they can be reassured that
the best is yet to come in

developing a University
District with a North City
development area, part of
which begins construction
February 2012.
The Quad, the new student dormitory building
which is across the street
from the main campus and
located on Barham Drive,
is the first phase of what
will come to be known as
the North City development, a part of the new
San Marcos University
District.
On Nov. 28 the city of
San Marcos accepted a $1
million grant from California Natural Resources
Agency to help construct
part of this district.
This grant goes toward
restoration of habitat and
construction of a multipurpose trail alongside
San Marcos creek.
Part of the construction will include 308 new
'beds' opening at The
Quad, which will open
for fall of next year. Priority applications will be
accepted until March of
2013 and are reviewed
upon a first come, first

With the spring semester class registration open
since Nov. 15, classes
have been filling up fast,
leaving some students
feeling the pressure of getting classes they both need
and want to take.
With the implement of
the unit cap for the spring
2013 semester, set to be
lifted Dec. 17, many students are trying to take the
classes they need, classes
that fit into their schedules
and take the maximum
amount of units to graduate on time and as quickly
as possible.
"There is a new Sociology of Immigration class
that I was looking at and
wanted to take, but it
didn't fit into my schedule. I really wanted to
take it though because it
looked interesting," student Angie Curiel said.
"Right now, there are a
few classes that are looking quite full, but most do
not have many students
waitlisted. In many cases,
where sections are full,
there are other sections of
the same class with seats

Deciding to spend their
money on books or a parking pass can be a tough
decision for most students
and their financial academic planning.
With the strict regulations enforced this semester in parking lots on and
around campus, students
are beginning to consider
whether investing in a
parking pass for the se-
mester will be cheaper
than paying hundreds of
dollars in tickets and towing fees.
Previously, students resulted to parking in the
lots of Palmoar Pomerado
Health center to avoid
paying for passes, however PPH began enforcing
their parking regulations
this semester and towing
unauthorized
vehicles,
pushing the students back
to parking lots on campus.
"I realized that I ' d rather
park off-campus and walk
an extra ten minutes than
pay the ridiculous parking
pass fee. As a student, I
can't afford extra expenses on top of increasing tuition" said senior, Brandon
Torres.
However, since the beginning of a new semester
also means new books,
new printer ink, warmer
clothes and of course,
summer classes to save
up for, buying a parking

North City will be the
largest
development.
North City is currently being zoned for mixed use,
which means that there
will b e both residential
and commercial properties, with student housing
as a large and important
part of the area.
North City will be geared
to the student population
as a "Live, work, play hub
with restaurants and retail
that are student-serving in
nature," Communications
Officer with the City of
San Marcos, Jenny Windie said.
OINTHE
The city plans show that
The Quad is slated to be on
the corner of Campus Way
and North City Drive.
This means that Barham
Drive, which is where The
Quad is currently located,
will have a name-change
as part of the development.
In preparation, students
should become familiar
with all routes to campus,
to avoid future confusion
and construction.
The University District
is a part of the city's efforts to create a popular
and thriving central downtown region.
The area will eventually

merge with and be touching the Creek District, an
effort to preserve and appreciate the natural environment of San Marcos.
For example, new developments will be considered pedestrian-oriented.

agree that a $9 parking
permit for the day is much
cheaper than a $50 ticket.
However, permit prices regularly are $338
for general parking or if
you're only on campus a
few times a week. The $9

some wallets.
With some students receiving the $249 Prop 30

If you are an avid beachgoer, it is inevitable that
you are going to contract
some sort of illness due to
environmental and human
contamination.
World beaches and
oceans certainly aren't the
cleanest playgrounds on
Earth and they expose you
to many viruses, parasites,
and bacteria. In addition,
ocean water becomes
contaminated with sewage storm run-off and oil,
making you more susceptible to getting sick.
According to the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, microorganisms can enter through
the oral route (ingestion),
through the eyes, ears and
nose, or through an open
wound. Common moreserious illnesses you are at
risk for include hepatitis A
and MRS A, giardia, leptospirosis and many others.
According to Surfers
Against Sewage, surfers are three times more
likely to contract hepatitis
A than the general
public. Hepatitis
A is a contagious
liver disease that
results from infection with the
hepatitis A virus
and can be transmitted through exposure
to contaminated water as
well as many other routes.
M ethicillin-resistan t
Staphylococcus
aureus
(MRSA) is caused by an
infection most often resistant to antibiotics—a huge
problem for ocean enthusiasts, especially surfers.
Individuals who engage in
ocean sports are more susceptible to getting MRSA
from the ocean due to entering the ocean with open
wounds. MRSA has been
cultured near shores and
in storm and sewer waters,
imposing a huge risk of
entering the ocean after a
heavy rainfall.
Parasites and bacteria
cause other illnesses like
giardia and leptospirosis,
respectively. It is especially common in places
without proper sanitation
to come into contact with

bacteria and parasites,
which will cause serious
and uncomfortable complications.
Everyone is susceptible
to these infections after
entering the ocean; however, it is important that
you take necessary preventive measures. These
include good hand washing and hygiene practices, and ensuring that you
don't enter the ocean until 48 to 72 hours after a
heavy rainfall.
Understanding that the
ocean contains contaminants detrimental to your
health and taking necessary precautions will ultimately increase your
time to use it as your playground.

Question: When did
you start playing basketball?
Answer: I first started
playing basketball when
I was in the third grade
with my dad teaching
me the-game. This then
led to me joining a club
team in Santa
Barbara, in the fourth grade.
Q: What first attracted
you to the sport?
A: I was first attracted to
the sport of basketball by
how fast it was compared
to all the other sports that
I tried to play. It was the
most fun for me.

have supported me ever
since I started playing the
game.
Q: What is the best advice you ever received
from a coach, supporter,
etc.?
A: The best advice I received is that hard work
outworks talent when talent doesn't work hard,
from my dad when I was
little.
Q: Do you plan on
pursuing anything basketball-related after college?
A: I plan on pursuing
basketball after college,
whether it's coaching the
game or continuing playing the game.

Last year's baseball season didn't end the way
head coach Dennis Pugh
and the rest of the Cougar community hoped it
would have, with an early
exit out of the NAIA tournament,
Coach Pugh has high
hopes for this year's team
to make a run for a national title.
"We were disappointed
last year with the early
loss. We want to at least
make thè nationals this
year. We are deeper in
pitching and should make
up for not being as deep
in offense," Coach Pugh
said on this year's expec-
tations.
The Cougars are returning this season with last
year's A.I.I. conference
pitcher of the year and
NAIA Ail-American selection, James Dykstra,
who Coach Pugh said
they are very fortunate
to have back this season.
Dykstra pitched lights out
last season, and will carry
the CSUSM pitching staff
that the team will rely on
this year.
The team also returns
with center fielder Kyle
Secciani and third baseman Kyle Belzer, a first
team conference selection
last season.
Coach Pugh comes into
this season with a bevy
of new transfers ready to
make an impact on the
Cougar squad. "It was a
great recruiting season.
With the transfers and recruits, we are a better team
this year,"Pugl^said.
The Cougars start the
season with a tough test
on Feb. 1 against conference foe and highly talented Concordia, which
Coach Pugh said is a good
way to start the season off
and get into it with a tough
matchup like this one, and
is a must-watch game for
all.
With the team's deep
pitching staff, and once
they get going offensively,
the Cougars should be a
force to be reckoned with
in the conference and beyond.

study schedule with individual gods for every day
you plan to prepare, that
way you do not become
too overwhelmed and
know what you can accomplish each day before
drifting off to sleep.
2. Eat Healthy
When studying for exams, healthy eating is a
must. While the ice cream
and Bagel Bites look appetizing, your mind works
much better when you are
eating food that helps you
think instead of making
you tired. Try snack food
alternatives like grapes,
yogurt, carrots or salads.
Almonds, peanuts, walnuts and cashews especially are known for being
good sources of energy.
Trading in the M&Ms and
candy bars for healthy
alternatives might sound
like a hassle, but by the
time your exams come up,
you will be feeling much
more awake and alert.
3. Get Hydrated
Although it can be
tempting with a Starbucks
on campus, try to avoid
the sugary frappachino
and coffee runs. Getting
yourself hydrated with
beverages like water and

Old years resolutions
How reflecting on the past resolutions can influence 2013's
BY KEANDRE WILLIAMS-CHAMBERS
COPY EDITOR
The 2013 year is just
over the horizon and it's
almost time to have a new
set of goals to complete.
But before you make
those new resolutions,
it may be a good idea to
evaluate the resolutions
you made last year.
New Years is a time of
looking forward and taking any mistakes you've
made in the past and finally applying the lessons
learned. However, in order
to complete this endeavor,
you would need to keep
in mind your performance
from the last year.
Ask yourself; do you
remember your resolutions from January, 2012?
And if you do, how long
did you keep those? Did
you stay true to them, or
did you decide they were
impossible? And most
importantly, were they
realistic enough that you
could stay to it?
Second year student
Maribel Olea contemplated these questions
deeply. She recalled making wishes for the ending
year, which did eventually
come true.
"Well, I remembered
that I wished to be more
open and meet more people, [and] to be closer to
people. It forced me to get
out my comfort zone. It
took a long time, but each
time I tried, things got better " Olea said.
Effort was an important
part on the completion of
Olea's goals. She made
her goals something that
were both realistic and
attainable, which made
them much more likely to
come to pass.
Second year student Karen Guzman remembers
her New Years resolution
clearly.
She made her goal wide
enough in terms of time
so that she could give herself the time and focus
to achieve it, but made
it specific and important
enough so that she could
not lose sight on it.
An important thing to
note when making your
resolutions f o r the New
Year is to make certain
that they are attainable.
Don't over-think a goal,
because the likelihood
of it coming to pass will
dim as time goes on. It'll
require too much effort.
Make it simple, make it
sweet. Let yourself want it
enough to work for it, but
make it sweet enough so
that you won't lose interest. And most of all, make
it something worthwhile.
The more value you
place on it, the more likely
you'll want it and regret it
if you don't try for it.

B Y K A T U N S WEENE Y
FEATURES EDITOR
If you have been spending long hours studying
for your finals and are already feeling the stress,
"Pause For Paws" is the
study break for you.
On Dec. 6, students will
be visited by the members
of Love on a Leash: Foundation For Pet-Provided
Therapy. There will be a
dozen certified therapy
dogs of all sizes from the
foundation on campus.
These animal 'therapists'
are specialized in helping
students get their minds
stress-free to relax for a
few hours.
CSUSM is one of many
college campuses that are
using animals to help students cope with the pressure to do well on exams.
"Many campuses in San
Diego, including SDSU,
and around the country
have similar events. Yale
Law School library even
provides a dog-lending
program!" Outreach Librarian Melanie Chu said.
For the fourth consecutive semester, Kellogg
Library is bringing these
therapy dogs on campus
to give students a study
break. CSUSM considers helping their students
succeed while making
sure they do not become
overwhelmed is one of
their top priorities when it
comes to exam time.
"Numerous
research
studies have shown that
the simple act of petting
a dog releases the 'feel
good' hormone, oxytocin,
and lowers blood pressure. Therapy dogs work
with nursing homes, hospitals, veterans, public
libraries—so we* wanted
to bring them to CSUSM
too!" Chu said.
Make sure to take the
necessary study breaks to
keep yourself refreshed
and focused for your upcoming finals. Pause For
Paws will be from 10 a.m.
to 2 p.m. on Thursday
Dec. 6 at the third floor
main entrance to Kellogg
Library near Starbucks.

