In an effort to gather information and get student feedback regarding the Union, the university put together many focus groups of students who met facility planners and architects on Tues. March 18. The meetings were designed to acquire student feedback and gather information in regards to As enrollment at CSUSM is increasing, the university is looking to expand campus life and resources with talks of adding a new Student Union. Currently, the process is in its first phase, which consists of gathering information students wants and needs in a Student Union. In attendance to conduct the research were Brailsord & Dunlavey Facility Planners and the HGA Architecture Firm. The first question addressed to students in attendance was why they chose to come to Cal State San Marcos. Student responses varied but mostly had to do with small class sizes and location. Consistent with the focus on student wants and needs; the meeting proceeded .with discussion surrounding what students would like to see in a Student Union on campus. James Carruthers of Braiisford & Dunlavey made it apparent that they were listening to what students had to say when he stated, GRADFEST 2008 Gas prices skyrocket nationwide Price per gallon could rise to $4 this summer BY JONATHAN E. THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer According to MapQuest, the lowest national gas price is currently $2.56 and the highest national gas price is $4.33 with a national gas price average of $3.45 per gallon. San Marcos has a low of $3.50 and a high of $3.80 per gallon of gas. In 2002, a gallon of gas cost_ roughly $2 in Southern California. Six years later, the cost for a gallon of gas has nearly doubled. Barrels of gasoline reached the $100 mark and are inching past $110.

The vote was 5-2, the minimum needed to pass it. The ban includes locations like La Jolla Cove, Mission * Beach and Ocean Beach. Banning alcohol on beaches has come up with the city council in the past. In 1994, the city council voted for the same type of one-year trial ban, but opponents gathered enough signatures for a referendum, and the council was forced to repeal the ban. In 2002, the ballot included voting on an 18-month alcohol in parts of Pacific Beach and Mission Beach, which was rejected by a narrow margin. About 30,209, or 5% of registered city voters, would be needed to force a referendum in the same manner at 1994. The group," Ban the Ban," run by the grass roots organization Our City, Our See Ban, Page 4 T ODAY LGBTA will host its annual 'Spring Gay Wedding' today, March 25, in Forum Plaza from 12-1 p.m. The ceremony serves as a demonstration to oppose current legislation that restricts marriage to a man and a woman.

Throughout this week,, SHCS is hosting various events to promote awareness for a safer spring break. The marquee event will be held on Wednesday at Clarke Field House, with a lecture perfornfajlce entitled "JMSpot: A Sex Educator Tells All" and renowned sex educator Jay Friedman. According to Health Educator Cathy Nguyen, "I've seen him perform at a San Francisco conference and he was very entertaining. I think students will find the performance educational and funny and I hope that they will be able to walk away with more knowledge about sex and healthy relationships." Today, the campus is having a survivor fair that includes a number of activities such as a walk-the-line DUI checkpoint and alcohol screenings.

In the first game, No. 12 Western Kentucky watched their lead dwindle as io piiöt: ' No. 5 Drake came back to tie the game. Then Western KenK V W tucky took care of business in overtime when Tv Rodgers hit a : three point buzzer beater. Then No. 13 San Diego was able to hold on and win in overtime against No. 4 Connecticut. Later in the a fternoon, No. 13 Siena took care of business and beat the struggling No. 4 Vanderbilt by winning by 21 points. Then the final upset of the first round took place when No. 12 Villanova was able to control the flow of the game and beat ' ' i / 1 ^ No. 5 Clemson.

But despite losing a lot of the one point games in the first round, I am happy to say I have all my final four teams and the loss of certain teams does help my final standings in my brackets. The Ugly This one is easy: Duke! No. 15 Belmont knew what they needed to do to beat No. 2 Duke. Belmont tasted their first tournament victory in history with 11.9 seconds remaining in the game. But there best wasn't enough as they fell 71-70. But it was West Virginia who was able to get the ball down low and take care of O uke 73-67 in the second round. Duke, like others, were over exposed and overrated. Unable to do what they needed to do to advance, there now going get to watch the rest of the madness with the rest of us on the television.

C hina's t ies to the genocide in D arfur and c urrent tension with autonomy-seeking Tibet have brought f orth numerous calls t o b oycott the Beijing Olympics f rom a multitude of individuals and g roups — a signal that C hina is still not prepared to be a world leader much less a host to the Olympics. As if the controversies caused by the Chinese government w eren't enough to r uin the Olympics t his year, the location could easily seal the deal on t his already botched Olympic f estival. The air quality in Beijing is so poor that many athletes and health o fficials are concerned with how the c ity's e nvironmental issues will a ffect p erformance. Endurance sports could see unimpressive p erformances as the poor air quality, heat, and humidity take t heir toll on athletes p articipating i n long competitions.

A questionable t ap water supply and s teroid-ridden meat have p rompted the U.S. to ship in its own f ood to avoid athletes getting sick or t esting positive for steroids.

Blood, Sweat, Tears, Turtles ûéFS, BY TORIA SAVEY Pride Staff Writer "You do realize you have a reptile in your house then?" Ok, in all fairness, it's not so much a reptile as a turtle. Before you get all taxonomy and point out that a turtle is a reptile, it's not really. It's a turtle. Reptiles freak you out if they escape from their cages, and they do things like slither, and make your grandmother faint. A turtle just kind of galumphs along. But wait. There's more. This turtle is much more than a turtle. This, my friends, is war with a shell. Well, more like a passive aggressive battle of wits between my significant other and myself. You see, this is relationship rehab. Recovering addicts, depending on the program, are taught to ease back into responsibility. Try a plant. Then a fish. Then a dog or a cat. Thenfinally,you can move onto people. I didn't go to rehab, but I've been in a buttload of unhealthy relationships. I did things a little backwards though. I got the guy first. Then followed it up with no plant, and now a turtle. So really, I think we're both just making sure ^we can keep the turtle alive before we make a bigger commitment. I mean, would you marry a turtle killer? No, I wouldn't either. So, here's a little view of how my morning went. Get up too early. Check and make sure turtle's still alive. He's still alive. (Sidenote: we don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet. People have been asking me how you check the sex. Answer: Play soft music and buy it flowers and candy until it rolls over for you.) Text significant other to say that I'm worried Mr. Turtle doesn't have enough room to swim and he seems unhappy. Significant other's response: "He'll be fine, babe. Take him on a field trip to the bathtub." Um, my boyfriend's ex-roommate used to go shopping. At bars. For men. Every night. I'm way more worried about the bath tub giving Mr. Turtle the clap than I am about catching salmonella from him. I'm pretty sure if the turtle catches syphilis on my watch, I lose the battle. So, perhaps you too are in a serious relationship but afraid to take that next step. But I bet if you knew the next step could eat goldfish, like mine can, you'd be all over that and walking down the aisle (or having a commitment ceremony in the Bahamas.. .or being hitched at a drive-thru chapel in Vegas by Elvis) i n no time. - �Voice Can it "Country Pop" BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer W hen I t hink of c ountry m usic, I t hink of one of t wo t hings. O ne is t he g reat songs by J ohnny C ash, C harlie D aniels, or Willie N elson. On t he o ther h and, t here is t he contemporary m odern c ountry that s eems t o have sold out. T here is a d istinct d ifference in t he t empo and sound of c ountry music t oday as c ompared t o p ast decades. T he p eople in t he music industry could c larify t his by labeling m odern music of t his n ature as " country p op." One d ifference I find between the two eras.of country music is the popularization of t he new breed. Today p erformers have replaced the dated ' twang' sound with synthesized vocals and electric guitar. Like all genres, it seems it is more about the money t han the music. If this were not t rue, there would not be an entire television station devoted to c ountry music, and in f act, there are two. T his changeover, with singers such as Shania Twain, is an i nformal selling out. A nother reason f or t his clarification is the ability for lyrics t o be change into other genres. Carrie Underwood's t une "Before He C heats" could j ust as easily become a p op or R&B song. On the other hand, Cash's " Ring of F ire" and Daniel's " The Devil Went Down to Georgia" do not sound right p erformed any other way, such as in Guitar Hero III. Yet most songs by groups such as the Dixie Chicks or Rascal Flatts have a popularized lyrics and tempos: t he n ail in t he c offin f or t his involved e xamination of another g enre. Rock widely encompasses m any styles and t ypes of music. C ountry is l arge as well, but people do not b reak it into subgenres. A s for rock, t here is classic r ock, blues-rock, psychedelic r ock, p op r ock, a lternative rock, and m any more t ypes. Some g enres when blended receive a ppropriate t itular s tatus, yet c ountry is u nwilling t o budge. People place a rtists like Molly Hatchet and Lynyrd Skynyrd into " southern r ock," t hough t here are definite c ountry influences in t he music. There is more t o the f acets of country music the j ust country western. Based on the style of music in both lyrics and instrumentation, it is f air to label the m odern country music scene as " country pop."

