The most talked about issue since students returned to CSUSM, parking, is turning yet another page in its growing saga. One of the latest developments was that on Sept. 26 , curb parking was planned to be discontinued and would no longer be allowed. However, information recently released by Parking Services states that the allowance of curb parking would continue after Sept. 26 , th th Coordinator of Parking Services Patti Hale was not available for comment, but according to information obtained in the Parking Services office, "Due to the overwhelming amount of vehicles on campus, Emergency Curb Parking will continue until Parking Services explores other alternatives." However, no information was given on what or when these other alternatives will be explored. The only day curb parking will not be permitted is parking, and curb parking. The on Fridays. amount of parking spaces for the amount of currently enrolled CSUSM's enrollment has students does not connect. increased heavily this fall, and there are currently 6,900 students Many students who parked attending classes.

This includes caused another parking-related off-campus parking, stack uproar among students. Flu Season Could Leave Many Out In The Cold By JASON PADILLA Pride Staff Writer As thefluseason approaches, commonly November through January, students interested might want to take advantage of the Student Health Services (SHS) department located across the camps on the corner of Craven and Twin Oaks in suite 100.

For further information about theflushots, or the Student Health Services, call 7504915, or visit them on the web, at www.csusm.edu/shs. th nd Without curb parking, there is virtually nowhere to park due to the large number of students compared to the low number of parking spaces available. It seems that until Parking Services can develop a plan to accommodate all of the vehicles on campus, curb parking will remain an inevitable part of life at CSUSM. News Feature HME page 3-4 Arts.

CSUSM stopped highest continuation rate from its extended applications accep- the previous spring in our histance period for undergraduate tory. Last fall, for example, we th enrolled sixty-eight percent of the previous spring. I think the improved continuation rate could be seen as a positive reflection of the quality of education our students are receiving here." In addition to the large increase in the percentage of enrolled students last spring who continued in the fall, the reason for the increase in students is based on other factors as well. According to Riehl, "The additional construction of the campus and the growing public image are some of the main attractions to first time freshmen. The weakened job economy and tighter job market might be partially responsible for the improved continuation rate from last spring. All campuses in the CSU system are experiencing similar unexpected growth, so it is a statewide phenomenon." Compared to the Fall 2002, there were about 700 who applied, and now the school already has 1,200 prospective students who have applied for Spring 2003. CSUSM is currently budgeted for nearly 7,400 students on an annual average. The unofficial count on students for this semester is 7,600 and this will be either confirmed or changed with the census count that was held at the end of September and will be released in early October. Riehl did not say what they will do if the number of students admitted reaches school capacity. Although the requirements to get into CSUSM are the same, Riehl said that there is still a need to remind students interested in attending Cal State San Marcos to apply early and make sure that they have all the docu- TENURE from page 1 Brodowsky, Assistant Professor account of her many good o Marketing, and S Vourlitis and Thomas Wahlund Afssistant Professortephen Zera, qualities. of Finance, from the Biology Department; as new Associate Professors with Some awardees were not and Robert Yamashita from the tenure. able to attend due to health Liberal Studies Department. problems or because they Dean arion Reid from he From the College of Busi- Library Mnd Information Ster- were otfeaching classes at the a ness Administration, Dean vices recognized Jacqueline time the ceremony.

Students looking to apply for Fall of 2003 should apply between Oct. 1st to Nov. 30th of this year to be assured consideration for admission. There are no plans for preferential enrollment at this time, and both transfer students as well as incoming freshmen will be viewed as equals in the admittance process, Riehl said. Applicants in all class levels, who meet the requirements, will be admitted as long as their application arrives before the deadline.

Every year the Academic Senate designates a nominating committee to select one faculty member to be recognized by this award. This year, nominations are due to the committee by Thursday, Nov. 7. Full time and part time Cal State San Marcos faculty are eligible to be nominated by current or former students, by colleagues, or by staff members. For those interested in submitting a nomination in recognition of an exceptional professor, the following information may be useful, as laid out by the university official procedural guide, found at: http://lynx.csusm.edu/policies/ procedure_online.asp?ID=90.

University officials hope this library will become the focal of the school. However, unless Proposition 47 passes this coming November, the library will have a problem with becoming fully laden with the equipment needed for this possible state-of-the-art facility. CSUSM's new Kellogg Library will be a 200,000-square-foot facility compared to the current library, which is 28,000 ft. This new library has the promise of being a focal point for the whole of the North County community. The new facility will have space for 78 computers in the Reference area and a 100-seat open computer lab, along with 1,500 reader stations wired for the Internet and broad wireless capability that will allow users to V\ route for contingency funding."

The Brown Bag World Music Concert Series is a part of the fall schedule for the Arts & Lectures events on campus. The week started fiercely with the audacious, and at times overwhelming, sound of the North Australian Didjeridu. The Aboriginal native instrument, created of a hollowed eucalyptus tree limb, was used to create sounds native to the animals of Australia. Randy Graves, master instrumentalist of the Didjeridu, used the primal instrument to tell adventurous stories from the animal point of view.

The Scream Zone is the largest haunted attraction in San Diego, featuring 12,000 square feet of 3-D thrills. Each year the event features a new theme, and this year it is "Gothic-Frankenstein." This year the Scream Zone was designed and hand painted by former Disney 3-D expert, R.J. Ogren. The new 3-D effects take the Scream Zone production to a whole new level. Not only do the 3-D effects seem real, but also there are ghosts and Goblins that may just reach out and grab you. The Scream Zone has hired 23 actors who have spent hours rehearsing and who often put on more than fifty pounds of makeup and costumes on order to portray zombies and ghosts. As a warning to those who are fearless enough to go to the event, the Scream Zone is not intended for children under the age of ten, and is really geared towards teenagers and adults. If the little ones are screaming for a ghoulish adventure, a special Kids' Day "Fun Zone" is planned for October 27 from 1 to 4 p.m. The Fun Zone will include pumpkin carving, costume contests, candy, prizes, and of course trick-or-treating. th such successful artists is a testimony to the support for talented Asian Americans within the industry.

Transitions between these scenes are preempted by sound from the other narrative before the scene shift takes place. The effect of these segues suggests a strong emotive connection between the two characters bordering on the telepathic. By DESOMND BARCA Design Editor Usually when one goes to the movies, one expects to observe a series of dramatized situations and hopefully be entertained by the story, character development, musical score and visual stimuli. Most of us like to go to the movies to laugh, or to lose ourselves in a larger than life adventure or romance, and sometimes we just want to kill a few hours in a dark air-conditioned space with comfy seats. Das Experiment is definitely not a film for someone looking for this sort of light entertainment. Das experiment is Germany's official entry for Best Foreign Language Film; it has been nominated for the European Film Awards Best European Film 2001.

The majority of the Rush: Vapor Trails Tour By KURT MAYER Pride Staff Writer The legendary Canadian musical trio Rush performed live at the Coors Amphitheater in Chula Vista on Wednesday, September 25. The show was nearly sold out, and the fans were ecstatic to see one of the greatest performing bands of the last three decades - alive, well, and rocking out on tour once again. Rush is such an esteemed force in the music industry that no opening band was required; truthfully, no band could hope to compare! Rush came on stage at 8:15 and played until 11:30. The music was synchronized with hundreds of lights and lasers. Video cameras broadcast closeups of the musicians on three enormous projection screens, layered with custom animations and ambience effects. On these screens, fans watched, awestruck, as bassisi Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson performed intricate acoustic and electric guitar work, as well as keyboard work. Drummer Neil Peart brought fans to a standing ovation with a fifteen-minute drum solo on his 360-degree rotating drum kit. Awesome! The Coors Amphitheater is acoustically designed and padded with sound-reflective walls to accommodate full symphony orchestras, so the sound quality was perfect. New songs like "Earthshine" and "Ghost Rider" rang out into the night with the utmost clarity, as did classics like "The Trees" and "Red Sector A" and even the famous 1970's hit "Working Man". A Cal State San Marcos student who lives in Chula Vista, but did not attend the show, said he could hear the bass clearly from his yard. Indeed, the canyons and desert winds of Chula Vista probably enabled sound waves to resonate as far as Impe- talent to rival that of Ludwig von rial County and Mexico!