(or second, smaller pot) and place in the pot in the other pot of boiling water. 3 .) Stir periodically until all of the chips have melted and
become one solid mass. 4 .) Dump the Chow Mein noodles, peanuts and marshmallows into a mixing bowl. 5 .) Then scoop out butterscotch
into mixing bowl. 6 .) Stir together gently until the butterscotch has been mixed through all of the dry ingredients. 7 .) With a fork and spoon,

O PINIO N EDITOR
This is the last week of
school, not including finals week. For some, this
is the last step in their
undergraduate
career.
Provided I have no unexpected surprises in the
next few weeks, I will be
joining the ranks of the
CSUSM alumni.
I used to say that I would
graduate; god-willing and
time-permitting.
Finally, the moment has
materialized. I have one
more paper to turn in and
two finals to take. It may
seem like a light load but
getting to this point has
been both difficult and rewarding.
Classes are enough of
a load. For those of you
know, I am also a single
mother. I started going
to college in 2004. Eight
years later, I get to complete my goal.
Hopefully, my story is
not a bore. I intend to relay a few facts of life that
got me to where I am today.
I have been working
since I was 16 years old.
By 2006, I was making
$18 an hour, more than
double the current minimum wage. At that time,
I took my savings and
began a study abroad experience. In 2008,1 could
barely find work at $10
per hour for positions that
either had the same or
more responsibilities.
Furthermore,
schools
were impacted and I had
to re-apply for admission.
T h e h ear t of Christma s
B Y JESSIE GAMBRELL
Co-A&E

As I am sure many of
you have wondered, just
what exactly does the
word "Christmas" mean?
Well it is simple really,
all it means is "Christ,"
"Mass:" The mass of Jesus Christ, the celebration
of his being; or to be precise, the celebration of his
birth into this world.
According to gallup.
com, over 78 percent of
all people in the U.S. are
Christian, which is no
wonder as to how this celebration became to be so
big.
Every year around this
time, we start to prepare
for the holidays: Thanksgiving, Christmas and
New Years; but the actual
holiday of Christmas is
the celebration of the birth
of Jesus, despite all that
advertisements, media and
commercialization make
it out to be.
According to commercials and retailers, Christmas is a time of year to
share gifts, time with family and merriment.
It is usually filled with
yummy cookies, snowmen and above all, Santa
and his reindeer.
The notion 'of spending
hoards of money, stress
and time trying to race
around to find the right
presents for our loved
ones is getting away
from the true meaning of
Christmas.
If we take a moment and
look into what exactly it
is we are celebrating, then
it might have more meaning to us and won't be (as
it is for some) a stressful,
sometimes lonely time of
year. Having that "center," that purpose in life to
know that it isn't just us
in this life that we have to
worry about, but to know
that we aren't alone, to
know that someone is out
there looking out for us.
The celebration of
Christ-mass is the birthday celebration of that
person who is your salvation, companion, and
protector. No matter who
you are, where you come
from, or what you believe;
God will always be there
for you. He does not judge
you, but loves you! Without the love and sacrifice
He has given us, we would
have no meaning and no
happy ending.
So, the next time you
say "Merry Christmas,"
just think to yourself how
wonderful this world is because of His existence and
the tremendous sacrifice
He made on the cross for
us. The sacrifice He made
to open the pearly gates of
heaven to us that we may
have a fighting chance to
prove ourselves in this life
to deserve the treasure that
awaits us in the next.
Merry Christmas!
By 2010, I had a child
and I went back to school.
The job that I had at the
time was so stressful that
I was having health problems during my pregnancy. My health issues
drastically diminished the
moment I stopped working. At that moment, I
made a pact with myself
to strive for excellence
and well-being. Education
would be a large part of
achieving that goal.
First and foremost, I
want to thank every professor I have had the
pleasure of meeting here.
I want to thank you for
every assignment, every
lecture, and every grade
I have received; because
even the grades that are
not up to par provide opportunity for improvement and learning.
I want to thank every organization on campus and

We are almost there. The
last month of our lives has
come upon us all, or so we
have been told.
According to the lore we
have heard over the past
year and beyond, the Mayan calendar ends this December 21,2012, and with
it, the world that we have
known.
Now, I am not very
briefed on this subject, but
there is one thing I am certain of. There have been
many different hypotheses
on the end times of this
mortal world.
There was the Y2K phenomenon that predicted
the downfall of man due in
part to our dependency on
technology. Twelve years
later, we're still here.
There was buzz about
the Rapture occurring in

in school and stick with
it; while you are at it, try
everything that you can
manage to try, time-permitting.
According to the U.S.
Census Bureau, roughly 30 percent of. people
graduate college with a
bachelor's degree. Almost
eight percent have a masters and only three percent
have a Ph.D. And according to the news, the top
one percent of the wealthiest people in American
control the largest portion
of money, stock, property
and business.
Hmm. Challenge accepted! I wish everyone
here that kind of success.
See you on the other side
CSUSM.
Congratulations to all
Seniors who are
graduating this fall!
2011, the day or days in
which divine judgment
would be brought upon
mankind. The only judgment seen was those that
judged the prediction as
inaccurate.
My point is, each one
had reasonably logical thinking and a good
amount of backing. However, each one presented a
good amount of speculation that was essentially
based on the premise of
"if this is true, then..."
So, let's go about that
premise. Let's think of
what might happen should
the end of the Mayan calendar accurately predict
the end of the world. What
could really be done about
it?
The apocalypse is not
something any group of
men could prevent in any
way, especially considering that it marks a divine
force that is both outside
and towering over the
realm of man.
Let's presume it happens. It's unstoppable
and uncontainable. Not a
single soul is spared. Can
we comprehend that being
the end? Or will there be
something after? The concept of time is something
that man struggles with,
and life encompasses that.
Every person has at least
had some sort of consideration as to the possibility of life being either unending or continuing after
death.
This, of course, goes
into the realm of religion,
but I am far from an expert
on that field.
But let's consider this.
There are many possibilities, and the only way to
truly know is to see the
"other side" firsthand,
supposing there may or
may not be one. I wouldn't
know. I haven't died yet,
and I hope not to for a reasonable while (knock on
wood).
But whether or not the
end of the world decides
to grace us, we still have
to consider that there are
days before it. Are that
many people that concerned? I doubt it. With
the Christmas hype still
going on strong, people
seem to care more about
that than the supposed
coming end. It could be
people's wishful thinking, or maybe even doubt,
but I see it as people truly
not caring about the coming end of the world. The
habit has set in to not really believe each and every
theory of the end. Heck, I
even laughed at the premise of the apocalypse.
If it happens, it will
happen. I'll have no quarrel with it because there
is little I can do about the
matter.

It has been nine years
since the last film of the
trilogy, "The Lord of the
Rings: The Return of the
King" hit theaters, and
now on Friday, Dec. 14,
the prequel to the "Lord of
the Rings" series will hit
the big screens.
"The Hobbit" book will
be presented as a set of
three movies. From the
same makers as the "Lord
of the Rings" trilogy, so
you can expect the same
feel and quality of production. Get ready to be immersed into the fantastical
world of the writer of the
book series, J. RJR. Tolkien's "Middle Earth."
Director Peter Jackson
is a die-hard fan who even
has his own "Hobbit Hole"
house in New Zealand, the
film location of the mov-
ies. He managed to capture the amazing world
that Tolkien had created
in the books, bringing it to
life through the magic of
cinema and delivering the
feel of Middle Earth as if
you were walking through
the beautiful fields and
mountains.
The plot revolves around
Bilbo Baggins (Martin
Freeman), a hobbit who
comfortably lives in the
quiet village of the Shire
that rarely ever sees any
action at all.
A fellow wizard, Gandalf (Ian McKellen) convinces him to go on a
journey to the Lonely
Mountains to help a fellowship of dwarves win
back their stolen treasure
from the greedy dragon,
Smaug.
Through their adventure
to the mountains, they
come across many chal-
students here last month
and the month before
that." To Ends of the Earth
jewelry and gourd crafter,
Rosalyn Hackworth said.
A live band, "Soul Malady," performed from
4 - 5:30 p.m. featuring
guitarist and former stu-
dent, Manny Sanchez and
drummer and current stu-.
dent, Nikola Pantic,
"We have different genres, I call it a "fusion,"
we try to get a mix of reggae, latin and jazz," Pantic

in the theaters as well as on
the shelves, the gross revenue being $2,915,155,189
in the U.S., according to

"The Hobbit" was originally written by J.R.R.
Tolkien as a storybook
for his children, when it
was accidentally read by
a publisher who was quick
to publish it.

Last February, publisher
Vertigo released a special
100-page collection of
short stories featuring the
main characters of various
comic book series such as
"John Constantine" and
"Death" to name a few.
As the title infers, all of
these one-shots revolve
around the winter and
holiday seasons. While
some have a light-hearted
feel, others take a darker
twist, a normality for Vertigo comics. The writing staff includes iconic
Neil Gaiman, and veteran
Garth Ennis. For more information, visit your local

'FF No. V Review - Familiar Faces Take Over
the Future Foundation
Warning: This article
contains spoilers to recent
story arcs.
Comic art couple Michael and Laura Allred
return to Marvel Comics
with the relaunch of "FF."
"FF," or better known as
the "Future Foundation,"
began in 2010 when the
"Fantastic Four" wanted
to create a new organization after the departure of
"Johnny Storm" in "Fantastic Four" Issue No. 587.
With the old team now
reunited, Reed Richards
finds out that they must
leave the foundation and
hand over the commands
to someone else.
The team consists of
"Medusa," "Ms. Thing,"
"She-Hulk," and leader
"Ant-Man." It is an interesting mix of "fantastic"
veterans who must now
help teach the young geniuses while protecting the
earth from harm. People
question the appointment
of "Ant-Man," for it is
Scott Lang's return after
losing his daughter, Cassandra Lang ("Stature")
during "Avengers: Children's Crusade."
Read "FF" Issue No. 1
to find out how the foundation got their new members and their reactions.

"Les Miserables" premieres Tuesday, Dec.
25 and is an adaptation
from the longest running
Broadway play. The film
is full of passion and raw
emotion from start to finish.
"Les Miserables" first
hit the stage in France in
1980. Originally a French
fictional novel written
by Victor Hugo and published in 1862, the American translation was not
published until 1879, carrying over 1,200 pages.
This upcoming movie
boasts an all-star cast; with
Hugh Jackman as lead
role and ex-convict, Jean
Valjean who tries to make,
right in the world, Russell Crowe as the French
guard, Javert who hunts
Valjean. Anne Hathaway
as tragic factory worker
Fantine, Amanda Seyfried

ter of Fantine's daughter,
Cosette, Helena BonhamCarter and Sasha Baron
Cohen as the swindling,
ragamuffin innkeepers,
and Eddie Redmayne as
the valiant fighter and
love interest of Cosette,
Marice.
The movie keeps very
closely to the Broadway
version of the story, being a classic Broadway
musical, and is full of the
wonderful songs and ballads such as "I Dreamed a
Dream," "On My Own,"
"Empty Chairs at Empty
Tables" and "Bring Him
Home."
This movie is already
being considered for nomination of "Best Film of
the Year" since it is going
to be released late like director Tom Hooper's last
Academy Award-winning
film, "The King's Speech"
two years ago. Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway
are also being considered
for nomination for the best
actor and Actress.
The film and actors warrant the high praise , they
are receiving due to the
never-before-seen "live"
singing on set. The actors
had an earpiece in their
ear for each song , the melody was only played on a
piano t o help guide them
along, but everything else
was up to them. The rest
of the orchestra was added
in later.
This has never been
done before in a motion
picture film, which gave it
a uniqueness arid genuine
quality.
"Les Miserables" will
definitely be one of the
movies that people, of all
ages will want to see this
Christmas break.
Although be warned that
with its highly intense and
dramatic and sometimes
violent scenes, it would
probably not be a good
idea to take anyone under
teenage. Use your own
discretion.

Red lights were flashing
on the fire truck as it rolled
up to San Marcos City
Hall on Saturday night,
Dec.l.
Kids and kids-at-heart
alike were waiting with
anticipation for Santa to
climb the ladder to light
the Christmas tree in front
of City Hall. After Santa
reached the top of the ladder, the crowd counted
down and then the tree
was lit, starting off the
holiday season for the San
Marcos community.
There was no shortage
of Christmas decorations,
crafts, activities or kids at
the City of Sail Marcos'
"Santa's Magical Village"
this past Saturday. Inside
City Hall, there were dozens of Christmas trees
decorated and lit as part
of the "Festival of Trees,"
which was presented by
the San Marcos Senior
Services Foundation. The
trees had been lighting up
the hallways of City Hall
since Nov. 19 - Dec. 2.
The trees also provided
many of Saturday night's
guests with ideal backdrops for family photos.
Outside City Hall, local
youth entertained everyone with Christmas tunes.
The ensembles that performed included the San
Marcos Youth Orchestra,
San Elijo Middle School
Jazz Band, and the San
Marcos High School Jazz
Band. Their joyful, jazzy
music filled the air, as did
the delicious smells from
the food trucks. From pizza to burgers to Mexican
food and more, there was
something for feveiyone
to choose from to satisfy
their appetites while enjoying the festivities of the
evening. As for dessert,
there was a booth for kids
to make their own mini
gingerbread houses!
Inside the Community
Center, craft vendors
filled the hallways and
various rooms throughout.
Shoppers could find many
colorful displays of jewelry, hats, scarves, decorations, and other items to
help them check off their

eagl
Christmas lists. There was
even a room filled with
games and activities for
the kids to play with and
the opportunity to meet
Santa, to whisper to him
what they wanted for
Christmas, and get their
picture taken.
It was pretty easy to tell
from all of the "Oohs,"
"Ahhs," and cheers that
on this Saturday night,
everyone who attended
enjoyed themselves and
both were and are happy
that the Christmas season
has finally arrived.