Students go to college, ideally, to manifest their education towards a successful career. Leading up to graduation, seniors face the challenge of finding the right job. "I'm nervous about searching for a career and not just any job. I hope that cougar jobs can help me out. I 'm, the problems last Labor Day in Pacific Beach, in which the arrest of one reveler turned into a major clash between beach goers armed with rocks and glass beer bottles and police officers in riot gear, which ended with the arrests of 16 people. The police department has been accused of using excessive force in the situation. For afirsttime offense, the maximum fine is $250. However, repeat offenses could bring up to $1000 infines,and may include up to a six-month jail sentence. The ban covers beaches up to the Del Mar city limits, leaving residents of North County in the middle of a checkerboard of beaches covered by alcohol laws. A full list of areas where alcohol is banned by the new law can be found at www.sandiego.gov/city-clerk. From BAN, page 1 Responsibility, collected 45,000 signatures. However, when the city clerk's office randomly sampled 3% of the peti* tion, they found only 680 of 1,367 signatures to be valid. As a result, the petition was declared to haye an insufficient number of signatures. The question remains over whether random sampling is fair. However, it is more economical. According to a press release from the city clerk's office, "The cost of a signature-by-signature verification of the petition has been estimated at $70,000 - $147,000. Therefore, any person who desires to challenge the determination of insufficiency by random sampling method must post.. .a certified check for $70,000 to initially cover that cost." The law might not have passed before P f ^ f S ' : ; .|/8/Ö8^:30p.® From PREVIEW, page 1 handing out pledge kits on Thursday encouraging students not to drink and drive and will be giving free pizza with it for a safer spring break. "While spring offers a f un and enjoyable week away from school, college students need to be aware of safe and responsible activities " said Tracey Armold. "Just because we have the capability to drink alcohol, doesn't actually make us adults, it's how we conduct ourselves and how we are held accountable as well." For years, spring break has been notorious for its high levels of excess drinking and sexuality. However, recent studies have shown a change in trends. A Nielsen Media study shows 84% of college students drank responsibly and 90% think providing community service projects to college students is a good way to spend their spring break. Some of the more infamous destinations for student retreats include Las Vegas, Fort Lauderdale, Rosarito, and Cabo San Lucas. From GAS, page 1 sees sharp gas price increases as summertime approaches. People o ften travel more during the summer as they vacation across the nation. The increased demand lowers the available supply, thus in6reasing the cost of gas. Gas prices are an u nfortunate p art of CSUSM. CSUSM currently holds the label as a commuter school. Most Cougars commute to campus. This inherent phenomenon is evident in the parking lots. Increasing gas prices are not enough to thwart o ff an education, therefore forcing students to shell out the extra bucks at the pump. Junior Business Major Kyle McClellan seemed to have a lot to say when asked about his opinion on gas prices. "Soon gas prices will be higher than the Empire State Building. It's so expensive I will have to mortgage my house j ust to buy another gallon. I t hink I will have to invest in a bicycle to ride everywhere. If Gandhi were alive, he would agree with me, gas is too expensive. Gas already costs an arm Sarj Marcos Over the past weekend, police arrested three young men in Daytona Beach, Florida for detonating an explosion at local hotel terrace. The blast mildly injured a nearby family, according to the Daytona Beach News-Journal. On March 15, authorities halted the Spring Fling event hosted by Associated Students Incorporated abruptly due to rambunctious activities by many. of attendees. Reports onboard the San Diego yacht of underage drinking and detrimental behavior by a number of underage students surfaced and forced the event back to shore. Locally, San Diego City Attorney Michael Aguirre specifically addressed students and warned them of the alcohol ban on all San Diego beaches. "San Diego city beaches are now alcohol free," Aguirre said in a letter sent out to 20 nearby universities in California, Arizona, and Colorado. "Violating this law can put a real damper on your entire spring break." First time offenders could be fined up to $250 and repeat offenders as much as $1000. and a leg, what body p art comes next," McClellan said. The trend seems to show no mercy. Gas prices have been increasing for years, granted there are few decreases along the way. Unfortunately, these decreases are minuscule and short lived. Make preparations now and plan for $4 per gallon of gas this summer.

One of the most notable and skilled unconventional artists is Phil Hansen. Though his works reflect the same skill as most drawings and sculptures, Hansen uses several unique tactics to create his art. In one of his works, "Influence," he only uses paint and his own body as a canvas. However, he has also used pinecones, other parts of nature, a blowtorch, and his own hands and feet as paintbrushes. "Influence" is a video of Hansen painting thirty pictures on his own stomach—most of which are of people that influenced him. Not only is being able to point on one's own chest a skill, he does it thirty times and with incredible skill. Hansen paints each picture A video of inspiration over the one before it. He reveals his clever thought process in the end when he peels the entire work off and cuts it into two faces opposite each other. The skill of his work comes from the material he chooses to use and/or how he makes it. There are instances where his piece is made of eggs, Starbuck's cups, or matches, in which he cannot create an outline, and most times, he does not have the final picture before him. The project wraps around him and he can imagine the entire work in his mind without physically seeing it. There is more to his work than just "Influence." He has created over a dozen works of art, most of which become destroyed in the process and only exist in online videos. His videos are on YouTube, but his main website is www.philinthecircle.com, where viewers can watch the production, completion, and destruction of his art. Photo courtesy philinthecircle.com 0 - Team's Spoon Wars BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer Has anyone else seen random students around campus carrying bright green spoons in their hands? It's more than likely that the answer is yes, so this brings about the question of why? Why are students carrying around bright green Kermit spoons, to be exact? Well, it looks like the answer can be found at Student Life and Leadership, where many campus inquiries can be answered. For its second year, the Orientation Team from Student Life and Leadership—also known as the O-Team—is in the middle of a war: a spoon war. What initially began as a way for the O-Team to grow and learn about one another, has quickly evolved into a new tradition here at CSUSM that is integrated within the entire campus community. Implemented by Jennie Goldman, the director of New Student Programs, and O-Team Director John Hall, this new tradition is an adaptation of the game "Assassins." "Each person on O-Team was given a bright green Kermit plastic spoon," said O-Team member Angela Ortiz. "We are to carry the spoons everywhere. They need to be in our hand and if we let go of the spoon, it must be able to fall." Throughout the war, each participant has an assigned "target" they are watching. If they catch their target without their spoon, their target is out—or technically speaking, "spooned," by their hunter, and then the target's target becomes the hunter's new target. Everyone on the O-Team is a hunter and a target during the spoon war. "We cannot tag a person while they are working or if there is a presentation going on during one of our O-team meetings. Other than that, you can tag a person anytime, anywhere," said Stepha- eventually become the foundation for Seeqpod.

BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer Beware of the spoon nie Michaels of the O-Team. "This is a team building exercise that teaches you to keep your friends close, and your spoons even closer," said O-Team member Kevin Chatham. "The spoon war can last for a really long time or a really short time," said Ortiz. "This game can go on for months..." said Hall. Last year Ortiz got spooned at home by her own sister who was also on the O-Team only an hour after the war started, and Michaels lost at last year's Spring Fling while dancing without holding her spoon. "I wanted a truce so I didn't have to dance with my spoon but my friends wouldn't do it," said Michaels. Chatham, commenting last year's war said, ""I can't believe I got out! I thought she was just giving me a hug but she spooned me!" "Ifyou see someone holding a plastic green spoon, then you know who O-Team is and you know the Spoon War is on. The Spoon War is all about bonding with your target," said Ortiz. "You get to know where they hang out, whether it's the library, C3, SLL or in some random classroom. You try to scope out who others have, and attempt to build alliances. No one is safe, not at any Spring Fling dance, lunch outing, O-Team meeting or before class." "The spoon wars are a great way for our organization to 1oe visible, have fun, and further build community in our organization," added Hall. "Whether in orientations or in the classroom, O-Team will be there to show school spirit, even if it means holding a little green spoon with the image of Kermit the Frog all over it," said Ortiz.

BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer In a world briefing released by the New York Times on Feb. 28, the Associated Press announced that South A frica's government said it would end a 13-year mor• atorium on killing elephants beginning in May to reduce the overgrown population of South A frican elephants in hopes of protecting the ecosystem and impacted wildlife parks. The brief stated that at the t urn of the 20th century, there were only 200 elephants in South A frica. Now, there are between 18 and 20 thousand, according to varying sources. A 11 s ources a gree though, that the number of elephants currently in South A frica is expected to double by the year 2020—merely 12 years f rom now. Interestingly enough, there is another population of elephants that is undergoing population problems. However, t his p opulation's problem i sn't overgrowth, it is extinction. 5,853 miles across the Indian Ocean, in Laos, once heralded for i t's numerous herds and once dubbed the "Land of a million elephants," only has what is believed to be 700 Asian elephants l eft in the wild. In a c ountry lush with forest and vegetation, i t's a harsh % contrast f rom the scene in South A frica where n atural vegetation is t aking a b eating f eeding the some 20,000 .elephants there, that can each eat 5% of t heir weight a day. According to the World Wide Fund for N ature, it is estimated that there are only 25,000 wild Asian elephant^ l eft and 15,0.00 captive Asian elephants. A hundred years ago however, Thailand is thought to have had upwards of 100,000 Asian elephants. So why are there so few Asian elephants l eft in Laos? T hanks to f armers, p oachers, loggers, and dam builders (who all use elephants as t heir labor), i t's becoming harder for the endangered elephants to survive the t hreats and demands of man. Naturally, the f irst thought one might have is to j ust ship some—or in t his case thousands—of the South A frican elephants to the lush and under-populated Laos. However, the two species of elephants are vastly d ifferent. And now, t hrough DNA test- 1 H ü ing, it is believed that there is a ctually a t hird species of elephant. The t hird species comes j ust f rom the distinction b etween the A frican forest elephants and the A frican s avanna elephants. The A frican forest elephant is slightly smaller t han the more o ften seen Savanna elephant (Loxodonta A fricana), which is the species most commonly seen by the world in zoos, s afarigoers, and tourists to A frica.

The Associated Press conducted a five-month long investigation that revealed pharmaceutical drugs in the drinking water supplies of 24 large metropolitan areas. Trace concentrations ofiheart medicine, infection fighters, estrogen hormones, anti-convulsarits, mood stabilizers, and tranquilizers were found in areas including southern California, New Jersey, [Michigan, and Kentucky. Similar drugs were found in upstate New York and in Philadelphia, other medicines such as asthma, high cholesterol, and epilepsy were found. In southern California, anti-epileptic and anti-anxiety medications were revealed in treated drinking water that 18.5 million people consume. The article reports that over the past couple of years, Americans' intake of prescription and nonprescription drugs has increased. The i contamination of water could conceivably be traced back to metabolized use (drugs do not just "stay" in our bodies and are "flushed out" and back into the water supply) or simply unused by humans. Additionally, there is the issue of contaminants, such pesticides and lead that have been focused on and regulated because higher concentrations presented a clear health risk. In regards to pharmaceutical drugs, some officials note that human safety may not be jeopardized because of studies done with larger amounts of trace concentrations and lab animals. Other officials are concerned because humans consume water every day consistently and in respectable amounts. Another point of view on the subject is that pharmaceuticals, contrasting to other contaminants, are designed for the humans. With a compounding consumption, these trace amounts could especially affect and be more devastating to those more in more sensitive conditions—the elderly, pregnant women, and significantly ill people. Currently, the federal government does not have any required testing for cle mentions that some studies have found trace concentrations of pharmaceuticals in Asia, Australia, Canada, and Europe. There are also documented health issues with wildlife that are being further investigated. It is also important to address that based on what the pharmaceutical industry knows, they justify that there is little effect on human health by these trace contaminants. While this is important news, the AP did not conduct a comprehensive, scientific study to examine the full effects of this on humans, so these discoveries cannot conclude a specific causeand-effect relationship on humans. Many scientists emphasize that research is limited on this subject matter and a lot of information is unknown.

The AP article also notes that some water providers that do screen for drugs only screen for a small number, which overlooks the prospects of other drugs. Another concern is the addition of chlorine in water can exacerbate the toxicity of drugs. Furthermore, another matter is bottled water and home filtration systems, which do not remove these impurities. Bottled water is often the same tap water repackaged and is not treated for pharmaceutical contamination. The article also explains that the only known technology to remove pharmaceutical contaminants is reverse osmosis, but the drawbacks of this procedure is its expense for mass production and it also produces large amounts of contaminated water for every small amount that is clean of pollutants. So, unless a home filiation system specifically features a reverse osmosis capability, the water may still contain harmful pharmaceutical pollutants.

Playing against an extremely talented #2 Azusa Pacific team, the Cougars surged late but could not complete the comeback. Azusa Pacific started strong scoring six runs in the first two innings, knocking out SP Steve Triolo after just 1 1/3 IP. Down 6-0, the Cougars got on the board as 3b Austin Coleman hit a solo homerun in the bottom of the 2nd, and would tack on two more in the third to be down 7-4. In the bottom of the 7th, DH Austin Way hit his second home run of the game to start the comeback, but Azusa Pacific would come right back with three runs in the top of the 8th to put them up 11-6. The game would end 11-8 in a victory for Azusa Pacific University. CSUSM does not have a football team, but by looking at the score of the second game of the week for the Cougars, some may make think otherwise. Scoring at least one run in every inning, the Cougars beat Principia 24-3 in complete domination. Principia lead the game off with two runs to take the lead. The Cougars blew the game open in the bottom of the 2nd, lead by a grand slam by 3b Coleman. Scoring eight runs in the 2nd, the Cougars were up 10-2 already. SP Chris Skaalen would pick up his second win of the year going 4 innings giving up two earned runs on four hits while striking out four. In the bottom of the fourth, Way continued his hot streak with a grand slam which was the second of the game for the Cougars. The Cougars' record improves to 11-14-1 on the season.