There are thousands of bands on the global music scene, but Times, styles and tastes may only a small percentage of them change, but history will remain ever attain the legendary status the judge of true genius in any of Rush; bands like Aerosmith, age. In the 2 0 Century, and into AC/DC, Metallica, U2, and Pink the 21 , it is clear that Rush will Floyd are good comparisons.

No matter what conflict is at hand, two wrongs do not make a right. Therefore, the only result of the argument is the escalation of the conflict that often turns into street fights. Really! Is skateboarding harder than inline skating or vice versa? I believe they are two different sports, and anyone who tries to say which sport is better than the other is clearly an idiot who is overgeneralizing. Little do these people, who create conflict, know that they are wasting their time. Instead offighting,they could be practicing, having fun, and not worrying about which sport is better. They overlook the fact that when they are skateboarding or inline skating they are free, not bound to the inline skater or skateboarder role of hating each other because their equipment is different. Actu- ally, skateboarders and inline skaters are very similar to one another. They are both involved in a new revolution of sports, and like to roll around to have fun. So why is it necessary to repeat the cycle of argument and disgust for one another? I know the answer. Skateboarders and inline skaters conflict with one another because they do not take the time to acknowledge the person behind the equipment, Many lack the perspective to see other athletes on terms that are different than the ones prescribed to them by their peers, socialization, or industry, Open your eyes, inline skaters and skateboarders, to each other and you may see there is a whole new world where skateboarders and inline skaters get along because they choose to see each other as a person as opposed to a symbol of something they have been taught to dislike, Louie Zamora Airs from e ramp to another. Photo courtesy of Steven Zamora. By STEVEN ZAMORA Pride Staff Writer I am sick and tired of being told to buy a skateboard, being verbally attacked^ or often col-"lidtng with skateboarders who mean to harm me just because I am an inline skater. I am also sick and tired of inline skaters getting so upset at skateboarders as to sink to their level and be the ones to start conflict or even contribute to it. If there is an overt discrimination to be seen in society, it is between skateboarders and inline skaters. I hate the feeling that I get when I'm skating at a street spot or at a skate park, and I see a skateboarder, purposely^ try. to fnake fun of 6r*even crash*into me. No one person likes to be in fear, however inline skaters must put up with it all the time. Not to say that skateboarders don't have the same feeling I have, but they are less likely to experience fear, because there are more skateboarders than inline skaters, which is apparent in society - ask yourself how many more skateboarders, on average, do you see as opposed to inline skaters? Insults that begin with "Our sport is harder than yours, fruitbooter" only further demonstrate how skateboarders are acting in a discriminatory manner toward inline skaters. However, the responses made in retaliation to the skateboarders by the inline skaters are the worst. These insults begin with, "keep on pushin' your wood; and by the way save the Capitalism starts and begins with laborers. Laborers, sometimes called proletariats, are the majority.

And of course, our work produces more to feed into the pool of products waiting to be bought. I will refrain from lecturing on the environmental effects of this type of consumerism and stick to the politics. My concern lies most in the notion that we do not realize we are pawns in a system that mostly benefits the miniscule percentage at the top of big-business and media - in other words, that we do not realize what capitalism is.

I know many of you feel this way too, given the tasty choices the Dome has to offer. We need a little variety in our food court selection, to say the least. Let's break it down. We've got a soup/salad bar, Casa Del Sol (Mexican/Burger joint), Nana's pizza and subs (the only food remotely worthy of consumption), and last and certainly least, House of Tsang. We've all heard about the overthe-summer renovations (fresher foods, bigger selection) that were to make the Dome more palatable for the students this fall. Student Gail Tarantino shared with me a personal account of what these "improvements" exactly entailed. "I went to Casa Del Sol to try the new baked chicken plate that they serve. The server pulled a As an expression of our care and concern, I ask each of us to think of ways we can acknowledge Alex Zingaro's life and honor his memory For my part, I will show that I value my fellow students by taking the time to smile or say Hi! as we pass each other between classes, cold baked chicken plate from the refrigerator, and proceeded to throw it into the fryer. When I asked the server what they were doing throwing the baked chicken plate into the fryer, they told me it was to warm it up." with cafeterias containing Taco Bells, McDonalds, and other well-known food stands. Why are CSUSM students subjected to sub-par food when other college students are actually enjoying their meals? We are students driven by our appetites. And what do we get between classes? Overcooked, marginal at best, Mexican and Chinese foo3. I'll give Nana's a little credit since it's pretty fresh and relatively palatable pizza and sandwiches. But when you sum it all up, that's really all there is. A person can only eat so much pizza before they begin to desire something more. Yet we all stand in line, like a bunch of Russians in a communist bread line. What else can we do? Rick Moore, Director of Communications at CSUSM, had this to say about the subject: "I know nothing about it, except that I've heard the matter was investigated and the major companies that looked into it found that there are not enough students here yet to support their minimum sales requirement." After trying all ten items that are on the menu throughout the past two semesters, I feel compelled to ask, "Where is the nearest Taco Bell?" There are other colleges in the San Diego area It looks like new and improved food is a diminutive priority thus far. Enrolling new students necessitates more parking spaces. When this is running smoothly we may finally have enough students, which would then allow us the ability to get more familiar food stands. However, this probably won't happen for quite some time, so hey! Have some pizza! sit next to each other on benches, or stand next to each other in elevators. What will you do?

Catching the Wave of Success By CHRIS MARTIN Pride Staff Writer Last Saturday at 8:00 a.m. at North Ponto in the north end of Carlsbad campgrounds, CSUSM held its annual Surf Team tryouts. Recognized by the National Scholastic Surfing Association (NSSA), the surf team at CSUSM placed fourth overall last season. Under the rules of the NSSA, six shortboard men and one shortboard woman constitute a team. Making the final cuts will be difficult, due to the select nature of the team and the large pool of talent available at CSUSM. add some depth.

She was a member of the NSSA National Team from 1985-1987. At USCD, where she majored in mathematics, she was part of their National Championship team and won an individual National Championship. In 1998, she graduated from UCLA with a PhD in mathematics, but before leaving she had accumulated two more NSSA individual national championships. Puha then came to CSUSM in the fall of 1999. Puha has stated, "I am thrilled to have been able to help in facilitating the development of a surf team here on campus." But she also gives credit to ASI and her team, "because without them this wouldn't be possible. With such an exemplary record, along with some very talented surfers, it's quite possible for the Cougars to rank even higher than last year." The surf team and other CSUSM teams like it are studentrun and managed by ASI ( Associated Students Inc.). Therefore, like any other ASI club sport, the team has three player representatives, which include Dave Kincannon, George Demarino, and Dustin Franks. The representatives have worked with ASI to officially register the team, organize the tryouts, and help raise funds. CSUSM is a part of the NSSA Southwest Conference and will begin competition on October 27th in Ventura, California. Lady Cougars Golf Begin an Impressive Fall Season By JESSICA A.

According to Russell Decker, director of planning, design, and construction for CSUSM, work on the building will begin immediately in the affected departments.

