringing i n t he New Year with roses
Melissa Martinez ,
Pride Staff Writer
If you don't have special plans
to celebrate the New Year, the
Tournament of Roses Parade is
an amazing experience to take
part in.
Every year since 1890, Pasadena (located in the Los Angeles
County, 2 hours away from San
Marcos) housed traditional floats
made entirely out of flowers as
well as the "Rose Bowl" game,
which consists of the top colle-
giate college teams in the U.S.
Marching bands, floats and
people come from all over the
country to partake in this historic
event, camping out days ahead of
time in Old Town Pasadena, with
tents and blankets along the parade trail throughout the streets of
the historic city.
Guests for the Rose Parade include the mayor of Pasadena and
the Grand Marshallr as well as
the Rose Princesses and Queen,
high school students who have
been chosen from a cohort of
12th grade females, who have
auditioned to represent the Tournament of Roses as Pasadena's
queen.
*
Beginning bright and early on
Jan. 2 at 8 a jn., the 123rd Rose
Parade will make its journey
throughout Pasadena to present
the work of thousands who devote the entire year to the debut
of their floats. The Rose Parade
is a great way to celebrate the arrival of the New Year by joining
those who travel from all over
the country to
welcome another year of life.
However, if you already have
plans in celebrating the New Year
elsewhere, you can always watch
the televised version of the Parade on any network channel, all
day long Jan. 2.
Fast forward your career.
Take advantage of multiple start dates, no requirement changes,
and convenient block'scheduling—ideal for working professionals.

Dec. 12, 2011 will be quite a
day for me. No, I won't be finished with finals. No, I won't
be going on a tropical vacation.
Actually, I'm going to the Ellen
DeGeneres Show for her Twelve
Days of Giveaways. So far, it's
looking way better than a trip to
Hawaii.
If you think you just show up
at Warner Brothers Studios in
Burbank on the day of the show's
taping, you would be wrong. Attending the Ellen show is a process which must be followed to
the letter. Those who attend the
Twelve Days of Giveaways must
be invited by Ellen herself, a treat
I received back in April of 2011.
My mom—a die-hard Ellen
fan—scored tickets to a taping of
the Ellen show on April 20 and,
of course, invited yours truly.
Fortunately, the guest packet
mailed prior to the show outlines
the dos and don'ts of an Ellen
audience member. If you're late,
you're out. If you're without ID,
you're out. If you're a convicted
criminal, you're out (seriously—
the Ellen show conducts preshow background checks on its
audienôe).
Once you find yourself on the
Ellen soiundstage, chances are,
y ou'll there to stay. Before you
go into the studio, you have to
walk through what Ellen c au^ne
"riff raff' room. This is where the
stand-by people who show up the
day of the show go if there were
no cancellations or open seats in
the audience. It is actually Ellen's
very beautiful and well appointed
gift shop, outfitted with memorabilia and several large HD TVs
for remote viewing of the live
show.
•.
The riff raff room leads the
audience into the set as you see
on TV. If you wear bright colors,
you're more likely to get a seat
toward the front of the stage as
per the direction of thé audience
managers. Also, I sure did see a
lot of blondes in the front row.
Not that I'm insinuating the Ellen show likes blondes better than
brunettes or anything.
Anyway, once you're seated,
fun, hilarious people warm-up the
audience pre-show and get you
dancing—a lot. I'm talking outof-breath, sweaty, spastic, spontaneous dancing for a half hour
before the show even begins.
' " T he^Ellen finally emerges. The
crowd screams and cheers with
what energy they have remaining
as Ellen dances up and down the
aisles. Before we knew it, the audience receives a $100 gift card to
Rite Aid (score!). Then we got to
see Reese Witherspoon talk about
her movie "Water for Elephants,"
Paul Walker discuss something
related to his career (all I recall
is getting an advanced screening
of a cologne commercial he was
starring in) and a young Justin
Bieber wanna be called Jackson
Guthy perform a song that is still
stuck in my head: L-O-V-I-N-G.
Overall, i t was a pretty entertaining group.
i;
Throughout the whole show, Ellen kept teasing us with iPad stories. Every single person thought
we were going to get an iPad by
the end of the show. When Ellen

As an experienced Ellen show
attendee, I'd like to offer a few
tips to consider during your preshow preparation if you are the
next lucky winner of Ellen tickets. First, don't wear dark colors.
If you must, wear a black sweater
and perhaps a bright scarf with
it. Second, practice your dance
moves, and don't be tempted to
use all your energy during the
audience warm-up. Keep your
movements controlled. Railing
around on TV does not translate well. You may think you are
dancing "cute," but big, unchoreographed moves, can look
alarmingly like a seizure.
I would like for Christmas: I draw
almost everyday, managing with the
pens and pencils that I also use for
school. I don't need an entire kit, but
a few pens for outlining and reliable
colored pencils will do. *

Book Review: " A Christmas M emory" by Truman C apote Tales from the Nerd Sid
Geek Gifts: A short g uide to s ome of thef
Capote's classic story a Christmas treat
Kyle M. Johnson
Pride Staff Writer
In the common Christmas-eelebrating household, the traditions
of reciting "The Night Before
Christmas" or reading Dickens'
"A Christmas Carol" often take
place.
Rarely, and sadly, does one hear
about a tradition of reading Truman Capote's heartwarming short
story "A Christmas Memory."
Set in Alabama in the 1930s and
inspired by his childhood, Capote
tells the story of a Christmas he
shared with his friend, Miss Sook,
an aging woman in her sixties.
Capote's portrayal of his seven year-old self called Buddy is
sweet, but the real charm is in
his relationship with Miss Sook,
whom he refers to as "my friend."
Despite her age, Miss Sook is
very much a child herself.
Together, they touch the lives
of those around them, including a
Mr. Haha Jones (ironically nicknamed this because of his serious
disposition). The reader cannot
help but feel touched, as well.
In the Modern Library edition of "A Christmas Memory,"
you will also find the short stories "One Christmas" and "The
Thanksgiving Visitor" which also
feature Capote's Buddy and Miss
Sook.
"One Christmas" tells of a trip
Buddy takes to stay with his father in New Orleans for the holiday and "The Thanksgiving Visitor" tells of Buddy's school bully
nemesis being invited to Thanksgiving dinner.
While his stories possess a
I
nerdiest gifts for the holidays
child-like charm, Capote counters
this with a very dark and personal
tone which lies below the surface
of the text. In a tragic life and upbringing specifically, we can be
grateful that Capote had someone like Miss Sook to impart her
love and wisdom upon him, a gift
that will surely resonate with the
reader.

It is now that time of the year; hot chocolate in front of warming fireplaces, Christmas
lights brightening up neighborhoods and my personal favorite: Christmas music. There
is something special about grocery aisles blasting yuletide hits we^all grew up with, This
issue's playlist is dedicated to Christmas music that warms our hearts as we prepare for
this holiday season.
You can't start the holiday season off without listening to "I Want a Hippopotamus for
Christmas" by the amazing Gayla Peevey. This song is both catchy and cute and was
the primary reason I asked for a hippopotamusior Christinas every year.

O ne of the toughest parts of the holiday season is finding just
the right gift for that s pecial'someone in our lives. Sometimes, the
best gift is the o ne that is absolutely i mpractical a nd serves no
real purpose other t han to b ecome a new addition in a nerdy
collection of toys a nd g adgets.
There a re a few e asy things to k eep in mind w hen c hoosing
a g ood g eek gift. First off, g eeks love gifts from their favorite licensed v ideo g ame, TV, film a nd c omic series. Next, g eeks enjoy
t echnical toys (robots, mechanisms, e tc.). Finally, g eeks like weird
things that you c an't find a t a ny old d epartment store.
This holiday season, p ick up something a bit more u nconventional rather than the standard v ideo g ame or D VD b ox set.
Here's a few examples to help g et those motors running.
One of the best parts of Christmas decorations is realizing you are standingrightunder
mistletoe with someone you care about. This brings me to the next song, "Mistletoe" by
Justin Bieber. Not only is his voice sweet, but so is his heart. All proceeds from his Christmas album, "Under the Mistletoe11 wenfto charity.
Speaking of sweet voices, Michael Bubie's version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" from his new holiday album, "Christmas," is a must listen to. His jazz style and velvet voice will make you want to cuddle near afireplacewith your special "someone."
Speaking of cuddling, Glee's version of "Baby, it's Cold Outside," a duet between
characters Blaine and Kurt is a romantic song that musically captivates us to continue
listening as we anticipate the character's future relationship.
Another traditional song remake from Glee's second volume Christmas album is "Little
Drummer Boy" sung by Artie? a character with a rough, but angelic voice for this year's
1 : C h r i s t m a s episode.
One of my favorite Christmas songs is "Believe" by Josh Groban from: "The Polar Express" soundtrack. Groban's amazing voice beautifully captures the Christmas spirit as
he reminds uS to believe in the magic that surrounds us every day. v:
In conclusion to this holiday playlist is none other than "Santa, Baby" originally recorded
by Eartha Kitt, a provocative holidayJaVorite.

Tuition rises 9 percent for fall 2012
T uition fnr Cal State San MarTuition or P al Qtat^ Qon A/To*.
cos students will rise another 9
percent next fall as the result of a
budget vote last week by the California State University Board of
Trustees.
At a raucous meeting in Long
Beach on Nov. 16 - where student
protestors disrupted the meeting
by chanting and waving signs trustees voted 9 to 6 to approve
a budget that will raise tuition by
$498 per year to $5,970 beginning in fall 2012.
CSU tuition has more than
doubled since 1999, when it
was $2,572 per student. Over
the years, tuition hikes covered
budget deficits caused by declining state support. The CSU's $2
billion budget for 2012-2013 is
smaller than the $2.14 billion
budget in 1999, even though there
are 72,000 more students attending CSU campuses today, trustees
reported.
University officials anticipate
the latest tuition increase will be
the last for the 2012-2013 school
year - even though the state may
cut the CSU budget by another
$100 million if year-end tax rev-

enues come up short.
"If they cut another $100 million from the budget, our portion
would be $2.5 million," said Cal
State San Marcos spokeswoman
Margaret Lutz. "We have some
ideas on how to keep those cuts
from negatively impacting students or instruction."
She said this may include shift-
cuts, growing class sizes and a
wage freeze caused by statewide
budget cuts.
Don Barrett, CFA chapter president at Cal State San Marcos, said
the protest drew a small crowd of
students, including a few who
joined in.
Last week, faculty at the CSU
East Bay and Domínguez Hills
campuses held a one-day strike,
the first in CFA history, Barrett
said.
"We've never struck before,"
he said. "In the past, we had to
threaten to strike to get the chancellor's office moving and this
time we felt we needed to go qn
strike. I want to be clear, the strike
was not over the lack of a contract
but over salary issues that happened over the previous contract.
The strike reflected the chancellor's decision to not treat the faculty fairly." Photo courtesy of Don Barrett

The protestors hoped to raise

statewide. The teachers have been

Native American H eritage Month
celebrated with new facility
Kristin Melody
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM opened the California
Indian Culture and Sovereignty
Center (CICSC), Nov. 17, in
the Social and Behavioral Science Building to facilitate Native
American activities on campus
and collaborate with California
tribes.
"There is simply no other place
in California like this one," President Karen Haynes said at the
opening speech.
November is Native American
Heritage month and the CICSC
is open to all California tribes including the 18 tribes in southern
California. It is a meeting place
for American Indian Student Association (AISA) and many other
outreach and development programs.
"With the opening of this center
we are creating a brighter future... and creating history once
again at Cal State San Marcos,"
President Haynes continued.
The CICSC addresses Native
Americans face a unique challenge in attending college as they
most often are leaving a reservation for the first time. This is the
first center dedicated to Native
Americans in the CSU system.
There are more than 10 student
members of AISA and they aim
to "create solidarity among Indian students...and to meet other
American Indians," Tommy Devers, a CSUSM Masters of Sociology student and member of the
Pauma Indian Tribe said.
"Native American peopled
dreams are just as important as
anybody else's," Chairman James
Ramos said, the first Native
American to be appointed to the
California Board of Education.
Dr. Joely Proudfit is the CICSC
director and collaborates with local tribes and tribal leaders to run

A mountain lion was spotted on
campus Wednesday night. It was
the fourth time in five years that
the big cats have been seen on
university property.
About 10 p.m. Nov. 16, campus
police got a call from an emergency kiosk in student Lot F at
the south end of campus. When
they responded, police spotted the
mountain lion, or cougar, heading
back up into the hills near Lot F,
according to university spokeswoman, Margaret Lutz.
Lutz said it was the first time a
mountain lion had been seen on
campus since October of last year
(lions were also spotted several
times at the south end of campus
in 2007 and 2008) .
'With so much open space in
the area, we have a lot of wildlife
that comes on campus at nights
looking for food. People say
they've spotted deer. The moun^
tain lions always seem to show up
in the fall months and they usually always hunt alone," Lutz said.
Cougars are native to the area
and CSUSM's official mascot.
The campus is built on Luiseno
Indian laud. The university's
original mascot was Tukwut, cougar, in Luiseno.
Although there's never been
a dangerous encounter between
a mountain lion and students or
faculty, Lutz said the California
Department of Fish and Game is
advising students to avoid walking alone on campus at night. If
you encounter a mountain lion,
do not run (because it will trigger the cat's instinct to chase) but
stand your ground, wave your
arms and make noise to scare it
off. If a lion is spotted, call campus police from a kiosk or from a
cell phone at 760-750-4567.
Council, the only one of its kind
in the CSU system. In six months,
the CICSC and its partners developed a Luiseno language learning
program for the Nintendo DSI.
The center has resources including workstations, offices and
research capabilities to focus on
concerns and issues regarding
tribes or Native American students.

