DIGGING FOR GOLD IN JULIAN
The small North County town blossoms
into apple season during the month of October. The High Peaks and Eagle mines, located in the eastern section of town, are
explored. Tours of the mines offer an historical perspective of how gold was extracted from the mountains during a time
when gold fever reached epidemic proportions.

Student starts campus club
Fulfilling the college's goal to obtain an international perspective, 11
students atCal State San Marcos have
banded together to form Rotaract, a
club with a mission to "install friendship and mutual understanding between races of the world."
Rotaract, a multinational organization under the Rotary club, can be
found in over 100 countries with ova*
4,000 charters, says Nnambdi Nnoli,
the club's organizer.
Nnoli, a CSUSM student, is a native of Nigeria who came to America
to live with his family. He says in
Nigeria alone there are 232 Rotaract
charters. The United States only has
91-95 Rotaract charters.
"Rotaract is very big and powerful
in Nigeria," Nnoli says. He adds that
the current chairman of Rotary International is now trying establish more
clubs in the U.S.
He says Rotary organs in Nigeria
helped to raise funds for polio vaccinations and other public services.
The club could bring career speakers to campus while establishing scholarships and participating in community projects, says Nnoli.
In the past three meetings, Rotaract
members discussed career opportunities and gave career presentations.
Even though the college has not as

Before being formally received by

"We need funding to get supplies,

they need greater membership to be

out the club needs from IS to 25

When she came to Cal State San
Marcos in September of 1989,
Marion Reid was faced with the
immense task of starting a college
research library, that would grow well
into the next century.
It is a chore of Herculean proportions.
Choosing volumes needed for an
academic core is an arduous, complicated process.
'We not only want to provide a
good core, but buy informational
services from other places,"Reid says.
To help begin the process of selecting a solid foundation of volumes for
an academic core, Reid turned to the
work of Melvin J. Voigt.
Voigt was instrumental in establishing the libraries at the University
of California at Irvine, Santa Cruz
and San Diego. The Association of
College Research Libraries refined
and published Voigt's findings in a
book entitled, "Books for College
Libraries." The book lists the top
50,000 volumes needed to start an
academic core.
Even though the book is in its third
printing, Reid says many of the vol-
college library opens in 1992. She
also says the list does not encompass
every academic discipline.
According to Reid, some academic
disciplines have accreditation agencies that list appropriate books for
certain specialities. She says CSUSM
will draw from these sources as well
as Voigt's findings.
Book vendors are also used to secure titles for college library topics.
"We're building a profile of how
books for a college library should
look," says Reid.
This year the college budget allots
$2.1 million in funding for the acquisition of books for the library. Reid
says next year's budget should be a
similar amount.
"It may sound like a large figure,
but it isn't in terms of starting an
opening day collection," says Reid.
According to Reid, the average cost
for a domestic title is $46 per book.
Reference books, science and art titles
usually run more adds Reid.
To help in the process of figuring
out how and where to purchase books,
the university has selected the services of the Oregon-based Academic
Book Center. The 15-year-old com-
pany was selected from a group of 11
vendors vying for the job.
Earlier this year, the college purchased a 13,000 volume collection
from the library of Charles D. Tensley. Tensley was a Professor of Philosophy, English and Chemistry at
the University of Illinois.
"He was a bookman who collected
for substance, not rarity," comments
Reid. She considers the$100,000price
tag for the books to be a good deal.
"If you can get $10 or less for a
book, i t's a bargain," she says.
Not all of the books in the Tensley
collection can be used, however. Some
have become too brittle with age to
place on the library's shelves.
Reid says the college also received
a 1,500 to 3,000 volume collection
from the library of T. Walter Walbank. Walbank was a professor emeritus at the University of Southern
California who collected books on
non-American history.
The collection was offered to other
universities with already established
libraries, but was turned down because they already had many of the
books contained in the collection.

that the college might back out of the

Until a library opens in 1992, volumes will be held in a storage and
processing facility located on campus. Already the facility contains
1,059 boxes of books waiting to be
sorted.
Reid says the process of building a
library will take decades. She speculates that the 400,000-square-foot
library in CSUSM's future might
contain as many as two million volumes.
"Academic libraries traditionally
don't stop growing," she says.
Apartfromobtaining volumes, Reid
is also searching for ways to build an
information network with other libraries and services.
Already an inter-library loan program has been implemented, allowing students to gain access to books
and journals contained in other librar-
ies.
The college is also looking into a
program, offered by the Colorado
Alliance ofResearch Libraries, where
students can gain indexes to over
10,000research journals. Reid says in
January of next year, the service will
make the full text of the journals
available.
Reid is also looking to build an
expansive, state-of-the-art data base.
Through computers, students will be
able to access in minutes, information
that could take hours to find. Students
will not be geographically excluded
from using the library.
"Students, who would like to access our data base from home, could
call up on the phone," Reid says.
CSUSM is currently in the process
of seeking librarians to assist Reid in
her task. Reid says she hopes the three
new librarians will arrive at the college sometime later this year, but sees
January of next year as a more realistic date.

Protection, respect
help in 'safer' sex
An area of preventative health that
is vitally important to college-age
persons is prevention of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and fflV
(Human Immuonodeficiency Virus/
AIDS).
A new phrase, "safe sex" has been
introduced into our vocabulary. The
phrase should actually be "safer sex"
because, as in birth control, only
abstinence is 100 percent safe.
Playing it safe doesn't mean eliminating sexual activity from your life.
It means self-respect and respect for
your partner, talking about sex and
talking honestly about your respective histories. It means knowing how
to protect yourself and taking precautions every time. It's what you do, not
who you are, that creates a risk for
sexually transmitted disease and you
can protect yourself by the precautions you take.
STDs are spread by infectious
microorganisms, such as bacteria,
viruses and parasites, moving from
one person to another. Most travel
only in certain body fluids such as
blood, semen and vaginal secretions.
Very few STDs can be transmitted in
saliva or by skin-to-skin contact.
Some STDs spread more easily than
others. You never become immune to
STDs. You can get reinfected and can
have more than one STD at that same
time. Some STDs show few or no
symptoms; many people are infected
and spread the microorganisms without knowing it.
Since there is no guarantee of "safe
sex" outside of sexual abstinence or a
mutually monogamous relationship
with an uninfected partner, to lessen
one's risk reduce the number of sex-

ual partners one has, always use condoms and be aware of the relative risk
of specific sexual practices.
Activities that involve direct exposure to a partner's semen, vaginal
secretions or blood are more risky.
For example, anal intercourse is associated with high risk of HIV infection. Vaginal intercourse can transmit
many STDs, including HIV, from a
man to a woman or a woman to a man.
Oral sex can transmit some other
STDs, but is considered moderately
risky. Intimate kissing is low-risk and
fantasy, touching massage and masturbation generally pose no risk.
When using condoms, to be effective they must be Latex, stay in place
during sexual activity, not break during use and be removed correctly.
Only water-based lubricants should
be used since Vaseline and various
lotions and oils weaken condoms.
Lubricants or condoms that contain
the spermicide called nonoxynol-9
provide additional protection against
HIV infection.
Lastly, sex under the influence of
alcohol or drugs, like driving under
the influence, is never safe.

George Steinbrenner and Jimmy the Greek will be forever
thrown up to the public as proof that professional sports won't
tolerate gambling, corruption or racism.

The other day I went searching for a new
National Cause. Sadly, I came up empty.
Our country's latest attempts at stirring up a
broad-based political quorum-the War on Drugs
and the MidEast Occupation-have fizzled. It's
time to admit why America's momentum is
staggering, and how wecan regain the greatness
that spills from the wake of a worthy and welltuned National Cause.
The War on Drugs is the Bush Administration's initial candidate for a viable National
Cause. Arguably, Mr. Bush has picked a good
target. Solving the drug crises is, after all, a
cause for everyone's well being. Furthermore,
no one stands to profit monetarily from stopping
the contraband trade; just the opposite, obviously.
Unfortunately, our government cannot "just
say ' no'" withastraightface.Thelegal trades of
cigarettes and alcohol are still far greater sources
of health destructiveness than illegal drugs.
Their duplicitous condemnation-and subsequent use as tax-revenue generators--is justified
by the very entrenchment we are told to loathe
(remember Prohibition?). Furthermore, the
tobacco industry-as an agricultural interest- is
actually subsidized with your tax dollars.
Rhetoric rings hollow in the face of hypocrisy. How does Uncle Sam expect to convert the
estimated millions of middle-American casual
drug users into nay-sayers while talking out of
both sides of his mouth?
Since this is the only "hot" domestic attempt
at a National Cause offered by the current
Administration, our foreign policy became my
next arena to search.
While Saddam Hussein is disdained by everyone, few are ready to lose their children for
this cause. Only the most myopic fringe of
conservatism still endorses the fallacy that
American foreign policy is a police-action paving
the way to a world of benevolent Democracies.

Hence, never mind that the emirates of

friendly to the United States. If you still doubt
this assessment, just reflect on the bungling,
inconsistent, and moralistic bamboozlement of

is a steady oil supply and a stable Middle East.

Time to ask, then, "What composes a great
National Cause?" Firstly to insure its nobility
and sturdiness, there can be no governmentoriginated hypocrisy, as isriddlingour War on
Drugs. Indeed, a divided house cannot stand.
Secondly, patriotism is not created by the
National Cause. In fact the relationship is the
opposite: many will boldly die to stop Hitler
because the ties to democratic preservation are
intrinsic. On the other hand, the increasing
public perception that we are still too dependent
on fossil fuels and foreign oil—despite a plethora of previous crises and warnings—undermines the drive to stop Iraq at any c ost
Simply put, we aren't out to stop aggression

EXPLORI
Julian mine
a reflection
of the past
LARRY B OISJOLIE/PI ON EER
The gold from fallen leaves covered
the ground below a soft-rolling mountain in Julian. But Billie Moran looked
beneath the fallen leaves to find more
valuable gold in the mountain itself.
Moran was the first to stake a gold
claim in Julian in 1872. Armed with a
pickax and a shovel he dug into the
mountain, hoping to strike a lucky vein
of gold. His legacy (known as the High
Peak and Eagle mines) still exists today,
although the mines themselves have long
been shut down.
The mines were closed during World
War II after the government proclaimed
them "unnecessary industry ."Today they
are open to public tours so visitors can
see for themselves how prospectors
mined the precious element years ago.
Contrary to popular belief, gold does
not run in copious veins throughout a
mountain. It'is not easily spotted or retrieved. Gold deposits are usually found
within veins of quartz.
According to Harlan Nelson, one of
the proprietors of the mine today, only
one ounce of gold (about the size of a
sugar cube) can be obtained from a full
ton of quartz-rich rock.
"Few people struck it rich in gold
mines," said Nelson. "Most barely made
enough to stay alive."
The Eagle mine was dug perpendicular to gold veins, with its opening at the
foot of the mountain. Using picks and
shovels, workers were only able to move
five feet per day. Tunnels were dug
upward so gravity would assist in clearing debris.
When a vein was intersected, miners
would then dig a "drift tunnel," a shaft
which followed the vein itself, until the
vein wasexhausted. Rock extracted from
the vein would then be carted out and
processed to separate the gold from useless rock.
As they moved deeper into the mountain, workers used explosives to burrow
further into the earth. Explosives inSEE MINES/PAGE 9

creased the progress of the miners by
six feet per day.
In the days ofMoran, fire blasting
was used to bore into the belly of the
mountain. To fire blast, miners heated
the rock until it was r edhot They then
poured cold water onto the rock,
causing an explosion. Workers then
cleared the debris and continued on.
Later homemade dynamite, made
from broom handles and gunpowder,
was inserted into hand-chiseled holes
in the mine's walls. This method was
replaced in the early 1900s with the
introduction of air drills.
To avoid the impact of the blasting, miners created cubby holes,
known as jump holes, in the cavernous passageways. After igniting the
charge, workers had only a matter of
minutes to di ve into the safety of these
jump holes in the lightless tunnels.
Nelson said that after the Civil
War, thousands of prospectors arrived
to California to strike it rich. Few
found enough gold to fill their teeth.
They worked the crowded tunnels of
the mines in teams of two to increase
production.
Rock that contained no gold was
used to fill empty space within the
mines themselves. This eliminated the
extra effort involved with carting the
debris to the surface.
As the miners bored deeper into
the mountain, any kind of vision
became impossible. Miners mounted
candles on felt hats and carried handheld lanterns to shed light on the black
tunnels.
"Sounds get amplified in absolute
darkness," said Nelson. "First you
hear a ringing sound; then you hear
your heartbeat; then you can hear the
blood rushing through your veins."
Nelson said that the breeze blowing into the tunnels from the entrance
would blow the candles out; so miners had to feel their ways into the
tunnel in absolute darkness until the
breeze subsided.
The Eagle and High Peak mines
together have 11 different mining
levels. A main shaft, which delved
450 feet into the earth, connected all
the levels. The lower five levels of the
mine dig beneath the natural water

level of the e§jth and are now completely flooded.
Ore would be pulled up the main
shaft by an engine-powered hoist in
buckets.
"Because it was so dark, miners
had to develop a system of communication. When it was time to raise the
bucket, workers would ring a bell
once. Two rings would indicate that
the bucket was being lowered," Nelson said.
v Ore was then loaded into carts and
transported out for separation. Each
cart held one complete ton of ore and
the miners were able to extract as
many as 10 carts of ore a day.
With only 10 ounces of gold per
day coming from the mines, workers
attracted to the task by 'gold fever'
found themselves disappointed.
"Occasionally ore would be found
that contained more gold powder than
usual. These finds were called glory
holes," Nelson said.
After leaving the mountain, the
ore was transported to a mill for separation. According to co-proprietor
Karl Nelson, the technology for separating gold was brought to the area by
Cornish tin miners, who were attracted
to the mines by gold fever.
The ore was placed into a mill
which pulverized the rock into a fine
d ust The crushed product was then
placed on a copper table. The table
was covered with a film of mercury,
whiph absorbed the powdered gold.
The mercury-gold mixture, or
emalgum, was then heated until the
mercury evaporated from the solution.
Not all the gold could be claimed
on the copper table, however. The
remainder of the ore was then put on
a shaker table. The shaker table separated the remainder of the gold by
gravity. The heavier element would
settle toward the bottom of the table
where it could be easily retrieved.
In later years, chemicals wpre used
to separate gold from the raw ore.
During World War II, the government closed down all gold mines in
the United States proclaiming them a
nonessential industry to the war effort. Workers moved from mining
and refining gold to industries conducive to the war effort. After the war,
mine owners found the cost of reopening those mines to be too prohibitive so most were closed down.
The process of tunnel-mining for
gold no longer exists in the United
States. Strip mining has now replaced
the ore retrieving process used by
prospectors of old. Whereas one
mountain constituted a claim in the
1800s, now whole ranges of mountains are leveled in search of gold.
"The old-fashioned way was much
more environmentally safe than the
new way "saidKarl Nelson "but that's
progress."
Whispering pines, chattering
squirrels, and nostalgic atmosphere
permeate the Pine Hills Lodge of
Julian. The two-story, wooden
lodge was built in 1912 by Real
Estate tycoons to attract buyers for
the adjacent Pine Hills subdivision.
Pine Hills Lodge is located just
one mile west of Julian on Highway 78 and then 2 1/2 miles south
on Pine Hills Road. Its location
allows guests easy access to all the
happenings around Julian, yet it is
far enough away to be able to take
full advantage of the rejuvenating
serenity that a visit to the mountain
demands.
Originally the outlying cabins
were built as tree houses. Unfortunately, the trees grew but the stairways didn't. The cabins, while not
firmly attached to the ground, radiate the warmth and charm one
would expect from secluded cabins in tHe woods.
There are 12 rboms in five cabins. Some are singles with an old
fashioned claw-foot tub, while
others are two room suites boasting native stone fireplaces. The
lodge itself has six additional
rooms. These rooms are available
on weekends only, and are Euro-
pean style (bath and toilet, down
the hall, last door on the left). The
rooms are priced from $50 to $75
on the weekdays and $50 to $125
on the weekends.
The lodge itself is saturated with
rustic charm. From the huge native
stonefireplacein the lobby to the
slightly shabby leather couches in
the western bar, Pine Hills Lodge
radiates a quiet, friendly atmosphere.
The dining room, which opens
on the lobby, and its massive fireplace, has two walls of windows
which allow a lovely tree top vista.
There is a homey atmosphere not
at all like the hustle and bustle of
the city's fine restaurants.
Hickory Smoked BarbecueBaby
Pork Back Ribs are a specialty of
the house. The average dinner costs
around $ 13. They are also famous
for their $11.95 Sunday Brunch
with an extensive selection of both
breakfast and dinner entrees, salads and fruits.
"It's sleepy here during the week
but quite chaotic during the weekends," said Dave Goodman, who
along with his wife Donna bought
the Pine Hills Lodge in 1979.
Part of the chaos is caused by
Dave himself, because in 1980 he

Gliding soars to adventure
A tow rope connects the singleengined plane to thefrontof the glider.
The plane's propellor whirs into
motion and pushes forward, pulling
the non-engined craft into the sky.
In no time the glider is exploring
the wild, blue yonder with nothing
but a cushion of air suspending it in
the sky. The thrill seeking experience
has begun.
Gliding in the Northeast County
skies is easy, enjoyable and relatively
inexpensive. All that is needed toenjoy
this soaring experience is a camera
and a strong spirit of adventure.
Thrill Seekers found a glider port
just 30 miles north of Julian outside
the little town of Warner Hot Springs.
For $34 a ticket, we sailed for 20
minutes to new heights of adventure.
We climbed aboard a glider
equipped to handle two passengers.
The seats appeared cramped, but were
cushioned and comfortable. Nylon
straps covering our shoulders and laps
held us firmly in place.
Our pilot, Lee Rabeneau, had been
flying gliders for the past nine years
and assured us he knew what he was
doing. In its 31 years of operation, the
Warner Springs Soaring School has
had no aerial accidents.
This fact was of little comfort as the
glider took off.
The initial take off was painless and
without drama. We were airborne
several seconds before even realizing
we were off the ground. This is due, in
part, to the silence afforded by a glider.
All we could hear was the distant hum
SEEKERS
of the plane 100 feet in front of us.
We ascended to a height of 3,000
feet above ground level before our
umbilical with the tow plane was
severed. At times we rose at a rate of
800 feet per minute. With every foot
of ascension the landscape below
blossomed out in a panorama of hills
and meadows.
As we rose to the release height, we
approached "No Name Mountain," a
pile of rock and dirt speckled with
pines and shrubs. The peak seemed so
near to the glider's canopy, we felt as
if we could touch its rocky landscape.
With a loud "crack" our towiine
was released, leaving us to glide on
our own. Upon release, the glider was
filled with a deafening quiet. Only the
faint whistle of air through a canopy
vent could be heard.
As the glider drifts through the sky,
every turbulent bump is amplified.
We reached speeds in excess of 70
miles per hour as we circled "No
Name Mountain."
"Now I'm going to make you
weightless," said Rabeneau. He
plunged the glider into a steep dive,
causing us to momentarily feel the
euphoria of weightlessness. The
whocp-dee-doog that turn in the stom-
ach during such a feat surpass the best
drops of the grandest roller coasters.
"Now I'm going to make you twice
your weight," Rabeneau commented
as he banked us into a sudden turn.
Our bodies shifted to the side, amplifying the effects of gravity and making us feel squished.
During a straight glide, we felt a
sense of ease, forgetting that we were
floating at 3,000 feet without an engine. Rabeneau said that once he had
been as high as 36,000 feet in the air.
"If that doesn't make you an addict," he said, "you might as well buy
a bowling ball."
The 20-minuteride seemed too short
as we approached the landing strip.
We longed to stay airborne for just a
few minutes more.
Touchdown was smoother and more
effortless than any engine-powered
plane could be. We scarcely felt the
ground when it was touched by the
glider's wheels.
Warner Springs Soaring Center
offers longer, higherrides for slightly
more money; and real thrill seekers
can earn their gliding license after 2535 flights.
All in all the experience of gliding
soars to new heights of adventure.

turned one of the adjoining buildings into a theater. Actually, the
theater was originally built in the
1920s as a gym for Jack Dempsey
to train for his second fight with
GeneTunney.
Back in 1980 when Goodman
producedhisfirstpioduction, 'Our
Town,' he was not only worried
about the local talent, but he also
worried whether there would be
enough of an audience to warrant a
year-around, weekend theater.
"I was skeptical before the first
performance, (so) I rented the theater lighting."
He was so impressed with the
audience's reaction on that first
night that the next day he purchased the permanent lighting.
On Oct. 6,1990, Pine Hills Barbecue Dinner Theater opened with
its 53rd production.
'Noises Off,' a comedy by Michael Frayn, will run Friday and
Saturday nights until the first of
the year. The cost is $25.
Included in the show is a barbecue dinner of New York Strip
Steak, Baby Back Pork Ribs, assorted salad and vegetable dishes,
warm Dudly bread,andhome made
pork and beans. If you call in advance, you can order baked
chicken, seafood of the day or a
vegetarian entree.
The theater in Pine Trees holds
only 96 people, so it is important to
call for reservations.
"Originally, we only drew
people from the San Diego area,
but now we are getting quite a few
people from Orange and Los
Angeles county," said Goodman.
He has produced all of the 53
productions and has starred in
seven of them. Goodman got his
taste for the theater while attending Duke University where he was
a producer for the Duke Players.
Goodman is also a Wizard fan
and he has the largest collection of
wizards in the state. The wizards
have places of honor above the
fireplace and on plate racks and
antique furniture around the lobby.

Apples highlight activities
during autumn months
The quaint, North County city of Julian
bristles with activity during the fall months.
The month of October is known as Apple Days
throughout the Julian vicinity. Here visitors
can find apples in every shape and size.
The city of Julian has a wide array of gift
shops and restaurants which cater to the apple
lover in all of us.
Visitors to the quaint town should by all
means try some good-old fashioned cider and
caramel apples during their stay.
Probably the best place to delve into the
apple culture is the Julian Cider Mill. This
little gift/specialty shop not only has freshsqueezed apple cider, it offers honey, jams and
nuts worthy of any grandmother's kitchen.
The Cider Mill offers some very unusual
honeys that sound as tempting as they look.
Hawaiian honey, Mesquite honey, Papaya
honey, apple honey and even pieces of honey
combs fill the tiny shop. A sign outside the
door even offers bees for sale.
There is homemade fudge in dozens of
mouth-watering flavors, and enough candy to
keep the dentist industry in prosperity for years
to come.
Visitors can also watch the process of making apple cider from the inside of the store.
Apples are placed in trays, covered and then
squished to a pulp before the viewers' eyes.
The Cider Mill offers cherry and boysenberry
cider as well as the traditional apple flavor.
The Cider Mill is located on the main drag of
Julian, near Mom's Apple Pie Shop.
For an apple pie that is loaded with fresh,
tangy apples, Mom's Apple Pie Shop is difficult to match.
Mom's is easy tofind— it's the place with
the huge, snaking lines. From your place in line
you can watch the process Mom's uses in
constructing its masterful pies. Even though
lines can last as long as 30 minutes, Mom's
pies are well worth the wait.
Mama's Cafe also serves apple pies to those
who don't like long lines.
Another prosperous pie place is the Golden
Apple Restaurant The Golden Apple sits off
the highway toward the entrance to town.
For those who like to see Julian from a
cushioned seat, carriagescontinually traverse
the crowded streets. For $5 per adult, a 15minuteridetakes you around all the crowds to
a time before automobiles.
The best part about the horse-drawn carriages is that you needn't fret about a parking
space.
The Julian Country Market offers everything from apple-crafts to cast-iron stoves.
Here you can pick up a caramel apple topped
with M&Ms or sugar sprinkles. These delectable delights are offered by cart vendors on
the market's lower levels.
Old-fashioned crafts abound in this forum
of arts and crafts. Apples carves of wood range
in all shapes and sizes. If you'vealways wanted
a genuine cast-iron stove to accent your rustic
kitchen, the market has plenty to choose from.
An immense variety of potpourris are available to add that scented, old-fashioned touch
to any household.
The Julian Country Market is located downtown near Mom's Pie Shop.
If a caffeine buzz is needed to propel you
through the streets of Julian, then you will be
delighted with the wide variety of exotic coffees offered at the Mug Shot Cafe. Expresso,
cappucino and other coffees are served alongside a tempting menu of freshly made soups.
The Mug Shot Cafe is located on the south
side of the downtown area.
If melodrama is what you seek, then you will
enjoy the melodrama performances in the
Town Hall.
Each Saturday and Sunday the Town Hall
puts on an old-time melodrama at 2:30 in the
afternoon. During these performances, the
audience is encouraged to participate by adding boos and cheers to the characters in the
play. The performance itself is filled with
costumes and stories reflecting the turn of the
century.
Shoppers will love the sweater shops found
in the downtown area.
Julian Sweaters Ltd. offers Pendleton
sweaters to keep even the coldest fish warm
during the winter months. Located in the southern section of the downtown area, Julian
Sweaters has a gorgeous selection of winter
wear.
Across the street from Julian Sweaters Ltd.,
is B arbara's on the Hill and the Yarn Company. Barbara's has a beautiful selection of
hand-woven sweaters with striking textures
and colors.
The Yarn Company isfilledwith any kind of
yarn needed to make sweaters and weavings.
Just east of the downtown area, historians
can delight in the Eagle and High Peaks Mine
tour.
For $6, visitors get an hour-long tour of
Billie Moran's nineteenth-century gold mines.
The mines' proprietors, Harlan and Karl
Nelson, take you on a trip to the days when
gold fever ran through the area in epidemic
proportions.
You will see how gold was extracted and
refined at the turn of the century.
The tour takes you on a step-by-step trek
J O N A T H A N YCfuNG/PIONEER
rough the mine shafts themselves, with an
historical commentary running throughout
i tour by the guide.
Outside of the mine shaft is a prospector's museum. Here you can view the treasures found in mines similar to the High Peaks
and Eagle mines. Some of the eye-catching
treasures can be purchased on the premises.
Before entering Julian, be sure to stop at one
of the many apple ranches which thrive during
the month of October. These apple supermarkets can be found right off the highway just
outside of Julian.
Meyer Orchards has, in addition to apples,
peaches and pears. These fall fruits can be
purchased either by the bushel or the bag.
The Manzanita Ranch is probably the most
popular apple farm, with Dudley's bread offered as an added attraction.
For pleasant and rustic lodging, the Pine
Hills Lodge is an oasis of relaxation for the
nostalgic at heart.
Here boarders can stay amongst fallen leaves
and frolicking squirrels in a lodge filled with
the ambienceof 1912. A stone hearth makes for
the perfect place to sip a hot drink and reminisce about old times.
Outside of Julian in the town of Santa Ysabel
one can find the famous Dudley's Bakery.
Sixteen varieties of freshly-baked breads are
offered at Dudleys. The bread is so good it is
difficult to make it home without munching on
the soft bread.
Lines to purchase the breads are as long as
Mom's Pie Shop, but well worth it.
Pastries and coffee can also be bought at
Dudley's.
Thirty minutes north of Julian, thrillseekers
can have a soaring good time at the Warner
Hot Springs Soaring Center. Here you can
take a twenty-minute ride in a glider for less
than $40.
The gliderridesare safe and make for an outof-the-ordinary adventure that shouldn't be
missed.
Passengers areflowntowed in their gliders
by a plane and dropped at 3,000 feet, where the
engineless plane is on its own. An experienced
pilot will take you on a trip into the wild, blue
yonder that is unforgettable.
The Soaring Center also serves as a pilot
training school for those who wish to man the
glider controls themselves. Gaining a gliding
license is a long process, however, requiring
about 30 hours of flight time before the pilot is
allowed to go solo.
The flights at the Soaring Center are entirely
safe. In its 31 -year existence, the center has had
no accidents.

Symphony sets
'electric' year
FRED TRACEY/PIONEER
New San Diego Symphony Music
Director Yoav Talmi has programmed
an electic year of music. Students can
take advantage of these music programs with a "student rush" offer
from the symphony. Students with
school I.D. (or other proof of enrollment) can get half-price on all remaining seats one-hour before performances.
There are some wonderful programs
planned, let* s start at the topof the list
of favorite concerts this year by the
San Diego Symphony:
Gustav Mahler in San Diego? (Not
in person - he's dead) Yes! Ever since
Talmi "introduced" Mahler to San
Diego as a guest conductor in May
last year with Mahler's ' Titan" First
Symphony, then again in October last
year with Mahler's Fifth Symphony,
San Diego audiences have become
Mahlerarians of some sorts.
In the 1990-91 season, Talmi, a
noted Mahler interpreter has programmed Mahler's gigantic Second
Symphony (Resurrection). This particular Mahler symphony has been
winding its way down the coast this
year. Performed in the spring by the
San Francisco Symphony, it moves
down to Los Angeles laster this year
with the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
Our band picks it up April 5-7,1991
with Talmi conducting this monumental and dramatic work for chorus,
orchestra, vocal soloists (and even
organ!). This is the concert of the
year.
Next on my list is a concert Nov.
30-Dec. 2 with Talmi at the conducting helm and Ida Levin violin soloist
on Medelssohn's Concerto in e minor
for Violin and Orchestra. Talmi climaxes the concert with Bruckner's
Symphony No. 7 in E Major.
The Symphony's Classical Hits
series includes an innovative concert
highlighting hints of dance in classical music Jan. 5,1991. The program
includes dances by Dvorak, Brahms,
Copland and Beethoven's dance-like
Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op. 92.
"P.D.Q. Bach,"akaProfessor Peter
Schickele appears in a conceit of his
own compositions: Fanfare for Fred
(I might like that), Grande Serenade
for an awful lot of instruments, Classical Rap, Prelude to Einstein on the
Fritz, "Safe" Sextet and the 1712
Overture. If you haven't gathered by
now, this music proves that classical
music can be funny, in an odd sort of
way. This will be a sell-out conceit.
P.D.Q. Bach appears with conductor
David Itkin Feb. 1 and 2,1991.
For the romantics, Talmi conducts
a c oncert c entering around
Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, and
appropriately the concerts are held in
collaboration with actors from the
Old Globe Theatre. The program
features Berlioz's Two Excerpts from
the Dramatic Symphony Romeo et
Juliette, TchaikovsRy's Romeo and
Juliet Overture-Fantasy and Prokofiev's Music for the Ballet "Romeo
and Juliet."
Leonard Bernstein's serious concert music hasn't been well represented in this area, so the symphony's
Principal Guest Conductor Robert
Shaw conducts a concert made-up
entirely of Bernstein's music March
15-17. The concert includes Symphonic Dances from 'West Side
Story,' The Age of Anxiety (with
piano soloist Jeffrey Kahane), Two
Meditations from Mass and the Chichester Palms. The La Jolla Civic/University Symphony Chorus appears
Under the direction of Yoav Talmi, The San Diego Symphony begins its 63rd season.
with Shaw and the orchestra.
Bruhaha d oesn't cloud d irector's ability
It seemed appropriate for new San Diego Symphony Music Director Yoav Talmi to program
Verdi's4La Forza del Destino* Overture to open the
orchestra's 63rd season earlier this month. 'La
Forza del Destino,' which translates to 'The Force
of Destiny,' appears to echo the symphony's immediate outlook.
Israli conductor Talmi put the icing on the cake
for the San Diego Symphony when the orchestra
named him music director-designate April last year.
Finding an artistic leader for the rebounding orchestra meant stability, and a signal to the community
that the orchestra's destiny was well secure for the
present
Bouncing back from the total financial collapse
of four years ago, the orchestra has been rebuilding
all areas: artistic to financial. Theorchestra was also
faced with regaining the
trust and confidence of
the San Diego community (the debt of four
years ago was much
larger than publicly acknowledged by the symphony's "old regime."
Since then, a new staff
has been engaged and
thQ board of directors YOAV TALMI/
revamped).
CONDUCTOR
Naming a music director was one ot the challenges the symphony had to meet. The other challenge was touted as much as Talmi's engagement:
becoming totally debt free (which the orchestra did
earlier this year). With millions in donations (in-
cluding a $2 million gift from publisher Helen
Copley to retire the debt on Symphony Hall which
the orchestra acquired a year before the financial
collapse. The hall was re-named "Copley Symphony Hall.").
Talmi was met with plenty of bruhaha as he
began his three-year appointment as music director
Oct. 1. There were two speeches made from the
stage prior to the Oct. 3 concert, both of them not
from Talmi. I wish the symphony's administration
would get out of the business of making speeches!
There were speeches made last April from the
stage announcing Talmi as music director-designate, again, Talmi did not speak. Let's just skip the
speeches (a front by symphony administration to
SEE TALMI/PAGE 14
�T ALMI
CONTINUED FORM PAGE 13
al|ow celebrity donors a few minutes
irt the spotlight) and get down to the
business of making music.
Which is what Talmi and the orchestra does best
The program chosen by Talmi to
op^n the season was a music-lovers
dream: Verdi's 'LaForzadel Destino'
Overture, Rachmaninoff s Rhapsody
on a Theme of Paganini and Brahms'
Symphony No. 1. Andre Watts was to
have appeared in the Rachmaninoff
as piano soloist, but had to be replaced at the last minute due to a
strained neck muscle. Watts was replaced by Cuban pianist Horacio
Gutierrez.
Gutierrez gave an honorable performance of the Rachmaninoff. The
Cuban pianist didn' t meddle too much
with the lushly romantic 18th variation of the Rhapsody.
Following the Verdi and the Rachmaninoff, Talmi and the orchestra got
down to business with Brahms' powerful Symphony No. 1 in c minor.
Talmi brought out all of Brahms'
expressive plains in the symphony.
Talmi knows how to bring you up in
the music, let's you float around a
little, and brings you back down to a
full tilt Bravo, maestro!
My friend, accompanying me to
the concert, and I chose to move to
empty seats in the first row of the hall,
right behind Talmi and in front of the
cello sections (we had to crane our
necks a bit to see the orchestra on the
elevated stage).
My friend wanted to be closer to the
cellos, I wanted to be closer to the
music making - specifically to observe Talmi closer.
What a show I got Talmi is expressive, but he doesn't dance around on
the podium. He gets what he wants
through his clear beat patters, his
phrasing and his ability to drive the
80-plus musicians with his passion
for the music. By the time the Brahms
was over, I felt that I had died and
gone to heaven - and back again.

lilzLHL
County, and hamburger pilgrims can rejoice with the
arrival of In 'N Out Burgers to Vista.
What makes In 'N Out so desirable is its unceasing
dedication to fresh ingredients. Whereas waits at In 'N
Out may be longer than other burger barns, the quality of
their food makes the fulfilled anticipation all the more
gratifying.
The menu is short, simple, sufficient and sweet Nowhere can the collegiate gôurmetfindburgers with bacon
or avocado; there are no onion rings or hot apple pies.
Only hamburgers and cheeseburgers, shakes and fries are
offered.
By keeping away from the glitz and glamor of fancyschmancy concoctions, In 'N Out has the leeway to master
the art of good, old-time burger-making.
The masterpiece of In *N Out is its famed doubledouble cheeseburger. At $2.30, it is a work of art worthy
of a place in the Louvre. By adhering strictly to the basics,
the double-double achieves what few other burger shops
can — perfection in simplicity.
The ingredients of the double-double rest on a lightly
toasted bun. There are no sesame seeds to irritate the
dentures or the palate. The buns are fresh and make for a
perfect resting place for the delectable ingredients.
Two juicy hamburger patties, made with fresh, handmolded choice beef and sizzled to perfection, are smothered with two slices of American cheese and placed on the
bun.
Add fresh lettuce, tomatoes and onions to these ingredients and a glob of special sauce, and the double-double
is complete. With no cumbersome side ingredients like
avocado, bacon or mushrooms, the double-double becomes a revered monument to simplicity.
Be advised that it is almost impossible to eat only one
double-double. The ingredients are so fresh and scrumptious that, even with a prohibitive appetite, the tastebuds
cry for more.
Frenchfriesat In 'N Out Burgers are 70 cents and are
made with fresh potatoes; no unknown spices and flavorings encumber the flavor. They are of the good old-fashioned shoestring variety that are not too dry or greasy.
Customers at In 'N Out can actually witness thé potatoes
being peeled and sliced while waiting in line.
To compliment the double-double and fries, the collegiate gourmet finds the shakes to be extraordinary. These
thick,richcreations, made with fresh ice cream, are the
perfect compliments to a great meal at $1.25. Flavors
come in the traditional strawberry, vanilla and chocolate
varieties. Be advised that these shakes are so thick, drinking them through a straw can become difficult.
In *N Out also serves the usual soft drinks and a
deliciously tangy lemonade.
The only setback to In *N Out Burgers is the massive
waits for service. Both drive-thru and walk-up windows
have exasperating lines; but do not despair, the food at In
'N Out is well worth the wait

RecycleMania 2013 brings recycling pride back to CSUSM
B Y K ATLIN SWEENEY
FEATURES EDITOR
After a devastating loss
in last year's RecycleMania, this year's competition
brought good news back to
CSUSM.
The eight-week competition, which lasted this year
from Feb. 3 to March 30,
sought to motivate colleges
and universities to increase
their recycling, prevent more
toxins from being created
in landfills and to teach students to separate their trash
into different bins when they
throw things away.
RecycleMania

campuses across the United
States and Canada participated in the 2013 RecycleMania
competition, hoping to win
the coveted "Grand Champion" title or to place in various other categories.
"Grand Champion repre-
sents the true measure of
your recycling on your campus. It is waste divided into
two categories: trash and
recyclables. We are in other
competitions that are important, but Grand Champion is
the prime, overall champion,
and that's the one we aim to
win every year," CSUSM
Recycling Program Coordinator Carl Hanson said.
While CSUSM failed to
place higher than third in
the competition for Grand
Champion, this year, the university took home first place
in the Targeted Materials
Category for Paper category.
However, CSUSM's biggest win was in the major
category Per Capita Classic,
defeating the other campuses with an impressive
53.11 lbs., or total pounds
of recyclables collected per
person. This is calculated by
combining the full weight of
recycling done and not done
on campus and dividing it by
the amount of students and
faculty members that con-

O ut of 100 students polled. Information compiled by Alex Franco
A record that has withstood
seven years of trial and error
is no more. CSUSM Junior
Maurice Strickland from
San Diego, has become the
school's "greatest athlete,"
a title that has traditionally
been given to decathlon winners since King Gustav V
bestowed the honor upon
Jim Thorpe, the world's first
Olympic Decathlon Champion in 1912.
Strickland broke Aaron
Parker's former school record by a staggering 550
points, with a total of 6,557
points in decathelon's 10
disciplines last Thursday afternoon at the always competitive Mt. Sac Relays.
Strickland reflects on his
performance and what the
accomplishment means to
him and his legacy.
Question: Was breaking
the record a goal of yours
coming into the season?
Answer: My. main focus
coming into the season was
to better myself and to keep
improving in each event. In
the decathlon, I have some
weaker events and I just
wanted to train hard in those.
The record was in the back
of my mind and I knew if I
trained hard I could beat it.
Q: What does it mean to
you to have a record like
this, in such a tough event
like the decathlon?
A: It really means a lot. It is
a symbol of all my hard work
and long weeks of practice.
It will be nice to know that
even when I am no longer a
student here, I have left my
mark.
Q: What was it that drew
you to run the decathlon
instead of a single event?
A: I have always felt that
one event was not enough. I
started in high school in the
pole vault and hurdles, then
as my career progressed, I
became infatuated with the
idea of being able to do all
types of events. I always
liked the idea of being a
well-rounded person and I
guess that same idea applied
to track. After two long days
and feeling like I can't stand
anymore it feels amazing to
think about what I just accomplished.
Q: After breaking such
an impressive record,
where do you look to go
from here? How will you
keep yourself hungry/motivated for more?
A: Staying motivated is
easy for me; there is always
room for improvement and
I am never satisfied. I constantly set new goals for
myself and one of my new
goals is to be the national
champion in the dècathlon.
That would be the cherry on
top of an already amazing
season.
Although there may be no
king or queèn in San Marcos
to declare him the "world's
greatest athlete,", there is
an entire campus of almost
10,000 to revere in the astounding feat Strickland
pulled off.
Records were meant to be
broken, but Maurice Strickland showed that some were
meant to be destroyed.
T HE H E A R T B EAT: Seniors
Moderation is essential for alcohol consumption
B Y CURTIS BOVEE
SENIOR STAFF W RITER
According to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), there
are approximately 80,000
deaths attributable to excessive alcohol use in the U.S.
each year.
In the U.S., a standard
drink consists of 0.6 ounces of pure alcohol. This
amount is typically found in
12 ounces of beer, 8 ounces
of malt liquor, 5 ounces of
wine, or 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits or liquor.
Moderation is considered
one drink per day for women, and no more than two
drinks per day for men.
Unfortunately, statistics
reveal that most people fail
I
to stay within these limits.
A binge occurs when men
consume greater than five
drinks in two hours and
when women consume more
than four drinks in the same
period. The CDC reports
that one in six adults binge
drink about four times a
month, consuming about
eight drinks per binge.
Furthermore, 92 percent of
adults in the U.S. who admit to drinking report binge
drinking at least once in the
last month.
Binge drinking can result
in hefty repercussions for
everyone. According to the
CDC, in 2006:
- Binge drinkers were 14
times more likely to report
alcohol-impaired
driving
than non-binge drinkers.
Afhlptp
.Minieie
- Binge drinking cost the
U.S. $223.5 billion, or $1.90
a drink, from losses in productivity, healthcare, crime
and other expenses.
- Binge drinking costs federal, state and local governments 62 cents per drink.
- There were more than
1.2 million emergency room
visits and 2.7 million physician visits due to excessive
alcohol consumption.
Health-related repercussions from excessive alcohol consumption are
endless. More immediate
consequences include unintentional injuries; which
involve traffic injuries, falls,
drownings, burns and unintentional firearm injuries;
and violence towards oneself and others.

honored as CSUSM splits
series against The Master's College
BY ALEX FRANCO
S PORTS E DITOR
It was Senior Day at
GSUSM on Saturday, April
20, where the No. 11 ranked
Cougar Baseball team honored their nine graduating
seniors.
The team's seniors include:
Kody Sepulveda, Marcus Meraz, Steve Messner,
James Dykstra, Mike Guadagnini, Kyle Secciani, Frank
Charlton, Mike Scarmella
and Kenny Belzer.
It was a tale of two teams
as CSUSM fell to Masters
College 11-4 in game one,
and turned the tables and
routed Master's 10-2 in the
second game.
Senior ace James Dykstra
took the mound in game one
and pitched well into the seventh inning before running
into a jam in the top of the
eighth and allowing two runs
to give Master's College the
lead and ultimately the win.
A comeback effort would
fall short for the Cougars in
the ninth inning when Bran-
don Bentson belted a huge
2-run home run, his second
of the year, but it wasn't
enough to overcome the
bevy of runs Master's produced, falling 11-4.
Game two of Saturday's
double-header featured an
onslaught of Cougar runs
and hits as the offense put up
10 runs on 15 hits. On a day
to honor the seniors, it was a '
couple of underclassmen that
really stepped up and helped
the team to victory.
Junior pitcher Hunter
Brown started game two and
held the Master's College
bats silent for the better part
of his 5.1 innings pitching,
only allowing two runs while
striking out five hitters. On
the other side of the game,
freshman Brandon Bentson was the catalyst for the
Cougar offense, continuing
his monstrous hitting from
game one into game two as
he scored the game'sfirstrun
on a two run double down
the right field line finishing
the game 2-4 with two runs.
Tyler Bernard and Kyle
Secciani contributed with
their own two run hits in
what was a big fourth inning,
where they put up five runs
to carry the team to an impressive 10-2 win over the
No. 9 Master's putting an
end to a three game losing
streak and improving to 30-9
this season.
"Facing a very good team,
it's not always going to go
the way you plan," coach
Pugh said. "I was happy that
we were able to get a win
out of today despite the days
struggles."
The performance against
Master's puts the team at the
30 win plateau for the first
time in the programs history
and puts them in great position heading into the season's
final games next week and
eventually the playoffs afterwards according to Pugh.
The Cougar's wrap their
regular season up at noon on
April 26 at home, in a double-header against Arizona
Christian before heading into
the playoffs.

Art & veterans on campus Good to the bone: The benefits of'Pause for Paws'
B Y K A T L I N S WEENEY
FEATURES EDITOR
Earlier this month, students
had the opportunity to give
back to the men and women
who have served our country.
In the course Art and Social Change, students learn
how to become leaders and
change their society with art.
Students Courteney Henley, Megan Koelln, Shayna
Benavidez, Jorge Hernandez, Aimee De Leon, Kelsey Pinedo and Salisha Canare taking what they have
learned in this class to help
the veterans on campus.
The Art and Social Change
has already collected 100
books and $100 in donations for CSUSM's Veteran's
Center, but they hope to surpass this amount with donations from students, staff and
faculty on campus.
According to group member Courteney Henley, the
idea to help the veterans on
campus came from fellow
group member Aimee De
Leon, who knows people
in the Veteran's Center and
after talking to them, recognized the need for textbooks
and reading books.
"It is important that veterans receive textbooks and
reading books because text-
books are expensive and
some [veterans] can't afford them, so we thought as
a group, it would be nice of
us and the whole school to
donate used textbooks that
we're not using anymore and
give it to them," Henley said.
On April 9 and 11, the Art
and Social Change group and
veterans from the Veteran's
Center held events to encourage students to donate books
and art pieces. The veterans
cooked hamburgers and gave
out desserts to those students
that stopped by and donated.
For students that missed
the opportunity to donate
earlier this month, the Art
and Social Change group has
created more ways that students can contribute to their
cause. There will be bins set
up around campus where
students can drop off their
books and art pieces for donation or students can go to
the Veteran's Center in the
third floor of Craven Hall in
room 3724 and deliver them
personally.

At the end of every semester, "Pause for Paws" is an
event that takes place in front
of Kellogg Library, where
certified therapy dogs are
awaiting stressed students to
send some love their way.
The foundation that sponsors these college-based
events, "Love on a Leash,"
started in the early 1980's
by dog obedience instructor
Liz Palika. She introduced
the thought of pet-provided
therapy to schools? hospitals,
nursing homes and more. Palika's intent for "Love on a
Leash" was for these therapy
pets to brighten someone's
day.
Bonnie Biggs, Board Vice
President, has observed firsthand the effect
these
dogs have on
people.
"UC Davis
did a study
that
indicates
that
kids
who
read to dogs
can improve
their reading skills by 12 percent. I've
witnessed this potential in
kids who are shy about reading but loosen up and enjoy
reading to toy dog, Koshi,
and even show her the pictures," Biggs said.
These dogs are privately
owned and go through extensive
training, but
knowing a
dog's temperament is
vital in the
sense that
they need
to be able
to give affection to a
hospice patient or allow a group of kids
to pet her.
"Given their ability to
bring comfort and joy, colleges began bringing dogs
to campus during finals.
Emerging research indicates
that the very act of petting a
dog reduces blood pressure,
slow heart rates and changes brain chemistry," Biggs
explained. "Students miss
their own pets and some just
drop to their knees to hug the
dogs."
Most recently, some dogs
were brought to Boston in
light of the Boston Marathon
bombings that took place a
few weeks ago to help the
survivors and mourning families.
"Pause for Paws" will take
place on May 2 from 10 a.m.
to 2 p.m. outside of Kellogg
Library.

The Pride Center is continuing to show movies
every day and is, and always
has been, open and welcoming to students that are curious about what the center

are continuing, some during U-hour and some during

tackle heavy and often controversial topics that are
open to the contributions and
interpretations of students
from all walks of life, so long

THE COUGAR CHRONICLE, W EDNESDAY, APRIL 24,2013
OPINION
Student debt vs degree The film industry and the 'American Dream'
BY WHITNEY MAHON
CONTRIBUTOR
As many college students
are beginning to prepare for
finals coming up within the
next month, the wait begins
to find out their financial aid
eligibility for the upcoming
academic year. While some
are preparing for summer
vacation in some exotic city,
others are excited to be able
to put in more hours at their
jobs to save up for the following semester.
During my undergraduate studies from 2007-2011,
California State University consecutively increased
their tuition 10% each academic year. When will increases in tuition and fees
stop? Recently, President
Haynes posted on the California State University San
Marcos website homepage
the proposal of a "Success
Fee" maxing out at $275 per
semester by the 2016-2017
academic year. That just adds
to the money coming out of
student's pockets.
I plan to stay in school for
the rest of my life to postpone paying back my loans
because everyone knows that
trying to get a career within
the six months grace period
they give us is highly unlikely in this economy. I need a
loan just to start paying back
my loans.
According to FinAid, in
quarter one of the 2012-13
school year, over 9 million
f ree FAFSA applications
were submitted, with California having the highest
submission rate. With such
a high participation rate, you
would think that this would
be an easy and delightful
process. Financial aid has
been anything b ut...
The most efficient thing
about financial aid is when
they gave you the ability to
automatically link your application to the government
page which transported your
tax information over for you.
That saved you a whole 30
minutes; the time I wish they
would take to realize that my
parent's information had absolutely no correlation to my
life expenses.
The second year I was in
college was the same year
my parents stopped supporting me after declaring
all
me independent according
to government regulations.
However, none of that really mattered since I was
under the age of 25 and was
still considered "dependent",
forcing me to put their tax
information on my financial
aid application which altered
my eligibility of receiving
the necessary funding.
And then when I did get accepted for a grant or loan, the
wait to receive your check
feels longer than eternity. I
am thankful to receive any
type of aid, but it doesn't
help that my check gets sent
to my house 3 weeks into
the semester at the point
where I have already missed
2 homework assignments
and failed one quiz because
I couldn't afford to buy the
$97 required textbook for the
course.
According to The College
Board, two-thirds of fulltime undergraduate students
receive some sort of financial aid, whether it is loans,
grants, scholarships, and/or
work-study. It is evident that
over half of students depend
on these sources of financial
support and without it; they
would be stuck living life
with nothing more than a
high school diploma.
And don't get me wrong,
students can go through an
entire college career without
receiving any financial aid
but even working 40 hours a
week at 17 dollars per hour,
sure I could have afford my
tuition, but would end up being evicted from my apartment and eating Top Ramen
out of the bag.
One last issue is that financial aid requires you to be
enrolled full-time in order to
receive all of your financial
assistance, yet schools are
becoming so overcrowded
that it is almost impossible
to get the classes you need.
No classes, no money. No
money, no classes. It looks
like we got a case of a "Catch

The American Dream is a

B Y N ICOLE I GNELL
STAFF W RITER
Over spring break, I had
the opportunity to completely geek out and go to the sets
of one of the most popular,
captivating and nail biting
shows on television, AMC's
"The Walking Dead" in Atlanta, Georgia.
For those of you that do
not watch "The Walking
Dead", stop reading this and
go watch it now. For the rest
of the sane population, "The
Walking Dead" is a show
about the zombie apocalypse that follows a group of
southerners that face the normal challenges of the post-
apocalyptic world and they
get chased, around by braineating people.
Wfiile on my trip, I visited the iconic geek locations
such as Morgan's House,
Downtown Atlanta, Rick's
House, the Quarry and the
CDC.
What was different with
these sets compared to others
was the fact that these wereactually peoples homes, real
work-filled buildings and
real cities full of - people.
The realism of the show presented itself with how many
people really did occupy
the streets, parks and buildings. I felt engulfed into the
world of the walking dead.

In a feisty mood lately? Need to let out that last-month-of-school
angst? The listed songs are sure to express those feelings of
revenge. Whether it was an ex-boyfriend or a friendship gone sour,
these songs hold true to the feelings we have when good relationships go bad.
" Want U B ack" B y C her Lloyd
Cher Lloyd gives off a feisty air in this upbeat hip-hop revenge
song. With fun lyrics to sing along with the dancing tune, you will
want to set this song on repeat to party to again and again.
" King of A nything" By S ara Bareilles
This is a song that illustrates a true woman's independent character. She stands up for herself against her overbearing, over controlling ex. Her sassy lyrics are exactly how some women feel when it
comes to their previous relationships.
" Wide A wake" By K aty P erry
Katy Perry sings her heart out in this heart-wrenching song that
expresses the feelings of a woman who was caught under the spell
of a man who was not good for her. Some say this song has to do
with the singer's divorce with Russell Brand.
" Set Fire t o t he R ain" By A dele
Adele is the best when it comes to revenge/comeback songs.'Set
Fire to the Rain' is one of those songs in her album *2I \ In this
song, she sings for all women to be strong and stand up for their
own free will,
" jar of H earts" B y C hristina P erri
The mystic tale in this song, especially portrayed in her music
video, is a true testament for women to not be run over. Perri has
a very artistic way of portraying her thoughts in song, and this one
is definitely one to listen to.

B Y C OUGAR C HRONICLE
S TAFF M EMBERS
The eighth annual CSUSM
Student Media Festival returns next month, and organizers are encouraging students to enter their films and
videos before the deadline
next week.
Film professor Jonathan
Berman, who is coordinating
the festival with fellow VPA
professors Minda Martin
and Kristine Diekman, said
that while most of the student entries come from arts
and communications departments, the festival is open to
all.
"We're looking for entries
from all across the campus,"
he said. "Students should really know how to read and
write video as much as they
know how to read and write
with words."
Berman said many former
CSUSM student filmmakers
have gone on to successful
careers in the entertainment
business. And one film featured at a past Student Media Festival on the Wounded
Warriors Project at Camp
Pendleton was later featured
at a film festival in Washington, D.C.

We're open to all kinds of
films," Berman said. "We've
seen personal stuff, documentaries, immigration films
and even some fun little
chase movies. But we prefer
films that are more personal
... that have the imprint of
the maker in them."
Each year, the festival

Employees of Dunder Mifflin-Sabre turn off their mics
i
B Y M E U S S A M ARTINEZ
NEWS EDITOR
In 2005, television viewers
in the U.S. were introduced
to "The Office," a 'mockumentary' series based on the
U.K. version of the same title. Fans of the series, which
centralizes on the everyday
lives of office employees at
Dunder Mifflin-Sabre Paper
Company, Inc., have ridden
an impeccable, emotional
roller-coaster as they witnessed characters transition
through alluring situations
in the office and in their personal lives.
The beloved Steve Carell,
who played the "World's
Best Boss" Michael Scott,
left the series in season seven, viewers were forced to
witness the catastrophes that
have followed Scott's departure. With guest appearances
of Will Ferrell , Ray Romano,
Kathy Bates, Catherine Tate
and recently the beloved Roseanne Barr, viewers aren't
quite sure where Dunder
Mifflin-Sabre's future is
headed.
Though season 8 was particularly rough for the show,
with the frustration added
to employees when James
Spader's character as Robert California, new regional
manager was introduced,
season 9 picked up with
comical scenes the audience is accustomed to. After
Andy Bernard's character
(Ed Helms) is reunited with
the regional manager's position, the every day humor
of working in the office is
returned, much to the joy of
viewers.
The past nine seasons have
been memorable. Viewers have witnessed Michael
Scott through heartache
and heartbreak with various
women, deal with racism in
the office (though he was the
cause of it most of the time)
and transition from "friend"
and menace to brilliant salesman, reminding the audience
and employees the reason he
was placed as regional manager for the Scranton branch.
After leaving Dunder Mifflin
temporarily and forming his
own company (The Michael
Scott Paper Company) in
season five, Scott returned
with gusto, ready to pulverize any and all of Dunder
Mifflin's competitors. Viewers have experienced possibly the most romantic,
heartfelt development of a
relationship through Pam
Beesly (Jenna Fischer) and
Jim Halpert (John Krasinski)
as Pam leaves her emotionally abusive husband and
settles into the arms of Jim,

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

the decision to stop managing the fraternity's investment account due to their
negative reputation. On the
same day that JPMorgan

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

Net neutrality has always

Republicans on the Commission, said.
Some argue that the legal
action is unnecessary and
some that it is an attempt

more power.
"Republicans have opposed the FCC's attempts
to enact net neutrality rules,
arguing that the Internet has
thrived because it has been

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

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

Natural beauty is preferred aesthetic
B Y RACHEL SMITH
STAFFWRITER

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

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

With a 22-3-1 record, they
have been racking up wins
all seasons long and nothing
seems to be slowing them

The Lady Cougars' success
can be attributed to both how
they have played and how

"The team bought into a
family dynamic outlook and
the fact that they are understanding it is okay to fail, but
all that matters is reaction,"
Coach Ledesma said,
According to Junior Genna

"nothing but great so far.
"The team is getting better and better each and every

This season the women
have been doing great in
every aspect, especially their
ability to trust a brand new

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

restaurant inviting.
There are three different
seating areas for your enjoyment: The first can be seen

is used for a normal dining
experience, complete with
booths and tables.
As you continue throughout the space, there is a cozy
lounge with plush couches
and hanging lanterns accompanied by a wall filled with
different varieties of wine.
Continuing on towards the
back of the bistro, there is
a full wine bar with bar top
tables that seem great for enjoying some of their Happy

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

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

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

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

Event during U-Hour here at
CSUSM. During U-hour, Alpha Xi Delta passed out blue
lollipops with facts about
autism attached to them to
educate the public about how
prevalent it is becoming. It
has been recently announced
.that, "1 in 68 children are being diagnosed as having an

(Autism Speaks). It is important that the public is educated about this disorder because of how often children
are now being diagnosed.
April 2 was World Autism

day, we encouraged everyone to wear blue, as well as
to "Light it Up" blue during
the entire month of April.
This means that an individual can purchase a blue light

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

However, even with the
consideration of cross-contamination, the biotech has
consistently come out on top.
In 2012, Proposition 37
proposed to Californians the
idea of GMO Labeling. If
this proposition had passed it

their genetically modified

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

opinion

exactly why

justices are

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

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

How will those three out

most common practice in the
United States incorporates
radiation and chemotherapy.
Chemo and radiation definitely have an effect on cancer, but they also have an effect on the patient's body and

Chemotherapy and radiation ultimately destroy the

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

learning more about cancer
treatment alternatives, check

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

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

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

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

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

in some action sequences,

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

ROTC students want to end SDSU trips
B Y K ATUN SWEENEY
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Students currently enrolled in ROTC must travel
60 miles round-trip f rom
CSUSM to SDSU to take the
appropriate classes, which
has sparked the debate over
whether military science
courses should be offered on
campus.
A favorable vote f rom the
Academic Senate would allow ROTC members, as well
as any students interested in
the subject material, to take
military science courses at
CSUSM. The classes would
focus on leadership skills
while having military principals.
Students can participate in
ROTC at CSUSM, however
the courses that are required
for them to take are cross-enrolled through SDSU. ROTC
students are required to commute to San Diego on Tuesdays for an outdoors leadership lab and on Thursdays
f or work in the classroom.
The program is extremely
time intensive, some participants commuting up to four
times a week f or extra train-
ing to help them excel.
Proponents for military science courses say that making
them available at CSUSM
will save ROTC members
currently driving to SDSU
on a weekly basis drastic
amounts of time and money.
In the case of former
ROTC member-Jeff Gutowski, commuting to San Diego
cost him $2000 a semester in
gas. While financial aid was
able to help with the expenses, Gutowski says that many
members have to drop out
of the program because they
cannot afford the gas on their
own.A student that wants to
complete the ROTC program must finish it within
.four years, or five years if
they have an approved special major. This adds an even
greater sense of urgency for
students to build the rest of
their class schedule around
when the ROTC courses they
need are offered. However,
students must also graduate
with a college degree in order
to ensure that they meet all
qualifications necessary for
pursuing a job in the armed
forces post-graduation.
ROTC participants performing color guard at the Cougar baseball game. They w ork hard inside and outside of the
classroom t o obtain their college degree and establish experience and understanding, while participating in military
training. This image and more can be found at http://csusnrwrmyrotc.weebly.com/.
"I had to quit because I
didn't have enough time to
graduate, and because of the
cost factor," Gutowski said.
" I'm such an advocate [of
ROTC] because it is such a
good program. It teaches you
things you can't get around
school. But some students
have to be down to SDSU
by 6 a jn. They are there for
three hours and then have
to rush back to CSUSM for
a 10:15 class, and are on
campus as late as 8 p.m. so
that they can get the rest of
their classes they need. The
commute limits their ability
to actually invest in the program."
David Casas, who has
stayed in the program and
still commutes to SDSU on
a regular basis, echoed similar sentiments about how the
time and financial burden
have negatively impacted
his experience. Casas, who
graduates this semester, is
working towards a career in
the Air Force.
"To compete, you have
to put in extra time and effort to your responsibilities
and take the initiative to get
them done. The day you join,
you're in charge of people.
Learning to manage people
requires a lot of face time,
so I have be there for three
hours, twice a week," Casas
said. "It's a lot of management right off the back. And
you have to make sure that
you yourself are competitive
so that you can work towards
a career as a pilot, nurse, or
any other professional career
you want. You have to promote yourself so that they
see that you are worth the
Air Force's dollar f or them
to invest in you."
Critics of having military
science courses on campus
argue that integrating them
into the university course
catalogue would be a step in
the wrong direction. Opponents say that the military's
message of bloodshed and
violence are not as productive on a college campus as
offering nonmilitary and diplomatic solutions.
"[CSUSM] has a different
purpose for our existence.
We are not about military
engagements. I 'm always
sympathetic to students of
how difficult it is to piece
together work, classes, family and personal time. It's
not that I totally don't hear
that issue," Sociology Dept.
Chair, Dr. Sharon Elise, said.
"But that's not what the CSU
means or what we came here
to build. This is the people's
university and we can show
people other options they
(Military science continued

Political Corner
Health care law changes point to college students
B Y SARAH HUGHES
NEWS EDITOR
Recent changes involving
health care have many concerned and. questioning, but
information regarding the
Affordable Care Act may
look different depending on
whether one is a student or
the supporter of a large family.
Under the Affordable Care
Act, everyone must enroll
for health insurance or pay
a fee as of Jan. 2014. The
fee is scheduled to increase.
The 2014 annual penalty is
$95 for the individual, with
up to a family maximum
of $285 or 1 percent of the
family income, whichever
is greater. The 2016 annual
penalty is extended to $695
M I NEXT ISSUE
M ar 5 , 2 0 1 3
for the individual, with up to
a family maximum of $2,085
or 2.5 percent of the family
income, whichever is greater.
In three years time, that is a
$600 increase for the individual without health insurance.
Though the pre-paid student health- fee allows enrolled CSUSM students to
receive free basic services
for colds, physical exams,
cryotherapy, biopsies, immunizations and other ailments,
it is not health insurance.
"You do not need health
insurance to utilize Student Health and Counseling
Services. However, supplemental health insurance
is strongly recommended
. . . We strongly urge you
to maintain health insur-,
ance," Student Health and
Counseling's information on
health insurance states.
The Student Health and
Counseling Services page
has links f or applying for
health insurance through
CSUSM and information
about it. If a student is covered by their parents' insurance, they don't need to get
it through CSUSM. Covered
CA lists the Affordable Care
Act's changes for customers as "more health insurance options," "protection
for consumers," "fines f or
no coverage," "affordable
coverage and financial assistance," "increased coverage"
and "what businesses will
need to do."
."All health insurance plans
(not counting most plans sold
before March 10,2010) must
provide health insurance for
individuals and their, families |
even if someone has a health
condition such as diabetes or
asthma. That health insurance cannot be dropped if
someone gets sick," Covered
CAsaidi
If one follows the CSUSM
Student Health and Counseling Services health insurance page, they will see a
list of available policies provided through Wells Fargo
Insurance Services. The insurance options are based on
whether a student is a U.S.
Citizen, an International student or other options.
A domestic student who is
a U.S. citizen can get health
insurance through Anthem
Blue Cross with a deductible of $250 per insured person, or $750 per family. The
available student dental plan
is $196 for the annual rate,
covering Sept. 1, 2013 to
Sept. 1, 2014. It i s also run
through Anthem Blue Cross.
Eligible enrollees for the
domestic campus medical
plan must meet certain requirements.
"Regularly
matriculated
students who are enrolled in
nine or more credit hours or
registered graduate students
are eligible to enroll. All eligible students must have paid
fees to the University, and be
actively attending classes on
main campus," according to
the Student Health'Insurance
Domestic Medical Plan flyer
available through the Student
Health and Counseling Services link.
If a student does not have
insurance through a parent
and can't afford the campus
policies, they may qualify
for Medi-Cal.
"Covered California will
help individuals and families
determine whether they may
get federal financial assistance that will cut the cost of
health insurance or whether
they qualify for free health
insurance through MediCal," Covered CA said.
Insurance plans are prohibited from placing lifetime
limits on coverage. Other
changes seem aimed to help
students obtaining insurance
through school plans.
"If you are on a school plan
and undergo a severe medical issue, you'll be covered
no matter how high your
medical costs are," USA Today reported.
Changes to health care are
numerous, but whether a
family's breadwinner or an
individual, it's clear the affordable care act means all
students and adults must enroll in health insurance soon.

Lectures to shecl light on cancer cause and treatments
B Y RYAN DOWNS
STAFF WRITER
Every year, the science faculty on campus work together to provide an event series
meant to spread the word
about the latest innovations
from scientific minds, and
Spring 2014 is no different.
For the upcoming semester,
the Department of Physics
is debuting a lecture series
called "Frontiers in Science"
in celebration of such innovations, which kicked off
on Feb. 6 and will continue
through May 1. Each lecture
focuses on a different matter
in the forefront of science,
covering topics from disease, to food, to the Internet.
An expert in that very field
is scheduled to speak at each
lecture. One vital subject the
lectures will cover are discoveries related to treating
cancer.
. The series kicked off last
week with "The Targeted
Delivery of Chemotherapeutics to Tumors," with Dr.
Dowdy Jackson, the Principal Scientist/Assistant Director at Agensys. Jackson
has worked with companies
at the forefront of the development of pharmaceuticals,
meant to combat cancer. During the lecture, he described
the process of enabling the
body's antibodies to target
cancerous cells within the
body with impressive preju-
dice; allowing the treatment
to reach the harmful cells
without damaging too many
of the healthy ones. This
treatment, which has recently begun adoption at medical
centers, helps deal with some
of the more harmful side effects of chemotherapy.
Dr. Jackson was keen to
remind that the company and
its scientists are still working
on a litany of projects using
similar technology.
"It's one of the exciting
new breakthroughs for cancer patients," Jackson said.
"There's two [treatments]
already out there, but there's
a whole lot we've been developing right now that are
making their way through
the pipeline."
However, Jackson is just one of
the many experts
who can be expected this series,
which continues
on Feb. 27 with a
lecture on "Social
Media Helping
Global Disaster
Response (in 140
Characters
or
Less)" with Dr.
Eric Frost, in Arts
240.
The rest of the
lectures will be
held during UHour in Science
Hall 2, Room 242.

President reports to the community
CSUSM c ontinues to grow at a fast pace
"Our goal . . . was
to raise educational
rates in our region*
--Karen Haynes
In the President's Report
to the community, Karen
Haynes gave her 10th annual address, relating the accomplishments and future of
CSUSM to community leaders.
The event was held Thursday, Feb. 6, in an Event Pavillion set up in Lot N. The
report discussed the achievements of the students, faculty and programs. Haynes
presented many stories of
successful students to, illustrate the impact of CSUSM
programs.
The fuschia-suited Haynes
began with a recap of how
CSUSM has grown under
her leadership since her
start Feb. 1, 2004. About the
struggle to become a modern
education model during a recession, Haynes said, "Could
any of us have imagined how
far, how fast we have come?"
To illustrate CSUSM's
growth,
Haynes
went
through a list of what had

goals CSUSM is working towards, including more campus space and the desire to
improve educational rates in
the region.
"Riverside and San Diego
counties are among a handful of counties in California
that have experienced a moderate or even robust growth
in high school graduates,"
Haynes said. "However, the
statistics show that most of
the growth is in populations
not expected to go past high
school, if that far. Statistics
also indicate that California
will be short one million college educated workers by

Hayne's goal to increase

touched on the Ace dollars
service program for former
foster youths, as well as other vital causes.
"We now educate more

Army ROTC program on

definition of what military
science courses are, 110 participants said that they would
be interested in taking the
courses, 56 participants answered that the classes were
of no interest and 73 participants said they would want
to learn more information
about them before deciding.
Finally, participants were
asked if they would be opposed to other CSUSM students taking military science
courses. 232 participants
answered that they were
not opposed, and seven participants answered that they
were opposed. Two students
chose to comment on the
last question, one participant
stating that they were neither
for nor against military science courses because there
had not been sufficient communication and information
provided about the classes.
"We have enough military

Basketball playoff excitement nears
Men's basketball looking t o capitalize on near perfect season. T here is one more home game for the Cougars this season. Photo montage of the February 11 game provided by Anne Hall.
B Y JUSTIN DONNER
SPORTS EDITOR
The student union is the
"poster child" of rapid
growth for the CSUSM campus, and men's basketball is
the same for the athletic department.
It may be time for the administration to put combining the two into full throttle
and build an arena on campus for.the team to play in for
their home games.
• The Cougars practice at a
local Boys and Girls Club
right up the street from campus. Their home games are
not really at home, but they
are around 12 miles away
at MiraCosta College of
Oceanside.
This is a small facility with
a large Spartan logo, the
community college's mascot,
painted at center court. At
first, it sounds like the recipe
for a mediocre program but
that couldn't be further from
the truth.
With only three years of
existence, the Cougars are
currently No. 1 in the NAIA
national rankings, own a
27-1 overall record and have
the longest current winning
streak in NAIA Division I
with 18.
When asked about a comparison with last year's season, Coach Saia was nothing
but ecstatic .
"Last year's team has a lot
to be proud of. This year's
team might be just a bit deeper, more mature in spots and
bigger in size," Coach Saia
said.
The Cougar's recently
played Bethesda at home and
finished with a 93-54 victory.
Not only were the starters
one point, but as always, the
bench made some noise.
Of the 14 total 3-pointers
for CSUSM, 6 of them came
from Zack Zaragoza off the
bench. Zaragoza also had a
game high of 18 points.
In regards to keeping his
focus coming off the bench,
"It's visualization and mental preparation for the game.
I see myself making my
shots and giving it my all out
there," Zaragoza said.
The seniors of the team
will be recognized in an exhibition game against St.
Katherine Saturday, March 1
at 7:30 p.m.
From there the Cougars
have their eyes on a conference tournament in Georgia
and a National Championship in Kansas City.
"Kansas city is the top 32
team of the NAIA. You have
to win 5 games in 6 or 7 days
to win a national title. That's
the golden prize and that's
what we are shooting for,"
Coach Saia said.

Hiking Mt. Woodson is
something many people like
to do, not just for the awesome view, but also to get
an epic photo on Potato Chip
Rock for their Facebook or
Instagram.
Coming up the mountain
from either side offers an enjoyable challenge, as well as
rewarding scenery.
One way to begin the trek
is to start at Lake Poway.
Parking is free during the
winter, but the gates to the
recreational area do close, so
it's important to be mindful
of the hours.
More information about
Lake Poway's seasonal hours
and parking fees can be
found at http://www.poway.
org/Index .aspx?page= 1615.
Restrooms and water fountains are located in the recreation area, but it is important
to take water on the hike due
to there being no facilities on
the trails.
Plenty of signs are positioned around the lake to
show where the trails go and
how to get to the Mt. Woodson trailhead. The trip con-

sists of well-maintained dirt
and rock trails.
The beginning of the journey is relatively level around
the lake until reaching the
trailhead. As the incline of
the trail increases, markers
continue to dot the path to
the summit to inform hikers
which way to go, what trail
they are on and how much
farther they have t o go. Just
before reaching the summit which has power towers
scattered around it, Potato
Chip Rock will be on the left.
Another place to start the
ascent is near the fire station
off of the 67 highway. Parking on fire station property is
prohibited but the shoulder
is plenty wide enough to accommodate many cars, and
there are lots of signs to point
out where the trail begins.
Gallego
The route from this side of
the mountain is steeper, but
it is paved, shorter and it is
even possible to do at night,
especially when there is a full
moon. There are no facilities
at the base or along the route
so it is critical to bring plenty
of water.
This trail meanders up and
through many huge boulders
that dwarf hikers and intrigue rock climbers. While
navigating the switchbacks,
it may even be possible to
spot rock climbers tackling
these giant boulders.
Either trail offers plenty
of spectacular views and a
great workout. Furry friends
are also invited to enjoy the
toils. Mt. Woodson is a perfect day hike for anyone in
need of fresh air and an adventure.

As entrepreneurs, the classes
taught across the entire business program proved to be
valuable for the couple.
"Having a solid, broad
base of business knowledge
is critical to anyone hoping to start their own business. Small business owners
wear many hats and you will
need the breadth of knowledge from those Foundation
Classes," Sarah said.
Sarah maintains relationships with many of the professors from the College of
Business
Administration,
and she is currently creating
projects with a couple professors for their classes.
The steps Sarah has taken

Bringing attention to an 'Invisible Threat'
S tudent
film
B Y KATLIN SWEENEY
E DITOR-IN-CHIEF
A group of film production students f rom Carlsbad
High School have taken on
the controversy over whether
vaccinations are effective investments or foundation for
disaster.
"Invisible Threat," the latest installment in the talented
teenagers' series of eyeopening documentaries, explores the variance of opinions that arise when parents
contemplate the best way to
take care of their children.
They interviewed families,
physicians and experts about
what the positive effects of
vaccination are, as well as
discuss the myths of how
harmful they are to children.
"Invisible Threat" was created entirely by students,
directed by Douglas Green,
written by Camille Posard
and narrated by Mark Huckaby. Like their past projects,
it was funded by the Rotary
Club, with no stipulations on
their part .
. *'It is done entirely by high
school . students, without
p oses
i mportant
any influence from adults.
They did the research and
interviewing, they wrote the
script» and it's very exciting.
After the screening, we will
have speakers such as a couple physicians and someone
with a biology background.
We're^ really promoting
health literacy," one of the
coordinators of the event, Dr.
Laura de Ghetaldi, said.
The young filmmakers
have found controversial
topics to be their niche in the
documentary realm. Before
"Invisible Threat," their first
film was on the survivors of
the Holocaust. This was followed by "One in Seven,"
which took a critical look
at the fact that at the time of
filming, one in seven people
in North County had hunger
insecurities. By the time of
production, the figures had
changed to one in five people and one in four children.
Their next project will be
about SeaWorld and killer
whales.
The screening of "One in
Seven" at a film festival is
what created the link between Dr. Laura de Ghetaldi
q uestions
and Lisa Posard, the mother
of one of the filmmakers. De
Ghetaldi called Posard to introduce herself, thus spiraling into the CSUSM Kinesiology Club's partnership
with Donate Don't Dump and
now the screening of "Invisible Threat" on campus. This
is thanks to multiple partners
with Kinesiology Club, Dr.
de Ghetaldi citing Hugo Lecomte and the Rec Center as
one of their biggest supporters for the event.
Invisible Threat is being
shown across the country,
arid students have the opportunity to watch the film for
themselves. It will be shown
on campus from 7 p.m. to
8:15 p.m. on Tuesday, March
4 in Clarke Grand Salon,
Room 113. Students can also
view the film from 5 p.m. to
6:15 p.m. on Wednesday,
March 5 at Temeku Cinemas
in Temecula. Temeku Cinemas is located at 26463 Ynez
Rd, Temecula, CA 92591.
Both screenings are f ree.

Walking into Fratelli's we
were greeted by a big smile
from the hostess and the
owner, who invited us right
in.
Fratelli's is the new restaurant that opened up in Restaurant Row of San Marcos.
Fratelli's means "brothers"
in Italian, and that's exactly
what these two owners are.
Brothers Brandon and Austin Lorbert started this Italian
restaurant that emphasizes
homemade ingredients made
daily, and authentic Italian
cuisine.
The atmosphere has a family-oriented flair with a warm
and rustic quality, including
wooden beams that surround
the restaurant .
They had several rooms,
including a bar, and even
a private banquet room for
those special occasions. The
service is welcoming and effortlessly attentive, sure to
make anyone feel at home.
We started with their
mouthwatering
Burrata
Caprese ($13.95), an heirloom tomato and burrata
mozzarella caprese appetizer
drizzled with a balsamic vinaigrette glaze and garnished
with micro basil that was
earthy and fresh. We paired
this with their house Chardonnay, which had hints of
apple, oak and blossom to
compliment the starter. Their
wine has their own Fratelli
label and is made from OneHope Winery.
Next was their Classic Caesar salad ($5.95). Fratelli's
makes their own homemade
creamy tart dressing as well
as garlic savory croutons.
This salad was unlike any
other, topped off with freshly
grated parmingiano cheese.
This was paired with the
house Sauvignon Blanc that
was sweet, bright and refreshing.
Following was an heirloom
tomato bisque ($3.95 for
a cup, $5.95 for a bowl), a
hearty soup full of onion and
garlic flavor.
To accompany the entrée
we had the house Cabernet
that was smooth and rich.
The main course was a perfectly cooked and very generous portion of salmon piccata ($24.95), accompanied
with steamed asparagus and

Muslim Student Association
addresses misconceptions
B Y AMBER MAHMOOD
CONTRIBUTOR
The CSUSM Muslim Student Association (MSA)
aims to increase knowledge,
growth and awareness of Islam, not only on the campus,
but to the community as a
whole.
The term Muslim is often
falsely associated to terrorism by many outside of the
Islamic community.
Many individuals form this
misunderstanding from the
constant anti-Islam media
portrayals.
Others simply do not know
where to access correct in-
formation to educate themselves on the matter, or are
afraid to confront those of
Muslim faith to ask them.
Although there may be many
reasons, ultimately the majority of American society is
unaware of the true concepts
and practices of Islam.
"If anyone asked me about
Islam, I would want them to
know that it is a religion of
peace. The word Islam itself
means peace."
The MSA also aims to
form long lasting relationships and provide support for
its members, which includes
Muslims and individuals of
other faiths.
Since the association's es-
tablishment a few years ago,
the MSA continues to grow.
The MSA has also become
active in partaking in community service events, on
campus meetings, other fun
events, as well as educational events in which acclaimed
scholars are invited to share
their insight on intriguing
topics.
Individuals interested in
learning more about Islam,
meeting people of the Islamic faith or attending one
of our various events should
visit http://www.csusm.edu/
orgs/muslimstudentassociation.html or send us an email
at msa.csusm@gmail.com.