SEGALL For The Pride When Ted Burgos-DeStephanis and Curt Eichperger wrote research papers on the last Afri­ can king and European colo­ nialism in Haiti, ' respectively, they probably didn’t think their research papers would be read by anyone other than their profes­ sors. But the two history majors made their marks in history this past April, when they presented those research papers to hun­ dreds of college students and professors from Southern Cali­ fornia. The two took part in the Phi Alpha Theta Regional Paper Competition April 6 at Loyola Marymount University, where only 32 students from Southern California universities were chosen to present their papers. History professor, Dr. Alyssa Sepinwall, Ted Burgos-DeStephonis and Curt Eichperger Photo Courtesy of Dr: Sepinwall “We went around to different panels and heard students pres­ ent their papers,” said Burgos. “I heard one student present on the first flying automobile - it was very interesting.” For his paper, Burgos explored the life of one of the last native African kings in power before European » A r ticle cont. on pg. 3 William Sap­ phire Speaks at California C enter for the A rts William Sapphire Pride Photo/Melanie Addington ByAMYBOLASKI Graduate’Intem “Colin Powell’s decision to not crush Sadam Hussein was the greatest strategic blunder of our generation.’’ Political pundit and vet­ eran New York Times colum­ nist William Safire’s declaration elicited audible cheers from an audience composed of Cal State San Marcos’ faculty and Students, community members and local government officials on Tuesday, April *30 at the CSUSM-sponsored lecture at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido. The cost of the lecture was approximately $30,000. After a brief introduction from CSUSM president Alex­ ander Gonzalez, Safire, a self-proclaimed “Libertarian/ Republican . . . iconoclast,” covered everything from the Palestinian/Israeli conflict to National Security Advisor Com daleesa Rice’s chance at the vice-presidency to his close relationship with Israeli presi­ dent Ariel Sharon to the relative unimportance of global warm­ ing during his “What’s Going on in Washington” speech a speech he himself called a “harangue.” While some of his statements gained Safire audi­ ence approval, others provoked several attendees. “The guy’s a snake,” said PAN president. Erik Roper. “How could he pos­ sibly decide that no one’s con­ cerned with global warming? I’m dumbstruck.” Several audience members reacted with obvious distaste to Safire’s answer to an audience member’s question. A woman asked Safire how to determine whether an Islamic organiza­ tion (in the United States) was dangerous, to which Safire replied, “You do nof automati­ cally assume an Islamic orga­ nization is a threat; you » A r tic le cont. pg. 8 �Hurdling Through the Pain By JESSICA KRONE Pride Staff Writer Jason E. Williams placed a respectable second place in the 400-meter hurdle at the 74th annual Mount Sac Invitational in Walnut, California. Only the top 25 runners in the entire county are invited to race on the second day of (Sunday, April 21) this American classic. His mark of 52.5 was the fastest time of any sophomore that competed. “I didn’t do as well as I should have; it’s still a good time but not for me,” said Williams. There is not an athlete in history that has been absolutely immune to the threat of being hurt or injured. Unfortunately, the same can be said for track and field star Williams. Last Saturday at the UCSD Open Meet, Williams pulled a ham­ string, which has been hurting him for some time. “Its all part of the sport; I was running very fast and the weather was very cold,” Williams said. Williams trains at the San Marcos High School gym and is seeking assistance from a phys­ ical therapist off-campus to ice and perform ultrasounds treat­ ments on his pulled hamstring. “Just like the engine of a car that shows signs of needing to be fixed, my hamstring was showing signs, and then my engine finally blew out,” said Williams. Nevertheless, this has not stopped him from attending practice to give moral support to the rest of the team. “I have to remain positive and not going to quit even though I’m hurt.” Williams still plans to compete in the National Associ­ ation of Intercollegiate Athletics Nationals in Kansas at the end of May. “I have worked too hard to stop now,” Williams insists.

Sheath gave a presentation entitled “The Scum of the Earth: The Good, Bad, and Ugly of Algae” on Thursday as part of CSUSM’s Arts & Lectures series. “Since I studied algae, I became very interested in the subject and my main goal of the presentation was to allow others to take on the same inter­ est,” said Sheath. Many profes­ sors from CSUSM attended the lecture with an open mind to learn more about its uses and effects. Sheath is an esteemed psy­ chologist who obtained his Ph.D. in Botany at the Univer­ sity of Toronto in 1977. He has served as dean, professor and chair at numerous universities. Sheath received the Darbaker Prize from the Botanical Soci­ ety of America in 1997 and was nominated for the Teaching Excellence Award at the Uni­ versity of Rhode Island.

Stu­ dents who participated were free to write on anything historical, and papers that were selected for theTcompetition were presented at Loyola Marymount in a setup similar to a professional histori­ cal conference. “Except that it’s for students,” said Burgos. In his paper, “What to Do, Where to Go? Decisions for the White People of Santo Domingo After the Insurrection of the Blacks,” Eichperger delved into the aftermath of the revolutions against European colonizers in Santo Domingo (the former name of Haiti). “He showed how one group that had all this power and under­ went all these transitions dealt with losing power after the slaves revolted and gained power,” said Sepinwall. Eichperger had writ­ ten the paper in Sepinwall’s His­ tory 301 class last fall, in which students focused on relations between the U.S. and Haiti at the end of the 18th century. “Both papers were very well researched and well written, and they presented with a lot of poise,” said Sepinwall. “It was a great experience for us, and especially for those fieds SW IM INSTRUCTO RS $10 $16 per hour 760-744-7946 Fraternities ~ Sororities ~ C lubs ~ Sports Teams - Stu­ dent Groups E arn $1000 - $2000 w ith the easy Cam pus Fundraiser three hour fundraising event.

With a wall of black diner-like seat cushions behind them, which is used to keep the noise low for the surrounding residen­ tial neighborhood, Beulah began with great enthusiasm. When asked to describe the type of music they play, Bill Swan, gui­ tarist, trumpet player and one of the singers of the band, said, “I would definitely classify us as rock n’ roll, but you’ll have to make up your own mind on the matter.” The band is definitely the Beatles of the 21st century, with its upbeat rhythms mixed with fun, sixties-like lyrics. But the intense guitar overlay, synthe­ sizer and the awesome trumpet action make it feel like a defi­ nite solid part of our generation hot to mention the hundred or so, bouneing, lively, twenty-some­ things that crowded the small dance floor. Despite the annoying feed­ back that occurred a few times during the show, the band gave a spectacular performance and kept everyone excited. When fin­ ished, the band was encored and played a few more songs, ending at close to two in the morning, a stan­ dard at t he REVIEW Casbah. When asked how the band started, Swan stated, “It was actually an accident. It was a side project that somehow worked.” The band slowly came together in the fall of 1997, but got off the floor in 1999. Beulah has toured the U.S., Europe and Canada and is on a coast-to-coast tour of the U.S. The tour, entitled “The Coast is Never Clear,” started in Denver, CO., sold out in L.A., and is ending on May 4 in its hometown of San Francisco. On April 16, Beulah made a guest appearance on The Conan O’Brien Show, a sign that they are quickly moving their way up. Beulah is a band that will definitely leave its mark on the music industry. CSUSM Play Performed at Vista Playhouse By MARTHA SARABIA News Editor “Dona Criba,”: a Cal State San Marcos school play, which premiered last December, was performed at Vista’s AVO Play­ house on Friday and Saturday. What started as a school play has now become a play for the community of the North County area, especially for the Spanish speaking community. Almost all of the actors and actresses in this play are CSUSM students who have formed a theater group called Dionysus. According to Carlos von Son, CSUSM professor of Spanish, the group decided to name the group after the Greek god, Dionysus, who was the god of theater. Besides stu­ dents whose first language is Spanish, this theater group also includes students whose first lan­ guage is English, as well as other languages. Actresses of two of the tnain characters expressed their enthu­ siasm at being part of this play. Lucinda Bernardino, a Liberal Studies and Spanish major, added, “We’re very happy to be in this play with Mr. Von Son.” Soledad Acuna, a Spanish major, said, “I feel very proud, some­ thing that makes me feel very important even though I don’t make anything financially. It is something that makes me feel proud; it’s going to be forever, for me, for my family, and for the rest of my descendants.” Although the students are not receiving any credit for doing this, many are happy to just be a part of it. Bernardino said, “It’s been a great experience ... None of us are getting any credi^for school, none of us have been forced to do it, we just do it have Spanish entertainment,” Bernardino said. Von Son also said, “With the large population of Spanish-speaking immigrants; it’s really a need for this type of event.” Due to the interest of stu­ dents in theater, von Son said, “We’re in the process of draft- A Scene from “ Dona Criba ” Pride Photo/Martha Sarabia because we like it a lot.” Acuna added, “We really enjoy it.” Von Son said, “I feel so proud of my students. They have done a beautiful job. They are volun­ teering their time and so much work and effort.” Both also said that they never thought that after performing “Dona Criba” for CSUSM they would perform it to the outside community. How­ ever, von Son was asked to bring this play to the community by Vista’s AVO Playhouse. “It’s also to contribute to our own people who don’t really Respected. ing a proposal needed to offer a Spanish theater minor. Hope­ fully, one day we can have a minor in theater in Spanish ... It would be aligned with the goals of the university, with our mis­ sion statement. It would be a cel­ ebration of diversity.” About 130 and 145 people went to see the play on Friday and Saturday respectively. Dona Criba, written by von Son, is about the impact of technology in a small town in Mexico, and how this affects the lives of its people. mm Innovative. w w m * II M I 11 I m i s MBE Compassionate.

