Legislation for our education
o
Governor signs AB 262 and AB 1584 to alleviate financial burdens of CA college students
BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
Pride Staff Writer
Two bills signed into legislation recently this month are just
some governmental measures
reforming postsecondary education in California. While the
vetoing of AB 1413 earlier this
month may have discouraged students and campus faculty members, California assemblymen are
still pushing for legislation that
addresses the needs of students in
the postsecondary public school
system and are starting to receive
some success in return.
Governor
Schwarzenegger
recently signed AB 262 and
AB 1548 into law. Both legislations help alleviate the financial
burdens of college for students
across the state.
AB 262, commissioned by
Democratic Assemblyman, Joe
Coto, looks to dispel credit card
companies from targeting college students on campus with
gifts and other luring tactics.
Also called The College Student
Credit Protection Act, AB 262
advises university executives to
revise regulations on credit companies on campus.
Student debt is quickly becoming an epidemic throughout college campuses across the country. While student loans also add
to the problem, credit card debt utors and faculty members. The

prices are a huge issue for college
students." Assemblyman Solorio
said in an Oct. 13 press release.
According to the General
Accounting Office 2005 report,
textbook prices increased 186
percent between the years 1986
and 2004; nearly triple the rate
of inflation during that same time
period.
AB 1548 does not decrease
textbook prices but it does offer
students more opportunity to
make better textbook purchasing decisions. The bill also
holds those who select textbooks
accountable for taking students
best interests into consideration
during the process.
"AB 1548 provides a comprehensive approach to controlling
college textbook prices by placing additional disclosure requirements on all parties involved in
creating the high prices. That's
why the bill was supported by the
California State Student Association, the California Teacher's
Association, the Association of
American Publishers and the
California Postsecondary Education Commission," said Assemblyman Solorio.
Students will soon be able to
see how these bills affect life on
campus and if they set a precedent to pass similar bills in the
future.

Islamo-Fascism
Awareness
Week was held Oct. 22 to 26. The
David Horowitz Freedom Center
organized and promoted the event
in conjunction with conservative
student organizations across the
United States.
The intent of Islamo-Fascism
Awareness week was for conservative groups to inform the
American student population of
what the David Horowitz Freedom Center calls the "two Big
Lies." These lies, according to
The Terrorism Awareness Project website (http://www.terrorismawareness.org), are, "George
Bush created the war on terror
and that Global Warming is a
greater danger to Americans than
the terrorist threat."
The Terrorism Awareness Project also stated the purpose of the
protest is to "rally American students to defend their country."
200 universities and colleges
across the United States participated in the event, including Palomar College. CSUSM
initially appeared on the list of
participating campuses but was
later removed. When asked why
the Terrorism Awareness Project
removed Cal State San Marcos,
among other schools, from the
list, a representative from the
group declined to comment on the
matter.
The events included keynote
speakers, panels on oppression of
women, showings of Suicide Killers, Obsession, or Islam: What
the West Needs to Know and the
ABC mini-series The Path to 9/11,
a petition encouraging students
to claim their allegiance, and a
memorial service for the victims
of terrorist attacks. There will
also be a petition "denouncing
Islamo-Fascist violence against
women, gays, Christians, Jews
and non-religious people."
In response to the event the
Muslim Public Affairs Council instructs Muslim students to
do the following: "demonstrate
Islamic ethics and restraint, support free speech, not respond,
contact campus administration,
talk to other student groups,
report hate crimes and incidents."
They also provided workshops for
students under the banner, "Truth
Over Fear: Countering Islamophobia."
The MPAC pamphlet provided
to help Islamic students navigate
through the demonstrations states,
"programs such as Islamo-Facism
Awareness Week (IFAW) seek to
isolate and divide communities,
thereby dislodging their place as
contributing members of society."

In a game that was almost not

the morale of 60,439 fans; even if it
was for only four hours.

The Chargers faced similar circumstances in 2003, when their

enough, to Qualcomm being used as

The #6 ranked CSUSM women's soccer team
is headed to its first ever playoff appearance
Wednesday, as the Cougars face off against the
#3 ranked Concordia Eagles in the first round
of the NAIA Region II playoffs on Wednesday.
The game is at Concordia at 1:00pm.
This is only the second season of women's
soccer at CSUSM, and with only four seniors,
the playoff berth shows plenty of potential.
In a press release from the university, coach
Ron Pulvers said, "For our young team, this is
going to be a great opportunity to get experience in a playoff setting."
The Cougars will look to capitalize on the
skills of senior defender, Annica Perez who
was the October 2007 women's soccer athlete
of the month.
This match-up may look familiar to the
Cougars, who faced Concordia on September
8th, in a fatigued game that ended up being
the worst CSUSM loss of the season. One day
earlier the Cougars played #1 ranked Azusa
Pacific, losing by a score of 0-1.
This time the Cougars will be well rested
due to the cancelation of their final regular
season game, against La Sierra University on

San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders
announced late Thursday that the
stadium would be ready and capable
to host the game, stating "The City
will be able to provide s ufficient
public safety personnel to manage a
professional football game without
impeding ongoing w ildfire recovery
e fforts."
The team returned to San Diego
Friday morning allowing time for
players and staff to return to their
homes-all of which still standing.
Throughout the week's tribulations, the Chargers managed to stay
focussed for their match-up with the
Houston Texans en route to their
third consecutive victory; 35-10.
The Chargers got the p arty started
with 5:49 l eft in the f irst quarter with
a Philip Rivers to Antonio Gates
49 yard crowd-pleasing touchdown
reception.
Later in the f irst, Chargers cornerback, Antonio Cromartie recovered
a Bryan Pittman fumble and took it
to the house, pushing the Chargers
lead to 14-0.
Houston got on the board early
in the second quarter with a Kris
Brown 40-yard field goal.
Antonio Gates made the highlights
again with a 31 yard touchdown
reception to the l eft. Antonio Cromartie followed soon a fter with an
interception f rom Houston quarterback, Matt Schaub that was returned
for a 70 yard touchdown.
Philip Rivers got the newly
acquired wide receiver, Chris Chambers involved with a 14 yard touchdown pass near the two minute mark
in the second quarter.
The Chargers took a 35-3 lead into
h alftime, and needed nothing more
f rom the o ffense to secure the victory.
The Chargers won by a score of
35-10, in a game that brought out the
best of the Chargers in the midst of a
crisis throughout the county.
"It was kind of like a win for the
San Diego Chargers, but at the same
time it was a win for San Diego
itself," said Gates a fter the game.
The victory improved the Chargers record to 4-3, putting the in a
tie for f irst place in the AFC West
with the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Chargers travel to Minnesota

The Lost Boys of Sudan
Renowned author Benjamin Ajak shares
his story of survival
BY BEN ROFFEE
Pride Staff Writer
On multiple occasions in the past few
weeks, Cal State San Marcos hosted several distinguished guests of various backgrounds to speak to students, faculty, and
staff on a variety of topics. Last week was
no different as Sudanese native Benjamin
Ajak visited CSUSM on Oct. 16 and 17,
bringing with him an unrivaled story of
survival and triumph of the human will.
From a village of mud brick to a sprawling city of steel and concrete, Benjamin
Ajak traveled tens of thousands of miles in
his 14-year exodus from his war torn home
of Sudan. Benjamin is most famous for
"They Poured Fire on us From the Sky", a
book he co-authored with cousins Benson
and Alephonsion Deng and mentor Judy
A. Bernstein. The book documented their
accounts as part of nearly 20,000 displaced and orphaned Sudanese refugees
popularly referred to as "The Lost Boys
of Sudan."
With the help of the International
Rescue Committee, Benjamin Ajak and
thousands of other "Lost Boys" resettled
across the United States. En route to San
Diego, Benjamin's flight was diverted to
Canada due to the attacks of September
11, 2001. He finally arrived in San Diego
two weeks later.
Of the few things Benjamin brought
with him from Africa, his unquestionable
passion for learning and education accompanied him throughout his various travels.
Sharing his experiences, Benjamin spent
two days on campus, kept busy by a dense
itinerary involving class visits, book signings, and an address before an audience
of students, faculty, staff, and community
members.
In one such engagement, Benjamin took
the time to respond to questions from students with topics ranging from the Sudan
People's Liberation Army to favorite educational experiences in the United States.
One student asked Benjamin how he felt
in his first encounter with a lion, to which
Benjamin responded, "Living with the
lion is not scary for us...because we live
in the jungle."
Another student asked Benjamin if he
misses anything from his life in Africa.
"Yes, I miss a whole bunch," replied Benjamin. "I miss a whole lot of friends."
Despite the seriousness ofhis story, Benjamin's lighthearted demeanor throughout
the discussion carried over to the audience, who laughed along with his stories.
In keeping with the tone of the discussion, one student jokingly asked, "some
men in the village had many wives, are
you bummed out that in America you can
only have one?"
Of his father's eight wives, Benjamin's
mother had 13 children of which only
himself and his brother survived the civil
war in Sudan.
Prior to becoming a full time speaker,
Benjamin worked as a truck driver and has
been to all of the lower 48 states. Benjamin plans to continue to visit schools and
other organizations to share his story and
insight with others.

The iPod Touch
BY ELBERT ESGUERRA
Pride Staff Writer
If you thought Apple had finally hit the
ceiling when it comes to must-have gadgets this year, think again.
The iPod Touch has just been released
on the market and is being hailed as
iPhone's hip, retro baby brother. Here are
the basics - there are two models available— an 8GB and a 16GB respectively
starting at $299. So then the question
people should ask themselves is "why
should I get my hands on this neat little
device?"
It's justifying to
know Apple is getting all the praise
it deserves, especially for all the
Apple owners. On
that same token, is
there anyone that
can stop them at
this point?
The lingering m m m m m mm m
mmmmmamm
question remains
whether this sleek, little MP3 player is a
must have. How does it compare to the
iPhone that is already been on the market
for 4 months? The answer is simple having the iPod Touch is like owning a
Cadillac when you're actually driving a
Buick. Had the iPod Touch been released
before the iPhone, it would have been the
device that launches Apple into the upper
stratosphere of technical mastery.
Witbfthat said, here are 5 tips about the
iPod touch:
Get your web applications. From
checking Facebook to creating personal
calendars to checking personal email,
Apple has created a link enabling users
to download vital web applications. It is
a good idea since it integrates well with
the already user-friendly touch screen
browser. And speaking of web browsers...
Try to figure out Safari. Sure the
melius on the device move fiuidly, but
that doesn't mean people will figure out
the web browser in a day. Safari is touted
by Apple as a great tool to use to check
out the web, but it is unable to support
Flash or Java. Still, it is awesome to
check out clips off of YouTube wherever
you go.
Buy a gel skin. The gadget can be probable to survive a hurricane but that doesn't
mean it still shouldn't have some snazzy
protection to prevent those inevitable
h h h b b i h m b b drops. Check out
gelaskins.com for
some stylish skins
that are both artsy
and fun. Skins are
available for older
models too.
Pause a song or
adjust the volume
while locked. This

to be looked at as
a drawback to the more traditional iPod
owners who are accustomed to a click
wheel for volume control. Simply double-tap the home button and the volume
control, back, next, and pause/play controls will come to your screen.
Don't like the icons? Well change
them. It's hard tofixwhat already seems
to look so good. The Playlists, Artists,
Songs, Albums and More buttons can be
customized to look anyway you like.
Just what Grandpa wanted. The design
means more to younger folks than to
the tech-impaired. With intentions of
bridging the technological gap, the user
friendly navigation, gorgeous visuals,
and bright menus are fused so that grandparents can rock out to their great rock
and roll icons.

For students who take lecture notes on
laptops, the standard word processor may
provide adequate capabilities for simply
maintaining its namesake: word processing.
While there are numerous web-based
solutions that aid in the process of organizing and maintaining notes and documents,
such as Google Docs, but none stand out
more than Backpack.
Backpack, which can be found at backpackit.com, provides one of the most comprehensive ways to stay organized on the
web. The note taking functionality of
Backpack is merely an attribute to the host
of features offered in the Backpack Suite.
Backpack takes an innovative approach
to organization, utilizing the basic design
principles of a standard personal website,
while offering users effortless data entry
under five categories; list, note, file, picture, or writeboard.
After registration, users are prompted
to create a new page. I would recommend creating a page for each class,
this is the most efficient method
for applying the service to a
scholastic setting, though
creating pages by topic
may also be efficient
depending on the user's
needs.
After naming the page, users can enter
a brief summary that can include anything
from teacher contacts, to the main points
of the course.
Backpack offers a great to-do list fea-
ture that allows users to create tasks, and
check them off wheç complete.
The note taking functionality of Backpack is simple and effective. Users simply

in the text box below. Notes are organized
by date.
Using a simple upload form, users can
add files to the page as well. Files could
include the course syllabus, or other course
content documents.
Backpack's reminder feature is a
small and sometimes unnoticed element that allows users to create email
reminders for events that range from
"later today" to "next year." The
Reminder functionality also strikes a
chord with Macintosh users by its ability to subscribe to reminders through
Apple's iCal software.
Users can also share pages with other
users, thus making group studying convenient for everyone.
Backpack is an extremely diverse service, offering thousands of other uses,
including: planning an event, listing
items for sale, organizing and preparing
for a meeting, and planning a trip.
Backpack offers seemingly endless
opportunities for users to organize

their lives with technology. From
taking notes, to creating lists,
to planning events, Backpack is at the front

reports all but the Witch, Harris,
and Poomacha fires are 100%
contained.
Cal State San Marcos and
nearby residents felt the heat in
a close encounter with the shortlived Coronado Hills Fire. Many
students living near campus
awoke early Monday morning to
the sight offlamesand the sound
of sirens on South Twin Oaks
Valley Road. Only claiming
300 acres, fire fighters quickly
snuffed out the Coronado Hills
fire by late Monday afternoon,
lifting mandatory evacuations
for residences near CSUSM and
San Elijo Hills. The proximity of
the fire coupled with extremely
poor air quality forced CSUSM
to close its doors for the remainder of the week. Classes resumed
on Monday, Oct. 29.
The latest figures place the
number of people in Southern
California displaced by the firestemporarily or permanently-at
950,000. Residents of San Diego
County account for roughly
640,000 of those the fire displaced.
Devastation of the scale caused
by these fires has evoked comparisons to Hurricane Katrina,
the last major disaster to draw
national attention of the same caliber given to Southern California
over the past week. San Diego
County Sheriff Bill Kolender
said the number of victims evacuated as a result of thesefireshas
exceeded the number of victims
evacuated from New Orleans
during Hurricane Katrina.
Early on Sheriff Kolender
predicted, "This fire will probably be the worst this county has
ever seen-worse than the Cedar
Fire," prophetic words that would
resound through much of the
week. Whether or not the cumulative damage of these fires in
San Diego County exceeds that
of the Cedar Fire remains to be
seen.

�CSUSM shaken by evacuation, losses
Many have returned home, but some were not so lucky
BY VIRIDIANA
PACHECO-JSAAC
Pride Staff Writer
When CSUSM student, Zenia
Zambrano, woke up early last
Monday morning, she did not
expect n6r understand the commotion happening outside her
San Marcos apartment. She had
been woken up by one of her
roommates who told her to look
outside—she could not believe
her eyes.
What she saw foreshadowed
the long week ahead for many
San Diego residents who had to
evacuate their homes—many to
never see them again—due to the
many fires that threatened and
took much of San Diego County.
"The first thing I saw was a guy
outside my roommate's window,"
said Zambrano. "He kept yell-
ing, 'Don't worry about it, just
get out.' One of my roommates
thought she saw one of the apartments burning down and as soon
as we stepped outside we saw all
the cars trying to leave"
Zambrano is one of many students living at Prominence Community right next to campus. The
Apartment community holds
more than 550 apartments with
more students than families or
elderly living there, said Thomas
Peterson, Leasing Agent at Prominence.
"[Between] late Sunday and
early Monday we witnessed a
fire on the hillside in back of the
complex," said Peterson. "It was
not a major threat, but just to be
on the safe side we started to tell
people."
Peterson said the evacuation was not mandatory, but the
majority of people who decided
to evacuate left Monday around 2
a.m., although some stayed until
Wednesday, and some decided to
stay.
The apartment community
counts on 24-hour security, which
was responsible for knocking on
doors and informing people, as
well as monitoring how close the
fires got, he said.
Zambrano and her roommates,
like many residents there,fledthe
apparent danger and found shelter at a friend's home in the area.
"I had no idea what was going
on," she said. "Everyone was
honking their horns because I
guess there was no time to call
everyone because there are so
many apartments. In that moment
I just grabbed whatever I could.
I took shoes and stuff for work,
as well as my purse which at that
time had my credit cards and
birth certificate."
She said she started trying to
exit the gate community but was
afraid they were not going to be
able to get out. Once out and on
the road she saw the fires burning
on Coronado Hill up closer.
"I saw the fires from my car,
where you could see a view of the
campus and the apartments," she
said. "It looked like lava coming
down."
While Peterson stressed the
traffic trying to leave was not
chaotic— the complex has the
front exit as well as an emergency
exit through the back—the worst
of the rush was early Monday
morning. He said the fire was put
out quite rapidly, and by the end
of the week people began returning to their homes.
But not everyone was so fortunate.

�OPINION
THE PRIDE
Students affected by the fires: From Nick Strizver, Pride layout editor
I was at CSUSM working on
designing the latest issue of The
Pride when I was called by my
brother at around 2:00 p.m. on
Sunday afternoon. He was the
first to tell me of the Witch / 78
fire that was at that time burning in between Santa Ysabel. I
decided to leave school and go
back to my house on the western edge of the Ramona city
limit.
Driving to the Pomerado Road
exit on the 1-15, I was met with
a wall of thick smoke blowing
westward. Reaching my house,
I quickly went to work clearing
additional brush and other vegetation around our house. After
we did as much as we could do,
I returned to school after telling
my dad to call me if I needed to
come back home.
After reaching school around
7:30 p.m. and working about 30
or 40 minutes, I received another
call from my dad, calling me back
home. As I drove south along the
1-15 by the North County Fair
mall, I could see the flames off in
the east. By the t ime! got home,
my mom was already gathering photo albums and other irreplaceable items. I went through
my room, gathering only three
days worth of clothes, pictures,
childhood mementos and not
much else. By 11:00 p.m. we left
our house in three vehicles. My
dad stayed behind with our last
vehicle, despite our attempts to
convince him to leave. We took
Highland Valley Road going west
towards Escondido / Rancho Bernardo. With traffic, it took about
20 minutes to get to Pomerado
Road when normally it takes only
10 minutes.
Just before Pomerado Road,
we encountered an overturned
motor-home, blocking part of
the road. We went to my brother's fiancée's house in Poway off
of Espola Road. We were there
only minutes before the power
temporarily shut off. Taking into
account the smoke, extreme wind
Church's Influence on Sports
The Good, the Bad and the Worse
BY DAVID CHURCH
Pride Staff Writer
After a week of sitting on
my butt watching Fire Storm
2007 and working everyday at
Island's caring to those looking
for a brief escape. It is time to
talk about the good the bad and
the worse in sports this week. .
First we will talk about the
good. The number one story
around the United States this
week was the fires in California. But with hundreds of thousands being forced to evacuate
their homes and businesses, San
Diego residents were able to find
shelter at Qualcomm Stadium.
Now with thefiresstill pushing some residents to remain
evacuated and others losing
everything, San Diego is being
forced to move on once again.
And the first step to moving
forward was the decision by
mayor Jerry Sanders to allow
the Chargers to play their home
game in San Diego. Now San
Diego will be showing to the
world how strong of a community we are as the Chargers
will be one of the many healing processes for the commu-
nity as a whole.
While all this was going on
here at home, the World Series
was underway and it was bad.
Game one was a blow out. A
13-1 victory for the Boston
Red Sox was the last thing that
I wanted to watch. The Red
Sox just proved to that Red
Sox Nation that they are the
real thing, which is really bad
as they can now rule the league
as they dominated teams all
season long and have done so
again this postseason.
Now the Red Sox are making
their stand and will more than
likely win their second title of
this century, which will be one
more than the Yankees who
last won a championship in
2000. But with the tides turning in favor of the Red Sox, it
is only a matter of time before
the Yankees go and buy young
talent instead of the washed up
team they are putting on the
field now.
The first step is resigning
A-Rod for $40 million a year
as he is going to be keep the
price of YES network in near
a billion instead of half that
without him.
Finally there is the ugly. And
there is nothing uglier than
Kobe Bryant and his "trade
demand". Here is the problem with this situation. Kobe
Bryant is desperate to leave
LA after he requested that the
Lakers "make a move or trade
me" remarks at the beginning
of the summer.
Now Kobe isfindinghimself
in a tough situation as he will
need to make a decision. He
wants to leave the second biggest basketball market or will
he do the right thing and stay
with the Lakers and play out
his contract and when the time
comes he can do what A-Rod
is doing and opt out of his contract for more money.
But for the time being, Kobe
needs Jerry Buss the same way
Buss needs Kobe. But with the
Lakers developing young players instead of getting key marquee players to support Kobe, it
is no wonder why Kobe wants
out of the Lakers organization.
He wants to win.

edu.
and possible power failure, we
decided to move again. We settled down shortly after midnight
near CSUSM off of Rancho Santa
Fe Road. I stayed up for another
two hours listening the the news
on the radio and on TV and calling my dad, continually asking
him to leave our house.
Around 2:00 a.m. on Monday
morning, I heard of an unconfirmed report of a fire near Twin
Oaks Valley Road. Driving
north on Rancho Santa Fe Road,
I caught sight of the flames just
after passing San Marcos Boulevard. During the rest of the
night, I checked up on the fire
several times, heard that my dad
got out safely and slept about two
or three hours. In the morning,
we moved from San Marcos to
Lemon grove. Later the day we
heard that our house was gone by
word of our neighbor who stayed
in the neighborhood and weathered out the storm in a concrete
bunker he had previously built.
Currently we are still staying in
Lemon Grove. Some advice that
has already been said: If you are
in danger err on the side of caution and don't wait until it is too
late. Possessions can be replaced
whereas your or your loved ones
live's can't. Stay safe and my and
my family's thoughts and prayers
are with you all.