InterVarsity connects campus through
community and spirituality
B Y N OELLE FRIEDBERG
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
InterVarsity Christian Fellowship is an international
organization that focuses on
campus ministry with vision
"to see students and faculty
transformed, campuses renewed and world changers
developed."
A collection of athletes,
Greeks, international students and people just trying
to graduate, who all come
together with this one shared
desire: to know Jesus and to
make Him known.
My first experience with
InterVarsity was two years
ago. As a new student, it is
often just easier to go to class
and then leave campus rather
than try to make new friends.
That is where InterVarsity
came in. I started going to
their events and was instantly amazed by how loving
and encouraging the community is. They made me feel
so welcome that I just had to
stick around.
One of the best things about
being a part of InterVarsity is
that every spring break they
do this thing called Mark
Camp. It's a week on Catalina Island, where members
spend time going through the
Bible and going deeper into
the gospel of Jesus through
the book of Mark. Some of
my fondest memories of college and lasting friendships
have been made there. Every Wednesday they have a
weekly meeting called Large
Group where a speaker
shares a message. They also
have various Bible studies
on campus throughout the
week. The Bible studies really focus on being a place
of encouragement, and are
a great place to make new
friends and connect to campus life.

Truth about Twitter
Company tax breaks raise alarm
B Y L A U R E N H AMMOND
OPINION EDITOR
.
Many students at CSUSM
probably have a Twitter account, but likely are unaware
of the company's questionable history.
Twitter was first formed
in 2006. Since its debut and
coining of the legendary
"Tweet," the social networking site has seen a rapidly
growing user base. As of late
2013, the company has been
estimated to be worth 31 billion dollars.
Since its opening, Twitter headquarters -has been
located in San Francisco,
CA. In 2011, the company
was threatening to move
locations but was offered a
six-year payroll tax break
to maintain its California
residency. More recently,
the city agreed to stop taxing
Twitter stock options. Calcu" lations suggest that since the
initiation of the company's
tax breaks, Twitter has saved
over 50 million dollars.
Twitter currently resides in
San Francisco's Mid-Market
area. Alongside the "Twitter Tax Break," the city has
also included tax incentives
to any other companies that
moved to Mid-Market, a preA viously undeveloped area,
and has seen tremendous
corporate growth.
Much of the money Twitter has saved due to tax incentives could have gone
towards improving the city's
public transportation, health,
education and more. Aside
from major losses in city revenue, Twitter has had absolutely no involvement in giv-
> o r t e s t i n g in,
community. Twitter, along
with fifteen other companies
residing in the Mid-Market
area, has also been affecting
neighboring residential communities.
The technical industries
within the Mid-Market area
have aided in an increase
of property valuer With the
high request for office space,
many residential property
owners have also been forced
to sell, causing a large number of home evictions,
Several activist groups
including South of Market
Community Action Network, Senior and Disability
Action, Eviction Free San
Francisco and the San Francisco Housing Rights Commrttee have joined forces
with local workers and residents tofightback. A number
of protests have taken place
outside of the Twitter headquarters and throughout the
Mid-Market area to express
outrage for the companies'
tax breaks.
It is important that social
networking users understand
the implications associated
to their Twitter memberships. Until Twitter realizes
the injustice of their actions,
users are unconsciously participating in the corporate
conglomerate's indifference
to the general public. This
is not an uncommon practice for multi-billion dollar
corporations to take advantage of lower-income demographics. Although this does
not directly affect CSUSM
students, it does harm communities similar to ours and
that is something to consider.

The Uterus Flag Project creates shock, awe and amazement
BY ANNE HALL
DESIGN EDITOR
Walking into the student
library, I was anticipating a
cloud of people showing interest in this blatantly titled
project. The campus library
released the Uterus R ag
Project on Feb. 10 and will
remain until May 20. This
installation, provided by
Terilynn Quick, is a compilation of small flags that are
adorned with uterus made by
people from all over the nation. So much detail in each
piece.
The space was like a ghost
town. I was in awe at the
ideas shared by artists who
addressed the issues behind
women's health and the
blessings that exist with being a woman and having the
ability to conceive.
While finding myself impressed and awe struck, I
noticed that I was being
watched. Passer by's were
laughing at me for admiring
the artists work. Others appeared to avoid the display,
as if they would catch some
kind of disease if they came
too close.
A friend of mine decided
to draw attention to passers by and lured individuals to come and consider the
artwork. Once one person
started admiring Terilynn's
presentation, more and more
lipsticks having dangerous
amounts of lead in them.
Even the supposedly natural
mineral-based makeups contain small particles of mica
that we can inhale, which
Forbes online magazine puts
into perspective by pointing
out that construction workers have to wear masks when
dealing with mica.
While women have more
products that expose them to
these dangerous chemicals,
men aren't safe from the
danger. Aftershave, cologne,
shaving cream and shampoos are just a few of the
items that men use that fall
under the same category as
all of the other beauty products. These products contain
as many chemicals as the
products women use and are
regulated in the same way,
putting men at as much risk
as women,
I think that it is wrong
that there are no regulations
within the beauty industry,
The food that we eat has regulations placed on it, so why
not the items that we cover
our skin with? I believe that
we should have the right to
know exactly what is in the
products we use. I also think
that cosmetic companies
should strive to eliminate
as many of these chemicals
from their products as possible in order to provide their
loyal customers with healthier products,
If you want to check the
ingredients and the risk fac- ..
tors associated with the products you use, a good place
to start is the Skin Deep
Database, http://www.ewg.
org/skindeep/, created by
the Environmental Working
Group. That is just one small
step towards knowing your
products better so you can
make an informed decision
on whether to continue using
that product,
people began finding interest. Once the pieces were noticed, interest was struck and
people began admiring all of
the display.
"The art work is amazing,"
student, Erin Taylor, said.
This is a presentation that
truly touches the core of existence. Take a moment to
observe and appreciate the
artistry and creativeness.

One of the better things
about Netflix is its showcase
not only of westernfilms,but
also foreign films. This allows martial arts movies that
normally would go straightto-DVD, like "Ip Man" or
"The Raid: Redemption," to
become surprise cult hits.
Standing in the middle of
these, in a bold attempt to
merge both western and international audiences alike,
is "Man of Tai Chi ." It is primarily a Chinese martial arts
film. However, it features
American star Keanu Reeves
in two uncommon roles; the
villain and, for the first time
in his career, the director.
The story attempts to tell a
martial arts legend in a contemporary setting. It focuses
the story on Tiger Chen
(Chen Hu in his film debut),
a young practitioner of Lin
Kong Tai Chi, an ancient
Chinese method of exercise
and meditation. However Tiger comes to learn that this
peaceful art can be applied in
combat as well.
It is stunningly effective,
even though it strays from
the art's purpose. Nonetheless, it is not long before
Tiger attracts the attention
of Donaka Mark (Reeves),
the head of an underground
fightingring.He sees Tiger's
potential and tempts him
with money and fame. Tiger
needs it to save his master's
temple from demolition.
It is not long before Tiger's
involvement with the fighting ring begins to corrupt
his character. Worse still, it
becomes clear that Mark is
conditioning him into something deadlier than just another fighter. It may be too
late for him to escape.
For the most part, the film
works for the same reason
Keanu Reeves works. I t's,
simple, cool and strangely
likeable. On the other hand,
like the actor, it tends to get
awkward when it tries too
hard and there are some embarrassingly silly moments.
However, Reeves is understated as ever both in front
of, and behind, the camera.
Coupled with some awesome fight choreography
from Hollywood legend
Yuen Wo Ping, the end result
is a straightforward but enjoyable action flick.

'Friday Night Lights', 'The League' keep gridiron going during off-season
B Y AMANDA LENOX
FEATURES EDITOR
The first few Sundays after
the Super Bowl are always
the hardest for football fans.
However, Netflix has some
football themed shows* to
help fill up your time while
you wait for the next season
to start.
One show I highly recommend is the drama series
Friday Night Lights. The
show focuses on head coach
Eric Taylor (played by Kyle
Chandler) as he helps lead
the high school football
team, the Dillon Panthers, to
the Texas State Championship. Viewers might forget
they aren't watching a real
football game. You wait in
anxiety to see if the team
makes the play and cheer in
excitement for a touchdown.
With an ensemble cast, the
show also looks at the individual players as their lives
are woven together both on
and off the field. The sweet
yet insecure Matt Saracen
(Zach Gilford) struggles with
balancing being the starting quarterback and trying
to date the coach's daughter
(Aimee Teegarden). Fullback
Tim Riggins (Taylor Kitsch)
is the bad-boy character who
tries to prove he is more than
a stereotype. Throughout the
series, the players deal with
issues including steroid use
and college recruitment.
Friday Night Lights is a
critically acclaimed series
with two Primetime Emmy
wins, including Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama
Series (Kyle Chandler) and
Outstanding Writing for a
Drama Series. It has 76 episodes within five seasons
available on Netflix.
The second season is the
only lackluster season because of its multiple dull storylines. Recommended episodes include: "Mud Bowl"
in Season I , "There Goes the
Neighborhood" in Season 2,
"The Son" in Season 4 and
"Always" in Season 5.
One of the best parts of
football is the way it can
bring together a community,
whether you are tailgating
at a stadium or watching
the game with family and
friends. Friday Night Lights
will remind you of that feel-
ing and will prepare you for
the next football season. I
give Friday Night Lights a
4.5/5 rating.
Another football-themed
show to watch is the comedy
series The League. The show
follows friends, Pete Eckhart (played by Mark Duplass), Rodney Ruxin (Nick
Kroll), Andre Nowzick (Paul
Scheer) and Kevin MacArthur (Stephen Rannazzisi).
Also, Kevin's brother, Taco
(Jon Lajoie) and wife, Jenny
(Katie Aselton) as they all
play each other in their fantasy football league.
The show has a raunchy
style of comedy as the friends
argue over things like draft
picks and trades. The series
is also abundant with notable
NFL guest stars, including
San Diego Chargers player
Antonio Gates in Season 1
episode "Mr. McGibblets."
There are currently 45 episodes within four seasons
available on Netflix. Recommended episodes include:
"The Shiva Bowl" in Season
1 and "The Marathon" in
Season 2 .1 give The League
a 3.5/5 rating.

A Spike Jonze love story: 'Her'
'American Gods': a modern lore and timeless tale
B Y A LEX MARAVILLAS
FASHION COLUMNIST
In a future where you can
fall in love with an artificial
intelligence behind an advanced operating system, the
film "Her" portrays a tragic
love story of a man and his
computer.
Theodore Twombly is in
love with his operating system named Samantha, essentially an evolved Siri.
Thefilmdefinitely approaches the dramatic question,
"Could love have no boundaries?" There are countless
moments in which Theodore
and Samantha demonstrate
character development in regards to their relationship, a
unique characteristic of this
fascinating movie.
B Y K ATIE GARNER

STAFF WRITER
The film also boasts a
cast of well-known actors.
Joaquin Phoenix play s Theodore and Scarlett Johansson
plays the voice of Samantha.
Rooney Mara plays Theodore's ex-wife Catherine and
Amy Adams plays Theodore's friend Amy.
The "Her" soundtrack especially adds sentiment to
the film. Film soundtracks
are just like mixtapes by the
directors. Spike Jonze's mixtape for "Her" is definitely
appropriate for this teaijerker
of a film. For example, Ka-

ren O's song plays a prominent role in the film during
a scene where Theodore and

The film has its heart-filled
moments. When Samantha

Myths and legends are the
odd ingredients that shape us,
and our cultures.
Religions follow humanity wherever we go. America
contains some of most divergent beliefs and cultural
systems in the world. Starting with tales told by Native Americans, mythologies
have poured into America
via the mass migration from
settlers worldwide. What if
every one of these old gods
were alive and struggling to
survive in this country?
Neil Gaiman asks this question in his novel, "American
Gods." The story follows the
reticent Shadow, an ex-con
who upon his release from
prison finds that his wife
has died. Alone and without
a home, Shadow meets Mr.
Wednesday, a mysterious
con-man who offers Shadow
a job as his bodyguard.
Soon Shadow's world turns
upside down as he discovers
that all Gods not only exist,
but exist amongst humans
and are preparing for war.
The Old Gods are clashing
with the New Gods, which in
America are represented by
the various deities of Media,
^Technology and the Black
Hats. Mr. Wednesday, who
reveals himself early on as an
incarnation of Odin, recruits
Shadow to rally the Old Gods
against the New Gods. But
in a country where beliefs
are shrinking every day, can
Shadow help these Old Gods
survive?
"American Gods" is a
powerful, enchanting story
etched with folklore in every
page. Lovers of fantasy fiction will adore this novel tremendously. This book is ripe
with myths from cultures all
over the world-Neil Gaiman
weaves a poignant, but humorous* tale that starts off at
a slow pace that soon dives
right into a journey that will
you keep you entertained and
thoughtful. "American Gods"
has won multiple prestigious
awards, including the Hugo,
Nebula and Locus awards.

The CSUSM men's basketball team will be heading
to Kansas City to compete
in the National Associates

(NAIA) Division I Championship tournament as the
number one seed.
Led by head coach Jim
Saia, CSUSM finishes the
regular seasons with a 30-1
record, winning their first

CSUSM defeated life in

Malcolm Lemmons said,
"Our camaraderie; we're a
close knit group on and off
the court."
Lemmons contributed a
double-double in the final
game.
"I do anything I can to help
the team win. If coach needs
me to rebound or play defense, I do anything I can to
meet our goal," he said.
"It's nice tofinallysee the
hard work is actually paying off. We made a name for
ourselves the first year, got
ranked the second and getting ranked number one this
year; it feels good," three-
year veteran, Brian Emmanuel, said.
The Cougars are headed for
a week of a challenge with
the tournament being filled
with the nation's best players
at the small collegiate level.
Thirty-two teams are slated
to compete for the NAIA Division I Championship title
through March 25.
CSUSM's number one
ranking leaves the rest of
the league anticipating some
great competition.
"It's a great feeling, but we
know rankings don't mean
anything when going into the
tournament and every team's
going to be gunning for us,
so it's like we got a c)iip on
our shoulder," Lemmons
said. "We just have to go in
there and play hard and take
it day by day."
When asked if there were
any specific teams to look
out for, Emmanuel said there
was not.
The Cougars' selfless offense and defensive prowess
gives the team a well-deserved confidence going into
the tournament.
CSUSM Cougars are set
to play the thirty-second
seed, Oklahoma Baptist, on
Wednesday, March 19 in
round one of the NAIA Division I tournament.

P resident c alls f or i ncrease in f ederal m inimum wage by 2016
By R YAN D O W N S
SENIOR STAFF W RITER
Students may be seeing a
change in their federal and
state based pay checks.
Making minimum wage —
It's arguably one of the most
important things in the life
of a student. For many, it's
what keeps them busy while
they're in school. For many
others, it's the very thing
keeping them in school while
countless individuals rely on
it keeping them alive. The
minimum hourly wage that
businesses are required to pay
employees is a matter of economic importance not just for
San Marcos, but for students
everywhere and it may face
some large changes in the
coming months.
The issue of minimum
wage became a talking point
recently, after a report by the
Congressional Budget Office
elaborated on a plan by the
President to raise the nationwide minimum wage from
$7.25 an hour to $10.10, tentatively by the year 2016. It's
not too difficult to see why. In
the last 14 years, the costs of
education, gasoline, healthcare and living have all skyrocketed, whereas the wage
has remained in a fixed position.
Naturally, this affects many
individuals in the labor force,
but not necessarily in a positive way. According to the
CBO, while the wage in-
crease could make lives easier for upwards of 16 million
'Americans, it is also slated to
cost approximately 500,000
workers their jobs. In other
words, the act would actually
increase unemployment, the
boon being that the already
employed would make more
money. This comes as a result of companies making less
money when customers are
less willing to spend on products that will be more expensive to pay for the workers.
However, the President
remains optimistic, having
acted as the primary force
behind the bill since its inception. While the measure is
expected to pass the primarily
left-wing Senate in March, its

odds of surviving the more
right-wing House are decidedly less hopeful; with many
representatives pointing out
the rather harsh increase in
unemployment.
It's a fair comparison, while
alleviating the effects of the
recession on the more vulner-
N
30Ô3- 2008
able in our society, the initiative could very well make the
recession worse. Some economists beg to differ, like Pension Chairman Tom Harkin,
who stated "workers benefit
from modest increases in the
minimum wage without negative consequences for the low-
wage job market," reminding
individuals that an increase
in revenue and circulation
could very well increase job
potential, cancelling out the
increase in unemployment.
Still, the benefits to those
suffering in the labor force are
undeniable and the increase in
circulation could very well allow the creation of new jobs.
Ultimately, the fate of the
measure depends on its standing in Congress at this point,
which remains to be seen.
California's minimum wage
is itself scheduled to increase
with from $8 to $10 in the
course of three years due to a
biU passed Sept. 12, 2013. It
will increase $1 increments
instead of in one wage hike.

CSUSM's business professor, Dr. Edward Balian, is a
seasoned vet in the world of
business and is the author of
Buddha Plays 18. His book
takes an innovative approach
to teaching the overlooked
skill of being mentally sound
while playing golf.
For business professionals,
golf can be a valuable tool.
You learn so much about
your business partners and
clients by playing golf with
them. The game reveals values, ethics and reaction to
stress. Acts of courtesy are
demonstrated by pulling the
pin at the hole, shooting in
the correct order and a proper attitude while in the lead.

Loma, Cabrillo National
Monument and the many
great trails that surround it
offer terrific views of San
Diego Bay and the Pacific
Ocean.
This national park, which
is the only one in San Diego
County, has two levels to explore for some fun and exercise in the outdoors.
The top level of the park
includes the visitors' center
and the lighthouse. The bay
side trail is a 2.5 mile round
trip hike that starts at the Old
Point Loma Lighthouse and,
not surprisingly, weaves its
way along the bay side of the
park. From this trail, visitors
can pass by old clues to Point
Loma's role and existence
during WWI and WWII. The
journey is filled with sweeping views of the beautiful
harbor and Coronado Island.

Traveling through Europe
B Y EMMA GRACE FAIRCHILD
STUDY A BROAD C OLUMNIST
One of the first things I
noticed upon my arrival in
Stockholm was the trend that
everyone I spoke with had
previously done a lot of traveling.
While it seemed most of
it was contained within Europe, there were also many
people who frequent parts
of Africa, the Middle East
or Southeast Asia. At first
I was intimidated by the
worldliness of so many of
my peers. Then I considered the span of states I have
covered in the US and how
new friends here would press
me about the differences between them. Now, instead of
shame for never having left
the country before this experience, I feel contented that I
have been to eight states and
explored a great deal of California (which is large enough
on its own).
But since I have settled in
Scandinavia, I realize the
proximity of so many unique
cultures, languages and landscapes. There are affordable-flights (less than $75
for round trips sometimes),
boats for cruises to several neighboring countries
and comfortable, affordable
trains as well. Weekends between exams are notorious
for "booze cruises." The al-
Map of Europefrommappinet.com
cohol is cheap and duty free,
and you spend a day in Estonia, Latvia or Finland.
Personally, I have already
spent four days in England
and have a five day trip to
Poland in the works. The decision to go to England was
easy. I have a friend who
lives outside of London that
I really wanted to see (and
who I could stay with for
free). I flew into Gatwick
airport in London. With a bit
of help from the aforementioned friend, I bought train
tickets in advance, which
would deposit me in her
country suburb. Evenlhough
Sweden is, fairly easy to get
around as an English speaking traveler, it was a relief to
see every sign and hear every
announcement in my native
language in England. I ended up spending a three day
weekend playing around the
country side with my friend
and her three dogs, getting
rained on and experiencing
parts of local culture. I tried
traditional 'tea for two' in a
garden restaurant (amazing)
and atefishand chips out of
butcher paper (also amazing).
On my last day, I was able
to spend several hours exploring London itself before
myflightback to Stockholm,
which was a great experience. I chose two places-prior to my arrival and simply
explored, with no destination
or plan. Camden Market was
an interesting experience. I
found it to be a big-city version of Venice Beach, without the body builders. I had a
wonderful time overall, and
can't wait to go back and do
all of the touristy things London has to offer- Big Ben, the
London Bridge, etc. And the
flight was only two hours.
I'm really looking forward
to my trip to Poland. I am going with afriendfrom school
this time, so all of the costs
can be shared and experiences had together. After that, a
cruise to Tallinn in Estonia is
definitely in order, and maybe a trip to the other side of
Sweden to see Gothenburg.
Ultimately, living in the
states gives me proximity to
see other parts of the states,
and living in Europe gives
me the opportunity to see
more diverse and historical
parts of the world.
Provencio said. "It has so
much to offer to clients and
students, but the USU is just
a whole different process.
We have not discovered what
we can do there yet, while at
the Clarke we have had it for
years and know its capacity."
Provencio and Nagel both
work underneath Megan
Simpson, the Professional
Events Planner for the USU
who also works for Events
and Conference Services.
They work to represent the
Events office, Clarke and
Union well through their
hard work and networking
with various individuals and
groups on campus.
"I know a lot of students
involved in various organizations, so it is easier for
me to contact people for
specifics and events. I build
relationships amongst professional staff as well, and
when events happen I introduce myself," Nagel said.
"My name is being presented
in that area, so when people
come in they know who is
running the events within
the building and who they
can ask when they need
things. With the student staff
I supervise, it has helped me
build relationships with people and delegate work. I try
to make their shift as enjoyable as possible since they do
a lot of hard work."
"This job is so socially involved with students, staff
and faculty that you just
meet so many different people. They start to recognize
you on campus and it is good
to build positive relationships with clients because
you work with them multiple times," Provencio said.
"A lot has been expected of
me and I am glad that 1 have
been able to fulfill expectations and to be a good face of
the Union."
Provencio and Nagel strive
for careers in the business
field after graduating from
college. Nagel plans to apply
for a professional management position at the USU at
the end of the semester, when
she graduates with a degree
in business entrepreneurship. She aims to open her
own business in the future.
Provencio aims to secure an
events planning position for
a city or large corporation.
She hopes to eventually orchestrate events that draw
large crowds of people, like
the New York City ball drop
on New Year's Eve or the
Pasadena Rose Parade.

Improper shoes hurt far more than just feet and legs when worn regularly
Recent headlines have
sparked much controversy
in and outside of Hollywood
for the February x issue of
NYT.com, in which Dylan
Farrow's letter addressed
Woody Allen.
The commentaries following the letter lends support to
Farrow, and many of those
commentaries described
similar experiences of sexual abuse without the Hollywood light. I could not help
but ponder the thought of
how we could come to prove
accusations of child abuse?
As a Mexican woman who
experienced child sexual
abuse at the age of seven, I
can attest to the experience
where, based on the lack of
evidence that victims are
sometimes unable to provide,
we are questioned whether
the alleged sexual abuse occurred. Alleged; interesting
word. I cannot think of reasons why a seven year old
would happen to give such a
vivid story of the abuse and
still be questioned. Now, I
do understand that as a society we live under the Rule
of Law, and we are to always
be viewed innocent until
proven guilty. What about if
you cannot prove the guilt?
It is a controversial subject,
especially when concerning
children.
For Farrow's disdain, there
is no form of evidence that
provided enough proof. Then
there is the psychological effect of child abuse that arises

It goes without saying
that foot fashion at CSUSM
comes in multitudes, but
have students considered
how their shoes may be affecting their health?
With the amount of walking CSUSM students do
across campus, it is wise for
them to consider how issues
with their shoes and feet can
contribute to joint issues as
well as hip and back pain.
Shoes with even the slightest
heel can affect the way men
and women walk.
Heeled shoes cause feet
to point in a downward position, putting unnecessary
pressure on the forefoot.
When pressure is placed on
the forefoot, people tend to
lean backward, contradicting
the lower half of the body's
inclined, forward position.
Heals also cause abnormalities in the way people walk
as it limits the foot's natural
function to push against the
ground when stepping.
These walking irregularities have a critical impact on
a person's posture, causing
their spine to flatten: contradicting the spine's natural
s-curvature. Stresses to the
spine further displace the
body's hips by putting too
much pressure on the lower
back. Chronic overuse of the
hip-flexors then leads to excessive force on knee joints.
To alleviate some of the excess pressure on the knees,
the body tends to react by
adjusting the shin inward.
Aside from daily discomfort, continual unnatural
walking habits can even lead
to osteoarthritis in joints. In
all honesty, barefoot is the
best and most natural way to
go. However, due to health
and comfort concerns, many
students are not open to the
idea of going barefoot. If that
is the case, it is imperative
that students begin to look at
what kind of shoes they are
wearing in order-to prevent
long term issues with back,
hip and knee abnormalities.
It is best to avoid or limit
use of heeled and pointed
shoes as well as flip-flops;
pointed shoes and flip-flops
can cause abnormalities in
toe grip, displacing natural
foot rhythms. Instead, students should take the time
to consider shoes that are
comfortable and that aid in
stabilizing the foot before

disregarded in a manner that
is of the smallest expense to
government funding as possible, in hopes of saving the
taxpayers' dollars. Yet in the
long run, this is costing society and the Department of
Veterans Affairs far more in
expenses for being proactive
infindingthese people help.

even though our media acts
like it is over. I get my information from a news page
on Facebook that I follow,
and through word of mouth
when I discuss recent news
with friends and family. I
do not know why the troops
are there. My guess is that
they are keeping a watch
on Al-Qaeda to make sure
they do not attack the U.S.
again," an Events Assistant
at the Clarke and the University Student Union, Gabri
Provencio, said.
"Sequestration and budget
pressures continue to place
unacceptable pressure on
our Army, its soldiers, families and civilian employees.
Military retirement and retiree health care programs are
under attack by those who
view the programs as 'overly
generous' and programs affecting the Army's ability to
train and equip its forces are
whittled away," according to
the Association of the United
States Army (AUSA) News
membership report for 2014.
There is so much to the story still untold. The average
civilian will never have the
capacity to fully understand.
There is no true way of describing the full experience
of tragedy that is suffered by
a soldier or sailor that joined
the service to defend the
rights of his or her people to
find out that their sacrifices
were ignored.
'Far From Afghanistan'
is a film that should not be
missed. This act of humanitarianism does not end with
just the film. Various organizations work with the developers of thefilmto create
public awareness. For more

a member of the lead heroic
team, Romanoff still is an assassin. Punisher writer works
Nathan Edmonson with veteran artist Phil Noto to shed light
on this private and covert side
of Black Widow. The fourth issue was out on March 12.
"Ms. Marvel" - In 2010, writer Brian Reed and his creative
team released the last issue of
"Ms. Marvel." Now, a new
creative team brought back
this series with a new girl role.
Former DC Comics writer, G.

to introduce the new Ms. Marvel, Kamala Khan. Khan is the
first Muslim character of Marvel Universe to receive a solo

are Muslim and work to deliver the teen Pakistani American
superhero. Issue Two will be on

With the scandal from last
year's elections, students
are looking forward to what
interesting things might
happen with the 2013 ASI
elections. So far, ASI Presidential candidate Daniel
Cruz has dropped just a week
before elections started leaving Matt Walsh and Israel
Irizarry on the ballot.
The week of March 25-28,
candidates will be campaigning during U-Hour and in between classes. Signs encouraging students to vote have
already been placed around
campus.
Candidates f or ASI President are competing with
what they believe students
are looking for in an ASI
President. Irizarry, a fourthyear Marketing major who
held the position of College
of Business Administrative
Representative this past year
states, "I've seen the other
side of campus and have met
people I haven't met before.
Therefore I feel there needs
a different face for president,
coming from a different
background."
In his campaign video
Irizarry states "I feel the
communication and diversity
could be improved here."

"the other candidates are
great but I 'm a listener." He
also explains his plans on
how to change this epidemic,
"My major is marketing so I
have that background. I want
to focus on social media like
newsletters, YouTube links,
etc."
Since being actively part
of ASI Board of Directors,
Irizarry knows what it takes
to improve student involvement. "People still don't
know who to go to on campus. I want the students to
know that I am available
through email, phone, text,
Facebook. However, ASI is
the face of the ASI President,
not me. It's a team effort."
Irizarry mentioned how the
controversial Student Success Fee has a miscommunication among students and
the faculty. Walsh, who has
been actively participating
in the process as a student
representative on the Task
Force states, "Well I 'm part
of the Task Force and they
don't have a say. Our goal
is to solicit information to
the students and back to the
Student Fee Advisory Committee (SFAC). We are more
behind the scenes like what
the website will look like or
dates that work for the students."
In addition to his focus
on the Student Success Fee,
Walsh has three main goals,
"There are three groups on
campus that don't have a
voice and they are graduate
students, extended learning
students and the veterans
center. They pay for ASI fees
so they should be given the
appropriate resources. Second, I don't want just one
student sitting on a bunch
of committees but more students to participate. There
The Dream is Now Campaign, following the hopes
of The DREAM Act, is currently holding a contest from
March 5 through April 5 to
encourage students throughout the country to sign an online petition and submit art
(videos, songs, drawings and
poems) displaying their support for The DREAM Act.
The bipartisan legislation,
originally developed by Sen.
Orrin Hatch [R-UT] and Sen.
Richard Durbin [D-IL] aims
to allow undocumented students to be eligible to complete their college degree or
two years of military service
in providing them a 6-yearlong conditional path to citizenship, according to dreamact.info.
The Dream is Now cam-
paign is targeting college
students for outreach in the
hopes of spreading the word
throughout campuses and advocating for reform.
The contest is to win a
chance at screening the
Dream is Now documentary
on the campus of their college or University.
The students who gain the
most* signatures from their
college or university will
also receive an all expenses
paid trip to Washington, D.C.
to watch the premiere* of the
documentary.
TheDreamIsNow.org was
originally created by Laurene Powell Jobs—widow
of the late Apple co-founder
Steve Jobs—and filmmaker
Davis Guggenheim ("An
Inconvenient Truth" and
"Waiting for Superman").

Unfortunately for many
commuter students on campus, the North County Transit District (NCTD) Sprinter
light-rail system is out of
service due to maintenance
issues and safety concerns
with the current braking system.
Effective Monday, March

to be out-of-service for an
unknown amount of time.
NCTD officials have stated
that there is no set date for
when it is expected to resume running.
For students, this means
the reliable train won't be
stopping at its convenient locations for some time.
"It came at a bad time,
having been before school
finished for the semester for
CSUSM students. It is what
it is, though. They can't sacrifice safety and at least they
are providing an alternative
with bus transportation in the
meantime," second-year-student Brett Goudy said.
Since the Sprinter is a main
source for transportation for
many students and residents
ranging from Oceanside to
Escondido, the NCTD has
provided alternate bus routes
to accommodate the lack of
service throughout North
County. Two supplemental
bus routes are the 618 Sprinter Express to travel from the
Oceanside Transit Center to
the Vista Transit Center operating from 4:35 a.m. until
12:18 a.m. (Monday-Friday),
and the 620 Sprinter Express
traveling from the Oceanside
Transit Center to the Escondido Transit Center every 30
minutes beginning at 4:10
a.m. until 9:40 p.m. (Monday- Friday).
To offer further accommodation to passengers,
NCTD staff, also known as
the "Blue Crew" will be stationed to aid passengers with
information to alternative
routes to make the transition
from train to bus easier.
According to Tom Tulley,
the Chief of Safety at NCTD,
a Recovery Task Force has
been assigned to aid information and questions as long
as the Sprinter remains outof-service.
According to the "Backon-the-Track Blog" written
by Tulley, the main issue
causing the Sprinter service
to be temporarily suspended
occurred during testing of
the brakes on March 7. Management was alerted when
maintenance discovered a
potential issue with the brake

SPRINTER FROM I
Rollin' with
UPD
B Y BEN CARLSON
STAFF WRITER
Everyone owes it to themselves to ride along with a
police officer at least once
in their lives, preferably not
after an arrest, of course.
Though I knew the chance
of witnessing some action
on the safest campus in
California would be minuscule, riding with the University Police Department
(UPD) had its moments.
I started the day at the UPD
headquarters where Sergeant
Troy Holmes performed a
quick background check on
me, making sure, as he put it,
"I wasn't a terrorist." I then
took a tour through the building with the sergeant, viewing the UPD holding cells,
interrogation room and the
police armory which stores
most of their weapons. The
most eye-opening room in
the building, though, was
the surveillance room. Dozens of screens fill the dark
room, all of them displaying multiple camera angles
on campus. This room runs
24 hours a day and there
is constant focus on all of
the buildings, hallways,
and walkways on CSUSM.
According to Chief McManus, there has been over
100 cameras installed on
CSUSM since a few years
ago. The rise in surveillance is not just an effort to
keep the campus safe, but
was a response to the Virginia Tech shootings in 2007.
"Virginia Tech changed
everything," the chief said
in between drags of his
cigarette. "Security measures were installed that is
now common on most universities in California."
As for the ride itself, I
cannot seem to convey the
experience of striking fear
into fellow students as they
walked by without some sort
of glee. The joy of wearing
aviators and staring down
students with a stern expression is something every person should experience before
they die. I also found the banter between myself and the
officers enjoyable, though
my stories were pathetic
compared to their own tales
of close calls and heroism.
Despite the quiet day, I enjoyed my time with the officers of the UPD. CSUSM
should be grateful to have
such an outstanding group of
men and women patrolling
the campus. Though we may
not always be thrilled when
a cop rolls by, it doesn't
matter. They can see you

can see you, you'll be safe.

CSUSM addresses the Latino male shortage in education and attepts to find solution
B Y BOBBY RIVERA
STAFF WRITER
The lack of Latino males
in education was the topic of
discussion at the "Changing
Face of the American Educator" symposium conference held earlier this month.
CSUSM addressed the issue
and has taken action by appointing Arturo Ocampo as
the university chief diversity
officer.
The conference at the Mt.
San Jacinto Menifee campus
on Saturday, March 9 was
co-sponsored by Extended
Learning and the local nonprofit group Encuentros
Leadership.
"Encuentros Leadership
was organized in 2003 to
address the alarmingly high
school dropout rates of Latino males within North
County San Diego," Antonio Mora, board chair of
Encuentros Leadership and

Saturday afternoon the
20-2 Cougars 'baseball took
on Point Loma Nazarene
University who will be a familiar foe of the Cougars in
the coming years as CSUSM
leaps into the NCAA.
The Cougars wasted no
time setting the tone for the
first game of the scheduled
doubleheader when they
sprinted out to a 3-0 lead in
thefirstinning. With the bases loaded, Kody Sepulveda
came through with a hard
ground ball to the shortstop
to bring around Kyle Secciani for the score. Kyle Kuck
brought around two more
runs with his single which
found its way in between the
first and second basemen to
take the 3-0 lead.
Kuck came through in the
third inning with another 2
RBI single to the right field
to score Bentson and Belzer
to finish 2-3 with a team
high 4 RBIs. Marcus Meraz
and Mike Guadagnini would
both add 2 more RBIs to put
the Cougars up 7-0 at the end
of the third inning.
PLNU scored 2 more runs
in the seventh inning to pull
within one of the Cougars
before Kenny Belzer belted
a solo homerun to left field
to increase the lead 8-5.
The solo homerun by Belzer
would ultimately be the deciding run in the game as
Point Loma scored 2 runs
early in the eighth to come a
run within the Cougars and
finishing the game 8 - 7 .
The second game was more

This baseball season, our
Cougars have been on their
top game with impressive
win-loss ratio of 2f2-2. The
team has started the season
offrightand by the looks of it,
will end the season even better. The Cougar Chronicle sat
down with one of the team's
pitchers, Hunter Brown, a
right-hand pitcher from Encinitas who is in his junior
year as a business major.
Question: How long have
you been playing baseball?
Answer: I've been playing
my.entire life. I started in
tee-ball and played for a couple teams. I stopped playing
in sixth grade but joined my
high school's team when I
was a senior. I was scouted
by Indiana University when
I was at Grossmont Junior
College.
Q: What is the best thing
about playing a t CSUSM?
A: I like that we have
more freedom, the freedom
to what will make the game
better. The coaches are good
at catering to what the player's skills are and what they
need personally.
Q: How do you balance
athletics and academics?
A: I kind of have to find
the time. It's the same for
any college student, except
baseball takes the place of a
job or working, but it helps
at the same time because I
need to be eligible to play so
it motivates me to do well in
school. I 'm a student first.
Q: Who is your inspiration?
A: My father has always
been there. Ever since I was
a little kid, he would come
to the games and support
me. I 've traveled around
the country for baseball on
his dime so he is really supportive and has given me so
many opportunities I never
thought were possible.
Q: Do you have any pregame rituals to get you
Now Hirin
pumped u p?
A: I usually try to stay
calm and relaxed; I don't
want to get stressed about it.
I've learned to balance my
adrenaline and how to turn
it on or off. I just treat game
days like its practice,, any
other day.
Q: What is your practice
schedule like? Do you have
your own personal regimen?
À: We have practice from
noon - 2:30 p.m., four to six
days a week. I need to take
care of my arm and make
sure it stays in shape or else
my body will break down.
For me, it's year round. Last
year I was playing competitive baseball in Maryland.
Since it was pver summer,
it's not as strict but it kept
me in shape.
Q : What is your f uture
plans with the sport?
A: Ideally, I'd like to get
drafted, but in the meantime
I 'm going to school for a degree in business marketing.

Champions in the community: Dr. Laura de Ghetaldi, The Catholic Club from
a professor who inspires students and faculty alike a member's perspective
B Y CURTIS BOVEE
SENIOR STAFF W RITER
Dr. Laura de Ghetaldi's
relentless commitment to
helping others, combined
with her selfless demeanor,
is truly changing the lives of
many CSUSM students.
Dr. Laura is very involved
on campus. She is a Civility
Champion and the primary
reason for the wonderful
twice a month food distributions at Summit Church,
which has helped feed so
many in need. In addition,
she also co-teaches the kinesiology internship course.
Dr. Laura is always look-
ing for more opportunities
for her internship students.
There aren't many other programs that offer these kinds
of opportunities, and she
ensures that her students are
taking advantage of it. Dr.
Laura makes it her personal
mission to give every student
the opportunity to succeed.
Dr. Laura is unquestionably popular amongst her
students and colleagues. As
a graduating senior, I have
witnessed first-hand the impact that Dr. Laura has on
her students and the CSUSM
faculty. Having developed a
great relationship with her,
she has become a mother to
me in so many aspects of my
life. I honestly cannot recall
one thing she has done that
wasn't for someone else. It
certainly isn't everyday that
you come across someone so
special.
"What makes Dr. Laura
so special is her selflessness,
her eagerness to help others.
Rather than acknowledging
her own accomplishments,
she acknowledges everyone
else's instead. She cares for
all of her students as if they
were her own, and that's
what I love about her. She's
our teacher, advisor, guru,
mom, friend, support system
and inspiration," kinesiology
major and Kinesiology Club
president Junemy Pantig
said.
Dr. Laura not only inspires
others but also finds joy in
what she does.
"Here is the thing, it is a
selfish thing for me when I
give to others. I think I always receive more than I
give," Dr. Laura said.
Dr. Laura embodies the

The Clarke inspires students on ways to take care of
their bodies, and this coming
April they plan to celebrate
this with their annual Wellness Fair.
The 2013 Earth Day Wellness Fair, which will be held
on April 17 at the Clarke,
will showcase new ways tb
promote student wellness
on campus . The idea behind
the fair is to raise this awareness for health and wellness
by giving students new ways

they can physically better
themselves and their environment while celebrating
good health.
In the past, the Clarke has
conducted the fair by working with various local businesses dedicated to health
services in order to reach
students in a unique way.
However, as Melissa
Martinez, coordinator of
the Wellness Fair, pointed
out, there are far more dimensions to "wellness"
than just physical health.
The event is a celebration
of multicultural, occupational, financial and spiritual wellness as well, with
plenty of free food, prizes
and activities for those
who attend.
"This year, the fair is targeted towards Earth Day
and conserving resources
to better our environment,"
Martinez said.
According to Martinez, the
fair is generally successful,
with an average of three hundred students in attendance.
"Specifically, our goal is to
provide information to students as well as a fun, interactive event to get students
together and involved," Martinez said.
The fair is more than just a
fun event for students, however. The fair has historically
been a very successful promoter for local businesses
looking to advertise to students, who can expect a lot
of benefits upon attending .
The Wellness Fair will be
from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
on April 23 at the Clarke and
is free to attend.

The CSUSM Catholic Club
allows myself and other students to learn, embrace and
actively participate in the
Catholic faith on campus.
With the club meeting
every Wednesday night, 7
- 9 p.m. in room 110 of the
Clarke, we have a set time
every week to come together
as a group and discuss our
religion.
"I'm proud to say that my
best friends are people that I
met through Catholic Club. I
have enjoyed seeing the club
grow throughout my four
years at Cal State," Catholic Club President, Andrew
Reed said.
We have rotating scheduled activities such as a
speaker night, a social night,
Bible study night with Matthew Rossio and mass with
Father Patrick from the
Miles Christi religious order,
followed by confessions and
questions for a priest. The
club also occasionally takes
our meetings off campus and
into the community.
On March 13, myself,
and nearly 20 members of
CSUSM's Catholic Club,
walked in silence from our
regular Wednesday meeting
to light candles and pray in
front of stairs of the PPH
medical facility in remembrance of aborted fetuses.
Within the PPH facility is
the North County Women's
Medical Clinic that does offer abortion services.
"It was beautiful, a bunch
of college kids taking a good
chunk of time out of their
schedule to walk to the abortion clinic and pray the rosary; asking for the intersection of our Mother Mary to
protect these babies," club
member, Kaylee Toole said.
"It was a beautiful night with
a great and dedicated community."
The club also ventured out
to a Habitat For Humanity
volunteer project down in La
Mesa on March 22, to help
rebuild a house for the homeless. We put paneling on the
side of the house as well as
planted fresh landscaping
around the yard.
The elub is also in the
process of planning a foodpacking event that is to be
determined sometime in
April.
The Catholic Club also
goes out after our meetings
to In-N-Out Burger or other
local fast food restaurants
to hang out and enjoy a late
night snack together as a
group. The Intervarsity Club
has joined us on multiple occasions.

Sprinter being shut down
causes major inconvenience
B Y J ESSIE G AMBRELL
O PINION E DITOR
As'many of you may be
aware, on the Sprinter's fifth
anniversary of existence they
shut it down for "two to four
months" to repair the breaks.
Many students take the
Sprinter as a means of transportation to get to and from
the university each day. If
you yourself are not a Sprinter rider, I am sure that you
know many people who do.
Given the fact that about 400
CSUSM students a month
ride the Sprinter every day
to get to school according to
the parking and commuter
services. Now that it has shut
down, CSUSM has had to
provide bus support for those
who would otherwise have
no means of getting to campus.
"Having to take the bus
everyday to and from where
the Sprinter would normally
drop you off takes longer,
since there are no certain
times when it comes and
goes," Sprinter commuter
student, Josefa Gregorio said.
Cougar
Ask?
"Plus there are less seats on
the bus than the Sprinter so
you have to stand up. Since
the buses use the freeways,
there is more traffic and there
is more potential for the bus
to break down more often.
My friend got stuck in that
situation."
Knowing how the state
works, the claimed two to
four months of repair will
probably turn into six to
eight months which would
really be an inconvenience to
the students and the school.
Now that we have seen the
other side of the fence, we
realize just how essential the
Sprinter light rail way is to
us and how desperately we
need it back. Hopefully they
can repair the breaks as soon
as possible so that commuter
transit can go back to normal before people get fed-up
with the Sprinter system.
If you have any opinions
on the Sprinter shutting
down, please send them
into
cougarchron^pinion@gmail.com and we can
put them on our website or
our Facebook.

Editors'Topics: Ceasar Chavez Day vs. Presidents' Day?
As you all may well be aware
of, since many students look
forward to their allotted days
off of school; some students
feel they are being robbed of
a day off for Ceasar Chavez
Day and Presidents' Day. Our
school is the only state school
in California that takes Ceasar
Chavez Day off instead of the
national holiday, Presidents'
Day. Many have mixed feelings about this due to the fact
that it falls during spring break.
See what the editors think:
"I am in favor of having
days off in general. TThat
being said, I see it as just for
the school to honor Ceasar
Chavez, especially considering the history with the
school allowing for him to
be honored with the Chavez
Stairs. I find it so curious that
people are getting worked up
over this, when some of them
aren't exactly well versed in
the why." - Copy Editor Keandre Williams-Chambers
"Caesar Chavez Day and
Presidents' Day should be
days that students do not have
classes. I think that if there are
times when we should not go
to school because of a holiday, it should be days where
we are celebrating people
that have made a significant
difference in our fives. However, Caesar Chavez Day
should be a separate day off
from spring break." - Features Editor Katie Sweeney
"We do get presidents
day off during winter break,
the CSU system just celebrates it earlier than the
K-12 school system, we . do
get it off, it's just celebrated
earlier. It's not really choosing between Cesar Chavez
and Presidents' Day since we
get them both off." - News
Editor Melissa Martinez
"Being that Presidents' Day
is a national holiday and Ceasar
Chavez day is memorial day of
sorts; I feel it is unfair that our
school is the only school in the
state that takes Ceasar Chavez
day off instead of Presidents'
Day. True, Ceasar Chavez
was a great man and should
be honored for it, but it does
not mean replacing it with the
national holiday that honors
our great presidents." - Opinion Editor Jessie Gambrell

Friend us on Facebook for the latest CSUSM news
I attended the open forum
for the Student Success Fee
proposal a week or two ago.
After the meeting, I had discussed the option of petitioning to the state as concerned
students, with the director.
She basically informed me
that, "Yes, students have
tried to petition to the state in
the past about funding when
the budget was cut in previous years," and, "No, there
has never been any success."
People are strong in numbers. We're not the only
school that is going through
this, other colleges have already implemented such
fees and students have been
forced to pay. If we were to
petition, we have to make
that petition statewide, or
even national. Going beyond that, we need students
and faculty to join together
from all schools, including
parents and students, even
those that have been denied admission. We should
write detailed letters asking
why the funds need to be
increased, what it is going
towards, and how negatively
we feel that we have to pay
additional fees. Especially
when our tax dollars are supposed to be supporting these
things so that we don't have
to take extra money out of
our pockets to get a decent
education from the State
funded schools.
"Our best investment is
in people and in educating
people. I am very concerned
about the lack of funding at
all levels^ federal, state, and
local. Since taxes pay for
education, the issue is clearly
political. I wouldn't put it
solely on, the government,
though. We all have a stake
in education and we need to
speak up and advocate for
the best possible education
for all of our children. I am
especially concerned about
inequity. Kids in more affluent neighborhoods have
more opportunities than kids
from impoverished neighborhoods. I've never met a
kid who wasn't capable, but
I have met a many kids who
haven't had opportunities
and that really saddens me."
Dr. Merryl Goldberg said.
People are homeschooling
their children more now than
ever because the education
within public school systems
has continued to decline in
quality, as well as continued
to become more and more
unsafe for grades K-12.
Standards in California have
been raised over the years
and no one without a bachelor's degree is going to work
anywhere in this state without starting at or just above
minimum wage for a number
of years without already having work experience and a
degree. Considering we're
one of the most costly states
in the nation, and our state
obligates us to have to commute to do anything within
our cities, the expense of living is already a great burden
on our inhabitants. More and
more youths are being denied the privilege of a higher
education and depleting the
quality of knowledgeable
individuals within our communities.
"Students, young people
are the most basic form of
wealth in our country. They <
are the future and reflect what
will come. People are human
capital that fundamentally
creates wealth. Instead of our
society investing in our own
human capital through education as an investment in
our future and prosperity we
are seeing something downright criminal, with 5 percent
of GDP spent on weapons,
the military and surveillance
of our population as student
debt surpasses credit card
debt. I don't agree that our
government is completely to blame. It's clear the
American population seems
to have limited interest in
changing this situation. With
limited exceptions around
the country, students were silent about the wars, confused
about the economy and seem
to be generally disinterested
in creating change. We have
so many other things to do
with all of our distractions
that we cannot see how the
bigger picture in our lives
has already shifted and don't
realize that intermission is
coming." Professor Marcos
Martinez said.
The government has made
it clear that they are creating this environment on purpose...so as individuals, we
all have to make our positions clear as to how we truly
are being affected. If we are
ignored after showering lobbyists with detailed letters
and statements I 'm afraid to
see what would happen next.

CSUSM did too. I 'm not
complaining, but it's not j ust

professors do as well.
It seems it would have
been more appropriate to
have Presidents' Day off,
instead of Cesar Chavez
Day off even though no one
would have been on campus
anyways. We all have busy
schedules and the university
should give the people on
campus the courtesy of a day
off during the spring semester.

Moreover, this is an American university. Why should

date.
Hot button issue: Campus Ministry USA
Apparently God hates us all
L etter t o t he E ditor
C ampus Ministry U SA has the right t o free speech
To: Editor, Cougar Chronicle and any other interested persons:
With regard to the man (with the atheist sign) and woman (with the bullhorn) on campus
this past Ihesday, March 12,2013:
I respectfully request that they be asked to give up the bullhorn or leave campus when
next they visit. In case no one on staff was aware of their presence, the following is a summary of their actions and the reasons for my request.
The gentleman with the sign was relatively respectful of the CSUSM community. He
simply stood in the common area outside of Starbucks and the Kellogg Library holding a
sign proclaiming, ' It is easy to be an atheist... J can show you proof of God's existence in
the bible." I don't find his actions objectionable and feel if he simply wishes to stand on
campus with a sign; his right to free speech should be acknowledged. An open conversation
regarding opposing views should be encouraged. For example, can he prove God's existence without the Bible? I 'm just asking....
The woman, on the other hand, requires'some education about the CSUSM community
and civility. With bullhorn in hand she stood in the same area outside of Starbucks and
the library yelling about different diseases caused by oral sex, "back door" sex and made
other unsubstantiated claims. I felt that her rhetoric was aimed solely at CSUSM women.
However, she may have been targeting our members of the LGBTQ community as well.
She also spoke of persons who would refute her claims as those who also deny " ...the judgment that is to come."
As for my reasons, they include aspects of civility, mutual respect and freedom of speech
issues. Representatives from different faiths routinely visit our campus and hand out literature. We also have members of the Jewish, Krishna, Christian and Muslim faiths, agnostics and atheists in residence at CSUSM. As students at CSUSM, many of us are just
learning about the critical thinking process and exercising our free will without close parental guidance. Critical thinking and free will are two of the cornerstones of any good
educational process. While many of the visiting and in-house organizations offer information about themselves; they do it in such a way that we exercise our free will in the taking
or leaving of offered literature. We can choose to be part of the conversation.
The woman's bullhorn and the yelling essentially removed us from the conversation and
turned us into a congregation for this woman's opinions. I am unwilling to listen to the
judgments and unsubstantiated medical claims this woman made. I had the option of
walking away. I did. I find it unreasonable and disrespectful of this woman to shut out
involvement of the community using a bullhorn. She has an opinion, I respect that. I don't
respect her way of disseminating it to our community.
We, as students and community members of CSUSM, have the right to embrace or walk
away from groups offering information about themselves. We have the right to offer a reasonable opinion in rebuttal to what we are hearing or reading. I feel that the open exchange
of ideas or opinions is essential for mental growth, civility, understanding and respect.
If CSUSM does not have a policy regarding the actions and behaviors of visiting groups,
perhaps it is time to make one and respectfully escort those visitors who won't comply
with it to the curb. They should be held to the same standards we are when they are in our
community.
Respectfully,
Susanne Montague, student

On the afternoon of March
12, members of Campus
Ministry USA stood around
yelling and preaching about
"man's fallen nature" and our
"inherent sinfulness." Unfortunately, these bitter pilgrims
attracted a large crowd of
students whom they hoped
to convert through their convincing arguments. Among
these brilliant tirades included the insight that all women
are "whores" if they sleep
with a man before marriage.
"She was ridiculous. Calling all males disease infested
individuals," student Christopher Dods said, recounting
listening to one of the female
ministers preach. Apparently, fellow CSUSM students,
we are all going to hell.
While I may not agree
with the members of Campus Ministry USA, I do support their right to... well, you

seems to be a need for critical response. While many
of the students who stood
around the ministry decided
to fire back with obscenities
and additional colorful language, I must insist on writing a clean rebuttal. One sign
the ministry brought to campus read "It's easy to be an

Created by animation studio Bones, "Xamd: Lost
Memories" was its first online exclusive project with
Sony's Playstation Network
in 2008.
Two years later, Sentai
Filmworks picked up the
English licensing rights to
the series. The story begins
with the postal ship named
Zanbani and its confrontation with an armada.
Viewers then shift to Akiyuki Takehara, a youtig high
school student who lives in
island similar to the presentday Japanese country side,
excluding the large flying

The day Akiyuki arrived
on time for the school bus
was fate, for that bus ride
changed his life and him
into an Xamd. For those familiar with Bones' works,
the world of "Xamd" seems
very similar to their previous series "Eureka Seven,"
The team also reunited with
composer Michiru Oshinia
who worked with their first
Fullmetal Alchemist project.
There are many wonderful

Though an animated film,
this cartoon movie deals with
the dark history of Gotham
City's Batman.
Released in 2010 from DC
Comics and Warner Bros,
"Under the Red Hood" starts
out with the end of Batman's
second robin, Jason Todd.
It then skips five years to
the city where crime lords
scramble as a new threat appears under the name "The
Red Hood ."
The film is an adaptation
to Judd Winick's story arc
under the same name. The
voice cast includes Neil Patrick Harris from "How I Met
Your Mother," Jensen Ackles from "Supernatural" and
Bruce Greenwood as Batman.
For some, this movie's
version of the Joker may be
an issue for viewers. It is a
unique design and a bit different compared to its other
manifestations such as in
the comics or Dark Knight
Films.
But rest assured, voice actor John DiMaggio brings
the villain back to a level of
familiarity. Even if you have
not read any of the comics,
this film would be able to
bring yon up to speed and
bring you into the mystery
'and action in Gotham City.
As a female college student in her 20s, I must say
that HBO's "Girls" is a perfect coming-of-age series for
those moments in life that
you can't believe actually
happened.
"Girls," which is created,
directed and starring Lena
Dunham, writer of the Netflix-Instant available "Tiny
Furniture," chronicles the
mishaps and adventures of
Hannah Horvath, a previously spoiled 20-somethingyear-old woman who has just
been financially estranged
from her parents.
While Hannah is dealing
with her lack of a job, she

Protocol for mountain lion encounters on campus
Recent sightings of mountain lions in the area raise concern for local officials for the safety of students and résidents
B Y N ADA SEWIDAN
STAFF W RITER
A mountain lion sighting
occurred on Wednesday, Feb.
12 in CSUSM parking lot F.
A reliable source confirmed
the sighting to CSUSM campus police at 10:00 a.m.
Although the sighting was
confirmed, CSUSM campus
police officers did not have
a visual on the animal. There
is a special protocol CSUSM
campus police officers follow once a sighting as this
one is called in .
CSUSM Sgt . Herman Hernandez explained that if a
sighting is confirmed from a
reliable source who can accurately describe the animal,
then campus police notifies
CSUSM students and staff
via e-mail. A patrol officer is
sent to the scene where the
sighting was originally reported and conducts a visual
evaluation of the perimeter.
Campus police also notifies
the San D iego County Fish
and Game Department. The
Fish and Game Department

sends an officer to patrol the
area and once the animal is
spotted, it is captured, tagged
and eventually released back
in the wild. Sgt. Hernandez
said the only circumstance
where an officer would shoot
the wild animal is when it
is life threatening to people
nearby.
Sergeant Hernandez said
CSUSM campus police o fficers are trained and briefed
on how to respond to mountain lion and other wildlife
sightings on campus. He
emphasized that students and
staff should be familiar with
the procedure as well.
"Keep the campus police
phone number programmed
in your cell phone," Sgt.
Hernandez said. "Whenever
wildlife related, or anything
else, it's always good to be
aware o f your surroundings."
In the past 10 years, there
have been a total of 3 to 5
both confirmed and non-confirmed mountain lion sightings. Other animals that
have been previously found
around the perimeter include
bobcats and coyotes.
In order to maximize safety
in situations as this, students
and staff are also advised to
not run from the animal and
to not seem intimidated, but
make themselves seem as
large as possible.

S DSU have student unions
on campus. UCSD has a Student Services Center dedicated to being the "one-stop
resource located in the heart
of campus" according to the
website.
The U SU is unique in its
layout and design; it has an
air of sophistication and modernity that envelops every
student who steps through
the clear doors. However
some students have mentioned that they have had
some trouble with the new
design.
"The
bathrooms
are
strange, it's difficult to find
them," one CSUSM student
said.
Along with its fantastic
d esign come many new and
convenient locations for students to eat a meal or simply
soak in the sun. The U SU
has an amphitheater that has
thè capability to seat around
4 00 people. It also has a spacious roof patio on the fourth
floor that connects one wing
to the next. On this patio students may be found sitting
on silver chairs and tables or
lounging on big comfortable
sofas that face the beautiful
view of San Marcos.
"I like to read on the patio
whenever I have free time.
Especially when it was earlier on in the semester, I was
able to enjoy the sunset"
Yadira, a CSUSM student,
said.
The U SU, along with the
new lounge areas, now provides new food location»
for students to choose from,
although reviews have been
mixed about whether the
changes have been good. A
CSUSM student lounging on
a couch on the patio voiced
her opinions, saying that the
U SU "has its good and its
bad."
T he n ew University Student U nion building provides repose o n t he campus. P hoto provided by Sarah Hughes.
"It looks super nice, the
bad thing is that I wish that
they had somewhat better
food and also heaters on the
patio to warm us up on cool
evenings," she also said.
Although many things can
be said about the U SU Build-
ing now, there is no doubt
that it is a great new addition to CSUSM's campus.
Whether students find themselves loving the new location or disliking some things,
it has definitely earned a spot
in the university and in the
hearts of many students.

Military budget cuts threaten the future of several U.S.
military service men in reserve and active duty.
The size of military troops
in the Air Force, Army and
Marine Corps are being reduced in order to accommodate impending budget
plans. CSUSM veteran students personalize this issue
and explain what to expect
according to USA Today.
The Marine Corps is projected to decrease its size by
5,000 troops in the following three years reducing the
military from approximately
190,000to175,000.
The Air Force also faces
cutbacks of roughly several thousand troops through
2019. Likewise, the Army
estimates that more than
100,000 soldiers will be
cut to a force of 420,000 by
2019.
Formally in the Marine
Corps, CSUSM student and
Student Veterans Organization President, Claudia Oreegal said that cutting military
personnel will cause "lower
morale" within the military.
Oreegal suggested budget
cuts should instead be implemented in other areas in the
militaiy where money is possibly being wasted.

It is possible that rates to

Amazon will be unable to

The real problem comes
from the somewhat limited

smaller with a potential acquisition of Time Warner by

Juice cleansing beyond being trendy
B Y RACHEL GALLEGO
HEALTH COLUMNIST
Juice cleansing is a popular trend, with people using
everything from mainstream
brands such as BluePrint and
Nekter to their own pressed
fruits and vegetables.
If you aren't selective in
choosing the right cleanse
that's best for you, it could
backfire and leave you disappointed.
There are a couple key
points to keep in mind in
order to recap the benefits associated with juice
cleansing. You don't need to
cleanse to be healthy, so if
you are doing it to be trendy
it could leave you struggling,
instead of feeling physically
and emotionally balanced.
Cleanses are meant as a
means to detoxify and reset your metabolism, which
is why exercising during a
cleanse isn't-the best decision. Juice cleanser don't
provide all the nutrients that
are necessary for working
out and recovering, and as a
result you may become dizzy
or nauseated.
It's important to not use a
juice: cleanse as an excuse

CSUSM athletics has come
a long way since its inception in 1998 with three original teams. The program now
boasts 13 teams, 2 4 conference championships and
three national titles.
N ow in 2 014, the athletic program is applying for
NCAA DII membership and
is confident in their resume.
The Department of Athletics has had the vision of taking the university to the next
level for a while now, and
this is actually not the department's first attempt. With
two previous applications,
the department was turned
down both times. There were
too many competing applications that were better suited
in the applicant pool.
"We needed additional funds for operating, we
needed to increase our scholarship allocations, we need-
ed to add sports, w e needed
to build athletic facilities
and lastly we needed a comprehensive compliance program," Director of Athletics,
Jennifer Milo, said.
There have been some big
changes in the 2 014 application that will really make it
stand out and have drastically increased the program's
chances . This includes plans
for a full court gym on campus that is predicted to be
completed by 2016 .
An application for NCAA
membership is so extensive
that the department hired an
outside consulting firm to
help with the process. When
the application was finally
submitted on Feb. 1, 2 014,
the document was a hefty
6 00 pages. From here, the
NCAA will arrange a visit
in April to check and see if
the application matches with
what the program is really
doing.
Although the NCAA was
not pushing for CSUSM to
apply, the CCAA, a conference within the division has
been awaiting the application. This conference is full
of 11 CSU campuses and
UC San Diego. With a large
assortment of close competition such as Cal State LA,
Dominguez hills and UCSD
in the conference, the Cougars will have an easier time
scheduling games and it will
be better for the overall budget.
"There aje so many positives right now in our department. Really the sky is the
limit with what we can accomplish. We have amazing
student-athletes, top notch
coaches and a committed
support staff to make it all
happen," Milo said.
CSUSM has outgrown its
current home in the A ll conference of the NAIA, and the
NCAA is a logical next step
that the players and coaches
are very deserving o f.

It's been a rocky start for Cougar baseball with a 5-8 record, but they may be on
the verge of a turnaround with plenty of
season to play.
They recently pumped themselves and
their supporters up with a 9-7 win over San
Diego Christian on Feb. 25.
Overall, the team has plenty of hot bats
and the offense side seems to be producing well for the Cougars. The pitching staff
still appears to be having some trouble with
their lowest ERA sitting at 3.24. One of the
Cougars' key pitchers, Hunter Brown, a DI
bounce back, currently has a 4.18 ERA in
his 5 starts.
According to head coach Dennis Pugh,
the Cougars needed this win to get back in
the game and they did. San D iego Christian
is a top 2 0 team, so bringing back a victory
is an accomplishment. The Cougars showed
the Hawks that they really wanted the win
in the fourth inning with Matt Arlington's
home run and an RBI double from Dylan
Costello. Key player l yier Bernard finished
the game with a base hit to score Matt Arlington for the win.
"With all this new talent on the field it takes
a while for it to get going, but they work hard
and will see results," Coach Pugh said.
The Cougars just started their season and
with this win against San Diego Christian
their future is appearing brighter. Their next
home game is 11 a.m. on March 8 against
University of Antelope Valley.

Wrench & Rodent Seabasstropub serves up great sushi
Jäestaurant Review
BYNIKKI THOMAS
FEATURES COLUMNIST
Wrench & Rodent Seabasstropub is a local's sushi
joint. You wouldn't notice it
atfirstbecause there is not a
sign up and it is attached to
Bull Taco, a Mexican restaurant.
But once you arrive you'll
be glad you did. The Seabasstropub gives off a surfer-rock flair. It has surf
boards and skateboards
posted up, as well as United Kingdom Flag artwork
over green mossy walls. The
space has a cozy feeling because it can't be bigger than
500 square feet. Our server
was actually a sushi-chef
(he broke his arm so he
could only serve until it was
healed) s o he knew to hook
us up with good choices.
We started o ff with a Beach
Honey beer ($5.50) and a
fruit wine ($6), where you
can choose flavors such as
raspberry or pomegranate.
The wine had a very unique,
sangria-like taste. For starters w e opted for the Ceviche
Flight ( $8), which changes
daily. When I tried it, it in
eluded a tuna tartare, mango
infused yellowtail and albacore with miso glaze. It was
served with an extra large
puffed sesame crisp that had
an unfamiliar, crunchy texture but paired well with the
soft delicate fish. The next
round was hamachi nigiri, at
just $5 a pair you can't beat

it! Nigiri sushi are slices of
yellowtail fish over a bed of
rice. One order had an arugula chimichurri and pickled
red onion sauce, it was very
creative and extremely tasty.
Next to it was the traditional style, with the yellowtail
belly over rice, and lemon
to drizzle on top, which just
mfelts in your mouth, to die
for.
After, we moved on to the
sushi rolls, which included
The Chronic ($12) and the
Hedgehog ($13) The Chronic was crab, spicy tuna and
avocado, wrapped in rice
then seaweed and flask fried
for a crunchy exterior. It was
finished off with a spicy aioli as well as a sweet citrus
sauce, excellent. The Hedgehog was different; it was a
shrimp tempura roll inside
with seared yellowtail on top
finished with roasted garlic,
truffle oil, salt and pepper.
It was a little overwhelming
and only recommended for
those who like extra garlicky,
spicy truffle flavors. After
that w e ordered some salmon sashimi that tasted extra
fresh and amazing. We could
tell this place makes sure
their fish is top-notch quality.
To finish off dinner we chose
a raspberry-rum sorbet ($5)
that was huge and icy with a
deep purple color, a perfect
way t o end the night.
These chefs have a true
passion for presentation
and display their creativity beautifully through their
ingredients and fish selection. They profess that their
"ingredients are carefully
chosen, grown ourselves or
made from scratch" and that
is apparent at this new joint.
If you want to try some newage sushi try out Wrench and
Rodent Seabasstropub! It is
located on 1815 South Coast
Highway in Oceanside.
The Literature and Writing Club creates unique addition to CSUSM community
BYNADA

STAFF W RITER
When asked what makes
the Literature and Writing
Club unique, club President
Michael O'Marah and Vice
President Marie Parrish
spoke about the importance
of promoting literacy and
love for books.
However, the club is not
only exclusive to literature
and writing majors in general. O'Marah and Parrish emphasized the larger aspects
of the club's purpose of getting involved in the CSUSM
community and getting to
know one another in a fiin,
relaxed atmosphere.
The LTWR Club, also
known as Club Cognoscenti, was originally started
four years ago by Michael
O'Marah and Marie Parrish
and is overseen by faculty
Professor Heidi Breuer. At
the start of the semester there
were a total of four people
members, however, the club
has now expanded to approximately 30 to 4 0 people.
There are several events
planned for the semester including an open mike poetry
reading on March 19, a trip
to the Huntington library and
a bonfire at the beach. There
is also an ongoing Easter egg
hunt where Club members
hide Easter e ggs throughout
various places on campus.
Parish and O'Marah highlight the relaxed, laid back
and friendly environment of
the meetings.
"You don't have to come
to every meeting," O'Marah
said. "We want people to enjoy being there and we want
it to be fun ."
Some of the events the
LTWR club has held in the
past include three minute
skits of Shakespeare's witches from Macbeth and the
whole Harry Potter Series.
"We got to dress up and act

The club president's duties
include increase membership, raise money and generate ideas for events and

"We have a good team dynamic," Parrish said.
In order to raise money
for club and campus events,
club members employ several fundraisers throughout
the semester. Such fundraisers will include a create your

The first Public Relations
Club to ever grace the halls
of CSUSM has begun convening this spring. Members
have high aspirations to help
make a positive impact on
society and motivate intellectual thinking.
Each semester, the club
will be aiding a specific campaign or organization to allow students to perform tasks
and expectations of the public relations field. Students
that are already involved in
the org. are excited about the
opportunities provided.
"The main purpose of the
Public Relations Club is
to develop practical public relations skills through
participating in community
outreach and building civic
relationships while fostering
campus involvement " PR
Club President, Tracey Engleton, said. "The mission of
the club i s to combine theory
and application for use in the
real world, while also gaining experiences from professionals in the field, using
social media and networking, along with many other
PR tools that make public
relations a fascinating career.
Our club uses the definition
of praxis to set our agenda
[Praxis: putting theories to
work]."
"Our goal is to educate
people. For me, personally,
the experience I will gain
from participating in this
club will give me the leg up
on the competition. I want
to be in public relations and
having this club in my background will show that I'm
already doing campaigns and
already making taglines and
doing crisis letters. It's going to help me to look better
against any competition," PR
Club Secretary, Erin Taylor,
said.
"This club has been a dream
of mine for a number for
years, and for many of those
years students have come to
me, knowing my background
in public relations, and have
asked me about internships
and how they might get involved in this field," club adviser, Dr. Fredi Avalos, said.
"For me, this club allows the
students to take what they've
learned; their skill set knowledge, and connect the dots to
a real profession. An exciting
profession: public relations,
putting theory to work."
There is plenty of room for
participants and the club is
looking for people that have
the motivated spirit to help
the club achieve its goals.

E DITOR-IN-CHIEF
Students ^ ill often see their
peers wearing bright green
t-shirts marked with the name
"Civility" on the first Tuesday
of every month.
The Civility Campaign seeks
to bring together the values of
care, respect and empathy while
acknowledging culture and humanity on campus. Thefirsttwo
years of the program were designed to spread the awareness
of Civility's core beliefs. They
developed an event called Civility Champions, where peers
nominated students, faculty and
staff that represent the values
of the program on campus. In
its third year, the Civility Campaign shifted its focus to partnering up with orgs, on campus
that are doing this and much
more.
*
"We want to focus our programmatic emphasis on anti-bullying, bystander interven-
tion and intergroup dialogue,"
program coordinator, Greg
Toya, said. "We envision looking at more opportunities to
have activities that will spark
conversations around diversity
dialogue."
"We need to bring awareness
to our campus and expose students to what they're not used
to," Gross-Cultural Center peer
educator and Civility Campaign
member, Arely Ramos, said.
The Civility Unity event in
October brought together all
dimensions of the campaign's
values by creating activities for
students. For the concept of respect, the LGBTQA Pride Center created activities centered
around bullying. For empathy,
Student Health and Counseling
Services focused on domestic
violence and alcohol awareness.
For culture, Kellogg Library
had participants contribute to a
mural. For humanity, Civility
created "couch conversations,"
where people talked about their
hopes and dreams.
Also in October, Civility partnered up with the Majors and
Minors Fair to promote the campaign to new students. In honor
of Veterans Day in November,
Civility had community members write thank you notes to
students at the Veterans Center.
In December, Civility partnered
up with Hillel to play dreidel
games. Participants learned
different facts about Judaism,
Jewish people and history. In
February, Civility partnered up
with BSU for Black History
Month and did a "couch conversation" about discrimination.
On March 4, they partnered up
with USUAB, the Gender Equity Center, SLL, and the Pride
Center to do a Herstory Month
event.

�Being vegan is about being satiated with purpose
B Y LAUREN HAMMOND
OPINION EDITOR
Delicious cucumber burger made fresh a t h ome by Lauren H ammond. P hoto provided by herself.
Being vegetarian easier than you think
B Y RESTY GREY
STAFF W RITER
American society is eating too much meat and not
enough vegetables.
I am willing to bet the last
thing you ate had some sort
of processed meat added to
the plate to give the meal a
sense of "completeness."
Vegans and vegetarians have
a good chance of winning
that bet, but I think the odds
are in my favor.
Why do we eat dead animals? Most of us have come
to believe that it is our best
source for protein but where
do you think the animals get
their protein? Our society is
consuming enough micronutrients.
When protein is consumed
in abundance, the nutrients
that are not immediately
used become stored as fat.
In a time where feast or
famine was normal, storing
fat would be ideal. However, the advancements in our
contemporary culture make
the convenience of the dollar
menu too accessible.
Eating has changed from
a conscious decision of sustenance to a habitual action
to fulfill some innate desire
to feel good. Don't get me
wrong; I think meat is deli-
cious, but so are cigarettes.
There are countless studies
showing the positive benefits
from reducing the amount of
animal intake.
Fun fact: cholesterol is
only found in animal products.
Meat seems to dominate
our culture. Men are seen as
wussies if they refrain from
eating meat. Satirical twitter
account @overlymanlyman
makes apparent our societal stereotypes by tweeting,
"How do I like my steak?
Next to my other s t e a k j ^
In her book, Main Street
Vegan, Victoria Moran states
"at some point it entered the
collective consciousness that
meat and masculinity were
inextricably linked." But
it's 2014, Victoria. I thought
we were past those preconceived notions of inequality
between genders; apparently
not.
I'm pesco-lacto-ovo-vegetarian, but let's just refer to
it as semi-vegetarian. I still
eat eggs, cheese and fish, but
I have completely cut out
cow, pig and chicken from
my diet. I have abstained for
two months and I honestly
feel fantastic. I don't feel
weak, sick or deprived in any
way. My body feels and looks
better.
I'm active; serving tables,
running, riding and playing basketball. My stomach
never feels heavy from food
and I feel an increase in energy. My bowel movements
are timely, meaning my digestive system is working
properly and I have a greater
appreciation for vegetables.
Since cutting out practically 33 percent of my diet,
I have been filling that excess space with delicious
nutrient-dense whole grains,
vegetables, fruits, legumes
and nuts. What vegetarians
would consider their five basic food groups .
My eating changed from
a habitual action to a conscious choice. I became
aware of how much animal
flesh I actually consumed
on a daily basis. I no longer
believe dead animals should
be a staple food group, but I
can still enjoy the occasional
tilapia and fish sinigang my
mother loves to cook when I
come home to visit.
Instead of letting your next
meal pick you, try to remember the last time you ate a
bright green granny smith
apple or even add crisp red
cabbage on your burger instead of habitually buying
that bland, dead animal.
The topic of dietary preference can be just as touchy of
a conversation as politics or
religion.
Veganism is often labeled
as radical and even dangerous, both for the diet's limitations in food choices as
well as its profound respect
for animals' lives. Vegans
are not only concerned with
who they eat but are often
more concerned with the
amount of nutrient density
that comes with each bite. .
My personal progression
into veganism, or what I like
to refer to as "plant-based,"
has been a life changing
experience in a number of
ways.
Growing up, my body had
an inability to digest foods
such as meat, dairy and gluten efficiently. Due to my
body's shortcomings, as a
child and far into my teenage
years, I often found myself
fatigued, bloated, having abdominal pains and suffering
from degenerative arthritis.
Despite frequent trips to
medical specialists, there
was never more offered to
me than painkillers, laxatives
and physical therapy. The notion of perhaps changing my
diet was never mentioned.
It was at the age of 19 that
I decided to begin searching
for alternative ways to improve my health. After doing
some research, I discovered
the benefits of restricting my
diet to the bare essentials. I
came tofindout that the most
nutrient dense and easily digestible foods are produce
items such as fruits and vegetables.
For the past five years, I
have been working towards
transitioning myself into the
plant-based lifestyle. Although it takes time, and is
not something I advise anyone to do overnight, it has
helped to better my overall
quality of life. I no longer
suffer from exhaustion spells
or irritable bowel syndrome.
Even the joint pain caused

rest of my life, has dramatically alleviated. Even more
so, the plant-based lifestyle
has heiped me become better associated to the natural
world.
Not only do I love my own
body, but I have found a new
respect for the body of all
beings. The innocence of animals and the maltreatment
they face within the overly
abundant slaughter houses
and factory farms spread
across the United States,
which is alarming.
The industrial meat and
dairy industries confine
hundreds of animals into
small areas where they are
often exposed to chemicals,
disease and injuries. These
factories are also known for
their practice of injecting
antimicrobial agents and
hormone - supplements into
the animals as a way to fatten them and eliminate illness. These animals suffer
throughout their entire lives
as they are restricted to cages
and are unable to move about
naturally.
My disapproval for the
way factory farming conducts this grotesque sense of
assembly line production has
altered my initial decision
to become plant-based into
more of a compassionate,
ethical stance.
I believe strongly that humans have lost touch with
nature, animals and plants
alike. We have been responsible for innumerable
amounts of innocent deaths
for centuries and have now
made this idea of slaughter
and comfort consumption
a corporate conglomerate
based solely on profit.
I understand that the idea
of converting everyone to a
plant-based lifestyle is unreasonable. However, there
are both health and ethical
benefits into limiting animal product intake that most
people do not consider or are
even knowledgeable of.
I urge everyone to take the
time to understand what it
is they are putting into their
body and where it has come
from. It, and when, choosing
to eat meat, people should be
sure to get it locally and organically.
Local farmers are more invested in both the animals'
welfare and the consumers'
welfare. Still, raw vegetables and fruits are considered
to be the most nutritionally
substantial foods due to their
live enzymes. It is time that
humans begin to eat to survive rather than live to eat.
er audience for his show.
In my opinion, the opening of "Dumb Starbucks"
was definitely just a publicity stunt meant to gain more
viewers for a show I never
would have heard of before
his appearance as CEO. I
mean let's look at the facts;
he opened a store with a patented world-renowned company.
"As long as we're making
fun of Starbucks, we're allowed to use their corporate
identity," Fielder, on opening
day, said.
I think the real question
behind this entire debacle is
whether Fielder is a really
unqualified and uninformed
business owner, or if he's an
extremely savvy self-promoter.

