SAE passes ban against pledging for all chapters
CSUSM's California Alpha-Gamma chapter institutes changes with enthusiasm
B Y KATLIN SWEENEY
E DITOR-IN-CHIEF
The nationwide fraternity
Sigma Alpha Epsilon has
made national headlines as
the country's "deadliest fraternity." But, the organization, including CSUSM's
chapter, has moved quickly
to change its reputation.
Last December, bloomberg.com published an article criticizing the fraternity
for the disciplinary actions
that have been taken against
multiple chapters across the
country in* recent years. It
also focused on the nine people that have died in what
were referred to as "events
related to Sigma Alpha Epsilon" since 2006, which
Bloomberg reported as more
than any other fraternity.
This March, bloomberg.
com brought SAE back to.
national headlines when JPMorgan Chase & Co. made
the decision to stop managing the fraternity's investment account due to their
negative reputation. On the
same day that JPMorgan

made their decision, SAE's
national president, Bradley
Cohen, announced the fraternity's resolution to nationally ban pledging in all
SAE chapters. The decision,
which had been in discussion
for months leading up to the
announcement, was put into
effect in an effort to eliminate the hazing t hat'often
occurs when fraternities and
sororities are initiating new
members.
The 80 members of
CSUSM's SAE Califor-
nia Alpha-Gamma chapter,
which is currently in its fifteenth year of being active at
CSUSM, have welcomed the
ban with open arms. Chapter President Mike McKinney says that all fraternities
and sororities should follow SAE's example and ban
pledging altogether.
"I love the decision that
the [SAE] supreme council
has made. Our chapter collectively has been in favor of
the ban. We looked at hazing
and saw that it wasn't neces-
sarily an issue at CSUSM,
but since we are a national
organization, we respect and
support it. There needs to be
a change and this will help us
nationally and locally," McKinney said.
While hazing has been a
problem with other SAE
chapters across the country,
the California Alpha-Gamma
chapter has not experienced
the issue firsthand. When
recruiting new members, the
chapter contacts individuals pre-rush, which is stand-
ard for all CSUSM Greek
organizations. In the past,
McKinney said that SAE
would have a rush week during 'the third or fourth week
of school.
"We're going in a new direction; we have to revamp
that whole process. We are
looking to create a closer
bond with potential new
members to have deeper conversations about who they
are and what their goals/ambitions are," he said.
The California Alpha-
issue, including the Association for Computing Machinery.
The ACM is a CSM-affiliated student organization.
According to csusm.edu
links, it is responsible for
putting together "a weekly
lecture series on academic
topics on computer science,
mathematics and entrepreneurship. Additionally ACM
organizes field trips to local
businesses and offers workshops on various topics.
ACM meets every Tuesday
during U-hour in SCI n ,
Room 242."
"It's like DLC for the internet," said Kevin, referring
to the controversial practice
of video game companies
charging extra for downloadable content. "It's just another way for companies to
get more money from clients
who are already paying!"
"It also has a lot to do with
control. If a website is undergoing a copyright dispute;
like if it features a video or
music that the owner has
a problem with,, the cable
company can shut the whole
website down," another student, who wished to remain
anonymous, said.
This naturally carries issue
for many of the Internet's
more popular critics and entertainers, many of who have
dealt with copyright claims
meant to take down their
videos, despite the fact that
they are generally* protected
under satire and critical law.
Nevertheless, a corporatecontrolled Internet could do
a lot of harm to these smaller
businesses.
"[Net neutrality] is important, but growing difficult
with ISP's [Internet Service
Providers] creating a mo-
nopoly. It will be interesting
to see how it all plays out in
the next couple of years," the
President of CSUSM's Association for Computing Machinery, Maxwell Partington,
said.
Chief among these more
financial concerns are the
growing worries over the
anticipated merger between
Comcast and Time Warner
Cable, which could allow
the groups to practically monopolize the cable industry;
which, for the moment at
least, controls the Internet.
The only other option lies
in Cloud computing, which
is very quickly being dominated by Amazon.
The backlash on the Internet is more common, with
Tim Berners-Lee, the man
credited with the creation of
the world-wide-web showing
a large amount of concern.
"When I created the web, I
didn't have to ask anyone's
permission," Lee said during an interview. "Control of
information is hugely powerful. In the US, the threat is
that companies control what
I can access for commercial reasons...there is a very
strong short-term incentive
for a company to grab control of TV distribution over
the Internet even though it
is against the long-term interests of the industry." In
the end, the frightening thing
is how our only option is to
wait and see.
There is however some
dissent to the move for net
neutrality as taken on by the
Federal Communications
Commission.
"The Internet was free and
open before the FCC adopted net neutrality rules. It remains free and open today.
Gamma chapter seeks to
follow the "true gentleman"
principles of SAE to the best
of their abilities.
"I have studied SAE history and rituals, and pledging was actually never in
our founders' beliefs," McKinney said. "Pledging was
introduced after WWII as
a way to educate members
more on the fraternity and
what it meant to be in SAE,
but this wasn't the case for
all chapters."
The bloomberg.com article listed California AlphaGamma as a SAE chapter
that experienced one of the
nine fraternity-related deaths
since 2006. McKinney explained that while the individual was a member of SAE
that passed away in 2009, the
death was not directly associated with the organization.
"We took that [article]
with a heavy heart, but we
understood that as reporters they were just trying to
get all of the information
possible " McKinney said.

Students believe magazines don't affect them
B Y SARAH HUGHES
NEWS EDITOR
. Two non-scientific surveys
of convenience were conducted online and in-person
at CSUSM to measure how
the San Marcos and online
communities feel about the
use of Photoshop in magazines.
Done as a follow-up to
Alex Maravillas' article in
issue eight, Feb. 5, 2014,
the surveys shed light on
CSUSM perception of magazines and body image. There
were some differences between the online and in-person survey responses.
The online survey conducted Jan. 23 to Feb. 24, using
the "online survey platform"
surveymonkey was distributed online through various
Facebook pages, emails and
had a link placed in a previous article. The in-person
survey was administered
Feb. 20 and Feb. 24, on paper surveys to individuals on
campus, in classrooms, near
the Clarke and the University Student Union. Most of
the respondents were young
students. Both were samples
of convenience and were
anonymous/There were 40
total participants in the online survey and 102 total
participants in the in-person
survey.
In the online survey there
were 27 female participants
who responded, 10 male participants and three individuals who skipped the question
identifying gender. In the
in-person or physical survey,
there were 58 female participants, 38 male participants
and six who declined to state
or left their gender blank.
Differences:
Participants physically at
CSUSM reâd magazines
slightly more than the participants in the online survey.
The most chosen answer in
the online survey for "How
often do you read magazines
that use Photoshop or retouched photos?" was "Not
at all often" online, selected
by 25 percent of participants.
The most chosen answer in
the physical survey was a
tie between "Slightly often"
with 24.24 percent choosing
this response and "Not at all
often" with 24.24 percent
choosing this response.
Although both groups
claimed to have "good selfesteem," the participants who
were physically on campus
rated themselves lower than
the online group. The most
chosen ratings to the question "To what degree do you
agree with the statement, "I
am a very attractive person"
on a scale of 0 to 10, 0 being completely disagree, and
10 being completely agree",
online were eight (33.33 percent), seven (17.95 percent)
and ten (12.82 percent).
The most chosen ratings to
the same question in-person
were seven (28.86 percent),
eight (22.68 percent) and six
(11.34 percent).
Similarities:
Both groups read for the
same primary reason, entertainment: online (32.50
percent), in-person (29.26
percent).
Both groups claimed that
they took the information
presented in fashion magazines "not at all seriously
- nothing in a fashion magazine is truthful." Online participants chose this response
58.97 percent of the time. Inperson, 48.51 percent chose
it. Both groups perceive the
general population as taking
fashion magazines "moderately seriously," with online
choosing this response 48.72
percent of the time and inperson participants 40.20
percent. This means that par-

ticipants believe other people generally take magazines
more seriously than they do.
Most participants said they
had good self-esteem. The
rates were comparable, with
a 76.92 percent majority
online and 79.41 percent inperson majority saying they
had good self esteem.
Participants were asked,
"In your opinion, on a scale
of 0 to 10, 0 being the least
attractive, and 10 being the
most attractive, the average
person in a magazine rates
as what number?" Rates between the two groups were
similar, but the orders were
different. Online the ratings
chosen were nine (34.21 percent), eight (28.95 percent)
and ten (18.42 percent). Inperson ratings chosen were
nine (28.12 percent), ten
(23.95 percent) and eight
(14.58 percent).
When asked to rate their
same sex closest friend, both
groups chose the same top
three numbers of nine, eight
and seven in the same order.
Online rated their "bestie"
as a nine (26.32 percent), an
eight (23.68 percent) and a
seven (18.42 percent). Similarly, In-person participants
rated their "BFF" as a nine
(23.65 percent), an eight
(18.27 percent) and a seven
(17.20 percent).
Many participants were
advocates against measuring their bodies against what
they saw in magazines.
"Models in magazines are
unnatural and often touched
up so to compare them to
oneself is unrealistic and
impossible to reach," one
participant answered in the
in-person survey.
"I believe everyone is
beautiful in their own unique
way. There is physical beauty and beautiful personalities. I primarily look at fashion magazines in passing
and when I do, it is for the
clothing and make up. I don't
compare myself to the models in negative ways only for
inspiration," another participant answered online:
The two surveys suggest
that people don't take magazines seriously, yet believe
that others take them into
moderately more consideration. Both groups believe
they have good self-esteem.