Sulte 107 San Marcos, C A 92078 the Ralphs Shopping Center *':' �S top Com plaining and Look in the Mirror By Erik Roper For The Pride This past semester, the stu­ dents of Cal State San Marcos elected me to be ASI Corporate Secretary for next year. It was highly encouraging to know that out of the 6600+ students here at CSUSM, there were at least 633 who thought I’d do a good job. To those of you who voted, I say, “much respect, and thank you for supporting democracy (no doubt it was all those people.with flags on their cars down in the parking lot.”) But that’s not why I’m writ­ ing this piece. After the election, one of my colleagues, who also ran for office, told me something that made my jaw drop. Apparently, there were more than a few stu­ dents that had talked to this other prospective student leader during the campaigning period before the election, about me, and said that they didn’t want to see me elected because they felt I rep­ resented an undesirable element. An undesirable element that they felt there was already too much of around here and that they didn’t want to see more of on this campus. My colleague told me that some students who talked to him felt that I seemed too radi­ cally liberal, and they were also worried that my election might trigger a fundamental shift in the political climate of the student body. He said some students were saying (with obvious dismay in their voices) things like, “. . .next thing you know this place is going to be crazy and crawling with student activists, like Berke­ ley.” When I heard that, I had to laugh. Believe me; the last thing I would ever want is for CSUSM to turn into another Berkeley. Just think about how horrible that would be. Who wants to be surrounded by a bunch of socially conscious students dis­ satisfied with the status quo who passionately care about the world they live in and who actually do stuff to try and make it better? Not me, that’s for sure. No really, I’m serious, I think it’s so much better that we are on a campus that is the exact opposite. For me, there’s nothing more amus­ ing than to hear many o f my fellow students bitch and moan about how this place sucks so bad and then watch the vast majority of them do absolutely nothing to try and make it better. You know, lately the weather’s been kind of chilly, but that’s no prob­ lem because with all the hot air that blows out of many stu­ dents’ mouths, I can wear shorts and T-shirts 24-7. But actually, I shouldn’t be so hard on my fellow students because sometimes, just for kicks, I blow hot air myself. For instance, I recently sent an e-mail to the Inter-Club Council(ICC) list-serve in which I ripped on The Pride in brutal fashion saying, “(The Pride) was boring, lame, and worst of all, highly irrelevant.” This statement angered some people, especially in light of the fact that, at the time, I’d done absolutely nothing this semester to try and make The Pride better. Since then I’ve talked with one of the edi­ tors, become educated about the myriad of difficulties faced by publishing a student paper (one of the biggest problems being that they simply just need more quality student input), commit­ ted myself to submitting pieces to The Pride, and began urging those I know to do likewise. So, I guess you could say I’ve learned a lesson. The lesson being (how­ ever cliche) that action speaks louder (and is a helluva lot more effective) than words. A wise person once said, “Accepting the absurdity of everything around us is one step, a necessary experience: it should not become a dead end. It arouses a revolt that can become fruit­ ful.” In other words, if you see something around CSUSM that’s wrong, stupid, inefficient, or just plain sucks, don’t just complain about it, DO SOMETHING. It seems that in our society (and especially here at CSUSM) a majority of us have bought into the notion that we are passive powerless victims who have to accept whatever THEY have in store for us, as if our lives were meant to be lived as nothing more than mindless, easily-manipu­ lated consumers who have no choice but to take whatever it is THEY’re shovelin’. Mindless Passive Powerless Easily-Manip­ ulated Victim Consumers - Is that how you see yourself? One of these days I’m going to make myself a t-shirt that says, “YOU ARE THEY.” I often hear fellow students (and I’ve been guilty of this myself) saying, “THEY should offer better food in the Dome.” or “THEY should provide us with more fun activities/events on campus.” or “THEY should make this place more colorful.” or “The Pride sucks; THEY should make it cooler.” or “THEY shouldn’t make our social security num­ bers be our student ID numbers.” or “THEY should ________ (fill in the blank).” Wow! THEY sure seem to have a lot of responsi­ bilities. Maybe the reason THEY weren’t able to attend to all these suggestions is because THEY were busy with all their other obligations. In the meantime, what were you doing? Yeah, I know the story; you’ve got a family, a job, your sanity to maintain, and somehow you still have to make time to get some of this school nonsense done. So, you ask, “When would I possibly have time to do some­ thing about these things I see that need changing?” I don’t know. That’s something you’re going to have to answer for yourself. What I can tell you is that you’re not powerless and you don’t have to settle for the status quo if you don’t want to. Another wise person said, “Sentiment without action is the ruin of the soul.” Think The Pride sucks? Start contributing to the publication. Think the food in the Dome sucks? Go talk to the manager Melanie and ask her what you have to do to get some changes rolling. Think there should be more cool events for students on campus? Go talk to the people in SRL and ASI and ask how you can help out (What do you REALLY think about the new logo THEY’re proposing to adopt without student input). Think CSUSM shouldn’t use your SSN as your student ID number? Go ask someone in the admissions office (right next to the rectangle of trees in Founders’ Plaza) for the form you have to fill out to get a new and improved, random, computer-generated student ID number, which should take you all of five minutes. Think smok­ ers shouldn’t smoke in the U-Hall stairwell? Go talk to facilities and ask if they’ll move the ashtrays and put up no smoking signs in the stairwell, and if they refuse you might consider getting a peti­ tion started or getting the sup­ port of the student health center. No one student can fix every­ thing that needs fixin’ here at CSUSM. There are a handful of students around here who try. But the sad truth of the matter is that we won’t accomplish much unless more students contribute. Every time you complain but don’t do anything to try and make whatever it is you’re complaining about better, not only are you not helping, but you’re actually part of the problem. If you want -to be even more honest with your­ self, you’ll realize that every time you say, “THEY suck . . with­ out any action, what you’re really saying is that, “I suck . . . ” because we all have the power to change the world we live in (especially here in the CSUSM microcosm). So, next time you feel like going off on one of those THEY this and THEY that rants, remember YOU ARE THEY. Inside The Mind of a Conservationist, Clarity While Surfing By Ray Hines For The Pride The environment has a finite amount to give to support life. The same water that I surfed in this morning could have been the water that Cleopatra bathed in centuries ago. I believe I am connected to all other things on Earth because I am made up of the same substances. Very few elements make up a living being, and the fact that we consider the living to have power oyer the non-living assumes that we are more important. That assump­ tion couldn’t be further from the truth. All living, or biotic, compo­ nents of this planet depend on the non-living, or abiotic, com­ ponents to provide vitamins and minerals to sustain life. I think of the wolves walking around in Northern Minnesota looking for a place to deliver their spring pups deserve the same right to a home as a Seattle e-commerce executive. I feel my role on this planet is to do as little harm as I can to my living counterparts and try to use as little of my non-living counterparts as le a n to ensure future generations the same necessities. I also feel that mankind is an important and exceptional creature. We have the capacity and intelligence to destroy and create. I think it is man’s job to figure out how to become self-sufficient and in this day of technology and organi­ zation, this ability is going to come through hardship and force. I have confidence that man can procure his own future, but he has to be willing to accept the responsibility and challenge of doing so. Living things can either defend themselves or they cannot. As it says in the Bible, “What you do to the least of your broth­ ers that you do unto me.” It is linked to the Native American belief, “Mother Earth, Sister Sky, Brother Eagle, and Father Moon.” Each of these things is considered whole and by giving them names, we have given them recognition. This relates to both relationships between people and relationships between things, I have studied a lot of science, and it even falls true in chemical reactions, there is always a factor that is limiting and that key factor decides the fate of the overall reaction. I take time to think of ways to behave in an environmentally friendly way. I carry a Vi liter water bottle and fill it as many as eight times a day. This assures me that I am drinking enough water as well as reducing eight cups worth of litter from the land­ fill or eight containers worth of recycling. I drink water because it is easiest for my body to digest. Also, it can be consumed with­ out much packaging, commer­ cials, or excessive transportation. I know it’s just water we’re talk­ ing about, but a lot of thought can go into such a simple thing. I try to buy nature-friendly, wellbuilt products (even if they cost a little more) to comply with the “reduce, reuse, recycle” strategy. Quality products last longer (or stay out of the landfill longer, however you look at it) and need to be replaced less. I have taken* several courses in the past few semesters that are related directly to environ­ mental studies. I have looked for­ ward to political science courses to help me (a biology student) understand how our government policies are formed. Also, I have taken voting very seriously since I turned 18. I try to research thoroughly before I vote. I have become a member of KPBS public radio and listen daily in an effort to stay in tune with what is going on politically in my world. I don’t really like the cur­ rent political system, but I under­ stand nothing is easy when a lot of people are involved and that allows me to have patience and hope for our future. I don’t watch television at home. I have a VCR that I use to watch videos and documenta­ ries I can get from the library on topics I am interested,in. I haven’t watched regular TV or cable for over 10 years on a reg­ ular basis. This has allowed me more time to be outside, enjoying the planet that I try to consider in my daily actions. It gives my friends and I time to enjoy each other and discover our many tal­ ents, namely playing music and sports. I think it is important to know that you are a special person and to recognize why you are that way. When it rains and runoff pollutes the ocean where I surf, it affects my whole person. When I hear about some environ­ mental catastrophe somewhere that too leaves me unsettled. I feel like we are all con­ nected, so a problem in one geographic location doesn’t just affect the people there, it affects everybody. I, too, affect the envi­ ronment with everything I do. I breathe out carbon dioxide. I eat of the biomass that makes up resources for other, more effi­ cient animals. I am a poor heat conserver. I have to eat from a higher tropic level to gain energy to keep myself warm. I drive a car like everyone else, and our exhaust emits tons of pollutants into the air. I demand light when it’s dark outside, burning coal for my electricity. I buy things that come in non-renewable, nondegradable packaging because they “just come that way.” I flush my self-generated waste down the toilet and off to some energy intensive treatment plant before it ends up in the very water I am swimming in. I can’t think of very many things I do that don’t affect the environment, except perhaps sitting in a quiet place and enjoying it. I traded my gas guzzling, machine-oriented sports in for nature friendly ones. I used to dirt bike, water-ski, snowmobile, street bike, and those sorts of things, but now I cross-country ski, snowboard, bicycle, kayak, windsurf, sail, and surf for excite­ ment. I also teach adults to sail and windsurf. In my lectures, I point out the environmental ben­ efits of them choosing a winddriven sport for their recreation. I encourage them to turn other people on to the sport and request that they all complete a Cal Boat­ ing test. This test is actually a way of sending a message to Sac­ ramento that people in Southern California are concerned about their safety and the condition of their bays and waterways. Each time a test is sent to the capitol, to the Department of Boating and Waterways, it says one more person is concerned. I feel that these small changes in myself and the way that my position as a teacher can influence people’s decisions has helped to better the environment in some small way.