My ancestors didn't work
their way to the very top of
the food chain for me to just
throw the glory away and not
consume meat.
I enjoy being primal and
tearing meat from the bones
of ribs. If it's so "unnatural",
why do millions of people
enjoy doing the very same
thing?
If you throw an apple on
the ground, chances are your
dog is not going to purposely
consume it. They may swallow some thinking it's a new
ball, but they do not naturally eat or enjoy eating apples.
The dog is by instinct a carnivore, just like we humans
are instinctively omnivores.
You can make claims that
we are not supposed to eat
meat but the fact is we do.
There are marly more people
in this world that consume
meat than those who don't.
In some countries like the
U.S. and the UK it makes up
the bulk of individuals' diets.
In countries where it doesn't,
meat is a rare delicatessen.
Sometimes it is only to be
cherished and eaten during
times of celebration.
Many of our close primate
relatives are omnivores. So
are many primitive tribes that
G oing so far as t o taking a big bite o ut o f a f rozen steak, by Justin D onner.
are still excellent examples
of human beings in their raw
and unindustrialized form.
"Nearly all herbivores, like
cows, have fermenting vats
— large chambers in their
stomachs where microbes attack plant material for digestion. Humans don't. Intestine function relies more on
surface area than length. As
mentioned earlier, creatures
with plant-based diets need
larger guts to absorb more
energy, while carnivores
have rather small intestines.
Humans possess intermediate-sized digestive tracts,"
according to John McArdle of the Vegetarian Research
Group.
Many important nutrients
can be obtained from meat
such as calcium, vitamin
B12, and protein. A person
who engages in heavy physical activity needs to rely on
the nutrients from meat to
help their body recover. For
example, in the sport of body
building, it is recommended
to at least get one gram of
protein per pound of body
weight. This would be nearly
impossible on a vegan diet.
One would be left to use soy,
and that destroys your testosterone levels. Not exactly ideal for a man trying to
build muscle.
Researchers at Oxford
University recently followed
35,000 individuals aged 20 to
89 for a period of five years
and discovered that vegans
are 30% more likely to break
a bone than their vegetarian
andflesh-eatingpeers.
I have heard the argument
that livestock production
causes an excess of methane
gas. Our human bodies have
a hard time fully digesting
the complex carbs in a vegetarian diet, and this results
in more human released gas.
In my opinion, we will have
gas from either the vegetarians or the cows, so I will just
enjoy my meat.

Art has always been an
important institution on campus, with exhibits commonly
being featured in both the library and the Arts Building.
What many may not know
about is the off-campus gallery in Old California.
CSUSM owns the gallery
and features artwork both
for and sometimes by, the
students behind the Old California Coffee House, neighboring IHOP and the movie
theater.
The gallery was founded
in early 2012 and outlasted most of its neighboring
businesses in the area during
that time. Since then, it acts
as both a celebration and a
gathering place for artistic
minded individuals both on
and off campus.
The gallery showcased a
multitude of artists in the
past. For the first time, it has
formed a joint partnership
with the Oceanside Museum
of Art to display the "Altered
Landscapes" Exhibit, with a
student art showcase set to
premier on March 14.
"We change the exhibits
every six weeks," Marilyn
Huerta said. "So we generally have about two or three
exhibits per semester." This
does not include the exhibits
over summer, during which
the gallery remains open.
While the Altered Landscapes Exhibit is set to hold
its closing reception on Friday March 7 . The student art
showcase Redefined II is set
to hold its opening reception
on the March 14, featuring a
performance by the Cal State
San Marcos Jazz Ensemble.
The off-campus gallery is
open Fridays- and Saturdays
from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and
located at Old California
Restaurant Row, 1080 W.

B Y N A D A S EWIDAN
STAFF W RITER
An upcoming Capstone
event hosted by several
CSUSM music majors is a
Billy Joel tribute.
The Visual and Performing
Art major requires students
to set up a Capstone as part
of their curriculum. Music
students have a choice between putting on a concert
or producing an album. The
Capstone is a production
showcasing the skills and
knowledge students learn.
Since November, the students involved in this event
contributed more than 20
hours practicing and setting
up for the concert in preparation for the show. CSUSM
students, Stephanos Georg-
es and Scott Middough, are
hosting. Georges will be on
piano and vocals while Middough is on drums.
"I am looking forward to
playing with my fellow musicians who are more advanced than I," Georges said.
"Playing with others who
are more advanced than you
encourages you to practice
harder and play better."
Middough's role in the
concert also includes setting
up the technical aspects of
sound and lighting. CSUSM
student Josh Fowler will be
playing bass.
"It'll be a fun show," Fowler said. "We try to make it
feel like a concert experie n c e T h e show is free of
charge. It begins at 7:30 p.m.
on March 7 in Arts 111.
Nicole Krauss' third novel
is a story of revolution, love,
loss - and yes, a desk.
It is a tale of an American
novelist who has been writing at her beloved desk for 25
years. A s the story g oes on,
it becomes known that she
actually inherited this desk
from a Chilean poet who
disappeared at the hands of
Pinochet's secret police. But
the women's world is turned
upside down when the poet's
now-grown daughter comes
to take the desk back.
. This catapults the novel
into a collection of scenes
from around the world that
all tell of the lives of the
characters who once called
the desk their own. The reader is transported from N ew
York, to a London suburb, to
an antique shop in Jerusalem,
to a poet trying to survive
under a harsh dictator. For all
of these different characters,
the desk stands for all that
has been taken from them.
This allows the novel to ask
the crucial question: how do
w e survive change?
Krauss' novel gives a beautiful and well-written answer
to this question. By the end
of the book, the desk is no
longer just a desk. It lives on
as a symbol of what has been
lost, but also as a source of
hope.
I couldn't put this com-
pelling book down. Krauss
paints each of the characters
so intimately that you feel
as if you are experiencing
their struggles alongside
them. You feel loss over their
losses, and joy over their triumphs. I suggest this book
for anyone looking for a
stimulating read amidst the
humdrum of classes. It will
transport you from the boring
reality of your accounting
homework into a world that
is wondrously intertwined by
a single piece of furniture.

Future for higher education
BY WENDOLYN LEAL
SENIOR STAFF W RITER
The California Faculty Association, a union of 23,000
professors, lecturers, librarians, counselors and coaches
who teach in the California
State University system, is
involved in the Campaign
for the Future of Higher
Education. This campaign is
driven to ensure that affordable quality higher education
is accessible to all sectors of
society.
Sociology professor Garry
Rolison explains, "the Campaign for funding Higher Education takes a different perspective and that perspective
is that we can actually do it.
We can continue to publicly
fund our universities and we
don't have to fund them on
the backs of students and increase tuition and fees."
By design, the CFA exists to provide opportunities
for everyone seeking higher
education. The members
advocate quality education
for our students, fairness for
instructors and policies that
ensure access to higher education.
The Campaign for the Future of Higher Education has
released three papers geared
towards stimulating a more
thought-provoking method
about paying for higher
education in the country.
According to futureofhighered.org, two of the CFHE
working papers address the
misconception that funding
higher education through the
public sector instead of steep
increases in tuition is merely
impossible. The other paper
focuses on the idea of a free

2013 Senior Class Gift campaign aims at
raising money for student scholarship
BY MELISSA MARTINEZ
N EWS EDITOR
After last year's success
with the Senior Class Gift
Campaign, the Foundation
Board and student committee
are aiming to create a scholarship to continue aiding current and future students.
The Senior Class Gift Campaign started in 2008 and began its student committee in
2011 to bring student voices,
ownership and responsibilities for students to help their
peers. Last year, the campaign raised 106 gifts, more
than the two previous years
combined. In addition to
"matching donors"—people
who would match what the
campaign raised dollar for
dollar to a certain amount—
the ending amount of gifts
resulted in raising just over
$6,000.
While CSUSM is still a
relatively new campus, the
campaign aims at building a
legacy in raising money for
students. Following campuses that have implemented the
Senior Class Gift Campaign
for decades, the student committee for the campaign traditionally decides exactly
what the students would
like the funds to support.
Last year, student affairs
approached the committee
with a new fund program f or
students called the Student
Emergency Fund. It makes
funds available for students
who experienced unfortunate
emergencies, like an apartment fire or the death of a
family member requiring the
student to need a plane ticket
home.
Every year, the student
committee decides and designates a program they wish
the gifts to benefit.
Unless the donors specify
the program or college they
wish their donation to go
to, the donation will go to
the student committee designated program. Last year, :
that program was the Student

spects what the actual cost to
provide such an ideal would

Rolison is a strong believer
in the power of education as
are many of the supporters of
CFHE.
"It is a pathway for an informed citizenry and the
realization of equality and
democracy. But there will always be issues of equity, of
course.
However, we are in a situation right now where, because of basic inequities, we
don't have everybody in the
university that could benefit
from education and if they
don't benefit, we d on'tbenefit," Rolison said.
Although the campaign

As professor Rolison said,
"the point of the matter is

Those possibilities are feasible though the Students for

to build the student movement for educational rights

To pass such a fee, the
campus must gather student

Of course, the inclination
to congratulate ourselves for
being the kindest, sweetest
and most open-minded students and professors in California is tempting, but there's
always credit that must be
given to the men and women
of the UPD and Chief of Police Robert G. McManus.
So what have these peacemakers been up to? Apparently, they've been doing
We have a few students on campus who are
homeless. So, the money
is being well used immediately," Briner said.
The committee aims at
showing students the importance of giving back
to fellow or future peers.
As Briner highlights, "the
idea of a senior class campaign is to teach students
what giving back (some call
it paying forward), the impact
of giving can have on their
current and future students."
This year, the Foundation
Board decided to create a
student scholarship to be distributed next academic year.
"What students probably
don't realize or don't think
about is [that] some of the
things they're able to take
advantage of at this school
is philanthropic generosity
of people who've come before them. So whether it's
a scholarship, a building, a .
program, a lot of times those
are funded by people who
have given," said Briner.
The senior class campaign asks students of participation—regardless of the
amount of the gift—to participate and give back to current
and future students in their
time of need and understand
the importance of giving.
Though the title states
"Senior Class Gift Campaign," the committee of
students includes both seniors and juniors; students
of any year are able to
make a gift benefiting their
current and future peers.
This year, the Senior
Class Gift Campaign asks
students to give $20.13 in
honor of the class of 2013.

an outstanding j ob, but what
about the details?
When asking McManus
whether the UPD is shy
when it comes to releasing
crime reports, he replied,
"Communication between
UPD and the student body
is sometimes mishandled,"
and that they "take caution"
when proceeding to give out
information. "Being careful about proceedings" as
McManus put it, is essential
in avoiding miscommunication.
Police reports:
According to McManus,
"a typical week on CSUSM
consists of DUI reports and
noise complaints," with over
50 percent being from non-
students. H e then proceeded
to list off three or four alcohol violations, only1 one of
which was f rom a CSUSM
student from this past week.
The 21-year-old male student was caught at 2 a.m.
wandering aimlessly in the
middle of a street adjacent to
campus.
Alcohol on campus:
Alcohol, it seems, is still
a topic of importance to the
UPD and is perhaps one of
the most crucial factors in
maintaining the No. 1 spot on
the list of safest universities
in California.
The Chronicle recently
highlighted opinions by our
editors on whether the campus should remain a dry

campus or, pardon the expression, get wet. In rebuttal,
"there is an inherent downside to alcohol," McManus
said. "The CSUSM campus
is relatively quiet compared
to SDSU or UCSD."*
So while CSUSM remains the safest and possibly friendliest university in
California, Chief McManus
supports the continuation of
a dry campus to maintain
as much peace as possible.
There may always be an
occasional inebriated student wandering around, but
according to the UPD, for
CSUSM to remain peaceful,
it must remain dry as well.

Concussions are the most
common form of traumatic
brain injuries (TBI) and any
blow to the head should be
taken seriously.
According tô the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), approximately 1.7 million people
sustain a TBI annually, or
every 21 seconds in the U.S.
A concussion is caused
by a bump, jolt, or blow to
the head, resulting in impairments in brain function.
When left untreated, concussions can cause serious brain
damage. A common misconception regarding concussions is that there need be a
loss of consciousness. This
is not true. In fact, most concussions occur without a loss
of consciousness.
Symptoms of concussions
can include:
- confusion
- clumsiness
- nausea or vomiting
- slurred speech
- headache
- problems with balance
- dizziness
-, sensitivity to light or
noise
- sluggishness
- ringing in ears
- behavior or personality
changes
- concentration difficulties
- memory loss
Importantly, even when
the symptoms disappear,
brain function is still not 100
percent normal. It is imperative that you are medically
cleared before returning to
any kind of activities, including sports and mental activities.
If you or someone you
know sustains a concussionlike injury, it is important to
do the following:
- Refrain from further participation in
activity. This is extremely
important. You might feel
like you can continue and
fight through the pain, but
if you have sustained a concussion, the symptoms
will not go away. Further
participation with TBI symptoms will certainly
exacerbate any symptoms.
- Get evaluated by a medical professional immediately.
- Wait to return to activity until cleared by a doctor.
It may take anywhere from
weeks to months before being cleared medically.
"It has been five weeks and
I still haven't been cleared by
my doctor to return to swimming or surfing," Tess de
Ghetaldi, daughter of faculty
member Dr. Laura de Ghetaldi, said.
Tess, currently a junior at
Torrey Pines High School,
has suffered recurrent concussions, twp of which were
major TBIs; the first due to
being hit in the head with
a long board while surfing.
She i s currently part of an
NFL study through UCSD
and has had extensive medical testing to determine the
severity of her head injuries.
"Tess has had CT Scans
and MRI's on her brain;
however, it wasn't until she
had magnetoencephalography (MEG) which revealed
the extent of her injury," Dr.
de Ghetaldi said.
MEG machines have a
diagnosing rate of 90 percent; however, only 20-30
machines currently exist in
the country. CT's and MRI's
diagnose concussions only
about 10 percent of the time,
emphasizing the need f or
MEGs when serious head injuries occur.
Further studies indicate
that those who experience
multiple concussions are atrisk for subsequent concussions and are more likely to.
develop persistent post-concussive symptoms, including depression, which can
have life-long repercussions.
Alarmingly, those who have
experienced a concussion
are three-to-six times more
likely to experience recurrent
concussions.
The message is simple,
if you hit your head, get
checked out.
Complete your degree in as little as 12 months.

The offensive struggles
appear to b e over now for
the CSUSM baseball team
as they trounced the visiting Ashford Saints Monday,
March 4 in San Marcos.
The cougars scored a combined 22 runs in the double
header, in what Head Coach
Pugh called their best performance of the season by far.
"We really swung the bats
better today than we have
all season, I knew we better
than what we were showing." Pugh Said. "Hitting is
one of those things that's just
contagious, one guy gets hitting and they all s tart."

respectively. Catcher Kody
Sepulveda helped the cause
by adding a solo homerun to
straight away centerfield in
the sixth inning.
Game two of the double
header saw more of the same
out of the Cougars with some
added production on the offensive side. CSUSM struck
early and often, with score
six runs in the g ame's first
three innings on its way to a
dominating 14-2 rout of Ashford.
Bentson and Sepulveda
once again jump started die

both games and the runs followed suit. CSUSM won the
first game with a score of 8-0,
as star pitcher James Dykstra
pitched another dominating
lights out game, surrendering only three hits to Ashford
hitters and striking out 11 in
a complete game shutout.
"Pitching was great, James
Dykstra was outstanding especially after coming back
from being sick for a week,"
Pugh said.
The Cougar offense helped
take the pressure off Dykstra
throughout the game striking
first in the third inning off a
Kenny Belzer single to left
that scored Kyle Secciani.

CSUSM's very own No. 1
ranked softball team carried
a 10 game winning streak
as the Lady Cougars hosted
Arizona Christian, Hope International and La Sierra for
the two-day Cougar Clash
event.
Friday, March 1 was the
start of the clash when Arizona took first swing at the top
ranked Cougars against AilAmerican Cortney Allen. Allen demonstrated why she is
considered one of the best in
the nation at her position as
she kept Arizona Christian's
bats silent f or four innings on
her way to an 11-1 pitching
record in this early softball
season.
Olivia Lucatuorto began
the scoring in the clashes
opener with an RBI double
in t he first inning to score
Kaitlin McGinley and finish
the game 2-2 with a pair of
R BI's. The offense was powered by right fielder Patricia
Banda who helped bring in 4
of the Cougars total runs going 1 -2 with a double.
CSUSM would win the
game 11-0 and f ace Hope
International in the second
game of day 1. Banda would
once again be the driving
force of the Cougar offense
has she brought in the game's
first 2 runs against Hope International.
Alex Miller led the team
going 3-4 with 2 doubles
and a RBI on the day. Allen pitched another shutout
in game 2, this time going
six innings and striking out
5, carrying the team to 5-0
victory in the first days final
game for CSUSM.
Sunday picked up where
Friday left off when the Cougars would take on Arizona
Christian for the second time.
CSUSM scored a bevy of
runs in the first 3 innings of
the match led by Tani Leasau
and Taylor Ybarra's third inning homeruns that brought
in 2 runs apiece. Ybarra had
a triple on the day as well finishing 3-3 with 3 RBI's beating Arizona Christian 10-1.
Cal State looked to finish
the Clash unbeaten as they
faced La Sierra in the final
clash of the weekend. The
Lady Cougars would have to
fight from behind this time as
La Sierra struck early with 2
runs in the first inning off of
pitcher Allen.
CSUSM would answer
right back with 2 runs of
their own in the bottom of
the first inning with Leasau
belting a double to left field
to score Lucatuorto and
Banda. Alex Miller would
give the Cougars the lead in
the following inning with a
steal attempt of second base
that allow Brittney Guy to
score to put them up 3-2, a
lead they wouldn't give back
winning 8-2.
Leasau and Brogan Hoenisch led the way for the offense both going 2-4, helping
Cortney Allen pick up her
fourth win of the weekend.
Allen pitched both games
Sunday afternoon striking a
total of 8 batters.
"We are a young, growing team and we have some
growing pains right now but
we came away with four
wins this weekend and that's
what's important," Head
Coach Dave Williams said
on his team's performance
this weekend. "We just have
to work on being mentally
prepared the day of the game
and be ready to play."
Coach Williams also says
the young Cougar squad
feels no pressure to perform

"When I got to college, I

student Erica Dawson said.
"The students see Professor Santos as someone who
cares about them and wants
them to succeed, not just in
the classroom but out in the
world. He's a role model
that the students see as being real and someone who
is creating positive change
for our local communities,"
Santos' current student Jose
Martinez said.
"Xuan Santos has an incredible connection to students that is profound. His
gut level of experiences in
life and his reaching out
to community through his
teaching and understanding is unmatched. He sits in
many group sessions with
our students and is part of the
process of change," Director
of the Hannity Foundation in
Vista, Dwain Rogers said.
"My instruction is to connect students and understanding the difference from
people that struggle every
day. I speak on spoken word
as a means of education in
bringing in the invisible,
the voiceless, and the oppressed," Santos said.
" I'm seeking out a career in law enforcement and
have been on numerous rides
along with police officers.
Xuan Santos has the ability
to dispel the stereotype and
return respect and dignity
to a group of people whose
only violation is that they are
part of a lower socioeconomic level," Dawson said.
From my own experiences
with Professor Santos, I can
agree with Dawson and the
many others who speak so
highly of him. While I have
tried for three semesters to
take Professor Santos' course
on youth gangs, the class always fills up within a few
days. This semester was no
exception, the course becoming full before I could even
register. I 'm now realizing
that with one semester left, I
might not be able to take any
of his courses before I graduate. Is it unlucky on my part
that I can't get into his class,
or is he still messing with
me?

Many students are aware
of the CSUSM LGBTQA
Pride Center on campus, but
there is also another club that
shares a similar name: the
LGBTQA Club.
The LGBTQA Pride Center, located in Commons 201,
is described as a "welcoming
and inclusive space for all
students, staff, faculty, and
friends to socialize, study,
make new friends, and build
community."
The area is open to all who
are interested and openminded, or even curious
about the environment that
is present here. The Center
is a host to many in-house
events, such as discussion
groups, game nights and
movie nights, with an occasional night of karaoke to
spice things up. Whether you
are looking for information
or simply a place to hang out,

this is an option available to
students.
The LGBTQA Pride center is open from 8 a.m. to 8
p.m. Monday - Thursday,
and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
on Fridays. For more information about the center and
events, stop by at any time
during those hours.
The LGBTQA Club is a
student org that is welcoming visitors and members
as it continues to grow over
time. Their goals are to promote a safe environment for
all students and staff, as well
as to educate students on issues relating to the LGBTQ
community. The club also
has hopes to advocate f or a
more comprehensive LGBT
curriculum and generate a
larger field of understanding
on LGBT topics.
The LGBTQA Club holds
meetings every Thursday
during U-hour in Kellogg
3010 unless otherwise noted.
For more information about
the club, attendance to the
meetings is open to students
and staff.
While the LGBTQA Club
and the Pride Center share
similarities in purpose, both
have unique experiences to
offer the students and staff
that join them. The meetings
are open and they look forward to meeting new people
during the semester.

Local Amnesty International chapter seeks C SUSM students for help
BY KEANDRE WILLIAMS-CHAMBERS
COPY EDITOR
Amnesty International is
looking for CSUSM students
to join the North County
chapter. Amnesty International provides a great opportunity for criminology or
political science students as
well as students involved human rights and doing good.
Amnesty International is
an international organization
with strong goals to fight injustice and promote human
rights all across the world.
They tackle various issues
like helping those who are
political prisoners in other
countries, travelling to areas
in which there is great ine-
quality on various levels and
the issue of the death penalty
and alternatives to it. They
also address other issues that
affect the overall state of the
world, both on the f rontiines
and behind the scenes.
North County's chapter, Amnesty International
Group 471, is also working
towards the same goal.
"[Amnesty International]
is a non-partisan organization... and tries to get governments to enforce a universal declaration of human
rights," Steve Wiener, Amnesty International Group
471 member, said.
Formed about 25 years
ago, the North County chapter has grown to around 20
members that has bi-weekly
meetings, twice a month.
Wiener has noticed that the
majority of student involvement is on the high-school
level, with few, if any, college students involved. It is
uncertain as to whether this
is due to a lack of student
motivation or knowledge of
the existence of Amnesty International.
"Intrinsically, it's very rewarding. [Students] are welcome to show up for a meeting. We also do educational
events, everything from film
screenings to seminars with
famous speakers talking
about a human rights issues
in North County. I 'd encourage sociology and history
Shamrock Shindig
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
Once again, it's the time of
year when the Irish spirit
can be felt all over
campus, and ASI is
more than happy to
make use of the opportunity to put on an
event in celebration.
On Thursday, March 14,
ASI plans to hold its annual
Shamrock Shindig during
U-Hour. In celebration of S t
Patrick's Day, there will be
an explosive party thrown
in front of Kellogg Library,
complete with free
food, dancing, potatoes, performers
and an appropri-
ately large amount of the
color green.
This enormous celebration of everything Irish has
proven fantastically popular with students in the
past, with over 200
students in attendance each year
for the past several events. Free food
has been one of the
major contributors to the
event's popularity.
"It's definitely a celebration you don't want to miss.
It will certainly bring out
the Irish culture,"
Sh a mr o ck
Shindig coordinator Kathleen Atienza
said.
Most exciting
about this particular "shindig"
is the feature of
dancers from the
local Rose Academy of Irish
dancers, who will be
performing traditional
Irish dances for the
gathered students. In
addition to this, they
have volunteered to give
a brief tutorial on Irish dance
for students who may want
to join in.
Overall, it is an easy and
convenient opportunity for
students to be a part of the
Irish spirit on campus while
having plenty of food and

Studying Abroad
An ideal addition t o the avid
student's college experience
BY RYAN D OWNS
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
College is meant to be a
time for students to go outside their comfort zone and
learn more about the world by
travelling to a new country.
For those who may be
interested in this, there is
CSUSM's Study Abroad
Program, the campus's proud
organizer of exchange programs between CSUSM and
foreign schools.
"Practical benefits are
many for studying abroad.
It's a resume builder, it can
give you a competitive edge
when talking to prospective
employers," Study Abroad
Coordinator Tiffany Gabbard said.
There are a variety of
programs designed to cater
towards students' desired
schedules. The most popular is the semester exchange,
which is a single semesterlong exchange to a school
in a foreign country. Other
programs can run as short as
two weeks or as long as a full
academic year.
Studying abroad is incredibly flexible and designed to
work with both the student's
time and money. Many of the
transfer schools-that students
can choose from also speak a
fair amount of English.
"There are different fee
structures in place for shorter-term programs...we try
to be aware of our student's
needs. For the semester exchange and year-long programs, you are essentially
paying the same tuition you
would here," Gabbard said.
Students who have participated in the study abroad
program have had positive
things to say and found that
they got a chance to explore
themselves and their possibilities.
"Studying abroad was one
of the highlights of my life,"
Lance Rosenberger said. "I
feel I learned and grew more
in my one year abroad than
in my whole time in college."

' Zero DarkThirty' Daylight saving time is worth our time
film vs the W orld D ST gives students hope that summer is on its way
B Y JULIANA STUMPP
BY CASSIDY HAMILTON
A & E EDITOR
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
When the historic thriller
"Zero Dark Thirty" was released in theaters on Jan.
11, Oscar buzz quickly surrounded the movie. After all,
it tells the remarkable story
about the fall of the world's
most wanted man, Osama
Bin Laden.
However, with a powerful movie about the United
States government and one
of our country's most inspiring yet haunting stories, a
storm follows about what really happened.
"Zero Dark Thirty" started
off strong by being already
nominated for multiple
awards before it was released
in theaters. However, the film
only won one Golden Globe
award for Jessica Chastain's
performance as brutally
tough and obsessive CIA
agent Maya. At the Academy Awards, the film was
nominated for five awards
but walked away with only
one for Best Achievement in
Sound Editing.
The biggest concern of the
film was the torture scenes
that may or may not have left
moviegoers under the impression that these methods
helped track the military to
Osama Bin Laden. Senators
like Johii McCain, Dianne
Feinstein and Carl Levin
complained heavily about
this issue simply stating that
the methods of torture such
as "waterboarding" did not
result in Osama's death.
Like many movies, and
even the movies that were
nominated for Oscars this
year, are heavily dramatized
for the audiences. "Zero
Dark Thirty" is no exception.
I was recently indulging
in some routine Facebook
poking around when I came
across a friend's status:
"Can we all take a moment

"The Dorner case was something that I feel was taken a
bit extremely. Of course,
there was the issue to consider that law enforcement
officers were being targeted
and were quite likely in
greater danger than bystanders, but the lengths gone were
a bit extreme with a few near
misses along the way. Although it did indeed come to
a close, I feel as though the
methods used weren't by the
book and could have resulted
in damage not only to others
but damage to the reputation
of law enforcement in the
area. It could have been handled better, in my opinion,
but the results were more or
less desirable."

friends replied, "Its one of

Simple, but she could not be
more right in my eyes, and
this is precisely why I feel
that preserving the daylight
saving time tradition is entirely necessary to society.
It gives me hope, hope that
summer is on its way, hope
that I can get through the remainder of the school year;
and it brings me joy thinking
of all the good times that lay
ahead in the months of summer — the first sign of this
being the prolonged light.
The tradition of DST (daylight saving time) was actually introduced by Europeans during World War I. The
motive behind this push forward in measured time was
that more hours of daylight
would conserve coal for the
efforts of the war.

�The busted myths of studying abroad
BY CHRISTINA BASTIANON
CONTRIBUTOR
There are tons of concerns
regarding studying abroad
and plenty of reasons to turn
away from die opportunity,
So, as a returnee f rom a year
abroad in Florence, Italy, I
wanted to break down these
myths to show that studying
abroad is not only possible,
but also is a great opportunity for students.
The first myth I hear about
all the time is that study
abroad costs too much. This
is false. In my year abroad,
I paid the same tuition cost
as every other CSU student,
My rent was cheaper and I
lived blocks away from Piazza Santa Croce and the infamous Florentine cathedral,
I could buy most of basic
goods each week at the local swap meet while supporting the local merchants
and farmers. Best news of
all, your financial aid travels with you, making it even
more affordable.
The second myth is that
studying abroad can delay
graduation. Again, this is
false. If you plan for your
program, you will study in
your academic major and
minor abroad, often earning just as many units, if
not more, than you would
earn at CSUSM. All coursé
work taken from abroad will
receive academic credit if it
comes from an accredited institution. In your search f ora
program, choose where you
can get the best academics
for your time and be sure to
meet with a faculty advisor
to make sure your courses
correlate to the ones on campus.
The third myth deals with
the host country's language.
While it can be very nerve
racking to go into a foreign
country that speaks a different language, you will be
glad to broaden your perspective once you realize
how language informs culture.
While I was abroad, I took
language courses that helped
me adapt to my new country,
The vast majority of study
abroad options at CSUSM,

Homesickness. is the
fourth myth of studying
abroad. This differs between
each individual, but I found
that with the advancement of
technology, I was still able
to talk to my family multiple times a week. Skype,
Facebook and email helped
me fight my homesickness,
Every time I started to feel
homesick, I planned to travel
somewhere so I could send a
postcard to my family as if I

Beyond this, you will have a

you may be surprised that
homesickness may not strike
as often.
Lastly, myth number five
concerns safety both abroad
and traveling. Many worry
about the unknown and that
is exactly why this myth exists. Not to say that it's invalid, but we all are uncertain
about what we don't know
and it's understandable. I
definitely worried the first
time I traveled outside of
Florence. I had a complete
itinerary listing hostel numbers, airline numbers, consulate numbers, and other
emergency numbers. I was
well prepared for anything to
go wrong and what I found
was an amazing change of
culture. Everywhere I traveled I found welcoming peopie and in many cases peopie who were interested in

A different perspective t o the
modes of transportation on campus
B Y N ICOLE IGNELL
CONTRIBUTOR
CSUSM is known by another name you may well
be aware o f, "Cal State Stair
Master," due to the hundreds
of stairs the campus has. This
athletic sense of architecture
may seem like the perfect
solution to the "freshman
fifteen" and the "sophomore
twenty" and so on. However,
while these stairs may cut off
those cookie calories, most
people don't consider those
unfortunate few whp are unable to use. this alternative
means of working out.
Take me for example. I
hate stairs. I mean I avoid
them by all means possible.
Whether it's laziness or lack
of motivation to actually get
up and move, I try to avoid
these beautiful stairs at all
cost. Boy, did my appreciation for these stairs change
when I was faced with the
challenge of being temporarily handicapped. My
only way of accessibility is
through the use of elevators
and handicap ramps, which
are inconveniently placed.
Long story short, I was in
a car accident. One week after being in the hospital and
recovering, I stuck out like a
sore thumb when I returned
to school. With a neck brace,
two huge scars on my leg
and one sexy scooter that I
drove around campus in as I
attempted to defeat the long
day ahead. My first day of
classes absolutely sucked. I
had to take an extra 20 minutes to maneuver around
campus, trying to find the
few elevators that weren't
past their safety inspection
expiration date. I got stuck
in an elevator twice, drove
around i n'circles trying to
find ramps, got trapped on
the bridge from the parking lot and had to attempt to
open doors by myself while
operating the scooter. Now
d on't get me wrong, those
nifty little buttons that open
the door for people in my
situation are great, but only
when they are working. Attempting to successfully maneuver around campus is like
solving a Rubik Cube, nearly
impossible unless you know
all the secrets.
I will say one positive thing
about being handicapped; the
Disabled Student Services
(DSS) staff on campus is absolutely outstanding at their
job and exceeded in making
me feel comfortable to come
back to campus after my accident. Anyone who needs
any type of assistance should
go to DSS. The director, John
Segoria, is awesome.
. As a person who is only
temporarily disabled, I am
very thankful that I had help
in getting around campus.
From an insider's perspective on "Cal State Stair Master," I think that the school
should attempt to become
more handicap-friendly. Just
one way the school could accomplish this is to have accessible maps to find all the
elevators on campus. The
blue handicapped push open
buttons are very helpful, and
so they should add more and
make sure they are functioning well.
All in all,4 being temporarily handicapped showed me
the other side of things, and
I hope that other people can
speak up too so some changes can be made to make it
easier for handicapped people to move around campus.

THE COUGAR CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6,2013
O P I N I ON
Give students a vote on Student'Success* Fee
B Y MELISSA MARTINEZ
N EWS EDITOR
In case you haven't heard,
GSUSM administration is
exploring a "Student Success
Fee," in which they are thinking of charging students a fee
designated to possibly one
or more of four categories:
course sections, advising
and career support, academic
support and student life and
recreational opportunities.
As a student, offering more
course sections and academic support seems like a fresh
breath of air, however, I do
not understand why we, the
students, should pay more to
receive these resources that
have yet to be determined.
The CSUSM website dedicated to the Student Success
Fee states, "Why a Student
Success fee?" and further
says: to help ensure students
graduate in a timely manner." This is something every
student will benefit from,
however, how will charging
us money that could« potentially go to campus recreation help me to graduate a
semester early, as the presentation states? I understand
the importance of academic
support and being involved
on campus. However since
most of us aren't able to afford the tuition and fees now,
we are all going to be too
busy working extra hours to
make rent, tuition and now
our "student success fee."
Yes, some of us get financial
aid but what about those students who don't benefit from
financial aid? Don't make us
pay another fee without asking first.
The "success" fee was first
introduced last semester and
there were two open forums
providing information on
the fee on Feb. 26 and Feb.
27, with another one slated^
March 12. In the presentation provided at the Feb 27
forum, I felt that the information highlighted only the
benefits of the success fee,
skewing the information in
favor of students. Honestly,
I feel that this "success"
fee presentation is trying to
make the students believe
that it is up to us to pay for
these resources.
The presentation also
showed that in 2013/2014, if
approved, the student "success" fee, would start at $175
a semester, then move up to
$225 a semester in 2014/15,
and then rise once more to
$275 a semester in 2015/16.
My question is why the in-
crease?
What also caught my eye
was the survey that was so
generously offered on the
website. Now, if you are a
student, faculty or administrator, you are able to complete the survey and in completing the survey, you are
asked which departments
you would allocate $100, assuming the fee is approved.
Not "do you oppose or approve the student success
fee?" When I tried filling out
the survey, I put $0 in each
of the categories and stated
my opinion iti the following forum. I was not allowed
to submit because I did not
properly distribute a $100
total: This makes me wonder
whether the forum following
the survey is even considered
since regardless if you agree
on the success fee, you must
distribute a total of $100
amongst the presented options.
If you are serious about
stating your opinion, I suggest filling out the forum
on the "Send Us Your Feedback" page, however, if you
do not agree with the fee, you
cannot properly complete the
survey, without deciding that
certain departments should
receive a certain amount of
money.
However, if you'd like to
ask administrators directly
about the fee at the open forum, you can't because those
providing the forum only
represent the administrators
and information regarding
the fee. When asked questions regarding the fee at the
Feb. 27 forum, Student Affairs spokeswomen Bridget
Blanshan announced that
debate of the fee is not welcome to multiple students. If
you want to raise your voice,
take the survey! Tell them
where you want the money
to go, even if you don't want
it to go anywhere! The survey instead should include a
choice of whether students
agree. I heard at the Feb. 27
open forum that the reason
this was not taken to a vote
(a guideline in implementing
a student fee at any CSU requires either a vote frdm the
students, a referendum or an
alternative consultation) was
because it was believed that
they would not receive proper feedback.
The CSUSM website dedicated to the Student Success Fee states, "President
Haynes determined that the
use of alternative consultation was more appropriate
than a student fee referendum. This decision was
based on the consistently low
voter turnout the campus has
experienced during ASI elections and other fee referendums held on campus."
However, I believe that
had the students been given
an opportunity to vote, they
would receive appropriate
feedback and that was proved
with the results of Proposition 30. Because proposition 30 affected money, students cared. I don't believe
the case is different with
CSUSM students. Offering
an alternative consultation
rather than a vote is a way
for CSUSM to get what they
want from students without
giving them the respect of a
voting opportunity.
Maybe this "success" fee is
important; maybe it will benefit our campus more than it
will take away from students.
However, does CSUSM believe that .proposing a "success" fee without first allowing students to vote is the
right way to do this?
For example, students are
currently charged for the
building of the Student Union. This does not infuriate
students because we know
exactly where the fee is dis-
tributed. From what students
understand about the success
fee is that it's being proposed
and administration has yet to
decide which department(s)
on campus will benefit from
this fee.
This fee was approved at
multiple CSUs. For example,
at Cal Poly Pomona, there
is information on exactly
where and how the fee will
be distributed. Their website
even offers a fee breakdown
of where the fees will be disbursed each year (csupomona.edu/~studentsuccessfee/
faq.shtml#faql). I believe if
CSUSM offered us the same
information as well as the
right to a vote, the success
fee may be approved and
even supported by students
Even the university .admits
on its website, on a page listing the pros and cons of the
success fee proposal that
without a vote "there is not
a way for students to reially
say NO to the fee." That is
a pretty big disadvantage
when you're asking students
for more money; it's taking
away the opportunity for students to have a voice.
I encourage all students
and faculty to attend the forum at U-hour, March 12 in
Arts 240.
Since 2007, the State appropriation to C SUSM has been cut by
approximately $20 million or 20 percent, while the number df
students has increased by approximately 20 percent
The budget reductions of the past five years have seriously
undermined the ability of our campus to maintain the current

'Cariz Barkley,' a local artist w ho loves the music
BY KEANDRE WILLIAMS-CHAMBERS
COPY EDITOR
Carly Skeletoyer, known
as "Carlz Barkley," is a local
San Marcos musician with a
ukulele and admirable musical talent.
Growing up with music
was an integral part of her
life, with her childhoodspent being involved in choir
as well as taking vocal and
piano lessons. Eventually
moving up to perform in musicals and singing for special
events.
Skeletoyer taught herself
the ukulele, what could be
described as one of her instruments of choice, during
her stay in New York as part
of an AmeriCorps program
where she ran choir and hiphop clubs in an elementary
school in the Queensbridge
projects.
Since then, Skeletoyer has
had the opportunity to play
with a full band at venues
around San Diego and even
tour the West Coast to Seattle
and back. She has even begun working on a full-length
album of original songs.
The talented musician
describes her style as one
that carries a basic pop/folk
structure.
"But then when the band
plays 'em they end up sounding surf-y. Beach-y. Warm,"
Skeletoyer said, while going over past performances
with a full band alongside
her. "There are some R&B
and country numbers in there
too, though. I like to mix it
up."
Her lyrics could only be
described as a personification of internal thoughts.
" I'd also like to think that

SENIOR STAFF WRITER
The bass was booming,
the lights were flashing and
the crowd was dancing and
cheering Thursday, Feb. 28
at the Typhoon Saloon in Pacific Beach for the Red Bull
Thre3style University DJ
competition.
The competitors included one student each from
UCSD, SDSU, USD, while
CSUSM had two students
representatives; Alec "T3ch-
F4LL" Pagliaro and Edric
"Reekz" Quintong,
DJ Alec "T3chF4LL" Pagliaro was selected to be. the
first performer of the night,
of which he said, " I've got to
set the bar pretty high," and
acknowledged that it was a
real "privilege and an opportunity" to get to participate at
such an event.
DJ T3chF4LL has performed on many occasions
at the Belly Up Tavern in
Solana Beach, as well as
D J'd at clubs in downtown
San Diego, Los Angeles,
and at events on the CSUSM
campus.
Pagliaro said that the "vibe
and the energy of the club,"
is what pumps him up when
he is on stage performing.
His friend and mentor, DJ
Devon Hodgan came to the
event to support Pagliaro and
listen to his interesting set
transitions.
"His set has a lot of energy
and it's an emotional roller
coaster of genres, and he
might even get you to sing
along a bit," Hodgen said.
DJ Edric "Reekz" Quintong was the fourth artist to
perform at the event. He has
previously competed in the
DJ takeover competition, as
well as at the Red Bull DJ
contest that had taken place
last semester.
Before Quintong's set, his
roommate, Bryant Force,

For those of us graduating in the spring, the term
"crunch-time" is an understatement of how we feel. We
want to make sure that we
complete all of our assignments properly and go out
with a bang as we get ready
to close this chapter and welcome in another one.
For Cassie Chase, a visual
and performing arts major
with an emphasis in theatre,
all of her work during her
college career will be coming to an end. Her capstone
p erformance " Venus i n F u r "
will be premiered for the
public. In the play, she plays
one of the leads, Vanda Jordan, and is producing it as
well.
"Venus in Fur" tells the
story or a director, Thomas
Novachek (played by Christopher Murphy) who is in
search of a female lead f or
his adaptation of the same
titled play about the origins
of masochism in 1870. The
character Vanda Jordan is
an extremely driven, passionate, aspiring actress who
arrives late for her audition.
Thomas and Vanda read the
parts for Sverin Kushemski
and Vanda Von Dunayev, respectively. Soon they cross
the lines of actress and director and explore the boundaries of sexual tension and
power throughout.
"Vanda is eccentric and
intriguing, as she does not
divulge much about where
she comes from or who
she is," explained Chase
about her own character.
Last spring, both Chase
and Murphy were the leads
in CSUSM's "Spring Awakening" which was about a
child's tragedy and discussed
other taboo topics. They both
enjoyed the more adult relationship that is presented
in "Venus in Fur" which is
one of the reasons they were
drawn to the roles and story.
The "Venus in Fur" play
was originally written by
David Ives in 2010 and premiered on Broadway in 2011.
"My personal inspiration
for choosing such a script
was to use a small cast of
reliable people in a play that
pushed the envelopes in an
intriguing way," Chase said
• about her inspiration to have
her adaptation of the play. "I
have a preference for comedy, and this play has a dark
tone that I love. Christopher
and I were interested in the
depth, intensity and passion of these characters."
While the play may have
dramatic themes, students
will be able to relate to certain
situations and feeling that
the characters embody. "The
tension explored is familiar
tension throughout the dating
world today. Mind games,
sexual tension, unsure feelings and traipsing into inappropriate territory is touched
upon," Chase said. "On
some level, I think students
will understand the tension
felt between two people who
meet and ignite each other."
"Venus in Fur" is directed by Justin Levine as a
guest director and an artist
in the visual and performing arts department. The
play will be playing at 7
p.m. on March 8 and 9 in
Arts 111. Admission is free.

vital members of the film industry.
Sitting with these men and
women gives you the opportunity to see the people
that create the sounds, sights
and costumes that make that
movie you love so great.
While it is incredible to see
the movie stars in person,
After the show, you find
yourself standing next to
Oscar winners like Brenda
Chapman, one of the two directors for "Brave." You get
to meet Melissa McCarthy,
have Eddie Redmayne walk
past you while looking for
his limousine and meet some
of the filmmakers behind
your favorite movies.
Getting to attend the Academy Awards gives you a real
look at how extravagant of
an event the Oscars is and reminds you of how many people are attending the awards
per movie.
Just because some of these
people are not sitting on
ground level of the theater
the real magic lies within the
people on the roped-off section of the carpet, the filmmakers that spend hours perfecting these films that give
the actors a name.
The Academy Awards is
a whirlwind of an experience that looks dazzling on
television but even better in
person.

It's hard t o believe that w e have only been in
school for a bit more than 30 days when it actually feels we've been back for 30 months. W i t h
the tedium of classes and other stressors in o ur
daily lives, w e present you with a de-stressor
playlist that consist of low-energy songs with
just enough hook t o keep you from falling asleep
on your homework but t o calm the nerves and
ease the mind.
"Out My Mind, Just in Time"
By Erykah Badu
This soothing track from the Neo-Soul artist, Erykah Badu,' is sure t o calm with its jazzy
feel and sweet undertones of lové and deep
emotion. Although it is lengthy at a good 10
minutes long, the time is sure t o pass by while
absorbing this closing track from her fifth studio
album, " New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the
Ankh)."You might even find yourself wondering
if you've listened t o more than just one song.
"I Love the Rain"
By The Real Tuesday Weld
Though it may not be raining outside, you might
find yourself wishing it w ere with this upbeat
track that is surprising in its ability t o put the
mind at ease with more pleasurable thoughts
about the weather outside. W hether it be in humor at the heat o r reminiscence of chill, queue
this song up and you'll find yourself wanting a
good rainy day.
"Rewrite (Adem Remix)" By Sia
H ere is a song that presents a calm and intriguing air about it from this Australian singer-songwriter that is part of the genius behind some
songs w e all know, such as " Diamonds" sung
by Rihanna and "Blank Page" sung by Christina
Aguilera.This track shows a beautiful blend of
the voices of Sia Furler and English singer Adem
llhan.
"Distractions" By Zero 7
W hether o r not you focus on the lyrics, it is
a good song t o get lost in and perhaps even
daydream in. Just*a w ord of caution: if you think
the ideal is portrayed in this song, you'll be
quite surprised by the flip side of every verse.
That dreamy smile might just come t o a quick
thoughtful expression on your face.
"Beast" By Agnes Obel
Take a listen t o this delightful piece by Danish
singer/songwriter/pianist Agnes O bel, and let
yourself get lost in thé ideal this ¡song can drop
you into. Some describe it as hypnotic, with a
sweet spell cast on the listener until the final
second.The contrast between the piano background and the lyrics is—dare I say, haunting.

Special M ention
L ive life s miling:
r emembering
BY AJ KIRKPATRICK
CONTRIBUTOR
Students all over CSUSM
will mourn the loss of one
of the most interesting men
to ever walk this campus on
Thursday, Nov. 1, the one
year anniversary of Michael
J. Naylor's passing.
Naylor was one of the most
influential people I have ever
met. He was my best friend
and considered him not only
a fraternity brother of Sigma
Alpha Epsilon ( 2 AE), but as
a member of my family.
He was by far the most
well-known person I have
M ike N aylor
ever met. People just gravitated towards his outgoing
personality and his genuine
desire for putting other people's needs before his. He
was completely selfless, yet
always found a way to get
whatever he wanted. He had
the largest network of friends
and if you ever needed anything, he knew someone
who could get it for you.
He would be distracted by a
piece of dust floating by and
was by far one of the smartest people I have ever met.
Between the hours he
spent in Markstein Hall accomplishing his dean's list
honors, he still managed to
spend plenty of time at 24
Hour Fitness. He was a certified personal trainer and
lifted weights at least 5 times
a week. He was always willing to learn, yet always knew
it all. If you didn't already
know him, you would understand how great this individual was within five minutes
of talking to him.
It's impossible to ever forget the man responsible for
the lime green wrist bands

One of the most important

30, Governor Brown's proposal to raise revenue for our
K-12 and higher education
system.
If the proposal does not
pass, starting Nov. 7, the affects will immediately impact our teachers, administration at state colleges, and
extensively cut the student
budget by $6 billion per year.
Those that oppose Proposition 30 are not entirely wrong
about their argument. It is no

This Election Day, voters
in California will face many
choices. Among them is the
choice between Propositions
30 and 38.
Both are propositions that
provide money for schools
raised through taxation. But,
there are a few differences
warranting a note .
Prop 30 raises money for
all schools by taxing those
making $250,000-plus annually and increasing the California sales tax by a quarter
of a cent for all. However,

The overall tax care will still
be lower than where it stood
two years ago.
According to the department of finance, general fund
spending will be $11.6 billion lower than the amount
five years ago and will
amount to the same share of
the economy as in 1972-73.
This is not profligate spending. Students can remember

13. The Lady Cougars took

the score at 1 -1.

Flatland, which he performed..." when in fact flatlanding is
a riding style and is not an actual move. We apologize for

Swirl o n over to the Masquerade Ball
B Y JESSIE GAMBRELL
C o - A & E EDITOR
Dust off your ball gowns
and suits, it is time for the
fourth annual Masquerade
Ball!
The ball will take place 8
p.m to midnight, Friday, Oct.
26 in San Diego at the House
of Blues.
While tickets to the ball
are no longer available, students going are not required
to wear a mask. However, in
the past some have brought
beautiful and unique masks
to suit the occasion.
According to Associate Executive Director, Sara Gallegos, there will be appetizers,
but no meal and students are
advised to-eat ahead of time.
The whole night will be full
of dancing and good music
by DJ Jeremy Ricci from DJ
Pros.
"Only 21 + are allowed in
the upstairs area where alcohol can be purchased and
consumed. The [House of
Blues] security is very tight
so if there are any issues,
they are handled immediately. A note to all students is
to not drink before the dance,
you will not get in the door
if you appear intoxicated, "
said Gallegos.
The parking is tight downtown, but the House of Blues
does offer valet parking and
there is a parking lot on 5th
Ave:
There will be no transpor-
tation provided by ASIr but
there have been student discussions about renting party
buses on their own.
Students are expected to
have their ticket and photo
ID in hand to move the process along faster, considering
attendance is expected to be
550 to 600 students.

Prop. 37 proposes labeling of G E ingredients in foods
B Y W ENDOLYN L EAL
STAFF W RITER
Proposition 37 has one
goal, to make changes to
increase the regulation of
genetically engineered (GE)
products. If Prop 37 is approved, the law would require that raw and. processed
GE foods sold in grocery
stores be labeled so consumers are informed of what
they are consuming.
In 2012, legislative analysts concluded that about
40 - 70 percent of food products at local grocery stores in
California contain some GE
ingredients. However, the
federal law does not specifically require the regulation
of GE foods. Nonetheless,
the product is labelled as
"Genetically Engineered."
Currently, no other states
require the labeling of GE
foods.
If Prop 37 passes, the retailer would be held responsible f or complying with the
legislation by assuring that
their food products are correctly marked. In the past,
when calorie content began being included in the
label of foods, the prices
did not change, which was
a concern for families and
especially college students.
While making the changes
in labeling GE ingredients,
prices of food will not be affected.
There is a growing attitude in
favor of reforming American
agriculture and regard about
where our food comes from
and how it was produced.
College students have difficulty attempting to save
money and buy quality food.
It isn't common because
healthy food is typically
more expensive. However,
students and families feel
they haVe the right to know
what ingredients in their
food are natural and what
isn't. Proposition 37 informs
consumers of the extent of
GE they are ingesting.

Arguments
Proposition 37 gives us the right to know what
is in the f ood we eat a nd f eed to our families. It
simply requires labeling of f ood p roduced using
genetic engineering, so we c an choose whether to buy those
products or not. We have a right to know.

B Y MELISSA MARTINEZ
Answer: I feel very strongly about GMOs. Prop 3 7 is California's
citizens' opportunity to demand to know what they're being fed. Mon
santo, the world's leading producer of GMO seed patents and various
herbicides and pesticides claims that no human testing is necessary for
G MOs-that, essentially, GMOs are just as safe as non-GMO foods and
no testing is required. However, Monsanto's own employee cafeteria
bans GMOs. Why would they ban GMOs if they were perfectly safe?
Q: What do you think codd bo
passes? Negative?
A: Prop 37 will potentially set the national standard for food labeling
in the US. Europe has been labeling GMOs for years; Russia has even
turned away GMO corn from the US. The positive change we will see
exists in the potential for people to be more aware of the foods they eat.
Granted, cancer warnings on cigarette packs don't keep people from
smoking-some of the responsibility for nutritional standards does fall
on the consumer. Opponents of Prop 37 claim that food prices will rise.
There is little evidence to support this claim. Statewide, the expenses
would be nominal compared to others. Also, the proposition won't
require labeling in restaurants, but this can always be an additional
measure adopted in the future.
Conventionally grown

lh How does labeling GEtagredentson foods i f l w
A: Thé 2002 documentary Super Size Me exposed the unhealthful
practices of Sodexo, a multinational food service conglomerate that
now serves CSUSM students by managing the Big Cat Market, Big
Cat Bistro, and Starbucks. The university touted the change as "exciting" in a press release in late August of this year, but I have a hard
time getting jazzed about a company whose unsustainable production
practices have recently been criticized (http://oracle.newpaltz.edu/
students-raise-concerns- about-sodexo/). Sodexo also has close ties
with Pepsi Co., CSUSM's exclusive beverage provider. Should 37 pass,
students will see GMO labels on every Pepsi product containing GMO
high fructose corn syrup on and off campus. It's going to be quite an
eye-opener.

The reason behind its existence o n-campusdiet
B Y JESSIE G AMBRELL
C O - A & E EDITOR
To most students, the McMahan House is a mysterious, hidden house on the hill
above the Mangrum Track &
Field.
This mysterious gem is a
modern-looking event facility that was built in 2009 and
was completely funded and
drawn up by Richard and
JoAn McMahan in order to
host events. The McMahan
House is built on the CSUSM
property that the Prohoroff
family had previously owned
before 1988. I
It is a 3,200-square-foot
facility that has four rooms
and a large 2,690-squarefoot courtyard. There are intrinsic pathways and gardens
throughout the grounds that
had been part of the Prohoroff's original landscape
and were preserved for this
purpose. The ribbon cutting
ceremony was on July 15,
2009.
"It was built to create a
place on campus that would
serve as a gathering place
for students, faculty, staff
and community members to
share in events," Public Information Officer, Margaret
Lutz-Chantung said.
The McMahan House is a
CSUSM event facility that
also rents out for weddings,
birthdays, bar mitzvahs and
other events. In fact, just
a few weeks ago, CSUSM
held an informative meeting
on the launch of the palliative care program, which included the CSU Chancellor
Charles Reed. It was hosted
in the Library of the McMahan House, which is not
smart-equipped, unlike the
Great Room and the Retreat
Room that have a TV, Internet, a DVD player, and a
sound system.
Many events are held at
the McMahan House that
students are unaware about.
Being off campus a bit and
hidden by many trees allows CSU officials, among
others, to have complete pri-,
vacy at their meetings. With •
its contemporary look and
modern amenities, the McMahan House becomes quite
a unique event facility compared to other universities.
"We hear a lot of people

campus that it is a beautiful
and warm facility. It blurs
the line between campus and
community and the architecture of it was built to be sustainable and 'green,'" LutzChantung said.
The Tower, which can be
seen overlooking the Mangrum Track, is actually Mrs.
McMahan's favorite part of
the complex. Inside is a large
circular room with a giant,
square, 16-chair table in the
center, featuring a sculpture
by Syd Harris called "Duplicity." The Tower is also
used during weddings as
a preparation room for the
bride before her wedding.

It's time to tackle the question of the differences between the diet of commuter
students and those living oncampus.
Henry Hall is a sophomore who commutes from
San Clemente. He occasionally gets fast food on his way
to school when convenient,
and buys food from various
CSUSM food sites when on
campus. His weekend diet
consists of store-bought food
considering he has more free
time to go to the grocery
store. Healthy food choices
are difficult but still made
regardless of the lack of free
time. Hall only has time to
prepare one meal for himself everyday, with many of
his other meals consisting
of what can be bought at his
convenience. However, with
more time available, making
his own meals improves his
diet, proving to be healthy
and less financially consuming.
Depending on her schedule, Kia Washington, a freshman who lives on campus,
eats fairly healthy. Her food
choices are often based on financial ability and available
time. It usually costs less for
her to get certain foods outside of school time, allowing
this choice to become a preference when she has more
time to spare. She makes the
occasional sacrifices here
and there in order to have
once-a-week indulgences,
but overall, her diet is balanced.
Comparing these two people and their diets, it is easy
to see how the available time
affects their eating habits.
The commuter must accommodate according to the
setting they are in and work
around a schedule in which
they must also make time for
travelling. Those who live on
campus still have the issue of
time, but must also tackle the
separate issue of the overall
stresses of living on campus,
especially those who are living on their own for the first
time.
Both diets have their positives and negatives, but ultimately it is up to the individual to make their own plans
for dietary success.

We strolled up to the science hall. It either was expertly decorated or ready to
become blighted and I could
easily understand why they
had built a new one to replace this site. I didn't want
to go in, but try telling that to
your friends as they pull you
into the direction of certain
doom and failure. They had
heard stories of experiments
gone awry inside.
I hadn't been Halloween
pranking in a long time, but
I was sure that if the lights
were out it meant no candy.
As the moonlight glistened
upon the fog captured among
tangled spider-web adornment, I was assured that we
would be crazy not to stop
by. Holidays are mandatory
and that was our motto. We
were stocked with the cheapest kind of TP just to be dandy.
As we neared, it became
apparent that the building
was not vacant. A university cart sat just outside the
building. We went inside and
were met with a pair of tiny
eyes hanging as if foe. We
neared and laughed as we realized that it was nothing but
a spider. Something was off
though.
* I screamed because it was a
black widow, the flashlights
detected that it was actually
quite large with a thick, red
stripe on the side and a triangle pointing out in the shape
of a P. Impossible, stated
one member of the posse as
she grabbed the thing and
allowed it to walk upon her
body. Moments pass and she
screams when the thing bites
her. She shakes it off and it
implodes upon the floor in a
mess of bloody.
This time, human eyes
peer out of the darkness and
we taunt thefigurewith why
it is just looking. Get
help. This is dangerous. Then
the flashlights
detect
a
shift in the
atmosphere.
The cobwebs shake to reveal
more spiders were coming.
I grabbed a hand and ran
to the front door and shoved
a friend into the seat of the
golf cart. As I pulled away, it
shrank into the size of some
thing you buy for children.
My friend was still life-size
but struggled to escape from
the compressed enclosure.
Now, spiders seem to have
escaped and a new web entangled the universe. As I
could see, on looked the onlooking onlooker.
I had no choice but to wave
my arms as they grew sticky
and tangled. I fell to the floor
and knew I would never be
free. As I gasped for b-b-b
breath, the spiders grew near
and the onlooker said, "Happy Halloween."

I also need to make myself
dinner, do chores and relax
after a long day. I need to
give myself a well-deserved
break before starting my
homework, and that doesn't
even start until 9 or 10 p.m.
Surely I 'm not the only student experiencing this problem.
Where else are students
supposed to study?
The Clarke has multiple
break rooms and a study
room for student athletes.
The Clarke is also a place
where activities, such as InterVarsity andfitnessclasses,
take place. These events often get loud and bring in a
large crowd.
The UVA and Quad offer limited study rooms
for the number of students
that reside there. The UVA
classroom is spacious but
students like their privacy
when it comes to studying.
Some students enjoy listening to music while others enjoy complete silence. Even
private rooms in the dorms
aren't enough. With three
roommates things can get
loud and distracting. Moreover, the UVA closes at 11
A few weeks ago, students were asked to leave
Markstein Hall after 10 p.m.
Markstein is very popular
among students at night because of the new technology
it provides, as well as numerous study rooms on the third
floor. Students are frustrated
with the new rule.
"I used to go up there every night in order to get my
homework done because it is
the only place I can focus,"
sophomore Bryce Heathcock, said. "Now I can't go
there after 10 and it's affecting my school work."
The library doesn't cut it

The library at SDSU has
24/7 study areas accessible
to students. They have special food and drink areas
for late night munchies and
rooms to reserve for study
groups. Also featured, is a
quiet study area for those
who don't like noise when
studying.
Certain colleges are open
until 11 p.m. or even 1 a.m.
UCSD has various study
spots on campus that give
students 24/7 access for residents or during finals week.
Their campus is very accommodating to their students
when it comes to late night
studying.
CSUSM already has limited study spots as it is. To
take away a place where students get their work done is
discouraging. Hopefully the
student union, coming in the
next two years (hopefully),
will give students full access
to study rooms.
Until then, UPD and students should come to an
agreement about Markstein
Hall hours and give students
the freedom to study whenever.

Though these relationships
do not generally represent
the "traditional" mold, they
are agreed upon between
consenting adults.
If one of the parties withdraws their consent, it could
just as well become abuse, as
defined by Professor Laurie;
once pleasure is eliminated
from the picture. What you
are specifically reenacting
is not BDSM. Furthermore,
BDSM has a strong emphasis
on negotiation and consent
amongst the related partners.
Therefore, all suspicions and
accusations about BDSM
being of an abusive sexual
interaction should be withdrawn; because and I quote,
"If it's not pleasure, then it's
not BDSM!"

Improv spotlight: N icole Ignell
B Y JESSIE G A M B R E L L
G O - A & E EDITOR
Sophomore Nicole Ignell
started "improvising" with
the CSUSM Improv team
fall of 2011, but only just
started to actively participate
in the shows last semester.
Ignell was advised by Improv leader, Aaron Chase
Molina-Milbourne to join
the Improv team after she
expressed wanting to get
involved in a theater program. The Cougar Chronicle
sat down with Ignell to talk
about how improv has been
influential in her life.
Question: How has being involved in the Improv
team affected your life?
A: We are all super close;
we hang out outside of Im-
prov all the time. Mondays
and Tuesdays (when the
Improv Team meets) are the
highlights of my week. They
are my second family, I mean
I base and plan everything
around Improv. I definitely
feel like I 'm in it for the long
run, I love it.
Q: How else are you involved on the campus?
A: Well I am changing my
major to criminology with a
minor in mass media. Plus
I just joined (AOII) Alpha
Omega Pi. Our mission is to
help find the cure for women's arthritis; we just had our
"Pie a AOII" event to raise
money for our cause.
Q: What is your favorite
skit you preform?
A: Expert Challenge,
where you have two teams
and a person from one of the
teams starts to talk about a
subject, then someone from
the other team can step forward and call that person's
bluff (Sort of like the game
Malarky).
Q: Do you see yourself
doing improv as a career?
A: I thought about it as a
career path, but it's more of
a stress-reliever for me right
now. I had done improv in
high school, but never standup comedy. I had originally
joined this group because I
wanted to get involved in the
theater.
CSUSM Improv's next
show is 7 p jn. Friday, Oct.
26 in Arts 111. There will
also be an "adult" show
afterword at around 8:30
p jn.
fans had to say goodbye
to the "worlds best boss,"
Michael Scott (played by
Steve Carell). Though it was
a very heartwarming and
comedic-genius season, the
show hasn't been the same.
After many replacements
took over the Dunder-Mifflin
Sabre Branch in Scranton
(including guest star Will
Ferrell) and James Spader as
Dunder-Mifflin's new CEO
(after he replaced Kathy
Bates), and of course Dwight
K. Shrute, the writers decided that Ed Helms' character,
Andy Bernard should take
over.
Though
Bernard
has
changed dramatically since
his first season being on The
Office, transitioning from
Steve Carell is difficult. This
season will be the last for
The Office after a nine sea-
son run.
"The Mindy Project," however, is doing extremely well.
Kaling, who directs, writes
and stars in the show as Dr.
Mindy Lahiri, OB/GYN,
has won over fans after the
release of her autobiographic
cal memoir of life, love, and
the rules of friendship called
"Is Everyone Hanging Out
Without Me? (And Other
Concerns)" with comedy
and class. As Dr. Lahiri battles a social life and being an
amazing OB/GYN (a role she
created after her mother, who
passed away the day her pilot
was picked up) and finding
"true" love, she runs into a
few mishaps along the way.
Tune into the Mindy's life
at 9:30 p.m. Tuesday nights
on FOX and last season of
The Office 9 p.m. Thursday

What students should know about Syria
B Y ZACH SCHANZENBACH

Politicians have been saying

Syria is, but CSUSM students
don't realize how much i t
can directly affect t heir lives.
A fter weeks o f discussing the matter? i t looks as
though Syria, Russia and
the USA have reached an
agreement regarding Syria's chemical weapons. Regardless, this seems t o
have eased l ittle tension.
The main idea o f the deal,
according
to
President
Barack Obama, was simple
and really straightforward:
t o " mov[e] Syria's chemical
weapons under international c ontrol so t hat they may
ultimately be destroyed."
Anyone w ho has, been
keeping tabs on t he news
knows w hat Syria has been
up t o w ith its civil w ar
and
chemical
weapons.
Syrian president Bashar
al-Assad headed a shocking
chemical

attack on Syrian rebels, killing 1,429 people.

seemingly no

in considering an airstrike

questionnaire t hat measured
how much they considered
life and t heir personal situation a blessing. They were
also given a health survey
t hat measured t heir psychological and physical health.
They were examined f or
t heir attitudes on healthy activities, in regards t o n utrition,
exercise, personal well-being,
social well-being and drug
use. Participants were also
interviewed on t heir w illingness t o seek medical help
f or health concerns using
hypothetical case scenarios.
In addition, t heir person-
alities were taken into consideration, rating them on
levels of extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness,
neuroti-cism and openness.
The researchers cite previous studies, including how
conscientiousness and optimism have been linked t o
better health, and b etter behaviors that p romote health.
"Grateful individuals tend
t o r eport greater vitality and
agency, along w ith less anxiety. In addition, gratitude is
linked t o traits indicative o f
better physical health, including
conscientiousness,
emotional stability and optimism," the r eport said.
Previous
studies
have
utilized regular diaries in
which participants w rite
down something they are
thankful for, and review
i t at a later time. Various
bloggers and w riters have
encouraged similar ideas,
either daily o r weekly.
But why should CSUSM
students really even care
about being more optimistic
o r grateful? Many could argue t hat doing so makes no
major impact on themselves.
However, i t is suggested
t hat thoughtful gestures, the
giving of one's resources o r
volunteering t ime have a
positive affect on the giver.
Showing gratitude could
include making small unexpected changes, such as
w riting a thank you note
t o someone, tipping m ore
o r even just treating, a
friend t o lunch o r coffee.
In a June article by The
Harvard Business Review
entitled H ow Money A ctually
Buys
Happiness,
Elizabeth Dunn and Michael N orton cited multiple
moneywise parties, such as
Google and W arren Buffet.
They, and Buffet, encouraged
t o "give as a way t o enhance
one's emotional well-being."
"Spending even a few dollars on someone else can
trigger a boost in happiness.
In one study, w e found t hat
asking people t o spend as
l ittle as $5 on someone else
over the course o f a day made
t hem happier at t he end o f
that day than people w ho
spent t he $5 on themselves,"
Dunn and N orton said.
Being mentally and spiritually well are an i mportant
To CSUSM student, Anne
Hall, another war could
f urther divide the nation's
resources f rom crtical issues o n its o wn soil. Hall is a
veteran o f the United States
Coast Guard, w ho served as
a Marine Science Technician.
" The plight in Syria is a
humanitarian issue. I have
found t hat every country

struggles. They may appear

Mary Green, a member of
t he CSUSM women's soccer team, takes community
service t o a w hole new level.
This summer, Green and
65 members o f t he Eastside Christian Church in
Anaheim traveled t o Nairobi, Kenya f or t en days.
The s hort ¿ rip made a
large impact by connecting w ith over 1,200 children in amazing ways.
The group built a new
kitchen, culinary school
and opened a new medical
clinic at a local boarding
school. Green spent most
o f her t ime assisting at t he
medical clinic, w here she
saw over 275 children w ho
all had similar symptoms.
T he children w ere hungry,
dehydrated and suffer-
ing f rom local air pollution.
Green was overwhelmed
w ith t he feeling t hat t here
was nothing she could do
t o help them feel better.
W hile patients waited
in line t o be seen by t he
doctors, nurses and EMTs,
Green taught the children
how t o play leapfrog, charades and tag. Green also
prayed w ith the children, and
she even had the o pportunity
t o play her s port w ith them.
Green's favorite p art o f t he
soccer experience was seeing a few kids w ho had cleats
offer t o give t heir friends one
o f them. Some even played
in sandals. Watching t he kids
express joy while playing
t he game was very touching. A t t he end o f t he game,
t he volunteers gave each
participant a plastic medal.
A few days later, Green
saw some o f the soccer
kids. They showed her t hat
they w ere wearing t heir
medal under t heir clothes
and had never taken i t off.
A very special p art o f t he
t rip was when Green m et
a l ittle girl named Grace.
She had been sponsored by
t he Green family f or quite
some t ime. Green taught
Grace h ow t o blow a bubble w ith gum and h ow t o
jump rope. They continue t o
w rite letters t o each other.
This t rip made Green realize how w e all take t he
littlest things f or granted. I t
also confirmed h er desire t o
continue her education in t he
medical field so t hat she can
go back t o Kenya and help
m ore people in t he future.
Green demonstrates the importance o f n ot only being a

Getting an essential breakfast
B Y RACHEL GALLEGO

The f irst
thing you
should do when you wake
up i n the morning is take
the t ime t o eat breakfast.
Many do n ot realize why
breakfast is t he most i mportant meal o f t he day. A healthy
breakfast n ot only can give
you m ore energy, but i t can
also help c ontrol weight
and improve performance.
Studies have shown t hat
by eating a healthy breakfast, you are enhancing y our
m emory and concentration by fueling y our brain.
It is i mportant t o realize
t hat eating breakfast does
n ot mean donuts and coffee,
b ut rather one, like W ebMD
recommends, t hat consists
o f protein and w hole grains.
Protein helps t o make
you feel fuller, and fiber
has been linked w ith better concentration and energy. Researchers suggest
t hat people w ho consume a
healthier breakfast have m ore
energy t hroughout t he day.
It's especially i mportant
f or athletes t o consume a
healthy breakfast so t hat
they can get t he fuel needed f or high quality w orkouts,

Let's say t hat you w orkout

y our gym session? Surprisingly, most people reward
themselves w ith f ood after
workouts.They grab a burger,
milk shake o r medium fries.
Hate t o burst everyone's

t o c ut it. These bad habits
w ill actually inhibit a person's
ability t o achieve quick results. W e are all familiar w ith
t he cliché saying'you are w hat

weight, eating healthy is key.
Exercising has many benefits, such as strengthening t he bones, improving
mental health and mood,
lowering blood pressure,
improving cholesterol, reducing t he risk o f heart diseases, diabetes, breast cancer, colon cancer and more.
However, exercise is n ot t he
only solution f or weight-loss.
People have a b etter

Disney, H arry Potter and
folklore are among t he subjects professor Linda Pershing teaches. She talked about
her career in this interview.
Q: W hat is your educational background?
A : B.A. in Religious Studies from Occidental College
M A in Religion and Society
from Princeton Seminary
Ph.D. in A nthropology and
Folklore Studies f rom University of Texas, A ustin
Q: How did you decide
your field of study?
A : I was attracted t o t he
study of f olklore because o f
its focus on everyday expressive behavior and cultural traditions. Rather than
formal, institutional culture
and systems of knowledge,
folklore is t he vernacular,
informal and often unrecognized artistic and expressive
behavior t hat people use t o
convey t heir sense o f identity and t heir ideas about t he
w orld around them.
Q: Is there anything
you are currently researching?
A : Yes, IVe been w orking w ith a wonderful group
o f very motivated and very
smart students on t he folklore and culture o f H arry
Potter. W e dedicated all last
spring t o doing an in-depth
analysis o f t he many aspects
o f J.K. Rowling's magical
w orld, and they are w orking
w ith me this semester t o develop a new course on H arry
Potter, w hich w ill be offered
f or t he f irst t ime in Spring
2014.

Q: How did you end up
at CSUSM?
A s I grew up in Los Angeles and feel most at home
in California. I was a faculty
member at t he State University o f N ew York (SUNY)
Albany f or nine years, but I
wanted t o move back t o
California t o be closer t o my
family. In 2001,1 was hired as
t he f irst tenure-line faculty
member in Women's Studies.
Q: W hat classes do you
usually teach?
A : I teach a variety o f interdisciplinary courses (ID)
about t he politics o f culture.
For example, this semester I'm teaching a course
on deconstructing Disney
Animated Films. I also teach
courses about education as
social transformation, social
change movements, f ilm and
media, and I'll be teaching t he
new course on H arry Potter
f olklore and culture in t he
spring.
Q: W hat do you like
about teaching?
A : I made t he decision t o
pursue a Ph.D. and become
a university professor because I love w orking w ith
students and I love t o teach.
For me, education is t he key
t o changing t he w orld and
making i t a b etter place, one
in which all people are valued and protected. Much o f
my w ork focuses on social
justice, and all my teaching
includes a feminist and social
justice perspective.
Q: W hat do you hope
students learn from
taking your classes?
A : First, I w ant students
to learn t o ask t he deep and
often t roubling questions
about social structures and
hierarchies o f privilege and
power. Critical thinking skills
are central t o my courses. I
also w ork w ith students t o
develop t heir sense o f curiosity and self-worth, and
t heir determination t o give
back t o t he community.

What to expect studying abroad
HP
HH
Why Spain's education is 'all or nothing'
B Y GLORIA MAGALLANES
S TAFF W RITER
C ulture s hock is t he
phrase
t hat
comes
to
m ind w hen p eople ask
me
a bout
my
e xperience abroad last semester.
I believe t hat in o rder t o
go abroad, students s hould
be aware t hat i t takes a
l ittle
m ore e ffort
t han
meets t he eye. Students
need t o prepare t hemselves f or t he a djustment
o f living in a n ew c ountry.
T he process o f applying
isn't as t edious as students
may presume. As l ong as
y ou t urn in all t he r equired
p aperwork, y ou are f ree t o
begin y our p reparation t o
live abroad. Many students
may also be c oncerned
a bout t he p rice o f studying abroad, assuming i t is
v ery expensive. In reality,
i t is n ot as bad as i t seems.
I was relieved t o f ind o ut
t hat t he p rojected expenses w ere a ccurate w ith my
stay a broad in Valladolid,
Spain. F or t hose receiving FAFSA, y ou are f ortunate enough t o g et some
o f y our expenses covered.
T here are many o ther f inancial aid o pportunities if
y ou are lacking funds. T he
G lobal Education O ffice o ffers a v ariety o f scholarships
t o apply f or, and t here is always t he o ption o f accepting
subsidized loans if necessary.
T he amazing t hing a bout
s tudying in Spain is t hat
i t is a ffordable. H owever, s tudents need t o learn
h ow t o manage t heir bank
acscount and budget. Students should save t heir
m oney f or traveling w ith
f riends o n t he weekends.
A merican students also
have an advantage, being
t hat t hey are a native English
speaker. T here are many l ocals w illing t o pay t o have
English speakers t utor t hem
in t he evenings, and t hat
e xtra cash can be helpful.
T he u niversity system in
Europe is v ery d ifferent f rom
t he A merican educational
system. Spanish professors
d on't assign w eekly h omew o r k assignments, t ake r oll
call, c ount anything as p articipation o r give m idterms. Students are f ree f rom h omew o r k t he e ntire semester.
A lthough t his m ight seem
like heaven f or many, i t
d oesn't really feel like heaven in t he last weeks leading u p t o t he final exam.
T he professors rely solely
o n t he student's final exam
grade, as t hey have n othing
else t o base t heir scores
o ff o f. Talk a bout pressure.
T he way t hey teach is different as w ell. Professors
r arely use PowerPoints o r
a w hiteboard t o help w ith
t heir lessons. T hey o nly
give lectures. Spanish students also have a d ifferent
m ethod o f w riting notes.
Instead o f b ullet p oints o r
summaries o f t he lectures,
t hey w rite t he e ntire lecture o ut, w ord by w ord f rom
w hat t he p rofessor says.
T here really is n othing
similar a bout CSUSM and
t he u niversity I a ttended in
Spain. W e are a ccustomed
t o having o ur u niversity l ocated o n t he same p roperty. In Spain, t he u niversity
is d ivided i nto buildings according t o t he area o f study
and t hey are called faculties.
These faculties are dispersed a round t he city. Students w on't see themselves
going t o t he same faculty
as a business m ajor if t hey
are
studying
languages.
A lthough t his may seem
strange, in r eality i t is beneficial. Students g et t o k now
e veryone in t heir faculty
and i t gives t hem t he o pportunity t o m eet local
Spanish students in a t ightnit e nvironment. T he cafeteria ladies even seem
t o enjoy t he presence o f
s tudents'
familiar
faces.
A lthough all t his i nformation m ight seem like a t urnoff, believe m e w hen I say I
w ould d o i t all o ver again.
Maria Lopez, a f ellow CSUSM
s tudent, r ecent r eturnee, as
w ell as my c ompanion and
r oommate in Spain, also r eally enjoyed h er e xperience.
" I absolutely loved i t, I feel
t hat as students w e s hould
take e very o pportunity t hat
w e have t o g row as i ndividuals and studying abroad is
o ne o f t hem," Lopez said.
Studying and living in a
d ifferent c ountry is such an
u nforgettable and impacting
e xperience. T he p eople o ne
meets, t he places o ne sees
and t he o verall e nvironment
is s omething t hat w ill become a p art o f t hat p erson
forever. Students w ill gain
g reater understanding a bout
o ther c ultures and customs.
If y ou are a s tudent t hinking o f going abroad, d on't l et
t he o pportunity pass y ou by.