Gone are the days of going to the store
to rent movies. Seeing as DVD's are
much more manageable than video cassettes, it was only a matter of time before
someone realized you could put them in

Now, instead of having to go to the
store for movies, through the services
offered by different providers, you can
get DVD's right in your mail. I had both

Fall is in the air. When the sun starts
setting earlier and grocery stores begin
stocking up on candy and costumes for
Halloween I feel the urge to make caramel apples and carve pumpkins.
In the spirit of Autumn" I thought that
I would sample Pumpkin Ale to experience all the flavors of Fall. One option
available for the seasonal sensation is
Buffalo Bill's Brewery's Pumpkin Ale.
The ale is brewed with baked and
roasted pumpkins combined with spices
such as nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves.
Some other pumpkin brewers include
Post Road, Smuttynose, The Shipyard,
Dogfish Head, and Blue Moon.
The
tradition
of
brewing
pumpkin ales goes back to colonial
America. According to money.cnn.
com the native pumpkin was chosen
as an alternative to British barley and
hops. The result was a uniquely Americanflavoredbeer.
As I taste the ale the pumpkin flavor
seeps slowing into my conscious and
leaves a spicy taste lingering. A cool
and refreshing beverage paired well
with any squash or pumpkin-carving
event.
For those of you who love pumpkins
as much as I do I am sure that this will
be something to look forward to every
October. For the rest of
you - give it a try and
you may find something you like about
pumpkins.

It's rare to find the combination of
great Japanese food and great prices.
The best places to get the most bang for
your spicy tuna roll are the mom 'n pop
restaurants.
Not too far from campus is a Japanese
restaurant that is tiny in square footage,
but can fill a large appetite. Boo & Mee
Cafe, located northwest of San Marcos
Boulevard and Bent Ave, offers a variety
of quality Japanese dishes for moderate
prices.
Sushi is a true testament to the notion
that 'you get what you pay for,' and when
you see a roll of sushi priced anywhere
from 75 cents to $1.99, you can't help but
get suspicious. Keeping with the thought
that price reflects quality, for college students looking to step outside of the California roll but unwilling to empty their
wallets, Boo & Mee just might be the
ideal situation.
With a menu consisting of Japanese specialties such as udon, yakisoba, curry, of
course sushi, tempura and more, you won't
find yourself looking for something that
isn't on the menu. Boo & Mee offers rolls
of sushi ranging from $2.90 to 9 dollars,
offering the standard rolls of tuna, yellowtail, eel and more. They also offer their
own specialties such as the Baja California roll, which is a California roll topped in
crab and spicy sauce.
The restaurant also offers a "pick two
combo," where you can choose two dishes
from a variety of tempura, teriyaki, sushi,
stir f ry and deep fry, for under 6 dollars.
These dishes can fill the average appetite,
but for the truly hungry, I'd recommend
ordering a roll of sushi in addition.
Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride
As for the environment of the restaurant, you won't find any fancy paintings
on the wall, nor are there golden chop
sticks to get your hands on, but don't
think that will offset your appetite. With a
TV on each end of the restaurant playing
The Food Network, along with a random
swordfish nailed to the northeast corner
of the place, you'll be entertained as your
taste buds await your meal.
The restaurant from the customer's
perspective is a one-man-show, with the
sushi chef also acting as host, server and
bus boy; the true signs of a mom 'n pop
restaurant.
From sushi to tempura to fried oysters,
Boo & Mee offers a little more than what
you pay for, and what the restaurant lacks
in fanciness, i t certainly makes up in food
quality;

NDERGRO HIPHOP
By Toria Savey I Pride Staff Writer
Spoken word hip-hop collective
Ill-Literacy comes to campus
There are places that are alive with music.
People perform on street corners and beats
rise out of potholes and drift out of clubs
and coffeehouses. Or any place with a roof,
a door and a microphone. Those who look
hard enough agree that San Diego is one
of these locales, with lyrics embedded in
its very blueprint, but on Friday night, one
didn't have to go into the city to seek the
energy. The music came directly to CSU
San Marcos.
The CSUSM Arts and Lectures Series
in conjunction with campus' Kamalayan
Alliance (KA) brought spoken-word hiphop collective Ill-Literacy to campus: And
Ill-Literacy brought songs that were relatable, hilarious and tragic; an entire world.
The evening opened with Irene Castruita, a former member of San Diego's own
Los Able Minded Poets, another spoken
word collective. Her introduction to her
pieces, stating, "I don't call it spoken word,
I call it spoken soul because we express
our souls," may have made some mem-
bers of the audience roll their eyes. However, when minutes seemed to fly as she
covered topics like war, truth, poverty and
beauty with a mixture of poetry, beats and
a cappella singing, skepticism was quickly
replace with fascination; Castruita was, in
her own words, "singing songs in the key
of life."
Up next, it was time for the main act.
After being announced and welcomed by
a member of KA, Ill-Literacy took the
stage. The welcome by the KA, while
proper, may have been somewhat unnecessary. The group is made of four members who would own the stage whether it
was offered to them or not. Reminiscent of
many concerts, a single member was sent
out to warm up the audience. Slowly, each
member of the group came on stage, performing a segment of the opening number,
and asking the audience to come with them
on a "journey".
While there were all sort of influences
for the various songs, most involved some
form of societal commentary. Ruby Veridiano-Ching called for a return to chivalry
and a realizing of one's inner beauty. Adriel
Luis, in addition to having the dubious job
of being the first one on stage, performed
an a mazing piece from the point of view
of self-hatred. "Stop trying to find me in
everyone else, and maybe, just maybe you
can find me in yourself," he spat as he literally jumped around the stage. Dahlak
Brathwaite, offered some of the most scathing commentary, beginning his time on
stage by announcing that "the club looks
nothing like the Yin Yang Twins says it
does." Perhaps some of the most powerful
moments on stage were during his tonguein-cheek explanation of the usage and ownership of the word "nigga" and its relationship to oppression. Two of the pieces that
brought the most laughter and empathy
from the audience though came from Nico
Cary, the first a "f*ck you list", including
everything from conservative politicians
to people who had Lunchables and never
Keep your ear to the ground
Hip-hop albums
Have you recently heard someone use the word "participle" while rapping? A verbalflowstrong enough
that it defies the separations of verses and choruses? If not, maybe it's time for a little less 50 Cent and a
little more Jurassic 5 in your record collection. Welcome to underground hip hop and spoken word. The
same beat you love from mainstream hip hop, but the bar for innovation is set significantly higher. Here's
a few discs, out of millions of possibilities, to expand your musical knowledge.
Gil Scott-Heron
The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
One of the original beat poets, Scott-Heron was talking about the
harsh hopelessness of the ghetto before the word "rap" had even
hit social consciousness. The album is from the 1970s, and it
sounds like it. The messages contained in it however are ageless,
particularly "Whitey on the Moon", about poverty in the ghetto in
comparison to the millions spent to put a man on the moon
Jurassic Five
Power In Numbers
Jurassic 5 has definitely moved further towards the mainstream
in the years they've been together. The group's sophomore album
will take you far from the land of LiP Jon, while still maintaining
the contagious beats that draw people to hip hop in the first place.
Start with track 7, What's Golden, to have your faith restored in
the verbal ability of emcees (the group has 4, and 2 DJs). Jurassic
5 is "sick ofphony mobsters, controlling the dancefloor",and
after hearing what hip hop SHOULD sound like, you will be, too.
Mos Def & Talib Kweli
Black Star
The group is composed of Mos Def and Talib Kweli, who each
have plenty of albums that could have been included in this list.
When the two are combined, they create Black Star, and some
ground-breaking rap, more concerned with the state of culture
than booty calls. Check out "Thieves in the Night": Not strong,
only aggressive, 'cause the power ain t directed/ That 2? why, we
are subjected to the will of the oppressive.
shared. The second was about his desire to
be a revolutionary, but being too bombarded
by different types of "revolution" recruiters
on the campus of UC Berkeley to decide on
a cause, and mocking the inability of each
group tofindcommon ground.
At the beginning, Adriel announced IllLiteracy's intent to "reawaken a culture".
They spoke to the audience, provoking
everything from uncontrollable laughter to
shouted agreement during statements about
society's stumbling blocks. A throw back to
beat poets and early DJs more than the violent "gangsta" rap that's become popular,
the group showcased hip hop at its finest,
exhibiting unbelievable word flow without
a single gang shout out or misogynistic reference. Looking around at an auditorium
full of wide eyed people hanging on the
group's every word, it would seem that IllLiteracy's goal is Well on its way to becoming reality. On Friday night, even if only for
a moment, CSU San Marcos was not only
awakened, but ignited.
Speaking with
spoken words
Ill-Literacy interview
One of the main appeals of
Ill-Literacy, in comparison to
others in the field of spoken
word and hip hop, may be their
accessibility, with audience
members coming up to them
after the show and interacting
like long-lost friends. When the
flock thinned a little, the Pride
had a chance to ask the group a
few quick questions. As gleaned
from their interaction on stage,
the members of Ill-Literacy
are friends as much as they're
band mates. There was constant laughter, as they gave the
same answers and finished each
others' sentences.
Dahlek: Yeah, we get,
what would you say, like
withdrawals. Without each
other.
What's the smallest show
you've ever played?
Adriel: Man, I think like 6.
Probably 6.
So would you rather play for
six or 1,000?
D: Depends. If you get all 6 of
those people in, it could be your
best show ever.
What do you guys do after

Protests on campus erupted
as students sought to give voice
to ongoing issues they feel
are being ignored by CSUSM
administrators and staff.
Student Claude Sayf rallied a
group of students on November
9 who were upset about remarks
university spokesperson Paige
Jennings made regarding the
arrest of Jason Williams and
larger issues of racial profiling.
Jennings is quoted in the
November 5 edition of the
North County Times saying,

Aid woes
Problems getting
financial assistance
plague some students
BY HEATHER HOFFMANN
Pride Staff Writer
Students joined together to have their
voices heard when they marched to CSUSM
President Karen Haynes' office on November 10, and remained there until they could
see the president. Approximately 24 students waited in the boardroom adjacent
to the president's office and when Haynes
arrived the group presented her with a letter
expressing their concerns.
The letter was presented to Haynes by
Progressive Activist Network (PAN) President, Julie Bennington, and it expressed
frustration regarding Haynes' inaccessibility and lack of support for students.
Students chose to stand quietly around the
President Haynes listens to student
concerns.
VOL. XII NO. 12
As if juggling school, work, homework, and family isn't hard enough,
many CSUSM students also worry
how they'll pay for tuition next
semester.
The financial aid office in Craven
Hall 4204 is set up to help students
getfinancialassistance, but for some
students it actually provides more
headaches than money.
Financial aid paperwork is extensive and once it's complete there is
no guarantee financial aid will be
provided.
If a student is granted financial
aid there is no guarantee the funding
will sustain them until graduation.
"I was supposed to graduate next
December. A month ago I got a letter
from Cal Grant saying this was my
last year on financial aid," said student Diane Gallego.
Gallego, taking 12 units each
semester, has made the dean's list
while working part time to support
her family. In terms of completed
units, she currently stands somewhere between a junior and a senior.
The Cal Grant is only good for four
years, but Gallago has about another
year until graduation.
"I don't know what I'm going to
do next semester," said Gallago.
Augusta Fruzyna has a different problem with financial aid. She
takes advantage of a veteran's grant,
however she lost her grant because
she made too much money at work.
"It's a lose/win situation. I don't
make enough money to live comfortably, but then if I make enough

Campus groups gather for peace
BY HEATHER HOFFMANN
Pride Staff Writer
Peace was celebrated at CSUSM—in spite
of several obstacles—when PAN and the College Democrats hosted the first annual Peace
Picnic on the lawn in front of the library on
November 10.
Student groups such as, College Democrats,
PAN, Woman's Studies Student Association
(WSSA), Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender Alliance (L.G.B.T), and the College
Republicans.all set up tables at the eVent àlòng
with community groups such as Code Pink
and San Diego Coalition of Peace and Justice
to provide students with more information on
ways to promote peace. The groups also provided speakers.
"The picnic was an effort to embrace peace
and equality in our diversity," said Sarah Leonard of PAN. "Between the protest and the election we felt the campus was really divided and
there wasn't a welcoming of diverse opinions.
We wanted to do something where everyone

The letter also addressed
students' concerns about the
forum held regarding policing practices on campus held
on November 4, which Haynes
was scheduled to attend.
Haynes stated that the "circumstances of the forum
President Haynes
changed" switching from
a forum, to a discussion of
an "incident-specific event"
and that is why she could not
attend.
The students said that
Haynes' staff gave them several contradictory reasons why
Haynes wasn't there. They
said that someone representing
Haynes should have attended.
"If you support my experience, then you need to listen to
my experience and that is not
what's happening," said Honey

"My concerns are to be concerned about the issues and

addressed was that students
have a hard time successfully
booking appointments with
the President.
"Students realize that we
don't have to sit back and
take it. We don't have to wait
around for her to decide it's a
good time to meet," said Bennington. "We have valid questions."
The students and Haynes
discussed several ways to fix
the problem, one of which was
a form students can fill out to
help schedule meetings more
effectively. The students and
the Haynes agreed to have a
meeting about how to meet,
and then to meet on the issues.
When the discussion was finished Haynes thanked everyone for sharing before leaving
for another appointment.
"I think what we had to say
was effective in that we were
heard, but not so effective in
the sense that we didn't get
a good answer" said Bennington. "We will definitely follow up."

I don't get funded for school," said Fruzyna.
Having over 300 veterans that attend
CSUSM, and many more eligible for veterans' grants through family members,
Fruzyna isn't the only one who struggles
to balance personal income and qualifying for government aid.
Student Elsie Solis is frustrated with
the process. Despite being financially
independent of her family, she still finds
it difficult to get grants.
"I signed up early but still didn't get
the grant because my parents made too
much money. But I'm 23 and I'm not a
part of [dependent on] them anymore.
But they (financial aid) said until your
24 you're still a part of [dependent on]
them," said Solis.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) considers students
dependants of their families until they
are 24, or married, or are working on
their masters/doctoral, or they have a
child that they support.
"It's not something we get kicks out
of either, it's a Congress thing. Write to
your Congress. They feel it's the family's
responsibility until the student is that
specific age," said Cynthia Silman of the
financial aid office in response to Solis'
concerns.
"If a student feels they have special
circumstances to their dependency level
they can check on the dependency override," said Silman.
Dependency override is determined at
the campus level.
"We need to look at the specific situation. There are only a few grants and
scholarships that are specifically four
years," said Silman in response to student concerns about four-year loans.
Solis said that loans are readily available, citing the fact that the government
gives CSUSM students about, "$22 million a year in loans."
More information about loans, grants
or other financial aid can be found at the
Financial Aid Office website at: http://
www.csusm.edu/finaid/ or at the FAFSA
website: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/.
ing about how there is no racial profiling
going on," said Sayf.
"Yes they quoted me. The comment
I made was that according to the police
officers I talked with, this was not a case
of racial profiling," Jennings said to the
group.
Student Honey Folk asked Jennings if
the university was asking the newspaper
to run a correction.
In response, Jennings said that she
wasn't misquoted.
"It was part of a quote. I did say yes,
this was not...," said Jennings stopping
mid-sentence.
After a brief pause, Jennings reiterated that her quote was based on information she received from the Cal State San
Marcos Police Department.
"The President [Haynes] sent out an
email saying we should not make judgments about what happened without all
the information. You represented to the
Spring

i n progress

newspaper that there is no problem here.
That is not true," said Sayf.
According to Sayf, who compared student demographic information obtained
from the CSUSM website along with
demographic arrest information obtained
from the CSUSM Police Department
website, "twice the percentage of black
and twice the percentage of Latinos" were
arrested by Campus Police than the percentage of these students on campus.
CSUSM Director of Communications
Rick Moore said that comparing arrest
and demographic data doesn't account for
"a lot of people who come to campus that
are not students."
Several students said that campus visitors were not numerous enough to account
for the statistics.
"The people who read the story are now
getting the impression that his [Williams]
race did not enter into the picture, and we
know that to be false," said Folk.
"And let the record show brothers and
sisters, we will not stand for it any longer,"
added Sayf.
The group left Jennings office.
Outside of Craven Hall Sayf said,
"There is only one way we can all make a
difference and that's together."
On November 11 a group of students
gathered in ACD 402 to write letters to
CSUSM Police Chief Tom Schultheis
demanding an investigation into campus
police practices, and that charges against
Jason Williams be dropped.
Shortly after noon some 30 students
marched from the classroom to the police
department to deliver the letters chanting, "Investigate the campus police. Stop
the harassment. Bring the peace," briefly
along the way. The marchers gathered
single-file outside the police department
and delivered their letters one-by-one to
police dispatcher John Frawley who said
he would niake sure the chief got them.

could come."
The picnic was originally scheduled to
happen before the election, but because
organizers invited congressional candidates to speak, it was seen as political and
too high risk. Risk management asked
the student organizations to obtain special
event insurance (at a cost of about $400)
which they attempted to get, but were
denied because the event was seen as high
risk. The administration then gave the
organizers another option; hire a campus
police officer to guard the event.
"Walls-were put up in front of us when
we tried to plan this event," said Mark
Web of the College Democrats.
"The administration is doing the students on this campus a disservice when
they try to stop student originations from
trying to have a platform to discuss different ideas."
"It sends a message to the students when
we have to have a police officer with a gun
at our peace picnic," said Sarah Leonard.
Rain also delayed the event but Thursday the weather cooperated and the picnic
went on as planned.
There was BBQ to feed hungry students
and plenty of guest speakers all spreading
the same message: peace.
"This is unbelievable, awesome. I am
so excited to see our little university doing

something," said Communication major
Brandi Feston. "I wish more people were
here, this event really opens your eyes."
Francine Busby, former congressional
candidate, spoke about peace and gave
students ideas on how they could become
peacemakers.
"Each one of us is a peacemaker, and
each one of us has to smile at someone
everyday.. .peace is something we have to
work for," said Busby.
Communication major Jason Williams
shared a personal story and then told
students, "We are not here to be closedminded individuals...we as students have
the power to change the country."
Executive Director of the College
Republicans, Nick Bonomi, offered a different perspective when he spoke on peace
as a Republican
JZju^^
"The Republican party fights for peace
too," he said "they just don't go about it
the way you do."
Members of the International Club
spoke and read definitions of peace from
around the world.
"Peace is to live in harmony among differences," read the definition from Argentina.
A1 Howard from the K23 orchestra
preformed spoken word poetry, and Julie
Bennington, PAN's President, sang a song
she wrote.
"I feel learning is just not enough,
learning about peace is a great start, but
what are we going to do after that," said
Heidi Doyle of WSSA. "I am grateful for
PAN and WSSA for getting students to be
activists."