Internationally-acclaimed poet reads at CSUSM
Kyle M. Johnson
Pride Staff Writer
Poet Clayton Eshleman was
featured as the last part of the
fall semester's Community and
World Literary Series (CWLS)
on Thursday.
Professor Mark Wallace introduced Eshleman with much
praise as having been at the heart
of American poetry since the early 1960s.
Eshleman has contributed to the
literary world through his own
poetic production and the trans-
lating of poems from poets Cesar
Vallejo, Pablo Neruda and Henri
Michaux.
Eshleman took the stage and announced that he would be reading
nine poems from his book "Anticline," thefirstpoem a recounting
of an experience he and his wife
had in Italy.
Following the first poem, he
shared that he has been translating poetry as long as he has been
reading and writing it.
Between poems, Eshleman
would often share anecdotes and
personal trivia which gave the audience a perspective into his nature as a writer.
"I write a lot of poems about art
or artists," he said, sharing how
if he had been turned to the left
or right, he would have been a
painter.
Eshleman's reading of his poetry often felt conversational,
especially in the literal sense during his last reading, a dialogue
between himself and the artist
Max Ernst. His imagery, at times
graphic, led to much laughter in
F eatures
the audience, as well as the occasional audible "Wow!" Even
Eshleman laughed through some
his own words as he read.
During the Questions and Answers portion, topics approached
included when Eshleman started
writing, his view of surrealism,
thoughts on the future of publishing houses in the internet age and
the importance and influence of
travel.
Dr. Wallace, who headed the
series, felt that this semester's
CWLS was beneficial for students
because he brought in writers normal literary exposure.
The CWLS will begin again in

No Shave November for a c ause P rofessor S potlight
Helps raise money for cancer research
Melissa Martinez
Pride Staff Writer
Ever wondered why men seem to neglect
their beards during the winter? Maybe as
their way of staying warm or in honor of a
tradition called No Shave November.
On Oct. 31, dedicated men shaved their
beards for the last time to grow out for the
duration of November. Most
men decide to grow out their
facial hair to support prostate
cancer awareness month. The
goal is to embrace hair and
let it grow to unimaginable
lengths. Since most cancer
patients lose their hair to
chemotherapy
treatments,
non-shavers can donate the
money they would normally spend to
maintain their hair to cancer research. No
Shave November is less expensive than
shaving every couple of days and is tax
deductible.
According to the National Cancer Institute website,. prostate cancer is "cancer
that forms in tissues of the prostate, usu-
ally occurring in older men."
In the United States, there were approximately 240,890 new cases and 33,720
deaths in 2011. There are many organizations funding research to cure prostate
cancer, such as "ZERO—The Project to
End Prostate Cancer."
ZERO is a charity that not only wants to
reduce prostate cancer, but end the disease
entirely. Their main goal is
to lengthen the lives of men
who were diagnosed with
prostate cancer by providing them with treatment to
cure their cancer, manage
their illness and have a life
that doesn't involve constant treatment to try and
end their suffering.
This particular organization offers ways
to help raise prostate cancer awareness
as well as promote early diagnosis by offering free testing. It also gives patrons a
chance to support organizations such as
"The Great Prostate Cancer Challenge &
DASH FOR DAD," a national race series.

Downloading the effects of drugs
Controversy rises over sound waves that give feeling of being high
Kyle M. Johnson
Pride Staff Writer
Websites such as idosing.org, idoser.com and i-dose.us are selling audio tracks which provide
the listener with similar side effects of taking specific drugs.
These listening experiences are
known as "sonic drugs" and "idosing."
According to nbclosangeles.
com, "Sonic drugs work through
binaural beats ~ the playing of
two slightly different tones and
frequencies into both ears simultaneously/'
Many sites, including i-dose.us,
provide online shoppers with the
ability to purchase audio tracks
appropriately titled to the effects
they have on the listener. Some
tracks offered on the site include
"Deep Sleep" which is said to
help wijth sleep-related disorders,
"Quit Smoking" which helps the
listener to quit smoking and "Stop
Alcohol Abuse" which helps the
listener treat alcoholism.
While some tracks assist in
treating disorders and addictions,
there are also other websites
which offer audio experiences
that provide the effects of stimulants, both legal and illegal. Experts are advising caution when
approaching these audio tracks .
"It's not like you listen to an
i-dose for crack cocaine and the
next day you're smoking a crack
pipe [...] But I do think that if
you have an impressionable 13
- 14-year-old kid that does an idose, it may drop their inhibition
if they're presented with the real
drug to try it," addictions specialist Dr. Gregory Smith said in an
interview with Colleen Williams
of NBCLA.
One website that offers this legal listening experience is i-doser.com. Some of the MP3 tracks
sold on the site provide the listener with the effects of anti-depressants, inspiration and confidence.
However, some tracks are named
after and provide the listener with
the effects of illegal substances
including marijuana, cocaine and
LSD.

Seven out of ten Americans

Christmas before Halloween. At

to claim. Some stores' Christmas
layaway began in October; so of
course, the deals begin by then.

Making Thanksgiving
Doholroh Hroon
Rebekah Green
Pride Staff Writer
In "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving,"
Sally Brown said, "Why should I give
thanks on Thanksgiving? What have I got
to be thankful for?"
Unlike Sally, it's not hard for me to think
about what I 'm thankful for. I'm grateful
for my family, my friends, etc. I 'm thankful for the things I have. And the times
when I'm not cramming on multiple papers due in the same week, I'm thankful
for the opportunity I have to be in college.
Being thankful isn't the only thing people
do on Thanksgiving though (not to say that
we shouldn't be thankful any other day of
the year). It is also a time for people take
part in nationwide traditions and more personal traditions that transcend generations.
-Let's face it. When we think of Thanksgiving, we think of food. Needless to say,
food is a big deal - or rather, it becomes a
big deal, especially once the holiday season
rolls around. Foodconsumer.org weighs
some statistics: practically two-thirds of
turkey from the U.S. last year originate
from just six states (with Minnesota as
the winner at 47 million) and 735 million
pounds of cranberries were produced in
the U.S. in the same year. Food consuming aside, Thanksgiving's traditions differ
from household to household, but many
remain almost universal in the U.S.
If there is a football fan present within
the house, that television will be on for the
game. If you aren't watching football and
you aren't able to attend in person, you're
probably watching the annual Macy's
Thanksgiving Day Parade, held in New
York City, on NBC or CBS. Some people
are just anxious for Christmas tofinallyarrive. Others are just too stuffed to do anything.
Thanksgiving has come a long way since
the 1600s, and I for one am glad that so
many people have made it unique to.their
own personal traditions and meanings. It
doesn't matter what you do for Thanksgiving or who you do it with. So don't worry
if you don't have an actual turkey, if you
can't stand football, if you forgot about the
parade or if none of these apply to what
you do. The heart of the matter is to make
memories that will stick for years.to come
and to take time to appreciate your life*.
You. don't have to think hard to answer
Sally Brown's question. There is always
something to be thankful for.

November makes m e nostalgic, but not just
for music of my distant past. These songs
may not seem like they belong together a t
first listen, but e ach track gives a sense of
memory, love, loss a nd hope.
A rcade Fire's "Rebellion (ties)" depicts how
sleep c an b e a n excuse to get a way from
the realities of our lives. It fits well with the
themes that I get from their album Funeral
- the dramatic a nd often sad switch from
childhood to adulthood a nd how the w ay
w e see things b ack then seem to twist
around completely as w e get older. It's definitely nostalgic a nd emotional but still keeps
some of the heaviness u pbeat a nd fun.
Feist's " 12 3 4" manages to sound happy
a nd almost playful while dealing with issues
of time a nd how fickle the heart c an b e
w hen it remembers love.
"A Thread Cut with a Carving Knife" by Stars
tells the stories of four different people in
three different situations (romantic, troubling,
etc.) a nd shows how no matter w ho you are
or w hat y ou've b een through, life is indeed
unpredictable a nd as fragile as a thread.
Coldplay's "Paradise" sparks a sense of
escaping the harshness of reality a nd finding
comfort in your own paradise. It definitely
makes you feel as though you are being
lifted out of your life a nd you a re given four
minutes a nd 39 seconds to hide a way in a
paradise of your own.
The Beatles' "Let It B e" is a n exception on '
this list as a song that c an literally take you
b ack to the past to w hen you would hear
it on the radio or o n your parents' favorite
albums. This track is nostalgia a nd h ope

This installment of the Assassin's Creed series
sees the return of thefirstmain character Altaic

In this entry of the classic Legend of Zelda series, Link hails from the floating city of Skyloft.
There, he finds the Skyward Sword and sets out
on a journey to the land beneath Skyloft in order to cleanse it of the evil monsters that thrive
there. Skyward Sword utilizes the Wii Motion

CSUSM recently adopted safety precautions for students, such
as emailing and calling services,
alerting students technologically
if their lives are in danger.
Since the Virginia Polytechnic
Institute and State University
massacre on April 16,2007, when
a single student killed 32 people and injured 25 others, safety
regulations for college campuses
nationwide have updated their
emergency response notification
services. Since the massacre,
colleges and universities have
adopted notification services to
alert students in the event of their
endangerment.
Emergencies continued page 2.
Volume XXXVIII
the "99 percent" movement has
spread to 70 cities worldwide including San Diego, where protestors hold cardboard signs blaming banks and corporations for
their nations' financial woes.
In San Diego, signs are not being waved in the air and chants 6f
"occupy Wall S treet... all day . ..
all week" do not echo through the
streets. There are only a few dozen protesters gathered in two locations—downtown's San Diego
Civic Center Plaza and in Balboa
Park. In North County, protestors
gathered Oct. 28 and Nov. 4 for
marches at the Oceanside Pier.
At Cal State San Marcos,.an Occupation Hour took place Oct.
20 in Library Plaza and flyers
displayed in the Dome cafeteria
say "We are the 99 percent" and
"This revolution will not be pri-
Emergency
vatized."
Civic Center Plaza is the central hub of the Occupy San Diego
movement. One afternoon last
month, about 20 people eating
hot dogs and sleeping on blankets
were gathered, some speaking
into a microphone that America is
a "rich are getting richer, poor are
getting poorer" society. On Oct.
28, police forced protestors out
of the plaza, though some have
returned sporadically. Protestors
in other cities have demonstrated
stronger resistance to police relocation and removal.
Among last month's protestors were Phil Lopez and Robert
Unger, union faculty members at
Southwestern College in Chula
Vista, who said that students and
teachers fall into the 99 percent.

students of a possible new safety

The U.S. State Department sent
a worldwide notice to CSUSM's

The department distributed the

The United States travel warning alerted students, faculty and
staff to the possibility of "antiU.S. actions." The concern of
terrorist activity stemmed from
an alleged plot to assassinate the
Saudi Arabian ambassador to the

According to an official release
from the Department of Justice,
two men with ties to Iran were
charged with conspiracy to murder a foreign official and at least
three more conspiracy charges.

