The survey results showed that students were indifferent, unfamiliar with or unhappy with the changes made due to the AESSF. When asked if they were familiar with what the AESSF was, 57 students answered yes, but only 24 of them knew what it was used for. 56 of the 113 students stated that they had never even heard the term before. When they were asked if they were in favor of the AESSF passbig, 11 students answered yes, 23 said no, 14 chose not to answer and 65 stated that they were indifferent. "The survey they provided online for our feedback did not allow you to say why you would not want the fee. It was skewed with only positives," one student wrote. "Students are already struggling to pay for school. Now the university came up with an attractive sounding 'politically correct' name for another cost to make people have a positive feeling about paying for school due to it being named the 'student success' fee," another student anonymously wrote. Out of the 33 students that knew changes had occurred on campus, only 14 knew what they were and had utilized them. Many of these students cited that the only thing they knew about the AESSF was that it extend- ed library hours, having learned this from the posters around campus advertising them. 80 participants stated that they were not aware that any changes had taken place. All of the students that chose to write positive responses cited the library hours as a beneficial change. "I like how the library is open later hours though. We. need to work towards 24/7 library hours," one student anonymously answered. "I think it is a positive change for students because it provides resources to be used for longer periods of time," another proponent answered. When asked if they felt that the AESSF passed without their input, 66 students answered yes, 10 said no and 37 stated that they were indifferent. Students were then asked if they had attended any of the forums about the AESSF last spring. 76 students said that they did not know about them, 11 participants attended at least one forum, 17 participants were freshmen this year and 9 knew about the forums b ut; were nof interested in attending. "Honestly, [the AESSF] is a good idea. But people are too broke to support it. Most students are tired of increasing fees and the university' should be sensitive to that," one student wrote. " I feel the library being opened longer is beneficial to a lot of students. Other things the AESSF has supposedly helped pay for are nice, but also another cost among a bunch of other financial obligations facing students in a tight economy," another student said. Based on the results of the survey, it is clear that an overwhelming amount of students are unaware of where their money is going. While 11 participants like the changes, 15 are against them and 18 students are indifferent. However, 69 students answered that they wanted to know more. While the AESSF has already passed, students are demanding more information about what it i s, where their money is going and more of a say in financial affairs in the future. D iversity a nd c reativity m ark t raditions CSUSM students celebrate the holidays in various ways B Y E LIZABETH C RUZ STAFF WRITER Being a diverse campus, our students celebrate an array of holidays. . A few students shared how they celebrate the holiday season. Their's are just a few stories in a variety of traditions. Festive rituals have evolved for this time of year over history, yet everyone's celebration practice is different. Creativity and community are the hallmark of the season, no matter what the practice. "My partner and I live across the country f rom our family, so we have made it a point not to follow the traditional norms any longer. On Christmas Eve we have dinner at a local Mexican taco shop and on Christmas day we surf early in the morning and then spend the day outside writing out our New Year's Resolutions. No presents either! Christmas is about spending time with others, not money," student Jessica Perry said. Another student, Alejandra Salome, goes out of the country to Mexico to visit family. "For the holidays all of our family meets up in Mexico at my grandma's house. We eat different types of Mexican dishes, we play and dance along to music and the children break pinatas pull of goodies instead of opening presents," Salome said. A student takes advantage of a small space by filling it with a mini Christmas tree by Sarah Hughes. It is always good to know in what ways other cultures experience these end of year celebrations, since they can differ very much from our own. Even among holidays, there is the holiday that is popularly perceived and the day as people actually spend it. Christmas especially, is divided between what it represents and how it's celebrated. For some it is the perceived meaning that they associate with it, while for others Santa and tinsel come to mind. Christmas is the most popular way to celebrate the holidays in our society. Many of us know that it is celebrated by remembering the Christian Nativity, which is the birth of Jesus Christ. Jesus' birthday is celebrated on Dec. 2 5, despite the fact that his actual birthday is unknown. It is thought to have actually been some- time in the spring time, but this date was chosen in the third century in an attempt to Christianize end of the year pagan festivities that were already in place. According to the Bible, the nativity is set in Bethlehem in a manger where Jesus was born because his parents Mary and Joseph were unable to find other accommodations. Jesus is believed by Christians and Catholics t o have been the son of God, born in the flesh to give' his life for humanity. Christmas is also celebrated by mimicking Saint Nicholas of Myra who lived in fourth century Turkey. There are many different accounts of his generosity but as stated in stnicholascenter. org, one legend says St. Nicholas threw some gold out of his window on three different occasions down to three peasant sisters who were in danger of being sold into slavery. The gold landed in a stocking that was drying on a fireplace. People heard of St. Nicholas' generosity and children began leaving stockings by the fireplace in hopes that he would come by and give them gifts. He later received his own Christian holiday on Dec. 6, the anniversary of his death, where people gave gifts to one another in his remembrance.

When picking their browser of choice, students should care about which one they use at school and at home because of speed, security and user friendliness, which can vary between browsers. The addition of Chrome on CSUSM computers is intriguing. Represented prominently on the toolbar, Chrome depicts itself with a red, yellow and green circle with a blue dot in the center. People have been excited for its release since Sept. 2008, which was originally for Windows. The first stable release was in Dec. 2008. Chrome seems to be on a mission to provide a browser with speed, simplicity, security, privacy, customization and signing in, as their "Explore the Chrome Browser" portion of their product info states. They seem to have found a market for themselves, as Google has crossed over into the mobile devices arena, with both phones and browsers. With the advent of the smartphone, computer preferences seem to be less presumed or pronounced. New names besides Microsoft and Windows are popular in the vernacular. Perhaps Chrome will be for CSUSM students now. Google Chrome on the campus computers is featured on the desktop of the lilac's, by Sarah Hughes. "Chrome, is designed to keep you safer and more secure on the web with built-in malware and phishing protection, auto-updates to make sure you have all the latest security fixes, and more," Chrome's Browser Features list said. Mobile devices are still a growing place, technologically speaking. Many will report smartphones with hiccups and browser content problems ,*from a variety of characters. Most can remember a time when they tried to load a webpage on a supposed smartphone, only to have it fail or look unseemly. Many web pages were created long ago to work on non-mobile PCs. Chrome seems to be created to fill the space of a need for compliance in the realm of the mobile device. Whether it is an adequate solution, seems to be up to debate. With students expressing complaints about campus wifi, hopefully Chrome will serve as a sufficient browser for when they log in. Infosecurity Magazine (online) reported in July 2013 that "there is no single 'most secure' browser, reports comparing the major browsers' ability to catch phishing, prevent socially engineered malware and protect the us- ers' privacy show that no one browser stands above all others in protecting its users." They then cite "NSS tests" as showing no one browser as better in all categories tested. Infosecurity Magazine goes on to report the "NSS tests" as giving the following scores to browsers in "average phishing URL catch rate": Firefox version 19 - 96 percent, Safari - 95 percent, Chrome - 92 percent, Internet Explorer version 10 - 83 percent. Though the browsers are relatively close in security, this puts Firefox at the top of the list, Chrome in the middle and Internet Explorer at the bottom, Yet a Oct. 2013 Analyst Brief by Randy Abrams of NSS Labs, Inc. states that "Microsoft's Internet Explorer continues to provide the best combination of malware and phishing protection. The application reputation technologies used by browsers from both Microsoft and Google provide a significantly safer browsing experience than do browsers from Apple and Mozilla." Perhaps the problem is in the age of customization, many can't agree on what's most important to them in their browser and computer needs. Farmers Market's are well known for the produce, flowers, honey and unique products sold to consumers that often cannot easily be found elsewhere. CSUSM offered a Farmers Market on campus but what has,become of it? Flower bundles by Sarah Hughes. New Farmers Market ordinances mean change? How the new laws are a ffecting t he C SUSM tradition B Y C HELSEY S CHWEITZER & SARAH H UGHES STAFF W RITER & N EWS EDITOR New farmers' market ordinances have resulted in more worry than change-. The prospect of the new Urban Agriculture Ordinance had many people worried over what these changes would bring. Those who rely on farmers markets for the majority of their produce feared that these changes to the prdinance could result in large changes to the farmers markets themselves. When the changes were approved and enacted, however, it became apparent that these fears could be put to rest. With the most current update to the Urban Agriculture Ordinance, which was put into effect in March of last year, local farmers are now allowed to "keep chickens — but not roosters — two beehives and dehorned mini goats in their backyards as long as they're kept far enough away from neighboring structures," as summarized in an article on the topic from KPBS News. This has resulted in few changes, however, other than slightly increased business as a result of legally being able to raise chickens and goats. Though this change seems like a minor one to the markets themselves, it has improved upon the farmers' methods and made great strides for the local farming operations. ~ "Before the new changes in the ordinances, we had a lot of people that were interested in raising their own food, having their own chickens, bees, goats, [etc.]," the owner of City Farmers Nursery in San Diego [Farmer] Bill Tall said in an interview with KPBS News. "They would come in and get a few baby chicks that we sold in order to raise chickens in secret, but we didn't sell feed and feeders and all. Now people are able to do it legally, with certain parameters. Local farming has really grown." Both growing popularity of farmers markets and their role in providing fresh locally grown produce have made them a feature for the community. CSUSM's own market provides a place for people to relate to the university who might otherwise not. Students, staff and non-students are welcome. "The CSUSM Fanners Market, sponsored by the Farm Bureau of San Diego County, will feature approximately 25 vendors every week. Visitors,to the market will have the opportunity to select from a large variety of fresh, locally produced, healthful produce including San Diego grown fruit, vegetables, eggs, honey as well as enjoy demonstrations, music, artisanal breads and prepared foods, tastings and more," according to CSUSM's" website.

Kwanzaa is an AfricanAmerican holiday that is very new compared to other end of year celebrations. As stated on history.com, it was started in 1966 when AfricanAmericans were embracing their African roots and black pride, and wanted a holiday that celebrated their culture. Kwanzaa is derived from a Swahili word which means "first fruits." It is seven days of unity and perseverance of black culture and identity celebrated from Dec. 26 to Jan. 1 that is now celebrated by millions worldwide despite its few decades of existence. Celebrations include everyone sipping from the unity cup which remembers B YJEFFMEINTS * African-American ancestors, lighting of the Kinara,which is a Candelabra with 7 candles that signify the 7 principles of Kwanzaa and dancing with African drums. Also known as the festival of lights, Hanukkah is eight days. Falling on the eve of the 25th of the Jewish month, of Kislev, Hanukkah is Nov. 27 to Dec. 5 this year. It represents purity and light crushing evil. Many centuries ago, after a battle with the Seleucids, a small Jewish resistance sought to light the Temple's Menorah and they found only enough oil to burn for one day, yet it miraculously lasted for eight days. Las Posadas is the Christmas equivalent in Mexico. The celebrations are 12 days long and are centered around the Christian and Catholic Nativity. According to mex- online.com, there is a procession of the virgin Mary on a donkey with baby Jesus, Joseph and a choir of children knocking on doors trying to find them a place to stay, to no avail. The parade ends at the church where mass is held. The holiday celebrations end on Jan. 6 with "Dia de los Magos" celebrating the three wise men who generously gifted baby Jesus on the night of his birth. The majority of gifts are opened on this last day. Other traditions include the eating of the Rosea, a round bread that contains a plastic baby figurine inside. The lucky finder of this plastic figurine is responsible for hosting the next Mexican holiday which falls on Feb. 2. On our diverse campus, the holidays are celebrated in these and many other ways.

For those of you who think that there is not eiiough time to exercise in the day, then this short-duration exercise may be the answer. HUT consists of 10-30 second repeated bouts of near maximal or supramaximal effort, separated with periods of recovery. There are a variety of ways to approach HHT with many different exercises, number of intervals and length of time. Surprisingly, improvements have been shown in as low as 3 repetitions of 20 seconds each, with a total workout session being only one minute. It has been shown to improve cardiovascular fitness bIK^ Showing spirit by participating in community events and fund raisers, provided by the Wrestling Club. Wrestling growing at CSUSM Students give process of starting new club B Y JENNIFER H AGER STAFF W RITER Finding the right club to join in college is already hard enough, but what if none of the clubs offer something you are interested in? You form one. After about a year of extremely hard work, the wrestling club made their debut this semester. Their hard work and determination is what is going to make their club last. For the first year of their existence, the wrestling club will not be competing. However, they will be practicing hard and trying to boost membership. President Jordan Riding says their plan for the year is to "prove we can sustain ourselves and get more members." The club practices at least twice a week in the Clarke Fieldhouse using the mats provided, with plans to buy their own eventually. Club fees are just $50 per semester, so with 10 members, Riding said they would be able to do just that. They also plan on competing in individual matches during the spring semester. With no official coach, they act as each other's personal trainers. The goal of the wrestling club is to be competing as a team by Fall 2014 with at least ten strong wrestlers. The team is willing to teach anyone who is willing to learn. The club's treasurer was the only female wrestler at her high school, and she is definitely looking for girls that are interested in learning more about the sport. The team knows that having a successful club is an uphill battle, but they seem ready for the challenge For more information about the team, contact Club President Jordan Riding at ridin002@ cougars .csusm.edu.

An improvement in V02max (maximal oxygen uptake) is another benefit from HUT. According to CSUSM Kinesiology professor Dr. Astorino, this indicates an integration of cardiorespiratory and muscle function to deliver and use oxygen during exercise. It is considered to be one of the most important indicators of cardiorespiratory fitness. Basically the higher your V02max is , the less of a risk you have for premature death and disease. This form of exercise might just be what you are looking for during the holidays. When you are eating those holiday cookies you can feel a little less guilty now with these quick workouts.

Surfing helps to rejuvenate the body and clear the mind. San Diego has such a strong surf community for more reasons than one. Image provided by Kelym Magallanes. The many health benefits of surfing B Y G LORIA MAGALLANES STAFF W RITER Surfing is a popular sport in California, and many don't realize that it can also be used as a way to enjpy nature, relax and release tension in the body. Some of the health benefits of surfing include cardiovascular fitness and strengthening of the body's muscles. All of this is acquired through paddling in the water and balancing on your feet once you've caught a wave. Not only does it affect your fitness level, but according to multiple health articles, the exercise an individual gets while surfing allows the body to release endorphins and helps them become tension free and relaxed. "Surfing is my only source for stress relief. At time's, I may be the only person in the water, and my only focus is riding the wave. Riding a great wave leaves me in a positive upbeat mood," CSUSM student, Adrian Frick, said. Some of the most common beaches for suring in San Diego County include Oceanside Beach Pier, Carlsbad, Moonlight Beach, etc. In the ocean, students are given the oppprtunity to unwind from the stress that comes with being in college, and possibly catch a thrill from that wave they were longing for. �Sports Editor: Justin D onner cougarchron.sports@gmail.com T HE COUGAR CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, D EG 4 , 2 0 I 3 S PORTS Nothing like sunny San Marcos Cougars battle brutal c onditions at nationals B Y C ORRINA B ABIASH-CLARK STAFF W RITER The CSUSM men's and women's cross country teams managed impressive team finishes of 13th and 8th place, respectively, at the NAIA National Championships held in Kansas on Nov. 23. With temperatures in the mid 20s, dropping to midteens with the wind chill, the CSUSM men's and women's cross country teams faced a tough challenge mentally and physically. "You just can't train for extreme cold when it is 70 degrees," cross cojuntry coach, Steven Scott, said. "Under the horrible conditions, I felt both teams did real well." Western Nelson's fourth Ail-American Award at last weekend's NAIA cross country national championships makes him the only athlete in CSUSM's history to have been honored as an All-American in all four seasons of a sport. "Before the race started it wasn't f un being there in the cold weather. During the race, it was all I could think about. But thankfully it was cold enough that I wasn't able to feel any of my body parts which made it much easier for me to ignore ail the pain in my legs," Nelson said. For other CSUSM runners, the experience was bittersweet. Despite impressive performances in less than desirable conditions, Steven Ing, Heidi Swanson and Kate Bouvatte fell just shy of the coveted All-American Award. With this season coming to a close, CSUSM cross country is looking toward the f uture with high hopes as many of their top runners will be returning next year.

It was a fun run for a good cause, and CSUSM was represented by a very familiar face.. The Cougar's head cross country and track coach, Steve Scott, competed in the race. This member of the USA Track and Field Hall of Fame has run more sub-four minute miles than any- one else in history, the number being 136 to be exact. He also set a record that stood firm for 25 years with a mile time of 3:47.69. Scottfinishedthefivemile run this weekend with an impressive time of 20:25 at a 6:33 pace per mile. This was good enough to give him a 134 overallfinishout of a massive amount of participants. Looks like he can still do more than just coach winning teams. The Turkey Trot allows for its contestants to designate a portion of their entry fees to go towards supporting local nonprofits or schools. A popular non-profit attracting more than 500 entrants was the Austin Bice Memorial Scholarship Fund. The Move Your Feet Before You Eat Foundation, which promotes physical activity among youth, is directly supported by the race as well. With a record crowd for the Turkey Trot this year, a considerable amount of funds should go towards helping great causes. Get Out! Vivid vistas and heart-rate raising hikes B y A LISON SEAGLE COLUMNIST Torrey Pines State Reserve offers many activities for anyone looking to enjoy the outdoors. There are a number of hiking trails available to explore that vary in length. They are not too challenging, so they are enjoyable to people of most ability levels. It is possible to drive into the reserve, but fees are applicable. There are also parking fees to park right near the entrance, but free parking on the street can be found if someone does not mind some extra walking. From the main entrance, there is a steady incline up a hill into the reserve. Not only is the climb a great way to get the heart pumping faster, it also happens to be a trip through geological history where hikers can witness the four different types of rock formations that exist in the park. No food or drinks are permitted in the reserve, but water is certainly recommended. Comfy sneakers or even hiking shoes would definitely be preferred f or anyone hoping to tackle these trails. There are benches throughout the trail systems to stop and take breaks. Restrooms are located in the reserve, but they are limited, so it is a good idea to grab a map and get oriented before beginning an adventure. From the lagoon to the beach and the cliffs in between, there is quite a range of natural habitats full of a variety of plants and animals f or hikers to enjoy.

Located only 2 minutes away from La Jolla Cove beach, Bubba's Smokehouse BBQ is lip smacking' good. It's a great alternative to our well known neighbor Mr. Phil, the owner of San Marcos' Mr. Phil's BBQ joint on Grand Avenue. As my friend and I arrived at Bubba's, we were welcomely greeted by the owners and then we sat ourselves comfortably. I had ordered a half rack of baby back ribs while my friend ordered the slider trio, a combination of three sandwiches: pulled pork, chopped beef brisket and pulled chicken. As I bite into my warm, tender rib, it's juicy, sharp sauce complements the wellseasoned ribs by not overpowering its natural smoked flavor.Though the sauce at Bubba's can be comparable to Phil's, they still highly differ from each other in an extremely good way. For instance, I find Phil's sauce a bit too tangy and Bubba Smokehouse is located on Prospect Street, in La Jolla. Photo of main entrance provided by Lissette Nunez. overpowering for my taste. The lack of choice in sauces at Phil's does disappoint, but Bubba's has variety. Bubba's features three favorable choices of sauce such as, Bubba's lip-smackin' sweet BBQ sauce or Bubba's Kickin' BBQ Sauce and Bubba's Secret Dry Rub. I had tried the kickin' sauce that brought a distinctive spice and just the right tang. Phil's sauce suppresses the meat's natural flavor and gradually starts to build a harsh tangy taste. Moreover, the slider trio was mouth-watering good! The only discouraging thing about the platter was the amount of meat arid sauce and how it regrettably spoiled the taste of the sandwich, transforming it into a spongy mess. Perhaps ordering the sauce on the side would be the best solution so that the bread doesn't form into a huge absorbent sponge. Lastly, their side section was commendable, serving a well-sized portion of crispy fries with a flattering hint of salt. The creamy, skinned potato red salad had a nice body to it, but was maybe a bit overly seasoned with salt. Bubba's prices are just a bonus.

Overall, my friend and I were pleased with our visit to Bubba's Smokehouse BBQ. Without a doubt, we would recommend it to anyone who needs a break from Phil's or is just interested in trying a new bbq place around our area. Bubba's Smokehouse BBQ is located at 888 Prospect St., La Jolla, CA 92037. 5 Spencer Joseph is a dynamic force that has brought a mentality of inclusivity and community outreach to the Greek Leadership Council this year. As GLC President, Joseph represents "the members of the nine fraternities and sororities on campus, as well as the two Greek honor societies. He handles any issues or questions that arise within the community and acts as the voice v of the students with the administration. Joseph happened into the position when the spot opened up unexpectedly. He applied with the intention of making his name more recognizable and intended to reapply a year or two later when he was more known in the Greek community. Joseph was taken by surprise when he received a phone call twenty minutes after he left the interview and was offered the job. Since then, the 19-year-old business major has taken on the task of managing and overseeing the Greek community's approximately more than 700 members. However, Joseph does not solely focus on bringing the, various fraternities and sororities together. He also reaches out to students and orgs, across campus to create ties between them and the Greek community. One of the ways that he accomplishes this is by joining together his roles as GLC President and Resident Adviser at The Quad. Joseph has a set quota of events that he has to create for his 'residents' in the dorms, so often times he coordinates them to intersect with Greek. He believes that by getting groups to work together, everything on campus will operate in a more inclusive manner. Joseph keeps his commitments to GLC and his fraternity SAE close to his heart, firmly believing that this path will expose him to a multitude of new opportunities. " I'm the 307,294th member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. It's not necessarily a number to me, but something that supports my decision," Joseph said. "It represents all the hard work I had to do to get to college and the hard work that I will do when I get out." Joseph manages to bring together the multiple dimensions of his college career while maintaining a full course load, a skill that he attributes to being organized and qualities that he has learned from being a member of a fraternity. "It's been a way to find friends, but they're not just my brothers because of a title. Truly each and every one of them is my family," Joseph said. "The reason for my success is because going Greek helps foster growth within a person. It really has opened my eyes to what I can accomplish in the business world." Joseph's dedication to GLC and the Greek community has only continued to fuel the tremendous success that fraternities and sororities have enjoyed at CSUSM.

The use of this equipment is what aids students in conducting research outside the classroom. "This is an incredible opportunity for CSUSM students. When I have talked to other universities, I have found that normally only graduate students would have access to these materials," Edmunds said; But the enormous impact of the club is not confined to research projects that stay on campus. Edmunds and other students have gone to conferences at other universities to present their projects and spread the knowledge they have amassed. They also work with Donate Don't Dump, where Kinesiology Club students distribute food to those in the area that suffer from food insecurity. The club successfully completed six food distributions in the last semester, and have helped pass out over 36,000 pounds of food last year. The club welcomes any Pre-Kinesiology or Kinesiology students that are interested in meeting and working with students at all stages of their academic career. "We have students that are going into pre-physical therapy, applied exercise science, health science, physical education. We have a very healthy diversity and CSUSM opens up so many doors for students," Edmunds said.

STAFF W RITER STAFF W RITER o rg/library/ concerns of those who are homeless through placing assumptions and judgments upon this mostly ignored group of people. I have found that homelessness discriminates against no one, but so many people discriminate against the homeless. Most of the time they do not even realize that they are doing it. Ill the past I took no notice of things such as "No Loitering" signs, locks on bathroom doors in fast food restaurants or city ordinances of not being allowed to sleep in your car. Now when I encounter them, I have come to realize that those restrictions are mostly directed at the homeless population. In the middle of the night when that urgency to go the bathroom arises, you have to start up your car to burn gas to simply find an open establishment that has accessible bathrooms. The places with locks on the bathrooms doors require that every single time you need to go to the bathroom you now must ask, "Can I please use the bathroom?" Also, dismiss the thought of going to the bathroom outside in the bushes somewhere because if caught you would be added to the sex offender list. Never in the past would I have considered the plight of the homeless, where you're forced to spend money every day on fast food and on very unhealthy food at that. There has been many a night where I literally cried into my McChickeri because it was the only thing I was able to afford and to consume for weeks on end. However, I remind myself everyday that other people have it far worse off than I do. This provides brief flares of passion to want to survive this to ensure all people can attain food and shelter in all of the United States. A year ago, I met a woman that, when I mentioned being homeless and then heard that I Jive in my car, she responded, "Well you aren't homeless then." There is e ntry/state- HOMELESSNESS in of-home- America lessnessin-america-2011 definite truth in that I have a car so I would have more shelter than another homeless man who is living out of a cardboard box. However, would you want either of those living situations placed upon yourself, your friends or loved ones? I have had issues with my car battery dying after a night of charging my phone or leaving the ' heater on because it is so cold outside only to then wake up and find my car dead. By far the worst thing I've encountered because of being homeless is the effects it has with relation to family and friends. Whether it is my parents ignoring my calls to friends and coworkers displaying the same lack of concern, in the end all is the same result: solitude and isolation. The mental, physical and even spiritual decimation of an individual occurs through this solitude and isolation. If this individual is unplugged from social environments and the simple interaction of other human beings for too long, that individual has the very real risk of disappearing into themselves and into the dark and ignored pockets of society. When society has given up and written you off for so long, it is only a matter of time before you give up and write off yourself. I have chosen to be homeless t hough thé act of giving my ex-wife the salon I built for her and taking almost nothing for myself so she could be well off. Oddly I have no regrets. But last night while I curled up for sleep and as I pondered over my story, the story I now write, I was reminded once again and overwhelmed with an emotion I have felt every night, which is fear. There is the fear of getting my car impounded for sleeping in it, or fear from assault and robbery due to the isolated and vulnerable posi- tion I place myself in each time I park on a dark and foggy street. There is fear of sweltering summer nights, frigid winter dawns and overwhelming downpours of rain. There is the very powerful fear of dying in the back of my car all alone, and I not being found for days or weeks on end. Each little noise slaps you awake from sleep to ensure no defensive actions are required. This has been by far the most present and prevalent emotion that I carry with me every day. The silver lining in all of this is I have found a certain and once seemingly rare characteristic in people which I now consider "true humanity." These are the people who learn about my living situation who continue to make eye contact with me, call me on the phone to simply ask how my day went, do random kind deeds such as bringing me food at school or invite me to their social gatherings and those who display compassion and understanding. I have found that openness and honesty, while sometimes briefly being detrimental, in the long run creates new friends, family and alliances stronger than any I have known in my whole life. The best advice I can provide to others that might find themselves in my situation is to first and foremost, curb your pride. If someone you care about offers you food, a place to stay or simply wants to chat with you, I recommend accepting the offer and opening up to them. Take the food, display the gratitude required and be glad there are still those who care. It is time we started shining the light into the darkest corners of society because there are so many that are lost and can easily be found and guided back into the light with compassion, patience" and understanding. CSUSM students use their computers to work on assignments in the little down time that they have between classes but the campus wifi is too spotty to be effective. The school wifi only works perfectly in a few locations. This wastes the little time students have to spare and by the time they pull u p the page they need, it's time to head to class. If a student needs access to a webpage for the in-class assignments for the day, it takes most, of the class for the webpage to load and makes it harder for that student to complete assignments. If a student's only time to complete homework assignments is between classes on campus, they have to navigate through the difficult wifi in order to access what they need to get done.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is the governmental agency responsible for providing travelers with the most effective form of protection. The agency was deployed in response to the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks in New York, serving to better the quality of safety and travel throughout the US. The TSA currently holds authority to search and seize anyone as they see fit. Under administrative law, these programs are allowed to completely d isrcg^ the terms of "probable cause." Officers of the Behavioral Detection Program, a subdivision of TSA, look for "clusters of behaviors indicative of stress, fear or deception." Anyone who is presumed to be showing such symptoms may be unjustly removed, analyzed and interrogated.

Airports currently require full-body scans of travelers. Some of the equipment that is used, referred to as bagkscatter x-ray technology, emanates small doses of radiation that can be harmful for some travelers. The main health concern for travelers passing through the x-ray technology is the development of skin cancer. Passengers that are the most susceptible to ionizing exposure risks are those who frequently fly, such as pilots and children, who tend to be more sensitive to radiation.

GMOs are not placed inside the foods that we eat. It is put in the seeds that are used to make all the foods that we eat. Many GMOs also contain something called glyphosate, which is a weed killer that can be extremely damaging to humans. It poisons our healthy bacteria, and goes into our bloodstream causing neurological damage. GMOs also contain promoters with proteins that wake up genes and bacterias in our bodies that do not need to be woken up.

Going organic is the best solution and making small steps everyday will help us all get to where we need to be. Group projects are controversial class dynamic BY R ICO PALMERIN FEATURES EDITOR . Following an announcement of a group project, many students moan and groan because of bad experiences. Lack of partner participation results in a lower grade for the group, not just the individual. Other students are very independent and enjoy relying solely on their own abilities to earn their grade. With s a much antagonism toward group projects, why do teachers continue to assign them? Do they just not care what students think? Or do they see group projects in a different light? * Professor Doller uses group projects as a large portion of the grade for her FMST 300: "In general, I find students a re at first quite anxious and w orried when they learn that there will be required group projects. Students a re understandably concerned that their grades wifl depend on someone else's performance/7 - Sandra Doller Elements of Cinema course. "I believe group work challenges students in some very productive - ways, inviting them to think beyond their own perspectives, to share ideas, to be inspired by each other's creativity, and to form bonds with other students," Assistant Professor of Literature & Writing Studies, Sandra Doller, said. Perhaps nothing in our courses gives us a taste of the real world as much as group projects do. They force us into uncomfortable situations, with people we don't know very well, and demand that we work together productively. Any students who have had a job, volunteered at an organization or even joined £ club can see the parallels here. This is why group projects, for as much as they hurt, help us even more. They pull us away from our academically reinforced sense of self-dependence and help to prepare us for reality outside of school. As Doller points out, "Group projects build a sense of camaraderie and community, which I think is one of the most important things in keeping students engaged in their own learning." Group projects aren't the flu, but the bitter medicine we need. So next time a group project comes up, instead of responding with the negative, habitual groan, students should make a conscious effort to have a good experience and invest t hemselves in the assignment, and others, will follow hopefully follow their lead.

What makes this even worse is that with some bands, these venues are their only local stop and the sole chance to see them. This should not be the case as music is a popular outlet for the stressed student. In addition, venues that are 21 and over make it difficult for students that have friends over and under 21 to find things to do together. The majority of comedy clubs are also 21 and over venues. Students are unable to see an outlet where they can laugh after a stressful day. These venues are usually designated as 21 and over due to the fact that alcohol is served on the premises or because the show is being held within a casino.

She then went on to be the Director of the Master's in Tribal Government Management and Leadership at Cal State San Bernardino. Dr. Proudfit knew she always wanted to be at Cal State San Marcos because it is the homeland to her people. She is a descendent of the Pechanga band of Luiseño Indians. This semester, Dr. Proudfit teaches Imagining Indians: American Indians in Media, Film and Society (NATV 38Ó-1). Her class helped launch the first Annual San Diego American Indian Film Festival. Next semester she will be teaching American Indian Women and Activism (NATV 380-3) and American Indian Communities (SOC 348). Dr. Proudfit has restructured Native Studies to grow it into a department and has developed six courses. "I love teaching; I love that you can really impact someone's life. I believe that education is the path to selfdetermination and its something that no one can take away from you," Dr. Proudfit said. She loves when students are engaged and excited about being in the classroom. She also encourages all students to take a Native Studies class and not think that it is just for Indian students because "it is for everybody. You're an American. Our history is your history." Review of Sky Ferreira - Night Time, My Time �A & E Editor: T Faith Orcino cougarchron.arts@gmail.com 'John Dies a t the End' A trophied L andscape G lance i nto M CASD d o w n t o w n BY K ATIE G ARNER STAFF WRITER There's something satisfying about a good ghost story. The pulse-raising, spine crawling tales of murder and mystery are refreshing no matter what the season. Horror fans everywhere will appreciate a chilling novel that keeps you biting your lip and fearful of shadows on the wall for days on end. Well, this book isn't quite like that. David Wong delivers a never-ending stream of laughs in his debut novel John Dies at the End. Successfully blending the genres of horror and comedy, Wong's novel promises nothing but the most insane spiral into crazy you may ever read, in this life and the next. The plot revolves around two college dropouts, Dave and John, who gain the ability to see all manner of supernatural creatures after a party one fateful night. Amidst flying mustaches and girls bursting into snakes, Dave and John have no idea what they're doing and their decision-making skills leave much to be desired. But c aa they save the day from the most powerful entity of evil in the universe? B Y L ISSETTE N UNEZ STAFF W RITER All signs point to no. Dave's deadpan narration and John's Don Quixoteesque persona are a hilarious contrast and tremendous fun to read. Although the action packed plot proves confusing at times, once you pick up John Dies at the End you'll be laughing too much to con- sider putting it down. The author is currently the executive editor of the humor site Cracked.com and last year published the sequel to John Dies at the End, which is entitled This Book is Full of Spiders (Seriously Don't Touch It). As we almost approach winter break, I would like to recommend the Museum of Contemporary Art of San Diego, a museum known to have various types of eye catching artwork. One which stood out more than the others was Atrophied Landscape, an art piece made by Travis Somerville. The painting detailed a lone house that is perched on top of Martin Luther King's head and a collage of luxury ads from 1960's magazines surrounded it. Moreover, the medium Somerville used in his artwork was oil on a canvas, which he completed in 2009. Travis Somerville grew up in towns throughout the southern United States. Being born and raised in the South influenced Somerville to explore the history of race and racism through his art. Most of his large-scale oil paintings incorporated a collage of which illustrated political icons associated with their notorious cultural Photo courtesy of mcasd.org. setting such as the piece mentioned above. His sculptures and installations also reflected on the complexities of racism that enlightened a point of how departed society is from discussing U.S. oppressions and colonial attitudes. His education sprouted through the works of Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, where he studied and attended San Francisco Art Institute after getting situated in San Francisco. Today, Somerville's work has been included in numerous museum exhibitions. One in particular enlightens the view on human rights, which is "The State of Human Rights." It is an international exhibition consisting of 70 contemporary artists who devote their styles of art to human rights. Overall, this would be a great place to see as a family. It opens a sense of unusual thoughts that are not usually triggered during the realm of being part of society caused by of all its distractions such as the media, politics, religion and propaganda. That being said, let us enjoy a true sense of freedom for once under the open-minded views brought by contemporary art and its attempts of expanding thoughts far beyond one's imagination. The museum is in Downtown San Diego at the Jacobs Building at 1100 Kettner. It is open from 11 a m. to 5 p m. every day except Wednesdays. Movie review Thor 2: The Dank World Cougar Shuffle - Winter jams B Y Z ACH SCHANZENBACH By Amanda Lenox STAFF WRITER There are hundreds of superheroes nowadays, but how many of them are gods? At least one, that's for sure. When Marvel's demigod from Asgard made his bigscreen debut in 2011, Thor's film didn't have quite as big an impact as Iron Man or Captain America. But it's still a good watch. Thor returned a year later alongside our aforementioned heroes and others to stop his brother Loki's evil plans in The Avengers. Now after another year, Thor is back for more. Thor: The Dark World engrosses its audience more than its 2011 predecessor. While Thor placed more focus on the Asgardian's character development than on super awesome action scenes those superhero movies are known for, The Dark World involves a lot more action than anything. So what is our demigod hero (Chris Hemsworth) up against this time? An evil elf named Malekith (Christopher Eccleston) wants to destroy the universe with a destructive weapon known as the Aether (must be a South Pole e lf...). With a crazy dimensional fissure of sorts coming to Earth, the destructive liquid finds a way to seep into the bloodstream of Jane Foster (Natalie Port- It ' s the holiday season once again!

If you prefer thè classics ; man), Thor's human love interest from Earth. For about the first 50 minutes, nothing goes right for our hero and he is finally driven to such desperation that he actually busts his brother out of prison. This is where the film gets much more4nteresting, starting off with Loki (Tom Hiddleston) making some rather hilarious comments that make Jane's comic-relief intern look rather bland. As for the crazy dimensional fissure that comes to Earth at the climax of the movie, well, let's just say that gravity is defied and a portal of sorts is created. When I say portal, don't be thinking of Loki's portal at the climax of Avengers. This one is much more chaotic. The story as a whole is well-done, although it leaves a little ambiguity about what's become of Thor's father Odin (Anthony Hopkins). Hemsworth and Hiddleston do a fine job creating tension between the two brothers, and ultimately the viewer's expectations are turned completely upside down. When all is said and done, if you thought Thor was somewhat slow compared to other Marvel productions, then you'll have no problem with The Dark World. It's a worthy watch. PS: Marvel fans may want to stick around after the credits start to roll; there's a little hint scene after the first quarter of the credits. But then what were you expecting? As for what's after all the credits? Well, it's not much...just an epilogue, really.

"But never fear, there is an alternative to this nightmare: the thrift store.

Whenever I go back home to San Diego, I try to go thrifting. I usually go to Broadway and the whole street is filled with thrift stores. I budget my spending to about $20, and I usually come home with a trash bag filled to the rim with my purchases. Moving to San Marcos, I want to look for moire thrift stores, and I know that there are plenty of them close by. i want to go to Oceanside and go thrifting. I believe thrift stores are great places for students who are on a budget especially during the holiday season. Thrift stores are everywhere.

Orfalea voiced his desire to donate a child care center to California State University San Marcos in visits with campus dignitaries and reporters. "That's my cause," Orfalea stated, and also noted that he has donated child care centers to other colleges and universities, Orfalea likes to think that it was his ability to notice what others overlooked, or not bothered to understand, that has given him the edge in business. Orfalea has built a small student-service copy center into a chain of more than one thousand stores located around the world.

Belinda Peters is one adjunct faculty member who has had enough ofwhat she calls the "deprofessionalization" of university teaching.

In the near future, sporadic daytime closures can be expected at the east-bound on ramp for paving. Also the east-bound off ramp is subject to closures from 8:30am 3:00pm to allow for underground activity. These closures should not pose a major inconvenience, and dates for closures are always posted on the CSUSM web site. According to John Tiersman ofWier Construction they are only closing roads as the contract calls for it. "It is a city The Twin Oaks Valley Bridge of San Marcos contract and Cal Trans manages it." The demolition of the old bridge will be done only when phase one of the new bridge is fully functional. Phase one of the bridge is being built with a complete system ofpower lines (water, gas, telephone, and cable) so there will be no disruption in the power supply. It is all a matter of "San Diego Gas & Electric throwing a switch" according to Nichols. The demolition of the old bridge is a night job so thefreewaywill only be closed at night when the old bridge is destroyed. The old bridge will be taken apart, safely, piece by piece.

From pg. 1 ness; and Valorie Ashley, Director ASI was not notified of Orfalea's it's the people that turn you on. of Development in the College of He claims, "The predilection is the busy work. People forget to see what the hell is going on. They're working too hard... There's something about sleep you know... People should lighten up and look around. Busy people see today and yesterday, not tomorrow." Orfalea has been looking around the CSUSM campus for several years. Bemoaning the absence of a child care center on campus, Orfalea said, "I can't image how a big institution can't afford child care." Although it is not clear at this time if a child care center will actually become a reality, during an informal interview prior to his seminar; Orfalea stated "I'm really with you on having day care here. I'm thinking about donating a child care center here." Others at the informal interview included local reporters; Regina Eisenbach, Interim Associate Dean of the College of Busi- Business. Upon learning that the campus had developed an off-campus child care program since his last visit, Orfalea wanted to know more about theASI Early Learning Center. Orfalea was excited to learn about the CSUSM students' consensus to support the campus child care center. "Maybe we can match the fees," he said with a smile. It has long been the hope and dream of Associated Students and the University community to have an on campus facility that could grow with student needs for quality child care services. The Office of University Development handles most fund raising for campus building projects. Negotiating for large donations is typically not the realm of Associated Students, though they have the charge offunding and operating campus child care. Indeed, rekindled interest in the university, or an on-campus child care facility. While ASI has made significant progress towards the goal of an oncampus center, Director of Development, Linda Fogerson says, "We are totally supportive ofhelping ASI bring a child care center to campus. We will do whatever we can to help make this dream a reality." Associated Students operates the ASI Early Learning Center, an off-campus facility for the children of students, faculty and staff. The Center is licensed for 48 children, most of which are children of Cal State San Marcos students. Funding for the center comesfroma mixture of student fees, tuition at the Early Learning Center, and some donation funds. Student fees collected for child care are processed through the Associated Students' budget. I like the feel of the campus, smiled Orfalea. "I like the people; They'refriendly.It's a brand new culture." As he toured the campus, he noted that people walking on the track, walking to classes, and walking through the halls tend to walk in pairs or small groups intent on discussion. Orfalea has taught at numerous colleges and universities like Harvard, Yale, UC Santa Barbara, and Cal Poly. He noted that on his last trip to Stanford that most of the students there tend to walk alone. It is not yet clear if Orfalea intends to follow up on his desire to help CSUSM bring a child care center on campus. He'll have more time now to consider it. Orfalea wanted to tour the existing off-campus Early Learning Center, but his tight schedule prevented him His private jet was scheduled to take off on March 24 at 1:30pm Tuesday, April 11,2000 5 W o r d s rc> L ive B y June Hodges Always do your best.

Whatever reaction you feel determines Greekfraternities/sororitiesfor Blacks and Latinos would be student-led outreach and retention organizations that would give minorities an opportunity to bond while engaging in community service. More importantly, it would give many minorities the motivation to stay in college and not drop out. A Black sorority can be a cultural oasis, according to a graduate student who was in a Black sorority at another university. She said she sometimes felt isolated, alone, or different in a classroom where she was sometimes the only black female student. There are also certain manifes- tations of cultural affirmation that cannot be providedfroman individual of another culture. It is idealistic to think that everyone who is willing to bond through "brotherhood/ sisterhood" would do so in a cultural melting pot organization. I am in afraternitysuch as this: the Brotherhood of the Highest Order, the EJand of Brothers, Leathernecks, the United States Marine Corp. But, in reality, individuals in minority cultural groups who have grown up with their own kind can only bond in this matter or are forced to due to economic circumstances. For President Gonzales to block the expan- sion of the Greek System because of his cultural experience or his unwillingness to acknowledge this reality demonstrates a total disregard for the experience of other cultural groups growing up in the United States. Most CSU and UC schools have black and Latino fraternities/ sororities. Expanding the system would more than likely attract and retain these groups at CSUSM.

Based on the true story of an educated man living as a bohemian on the streets of New York City in the 1940's, the story focuses on the relationship that develops when Joseph Mitchell, a writer for the New Yorker Magazine, does a story about Joseph Gould. Gould, better known as Professor Seagull because he is said to know the language of the birds, is an eccentric man who chooses to live on the streets. He has given up his life as a scholar so that he may record the conversations of ordinary people. His life's obsession, the record of common dialogue is what Gould considers the "true history" of people, "The Oral History of Our Time." In a state between madness and genius, and surviving on money given to him by friends and strangers, Joe Gould takes Mr. Mitchell (and the viewer) on a whirlwind tour of New York society. From overcrowdedflophousesto high society parties, every moment of thisfilmis genuine and well done. Ian Holm, spectacular in his display of emotion, is both captivating and convincing as Joe Gould. Stanley Tucci, who also stars as Joe Mitchell, directed thisfilmwith an artful eye, paying attention to the minutest details. From voyeuristic cinematography to splendid costumes, thisfilmhit every mark. There was not one poor performance in this two-hour movie. Although Susan Sarandon and Steve Martin make short guest performances, this is not a mainstream movie and will probably not appear in theaters for long. So go to theaters while you can and pay the outrageous price to see Joe Gould's Secret-it is worth every single cent.

A slate is a group of like-minded candidates who run together with similar positions and goals; they are not necessarily official. Anyone interested in recognizing who these slates represent need go no further than spotting the clustering of signs on campus. Thefirstdispute was over a mistake concerning the time signs could be posted to start the campaign. The Dean Manship slate posted signs on the quad and in front of Craven Hall before the Stacey Helton slate had a chance to do the same. The Helton slate claimed the Manship slate received special privileges, alleging that the slate was allowed to skip a mandatory meeting that was required of all participants in the election.

Large companies, like Target, were present at the Fair, but so were smaller companies, like Modern Postcard.

On April 25 and 26 students will have the option to vote yes or no on increasing the semester fee for Health Servicesfrom$20 to $35. Health Services hasn't increased the semester fee since the fee was established in 1994. The average yearly fee for student health services in the CSU system is $108. Dr. Karen Nicholson, the Director ofHealth Services, believes that students did not attend the forum because they are not aware that these Health Services exist So instead'of conducting an open forum, Nicholson passed out free bottles of water and pens to any student who walked by. Reactions to the fee increase vary across campus. A student, who prefers not to be named, stated, "No way. It's just another fee. I never use Health Services." Elena Medina, another student, stated that she would support it as long as the increase was gradual and services would be provided with the increase. She stated, "Students are here awayfromhome. They need these services. If the students live at home, these services are much cheaper."

"They shouldn't just take the first job open to them," said Punch. In addition to the fair, the Career and Assessment Center offered free workshops throughout the day, including one aimed to help prospective employees "dress for success," and another to help students draft an effective resume. All of the workshops were well attended, some to the point of overflowing. Perhaps the only folks unhappy with the success of Job Fair 2000 were campus regulars Jed Smock and his family. At the height of the event, and unable to compete with the noise from the job fair, the confrontational reverend was observed sitting at his usual post, quietly sipping water. agreed that action must be taken immediately. Some ICC members are fed up with their peers. Several clubs on campus will be unable to obtain their needed funding for events they have been planning, because the council has been unable to vote on anything for over a month. Other groups, like the Odyssey Club, are waiting for the council to reach quorum so they can be officially recognized as a club. They have been waiting for weeks and were visibly agitated at the realization that they would again be denied club status. Rita Reynolds and Reanna Wertz, who are both running for Executive vice-president of ASI, felt that clubs do not take ICC seriously enough. Wertz, president and co-founder of the Future Educators Club, sighted rapid growth in ICC as part of the problem. "The jump from 9 to 52 clubs has taken a dramatic toll on ICC. The policies are going to have to change." "I am disappointed with the presidents of the clubs who do not attend," said Penny Lanese, Anime Project Alliance. "If you don't care about your club,, you shouldn't have chartered it." Lanese went on to acknowledge ' those in regular attendance, "The ones who do go display praiseworthy dedication." Reynolds and Wertz both * felt that some clubs see ICC as simply a place to go when they need money. Reynolds, president and co-founder of the Victorious Club, insisted that ICC is "not just for funding. It is a place for clubs to exchange ideas, to support each other." �)e iPribe 2 (Tuesday, April 18, 2000 SIGNS Cont. FromPg. 1 Teacher Fair a Success Cynthia C.

According to ASI Presidential candidate Stacey Helton, all prospective candidates had to attend a mandatory meeting on Tuesday, April 4, at 1:30pm that covered election rules or else they would not be allowed to run in the election. According to sources familiar with the meeting, all of the candidates on the Stacey's slate attended the meeting while an only a few of Dean Manship's slate showed up to the meeting. Although candidates were prohibitedfromposting campaign signs until they attended the meeting, Dean Manship's slate posters were posted in the morning before the actual meeting took place. In an e-mail, Bobby Radovich states that, "In fairness to all candidates, we the elections committee must enforce the rules at all times. Ignorance of the rules will not be an excuse so this meeting is crucial." Asked why he did not ask them to take the signs down he said, "That it would be a waste of time. I asked for forgiveness. I just want to keep the election positive." the team has quickly made a name for itself.

With over half the meets competed, the women have qualifiedfiveindividuals and one relay team, with more individuals nearing the standard of their respective event every week.

The talent W omen's Track at C SUSM Dean Manship for his part denies that any special treatment was given to him saying that, "We have done everything right We haven't got anything against the other slate." When asked if the large number of complaints against them were due to other factors he added, "They think we are a bunch of incumbents. It has nothing to do with ICC or club matters. We have good ideas. I want to have a positive campaign." Another dispute between the groups involves the enforcement of sign rules. "You are allowed four mistakes. If you go over the amount you are not allowed to run," said Penny Lanese, a candidate on Stacey Helton's slate. She also stated that rules are not being enforced to the fullest extent. She claimed that Dean Manship's slate had violated the rules twice while she claimed her slate had not. Dean said that these charges were unfounded and said, "I don't want to say anything negative." The person in charge of sign postings and citing violations is Gezai Beihane, Student Involvement Coordinator for the Center for Student Involvement. He contradicts the charges made by Helton's slate by saying, "I have heard complaints but no rules have been violated." He explained that there are strict rules for posting signs, but during election season the rules are relaxed. Despite this and other inside disputes both Dean Manship and Stacey Helton said that they wanted a positive campaign focusing on issues. does not stop at these women either. Renee MacDonald is a top challenger for the Half Marathon, Jackie Campos recently qualified in the 3000 meter walk by nearly two minutes and Mirna Hernandez is ranked in the topfivein the discus. Heather Garritson is currently under the provisional mark for the 3000-meter run-which almost guarantees her a seat on the plane to Nationals-and is expected to hit the standard qualifying time in the near future. In a meet at UCSD on April 8, the womenfinishedfifthout of eleven teams-an outstanding feat considering they were missing Downey in the 200 and 400, Laura Wilson in the 400 hurdles, and sprinter Jessica Walker in the 100 and 200 due to injuries and sickness. Thisfinishonly proves the strength of the team. It is a sign that they can look forward to an exciting second half of the season.