CFA T O H OST A DAY OF CLASS A CTION
NANCY ROSSIGNOL
P R I D E S TAFF W R I T E R
The California Faculty Association will host "A Day of
Class Action" at all 23 Cal State
campuses on Wednesday, April
13 as part of a national campaign in support of higher education and university employees.
CSUSM rally participants will
gather at noon in Cesar Chavez
Plaza, then walk to the Rotunda
in Craven Hall for refreshments,
live jazz and speakers from 12:15
- 1:30 p.m. An open mic session
will follow from 1:30 - 2 p.m.,
giving students, staff and faculty opportunities to voice their
concerns about major changes
to higher education, both nationally and locally. "Without clear,
vocal and very public statements
against the changes that are being proposed and/or have already
been enacted, higher education as
we currently know it will be seriously damaged," CFA Chapter
President and CSUSM Sociology
professor Donald Barrett said.
Concerns regarding funding and
the rights of employees and students are key issues surrounding
the event. These concerns include
budget cuts and resulting tuition
increases adversely affecting affordable higher education, threats
to faculty decision-making power
regarding class content, size and
delivery, elimination of major
courses, majors and minors and
the idea of students being viewed
in terms of cost/benefit ratios.

With less than two hours to
spare, Congressional heads and
President Barack Obama avoided
a government shutdown by creating a temporary budget deal,
which cuts $38 billion from federal spending, on Friday, April 8.
The dramatic negotiation process
concerned many citizens who
feared total government shutdown as funding would have
stopped at midnight last Friday
if lawmakers failed to reach an
agreement. After meeting into
late hours Friday night, lawmakers and White House negotiators
agreed on an arrangement to fund
government operations until the
end of September while still trimming billions from its previous
budget. President Obama, Senate Majority leader Harry Reid
and House Speaker John Boehner negotiated the agreement. As
first reported by the Associated
Press, President Obama signed
the measure Saturday, April 9,
but it still requires Congressional
approval, which is set to happen
during this week. According to
the Associated Press, initially,
"the administration was poised
to shutter federal services, from
national parks to tax-season help
centers and to send furlough notices to hundreds of thousands
of federal workers," which aids
to explain the long negotiations
that lasted to the last hours of the
deadline. The agreement tested
the strength of America's divided
government as Republicans and
Democrats searched for common
ground under a time constraint.
As first reported by the New York
Times, Boehner described the
negotiation process as "a lot of
discussion and a long fight." In
SEE, BUDGET, P.2

his address to the nation, President Obama remarked that the
deal is "a budget that invests in
our future while making the largest annual spending cut in our
history." He continued to emphasize the importance of Americans
"living within [their] means" as
an investment in future job markets. Republican initiatives to
reduce funding to Planned Parenthood and ease environmental
regulations caused much of the
censure in negotiating. While
these initiatives proved unsuccessful in the negotiation, many
citizens were concerned for the
fate of these federal programs.

visit to Planned Parenthood. With

CSUSM being approximately 61
percent female, the community
could easily have felt these effects.
CSUSM's Student Health
and Counseling Services, though
not directly tied to Planned Parenthood, offers similar services
and is funded through the state
and student fees. Because of its
alternate sources of funding,
Student Health and Counseling Services would still provide
reproductive health and education services should Planned
Parenthood cease to exist.

CALIFORNIA DROUGHT DECLARED OVER
GOVERNOR BROWN REPEALS FORMER WATER WORRIES
MORGAN HALL
LAYOUT ASSISTANT
On Wednesday, March 30,
Governor Jerry Brown announced an end to California's
three-year long drought after
one of the wettest winters since
1970, according to the state Department of Water Resources.
The stormy winter brought more
than 60 feet of snow in the Sierra
Nevada Mountains with more
snow expected to fall at the end
of this month. State officials report that the snowpack found in
the mountains is at 165 percent
of normal for this time of year.
When the snow melts, it should
supply farmers and residents all
across California with water during the summer in local lakes and
reservoirs. Governor Brown's
announcement repeals former
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's 2008 Declaration of a State
of Emergency because of three
years of extremely low water
levels. Schwarzenegger advocated conservation until water
levels rise and some cities imposed conservation measures on
its citizens. In 2009, the San
Diego region including here in
San Marcos, deemed to be at a
"level one" drought emergency,
which called for all citizens to
voluntarily conserve and reduce
water by 10 percent. Conservation measures set in place included, but were not limited to,
washing down paved surfaces,
repairing any inefficient landscape irrigation that leaks, wash-
ing vehicles with a bucket of
water and only watering residential and commercial landscapes
before 10 a.m. and after 6 p.m.
Cal State San Marcos did
its part in water conservation
by planting drought resistant
plants around campus that require less water. The news of
the drought being over left some
residents relived since they can
now water their lawns as much
as they like, wash their cars everyday and even enjoy a glass
of water without feeling guilty.
Governor Brown still asks the
California public to continue to
conserve water. "While this season's storms have lifted us out
of the drought, it's critical that
Californians continue to watch
their water use," said Brown
in his drought announcement.
Although Brown feels that the
drought is over for now, farmers
and water officials worry about
the future weather conditions.
Water agency officials suggest
that "The dry summer weather
could bring a return to drought
conditions." The high amounts of
snow and rain have left the California reservoirs at extremely
high levels, but many water districts are having a hard time storing the surplus of water. Most of
the older reservoirs in California,
including the ones that facilitate
water to San Diego, are not Temperance Flat Dam, which do not
have the ability to store water.

CSUSM CELEBRATES FACULTY SCHOLARSHIP, CREATIVE A CTIVITIES
JENNA JAUREGUI
FEATURES E D I T O R
They lecture you on psychology theories. They test your
knowledge of differential equations. They show you how to analyze poetry. They assign you pages of reading assignments. They
make you write lengthy papers.
Your professors are the captains of their college classrooms,
yet how many students truly
know their professors beyond
the credential abbreviations that
accompany their names? You
may see them throughout the
week, but few students take the
time to discuss anything besides
class material with their professors. If asked to list a few of
their professor's professional accomplishments, many students
will offer a blank stare. Most are
unaware that published works by
their very own professors line
the shelves in Kellogg Library.
Before and during their car-
ers as college employees, many
CSUSM professors proved their
scholarship in the professional
or creative world. Scholafly articles, research studies, scientific
experiments, and entire books
are the "feathers in their caps,"
bolstering their resumes and
qualifying them to educate future
scholars in their chosen fields.
Gerardo Gonzalez, Ph.D, saw
the gap between faculty accomplishments and student awareness of these merits. As the
Dean of Graduate Studies and
the Associate Vice President for
Research at CSUSM, he spearheaded the Celebration of Faculty
Scholarship and Creative Activities, an annual event that allows
students, faculty, and the community to share in CSUSM faculty research, writing, and other
achievements. Professors have
the opportunity to present their
projects in an informal group setting—each faculty member sets
up a display and discusses their
work with interested passersby.
On April 1, the second annual celebration event took place
in the Clarke Field House Sulpizio Family Grand Salon from
11 a.m. - 1 p.m. Over 30 faculty
members shared their accomplishments. Given the chance to
chat about subjects they are passionate about, the familiar professors beamed with fresh energy.
They eagerly conversed with the
students and other community
members who visited the event,
sharing their professional expertise with interested attendees.
Dr. Natalie Wilson, who teaches in the Literature and Writing
and Women's Studies departments
at CSUSM, recently published a
book titled "Seduced by Twilight:
The Allure and Contradictory
Messages of the Popular Saga."
She presented this book during
the event, and offered some comments regarding her experience:
Were
people
interested in your presentation of
"Seduced
by
Twilight?"
"Yes, many people expressed
genuine interest. At 'Twilight' fan
events interest is understandable,
but at an academic research event
such as this, I was happy to talk
to people from all across campus and the community - Deans,
faculty, students, and community
members - about how the saga
reveals a great deal about the
contemporary cultural moment."
What was your favorite thing about sharing your
work with staff and students?
"I particularly enjoy speaking
to people outside the 'target fan
base' regarding what they make
of the phenomenal success of
'Twilight.' One man compared it
to Beatlemania, and a fellow professor lamented that Bella Swan
is nothing like her favorite female
heroine, Nancy Drew. I also enjoy getting those who feel the
series is 'just entertainment' to
take a deeper look and consider
what messages this undeniable
cultural Zeitgeist is sending us
about love, romance, gender, and
sexuality as well as about two
areas people rarely consider race
(via the representation of Native
Americans as werewolves) and
religion (the author is Mormon)."
The event was a unique
chance to see CSUSM professors
"in their element," discussing topics they enjoy and sharing their
knowledge with others. Wilson
declared the celebration a success,
saying the room was "buzzing
with conversation." Organizers
expect a third annual event next
year, hoping to expand to a larger
location and schedule it on a day
when more students can attend.
If you missed this f un opportunity, try talking to your
professors about their work during their office hours. Many
would love to share their interests with eager students, and you
may learn something more than
the lessons they teach in class.

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
April 2011 is proving to be a
hybrid of sun and snow. Boots,
raincoats and hats have resurfaced before they had a chance to
dry out from the last rains of winter. A chilly start to spring means
some are still stuffing tissues in
their pockets. College students
are feeling the stress of the postmidterms crunch, leaving many
with weakened immune systems
thai are susceptible to any nearby sneeze. If the common cold
is what ails you, here are a few
remedies most everyone has at
home to help combat the sniffles
and leave you ready to take on
the semester's remaining weeks.
/iff
CVAin
Have some OJ with your
breakfast. Fresh squeezed orange
juice not is one of the most vitamin C rich foods in existence.
According to biologist Thomas
Peel, vitamin C is not only effective in fighting colds, but it helps
in the growth and rebuilding of
bone and muscle. Stay away from
chalky vitamin C wafers, as the
U.S. Food and Nutrition board
recommends nutrient intake primarily through foods rather than
multivitamins, since the latter are
synthetic and less easily absorbed.
Go lay out. Here in San Diego,
tanning in April is certainly not
out of the question. Getting some
sun helps your body produce vitamin D, and it can affect your
mood in a positive way. Seasonal
Affective Disorder (SAD, appropriately) is typified by depressed
moods during fall and winter,
mostly because of a vitamin D
deficiency, so start making up
for that lost sunlight ASAP. According to Mayo Clinic, vitamin
D is great for the body and mind.
Soup for the soul. The old
mantra as a standby for cold
treatment is more valid than you
might think. Soup has much
more water in it than other foods,
aiding in hydration when your
body is trying to fight off a cold
virus. Parsley and carrots, traditional chicken soup ingredients, are both rich in vitamin A.
Vitamin A helps keep eyes, skin
and mucous membranes moist,
in case that dry cough is getting
tough to handle (lifeclinic.com).

butter. This does not mean a Reese's binge is acceptable here,

but both foods are high in zinc,
which has the potential to shorten
the duration of a cold. Chocolate
candy with high concentrations
of cacao is preferred, according
to the USDA National Nutrient
Database. Organic peanut butter
made from oil-roasted peanuts
and minimal sweeteners is your
best bet; only 100 grams of peanuts or peanut butter provides
nearly half of the RDA of zinc.
Calm down with chamomile.
Sometimes colds cause an inflammatory response on the outside of your body, including the
eyes. Calm redness in your eyes
with the super anti-inflammatory
food, chamomile. Make a weak
tea, let it cool until it is barely
warmer than your skin, and rinse
your face with it. According to
the U.S. Food and Drug Ad-
ministration (FDA), chamomile
causes allergic reactions in some
individuals, so test the solution
on the inside of your wrist first.
Take a dip in the spa. Ashish Kalekar of inhouseremedy.
com said, "Nothing chases away
a bad case of congestion better
than some good ol' steam treatment." If you are lucky enough
to have access to a hot tub, this
is when to take advantage of it.
If not, take a bath or shower and
breathe deep. Modify this suggestion if you have fever with
steam concentrated on just your
face instead of your whole body.
Sleep it o f f . After a relaxing bit
of heat, change into some comfy
clothes and pass out. Psychology
Today explained that sleep is one
of the most important mechanisms
your body employs for healing.

STOP VIOLENCE IN ITS TRACKS
W OMEN'S CENTER TO HOLD ANNUAL TAKE BACK THE NIGHT EVENT
Domestic violence and sexual assault plague women every
day. On Thursday, April 14, the
CSUSM Women's Center will
hold its fifth annual Take Back
the Night event—an energized
occasion with a mission to "break
the silence that surrounds the issues of domestic violence and
sexual assault, and to demand
an end to gender violence," ac-
which is incredibly empowering."
"Four women die in the U.S.
each day from domestic violence—brutally murdered by the men who
claim to love them,"
Heidi Breuer, Ph.D.,
Assistant
Professor of Literature and
Writing Studies, said.
This alarming statistic means domestic
violence takes the
lives about 1,460 women each
year. Statistics on sexual assault against women also show
taught from a very young age to ing dance and spoken word. They
be fearful of the night. We are told are a powerful and inspirational
to stay inside and to be afraid of group of youth living in the lowincome neighborhood
of City Heights in
San Diego who are
finding empowerment
and educating others
through dance." Their
performance is only
the beginning. "We
will also have an interactive educational
walking outside at night. Even piece presented by the Center
though most violence against for Community Solutions, to
women happens at the hands of get students activity involved in
have the chance to share their
stories in a safe, affirming environment. "This is probably the
most powerful, healing aspect of
the whole event," Burgess-Carland said. "Speaking out about
your experience of abuse is truly
transformative. I have talked to
women at CSUSM who told me
that Take Back the Night was the
first time they ever talked about
what happened to them. To me,
this is the whole reason we have
the event. When people speak out
they can begin to heal, and start
moving from victim to survivor."
cording to Women's Center Director Lea Burgess-Carland.
The event, which will begin
at 5 p.m. in the Library Plaza,
is a place where people of all
ages and genders can gather to
find support and raise awareness. Specific information about
Take Back the Night is available at csusm.edu/wc/events.
Our campus is not the first to
host this event. Take Back the
Night is an international event
that has been around for 35 years
in hopes of bringing an end to
sexual assault and abuse. Burgess-Carland stated, " Often, victims of these crimes remain silent
out of fear, shame or feelings of
guilt. Fewer than five percent of
sexual assaults are reported to
the police, and many survivors
will never speak out about the
abuse they have suffered. This
can lead to feelings of isolation
and powerlessness. Take. Back
the Night provides an opportunity for people to speak out and
demand an end to these crimes,
a significant amount of problems
women face in their daily lives.
"Events like Take Back the
Night are necessary
because, while 54
percent of women say
they have been sexually assaulted, only
25 percent of men say
they have engaged
in sexual aggression
or forced sex," Prof.
Breuer
continued.
Burgess-Carland revealed, "Women aged
1 6 - 2 4 experience the
highest rates of sexual
assault and intimate
partner abuse. 1 in 5
women will be a sexually assaulted while she is in college!...] these ^ people in your
classes, people you work with and
people in your student organizations. It is a reality at CSUSM,
and we must demand an end."
Take Back the Night events
hope to reclaim safety and peace
of mind. "As women, we are
someone we know, the threat
of the 'stranger jumping out at
u s' at night is enough to keep us
Take Back The Night will
conclude with a march down
Twin Oaks Valley Road with hundreds of participants making a
physical statement that they will
no longer tolerate sexual abuse
and violence towards women.
"Take Back the Night is an
event for the entire community,
not just for women," BurgessCarland stated. "Although of
course we want to encourage all
women to attend, we hope that
men will come to support as well.
Men need to get involved in ending violence against women.
Without men working by our
side, it will never end. We also
acknowledge that many men
have also been victims of sexual
assault or domestic violence.
They are welcome and encouraged to come and speak out in
the circle and get help and resources as well. The Women's
Center, and Take Back the Night,
is here for all CSUSM students."

CSUSM track & field is
rounding the final corner of
the season before Nationals, competing at the Pomona Pitzer Invitational on
Saturday. With that event
in the book, Coach Steve
Scott's athletes have four
more chances to punch their
ticket to the NAIA National
Championships by meeting the qualifying marks.
The Cougars had plenty
of highlights on Saturday, as
well as plenty of close calls.
Suzanne Cornwell met
the "B" qualifying standard
in the 1,500-meter run with
her time of 4:41.63, good
for 11th place at the event.
Michelle Cruz finished
10th in the 800-meter run
at 2:17.15, just about a second off the "B" standard.
On the men's side, Daniel
Lyon easily met the "A" standard in the 5,000-meter run,
and, while doing so, recorded
the team's best finish of the
day. Lyon ran 14:36.95, over
eight seconds ahead of the
" A" standard, to place second.
Four-time Ail-American
Brett Campfield posted another impressive finish, taking third in the 1 ^00-meter dash.
His time of
3:51.97 is well ahead of
the event's "A" standard.
Coach Scott's track &
field team will next compete at the Mt. Sac Invitational, starting this Thursday.

§weep on the day and series sweep
Mr the season, #4-ranked Cal
State San Marcos looked sharp
at home against Biola University
on Friday, winning 5-0 and 8-0.
The
#4-ranked
Cougars
improved to 33-6 on the season? Biola dropped to 23-19.
Pitcher B rennatj Sandberg
was lights-out in both games,
throwing all 13 innings on the
day and holding Biotk scoreless. The wins improve Sand-
berg's NAIA-best record to 295. She allowed just three hits ml
both games, striking out nine in
the first and six in the second.
Sandberg had plenty of support, both at the plate and in the
field. Biola's best scoring chance
in game one came in the third inning, as the Eagi$s moved two
runners j nto scoring position with
one out. But a mediuin-shallow
i ly ball was caught by left fielder
Alicia Ingram, and she gunned out
the runner at home with a perfect
throw to keep the shutout intact.
At the plate in game one,
CSUSM jumped out to a 2-0 lead
in the first and never looked back.
Derrisha Lacey led off by driving
a triple to the left-centerfieldgap,
and after Alicia Ingram walked
and stole second, Alex Miller
drew a walk to load the bases.
Shanti Poston plated Lacey with
a sac fly, and Ingram would come
home to score on a wild pitch.
With the score 3-0 in the
fifth, the Cougars would put
it otit of reach,i C urtesy of an
RBI single f romfKimi Villalpando and a fielder's choice
by Theresa Houle where pinch
runner Brittney Guy beat the
throw home on a ground ball.
Game two Would stay scoreless for a couple innings, but
the Cougar offense strung a few
crooked numbers together in the
middle innings to end it after six.
First baseman Alyssa Dronenburg got things goiftg in the
third, just crushing a no-dteifctabout-it two-run home run over
the fence in left. CSUSM would
plate two the following frame as
well, with Heavin-Lee Rodriguez
driving in a ifun with a base hit
and scoring on a Lacey single.
The Cougars came close to
ending it in the fifth, scoring
three times to make it 7-0. Theresa Houle drilled her second
double of the day, plating Miller
and Dronenburg, and Jalisa Mc-|
CaJfel would add a deep sacrifice fly later in the inning,
CSUSM wasted little time
closing things out in the Seventh. Kaitlin McGinley led off
by beating out an infield single,
stealing second and coming
home on a Miller triple to right.

son. Chapman improves to 22-5.
Chapman did the bulk of its
damage in the third inning, where
with two outs second baseman
Tyler Hadzinsky knocked a bases-clearing three-run double off
Cougar starter Adam Bileckyj,
who otherwise was very solid.
Bileckyj
uncharacteristically
walked four batters, but struck out
four as well and allowed just four
hits in his six innings of work.
The Cougar offense broke
through in the fifth, with Victor
Serna and Kyle Secciani drawing
walks, Johnny Omahen sacrificing them over, and Serna scoring
on a passed ball to cut it to 3-1.
Chapman would pick up
what turned out to be a crucial
insurance run in the bottom of
the frame, as CSUSM continued to chip away at the lead. A
Mike Mecucci sac fly cut it to
4-2 in the sixth, and Trent Jemmett's RBI single made it 4-3 in
the seventh, but with the bases
loaded and one out the Cougars
would fail to plate any more runs.
With reliever Kyle Smart
working two perfect innings on the
mound, CSUSM had its chance to
complete the comeback, loading
the bases again in the ninth. But
Chapman reliever Kyle Tachibana induced a fly-out to strand
the tying run at third, sending
the Cougars home disappointed.

Art communities may be the
first targets for budget cuts, but
they are also the first to help others in need. April 21 - 27, the
Art Association at CSUSM is
holding an art auction to benefit
relief efforts in Japan. All of the
proceeds go towards the victims
affected by the earthquakes and
tsunami floods that devastated
the country on March 11.
Strong aftershocks from the
initial earthquake continue to
shake Japan, reaching up to
magnitude 7.1 and causing more
deaths and destruction. The horrific images and heart-breaking
stories plastered in newspapers across America have many
people wondering what they
can do to help. One way that
CSUSM students can contribute
to the relief effort is to donate
art and attend the art auction.
Students can drop off their art
submissions on April 18, 19 and
20 during U-hour in Arts 111.
All mediums are accepted. Email
your name, title of your art piece
and medium to Morgan Hefley
at hefle003@cougars.csusm.edu.
Bidding begins April 21 and ends
on the 27. Hefley was able to answer some questions regarding
the art auction; additional information is available at csusm.edu/
n ews/articles/ArtsAuction.
The Pride: What inspired
this idea? How did the
idea of a benefit art
auction come to be?
Morgan Hefley: The
benefit art auction idea
started with the willingness of Arts Association, artists last
spring, when we
all decided to do
a similar event,
The Hope for
Haiti Art Auction, to help
aid
Haiti.
The auction was
s uccessful and
w -e
be best directed towards
aiding Japan.
T P:
were
a ble
to
send
over $200 via
the Red Cross to Haiti
in their time of need. At the
beginning of this semester we decided to do a second philanthropy
gallery and began looking for a
cause to which we could donate.
We started working towards one
particular cause, but the dual natural disaster in Japan essentially
fell into our laps. No one had any
idea that this would occur, and
it seemed that our event would
does the
hope to raise?
MH: We would like raise as
much money as possible. If I
might make so bold as to throw
a number out, I would love to see
us raise at least $400 dollars. But
it largely depends on the nymber
of art submissions in the gallery,
how much the artist will place for
the opening bid and of course,
those bidding on the art. The
last Art Auction resulted in just
over $200; I would love for
that to be essentially
doubled.
TP: Do
art
submissions for the
auction need to
be of a particular skill level?
MH: The Art
Association
accepts and encourages
all CSUSM students,
whether members of
Arts Association or not,
to exhibit their work in the
galleries. All of our exhibits are the result of the hard
work, ingenuity and creativity
of CSUSM students. In any of
our galleries, not just the benefit
auction, we only ask that students
take pride in their work and others
work by submitting their best.
T P: Where will the money go?
In what form will it be donated?
MH: All of the proceeds, like
the last Art Auction, will be donated to Japan through the Red
Cross. I do want to be specific
that all the proceeds will be going to Japan, not a percentage.
TP: If this event is a success,
will there be other possible auctions for different charities?
MH: I think it is safe to say
that if these benefit art auctions
continue to be a success, that the
students of CSUSM will see more
of this caliber of events. However, it depends largely on the
members of the Art Association
as well as the executive officers,
who decide whether they want to
pursue these events or not. Several of us are graduating, and new
executive members will be taking
the helm next semester. We hope
to hold elections by the end of
this semester, and any CSUSM
students who wish to become
an integral part of this awesome
art community and help plan
such events as the Art Auction
for Japan are welcome to run.
TP: Do you have any words
of encouragement for artistic students who may be hesitant to submit their work?
MH: Again, I would like emphasize that the Art Association
welcomes and encourages all
CSUSM students, whether members of the Art Association or not,
to submit their work,. This is the
students' Art Association. It belongs to all of us, and we want
to see your projects and magnum
opuses receive all the attention
they deserve. We provide the opportunity for the entire CSUSM
student body, as well as faculty
and visiting community to view
it. So far, for this Art Auction,
we have a tentative schedule of
submissions of photography,
paintings and jewelry design.
We hope to see more as we get
closer to the exhibit installation,
which is on April 18, 19 and 20
from noon - 1 p.m. in the Arts
lobby outside of Arts 111.

�THE DIGITAL DELUGE
ARTS & LECTURES PRESENTS W ORK BY M AUREEN DRDAK
RYAN
DOWNS
P R I D E STAFF W R I T E R
We may see images everywhere, but when was the last
time we truly understood a piece
of legitimate art? Accomplished
painter Maureen Drdak intends
to answer the question with her
lecture on twenty-first century
global art. At 7 p.m. tonight,
CSUSM's Arts & Lectures series
premieres the "Insanity, Creativity, and Communication: the
Digital Deluge and its Challenges
for the 21st Century Global Artist," for f ree, in Clark 113. The
event is a great opportunity for
aspiring painters and art enthusiasts to learn more about the nature of contemplative art and its
lacking presence in modern society. Most importantly though,
guests will learn cases of how
the creative processes and relevance of the modern artist may
be threatened by the overwhelming affect of digital imagery.
Drdak plans to showcase her
many works and explain the significance of historical contemplative practices and their relevance
to the modern artist. Her works,
like most traditional paintings,
require meditation in order for a
viewer to enjoy and are a stark
contrast to the digital imagery
that seems to constantly overwhelm modern senses. "She's
looking at historic practices,
contemplative practice, which
involves [sic] creating artwork
with a very deep focus that leads
to a greater understanding of the
work," said Professor Tony Allard, who proposed the lecture
after meeting Drdak in Reno.
"What Maureen [Drdak] is emphasizing," Prof. Allard continued, "is the contemplative practice
of paintings in which you experience the work on a much more
fundamental level, and you experience the content of that work
in a more comprehensive way."
Drdak emphasizes the necessity for contemplation in art,
stressing the point of what the
purpose of art is. She does not
only present a pretty image to
look at, but she uses imagery to
convey an emotion, even when
the typical American is not always interested in deep contemplative thought. Through understanding meditative paintings, the
viewer in turn comes to a deeper
understanding of a greater work
of art: global human culture.
Drdak plans to speak about
the necessity of archetypes in
art and their relevance to global
cultures, which, until recently
in human history, would have
never mingled, yet all share similar attitudes and stories spoken
through their art. Through the
study of all the aforementioned
archetypes, we can achieve a
better understanding of the similarities we all share. To better
understand art, is to better understand what it means to be human.

What if two common parts of
a college student's life, studying and cell phone use, were
combined? The Study Droid
application indeed combined
the two, compatible for popular Android smart phones. The
Study Droid app enables users
to create note cards or flashcards
for any topic imaginable. Users may edit virtual cards, and
pictures from your phone can
also be placed on the cards. You
create each note card individually, with both the back and front
available for text and pictures.
Consumers download this
application for free at either
www.studydroid.com
or directly from the market on the
phone itself. The website offers tutorials and explanations
on how to create the note cards
and allows downloads and syncing of note cards from the site.
The app allows fellow Android
owners to share flashcards by giving out the name or URL of the
flashcard pack. There is also the
option to download, or "clone,"
and personally edit previously
created packs. Although app
purchasers can share and clone
flashcard packs, some users use
security settings so they may only
view and edit their own packs.
When studying for midterms,
finals or quizzes, this application is useful for the busy college student on the go. A quick
and easy download and creation
of the note cards resolves the
problems of illegible handwriting, a messy stack of cards and
the purchasing of physical, paper note cards. The old school
way of studying flashcards may
still appeal to some students, but
the Study Droid correlates with
the convenience of technology.

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
The world is much different
than it was just 30 years ago.
Technology makes communication possible when there's literally a planet between two people.
It's true, though, that the notion of texting a best friend or
loved one is much less romanticized than a kindly crafted letter
sent through snail mail. Phone
calls, while becoming increasingly less-expensive methods
of cross-country communication, still lack that truly personal
feeling. Skype is too dependent
on the strength of one's Internet
connectivity to contend with the
aforementioned methods, so we
won't bother with that for now.
It seems (to me, anyway),
that the best form to communicate with someone you're
missing is to find him or her
in your daily life. And that is
exactly what Irish songstress
Lisa Hannigan accomplishes in
the most poetic way possible.
Irish native Lisa Hannigan
was born in 1981 in County
Meath. She began performing professionally with fellow
Irish musician Damien Rice in
2001, mostly singing with him
on recordings and occasionally contributing guitar or bass
in live performances. Hannigan
also appears on recordings with
The Frames, Snow Patrol lead
singer Gary Lightbody and the
late Mic Christopher. Hannigan
focused the majority of her career on backup singing for Rice.
In 2007, Hannigan and Rice
had a "falling out" of sorts, and
she immediately left his tour
to begin solo work. In early
2009, "Sea Sew," her debut album, was released in the States.
Hannigan's quietly powerful, breathy vocals combine with
ethereal poetic styling to produce
tracks with as much soul as they
have substance. "Sea Sew" contains songs that seem to address
an unnamed love interest (or a few
of them) Hannigan calls "gentle
spoken friendfs]" or "my love."
E NN
Phot^^îne^^^^w^^^e^pic^re^^^^photo^et
"An Ocean and a Rock," the
first track off "Sea Sew," portrays Hannigan as someone going
about her day with someone so
strongly in her mind that he or she
is in her overcoat, her coffee, and
clearly, her mind. "I spoon you
into my coffee cup / I spin you
through a delicate wash / I wear
you all day," Hannigan hums. She
finds this person in everything
she touches, proclaiming that
the distance that "an ocean and
a rock" creates means nothing to
her. Cheerful strings, jazzy drums
and a tender guitar complete the
hopeful song's orchestration.
Perhaps Hannigan was on tour
when she wrote this song, halflamenting of the space between a
dear friend and her. People's lives
take different roads more frequently than some might prefer,
but coping with the distance is as
easy as using your day to remember what (and who) you love.
Hannigan
is
currently
on tour throughout Ireland.

HAPPY H OUR O F THE WEEK: BULLY'S DEL MAR
CHRIS GIANCAMILLI
MEDIA MANAGER
From the outside, Bully's
North Del Mar might not
seem like an inviting hotspot for food and drinks . The
name alone links the mind
to dive bars full of knifewielding bikers. Don't be
fooled, though. Bully's is
an enjoyable place to gather
up the group and treat each
other to a night of succulent
STUDENT
food and refreshing drinks.
Bully's is by no means a
large bar, but what it lacks
in size, it makes up for in
substance. Since the bar is
just a short drive from the
Del Mar racetrack, it features a number of interesting racehorse memorabilia.
Bully's perfectly melds
old school hardwood bars
with a racehorse theme.
Happy hour at Bully's
begins at 3 p.m. on Mondays - Fridays and ends at
7 p.m. On Sunday - Thurs-
day, a different happy hour
occurs from 10 p.m. - closing. During Bully's Happy
Hour, the bar serves $3 bottled beer, $3 domestic pints,
$4 microbrew pints, $3
house wine glasses, $6 wine
glasses and half-price appetizers. Bully's offers a wide
variety of beers on tap like
Sierra Nevada, Yellowtail
Pale Ale, Blue Moon, Stella
Artois, Newcastle, Fat Tire,
Guinness and Stone. The
bar serves several types of
wines such as Cabernet Sau-
A •• "TQ* Time" by Faith
vignon, Pinot Noir, White
Zinfandel, Merlot, Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio.
During Happy Hour, halfprice appetizers include the
prime rib quesadilla, Cajún
chicken bits, crab-stuffed
mushrooms, fried zucchini, calamari strips, jalapeno poppers, sautéed mushrooms, peel-and-eat shrimp
and a sampler platter.
If appetizers aren't your
thing, the dinner menu at
Bully's is enough to satisfy any hungry bar patron.
From the filet mignon to
porterhouse, steak is king at
Bully's, and it shows. However, there's more to Bully's
than just its steak. Although
it can be a bit expensive, the
menu boasts a large number of sandwiches, seafood,
salads, soups and desserts.
Bully's is located at 1401
Camino Del Mar in Del
Mar. Whether for food or
drinks, Bully's will have
you racing back for more.

Earthquake safety has become
increasingly more important
with the earthquakes in Haiti,
Chile, and more recently on
Easter Sunday, a 7.2 earthquake
in Baja California, less than
160 miles away from campus.
California State University San
Marcos is proud of their emergency protocols and earthquake
safety procedures are just one
of the many plans available to
students and staff. The campus
has an Emergency Plan that
is available online. The plan
consists of a list of priorities
that safety staff will follow in
case of a disaster. The campus,
including the University Police,
is well prepared for any sort of
disaster or natural occurrence.
The Police force is very prepared and Lt. McManus made
it clear that in the case of a devastating earthquake, University Police would b^ on campus
as soon as possible. "The
downside to these big disasters
is if it is big enough to damage

quite tied up." If that were to
happen, campus police have an
emergency plan that consists
of therp calling on back up,
whether it is the San Marcos
Sheriff's Department or San
Diego Police Department.
Although, if a big tragedy
such as an earthquake was to
happen, that might not be the
best course of action.
Recently, universities have
joined together to form the
Critical Response Unit. This
Unit consists of 1-6 officers
from each campus specially
trained three to four times a
year to be part of this team.
The Critical Response Unit is
available when the local law
e nforcement is not. "Within
twenty-four
hours,
[campus police] will have
upwards of about fifty officers

not the only ones on
campus organized for
catastrophes. The CSUSM website offers many links to disaster
preparedness as well as contact
information to Dean Manship,
CSUSM's Emergency Manager.
Earthquake preparedness measures are just one of the multiple procedures available to students and staff. "Drop, cover,
and hold on," is the first rule
and the most important. If an
earthquake were to happen on
campus, the priority would be
to protect oneself. If outside, go
to a clear area away from trees
or buildings and the possibility of having something fall on
you. If inside, drop, cover, and
hold on until the earthquake is
over.

It is a nice blend of the large interface of a computer and the quick

downsides of the product, especially the lack of a tactile keyboard,
but this new large device has created its own niche.
I do not think it was meant to be

Last, there is the HD2 by HTC,
which is hard to call a cell phone.
Its large, high-resolution screen and
Internet capabilities rival early computers. This device dwarfs previous
phones that were considered large.
The HD2 can do more than
make calls and sends texts. Users
can browse the full Internet, rent
streaming movies from Netflix,
and compose Microsoft Word documents. It boasts one of the best
processors amongst phones, which
makes me think that this is the prelude to an exciting future where
people have one device that does
everything.
All three of these new larger
devices could one day come
together in a world where people
have one device for calls, communication, music, media, and gaming. It
seems the days of making devices
as small as possible are over. Everything is going to be bigger and more
loaded for the next couple of years.

G rand opening of disc golf course at C SUSM, April 14
THE PRIDE
San Marcos, CA - The o fficial grand opening of the
California State University
San Marcos (CSUSM) Disc
Golf Course will be held in a
ribbon cutting ceremony from
ll:30am-l:oo pm on Wednesday, April 14, 2010 at the
Forum Plaza located near the
Kellogg Library.
Disc golf, like traditional
golf, is a game where the
objective is to advance to the
target with as few strokes
(or throws) possible. Instead
of using clubs and a ball, a
flying disc is released toward
the target which is a standing basket. The sport can be
played individually or as a
group,
CSUSM Campus Recreation, led by Director Hugo
Lëcomte, chose construction
of the course as its primary
project this year. ASI is a student run 501(c)3 organization that oversees many of the
student life organizations on
campus.
"As a University actively
engaged in the life of our students and the community we
serve, the new disc golf course
will serve our goal of making
CSUSM a destination location
for those seeking a positive
environment for recreation,"
said Lecomte, noting that oncampus recreational activities
are contributing factors to student success, providing exercise, opportunities for socializing and a stronger sense of
home for students.
In addition to recreational
use, the course will provide
opportunities for both the
College of Education and the
Kinesiology Department in
the College of Arts and Sciences to conduct pedagogical
instruction.
The no fee course will also
be open to community members who can play the course
as it winds through campus.

CSUSM students will be helping increase

Road to College Tour.
CSU students and representatives as well as
AT&T representatives will travel on a tour bus

The Tour starts on April 12 and runs through

The Tour is attempting to raise more awareness by attempting to bring in legislators, city

The happiest time on earth: h appy hour
BY SANDRA CHALMERS
Editor-in-Chief
A good drink and an appetizing small
bite for less than $10 is music to many stu-,
dents' ears.
There is no argument that happy hour
is the best hour, and here in North County
even the smallest joints serve up a good
variety of drinks and dishes for an affordable price.
liappy hour offers the best ofboth worlds,
the ability to try new food and drinks withogitfae remorse ofpáying too much for something that disagreed with your taste palate.
Rooking to branch out away from the traditional bar and tavern foods, trying a wine
bar with more international delights can
satisfy an adventurous craving.
Vinz Witie Bar in Escondido introduces
their "happiest hours" menu with more that
10 different wine selections for less that $6
a glass. Their wine ranges from Argen-
tina, South Africa, Italy and even Sonoma.
Bottled domestic beer offered at $2 while
imports such as New Castle and Heineken
go for $3.
Good eats at Vinz range from sweet
potato Cajun fries for $3 to German Schlyders for $5, every item on the menu stays
below $5.
A Yelp reviewer gives Vinz a five star
rating noting its cute décor and its varied
vine selection.
Almost a neighbor to Vinz is Tango Restaurant and Lounge. Tango offers happy
hour specials six days a week in their lounge
area. Their happy hour menu offers 50 percent off bar-drink specials. Available on
Tuesdays, $2 tacos, margaritas, and stone
draft make Tango an easy way to dress up a
potentially boring TUesday night.
For a less club feel and a more relaxed
atmosphere, D Street Bar and Grill in
Encinitas delivers more of a selection of
comfort food and drinks. No fancy drinks
with hard to pronounce names, just familiar $3 bottled beer, and $4 margaritas, bloody
tastes. This no surprise, straightforward, Mary's and mimosas on Sundays only.
happy hour hot spot offers chili cheese
fries, nachos grande, and calamari rings.
Enjoy happy hour responsibly, by indulging in cheap drinks and good eats often.

Also, there are other factors associated with NREM and REM sleep for
students to consider when approaching these sleeping patterns. One of
the main reasons is that student's do

simply is not enough time in the day
for sleep. Along with time constraints
and environment cues, which include
light vs. dark, student's sleeping patterns largely affect the type of sleep
they are getting.
The National Heart and Blood Institute reveals, "Tlie clock directs the
rhythmic secretion of hormones, such
as melatonin, that influence our sleep
cycle. If the biological clock gets out
of phase with the environment, various
types of sleep problems can result."
For students, getting sleep is an
important aspect to their health and
success for their education. How-
ever, sleeping problems are common
amongst students with poor sleep patterns and there are many different factors that affect the quality and quantity
of sleep students can get.
According to the National Heart and
Blood Institute, "Poor sleep hygiene
and/or biological factors can lead to
a variety of sleep disorders such as
insomnia, narcolepsy, apnea, and restless legs syndrome." Along with these
factors, "Sleep loss has a number of
negative impacts on society, including
loss of productivity, increased accident rates, increased vehicle crashes,
and medical consequences" Sleep
proves to be a very important aspect
to consider for students, in order to be
productive and successful within their
classes and lives.

Ashman's late home run earns split against
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
Ciera Ashman's two-run
home run in the sixth inning of
game two secured a very hardfought split for CSUSM Softball
at home against Azusa Pacific.
CSUSM lost first game 4-3 in
extras and won the second 2-0.
#16-ranked Cal State San
Marcos is now 29-11 on the
season, while Azusa Pacific is
22-17.
After the game one loss, Ashman's late long ball gained extra
significance, as this veteran
Cougar team once again proved
its resilience by bouncing back
from a very tough defeat.
Azusa Pacific came in to
game one with a smart approach
against CSUSM ace and NAIA
wins leader Brenna Sandberg.
As opposed to swinging for
the fences, APU worked the
count, put the ball in play, and
put pressure on the defense, and
successfully generated a pair of
runs.
Down 2-0 in the sixth inning
though, CSUSM would rally.
With two outs and Alyssa
Dronenburg on first, Shanti
Poston and Kimi Villalpando
hit solid singles, with the latter
driving home Dronenburg. The
throw home got away from the
catcher, and Poston was able to
slide home safely with the tying
run.
The game went to extra
innings, where Azusa Pacific
took immediate advantage of
the international tiebreaker.
APU bunted its runner over
to third, and a bloop single
brought her home. Later in the
inning, a two-out double would
make it 4-2.
CSUSM would not go down
quietly though, with Dronenburg leading off with a single
to put runners on the corners.
A double-steal then brought
the run home but cost the Cougars their baserunner; however, Lauren Nelson and Erica
Coelho drew back-to-back
walks, putting the winning run
on base. After a strikeout, an
infield pop-up appeared to drop
in, but interference was called
on Nelson rounding third to end
the ballgame.
Pitcher Brenna Sandberg
went all 8 innings, allowing
3 earned runs on 10 hits. She
walked 2 and struck out 5 batters.
After that loss - just the third
in now 20 games at CSUSM
Softball Field - Sandberg and
her team needed to rally for
game two, and they did.
Sandberg was excellent on
the mound, surrendering just
4 hits in yet another complete
game effort. She walked none
and struck .

Learn h ow to surf in N orth C ounty
Catch some waves and Optimize the summer experience
BY MALLANE DRESSEL
Pride Staff Writer
Beach, sun, and surf exemplify the perfect summer, and
one of the best ways to enjoy
these features is by flowing
with one of nature's greatest
wonders in the act of surfing.
The benefits are endless for the
person who embarks on this
great adventure of learning how
to surf.
Personal health should be
important to everybody, and
there is no greater way to get
into shape than by doing an athletic activity that is more fun
than work. MSNBC recently
reported on how surfing is not
only meditative, but great for
the body as well, by presenting
the notion that "dedicated surfers accidentally build physiques
that health-club acolytes would
trade their memberships for."
Also appearing in the report was
Dr. Mark Renneker, a renowned
big-wave rider in San Francisco who recommends surfing
to his non-surfing patients who
suffer from high blood pressure, repetitive strain injuries,
and chemical addictions.
Long time suffers are known
to refer to surfing's other
healing properties, such as
expressed in this testimonial of
a local surfer, "It [puts] you one
with nature, clears your soul of
bad vibes, and can make you
more humble." For whatever the
reason surfing seems appealing,
the experience may even create
more reasons to be drawn to it,
such as the "stoke" of surfing,
an indescribable feeling that
consumes surfers, causing them
to always want more time in the
water.
A crash course in surfing is
best done through instruction,
and due west of San Marcos
there happen to be two camps
that teach children as well as
adults for a decent price. Gerry
Kantor, surfing since the 60s
in the San Diego area, heads
Leucadia Surf. His business is
very reputable since he requires
that all instructors have several water safety certifications,
be avid long time surfers, and
either be a college graduate or
a current college student. The
instructors are also thoroughly
trained and given specific written guidelines for instruction.
Leucadia Surf's set up is on
Moonlight Beach, which they
boast as having "[some] of the
best beginner waves in San
Diego." Depending on if the
participant wants one on one
instruction or group, the cost
can range from $60 to $120 for
a two-hour session. The lesson
also includes the use of a board
and wetsuit.
Another surf camp located
close by is So Cal Surf Lessons,
conducted at North Carlsbad
State Beach, Frazee. Rusty Friesen, a pro surfer, established
this instructional surf business,
which follows similar guide-
lines as Leucadia Surf, in the
summer of 2004. They are a
little cheaper, providing lessons
in the $55 to $95 range, including a free hour of board rental
for students after their lesson.
If a beginner would rather
take on surfing on their own,
they can also rent boards for $8
an hour or $30 for a day, and
wetsuiis for $5 an hour or $20
a day from the establishment,
So Cal Surf Lessons. The surf
shop, Progression Surf, located
on the coast highway in Leucadia rents out soft boards at $20
a day, and $40 for a hard board
for the day. The only complication may be transporting it to
the be&ch.
If beginners try to brave this
sport on their own, they should
acquire a longboard because it
will be easier to stand up on,
obtain a few helpful tips, and
have the ability to swim well. It
sounds funny, but the best way
to learn to pop up on the board is
by practicing on the beach. Put
the board on the sand, and then
lay on it. Next, place the hands
on the board underneath your
shoulders as if doing a push up,
then push up, and slip the feet
separated onto the middle of the
board, in a semi-crouched, and
sideways stance.
<
Once the pop-up is perfected
the next big feat is to make it out
to the waves. The perfect paddling power comes from correct
balance on the board, and alternating arms rapidly. Getting
through the waves can be chal- the nose of the board digs into
lenging, but the more momen- the water. When an agreeable
tum obtained in paddling, the wave appears on the horizon,
more successful the participant they should orient themselves

is to turtle the board. To turtle the practiced pop-up. If all goes

very angry that the tuition has

not the way it did." According to
Dr. Powell, she and other faculty
are willing to support students,
should they decide to hold rallies on campus. "All along we've
said we support the students," Dr.
Powell said, "and we still are."
According to Dr. Powell,
CSUSM's commuter culture may
be partly to blame for the lack
of organization when it comes
to rallies, especially compared
to other state universities. Dr.
Powell added, "Support from us
is there, students are going to

dents that are setting the standard in the CSU
system "
In the three and a half years since Dr. Haynes
has been president at CSUSM, the campus
has witnessed the university's expansion with
new facilities and programs including: Markstein Hall, which is now home to the College
of Business Administration, the new nursing
program, both women's and men's soccer programs, baseball and softball, and what is currently underway, the Center for Children and
Families.
Dr. Haynes currently serves on the Board of
Directors of the San Diego North Economic
Development Corporation. She also serves in
leadership roles with the American Association of State Colleges and Universities and the
American Council of Education. Statewide,
Dr. Haynes represents the region in higher
educational issues of extended education and
accountability through the CSU Task Force on
Accountability and the CSU Commission on
Higher Education.
Dr. Haynes said, "I am proud to be recognized with so many other women leaders who
are making a difference. This is an exciting time
for Cal State as we continue to lead initiatives
and partnerships to meet community needs."

as well. Once the Board of
Trustees ratifies the contract, it
will be final.
On April 3, the Chancellor's
Office presented a contract to the
CFA, halting what would be the
first strike ever in the history of the
California State University system.
When Dr. Janet Powell, President
of the San Marcos chapter of the
CFA, learned that the CFA was not
going on strike, she said it was like
a "sigh of relief." When speaking
of the strike, "No one," Dr. Powell
said, wanted to do this."
According to Dr. Powell, when
the CFA's struggle may be over,
another struggle has just begun.
Thousands of students across the
CSU will be taking part in student rallies against the tuition
raise students must pay in the
fall. "CSU students have already
been hit with 76% increases in
student fees since 2002, and this
additional hike would bring that
to 94%. We urge CSU management to fight for the students
by calling on the Legislature to
include those additional funds in
the budget for next year- so that
a fee hike will not be necessary,"
said CFA President John Travis.
Dr. Powell said, "We're still
94% of the CFA voted to go on
strike, the result brought the
Chancellor's Office to the immediate realization that the faculty
were indeed willing to go on
strike for fair pay. The vote, Dr.
Powell believes, acted as a catalyst in the collective bargaining
process. "They waited to the last
minute," Dr. Powell said, "but
that vote was huge."
Dr. Powell also expressed her
thanks toward "the faculty and
students who supported us in one
way or another. No matter what
level of involvement, we appreciated the support."

SB 160.
riences of those whom they knew were
undocumented students trying to get an
education in California.
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
vetoed the bill in September 2006. He
wrote, "I applaud all young people who
work hard, graduate high school and attend
college."
Current law allows undocumented students who have attended a California high
school for three years and those who have
graduated from a California high school to
attend a state college and get a reduced 'in
state tuition rate.' Those students, however,
are not eligible for public financial aid dollars. California has over 100,000 students
here legally who apply annually for financial aid to attend college, and our state has
limited funds available for this important
purpose.
"While I do not believe that undocumented children should be penalized
for the acts of their parents," Governor
Schwarzenegger wrote, "this bill would
penalize students here legally by reducing
thefinancialaid they rely on to allow them
to go to college and pursue their dreams.
For this reason, I am unable to sign this
bill."
Gricelda Alva, a student who spoke at
the rally, said "I was amazed at the turnout
for our event. I also felt the great support
from our faculty, staff and administrators
who took a moment to learn more about the
plight of undocumented students, because
their struggles are something unheard of to
the general student population at CSUSM.
I am grateful for the wonderful work of
Espiritu de Nuestro Futuro and its collaboration with ASI, and great support from
Progressive Activist Network who helped
make this event possible."
The rally provided free subway sandwiches, chips and soda for those who
showed up.
The event gathered 145 student signatures in support for the passing of SB160.

�Website
of the

BY TIFFANIE HOANG
Pride Staff Writer
"Share, reuse, and remix - legally" is
the slogan of the website www.creativecommons.org. The website "provides free
tools that let authors, scientists, artists, and
educators easily mark their creative work
with the freedoms they want it to carry."
Essentially, the entirety of the website's
raw source material online provides students with "scholarship, music, film, photography, literature, courseware, etc" and
not only acts as an additional research tool,
but also actively provides students with
sound clips, songs, pictures, and movies
to use in and outside of school. Because
Creative Commons is a nonprofit organization, everything they do is absolutely
free. The organization was established in
2001 and is guided by an impressive Board
of Directors, and both of the Internet &
Society centers at Harvard University and
Stanford Law School University helped in
getting the project off the ground.
The Creative Commons website is
broken down into five categories (that
they call "commons"): Science Commons,
¡Commons, cclnternational, ccLabs, and
ccMixter. The Science Commons is "built
on the promise of Open Access to scholarly literature and data, Science Commons identifies and eases key barriers to
the movement of information, tools and
data through the scientific research cycle."
The iCommons consists of a much broader
spectrum of topics but dedicates itself to
creating a "united global commons front
by collaborating with open education,
access to knowledge, free software, open
access publishing and free culture communities around the world." For students
who are involved in a band or simply love
music, ccMixter "is a community music
site featuring
remixes
licensed
under Creative Commons,
where you can listen to, sample, mash-up,
or interact with music in whatever way you
want."
The "Education" portion of the website
provides incredible access to schools such
as MIT, Rice University, and the Berklee
College of Music. MIT's "OpenCourseWare" offers "a free and open educational
resource (OER) for educators, students,
and self-learners around the world." Rice
University Offers a program called "Connexions," where anyone can view and/or
contribute to "small knowledge chunks"
that they call "modules" which can be
organized into categories. Berklee College of Music offers free online music
lessons that students can download,
share and trade. These three programs
are amongst many others that Creative
Commons provides as a resource to aid
and enhance student's educational experience.
The website is extremely large and provides such an ample amount of information that the best way students can acquaint
themselves with the site is simply to search
around and customize searches in accordance to their academic needs. For more

�ASI's annual clothing drive Saving your
three weeks on campus
cents with ASI
BY JEREMY ALBERS
Pride Staff Writer
ASI is currently accepting clothes
and shoes for the 2007 CSUSM
clothes drive which focuses on new
and used articles of clothing to be
donated to the Center for Community Solutions (CCS) and the Salvation Army. In an attempt to establish
an annual event, Sherry Brideau the
current Director of Community Service for ASI is asking students to look
into their closets and part with barely
worn items to help people in need.
The clothing drive began April 2 and
runs through Friday, April 20th.
According to their website, http://
www.ccssd.org/about.html, "Each
year, CCS assists more than 12,000
men, women and children affected
by relationship violence and sexual
assault. Our services are divided
among five program areas including:
a Rape Crisis Center that provides
services for survivors of sexual
assault along with a 24-hour bilingual crisis Helpline and hospital
and court accompaniment services
for rape survivors; a clinical department specializing in counseling and
therapy services that address the
emotional aspects of relationship
violence and sexual assault for victims and their families; a legal clinic
assisting individuals with filing
temporary restraining orders and
other family law matters; a Education and Outreach Department that
uses education as a tool for violence
prevention and change for professional audiences, youth groups and
the general public; and a Residential
Services Department that includes a
24-hour emergency shelter and transitional housing program for victims of domestic violence and their
children." Regarding the student
donation to CCS Brideau said, "It is
important because we are donating
to a worthy cause. The women who
are at the CCS shelters are coming
from domestic violence. They usually come with just the clothes on
their backs. When they are in transitional housing they need nicer
clothes for court dates or job interviews."
Last year ASI focused solely on
donating to the Salvation Army and
had about "17 bags," according to
Brideau and currently has around
"four trash cans full of [clothes] and
still have more people donating."
As Director of Community Service,
she is in charge of planning and
organizing community service and
volunteer opportunities for CSUSM
students. This year Brideau has been
involved in setting up a few beach
clean-ups and feeding migrant
workers, to name a few. To get more
involved, email "Sherry Brideau" at
brideOOl @csusm.edu.
Drop off spots for clothing and
shoes are: Commons 203, the Women's Center located at FCB 102, and
the UVA Community Building.

Unveiling VPA Visual and Perfomiing Arts facilities on campus
BY KIM ANDERSON
Pride Staff Writer
The Arts Building houses some
of the most advanced technological
equipment on campus—when it comes
to music. To most of us, the Arts Building is a mystery. What's there? What is
it for? The answers to those questions
will be revealed.
The first floor is home to seven
music practice rooms which students
can we use on a first-come, first-served
basis to practice instruments of their
choice; they do not even need to be
visual performing arts students to use
these practice rooms, some of which
have pianos in them. The first floor
also houses the Indonesian Gamelan
room. In this room, students can play
authentic gamelan instruments all the
way from Indonesia if they are registered in the class. The instruments
range from the small xylophone type
keyboards to giant gongs. All of them
are beautifully adorned.
The electronic recording studio
is also on the first floor. This studio
records CD-quality music that is
accessible to electronic music students. There are many keyboards and
mixers. The software available is ProTools on the Apple computer operating system.
The first floor also has a giant
dance studio, and a performance-rehearsal area. On
the second floor, there is
a control room which
contains all of the buttons and whistles which
control the performance-rehearsal area.
It is high-tech: filled
with light controls,
microphone controls,
mixers,
speakers,
computers and other
advanced equipment.
The second floor is
also home to the biggest lecture hall on
campus which dou-
bles for a performance hall for Music
students on occasion: Arts room 240.
At full capacity, 250 people can be
seated.
The Arts Building is just five years
old. Before 2002, the Visual and Performing Arts program was housed in
three portables on the edge of campus.
Dr. Bill Bradbury, Professor of Music,
said that it really helps to have a building that can inspire students on campus.
"It made a big difference. We went to
having 45-50 VPA majors tofivetimes
as many majors. It really helped us
have a presence on campus."
The Music program continues to
grow. Bradbury said that there
is a proposal that would
develop an official Music
major and minor. He
is hopeful that those
programs should
be in place by
the fall of
2009.
Coming in Fall 2007 is the university's first choral ensemble. Dr.
Mtafiti Imara, Performing Arts Professor, is looking for students who
would like to be a part of the group.
"We are really excited about this. We
are going to do a university singing
group." Dr. Imara said. Interested
students should contact him. His email is mimara@csusm.edu, and his
office is Arts 308.
There are a lot ofmusical resources
available to students in the Arts
Building. If students are interested,
they should definitely take advantage of these resources.

Cougar Prido Rally
On Monday April 9, ASI hosted the 3rd annual Cougar Pride Rally. Students gathered during
University Hour to participate in games and to show their Cougar Pride. The student who showed
the most pride, either with blue or white paint on their face, CSUSM attire or with enthusiasm, won
a free ipod from ASI. CSUSM cheerleaders were present at the event, along with student leaders
and those students just looking to have fun. In one contest, students had to cover their face in
shaving cream, at which point other students threw cheetos at their face. The student whose face
contained the most cheetos, won. In another competition, ASI leaders laid eggs on the ground,
blindfolded students and told them to try and avoid the eggs. But once the students were blindfolded, the ASI members removed the eggs from the ground and watched with everyone else as
the blindfolded students walked in such a way to avoid the eggs that were no longer there.

Padres start to the 2007 season
BY JEREMY ALBERS
Pride Staff Writer
After ten games, the San
Diego Padres sit at six up and
four down. Not a bad start for
the two-time defending National
League West champs. It is going
to be a tough task to three-peat.
The Los Angeles Dodgers, who
drubbed the Padres 9-1 on a
horrific Friday the 13th in LA,
lead the division at 7-3, and the
Arizona Diamondbacks, in San
Diego for a brief two game set
Wednesday and Thursday, sit at
7-4. The Padres pitching staff
has been solid while the offense
has shown an ability to come
back in the late innings.
To open the season, San Diego
took two of three against the NoCal rival San Francisco Giants.
Former Padres manager, and
current Giants skipper Bruce
Bochy, saw his old team yield a
measly six runs in three games
at AT&T Park in the opening
series of the 2007 campaign.
Ace pitcher Jake Peavy tossed
a gem opening night, and closer
Trevor Hoffman added to his
all-time major league leading
saves total in game two. The
save was Hoffman's 483rd of his
hall-of-fame career. The game
was highlighted by an eighth
inning two-run blast by IB
Adrian Gonzalez that sealed the
victory. Game three saw Clay
Hensley, ailing from a blister on
the middle finger of his pitching
hand, give upfiveearned runs in
4 2/3 innings and the Padres lost
for the first time this season.
The home opener at Petco Park
did not go the fans' way. Free
agent signing Greg Maddux,
who came into this year 10th on
the all-time wins list with 333,
did not fair well in his Padres
debut. Maddux gave up four
earned runs in 5 1/3 innings as
the Friars fell to another division
opponent, the Colorado Rockies
5-4. The Padres took the next
two from the Rockies in dramatic fashion. Saturday April 7,
the home team tied the game in
the seventh on a sacrifice fly by
Gonzalez who won it in the ninth
by doubling home Jose Cruz Jr.
to eek out the 3-2 victory. On
Sunday the 8th, Cruz Jr. homered into the jury box in right
field to tie the game in the eighth
and new 3B Kevin Kouzmanoff
brought home SS Khalil Greene
with a single in the tenth inning.
Kouzmanoff endeared himself
to the home fans after a bit of
a struggle with his new team to
begin the season.
Monday, April 9 the Giants
came to town for manager Bruce
Bochy's homecoming after a successful twelve year run steering
the ship for the Padres. Bochy
led the swinging Friars to the
playoffs four times highlighted
by a World Series appearance
in 1998. Chris Young stuck a
dagger in the Giants, winning
the game 1-0. Young out-dueled
young Giants starter Matt Cain
by pitching seven solid innings
of shutout ball. Cain threw well
allowing only one hit in his
seven innings of work, a double
by Khalil Greene in the seventh
ending Cain's bid for a no-hitter.
Pinch hitter Geoff Blum's sacrificeflygave the bullpen the only
run it needed to seal another late
inning win for the Padres. Clay
Hensley's blister problems continued and the Padres contributed to a loss by committing
some ill-timed errors early in a
6-5 loss April 10. However, the
Padres fought hard after being
down by six runs early. Adrian
Gonzalez socked two homeruns
as the team continued to show
its never-give-up attitude. The
next day Greg Maddux followed
with his first victory in a Padres
uniform, throwing darts in deal-
ing the Giants a 4-0 loss, for the
334th win of his brilliant career.
Going up to face the Dodgers at Chavez Ravine is never an
easy task, and hefty lefty David
Wells was knocked around for
five runs on eight hits in just 2
1/3 innings on Friday the 13th.
Dodger pitcher Derek Lowe
once again befuddled the Padres
lineup as they suffered their
worst loss of the season in a 9-1
loss. The nine runs were the most
surrendered by the Friars this
year and also snapped the bullpen's scoreless streak to begin
the season at 29 1/3 innings. The
Padres set a major league record
by not giving up a run by a bullpen to open the year. The previous mark was 22 set by the Chicago White Sox in 1955. It was
only a couple innings from the
all-time franchise mark of 32
notched in the '78 season with a
bullpen anchored hall-of-famer
Rollie Fingers.

Experience the Western Conference Quarter Finals
BY DAVID CHURCH
Pride Staff Writer
After the announcement of the starting lineups and the singing of the national
anthem, Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarter-Finals was set to begin. The
referee dropped the puck and the game
was underway.
With both sides battling hard early on
trying to gain the upper hand in the game,
the Ducks received the first power play
when Minnesota Wild's Derek Boogaard
received a penalty for charging.
After several missed scoring opportunities by the Ducks, captain Scott Niedermayer was charged for tripping, losing
their power play. The fans became angry
by the call and began chants of "Refs, you
suck."
By the end of the first period, both
teams were unable to score and the Ducks
went to the locker room knowing they had
several opportunities with two shots ringing off the post.
In the second period, the Wild took the
first lead of the game when Kurtis Foster
set up Pavol Demitra in the slot to beat
Ducks goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov 6:01
into the second period.
The Ducks were able to respond 3:51
seconds later when Francois Beauchemin
made a deep centering pass that Teemu
Selanne capitalized on by splitting the
two defensemen and beating rookie goaltender Niklas Backstrom with a quick
wrist shot through the five-hole. The goal
tied the game and allowed Selanne to tie
the team's career record for points in the
postseason.
The game was all squared and both
teams were playing a physical game. The
teams would remain tied as they buzzer
sounded for the end of the second period.
The third period began, and the pace
of the game was slower than the previous
two periods. Neither side was taking control of the game as both sides were dumping the puck and chasing it.
Then with 5:20 remaining in regulation,
Ducks Dustin Penner pushed the puck in
the back of the net and gave the Ducks a
2-1 lead after an eventful play.
Ducks forward Ryan Getlzaf passed
the puck to Penner who turned and shot
the puck. Backstrom was able to make
the save when his defensemen Kim Johnson knocked him down and fell on top of
Backstrom. The puck was still alive in
front of the net when Corey Perry slapped
at it. The puck slid under the pad of Backstrom and when it popped out of the other
side, Penner was there to slap the puck
in the net to give the Ducks the eventual
game-winning goal.
This brought the sold-out crowd to its
feet as Penny wise "Bro Hymn" began to
play. The arena would stay energetic into
the final horn. The Ducks came back to
win game one of the best of seven series
and they were able to head into Minnesota
with a 2-0 lead in the series.

�WHERE
IN THE
WORLD IS
ALISON AFFLECK?
BY ALISON AFFLECK
Pride Staff Writer
Grenada has come a long way since the
day I watched its 'matchstick' covered,
green volcanic hills disappear from my
airplane window. The matchsticks I am
referring to of course were the remnants
of buildings strewn across the landscape
following Hurricane Ivan's brutal assault;
an event that I, unfortunately, was present
for. I lived on the island while I attended a
University there and fell in love with the
place. In fact, her resilience and strength
in picking herself up again after enduring
such a tragedy as Ivan, only further solidifies the island as one of the most magnificent countries that I have ever had the
pleasure to experience. Rather than simply
recount a tragic chapter in her history, I
would like to describe an often overlooked
West Indian island retreat, one that still
maintains the real Caribbean experience the small nation of three islands: Grenada,
Carriacou, and Petit Martinique.
Grenada (Pron: GrenAYda), one of the
Windward Islands, is located in tHe Eastern Caribbean. It is small, 12 miles wide
by 21 miles long, and it is known as the
'Spice Isle' due to the fact that it contains
more spices per square mile than any other
country; nutmeg being its number one specialty . The island's history involves her
being fought over by both French and English hands several times and even though
the English Queen (albeit the image of a
very young queen) still gazes back from
their Eastern Caribbean Dollar bills, Grenada gained her independence from the
UK in 1974. Like the U.K, cars in Grenada
drive on the left hand side of the road, but
the remaining influences are more French
than English; apparent in the French placenames over much of the Island.
A visit to Grenada will drop you off,
most likely in a prop-plane, at Point Salines
the island's only functioning airport. Point
Salines is located close to the largest and
capital city of StGeorges and the spectacular Grand Anse Beach so it is no surprise
that this, southwest region of the Island,
is the most popular destination for visitors. Most of the island resorts and Spas
are located on Grande Anse beach, along
with a fairly new shopping mall; however,
the island itself remains very un-touristy.
In fact, compared to many other Caribbean
islands, Grenada is the real deal, a veritable
portrait of Caribbean life that many other
islands lost years and years ago, before
tourism became their economic mainstay.
The bustling harbour of Carenage in
St.Georges is a wonderful place to stroll
around. It is here that you will see stalls
with a dazzling array of produce from
spices; prickly apples and sour sop fruit
(tastes a bit like potato) to various types of
seafood, such as the famed conch. A trip
here will undoubtedly whet your appetite.
West Indian cuisine is spicy and delicious,
and 'callaloo' soup is a Grenadian specialty not to be missed as is the rum and
local beer, 'Carib'.
The interior of the island contains the
dense and beautiful Grand Étang Forest
Reserve that contains beautiful waterfalls
and a huge variety of chattering wildlife,
including the Mona Monkey and the surrounding Caribbean Sea with its accessible
reefs are great for scuba or snbrkeling. The
smaller islands of Carriacou, and Petite white sand of Grenada's sister islands or
Martinique are perfect for their seclusion explore Grenada itself, the experience will
and tranquility -these are not touristy be incredible...my top tip is to watch the
places at all and there are only a few places sunset over St.Georges whilst chest deep
to stay. Of course, It is important to realize in the bath-water warm Caribbean sea, it
that this unspoiled paradise brings with it is something will stay with you forever;
(or lacks) some things that the first world just watch out for the huge land crabs and
dweller may not be accustomed to; but toads that wander around at sunset on the
whether you decide to simply relax on the way back to your hotel!

�Jock Talk With Josh: Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
^^^^^^^^
other people in
my LTWR 475
class with Dr. Robin Keehn who
can write better on this person.
I was just introduced to the
work of Kurt Vonnegut. His
semi-memoir, "A Man without a
Country," was one of the assigned
readings in LTWR 475 and it definitely caught my attention.
After I read that book I did a
lot of research on Vonnegut just
to find out who he was. I related
to what he said about unoriginality in writing, the political situation in the country, and if there
really is a God.
Writing takes up most of the
capacity in my life which may
explain why "Almost Famous,"
"The Secret Window," and
"Finding Forrester" are some of
my favorite movies. But when
it comes to having those goose
bump feeling moments, I don't
have those that often when I read
other peoples words, but Vonnegut was different.
With his death last Thursday
it brought sadness to many of
his fans. I feel gypped, however,
because I've only know of him
for a few months now. I'm actually getting into "Player Piano,"
Vonnegut's first novel, for my
COMM 445 class with Dr. Katherine Brown.
Not to sound like a stalker, but
there's one thing I do when I find
a writer that I truly appreciate. I
create a correspondence with the
writer. This is something I recommend for all people who claim
to be interested in writing. Most
writers love to talk about writing and will be cordial with you
if you show the same passion for
the craft. That's one reason why
I post my e-mail at the bottom of
this column.
When I was 15 I started reading Woody Paige, a sports writer
with the Denver Post. I e-mailed
back and forth with him and he
became a major influence on my
writing at that age.
At 18 I met Rick Reilly at the
annual Point Loma Nazarene
writer's symposium (I greatly
recommend the symposium to all
writer's) and began a correspondence with him. He showed me
that a sports writer doesn't just
have to write about sports.
Mitch Albom, Tom Friend, and
Jerry Crasnick are a few other
the status quo. You are going
to piss of people when you take
a risky stand. You are going to
have people who want to censor
you when you show opposition
to a war or to the President. This
is something I've had to deal
with, and this is something that
Vonnegut has shown me can be
done.
To end with a quote from "A
Man without a Country: "The
truth is, we know so little about
life, we don't really know what
the good news is and what the
bad news is. And if I die—God
forbid—I would like to go to
heaven to ask somebody in
charge up there, 'Hey, what was
the good news and what was the
bad news?'"

Sando026@csusm.edu
or

writers that I've asked questions
to. From reading tributes about
Vonnegut since his death he
apparently answered all letters
written to him, too.
I'm not the only person who
liked his style. He influenced the
likes of Jon Stewart who uses
satire to bring attention to social
issues, and Keith Olberman who
can go on a Vonnegut style rant
like no other. Vonnegut meant
so much to Stewart as a kid that
when he got to interview him on
the "Daily Show" he introduced
Vonnegut like this: "As an adolescent he made my life bearable."
Not everyone gets satire. When
you work in a mainstream industry like Olberman, Stewart, and
Vonnegut you are going to have
your critics. You are going to
have people who think you are
offensive when you question

Letters to the Editor:
Dear [Pride], As the Coordinator for Pilipino Culture Night, I'm disappointed how one your writer's has covered Kamalayan Alliance's 1st
Pilipino Culture Night. We were personally asked to send your staff writer pictures from our event. There was no indication that a story was to
be attached to those photos, for your staff writer had lacked to communicate that information. If we were informed of that process, we would
have been obliged to write a story for The Pride. Also, we were not informed that Thè Pride has any interest in writing an article for the PCN
until Sunday late night before the staff writer's deadline. As you stated in your response, we should make it our responsibility to keep constant
communication with the paper. But than what is the job and responsibilities of The Pride than? The publication lacked a story, acknowledgment
of who was involved, the time, place and location of the PCN and the staff writers name for accountability. The pictures of the production published last week did not explain the content of the Pilipino Culture Night that highlighted issues within the Pilipino-American community and
experience, especially on this campus. As the cliché goes, a picture says a thousand words. On this campus itself, those photos posted without
any context reflect a misinterpretation of our actors/actresses, the student organization and the Pilipino Culture itself. As a student organization, there are standards of excellence that we expect from our student paper. That is to reflect and accurately inform our campus community.
We suggest if that an article lacks content arid is not ready to be published, than it should not be approving for the publication. Kamalayan Alliance feels that The Pride has misinterpreted our event...[continued online at www.thecsusmpride.com] -Diana Wong PCN Coordinator
Dear Pride, This is in reference to this week's "The Pride" about Pilipino Culture Night. Those two pictures should have had an actual "article" because there was "meaning" to the event that couldn't be described by a picture alone. The article about beer seems to be more important
than the event but from my perspective the PCN was more important because it addressed cultural and heteronormative issues. It's sad there's
nothing about it and the picture didn't include all of the performers and show their hard-work. -Lan Giao Nguyen President Vietnamese Student
Association
Dear Pride, This letter is to regard the school's newspaper about
Kamalayan Alliance's Pilipino Culture Night. There is only two pictures to represent the PCN but there isn't any details about the event
that was performed at school. As one of the performers from Pilipino
Culture Night. I am disappointed at the fact that there isn't any description to explain why PCN happened. Hope you would do a better job
covering the school's events. - Anthony Lao
Dear Pride, I find it deeply disturbing that "The Pride" devoted
so little space and effort to the coverage of CSUSM's first Pilipino
Culture Night. After all the hard work that both they and myself put
into the success of the show, we deserve equal if not more extensive
coverage in comparison to the "Beer of the Week" of "Drink of the
week." Considering, a large demographic of the student attending
Cal State San Marcos are not of legal drinking age. And social issues
should be in a more prevalent spot light. Also, I feel due to the current
political turmoil that is ensuing the Philippines coverage of the first
annual PCN should be of the utmost importance, because it shows the
strength and support of a culture, especially from thousands of miles
away. In order for "the Pride" to be viewed as a legitimate school
newspaper, like the "Daily Aztec," Real News stories should be covered, not necessarily the typical college stereotypes. Cultures should
be exalted, news should brought eyes should be opened. By the way,
I'm white. - Bryce Griffin
Dear Pride, In this week's "Pride" article on Pilipino Culture Night,
there are just two pictures about he 2-night performances and no
content. It's a disappointment that the only thing written are the captions for the pictures without names. The individuals who directed,
assisted, and participated in the making of this production that took
many months of their lives to plan and rehearse, and nothing was
written about the event, there hard work their sacrifices, or even what
issues were acknowledged (homosexuality, ethnicity, culture). All
that was on the page with the pictures was a half-page spread on the
"Beer of the Week," and even THAT had written content on it. "The
Pride" should write more things that make us more culturally diverse
instead of pointless things like makeup, beer and movies. Besides,
when has there ever been a newspaper with only pictures and no written accompanying article? Unheard of... Sincerely, -Darlene Doan VP
Vietnamese Student Association
Dear Pride, You have failed to address our needs and concerns
involving the cultural diversity on the Cal State San Marcos campus.
In the CSUSM mission statement, it states that all walks of life will
be assisted in their college career. My concern is that that Kamalayan
Alliance put on their first Pilipino Culture Night and the media exposure was minimal. The excerpt, or what you decidedly wrote as an
"article," was on the back, the very last page of "The Pride." If anything, a large diverse event on campus should receive media attention,
as well as be on the front page, instead of other worthless articles. This
disheartens me because you put no thought or effect into the feelings
Dear Pride, With all do respect, we do not appreciate how the Pili- students have over this issues. All the time, dedication, effort for over
pino Cultural Night section in this week's newspaper did not explain a month was utterly ignored by the media community. The newspaper
the importance of the event. We find it very disrespectful that you and this community, including the campus belonging to us, and our
would arrange it to be on the same page as the "Beer of the Week" opinions which matter. You also do not explain the event, as well as
articles, when you wrote more about alcohol, and only 27 words about failed to address any information about the event, leaving students
lost in the abyss of their own questions. - Jennilyn De Jesus B.A.P.S.
PCN. It didn't even have contact information! - Krystal David
Fundraising Chair
Where's the Pride's quality in
reporting, that áll students should
expect from their campus paper?
Where's the content for multicultural events on campus? Isn't a
campus paper supposed to report
campus events? Where was the
coverage of CSUSM's 1st ever
PCN (Pilipino Culture Night)?
This was no quick 50 minute
event during the University Hour.
This was a 2-night weekend affair
that required months of preparation. It was student produced,
directed, performed production
that covered over 2 hours. Ifindit
disheartening that when we "chatted" at the "President's Dinner for
Student Leaders" you said, "The
event would only be covered if a
reporter was in the audience ." If a
reporter attends an event, it must
be an event that they are particularly interested in. That explains
the lack of content for the "Black
History Month." That's disturbing! Two pictures and 27 words is
all PCN received. Let's not forget
that the picture depicts all the
male participants in drag! The
lack of content was malicious &
hurtful to members of the LGBT
community on campus. You've
just recreated, reinforced and
perpetuated the misinformation
Kamalayan Alliance was trying
to address. Here's a solution: have
the secretaries, scribes or historians of student groups submit an
article of an event they have created. That would be a win-win
for everyone: the Pride gets 'real'
inclusive content and the secretary, scribe or historian gets credit
for their work. I find it alarming
that in the absence of diverse content, the Women's Center and C3
have to create their own publications. Call it freedom of the press
to write and cover what they
please but imagine if the tables
were turned? What direction will
unbiased reporting turn to next,
rallying support for opposition
leading towards the dismantling
of a resource center? -Jay Franklin LGBTA President Kamalayan
Alliance Political Chair

�A n International Affair
University Global Affairs Committee sponsors cultural event on campus
BY PAMELA CASTILLO
Pride Staff Writer
The International Fair was the place to be
April 12. Hundreds of students and professors overflowed University Hall Plaza to partake in the 5th annual International Fair. High
winds were blowing the smoke from the grill,
but that was not enough to discourage students
from the good times. Long lines for yummy
free food were the norm. Patrons snacked on
their treats of German Bratwurst, Greek salad,
croissants, taquitos, a variety of colorfully decorated cakes, and much more.
Entertainment was non-stop, and not always
planned. During the West African rhythms preformed by the TAM TAM African Drummers,
the featured dancer invited spectators to join
in the dancing. CSUSM students were more
than happy to step up. Two students showed
off their moves with a spectacular break dancing show.
Volunteers treated the audience to a cultural
costume fashion show, along with a demonstration of Mexican dancing, and a demonstration of Israel-influenced group dancing that
included audience participation. Fair festivities also offered martial arts/self-defense demonstrations with students.
University Global Affairs Committee sponsored the event along with Global Affairs
Office, Associated Students Inc., Student Life
& Leadership and a co-curricular funding
award.