Energy drinks are a source of
energy f or most of us students
these days, but are not regulated
by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Most energy drinks contain a
mixture of caffeine, sugar, taurine, guarana, cola nut and B vitamins. These mixed components
can cause heart palpitations, increased heart rate and blood pressure and dehydration.
"The moderate dose of caffeine per day is 250mg which is
the equivalent to three cups of
coffee," Dr. Michelle Barrack, a
professor in the Kinesiology department, said.
In 1994, Congress enacted the
Dietary Supplement Health and
Education Act, which enabled
any company to be unregulated
by the FDA.
"What is in the energy drinks is
[sic] reacting with your body in a
physiological way," Kaitlyn Siewart, a CSUSM alumnus with a
Bachelor's of Science in Kinesiology, said.
Some people use energy drinks
as a boost for athletic performance.
"If you are an athlete, they
probably improve performance
in moderate to intense exercise...
If you are a regular or average
individual, benefits are probably
less...this has just as much to
do with the fact that most physi-
cal activity they [sic] do does
not merit energy drinks or supplement use, and that research is
sparse in less trained persons...,"
Dr. Todd Astorino of the Kinesiology Department said.
But energy drinks are beneficial
to athletic performance.
"We don't want to show that
caffeine is bad for exercise. Caffeine within the limits of caffeine
intake can be productive and
safe," Dr. Barrack said.
Students felt the same.
"I used to drink an energy drink
before gym session, but after a
while you're left off with stomach
cramps and a useless sugar rush,"
CSUSM student Koresh Dashtizadeh said.

With the help of companies like groupon.
com and dailydeals.com, internet users
have been able to receive financial benefits
in their local communities during the present economic decline.
Neighborhoodlnc., a company with the
same offerings of coupons and daily deals
as well as other features, including job services, is developing with an ultimate "people helping people" mission statement: of
the money that comes into the company,
a percentage goes back to community
schools and charities.
According to www.neighborhoodinc.org,
"[20-50 percent] of membership fees go
back to their local schools." While it is free
for the Basic Membership and the Charity
& Non-Profit Membership, the annual Deluxe Membership is listed at $249 and the
annual Premium Membership is listed at
$499 meaning with every Deluxe and Premium Membership, 20 - 50 percent will be
given back to schools.
When it comes to Community Deals,
"Our daily coupon site gives 10 percent of
net proceeds back to schools [and] charities, a percentage of our yearly net-profit
will be given back to the community."
Neighborhoodlnc. also offers job services, a work placement program system
headed by a staff of recruiters. Through this
service, each placement will be followed
up with the "Cash Referral & Charity Bonus Program" which gives back a cash referral to the person who assisted in finding
a member's j ob, as well as a bonus towards
any non-profit charity.
The company also provides users of
the site with Local Community Calendar.
"[The] community calendar offers free advertising for all non-profit organizations so
you can connect and
support their e vent"
Nick Bandejas, founder of Neighborhoodlnc., left the corporate world to start
the company, which grew from a series of
developments originating from giving back
to charities to giving back to charities and
the community.
Bandejas decided to develop the company with a socialistic approach. "[Neighborhoodlnc.] is not just a marketing company,
it's a neighborhood company. We help people find jobs and save money," Bandejas
said.
Bandejas went on to say that through offering lower costs to businesses, money is
given to schools and charities strengthening the company's other services which
leads to more money, creating the first truly
"green" economy. "The ultimate goal is for
Neighborhoodlnc. to come full circle as a
self-generating cycle. [It will] ultimately be
a goodwill network through loyalty."

CSUSM's Community Mid
World Literary Series (CWLS)
featured authors Amina Cain and
Tisa Bryant reading their works
on the night of Oct. 27.
Prior to the CWLS event, Cain
and Bryant joined Professor
Sandra Doller's creative writing
workshop course for an hour-long
private panel.
Doller assigned students Cain's
book "I Go to Some Hollow"
and Bryant's book "Unexplained
Presence."
By taking part in this intimate
Q&A panel, the class gained insight into the authors' experiences
regarding such topics as authorial
research, the publishing process,
small-press publishing and personal experiences in workshop
settings.
Shortly after 7 p.m., Dr. Mark
Wallace introduced Bryant as a
brave risk-taker in her writing—-
her risks both bold and subtle.
Bryant told the audience how
happy she was to be reading. "It's
like a little vacation out of L.A.,"
she said. After, she read her short
story "Under Cover of Darkness"
from her book "Unexplained
Presence."
During her reading of the text,
Bryant paused to refer to the inter-textuality of the classic film
"The Women" mentioned in the
story. She acknowledged her vocal reference as a type of intertextuality.
She followed "Under Cover of
Darkness" with an excerpt f rom
her manuscript called "The Curator."
Wallace introduced Cain and
her collection of short stories,
which touched on issues of sensitivity and loneliness.
First, Cain read her short story
"Ugly Things." She followed
with a reading of "Two-Dimensional War" from her book "I Go
to Some Hollow."
After the readings, the authors

Occupy Wall Street brings to
mind three things: protest, politics, and pepper spray. I could
have included police brutality in
that list, but I couldn't think of
a synonym for "brutality" that
started with a P.
Anyway, Occupy Wall Street is
indeed the sticky-sweet topic of
choice on every American's lips
right now, especially considering the movement's expansion to
downtown San Diego.
The Civic Center lay empty in
the early hours of Oct. 28 after
San Diego police took 51 campers into custody for a variety of
charges—unsanitary conditions
damaging city property, illegal
lodging, encroachment and curfew violations—according to the
Union Tribune.
The journalist writing the Tribune article interviewed many protesters, but only one of them—the
event organizer—directly commented on the purpose of the
evening's sit-in: they were protesting a plan to spend $200 billion over the next 40 years on
transportation projects.
Occupy Wall Street's origins
have little to do with California
building projects. In fact, every
"Occupy" incarnation has a different aim. While the majority of
its related demonstrations have
something to do with American
finances (thus the use of the 99
percent versus the one percent
idea), there is no collective objective that occupiers can name.
I have little faith in a nationwide movement operating under
a shared name that can't explain
what a successful result of said
movement would be. Sure, protesters want less corporate fingers
Pride Staff Writer
in their pockets, but there is a way
protesters could have prevented
that in the first place: by having a
bit of foresight.
A lot of civil unrest is directly
related to banks offering loans to
people who can't make the payments—quite reflective of the
Californian foreclosure disaster a
few years ago. It was stupid for
banks to offer $500,000 home
loans to people making a $30,000
a year salary. It was equally stupid for people making $30,000 a
year to take a loan of that size to
pay an epically large mortgage.
Likewise, it is stupid for students to take out loans to go to
college if paying it back is not
something feasible within the
next couple of years. However,
many occupiers cite the difficulty
of paying back student loans as
one of the many items to protest.
If occupiers really want to shake
up the system, they need to pull
their money out of the banks that
have done them wrong. Loans are
the lifeblood of banking; without
them, the banks will have to find
another way to survive. Living
outside of your means, as many
Americans tend to do, will bite
back faster than you can hang up
on a collections call. Take this opportunity to fight the one percent
with what they love most: your
money.
At any rate, the irony of Occupy
Wall Street exists in the youth of
the nation passing along information about sit-ins through Facebook and iPhones. As much as
people are protesting the system,
they have to realize that their actions keep them comfortably tethered to it.
Christmas comes early this year
with "A Very Harold & Kumar
3D Christmas." The result is a f un
Christmas film that also acts as a
loyal sequel to its film series.
This time around, stoner buddies Harold and Kumar (John
Cho and Kal Penh, respectively)
are back several years after the
incidents from the previous films
"Harold & Kumar Go to White
Castle" and "Harold & Kumar
Escape from Guantanamo Bay."
They each live their separate
lives, Harold a successful married
man and Kumar still the same old
Kumar, but depressed over his
recent break-up. A mysterious
present arrives for Harold at Kumar's apartment which reunites
the old friends for a Christmas
Eve of outrageous events.
This entry in the
"Harold & Kumar"
series surpasses the
second film in entertainment value and
humor and comes
close to the original.
With an abundance
of the series' conventional racial stereotyping, drug use
and absurd plot development, the film
remains consistent to
its predecessors.
Some of the humor
is very tongue-incheek, as Harold is
referred to as Sulu
(Cho's character in
the most recent "Star
Trek" film) and Kumar is told from a
friend that if anyone
asks, he works at the
White House (which
Penn did in between the second
and third films of the series).
Neil Patrick Harris's return
to the series is something to be
enjoyed with his real-life partner David Burtka as a married
straight father who is paid to act
as Harris's lover in order to widen
Harris's appeal. Burtka's cameo,
which is even shorter than Harris's, is one of the funniest parts.
The 3D presentation of the film
may be a more rewarding experience for viewers with the technology manipulated and played up
for humorous effect. Also, several
references to 3D technology play
their part in execution, as well.
If you enjoyed the first two
"Harold & Kumar" films, y ou're
sure to like this one. If zany,
over-the-top, offensive comedies
aren't your preference, you might
want to pass.

Joining the cult: Former

Chris Giancamilli
Pride Staff Writer
It is a shame when g ood movies don't find success with
a wide audience. Though some films struggle in mainstream theaters, select few h ave the potential to become what are known as "cult classic" films. These cult
classics are often successful in home media sales years
after their initial release. It is difficult to narrow the field
as there are so many forgotten classics, but here a re my
top four cult classic films to b e enjoyed.
Pride Staff Writer
In Kazuo Ishiguro's novel
"Never Let Me Go," readers are
invited into the unfamiliar society
at Hailsham boarding school. In
three parts, the story chronicles
the protagonist Kathy's experiences from the point of being a
child at the mysterious Hailsham,
until her young adult years in the
life which she and her fellow students were born into and prepared
for as part of their education.
It is difficult to tell much of the
plot without giving away any details that may spoil elements of
the novel. However, Ishiguro's
story is exceptionally well-crafted. Through Kathy's narration,
Ishiguro speaks about this world
he has created very casually and
very matter-of-factly as if it is a
society readers would already be
familiar with. In its telling of an
unknown society set in the 1990s,
"Never Let Me Go" is a type of
modern science-fiction novel.
Kathy is accompanied through
much of the novel by her friends
Tommy and Ruth who all three
develop into a love triangle as
they grow up. Through their companionship, they set out to uncover the mysteries of the school
in their education, lifestyle expectations and mysterious rumors of
ways to avoid their predestined
duties. However, their curiosity
often leads to shocking findings.
While elegantly written, the
narration might discourage read-

ers due to the readers' unfamiliarity with many of the references
made to the world in which the
characters inhabit. Be reassured,
though, because all uncertainties
belonging to the reader, as well as
the characters, are answered. By
the end of the novel, the world
for the students of Hailsham, as
well as other boarding schools
founded with the same mission
statement, will be made known to
readers.
"Never Let Me Go" is one of the
most beautiful, rewarding novels
in recent literary history. It offers
all elements of a great novel as it
touches on such themes as friendship, purpose, love and loyalty.
This novel is very deserving—it
deserves to be read and readers
deserve to have read it.
" Once U pon A Time"
ABC d r a m a p rimed t o c h a r m a udiences
Rebekah Green
Pride Staff Writer
ABC's new show "Once Upon
A Time" premiered Sunday, Oct.
23 at 8 p.m. This new fantasy
series takes the memorable fairy
tales and fables of childhood,
like Snow White, Pinocchio and
more, and transports them to reality.
The evil queen threatens Snow
White and Prince Charming during their wedding. While visiting
the imprisoned Rumplestiltskin,
Snow White discovers that a horrible curse will be placed upon
her family, and only her daughter Emma, upon her 28 birthday,
will be able to stop the queen. On
the very day of Emma's birth, the
^^^^^
curse takes hold of the kingdom,
and although she is placed safely
inside a magic wardrobe, she
along with the other characters of
the kingdom are inevitably transported to a place devoid of happiness - our world.
28-year-old Emma Swan works
as a bail bondsman, and while her
demeanor is tough, she carries
loneliness within her. But all of
that changes when a boy named
Henry arrives claiming to be her
son and seeks her assistance in
taking him back home to Storybrooke, Maine. All the while, he
asserts that the stories existing-in
his fairy tale book are real and that
the citizens of Storybrooke are
these same f a i r y tale characters
trapped in the-real world with no
memory of their magical selves.
While Emma remains logically
skeptical of his words, Henry's
claims prove to have truth.
Fans of the film "Enchanted"
and Hallmark's miniseries "The
10th Kingdom" are sure to find
some aspects that border the familiar but still deliver an interesting take on the fairy tale world.
The pilot contained a lot of information, yet it was nothing difficult to follow. Rather, it set up
various situations that will keep
viewers curious as to what will
happen next.
There is a reason fairy tales
never grow old, and with "Once
Upon A Time," the tradition of
building upon classic stories is
sure to continue thriving. "Once
Upon A Time" airs Sunday nights
at 8 p.m. on ABC.