ELáfis i t M M i Photo by Tim Moore / The Pride perfect internet streaming BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer In this vast world of technological advancement, the live streaming of sporting events is a task not to be taken lightly. It is an undertaking that requires mass amounts of bandwidth and a dedicated repair staff. Rarely is the art of making sports available to the masses done right. NCAA.com, in association with CBS has done it right. Throughout the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament, NCAA.com is streaming games live and 100% free. The concept is great, and the execution is even better. The service caters primarily to those in professional environments, locked away from access to a television during one of the best times on the snorting calendar. The interface features the fabled "boss button" for the paranoid employee. The "boss button" transforms the interface into a mock-spreadsheet, instantly giving office-wandering superiors the security of productivity, or so they . think. The service also comes in handy when more than one game is in play. CBS choses what games they will show region by region. For instance* in Sunday's secoiid-round matchups, San Diego's CBS affiliate KFMB showed nearly exclusive coverage of USD's game with Western Kentucky. Near the end of the game, USD was trailing by double-digits with under 30-seconds left on the clock. The game was clearly out of reach for the Toreros, however, because of geographic restrictions KFMB aired the game to the final buzzer, which lasted around five minutes because of timeouts and fouls. During this time, #10 seed Davidson was in the process of upsetting the #2 seed Georgetown. A few clicks was all it took for viewers to have access to the Georgetown, Davidson game online. Before, accessing the online coverage, users must first log in with a CBSSports.com, CBSNews.com, CBS.com, CBSGames: com, TheShowBuzz.com, or NCAAsports.com username and password. The interface of the service is simple and responsive. A pre-roll short advertisement plays before the user's initial selection, and after that, the only additional advertisements are the normal commercial breaks. The video quality in full-screen mode is comparable to that of the television broadcast. The only drawback to the service is a buffer delay (around one minute) from the actual live game. NCAA .com and CBS have offered the services for f ree that other leagues charge premiums for. The service is giving people what they want, and it is a win-win for all parties involved. CBS is projecting advertising revenues of at least $21 million, some $10 million more than 2007's tournament. �What happens on spring break doesn't stay on spring break Wcfcr urges youth to consider sta:s BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer Spring Break '08 is a home stretch away and with that comes the necessary proactive safety advice from the campus, family and friends. Many just looking to "don't worry be happy" for a week may mistake concern for annoyance, believe rules aré meant to be broken, and consider those cautious as 'square.' Warnings can only go so far—in one ear and out the other, but the truth doesn't lie. Jennifer Wider, M.D., author of The Doctor's Complete College Girls' Health Guide: From Sex to Drugs to the Freshman 15, warns college girls of the possible repercussions of activities that ensue during a stereotypical college Spring Break vacation. Alcohol, drug use, and promiscuous sexual activity can leád to sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy, overdose, and serious health problems. "An American Medical Association survey of college students found that 83 percent agree that Spring Break trips involve more or heavier drinking than typical college life," says Wider, M.D. "Almost threequarters of the surveyed students acknowledged that increased sexual activity takes place on these trips—70 percent know friends who were sexually active with more than one partner on Spring Break. STDs and pregnancy are two very real risks of spontaneous sex that have lasting consequences after the trip ends."

A once in a lifetime opportunity The World Nomads Travel Scholarship BY ALEX H AND Pride Staff Writer There are scholarships that help pay for books and tuition.. .then there are scholarships that help pay for the experience of a lifetime. The World Nomads Travel Writing Scholarship provides the opportunity for one lucky student to have this experience. This opportunity has recently been opened up to the students at Cal State San Marcos. The scholarship will send one outstanding student to participate on an i-toi volunteer project to the tsunami-devastated region of Sri Lanka. The chosen student would spend time living in a small coastal village amongst locals of the region. The scholarship winner would also receive mentorship from Sydney Morning Herald journalist and travel writer Keith Austin throughout their stay. Among the perks is also a new Lenovo laptop the student would use to draft up their own fea- ture travel article highlighting their stay. Upon return, the student's article could be published by the Sydney Morning Herald (www.smh.com.au). If published, the story would be read by thousands of traveler's worldwide. Previously, The World Nomads Travel Writing Scholarship has sent students on various assignments in locations such as Anhem Land-Australia, Kenya and Cambodia giving away four educational scholarships to date. World Nomads is partnered with key industry leaders such as Lonely Planet and National Geographic. The "passionate about travel" organization was established in 1999. They have been offering travel insurance and travel safety services to adventurous independent travelers ever since. According to WorldNomads.com, the scholarship program is "designed to create a dynamic, experiential learning opportunity, which offers mentoring, produces exciting content and facilities partnership to publish/ Illustration by Amanda Andreen/The Pride broadcast/exhibit student's work." There are currently 4 scholarships open each year in areas of Travel Writing, Podcast Journalism, Photography and Film Documentary. Any students in the fields of communications, journalism, media, arts, writing and/ or lecturers are encouraged to apply. There are no specific eligibility requirements but the scholarship aims to attract "those students who have a passion for travel and a strong desire to learn and contribute to making a difference in the world." The application deadline is May 25th.

How San Diego is getting overlooked BY ADAM LOWE Pride Staff Writer Have you ever heard of a movie called "Blindsight"? No. What about one called "The Band's Visit"? Still nothing? How about "Contempt"? All right, so you haven't heard of any of these movies, that's fine - neither have I, to be honest. They are only the top rated movies on www.rottentomatoes.com, so why should we have heard of them? Well that is why we should have , heard of them. If they are the most popular recently released movies - wouldn't you think they'd be in all the major cities across California? Wrong. These "popular" movies, even though they are currently dubbed the most popular movies in the nation, NONE of them have found their way down to the San Diego area. I am a big fan of going to the moyie$, and I'm an even bigger fan of road trips - but I am NOT a fan of having to go on a road trip just to see a movie, which is exactly what I'd have to do if I wanted to see these . "popular" films. Some of these movies look quite entertaining and I would absolutely love to see them, but I don't want to drive for a few hours j ust so that 1 can sit and watch a movie for 2 hours. Now, I live in Orange County - and going to La-L.A.land is a drive for me, so I completely understand how much worse it is for everyone down here in San Diego County. So I guess if we want to see "Blindsight", " The Band's Visit", "Contempt", "Jar City", or "The Diving Bell and The Butterfly", we are j ust going to have to plan a road trip. We'd have*to head up to L.A. to see most of these. For some, however, we'd have to drive all the way up to the glorious misty air of the San Francisco Bay area. But for even some others - we would have to enjoy a delightful flight all the way to good old New York City. So why aren't these " great" movies playing in our major cities? I don't know, perhaps someone should write a letter to the Motion Picture Association of America. We could say that we aren't upset. We could tell them that we are JUST DISAPPOINTED - that will zing 'em! �w on't put y ou to s leep BY ADAM LOWE Pride Staff Writer A s I w alked u p t o t he d oorman/ b ouncer and p aid my $5 t o get i n, he a sked w ho I w as t here t o s ee.

Images cmrtesyofg^apyn^com Photo by Ross Lichtman / The Pride �Pride Staff Writer Don't be fooled. A movie with the promised antics of Jack Black may sound tempting, but this is one comedy that doesn't fulfill its intended purpose. Jerry (Jack Black) is a junkyard worker who attempts to destroy an electrical plant that he believes is reading his mind. But when his plan goes sour, his magne tized body ends up erasing all the tapes in his friend Mike's (Dante 'Mos D ef Smith) video store, conveniently named Be Kind Rewind. With a store full of blank videotapes, Jerry and-Mike embark on a not-so adventurous journey to remake some of the most memorable movies of our time. The ironic idea in this disappointing movie is that some of the best and most memorable movies are being remade, which just begs you to ask yourself the question: Why aren't I watching those movies right now? Considering this is a comedy, I found myself NOT laughing 90% of the time. Don't get me wrong, the remakes that the protagonists made were amateurishly comedic, but the entire movie just failed to move the audience emotionally. The remade movies, although humorous, failed to be consistent and plentiful enough to act as a driving force in the film. While Jack Black's performance was usual Jack Black as always, Mos Def came across as a little slow and boring, and that is definitely something that comedies are not about. With somewhat bland characters and an even duller story, "Be Kind Rewind" fails to hook the audience with its scarcity of laughter. Chances are you'd be better off staying at home and listening to your Tenacious D CDs. Photos courtesy Photo courtesy Abbot Genser/New Line Cinema Stone Imperial Russian Stout BY JONATHAN E.