Rightconservatives prefer self-govern­ ment on economic issues but want official standards in per­ sonal matters. The high point in the eve­ ning came when Safire, trying to be politically correct when an obviously racist female in the crowd asked how we could find out which of the Muslim groups are dangerous in this country, began quite respectfully, saying that you can in no way even think that, just as if no Jewish organi­ zation or any other group could or should be considered danger­ ous based on their racial, reli­ gious or ethnic identity, which William Safire greatly amused the overly-stuffed shirts at the California Center for the Arts on Tuesday, April 30, and yet failed to arouse much of a reaction, aside from nausea, out of those few liberals who decided to stomach his one-hour speech Cal State San Marcos bought and paid for.

You can help yourself, the environment, and me. You can save energy, produce money, and reduce the trash that is dumped into our landfills. Your con­ science has been nagging you: “Environment, environment, I know there’s some kind of crisis. What can I do?” Start here, where you eat. Here are a few suggestions: How many napkins do you need? A big pile or one? When you take a pile, they fall on the floor and then are disposed of, unused. Also, in the Dome’s out­ side area, the wind blows the unused napkins all over, making an unsightly mess - not a fun place for you and your guests to dine. What a waste of money and of the trees that the napkins are made from. What can you do? Take ONE napkin. Yes, you can recycle, right here. We are fortunate that Cal State San Marcos has placed recycling containers inside and outside the Dome, within easy reach. It’s convenient to put your aluminum cans and plastic bot­ tles, glass bottles and your news­ papers (or almost any kind of half-eaten tuna sandwich or your paper in the appropriate contain­ three-day old salsa and mayon­ ers; they are clearly labeled.

The food spatters onto the ceiling and walls of the microwave oven and clings. Your fellow students exclaim, “Who was that pig?” Without those smelly remnants, the microwave will cook more efficiently. See, you’re already saving electricity and money. Before cooking, put something on top of the food, like that one napkin you are going to use later. Did I say leave the food tightly enclosed in its original wrapper or container? No, you need to open it and then cover it, that is unless you’re enrolled in “Explo­ sions 101.” HA VE A N OPINION?

Most classes that will meet on Monday will have to take their final on a Sat­ urday. This is an outrage and should be changed immediately. I am bold enough to say, boy­ cott all classes that will be hold­ ing Saturday finals unless the To the Editors: I recently read the article, “Spring Break Packs Action in Rpsarito.” The clear intent of this travel article is to promote heavy drinking, partying, and fighting that leads to incarcera­ tion. I find it appalling in these times of school support for pro­ grams like DARE and MADD that students brag about irre­ sponsible drinking and alcoholic tendencies. The author refers to “cases of beer that are gone by noon” and feeling good after drinking four coco locos (a Who are these guys, anyway? Who are the women and men who run the current White House administration? Can you name some mentionable life story about any .three of them?

I know several people who work weekends and having to take that one day off will be a major incon­ venience. I heard others say that they depend on the bus to get to school and that the Saturday bus schedule does not accommo­ date them on Saturday as it does during the week. I even heard some people say that it’s only one “powerful drink packed with six different liquors.”) When arrested by Mexican police, he is not scared “because he had been in the Rosarito jail the year before.” Statistics show that twice as many students have died at the hands of drunk driv­ ers since the terrible 9/11 attack than were killed in the terrorist tragedy. Using a travel article to have another night of “dancing, drinking and debauchery” is a sad commentary on college life.

I know of one person at Cal State San Marcos that works weekends and To the Editors: In last weeks issue of The Pride, there* was a paid adver­ tisement about the denial of benefits and disability. I have read many articles in The North County Times about Cal State San Marcos’ high-up people dis­ criminating against other lower staff members. It saddens me, and makes me ashamed to go to this school. This school has a great mission statement and pushes all students to be accept­ ing, tolerant, and open-minded. I wonder if the chancellor and the administration believe in the mission statement and act accordingly. I have also noticed that To the Editors: *Editor’s Note* This is a response to a letter in last week’s Pride. Excuse me, I do go to a real university; Cal State San Marcos is a real university. For ydur information, CSUSM is a step above junior college. Many stu­ dents go to Mira Costa or Palomar junior college in order to transfer to a four-year univer­ sity, like CSUSM. Some will go to UCSD or UCLA, and many will come to CSUSM. You don’t have to question our intellect; if he takes Saturday off, he has to take Sunday off as well. That’s a whole week of his pay lost because the school doesn’t know how to schedule its finals properly. When looking at a classes to take, I would think the final would be sometime around when that class meets, or at least the days that class is scheduled during the semester. What were CSUSM MOST, ’not all, of the admin/ staff/and faculty here at CSUSM do not have the students’ best interest in mind. They are not helpful, not courteous, and give wrong information. CSUSM is unlike other more established schools because our school has very few good or useful depart­ ments to help students succeed and have a good college experi­ ence. Can I contact anyone about how I feel? Will my opinion make a difference? Or do these people pay little attention to the students? Jessica Bliss - Student it sounds like a personal issue. Maybe you, like your pompous family and friends, should go somewhere else. And I enjoyed reading tfye writer’s article. It is good to find something happy to read about in the paper. Not all of us are preoccupied with the bad. So to the author of “Spring Break Packs Action in Rosarito,” keep writing those fun stories; some us do enjoy them. And, if I ever read something I don’t like, I won’t read it again. Katie A. - Student class schedulers thinking when they did this? What about the professors; how come they aren’t making any noise about having to come in on Saturday? The professors may just send in a TA to give us the final and be relax­ ing at home, or maybe they are just unaware of this as I found many students to be. Noah Smith - Student To The Editors: I have a possible solution to the recent debate over cig­ arette smoke. Place Breath-alizers, similar to the ones used to detect alcohol, in front of classrooms to check people’s nicotine level. Cigarette packs could include specially treated little straws that people could use to blow into the tester. The results would appear on a scale of 1 to 3: one cough - proceed to class, two coughs - retest, and at non-stop coughing - he or she would have to proceed to a referee station consisting of a cage of pigeons. If the offend­ ing party cannot recite his or her A, B, C’s without making the little guys gag, he or she would be in violation. In keep­ ing with the school’s writing requirement, I suggest having them write an essay titled, “Smoke, Choke, and Croak” or something to that effect.