Dawn breaks with fourth film installment of "Twilight" saga
Melissa Martinez
Pride Staff Writer
November marks the
beginning of the end of
the cultural phenomenon:
"Twilight."
"Breaking
Dawn Part 1" will answer
the question w e've all been
dying to learn: does Edward
turn Bella into a vampire?
' Twilight" has certainly
made an impact on our
generation, regardless of
the f ans' genders, with the
addictive story line of a
human falling in love with
a vampire. The first of the
series introduced Bella, an
average girl who moved to
Forks, Washington to live
with her father. She soon
fell in love with the youngest member of the local
vampire coven named Edward. This love immediately put her life in danger.
The sequel, "New Moon,"
separated Bella and Edward, which put Bella into
a deep depression. Upon realizing if she put her life in
danger, she could feel Edward with her, she decided
to be reckless. When Edward's sister, Alice, had a
vision of Bella jumping off
of a cliff—apparently committing suicide—Edward
decided he could no longer
exist without her. It was
then h e decided to end his
life by exposing himself as
a vampire when the Volturi,
the largest and most powerful coven of vampires,
refused to grant his wish of
being destroyed, leaving it
up to Bella to prove that she
was still alive.
The third in the series,
titled "Eclipse," brings
Bella's number one enemy,
Victoria, back to kill her in
revenge f or Edward killing
Victoria's partner.
The last book in the series, "Breaking Dawn,"
puts Bella in the biggest
predicament of her l ife.
A fter her wedding, Edward
impregnates Bella. Since
the child i s half-human,
half-vampire, the developmental process f or the
baby is extremely fast and
if Bella continues with the
pregnancy, she will die.
This November will
bring answers to those who
have yet to finish the saga.
"Breaking Dawn Part 1"
will be in theatres Nov. 18,
2011.

In early October 2011, "Arrested Development" fans received
the news they have been waiting

the lives of the Bluth family who
all have their own set of problems, all while they try to keep
the family life afloat. Actors that
play such characters include Ja-

and the main cast showed up at
the New Yorker Festival to tell
people that both an "Arrested

which may begin next summer.
The Fox sitcom lasted f or three

Students demand action against hate
Amy Salisbury
Pride Staff Writer
Students in the Women's Studies department at Cal State San
Marcos last week launched a petition drive to push for university
action on the "hateful, obscene
and prejudicial content" in the
controversial student-run Koala
newspaper.
The petition drive, along with
the launch of a student-run antiKoala Facebook page, are in response to the publication of the
Koala's fifth CSUSM issue on
Sept. 27, which promoted on its
front page "homophobia, misogyny (and) pornography."
One page led with the line
"Women secretly want to be
raped," and another featured a
pornographic photo with the picture of a Women's Studies student
superimposed on a woman in the
picture.
The petition seeks 1,000 signatures to lobby university officials
to control the hate speech in the
Koala, restrict its on-campus distribution and eliminate the atmosphere of intimidation and harassment associated with its content
and distribution.
Kit-Bacon Gressitt, a CSUSM
Women's Studies student and
freelance reporter, wrote the petition, called "Act Against Hate
at Cal State University San Marcos," hosted by change.org. The
opening statement of the petition
claims that "the lack of action by

students to speak out on Spirit
Day against bullying and student
marginalization. .
"We recognize that there may
be instances that while protected
by the First Amendment, are
contrary to CSUSM's core values of diversity and inclusion,"
Haynes wrote in her blog on the
university website.

a "satirical comedy newspaper,"

Mother Nature gridlocks northeast pumpkin production
Kristin Melody
Pride Staff Writer
An average pumpkin sold in
New York City could cost $25
this Halloween—twice the cost
of the previous year, according to
Associated Press.
The price of a pumpkin in the
northeastern states could nearly
double due to nature's adverse
effects that devastated pumpkin
crops.
According to The Week magazine, the pumpkin shortage in the
northeast stemmed from three
factors. First, the season got off
to a late start due to heavy rain
fall in spring and summer; flooding caused late pumpkin planting.
Second, a fungus that thrives in
wet conditions, phytophthora,
infected most of the northeastern crops. Third, Hurricane Irene
swept the east coast and destroyed
the remaining pumpkin crops or
washed them away, leaving many
farmers without pumpkins for
harvest and income.
Other parts of the nation are
able to sell at normal prices, including San Diego's local pumpkin patch Bates Nut Farm.
According to a Bates Nut Farm
employee, since the pumpkins
were grown locally at the patch,
Bates had not been affected by
the pumpkin shortage, so the farm
did not raise prices from last year.
This excluded the jack-o-lanterns which went up $0.25 from
last year. Bates purchased these
from a Colorado farm, which
had raised its prices to accommodate the shortage. A standardsize pumpkin at Bates cost $6.
The "Big Macs," huge pumpkins,
ranging from 25 - 115 pounds,
started at $0.45 per pound and
lowered to $0.30 per pound by
the end of October.
Bates Nut Farm, a 100 acre
community farm in Valley Center
established in 1921, hosts local
events such as classic car shows,
art festivals4 and scarecrow contests. The farm also generates income through the Bates Nut Farm
general store that grows, produces
and packages items such as dried
fruit, fudge, nuts, hot sauces, oils
and candies and seasonal decorations and knick-knacks.
The Pumpkin Station is a local
San Diego pumpkin grower who
has four locations that sell pumpkins and have inflatable toys and
a corn maze. Two farm locations
in Rancho Bernardo and Bonita
are where the Pumpkin Station
grows a small amount of their
pumpkins.
"I didn't even know there was a
pumpkin shortage this year. The
Pumpkin Station has not raised
their prices in 5 years," a Pumpkin Station employee said.
A soccer ball-sized pumpkin
costs $4 or the patch sells larger
"bodacious pumpkins."
The Home Depot in Vista charges $3.33 for small pumpkins,
$4.48 for large and $8.48 for extra large. Last year, they charged
$2.99 for the small size. The
" Home Depot buys their pumpkins
from growers in the U.S.
The 2007 Census of Agriculture
reported
total harvested
pumpkins for
sale in the U.S.
were grown on
92,955 acres of
land at 15,088
farms, producing
approximately 1.5 billion pounds of
pumpkin annually.

Women's golf defeats Palomar in dual match
Kyle Trembley

Two local collegiate golf teams
squared off (for fun) last Friday,
with Cal State San Marcos women's golf taking on Palomar College in a dual match. The Lady
Cougars came out on top, defeating Palomar 304 to 317.
Four CSUSM players shot in
the 70's at the one-round event,
led by Vanessa Chap's 72. The
freshman, who is off to an excellent start to her Cougar career this
fall, shot the best round of any
golfer on the day.

Second on the team and at the
event was Tess Russell, who shot
74. Lisa Copeland, recent winner
of the Grand Canyon Invitational,
tied with teammate Felicia Titus
for third with a round of 79.
Also competing for CSUSM
were Cora Busy (81), McKenna
Pautsch (81), and Amanda Rudd
(88).
"I am very proud of our Lady
Cougars," commented Coach
Cindy Naval. "We have already
been challenged by Palomar for
another match."

It's important to have a strict sleep schedule or else I would fall

Has cross-country benefited academics? How?

Contemporary traditions rest in religious history
Kyle M. Johnson
Pride Staff Writer
The modern practice of Halloween has stronger ties to historical celebrations of the holiday
than you might think.
According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the name of the
holiday comes from the holiday's
original name, "All Hallows
Eve." As time progressed, the
name shortened to become "Halloween." All Hollows Eve was
in practice the night before All
Saints Day, "a day commemorating all the saints of the church,
both known and unknown."
The traditions we practice in
our modern celebrations of Halloween originated hundreds of
years ago. Over time, our practices, which traditionally take place
on Oct. 31, have lost a great deal
of their original meaning. By going through many of the common
aspects and traditions of Halloween, it is evident where modern
traditions have come from.
According to historian Nicholas Rogers' book "Halloween: From Pagan Ritual to
Party Night," Halloween
is likely to have de

Halloween costumes
Juliana Stumpp
Pride Staff Writer
This year, Halloween is on a
Monday, just six days away. Do
you have your costume yet? If
not, don't stress. The Pride has
some ideas that are cheap, quick
and fun.
•Wishing it was summer again?
It could be. After all, Halloween
is the excuse to outlaw all fashion rules. Take out your favorite
swimsuit and splotch some sunscreen on your nose. To up your
lifeguard costume, get yourself
a whistle and an inflatable inner
tube from the Dollar Store.
• For a more comedic costume,
get your favorite cereal and literally become a "cereal" killer.
Flatten out some cereal boxes and
tape them to a plain shirt. Think
outside the box and get a rubber
knife to make your costume more
imaginative.
•Unleash your inner rocker and
take out your Green Day concert
shirt from the closet. Put on some
dark jeans, tease your hair and put
on some intense eyeliner. Dressing up as a rock star is great because you can personalize it your
way. If you don't have an intense
rock star shirt but have something a little more mellow like a
Maroon 5 shirt, become a band's
groupie.
•Whatever sport you enjoy, take
out your favorite team's jersey to
show your appreciation. Just because baseball season just ended
and basketball* has a two week
lockout doesn't mean you have to
store your uniform in the closet.
This is a simple and easy costume
to put together, but you still get to
dress up.
• If you and your friends don't
what to do as a group, dress up
as the adorable 101 Dalmatians.
All you need is a plain white
shirt, black or white shorts, white
socks, and white shoes. Get a
black sharpie and draw black
spots on your white plain shirt
and socks. Put your hair up in
pigtails and wear a cute necklace
as your collar.
• Are you a fan of socks and
sneakers? Go as an American
tacky tourist. Put on a shirt you
got from vacation, shorts and dig
in your parents' closet for a fanny
pack. The best thing about being
a tacky tourist is that you caii personalize it. If you are a huge Disney fan, dress as if you are going
to Disney World. If you have always wanted to go to Hawaii, put
on a tacky Hawaiian shirt.

Growing up, you may remember the ghost stories that were
told to you, passed on from generations that kept us afraid of
the dark. Learning about goblins
and monsters that seemed to hide
anywhere where light fails to
shine. As we got older, the stories got better. Suddenly, these
"monsters" were potentially people whom once lived among us.
Just an average Joe that kept to
himself but secretly kidnapped
teenagers and put their bodies in
dungeons.
Now that •we are technically
"grown up," it's silly to still believe in ghost stories, right? But

something eerie creep up your

or saw someone swiftly walk by,
yet no one was around?
When I asked students about
their "haunted" experiences in
Kellogg Library, the looks of
skepticism told me that they
were sure ghosts weren't "real."
And quite frankly, they're right.
Ghosts aren't real. They don't
have physical bodies, but does
that mean they don't exist?
Upon much investigation, I
found that our very own Kellogg
Library has a few regular guests
that occupy the building once the
doors are locked for the night.
The first account I received was
from Dr. Geoffrey Gilmore, who
has had his own experience on the

doors opening and closing, certainly it can't all have logical reasonings, right? How far can wind
blow through the basement of a
building?
L also spoke with UPD, and
they informed me of more urban
legends. Supposedly, a young
girl haunts the third floor library,
mysteriously playing with toys.
The fourth and fifth floor's usual
guest is a girl in a white dress
with a "slit throat," as some
claim, knocking all the books
down from the shelves.
Was the girl Dr. Gilmore met
just a figment of his imagination?
What about the footsteps Ms.
Dupont hears when the rest of