The stout pours chunky — a rich black liquid fills the glass. A thin head forms and disappears quickly. The stout radiates a gothic blackish-purplish color. Coffeelike aromas seep into the surrounding air. The murky stout first attacks the tongue. A subtle tingling sensation spreads throughout the taste buds. The stout gathers intensity during the peak of consumption and finishes off the rest of the oral cavity like a Jackie Chan fight scene. The stout leaves a powerful rolling wave of energy as the stout descends below. The lips smack in joy and demand more.

If considering the stout, visit a local BevMo quickly as the stout is scheduled to disappear after spring. Have a f un and safe spring break, Cougars! OneRepublic "Dreaming Out Loud" BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer Thirteen tracks of juicy vocals and teasing guitar—OneRepublic's "Dreaming Out Loud" is sizzling. A scintillating blend of what falls easily on the ears as a mixture of The Fray, Maroon 5, Keane, and Snow Patrol, "Dreaming Out Loud", off Interscope Records, is heating up the charts and the airwaves across the nation. "Dreaming Out Loud," moved from slot 45 last week, to slot 20 this week on Billboard's Hot 200 albums. The single "Apologize" featuring Timbaland is #9 on Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart, and "Stop and Stare" is up three spots to the #9 song on Billboard's Pop chart, and is also #9 on iTunes' Top 100 Songs. Not only that, but "Apologize" is the #17 most downloaded ring tone in the nation this week, falling in between "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by the Charlie Daniels Band and "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin. The album opener, "Say (All I Need)," is a scenic ballad with a techno flare, promptly followed up by "Mercy" which was most recently featured on the March 13 episode of "Smallville," along with "Apologize" and "Stop and Stare." Following "Mercy" is "Stop and Stare"—which stops me in my tracks everytime I hear it. It's that good. Then comes "Apologize," and there really isn't that much to say about this track other than it's amazing and catchy. "Goodbye Apathy" which falls directly after "Stop and Stare" and "Apologize", mirrors The Fray's sound so closely, it could most definitely be mistaken for a track like "Little House" off their last album, "How to Save A Life." Track 7, "Tyrant," brings to mind "Erlkonig" by Franz Shubert with it's pounding one note intro, and it definitely isn't the strongest track on the album, but it is apparent they were trying something different, as this track has a little more of a U2 and Bon Jovi vibe. "Prodigal" starts out slower, and leads in with creeping vocals that could be compared to Snow Patrol and Keane as the song slowly builds into a full-blown pacing rock song with a hint of the Beatles, circa "I am the Walrus" era. * "Won't Stop" has a bit more of a Nashville feel to it, with violins and percussive elements accompanied by a confident steel guitar and curious piano interludes. "Someone to Save You" and "All We Are" sound pretty much the same, except for the really lame sounding drum intro on "Someone to Save You." Except for those two tracks and "Tyrant," the rest of the album is solid, and even though the "Timbaland featuring OneRepublic" version of "Apologize" rocks, I have no doubt they could have made it to the top without his help.

This cross-cultural event was planned and organized largely in part by joy Francisco and Trish Guevarra of the APSS. Some of the highlights included versions of both the United States and Filipino national anthems. The APSS also showcased two different forms of Filipino folk dancing. The Binasuan, performed by Cheryl Arbitria, involves balancing three glasses of rice wine (substituted on campus by kiwistrawberry Shasta) while moving through a sequence of exotic and difficult contortions. The Tiniklin, performed by members of the APSS, is a choreographed dance that requires perfect synchronization of the dancers, and incorporates the tapping of poles which are laidflaton the ground and tapped to the beat by fellow performers.

Along with Dimaandal, this tribute to Filipino-American culture featured a number of musical groups/artists ranging from alternative rock to rap to techno. One of the crowd favorites was the "Squids of Fury," who are a San Diego based break-dancing crew who performed on the very unforgiving medium of concrete. When asked about the long term goals of the APSS, Joy Francisco (Director of Publicity/ Historian for the APSS) responded by saying that the immediate goal of the fledgling organization (established in the Spring of 2002) was simply to inform the public of the existence and relevance of Asian Pacific society in San Diego. According to the U.S. census, FilipinoAmericans make up 20 percent of the people of Asian descent in the United States, second only to The APSS was also successful the Chinese (23 percent).

SDCHCC is a non-profit organization that provides many different programs and services for the Hispanic entrepreneur. It also has a scholarship program for graduating high school students and has approved scholarships for some college students, according to Roberto Villareal, which can earn them up to $1000. According to SDCHCC, they helped raise over $350,000 in scholarships for the future of the Hispanic youth, and they are focusing on building a solid foundation for the community, starting with the Hispanic youth and business community. SDCHCC also offers internships for students majoring in International Business. Villareal says that they have a program with San Diego State University (SDSU) but sees no problem with students of Cal State San Marcos (CSUSM) enlisting in the program if they are willing to take the time and follow through. The organization was established in 1989, primarily to access the $10 billion Hispanic buying power. The new organization is now the fastest growing Hispanic Chamber out of six states in the western United States. "Our role as a Hispanic Chamber is to advocate small businesses particularly Hispanic businesses," Villareal says. Membership in the organization entitles small business owners to collaborate with each other, creating business ventures amongst themselves. Membership also entitles the business owners to an exclusive mailing list, which gives the Hispanic business owner an edge.

While clouds covered the sky and frigid breezes filtered through Founders' Plaza, the crowds were minimal. "Maybe it could be held inside next year," suggested many Southern Californian fairweather-fans. With a reportedly high percentage of Cal State San Marcos students going on to graduate school, the fact that the weather could have significantly marginalized the utility of the fair came as a surprise. Bettina HSber, CSUSM Director of Analytic Studies reported from a survey taken in the Spring of 1999 that 45 percent of Cal State San Marcos students, having received their bachelors degree, enrolled in a graduate studies program within one year. See GRAD FAIR, page 3 The Career and Assessment Center hosts the event annually to provide a forum for students to informally meet with a variety of graduate school representatives, to ask questions about schools and programs, and to collect informative materials. This year, the fair was extended an extra hour to last from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., due to student requests made "after last year's fair. Yet, despite a longer window of time, student MEDICAL from page 1 Grad Fair. Photo by Tristan Nickey. science and humanities." During interviews, Mauldin also mentioned that medical school admissions committees may also ask curve ball questions such as "What do you think about European socialized medicine?" or "How do you feel about health care reform?" acceptance to medical schools because schools will not look at applications without MCAT scores. It is also important not to work during medical school due to its intensity.

Sack and Mauldin also explained that medical Schools suggest that it is a necessity to have at least one letter of recommendation from a professor that a student knew well. They need to know personal information about the applicant that conveys a willingness to persevere. A student may have multiple letters from professors of classes that he/she aced, but that do not explain anything about his/her personality. It is better to have a letter from a professor of a class in which the student received a C+ especially if it means the professor can vouch for that student's character. Sack also commented about CSUSM, "It's smaller and more intimate, you really get to know your professors, and there are labs for each science class. It's teacher interactive, and there's plenty of hands-on learning.

Soriano, CSUSM associate professor and program director of Human Development, was just named one of the 100 Most Influential Hispanics in the U.S by the Hispanic Business Magazine. % Soriano, founder of the NLRC (National Latino Research Center) in 1997, fue sorprendido por el reconocimiento ya que no tenía conocimiento alguno sobre su nominación. Soriano received the news by an email that was sent by an acquaintance congratulating him for the recognition, and since then has received many more. "I was very shocked and kind of humbled," said Soriano. According to Soriano, knowing many Latinos in the nation who are doing so much for the Latino community, and who are deserving of this recognition, it is both gratifying and shocking. "Me siento muy afortunado de tener este conocimiento y ojala que la comunidad Latina tengan orgullo en esto, igual que los que no son Latinos sepan que los Latinos pueden lograr igual éxito a los que no son Latinos," dijo Soriano.