As a recent addition to the student body at CSUSM, I feel that I can present a fresh view to ASI. I believe that my diverse working experience, including management and customer service, has prepared me for the rigorous demands of ASI President. I am currently the President of the German Club, as well as Treasurer for both the History Club and the Victorious Club, and Secretary for the American Indian Student Alliance (formerly AISES). As ASI President, one of my goals will be to make sure that information is readily accessible to all students. This will help students to know what is going on and to voice their opinions before action is taken, not after the fact. I will also work to improve the Dome, with a wider variety of foods and extended hours. In addition, I am in daily communication with Rita, candidate for Exec VP. I will also hold weekly meetings with each of the executive officers to continue the vision of ASI Team 2000. To ensure that ASI is serving each and every one of the students at CSUSM! You, the students, will always be uppermost in our minds. http://change.to/asiteam2000 My name is Dean Manship and I am running for the office of President of Associated Students Incorporated. I have been involved in ASI for two years and am currently the Inter-Club-Council Chairman. I have been dedicated to promoting student life on this campus, which will continue to be my top priority for both day and evening students. As your President, I will be committed to building lasting partnerships between the local business community and the campus community to enhance ASI's services to you, the students. I am committed to representing the concerns of students, and promise to keep your best interests in mind in every decision ASI makes. Associated Students is a tool for all students to have their voices heard at all levels of the university and make our careers as students more enjoyable and productive. I WILL BE YOUR VOICE!!! My passion as a student advocate will only enhance ASI and the student life at California State University San Marcos. My name is.Raeanna Wertz and I am running for the position of Executive Vice President of ASI. I came to this university in the Fall 1999 with experience in student government. I was the Interim Student Body President at Mira Costa College during 1998 and was elected as the Executive Vice President. I was also the president of the Future Educators Club and a peer educator in the HIV/ AIDS Peer Educator Program. Currently, I am the president of the Future Educators Club at CSUSM, and the ASI representative for the College of Education. I belong to the Student California Teachers Association, the International Reading Association, the League of Women Voters and I Volunteer at a local grade school. As your Executive Vice President, I will build communication between the students and ASI through committee participation. I will work closely with the ASI President to enhance communication with the campus community. I will use technology to reach as many students as possible with information about what your student government is doing and what issues we are addressing. I bring the experience of a re-entry student, and I bring enthusiasm as I am new to this campus and look forward to a great senior year. Rita Reynolds Major - History Executive Vice President I have been a student at CSUSM since Fall 1998, and I have a passion for this campus and seeing all of the students here meet or exceed their goals, as well as having a memorable experience at CSUSM. I believe my experience working as a manager for many years has been excellent preparation for the position of Executive Vice President. Additionally, I am the cofounder and seated president of CSUSM's Victorious Club, Treasurer for American Indian Student Alliance* and a member of the History Club. While at Palomar Community College, I was the first president of the Undefeated Club to serve for three consecutive terms. During my tenure as president, t he Undefeated Club was considered the most successful club on campus. If elected Executive Vice President, one of my goals is to bring a greater sense of community to our great $chool, so that when other CSU's look at us, they know who we are, we are CSUSM. We will not be considered just a commuter school or a group of students that use the same buildings on the same ground for our education. We will be CSUSM, in a united voice and mind. http://change.to/asiteam2000 My name is Penny Lanese, and I know I will be an excellent Vice President of External Affairs because I have pride in this University, love to travel, and I love to learn from other people. As Vice President of External a ffairs I hope to help rid the University of the "Commuter Campus" label. Many people attending this University choose to attend, and have the right to feel proud of their education. Conferences and social gatherings do help the overall system, and it is a valuable tool to travel to other campuses to learn how to fine-tune our own University. Because the job of the Vice President of External Affairs is to travel to other California State University campuses, I aspire to talk and learn how the other campuses dealt with similar problems that we currently have, namely: parking issues, fee increases, and lack of courses and majors. My nalne is Robin Milch and I am running for the office of External Vice President of Associated Students Incorporated. I transferred to this university from Mira Costa College in the fall of 1999. At Mira Costa, I was the Administrative Vice President as well as the Vice President of Programming. Through each of these positions I was able to acquire leadership skills along with a vast knowledge of how student organizations operate. On this campus I am currently the representative of College of Arts and Sciences. Through this position I have been dedicated to promoting student involvement on this campus, as well as representing the concerns of students. If I am elected External Vice President, I will be committed to building communication between ASI and students. I want to be your voice and to represent you and your needs on and off the campus with respect to the external community, locally and nationwide. Not only will I be able to bring experience to this position, but also I will be bringing my enthusiasm and dedication to student government. Together we can make a difference. My name is NeWsha Digius and I am running for the position of Vice President of External Affairs. I am a Communications major and I am planning to go to law school. I feel I would be an asset to the ASI for several reasons: my exp rience with ASI, my leadership nability, and my enthusiasm for student government. My experience with ASI began last year as the College of Business Representative. My second semester in ASI, I was^ elected interim Vice President of External Affairs The knowledge and experience I have gained as the VP of External Affairs makes me the best candidate for this position. I am knowledgeable about current legislation that directly affects CSUSM students. I am also familiar with the California State Student Association (CSSA), the CSU Board of Trustees, and the CSU system. I am an active member of Alpha Chi Omega, holding several positions including social chair, sophomore standards board representative, and the vice president of intellectual development. I am the president of the Peer Education and Support Club. Getting involved with ASI has enriched my enthusiasm for student government. I will endeavor to represent my constituents as the Vice President of External Affairs. Value-driven leadership is something that is difficult to instill, and I, Scott Crossman, would like to continue the changes that are being offered by the Associated Student Incorporated. I have been attending San Marcos for over three years now. My major is business administration - service sector management. I feel the position of Vice President of Finance is one that offers "real world" experience that will lead to nothing less than an enhancement of this campus. I feel that successful changes do not take place overnight and the position for which I am applying for will be challenging. My leadership roles began in high school with various student body positions as well as core roles in sports. Continuing on in work, my determination, enthusiasm, and perseverance led to promotions and eventually to departmental leadership roles. The curriculum in my major, Business Management, is based on sustaining a successful service sector business. The service is attending to the student body here at California State University San Marcos. The dedication and knowledge of this position, I feel, is in my horizon of success and education. The assets that come from this university are the same core values that I will take with me into office. My name is Samantha Beltram, and I am running for Vice President of Finance. I will be an asset to the Associated Students because I have experience as a leader on this campus. I bring experience as the chair of two clubs- AISES and Student-Parent Alliance (which is a club that myself and another single mother founded to promote campus awareness of the existence and needs of this portion of our student population.) I am experienced in how student government works as I have sat on the ICC representing AISES and served on the ASI's bylaws committee. Additionally, as I am raising a family while obtaining my education I have acquired life experience managing money via projecting and maintaining my family's annual budget, keeping accurate records, and maintaining a positive account status. On a final note, I am a highly motivated individual who is very customer service oriented, money management minded, team oriented and dedicated to addressing diverse needs and issues of a diverse student population. My name is Jocelyn Brown and I am running for the office of Corporate Secretary. I am a Biology major, and next year will be my third year at California State University San Marcos. Because of the experience, ideas, enthusiasm and goals that I have, I feel I would be a great asset to you, the students, as your ASI Corporate Secretary. I joined ASI late Fall of last year and currently serve as the Undergraduate Representative. I have been active in promoting forums for students to voice concerns, and I also serve on the Bylaws committee. I am familiar with minute taking and the duties and responsibilities of the Corporate Secretary. As your elected representative, I will strive to do my best to represent the student voice of CSUSM. I love being involved in student government and working towards student involvement and the enrichment of campus life. My name is Ron Hawkins and I am running for C orporate Secretary because I believe I can bring Honesty, Integrity, Knowledge and Experience to a position that i s in extreme need of all those things. I have numerous years as an administrator; I 'm mature enough not to play childish games with your money; I am a dedicated and determined individual by nature that will pursue excellence in all areas affecting student life. I will ensure that all information affecting students is available and is published in an efficient and timely manner. I will ensure that Agendas for all regular meetings will be published ahead of time. I will foster an attitude of service and openness that has heretofore been noticeably lacking. I will ensure that my vote will always be for what is best for the students, not for the ASI officers. I will ensure professionalism in all publications that are the responsibility of ASI, thereby ensuring all outside agencies perceive CSUSM as an outstanding university. Please Vote for Ron Hawkins for Corporate Secretary, and the slate of ASI Team 2000. My name is Tammy Conley and I am a liberal studies major applying for the position of ASI Childcare Rep. As a mother of a student as CSUSM, I hope to bring awareness to my fellow colleagues and surrounding community about the importance of student-parent support needed for those students who desire quality childcare. Along with raising awareness, I hope to work closely with the ASI Childcare Center to provide as many parenting resources for both the parents and the staff who �(Tuesday, April 18,2000 5 ®fje $ r t b e are associated with the program. Because my daughter attends the Early Learning Center, I have a special interest in making sure that my child and every child that attends the ELC is involved in a f un, safe, educational, enriching, and nurturing environment. I am currently the Vice President of the Parent and teachers Club and have participated in the ICC meetings and feel that the experience has and will help me achieve greatness in this position. My name is Roderick Frazier. I am a Communications and Literature and Writing Major, and I am your candidate for ASI Undergraduate Representative. I realize the changes that are so desperately needed at our school. There is a need for better student life on campus. If elected as Undergraduate Representative I plan to dedicate most of my time to bringing more student activities on campus. Ralph Ellison said, "It takes a deep commitment to change and an even deeper commitment to grow." As Undergraduate Representative I will commit to student life, and reach out to the incoming students. I plan to invest the time that it takes in order to make this campus grow. I am currently the president of the yearbook club, a member of the ICC Board, a member of the programming committee, a member of the president's council as well as working at the University Store. I am involved on campus on a daily basis. I will be an asset to ASI because of my deep passion for improving CSUSM for the students. I feel the it is my duty to improve the lives of every individual on campus, and to tirelessly improve the reputation of this school. My name is Wendy Meeks and I am currently a junior, majoring in Communication at CSUSM. I am applying for ASI Representative of Arts and Sciences. As an ASI Representative I would work toward increasing and enhancing , communication between the department and the students. I believe that it is crucial to encourage students to get involved in campus issues. As a student who is focused and committed to performing at the highest level, I understand the struggles and concerns facing students. Over the past four years I have volunteered for CSUSM's Annual "Celebration of Service," and over the past three years have acted as a group facilitator during the selection process. As a Study Abroad student in France, I learned how to adapt to new environments and still accomplish my goals. Finally, last semester I interned for Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez, in Washington D.C., where I faced new and exciting challenges. While there, I had the opportunity to learn about the legislative process through my research of bills, attending committee meetings and responding to the concerns of constituents and contributing to the newsletter. It is my goal to bring my experience and commitment to strengthen communication, thereby- improving student and faculty relations. My name is Michael J. Miller and I am a Visual and Performing Arts Major. I'm running for the ASI representative for Arts and Sciences position on the ASI Board of Directors. Currently, I'm Vice Chair and co-founder of the Pride Alliance and I'm also the founder and president of Student Artists Association. Using my knowledge of student government, on and off campus connections and the skills that I have learned through various positions, I will commit myself to improving relations between faculty, staff, and students of the College of Arts and Sciences. I will use this position to bring the concerns of the students to ASI and to support the College of Arts and Sciences in every way that I possibly can. If given this opportunity, I will do my best to bring prestige and respect to our campus and to our student government. My name is Edward "Tad" Goddard and I want to be your College of Business Representative. I am currently active within the ASI Board Meetings and have more insight than most into how things are done. I've served on the Student Affairs Committee this semester. I've been a student here for four semesters now and have seen how our campus is changing. Some of these changes concern me. Are they taking our best interest into consideration? I want to make sure that they do. I don't want to see any needed programs bogged down in political filibustering or bad ones passed along without some thought. We need someone who will look out for student opportunities and make sure we can take advantage of them. I can make sure this is done. Jennifer Carroll I am a twenty four year old transfer student from Mesa College. I am a business major, with an emphasis on high technology management. I am a junior and am currently in my second semester attending CSU San Marcos. I am a member of Sigma Iota Epsilon, an honor society for business students. I desire to take an active role working with the administration for the benefit of students. I see ASI as a good vehicle for me to hone my leadership shills. As a College of Business Representative, I will conduct more open forums, establish direct communication between the College of Business Dean and its students, focusing on their needs and concerns. I will also offer more literature and information about the College of Business to students enabling them to "get the most" out of their experience here at CSU San Marcos. I am a hard worker, dedicated to achieving excellence.

This is written in response to that piece, and to provide CSUSM students with additional information. The development of Greek life at CSUSM has been ongoing since 1992. At that time students indicated an interest in beginning to develop Greek opportunities to enhance the student experience. Through 1994/95 a selection process was undertaken, underscoring to interested national affiliates that the campus wanted to slowly begin developing a Greek community that would model and embrace a strong commitment to the cultural, ethnic, age, and lifestyle diversity of our student body. Invitations to submit letter of interest were sent to all NPC, IFC, and NPHC nationally recognized social sororities and fraternal organizations, nineteen responded positively. Eight national organizations were interviewed and 4 were selected; 2 fraternities and 2 sororities. At a recent student meeting held on March 23rd with the Vice President for Student Affairs, a concern was raised regarding "promises" made to earlier organizations that would preclude any addition of ethnic based chapters. This meeting prompted additional research and review of archival materials. A decision has been made by the Vice President for Student Affairs to review the level of current interest and to more assertively promote the process to grow our Greek community. A meeting with appropriate campus personnel to oversee this process has already been scheduled. What developed were very strong service-based organizations, participating in a variety of campus and community projects. As our campus has changed in the number of students, differing needs for campus life and in a more diverse need base for develThe opinion piece very oping a sense of community, so strongly asserts that the adminishave the expectations for Greek tration is "blocking" the expanlife. sion of the Greek system.

National requirements are often more stringent than University requirements, and we will work with students to identify appropriate contacts to determine how these can be met. Students with specific questions are invited to contact any of us listed below: Damon Bell, Greek Life Advisor and Assistant Director of Student & Residential Life(Ext. 4970), Sandra Punch, Director of Student & Residential Life (Ext. 4900) Cheryl Evans, Senior Director of College Success Services (Ext. 4863). ing Services has no money to do anything about it, I suggest that there is where y ou should c oncentrate your e fforts to improve. OK, so Parking Services is not w asting my t uition. But you have given me the opportunity t o begin another l ist: "Top Ten Ways i'o Waste my $62 (or will it be $66 next s emester?) P arking F ee".

In fact, over the past 2-3 years several meetings were held with interested students and the Center for Student Involvement staff (now known as Student & Residential Life) to assist them in understanding the process to bring new organizations to campus. Additionally, no proposal/plan for expansion has been presented to President Gonzalez for his consideration. In the absence of a proposal he has not communicated any disinterest or lack of support for expansion. Quite the contrary, he has sent a clear message to Student Affairs that the campus life/ student life opportunities for CSUSM students must be increased. l ots, nor room to put t hem. v ices.

All proceeds from Spring Fest 2000 will support ehildcare services on campus. Novelty games, such as trampoline jumping, sumo wrestling, and a blow-up obstacle course, provided f un for both children and adults. One favorite was "Cameron the Caterpillar," a huge plastic chute for kids to crawl through. Other activities for children included a human bowling game and a 26foot inflatable slide. The youngsters were given balloons and could have their faces painted. Two local bands named Klownfish and Handful provided live entertainment for the event. Campus clubs held refreshment booths to try help raise money for their perspectiye clubs. Circle K International sold lemonade and snow cones. Mr. Taco sold Mexican food for approximately $3-5 per plate. The San Marcos fire department had a fire truck on display and CSUSM campus police showed off their vehicles as well. The Mapapa Acrobats capped off the day with an exciting performance of leaps, flips, and tumbles. Originally from Kenya, the group began performing in Europe, and currently travel the U.S. performing their acrobatics. The event ended with a hat contest where contestants won gift certificates to local businesses and free passes to Knott's Berry Farm. TRACK Cont. From Pg. 2 Every day from 3:00pm - 5:30pm, you can find women sweating it out as they do workouts designed by head coach Steve Scott and assistant coach Wes Williams-all in anticipation of stepping off the plane in Vancouver, British Colombia, Canada to participate at the NAIA Nationals May 2 4-May 27.

Reed focused on California's recent budget cuts approved by the Board of Trustees in response to the $14.5 billion state budget deficit. In order to prevent the projected ten percent student fee increase, the CSU budget must accrue $73.2 million in addition to the already proposed $312.9 million cut. "This funding reduction comes only three years after our budget was reduced by over $500 million during the 2002-03 and 2004-05 fiscal years, which led to significantly reduced student access, as well as a. dramatic increase in student fees," Reed continued.

Because its in its first year, many people responsible for arranging the event were uncertain as to whether or not it would be successful. The event proved to be a memorable one for all students in attendance. "Greek Fair is a time for everyone to come together and have fun while learning about all of the different fraternities, sororities, and Greek organizations that we have to offer on our campus," stated Alex Hand, a sophomore and member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. Throughout the fair, students received free food, participated in games, and live entertainment. Food ranged from free popcorn, Pat and Oscars salads to Little Caesars pizza. The fair festivities began when people started playing the games, which included: football and soccer ball contests, and a strength pole to see who could Photo by Ben Roffee / The Pride With a variety of exciting activities, the Greek fair drew the attention of CSUSM students during U-hour hit it the hardest with a large hammer. Local radio station, 91X, was in attendance to play music for surrounding listeners. Besides all of the fun, the fair was a great time for interested students learn about Greek life at CSUSM. Each fraternity and sorority passed out fliers and other information in order to notify and recruit passing students about their organizations. "This isn't a time for each sorority or fraternity to be competing against one another to see who can recruit more students; it is a time for people on campus to learn more about the Greek life that we have at our school and see if they might be interested in joining it." Said Alpha Chi Omega member Lauren Cerruti. The Greek fair was also an appropriate lead into Rush Week (beginning Feb. 18). While each Greek organization puts on different events throughout the week, Rush Week is a time for students to choose which fraternity or sorority they would like to join. Due to the success of the Greek fair, the event will likely become a tradition on campus for years to come. Primaries bring political activity, discussion to CSUSM BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer It was an exciting week for politics at Cal State San Marcos as the biggest day in the presidential primary season, Super Tuesday, came and went, stimulating a flurry of activity on campus. As polling places like the one on campus were shutting down across the state, CSUSM students flocked the Grand Salon at the Clarke Field House Tuesday, Feb. 5, for a Super Tuesday viewing party from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Hosted by the American Democracy Project and the University Student Union Advisory Board (USUAB), the event featured live CNN coverage of Super Tuesday results and free food for those in attendance. An open-microphone made its way around the room giving students the opportunity to share their opinions about the candidates, important political issues, as well as any other opinions about the overall state of the nation. "I want to be proud of my country again," said a student in the audience. Commentary was not limited to those who dared to offer their opinions on the microphone. Large pieces of paper representing a variety of political issues adorned the walls of the Grand Salon and bore the written opinions of those in attendance. Brief dialogues would emerge on these message boards as people responded to comments made by others. On the topic of immigration, one student anonymously wrote, "America was founded on immigration. While it is a problem that people are coming over illegally, should it really be our main focus?" An arrow pointed to a comment from another individual Photo by Ben Roffee / The Pride Students express political views and opinions at Super Tuesday viewing party ___ read, "Yes. These immigrants come to our country and (often times) are only here to better their lives. What good is it letting our population grow if it isn't going to benefit everyone. We must slow this expansion down before it's too late." Even after Super Tuesday passed, the activities at CSUSM continued throughout the week. On Feb. 7, during University Hour, The Political Science Club hosted Dr. Shana Bass in part of its "Pizza and Politics" series. Dr. Bass, a professor from the Dept. of Political Science, offered in-depth analysis of the Super Tuesday results for both sides of the aisle.

Tickets for the Mar. 15 cocktail party became available for free to students beginning 8 a.m. on Tuesday and were sold out by 10 a.m. the following day. The kick off event provided students with free food and drinks to commemorate the beginning of ticket distributions. Spring Fling will take place on the San Diego Harbor Excursion yacht off San Diego harbor from 8:30 p.m. to 11:55 p.m. The three-storied boat features a live DJ, bars serving refreshments and appetizers; and a casino with blackjack, roulette and Texas Hold'em. Guests can use fake money while gambling with a chance to win a trip for two to Laughlin or a gift card to Chili's restaurant. Although tickets to the event have sold out, tickets for the party bus are still available. Party bus tickets are $20 a person and are available to both students and guests. The bus will go roundtrip from CSUSM to the San Diego harbor and will return following the event. Party Bus tickets are available in the ASI Business Office, FCB 103. "The boat has a capacity of 500 so there is absolutely no way to release more. The question that I keep getting is how do I get a ticket? I know a lot of people bought extra tickets, you were allowed to buy up to three, so my advice is ask around. There is also a Facebook event people can join to ask others for tickets," said ASI Programming Board Social Events Specialist, Molly Durham. �Tuesday; February 12, 2008 From BUDGET, page 1 T HE^PRIDE byRthe legislature." vitality of CSU eed stressed the i lillil system and its direct impact on the economy.

With Mitt Romney's suspension of his campaign, the Republican race narrowed, leaving John McCain as the clear front-runner. As Dr. Bass noted, come-from-behind victories by Mike Huckabee or Ron Paul are highly unlikely. While the Republican primaries yielded a clear victor in McCain, the results on the Democratic side were much different. "What happened to the Democrats in California is really interesting and what happened to Democrats across the country is also really interesting," said Dr. Bass. After the dust had settled, Super Tuesday gave no strong advantage to either Barack Obama -or Hillary Clinton. Making sure to include the audience in the discussion, Dr. Bass asked for opinions on how the candidates reacted to the outcome of Super Tuesday. "They both postured," said student Tawn Kent. "One said they clearly had the largest number of votes and the other said they had greater support in a larger number of states." While Clinton seized the most delegates, winning the biggest prize of the night in California, she won in fewer states than Obama, a clear indication that the primary nomination would most likely be fought for all the way to the national convention. Delegate counts differed among publications, mainly due to differences in regards to socalled "super delegates." Obama narrowed Clinton's lead over the weekend with convincing wins in the Lousiana primaries and the caucuses in Washington, Nebraska, and Maine. The Clinton campaign predicts victories in the late Ohio and Texas contests should negate Obama's February comeback. Dinner Etiquette for all Cougars 4 M ock Dinner promises "no risk" learning experience BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer On Thursday, Feb. 28, an etiquette dinner aimed to teach the formalisms of business dinners and proper restaurant etiquette will be held for students at the I WNSÎGMOÎ'EÁITÓALS XTPMMT Lake San Marcos Country Club. the The The event, sponsored by Associated Students Incorporated (ASI), _ ; J * * ' & e- ' e#térj ' welcomes all Cougars regardless H should incltide a ddress,!i of year or major. teJephoite namber, p riait "A communication major could «IÌ4 iAenááMWAi^ L etters benefit because they will have to n jayfeeeaitedfor g rammar a nd leögtb, ' Lettbt. should ¡ ï p ^ represent the opinions communicate with everybody and know how to act properly (at formal business dinners)," said Freshman, Brian Burrows. The dinner provided consists of a four-course meal equivalent to $35. "I think any major would benefit from the event. There are a million ways to drive a car but there is a right way. Proper etiquette shows that people of all backgrounds took the time to learn how to be formal. For example, if you go to another country with baggy pants and a t-shirt you might accidentally disrespect someone. The way you eat at home may not be the proper way to carry yourself at a formal dinner. You could make people feel uncomfortable in that setting. There are formalities that you need to know, regardless of your major," said Junior and Nursing Major, Angel Castañeda. Due to the popularity of the event, interested Cougars are encouraged to reserve their place immediately by visiting the Career Center in Craven Hall 1400. Res- ervations are $10. (Cancellations are non-refundable after Feb. 15.) "All majors, including Literature and Writing Studies majors, should know how to act in a formal setting. It is a really good deal and a great opportunity to only pay $10 while getting a country club four-course dinner," said Junior and Literature and Writing Studies Major, Brian Mann.

Here's a look at who should've been hired for the head coaching positions and the new coaches being hired as upcoming head coaches for the teams that continuity applied to in the Redskins, Colts, and Seahawks. Washington Redskins- Defensive Coordinator Gregg Williams hired in 2004, who appeared to be the front runner to take over as head coach after Joe Gibbs retired in Dec. Williams was head coach of the Buffalo Bills from 2001-2003, and compiled a record of 17-30 before being fired. You would expect owner Daniel Snyder to try and make a splash and hire a big name coach like he recently did with Gibbs, but Gibbs told Snyder after he retired that continuity is extremely important and will not set back the organization in a major way. Clearly that's not what happened, when the Redskins unexpectedly fired Williams, who is now the defensive coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Indianapolis Colts- Tony Dungy is a spiritual and calm man that has been contemplating his retirement as head coach for the past three years after his team's season has completed. Dungy admitted that he did not want to coach past 50, he is now 51 and again decided that he will return to coaching, for at least one more year. When Dungy does retire, he will be praised for being a great coach and an even better man that deserves nothing but respect. The man that was recently tabbed to be the next head coach is current QB coach and assistant head coach, Jim Caldwell. Caldwell was one of the hottest names out there to be a head coach arid has interviewed for at plethora of head coaching vacancies, before being named future head coach of the Colts. Caldwell, hired in 2001, has head coaching experience as the Wake Forest head coach from 1993-2000, and has developed 6'5 230 lb. laser rocket arm QB Peyton Manning into the superstar that he is. Seattle Seahawks- Mike Holmgren has also been looking into his future the past couple years. The window is closing in on the aging Seahawks, who have won four straight NFC West championships. Watch out for those 49ers, HA! The Seahawks have absolutely no running game anymore, with Shaun Alexander aging in front of ours eyes, with two injury-plagued years since his phenomenal MVP year. The coach that will take over is defensive back coach Jim Mora, former head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, who wasfiredextremely too early. Smart move Atlanta that Petrino hire really worked out didn't it? * Mora was also the former defensive coordinator of the 49ers, should've hired him instead of that bum Dennis Erickson. Jim Mora Jr. also from the Washington area, and his alma mater is the University of Washington, he has head coaching experience, and has head coaching lineage in that his father, Jim Mora Sr. famous for the "PLAYOFFS? You're talking about PLAYOFFS?" line, was former head coach of the Indianapolis Colts. Cougar Baseball: Week in Review BY LANCE CARTELLI Pride Staff Writer The Cougars split their two games this week, beating Point Loma (5-2) and losing to UCSD (3-2). to make their record (3-5) in the young season. In the first game of the week, the Cougars handed Point Loma their second straight loss to the Cougars, 8-5. Point Loma struck first with a lead off double by RF Kaohi Downing, who scored on a double play by CF Kurt Steinhauer. The Cougars came back swinging in the top of the 2 , with three runs on two hits. Leading off the top of the 2 , CF Tristan Gale hit his third home run of the year to give the Cougars a 1-0 lead. DH Terry Moritz then hit a two-out two-run home run to right to extend the Cougars lead to 3-0. SP Eric Julienne had a strong start, winning his first game of the year, allowing just three runs on six innings pitched with three strike outs and two walks given up. The Cougars would tack on three more runs in the top of the 7 . RF Jared Suwyn continued his hot play going 3-4; with his biggest hit being a tworun single to LF scoring two runs in the three-run inning. P Grant Harrell and Jared Suwyn combined for 2 2/3 of one-hit baseball to nd nd th close out Point Loma 8-5 for the Cougars third win of the year. > In the second game of the week, the Cougars faced the #15 ranked team in the nation Div. II's UCSD. The Cougars and UCSD matched each other 3-3 by the end of the 3 inning. UCSD struck first with a two-run bottom 1 of the 1 inning. DH Franco hit a twoout two-run home run to right field. CF Tristan Gale hit his second home run of the week and fourth of the year to lead off the top of the 2 inning. LF Austin Way would constitute, as the last run the Cougars would score this game with a lead off home run in the top of the 3 . UCSD would break the game open with back-to-back two-run innings in the bottom of the 5 and 6 . RBI singles from CF/LF Domanic and 2B Imesori would lead to the two-runs scored in the bottom of the 5 for UCSD. In the bottom of the 6 , a lead-off double by 3 baseman Bono would start off another two-run inning ending with a RBI's from CF Burke and SS Albitz to make the game 7-3. The Cougars struggled to stop the offensive attack by UCSD using seven pitchers with the longest outing of the seven to be 2 2/3 innings by P Johnny Holtman. The seven pitchers combined to give up 10 runs and 15 hits. The Cougars fall to (3-5) on the season while UCSD is now (3-2). rd st nd rd th th th Point Loma 5 rd Plestse recycle this OA I j $NMT I S «M» mm Baseball th S irPRDAYI �Surf team has best season yet Solid performances help surf team capture second place in conference rankings BY AMBER PUHA Pride Contributor This weekend, the regular season for the National Scholastic Surfing Association College Team Season, concluded at Huntington Beach's 9th Street beach. CSUSM posted a 3rd place finish wrapping up a record best season. With a 2nd place overall finish in the conference ratings, participants from CSUSM posted two 2 place finishes, one 1 , and one third. Prior to this season, CSUSM's best ever single event finish was a 4th. This marks a major break through in the team's 8 year history, and marks its arrival as a serious competitive threat to the larger, beach located schools such as UCSB and UCSD. Thanks to the financial support of Hansen's Boardroom, CSUSM will enter the state championships as the number two seed. UCSB was dominant all nd st season, only faltering with a 3rd place at home, at C Street in Ventura. Otherwise, UCSB posted 1st places. (Two of their three wins came with comfortable margins,) But, CSUSM was nipping at UCSB's heals at the first event of season at La Jolla Blacks Beach, taking second by only a 1/2 of a point. Beside UCSB, the only other team to beat CSUSM this season was Mira Costa College. Mira Costa came on strong down the stretch when the twins, Julian and Alex Ganguli, returned to school and collegiate competition in the spring semester. In the final event of the season, Alex led Mira Costa Red to a second place. « The final weekend of competition was both interesting and exciting for CSUSM. Team anchor Scott McBride exited early, as did Ventura event winner Garrett James. Season standout Chris Smith also didn't have his best event, and Aaron Coyle was unable to compete. This put the final outcome in the hands of Timmy Long and Paul Brandlin (freshman), Sean Hastings (senior), and the ladies Erin Lewis and Lauren Nutter. Pressure seemed no problem for these five as they maintained the determination to keep CSUSM on the podium for the 4th consecutive event. Long looked snappy and vertical in the beach break conditions. Long had a best ever performance in the shortboard men's division, advancing through four rounds of competition to earn 9th place. Brandlin hada sluggish start in round one, but stepped it up after that. He won all his remaining heats until just missing advancement into the shortboard men's final earning 7th place. Brandlin and Long were the top point getters earning 23 points each. Hastings, who also looked quick and snappy in the beach break conditions, showed his determination to make the most of his senior year. He has now seen back to back quarterfinal appearances. The ladies made a point of redeeming themselves after early exits at Ventura. Freshman, Lauren Nutter, charged through two rounds of competition earning 9th. Erin Lewis charged through 3 rounds of competition and qualified for the women's final. CSUSM entered thefinalswith 113 points tied for 2nd place with Mira Costa College. The only problem was that Mira Costa managed to qualify three people for the finals, while CSUSM only had Lewis remaining. At this point, Mira Costa's second placefinishwas foregone conclusion. Lewis however staved off the attack from Point Loma and UCSD to move into 3rd with her 5th place finish in the women's final. UCSB finished first in the event, Mira Costa took second, and CSUSM placed third. Another highlight ofthe season was longboarder Christian Clark, who surfs for CSUSM B team. He made every final event this season, earning 4th, 1st, 3rd and 2nd respectively. He has been the anchor for the CSUSM B team and a serious threat to upset in the longboard division all season long. CSUSM B team surfer Derek Vaickus also had a breakout event with his round three appearance. These two buoyed the B team and kept them on track to qualify for the state championships. CSUSM B earned 12th place in the last event of the season out of 25 teams. State Championships will be on Friday, March 7th at Churches Beach in San Onofre.

In game one, freshman pitcher, Breanna Sandberg allowed only four hits in a fiveinning complete game shutout, allowing for the Cougar offense to go to work at the plate. The Cougars set a school record for runs scored in an inning, with a 10-run bottom of the second, highlighted by freshman, Mimi Krutein's base-clearing triple with one out. Sandberg held Bethany scoreless, striking out six en route to the Cougars 10-0 win. The Cougars followed suit in game two, utilizing solid pitching to capture another huge victory.

With a nickname like CSU Stair Master, most students are able tofightoff the "freshman 15" by simply going to class. However, besides the wide variety of stairs it has to offer, CSUSM also has a wide variety of resources and services dedicated to keeping its students healthy. Student Health and Counseling Services (SHCS) for instance is dedicated to keeping you at the top of your game. As stated in their mission, the goal of the SHCS team is "to provide quality medical care that allows students to perform optimally, physically, and mentally; and to enhance their academic and intellectual potential." The staff includes medical and administrative professionals and the facility even includes a low-cost pharmacy. A student is able to schedule an appointment with a Doctor, Nurse, Counselor or Health Educator, Monday through Friday from 8am-4:45pm. SHCS is located just across the street from campus on the corner of Craven and Twin Oaks. For more information regarding SHCS visit the website at http://www.csusm.edu/shcs/. fight Another resource dedicated to a healthier you are the athletic facilities available at the Clarke Field House. The right to use this facility is paid for in part with your tuition every semester, so why not take advantage of it? The Clarke offers a full gym with everything from stationary bikes, to treadmills and free weights to weight machines, Also available to use is both outdoor and indoor volleyball courts. When asked how he liked working out at the Clarke, CSUSM student Travis Wilson said, "[it's a] great place to go work out and socialize with people you might not normally see other places." Wilson also referred to The Clarke as "its own little work out community". The healthy student isn't complete without something healthy to eat on campus. Believe it or not, there are a few places to eat these things. The Dome for instance offers a full salad and soup bar and even has fresh fruit in the University Store, At the University Village Apts. Brian Dawson and family make sure that their students are fed at least one night a week. On Mondays, Dawson usually prepares a meal for 200+ starving college students, ensuring that they are eating healthy and socializing with fellow students. There are also plans in the work for a Student Union which would offer a much wider variety of food to students on campus sometime in the near future, So yes, you should continue to book it up those stairs on the way to class to off the beer belly. But you should also be sure to take advantage of the other resources dedicated to your health along the way. After all, you're only in college once; you should make sure your body makes it out alive.

He definitely did have tech-experts resolved as he waved around a manila envelope leaving us to wonder with anticipation whatever was inside. What he revealed was nothing short of Apple's trademark hype-machine as he pulled out the all-new MacBook Air, the world's thinnest laptop computer and the crown jewel of this year's conference. Granted this new rig is a slick piece of hardware, the question is does it warrant its $1800 price tag? In case anyone is wondering, the MacBook Air is slim, and when I say it's slim, I mean ridiculously slim. Some of the exterior features are a 13.3-inch LED-backlit screen with built-in iSight and mic, 0.76 inches at its thickest and it weighs about three pounds. The weight is somewhat unexpected upon first glance, but that just enhances the sturdiness and mobility of the design. The aluminum chassis is solid with aerodynamic curves and no protrusions, but also it's functional to keep to laptop cool. Its trackpad is a lengthy five inches but there is a reason why. Inside, it sports an Intel Core 2 Duo 1.6 GHz processor with 2GB of RAM, and an 80GB hard drive that clocks in at 4200 rpm. This may seem a little underwhelming considering the older Macbook Pro has a base 120GB 5400 rpm hard drive. However, a 64GB solid state drive (SSD) is an option which conserves power, doesn't spin or heat up and costs an additional $1000. That's right; a $1000 upgrade. I assumed a compact design meant a more compressed keyboard, but lo and behold, opening the laptop reveals a fullsize functional, backlit keyboard. Getting back to that trackpad, aside from normal rotating and pinching, it incorporates new fingering such as a threefinger gesture that enables people to move back and forth on a web browser, which is handy. What makes the MacBook Air such a difficult sell right now is the exclusion of an optical drive. For those who need it, Apple suggests the USB 2.0 SuperDrive available for $99 (yes, another upgrade). It is nice that the laptop has a remote disc function, which detects and runs optical drives from otherMacs or PCs via Bluetooth just as long as it's within the its network, so ^ stalling apps and file-sharing is fine/Still, not having t hatdrivethere is awkward, especially for those who use it for streaming DVDs and music. The ports are nice, but unfortunately the number is inadequate, especially for those that dig that multiple connectivity. The drop-out port has the USB 2.0, a microDVI and headphone jack to go along with the MagSafe power port. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity is absolutely reliant since there is no Ethernet port built in. Having said all of that, it is slim. And it is a Mac. Yes, it is portable and stylish because Apple wouldn't want people to have it any other way. Still, for the $1800 price tag plus additions, I'd say either wait for it to go down or go out and get a MacBook Pro instead. With all those extra accessories to lug around, whether you are a student or avid traveler, there isn't any definitive reason to shell out that much money for something this small. But hey, it IS slim. rdversityVi 'My reaction to the Presidential Primary cm Tuesday vas that I was not surprised by the turn out of fared Anderson Freshman "I was really excited & glued to the TV. because of Super Tuesday.

I support h er platform for the Presidency/' Melissa^ajardo Jtrnofr �TRAVEL t h ep ride Tuesday; February 12, 2008 There snow escape : California mountains bombarded with fresh powder BY ALEXANDER HAND Pride Staff Writer What began as yet another disappointing snow season on the west coast has taken a slight turn for the better over the last month. By slight, I only mean over ten feet of new snow that has buried most ofCalifornia's resorts beginning in early January. It all started over the holiday season, when ski resorts were struggling to cover their trails with the small amount of manmade snow they had to work with, in order to accommodate the holiday crowds. Now it has turned into something entirely different. "We went from scavenging snow all over the mountain to get the coverage we needed—to having to push the snow off the trails and chairlifts so that the mountain could operate," said Jim Larmore, Snow Surfaces Director at Heavenly Ski Resort in Lake Tahoe, CA. The inconceivable part is that a great majority of this snow fell over the month of Jan. In fact, meteorologists are reporting a 2008 record snowfall for the month of January. According to "onthesnow. com," the biggest current base depth is reported at 165" at Squaw Valley, USA. No, that was not a typo—165 inches of snow— which is close to 14 ft. That much snow gives the term "freshies" a whole new meaning. Other mountains in the area report similar data, ranging anywhere from 78" on Sierra at Tahoe to 140" at Mammoth Mountain. Then there is the local favorite, Bear Mountain, which currently reports a base depth of 36-48". Still not bad considering that you could hit up Bear in the morning and go surfing in the afternoon. So what should all this mean to you? It means grab a few friends, pick up a pair of snow chains and take a road trip of a lifetime. If you are just planning a day trip, Bear Mountain might be the way to go. But you should know that taking a weekend to head up to Mammoth or Tahoe is well worth it. When asked to describe the current conditions in Lake Tahoe, Larmore said, "this is the best skiing we've had in a number of years." Just how many years that was, well, Larmore said it was reminiscent to "back in the 80s." To put it more simply, this might be one of the biggest ski seasons any of us have experienced in a lifetime. But wait a second, you're still a poor college student right? There is still a way to get yourself up the mountain without having to sell all your books back midway through the semester. First of all, borrow equipment (boots, board, jacket, as much as you can). If not, rental equipment and or clothing should cost no more than $40 a day. The cost that is going to hit the hardest is lift ticket prices. It'll be hard to find a full day price under $60. Luckily there are places like Mt. Rose that know the extent of what's in your pocket. Rose hooks it up with student days ($29/day) and "ladies days" where all ladies ski for $19. A lot of other places offer group rates and weekend package deals. This is the time to "shred." With much of the season left and at the rate that snow is accumulating, the next 4 months could be the time as well. Ski bums would agree with Larmore, that "this should be one of the better endings we've had in many years." "We are planning on extending our season two-three weeks, The backside of Mammoth Mountain on a bluebird day. At top, a skier at Mammoth Mountain geting the infamous powdershot, possibly to the end of May," said Larmore. But, if you don't get a chance to strap-up by then, Mammoth should be lasting until its infamous Fourth of July closure date.

Best Sports Movies BY DAVID CHURCH Pride Staff Writer What a crazy week it has been for me. Tuesday night I was at the Gaslamp for Mardi Gras. Wednesday was the start of lent where I have 40 days without booze, soda or fast food. Then on Thursday the bug hit me and I was stuck in bed for the weekend. Being stuck in bed for four days, allowed me to watch a bunch of movies, mainly sports films. This led me to this week topic: the top ten sports movies of all time. 10. Remember the Titans. A movie that shows - a team find faith in each other while their community would not. 9. Jerry Maguire. This film brought up the greed and selfishness of players in sports, while brought humor at the same time. Plus, when you think of this film what comes to mind? Guaranteed it is, "Show me the money!" 8. Field of Dreams. This film brings so much more to life than just the game. The film will eventually climb my ladder and move into the top five when I get a little bit older and have kids of my own. 7. The Natural. Everything that goes wrong in an athletes career happens, but a man battles back to get everything he had ever loss. And there is no cheesier ending to a sports movie then this one, but that is what makes it so great. 6. Mystery Alaska. A classic hockey movie that shows what a small town hockey team can do when they are up to the challenge. It is a true hockey game on the pond that brings an amateur hockey team against the New York Rangers. 5. Hoosiers. The greatest basketball movie ever made. An undisciplined team gets light from an unusual coach. A huge underdog team tries to make a run at a state championship in Indiana. 4. Rocky. The beginning of what becomes one of the greatest collection of films. The theme for a great sports movie is to have an underdog story, and this is probably one of the greatest underdog stories of all times. 3. Slap Shot. Probably one of the most of the best slap stick comedy sports films out there. But there are no better one liners •and raunchy humor than this movie brings to the picture. 2. Bull Durham. A love triangle that has an experienced catcher, a wild pitcher and a loving groupie who gives the two the love and advice they need. L Miracle, There is not a more famous quote in the sports world than A1 Michaels, "Do you believe in miracles? Yes!" Of course I am going to have a hockey movie as my number one, and yes I have three in my top ten. But Miracle is a'film that shows how a country that needed a miracle got a hockey game.

The harmonious and self-proclaimed "original gangster from Cleveland," Bushwalla counts his past 22 years of performance as merely the foundation for his current career status. At the youthful age of nine, Bushwalla, or back then known as William D. Galewood, joined "Kids on Broadway," (a live musical theater group for youth) in which his love for performing, acting, singing, and bringing joy into the lives of others was first actualized. Rocking the mic around town and across the nation, the former clown (yes, a professional clown for 8 years) beat-boxes and entertains at anywhere from low-key house shows to playing international festivals with his roomie and longtime friend, Jason Mraz. This past weekend, I had the lovely opportunity to catch up with Bushwalla for a brief interview in the sun, overlooking the Oceanside Pier, as we contemplated the fate of the shabby house whose glory days of being in "Top Gun" have long gone. I have also been fortunate to attend several of Bushwalla's shows as of late, as he is wrapping up a month-long M Sunday night residency at Mueller College, across the street from the former Twiggs Green Room down in University Heights. Don't worry; you can still catch him there this upcoming Sunday! Each show not only encouraged my obsession for live music, but it transformed me into a pivotal element in the show itself. You see, should you be so lucky to partake in a Bushwalla experience—and I should hope you would—you would quickly find that audience participation at shows is not only encouraged, it's mandatory! At any Bushwalla show, you might be pleasantly surprised to find Bushwalla trying to balance his guitar on his chin, and walk across the audience's chairs with everyone still seated—among other humorous antics—all of which cement his showmanship, his talent, and his affair with improv. Therefore, without further ado, the following is an excerpt from the wildly amusing and singular interview with Bushwalla. The Pride: How did you come up with the name Bushwalla? Bushwalla: I used to listen to the Ghetto Boys when I was 16 years old. They had this guy, Bush with Bill, and I had a system in my car so I'd bump [it], and my friends started calling me Bush with Billy. So, when I moved to New York to go to school, I went to the orientation and I walk in and I hear "Bushwick!" and I'm like "what?" It was a guy from Cleveland, so then my friends up there started calling me Bushwick. And then I teamed up with Mraz and eventually we were writing together one day and he goes, "Dude, you can't be Bushwick, there already is one," and so I said, "What about Bushwalla?", and it was as simple as that. I didn't think twice about it. Maybe if I would have known then what I know now, I might not have chosen Bushwalla. It's a blessing and a curse. But what's in a name? You know what I mean? I could easily do the same thing under any name. The Pride: What has been the biggest personal transformation in your music so far? Bushwalla: Repetition, playing with different people, doing as many shows as I try to do, and confidence. The more confidence you have, the cooler you look. And I don't mean ego, I don't mean you're up there going "I'm awesome." It's a confidence you say to yourself. Affirmations are a big thing for me. It's all about taking down the fourth wall and being one with the audience, experiencing it with them. I think the discovery of that, that they're as much my audience as I am their audience—if I can get on a ride with them and we can surf together the hour I'm on stage—that's what it is, and that's where confidence comes from. The Pride: Tell me about your new album. Bushwalla: The new album is called "Autodidactical, Freestyle, and Radical." Autodidactical isn't really a word. It's kind of like a made up word, and I wrote it in a song years ago. "Autodidact" means self-taught, which I am. And "freestyle" is basically how I live my life, how I live my shows, it's just how we all should be doing it. "Radical" is just like radical thinking; the album is radical. It really captures the Bushwalla mentality, Photo by Maryam Bushwalla serenading local coffeeshop-goers at Hot Monkey Love Cafe the comedy, the seriousness. The guy who produced the album, Andre DeSantanna, put his touch on the whole thing. He really let it evolve into an art piece and not just another merch item. I think it's a very honest album. I don't think there's a single; I don't even know what a single is. But I'll tell you what, I think every one of them is a song that someone could respond to. Like you may not like tracks one to eight, but you might really dig nine. The Pride: How many tracks are on the new album? lesson? Don't die your hair pink. I was going for another color, but it ended up that way. Live life. Live high. Experience. College gives you amazing things. Independence; that's what I got from college. I met some of the best friends I have to this day in college. It was the seed that planted my adult life. I went to New York and got crazy for two years, and learned how to write songs. I didn't have to try to be what I thought I was supposed to be. i man, Jason Mraz; and he is not only a great friend of mine, he's a fantastic artist. It's going to be done on recycled, biodegradable paper with vegetable oil ink—totally green. Like when we put the album together, I said if there is one thing I want, I want it to be a green album. I went to San Francisco and did the Green Festival, and it's very important to me to not contribute to the waste. Bushwalla: You know, some things in life you don't know— you just trust. I don't know why I make music. If you asked me why I made music, I'd have no idea. If you talked to any of the surfers in front of us, they could try to explain to you what surfing means to them, but the only true answer is what's happening inside of them right now while they're on that board. And it's like after I'm done making music or doing a show, you just go back. But maybe if I stopped in the middle of a show, and you asked me that question, I'd probably be able to answer it, or I wouldn't even have to because you would just see what it meant to me. It's part of breathing. It's part of me. If I were to cut off music in my life, I would be an amputee. I would be disabled. There is no other option than performing [for me]. Performing is music, magic and making peace. Bushwalla: There are 11 listed, and then there are some surprises. I would say the last week of March it will be available online, on iTunes, CDBaby.com, bushwalla.net, a link through MySpace, and through live shows.

The biggest walla.net �Dramas mistaken for comedies BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer For the sake of increasing appeal, a rising trend in Hollywood is to market a film to suit viewer taste. As comedies are a more popular genre, marketers and critics label films as such. Calling serious movies 'laughout-loud' is gross misrepresentation. Most of these films have some moments to laugh at, either to break the tension, or if a situation is farfetched, or because they are stories of real life, which is a comical event. Therefore, I chose to re-label these films as dramas with comedic moments. Though this is not exclusive to the twenty hundreds, I will use recent films to make my point. The first is "Sideways." Even though this 2004 movie includes witty banter between Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church, as well as a funny moment about a car and a tree, this is not a comedy. When analyzed, the content of this film is serious and at times dark. It is not right to treat the topics of infidelity, betrayal, and substance addiction so lightly. Theflawsof both characters are not laughing matters. Following that in 2006 was "Little Miss Sunshine." Those who disbelieve, stay in your seat while I explain why it is unreasonable for this movie to garner a nomination for the Golden Globe for 'Best Comedy.' The moments of comedy occur because some scenes are uncomfortable and laughter is either needed to break the tension or because it is the easiest reaction to feel, especially in a movie with Steve Carell. This movie is 100% drama. Consider the themes of suicide, bankruptcy, heroin addiction, depression, and death. I find it hard to even chuckle at any of these situations, which makes me wonder why so many critics called it the funniest movie of the year. Finally, I find it fitting to mention last year's "Juno." The tagline reads 'a comedy about life and the bumps along the way.' I find this far from the truth. Juno's smug attitude only earns an occasional laugh. However, I enjoyed this film because of the great story about teen pregnancy and relationships. These issues therefore make this a drama. That is not to say I did not like the films, for it is quite the contrary. I t is that I appreciated them on the level I saw them, not the way a money-hungry marketer told me to like it.

Star Brand Imports of White Plains, New York, handles importing the brewery's beer. The brewery brews the ale slowly and all naturally as they have done for over 360 years. The brewery has a long and perplexing history. Thefirstofficial document regarding the brewery dates back to 1634. The brewery was originally a monastery establishment that produced strong beer to aid the pain in fasting. In 1780, the monastery received official permission to sale their beer. In 1806 and under new ownership once again, the brewery began to expand. In 1844, the brewery escaped devas- ^ tation during a revolt against the prince in Munich. In 1881, the brewery begins to utilize the invention of the ice machine to enable them to produce beer year-round. In 1986, they brew the world'sfirstalcohol-free wheat beer. In 2005, they brew the world'^ first alcohol-free yeast-based white beer. Throughout the years the brewery has experienced vast expansion and numerous ownership changes. The website also hosts an interesting yet questionable timeline about the history of beer. For example, they claim in 1500 BC "According to the Egyptian mythology the God Osiris, God of agriculture, taught man the art of brewing beer. The Egyptians learn how to brew beer by allowing barley to germinate in pots and the malt mash to ferment through wild yeast andfinallyrefining the taste of their beer with date sauce." The cardboard container holds six 12 fluid ounce brown glass bottles. The six pack retails for $8.99. The container portrays a snapshot of a family enjoying the outdoors amongst a snow capped Munich. The bottles contain the same imaging. A white bottle cap with the company's logo caps an ale with an alcohol by volume of 5.5%. The ale pours semi-smooth generating a half inch thick head. The head remains trapping in an assortment offlavors.The ale has a murky golden hue common of hefeweizen styled ales. A faint aroma arises from the glass. The ale enters gently. Small packets of taste gingerly massage the mouth. The ale passes leaving a supple wheat tasting residue for an extended amount of time. The soft nature of the ale ensures a pleasant pairing with almost any lunch or dinner item. As always, please enjoy responsibly. On Wednesday, February 13 , student residents can take part in a speed-dating event entitled, 'Come Single, Leave Lucky.' Tables will be up set so that young men and women can pair together and chat for a few minutes and try to make a connection for the most romantic holiday of the year. Recent conferences to share program ideas inspired this event.. As well as a chance to meet a special someone, there will also be hors d'oeuvres th and'mock tails'to refresh flirting people who grow weary. Conrad Ottey, an RA, says, "Our goal is that people get to know each other. It is not just about a love connection, but students getting to meet others." Nick Falconer, a student who plans on attending says, "I hope to meet more than a few new ladies, but having a good time is most important." Based on the success of the program, it may become a yearly tradition.

Days before the protests and riots started, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak effectively shut off the Internet to the entire country, the rationale being, "Kill the Internet, kill the dissent." While, ultimately, the shutdown of the Internet failed to suppress the protesters, it did spark some new controversy in the U.S. Senator Susan Collins, the ranking Republican of the homeland security and Governmental Affairs committee, first introduced an Internet "kill switch" bill in December of last year. "The bill is designed to protect against 'significant' cyber threats before they cause damage," Collins said. Much of the popular news surrounding this "kiil switch" bill suggests that the president will be given the power to entirely shut off the Internet in the U.S. The true objective of the bill, while not as Orwellian as initially believed, still gives a large amount of power to the president. The bill, if passed, will give President Barack Obama, or any president hereafter, the power to "demand turning off access to so-called 'critical infrastructure' where necessary." Many of the supporters of the bill are coming under flak for previous comments decrying Egypt's misuse of power when shutting off the Internet. With the reintroduction of the "kill switch" bill, Senator Joe Lieberman has also shown his support through a statement released earlier in the week. "We would never sign on to legislation that authorized the president, or anyone else, to shut down the Internet. Emergency or not, the exercise of such broad authority would be an affront to our Constitution," Liberman said. The statement failed to cover the fact that a provision in the bill will forbid the courts from reviewing any decision by the president to shut off the Internet. While there is indeed cause for concern, the bill has many hurdles to jump before becoming law. With the reemergence of the bill, many civil liberty groups have publicly spoken out against the proposed legislation. Wired has reported "About two dozen groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, the American Library Association, Electronic Frontier Foundation and Center for Democracy and Technology were skeptical enough to file an open letter opposing the idea."

Cheers and applause exploded among the streets of Cairo as thousands listened to the one-minute announcement televised on state television by Vice President Omar Suleiman confirming the resignation of Mubarak. He also announced that Supreme Council of the Armed Forces will "run the affairs of the country," proceeding the resignation of Mubarak. Chants such as "God is great" and "Egypt is free" echoed the streets of Cairo, while others cheered and waved the coutry's flag as the people of Egypt finally reached a moment long awaited throughout the uprising. As Egypt continues its struggle to achieve democracy, it is known that in order for the country to become stable, it must work on improving many of the country's democratic institutions. For now, with the help of the military, people in Egypt will remain safe as the country strives to rebuild itself and its government. Top: Egyptian protesters stand atop tank.