You don’t do to Muslim-Americans what we did to Japanese Americans in World War II.” Sapphire then followed this statement by jokingly stat­ ing, “You don’t racially profile, of course, unless someone with a beard and turban happens to be standing near you at an airport.” Safire had begun his lecture with less incendiary topics, dis­ cussing his history as a lexicog­ rapher and his 20-year stint as a Times columnist, relating per­ sonal anecdotes about his rela­ tionships with Barbara Walters, President Bush, Rice, Sharon and Powell. He then spent a good part of his lecture ruminating about the state of the nation and the Middle East after September 11. “What’s developing now is the president deciding that he’s got to do some­ thing to work with the Saudis and get them to moderate Arafat, as he would moderate Sharon. Leadership Awards » A rticle cont. from pg. 1 Carman, and the “Peasiest” (PEAS) health educator of the year award was given to Claudia Tafoya. ASI gave its “Board Member of the Year” award to Corporate Secretary Tammy Rodriguez. The “Best New or Revived Student Organization” award went to the Pan African Student Alli­ ance, the “Outstanding Collabora­ tive Event” award was presented for the “Cougar Club Mixer,” sponsored by Sigma Iota Epsilon, Alpha Chi Omega, Priority, Latin World USA, and the Accounting Society. The “Best Program of the Year” designation was given for the 9th Annual CSUSM Pow Wow, sponsored by AISA and the “Most Outstanding Student Orga­ nization 2002” was presented to the Alpha Xi Delta Sorority. Sharon is being made out to look like a monster,” Safire said, “but he’s trying to make a deal. Most Americans say, well, if someone attacks you, you attack back. The same goes for Israel. The general feeling is that the Palestinians are under attack by Israel, but that’s only what we see here.” An audience member asked Safire if the public’will support placing troops without a “real” declaration of war. Safire said, “[Declarations of war] are appar­ TWIN V m i m Ik ently out. There hasn’t been one since World War II. I ’m with you - we should ask for a declaration of war before going into Iraq to do what we did in Germany and Japan - to introduce democracy to Iraq. Who knows what might happen?” In addition to discussing the ongoing tension in the Middle East, Safire openly acknowledged the need to attend to domestic policy as well. “Who knew his [Bush’s] presidency would be a foreign-policy presidency?” he said. “We have a president who came in relatively uninformed about foreign policy. [Bush] is a president who’s becoming inun­ dated with info from his capital. The best thing is that he has not resented that he is being coun­ seled by people smarter than he is.” William Safire’s column appears regularly in the op/ed pages of the New York Times. ■ Guaranteed Auto Service ProfessionaiTechnicians Tune-up & Brakes Full Service Car Care!

Stacy said he is confident that Lusardi will "extend every effort to get construction moving." Albert Amado, vice president of Physical Planning and Campus Construction said in an earlier interview that the phase one stage of work is a "critical path for the project." He said that delays, such as that created by the Louetto-Poss dispute, could start a "major chain reaction" resulting in a setback in the construction of the new campus's buildings. Amado said the campus will open on time providing no more setbacks occur in the building process. SEE CAMPUS/PAGE 5 Spanish book center t o boost world awareness for youth L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER As part of the university's goal of creating an atmosphere of global awareness, a Center for the Study of Books in Spanish for Children and Adolescents is scheduled to open at CSUSM on Dec. 6. The Center, the only one of its kind in the world, will contain books in Spanish for children and adolescents and books for youths in English about Hispanics. "The main purpose of the Center is to get children to read," said Dr. Isabel Schon, director of the Center and a member of CSUSM's founding faculty. Schon said the forthcoming facility is the only one in the world that collects all recent books in Spanish for children. The Library of Congress contains some as does the Library in Mexico City, she said. "When I first came to the States, it hit me very hard that there was nothing for Hispanics to read." ISABEL FOUNDING SCHON/ FACULTY "Having lived in Mexico, I was aware of how many children do not have access to books," Schon said. "When I first came to the States, it hit me very hard that there was nothing for Hispanics to read." Schon said that many of the books available express negative views and stereotype Hispanic culture. "Why not get positive things o f' both cultures," said Schon. "Many people don' t know or understand other groups. W e're basically all humans." Schon said that, with a growing Hispanic population in this country, cultural awareness needs to be expanded to increase production in the work place. She mentioned how little the United States understands its neighbors to the south. "Unfortunately, many Anglo and Hispanic students d on't realize how much joy and beauty there is in the Mexican people," SEE CENTER/PAGE 5 �MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUND Steps can be taken to prevent colds, flu With this column, I would like to dispel a few common misconceptions about the dreaded "Flu." Generally people use the word flu to describe a host of illnesses whose miseries range from nasal congestion to chest congestion and coughing to gastrointestinal symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. True "Influenza" is one of the three types A, B, or C and is a highly contagious acute viral disease that spreads rapidly among large groups, especially in close environments like classrooms, work sites and dormitories. Actually it can spread rapidly CSUSM Professor Duff Brenna has found publishing success with his book, "The Book of Mamie." Brenna is currently working on another novel and hopes "Mamie" will be produced as a motion picture. across the population and in some years (usually even ten or so) it can affect 20 to 30 percent of the population.

Profs experience fuels novel HEALTHNOTES D R. J O E L 6 R t N O L OS Each year a new vaccine is produced by using the viral strain that is expected to be prevalent in December and January. The vaccine is usually available in October or November because after vaccination ittakes two to eight weeks for antibodies to develop. As an aside, it is of interest to note that viruses travel around the globe from the far east to our west coast. By knowing the viruses in the far east that year, out public health officials develop a vaccine bases on those viruses that will reach the U.S. in the winter. The vaccine is usually about 75 percent effective in preventing the flu and may also reduce the severity of the flu. Anybody, for the most part, can get the vaccine, but some people definitely should be vaccinated. The groups that are considered high risk are people with chronic illness especially lung disease including asthma, people with depressed immunity, anyone 55-years-old or older, and people who are in the medical profession or are caretakers of high risk persons. Also, unlike the common cold and not widely known by the public, is the fact that Influenza A can be treated with a drug called Amantadine. It is most helpful if given as soon as possible after the onset of the flu. It frequently shortens the illness and reduces its severity. As opposed to the self-care recommended for managing the common cold, if one recognizes the early signs of Influenza, it is recommended to see your health care provider to determine if Amantadine would be of benefit. In future columns, I would like to respond to questions regarding your health. You can submit your questions by placing them in the envelope posted on the bulletin board outside of Student Health Services.

" A lot of global understanding through reading of books can be communicated to the young. These discussions will supply understandings and misunderstandings of people," Schon said. The Center will be used as an educational institute for exposing teachers and librarians to Hispanic literature. Schon said the Center plans on holding an annual conference with authorities from Mexico and educators in the ñeld attending. "It* s important to get a date for the conference that is convenient for teachers and librarians," she said. Schon said that, because the Center is educational in nature, the costs will b e relatively low. Publishers interested in the project have sent a great majority of the books to the Center without charge. NEWS 5 "Once publishers understand the project, they send review copies," Schon stated. Schon, who was born in Mexico City, has worked with vendors in Spain and Latin America and has communicated with vendors in those countries. She said that growth for the Center's collection will be a continued requirement to insure obtaining the . most recent books. Dr. Lyndon W. Searfoss, professor of Reading and Library Science at Arizona State University, will speak at the Center* s opening about international language arts. New books will be displayed at the opening and a welcome by Dr. Bill Stacy, president of CSUSM, will be delivered. Schon said that, because of space constraints, attendance at the Center's December opening will be limited to 60 people. Visitors can browse through the collection and view publishers' displays of books. Refreshments will be served at the opening. The deadline for registering for the event is Nov. 21.