Sobre el efecto de su reconocimiento en su vida, Soriano said, "It [the recognition] gives me an opportunity to serve as a role model especially to children and adolescents, and I think that role modeling for kids is very special." He also added jokingly, "I wish I had the money that went with that." La página de Internet del Hispanic Business magazine listed la fundación del NLRC as well as the participation of Soriano in the Census Bureau's Advisory Committee on the Hispanic population como sus cualidades principales. The recipients ofthis recognition were determined by survey results conducted by the magazine. However, Soriano never received anything from the magazine's editor or publishers, saying anything of his nomination or his recognition. La razón principal por la cual Soriano decidió venir a Cal State San Marcos fue debido al gran apoyo que la universidad demostró para apoyar el NLRC. "I wanted to make sure that the center had a good home, that it would have strong institutional support for the center; it looked like Cal State San Marcos seemed to be very interested in Latino research and Latino issues so it seemed like a good home for the center." Soriano said that since then, "the center has been doing very well." He added, "We Calend Los temas investigados en el NLRC, de acuerdo con Soriano, Sobre su persona Soriano son muy diversos pero la mayoría mencionó, "I see myself son temas sociales que incluyen primarily as a professor, I don't la demografía, delincuencia e see myself as an administrator... información sobre los niños I see myself primarily as a latinos preescolares.

Sin embargo, este About the interest of other mismo equipo logro convocar people in learning other su primera conferencia donde languages, Soriano said, "It's más de 75 researchers and good to promote another aspiring new researchers de toda language because as the world la nación pudieron conocerse is shrinking, we need to become e intercambiar ideas sobre los a lot more involved with other Latinos and drug use, "When cultures and other countries. you are a Latino and you've Even apart from whether you are gone to school and youv'e Hispanic or Latino, it is going to gotten your Ph.D., you often become increasingly important are isolated and not with others that you learn a second language, who both validate you as an and what better language to learn than Spanish? We not only have a Spanish speaking country right next to us, but we have an entire Hispanic continent that is very large and that is right next to us as well. Promoting the use of language I think is very important." "We, as a country and as a region, should become much more multilingual and should promote the use of languages," added Soriano. De acuerdo con Soriano, the future of the U.S. is that it is going to become much more interdependent on other countries, as the current situation in Europe, where most Europeans speak more than one language due to their interdependence on other countries. "More and more people who are going out to the job market willfindthat some of the better opportunities for jobs are going to be given to those who are able to navigate through different cultures," he said. Soriano said that unfortunately, there are not many Latinos who hold Ph.D's, as well as there is a very low percentage of Latinos who go into 4-year colleges. Soriano mencionó algunos de los factores influyendo a este bajo porcentaje que incluyen la falta de role models; falta de apoyo y conocimiento de las escuelas, profesores y directores, al igual que la falta de confianza que estos ponen en los estudiantes latinos; los exámenes subjetivos aplicados temprano en la vida académica que afectan la motivación y el auto estima de estos niños; y el pertenecer a familias de bajos recursos donde los padres no tienen la educación y el tiempo para guiar a sus hijos y sobre todo donde hay un stress económico. "Todo esto constituye una barrera muy grande," dijo Soriano. También añadió que hay muchos otros factores que afectan este porcentaje. una responsabilidad muy grande y como nuestra población tiene muchos problemas económicos y educacionales especialmente los latinos que tienen educación o los que están ahorita en la escuela tienen una gran responsabilidad de terminar la escuela de hacer bien en la escuela y luego después demostrar la habilidad y los éxitos que pueden logran por el bien de ellos como también de la comunidad Latina," añadió Soriano motivando a los Latinos a seguir adelante. Soriano obtuvo su Bachelor's Degree in Psychology at UC Riverside and his Master's as well as Ph.D. at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Soriano is currently teaching three classes at CSUSM: two sections of HD 495 "Fieldwork Exposure In Human Development" and HD 497 "Research in Human Development" Nacido en Guadalajara, México, pero traído a los EE.UU. a la edad de un año, Soriano mandó un mensaje a los latinos. El dijo, "Cada Latino debe de tomar [la] oportunidad de lograr un nivel de éxito más grande de lo que sus padres han logrado y NOTE: This is a languageque lo hagan no solamente por contact journal article; ellos mismos pero también por it's intended to be in both la población en general Latina, languages. que están viendo en ellos las esperanzas de ellos mismos."

By DESMOND BARCA Pride Design Editor On Oct. 29th 1997, five years ago today, Anton Szander LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan, was found dead by his family in his Los Angeles home. His death at age 67 was the result of heart failure. Halloween 1997 marked the end of LaVey's life, but to the annoyance of Christians everywhere, it did not mark the end of his legacy. The Church of Satan is still going strong, admitting new members every day from all over the world. Satanism has long been a frightening and mysterious concept in western culture. While there is little evidence that the hundreds of thousands of people who were tortured and executed throughout history for being Satanist were anything more than social misfits or radicals, the perception of a secret devil worshipping society has long been perceived to exist. Thanks to LaVey, this concept has become a reality, though not exactly according to a Christian understanding. Most people do not have a clue about what Satanism is today. The historical understanding of the satanic creates so strong a picture that it is difficult to approach the Church of Satan objectively. When most people think of Satanists, images of human sacrifice, blood rituals, and infant theft instantly come to mind. However, modern day Satanism, of the variety practiced by members of the Church of Satan, has little to do with these stereotypes. The church of Satan, aside from its name and being the result of a rebellion against Judeo-Christian values, has very little to do with Christianity.

I respect Amy's passion for her belief in the mistake of the Pride. I wds born in San Diego and I am notfluentin Spanish. Seeing the Spanish Sec* tion actually inspired me, the fact that it had no English translation made me even more curious to find out what it said. It also made me think about how those at our school who do speak and read Spanish, what about their view? What a joy for them to open the school paper and be able to read an article in their native language, maybe even the language the learned first I think it is reasonable for Amy to request English side-by-side with the Spanish article. Although, the editor, Maria Sarabia brings up that space and time make it impossible. My suggestion as a fellow English speaking student is to FIGURE IT OUT! We are at CSUSM to learn and to grow. There are resources out there we can use as students to understand the world. This includes Spanish, if necessaiy...to read the school paper. If you have Internet access (tiy using the school lab) log onto a website suchaswww.fieetranslation.com. Here you can translate words or entire passages in multiple languages. I believe you can go to www.csusm.edu/pride/ highlight the Spanish article copy it and have it translated for you on the website. We need to be more accepting of the changes happening around us. There is Spanish written on almpst all store products and their directions. Even songs on the radio use both English and Spanish in the same song. [i.e. Angie Martinez"If I can go...contigo (with you)]. I could go on with examples but I think we can all start looking for these occurances in our own surroundings. Fm sorry to those who are\were offended by the Spanish section, I hope that in the future we as students can pull together all possible resources to better understand the Pride as well as the world around us. Nicole Capatanos Senior, Liberal Studies This is letter is in response to Oct 8th's "Opinion About The Pride Spanish Section" I wasfranklysurprised that Ms. Granite took such offense with the article written in Spanish in our school's newspaper. This university was founded oh the ideal of multiculturalism and social justice. That a school newspaper would be broadminded enough to publish a small section where Spanish speakers can read in their native language would seem to be a positive rather than a negative. I would venture to guess that there are many, many students on this campus who, while maybe not fluent Spanish speakers, have yet studied Spanish at some point in their educational career, as I have. I personally enjoyed the challenge of putting my hardearned Spanish skills to practical use in trying to read the passage. It's not like the article was written in Croatian or some obscure language. This is a language that is so prevalent in our area that if hearing it or reading it offends us; we may be living in the wrong area.