On Nov. 4, 2010, students thought that California State University San Marcos was going to be added to that infamous list after the emergency response system was sounded and the campus was swarming with policemen in just minutes. With a lockdown in effect and students unaware of what was happening, all judgments were made based on rumors floating around different social media sites. Ending up just being a class play that a student oversaw and perceived as a threat, the CSUSM campus got to see first hand what happens when the emergency response protocol takes effect. "Students must always recognize the emergency system and react as if it is a real emergency every time, no exceptions," Bruce Bradley ¡said, occupational safety and environmental health specialist for CSUSM. Bradley recommends all students be prepared for any possible threat on campus and follow all directions provided by faculty and emergency personnel. He stated that "it is very important for people to develop two mindsets in these days of "unthinkable potential" events; get prepared and stay prepared and always think you will survive no matter the circumstances, being tough mentally is as important as being physically fit to be able to perform well in emergencies." When asked about his reaction to learning that the campus threat was false, Bradley responded, "At first I was thankful that no one was hurt, followed by, what were they thinking, endangering people witîf a clear knowledge of the potential consequences is juvenile thinking." Since that incident, there have been three additional situations where fake or simulated firearms have been brought onto our cam- pus . While none of the other three incidents resulted in a full scale response, all such incidents have the potential to endanger our campus community stated a recent press release from the campus Office of Commumication. "Bringing a weapon, even a toy weapon, to campus is a violation of university policy. University Police should always be notified if an unusual activity is planned that may be a cause for concern," President Karen Haynes said.

The iPad's release anniversary is only two months away, and within the past year a slew of devices have challenged its popularity. The Samsung Galaxy Tab and the Dell Streak are currently the iPad's biggest threats. Though these devices are all tablet computers, they each have distinct features that can mean the difference between a purchase or a pass. The operating system is the most obvious difference in these devices. The iPad, starting at $499, currently runs on Apple's iOS 4.2.1 on AT&T and Verizon's 3G network. Apple's iPhone arid iPod Touch also run on this same operating system (which can be a positive or negative aspect depending on your own experiences). Both the Samsung Galaxy Tab, starting at $549 and the Dell Streak, moderately priced around $200, run on the Android operating system version 2.2 called Froyo. The Galaxy Tab is available on all carriers that offer 3G coverage. The Streak is only available through AT&T's 3G network. Consumers who already have Android phones or iPhones might choose their devices based on the operating systems or networks they are already familiar with. The iPad utilizes Apple's popular App Store to bring users the largest library of applications to date. However, the Android Market's growing fan base has given Apple stiff competition. While proponents of Apple and Android have their disagreements regarding which store is better, a number of the most popular apps can be found in both the Android Market and the App Store. The Samsung Galaxy Tab and the Dell Streak were designed for portability. The Samsung features a seven-inch display and the Dell features a five-inch display. The displays of both devices are in widescreen, a component ideal for watching movies. The iPad's display is a whopping 9.7 inches with a standard 4:3 aspect ratio. When choosing the right device, size does matter. Though bigger does not always mean better. The Streak can be a handy tablet that fits in most any purse or large pocket, whereas the iPad can serve as a light laptop replacement suitable for backpack storage. Each device has attractive features to set it apart from the other two. According to endgadget. com, the Streak is the only one of the three with the ability to make phone calls and send texts, allowing it to serve as a 1" no matter what you want, you c an make your mix with I 14 daily flavors and 50+ toppings! phone replacement.

However, the iPad does have three different models with varying storage sizes; the largest is 64 gigabytes. The Samsung has a 16 gigabyte model and 32 gigabyte model with a microSD slot allowing for more memory. The Dell has only one 2 gigabyte model with a microSD slot.

According to biography.com, the origins of the prideful observance began in the 1920s with the determination of Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the second black student at Harvard University, and with the fraternity Omega Psi Phi's creation of Negro History and Literature Week. Woodson chose the month of February to celebrate black history in recognition of Abraham Lincoln, who was born on Feb. 12 and issued the Emancipation Proclamation, also to acknowledge the abolitionist Frederick Douglass whose birthday falls on Feb. 14. Leaders in black history, such as the influential civil rights movement icon Martin Luther King Jr., influential civil rights icon; Barack Obama, the first African-American U.S. president, and Jtsse Owens, the talented track star have achieved worldwide recognition for their accomplishments. However, Black History Month is more than just Photo courtesy ofmlkonline.net a reserved time to reflect on past achievements. The observance focuses on celebration, encouraging African-American historical research and garnering inspiration for culture's future. Popular media celebrates Black History Month nationwide. The entertainment television channel MTV provides coverage and stories of AfricanAmerican musicians and icons, such as Rosa Parks, throughout the month of February. Black ican Faculty and Staff Association (AAFSA) hosts various events to honor Black History Month. The association holds a Black History Trivia contest, in which winners respond to questions throughout February via email and have the opportunity to win gift cards. More information is on the CSUSM website under "News and Events." Both active participation with on and off-campus organizations and indulgence in learning about Black History Month on television and on the Internet allows for an appreciation of history and accomplishments. Many movements, rights and entertainment have changed lives and the course of American history, so Black History Month shouldn't be overlooked. As time passes, more AfricanAmericans and their talents add to the long list of historically significant events, but as for 2011, those who celebrate black history must embrace the past and present, and express hope for a Entertainment Television, better known as BET, offers online bright future for African-Amerarticles, video and interviews icans and their contributions. highlighting significant AfricanAmerican figures in both entertainment and other mediums.

"Promoting safe sex is a positive thing," Ethan Boyer, a junior, commented Thursday after learning it was National Condom Day. "It's good to educate [students] on their sexual health," human development major Celeste Tenchavez said Thursday after visiting the event. Each semester, student tuition includes a mandatory $70 Students »faculty and staff gathered in Library Plaza on Thursday afternoon to play games with names like "Guess the Lubes "Name that STD" and "How to put on a Condom." Laughter and tongue-in-cheek humor replaced embarrassing or uncomfortable subject matter as Student Health and Counseling Services sponsored the National Condom Day and Safer Sex Fair on Feb. 10, which ran from 10:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. Student Health and Counseling Services (SHCS) invited a variety of organizations to participate in the event, and more than a dozen tables displayed informational pamphlets, sexual enhancement aids, magazines, brochures, and condoms. There were colorful condoms of many sizes and shapes; there were flavored condoms and even some that were contorted into artwork. National Condom Day is a part of the American Social Health Association's (ASHA) recognition of February as National Condom Month—emphasizing the importance of condom use in reducing transmission risks of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). According to the ASHA, there are approximately 19 million new M K H H B H I B H health services fee. This fee entitles all regularly enrolled students, part-time or full-time, to health services provided through SHCS: clinic visits, counseling services, flu shots and other vaccines, women's health exams and more. Tuition also includes a $25 health facilities fee that pays for rent and maintenance of the SHCS clinic at PPH, located across the street from campus at 120 Craven Road, Suite 100. Students may consult with a doctor, ijurse practitioner, nurse, counselor, or the health educator. Visits to the clinic or counselor require no co-payment. Minimal fees are charged for psychiatric services, certain physical exams, laboratory or radiology tests, and prescriptions. According to their website, SHCS "strivefs] to promote services and health education designed to prevent and resolve health problems that may interfere with student retention and success." With that goal in mind, SHCS sponsors events each semester. Coming up on Feb. 22 at noon in Mark 102 is Ask the SEXperts, the first in a series of informational sessions on sexual health issues. Guest speakers will give the curious but shy an opportunity to ask ques-, tions in complete anonymity. Cathy Nguyen said she enjoys working in a "nontraditional environment" as Health Educator for SHCS. One of the reasons SHCS offers their services to students is because it is important for students to have access to free medical care, Nguyen said. "This is my passion," she added. Nguyen's job title describes her duty to educate students about health issues and healthy lifestyle choices, but the job itself encompasses a wide range of tasks from organizing events to helping students with class projects. Nguyen's office is located in the Hope and Wellness Center at 120 Craven Road, Suite 108, next door to the SHCS clinic. Students can schedule an appointment for SHCS services by calling 760-750-4915 Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. - 4:45 p.m. For more information, visit the SHCS website at csusm. e du/shcs/index.html.

This time the circus came to the artificial turf of a football field, on the campus of a local high school. Several dozen media members and guests from around the country converged on Cathedral Catholic High School in Del Mar, gathering to watch Cam Newton throw a football. Newton, this year's NCAA football Heisman Trophy winner—the best player in college football— came to San Diego in January to work with local quarterback coach George Whitfield, Jr. Whitfield prepares young quarterbacks for the college game, traveling with them to major colleges around the country making connections with coaches and scouts. This fall, when NFL quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was cames trophv ra räum Vinnen suspended for thefirstfour games of the season, he chose Whitfield to help Jrim stay in game shape. Newton needed Whitfield to help him transition from the college "spread" offense to the style of the National Football League. Warren Moon, hall of fame quarterback and mentor to Newton, said on Thursday that he had directed Cam's father Cecil Newton to Whitfield. Before college, Cecil had supposedly peddled Cam to play for Mississippi State University in exchange for $200,000. The NCAA decided Cam had not known about it. The son went unpunished, and Cecil agreed not to attend the national championship game. After Cam led his Auburn Tigers to victory, Cecil was photographed embracing his son. A representative of the family said he had watched the game outside the stadium. Fast forward to Thursday morning: the event was meant to mimic Whitfield's normal workouts with Cam, meant to prove that the kid could play professionally. After over a hundred of holds us toting cameras, notebooks and voice recordersfiledonto the field, Newton played parts of a pretend game of football with twelve young men his age, all from Southwestern* College in Chula Vista. Whitfield calmly directed Cam as he tossed them passes, avoided their half-hearted rushes, fired footballs between them as they posed as defenders and jokingly offered them Icy-Hot. Meanwhile, as NFL legend Moon watched from the sidelines, Cecil Newton went unseen. Though made from the mold of omnipresent, caring sports fathers like those of Tiger Woods and Venus and Serena Williams, scandal had turned Cecil into a shadow figure. Surely enough, shadows loomed behind the windows of the press box overlooking the hoards of spectators. "We had over 300 media requests, and we had to deny 250 of them," James Woo, Whitfield's Director of Operations and Cal State San Marcos student, said. "We're talking about a lot of powerful people seáis su that made the time to come see Cam Newton throw a football." The list included Trent Dilfer, former NFL quarterback and current ESPN commentator. Dilfer, known as one of the sports media's harshest critics, seemed skeptical about Cam Newton before the event. After Cam showed off, Dilfer couldn't stop gushing. "That was phenomenal...if scouts saw this, they'd have been slobbering," he said. According to Whitfield, the idea for the event had been jointly created by father and son, wishing to build momentum entering the pre-draft combine: workouts in front of team scouts. "Mr. Newton is still a human being and a dad," Woo said. "Wouldn't you do the same thing for your son?" No one could blame Cecil Newton for shying away from the field on Thursday. For perhaps the event had a second purpose: guiding the family's wish to move on from scandal and focus on Cam Newton's future. If so, at least temporarily, it succeeded.

CSUSM recently created VPA 181, a class dedicated to learning the process involved with the conceptualization, collaboration and creation of a large-scale mural. For this project, students, artist and CSUSM professor Doris Bittar and artist Isaias Crow work to develop a work of art for the UVA. Crow pursues to mesh his unique artistic qualities with civic engagement programs to bring communities together through art. To ensure community inclusion , the artists invited members of the surrounding San Marcos community to participate in the project and work alongside CSUSM students and faculty to represent the aspects of diversity that make up CSUSM's community. The mural is still in its early planning stages. Students, faculty and community members search to pinpoint what it means to be a member of the CSUSM community. "We want to represent us students, you know, really capture the heart of Cal State San Marcos, and we're still searching to find out exactly what that means," CSUSM student participant Brittany Galante said. To answer that question, Galante and other project members set off to interview students from all corners of campus, invoking questions about what it means to be a member of the CSUSM community and what makes CSUSM so unique. The CSUSM community offered words such as "diversity," "inspiration" and "passion." These words serve as a sneak peak into what the mural will convey. The project leaders divided members of the project into groups, where each group Pre-Doctoral Scholarship Eligible students include: «Juniors •Seniors • Graduate Students Scholarship includes: •Fully-funded Summer Internship •$3K Scholarship for Symposiums, College Visits, application/test fee waivers and more •CSU Faculty Sponsorship required With aspirations to obtain For applications and information: doctorate and become Graduate Studies & Research university faculty. www.csusm.edu/gsr l ieCattira« Stata University Tel: 760-750-8824 Email: gradstudies@csusm.edu proposed ideas for the mural. Then, each group presented their ideas to the rest of the project members and leaders. Now, Crow and Professor Bittar can amalgamate ideas from each group into one cohesive mural design. The conceptualizing process of the mural represents the community because it aims to portray multiple groups of people and ideas that aim to unite and improve our campus. The mural's location will be inside the lobby of the "UVA. Since the project's leaders and members want an accurate account of CSUSM student life, they plan to take a careful amount of time to propose their vision. Participants' actual painting of the mural is set to start later this semester. Soon, the mural will greet CSUSM students and residents with an aim to make them feel even more accepted and included in the CSUSM community.

In a matter of seven hours, individual day and four-day badges to the 2011 Comic-Con convention completely sold out. This year's convention sellout is an impressive milestone compared to the 2009 convention, which sold out of badges in roughly six months and last year's convention, which sold out in just two months. Since Nov. 2, 2010, Comic Con attempted to sell badges online to fans twice, but both times, two different sites experienced high amounts of traffic at selling time and crashed before fans purchased any passes. Three months later, relieved fans heard a new site called TicketLeap felt confident their site could sell the badges without overcapacity. Tick- etLeap guaranteed their site to handle a simultaneous amount of thousand people on the site without crashing. Fans relief turned into pure frustration at 9:05 a.m., when the TicketLeap site sent out error messages saying, "We'll be right back. TicketLeap is currendy down for maintenance," and, "We are currently over capacity, and the site will be back momentarily." Fans felt defeated by the new site, especially after TicketLeap's twitter page read, "If you see an over capacity mes- sage, hit refresh. We are under heavy loadrightnow and it should smooth out." After continuously hitting refresh buttons in different stages, some buyers slowly made their way through the pass purchasing process. TicketLeap averaged that fans requested the site 400,000 times per minute. Comic-Con will not disappoint the fans who defeated the ticket purchasing process. This year's convention features a large amount of comic book and sci-fi/ fantasy blockbusters slated for release through 2011 and 2012. The movies "Thor," "Captain America" and "Transformers," premiere later this year, so directors will speak on their films at the convention. Comic-Con may highlight films slated to premiere in 2012, such as "The Avengers" and the much-anticipated "The Dark Knight Rises."

The San Diego Jewish Film Festival portrays the Jewish experience in the form of contemporary films. Our campus also offers a course on the Jewish culture. This semester, the class, History 383: Women and Jewish History, taught by Dr. Alyssa Sepinwall, surveys Jewish culture and the roles women partake in, as Jews. Dr. Sepinwall requires History 383 students to attend a film from the San Diego Jewish Film Festival. "The festival tries to bring to life the diversity of the Jewish experience around the Photo courtesy of lQcc.org world," Dr. Sepinwall said. Everyone understands the struggles the Jewish community endured throughout documented history, but the festival picks films that shed new light on different realities Jews faced. "Tfle films range from Holocaust themes to...Jewish in American baseball and in the Civil War. The films also focus on universal issues like teenage angst, feminism and childhood memories," Dr. Sepinwall added. One film premiering at this year's festival is the French made, "La Rafle." In English, "La Rafle" translates to "The Round Up." The film showcases the true story of French Jewish refugees being 'rounded up' to go to the horrible Eastern European internment camps of World War II. Dr. Laurance Baron, Nasitir professor of modern Jewish history, opened the film with a few words. Dr. Baron spoke of the history of Jews in France, reminding the audience that France was the first country to grant Jews equal rights. "La Rafle," reveals the travesty of these equal rights being rescinded. The spoken language of the film is mostly French, but audience members quickly adjust to reading English subtitles. "La Rafle" is beautifully composed of rich scenes that propel you into 1940s France. Themes of loss, gender, importance of family and human atrocity against each other capture the hearts of the viewer. French actors Jean Reno and Melanie Laurent portray medical physicians, who care for Jewish children while they wait to be shipped off to die. "La Rafle" is one of 40 plus films featured at the 2011 festival. Anyone interested in learning more about Jewish culture or more on life is welcome to attend the festival. "The festival has always been really welcoming to CSUSM students," Dr. Sepinwall said. "Students in History 383 and other classes have been offered free tickets, thanks to the festival and the Leichtag Family Foundation," she added. The San Diego Jewish Film Festival runs from Feb. 10 - 20. This year, the festival added three new venues in Clairemont, Carlsbad and conveniently at the Edwards San Marcos Stadium 18, along with their existing venues in La Jolla and Mission Valley. Actors and directors from the films and guest speakers precede or follow most^ of the presentations, so you may get a chance to speak to them.

Even archaic CD shamelessly allows the mixing of Photo courtesy ofkcrw.com thousands of songs with no qualms about how their redistribution might affect, well, everything, I imagine artists create albums with the idea that they will be listened to in their entirety. Therefore, I abstain from shuffling. With that said, you will note that I was outside my head the other day, as my iPod was indeed on shuffle. Serving as background noise as meaningless as strangers' conversations, the random selections warranted no particular feelings. I know my music well, so when a song came on that I hadn't instantly recognized, I didn't quite know what to do. A glance at my iPod's display read: Joseph Arthur and the Lonely Astronauts, "Faith." Joseph Arthur began writing music as a teenager. The Ohio- based musician dabbled in electrónica before discovering his signature guitar-centric style. In the early 90s, Arthur signed to Peter Gabriel's record label, Real World Records. After five studio albums, Arthur decided to keep his touring band around for albums six and seven, and establish his own label, Lonely Astronaut Records. His latest release, "Temporary People," includes musicians Sibyl Buck, Kraig Jarret Johnson, Jennifer Turner, and Greg Wieczorek. I clumsily paused the song to see if I could compel any more information out of the slight electronic. I had the entire album, but this Joseph Arthur sounded almost nothing like the guy I fell in love with after hearing "In the Sun" off 2000's "Come to Where I 'm From." I slipped a little further out of my head listening to Arthur's haunted voice on "Faith." His grainy vocal offsets nearly cheerful guitar riffs and cymbal-thick drums. "Faith comes in little waves," Arthur offers with a bit of optimism, as "the pain is what makes you believe." The Lonely Astronauts' chorus punches through the heavy-handed instrumentation with bright belts of affirmation making the song's mood more buoyant than glum. Now that my brain is square between my ears, I may confidently propose that to shuffle is to discover. I am in no way convinced that this happy bit of chance absolves any of the aforementioned offenses, but I supposé music's value surfaces when it is listened to rather than heard. Arthur's upcoming tour schedule includes three dates in Los Angeles at the Bootleg Theater, 'Feb. 15, 22, and March 1. Arthur is also performing at Indio's classic music festival, C oachella^ as a member of the band Fistful of Mercy with fellow musicians Ben Harper and Dhani Harrison. , �BEN DEARINGER PRIDE STAFF WRITER DVDs 'Unstoppable" - 20th Century Fox (PG-13) This action thriller starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pine hits stores today.

The next day, President Karen Haynes released a message to the campus community. "I know I speak for all of us that we feel great sadness and empathy for the students, faculty, staff and families of those personally affected by the tragedy at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb. Our sympathy goes out to them as they struggle to deal with the shock at such a sudden and violent loss to their community," President Haynes said. While questions regarding the motives of a student with no record of trouble and in good academic standing will likely go unanswered, administration is reaching out to students and fac- ulty to help focus on preventative measures. "We've had several systems in place even before Virginia Tech because we are such a newer campus," said University Police Department Emergency Manager, Dean R. Manship. "One thing people probably aren't aware of is that we have the ability to lock down pretty much all of our buildings from University police dispatch. So if we had some sort of situation like that, within two seconds they could click on one of their displays to lock down all the exterior doors for campus buildings and interior buildings for some of the newer buildings such as Markstein Hall." Manship stressed the need for students to program the University Police dispatch line (760-750-4567) into their cell phones in order to connect directly with University Police dispatch for a rapid response, rather than dialing 911 and being connected with the Highway Patrol. Students can also register for the emergency notification system at www.csusm.edu/ep to receive notifications only during an emergency. The system can notify students via cell phone, landline phones, text messages, and e-mail. The shooting rampage is the latest to plague the United States since last April's shooting at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University which claimed the lives of 32 people. See Shooting, Page 2 Greek Rush Week begins at CSUSM Interest in Greek life grows as campus expands BY TOM COCKING Pride Staff Writer As another semester passes, comes the beginning of a new one, bringing new opportunities to make new friends and participate in social events. For those who do not know: fraternities and sororities on campus are beginning to grow more and more as the years go by, with new ones being started as our school begins to grow. Seeing this college grow so .quickly makes being a part of it even better. Fraternities and sororities give people, especially those new to Cal State San Marcos, the opportunity to meet new people and experience things they might not be able to anywhere else. Anyone who has been on campus has seen the letters and tables for the fraternities and sororities. This week kicks off the rush week for both fraternities and sororities — and an exciting one it will be. Below are the dates and times and a description of what events will be going on this week. These events help give insight into what these fraternities and sororities are all about. Be sure to check them out.

Tom Short, a traveling speaker from Columbus, Ohio spoke about his Christian beliefs on the stairs between Academic Hall and Craven Hall between 11 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Although CSUSM is no stranger to public expressions of beliefs and opinions, Mr. Short's showing was one of the largest the campus has seen in recent years. Drawing in hundreds of students throughout the course of the day, Short elicited impassioned debates from many otnHArifc resent. students pnrAOPnt Short touched on many issues ranging from evolution to homosexuality, at times provoking heated responses to his controversial statements. Those who disagreed were most often the ones first to speak out, while others simply listened on quietly. "I advocate that we convert the gay people," said Short. "Homosexuality is a sin." One student quickly replied, "That's according to the Bible. Why do they need to be saved because they're gay? Why do they need to be saved because of their sexual orientation?" Despite some of his inflammatory remarks, Short emphasized that he was not there to place judgment. However, students like Nastajja McDonald disagreed. " m not the one s cittino Vif»rp nlfir,reflect their C Christian religion TT'm nAtfliAnnp itting here plac- ilyilv reflect their hristian religion ing judgment on anyone. That's fairly.

Short continued shortly thereafter following a brief conversation with campus police. Reactions were mixed among students in the audience. Sopmore Erika Ervin echoed the belief of many students in attendance saying, "While I do agree with some of what he is saying, I don't like his argumentative methods." Some students felt that Short's style was too confrontational and didn't necessar- 5 f from those things." freerom those things." Short will continue on to other college campuses to conduct similar demonstrations. More information Short's work can be found at www.shortreport.com.

Judy Heard, Sexual Health Resource Advisor at Birth loice in San Marcos stressed the importance of being safe and informed.

The processor takes a few seconds and validates the transaction. Then a Cougar selects one or multiple sodas. The Cougar finishes by pressing the blue "Complete" button. The processor then displays a "Thank You." The processor does not print a receipt. Although various credit card and banking companies might have different methods of identifying the transaction, the transaction shows up as "Vend at Cola" on monthly billing statements. Not all Cougars are eager to use the new process. "I wouldn't use it because I am very skeptical. There are just so many ways that people can get your credit card information," said Senior Business Major Jillian Cox. Last semester Coca-Cola vending machines across the campus received an upgrade allowing Cougars to utilize credit cards in purchasing a soda. The card processing machine accepts credit cards or banking cards with credit card logos and does not require the insertion of a personal identification number. The addition happened over night and not all Cougars are aware of this new capability. "I didn't even know they had them but I would probably use them though," said Senior Biology Major Levi Williams. The simple process starts with a Cougar - The new addiction • You make this week look good. Pay attention to all aspects of your potential, and by the weekend, you may get exactly what you wanted. Of course, that depends on how you handle Thursday and Friday: are you going to float on through or let the nay-sayers sink your rubber duckie? Leo Someone call the fire department because your love life is about to get sizzling hot. One wrong turn though and it's gone, baby, gone, so don't be too quick to blow off t he guy at the grocery store or the girl behind the Starbucks counter. Also, quit pissing off your coworkers. It's going to blow up in your face on Thursday. Gemini Your fluid nature gets a real test from a coworker on Thursday. Sometimes just letting your anger come out is the best way to handle a situation. Beware of a smooth-talker tomorrow, keep up the hard work, and your week will come out polished just the way you want it. Cancer Your attempts at channeling Rico Suave don't go exactly how you've planned, and on Wednesday, the Gemini you've been pining for slips through your fingers. Put away your Aqua Net and acid wash jeans and try being a real human being. Besides, now is the time to focus on the home front, before your proverbial French Virgo Love hurts. Not as much as friends talking smack, though. Because you can find 50 ways to leave your lover, but friends cling to you through the years. Try to mend some fences, and spend some time relaxing solo, and if that doesn't work, hire a South American assassin.

But the question being posed is: Which game deserves your Do not listen to the pessimists. Rock Band attention and money? is NOT a Guitar Hero rip-off. Harmonix, The defining factor that both games the co-creator of the Guitar Hero series, share: musical variety.

With Rock Band containing 58+ tracks out of the box and Guitar Hero sporting 71+ tracks, you would think that the latter would be the victor when it comes to variety. But with downloadable songs every week, both games have the potential to be on top when it comes to variety. With a character creation feature, Rock Band players have a chance to rock out with their very own personalized avatar that excels at one particular role in the band. Which means, that while Guitar Hero players are limited to wailing on the guitar, Rock Band players have the freedom to choose a responsibility within the band: guitar, bass, drums, and (my personal favorite) vocals. There is so much substance to both games that make them great. But if there had to be one, I'd recommend Rock Band to anyone that could afford its hefty price tag (about $170 compared to Guitar Hero's $90). With the variety and varying difficulties of each instrument, Rock Band offers a multitude of possibilities with every new song pack that becomes available. While I respect both series, I would easily recommend Rock Band to anyone with a pseudodream of super rock stardom. Hookmh Lounge P ool T a b l e s A Case Against American Idol BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer Despite being one of the most popular shows on television, I find "American Idol" to be flawed and self-righteous. At first, it may have been a good idea, but I grow tiresome of this program on FOX Network. For several reasons pertaining to the show itself and its negative influence on others shows as well as society, "American Idol" is a drain on the nation. First, the show is the same every year. Since its inception, copying the British show "Pop Idol," the program has consistently been the same. The formula is to get thousands of people in major cities across the nation and take a picture to give the illusion that FOX gives that many people the chance to compete. It would take months for all to sing in front ofthe infamous three judges, which means the show prescreens most contestants. The only ones who make it to the judges are the decent singers and of course, the bad. The show only gives the chance to these poor singers so that the rest of the nation can laugh at them, which is a pitiful way to boost one's ego. | Games G r e a t F ood O v e r 5 0 H o o k a h F lavor's As the show progresses, the judges 'cut the fat' as each week another singer is eliminated. The contestants face the wrath of the judges, who are stereotypical to a tee. There is the yuppie who never says anything bad, one who cannot stop saying 'dawg', and the last who is a miserable human being putting on the act that he is incapable of being pleasant. Finally, the judges say that each year the contestants are better despite the fact that only two relatively famous stars have come from the show, according to albums sold. "American Idol" is a repetitive process forced upon the nation each year to bring a new music 'sensation.' However, the show is responsible for more cultural problems in this country than musical talent. Singers on the show only survive if they put on proverbial blinders and sing only pop songs. This leads to people being uncreative and listening to only one type of music. In my opinion, rap and pop music are responsible for relaxed morals, including increases in promiscuity and drug use among young people. It is time for "American Idol" to take the blame for what is has done. M o n d a y N ight P ool T o u r n a m e n t D ally L unch a n d D inner S peclais H a p p y H our 4 : 0 0 - 6 : 0 0 P .

Beginning on Nov. 5,2007, the writers of television shows and motion pictures stopped working due to issues with DVD profits and credit for new media, which include Internet shows and 'on-demand' programs. The Eastern and Western Writers' Guilds laid terms for a new contract on February 10 and voted it in place two days later. According to the website for the Writers Guild of America, East, (WGAE) votes in favor of the new contract totaled an overwhelming 92.5%. The president of the WGAE, Michael Winship, said, "The commitment and solidarity of our members made it happen . .. our two unions stronger than ever." The members of the AMPTP, which include the Presidents and CEOs of entertainment studios, responded saying, "We hope now to focus our collective efforts on what this industry does best ... working together to deliver great content to our worldwide audiences." r Though the unions are pleased with the results, this strike did not come without its cost. One of the most prominent was the canceling of the Golden Globe ceremony. The shockwaves cost the city of Los Angeles $380 million, according to NPR, due to tourism loss as well as losses surrounding food and limo services and hotels. Also, studios may cut new shows that never got rolling, and the people who work undistinguished jobs behind the camera lost income. Both guilds and the AMPTP are looking to make the best of the situation and bringing entertainment back to the viewers. Leave the Sprinting to us.

This was without a doubt the most incredible performance this year. It is too bad the Academy did not nominate him for best male lead, because with his performance, his presence resonates even when he is off screen. Bardem has created a villain that can stand ground among the likes of Hannibal Lecter, Darth Vader, and Norman Bates. An honorable mention belongs to Gasey Affleck for his work in "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford," because he showed he has seri- ous acting skills, unlike his brother Ben. Best Male Actor Best Director Best Picture Best Female Actor "No Country for Old Men." What a surprise. There is not much more to say than this is a flawless film. To all who took part in the making of this movie: congratulations and thank you. Ellen Page for "Juno." This one is a call from my gut. Page gave a refreshing, yet smug, performance, and the Oscars have a tendency to favor young stars, such as in 1993 when Anna Paquin won best frnmt supporting female actor in "The 1 w m k Piano," and she was only 11-yearsold at the time. With all due respect, she may not have come out Daniel Day-Lewis for "There on top in a stronger field. Will Be Blood." Not to be misogynistic, but the performances by men were incredible this year.

They deserve this award due to their work with the story, the performances they got from the actors, and the making of another American cinema classic.

The tingle although meek in power, lingers in the mouth for several moments. Ultimately, an oak residue coats the tongue after the encounter.

Photo by Ben Roffee/The Pride "Bid day" at CSUSM welcomes prospective members to its Greek community The intersection of Craven Road and Twin Oaks Valley Road often accumulates congested traffic. The congested traffic creates chaos for Cougars and local residents. Recently, the San M arcos S heriffs Department notified CSUSM of the constant complaints they receive regarding the intersection. Due to the overwhelming complaints f rom city residents, the s heriffs department plans to focus more attention on the intersection. The s heriffs department aims to enforce all vehicle codes, but more specifically, they plan to focus on violations of Vehicle Code 22526, also known as the Anti-Gridlock Law. The viola- tion costs approximately $150. University police are currently focusing on other aspects of t raffic inside CSUSM. If the s heriffs department requests assistance in patrolling the intersection, then university police will o ffer its support in the matter as well. Drivers violate the code when "they are sitting in a busy intersection and it is his/her t urn t o go through but they cannot make it all the way through the light and it t urns red. They are blocking the intersection," said Lieutenant Douglas Miller of the University Police Department. "It is pretty basic. You block the intersection and you get a ticket j ust like anywhere else.

BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer Monthly Program Continues its Multicultural Educational Forums Thursday, Feb. 21 —' The Center for Border and Regional A ffairs hosted a screening of the f ilm, 'Maquilapolis: City of Factories' followed by a discussion with filmmaker, Sergio D e L a Torre and promotoras, Hispanic community outreach workers, f rom Tijuana featured in the film. There are currently about 4,000 maquiladoras across the Mexican border. Eighty percent of the labor force in maquiladoras (factories) are women. Women are o ften preferred over men because they are "cheap, docile and have agile hands." The average maquiladora worker receives $11 p er day. "We are simply objects of labor," said a f actory worker in the film. To create the film, filmmakers collaborated with f actory workers in Tijuana, community organizations in Mexico and the United States to illustrate globalization through the eyes of the women at the center of t he industry. The film f ocuses on the devastating impacts of globalization on its f actory workers and the environment. Filmmakers provided the women with cameras and taught them how to shoot. For five years t he women documented their daily lives. The film concentrated on the abandoned f actories and toxic waste products dumped throughout the com- munity. " Tijuana is nobody's trashcan," exclaimed one f rustrated worker in the film. Although 'Maquilopolis' stresses the f act that globalization provides corporate f reedom to move around the world in pursuit of cheap labor and lenient environmental regulations, it also shows that workers can organize ways t o demand appropriate law enforcement successfully. In t he film, many of the women were fighting back against the companies they worked for. Carmen D uran and her coworkers filed suit against Sanyo Electric Company for their entitled severance pay when the company abandoned their f actory in Tijuana and moved to Indonesia. At t he end of t he film, their case settled and they received severance pays ranging f rom $1000-$2000. A fter the screening, CSUSM faculty member, Dr. Ranjeeta Basu, introduced De La Torre and three promotoras to a round of applause f rom the lecture hall. The featured guests were met with a multitude of questions stemming f rom the film. J )irec|or : Sergio De La Torre served a s translator for the promotoras.

The T hinking Outside the [lunch]Box series is a monthly forum facilitated by Cal State instructors and/or guests to have an open and safe discussion about that session's particular topic. This month's topic is: "Are you passing?" "Passing is a sociological concept which refers to members of a racial group being accepted by others of a different race," explains Jay Franklin, Coordinator of Multicultural Programs. Facilitating this event is Dr. Elise as well as Dr. Wilson of Cal State San Marcos, in conjunction with Lori Walkington, a graduate student of CSUSM. With a diverse group of educated and insightful facilitators with a willingness to learn, this event is sure to attract the attention of many students eager t o get involved, let their voices be heard, and make connections. "Statistics say that students who form relationships outside of classrooms are more likely t o graduate and continue on to grad. school and these venues provide opportunities to make connections and social support groups outside of the classroom," states Franklin. The forum coordinators are looking forward to engaging students and answering any questions or ideas that they may have. "It would be a good place to meet people that have different opinions about 'passing'. It's an avenue to discuss relevant contemporary issues and eat f ree food," said Kevin Chatham, a student Peer Educator at the Cross Cultural Center. Multicultural Programs encourages any student enticed by the promise of f ree food and the opportunity to discuss contemporary issues to attend the monthly event. �THE c i p r i d e • lllÉi ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ I ARTS ,:* & ^ £ DITÜR * TORIA $i*QRT$ From TRAFFIC, page 1 headed down one lane.

He identifies 7:45 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., Monday through Thursday; 9:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., on Monday and Wednesday; and 10:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., on Tuesday and Thursday as peak traffic times. Miller f urther suggests that by increasing awareness of these times Cougars can arrive at alternate times to reduce the problems associated with peak traffic congestion. "Nobody parks in X, Y, or Z lot. Very few students park in upper or lower B lot. If people managed when they came onto campus and parked on B, X, Y, and Z lots then they would reduce a lot of traffic. They pass open spaces. If we can get people to show up on non-peak times and park in other spaces, it would greatly reduce t raffic," said Miller.

One BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer We have all seen it, but have only spared a glance in its direction as we just continue on our merry way to Cougar Central or the University Store. It is that one lone room on the third floor of Craven Hall right across the hall from the plethora of murals. It is room 3400-A—better known as the Cross Cultural Center—a place that is warm and open to anyone looking for a multicultural and sociable experience. Jay Franklin, Coordinator of Multicultural Programs, describes it as, "A physical space to relax, with access to computers, printers, and a multicultural library to help them academically. It is also an area where you can critically discuss issues of multiculturalism and diversity." The Cross Cultural Center is an accepting environment with a multitude of different students who go there to relax, do homework, or simply take a break fj-om class to be with friends. Furthermore, with a courteous staff of Student Peer Educators whom have an extensive knowledge of the environment and a host of diversity programs, there is much to learn from them as well as C3's visitors. "I love being a part of the growing diversity on campus and giving other people the opportunity to interact with other cultures," says Auriel Dice, a Student Peer Educator in the C3. The academic and personal growth aspects of C3 are valuable to one's growth as a person, and what better way is there to learn, than to learn while having fun? With the combination of a set of large, red, and very comfortable couches as well as a giant 42" plasma ^screen, it is paradise for any student who wishes to relax while watching the news or Discovery Channel. Along with the connections that the visitors and staff of the C3's bring, the center is also conveniently connected with the Student Life & Leadership office (SLL), home to Orientation Team, Greek life, and 80+ other student organizations. "So many different people come in and just hang," says Kevin Chatham, Student Peer Educator of C3, "It's a friendly place with a lot of laughs and smiles." With its warm atmosphere, welcoming environment, and room to relax, learn, and grow, the Cross Cultural Center is a room on campus that should be visited regularly. In addition, having made a multitude of lifelong friendships in that office myself, it'd be hard to not find me in C3 regularly. .of the most similar 'cheap' alternatives is the COBY MP-C582 Clip MP3 Player. The MP-C582 is a 1GB player with all of the rudimentary functions of the iPod Shuffle, though marginally less attractive. The COBY player retails for as low as $25, but has received sub-par reviews relating to the aesthetics and dependability. One of thé more popular alternatives is the Creative Zen V. The Zen V 1GB player sports a $59.99 price tag and boasts a 1.5-inch color screen. The price tag along with fact that the device has a screen makes it one of the more desirable choices among the vast sea of lowcapacity MP3 players.

Melanie Niedens would say that energy drinks "play a huge role on campus". At any point during the day, a student is able to quickly make up for those few hours of sleep they missed by popping open a Monster. But does a highly caffeinated, artificiallyflavoredbeverage really fill the void? Its hard to tell at this point, since the long term effects of the energy drink craze has not yet been fully observed. It is important though, to understand the healthy alternatives that are made available to students on campus at CSUSM. When asked about a healthy alternative, Nie- dens (Cougar Store manager) suggested "Yerba Mate" which is an organic, naturally caffeinated tea reminiscent of a green tea flavor. Yerba Mate has just recently been made available for purchase in the Cougar Corner. Another alternative to gain just a bit of energy and or focus is Vitamin Water. Also according to Niedens, "Vitamin water is our number one seller". This reassuring fact proves that most students are still choosing the healthy alternative to give them that extra pick up.

His worn blue eyes, grey hair and grizzled voice emitted a sense of familiarity that could send you back in time f ifty years ago. In those days, families would load up their vans with tents and surfboards and take a weekend drive to relax and enjoy unscathed vistas of the 3.5 miles of cool ocean breeze and sandy shores. It's one of the benefits living there in this area - being able to enjoy a great number of outdoor activities like running and hiking trails or simply watching surfers and wildlife as they crash up and down waves. As he continued speaking, he would go on to mention how much of a blessing the land is as well as the entire state park system of California, like this one in San Onofre. It would be a shame that if many years from now, asphalt highways obliterated the natural settings only to save commuters countless hours stuck in traffic each year. Though softly spoken, his words resonated with the importance of maintaining this natural reserve and how simply laying pavement over them cannot solve problems. Some things are better left in nature's hands and simply be left untouched by the hordes of politicians and developers. The name of this man, for those curious, was Clint East- wood. As the epitome of the California surf culture, beachgoers and surfers always speak with high regard about the pristine qualities of San Onofre State Beach ~ particularly the area known as Trestles Beach. It houses numerous breaks that range from beginner sets, to some of the finer breaks here on the west coast. These wetlands that are situated right on the Oceanside and San Clemente border maintains an environmentally-friendly surrounding, untouched by land developers, and one of the few of its kind that exists along the California coastline. Even though this state paik is the fifth-most visited amongst the 278 state parks in California—frequented by surfers and swimmers alike for its famous surf spots—it doesn't just cater to them. People come in their campers and trailers looking to admire a beautiful sunset along a spot on the beach. Trestles Beach is also a natural reserve that serves as home to numerous flora and fauna. Inaccessible by vehicles, thrill seekers usually park their cars off the side of a road and trek through a long, winding trail from either the upper or the lower ends of the state park to find this hidden gem of a surf spot. For local Marines stationed in nearby Camp Pendleton, the area serves as a getaway from their dayto-day functions throughout the week, providing a little rest and relaxation. For them, Trestles is an introduction t o the Pacific surf culture, and for some, it's the first beach they've ever seen. Perhaps it is for this reason alone that makes Trestles widely adored within the surfing community; earning its name as the Yosemite of Surfing. Annually, the area is host to world-class competitions hosted by the Association of Surfing Professionals, such as last year's Boost Mobile Pro, and events by the National Scholastic Surfing Association. Yet, for all of its prestige, Trestles has seen its share of lingering and potential issues that threaten its serene shores. The last several years have had locals galvanizing a debate over the latest issue that involves expanding a proposed toll road (an extension to State Route 241). The extension would connect Orange County and San Diego with the construction ofa six-lane highway, and it is estimated to cost somewhere around $875 million dollars to fund and help alleviate some of the traffic nightmares on Interstate 5. The main goal is to cut down gridlock for commuters who cross the borders into San Diego County daily In January, Gov. Schwarzenegger and a handful of other officials threw their support behind the proposed project and generated even more intense interest over the possible solutions, if any. A 16-mile expansion would cut right through the state park and end right before hitting Trestles. Environmentalists and activists groups SPRINTER March 9,2008 argued that a highway of such magnitude would endanger wildlife and eliminate miles ofhiking and biking trails, reduce campground areas and increase the amount of polluted runoff into the park's watershed, not to mention the loss of a world-class surf spot. This is the first proposed project of its kind to have a highway run through any state park. Anytime commuters hear of a proposed solution to end gridlock, they generally jump on the opportunity to listen. Today, roughly 125,000 vehicles pass through the area each day. According to a study done by the Transportation Corridor Agencies based out of Irvine, an estimated trip down the Interstate 5 corridor could take almost an hour to get through by the year 2025. Earlier this month in Del Mar, the California Coastal Commission (CCC) held a hearing and listened to the implications and concerns of the expansion's opponents. The crowd of more than 3,000 supporters provided testimonies and after 12 hours of deliberation, the CCC voted 8-2 against any proposed highway through San Onofre State Park thunderous cheers of approval followed the decision. The majority of the supportersrepresentedthe "Save Trestles" campaign, which for years battled against such an expansion. The Commission concluded that aspects of the project simply failed to meet with California coastal regulations, and is simply inconceivable. Mainly, the reason for this ruling by the panel was due to inconsistencies the project had with the law, raising concerns for both the region and social responsibility. Peter Douglas, the executive director of the CCC, said, "This toll road raises fundamental questions about what kind of environmental and social future we want for our coastal communities, our families, our children and theirs." Though the locals won this battle, the war is still farfromover-Orange county lobbyists have not conceded defeat over this loss. The proponents of the state route expansion intend to appeal to the U.S. Secretary of Commerce to overrule the Commission's ruling. According to Thomas Margro, the Foothill/Eastern Corridor Transportation Chief Executive Officer, "This project is the best option for relieving traffic congestion with the least amount of impact on communities and the environment." Still, the debate remains strong whether a highway through a state beach like the one threatening Trestles Beach is the best solution. Opponents to the highway expansion suggested studies that involve expanding Interstate 5 using innovative designs that would accommodate traffic. Through the debate though, one thing remains clear: Trestles Beach is a California icon. If you've only been fortunate enough to drive through the area, you 'are missing out on something truly breathtakingr ../ kmtmmm 6 A U T S H O O M N 6M» R D A E C O L F A AE E LEARN ABOUT EARNING YOUR M BA AT T HE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, RIVERSIDE A .

Pride Investigates: Top 5 dirtiest places on campus BY AMY SALISBURY Pride Staff Writer According to the Center for Disease Control, the 2007-2008 Flu Season is one of the worst on record. Some U.S. health officials believe the severity is due to an ineffectivefluVaccine while others say the influenza strain's increasing antiviral resistance is to blame. Either way, bacteria and viruses are virtually inescapable. Avoidance combined with prevention seems to be the best way to steer clear of infection. But what to evade? The following list draws from numerous medical studies and professional opinions to try to shed light on what are most likely the grimiest places on our campus. 1. Drinking Fountains More like a rather large Petri dish. Robert Donofrio, PhD, director of microbiology for NSF International, found as many as 2.7 million bacteria on any given square inch of a public water spigot (compared to a measly 49 on a public toilet seat) through an independent study conducted in 2005. The reason for the incredible amount of bacteria is because the faucet is always wet, creating one marvelous environment for E. coli, staphylococcus, and a whole host of other tummy-turning microorganisms. If you must, run the water for about 15 seconds before taking a sip as a way of clearing a portion of the existing bacteria. 2. Classrooms That'sright.Those things you're stuck in all day. University of Arizona researchers found that classroom desks have 20 times the amount of bacteria as you would find on an ordinary workplace desk; 7 times that of a doctor's office. "Desks are really bacteria cafeterias," says Charles Gerba, microbiologist. A classroom desk has the capacity to support 10 million microorganisms at any given time. What's more, the desk you're at can keep a cold orflubug viable for 72 hours, long enough to transfer them to several people. Antibacterial wipes can offer much appreciated peace of mind; they do kill 99% of surface germs. 3. Restroom Doors Think about it. Every single person going in or out of the bathroom has to touch the same place. As said by the American Society of Microbiologists, approximately 68% of people actually wash their hands before leaving the restroom. So, that means that nearly one third of people have the ability to transfer the urine and fecal matter from several people to the restroom door, giving everyone the opportunity to share in the excitement. Lovely. Rule of thumb: say your ABCs while you wash your hands as a good 20 seconds will cleanse thoroughly. 4. Stair Handrails It's no secret that CSUSM has Considering a Career In Physical Therapy?

UNIVERSITY OF ST: A UGUSTINE RSYP by visiting our website www,usa,edu/fle% or catling Mary Noor at 1-866-557-3731 a rather hefty number of stairs on campus, which provides an unusually high prospect for germs to be exposed to a number of students. Microbes open to the elements are able to survive for about two hours on the metal, non-porous painted stair rails. As frightening as it is, researchers have found everything from streptococcus, staphylococcus, salmonella and shigella (the culprits behind dysentery), and even blood harboring hepatitis A. When it comes to a surface as common as stair railing, all I can say is this: just don't touch. 5. Vending Machines Essentially, outdoor things with buttons on them are ghastly. If you buy your parking permits by the day, that keypad you touch can have 3,295 bacteria per square inch. Maybe you've decided to bypass the drinking fountain for bottled water. A vast improvement, yes, but the array of germs on the outside of the machine could trans- fer from the button, to your hand, to the bottle top, right on into your mouth. Not only that, but paper money is one of the dirtiest things you can handle. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers come in quite handy in these situations, but be careful as overuse can cause your immune system to weaken. As simple as it may seem, proper hand washing technique is truly your best defense against infection. If the faucet isn't automatic, use a paper towel to turn it on. The soap you use doesn't need to be antibacterial, but you must lather well, being sure not to ignore your wrists or forget about your fingernails. After about 20 seconds rinse thoroughly, and choose a paper towel over an air dryer, as it can blow bacteria all over your freshly washed hands. Don't rely on the alcohol-based hand sanitizers either; there's no substitute for soap and water. �gramming language.

SUNDAY Men's Golf % Point Loma Invitational �UFC 82: Silva vs Henderson Two of mixed martial arts elite middleweights square off for title BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer The best fight of 2008 could come as early as March 2 as Anderson "The Spider5' Silva and Dan "Hollywood" Henderson face off for the UFC middleweight title at UFC 82: Pride of a Champion. Silva, who sits atop the summit of the world's best pound-for-pound fighters, seeks to defend his belt from Henderson, who holds the equivalent welterweight belt from the now defunct Pride promotion (Pride welterweight and UFC middleweight are equivalent divisions). "The Spider" entered the UFC in 2006 and has dominated the middleweight division with his devastating stand up game. A product of the famed Brazilian "Chute Box" team, Silva is an expert in Muay Thai and also received his black belt in Brazilian Jui-Jitsu from Pride legend, Antonio "Minotauro" Noguiera. On Oct. 14,2006, Silva defeated Rich Franklin at UFC 64 for the middleweight belt, knocking out the champion halfway into the first round. Since then, Silva has reined mercilessly over the division, successfully defending his title against Travis Lutter, Nathan Marquadt, and Rich Franklin in his most recent fight, a rematch. Prior to his current UFC reign, Silva held the Cage Rage middle- weight title from 2004 to 2006. If there is only one middleweight contender in the world that can beat Anderson Silva, it is Dan Henderson. An Olympic caliber Greco-Roman wrestler, Henderson has consistently proven himself to be a top-tier fighter in both the 185 lb. and 205 lb. divisions. From 2000 to 2007, Henderson fought against countless elite fighters in Pride, where he eventually won and simultaneously held the welterweight (185 lb.) and middleweight (205 lb.) titles. Most recently, Henderson lost a hard fought, five round battle for the UFC light heavyweight title against Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. Prior to that fight, Henderson knocked out Wanderlei "The Axe Murderer" Silva, one of the most ruthless fighters in the history of MM A. The Fight: Silva can expect a f ull five round war and should pace himself accordingly. Although one of Silva's greatest strengths is his Muay Thai clinch, he should really avoid allowing Henderson to close the distance. The best place for Silva to win this fight will be standing up, delivering strikes from the outside and slowly working Henderson down. As precise a striker as Silva may be, Henderson's Photo by Ben Roffee / The Pride granite chin will make it difficult for Silva to knock him out. Silva needs to capitalize on any mistakes and put together combinations if he expects to knock out Henderson. Although Henderson has never shied^ away from the stand-up game, he needs to keep in mind that Silva is one of the deadliest strikers in the business. Should he stand with Silva, Henderson should keep him in close prox- imity, where Silva's kicks, knees, and jabs are much less effective. Henderson will also find it much easier to deliver his devastating hooks when Silva is trying to separate. Henderson's GrecoRoman clinch will be his greatest source of control in the fight and his greatest defense against Silva's powerful knee strikes. Taking the fight to the ground where Silva is not as effective in dealing damage should be a key part of Henderson's strategy. Silva has not had to defend his title into the late fourth and fifth rounds, which is where Henderson should look to finish the fight. Prediction; Dan Henderson wins the middleweight title by way of knockout late in the fourth round.