Vega4 &: Augustana at the House of Blues
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
If I had a dictionary to define
my collective concert experiences
throughout my lifetime, it would
read as the following: Augustana:
San Diego-based band, and one
of my all-time favorite bands.
San Diego House of Blues: one
of my favorite venues, period.
That said, the sold-out Augustana show at San Diego House of
Blues last Saturday night should
have been no-brainer and should
have gone down in the dictionary
as one of my favorite concerts
ever. Unfortunately, though, that
was not the case.
On their final night of touring
the states, a sweaty grip of Irish,
Canadian and Kiwi musicians
promisingly known as Vega4
mounted the stage as the soldout venue swelled with estrogen.
With beer in hand, Vega4 frontman Johnny McDald wooed the
plastic crowd while the lyrics to
"Traffic Jam" hung against the
bright foggy air. Priming the
audience for the headlining band,
Augustana, Vega4 attempted
to bring their "A" game, but it
sounded as if something got lost
in the execution.
What I had hoped would
become the beginning of a musical romance, quickly fizzled out
throughout their set as in my
opinion, Vega4 progressed into
nothing more than a Snow Patrol
cover band. Though I can appreciate the notable chunks of existential lyrics they proclaimed,
the extra sparkle and magical
connection between Vega4 and I
were nowhere to be found. Continuing their set with "You &
Me," Vega4 dedicated the poignant tune to Augustana, their
newly found road buddies. With
Jared Palomar (bass/vocals) and
"South" (drummer) of Augustana
sitting backstage stage right, they,
along with a handful of stagehands, rocked out to the mellow
and slightly poppy ditty.
Johnny's seductive vocals were
a pleasant distraction from the
harrowing audience, but were
hardly enough to grab my full
attention. "Billions of Lights," a
delicate rock song, premiered a
beautiful medley of lights flashing
and dancing all over, before segueing smoothly to the members
of Augustana waltzing onstage
with a large candleholder and a
light-post on which the drummer
of Augustana entertained a brief
pole dance.
With the house lights dimmed,
the audience swayed in a sentiment of nostalgia. As the gathering sang along with the foreign quartet, Vega4 rounded out
their set with their ever popular
single "Life is Beautiful" which
has been featured on "Grey's
Anatomy" and "One Tree Hill."
Though Johnny (vocals/guitar), grew louder. A few seconds later,
Gavin Fox (bass), Bryan McLel- the curtains lifted to reveal the
lan (drums) and Bruce Gainsford striking members of Augustana.

adorned the stage accordingly, Even though all the right notes
the chants of anticipation only came at all the right times, some-
thing was off for me in the world
of Augustana. Lacking virtually
any relationship with the audience, watching the 5 lanky guys
play, I couldn't help but get the
feeling that they were bored. As
the hour-plus long set droned on,
I was sadly disappointed as I felt
the showmanship of Augustana
was nothing more than a poor rendition of their two-year-old CD.

�A big splash at SeaWorld
BY KIM ANDERSON
Pride Staff Writer
Seaworld is one of the most popular
attractions in San Diego* This spring, Seaworld is offering a couple of new shows and
other exciting things to do. As a platinum
passport number, I visit Seaworld many
times a year. If there is something new
going on, I have to be there as soon as I can.
When I heard about the new spring shows, I
began to plan my next Seaworld trip.
Thefirstnew show I saw was "Sea Lions
Tonite." The preshow, featuring a janitor
named Biff, is almost as entertaining as
the actual show. In the preshow, we got to
watch Biff sing and dance to a lot of classic songs - from "Dance of the Sugar Plum
Fairies" to "You're the One That I Want"
from "Grease." In my book, there is almost
nothing more entertaining than watching
humans dance around ~ even unskillfully.
Wait. Especially if it is unskillfully. Biff did
not disappoint.
The actual show featured everyone's
favorite sea lions Clyde and Seymour and
the trainers doing spoofs on other Seaworld
shows and easily recognizable TV shows
such as "Survivor" and "American Idol."
Unlike the Sea Lions day show "Risky
Rescue," the night show prominently features Ottie, the adorable sea otter. At the
end of the show, one of Seaworld's walruses
spits water at the audience members sitting
in the front center rows. I have to admit,
there is a certain schadenfreude watching
other people get soaked by animals.
"Shamu Rocks" is the new killer while
night show. This 20-minute show features
Shamu doing a lot of fantastic behaviors.
Since killer whales are found in every
ocean in the world, the show features rock
songs from all over the world. Whereas the
daytime show "Believe" involves a lot of
narration and explanation, "Shamu Rocks"
is pure energy — one killer whale behavior after another. The four rotating LED
screens with the lighting almost steal the
show from Shamu. Don't go to this show if
you are epileptic.
As a Seaworld veteran, I recommend
walking out of Shamu Stadium about 30
seconds before the show actually ends,
especially if you are claustrophobic. The
stadium seats 5500 people, and if the show
is especially packed, you will spend a lot of
unnecessary time just trying to get out of
the stadium.
Another new feature this spring is the
Discoveries Gift Shop. In this shop, you
can construct an animal friend complete
with any type of outfit you could possibly
imagine. First, you pick an animal off the
wall. Next, the gift shop employee will fill
it with cotton, and then you can dress k up.
It is a tad on the expensive side, but 10%
of your entire purchase goes to Seaworld's
conservation fund.
Park visitors can also enjoy the Sky Blast
Fireworks Show at the end of the night.
This is a special treat, considering that fireworks were banned from Mission Bay last
year after an environmental group threatened to sue Seaworld for polluting the bay.
An unbiased third-party research group
cleared Seaworld when it concluded that the
fireworks did not pollute the bay.
Photos courtesy of Sea World San Diego
Seaworld's Sky Tower Ride is still closed,
but according to park employee Melanie, it
should be reopening at the end of April.
The new Penguin Encounter is still under
construction. No reopening date has been
announced.
The new shows will be available to watch
weekends until May 25. After that, it will be
available every night until Labor Day weekend. Tickets to Seaworld are available in the
ASI office (Commons 207) for $45.50/adult
and $39/child, and for just $11 more, can be
upgraded to a Fun Card, which will allow
guests to come back any time during 2007.
Price and participation may vary.

V it's not a full on, you know, gory 'Saw'type movie" Wilson stated. He also
explained that while he felt a sense of

the door open for a possible return to

Somehow winter skipped Southern California. The endless summer sun has managed to tan the bodies of thousands all year,

enough to sport thongs and shades for both

Alaskan Brewing Company brews Alaskan
Summer Ale in Juneau, Alaska. The brewery

struggle than I thought it would be.
"Sometimes people say, 'Gosh, why don't you
do more stuff like "The Tenenbaums" or "Bottle
Rocket" as opposed to "Charlie's Angels" or
"Legally Blonde"?' I wish I were Sean Penn
and could just kind of do whatever great projects I wanted, but that's just not the reality of the
situation, but if anything, it's really helped me.
I didn't1 study acting. I didn't go to film school.
I've learned on every single movie I've done,
whether it was something like 'My Dog Skip' or
something kind of like 'The Tenenbaums.'"
"What I have to remind myself," Wilson continued, "sometimes if I ever get down about it or
start to think I wish I could get that kind of role or
I wish I was in 'The Departed' or something, that
I'm still relatively young at 35. The truth is if I get
more successful and more recognizable and am
able to do well in good movies, then I hope that
that kind of thing will come together; but I might
just have to write it myself."
So far, Wilson has in fact written at least two
screenplays, one of which has been made into
a film. '"Wendell Baker' ['The Wendell Baker
Story'] is something I wrote and directed with my
brother Andrew," Wilson elaborated, "and Owen
is [brother Owen Wilson] in it, and Eva Mendez
plays my girlfriend. It?s about a good-natured con
man who is trying to turn his life around and get
his girlfriend back with the help of these two old
men that he's try ing to help."
Aside from his screenwriting, Wilson said he
would also like to form a production company
with his brothers (Owen and Andrew Wilson),
but he doesn't want it to be a vanity project. He'd
like to discover new talent, "just kind of like what
James L . Brooks did for us, just kind of finding us
and seeing our short film and helping us along"
Wilson explained.
Until then, fans of Luke Wilson will have to be

the sea, climbed treacherous mountains, and
cave dived around the world.
The fine men and women of the brewery
have created an excellent summer ale delight,
The carton pictures a sea reflecting the bright
orange hues of the sunflankedby deep brown
mountains as a pack of killer whales play in
the ocean. The cardboard packaging contains
six 12 ounce glass bottles. The brown glass
bottles are capped with peculiar magenta
bottle caps.
Slight odors of malts, hops, and yeast radiate a pleasing aroma after the magenta cap
twists off the bottle. When the beer is poured
into the glass, it clearly exemplifies an amber
tint similar to a sunset across Palm Court at
CSUSM while displaying a one-inch thick
head. The ale has an alcohol by volume of
5.3 percent, and the brewery recommends
pairing the brew with Alaska crab, halibut,
or salad.
The summer ale smoothly enters the mouth.
During the climax of the swallow a quick and
punchy taste of malts, hops, and yeast penetrate the taste buds. The summer ale falls
into the dark abyss of the throat just as it has
entered, smooth and nonchalant. Gladly satisfied the stomach moans in fulfillment as the
empty glass clumsily settles on the wooden
surface,
Alaskan Summer Ale should be chilled
thoroughly before consumption. A pretest
was conducted when the summer ale was
only slightly chilled. The taste buds screamed
cruelty and threatened to sue.

Shirley Temple
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
Ever since I was a little girl, Shirley
has been my best friend. Shirley Temple
that is. A deliciously sweet mocktail,
or kiddie cocktail as it is affectionately
named, the Shirley Temple is a classically old-fashioned and highly sophisticated drink.
Fondly named after the adorable curlytopped child actress, Shirley Temple, the
non-alcoholic beverage was created by a
bartender at the restaurant, Chasen's, in
Beverly Hills, Calif, during the 1930s.
Because Shirley Temple was so successful and so loved as a child actress,
she was invited to many a Hollywood
party and wined and dined with Hollywood's best—minus the wine, that is.
Temple was a regular guest at Chasen's
during the height of her career, and
because of her age the bartender fashioned the dazzling pink beverage to
accompany her amidst the surplus of
adult Holly wood stars.
Originally made with two parts
ginger ale, one part orange
juice and a splash of grenadine, it is highly common
for the orange juice to be omitted.
The more familiar recipe for a Shirley
Temple is 8 ounces of 7UP or lemonlime soda, 1 ounce grenadine syrup,
and at least two decorative Maraschino
cherries. Served over ice in a highball
glass, the popular drink can also be garnished with a fresh orange slice.
Though it may be ridiculed as an ageold kiddie drink, this fizzy cherry-flavored fabrication will never disappoint
and will gleefully please even the most
spoiled inner-child.
For those who dare to turn the lipsmacking mocktail into a cocktail, the
most scrumptious recipes are for a "Hard
Shirley Temple," and a "Dirty Shirley."
A "Hard Shirley Temple" consists of 1 !/2
ounces of Malibu Rum, 4 ounces of 7UP
and a splash of grenadine, and is served
in an old-fashioned glass over ice. A
"Dirty Shirley" is made up of 1 ounce
vodka, 5-6 ounces club soda or Sprite,
and an ounce of grenadine, served in a
highball glass on ice.
With so
many yummy options,
it
would be hard to go
wrong with good oY Shirley.

How to survive apartment hunting
The do's and don'ts on finding the perfect place
BY KATRINA KISTLER
Pride Staff Writer
Finding a place to live is important
for any students, but can be a d ifficult,
time-consuming, and sometimes j ust a
plain old headache. L earning a ffective
strategies in how to search for an apartment, condominium, or house t o live
in could qiake any students l ife a little
easier in a high-stress atmosphere.
Most students have the challenging
aspect of moving when they are accepted
to college, while others students do not
change t heir living arrangements. Here
at CSUSM we have a wide variety of
students living on campus, living o ff
campus, and commuting f rom large
distances away. Whatever a student's
living arrangements are within college
it is something that changes while students advance into adulthood.
DO: Plan ahead, details are important
According
to
apart-
mentreviews.net one of the f irst things
students can do is get an idea of what
t ype of place they are interested in,
having a backyard, t ypes of f looring,
washer/dryer included, pets or no pets,
how many bathrooms, garage space and
the list could be endless. Understanding that each detail uncovered could
make the search easier or more d ifficult
depending on if the requirements are
available. Once they have their requirements in mind, searching for numerous places, either online or in the local
newspaper is key to f inding the right
place.
DO: Schedule a walk through
Apartmentreviews.net
also
suggests that once a few places have been
selected, students should contact the
landlord or leasing agency in order
to schedule a walk-through. Finding
a place that matches all the desired
emminites students before commit-,
ting should invest in doing a care-
ful walk through to look or r epairs,
improvements and questions about
the location. C ertain apartment complexes have noise r estrictions, p arking
restrictions, and other regulations that
students should investigate during the
walk through.
DON'T: Don't be shy to ask questions
Most a partments required at least a
six to 12 month lease, so asking questions early before committing will be a
b enefit so there are no s urprise f ees or
c onfusion on the lease agreement.
DON'T: Don't forget to bring
important documents
Bringing things like a credit check,
resume, or pay stubs/ tax r eturns are
documents generally asked for. A fter
giving documents like t his to a landlord
or leasing agents it helps to be prepared.
Many landlords/ leasing agents will
want to v erify a s tudent's references
so calling these references beforehand
i nforming them of these incoming calls
could b enefit a s tudent's success while
searching. A s s tudents, many of us may
not have a long enough or good enough
credit h istory to b e a sole signer to an
a partment, a co-signer may be required,
so investigate credit h istory and t alk to
p arents or close f riends about having a
possible co-signer.
DO: Talk to the neighbors
Sometimes the realitor or landlord
really j ust wants to push the sale, getting an unbias opinion really matters
when c ommitting to the possible perfect place and t alking to the neighbors
o ffers a second opinion about the neighborhood. Apartmentreview5.net recommends that m eeting the neighbors is an
aspect a student must consider, since
sharing walls w ith neighbors may a ffect
a s tudent's living choices. When talking to neighbors, students can f ind out
about how neighbors feel about noise,
if they are f riendly, and what they like
about the neighborhood.

The "Road to Wellness" f air i s coming

p.m. at the Clarke Field house.
For students, health and wellness is a
prominent issue. The Road to Wellness
Fair includes health information, special guest demonstrations, and f ree f ood
and snacks. Students who are interested
in bettering their health here at CSUSM
should consider starting or continuing to

Being a physically active young adult,
according to the National Institute of
Health, " is linked to a higher IQ...The
researchers also showed that fitness predicts greater educational and professional
achievements later in life." With that
said, working out could be an effective
way for students to stay healthy and get
ahead in classes here at CSUSM.

plan that is affective, for students, can
be a struggle. Brian Smith, CSUSM's park in the f ar lots and walk. Utilize the

Softball splits with # 5 Point Loma, finishes season series 3 -1
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
Facing Point Loma N azarene f or the final time t his
season, #13-ranked Cal State
San Marcos s oftball and the
#5-ranked Sea Lions split a p air
of 1-0 g ames at Point Loma on
Saturday.
CSUSM is now 32-12 on the
year. Point Loma is 24-12.
As is o ften the case when
top-15 t eams play, pitching was
the story. N AIA w ins leader
Brenna Sandberg was on her
game and on the mound for all
15 innings on Saturday. She
was particularly brilliant in
game one, tossing a 2-hit,
11-strikeout, complete game
8 -inning shutout to once again
out-duel PLNU A ll-American
Tyler Lent.
Both pitchers allowed j ust
one hit in the regulation seven
i nnings, sending the contest to
extras. With Lauren Nelson
placed on second in the t op of
the eighth, Shanti Poston delivered the hit of the ballgame,
doubling to l eft-center to score
the g ame's first r un. I n the
bottom of the i nning, center
fielder Elizabeth Bush caught
a line drive and alertly doubled o ff the r unner at second
to e ffectively end Point L oma's
chances.
The w in makes Sandberg t he
first-ever 30-game w inner for
CSUSM s oftball, and the first
N AIA pitcher t his season t o
reach 30.
In game two, Point Loma
scored in the first i nning on
a double-steal and was able
to hold the lead f or all seven
innings.
Sandberg c ertainly
kept her t eam in the game, locking down the Sea L ions' o ffense
and allowing j ust 3 h its and 1
w alk. She struck out t wo batters.
CSUSM h ad its chances,
recording 5 hits and drawing
3 walks, but Sea Lions s tarter
H annah Faria worked t hrough it
to complete t he shutout. Nelson
had two h its in the losing e ffort.
W hile Point Loma is one of
t he best t eams in the N AIA, the
C ougars w ill get another shot
against the absolute best in the
N AIA on Tuesday at Cal Baptist.

the p rogram gain considerable
exposure
throughout
the
weekend.
By early Monday morning
outgoing campers had already
b egun to f orm a sizable line at
the booth. While the f ocus of
the p roject is tent donations,
many in line o ffered sleeping
bags, c ookware, f lashlights,
foam p ads, and the like, most
of which Tents for R efugees
r eadily a ccepted.
" This is the only weekend
all year I ever camp and we
c ouldn't donate our tent
because we borrowed it, but
my group had some s tuff that
we really d on't need so we
f igured we might as well give
something," said Leah Scott.
Shimon P resents stated
in a p ress release last week,
"Many people buy t ents
b efore a f estival and never
u se them again. Now, t here is
a chance to help someone in

Liam Clarke, a 22 year old

one such i ndividual. "I f lew
out here a few days early
to buy up a tent and some
camping gear t hinking I might
sell it or give it away a fter the

c an't b ring the s tuff back with
me so I 'm glad somebody can
take it o ff my hands and put it
to good u se."
Liam was one of many
foreign Coachella p atrons
unable to b ring home their
weekend gear and eager
to donate. However, other
f estival goers with shorter
d istances to travel were
simply t rying t o f ree up some

" I rode the whole way here

Ramos.

"HOMECOMING"
BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
Mischa Barton stars in this horror thriller
about a ex-girlfriend who seeks revenge
when her former lover falls for a new
woman. The problems with this film are
the dull acting and the predictable story
that steals from many other great thrillers.

definitely worth seeing.

Starring Banksy and Thierry

Directed by Banksy
"Gift Shop" is a slick documentary investigating the proliferation
of street art. This hit at the Sundance Film Festival is a unique
story made by the actual artists.
«44 INCH CHEST"
This film combines Ray Winstone with
the screenwriting crew he worked with in
"Sexy Beast." Though this film is not as
strong as "Beast" it is still a gritty and

might be worth à rental.

Being the
BY MATT LEWIS
Pride Staff Writer
Spring is here, and with it gomes
sunny weather, allergies, and end-ofsemester f reak outs. In addition, the
season starts out with a holiday that
many people forget about until the last
minute: Earth Day. While some people
celebrate Earth Day only by telling
others that " It's Earth Day, you know,"
there are millions around the world
who celebrate Earth Day by spreading
awareness of the environment and sustainable living practices.
The original c gn|ept ^ f Earth p ay
coincided with the March equinox, to
mark the precise moment of astronomi-?
cal mid-spring in the Northern Hemisphere, and of astronomical mid-autumn in t | e Southern Hemisphere. An
equinox in astronomy is the moment
in time (not a whole day) - when the
center of the Sun can be observed to be
directly "above" the Earth's equator,
occurring around March 20 and Septeji||er 2 3each y ear.|i
In most cultures, the equinoxes and
solstices are considered to start or
separate the seasons. In ancient E gypr
and ancient Persia, the equinoxes

THE PRIDE
101 I
Pleasing your partner
... You know, in that way
Everyone is a geek
BY IVAN GARCIA
Pride Staff Writer
BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
Everyone
loves
being pleased. Every
time it happens, it's
like your birthday.
Someone is taking
time out of their
day and their personal lust for physical gratification so that you
can get your jollies off. And
it might include cake and ice
cream when it's all over, so
technically, you both win.
Know when I say "pleasing"
your partner, I mean pleasing them in terms that may
not include intercourse in any
way. This can include outercourse, emotional pleasing,
or j ust simply being happy
together.
I am sure all of us out there
want to please our partners
because (it's true) we love them.
We love them and we want them
to get the most out of our sexual
experiences. Whether we want
to get down and start pleasing
our men/women remember that
you are in love. If you are not in
love and just there for the ride,
then you're either a horrible
person
or
in
d enial.
But
n onetheless, whether you
love the person you're
with or not, remember that this form of
outercourse might as
well be just as serious as intercourse and the necessary safety
precautions should be taken.
But according to a friend
that I know very well, the
one thing all of you need to
remember, no matter your sex
or your partner's, remember
this sequence: clockwise for
20 seconds, counter clockwise
10 seconds, left, right, left,
right, and clockwise for 10
seconds.
If this doesn't work, don't
blame me, it sounded legitimate (plus he has credentials,
he's a psychology major).
But then again, if you really
want to use this logic of love
making, you might as well
follow the Contra code (anybody else remember it? Up,
up, down, down, l eft, right,
left, right, B, A, START).
I apologize if I
offend anyone, but
everyone is a geek.
Society has dragged
this term through the
mud and made it into
an insult. Being a
geek is simply being passionate
about something. No matter the
person, everyone is a geek.
I am a geek about movies,
especially zombieflicks,Westerns, and sci-fi. I enjoy all video
games from shooters, to strategy, to role-playing. I will even
admit that I still dabble in Pokémon, because it is a great game.
Actually, Pokémon is very similar to fantast football or basketball brackets considering the
strategy and tactics involved.
My passion for these things
makes me a geek. In high school,
I would have been ashamed, but
now I am empowered by it. I
do not care if people mock me,
because these are what I like.
Everybody gets their kicks off
something, whether it is sports,
"Star Trek," animals, "World of
Warcraft," coffee, cars, or anything else, it is perfectly normal.
It is abnormal to not
be passionate about
something.
If you take abuse
for what you love, my
advice is do not stop.
Never give up something you love because
of what someone else
says. Ignore those who
put you down, because if they get in
the way of your passions, they do
not care about you.
On the other hand, control your
passion. Do not force it on other
people. Just because you like something, you do not have the authority to make others like it. Introduce
them with small doses. Even too
much for you can be self-destructive.
If you enjoy knocking others
because they enjoy something
"geeky," look at yourself. You are
not so different. Think about what
your passions. Just because society
deems what you like "cool," you
are still a geek. In the end, you are
going to be alone.
Whether you have developed a
love of sports statistics or action figures, embrace what you do. Being
a geek is nothing to make fun of,
because every single person reallya
geek. And that is a good thing.
The division of addition and illegal aliens
BY BLAINE H MOGIL
Pride Staff Writer
Through the addition of immigrants seeking a better life, we
have become a nation of division. There no longer remains
a singular us, but a divided us
and them. Some divisions hide
below the surface, while others
stand tall, reaching out across
hundreds of miles of desert,
separating us from our friends
and neighbors in Mexico. Our
nation is losing her way and
her moral compass in need of
repair.
Our nation today is one
obsessed with political correctness. We live in a time where we
so fear offending others that we
separate and insulate ourselves.
In the process, honest communication is lost. Together, we must
revive honest and open communication in order to reunite and
reconnect. While we avoid the
offensive labeling of others with
derogatory nomenclature out of
political correctness, we have at
the same time ironically adopted
the use of the highly offensive
word "alien" to describe immigrants. In the process we have
created the great chasm of us
and them by burning the bridge
that connects us. It is time for
us to openly agree to disagree
with each other, return to communicating honestly with one
another, and together find ways
to peacefully coexist. This will
illuminate the path back to a
united us.
The United States of America
is a country that many people
consider the greatest on earth.
This honor can only be earned
through deeds, and not through
hollow claims of greatness.
As a nation, we have forgotten
our history. We have forgotten
who we are and where we have
come from. We have forgotten
what, at the very heart, makes
our nation great. It is the immigrant.
We are all immigrants. Every
last one of us is an immigrant.
There is not one person living
anywhere in North America,
let alone within the confines of
United States borders who does
not owe their lives here to immigration. We implore the world
to "bring us your tired, your
poor, your huddled masses,"
with an engraved invitation on
that most American symbol of
freedom: the Statue of Liberty.
Do we have the brazen audacity to forget the vital lessons of
how, and by whom, this great
nation was built?
How dare we assume a political posture that somehow
today immigrants are no longer
worthy enough to live on this
soil? How dare we see immigrants as some type of invasive
foreign entity that will somehow destroy the very fabric of
our society? How dare we label
our fellow citizens of this small
planet with the dehumanizing
term of illegal "aliens?" We
should be ashamed of ourselves
for even thinking about people
who have immigrated here in
such a demeaning and derisive
manner.
The Native American Indians arrived here, by many
accounts, across a bridge of
ice from Asia over ten thousand years ago in search of a
better life. The Viking Erik the
Red led his people here over a
thousand years ago in search
of a better life. While searching for shorter trade routes to
the Far East in search of exotic
spices, Spain settled colonies
here nearly five hundred years
ago, with the Puritans following their lead a hundred years
later. America has long brought
together people from all walks
of life, and added the richness
of their cultures to the American melting pot. For hundreds
of years mixing together the
cultural spices of myriad cultures has created the great banquet of American society. Yet
today we fear that by adding
any more immigrants to this
mix from south of the border
will somehow throw this great
banquet out of balance. This is
an idea which is baseless, fallacious and ludicrous.
The only thing more ridiculous is building a wall across
our southern border to keep
Mexican immigrants out. The
wildly incredible claim that
this wall will keep out terrorists
and drug traffickers is simply
a rouse. The wall is a monument built solely to placate a
public that has been whipped
into frenzy of fear by conservative talk show hosts. Terrorists and drug traffickers will
find the wall no hindrance. If
terrorists and drug traffickers
want to circumvent the wall,
they will continue to go over,
under, around it. More likely
they will find another way into
our country as they prefer the
path of least resistance. This
'Wall of Shame' is the only
thing remotely as ignominious as calling our neighbors
"aliens."
Now is the time for us to
abandon our status as an "Alien
Nation" and reclaim our status
as a nation of the world. To
paraphrase President Reagan's
Berlin speech, we as a nation
need to come to understand,
once again, the importance of
freedom. We need to develop
new policies of reform and
openness."
This can be the beginning
of profound change here in the
United States. But this change
must be real, and not simply a
series of token gestures intended
to create false hope. I understand the fear of terror and the
pain of division that afflicts this
country.
Please, President Obama,
pledge that our country will
overcome these burdens. As
President Reagan said, "We
believe that freedom and security go together." So President
Obama, if you seek peace, if you
seek prosperity for the United
States and North America, I say
to you now President Obama,
tear down this wall.
As this symbolic and very
real representation of the division between us is felled, so too
will the division between us
and those who seek a better life
here in the United States fall.
And then can the healing begin,
and can hopes and dreams be
rise from the ashes of bridges
burned.

"Pollen allergy, commonly
An allergy reaction is the
called hay fever, is one of the immune system's response to a

reads an allergen as a foreign
containment in the body and thus
begins to attack it and causes
itchy eyes, a runny nose, and
often coughing and sneezing.
Researchers develop theories to
determine the leading source that
cause allergies, but a pin pointed
reason remains unknown. Theories include that in modern
living, homes are very 'clean
and often have very little germs,
thus this ultra clean environment
never allows the immune system

airborne allergies because of the
lack of exposure.
The NIAID supported scientist's research that discovered
a link between children whom
grew up with one or two cats or
dogs i n their home and their susceptibility to allergies. The study
revealed that the children were
less likely to develop allergies.
The early exposure to the constant pet allergen may have been
the contributing factor for an
allergy free life.
Another leading theory is
heredity.
"Children are more likely to
develop allergies if one or both
parents have allergies. In addition, exposure to allergens at
times when the body's defenses
are lowered or weakened, such as
after a viral infection or during
pregnancy, seems to contribute
to developing allergies," according to the NIAID.
In severe forms of allergies,
asthma is often connected. The
respiratory symptoms of asthma,
which affect approximately 11
million Americans, are often
provoked by airborne allergens,
according to NIAID.
So what is being done to help
aid this epidemic?
Many cleaning products are
taking action against this more

Fabric Refresher™. The allergen
reducer claims to reduce more

C SUSM's seventh annual International Fair
Schoolwide event promotes diversity and community
BY GABRIELA MARTINEZ #
Pride Staff Writer
Cal State San Marcos' seventh
annual International Fair took
place Thursday, April 16. The
three-hour fair took place on University Hall Plaza. This cultural
tradition was organized by University Global Affairs Committee
and was sponsored by Co-Curricular Funding Award, Office of
Global Education, ASI, SLL, LLC
and Many Student Organizations
The International Fair gives
CSUSM students, friends, faculty,
and staff the opportunity to come
together and appreciate the many
cultures that make our university.
One of the most anticipated traditions of the International Fair
is the free sample dishes from
Europe, Latin America, Asia and
many more.
Every year, the German booth's
popularity seems to increase.
Senior CSUSM student, Jean
Scheuneman says, "Every year
we get 300 Rohwurst. We never
know how many people are going
to show up, but we just do the best
we can and we get a lot of people
from our club to help out."
Aside from all the mouth-wa-
tering food, the International Fair
featured entertainment with performances by TAM TAM Mandingue, West African drummers,
and Hip Hop group Soul Junkies.
Kwame Degbor, a visiting professor, enlightened spectators with a
Ghanaian dance.

"It keeps growing, it keeps getting bigger and better. I think this
is one of out best events of the
year. Just the International Fair in
itself and how all the ethnic clubs

out here, enjoying the free food,
enjoying the culture, it's just a day
of unity really. I'm just happy to
be a part of it!" says Alexander.
Each table at the fair included a
variety of displays. The tables had
photographs, objects, and facts
that were unique to each country along with samples of native
foods.

Theater department brings Big Love to C SUSM

understanding the real nature of
love. The dialogue ranges with dramatic irony, as the female and male
characters unveil the hardships we
all face in gender roles. The play
begins with a sensual bathtub scene
andfiftybrides arriving in Italy as
they have fled from their assigned
marriages in Greece.
The performer's versatile abilities
portray the complexity of each character. Jason Gonzales (Giuliano),
Cole Tran (Leo), Claudina E. Evans
and Tiffany-Raven Peters (Eleanor), and Jessica Swan (Bella), shed
moments of laugh-out-loud humor
and inner giggles. The audience
will surely not forget performances
Hie CSUSM Visual and Performing Arts brought "Big Love"
to our campus with a spark of dramatic flare and infectious enthusiasm last week with performances
from April 15-19. As an audience
spectator, I had no choice but to give
some big love to all of the performers. Don't be fooled by the play's
title. Big Love does not succumb
to cliched Varieties of romantic bliss
and the Disney version of everlasting courtship. Directed by Marcos
Martinez and produced by Charles
Mee, "Big Love" delves deeper into
by the three leading ladies played
by Kristine Fernandez and Patricia
Bowen (Olympia), Krista Potocny
and Jessica Ruiz-Bustos (Lydia),
and Yolanda Catano (Thyona). The
brides and the three grooms played
by Jesus Moreno and Drew Quizon
(Nikos), Mucio Vidales (Constantine), and David Edwards (Oed)
showed excellent stamina as they
pounded their fists in tantrums,
rolled on the floor in emotional
agony, and combined yelling with
moments of passionate subtlety.
To set the tone for the evening, the
audience is greeted by two women
in bright white bride dresses as an
usher with black rings around his
eyes will open the door for you to
the Arts 111 auditorium. You may
have even seen theseflayingbrides
run around the International Fair
this past Thursday.
As I arranged myself to sit in the
middle row, the enchanting and classic wedding music set the tone for a
memorable on-campus experience.
The eerie mood will creep into your
mind, a mood not only set by the
plot, but also by the performances
of everybody on stage. The stage,
withflowingbackground images of
Italy's countryside, remains simple
with a bathtub and cylindrical bars.
The simple stage allows the performers to make drastic body move-
ments and choreographed ballroom
dance scenes.
The most impressive aspect of
the performance shined through in
the delivery of personal speeches
in which the performer talks upfront to the audience. These personal speeches combine sweeping
philosophical statements with very
human perspectives on love. A
refreshing emphasis of characterto-audience dialogue can be seen in
this "Big Love" quote, "For the sake
of healing, for life to go on, there
will be no justice." For the sake
of appreciating great theater, I clap
loudly and smile on my home down
the Chavez stairs.

D ale's Pale A le
A simple name but a powerful brew
BY JONATHAN
THOMPSON
Senior Staff Writer
Oskar Blues Brewery
brews and cans Dale's
Pale Ale in Lyons, Colorado. The company
formed in 1997. Two years later,
the brewery became a brewpub.
The restaurant side of the company offers their brewed beer,
southern and Cajun styled food,
and live blues music. In 2002,
they claimed to have become the
first US microbrewery to can its
own beer. Employees hand-can
the beer inside a 60-year-old
barn.

can pressurizes a brew
with a 6.5% alcohol by
volume. BevMo also
sells four other Oskar
Blues Brewery beers.
Dale's Pale Ale pours chunky
forming a menacing one-inch
thick head. The head resides
momentarily before dissipating into a thin lancet of yummy.
The brew radiates a rich golden
amber hue* The bitter aroma
rising from the glass indicates
the heavy use of malts and hops.
The common name and the
simple guise of can-in-a-beer
does not do the beer justice.
The brew enters smooth before
a ravishing Jason Statham flying
round house kick double punch
assaults all areas of the mouth.
After the initial blow, the taste
buds recuperate only to ask for
more.
The boldness and thickness of
the beer should pair well with
heavy dinners such as steak and
potatoes with lots of dinner
rolls. Avoid consuming
the beer alone. Enjoy the
brew with anything, such
as chips or beef jerky,
to truly enjoy the beer's
courageous flavor.
As the essay and
exam dates stack up
stay focused, but take
a moment of relaxation and enjoy the
tasty Dale's Pale Ale.

In today's troubled economy, if any kind of restaurant has been undaunted and
continues to grow, it's the
süshi bar. Although popular
food chains and local favorites are closing every day all
over the county, sushi bars
continue to sprout up everywhere. Why? It is because
the appeal of the sushi bar is
more than just good food; the
experience is what makes it
memorable and keeps people
coming back. Not the fake,
constructed experience that
some places (coughBenihanascough) have, but somewhere where the employee
is not paid to smile and does
anyway. The atmosphere of a
restaurant and the dedication
of its employees to making
great food and entertaining customers seem like a
lost art. A place that represents this idea perfectly is
the Love Boat sushi bar and
Japanese restaurant located
in the new Las Posas plaza
in San Marcos.
In the past, people would
visit restaurants and bars
because of the repertoire
they had with the people

it sounds, restaurant customers are more likely to come

back to the place "where everybody knows your name". With
the expansion of modern-day
chain restaurants, this kind of
intimacy has been lost in most
places, where communication
is most of the time limited to
a speaker box. What sets the
Love Boat apart from other res^
taurants is the experience you
have with the "bartenders," the
friendly sushi chefs who greet
everyone as they enter, make
recommendations on the best
food that day, and are more than
willing to spread around f ree
drinks for a special occasion.
The Love Boat's menu is typical enough: a blend of traditional sashimi style entrée's, the
fusion sushi rolls like the California, and a generous menu
of meat, fish and vegetable
combinations cooked in Japanese fashion. They offer all the
imported Japanese beers and
sake the Other sushi restaurants
do. Asking around, it becomes
apparent that most people who
go there are not there for the
authenticity. "It's really more of
a hangout spot than a restaurant
for me" says CSUSM junior
Jason Reyna. "We come out here
after school or work when my
friends and I have had a rough
day, and it (the restaurant) just
has a great positive vibe to it.
The place doesn't have the seriousness (about drinking) of a
bar or the formalism of á typi-
cal restaurant. We come for that
middle ground."
Don't get the idea that the
Love Boat is only a place for
partiers, though. The restaurant
is just as much f un as a family
environment as well, according to regular patron and local
business owner Andy Wegner.
"When I bring my kids here, I
don't have to worry about them
being too distracting to the
other people, because there's
so much going on already" said
Wegner. "At the same time, I
prefer to bring them to a place
where they can get food that
is better for them than pizza
or French fries or something."
From religious sushi lovers to
the first-timers, the Love Boat
is the perfect choice for those
looking for a local restaurant
with a little something extra.
For information on the hours
for Love Boat San Marcos, call
760-471-7722. The Love Boat
also has two other locations:
Oceanside, on 125 Old Grove

Radiohead
BY BLAINE H. MOGIL
Pride Staff Writer
BY AMY SALISBURY
Faces and Places Editor
Thorn Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed
O'Brien, and Phil Selway are
arguably the gods of rock.
Their alternative influence on
modern music caught and kept
worldwide attention since their
first release over 16 years ago. I
don't think I need to explain to
you how awesome their music is.
Radiohead is, after all, inexplicable.
Aside from Radiohead clearly
ruling their genre, the band is
also on the forefront of utilizing
green technology.
Lead singer Thom Yorke's
strides to raise awareness about
global sustainability have brought
about major change in the band's
touring habits. In a 2008 interview with Treehugger magazine, Yorke criticizes the music
industry's over-consumption of
resources in order to make more
tour dates while, in turn, bringing in more cash. Yorke, being
the revolutionary he is, made
Radiohead's 2008 In Rainbows
tour the most eco-friendly tour of
recent years.
Liars, Radiohead's opening act,
wrote about their touring experience in a blog on MySpace. "At
the outset we were all given tour
water flasks. Plastic anything is

like contraband."
Radiohead also decided to
tour by bus rather than by plane
because just a three-hour flight
emits as much carbon dioxide as a
Hummer would in a year. What's
more, the buses and trucks used
by the bands and crew ran on biofuel.
Radiohead's merch website,
waste.uk.com, revolves around
western over-consumption. The
merchandise producers do everything they can to make products
that that have a minimal impact
on the environment. The newest
items are t-shirts for men and
women made out of recycled
plastic bottles and organic cotton.
There are even some "unbranded"

A neverending story
BY JAMES SEBRING
Pride Staff Writer
Brian and I had found the canoe
on the beach and decided to take
it for a ride ouf onto the lake. We
had been wading earlier and found
that the water temperature was
quite warm. It was almost like
submerging into yourself, it was
hard to tell if you were actually
in the water. We had decided to
go rowing out along the shoreline
and see what was there. We rode
along quietly with nothing more
than a slight slushing of the paddles as they cut through the water,
we surprised several animals who
were basking along the edge of
the lake. As we came around one
bend, we came face to face with
a large bull moose who was busy
eating from the lush greenery at
the water's edge. He immediately
came to attention, alert to the
danger we presented. Snorting his
warning a couple times, he began
to make a move to charge us.
We had quickly and as quietly
as possible, with as little movement as we could manage, come
to a stop. A mere 5 to 10 feet
separated us from the moose.
The shear size of him was breath
taking. Without conscious effort,
I became aware of the sound of
the insects and birds around us as
well as the heat of the sun raising
a prickly heat all over my skin. I
almost swatted a mosquito that
was gnawing at my forearm,
when I realize the moose was
watching my every movement
intently.
I whispered, "Paddle backwards very slowly."
I made a very slow movement with the paddle, trying not
to have the movement appear in
any way threatening. Slowly the
paddle moved forward through
the water causing an imperceptible backward movement of
the canoe. The heat seemed to
rise as the moose's breathing
caught mid-breath and he began
to move his ears impatiently, his
tail twitching side to side as his
nervousness looked for an outlet.
A second stroke of the paddle
brought little more movement
than the first. We seemed to be
moving away by centimeters,
more as a result of the wind and
current than our paddling. A third
and fourth stroke was giving us a
slightly more perceptible movement, and just as I began to think
we had successfully pulled it off,
the moose charged. He covered
the distance without any noticeable effort. Although his speed
was breathtaking, time seemed
to slow to the point of stopping.
I watched the water give way to
his feet, slowly spraying up into
the air. I yelled and back paddled
as hard as I could, but to no avail
as the moose dipped his head,
bringing his large rack to bear on
the bow of the canoe.
The canoe shuddered under

into the air with apparent easy
of a leaf being picked up by
the wind. Brian and I were
launched into the air and over
the side as the canoe came to
rest a short way from us. The
moose seemed satisfied that he
had dispensed the danger and
turned to wander off into the
woods. We swam to the canoe
and after a brief inspection,
realized it was not functional.
We grabbed onto the debris
and just floated along. The
breeze was picking up and
pushing us further away from
the shore. It was also getting
dark - rapidly. Here in the
mountains, the sun seemed to
almost switch off like a light
switch. I could no longer tell
which way the shore was. The
warm water was as comforting as a warm snuggly blanket and I began to doze off. I
began to listen to the rush of
blood through my ears. My
mind began to hallucinate,
losing its grip on reality. It
was telling me that everything
was ok and I should relax and
let go. I drifted down into the
quiet warm darkness. I never
felt so safe and secure. I felt

emphasized drama and conflict
over cheesy bits, "The Soloist" will
be a great teaijerker.
I do not have the same hope for
the other twofilmsin wide release
this week. First, Channing Tatum
stars in a movie called "Fighting."
As one might expect in afilmcalled
"Fighting," the movie is about
Tatumfightingseveral people.
The title "Fighting," redly puts
me off this flick. If the creative
minds behind this film cannot
come up with a better name for a
film aboutfighting,I do not expect
a decent plot or character development. If one wants a good movie
aboutfighting,check out some clas-
sic Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan films,
because they have good stories, and
both men are actual fighters.
I also do not have hope for
"Obsessed." The story is simple.
A husband and wife have a perfect life and then another woman
comes in a throws everything out
of control. The conflict is the wife
versus the new secretary.
I will not be seeing "Obsessed"
any time soon. It stars Beyonce
Knowles, who is a name more than
an actress, the story looksflat,and
the market campaign make this
film look like soft core pornography. "Obsessed" is an amalgamation of other, better, domestic conflict films.

BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
Last Wednesday
was Earth Day and
the major television
studios were all over
it. Local and national
news shows changed
their logos and fonts
to green for the day and featured an incredible amount
of stories about recycling.
Nevertheless, it was all
a show. The next day logos
were back to the same colors
and the news proceeded as
usual. The media needs to
be wiser when it comes to
environmentally responsible
practice.
Earth Day is only one day
a year, but the meaning of the
day should carry through.
The actions of the news stations perpetuate the trend
that environmental concerns
are a trend more than anything else.
It was difficult to watch
news anchors get excited
about recycling when
it was obvious they
were using some
reserved
fake
enthusiasm. They
do
not
need to get
so excited
about
local
recycling
on
one day. Rather,
they should stress
the importance of
responsible behavior.
It was deceiving.
Just because they
changed logos to
green for a day does
not help the problems. Sure, it was
better than not doing anything.
Yet, what they did is similar to
an individual solving the D arfur
crisis by wearing a red shirt.
There is awareness, but they
really are not doing anything.
If a company really wanted to
show they are going green, they
could do more in depth stories
about alternative energy, promoting recycling, and using their
power to motivate the people.
One of the reasons people do not
care about the environment is
because of ignorance.
This is where the responsibility o f the television news comes
into play. Based on the amount
of murder and robbery stories
covered, one can assume they
have no problem scaring the
population. If the news
really wants to
"go green," they
need to let people
know that failure
to care for the
environment
will lead to our
downfall. It is
not a trend. It is
being responsible
and ethical.

m arriage a hot issue today
and the question c ouldn't have
been more appropriate.
Miss CA, C arrie P rejean's
answer not only o ffended the
j udges, but people around the
country. She s tated, "We live
in a land where you can c hoose
same-sex m arriage or opposite,
and you know what, I t hink in
my country, in my family, I
t hink t hat I believe t hat a marriage should be b etween a man
and a woman. No o ffense to
anybody out t here, but t hat's
how I was r aised."
W hile I r espect all viewpoints on the issue of samesex m arriage, I feel the Miss
USA pageant is not the platform to express these t ypes of
opinions.
The Miss USA pageant con-
sists of 50 c ontestants r epresenting t heir home s tates and
c ompeting to r epresent the
United States as a whole. As a
r epresentative and as a public
f igure, one must s trive to r epresent as many c onstituents as
possible. Miss CA's answer,
although t rue to her p ersonal
b eliefs, was not r epresentative
of C alifornia nor the U.S. and
abandoned her r esponsibility
t o the people of b oth her state
and country.
Additionally, it is i mportant
to note that she did not answer
Perez H ilton's question. I
believe t his whole c ontroversy could have b een avoided
if Miss CA had a nswered the
question she was given and
ended on that note. Hilton
clearly asked if Miss CA felt
the other states should follow
Vermont and l egalize gay-mar-
riage. T here w as not a single
mention of t he s tates, t heir
a bility to d ecide on t his issue,
or even of C alifornia's c urrent
decision on P roposition 8.
It is sad to me t hat Miss CA
decided to t ake t his r oute highlighting how d ivided we stand
as a n ation. I w ish she would
have put h er p ersonal beliefs
aside f or o ne n ight and understood h er p lace as a public
f igure. We do not live in a
c ountry w here you can choose
b etween s ame-sex m arriage or
opposite (whatever that is supposed to mean), but maybe one
day we w ill. Maybe wheji that
day c omes, we can l earn to
be a n ation t hat s tands united
r ather t han d ivided on the
b asis of p ersonal choice. No
o ffense t o anyone out there,
but I w as r aised t o love everyone no m atter what.

ASI Election Update
BYKEVN CHATHAM
Pride Staff Writer
The ASI presidential elections
wererevealedthis week. Alexander Hoang, the presidential incumbent, won the ASI presidential election. Many rumors and speculations
regarding delay of the presidential
election results ensued after ASI
released theresultsof all the other
ASI positions. Lynn Tcxbert, ASI
Vice President and Chair ofthe Elections Committee, answered a few
questions:
Why did the presidential election
results take so long to be revealed?
Unfortunately, we hadmany allegations fUed against candidates, mostly
the presidential candidates. Therefore,
we could notreleasetheresultsof the
presidential election until investigations andfollow-upswere finished
How do you fed the process

a good job handling each situation as

W ater scarcity p anel
comes to c ampus
BY PRISCILLA GEORGE
Pride Staff Writer
Thursday, April 23: During University Hour last Thursday, a panel
discussion spoke concerning the
uigent newsregardingwater scarcity
in San Diego County.
The panel was comprised of Dr.
George Vouiiitis and Dr. Vrvienne
Bennet, both from CSUSM, and
Mr. Bruce Wilkinson from Water
Business. The Political Science Club
together with the Model United
Nations Club sponsored the event
The discussion focused on various
factors of water scarcity within our
county, including the cost of importing water and what solutions may be
possible for preventing future water
scarcities.
Dr. Vouiiitis aimed his presentation on the general facts of the water
cycle, including the process of water
inputs, outputs, storage, and climate
models.
'"Given the low variable rainfall of
ourregion,most of our water has to
be imported," Vouiiitis said
Vouiiitis pointed out that climate
models predict an increase in temperature and a decline in rainfall in the
western U.S.resultingin less water
causing the current Level 2 drought
"The Mure looks grim," Vouiiitis
added
Bennet focused on where our water
camefromstating that 54 percent of
our water supplyfor2008came from
the Colorado River basin.
"Southern California is in a crisis.
We are importing about 85 percent of
our water," Bennet said
She discussed the idea of creating
new canals and river pipelines for a
more direct form ofreceivingwater
but discussed how that mayresultas a
heavy tax burden to taxpayers.
Wilkinson wrapped up discussion
by expanding on drinking water statistics such as waterrelateddiseases
and deaths as well as possible solutions to this "dry" dilemma.

Faculty spotlight w ith Professor Edward Balian
BY KEVIN CHATHAM
Pride Staff Writer
Professor Edward Balian is
a business professor that began
his career at CSUSM in 2007.
He teaches in both undergraduate and graduate courses in the
areas of quantitative and survey
research methods. Balian was
nominated for 2007-2008 President's Award for Innovations in
Teaching (a university record of
eight nominations). In conjunction with his academic success,
Balian has an established career
as a musician, photographer, and
an author of business texts.
"The Pride" had the opportunity to sit down and interview
Professor Balian.
THE PRIDE: You have an
impressive resume. How do
you find the time to do it all?
EDWARD BALIAN: I would
sum it up by saying I use operation management applications
in my life to manage my time.
It's all about efficiency, planning, and organizing important
business and personal elements.
Operation management helps
me make the best use of my time
and helps me operate my busy
life, being efficient in their time
usage (as in operations management techniques), and having
a strong self-discipline—you
need both. I believe all people
are capable of accomplishing far
more than what they think they
can IF they really apply themselves.
THE PRIDE: On your website, you stated that your lifechanging, first rock and roll
record was "Walk, Don't Run"
(1959) by The Ventures. Can
you describe the experience
and how it changed your life?
BALIAN: Well, this was
before your time. The album
was huge. It was a huge record.
It's what you would call "surf
guitar" nowadays. The drums
were so wild and rocked up. I was
hooked from there. I was about
ten years old [and] the record
was like outer space futuristic.
From then on, I wanted to play
guitar.
THE PRIDE: On your website, you state that your favorite bands are The Beatles and
Pink Floyd. Can you tell me
why?
BALIAN: Creativity. They
have creativity beyond anyone
else, even to this day. With these
groups, you don't know what to
expect next. They were so captivating.
THE PRIDE: What was your
first musical experience?
BALIAN: When I was about
eight or ten years old, I wrote
an original piece on the clarinet.
The piece was about two minutes long. But after I heard the
guitar, there was no more clarinet for me. Actually, my uncle
was a concert symphony violinist. All my aunts and uncles
played something.
THE PRIDE: Was the clarinet your first instrument
then?
BALIAN: Yes, the clarinet
and drums on shoe boxes.
THE PRIDE: So how did the
GeorgeEdwards Group come
together?
BALIAN: The GeorgeEdwards Group is a two-piece band.
Raymond George, my musical
partner in Los Angeles, is the cofounder. Our group came from a
four-piece band from Detroit. It
was about the late 60's or early
70's. I guess you can say the
Edwards Group evolved from
the Detroit band, Andromeda.
That was before anyone knew
how to say Andromeda; it was
before the book "Andromeda
Strain."
THE PRIDE: Can you recall
your first concert experience?
BALIAN: I was about sixteen. It was a Beatles concert.
I was twenty feet away from
them. I paid five dollars and
fifty cents that was top price at
the time. The arena had about
18,000 people. It was a huge
audience. This was way before
the rock stadiums. It was almost
unheard of to have a crowd that
large. Back then, that was a giant
concert. It was wild.
THE PRIDE: How would
you describe the sound of the
GeorgeEdwards Group?
BALIAN: That's the key
to our album's success. The
reviewers say that our music is
unique and different. It's not a
like the Stones, Beatles or Pink
Floyd. It's like pieces of all
those bands mixed together. I
would describe it as a swirling
combination of those sounds.
We were just trying to be ourselves, that's the secret. We
were just being ourselves. We
weren't trying to fit the mold.
Actually, I was told within
this past year that our sound is
like "Space Rock," a sound in
Europe during the early 70's.
We'd never even heard of that or
had no idea it existed. We have a
large following in Europe actually. That's where a lot of our
fans come from. I think music
is characterized as being esoteric, intellectual, and psychedelic. It's not the kind of music
you would hum in your car. It's
something deeper than that.
THE PRIDE: Do you
have any new projects in the
works?
BALIAN: Yes, actually I have
a lot in the works. The GeorgeEdwards Group is working on
two brand new CDs. Our record
company made a deal with iTunes
and we'll be on that pretty soon.
There is also a vinyl record reissue being re-pressed. Silversky
Orchestra just completed a CD
of piano and orchestra music. I
am also working on recording
two brand new songs.
THE PRIDE: So if you could
spend the rest of your life not
worrying about anything and
doing whatever you want, what
would you do?
BALIAN: Exactly what I am
doing right now. I love teaching and I love my students. I
want their success and I want to
see all of them succeed. I also
want some sort of involvement
in music and the other creative
arts.
THE PRIDE: Do you have
any last words of advice?
BALIAN: Yes, this is an
interesting story. The band,
you never know what's going to
happen next. You never know
what's going to happen in your
life. Always do your best all
the time. You never know what
will happen, what opportunities
will come, when they'll come.
Always, always do your best no
matter what you're doing.
THE PRIDE: Last question,
if you had a superpower what
would it be?
BALIAN: I would want to
live forever, to help others and
create.

RecycleMania trophy goes to CSUSM for fifth straight year
BY JAMES SEBRING
Pride Staff Writer
Over 500 colleges and universities from all over the United
States and Canada participated
in the RecycleMania competition
this year. 4.7 million students
and 1.1 million faculty and staff
on these campuses collectively recycled or
composted just over
69.4 million pounds
of waste over the
ten weeks of competition. CSUSM
recycled an all time
high of 78 percent.
CSUSM's Blue
Crew and Green
Team
diligently
sorted
through
the garbage and ^
recycle cans, sep- ^
arating out recyclables from nonrecyclables.
CSUSM owes its
fifth consecutive win
to each and every
member of the
campus community. From the
students who made the effort to
throw stuff in the bins, to administration who provided the bins
in quantity, to staff who went
through old files and trash, to
people involved in supply acquisitions who order materials that
are recyclable.
CSUSM Recycling Coordinator Carl Hanson also personally
thanked member of the UniverVillage
Apartments for their
involvement in
RecycleMania.
"Special
thanks to Brian
Dawson and everyone over
at UVA for the great help that
they gave in their first year of
participation in RecycleMania.
Their effort was awesome,"
said Hanson.
CSUSM won the competition by almost 14 points above
the nearest competitor.
Other prize winners include
first time entrant McNeese
State
University
who
grabbed both the "Stephen
K. Gaski Per Capita Classic"
and "Corrugated Cardboard"
awards. What makes this Louisiana school's performance all
the more impressive is that it is
entirely student organized. Bard
College won the "Food Service
Organics" trophy. Kalamazoo
College won "Bottles and Cans."
Stephens College won a second
time in the "Paper" category.
Rutgers University claimed the
"Gorilla Prize," which is total
weight of recycling.
The competition is not just
a final count at the end of the
10 weeks, there is an ongoing
count, which everyone knows
and so the lead often changes as
efforts increase to catch up, go
ahead, or regain the lead. For full
details of this year's competition

For dinner: apple, goat cheese,
onion, omelet. Dissolving peptides, a medicated ritual. Her
porch, a smorgas of bells and
chimes. Sand dollars, paper
weights, stilted birds.
She lost her voice a long time
ago. Hysterical laryngitis. Family
members knew it was her when
she called because there was no
response to hello other than a
tapping of a pen on a hard surface. Three hard taps for How are
you? Six lighter ones, two hard,
four, equated to a range of other
responses.
For lunch: an ethereal licking
of a turquoise twilight. A beached
examination. Curl lipped, pencil
straight teeth, bearing them
whiter than she would have
expected for an animal. Black
skin taut as it purpled under the
sun, distant maroon spots crimsoning as flies gorge flesh.
Bits of shell dug into her feet.
Frictions, fissures. Feel of seaweed, a slippery twirl about her
leg that let her know she was not
alone. Days of putting sunscreen
on before going in, waiting a
half hour after eating, shuffling
her feet so she didn't step on a
sting ray, warnings of pee turning purple when mixed with salt
water.
Sun, synapses, ladled fog. A
ballerina punctuated, painted in
the clouds. A trembling example
of human origami. Of dreams
collaged and tides stolen. Neighborhoods with childless strollers. Of umbilical cords tethered
to tiny shoes, of pig skins, and
fetuses, of a sea urchin's breath,
and the tongue of a lantern's
single moth.
Sometimes she fell asleep in the
sand. Other nights she wandered
into the tide, hoping it was heavy
enough to pull her out. Held a new
string of beads in her hand: fallI

The Squirrel Story
A memoir, by Syndee W ood
Squirrels hate me. The feeling is mutual.
The rest of the world thinks that squirrels are
cute woodland creatures, but I know the truth:
They are just rats with fuzzy tails using their
cuteness to mooch off dim-witted humans
with food to spare. I know the truth.
One of the little bastards once chewed his
way through my brand new beach bag as I
relaxed in the sand, reading Lolita. I would
never have known if it weren't for the hot guy
who I thought was checking me out. He was
actually watching the beast drag my trail-mix
through thefreshly-chewedhole in the bottom
of my bag. I would gladly have grabbed the
disgusting little creature and wrung his neck
myself, if it weren't for the raging case of rabies
I'm sure he had.
Squirrels don't like me.
One day I realized how far these disgusting vermin would go, to terrorize me. It was a
summer morning like any other. The sun was
not yet out, which meant that I could head offto
the beach for a peaceful walk, before the crowds
got there. I dragged my daughter, Alexa, out of
bed and informed her that she'd be joining me.
After a short discussion, she relented, and we
got to Ponto beach before the sun had burned
off the morning haze. It was my favorite time behind the little guy, I started walking toward

Lost andfoundwords on a menu. "Surprise
me," he says, and she scribbles something on
her pad, doesn't even look up, like people say
this to her all the time and she transcribes their
meaning.
It's the people who make it dive in like
four cups of coffee to stave off the night air
and space, asking you to decide what Taylor
sits solitary at his table watching her pour the
coffee into big greenware mugs, her Up red on
top, white on the bottom, creased below by the
fullness of her chin. The mugs are part of why
he likes this place even though they say lazy,
too lazy to refill you too often. That isOmer's
doing.
She brings him angel food cake heaped with
whip cream. What else are you going to eat
at 3 am? And eggs over easy with catsup, just
like he likes. She brings the cake first, then circles back dumping her handful of cocoa shavings into the cream. Whip cream the color of
her hair on white cake the shade of her skin, no
sign of a hairline beginning, forehead ending,
what people look like if you stay up all night
driving transports for art supplies from state
line to state line.
In the doorway she reaches up, tearing down
the sign above her head. Maybe the Sunday
special on angel food cake. It is sweet and
spongy in his mouth, sticky and thickened by
her handful of cocoa. Heaven is in the details.
Every fourth Thursday when Taylor crosses
that state line he turns off at mile 543. And one
night he is early, still in his cab just past midnight as she arrives, her Valiant chugging up to
the unlit side of Omer's Diner. One booted leg
steadies itself on the ground while she reaches
to the back seat and grabs a karate ghi to cover
herreddress. Her pale outline against the dark
of mid night startles anew; wakefulness. She
has never looked at him directly. Her gaze now
is a brief scan against the oncoming light of
another rig- eyes like the Malamute caught in
his headlights.
She stands, cinching the ghi, then reaches
down to remove one slingback sandal, tossing it to the back seat and replacing it with
an enclosed black platform. The boot up her
right leg is fitted closely around the ankle,
zipped along the inside of her calf, roundly
treaded. He expects her to limp as if she is
hiding a wooden leg under that euroboot, like
a foot condemned. But she half waltzes into
Omer's Diner, a swish of red keeping time to
a beat in his head.

"I did not! I tried to save him," but the tears
were already blurring my vision. "How was I
supposed to know the stupid thing would run
toward me?"
We walked down the beach to where the
body lay. When we got close enough to get a
better look at his face, we could see that it was,
basically, missing. His flesh was hanging off
his head. It looked like he had met the Cajun
Cook and lived to tell about it, at least until I
came into the picture. I felt terrible. Still, I
couldn't help but think that maybe my attempt
to save his life gone awry had really put him
out of his misery. How long would he have
wandered around the beach, trying to figure
out what had given him this splitting headache,
if I hadn't come along?
Later that night, after I had told the story at
least a hundred times, Alexa, Kendall, Dane
and Jared called me into the kitchen. I could
hear giggles. There, on the table, was my
beach bag, the one with the hole chewed into
it. A Beanie Baby squirrel, his eyes taped shut
with x's, was lying near the bag. Trail mix was
strewn about.
"Oh my God," I thought. "Who raised these
children?"

for Sale' hang in the windows. As she stops
to enter from the dark lot she is a Klimt still
life in reverse, phosphorescent light against the
kiosk dot and symmetry of too much pattern
still alive.
"No more angel food cake?" he asks when
she reaches the table farthest from the door
where Taylor seeks refuge. She looks toward
the kitchen and shakes her head. He thinks
it is Omer who has put an end to it, Sunday's
special still there on Thursday, her feeding it
to the truck drivers too old to care. He reaches
for the greenware mug before it is set on the
table, but she withdraws it, arcing to the side
where it now rests, no splash in her, having
long since lost both security and certainty.
She sets the mug of coffee down with her left
hand, walks away one booted foot infrontof
an unequal other, a shadow of blue running
up herrightarm, fading into elbow under the
white ghi.
No more drive, he returns to his truck,
climbs behind the sojourning seat and lays
headlong in a berth of sleep. Tapestries and
textures tap, tap, tapping his mind, weaving
and leaving lines, electric wires turning blue
under his skin, illuminating signs he cannot
read.
On his lidded screen she is sitting, waiting, wide-eyed but never looking ahead.
Her head in her hand, she stares off to the
side, her elbow stacked atop her knee on one
exposed leg, her chin resting on one warm
hand. As if an artist has drawn it too big,
then outlined it in red, a line runs down the
side of herfleshypalm, a flaw solved, disappearing into the dress. Always crimson,
always waiting, he wakes to her image tipping his senses into the day he sleeps through
waiting for the night of driving, always forward, always on.
Another round of unnamed signs brings
him back to mile 543 where an unimprinted
'£>' is written on her blank nametag, watersoluble dots on plastic, sustaining a place for
a name he wishes he knew.
"'D' for Darlene?" he asks, suddenly old,
Rumplestiltskin revisited.
One finger moves to the T>', transferring
off the ink, the protruding shape obliterating her finger blue, a miracle of flesh and
thought
"Just Dee." The words form in his mind as
he stares again at the symbols on the menu.
He looks up to see if her lips have moved, but
he is unsure.
"I'm hungry, but I don't know what. v. What
would you suggest?" he asks, her pad poised
for his order. She bends toward the menu, the
smell of silent snow on age-soft stone. The
whistle of a train passing behind Omer's diner
inclines her back toward it. Then, "Bring what
you like," he says, a wrap of trust and apathy
hard-baked in a crust. Her head, turned toward
the passing train, nods, and smothered sighs
in lines and dots she does not write tap Morse
code on his mind.
"With nuts," he calls to her. The red slingback is left on tonight, ever so slyly listing to
the right as she walks off to the kitchen, her
knee halffrozenon its tweedled hinge, manic
from the leg down.
The food, when it comes, is nutritive communion. Mustard onfrilledlettuce sprinkled
with almonds and small hunks of hamfroman
omelette withheld, gingered apples by the side,
what unhungry people crave. But for him, a
venture restored, a difference soothed.
Another four weeks out he turns off at mile
543. She glows through tapestried cracks
in the window waiting for coffee to pour, to
read minds on the menu. A crater on a collision course entering Omer's diner, he hopes to
greet her in the familiar, at one of eight empty
tables, no booths to hide in. But the quiet of
the night that is morning speaks the orders
that don't matter, except coffee. Just once if he
could occupy her gaze, but still, she looks off
to the side and brings whatever she likes, just
what he wants.
Eager, he reaches for the plate, but her movements circle around his and the plate is down.
Key Lime Pie so pale it is white. Taylorreaches
to touch herrighthand, the one that holds the
pad she never writes on, the words he never
says. He hears but does not see their formation,
yet he knows the whispered meaning; please
don't. It is spoken as a warning, as a Madonna
protects from harm, but he can't heed it. He
spills the coffee she sets down, stops her hand
as she pulls back, quicker than he looks.
"Mea culpa," he says, a dreamer reaching
out to absence.
Her hand, loose against the pad will be cold
to his coffee spilled palm, but it is not. It is hot
with an iciness that stings until the next fourth
Thursday when she is not there. And Omer
says she never was.

THE PRIDE
W hat to see on D VD
Two rookie outings and one hall of famer
BY BLAINE H. MOGIL
Pride Staff Writer
A week without a plan,
movies all over the map, and
the result is a week with t hree
very enjoyable f ilms. Would
you believe a Chinese Will
Smith? Film number two is an
u pdated movie by an old time
comic. You w ill when you see
t he f irst selection. Finally
we take a look at an old cult
classic comedy. So sit back
and watch some movies f illed
with ups and f ree of downs.
"Ping Pong Playa" stars
Jimmy Tsai as Christopher
' C-dub' Wang as a young
adult who d reams of playing
in the NBA yet he j ust d oesn't
seem to have what it takes
to make it h appen. While he
claims g enetics have l eft him
two inches short of his d ream,
the r eality is that his l aziness
is k illing any hopes he may
have. His b est f riend D.B. is
the only one willing to drown
his u nrealistic NBA dreams
and force C-Dub to accept
his lot in l ife and begin doing
something with it.
The Wang f amily seems
like a t raditional Chinese/
A merican f amily, and in
t his f ilm, the f ather r uns the
f amily " Ping Pong" supply
store while the mother teaches
p ing-pong at the local community center. C -Dub's " perfect"
older b rother is a doctor and
champion ping-pong player.
W hile out g oofing o ff with
D.B., C -Dub's antics lead to a
car w reck. In the accident, his
b rother and mother are mildly
i njured. C-Dub, with much
reticence, f inally takes his
place in the family and f ills
in for his mother's classes and
f or his brother in the pingpong t ournament.
In this f reshman f ilm, Tsai
is both the w riter and lead
actor. He plays it safe and
keeps e verything down the
middle of the road. For a f ilm
with l imited r isks, there is a
very nice reward in the f inal
p roduct. If you close your eyes
f or a moment while watching
t his f ilm, you j ust might t hink
you were watching the "Fresh
P rince of Bel-Air." It would
be hard to p redict that Tsai
will be the next Will Smith,
but it is not d ifficult to compare him at t his early stage
of his career with Will Smith
at the same stage in his. Nice
story, nice p roduction, and a
very f un f lick. I look f orward
to his next f ilm, and a fter
watching t his I t hink you will
too. What to See ***
"Hollywood Endings" is
w ritten and directed by Woody
A llen, who also s tars as Val,
a great f ilm d irector whose
career has vanished due to
his d ifficult temperament. As
a young moviemaker, A llen's
humor was hip, c utting, and
o riginal. His early f ilms such
as " Sleeper," "Take the Money
and R un," and " Bananas"
quickly established him as an
all time great writer, director,
and actor. Then he lost his
way. Allen began to spend too
much time t rying to prove his
i ntellectual prowess, much
like Dennis Miller, and in the
process sent audiences yawning and sleep walking to the
exits.
In t his f ilm, Allen has come
f ull circle, and r eturns to his
comedic roots with a very
enjoyable f eature. He has mellowed over time, but here he
proves that his ability to a rtistically create f ilm comedy
is as sharp as ever. This is a
great cast, with Tea Leoni as
Val's ex-wife. She is tough as
n ails, yet still has a s oft spot
for Val. The best p erformance
is by Debra Messing as Lori,
Val's love i nterest. Lori is a
slightly dimwitted starlet,
and M essing's p erformance,
although minor, is t ruly captivating.
The one limiting aspect of
this f ilm is the demographic.
I think anyone under sixteen
will f ind nothing appealing
in this f ilm. The more years
you have put behind you f rom
age sixteen, the more this f ilm
will touch your sensibilities.
There are young adults who
will strongly i dentify with
Tony "Scumbag X," Val's son.
This is a solid f ilm f rom
s tart to f inish. What to
See****
"The Kentucky
Fried
Movie" This f ilm was w ritten
by rookie w riters Jim Abrams
and brothers David and J erry
Zucker, and was d irected by
John Landis. So what? Well,
Landis has d irected some alltime classics such as "Animal
House," "Beverly H ills Cop
I II," and Michael Jackson's
" Thriller." The w riters went
on to w rite such classic spoofs
as "Airplane," "Hot Shots,"
and "Top Secret."
What t his means is that t his
f ilm is the premiere work of
f our stooges, and I mean that
in a good way.
This is a series of sketch
comedies as you might expect
to have seen on "SNL" in the
70's. The humor is p uerile,
lowbrow, and yet somehow
s till, a fter all these years* it
is very f unny. Whether it is
Cleopatra Schwartz, watching a movie in " feel-a-round"
(this was made when surround sound was still f resh
and new), or "Catholic High
School Girls in Trouble"
(which is there to a ttract the
13-17 male demographic),
e verything here ranges f rom
mildly silly to very f unny.
There is no r ust on t his
f ilm, j ust a nice p atina. D on't
be reluctant to dust t his one
o ff and watch it. While the
episode, "A F istful of Yen,"
may make you t hink about
m artial a rts in a completely
new light, overall, t his f ilm
will shine a little laughter on
your l ife. What to See ***
Lisa Hannigan
BY AMY SALISBURY
Faces and Places Editor
Backup singers are, by popular definition, vocalists that
could not cut it as lead singers.
Every musician or band needs
backup support on tour, though
I am sure some soloists would
love if they could harmonize
with themselves live.
As such, one might imagine
backup singers' careers are as
fragile as a single-press album.
Off the top of your head, try to
come up with a musician who
started out as humble support
and became successful.
Unlikely, right?
The Eagles are easily the
epitome of classic Americana.
Glenn Frey started his career
with Bob Seger in 1968. The
multi-platinum artist Sheryl
Crow toured with the unbelievably famous Michael Jackson. Luther Vandross, soul
royalty, contributed vocals
with several artists in the 60's
and toured supporting David
Bowie in the 70's.
And Lisa Hannigan gave
six creative years to Damien
Rice.
Now, she has released her
first full-length album.
Irish native Lisa Hannigan
was born in 1981 in County

Meath. She began performing
professionally with Damien Rice
in 2001, mostly singing with him
on recordings and occasionally
contributing guitar or bass in live
performances. Hannigan also
appears on recordings with The
Frames, Snow Patrol lead singer
Gary Lightbody, and the late Mic
Christopher.
In 2007, Hannigan and Rice
had a "falling out" of sorts, and
she immediately left tour to
begin solo work. In early 2009,
Hannigan released "Sea Sew" in
the states.
Hannigan's appeal lies in her
breathy, ethereal voice. However,
in the album track, "Pistachio,"
she presents her poetic ability
as well. The song begins with a
simple piano riff quickly evolving into a crafted melody. A jazz
bass and gentle drum join the
mix, producing a pleasantly folky
blend. Hannigan sings, "I do, like
sugar, tend toward the brittle and
sticky when spun," filling the
song with her increasingly powerful voice. The decidedly soothing ballad ends with a swirling
cello, closing lightly with harmonious hums.
Hannigan and her band are
currently gearing up for a UK
tour. Go to her website, lisahannigan.ie, to see live performance
footage.

nesting by a gentle fire underneath a dark blue star-studded
sky as a comet passes overhead
in the distance. Desert tan and
river turquoise color the packaging. A red bottle cap with
the company's name and logo
seals an ale with a 4.7% alcohol by volume.
The brew pours smooth generating a subtle head. The head dissipates
leaving a thin lancet. A beautiful
amber hue radiates from
the chilled glass. The ale
enters with a quick shock.
Shortly thereafter, a more
sugary mellow yummy
tone takes over. The beer
leaves a thick coating of
tastiness on the tongue.

Tuesday Apri/ 28, 2 009
BY BILL RHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
As May and f inal exams
approach, this week marks
the start of the summer movie
season. The highly anticipated
"X-Men Origins: Wolverine"
is the f irst summer blockbuster of 2009. This f ilm,
staring Hugh Jackman should
blow away the other f ilms this
week.
The summer movie season
is s tarting early in May with
several anticipated f ilms,
such as "Star Trek" and "Up"
Arts & Entertainment
Early in April, a copy of
"Wolverine" was mishandled
and copies of the movie wound
up on the black market. Online
remarks of those who have
gotten a hold of it are mixed.
I expect there will be stunning actions scenes, as seen
in the trailers. If this movie
can create a balance with the
plot, character development,
and action, as the f irst two
"X-Men" f ilms did, t his will
be an awesome f ilm.
With the wild expectation
of "Wolverine," it could be
easy to forget about the other
f ilms out this week. The other
entries this week are a romantic comedy and an animated
sci-fi f ilm.
Matthew McConriughey and
Jennifer Garner star in "Ghosts
of G irlfriends Past." McConaughey plays a womanizer
who must revisit past relationships in a Dickens "Christmas
Carol" style. This is because
he let Garner's character slip
away and he must get he back.
It seems predictable, but it
might be something for those
who do not want to see "Wolverine."
Lastly, there is "Battle for
Terra." I have mixed thoughts
Image courtesy of 20th Century Fox about t his animated f ilm. It is
arriving in theaters soon. This
week belongs to "Wolverine."
Hugh Jackman r eturns as Wolverine in this prequel to the
"X-Men" series. The loaded
cast includes Ryan Reynolds,
Liev Schreiber, and Danny
Huston back him up.
The f ilm explores Wolverine's past and shows how the
man with regenerative powers
developed his signature claws.
It is also loaded with other
heroes and villains including
Cyclops, The Blob, Sabretooth, and comic fan favorites
Gambit and Deadpool.
THE PRIDE
Image courtesy ofLionsgate Studios
set in f uture a fter the destruction of E arth, and tackles
heavy humanity issues. The
surviving humans set out
to conquer a p eaceful alien
planet in order survive. This
f ilm is loaded with political
sentiment and great actors yet
the dialogue and CGI-look of
the f ilm in the trailer makes
me think I will wait until this
comes out on DVD. A d ifferent studio, such as Disney,
might have handled this story
better.
Regardless, neither of these
f ilms will make a dent in
"Wolverine's" box o ffice earnings. The gross f rom "Wolverine" should gauge how much
people are willing to pay for
movies this summer.

in informational picketing
on Nov. l8.Yellow postcards and purple
fliers were passed out between 11 a.m.
and 1 p.m. in Founder's Plaza while student groups and vendors sold food and
merchandise.
The demonstration was a protest of
the lack of a new contract between the
CSU system and the California Faculty
Association (CFA), the bargaining agent
for all CSU faculty members, even those
who do not belong to the union.
Adjunct professors, whose jobs are
p art-time, were p articularly u pset.
"Part-time faculty members are ex-
ploited," c harged Nancy H aggardGilson, who has been an adjunct political science professor at CSUSM since
the fall of 1993.
Gilson received her Ph.D. from UCBerkeley and taught at an East Coast
college for eight years before starting at
CSUSM. She said she is so frustrated
with her treatment as an adjunct faculty
member that she will leave CSUSM at
the end of the semester. Faculty members with at least one-year contracts get
better pay and health benefits, Gilson
said, adding that, like many part-time
faculty members, she h as been on a
class-by-class semester basis with absolutely no job security.
Particularly irritating to Gilson, ironically, was an informational flier passed

issue for many
disabled students
By Miguel Reyes
Pride Staff Writer
This s emester h as n ot been
easy for most students, for various reasons. But, for those with
physical disabilities, it has been
a particularly trying time.
First, there was the Tuesday
when an October brush fire behind t he s chool f orced an
e vacuation of t he c ampus.
Then, there was the power outage that left the ACD building
powerless for an entire day and
most of the night .
T hough c ampus s ecurity
coped ably with both crises, it
left some of the
152 s tudents
who are registered
w ith
CSUSM's Disabled S tudent
Services (DSS)
wondering
about the whatifs.
One of them,
Shirley Taylor,
w ho n eeds a
cane to walk and a little car to
carry her books, asks, "What do
you do when the elevator is out
and there is no one to help you
reach your class on t he third
floor? What if the building is on
fire? How are the disabled students going to get down if the
elevator is out?"
Taylor says she is particularly
worried a bout t he elevator.
"Last semester, the elevator in
ACD building was out for about
f our days, a nd I missed my
classes because the elevator is
the only way I can get to the
third floor," she says.
Taylor adds t hat CSUSM's
Disabled Student Services Department does not have sufficient staff to provide escort service to classrooms in times of
outages.
John Segoria, coordinator of
the Disabled Student Services,
says that in a situations where
the elevator or the power is out,

Karas, vice president of Academic Affairs, Steve Lilly, dean
of the College of Education, and
Victor Rocha, dean of the College of Arts and Science, they
were given a continental breakfast accompanied by a slide
show on Southern California
habitats and wildlife.
Teachers were invited to an
exploratorium in The Dome to
see demonstrations by student
t eachers. They i ncluded a
"Foamy Soda" demonstration
intended to show K-12 students
the principles of effervescence
in the bubbling of soda pop; a
presentation on how to make
words magically appear on paper; and a display on the force
of gravity on inanimate objects.
Another, the Tornado Tube,
which featured two, two-liter
bottles joined head to head and
filled with colored water, demonstrated the movement of water v ortexes in t ornadoes,
whirlpools and waterspouts.
Presenter Shawn Reynante said
she was "amazed at the interest and how science can be so
much fun."
Other presentations were
more technical. One on aerodynamics used Bernoulli's Principle to show how planes take
advantage of air pressure to
create lift and how a ping pong
ball could b e s uspended in
mid-air by using a blow dryer.
Lorin Scott, a student at L.R.
Green Elementary School in
Escondido, said it was her favorite exhibit, but added that
t he e ntire c onference was
"pretty cool cause we get to see
a lot of experiments and how
they work."
The exploratorium was followed by teaching sessions for
would-be science teachers. In
one, on edible tectonics, Milky
Way bars were used to show
the concept of plate tectonics
f or K-6 g raders. A nother,
"Making Music with Goblets,"
explored the concepts of pitch
and tone, while "Butterflies/
Las Mariposas" showed teachers how to introduce students
to insects.
Some CSUSM p rofessors
participated in t he sessions,
including Joe Keating from the
College of Education and Graham E. Oberem and Paul G.
Jasien from the College of Arts
and Sciences. Jasien said he
has been involved in K-12 education since 1991-1992.
"K-12 science education is
extremely important and a lot
of teachers in t he College of
Arts and Sciences are dedicated

continued from page 1
to teacher training," he said,
adding that CSUSM students,
"whatever basic science they're
going to learn, they'll learn in
the College of Arts and Sciences
and then they'll learn to apply
it in the College of Education."
The conference, he added,
was a direct result of the cooperation between t he two colleges.
But the sessions by no means
were limited to CSUSM participants. Lego land representatives invited teachers to take
school field t rips to t he new
park in Carlsbad. Sea World
officials held a workshop exploring the different species of
w hales, u sing an i nflatable
killer whale.
"I'm impressed with all of the
different ideas about how to
t each s cience," s aid W alt
Brame, a student teacher. "As
a future teacher, it makes me
excited about taking what I've
seen in the presentations into
the classroom. This is motivating.