�The cycle of recycling
The journey of recycled bottles and how they
are utilized
BY PHOENIX LINDGREN
Pride Staff Writer
Did you ever wonder what happens to
your empty plastic water bottle after you
shove it through the black rubber slot in
the campus recycling bin? Turns out your
water bottle is headed for one hell of a
journey.
The journey begins when CSUSM's
Blue Team is responsible for emptying
and sorting of the campus recycling bins.
According to the CSIJSM Recycling Green
Team's Mui Sullivan, "Blue Team members (from CSUSM's facilities department) haul the larger wheeled bins to the
recycling sorting area located behind the
Science II building."
The Blue Team corrects any errors students might make while recycling—such
as accidentally putting a glass bottle into
the plastic recycling bin, or vice v e r s a removing garbage from the recycling containers and preparing the recyclables for
pick up by EDCO whenever the bins are
filled.
"EDCO is on an on-call basis," said
Sullivan. "Since the campus population
varies throughout the year, it makes more
sense for us than having a regular pick up
schedule."
When asked if trash in the recycling
bins was a big problem for the Blue Team,
Sullivan didn't think so.
"Once in a while we find a napkin or
something in a recycling bin, but I think
the percentage of garbage found in the
recycling bins is very small," said Sulli-
van.
EDCO hauls the recyclables to its
Escondido sorting facility, where plastic
bottles are separated from the aluminum,
and each other.
EDCO spokesperson George Peterson
said, "Each bin picked up from CSUSM is
spread across a large conveyor belt where
it is manually sorted."
Each type of plastic follows a different
path to be recycled: PET from water bottles will be remanufactured into assorted
polyester products such as fiberfill, clothing, carpet, and HDPE from milk jugs will
become plastic lumber products, recycling
and compost bins.
EDCO compresses the PET plastic
water and soda bottles into pallet-size bundles, which are sold on the open market to
manufacturers like Mohawk Industries in
Summerville, Georgia.
Mohawk spokesperson Roone Gable
was proud of his company's achievements
in PET plastic recycling.
"Mohawk Industries is the world's largest floor covering company, and our polyester division is the largest user of postconsumer recycled PET plastics in the
world," said Gable. Gable went on to say
that Mohawk uses 220 million pounds of
post-consumer recycled PET plastic per
year. "It takes fifteen bottles to make one
pound of carpet; you can imagine how
many billions of bottles we're responsible
for recycling each year," Gable continued.
When asked whether Mohawk was able
to acquire as many recyclable bottles as
needed, Gable was pensive. "There is defi- i
Photo illustrations by Jason Encabo / The Pride
nitely a greater demand than supply, which
is going to make continuing the manufacture of products like ours difficult; prices
for post-consumer recycled PET plastic
are at the high end right now," Gable said.
Currently US consumers recycle approximately 36 percent of PET plastic beverage
containers.
Thefinalstop for thisincarnation of your
plastic water bottle may be the carpet under
your feet. San Marcos carpet retailer West
Coast Flooring sells all of Mohawk Industries 100 percent post-consumer recycled
PET plastic polyester carpets, which can
be ordered through their showroom.
According to the EPA, carpets made of
recycled PET plastic tend to be more stainresistant than other fibers.
If you thought your plastic water bottle
came back as a plastic water bottle, you're
not alone. In fact plastic water bottles can't
be made from plastic water bottles. It's too
costly to disinfect the plastic for that purpose; Coca-Cola tried for two years and it
wasn't cost effective.
So next time you shove your bottle
through that rubber slot, be nice. Your
bottle has a long, long way to go.

If students don't know where to start
looking for an internship that fulfills
their needs, not a problem - students can
receive assistance from Career and Transfer Student Services (CATSS), located at
Craven 4201, in obtaining information and
direction of finding the proper internship
relevant to a student's field of interest,
"If you need help, a career counselor
will gladly help students get situated with
information and explore how to go about
various avenues in finding the proper
internship," said Brenda Dumas, CATSS
employer relations coordinator,
Current and past students of CSUSM
agree that internships give them an advantage over graduates or students looking for
a job.
"There is nothing like hands-on experience and applying what I have learned
at CSUSM with real life situations," said
Teri Renner, human development senior.
"Plus an internship looks fantastic on your
resume."
Randi Delenela, CSUSM sociology
alumnus said, "On my quest for looking
for a job, all employers that I have talked
to want information on my experience. So
I tell them about my duties and responsibilities at my internship. So far, the results
of my job hunt look promising."
The only down side of taking on an
internship is that students have to work
a minimum of 15 hours a week and the
internship must be non-paid to receive
academic credit. Yet, after it is all said and
done, the attractiveness of an internship
may give students that extra umph needed
to impress employers.

�Jock Talk With Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
I don't get
it. Maybe you
can explain it
to me, but why
is
everyone
always trying
to be something
they aren't? I
run into people
everyday
of
my life pretending to be someone else. There is nothing more
annoying in my eyes than when
people kid themselves into being
someone they aren't.
Athletes have spent years
trying to perfect their game yet
for some reason they think they
can start rapping or acting on the
drop of a basketball.
I finally lost my sanity with
these wannabe American Idol's
when I heard that Ron Artest of
the Indiana Pacers just made a
rap album and now he is out pro-
moting it for its November 23
release. Artest has become so
consumed with the promotion
of his album that he has caused
himself extreme exhaustion. He
has been so exhausted that he
requested a month off from the
team so he could rest up.
When I heard the news of his
request I thought to myself, "Who
does this guy think he is?" I mean
the NBA season just started and
he wants to take time off from his
job that he has for only 7 months
out of the year so that he can go
participate in an extra curricular
activity.
The Pacers head coach Rick
Carlisle didn't take to kindly to
the request of Artest and Carlisle
benched Artest for 2 games and
told him he had to come back and
play after the punishment.
As I use my magical sports
mind and look into the future I
can tell you right now that none
of his songs will be Grammy
worthy because there is a reason
why he shoots baskets and not
flows. I mean how many athletes
have platinum selling records?
He won't be the first athlete to
be a bust when trying a ng
ture. I am sure you

�My name is Karen
Hovland and I am an
associate archaeologist for
a small cultural resource
management firm in San
Diego County. I am also
a student here at Cal
State San Marcos on the
brink of graduating with
my bachelor's degree
in History, specifically
American History with an
emphasis on the American
Indian experience. I am
not of Native blood; in
fact, I am of Irish, English,
German, and Norwegian
descent. I attended Palomar
College after high school to
pursue a career in fashion
design. The classes I
wanted were unavailable
and so on a whim I took
a class in archaeology
and a class in American
Indian studies. My life,
who I am today and who
I will become, began that
semester. While working
toward my associate's
degree in archaeology^ met
many wonderful people of
American Indian descent.
They were kind enough
to share their experiences,
beliefs, opinions, and
laughter with me, giving me
a perspective of the Native
American community that
could never be gleaned
from the pages of academia.
Upon transferring to Cal
State San Marcos, I heard
of the American Indian
Student Alliance (AISA).
I met some students who
were members of this club
in one of my American
Indian History classes and
thought that it would be
interesting t a join and meet
people of American Indian
descent who were my own
age so that we could discuss
contemporary Indian issues.
I thought that maybe I could
help bridge the gap between
archaeologists and Native
Americans by answering
questions that they may have
had regarding archaeology,
and by asking questions
regarding their feelings of
archaeology. The gift I
received by joining AISA
was much more than I could
have ever realized.
I was honored to assist in the
hosting of the Cal State San
Marcos Tukwut Powwow
for two years, an event that
was hosted by AISA in
association with CSUSM
faculty and staff for 11 years.
A powwow is a traditional
gathering of people from
many diverse American
Indian nations to celebrate
life and pray for the sick or
the deceased. Drum groups
and bird singers give the
gift of music, dancers in
regalia dance for prayer or
for competition, modern
traditional Native American
food such as fry bread is
available for sampling, and
arts and crafts by Native
American vendors can be
purchased. The powwow
at Cal State San Marcos
was a spiritual as well as
an educational gathering.
It brought the campus
community (comprised
mostly of non-native
students, faculty, and staff)
together with the American
Indian community. The
Cal State San Marcos
powwow had become so
renowned through the years
that Native people from all
over the United States also
participated in the event.
Atfirst,I thought I would
simply help pick up trash
at the event, but mostly
just sit back and enjoy the
atmosphere of the powwow.
However, it became evident
quite quickly that this event
was one of the most difficult
campus events to host, and
a 110% participation of all
members of AISA and the
powwow committee was
vital. The bureaucratic
red-tape necessary to host
this event was enough to
drown a nuclear-powered
submarine. The cultural
intricacies needed to be
practiced in order to invite
members of the Native
American community were
intimidating and conflicted
with the bureaucratic
methods employed by the
university. There was never
enough money, there were
never enough volunteers,
and there was a lot of sweat
and a lot of tears. The stress
was nauseating.
The powwow would get
started sometime around
10 am on Saturday, the first
weekend of October, and
fingers would be crossed.
The host southern drum
group would begin to sing
blessing songs as people
of all ethnicities started to
gather on the soccer field
turned powwow arena.
Small problems would arise,
but with so many brilliant
minds gathered in one place
a solution would be found
promptly and to the liking of
all parties involved. Burning
sage and fry bread could
be smelled, smiles could
be seen, laughter could be
heard, and tears of pride
and tears for those unable to
share in this event because
of war or death could be
f elt People caught up on
each other's recent activities,
gossip was exchanged, and
American Indian culture was
taught and discussed to those
who had never experienced
a powwow before. By the
end of the weekend, the
exhausted, aching bodies of
the volunteers, the dancers,
and the vendors were of no
significance; for the hearts of
all powwow participants had
beenfilledto capacity with
beautiful memories, new
understandings, and pride.
These were the gifts that
AISA gave to me. I take
these gifts of knowledge, of
friendship and community,
of strength and pride, and
of laughter with me as
I get ready to leave this
university. I know that my
life is wealthier from the
experiences I have been
honored to share with the
members of AISA, the
members of the powwow
committees, and the
powwow participants. I
have hope that the campus
community, namely students
of both Native and nonnative descent, and the local
Native American community
will work together to
gather on campus again
for the education and the
preservation of the American
Indian experience.
A couple of weeks ago I
read something that said,
"Why do we terrorize
people to show people
that terrorizing people is
wrong?" Think about it.
Here we are as Americans,
being the huge hypocrites
we all are, justifying the
war in Iraq for our security
and for our benefit. How
nonsensical is that? To begin
with, we are going to ask
the age old question: Why
Iraq? Weren't we targeting
Osamafirst?When and
why did our attention shift
to Iraq? What gives us the
right to go and strip another
country of their weapons
if they've never possessed
a threat to us? How would
we feel if another country
came to the U.S. and started
bombing us and saying that
they were getting rid of our
weapons because we used
an ATOMIC BOMB (twice!)
in Japan? How do we justify
killing innocent women and
children just so America
remains omnipotent? How
many lives is the United
States responsible for when
we go to war and when we
use our weapons of mass
destruction? Think about this
thoroughly people... what
is really the reason for this
war? Is it really to secure
ourfreedom,well being and
our homeland security... or
is it just an excuse to have
our current President finish
off something his daddy
couldn't at Desert Storm?
Tell me once when Saddam
came to this country and
started killing us like we are
killing Iraqis. I am not siding
with Saddam here, don't
get me wrong. I am simply
trying to state the truth in
what most of us refuse to
see. If Saddam is really as
horrible as he appears to
be, aren't we Americans
just as bad? Do we not kill
people for power? Do we
not do the unthinkable to
defend what we stand for?
Did we not torture Iraqis just
for our own sick pleasure?
You all know we did. Then
why is it that we bitch and
moan when they decapitate
a soldier when we already
starved, raped, sodomized
and killed many Iraqis?
What is OUR justification?
And if we are justifying the
Iraq invasion by saying that
Saddam was a threat, well
then, isn't Fidel Castro a
threat? Isn't North Korea's
uncontested ruler Kim-Sung
a threat too? And back to
my point... why did we just
let Osama slide by? The
truth is he slid by because
we lost our "main focus"
and targeted Hussein, not
because he is a smart and
clever little man who knows
how to hide well. I mean, if
we found Saddam stashed
in a hole in the middle of
nowhere, why haven't we
found Osama since he is
constantly parading around
sending us videotapes? How
can you all sleep at night
knowing what's going on.
The worse kind of person
is the one who refuses to
see the truth. Well, then I
guess we all must be blind...
It's not a question of "God
Bless America" anymore.
That saying changed a long
time ago to "God Forgive
America."

I have always stood by
Karen Haynes side even
when I did not agree with
the way she handled certain
situations. Even while
Michael Moore ridiculed
Karen Haynes on stage I
remember telling her I still
thought she was a great
President. Face it people can
be faced with hard decisions
and sometimes they chose
the wrong path to take. BUT
I can no longer stand by her
side while she ignores the
racial profiling taken place
on our campus by our own
police! I am saddened by
the fact that a President I
stood by could be so blind
and heartless. What has been
happening on this campus is
wrong and the fact that she
can not see what injustice
practices our HORRIBLE
CAMPUS POLICE officers
are committing makes
me question her ability to
preside over this University.
I hope she makes positive
strides to fixes these
injustices that have occurred.
But then again I might be
asking for to much.

"A Christmas Story'1 that will warm your
heart
BY MICHAEL DOLAN
Pride Staff Writer
"You'll shoot your eye out.
You'll shoot your eye out."
This caveat echoes through
out the film "A Christmas
Story." The statement is the
recurring logic that places a
seemingly immovable obstacle
in the path of young Ralphie's
quest to obtain a "Genuine Red
Ryder Carbine Action Two
Hundred Shot Lighting Loader
Range Model Air Rifle" for
Christmas.
The story of Ralphie, his
dream of holding that B.B.
gun and factors that influence
his reality (his parents, his
younger brother, his friends,
the neighborhood bullies and
Santa himself) create a connection with the young as well
as the young at heart. Ralphie
reminds us that the desire for
that one g ift can build to such
fervor that the want becomes
the passion.
Ralphie is undeterred from
pursuing this gift although his
parents are unwilling to entertain it. He fails to convince
his teacher in an essay that he
is deserving of the gift. Even
Santa casts a dark cloud over
Ralphie's desire by repeating
the impeding mantra. _
Mixed in with Ralphie's
hopes are the overtones the

Where else can

The
beginning of " Elf'
has a strangely
familiar claymation feel to
it, but once you
get beyond that
it's definitely
a winner. My
favorite part of " Elf' is also (probably) the stupidest. I love the part
where Buddy goes to work with
his dad. Buddy runs around and
around in the revolving door until
he pukes (how many times have
you so wanted to do that?). And
affect some families during
the holidays: the search for a
Christmas tree, the repercussions of youth profanity and
the struggle to salvage Christmas dinner from jaws of the
neighbor's dogs.
Despite the chaos and opposition, Ralphie's dad comes
through with the gun. And,
true to the warnings, Ralphie
promptly "shoots" his eye out.
The legacy of "A Christmas
Story" is not one of personal
injury. This film represents
how the holidays, although
nostalgic, are often mired with
realities that are not so fond at
the time. From that, we can all
relate.

when Buddy (for no apparent
reason) is sitting in the corner on

a nd the
phrases
that keep
us watching
every year
BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
Instead of reviewing this
awesome film, let's just reminisce the fabulous phrases that
we enjoy every year.
"Merry Christmas! The shitter was full," said Cousin Eddie
while emptying out a septic
tank while wearing a woman's
bathrobe that barely covered
the family jewels and drinking
a beer as well.
"Hallelujah holy shit where's
the Tylenol," yells Clark Griswold after receiving his certificate to the jelly of the month
club.
"Every time Catherine turns
on the microwave, I piss my
pants and forget who I am for
a half an hour," jokes Cousin
Eddie in the living room wearing a white v-neck sweater
with a brown mock turtleneck

Pride Staff Writer
visible underneath.
"Honey, why don't you run
and get the kid's things, and
don't forget the rubber sheets
and the gerbils," said Cousin
Eddie to Catherine after turning up unexpectedly at the
Griswold's.
"It wouldn't be the Christmas season if the stores were
anymore hooter, I mean hotter
than they are...you can't see
the line, can you Russ," said
Clark trying to hit on a young
saleswoman.
And my personal favorite from the yuppie neighbors
next door, "Why is the carpet
wet Todd? I DON'T KNOW
MARGO!"
I
remember
watching
'Scrooged" in the theater with my
Mom and my sister when it first
came out. Ever since, I watch it
every year from Thanksgiving
to New Years at least 10 times.
I can honestly say "Scrooged"
is the best holiday movie ever
made. What makes this movie
a holiday classic is that it takes
a well known Christmas tale
gives it a modern spin and adds
Bill Murray as nasty Mr. Francis
Xavier Cross. Who, by the way,
has no qualms about firing an
employee and cutting the holiday
bonus for his faithful secretary,
all in the name of saving a few
bucks.
My favorite scene is with the
Ghost of Christmas Present who
is dressed like a fairy ballerina
with great big sparkly wings.
She prances around Frank with
her high pitched squeaky voice
and beats the crap out of him.
The
best
thing
about
"Scrooged" is that it teaches us
that the holiday spirit should not
come just once a year. We need
to put a little love in our hearts
throughout the whole year.

the new Santa after the current Santa accidentally falls
off of his roof. What a great
story idea! For the next 330
days after Santa kicks the
bucket, Allen totally forgets
his holiday obligation to the
entire world and goes about
his merry way. December

love watching Allen gain 100

so much weight. It must be

Potty humor for the holidays
When the holiday season comes around,
one reason I get excited is
because Ifinallyget to watch
the shows with bad words and
crude humor that have characters like "Mr. Hanky
the Christmas Poo" as
opposed to the Yogibear specials I was subjected to as a child. Now, instead of
fighting with my little brother over
who gets to light the menorah candles
or sleep on the big couch while we wait
for Santa to come, I can have fun laughing out loud watching funny shows like
"A Very Crappy Christmas."

Mr. Hanky are great because Mr. Hanky is
a walking, talking, and crapping piece of
dung. Mr. Hanky visits all of the children in
South Park, despite their religion.
In Season Four of South Park, the audience
finally gets to meet Mr. Hanky's family; his
wife who always has a martini in her hand,
and his three kids.
A Comedy Central interview with Trey
Parker and Matt Stone said that Parker created Mr. Hanky because of an old story his
mom used to tell him to increase the rate of
the potty training process. She used to try
and scare Parker by saying, "if you don't
flush the toilet Mr. Hanky will come out and
get you!"
If that doesn't put you in the holiday spirit,
I don't know what will.

Halo

BY JARED DEVORE
Pride Staff Writer
"Halo" players have been
chomping at the bit for more than
a year to play "Halo 2," and their
chance has finally arrived. When
I discovered my roommate had
plans to go to the Game Stop in
San Marcos at 12:00 a.m. Tuesday morning November 9th to pick
up his reserved copy of "Halo 2,"
I was convinced he was out of his
mind. It turns out, I was wrong.
We arrived to a line that spanned
-the entire length of the shopping
center. It was apparent the expectations for this game were enormous.
In fact, the expectations of
the gaming industry continue to
grow. This forces game creators
to pump out new games that are
incomplete or inadequate renditions of dreams. With the holidays quickly approaching, it is no
surprise that "Halo 2 " was finally
released in an attempt to reap the
benefits of the holiday economic
boom. In the defense of Bungie,
the creators of "Halo 2," the long
awaited release of the game has
paid o ff yielding a t computer

graphics masterpiece. I don't
think many people would have
been satisfied with much less.
You can now customize your
characters appearance, play with
a character from the opposition,
and rampage through enemy
forces in the warthog. Picture
your mom's Hummer with a
powerful cannon mounted on
top that decimates other vehicles
with ease. Another attack vessel
that reappears in "Halo 2 " considerably revamped is the ghost.
A combination motorcycle/hovercraft, the ghost now sports a
tuibd boost function similar .to a
nitrous oxide boost on a car. This
feature can be used effectively in
escaping dangerous life or death
situations.
The levels are more challenging and far greater in size than
the original version. The characters are more intelligent, quicker,
and pack far more heat in "Halo
2." The most important, and
exciting upgrade is the ability to
wield two weapons. Now you can
charge the opponent like Rambo
taking no prisoners.
According
to
IGN.com,
Xbox's gaming website, "every
h it of hype "Halo 2 " receives is
deserved, and once you play it,
you'll be pressed to agree." The
hype is real! "Halo 2 " picks up
right where Halo left off, adding
some interesting plot twists. The
most appealing aspect of the
game is the immense carnage
that you control. I am confident
that there is enough fire power in
"Halo 2 " to blow President Bush
right out of office. This game is
a masterful rendition of the original version. A fter playing almost
non-stop, with the exception of
the classes I was forced to attend
last week, I can honestly say, "you
may be inissing class." In fact, I
plan to call in sick to work this
weekend and continue my journey through the seemingly endless virtual worlds in an attempt
to save the human race. The fate
of mankind is in my hands; I am
sure my place of work will understand this perilous dilemma.