While walking into the class, my study partner summed it all up: "I can write my notes from beginning to end, but I doubt I can answer a question." The custom of using high-pressure, get-set-go evaluation is academia's last relic of the Dark Age. As my friend's statement i mp lies, t he process is so great to InstaRegurgitation, I am finding that I literally wash my memory of a subject at P I O N E E R O P I N I O N E DITOR the end of the latest t est The great educator Alfred North Whitehead has stated, "The really useful training yields a comprehension of a few general principles with a thorough grounding in the way they apply to a variety of concrete details." In other words, the best education is full of skill and process, not fact and definition. This begs the original question: Are midterm^and finals a test of our "comprehension of a few general principles?" Put differently, are we being better equipt to solve the problems of life and business because we could literally recompose our notes? I pray that we are never the better of beasts by memory alone. I am suggesting that a more effective evaluation of the attributes we aspire to teach is the less harried project approach. Particularly at a time when writing skills are enjoying unprecedented emphasis, the term paper is a welcome device. Likewise, group e fforts develop and test most of the important elements of the "right s tuff:" leadership, communication, compromise, negotiation, and consolidation. Unfortunately, the bulk of academia, staff and students, is geared against the planning arid prodding that are the hallmarks of the successful project or paper. Teachers and learners likewise lean to the test as the quickest, and so easiest, means to evaluate and finish. At the same time, we sacrifice each other on the pressure-point day. Can this carnage have a meaning I have missed in my confession of madness? Supposing for a moment that the test does measure a quality that the student knows. Given that it assesses abilities to collect and perform underpressure. Arguably, the search and pacing of a paper do these things and more, such as developing writing and organization skills. Certainly, the group project, while harder to grade, is instantly revealing of stars and missing fits. Admitting that the midterm alerts the professor to soft performers, the developmental nature of the term project allows forricherand more frequent interaction, and only more learning can come of this. Everyone's experience is enriched when the mentor stands by the learner's side. I 'm mad as hell. W e all lost out on that experience.

ANONYMOUS Who decides, whether there will be a war in the Persian Gulf? Is it our dynamic Congress which, at least constitutionally, is given the power? Or President Bush, vicariously elevating the testosterone by sending everyone in uniform, short of Campfire Girls, to the Saudi beach party? Is it Saddam Hussein, maligned by merely emulating past U.S. "actions" in Guatemala, Panama, Nicaragua, the Philippines, et al? Or how about the Israelis performing their daily version of Krystall Nacht on Palestinian Arabs? The answer is None of the Above, because the real power of war and peace lies between your nose and chin. Since your impatience for riddles may exceed even mine, let me quickly get to the heart of the matter. Unless you're truly into sand sculpting, or testing dune buggies, you know the Arabian Peninsula holds absolutely no attraction for the average American except for the billions of gallons of crude oil upon which it sits. You also know that between 10 and 20 percent of the oil we consume comes from this region. So the choices appear to be either go to war to maintain our present standard of living, or cut down on our oil consumption. The present buildup in the Persian Gulf suggests that Bush thinks we prefer conflict over conservation. Perhaps that's because we associate cutbacks of food energy to each one calorie of fuel energy with pain. But I 'm now going to tell you how to invested." By my calculation, that's a 1200-toend America's dependence on foreign oil, 1 efficiency advantage.

T hat's not counting the drinking water that a According to a report from the American 1968 Environmental Protection Agency report Society of Agricultural Engineers, "60 calories of petroleum energy must be plowed into the reveals is polluted by livestock meat producsoil to harvest one food calorie from animal tion.

When the rain falls on the feedlots, thousands of tons of excrement are washed into the nearestriver,polluting untold billions of gallons of precious drinking water, often upstream from cities and towns." Okay, so I ruined your appetite a little, but none of us has to become vegetarians to keep us out of war in the Mid East. A 25 percent cutback in meat consumption would eliminate our dependence on foreign oil. In the event of a ground war with Iraq, American casualties alone are estimated to go as high as 100,000.

The choice is yours. ~ K EN CARTER/PIONEER College should have foreseen problems I t's hard to believe that CSUSM officials couldn't foresee the troubles that lay ahead when they contracted Louetto Construction Inc. to work on the new campus.

The Escondido c lub's name is British, descending from the Himalayan Tribesmen that comprise a reputable company in the British Army. Their game, however, is played not only in Britain, but is one of the top amateur sports in France, Wales, New Zealand, Australia, and the United States. The Gurkha's are only one team out of about 20 in Southern California that play the game of Rugby. Ray Steel, the Escondido Rugby Football Club director, said that Rugby is a misunderstood game. Some even say i t's hard to differentiate it from Australian Rules Football and a street brawl. He explained that Rugby originated from soccer, when a disenchanted player decided to change the rules. "He started running with the ball in his arms," said Steel, "and the other guys d idn't like that so they tackled him. "And that's how Rugby got started." he object of Rugby is similar to most field games: get the ball over the goal line. In this fast-paced game, however, there is no stopping. There is a moving line of scrimmage, established by the ball carrier. Because players cannot go in front of this line of scrimmage, the ball can only be passed laterally or backwards. Yardage is gained by running or kipking the ball. Even though a player is stopped by being tackled, the play doesn't end. Any player from either team can get the ball and continue. Another factor f or the continuous game is that no player can be replaced. The teams enter the field at the start of the game and only leave for a five minute half time break. Each half lasts 4 0 minutes. It w asn't until the 1960s that players were allowed to leave due to injuries. Before, players were required to continue playing regardless of pain. "You can only be replaced by injury," said John Hammond, the Gurkha's coach. "The same players go in and play the entire ' game." A team is allocated two replacements per game for injuries. Goals count as four-points, with the extra point scoring two. Both drop kicks and Penalty Kicks count as three-points. Australia New Zealand Wales America Britain So.

This continual play i s where Rugby got the impression of a street brawl, but Steel explained that i t's a gentle game.

S " A large part of the game is the friends that you meet on your own team and on other teams," he said. "I have a lot of friends in other R ugbyjeams around San Diego. "Being friends doesn't stop us from playing hard on the field, but afterwards we can talk about with the other guys and have a few beers or something. That's a large part of the game." On the Gurkha's recruitment flyers, it promotes friendship and a party after each practice and game. Steel explained that this is a great attribute, and exclusive to Rugby. "In football, especially, y ou're out there to kill the enemy and you certainly d on't want to socialize with them afterwards," Steel said. "In Rugby you can kill the enemy, but the enemy can kill you as well. So the game is not for people who like to go out and stick people.

John Hammond seemed to have a prepared speech as he addressed the Escondido Rugby Football Club with that statement. His confidence d idn't come from preparation, however, it came from experience. Hammond, also known as "Hammy" or "Hamster," i sn't a stranger to the game of Rugby. H e's coached for the last 20 years in a country where Rugby is the national sport: New Zealand. His love for the warm weather of Southern California brought him to Escondido, where h e's been contracted to coach their Rugby team, the Gurkha's.

Hammond said that Rugby is played by all ages in New Zealand, "right on down to the 8-year-olds." Hammond himself started playing the game when he was 10-years-old. "When you're a player, you become public property," Hammond said. "The town feels like they own you. "There's a lot of pride being a Rugby player, especially in a smaller community, the closeknit towns." Commitment is a big part of being a player. Although i t's not mandatory, players usually stay in with their original club and the game is passed down through the generations. " That's what makes it so strong," Hammond said.