This is one of my family's favorite Thanksgiving time
recipes. My mother started making this for everyone
as something to nibble on as ail the people arrived for
Thanksgiving dinner, and let me tell you something—
they are addictive!
What you'll need:
- A Pan - A Small Bag of Halved Pecans
- 1/ 3 cup of sugar - (Optional: Ground Cinnamon)
(1) Get frying pan out and put a small bag of halved pecan in, let it heat up the pan and pecans. (2) Sprinkle a pinch of sugar over all pecans and let set for about 15 seconds. (3) Stir gently and reapply sugar to
all areas. (4) Repeat this until all of the sugar is gone and stuck to the pecans. WARNING: Do not let pecans
overheat or burn. (5) Let cool in pan for about 5 minutes, then serve in decorative bowl for everyone to enjoy!

For those who have not tried yoga yet, it is truly
a state of mind and a complete "reset" for your
body.Yoga gives a sense of peace, which is great t o
have in the mornings before busy school days o r
w or k days.
Listen t o these songs and take it easy while you
stretch out on the yoga mat and get your mind in
the right place t o finish off our last five weeks of
school.
"Latika's Theme" by A.R."Rahman & Suzanne
This song is soothing and methodical, with low
humming and singing in a mnemonic tone that
would really set the mood for peace t o set your
mind at rest.
"Awake My Soul" by Mumford & Sons
This beautiful conglomeration of the voices from
the Mumford & Sons band is so relaxing and puts
a smile on your face.This song will get you singing
along t o the heart-warming words.
"Vanilla Twilight" by O w l City
This rhythmic song flows along as if you're floating
through the starry sky, pulling at the heartstrings
with the loving words sung by the tender voice of
Adam Young from O w l City.
"Put Your Records O n " by Corinne Bailey Rae
This is a classic song about taking a break and letting go. W it h all the never-ending supply of exams
and essays due, taking i t easy is essential t o our
well being. Sing or hum along t o this catchy tune.
" O Children" by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
This long song will have you slowly bobbing your
head.The beat is great, almost a waltz, and can also
be a great study aid.

FEATURES
After much anticipation
from students and faculty in
the California State University system, the CSU Board
of Trustees (BOT) finally announced Timothy P. White as
the seventh chancellor in the
CSU system.
Since Chancellor Charles
Reed announced his retirement in May, Reed has continued with the responsibilities as Chancellor until the
CSU BOT named a successor. White, who has served
as University of California,
Riverside's (UCR) chancellor for the past five years,
will continue leading the nation's largest public university system of 23 campuses
and manage the effects of
recent budget cuts.
White will also oversee the
five percent tuition increase if
Proposition 30 fails, an education incentive proposed by
Governor Jerry Brown. If rejected, there would be a $250
million funding cut. Failure
of prop 30 would also lead to
a halt in enrollment of spring
and fall of 2013 in most CSU
campuses.
White has stated, "We are
going to be very focused in
our efforts to talk about the
consequences if that is unsuccessful but also the importance to California if it is
successful.".
White's
leadership
achievements include leading the growth of UC Riverside to a record-breaking
21,000 students while creating committees to develop
plans in expending UCR's
continuous development. He
has led UCR to acclaimed
ratings in the U.S. News and
World Report's college rankings in academic quality and
diversity.
"I am humbled to have
been chosen to lead the
California State University
system at such a transforma-
tive time," White said in the
CSU Office of Chancellor's
press release. "As Chancellor, I look forward to engaging with faculty, students,
staff, campus presidents and
CSU trustees, along with the
communities we serve, as we
advance this vital system of
higher education for California's future."

Corps will host a forum next
week featuring students from

Democratic clubs.
The event will be held at
7:30 p.m. Oct. 18 at the University Village Apartment's
(UVA) community building.
"We're just trying to get
people active and be as unbiased as possible. The reason
we wanted it at the UVA is to

and to get people educated in
their civil duty," said Brett

O U R N E X T ISSUE
October 24
There is some confusion,
especially among students,
about the highly discussed
Prop. 32, which will definitely affect teachers, unions
and special interest groups,
but is not to be confused
with Prop. 30.
Prop. 32, also known as
the "Paycheck Protection"
initiative, is a hot topic on
the ballot this fall. The ballot measure proposes to limit
the political influence of labor unions by banning them
from making contributions
to candidates' political campaigns. Contributions made
by independent corporations
and political action committees (also known as PACs)
would be unaffected.
If Prop. 32 passes, it is
estimated that there will be
increased costs to the government for implementation
and enforcement of the new
requirements and those costs
could exceed $1 million annually, but could potentially
be offset by fines.
The "Yes on 32" campaign
is running with the slogan
"cuts the money tie between
special interests and politicians." One argument is
that the teacher unions focus
more on teacher-benefits,
seniority and tenure than on
the education that students
receive. Without political
protection, it would be easier
to layoff teachers who are
no longer meeting standards
and are just using their tenure as a shield.

Brown

AB-970
to make
school fees
transparent
BY FREDRICK MISLEH
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
On Sept. 27, Governor
Jerry Brown signed into legislation Assembly Bill 970,
which looks to make school
fees more transparent, as opposed to being behind closed
doors to the public and to
CSU/UC students.
The bill also requires the
Board of Trustees for the
CSU system to consult with
student associations six
months prior to implementing future fee increases in
hopes of avoiding mass protests, similar to those experienced at CSU Long Beach in
Nov. 2011.
While the CSU system
supports the bill, the UC system has been more hesitant
and remained neutral.
CSU legislative advocate
Andrew Martinez told the
Daily Caiifornian on Sept.
3, "Any time you put restrictions on tuition, that's a concern f o r the university, since
almost all funding comes
from either the state or tuition."
Two Assembly members,
Paul Fong (D-Cupertino)
and Marty Block (D-San
Diego) who proposed the
bill felt that the process by
which tuition was increased
needed student and parent
feedback and transparency.
Brown seems to agree with
their opinions.
AB 970, also known as the
Working Families Student
Fee Transparency and Accountability Act, would be
an addition to the Donahoe
Higher Education Act, an
already existing law from
1960.
What are your feelings on
transparent fees? Share them

said to be a less-than-stellar
performance. Uncharacteristically static and defensive,

Debates can be the key to
presidential election. They
allow for candidates to

if the president still has any
fight in him, he'll study this
"defeat" and hopefully bring
along some of the fire he has
wielded in the past to his
next encounter with Romney
on Tuesday Oct . 16 .
PROP FROM I .
The "No on 32'? website
says to "stop the special exemptions act" and accuses
supporters of the proposition
with elaborating the proposition in such a way that they
are not banned from supporting their political interests, only unions. The top
contributor to the Prop 32
opposition is the California
Teachers Association. Variousfirefighters,law enforcement and nurse associations
are also included in the list
of supporters for the opposition.
Proposition 30 is directed
towards tuition and looks
to tax the rich in order to
prevent tuition hikes. This
proposition does not address
unions and political contributions.
Polling thus far has shown
that votes for and against
Prop 32 have been very
close. With all of the huge
contributions that have been
made to both the "Yes" and
"No" campàigns, the outcome of the election for Prop
32 is obviously highly anticipated.

Everyone is taught to dial

a cell phone on campus will
only reach the California
Highway Patrol, not the University Police Department.
The time lost waiting for
the CHP to transfer a call
from their dispatch to the
UPD dispatch could be
costly. The number to reach
the UPD dispatch is (760)
750 - 4567. Students, faculty and staff are all encouraged to save the number in
their phones in the event of
an emergency. If someone is
using a cell phone that has
T-Mobile or Verizon, their

When dialing 911 from
any campus phone, the call
will directly go to the UPD.
Also, there are 65 blue light
emergency telephones conveniently located throughout campus that can be used
to directly connect with the
UPD.
The number to reach the
UPD for emergencies is also
the same number to request a
campus escort. This is a service that is provided between
dusk and dawn by Community Service Officers [students] until 11 p.m. and UPD
officers thereafter to ensure
everyone feels safe on the

On Oct. 4, recruiters from
various industries were looking for a few good students
at the Career Expo on library
plaza.
As part of the many expos
and fairs that CSUSM hosts,
the Career Expo showcases
some of the job opportuni
ties college students will encounter when they graduate,
a Many available jobs were
finely tailored to specific
majors and fields of study,
others focused more on in
forming students about different companies and their
workforces.
Many students walked
about the aisles of displays,
with either resumes in hand
or information at the ready to
present to the recruiters. Oth
ers simply used the opportu
nity to began thinking of the
options available for them after their college experience is
complete. More than eager to
share, many vendors handed
out pamphlets as well as eyecatching trinkets to entice
students to come and learn
more about the jobs they offered.
This is expected to be one
of the last events of this
scale for the semester, aside
from an Etiquette Dinner.

October. For information or

If you are looking for a
great place to hang out with
friends that does not exceed
your budget, then Churchill's
Pub and Grille is the place
for you.
Named after former British Prime Minister Winston
Churchill, this pub offers an
extensive beer selection (bottle, cask and tap), cocktails,
and a full menu for lunch
and dinner. If you're not 21
yet, it's not a problem because Churchill's is open to
all ages (until 10 p.m., when
the kitchen closes and it becomes a full bar).
Menu items range from $4
to $22. For the price, you get
a lot of food. Also, Churchill's offers seven daily deals
throughout the week. The
most famous one is Wing
Wednesday, where for 50
cents per wing you can get
either Churchill's signature
BBQ sauce or buffalo wings.
If you are feeling more
adventurous, you can pay
60 cents per wing and have
Ivan's Revenge (the hottest
hot wings known to man).
This is Churchill's signature
BBQ sauce mixed with Guinness (no age limit on these ,
and my personal favorite),
or you can get a weekly spe-
cial sauce that changes every is the Sunrise Burger. It's a

NEWS EDITOR
Gay students will share
their own experiences about
coming out at 'The Coming
Out Monologues,' fro 6:309 p.m. Oct. 20 at McMahan
House. The event has been
organize by the LGBTQA
Pride Center.
Inspired by Eve Ensler's
confessional play "The
Vagina Monologues," the
"Coming Out Monologues"
will feature CSUSM students talking about their own
experiences with accepting
their sexuality. The event is
meant to empower and inspire members of the community to share their own
experiences.
Students who identify
as gay, lesbian, bisexual,
transgender and allies are encouraged to attend and participate. There, you can gain
an understanding of the LGBTQA community and fend
out ways to become an ally,
who is a person of support to
a this community.
With attending and participating in the event, students
are able to be educated in the
different identities and diversity that exists on campus.
In learning, students can be
more aware of social justice
awareness and have the opportunity to create an inclusive environment on campus.
By implementing the importance for an inclusive
campus, students will be
able to feel safe and welcomed, regardless of their
gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation or religion.
Students can find interesting information not only in
the books at Kellogg Library,
but in its décor as well.
Since Sept. 25, the "More
Than Casinos: California Indian Culture, Contributions
and Communities" exhibit
has been offereing visitors an
inside look at the lives and
culture of Native Americans.
"The theme of the exhibit
is to showcase a more holistic view of contemporary
American Indian people,"
the Outreach Librarian and
coordinator of the context,
Melanie Chu said.
It features items from local
tribes, as well as the work of
California Indian artists Gerald Clarke and Robert Freeman. Tribes that are represented in the exhibit include
Pechanga, Luiseno, Pomo,
Rincón, Karuk, Cahuilla,
Kumeyaay,
Acjachemen,
Pauma, Chumash, and many
others.
Like the title suggests, the
name "More Than Casinos"
comes from the association
of American Indians with
casinos. The exhibit aims to
show visitors that there is
much more to the culture and
the people.
"It is important for many
reasons," Chu said. "We
have many tribal communities and reservations in San
Diego County with a long
culture, and local history
to understand. We have a
California Indian Culture
and Sovereignty Center
on campus, and we have a
small, growing number of
American Indian students [at
CSUSM]."
This is the 18th Exhibit in
the Context: Library Series
on display in Kellogg Library. Each fall arid spring
semester, classes and groups
on campus incorporate what
they have learned in the
classroom when they visit
the library to discuss the exhibits. "More Than Casinos"
will be on display until Dec.
14.