March 3.
Anyone with a high school
diploma or General Education

The two-day tournament, which started on February 17,2003 at the Lake San Marcos Country Club,
consisted of 15 teams competing on the on the 5,
885 yard par 72 course.
On the final day, Seguro moved up from the first
round to finish in 39th with a second round total of
164 (85-79). Thys finished 50th with a score of 167
(83-84), Shaft shot 169 (84-85) to finish 55th, while
Goss placed 63rd with 172 (84-88), and Tunzi shot
176 (83-93) to finish 72nd.
This particular tournament was held in a "shotgun" format. Instead of having different tee times
to begin their game, these golfers were assigned
different holes to start at, enabling the competing
teams to begin swinging simultaneously at the
signal of an actual shotgun.
After the opening day of the tournament, the lady
Cougar golfers placed 13th with junior Erin Thys
leading the way with a score of 83 a (43-40), senior
Jennifer Tunzi equaled her teammate's score of 83
(41-42). Creeping close-behind was sophomore
Stephanie Goss who shot 84 (42-42) along with
senior Robin Shaft's 84 (41-43). Merely two strokes
behind her was junior Stephanie Seguro, who shot a
score of 85 (43-42).
When commenting on the challenges of the
course, Seguro explained, "Lake San Marcos
[Country Club] is a very difficult course in many
ways. The greens for the tournament were very
unforgiving and the pin placements were very difficult, as for the overall conditions it was very wet
and mushy out there due to the rain, so many times
the girls and I had to get relief from wet muddy
places."
She explained that in order to find relief, "you
have to find the nearest point where you can drop
your ball in a dry area that is no closer to the hole.
You have to make sure with your group whether it
is an okay spot. Also, you can use the rule called

When asked how he felt about how the team did
in the Aztec Invite, head coach Fred Hanover commented, "The team did okay but each of the 5 who
played is capable of doing great things on the golf
course." When inquiring about requirements for
the team to make Nationals, Hanover explained that
our women's golf needs to be in the top 25 in golf
stat rankings in order to qualify for Nationals.
Though it was University of Kansas who placed
first on the first day of the tournament, Texas Tech
pulled ahead with a top team score of 609 (307-302)
pushing University of Kansas to second place with
a finishing of 613 (304-302). In third place was a
two-way tie between host SDSU finishing at 620
(305-315) and Cal State Northridge shooting 620
(310-310). Finishing in fifth was Colorado State
University with 622 (311-311).
Thys commented on her goals for season. "My
personal goals for the season are to attend every
tournament. I am focused on keeping my game
as steady as it has been and was at the Aztec
Invite...looking at what I would like to see happen
for the team, I know we can place in the top three
at nationals in Florida, and I want us all to focus on
that. We have a strong team, as well as two great
girls who are about to graduate, and who I know
would love to see us go out with a huge boom."
The next tournament for the women's golf team
will be a two-day event hosted by Cal State San

CSUSM students will soon
have at their disposal a state of the
artfieldhouse, located west of the
near-completed student housing.
Scheduled to be completed by the
end of this summer, the facility is
the brainchild of ASI, along with
many other intimate partners.
According to the campus website,
its purpose is to serve "as the
center of the campus community,
by developing and maintaining
facilities which enhance the
quality of campus life, and [by
supporting] the educational
mission of the University through
social, recreational, cultural and
educational programs." It will also
be the base camp for the future
physical education program.

of Gordon's achievements in the
past," Helene donated what would
be the largest single donation
from a living person in CSUSM's,
at that point, 10-year history,
totaling $1.2 million. "Athletics
was Gordon's life in so many
ways," Helene reminisced in an
interview with Coast News, "The
field house is a fine way to honor
him and to help so many young
adults."
In addition to the $1.2 million
donation, Helene's endowment
was instrumental in obtaining a
matching grant from the Kresge
Foundation. With just under a
third of the estimated $7.1 million
cost accounted for, CSUSM
students voted in October 1998
to increase student union fees for
full-time and part-time students
to $50 each semester, in order
to raise additional support for
the field house. The plan is to
raise approximately $4.7 million
over the next four to five years.
The rest of the money has
come from private donations,
approximately $2.5 million at last
count, according to Arlene Ruiz,
assistant to the vice president of
External Affairs.

Esta obra dirigida por Sam
Woodhouse, se sitúa en el año

Los Ángeles y las ciudades
fronterizas de San Diego y
Tijuana pronto serán unidas.
No obstante, la obra demuestra que más que una cerca
inquebrantable separando estas
dos ciudades, existen muchos
prejuicios entre unos y otros.
Estos mismos prejuicios y estereotipos son los que no permiten
que los habitantes se den cuenta
que entre los dos países hay más
similitudes que diferencias.

Even A Blizzard Can't
Chill The Fire In Her Soul TO HIGH GEAR!
By ERIK ROPER
Pride Staff Writer
Last Monday, February 17, at 7pm
in ARTS 240, Cal State San Marcos
community members came to hear
Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton
and her biographer, Joan Lester, speak
about the life and times of Norton.
Their visit to Cal State San Marcos was
scheduled as part of a multi-campus tour
throughout the US. The tour is meant to
promote the recently completed biography
by Lester of Norton's life and times, Fire
In My Soul The book came out about a
month ago and is already in its second
printing.
Unfortunately, due to an historic blizzard
that was swirling about the east coast at
that time last week, Norton was not able
to attend since all flights in her area had
been grounded. As ASI President Jocelyn
Brown welcomed those in attendance and
gave them the standard, "We've got good
news and bad news..." line, an audible
sigh could be heard from the crowd of
approximately fifty people. But even
the bad news was not as bad as it could
have been, because shortly after Brown's
introductory remarks, audience members
were treated to the disembodied voice of
Norton piped in via speaker phone. Norton
apologized profusely for not being able to
attend, adding that, "I've been snowed out
of California - and the loss is all mine."
Fortunately though, her biographer,
Lester, was able to attend and speak very
eloquently about the extraordinary life of
Norton.
Lester began her remarks by speaking
about how she had known Norton for
many years and that when shefirstdecided
to write a biography about a strong and
accomplished woman Norton was not
the first woman who came to mind. But
one day while lunching together in DC,
Lester floated the idea of writing Norton's
biography and Norton instantly liked the
idea. Lester said Norton told her, "Girl,
come on down to Washington and let's get
to work!"
So approximately four years ago Lester
started working with iNorton, ".. .one
chapter at a time." She described the
former civil rights activist and currently
tenured law professor at Georgetown
University as a challenging subject, "in a
number of ways. She's very argumentative,
which is quintessential Eleanor. She's so
quick, so fast, so forthright and her mind
is so broad. When working with her I often
felt like my mind was still stuck in the
sixties - she brought me into the twentyfirst century."
In the spirit of modernity, those in
attendance were treated to more virtual

on the ARTS 240 video screen. The video

Will t he W ar o n
Terrorism Bring
A nother Boon f or
Drug Traffickers?
By JEFF BROWNLEE
Pride Staff Writer
Since the end of WWII, one of the most
consister^ and generous benefactors of
international drug traffickers has been the
American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
Beginning with the defeat of the Nationalist
Chinese by Mao Tse Tung's communists' in 1949,
trade in opium and heroin played a major role in
financing the CIA's efforts to fight the menace of
communism.
Nationalist forces driven out of southern China
into northern Burma in 1949 sought to regroup
and rearm for an invasion of the now communist
controlled China. These nationalist forces were
trained, and their subsequent incursion into
communist China was largely planned by the CIA.
Nationalist forces financed the operation almost
entirely through the cultivation and sale of opium
that was in turn refined into heroin for sale in the
United States and other western nations.
Nationalist forces invaded China from their
Burmese sanctuaries in 1952 and were defeated
and repelled by the communists. In 1961, military
operations by the Burmese army and Chinese
communists largely eliminated the Nationalists
forces in northern Burma as a viablefightingforce;
however, the opium syndicate established by the
nationalist mercenaries remains to this day. Prior
to 1949, northern Burma and Thailand produced
very little opium. Today, thanks in great part to the
activities of the CIA, this area is the largest opiumproducing region in the world.
In Burma the CIA was ^largely guilty of a sin of
omission. They simply turned a blind eye to the
activities of their nationalist allies. Later, In Laos,
the CIA participated in the narcotics trade in a
more direct and deliberate fashion. Like Burma,
prior to the end of WWII, Laos produced little
opium. Beginning in the 1950s the CIA began to
récruit Hmong tribesman, a Laotian ethnic subgroup, to fight against the communist Pathet Lao
and North Vietnamese. The Hmong had long
grown opium for local drug traffickers and with
the CIA's encouragement they began growing it
in ever-larger quantities in order to subsidize an
increasingly bloody war against the communists.
In this case, CIA aircraft actually transported
raw opium from rural mountain areas in northern
Laos to heroin labs in Laotian cities. The resultant
heroin found its way onto American streets and to
American servicemen in Vietnam. The CIA was not
directly involved in moving the processed heroin,
but they were well aware of where it was going. In
fact, South Vietnamese vice-president Nguyen Cao
Ky was personally involved in importing heroin
from Laos to South Vietnam.
These are not thé paranoid assertions of a
disturbed conspiracy theorist. Historian Alfred
McCoy meticulously documented all of these facts
in his book "The Politics of Heroin in Southeast
Asia." A corporate lawyer at the publishing firm
Harper & Row called upon McCoy to justify
every sentence in his book. The CIA actually
obtained a copy and tried to have certain passages
expurgated.
In the aftermath of 9/11/01 many have called
for an easing of restrictions on the CIA's conduct
in order increase the intelligence agencies'
effectiveness in combating international terrorism.
These calls come in spite of the fact that the CIA
in its unrestricted cold war incarnation played
a major role in furthering international drug
traffic while largely failing to stop communism in
Southeast Asia. One is led to uneasy speculation as
to what will be the nature of the next plague this
"intelligence" agency will visit upon us during an
unrestricted war on international terrorism.
�About CSUSM Disabled Parking
Dear Editors:
I am both a disabled person (registered
with the Disabled Students Office) and a Disabled Veteran (60% service connected disabilities). Per V.C. 22511.5, using my placard
properly displayed and my student parking
permit properly displayed, I am allowed to
park, pursuant to the California public policy
stated in VC 22511.5(a)(1), et seq., in any zone
restricted for time or otherwise restricted per
21458(a)(5) or 22507 and any zone restricted
by local ordinance.
VC 21113 allows California State University (i.e., the Board of Regents, not local San
Marcos parking authority) to enact regulations to establish rules regarding parking.
However, the law of this state does NOT
allow CSU to FURTHER restrict the parking rights of disabled persons and veterans.
In fact, California public policy specifically
states that disabled parking MUST be provided in locations NEAREST entrances and
exits. When I started this semester, CSU
placed 5 green signs in 5 otherwise unmarked
parking slots just south of the dome and the
signs state CSUSM, Special Medical Permit SOLE Vehicle Code section that specifically

I gotta hand it to you, your

emotions and naivety, rather than
logic and fact. The reality of the

use force. And it amazes me that
so many people like you (in the
ostrich brigade), continue to have
your heads in the sand. Since the
Gulf War, Saddam Hussein has
broken every treaty, UN resolu-

he agreed to. He's also tried to

weapons. In Bush's last speech,
he listed a number of chemical

do the same. And it would only
be a matter of time before he
did get nukes if people like you
were in charge, who would probably try to play the appeasement/
negotiation game (which NEVER
works with lawless dictators).
You have got to realize that
there are evil people in this world
who only listen to one thing: The
language of force. Do you think
the British would have just got
up and left back in 1776 without
being forced out? Did Hitler listen
to peace talks Mr. Martin? Do
you really think 100 UN weapons
inspectors in a country the size
of California are enough disarm
this guy? That is ridiculous! You
also wasted a lot of paper spilling your guts about how much
pity you feel for all the innocent
people who may die. Well guess
what; I can tell as a former US
Army soldier that we go out of
our way — more than any other
country on Earth-to avoid killing innocent people. The reason
people do get killed is because
our third-world enemies usually
hide among civilians and use
them as shields, hoping we won't
come after them. In addition, a lot
more innocent people are will die
as a result of Saddam's quest for
nukes if we don't get rid of him.
Listen, nobody likes war. Not
even the toughest Army Rangers and Navy Seals enjoy getting
shot at. But sometimes you do
have to fight for peace in order to
protect your way of life, and that
is a reality you need to realize.
So when the removal of Saddam
begins, are you going to support
our troops like the many Americans that rallied behind our sailors and Marines last Weekend?
I hope you and every anti-war
protester will think about this:
the cost of freedom. Guess what,
freedom is not free. If you doubt
that, go ask a WW2 veteran. Freedom has a price Mr. Martin. It
costs a lot more than your bleeding heart is willing to realize.

I would like to respond to
Robert Williams' comments in
the article dated 2/11/03 "State
of the Campus Address." In this
article he states! "this semester
there is ample parking, even
during the busiest times." I was
incredulous when I read this.
Obviously, Mr. Williams hasn't
spent hours driving around the
various parking lots looking for
a parking place. Nor, has he been
'stalked' by students wanting a
parking space. I applauded the
curb-parking put in place last
semester, and although there was
a "tight crunch" for parking last
semester, it appears just as bad, if
not worse this semester!
Williams? Although I don't agree
with increased parking fees I do
understand the need. But, I do
feel as though I've been slapped
in the face when the parking fees
have increased dramatically, yet
finding parking when you need it
is very dismal. Personally, I had
planned on arriving to school
this semester in time for my 11:
30 a.m. classes. I have had to
rearrange my schedule to arrive
at school by 8:30 a.m. in order to
obtain a parking space without
having to drive around forever!
Please tell me where this "ample"
parking is, especially during the
busiest hours.
Thank you,
So what risks outweigh the Louise J. Tweed
benefits for curb parking Mr. Junior, Liberal Studies
Response:
Is There
Liberal Bias
at Cal State
San Marcos?
Regarding, Jamal Scarlett's
Feb.18 article, I find it amusing
how anyone would question
liberal bias from an educational
perspective when conservative
ideologies have been constantly
shoved down our throats from the
time of infancy.
In order for this society to
succeed with its capitalistic, elite
way of thought, the conservatives
would like to have America
believe their standards, including
correct
"moral"
thinking,
religious beliefs and systems of
oppression, should be mainstream
thought. In a time where
inequalities are more prevalent
than ever, to cry conservative
is to condone suppression, stray
from an egalitarian model and
keep society at status quo.
Sean Mattingly asks, "(why are
we) fooling students into thinking
that in order to be a 'free thinker'
that they must be indoctrinated
by liberalism?" The answer is
that we're not. By providing
students with the opportunity
to explore creatively and utilize
what C. Wright Mills called
a "sociological imagination,"
educational institutions are
simply suggesting that society
explore other ways of thinking.
Liberalism implies that we do not
have to conform to conservative
ways of thought and potentially
risk appearing as mechanical,
docile, assembly line like robots.
We do not have to accept
everything the media feeds
us at face value or submit
to authoritarian hierarchies.
Furthermore, if the push
for liberalism is becoming
an issue through so-called
"indoctrination" via faculty then
I applaud their misconstrued
achievements at "brain-washing"
conservatives into more liberal
ways of thinking. Obviously,
advocating
progressive
reformation is not biased, only
the deconstruction of the biased
realities that already exist within
our society.

Pride Editor
CSU faculty members are
working in excess of 50 hours per
week, according to the results of
a recent study. Released on Feb.
20, the study examined changes
in the amount and type of work
being conducted by faculty.
Compared to a similar study
conducted in 1990, the amount
of time spent teaching and stu
dent advising has not increased,
but the amount pf time* spent
on activities outside the class
room has added approximately
two hours per week to faculty
workload.
As quoted in the North
County Times, George Diehr,
California Faculty Association
(CFA) chapter president and
CSUSM College of Business
Administration faculty, said the
findings may be a way for fac
ulty to receive more time off for
research and that CSUSM now

ulty.”
The study attributed the
increase in scholarly activities'
and research to the expansion of
the faculty’s knowledge base and
the addition of younger faculty
members. In addition, the CSU
now has a larger, more complex
student body, new technology,
and a broader social spectrum,
which Contributes to more diverse
and challenging work for fac
ulty.
“CSU faculty members are
hard-working, committed to their
students, engaged in a wide range
of scholarly and creative activ
ities, and [they are] energetic
in reaching into their communi
ties,” said David Spence, CSU
executive vice chancellor and
chief academic officer, in a uni
versity press release.
The study, conducted in 2001,
included 2,547 faculty members
at 22 CSU campuses. Tenuffed
two-thirds of the contributing
participants.
In addition to this study, Ana
lytic Studies designed a survey
to find out how students rate
their college experience. Find
ings indicated that professors
at CSUSM spend a lower than
, average amount of time inter
acting with students outside the
classroom. The disproportionate
amount of time was attributed to
the fact that CSUSM is a com
muter campus, students don’t
stick around to talk, and they go
to work.
The CSU is now in the pro
cess of conducting a similar
survey of tenured and tenuretrack faculty at other universities
around the nation that are com

ASI President
Jocelyn Brown
I am a biology major and will
be graduating in Spring 2003.
During my four years at Cal
State San Marcos, I have been
actively involved in represent
ing the student voice, advocating
for student’s rights and improv
ing and enriching campus life.
I have three years experience in
ASI and currently serve as your
ASI vice president of External
Affairs.
At this last year I initiated,
coordinated and participated in
many ASI events and programs.
In my capacity as vice president
of External Affairs, I am one
of two representatives from our
campus that sits on the California
State Student Association(CSSA),
which is a statewide student asso
ciation that represents the voice
of 380,000 CSU students to the
board of trustees. I also chair the
ASI External Affairs Committee,
which siphons information from
the statewide level down to the
students at our campus, includ
ing legislation, voter registration,
CSU policies, and campus pride
initiatives. Aside from my role
as vice president, I am also the
vice chair for the University Stu
dent Union Advisory Board and
an active member in the Envi
ronmental Club.
From my involvement, I have
gained a vast knowledge of ASI
and the university at large. I
believe that this gives me the
ability to transition easily into the
role of president, leaving more
time to hear, represent and seek
the student voice. I feel confi
dent in my leadership abilities to
know that if given this opportunity

Last Wednesday a power
outage hit Cal State San Marcos.
Students and faculty alike were
left without electricity from 11:15
a.m. to 12:45 p.m.
CSUSM student Jessica
Smith said, “I had to take two of
my exams in the dark. All of the
students gathered by the win
dows or sat under the emergency
hallway lights to take the test.
Out of all the buildings Univer
sity Hall was the worst because
there are hardly any windows.”
“It was total chaos, I had to
let my class go and just after
the students left the power came
back on,” said Tom Menden
hall, a teacher’s assistant in the
Literature and Writing Studies
Department.
According to San Diego Gas
and Electric (SDG&E), “The
outage prevented a potential,
uncontrollable blackout in the
San Diego area. The California
Independent System Operator
(Cal-ISO) ordered SDG&E to
drop 300 MW of power imme
diately. The resulting outage
affected 101 circuits at 11 sub
stations that serve portions of the
following communities: Blos
som Valley, Bonita, Carlsbad,
Chula Vista, City Heights, El
Cajon, Escondido, Fletcher Hills,
Highland Valley, La Mesa, Lake
side, Lemon Grove, Mission
Hills, Mission Valley, down
town San Diego, National City,
North Park, Paradise Hills,
Poway, Ramona, Rancho Ber
nardo, Rancho Del Rey, Rancho
Santa Fe, San Marcos and Sweet
water.”
Even though CSUSM has a
generator it only provides light
to some elevators and emergency
halls. The Dome, Cougar Store
and many other offices had to
close due to the power outage.