"We video and audio tape
c lasses f or s tudents who
missed the class. We even turn
in some of their homework and
assignments," he adds.
Taylor also complains that
there are only a few spots for
disabled students in the nearest staff parking lot. Other lots,
she a dds, a re much f urther
from the class buildings.
According to Segoria, t he
school has the requisite number of disabled parking spaces
required by law,
and t hat not all
t he 152 disabled
s tudents drive a
car to school.
Transportation
from parking lot
to campus is another p roblem,
according to Taylor. "When I
made an appointment t o get my
transportation from my car to
my classes, I was informed by
Mr. Segoria t hat CSUSM did
not provide any mobility for the
disabled students during regular, or any, class time," she
adds.
Since CSUSM is not as big as
San Diego State University or a
community College, Segoria
says, DSS is not required t o
help students with their transportation, nor is it legally responsible to bring people into
the campus from the parking
lots.
"But as the school continues
t o grow, we will re-evaluate
that," he adds.
Both the overall number of
s tudents at CSUSM and t he
number of those with disabilities are increasing every semester.

Educator-Administrator
helps develop future
for CSUSM students
By Jeff Cox
Pride Staff Writer
1 " V uring t he course of his day as an administrator
l a t CSUSM, Silverio Haro takes a close look at
J L S How t he university is providing learning assistance t o its students, tries to develop new ways of helping them, teaches a Chicano Studies class at neighboring Palomar College and, before his evening is complete,
writes a few more pages of his dissertation for a doctorate h e is completing at Harvard University.
"I only wish I could do more to give back to this community," says Haro, CSUSM's assistant to t he Vice president for learning assistance programs.
Haro, a product of t he CSU system himself, understands the importance of CSUSM's presence in the community and hopes t o develop ways t o recruit, assist and
retain f uture CSUSM students. His current responsibilities include reviewing programs such as t he Writing Center, Math Center, Educational Opportunity Program (EOP), ASPIRE (Achieve Successful Performance
Intensify Reliability Effort) and Disabled Student Services in order t o develop ways for students to get t he
most out of t he university.
He and a graduate assistant from SDSU are comparing t hese programs and services to those successfully
used in other colleges. "Ultimately, we are trying to determine how we can create a one-stop center where students can come t o get any form of assistance they will
need along their way to graduation," Haro says.
Haro takes pride in both the Hispanic Faculty and
Staff Association, which h e founded upon his arrival at
CSUSM in 1990, and t he "I'm Going to College" program, which was heavily influenced by his own experiences as a fourth grader. The program involves groups
of Latino students f rom local elementary schools who
are brought to t he CSUSM campus for a special tour.
Haro and other volunteers explain to those students
how to apply for admission, get financial aid, buy textbooks and other important aspects of college life.
While working to coordinate these programs, Haro
is a s tudent himself in t he School of E ducation at
Harvard University. Since h e started his Ph.D. program
there in 1992, h e has studied under several prominent
academics in t he field of education,including Arthur
Levine and Henry Rosovsky.
Haro credits t he administration of CSUSM with being very supportive and understanding during t he absences h e had t o incur while completing his coursework
at Harvard. Upon graduation, which h e hopes will be
next J une, h e will hold a doctorate in Education Administration, Planning and Social Policy.
Throughout his work at Harvard, Haro's focus has
been on higher education. His dissertation will provide
an analysis of institutional quality for a small, private
u niversity in t he M exican s tate of Z acatecas, La
Universidad Autonomia Fresnillo. Rather than comparing it t o universities in t he United States, Haro says, h e
is trying to determine how quality is defined within t he
college itself.

As a result of his many administrative responsibilities at CSUSM, he finds t hat his dissertation has
to wait until t he weekends. "Lately, I have been in

�Business students seek end to long registration payment lines
By Jodine Hammerand
As CSUSM grows in size, so does wait-*
ing in line at the Cashiers Office. Students wishing to pay tuition, parking,
and financial holds, or to receive emergency loans and paychecks, find t he
waittongduring peak times such as two
weeks prior to the start of the semester
and two weeks after. Fiscal Operations,
p art of S tudent Financial Services,
which encompasses Financial Aid Business Operations, Accounts Receivable,
and the Cashiers Office, has tried to get
the word out to students that some business transactions can be taken care of
without waiting in line. They have enlisted the help of four business students
to help resolve this customer service
problem.
The student consulting team working
with Fiscal Operations is part of t he
College of Business Administration's
Senior Experience program. All undergraduate business students complete
this two-semester course graduation
r equirement. According to Dr. Alan
Omens who heads the Senior Experience, the objective of this program is to
provide students an opportunity to integrate their classroom knowledge in
real-world problem solving situations.
Well known o rganizations such as
QUALCOMM, Sony Electronics, Sea
World San Diego, Hewlett Packard,
LEGOLAND California, and t he San
Diego Police Department have all had
student consulting teamsfromCSUSM.
The four students involved in the
project began the summer semester by
learning that the Mission Statement for
Administrative Services reflects that of
any business wanting to satisfy its consumers: "Building Excellence in Resource Management and Customer Service." In addition, the Convocation Address by President Gonzalez on August
26 also states that one of the four goals
he has set for the university this year
involves 'accountability,' wherein the
effort to continue customer-centered
o perations includes developing and
implementing a plan to improve awareness and delivery of customer service.
With this in mind, Student Financial
Services offers five methods of tuition
payment to students: credit card payment using the Smart System; credit
carcl number or check deposited in the
on-campus drop box; mail-in check;
ATM/debit card payment; and cash
payment. The latter two payment options must be done in the Cashiers Office. A significant number of students
however, t hat have credit cards and
checking accounts, still stand in line.
The consulting team interviewed students standing in line and discovered
that some students are not aware of all
payment options; others pay in person
to obtain a receipt. According to Geri
Hilton, an employee of Financial Aid

Business Operations, procrastination is
a human trait when it comes to paying
bills, therefore requiring a trip to the
Cashiers Office. Some students, according to Hilton, are waiting on paychecks,
others on moneyfromparents, in order
to make payment. Since the reasons for
paying in person are diverse, in order
to decrease the workload in the Cashiers Office and improve the time students stand in line, many issues were
looked at.
The Senior Experience team members benchmarked other college campuses in order to study efficiencies and
inefficiencies related to CSUSM Fiscal
Operations. Some colleges and universities offer Internet payment with well
designed Web pages for easy and quick
use as well as up-to-date fee deadline
information. Some universities have
kiosks for one stop shopping. Palomar
College does not allow in-person payments for registration fees at all.
Furthermore, after the start of the semester, Palomar students can make all
payments - registration a djustment
payments (adding classes), parking,
I.D., (including having photo taken) in
the Student Union Building. Similarly,
Mesa College locates all their student
services buildings i n one location on
campus for student convenience. It is
unfortunate that CSUSM students must
go to the 5th floor Craven Hall for Ad-
missions and Records, 4th floor Craven
Hall for Financial Aid, 3rd floor Craven
Hall for Cashiers Office, and drive to the
Campus Security building to have their
I.D. picture made.
Since CSUSM is a young campus and
is experiencing 'growing pains,' now is
a good time to work on the problems
that will only become larger if awareness
and delivery of customer service is ignored. The one thing the consulting students have been impressed with, is how
emphatic the Director of Fiscal Operations and the Assistant Director of Student Financial Services are about providing the best possible customer service for the students. This is the reason
for submitting this business situation to
Senior Experience.
And for the Senior Experience students, it has been a great opportunity
to help students and future students to
follow;The project allowed them to give
something back to the university with
the rewards of making t he campus a
better place to learn.
Any students wishing to attend the
thirty-minute presentation on Fiscal
Operations are welcome. The presentation is Wednesday December 9, 4:30
p.m. in Commons 206. Contact Dr. Alan

ust when you Ve got
ten used to the hot,
dry desert summer,
A m a subtly chilling au
t umn arrives and a
frosty winter is just around the
corner.
Winter in North County can
mean temperatures below 70
during the day and almost always below 50 at night. It's a
prescription made for a cold or
the flu.
But there are some things
you can do t o reduce the odds
of suffering either one. Here are
some hints from doctors:
(1) Keep at least three feet
away f rom c oughers a nd
sneezers. That's t he distance
airborne droplets from coughs
and sneezes can t ravel. If
droplet reaches you, you could
wake up sick a few days later.
(2) Be careful about prolonged s tays in c losed-in,
crowded spaces. Rooms with
no or poor air circulation are
the likeliest spots t o pick u p
cold viruses. Avoid them like
the plague.
(3) Drink plenty of fluids.
Liquids, particularly hot liquids, soothe the throat and help
Pride Staff Writer
loosen secretions, relieving nasal congestion. "Clinical studies show that water don't necessaryflushout cold germs, but
it moistens your nasal and respiratory m embranes, which
when dehydrated, can easily
invite and retain germs," says
Dr. Karen Nicholson, director
of CSUSM Health Services. Try
for eight glasses of water, fruit
juices or other non-caffeinated
fluids every day.
(4) Get a good night's sleep.
This keeps your immune cells
powered up, according to research conducted at the Veterans Administration's San Diego
Healthcare System.
(5) Take vitamins C and E.
Although there is no conclusive
evidence that they can prevent
colds, several studies suggest
that they may slightly reduce
t he d uration and severity of
symptoms. Consult your doctor
about how much of either vitamin is best for you.
(6) Exercise. Thirty to 6 0
minutes of moderate exercise,
such as walking, jogging, bicycling or swimming at least three
t imes a week can help build
your resistance to colds.
(7) Wash your hands often
and avoid touching your face.
Most colds a re t ransmitted
through indirect physical contact. For instance, a sick person
who transfers germs from nose
to hands can contaminate any
object he touches. Others who
handle such an object and then
rub their own noses or eyes can
get infected.
(8) Have chicken soup for
lunch or dinner. Warm fluids
are h elpful in relieving cold
symptoms and can act as expectorants. Chicken soups are
rich with protein, vitamins and
minerals, all of which are helpful in fighting cold germs.
(9) Keep your .stress level
down.
(10) Keep your room humidity moderate to high.
(11) Aim for a balanced diet.
According to the American
College Health Association's
p ublication, "Managing t he
Common Cold," m ost cold
m edications a re a imed at
symptom relief and immune
system support. There is no
medicine that directly attacks
the cold virus.
But, it adds, every healthy
person has an immune system
capable of producing cells specifically able to destroy cold viruses.
If you catch a cold, ACHA
suggests t he following t reatments:
1) Take aspirin, ibuprofen or
acetaminophen to ease aches
and pains and to lower fever.
3) Inhale warm, moist air to
soothe inflamed mucous membranes, You can do this by taking showers, putting a pan of
water on your bedroom radiator or by using a cool-mist humidifier.
4) Use disposable tissues instead of h andkerchiefs. Research has shown that cold viruses can survive for hours on
handkerchiefs.
5) Get plenty of rest. Your
body heeds the time to allow
you to recover.
6) Gargle with salt water every four hours to help reduce
swelling in your throat. Use one
teaspoon of salt in a large glass
of warm water.
7) Don't smoke. That will f urther i rritate your n asal pas-

Support the quality of education at CSUSM
How much is t he quality of

..is it worth more to you than
your new CSUSM track or your

If so will you PLEASE join
me in writing a letter or an email to CSU Chancellor Charles
Reed to request that your instructors get paid more than
prison guards!
If this grinch gets his way,
class sizes will ificrease and instructors will get paid 11% less
than they would at comparable

In addition to this misery, he
will get away with not providing health benefits to long term
part-time faculty.
Our professors deserve to be
treated fairly.
I want my degree f rom
CSUSM to be looked upon with
admiration.
This is not possible if the
school allows the quality of instruction to plummet due to
over-working and underpaying
their faculty. The students will
end u p paying t he u ltimate
price.
I am a recent a lumni of
CSUSM. My degree was one of
the first nine given in the Communication major.
The only reason I took a risk
and chose to go to a school that
had a promising, yet un-established existing reputation and
gamble with a new degree program, was due to the incredibly
high caliber of instruction I
knew I would get in s mall
classes, taught by actual Ph.D's.
It is incredibly rare to be
taught by a t enured, experi-
enced professor.
At CSUSM you have t hat
luxury.
However, this will all change
if these talented individuals are
driven away from CSUSM because they are getting paid less
than instructors at other CSU's.
The only reason I came and
several others come to CSUSM
is because of t he r eputation
t hat t hese i nstructors h ave
built.
I want my degree to be recognized as the culmination of
knowledge gained under t he
tutelage of some of t he best

Guest Speakers Share: World AIDS Day
Drug and Alcohol
Awareness Seminar

On Wednesday, December 1,
three guest speakers shared their
stories and experiences, commemorating World Aids Day at
CSUSM. Two of the guests
were HIV/AIDS positive, while
the third was a caregiver at two
licensed facilities in North
County.
Many people die or are severely injured as a result of drug and
alcohol related accidents each
year. In an effort to promote
Understanding, Student Health
Services sponsored a Drug and
Alcohol Awareness Seminar
Thursday, December 2 in ACD
102 from 3:00pm - 5:00pm.
Although adults between the
ages of 25-45 represent the
largest population of reported
cases of AIDS in the U.S.,
young adults between 14 and 25
are at the greatest risk of contracting the disease, especially
women. The Peer Education and
Support Program, along with
Health, Counseling and
Disability Services, raised AIDS
awareness on campus with the
presentation.
The event opened with a welcome from Reina Abeyta, a LVN
from the Student Health Center,
and co-coordinator of the day's
event. ASI president Waleed
Delawari then read an emotionstirring poem about a young girl
who had refrained from drinking
at a party, only to be killed by a
drunk driver. The audience listened attentively to the four
speakers who followed.
After further tests, the results
came back HIV positive. She is
not absolutely sure whether or
not she contracted the virus
through the dirty needle.
The second guest speaker
was a middle-aged male
Hispanic who was HTV positive.
He was born in Kansas City,
Missouri, and was raised in
Chicago and Orange County,

called Day Without Art a day of

The Season
By Victor Mireles
The turkey has been
devoured, the pie eaten, and the
football games played. Now the
Christmas season begins. Yes, I
said the word "CHRISTMAS."
Not "holiday." Slowly over time
we, as a society, have removed
Christmas from our collective
lexicon. The Christmas play or
pageant has long since been
banned. In some schools, candy
canes have been banned as being
religious in nature. People have
"Holiday" parties with
"Holiday" trees and "Holiday"
candy.
This time of year every sign
says "Holiday Savings" or
"Holiday Values." The "Season"
has become one long shopping
binge of the worst kind. The use
of the word Holiday instead of
Christmas for store use is justified by the claim that not all the
population is Christian or about everything in general. In

A Christmas Letter
By Cindy Tagliapietra
This time of year is always
hard for me. Papers are due.
Exams are coming up. The holidays are right around the corner
and money is tight. Several years
ago I read an article in a newspaper with ideas of things to get
those people in your lives that
are close to you. The answer was
simple: love. Write a love letter.
I did just that. I went out and
bought some Christmas station-
e ffirtbe
ary and sat down and wrote 25
things I love and appreciate
about my husband. I did the
same thing for my three children.
After all the presents were
unwrapped that year, I pointed
out to everyone they had one
more gift to open. As my husband read it, I could tell I had
found the perfect gift for him as
his eyes welled up with tears
while reading his letter.. For my
children, it wasn't so evident,
until one day as I was changing
the sheets on my daughter's bed.
Dear Editors:
Colorful chalk drawings
advertising AIDS Awareness
Week greeted me today as I
made that dreadful climb up the
stairs of Mount CSUSM to campus. I was delighted to see that
awareness was being made about
this incurable* deadly disease
and hoped that it would lead to
improved prevention for students. But as I started to
approach the peak of the
Mountain I began to see oddly
shaped ^balloons" tied to the
rails, gleefully swaying in the
morning breeze. Upon closing
examination, condoms. Huh?
The holidays are right around the corner. This year, do something
a little different. Think of those around you who may be going
through a difficult time right now Someone who may have lost a
loved one, someone struggling with a medical condition, someone
who is in the process of looking for or starting a new job. Someone
who is struggling with an addiction or has gone back to school after
many years. Someone who is going through a divorce or break up of
a relationship, someone who is feeling lonely or depressed, someone
who is having financial difficulty. Try practicing Random Acts of
Kindness.
Give someone words of encouragement either verbally or send a
card. They will get the warm fuzzies just knowing someone is thinking of them! Pick up a bouquet of flowers from the grocery store to
perk up someone's day. Unexpectedly buy a friend lunch. Help out
your parents by washing their car, or better yet, fill up their gas tank
without being asked. Give a hug just because. Call or visit someone
you haven't been in touch with for awhile. Give mothers with small
children a break. Open doors for them. Offer to baby-sit free of
charge! Bring cookies to share to work. Tell a professor or teacher
how much you appreciate them, (you could also tell your parents,
spouse, and/or friend the same thing!) Look around at all you have
been blessed with and spread the wealth. You will find that when
you practice little Random Acts of Kindness, it makes you feel better
but it also touches the hearts of those around you.
OUT!" graces the cover.
Something just seemed really
wrong with all this, so I vainly
tried to refresh my memory of
7th grade sex education. This
produced little more than a disturbing image of the live pregnancy video I was shown, so I
gave up to see if the Internet provided any answers.
After a bit of searching a website (http://www.hivdent.org)
gave me the infomation I was
looking for. As it turns out condoms are 90% effective in preventing the transmission of HIV
when used properly. For you
John Q. Math Majors out there
that would leave a 10% chance
that you would contract the
virus. 10%? That's about the
same odds as winning one of

games. Which I have won! The

of stylish Sprite endorsed sunglasses.
the sheets" game, AIDS is not
something you can just put on
your shelf because you don't
find it particularly useful. It's not
cheesy merchandise; it's an
incurable, deadly disease!
Instead of handing out guns for
students to play sexual Russian
roulette with, something more
practical must be done. How
about both partners being tested
prior to relations? Or what
about. 1 *ga$p*.. abstinence?
While I don't fully endorse the
latter, the former is quite plausible, and I know from experience.
Our society seems to be forming in a way where we try to
dodge the bullet instead of just
not pulling the trigger. I hate to
see condoms endorsed as an HIV
prevention method and I hope
the students of CSUSM will
think ahead and realize that the
trigger need not be pulled.
I made my way to the Dome
to grab a bite to eat and a copy of
the school paper. On my way I
noticed colored chalk animated
with arrows pointing to the
direction of "free condoms."
Apparently if I were to follow
these arrows I would get a "kit"

As I tucked in the sheets, my
hand touched paper. There, I
found underneath her mattress
were my Christmas love letters
stacked neatly with other things
she treasured in her life.
The things you write about
don't have to be earth shattering
accomplishments, but things
like, "I love the way you smile. I
love the way you take the dog
out for a walk without anyone
asking you. I am happy you are a
part of my life." Now, almost ten
years have passed since I started
my tradition and it is the first gift
opened on Christmas Day. I still
tell them how much they are
loved and appreciated. Now, I
also add in highlights of things
they accomplished and even
obstacles they had to overcome
over the past year and point out
how proud I am of them. Since I
have started this, I have spread
the word to my friends and other
relatives. It is the gift that my
best friend and sister request
every year. Last Christmas, I
added something extra with my
letters. I purchased special boxes
for my family to put their love
letters in. In the last couple
years, I have noticed I am now
on the receiving end from my
eldest son and best friend. It is a
wonderful tradition to begin. It is
unique, personal and guaranteed
to be cherished. All it takes is a
little time and love.

Retraction
With profound regret, The Pride announces that the following articles, submitted by Staff Writer Mark Zornes and
accordingly attributed to him in the pages of The Pride during the past semester, were substantially plagiarized:
"Student Flick of the Week: The Astronaut's Wife"
September 7, 1999
Star Wars: Exhibit Attracts World to San Diego"
October 4, 1999
"The Three or Should I say Four Wise Men Deliver"
November 15, 1999
"Pokemania"
November 15, 1999
The Pride apologizes to its readers, to the campus community at large, and to the original authors of these texts. When
the paper published these reviews, the editors and advisor
were unaware of the plagiarism. Indeed, a student paper, like
the campus and thewider academic world, can only operate
on the. assumption that writers are honest and that their work
is their own. The free exchange of ideas depends on this
assumption.

The Faculty Mentoring Program hosted its annual Holiday Dialogue
Gathering Thursday evening, December 2nd, in the Dome. Mentors and proteges assembled to celebrate the season with a catered dinner from El Polio
Loco. Festive activities planned by the FMP staff included a gift exchange and
awards.

Under the direction of Dr. Vickie Golich, Edward Polhert, and Dr. Elisa
Grant-Velone along with excellent support staff Rose Russell and Olga
Gonzalez, the Faculty Mentoring Program continues to expand the opportunities for first generation college students and those from lower socioeconomic
backgrounds. Sixty-nine faculty members and ninety-one students are currently
involved in the program.
Polhert gave credit to Gonzalez, who joined FMP at for the successful
turnout of the sixth annual event.
FMP offers academic preparation, workshops, and activities that allow students to learn strategies to increase their educational opportunities and complete the goal of graduation. The encouragement from the mentors becomes an
integral part-of the students' academic experience and a valuable resource.

�Poetry Night at the Power Surge
Imani Rupert

PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Students gathered for a night of poetry on Tuesday,
December 1, at the Power Surge cafe. The night got off
to a late start, and was characterized at first by a definite
lack of people in attendance. But despite the late start,
the evening was definitely a night to remember.
In a matter of a half-hour, the room filled with friends.
At first people took turns reading poems from a book.
Then after a little persuading, Rodrick Frazier sung a
poem. He sang "Lift Every Voice and Sing" by James
Weldon Johnson and later sang another song. His beautiful voice picked up the mood of the night.
Then everything seemed to flow. Angela Oesterle
wrote an amazing poem right there in the coffee house,
and read it for the crowd. Elsa Mejia read Maya
Angelou's famous poem, And Still I Rise. Mbalaka
Monolobo recited a poem in Swahilli and translated the
title: My Twin. Nico Cusimano, a student at Palomar,
writes poetry and just happened to have some of his work
with him that night. Hie audience quickly responded to
the readings he presented. Most of the applause went to
Malika U. Bomani and Rodrick Frazier. They did an
impromptu "skit'' to Destiny Child's song, "Bug a boo."
Another Poetry Night is in the works. Contact
Mbalaka Monololo in the ASI office for information.
A Campus Without GUTS
Mike Spangler
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
The CSUSM Literary Society
does not have GUTS this semester.
The Literary Society does not even
have official recognition as a campus club by the Inter-Club Council
or Associated Students, Inc., said
Barbara Schiffler, one of the few
remaining members of what was
once the CSUSM Literary Society.
GUTS is the Literary Society's
Literary Magazine first published
October 1996. The society was
founded by Denise Lampman, with
the goal of publishing GUTS.
Lampman graduated last May and
the campus has been GUTS^less
since.
"We started in May of '99 with
about 15 people—then when we
were just about ready to print, the
people who were helping me faded
away/' said Schiffler. "The only people left were me and two other people—and all of us are grad students."
It is the lack of available bodies,
Schiffler said, that caused the
Literary Society to lose their charter.
When asked why the Literary
Society was no longer an officially
recognized club, Assistant Director
of Student and Residential Life
Gezai Berhane said, "The Literary
Society has not completed the
rechartering session for this year."
Berhane. said that the Society
failed to satisfy Responsibility 10
outlined in the CSUSM Student and
Residential Life Procedures for ReChartering Clubs and Organizations,
which states "Your club is required
to attend an Annual Student and
Residential Life and Associated
Students, Inc. training of
officers/advisors."
This semester' s mandatory
October 29 meeting's "topics included security, facilities use, liability
issues and financial management,"
The Pride reported in its November
8 issue. The same article also stated
"Calvin One Deer, Director of
Student and Residential Life,
lamented the precipitous decline in
the number of campus clubs in
recent years and expressed hope that
the falling-off of interest in campus
organizations would reverse itself."
Schiffler pleaded with students of
Professor Brandon Cesmat's
Creative Writing class tp get
involved and re-charter the Literary
Society in the Spring of 2000 so that
the more than fogy submissions can
be published with official university
recognition. Also, without active
undergraduates, the Literary Society
is in danger of fading into CSUSM
history, officially recognized or not.
Schiffler stressed GUTS isintended
as a publication "made completely
by students" with no advertising, but
stopped short of calling it an underground publication.
One Deer said recently that he
would like to see the Literary
Society re-chartered, and more clubs
formed, "There are a lot more ideas
out there that can involve students in
extra-curricular activities."
All of the guidelines and regulations for rechartering a club for the
current academic year, or starting a
new club on campus, are available in
convenient five- and eight-page
packets (respectively) from the
office of Student and Residential
Life in Craven Hall 4116.
One Deer urged clubs wishing to
be recognized, which also makes
them eligible for ICC funding, to
pick up a packet and start planning
for the spring semester now. He said
there will be another ICC meeting in
February 2000, like the one the
Literary Society missed, to educate
club representatives as part of the
chartering process.
"We want to promote leadership
among students while creating campus life," said One Deer.

Has anyone managed to watch Party of Five- s spin-off, Time of Your
Lifel
When Sarah Reeves (Jennifer Love Hewitt) left San Francisco in
search of her dad, the crew of Party of Five thought she would be returning in a week. However, Sarah decided to stay in New York to discover
who she is, without anyone taking care of her. Once on her own, the eternally innocent Sarah does some very unlike-Sarah things. So begins the
Time of Your Life.
There are six central characters on the show. Sarah's roommate, Romy
(Jennifer Garner- Felicity's competition for Noel first season) is an aspiring actress with the hots for J.B. (Diego Serrano), their neighbor who
works as a salon shampooist Cecilia (Pauley Perette) is a student at
NYU, and current superintendent at their building, not to mention a wild
girl.
Maguire is an ex-musician with a jaded view of how the music business works. He's pretty fond of Sarah, and she seems to be pretty fond of
him too. Joss (Gina Ravera) is a close friend of Maguire, and works with
Sarah as a waitress. Finally there is Sarah, who is trying to figure out
who she is, and wants to have a little fun in the process.
There is an obvious attraction between Sarah and the amazingly hot
Maguire, and now since Baliey has broken up with her, Sarah seems
eager to jump into the arms of this sweet-hearted musician. It took
Dawson and Joey an entire season, Mulder and Scully have yet to do it,
and it's anyone's guess when those two from Roswell will get together.
Romy and J.B. have a semi-romance going on. Romy has been staring
into J.B.'s window since she's been there, watching a stream of girls
trickle in and out of his apartment. They are dating now, but apparently
J.B. has a few girls in his past, one in particular that he is still sleeping
with. Joss is a sweet girl that won't let anyone tell her what to do. Her
stubbornness is bound to get her in trouble. She is more than willing to
help Sarah out though, whether she needs a job, or time off from that job.
Time of Your Life is a good show. It moves faster than other dramas,
and Sarah makes mistakes that you can only make when you're twenty,
and with her motley crew of friends, you're sure to like one of the characters. It's an above-average television drama, especially if you liked
Sarah from Party of Five.
Time of Your Life plays on Fox, Mondays at 8:00pm.

�Expanded Dial In Access Lines for

Adra Hallford
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
On Thursday, December 2,
1999, Computing and Telecommunications introduced EDIAL
(Expanded Dial In Access Line)
for CSUSM students who access
the Internet from their home
computers by dialing into the
campus modem pool. Every student on campus will still have
access to the free dialup access
lines, but now students who need
more than their allotted free
dialup access time for email,
web surfing, or academic
research, will have the option of
paying 30. dollars every six
months for EDIAL and more
time on the network. Students
accessing the campus network
using EDIAL will experience far
fewer busy signals than students
using the free access lines. The
Computing Department has set
the highest of goals for EDIAL;
they want students to have
affordable access to the campus
network with no busy signals.
Mike Irick, Computing and

the summer, Computing upgraded the modem racks and all dial
up services to support V90, 56k

newer Macintosh computers,
Windows 95 and Windows 98
computers, as well as Windows

which type of dialup account students choose, Computing and

College of Education Offers
Tlitoring Opportunities
By Katelynn Miller for The Pride
The College of Education currently offers two opportunities for
CSUSM students interested in becoming tutors for elementary and
high school students. The first program, America Reads, is an opportunity for CSUSM students to interact with elementary school children in the local community. This is a federally funded program that
the President initiated in response to poor reading scores in schools.
His vision was to pay college students (who qualify for federal aid) to
tutor young children in local schools who are struggling with reading.
Improving children's reading ability is a top priority now as
research has proven how vital reading ability is for successful learning. EDUC 406A (America Reads) is a class where CSUSM students
explore the reading process, learn about wonderful children's books
and discuss many literacy issues. Tutors decide their own hours for
tutoring, and they meet weekly in class to work together to provide
enriching experiences for children. Students who do not qualify for
financial aid may volunteer their services as America Reads tutors.
The second tutoring opportunity available is for working with high
school students in the program for Advancement Via Individual
Determination, or AVID. This is a college preparatory program for
high school students who might not have sought college as their goal
without the support of AVID. The AVID tutors work side by side
with students to improve their understanding of subjects such as
Biology, Spanish, English, Algebra, etc. Since a variety of students
work in each class, it isn't necessary for each tutor to be an "expert"
in all subject areas, and in fact the EDUC 407 class teaches tutors
how to facilitate groups across the subject areas.
Tutors are paid for tutoring from a State work-study grant that
CSUSM Financial Aid awards students, if eligible. For more information, contact Katelynn Miller at (760) 750-4328, or
lmiller@csusm.edu.

Professor Schustack is an
Associate Professor of
Psychology and has been on the
faculty of CSUSM since 1991.
She received her Ph.D. from
Carnegie-Mellon University
after graduating from Princeton
University and completing a
Master's Degree at Yale. Before
joining the faculty here, she was
at Harvard University holding a
research faculty position at
UCSD and later worked as a
research scientist for the U.S.
government. Doctor Schustack
is a cognitive psychologist with
research interests in skilled reading and the development of literacy, reasoning and problem
solving, language learning and
language use, and human-computer interaction. Her current
research focuses on how computer based recreational activities in an after-school setting can
improve children's academic
skills.
�Understanding the CSUSM Mission Statement
Sharon Hambly
PRIDE STAFF W RITER
If you pay very close attention, you can see one wherever
you go. It can be found in fast
food restaurants, donut shops,
government offices, and service
stations. It tells you the "who,
what and how" a business will
provide services to the customer.
For those of you who have not
guessed what it is—it's a mission
statement.
Our university currently has a
mission statement that was written in 1989 by the first CSUSM
President, Bill Stacy, and 12
founding faculty members. Terry
Allison, Assistant to President
Gonzalez, has been assigned to
lead the campus in an effort to
develop a revised campus mission and vision statement to
move the university into the new
millennium. A team consisting of
25 members including faculty,
staff administrators and two stu-
dents chosen by ASI, began this
long and difficult process in early
1999. Two consultants are leading the group, Mark Baldwin
from CSUSM College of
Education, and Bill Chiment,
from the Poway Unified School
District. Both men were chosen
because of their background and
experience in assisting other
schools and agencies in crafting
their values and mission, and
vision statements. Terry Allison
stated that President Gonzalez
believed a Revised Version
would enable the university
administrators and faculty to
establish strategic goals for the
future.
And what does all this mean to
you, the student? .Why should
the goals and the mission and
vision statements concern you?

�"Eggs for Sale"
The Egg Donor Process
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Evelyn Choroser
"Egg Donors Needed - $3,500
Compensation" caught the eye
even of those only browsing the
last few issues of The Pride. Is
the ad legitimate? Who placed it?
What's involved? These are a
few of the questions readers ask.
Four years ago, Susan
Hernandez developed an organization called The Procreative
Egg Donor Program where
young women between 21 and
30 are sought to provide viable
eggs for infertile couples. As
program director, Hernandez
operates out of Temecula and
works with doctors in San Diego.
When a woman responds to the
ad, Hernandez screens her to
determine if she meets the basic
requirements and her interest is
earnest. Passing this interview,
Hernandez forwards an application with an information packet
to the prospective donor and
requests the application be completed and returned with two
photos.
Based on the information provided on the application,
Hernandez begins her process of
matching the prospective donor
with a couple who has been
referred to her by a physician
specializing in infertility. The
couple's preferences are relayed
on a questionnaire completed
earlier. Once the couple chooses
a donor from the possible matches offered by Hernandez, contact
is re-established with the egg
provider to assure continued
interest in the program and that
her commitment is genuine.
Extensive psychological and
medical examinations occur to
verify that the candidate is in
excellent physical and mental
health.
Although she anticipated
maybe one or two donor/couple
matches a month when she began
the business, Hernandez now
coordinates about five. "I'm surprised that there are so many
people with fertility problems.
The experiences they've endured
by the time I'm in contact with
them are heart wrenching,"
Hernandez commented.
Laura Hopkins
According for the Center for
Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), approximately 6.1 million women suffer from infertility in the United States, and
approximately 15% of women of
childbearing age have received
an infertility service. Most cases
of infertility are treated conventionally by either medications or
surgery, but for those women are

Reproductive Technology (ART)
becomes a possibility for assisting them in becoming pregnant.
She believes she has great
empathy not only for the infertile
couples, but also for the egg

currently used to treat a variety
of infertility problems. It
involves the collection of eggs
and sperm from the couple or, in
the case of an infertile woman,
from an egg donor. The eggs and
sperm are placed together in a
laboratory dish to fertilize outside the bfrdy, or in-vitro. The
fertilized eggs are placed into the
woman's uterus several days
later, where implantation can
hopefully occur, just as in a normal pregnancy.
Egg Ethics- an Opinion
Laura Hopkins
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
The ethics of egg donations
are challenged as the bid for
beauty reaches $150,000 at
www.ronsangels.com, a website
dedicated to the sale of human
eggs. The beautiful blonde with
the striking blue eyes (Model 10)
has the highest bid of $150,000 at
Ron Harris' egg auction, while
the other five models hold their
own with bids ranging from
$30,000 to $90,000.
The commerce of beauty is
certainly not a new concept with
billions of dollars each year
being spent on the cosmetic
industry, but Harris crosses an
ambiguous line with his egg auction. He argues for the possibility
of producing "superior children"

For the egg donor, the process
usually begins with an extensive
psychological and physical
screening. Common testing
includes personality assessment
as well as blood tests that screen
the donor for diseases such as
HIV and hepatitis. The donor
undergoes a complete physical
exam, taking into account family
history, to insure optimal wellness. Tests are also performed to
rule out sexually transmitted diseases.
After the eggs are extracted',
they are fertilized in a laboratory
and either implanted into the
recipient or sometimes frozen, in
case the implantation doesn't

implanted two days later into the

�[THE]: UCSD Music Ensemble
Victoria B. Segall
PRIDE STAFF W RITER
A musical performance by
[THE] at noon on Monday may
have resulted in a few audience
members scratching their heads
trying to make sense of what
may be described as [THE]'s
"experimental," "avant-garde" or
"d'alba"—a mix of comedic and
musical theatre. [THE], formed
approximately in 1977, is composed of Dr. Edwin Harkins and
Philip Larson, music professors
at UCSD. Professors Edwin
Harkins and Philip Larson
worked together at the Center for
Music Experiment in UCSD in
the 70s and also worked in the
Extended Vocal Techniques
Ensemble. The professors continue to perform for musical
ensembles, like the SONOR
Program of UCSD, and have
toured worldwide from Canada,
to Europe, Japan and
Scandinavia. In addition, [THE]
has more than thirty works in
their repertoire, including music
with John Cage and Anthony
Braxton.
The November 29 performance in ACD 102 began with a
brief lecture by the professors on
musical devices and terms used
in their music. Their shows,
which usually last from one-anda-half to two hours, have included lasers and lights. As a result,
[THE] uses various methods of
communication during their performances. Some of the methods
included syllable exchange, the
"Esperanto language," and
another form of communication
where hats and shoes were
involved to signal specific
actions.
"It's very odd," said Harkins,
referring to their methods of
communication. For example
one of the forms of communication Harkins demonstrated was
ventriloquism. He also disengaged his voice from his word
formations. This action may be
best described as saying a word,
like "hello," without moving
your lips, but five seconds later
mouthing "hello." Harkins' ventriloquism and outgoing disposition resulted in a round of
applause and chuckles from the
audience. "You can have fun
with that kind of out of synchness," commented Harkins. The
duo described how their own
codes and language derive from
"the rhythm of mispronunciation.
After the brief lecture, [THE]
began their musical performance.
The first part consisted of the
duo putting together two tunes,
"Beautiful Dreamer" and
Gershwin's "I've Got Rhythm,"
to create a new piece of their
own. Perhaps the highlight of the
noon performance was when
[THE] performed "Body Parts."
The audience, individuals ranging from confused to engrossed,
had smiling faces, and burst into
laughter as the duo tapped different parts of their body, making
hand gestures, and grunts, sighs,
shouts, and other vocal noises to
a set rhythm. It may be surprising
to discover that this "music" had
a melody, even though their only
instruments were their bodies
and voices. "The sound is something that happens naturally,"
said Harkins.
The professors also told the
audience that they know what
their goals are and where they
are going when they compose
music, but they tell of how there
is also freedom.in their composition. They discussed how there is
a level of abstraction in their
music and that they come from
avant-garde music, but have also
headed in other directions.
[THE] mentioned that their performances bring up many questions from the audience and certain issues may arise that they
may choose to side with or n ot
Harkins and Larson also note
that [THE] is on the borderline of
comedy and tragedy.
At the end of [THE]'s performance, one of the questions
asked by the audience was what
first time viewers should expect
from a [THE] musical performance. Professor Harkins responded, "Something extremely
unusual, yet good." .

Jewel's Joy: A Holiday Collection
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
The soothing sounds of Jewel's voice make the holidays complete. I was pleasantly
surprised by her renditions of "O Holy Night" and "Ave Maria" where Jewel sings
operatically. In contrast, in her playful sounding "Joy to the World" and "Hark the
Herald Angels Sing" her childish voice takes away from the beauty of the music, I
love listening to "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "I Wonder as I Wander"

GEW-Opinion
By Penny Lanese
There is one fatal flaw with
the General Education
Requirement for Writing
(GEW) program that will ultimately cause the demise of the
California State University San
Marcos code for the writing
requirement and the very foundation that the mission statement stands upon. Even though
the Writing Center requirements may help students succeed in their written communication skills, the requirements
can also cause an otherwise
exceptional student to fail.
The majority of the students
entering the University from
high school do not have the
skill to write academic papers
at a college level curriculum.
The Writing Center is an excellent place for those students to
go and share their ideas with
trained tutors who enjoy literature and want to help. For the
most part, there is nothing

between the student, the course
and the Writing Center.

He turned his life around again

He was sober from 1990 to 1995.
The third guest was a young

as a caregiver at Fraternity House

Molly has a deep'understanding
for people afflicted with AIDS
since she lost a beloved brother
to the dreadful illness. She said
that both facilities provide care to
a variety of ages and race groups.
In 1990 he began dating a
young female from his AA support group. Just when he thought
that things were going great, his
girlfriend revealed to him that
she was HIV positive. It was a

HIV/AIDS support groups and
travels, lecturing youth about
AIDS awareness.
However, there are students
who fail the GEW requirement, not based upon their
level of academic writing
skills, but rather because of the
lack of attendance to the
Writing Center. Those students
who succeed in academic writing are punished for their talents.
On the other hand, the
University has a reputation and
academic integrity to uphold.
The weekly GEW class length
is only two and one-half hours
long and the one Writing
Center appointment completes
the weekly total of three hours
for "class time."
Completely removing the
Writing Center from the
requirement is a possible
"solution." However, those
who truly need the Writing
Center to improve their writing
will not willingly spend their
free time reviewing their
papers unless it were mandatory. Another "solution" is to
make visits to the Writing
Center a part of a lab section,
instead of an open-ended

The music, mostly in Latin, is sung in the tradition of the early
Roman Catholic Church. Gregorian chant originated during the era of
Pope Gregory I in the sixth century, and much of the original music
continues to this day. The program performed at CSUSM consisted of
two parts, the first derived from the traditional Latin mass and composed of "ordinaries," or hymns written in the style of the
Renaissance, which are sung at every mass. The second part of the
program was in celebration of the season of Advent, the four weeks
preceding Christmas. Chodos said that although the music stems from
a Christian tradition, "it speaks to everyone." He pointed out that the
group members come from three religious backgrounds: Catholicism,
Protestantism, and Judaism. "The music stands on its own outside of
the church setting," Chodos said.
« The lyrics have a profound and solemn nature that transcends the
noise and clutter of our everyday lives. Latin verse tends to have that
mysterious effect on those who don't know the language, but even
translated into English, the lyrics seem to be calling from a distant
plane. "Ask of me, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance
and the utmost parts of the earth as your possession," reads the translation of one of the chants.
^
Chodos spoke of the "body of mysticism" found in the Christian
church, with which many people are unfamiliar, and the reflection of
this music on that tradition. The Gregorian chant, Chodos said,
"speaks to everyone on a deep spiritual level." And it seemed to be
true. From the moment the members of Schola Pacifica filed onto the
stage, until they took their final bow, the audience was given a
glimpse of that mystic tradition, and the result was amazing.
On Campus With State Assemblyman Howard Kaloogian

PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Fifteen students gathered in
The Dome on Wednesday,
December 1, to hear State
Assemblyman
Howard
Kaloogian air his views on a
variety of subjects. Kaloogian,
who is also the Honorary
Chairman of the CSUSM chapter of the Young Americans for
Freedom, or YAF, addressed the
students at the invitation of the
College Republicans. He was
joined by State Assemblyman
Tony Strickland from Ventura.
Kaloogian stated that
"involvement in government is
down to an all time low" among
college students. He cited the
number of people attending his
address on campus as an indicator that college students are not
interested in politics. "There

money would be better spent on
private education. "For that
amount of money, you'd like to
have the kid be able to read his
diploma when he graduates,"
Kaloogian said.
Although Kaloogian advocates literacy, both he and
Strickland believe that funding
for libraries shouldn't come
from Sacramento. Funding
should come from local governments, Strickland said.
Apparently library funding will
become a dead issue because,
Kaloogian claims, "Libraries
will soon become obsolete
because of the Internet."
Kaloogian, who will be forced
out of his Assembly seat next
November because of term limits, represents the 74th district,
which stretchesfromCarlsbad to
Del Mar on the coast and east to
Escondido. He has endorsed fellow conservative Mason Weaver
as his successor, out of a large
pool of Republican hopefuls.
The 74th district is considered to
be one of the safest Republican
assembly seats in the state. "If
you win the Republican primary,
you can go to Sacramento and
look for a house," Weaver was
quoted as saying in the San
Diego Union Tribune.
One of Kaloogian's goals for
the remainder of his term is to
"convert Social Security into a
program that will be around for
you and me," he said, without
giving specific details. Asked
about his plans after leaving
office, Kaloogian replied that he
"hopes to be working in the
Bush administration."

CALI FORNICATION
A S EMESTER ABROAD
BY SUSANNE BERGSTEN
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
As an exchange student
from England, I did not know
what to expect coming to Cal
State San Marcos or the U.S.
in general. With that said, I
also have to mention that I
have had the time of my life.
The first thing I noticed
is that everything in the
U.S. is way bigger: the cars,
the roads, the malls, stores,
portions of f ood, etc. The
Mexican influence here can
be compared to the Indian
influence back home; we
have loads of Indian food
places while barely any
Mexican places whatsoever.
Cars here are just massive.
Trucks are not at all popular
back home, and having one
would just make it impossible
to find a parking spot as we
parallel p art a lot. I also realized the necessity of having a
car. Back home, public transportation is very good, so you
don't really need a car. Buses,
trains and subways are cheap
and well maintained. They
run regularly, not like the
sprinter which just runs twice
an hour. Here, you can barely
get to a grocery store without a car, while back home,
I 'd rather walk than drive.
Finding a parking spot would
be too much of a hassle.
When I first arrived, I
asked myself, why do I have
to buy books and live with
only girls? In England, I
barely ever needed %to buy
books for school as most
of the course books could
be found iii the library. The
teachers do not expect their
students to buy all the books.
Also, the double spacing
and sourcing is new to me.
We use the Harvard referencing system, not the MLA or
APA. One of my teachers told
me in the beginning of the semester, "Sweetie, your essay
is a bit long, about twice as
long as it has to be." I forgot to double space because
I 'm not used to it and wrote
seven regular pages instead
of seven double spaced!
The dorms here are very
different too, way more expensive and in England we
have co-ed rooms and RAs.
Upon arriving in California, I realized football isn't
soccer here. Sports in the U.S.
are different, as soccer, which
we call football, is essentially
the national sport in England.
American Football and baseball are much bigger, and we
don't even have those in England. .Surfing is also something that is barely possible
with the tiny waves and super
cold water in the British Isles.
The best difference though
is the weather. England is
cold and it rains a lot. (At the
moment i t's 30 or so Fahrenheit in England, so the last
thing I want to do is to go
back.) It is quite different
being able to go to school
in shorts and flip flops here
compared to rubber boots
and coats back in England.
I also like that there is always something to do here:
music festivals, concerts and
great nightlife. The funny
thing is that we can drink
when we are 18 back home
but also have to wait until
we are 18 to drive while here
you have to be 21 to drink but
can drive when you are 16.
Both movies and music
come out here way before
they do at home. I recently
heard that "G6" by Far
East Movement just started playing in clubs back
home, and I also noticed
I cannot buy certain songs
on iTunes here because
they have not been released back home yet and
my account is connected
to my English address.
When I came here, I
didn't think people actually played beerpong. Back
home we only see it as
something Americans do
in teenage movies, and we
never play it. That is something that I for sure will
take with me back home
and do with my friends.
I think my exposure to
all things American has
changed me a lot, and I
will truly miss SoCal. I 've
had the time of my life,
and going on exchange is
the best decision I 've ever
made. I would encourage
anyone to go, as travelling and meeting new
people is just awesome.

Over the last seven years, I

athletics take up a good
amount of space. Maybe the
administration has finally real-
ized that they do not need to
cram Cesar Chavez quotes and
statues down our throats to unify
us. Maybe they have finally realized that athletics are the glue
that hold campus pride together
and help new people get stuck in.
What are you going to remember about being a student
at CSUSM when you graduate?
My challenge to you is to
take some time out of your hectic schedule to go out and support the students that give their
hearts to representing CSUSM
week in and week out. Maybe
you might just replace those
memories of walking up and
down stairs with having some fun
at a game. You might even find

HIV a wareness and progress greatest gift
ONE petitions to e radicate HIV t ransmission by 2 015
BY DANNY CASTRO
CONTRIBUTOR
We humans tend to try to find
differences between each other
and end up segregating based on
trivial differences. This holiday
season, I decided to see what
kind of differences there are in
the desires of people that are
"different" from one another by
asking them what they want for
Christmas. Granted, my sample is very small, but perhaps
something can be illustrated.
Politics and religion have
proven to be wonderful tools for
discrimination. I 'm aware that
there are more viewpoints than I
am listing and of the increasing
trend against the pigeonholing of
people, but I went with the obvious and went ahead and classified. I asked a conservative what
he wanted for Christmas: Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac. What
do you want for Christmas, my
liberal friend? Well, my liberal
friend told me she wanted me,
which is probably not so typical
of a liberal. Good luck with that.
I searched for atheists to see
what their Christmas wishes
were, but alas, they are hard to
find these days. I made do with
an agnostic and a Christian. I
thought for a second that maybe
my agnostic friend would tell me
that he didn't know what he wanted for Christmas, but instead he
told me he didn't want anything.
I thought that was what the atheist wanted. And for you, Christian friend, what would you like
f or Jesus's birthday? She wants
gift certificates to go shopping.
I expected more for such an important day. My Jewish friend
told me I was silly for asking
him what he wants for Christmas.
What do a Caucasian, an African American, a Latino, and
a couple of Asian girls have in
common? I don't know, but I
asked them what they want for
Christmas.
My white friend
wants a Hello Kitty bowling ball.
My black friend wants shoes.
My brown friend wants a pedal
board, and my Asian girlfriends
want a car and a surprise, respectively. I guess I do know what
those people have in common after all: they literally have wishes.
Finally, I asked a homosexual
person and a heterosexual person
what they want for Christmas.
, They both said they want sex. I
hope they enjoy safely. According to USAid.gov, it is estimated
that 5,500 people die every day
from AIDS, one third of which
are living in sub-Saharan Africa.
None of us were given the choice
to be born in the circumstances we
were born in—we could have just
as well been born into extreme
poverty. We should put ourselves
in their shoes, and most of them
probably don't even have shoes.
We humans are not so different
from one another after all. The
trivial differences in the kinds of
gifts we want illustrate the trivial
differences we invent to segregate ourselves. We are all human.
It wasn't my intention to
make it seem as if my friends
and their Christmas wishes are
representative of the groups
they identify with—obviously, that isn't the case. I 'll tell
you this though, and the birthday boy said it best: "it is more
blessed to give than to receive."
This holiday season, in the
spirit of giving, you should consider giving your voice to help
those who need it most. 31,000
babies will get HIV in December for Christmas because thenmothers have HIV. We now
have the medicine and treatment
to prevent HIV from spreading
from mother to child. By giving
your voice, you can help get this
treatment to those that need it.
Please visit one.org (www.one.
org/us/actnow/globalfund2010/)
to sign the petition for No
Child Born with HIV By 2015.
The ONE Campaign is made \
up of over two million Americans who have put their voices
together as ONE to keep our
leaders accountable when they
make promises to help the poorest people in the planet. ONE
petitions have raised awareness,
and our voices are being heard.
In 2008, 50,000 ONE members
petitioned
Secretary-General
Ban Ki-moon to respond to the
food crisis in developing countries and helped keep the crisis
on the 2008 New York UN Summit agenda. As a result, world
leaders pledged to commit $1.6
billion to fill in the funding gap.
Join Bono and company in
making your voice heard to keep
our government accountable to
its promises by making this a
world where children being born
with HIV is a thing of the past by *
2015. As different as we make
ourselves out to be, if President
George W. Bush and President
Barack Obama can agree on this
issue, I think everyone can too.
The U.S. and all 192 United
Nations member states have already agreed to achieve the Millennium Development Goals by
2015 (goals include eradicating
extreme poverty, reducing child
mortality rates, and fighting disease epidemics such as AIDS).
Our voices serve as a reminder
to our leaders that we care about
those issues, that we put ourselves
in the shoes of the poorest people
who cannot even afford shoes,
that we know any one of us could
have been born into such circumstances and that we wouldn't
want that for anyone, and, finally, that we do not think getting
HIV for Christmas is ever OK.

�POST HOLIDAY BLUES
BY REBEKAH GREEN
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
The holiday break is a time
to celebrate. People, for all
sorts of reasons, express excitement over holiday traditions,
family gatherings, or excitement over the Winter Break.
For many though, the holidays
arrive with an unwelcome guest:
the holiday blues. These blues
seem like an issue easily remedied, but in many cases, it can lead
to much more serious problems.
The stress of holiday shopping,
a whirlwind of family gatherings
and the inability to visit family
and can be a couple of factors
that accumulate to holiday blues.
Particularly with students, the
stress of dealing with the end of
the semester added to these issues
can easily contribute to the blues.
A good source to seek for
help f or the holiday blues is the
Student Health & Counseling
Services, which provides counseling and medical services to
students, located across from
campus along Craven Road.
According to The National
Mental Health Association, some
effects of the holiday blues include over-eating, drinking,
sleeping problems and other issues that can cause bodily and
emotional discomfort. A large
amount of those afflicted with
holiday blues experience it following the new year. Psychology Today lists a few ways to
lessen the blues this season including making sure not to set
too busy a schedule especially
in the already hectic times of the
winter season, and remembering that holidays always change
each year, and nothing will stay
the same, therefore try to accommodate new plans/activities
f or the winter bjeak each year.
There are plenty of ways to
get involved during the holidays too: charity events, local
Christmas events, and many
forms of community service.

It states that

during

A survey of classes that promote social awareness and life enjoyment
BY ASHLEY DAY
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Many students are leaving
CSUSM soon, but have not fulfilled all their graduation requirements. Before they step into
the "real" world, here are some
classes that stimulate the mind
and propel them toward graduation day. Each class is followed,
in parentheses, by the undergraduate requirement it fulfills.
Philosophy 110: Critical Thinking (A3)
Philosophy 110 explores approaches to nature and logic as
well as rational arguments and
fallacies used in everyday conversations. This class makes one
think about different ways people
argue and how they cannot really support their arguments.
GES 105: Intro to Physical Science ( Bl)
Let's face it; Many of us are sci- race through the generations.
entifically challenged. GES 105 This course is available to fulis a general science class intended fill a humanities requirement.
for people that are not too "sci- Women's studies courses are
ence savvy." This class provides great for students looking to
a conceptual viewpoint to differ- embrace the way women have
ent aspects of physical science. developed modern day society.
FMST 100: Intro to Cinema ( CI)
Intro to Cinema is a fine art
requirement class. It is one of
the eleven class options CSUSM
offers in fine arts. The class explores the four elements of cinema: categories, structures, theories and production of cinema.
This is a class for film junkies
and people interested in learning about the world of movies.
WMST 205: Gender & Identity
in Pop Culture and the Media
(C2)
This women's studies class
surveys the way pop culture
and the media have shaped
gender roles, sexuality and
ECON 202: Principles of Macroeconomics (D)
Economics courses are not
only for business majors. We live
in a capitalist country, so to make it
in society, you need to understand
the relationship between the U.S.
economy and the world. Principles of Macroeconomics may
not be everyone's "cup of tea,"
but this class will help you learn
about gross domestic products
(GDP), inflation, unemployment,
monetary policies and deficits.
ASTR 342: Elements of Astronomy (BB Math or Science)
Elements of Astronomy counts
as an upper division math or sci-
ence graduation requirement. The
course examines human knowledge of the solar systems, galaxies,
and their relationships to Earth.
ANTH 380: Current Archaeology (DD Social Science)
This anthropology course
delves into one anthropological subdivision: archaeology.
Elements of Current Archaeology explores local archaeological sites and indigenous culture. This class piques the
interest of people who would
like to connect modern society
with our biological ancestors.
PSYC 330: Developmental
Psychology: Infant/Child (DD
Social Science)
Most students may one day
have children. It would be a
great idea to start learning about
children now. This upper division psychology class explores
the aspects of physical and emo-
tional development of a child
from conception to early life.
HIST 347: California History
( DGGov)
This history course provides an
in depth look at different periods
in the history of the Golden State.
This includes periods of Spanish,
Mexican and U.S. governance.
The course also covers each government's relationship with the
original inhabitants of this land.
TA 301: Intro to Acting
This is a three-unit course that
may be repeated for up to nine
units. Intro to Acting is a small
class that allows the student to
practice basic acting techniques
and bring out their inner "drama
king/queen." During the semester, the student has to prepare their
own monologue and scene to perform in front of the class. This is a
course for those of us who always
dreamed of being in the spotlight .

TO COMMUTE OR NOT TO COMMUTE?
I A M A STUDENT A ND A COMMUTER
BY DEVONNE EDORA
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Students recognize CSUSM
a
commuter
school.
Our school's on-campus housing at the University Village
Apartments (UVA) is only able to
accommodate a total of about 500600 students, from a total student
body of about 9,142. Obviously, a
great number of students end up
having to commute to campus almost everyday. Luckily, students
live in a wide variety of off-campus housing. Living in San Marcos isn't always the best financial
choice for a student. So, commuting to school i s the way to go.
Others may believe that commuting is hard for a variety of
reasons. I d on't think it takes anything away from being a college
student. I got the chance to talk
with two commuters and asked
them what they thought about
CSUSM's commuter campus. I
spoke with Lia Alvarez, a sophomore who commutes from Fallbrook Monday through Thursday.
Alvarez's schedule getting to
school consists of waking up at
5 a.m. dropping off her daughter by 6, and trying to make the
train that will transfer her to the
Sprinter arriving at CSUSM. I
as
asked her why she didn't opt to
drive to school. She replied, "I
could drive [to CSUSM] and it
would take me about an hour, but
I don't like driving." Especially
if her husband isn't on deployment, Alvarez's only option is
to take the train/Sprinter route
to get to school. Downsides to
commuting are that she has to
be on schedule with everything.
"If you miss the 306, you have
to wait a long time [for the next]
to come and you're going to be
late," Alvarez said. Students can
take the Breeze bus, but it only
comes twice every hour, compelling students to travel on foot to
reach campus. While to some,
this commute may seem tedious,
a good amount of students do
take the Sprinter to school. Alvarez said that she sees a "lot of
students from Palomar and Mira
Costa, around 10-15 students, and
about 25 students from CSUSM."
Jilliane Douglas, .currently a
junior, also commutes. She had
previously lived on campus.
Driving from San Diego twice a
week, Douglas describes some of
her experiences switching from
San Marcos living to commuting. "[Commuting] makes me go
to school more, because I have to
make that conscious decision to
go class. If I don't go to my first
class, it's probably likely I won't
go to my next one." Douglas
also commented that commuting
to school hasn't affected her involvement on campus. In actuality, she believes that it has done
the opposite. "Honestly; I 'm more
involved with the campus. I 'm
going to participate in the Triathlon through the Clarke, and I 'm
interested in joining a sorority,"
Douglas said. "Living on campus—I took it for granted. I felt
living on campus was the same
feeling of being on campus."
In comparison to other colleges, this amount of commuting to school appears to be going against what it is to "go to
college." Making the drive everyday and being far away from
campus events can make it seem
like you're not getting the a
complete "college experience."
Commuting instills a type of discipline that is taken for granted
when students live on campus.
Interestingly, no one mentioned the perks of living off
campus, such as not having to
share a bedroom or bathroom
with anyone, doing laundry without quarters, and no one telling
you to be quiet after 10 p.m. Tedious or not, commuting can still
work. Whoever says otherwise
doesn't dictate what is and should
be your college experience.

Those who think the day after Christmas is the worst day of the year are seriously overlooking New Year's Day. If
the mess of streamers, confetti, and champagne spills on the carpet isn't daunting
enough, add the fact that you're probably hungover from last night's party and
to top it all o ff, you have to start keeping
your New Year's resolutions! Well, don't
just pull the covers back over your head
and swear you'll wake up in time for dinner. The Cookin' Cougar has the perfect
wake-up recipe to help restore you to your
fully functioning self. Don't let the first
day of the year slip by you—drag yourself into the kitchen and let's get cooking!
Many people believe in the "salt, grease,

be a proven science, but it's a great excuse
to eat a "heart-stopping" breakfast! This

the Hispanic culture. Chilaquiles Verdes
is a popular breakfast dish from Mexico
that many hail as a remedy for headaches
and queasy stomachs. The tortilla chips
take care of the "salt" requirement, the
cheese serves as the "grease," <md the

�M YSTERIOUS CAMPUS S PORTS ARENA
WHEN WILL THE NEW FACILITY OPEN I TS DOORS?

spent forty days
waiting f or the world to
stop raining. But at least he
knew it would be forty days.
Our baseball and softball
teams are getting their own
home on campus, but it looks
like the agonizing cycle of waiting begins when the date of
its arrival remains a mystery.
Cougar sports fans are used
to being spectators away f rom
school. The baseball and softball teams have spent their first
few seasons playing at off-campus sites, like San Marcos High
school. The women's softball
field opened in time f or spring
2010 and the baseball team will
open competition on their home
field in 2011. Meanwhile, the
multipurpose arena f or basketball and volleyball will open
at a date more mysterious,
than an Agatha Christie novel.
The man who might hold
the answer, CSUSM Athletic
Director Tom Seitz, was unavailable f or comment by the
time The Pride went to print.
In an interview with the
North County Times in January
of this year, Seitz prophesized
some things but also came off
vague on the indoor arena, which
the article explained construction will begin in 2010-11. In
the interview, Seitz talked about

with a women's volleyball team.
In April, students voted in
favor of a $60 tuition increase
devoted to athletic fees over
the next two years in efforts to
welcome the new sports. Now,
those squads have coaches and
scheduled
games.
Strange-
for the whole enchilada at an estimated $50 million. Seitz said,
"We d on't have time to wait f or
that much to be raised...getting
the softball field done will show
people that we are moving forward and are able to complete
projects and get things done."

a year or two." And m en's basketball coach, Jim Saia, offered the
most curious testimony of all:
"Hopefully, i t's a matter of when,
and not i f, the arena comes."
In an email, Public Information
Director f or CSUSM, Margaret
Lutz said that "[a]n arena would
be a terrific addition to our campus and we are currently exploring the possibilities of building
one. However, there are no formal
plans nor a concrete timeline currently in place f or construction."
Could it be that the new home
of basketball and volleyball
might still be in doubt? According to Tom Seitz, i t's unlikely.
Since taking over as athletic director in July 2009, he has sent
the already thriving athletic program into overdrive. An affiliate
minor league baseball club of the
San Diego Padres had been considering C SUSM's baseball home
as a possible stadium, but after
the team stalled, Seitz helped
make the decision go forward
with a much needed field f or the
Cougars. San Marcos sports seem
destined to soon compete at the
NCAA Division II level. The
softball field is a successful operation. The new basketball and
volleyball teams are in motion—
they j ust d on't have a home.
How long will it be before they do? N o one seems
to know, and it will undoubtedly be more than forty days.
But the Cougar arena seems
unlikely to end u p underwater.

�T EXTING NIGHTMARES
AUTO C ORRECT C ORRECTING C ORRECTIONS
BY FAITH ORCINO
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
To every problem, there is a
solution. Sadly, however, sometimes these solutions end up creating more trouble. For example,
AutoCorrect settings in text messages sometimes d o more harm
than good. Depending on the
phone and service, this program
goes by many names. For example, my phone is a Sanyo 2700
from Sprint. There is a setting in
the messages section called "Predictive Text." This setting allows
certain phrases to pop up to select
while typing a word it recognizes.
During a conversation, I tried to
say, "Hey, I am at a meeting,"
but instead my phone sent, "Hey,
I am at a meet me at." Luckily,
I turned off the predictive text
after finding the setting menu.
Roberto Barragan,* a third
year Mass Media major, also
ran into some AutoCorrect problems with his Droid phone. He
texted, "Do you wanna hang
pants tonight?" when he wanted to say, "Do you wanna hang
out?" It at first seems like a
funny situation, but it is a growing hassle for cell phone owners.
In the early years of the cell
phone, before touch screens and
full keyboards, the program for
the basic 9-key keypad was Nuance's T9. According to Nuance,
users gain features like Next Word
Prediction, Enhanced Word Completion, and "One Key Press per
Letter." Now many in this technologically advancing age own
iPhones, Droids, and other new
products where a full keyboard
is available. The software, now
mainly called AutoCorrect, works
LEFT: Texters poke
fun at the oddly corrected message sent
through an Apple
iPhone.
t what r u doing j
like the spell check on Microsoft
Word. Type out your message and
any "mistakes" found, the program fixes with its preset solution
list of words. Now, as people and
the world change, so do the languages. Some people create new
slang terms for many expressions,
and \fchen they input the terms
into the phone, the device registers the so-called error as a misspelling for another word. Sadly,
there are those moments when we
hit the send button before realizing the original message changed.
This problem has solutions.

�NEW YEAR'S CELEBRATIONS
BY SUSANNE BERGSTEN
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Most people like New Year's
celebrations and it is something
that is celebrated all over the
world. Champagne, fireworks,
good food in the company of
friends and family seems to be a
winning concept wherever you go.
In Paris, wishing people
"Bonne année" and exchanging
"bisous," kisses, comes with the
New Year celebrations. People
flock at the famous street ChampsÉlysées with champagne in
hand to celebrate and watch fireworks blast off around the Eiffel
Tower at the stroke of midnight.
In London; the Brits get their
drink on for New Year's, and
people traditionally gather at
Trafalgar Square in central London for the countdown to midnight. The ultimate firework show
goes off from South Bank next
to the big Ferris wheel The London Eye when Big Ben chimes at
midnight. Tube rides are free in
London on New Years and so going from a house party to South
Bank to see the fireworks should
not be too much of a problem.
The Italians; in Rome traditionally gather at Piazza del Popolo
to celebrate New Yçar's Eye with
live music, dancing and fireworks that starts at 11 p.m. and
continues throughout the night.
In Sydney, more than 1.5 million people gather at the Sydney
Harbor to welcome the new year.
Firework shows start at 9 p jn.,
but at midnight the whole opera
house is lit up by the many fireworks blasting off in the night sky.
A crazier New Year's Eve party than the one at the Thai island
of Koh Phangan is hard to find.
50,000 people from all over the
world gather at the Haad Rin beach
to dance the night away with buckets of drinks instead of glasses,
fire dancers, loud music and lots
of fireworks. The crowd is young
and people celebrate until the tide
comes in and the sun comes up.
The New Year's Celebration is
one of the biggest events in Rio de
Janeiro. More than 2 million people gather at Copacabana beach
where the festivities start at 8 p.m.
with live music. The firework
show starts at midnight, and they
are fired from boats offshore so
all the spectators are safe and can
see them light up the sky and the
ocean. It is also tradition to wear
white clothes and to bring flower
to throw into the water at midnight.
Kuala Lumpur, the Muslim
capital of Malaysia offers a massive New Year's Celebration with
streets so crowded it is hard to
get anywhere. Most restaurants,
bars and shops are open and the
best festivities are in the many
bars that offer live music and activities. The streets and shops are
covered in light and at midnight,
a large firework show goes off in
front of the Petrona Twin Towers.
In Hong Kong both Dec. 31 and
the Chinese New Year are two big
festivities to be celebrated. The
latter is wider celebrated than our
New Year, though. People gather
in "Times Square," or the Victo-.
ria Harbor, for the countdown.
From the Harbor large firework
shows can be seen with the many
skyscrapers in the background.
South Africa's Cape Town offers large festivities, though they
celebrate New Year on Jan. 1.
The locals look forward to the
New Year's celebrations weeks
ahead and the celebrations are
ushered with ringing church bells
and gunshots. Houses, shops5 and
all public places are covered in
gorgeous decorations. Tourists
and locals flock at the Victoria
and Alfred Waterfront were the
largest festivities in the country take place and people dance
the night away with fireworks
blasting throughout the night.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2010
came and went, and now the shopping
madness left many discount shelves empty.
In order to fix those last minute jams,
several places and methods can help you.
Re-gifting is an inexpensive way to put
the useless into use. People gave some
presents out of good cheer, but sadly, you
could not use in your lifestyle. Instead
of letting them gather dust in storage,
simply wrap the items up for ones you
know may need them. It is a green solution where you save time, money, space
and probably some trees along the way.
On the subject of saving money, thrift
stores are also cheap solutions for gifts.
A donated necklace or fishing rod might
be what you have been looking for.
The Goodwill in San Diego, there are
15 locations to purchase and donate items.
Several other non-profit groups have their
own thrift stores in the area. Not only can
you find gifts, but also you help some of
the unfortunate residents in the county.
When it is a challenge to find an exact
present for someone, buying a gift card is
an easy option. It allows the receiver to
buy what they want with the money that
is in the card within the designated store.
Many stores, including some grocery and
online ones provide gift cards for shoppers. Places like Ralphs, Vons, Albertsons
and Wal-Mart carry a wide variety of gift
cards. Just stop by to check out the choices.
If you do not have time to buy a gift
card, checks and cash are good backups. It is might be better just to let
gift recipients choose what they want.
For those who will be hosting parties and/or fixing up the place for the
holiday, affordable decorations are available.
Dollar Tree, a money-saving
branch of stores, has 12 locations within
a 25-mile radius of San Marcos where
most of the stock is only a dollar each.
They also deliver bulk orders f rom their
website to those 12 locations, if requested.
You can use any of the given options not
only work for the holiday seasons, but
also for any celebration like birthdays, anniversaries, parties and other festivities.

"Inception" (PG13)
Christopher Nolan's borderline genius film that delves into the way a human mind functions while deep in sleep is finally released on DVD and Blu-ray today. The film follows
a group of dream extractors, led by Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio), as they take on a life-altering heist that mvolves planting an idea in someone's mind. Offered his only chance of
redemption, Cobb risks his own sanity and grasp on reality to succeed in pulling off the
perfect inception. Nolan artfully skews reality with the unconscious landscape, causing
you to question everything that you think you know. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio,
Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Cillian Murphy, Ken Watanabe,
Tom Hardy, and Michael Cain.
"Shrek Forever After" (PG)
Shrek is back in the fourth, and final, film of the Shrek franchise. Bored with domestic life, Shrek (Mike Myers) longs for
the days when he was a feared ogre. After he is coerced into signing a deal with Rumpelstiltskin, Shrek is thrown into an
alternate reality where Rumpelstiltskin is King, ogres are hunted, Far Far Away is a shell of what it once was, and where he
had never met Fiona (Cameron Diaz), Donkey (Eddie Murphy), or Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas). "Shrek Forever After" fails to match the comedic gold of the first two Shrek films but it succeeds in surpassing the third, continuing to show
an evolution in Shrek's character. While funny, "Shrek Forever After" relies a little too heavily on pop culture references
and songs for all of the comedic relief. New to the franchise are actors such as John Hamm and Jane Lynch.
"Boy Meets World: The Complete Fourth Season" (NR)
Want to relive your childhood? The fourth season of "Boy Meets World" is the perfect answer to the nostalgia you may be
feeling now that finals creeping closer. The show follows Cory Matthews (Ben Savage) and the life lessons he learns while
growing from a young boy to a grown adult, orchestrating college life and marriage. With his best friend, Shawn (Rider
Strong), his older brother Eric (Will Friedle), his childhood sweetheart and future wife, Topanga (Danielle Fishel), and
his mentor, Mr. Feeney (William Daniels), Cory slowly learns how to be an adult without losing the playful innocence of
childhood.

BLACKSW\N
BY MILA PANTOVICH
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
When it comes to Darren Aronofsky ("The Wrestler;' "Requiem for a Dream," and "Pi") ,
regardless of the genre, you know exactly what sort of film you'll be walking into; it will
be intelligent, passionate, brutal, beautiful, and raw. With each film, Aronofsky continues
** to deliver, and "Black Swan" only further ups the ante. Within the competitive and physically abusive world ofprofessional ballet, Aronofsky poses a constructed reality that just
may be more truthful than that which is considered real outside of the frame. Channeling
Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis," the psychologically disturbing "Black Swan" will
leave you stunned, stuttering out pieced together fragments of your shattered thoughts.
Nina (Natalie Portman) is a dedicated and poised dancer with the New York City
Ballet Company who pushes her body and her mind to the limit to be her best. Delicate and childlike, Nina is a perfectionist who still lives with her overbearing mother
(Barbara Hershey), while frozen in a ten year old's bedroom. After Thomas (Vincent
Cassel), the company director, forces the company's star (Winona Ryder) into retirement, a new star is needed to play the dual role of the Swan Queen for the new
" .. inteCCigenty
passionate, BrutaC,
Beautiful ancCraw. "
season's opening performance of Swan Lake. It's immediately apparent that Nina
completely embodies the White Swan, the epitome of virginal innocence, but she is unable to bring the seductive Black Swan out from within. With the role in her hands,
** Nina is pushed to her limits when the relaxed and sexually vibrant Lily (Mila Kunis) arrives. With Thomas's urging her to awaken the passion he knows is within and
with Lily as a reflection of everything she cannot be, Nina quickly finds herself losing grip on her rapidly fragmenting reality as she pursues the perfect performance.
Set in the world of professional ballet, "Black Swan" can easily be seen as a companion film to Aronofsky's 2008 "The Wrestler." Both films show how far pro-
fessional athletes will push themselves, forcing their bodies and minds to take on
abuses that can physically and mentally cripple them in an instant. Whereas "The
Wrestler" approaches the theme through the use of a hardened and aged man, showing the deep vulnerability within, "Black Swan" centers on an incredibly delicate and
timid young woman who is internally deeply disturbed and twisted. Every choice
made by Aronofsky, the excruciating emphasis put on bloody toe nails and the straining corded muscles of Nina's feet as she stands en pointe f or hours on end, violently
and delicately propels forward the story of a ballet dancer on the brink of darkness.
After strenuously training for a year and losing twenty pounds, Natalie Portman completely transforms herself into Nina, obliterating any doubt as to her unending talent. Completely perfecting the dual nature of the Swan Queen, she blurs the lines between the timid
beauty of the White Queen with the underlying darkness of the Black Queen lurking beneath.
With Nina's rapidly fracturing mental state, her perception of reality can never be completely trusted, making Portman's Nina delicately terrifying; the perfect unreliable narrator.
While Portman's performance absolutely stuns, leaving you breathless with its intensity, the rest of the cast never dares to solely rely on Portman's performance. Winona Ryder
is wonderful as the aged ballerina who is pushed from the spotlight, terrified of her limitations and living with the unending crippling fear of aging. As the seductively sleazy director,
Vincent Cassel shines. He pushes and prods Nina, his actions methodical and always with
purpose, until she has no other response but to mentally crack. Mila Kunis, in a role completely differentfromthose in her past, slides within thefilmseamlessly. She plays Lily with
a free-spirit that is questionable in its intentions, reflecting all that Nina needs to bring out
from within herself. Out of the excellent supporting cast, Barbara Hershey is spectacular as
Nina's mother. She manages to effortlessly play the role of a domineering mother seen th-
rough Nina's cracked perception, subtly layering her character. You have no idea what to
believe and in this sense, "Black Swan" completely blurs the lines between reality and its
false perceptions, to the point where the mere concept of reality fails to hold any merit.
"Black Swan" is as close to perfection as a film can get. Every single decision is
thoughtful and nothing is wasted, building up psychological terror to culminate in
the inevitable ending. The camerawork is frenetic and claustrophobic, framing countless fast-paced close-ups that place you within the fractured reality of Nina's life. You
are never allowed to take a step back from the unending pain that is threaded within
the film's fabric. The score emphasizes the slightest sound, magnifying it to a degree that suffocates you. Nina's labored breathing, the unbearable feeling of her nails
scratching along her skin, it all works to lock you within the frame and stutter your
own casual breathing. Aronofsky expertly uses as many reflective surfaces as he
can and films Portman through these surfaces more often than not, portraying Nina
more as a reflection than a person, highlighting her rapidly splintering personality.
While "Black Swan!' may not be a horror film in the conventional sense, portions of
the film will disturb you in ways that a slasher film never could. D on't dare let a film set
in the world of ballet turn you off because "Black Swan" is deeply and psychologically
terrifying and will easily go down in film history as a rare and perfect achievement.
Beautifully framed and emotionally tense, the film is layered so expertly that it is rigid
in form but loose in content. Working as a modern adaptation of "Swan Lake" itself,
Aronofsky manages to create many self-reflective layers within "Black Swan." The film
itself even works as a reflection of the layered Swan Queen; "Black Swan" is a controlled beauty that is wildly dangerous, incredibly free and terrifyingly seductive beneath.