On Feb. 8, 2009, pop
singer Rihanna was hospitalized after a heated argument
with her boyfriend, R&B
singer Chris Brown, left her
with bruises and injuries to
her face. Brown was later
charged with felony assault
and pleaded guilty in court.
He was sentenced to five
years of probation, domestic
violence counseling and half
a year of community service.
Rihanna obtained a five-year
restraining order prohibiting
Brown from coming within
50 yards. Now, rumors have
surfaced that they have been
displaying PDA and going to
concerts together.
While celebrity love lives
all just sound like a Taylor
Swift song, the gossip about
this onetime couple sends
such a bad message to young
couples and girls.
Maybe she was into that
and Brown was the inspiration for her song "S&M,"
and we'll never know and
shouldn't really care. But
feminism aside, really Rihanna? After your boyfriend
beats you, you're still willing to give him another shot?
There are so many things
wrong with that.

With general semester

Other schools in the area
including: SDSU - $135 per
semester (day only), USD $140 per semester (full-time
commuter), and Palomar *$40 (without a BOGW).
Students disagree with how
high the prices arerising,and
think it is an unfair thing to
do to already struggling college students. These days,
with tuition prices creeping

so hyped up about these "rumors" is because Rihanna
and Chris Brown are public
figures and that comes with
some sort of responsibility.
I'm not implying it's their
personalities that made them
famous ... and a bunch of
other people attempt to make
them look good. They need
to stop being selfish and
think about the impact their
actions have on their fans.
I know how easy it is to be
manipulated by what I see
in magazines, particularly
when we are young. Since
then, I would say I have a
good head on my shoulders
and learned not to imitate celebrities. But what happens
when young girls look at the
magazines and think "Rihanna and Chris Brown are
back together?" I guess its
not such a bad thing if guys
hit girls." And Rihanna's
justification gives guys the
message that girls like this.
Where does it end?
Society needs to stop blowing stories like this into our
faces. What does it matter if
they get back together in our
daily lives? Society needs
to stop obsessing over what
these celebrities choose to do
with their lives. If we don't,
actions that Brown committed could possibly seem ethical.
On Sept. 20, a ceremony
was held at the McMahan
House in honor of the inauguration of the CSU's Institute for Palliative Care at
CSUSM. Among the speakers at the ceremony was jnone
other than the outgoing CSU
chancellor, Charles B. Reed.
While not surprising that the
CSU chancellor would attend such an event, what is
surprising is that the two coeditors-in-chief of the Cougar Chronicle were the only
two students who attended
the event, and as press.
No other student was aware
of Reed's visit. No students
from the nursing program
attended, even though the
Institute for Palliative Care
falls under CSUSM's nursing program. While plenty
of announcements regarding
palliative care were made
in the weekly Campus-wide
Announcement emails sent
out by the Office of Communications, none of them
mentioned that Reed would
be attending, let alone speaking, at the inauguration ceremony.
Why all the secrecy?
Granted, Reed is not the
most popular figure within
the CSU among students.
After all, tuition and parking
permit fees increased by 5
percent and faculty suffered
a major pay cut under Reed's
administration in November
2011 ; at the same time, presi-
dents of the CSU schools, the
Board of Trustees members,
and Reed himself received
raises to their overly bloated
salaries.
Perhaps Reed was concerned for [his] safety?
That was the same reason
he barred students from attending the November 2011
Board of Trustees meeting
where the aforementioned
tuition increases and pay
raises occurred. After all,
who could ignore the student
protests that followed? Perhaps Reed feared he might
have school supplies or,
even more degrading, spare
change thrown at him?
Whatever the reason, it is
an outrage. If we as students
are asked to pay more into the
system so that the CSU presidents, Trustees, and Chancellor can finally afford the
latest model Lamborghini,
we should be informed of
when the Chancellor will be
making a visit to our school
(whether he's driving said
Lamborghini or not).
•Editor's Note: Chancellor Reed is publically noted
as mainly utilizing chauffeur
services. Campus interimPresidents are noted as having a $1,000 per month vehicle allowance, in lieu of a
university-provided vehicle.
Symbolic Motor Company
of La Jolla estimates that the
lease on a 2013 Lamborghini
Gallardo Coupe would be
about $3,500 per month.

not to mention the hundreds
of dollars that students spend
every semester on textbooks,
etc. It all adds up.
So why are our parking
prices so high?
"The parking at CSUSM
is 100% self-support, we
have no funds from the CSU
school system since they decentralized the parking funds
just before we opened this
school. I would love to see
it go down, but it all depends
on the payment we have to
make. We really try to make
sure that the students know
where to park and how to put

they don't get a citation," Director of Parking and Commuter Services, Belinda Garcia said.

Junior Alec Pagliaro, also known as "T3ch F4II," has
been a DJ since middle school, when his brother introduced him the skill. As well as playing on campus»
he reguarly plays at many clubs and bars in the San
Diego, area as well as at Comic-Con International.
STAFF WRITE R
Academy Award-winning
director Martin McDonagh
has stunned movie critics
once again with his latest
movie "7 Psychopaths,"
which premiered Sept. 29 at
the San Diego Film festival
and earned 4 Vi stars.
The film opens in wide release Oct. 12 with an all-star
cast that includes Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Woody
Harrelson, Tom Waits, Christopher Walken, Abbie Cornish and Olga Kurylenko.
McDonagh wrote the script
and directed the film.
The film begins with Irishbred alcoholic screenwriter
Marty Faranan (Farrell) who
has a brilliant title for his
next film, "7 Psychopaths,"
but no story. Marty keeps
company with his girlfriend
Kava (Cornish) and his best
friend Billy (Rockwell). Billy makes his living by stealing dogs with his friend Hans
(Walken) and returning them
to their grateful owners for
reward money.
Billy's scheme goes terribly awry when he and Hans

gangster Charlie (Harrelson). Determined to find the
thieves who nabbed Bonny
from her dog-walker, Charlie
goes on a killing spree.
I had the opportunity to
interview McDonagh at
the film festival. Casually
dressed in a button-up shirt
and sleek blazer with jeans
to finish off his stylish look,
he spoke highly of the actors
in his cast, many of whom
he has worked with before.
Farrell starred in McDonagh's Oscar-nominated film
"In Bruges," and Walken and
Rockwell starred in McDonagh's Broadway play "A Behanding in Spokane."
"They're great, they're
such great actors, fun guys
to be around, so it's funny,"
McDonagh said. "I think
most actors like good dialogue to play with. We had
that, so yeah it was a joy.
They're all kind of friends
together as well, more like a
family."
His top 10 music hits are:
I ."Titanium" - David Guetta feat. Sia
2. "Icarus" - Madeon
3."Scary Monsters" - Skrillex
4."Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" - P!nk
S. "One More Night" - Maroon 5
6. "We Are Never Getting Back Together"
-Taylor Swift
7. "Too Close" - Alex Clare
8. "Gangnum Style" -Psy
9. " Whistle" - Flo Rida
10. "Die Young" - Ke$ha
T3ch F4II will be performing at the '80s-themed party
in the Kellogg Quad on Oct. 24 and the "Trick or Treat

God First Since 1899
For young adults, surviving love can be a demanding,
chaotic and stressful time in
your life. Taylor Swift's love
life is no different. However, not many young adults
can say the ups and downs
of love have won them six
Grammy awards, 10 American Music Awards, seven
Country Music Association
Awards and six Academy
of Country Music Awards,
which is only the beginning
of her sparkling career.
Swift skyrocketed up country music charts in 2006 with
her self-titled debut album
and soon made her way over
to the Top 40 pop charts. In
her early songs, Swift wrote
about her troubles in high
school, such as trying to get
the "jocks" to notice her and
dealing with typical teenage
dramas. She channeled her
frustrations and heartbreak
into an undeniable love for
the people who identified
with her happiness and/or
hurt.
On Oct. 22, Swift will
release her fourth album,
"Red." Now 22 years old,
Swift could move forward
in her songwriting to write
about relationships from a
more mature perspective.
But the first single from the
album, "We Are Never Ever
Getting Back Together," reminded me more of her high
school breakup songs.
As a "T-Swizzle" fan and
a college student, I felt that
"We Are Never Ever Getting
Back Together" was catchy,
but something wasn't quite
my taste. Maybe it was the
unnecessary, excessive use
of the word "like" or the
overemphasizing of the word
"ever," but it just seemed
a bit childish to me. I was
not impressed. Since I have
been rooting for this album
(and hopefully even a few
singles) to win a Grammy
or two, I was concerned.
However, upon listening to
her next single "Red," I felt
much better.

Improvisational comedy is
a good way to relax, let off
steam and have fun. It's also
a way to build confidence
and self-esteem.
For self-described "superduper senior" Frank John
Tabarez, being a member of
the CSUSM Improv Team
has not only taught him valuable skills, it has also given
him a family of friends on
campus. The Cougar Chronicle sat down with Tabarez to
talk about improv and what
he has learned from it over
the years.
Question: What made
you decide to join the improv team?
Answer: Two years ago,
my roommate Lance Rosenberger got me involved. After *
a lot of persuading, he finally
got me to go and I enjoyed it.
Q: How would you describe improv?
A: Improv is short for improvisation. We, as a team,
get on the stage and literally
improvise scenes f rom suggestions yelled out by the audience . Through their participation, we are able to make
scenes and create characters
in ridiculous scenarios.
Q: Why is it important
to have an improv team on
campus?
A: It is important because
we, as a team, want to enter- .
tain and make people laugh.
It's also a way to come together. Regardless of your
experience, we welcome all
and give everyone the opportunity to learn.
Q: How long have you
been participating in improv?
A: Technically, two years: I
took half a semester o ff , but
wanted to come back because
I really missed performing.
Q: How has perform-*
ing on the improv team
changed or impacted your
life?
A: Improv has really
changed my life significantly. I am more outspoken and
confident. There is something about being on a team
and performing with your
teammates that is so rewarding and satisfying.

Universal Pictures celebrates 100 years of movies
B Y J ULIAN A S TUMP P
C o - A & E EDITOR
The studio that brought
Hollywood some of its most
memorable films celebrates
their 100th Anniversary by rereleasing their best movies.
Universal is America's
oldest movie production
studio, having been created by Carl Laemmle in
1912 who adopted an inter-
est in Nickelodeon's movie
theater which only charged
a nickel for admission. Laemmle teamed up with other
Nickelodeon moguls to
form the Universal Film and
Manufacturing Company.
To commemorate their
centennial accomplishment,
Universal has released BluRay editions of their classics.
First was "To Kill a Mockingbird" on Blu-Ray for the
Academy Award winning
film's special 50th Anniversary, followed by other popular movies, old and new, that
have been on sale separately.
These include "Jaws," "Brokeback f ountain, " "Jurassic
Park" and "Sixteen Candles."
For Halloween, a . limited edition box set called
Universal Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection has become avail-
able to commemorate this
milestone. The collection
will include the celebrated
original movie horrors like
"Frankenstein," "Dracula"
and the "Wolf Man" for
their Blu-Ray premiere.
On Nov. 6, a Universal
100th Anniversary Collection DVD set will be released. This would include
26 of the studio's old and
new films from the dramatic
"Schneider's List" to the
family favorite "Despicable
Me." The bundle features exclusive documentaries about
Academy award winning
films and legendary directors, with a CD of admired
scores from the featured
films to bring back the nostalgia of the 100 years past.
Looking back on the studio's huge accomplishments,
they didn't just leave a foot-
print on the film industry.
They left one in our households with innovative story
lines that have been seen by
our grandparents and parents, one that we may one
day introduce to the next
generation. Over the span
of these 100 years, Universal has set the standard for
movies improvement in the
realm of technology and
the digital aspects involved.