attempt was unsuccessful.
Hamilton changed his plea
in November to guilty while at
the same time promising to find
Vasseur’s body. No reason was
given for Hamilton’s attempt to
change his plea, as stated in the
North County Times.
“We can’t do much without
him telling us the truth,” Hendren said.
The suspicion fell to Hamil
ton early due to his never return
ing to work after Sept. 22, fleeing
from police five days after Vas
seur’s disappearance and a previ
ous incident in which Hamilton
blocked Vasseur from leaving
his home until she hit him.
At the preliminary hearing,
witnesses testified that Hamilton
said he killed Vasseur by acci
dent during a fight with her and
dumped her body in the desert,
according to the North County
Times.
Prosecutors said Hamilton
killed Vasseur when she tried to
break off an affair with him, as
reported previously.
According to court papers,
Hamilton had a history of vio
lence toward women. A Wild
Animal Park co-worker alleged
that Hamilton sexually harassed
her while in a primate exhibit
in 1985. Hamilton also allegedly
punched another woman with a
closed fist and gave her a black
eye.
Vasseur’ husband, Charles,
^
said to the North County Times
that he now has little hope
his wife’s remains will ever be
found. “I usually go out every
once in awhile and look,” said
Charles Vasseur last November.
Financial Aid Director
»>Article cont. from pg. 1.
The advice Rizvi gives to
students is to research schol
arships and their requirements,
understand deadlines and state
requirements, and notify the
office of any changes.
According to Rizvi, the
financial aid office has more reg
ulations than the bank industry.
He said, “While we give the
money or checks to students,
there are a lot of things going
on in the back room. We have
to keep in compliance with state
standards.”
All the CSU system finan
cial aid offices would eventu
ally move to a new system, as
instructed by the chancellor, but
Rizvi’s current concentration is
on utilizing all the capabilities
of the current system.
Rizvi has a programming
diploma and a master’s degree
in Educational Counseling from
National University in San
Diego. He learned about the
opening at financial md through
his membership in California
Association of Financial Aid
Administrators (CASFA), which
provides a list of job postings.
Rizvi said he was not looking
for a job, but he saw the open
ing and became interested. He
researched the position and
became increasingly interested
in the position when he was
exposed to the technology and
student-friendly service offered
by the office.
Rizvi replaced Paul Phillips,
the former director of Financial
Aid and Scholarship Office. Phil
lips left the position last Decem
ber, which he had held since
the establishment of CSUSM in
1989.
Before coming to CSUSM,
Rizvi worked for USA Funds,
the biggest national student loan
company. He held the position of
national director for two years,
which ran a program with about
a $5 million budget. Rizvi said
that he was chosen out of 120
candidates and conducted 39
focus groups to help parents of
college students deal with loan
debts and to help students them
selves deal with college debt.

The college is quickly expanding

ASI president, I will do my best
to bring unity to our very diverse

belief of others at Cal State San

student campus life at our univer
sity. I believe that I can unite our
campus and give the students an
active and vibrant campus life. I
am the chairwoman of the Col

I’m a full time first year stu

of MEChA and also the Raza
Graduation Representative. Fur
thermore, I am the student leader
ship advocate for the Educational
Achievement and Retention Ser
vices (EARS), which has been
essential in building connections
with my constituents. As under
graduate representative, I will
keep you informed of all news
that affects your academic life
by posting flyers, having infor

open forums. I will strive to
inform and motivate students to
increase campus pride and social

who will strive to make this
a student-centered community.
So vote for me, Alan AveryMedina.
Shannon Barnett
“How can I get involved
on this campus?” was the first
question I asked when I arrived
last semester as an incoming
freshman. My name is Shannon
Barnett, and I am running for
undergraduate representative. My
major is liberal studies. Since
asking my first question about
getting involved, I have found a.
variety of answers. First semes
ter, I was in the Emerging Lead
ers Program. Currently, I am
chair of the ASI Programming
Committee, an orientation teamlLeader, co-captain of the ASI
Women’s Club lacrosse team, and
philanthropy chair and assistant
rush of Alpha Chi Omega.
These
activities
have
enhanced my leadership abilities
while keeping me organized and
well rounded. On a new campus
where involvement is scarce and
many students are unaware of
what really goes on in ASI,
I realize the importance of a
great undergraduate representa
tive. This campus lacks commu
nity; I plan to take my knowledge
and experiences and build upon
them to establish goals we need
to bring the student body, ASI
and the faculty together. I will
facilitate student needs by listen
ing to the concerns and ideas of
the entire student body. We need
to voice our opinions and have
them heard. I urge you to take a
stand for your future. Vote for me,
Shannon Barnett, for undergrad
uate representative. Help make
this campus a place for you.
Jacqueline Campbell
I’m a biology major cur
rently working on my undergrad

undergraduate representative. As
a member of Alpha Xi Delta,
I have learned leadership skills,
participated in community ser
vice, as well as campus activities,
and I know what it tak§s to repre
sent a community of students. A
representative speaks on behalf of
the students he or she represents.
I want to add more sports, activ
ities, and clubs to this campus.
I am the voice that will make
these things happen, and I will
do all in my power to make this
campus great and a campus each
and every student hopes for.
Marc DeGuzman
Leadership can be defined
as creating a positive social
change in a person’s life. As a
freshman majoring in business
administration with an emphasis
in high-tech management, I see
the potential this college pos
sesses to transform from a com
muter school into a place where
active college life flourishes. Col
lege life is not just going to dif
ferent classes. It is a journey
that students choose to embark
on, filled with life long lessons
and outlets to the “real world.”
I want to help expand the pro
grams and activities already pres
ent, increase student involvement,
voice student opinions and con
cerns, and bring their ideas out
in the open. I believe that I
am qualified to be an under
graduate representative because
I posses leadership qualities and
have applied them in past experi
ences. By joining a fraternity on
campus, I have learned to interact
with other students on a deeper
level. Through many leadership
conventions and programs, I have
learned different types of lead
ership styles and have developed
my own. I feel I am dedicated,
responsible, and capable of taking
the initiative to accomplish tasks
successfully. Finally, I possess
the desire to impact other peo
ple’s lives in a positive manner.
Angineen Lynnae Hardin
As a recent graduate of the
class of2001 from Mount Carmel
High School, let me introduce
myself. I am Angineen (Angi) L.
Hardin and am currently a second
semester freshman majoring in
psychology. Throughout high
school I was heavily involved in
several clubs, organizations and
sports..I participated in tennis,
basketball and track. I was an
active member in Key Club and
Fellowship of Christian Athletes,
a peer advocate and academic
tutor. I held leadership positions
in our African American Student
Alliance such as historian, vice
president and president. I was
also honored with “Who’s Who
Among American High School
Students” award for two consec
utive years. I have given the same
dedication to my college career.
I am currently the publicity coor
dinator for the Pan African Stu
dent Alliance here on campus
and the assistant to the coordi
nator of Academic Assistance of
EOP/ASPIRE, Josephine Jones.
I’m very excited about attend
ing a new university. I believe
becoming ASI undergraduate
representative will be the perfect
opportunity to learn more about
CSUSM and give me the oppor
tunity to be a part of several
groundbreaking projects as the
expansion and development of
this university continues. I am a
passionate student who is will
ing and ready to accept the
responsibility of representing my
fellow undergrads as we develop
CSUSM into our home.
College of Arts & Sciences
Representative
Kristie McMullen
I’m running for the represen
tative of the College of Arts &
Sciences from the Education Col
lege perspective. I am a liberal
studies major with a sociology
minor. I have attended CSUSM
for the past three years. In this
time of being a cougar, I have
seen many things improve and
change for the better. Change and
improvement is what I am all
about.
I have been sitting on the ASI
Board of Directors as the under
graduate representative for the
past five months. In this time, I
have learned what it is to be a
representative of the students. I
know that you all want a dedi
cated individual who is willing
to stand up for your wants and
needs. For example, the parking
permit-zoning situation was pre
sented to me at a board meeting,
and I made sure many of you
were able to voice your opinions
and thoughts. In doing this we,
the student body, shut the pro
posal down. I want to be able to
serve each individual at CSUSM
with as much voice as I can.
Maria F. Schroeder
I am applying for the posi
tion of the College of Arts and
Sciences representative. I want
to be your voice, and voice your
concerns to the leadership of
CSUSM. As a communication
major with a Spanish minor, I am
more than qualified to accom
plish this mission. Throughout
my three years at Cal Stat San
Marcos, I have been active on
campus, primarily by being active
in my sorority, Alpha Chi Omega.
In this organization I have held
various elected positions. Of these
positions, one of the most impor
tant was as Alpha Chi Omega’s
representative to the Women’s
Greek Council. As a delegate on
the council, I voted on various
issues important to the Women’s
Greek community. This experi
ence has prepared me to be your
College of Arts and Sciences rep
resentative. I believe a student
representative should have an
open mind, be proactive in voic
ing student concerns to the lead
ership of CSUSM, and always
maintain an open door policy.
If elected, I promise to respect
every student concern that comes
to my attention, and to deal with
those concerns in an expeditious,
prudent, and unbiased manner. If
you want a College of Arts and
Sciences representative that is
dedicated to hearing your ideas,
being your voice, and making
sure that your voice gets heard,
then vote for me, Maria Fernanda
Schroeder.
Shannon Tweed
I’m a full time junior with a
major in human development.
I am running for the position
of College of Arts & Sciences
representative for ASI. I am an
active student member in the
Human Development and Vet
eran’s Association clubs. I am
also an EOP peer mentor on
campus, which has provided me
with knowledge and experience
to assist students within my col
lege while they navigate through
this bureaucratic system.
I am the best choice for Col
lege of Arts & Sciences represen
tative because as a U.S. Marine
Veteran, I have the discipline, loy
alty, and commitment to address
the interests, needs and concerns
of the student body in the Col
lege of Arts &1Sciences. So vote
for me, Shannon Tweed.
College of Business Representative
Matthew E. Coultas
My intention, and overall
responsibility, is to bring the opin
ions of the students enrolled in
the College of Business Admin
istration (CoBA) program to the
attention of the ASI governing
board. In doing so, I will voice
an accurate and forthcoming rep
resentation of the wishes and
concerns of those in the CoBA
program. I will be responsible
and dependable in the course of
carrying out the requirements of
the college of business represen
tative position. By performing
my duties in an honest and faith
ful manner, I intend to become
an asset to both ASI as well as
the general student population.
Deanna C. Garcia
I am running for College
of Business representative. This
is my sixth semester at Cal
State San Marcos, and I am work
ing on my bachelor’s degree in
business administration-service
sector management. Currently, I
am involved in a club on campus
and have held two executive posi
tions, one minor position, and
have served on two committees
within the organization. These
positions has given me the oppor
tunity to work closely with the
executive board to make deci
sions that benefit the group as a
whole. I will bring many ideas,
suggestions, an unbiased opinion
and a good attitude to ASI. I plan
to address all interests, needs and
concerns of the student body of
the College of Business as well
as insure that the mission state
ment of Cal. State San Marcos is
upheld in the College of Business
Administration.
Terra Nelson
I’m running for the position
of ASI representative for the Col
lege of Business Administration.
If elected, I will be a new face
to ASI; however, I am an old
one here at CSUSM. I have been
attending CSUSM since 1998,
and I intend to graduate with
a business degree in the spring
of 2003. As I enter my eighth
semester here at CSUSM, I have
decided to join ASI because I
want to bring freshness to the
team and allow different voices
and concerns on campus to be
heard.
I would be proud to serve
in ASI because I believe in the
values of intellectual engagement,
community, integrity, innovation,
and inclusiveness at CSUSM.
Implementing these values will
help me fulfill the vision of
CSUSM becoming a distinctive
public university in all facets of
academic excellence, service to
the community, and improving
learning by new innovative meth
ods.
Since our college is so young,
I hope to be a part of a team
that will lay a strong foundation
not only for today’s students, but
also for the students of tomor
row. I’m asking for the opportu
nity to build and share the vision
of CSUSM and develop a distinc
tive school that we are proud to
call our own.

“ Butt O u t ”
This is a response to the arti
cle “Stop It!” I found the lan
guage quite abrasive and laden
with messages of guilt. How
ever, I do realize tlie importance
of what was written. Personally,
I do not allow family or friends
to extinguish cigarettes at my
home by snuffing them out wher
ever they like, but my home is not
an institution. The staff writer
who wrote this article could
have better facilitated effective
communication by mentioning
how well our campus looks and
how, in the effort to maintain its
beauty, students could make an
active effort to dispose of their
cigarettes in their proper place.
Furthermore, I find the imag
ery used to get the point across
ludicrous: “I catch myself dodg
ing them as I walk to and fro.”
The better approach to a mes
sage such as this is by using
positive powers of persuasion,
not trying to heap upon smokers
an insurmountable level of guilt.
Reading The Pride, I believe,

the progress and development of
its staff and students, measuring

lino Bitanga for touching on
the issue of identity theft in his
article “Is Your Identity Safe?”
in the February 26 edition of
The Pride. Identity theft is an
increasingly dangerous prob

site (http://www.consumer.gov/
idtheft/), which addresses this
issue at length, as well as coun
termeasures one can take to
minimize risk (See the publi

toward an ID that is not based on
social security numbers would
be a good move for CSUSM
to consider. I would also take
care at public terminals, like
the web lookup for book lists

CALL FOR PAPERS
The Pride Literary Supplement (PLS), a publication of The Pride, is again seeking student writing representing inquiry and
research across all academic disciplines pursued at CSUSM. Deadline for submissions: May 2,2001.
Dear Pride Readers,
the weekend. In fact, I’m
probably one of the few
who have seen how des
olate our campus can be
by 6 p.m. on a Sunday.
Still, I am writing this
brief letter in hopes that
some reader out there has
the power to change the
lounge hours.
I am known for writing
opinion articles of a human
itarian nature, but not this
time. This time I am writing to
complain for my own personal
benefit. As one of the editors
for The Pride, I faithfully
spend every Sunday in the
newspaper office. I recently
had this great idea. I could
go to the student lounge, pop
some popcorn and take a
newsbreak (no pun intended,
I am an avid news watcher).
Unfortunately, Sunday is the
only day our student lounge is
closed.
I realize that campus is
not teeming with students on

The masses are obsequious, contented in their sleep, the vortex of
their minds ensconsed within the murky deep.
The infirmity of man is brought on by his selfish core.
So here we are again to experience the bitter, scalding end, and
we're the only ones who can perceive it. But others sing of beauty
and the story that has unfolded as one that deserves praise and
ritual. My pessimistic lines, your superstitious lives, and the modem
age's lies won't absolve you. And the professional truth and the
dear clairvoyant youth, and, of course, the nightly news will deceive
you.

Anxiety destroys us, but it drives the common man.
Culture was the seed of proliferation, but it has gotten melded into
an inharmonic whole. Consciousness has plagued us and we can

for The Pride
So the snowboarding and ski
season hasn’t been so great due
to the lack of rain, but the condi
tions have been great for surfers,
including those on our surf team.
For those of you to whom this is
groundbreaking news, WAKE UP!
Yes, Cal State San Marcos has a
surf team and has had four com
petitions during the regular season.
ASI added surfing to its list of
approved club sports on January 25.
The team is small at the moment,
but has all the potential to become
lively and popular within the next
year and beyond. The surf team
joined 23 teams at the Seaside
Reef competition over President’s
Day weekend and took sixth place.
Shortboarder Jeff Fairbanks earned
20 points for the team, longboarder
Dustin Franks earned 18 and after
winning three consecutive heats,
also took first place in the College
Longboard Division. Fairbanks was
a key player in this competition;
shredding through five rounds and
just missing advancement to the
college men’s final. He took sev
enth place overall. George Demarino, the team’s bodyboarder, had a
strong supporting role, earning 13
points for the team and taking sixth
place overall.
Check out next week’s edition
of The Pride for the results of
their final regular season competi
tion held on Feb. 24 in Huntington
Beach. For more information about
the team contact coach Amber

Paralympics Light Up Olympic
Flame Again
A Preview of What Is to Come
By MELANIE ADDINGTON
Arts Editor
Beginning Saturday, March
9, Olympic fans can turn their
TVs to A&E and watch the
Paralympic Games. The Olympic
flame will be relit and the world’s
disabled athletes will compete in
Alpine and‘Nordic skiing, and
sledge hockey. In addition to
competitive events, Canada and
the U.S. will play an exhibition
game of ice hockey.
Over 36 countries and 1,000
athletes (The U.S. has 57 ath
letes, 41 men and 16 women) will
compete in the 2002 Games.
The opening ceremony on
Thursday, March 7 will include
entertainment from Stevie
Wonder,
country
singers
Wynonna and Billy Gilman, pop
perfomer Donny Osmond, and
pop-classical violinist VanessaMae. NBC will air the one-hour
program on Saturday, March 9th
at 2 p.m. EST.
What is the difference
between the Olympics and Para
lympics?
Unlike the Olympics, the
Paralympics use a classification
system that enables athletes to
compete on an equal level: all
athletes compete with a pre
determined degree of disability.
Athletes are divided into
three categories: LW classes
(competitors
with
_
locomotive disabil
ities), sitting LW
classes, and B classes
(competitors
with
visual impairment).
was introduced by athletes at
the Innsbruck 1984 Paralympic
Winter Games. Since then, cross
country skiing events have been
split into two separate races: clas
sical and free technique, accord
ing to the Paralympics 2002 web
site.
Alpine Skiing
Men and women will com
pete in four alpine skiing dis
ciplines during the Salt Lake
2002 Paralympic Winter Games:
downhill, super-G, giant slalom
and slalom.
Courses differ in length, ver
tical drop and number of gates,
all of which dictate the skier’s
technique and speed, according
to the Paralympics 2002 web
site.
Giant slalom and slalom
skiing events have been medal
events since the first Paralympic
Games. Downhill was added at
the Innsbruck 1984‘Paralympic
Winter Games, and super-G at
the Lillehammer 1994 Paralym
pic Winter Games.
Ice Sledge Hockey

despite their physical impair

- cross-country and
biathlon. Cross-coun

ASI Vice President of External
Affairs
Brett Gladys
The time has come for us to
take hold of our university and
mold it into ‘our’ university! The
time has come for change! The
division that exists between stu
dent government and the stu
dents of Cal State San Marcos is
wrong, and serves no one. I, Brett
Gladys, am running for the posi
tion of vice president of External
The Pride
Affairs so that I can work to rec
tify this situation. In this posi
tion, I will be able to work with
students to promote change at Cal
State San Marcos and to work
on a statewide level with every
Cal State University to fight for
student interests. Cal State San
Marcos needs leadership that is
in touch with the needs and con
cerns of students and is willing
to work diligently for those inter
ests. As vice president of External
Affairs, I will
communicate
with students
and speak for
them at ASI
and CSSA conferences. I will
work to enrich the lives of stu
dents and to see involvement on
campus grow. Through campus
pride initiatives and increased
student involvement in the stu
dent government, we can improve
this university! There are great
things on the horizon for Cal
State San Marcos, and it is my
wish that every student be a part
of them.