St. Valentine's Day is more
than cards and flowers
BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
Every year around
February 14, there
is a rise in the purchase of lacy cards,
fancy jewelry, overpriced flowers, and
heart shaped candy.
Over the years, society lost the roots of this day,
commonly referred to as "Valentine's Day."
First off, the day is not just
called "Valentine's Day." Valentine is not a term of endearment. It is a name. Valentine
lived in the third century and
was a bishop in Rome. Many
Christian faiths recognize Valentine as a martyr and a saint.
The Roman Catholic Church
celebrates his life on February
14th, thus the day is properly
titled, Saint Valentine's Day.
Due to the contributions of S t Valentine,
the day became synonymous with romantic
endeavors. Understanding the life of Saint Valentine makes the day
much more romantic.
Valentine lived in the
day« of ancient Rome
where he worked as a
priest. In secret, he presided over marriages
of Christian couples,
saving them from persecution. By helping these
'criminals' of the state,
and for not renouncing
his faith, St. Valentine
was tortured and
beheaded.
February 14th is
a day to honor St.
Valentine's work, by
doing special deeds
for one's sweetheart
or beloved. It can
also be a day one
finds a person to
court. It is not a day
for consumerism. St. Valentine's
Days is not a corporate holiday.
The story of St. Valentine is true,
as evidenced by the finding of his
tomb.
Gifts are nice things, but the
intention of the present should
have some meaning. One should
keep in mind why the day is special and where the origin lies. It
is not a say for hooking up or one
night stands. It is a day about true
and undying love, in honor of a
man who served the world though
his commitment to love.

A merican Heart Month
BY CHRIS SHAW
Pride Staff Writer
February serves as a special
month that honors black history
and Valentine's Day. But while
black history and Valentine's
Day may receive the spotlight of
public attention, February is also
American Heart Month. As health
remains a great concern for a large
percentage of Americans, American Heart month acts as a more
pivotal component ofpublic health
awareness. American Heart month
provides every United States
citizen the reminder that health
knowledge will improve the overall quality of life and potentially
save lives in the process.
Each year Congress requires
the president to declare February
as American Heart Month. Volunteers for the American Heart
Association devote their time to
spread information about cardiovascular diseases in American
Heart Month. These volunteers
help to raise funds for research
and provide extensive information
about various heart conditions and
heart diseases. The annual proclamation of American Heart Month
has been performed since 1963.
The American Heart Association
communicates with the presidential "administration in order to
draft and sign the annual proclamation."
According to the American
Heart Association, cardiovascular diseases are the "nation's No.
1 killer." Coronary heart disease
is the leading cause of death in the
United States. Stroke is the third
leading cause of death and serious
disability in the United States as
well. As heart disease remains
the leading cause of death in the
United States, American Heart
Month serves as a significant part
of health awareness in the United
States.
A variety of factors contribute
to the source of heart disease or
stroke. Factors include obesity,
smoking, unhealthy nutritional
habits, lack of physical exercise,
and other factors such as hereditary conditions. While these factors can be treated on an individual level, US citizens can make a
difference in health awareness by
contacting the nation's policymakers and representatives. The proclamation of the American Heart
Month shows the effectiveness of
public interaction with our government. Supporters of American Heart Month raise funds that
improve public healthcare programs. Legislators support public
health by funding healthcare programs, medical research, increasing smoke-free workplaces, and
advocating for physical education
and better nutrition
in schools.
The American
Cancer Society
and the American Heart Association experienced a recent success when president Barack Obama increased
the federal cigarette tax to over $1
per pack. This new tobacco law
will become a measure that will
heavily decrease smoking rates.
The American Heart Association
supports tobacco control initiatives in order to promote healthy
lifestyles. While this law will
decrease the rate of smoking, the
American Cancer Society and the
American Heart Association continue to encourage public action.
The cure for heart disease
remains in the hands of the public.
Therefore the public must individually and collectively take measures to ensure healthy living. In
the event ofa heart attack or stroke,
an individual should call 911 for
an emergency response. A person
should be cautionary if he or she
experiences chest discomfort,
discomfort in other areas of the
upper body, shortness of breath,
or breaking out in cold sweat/
nausea. The most common heart
attack symptom is chest pain, but
women are somewhat more likely
than men to experience some of
the other common symptoms.
Heart attack or not, somebody
who experiences any of these
symptoms is encouraged to tell
a doctor. For more information

Jam Control So you think you can dance?
BY KEVIN CHATHAM
Pride Staff Writer
Jam Control is a student organization at
CSUSM that focuses on building a student
community through the artistic expression
of movement.
Jam Control aims to celebrate the love of
d ance, t o c ollaborate a nd w elcome o thers,
and to bring out new dancers or dancers
that just want to share their experience with
others. Jam Control stands for "Justifying
Artistic Movement, Collaboration of New
Talent, Recognizing Our Love."
Dancers and instructors work collaboratively to ensure an environment that fosters
exploration and innovation. "It does not just
relate to dancing, but how it relates to collaborating with anyone and everyone that
has a passion and the drive to build a sense
of community and
unity in our campus
and society," said
Jam Control's club
president Randy Saldivar.
Jam Control had
its first debut at
CSUSM in 2000,
because a group of
students wanted to
celebrate the art of
CSUSM. With a weekly attendance average
of around forty-five members, Jam Control
is here to stay.
Originally conceptualized to celebrate
the art of hip-hop, Jam Control appreciates
all dance styles. "Jam Control is focusing on becoming a World Dance Student

Black History Month exclusive
Interview with BSU President
BY MATT LEWIS
Pride Staff Writer
As part of our Black History Month fourpart feature, The Pride recently interviewed
Black Student Union president, Adam Rajah
Gainey. Keep a lookout for more Black History Month exclusives throughout this issue
and in upcoming issues.
Matt Lewis:
Tell us about
yourself.
Adam Rajah
Gainey:
My
name is Adam
Rajah Gainey,
I'm 26 years
old, and I've
, been a student
at CSUSM for 2
years.
ML: What is
the Black Student Union?
ARG: Basically the BSU is mostly made
up of African American students, and it was
developed to be a social organization/club,
so that people can socialize and find ways
into other clubs, be active on campus, and
participate in community services/social
events. It's a little different since we (African-Americans) are such a big minority
here on campus, so its purpose is to explore
different areas and bring to light some different issues on campus. _
ML: How many students are involved
with BSU?
ARG: On our roster, we have about 60
members with 40 or so of them active, as
in helping at the tables and social events on
campus. It is hard since this is a commuter
school to get everyone together at a set time,
as well as keeping the meetings fun and relevant to events on campus.
ML: Does the BSU have a set meeting
time/place?
ARG: Yes, every Thursday during the
U-Hour (12-12:50 pm) in a new room now,
which I believe is University Hall 443. We
have our first [members] meeting coming
up next week, and we usually have officers
meetings once a week. The officer's board
has seven different chairs, which include
President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, two publishers, and a photographer. We
try to tie in the meetings to different social
events happening on campus, for example
events tied to Black History Month.
ML: Does the BSU have any plans for
events during Black History Month?
ARG: We are co-sponsoring a few events,
including the "February One" film next
Tuesday, which explores the story of the
four college freshmen students during the
Civil Rights Movement who started the sitins. This helped revitalize the Civil Rights
Movement because at the time, it was a big
social movement that had
"stalled out"
for several reasons.
Their recommitment to the
cause helped
get a lot of college students,
both
black
and white, to
participate
in sit-ins and
ride-alongs all
around the country. So it is another unique
perspective of history as opposed to the traditionally celebrated characters of Black
History month like Martin Luther King Jr.,
Rosa Parks, etc. ;
We try to put out unique stories that
would be a good learning experience for
both us and other people on campus.
We are also co-sponsoring a hip-hop
concert-previewing event, hosted by the
Breaks (which are a local group) who have
performed on campus befbre. »akoig*.,
ML: Any more information on the Black
Historyfilmsbeing shown on campus?
ARG: One other film, which we are not
sponsoring but are helping to advertise for,
is "Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard
Rustin." He was a prominent civil rights
activist who was unique because he was
one of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s aides
and helped coordinate a lot of logistics
and planning for events like the march on
Washington. The media did not give him
adequate praise at the time because he was
openly gay, which is pretty relevant now
especially with the debates on the right to
marriage going on. So it gives you a different perspective on the Civil Rights Movement, where someone can be responsible
for great things and be overlooked until
modern times.
ML: Does the BSU collaborate with any
other groups?
ARG: No, not yet, but we are hoping to
get involved with groups like the NAACP
"We try to put out
unique stories that
would be a good learning experience for both
us and other people
on campus."-Gainey
group in Oceanside, and also the local Boys
and Girls Club. It would be ideal to set up a
program where some of our members could
go and volunteer there, because with the
budget cuts they have a lot less money for
staff. Hopefully, we can try and get a small
group to help out with that this semester.
ML: With the election of President Obama,
what would you like to
see happen for the future
of the black community
on campus and in San
Diego County?
ARG: I think that it
is a historic time, and
like Barack Obama said,
we really need to start
trying different things
and not being afraid to
collaborate with other
people. For example, in
his administration, his
best work has always
been around a diverse
group of people. I think
for myself and others
included, it's not very
often that you see a lot
of successful couples. So
the fact that he is married and has kids, that
family unit, hasn't really
been a strong suit in our
community because of
social issues and stuff. It is really good to
see that, a strong father, a wife, and what
you can accomplish with hard work. So
hopefully it will get some young guys and
girls into doing different things, bettering
themselves and most of all, trying to make
a difference.

A night I will never forget
BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
In my mind, Ifiguredsomebody
was either lost or needed help. So,
I wanted to get to the door as quick
as I could. I grabbed my glasses,
but it was dark and I still could not
see anything in my room.
Since it was hot and I was only
sleeping in shorts, I pulled the comforter off my bed and wrapped it
around myself rather than trying to
find a shirt. I was under the impression I would have to open the door,
give some directions, and go back
to sleep.
When I opened the door, I saw
a young man and woman standing there with beer cans in their
As an RA, I am required to run
to any situation that may be unfolding. Yet, one of the most unique
instances I have ever had came to
me.
One weekend in August, Stone
Brewery held an anniversary party
on campus. That same weekend,
the RAs were going to Big Bear for
a retreat after training. After packing, I went to bed early because we
were leaving around 6AM. In the
late hours of the night, I was woken
by a couple knocking on my door.
hands. I could hardly see, but they
looked over 21. The man spoke to
me and asked what I was doing. I
was stunned. Apparently, he could
notfigureout that I was sleeping as
evidenced by the look on his face.
He asked me why I was not partying on a Friday night. He rambled on until I gathered my words
and told him soliciting was not
allowed. After all, he was being a
disturbance and he had to leave. He
gave a confused look, and realized
I was an RA.
He said he was a graduate of
CSUSM and was in town for the
Stone Brewery event and came to
the UVA to party on a Friday night.
I then told him he had to leave and
that I was going to escort him out.
He began to walk away, but
when he realized I was following
him, he turned and got in my face.
I stood there wrapped in my comforter as he shouted insults three
inches from my face. The smell of
cheap beer on his breath was overwhelming.
As I reminded him of UVA
policy that he needed to leave, he
threatened to hit me. I was scared,
but I almost laughed when he
pointed to a pair of moles near my
right eye and said he would give
me another mark like that. I sarcastically told him that would be
impossible.
The female friend of his finally
got him to back down, and they
left. When I got back to my room,
I called my supervisor and let her
know what happened. She told me
to call UPD and let them know to
keep and eye out for him. A while
later, I got a call saying he was
picked up for public intoxication.
Ask any RA. They will tell you
a story just like this one. Now I am
an expert at removing crazy and
creepy people to keep my residents
safe.
Business leaders' experiences brought to C SUSM
C oBA course incorporates executive-level guests
BY DIANA VALDIVIA
Pride Staff Writer
The College of Business
Administration currently offers
a course inspired by Bravo's
television series, "Inside the
Actor's Studio." "In the Executive's Chair" is a course where
professors Rajnandini " Raj"
Pillai and David Bennett host
senior executives who give students advice from their own
real life business experiences.
"In the Executive's Chair" is
part of The Center for Leader-
ship Innovation and Mentorship
Building (CLIMB).
Guest speakers come to share
their knowledge, words of
advice, and strategies, which
provide students with a better
understanding of the real business world. Guests also share
their expertise on how they
became
business
leaders.
Among other concepts, business leaders pass on the value
of the challenges and sacrifices that the business world
includes. One unique detail
about this class is that students
are able to ask questions to the
guest speakers.
"In the Executive's Chair" is
not only for students enrolled in
MGMT 432. The discussions are
open to other students and the
business community. The series
runs through April. Located in
Markstein Hall 125, the class
meetings are from 11:20 a.m. to
12:50 p.m. on Wednesdays.
"It gives students a chance to
listen to their careers," Bennett
said.
"Listening, in person, to the
executive, being able t a spend
time with them one on one after
the class, ask them questions,
shake their hand and do some
networking if they desired,"
Bennett explained as the "touch
and feel" concept students can
benefit from.
Tyler Stoll, a student enrolled
in Executive's Chair, explained
that it is not like any other class
he has had.
"They all give specific examples and one thing that they want
you to leave with. It is not all
about bookwork," said Stroll. "It
is about real experiences."
"You get to learn from CEOs
firsthand from what has made
them successful and failures that
you can learn from," another
student, Jonathan Curry, added.
"Instead of learning from books,
you are able to learn from people
in different industries from real
life instances."
Chief Executive & Senior VP
from Scripps Green Hospital,
Robin Brown, will be the next
guest speaker on Feb. 11. For
this semester's speaker schedule,

Senior Staff Writer
This weekend packs a punch
with its action and romance
releases. This week's crop features several big name actors
and directors in f ilms that may
be quite e ntertaining.
Arts & Entertainment
First, German director Tom
Tykwer brings "The International." Tykwer, the director
of the modern foreign classic "Run Lola Run," now features an American cast in a
story about a corrupt international bank. Clive Owen and
Naomi Watts star in the leading roles.
Though the story
of one man bringing
down a corrupt organization has been done
to death through James
Bond, Jason Bourne*
and Jack Bauer, this
could be an entertaining action f ilm. It all
depends on how well
the twists and t urns
are laid out. Tykwer
is a good storyteller
as evidenced by his
German work, and his
recent English f ilm,
" Perfume."
For those who have
already seen "He's Just
Not That Into You,"
and need a rom-com
for St. Valentine's Day, look
no f urther than "Confessions
of a Shopaholic." Isla Fischer
, stars in this tale of an obsessive and excessive shopper
t rying to land a j ob at a fashion magazine and balance her
life. Though consumerism is
dead during this economic
crisis, many young ladies will
f ind this an entertaining f ilm.
"Two Lovers" is an alternate romance f ilm for those
looking for a more serious
f ilm. This drama stars Joaquin
Phoenix as a heartbroken man looking to
rebuild himself. In
the process, he f alls
for two women at the
same time. He must
choose between the
two women and faces
the consequences in
this drama. The end
of this f ilm is obvious
f rom the trailer. The
protagonist will have f un with
both women, but viewers will
know the conclusion before he
does. With modern romances

such as "Two Lovers," the f ilm
is about the j ourney rather
than the end. Yet, the j ourney is less exciting when one
knows where it is g oings
An alternate route to getting close to someone this St.
Valentine's Day is to hold him
or her tight while
watching the remake of "Friday
the 13th." Since the remakes
of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Halloween," it
was only a matter of time
before Jason and his hockey
mask got an update - it's c onvenient. This Friday happens
to be the 13th as well. I have
simple expectations about this
f ilm. Several people will gp to
Camp Crystal Lake and die. If
this slasher f ilm can emphasize tension over violence,
it may be
worth a
watch. Or, one
could get the immortally creepy original.
Attention all students!

Hits of Sunshine
Sonic Youth
BY AMY SALISBURY
Faces & Places Editor
My intention is to write a column
exploring what I believe to be musicians'
^ essential works that any devoted music
lover can, well, love. With any luck, that
may very well be how this thing ends
•up.
...
After 15 studio albums, 28 active
years, and the redefinition of the rock
guitar sound, one might assume Sonic
Youth have a fair amount of street cred.
They should, since all four members are
old enough to be our parents. Thurston
Moore, lead vocalist and husband of
bassist Kim Gordon, formed Sonic Youth
in 1981 with Lee Ranaldo, lead guitarist.
Drummer Steve Shelley completed the
cast when he joined in 1985.
Although I wouldn't necessarily deem
Hits 6f Sunshine (for Allen Ginsberg),
off 1998's A Thousand Leaves, as the
pivotal Sonic Youth experience, a certain power rests in the epic, 11-minute jam sweetly sandwiched between
Moore's subdued vocal performance.
Stripped from any harmony or modern
effects, abstract, breathy words convey
a world so purely in the style Ginsberg
explored.
Ginsberg's legendary stream of consciousness writings reclassified poetry
during the Beat Generation's height of
creativity in the 1950s. Just as Moore
and Ranaldo embrace non-conformity

Pride Staff Writer
in their compositions, so the Beats
expanded upon classic poetic styles.
What makes this song so special
is the lyrics' ability to stand on their
own without the support of any music,
regardless of its innovation. Believe
me, with imagery like, "the lights
will blind up with blues in haiku/the
shadow has a dream where painters
look to sea," these twisted verses could
easily stand up to any coffeehouse recitation this side of San Francisco.
The rounded, cool lines end far too
early as the listener encounters the
haunting noises Sonic Youth are so
keen on including in their work. The
tempo seems mellow as the band's
extraordinary grasp of organic sound
fills the already clouded atmosphere.
In keeping with Ginsberg's groove,
Ranaldo's lead guitar reflects the chaotic, nearly melody-free body of the
song. No discernable pattern exists,
making duplication of any measure
virtually impossible. Who would want
to try, anyway?
Suddenly, Moore's ethereal tenor
returns like it never left. Echoing rhymes past, the steady drone of
guitar, drums, and bass combined with
the even lyrics surprisingly produce a
lull until gently fading out. Never in
my life would I expect to feel calmed
after a Sonic Youth encounter, but to
this weary listener, the respite is welcome.

THE PRIDE
This week in DVD's there is no smooth
sailing. Only by going into the vault could
someone find a great movie. Two documentaries fell short of their potential and
the Hollywood movie factory feature sunk
faster than the Titanic, with the incredible
waste of time and money on "Pineapple
Express." I still can't decide who was more
foolish, me for wasting two hours and four
bucks or the studio wasting their millions
and the celluloid for the film.
"F*ck: A Documentary"
Sometimes, everything seems to fall into
place. In the morning, the story broke about
Christian Bale unleashing an F-bomb fury
on a set worker whilefilmingthe new Terminator movie. One might offhandedly dismiss the premise of this film, thinking it a
way to quickly make superfluous amounts
of money through the gratuitous use of the
word 'f*ck\ This film is, however, a middleweight attempt to create a public intercourse about the most fundamental of our
freedoms, the freedom of speech. If your
sensibilities are easily disturbed, this film
will shock you with more than 800 uses of
the word f*ck. If you are desensitized, then
thefilmwill not likely shocked you.
This movie could have carried out a very
serious discussion about the wider implications of censorship in our country, but it
does not. It could have pushed for an open
debate on the subject, but it instead makes
light of any potential debate and provides
fluffy opinions from people on both sides
o fthe issue, t he two sides are; yotTKTS?"
free speech, or you're for decency. This is
an overly simplistic view of the issue. This
pillow-y treatment of the issue leaves no
feathers ruffled, and there is insufficient
passion for the defense of our freedom
of speech, a founding core value of our
democracy. In spite of the fact this film is
less than hard hitting, and avoids fanning
the flames of discussion, it does present
an issue that we should all be concerned
about, regardless of our views. Liberal,
Conservative, or Moderate in your politics,
you should see this film with friends and
make sure you never stop the discussion
about the importance of our freedom of
speech, for f*ck sake.
Soft-hearted 'What to See' ***
"Pineapple Express"
For the first time in my life, after seeing
this movie, I logged onto the web to see what
other reviewers thought about this film. I
thought that maybe I missed something.
I didn't. The only scene possessing even a
small chuckle, for a sober viewer, was featuring Bill Hader from SNL as Private
Miller. This opening scene lasts for only a
couple of minutes. Thisfilmso desperately
tries to be a buddy actionflick,wrapped in
an E-Z Wider. The wrapper is clearly evident throughout the whole hazy picture.
The script was apparently written under the
influence. The acting is pedestrian, and there
was simply nothing in thefilmthat provides
any return on the investment of time wasted
watching this bummer. Had I seen it at the
theatre, I wouldn't have only demanded my
money back, but I would have demanded
the two hours of my life back as well. It may
well be that in the proper "frame of mind,"
there may be some enjoyment to be found
here, but there are simply too many good
films out there to enjoy, to waste yourself
on this one.
Chronic 'What to Miss' *
"14 Women"
The documentary chronicles the lives
of 14 women who serve as United States
Senate. This film greatly undershoots the
mark in offering insight into the lives of
these dedicated public servants. In attempting to show that these energetic, caring and
driven women not only see to the needs of
the millions of constituents they represent, but that they also have daily family
responsibilities just like you and me. In
this regard, the viewer will no doubt come
away with a greater respect for the work
these women do. The manner in which
this film displays these everyday champions of 'we the people' lacks any sense of
cohesiveness and contains no narrative.
jumps from one*
Senator to the next, using candid clips and
interviews interchangeably, and does so
without any apparent rhyme or reason. I
so wanted to recommend this film when I
selected it for this weeks review, but unfortunately the weakness of the film, incredibly, outweighs the strengths of 14 great
women Senators combined.
'What to Miss'Barely**
"A Day at the Races"
This is a greatfilmfromthe Vault. If you
have never seen the greatness that is the
Marx brothers, then this movie will provide
the best introduction to their comic genius.
While 70 years may have left a patina on
thisfilm,even now you can see the bold and
brazen innuendo that Groucho Marx created decades ahead of his time. This movie
immensely helped the mood of our country
while it was emerging from the first Great
Depression. Perhaps now, as much as ever,
we can all use a good laugh.

A refreshing gentle boost
Diet Lemon Iced T ea
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Senior Staff Writer
Snapple Beverage Corporation distributes Diet Lemon Iced
Tea from their headquarters in
Rye Brook, New York. Leonard Marsh, Hyman Golden,
and Arnold Greenburg grew up
together as friends. Originally, the
trio sold purefruitdrinks to health
conscious stores.
The Snapple name came from
one of their originalfruitflavored
drinks. The apple flavored drink
tasted snappy, giving birth to the
company's world famous name.
Snapple Lemon Tea debuted
as the first product in 1987. Currently, the company sells nearly 70
flavors of tea to over 81 countries.
A 20 fluid ounce plastic bottle
of Snapple Diet Lemon Iced Tea
retails between $2-3. Although the
glass tea bottle offers the popular random fact under the
bottle cap such as a gold
fish's attention span is
three seconds, the plastic version can be taken
anywhere a tea connoisseur desires.
The diet version has
zero calories making the
drink a perfect choice for
many still working on
their New Year's resolution to consume healthier
products. The tea is also
made from natural lemon
flavors, amongst other
natural flavors.

Ever since my first semester here at CSUSM, I have
enjoyed the semester tradition
of browsing during Cougar
Bazaar. Imre Papp shows up
each semester to display his
wares for the CSUSM community. Although Papp frequents
street fairs and shows, he
states that he enjoys CSUSM
for its "light atmosphere" and
"friendly students."
Papp
takes pride in the quality of
his garments. He just wants to
sell "good clothes to good students "
"I just love the prices," said
CSUSM community member,
Chelsea Taylor.
While browsing the tees,
Taylor described her style as
eclectic, "a mix between I don't
give a fuck, and I am beautiful
After a slight shaking the tea
pours thin releasing a hint of fresh
lemon. A murky reddish brown
illuminates the tea glass filled to
the brim with ice cubes. The fluid
easily passes through the lips
and into the mouth. A refreshing
charge of lemony zest energizes
all aspects of the mouth. The diet
tea does not taste as bold as the
regular tea but the trade off for
zero calories balances the discrepancy. Add a slice of lemon to the
brim for extra zing. The tea pairs
well with light lunches such as
tuna sandwiches and chef salads.
The small doses of caffeine
make any Snapple product a great
treat for any Cougar during a day
of rigorous classes. Next time,
buy two Snapple teas and enjoy
the refreshing beverage at a bench
or under a tree with a fellow classmate. Cheers!
enough to wear anything."
Taylor's shopping companion Alix Fidel also loves shopping.
A frequent Cougar Bazaar
shopper, Fidel added ", the guy
who works here is really nice."
Fidel describes her style as
"classic, clean and tailored."
Two women, two different
style philosophies: same love
of bargain buys.
The clothes on display
appeal to the average college
student. There is a great variety of shirts and an awesome
array of sassy scarves.
The style is reminiscent of
brands such as Pacsun and
Sun Diego. The clothes match
the classic California beach
aesthetic. In other words, the
clothes are laidback.
In general, the vibe is youthful, vivacious and carefree.
The garments are very rea-
sonably priced ranging from
$8.00-$35.00, although the
vast majority are priced under
$20.00.
I still recall my purchase
last semester, a gray jersey
cardigan that I was planning
to buy from Urbanoutfitters
for a mere $12.00. Originally,
the same jersey cardigan was
available online for $30.00.
I got it for less than half the
price. Needless to say, I was
ecstatic and decided it was in
my best interest to buy another
cardigan the next day.
Overall, I purchased two
cardigans for a price less then
the original. I left satisfied
and my wallet was equally
grateful.
If you have the patience
and time I would recommend
browsing through
Papp's
clothes, you never know what
you'll find.
Five movies to watch on Valentine's Day
Women and men will enjoy any of these movies

Pride Staff Writer
Sometimes it's hard to find
one movie that you and your

movie picks that couples can
watch together on Valentine's
Day.
1. P.S. I Love You
I might be a bit biased on
this pick since it is one of my
favorite movies of all the time
but I can ensure that it is definitely worth watching if you
have not already done so. You

will laugh and cry, and laugh
some more with this great
movie.
2. Knocked Up!
Not as much of a guy movie
.as. "Superbad". yet not as much
of a girl movie as "27 Dresses."
"Knocked Up!" is a hilarious comedy that will have you
laughing for quite some time.
3. Kung Fu Panda
"Kung Fu Panda" is a quirky
animated comedy about the
unexpected hero that will make
you cheer for him throughout
the movie. You are never too
old to watch this movie.
4 .1 Am Legend
Will Smith hardly disappoints his audience and "I am
Legend" is not an exception. "I
Am Legend" has the scary and
suspense elements that both of
you will love.
5. Dark Knight
If you have not seen "The
Dark Knight" yet you are definitely missing out. It might be
long movie to sit through but
it will not disappoint you. The
suspense will keep you at the
edge of your seat and did I mention there is a love story within
the main plot?

should avoid on Valentine's Day
DON'T:
L Don't mope around remembering past relationships
As cliché as it sounds, the past
is in the past. Remembering what

anyone, and on Valentine's Day,
it might make things worse.
2. Don't neglect your friends
who are in a relationship
Some of your friends who are
not single might want to spend
this Valentine's Day with their
significant other. Understand
that it is okay
for some of
your friends to
want to spend it

you might want to stay away from
movies like "The Notebook" and

4. Don't forget it is not just one
Valentine's Day
Sometimes we live life forgetting to appreciate our friends.
Don't forget that it is not just one
day of the year when you should
celebrate your friendships.
Like I mentioned before I do
not have any good ideas on what
single guys should do on Valentine's Day but whatever your
relationship status, sex, or sexual
preference is you should take
this day to appreciate important
people in your life.

Creating
the perfect
class
schedule
By GABRIEL MARTIN
Pride Staff Writer
"Scheduling is an art," said
Professor Susie Cassel, chair
of the literature and writing
department here at CSUSM.
Professor Patty Seleski, chair of
the history department, compared
it to juggling, as the needs of
students and the budget that has
been allocated by the dean have
to be balanced. "It's the curse of
middle management," she said.
The course scheduling process
is much more complex than most
people realize, and thè upcoming budget crisis has only made
it more complicated than before.
Several factors must be juggled
when the department chairs
determine when, where, and how
many sections of a course will be
offered.
The needs of both the major
and of general education (GE)
requirements are considered.
Every department offers several
GE courses, which must be taken
by all students. Enough classes
for the department's major also
have to be offered, but these
classrooms can be hard tofilldue
to their specialized nature. An
attempt is made to offer major
courses at a variety of times,
but usually only one section of
a particular course is. offered per
semester or year.
Attempts are made to offer
courses in "a consistent,
predictable way," said the chair
of the mathematics department,
professor Linda Holt. If several
classes are only available once
per year, schedulers will attempt
to consistently offer courses
during the same semesters.
Class A is always available in
the spring, class B is always in
the fall. These major classes
are arranged like this to avoid
conflict.

The conflict in Iraq has spurred
a recent media frenzy. Local news
has focused on troops leaving for
the Gulf and the nationwide news
has been focused on the words
of President George Bush and
Secretary of State Colin Powell.
It is obvious that important
decisions are being made during
this and the last few months.
These decisions are important
to CSUSM students because
they directly involve the young
citizens, a large percentage
of whom are members of the
military.
This is especially true with the
large numberof CSUSM students
who are currently enlisted in the
Army, Marine Corps, Navy,

do not know is that the popular

Cal State San Marcos is the
trademark that students, prospective students, faculty, staff, and
off-campus community members

Behind The Scenes
Although the recycling program here at Cal State San
Marcos garnered national recognition last year, many
around the campus community felt that it had a lot of
room for improvement. One such person was a former
Cal State San Marcos employee and recycling program
coordinator, Nancy Quinn. Quinn had been working
diligently toward improving the program, but when the
state of California announced budget cuts to the CSU
system last semester, Quinn was let go.

�and other obstacles
some students face
By SARA COLBRESE
Pride Staff Writer
"At the beginning of last
semester I was excited to start
college. I had chosen my classes
and I thought that it was going
to be easy. Unfortunately within*
the first couple of weeks I
noticed that I was having more
trouble in my classes that the
average student." This is a
typical struggle for students with
learning disabilities, especially
once they reach the college level.
It is difficult for many to admit
they are experiencing academic
difficulties, but once they do, they

Rubella, Measles, and Mumps: Oh My!
Student Health Services offers free M MR vaccinations
By JASON PADILLA
Opinion Editor
There is still time to clear the
Measles, Mumps and Rubella
(MMR) immunization that is
required by CSUSM. Students
who are unsure about the current
status of their immunization
need to contact their physician
or doctor in order to clarify the
uncertainties. For students sure
of their need, the Student Health
Services (SHS) clinic will be
offering free MMR vaccination
shots on Friday Feb. 21, Mar 7 and
March 21. MMR vaccines will be
held at the SHS clinic located on
the corner of corner of Craven and
Twin Oaks and are available to all
registered students. Those who
cannot make the scheduled dates
for vaccinations may schedule an
appointment for another time.
Able to spread from person to
person through the air, Measles,
Mumps and Rubella are serious
diseases. Not only are they
serious, but they can also be very
annoying to students who find a
MMR hold on their registration.
The CSU system requires that all
students be immunized to MMR
prior to their first semester of
being enrolled £t a CSU campus.
Junior communication major
Paul Anderson experienced this
first hand. "I didn't even know that
measles mumps or rubella was an
issue, but apparently I needed the
vaccine before I could register for
my first semester at CSUSM a
few years back," Anderson said.
Anderson later went to the SHS
clinic and received his vaccine.

�THE PRIDE
According to Holt, the schedule
is "highly structured.. so classes
don't overlap." Major classes
shouldn't conflict with each other.
The idea is to let students have
access, at some time of the day,
to the classes they need. This
is even further complicated by
the fact that some departments
provide prerequisite courses for
other majors, or offer classes that
are eligible for upper division
GE credit. The departments try
to work with each other in order
to coordinate their schedules.
The dean's office is responsible

department chairs have very little
control over when a classroom

class may be forced to use a
smaller classroom.
The department chairs interviewed also said that the concerns
of instructors are another consideration. The appropriate teacher
has to be matched to classes in
which they have a certain degree
of expertise; a teacher who specializes in vertebrate physiology
is not the best choice to lead a
microbiology class.
Instructors also can't be scheduled at

As to why the brand name was changed, Moore
responded, "The Academic Program Marketing
Committee felt that in this region, where most of
the campuses are known by their initials, it would
help San Marcos to stand out by using words* rather
than letters. Also, the group felt that 'Cal State San
Marcos seemed less formal, friendlier, and more
welcoming to incoming students, who were our
highest priority target group."
The decision to make Cal State San Marcos the
brand name trademark of the university was made in
September 2000 by the Academic Program Marketing Task Force. This change was announced to the
campus at the Fall Convocation a year and a half ago and
put into effect at the start of the fall 2001 semester.
An email was sent out to all the task force members to
ask if they would comment on this meeting and the decision that was made, but few responded and the ones who
did only referred The Pride to Rick Moore for the group's
official statement.
When asked if students were officially notified of this
change and how, Moore stated, "Students were represented on the committee. I do not know if their representative 'officially' notified ASI or students. The change in the
university mark did not affect the Cougar mark that is used
by student groups."
Why are students not in the know?
Most students were unaware of this change to the brand
name and were not sure why it took place. According to
Moore, there was no known form of notification for the
student body, because at the time there was no "in the
loop" email and the Cougar Channel did not exist. Since
the change took place a year and a half ago, there has not
been a lot of discussion about it among the student body.
Brodowsky added, "I wonder why, at this time, this is
being followed up on as a high priority issue as if it were
breaking news." In answer to his question, The Pride did
not report on this issue at the time because it was not a
public pertinent announcement that had been made to the
student body, and now as the brand name is used, the focus
on the correct term is at hand.
According to Moore, the response to the change was
stated as, "Enthusiastic acceptance. Some faculty were
concerned that we had taken the word 'university' out
of the mark, so we developed an academic mark for them
to use in certain circumstances, such as when submitting
papers or research findings and when conducting academic
business outside of the northern San Diego region.
Albie Hewlett, a senior communication major, also
commented to the name brand change. "We as students
are the ones who use this title to acknowledge our university. It is something as simple as a name that can help build
an individual's school pride and this can be particularly
important for a university like CSUSM!" Hewlett said.

Llegué a pensar que la prensa
y los medios mexicanos estaban
exagerando, que se le envidiaba
a la pobre actriz por haberse ido
a Estados Unidos a buscar nuevas
fronteras, que por "traicionar a
México" se le tenía resentimiento,
que se le tenía coraje por estar
dejando dinero al cine americano
y por haber logrado en menos de
10 años lo que muchos no han
logrado en 20. Tal vez de esta

éxitos y se ha hablado muy bien
de sus proyectos y de su talento.

Could the
Internet be
the Solution
for Student
Housing?
By: Angela Oesterle
Pride Staff Writer
"Where are they going to
go?" This seems to be the first
question students ask when they
are told that CSUSM will no longer offer housing as of June 2001.
Interim Director of Student and
Residential Life, Sandra Punch,
tells students to wait for the "big
package" housing has in store for
2003.
With construction of the
apartment-style dorms anticipated
to break ground in fall 2001, Student Housing and Residential Life
(SRL) is looking more towards
the future rather than focusing on
the current impact of the elimination of student housing. The
dorms are expected to include
400+ beds and will be available
for CSUSM students in Fall 2003,
but the CSU Trustees must first
approve the plan.
Punch is working to establish a housing program with such
people as Russ Decker, Director
of Design and Construction;
Susan Mitchell, Senior Director
of Health, Counseling, and
Disability Services; Jonathan
Poullard, Dean of Students,
Francine Martinez, VP of Student
Affairs; and others.
Although there will be no
school-sponsored housing, Punch
believes alternatives, such as
seeking housing centers via the
Internet, will benefit students.
"What we are really doing right
now is upgrading our web site,"
said Punch, "We are actually visiting a dozen apartment complexes in the area, from Escondido to
Vista and places in Carlsbad...\ye
will be doing virtual tours of
those [apartment complexes] ."
According to Punch, the
remodeled web site "will provide
an online web-based listing service, for apartment complexes
and individuals to list."

Hannibal Returns After Ten Years

packed crowds into theaters, as
Hannibal has seemed to do on its
opening weekend. It is hardly fair,
however, to assume that with gore
comes a bad story, bad acting, and
bad direction. Hannibal proves
quite the contrary to all these.
This sequel to Silence of the
Lambs brings everyone's favorite
cannibal back into the spotlight.
After living a life of anonymity for
years, Hannibal Lecter (Anthony
Hopkins) starts up with his old
tricks after FBI Special Agent

the ending, which was completely changed from that of

I NTERNET "KILL SWITCH" LEGISLATION BACK O N TABLE
THREAT OF CYBER TERRORISM INFLUENCING LAWMAKERS
JIMMY PIRAINO
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
r | l he revolution occurring in Egypt is sendX ing waves of change
across much of the world, and
the United States is not immune.
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."
Control Internet?
Yes

EGYPTIAN PRESIDENT HOSNI MUBARAK RESIGNS
COUNTRY'S VP ANNOUNCES TRANSITIONAL PERIOD
PHILIP MYKEL FLORES
NEWS EDITOR
A fter numerous pro/ \ tests and continued
JL JLcrisis in the streets of
Egypt, Egyptian President Hosni
Mubarak resigned last Friday,
Feb. 11 and handed over the much
needed power to the military after 30 years in power. 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.

CSUSM SCHOOL SHOOTING SCARE
EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEM PUT TO THE TEST
BEN DEARINGER
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Columbine, Virginia Tech
and University of Texas are all
schools that are notoriously
known for school shootings and
will forever be remembered. 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.

COmPflRinG THE TOP THREE TfißLET COfïlPUTERS
CHRIS GIANCAMILLI
MEDIA MANAGER
When the iPad was released
in April 2010, consumers and
tech geeks alike were certain of
one thing: competing companies
would do their best to develop
an "iPad killer." 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

The Galaxy Tab
and the Streak have
front facing cameras,
giving them videochatting capabilities.
Both the Samsung
and the Dell feature
cameras while the
current iPad model
does not. 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.

mainstream market, consum-
ers can expect to see more devices in the coming year with Bottom left: Samsung Galaxy

�BLACK HISTORY M ONTH
C E L E B R A T I N G A C H I E V E M E N T , T ALENT, H OPE
ALEXIS POLLARD
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
February is Black History
Month, a time set aside that recognizes and appreciates all aspects of black history and culture.
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

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

were colorful condoms of

there were flavored condoms and even some that

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

series of informational sessions
on sexual health issues. Guest
speakers will give the curious but
shy an opportunity to ask ques-,

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.

The circus came to town on
Thursday morning,, but not to
the Convention Center, not to
Qualcomm Stadium, not even to
an empty parking lot. 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

\ New mural recruits students and community to participate in 'diversity7
MELANIE SLOCUM
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
The Student Arts Association is working with the Visual
& Performing Arts (VPA) 181
class to plan, propose and paint
a mural at the University Village Apartments on campus.
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

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.

�COMIC C ON GLITCH
BADGES SELL OUT FASTER THAN EXPECTED LEAVING THOUSANDS OF FANS IN THE LURCH
MORGAN HALL
LAYOUT ASSISTANT
San Diego's 41-annual
Comic-Con takes place the
weekend of July 21 - 24, but
those who have not purchased
tickets yet are out of luck.
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."

21 ANNUAL SAN DIEGO JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL
BROADENING OUR KNOWLEDGE OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY
ASHLEY DAY
FEATURES EDITOR
For the past 21 years, San
Diego's Jewish community celebrated the history and experience
of Jews with films based on Jewish obstacles and lifestyle. 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. For more information, visit www.sdjff.org

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.

Enraged, emotional and
impassioned students gathered
last Thursday, Feb. 15, in front
of University Hall, to show support and opposition for an organization called Survivors.
Large sandwich boards were
propped up against a light post,
and another was supported by
Survivor missionary Joey Cox,
to present their cause.
Signs displayed presented
large, graphic images of a bor^
tions and listed facts about conception, human life and abortion
provided by the Survivors organization.
As students, staff and the
members of Survivors exchanged
expressive words, debates, and
conversations of agreement, a
demonstration began in front of
the display as a Women's Studies professor, Dr. Linda Pershing and several Women's Studies students proceeded to stand
in front of the signs, blocking
the images from other students
passing by.

hot wet blankets were also placed over
their heads, and plastic bags were used
for asphyxiation. According to their
accounts, they were forced to make
statements after extensive abuse, and
also forced to wave their rights to an
attorney.
Hank Jones, 70, and Ray Boudreaux,
64, two former Black Panthers, were
scheduled to speak as part of the CSUSM
event, but were arrested on January
23, 2007 for this same case from over
thirty years ago. The morning of February 14, one of the scheduled speakers,
Boudreaux appeared in court at 9AM
for charges of murder and conspiracy,
along with former Black Panthers Richard Brown, Henry Watson Jones, and
Richard O'Neal. Ages 55-71, they Were
brought in to Judge Donna Little's courtroom handcuffed and shackled at the
ankles.
Dr. Jodie Lawston from the sociology
department opened Wednesday's event
with a brief synopsis of the situation, and
expressed how she considered canceling
the event under the circumstances. She.
went on to say, "I feel that the people who
experience such oppression, directly,
should be able to speak about it." She
explained that the night before Ray Boudreaux had called to make a statement.
Dr. Lawston states, "Ray called the Freedom Archives last night, and he wanted
to tell everybody who came to this event
that he was very sorry he could not be
here today. He said, please tell everyone
I wanted to be there but can not."
After the film, Dr. Lawston and Dr.
Elise opened the room to discussion.
Dr. Elise clarified one student's question by saying, "You're question is why
would they pursue them so adamantly
even though they were innocent?" In
response to the question Dr. Elise stated,
"If you read about Cointelpro and its
relationship to the Black Panther Party,
you will see that they were out to destroy
the Black Panther Party under any ruse."
Dr. Lawston chimed in, "Two of the men
who were arrested in 1971 were listed in
Cointelpro as having to be neutralized.
Neutralized was the exact language they
used."
Dr. Elise describes the persistent
harassment of Black Panthers as a "mockery of liberty and justice," that fuels protests against police brutality. She shared
about the film, "I was particularly struck
by the film's point that the continuing
pursuit of law-abiding Black Panther
Party members is furthered by the Patriot
Act that is invoked to justify their recent
incarcerations based on the inclusion of
statements extracted decades ago during
torture by the police "
According to BlackPanther.org, in
October 1966, the late Huey P. Newton
and Bobby Seale founded the organization, originally called The Black Panther
Party for Self Defense. The organization focused on the fight for basic human
rights, as the video mentioned. The Party
set up several community programs such
as the Free Breakfast Program. Soon, the
Black Panther Party became the target of
the FBI's Cointelpro, Counterintelligence
Program that focused on "neutralizing"
civil rights activists. August 29 1971,
Sgt. John V. Young was shot inside the
Ingelside Police Station. According to,
Freedomarchives.org, in 1973, thirteen
men were arrested for supposedly having
a role in Young's murder. The video,
''Legacy of Torture: The War Against the
Black Liberation Movement," portrays
the accounts of these men, in their own
words, of how they were tortured during
interrogation. In 1975, a court threw out
the evidence obtained from these torturous interrogations. In 2003, the Department of Defense Te-opened the case with
funding from the Department of Homeland Security. For more information

�Sex workshop brings crowd to Clarke Field House
BY TIFFANIE HOANG
Pride Staff Writer
On Tuesday, Feb. 13, Health
Educator Cathy Nguyen and Passion Party Representative Jackie
Weber Cruz held an informative
event on sex at the Clarke Field
House as students ate creamfilled pastries.
According to the pink "Sex
and Cream" flyer advertising
the event to be "An informative workshop on safer sex and
includes demonstration of sensual products that includes alternative sexual items." The event at
the Clarke Field House translated
into: useful services that our
SHCS Student Health and Counseling Services center provides,
along with a basket full of lube
and condoms. SHCS also introduced everything from vibrators to nipple cream. In addition to playing with sex toys and
having a stranger administrate
lube to the entire room, a generous amount of mini-pastries were
readily available.
SHCS's Health Educator,
Nguyen, thoroughly and efficiently educated the room on the
differences between bacterial
and viral STI's (sexually .transmitted infections). Nguyen also

first hand-job." The hand job was
basically a hand massage given
by a soft purple rubber glove with
"rows and rows of flexible jelly
nubs." The seminar also included
edible massage creams, lubes
and powders, along with various
vibrators and a peculiar "lifelike
masturbation sleeve" by the name
of Gigi which Cruz said, as she
addressed the women in the audience, will "swallow for you if you
don't want to." Though certain
people admitted that they left the
seminar smelling like catsup and
mulch because of the pheromones
that Cruz said, "have different
smells on everybody," most students left with a different take on
how to spend Valentine's Day.
For additional information on
HIV and STI testing, students can

mentioned the services available at the SHCS center and provided a rendition of the "Twelve
Days of Christmas" sang as "The
Twelve STI's of Christmas;"
complete with stick figure animation of various diseases. Bacterial STI's such as Chlamydia are
often receptive to treatment with
antibiotics whereas viral STI'S
such as herpes are the fun ones
that stay with you. Nguyen also
brought to attention the importance of being tested and said,'
"Every first Wednesday of the
month, the health center provides
free HIV testing, and you can
get results within 20 minutes."
The testing is also anonymous
and operates on a walk-in basis.
Health Education was brought to
an end with STI jeopardy and a
free hand out offlavoredlube and
condoms.
The sex toys, lubes and creams
were administrated and displayed
by Jackie Weber Cruz, who

fees since 2002 (and about their plan to hike
them another 10% per year from now till
2011). They want us to keep quiet while they
increase class sizes and slash outreach
budgets. But public universities should be
affordable and accessible for all. We won't
stand by while they wreck the CSU!
W hy won't we sign the administration's contract?
We've gone five years with almost no raises, but their
salary offer won't even keep up with inflation. And it
won't change the fact that the CSU pays almost 20%
Jess than similar schools around the country. A great
education takes great teachers, but skimpy salaries are
driving good people out.
iiiiriiitlJillili
Faculty have not decided to strike yet, but will be voting
soon on whether to hold job actions. These may include
two-day walkouts designed to send a strong message
to the administration without keeping students from
graduating on time.
if we don't take action, faculty won't be able to afford to teach here and students
will be priced out of school. Our working conditions are your learning conditions. And we all deserve the very best! It's time to stand together to save our
school. We hope we can count on your support.

�New chewable contraceptive offers flavor to fans of the pill
BY JEREMY ALBERS
Pride Staff Writer
The first oral contraceptive pill
was approved by the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration in
1960. Today, more than 11 million
American women are currently
taking an oral contraceptive, and
research shows that 80 percent of
all U.S. women born since 1945
have used the pill. There is currently another option out there for
women who use oral contraceptives. Femcon Fe, the chewable
version of Ovcon 35, was released
in September o f2006 by international pharmaceutical company
Warner Chilcott of Rockaway,
NJ. The new chewable version
is spearmint flavored to not only
reduce the risk of pregnancy,
but ensure fresh breath as well.
When taken correctly, oral contraceptives have a failure rate of
less than one percent per year.
However, studies show that 47
percent of women miss one or
more pills per month and missing
pills can increase the risk of pregnancy. The idea is that women
who have a problem swallowing
pills, no matter how small, now
have a choice. Warner Chillcot
is also marketing Femcon Fe as
appealing to the mint and gum
chewing population of females.
Someone who may forget to take
their birth control pill at a consistent time daily may be more
likely tp chew on one. The packet
comes in a twenty-eight day regimen. There are twenty-one round
white tablets followed by seven
green (inactive) tablets to complete a four week cycle. It can be
swallowed or chewed. If chewed
then swallowed, it is important to drink a full eight-ounce
glass of water to wash it down.
CSUSM Senior Elizabeth Sheets
discussed the matter, "I think it
is improbable that a chewable
pill will make you less likely
to forget." She did not see the
advantage to the spearmint flavor
as an attraction saying, "It's still
the pill, you know?"
Another selling point of theflavor is an appeal to the younger
generation of women that are
looking for a desirable form of
oral contraceptive. Young women
who may lead a sporadic lifestyle
with no regular routine can take
Femcon Fe on the go. The intention of marketing to teenagers
led CSUSM Senior Desiree Silva
to remark, "Are they trying to
encourage young girls to be sexually active?" She raises a good
point, but contraceptives are not
strictly for sexually active women.
They can regulate the menstrual
cycle and decrease bleeding.
Oral contraceptives may provide
benefits other than prevention of
unintended pregnancy including protection against ovarian
cancer, benign breast disease,
pelvic inflammatory disease, and
iron-deficiency anemia. The 75
milligrams of iron contained in
the green "dummy" pills, taken
during week four of the twentyeight day cycle, helps to fight
iron-deficiency anemia. The
risks are similar to that of other
oral contraceptives. Blood clots,
heart attack, and stroke are all
possible side effects. The wholesale price is $44.
Femcon Fe is not currently
available at the Student Health
and
Counseling
Services
(SHCS). SHCS was not aware of
the release of the Warner Chilcott
product and the Director of the
clinic Dr. Karen Nicholson said,
"I don't know if we will carry it
or not." On the issue of marketing to teenage girls Dr. Nicholson
mentioned, "It is important that
parents influence their children;
not the media."
SHCS does offer a wide variety
of birth control such as condoms,
birth control pills, and Depo-Provera which is taken by injection.

control or any other health issue

HPV and Gardasil, you could be "one less"
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
For many women, cervical
cancer is important and valid
concern. Until recently though,
there was no safeguard or precaution available to women to
protect themselves from the
uncertainty of cervical cancer;
and one known cause for cervical cancer is the human papillomavirus, also referred to as
HPV. HPV is a sexually transmitted virus that can be carried
and transferred through sexual
contact by both men and women.

Karen Blattner, the Nurse Practitioner for the CSUSM Student

in her column linked from the

Gardasil is currently available
at SHCS for female students,
as the vaccine has not yet been
approved for men. Yet although
the vaccine is available to students
at SHCS, it is still an expensive
vaccine. Dr. Karen Nicholson, the
Medical Director for SHCS said:
"[the vaccine] does cost money,
the charge at the health center is
$120 per shot and it is a three shot
series given over six months. This
is costly and can be a problem. If
students have health insurance,
we encourage them to verify with
their insurance company whether
or not the vaccine is covered. If
it is covered, we recommend that
students use their insurance to
obtain the vaccine. For students
without health insurance, or who
have insurance that doesn't cover
the vaccine, Merck, the m anufacturer of Gardasil, has a pre-
scription-assistance program that
would allow students to get the
vaccine for free. Students must
meet the criteria established by
Merck in order to get the vaccine for free. For questions about
this process, please contact our
Health Records Technician, Shelley Ross, and she will be able to
assist you."
If students have further questions about Gardasil, Dr. Nicholson encourages them to visit or
make an appointment at SHCS.
"We have lots of printed material
about Gardasil, as well information on our website. Students are
also given this information during
visits with our Health Educator or
with the Medical providers."

�Cinderella bill turns drinking
The "Green Team" makes a
on 21st birthday into fairy tale clean sweep for Recyclemania
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
The fermentation of sugar creates
alcohol. This ancient process has withstood history and remains in many societies throughout the world. Breweries
and wineries utilize fermented sugar
to produce beer and wine. The current
drinking age for such beverages in the
U.S. remains 21. However, dissimilar times and days for drinking differ
amongst the states. Georgia restricts
the sale of liquor on Sundays while Las
Vegas allows for consumption of alcoholic beverages night or day any day of
the week.
Consumption of alcoholic beverages
has lead to many traditions, especially
on 21st birthdays. Venturing out to a bar
at the stroke of midnight on a 21st birthday remains popular amongst society.
"I went to the bar at 11:55 p.m. to kick
off the day," said Junior DeLacy Brown
a Liberal Studies major, who recently
turned 21 in early February.
"I went into the clubs the second the
clock stroked midnight," said Junior
Michael McBride.
When asked if the tradition of drinking at midnight on 21st birthdays
remains popular, Brown said "[it's] very
much alive," as McBride said, "I think it
is strong and alive." They also stated that
there were no mishaps during their night
of drinking at their fresh age of 21.
"Realizing that I was 21 and legally
able to drink, buy alcohol, [and] go
to bars whenever I wanted if I heeded
to made me feel like an adult," said
McBride.
However, the U.S. Senate is taking
aim at this tradition. The U.S. Senate
has passed House Bill 36, specifically
for Texas, which has become known
as the 'Cinderella Bill.' Under the proposed bill, people turning 21 would not
be able to consume alcoholic beverages
until 7 a.m. on their birthday. Similar
bills are currently either in effect or still
being proposed in other states. The bill
originates from Texas. State Rep. Rob
Eissler pioneered the bill after one of
his constituencies' son died the day of
"his 21st birthday due to a night of binge
drinking.
Under the 'Cinderella Bill' bars serving 21-year-olds before 7 a.m. will be
guilty of committing a Class A misdemeanor, will receive a $4,000 fine and
those whom served the alcohol could
serve possible jail time. Furthermore,
the bar could have its license for serving alcohol revoked or suspended.
The rationale for the bill lies in the
current situation created by legal hours
of drinking. In California 2 a.m. signifies the deadline for all consumption
and purchases of alcohol for the previous business day. If a person were to
begin drinking at 12:00 a.m. (as many
21-year-olds often do) in honor of tradition, and participate in what's known
as the "power-hour" (between midnight and 1 a.m.), they would only have
two hours to consume alcohol. The bill
hopes to discourage mass consumption
of alcohol between the wee hours in the
morning and in return prevent future
deaths.
Brown said, "I think [the Cinderella
Bill] is absolutely ridiculous! Almost
everyone I know celebrated their 21st
birthday at the bar at midnight. I understand that some may think newly capable drinkers won't be responsible drinking too much while celebrating, but just
a few more hours later isn't going to
benefit anyone."
CSUSM currently mandates an alcohol awareness program for all entering
freshmen, and the Student Health and
Counseling Services Center offers a
variety of alcohol education programs,
services, and peer advising.
SHCS is open Monday-Friday from
8:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. located at 120
Craven Road (directly across Twin
Oaks Valley road from campus).

Pride Staff Writer
Cal State San Marcos is currently striving
to retain our title as "Grandmaster Recycling
Champions" in the RecycleMania competition, a national contest motivating schools
to cut down on waste. CSUSM has won the
competition for the past two years. The good
news is that CSUSM is currently first place
in the competition. The not so good news is
that we still have seven more weeks to go,
and any of the other 200+ participating college campuses nationwide still have a shot at
claiming the number one spot.
Recycling is relatively easy to do at
CSUSM. In fact, sometimes it is more difficult to find a trash can with all of the multitudes of recycling bins at our disposal. The
people responsible for CSUSM's wonderful recycling program call themselves the
Green Team which includes Facilities Services personnel Mui Sullivan, Steve Waiters, Carl Hansen and Ed Johnson. They are
in charge of deciding where to put trash and
recycling bins throughout the campus.
However, according to Green Team
member Ed Johnson, the members of the
Blue Crew are the guys doing the real work.
Blue Crew members can be seen collecting recycling items and trash wearing blue
shirts and driving white golf cart-type vehicles. Blue Crew members include James
Dimortino, Rafael Lopez, Nicolas Magana,
Gilbert Muffoz, Mike Tili and Green Team
representative Carl Hansen. These guys are
serious about recycling, and a large part of
why we are currently winning RecycleMa-
nia 2007 is because of their dedication. Nothing makes them sadder than to see recyclable
items in the trash, and although they do what
they can to make sure that everything that is
recyclable gets recycled, they do not have the
time to correct every trash can infraction.
"Give them support and a pat on the back,"
said Johnson.
A good way to show support for the Blue
Crew and RecycleMania is to recycle; and
around CSUSM, it is certainly not difficult
to do so. Recycling bins are everywhere,
and almost everything can be recycled.
Only items like yogurt cups, microwavable trays, Styrofoam, plastic grocery bags,
pizza boxes, non-jar and non-bottled glass,
high-gloss paper, napkins, tissue and spiral
notebooks cannot be recycled. Even batteries and printer cartridges can be recycled
on campus. Although our campus has bins
labeled "mixed paper" "bottles" and "cans,"
these are merely suggestions and any recyclable material can be placed in any recycle
bins. Johnson also says that faculty can help
with RecycleMania by doing their spring
cleaning before the contest ends on April 7.
The Facilities Services on campus have a
goal to reach zero waste, meaning that nothing is wasted. Their vision is to create a better
world starting with Cal State San Marcos.
According to statistics on the official
RecycleMania web site, CSUSM i s not only
first place in the grand champion category,
but also in the corrugated cardboard category. In the Per Capita Classic, CSUSM is
currently in fifth place. For more information about RecycleMania 2007 visit www.

�Chargers
c oaching exodus
BY JEREMY ALBERS
Pride Staff Writer
A turbulent off season that
began as soon as the final gun
went off at Qualcomm stadium
Sunday January 14th, culminated
with the dismissal of Head Coach
Marty Schottenheimer. Soon
after the Chargers lost to twotime superbowl MVP Tom Brady
and the Patriots 24-21, the bizarre
happenings began. LaDanian
Tomlinson, who is Mr. Humble in
this age of the attention hoarding
star, took offense to the Patriots'
mimicry of Shawne Merriman's
sack dance on the Bolts logo at
mid-field. Tomlinson openly criticized Patriots Coach Bill Bellicheck for the way his team conducted themselves. A team with
three superbowl rings in this millennium should have a bit more
class, but L.T.'s comments were
uncharacteristic of the reigning
league MVP.
The Chargers had a choice to
make following a record setting
regular season that came crashing down in the playoffs in front
of the record home crowd of
68,810. Could the owners of the
franchise, the Spanos family,
actually fire a coach who had led
this team to win 14 games? The
Bolts two regular season losses
were by three points each, as was
the playoff loss. Coaches matter
most in close games. It's the decisions made in crunch time, when
the game is on the line that defines
a head coach. There is also that
little thing about the post season.
This game is about Superbowl
titles, of which the Chargers have
none.
Marty Schottenheimer is a
winner. He has 200 career regular season victories as a head
coach, sixth all-time. Every stop
has been a successful one. Teams
are better with Marty as head
coach than they were before he
arrived, that isn't in doubt. His
track record speaks for itself. The
problem is the post season. This
year was supposed to be different. With an eye-popping 5 up
and 12 down record in the playoffs, Marty was due to eventually
win one. Even with the best team
in the league on paper, Schottenheimer found a way to lose
when the stakes are highest. His
first playoff loss came during the
second Reagan Administration.
His last win, with Joe Montana
as his quarterback, was when
Bill Clinton was serving his first
term in the White House. He's
lost six straight since 1993. He's
been one-and-done nine times.
They've been tough and close;
eight have been by five points or
less, two have gone to overtime.
The players liked Schottenheimer. Chargers' General Manager A.J. Smith did not. Their
relationship was tenuous and
almost non-existent, even to the
point the two men had an intermediary when communicating.
After the gut-wrenching home
playoff loss to the Patriots many
fans were calling for the coach to
be fired. Schottenheimer had one
year left on his contract and the
offer to extend an extra year was
at a substandard rate. A.J. Smith
did not want Schottenheimer to
stay, that was obvious, but for
continuity's sake offered him one
year at less money than he was
currently making. Marty scoffed
at the offer and was in turn put in
the "lame-duck" category, when
a coach is in his final year. With
questions about their future, the
coaches under Schottenheimer
began a mass migration towards
job security. Offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, whose squad
led the league in points and produced an MVP in Tomlinson,
left to become the head coach
in Miami. Defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, architect of
a defense that led the league in
quarterback sacks, took the head
coaching job in Dallas. Linebacker's coach Greg Manusky is the
new defensive coordinator in S.F.
and tight end's coach Rob Chudzinski will be the offensive coordinator in Cleveland. The whirl
of the coaching carousel led to
even more dissension between
lame-duck Schottenheimer and
GM Smith. Marty wanted his
brother to interview for one of the
coaching vacancies, while Smith
couldn't stand having one Shottenheimer around.
So a month after the Chargers kicked their fans in the gut
one more time, Marty Schottenheimer was canned. The core
of this team is laden with great
young talent that's under contract
till 2009 or beyond. Even so, there
is a window of opportunity for a
team, and this town is eagerly
awaiting the chance to celebrate
a superbowl win. Let's hope GM
A. J. Smith and the Spanos family,
máke the right decisions in getting this team hungry to advance
deep into the playoffs following
the 2007 season.

�Letter to the Editor:
sensa tional journalism
[To The Pride]
I respect that you have taken the duties
of an Editor upon yourself and no doubt
it comes with much stress, however I am
a little worried about the tone of voice in
many of the articles.
Using the headlines "Something must be
done" and "Girl hit by car suffers minor
injuries," seems to be making a big deal out
of little news and reminds me of MSNBC or
FOX news. Sensational journalism is something that a university newspaper should
be trying to stamp out, rather than have
its own editor-in-chief promote it himself.
The press is a powerful tool, often called
the 4th branch of government because of
the power it wields, the use of headlines
that are informative and not inflationary is
paramount to a respectable print.
With a genuine concern for where my
university's newspaper is going,

Pride Staff Writer
Ballast Point Brewing Company is based in San Diego. In
1992, Ballast Point started Home
Brew Mart. In 1996 they decided
to build their own brewery in
the back of their store, and they
started brewing the September of
1996. They not only brew awardwinning beer but they will help
you get started brewing your
own.
Ballast Point currently distributes five award-winning beers,
Yellowtail Pale Ale, Calico
Amber Ale, Big Eye I.P.A., Black
Marlin Porter and Wahoo Wheat.
The one that I chose to enjoy was
the Ballast Point Yellowtail Pale
Ale.
. I was f irst introduced to
Yellowtail Pale Ale in Solana
Beach at the Fish House just
east of the 101 Highway. I was
ordering some of the world best
fish tacos and trying to decide
on a beer to wash them down
with. They have a fairly good
selection of beer there, so I was
having a hard time narrowing it down. I am a sucker for
local brews, so when they told
me that Ballast Point brews
and bottles their beer locally
in San Diego, I was sold. As
I sat down with my f ish tacos
and my own pitcher of Yellowtail, suddenly out of nowhere a
few friends showed up to help
me finish the beer. How they
knew where I was I still don't
know, but, as always, it was a
good time. Everyone enjoyed
the beer and most of my food.
Knowing that the beer didn't
travel more than 25 miles to
make it to my glass, made it
even more refreshing.
They Yellow Tail Pale Ale, is
know as a Kolsch type of beer.
Kolsch originated in Cologne,
Germany. The Yellow Tail
is brewed using wheat and is
pale in color. It is fermented
at warm temperatures with ale
yeast. Yellow Tale tastes like
a pilsner beer, but it has a hint
of fruitiness because of the
Tettnanger hops and ale yeast
that are used, although it is
less bitter than most German
beers. Ballast Point claims
that Yellow Tale is fermented
with yeast that they stole from
breweries in Cologne
Germany. Unlike most
ale, Yellow .Tail f inishes very smooth with
a very mild aftertaste.
In Cologne Germany,
Kolsch Beer is brewed by
21 breweries, which makes
Cologne the city with
the most breweries in the
world. Unfortunately for us,
however, none of those breweries export to the.U.S. So, we
only have a handful of breweries
that brew Kolsch beer and Ballast
Point is one of those. The Yellow
Tale Pale ale is their Kolsch
Beer.
Ballast Point beers are available at Beverages and More,
also you will find there are a few
local bars and restaurants that

have it on tap. You can also visit
the brewery at 5401 Linda Vista
Road suite 406 San Diego, CA.
They will gladly give you a tour
of their facilities. For more information, please visit: www.BallastPoint.com

Pride Staff Writer
In an era where people can
choose the types of media that they
are exposed to, more and more
souls choose to live in a boxed up
frame of mind. They choose what
Internet sites to get their news;
they TiVo the types of television
programs they like, and they only
listen to the music they choose on
their MP3 players. People can now
choose to go throughout life without ever being exposed to a new
point of view. This is why a college education is so important: it
opens up the boxed-in minds of its
students. Cal State San Marcos not
only aims to open students' minds
through diversity-conscious educational programs, but through the
arts events on campus.
On Thursday, February 15, the
Tanosaki-Richards duo performed
for an audience in Arts 111. The
type of music the Tanosaki-Richards duo perform is a perfect
example of music the typical college student would not normally be
exposed to. Tanosaki-Richards's
piano and clarinet npiusic infuses
modern Japanese style music with
experimental sounds that many
people have never before heard.
The duo consists of pianist
Kazuko Tanosaki and clarinetist E. Michael Richards. The duo,
who are married to each other,
have been playing together since
1982. They met while pursuing
degrees at the University of San
Diego. Richards received his Ph.D.
from the University of San Diego
after getting his bachelor degree
at the New England Conservatory
and his masters at Yale School of
Music. Tanosaki has a bachelor
degree from the Kunitachi College of Music in Japan, a masters
from University of San Diego and
a DMA in piano performance and
literature from the Eastman School
of Music. As a duo, they have performed in various prestigious
venues ranging from the Piacenza
Conservatory in Milan, Italy to the
dux>
Lincoln Center in New York City.
The type of piano and clarinet
music they play is unlike anything
heard on a regular radio station. It
is not classical music, and it was
surprising to hear something so
different from instruments that
are so ordinary. They played five
different songs on Thursday, and
before performing, they explained
a little about each song.
The first song they played was
"Jakkyo (Quiet Sounds)" composed by Japanese artist Masao
Honma.- This song was particularly interesting because Richards played two different tones at
the same time with his clarinet.
u
Out Of a Blaze of Light" was
the next song performed. Written
by Japanese composer Hiroyuki
Itoh, the song featured clarinet
quarter tones $nd a multilayered timing technique used by
the pianist. The next two songs
were solo pieces. "Elegy" by
Italian composer Carlo Alessandro Landini was a clarinet piece
that was much more melodic than
the other selections. "Piano Distance" by Toru Takemitsu was
an open form song that Tanosaki
played with precision and emotion. Their final song "Mirror" by
Shirotomo Aizawa was a shorter
piece that had an interesting
haiku sequence within.
The concert was the first of the
Funes Fund Concert Series, which
features performers who provide
new and exciting artistic experiences for Cal State San Marcos
students. This concert series was
established in memory of founding faculty member Don Funes of
the visual performing arts department. Upcoming concerts include
Ho-Asogli, an ensemble featuring
traditional West African drumming and dance on Wednesday,
March 7 at noon, and an Irish session band on Monday, March 12, at
7:30 p.m. Both events will be held
in Arts 111. These concerts are a
wonderful opportunity to break
out and explore the musical stylings of different cultures.

BRIDGE T O
TERABITHIA
BY SARAH PULTZ
Pride Staff Writer
coerced students into reading
one of these literary versions of
the ABC After School Special,
there is a kid who got bored,
gave up, and rented the jnovie.
"Bridge to Terabithia" is certainly one of those children's
books that adults will always
fawn over for its inspiring story
and great literary significance.
However, it is also a book that
children can enjoy simply for its
own sake, and that is a very rare
combination. Katherine Paterson avoids any heavy-handed
moralizing and contrived plot
devices and instead has written
a book that maintains the perfect balance between entertainment and enlightenment, which
is probably why it won a Newberry MedaL
The main character of the
book is Jess, a fifth-grade boy

Movie Review
who is "the only boy smashed
between four sisters" in a poor
family. At school he is the
strange kid who likes to draw.
At home, his mother favors his
sisters, and his father thinks he
is a sissy. One day a girl named
Leslie moves into the farmhouse next door. The family is
different from anything Jess's
conservative small town has
ever seen. Leslie doesn't have
a TV, and she doesn't wear
dresses. She races the boys at
recess time—and wins. Jess
and Leslie become best friends,
and together they navigate their
way through the hazards of
being different. They invent
their own imaginary land, Terabithia, where they are king and
queen. Then one day a catastrophe strikes, and Jess has to deal
with the loss of the only person
in his life that made him happy.
Katherine Paterson's realistic storytelling in this book is
truly inspired. The setting and
characters are based on a rural
community near Washington,
D.C., and the reader gets the
feeling that he or she really
could go visit this small town.
Very few of the characters are
simply flat plot devices, there
to foil the hero and heroine or
move the plot along. Even the
most seemingly insignificant
characters actually have very
complex reasons for the way
they behave. Likewise,, not all
of the problems and challenges
that Paterson creates get neatly
wrapped up and resolved by the
enci of the book. The most powerful part of the book is Paterson's description of the grief and
loss that Jess experiences. She
was inspired to write this book
when her own son's best friend
was killed in a tragic accident,
and her story has an authenticity that could only come from
someone who experienced the
senseless loss of a child first
hand.
It's easy to see why "Bridge
to Terabithia" is such a favorite
of teachers. There are is a lot of
material that could be used for
instruction in the classroom. It
is fairly easy to pick out material that could be used for discussions about characterization,
setting, symbolism and foreshadowing. But even though
they may be learning while they
read, kids will love this book
anyway. It had me completely
absorbed right from the beginning, and by the end I was sobbing like a baby.

Bridge to Terabithia
BY SARAH PULTZ
Pride Staff Writer
"Bridge to Terabithia" is
a favorite of many children
and adults, so i t's no surprise that Hollywood eventually decided to t urn the book
into a movie. However, it is
surprising that the filmmakers missed the opportunity to
turn what is arguably one of
the greatest children's books
of all time into anything more
than a mediocre vehicle for
CGI e ffects. The filmmakers
chose to leave out many of the
most moving and meaningful moments of the book, j ust
to make room for some stunning visuals and intense plot
twists.
While these additions are certainly very pretty
and exciting, they are nothing
more than that—all f luff and
no substance or significance.

bigger role in the movie than
in the book, but this wouldn't
really be a problem if it hadn't
squeezed out some of the better
elements of the book.
The movie falls short in its
depiction of Jess's terrible

with the loss without losing the
amazing g ifts his f riend gave
him. While, the book depicts
Jess's grief with heartbreaking
realism, the itiovie glosses over
these moments. What could
have been some very powerful and moving scenes come
and go in the f ilm without any
real buildup or tension, almost
as though David Paterson
couldn't bear to relive them
in a realistic way. Also, one
of my favorite subplots is the
tension between Jess and his

self worthy of becoming a NASA understandably concerned with the
future welfare of her children rings
true. The audience can see her character develop from a background
character to one that demands the
attention and recognition of Thornton's Charles Farmer. She is the
heart and the anchor of the family, a
position that in life oftentimes lacks
the appreciation it deserves.
Thornton's performance seems
effortless as the brilliant, hardworking aerospace engineer whose
efforts are mocked and reduced to
insane inventions by his detractors.

her dream," Madsen explained.
"She's been married for 27 years,
and [her husband and her] rocket
was a diner. Her husband was a
chef, and he always wanted to
own his own restaurant . .. They
all worked in the restaurant, and
he made his dream come true. It
became their collective dream.
They were the Farmers, and
that's where I got my inspiration
and that's why the story made
sense to me."
Madsen said she can identify with the idea of holding on
to a dream no matter what anybody says. "My rocket was Hollywood," Madsen revealed.
"I wanted to be a professional
actress, and I was a fireman's
daughter. So, that was about as
crazy as building a rocket, but I
believed in myself and so did my
parents."
Of making her own dream
come true, Madsen articulated,
"You get discouraged a lot, but if
you have faith and if you continue
to believe in yourself, it doesn't
matter how long it takes - you'll
get there. It's about longevity. It's
about perseverance."
After years of feeling underestimated by the film industry, Madsen's perseverance finally paid off.
"[The film 'Sideways'] changed
everything," she said. "I think the
most important thing it did for me,
not just being able to choose projects like this, the kind of people I
work with now, but it gave me a lot
of confidence. That was the most
important thing. Going through
an awards season with a movie
like that, I gained a lot of confidence during that experience."
Madsen also attributed some of
her new-found confidence to her
age. "[45] is the best age. There
is more confidence that comes
in your 40s of course. It's such a
great age for women. 'Desperate

A large glowing orb loomed,
emanating pulsating hues of
blue, orange, and red; vintage
aircrafts hovered above; portraits of legends such as Neil
Armstrong, Amelia Earhart,
Charles Lindbergh, and Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. occupied The
Hall of Fame, and the Apollo
9 Command Module Capsule
stood proudly near the entrance
to San Diego Air & Space
Museum. There really couldn't
have been a more suitable setting for the San Diego stop
on the publicity tour for "The
Astronaut Farmer."
"'The Astronaut Farmer'
started out as an independent
[film]," said the film-making
duo the Polish Brothers. "We
made it independently under
Warner Brothers Independent.
That is ideally the best way to
make a studio picture."
The Polish Brothers are
famous for such indie flicks
as "Twin Falls Idaho," "Jackpot," which won the 2001 Independent Spirit Awards, and
"Northfolk," an official selection of the 2003 Sundance Film
Festival.
The brothers, identical twins
from El Centro, California, said
they think about stories in a
similar way. "There hasn't been
anything where I'm like, 'Wow,
that's -incredibly bad. That's
awful * said Michael Polish of
his brother's contributions to
the collaborative process.
"Whoever comes up with the
idea takes the f irst d raft. Or,
w e'll do an outline together,
and then w e'll go do a d raft and
pass it back and forth. Lately,
he's been writing a screenplay
by himself. I've been writing
by myself," Michael explains.
"You still need a clear driver
on d rafts," he continues.
" Let's say, for instance, Mark
does a whole d raft. I 'll read
it and say, 'Maybe these two
characters are sounding the
same. You need to make them
more distinctive or get ride of
them. In a way, I become an
editor for his screenplay, and
he becomes an editor for my
screenplay."
The Polish brothers made
"The Astronaut Farmer" into
even more of a family affair
than usual by casting their
ypung daughters in the roles
of young Stanley and Sunshine
Farmer, Michael's 7-year-old
Jasper, and Mark's 4-year-old
Logan, respectively. Once they
knew they were going to use
their daughters for the roles, the
brothers went back and made
adjustments to the characters of
Stanley and Sunshine. Michael
and Mark knew their strengths
and played to them. They were
nervous about putting their kids
into the roles, however, and
Mark said he doesn't plan on
doing it again.
On working with Virginia
Madsen, who plays Audrey
"Audie" Farmer, wife of rocketbuilding Charles Farmer, the
brothers said she was "great.
Great instincts. A lot of f un.
Good mother. Both of them
together, [Madsen and Thorntori], they were very f un to
watch." Of her character, they
elaborated, "She's the glue in
that family."
A fter they are done prompting "The Astronaut Farmer,"
the brothers' will move on
to science fiction with their
screenplay, "I.D."
BY SOPHIE BRINK
Pride Staff Writer
"The movie isn't really about a
rocket. The movie is about working really hard to make your
dreams come true and never
giving up on your dream against
all odds," said Virginia Madsen
on February 15 at the San Diego
Air & Space Museum in Balboa
Park, which was one stop on the
publicity tour for the film "The
Astronaut Farmer."
Madsen, whose filmography
includes roles in movies such
as "Dune," "The Rainmaker,"
"Sideways," and "A Prairie
Home Companion," not to mention numerous television appearances, said she based the character of Audrey "Audie" Farmer,
loving and supportive wife
of Charles Farmer (Billy Bob
Thornton), who builds a rocket
in his barn and intends to launch
it into space, on her sister whose
dream was to raise children. "She
wanted to be a mother. That was

This adds more than $3,333 to
the debt burden of graduate and
professional students who graduate with a typical [loan] amount."
The proposal by President
Obama comes three days after
the House Republicans suggested
to lower the maximum award of
$5,550 to $4,015 a move Kantrowitz describes as "...part
of a larger package of budget
cuts that seek to cut spending
by $100 billion for the remainder of the current fiscal year."
These significant changes
mean that CSUSM can potentially face losing around $7.2
million in tuition. The institution
plans to send congress a joint letter signed by three other university presidents urging congress
not to approve any cuts. Vaughan
also recommends that students

Watchers of CNN last week
saw that President Barack Obama,
along with House Republicans,
have each proposed separate budget plans for the 2011-12 fiscal
year that, if approved, would include initiatives to cut the federal
Pell Grant program. Currently the
program faces a $20 billion deficit.
The budget posted on the
White House website explains
that the president's cuts would
eliminate the in-school interest
subsidy for graduate students
and limit the total number of recipients receiving year-round
aid, while the House cuts would
reduce the total maximum
amount of the aid. The leaders
have introduced their respective
plans to address the program's
deficit, and CSUSM officials say
that both plans have the potential to affect CSUSM students.
$3,240 in 2011-12, a total decrease of $2,310. To avoid this, the
president is proposing to cut other
student aid funding such as yearround Pell Grants and subsidized
interest on student loans to graduate and professional students.
"Under the president's proposal, the maximum award
would remain at $5,550 while
cuts would be made in other
areas. The year-round benefit
typically only affects for-profit
colleges, which are more likely to have students studying
year-round without a summer
break," explains Kantrowitz.
Eliminating the in-school interest subsidy will likely have a greater impact on CSUSM students as
education begins to cost more.
Kantrowitz writes, "...losing
the subsidized interest benefit will
add $1,676 to each $8,500 loan
balance by the time the student en-
interested in taking action against
these cuts "[F]irst and foremost
contact their representatives and
let them know that students have
a voice and that they be heard."
CSUSM Official statement:
We are deeply concerned about
the proposed cuts to Pell Grants
and both the short and longer
impact these cuts would have on
our students and our region. Well
over 3,000 CSUSM students receive Pell Grants to fund their
college education. Without Pell
Grants, a large number of students may not have the means
to continue their college education denying our region a pool
of skilled and educated workers.

the viewer uncomfortable in
their choices of characters, jokes
and plotlines. Louis CK, Lewis
Black, Patton Oswalt and other
popular comics thrive on jokes
similar to those in The Koala.
In my twelfth semester of college (yes, twelfth), I have never
seen a campus so alive with passion and debate, not to mention
finally a dash of the tomfoolery I
expected (a la "Animal House," a
film that pioneered modern rebellious comedy). But some members of the CSUSM faculty and
student body feel that, as The Koala violates the school's mission,
the publication should be shut
down. It does not. It should not.
The administration is right to
cite the First Amendment and
allow the distribution of The
Koala on campus. Hate speech
must be supported by a legitimate criminal threat to violence,
and The Koala members have
no more history of violent acts
than the creators of South Park.
While lessons in morality are
honorable, students are here to
earn degrees and, in turn, make
more money. CSUSM's largest
major, Business Administration,
exists to maximize profit. The
paper's content is unpolished,
could be funnier and less crass,
but considering what sells in
the comedy world, perhaps The
Koala's writers are Cougars who
are actually applying themselves.