'Argo' a Hollywood t hriller, t rue t o history
on sale for 2013
B Y F REDRIC K M ISLE H
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
"Argo," a new film that
opens in theaters Friday, is
based on the true story of
the seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Iran in 1979 and the
hostage crisis that followed.
Six foreign service officers
escaped the embassy out the
back door. They sought refuge at the British, Australian
and New Zealand embassies
but were turned away. Eventually, the Canadian ambassador secretly took them into
his home.
While they waited for a way
out, the U.S. State Department collaborated with the
Central Intelligence Agency
to get the six Americans out.
The job fell to technical operations officer Tony Mendez (played by Ben Affleck,
who also directs the film).
He was a career CIA spook
with an expertise in extracting people from hot zones.
He turned to his contacts in
Hollywood who helped him
set up a fake movie studio
and movie shoot in Iran that
could be used as a cover during the operation. The script
they
stumbled upon was
"Argo," a sci-fi
thriller set in an
exotic Middle
Eastern landscape.
To legitimize
the film, Mendez hired actors to dress
up in costume
and read the
script in front
of others. The
six Americans
were given Canadian identities and they
served on the
shoot as screenwriters, assistant producers
and casting directors. When
the movie wrapped, the six
Americans left Iran with the
rest of the film crew. If you
want more details, you have
to see the movie.
Though the secret operation took place in 1979, it
wasn't public knowledge
until President Bill Clinton
declassified it in 1997. In the
interim, the Canadian gov-

In August, CSUSM announced several of the oncampus food and beverage
providers would be managed
by the Sodexo company in
hopes of creating positive
growth.
Sodexo, a food and facilities management services
company, was introduced to
CSUSM students on Aug. 16
by campus email. Sodexo
already serves more than
900 educational institutions,
including hospitals, military
bases, government agencies and conference centers across the nation and in
some parts of Mexico and
Canada. The Big Cat Bistro,

Starbucks and all conference
and event catering will now
be managed by Sodexo, just

was chosen as the sole beverage provider f o r the campus,
One of the most visual
changes came in the form of
new uniforms for employees
at the Dome's Big Cat Bistro,
All of the food servers and
cashiers are now in Sodexo
official uniforms,
"I love it, I feel like they're
taking our Big Cat Bistro to

It makes it look more clean

Hydration is arguably one
of the easiest ways to help
maintain your physical and
mental health.
Inadequate water consumption can impair cognitive function, impairing
concentration, alertness, and
short-term memory.
According to the European
Hydration Institute (EHI),
the brain represents only 2
percent of total body weight.
However, it utilizes greater
than 20 percent of total blood
circulation. When you are
dehydrated, blood volume
decreases. Consequently, the
amount of oxygen and vital
nutrients that are sent to your
brain can also decrease, impairing brain function.
Hydration can be a critical determinant of physical
performance. The effects of
dehydration are exacerbated
by physical activity, especially in hot environments,
longer exercise duration, and
greater exercise intensity. In
vigorous activity in hot environments, some athletes are
capable of sweating at rates
greater than 100 ounces per
hour, according to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).

Junior Mary Green, a kinesiology major, is the premier outside midfielder for
the CSUSM women's soccer
team.
Q: What got you started
in soccer?
A: I just played a variety of
sports when I was younger
and just happened to like
soccer the most. My older
sister played soccer as well
so that might have drawn me
towards it more, and the fact
my dad was my coach.
Q: Do you think your future involves soccer?
A: I think thai I will try and
always keep myself around
soccer like watching games
and hopefully my kids want
to play soccer, but I d on' t
plan on going professional
or playing at the next level
after this. I know I ' m going
to miss it so much though
because I 'v e been involved
with soccer since I was 4
(years old). It's all I know.
Q: What are your goals
for this season?
A: It's always to do my
best, but as for the team, it
is to go farther than we did
last year and win nationals.
wwwxsusmcougars.com
I think because our team is
so young this year and I ' m
a junior, one of my goals is
also to be a leader on and off
the field this year, be an example and be encouraging to
everyone.
Q: What teams are you
most excited to play this
season?
A: Probably Westmont,
who we played Sept. 18, because they ended our season
last year and knocked us out
of nationals, so we had unfinished business still.

Adequate water consumption during exercise helps
prevent the reductions in
blood volume, muscle blood
flow, skin blood flow, the rise
in core temperature that accompanies dehydration.
According to the Mayo
Clinic, it is recommended
that adults drink at least eight
8-ounce glasses of water per
day.
To calculate how much
water you need, divide your
body weight in half and use
this number in ounces as the
amount of water you should
consume.
Dehydration also impairs

ing headaches, dizziness,

If these consequences
aren't enough to persuade
you to drink adequate
amounts of water, lethargy is
a common effect of dehydration.
Lethargy, or exhaustion,
often leads to inactive lifestyles, which is a main cause
of obesity.
Dehydration initiates a
domino-effect of problems
throughout your body. Why
not drink a few more glasses
of water each day to prevent
this?

Twice a week CSUSM devotes time for student interactions and mingling during
the Tuesday and Thursday
U -hourfro m noon - 1 p.m.
In 2006, Cal State San
Marcos proposed a program
that increased campus engagement while meeting the
needs of CSUSM's diverse
population of 6,300 students.
University Hour, or U-Hour,
was established in hopes of
engaging freshmen in college life, encouraging student
participation in extracurricular activities and connecting
students and faculty outside
of the classrootfi.
After extensive research
by Institutional Planning &
Analysis (IP & A), it was
determined that peak lecture
hours where between 9 a m .
and 3 p.m., and a larger student population was on campus on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
In the 2006 IP & A preliminary study of U-hour, the department packet report said
"With a continued robust
Tuesday and Thursday class
schedule, a University Hour
on those days would further
strengthen the tradition by
allowing for focused and
consistent programming and
accommodate student organization meetings, department
meetings, workshops and
seminars and high profile
events."
Many students usually go
off campus for lunch or to
run errands.
"During U-hour, I usually just go get food with my
friend. I don't hang around
school, but I do know that
there is always some kind of
event or tabling at U-Hour to
check out," Ashley Aronson
said.
" I like to go get a slice
from Flippin'!," someone
who wishes to remain anonymous said.
Some students also like to
work on homework.
"I would normally just go
into the Starbucks room and
do homework and sip on a
cool drink," said Amanda
Koshley.
"I usually do homework,
or meet up with my friends
for lunch, or I go to the College Republicans meetings,"
Jackie Perciado said.
There are also some students who like to relax at
the many benches or walls
and enjoy a beautiful day on
campus.
"I like to sit in the sun like
a flower absorbing the sun,"
Walter Valle said.
"I like to just sit and "people-watch," Darryl Mendoza
said.
What do you like to do during U-Hour?

CSUSM welcomes its newest sorority
B Y K A T U N S WEENE Y
FEATURES E DITO R
Finding a solid support
system in college is essential
to success, and the women
of Alpha Omicron Pi exemplify the qualities necessary
to help young women on the
path to greatness.
In the chapter's inaugural year at CSUSM, Alpha
Omicron Pi has constructed
a framework built upon the
values that will give each
member a unique sense of
character arid confidence.
"As a new organization,
our goal is to follow the values that over 150,000 members of AOII chapters across
the United States and Canada
follow," CSUSM president
of the Alpha Omicron Pi,
Jenneca Bacon, said. "Some
of these values [include] inspiring women to grow personally and professionally,
giving back to CSUSM and
the community through our
involvement on campus and
establishing bonds that last a
lifetime." Alpha Omicron Pi's members are no strangers to
campus involvement. Many
members are heavily rooted
in organizations such as Tukwut Leaders Circle, Intervarsity, ASI, Resident Advisors,
Peer Mentor Programs, and
Honor Societies.
Besides participating in
campus events, the sorority will be hosting its own
national philanthropy event,
"Strike Out Arthritis," later
this year.
Their goal is to eliminate
arthritis and the effects it has
on people of all ages.
This dedication to campus organizations and their
strong foundation of friendship and service allows for
Alpha Omicron Pi to represent women of exemplary
characteristics. "Our sorority prides itself on the diversity of the members and the
friendshipstthat we havecre-^
ated together," said Bacon.
"We stand for character, dignity, scholarship, service and
college loyalty and we strive
to exceed the expectation."
Alpha Omicron Pi believes
that participating in Greek
Life helps to support their
members' education by giving them a strong group of
friends, increased communi-
ty involvement and academic
events such as study nights
and workshops.
Recruitment week is at the
beginning of each fall and
spring semester.
In order to rush any sorority or fraternity, students must
have completed 12 units
through CSUSM, transfer
student units, or AP credit.
While they just completed
J hei r fall recruitment week,
Alpha Omicron Pi is still
interested in meeting new
women to join their sorority.

If y ou'v e ever spent time
at CSUSM or Palomar College, you are probably already aware of the hidden
Thai food gem that is Happy
Chang.
In the midst of a small,
older strip mall off of West
Mission Road near Palomar
College, is a perfect hangout spot for locals and students craving organic Thai
food. Whether it's lunch or
dinner, the portions are generous and delicious. Most
entrees are under $10, with
occasional specials f o r lunch
and students.
Favorites include P anang ,
Pad Thai, Pad Se-Ew and
Orange Chicken. Panang is
a type of curry with coconut
milk, bell pepper, sweet basil
and lime leaves. Pad Thai is
made with chicken and Pad
Se-Ew is made with beef.
Their Orange Chicken, made
as spicy as possible, is served
with a tall glass of water or a
Thai Tea.
"I enjoy t h e restaurant,"
patron Christine Hake said.
"My
friend
and I
will go just
to hang out
and
have
f u n during
our breaks, j
The guy
gave
us free
Thai ice
tea." Jonny Hughes agreed,
"Service wise, they're pretty
cool. Sometimes they give
you free food if they get to
know you."
The décor is an eclectic
mix of Thai trinkets, whimsical flowers, elephant sculptures and an unexplained collection of Betta fish. Happy
Chang has a real sense of
individual enterprise and is
outside the typical chainrestaurant, designed for an
unadventurous palate. Expand your horizons, hang out
and try either the friedriceor
the Orange Chicken made to
a low level of spiciness, 1-3.
Patrons can take advantage of the 1-10 spicy scale.
If you are more accustomed
to traditionally spicy Thai
food, specify a higher level
of spiciness.
"I think it's pretty good.
Especially their fried rice.
I also like how they let you
select how mild or spicy you
want it to be. Not to mention
they have boba," patron Arianna Contrado said.
Happy Chang is open
I I a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday
through Friday, noon to 9
p.m. on Saturdays, and 3
p.m. to 9 p.m. on Sundays at
1450 West Mission Rd., San

As for the Obama administration's backpedaling on the
planned attack to "a spontaneous response," the answer
lies in electoral politics.
If the administration maintains the truth that this was a
planned attack, it could hurt
the reelection bid, as someone would ask how our intelligence missed this.
Someone had to pick up
some form of SIGJNT (signals intelligence [phone
calls, emails, radios, etc.])
about this attack. Where was
the ball dropped?
By claiming the attack was
"spontaneous," it allows
the administration to cover
themselves by denying any
knowledge of the attack before it happened.
This comes at the cost of
the memories of four deceased Americans.
O PINIO N E DITO R
Have you heard the news?
Any news day is often littered with things to get upset
about, but the recent embassy attack in Libya and antiIslam film "Innocence of
Muslims" seriously remind
us about global issues and
intolerance.
Protests to each are underway and several university campuses have received
bomb threats as a form of
retaliation.
It is at this point that I am
thankful to the dean of students and the campus civility campaign for holding
CSUSM to a higher standard
of excellence. The tenets to
this campaign are care, respect, empathy, culture and
humanity.
Take the pledge.
The fact of t h e
matter is most things
that can make you
sick are odorless,
colorless, and tasteless. This could be a
cold o r it could be
so much worse, as
something intentionally placed in your
drink. Never leave
your drink unattended and never share
your germs!