As your ASI vice president
of External Affairs, I will fight
for issues that are important
to CSUSM students: Low fees
and tuition, smaller class sizes,
increased funding for more
diverse student activities and
keeping you informed of policy
changes that affect us.
I am a veteran of the US
Navy. I served in student lead

Being a well-known indi

area of student government. I
am a devoted student advocate
actively involved with student life
and student issues. My dedica

In conclusion, what I have to

is broad experience in student

Arti A. Patel
I am running for the position
of executive vice president. I am
a sociology major who will be
graduating next June. The reason
I am running is simple: there is a
need to increase student involve
ment on campus, and I feel I am
the most qualified to handle that
job. As the current executive vice
president of ASI, I am in charge
of placing students who want to
get involved either through com
mittees, focus groups or other
activities/events in need of a stu
dent voice. As a student who has
been involved in many aspects
of student life on this campus,
I have observed the increasing
need for student involvement and
student voice. In my first week
as the newly appointed execu
tive vice president, I was able to
recruit three students to fill cur
rently vacant board of director
positions, as well as place sev
eral students on committees with
openings. If elected as executive
vice president for the 2002-2003
school year, I plan to implement
programs such as a campus pride
initiative, as well as other ini
tiatives, that will help to build
campus community.

of that hiatus was spent in the US
Army, where I worked as a clerk
in the Finance Corps. Part of my
job in the U.S. Army Finance
Corps was to be the debt man
ager for over 10,000 soldiers from
two bases in Germany and also
for the camps I was deployed to
in Bosnia and Kosovo. This job
required a lot of organization and
efficiency. Coincidentally, these
. very same skills are needed to be
an effective ASI corporate secre
tary.
Being away from college for
so long has helped me to appre
ciate the opportunity I have to
get involved and make a differ
ence. To that end, when I came
to CSUSM last semester, I hit
the ground running. Instantly, I
joined the lacrosse team, began
sitting on the ASI External
Affairs Committee, and started
up the Progressive Activists Net
work (PAN), of which I am the
current president. One of the
things I found striking about
CSUSM when I came here was
the lack of community, identity,
and school pride. Through PAN,
I have been trying to change that
by collaborating and communi
cating with several other student
organizations and bring events
to campus that will foster feel
ings of community, identity, and
school pride. For example, PAN’s
monthly Socially Relevant Film
Series (started this semester) has
arranged to show films with
PASA, the Women’s Studies Stu
dent Association, APSS, and the
Environmental Club. Right now,
this campus is quiet and lacks a
conspicuous identity, but it does
not have to be like that. We have
so much potential, to make this
place fun, to make this place
rock, and most importantly, to
make this place ours.
There have been times this
year when student voices were
not heard by the leadership of
OSUSM, and sometimes that has
been disastrous (i.e. the Com
mencement controversy). As ASI
corporate secretary, it would be
my job to keep the information
student leaders need to make
informed decisions on past, cur
rent, and future issues. But I do
not feel that is enough. If elected,
I promise to be a proactive
secretary who is dedicated to
keeping students abreast of cur
rent issues, finding out how stu
dents feel about those issues, and
making sure that the leadership
of CSUSM know how students
feel about issues. If you want
an ASI corporate secretary ded
icated to keeping you informed,
hearing your ideas, being your
voice, and making CSUSM a
place we can all be proud of, vote
for me, Erik Roper.

NCTD plans future of commuters
By ToNy
If a different technology was utilized,
passengers would leave the main rail and
board another,yet-to-be-decided-upon
transportation sy stem. Prominent ideas are
an elevated bus service and an air-powered monorail.
A private engineering firm is working with NCTD in comparing advantages
and costs of each technology.
The air-powered monorail, proposed
by Aeromovel, a Saudi-owned company,
is untried in the U.S. Aeromovel monorails exist in Brazil and Indonesia.
Steel-wheeled, and pushed by pressurized air columns, Aeromovel's system
carries a price tag of $13 million.
BARTON
EdiTOR'iN'ChiEf
Commuting students may not have to
fight for parking or to cross the 78 freeway
bridge on Twin Oaks Valley Road by the
year 2000, if they live along one of 14
planned commuter train stops.
The North County Transit District
(NCTD) is including a two mile loop to Cal
State San Marcos in its plans for a diesel
electric train service between Oceanside and
Escondido. Currently in deliberation is
whether to utilize the same technology on
the loop.
The elevated bus way is estimated to
cost $5 to $7 million.
While the monorail would be more
costly to construct, most of the land needed
is already publicly owned.
An elevated bus way would require the
pipehasing more land, which could prove to
be costly.
Main rail trains that will run between
Oceanside and Escondido are comparable to
San Diego red trolleys, though they do not
utilize overhead cables.
The loop to CSUSM will shoot off near
the San Marcos town center, and will re-join
the main rail at Woodland Parkway, after going under Highway 78.

Change has been a constant at Cal State San Marcos,
and such is the case with this
new year.
As state support dwindles,
and student body size increases
while classroom space does
not, President Bill Stacy's State
of the University speech posed
him as onereadyto take on the
ever present struggles of raising a university with the on
thing that has remained constant throughout the universities 7 year lifespan- change.
Said Stacy, "We are a nation that likes options, as we
change jobs, products or universities to get what we want.
Thankfully, that swirl of institutional change is no stranger
to us."
Stacy c ompared t he
university's adaptation to a
4,500 student enrollment, and
150 new staff and faculty to a
"team", whose players shuffle
each new year.
New students account for
moce than h alf'of^he total
population of the student body.
These students, Stacy said, will
have expectations higher than
those who remember the university at it's first location.
"Not only do (new students) not share that excitement and prefer the cramped
space here to Vallecitos-they
will be more than a little aggravated by the space squeeze
and the strain on stadd to
accomodate them," said Stacy.

This is the first article I 've ever written for a school newspaper, and I have to
admit I 'm a little nervous about it. I 've
always thought it might be easier to write
newspaper stories than a critical analysis
of Hamlet, for instance.
I mean, how hard could it be? I read
Dave Barry's syndicated column in the
Union-Tribune every Sunday and all he
does is talk about some inane thing he
thought of while lying in his hammock in
the backyard, sipping a cold lemonade and
trying to keep flies from landing in his
mouth. I can do that, I thought. No problem.
What I didn't realize is that it's difficult to be observant. Suddenly, I find
myself no longer consumed by thoughts
of numero uno, and spacing out while
walking around the campus is slowly becoming a faded memory. I am now forced
to notice my surroundings and, frankly,
I 've shocked and amazed by what I 've
seen,
For instance, did ybui Kftdw that thB?
lines at the cashier's office actually shrink
to a manageable length well before parking permits are required on vehicles
parked in campus parking. Obviously,
many students don't if all the people suffering from heatstroke a few weeks ago
was any indication. The same is true for
admissions. The last day to drop and add
classes Was September 5 and from around
the September 2 oft, you could just walk
right up to the counter and state your business. But try that on the first couple of
days of school in August and you'd find
yourself in line purgatory.
By the way, here's a tip for those of
you in your first semester at CSUSM.
There is a little known school supply that
you may find beneficial, especially if you
plan on using the restrooms on the third
floor in Academic Hall. Paper towels!
Usually, you can find someone who is
willing to share but on those rare occasions when there are not 500 people
jammed in the restroom with you, it's nice
to have your own. Besides, it's a great way
to meet new friends.
Sometimes, at least for ah amateur
observer like myself, it's rather difficult
to distinguish between the teachers and
the students and, honestly, Ifindthe whole
thing rather disconcerting. I 've got professors who want me to call them by their
first names and who dress like my teenage daughters, and students who remind
the teacher to collect the homework, think
they know more about the subject matter
than God, herself, and have something to
say about everything discussed in class,
whether they do or not.
The cafeteria is another curious thing.

Anwa-Wilanci. "It is our reality and our
view of how we see the universe and fit
into it."
. "It wasn't until the onset of invading
societies that these tools were looked at
and judged by the so-called "authorities"
to be objects that in their eyes were only
something to sit on a shelf and look at."
The display also represents efforts to
build a c ampus p erspective f ormed
around the idea of cultural diversity. It
will be on display until October 15 on the
walls and in front of doors in the glass
case as you exit the library.

They want to be your friends. In fact,
they'll go out of their way to do just that.
They'll help you if someone tries to
do things to you, and they'll help you
when things go wrong.
Who are they? The State University
Police. They patrol day and night.
T here are 14 i ndividuals in the
university's crime/safety program- a chief,
lieutenant, four officers,fivedispatchers,
one guard, one parking enforcement officer and six community service officers.
OfficerMario Sainz, teaches a course
for women on how to defend themselves
from an assault. Entitled RAD, it will be
offered on Oct. 14,15,18.
Said Officer Bobby Rivera, "I would
encourage the campus community to take
brochures on prevention vehicle theft and
prevention of personal assault. They are
free for the taking They're available at
the Public Safety Office located on the
east edge of the campus at 441 La More.
Lt. Alicia Smith, the second-ranking officer on campus, said, "CSUSM has
very little crime and we want to keep it
that way. One of the things the university
community can do is to know who we are
and that we are here to answer any questions you may have about your safety,
parking, or road problems."
"We have a number of services that
are available to the university community,
but which some of the new students and
staff may not be aware of."
For instance, if you have a dead battery you will be connected directly to the
dispatcher when you press the button on
one of the 11 emergency poles located in
the parking lots. An officer will be dispatched to the emergency pole even if no
one is on the line.
Very quickly, someone will come
with battery cables, start your car, and
get you on your way, said Smith.
Lock your keys inside? No problem.
The officers are equipped with tools and
training to help you.
As soon as a call is placed a light on
the dispatcher's board shows the exact
location of the call in the parking lot—
even if the phone is hung up.
Although public safety officers are
restricted from changing tires by law, they
will place a service call to AAA "Under
no circumstances will we leave you alone
at night or in any situation in which you
feel threatened," said Rivera.
All four officers hope that if the opportunity presents itself, students will
walk up to them and introduce themselves,
said Rivera. "I would encourage students
to participate inofficer Sainz's (RAD)
class.They are free of charge, and there
may come a time that (participants will)
be greatfull for what information they
recieved. It could someday save their life."

Public notification of
college crime essential
On Sept. 11, Senator Diane Feinstein
(D-CA) introduced legislation entitled the
Open Campus Police Log Act of 1996. If
enacted, bill would require all colleges and
universities in the nation to provide a daily
log and public notification of all on-campus crimes.
The House has similar legislation in
the works, introduced by Congressman
John Duncan (R-TN).
Currently, higher learning institutions
are not required to publicly disclose campus police logs. Complaints by students
and parents about the inaccuracy of crimerelated information provided by colleges
and universities have resulted in the proposed bill, according to a Feinstein news
release.
In the absence of legislation requiring open crime logs, institutions have covered up their own criminal environments
that some may not wish themselves or
their children to experience.
Students, parents and the surrounding
community have a right to accurate information. Criminal statistics may be a decisive factor in a student's choice of an institution. Parents may also be swayed from
sending their child to such a school.
This is the very reason some keep their
records closed.
If a high crime rate university was exposed, administrators would logically respond by upping security measures and
spending. Perhaps educational activities
would suffer budget cuts; but isn't it better
to be short one science lab than to be
mugged and left for dead in the school
parking lot?
Public access to information dealing
with the safety and well being of students
makes sense. It alerts students to the potential dangers of schools they are considering attending. It also forces institutions
to combat on campus crime, if only for the
sake of attracting new students.
The Open Campus Police Log Act of
1996 ensures that the school you ?re attending is safe for you and your belongings.
Simply put, we must
uncover a smoking area
STEG STEGMULLER
Simply put, there is no smoking under any covered area at this university.
Please notice the word "covered". If you
cannot see the sky when you look straight
up, don't light up.
Is that so hard?
.
There is no smoking in the courtyaid
in front of the book store where the tables
and coffee bar are located. Yes, I'm fully
aware that coffee and cigarettes are lovers. But lovers can be discreet, and they
should also be aware of the no smoking
signs posted there.
It is only a short hike up the stairs from
this area, maybe 80 feet, to the open area
around the Dome. Shade, chairs, and
tables welcome you there—and so do the
rules.
It's not just the students who break the
rules, staff and professors also have been
observed smoking in the restricted areas.
And who is going to tell them? Not me. 1
don't mind a little smoke on my grades.
But, they shouldn't be breaking the
rules—they should be observing them.
The cost of cost of cleaning up the
butts up uses money that could be better
spent elsewhere and labor that should be
doing other worthwhile work.
Why not have ash trays in the covered walkways so the butts won't get
thrown on the floor? The rules prohibit it
because that would encourage smoking.
You don't leave guns and bullets around
when you are trying to discourage shooting.
Cigarettes butts, are jeeringly referred
to by non-smoking zealots, as "smoked out
tampons," Imagine what the metaphor
would be if they had lipstick on them!
It's morerealisticto think of the butts
as unsightly and offensive to a laige part
of the university community. For those who
are highly allergic to smoke, they are dangerous as well.
The solution simply may be to create
a place, where excellent coffee and good
seating afford those who wish to smoke a
place of their own. A place where they can
relax in a mini community, of their peers,
or with non smokers who feel comfortable
in a smoking environment.
We need to do that in a non-confrontational manner, realizing as we go that
smoking makes up an important part of
some individuals lives, and that is inherent in some of the cultures others come
from. We need to be sensitive to them, as
well as others, in the way we resolve this
problem.
The university community should consider every one's concerns in a friendly,
solve-the-problem attitude. It can be done.
In the meantime, if you smoke, please observe the rules.
�LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Prude, Wednesday, Sevreaihen 18, 1996
In defence of
InterVarsity's
meeting
Dear Editor,
In response to the "Religious Bigotry
Unacceptable" (letter to the editor in May
1 issue of The Pride), I don't think that
the author of this article understands the
c onsequences o f c arrying o ut h is
thoughts.
On of the things the writer said is that
a campus organization should not be allowed to have the freedom of speech to
express its beliefs and concerns. I think it
will be a sad day when a person or group
of people are not allowed to hear about
o r d iscuss t he b enefits o r f aults o f
another's ideas. We d o the same thing in
each one of our classes for the purpose of
determining which is the better explanation or the more logical conclusion to a
problem.
Since the person who wrote "Religious bigotry unacceptable" wasn't at our
March 12 meeting, when we discussed
our topic "What does the Mormon doctrine really teach/ Are Mormons Christians," I feel he is not talking out of knowledge. However, I will inform everyone
that our speaker was not spreading a
message of hate, but rather stressed that
we should not use the problems of the
Mormon doctrine as a way to attack Mormons. He challenged those in attendance
to center discussion on the supreme issue
of who they really think Jesus Christ is?
Secondly, in regard to the author's
opinion of tolerance, as a contemporary
scholar so precisely states, "tolerance in
personal relationships is a virtue, but tolerance in truth is a travesty. Two plus two
doesn't equal 17. It equals four. If this truth
is circumvented to calculus, the inevitable
result is chaos. Likewise, to compromise
the claims of Christ can only lead to calamity."
In addressing what seems t o be an
underlying premise of the author's article,
I find no logic behind relativism. It seems
like this is what he might have also meant
when he said, "regardless; of if you feel
their faith is valid-in your e y£s,it i s certainly valid in their eyes." He i s right that
it is valid in their eyes, but being valid
doesn't mean it is true. All religions are
not true. What is true remains unaffected
by our wishes, or whether someone believes that their religion is true or not. The
truth remains intact and doesn't change
based on someone's view of truth. "All
truth is exclusive-it excludes what is false
as it affirms what is true. After all, if its
true that the capital of the United States
is Washington D.C., then it is false that it
is any other city on earth. That truth excludes innumerable cities."
This should clear up our purpose
behind the March 12 meeting. If you have
any further questions or comments I'd be
more than willing to talk, e-mail me anytime. Also we would be glad to have you
join us at any of our InterVarsity meetings. We are not sending a message of
hate, but of truth and love.

Calling free speech
'hate and bigotry1
is unacceptable
Dear Editor,
Censorship and banning open discussion doesn't have a place in America, let
alone on a college campus. Aren't accusations of bigotry and hate just because
of a flier stating "What does Mormon
Doctrine really Teach?" evidence of real
intolerant bigoty? Most Americans love
truth, free speech and open discussions.
Some Americans are so sheltered
they d on't know what real religious bigotry i s. F or my s pring b reak I was
priviliged to travel to Antipolo, Rizal near
Manila and see the Movie "Kristo", which
I found to be a fascinating blend of Biblical story with Filipino culture.
Unfortunately, when I travelled to
Zamboanga in Midanao that very same
movie had been bombed 4 times by a fanatic anti-Christian minority group.
That's real hatred! (Maybe their free
speech had been censored).I propose a
whole series of religious discussions:
What do Catholicism, Christianity, Islam,
Hindu, Judaism, and Atheism teach?
Sorry if I left anyone out.

Government
wastes natural
resources
Dear Editor,
I recently performed a few hours of
work for a local university. In order to get
paid for that work, I was required to complete some forms.
I must confess it disturbs me greatly
that an institution, which purportedly advocates intellectual freedom and inquiry
in the hope of advancing humanity in a
positive direction, engages in willful habitat destruction and waste of precious natural resources. I am speaking of trees and
the number of which are cut down in order t o c reate r edundant g overnment
forms.
In order to get paid for a mere 18
hours of work, I had to fill out 5 pieces of
paper, all asking for identical information,
one of which was in quadruplicate — 8
pieces of paper altogether. T he free market (environmental) approach would have
been to compile all the information on one
form, enter it into a computer and email
the information to the appropriate departments, making the free market approach
at least 86% more efficient.
While I had no alternative but to submit to this meaningless exercise in penmanship, the waste created by government institutions and agencies such as
this one is unnecessary, excessive and appalling. I was under the mistaken impression that the "computer" would somehow
streamline government bureaucracy?!?
The San Diego Reader recently did
an investigative report on why doctors are
refusing to accept Medicaid patients —
nearly 200 pieces of paper (government
forms) must be filled out for each patient!
Is it insanity that drives government
officials into these wasteful frenzies or is
the urge to confiscate and waste tax dollars merely for selfish reasons — like j ob
security? It's no wonder that Americans
are coming to the conclusion that government just doesn't work.
intolerance are not welcome where free
speech reigns.

Criticize events
that you attend
Dear Editor,
This is a reply to the opinions expressed in a letter to the editor printed in
the last issue of The Pride concerning supposed religious bigotry at Cal State San
Marcos.
Patrick Erbeck-McKinnion, Psychology major, stated his concerns about the
d ifferences between Christianity and
Mormonism. Certainly the Latter Day
Saints population felt no threat from the
forum (much less the flyer) held by InterVarsity Christian Fellowship since no
public statement was issued from the LDS
community. Why does Patrick purport to
be the vanguard f or LDS b elievers?
Patrick states he is not Mormon, and furthermore fails to logically substantiate his
accusations against the forum. I suggest
the LDS student might do better to present
their own case without the help of his
unfounded conclusions.
The argument that simply because
faith is valid in the eyes of its believer
somehow justifies gurard from criticism
has no;place at an i nstitutioft o f higher
(earning such as CSUSM., where all ideas
and beliefs are subject to critical discussion and debate within the classroom and
outside of class. It will be a sad day for
free speech when one individual may dictate the boundaries of intellectual discourse.
The allegation that to hold a forum
contrasting Christianity and Mormonism
somehow spreads hate and bigotry is an
argument rooted in suspicion and ignorance. Since the letter opens with concern
over the flyer, it is unclear if he attended
the forum itself. If he was absent, he has
no reasonable foundation to assert that the
forum promoted hate or bigotry of any
kind. Moreover, he fails to cite any information about the actual'event.
The forum, which I attended, was
merely a presentation comparing and contrasting the doctrines of Christianity with
the doctrine of Mormonism. Conducted
by an expert on the teachings of Mormonism, it was an educational presentation for
everyone, Mormons and Christians included.
Among other things, Christianity
teaches love, tolerance, and the inherent
value of knowledge. The university environment encourages critical thinking and
diversity. T his combination p rovides
groups, such as IVCF, an atmosphere
wherein it is acceptable to consider and
debate differing points of view in an open
forum.
Bigotry is u nfounded p rejudice
against race or religion; it is the exclusion of ideas based on personal preference
or predisposed ideology. Mr. ErbeckMcKinnion's letter epitomizes such prejudice.
To lend credibility to his aiguments,
I would advise Mr. Erbeck-McKinnion to
attend the events he criticizes. Slanderous unfounded accusations and suspicious
We have a right to
know what
animals undergo
Dear Editor,
I recently was shocked and ashamed
to discover that unnecessary, cruel experiments are being performed upon intelligent little creatures, our fellow earthlings,
the rats, right here on our very own campus, C alifornia State University San
Marcos.
And furthermore, I was annoyed to
realize how very little information I could
find out about these experiments.
I have e-mailed the entire Biology department and support staff at CSUSMj requesting information on these experiments and did not receive one response.
I asked in person the director of the Biology department, Richard Bray, about the
experiments in question and he referred
me to the CSUSM Catalog. Of course the
catalog's course descriptions are vague
and fail to describe specific laboratory
procedures.
Bray also in his indirect information
alludedto j'^pmB^ative physiology" (he
must have been referring to Comparative
A nimal P hysiology t aught by B rian
Norris (one of those professors who ignored my e-mail).)
I still am wondering what the Biology department is doing to animals and
f or w hat e ducational p urposes. T he
CSUSM Psychology department, on the
other hand, was much easier to get information about although not much.1 talked
to P rofessor Keith Trujillo, teacher of
PS YC 390 and 391 (and self pnxrfaiiried
vivisecting vegetarian) and he told me that
his class Jias rats in a Skinner box where
they are withheld water until they learn
to press a lever.
Trujillo feels that this experiment is
"necessary" to teach his students about
conditioned behavior even though the
experiment has been done over and over
before and can easily be replaced with a
video. I requested to see theserats where
they are kept and Trujillo made it clear
that he does not "give tours" because it
makes him "uncomfortable."
I feel that everybody has a right to
know what treatment living beings of
other species are subjected to on our campus and for what reasons. This information should especially not be supressed
from the student b ody-thus I am now
calling upon The Pride to assign a journalist t o comprehensively investigate
vivisection on our campus and a assign a
photographer to depict animals in our
school's laboratories.
I await a much needed and informative investigative account of what is presently veiled in a shround of secrecy.