Natural beauty is preferred aesthetic
B Y RACHEL SMITH

9,2014
Magazines and advertising
companies are beginning to
give into demands for natural beauty.
Key movements from 2012
on seem to suggest that the
beauty industry is changing
to relieve social problems
associated with low bodyimage. CSUSM's opinion on
the matter is examined.
On Feb. 5, 2014, the Cougar Chronicle released the article 'Reshaping Perception:
The Vogue Image Creating
Controversy' by fashion
columnist Alex Maravillas,
regarding the subject of utilizing Photoshop in fashion
magazines and manipulating
images for unrealistic expectations of beauty.
As image retouching has
been a trend in advertising
for decades, CSUSM students were not surprised
when the Vogue controversy
erupted.
"People these days are
far too much into looks
and should be into learning
more," one student wrote
anonymously in an in-person
survey conducted by the
Chronicle.
"Many magazines, especially fashion magazines do
not portray "average" people. People should not compare themselves to them,"
another participant wrote in
the online version of the survey.
Learning more is exactly
what some magazines are beginning to do. Back in 2012,
a petition with over eightythousand signatures was filed
by a fourteen-year-old girl
against Seventeen Magazine,
hoping to "celebrate every
kind of beauty." This spurred
a movement in many magazines and even advertisements for lines like, Aerie,
American Eagle's lingerie
line that launched in January. This is an astonishing
advancement and may continue in the coming years, as
the need to change negative
perceptions of beauty and the
levels of self esteem, in both
men and women become apparent.
Out of 102 participants in
a survey handed out on campus, 58 female respondents,
38 male respondents and six
who didn't specify their gender, 29.26 percent of people
that read magazines primarily focus on the entertainment.
Also to be noted, many of
the individuals at CSUSM
who took this survey have
a higher opinion of their
friends of the same sex than
they do themselves. Participants were asked to rate
themselves on a scale of one
to 10 on agreeing with the
statement "I am an attractive
person."
The majority of people at
52.57 percent viewed themselves at a seven or lower
and 39.17 percent responded
as an eight or higher. Eight
individuals (8.24 percent)
declined to respond. But
when looking at the attractiveness of their friends,
34.02 percent answered that
their friends of the same sex
were at a seven or lower,
while an overwhelming turnaround showed that those at
eight and above were 56.70
percent.
"Attractiveness sadly determines a lot of how people are treated in life even
if attractiveness is socially
constructed," one survey
participant answered in the
in-person survey.
As seen in a social experiment sponsored by Dove in
2013, a forensic artist drew
portraits of women based on
how they described themselves and how other women
described them. The results
showed something similar to
the results we received in the
survey, the women viewed
themselves as dowdier, sadder and more wrinkled than
they actually were.
The campaign for natural beauty images is growing every day and hopefully
will benefit the self-image of
those to come.
Governor Jerry Brown has declared a state of emergency and urges Californians to conserve water. By Sarah Hughes.
D rought a ffects s tudents directly
B Y ELIZABETH CRUZ
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
Much of California is experiencing exceptional drought
conditions for the third consecutive year, making it the driest
30 months in over 100 years
according to climate.gov. Currently, California is suffering
from depleted amounts of water, as well as below average
rainfall, causing crops to fail.
Such a threat affects all Californians, as food and water may be
at risk. Even around campus,
there are changes one can make
to conserve water.
Drought is defined by Webster's Dictionary as a period
of dryness, especially when
prolonged. Droughts are more
dangerous than dry spells in that
they last longer and can sometimes take decades to fully develop. They are in the top three
threatstoworld population, accordingtoweatherabout.com.
In Southern California, imported water is relied on heavily. Only 20 percent of the water
consumed is local according
to sdcoastkeeper.org. The rest
is imported from the Colorado
River and Sacramento/San
Joaquin River Delta. With those
areas also affected by drought
conditions, Southern Californians have to recognize the
value of conservation.
USA Today reports that President Obama authorized $100
million in drought aidtofarmers in ordertocover the loss of
livestock. He ordered the Agriculture Departmenttoexpedite
applications so farmers can
receive aid in a timely manner.
Obama has also advised federal facilities to limit water consumption.
Governor Brown signed a
$687.4 million dollar package
on March 1 to aid California
during the water crisis, calling it
the worst in modern history for
the state. The bulk of the funding will gotolocal governments
for water conservation projects.
The rest will be giventoCalifornians who need general food assistance and house related assistance as a result of the drought,
as well as the Emergency Water
Fund.
The storm that hit at the beginning of March helped reduce
the risk of wildfires, but did not
bring enough precipitation to
end the droubt. Unfortunately,
most of the snow caused from
the storm will flow into the
ocean instead of into our reservoirs, according to the Union
Tribune.
Adam Allgood of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate
Prediction Center anticipates
drought conditions will persist
or worsen in many of the already affected areas.
More efficient equipment can
conserve water and regulatory
practices can monitor human
behavior. Water reused for landscaping can helptosave drinkable water. CSUSM has many
drought-tolerant plants that may
help reduce water used in landscaping.
Students and staff can conserve water at home by simply
waitingtorun a dishwasher until
it isfoil.This can save 10 to 20
gallons of water a day, accordingtothe U. S. Environmental
Protection Agency. For those
without dishwashers, washing
dishes by hand in a stopped sink
or container is an excellent alternativetoletting the sink run.
" Also, turning off the faucet
while brushing teeth or shaving
and taking shorter showers lasting onetofiveminutes can help
the water supply.

CSUSM women's basketball team finished the season under .500 but they took
home their first A.I.I. Division 1 Championship title.
The Lady Cougars were
allowed the opportunity to
compete in the NAIA championship tournament, but
lost in the first round against
number 1 seed, Vanguard.
Heather Thompson and
MacKenzie Harnett were
named 2014 DaktronicsNAIA-Scholar-Athletes.
"They're also great people, which is what the NAIA
hones in on; balance and
character. You're talking
about two kids that have
great character and they have
their priorities straight,"
Coach Crystal Harris said.
Thompson was named
A.I.I. player of the week earlier this year. According to
CSUSM athletics, she was
the first woman in CSUSM
basketball's history to be
named NAIA All-American
as an honorable mention .
"She deserves it; she's
a double-double every
night," Harris said. "It not
only speaks with her ability to score or just rebound,
it speaks about her entire
game."
Although CSUSM's leading scorer Shirika Miller is
graduating this semester,
Coach Harris has high hopes
for next season. ' .
"We're gonna get better
every game, we're gonna do
better every season," Harris
said. "Through athletics and
through basketball, we're
trying to mentor and teach
them how to be successful,
high functioning and intelligent people."
With almost the entire
team returning for another
season, the sky's the limit for
CSUSM cougars.
The Women's Basketball
team finish their season 1517, but leave their mark in
their final games of the season.
"Winning this Division 1
Title helped put our name out
there," Coach Harris said.
Nestled between Carlsbad
and Encinitas, the Batiquitos
Lagoon offers home to many
birds, fish and other wildlife
as tides sneak in and out of
the lagoon under Interstate 5.
Hikers can often catch a
glimpse of many of these
critters while meandering the
trails and enjoying the fresh
air.
There are many trails to
venture out along around the
Batiquitos Lagoon, but the
main trail has its trailhead at
the end of Gabbiano Lane.
That's also where the Nature Center is located. There
is only a handful of parking
spots specifically for the lagoon but plenty of street
parking is available.
From the trailhead, the trail
turns from paved to dirt past
the Nature Center, but it is
well maintained and relatively fiat. A bit down the path
the trail begins to run along
the Aviara Golf Course but
not close enough to have to
worry about stray golf balls.
At this point the whoosh of
cars from the 5 dissipates
into the chirps of birds sitting in the trees. The distance
from the trailhead. to the
turnaround is 1.66 miles.
There are other places
along the trail that offer access points and parking.
There are no restrooms or
water along the trails, but
there are plenty of benches
for resting and observing the
wildlife. More information

Foundation and the Nature
Center can be found at www.

B Y RACHEL GALLEGO
HEALTH COLUMNIST
The Paleo diet, in simple
terms, is what the cavemen
ate. If you haven't jumped
on the bandwagon yet, you
might be missing out on
some major health benefits.
This modern nutritional
plan suggests that you'll be
leaner and reduce your risk
for diabetes, heart disease
and cancer.
If our prehistoric ancestors
didn't eat it, diet rules say
you can't either. The paleo
diet involves eating highprotein and high-fiber meals,
without having to count
calories. Foods include fresh
lean meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, eggs, nuts and seeds.
Foods to avoid are anything
dairy. This is because the
Paleo diet (like our ancestors) is all about "huntingand-gathering" type foods.
It does allow for some cheat
days, which is anywhere
from one to three meals per
week. It just depends on how
far you are willing to take
this meal plan.
There has been some research on the health benefits of going paleo, but not
enough to make any conclu-
sions. Some researchers even
go as far as saying this diet
may improve athletic performance, because we are
genetically made for it. The
theory behind this is that our
genes were made to survive
a tough lifestyle in the ancestral age, so by eating as they
did, we may be able to perform to that level as well.
Something to look out for
is missing out on specific
nutrients, such as Vitamin
A, D and calcium from dairy
products. You may need to
take supplements, but before
making any changes to your
diet, talk with your doctor.

Restaurant Review
Intertwined pleases with food aesthetic
B Y NIKKI THOMAS
RESTAURANT REVIEWER
Intertwined is a romantic
wine bar and bistro located
in the heart of Escondido.
The ambiance is elegant and
traditional, with bohemian
accents that make this newer
restaurant inviting.
There are three different
seating areas for your enjoyment: The first can be seen
as soon as you walk in and
is used for a normal dining
experience, complete with
booths and tables.
As you continue throughout the space, there is a cozy
lounge with plush couches
and hanging lanterns accompanied by a wall filled with
different varieties of wine.
Continuing on towards the
back of the bistro, there is
a full wine bar with bar top
tables that seem great for enjoying some of their Happy
Hour Specials that are every
Tuesday through Friday from
4:00 p JII. to 6:30 p.m.
The menu is diverse and
includes: beginnings, soups
and salads, signature selection entrées, flatbreads, hoodies and a meat and cheese
plate. They alsQ offer some
side additions and a separate
dessert menu.
Their happy hour consists
of $1 off wines and beers,
and on average about $2 to

and savory which complimented some tang from the
vinaigrette. Simple but excellent.
The next entrée was the
Lobster & Shrimp Ravioli
($20). This item was plated
exceptionally beautiful, with
about eight medium sized
raviolis stuffed with moist
lobster, topped with three
plump shrimps, julienned
tomato slices. It was finished
off with micros greens, edibleflowerpetals and chives,
all in zesty lemon butter
cream sauce that made this
pasta melt in your mouth.
We completed our meal
with a Berry & Apple Crumble ($8.50). This dessert was
stunning; the berry and apple tart had a sweet crumbly
crust, paired with a double
vanilla scoop of ice cream
next to a blackberry coulis
crème-anglais with a few
blackberries aside. It was
ideal to share and satisfies
any sweet tooth cravings.
Intertwined provided an
amorous atmosphere and impeccable service. Our server
was well informed of the
menu items, preparations,
as well as any specials and
never hesitated to add any
special touches to our dining