But this week I want to talk about two great players who found a way to cheat the system and maybe the legal system. Both Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds have put up unbelievable numbers over the years in the pros, but those numbers appeared to be tampered. Bonds, the single season and career homerun leader in Major League Baseball, may have found a way to cheat the legal system like he has cheated baseball all these years. Bonds' legal team has found typos in the filing by prosecutors. Now Bonds may have found his scapegoat in perjury . and obstruction of justice charges. A typo in notes stating that Bonds failed a drug test in 2001 was the mistake, when the player called "Barry B." failed a drug test in 2000 in the BALCO reports. Here is my issue. Bonds you cheated, you got caught, now face the wrath. I understand that you deserve a fair trial and that you College Lif© BY TOM COCKING Pride Staff Writer Every high school student dreams of graduating senior year and heading off to a new life in college, f ull of partying, meeting new people, getting a higher education, and of course no parents. Some schools have the reputation of being party schools; others have the reputation of being strictly education only. To be honest I didn't hear much about Cal State San Marcos other than that it was really new and I could get a good education. I moved down here from South Lake Tahoe, which is a real small town, especially compared to Southern California; so needless to say, it was a bit of a culture shock. My sister went to SDSU and it definitely had a great social atmosphere. When I moved here, I didn't get the same feeling; the city of San Marcos was no college town, to say the least. The longer I live here the more I notice that San Marcos is having trouble accepting that it is becoming a college town. I had heard that when San Marcos was first developing, it was a retirement community and now the older population is slowly being replaced by much younger families and college students. With all the rules and laws it looks like the transition from retirement community to college town is going to be a rough one. It seems as though the City of San Marcos is trying its best to make sure this town isn't "overrun" by college students, which is start- ing to really get to me. Anyone who lives in San Marcos or goes to this school knows that every year it is growing and bringing youth with it. Many like me whose home is too far to obviously live there and still attend CSUSM. So then arises the question: where do we live? There are the dorms which can only house so many, but other than that college students have to live off campus in residential areas f ull of families, which is you ask me is terrifying to any adult. So we move into houses and apartments and within the month—especially where my roommates and I live—there are already complaints. We party too much, we're up too late, there are too many cars parked outside, we're too loud, it goes on an on. The question is how do we solve this problem? I don't enjoy annoying the neighbors or making them mad, no one should, but we have no options but to live where we can, which happens to be next to families and older people. With many of the housing restrictions, it is hard to find places where you and a few roommates can live without bothering any neighbors. I feel that many adults see college students a's a problem, and yes, socially we can be at times, but we bring change. Whether it is a good change is hard to say right now, but this city will never know unless they give it a Chance. All I ask is that we are accepted with open arms and that this city can find a way to balance both its old ways and its new. A T ale Of TWO T ales want to be charged for a lesser Crime. But you lied under oath about taking steroids and you deserve to be punished for that. Face the facts, your defense might of caught a break in arguing for a fair trial, but it's to give up. You fought the law and the law is about to win. And stars and athletes can tell you about this decade; it is not paying to break the law. As for Clemens, give up the act. At first I didn't want to voice an opinion against you. But there is evidence and testimony that state that you were lying under oath and you deserve to go under to be in the same seat as Bonds. But now there is a photo of Clemens at the Jose Canseco party in 1998 that he wasn't at according to his testimony. Not just that, there is also testimony by his former friend and trainer Brian McNamee that Clemens approached him shortly afterwards about using steroids. Just looking at the 2000 season of Clemens should be evidence enough that he was using steroids. Early in the season he hit Mike Piazza in the head with a fastball. Then he knocked down Alex Rodriguez and argued about it afterwards. Then in the World Series, Piazza breaks his bat and Clemens throws it in Piazzas general direction clearing the benches as Piazza and Clemens exchanged finger pointing and words. All I am getting at is a clear history of a lack of anger management which is one of many side effects to using the juice. Clemens used it at some point in his life, if not for most of his later career. Now it is^pnly a matter of time before we have a new perjury and obstruction ofjustice case against Clemens. This makes Bonds and Clemens on the same boat of trying to cheat the system, being caught and more than likely failing to get into Cooperstown.

In the field of actors, I was only halfright. I did not expect Marion Cotillard and Tilda Swinton to win Best Actress for Lead and Supporting Roles, respectively. However, I was right to presume who would win for the men, though it was no contest this year. Daniel Day-Lewis is blistering as a lunatic in 'There Will Be Blood' and rightly takes his second Best Lead Actor. In addition, Javier Bardem's performance in 'No Country' is the best this year. He became the first Spaniard to win an Oscar for acting as he earned Best Supporting Actor. Though the Academy robbed 'Ratatouille' of a Best Picture nomination, the Disney/Pixar movie easily won for Best Animated Film. However, it really did not matter. 'No Country' was the guaranteed winner for Best Picture, and did just that. This, the finest work of Joel and Ethan Coen, also won them the Oscar for Best Director. Though there was little surprise in the ceremony, it was f un to watch. It was also great reminder of movies I still need to see. I hope that those who won or just received nominations continue to bring quality entertainment. Saturday night with Levi Levi goes 'Across the Universe1 BY LEVI MARTINEZ Pride Staff Writer Do you ever find yourself scanning the video aisles searching for a movie to satisfy your needs; well, the wait is over. In this column you will find my weekly recommendations on demand, satisfying your every movie desire and much more. "Across the Universe" is a movie that takes the era-defining music of The Beatles and portrays a story of love, passion, and chaos in the form of a musical. Now rather than describe the film chapter by chapter, I will go as far as to say that this film brings classic music to a new age, allowing both admirers from the past to indulge and sing-along while captivating new ones from the present. The main character, Jude, a young adult from Liverpool, travels "across the universe" in search of answers, running into situations and people that change him dramatically. The film utilizes music to define an era of war and radical change in society, but most importantly, it helps illustrate the importance of love and cherishing those special bonds of friendship. The film covers the life of a soldier, musician, artist and revolutionary. The music of The Beatles changed the face of the earth. By creating such a drastic change in people and society, The Beatles did what other bands had never done before. Hopefully this film entices you adequately enough to rent it. It's a must watch and more importantly, you don't want to feel left out at dinner conversations. Improving 'Oscar' nificance that viewers may not understand.

Thus, I have a few suggestions nations should not be ignored. Finally, F think there should be a failsafe to make the awards better: First, separating men and women in most system for the Oscars to give out awards occupations is a criminal offence.

The brewery claims to be the #1 producer of premium alcoholic draft ciders in the U.S. They introduced the cider in 1997. The brewery holds multiple awards for its ciders. In addition, ABC Research Corporation in Gainesville, Florida, certified the brewery as gluten-free. The cardboard container holds six lucid green glass bottles. Lime green dominates the majority of the packaging while a forest green accents "edges. A cute little marmota, similar to a squirrel, sits on a rock stuffing his fuzzy cheeks with a granny smith apple on a green plain underneath a light blue sky. The bottles contain the same graphics. A shiny green bottle cap seals a cider with an alcohol by volume of 5%. The six pack retails for $8.99 at BevMo. The cider pours smooth with no head. A thin lace resides as carbonated bubbles rise to the top but are trapped. The cider radiates a golden texture similar to ginger ale. It enters smooth and finishes powerfully, like Brut champagne. The Granny Smith apple infused cider really bites in the end, similarly to eating an actual Granny Smith apple. The cider leaves a little apple flavor on the tongue after passing through to the abyss and beyond. The light and unique flavoring of the cider should pair well with a light lunch e.g. club sandwich and chips, or possibly a dessert e.g. vanilla ice cream. Perhaps a treat for your significant other, loving family member, or a break from ordinary beers, experience the fruitfulness of Woodchuck Cider. unusual to get an order without sauce", You just got out of your late afternoon and I tell her class.

XXIII N O. 3 place o n athletic fee increase to CSUSM BY JAMES ROCHE Pride Staff Writer Students are due to vote on the proposed athletics fee increase that could potentially decide the f uture of some sports at Cal State San Marcos. According to the Cal State San Marcos athletics website, the proposal would increase the current athletics f ee each semester for three years. A majority in the upcoming vote, which takes place between Feb. 16 and 25, would increase the fees by $20 a semester for three years, starting f rom the next academic year. Students currently pay $80 a year but this would increase $120 a year for the f irst year. T he fees would be $160 for the second year and the increases would stop at $200 for the year at the end of the third academic year. This would allow men's and women's basketball teams to b e set up as well as women's volleyball and dance/cheer. Introduction of these sports would also gain membership to the National Collegiate Athletic Association division two (NCAA). This university is currently in the National Associations of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). This independent association has no conference a ffiliation, making scheduling of matches and competitions d ifficult and o ffers no reimbursement for post-season play. Cal State San Marcos athletics director Tom Seitz feels it is important for the f uture of sports at this university to gain acceptance into the NCAA. Seitz said, "Where the athletics program is right now in the NAIA, there is no f uture there. We need to go to the NCAA. CSUSM is the largest and one of the only schools in the c ountry that does not have men and women's basketball. "The only way we can become a member is to add these sports. Without t his increase it may negatively a ffect the sports we have right now."

I was excited for this expansion from the traditional five, but there was speculation from online commenters that this would be a waste and the nomination would not carry the same merit. When the nominations were PRIDE STAFF W RITERS JAMES R OCHE SARAH G ADDIS KATRINA KLSTLER MALLANE DRESSEL Image courtesy of Voltage Pictures - i » ¿\ - X-, •. announced on Tuesday, I was ecstatic to see the picks. The Academy did a fine job picking the films this year. I think the usual five left out too many films that deserved praise. The ten picks this year are a cross section of some great films from several genres. First, I was most pleased with the nomination of Disney/Pixar's "Up." Despite the franchise's strong history of films, this is only the second animated film ever to be nominated for Best Picture. And it deserved it. It was one of my favorite films of the last decade and is an instant classic. Though I do not think it will upset "Avatar" or "The Hurt Locker," I was pleased the Academy broke the barrier for animated films. I was also happy about the diversity of the films, spanning from the highest grossing movie of all time, to some equally enjoyable independent films.

Thea Mckenzie, junior, is not as affected by the furloughs as others. "All my teachers just have not given out a lot of homework. They take many days off [and] I'm paying more for less education. I'm getting finanJ uan C amacho cial aid so it doesn't affect me to the point where I'm starving, but it's affecting my education because I'm not getting as much as what I should be." Psychology major Katie Bernard attributed her furlough luck to her status as a senior. "Since I'm a senior, the faculty furloughs haven't affected me ail that much, but one way they have is kind of motivated me to get out of here and try and graduate sooner instead of hanging around, knowing that you're paying more ¿id ^ P W you're not getting as much as what you're paying for." Juan Camacho said that he learns less in his Accounting classes due to faculty furloughs. "The furloughs and the budget cuts have really affected me, pretty much [financially] with the [fees] going up and classes being cut off. We learn less and they don't offer as much, not only during the regular semester but the same with summer and winter classes." Being an open university student is particularly difficult with furloughs, according to Communications major Brett Shiffler. "Since I'm taking open university, I've been trying to crash all my classes, so even if the classes are still open the teachers are more reluctant to take kids because of the furloughs and extra students. I don't know if that's what the union [has] been saying or if that's the deal, but it's just been hard to even crash any classes.

If the bright letters and jovial face& of those in these organizations d oipialready have you curious, maybf moils information will, or at least caul® you t o have more appreciation for these organizations. Greek life has a stereotype, mostly extracted from media influences, which the presidents of these organizations are greatly trying to overcome. The president of Alpha Chi Omega, Karissa Joiner, said, "Leave all judgments and previous ideas of these organizations at the door, because if you don't, you might be missing out on a wonderful experience," an experience that includes discovering and respecting yourself, others, and your school. CSUSM recognizes three sororities, Alpha Pi Sigma, Alpha Xi Delta, Alpha Chi Omega, and two f raternities, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Zeta Beta Tau. Alpha Pi Sigma is a Latino based sorority that strives to promote unity, and cultural awareness. One of Zeta Beta Tau's leading principles on their website is integrity, which they outline as "maintaining honesty, exhibiting loyalty, and retaining a sense of self discipline." According to Zac Fullmer, ZBT President, "within two short years, ZBT at Cal-State has grown from 14 guys in a dorm room to 43 strong men. Along that journey we have won; Best New Student Org, All Greek Academic Cup, Three time intramural Football Championships, and made thousands of quality relationships with campus students and faculty." Alpha Xi Delta is a sisterhood that lives by the motto "realize your potential." They want each sister to reach Photo by Ben Roffee their highest potential both as a student, and as a member of society. The sisters strive to achieve this goal by attaining accomplishments such as 3,500 hours of community service, and also by raising f unds to contribute to Autism Speaks. These fraternities and sororities pride themselves on dedicating time to philanthropic e fforts. Alpha Chi Omega raised $4,000 last year from their fundraiser, Mr. Alpha Chi, to contribute to Women's Resource Center in Oceanside. They currently work there with women and children who are victims of domestic violence, because they are a sisterhood devoted to establishing strong women within the community. They are looking for new members that will strengthen their presence on campus. The president, Joiner, believes this will "...create a better representation of our Greek life on campus for the city of San Marcos. That way, we can be more positively involved in our community." i Last year, Sigma Alpha Epsilon started the "Rebuild Louisiana" trip, which included 17 individuals. This year they want to broaden the scope of involvement by including Greeks from other, organization. This f raternity exudes tremendous school pride through their cheer group, "The Blue Crew," attending games, which encourages other students to support their student body. When asked about the advantages of being a member, President Travis Wilson said, "Brotherhood. When you have a group of guys, just working together to make each other better, right there, you j ust have success " Not only are these organizations altruistic towards their school, and community, but they also built life long bonds, and have f un along the way. A student can see the perks f rom getting a positive and valuable experience from school. The individuals in these fraternities, and sororities see these organizations as a vehicle to achieve such an experience, not only in school, but also throughout life. If this new information has intrigued you into exploring one of these organizations, seek more knowledge from their websites or from the upcoming Greek Fair on Feb. 11 during U-hour at the University Plaza. �Features T HE P R I D E Tuesday Feburary 09, 2010 5 It's o netbook!

To park or not to park? Situation has yet to improve BY KATRINA KISTLER Pride Staff Writer Originally, there were three main lots students used: Parking Lot C (ACD lot), Parking Lot E (MARK lot), and Parking Lot N (SCI lot). In Aug. 2008, lot N closed down in preparation for the construction of a new parking structure, which is due to finish in July 2010. With the closure of lot N, students then used the other two main parking lots. This created an immense amount of overcrowding and traffic surrounding lots C and E. Parking and traffic have now become a serious issue on campus that many students deal with on a daily basis. Numerous students drive to campus in order to attend classes at CSUSM, which makes parking a vital aspect to many students' educations. With the increasing student population, traffic around campus is a factor students must consider in order ASK to get to classes on time. Understanding where students drive from and where they park ultimately determines when students arrive. Each student has a method that guarantees a parking spot, getting to campus, and getting to classes on time. Learning and understanding these methods proves to be an important aspect to many students, but there are still many issues. "I live in Temecula and I have to leave my house an hour before I have class," said Justin Prewitt, a student here on campus. "Depending on the time of day, if I leave any earlier or later I can be late for classes. There is one main road students use to get into campus and it causes a lot of traffic. I usually park in the MARK parking lot towards the back, which affects what time I get to class as well." Another student, Billy Barron, said, "I live five minutes away from campus and I leave twenty minutes before my class, if I a concern that will not go away and may even become worse. Another student, Bryan Alt, expressed his opinion about parking on campus. "The traffic around here is ridiculous. Traffic on campus is a frustrating thing most of the time. I wish there was a better planned parking design for CSUSM."

The traffic around campus is so bad and the lack of parking is a big hassle." Both of these students have methods that allow them to get to classes on time, but leaving any later can make each student late for class.

This much-anticipated game featured The American Football Conference (AFC) champions, the Indianapolis Colts, and the National Football Conference (NFC) champions, the New Orleans Saints. The game started at 6:28 P.M. (ET) with the Saints receiving the ball f irst. The Saints started slowly with three plays and then a punt. The Colts struck first with a field goal by Matt Stover, the oldest player ever to play in a Super Bowl Championship game, making the score 3-0 Colts. Later in the f irst quarter, quarterback Peyton Man- ning connected with tight end Pierre Garçon for a 19-yard touchdown pass, which made the score 10-0 Co Its. In second Quarter, the Saints began to show some life as Garrett Hartley kicked a 46-yard field goal to make the score 10-3 Colts. Ending the second quarter, Hartley kicked a 47-yard field goal making the score 10-6 Colts. At the Sun Life Stadium "The Who" was main act with a spectacular light show and half-time performance. Some of the classic songs "The Who" performed were "Teenage Wasteland" and "Who are you?" After a much-needed break, the third quarter kicked off as a shock to all spectators. For the f irst time in Super Bowl history, the Saints kicked an on-side kick and recovered the football.

Soon after the Saints were in the lead, the Colts answered with Joseph Addai running in a 4-yard touchdown. The Saints ended the third quarter were a Garrett Hartley field goal 47-yards away making the score 17-16 Colts. The Saints dominated the fourth quarter. Jeremy Shockey caught a 2-yard touchdown pass from Drew Brees and the Saints opted to go for another play creating a 2-point conversion. Brees connected with Lance Moore completing the 2-point play making the score 24-17 Saints. The Saints ended the game strong with a Tracy Porter 74-yard interception return for a touchdown, making the f inal score 31-17 Saints. Brees had completed 32 out of 39 pass attempts for a total of 288-yards and 2 touchdown passes making him the Super Bowl MVP (Most Valuable Player). His 32 completions tied for the most in Super Bowl history. This marked the f irst Super Bowl win for the New Orleans Saints in f ranchise history.

The team c ame out f iring on all c ylinders, w inning game one 9 -0 and game two 6 -0. CSUSM improves to 4-1-1 on the s eason, w hile Patten drops to 1-5. Game one was dominated by Cougar s tarting pitcher Brett M iller. The t all righty, who shut down #2 Point Loma in h is CSUSM debut a fter t ransferring f rom San Diego State, went the distance. He t ossed seven e ffortless shutout i nnings, s urrendering j ust t hree h its w hile w alking none and s triking out t hree. M iller was e conomical with his pitches, relying on a d efense that rose t o the occasion by not committing an error. "I d idn't feel like I had my b est s tuff when I was w arming up, by a fter I got t hrough t he f irst couple i nnings I settled down and s tarted dealing," said Mrller f ollowing the game. And t he Cougar o ffense, a fter being shut out d uring F riday's loss, responded as well, s tarting with a fourrun f irst i nning. R icardo Moran and Kevin Silvett got t hings s tarted with one out singles, and a Josh Miller double down the l eft f ield l ine scored them b oth. J ohnny. Omahen followed that up with a nearly identi- cal RBI double of his own, and a fter stealing t hird, scored on a Steve H arris i nfield single. R BI's f rom Ryle Parks and Omar M anzanarez would mak$ it 6 -0 in the t hird, and a two out, t wo-run single by Mike Pena made it 8 -0 in t he f ourth. The C ougars' f inal r un came on a base hit by M iller in the f ifth. Not to be outdone, game two s tarter Travis McCracken kept the Patten o ffense scoreless. He lasted f ive i nnings, allowing j ust two h its and two w alks while s triking out f ive. Together, t he C ougars' top two s tarters have now t hrown 25.1 i nnings t his season without allowing a single r un. At the plate, CSUSM once again j umped out t o an early lead, t his t ime 2 -0 in t he f irst. M anzanarez led o ff with a double, and a t wo-run bomb f rom Josh M iller put t he C ougars in t he d river's seat. The C ougars would extend it to 5 -0 in the t hird, t hanks to an RBI double f rom O mahen, sac f ly f rom H arris, and RBI single f rom Mike Pena. The t eam's f inal r un came t he f ollowing i nning c ourtesy of an Omahen f ielder's choice. Relievers Eric J ulienne and Spencer Pardon f inished o ff the shutout, each t hrowing an easy, scoreless i nning.

After the idea caught on, it seemed like the same 10 to 12 songs kept appearing on mix tapes, especially ones tailored and intended for the most mix tape-worthy holiday of all, Valentine's Day. Now that iTunes makes mixing and burning CDs so easy, none of you guys have any excuse to hold out on making your girlfriends a mix CD. But all of these mix tape standbys have modern counterparts that need a little mix tape love too. Image courtesy of Lisa Hannigan Take for example Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes." I'm just as in love with Lloyd Dobler as any other chick this side of 1983, but this ditty is overplayed. An equally emotive update exists in "Eyes" by Rogue Wave. The idea is the same, but the sound is far more listenerfriendly. Everyone knows "Just Like Heaven" by The Cure. Don't let the rough, streets-of-London exterior that Unkle puts on put you off. "Heaven" is a mellower, slightly industrial track that could easily slide in among other mix tape classics. The 90s had some developing mix tape classics too, including "Kfcs Me" by Sixpence None the Richer. Ditchthe reminders of middle school, and replace them with Lisa Hahnigan's "Keep it All."

XVII NO. 1 CFA u p i n a rms Faculty Association holds informational picket for a fair contract from CSU chancellor BY KELLY CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer On Monday, in the library plaza, CSUSM professors took part in informational picketing as they made their first public step against CSU Chancellor Charles Reed and his administration. Armed with signs that read, "Stop the Ripoffs!" "Roll Back Student Fee Hikes!" "Teaching: an art, not just a job." "Fair Contract!" professors of all doctrines held a common goal: to have their voice heard and their actions acknowledged by the CSU administration, the legislator and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, for the sake of education on every level. As the president of the San Marcos chapter for the California Faculty Association, Dr. Janet Powell was among the 50 professors. According to Dr. Powell, professors in the CSU system are 18% behind in salary compared to professors out of state. In trying to keep up with California's cost of living without any recent significant raises in salary proposals, most professors across the CSU system have decided that they are no longer able to comply and instead, they are aiming to go on strike. "For the past 19 months, the CFA has been out of contract negotiations with the Chancellors Office," Dr. Powell said. "They refused to come back to the bargaining table." According to the CFA, in July 2005, the salary increase of CSU executives was 19.4%. The CSU faculty raise was 3.5%. Since 2002, the CSU administration and the board of trustees have raised student fees by 76%. The administration has plans to increase the fees by 10% through 2010. Additionally, there are 1,000 administrators in the CSU who earn over $100,000 each year. Most professors earn less money in a year than what adminSee CFA, page 3 m Faculty/Staff I IÉ)(MH Student Learning -Conditions California Faculty"-MU psoa Association ¿ é é é Photo by Kelly Corrigan CSUSM CFA members participated in an informational picketing sending a message to Chancellor Reed.

Yesterday, ZBT representatives visited CSUSM in hopes of encouraging young men to become the founding fathers of the CSUSM chapter as they immerse themselves in leadership roles and have some f un along the way. ZBT is the oldest and largest Jewish fraternity and it is significantly the only fraternity: CSUSM has invited to become a part of the school since the initial invitations a decade ago. The fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon and sororities Alpha Chi Omega and Alpha Xi Delta were the first to arrive at CSUSM. For over 50 years, ZBT has been a non-sectarian fraternity. Director of Chapter Affairs Laurence Bolotin says, "ZBT is proud of its history but it is not a religious organization."

I've really enjoyed my past experiences with The Pride and expect nothing less f rom this coming year. The Pride has certainly struggled throughout its existence here at CSUSM, but I believe that given our limited resources (at one point we had j ust six editors and five contributing writers!), The Pride has been successful in its e fforts to produce a paper that is continually progressing in its quality. Here at The Pride we strive to provide the people of this campus with the essential, as well as relevant information regarding this school, while at the same time serving as a voice of the students. Not to forget our e fforts to entertain, whether it's through our "Saved By The Bell" crossword puzzle or our horoscopes f rom Ms. Moondream. All in all we hope to put out a u seful student newspaper, with the ' student' aspect emphasized. Thi$ brings me, to my; plea f ^r the students here at CSUSM to join in our efforts here at The Pride. I would like this paper to continue to do what it does well, but also improve on the areas where it is lacking. For example, I believe the paper has done a great j ob expanding its coverage of our sports program over this past semester, but now I would like for us to cover more activities within the arts department. Changes like this will occur throughout the paper, and I believe we can all benefit from your input. As we hope to put out a paper that's informative, interesting and entertaining to our readers, your thoughts and opinions are really important. By knowing what you, the readers, are looking for in our paper, we can better provide. So how about it? Lend us your thoughts at pride@csusm.edu. Alright well good luck this semester and I hope to hear from you. Jason Encabo For the rest of you, we have a lot to look forward to this semester. Much has changed over the break. The campus has r eorganized itself utilizing the 3rd floor of Craven Hall for student services. Even the Pride relocated (CRA3500) and our new pad is really sweet, please feel f ree to come by to hang out and see what's going on. As for the Pride, Jason Encabo (our newly appointed Managing Editor) and myself are hoping to implement video stories through The Pride Online, we are even planning to showcase student work/films (again if interested: pride@csusm.edu). The Sports section really took off last semester, in large part due to Kyle Trembley's incredible coverage, and we can look forward to Baseball, Softball, Golf and Track and Field coverage this semester. We have integrated comics and crossword puzzles into each issue, which hopefully you have found to be enjoyable. Also, Amanda Andreen has stepped up to become The Pride's new Feature's Editor, expect some great features stories about student life in the coming issues. All together the staff at The Pride started off fresh last semester and they have all really started to find their voice. I, for one, can't wait to see where they take the paper this semester. As for you, thank you for reading and continue to write to us. This is truly your paper and if we aren't serving you the way you would like, let Us know how we can. For now, I leave you to enjoy the rest of this issue. Summer break is almost here, the Chargers are about to d raft some more players and I have some hops and barley to consume for Beer of the Week. Your Editor, David Gatley Campus police ready for UPROAR Image courtesy of campus police Campus Police p repare to unveil a c omprehensive r estraining order p rogram. BY KELLY CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer A s campus police strive to accomplish their mission in preserving and protecting the working and academic environment, they have created a new program titled University Police Restraining Order and Response or UPROAR. The additional service is intended for students, s taff and f aculty at CSUSM. In t he past, members of t he CSUSM community have filed r estraining orders against t heir ex-husbands, e x-girlfriends and ex-boyfriends. I n c ertain cases, those who were told to r emain outside of any f orm of communication or physical contact r efused to do so, t hreatening students, s taff or faculty. In c ertain cases, the t hreats have led t o t hreats of physical assaults. W hen followed properly, a r estraining order should not p ermit t he m ale or f emale t o c ommunicate w ith t hose w hom they d esire t o t hrough cell p hone, email or any i n-person c ontact. T he order should i mmediately h alt any f orms of verbal t hreats, h arassment or s talking. With UPROAR, campus police are extending their hand for anyone who has filed a restraining order or anyone who is looking t o file one, to share the order with the campus police where they will review it in discussion then keep the restraining order on file in the utmost confidentiality. I n the event that those who do not abide by the court order arrive on campus, the campus police could apply the knowledge of the physical description f rom the file when needed. Additionally, for all those who are looking to file a restraining order against someone, campus police would be able to assist them in filing the order, and point them toward the proper resources. Officer John Balos said, "As a means to b e proactive and help the community remain safe, we would like to work effectively in f orming relationships with the community to help eliminate possible crimes f rom occurring." �NEWS THE PRIDE From CFA, page 1 istrators in the CSU system have been earning in increases. The starting salary for professors at most campuses is about $46,000 when most increases total about $48,000. At campuses such as Humboldt and Domínguez Hills, Dr. Photo by Kelly Corrigan A Cut-out of Chancellor Reed was used to help bring attention to Monday's Informational Picketing in front of Kellogg Library.

She added, "The CSU is dying. It's hard to tell because our university is growing." Many look to the CSU system as one of the best _ leading examples of quality education available to students at an affordable price. For years, it has been. But recently, without an adequate salary given to the CSU faculty to live within California's standards, the future is grim according to Dr. Powell. As a last resort in their endeavors, faculty at all 23 campuses are taking action. Another motto of the CFA is, "Faculty working conditions are student learning conditions." Recently, they've adopted a new one. "I don't want to strike, but I ^ ill." As they circled Library Plaza, the professors chanted, "What do we want? Contracts! When do been involved. The non-pledging aspect of the fraternity was a radical move to make in 1990 as it still is today. The decision to make the fraternity a non-pledging one was done in order to eliminate hazing. The result was immediately successful. Since 1990, ZBT has received high praise and attention from vari- T he we want it? Now!" "What's it all about? Quality Education!" Never in the history of the CSU, have professors gone on strike. "At this point," Dr. Powell said, "We believe we have to stand up Tuesdayf January 23, 2007 ing how much money the CSU system has, how much money is being distributed, along with other related statistics. Once the fact finding process is finished, it becomes legal for professors to go on strike. i The faculty plans to take part in two day rolling strikes that will take place throughout the state of California. Once they go on strike, the faculty predicts that the Chancellor's office will impose a contract. There is a possibility that a professor on strike would have to cancel one of their classes when on strike. If desired, there is also a possibility that the ——— class could convene at a location off campus. Dr. Powell made it clear that for every faculty member participating in the strike, as much as they are determined to send a message to the Chancellor's Office, they are equally sympathetic towards their students in not letting the strikes interfere with their students' regular coursework and studies. Dr. Powell said, "We don't want to hurt our students. Our desire is to minimize the impact on [them]." Of all the f ull time tenure track professors who belong to the local chapter of CFA, 70% support the strike. At the end of February, the CFA will vote whether or not they will go on strike, although it is most likely that they will. The strike would take place in the front of the school, on Twin Oaks Boulevard, at the end of March or April. "Nobody wants this to happen, Dr. Powell said, but we don't have any choice. We're in a bad place. This spring will be a tough semester." An informational strike meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 6 at 11:45 in the Clarke Field House.

Some students go semesters or even years not knowing what t o do and struggling to figure it all out. Well, no more will students see the FASFA as a challenging process. FASFA becomes available during December of each year. This is when students can begin their process of filing for financial aid. The Cal State University system priority filing date is March 2nd of each year. This means the CSU system encourages all applicants to have sub- mitted their financial aid information before or close to that time; though that isn't necessarily the deadline, as CSUSM will still accept applications for the FASFA after the deadline. However, filing late makes the process of getting financial aid more drawn out. According to the CSUSM website (www.csusm. edu), "If you meet the March 2nd priority filing date, you improve the chances of receiving aid from all the programs for which you are eligible." Once a student applies for financial aid, CSUSM's Financial Aid & Scholarship Office will collaborate with the student and keep them updated on any papers or information they may need to complete the process. For example, "required documents may Website of the Week: BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer These days it seems that there are innumerable ways to get plugged into a cause, get connected, and stay involved in the community. Yet, the avenues of how to select which organization or which cause to donate your time to f rom the hundreds if not thousands of equally worthy causes can be daunting to say the least. As college students, the need to be connected and the drive to feel like each individual makes a difference in the world is j ust as important as each of the other many extracurricular activities students have at their disposal.

The new and improved office is on the third floor of Craven along with other helpful offices like Admissions & Recruitment, Cashiers, Enrollment Management Services, Financial Aid & Scholarship, Registration & Records, and Student Life & Leadership in the new Cougar Central. CSUSM's Financial Aid & Scholarship Office will help students through the entire process of applying for the FAFSA and financial aid so students can be _' nified lives."

I did a lot of partying, a little bit of writing and working, a lot of lying around, and a ton of thinking about my future. The biggest occurrence, however, was when I chopped off my beautiful locks of ham A lot of things happened over break that I was dying to comment on. I felt like the world was taunting me with all of the happenings over the past 5 weeks. Of course, there are other outlets that my name appears in, but no place gives me more freedom than this newspaper, which I am going to dearly miss in five months when I graduate. What made me happiest to see over break was Tony Gwynn being elected into the Hall of Fame. I grew up watching him play baseball, and have been lucky enough to meet him while on assignment. It's great seeing good guys get some recognition every once in a while. Along that same subject, I was very glad to see that "The Hulk", Mark McGwire, did not get in. What I was least shocked to see over break was the Chargers collapse in the playoffs. I predicted this exact occurrence in my article last semester about LaDainian Tomlinson. Speaking of that article, I was most shocked over break to see that someone in the media essentially stole my column idea a month after I wrote it. I take it as a compliment that people outside of this campus read this paper. I was most disgusted to be a United States American when I constantly saw the Rosie O'Donnell and Donald Trump "feud" in the headlines. I think I may be the only person left in this country who doesn't want to see a hippo and a hyena fight. I was most proud to be a United States American when I saw that our President's approval rating is at an all new low, because people in this country are finally seeing that things are pretty messed up around here. I was most proud of a fellow entertainer when Damon Wayans challenged the authority of the "Laugh Factory" in Hollywood. A fter the Michael Richards incident, the "Factory" banned the use of Juniors • Seniors • G r ad u a te S t u d e n t s A spiring to obtain doctorate the word that "Kramer" was lambasted for using. Some clubs, like the "Tempe Improv" have eve gone as far as to ban all cuss words. Wayans incurred a fine from the club and a several month ban. As much as I don't like derogatory names, I despise censorship that much more. Hopefully that last sentence made the final cut. In December, I was most sad when I heard the news that James Brown died. I was most scared just a few days later to see his face on a billboard saying that he is scheduled to perform "live" in San Diego in late January. I felt most victorious when I heard the news that University Hour is going to be decreased to only two days a week starting in fall 2007. Although I won't be here to see the spoils of my laborious opposition to the ridiculous concept of "nap time" for college students, I still feel a sense of accomplishment. I was most relieved when grades came out for last semester and I earned three A's, two B's and one C in my 19-unit semester from hell. This semester should be a lot more enjoyable since I am only taking 16 units and graduating in May. As usual, you can send me an e-mail to sando026@csusm.edu. As I have previously mentioned once or twice, this is my last semester of college and my last semester with the paper, so lets make sure it is just as controversial as all the other ones.

Set in the early 1960s, "Dreamgirls" opens with a dream shared by three young singers who call themselves the Dreamettes - Effie (Jennifer Hudson), Deena (Beyonce Knowles) and Lorrell (Anika Noni Rose) - and a host of other aspiring musical artists competing for grand prize at a New York talent competition. (&(£ TUesday, January 23, 2007 D ream Girl All other acts pale in comparison, however, to the Dreamettes, a fact not lost on silver-tongued car salesman Curtis Taylor, Jr. (Jamie Foxx) who has high-reaching aspirations of his own. Taylor soon persuades the trio to sing backup for the James Brown-esque James "Thunder" Early (Eddie Murphy), and the group embarks for the bigtime on a highway to fame - and heartbreak. Originally a Tony-award winning Broadway musical, "Dreamgirls" was adapted to the big screen with panache by director Bill Condon and an amazing cast. Beyonce Knowles stretches her golden voice and burgeoning acting muscles in the role of sweet, fresh-faced Deena Jones, coming of age in a cutthroat industry; Eddie Murphy delights as larger-than-life James "Thunder" Early, a smooth-talking singer oozing with soul and weakness for a pretty face; but the sumptuous costumes for the film. sensational songstress who stole Fans of fashion history will ooh the show, and the heart, of many and ahh over her decadent crean audience member is Jennifer ations which span the various Hudson.

In the role of Effie Melody White, Hudson engages the audience with her vivacity, charm, and vocal intensity in each and every one of her scenes.

Danny Archer Amidst the height of civil war and rebel uprising, "Blood Diamond" takes place in Sierra Leone, Africa during the late 1990s. "Blood Diamond" leads audiences through a chaotic and powerful story of two African men both searching for their own interpretation of liberation. Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio), a diamond smuggler searching for a way out of Africa, and Solomon Vandy (Dihmon Hounsou), a fisherman who loses everything as the country's lust for diamonds swells, both captivate and overwhelm the screen alike, and both look to the value of the diamond to save them. Playing the romantic object of Danny Archer, Jennifer Connelly portrays the know-it-all American journalist, Maddy Bowen, searching for the underground and undiscovered story of conflict diamonds. Though her portrayal is somewhat contrived, she aptly depicts a believable and compassionate journalist, and her presence is necessary to complete DiCaprio's portrayal of a rugged, African, and believable man's man. Without her, DiCaprio's performance wouldn't have been as sharp, and without DiCaprio, my experience of the film and its message would have been absolutely flat. The meat of the plot begins when Solomon Vandy's family is torn from him as "RUF" rebels (whom are mostly child soldiers) raid his village. In line to be disfigured by a machete, Vandy is spared by the commander of RUF and sent to work in the diamond Obtaining your P hD?

Enslaved to a muddy river sifting through sediments for diamonds, he stumbles upon a giant pink diamond. Realizing that hiding and burying the rock is the only he will be able to live and secure his family's survival, he hides the rock just as the diamond mine camp is bombed. Captured by the opposing military, he finds himself in prison, where Danny Archer is as well, after having been caught smuggling diamonds across the Sierra Leone border into Namibia. It is in the prison then that Vandy's secret is revealed as the commander too arrives at the prison, and knows that Vandy had found a pink stone. Overhearing this, Archer ensures Vandy's release and o ffers his help to find Vandy's family in hopes of being led to the pink diamond. As war erupts and destroys the city, the two are forced to band together if they are to survive. The issues director Edward Zwick and screenplay writer Charles Leavitt address and impose upon viewers are about the harsh realities of conflict diamonds and how much people in A frica s uffer f rom the retrieval of diamonds for export. Equally as important, the movie o ffers insight into the unfathomable life of a child soldier, and the life they create under the worst of conditions. The torrents of brutal killing, display of unimaginable survival tactics, and the actuality of the diamond business as well as the civil war in A frica were almost too much to take for the 2 hours and 23 minutes that contains the experience of "Blood Diamond." With no inhibitions about showing it like it is along with an unbelievable and flawless performance by DiCaprio—who definitely makes it clear that he's grown up since his "Titanic" days— "Blood Diamond" is a must see. �Tuesday, January 23, 2007 THE PRIDE Book Reviewi BY SARAH PULTZ Pride Staff Writer Movie Review Toöriteö m à M&^ffire: ^ ^ m W f N t a n t magica! best Several other fashion throöghoiii: stili � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Nothin' but Love for the ILOVEYOU Worm Attack: ...8 Though the infamous ILOVEYOU "worm" spread like the plague throughout computer systems around the world, shutting down government agencies, corporate networks, and even entire nations early Thursday morning, May 4, 2000, CSUSM contained the attack on campus computers by noon the same day. ILOVEYOU was the subject line on e-mails containing an attachment that opened what some reports mistakenly called a "virus". According to the Symantec Antivirus Research Center viruses and worms differ in how they spread. Symantec is the provider of Norton Anti Virus software. Worms are designed to propagate cyber violence throughout a network with little or no help from humans (i.e. grabbing addresses and mailing itself). Alternatively, a virus is designed to hide out and allow itself to be sent to a recipient where it can wreck havoc on a machine. The ILOVEYOU attachment contained a Visual Basic Script (.vbs file) that, once opened, would mail itself to everyone listed in the address book, then begin corrupting specific files number of projects I hope to pursue and through them, I intend to continue contributing to the campus and the communities we serve/ Thanks for the support and commitment you've shown over the past four years. Together, we've made a lot of progress. In a memorandum to the Cal State San Marcos Campus Community dated May 3,2000 and released following the Academic Senate meeting, CSUSM's President Dr. Alexander Gonzalez notes that "[o]n Monday, May 1, Dr. Richard Karas resigned his position as Vice President for Academic Affairs. I respect his decision as well as his request for reassignment to a faculty position in the College of Arts and Sciences. With the fall semester, Dr. Karas will become a Professor of Physics at Cal on the local machine. "It's impressive code.. Clean...

The worm created what an Information Technology Consultant in HelpDesk Support, Carlos Arciniega, called a "panic" among campus computer users. When David Medeiros, Operating Systems Analyst for the campus Computing and Telecommunications department opened his e-mail at about 7:15am to more than 50 expressions of affection, he realized he was either more popular than he ever imagined or that a cyber attack had been unleashed on the campus e-mail system. "I opened the first arjd saw that the file extension on the attachment was .vbs," Medeiros stated. Knowing that most attachments are more common file types like .txt, .doc, or .jpg, Medeiros went to look for the latest updates for the Virus Scan program that catches and cleans Infected files. Medeiros said that they employed a 3-tiered defense, "Stop it, contain it, and fix it." Medeiros said that CSUSM faired better than many other organizations in the face of the worm because Computing and Telecommunications were prepared to react to the threat quickly. "When something like this happens, it's a big team effort," Medeiros said in praise of his coworkers. Computing shut down the campus e-mail servers almost immediately to quarantine the worm and began the process of cleaning the attachments for the campus e-mail servers.

In the same memorandum Gonzalez states that he will shortly "make a decision about an interim appointment and [begin] the search to replace Dr. Karas." Dr. Karas' resignation comes on the heels of the resignation of the both the Dean of Arts and Sciences, Dr. Victor Rocha, who will be taking a position as a professor of Psychology in the fall, and the Dean of the College of Business Administration, Dr. Newton Margulies who resigned his position in the fall of 1998 citing personal reasons.

"Its all pretty straight forward, we are drilling to find the depth of the granite layer underneath the compacted e arth," stated Paul Dunster, Project Geologist of Geocon, who headed the p roject. Paul also states, "The granite layer will serve as a foundation for the new library." Due to previous blasting and grading, some of the granite was found in large fragments. The fragments are not capable of supporting heavy structures such as the library. Granite stability was the m ajor problem Geocon "drilled i nto" while determining the granite depth. "Sometimes i t's d ifficult to tell if the granite is s table," stated Dunster. Dunster said that he o ften had to get into "the cage" and was lowered down into holes to determine granite stability.

He also served as Chair of Sonoma State's physics and astronomy department, and as a manager in a computer company doing business in China.

The recognized club organization moves to a provisional status, and finally becomes an o fficially recognized chapter. Currently, there are two Greek social organization f raternities and two sororities on campus. The two Greek f raternities are Tau Kappa Epsilon and Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Sororities on campus include Alpha Chi Raving Ecstasy Sarah Smith PRIDE STAFF WRITER Instead of buying alcohol at clubs, it is now trendy to buy drugs at Raves. Raves are becoming increasingly popular f or people under 21 because all ages are allowed inside. A Rave usually consists of music and endless dancing. "Club drugs" are gaining popularity because they help people sustain their energy, which allows a person to dance f or longer hours, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). One of the most popular drugs is MDMA (Ecstasy), which has been illegal in the United States since 1985. CSUSM: A Message f rom Stu- he changed his mind. "Maybe.

One major problem of MDMA is that users may start having intense memories f rom the past that they are not able to deal with psychologically. MDMA takes anywhere f rom 30 minutes to two hours b efore it begins to work. When it does begin to work, the user reaches the peak e ffect in only a few minutes and the user may start to f eel out of control until the plateau. The e ffects of the drug last f rom three to six hours. Unfavorable side e ffects that may occur include, dehydration ( from dancing f or long hours and not drinking enough water), nausea, vomiting, j aw clenching, eye twitching, and dizziness. It is also possible for the user to have an altered state in their mood for up to two weeks a fter taking MDMA. MDMA is in such high demand at Rave parties that the MDMA may produce "strong supply w on't last through the feelings of c omfort, empathy, evening, leaving sellers to pedand connection to o thers," dling Ecstasy pills that do not have the contents of MDMA. According to The Vaults of Erowid "the functional d efinition of Ecstasy is a pill represented as MDMA on the s treet." This leaves the user not knowing what exactly is in the pill they are buying. Way- Off Broadway at Cal State San Marcos MDMA pills can look very d ifferent because it is an " art" putting d ifferent engravings on the tablet. For example there may be a sun engraved on the top or a smiley face. The pills also range in color. Mike Spangler PRIDE STAFF WRITER According to N BC's Dateline, MDMA is the most popular drug at Raves. However, there are several other drugs that are being used increasingly in the club scene. Examples include GHB, Rohypnol, Ketamine, and LSD. All of these drugs are even more dangerous when combined with alcohol use. Raves are usually held on the weekends in San Diego County and most commonly will feature " techno" music with plenty of dancing. Students of Professor Loni B erry's Theatre Arts class (TA 300) will perform in a play of their own creation. Tentatively titled "Decisions, D ecisions,"the theatre experience will take place in the CSUSM Visual and Performing Arts Annex on Tuesday, May 16, 2000. The crew and 11-member cast are made up entirely of CSUSM students* many of whom have never b efore been involved with a theatre production. Some actors a re nervously calling the production " Off-off Broadway... Way-off Broadway." " It's not about the production, "said Professor Berry, " it's about the m aterial." The play f ollows San Diego television reporter, Mike Anderson as he p ieces together the events s urrounding a fictitious Proposition 33, a proposition that bans same-sex marriages in C alifornia. Mike uncovers startling evidence on election night about the p roposition's author, a never-seen Senator Bob Daye. Students researched topics relevant to C alifornia society, and then write and produce a play based on the research results. The p erformances are the culmination of the semesterlong assignment f or the class. The general public is invited, but the production does entail adult language and content. Admission is f ree and seating will be on a first-come, first-served b asis. Those wishing to attend should plan to arrive at the VPAA on La Moree Road at 7 :30pm. �Heading East: Asian Pacific American History Melanie Addington PRIDE STAFF WRITER " Heading E ast," t he t raveling e xhibit t hat w as o n d isplay i n t he C SUSM L ibrary, g raced t he c ampus c ommunity w ith i mages a nd h istory of A sian-Americans.

BE ALL YOU CAN B E www.goarmy.com �Dear Editors, better yet, Dear Students who voted NO on the Health Services Referendum: (Fallbrook, CA). Dear Editors: I wanted to thank all the students who attended the child development workshops. Your registration benefited the ASI Early Learning Center. For those who do not know about the child development workshops, let me fill you in. Every month this semester, speakers from t}ie San Diego County Family Child Care Association have been giving workshops on child issues and education. The I would like to think that your Student Health Services is important to you and is taking sessions included: care of your needs. Dr. Nicholson did say, regarding the compromising of staffing because "Storytelling" by Cheron Yusko - co-sponof the NO vote, they "will not be able to accommodate students..." and it will be "...difficult sored by John C. Paget, CPA (Fallbrook, CA). to provide for twice as many students." Is this the kind of health care you wantfromYOUR Student Health Services? Just take a good look at the health care system in this country! (I Yusko gave a wide range of ideas on how to would love to see it on the ballot; vote no on HMO's and go back to the old way—I'd never tell stories to children of all ages. leave the voting booth). "Stress ant the Young Child" by Bobby Kilbourne - co-sponsored by Fallbrook PharThe Student Health Services has had a positive impact on this campus in taking care of the student's health care needs. It has been a one-on-one healthcare practice, including the macy. Kilbourne reminded us that so many pharmacy department, which is extremely important to any individual.

Surely there are others out With the workshops, refreshments and there who feel as I do. As far as my experience goes, I have had to struggle for my own door prizes were included. The door prizes health care (on the outside). So believe me, students who voted NO on the referendum, it was poor judgment on your part, because the last thing you want here is an understaffed were great and all donated by local businesses. Be sure to thank the following contributors healthcare facility. Understaffing means less or poor quality care. when you see them: Pizza Hut for donating pizza certificates; Someone once told me, "Because of the advancement of the medical technology in these changing times, we have to change with it and welcome these new practices of healthcare" Angel's Landing Resort - A free night; Solid (this was their way to describe poor quality care and understaffing). I replied, "Tell that to Rock Gym Indoor Rock Climbing - Free your heart patients and your AIDS patients, and your sexually transmitted disease patients, passes; North County Gymnastics & The the elderly, the small children who are told they have a 24 hour bug, but die a few days later, Gyminny Kids - Certificate; Hair Attitudes and those who find Out at the last minute that their cancer is too far gone, and last but not - a certificate for the works; Albertson's & least, your everyday patient who just wants that check-up because he or she needs to know Edwards - Certificates; Bobbi Kilbourne Gifts; Kaitlynn Miller - Gift certificate for that the body is functioning okay!"

I wish you could vote again saying that thefirstone did not count --it was just for practice. I am very curious to know why you students who voted NO did so. I realize that you all can't possibly just tell me, and probably do not want to be bothered in doing so, but please, I urge you to respond to this little write up of mine and offer your input, your insights, your reasons behind the negative vote. I almost want to dare you. I can't help to wonder why you would not want more and better services from Student Health Services. Was the vote an issue of money; say, $35.00? I bet you spend way more on junk food all semester! Soda and candy is not cheap. All supported child development and the CSU San Marcos ASI Early Learning Center by giving incentives for people to attend these educational workshops. It's not too late to win one of these exciting door prizes! We still have one more workshop this semester - Thursday, May 11, 2000 at 7:15pm, with Ruthie Hewitt - "Math and Science Can Be Fun". Join us, learn and win! Also, after talking with many, it has been decided that scheduling the trainings for the afternoon rather than evenings is best. Therefore, the workshops next semester will be once a month, on a weekday afternoon, for your convenience. Keep in mind that Ellen Flanagan will visit next semester and talk about "Sensitivity to Child Rearing Values": The date is not yet decided, so watch for announcements in the Pride Calendar of Events and campus posting. Again, thank you to all that have supported and attended the ASI Early Learning Center trainings. Together we're making our community a more knowledgeable place about our developing children! Hope to see you in May! Sincerely, Debbie Nation ASI Childcare Representative Violence Against Women Act Needs Five More Years Darcy Walker Cesar Chavez Day Victor Mireles In 1994, Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), a landmark piece of legislation that works at the federal, state and community levels to protect women and childrenfromdomestic violence and sexual assault. Funding provided under this law allowed five years of federal support for programs such as the National Domestic Violence Hotline, which receives more than 8,000 calls per month. Shelters for battered women and rape crisis centers are among the many services made possible by this legislation. I attended the Cesar Chavez and Cinco de Mayo event put on by the CSUSM MEChA club. The event took place at the bottom of the stairs that lead up to the free speech area, and had the support of ASI and the University. Both the ASI and university presidents spoke briefly on the importance of having diversity on campus. Yet, after they left, the event showed its true colors and became a hybrid political and cultural rally. With training also granted by the VAWA, police, judges and court personnel are learning how best to respond to the unique dynamics of domestic and sexually violent crimes. Countless lives have been improved and saved by the programs supported by this legislation. But five years is not enough time to end violence against women, and lives are at risk daily. We cannot afford to close down shelters and hotlines. Thefirstspeaker talked about the suffering that Chicanos have faced for centuries. He said that the defacement of the Che Guevara banner last year was a hate crime because "he was a greatfigurein the struggle forfreedom."The speaker also made a thinly disguised accusation of racism saying that the people complaining about the volume of the music might be doing so because, "they don't like Chicanos expressing themselves." He finally said that his views spoke for all Hispanics. I quickly left the event and wondered what this all meant. Congress is considering a bill to extend funding for the Violence Against Women Act for anotherfiveyears. Since its introduction last year, 171 members of the House have cosponsored H.R. 1248, the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Bill. Locally, Representative Brian Bilbray of the 49th district has shown his support by signing on as a cosponsor in October of last year. However, Reps. Randy Cunningham (51st district) and Ron Packard of the 48th district have yet to make this important commitment. As residents of North County, we rely on these men to speak for us in Congress. Call on them to stand up for women, children, and families. Ask your representative to sponsor and support HR 1248. Randy "Duke" Cunningham, 51st District: Phone: 760-737-8438 Fax: 737-9132 613 W, Valley Pkwy. Ste. 320 Escondidio, 92025 Ron Packard, 48th District: Phone:760-631-1364 Fax:631-1367 22l E.Vista Way Ste. 205 Vista, 92084 Additional district and representative information is located in the blue government section in the yellow pages. Complete information about HR 1248 and any legislation, current or otherwise, can be found on the Internet at http://thomas.loc.gov The sad reality is that MEChA and other groups that proclaim themselves to be victims are worthless organizations. I am a Mexican-American but I am also one who knows that living in the past isfruitless.MEChA claims to support and speak for Chicano views, but I am one Mexican-American who would like to say that they don't speak for me. My family has been living in the United States for over a century. My ancestors came to the U.S. legally around the 1890s and have been productive members of the nation since. My late grandfather fought in the Second World War. We have always regarded ourselves as loyal and proud Americans. Although I respect where I came from I am American first. Mexico happens to be the place where my ethnic group came from. MEChA and other organizations that dwell on past injustices from the U.S. and Europe are doomed because they cannot see that those who move on do succeed/It is easy to complain, but have you done anything tangible to improve the lives of Mexican-Americans? MEChA would be well advised to celebrate Cesar Chayez but not to praise people like Che Guevara. How can a group that wants justice support a man who helped turn Cuba into a repressive, terrorist-sponsoring state? I probably will be called a Twinkie because I do not support MEChA, and I accept that. It will only show how intolerant and shallow they truly are. I hope that when the next Cesar Chavez day rolls around we make it a truly diverse event with dances of all races and ethnic groups and keep the politics out. I think Cesar would have wanted it that way.