"Puss in Boots" continues to charm audiences

Still, when I search for the "best"
horror films on various blogs and
websites, the films listed are predominantly dated back before I
was born. It makes me wonder
what the scare factor had for films
in the past that it's just not maintaining today.
Ifindfear itself a successful way
to instill fear in others. It's frightening to know how easily fear
can transcend into reality as any
other emotion can. Sometimes it
doesn't always have to be in your
face, and you don't have to actually see the "bad guy" (whether
it be human or not). If you strip
away all of the effects, jolting
music and excessive gore, maybe
the real terror can reveal itself.
Whether you're home alone, at a
haunted house or enjoying a horror film, once the distractions are
gone, raw fear arises.
Kyle M. Johnson
Amy Salisbury
Media Manager
Flags Magic Mountain are a few
popular choices. The unexpected
affects anyone. Even those who
claim to be veterans of horror can
be spooked in the right place at
the right time.
The shock factor boils down to
two things. The first is that loud
boom of music that jolts you out
of your seat during a film. It is
quite annoying, considering it
only gets out of you a moment of
fright—only because you weren't
expecting it.
Second, I associate shock with
films riddled with graphic violence and scenarios that seem like
they're meant to gross you out
rather than scare you. But then
again they must be doing something right; the "Saw" franchise
gained an average grossing of
over $59 million and a total of
over $415 million according to
boxefficemojo.com (and I admittedly really liked the first film).
"Mean Girls" is one of my favorite movies. The entire thing
is full of extraordinarily hilarious one-liners, but one sentence
within one scene rang truest to
me: "Halloween is the one night
a year when a girl can dress like
a total slut and no other girls can
say anything about it."
Although you could say that's
kind of true, Halloween does not
constitute an excuse to wear a
costume limited to lingerie and
animal ears. In fact, originality
is not that far away if you know
where to look.
This year, consider cultural
relevance, conversation over
controversy and creativity when
choosing your costume. For your
convenience, here is a list of a
few of the most topical costumes
for this season's celebrations.
Wall Street
You'll need a Styrofoam poster
board painted like a road. Wait
for it.
Instead of being part of the 99
percent or even part of the one
percent, here's your chance to be
even more ironic than the Occupy
Wall Street neo-hippie protesters themselves. Execution: paint
your poster board like a road,
go up to people and hold up the
poster in their faces whenever
they try to do anything at all. The
effect will be especially hilarious
if your significant other dresses as
money and applauds you.
Presidential Candidates
You'll need a power suit and a
convincing thumbs up.
This option is especially easy
and offers a lot of versatility for
those who don't want to buy a
new outfit for the night. Pick your
favorite candidate (like Texas
governor Rick Perry or career
flight attendant Tom Miller) and
go to town. Find a good, appropriate prop to enhance the mockery.
Steve Jobs
You'll need a black turtleneck,
blue jeans, glasses and a winner's
smile.
What better way to honor the
world's leading technology innovator than to actually be him for
a night? Don't even say "It's too
soon." The worst thing that could
happen is someone uses an iPhone to record your Jobsy antics
and then puts it on Facebook using a Mac. It's a win-win.
Retraction
In The Pride's Oct. 11 issue, the "Breast Cancer Awareness" article
incorrectly spelled Zionna Munoz's last name as "Mnouz." The correct spelling is "Munoz."
The article also said Munoz was diagnosed with breast cancer. In reality, her friend was diagnosed with breast cancer at twenty-six-years
old. As a result, "Munoz began Barbells for Boobs to organize the
Amazing Grace fundraiser. Proceeds are donated to Mammograms
in Action, a non-profit breast-cancer organization of which Munoz is
founder and president," according tojournal.crossfit.com.
With "Shrek the
Third" and "Shrek
Forever After" being
unnecessary contributions to a once great
film series, it was hard
to imagine that "Puss
in Boots" would be
anything more than
yet another addition
of overkill to the series. However, the
spin-off prequel does
just the opposite.
Long before Puss
meets Shrek, "Puss in
Boots" tells the story
of the titular feline
as he reunites with
his childhood friend
and fellow outcast
Humpty Dumpty as
they search for magic
beans. With the help of Kitty
Softpaws, a cat with an expertise in thievery, they set out to
find the magic beans so they can
grow a beanstalk in order to steal
the golden eggs from the golden
goose in the giant's castle in the
clouds.
* The story is elaborate and intertwines several fairy tales by
mixing and substituting the traditional, well-known plot elements.
But that is half the fun here, as
Jack and Jill now possess the
beans, while the former Jack who
once possessed them now goes by
Andy Beanstalk.
It's hot just because his character's name is in the title that Antonio Banderas owns this movie
with his voice work as Puss. He
is once again hilarious, over the
top, heroic and seductive, balancing out all characteristics perfectly. Salma Hayek's character
Kitty Softpaws presents herself
as a fun counterpart for Puss. In
fact, as strange as it may be to say,
Banderas and Hayek's chemistry
is a little too good, a majorly un-
common accomplishment for animated films.
Zach Galifianakis lends his
voice to Humpty Dumpty. With
Humpty being such a misunderstood character, he unfortunately
doesn't give room to Galifianakis
for his usual comedic potential.
Seeing the film in 3D is not absolutely recommended unless you
want to pay a few more dollars
to see the occasional gimmick.
However, children are likely to
get much amusement out of the
use of 3D.
"Puss in Boots" is a surprisingly good movie, returning to the
charm and wit that made "Shrek"
and "Shrek 2" so great. If more
sequels are to come in this new
series, we can only hope that the
successors of this film are just as
rewarding.
"Puss in Boots"
opens in theatres

Mark Wallace kicks off literary series
Intellectual experience for campus and San Marcos community members
Professor Spotlight
A l ook i nto t he l ives o f CSUSM p rofessors •
Kyle M. Johnson
Pride Staff Writer
On Sept. 29, Professor Mark
Wallace read from his book,
"The Quarry and the Lot," as the
first event of CSUSM's fall 2011
Community and World Literary
Series.
In a nearly full classroom auditorium, Wallace, an associate
professor of Literature and Writing Studies at CSUSM, gave
students, faculty and the general
public an opportunity to experience a literary reading from the
author himself. The event provided the audience with a hybrid
presentation that was both personal and professional.
A brief introduction, presented
by Professor Sandra Doller, explained Wallace received the 2002
Gertrude Stein Poetry Award and
authored more than 15 books
and chapbooks of poetry, fiction
and essays. Also, other countries
translated Wallace's writings into
several other languages.
Following the introduction,
Wallace read several short poems
from his collection titled "Belief
is Impossible." Wallace's poetry
proposed ideas and questions that
gave the audience something to
consider. These considerations
came from lines about art, poetry
and thought-provoking questions
directed at the audience.
Wallace then read from "The
Quarry and the Lot," published
earlier this year. The plot of the
;
Brianna Cruz & Ashley Day
Pride Staff Writers
K imber Q u i n n e y
novel follows a group of friends
who reunite following the death
of a childhood friend. Wallace
wrote the novel using four voices
that alternate between the past
and the present.
Wallace forewarned the audience he would not be doing voices for his character, with laughter
ensuing from the audience. He
then advised that when doing a
reading, one should not do voices.
A narration about childhood
experiences, including a reckless
bicycle stunt, first introduced the
audience to the character Nick.
After reading about Nick, Wallace then read several more poems before returning to "The
Quarry and the Lot," introducing
the audience to another character,
Amelia, and her love for the deceased friend, Joseph. Wallace's
voice embodied Amelia as she
spoke of Joseph romantically and
admiringly, seeing him as not just
another one of the boys, but as
something deeper. From Amelia's
perspective, the audience understood Joseph as a tragic, angst-
ridden youth trying to escape
bleak suburbia.
An opportunity for audience
members to ask Wallace any
questions followed the reading.
These questions ranged from different topics including his book,
writing style and writing process.
Many students voiced what they
thought of Wallace's published
work.
"I had read ["The Quarry and
the Lot"] before, so it wjas interesting to see his perspective on
the different characters," Liberal
Studies major Kelsey Carmichael
said.
For those who are unfamiliar
with a guest speaker's work, the
Community and World Literary
Series offers audience members
a free, intimate experience to listen to and interact with writers
as they share their work and give
insight into their writing process.
The series' next"reading will present Tisa Bryant and Amina Cain
on Oct. 27 at CSUSM.

Breast C ancer Awareness
Community activities for a cause
Juliana Stumpp
Pride Staff Writer
October is the month of breast
cancer awareness.
According to the Susan G.
Komen website, in 2011, there
will be 230,480 new cases of
breast cancer in the United States.
Donating money to the American
Cancer Society helps conduct
more research to help find a cure
and save millions of lives.
This month, CSUSM's Associated Student Inc. (ASI) will hold
their annual "Fight for the Cure"
in the Library Plaza during UHour on Thursday, Oct. 13. At the
event, school organizations such
as the Campus Activities Board
(CAB), • Health and Wellness
center, Women's Center and The
Clarke plan to have information
tables.
"I don't think [students] realize
the importance of getting tested
as women," Alicia Perry from
ASI said.
Breast cancer is most common in women, but men can be
involved in raising money. In
previous years, ASI attempted to
put together a Powder Puff game
where students pay to play the
game and the proceeds went to
the American Cancer Society.
"We would have an issue trying"
to get people to sign up because
they wanted their free time to do
something else," Perry said. "Our
goal is to raise funds for research
and to get as many people involved."
This year, ASI is trying a new
approach to raise money. ASI is
getting the men on campus involved in a fun and interesting
way called "Hotties in Heels."
The event entails a group of
young male volunteers dressing up in drag. Participants accept cash and checks payable to
American Cancer Society on behalf of breast cancer awareness.
If you see a cross dresser walking
around campus, be sure to take a
picture with him and your friends
and give him a tip for dressing up
for a great cause.
"Making Strides Against Breast
Cancer" will hold an event in
Balboa Park, San Diego, Sunday,
Oct. 16. It consists of a three to
five mile walk. If students are
interested, attend "Fight for the
Cure" and visit the CAB table to
sign-up and learn more information regarding organizing or joining a team.
For people who live in Temecula, Susan G. Komen Inland Empire will hold their "Race for the
Cure" on Sunday, Oct. 16. The
event is located in the Macy's
parking lot in the Promenade
Mall. Hundreds of local vendors
will give away free merchandise
and sponsor activities for participants.
Last Sunday, Oct. 9, "Barbells
for Boobs" took place at CrossFit
San Elijo to fundraise for "Mammograms for Action."
Zionna Mnouz founded the
foundation. Mnouz went to get
a mammogram in 2009, but was

Happy Hour of the Week:
BJ's Restaurant a nd Brewhouse
A taste of downtown, in Carlsbad
Kristin Melody
Pride Staff Writer
A good microbrew and a deep
dish pizza always make for one
hour of happiness. BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse in Carlsbad
provides enough variety to satisfy
any palette.
BJ's motto, "Discover why it's
always Happy Hour at BJ's,"
proved to be valid not only for its
tasty treats, like the spinach artichoke dip appetizer, but also for
their award-winning beers. BJ's
is more refined than your average
dive bar and their menu supports
the ambience with a wide variety
of items from giant stuffed potatoes to gourmet burgers, pizza and
fish and chips. The most creative
thing to do is to build your own
deep dish pizza using ingredients
including bacon, artichokes, jalapeños and sweet corn. Match that
unique pizza with a specialty beer
($3.95 during happy hour), most
notably the Piranha Pale Ale, BJ's
Jeremiah Red and the gold medalist Belgian style wheat beer,
to create a meal all your own.
BJ's supports craft beer brewing and bjsbrewhouse.com runs
a "Brewer Blog." After you've
filled up on tasty beer and pizza,
direct your eyes to the must try
"Pizookie" dessert: your choice
of a baked cookie covered with
two scoops of vanilla ice cream.
The happy hour deals offer $1
off specialty cocktails, $2 off appetizers and certain nights have
specials like half off all wine
on Tuesday nights or $5 Mojito
Mondays. BJ's happy hour runs
from 3 - 7 p.m. Monday - Friday
and 7 - close Sunday - Thursday.
BJ's atmosphere is reminiscent
of downtown San Diego, with an
indoor and outdoor area, invitingly dim light, <>pen space, an
expansive bar, stylish decoration
and friendly service. It is part of
the attractive dining and shopping
scene near the Carlsbad Flower
Fields, which seems geared toward San Diego tourists but still
provides a fun night out for locals looking to hit up the scene of
Carlsbad.
BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse
is located on Paseo del Norte in
Carlsbad and is open 11 a.m. midnight Monday - Thursday,
11 — 1 a.m. Friday, 10 - 1 a.m.
Saturday and 10 a.m. - midnight
Sunday.
Inventive professor challenges
traditions in entrepreneurial class
Pride Staff Writer
If you enroll in the College of
Business Administration's new
Entrepreneurship 320 class, don't
expect a lot of traditional coursework from professor Scott Landow.
He's teaching his students to
become dreamers.
The first-time professor at Cal
State San Marcos doesn't have a
syllabus and his unorthodox grading criteria includes awarding
points to students who effectively
challenge his ideas, regardless of
whether they're right or wrong!
Landow says he pushes his
student to ask "why not?" because out-of-the-box thinking is
the hallmark of all successful entrepreneurs.
He should know. Landow is
the co-founder and CEO of Solana Beach-based Bridgetech Holdings International, an environment and renewables investment
firm. Before that, he was chairman and CEO of Omaha-based
Bond Laboratories, where he
oversaw the development of new
consumer products such as Fusion Premium Energy Gum and
the hangover prevention drink
Resurrection.
Landow said all successful entrepreneurs have four characteristic traits: "(The) ability to listen,
ability to feel, ability to envision
or see what's not there yet and the
ability to sell."
To teach his students these
traits, Landow's first project this
semestèr was to have them form
teams to create lemonade stands,
the foundation for all young entrepreneurs.
In his loose but engaging lecture style, Landow talked to his
students about how to name their
drink stands.
"Understand a lemon," he said.
"The first priority to naming a
product or business is like naming your first child."
And when telling students
how to choose partners for their
stands, he said, "Go toward people that express the unexpected,
not those that give predictable answers you prefer to hear."
Students in Entrepreneurship
320 say they appreciate Landow's enthusiasm and the unconventional nature of the class. By
the end of the semester, each student will be expected to develop
a marketable product or service.
While owning a successful business is the goal of most
students in the college's Entrepreneurship Track, getting rich
isn't necessarily a goal Landow
espouses. He said he encourages
charitable giving as a way for
business owners to expand their
sales and do good in the world;
"The system doesn't work unless you give back," he said.
"Don't overlook the need to give
back. You can make better contacts through charity than through
business. How thrilling is it to do
something for someone else? I
can't tell you why, (but) it's more
fulfilling."