place for a nice evening out

From sightseeing in the
Grand Canyon, to eight
mile hikes in Utah's Canyonland and mountain biking in Moab, students from
CSUSM's recreational club
had a lot to enjoy during their
adventurous spring break.
Students Gabriel Escobedo and Brenda Ferro were
among 11 others who attended the spring break trip
hosted by CSUSM's Campus
Recreation. The week long
trip was both recreational
and educational.
Gabriel Escobedo, Intramural Coordinator of Campus Recreation, said that one
of the best moments on the
trip was mountain biking in
Moab. Escobedo described
how crazy mountain biking
could be in Moab, A great
deal of people travel from
around the world to experience mountain biking here.
Escobedo explained how
different mountain biking
was because of shifting gears
and the changing terrain, and
how a person tends to get absorbed in the moment.
"With mountain biking you
focus on the moment and forget about any stresses, about
homework and whatever else
is going on in your life," Escobedo said.
Participants spending spring break in an exciting way. Photos submitted by Beatriz QuinterofromCampus Recreation.
It isn't only about being
adventurous, the trip also
allowed students to interact with nature and learn to
appreciate it. Escobedo explained how important it is
to experience nature and step
outside of the everyday life.
"Experiencing how life is
like outside of our cars, outside of iPhones and interacting with nature itself is important," Escobedo said. "It
is realizing that there is truly
something there in nature to
preserve."
The spring break trip also
had its educational moments
where students were taught
principles used when experiencing the wilderness. Escobedo explained how the
staff presented these principles through activities, films
and group discussions.
Whether it was hiking,
sightseeing or mountain biking, the truly memorable aspect of the trip was the connections that were forged
and the friendships made
along the way. Escobedo
expressed how much he enjoyed the group of students
that accompanied him on the
trip and how inspired he was
by seeing those students gain
a wonderful experience.
Ferro talked about her fellow spring breakers as well
and how appreciative she was
of having them on the trip.
"During our cross country
mountain biking, my sister
and I were so slow, I thought
they would say come on lets
go but they were so supportive," Ferro said. 'They were
very patient even though
they had to wait for us."
During hikes, Ferro explained that although they
were challenging, being with
her group made the experience that much better.
"We got a along pretty well
and talked the whole way
and took pictures," she said.
The trip included U peopie: 11 CSUSM students and
two staff members. The total
cost of the trip was approximately $350, which included
activities and lodging. The
v
trip to Utah occurs every
year during spring break.
There is also an upcoming
three day trip hosted by campus recreation to Sequoia
National Park. Sign-ups are
held at Campus Recreation
beginning Monday, April 7.
"The outdoor and recreational activities in general
is a .great opportunity to get
away from the stresses of life
and experience nature," Escobedo said. "CSUSM students should join and take to
advantage of it."

Taking Back
the Night
B Y K A T U N S WEENEY
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Take Back the Night starts
off with entertainment like
dances, music, spoken word
and speakers. During the
performances, various clubs,
community members and
classes will set up tables that
offer resources on issues like
violence against women.
Then the evening transitions
into a survivor's circle. Everyone sits down and candles
are passed out to the group.
This is an opportunity for
sexual/domestic violence or
sexual exploitation victims
to share their stories.
"For a lot of people, it's
their first time, You ended up having a significant
amount of people going up
to share their stories ," one of
the event organizers, Karen
Guzman, said.
After the discussion circle,
Take Back the Night transitions into a march around
campus where participants
chant to reclaim their bodies and voices. Afterwards,
the group gathers to list their
demands for promoting recovery against sexual assault
and ending sexual violence
against women. Take Back
the Night occurs on college
campuses across the country
and generally only reaches
students.
"One of the really cool'
things that the student committee coordinating Take
Back the Night is doing is
that they are making the program bilingual and encouraging the community to attend," Guzman said.
Take Back the Night will
take place from 5 p.m. to 9
p.m. on April 17 in Kellogg

During U-Hour on March
3, CSUSM students heard
some unusual commotion
coming from Library Plaza.
A crowd began to gather
around a woman standing on
top of a cement bench with
a Christian Bible in hand.
Those who stopped to listen
glanced at each other out of
confusion as the woman condemned everyone around her
to a pit full of fire.
Although shocking, scenes
similar to this happen several
times throughout the school
year. As many CSUSM students have gotten used to
hearing the judgment and
condemnation that comes
with these ignorant rants, it
still never fails to leave a bad
impression.
"I thought it was rude because they're judging, the
Bible says you shouldn't
do that. It's kind of hypocritical," a CSUSM student,
Tayeler, said.
The people responsible for
the controversial speeches
are not CSUSM students.
They are older folks who
come every once in a while
to remind us that we are sinners.
,,, These^ folks ., call .them-,;
selves Christians and believe
they are doing God's will by
preaching the gospel of salvation, which says, "And he
said unto them, Go ye into
all the world, and preach the
gospel to every creature."
(Mark 16:15).
Where is the line drawn?
This woman, who claimed to
be free of sin, was verbally
abusing people and picking
on whoever passed by. It
seems that she and her companions have misunderstood
God's purpose.
1 John 1:8 says, "If we say
that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth
is not in us."
In other words, if we did
not sin then we wouldn't
need God's existence, and
there'd be no need for salvation.
"It's distracting on a
school campus. I think they
shouldn't allow that here but
it is freedom of speech and
I respect that," CSUSM student, Katie, said.
Summer, who is also a student at CSUSM, had a different perspective.
"I wish the campus would
do something about it; it's to
the point where they're harassing people. It's not even
freedom of speech anymore
when it becomes harassment," Summer said.
According to the Christian
Bible, when Jesus spoke of
repentance and salvation he
attracted multitudes of people, reaching thousands of
hearts. Jesus approached his
people with love, care and no
judgment.
Jesus himself ate with sinners, and when those around
him judged him for doing so
he simply replied, "It is not
the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not
come to call the righteous,
but sinners." (Mark 2:17).
The most troubling part of
this commotion is the negative light it sheds on Christianity. If these people leave
a lasting bad impression on
students it may even have an
effect on the religious groups
on campus that are trying
to reach out to fellow classmates.
"They make religious
groups look bad on campus
because they make it seem
like God is an evil person but
God is not like that, he's the
opposite," Summer said.
The truth is that not all
Christians are judgmental,
hurtful, critical and naive.
In reality, it is ignorance that
leads people to do things
such as this.
The Bible says, "Let no
corrupting talk come out of
your mouths, but only such
as is good for building up,
as fits the occasion, that it
may give grace to those who
hear" (Ephesians 4:29).
This world is a big place.
Within the walls of every
city, state and country exists
people with different levels
of conviction and beliefs.
People shouldn't allow one
bad testimony to have a negative impact on their belief in
God, because in the end it's
just you and him.

Education is one of life's
most valuable opportunities.
With each generation we
are pushed to learn more and
more at an earlier age. With
most educational facilities
in the US, they aspire to cremate a well-cultured and well
rounded individual for higher education to follow.
With that being said, there's
a huge emphasis on learning
about black/African American culture during February,
mostly black history.
So why is it that we're
meant to be so well rounded,
yet we only learn about and
celebrate one month and one
specific race or background
at a time?
Before coming to college
I knew absolutely nothing
about Hispanic Heritage
Month (Sept. 15 to Oct. 15),
Women's Herstory Month
(March) or even LGBTQ
History Month (October). So
why is it that there's a huge
push to learn about black history, but not other histories?
In my opinion these need to
be taught in high schools and
learned about. They are part
of the real world, and they
deal with the understanding
of diversity and inclusivity
of others.
Some may argue that learning LGBTQ history or women's history may go against
certain religions or rights.
Others may argue that if
one culture is to be celebrated, like Hispanic Heritage •
month; and then all should
be celebrated.
Other cultures are celebrated throughout the year and I
believe that at least by high
school courses, they need to
be spoken about. This creates
tolerance, or at least an education on other cultures and
their success.
Some fail to realize that
we are a diverse country and
many things are contributed
from various cultures and
identities. The United States
is not made of one culture; '*
it's a melting pot full of
multiple. There's no reason
one culture should be taught
more than the next. Bringing these to high schools will
help develop knowledge and
tolerance of many different people that represent the
United States of America.

Hannah Hawker, our Philanthropy chair, recently
hosted an Autism Awareness
Event during U-Hour here at
CSUSM. During U-hour, Alpha Xi Delta passed out blue
lollipops with facts about
autism attached to them to
educate the public about how
prevalent it is becoming. It
has been recently announced
.that, "1 in 68 children are being diagnosed as having an
autism spectrum disorder"
(Autism Speaks). It is important that the public is educated about this disorder because of how often children
are now being diagnosed.
April 2 was World Autism
Awareness day. During this
day, we encouraged everyone to wear blue, as well as
to "Light it Up" blue during
the entire month of April.
This means that an individual can purchase a blue light
from Lowes or Home Depot
and replace their front porch
light with the blue light to
spread autism awareness.

GMOs have been a topic
of heated debate for many
years, but we are beginning
to see more evidence that
companies like Monsanto
are what is instigating the
problem.
According to a live RT report on Oct. 12, 2013, millions of people in 500 cities
worldwide marched against
the company Monsanto in
the hopes of influencing
others to boycott Genetically Modified Organisms
(GMOs).
GMOs are organisms
whose genetic material have
been altered using genetic
engineering techniques, and
thus do not naturally occur
in nature.
GMOs have been around
since the early 1990s, and
• have been a main contributor to the vapid growth in the
consumer marketplace.
With the genetic resistance
to diseases and pests intertwined with natural DNA,
the crops being yielded have
been substantially greater
than in previous years. But,
all it takes is one bad seed
to make any fruitful idea go
sour.

However, even with the
consideration of cross-contamination, the biotech has
consistently come out on top.
In 2012, Proposition 37
proposed to Californians the
idea of GMO Labeling. If
this proposition had passed it
would have made it mandatory for companies to label
their genetically modified
foods. The loss was by a fraction of only three peroent.