The government shall not conduct business nor be the entity of a business operation which otherwise can be provided by the private sector. Copeland calls for an end to the state income tax.

Izabel Solis, a student and member of M.E.Ch.A. (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan), introduced Davis by acknowledging her accomplishments, and thanking her for being an inspiration for many activists. "How can we understand the process t hat' led from a deep sense of mourning for people who died, to this ubiquitous, flag-waving nationalism that has gripped the nation?" began Davis. She focused her talk on current events, and the roles nationalism and hate have played worldwide. "What does the phrase 'We as Americans' mean? People from Canada, Mexico, San Salvador, and Brazil are Americans, too ... we have taken on the name of a whole continent," said Davis. "The phrase 'We as Americans' also has a form of rejecting communities: Arab, Middle Eastern, and South Asian communities are all pegged as not American. Think about the vocabulary we use — rhetoric gives expression to ideologies we might not want to embrace." She asked the audience to think critically of people's reactions to the war and the individuals affected by it. "How do we build a stronger anti-war and anti-racism consciousness? We must maintain a critical historical memory," said Davis. "Think about the attack on the World Trade Center, and the deep sense of mourning we felt for the people who died. We are not invited to think about people in those ways that are from other countries. We can only feel so strongly for other Americans." Davis also spoke about the Japanese-American internment camps during World War II, and the McCarthy Era. According to Davis, these examples of U.S. history show when the nation's government and leaders acted out of fear. "We are a nation that values free speech," said Davis. "No one spoke out then." Her commentary on President George W. Bush drew both laughter and applause from some members of the audience. Davis told listeners that the results of the Florida re-count were scheduled for announcement early this month, but it was determined as unimportant at this time. "If Bush was the winner, they would have announced it," said Davis. She quipped, "... people think Bush has gotten stronger. His speech writer has gotten better." Davis spoke in support of all fundraising contributions to the victims of September 11, but she noted that many undocumented workers also lost their lives. Their families are unable to seek aide because they live in fear of deportation.

Each Sunday's weather was perfect year, in mid- October, the sorority gathers sponsors and invites walkers to join them in an hour-long walk around Discovery Lake. Registration was $ 15 and included breakfast and a souvenir t-shirt. This year, half of the funds raised by Cal State San Marcos' Iota Tau Chapter will go to Becky's House, a San Diego based shelter for battered women. The remaining funds will be sent to the Alpha Chi Omega Foundation. Omega was founded in 1979 and began fundraising for victims of domestic violence in 1992. The foundation combines monies raised by Omega chapters across the nation to .support victims of domestic violence. Philanthropy Fundraising Chair Ashley Erro said she felt attendance was up this year. "We had a lot better turn out, but we always hope for more." "October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Watch for our 'Have a Heart' booth in Founder's Plaza during the last week of October," said Erro. "We sell hearts for $1 and hang them around campus. You get to decorate them in memory of victims of domestic violence or dedicate it to who ever you chose." Approximately 50 schools were represented on Monday at the Graduate and Professional School Fair hosted by CSUSM'S Career and Assessment Center. Cal State San Marcos is one of nine CSUs that offers this event, and the Career Center has been involved with the fair for the past seven years. Students learned about financial aid availability within the schools, graduation assistance, and employment possibilities for students. Among the many schools at the fair were Georgetown University, John Hopkins University, Whittier Law School, University of Notre Dame, Pepperdine University, the Academy of Art College, Hawaii Pacific University, UCLA, the Peace Corps, and Central Michigan University. "The fair provided a link for students to get exposure to the variety of graduate and professional school programs that are available," said Sandy Punch, director of the Career and Assessment Center. "It sparked the students' interest and got them motivated." Monday afternoon, the Career Center offered a graduate school workshop after the fair. The workshop helped students with school selections, application and admission processes, and gave them information on financial aid. Punch mentioned that the Career Center also offers a software program, Choices CT, which may help students with career selections. Students that use Choices CT can take an aptitude test, access occupational information, job listings skills, or interest checklists. California Center for the Arts, Escondido, will host a job fair from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., Nov. 1. Punch recommended that students dress professionally and bring their resumes. �Activist Inaugurates E thnic Studies Program at CSUSM Dean Jonathan Poullard (far right) and many professors, students, and staffattended the reception celebrating the new Ethnic Studies minor at CSUSM after Angela Davis' lecture. (Pride Photo/Victoria Segall) Students Boycotts Davis Lecture »Article cont. from pg. 1 questioned whether or not the university supported her views. "It seems like they present one ideology, one view point, and don't give students a rounded group of speakers," he said. "They're leaning to the political left." Poullard, however, said that the Intercultural Speaker Series would include a diverse group of speakers, including those with different political and cultural perspectives. "One day we might even have author Amy Tan," commented Poullard, who has been working with some of the coordinators of the speaker series, the Campus Climate Committee, a studentstaff group working to improve student life on campus. As stated in a press release sent out by YAF last Tuesday, "Young Americans for Freedom is opposed on the specific grounds that this event is being funded, sponsored, and promoted by the school. CSUSMYAF would not object to Angela Davis coming to our campus if the event were sponsored by a student organization and funded on their dime." "YAF believes nothing to be greater than the freedom of speech," Grafstrom stated in the press release, "however this boycott is about the school administration using school funds to subject students to a certain political bias. That is not free speech, it is indoctrination." It's part of the college experience," said Dean Manship, ASI President. "We'll have some controversial speakers, but they're here to present different cultures. It sounded like most people thought it was a positive experience, even though some people may not agree. Hopefully we can bring someone from the political right." Grafstrom said he thought it would be . "great" if the-university invited more political speakers with varying perspectives. He said he received some favorable responses for the boycott from the community. When asked if any students responded to the boycott, however, Grafstrom said, "We haven't received much student feedback."

"The intelligence community is like a goalie in a unlit hockey ring," analogized Kane. "Every once in a while the opposition gets a goal through." But Kane went on to say that the intelligence community knew that the alleged ringleader of the terrorists, Muhamed Atta, was in the United States. Kane, who still has friends in the military community, also said, "The military front is not in Afghanistan, it should be our home. Home is where we have to win." He also discussed the effect that the terrorist attacks would have on an individual's freedom and privacy. "Freedoms are on the chopping block," Kane said, "and .it's bad policy to give up too many freedoms. That is what the terrorists want." Addressing the protection of the identity of the U.S., Kane said that many of the terrorists stole identities of people not necessarily in the United States, but from other countries as well, and entered the U.S. as those individuals. "The weapons were the terrorists themselves," he said.