Get away to the old west
B Y DONNA GONZAIES
PRidE STAff WRiTER
Do you need a place to get away for
a few hours? Try Old Poway Park. It will
take you back in time to the old west.
Take a short ride on a train, visit a
pioneer museum, have a party in a lovely
old hall, rent a gazebo, have a picnic.
The park is open on Saturdays from
10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Sundays f rom! 1
a.m. to 2 p.m. On the first and third weekends each month, you can catch a ride on
a train hauled by Engine No. 3. Built in.
1907, the engine spent 45 years hauling
rock three miles for the Henry Cowell
Lime and Cement Co. near Oakland, CA.
On the second and fourth Saturdays
and fourth Sunday, you can ride on a trolley used in Los Angeles at the turn of the
century. It was restored by the PowayMidland Volunteers. Originally an electrical trolley, it now runs by a Corvair engine.
When the trolley is in for repairs, the
volunteers substitute a speeder engine,
originally used to haul workers and supplies to mines, along with two gondola
cars which were built in the 1880's, and
used in mines to haul rocks and ore.
There is no train or trolley service on
the second Sunday of the month.
If you're not into riding the rails, try
the Heritage Museum at Old Poway,
where you can see artifacts donated by the
pioneering families of the community.
The museum is run by volunteers who are
constantly upgrading an creating new displays.

Very few movies tend to actually
warrant sequels. Were five Rocky movies necessary? Three Die Hard movies?
Two (with a third on the way) Mighty
Ducks movies?
In fact, it's almost impossible to think
of a movie produced in the last five years
that actually warranted a sequel. Yet Hollywood continues to milk the cash cow
of an already successful idea and cheapen
it.
Such is the case with The Crow: City
of Angels. The successor to the 1994 surprise hit whose popularity was fueled by
the on-set death of its star, Brandon Lee.
City of Angels is just another sequel in
the long line of sequels that should never
have been made.
The main thrust of The Crow is justice. When someone is killed wrongly,
according to the plot, sometimes his soul
, oannoqrest, and a crow must resurrect the
person to right the wrongdoings. When
translated by Hollywood, this means
bloody killfest. There is only so much that
can be done with this concept- how many
ways can one kill for retribution and still
remain interesting? Answer: certainly not
two.
City of Angels is nothing but a rehashing of the first Crow movie, with
lesser acting, dialogue, and action. The
big plot twist consists of aiather and son
being killed rather than a man and his fiancee.
'j*
Ashe, this year's Crow,
men who killed his son and himself and
kill them in order to rest in the afterlife.
Ashe, played by Vincent Perez, is a
predictable and thoroughly unsympathetic
character. He completely overacts the role
like the lead in a high school musical, projecting a faux despair that is obnoxious
and insulting to any viewer's intelligence.
Perez must have studied for the role by
watching
Brandon Lee multiple times on tape,
because he fails to create a new character
and instead bungles an imitation of an
older one.
The rest of the movie's characters
become nothing but overexaggerated cartoon characters we've seen in countless
other movies. The junkie henchmen, the
evil druglord, the tough-yet-vulnerable
woman- nothing even slightly original. In
fact, the movie's best performance comes
not from an actor, but rocker-turned actor
Iggy Pop. Granted, Pop is no Marlon
Brando, but at least he is semi-believable
as a junkie henchman, and a lot more likable than the hero.
One of the best things about the first
Crow movie was the wit of the main character, which managed to keep the action
a little less monotonous and a lot more
fun to watch. It's evident that City of
Angels tried to duplicate this, through creative line repetition, having Perez repeat
something said to him before he was
killed as he was killing someone. The first
time it worked, but soon it becomes the

from p.6
Petty sings "she'll do anything to
make you feel like an a— —e", obviously
not a flattering statement, in such a sly
way that his true feelings don't come
through. Relaxing and listening to the album for the first time, the lyrical content
is sometimes disguised.
Uncharacteristic of Petty is the instrumental; you see few, if any, on his albums.
He includes two, "Hope You Never" and
"Airport". "Airport" is Petty's take on piano lounge jazz, and adds new flavor to
the typical Petty sound. They are both
short and sweet, and nice monotony
breakers, serving almost as intermissions
from the album's more conventionalsounding songs.
From the humor of "Zero From Outer
Space" and "Supernatural Radio" to the
deadpan cynicism of "Change The
Locks" and "Walls", Petty shows us the
various sides of his music, yet makes it
all sound similar on the surface. Artist like
m usic legend and f ellow T raveling
Wilbury Bob Dylan sing according to the
lyrical content of a song; you can practically taste the feeling in his voice. But
Petty prefers to convey a sense of ambiguity, and in many ways that makes his
music more fun and accessible.
It's not Petty's most serious effort by
any means. It's not his best either, but it's

Trustees enact remedial plan

A remedial education policy
that will help prepare incoming
freshmen for university-level
course work was approved by the
CSU Board of Trustees. Under
this policy remedial classes will
be phased out over an 11-year
period. By the year 2007, only 10
percent of the entering freshmen
will require these remedial
classes.
Adopted after approximately
two years of study and numerous
meetings and hearings, this policy
sets a series of timeliness beginning in the year 2001 that seek to

will be a 10 percent reduction in
the number of students who will

will be reduced by 50 percent and
by 2007, only 10 percent of enteringfreshmenwill be allowed to
enter that need remedial work.

The voices were very loud, on Saturday, March 2. They were callingfromthe

the Upward Bound Program at CSUSM—
alias Stairmaster U.
Typical of one of the sixty-one students
in the UB program, was Jonathan B.
Rasmussen, a twelfth grade student from
Oceanside High School. Instead of playing volleyball, his favorite sport, he was
giving an informational speech, in Jennifer Kissick's speech communication class,
on the intricacies and strategies of the
sport. According to Rasmussen, UB has
kept him on the right scholastic track by
continually providing him with opportunities to interact with staff, instructors, and
students who share his of dream of overcoming many obstacles and graduating
from college.
Though both parents work and have
other children who need their time, they
still manage to support Rasmussen in his
quest to get through college.
Said Rasmussen, "UB has been one of
the most positive forces in my life." A life
in the ministry, helping others, is one of
his goals, after achieving his dream of
graduating.
James Hatter,fromthe Hupa Nation in
Northern California, would have enjoyed
"hanging out" with friends he has met
through UB,fromPauma Valley. Thanks
toUB, he wants to help Native Americans
with the many legal problems that beset
them today. Hatter plans to "finishing high
school with honors and then getting a
masters degree in law."
Hatter complemented his family for
their strong support of his efforts and told
about his "role model Father* who started

Cal State San Marcos, in the form
of the new classroom building
that will open to classes in Jan. 1997. The new classroom building
will add much needed space, and will hold the campus community
over until building 15 becomes a reality in 1998, if Prop. 203 passes.
The Pride would like to thank the CSUSM Foundation for it's
contribution of funds to the construction of the new building. It will
be nice to see a visible example of what the Foundation's purpose is
and has been: to support the University. Scholarships and gifts have
been pleasant, but a building will be a lasting example to future
generations of what the Foundaion has helped to accomplish.
Cal State San Marcos desperately needs more classroom area,
and will continue to need more and more if growth is to continue,
The Pride commends the Foundation on it's support of that growth

Have you ever wondered what you will
do with the knowledge you are gaining
here at CSUSM? CSUSM alumni Rick
Hernandez and Aref Nonrudi have taken
the skills they learned here as business
majors and turned them into a successful
company. Their company, NetRiders, covers internet consulting and page design.
Their emphasis is in presenting seminars
to companies on setting up the net.
Hernandez and Nonrudi teach business
how to get on line and how to use the
internet. Then they hook them up. Net
Riders clients are mostly in San Diego, but
they have a few out of state. Using their
computer engineering skills, combined
with their business skills, they created the
business they wanted.
Initiating the Net Riders was not a one
step job. Hernandez and Nonrudi started a
different business with the same name in
1994. Thefirstbusinessventure was screen
printing and embroidery. They created
everything from T-shirts and jackets to
bumper stickers and pencils. The sole
purpose in selling those items was to earn
enough profit to start the company they
now have.

Associated Students protests food policy
By Tony Barton
News Editor
Dancing to a
joint venture
In supposed violation of school policy, the Associated Students, Inc. sold food on campus to
promote a voter registration drive Nov. 15. Corn
dogs, cupcakes and ice cream were sold in front
of Academic Hall and beverages were sold in
front of the vending machines in the commons
area.
"Students are upset about not being able to sell
food on campus to make money," said CSSA
Representative Lisa Lopez. 'They've had to take
fund raising off campus."
Talks were already underway as to the updating
of current school policy relating to the selling of
food on campus prior to the AS protest The
current policy is an agreement between the Foundation and Aztec Shops, the company who supplies The Dome's foodstuffs. The agreement provides the notion that other groups may not compete with Aztec Shops in the CSUSM food market.

�Student turns
misfortune into
fighting chance
One Cal State San Marcos
student has found a way to
turn misfortune into a fighting
chance for life — twice.
Gina Erickson of Vista was
an aspiring ballerina until an
accident in 1992 put Erickson
in a wheelchair.
Not one to give in to selfpity or to give up, she fought
back and worked at her physical therapy and was determined to walk again. She also
enrolled at CSUSM and channeled her energies into the
Visual and Performing Arts
program.
Earlier this year another
tragedy occurred, however.
Erickson was diagnosed with
reflex sympathetic dystrophy
(RSD), a side effectfromher
previous injury. RSD, though
it has been known since the
Civil War, is still not fully understood.
A painful, neurogenic disease that afflicts millions of
people, RSD can be treated if
detected early. In Erickson's
case, it was nearlyfatal.In the
last flare up, even though her
heartwas healthy, RSD caused
messages to be sentto heart to
stop beating.
Realizing the closeness of
her own mortality, Erickson
has started the Wings of Joy
Foundation.
"The only way I can make
sense from all this suffering
and pain, is that it gives me a
chance to make a difference.
Early detection is important in
the successful treatment of
RSD," Erickson explained.
"Through the Wings of Joy
Foundation, I hope to raise
money to increase awareness
of the disease and to educate
people aboutits*symptams."
T he Wings of Joy
Foundation's first fundraiser
is a fashion show and luncheon
from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dec. 9 at
LaCosta Resort and Spa. Donations are $40. To order tickets or for more information call

Surrounding construction is a
reminder that Cal State San

Signs of construction are visible
on the side of Twin Oaks Valley

entrance and the area in between
Barham Drive and Craven Hall.
On Twin Oaks Valley Road,
new Student Health Services
buildings are under construction
in an approximately 50,000 sq. f t
lot in conjunction with Palomar/
Pomerado Health System. The
Health Services offices will utilize an area of roughly 11,500 sq.
f t, according to Campus Physical Planning Director Russell
Decker. The buildings should be
occupied in the summer of 1996.
Fromtheleftoftheturnaround

Students concerned about
'blaming the victim'
By Roman S . Koenig
Editor-in-Chief
Students andfacultyhave expressed dismay this week over
what they see as a case of "blaming the victim" by campus officialsafterthelate-October assault
of a female student
"I have to say that I ended up
feelingfrustratedaboutthe whole
thing," said Donna Peters, a Sociology graduate student
Peters said she was concerned
about two major things. First,
lights in the parking lot have either been off at night and are too
dim. Secondly, there should be
more patrols In campus parking
lots. There is a sentiment among
students she s ad she talked to
that itappeareditwas the victim's
foultfor being assaulted since she
did not use a nearby emergency
phone.
"It just seems like in so many
things the focus is on what the
victim did wrong," added Liberal
Studies major Denise Gilliland.
"She probably was so beaten up
she didn't know what to do."

should be completed in March of
next year. The road will be finished March 16. A290-space parking lot will be opened on May 1,
also.
Once the grading, etc. have
been completed, thefirstpriority
will be the creation of Building
15, a classroom and office building which will house faculty offices, classrooms and computer,
foreign language, psychology and
social science labs. Building 15
will lie at the top of the stairway
by Craven Hall, adjacent to Academic Hall, accordingto Decker.
"We're hoping to get funding
at the end of the legislative session. Fundingwas recommended
by (the) trustees at (their) meeting,'' said Decker.
K funding is approved by the
California legislature, construction would begin July of '96 with
an opening of the building in fall

Faculty mentoring program going strong since 1991

students to be graduated or move on to

The current confusion and regulation concerning food-selling on
this campus not only needs to be addressed, it needs to be clarified
and reworked to allow student organizations the ability to sell food
items as part of fundraising.
The Pride supports the efforts of the Associated Students and
student organizations to change current policy restricting such food
sales.
As frivolous an issue as this may seem, it is an important one.
Fundraising is the life blood of many organizations on this campus.
This added money-maker is not only necessary for the survival of
some clubs, it can give students more choices in the kinds of food
they can buy on campus.
The D ome Cafe and University Store have nothing to fear from
student food vendors. The call for free enterprise may be a tired
argument, b ut it is valid nonetheless. A stronger argument is that
students and clubs deserve to have these options open to them as a
simple part of campus life. A bake sale will not put The D ome Cafe
out of business.
H i e obscurity of current policy, as Student Activities Director
Cheryl Evans has pointed out, harkens to a time three years ago
when university food services sought to end deliveries from offcampus restaurants to people ordering on campus. O ne deli that
advertised in Pioneer, The Pride's predecessor, made such a complaint That deli is n o longer in business, by the way.
The policy must be clarified, i tmustbe fair and, most importantly,
it must offer student organizations the right to sell food items
whenever fundraising is necessary.
The times are changing
I read with sorrow last July about the
merger of North County's two local daily
newspapers. Indeed, I held much affection for both.
I served as a staff writer/intern at The
North County Blade-Citizen in 1991. The
editor and publisher of the Times Advocate have supported the PaTomar College
journalism department, my alma mater,
since I was a student there. Even more so,
I have fond memories of watching my
grandparents read the "TA" at the breakfast table when I was a child. The newspaperwarsofthe 1980s were waged between
old Citizen in Encinitas and the Coast
Dispatch. T he Coast Dispatch is now
known as the Encinitas Sun. The Citizen
was merged with the Blade-Tribune.
It was hard enough as a journalist to
watch the near-closure of the Vista Press
and San Marcos Courier. Now, the biggest
change of all comes on Sunday, when the
Blade-Citizen and the Times Advocate
make their union official under the new
name North County Times. The papers
announced the name change Nov. 26.
I didn't just fear this change for sentimental reasons. The merged paper would
mean one less daily newspaper to find
OMANS.
§ENIG
work at once I graduated from Cal State
San Marcos. Yet while I have watched the
merger slowly occur over the last several
months, I have been impressed with the
strong commitment that has been made to
expand North County news coverage in a
time of shrinking newspaper quality on
the weekly level. The Sun has gone tabloid, along with the Vista Press and San
Marcos Courier. T he News-Chronicle
didn't last more than two years. Perhaps
what is needed to bring serious journalism
back to North County is this merger.
I look forward to Sunday's debut of the
North County Times, and admittedly I
hope their expansion leaves some room
for a student newspaper editor who will be
out of work as of December. But then
again, I wish the same thing at the San
Diego Union-Tribune and any other newspaper that will take me.

Here are a few suggestions for
future Pride issues which are far
more worthy of investigating and
printing. I have overheard others
discussing these topics and I have
engaged in these topics myself.
Please address:
1) The reasons behind scheduling almost all of the winter session classes at the exact same
time so student cannot take two
classes.
2) Why the Dome Cafe has no
ventilation.
3) What the other clubs and
groups on campus are doing and
contributing.
4) More promotion of upcoming events instead of only reporting after the fact on the events we
missed.
5) Timeline of the construction on campus and what added
features we canlookforward to in
1996-97.
6) Finally and most importantly, how CSUSM will expand
their curriculum and full-time staff
to offer more classes and a wider
selection of class times.
I write that this is thr most
important because the topic of
conversation over the entire campus is nottheTKEsbutthe sparse
spring class schedule. K CSUSM
wants to grow and prosper, a
healthy Greek system is great, a
safe campus essential, but a wide
class selection which rivals others in Southern California is vital.

Kinks in system,
community spirit
found at student
housing complex
By Greg Hoadley
Staff Writer
When Cal State San Marcosfirstgot off
the ground, enrollment was low, as should
be expected for afledglinguniversity. But
one big reason why enrollment quotas
were notbeing met was thatthe university
did not have a housing program.
Since last May, housing has become
one of the many services provided to students at CSUSM. Unfortunately, when one
hears "student housing^ they might think
"dorms, (i.e., living in a cramped space
with three other people and sharing a
bathroom with about 20 more)" and recoil
in fear. No need to fret Dorms at CSUSM
are a long way off, if ever, according to
Housing Coordinator Tanis Brown, as the
Cal State system no longer funds housing.
Students in the program currently reside at nearby Island Apartments, thanks
to a special agreement worked out between this facility iind the university.
"When t he housing program got
started," Brown explained, "there were
certain criteria we wanted to m eet how
can we set this up so it is affordable for
students, maintain a stable relationship
with the local community, and we wanted
to find suitable apartments close to the
university."
The program offers many benefits to
the students. They are provided with a
furnished apartment, they have a choice
between single or two-bedroom apartments, their utilities are paid for and living
advisors, who live in the apartment complex, are also on hand. Students sign a
lease for the school year, say,fromAugust
1995 to May 1996. When the semester
ends, they have the option of staying in
their apartment over the summer while
paying on a month-by-month basis. Prices
rangefrom$270 to $420 a month, depending upon whether they are a one or two

programs.
a
Some have made the adjustment (moving awayfromhome to auniversity) pretty
well," Brown said. "But in student housing, there are always problems that need
to be dealt with, such as roommate and
landlord problems."
One of the biggest problems students
and landlords have is lack of communication/Brown continued. "Before signing a
lease, students and landlords often don't
put certain things down in writing." This
includes living conditions and the manner
in which households are kept
While the housing program is done
specifically for the benefit of the students,
it is notwithout its problems. Students in
the program cite some rules they consider
"ridiculous," such as no pets, no overnight
guests (particularly of the opposite sex)
and no smoking indoors. Also, some students complain that they are housed right
next to families, some with young children. Given that college students are nocturnal by nature, such a condition is a
recipe for disaster, as well as complaints
from the families.
Tanis Brown responds to these criticisms by saying that the guidelines were
set up by input from parents as well as
from other campuses in the Cal State system. As far as location of student apartments, the housing department did try to
place the students in a central area.
As far as giving students a single building of apartments justfor them,- "That was
out of our control," she said. Doing so
would have brought up potential legal problems, as nonstudents applyingfor an apartment at Island Apartments would have
had grounds for claiming they were discriminated against. "Chances are, if & student was renting an apartment on his own,
he would end up next to some families
anyway," Brown added
The apartments themselves are not
exactly suites at the Hilton, as the furniture is somewhat used, and though they
are larger than dorms (which one student
referred to as "little prison cells"), the
apartments are not as spacious as home
was. Even still, students consider it their
own community. As student-residents in
one apartment were interviewed, their
friendsfreelycame and went. One came in
asking for help with a Halloween costume,
another asked around for some milk, which
is of course essential to make the meal
which college students everywhere are
accustomed: macaroni and cheese.
Though they do have their problems
(as mentioned earlier), some consider the
student housing a good opportunity to
make friends.
"This is a good place to get to know
people, and to socialize. Other than the
Greeks, there's no real community at
school," said Casey Woodie. Indeed, two
of the students in the program interviewed
were also in Greekfraternities. Oliver Hepp
is in Tau Kappa Epsilon, while Brandon
Demamiel is a member of Sigma Alpha
Epsilon.
The housing community seems a fairly
loose one. Some joked that they "live on
bread and crackers," and as Demamiel
kidded, "Ifs really close to midnight golf."
"The main goal of the program," Brown
concluded, "is to enhance the academic
program, and toconnect the students with
on-campus clubs; to get them involved."
One student, for example, has started a
recycling program, and some have gotten
involved in a local basketball league.
There are currently 39 students in the
housing program and there is a waiting list
for next semester. Letters are sent out to
new and transfer students, as they are the
group with the largest potential for taking
advantage of the program.
�Consider alternative medicine with care
While I am always tempted to
write about the health and fitness
benefits of exercise or recent developments with sexually transmitted diseases or AIDS, some
factsfroma recent study in the
New England Journal of Medicine need to be known.
Alternative health care is increasingly being used. By this I
mean acupuncture, herbal medications, chiropractic, homeopathy, massage, relaxation techniques, biofeedback, nutritional
counseling, etc. In fact, $11 billion are spent out-of-pocket annually on alternative medicine or, as
Oft.
some would call it, "complementary medicine". I guess it is an
alternative to western medicine
or complementary to western
medicine.
In the study, 34 percent of patients reported seeking the advice of one or more alternative
health practitioners. The problem is not that advice or treat-
ment was sought, but that only 25
percent of those people told their
regular physician or health care
provider that they had done so.
Most physiciansare not aware of
all the different types of alternative health care or believe, necessarily, in their benefit, however,
they survey revealed 92 percent
of some 500 physicians are will-
ing to refer patients for alternative treatment modalities.
We at Student Health Services
are most interested in keeping
students at an optimum level of
health and wellness. We can only
do that if we are partners with
patients in their total health care.
Also, I would argue that we are
likely to be knowledgeable about
alternative practices and indeed,
do endorse them if we feel they
could be beneficial. However,
since some of these alternative
modalities can be quite costly, we
would encourage the patient to
evaluate the benefit of such mo-
dalities. likewise, there could be
sound medical reasons for not
combining certain treatments or
the need to make adjustments
with medications.
Consistent with our goal of
helping maintain or restore an
optimum level of health and
wellness, we encourage you, the
patient, to discuss the alternative
therapies you are using when
seeing a primary care provider.