A new ad airing in Washington D.C. is putting pressure on the Supreme Court to
televise its proceedings.
This twenty-nine second ad
is funded by the Coalition for
Court Transparency. The Coalition is calling for cameras
in the Court in order to foster
a "more open judiciary."
Initially, this sounds like
an excellent idea. Why
shouldn't Americans get to
view Supreme Court proceedings when it is our tax
dollars that fund them anyway?
There is one problem with
this new initiative. However,
it is one that should perhaps
be given more thought by
those in support of transparency.
The issue is that if Supreme Court proceedings
are televised then there is a
greater likelihood that what-
The Court

by public
opinion
instead
o f the law which is
exactly why
many of the
justices are
against
the use
of cameras.
ever the justices say will be
distorted by various news
sources, and even perhaps
politicians, in order to meet
their own agendas.
The Court will be run by
public opinion instead of
the law - which is exactly
why many of the justices are
against the use of cameras.
While transparency is a
pillar of any thriving democracy, in this case there
is too much risk that justices
will give into the pressure to
make decisions simply to ap-
pease audiences.
The reason the justices have
their jobs in the first place is
because they have dedicated
a significant amount of their
lives to studying the law, and
they know the law far better than the average viewer
who would be watching the
proceedings. Because of this,
Supreme Court decisions
should not be based only on
public opinion, but in careful
deliberation and review of
the law.
The Coalition makes the
point that there have been
other courts in the nation that
allow their proceedings to be
televised. But the difference
here is that there is no jury in
the Supreme Court; the justices themselves are the jury.
Courts that allow their
proceedings to be televised
would never allow the jury's
deliberation and discussion
to be seen by the public. This
is another reason that having
cameras within the Supreme
Court would not work.

Holistic care versus toxic care for cancer patients
B Y ALEX MARAVILLAS
FASHION COLUMNIST
Current American medical practices do not necessarily cure or treat patients,
but instead prolong the life
of those with illness with the
use of expensive, artificial
and poisonous material.
Cancer is a prevalent evil
in our society. According to
the California Department
of Public Health (CDPH), in
2013 there was an estimated
144,800 citizens diagnosed
with cancer: making that
16 new cases every hour.
Alongside that data, cal.gov
also included that an estimated 55,485 Californians died;
approximately 152 deaths
each day.
As technology has advanced, so has the life expectancy of cancer patients.
"In the early 1900s, few
cancer patients had any hope
of long-term survival. In the

more than three out of five
. cancer patients will be alive
five years after diagnosis and
treatment," the CDPH said.
How will those three out
of five cancer patients fare
in those five years after diagnosis? Unfortunately, the
most common practice in the
United States incorporates
radiation and chemotherapy.
Chemo and radiation definitely have an effect on cancer, but they also have an effect on the patient's body and
mental state.
Chemotherapy and radiation ultimately destroy the
body along with the cancer,
causing patients to suffer in
a prolonged state of pain and
discomfort. Is that really surviving?
There are alternatives to
these toxic treatments. Becsusm.cougarchronicie@gmail.com

lieve it or not, eating and
using healthy, organic, raw
fruits and vegetables can
make you a healthier person
that lives longer.
Instead of treating the body
with nutrition, our hospitals
and doctors advise expensive
procedures and prescribe
harmful artificial chemicals.
Consuming and applying synthetic and poisonous
pharmaceuticals actually
deteriorates the body and
contains absolutely no nutritional value.
Why not start with your
own nutrition to heal yourself? Why wouldn't having a
healthy lifestyle for yourself
help?
Because chemotherapy
actually makes people feel
better? Really? I mean the
answer should be obvious by
now.
All you need is yourself and the knowledge of
healthy eating to help care

Harming the environment, Fracking ridiculous
BYCAITLYN THIBODEAU
STAFF WRITER
Hydraulic fracturing for
natural gas, better known as
"Fracking," has been a controversial topic in the news
recently because of pros and
cons surrounding this new
form of obtaining fossil fuels.
Despite all of the talk surrounding Fracking, not many
people actually know what
it is, and what effects it can
have on the environment.
According to What-IsFracking.com "Fracking, or
hydraulic fracturing, is the
process of extracting natural
gas from shale rock layers
deep within the earth ."
This website claims that
Fracking will result in both
internal and external benefits
to our country and suggests
that it is a completely sate
way to extract natural gas
from underground. However,
nowhere on this site does it
give any indication that this
method of extraction could
pose a threat to the environment or thé people that surround the site.
On the other side of the
spectrum, DangersofFracking .com dives deeper into the
chemicals used to undergo
this process.
D angersofFracking .com
asserts that during the pro-
cess of Fracking, "methane
gas and toxic chemicals leach
out from the system and contaminate nearby groundwater."
Furthermore, in the critically acclaimed documentary Gasland by Josh Fox,
Fox travels to areas where
Fracking occurs. During his
travels, Fox uncovers a number of severe issues related
to Fracking; such horrors included sickness and tap water catching fire. He asks his
viewers to take action and
speak out against Fracking
and the negative impacts it
has on our environment.
Like Fox, I ask you to
look at the biological effects
Fracking-has on the environment and do research into
exactly what it is and how it
can affect the environment
we live in. It's easy to pretend like it's not important
when it's not happening in
your backyard, and it's even
easier to ignore when money
is to be made in our capitalistic^ society. But, if we
continue to let this go on it
will eventually lead to detrimental environmental effects
that may never be fixed. So
get informed and speak out
against Fracking,
(Cancer continued f rom
page 8).
and even cure any illness you
may have.
The reality is that eating
and applying healthy, organic substances speeds up
our immune system and can
makes it stronger, which
can then lead you to heal
completely. Most cures start
within our immune systems.
It's that easy, and there's
nothing wrong with it.
Just ask the people at the
Gerson Therapy Institute of
San Diego. It is a non-profit
organization that dedicates
its time providing education
and training in the Gerson
Therapy.
The therapy was originally
developed in the 1920's by
Dr. Max Gerson and consists
of a non-stop treatment of a
raw, organic vegetarian diet
as well as coffee enemas and
natural supplements.
According to the Gerson
Therapy website, the program "treats many different
conditions by healing the
body as a whole, rather than
selectively targeting a specific condition or symptom."
Unfortunately, due to U.S.
restrictions on providing holistic medical care for cancer
patients, the closest Gerson
Therapy Clinic is located in
Mexico. The cancer-healing
center has an extremely strict
protocol.
Aside from the therapy's
dietary guidelines, all prospective patients must go
through an application pro-
cess and meet a certain criteria before being admitted
to the clinic. Once admitted,
patients must bring a loved
one or companion with them
and are recommended to stay
for three weeks for optimal
care and training.
After their three-week stay,
patients are then able to go
home to continue their treatment on their own.
If you are interested in
learning more about cancer
treatment alternatives, check

website for further details:

Gerson Therapy documentary and see first hand what
they do via Netflix or YouTube, which is entitled "The

Dr, Edward Balian seeks to encourage students
B Y AMANDA LENOX
FEATURES EDITOR
Professor Edward Balian
knew he always wanted to
own his own businesses.
He owned hisfirstbusiness
at the age of 29, before earning his doctoral degree at
Wayne State University. He
has owned a number of businesses ever since, including
a photography magazine,
recording studio, vintage car
business, publishing company and a consulting business
in market research.
A career in business "just
felt very natural..! had that
entrepreneurial spirit from
the beginning," Balian said.
Dr. Balian believes that his
experiences in school "was
the spark that got [him] into
teaching." He explains that
the positive feedback he received during class presentations from peers and professors helped him to consider
teaching as a career.
"When class presentations
are part of a course, students
often want to shy away from
it. They're intimidated, embarrassed; it turned out to be
one of the most important
elements for me in my entire
career in teaching," Balian
said.
Professor Balian had been
out of teaching for a few
years and was running his
other businesses. He realized
he missed teaching, so he applied to California State University, San Marcos for an
adjunct position and started
teaching in January 2007 in
the College of Business Administration.
When asked what he loves
most about teaching, Balian
responded without hesitation
that it is the "students...and
really trying to help them in
their future careers."
He hopes that when students take his classes, they
learn "more about the practicality of the real world in
business and otherwise." He
encourages* class participation and engagement with
the material.
"You can't afford to be
a good student. In today's
world, global marketplace,
U.S. economy, you've got to
be outstanding," Balian tells
his students.
Professor Balian usually
teaches Data Analysis (BUS
302), Foundations of Operations Management (OM 302)
and Operations Management
(OM 305). He also currently
has five senior experience
research teams. Outside of
teaching, Dr. Balian performs in a band called The
George-Edwards Group. He
also writes and publishes
many books (academic and
non-academic), including
Buddha Plays 18 and The
Graduate Research Guidebook (fourth edition). Professor Balian will soon be
releasing a new book titled
Buddha Meets the Beatles.

THE COUGAR CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9,2014
*EEditor:
ook Review
Drawn by humor, wit and seifi
Enter Zimbabwe, 2194.
Political and social turmoil
that once plagued this African country cut down more
than thought possible.
The streets are safer than
they were once upon a time,
and the one to thank for this
brighter future is Zimbabwe's most powerful man,
General Matsika. But the
gangs of Zimbabwe do not
take kindly to Matsika's valiant efforts. His reign is not
safe, and neither are his children.
Nancy Farmer's brilliant
science fiction j iovel, The
Ear, the Eye, and the Arm
analyzes a futuristic society
whilst composing a story of
adventure and thrill. Still
as poignant and charming
as when it was published in
1994, Farmer's novel is well
worth the read.
If deep novels aren't your
taste, then fear not. Farmer
delivers humor and clever
character writing in spades.
When Matsika's children are
kidnapped, his wife takes
matters into her own hands
and enlists the help of three
mutant detectives so named
Ear, Eye, and Arm.
Ear's powerful sensitivity to sound, Eye's equally
powerful, keen sense of sight
and Arm's empathie sense of
touch all must soon be used
to save Matsika's children.
But Tendai, Rita and Kuda
embark on a perilous adventure of their own as they
flee from danger to safety
then back again to danger,
meeting both enemies and
allies along the way. Their
once sheltered lifestyle collides against the brutal practices of the slums, and they
must learn how to adapt in
this new world if they hope
to survive. Survive long
enough, at least, for the three
odd detectives to hopefully
rescue them just in time.
The Ear, the Eye, and the
Arm earned a well-deserved
Newberry, Honor Award
since its publication, and it
remains a powerful piece of
literature in the science fiction genre.
Shield policy [which deals
with alcohol, drugs, hazing
and related issues] and our
current risk management
policy at CSUSM. That article didn't change anything
[with our procedures] because we have correct and
proper policies in place, but
it reminded us that we need
to look towards the future."
While SAE has nationally
received negative publicity, few articles have highlighted the many chapters
doing positive work in their
communities. For the past
six years, the California
Alpha-Gamma chapter has
participated in a project in
New Orleans where" they
rebuild the area due to Hurricane Katrina and the recent oil spills. They also do
a beach clean up on a regular basis. CSUSM's chapter
also donates a lot of money
to the Children's Miracle
Network and to researching
Crohn's Disease. McKinney
explained that thé fraternity's
adoption of the second cause
is due in part to the fact that
two of their chapiter brothers
have Crohn's and Colitis.
California Alpha-Gamma
believes strongly in not only
giving back to their community, but their members being
leaders on campus as well.
"We have a lot of brothers
in our fraternity that give
back to the community, like
ASI President Matt Walsh
and Joseph Sandoval, who
was the O-Team director last year and currently
works for the USU. We also
have Charles Sullivan, who
worked at the LGBTQA
Pride Center for a while,"
McKinney said. *
CSUSM's chapter aims to
continue this trend of giving back to the community
and building strong campus leaders in future years.
McKinney says that implementing the pledging ban is
an honor that will help SAE
to become even stronger.