Where's the value in higher education?
Blaine H. Mogi!
Pride Staff Writer
In 1960, the California State
Department of Education drafted
a 230-page., 15-year master plan
for the University of California,
California State College (later
CSU) and community college
systems with the goal of saving
the state's higher education system from "destruction by unbridled competition."
At the time, those heady words
referred to the competition between the three upper education
systems. But with today's tuition
costs rising rapidly at the UC and
CSU campuses, the Department
of Education should be more concerned about competition from
colleges outside the state-supported systems than any internal
threat.
At a meeting of the UC Regents,
Sept. 13-15, in San Francisco, a
budget proposed by UC leaders
would raise tuition fees by 8 percent to 16 percent for each of the
next four years.
If this budget is approved, annual tuition for UC students
could soar north of $22,000 by
fall 2015. With continued annual hikes, students entering the
system that year could expect the
cost of their diploma to exceed

While the price hikes for CSU

for the state, according to Erik
Fallis with the CSU Chancellor's
office.

Students: let's put on our existential hats for a moment and
ask ourselves the big question:
why are we here (and by "here,"
I mean college)? Why are you—
one specimen in the several billion carbon-based bits of humanity—on this path of higher
education? Don't spout out some
canned response about the terrible
economy and having "no other
choice" but to attend school. The
fact is that you are here for you.
The sad part about attending
college at Cal State San Marcos
is the perception of a "commuter
campus:" one where every student goes to class, goes home and
gets on with his or her life. The
next time you're rushing to beat

remember that the "college experience" offers more than just a

all hurrying to "get out" on time,
but sometimes we just need to
take a breath and appreciate what
a college campus can offer.
So stick around a while after

Get involved. Do something that

a team or a group. Nurture a talent arid surprise yourself. Wander

Fallis said the Chancellor's office has little, if any, political capital to lobby the state for money
because it's required by its charter
to remain neutral. Although thè
office sympathizes with students
who are overburdened by tuition

A little more p arking for
a "little" more money
Melissa Martinez
Pride Staff Writer
If you are a student at CSUSM,
you're probably a commuter.
Therefore, you understand what
it's like paying for parking passes. If you live on campus and own
a vehicle, I 'm sure you understand what it feels like to pay for
a parking pass (as well as overpriced rent and groceries), so it
would be nice to have a parking
spot close to the dorms. Yet you
still find yourself racing through
the dorms trying to beat someone
to the only available parking spot.
This year, CSUSM welcomed
its new and returning students
to use the new parking structure; that addition has definitely
made an impact for those who
may háve to walk back and forth
to campus and their car. Now
that I am a commuter, the parking garage is as full as I 've ever
seen. I typically arrive to school
around 9 a.m., and by then, floors
one through three are completely
packed, four is mainly empty and
the congestion begins again on
floors five and six.
I am greatful for the structure
but I will admit, driving to the
sixth floor can be such a bother.
I interviewed student Cynthia Pérez and she shared her thoughts
on the new structure. I wholeheartedly agreed with Perez when
she said, "[The parking structure]
is pretty good because it is great
to have such an easy access to
parking as opposed to having to
struggle to find some when you're
rushing to class."
As someone who is late almost
every single day, I believe the
new parking structure is a blessing—that is, if you're able to find
parking.
Though the new structure is
both convenient and accessible,
being a student and paying the
prices to park in such a convenient structure has its downfalls.
Perez continued,"The prices are
incredibly hurtful to anyone's
wallet. It seems like a huge convenience fee."
This year, an academic year
parking pass which is valuable
for both fall 2011 and spring 2012
costs $643 (currently sold out).
If you want to buy your pass for
each semester, they are $338 separately. If you wanted to save a
little cash for each semester, you
could always chose to pay for the
X, Y, and Z parking pass for the
semester which will only run you
$254. If you really want to save ~
some dough and you are commuting on a motorcycle, congratulations. Your parking pass will only
run you $70 per semester.
If you decide that it would be
easier to buy daily passes, the
rates are $9 for all day, $7 for five
hours, $6 for 3 hours and $3 for
one hour. Let's face it; who has
this kind of money laying around?

On Sept. 16, the wait was finally over as "Star Wars: The Complete Saga" was released in stunning Blu-ray in North America.
Since then, the set has shattered
Blu-ray sales records. According
to MSNBC.com; Star Wars: The
Complete Saga has earned over
$84 million worldwide in one
week on Blu-ray.
Though sales are strong, the set
is polarizing fans over the constant changes made with every
release of the "Star Wars" movies. Some of the changes in this
release include new dialogue added to the final Darth Vader scene
in "Return of the Jedi," computer-generated eyelids added to the
Ewoks in "Return of the Jedi" and
new dialogue added to Obi-Wan
in "A New Hope." Perhaps some
welcome the changes and regard
them as a new feature to enhance
the experience. However, I cannot speak for this group of people. I belong to the vast majority
of fans who love and enjoy the
theatrical releases of the films.
The average customer review
for "Star Wars: The Complete
Saga" is currently 2.5 out of 5
stars on Amazon.com. Skimming
through over one thousand "onestar" reviews, the general consensus of the fans appears to be an
overwhelmingly negative reaction to the alterations of the films.
Like many fans before me, I am
no stranger to the Star Wars editing controversy. Since the days
of "Han shot first," fans have
slowly lost faith in their beloved
saga. What disappoints me most
is the unfortunate reality that we
as fans have no voice in the future
of "Star Wars." How many years
must we wait until Lucas will
provide us with theatrical cuts
in high definition? As a die-hard
fan, I don't want to have a new,
updated experience with my favorite sci-fi saga every five years.
I want to remember the series for
what it was, not what it has become. There is no doubt that I
would purchase "Star Wars: The
Complete Saga" had the set come
with both the theatrical cuts and
the 2011 Blu-ray edits. Though
the set would cost more, I would
pay (almost) any price to see the
original classic films restored to
visual perfection.
While the Blu-ray releases may
have a wealth of bonus features
and documentaries, I will not
purchase the set due to all the
changes. Many of us fans will
continue to wait for the theatrical cuts, however long they may
take. If growing up with "Star
Wars" taught us anything, there
will always be a new hope... for a
little fan service.
I am not ashamed to say that I
love TLC's "Toddlers & Tiaras"
even though People Magazine
and CNN say I should be.
Here in California, child beauty
pageants are few and far between.
But in the southern U.S., pageants
take over hotel conference rooms
nearly every weekend showcasing children as young as three
months.
Many publications recently
printed less than comprehensive
coverage of the hit show after a
3-year-old dressed as Julia Roberts's character in the movie
"Pretty Woman." You'd be correct in recalling that Roberts's
character is a prostitute.
Similar costuming includes a
4-year-old dressed as Dolly Parton (complete with disproportionate chest enhancement) and a
2-year-old dressed as Madonna.
I will concede to the argument
that beauty pageants for children
are not age appropriate in any
sense. Considering that the infant
categories in many beauty pageants require nothing more than
a $2,000 dress and a doting parent to parade the often drooling,
crying or sleeping, baby across a
stage, there is little support for the
case that the parent is doing the
pageant because the child wants
to.
This is the cardinal problem
with children in beauty pageants:
crazy, scary moms want to be on
stage, so they live vicariously
through their daughters (and
sometimes sons).
Actually, apart from the whole
age appropriateness ordeal (and
the obscene amounts of money
people spend),.that's pretty much
the only real issue with beauty
pageants.
When a kid lacks his or her own
. agency to decide to go onstage,
then you've got a problem. However, MaKenzie Myers of Montgomery, LA has more gumption
than most politicians do when it's
time comes to grace the pageant
stage (YouTube her and you'll see
what I mean). With catch phrases
that include " I'm not doing what
you tell me," "Well, where's my
drink?" and "Put me down so I
can go get back in line," I 'm surprised TLC hasn't tried to capitalize on some line of MaKenzie
dolls spouting any number of her
hilarious lines.
I guess, if you really wanted to,
you could say this ball of energy
is just a bratty little girl with a lenient mother. And, I guess, you
could say this promotes bad behavior, poor self image development, etcetera, etcetera.
However, the portrayal of
these children is meant to shock
viewers and leave them, mouths
agape, waiting for the next
week's installment. I feel I should
also mention that TLC has hired
the best TV editing team that
ever existed; they truly make the
show far more entertaining than it
should be.
Shame on CNN for trying
to make me feel bad. Sure, I
wouldn't recommend the many
CSUSM students with young
children to watch "Toddlers &
Tiaras" to brush up on their parenting skills. However, just entertainment.
CNN: pick on somebody your
own size.