As my friend and I walked inside the Howard Brubeck Theatre at Palomar College for the opening night of the "The Last Night at Ballyhoo," last Friday, we looked around for clues that would reveal the framework of the play. The lights went off and the play began. Reba Freitag (played by Frances Regal), Boo Levy (Janelle Carta), and Lala Levy (Melissa Murphy), appeared onstage. Still clueless about what the play was about, I listened carefully. . "The Last Night of Ballyhoo," by Alfred Uhry, takes place in Atlanta, Ga. in December of 1939. The movie, "Gone With the Wind" is making its premiere, and Hitler is invading Poland, but the people of Atlanta are much more concerned about who is going to Ballyhoo, the social event of the season. The action takes place mostly in Adolph Freitag's house. I enjoyed this Tony-award winning dramatic comedy, which was directed by Paul Larmer. I was particularly amused by Janelle Carta's performance as Boo, the widow and sister of bachelor Adolph (Brett Sauey). Boo exaggerated, argued and complained all the time. Nothing pleased her, and I could see that through her facial expressions, speech, and body movements. Then there is Reba, the widowed sister-in-law who is calm, but a little bit crazy. In Boo's opinion, the Freitags are several social rungs below her. Nonetheless, her daughter, Lala, is charmed by Joe Farkas (John De Carlo), Adolph's Brooklyn-born assistant, who Adolph invites to dinner. However Joe shows no interest in her, and wants to leave the Freitag's home - 1 don't blame him, knowing Boo's character, Reba's serenity, and Lala's flirting. Melissa Murphy plays the unpopular, dreamy and immature Lala. It is no surprise why her mother is worried about finding a husband for Lala. Joe later meets Lala's cousin, Sunny (Lauren Palazzo), and falls in love with her. This creates excitement throughout the play. As Reba's daughter comes home for Christmas, so does the hilarious Peachy Weil (played by Aaron Forrester), a member of one of the finest Jewish families in the South who complete the cast. Chaos ensues as everyone prepares for the event of the year, Ballyhoo. The audience, which included parents, relatives, and friends of the actors, seemed to enjoy the students' performance of this humorous and complex play. Through comedy, romance and revelations, the family gets pulled apart and mended together. The struggle of identity and finding one's self is also well depicted in this play. The cast of "The West Wing" addressed the terrorist attacks in an episode. West W ing Takes o n Terrorism By ALEXANDRA FREIDAY anticipated premiere on Wednesday, Oct. 10, NBC began the new season.

REWARD! procreative@iinet.com Miscellaneous �By VICTOR PADILLA Pride Staff Writer e "Megiddo," the sequel to the sleeper-hit film "Omega Code" brings to the big screen the climatic saga between good and evil, spirit and man, in the Biblical battle known as Armageddon. The movie stars Michael York and Michael Biehn, and is set in I960, when Satan discovers the perfect protege for his evil mission in a young boy named Stone Alexander (York); The roots of evil developing in Stone become evident early on when he attempts to murder his baby brother, David, by lighting him on fire. In an attempt to somehow straighten out young Stone's twisted behavior, his father Daniel (David Hedison), the owner of a giant media corporation, sends young Stone to a prestigious military academy situated outside of Rome run by General Francini (Franco Nero). Growing up in the academy, with much help from his possessor Satan, Stone quickly rises to the top of his class, excelling in strategic and military skills, as well as ruthlessness. Stone meets a young lady named Gabriella (Diane Venora), the daughter of General Francini. Stone and Gabriella begin dating, and they eventually get married. When he graduates from the military academy, Stone receives an unexpected visit from his father, and younger brother David, whom he has not seen since the torching incident. After numerous pleas from his father to come back home, Stone rejects the offer. Stone has bigger and better plans. At the graduation ceremony he tells his father that he intends to set out and become an international politician by working with the European Union. Years go by, and the two brothers, Stone and David, go their own separate ways. With a lot of help from Satan, Stone is able to move up the Japanese attack the island, this would be a close depicpolitical ladder, and after a number of years tion of the kind of top-notch, 3-dimensional, lighting, he eventually reaches his desired position - and digital effects used in this portion of the movie.

Sheri "The one-on-one support was Just what 1 neededLiz �According -to the support services listed in the general catalogue, Gal Sate San Marcos is 'Disabled Student Friendly.' The campus offers support services including: "readers, notetakers, interpreters or captioners (for the hearing impaired), testing accommodations, access to specially adapted equipment, application assistance, supplemental academic advising, learning disability assessment, disability-related counseling and priority registration. However, what they don't offer is acceptable access to our campus classrooms and acceptable evacuation procedures. In light of last week's 'nonemergency' power outage, what is a wheelchair-bound student suppose to do when the elevators no longer function? How can we expect such a situation to be handled in a true emergency? John Segoria from Disabled Student Services said, "I would hope there would be evacuation chairs placed in each building in case of emergencies." Currently, CSUSM does not have any evacuation chairs to bring disabled people down the stairs. Penny Lanese, who uses a wheelchair,said, "In terms of the power outage, I was very, fortunate to be on a floor with a ground level when it happened." Lanese was fortunate because she planned for such an event based on previous difficulties with CSUSM elevators. "Since the elevator problems in Academic Hall, I always ask DSS to make sure that all of my classes are on a ground level, so if something happens (whether it be a broken elevator, power outage, fire or otherwise) I can leave easily enough." "The [electric] doors are always a problem, but recently we discovered, that not all of the doors are broken, but rather turned off via a switch way up at the top," said Lanese. "I think that concerns me more than a broken door, because in order for the door to not function, someone would have to knowingly turn off that switch and [know] the consequence of their actions." We believe it is CSUSM's job to make sure all students have safe and consistent access to buildings, floors and class- rooms. All of us know how difficult it is to get around a campus made mostly of stairs and mazelike hallways - imagine what it would it entails to do so in a wheelchair. What can our administration do to further accommodate CSUSM Disabled Students? Lanese made a suggestion. "Although I realize it is a tough thing for DSS and Event Scheduling to make sure every class with a disabled student or professor has ground floor access, I think that it is the best solution." Truly, as Segoria concurred, this is a public safety issue, as well as a large concern for disabled students. "We need to be able to evacuate people from the third or fourth floors - students, faculty and staff alike," Segoria said. HAVE AN OPINION? SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITORS TO PRIDE@CSUSM.EDU "Part of the problem," Segoria said, "is that .our campus is built up against a hill, and there are lots of stairs. We can't build another building with just one elevator." CSUSM's newest building. University Hall, has two elevators, and the new library will also have two. "We're doing a better job of campus development now." Perhaps the most important issue at the moment is consideration - while many possible changes or new additions, even new buildings, are in the works, things won't change overnight. If we don't have evacuation chairs in each of the buildings, it seems it might be in order to get some and to promote awareness around our campus of possible situations that might need immediate attendance.

"The game was good," said Coach Khalid Al-Shafie. We had more attacks on the front and that's how we scored." The Cougars were down by 2 points in the first half of the game, with a score of 0-2, but they had an excellent comeback. When CSUSM scored its first goal during the last half of the game, the crowd could not hold back its excitement. This excitement increased even more after Manuel Maldonado scored the second goal in the last 15 minutes of the game. The final score was tied, 2-2. UCSD received a red card after their player committed a fault against Maldonado, who was down on the ground for a few minutes due to a pain in his right leg. After the game, Maldonado, a sophomore computer science major, said, I am just happy because everybody gave their best. This is how we should always play." Approximately 30 people cheered on the Cougar soccer players. Although Tuesdays turn out was greater than usual, player Antonio Zepeda, a juniofmajoring in Liberal studies said, "We need more people to come and support us." The team played two more games last week, against USC, and a rematch against UCSD. The Cougars have won one game, lost two, and, with the homecoming game, tied one game. Two games were cancelled, including a game against Utah State University, when the referee failed to show up. "The referee association just forgot about the game," said Al-shafie. The Cougars also cancelled a game against UC Santa Barbara on Sept. 30, due to the injury of one of their players who had to be hospitalized. The.player is fine, however he suffered a broken arm in the game against UCSB. Neither cancelled game has been rescheduled. "UC Santa Barbara soccer players will come down probably on the 21 of this month," said Al-shafie Players said they are excited about their progress thus far, but Al-shafie said he felt that there are some areas that still need to be improved. "We need to play the ball quicker and keep it moving," he said. Our weakness is that we can't hold a ball too long." % st Phantom Shopper Program Fall 2001 Be a part of Assessing the Quality of Service at Cal State San Marcos and Earn Money! •How Much? $150.00 •How Many Hours? 19 Hours of work C ome by the ASI Office i n C ommons 203 to s ign up or call (760) 750-4990 �Events Month.