42 sheds light on Jackie Robinson
B YZACH SCHANZENBACH
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
"I don't know about you,
but I'm feeling 22." So goes
this popular Taylor Swift
song about living it up. Well
I don't know about her, but
I'm feeling more like "42."
Yeah, I'm an old soul, but
that's not what I'm talking
about.
42 is a 2013 baseball
movie that tells a true story.
Didn't see that one coming,
did you? The story is that
of Jackie Robinson, the first
black player to play Major
League Baseball (MLB) and
break the racial lines of his
day.
Like any true story that
deals with race as a basic plot
element, the story is inspiring and uplifting. Chadwick
Boseman does a wonderful
job reincarnating Robinson's
story, as do all the other characters.
What surprised me most
about thisfilmwas who was

chosen to play MLB executive Branch Rickey; Harrison Ford. Most people don't
think of true stories when
they hear that name, but here
he is, and, just like always,
he scores big in acting.
Naturally racism gets the
boo of disapproval from this
movie, which is most prominent in Philadelphia Phillies
manager Ben Chapman's
(Alan Tudyk) incessant rambling against him during a
game about halfway through
the movie. Needless to say,
^
Chapman gets his just desserts.
There's also a strong endorsement of "turning the
other cheek," mostly from
Rickey to Robinson. 42
makes it clear that while refusing to strike back at someone who struck youfirstcan*»
be painfully difficult, it is the
better choice.
42 is a movie that speaks
for itself; capturing the essence of a movie like that
in a measly 500 words just
won't cut it. 42 gets 5 paws.

April 18-20 • Anaheim Convention C enter
Avid comic fans join industry guests and stars at the
Anaheim Convention Center
for WonderCon 2014.
A former northern Californian convention established
by comic vendor John Barrett, this event grew to become a "sister" show of the
famous Comic-Con International: San Diego (SDCC).
Organizers, according to the
Comic-Con website, moved
the show to Southern California when the Moscone
Center in San Francisco
went through construction in
2012. A year later, it received
a new name: Comic-Con International Presents WonderCon Anaheim (WCA), after
having successful years at its
new location.
WonderCon will take
place this year during Easter weekend, April 18 to 20.
The special guests include
co-publisher Jim Lee of DC
Comics, artist Cliff Chang
and writer Kelly Sue DeConnick. Earlier in February, the
Divergent: "The Mediocre Dark Horse"
movie. Other events include
panels on a wide variety of
topics and a costume masquerade. Tickets may still be
available for purchase, but
only through their online service in comic-con.org. This
year, there will be no onsite
badge purchases. For more

A teen heroine living in a

in some action sequences,
impressive visual effects,
young up and coming actors/actresses, a love story
and a best-selling novel as

formula for a successful Hollywood blockbuster.
Centered in post-apocalyptic Chicago, Veronica Roth
based her story on a dystopian society where citizens are
divided among five groups
(factions): the Selfless "Abnegation," the Honest "Candor," Peaceful "Amity,"
Knowledgeable "Erudite"
and the Brave "Dauntless."
In their society, they evaluate every coming of age teen
in order to determine which
faction they belong in.
Abnegation-born, Beatrice "Tris" Prior (Shailene
Woodley) learned that her results were inconclusive. This
causes her to be "Divergent,"
someone the government
cannot easily manipulate and
control. Eager to keep her
identity hidden, Tris claimed

Pride Staff Writer
Now that I have
your attention, let's
talk about it! While
the subject of sex
may be considered
taboo or in bad taste
to openly discuss,
knowledge is essential for those of us that are sexual
beings, a.k.a. everyone! Yes, we
are a university full of sexual
beings: heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, etc. And no matter
the views that one may have on
the subject, safety is the number

this matter/activity. Now, I'm
not saying that I am the severely

but I am more of an open ear, willing to listen, discuss, and provide
some humor to this.

That being said, let's discuss
a personal experience that this
writer recently had. In the onset
of the current semester, I was particularly excited for the start of
my first Human Sexuality course
(Psychology 352)...ever! Dare I
say, more excited than a thirteenyear-old boy before his much
anticipated first sexual experience? But with the eagerness of
this new "sexual encounter" came
the depressing thought of opening

Indeed, I was expecting homework, but I was hoping for a more

But instead, my situation consists
of researching the effects and
potential side effects of a particular contraceptive known as DepoProvera.
According to its official website (depoprover.com), Depo-Provera is an injection that women
may choose to take every 11 to 13
weeks which prevents pregnancy
for 3 months. Imagine that?
Never again will you partner have

condom wrapper, which leads me
to mention, a condom is NOT a
bag of Doritos. You can't simply

motion to effectively open your
new fashion piece, but I digress.
While this injection may effectively prevent pregnancy, it does
not protect against HIV or any
other sexually transmitted disease. Side effects include menstrual irregularities, pregnancylike symptoms, weight changes,
and depression. Along with these
side effects, prolonged use of
Depo-Provera could result in significant loss of bone density.
While the side effects may be
significant compared to the convenience of not having to remember to take a pill everyday, like all
contraceptives, it is a matter of
choice and what works best for the
individual. Even with all the great
choices, keep in mind that abstinence is the only sure fire method
of knowing you are safe and protected. But no matter what your
views on sex, remember, be safe,
be healthy, and have fun!

Gripe of the week: Parking
Students sound off on over zealous parking enforcement
Parking enforcement
common sense?
C SUSM wants Y OU ( and
your money)!
BY JASON GANAVARIS
Pride Staff Writer
BY JAMES SEBRING
Pride Staff Writer
On Tuesday, the first day of school, I
started the new semester off by receiving
a $50 parking ticket.
Like many students, I did not buy my
parking pass online. For the last 6 semesters I have opted to stand in line for an
hour or so during the first week of school
to buy my parking pass in person. In that
time, I have never been issued a ticket for
parking in one of the general lots without
a valid parking pass.
Tuesday was different.
Considering that the number of f ree
and metered parking spots on campus is
dwarfed by the number of students who
would need to use them to comply with
parking laws, it would be next to impossible for students to follow the rules in the
first week of school.
With construction closing down the
northern parking lot, j ust finding an open
parking spot on the first day of the semester was like winning the lottery. The line
of cars waiting for the drive-through parking pass machine in the Markstein lot
alone stretched well past the Lot E traffic light Tuesday morning.
A good friend of mine, who was also
issued a parking ticket, was standing
in line at the Transportation Services
office waiting to buy a parking pass
when his parking ticket was issued.
Parking enforcement, in their enthusiasm, has lost their sense of good
judgment.
Students are not trying to cheat the
system. A vast majority of student drive
to campus, which requires them to purchase a parking pass. The Parking and
Commuter Services Department would
not miss out if they allowed a grace
period for students like me to buy their
parking passes. Paying a $50 ticket on
top of a $250 pass is a slap in the face if
you are ineligible to appeal the ticket.
If you feel you have wrongly been
issued a parking ticket, I suggest you
try to appeal your ticket with the Parking and Commuter Services Department. Their contact number is (760)
750-7500, and their office hours are
Monday through Friday, 8:00am to
5:00pm in FCB-107.
I had suggested to the Administration
that it would be a nice gesture to have a
Parking Permit Moratorium thefirstweek,
since students who are buying passes are
going to pay anyway, and it would be nice
to give them a few days to purchase the
pass. I thought it would be a nice break for
the students scurrying to their new classes
in the rush of excitement, bewilderment
and frustration that seems to happen those
first days with so many trying tofindparking, classes and all the things associated
with the start of a new term. Other colleges
do it, so why not us?
I mistakenly thought that it would not
cost them all that much, then I realized
very early this morning (2:30 a.m) that
there was a great deal ofmoney to be made,
$5 to $7 per student for a temporary pass...
times maybe 1000 students. Ouch! As it
turns out, Tuesday likely brought in about
$6000 in day-pass money and probably
more on Wednesday.
The responsefromparking services was
this, "We do not offer moratoriums for parkingTas Spring permits do go on sale almost
2 months before the start of the semester
and are available for purchase on-line and
in multiple locations on campus..
There was no mention of the fact that
they make a lot of MONEY from the temporary day permits. Now to be fair, they do give
"one" permit away in a lottery drawing.
In surveying a number of students standing in line at parking services the first day, all
had purchased a day pass because they did not
know how long it would take to get the pass,
some knew you could purchase on-line, and
one student's educational funds were not available for early purchase. A staff person told
me that during the university hour the line
wrapped around several times and then snaked
out the door into Tukwut Court.
A couple students reported getting parking
violation tickets while they were over at the
day pass dispensing machine. The moral of
this story is, park next to the machine first. I
was surprised to learn that a parking pass is not
included in your on-campus housing fees.
A first week moratorium would be a fractional percent of the annual amount Parking
Services generates in parking permits and
day passes alone. The funds are directed to
paying for the multi-level parking garage
now under construction across from campus
housing. Its completion is projected for
2010 though it will take 30 years to pay for
it. An 18% increase is planned for Fall 2009
increasing annual earnings by over Vi million dollars.
My suggestion is ride a bike or take the
Sprinter. Between gas, traffic and parking fees
it doesn't seem rational to drive.