The 'O ffice seturns T hursdays aack
trikes b t 9 p.m.
NBC's h it mockumentaiy' r
Melissa Martinez
Pride Staff Writer
Many of us have been anticipating the return of NBC's mocEumentaiy that first stole our hearts
in 2005. For those who have yet
to become addicted to "The Office," the scripted but much improvised show highlighted the
many talents of actors such as
Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson and
John Krasinski. The return of
the sitcom beginning their eighth
season Thursday, Sept. 22 gave
us the hope that the show can be
equally as controversial and delightful with the absence of Michael Scott.
It wasn't easy knowing that Michael Scott would no longer walk
into the Dunder Mifflin-Sabre
Scranton branch, but the season
opened with a hilarious story line:
planking . While some in the office awkwardly planked in inappropriate places (some expected,
as Meredith was caught planking
under the urinals in the men's restroom), we braced ourselves for
the surprise of new management.
We learn in the beginning of the
opening episode that Robert California (James Spader) talked Jo
(Kathy Bates), the CEO of Dunder Mifflin out of her very own
job but returned to work out of
the meeting room. Pam (Jenna
Fischer) was especially sensitive
due to the fact that she and husband, Jim (John Krasinski) are
expecting their second child, a
son, as well as Angela (Angela)
expecting her first child with her
husband, the senator (whom we
were led to believe was gay). The
biggest surprise of the new season was finding out that Andrew
Bernard (Ed Helms) was named
branch manager by Robert. Regardless if anyone agrees whether
he can successfully run a branch,
we can all agree that he truly cares
about the office and his heart is
in the right place. Personally, I
was confused why he would be
named manager, since I figured
the producers were planning to
go in a different direction as far
as personality. We both know that
Michael Scott and Andy Bernard
are both known to cause mishap
around the office.
Last week's episode was one
that would bring a smile to anyone's face—fan or not. As Andy
handled the "manager expectations" nervously, not wanting to
upset anyone or coming off as'
too strict but also wanting work
to get done, he and very disinterested Darryl tried to hire a new
team of warehouse workers to
take oyer since the old ones quit
after winning the lottery. Since
Phyllis has a very important order to be filled by that night, Erin,
Jim, Dwight and Kevin tried
desperately to figure out how to
load the reams of paper into the
delivery truck through trial and
error, though many ended in error. However, they finally ended
with the process they named "Senor Loadenstein" because it was
"muy rapido." The buzz around
the office consisted of the question "what would you do if you
won the lottery?" As always, Jim
and Pam (affectionately known as
PB&J) stole our hearts with an argument of how they would spend
their "fantasy" life after winning
the lottery. Andy surprised us all
when he took charge in getting
Darryl back into the mood of actually working.
Though I am accustomed to
the mayhem Michael Scott always seems to find himself in, I
am excited for the future of "The
Office" and Dunder Mifflin-Sabre and I am curious to see how
Andy will hopefully prove my
expectation of failing wrong. If
you weren't able to catch it, you
can always watch it the day after
airing on http://wwwiiulu.com.
"The Office" airs on NBC every
Thursday at 9 p.m.
The third season of "Glee" premiered Tuesday, Sept. 20. It
introduced a new array of songs a nd displayed the casts'
many skills in classic rock anthems, musical numbers a nd
even hip-hop a nd pop arrangements. The new season
featured songs such as "We Got the Beat" originally by The
Go-Go's a nd "You C an't Stop the Beat" from the Broadway
musical "Hairspray." In honor of the new season, I have
created my own playlist of the top "Glee" songs performed
in previous seasons. I'll spare the readers by not mentioning
the cast's Journey cover, "Don't Stop Believing."
In the first season, Kristen Chenoweth's character April
Rhodes performed the song "Maybe This Time" alongside
William McKinley's Rachel Berry, played by L ea Michele.
t he song is from the musical "Cabaret," I do not follow musicals, but really enjoyed this song a nd Broadway Star C henoweth was impeccable in her v ocal range.
Characters Puck (Mark Sailing) a nd Quinn (Diana Agron)
realized they were going to have a baby, but couldn't
choose her name. Puck sang "Beth" originally by '80s b and
KISS. The heart-warming ballad was touching, especially for
a character with such e dge. The background vocalists offered support physically a nd musically.
Will Schuester, played by Matthew Morrison, performed
the final song of season one, "Over the Rainbow" with Puck
playing the ukulele beside him. This song was the perfect
ending for season one because it is such a classic, put a
tear in my eyes a nd kept the audience on the e dge of our
seats for season two.
Season two's Britney Spears themed episode skyrocketed
"dumb blonde" cheerleader, Brittany S. Pierce (Heather
Morris) to a viewer beloved character. Brittany exposed her
amazing dancing talents. The song she sung a nd d anced
to, "I'm a Slave 4 U" a nd other popular Britney hits, shocked
the audience a nd made Brittany an instant favorite member of the "Glee" cast.
Season two also introduced viewers to the character
Blaine Anderson (Darren Criss) created a buzz around
"Glee's" William McKinley High a nd for Gleeks everywhere.
Saying goodbye to boyfriend Kurt (Chris Colfer), Blaine a nd
competitor glee club, the Warblers, performed the song
"Somewhere Only We Know" by Keane. This song melted
viewer's hearts because it musically intensified the love between Blaine a nd Kurt.

jOctober's Feature: "We Bought A Zoo,"
by Benjamin Mee
Nostalgic novel steals hearts
Kyle M. Johnson
Pride Staff Writer
It should come as no surprise
that Benjamin Mee's appropriately-titled memoir "We
Bought a Zoo" is about a family who, well, buys a zoo.
In his novel, Mee documents
his experiences during the restoration of his zoo leading up
until the opening day. In the
midst of this overwhelming
yet exciting process, tragedy
strikes when Mee's wife dies.
Instead of putting life and the
zoo on hold, Mee uses the onset
of opening day as a productive
distraction from his loss.
Mee's accounts of this time
in his life are heartwarming
and sweet and, at times, devastating. The balance between
moments of tragedy and frustration are carefully balanced
with humorous or even tense
interactions between the humans and the animals.
However, Mee's storytelling
is sometimes difficult to progress through due to the minimal dialogue in the. text. His
story often feels as if you are
listening to someone recount a
series of incidents while often
withholding any conversations
that may have taken place during the events.
With the story being told
from Mee's point of view, his
illustration of himself is wonderfully humbling. His ability
to be touched by subtle ges-

2011 CSUSM Hearst/CSU Trustees' Award recipient
Lauren Holland overcomes tragedies to receive the CSU's highest honor
CSUSM grad student Lauren
Holland decided to channel her
grief into action.
Next June, the 47-year-old single mother from Ramona will
graduate with a master's degree
in Sociological Practice with an
emphasis in pedestrian safety research . Her master thesis will
focus on the statistics behind child
pedestrian fatalities and how fam-
ilies grieve, cope and make sense
of a senseless tragedy.
Last week / Holland was honored for her dedication and 3.88
GPA with the Hearst/CSU Trustees' Award, one of the highest
forms of recognition for student
achievement in the CSU system.
The Hearst award is given to just
one student at each CSU campus
annually, recognizing merit, academic achievement and community service in the face of financial and personal hardships.
"It's an honor to be selected
with a handful of my peers to be a
Hearst Scholar," Holland said, in
a press release. "The award validates my hard work and encourages me by knowing that people
are behind me and supporting me
in achieving my goals."
Holland was in the final months
of her senior year at San Diego
State when she got the news
about her nephew's son, Zaeh
Cruz, who was struck by a truck
and killed in a suburban crosswalk after getting off a school bus
in Berkeley on Feb. 2 7,2009.
Holland finished her Bachelor
of Arts in Anthropology with cum
laude honors, and threw herself
into advocating for pedestrian
safety through the Zachary Michael Cruz Foundation, established by Zach's parents, Frank
and Jodie Cruz. She hopes that
she can use her master's degree
to lobby for pedestrian safety issues at the regional and national
levels.
"I want to be an even stronger
voice advocating for pedestrian
safety education, enforcement
and engineering," she said, explaining that each year more than
1,000 pedestrians lose their lives
in preventable accidents. "I know
I can make a difference and the
Hearst Award further reminds me
to continue to push forward and
give my very best."
Holland's own life has been
touched by tragedy as well. She
worked a series of low-wage jobs
while raising two children on her
own. Then several years ago, she
was working on a construction
project near SDSU when an accident at the jobsite left her with
a disabling back injury.
Although it had been more than
two decades since she'd been in
a classroom, Holland knew she'd
need to get an education to land a
well-paying desk job, so she went
back to school at San Diego State.
She graduated in 2010.
She's also volunteered her time
with the March of Dimes, Head
Start, Zonta International, the
U.N. Association of San Diego
and a local sobering facility,
among other organizations.
Holland is one of 23 CSU students to receive the Hearst Award
this fall. She received a $3,000
scholarship and a Sony technology package (including a notebook
computer and camera).

�Red Bull Athlete Terry Adams takes a spin on campus
Jessie Gambrell
Pride Staff Writer
At U-Hour on
Thursday, Sept.
23, CSUSM students watched
Red Bull Athlete,
Terry
Adams, do a
BMX demo
on campus
at our very
own Library
Plaza.
Adams, age 28, has
been a professional in
Flatland BMX since he
was 16 years old and has
competed in tournaments
all over the world, winj ning a Gold Medal in the
¡ 2005 X Games and also
scoring Ride BMX Magazine's Number One
Ride Award
in 2005 and 2008.
"I wanted to be a professional,"
Adams said.
When asked about what got him
into Flatland, Adams continued,
"When I looked it up, it looked
more artsy. It was different."
Flatland is a freestyle BMX riding style performed on smooth,
flat surfaces that do not include
any ramps, jumps or grind rails.
By some, it is called "artistic cycling" and can even be related to
break dancing, according to Mick
Ross of In Air on Ground Freestyle BMX.
Adams grew up in Louisiana
and was homeschooled. He graduated at the age of 15 and then
attended Louisiana State University for one semester before he
decided he wanted to focus on his
BMX career instead.
Red Bull sponsored Adams
since 2003. He has been touring
the United States these past few
weeks doing demos at 50 differ-
ent colleges.
"It is very chill, spreading
awareness about what I do. It is a
cool opportunity from Red BuU,"
Adams said. He continued, "Students here are in a good mood.
They are a little more stoked,"
when asked about how it was performing here at CSUSM. .
The big Red Bull truck, called
the Red Bull MXT, came out and
opened up its speakers, blasting
party music throughout Library
Plaza. Students gathered as Adams showed off some of his cool
moves, including his own trick,
Katrina, that he named after the
2005 hurricane Katrina. Students
were handed "spirit" towels to
twirl around which added to the
festivity of the hour. With the
crowds cheering, Adams continued to entertain the students by
balancing, spinning and hopping
with his bike.
On a break, Red Bull
handed out two free T-
* shirts to the first two people that
showed up to the Red Bull MXT.
"One of the lucky winners was Dylan Baquero who started to "shuffle" in the center of the plaza after
winning his T-shirt.
"I won a t-shirt! And it's cool
spirit," Baquero said when asked
what drove him to dance.
Throughout the demo, Red
Bull's Wiiings Team girls gave
out free Red Bulls to the students.
"This is the coolest back-toschool event we've been to,"
Gina Lucas said, one of the Wiiings team girls.
Students also responded to the
event with enthusiasm. "It was a
great experience. It shows the diversity of the campus," ASI VP of
Marketing, Ken LaLonde, said.

CSUSM Surf Team ttracts any for tryouts
Morgan Hall
Pride Staff Writer
.
CSUSM surf team tiyouts occurred Sunday, Sept. 18. Calm
water and bad waves added pressure to student surfers interested
in joining the fall 2011 - spring
2012 team.
"It is a little nerve racking because the waves aren't too good
today," senior Tyler Noonan said.
"You're lucky just to catch a few
good waves," he added.
Noonan, who surfed for his
high school team and was trying
out for the first time, said that he
looks "forward to being able to
get back into surf competitions
and meet new surfers this season."
This year, the Cal State San
Marcos Surf Team tryouts gave
each surfer three 15-minute heats
to catch as many waves as he or
she could with only the two highest scoring waves counting toward the overall score.
"We're looking for length,
turns and connecting rides and, of
course, the more you do the more
points you will get," team captain, Ashley Aronson said.

the inaugural team back in 2001, tinue to surf and come to tryouts

�Cornwell, women win; men finish third at UC Riverside
Kyle Trembley
Contributor
Competing in their second race
of the season, Cal State San Marcos women's and men's crosscountry both had strong showings
at the UC Riverside Invitational.
The women remarkably swept
the top-five collegiate spots to
win the 5K Open, while the men
placed third in a stacked field in
the 8K Invitational.
Running against a field that
featured NCAA schools like San
Jose State and Cal State Los Angeles, the two-time defending
NAIA National Champion and
#2-ranked CSUSM women's
team dominated the 5K on Saturday, Sept. 17: Suzanne Cornwell won the race outright with
an outstanding time of 17:11 - the
second fastest in CSUSM crosscountry history.
After four unattached (noncollegiate) runners crossed the
finish line, including CSUSM alums Whitney Patton and Jennifer
Albright, the next collegiate finisher to cross the line was Carol
Schryver. A 2010 All-American,
Schryver ran 17:44 to place seventh overall and second in the
collegiate competition.
Two more Cougars were right
behind her as Chelsey Cortez
continued her strong start to the
season by placing eighth at 17:47,
and two-time All-American Cady
Villarreal taking ninth at 17:48.
One spot later, Kelly Thompson finished in eleventh place
at 18:02, giving the Cougars a
sweep of the top-five collegiate
spots.
Leading the remaining competitors for CSUSM were Heidi
Swanson (14th, 18:09), Cassidy
Reich (20th, 18:17), and Aubriele
Rowe (28th, 18:30).
On the men's side, the Cougars
posted a strong third-place finish,
only finishing behind Southern
Utah and host schooi UC Riverside and finishing in front of
NAIA competitors Cal Baptist
and Master's College in the 25team field.
So far this season, Danny Lyon
and 2010 Ail-American Western
Nelson have established themselves as the two top runners for
the Cougars and that held true on
Saturday, Sept. 17. Nelson placed
eighth in the field of nearly 250
runners, coming within 2 seconds
of breaking the school record for
the 8K with a time of 24:16.
Right behind him was Lyon,
who took ninth with a time of
24:19. Nelson and Lyon are both
All-American threats, and having two runners of that class is a
major reason why Coach Steve
Scott's #7-ranked men's crosscountry team is in the hunt for its
first National Championship.
Of course, to win a national title
lililP
it takes depth and CSUSM will
be looking to build that throughout the 2011 season. On Sept. 17,
Ismael Rodriguez placed 43rd at
25:20, Ryan Jensen took 48th at
25:22 and Armando Lara rounded
out the team's top-five by placing
58th at 25:29, all finishing within
10 seconds of one another to help
the team to its third place finish.
Leading the remaining Cougars were Easton Tackett (72nd;
25:36) and Lenny Santana (75th;
25:37).
CSUSM cross-country will be
back in action in two weeks at the
Pomona Pitzer Invitational.