Cancelling winter session is a step toward the implementa­ tion of YRO, which utilizes reg­ ular state funding to reduce stu­ dent costs, which are less expen­ sive than the Extended Studies Program. “More students will benefit by the new summer semester than will be hurt by the loss of winter session,” said Pat Worden, Students Celebrate Japanese Culture By JENNIFER HOLMES Pride Staff Writer Students commemorated the first day of the second annual Japanese Culture Week (Tuesday, Nov. 13 through Thursday, Nov. 15) by adorning Founders’ Plaza with traditional Japanese paper lanterns. The Japanese Club, students and professors in the Japanese Program, Anime Project Alliance, the Victorious Club, and the American Language and Culture Institute organized and presented cultur­ al activities and displays during the three-day celebration. They organized the event to share var­ ious aspects of Japanese culture with those on campus. “Our goal is to expose people to Japanese culture, to something they wouldn’t typically get being here (in the U.S.),” said Marc Townsend, founder and presi­ dent of the Japanese Club. “In Japan, Nov. 3 is culture day, and everyone celebrates with exhibitions, performances, and food,” said Mikiko Imamura Seyller, professor of world lan­ guages and Hispanic literature, and an adviser in the Japanese program. Although this event did not take place on Nov. 3, like the one in Japan, Seyller said the motivation behind these^events is the same —to promote cultural awareness. On Tuesday, the Japanese Club held a food sale in Found­ ers’ Plaza featuring traditional Japanese favorites including yakisoba (noodles), goyza (Japa­ nese dumplings), and okonomiyaki (Japanese-style pancakes). There was also a Japanese mar­ ketplace in Commons 206, which offered students an interactive video game demonstration set up by Anime Project Alliance. Handcrafted origami arts were available for purchase, as well as video games, laser discs, comic books, and Pocky, which are chocolate-covered biscuit sticks, a popular snack in Japan. Wednesday’s activities began in Palm Court with an exhibition featuring different aspects of modern life in Japan.

Edwards, an African-Amer­ ican female, filed the lawsuit at Vista’s Superior Court on Nov. 13, 2000. Her charges included race, color and/or national origin discrimination; gender harass­ ment and discrimination; retali­ ation; invasion of privacy; negli­ gent and/or intentional infliction of emotional distress; defama­ tion, and violation of the Califor­ nia Family Rights Act, according to court files. In her settlement agreement dated Jan. 26 and released by the university at the request of the North County Times on Nov. 8, Edwards agreed to drop any actions against the university per­ sonnel she had named as defen­ dants in the complaint. She also agreed to state in her records that she voluntarily resigned from her job at the university Jan. 31, 2000. According to court files, however, Edwards states that she received a letter from the director of Human Resources and Equal Opportunity Office in January 2000 informing her that she would be discharged from employment. Edwards and her attorney, and the defendants from Fiscal Operations, Human Resources, and the Equal Opportunity offices were unable to comment before press time. “We can only comment that the matter has been amicably resolved,” said Rick Moore, a university spokesperson. “It was negotiated with the plaintiff and her attorneys. The payment of $210,000 settles a claim for worker’s compensation, based on stress. The payment of $5,000 settles a separate, civil claim for emotional distress. The settle­ ment is not an admission of any wrongdoing.” A law signed by California Gov. Gray Davis on Oct. 5 requires all sex offenders enrolling or working on col­ lege campuses to register with the campus police, beginning next year. The assembly bill states that any person convicted of a sex crime, including students, faculty, and all others working on campus, must notify campus police of their address within five working days. The same applies if the person is disenrolling from the campus, chang­ ing employment, or changing his/her address. If an individual violates the law, he/she will receive a mis­ demeanor, depending on the number of violations the per­ son has or commits. In the past, campus police had no way of knowing if sex offenders were on campus, because they were allowed to live in one area and attend school in another. Now campus police will know who is on their campus. “The database is a valuable tool,” said Tom Shultheis, CSUSM’s chief of police. He added, “it certainly doesn’t mean that every single person who is registered is automatically a suspect.” Federal law forces colleges to let students know who is a sex offender on their campus. Supports of the law said they believe it will be easier for campus police to investigate sex crimes committed on cam­ pus. On the other hand, those who are opposed to the new law say that the right to pri­ vacy is being taken from sex offenders *North County Times contributed to this article. �Student Government Starts Readership Program Free N ew York Times Newspapers Available Next Semester By MELANIE ADDINGTON Pride Editor Students may have a few more opportunities to read the hews next semester. The Associated Students Inc. exec­ utive committee approved the New York Times readership pro­ gram Friday, Nov. 16. The program, which brings free newspapers to students on campus, will last for four weeks, on a trial basis. “The decision to try the program was easy,” said ASI President Dean Manship. After the trial is up, ASI will assess whether they should begin the paid program, based on how many students pick up the papers. According to Manship, the board had to look at how useful the program is for students and how the program will affect the readership of The Pride student newspaper. “It is really not about the cost. As long as it useful to students then we can deal with the cost,” said Manship, Kathleen O’Connell, a New York Times representative, pre­ sented the readership program to the board on Friday, Oct. 26. Jocelyn Brown, the California State Student Association (CSSA) representative for Cal State San said she asked O’Connell to present the program to the ASI Board of Directors after Brown heard her speak at the CSSA meeting at San Diego State University. “I thought the program was good because it increases news­ CSU and UC Systems to Provide Joint Doctoral Programs in Education By JUSTIN ANDREWS Pride Staff Writer CSU students will soon have easier and more affordable access to doctoral degrees in education. CSU Chancellor Charles Reed and UC President Richard Atkin­ son reached a tentative agree­ ment, in which each system, Uni­ versity of California and Cali­ fornia State* University, will put up $2 million to organize pro­ grams among various campuses. Colleen Bentley-Adler, a spokes­ person for the CSU chancellor’s office, said that the joint pro­ gram may be offered as soon as August. The joint program aims to provide many future teachers with a thorough, in-depth edu­ cation designed to raise the over­ all quality of education for both students and teachers. “I wouldn’t say right now whether that can be done by August, but I wouldn’t rule it out,” said CSUSM’s Dean of Education, Steve Lilly. “This is really important for us, and important to public school peo­ ple around here in general, to have better access to this doc­ toral of education program,” he said. Seventeen percent of Cal State San Marcos students are here for degrees in education. Sixty percent of California’s teachers graduated from the CSU system, all with little or no access to a doctoral degree in education. “We invest a high­ er percentage of our resources in education training than any other Cal State University,” Lilly . said, noting that UC Riverside is a nearby school that offers educational doctorates. In I960, the California Master Plan for Education assigned the UC system to be the sole provider for a doctoral degree in an education pro­ gram. Bentley-Adler said, how­ ever, that the UC system is not meeting the demands of future teachers. Eighty percent of these degrees are obtained at expensive private schools, which deprives the majority of California’s teachers of a higher level of education. . Some may wondef whether future educators f^m flie CSU system are ready for a doctoral program. A study conducted by the CSU system shows that more than 25 percent of students grad­ uating with teaching degrees feel unprepared to teach English and math, while 60 percent said they were not prepared to teach science,, history, or social sci­ ence. Buddhism Discussion P art o f Event »A rticle cont. from pg 1 student Miwa King. Wednesday’s activities also included a lecture and demon­ stration on Hayashi, Japanese kabuki percussion, by Katada Kikusa in University Hall 237. The demonstration featured Hayashi’s main instruments as well as the koto, the oldest tra­ ditional Japanese string instru­ ment, which dates back 1,300 years. Ken Saragosa, a leader of the Buddhist organization, Soka Gakkai International-USA, spoke about Buddhism’s prin­ ciple belief in humanity and the empowerment of people. “A great revolution of character in just a single man will help achieve a change in the destiny of a nation and, further, will cause a change in the destiny of all mankind.” About 45 people attended the lecture.

The California Faculty Association (CFA) organized the Nov. 14 teach-in to present the Board of Trustees with a unified front of support. The morning of the teach-in began with vocal protests, and the crowd organized a picket line outside the CSU trustees meeting, held at the chancellor’s office. The rally began with an introduction and welcome from Gonzalo Santos, CFA president and a professor from CSU Bakersfield. Speakers included Assemblywoman Judy Chu, State Assemblyman Alan Lowenthal, and Miguel Contreras of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor. State Sen. Gloria Romero also attended the event. The speakers addressed issues including the corporatization of higher educa­ tion, the decrease in money the universities spend per student, and the lack of sufficient new tenure-track faculty positions. Student Sadot Chavez, of CSU Dominguez Hills, spoke out in support of CSU professors, and the “Meta” acting group from Cal State Los Angeles performed a satirical theatre presentation called “Mac State University.” Finally, Susan Meisenhelder, another leader for the CFA, came outside from the chancellor’s office to tell the crowd that the petitions from every Cal State campus had successfully been delivered to the trustees, despite alleged skirmishes between the police and the protestors when the petitions were delivered. Trustees, however, came out to retrieve the petitions. Those who attended the teach-in enjoyed a catered lunch and live musical entertainment. Founder of University s Research Center Resigns By VICTORIA B. SEGALL Pride Editor After founding the universi­ ty’s ^National Latino Research Center (NLRC) in 1997 and serv­ ing as its director, Dr. Fernando Soriano has resigned as NLRC director. “I’m both happy and sad about the departure —happy for the center and myself, but also sad to be apart from it,” said Soriano, who officially resigned from the position Nov. 1. The NLRC, Soriano explained, provides and pro­ motes informational research and databases that focus on the Latino population. “But with the recent growth and the number of staff at the center, it becomes difficult to be an effective direc­ tor and to do what I do,” said Soriano. Dr. Pat Worden, the uni­ versity’s associate vice presi­ dent of Academic Affairs for Research, and the dean of gradu­ ate studies, will serve temporar­ ily as director. “The center was Fernando Soriano last year at Open House. (Pride Photo/Victoria Segall) meant to be my contribution,” said Soriano. “At some point, I had planned to release it to the university to let them help it grow.” Before he resigned, however, Soriano asked university presi­ dent Alexander Gonzalez to seek advice for future NLRC projects from consultants and experts of Latino research. “I’m really excited about the university tak­ ing a greater role with the NLRC,” said Soriano. “It will require them to take a greater amount of responsibility with the center.” Soriano will continue in his position as the director of the human development pro­ gram at Cal State San Marcos, and he will continue to teach as an associate professor at the university. This past year, he was appointed a member of the U.S. Census Bureau, and he also serves on the Race and Ethnic Affiliation Committee. Soriano also plans to focus more on his research on youth violence. “With all of the concern we’ve had over the year or so with school violence, it becomes more important for me to work on these issues,” he said. Before he joined Cal State San Marcos, Soriano taught at the University of Missouri. He received his bachelor’s degree in psychology from the UC Riverside, and his psychology master’s and doctorate from the University of Colorado, Boulder. �Peter Jennings and Local Media Interviewed by Public By VICTORIA B. SEGALL Pride Editor Roles were reversed when the San Diego public interviewed local media about news coverage, particularly of September 11, on Nov. 17 at “Ask the Media,” a live televised panel discussion with Peter Jennings, news anchor and senior editor for ABC’s “World News Tonight.” “We’re trying to get some appreciation of what’s on your mind, and honest answers from the panelists on what we report and how we do it,” Jennings told the audience of 800 that gathered at the University of San Diego’s Shiley Theater. “This will not only be a national, but a truly international experience. We’ll try to understand our role in this current phase of American natural life.” The subjects of questions posed ranged from media cover­ age of the war and hate crimes to the presence of minorities in news anchor positions. Featured panelists included news anchor Hal Clement from KGTV-10 News, editor Kent Davy from the North County Times, radio host Roger Hedgecock from KOGO Radio, news anchor Kimberly Hunt from KGTV-10, news director Lourdes Sandoval from KBNT Univision, and staff writer Kelly Thornton from the San Diego UnionTribune. One of the first ques­ tion^ from the audience (which included college students, teach­ ers, retired military personnel, and members from the Muslim and Sikh community) was, “How does the media determine what they tell, like military opera­ tions?” Hal Clement said that some news stations are selective of the news they present. “For example, we wouldn’t tell about a mission beforehand,” he said. “We would be devastated to find out that anything we would report on would cause the death of any serviceperson.” “We do know how to wait,” said Kimberly. Hunt^ who revealed that KGTV and other news stations knew about the plans for the U.S. attack on Afghanistan 24 hours prior to their reporting of it. Jennings added, “They [the media] do have access to people in the defense department will­ ing to leak information.” Some of the panelists dis­ agreed with one another when they discussed the decision of sending reporters into war zones. “I don’t believe that report­ ers should be in the war zones,” said Roger Hedgecock. “It would be like inserting an ally of the Taliban.” “It’s the right of the people,” disagreed Lourdes Sandoval. “Otherwise, why are we journal­ ists?” Audience members ques­ tioned whether or not the media was covering news or creating news, especially since the war in Afghanistan and the anthrax scares. “This isn’t abofit sowing fear, it’s about keeping you informed,” said Clement. “We don’t want to alarm you, we want to inform you.” Kent Davy referred to the North County Times1 coverage on the safety of the San Onofre nuclear power plant since the Sept. 11 attacks. “We believe the press is playing a useful role to keep you well-informed,” said Davy. “I feel it’s better to have more information than less.” As the evening went on, the audience discussed more Sept. 11-related issues, notably the dis­ cussion of local hate crimes. One individual, who identified him­ self as a member of the San Diego Chapter of the Muslim American Society, said, “We have found ourselves victimized by hate mongers and people putting out messages that are anti-Islamic and anti-Muslim, especially by people like Roger Hedgecock ... what is your moti- that hijackers who were on the. planes who ran into the World Trade Center, lived in Clairemont, worshipped at the mosques, and were taken in by local Muslims at their homes. I think it would be unnatural to say we shouldn’t have a conver­ sation about how many are loyal to the U.S. and how many are here to murder Americans.” His statement also brought applause are no rules,” it is dependent on the news and radio station’s individual decisions. A student from Mount Carmel High School, who said she hoped to become a broadcast journalist someday, asked how the panelists stay calm and ratio­ nal when they report the news.” “We have a job to do,” said Hunt. “We focus on what we need to do when we strap in that chair and focus on the news information.” Hedgecock said that talking about it helped everyone when they discussed the terrorist attacks. “The focus helps,’’ said Jennings. “I was so focused on what was happening, that two weeks after (Sept. 11) I felt ter­ rible.” An audience member, who identified himself as a member of the Sikh community, comment­ Hundreds of San Diegans gatheredfor the “ the Media ” event with Peter ed that there was minimal local Ask media coverage on the attacks Jennings, nexys anchorfor ABC s “World News Tonight. ” on Sikhs.

Everyone has their favorite holiday foods whether they are traditional, like turkey and cran­ berry sauce, or not so traditional, like chicken enchilada pie or tofu turkey. But does anyone have a favorite holiday drink? Eggnog is the typical, tradi­ tional drink of choice, but there are other festive drinks for the winter holiday season. Here are some tradi­ tional holiday drinks, Eggnog and Wassail, and one with a Californian spin: Sunny Holiday Punch. Also, there are three drinks the Snowball, Peppermint Stick, and Angel Face -- that will put you in the holiday spirit even after your mom bums the turkey.

Although it doesn’t have a “holi­ day” theme, there is one deli­ cious treat that works well for any occasion: “Better than Sex Cake.” Yes, you read that cor­ rectly. To prevent shocking and embarrassing your relatives and friends at those holiday gather­ ings, you may want to change the name, or refuse to tell them. Ingredients: 1 box of devil’s food cake mix 1 can of sweetened condensed milk 1 jar of Mrs. Richardson’s cara­ mel topping (or any brand you choose) 2 Skor bars (gee, what an appro­ priate addition) - Heath bars work just as well. Preparation: Make the devil’s food cake by following the directions on the box (most likely it will call for eggs and vegetable oil, so you may want to add these items to the grocery list if you don’t already have them). Let the cake cool for about 20 minutes, and poke holes in it with the end of a wooden spoon. Next, pour the sweetened condensed milk into the holes you’ve made. Use as much of the milk as you want, depend­ ing on how sweet you want it. Then, pour in the caramel top­ ping. Cover and refrigerate the cake for about one hour. Top the cake with crushed Skor or Heath bars, and serve. Since this cake is extremely rich, I would advise getting a tall glass of cold milk to wash it down. Note: Whether or not the name of this delightful treat is deserving of its name is up to you to find out. Cheers.

(Courtesy Photos/HarryPotter. com) By MELANIE ADDINGTON Pride Editor The strangest thing about “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” is its length. The film is 2 Vi hours long, but its target audience has a half-hour atten­ tion span. Perhaps I am wrong. Maybe the target audience was never children, but rather their parents. At the theater, some preteens and younger were inter­ spersed with a much larger crowd of adults —many adults without a kid in sight. Although this is great for the industry — selling to a wide variety of customers — children under eight or nine won’t be able to appreciate the film, if not for the length, then for the dark scenes and night­ marish creatures. But for fami­ lies with pre-teens and up, Potter is worth seeing at least once, but maybe not twice. The hero of this story, Harry Potter (played by Daniel Radcliffe), is an 11-year-old boy, and the storyline is meant for children (whether or not they should bother is up to you). Radcliffe is new to the film business —his first screen role was playing the young David Copperfield in a made-for-TV movie. But Radcliffe already has star power. When he is onscreen, you can’t take your eyes off of him. Yet, why wouldn’t he become a star? Chris Colombus, a director who is an expert in telling a good family story, directed Radcliffe. Colombus’ previous credits include “Home Alone,” “Mrs. Doubtfire,” “Nine Months,” “Stepmom,” and his directorial debut, “Adventures in Babysitting.” Colombus has a way of finding the cutest aspect of kids and selling the audience on their appeal -- even when the story line is mediocre. Potter also has some out­ standing special effects, but also some mediocre ones. During the Quidditch game (a Warlock sport), athletes are supposed to fly on their brooms, but the imag­ es are cartoonish at best, fake at worst. The images do manage to look similar to the drawing on the cover of the novel, which may be a good thing if it were not so irritating to the eye. The good effects include Hagrid as a giant (the scenes where he looks gigantic do not look fake in any way), and the paintings in Hogwart’s School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In one scene, Potter rests at the nurse’s station while a walllength painting hangs above his head. Although nothing moves near Potter, in the painting a nurse walks to a patient’s bed­ side and blows out a candle. Yes, it is hauntingly similar to the Disneyland Haunted House ride, but it is such a neat effect that it doesn’t matter how small a world it is. For those who have read the Harry Potter series, you know that the story takes you on a mag­ ical adventure. The film parallels the novel, but somehow loses that mysterious charm in some scenes. For example, the alley­ way where Hagrid takes Potter to buy his warlock school materi­ als looks very unique, but is Soficitamos tra6ajos originates para nuestro ntmiem a pubGcarse en (a primavera def2002. <Emrienpoemas, cnentos, ensayos, critka, via correo etectronkoa t <D Caribs von Son, r. cvonson@csusm. edu oath (Prof. <3esosa, m6esosa@cstism.edu. not what my imagination had conjured up while reading the book. When the images onscreen broke away from what I had imagined, the film lost its magic. But I suppose if you haven’t read the book, then this film is just a family treat and nothing more. But for those of us who expected just a bit more, there are some disappointments. Yet, when Radcliffe smiles (for he does have the most charm­ ing smile) you again believe in the magic. Any 11-year-old girl that sees this film will absolutely fall in love with Radcliffe, for he is adorable. And, for adults, Radcliffe’s childlike fascination with the world around Mm draws reminded me of the bratty Veruca Salt from “Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory” that made me grit my teeth throughout the film. Yes, part of her annoyance was just her character, but the tooth-grinding loudness also car­ ries over to real life. What is refreshing about the film is the adventure, action and mystery, but there’s no love story* Even in “Toy Story” (another popular children’s film) there is a love story between toys. Hollywood has pushed love sto­ ries into every action/adventure film to attempt to pull in all possible audiences, but no love story exists in “Harry Potter.” you into the story. There are annoying things about the film, such as the Quidditch game effects, and especially the lead girl, Hermione Granger, played by Emma Watson. Her character is sup­ posed to be a Ms. Know-it-all, but that is not the annoying thing about her. Instead, it was her loud-mouthed acting,which Just good old adventure. Very refreshing. “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” is rated PG for some scary moments and mild language. If the child in your life can handle the occasional dark and scary scene and can sit still for a long period, I would still recommend taking him/her along.

Soul indeed. The Los Angeles Staples Center was transformed into a church on Monday, Nov. 12, as Irish rock group U2 proved that rock n’ roll can be a spiri­ tual experience. U2’s congrega­ tion alternated between trans­ fixion and frenzy as the band performed a two-hour set filled with some of their biggest hits. With the house lights still on, Bono, guitarist Edge, drum­ mer Larry Mullin Jr., and bass­ ist Adam Clayton took the stage in an understated fashion not seen since the early 1980s. The band opened with “Elevation,” followed by “Beautiful Day,” both from their most recent album, the Grammy-winning “All That You Can’t Leave Behind.” The stage featured a heartshaped catwalk that allowed Bono to strut into the crowd, pas­ sionately singing into the adoring faces of fans only inches away. The elaborate sets and costumes from “Zoo TV” and “Popmart” were gone. Left behind were the bare essentials, the inspirational music from the four lads from Dublin that’s made them one of the most influential bands of our time. Songs such as “New Year’s Day” and “Where the Streets Have No Name” brought the audience to their feet. Early in the show the crowd heard “Out of Control,” U2’s first single from 1979. An acoustic version of “Please” was also an unex­ pected treat. Gwen Stefani, lead singer of No Doubt (the opening act for the evening), joined the band for a rendition of Marvin Gaye’s classic, “What’s Going On?” Other favorites, such as “Sunday Bloody Sunday,” took (Above) Gwen Stefani of the band No Doubt sangWith U2. (Below) U2 performs for Los Angeles audience. (Pride Photos/Erika Fihch-McCaffrey) proud to be playing in America right now.” Bono dedicated “Kite” to his father, who passed away a few months ago. In a further attempt to connect with the audience, a dazed female fan was brought onstage to play guitar for the Curtis Mayfield tune, “People --------Get Ready.” C N E TR V W O C R E IE Tp h* e gnant moment of the show came during the final encore. “Something about the words ‘rock ‘n roll’ and ‘freedom’ feel like the same thing,” said Bono as he held up his index finger, introducing U2’s most powerful song, “One.” During the song, hundreds of Sept. 11 victim’s names appeared on video screens onstage and were projected onto the walls of the arena and the faces of fans; this reminded us that we are all “one, but not the same.” The names surrounded the audience like spirits, and brought many to tears as Bono changed the lyrics on a whole new meaning for the audience and the band in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks. During the anti-war anthem, Bono snatched an American flag from the outstretched hand of a fan and cradled it iti his arms like a child. He pressed the flag to his cheek, and then handed it back to the overwhelmed fan, pas­ sionately crooning, “Wipe Your Tears Away.” Bono later told the audience, “Growing up in Ireland, I was not fond of flags. Until a few weeks ago I would not have felt the way I do about that flag either. We are very humble and of the song and sang, “These are my sisters/These are my broth­ ers” The concert ended with the uplifting “Walk On,” a song about prevailing and healing through struggle. U2 has always been in tune F R O D U C T X C 1N 5 with its audience, but now, more then ever, the lads from Dublin knew what we needed. Instead of letting us escape our fear and uncertainty for a few hours, U2 did something even better: helped us heal.

And we’re also starting to think about whether or not we’re really prepared for the real world. The last few weeks, we’ve been applying for jobs so that after graduating this winter, we’ll be able to enter the ranks of professionals. But it turns out that the real world may not be as excited about our bachelors’ degrees as we are. A few individuals in The Pride office want to become journalists. However the jour­ nalism field is telling them that they’re not quite prepared. Their heads are swimming with, “Do you have any real world experi­ ence? Any full-time experience? Have you done anything besides work at a school paper? School papers are just extracurricular activities, you know.” We have our internships, and we joined our clubs. We did whatever we could to create a great resume for the time when we would be ready to step out into the real world. Well, that time’s coming up. Our “extra­ curricular activ­ ities” are looking great on our resumes, but why aren’t we get­ ting hired? Were we not pre­ pared after all? Take our literature and writ­ ing students, for example. We love studying literature. But then we realize that when we have to find some necessary filing job to pay the bills, Chaucer and Nietzche haven’t prepared most of us for the real world. Sure, reciting a fantastic William Blake poem while we serve fries at McDonald’s may comfort us, but will it help us sleep at night? We’re not so sure. So, what’s a college graduate to do? We’re graduating at a time of great economic uncertainty, a time when those who have graduated years before us are being let go so that companies can make ends meet. Many of the jobs we dreamed of while we crammed for finals may be fading away. Are there answers? We guess that perhaps studying more realworld applications would help. Will visiting the Career and Assessment Center really help? Maybe for some of us, we’ll finally learn how to sell our- Ready to Register By MARTHA SARABIA Pride Staff Writer When students were able to register for the spring semester, many rushed to the bookstore to get a copy of the spring class schedule. But some students only had two days before their registration date to look over the schedule and decide what classes to take. This brought not only con­ troversy, but many discussions between CSUSM students who were disappointed about this disorganization; however, this was not all. While flipping through the schedule’s pages, guess what? The classes that many of us want or need are only offered once, so we need to make ourselves available for those classes and reschedule our personal schedules. The lack of varying class times is unfair for many seniors hoping to gradu­ ate, because if they can’t take the class, this delays their grad­ uation plans; this is the experi­ ence that many CSUSM stu­ dents are going through right now. Not only do we get a small variety of classes, butthey are only offered once, or only have one section. I am in this situa­ tion, and many students I know are also complaining about this fact. This is a popular complaint discussed among CSUSM stu­ dents. I have discussed this with friends, and heard it as a topic of conversation between others in the Dome and in classes. However, this is not a new issue at this university. For almost three years now, since I first came to this campus, I have heard the same complaint from students. Furthermore, there are dif­ ferent classes that are required for a major, but some of those are offered at the same times. This is the case for some Spanish majors, where two classes are offered at the same time, which doesn’t allow students to regis­ ter for both classes. Is this done on purpose? I prefer to believe in the good will of people and hope that it will be fixed soon, facili­ tating students with their regis­ tration process for the upcom­ ing semester. Not only will this facilitate registration, but also the entire CSUSM experience, because trying to register for a class in the beginning of the semester or “crashing” can be a very unpleasant experience for students. I hope that school officials involved in organizing the class schedules take this advice into consideration. They should lis­ ten to students to know their feelings about the current sched­ ule system and listen to stu­ dents’ suggestions; after all, we are the ones paying for and tak­ ing the classes. As a student, I would like to see a change for the better, where not only do we have the opportunity to choose what classes we want to take, but also have an opportunity to choose the times that would work better for us. College life is already hard as it is, and we do not need a new problem to make it worse. Furthermore, an improve­ ment in the schedules would help the students and also the school in general, which may help enrollment and improve the quality of student life. selves to a potential boss. Or we could always take one of those tests at the CAC. Some of the editors took the “what’s-the-best-career-for-you” test our freshman year at Cal State San Marcos. We don’t nec­ essarily trust the results though. Particularly since it turns out that, according to one the test one of the editor’s should have become a nun. Well, at least if she became a nun she’d have free food and room and board. That may be a step ahead of some of us ready to graduate. For the most part, though, the majority of us are opting for graduate school, because the real world is just a bit too uncer­ tain right now.

Services provided by mental health, education, and juvenile justice agencies often have little impact on the down­ ward trajectory of aggressive children” (Timothy A. Cavell, ‘Working with Parents of Aggres­ sive Children’, page 19). I found an effective intervention with exceptionally aggressive ninth graders to be telling these stu­ dents, still in their formative years, the serious consequences of their current behavioral course (“a life of crime and a life in jail”) but was told that saying such things is “taboo in public education.” By the time it is not taboo, it is too late. The con­ sequences affect suburbanites as well as urban communities. Current policies are worse than ineffective. I have found that the vast majority of ninthgrade mathematics students in an urban school cannot do simple addition and subtraction that they were supposed to have learned in grade school. I was told to observe the class of another teacher, held out to me as a model, and found him telling the students he will give them “100 percent credit” if, in solving a LETTER simple equation, they just show him the steps, even if their addi­ tion, subtraction, multiplication and division are wrong, regard­ less of their answers. This is fraud upon the public. I have found that the main reason the students do not know simple addition and subtraction or the steps in solving a simple equation is their refusal to learn, which is part of their aggressive behavior (above). Satish Chandra Maryland Get Involved on Campus By DUSTIN NAYLOR Pride Staff Writer Did you know there are almost a hundred ways for you to get involved on campus? Cal State San Marcos hosts and spon­ sors student clubs, organizations, honor societies, fraternities and sororities, and the campus com­ munity as a whole, which leaves an entire window of opportunity open for involvement on campus. Not interested? Then get involved in student-based committees. The university makes important decisions involving you, your education, and your campus through means of student-based committees. Both the univer­ sity and Associated Students Inc. sponsor these student/ faculty/administration groups in attempts to get the student voice heard on campus. What if the university want­ ed to increase your tuition pay­ ment by $50? I believe many students would be upset over a student fee increase, don’t you? What about graduation? Do you have a voice or opinion on grad­ uation this year, the next, and the following years to come? Do you have concerns about the ceremo­ ny, the distinguished speakers, or coordination of this sacred event? You probably do. Are you interested in club funding and sponsorship? Did you know there are student funds available to clubs and organizations to help campus climate, academic, and social life here at CSUSM? Committees address a vast array of issues that affect every stu­ dent, every day. The committee serves as a catalyst for all these issues; not by some university executive, but by the undergrad­ uates and faculty that educate you. If commencement prepara­ tions or clubs don’t interest you, there are a variety of other committees to choose from. University committees entail a wide spectrum of campus issues concerning the academic sen­ ate, university student, and glob­ al affairs, and academic plan­ ning and policy. Also, ASI hosts its own committees involved in programming, communications, fundraising, and finance. Now the word “committee” may seem kind of ugly to you. Students regard these commit­ tees as “a lot of work” and “time-consuming.” The biggest reason students give for not get­ ting involved is that they “don’t have enough time for this type of involvement. I have work school, a social life, kids and parents, etc.” These are all legiti­ mate reasons; however, did you know committee membership can be placed and recognized on your transcripts and resumes, give you insight into your own education and the education of those to follow, and serve as an instructional guide to the innerworkings of the university? The committee experience is great for all majors. Whether you’re majoring in business, arts and sciences, or education, the com­ mittee is an excellent way to meet people, gain valuable group skills, and actually make the decisions that govern how we are educated. This involvement is also an excellent networking strategy. The time commitments undergraduates will sacrifice within the committee complete­ ly outweigh the limitations that some students face. It is simple to get involved at CSUSM. First, come to the ASI office (Commons 203) and fill out an application. You will then be given a list of different and dynamic committees to choose from. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to call Dustin Naylor, Executive Vice President for ASI at (760) 750-4990. �Students React to “Humanitarian Aid Kills People” Opinion Article Student’s Insight into Issue a Problem To the Editors: In response to the artiele, “Humanitarian Aid Kills People,” written by David Ludwig, I have a few concerns regarding this article’s insight about the under­ lying problem. It seems that the author of this article was clearly influenced by his background in biology, espe­ cially about his assertion regard­ ing population growth and food production. This theory, examined by British economist Thomas Mai-, thus, argued that if unchecked, human population has the natural capacity to expand exponentially, while food production could only be expected to increase at a linear rate. Well, this theory seems to be outdated. , We must look at this type of problem from a cultural perspec­ tive, as noted by John H. Boldley, author of Anthropology and Contemporary Human Problems. Boldley stated that, “It is a mis­ take to assume that natural limits, such as overpopulation, is the pri­ mary cause of hunger. It is the structural aspects of society, par­ ticularly inequalities of wealth and power in cultures* that make food a commercial commodity that the poor cannot afford,” This seems to make more sense than the comparison that Mr. Ludwig made with humans and squir­ rels. So with that in mind, the statement in the article that says “people will starve in greater numbers than would have been possible without the humanitar­ ian aid” is clearly a blind state­ ment that does not address the root of the problem. People do not die because of humanitarian aid, but instead it seems to be because of ruling elite’s stronghold on the food world’s market system. These major corporations make it impossible for the poor to have access to means of basic needs for survival. However, Mr. Ludwig did make one good point that I must agree on which was, “Death is the inevitable reality of life, and it is wrong to think that this can be changed.” I leave you with a quote from Frances Moore Lappe and Joseph Collins, authors of Food First, Beyond the Myth o f Scarcity: “As long as food is something bought and sold in a society with great income differences, the degrees of hunger tells us nothing about the density of the population.” actually export more grains than their imports. And they have the carrying capacity to support their population, not even mentioning that many of the farmlands have not yet developed. The true causes of the hunger in those nations are human-made and can be reversed. It is com­ pletely due to the unequal distri­ bution of agricultural resource in those nations. Also, even though there is plenty of food, there are many people who cannot afford to buy it. Taking African coun­ tries as examples, the elite’s con­ trol good farmlands and other resources to produce money-mak­ Robert Avila ing erops to be exported instead Student of producing food crops for the population need in their coun­ tries. Political and social systems cause hunger for many poor people in those nations. Taking that myth but, we will see that people can re-build their life if the system is right and if they are To the Editors: given the chances. That’s why humanitarian aid will help, not The erroneous conclu­ “kill.” sion drawn by “Humanitarian Aid Kills People” of your Oct. 30 Tina Schenk publication prompts me to write Student this response. Author David J. Lud­ wig’s argument was that the pop­ ulation in poor countries needing c c humanitarian aid is beyond those countries’ carrying capacity. As such, humanitarian aid will now make the population grow arti­ ficially, and when the aid sud­ denly stops there will be more people dying due to the already poor carrying capacity in those countries. The big myth behind his con­ clusion is that the earth can'no longer support the population. To the Editors: The surprising fact is that the world today produces more food In regards to your article, Mr. than humans need. Scarcity is Ludwig, I have a better idea. not the cause of hunger.

Let’s kill everyone who I would suggest that the author read the book, World is suffering: those that are sick, Hunger: Twelve Myths, 2nd Edi­ terminally ill, mentally or physi­ tion. As overwhelmingly sup­ cally challenged, anyone who is ported by data, those hungry weak, “Survival of The Fittest.” nations, such as many African At least that is what it sounded countries, India, and Bangladesh, like to me. Or did you just happen to read a Charles Darwin book or Conclusions in Error Survival of the Fittest” some other science or statistics book, and figure it all out? In your article you said that by us being humanitarians we are only prolonging their suffering. You are wrong. Helping one person can make a difference. Helping many will make a bigger difference. Being a humanitarian does not only mean feeding people. It is a way life concerned with the inter­ ests of all mankind. The truth is that there is enough food to go around. Today the world produces enough grain to provide the entire pop­ ulation with 3,500 calories of energy a day. That’s more cal­ ories Ilian a lot of Americans today wish to consume. (This is just grain products ; there are still plenty' of other foods to be dis­ tributed). Along with the popula­ tion growth, so has the increase in food production grown even more so. Helping people will not kill people. The problem is the people that think like you. The reasons food seems to be so scarce is due to inequality and messed up governments. A lot of times it is more profitable for countries to export their edibles than to share them amongst their people. It is always the poor that seem to suffer so much. And it is sad that these people who help produce the food are the same people who lack it. Mr. Ludwig is right about the population increase. Something must be done, but “tough love” is not the answer. The answer is education and basic human rights. James J. Simmonds Student Student Holds O ut­ dated Belief To the Editors: Personally, I disagree with the article regarding the potential devastation caused from human­ itarian aid, as such a belief is based on an outdated Malthusian naturalistic dilemma. The belief that, in a natu­ rally occurring society, popula­ tion levels will grow to such large numbers that food produc­ tion deficiencies will lead to death from starvation is a rational yet archaic notion. A more contem­ porary approach should focus on the understanding that we live in a commercially-driven world where particular cultures increase food production for profit, by the use of fertilizer, pesticide use, etc. To illustrate this point, an article printed in Food First, the institute for food and develop­ ment policy, claims that, “many of the countries where hunger is rampant export more in agricul­ tural goods than they import’’ Therefore, such faminerinduced countries (i.e. Africa, Brazil, India* etc.) export more agricul­ turally harvested goods than they import which proves that scarcity is not the cause of starvation. So, you may then ask what is the cause of malnutrition, human­ itarian dependence, and/or star­ vation? Well, it’s simple; causes of hunger are from inequality and an ineffective democracy. Social and economic inequalities interfere with the inability for individuals to feed themselves. Economic inequalities include the desire to increase food pro­ duction, thus supporting both political elites and commerciallydriven market forces while ensur­ ing famine. Altruistic policy methods are established by these political elites in which knowl­ edge is shared at their costs, while coincidently increasing agricul­ tural production (i.e. govemmentally controlled USAID). Secondly, an example of social inequalities may be the increase of birth rates by restrict­ ing women’s rights. For instance, such countries that have managed to lower their birth rates include those that have established wom­ en’s rights and, coincidently, better access to education and health care. Therefore, humans are not like the so-called squir­ rels you compared us to, in that we have the ability to change using such knowledge. Moreover, since we live in a world where food is a commodity, scarcity is not, nor will be, the issue; rather it is inequalities of social power and food production limitations in hunger-stricken countries that needs to be assessed.

To the Editors: I am grieved. Grieved in the very pit of my being because of what is before me. Grieved because ! live in a world where tragedy occurs, but more because I live in a world where we don’t consider the cause of the destruc­ tion. We look superficially at what seems to be the cause, always with a pointed finger and a haughty attitude. Why don’t we consider it inwardly with the finger pointed back at us? What is the cause of all of this destruction? I am not only talking about Sept. 11, but also the death that occurs every­ day. We send our children to school hoping they will be safe; it can no longer be an expecta­ tion. We send our children to school hoping they will choose to wait until marriage to have sex; it can no longer be expected, and in fact they are given condoms and instructions on safe sex. We have killed an entire gen­ eration of babies calling it our right. Why? Do we not expect to be treated the same? Do we not have any respect for life? Why do we live in a society where a price of an egg can reach $4,000, but the price of an abortion is free to most? Where did the problem begin? We are all guilty, all of us. If we have not partaken in one of these acts we have done some­ thing else against our neighbor. As a country that was founded as one nation under God, we have been blessed. Now we see how much we need his Grace, his undeserved favor. We have been pushing him out of our lives, our homes, our work places and our schools for the last 40 years. Sept. 11 is an example of what happens when a loving God takes his hand from us for forty minutes. You may see this as Gods judgment.. You may ask yourself how could a loving God allow this to happen? I say that is exactly why he allowed this to happen. He is a loving God. What happened on the 11th is a travesty of the most heinous kind. It happened because we live in a world that has the abil­ ity to choose between good and evil, right and wrong. Osama bin Laden chooses evil and we chose wrong. We were wrong when we shoved the name of God, which is Jesus, out of our schools, homes, and lives. The God of the Bible promises that if we repent and turn our hearts back to him, he will rise up and protect us. If we will return to him he will make his enemies perish. He says you are either for him, or against him. God did not make this happen, but he allowed it to happen. In his mercy he pre­ vented the rest of the terrorists’ plan to fail. It is my hope that all men know the love of God, and recognize this as a very loud knock. How loud and how long are we going to make him knock before we let him back into the heart of our nation? TristaMoon CSUSM Student Word Choice in Poor Taste Staff Letter Dear Editors: Referencing the article “Amputate President Gonzalez” in the Oct. 23 issue of The Pride, I understand the author’s point of view but the use of the word “Amputate” was in poor taste and is very inappropriate in this case. In today’s jittery and uneasy environment with the anthrax scare and all, one should be careful in his/her use of words, especially those that sound threat­ ening. Remember Ms. Braun’s (San Diego Unified School District) threatening comments towards a couple of board mem­ bers? I’m no scholastic, but the word amputate means to severe or to cut, as in amputate a limb. Amputation could very well cause someone serious physical harm. I believe there are better choices of words which are equally effec­ tive to prove a point. Don Soriano Facility Services Staff �Cross Country Ends Season at National Championships SCOREBOARD By CLAUDIA IGNACIO Pride Feature Editor The men’s cross country team ends the fall season by placing fif­ teenth at NAIA National Cham­ pionships. The NAIA National Cham­ pionships were in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Twenty-eight teams participated in an 8-kilometer race on November 17. Out of the seven San Marcos athletes, only one returned from last year. Throughout the season the Cougar men, led by fresh­ man Rene “Billy” Reyes, were at least 25 seconds away from each other. “It was my best year ever, we ran as a team and we qualify as a team,” said Reyes. Reyes hopes to be an All-American.

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.

"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.

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.

Birth Choice helped me stand up for I wanted." 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.

Prager Judge of the Superior Court www.bamlawca.con) 1-800-793-9998 Men's Soccer Ties UCSD during Homecoming ByJMARTHA SARABIA Pride Staff Writer In the spirit of homecoming week, and with far more spectators than usual, the men's soccer team played against UCSD during Tuesdays homecoming game, and tied. "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.

The new program would have given Escondido residents a direct bus route to Cal State San Marcos. The proposed bus route, 347, would have replaced bus route 383. The original date for the start of the service was Sept. 16. However, NCTD and coach operators were unable to agree on a contract. On Friday, coach operators voted against a contract proposed by the NCTD. Many of the coach operators said the NCTD was " . . . not being fair, they have to pay us what we deserve, many administrators make more money than we do." "Passengers should have faster trips, enjoy more convenient service on main routes, and see more comfortable bus stops over time," according to an NCTD booklet publicizing the service. Meeting Our Future Transportation Needs By CLAUDIA IGNACIO Pride Feature Editor North County residents attended a workshop on Saturday to assist the California Department of Transportation's development of a federally mandated, 20-year California Transportation Plan (CTP) for 2025. Kimberly Weinstein, chief of the system-planning branch, said that she was surprised to see low turnout. 50 people attended the workshop. "We were.expecting a lot more people," said Weinstein. San Marcos residents who participated in the workshop stressed their desires for a more accessible and safe transportation system. Solana Beach and Del Mar residents want better community environment. The CTP is a long-range transportation plan that will address local, regional, interregional, and international transportation issues. "The plan is to make every dollar count to improve mobility," said Jack Boda, Interim District Director of Caltrans. The CTP Public Participation Program reaches out to various communities throughout California to learn the public's views on transportation issues, including the improvement of highways, streets, rails, and transit systems. Charles Anders, President of Strategic Initiatives, conducted an audience survey with the use of interactive audience technology, which is similar to online polling. According to his results, the important transportation needs for the public in 2025 include: viable transportation choices, and affordable, accessible transportation. "Every community is different and we understand that there are different needs, that is why we are conducting this survey to try to reach all needs," said Anders. The California Department of Transportation-District 11 and the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) presented the workshop. The CTP will host two more workshops, olie in San Diego and another in Imperial County. The CTP will draft a plan and policy review and will return in the winter of 2001 with a final draft for public review and comment.

They contend that although the conference has not progressed as planned, they will continue to discuss ways to mend past racial wrongdoings and acceptable ways to deal with ethnic diversity around the world. The remaining delegates said they have not lost hope. The conference is designed to look at and celebrate cultural diversity, but was hindered by the focus on the Israelis' treatment of Palestinians, and the question of the West paying reparations to past victims of slavery. When the U.S. pulled out from the conference, the action sparked mixed reviews from conference attendees. AfricanAmerican protesters said they wondered why the U.S. would not compromise and continue with the talks, and delegates said there was no room for a compromise. "This is not a question of persuading people. This was a question of an iron wall ... ," said delegation member and Calif. Representative, Tom Lantos. On the other hand, Mary Robinson, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights who organized the conference said, "There is a good sense that we are back on course." Last week the U.S. joined Israel and backed out of the World Conference Against Racism, held in South Africa. Before the conference started, the U.S. and Israel warned that they would not participate if the offensive language in the documentation, labeling Israel as "a new kind of apartheid," was not removed. Secretary of State Colin Powell said, "I have taken this decision with regret because of the importance of the international fight against racism and the contribution that the conference could have made to it." The European Union, in addition to the U.S. and Israel, questioned the criticism of the Israeli nation, but they decided to continue talks on a promise from the delegates to re-draft conference documents. The re-draft used Thursday acknowledged a forced occupation of Palestine by Israel, but no longer labels Israel as racist. Since the change in the documents came at such a late time in the conference, delegates from the remaining groups said they wonder if there will be any progress.

Goldstein is part of the women's lacrosse club, the newest addition to campus clubs this year. Rachel Acfalle, another student and lacrosse player, said, "Right now it (lacrosse) is an extracurricular activity." Lacrosse is a spring sport that combines soccer, hockey, and football. The total cost for the lacrosse equipment, which includes the sticks and shoes, is about $100 per student, according to Goldstein. There are approximately 20 women in the club, according to Acfalle! The players explained that men's lacrosse is slightly rougher playing than women's lacrosse. The women focus, for example, more on running and using their hands and sticks to catch the ball, while the men play the game more as if it was football. Although official practice will not start until February, women interested in joining the club have begun to practice and use the sport "as a way to release stress," said student Shannon Donahue. No information on the men's lacrosse team is available this week. Jeff Cudmore, co-captain of the lacrosse team, declined an interview, stating that Brad Schmidt, Technical Coordinator for ASI, must be present to answer any questions about the club. Other lacrosse players on the men's team also denied requests for interviews during Friday's lacrosse meeting on Mangrum Track. Schmidt did not respond to an e-mail or phone request for an interview. Those who would like more information on the women's lacrosse club may e-mail Stacy Goldstein at golds010@csusm.edu.

Recently an individual who works for the student government on campus attempted to stonewall The Pride by instructing a group of students not to communicate with Pride reporters. Whether this decision was made to cover up any wrongdoing is not known at this time, but what concerns the student newspaper staff the most is that the students gave up their freedom of speech so willingly. We understand that students make their own choices. Those who choose to give up their rights do so of their own accord. Nevertheless, for those who may not be sure of their rights, we would like to explain them - with the help of information from the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union). Taking control of a student's ability to discuss matters with The Pride is a serious offense to the editors and to the readership of the student paper. We understand that people will try to conceal information. But any attempt to keep individuals quiet, especially students whose stories may be told in print, silences their voices and hinders freedom of expression. Students' voices must be heard, especially in a university whose values include academic freedom and multiple perspectives in the classroom and in the daily lives of all individuals associated with this campus. WHAT IS FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION? "The First Amendment guarantees our right to free expression and free association, which means that the government does not have the right to forbid us from saying what we like and writing what we like; we can form clubs and organizations," according to the ACLU. The Supreme Court has written that this freedom is "the matrix, the indispensable condition of nearly every other form of freedom." Without it, fundamental rights, such as the right to vote, would wither and die. The First Amendment exists precisely to protect even the most offensive and controversial speech from government suppression, with the exception of language intended to incite violence. WHY FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION IS ESSENTIAL (according to the ACLU) • It's the foundation of self-fulfillment. The right to express one's thoughts and to communicate freely with others allows each individual to realize his or her full human potential. • It's vital to the attainment and advancement of knowledge, and the search for the truth. Enlightened judgment is possible only if one considers all facts and ideas, from whatever source, and tests one's own conclusions against opposing views. Therefore, all points of view — even those that are "bad" or socially h armful — should be represented in society's "marketplace of ideas." • It's necessary to our system of self-government and gives the American people a "checking function" against government excess and corruption. The American people must be well informed and have access to all information, ideas and points of view. Mass ignorance is a breeding ground for oppression and tyranny. HISTORY OF FREEDOM Speech is protected in the United States more than in any country in the world. However, the path to freedom was rough. It took nearly 200 years to establish f irm constitutional limits on the government's power to punish "seditious" STUDENT POLL Are you happy with the decision to graduate at Del Mar Fairgrounds? 1/22 0/22 21/22 I don't care No, I want it on campus ^Results from on-line edition survey at www.csusmpride.com The Pride Co-Editor Co-Editor Opinion Editor Feature Editor Graduate Intern Assistant Editor FWS Student Adviser Melanie Addington Victoria B.

Letters may be edited for grammar and length. Letters should be submitted and "subversive" speech, according to the ACLU. The Constitution's creators believed that freedom of expression was the hallmark of a democratic society. But historically, as was the case with the Red Scare of the 1920s and the McCarthy period, First Amendment rights have been tested time and again. But we must keep in mind that censorship threatens free speech. In the 1969 Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District case, the Supreme Court held that students in public schools do not leave their First Amendment rights at the schoolhouse gate. This means that you can express your opinions orally and in writing - in leaflets or on buttons, armbands, or T-shirts, according to the ACLU. "I would lean towards 'no.' It's kind of unusual to hold it at a racetrack where people normally gamble. It would have been nice to graduate on campus." Felicia Kambara, Senior and biology major via electronic mail to The Pride electronic mail account, rather than the individual editors, It is the policy of The Pride not to print anonymous letters. Display and classified advertising in The Pride should not be construed as the endorsement or investigation of commercial enterprises or ventures. The Pride reserves the right to reject any advertising. The Pride is published weekly on Tuesdays during the academic year.

During the late 18th century, the act was used by the Federalist Party to prosecute prominent Republican newspaper editors, according to the ACLU. The early 20th century was not much better. Many were jailed for expressing their opinions, including feminist Margaret Sanger, who was arrested for giving a lecture on birth control. Finally, in 1969, in Brandenberg v. Ohio, the Supreme established a new standard: speech can be suppressed only if it is intended and likely to produce, "imminent lawless action." The Brandenberg standard prevails today, according to the ACLU. National security has been one way that the government has attempted to shield itself from criticism. The government has historically overused the concept of "national security" to discourage public discussion of controversial policies or decisions, according to the ACLU. While the withholding of information at CSUSM has little to do with national security, The Pride realizes that it is indeed a matter of the students' right to have access to information that concerns them - whether that information is about the administration, clubs and organizations, policies and procedures - or the decisions of its own government. Was this incident a form of keeping students quiet? We think so. But they shouldn't have let it happen, and we shouldn't continue to let it happen. Even a "little" thing like this has the possibility of further silencing students' voices. Do not let yourself be quieted. "Any attempt to keep (students) quiet... hinders freedom of expression." CONTINUED DISRUPTION OF FREE SPEECH The Pride feels concerned when individuals attempt to take "action that is motivated by an attempt to control, manipulate or punish past or future content." According to the Kincaid v. Gibson case in 1990: School officials cannot: (1) Censor or confiscate a publication, withdraw or reduce its funding, withhold student activities fees, prohibit lawful advertising, fire an editor or adviser, discipline staff members or take any other action that is motivated by an attempt to control, manipulate or punish past or future content.

The rest of the students will be so confused by the enormity of thinking that has been dumped on them, that they will eventually give up and give in to the pressure of conformity, only to be reborn the next day into an opposing school of thought. College students are a bunch of faceless capsules filled with the ideas and rhetoric of other confused people. Think rigamarole. Now that all that has been said, I hand the scepter to you.

As soon as the building passes the Fire Marshall Code it will be up and running with the latest advances in school technology. Cal State San Marcos' Associate Director/Campus Architecture, Diane Malone has been working on the business building from the beginning. Malone said, "This has been an on going project that started back in 1999." Malone also went on to talk about how the business building was a product of the governor's economic stimulus package of 2002. This meant that the building was a state funded project designed to stimulate the states economic condition by bringing more jobs, students and money to Cali- I encourage everybody to take time and come out and support 'your' event!"

National Hispanic Heritage Month began in 1968 when Congress deemed it to celebrate the contributions and achievements of the diverse cultures within the Hispanic community. It originally started as one short week from Sept.15 and 16. The dates were chosen to commemorate two key historic events: Mexican Independence Day, and the signing act of Independence for Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. On Aug. 17, 1988, the week long festivities were extended into a month when Congress approved the decision to do so.

Resident fraternity TKE has already managed to collect over $2,000 in relief funds, and the number is still growing. "We organized a carwash, but most of the money is coming from direct donations of Alumni and those with family in Louisiana," said Adrian Segalla of TKE. "We're hoping to get the entire Greek community into organizing larger fundraising events." Apparently people have been more than willing to help out anyone who asks, and anyone interested in helping out, whether by donation of funds, goods, or time, can contact Adrian Segalla at wooperl72@hotmail.com ity to seat 120 students. The auditorium classroom has a Distance Conference capability which allows guest speakers an ability to lecture students without ever having to step foot in California. The new building will also offer two new computer labs. The computer labs feature retractable computers, where accessing a computer means the computer will elevate out of the desk for use and folds back up inside the desk. So many new renditions to Cal State San Marcos' campus will come with the opening of the business building next spring.