�Dance class is joint

By Paul Hilker
Staff Writer
Dance 392, American Modern
Dance, is a Cal State San Marcos
class offered at the California
Center for the Arts in Escondido
on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
University President Dr. Bill
Stacy was able to create a partnership with the Center for the
Arts, making it possible for
CSUSM to utilize a dance studio
in central Escondido. Stacy is a
chairman of the Department of
Education at the center. The department, headed by Administrative Director Leah Goodwin, allows the school benefits like masters classes, presentations by professional performing artists, and
the use of the facilities.

Rob Reiner's latest romantic
comedy is simply good, clean fun.
He has produced a sweet and
sappy movie with no surprises,
no sass, no substance.
The president, widowed and
raising his young child (Lucy) on
his own, meets and connects with
a career lobbyist and they begin
to date. The trials and tribulations of having a "bachelor" president dating, dining and dancing
the night away provides much of
the movie's merriment and mirth.
With the infamous and incredible face and voice of Martin
Sheen as his number-one aide,
AJ Mclnerney, and Michael J. Fox
as his speech writer and voice of
the people Lewis Rothchild, President Andrew Sheppard (Michael
Douglas) tries vainly to have a
"regular-joe" romance with
Sydney Ellen Wade (Annette
Bening). The talent that Reiner
brings on board is immense and
underused; they do a good job of
politely tiptoeing around each

The brottherhood of Smoking Popes. The band played Nov. 15 at Backdoor SDSU.
Smoking Popes:for love«SUBUJft¥*
of music or money?
By Jill Ballard
Entertainment Editor
I often wonder why people want to
become rock stars. Is it for the fame and
money? Ithink everyone wantsthe money,
but as for the fame I'm not so sure. Do
people seek rock star fame because they
have a artform they want to share and they
really mean what they sing or do they just
accept the fame in order to make a lot of
money? Sometimes I'm not so sure.
On Nov. 151 saw the Smoking Popes
open for Tripping Daisy at the Backdoor
SDSU. I interviewed Josh Caterer before
the show. He seemed like a nice enough
guy, but he also seemed like he didn't want
to be there. He probably would have
preferred to be home with his well-missed
girlfriend Steffany, which is understandable, but he chose to pursue a rock star
career. HecouldVesaidnoifhe wanted to.
For someone who's supposed to shine in
the public eye, he sure does keep to himself.
"I don't want the world to know anything about me," he said. He also declined
requests for off-stage photos and a signature on the sleeve of the Smoking Popes
album "Born To Quit" I asked him if he
was a private guy and he jokingly said, aI
don't feel private."
The Smoking Popes are three brothers, Josh Caterer, Eli Caterer, Matt Caterer, and one other guy, Mike Felumlee.
The album has a few catchy songs like
their single, "Rubella." Ifs a song about
wanting the girl just as every song on
"Born To Quit" is about wanting the girl—
a very narrow subject to fill an entire album with, but thankfully the album is not
too dull. Even if the lyrics get stale they
are still fun to sing along to.
When asked if he's going to write about
any other subjects in the future he said,
Hey Josh, what are some
questions you hate getting
asked? "Well, if I told you t hat
you'd probably ask them"
" W e n , 1 m m yes, but I'm gonna keep
writing about love at the same time. I'm
gonna try to combine it with other topics
within the context of one song, know what
I mean?"
An alternative band would not of course
be official without making an appearance
on MTVs "120 Minutes." The Smoking
Popes were interviewed for about 10 minutes and then had one clip of it aired
numerous times. I asked Josh if MTV
picked his best quote Qfs of him trying to
explain why he writes so many "love"
songs).
"No, i fs one of my worst ones," he
replied. "I think they do that on purpose,
they go through and kinda pick out the
quote that makes you look the stupidest
and then they show i t"
The performance by the Smoking Popes
at SDSU's Backdoor was mediocre. It had
some good energy, but seemed a little
sloppy. The singing wasn't really into it,
but the guitars were fast and fun.
I fs hard to predict the future of the
Smoking Popes at this point in the game.
So far, the title of their current album isn't
the plan (although Josh has quit smoking). They are going to start recording
their next album in the beginning of the
year and they hope to have it out in the
spring or early summer.
Hey Josh, what are some questions you
hate getting asked? "Well, if I told you that
you'd probably ask them "

compromised by the start of the

A.S. has not been satisfied with
the tight restrictions, resulting in
the protest.
"The food selling restrictions
protest was successful," said AS
P resident C harles Ragland.
"Sometimes the best way to approach a policy is to violate it."
Other criticism of the current
policy comes from Student Activities Director Cheryl Evans, who
has never seen a copy of the
policy. According to Evans, there
is no written policy, but simply an
agreement between the foundation and Artec Shops.
T he policy has been laid down
to the extent of 'here's the rule/

Evans.

�Upward Bound given million-dollar grant
The Upward Bound program
at Cal State San Marcos had a lot
to celebrate last week.
The program recently received
a $1.1 million federal grant from
the Department of Education.
The grant, which makes up 95
percent of Upward Bound's budget, funds the program for another five years (1995-2000). An
orientation for current participants and students interested in
the program was held Sept 30.
The grant proposal was among
the top two percent in the country, receiving 114.7 points out of a
possible 115. Because of the high
score, it serves as a model program.
T he grant reflects the quality
of CSUSM's Upward Bound program and the university's ability
to compete nationally for federal
funds. It also demonstrates
CSUSM's commitment to sharing education with all people of
the North County community,''
said Dr. Bill Stacy, university
president
Upward Bound is part of the
TRIO programs which were designed by Congress in the 1960s
to provide access to a college
education for low-income, firstgeneration college-bound and
college-going students.
"CSUSM's Upward Bound is
an excellent example of the results these programs produce.
The proof is in the graduation
rates of our students," said Calvin
One Deer Gavin, director of the
university'sTRIO programs. "Upward Bound serves 8 local high
schools. There have been 15 local area graduates, all have now
gone on to college." The program
began three years ago.
Joy Moore, a graduate of
Rancho Buena Vista High School
and Upward Bound, now attends
CSUSM. "Upward Bound provided me with the opportunity to
make a solid connection with campus life and personal skills to
achieve excellence as a better
communicator with all people,"
she explained.
Through its training, tutoring
and counseling, Upward Bound
helps students who otherwise
would probably not consider pursuing a college education, prepare for university study. Upward Bound offers tutoring, collegefieldtrips, cultural activities,
multicultural understanding, personal and family counseling,
supplemental instruction, peer
mentoring, college classes, lead-

ership conferences and more.
Through the many academic and
personal experiences,fromninth
grade to 12th grade, Upward
Bound helps studentsfinddirection, focus on academics in high
school, and ultimately graduate
from college.
Upward Bound program
serves 50 high school students
from eight North County high
schools: Rancho Buena Vista;
Oceanside; El Camino; Fallbrook;
Escondido; San Pasqual; Orange
Glen; and, San Marcos. The program is now in the process of
recruiting new participants. Students must be from one of the
eight high schools served by the
program and in either the ninth
or 10th grade.

would be cut out, but the needier
students would recieve more
money.
Either of these proposals passing would be grim tidings for
CSUSM where a large amount of
students recieve pel grants and
direct loans. Furthermore, direct
loans replaced lender loans exclusively for the first time this
year. It would cause afair amount
of administrative hasssle to switch
back.
"We'd go back only if we were
forced to," said Hatten.
The Associated Students has
been busy getting petitions
signed for congressmen Randy
Cunningham (R-San Diego) and
Ron Packard (R-Oceanside) urging them to "support continued
funding for college loan and stu-
dent aid programs (i.e. Federal
student aid) ." Roughly 75 people
called their congressmen on Sept.
12-13, according to AS President
Charles Ragland.
"We'd like to see more grant
money not loans," said Ragland.
Federal financial aid threatened by Congressional ax
By Tony Barton
News Editor
Students may be seing a
change in the way their federal
financial aid is handled if measures being prepared by Congress are instituted.
Items such as student loans
and grants would be among those
affected in a $2.6 billion appropriations cut proposed by members of Congress.
"At this point the House and
the Senate have their own
writeups," said Financial Aid
Counselor Gerrie Hatten. aBoth

til six months after they graduate, is one item on Congress'
change list Limitations on or removal of the interest subsidies on
stipend loans are being considered.
The House of Representatives
has also proposed a dismantling
of the direct loan program, the
program which serves Cal State
San Marcos students. Loans
would be directed back through
the Federal Family Educational
Loan Program (FFELP), a lender
loan program which utilizes over
200 lenders and over 20 guarantee agencies. According to
Hatten, this service would require
some students to keep three or
four contacts for the same loan.
The current direct loan program
is run directly through the government, requires only one contact, and is "easier to manage ."
The Senate has not proposed cutting the direct plan, but has talked
about cutbacks to the program.
"Mywish is that those schools
who wish to be in the direct loan
program canbe in it," said Financial Aid Director Paul Phillips.
Congress has also proposed
raising the standards on students
eligible for federal grant aid. Under the plan, students recieving

statement like that one without a
source. You've got to have rear
sons for everything you say."
He described how he believed
the government and pharmaceutical firms are making money off
this unproven theory and treating AIDS victims with a drug that
kills them faster than the disease
itself.
"A lot of people who have died
of AIDS have actually died of
AZT," he said. "It's a poison,"
originally developed as a chemotherapy treatment for cancer.
a
AZT kills all the cells it gets into
eventually."
While he disagrees with the
established view of how AIDS
develops, Mullis said he has his
own theory.
"Everybody's met one or two
people who died of AIDS," he
continued, "but they each died
differently. In fact, the 'thing'
AIDS isn't a 'thing* at all. I f s a
whole lot of people sick at the
same time with different things."
Mullis described a kind of "viral overload," where people infected with AIDS have acquired
it because of an overexposure to
too many otherwise harmless viruses all at the same time. Individually, these viruses are not
harmful to the immune system,
but collectively they cause its
degradation. HIV is just one of
these many viruses, he said.
"What happens when you get
10,000 times the exposure to viruses totally harmless by themselves, all at the same time?" he
asked. "The immune system
would start to do funny tilings.
And to kill people with the use of
a drug that does little and kills
people, i f s criminal."
He added that the conventional development of an AIDS
vaccine will not work based on
this theory.
Despite his disagreement with
currently-accepted theory, Mullis
said he was open to it provided he
sees the scientific proof. "If somebody came out with a study that
said HIV causes AIDS I would
say 'good,' because I'm tired of
this."
Mullis moved his presentation
from the realm of the inner body
to outer space. He talked about
an alleged cover-up on the part of
NASA and the government to
hide the facts about monuments
on Mars.
"What was our space program
developed for?Tocollect rocks?"
he asked the audience. He explained how, in 1978, NASA's
Voyager snapped photos of what
appeared to be a face and several
nearby structures on the planet's
surface at the region called
Cydonia. While the press at that
time was told that subsequent
photographs six hours later
showed nothing there, he explained, NASA never took such
photographs because the Martian night had set in.
Three-dimensional computer
enhancement of the known photographs shows that there is indeed a face, he said, "Like Mt.
Rushmore but better art" Fifteen
years later, when NASA planned
to take photos of the same region, he said, the cameras on
board the space craft conveniently
malfunctioned.
Mullis said that the discovery
of thefaceand other structures
such as pyramids are exactly what
we want the space program to
find, explaining the ridiculousness of sending a small land-based
machine to look for ATP when
right beside it is a pyramid and a
face.
He told the audience that the
Internet is a blessing because information is so accessible about
issues such as this. "Those pictures, fortunately, due to the
internet, are noteasy to suppress,"
Mullis said.
After his main lecture, Mullis
answered questionsfromthe audience.
Continuing on the theme of
government eover-ups of alien
life, one audience member asked
Mullis if he believed there was a
cover:up with regard to the topsecret "Area 51" military base in
Nevada, which some claim
houses alien bodies and space
craft. "They say they're alien bodies stored out there. I think Jimmy
Hoffa's out there," he responded.
Another audience member
asked Mullis to talk about his
experimentation with LSD. Mullis
told the audience that, while it
improved his thought processes
and opened his mind to new ways
of thinking, the drug is not for
everyone.
"For some i fs good. For some
i f s bad," he said. "Butto not know
about it and find out about it is
stupid." Mullis noted that although LSD was legitimately
tested by scientists for its good
purposes, "It was a typical response by human nature to (suppress) something new and unknown," thus leading to its being
made illegal.
Campus dignitaries and the
press were invited to a personal
reception with Mullis after the
lecture in university President Dr.
Bill Stacy's conference room.
Fall semester marks ELM deadline
The deadline is approaching
for students to take care of the
Entry Level Mathematics (ELM)
requirement, announced Cal
State San Marcos Test Coordinator Susan Buck. The test dates
are O ct 14 and Nov. 18. The
(ELM) requirement is a mathematics requirement of all CSU
campuses. Most currently enrolled Cal State San Marcos students have already satisfied the
ELM Requirement or are currently enrolled in Math 050. Students unsure of their ELM status
are advised to contact Admissions
& Records at 7504800.
The ELM requirement is met
in four ways: completing (with a
grade of C or better) CSUSM's
Math 050 course; completing
(with a grade of C or better) a
college course that satisfies general education quantitative reasoning; a satisfactory math score
on certain exams such as SAT,
ACT, AP and the College Board
Achievement Test; or a passing
score (550 or above) on the ELM
exam.
Students must attemptto complete the ELM requirement by
the end of theirfirstsemester at
CSUSM. Those not clearing the
requirement will not be eligible
to register for the spring 1996
semester.
The ELM exam is a 75 minute
multiple-choice test consisting of
48 intermediate algebra questions
and 12 geometry questions. The
passing score is a scaled score of
550 (which equals 39 correct answers out of a total of 60).
Students can pick up a test
registration packet in the Office
of Admissions and Records or
the Testing Office. The registration form must be mailed or
brought to the Testing Office. An
admissionticketwill be mailed to
registrants one to two weeks before the test date. A$16 test fee is
due on the day of the test
ELM workbooks and ELM

�Album review
Morrissey's latest is brilliant
By Jill Ballard
Entertainment Editor
Morrissey has done it again.
He's released another fabulous
album. To say that "Southpaw
Grammar" is his greatest album
wouldn't be fair since Morrissey
has never ever released anything
less than brilliant, but "Southpaw Grammar* has a style apart
from any of his past works—just
as all Morrissey albums are
unique.
The mellow and smooth
sounds of his last album, "Vauxhall And I," have been replaced
with harder and more prominent
guitars and percussion while the
voice steps back slightly from
the forefront leaving the music
to take more control. The opening track, "The Teachers Are
Afraid Of The Pupils," clocks in
at 11:19 minutes, making it the
longest Morrissey song ever released. Despite its length, however, there is not a dull second in
the song. I fs a haunting tale of a
teacher who lives under the strain
of threats and harassment from
his students and their parents,
"Say the wrong words to our children and well have you/Ifs never
too late to have you!" It reminds
me of those court trials where
school teachers were being
wrongly accused of child molestation.
"To be finished would be a
relief" is the driving line of the
song, but thankfully that is not
the case for the album as we are
next treated to another masterpiece, "Reader Meet Author".
This song is a blast against authors who are ignorant to their
readers' hardshipped working _
class lives, "And the year 2000
won't change anyone here/As
each fabled promise flies so fast
you'd swear it was never there/
Oh have you ever escapedfroma
shipwrecked life?" The song concludes by accusing the writer of
lying.
The next track is the radioonly US single as well as the second UK single (releasedateSept
25) "The Boy Racer," a fanciful
James Dean-esque song about a
good-looking young man who
speeds without getting pulled
over, has too many girlfriends
and thinks he's got the whole
world in his hands when he stands
at the urinal. Morrissey seems to
be almost envious of the carefree
dangerdefyinglifestyleoftheboy
racer, "Have you seen him go
though ohhh/Boy Racer ohhh/
We're gonna kill this pretty thing/
He's just too good looking." The
next track, "The Operation," is
introduced by a lengthy drum
solo. The song never explains
what kind of operation was performed on the patient, but the
person apparently got a new demeanor Out of it, "Y6u say pleasant things when there is no need
to/Everyone I know is sick to the
back teeth of you." I fs not the
happiest of Morrissey songs, but
i f s still a lively and exciting number.
The next track is "Dagenham
Dave," thefirstUnited Kingdom
single which itself is a must find
because it boasts one of
Morrissey's best b-sides to date.
"Nobody Loves Us," is a moving
exploration of the attitudes of

neglected children and how they
are negatively viewed by society.
The other b-side, "You Must
Please Remember," is another
good reason to get the import
single. I fs a sad tale of being
haunted by painful memories
while at the same time others are
opting for repression. "Dagenham Dave" is a whimsical sing-

along song about a guy not unlike
the charming boy racer. The chorus is just a repeat of "Dagenham
Dave" over and over until the fascination with this ordinary boy
hits it's final line, "I could say
more, but you get the general
idea."
Then we are given the gift of
one of Morrissey greatesttalents,
lyrical sensitivity. I fs a caring,
outreachingpleato "Just Do Your
Best and Don't Worry," a song
directed to the overly self-critical, "With your standards so high
and your spirits so low/At least
remember this is you on a bad
day/You on a pale day/Just do
your best and ohhh/Don't worry
ohhh/The way you hang yourself is oh so unfair." The next
song, "Best Friend On The Payroll," is about a live-in right hand
assistant who's welcome has worn
out, which leads us to the final
track, "Southpaw." This song is
the only one I didn't really like,
but that was only because after
the singing ended, the boring
music just droned on.
This album is a brilliant work
of art despite i fs one minor downfall for me. I highly recommend
it to anyone with taste for catchy
songs with meaningful lyrics.