"Tips for textbook buying"
In the Sept. 13 issue of The
Pride, the article, "Tips for
textbook buying" incorrectly
listed Interlibrary Loan (ILL)
as a resource for obtaining textbooks. ILL is a service available to students for obtaining
different forms of research for
course related projects.
"Interlibrary Loan staff search
and order requested materials
from a worldwide database.
Material requested through ILL
typically arrive at the Library
within one to two weeks. You
are notified via your CSUSM
email account when the material arrives, books are held for
pickup and articles are delivered to you electronically," Teri
Roudenbush of Library Resource Services said.
Also, materials from ILL are
never delivered to your home
but rather held at the circulation desk on the third floor of
the Kellogg Library.

All of us CSUSM students
could use at least an hour of happiness, and Players Sports Bar delivers all the way, including TVs
over the urinals.
I spent this week's Happy Hour
at Players off Twin Oaks Valley
Rd. across from campus, which is
open from 10 a.m. - 2 a.m. and
has Happy Hour from 2 - 7 p.m.
Monday - Friday. For all you local or new students, this is a great
place to meet fellow students because it is close to campus and
supports a young scene. If you
have any love for Padres or Red
Sox, this place will sympathize
with you.
The Happy Hour deals included
$1 off wine, beer and wells; you
will also get $2 off appetizers
including their delicious, picante
chips and salsa. Enjoy the tasty
potato wedges while watching
a late season baseball game on
one of their 21 large TVs. Another commendable part of Players was the beer list that included
local breweries like Lost Abbey,
Ballast Point and Green Flash
as well as foreign and domes-tic brews. Indulge in craft beers
like Lost Abbey's Red Barn Ale
and Rogue's Hazelnut Brown for
$2.75 each while gawking at the
100 oz. "tubes" of domestic beer
at the next table. The beer happy
hour prices ranged from $2.75 $9 for 16 oz. For those transplant
students from the northeast, Players' beer includes Magic Hat #9V
the famous craft beer of that area.
If you are free on a Wednesday,
head over to "Kick the Keg" to
enjoy that week's domestic beer
keg at $2 - $4 a pint from 2 p.m.
until the keg is empty.
Other enjoyment for family,
18+, and 21+ included the two
pool tables and outdoor seating
withfireplaces and sporty atmosphere. Players is a great place to
meet new friends from CSUSM,
take someone on a date or relax
after a long day of classes.

value, but alas, I will likely never
find out. The best Mexican food
will be the focus in our next issue.

I can't tell whether this university wants to have a homecoming
celebration or not. Based on the
limited school spirit and developing athletic department, one can't
really expect to enjoy any sort of
traditional homecoming events.
Enter King and Queen elections .
Yes. You get to witness the first
Cal State San Marcos Homecoming King and Queen receive
his and her crowns at the homecoming jsoccer game at noon on
Oct. 1. On Thursday, Sept. 29,
the top three candidates based on
the results of an electronic ballot
(currently live through today at
csusm.edu/homecoming) will be
announced at 12:30 p m. during
CougarFest according to campus
announcements.
Each student is allowed one
vote, so choose your top three
candidates wisely. The student
body nominated eight candidates
for king and 11 for queen; students can read about the candidates' reasons for running in short
statements posted on the ballot.
The ballot interestingly makes a
distinct separation between king
and queen, perhaps because there
are candidates of both genders
running for both positions.
Jennifer Meneray and Arthur
Silverstein are running for king
and queen, respectively. Notice
that I did indeed get my order of
words correct: we have a female
running for king and a male running for queen.
When I first discovered this
nontraditional homecoming ballot, the first thought to enter my
mind was something to the effect
of, "Why haven't I heard of this
yet?"
"I could not care less," senior
Amanda Puckett said. "I'm happy they have free time," Puckett
continued, saying that homecoming is more of a distraction than
anything.
Puckett's statement bears validity with me, especially considering her choice word of "apathetic" when describing her feelings
about homecoming in general.
"[Meneray and Silverstein]
want people to question gender
identity. They want voters to
question why a king is a king and
a queen is a queen," Puckett said.
"Homecoming Kings are often looked at as people who take
charge of things, who are leaders, who challenge injustice and
encourage understanding of different identities," Meneray said
in her campaign statement, leading readers to believe that she is
in the business of redefining who
can fit that role.
"I did not nominate myself for
homecoming court," Meneray
said in an email interview with
me. The person who nominated
Meneray only nominated her to
run, but not for king or queen specifically. "To be honest and true to
my personal identity and to support one of the communities I am
part of, I knew that I had to run
for king."
I wondered why Meneray felt
she could not be as effective of a
leader if crowned as a queen. She
responded, "Queen just doesn't
feelrightto me, and I would hate
to try and take on that label without identifying with it."
The Pride asked Silverstein the
same questions as Meneray, but
he did not offer comment.
"I work with [Silverstein], the
guy running for queen," Brandon
Torres said, junior and Psychology and Sociology major. "Arthur
is more tongue-in-cheek about
it—more on the comical side, like
he's saying, 'Yeah, I'll be queen'
"I think [Meneray's] reasons for
running are more political," Torres continued.
"On campus I am very active
in a variety of organizations that
support social justice," Meneray
said in an interview. She is the
president of the Women's Studies
Student Association and is a certified Sexual Assault/Domestic Violence advocate for the Women's
Resource Center in Oceanside.
Meneray continued to clarify
her reasons for running as Homecoming King: "Does it have to do
with the politics of the labels and
how exclusive the labels are? Yes,
it has a lot to do with the labels
and how they normally distributed."
Although Meneray has not run
for homecoming court at any
other institution, she did attend
high school prom with her samesex partner. Although she said she
has not experienced any negativity from CSUSM thus far about
her choice to run as king, she did
feel some resistance to expressing
her lifestyle in high school. "People said we made a great couple,
but our yearbook editors would
not publish our prom picture in
my yearbook since we were both
women."
Students on campus responded
positively to the news of Silver-
stein's and Meneray's choices to
run as queen and king. "I think
times are changing. People are
more accepting and I'm really
happy about that," sophomore
and Kinesiology major Joanne
Cayabyab said.
"I think it's great," Julio Zuniga, History and Political Science
major, said. "We passed a barrier—broke down a wall."
After talking with several students, I've come to conclude that
while no one really cares about
homecoming on this campus,
people are happy that the university will allow students to express
different lifestyles through the
homecoming celebration. I can't
say that this means our university
is more accepting than other universities; from my years on this
campus, I've come to determine
that CSUSM is a conservative
institution that is quite concerned
with maintaining a certain image.
But, I won't go there today.
It would appear that "not caring" is one of the first steps toward progress. Acceptance seems
to create a positive blindness to
social change—sort of that, "Oh,
I didn't notice" effect.
When I asked Torres why he
thought people didn't seem to
react much to the news of Silverstein and Meneray, he responded
quite appropriately: "Why should
you?"
The Pride makes ho claim to
support or endorse one candidate
over another.

Hot Off the Reel

Investing in "Moneyball"
It's almost prophetic that a film
about one of the poorest franchises in Major League Baseball
will likely be one of the most
underappreciated sports films of
all-time. It's a shame, too.
Billy Beane (Brad Pitt), the
general manager of the Oakland
Athletics, sets out to compile a
successful baseball roster with
the help of Peter Brand (Jonah
Mill) and an incredibly modest
budget. With, the entire MLB
against them, Beane and Brand
set out to prove that it's possible
to create a winning team with
comparatively little money.
Moneyball" is a baseball
movie with an asterisk: it features very little field action of
the game. In fact, it isn't until the
last half hour of the movie until
we're placed on the field with
the players during a game, but
with good reason. With Beane's
distance he keeps between himself and the game, it makes sense
that viewers wouldn't witness
anyfield-actionuntil Beane puts
himself near the field.
Instead of your conventional
baseball film, what "Moneyball"
offers is a behind-the-scenes
look at the mechanics of what
goes into developing a baseball
roster and a successful franchise.
Pitt delivers a realistic portrayal of a man who missed his own
major league victory and wants
to give it to those deserving of
it. Hill is warm as the driven assistant who somehow ended up
working in baseball despite his
educational background. Also,
look out for Kerris Dorsey as
Beane's concerned daughter,
who rather impressively performs a cover of Lenka's "The
Show" as a way to reach out to
her dad.
-Moneyball" offers a true story
about the heart and determination that must go into success
and the compromises needed to
reach life's little victories.
See the movie, write a review. If y ou put your review on The Pride's
Facebook page y ou might s ee it in our next i ssue.
How killin' is "Killer Elite?"
With movie trailers and posters
for "Killer Elite" marketing it as
"based on a true story," one may
think that this be Jason Statham's
return to action films with substance. However, upon viewing
the film, aüdience members may
ask how much of this is true,
with some scenes leaving you
consumed in disbelief and awe.
Danny (Statham) is a retired
special-operations agent who
returns to his old lifestyle in order to save his partner, Hunter
(Robert De Niro), who is being
held captive. Hunter's captor is a
man who has lost three sons in
war and wants justice from his
sons' killers to be carried out by
Danny. He must obtain the soldiers' confessions and make their
deaths look like accidents. While
carrying out his mission, Danny is then confronted by Spike
(Clive Owen), who intends to put
a stop to these killings due to his
attachment and association with
the targets.
The actors are all very entertaining to watch. Statham, playing a layered-version of his usual
self, is determined to prove that
what we do does not define us.
De Niro is fun as the wisecrack
ing mentor, leaving us wishing
for more screen-time. Owen
plays a strong roadblock in
Statham's path.
The action sequences, while
immensely exciting, are sporadic. We are often left with many
(in comparison) slower sequences. These sequences, however,
are necessary to the plot and en
tertaining in execution. One such
scene involves the developing of
a mallet that matches the tiles of
one target's shower, in order to
make his death seem like an accident.
The dialogue is cheesy with
the formulaic, bad (but fun),
popcorn-flick one-liners be
ing spouted regularly. A notable
catch phrase worthy line in
volves a character shouting, "BI-N-G-(expletive)-0!"
If you're looking for a cat-andmouse action/thriller with refreshing and perhaps ridiculously, complex action sequences,
see "Killer Elite."

Do you remember picking up
your dog and singing mcomprehensively at the top of your lungs
while you held your poor pup
in the air? This signature stance
derives from none other than
Disney's 32nd classic film, 'The
Lion King," that made its (iebut
into the world and our hearts in
1994.
The critically acclaimed animated classic was tremendously
successful in the box offices and
was quite popular, winning three
Golden Globes for Best Original
Score for a Motion Picture, Best
Original Song for a Motion Picture and Best Motion Picture in
Comedy/Musical as well as two
SCfoOQi*
Oscars for Best Musical Score
and Original Song.
With the "The Lion King" in
theaters this September, 90s kids
as well as children everywhere
were given the opportunity to
relive their childhood and experience the tragic but musically
genius adventure in a way no
one has ever experienced before:
in 3D. A friend and I went to the
opening weekend and we weren't
able to contain our joy as soon as
"Circle of Life" started playing.
We, along with many 5-year-olds
and their stressed out parents,
watched in awe as Mufasa and
Simba came to life right before
our very eyes.
Though I have seen this movie
countless times, the experience of
watching it restored and three-dimensional was something I never
thought I would be able to witness. Colors and scenes danced
out right in front of me, and the
elimination of the unpopular song
addition titled "Morning Report"
to the DVD version was delightful. Watching Mufasa's infinite
wisdom, Scar's evil antics and
the silliness of Timon and Pumba brought back memories of a
childhood when my biggest concern was me falling asleep before
Rafiki got Simba back to Pride
Rock in time before the hyenas
took over—a time before school,
work and adult responsibilities
consumed my life.
Though the viewing is limited,
the experience of reliving my
childhood was irreplaceable.