Every semester as students are confronted with buying parking permits,
some look to CSUSM's short-term parking
options to mitigate the costs of parking on
campus. Though these daily/hourly permits are less convenient, it is common for
budget-minded students to forgo purchasing expensive semester passes in the belief
that paying per use can cut personal parking expenses measurably. The Pride put
this theory to a test and compared common
parking/schedule scenarios to determine
which is of the greatest economic advantage to students.
The rundown on purchasing semester
parking permits or daily/hourly permits:
In most circumstances, the full semester parking permit is a better deal for students with a typical school week of 12-15
units. Factoring in breaks between classes,
U-hour, and other on-campus activities, it is
likely that a student with a full course load
would require a 5-hour permit or even an
all day permit to park on campus. If students can manage to pack all of their classes
into 2 days, then daily permits are the clear
choice.
With more school days at these longer
durations, the cumulative costs of daily/
hourly permits push past that of the semester permit, which makes this a less attractive option for students with long school
days. Only under special conditions would
daily/hourly permits be more economical,
namely when students have periodic access
to alternative forms of transportation (i.e.
rides from friends, walking, biking, bus,
etc.) For those that do opt for daily/hourly
permits, it is generally cheaper to park 2
days a week for longer durations than it is to
park 4 times a week for briefer durations.
The Numbers:
$248: Cost of full semester permit.
$7: Cost of all day permit.
$5: Cost of 5 hour permit.
$4: Cost of 3 hour permit.
$2: Cost of 1 hour permit.

At 11:10 a.m., standing in an
endless, non-moving line of
people, among a crowd of millions, Proudfit believed she had
seen the last of her good luck
streak.
"That night I went to two balls.

telling people that I experienced

to head back to the National

After finally having time to
look over the transcript of the
speech a few times, Proudfit
added that she thought the speech
President Obama gave was fantastic, inclusive, and assertive to
other countries.
Aside the speech and the glamour of the event, Proudfit equally
expressed her joy watching the
first African American sworn in
as President of the United States.
"I can't imagine how African

Lt. M i l l e r a ttends FBI A c a d e m y
BY JAMES SEBRING
Pride Staff Writer
Cal State San Marcos' very own University Police Lieutenant Doug Miller recently
received the honor of attending the FBI
National Academy.
The FBI trains about 1,000 local and state
police officers each year in this program. The
trainees are chosen from all over the United
States as well as other countries. Besides the
usual physicalfitnessand police training, the
Academy also offered college undergraduate and graduate level courses. One that Lt.
Miller found particularly interesting was a
course that taught you how to analyze witness statements, determine the validity of a
statement, and where the statement may be
less than factual.
"When someone is giving a detailed statement of what they did and they go from specific details to generalities and use phrases
like 'and then'; that is where you need to look
for possible falsehoods," Miller explained.
Miller grew up in Colorado, describing
himself as "somewhat of a rebel" until he
joined the Marines. His wife, Teresa, is a
nurse and currently serving in the US Navy,
stationed in Yokosuka, Japan. After serving 7 years active duty, Miller got out of the
Marines and went to San Diego State University where he wanted to become an engineer.
"I discovered that my math skills were
not up to the task of being an engineer, so I
changed directions," Miller said.
While pursuing a different degree field,
he was informed of a job with the University Police. His point of contact was a Chief
Carpenter.
"I didn't know what statistics had to do
with carpentry, but I applied anyway," Miller
said. He later discovered that Carpenter was
the Police Chiefs last name. He took the job
with the SDSU Campus Police working as a
statistician, researching and writing grants.
Impressed with his work, SDSU Campus
Police recommended Miller for police training at the San Diego County Police Academy.
Upon completion of his training, he went to
work as a patrol officer with SDSU Campus
Police, working his way up to Sergeant.
Although Miller enjoyed the work and found
it satisfying, he felt a desire to move on.
It was at this time that an opening became
available at CSUSM Police Dept. Miller
applied and was accepted. He became a
Patrol Sergeant for CSUSM, but was soon
offered a position as a lieutenant. Although
the pay was better, he was reluctant to give
up being on patrol, which for him remains an
enjoyable part of the job.
Ultimately, Miller took the job as Police
Lieutenant and moved to his new vehicle: a
desk.
When asked whether he found giving
tickets to be the most enjoyable part of his
job, Miller replied, "No, not really, but if it
prevents some kind of unsafe or dangerous
driving situation, that at least there is some
satisfaction in i t"
What Millerfindsmost enjoyable is teaching students about his job, about the dangers
that are ever present, and how to make good,
safe life choices. He enjoys it when the studentsfinallylet down their guard and begin
asking questions and sharing their experiences or asking for advice.
Looking to the future, Miller notes his
number one priority is having his wife back
from Japan, and then hopefully a meaningful retirement. They would like to join the
Peace Corps or something similar.
"Teresa and I have been involved in service related jobs for many years," Miller
said. "But we feel doing that kind of work
as a volunteer, rather than as part of our job,
would be so much more satisfying."

BY GABI MARTINEZ
Pride Staff Writer
On s urface level, CSUSM
appears to not have much to
o ffer besides a small but new
campus. However, b eneath the
surface, the campus is f illed
with a strong hunger for learning, positive a ttitude, and
teachers f illed with desire to
see their students succeed.
It's also of great b enefit to
have professors with as much
experience as College of Business A dministration professor,
David Bennett.
Professor David B ennett is
an Adjunct Professor of Management as well as D irector of
Community Business Relationships and Outreach for CoBA.
He received his u ndergraduate
degree at Northwestern University before attending the
Harvard Graduate School of
Business.
A fter being Vice President
of Mail Boxes, etc and r unning
other major corporations such
PepsiCo, Marriot and Taco
Bell, David Bennett decided
to combine his real l ife experiences with academics.
B ennett got his f irst desire to
teach while l ecturing to major
universities in the U.S. while
still working at PepsiCo and
began teaching at CSUSM in
2000.
Bennett currently serves on
the Advisory Board for the
College of Business along with

disciplines including strategic

Chinese Astrology
R at: 1900, 1912, 1924, 1936,
1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996,
2008
The Rat may likely begin the
year with a lot of momentum
from the year of the Rat. Take
an inventory for the next twelve
months. Then, with some plans
in mind, no matter what area of
life, work purposefully towards
obtaining those objectives. One
pitfall to avoid in the year of the
Ox is over-committing to engaging in too many activities at the
same time. Self-discipline, careful planning, and applied effort
are three wise methods that will
lead to a successful year in 2009.
Ox: 1901, 1913, 1925, 1937,
1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997,
2009
The Ox can do well this year
through steady progress. There
may be a number of experiences
that will provide great joy for the
Ox. One area, in particular, is the
Ox's personal life. You may see
an addition to the family. You
will be surrounded by those who
care. Look for the early summer
months to attend many social
occasions, providing many new
faces in your social circle. One
area of focus is to be open to the
advice of others, as you tend to
keep your issues to yourself.
Tiger: 1902, 1914, 1926,1938,
1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998
From the outset, 2009 may
present some true challenges
for the Tiger. The year of the
Ox presents an overwhelming influence upon the Tiger to
maintain a steady and well disciplined pace. That is not to say
that there won't be opportunities
for achievement, but it would be
more precise to say that this is a
year that would benefit the Tiger
in the areas of experience and
possibly lay a solid foundation
for the year to come. You will
have to be resourceful and rely
on your boldness and quick wit
to ascertain anything in the year
of the Ox.
Rabbit: 1903, 1915, 1927,
1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987,
1999
The past year may have provided the Rabbit with many challenges and difficult situations,
but this year will be a relief.
The Rabbit has a very favorable
outlook this year. Though it is
not part of your usual plan, you
may find that being assertive and
bold will allow you to achieve
unforeseen success. Your
attraction to the finer life
may lead you to living
it. Personal relations
are of great value to
the Rabbit and will be
emphasized throughout
the year. Put your best
foot forward in the year
of the Ox and you will
reap many benefits and %
rewards.
Dragon: 1904, 1916,
1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976,
1988, 2000
The year of the Ox may slightly
hinder the Dragon's independent
spirit. There will be gains, but
you may have to adapt to situations with different strategies
than your usual style. There are
three favorable months to provide periods of substantial progress and you would do well to
take notice of these times and
make the most of the opportunities offered. The single Dragon
will be happy to know that
romance is favored this year, so
you may find someone to share
your experiences. Be conservative in your spending or it could
result in problems next year.
Snake: 1905,1917,1929,1941,
1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001
The Snake has an incredibly
favorable year ahead. The year of
the Ox provides many opportuni-
ties for the Snake to fulfill long
awaited career goals and achieve
more than he/she ever imagined.
Your wisdom and patience are
tools that prove successful in all
aspects of your life. Relationships
could be taken to new heights and
deep and meaningful friendships
are acquired. This year proves to
be one of action, the year that all
of your planning
and
w aiting pay off for you. The later
months prove to be especially
successful, tying a year of arduous work into an extremely blissful culmination.
Horse: 1906,1918,1930,1942,
1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002
The Horse may have a challenging year ahead. You may
become frustrated with the lack
of progress in your career, but
you will have to be patient to see
the results of your hard work.
Beware of your energy levels, as
you tend to swing in accordance
to your success. You will have to
work hard to steer yourself out
of ruts with healthy activities
and other projects that keep you
active. Be open to try new things
and heed the advice of others in

the year of the Ox.
Goat: 1907, 1919, 1931, 1943,
1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003
This may not be as favorable
as a year that you desire. Coming
off the year of the Rat, you may
be seeking relief from the difficult year. Don't let up now. The
Goat is artistic in nature and you
may have difficulties finding a
way to express your creative passions. It will take an extra effort
to rely on the help of others to
make it through these times,
but if you keep a steady
focus on your goals
and display painstaking efforts, you will
be pleased to see
the fruits of your
labor arrive next
year. Don't fret,
as you may learn
a lot about yourself
in the process. You
may learn that you
are more versatile,
as well as resourceful,
than you ever imagined.
Monkey: 1908, 1920,
1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980,
1992, 2004
This year offers the Monkey
some opportunities to go far
with your talents. The Monkey's
generous nature may leave you
stretched in several different
directions, so it is important to
stay focused in order to achieve
the goals you have set for yourself this year. You will be given
the opportunity to impress the
right people both in business,
as well as in your personal life.
Don't hold back this year, for
this could be one that will leave
an impression over the course of
the next few years.
Rooster: 1909, 1921, 1933,
1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993,
2005
Aside from the Snake, the
Rooster has the best prospects in
the year of the Ox. This is the kind
of year you have been waiting for,
as everything seems to go your
way. You have been diligently
working towards some long term
goals that finally come together
this year. Your relations are felt
at new levels, as you find a sense
of satisfaction that you may not
have experienced in a long time.
Things you may have thought not
possible will become a reality for
you in this positive year.
Dog: 1910, 1922, 1934, 1946,
1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006
2009 will present the Dog
with a number of challenges.
Your patience will certainly be
tested in more than one instance.
You may not necessarily gain
the notoriety you desire in your
career, but certain advancement opportunities will surface
throughout the year. You will
find comfort with your family
and solidify bonds that are
necessary for your well being.
You may have issues juggling
your family life with your work
schedule, but you will make
great strides in both areas by the
end of the year.
Pig: 1911, 1923, 1935, 1947,
1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007
The Pig has many opportunities to shine this year. Your generous nature is apparent in all
aspects of your life. This year,
your inherent generosity plays
a large role I n areas that you
may not even be aware and may
pave the way to a possible career
change. You have an abundance
of friends and you are well loved
by your family, this year will
only enhance these relations.
One area that may create some
issues is that you seem to overextend yourself to a point where
there isn't any time left for you.
This could lead to a change in priorities and could promote some
better organizational skills.