B Y A MIR A E L-KHAOUL I
O PINIO N E DITO R
Getting sick is never any
f u n and while misery loves
company, I am not a fan of
spreading the illness. Tips to
staying healthy on a college
campus are as follows:
If you have a fever: You
are contagious. Please stay
home.
Fevers are associated with
the common cold, the flu,
and mononucleosis. I am
now on day 18 of a cold.
And go figure, I know who I
caught it from. Think about
the classes, work and other
activities you will be robbing
others of when you come t o
school like that.
Don't share drinks, towels,
makeup, pillows or anything
else you can think of that is
a personal item. Your face is
your most precious resource.
Think about how pink eye
spreads and guard yourself
carefully. Also helpful is
washing your hands.
Sexually transmitted diseases are no joke. Stop being
gross and put on a condom. I
always hear the "it's easier
said than done" excuse and
there's really only one thing
to say. Figure it out. I get
pretty pissed about colds, so
don't even think about playing Russian Roulette with a
life-threatening or lifelong
ailment.
Also, if you haven't noticed, there is (arms spread

The book addresses the

today as contemporary activists, artists and intellectuals
struggle to revise and rework
this vision of liberation. Dr.
Blackwell was informative,
enthusiastic, passionate and
peppered the speech with

use the pseudonym the author published under as per
the wishes of Owen and his

Dr. Blackwell's lecture was
an eye opener and a good

" I didn't know about some

Needless to say, the lecture

This 2012 fall semester
has brought two new faces
to CSUSM's theater department. Kaja Dunn and Victor
Contreras come to campus to
bring new and exciting flavors to the theater program.
Merry1 Goldberg, director
of the Visual and Performing
Arts Department, is excited
for these new Cougar professors to bring something different and interesting to the
department.
Professor Kaja Dunn has
been acting for 14 years
and has 12 years in education. She also directs theater,
having just co-directed the
CSUSM play festival. She
has experience in teaching
for Playwrights Project and
Young Audiences. Some of
her credits include: "The
Best Christmas - Pageant
Ever," "One for the Road,"
"The Vagina Monologues"
in West Los Angeles" and A
Raisin in the Sun."
"I plan on staying here as
long as I can. The classes
are enthusiastic and there is
a great energy on campus.
The people are really great to
work with here," Dunn said.
Professor Victor Contreras started teaching theater
and speech in 1974, in the
Sweetwater school district,
which had the first "Fame"
style school on the West
Coast. In the late 1980s, he
decided to pack up his bags

When asked his view

As for Chancellor White,
he sent a clear signal of
the need for a new dialogue on rebuilding higher
education. I believe his
decision demonstrated the
type of steward he will be
of our system's resources.
The trustees selected him
because he is the ideal
candidate to represent the
CSU (students, faculty
and staff). He is the product of the California Master Plan for Higher Education and a first-generation
college student from a migrant family. Chancellor

next four years. He seeks
to make getting a college
education more affordable, tuition cut in half by
2022, and to make America the country with the
most college graduates in
the world by 2020.
One of the ways that
Obama has worked to
achieve this is by making large investments in
Pell Grants, something
that has a huge impact
on college students. Pell
Grants, which is federal
student aid that does not
need to be repaid by the
student it is awarded to,
lead to more opportunities for students to afford
college. Since scholarship
and financial aid funds
are limited, increasing the
amount of funding given
to students gives more of
them an opportunity to afford school long enough
to get their degrees. By
getting more students
graduating from college
and educating more of
the nation's youth, this
ensures that the next gen-
eration of workers will be
qualified for better jobs,
which also boosts the nation's economy by getting
more people to work. *
Regardless of students'

will have a huge effect on

years, and it is extremely
important that they stay
informed on what changes

Californians expect me

resources. Consequently,
as I join the faculty, staff

CSUSM enacts t emporar y r estrictio n on unit enrollment
BY JESSIE GAMBRELL
G o-A& E EDITOR
I n an effort to allow
every student to register
for the appropriate classes
and due to an increased
demand for enrollment,
CSUSM is implementing
a new "first pass" unit cap.
With the spring 2013 semester's priority registration opening Nov. 15 and
running through Dec. 7,
students will only be able
to register for a max of 13
units and be waitlisted for
no more than 8. Although
CSUSM Views students
taking 6.1 or more units as
full time, the 13 unit cap
was put in place to allow
students to carry at least
the 12 required units for
financial aid purposes.
"CSUSM is sometimes
referred to as a 'hot campus' now, so we had to
enact a restriction to allow everyone to have an
opportunity to sign up
for classes. Although we
have been seeing that the
average of units per student has been 12.3. We are
hoping this helps the 'bottlenecks' that occur during
class registration," Associate Vice President For
Planning and Academic
Resources, Dr. Graham
Oberem said.
« gg¡. s s a

According to a studentwide email from the Office of the Registar, the 13
registered and 8 waitlisted
"first pass"unit cap will be
lifted on Dec .17, allowing
students to then register
for.up to 17 units.
CSUSM is not the only
CSU campus that has
made this restriction this ,
semester. CSU Northridge
(CSUN) and CSU Long
Beach (CSULB) have also
enacted this restriction to
help curb the overflow
of student sign-ups. Both
CSUN and CSULB actually lowered their restrictions to 16 units.
In regards to the class
limit, not all students are
opposed to the new "first
pass" process put in place.
"I like it. I think it's good
because then everyone
gets their classes," student
Chelsea Power said.
According to Dr. Oberem, the only exceptions
that can be made are for
spring 2013 graduating
students, veterans and
military students who require it.
"I got to petition the unit
cap because I am a graduating senior, it didn't affect my spring schedule
after all," senior Amanda
Peace said.

BY CURTIS BOVEE
SENIOR STAFF W RITE R
The holiday season has
arrived, the time of the
year filled with endless
obstacles to healthy eating. Whether it's the abundance of Christmas parties
to attend or the never-ending baking of pies, cookies and cakes, temptation
during the holidays is inevitable.
The following are ways
to avoid overeating during
the holiday season.
-Extra time: during the
holidays, we tend to have
more free time, especially
students. Although this
time is a "break," plan to
utilize the extra time each
day to participate in some
kind of healthy activity.
Utilize this as an incentive
program—the more calories you burn, the more
you can consume without
negative repercussions.
-Portion sizes: turkey,
mashed potatoes, stuffing,
cranberry sauce, pies, etc.
The list goes on. You do
not need to create a mas-
terpiece by seeing
how much food
each plate can
fit. Instead, try
limiting, portion sizes to the,
size of your fist
or smaller. In addition, as you inevitably make your way
back to the line for your
third and fourth servings,
make a point tg take less
each time.
-Alcohol
consumption: the more you can
limit your consumption
of alcohol during the holidays, the better. Not only
is alcohol empty calories,
greater consumption will
cause you to eat more
and be hungry for longer,
a combination for uncontrollable caloric consumption.
-Moderation: just because your grandma
makes a pumpkin pie todie-for does not mean
you need to eat the entire
thing. Focus on limiting
yourself and the amount
of each food that you consume. As goes with por-
tion sizes, try just to eat
enough. Yes, there may be
4 deserts offered, but this
does not mean you have
to eat every one of them.
Leave the table feeling
satisfied, not stuffed.
During one holiday season, overeating and the
resulting weight gain will
not hurt you; however,
cumulatively it adds up
over the years and will increase the risks of obesity.
Making and sticking to a
plan this holiday season
will provide you with a
template to follow for the
rest of your life to combat
overeating during the holidays and the risks associated with it.

C SUS M basketball downs Biola 85-78 and Vanguard 85-69
BY ALEX FRANCO
SPORTS EDITOR
The CSUSM men's basketball team hosted their
first home game of the
season with a bang on
Wednesday Nov. 14, when
they took on BIOLA University in front a strong
Cougar fan base at Mira
Costa College.
The No. 20 ranked Cougars looked to improve and
keep their two-game winning streak alive against
the No. 13 BIOLA Eagles,
who entered the night's
contest undefeated. The
Cougars got off to a blazing start opening the game
to a 15 point lead over the
Eagles. BIOLA wouldn't
fold easily to the CSUSM
offensive onslaught as
the Ragles fought back to
erase the early deficit and
bring themselves within
four points late into the
first half.
With the half coming to a
close, the Cougars opened
up the lead again, thanks
largely in part to Jose Rivera, who hit a team high
four three-point shots. The
Cougars took a 42-35 lead
into halftime, a lead they
wouldn't give up for the
rest of the game.
The Eagles came within
two points of the Cougars midway through the
second half but CSUSM
would respond building
the lead back up to nine.

pulling with four with a
few minutes left in the
game.
Ali Langford's late intentional free throws
solidified the win for
CSUSM, beating BIOLA
85-78 and handing the Eagles their first loss of the
season. CSUSM improved
to 3-1 on the season and
will look to move up in
the national rankings after
their second impressive
win over a high-ranked
opponent.
Langford led the way
with a game high 27 points
and eight rebounds to
pace the Cougars offense
throughout the game. Rivera contributed 20 points
of his own, sparking the
offense when it appeared
to have slowed down hitting clutch three-pointers.
Just two days later, On
Friday Nov 16, the Cou-
gars faced off against
Vanguard University and
extended their winning
streak to four with a 85 69 victory.
After trailing by 9 in
the opening minutes of
the first half, the Cougars
were able to use a 20 - 4
run in over a seven minute
time frame to take*ta 4133 lead with a minute and
22 seconds left in the half.
Jacob Ranger, Quincy
Lawson and Hakeem
Washington were the
teams leading scores with
Ranger scoring 18 points
and both Lawson and

CSUSM' s ' Suspenders'
t ake Arizon a by st or m
BY MELISSA MARTINEZ
N EW S EDITOR
CSUSM's undefeated
flag football intramural
team the "Suspenders"
defeated six West Coast
teams at the Regional
Championships on Friday,
Nov. 9 held at Arizona
State University. This
marks the first ever trip
by a CSUSM team to the
National Campus Championship Series at the University of Central Florida
on Jan. 4 - 6. The Cougar
Chronicle
interviewed
team captain AJ Kirkpatrick on this glorious win..
Question: What were
the games like leading
up to the playoffs?
Answer: We started
off with two pool play
games against smaller
schools: CSU Northridge
and Fort Lewis College
(Colorado). We figured
those were good schools
to start off against, seeing
as we had no previous experience and had no idea
what to expect. We ended
up beating CSU Northridge pretty easily, and
then same against FLC.
Once we realized we had
the best point spread and
the number 1 seed in the
whole tournament, we
knew we had something
good going. That moment
was when we turned our
mindset up a level and
never looked back from
there.
Q: How did your team
practice throughout the
season?
A: We had two "gettogethers" with a couple
players at a time, before
the season, but nothing
even close to a real practice, and once the season
started we still didn't have
a full practice. We were
all just on the same page
from the beginning and
we all knew our role on
the team. Everyone just
executed every play and
it just happened to mesh
perfectly.
Top: The "Suspenders" team after their win in Arizona at the Regional Championship. Above: Team captain, AJ Kirpatrick with Regional
Championship trophy. Photos provided by AJ Kirpatrick
Q: What was your experience like in Arizona?
A: It was surprisingly
not very hot, the temperature was about 65-70
degrees with a cold wind
the whole time. It was really cool to hang out in a
different state and with
different people. Talking
to locals and other travelers about their experiences
who had no clue who we
were or where we were
from was interesting. We
loved the area and had a
blast all weekend.
Q: Can you give me
a few highlights of the
games?
A: There are so many
highlights but there are a
few that stand out. In our
first game, Marc Berry
had 4 interceptions and
basically set the tone for
the whole tournament.
There were multiple great
plays from one-handed
catches to divingflagpulls
on a fourth down goal line
stops. Oh yeah, I almost
forgot, our quarterback,
Josh Leiber, ended up being the Tournament MVP
with 34 touchdowns and 0
interceptions. /
Q: What does this
mean for your team in
Florida? Who are you
playing?
A: Our team is going to
travel to Florida and play
against the champions
from all 6 of the regional
tournaments. Those will
most likely be the toughest competition as other
local teams will be able
to buy their way into the
tournament. There will
be good teams, bad teams
and great teams, and we
see ourselves as a great
team.
- Q: Is your team nervous? Are you nervous?
A: I don't think we are
so much nervous as we
are anxious. There is always "butterflies" before
a big game or tournament,
but all we can do is go out
there and play football
like .we know how. We
don't care who they are or
where they are from. We
will go out, play our game
on every down and hope
that is enough when the
final whistle blows. After
seeing what we are capable of in the regional tournament, there is no limit to
what we can or can't do.
We will train and practice
and I guarantee we will be
ready to compete with the
best and put CSUSM on
the map. Only time will
tell. Keep an eye out for
us.

'LoveYour Body Day' inspires men and women alike
BY KATUN SWEENEY
FEATURES EDITOR
Students who were looking for a positive way to
spend their time during
U-Hour were not disappointed at "Love Your
Body Day" on Thursday,
Nov. 15.
CSUSM featured an
event that celebrated every body shape and promoted positive body image, rather than generating
the idea that there is only
one "ideal" type.
"Love Your Body Day
is an annual event that is
meant to empower women
and men. Whether they are
on a diet, without a diet,
whatever body shape, we
want to make them feel
good about themselves,
and empower them in a
positive way," Gender
Equity Educator Raihana
Siddiq said.
Multiple groups and student organizations were
involved with the "Love
Your Body Day" event,
such as Gender Equity,
Kamaiayan
Alliance,
Hope & Wellness Center, LGBTQA and North
County Health Services.