CA 92008 �FEATURES THE PRIDE Successful Student Tuesday; September 13, 2005 Jason Williams BY JASON HOBBS Pride Staff Writer How do you define success? Quite possibly a different way than I do, but I'm going to go ahead and try to explain why Jason "Elm St." Williams is a success, and how he's just begun. Williams is a senior at Cal State San Marcos and will be graduating in the spring of2006 with his Bachelors degree in Communications, and a minor in Sociology. Not only does Williams already have plans for himself after college, he began his career a long time ago. At 23 years old, Williams has already sold approximately 3,000 of his professionally pressed CD entitled "Tha Hurdlez" and several hundred mix-tapes. Williams is currently preparing to hit the studio sometime next year and is planning on releasing two or three mix-tapes before summer 2006 to help promote his upcoming CD which should be released during the summer of 2006. Williams says he is already looking for a reggae/rock/skafusion band to back him on a few tracks and is "going for a different sound and growing musically." Williams overcomes adversities everyday. Like many others, he does homework and attends classes. But unlike many others, Williams is currently in the midst of potentially problematic legal issues* and still finds time to sell his CD and promote himself so that he can further his career as a musician and entertainer. "If you believe in yourself, don't give up!" said Williams. "I'm going to pursue life; pursue my destiny." says Williams. After college, Williams is going to pursue his music career as Elm St. and plans on being a substitute teacher part-time as Jason Williams. As far as Williams sees it, he speaks the truth, but acknowledges that he does not know everything. He wants to learn and grow to become a better person. As Elm St., Williams hopes to inspire with his lyrics and hopes to teach the world something different through his music, "It seems in this race of life, no man is winning, because death isn't an ending, it is truly the beginning of living. A way for all human kind to start winning.", As a philosopher, Williams hopes to inspire as well explaining, "People think that only one man can change the world, but everyone can help change the world." Williams aims high, he has apparently turned down a record deal in the six figure range, and he's not going to sign until he gets a seven figure deal offer. But it's not just about the signing bonus, Williams says, "It's really Image courtesy of Jason Williams about the right business deal. The music industry will get you famous before it gets you rich. I'm not going to go multi-plati- num and be broke." Williams is readily available to discuss how to purchase his CD for only $10.

In the end, Wood refurbished the whole look of the Dome café by adding different themes and styles. With the new themes and menu items, students have many choices.

At The Grill cougars may order hamburgers, tuna melts, grill cheese sandwiches, and BLT's.

Well, sports fans I am back. Wow, things sure have changed since I have been gone. As you might remember I left The Pride and my sports column because of a lack of time and because I didn't like the direction the paper was going. None of us figured that the sports section would disappear if I left. Granted, the editors tried to find a replacement for me but after two articles that experiment was done and so was the sports section. Apparently I had the foresight to see things were going to get ugly. An embarrassing timeline of events didn't exactly put the paper in the best light, such as the paper getting into an argument with athletic director Dr. Stephen Nichols. Also, having the University find out that one of the editor's in chief was trying to push her own agenda wasn't exactly a good thing. All of that is in the past now and I am looking forward to working with the new editor in chief, Patrick B. Long and the new advisor Dr. Anthony Hurst. Having an editor in chief who actually wants to have a sports section makes me believe that there will be great improvement in this section over the semester. Having one person take over the role that has been filled by tjyo people for F REE WANTED $17.00 per hour Photo c ourtesy of Josh Sandoval quite some time will be a bit of a change, but one that I think will benefit everyone. Dr. Hurst is the new advisor for the paper and he will have some big shoes to fill as he replaces Jenifer Woodring, who was regarded highly by many on the staff. However, if anyone can fill the position, I am sure Dr. Hurst can. It also doesn't hurt him in my book that he is a big sports fan. In past semesters, for those of you that are new to CSUSM, I gave my opinion on various occurrences in national and local professional sports. I also reviewed sports movies, books, and TV shows. I will still discuss national topics but expect some articles thrown in every now and then regarding campus athletics. With the passing of the new athletic fee there will be a huge development in the athletic F IVE department over the next couple of years and that deserves more coverage from this newspaper and from me. Now this is where you readers are crucial. The two previous semesters that I did this column there were very few of you that actually gave me feedback on what you wanted to read about. It really wasn't until I left the paper that I realized so many people actually read this column. I figured this was just a space filler so I wrote a lot of my previous articles for me and what I thought was newsworthy. I want things to change so if you think something is important don't hesitate to Email me at sando026@csusm. edu. When you see me around campus don't be afraid to stop me and tell me your opinion. I may look scary but I won't bite. 1 087 W- San Mareos Blvd. \ Nappy Hour every iMF fnm 4*7pm , : * * flair tiptit feMMisil?»Suftday l i closeaitfciíig io England inJNlM > North County's Best < " arid Chtpssi 19 B e e r i ^ ^ Guinness Síoút .; ' ; Harp " ; ( ? . •: • Yellow^ Pa&Ale StOUt Newcastle Brow» ' BoddingtofVa Pub Ale , Stone Imperial Stout Ag&smiif* Wee Heavy ScolctiAlo • -; - : Smithwicks ¥4 , ; j S p ¡ P ^ FullersESS^C-s * - > / Dry Blackthorn M C ^ M s n M ] ^WMMMMi Enjoy English Classics like Bangers and Mash, Corned Beef Sandwich, Steak and Guinness Stew, Sausage Roils, Scotch Egg» nkka Masaia and morel! • 2 Real Dart Boards« Pool Table, Foosball Table, Digital Juke Box with 100,000 songs and EA's "PGA Tour" Golf J jpP 760-471 -0773-~www.churchHlspub.us F IVE 39Days BUY 1 MYSTIC I I p g f a n « Unliminted Level 11 MYSTIC TANS c TAN GET 1 FREE | SET O , r t " 3 j Premium Beds I ULTRA TANS p#$25 I 0^V$39 <#$4§ 0 Good for all CSUSM s Kmt n faculty! & t tm d JUMt Good for alCSUSM üwM anö i ^ ypgr-fi pf H % T he p ath y ou c hoose t oday c an l ead t o t omorrow's s uccess Four Ultra Browning »afe Alt NewLegTmwrs . v I>: > fíve Levek of Tanning Mystic UV Free Spray-on Tmning If you're ready t o apply your knowledge and skills in the post-graduation Job market, then toss your hat in with State Fund.

The dome has been Despite that fact, I am cerlauded for its menu changes tain not many of you wish me to attend class after eating a bean-heavy lunch; rice and beans can become boring. The other problem is the food service ingredient layouts. Most servers prepare food left to right. They scoop out their selection and drag it across the other items to the right to place it on the tortilla/plate/whatnot they are compiling. With the meat selections placed on the far left and the rice and beans placed directly to their right; many meat vittles have fallen into the rice and beans, sometimes to stay for some unsuspecting veggie (and no, picking out the meat is not a viable option... ever heard of transfer?) "Our" other grilled option is a veggie burger. How many people watch how their food is prepared? Here, veggie burgers are placed on the same side of the hamburger-fat-laden grill and the cooking time sped up by application of yet another hamburger-fatladen item: the bacon press! Doesn't that just scream vegetarian friendly?? I have yet to see the left side of the Grill's grill ever in use. Why not leave that side open and hot to cook animal-fatfree veggie burgers? Think french fries are an option? You don't even want me to tell you what gets cooked along with those. The final "option" is the salad bar or Sub Shop. Withered lettuce and tomatoes worthy of one of those "Attack of.. " movies are the highlights of those options. All I am asking really is to open up more options to those ofus who "live" on this campus up to 5 days a week. Straighten out the food-prep issues, use produce grown within the past 6 months, and give an opportunity in the "Lunch Specials" for a taste of Vegan flair. It is always easier to feed an omnivore vegetables, than to feed a vegetarian meatproducts. Where is that Vegan and Animal Rights Campus Club I read so much about before I transferred here? Did they all graduate and no one cares anymore?? Well I do and intend to do something about it. For now, I am brown-bagging it... just give me a water and Diet Pepsi...TO GO!

"The Exorcism of Emily Rose" holds true to the good old fashion scary movie theme. The combination of creepy voices, special effects and horrifying makeup jobs are just the right combination to make anyone squirm. Even though there are some similarities to "The Exorcist", the two movies definitely have their own flair. I enjoyed every suspenseful moment of "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" and absolutely recommend seeing it.

BY TRACEY M. TURNER Pride Staff Writer Well, after all, jungle music was born in England and the Brits continue to produce first-rate music and put on a show like no other. The DJs in the jungle room were some awesome that I was reluctant to leave the area for any reason. From 6p.m. to 7p.m., Tech Itch, a DJ from England, started my night off smashingly, tearing up the turntables and forcing me and the expansive room full of my fellow 'junglists' (as drum and bass fans are commonly known), to dance our booties off. After a brief interlude, I tried out the exhilarating bungee trampoline jump stationed outside, I returned to the action and caught the UK's own DJ High Contrast in an amazing performance that surpassed all my preconceived expectations. From 9p.m. to 10p.m., UK DJ Pendulum ripped it up on the decks and blew me away with his energetic set. One trip around the promotional booths, merchandise tables, and food stands, and 3 purchased t-shirts later, I dashed back to NOS's Damus building (a warehouse like structure) just in time for a triple threat of the UK's (where else?) Grooverider, the larger-than-life Roni Size, and finally the explosive Andy C capping off the night with a bracing assault of rolling drum rhythms and pounding bass beats with MC GQ on the mic (that's microphone to you squares!) until 2a.m.. The shared enthusiasm of the fans, artists, and promoters lent an aura of enthusiasm to the whole affair and so went the 'junglistic fever' at the 11th Annual Nocturnal Wonderland, presented by the insanely popular Southern California-based promoters Insomniac Events.

XXIV NO. 3 STUDENT LOANS: OUR LAST SOURCE Student dependence on borrowed money rising BY ASHLEY DAY PRIDE STAFF WRITER In today's world, some American college students have no choice but to take out student loans to fuel their secondary education. With institutions dangling "instant" money accompanied with low interest rates, students have an enticing offer that develops debt very early in life. Parents, teachers and elders tell youth that attending college and getting a degree is the key to success. Anthony P. Carnevale, a research professor and director of Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, said, "College credentials are now a prerequisite for a middle class lifestyle." According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 70.1 percent of America's youth choose to pursue a college education.Finaid.org reveals 58.8 percent of undergraduate students take out loans to fund their life through college.

Financial Aid can walk you through the process of securing a loan. I would say it's fairly easy." Alisha Madison, a second year student at San Diego State University agrees with Rapp. "On a scale from 1-10,10 being the easiest, my loan process was probably an 8 .1 just had to pretty much click, activate and read the terms.

Rapp said, "The majority of students understand what they're getting themselves into. If they come to the fi- nancial aid department, we explain the process completely.

[Me] having to take out a loan has not changed any plans." Rapp feels the same way. She said, "Not in this century! People are broke. I don't think majors have anything to do with taking out a loan. Students depend on loans to live. If that's their only means to pay for education and to survive, then they have to go with it." More than 50 percent of the student population relies on loans to fund their way throughout college. Some of the reasons are their parents make too. much money, as determined by the federal government, or students' parents do not support them at all. These students decide to take on a loan. A clock on iinaid.org ticks the balance on" student loan debt. 850 trillion dollars is the latest estimate. Even so, this does not stop students from taking the loans. " I'd rather be taking out loans for school than not being able to go to school at all. Education is the most important thing anyone can have right now and I 'm not going to let the fear of being in debt affect my choice," Madison said. PHOTO BY • MASSAGEMARKETINGMENTOR. COM The Annual Health Expo BY MAYA LIFTON PRIDE STAFF WRITER Thursday was a good day at Cal State San Marcos as the annual health expo took place in the library plaza. The fair provided free food, massages, contests, and much more. 40 different organizations showed up to this event, each holding individual booths, which offered information on a particular aspect of health. Some of these organizations included North County health services, Children's Physicians medical group, The Clarke, and the Nürsing department. The nursing department had information on the amount of calories a person should be taking in per day. This number is based on your height, weight, and gender. Chelsea Witwer, a nursing student who helped put the booth together, told The Pride a shocking probability. "You don't think about what you're drinking. You can drink over half your calories per day, and people don't know this," said Witwer. People are misinformed about the amount of sugar drinks contain. They tend to misjudge the effect one drink could have on the body and drink to no limit. As a result, this misinformation has led to the obesity problem we face today. Witwer also provided information pertaining to the amount of calories certain drinks have, such as Starbucks coffee and Coca-Cola. "Between Starbucks coffee, Coca-Cola, Budweiser beer, and Snappie Iced Tea, Starbucks has the most calories." Even so, Witwer said there are 10 tablespoons of sugar in a Coca-Cola. A Better Tomorrow, another organization at the expo, is a treatment center that specializes in substance abuse and helps treat addiction. Eric Miller, the intake coordinator, said, "We work with the major insurance companies. We are one of the largest providers of substance abuse treatment centers in California. "Our facilities treat any kind of addiction," Miller said. "We also have an [adolescence] program and work with kids under the age of 18."

Indoor cycling will be held on brand new equipment at the University Village Apartments, and hip-hop dance and line dancing are both new and exciting options that will be joining student favorites like zumba and yoga. If you can still think of an excuse, here are five unbeatable reasons to join a class without delay. 1) It's free! We mentioned it earlier, but this means completely free.

You're already on campus, and no matter where you are on campus, Clarke Field House is a short walk away. 3) It's a fun way to add some newness to your life, whether that means new exercises, new workout buddies, or both. 4) A little exercise will actually make writing papers easier - no joke! British research has shown that mid-day exercise will enhance your mood and make you more productive. 5)The classes are built to suit everybody. "If you're a beginner, you're going to receive the basic instruction to get the basics.

Comprised of many different vendors selling their locally grown and homemade wares, farmers' markets offer consumers the rare opportunity to purchase food and goods direct from the source—fostering a human connection between consumers and those who nurtured their products to ripe perfection. This creates a unique shopping experience that keeps you, the environment, and the local economy strong and healthy. CSUSM hosts the San Marcos Certified Farmers' Market once a week. The market just celebrated its first anniversary, and hopes to continue raising student awareness and support of its services. Lome Scott, who manages this market as well as those in Valley Center and City Heights, describes'the market as a "nice environment," offering an exciting sensoiy experience of colorful sights, delicious flavors, and pleasant conversation. According to her, the market includes around 25 vendors selling "handmade artisan jewelry and clothes, really good artisan bread, local honey, an awesome variety of hummus, homemade butter with garlic, rosemary, or basil, sweet almond butter that's awesome on pancakes, award winning salsa with chips and tortillas, tamales, smoked fish with flavors that will really knock your socks off, oils, balsamic vinegars, stainless steel water bottles, really cool woven bags for shopping, and all kinds of recycled stuff and environmentally conscious items." If the food itself isn't enpugh to entice you to explore the plethora of outdoor stands, Scott invites students to consider the economic benefits of shopping at the farmers market. "The .dollar spent on a local business in the community has three times the impact on the local economy than if that money gets spent in a nationwide chain or big box store," she said. The more support the market receives, the more it can expand and gain more vendors. Buylocalthinkglobal.com describes how buying local food from farmers' markets benefits the environment as well as the economy. The site explains, "Transporting food long distarlces uses an incredible amount of fossil fuel that releases pollutants into the atmosphere contributing to global climate change and air pollution." Fresh, locally grown food is also a better choice for a healthy lifestyle. According to Scott, "The majority of the nutrients are still available when it's fresh, where as when it's been sitting around on the grocery shelf for a week, the nutrients get reduced every day after it is picked. The more alive your food is, the more alive you are!" The CSUSM Farmers' Market is held every Wednesday afternoon in the front parking lot off Craven Rd. Its operating hours are 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. and 1 p.m. to sunset in the winter season. Visit the market's information booth to learn about the Fresh Fund Program and other options available to federal assistance recipients (WIC, SSI, and EBT). The farmers' market also offers demonstrations and activities ranging from cooking demos to musical performances. To receive advance notice about these events, sign up for the e-mail list at the market. Notices will be sent weekly on Wednesday morning. Next on the event calendar is a dance demo on September 22.

Featuring locally grown and often organic produce, farmers' markets are the perfect place to find fresh, healthy choices and support the local agricultural community. The farmers' market experience stimulates every sense—the colorful array of food, the free samples of homegrown goods, and the pleasant conversation with local growers all help you to remember where your food comes from and appreciate its roots. During this late summer season, local markets have an abundance of tomatoes, herbs, and other garden goodies. This week's recipe features ripe tomatoes and fresh basil. According to healthfood-guide .com, tomatoes are high in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that helps fight cancer. Studies have also suggested that tomatoes may help fight aging and degenerative diseases. Fresh, organic produce from the farmers market guarantees that the tomato's nutrient power is" at its peak! What better way to highlight this juicy fruit than a delicious batch of bruschettà? Although the name may sound fancy, bruschettà is one of the simplest, quickest ways to use your farmers' market finds. Enjoy this tasty Italian creation as an appetizer, a side dish, or a hearty snack!

Hastings (Nebraska) falls to 1-4. Despite the short turnaround time, the Cougars for the most part looked sharp, generating numerous scoring chances and Penalty kick downs Cougar women in overtime BY MICHAEL RAWSON In the afternoon game, a controversial call minutes into the first overtime handed the Master's College women the victory over the Lady Cougars, 1-0. Looking sluggish after a successful road trip to Arizona, Cougar men hold Master's College scoreless in tie BY MICHAEL RAWSON The men's soccer team took a big step defensively on Wednesday night, holding #22 The Master's College to a 0-0 draw in double overtime. But they sure could have used Brandon Zuniga. Last year's team MVP and star forward ran out of eligibility after the 2009 season, and Ron Pulvers knows it won't be easy to replace him. "Players like him showing flashes of real quality in the open field. CSUSM out-shot Hastings 22-4 and held a 6-3 advantage in corner kicks. The game's lone goal came late in the first half. A nice buildup resulted in Natalya Erbel feeding a pass to Rachel Schulte, who knocked it across the face of the goal to Lauren Johnson. Johnson expertly controlled the pass, and from the right side of the goal finished with a slicing shot past the keeper into the leftside netting. That would be all the scoring, as the second half saw the Cougars generate plenty more chances but not quite be able to finish. Keeper Kaycee Gunion was rock solid as usual in net, making a pair of saves and consistently making the right decisions. Cougar women's soccer will face a big test this Wednesday at home against Point Loma. Kickoff is at 3 PM. Pulvers' side spent most of the game in the middle of the field. The two teams traded mostly weak chances during regulation. Three minutes into overtime, Master's pushed the ball up toward the Cougar goal. A Mustang player went down near the 18-yard line. The foul looked like it could have been a free kick, but the official pointed to the penalty box. Andie Reyes easily put the chance into the right corner past All-American keeper Kaycee Gunion, who dove left. "For me, in an overtime game like that, you have to be one hundred percent committed to the penalty," said Pulvers. "I thought there were too many questions about whether or it was or not for it to be called, [but] we put ourselves in a bad spot on that particular play." "And whether the penalty was a penalty...that's certainly a questionable situation, but we TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14TH, 2010 should have never been in that position to begin with, because we were just lazy in recovering defensively," said Pulvers. Amanda Diamond stopped five shots to record the shutout for the Mustangs. Gunion also saved five. The Cougars will play anmomentum and managing just two shots on goal. After a late foul in overtime, Cougar Captain Bradley Seidenglanz had the game's best chance on the ensuing free kick, but sent it sailing inches over the crossbar. Andrew Bussell made two key saves for CSUSM. Master's Defender Brian Gardner nearly put the game away in overtime, but his long attempt from the left side bounced harmlessly off the right post. The Master's College really come around once in awhile," the Head Coach told The Pride. "We'll miss him." The young Cougars (22-1) sorely missed his presence at Mangrum Field on Wednesday, failing to mount any offensive Late Comeback Comes Up Short as Men's Soccer Falls to Westmont BY KYLE TREMBLEY Playing in front of a big crowd in Santa Barbra, Cal State San Marcos men's soccer came up short against a good Westmont team, losing 2-1 on the road last Saturday. CSUSM is now 2-3-1 on the year. Westmont is 3-0-2. The Cougars got into a 2-0 hole, starting with a penalty kick goal from West- mont Doug Harrell in the 39th minute. Westmont added its second early in the second half, as a corner kick was headed into the lower corner of the net by Anthony Niboli in the 59th minute. CSUSM would respond though, as Sterling Petersen scored following a throw-in in the 79th minute, giving him his first goal as a Cougar. But CSUSM couldn't notch the equalizer, falling by that 2-1 margin. Kevin Ernst made 6 saves in net for the Coguars.

"[The Team's] work ethic ...has been awesome all season long. We've just showed some real inexperience in the games we've lost. Today, they showed a lot of maturity in being able to close the defending national runner-up to a draw." leading 7-3 in corner kicks. Taylor Schurman led the Cougars with three shots.

Having been together for nearly 10 years, The Walkmen's unique sound has been compared to that of The Cure, but they continue to stay themselves while making new additions to their sound with each album, choosing to break away from the more familiar independent and garage types of music like The Hives or The Strokes. They toured in support of their album to a few festivals last spring, including All Tomorrow's Parties in England, and Lollapalooza in Chicago. This month, The Walkmen are touring around the U.S., as well as Vancouver and Toronto, Canada. In support of their new album, The Walkmen are selling copies of "Lisbon" with original designs from etsy.com (check them out! http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheWalkmen). Weezer - "Hurley" - Epitaph Records When you see the cover of Weezer's new album there is no need to double take. Indeed, it is a photo of Jorge Garcia also known as "Hurley" from the television series "Lost." Whether or not there is a connection between this character and the album, "Hurley" is Weezer's eighth anticipated album. Weezer as a band has existed since 1992 and although they have expressed influence from The Pixies, Nirvana and Green Day, with each album their sound manages to stay original, yet always evolving. "Hurley," which is up for preview on their Myspace (http://www.myspace.com/weezer) shows off Weezer's signature rock sound that still manages to be new and even fun. The album also features Michael Cera providing back-up vocals on one of the tracks. The deluxe edition of "Hurley", which can be purchased on Itunes, includes a few bonus tracks and a cover of Coldplay's "Viva la Vida." Linkin Park - "A Thousand Suns" - Warner Bros. Records These days one needs only to mention Linkin Park and the tunes of "In The End," "Faint," and "Numb" begin ringing through ears. September 14th is the release date of their latest studio album "A Thousand Suns." Linkin Park, already known for their impacting lyrics and unique musical style, seem to have done it again. Many critics already praise this new album for its sound and impressive writing. Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda continue to share vocals, which can be heard on the album's first single "The Catalyst," released this past August, along with other songs on the album. The band also worked off of their influence from the renowned hip-hop group, Public Enemy. Following "Minutes to Midnight," "A Thousand Suns" cumulates nearly two years of writing and recording into a fourth full-length album from the band known for their mixture of rock, rap and other devices, making Linkin Park a name to be recognized. CDS A ND DVDS "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" - Mike Newell "Just Wright" - Sanaa Hamri "Letters to Juliet" - Gary Winick "Just Wright" stars Queen Latifah as Leslie Wright, a physical therapist not seeking to "belong" to a man, living with her god-sister Morgan. Rapper Common plays Scott, a professional basketball player who takes a romantic interest in Morgan. Following a threatening injury that could affect Scott's career, he begins to see that Morgan was only in interested in him for the money and fame, and that Leslie, his new physical therapist, is the one who truly wants what is best for him and his future. The chemistry between the two actors (and music icons) flows well within the story and the feel of the film. This i s director Sanaa Hamri's seventh film, following works such as "Something New" and "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2." "Just Wright" is a film with a simple romantic plot that still has its charms. Sophie Hall visits Italy with her fiancée and encounters romance in a very unexpected way, turning into a sort of "Juliet" after finding a lost letter amongst the many love letters placed in the supposed real home of Juliet Capulet. Following this discovery, Sophie eventually finds the sender, Claire, and decides to help the woman find her long lost love, Lorenzo Bartolini. Along the way Sophie too discovers more about herself and her feelings as she travels alongside Claire's grandson Charlie. Director Gary Winick's previous works include "13 Going On 30," "Charlotte's Web," and "Bride Wars." Amanda Seyfried, Chris Egan and Vanessa Redgrave star in this sweet tale of discovering love -old and new - 2nd trusting destiny. A M A N D A S EYFRIED A NO VANESSA REDGRAVE Letters Juliet Based off of the "Prince of Persia" video game series, "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" follows just about the same premise as the Ubisoft game franchise. The film tells the story of Dastan and his discovery of a sacred dagger that can turn back time. With this knowledge he winds up on an adventure with a princess named Tamina, and unveils a web of political treachery amongst his own family. This film comes from director Mike Newell ("Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire") and producer Jerry Bruckheimer (producer of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" films) and is distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Ben Kingsley and Gemma Arterton, "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" is another action-driven, Disney-friendly film that both adults and kids can enjoy. �A&E THE PRIDE TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14TH, 2010 APP OF THE WEEK NetNewsWire BY JIMMY PIRAINO PRIDE STAFF WRITER Ever get tired of going to your favorite blogs and news sites only to be bombarded by pop-up ads and useless blinking banners?

A FTE R ESIDENT EVIL: BYMILAPANTOVICH PRIDE STAFF WRITER "Resident Evil: Afterlife" is the fourthfilmin the "Resident Evil" series, based off of the popular video game franchise. With three films preceding it, «T one would assume that the story has beenfinelytuned and perfected with years of experience. However, what the audience gets instead is afilmcompletely lacking in story, credible dialogue, believable characters, or any sense of depth beyond the welldone 3D animation. With characters speaking in stilted military commands and a story that grows tedious and repetitive, the film seems to only be a 3D platform for returning writer and director, Paul W.S. Anderson. The film follows Alice (Milla Jovovich) in her continued, and nearly pointless, struggle to take down the Umbrella Corporation. Alice spends the beginning of thefilmin search of Claire (Ali Larter) and the rest of the survivors that she was separated from at the end of the previous film. The group had gone in search of the elusive Arcadia, a place of promised refuge from the dangerous T-virus that turns people into zombie-like monsters. Upon finding Claire, Alice joins a group of people who are trapped in the middle of Los Angeles, surrounded by the infected masses, with no way of escape. Within this group of stock characters is an ex-sports star (Boris Kodjoe), an arrogant Hollywood producer (Kim Coates) and his timid intern (Norman Yeung), and Chris (Wentworth Miller), a man with familial connections to Claire that come across forced and entirely of convenience. Together, they discover the reality of Arcadia, while Alice is unknowingly pulled into yet another evil plan, orchestrated by the film's lifeless evildoer Albert Wesker (Shawn Roberts), of the Umbrella Corporation. Like the past "Resident Evil" films, the plot suffers greatly to the importance of the special effects used to give thefightscenes more impact. The director Paul W.S. Anderson makes good use of the James Cameron and Vince Pace 3D Fusion Camera System that was created for "Avatar," giving "Resident Evil: Afterlife" a visual depth that allow the viewers to feel a part of the action onscreen, thus being the only aspect keeping them from giving up on thefilmentirely. The use of 3D attempts to distract the viewers from the complete lack of story progression, where nothing is gained in the film and there is little point behind anything the characters experience. Slow motion is used in nearly every scene, quickly becoming an annoyance by dragging on selfimportant looks shared between characters as they shoot paths through the infected zombies closing in. The film can be broken into segments of fight scenes that fail to connect with one another, quickly killing characters off-screen, while moving along at a hurried pace towards the intended climax. However, with the credits rolling 20 minutes too soon, the end comes without warning and fails to satisfy, leaving the audience without any sort of resolution to the 97 minutes they just endured. When it comes to actual story, there seems to be nothing left to squeeze from the tired "Resident Evil" franchise and yet, the promise of a fifth installment ends the film as a looming threat. There is no doubt that another sequel is in the works, preparing to throw Alice in the middle another battle with an unreachable end to the franchise. Ultimately, the "Afterlife" that the title promises is completely joyless and without refuge - for the characters and the audience. Happy Hour of the Week Thirsty Thursdays at the Pacific Beach Bar & Grill BY TRIXIE GONZALES PRIDE STAFF WRITER Fridays usually indicate the weekend for many, but for college students the official weekend begins Thursday. PB Bar & Grill in Pacific Beach holds Thirsty Thursdays every week and invite college students ages 21 and over from all over the county to partake in their weekly drink deals and festivities. PB Bar & Grill is located about a block away from the beach at 860 Garnet Avenue in Pacific Beach. It consists of three bars, an outside patio, a dance floor and areas where one can dine or play pool. In addition, they provide various types of music including a juke box inside the dining area and two DJ's, one spinning on the patio and the other on the dancefloor.The bar has an enormous amount of space, which make it easy to meander throughout the different areas. The bartenders always provide an outstanding performance for their customers by constantly engaging them in conversation while promoting an energetic environment and never lacking a smile. In contrast, security is very strict in order to permit a safe atmosphere for people to enjoy their time without having any concerns. One great factor about PB Bar & Grill is that there is always a diversity of new people to see and meet, the vast majority being very friendly and outgoing, according to Karla Cordero, a Liberal Arts major at CSUSM and a regular PB Bar & Grill customer. She states, "I absolutely love it there, I also like the fact that I always meet new people and it is very affordable for me as a college student. The drinks and the beach are the two main reasons why I am there almost every Thursday." The music they play differentiates every time from top 40 artists, to classic rock and old school rap. "The music at PB Bar & Grill keeps me intrigued because they play a wide variety every time I go, which I find remarkable since most places I have gone to play the same tunes over and over again," said Karla. In addition to their music, another attracting factor to the bar on Thursdays is that they offer impressive prices on their food and drinks. Specials consists of sushi that starts at $3.95 and, when one buys two or more rolls they get any popular or hand roll free. Not to mention that after 8 p.m. all drinks are half off and shots are $3 off as well. They do have other specials on a daily basis and throughout the week their menu includes 20 types of drafted beers and ciders, along with appetizers, burgers, fries, tacos, ribs, and chicken. PB Bar & Grill has one of the most outgoing and fun atmospheres in San Diego County. For the third consecutive year The San Diego Union Tribute has voted PB Bar & Grill one of the top places to go for Happy Hour.

Men's Soccer Evens Record to 3-3 BY LANCE CARTELLI Pride Staff Writer Coming off a heartbreaking loss to UCSD, the Cougars showed the most confidence they have all year and defeated Azusa Pacific University, the defending national champions, and Kansas Wesleyan, both 1-0 with late dramatic goals. Infrontofthelargestcrowdofthe year, the Cougars (1-3), scratched and clawed their way through the first half of play 0-0 against #7 APU, helping to build their confidence for the second half. After many opportunities, Brandon Zuniga was fouled in the box in the 65th minute, to set up a penalty kick to try and give the Cougars a 1-0 lead Christian Soares, who scored a PK against UCSD in their previous game, was stopped with a lackluster attempt on the PK. 'When a penalty is stopped, it's usually a backbreaker," said Coach RonPulvers. But the Cougars' backs were not broken, just three minutes later, Michael Nuovo, let loose a laser shot off a loose ballfrom25 yards out to give the Cougars the game winning goal. After the longest four minutes of stoppage time and the Blue Crew changing "Blow the whistle", the game wasfinallycalled and the fans erupted after the phenomenal upset victory. "This was the greatest soccer game I've been to at CSUSM," said Junior Rhys Morgan, "and I've been here since day one". In their second game of the week, the Cougars had another nail-biter against Kansas Wesleyan, defeating them 1-0, in what can only be called an ugly game. The game was physicalfrombeginning to the end, with seven yellow cards being called, mostly against Kansas Wesleyan. The Cougars had a plethora of chances, two by Senior Co-Captain Greg Reese, one was nullified by an offsides call and later another off a cross by Jose Rivas to Greg Reese, which was hit off the crossbar. "When you miss chances early on," said Pulvers, "you give the other team confidence". Finally, in another goal in the 68th minute, a throw-in from Troy Skomra, was played into the box and Greg Reese capitalized on it and the ball somehow made it into the corner of the net Now (3-3), the Cougars have another home game against Point Loma this Wed. �T HE^PRIDE I M I O M I STAFF EDITOR IN CHIEF VIRI DIANA PACHECOISAAC MANAGING EDITOR BEN M ROFFEE NEWS EDITOR JACKIE CARBAJAL FEATURES EDITOR CRYSTAL EVANS ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR KATHRYN MCBRAYER OPINION EDITOR AMY SALISBURY COPY EDITOR TIFFANIE H OANG LAYOUT EDITOR NICKSTRIZVER ASSISTANT LAYOUT EDITOR RUDY MARTINEZ ONLINE MANAGER JACKIE CARBÁJAL BUSINESS MANAGER & SALES REPRESENTATIVE KRISTINA LAWLER P 1 E D# S S .

Amethyst Initiative initiates controversy A lowered age limit is not the solution BY ROXANNE EUSEBIO Pride Staff Writer It has been 24 years since Congress passed the National Minimum Drinking Age Act (1984), an act that raised the purchase and public possession of alcohol from 18 to 21 years old. Today, some college presidents across the country are trying to lower the drinking age back to 18 due to incidents such as illegal means of obtaining alcohol and college binge drinking. These college presidents that want to lower the drinking age take part in the Amethyst Initiative. According to its website, Amethystlnitiative.org, it is unfair for adults who are under 21 to not purchase alcoholic beverages since adults 18 to 20 are eligible to vote and enlist in the military. They also insist alcohol education has not taken effect on students. While the website's explanations may sound reasonable, it does not take into consideration the consequences of lowering the drinking age. For instance, if the drinking age was to drop, it is likely that the number of alcohol-related accidents will increase two or three times. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said each year 55-58 % of highway accidents are related to alcohol. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 670,000 people are injured due to alcohol-related accidents. Just think of the numbers rising if the new drinking age were to be 18 instead of 21. A cruise down the highway could be even more dangerous than it sounds. College presidents believe that binge drinking occurred because of the high drinking age. I believe that if you lower the drinking age, binge drinking will never cease to exist, especially when more people will have very easy access to alcohol. This easy access will only cause more people to binge. More people binging means more people having their stomachs pumped or getting alcohol poisoning. If lowering the age will just release a great deal of problems, the law should stay solid to its original creed. Therefore, the drinking age should not be dropped. Sure 18-20 year olds want to drink alcohol, but they must know how to drink responsibly. There are still people out there who abuse alcohol, and they do not recognize the damage they are putting on themselves. While it is okay to drink, there should be a limit. Adults should know when to stop. If adults are really adults, then they would know when to make the right decisions. Until then, the drinking age will and should stay 21 and those underage will just have to wait for a couple more years or drink privately. A special note from the Editor-in-Chief: Ethics By Viridiana Pacheco-Isaac Editor-in-Chief Pick an opinion—any opinion—• and it is guaranteed that someone out there will disagree with you. We can never please everyone, and that is okay. The beauty of this country is that we have something called freedom of expression, and, when used appropriately, can be a beautiful thing. It is the obligation of the media to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and points of view, however popular or unpopular they may be. The opinion section of a newspaper, for example, serves as a haven of f ree speech, and oftentimes hosts such an exchange in search of robust and vibrant ideology, sparking discussion and drawing new ideas to improve our society. It is also the obligation of the media to hold people accountable for his/her actions without the use of sensationalism, slanderous or libelous content. It is our obligation to be t ruthful, to celebrate the accomplishments and progressiveness of our society and com- munities, and to also demand are exempt because they are answers when our govern- not "professionals." ments and administrators t ry In fact, any student j ournalto do us wrong. ist in a University of CaliforIn such a tight-knit com- nia, California State University munity such as Cal State San or California Community ColMarcos, however, this could lege system is protected under turn tricky. the California Constitution as Being a student journal- any legitimate member of the ist—especially at such a small press.

It is not to say, how- it deny the public a chance to ever, that student journalists respond to content with which they do not agree. A newspaper belongs to the readers, and those in charge of it have the responsibility to acknowledge such a fact and make sure the execution of free speech is done in a manner that is ethical, moral and fair, by making the distinction between opinion and fact. Each section of the newspaper serves a different purpose. The opinion section of a newspaper for example, is simply that—opinions. In no way is it to serve a purpose such as that of the front page, sports, entertainment or features sections, though all have the same responsibilities discussed before The editors at The Pride share such a responsibility. In many ways, it is an obstacle to decide to write about things that are controversial and may cause tension among our peers. But we must. If we do not, we will not be upholding our ethics to the highest standards like we vowed to do when we decided to be journalists. If we do not, we are not being fair. And if we are not being fair, we cannot be journalists. �Women's Center Campus recreation A place for all students opportunities By Kathryn McBrayer A&E Editor Walking into the ASI Women's Center arouses a sense of comfort and a safe placet Information leaflets line the walls and table in the entrance, but the first thing to really catch the eye is the three soft couches centered in the room inviting students to take a break and just "be." A private space is available for people who need to get away for a moment weather to breast feed, cry or take a nap. "There is no time limit for people" says Hermi Ramirez, the Women's Center community outreach leader "We love it when people come in just to eat their lunch." The Women's center does not cater just to women, but all students are welcome to cruise into the center for information on health issues, social justice and so much more. Lindsay Riedel, operations coordinator, says "the Women's Center serves so many different purposes." The center provides crisis counseling and referrals for professional recourses and legal advice. It also offers practical help for students such as f ree condoms, tampons, dental dams and an electric breast pump that can be rented for the semester or just the afternoon. Free pregnancy tests are available along with emergency packages intended to provide essentials for women who need to get through a few days. Text books are also available for rent for the semester. The ASI Women's Center is sponsoring several events throughout the semester. This month they will be hosting InterACT on September 17th in Arts 240 a piece intending to educate about sexual assault, Sep 25th National Women's Health and Fitness day, an assertive workshop on Sep 24th, and Col. Ann Wright discuss Sexual Assault in the Military. Programs like these will be sponsored by the Women's center throughout the semester to address social justice issues. Social justice is also an important theme in the Rag magazine that the Women's center issues every month. Writers of all backgrounds are encouraged to submit articles, poems, questions themed on social justice. Quizzical students are also given the opportunity to ask uncomfortable questions to 'Aunt Flo' who offers wisdom on topics such as sex and relationships. This month's issue is a combination of on campus magazines The Queery, The Rag and the newsletter from the Cross Cultural Center. BY LANCE ROSENBERGER Pride Staff Writer Campus Recreation is a fairly recent addition to the CSUSM campus. Based out of the Clark Fieldhouse, they have many activities available to everyone, from students to faculty alike. Intramural sports makes up a large portion of what the Campus Recreation Center is currently known for. For just a flat $10 fee, you get access to ALL the Intramural sports throughout the year. Maybe make a basketball team with some buddies and come down on Friday afternoon from 12-5? Or you can join their Intramural Co-ed Dodgeball team. "It's fun, competitive and a great way to meet friends." says Friank John Tabarez, who formed a basketball team with some roommates this year. Campus Recreation even has big plans for some other Intramural Sports which might interest you. These include Kickball, Flag Football, Powderpuff, Womans Basketball, and more. Whatever you enjoy, they have a place for you. Not into Intramurals? No worries, we've just begun! They also have Excursions throughout the year. This is a great chance to get off-campus and have some fun. They already had an extremely successful Sailing Excursion, and they have a Rockclimbing Excursion scheduled for Oct. 6th. Excursions still to come include Kayaking, Bowling, Snowboarding, Paintball and more. Want to learn something fun without having to pay a fortune? Well they have free Fitness Leisure Classes for students. They include: Core Central (ABS) - Mon & Wed @ 3:30pm, Power Pilates - Mon @ 5pm, Kenpo Karate - Mon & Wed @ 6pm, Ashtanga Yoga - Tues & Thurs @ 12pm, Boot Camp Box- Wed @ 5pm, Hip-Hop - Tues & Thurs @ 4pm andAfrican Dance - Soon. You just have to show up. No paying, no signing anything, just gotta walk through the door. If only every part of college worked like that. Oh, faculty, I forgot to mention, you need to pay. But it's still cheaper that tuition, so it's not like it's a thinly veiled attempt at revenge or anything... The last big thing Campus Recreation offers are clubs. They have clubs for Surf, Cheer, Women's Volleyball, Dance, Women's Soccer, Cycling and Triathlon. Hugo Lecomte, the Director of Campus Recreation, has high hopes for this program. Lecomte says "(Campus Recreation) is on a mission to promote campus involvement by encouraging physical activity and healthy lifestyles and providing quality and safe recreational opportunities." With all the things he's got going at Campus Recreation, I think it's safe to say he is doing a great job. If you want more information, or want to sign up for any of the fun activities listed above, come on down to the Campus Recreation Center in the Clark Fieldhouse. They're business hours are from 11-1 and 4-7 Monday through Thursday and 10-1 on Fridays.

This program was taught by Professor David Phillips (UCLA), Professor Nicholas Rockwell (University of Denver), and, CSUSM's very own, Professor Darel Engen and focused on ancient Greek history. This phenomenal program combined daily classroom lectures with on-site visits to create an amazing learning experience. Students also read ancient Greek classics and the historical accounts of Herodotus and Thucydides. Students were tested on all materials during the course of the program which culminated with two final papers after returning home. The trip included extensive travel throughout all of Greece that cannot possibly be covered in one article but the highlights included exploring Athens and the Acropolis and pondering the daily lives of the ancient Greeks. We also visited the breathtakingly beautiful town of Nauplion with a Venetian fortress perched on a hill overlooking the town. We toured the ancient sites of Mycenae, Nemea, and Epidaurus and were able to learn about the ancient Greeks' importance of fortification, religion, and the theatre. We visited the ancient site of Olympia which was a sanctuary to Zeus and Hera in addition to the site of the ancient Olympics which ran from 776 BC until 392 AD. We also visited the city and site of Delphi which included many ancient temples and treasuries including the site of the oracle who gave prophecies to the ancient Greeks. Northern Greece included a trip to Thessaloniki and the ancient tomb of Phillip II of Macedon. The trip culminated in a 3 day cruise to the islands of Mykonos, Ephesus, Patmos, Crete, and Santorini which included shopping, beach excursions, site visits to the Library of Celsus in Ephesus and the palace of Knossos in Crete, a visit to the Cave and Monastery of Saint John on Patmos as well as a thrilling donkey ride and astonishing sunset in Santorini. During the trip, students were able to enjoy some f ree time aside f rom site visits and studying which included meandering the vast amounts of shops in the Athenian Plaka, exploring the National Gardens, watching the changing of the guards, climbing to the t op of the Venetian Fortress ift Nauplion (all 999 steps to the top!), and; most importantly, taking time out to make friends and enjoy the culture of Greece. Perhaps the most interesting part of the trip was all of the unexpected moments that occurred. On Patmos, I watched a Greek funeral procession that took place which provided an insight into Greek culture. On my last day in Athens, I was able to explore an archeological dig which was a surreal experience that showed the richness of Greek history that is continuing to be unearthed. In closing, I would like to thank Professor Engen for his dedication to education and for encouraging and challenging his students to "mind their brains."

"While the University Police Department and campus emergency responders work extremely hard to mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from all types of possible disasters, some situations may occur which may require you to protect yourself before officers can respond" cautions Manship. Disasters reach the inner core of human emotions and feelings. Natural reactions of panic and fear are common. However, remaining calm and levelheaded is key in chaotic events. Manship also encourages students to program their phones with the University Police telephone number 760-750-4567. ___ From RUSH, page 1 members," said Social Chair and Greek Life Council Delegate Gemma Fields. "We have never had a girl in our sorority not graduate." Alpha Pi Sigma's philanthropic work includes aiding Latino communities and others in need. Alpha Chi Omega and Alpha Xi Delta are the other two sororities on campus. "We're not recruiting this semester" Alpha Chi Omega Chapter President Anna Meldau said. "However we want the women to come out and get to know us and see if they want to participate in recruitment in the spring." Alpha Chi Omega supports the fights against Breast Cancer and Multiple Sclerosis. "We want to help women realize their potential," Alpha Xi Delta Chapter President Rebecca Baugh said of her sorority. "We want to help women better themselves." According to Baugh they support Rady Children's Hospital. All of the Greek organizations require potential members to be enrolled f ull time and have a minimum of 12 completed units with a minimum 2.5 grade point average.

That being said, not all of us are the same. We aren't all lucky enough tofindgratification in TRL or MySpace music, or discover a new artist just by listening to the radio. So why not hire music analysts to endlessly comb an everincreasing bundle of musical bliss? The Music Genome Project caught on fast and created Pandora to put a unique music database in the hands of users everywhere. The Project's internal workings are relatively straightforward concepts that go one louder. Since 2000, the team offiftyhandpicked music experts takes one song at a time and dissects works into hundreds of details, sometimes taking as long as a half hour to fully capture every nuance. The song's attributes—such as harmony, instrumentation, l yrics- Pandora Radio S « gU identify it with other songs to produce groups of music with remarkably similar styles and tones. "It represents over eight years of analysis by our trained team of musicologists, and spans everything from this past Tuesday's new releases all the way back to the Renaissance and Classical music." Joe Kennedy, Pandora's CEO, President, and self-proclaimed pop music junkie, is the driving force behind Pandora's success and range of clientele. However, Pandora surprisingly spread almost solely by word of mouth. By developing the Music Genome Project into a personalized radio, the appeal of only hearing music analytically chosen according to your distinctive taste became so great that that Pandora recently created applications for select AT&T and Sprint mobile phones. Pandora's website is simple to use and navigate. Users create "stations" by typing the name of their favorite artist into "Pandora's box" and letting the Genome Project take over. Users can create and refine as many stations as they want by banning artists that aren't quiteright,or bookmarking artists that are spot on. Another recent edition to Pan- dora's arsenal of musical expertise is the Pandora Video Series. The videos investigate various production techniques, explore worldfamous venues, and highlight the inner workings of specific bands' Why O-Team may be the place for you BY KRISTINA LAWLER Business Manager As a transfer student, I came into Cal State San Marcos knowing no one. I knew I wanted tofinda way to be involved on campus somehow and as I sat through my own orientation, Ifiguredout how. Orientation Team reminded me of something I did back in high school called Link Crew. Link Crew is aprogram that helps incoming freshmen by assigning them to upperclassmen as a sort of mentorship program. O-Team is similar experience except you do not have to be junior or senior to join, so even freshmen can join in on the fun. Not only does it look great on resumes because it is volunteer work, but you get the satisfaction of being involved with an organization that actually makes a huge difference on campus. If you don't believe me, just ask one of your fellow advisors how much they appreciate the help that O-Team gives them during orientations. O-Team won Campus Organization of the Year for the past two years in a row. Over the summer, O-Team helped 1,643 incoming freshmen, 1,032 transfer students, and even helped out 838 family members. If you think those people don't remember, think again. O-Team got its start in 1991/1992 and has since grown to about 43 students this past year. I was fortunate to be one of them. O-Team also gives students the chance to meet some of the most awesome faculty members on campus. The SLL office holds some fearless leaders who really are there for you in good times and bad. O-Team is a great way to help build your leadership skills and make great friends along the way. Yes, O-Team requires a lot of your free time, however, most of the time you spend hardly seems like work at all because you are having such a great time. O-Team also gives you the chance to obtain knowledge about the campus that you might not have found out otherwise. If all that isn't incentive enough to join, did I mention that you get to go on not one but two retreats over the course of the year. I, for one, am saddened by the fact that I will be unable to return to O-Team this year due to time constraints, but I encourage all of you to at the very least find out some more information about joining one of the best organizations on campus. It was one of the most satisfying experiences of my life. O-Team will be hanging around Kellogg Plaza from 12pm-lpm on the following dates: September 16th-18th and the 22nd-23rd so go talk with them and if meeting them is not enough there will be informational sessions held on the following dates: Tuesday 9/16University Hour, Craven 3701; Thursday 9/18- 6pm-7pm, UVA classroom; Monday 9/22- 5pm6pm, Craven 3701; Wednesday 9/24- 12pm-lpm, Commons 206; Thursday 9/25- University Hour, Craven 3701. So if you find yourself wanting to get involved on campus and that you yourself had a great experience at orientation, then I encourage you to pick up an application and join. sounds. It's difficult to admit that such an esoteric, theoretical approach to why people love certain music works so efficiently. The Music Genome Project's founder, Tim Westergren, urges participants to continue in their exploration of the musical universe and not think too much, imploring members to "Sit back, relax, and enjoy the music—that's the point."

Manneken Brussel Imports Inc., out of Austin, Texas, imports the genuine German wheat-doppelbock ale. Georg I. Schneider began the brewery in 1872. The 136-year-old brewery remains family owned and operated. Georg VI. Schneider currently oversees the company. Hi-Time Wine Cellars in Costa Mesa sells 23 fluid ounce single bottles. The dark brown glass bottle displays a purple, flashy gold and red label. A bottle cap shod in purple and white hues with the company's logo seals a beer with 8.2% alcohol by volume. The majority of beers on the market contain 5% ABV. Aventinus' higher than average ABV ensures an interesting escapade. The wheat beer pours extremely smooth creating a one fourth inch thick head. The head disappears almost as quickly as it formed leaving a very thin lancet. Despite an easy pour and petite head, the brew casts a dark brown hue. The beer releases a sour mash aroma and dark color correlates with the taste. At first sip, a strong powerful surge of flavor ravishes the lips, tongue, and taste buds. Banana, clove, vanilla, and chocolateflavorsand spices comprise the ale. The brew continues shocking the throat on the descending adventure below deck. The beer tastes better at colder temperatures. If visiting Germany over the weekend seems impossible, try a great authentic German tasting brew. As responsible Cougars, enjoy Aventinus responsibly! Bottoms game card for only $15.99.

BY AMY SALISBURY Opinion Editor What might happen i f207 people suddenly and inexplicably froze stiff in the middle of Grand Central Station? Get ready tofindout. New York-based comedy troupe Improv Everywhere's Youtube channel currently hosts a video called "Frozen Grand Central." In just over two minutes, viewers experience secondhand emotions ranging from disbelief to absolute hilarity at this no less than wondrous social experiment The video begins with a bird's-eye view of Bryant Park and one of Improv Everywhere's "agents" bellowing ridiculous instructions from a bullhorn. The plan is for over 200 people to synchronize their watches andfreezein place for exactlyfiveminutes in the middle of the largest train station in the world while perplexed onlookers go about their day. Suddenly, at 2:30PM, average people bizarrely become statues. Strangers begin talking to each other, laughing at the spectacle presented by this secret slapstick company. Regular commuters to and from New York certainly come across strange sights, but what could this be? "They stopped what they w e r e doing and stood, like,frozen,"remarks a young woman to her friend. An undercover agent chats up a disturbed family man, asking, "How long has this been going on?" A Grand Central attendant in a maintenance cart honks his horn and complains to the comedians with no luck. Then, the Improv agents nonchalantly go about their business once again to roaring (and confused) applause. As one of over 70 missions, Improv Everywhere has almost a cult following in and around New York City. In August of 2001, Charlie Todd founded the group after he and a few college friends decided to prank a bar in the West Village. Todd posed as the musician Ben Folds, and within three hours, he was drinking on the house. Improv Everywhere's global counterpart, Urban Prankster, covers other acts of comedy genius outside of New York City. Most recently, an annual prank called "the MP3 Experiment" has just announced dates in New York, Chicago, and San Francisco. By the way, Improv Everywhere's slogan is "We cause scenes"; now it all makes sense.