Best Kept in Kemp
BY JOSEPH IRAGGI
BY JOSEPH IRAGGI
Tall striking poignant outspoken extrovert struts onto the stage with theatrical
lights shining blinding.
He can't see the audience and doesn't care.
Another antagonist dashes onstage to put a rapier in the m an's chest.
The protagonist dodges the violence and leaves the crowd in silence.
On come three damsels distressed looking for relief from the reliable romancer.
The gang harangues the hero until the big bang.
Curtain closes only to reopen sooner than later with more conflict resolution and
revolution.
The nice knight bows and bids adieu to the entire crew.
The deciduous and evergreen forests, oceans, deserts, mountains, and plains all
contain the same elements.
Human beings complain, drain, and train only to maim the game.
Living is giving back to the reconciliation of respiration.
Take a deep breath and reflect on personal neglect.
The answers forbidden a ren't hidden or exclusive.
Forgive and be included OR be glib and stay deluded.
Back to the play with a cast dissatisfied with their roles.
Mounting mutiny proceeds to illuminate the alliances forged.
Memories don't forget prior behavior.
Get over yourself and see the holistic humility of entirety.
Maybe then drama can turn to comedy and avoid the tragedy of miscues.
Because only YOU lose.

Vest
The vest can function as your
ubiquitous go-to outerwear of
2009. The popularity of the
vest comes from its nearly
limitless functionality
and compatibility. It can
be worn with a button
down shirt to channel sartorial elegance,
or worn with your
favorite t-shirt to
attain a more rock
star vibe. When
purchasing a vest
opt for one in a
darker shade for
its versatility
and its ability to
streamline your
silhouette.
Cardigan
The cardigan
functions like
a vest, it creates
an opportunity to
layer clothing, creating visual depth and
complexity. Think of
the cardigan as your go to
sweater. Ditch the clunky
wool sweaters of yesteryear for a the frame. You can also opt for colors, from the classic black and

The New Year and new semester have brought about new changes
to "The Pride." The changes intend to
provide fellow Cougars with an even
better newspaper. "Beer of the Week"
enjoyed numerous weekly columns in
the semesters past. "Exclusively Fluid"
is essentially a hybrid of the beloved
"BOTW." The new column runs weekly
and brings an exciting change by showcasing the best of both alcoholic and
nonalcoholic drinks.
Debuting as the first beverage for the new column is
Gatorade's relatively new
line of G2 sports drinks.
The 32 fluid ounce sports
drink retails from $2-3 and
is found at most grocery
stores, mini-marts, and gas
stations. The six tasty current flavors are grape, strawberry-kiwi, orange, lemonlime, blueberry-pomegranate,
and fruit punch. The G2 line
might see additional flavors in
the years to come as is Gato- j
rade's trend of gradually introducing new flavors.
Distinguishing G2 from the original Gatorade lineup are 50% fewer
calories and extra vitamins such as
Vitamin B, C, and E. Despite the
reduction in calories, G2 retains
the same fundamental benefit of
electrolytes, making the
sports drink an even
better choice for normal
consumers and athletes.
The G2 fruit punch flavored drink tastes
absolutely delicious. The scent and experience seem like a throwback to the good
old days of cherry flavored Kool-Aid. G2,
regardless of the flavor, feels a lot lighter
than regular Gatorades. The ability to stop
drinking fades away with each yummy
gulp.
G2 is a revamped, renewed, and overall
better tasting Gatorade with less calories
and the same amount of electrolytes. The
G2, especially the fruit punchflavor,can be
enjoyed by all Cougars. With a raised glass
of G2, cheers to new beginnings!

The^Pricle- highlights prominent b lack figuresthr^oughout history
BYÉBONIHARVÈY A
Pride Staff Writer ^

For the e ntire month of February, The Pride will
f eature articles ^pertaining to the acknowledgement
of Black History Month in relation t o 2 the campus
community.
This w eek's issue highlights the strides made by
h istorical black f igures in bringing awareness to
r acial equality and laid the foundation for the country t o elect its f irst black president, Barack Obama.
February, also known as Black History Month,
seems extra special this year. Electing Barack Obama
as the f irst black president is, for this generation, as
important and unforgettable as the long list of events
and people in black history.
Year a fter year, black people continue making
strides towards a progressive f uture. Nonetheless,
there are several individuals who are precursors to
the history made January 20th. President Obama
j oins the r anks of these individuals that continue to
inspire the cultural experience of a changing world.
The premise of Black History Month originated in
1916, when Dr. Carter G. Woodson and Rev. Jesse
E. Moorland, co-founders of the Association for
the Study of Negro Life and History, published The
Journal of Negro History. The j ournal was a compilation of research the two men conducted to help
create awareness of the impact black people played
in America. Woodson also published the j ournal in
hopes that it would instill pride among the black
community.
Woodson, himself, was the son of a former slave
and the second black person to graduate f rom Harvard University. Woodson advocated for the f raternity Omega Psi Phi to create Negro History and Lit-

If anyone is like me in
any way, then chances
are that we don't like
some of the same things.
For example, I can't stand
it when I'm trying to eat
some colonel at a certain
fried chicken franchise
with friends, all the while, little
baby loud mouth is screaming his/
her head off and throwing his/her
cheaply made plastic toy he/she got
with his/her meal.. .at me! We've
all been in that situation before,
and if you haven't, feel sorry for
me and send me a basket offruitto
console my terrible fast food experiences. Now, why am I discussing a topic that might have nothing
to do with sex? Well, keep reading
and I'll tell you! (Jeez, chill out.)
Ironically enough, this situation paints a, somewhat, accurate
description to what some may have
gone through during sex. First,
everything is great: you're enjoying
yourself and taking part in something that you personally enjoy.
Then, all it takes is one fateful
action to turn what was once a delicious grilled cheese sandwich into
a damp square of cold mush. (Yes,
a sandwich filled with cheese...
and sex!) So, what is it that causes
t hese s udden outbursts of moment
destroyers? Is it involuntary? Have
you just always wanted to try it? Or
are you just misreading your partner?
Let's be serious for
a bit, sex is a serious
and beautiful thing.
It is a union that is
shared with you and
your partner, and
hopefully, it is something that you do out
of love. That being
said, there is nothing at all wrong
with enjoying the experience of
sharing an intimate moment with
your significant other and tailoring to suit your (and your partner's) needs. The only downfall is
that you have to know what your
partner likes before you try it. For
example, "talking dirty" is quite
the popular way to spice up one's
sex life. But sometimes, you'll find
some people out there that don't
much care for it, personally, I think
it's a little cliché, and preferably,
only best suited for Steve Carell's
portrayal of a 40-year old virgin.
But there are many ways that one
can help to give his/her partner
"what they like" and receive it in
return as well. Whether it be something as adventurous as different
positions, to something as simple
as the way your partner dresses or
expresses themselves.
That being said, let's get to know
some of our fellow cougar's interests when it comes to sex and relationships. Anonymously, of course.
To get a broad sense of what some
look for in a partner, I asked variety of people with differing gender
identifications and sexual orientations.
Name one turn on and one turn
off when it comes torelationships:
Male, 21, heterosexual: "I love
confident girls who are comfortable with themselves and who they
are. And I'm definitely not into
girls that worry about what they
eat."
Female, 19, heterosexual: "Plain
jealousy is just horrible. I like the
"little things," like just calling just,
because and visiting me at work. It
lets me know that they care."
Male, 22, homosexual: "I like
someone who can hold a good conversation and is open to trying new
things. And I don't like someone
who has no "drive" or life goals.
They would rather stay home all
the time then go out every once in
awhile."
Name one turn on and one turn
off when it comes to sex (if sexually active):
Male, 21, heterosexual: "I definitely love girls in heels, because it
accentuates their legs and their buttocks. I really don't like girls that
are into weird stuff, like role-playing as sexy ninjas or astronauts.
Female, 19, heterosexual: "I hate
when they only think about pleasing themselves, I'm like, "Hey!
What happened to my needs!?" I
like constant touching, like cud-
dling or just
holding each
other. The
love just keeps
coming.
Male,
22,
homosexual:
like when the other
gets really "into it" by not holding
back their moans and is somewhat
aggressive but not overt. I don't
like if the other person does not
reciprocate or "give back" during
sex and is unadventurous when it
comes to new sexual positions or
techniques."
Obviously, these are all individual
preferences and are all respected.
While anonymous, I applaud this
diverse group of people for sharing their experiences with such a
sensitive topic. But just remember,
whatever you and your sexual partner may enjoy doing, make sure
you do it (pun intended) safely and
mutually. And never let anyone get
you down about what you enjoy
doing and talking about, everyone
is different and each have their own
preferences. Just remember to keep
communication with your partner
open and free of discomfort. So
if your significant other decides
to utilize the dreaded whips and
chains in your next encounter, talk
to them. You are just not into that
kind of thing*right?So make sure
you tell them that, for the sake of
your bum.