Each booth was set up
with different activities for
visitors to partake in and
information for them to
learn about; ranging from
art projects to learning
about organizations that
promote positive body image on a regular basis to
Henna at a booth with the
slogan that makeup is fun,
but users are more beautiful without it.
At one particular booth,
visitors could write signs
with messages about what
they liked about their
body rather than what
they disliked, which were
then displayed to encour-
age others to be positive
as well.
"At our booth, we are
doing a Women's Studies
project to promote feminism. We want to end 'fat
talk' and instead promote
a positive body image by
letting everyone know all
bodies are beautiful," student Julia Chamale said.
While every booth had
its own theme and design,
all of them were working
towards the common goal
of making CSUSM students feel more comfortable with their bodies and
not feel insecure about
their appearance .
For those looking for
a one-stop-shop for everything breakfast, lunch
or even brunch-related,
look no further than San
Marcos' very own Mama
Kat's Restaurant and Pie
Shop.
Mama Kat's is a restaurant with a very welcoming, family-friendly environment. The moment you
walk through the doors,
you are greeted with warm
smiles and welcomes from
the wait staff. The décor,
complete with the antique
pictures and wooden objects on the walls, makes
the visitor feel as if they
are walking into their
grandmother's home for
Sunday breakfast.
When planning to eat
there, it is best to arrive
early. Mama Kat's can
get very busy, and it may
take a while for you to
be seated. Mama Kat's
offers coffee outside, so
you can have a nice, hot
cup of java as you wait
for your party to be called
and seated. But do not get
discouraged with the long,
wait because the food is
worth it.
Once you are seated,
you are greeted by some
of the friendliest servers
this side of the Mississippi. They offer to get
the table drinks, ranging
from freshly brewed coffee to ice cold milk and
fruit juices. Mama Kat's
offers a variety of breakfast foods and lunch specialties, such as American
staples like eggs, bacon,
sausage, hash, biscuits,
waffles, French toast,
pancakes, fried chicken,
hamburgers, hot dogs and
sandwiches; the list goes
on and on.
The food and desserts
are very reasonably and
affordably priced, ranging
from $6 - $13 for full entrees. Aside from the main
dishes, Mama Kat's bakes
some of the most delectable pies in town, freshly
made in-house for anyone
to enjoy by the slice or to
have a whole pie to take
home to their family.
Beware, however, when
dining at Mama Kat's with
the atmosphere, friendly
staff and delicious food
might make you feel so
much at home, you may
never want to leave.
Mama Kat's is located
at 950 West San Marcos
Blvd., and is open 6 a.m.
to 2:30 p.m. Monday Saturday, and 7 a.m. to
2:30 p.m. on Sunday.
Highly rated professor: Linda Hickman
BY KEANDRE W ILLIAM-CHAMBER S
C OP Y EDITOR
In recent months, Professor Linda Hickman was
honored with one of the
highest ratings in the nation on the RateMyProfessors website, ranking 20th
on their Top Professors for
2011-2012 list.
The website is dedicated to the student evaluation of professors they
have had and has served
as a way to determine the
best and worst professors
nationwide. The website
also uses student evaluations to rate schools.
Professor Hickman, a
business writing professor here at CSUSM, has
been teaching for over 10
years. She called the rating "fantastic," thanking
her students for the ratings
she has received.
"I take what I teach very
seriously and I do try to
provide a learning environment. I am always interested in learning taking
place," Professor Hickman said. "But there's
no reason that learning
can't take place under a
happy, positive, fun environment. Nobody would
go to school if it was all
drudgery. Life is hard, and
I want everyone to succeed."
Professor Hickman describes her class as one
that is interactive, which
gives all her students a
chance to participate and
provide input to help students see other perspectives. She notes that the
college experience is important for the student and
that it is her duty to keep
her students "safe and interested in learning," because "each individual's
future is important.
When sitting in her business writing class, it is
easy to become enthusiastic about what is being
learned. Professor Hickman's voice, both confident and caring, carries
well across the classroom.
She teaches in a style that
allows for entertaining
and informative anecdotes, adding a delightful splash of humor to the
classroom, She makes use
of real-world examples
that catch the students'
attention and hold it, but
she does not ramble. Professor Hickman presents
the class-pertinent information in a clear and concise format that makes the
information look simple
to understand, especially
while teaching complicated formats for memos and
business letters.
Perhaps one of the best
aspects of the course is
professor-class interaction. Professor Hickman is
able to keep the class's attention without even having to command it, result-

ing in high participation
and involvement in even
the low-energy informative moments. Students
are not afraid to provide
answers unprovoked and
with a clear understanding or desire to further
understand
concepts
brought up. The students
remain awake and attentive throughout the entire
lecture.
Congratulations is in
order for Professor Linda
Hickman on a job well
done. This class is recommended for freshmen and
sophomores
interested
in learning about how to
write in a professional
manner in a fun and informative environment
with interesting assignments that will make the
homework much more enjoyable to complete.

CONTRIBUTOR
I am not and will never be a blood donor.
I am a blood recipient.
The gift of blood donation has been and always
will be a huge factor in
my life. I was born with a
hereditary blood disorder
known as spherocytosis.
The disorder results in
my body rejecting and
destroying my own "red
blood cells. This poten-'
tially debilitating condition has affected many of
my family members, but
so has the gift of blood
donation. This is what inspires and motivates me
to be involved with the
blood drive at my school.
Blood donations have
helped form and unite
my family. My grandparents met when my grandmother was ill and in
need of a blood transfusion. My grandfather responded to the request for
donations to help her. My
mother wpuld not be here
without blood donations.
My life, and my sister's
life, were both saved because of blood donations.
I knew I had received
blood transfusions, but it
wasn't until I was recovering from a month-long
stay in the hospital that
I became very aware of
the importance of blood
donations. I did not understand where the blood
I received came from.

With Thanksgiving just a few days away, it is time to roll up your sleeves
and dig your hands into some cranberries. This recipe is a Thanksgiving
classic with a twist, or should I say zest. I have been making my (almost)
famous cranberry sauce every Thanksgiving for the past five years. So I
am sharing it with you to make for your family dinner table or to take to
your friend's house this Thanksgiving.
What you'll need:
- One bag of cranberries
- One and a half cups of sugar
- Half a cup of orange, apple O cranberry juice
R
- The zest of an orange
- 3 - 5 quart pot
1.) Dump cranberries into strainer, and under water pick out any mushy or particularly blonde cranberries. 2.)
Pour the rinsed cranberries into your pot and add the sugar, juice and zest. (After zesting the orange I usually
slit a hole in it and squeeze the juice into the pot for flavor). 3.) Heat on low and let cook for about 20 minutes
until it is a deep, thick, saucy mixture. CAUTION: The cranberries pop when hot so keep an eye on them and
stir periodically. 4.) Once the cranberries have all popped, smash any left with the stirrer or pull out a potato
masher. 5.) Let cool for a bit, then pour inter serving bowl and chill overnight.
That's it! Now you have made a beautiful, decadent and quite tasteful dish for your Thanksgiving dinner table.

'Fables' and 'Fairest:' A nothe r take o n fairy tales
B Y FAITH ORCINO
CARTOONIST
T.V. shows such as:
NBC's "Grimm" and
ABC's "Once Upon A
Time" have changed the
roles of classic folklore
characters, and comic
books have their own way
of revamping the myths
and fairy tales. On Nov. 21,
the first trade paperback
of the series, "Fairest" and
issue 123 of "Fables" will
be on comic shpp shelves.
"Fairest" is a recent spinoff of Vertigo Comics'
ongoing "Fables" books.
While "Fables" deals with
a cluster of many characters from the classic stories in a modern setting,
"Fairest" focuses on the
lead female characters in
that realm. The volume
contains the first two arcs
featuring heroine, Sleeps
ing Beauty. Once again,
she wakes up after being
kissed by her true love,
but it is uncertain if this
particular person truly is
her true love or just an accident. Chronologically,
the stories take place after issue 107 of "Fables."
As f orth e latest addition
to the original storyline,
readers dive into a strange
event concerning main
characters Snow White
and the Big Bad Wolf.
Bill Willingham writes
for "Fables" and (with the
help of other staff writers)
writes "Fairest." Adam
Hughes creates the main
single-issue covers for
"Fairest" while various
artists draw the interior
pages. See what other familiar characters appear
in these series. Visit your

eight individuals that were
interviewed by the California State Student Association Executive Board, which
included a panel interview
with all 23 ASI presidents in
April at Cal Poly San Luis
Obispo. From there, they selected three names that were

office. In May, I traveled to
Sacramento and interviewed
with Deputy Secretary to Appointments, Victoria Hassid.
There was a second round of

In late May, CSU Chancellor Charles Reed announced
plans to retire after heading
the nation's largest university system for 14 years.
Reed, 70, does not plan
to leave office until his replacement is hired, but has
expressed à desire to retire
pending the completion of
various projects under his
command, such as the oversight of new college presidents at seven of the 23 colleges in the system. Although
he hasn't given a specific
reason for retiring, he has admitted to frustration at more

Withlthe presidential election coming our way, there
has been much debate over
what Republicans and Democrats actually believe in.
Especially in today's political climate, it is a bit challenging to distinguish the
philosophies. College students are particularly affected by federal policies and the
stance of the Commanderin-Chief. Though there is a
significant difference in tone
between the Democratic and
JRepjjMiCan platforms, there
a rejpl d shared elements betw^abot h parties.
In the right corner we have
t f e ^ p u b l i c a n Party, which
is conservative. Republicans
favor a smaller government
and are for individual and
states' rights. Republicans
would also tend to favor
more defense spending. They
would rather have private
charities help those in need
rather than federal programs.
In the left corner stands the
Democratic Party, which is
more liberal in its political
views. Democrats believe in
a larger federal government
and attempt to implement
taxes to help the less privileged. Most of t}ie economic
theory comes f ro m the 20th
century philosopher Maynard Keynes. Keynes and
Democrats believe that government plays a role in regulating the business cycle.
The hot, drug war topic is
one in which both the Republicans and Democrats agree
on. Even though Democrats
are much more tolerant with
the use of recreational drugs,
both parties support with
great enthusiasm the War on
Drugs (WOD).
Generalizing about particular groups can be a dangerous game since there are
exceptions to the rule. However, this is where Republicans and Democrats stand
on certain topics. Whether
on the left or the right, voting is an important way for
one to voice their opinion, as
a college student and as an
American. Voting takes place
on Nov. 6 ,2012 .

Q: How do you hope to
represent all of the students
at 23 campuses?
A: I will be traveling every
month to a different CSU,
because as a student trustee
it is important thai students

In April, CSUSM got a
new athletic director with a
familiar face. Jennifer Milo,
the former assistant athletic
director to Tom Seitez, was
promoted to the top job when
he retired last spring.
Milo has worked at
CSUSM for seven years,
starting out as the university's first Softball coach.
Before that, she spent three
years at San Diego State University as an athletic advisor, helping student athletes
maintain a balance between
school work and sports.
Milo graduated from the
University of San Diego,
where she earned her bachelor's and master's degrees
in liberal arts and college
counseling, respectively, was
a student athlete and served
as assistant coach of the softball team.
She spoke recently about
her career, her immediate
goals and her plans for the
future.
Question: What types of
sports did you play when
you were younger?
Answer: I playeil soccer and was in competitive
swimming. I loved baseball,
I was the only girl on the
team until I turned 11 then
played softball all the way
through college.
Q: What past experiences do you have that has
prepared you to be athletic
director?
A: I worked my way up the
ladder. I started off as being
a student athlete to being a
coach and working in the of-
fice setting. All my past experiences have helped mold
me and realize how I would
run a department.
Q: How do you plan to
improve the correlation between the student body attending athletic events?
A: [It's] one of my biggest priorities. My plan is to
open our arms and let students know they are on our
team, too. Having students
attend games gives a sense
of pride and tradition. A lot
of changed to get students involved is important to me. I
feel students still don't know
we are here and we lack that
student voice. We can't Survive in a bubble down here
and we have to work with
ASI and SLL together.
Q: Have you always been
interested in a career in
college athletics?
A: Athletics and sports
have always been in my
blood. I have five siblings
and we have grown up
knowing not just the game
but what it takes like goal
setting, responsibilities and

45 mph speed limit that
many drivers exceed. To
reduce the risk of students
being hit by cars, UPD
officers are now issuing
jaywalking
tickets ranging from
$100 - $200.
The most common — and
most preventable — crime
on campus is theft from cars
in the parking lots, and the
No. 1 item reported stolen
from cars is textbooks. Officers recommend that students keep their textbooks
out .of sight, their car windows rolled up and doors
locked.