When class gets out, this studious Mike's story doesn't start with "he and unassuming student sheds his wasn't always a musician" because, normal identity, grabs his turntables, well, he pretty much always has been. and transforms into the one of a kind At 12 Mike got hisfirstkeyboard. At entertainer, DJ Mike Strip. Hardly 13, a drum machine and turntables. a small name in the area, Mike is By the tender age of 14, Mike was CSUSM's premiere DJ, offering his entertainment services to an assortment of groups on campus. With fraternity m mu h an overly impacted program, Mike opted instead to leave his hometown for a new venture south ofhis normal stomping grounds. Even though Mike was still in Socal, moving out of Pasadena and being on his own carried with it an incomparable feeling of accomplishment. Now a Senior and Kinesiology major, Mike goes to school Monday through Friday in near 9-5 fashion. In between his full course load, Mike somehow manages to perform 2-3 gigs a week. His passion for DJing and production has proven to be a lucrative one thus far, and because of that Mike has been able to make music his job. For as long as music and DJing have been a part of Mike's life, he makes clear efforts to stay ahead of the curve. While like most DJs, Mike has moved awayfromlugging around crates of vinyls in exchange for the more versatile vinyl emulators, Mike has still managed to stay ahead of the curve. Wary of not getting too comfortable in an industry saturated with traditional DJs, he has moved forward into the less populated realm of Video DJing (VJing). With technology improving the affordability and accessibility of Video Djing equipment, Mike Strip has been able to participate in growing movement to cross the medium of music with video in Uve settings. VJing may require twice the skill, but Mike hasn't backed down from the challenge, making VJing a staple ofhis act. Keeping that innovative edge sometimes requires reinventing yourself, and that is just what Mike Strip is doing these days. Most recently, Mike Strip has revamped his image to make himself a more pronounced presence in the DJ world. Mike also plans on releasing his first album later this month, giving fans of his performances a whole new experience. But Mike is just looking at it as a chance to showcase his hard worksome 8 hours a day for 2 months straight- and mature as a producer. It his work as a producer and not just as a DJ that could launch his career to the next level. In the past, his work has appeared on television networks like CBS, NBC, and Lifetime, but it is his newest venture into production that Mike seems most excited about. At this point in his career, there seems to be nothing but limitless potential for this young and skilled entertainer. Mike stands to become a commanding presence in the music and entertainment industry, and CSUSM students should be excited to have a guy like Mike around campus. Although his aversion to the club scene has kept him from committing to any one venue, its safe to say that DJ Mike Strip Wereski is CSUSM's resident DJ. m " I • "I By Bill Rhein /Pride Staff Writer MADE OF HONOR SPEED RACER GRADE: DThis chick flick offers nothing.

Past discussion ofraises came in response to annual studies conducted by the California Postsecondary Education Commission (CPEC). According to Paul Brown- ing, a representative f rom the Chancellor's Office, "CPEC doesn't do the executive studies anymore." As a result, Chancellor Reed plans to pitch the proposed compensation increase on the basis of data f rom a private firm that the Chancellor's office commissioned to study salary comparisons. However, issues with the reliability and credibility of his proposal may provide a dilemma for the Board of Trustees. Traditionally, CPEC conducted studies on executive and faculty salaries with the support of the CSU, UC, and various government agencies. While CPEC continues to conduct faculty salary studies, it recently halted its studies on executive salaries in response to self-evaluations that suggest the methodology in their studies is outdated and incomplete. In a report released in March 2007, CPEC concluded that executive salary studies were substantially incomplete because they could not "obtain perquisite and benefit information f rom the [CSU and UC] systems."

Cross country at Aztec Invitational BY DAVID CHURCH Pride Staff Writer Photo by David Church / The Pride CSUSM cross country runners Patrick Fitzgerald and Kyle Fox at the Aztec Invitational Saturday, Sept. 15. The CSUSM Cross Country Cougars competed in the 63rd Annual Aztec Invitational at Balboa Park on Saturday, Sept. 15. The runners were up to the challenge as they were r unning the toughest course they would compete in this season. "This course is much harder than last week," said Coach Steve Scott. "This course makes last week's course look relatively flat." But the women's team was up for the challenge. Last year, the women's team had two members cross the finish line under 20 minutes. This year the wom- en's team put six across. Morgan Sjorgren led the team with an 18:51 and finished 23rd overall -1:03 ahead of last year's time. Jessica Sandoval finished 32nd with a time of 19:04. Sandoval was followed by Whitney Patton with a time of 19:08 and finished 35th. Joy Leon went on to r un a 19:30 and finished 45th, while teammate Kristen Simek finished the scoring with a time of 19:41. Lindsey McKown finished three seconds under the 20 minute mark. "Despite the women's team finishing 8th overall and the men finishing 6th, the women's team had a better day overall," said Scott.

Lisa Dickenson, coordinator at the CSUSM Fitness and Wellness Center, spoke for the event giving students tips on how to eat healthy on a budget. Dickenson suggests that students shop together with roommates to help ease the budget pain. She also encourages reducing serving portions. Saving time and money by planning meals for the week makes healthy eating much easier. An important part of healthy eating involves shopping wisely, which means finding the right store for your preferences that can save you money on the items that you enjoy. Dickenson advises that a balance between density verses quantity is also key, as density in a meal will stabilize blood sugar throughout the day. THE PRIDE tially move up the pay grade from week.

All of this work will culminate this week into what most know as "Rush Week". Formally known as "Recruitment" here on campus, September 17-21 marks a week in which all of the Sororities and Fraternities on campus plan to host events designed to introduce students to their respective groups and Greek life as a whole. It is the policy of CSUSM that students must complete 12 college units in order to "rush" a fraternity or sorority. For those interested and eligible to participate, students must fill out a registration form, which is available on the CSUSM website and at the Student Life and Leadership office. weekly cm Tiiesdays durtog I academic Distrib**I | i | l actates ¡ I of CSUSM cai8pU&\ I | j j j j j j ; j ^ 8/30-9/1/07 GREEK I H R A S&; Alpha Xi Delta will h ava I s N othing S weeter t han a n Alpha X f d essert a nd Mocktail p arty a t t he Prominence Clubhouse A X Q : Alpha Chi Omega will hold A TI2: : Alpha Pi Sigma will host All-Stars" Wednes« d ay S epi T M p m a t «he Clarfce Field H ouse Z B T : Z èta B eta Tay wIB h ost "Movie Night wKh t he Brothers* o n S eptember 2 0^ a t ? p .m. a t t he P ronv i nence Movie T heater, its "Alpha Chi Chanel" on September 2 A E : S igma Alpha Epsiion will 19th from 6-7:70 p.m. at 749 Avenida h ost i ts "True g entleman* E vent Codornte in San Marcos.

The Chargers hoped to c arry the momentum across the country to New England, where they faced a Patriots team in the midst of a sideline spying scandal that put them back $250,000 and took away what will likely be a first round d raft pick. The Patriots, anchored by star Quarterback, Tom Brady, did damage early in the game, when Brady connected with Tight End, Benjamin Watson to take a 7-0 lead on the opening drive. On the first play of the ensuing possession, Chargers Quarterback, Philip Rivers showed early signs of weakness, throwing an interception to Patriots Line Backer, Rosevelt Colvin.

I i �A quick guide inside W ith R ush W eek u nderway, T he P ride h ighlights p articipating G reek o rganizations BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer Unless you are already a member of a sorority or fraternity, the whole Greek concept may be as confusing as the symbols that represent them. With rush week upon us, it could be beneficial to learn a little bit about what it means to be Greek. More specifically, what is Greek life on campus all about? Most sororities and fraternities are national organizations that consist of individual chapters within different schools. The chapters often have an additional name to distinguish their members from the national society. For example, Alpha Chi Omega sisters at Cal State San Marcos are members of the Iota Tau chapter within the national sorority. Cal State San Marcos currently recognizes five Greek chapters. Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Xi Delta and Alpha Pi Sigma are the three sororities on campus. Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Zeta Beta Tau are the two fraternities. "But what do these names mean?" you might ask. If you • don't know about the Greek system already, your opinion about Greek life could rely primarily on commonly fed stereotypes. "It's different at a smaller campus. We are not SDSU. It's more about making friends and helping the community," said Khristina Cook, an Alpha Chi Omega sister. "Being a part of a sorority or fraternity gives you an automatic support system that will do nothing but benefit your time here on campus." Originally founded on October 15,1885, Alpha Chi Omega is one of the oldest and largest sororities in the country. On March 18, 1995, Cal State San Marcos founded the Iota Tau chapter of the national sisterhood. The purpose of Alpha Chi Omega is to provide the advancement of the intellectual, social and moral culture of its members. Their philanthropic cause is to help victims of domestic violence. Hidden Valley House and Casa De Amparo are just a few organizations the Iota Tau sisters contribute to. Some major campus events include the Carnation Carnival and Mr. Alpha Chi. In 1893, ten young women at Lombard College in Galesburg, Illinois formed Alpha Xi Delta. The sorority's purpose is to inspire women to realize their potential. Alpha Xi Delta founded Theta Rho chapter at Cal State San Marcos in February of 1995. The Alpha Xi Delta philanthropic cause is called Choose Children. "Last week we held a donation based car wash for a 2 year old boy named Tanner with Muscular Dystrophy. Our goal was to reach $1, 000.00 and we did!" said Alpha Xi Delta president, Erin Maddox. "In fact, we even went a little over." Currently, the Theta Rho chapter has 41 members. The sorority encourages its sisters to involve themselves in other activities on campus as well as maintain excellent academic standing. Their rush week begins with a picnic and ends with a jungle theme. Founded on March 10, 1990, at San Diego State University, Alpha Pi Sigma is a relatively Photo by Jackie Carbajal / The Pride CSUSM Greek organizations seek out new recruits as the campus braces for Rush Week. new sorority. It has six chapters in California. Alpha Pi Sigma is Latina based although it is important to note that the sorority is not exclusive to Latinas. Everyone is welcome to join. On campus, there are currently six members which makes rush week an important opportunity for this new chapter to grow. "We look forward on expanding this semester," said Alpha Pi Sigma president, Araceli Archuleta. "During these special events we hope to get to know potential new members." Alpha Pi Sigma's primary philanthropic causes consist of working within the Latino community and breast cancer awareness. They are participating in the "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk" on October 21st. Sigma Alpha Epsilon is the largest fraternity on campus as well as nationally. Sigma Alpha Epsilon has more than 8,200 undergraduates at more than 250 chapters in 48 states. The brotherhood participates in a variety of athletic activities and even finds a way to incorporate a love of sports with an eagerness to help others. The fraternity hosted a dodgeball fundraiser earning $1000 to the Children's Miracle Network. Other philanthropic projects include the Relay for Life Cancer Walk. "We won intramural championships last year in dodgeball and football." Said Sigma Alpha Epsilon president, Shawn McKechnie. This past Thursday, Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) hosted a toga party following the home soccer game. During rush week, SAE will host various events including a co-ed kickball game, poker & barbeque night, and a competition night of air hockey, darts, pool, and video games. The newest chapter to Cal State San Marcos is Zeta Beta Tau. While the fraternity is just getting its start here on campus, it has high hopes for the upcoming semester. "What sets us apart is that we are a non-pledging fraternity." Said vice president, Brandon Jakobovich. Nationally, Zeta Beta Tau is the oldest and largest historically Jewish fraternity. Philanthropic projects the fraternity participates in are CHOC walk, car wash fundraisers, and blood drives. Zeta Beta Tau prides itself on providing a safe environment for its brothers that focuses on academic excellence as well as a positive social network. Each Greek chapter offers something different to Cal State San Marcos but they all share a common theme: unity. The terms "sorority" and "fraternity" derive from Latin words meaning "sister" and "brother." For any students looking for life long bonds and a place to belong, becoming Greek may just be the right way to go—no chromosomal adjustment necessary.

Since the majority of transfer students do not live on campus, belonging to a club or school organization is one of the best ways to meet new people. One organization that stood out to Lawler was the O Team. "I did something similar to it in high school and really enjoyed it," she said. No matter how each student ended up at CSUSM, everyone has the same common goal: graduation. And for transfer students, that is definitely something to smile about. " That's the best part about being able to transfer to a university out of community college," said Martinez. "It doesn't matter where you came f rom as long as you graduate." The best way to feel comfortable in a new surrounding is also the easiest. Simply t urn to the person sitting next to you and introduce yourself. Chances are they have been meaning to meet new people too. m �Hard to Website makes it easier to keep up with different cyber-conversations without having to wait for a download Image courtesy of www.meebo.com BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer If you have ever found yourself sitting at a computer between classes on campus, staring at the screen after already running out of social networks to check, online shopping sites to drool over, and having gone through the entire index of bored.com, the thought of accessing your instant messenger may have come across your mind.

Church's Influence on Sports The "juice" is back BY DAVID CHURCH Pride Staff Writer This past Sunday, Sept. 16, O.J. "The Juice" Simpson was arrested once again. This time he was caught trying to steal memorabilia from a hotel room in Las Vegas. O.J. is now facing three felony charges, one of which is robbery. Once again, O.J. finds himself in tough times as he faces a serious charge. These charges are nothing like the double murder charges he faced in 1995 when he was found not guilty despite a large amount of evidence against him. O.J. is going to have a tougher time defending himself, as the "if the glove don't fit, you must acquit" line won't be working this time. The evidence is already looking bad for O. J., as there is audio with his voice already being identified by experts. Also the eyewitnesses whom he was trying to accuse of stealing his stuff and selling it, have already described O.J. and his men coming into the room with guns not letting anyone out of the room. O.J. will not get the benefit of having a trial in his home territory of Los Angeles, where he played his entire college football career for USC as well as made several Top Gun movies playing the brain-dead character Nordberg. My question is, was O.J. really acting? He obviously has no sense of integrity as he allowed someone to brainwash him into thinking that someone had stolen his stuff. Which police have said he owned at one point, but most likely did not own at that time. This is also the guy who has filed bankruptcy and has seen his name put into shame as he is no longer remembered as the great football player he was. He is now known as the guy who tried to sell his book, "If I Did It" and escaped a double murder charge. Since he had tried to sell the book, he has loss the rights to it because ofhis bankruptcy. The rights were then handed over to the Goldman family who renamed it, "If I Did It: The Confessions of the Killer." They released the book last week and plenty of senseless readers have purchased the book making it the #1 book on Amazon. Still this arrest comes too late for the Goldman family and the Brown family. Where they might get the benefit by receiving a good sum of money for publishing the book written by O.J, they still do not have any justice from their sons death. As for O.J., he does rfbt have the money he once had, although I do not think that will stop him from getting someone from Johnnie Cochran's team to try to get him off if not another expert who will tell him to have difficulties putting his finger on the trigger of the gun. I do not see how O.J. is walking out of this one, unless he had a double that was playing the penny slot machines at the MGM Grand and it just so happened a security camera caught him at the slot machines at the time of the robbery. But more likely, O.J. is going away for a couple of years.

The performance gave students on campus the opportunity to learn about African American culture through music. Yewande (e-wan-day) Austin, an urban rock artist who has performed in various colleges and universities around the world, introduced students who attended the event to a different view of music. She believes music is about meaning and expression, not just about billboards and fame. This inspired many attendees to think more intensely about changing the way popular culture is leading music. "I am very happy to learn that there are still great artists out there, not just a sell out," said student Gina Rothermel. Students also learned about slavery and its influence in the world of music. Hip hop and the blues are just two examples of the influenced genres. Although popular a long time after slavery ended, there are many ties to slavery in this type of music. According to Austin it all comes from the "Negro Spiritual." "The negro spiritual was a creative way for salves to communicate with each other and express themselves without being punished or killed for doing so," said Austin. This form of communication was passed from generation to generation and each had a new way of doing it. Hip-hop for example is a mixture of jazz, blues, gospel, and earlier forms of African-American music. Not only was this event educational, but it was f un. Throughout the show Yewande had the audience singing and clapping. Members of the audience were even brought up front to serve as a temporary chorus for Austin, including the event coordinator Mrs. Shirley Robinson. Austin had everyone amazed with her music and her passion. At the end of the show, the audience was allowed to ask questions and one of the questions, which got all of the audience attention was, why such a talented artist prefers to perform a show to educate students rather than be on billboards and popular talk shows? Austin explained that success is different to everyone. BY JONATHAN THOMPSON The pilsner lager pours Pride Staff Writer smooth with almost no head.

In her case, she always wanted to be a part of educating people and by doing this she is successful in her own way. "You have the power to change the world," she said. Austin's purpose is just that.

She is an amazing artist and lecturer. This is definitely an experience everyone deserves to have. Her advice to her public she said is "to embrace life, embrace fear, and rise above challenges". The audience loved her not just because of her talent but because she is sincere and loves what she does. She made it clear that she's into this business because it is what she truly loves doing.

Photo by Toria Savey / The Pride Penny Lane BY BREANNE CAMPOS Pride Staff Writer My job this week was to find a restaurant that would suit students from San Marcos's restaurant that values the dollar while still creating a f un atmosphere for dining. Well, luckily for CSUSM students, I found one. Penny Lane is a Beatles/ London themed restaurant located in San Marcos, right across the street from Restaurant Row. From the university, it isfiveto seven minutes away, depending on traffic and the time of day. The easiest way to get to the restaurant would be to drive, but you can get there by foot. The prices are reasonable, and every entrée on the menu is under $20.00. The staff is very friendly and always caters to your needs. If you go between the hours of 4 p.m. and- 7 p.m. on weekdays, Penny Lane has Happy Hour specials including $2.99 appetizers. They also have Karaoke Night on Tuesday from 7 p.m.10 p.m. Penny lane is open until 2 a.m. everyday, which is perfect for students 21 and older. For the younger crowd, go enjoy dinner with classic rock music as your background. What I have yet to tell you readers is that Penny Lane has wireless internet throughout the restaurant. Which means when fall and winter come around, you can go and have a homemade dinner while studying in a London pub; it could be your own vacation for two hours. Now the tricky question is: "Who would I go with to Penny Lane?" From my experience, I believe it would be best to go with friends. All the tables have a minimum of three seats, and how romantic is it when you have an empty seat at your table? I have done my part to give you, the reader, a sample of what Penny Lane has to offer. So if you want to escape or fly away for the day, what better way then tcfhead off to London to eat and drink at Penny Lane? � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

TURNER Pride Staff Writer Managing Bditor J IR$Q»EÉINÍ L /5 Voter registration BY TRACEY M. TURNER Pride Staff Writer Members of Lobby Corps, a committee of ASI, will conduct a voter registration drive on campus. Registration will be held at least two days a week leading up to the Nov. 8 elections. The goal is to increase student voting. Members of the committee have also planned two debates over the propositions and ordered voter information guides, for non-partisan educational materials from the Secretary of State. Committee members have set a tentative goal of registering 750 students to vote and will be out on campus every week on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to reach the goal, which is "a match of last years total," said Joe Wager, Public Relations Director for Lobby Corps. Wager and two other committee members attended specialized voter registration training "to learn effective ways of reaching voters." According to ASI, Lobby Corps works on behalf of CSU students to "communicate student relevant legislation [...] and to aid in political forums, voter registration and publicity mechanisms on campus." Volunteers are welcome, as they hope to expand the voter registration program to more days per week. Call (760) 750-6001. Among recent turbulence in Supreme Court and discussion of the Equal Rights Amendment, ASI will present two on-campus events this week discussing the Constitution. The events are a part of a new CSU Constitution education program requirement and also to commemorate this past weekend's National Constitution Day (Sept. 17). According to Cheyenne Barr, CSUSM Director of Women's Issues for the ASI Programming Board and CoCoordinator of the ASI Women's Center, many parties colN laborated on this effort and "came together to discuss how we [as a school] could put on events to publicize the Constitution."

Williams said he harbors no ill feelings towards the officers involved in his stop and subséquent arrest. "I feel sad for them, I pray for them, and I forgive them," Williams said of the four officers adding, "I'll never forget what they did, but I forgive them." When asked if the police department was going to offer an official apology to Williams, Woodard said no. Woodard added he would like the campus community to know, "Were going to continue what we've always done, this case was an aberration that had little if anything to do with the conduct of officers in this department." Williams says he plans to, "focus on school, graduate, and sign with a record label." "Its time for people to start questioning," said Williams adding, "Racism is still alive in America." When asked about the implementation of recommendations for change within the police department Woodard said, "We're going to improve communications with the community we serve, and we have a lot of that in place already. You're going t o see more of us, not more in numbers, but see us more often, and we're going to start programs like the citizen academy, to have people come over and see what we do."

CA 92008 ; �CONSTRUCTION, from page 1 The influence of worried citizens concerned over the destruction of scenic landscape within the San Marcos helped enact the Ridgeline Protection Ordinance, limiting construction on ridgelines throughout the city. Twelve ridges have been identified as being scenically important for preservation, including those visible along Twin Oaks Valley Road and towering above Cal State San Marcos. Under the ordinance developers will be limited to certain types of architecture and design that blends in with the surrounding natural landscape, as well as being denied the right to build multistory structures. Building projects also have to be built significantly below visible ridgelines, with future projects barred from within 100 feet of guarded ridges. Among those projects under way to preserve the scenic views around San Marcos is a proposed recreational park, to be established not far from Cal State San Marcos. The proposed park would encompass Discovery Lake with nearby South Lake, linking the two currently undeveloped areas by way of a 100-acre park. With development set to begin in the next five years, the park would ultimately be comprised of literally miles and miles of trails flanked by natural coastal chaparral and picnic areas. Some of San Marcos' most scenic ridges will also be included in the project. Cal State San Marcos has yet to be contacted by those in charge of the Ridgeline Protection Ordi- CRAVEN, from page 1 for classes, and obtain information all in one location. Easier access through Craven Hall and an improved courtyard are all on the agenda for this renovation. "It's going to be kind of messy f or a while," said Bradly Fenton, the chief architect of the renovation, "but it should go quickly." Students may find many of the offices they were familiar with in Craven Hall elsewhere during spring and fall of 2006, but the RUSH, from page 1 Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride Perspective of business building construction from inside, nance, according to Decker, who notes that CSUSM "hasn't had to change any plans." Still, Pecker's organization has an interest in preserving the scenery around the campus. For example, the NCTD was denied permission by Cal State San Marcos to build a 30-foot tower on one of the peaks near campus since it would be an eyesore. Looking to the future, Decker says that at the moment there is an intention to put trails leading from the campus to the tops of nearby peaks. "It would be great if they were integrated," said Decker of the speculative future trails at Cai State San Marcos and the trail system being developed between Discovery Lake and South Lake. When finished, CSUSM will encompass over 300 acres of land with enrollments in the vicinity of 25,000 students. Such growth will continue to bring the campus into association with local projects in San Marcos. improvements are intended to outweigh such inconveniences. Although the main renovations will be focused on the offi<^ space and organization of Craven Hall, Fenton says that the interior in general will also be upgraded and will be comparable to the inside of the new Library. Plans for the renovation of began back in 1998 but it takes "at least 4 years [to obtain] funds," said Fenton. The Craven Hall project is set to begin in March 2006 and last through October of that year.

A new blue and white flag completes the high flying trinity in the lower circle, of Kellogg Library and Craven Hall. Rick Moore, director of communications, and Annie Courtney, a resource analyst for CSUSM, both took time out to talk with the Pride about this new addition to our campus. When asked how the decision was made to put the flag up this semester, Moore explained, "We had been asked repeatedly by student leaders why there was no flag... [We] always felt it would be good to have aflagbut there were blocks... funding, responsibility and maintenance. Spring last year we had the funds." Some of you may be wonder, why the cougar, our mascot, does no appear on the flag. As Moore explained, "There was only one design. The cougar is a 'spirit mark', not the University's symbol." The new flag consists only of the familiar campus and mountains icon and, as Annie Courtney commented, "Displays our [the university] identity beautifully." According to Courtney, six flags were ordered at the cost of $284 a piece (plus shipping), however, the company accidentally produced seven flags and allowed us to purchase the seventh at a discount of $150. The funds for the flags came from university funds and an ASI donation of $1,000. As it's currently planned, the university police will maintain the presence of the flags. Although theflagshave the potential to last up to six months in good weather, the idea is to replace it every semester, but there are no known plans to update the image. Fhoto by Jason Encabo / The Pride Council to unify organizations for support Cultural umbrella will provide opportunity for students to congregate BY JESSICA DAMBKOWSKI Pride Staff Writer The Multicultural Student Leadership Council (MSLC) is a club on campus implemented in order to unify all other clubs on campus. The organization is inviting all other clubs on campus to form an umbrella of clubs and unite in order to promote culture understanding and address social, racial and gender-based related issues. The objective is to unify and enable What students to participate as well share differences. "In the past there has been a communication problem between clubs, there's almost been rivalry between clubs, we need an organization like MSLC in order to provide a great unity on campus." said Shawnda Dorantes the former president of Triota (academic society m women studies). She believes that it is important for all of the organizations on campus to have unity in order for the campus to reach its highest if I'm being the largest and most successful on campus. Unification is something that many campuses have strived to accomplish. This club seems to provide the answer for many students looking to collaborate.

The toughest games this season include road games in New England, Philadelphia, and Indianapolis. Home games that worry me see us face the Steelers and the greatly improved Chiefs. Even if they lose some of those games, it will only prepare the team for the playoffs because chances are they'll run into these teams when it comes down to elimination time. I don't think the Chargers will win the division due to their schedule, but I think they will finish second in the division behind the Chiefs, earning a wild card berth. The factor that prevented us from advancing further in the playoffs wasn't simply a Nate Kaeding field goal wide right, but a team unprepared for playoffs after a light schedule. If we can get through this more brutal gauntlet with about 10-wins, I can see the Chargers making a run at the Super Bowl.

Roommates, friends, and students of all skill level are able to join together on teams of seven. All intramural teams are coed, including flag football which begins on September 23. At least one female must participate on each team. Touchdowns are even worth double if scored by a female. Even though the season starts next week, it is not too late to organize a team. There are various intramural sports to play, if flag football does not interest you. Ping-pong, sand volleyball, and dodgeball are up and coming sports that the CSUSM athletic department has in store for students. To sign up for an intramural sport you can either organize a team orflysolo as a free agent and be assigned a team.

I found myself very intrigued by most articles and the movie review; however, I found the letter to the editor written by Erika Callahan to be utterly disatisfying. Once again, we have people complaining abdut less important issues in this world. I mean, come on, the city of New Orleans is now a giant swimming pool and millions are dead but all you can think to complain about is how your veggie burgers are grilled? Get a CLUE! The majority of the school's population I can bet are NOT vegetarians and that is why they sell hamburgers and meat of all kinds. It's quick, simple, and CHEAP. We must not forget about the cost here. Maybe the Grill doesn't use the "left side of the grill" because it saves on gas and electric or because that would take longer to clean (meaning paying for more labor hours). Obviously the school can't have a selecton of organic food due to cost as well unless of course we want to add ANOTHER fee to our tuition so now the vegans can be happy! You say, for now you will be "brown-bagging it", well maybe you should just continue with that. Save your money, for more important things like the supply of non withered lettuce and organic tomatoes that you keep in YOUR refrigirator. If all you can find to complain about is the non vegan friendly food at our school, then I say CSUSM is doing pretty well for it self. Try worrying about more important issues like the millions displaced in New Orleans who would love to endulge in those nice fatty grilled hamburgers that are served in the Dome. Just think, you have SOME choices (as you pointed out) and true, I wouldn't want to eat the same thing over and over again everyday, but just think of the poor kids in New Orleans who haven't eaten for five days. No one is forcing you to eat at the Dome so stop complaining about the inevitable and get on with your life!

They meet nightly, sometimes hourly, coining senseless acronyms, circulating poorly written blogs, and otherwise gathering to commit acts of intellectual debauchery, all the while recruiting new members to join the fold. Their numbers can now be estimated in the millions, having sects in cities across the united states, and preying upon the innocent minds of our misguided youth. Led by a man who is known only as Tom, this group of miscreants has unleashed a new wave of virtual camaraderie, that encourages the humblest teen to take on the most base and self-indulgent online persona they can muster, wrapping the pages of their personal profiles around them like a cloak Joseph himself would envy. Fiction you say? No, it's Myspace. Rather than go through the formidable task of live social interaction, you too can maintain virtual relationships with virtual friends. A byproduct of the technological age, virtual friendmaking is a new development, which began with other activities traditionally reserved for reality, such as shopping, reading, dating, and card playing. A1 Gore must hug himself with glee. A self-described "Place for Friends," the website is a simple, albeit addicting online meeting place, where users create and maintain their own personal profiles, complete with photos, personal information, music, and more. Bands have pages too, as do clothing companies and night clubs. In addition to personal pages, users can create and join various groups of every description; become a virtual groupie of your favorite band, or maybe just a genre. There's "Sex in the City" groups, traveling groups, pet lovers groups, singles groups, married groups, or just the I-like-to have-sex-in-general groups. "Photography" can be found as easily as "Real Boys Kiss Boys", and "Brunettes kick ass", or just join the group "New Jersey". "I Like Spooning", is on the same page as "Love is suicide" which is a hop skip and a jump from, and I couldn't make this up if I tried folks, "T.B.D.C. The Butt Drag Club" (who, by the way, boasts 67 members). In yet another outlet for which to proclaim our individuality while adhering to a well defined structural norm, Myspace functions as a virtual platform for not-so-virtual validation. Users can "comment" on one another's posted photos, and not a few bulletins are submitted asking for "friends" to comment (read compliment) their newest and most captivating offering to the pic pool. Fewer still, are those photos documenting young women in compromising positions, wearing little outfits and coy glances. But Photoshop does not a model make, which leads me to yet another bizarre Myspace phenomena; the pseudo model. It would appear to the casual observer that 80% of woman on Myspace are busty size-nothings with perfect complexions, an imposing portfolio, and a host of male admires, all forcing their lips into that oh-so-sexy pout that reminds me not a little of a case of bad gas. What does it all mean you ask? Simply that "real" people are collectable as trading cards, never look bad, have tons of friends, and have cool names like Mattis, Forbidden, and Tia Tequila. In a world dominated by "reality" tv, where nonfiction has reached new heights of popularity, it would seem that we forgo perusing the fantasy isle, in favor of living in fantasy worlds. Where lies the line between what is real, and what is wrapped in pretty packaging and constructed so that we can once again pretend that the monsters do not live under our beds? Thank you. Erica Ruchman literarure and writing ruchm002@csusm.edu BY JESSICA DAMBKOWSKI Pride Staff Writer On the list of preparations for an upcoming semester, the prospect of setting aside even MORE money for parking is not a pleasant one. Now, let me just say this, I was all but thrilled to see a $90 increase for next semester's parking permit (that's $248 total), however, after talking to Robert Williams, coordinator of business operations & technology, I understood the fees were predetermined. "Parking Services is also self-supported, [and] any money made [from the parking permits] goes back to building more parking lots," according to Williams. "The most recent lot [we] finished [was] behind the Business Building." Talk of the parking on campus always brings up carpooling. The idea of carpooling or riding the bus is wonderful in theory, but unpracticed for the majority of students who have schedules as crazy as my own. They live in once place, work in a totally different place, and commute anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour to get to school. Even if there are commuting students in the same area, their hours will be as different as the male and female mind. I find myself laughing with students who suggest renting driveways from homeowners near campus or a parking spot from the local churches at $75 or even $150. Some suggestions are rather witty, though, such as finding several students who have a similar school schedule and buying Palomar parking permits and then splitting the cost of a single carpool permit from CSUSM. The idea being the carpoolers park at Palomar and then cram into one car to get to San Marcos and then drive back to. Palomar after class so students can go home or to their jobs. File photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride I'm certain there will be some really intricate plans put in motion to avoid the extra fees. And yet, look at the situation; the extra hundred won't make anyone walk further to get to class, but parking in the dirt is still going to be a drag. Of course, I look forward to what the creative rebels will think of when parking passes $300. (Just imagine!) One experience of Katrina Former Pride editor gives f irst h and account BY MELANIE ADtflNGTON SINGH Special to The Pride After a weary two weeks in Gulf Coast, it was refreshing to see The Pride online news about CSUSM making a difference in the lives of so many down here. I graduated in December 2001 and remember having my CSUSM friends and faculty as support when we were reeling from 9/11, so I was glad to hear that everyone is still supporting each other and making a difference in other communities. I am a California native, but moved three years ago. Here in Mississippi and Louisiana there are so many people needing help yet too devastated to know how to ask for it. Although I have sustained only minor damage to my home and time, I hope that I can express to you how much pain there is here. It's not just something to watch on the news. These are people that may have lived in your neighborhood before moving here, and if not they are still your neighbors. Out of shock, I remained glued to the television for thefirstfew days. I waited to see familiar faces, alive or otherwise. Many in the country have given tremendously, but there are long term effects to be considered. Even after Geraldo and Fox News stops screaming into the camera about the "face of tragedy', there will be still be thousands of evacuees working to rebuild. Even at the northern tips we still have to boil our water as the whole grid went down. Even turning off the news, there's no escape from the stories. I work in the Department of Art at the University ofMississippi. I've spent what little free time I have working at the Katrina Resource Center as well as fostering a dog from New Orleans and helping coordinate a benefit art sale. I met a woman last week I'll never forget. She walked in, obviously shaken, trying to say she was from New Orleans, but just started shaking and crying. It was difficult even to get her supplies, she kept apologizing for having to ask for help and kept trying to explain to us that she is a working person, she had a job, but it was washed away. Finding what gas there was, she eventually made it to Oxford and a relative after a few days, normally this drive takes four to five hours. The stories that are the worst are from people who watched their loved ones wash away or floating their loved ones dead bodies down the street to get to a hospital to keep their corpse safe. I can't feel good about giving money or working at a shelter knowing how many others haven't even begun to make it somewhere that resembles a home and those who never will because help didn't come in time. At the end of the day, exhausted and broke, the little relief I can give still just leaves me hollow but I hope that if everyone does something, at some point it might be more than enough. So many are doing as much as they can and them some, but then there are others who say "others are giving" or "I don't have any time or money to spare" and it makes you wonder. I mean, there are people who have escaped, knowing they no home, who are willing to volunteer, but people can't be bothered to buy a case of water that could save the lives of people in their own state, in their own country? �Sundays at the BLVD BY SHELLY MONROE Pride Staff Writer "Champagne mimosas brunch served at The BLVD in San Marcos?" Exactly what I said when I stumbled across the club's ad for The Sunday Brunch Buffet. Though skeptical, I was very interested in trying it. I'm sure you have either heard about or experienced first hand The BLVD's nightlife, but unlike other nightspots they have much more to offer than just the typical bar scene. Lively or relaxed, The BLVD is the perfect place to mark a special occasion with family or friends. When I entered, I was greeted by an employee and told I could sit anywhere. I took notice of the interior - a casual and student-friendly sports bar. If you're a sports fan, The BLVD showcases 17 televisions with a variety of athletics going nonstop to keep you updated with current scores. The BLVD Sunday brunch offers eggs, bacon, sausage, fried chicken, biscuits and gravy, beans and cheese, spaghetti and of course cheesy potatoes. On the fresher side of things crab claws, shrimp, bagels, muffins, and fresh green salad were available. To top it all off, the omelets were amazing. Made to your personal liking, your choice of fillings include: mushrooms, bacon, jalapenos, cheese, onions, and pretty much anything else you can think of. Next to the omelet grill was the meat carving station - they offered prime rib and pork roast ready to slice and serve. The BLVD's Sunday brunch offers several different breakfast and lunch dishes, you'll be sure not to go home hungry. The service was outstanding and the entire staff was attentive to my needs with down to earth friendly attitudes. The nice thing about branching at The BLVD is it's not one of those upscale brunches at the Four Seasons that you have to dress up for. You can actually wear jeans and hang with yourfriendswatching sports while enjoying a delicious breakfast/lunch. The BLVD Sunday brunch costs $17.95 but students receive $5 off with a student I.D. You can't beat $12.95 for the endless food and champagne that is served along with great service. I encourage everyone to stumble out of bed after your crazy Saturday night of f un and try the BLVD's excellent champagne mimosa Sunday brunch. All American Rejects rock Westfield mall BY BRYAN MASON Pride Staff Writer On Saturday Sept. 17, in the parking lot of their Escondido mall branch, Nordstrom's hosted a live performance by The All American Rejects. The gathering crowd was filled with die hard fans encouraging the band to grace the stage with their dreadful new songs and some more acceptable old material. The show lacked the a dvan- tages of ProTools sound equipment, leaving the lead singer desperate to hold notes he couldn't have reached if he'd sold his soul. Otherwise, the band has a decent place in the pop heart. Despite seeming to conform to Corporate America by playing at a huge mall, they tried (and failed) to retain a punk image. With the terrible riffs of new songs like "Dirty little Secret", the band follows the trends, pandering to high school girls. Stick- Image courtesy of Doghouse Records ing to their roots and making the album more about themselves would have been a good way to go, but oh well.

With a modest cast of 13 diversely talented members, the production may have been smallscale, but it demonstrated much heart and proves to have the ability to enhance the Visual and Performing Arts Department here at Cal State San Marcos. The musical, "Little Shop of Horrors" is a dark satire, based on a struggling urban flower shop that rises to the top with the fame of its resident, the exotic maneating plant. As the story grows, so does the plant, becoming more and more demanding of its appetite for human blood. "Little Shop of Horrors" is an odd but extraordinary story, "filled with many strange and unusual events " This Cal State San Marcos rendition is original its own unique ways. Much applause is given to lead actress/director, Noelle Marie Kerr for her powerful vocals and her skilled craftsmanship in stage makeup. In addition to the stage talent, the musical had its own four-piece house band. Yet another notable attribute about this cast was their improvisation ability, that was highly acclaimed by its audience. "It was wickedly funny and well performed. Even in the midst of technical difficulties when the character Audrey got her microphone caught on a prop, the cast quickly adapted to the scene modification," said, Cassie Johnson after the Sunday, September 11th performance. Pumped full of quick-witted humor, "Little Shop of Horrors" was full of sarcasm and mockery. Comedy kept the audience on its toes adding elements of improvisation and personal style. From the moment the lights dimmed, the audience was well aware that this production would be anything but normal; "...please keep all hands and arms inside the auditorium..." This absurd humor carried throughout the production until the final scene when a captive audience member soon became the next helping of plant-food. If you missed this musical, you clearly missed out on some great entertainment for less than the cost of lunch. The cast and crew of "Little Shop of Horrors" are all members of the CSUSM Take Stage Ensemble; a theatrical group of students, alumni, and local musical theater performers. Bravo to the "Little Shop of Horrors", a job well done. �Z A i OC E & J_y THE PRIDE Spice it u p w ith P epper BY HEATHER ZEMAN Pride Staff Writer "Why don't you have some dirty hot sex with me?" To some of you this verse from the popular Pepper song "Give It Up" is all too familiar, but maybe a shock to others. Let me tell you, after attending Pepper's performance at the San Diego House of Blues on Friday evening, it is safe to say that the Pepper phenomenon is growing. I was first introduced to Pepper a few years ago while living in Hawaii. The boys that make up the band originated from Kona, Hawaii. I was curious to find out more about this band that was being echoed through every surf shop from downtown Waikiki to the North Shore. With a Sublime-like edge, and catchy lyrics, it wasn't long before Pepper made waves not only in Hawaii but all across the mainland as well. I've followed Pepper's tour throughout southern California over the past couple years. They've played at various venues such as Squid Joe's in Carlsbad and Canes' Bar and Grill in Mission Bay. They had previously been on tour with bands such as Slightly Stoopid and have even made appearances at the Vans Warped Tour and San Diego's Street Scene. Last night was a long show for Pepper. Instead playing one show that night for the traditional 21 and over crowd they normally perform for, they played two I shows in one night so that they could reach the underage crowd as well. The all ages show started at 6:30 p.m. and the 21 and over show began at 10:30 p.m. A reggae band from Australia called The Beautiful Girls opened up both shows of the night for Pepper. While I did witness some traditional blunt passing at last night's show and the typical drunk antics that go along with a 21 and up crowd, there was a whole new episode I had not previously witnessed at a Pepper show and that was the mosh pits. Possibly due to the fact that Pepper is now reaching a whole new type of fans or maybe the fact that their newest CD "In With the Old" featured a few songs with hard rock. The whole idea of moshing at a Pepper show caught me by surprise and it persisted for most of the event. I even witnessed a few people trying to crowd surf, but it didn't last long. All in all, Pepper put on a phenomenal show. I was even more impressed by thé fact that it was the second show of the night and I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. They played for almost a solid two hours. The venuefinallyclosed down at about 1:30 a.m. Being their last show in Southern California for some time, I was stoked to be a part of it. Pepper is currently heading to Phoenix, AZ and then they are making their way to Australia with Unwritten Law.

L �Gage at mrar with himself ' Lord of W ar' movie review BY ALFRED CHU Pride Staff Writer "Lord of War" chronicles the life of Yuri Orlov (Nicolas Cage), a cocky international arms dealer with charm similar to Frank Sinatra. The movie begins when Orlov sold his first Uzi. His notorious reputation begins to rise with a constant chase by Interpol agent Jack Valentine (Ethan Hawk). "Lord of War" chronicles the life of this arms dealer, including the money he made, his wife (Bridget Moynahan) and his drug induced younger brother Vitaly Orlov (Jared Leto) and his eventual capture. Written and directed and by AndrewNiccol, the movie delivers an i ntriguing sense of satire. On occasion, you can't help but to laugh, grin or even be surprised by how the satire dictates itself. Yuri states he won't sell guns to Bin Laden because his checks always bounce. The trailer proudly displays a voice over by Cage stating "Say what you want about warlords and dictators, they always pay their bills on time." Or after his capture, Yuri still continues to do what he does best and by the way, loves. And to top it off, one of the closing captions state five of the permanent countries in the U.N. Security Council are also the biggest suppliers of guns throughout the world Unfortunately, Niccol doesn't seem to know how to develop his characters. Valentine, Fontaine, scenes and sequences as if they were commercials. In the end, it wouldn't have mattered if they were in the movie or Yuri's life at all. It's surprising to note this because Niccol's reputation as a writer ("The Truman Show," "The Terminal") is worthy but as a director is not as prominent as a writer. A movie such as this always brings up, directly or indirectly, the politics behind it. In this case, it is international gun control. V "Lord ofWar" shows two sides of Orlov's conflict. He desires to make a profit while knowing that his product kills innocent lives. With minimal character development, "Lord of War" displays this conflict in a satiric outlook. Nine Inch Neils broken' but., to return BY AMIRA EL-KHAOULI Special to The Pride What an unbelievable tease! Everyone who went to the Autolux/Queens of the Stone Age/Nine Inch Nails (NIN) show last Friday must have had such mixed feelings of awe and disappointment. The show was cancelled half-way through NIN's set and rescheduled for November 20. How do I feel about this? Well, the feeling is much like a premature ejaculation. I got a little bit of a taste with the 20 or so minutes that NIN played and when they had to stop, I was highly disappointed. But then again, there is always next time. First up was Autolux, a Los Angeles trio consisting of singer/ bassist Eugene Goreshter, guitarist/vocalist Greg Edwards and drummer/vocalist Carla Azar. Adding Autolux to the line-up instantly transformed the band from playing at clubs to arenas. You can be sure that when this tour is over we will continue to see much more from them, as touring with NIN has added a huge feather to their cap. Next was Queens of the Stone Age, an obvious crowd pleaser as they played many of their latest hits, including "Little Sister" and "In My Head." The group includes singer/guitarist Josh Homme, drummer Alfredo Hernandez, bassist Nick Oliveri and guitarist/keyboardist Dave Catching. I must note that Josh was quite hilarious with his welcome commentary throughout the show. He even picked on an audiencemember who flipped him off during his set by saying that earlier he was sucking...well, I'm sure you get the picture. Although Queens of the Stone Age put on a riveting performance opening for NIN the audience was getting antsy, wanting Trent Reznor and the rest of NIN to play as soon as possible. For all those who do not know, NIN currently consists of singer/ guitarist Michael Trent Reznor, drummer Jerome Dillon, guitarist Robin Finck, keyboardist James Wooley and bassist Danny Lohner. The crowd erupted as soon Image courtesy of Interscope Records as the slightest moving shadow behind the see-through screen remotely resembled the image of Reznor. When the band started playing they received an enthusiastic welcome. This was their third show in San Diego this summer alone. NIN's appeal is partially the emotion that they put into their songs, even a song as sexual and crass as "Closer," and partially the antics that went on, which displays their industrial roots. An amp was knocked over, a microphone stand was tossed away like a rag doll, and Reznor squirted the remnants of a water bottle into the audience as he held it near his crotch. The concert came to an unscheduled end when Dillon was escorted away in an ambulance after he complained of chest pains. What I wouldn't give to be a patient at that hospital. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Because of our new track, the university could host an event such as the Cougar Chase, a fivekilometer course to either walk or run. Mazario Romaro, a San Marcos resident, won the 5K race. His running time was 14:55. When asked about the race he said, "It was a fun course and I loved the race." He said that he could have run a longer race in San Diego, but he chose to support CSUSM. Romaro trained for the Cougar Chase by running fifty tofifty-fivemiles per week.

The planners failed to take into account another important local community function scheduled for the same day—Escondido's Grape Day Parade, an event that drew thousands, While the lawn area just outside University Hall was occupied by more entertainers than spectators, the downtown area of Escondido was filled with people, leading many to the conclusion that it wasn't just the weather that kept people away A woeful turnout marred last Saturday's Tenth Anniversary Open House. The campus was blighted by cloudy skies, the threat of a few raindrops, and a minuscule number of people in attendance. Joyfully decorated tents housed local community organizations, food vendors, and several stages from which music and dance were performed. Unfortunately, the aromatic smell of food, the sound of music, and the sight of skilled dancers tickled the senses of far too few. what the beauty of the Spanish language means to him, "[It is] the way it is used by its people." As the late afternoon approached, and the few people who were in attendance began to leave, the blues sounds of Jimmy and Jeannie Cheatham and the Sweet Baby Blues Band played several pieces. Finally, an early dusk fell over the almost vacant lawn as the Latin Jazz sounds of Poncho Sanchez and his Latin Jazz Band played to close what should have been a grand event for the campus and the community. ?s Finishing second with a time of 15:00, was the head coach Steve Scott.

SANDAG allocated the partial state funding for the project, CSUSM and the City of San Marcos lobbied for the additional funds to get the improvements done, Cal Trans set the scheduling, Weir Construction will build the bridges and freeway ramps, and the utility companies like Vallecitos Water District, San Diego Gas and Electric, and Cox Cable are all involved in various steps of the project. "It's like a marriage," said Valdez, "You have your good days and you have your bad days... but it all works out in the end." He added, "those guys at Cal Trans are some pretty sharp cats." road approaching the 78 funneled into one lane. Marie Stewart, Program Director for he ASI CSUSM Early Learning Center, had a front row seat for the inaction. "Pretty much the first day of classes we went out and—boom--saw one lane." Members of the CSUSM community who utilize the center's child care facilities were forced to avoid the traffic by parking at the neighboring Power Surge Cafe and then walking their children the remaining yards to the center along the sidewalk adjacent to the traffic. Commuters who use Twin Oaks Valley Road as their vital link to the freeway system felt the first three weeks of September creep along at a snail's pace when the section of Fortunately that has all changed, albeit temporarily. The barriers have recently rescinded and the turn lane for east-bound 78 has been re-opened. Earlier, when the lane closure caused the traffic to be at its. worst, Russell Decker, CSUSM's Director of Planning, _ Design and Construction, voiced the complaints of the university to the officials at the City of San Marcos. Decker refused to take credit for re-opening the road, saying simply, "I just added our names to the list of complaints already fielded by Cal Trans and the City of San Marcos." Decker emphasized that the University and the City of San Marcos "have a fantastic relationship; couldn't be better," adding that he and Alan Schuler, the city's Chief Engineer, hold two or three informal meetings a month just to keep each other informed of the rapid growth of the university and its host city. f PAUL BLANCHARD / The Pride �Dear Editors: Thank you for printing Ramon Nava s letter. It is very important to have this discussion about the Tukwut. Our campus needs to seriously question whether or not it is performing an act of cultural insensitivity. ? If there is no guilt on the part of our university, fine. Then only an explanation is owed to the students about why we were kept in the dark about the mascot's previous name. However, if our university is found guilty of cultural insensitivity, then we need to know who wanted the change in mascot, why they wanted it, and how they went about their agenda for change. Most importantly, we need to know why the wonderful, culturally relevant story behind the Tukwut was kept a secret from the students both before and during the election. Maybe it is the case that whoever wanted the mascot changed simply was not aware of the Tukwut's significance. Wouldn't they then be innocent? No, just guilty of something else—not' taking our student elections seriousi. y If someone puts an issue on the ballot without carefully investigating its meaning and history, then s/he is sloppy or crafty. Either way, the person is assuming that the students aren't critical enough to eventually realize what has been done. Either way, they are assuming that students will not hold them accountable. Either way, they are assuming that students will not demand an explanation. Hmmm. . .our university's elections are sounding more and more like our state elections! Remember Prop. 209? There have been stories that the Tukwut (pronounced 'tookwoot) is indeed too difficult to pronounce. I don't buy that. I don't think pronouncing Tukwut is any bit as difficult as, say, getting across that bridge on Twin Oaks Valley Road. Orfindinga parking space here. Or being able to quickly get all the resources we need from our huge library's collection. No, I don't think that Tukwut is too difficult for CSUSM students to pronounce. Anyone who believes that it is too difficult for us is greatly underestimating our abilities. Another rumor I have heard floating around is that we had to change our mascot, for marketability. After all, we have a growing sports program to consider now, and it just won't do to have Tukwut as our mascot. We must change it to something more marketable. That way we can sell more shirts and cups and then be: why does our mascot have to be an American/English word in order for it to be tough or powerful? Isn't a mountain lion just as powerful, tough and admirable if it is named in American English or Luiseno? Don't get me wrong. I believe To say that it isn't would be very that sports programs are one of much in the tradition of our the best things that have hap- country's role as colonizer. pened to our school for a long time.

Dear Editors: From the car to class to the car, CSUSM's dilemma: WHERE is the campus community? Dear Editors: This university has become known for its use of groups, such as the Senior Experience program, to educate and expand the minds and views of its students. Additionally, the university also promotes diversity and acceptance regardless of race, gender, or religion by allowing the presence of the many different clubs on campus. With the passing of the fee referendum, the InterClub Council will have a I am delighted to see that you are speaking out about the torture that occurs at CSUSM. I have been a student enough years to truly experience the meaning behind CSUS&M. I have found it very frustrating dealing with the poorly planned and managed systems, such as admissions and parking, that plague students every day. It has come to the point that I will ask different people, who work for CSUS&M, the same question to attempt to get to the truth. Usually the third time around proves to be somewhat correct. It is also a shame that the administration at Cal State San Marcos does not fully appreciate and utilize the talented staff that work for them. There are some of the brightest and innovative people working for them, who could easily improve things, and yet they are not used. I think it is time that the administration realizes that what students encounter on a daily basis is ****. Without a good interface with the student, there might as well be no University at all. Keep up the good work. Keep telling the truth. Matt Thomas Dear Editors: The administration of this school ponders this very question as you read this article. Why is it that there is no "community" feel to this campus? The same reasons why a student can sit in a class with another student for three semesters and never know their name. We are a microwave generation not willing to learn or explore inner insights if it isn't warmed and consumed within fifteen minutes. What ever happened to achieving higher education for self-betterment? We moan and complain about diversity being pushed, about the writing requirements, about the students, about the smart system, about the parking, and the not-so-predictable Dome food. Too lazy to meet someone new, but plenty of zeal to cry and whimper about how the professor was not clear. To say this lightly, we the students could care less about the school or about each other. We respond to this dilemma with a smug, "it is a commuter school." We the commuters are through with any personal growth or sharing of our lives with people. We are older and wiser, so our redneckism is too late in its diagnosis to heal. We want our degrees and our money so we can get the respect and the brand new bigger than ever "Expedition." Leave the people-loving, tree-hugging, open-minded liberals up North in the Bay area where they belong. The only thing diverse we want is our wardrobe from "Nordstroms." JJPatmon Dear Editors, My name is La Brace Eaton II and I am the manager of Cougar's Corner Convenience on the CSUSM campus. I am writing to you in regards to your distasteful cartoon that ran in the September 20th copy of your newspaper. The newspaper is referred to as the "Pride," yet showed no pride whatsoever in CSUSM by running that disrespectful comic. I am unsure what the point was of running such a cartoon in the school newspaper. The cartoon in essence may have been funny to some people, but is it really the message you want to send to students, facultypand community at CSUSM? Being funny doesn't make it right. I hope that in the future you at the Pride show a little bit more pride and respect for your school and not print such filth.