RecycleMania 2 009
Campus wide event garners strength
BY JAMES SEBRING
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM is positively influencing the community and the
environment by participating
in Recyclemania. Recyclemania is a nation wide competition between over 500 colleges
and universities for the national
Recycling and Waste diversion
title. CSUSM proudly continues
to hold the title it first obtained
in 2005.
"We got a random e-mail
asking if we wanted to join.
We didn't know what it was but
thought, 'what the heck, let's
give it a t ry!'" said Carl Hanson,
Department Manager of Custodial Services at CSUSM. "At
that point, there were only 43
colleges and universities competing. We won it hands down
from start to finish. It astounded
us."
Recyclemania began in 2001
as a small competition between
two Ohio colleges. It contin-
ued to spread and gain popularity. This year, Recyclemania
includes about 510 colleges and
universities.
Hanson urges everyone to
keep on recycling. Contributions may include plastic bottles
number 1-7, cans, glass bottles
and jars, cardboard, paper, and
pre and post consumer food.
The competition runs from
January 18 through March 28.
Recyclemania consists of
different subcategories: gross
weight, per capita, and recycle
percentage of total refuse.
Hanson
believes
that
CSUSM's secret success is due
in part to the already established social climate in regards
to recycling, adding that, "we
didn't have to create something
new or try to change attitudes."
Carl also offers credit to the

among other things. The
program places each
intern with members of
Congress who represent

The application process has several requirements. Students interested in applying must be
a junior or senior with a
3.00 GPA or above. Other
requirements include a
letter of application, a
school transcript, and at
least two letters of recPhoto courtesy Jenny McDonald ommendation from fac-
ulty. After students apply, there
is an interview process where
CSUSM's committee headed
by Erika Kirst, Coordinator of
Greek Life and Leadership Programs, interviews applicants to
select one student to represent
the campus in Washington.
There are many benefits from
this program.
"It is an honor to be part of
it because it is unique, only
one student is selected from
each campus," said Kirst.
Another great benefit is that the
program pays for the interns'
expenses such as housing and air
travel. Interns also receive stipends to cover other expenses.
"I encourage students to take
advantage of this opportunity,"
Kirst added.
Among other benefits, interns
can earn up to 20 units during
the semester.
Last semester, junior Jennifer McDonald was the student
representative for CSUSM.
McDonald emphasizes that student applicants do not necessarily have to be a specific major.

"It is something really beneficial for anyone who wants to
work in government, policy, or
the media. It is a one of kind
opportunity," McDonald said.
The Congressional Internship
Program is an excellent opportunity to build connections in
Washington, D.C.
McDonald's
internship
included many unique experiences such as going to the
White House and Congressional hearings.
"I got to meet people who
write our laws, who have
been influential for the past
30 # years," said McDonald.
One of McDonald's most mem-
orable moments was when,
President Bush's Chief of Staff,
Joshua Bolten, talked to other
interns and her for almost an
hour and took questions from
them. Another highlight of her
experience was to be in Washington, D.C. when historical
events such as the 2008 election and the financial bailout
occurred.

friends, and do something good for
a community in need."
Another CSUSM student, Kyle
Gregory, also attests to the program's benefits.
"You get a lot more out of it
than you would out of a traditional
spring break. It's a fun experience
and gives you a sense of accomplishment as well," Gregory said.
While the
program
seems more
work oriented than a
usual vacation, they
make time
to have fun
as well. This
year, in addition to volunteering,
the group
will take time to visit the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame and watch a
Cleveland Cavaliers game.
Typically, there are only ten
spots available for students to go,
and the sign up time is during the
fall semester. Though it is too late
to sign up for this year's alternative spring break, returning students can still sign up for next year
during fall of2009.

If you do not have plans for
Spring Break 2010, alternative
spring break may be an option. It
may not seem as fun as a self-indulgent weekend, but it is an opportunity to help others in need. For further information on the Alternative
Spring Break program, visit the

He's Just Not That Into You
A re y ou the exception or the rule?
BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
Editor-In-Cheif
Girls, how many times have people told
you that you are wasting your time with
the guy you always have to call or the
one who only wants to see you when he's
drunk? How often do you listen?
How often do you sit around with your
girlfriends analyzing and psychoanalyzing his every word and move?18®
Maybe the answer to all your troubles
is simple.
Maybe, he's just not that into you. ,
The best seller-made-into-movie formula seems the best way nowadays to
increase readership.
The Boston Herald claims the book
"could save a generation of women who
would be wasting their lives waiting by
the phone."
"Sex and the City"firstcoined the phrase
that inspired the book title. In fact, authors
Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo worked as
writers on the popular show. The countless
conversations that took place in the "Sex
and the City" writing room inspired this
self-help book foj: womeri; Written from
the advice of a man, "HJNTIY" "matterof-fact"-ly evaluates the classical scenarios most women go through in the dating
world.
With chapters entitled "He's Just Not
That Into You If He's Not Asking You
Out" and "He's Just Not That Into You If
He's Disappeared On You," Behrendt promotes a bit of tough love to readers while
Tuccillo acts as the voice of understanding,
often relaying the "easier said than done"
mentality most women may encounter
while reading. Though Tuccillo experienced many of the scenarios presented in
the book, she ultimately sides with Behrendt's verdict on the matter, citing her
failed success rate as proof.
At the end of each chapter, Behrendt
backs up his advice with statistics. In the
chapter entitled "He's Just Not That Into
You If He's Not Dating You," Behrendt
discredits the excuse that men are afraid
of intimacy stating, "100% of guys polled
said 'a fear of intimacy' has never stopped
W ord(s )

them from getting into a relationship."
One guy quoted even said, "That's just
what we say to girls when we're just not
that into them "
J?
Though the book may come off a bit
harsh, it has the best intentions. It offers
women the opportunity to have control
over their dating life by setting themselves
to a new standard. By adopting the principle, "he's just not that into you," women
can spare themselves the tears and heartache and take comfort in knowing how
to identify the right guy when he comes
along.
The book motivates women to consider
themselves the rule and not the exception
when dating. We've all heard the story
about the girl who pursued the guy and
they ended up living happily ever after or
the one where the guy treated the girl he
was sleeping with awful for a few years
and then one day he realized he loved her.
"HJNTIY" commands women to erase
these stories from their memory reminding women that they are exceptional but
not the exception.
Any
woman out
linflge
there stands to benefit
from reading the book. Whether
you are single, in a relationship, or even
married, pick it up and give it a shot. The
150 plus pages are an easy read and even
if you yourself are blissfully content with
your love life, chances are you hiave a
friend out there who could benefit from
these words of wisdom.

How many vaginas have you
met? The answer will differ
from man to woman, young to
the old, right? Did these vaginas
talk to you? What did they say?
Eve Ensler would agree that
vaginas do indeed talk and they
have a lot to say.
Well who the hell is Eve
Ensler?
Her vagina would say that
she is many things: a playwright, a feminist, an anti-violence activist, and a vagina
advocate. Ensler began writing
monologues based on the interviews of nearly 200 women
about various topics such as
sex, orgasms, and female mutilation centered on what Oprah
Winfrey calls the "Va-jay jay."
The Vagina Monologues
were first shown off-Broadway
in 1996 but since its debut,
it gained popularity, gaining
vagina-friendly fans across
the nation. Oh, and yes there
are some international vagina
advocate proponents as well.
After seeing one performance
the vagina will no longer be
taboo. For Ensler, the vagina
is something to be celebrated,
cherished, and adored; it should
be free from violence and injus-
cream in the actual ingredients.
A milk chocolate brown radiates
from the glass. Wafts of chocolate bliss fill the surrounding air.
The liquid enters the mouth and
gingerly scrubs the tongue and
taste buds. Small sips turn into
large gulps, eventually resulting in an empty Yoo-hoo glass
bottle.
After purchasing all of
those pricey textbooks,
stroll to the nearest gas
station and grab a delicious glass bottle of Yoohoo. Salute!

tices. Every vagina has a story to
be told and the stories behind these
entertaining, tearful, hilarious, and
educational monologues tell all
females where her empowerment
lies—in between her legs.
Ensler's coochie-snorcher discourse has been performed at many
campus universities. ASI Women's

In tough economic times, Hollywood can count on
this weekend for
a big haul. This
week's line-up features several big
name films that
will compete for the
top box office spot. All
the films have potential
to be very good and bad.
It is just a matter of how
far they are willing to go
on that spectrum.

They have titled their
latest abomination
"Dance Flick."
This
genre
of lame parodies spawned by
"Scary Movie" and
continued by the Wayne's Brothers and others such as Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer needs to
go away. It makes me sick to see
these
unoriginal
films referencing and exploiting other movies.
I will not subject
myself to this weak
parody of dance
movies, and I urge you
to do the same.
Another waste of
money coming out this
week is "The Pink Panther

The Lakers beat the Cavaliers
and the Celtics at home and have
proven themselves superior to
these giant teams in head-to
head matchups. The Lakers beat
the Cavaliers despite Kobe dislocating his finger. They play
well despite a string of injuries, and continue to improve
their skills (although they need
a stronger defense with reliable
defensive/offensive rebounding). The Celtic romping of the
Lakers in last year's championship series left an indelible
sting on Laker morale. Despite
last year's loss and obsessive
cheers of "Beat LA," the Lakers
have assembled an all-star cast
of players. Let us rejoice in the
fact that our local Lakers team

from Neil Gaiman's best selling
novella of the same name. It follows Coraline, a young girl who
finds a secret door into an alternate reality where fantasy and

Every time I come back, the

Latina Dance Project
BY CONSUELO MARTINEZ
Pride Staff Writer
Students will have the
opportunity to participate and
learn about the hybrid work
of the Latina Dance Project.
The Latina Dance Project is
a group of four women who
bring their unique cultural and
social perspectives of Latina
life in the United States. The
3-day residency of the piece
""Coyolxauhqui Remembers,"
will take place at Cal State San
Marcos with their f irst event a
lecture/demonstration on February 4, 7 p.m. in ARTS 111.
"Coyolxauhqui Remembers," a
modern tale of Coyolxauhqui,
the Aztec moon goddess,
"is retold through four stories of victimization, feminization, objectification/dismemberment which are brought
together in the myth of the
moon goddess," according to
the program description.
The f irst event at CSUSM
will be a performance and
lecture where attendees will
get a preview of the f ull performance to take place at
MiraCosta College on February 6. Marilyn Huerta, the
Arts and Lectures Coordinator at CSUSM, says the event
at CSUSM is f ree to students
and the community and all are
welcome to attend. Dr. Arcela
Nunez-Alvarez of the National
Latino Research Center says,
"It is important to support cultural events like the Latina
Dance Project because they
reinforce the need to recognize our cultural traditions
and also remind us how culture is constantly changing.
Hosting the project in North
County will provide an opportunity to share culture and can
serve as a vehicle to bring us
together."