Q: You have been a part
of Cougar Athletics for
seven years, what changes
have you noticed in your
department?
A : There have been seven
teams have been added in
seven years. I first got here
with two staff members and
now there are 35. New facilities like the Softball and
baseball fields were built.
-There is now $500,000 in
scholarships. When athletics started in 1998 there was
only golf, cross-country and
track and field. After I joined
we had our first competitive
sport event, soccer, and 800
students came. It was great
to see students rally and its
something we want to continue to work on .
Q: Why did our campus
not get accepted to be in
the NCAA status? What
strategies do you have to
reinstate our standing?
A: Our NAIA (our governing body) position was put
on probation because of recurring violations that went
against the NAIA rule book.
It is not a matter if we get
in it's a matter of when we
get in. The NAIA is targeted
for smaller schools and with
our high demand of campus
growth we are ready to move
forward. It is a three year
transition.
Q: What contributions
do you expect to bring not
only as Athletic Director
but also to the campus?
A: I am a huge university
first advocate. I admire what
President Haynes does and
leading through the tough
budgets. The number one
priority is for our student
athletes to graduate. I want
to get in contact with the
Deans' and see how they
can help.
Q: Have there been previous female directors? If
not, how does it feel to be
¿he first at CSUSM?
A : Barbra Barshine helped
start the athletic department,
I ' m not sure if athletic director was a part of her title. I attribute my success to the Title 9 Law which was formed
in the 70's that passed to
help women get the same
teaching jobs that men have,
including sports. There are
only 4% of female Athletic
Directors in the country so
I ' m honored to be in that 4%
and hopefully increase it.

Fall preview: CSUSM Volleyball takes aim at national prize
B Y A LEX FRANCO
SPORTS EDITOR
The CSUSM women's volleyball team is coming off a
stellar 2011 season, where
they saw a 29-8 record culminate with an A J J t conference title and a berth in the
NAIA national championships.
This 2012 team however,
is hungry f o r more and i sn' t
settling f o r anything less
than a national title.
This year' s team current-
ly sits at 13 - 5, with wins
against three nationallyranked opponents.
Coach Andrea Leonard
attributes the early success
with daily hard work and
the team's mutual belief in
the system and coaching,
along with a common trust
amongst the team.
CSUSM has reaped the
benefits of their hard work.
The team was recently voted the No. 10 in the NAIA
Coaches' Poll, a ranking that
eonard said feels "amazing."
"It comes at a perfect time
for us, because it reinforces
the hard work they have put

forth and they are seeing
the rewards of it," Leonard
said. "They aren't satisfied
with 10 and they're pretty
hungry for elite-elite level.
A national title is definitely
something we could, reach
and we're getting closer to it
day by day."
Leonard cites senior and
captain Nichole May as a
player to watch this year,
along with fellow seniors
Lindsey Sappington, Lindsey Mitchell and Brittany
Thompson, along with sophomore Taylor Degraaf, who
is ranked third in the country
in kills this season.
"We have incredible seniors' who are not not only
great volleyball players but
great people and team player
with big hearts" Leonard
said.
Leonard notes that some
big matches this coming season will be the games against
conference rivals La Sierra
on Sept. 26 at home, and No.
2-ranked Concordia on Oct.
9 in Irvine.
"[Concordia] is very good
this year, and it is a huge
game to watch, I anticipate
them to be in the finals again
this year," Leonard said.

Weekly farmers market at C SUS M
B Y TATJIANA GVOZDNOVIC
STAFF W RITE R
With budgeting on all students' minds, the CSUSM
farmer's market on Wednesdays and Sundays provides
a healthy and moderately
priced option to stock up on
fresh foods.
Questions of healthy food,
budget and convenience run
through students' minds at
one point or another. If you
are looking for something
that is close to campus and
potentially cheaper than
Ralph's across the street,
check out the local farmer's
market.
Located in parking lot B
directly across from Mangrum Track and Field,
the market comes to campus from 3 to 7 p.m. Wednesdays. Because of the farmers
market's popularity, the university added a second day in
mid-May, from 10 a.m. to 2
p.m. Sundays.
The farmers market offers
a fresh assortment of organic
fruits and vegetables, breads,
tamales and prepared meals.
The market also sells handcrafted jewelry, custom flipflops, plants and occasionally host special events, such
as Food Truck Wednesdays
(on the last Wednesday of the
month during normal market
hours).
The sellers are very friendly and are always looking for
ways to help. The stands are
set up in such a way that customers can browse through
all of the vendor booths
without missing any. The
set-up also makes it easy to
quickly stop by and pick up
a few items.

College students waste a
lot of money on things they
do not need. Dorm room
sheets should not be one of
them.
For those of us living in
The QUAD or The UVA,
finding inexpensive appliances and materials are a
must. Unfortunately, not all
businesses that market to
the college student demographic have our best interest in mind. Residence Hall
Linens advertises themselves
as a company that promises
quality, guaranteed satisfaction, and a stress-free ordering process for $170. While
these guarantees entice the
consumer into believing that
the company's products are
both affordable and a musthave addition to our dorm
rooms, the truth is not discovered until the package arrives in the mail.
The so-called "quality"
bedroom and bathroom items
turn out to be flimsy, tissuelike materials that may last
little past the first year of
use, despite the advertised
four-year durability guarantee. The bathroom towels are
too low-quality to be used
for their intended purpose,
the bedding so thin that it is
not suitable for any season
besides summer, and the bed
comforter could be mistaken
for one of the sheets.
The only guarantee that
turned out to be true was
the ease in which the products could be ordered, but
trying to return undesired
items is yet another issue for
the disappointed customer.
Reimbursement can take up
to three weeks and the cost
of shipping materials back
is astronomical. While the
company covers the initial
shipping, customers have to
pay $50 to send the package
back.
Residence Hall Linens officials acknowledge how
much money customers have
to waste in order to send
packages back to them, but
they have done nothing to
solve the problem. Instead,
they have blamed the high
prices on UPS and other mail
carriers that charge customers these high fees rather
than taking responsibility for
their unsatisfactory products.
When I spoke with a representative from Residence
Hall Linens over the phone,
he argued that the company
should not be held accountable for people disliking the
products they sell. "Companies like Kohl's don't reimburse you the money you
spent on gas to drive to their
store when you return their
products," he said. "If we
had to pay the shipping for
every person who returned
our products, we would go
out of business."
Despite their claims that
their products are superior to
others in price and durability,
Kohl's offers not only lower
prices on all of their bedding
and bathroom materials than
Residence Hall Linens, but
better quality.
In my experience ordering
from both companies, I spent
$50 less on Kohl's products
and was able to buy almost
twice as many bedroom and
bathroom items than I got in
the package from Residence
Hall Linens.
The next time that you
contemplate ordering from
a catalogue or are promised
a deal that sounds too good
to be true, do some research
before opening your wallet.
You may be surprised at the
realities of the company you
are ordering from.
When contacted for interview, Residence Hall Linens'
president declined the opportunity to comment.

that student further, save
to serve as a reminder that

So let's make the most of
our college years. You're

If I've learned anything
from TV, it's that being in
college grants you license to
act like a rock star. For the
love of whoever, just find
the right balance between
schoolwork and social life.
My mama told me to take
my time. Don't overload on
classes. Work hard and get

is an amazing reward.
Not to put pressure on any
activity intended to combat
stress and boredom, "Old
School" was our generation's "Animal House." The
show "Greek" took high

and English literature to the

school Olympiad projects
and English literature to the
college level. Don't put this
kind of pressure on an activity intended to relieve stress
and boredom because the
best rebellious activities are
also intelligent.
Need an invite? Don't
waste the opportunity to
make new friends. Every
club, sport and fraternity are
fair game and all will welcome you. Most of the professors at CSUSM genuinely
care about you and want to
know your name and your
character. Go to office hours,
stay after class, talk to them.
Ask about the material, their
life experience, etc.
In a shameless plea for
participation, I would like
to point out that the Opinions section of The Cougar
Chronicle is open to student
contributions as a forum for
topic discussion. Please submit to Letters to the Editor.
Is anti-colonialism in o u r future?
B Y JESSIE GAMBRELL
C O - A & E EDITOR
Is "2016: Obama's America" in support of him or
against him?
Writer and director Dine&h
D'Souza, an Indian American political commentator,
compares himself to U.S.
President Barack Obama. Because they had many things
in common, I presumed this
was not just going to be a
" my-word-against-yours "
bashing sort of film.
D'Souza went to several
countries that were featured
in Obama's autobiography,
"Dreams From My Father,"
which was also quoted
throughout the movie. He
interviewed many people
who knew President Obama
firsthand, as well as experts
from a variety of fields.
You may know that President Obama's father, Barack
Sr., was born and raised in
Kenya, though he moved
to Hawaii where he met his
wife Ann.
In the film, D'Souza explained something that I had
never known before, President Obama's father, who
was a very influential figure
in his life, brought "anti-colonialism" with him.
I thought to myself, "what
the heck is anti-colonialism?" I had never heard of
this before. So I did a little bit of research and came
to find that it means to be
against the settlement of one
nation within a dependent
nation, usually to gain con-

trol over of their resources.
Our country, which began
with colonialism, is one of
the greatest nations in the
world. With this being said I
can only wonder why a president of the United States,
would aspire to fulfill his
father's views in an already
established, modern and progressive country?
The movie is very thoughtprovoking. This movie included aspects of world and
American history and introduced new and different
views. So please, don't just
take my word for it, go out
and see this movie for yourself.

Arts, Lecture series returns with new ticket price plan
B Y JESSIE GAMBRELL
C o - A & E EDITOR
The popular Arts & Lectures series returns this fall
with a new ticketing process
that requires advance reservation for all shows, and
tickets for CSUSM faculty,
staff and the public are no
longer free.
Thanks to the series
,CSUSM's halls have been
graced with world-renowned
musicians, internationally
acclaimed dancers, famous
poets, directors and authors.
Over the summer the Arts &
Lectures planning committee decided that something
needed to be done in order
to ensure that the students
who were required to attend
the on-campus events could,
in fact, get in. In previous
years, there were many instances where faculty, staff,
community members and
even students were turned
away due to a lack of seating.
"Tickets are a new thing,
before we couldn't really
plan ahead. By doing this
(having mandatory tickets) we are streamlining the
process. And yes it is going
to be a permanent thing, for
every event you are required
to have a ticket," said Mari-
lyn Huerta, of the Events and
Conference Services.
The series has been growing in popularity and the
committee has had to deal
with the growing attendance.
"Even if requesting tickets
online is a little more complicated than just showing
up for a talk, I think it shows
how far we have come as a
university. I celebrate what
the change signals about the
richness of life on our campus," Professor Alyssa Goldstein Sepinwail said.
"We've had questions
about how to do it since you
must get it online. Right
now, tickets are open for students only. Students, faculty,
and staff must bring their
CSUSM ID to be admitted
into the event," Huerta said.
For CSUSM faculty and
appreciate each other's differences and create a special
bond.

as Madonna, Taylor Swift,
Kathy Lee Gifford, Suze Orman and politician Michele
Bachmann.
Over the summer, funnyman Andy Samberg also announced he'd leave the show.
Samberg boosted the series'
online presence with "Digital Shorts," a series of comic
videos he co-created with his
college friends Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone.
Popular shorts include " I' m
on A Boat" and "Laser Cats:"
Often the weekly guest hosts
would be featured in the videos. Popular celebrity cameos included Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, Jonah Hill,
T-Pain, Jon Hamm and other
SNL cast members.
Four-year castmate Abby
Elliot also left the show. Her
impersonations
included
Khloe Kardashian-Odum,
Angelina Jolie, Zooey Deschanel, Ke$ha and many
more.
With two legendary cast
members leaving thè show,
it's not clear who will rein
next as SNL's funny girl
and who will give the show
a different comedic vibe.
However, other fan favorites
like Bill Hader, Seth Meyers,
and new featured cast members Taran Killam and Jay
Pharoah, will remain on the
late-night show.
The season premieres at
11:30 p jn . Saturday September 15. Seth Macfarlane,
creator of "Family Guy" and
"Ted " will host, with musical guest Frank Ocean.
It has already been announced that "Dark Knight