And harken to my side, for I have something true to confide. Ladies fair and knights of old still engage in joyous revelry at the Camelot Inn in San Marcos. This traditional English pub abounds with olde world spirit and charm. Lively conversations liberally laced with the burr of the Scottish, the lilt of the Irish, or the "real English" of the Britains can be heard around the pub. To keep everyone in good cheer, Camelot has on tap a variety of British beer. Harp, Watney's, Guiness, John Courage, Bass, Newcastle, McEwan's, Blackthorn Cider and Carlsberg flow from the taps. They also have a fine variety of imported beers and Scotch. To ease the hunger pains, Camelot serves food with British names. Dinner takes on an interesting flair when the choice of entrees include: Toad in the Hole, Steak and Kidney Pie, Bangers Beans and Chips, and Cod in Hand. The prices are moderate, from $6.50 for Sheppard's Pie to $12.50 for Prime Rib with Yorkshire Pudding. Friday nights are special true, for the little people come and sing for you. The Sandlewoods perform Irish folk music from 8:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. The entertainment is suitable for the whole family; with people singing along and occasionally dancing a jig. Friday nights are quite popular and, because reservations are not accepted, it is necessary to get there early. Darts are played by amateurs and pros alike. They even have team sports on Monday night. Like every good country pub, Camelot has dart games that are very serious. It has three dart boards and sponsors two dart teams in the National Dart Association's Monday night team competitions. The pub provides house darts for the friendly noncompetition games. Jeff Schwaia, a student from SDSU, and Randy Tate, a teacher from Carlsbad Junior High School, are organizing a dart team to start the new season competition in January. They practice on Tuesday nights and are looking for dart players to join their team, "The Blind Squirrels." Camelot is a place full of smiles, reminiscent of the British Isles. " It's not just the Brit Beer, but the food prepared like w e're used to," said Dr. McClellan, a native from Edinburgh, Scodand, when asked about Camelot Inn. He went on to say, "Camelot is a little bit of B ar R ules Although there is a party atmosphere, the Gurkhas have some rules to follow when they're at the Camelot Inn: NO F INGER-POINTING: The substitute, using an elbow to point, makes everyone look like birds.

NO EMPTY GLASSES ON TABLES: Filled ones only. home, and we can roll our Rs as long as we want." Come often, come alot, to enjoy the olde world charm at Camelot. Camelot Inn is open weekdays from 3:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. The dining room is closed Monday night, but the pub is open for cheer and dart tournaments. Friday night is Irish folk night and on Saturday a variety of life music is offered. The pub is located between Highway 78 and restaurant row, at 887 W. San Marcos Blvd. �Rugby tests skill, endurance COACH CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 Hammond retired as a player and became a coach in 1968. His record for the past 20 years makes him proud. "In the senior level, I 've had seven championship wins," he said. " I've had a couple others at a lower level too." Hammond's United States counterpart, the Gurkha's, i sn't too far from what he l eft "There's a good core of dedicated players who will learn and improve their game," Hammond said. Playing with the "All American" members, Hammond stressed the need for "overseaers" on the Escondido team. "For a team to develop, they need some overseaer back and some overseaer forwards," Hammond said in reference to player positions. ' They know when to take those chances, more than the All Americans." This need is filled by the c lub's director, Ray Steel, who is also from New Zealand, and four players, two from Europe and two from South Africa. "That's the way we like i t." In one tournament game, only four foreigners are allowed to play. Hammond's talk certainly sets him off as an overseaer, but his words have more than j ust an accent. There are slang words f or just about everything in Rugby, from All American, referring to the locals; Kiwi's, New Zealand natives; and Palmies, Europeans. Some terms are easy to pick up on, others are harder to define. Another speech characteristic about Hammond is his stuttering when he gets excited. He brought Speaking the language of those who play Rugby is just about as difficult as learning the rules of the game. Here's a guide that might help: ALL AMERICANS: United States natives that play the game well, but lack the born-experience to play Rugby. KIWIS: Native to New Zealand, where Rugby is the national sport. PALMIES: Europeans. Rugby is popular in Wales, Britain and in France. YARKIES: Foreigners that hale from South Africa. OVERSEAERS: All of the above with the exception of All Americans. OLD BOYS: Players fresh out of high school. RUGBY: The ruffian's game played by gentlemen. this up when he first addressed the Gurkha's, and said he uses it to his advantage. "Some players need to hear things more than once, so I accomplish this in one sentence," Hammond said. His contract is ova* in December; his stay here in the States will only last two months due to the Escondido C lub's limited ability to support him. But he says he will be back. If a full time coaching j ob comes up, Hammond said he will be happy to move t o the states permanently. I had been playing for about five, or maybe ten minutes. The players let me get used to the field, my teammates, and the object of the game. After this brief introductory period, I was passed the pigskin ball. And I ran, not because it was the object of the game, but I ran for my life. I was engaged in the game of Rugby. Unlike previous Thrill Seekers, I had entered an adventure that is riddled with cliches like, "Give ' Blood: Play Rugby." This sport has the reputation of looking like a street brawl. But, in the short time I had on the field with the Gurkha's, the team of the Escondido Rugby Football Club, I learned the game is more than just blood and guts. The object is simple: get the ball to the goal. The rules that have to be followed in the attempt of making that score are a bit confusing. In comparison, try teaching American Football to the Japanese. The game is strenuous. In a normal game, play is divided into two, 40-minute halves. The game I played was about 15-minutes long and was a warm-up practice, so there was no tackling (thank God). But in that short period of time, the unfit bones began to hurt and the skins became damp with sweat. I played the left end of the scrimmage line. The player next to me was experienced and a returning member to the club. He attempted to teach me the rules as he contributed a great deal to the action. SEEKERS We were to stay behind the man with the ball. That sounded easy, but the carrier kept moving and would throw it without warning. Rugby i sn't like football. There is a line of scrimmage, but the ball can be thrown to another player at any time. And because your teammates have to stay behind the ball, you can only throw it backwards or sideways. The effect of gaining yardage by running makes for an exciting game. By the time I had become comfortable with the game, it was that time in practice to get into shape. Fitness is a big part of the game. John Hammond, the Gurkha's coach, stresses more fitness than actual game strategies. With the 80-minute nonstop games, however, I can understand his concerns. I joined in with the Gurkha's in their fitness exercises. After all, I was seeking a thrill and I had to experience both the good and the bad. But after an hour of a practice game and exercises, I bowed out and retired to my reporters note pad. I decided to stick to writing and leave the Rugby training to the professionals. With drills that would make a marine sweat, the Gurkha's spent the next half of practice pushing, pulling, stretching, and bringing pain to every muscle in their bodies. The coach ensured them that the pain would lessen and the drills would increase as the preseason comes to a close. The game and fitness is only half of the Rugby sport. The other part comes after the work is completed. The Escondido Club members retire to a local bar, where they get their reputation of having great parties. Despite the bruhaha at that night's gathering, they say the parties after the tournament are more intense. Here, there are the standard party rules. No finger-pointing, drink with your left hand only, no saying "drink," "drank," or "drunk" and so forth. Craig, the only part of his name I could understand, explained more rules associated with Rugbyparties. He said you c an't put your glass down empty and you c an't show your teeth when laughing. Hammond demonstrated this rule when he removed his dentures and laughed. These gatherings bring out the greatest attribute in Rugby: friends. Sportsmanship is almost a requirement and friendship is one of the benefits. This part of the game outweighs the blood and guts p art Rugby is a wear and tear sport, but the training is paid off in fast, exciting games and a collection of "mates."

Because we are asked to seat ourselves, we decided to sit at a large, southern-decorated table rather than the many booths lining the walls and windows. As I looked around, I saw white walls decorated with cowboy memorabilia including spurs and saddles. Also decorating the walls were washboards, plows, skulls, and pans. Along the rear wall, separated by a trellis from the dining area, were t wo pool tables. One could play pool for fifty cents a game. Also, a laser disc juke box was ready to play anything from oldies to the most modern of music. Next to the juke box was an old fashioned soda fountain where one could order anything on the menu. Troy, our waiter, introduced us to the most famous item on the menu, O LLEGIATE the half-pound steerburger, served with a condiment tray, which consists of pickles, red onions, relish, jalapeno peppers, Tabasco sauce, salt and pepper, sugar, ketchup, mustards and mustard relish.

True, i t's terribly confusing at first, but if you're patient, it rewards in the end.