PAUL BLANCHARD / The Pride "Cheering is not about wearing a skirt," stressed Coach Groom. "If you come to my practice, expect to work hard. It's going to be very, very physical." Coach Groom, a three-time Collegiate National Champion in multiple divisions, brings ten years of cheering experience. He has been a member of two of the three "power-house" schools in Collegiate Cheering: Morehead State University and University of Louisville in Kentucky. Groom has also coached high school cheer squads to National Championship titles. Groom's interest in cheering began after a shoulder injury temporarily sidelined his football career. In college he realized he wasn't big enough to play college football and found his athleticism challenged through cheering. "Some of the best guys [on the squads] comefroma football program," said Groom, emphasizing that cheering is not a girl-only sport. "Ideally we'd like to have at least 10 guys on the squad." Only three males attended the meeting. instant recall Advisor Heckman served as Cheer Squad Advisor for TRACK continued from page 1 was a IK race held for children ages twelve and under. There were approximately forty children in the race, including a ten-month-old baby who peacefully slept on his mother's chest while she walked the two laps for him.

The plaque was a thank-you for his enormous generosity and support for the CSUSM track facility, Mangrum was so touched by the sentiment that tears came to his eyes.

Words fail me, seeming contrived. Affection such as holding, kissing, or making love is only the beginning of the depths of what I know to be inside me for the object of my thoughts. The feelings, longings, desires, need, respect, admiration, devotion and want for the person I hold dear would make them, for lack of a better term, happier about themselves. To realize, for better or worse, someone cared and wished only the best, yet these declarations may be overwhelming by the sheer intensity and appear trivialized to what is in my heart. I believe we all withhold our true selvesfromone another on many levels in many ways, but would hope somewhere, somehow to make the connection - and make it in a positive, meaningful, and profound way. Give me a way, a method, the words, for I am at a loss and my beloved deserves true kinship. Sign me, "Sincerely Sincere" Dear Sincerely Poetic, I was greatly entranced by your message, as I feel akin to this experience of longing. I doubt anyone can satisfactorily answer your question, so I will be bound to provide only my opinions. First, I don't think that there qEfte ffirtbe Arts & Entertainment is one sole best way to express intimacy. Not only do people find intimacy in different experiences, but also at different times, intimacy can be appreciated in different ways. This is what I like to refer to as the emotional-cognitive dance between humans. Finding that experience whereby both (or more) can be absorbed in the feeling of intimacy is quite special and not easy to discover. For instance, your loved one may not be "in the mood" for intimacy in any form. Remember, I am not talking about mere physical affection and sex here. Even words may fall on deaf ears sometimes. Hie ultimate act of intimacy is to understand the other in their place at that moment. Just knowing that the other is not open to that intimacy at that time is an act of intimacy on your part. Words are contrived, but what isn't? Words are symbolic and since our minds are representational, words can be a great means to achieving an end. Even when sex is used as a form of intimacy it is dependent upon the people to see it as such. We are frequently mistaken to assume that physical affection is the pinnacle of intimacy. For a porn star, sex is a job; for a writer, words can be just work; for a psychologist listening is a career; for a chef, cooking is a profession. It is the intention behind these behaviors which makes them intimate. Here again, you must think of the other: does the person resemble the adorer of Cyrano or Annie Sprinkle. Some people are more affected by words than others and you need to know this to know if words will be effective. Actions can also be powerfully intimate. I have had friends do little things/favors for me (from their own volition) which I found incredibly intimate, especially when the favor arrives at just the right moment. These actions can be deeply intimate. Find out these things and perhaps you can express your intimacy in that way. If the other is open and experimental enough, you may approach the situation as a regular negotiation. Approach the person saying you'd like to experience this intimacy and see if you can both devise a way to put each other "in the mood." This may likewise be contrived, but it might just work! You might be thinking that some of these "methods" seem too one-sided and self-contained. Well, unfortunately, that will be mostly true. You see, I understand your desire to commune with someone in such a way that your experiences meld into one. As if you were the same, sharing perspectives, thoughts, and emotions. Oh how I wish this could be true! Sadly, our ability to imagine beyond our capacities often leads us to feeling empty andfrustrated.If this is the connection that you wish for, I can say it will exist mostly in your imagination. Our thoughts are usually fragmented See FAIRY pg. 6 by Cindy Tagliapietra Ifyou could change anything in the cafeteria what would it be? Reviewed by: Cynthia C. Woodward • ^^ Quirky character study meets Disney magic in Touchstone Pictures' Mumford. A quirky story line, wonderful cameo performances, and surprising movie-within-a-movie camera work saves Mumford from the sugary bog of boy-meets-girl Hollywood movies. For the cynical, I've-seen-'em-all moviegoer, who still has a sneaking love for feel-good movies and happy endings, Mumford works. The movie works best when it appeals to the voyeur in all of us. Dr. Mumford (Loren Dean) is a psychologist. His patients troop in and out of his office, always more than willing to tell him the intimate details of their secret lives. As Dr. Mumford gets to know his patients, so does the viewer, From the sleazy small time lawyer (Martin Short), to the how-did-I-get-so-rich-and-famous modem mogul (David Paymer), the characters reveal themselves with both hilarious and touching results. Part of the fun is the viewer's (and Dr. Mumford's) realization that keeping and telling secrets is what being human is all about. Hie cast gives remarkable performances across the board; not one character rings untrue. Not surprisingly, Martin Short turns a stock sleazy-lawyer character into a brilliantly funny cameo. More surprising, perhaps, is the equally brilliant performance by Ted Danson, who gives new meaning to the word "jerk" (replace with any applicable synonym). Other good performances include Alfre Woodard as the understanding neighbor with secret yearnings, and Mary McDonnell as the unfulfilled wife and mother. The movie does have some shortcomings. One almost isn't a shortcoming at all. The characters are so interesting, and the performances so good, that you are left wanting more. The other problem is more serious. Mumford's charms include a distinctive story line and out-of-the-ordinary film sequences. Both give way to a conventional, Disney-style wrap up at the end. Nevertheless, I recommend Mumford. Even cynics like me enjoy a good boymeets-girl movie now and then on Date Night. Rated "R" for language and sexual situations. Lettau Dazzles in Noontime Concert June Hodges PRIDE STAFF WRITER Jazz/Brazilian singer Kevyn Lettau wowed both followers and newcomers alike with her unique range of vocal renditions during a noon concert on the Dome patio area on Tuesday, September 21,1999. Lettau was accompanied by Peter Sprague, renowned writer, teacher, and recording guitarist, Bob Magnusson on the bass, and Duncan Moore on the drums. Raised in Germany by her single mother, Lettau left home at the age of fifteen and set out to make her fortune. While supporting herself by cleaning houses, she discovered the singing voice that would someday make her one of the most recognized stylists in the jazz world. Her style comesfroman exposure to the works of Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, A1 Jarreau, Charlie Parker, Donny Hathaway, and other great recording artists. She assimilated the inventions of jazz improvisation into a vocal approach that was pure, soulful, and uniquely her own. After touring and recording with Sergio Merides for eight years, Lettau incorporated Brazilian sounds into her contemporary pop singing and set out on her solo career. While she has won critical acclaim for her records and albums in the United States and abrpad, she has almost reached superstar status in Japan and the Philippines. She says of her work, "Every record is different, because I am always growing, expanding and changing."

BROTHERHOOD ON CAMPUS Victoria B. Segall Adra Hallford PRIDE WRITER STAFF PRIDE WRITER STAFF ...Such is the advice of Mary Atkins, the CSUSM Instructional Computing Labs Coordinator. Computing is an essential of scholarship at this university, though when a paper is due in 15 minutes, the computer cannot read the disk, and the pay-forprint station won't work, it's easy to feel like life itself hangs in the balance. Being acquainted with the computing labs may offset this stress and save your grades. According to Ms. Atkins, knowing what labs are available and when labs are busy can give students a measure of computing safety. Often students visit the main computer lab in ACD 202, see that all of these computers are taken, and walk away. They do not realizing that the nearly 100 computers in ACD 202 and ACD 204 represent less than a 1/4 of the 439 machines available to students!

Someone who encouraged you when you were feeling not your best? Someone, who doesn't necessarily give you answers, but heads you down the right road to finding them? Someone who is present when you need them, if only to sit and chat, or do nothing at all? Here at CSUSM I am fortunate to have such a person in my life. Her name is Dr. Cynthia Chavez Metoyer (Pronounced MET-TOY-YAY, its French). As part of the Faculty Mentoring Program here at CSUSM, Dr. Metoyer has been a mentor to many students since coming on board in 1994. She was initially recruited by two of • •- her students her very first semester here. Because of the natural mentoring relationship that had begun between them, they requested that she become part of the formal program. Dr. Metoyer agreed and has been doing it ever since. Each semester, students who are accepted into the program are assigned a mentor. Throughout the school year the relationship may take on many different characteristics. Some proteges only seek out their mentors for academic advisement, some for counseling and support, and still others develop friendships that continue well after graduating, from CSUSM.

The program offers various events, lectures, and social gatherings for the mentors and proteges to attend. In Greek mythology, Mentor was Odysseus' trusted friend and counselor, and his son Telemachus' teacher, advisor, and surrogate father. He provided the boy with guidance, support and love. The mentoring program here at CSUSM believes that mentors are an important factor in the student's success. Designed to increase the retention of students, who may be at risk of dropping out of the university, it seeks out low income and first generation S ee MENTOR p g. 7 When you hear the words "Greek Life," what images come to mind? Do you picture scenes from "Animal House," like John Belushi in a toga, chugging a beer? Or are you completely oblivious to fraternities and couldn't care less about GreekLife on campus? Either way, you should be a little curious because members of these clubs may be your close friends, students in your classes, or future co-workers. Would you ever guess that Troy Aikman and President William McKinley were Sigma Alpha Epsilon brothers, or that Elvis and Ronald Reagan were Tau Kappa Epsilon brothers? Here on campus the presence of Greek organizations, academic and social, are steadily growing and attracting many students. American students were the creators of the first Greek-Letter Fraternities. It all began when the Declaration of Independence was introduced to America in 1776. Revolutionary ideas began to spread like wildfire across America and many college students wished to discuss revolutionary ideas. However, because of British rule, such discussions were prohibited. As a result, college students created the first fraternities in America where college students were able to discuss revolutionary ideas in secrecy. Some of the secrecy in the fraternities included secret handshakes, oaths, and Greek mottoes. Centuries have passed, and now the numbers of fraternities have spread to more than sixty fraternities over sixty colleges in the U.S. and Canada (Delta Sigma Phi National Manual). Of the 60 colleges in the U.S. and Canada, CSUSM is one of the campuses that have academic and social Greek organizations. The academic honor societies deal with students who have excelled in areas that deal with their majors. For example, PSI CHI, one of many honor societies on The men interested in joining campus, is an honor society with one of the two social fraternities an emphasis on psychology. take part in "Rush Week."

Dean has obtained two jobs through networking in the year-and-a-half that h^ has been in SAE. Companies like Pepsi, Coca-Cola, and UPS have presidents and CEOs* who were fraternity brothers. As a result, many of the present members can benefit by acquiring well paying jobs when they join fraternities. http://www.personallaserclinic.com i iyk&Mtm pwgmmtt . It i$ no secret that there are stereotypes surrounding fraternities and sororities. For example, fraternity members may be referred to as "party animals," "keggers," or have other labels. However, is that really what fraternities are about? Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) and Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE) are two of the social fraternities on campus that promote brotherhood and philanthropy. It turns out that one of the primary reasons men join SAE and TKE on campus are for the friendships. Many people enter CSUSM not knowing anyone. So SAE and TKE fraternity members take the initiative to recruit incoming freshmen and other men to join their fraternities. For example, Charles Matanane, a sophomore, has been a member of SAE for two years and says, "When I came here, I didn't know much of anybody, now I've got 50 people that I know." Juan "Buddha" Ibarra, also a sophomore, has been a member of TKE for two years and recalls when the TKEs introduced themselves to him as a freshman: "TKEs seemed excited about me, really friendly, really outgoing, but they also stressed a lot of brotherhood. I saw what they did, I saw how close they were to each other, and I really liked that whole family thing."

The the CSUSM Open House show encore was .made without music helped enhance an already festive with the dancers using only their mood. Leiana Naholowaa Perhaps the premature expectations I built before seeing this film caused such deep disappointment. Lucie Aubrac turned out to be everything you would be looking for in a yuppie movie and nothing that truly captures, for me, the emotions of a time period. Based on a true story, Lucie Aubrac takes the viewer on a soap opera history lesson of World War II France. Fans of French film might remember its writer/director Claude Berri who directed such films as Germinal, Jean de Florette, and Manon des Sources (Manon of the Springs). With Berri once again is Daniel Auteuil ('Raymond'), who had played Ugolin in Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources. But how can a film based on one woman's autobiographical account go so wrong? The key lies at the beginning of the movie, before the stunt show action begins. A message flashes that the following is based on a true story but for the purpose of dramatic effect, da, da, da, certain liberties have been taken, or something like that. I call it a yuppie film because it's a little bit more than a Date Movie in that it contains noble elements that both guys and chicks would totally appreciate. The violent action scenes are fantastic. Lucie Aubrac begins with a spectacular explosion and ends with a sappy romantic happy ending—whoops, sorry to kill the ending for you, but it's as if Berri hunted down something so formulaic. There's plenty of melodrama and prison beatings to go around, to be sure, that would entice any movie fan out th^re. But jumping out of your seat and racing to, the door for sprpe fresh air as sqon as The End finally arrives has always physically Been a bad sign. Don't get me wrong. Everyone sees things differently, and so perhaps you may find Carole Bouquet's performance as 'Lucie' quite convincing. No rating system—this film opened Friday, September 24, at Landmark's Hillcrest Cinemas— which you have to admit, is at least one good sign.

Under the baton of Robert Gilson, the orchestra's Music Director, aspiring musicians from the crowd had an opportunity to conduct the ninety-piece orchestra as well as 'sit in' with the players of the different instruments. Those who participated received helpful hints from the director and proved to be good sports even though they weren't too sure about their ability to conduct. The fear and trepidation of the volunteers was felt by the mem- bers of the good-natured audience who could only imagine how scary it would be to stand on the podium infrontof 90 pairs of well-trained eyes. Dr. Merryl Goldberg originated the fun idea. The orchestra has provided orchestral training to young, gifted musicians for more than forty years. Affiliated with Palomar College and the Community Music School at SDSU, the orchestra holds rehearsals in San Diego, South Bay, and North County to provide access for all San Diego youngsters. The Orchestra has toured Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. JUNE HODGES / The Pride (ACCESS), "There's a very high dropout rate. We're trying to open their eyes to the opportunities they can have if they stay in school and do well." The program will gather approximately 100 students from local reservations and from urban environments. They will hear presentations on how to apply to college, what the college experience is like and learn skills that make the path to success in college easier. The program is intended to encourage the students to attend college, whether at CSUSM or another institution.

"I'll tell them how important it is that everyone become educated so we will be able to stand up for our tribes.

This discussion then becomes entirely philosophical and I won't go there now. So, you may come to those random moments when you are "in synchrony" with the other, but that is about as amazing as it gets. We are limited, always. (Some people go into trances/rituals or use drugs to try to get beyond these limitations, however.) Don't despise your limitations because there is nothing you can really do about it. You need to try to work with those limits and find out how you can best stimulate that synchrony of thought and emotion between you and your loved one. There isn't a specific formula; it depends on the person AND the time whether intimacy will be found in actions, conversations, or kisses. Finding this will reside in understanding the person. This lucky person for whom you care so deeply must be understood as (s)he is in that moment. This will take great awareness, compassion, and openness. My sincerest hopes go to you infindingthat intimacy and enrichment that you dearly seek. .

As president of SAE, Dean also says, "We need to look good on campus, because right off the bat a lot of people have negative stereotypes about fraternities." Many fraternities have been viewed as negative institutions in the past. News coverage of Scott Krueger, the MIT freshman student who died last September because of alcohol poisoning when he rushed the Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity, brought much controversy. Even though SAE and TKE say that hazing does not occur in their fraternities, breaking down stereotypes of social fraternity life is a problem. One TKE brother admits that there may be members who could work on their maturity level and that they could take on more responsibilities. However, the majority of the brothers is mature and responsible and does believe in the brotherhood and philanthropy that theirfraternitiesstand for. "If you go into any group of guys, you're going to have a few you're not going to like. But to knock down the whole fraternity because of one person just isn't right," says Mike. The fraternity members do admit that they party,' they are social organizations, but they also say there is a lot more to their fraternities than just partying, like the community work they do. TKE brother, Mike, says that his favorite TKE volunteer activity is "I'm Going To College," an event that takes place every semester with ASI. In this event fourthgraders from schools all across San Diego County have the chance to visit the University campus. Last year the kids played with the computers, sat in police cars, sang songs with TKE brothers, and engaged in many other activities. The whole goal is for these children to catch a glimpse into college life, in hopes that they will take the initiative and go to college when they are older. The TKEs also helped out with Special Olympics and the "Child Trot." SAE has also done its share of community service, like tutoring at a charter school in Oceanside, canned-food drives for the holidays, holding book bags every year for the Campus Book Store, and fundraisers for St. Claire's Battered Women's Shelter in Escondido. Some of the other volunteer services that both fraternities share include cleaning up the Early Learning Center, and tutoring at San Marcos Middle School and High filfe MENTOR continued pg. 5 college students for placement in the program. Dr. Metoyer says, "A student is going to stay because they feel they are connected here.. .a place where they not only get their degree, but if there are bumps along the way, they have a person they can turn to." My own experience has given me a sense of belonging here. I do feel connected. I encourage all students, even those who may not School. It turns out that there may be more to the fraternity brothers than the stereotypical images portrayed in movies and the media. They are not solely about partying and socializing; they are also about community service and creating a sense of brotherhood on campus. Buddha, a literature and writing major, has some advice for people who may stereotype fraternities, "Don't have preconceived notions. A lot of people are like, 'You're just a frat guy, you're just a frat guy.' No—I'm somebody's brother." fit the criteria for the Faculty Mentoring Program, to seek out a Mentor.

In a few weeks, procrastinators will flood into the library fran­ tically searching for useful information. However, the stress of these last-minute searches does not need to be as harried. With planning and a little aid from the library, students can make research work much easier. This semester, the library has implemented a new program which provides students with computer assistants. These assistants circu­ late among the library’s computer terminals helping students. The aides can explain how to maneuver through the numerous databases and direct students to the proper database for their subject. Carolyn Batisto, one of the computer assistants, explained that most stu­ dents have limited time for research and need to get their information as quickly as they can. Assistant Holly Korotie said that many students may feel hesitant toask for their help wanting “to figure it out for themselves.” She added that most students have a grasp on the basics of the system, but that sometimes they need help directing their search. Batisto said that the Computer Assistants specifically look for students who have generated large search fields. When assistants see this situation, they know they can help the student by nar­ rowing down the subject. By introducing the student to the use of Boolean strategies, which combine key search terms, a smaller and more precise search can be conducted. The student can save valuable time and get specifically requested information. While most students are grateful for the assistants’ aid, Batisto said the library can provide additional service which can expe­ dite research. Students can set up a private appointment with a reference librarian to work only on their research paper. A form describing the topic, and its due date, is submitted to the reference librarian who can prepare to help the student. This personal­ ized service can be especially helpful to students with a difficult topic, or those un­ familiar or uncomfortable with library re­ search. Research takes time, but planning can make the process less painful. Choosing a quieter library time makes the work easier. Batisto said that the busiest library times are noon on Mondays and Wednesdays, early mornings, or after 8 PM. By avoiding these hectic hours, students will find more avail­ able computers and assistants. While many students will continue to procrastinate, they can at least be assured that when they do begin their research, they can find help at the library.

By Roy Latas Staff Writer Students who undergo the rigors of aca­ demic life are constantly looking for inex­ pensive ways to relax. Free activities usu­ ally focus on the enjoyment of nature. A walk through a park or trip to the beach provide a break from suburban student life. However, in our metropolitan area, a trip to the beach may be hazardous to your health. The beach closures we experienced dur­ ing last year’srainy season are symptomatic of a problem called non-point source pollu­ tion. This problem stems from the small but constant dripping of motor oil from cars, the careless dropping of cigarette butts, pet fe­ ces, and run-off of fertilizer and insecticides from the fields of North County. These pollutants collect in storm drains and dry river beds awaiting the flush of the winter rain that will wash this unhealthy mixture to the beaches. The storm water receives no treatment at our sewage plants, so the storm water with its unknown composition of pol­ lutants empties into local rivers and la­ goons. It passes through the complex storm water drainage system, eventually draining into the ocean through pipes that usually sit directly on the sand. Controlling all forms of water pollution Photo/Mary Szterpakiewicz was the intent of the Clean Water Act (CWA). The CWA originated in 1972 with the intent of making U.S. coastal and inland waters “fishable and swimmable.” The main focus of the Clean Water Act was to stop industrial pollution, and to that end, there has been The FDA Wants to Take Your Vitamins Away C A T k o lic Men, P o N d eR iN q By Mary Szterpakiewicz Editor-in-Chief Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) recently pro­ posed a bill, S-784, The Dietary Supple­ ment, Health, and Education Act to launch a counterattack against the FDA’s proposed regulations that would make high potency vitamins and minerals available only through prescription. Sen. Hatch stated the goal of his bill was, "to make sure that our system encourages all people to choose what they want from life. And in order to choose what they want from life there has to be that essential respect for the individual and for the individual’s freedom and inde­ pendence to direct his or her own life." "The FDA frankly believes that they know best. They know what is good for you. You can quit thinking for yourselves substantial progress. The CWA is currently undergoing re-au­ thorization. Every five years, Congress must evaluate the CWA, yet current conditions which are the product of the CWA are not very encouraging. The CWA represents the only legislation that protects the water, and it needs to be strengthened during the current 1993-94 congressional session. Congressman Oberstar has sponsored a bill (HR-2543) that will create a national plan to identify non-point pollution sources and make watershed districts like our Regional Water Quality Control Board (Region 9), develop a comprehensive plan to mitigate the impact of on-point source pollution. The bill allows the pollution problems to be rectified within a flexible framework allowing the various parts of the country to respond to the problems by a means best suited to the area. Senators Max Baucus and John Chafee head the the Environment and Public Works Committee and will be responsible for writ­ ing the new Clean Water Act. Norman Minetta will be writing the House version. You can show your support by writing to Congress­ men Baucus, Chafee and Minetta as well as to your own representatives, urging them to support this bill. A short letter or postcard with a picture of a beach you would like to protect would send a strong message. The bill is expected to be voted on in midNovember. The full Clean Water Act will not be voted on until Spring. now," said Hatch. Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw (re­ nowned scientists and authors of Life Extensions who advanced the free radi­ cal theory on aging) are also actively opposing some 2,000pages of new regu­ lations the FDA wants to impose on the health food industry. These are due to go into effect before year end. The FDA’s motivation? One reason given was found in one of their own reports which states that FDA approval of vitamins and nutritional supplements would inhibit the development of pre­ scription drugs. You can support Sen. Hatch’s Bill by writing your Congress­ men and Senators urging them to vote for passage of S-784. Y o u r F u tu re ?

G R O U P "THOMAStsTfiAt/D * YOU EVERWONDER. WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT ? n Conformity is the jailer offreedom and the enemy of growth. John F. Kennedy —- �A Letterfrom the ! Uumni /■ Association A look into the life of recent grad By Amy Glaspey Staff Writer It’s nine months before you graduate. Never mind your midterms, have you sent out your resumes and filled up your rolodex yet? Jim Kuhl, CSUSM Class of ’92 and current Alumni President, sent out over 100 resumes prior to graduating with an accounting degree. Kuhl began his job search in 1991 by making contacts and “getting to know people.” Kuhl landed one of his top two job choices just six months after gradua­ tion. He is now a tax auditor with The State Board of Equalization. Kuhl attributes his success in this rough marketplace to perserverance. “I just kept pounding them,” Kuhl said. He bombarded his new employer with a dozen follow-up phone calls and letters. The most significant activity Kuhl was involved in was the Accounting Society. Meeting with community members and networking with busi­ nesses and firms gave him career focus. “Once I found direction, my job search was much easier,” said Kuhl. The competition was tough. Tight alumni groups like San Diego State University graduates like to hire their own. One employer candidly told a CSUSM graduate, “we tend to hire SDSU alumni, and I don’t see that changing.” Prospective employers tend to be skeptical about our new univer­ sity. “They just do not know about our programs,” Kuhl said. Consequently, Kuhl’s personal goal as Alumni President is to build public interest in the university by organizing communityaimed events. “Alumni are a natural bridge be­ tween the community and the univer­ sity,” said Kuhl. “Building community interest is the most important thing.” Not that Kuhl would mind generat­ ing some financial support for CSUSM as well. According to Kuhl, universi­ ties nationwide obtain 83% of their budgets from private donations. In contrast, the California State University system averages 13% of its budget coming from private donations. Kuhl would love to narrow the gap. Long-term goals for Kuhl include “keeping people involved with the development of the university” and establishing an alumni database so that “20-30 years from now, we could tap that resource.” Today, the economy of California faces its most challenging times since the Great Depression. This is particularly true in the days preceding the seemingly inevitable NAFTA agreement. While numerous variables have affected California’s ability to remain a leading global competitor, one competitive advantage has always remained constant: our educated work force. The CSU system has been instrumental in providing higher education. We graduate more college students than all other California institutions of higher learning combined. For the past several years, we’ve been doing more with less. To sustain any further budget reductions would undoubtedly threaten our most valuable competitive advantage. On November 2,1993, voters will consider Proposi­ tion 172, a proposal to make permanent an extra cents sales tax that was imposed in conjunction with the State Temporary Tax Increase of 1-1/4% which went into effect on July 15,1991. This measure was intended to balance the state budget and solve its temporary budget crisis, with a 1/2% rollback to be effective July 1,1993. How­ ever, the severity and length of the recession were unforeseen by even the most pessimistic economists. Due to the prolonged reces­ sions, Governor Wilson temporarily extended the measure through the end of the calendar year. The proceeds of this tax are to be devoted to local public safety functions. This in turn will offer state policy makers an opportunity to invest other state revenues in other high priority areas, particularly higher education. What difference can a s % 2 / 1ales tax increase make? San Diego imposed its own 1/2% tax increase from January 1,1989, through February 14,1992. In just over three years, it produced nearly $400 million in revenue. Statewide, such a program could generate in excess of $2 billion annually, or approximately 3.5% of the entire annual State budget. The CSU system is imperative to the competitive advantage o f California, which is something all of us have a vested interest in. This is not an issue impaired by special interest groups, but all who value the future of our State. With voter turnout anticipated to be low, your support is crucial. Let’s all come together and vote YES on 172! James Kuhl, President CSUSM Alumni Association �YOUNAME IT / FRIDAY, OCTOBER22, 1993--------------------------- C S m p U S C I U b S “ Creeks Get Opposition to Halloween Bash By Amy Glaspey Staff Writer At a university that promotes cultural diversity, it still may be acceptable to discriminate against the Greeks. Kappa Chi Omega, Phi Delta Delta, Teke and Sigma Phi Delta want to enhance school spirit by hosting an open Halloween party on campus in the Dome. Personality conflicts and stereotypes within the InterClub Council have tarnished the Greek’s chances for approval. The Greeks submitted a proposal to the Director of Student activities in accordance with the Interim Alcohol Regulations of CSUSM pending final approval by the President’s office. They were prepared to meet the following criteria: — To abide by University, federal and state regulations regarding school alcohol use and distribution. —-To ensure the sale or distribution of alcohol to individuals over 21 years of age. — To provide a non-alcoholic beverage alternative. —To provide food to all in attendance at the event. — To accept responsibility for any and all damages incurred during the activity and to provide restitution for damages. — To maintain behavior and activities appropriate for a University setting. — To provide personnel to clean up and restore the facility to its original condition immediately following the close of the event. The Greeks are also prepared to fund the event out of their own budgets. When in­ formed that the InterClub Council (ICC) pro­ vides supplementary funding for certain events, the Greeks presented their party pro­ posal at the March 9th ICC Meeting. Shortly after their presentation, the ICC motioned to deny support to any activity where alcohol is served. A source within the Greek organizations said that the ICC “ste­ reotyped” the Halloween bash as a "wild beer party with kegs on every comer.” The ICC remains strangely silent on the issue. Matthew McNamara, ICC President, repeatedly refused to comment on the par­ ticulars of the debate. When asked the ICC’s stance on alcohol-related events he replied, “I will not answer your questions.” The Greeks returned to the Director of Student Activities and met with a different reception. It is rumored.that the President’s office hesitated to give its approval to a func- A source within the Greek organizations said that the ICC "stereotyped" the Halloween bash as a "wild beer party with kegs on every comer:" tion that was rejected by the ICC. Although Bridget Bailey-Meiers, according to a Greek source, remains supportive and helpful, new provisions were added to the Interim Alcohol Regulations. The President’s office now claims that the Dome is not conducive for dancing due to hazards created when the lights are dimmed. In addition, the Greeks must hire a school provided set and disassemble crew, a school approved carpet cleaner and security guards. The Greeks are committed to hosting Interested in Politics? —This By Elena Weissman Contributing Writer Rumor has it that the formation of a political science organization is under­ way. Guess what? It’s true. This university has reached the stage where students have a real need for a Political Science Association (PSA). At this moment, students are forming a club to arouse an interest in politics and campus affairs. We have the full support of the faculty who are very enthused about the establishment of this club. Everyone has an opportunity to become involved in the planning stages of the PSA. We will structure this organization so that it has a life which lasts long after we have graduated from CSUSM. Don’t let the name of the club avert your interest. It is definitely something club p W lT liS e S C O n tW V e rS y that is open to ALL students. It is for everyone who is interested in current events. Your party affiliation, be it Republican, Democrat; Libertarian or Green, etc., is not relevant. A variety of opinions will only make it more interesting. If you ever wanted to participate in a discussion about the current state of politics or felt you would like to express an opinion but did not feel that you were informed, then this is the place for you. If your ambition is to become politically active, this could be your start. We will network for job opportunities, have political debates, learn about institu­ tions of higher education, and instill a sense of community involvement. We look forward to sponsoring speakers, political forums and other such activities. We could impact this university by creating a campus that will allow students to voice their concerns and problems with campus policies. We aim to provide assistance in the development of curriculum in the Political Science Department. It has been suggested that a student advisory board to the department be established. To keep up on the latest developments in the department, membership in the Political Science Association would be invaluable. The PSA could be the most dynamic organization on campus, but we cannot do this without the support of our students.

They have resubmitted their proposal to the President’s office highlighting the fact that they’ve already secured a dance floor (to protect the carpet) and are willing to work with the lighting issue. A source within the Greek organizations said that there was a dance party in the Dome last year. The source wonders if hazards witnessed last year give credence to the lighting issue. If so, the organizations are willing to add new lights under a tarp and provide extra lighting in the restrooms.

Well, before you become completely overwhelmed by deadlines and due dates, consider this: the fact that you’re attending this university speaks highly of the kind of person you are. Against all odds, you’ve managed to remain in school and are on a path toward a more enriching life than the trail you’ve left behind. If your midterm grades did not meet your expectations, you’re not alone. We’re all in this together, so we need to look to each other for support. Keep in mind that even though it may carry a substantial amount of weight, a mid­ term is, by no means, a final grade. There are still ways to rectify any obstacles in the way of a satisfying grade. Get phone numbers. That way, if you should happen to miss a class you will be able to get the notes you need. Also, do the group thing. You will find that studying in groups is easier than studying alone. You will be able to enhance social as well as study skills. In the process, you may start a network of acquaintances that will provide mutually beneficial contacts that may extend beyond your college years. Remember that professors look at the overall efforts of each student through­ out the semester. Steadily working in manageable bits day-by-day requires courage and tenacity. At times, your hard work may not seem to be ac­ knowledged. Indeed, genius often goes unrecognized. Make your efforts known. Take advantage of your instuctors’ office hours. Don’t remain one in a sea of nameless faces in a classroom. Get to know your instructor and make sure he or she knows who you are and the pains you are taking to make certain of a positive outcome. They are there to offer assistance if you are having difficulties with their courses and they appreciate feedback on their effective­ ness. Don’t hesitate to ask questions. You’re paying good money to get your education, so you may as well use all resources that are available to you. There is help, if you need it. While you’re at it, you may want to check out the Student Resource Center in room 5205 in the Administration Building. They offer video and audio tapes, selfhelp materials and a directory, support groups, study skill info, computer assistance software, workshops, program info, community referrals and many other services. The sacrifices and hardships that you encounter now, will only make you a stronger person. Perseverance will pay off in whatever your endeavor after graduation and beyond. - Take deep breaths - Get*enough sleep - Go for long walks - UJatch a sunset - G e t Some exercise - Go for a bike ride - Take up goga - E a t balanced meals - Ruoid caffeine jJtrime Management, Studying Math, CASSI (Computer Assisted Study ■ ■ ■ M ftk ilfe Instructions) is available fb*»i|udents to u s e . ,' ' ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ pp h sp r^ ^ ^ (|^ €^ ;R esoiU ^ 0;; ;iCeiitei; Craven (Do you Write (Prose, Poetry or ffictionP..... ..............................

Every group and individual is represented at Cal State San Marcos, and the admin­ istration is quick to recognize the importance of that kind of inclusion. The faculty likewise dedicates a great deal of coursework to issues of multicultural-ism and appreciating diversity, as our global awareness requirements attest. Many students feel that such attention to these kinds of issues is excessive and ultimately distracting to their true educational goals. The grousing is subtle but ever present. Multiculturalism is the educational trend of the day, but is the student backlash growing? The conservative furor over the nationwide spectre of politically correct speech codes on college campuses has not found its way to pastoral San Marcos. Neither, for the most part, has political correctness itself. The best thing about the organiza­ tional makeup of our school is that clubs promoting ethnic diversity and party-driven sororities and fraternities can exist side by side. No view is shut out and all voices are given an opportunity to be heard. But are these divergent voices sinking in? For all the rhetoric about the value of a well-rounded, liberal education, many college students check in for years merely to do the necessary time that will help them get a good job. Multiculturalism is an abstraction to those who have no interest in expanding their educational horizons. Fortunately, that is not the usual case amongst the CSUSM student body. With an average student age of 29 and a collection of only juniors and seniors, we are lucky enough to be amidst generally mature, analytical classmates with open minds: Furthermore, in a demographically complex and ever-shifting California, multiculturalism is not an administratively imposed intellectual abstraction but rather a vital, everyday reality. Tolerating and appreciating cultures other than your own is the necessary end of education in this commu­ nity. That is a reality we hope every student will come to terms with during their stay. |a te of And far too touch of it is spent either op inexcus­ able, worthless pursuit|§rdn shameless pbilSlrrel pfoprams that serve no other purpdfe than to guarantee Members of Cphgress’ re-electijp, like: 3 * $5 millioii from the US defense bud­ g e t^ bwld a building for an independent country in the Pacific j§§ean that b e lW p i^ th e British Comh fteealth of Nations. puf tax dollars is spent ; ^ |^ ^ ;to i^ ^ |p iF lic ers,:.Pentagon bu­ reaucrats and their plfense contractor guests can spend their afternoons playdreaming up toore ways to spend taxpaprSb-mOnevi^ ^ ^ ^ ^ B fjjgSource: Citizens Alternative Press Offers A Dose of Free Speech By Mary Szterpakiewicz Editor-in-Chief I read my first issue of Plan 9 — that alternative paper that no one sees, but everyone reads. Plan 9’s ideology states it is against force and violence of any sort for any reason. This philosophy is not new nor radical. "Educate, don’t legislate." I’m all for that. While Plan 9 is motivated for a number of reasons, at least it has the right idea. Ever wonder why major papers and networks look alike and report the same stories? Some 1,800 newspapers nationwide are owned and controlled by fewer than 20 conglomerates. San Diego's Copley Newspapers, in addition to the San Diego Union-Tribune, own and operate 9 dailies, 36 week­ lies and 1 bi-weekly newspaper. The Hearst Corpo­ ration owns 12 dailies, 5 weeklies and 14 maga­ zines. Alternative newspapers and media offer quite a different view of what is painted on this morning’s headlines or tonight’s evening news. Waco, for example, was treated quite differently by the alternative press. The official mainstream media version painted the portrait of a maniacal cult. The alternative media gave a story of FBI agents overly eager to do what was right. Despite pleas from the Waco compound to bring in the press, the request fell on deaf ears. The Branch Davidians' First Amendment rights to free speech and freedom of religion were ignored. Mainstream media failed to go in and report their side of the story and failed to interview survivors. It took Lloyd Bensten several months after an exten­ sive official investigation (more tax dollars well spent) to find out the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Fire­ arms (BATF) lied. The alternative press held this view right from the beginning, while it failed to get the attention of the major networks and mainstream papers. It is encouraging to see alternative newspapers, many self-published like Plan 9, Espresso, the Lib­ erty Bell, and the Coastal Post in Marin County, dare to speak their mind. We find too little actual freedom o f speech going on these days—like an animal on the brink of extinction. The polished look of the major media has effectively hypnotized millions of little brains with its repeat message “be good little sheep.” Alternative papers offer a dose of free speech, a commodity which seems to be dwindling right be­ fore our eyes. �Why Yes on 174 Freedom to choose is one of our nation’s founding principles. Choice in education is no different. Neither the California nor U.S. Constitutions state that your child must attend a public (gov­ ernment) school. Parents have the right to send their child to a school of their choosing, not the government’s choos­ ing. Prop. 174 gives them that choice without having to pay twice. Public schools receive funding based on attendance. Fewer bodies, less fund­ ing. Prop. 174 would provide incentive to make government schools more com­ petitive with private schools, ultimately benefitting the child. The voucher pro­ gram in Milwaukee is a huge success with more parental involvement, better attendance and marked improvement in the children’s performance, not to men­ tion safer schools. A Cambridge Univer­ sity study showed government schools (K-12) spend approximately $6,000 per student, twice the amount spent by pri­ vate schools. Most of the money ends up in the pockets of bureaucrats and politi­ cians, not in your child’s classroom. The savings to taxpapyers in the longrun is in excess of $7.6 billion by 2000. The voucher system would slow down demand to build more public schools. California taxpayers cannot be burdened with more taxes in an economy that is already the worst in the nation. In a university such as this, I am told that appreciation of diversity is a goal. It is strikingly odd that homogeneity of education, not diversity of views, is what proponents of Prop. 174 seek. Govern­ ment schools create more government sheep. Diversity of education would guarantee that no one view would pre­ vail. Prop. 174, while not the perfect an­ swer, since government strings are still attached, is a step in the right direction.

Already plagued by an effective tax rate of 61% (income tax, property tax, sales tax etc.), California taxpayers should not be asked to pay more. Instead, government should be made more accountable and less wasteful. Government should take a lesson from private enterprise. In a bearish economy such as this, the private sector is sizing down, becoming more efficient. So too, government efficiency and accountability should be the priority, not raising taxes. The most recent 1/2 cent sales tax was unlawfully collected. The State conve­ niently forgot to get the required number of votes. Until three Libertarians took the matter to court and won, the State had collected some $300 million dollars of taxpayer money illegally. Give the government more of your money—not a wise idea. a " 5! Prop. 172 wants to raise the sales tax another half cent. 60,000 Jobs have been lost in San Diego County alone because of the state of the economy. High taxes, over-regulation and an excessive government waste and corruption are to blame. Californians cannot afford another tax. Every halfcent sales tax increase started as an emergency. In time, politicians always found excuses to make these temporary "emergency" taxes a permanent fixture. Taxes have never produced the intended results. Tax money spent on welfare only increased the amount of welfare recipients. Tax money spent fighting the war on drugs has neither diminished the supply nor the demand for illegal drugs. The more tax money spent on public education, the worse its gets and so on. President Clinton admitted when questioned by a San Diegan that the _ �Disenchanted Moviegoers Tend to Stay at Home By Peter Gorwin Critic-At-Large Theater chains pull good movies in favor of running poor movies. Such management decisions ultimately alienate discerning patrons who choose to seek alternatives at their local video stores. It would seem that the upper echelon management of these big chains isn’t interested in maintaining an audience of discerning viewers. They run movies which have the strongest public appeal, a simple case of supply and demand. If longer-running movies lack any artistic merit, management will tell you that the public has been to blame for not patronizing the better movies. These big chains play games with their movies, similar to the ratings games which T.V. broadcasting companies have been playing with viewers for years. Increasingly, the declining ambience of these theaters has begun to alienate demanding viewers also. For example, one might naively think exorbitant box office prices would ensure a respite from invasive commercials, but often viewers are bombarded with a cavalcade of local advertisement which flash on the screen long before the feature begins. Theater owners will tell you that they barely can make ends meet, and that they need the added revenue from these local advertisers to grease their wheels. Demanding suburban viewers may hate the way the size of their viewing screen has decreased with the completion of each new theater complex. Some of these viewers remember a time when they could escape their weekly worries by watching a feature on a sweeping, panoramic screen. In justifying the reduced size of their theater screens, large theater chains point to the high cost of real estate which has forced them to optimize their space; smaller screens enable them to run their movies simultaneously, increasing their revenue. Nonetheless, smaller screens will prove to be a monumental blunder as television resolution begins to eclipse the images seen on theater screens: film buffs won’t want to go to watch a small screen at a theater with poor ambience, when they can rent a movie for their sharp screens at home. The issue of ambience brings us to what may best be described as the ignoramus problem, people who have never learned the proper etiquette for watching a movie. After nicely asking a talking ignoramus to be quiet with no significant satisfaction, some viewers would like to be able to find an usher to complain to, but there are usually none to be found. The management’s apparent reluctance to take a pro-active stance in this area again alienates the discerning viewer. After all, a good movie deserves the The 1Joy Luck Club" 1 —A Skillful Adaptation of Novel to Film By Thomas Lee Huntington Staff Writer Hollywood has discovered the literary world anew. Recent film adaptations of bestselling novels such as Jurassic Park, The Firm and Damage have inspired pro­ ducers and studio executives to head for their local bookstores in search of a quick buck. It is tempting to dismiss director Wayne Wang’s Joy Luck Club as just another example of the Hollywoodization of popular fiction. The bestselling novel by Amy Tan obviously created a strong base of fans and the complex, interwoven tale of Chinese mothers and daughters would be easy to turn into a crowd-pleasing, formulaic tear-jerker. Surprisingly, the filmakers have for the most part resisted the temptation to saccharize Tan’s rich book and have in turn produced an honest, if a bit flawed, film. The skill of Tan’s novel was in the for­ mat—a loosely connected series of recollec­ tions and memories by a circle of Chinese same attention as a good book. Even the sloppy projection of a movie may alienate discerning viewers. At certain theaters, the person hired to run the projector seems to have been carefully chosen for his adeptness at throwing the projector out of focus or focusing the film so that the image overlaps the screen by a couple of feet. Patrons pay to see the entire frame, not part of it. this also places the viewer in the bind of missing part of the film while they run out to the lobby to complain to a manager who also can never be found. Where do these managers and ushers hide? Personally, I look forward to the year 2020 when we will be watching movies on theater screens the size of postage stamps and paying forty dollars to get in. It will be obligatory for the film to be projected slightly out of focus, and there will be forty-five minutes of commercials before the feature even begins. Everyone will engage in loud and active conversation throughout the entire feature. Nobody will care about watching the film anyway because every movie that these big chains run will be just plain awful. And by this time, all of the small theater owners who used to take some pride in the movies they ran will have been put out of business —- a sad day for the purists who used to love going to the movies. mothers and daughters. Each character's mys­ tery and history is slowly peeled back through the course of the narrative, ultimately reveal­ ing a rich mosaic of loss and regret and beauty and strength. The miscommunication and generation gaps that plague the mother-daugh­ ter relationships are slowly patched but never truly resoved. The novel’s structure is almost impossble to translate to the screen, but Tan and coscreenwriter Ronald Bass make a valiant ef­ fort. There is a heavy use of flashback and voice-over narration and director Wang does a skillful job of weaving in and out among the various stories with little confusion. But film is a fundamentally different medium than literature, and the loose structure that Tan employed so skillfully is not quite as power­ ful here. The language of the book was a significant part of it’s beauty, and despite the extensive narration, that effect is lost in film. That said, the film is quite successful on its own terms. The stories are told slowly and with great respect for the audience. Nothing is quick or easy, and the perfor­ mances by the mostly unknown cast bring out the sadness and beauty of the charac­ ters. The heartbreaking and magical stories are for the most part not played for easy sentiment or quick tears. In that respect, Tan and Wang have abandoned the easy, sentimental route to box office success and preserved the dignity and power of the �Mose Allison in Concert October 24 Mose Allison, the legendary Missis­ sippi Delta blues singer, songwriter, and pianist, will give two concerts on the CSUSM campus as part of its Arts and Lectures Series. Mose will per­ form songs from his 20 albums which span 50 years, including his Grammywinning album, Ever Since the World Ended. Mose John Allison, Jr. was bom in 1927 on the Mississippi Delta. He received piano lessons as a small child, but quit as soon as he discovered he could play by ear. He played tmmpet in marching and dance bands and started making up his own songs. In the early 1960s, as the Mose Allison Trio began to get more work, he found that writing his own songs was essential both as a means of expression, and as a practical matter of expanding his repertoire. His music was inspired by listening to old pop tunes, country and western songs, and composers like Bartok, Ives, Hindemith, and Ruggles. The process of fusing these diverse elements into a cohesive performance continues today. Meanwhile, Mose re­ corded more than 20 albums; performed all over the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia and wrote about 100 songs. Some of these songs were recorded by The Who, The Clash, The Yardbirds, Bonnie Raitt, Van Morrison, and oth­ ers. His album, Lessons in Living, was nominated for a Grammy in 1983, and Ever Since the World Ended won a Grammy in 1989. Concerts will be in Academic Hall, Room 102 on Sunday, Oct. 24 at 3 PM and 5 PM. Admission will be $3 for CSUSM students and $5 for general admission. Tickets may be purchased at the CSUSM bookstore, or by calling the bookstore at 752-4730.

Many people are rediscovering these estab­ lishments and filling them to capacity eve­ nings and weekends. During the late 1950s and early 1960s, coffeehouses were an im­ portant element of the Beat Generation, a counter-cultural movement that began dur­ ing this era. The renewed interest in aspects of counterculture has also been reflected here at CSUSM. This fall, the history de­ partment offered an unusual class studying the counterculture movements of Beats, Hippies, and Punks. This class examines the radical counterculture movements that oc­ curred in the United States following WWII. Professor Jill Watts, who teaches His­ tory 430C, created this class based on previ­ ous students’ ideas and interests. While teaching a general history course, she dis­ covered that her students became veiy inter­ ested in the small amounts of American counterculture she included. Students wanted to know more about these move­ ments and what happened to them. Watts developed the class to answer these questions and fulfill CSUSM’s requirements of race, class and gender. She acknowledged that CSUSM encourages the development of new classes that explore unanswered ques­ tions. While other campuses may offer classes that examine Beats and Hippies, this class is unique because it links the Punk movement with the two earlier groups and establishes the connection between all three. American counterculture emerged after WWII as America marched into the Cold War under the cloud of McCarthyism. The chilling prospects of a devastating nuclear war seemed imminent. However, a rebellion against these conditions began to develop in the 1950s led by writers Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, and William Burroughs. Known as the Beat Generation, these writers confronted the conformist and militaristic attitude they perceived dominated American society. As popular culture began to develop an interest in the Beat Generation, or what they By Thomas Lee Huntington Staff Writer The burgeoning coffeehouse culture has left hardly a street comer untouched. Previously bland and conservative communities have been invaded by pseudo avant-garde, cutting edge caffeine shelters for disaffected middle-class teenagers who need a place to sulk and show off their flannels and tattoos. In the face of a Java invasion that can leave one swearing off cappuccino forever, the Hill Street Coffeehouse stands out as an espresso oasis. Positioned unassumingly in the middle of Oceanside’s notorious Hill Street, the yellow termed “beatniks,” the counterculture move­ ment spun into a new form of rebellion. The Hippies emerged in the 1960s operating with a different style, but still rejecting main­ stream American society. Watts claims that the rebellion apparent in the Beats and Hip­ pies was also apparent in the Punk movement of the early 1980s. Like many previous students, CSUSM stu­ dents find Watts’ class on counterculture interesting. Kathleen Rohan, one of her students, said, “This class interested me because I never knew anything about those groups.” Many students remember the stereotypical beatnik portrayed by Maynard G. Krebs in “Dobie Gillis.” This image contrasts sharply with the individuals studied in Watts’ class. Rohan observed, “In thattime period,Ididn’trealize there were people out there confronting is­ sues so harshly.” Professor Watts says that while the study of counterculture provides important insight into post WWH American society, it also is quite relevant to contemporary society. Watts Victorian style house at first seems out of place. Once inside the coffeehouse gates, however, it’s like a different world. It may seem a contradiction, then, that anybody would choose to open up a cafe appeal­ ing to customers seeking conversation and relaxation in such an area. Hill Street has long been associated with prostitution and crime, and the city’s recent redevelopment efforts have had little success in changing that image. In a strange way, though, it all works. The coffee­ house provides a kind of escape for anyone looking f ora break away from the grunge and grime of the world outside, and in turn the peacefulness of the environment inside makes one look at Hill Street in a different light. It certainly is the last place anybody would expect to find a haven for culture, and in many ways that surprise is what gives this coffeehouse its charm. There is an engaging, literate feel to the coffee shop that is conducive to both intelligent discussion and quiet studying. The academic environment is said, “We are coming off the 1980s, a time of materialism and conformity.” The 1990s are proving to be quite different. Watts added that the new generation faces job scarcity and limited mobility. These condi­ tions have led to the disenchantment of many American youths. Rohan echoed this feeling. “People are looking and question­ ing the government and society’s values. They’re wondering if we’re doing the right thing.” Counterculture can be disturbing; it op­ poses conventional society. However, the renewed interest in these movements may reveal a type of admiration. As Rohan stated, “I kind of envy the beats, hippies and punks, and the way they could go to the extreme.” The members involved in coun­ terculture were not afraid to speak out against the accepted system. The courage to freely express oneself earns some measure of re­ spect. most intense duringthe daytime hours when t establishment is less populated. Weekend nights tend to bring an invasion of high school kids and other such cretins looking fora cool place to hang out, but the ambiance is still pleasant. The White Out, a palette pleasing blend of espresso, hazelnut flavoring and white hot chocolate is the hottest ticket on the menu. New Zealand Sunnyslopes tea is also recommended. Musicians often perform weekends on the pleasant back patio and the works of local artists decorate the walls. It is especially pleasing to see this kind of dedication to the local art scene in the face of the increasing commercialization of the coffeehouse Zeitgeist. Mike and Ross, the owners of the coffeehouse, are obviously not in this busi­ ness to exploit a trend and make a fast buck. They are genuinely friendly people who care about the state of their community and have provided that community with a welcome boost. �S TILL NEED F I N A N C I A L A I D ?