With the Kellogg Library being five floors high and nearly
200,000 square feet, some might
feel that the library is too confusing and won't take the time
to explore what the Cal State
San Marcos library has to offer.
Students who do take the
time to check it out will discover a wealth of resources and
a friendly staff that is eager to
help you with any questions.
Construction for the Kellogg
Library began in 1996 and ended in 2004. It bears the name of
multi-million dollar donors Jean
and W. Keith Kellogg II. Today,
The Kellogg Library is home to
roughly 300,000 volumes, print
subscriptions, e-journal titles,
computer files and e-book titles.
The library's website, http://
biblio.csusm.edu/, contains research databases, an online
card catalog and a live librarian chat, among other services.
Only accessible by the elevator or the stairwell next to Starbucks, thefirstfloorof the library
contains the Math Lab, Writing
Center, and several classrooms.
Most students call the first floor
the "dungeon" because there are
no windows and it is darker than
the rest of thefloors.Because it is
partially underground, cell phone
service on thisfloorcan be weak.
The secondfloorof the library
can be most easily accessed from
the outside doors next to Craven Circle. This particular floor
is home to the media library, the
student help desk and the open
computer lab. The media library
has over 10,000 pieces of "media" and can provide DVDs,
CDs, VHS tapes and even film
editing equipment for research
or recreational use. This section
of the library has several conference rooms equipped with
TVs and media playing devices.
Directly across from the me-*
dia library is the Student Help
Desk where students can rent
out laptops and other media de-
vices for several hours. They
also have separate media rooms
available on a first-come-firstserved basis to students who
are not media or arts majors.
The thirdfloorof the library is
likely most familiar to students.
This floor is the library's central
"hub" where students can check
out books or use the reference
materials. There are seventy-eight
computers that students may use
for research or printing documents. Students can purchase
and load print cards on the third
and the second floors. The third
floor lobby hosts a gallery of student art throughout the semester.
The fourth and fifth floors
are very similar to each other.
Both floors contain most of the
library's books, have multiple
desks around the outer edges
and contain group study rooms.
It is possible to get lost easily on
these twofloorsbecause there are
multiple directions of books and
several relaxing coves with comfy chairs throughout the floors.
On the fifth floor, the Reading Room is a perfect place for
relaxing, reading, and working. Lighted tables, several
sofas, and a fireplace add a
unique and calming ambiance to this room in the library.
For those willing to look
around, the Kellogg Library
truly is an indispensable resource for CSUSM students.

�HOME REMEDIES TO EASE FLU SYMPTOMS
FIGHT T HE FLU NATURALLY
MELANIE SLOCUM
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
It's flu season just in time for
midterms. If you suffer from
needle-phobia and avoided a
flu shot this season, have no
fear. There are a few home remedies that might make your
illness a tad more bearable.
You've probably sedh the
seemingly awkward commercials for nasal irrigation devices
like the Neti Pot (if you haven't,
you should definitely Youtube
it) where a person pours nasal
saline solution from a teapot
lookalike in one nostril and the
liquid inexplicably flows out the
other. Even though this might
seem alien to you, WebMD.com
reports that studies show nasal
irrigation works as an "effec-
tive home remedy" by relieving
nasal flu symptoms and removing bacteria and virus particles.
In addition to the commonly
known remedies such as getting a lot of rest, slurping down
chicken noodle soup and eating
cough drops like they're M&Ms,
Learninginfo.org suggests drinking ginger tea, eating foods
with a lot of garlic and avoiding dairy products. That same
website also suggests that drinking "honey mixed with a quarter
teaspoon of cinnamon powder
taken daily for three days will
help when you have that nagging cough." This will help you
sit through your classes without
coughing over your professor's
voice or onto your neighbor.
If you're developing a Kermit
the Frog voice due to clogged nasal passages, WebMD.com also
suggests using a humidifier
to relieve your sore throat
and ease your nasal congestion. If you don't own a
humidifier and already took
your daily shower, boiling
water over the stove and
draping a towel over your
head while closing your
eyes and breathing deeply
into your nose for 30 seconds creates the same effect.
Remember, you're not a
superhero. Allow others to
take care of you by bringing
you soup, joining you for a
nice couch potato session,
or tucking you into bed. If
a friend or family member
is willing to help you, take
advantage of it and appreciate the rest you receive from
their care—maybe just offer
them a mask and gloves first.

�The 'White Uose memoriaC
Commemorating the sacrifice for freedom
MALLANE DRESSEL
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Feb. 22, marks the 68 anniversary of the execution
of the White Rose resistance
group's
founding members.
The group, comprised of German students and professors,
came together in hopes of restoring the personal freedoms that
Hitler's regime smothered during
World War n . Their non-violent
resistance included distributing
pamphlets they wrote advocating tolerance and justice. Holocaustresearchproject.org
states
that in 1943, the young White
Rose members were swiftly tried
and executed for treason under the Peoples Court in Berlin.
CSUSM remembers their commitment to liberty with a White
Rose memorial on the north side
of the Arts building. Since it was
planted in 2003, the white rosebush encourages passersby to
continue the White Rose legacy of solidarity. Students may
water it from the bucket located at the base of the plaque.
One of the group's only surviving members, Dr. George
Wittenstein, selected a quote
from the German philosopher
Johan Gottlieb Fitçhe for the memorial's plaque. It reads, "And
you should act as though all
things German depended solely
upon you and upon your actions
and as though the responsibility were yours and yours alone."

in Munich, 1942: Hans Scholl,

Probst.

On Saturday, Cal State San
Marcos finished off their extensive opening season doubleheader against Redlands,
dropping the first game 5-2
before outlasting the Bulldogs in a marathon, 19-15.
In the first half, the Cougars
jumped out to a 1st inning lead
when Derrisha Lacey crossed
the plate on a double steal, and
got another run in the 2nd on
a double by Heavin-Lee Rodriguez. But Redlands would
put up 6 runs on CSUSM
ace Brenna Sandberg, while
Bulldogs pitcher Kayla Uphold shut down the Cougars
for the remaining innings.
The second game looked to
be all CSUSM going into the
bottom half of the 7th, as they
led 19-8. The Bulldogs gave the
Cougars a scare in the inning,
though, scoring 8 before Sarah
Beeman tried to stretch a double
into a triple and was thrown
out. Rodriguez went 5-for-5
with 5 RBI in the game, while
Alex Miller went 4-for-4 with
3 doubles, 4 runs and 4 RBI.

THE PRIDE
FOR
Spring training a desert vacation destination
MICHAEL RAWSON
SPORTS EDITOR
Be they diehard baseball
fans, bandwagoners or merely
fans of hot sun and a good time,
gather up the friends, relatives
and kids and head East to Arizona: It's time for spring training.
Every year before Opening
Day, Major League Baseball
players pack their cleats and bats
and head to one of two warm
American locales to train for the
real season. While traveling to
Florida—where fifteen teams,
such as the New York Yankees
and Boston Red Sox, prepare for
the year—may be unrealistic,
Southern California teams play
in our neighboring state. The
Padres share the Peoria Sports
Complex with the Seattle Mariners in Peoria, the Angels play
at Diablo Stadium in Tempe,
and the Dodgers go halves at
Camelback Ranch in Glendale
with the Chicago White Sox.
Getting to Phoenix couldn't be
easier: Head south from CSUSM
to Interstate-8 and go East. Past
Yuma, both the 85 North and 95
North will run into Interstate-10.
The I-10 East runs through
the center of all playing fields.
The hometown Padres head
into this spring training with
much heavier expectations than
last year. Picked by most critics to finish in last place before
the season, the Friars rode their
excellent pitching and wizardry
on defense to finish within two
games of the playoffs last year,
falling on the last day to the
eventual World Series champion San Francisco Giants.
Several new faces will be on
hand in Peoria this year. Wily
veteran Orlando Hudson joins
the infield, while youngsters Ja-
son Bartlett and Cameron Maybin look to make their mark on
the starting lineup. Old-timers
Aaron Harang, Ryan Ludwick
and Brad Hawpe have their sights
set on returning to All-Star form.
Spring training runs from the
last weekend in February to end
of March. Several games are
played every day. Occasionally,
teams divide into "split squads,"
with half the roster playing at
home, and half the roster playing
an away game against a different
team.- If planned right, fans can
see two games played by their
favorite team and simultaneously experience different venues.
Teams have historically kept
ticket prices low for spring training, and while the ceiling has recently gone skyward, dirt-cheap
entry can still be had. Luxury
tickets at brand-new Camelback
Ranch are $45 ,but most parks offer
lawn seating for between $5-$ 10.
Reserving room reservations in advance always keeps
the price low, but lodging can
always be found at a reasonable price. Road-trippers with
deep pockets can take advantage
of deals like the "Steal Third"
deal at the plush Wigwam Resort: Reserve two nights, get
one free. Of course, the first two
nights run at around $250 each.
Nothing during the regular
season compares with spring
training in terms of interactivity. Players are closer and more
available for autographs, and
often stop to casually converse
with fans. The atmosphere relaxes, the grub satisfies and the
beer flows as it rightly should.
Combined with the sunshine and
the crack of the bat, nothing beats
spring training for Spring Break.

Kretchmer throws 6 no-hit innings in return to the mound
KYLE TREMBLEY
C ONTRIBUTOR
Matt Kretchmer threw six innings of no-hit ball as Cal State
San Marcos baseball snapped a
short losing streak on Friday, defeating Azusa Pacific 3-1 at home.
CSUSM improves to 7-5 on
the year. Azusa drops to 6-4. The
second game of Friday's scheduled double-header was rained
out, but the cloudy skies did
nothing to dampen the spirit of
the CSUSM Cougars, who were
anxious to get back in the win
column after four straight losses.
Kretchmer was the story, as
the tall lefty turned in a no-hit effort that was only halted by a high
pitch count and a little wildness.
The senior walked six and a ctu^

became the focus of Cougar
Athletics and the programs became almost instantly successful competing in the National
Association of Intercollegiate
Athletics (NAIA). From their
very first season of competition, the women's golf team
qualified for the NAIA National Championships and
has continued to do so every year since. Overall, between 1998 and 2005, all four

He drew a walk, promptly stole

solid Ryle Parks base hit to center.
Smart worked around an error
to finish out the contest, getting
help from first baseman Austin

over-the-shoulder catch in foul
territory on the game's final out.
The second game lasted two
innings before being rained out.
That game will be scrapped, and
the two teams will play again
on Monday at Azusa Pacific in
a single game starting at 3 p.m.

�SAN DIEGO'S MUSEUM MONTH
CELEBRATES BALBOA PARK
RYAN D OWNS
PRIDE STAFF W RITER
Throughout
February, San Diego celebrates
museum month by offering special pricing to
40 participating museums around the county.
Culture, history and art
thrive in Balboa Park's rich
educational atmosphere and
now can all be enjoyed at a
discounted price with Macy's museum month pass.
With this pass, tickets are available at halfoff original admission
prices for all participating
museums in San Diego.
Some of the biggest
features include the San
Diego Natural History Museum, Hall of Champions
Sports Museum, Air and
Space Museum, Museum
of Man and Museum of Art.
A
complete
list
can be found at sandiegomuseumcouncil .org.
Macy's
department
stores offers this free mu-
seum month pass at its San
Diego County, Temecula or
Imperial Valley locations.
B alboa Park is the central
hub for all of San Diego's
fascinating museums, most
of which have suffered in
the wake of the recession.
This deal should especially interest younger college-age students-who may
have free time to spend
perusing San Diego's most
famous exhibits. This is
the best time of the year to
visit since museums generally become more crowded during the summer.
A public event like this
is probably welcome, even
if it does involve lowering the cost of tickets for
an entire month. If anything, this event appeals
to frequent museum patrons but may also appeal
to Macy's department
store customers as well.
Macy's also plays its
part to raise the museum's
popularity, as it may be
expected ; that customers
shopping at Macy's who
do not normally visit museums may become interested
in attending this event.
Museum month is a
unique opportunity for
average shoppers to help
support our local museums and experience some
fun spending a weekend
in historic Balboa Park.
The Balboa museums presented extensive
amounts of exciting programs recently, most notably an appearance by
famous astronaut, Buzz
Aldrin, at the Air and Space
Museum, which officially
kicked off museum month.
Aldrin's appearance presented the history and state
of space exploration. In addition, Aldrin autographed
copies of his books for fans.

KINGS OF
CONVENIENCE
s
AMY SALISBURY
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Two years ago, when I came up
with the title "Hits of Sunshine"
for this column, I intended the
"sunshine" part to indicate that
the following few paragraphs are
meant to bring a new light to one's
growing music repertoire. Maybe
the reason for my word choice
stemmed from creating it during
the cold, foggy days of mid-winter. Or maybe it was just because
I liked the Sonic Youth song.
With that said, my present
feelings tend toward lengthening
days and warmth. So, for whatever this batch of words turns into,
take "sunshine" as a little reminder that summer is never far away,
even during the coldest of February rain. Plus we're in southern California. We're spoiled.
One of the easiest conduc-
tors of mood is, arguably, music. It can take you to different
time, different places, and different situations entirely. Some
even call music their "escape."
Well, I currently care to escape
from the looming weather; therefore, with my above sunshine
and music library, I will turn to
"Gold in the Air of Summer."
Erlend 0 ye and Eirik Glambek B0e are the indie-driven,
folky duo known as Kings of
Convenience. 0 ye and B0e started performing together with two
friends at the age of 16 in their
first band called Skog, Norwegian for "forest." The duo split
from Skog to pursue a different musical direction, forming
Kings of Convenience and signing a record deal in 1999. Ever
since their first album, "Quiet
is the New Loud," the band has
been known for its parallels to
Simon and Garfunkel, and most
notably, its emotive qualities.
After much critical acclaim
for "Quiet is the New Loud," the
band released "Riot on
an Empty Street" in 2004. The
album broke into the US top 50
charts, but 0 ye and B0e managed to remain below the radar.
0 ye released some solo work
and started another band, The
Whitest Boy Alive, while B0e
focused on his personal life.
"Gold in the Air of Summer,"
off "Riot," begins with an acoustic quietly strumming until two
harmonized voices complement
the chords. 0 ye and B0e speak
of a spontaneous journey to a
"house that used to be / the home
of a friend of mine." Single piano
notes form a melody in front of
the guitar as a light Norwegian
accent flows through the English
words; without the music, the lyr-
ics read like a poem. The guitar
stops, leaving the voices to sing
the title a capella. The music returns and progresses like a warm
breeze would, coming to an almost cliffhanger of an ending.
After five years of waiting,
Kings of Convenience released
their newest album, "Declaration of Dependence," in early
October of 2010. 0 ye will appear with Whitest Boy Alive at
the Coachella Music Festival
in April of this year, and Kings
of Convenience are currently
in the process of rescheduling
tour dates after B0e fell ill during an east coast show according to an unofficial announcement on the band's MySpace.

Looking for a place to unwind
with your friends that is located
within miles of the beautiful Pacific Ocean? Search no further
than the Besta-Wan

restaurant provides a
wide variety of beer

area is pet friendly.
Hidden between

the late 1960s. Today, residents

definitely a favorite spot for surfers , beach lovers or people looking
for cheap drinks and scrumptious
and the slightly campy presentation of clich^d high school situations, the film does a good job
with pacing and the audience is
never left waiting for the action
to begin. However, one cannot
help but laugh at the sheer audacity of the situation the main
character, John Smith (Alex Petty|er), is in and the failure to
c^iate % realistic crisis even in
the midst of pure science fiction.
This is where the movie struggles
to ||onnect( with the audience.
11 As far as acting goes, I will
say that Pettyfer most certainly
hias a future as a Hollywood leading man. His rugged good looks,
accent (yes tidies, he's from Britain|| and|Overall excellentfeting
chops make him botheasy on the
eyes and believable in his role.

screen actors even if the movie
they chose to do this through

Overall, "I Am Number Four"
will not go down in my book as
a complete disaster or a complete
failure. It could have been better and it could have had a more
urgent and believable scenario to
push the characters along. If the
plot contains aliens, thé writers
still need to make the characters
and their plights more relatable
to a human audience, but again, it
was nôt a complete disaster. The

at times. Overall, you will not be

INDEPENDENT STUDENT NEWSPAPER
CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY SAN MARCOS
w ww.thecsusmpride.com
BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
Editor-in-Chief
Almost one month has passed
since anyone last saw Escondido
teen, Amber Dubois, but her face
is a constant fixture throughout
North County as search efforts to
find her are still going strong. This
past weekend, volunteer searches
continued at the search and rescue
headquarters located in an abandoned Escondido warehouse
donated to the Dubois by a concerned citizen.
"We had a 7,500 square foot
building donated to us. We're
doing all of our work out of here,"
Amber's father, Maurine Dubois
said in an NBC San Diego report
on Saturday. "We have a separate
mapping room where things are
coordinated. It's much easier than
trying to work out of a small trailer
in a parking lot."
The command center is located
at 755 N. Quince Street in Escondido, CA and remains open from
8 a.m. to 5 p.m. everyday until
Amber's return.
Hundreds of volunteers assisted
over the weekend in the second
large-scale search effort conducted
since Amber's disappearance.
The fourteen-year-old Escondido High School student was
walking to school on Friday, February 13,2009 on North Broadway
in Escondido. Two family friends
reported seeing Amber a mere 300
yards from the school's gate at 7:10
a.m. Amber was carrying a handful of Valentine's Day gifts to give
to her friends. Hours lajter, school
officials called Amber's family to
report that she had not shown up
for her classes.
"I will have continuous, 100percent hope until you completely
prove it to me, there's a reason not
to," Maurice Dubois said during a
press conference. "I will never give
up hope. Amber, if you're out there,
you can guarantee I will never stop
until we have found you and you're
back home with us."
On Feb. 28, Amber's story
appeared on the popular American
crime stoppers show, "America's
MostWanted."
The Escondido Police Department reported that exposure on the
show helped generate tips.
The Klass Kids Foundation is
now involved in the search effort

as well. Marc Klass, the program
founder, is the father of Polly
Klass, who was kidnapped from
her home during a slumber party
and murdered in 1993.
"The family has to keep the hope
alive. They have to be the ones that
are going to inspire others to go
out and look for their child. If the
family gives up, everybody gives
up," Klass said, NBC reported.
The Dubois family recently
increased their reward offering to
$60,000, with $50,000 for information leading to their daughter's
safe return and $10,000 for information leading to the arrest of the
person or persons responsible for
her disappearance.
Anonymous individuals and
businesses donated the reward
money to the family.
"[The family] wants to get Amber
home alive, therefore the majority
of money has been allocated to that
end," Klass told reporters at a news
conference outside Escondido High
School on March 4, according to the
SanDiegoUnionTribune. "Butthey
also understand that there might be
darker scenarios and that that might
not be possible."
Both Klass and Brenda van Dam,
whose daughter Danielle van Dam
was kidnapped and murdered seven
years ago, are said to be helping the
Dubois family with search efforts.
"I know this community has
come together once before to help
our family find closure," said
Brenda van Dam, reported by the
North County Times. "I'm asking
that you please do it again for this
family."
Though police say there is no evidence to suggest Amber was kidnapped, her parents and family attest
that Amber was not the type to go
anywhere without contacting them,
telling the North County Times that
for her to run away would be "completely out of character."
In fact, Amber was looking forward to bringing home a lamb
she planned to raise as part of her
school's Future Famer's Association
project on the day she disappeared.
"She would not have given up
that lamb for anything," Amber's
mother, Carrie McGonigle said,
according to CNN. "She's a wholesome kid. She doesn't run amok
like most teenagers. She did not
run away, I guarantee it."
In addition to police efforts, the
family hired private investigator,
Bill Garcia.
According to Garcia and Escondido police, Amber's phone was
last on for a few seconds on Feb.
14,2009 when someone turned the
phone on in an attempt to access
the voicemail and then shut off the
phone. The phone was not on long
enough for police to determine its
location. Amber sent her grandmother several text messages and
one to a friend before she left for
school the morning of her disappearance.
Police and search efforts so far
yielded little leads.
On Feb. 20, Amber's family
held a candlelight vigil in front
of Escondido High. The North
County Times reported approximately 200 people attended the
vigil wearing t-shirts with Amber's
name and picture on them.
At the vigil, Taylor Doyle, a lifelong Mend of Amber's, told the
North County Times, "Amber's not
the type to not go to school."
Another friend of Amber's in
attendance at the vigil was Hailey
Kosinski. Kosinski described her
friend to CNN as someone who
is "sort of shy when youfirstmeet
her, but once you get to now her,
she's the kindest person you'll ever
meet."
"It's the most horrible, gutwrenching feeling to know your
friend is out there and there's nothing you can do tf help her," Kosinski said. "You feel so powerless."
The family has put together a
website, wwwlbringamberhome.
com, that features up-to-date information related to the case, hotline/
contact information, and downloadable search flyers.
On the website, the family also
thanks those involved in the rescue
effort.
"We cannot express enough our
heartfelt gratitude to every individual, church, religious organizations, and searchers holding a
good thought and keeping Amber
and her safe return to her family in
their prayers."
"Thank you for helping to break
through the darkness by being one
of the lights that will bring our
Amber home."
"We cannot bear the thought of
life without her."

gist).
If you
see
me on
c ampus,
ask me, it's quite the
tale.
So let's just say
that you do decide
to go through with
a
schmorgasbord
of food and sex, at least make
it romantic as opposed to a pig
out session. Just remember to
keep in mind that the food does
not come first and it shouldn't
be the main driving factor to
involve food in your sexual
experiences.
Although it does sound amazing to eat bacon and donuts off
your lover (yes, you know I'm
talking to you, you manly Soviet
man), make sure that that's not
the only reason as to why you're
doing that. Because chances
are, if that's all you want out of
this experience, you're probably
going to get punched in the face
and I'm sure that situation can
be easily recreated with a big
packet of bacon, box of donuts,
and a lonely night with a porn
tape (or DVD.. .maybe Blu-Ray,
depending on how realistic you
wish it were). Remember that
sex is still a bond between you
and your partner, not a bond
between you and a 12oz sirloin.
If you do involve food in
some way, make it special and
use food that is sensual. Use
fruit or anything sweet, like
chocolate, please remember
how your body reacts to certain substances/foods. Keep
in mind that couples should
be careful to not introduce any
sugary foods into the vagina
because this could potentially
cause yeast infections, for
example.
If you do decide to pull off
a daring sexual experience,
remember that your partner
comes first (pun intended,
again). So whether it be eating
cereal out of the dimples of your
partner's ass or playing with
some Fruit Roll Up, remember
that it's for passion. Bon(er)
appétit (sorry, immature, I
know)!
THE PRIDE
The pursuit of a good pair of headphones
BY BILLRHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
Anyone who has seen
me walking around
campus will recognize
the fact that I constantly
have some type of headphones attached to my
ears. I cannot j ustify
this behavior other than
to point out that I truly enjoy the
music or podcasts on my iPod.
What I can say is that I have gone
through many pairs of headphones and know a thing or two
about finding a good pair.
I have no bias between ear buds
or headphones for I had many
good sets of both. One could buy
a high-end headset and certainly
be satisfied. But I do not know
many college students who have
room for Bose headphones in
their budget. The pairs I recommend offer great sound quality
and comfort and will not break
the bank.
First of all, if you are listening
to your iPod, the buds it came
with are decent. They are comfortable and offer good quality.
The problem is they are more
fragile than most ear buds. I have
broken several headphones and
many of them were iPod buds.
Thus I will point out several that
are also durable. But the iPod
buds are a good starting point
As an aside, I would quickly
point out that if you have an mp3
player, I would be in shock if it
were not an iPod. Though iPods
are a bit more expensive, you get
your money's worth due to the
fact they are easy to use, have
the best software, iTunes, and are
backed by Apple's service.
A step up from the iPod buds
are the cheap Sony ones that
can be found everywhere
from Long's to Best Buy.
I cannot find what they
are called, but they are
under $10 and are the
blue or red buds that
clip on to the ear.
They may look
cheap, I was even
h esit ant
a bout
buying them, but
they are very comfortable and offer
great sound. The
only time I broke
a pair was when I
stepped on them.
At $10, they are not
a major investment
and will last.
If you prefer headphones, look no further than the Phillips SHS390.
These behind-the-head headphones offer comfort and quality.
They run between $10 and $15 at
most stores and come in either
black or white.
These
will
last
long time as long as
you do not sit on them or yank on
the cord. When it comes to headphones, I like these ones, which
only have one cord coming up to
the ear, rather than the type that
branch into two.
Lastly, if you want DJ, overthe-ear type, get the Jensen
JHF-310 DJ Headphones, if you
can find them. They are the best
headphones I have ever had, but
the makers discontinued t hem/
They can be found for about $20
to $35 online from time to time.
They fold up and have great quality and are super durable.
If those cannot be found, try
Sony MDR-V150 DJ Headphones,
which have the same sound quality, but lack the features of the
Jensen pair and have a really long
cord.
To find a good pair
of headphones,
be sure they are
solid and protected near the
ends of the
cord to avoid
breakage. Try
some that look
c omfortable,
but be sure to
keep the receipt
and do not be
afraid to return them.

C ar accidents
BY SANDRA CHALMERS
Senior Staff Writer
No one ever wants to get into an accident, so what should you do if you find
yourself in one? Here are some helpful
tips for being prepared in an accident.
Staying prepared:
It is California law for drivers to
always carry Proof of Insurance or Proof
of Financial Responsibility, for most
that means having your insurance card
on hand. Make sure to have your insurance agent's contact information as well
as a copy of your insurance policy. In car
accidents it is important to understand
what your auto insurance policy covers,
so you'll know exactly how you are protected. Are you covered if an uninsured
driver hits you? What are your insurance
limits? These are questions you want to
know the answers to before an accident
occurs.
Another way to stay prepared is to have
a car safety kit stored in your car. This
safety kit most likely comes with cones
for directing traffic, a flashlight, and pen
and paper for making notes and exchanging information. It is also wise to have
a camera on hand to photograph any
damage, street signs, and license plates of
any other cars involved.
Keeping emergency telephone numbers, as well as a note of any medical
allergies you may have in the case of
medical assistance is another important
precaution.
When an accident occurs:
If you are in an accident you are
required by law to stop, whether the accident involved a pedestrian, a parked car,
or even property. According to the 2007
State Bar of California, if you do not stop,
you can be charged with a hit-and-run
even if the accident was not your fault.
"The number one thing to do is to
check for any injuries, with yourself, the
other driver, and as well as the car," says
CSUSM's Chief of Police, Ronald Hackenberg. "The first call that needs to be
made is to 911."
If there are any suspected injuries for
T HE PRIDE
How to d eal
either party, notify medical authorities
right away.
"You have to be very aware and alert of
other vehicles coming from behind you,
especially on the highway," says Hackenberg.
If the accident does occur on the highway, Hackenberg suggests moving your
car to a safer location if possible or stand
behind a guardrail for protection until
help arrives. Put out cones to help other
drivers be more aware that an accident
has occurred.
Exchange information with the other
party such as names, phone numbers, and
insurance company information. Take
note of the license plate number, make,
model and year of the other driver's car,
and his/her driver's license number.
Record the time, date and location
of the accident, note street signs, the
weather and exactly how the accident
occurred, and try, if possible, to get witnesses' names and phone numbers as they
may come in handy in trying to piece how
the accident occurred.
When police arrive, note the officer's
badge number and do not admit fault
anything you say could be recorded and
later be used against you, so before taking
the blame consult with your insurer or a
lawyer.
If an accident concerns a parked car
or property damage, you must make an
effort to locate the owner. If you cannot
the law states that you can drive away
only after leaving behind your name,
number, address, and an explanation of
the incident.
After an accident:
Request a copy of the police report of
the accident for your records. When it is
determined who was responsible for the
cause of the accident, compensations may
be made for personal injuries, car damages and even lost wages, all depending on the type of coverage both parties'
insurance policies have. Keep in constant
communication with your insurer and
speak with a lawyer for any legal advice
concerning the accident or making an
insurance claim.
Exclusive interview with ASI President
BY DIANA VALDI VIA
Pride Staff Writer
Recently The Pride had the opportunity to interview our current Associated Student Inc. President, Alexander
Hoang.
Diana Valdivia: Tell us about yourself.
Alex Hoang: My name is Alexander
Hoang and I am your ASI President &
CEO. I'm studying Business Administration /Management. I am an
i nterna- ^ ^ ^
tional traveler that
seeks
to bring people
together ^ ^ K r
through my profesH H P sional & personal
experience. Oh
and I love
my mommy's cooking.
Valdivia: Almost a year ago you were
elected as ASI President. What made
you want to run for this position?
Hoang: From the moment I set foot on
CSUSM, I fell in love with it. I knew this
intimate learning environment would
transform my life, and I wanted to make
a positive impact on At as well. Many
students expressed their personal confidence in my leadership and shared with
me how I helped their lives through my
roles as a resident advisor, an orientation team member, and active member of
various clubs. As a natural advocate, I
decided to step up to the next level for
all students.
Valdivia: What do you
think is the biggest issue
facing CSUSM students at
this time?
Hoang:
The
biggest
issue facing students is
affordability and
access

^
at
CSUSM.
The economic
crisis is taking
its toll on students and the
______
budget
cuts
Photo by Diana Valdivia have limited
enrollment. Parking permit prices and
textbooks are extremely high, availability of parking is troubling, and the offering of fewer class sections are delaying
graduation rates.
Valdivia: As ASI President, what
are you doing to help students with
this issue?
Hoang: I asked President Haynes for
help regarding parking permit prices
when I f irst stepped into o ffice and with
the help of ASI advocacy, she cut the
proposed increase by $35 dollars for the
next academic year. I also advocate on
a statewide level for our students and
have led a textb.ook affordability resolution that recently passed and is in the
works at our home campus. I've also
spearheaded the coded memorandum on
shared governance for our CSU. This
ensures the accountability of having a
student on an administrative committee
/ initiative to voice the student perspective.
Valdivia: What is your stand on the
idea and planning for the new University Student Union?
Hoang: The USU is an awesome legacy
in the process. It will clearly benefit the
whole community at CSUSM. Faculty
and staff in our administration should be
included in the fee implementation, not
just students, since it will enhance our
community as a whole.
Valdivia: What has been the best
part of being ASI President?
Hoang: The best part is standing by
the side of my fellow students each day.
To give my best, everything that I am to
engaging, empowering, and serving students is a true honor and privilege,
Valdivia: What has been the biggest
challenge as ASI President?
Hoang: The biggest challenge is the
learning curve. I have stepped up to
this challenge by professionally developing the board and creating an ASI
101 living transition manual so that any
f uture student chosen by their constituents to lead will be quickly supported in
order to deliver results for the students
of CSUSM.
Valdivia: Any additional thoughts
you would like to share with students?
Hoang: ASI is here for you if you
seek anything on your home campus
to be improved, enhanced, or changed,

Alternative fuel vehicles are in your future
Are you torturing yourself with lack of sleep?
BY BLAINE H. MOGIL
Pride Staff Writer
BY JAMES SEBRING
Pride Staff Writer
Although the small scale nuclear
reactor found in a Delorean may
sound like a nice alternative for
fossil fuels, until we get a fully functional Flux Capacitor this just won't
be a viable option. Don't despair as
plenty of realistic options are in the
works with many already on the
road Fossil Fuel freedom includes
options such as Fuel Cell Technology, Ethanol, Electric Hybrids and
even Algae. Could Algae become a
viable fuel source for cars?
While Algae may not propel
your car with the power of 1.21 jiggawatts, if it can power a 747 it's
probably got the potential to get your
Scion moving too. In order for algae
to be used as fuel in vehicles, it must
be processed in a manner similar to
converting oil into gasoline. According to Dave Demeqian writing for
wired.com, "PetroSun Biofuels has
opened a commercial algae-to-biofuels farm on the Texas Gulf Coast..."
and continues "Of all the options for
future jet biofuel production, algae is
considered one of the most viable."
In this same article the viability of
using biofuels is given credence as
in early 2008 "Virgin Atlantic flew
a 747 partially powered by coconut
andbabassu oil." The CEO ofVirgin
Atlantic has become deeply concerned about the environment and is
taking a leadership role in promoting
alternative fuels. —
In an article by Mike Magda on
autobloggreen.com "Branson says

theuse ofbiofuels shouldbe expanded
to many industries. Branson's Virgin
transportation companies, including
Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Trains,
are going to reinvest profits into
renewable energy, and Virgin Fuels
is expected to be a beneficiary. The
company was already into bioethanol production and researching other
alternative fuels." Perhaps Branson
may be looking at the profit potential
of alternative fuels even as he claims
a concern for the environment One
may question Branson's real motivation, but it would be very hard to
say that he is all talk. He is taking a
very strong leadership role in creating a more environmentally friendly
option to fossil fuels.
While algae may become an
excellent substituteforfossil fuels in
the future, other options are already
on the road, and more are coming
soon from major auto manufacturers. There are already Hybrid Elec-
tries, Flex Fuel vehicles, Natural
Gas Vehicles, and Biodiesel cars
commercially available to purchase.
And without regard to the form of
transportation, these alternatives to
fossil fuels can be adapted to work in
planes, trains and automobiles. And
don't forget about the possibility of
pure electric cars.
GM hasn't forgotten about pure
electrics in spite of having pulled the
plug on the EV1, thefirstcommercially available modern electric car.
According to the Chevy web site the

Is there chemistry between students
and the new C HEM 2 50 lab?
Tuesday
March
10, 2009
BY PRISCILLA GEORGE
Pride Staff Writer
Despite budget cuts and cancelled
classes, Dr. Karno Ng teaches a chemistry laboratory course never before
offered by CSUSM.
Background Info; Previously, both
chemistry majors as well as pre-med students would take the CHEM 250 course
and pair it with CHEM 275, a threecredit course including a class and lab.
Students who did not fall into this category would generally take no accompanying lab with the CHEM 250 course.
This method worked well for quite some
time. However, it was actually a hindrance for non-chemistry majors. This
is because non-chemistry majors such
as pre-med students were not required
to take CHEM 275 but just needed
an accompanying lab for professional
degree purposes. Therefore, instead of
taking a 1-credit lab, no alternative was
given, forcing them to take on a course
they really did not need. For chemistry
majors, however, taking the required
CHEM 275 in conjecture with CHEM
25Ò allowed them to save time.
Lab's Purpose: As a remedy to this
dilemma, a new CHEM 250 lab was
developed this year. The lab "was primarily designed as a means for students
who are not chemistry majors to get a
second semester of 'general chemistry
lab' for the purpose of applying to medical school or other graduate or profes-
sional programs for which two semesters of general chemistry lab are prerequisites," said Dr. Michael Schmidt,
the current Chem 250 course instructor.
None of this makes any difference to students who are neither chemistry majors
or pre-med students, since they can still
take the CHEM 250 lecture without the
lab, just as before.
I nstructor Highlight: Dr. Karno Ng
currently teaches the new CHEM 250
lab. Dr. Ng has a Bachelor's of Science
in Chemistry and had the honor of being
Summa Cum Laude (3.8 GPA average),
has a PhD in Analytical Chemistry and
an MBA. She was also the 2007/2008
recipient for the President's Award for
Excellence in Teaching and Learning
from CSUSM. Because of her expertise
in Analytical Chemistry and her substantial qualifications, she was given thé
prestigious honor of creating the CHEM
250 lab from scratch. Dr. Ng says it is
a lot of hard work but this opportunity
is a privilege. She employs a variety of
educational tools such as worksheets,
pre-lab quizzes, the Vermier Software
Program for certain experiments, inclass quizzes, lectures expounding upon
the next week's lab and mini-lectures
the day of the lab to reiterate important
points and reminders. "The new CHEM
250 lab will usually be offered every
spring while the CHEM 250 lecture will
most likely be offered in both fall and
spring semesters," Ng says.
Lab Response: Students have both

the Chem 250 lab. Since this is a new
lab, many unforeseen problems arise
causing confusion. Understandably,

Junior Jennifer Oberschmid thinks "it's

Horror films used to be about
building tension and keeping
viewers on the edge of their seat.
Now, since films like "Saw" and
"Hostel," horrorfilmshave become
all about blood and mutilation.
Real thrills in horror films come
from fear leading to the violence,
not the actual deaths. This film has
potential if it can maintain a high
level of anxiety in viewers.

University Student Union Student Forums
As Cal State San Marcos continues to grow and approach its 20th anniversary, we are
exploring options for constructing a facility for campus life, programming, social
interactions, and leadership development that will impact the entire campus community.
The proposed University Student Union (USU) project will enhance the quality of campus
life by providing a mix of informal gathering spaces, retail and food services, and venues
for events. However, an increase to the existing Student Union fee would be necessary to
support construction and ongoing operational costs associated with the facility.
CSUSM will be utilizing an alternative consultation process which provides opportunities
for student, faculty, and staff input regarding the proposed USU building and student fee
increase through forums and a website (http://www.csusm.edu/usuA designed to be both
educational and a means to obtain feedback. This feedback will then be compiled into a
report and presented to the Student Fee Advisory Committee and President Haynes.
Your participation is crucial to the process since the proposed University Student Union
will have broad implications affecting many aspects of campus life. By attending one of
the forums, you will have an opportunity to learn more about the proposed building, view
artist renderings, ask questions and provide us with your thoughts and ideas.
The open student forums are scheduled as follows:

A Neverending Story Popcorn storytelling
It all started when Paige decided
to leave Cole in charge of making
reservations. If maybe she had
called herself or enlisted a five
year old, maybe, then maybe, we
wouldn't be where we are right
now.
"This whole trip was your dumb
idea, remember? Don't blame
me." Paige says to me before she
crosses her arms and drops down
on a stump in the dirt.
I glare at Cole, while Amy and
Kimberly play Go Fish in the
truck bed.
"How in the world is this my
fault?"
"Well, it's not mine and now
Bryan and Tim are missing."
Back over winter break, I suggested that we all get together
like the old days for a road trip.
Paige thought it might be nice to
rent a cabin by the lake over the
spring break. Everyone agreed.
For months, I looked forward to
it. I didn't mind mid terms and I
sure as hell didn't worry about all
the money I would essentially be
wasting that could be put to better
use like for bills and food.
Four minutes into the trip, I
knew it was a bad idea.
"What do you mean, we have
to sleep in tents?" Amy and Kimberly said in near unison.
"I mean, Cole forgot to make
reservations for the cabin so we
have to sleep in tents." I clarified.
"Oh really?" Amy said, then
leaned over and gave Cole a Wet
Willie.
Kimberly glared at her.
By day three, everyone was
ready to cut the trip short and
Bryan broke the news that he had
to be back at work the next afternoon.
The other tents were packed by
the time I woke up.
Paige shook me out of sleep
sometime during the night. Her
hair was in a braid and she was in
the same overalls and white taiik
top she had been in since we left
Bryan's house to come up here.
She kissed me on the cheek and
told me to rise and shine.
Truth be told, I was pretty sick of
the dirt in myfingernailsand ants
in my food. Tim was going into
withdrawals not having any phone
service and he's pretty lousy when
he doesn't have phone service.
Amy and Kimberly were about
to kill each other and Cole was too
full of himself to try to mediate it.
"This isn't high school anymore, Evan." Paige told me this
afternoon before letting me know
they all decided to give it up and
head back home later tonight.
The campground was pretty
vacant. I remember the park
ranger telling us there were two
other groups checked in for the
week. He handed us a map that
Bryan used for blow his nose and
that's the last I remember seeing
it. The ranger also told us something about what to do in case of
emergencies but it went in one ear
and out the other like when flight
attendants tell you about those
inflatable life preservers on airplanes.
I stumbled out our tent and
combed my greasy hair back.
I was helping Cole load the
boat on the trailer while Paige,
Tim, and Amy were playing on
the dock. Tim was trying to push
the girls into the lake while they
screamed and protested. Tim lost
his balance on the foot of the dock
and grabbed Paige's arm for support. Both of them crash landed
into the chilly water.
I heard Paige's screeches while
Amy laughed. Then I heard her
cursing and I knew something
was up.
"The keys! They're gone!" Paige
kept saying over and over before
adding, "I hope you brought scuba
gear because we aren't leaving
without those keys."
"Don't be so dramatic," Amy
Word(s)
\
said. "We'll just call someone to
come get us;"
"How? With smoke signals?"
Four hours passed, which lead
me here with Bryan and Tim missing and Paige treating me like we
never broke up, attitude and all.
Cole leans over to me as I stare
out ahead, trying to think.
"This is bad, man. What are we
gonna do?"
I try to keep myself calm
because I know everyone else is
freaking out because it's dark outside. I know the practical thing
to do would be to sleep and then
worry about finding a phone in
the morning but no one wants to
do that.
"Why don't you stay here with
the girls and Paige and I'll go find
the guys and get to a phone."

are meat options that are filling but do not
cause drowsiness like fried food options.
One misconception that people have is
that food from school cannot taste good,
or at least cannot compete with the quality
of an outside restaurant. This is an unfortunate misconception that students carry
over from elementary school, when abominations like "haystacks" and square pizza
were the best options.
However, nothing could be further
from the truth in this case. Want proof? If
people really think outside food is better,
they will be happy to hear that the chefs at
Sushi 101 are from the San Marcos branch
of Sushiya, a popular sushi bar chain.
In fact, much of the menu that regular
Sushiya customers love remains intact for
this tiny but delicious sushi spot in the Big
Cat Food Court. So why not try something
new for lunch that does not require microwaves or fryalators? Sometimes new experiences can lead to life-long love affairs,
even in the case of raw fish.
Jones Soda Blue Bubble Gum
Every kid's d ream, liquid b ubble gum
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Senior Staff Writer
Jones Soda manages the
production of their product
in Seattle, Washington. Peter
van Stoll| founded what would
eventually become Jones Soda
in 1987. The company gained momentum in 1994 when the Jones brand name
became widely available due to the support from a large distributor. Jones Soda
became the official name for the company in 2000. The company began with
only sixflavors.Currently, the company
has 20flavorsamongst a slew of different beverages including energy drinks.
Jones Soda can be purchased individually, in
4 packs, and even in 24
packs. A singe bottle
of Jones Soda retails
for about a dollar
and a half. Finding
the beverage might
be trickier than finding
more popular brands
of soda such as Coke or
Pepsi. However, BevMo
stores offer a great selection.
A unique characteristic about Jones Soda
the random photos on ea
bottle. The pictures ran
from a close up of a bee
a crashing ocean, and
pretty much anything and every-
thing in between. The beverage
company selects pictures submitted by customers. Making the distinctive characteristic even more
amazing is the fact that customers can special order a 12 pack of
Jones Soda with their own photo
and quote for $30.
A slight mist escapes from the chilled
bottle after opening the sealed cap. Under
the cap reads, "Be an angel. Save a life."
The vibrant color blasts beautiful blue rays
into every direction. The fluid releases a
scent very similar to a package of Bubblicious Blue Bubble Gum. The kid inside
jumps for joy as the blueberry flavored
soda gently massages all areas
of the mouth before passing on. The tongue cannot
help but rub the lips as the
taste buds excitedly beg for
more Jones Soda.
"It smells so sweat! It's
almost like a cream soda.
It kind of takes you back
to your childhood a
little bit. I don't know
exactly how, but it
does," said Senior
Business major Bryan
Spangenberg.
Make sure to chill
Jones Soda to maximize pleasure. Ice
might water down
the wonderful tasting drink. Cheers
mates!

Contributing Writer
The endeavor of acquiring an
education can be exhilarating and
fulfilling, yet it also can be stressful
and require sacrifices. We often have
to suspend other important aspects of
our lives, such as employment, relationships, and leisure activities. When
students cope with the difficulties
and share in the excitement together,
the educational pursuit can become
much easier. Support is available on
the campus of CSUSM.
Support groups bring together
people who share common concerns
and help each person to cope more
effectively. In a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere, students assist each
other with personal and educational
challenges. Through shared understanding and the exchange of ideas
with peers, students in support groups :
• experience a sense of control
over their lives
• reduce the feeling of isolation.
• obtain a better perspective on
their problems
• have the opportunity to discuss emotions
• share and reinforce positive
coping skills.
To join a CSUSM support
group, simply be there. With no fee
or obligation to attend every week,
just come when you feel the need.
Support groups meet in Room 5205,
Craven Hall in the Student Resource

University Employee/Students Pay
Lower Fees
True or false...? University
employees who are also students at
CSUSM (UES) pay full fees including tuition and other expenses.
What? You guessed incorrectly?
That's right! UESs do not pay nary
the amount of fees that full or even
part-time students pay.
How much do the UES pay,
you might ask? Well, the grand
total is $3 per semester up to six
units. Yes sir, three bucks. One
dollar is allotted for Student Unibtf
fees, one dollar is earmarked for
Health Facilities, and the last dollar
is allocated for Student Body Associated fees.
But wait...aren't the UESs
entitled toafewperks? Ofcourse,
sure, but should they be completely exempt from paying fiill
fees, especially student fees, since
after all, they are students?
The ironic part is that it is
entirely possible for the UESs to
rlin for an elected position on the
Associated Students council. This
means that the UES who pays
nominal fees, at most, is given
the responsibility of representing
full-fee-paying students.
I 'm not suggesting that the
UESs are not entitled to repre-
sentation on the A.S. council; a student is a student is a student, no matter
how great or small the monetary contribution to a c&sh-strapped system.
But a conflict arises when those
who do not contribute monetarily are
able to participate fully in the programs sponsered by the rest of the
fundingpopulace, simply because they
are students.
Perhaps the university, during
this time of financial dire straits, would
reconsider its position of favoritism
towards its employees and commit
the UESs to paying their fair share of
fees.

Poli Sci Candidates demonstrate
teaching styles
Amy Glaspey
Staff Writer
Even candidates for faculty positions at
CSUSM have to pass a challenging test—the
teaching test.
The Political Science Department is in
the process of hiring a new faculty member to
teach in one of two categories: Political Behavior and American Politics or Public Law
and Political Theory. Before a faculty member is accepted, he or she must pass a teaching
test.
"Here at CSUSM, a faculty member's
main responsibility is teaching. We put the
candidates in an environment where we can
evaluate their teaching," said Dr. Peter Zwick,
head of the Political Science Department.
Friday, March 4th and Monday, March
7th, two candidates demonstrated their teaching styles in front of CSUSM students. Dr.
Helena Silverstein joined six students last
Friday to discuss contemporary constitutional
law issues in a seminar format. Monday, Dr.
Louis DiSipio, presented a lecture on Latino
voting patterns to a senior seminar class of
twenty.
Dr. Zwick said that putting candidates in
an actual classroom setting serves two purposes. "First we are inviting student reaction.
Second, we are watching and evaluating their
performance in that setting."
After Silverstein and DiSipio's presentations, Dr. Zwick invited students to give him
feedback on the candidates performance and
teaching style.
"Traditionally, major universities invite
top candidates to a seminar," Zwick said.
Candidates will then "make a formal presentation of their research containing lots of
data" to the decision-making committee.
Sometimes graduate students are invited to
the seminar.
The Political Science Association, a
CSUSM student organization, was actively
involved in bringing the candidates closer to
the students. In lieu of a scheduled Political
Science class Friday March 4th, the PSA
gathered together students to sit in with Dr.
Silverstein. "The PSA was really helpful in
getting people to come out and listen," Zwick
said.
These classroom presentations were the
final step in a candidate selection process that
began last fall. When the Political Science
Department obtained authorization to hire a
new faculty member the decision making
committee (Dr. Zwick, Dr. Golich and Dr.
Thompson) announced the position in a trade
publication called "American Political Science Personnel Service Newsletter."
They also "put the word out" to other
universities.
The committee continued their search in
Washington D.C. at the American Political
Science Association's meeting in September
1993.
* The APSA meeting hall was a virtual
'meat-rack* said Dr. Zwick, where candidates and universities looking for faculty met
for interviews. Dr. Zwick, Dr. Golich and Dr.
Thompson spent time at the meeting "getting
the word out and looking for a good candidate."
Applications and resumes rolled in last
fall. Over winter break the committee evaluated the applications and broke candidates
down to a short list of twenty then into a
shorter list of eleven.
"Since all eleven looked good on paper"
it was time to conduct in-depth phone interviews to further evaluate the contenders. Economics Professor Arnold joined the team.
The committee spent one-half hour on a
speaker phone with each of the eleven finalists to evaluate their "personality, interests
and how they came across verbally." These
phone sessions "added another dimension to
the selection process," said Zwick.
Financial constraints prohibited inviting
more than two candidates to visit CSUSM for
final interviews and classroom performance
tests. The Political Science Department has a
total selection budget of $2,000 to cover
airfare, food and lodging for all of the candidates combined.
Dr. Helena Silverstein is currently a professor of Government and Law at Lafayette
College in Pennsylvania. She earned her Ph.D.
at the University of Washington. Silverstein's
academic interest is "Legal Mobilization"
(using the legal process as a means of social
change).
Dr. Louis DiSipio is a p rofessor at
Wellesley College in Massachusetts. He
earned his Ph.D. at the University of Texas in
Austin. His area of expertise is elections and
political behavior.
Who will make last cuts? Silverstein or
DiSipio? Will the selection c ommittee's
choice coincide with the students' favorite ?
The word is not out yet. The final decision
will be made early this week. When the hiring
process is complete, The Pride will publish a
profile of our new political science faculty
member.

�Part 1: HPV—what is it?
Human Papillomavira virus
Joel Grinolds, MD, MPH
T T f you read this column frequently you
I might be wondering why I am writ
J L ing about another sexually transmitted disease. In reality, I have no idea how
many people actually read this column. Recently, I have written about other current
health concerns; however, the subject of this
column, Human Papillomavira Virus (HPV)
infection, has become a very common and
important health problem to the college-age
population. This will also be a first, the first
of a two part column, because HPV infection
is complex and misinformation is common.
Human papillomavira (HPV) is the virus
that causes warts. There are more than 60
types with approximately a dozen types that
can cause warts or subtle signs of infection in
the genital tract. Genital HPV is not a reportable disease so we do not have exact numbers
on how much of the population is infected. It
is estimated that between 500,000 to 1 million new cases of genital HPV occur each
year. It clearly is the fastestrisingviral STD.
Genital HPV is now thought to be more
contagious than previously. It is usually
spread through sexual contact with an infected person, although intercourse is not
necessary to spread the infection. In studies,
two thirds of those with genital warts infected
their partners. It is very likely that genital
HPV infection also can be transmitted when
warts are not present.
When viral infections are transmitted from
person to person the virus infects the top
layers of the skin and can remain inactive or
dormant for a long time. We are frequently
asked for how long? No one knows for sure
but months and may be years can go by before
signs of infection or warts appear. For most
people, warts will appear within three to six
months. Some types of HPV will result in
more visible warts than others. Types 6 and
11 will almost always result in visible warts.
Other types that may infect the cervix of
women may not produce visible warts. Currently, there is no easy test that is reliable,
cost effective, and helpful in treatment that
identifies the HPV type. HPV cannot be
grown in the laboratory and cannot be detected by a blood test.
We also know that when warts or other
signs of HPV occur, a healthy immune system may clear up the warts by itself over a
period of months or years. However, the
HPV may still remain, and recurrence of
warts is fairly common.
When HPV is present in the genital area
without visible genital warts one is considered to have "subclinical infection." It is
becoming very clear that subclinical infections are much more widespread than anyone
would have thought ten years ago. Also, as
research tools become more sensitive in detection of HPV we are finding a greater prevalence in patients with subclinical infection.
Many researchers believe that medical science is for thefirsttime identifying an infectious agent that likely has been widespread in
the population for decades.
What does it all mean? I will address that
in a column soon.
If you are concerned about this health
problem, read the next column and/or contact
your health care provider or Student Health
Services at 752-4915.

If you drive under the influence of
alcohol, or any other drug, you risk the
chance of spending the night in a cold
place. I'm not talking about the smelly
county jail. I 'm talking about that cold
slab at the county morgue. And the worst
thing is next to you could be an innocent
pedestrian, driver of the vehicle you hit,
or even a child, maybe yours! Get the
picture?
DUI, DWI, stupidity, whatever you
want to call it. If you drink alcoholic
beverages you probably have driven under the influence. In San Diego in 1992,
23 people were killed and 542 injured in
alcohol-involved crashes. The sad thing
is this could have been avoided and the
people in those numbers were in the 16 to
20 age group. More than 43 percent of all
16 to 20-year old deaths are caused by
vehicle crashes.
Nationally, enough people die in these
crashes to fill a sports arena. Does a sold
out stadium give you a good idea? We're
talking serious numbers!
Based on the current status of drunk
driving in the U.S., two out of five people
will be involved in an alcohol-related
crash at some time in their lives.
AM I DRUNK? Some people think
you have to be stumbling or falling down
to be considered intoxicated, and unable
to drive. Well we all know that's wrong,
I hope. According to the California Vehicle Code (CVC) a person cannot drive a
vehicle with a .08 percent or more, by
weight of alcohol in his or her blood, and
sometimes as low as .05 percent. This is
only for people 21 years or older. If you
are under 21 and caught with a blood
content of .01, under the new law (SB
689) as of January 1, 1994 your license
will be suspended for one year.
There is no safe way to drink and
drive. Your skills can be impaired with a
blood alcohol content (BAC) of only .02
percent (equivalent of one 12-oz. beer, a
4-oz. glass of wine, or a 1 1/4-oz. shot of
80-proof liquor).
BAC tests measure the percent of alcohol in apersons blood based upon grams
of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood or
grams of alcohol per 210 liters of breath.
These tests are performed by taking a
blood, breath or urine sample. The test is
your choice unless the facility cannot
perform a certain test. If you didn't already know you gave written consent for
chemical testing for alcohol or drugs on
your drivers license application or renewal form.
Did you know that 64 percent of passenger vehicle drivers who are fatally
injured between 9 PM and 6 AM have
BACs at or above .10 percent (the old
legal limit). Drivers with BACs above
.15 percent who drive on weekend nights
risk a 380 times higher chance of being
killed in a single vehicle crash than non
drinking drivers. For the average male
(170-189 lbs.) that's about 1.5 drinks an
hour. And for the average woman (110129 lbs.) you're at risk after 1 drink an
hour. And if you're tired, drink on an
empty stomach, have strong drinks, or
take other drugs including medicine, alcohol could further impair your driving
skills and judgment.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I G ET
CAUGHT? Once an officer believes
you are under the influence of alcohol or
drugs, he or she will have you perform
some field coordination tests. If the officer feels that you have failed the tests or
you refused to take them, i t's off to jail
you go. Once at the jail you are given the
chance to pick the test you want to take.
After that, you get booked, fingerprinted,
and given a nice colorful plastic bracelet.
Did I fail to mention they take all your
personal items including your shoe laces
and belts? Then you are placed in a dirty
cell with some interesting characters. Later
you have to make that embarrassing call
for someone to come and pick you up.
Plan on about five hours of time spent in
jail, and only if you are arrested for DUI
of alcohol. If you kill or injure someone
or have some other charge, plan on not
going to work for awhile.

"Louis Farrakhan is a
Problem"
Doris and Alex Padilla
Contributing Writers
So we again find ourselves battling
over racial issues. America's obsession with
race continues, and as usual, ignorance and
paranoia persist. Unfortunately, our racial
dilemma only surfaces, or is given heightened media attention in a negative context,
and only when America is forced to address
it.
"Louis Farrakhan is a problem." So
begins the cover story of the Feb. 28, 1994
issue of Time Magazine. While most can see
an agend of racist ideology in Minister
Farrakhan's views, the real question should
be, "Why is America so concerned at this
time?" Is it that we as a society are moving
towards more racial tolerance and such words
are offensive? Is it that the "political correctness" age that we so gladly subscribe to,
allowsno room for such verbiage? Or is it
that such words coming from a group like the
Nations of Islam are just too forceful?
When an organization through a charismatic leader like Farrakhan fills up the seats
of Madison Square Garden, the Los Angeles
Sports Arena and other major public entertainment venues, people take notice. When
an organized security force can combat drugs
and crime in the most crime-ridden city areas
where the local police departments are powerless, heads turn. When a group can reach
into our prisons and successfully rehabilitate
discarded individuals, something is definitely
going down.
Farrakhan certainly speaks about fact.
African Americans have been struggling for
social equality and economic independence
in America since its conception. Farrakhan
states that his goal is not to teach hate. The
main focus of his argument calls for change in
social perspective for African Americans. To
learn true "freedom" in America requires
economic control over oneself, and collective, or group control of community businesses. This is sound strategy, and to these
considerations, Farrakhan does speak for African Americans.
However, in promoting more hate and
discourse among ethnic groups, Farrakhan
does not represent the voice of most African
Americans. For African Americans to take
the hate that has been so bountifully served
upon them in America and deflect it upon
another ethnic group is counterproductive,
and we understand that. The irony continues
to be America's lack of understanding the
obvious. If hate is being promoted in the
African American community, it certainly
does not come from Farrakhan, The Nations
of Islam, or any of its members. America
only needs to look at the fabric of its societal
framework to see the seeds of this deadly
virus.
If there is a problem with Louis
Farrakhan, it rests with those organizations in
America that do not wish to see any unity or
real progress made by the African American.
Until we discover our inaccuracies in attitude
and judgment towards each other, and venture toward a change in understanding each
American, we shall continue in ignorance
and remain a flawed nation.

�Letters to the Editor
Nix to Video Games
Dear Editor:
This morning I sat in the Dome and
watched a truck back up and unload of all
things, video games. Videogames? For the
student lounge. Give me a break. Are we
really serious about our reputation in the
academic community? Do we intend to
uphold our reputation as a challenging academic campus? Not by providing vidiot
entertainment in the lounge. What is wrong
with installing a television in the lounge that
could serve to provide us with news, Discovery channel, soaps for the truly deprived or
any other manner of dubious entertainment?
Who is paying for these games? They aren't
free, and I certainly would hate to think that
any portion of my already excessive fees
were being used to provide the students with
mindless and idiotic entertainment.
If we are overly concerned with entertaining the students, why not simply devote
a portion of the computer labs to computer
games? At least students with the urge to
entertain themselves would pick up some
computer skills. I personally feel that video
games have no redeeming social value and
they do not belong on the campus of a school
that is attempting to make its mark on the
cutting edge of academia. Unless, of couse,
we are not. I do not come to school here to be
entertained. I come to get an education.
Maybe if more students were to rethink their
priorities, they might see that the games have
no place on campus.
Susan Gehrke
Student Lounge TYirned
into a Playground
Dear Editor:
The other day, I stepped into the student
lounge to read a bit before class. What I
found upon entering was a pool table, three
video games, and fewer students using the
room to study than was previously the case.
What has happened to the student lounge?
It's been turned into a playground.
If you believe, as I do, that a college
campus should primarily concern itself with
creating an atmosphere conducive to learning, then you would probably agree that this
is not the best way to use the lounge. This
campus has the advantage of having an atmosphere that centers around education and a
studentbody that is bent on academic achievement, but the arrival of these games lessens
this advantage. I've talked to several friends
on campus, and I hear much the same thing.
That is, that i t's a waste of space, and almost
embarrassing.
While I, personally, have a soft spot for a
good game of pool, I sincerely doubt that is
the best use for our lounge. And, I wouldn't
be completely honest if I said I have no
problem with video games such as Mortal
Kombat, but do we want to spend our valuable and limited space on these devices? I
would argue that we do not, and I suspect
that those students who do make use of the
lounge would agree.
What students need on campus is a place
to study in some degree of silence, that is,
without the noise of the Dome, while, at the
same time, being able to drink a cup of
coffee or have a sandwich. The study lounge
was the best place to do this, until Mortal
Combat came into the picture. Now, the
students that used this room for that purpose
are combating the noise of the Dome, or
pooling at the tables just outside of it.
The decision has been made, for now.
But we can change it by gathering 200
signatures in order to place the issue on the
spring ballot. Then, we can all be involved
in deciding how to best utilizerthe student
lounge.
Barry Walker
Lexis/Nexis isn't Perfect Yet
-- f iii
Dear Editor:
I applaud Mr. Holmes' letter! I see that
he is as concerned as we in the library about
the computer competency requirement. We
recognize that students need extra help in
using the computer resources in the library.
Our concern led us to hire and train students
to serve as Information Assistants (see Pride

by educating and providing assistance
through the Information Assistant Program,
students will learn to evaluate their searches
better, limit their printing to what is essential for their research, and learn to appreciate the capabilities of downloading.
We are also environmentally conscious
and unfortunately students do tend to abuse
printing so we continually encourage students to download their searches to a disk.
The library has even been selling disks at
cost to make it easier for students.
Mr. Holmes does not have all the facts
straight about Lexis/Nexis and the printing/
downloading problem. The incident recounted by Mr. Holmes is true; students
have been known to print reams of paper
from Lexis/Nexis. At the end of fall semester the library inquired about the possibility
of disablingthe printing function from Lexis.
We were told that this was not possible.
Much later and totally unrelated to our inquiries, Mead Data (producer of the database) informed us that they would no longer
support the download document feature.
However, they do allow us to record a
session onto disk. This feature captures the
entire search to be downloaded but requires

�Arizmendi to perform one-woman play
atCSUSM
Yareli Arizmendi, co-star of Like Water for Chocolate,
will present a one-woman performance piece, Nostalgia
Maldita:1-900-Mexico, on Sunday, March 13 at 3 PM.
Arizmendi, an assistant professor in the visual and performing arts at CSUSM, not only performs the solo role but also
wrote the play.
Nostalgia Maldita: 1-900-Mexico explores cultural
values and identity from both sides of the US-Mexico border.
Laced with humor, satire, and compassion, the play questions
the value of pursuing another culture's ideals and dreams.
Admission is $3 for CSUSM students and $5 for
general admission. Tickets may be purchased at the
University's bookstore during normal business hours or by
calling 752-4730. Tickets may be purchased at the door onehalf hour before the play, unless it is sold out. For further
information, call the Arts and Lectures Office at 752-4945.
ACADEMY AWARDS PREVIEW

Staff Writer
^W. "T ith the box-office success ofJurassic Park
\ J \ J and the critical success ofSchindler'sList,
T T this has been the year of Spielberg, and
there is little doubt that the upcoming Academy Awards
ceremony will do anything but put the icing on the cake.
Schindler's List has more nominations than any other film,
and Spielberg has captured all the other awards (Golden
Globe, Director's Guild) that usually serve as indicators of
Oscar performance. Also, the Academy has shunned
Spielberg for years and Schindler serves as a perfect opportunity to make up for past exclusion while at the same time
rewarding the socially conscious, epicfilmmakingOscar so
loves. It is unfortunate, though, that so many otherfilmsfar
more cinematically interesting and daring than Spielberg's
work will be shut out in the process;
BEST PICTURE
Nominees: Schindler's List, The Piano, Remains of
the Day, In the Name of the Father, The Fugitive
Not much suspense here, though this is a fairly wellrounded selection of qualityfilmsthat (with the exception of
The Piano) break very little new cinematic ground. Short
Cuts and Fearless were far superior to most nominated films
but not nearly as accessible. The Academy went out on a
limb last year by choosing the unsettling masterpiece
Unforgiven, but expect no such luck this year.

�FunThings to Do in San Diego County
North County Repertory Theatre
— for a change
Amy Cubbison
Contributing Writer
Are you tired of doing the same thing
every weekend—crazy clubs, mundane movies or drab dinners? Are you stuck in rut?
Why notjump off the bandwagon and sharpen
the creative side of your mind?
Solana Beach has a well-kept secret that
is slowly but surely beginning to leak out.
Tucked away in Lomas Santa Fe Plaza just
off of the Lomas Santa Fe exit is the North
County Repertory Theatre.
Believe it or not, the theatre has been
around since 1982. It was started by Olive
andTomBlakistone. The theatre is charming
and quaint and holds 185 people. Although a
non-equity theatre, the North County Rep, as
locals call it, produces professional quality
plays. The actors receive a pittance compared to other major theatres but actors vie to
be in the plays because of the high caliber
productions.
Plays range from comedies such as Neil
Simon's Biloxi Blues, to more dramatic productions such as the recentM. Butterfly. Every
play is fresh and new with an interesting flair.
Having attended numerous plays at the North
County Rep, I have never been dissappointed.
One of the funniest was a crazy comedy by
Neil Simon (a favorite of the theatre) called
Rumors. I ached from laughing so much.
There is a new play every couple of months.
Tickets are regularly priced at $16 but with a
student I.D., they are only $12.
The theatre is in a terrific location, next to
a cute coffee house that features home-baked
goodies and music. The Samurai Restaurant
and Froglanders Yogurt are also in the plaza.
And, there is plenty of parking!
- So... what does all this mean to you? Not
only does the theatre have plays, they also
offer acting lessons for adults and children.
Auditions are open to everyone and students
are often used in productions. If the idea
sounds good but you're tight on money, you
can volunteer as an usher and acquire free
tickets.
This summer the North County Rep will
be launching their new children's theatre.
Currently featured is a delightful romantic
comedy by Wendy Wasserstdp, I$n'tlt Ro-«
mantic. It is very refreshing^iist in time for
Spring. So, next time you can't think of what
to do, give the North County Repertory Theatre a try. You might find it a very pleasant
surprise.

M an arrested in connection with
d isappearance of local teenage girl
BY BEN ROFFEE
News Editor
The search for Chelsea
King, a local high school
girl that disappeared last
week, will resume this week
despite treatment of the case
by local law enforcement as a
homicide. King, a 17 year-old
Poway resident, disappeared
while on a run at Rancho
Bernardo Park near Lake Hodges
Thursday evening. Authorities
have already identified a
suspect in connection with
King's
disappearance.
According to Bill Gore of the
San Diego County Sheriffs
Department, officers apprhended
John Albert Gardner III Sunday
afternoon outside of Hernandez
Hide-A-Way, a restaurant in the
small Lake Hodges community
known as Del Dios. Gardner,
a 30 year-old registered sex
offender, now faces charges of
first-degree murder and rape by
force.
At a press conference last
evening, Sheriff Gore said,
"evidence was discovered to
link Gardner to Ms. King in
such a manner as to warrant his
arrest." Though the Sheriffs
department would not elaborate,
physical evidence linking
Gardener to the crime has been
found in the area where Chelsea
King disappeared.
Chelsea's mother, Kelly King,
told reporters on Monday that
investigators identified Gardner's

found near Lake Hodges.
Gardner's previous criminal
history includes a guilty plea
to multiple counts of forcible
lewd acts with a child and false
imprisonment, landing him
a six year prison sentence in
May 2000. Sheriff Gore said
Gardner has been uncooperative

insist they may still be able
to implicate Gardner without
locating the victim. Paul
Levikow from the San Diego
County District Attorney's office
said, "There are murder cases
that get tried without a body.
There is one going on now."
Parents Brent and Kelly King
insist they will continue to search
fortheir daughter, aided by friends
and volunteers from around the
community. Those involved in
the search have relied heavily
on social networking sites like
Image courtesy ofthe King Family
Facebook and Twitter to spread
up to date information. Those
interested in volunteering can go
to Chelsea King Search Center
located at 11858 Bernardo Plaza
Court. More information on
search efforts can also be found
online at http://www.findchelsea.
com/.
Authorities have requested
those with any information
relating to the disappearance
of Chelsea King to contact the
Sheriffs Department at (858)

CSUSM hosts first ever San Marcos Round Up Thrive food stamp program
BY JAMES ROCHE
Pride Staff Writer
Cai State San Marcos is hosting: the inaugural San Marcos
Round Up, on March 13 where
students will have the opportunity to take ¡part in a 5km race
orpin l lkmfrace, according to
a press rej/ase by the office of

In Motion Inc. is organizing the

the Mangrum Track on campus

Hugo Lecomte is director of
Campus Recreation on campus,
which is helping co-host the
event. Lecomte said, "The running event is going to be one of
the best ones because we have
a very strong company helping us, a company with a lot
of experience. It's a very easy
event—if you don't feel like
running you can walk it. It's a
cheap price for this event, so it
might be yourfirstopportunity
as a student to participate to a
running event."

Both awards for supporting
actors go to people who played
two of the most evil characters
last year. I would be very surprised if Christoph Waltz does
not win the men's award for
his role as the sadistic Nazi in
"Inglourious Basterds "
Mo'Nique, who was predicted
to win before herfilmwas in theaters, should pick up the award
for role in "Precious," where she
plays a psychologically and physically abusive mother.
The lead actors are a little more

won the BAFTA for Best Actor
for "A Single Man," but I think
Jeff Bridges will take the Oscar
for his role in "Crazy Heart."

tive roles because they have each
won the award previously. It
will come down to if the Academy wants to award Gabourey
Sidibe, for her breakout role in
"Precious," Carey Mulligan, for a
well-rounded performance in the
coming-of age story "An Education," or Sandra Bullock, for
her years of work in Hollywood
leading up to her performance in
"The Blind Side."
But the big winner is going
to be "The Hurt Locker." This
summer indie film passed more
people by, but it is cleaning up
at other award ceremonies. Not
only will it win for its screenplay,
editing, cinematography, and
sound, but 1 guarantee it will win
Best Picture and Director. I doubt
the other likelyfilm,James Cameron's "Avatar," will top Kathryn Bigelow's story of the bomb
squad in Iraq. Despite the predictability of the awards, I hope
it will be a fun show to celebrate
my favorite medium.

The two races differ in both
their length and where they are
run. "The 5k, which is I think a
3.1 mile course, goes around the
campus. It's mostly on campus
and circles all around the campus
and the start and finish will be
on the track. It's an amazing
event, 5k is a great distance; you
can either walk, jog or run.
"The other event is the Ilk.
This one is more challenging. It
will go to the top of the mountain that you see outside the university and there is a park called
double peak. It's mostly on trails
and it's a very big challenge
because there is a lot of elevation
gain so it's a big race for heart
rate," said Lecomte.
Both the races are due to start
at 8 AM. However, the students
running in the 11km race will be
released in a series of waves and
not all at once. The event also
allows faculty, staff, and the outside community to take part.
There is also reason for those
who do not which to compete
to come to the event. "Everybody can sign up to be a volunteer, also on the website, so
if they don't want to register to
race or to run or to walk, they
can always volunteer for this
event," said Lecomte.
There will also be a festival at the event, which involves

Lighting up at C SUSM
Hazards of social smoking
Every year, hundreds of thousands of deaths are due to smoking related illnesses. Here at California State University of San
Marcos, students who smoke take
up a significant portion of the student population.
In 2005, based on a new state
law, from Title 8 California Code
of Regulations section 5148, has
affected how CSUSM views oncampus smoking. On the CSUSM
campus, there are nine designated
smoking areas for students, faculty, and staff to use. This law
means that at CSUSM smokers can
only smoke in designated areas.
Students can experience many
harmful affects from smoking or
from exposure to second-hand
smqke. Cathy Nguyen, CSUSM's
health educator, said, "There
are many risks associated with
cigarette smoking. According
to The Health Consequences of
Smoking: A Report of the Surgeon General, smoking causes
approximately: 90% of all lung
cancer deaths in men, 80% of all
lung cancer deaths in women,
and 90% of deaths from chronic
obstructive lung disease.
"The adverse health effects
from cigarettes smoking accounts
for an estimate of nearly one
of every five deaths or 443,000
deaths in year in the US. Besides
lung cancer and an increase in
coronary heart disease," Nguyen
said, "smoking can cause respiratory diseases such as emphysema,
bronchitis, and chronic airway
obstruction."
All of these health risks associated with smoking could affect
any student here at CSUSM,
whether lighting up or from exposure to second-hand smoke.
Another factor as to why students light up deals students who
socially smoke with peers. Nguyen
also provided information about
CSUSM and the students that are
lighting up. She said, "According
to the National College Health
Association results from a survey
that was administered to CSUSM
students in the Spring of 2009,
64% of our student population
does not smoke and has never
smoked a cigarette. Of the 36%
of students that have used cigarettes, only 15% of that group has
smoked a cigarette within the last
30 days."
This data shows that over half
the student population is not lighting up. According to data only, the
social aspect of smoking does not
necessarily affect CSUSM students.
With less than half of the student population smoking at
CSUSM, it is important to understand how some of student body
sees smoking on campus.
Chris Rahn, CSUSM Student,
said, "The designated smoke areas
on campus aren't strategically
placed. Every day I walk by smok-
ers to and from my classes and
car. As a student here at CSUSM
I wish I did not have to be around
smoking on such a regular basis."
Another student, Tiffany
Walker, had a different opinion. Walker said, "Smoking on
campus doesn't bother me. As
long as students are smoking outside, they can do as they please. If
I really had a problem with smok-

that you do have options, and

pretty sure [teachers] aren't
allowed to talk about it, or
they're not supposed to be giving
their opinions [about] the matter.
I understand that the teachers
have lots of stressful things; they
have to do research and maintain
the classes that they teach.
They have a lot of work to do. I
understand that."

Blaring tunes, CSUSM college radio hits airwaves
BY SANDRA CHALMERS
Editor-in-Chief
Roaring into our twenties,
CSUSM has upgraded into the
twenty f irst century and introduced its first radio station.
Taking a closer look at
CSUSM's first radio station
and the students inside the
studio and on the airwaves,
Thi Pride got the privilege of
having a Q&A with the maker
behind CSUSM College Radio.
V=The Pride
RV= Rosario Vizcaino,
President of CSUSM College
Radio.
P: whose idèa was it to start a
college radiò station?
RV: "I started CSUSM College Radio in the fall of 2008
with the help of my classmate
Ryan Mcelroy. It initially
started as an idea for a class
project, which unfortunately
was dropped by our professor
and a few classmates because
it wouldn't meet the requirements for the assigned project
at that time."
i*It wasn't over for me
just yet I knew there was no on my server and immediately
CSUSM radio station and setup a
media
that we would be the first students to come up with it."
P: How did the project evolve
and get developed?
RV: I recruited my classmate Ryan Mcelroy, who is one
of the founders and the current treasurer of CSUSM College Radio. We immediately
went forward with the process of forming a club, which
was finalized at the end of
November in 2008.
With the minimal
support we initially had,
I had then
decided
that col1ege
r adio
w ould
happen no
matter what.
P: How did
you start a radio station from
scratch?
RV: "I acquired the domain
name and created a web page
for the radio station. I hosted it
s treaming service. With
the
help of Ryan, I made a simple
design that would be easy to
use and yet it would be robust.
We tested it and loved it."
"With no expectations of the
outcome, we then went over to
Student Life and Leadership on
campus and made a live demo
which generated an immediate
positive chain reaction. We had
created the first CSUSM college radio, which by the way it
has been granted full status as
an organized club on campus
as of February of 2010."
"Yes we are new and we
plan to be here for a long
time!"
P: What is your
m ission
statement?
RV:
"By the
s tudents
for the
students!"
P: What
type of radio
s t a - tion would you
consider yourself?
RV: "CSUSM College Radio
was founded with a purpose in
mind and that is to encourage
and promote cultural diversity
on campus. So send us your
request and if you feel you have
the courage to talk on the radio
email us collegeradio@csusm.
info."
P: How can students listen in
and interact with college radio?
RV: "Please go to www.
csusm.info and send us your
request through our contact
page. You can chat with us or
simply call us at (760) 6704131."
P: What does college radio
strive for in the future? What
will become of college radio?
RV: "College Radio is here
to stay."
P: What are unique projects
will our college radio host?
RV: "We will cover news,
sports, current events and your
favorite music."
CSUSM College Radio primarily runs through online
streaming, their interactive
website offers video shows of
the most recent student organization fair and they are eager
to begin offering footage and
live radio casting from sporting events.
Baseball team hits homerun season for C SUSM
BY KATRINA KISTLER
Pride Staff Writer.
Here at CSUSM, the baseball
team is up to bat and gives our
small athletic department a big
name.
The CSUSM baseball team
has started out their season
with eight wins,fivelosses, and
one tie. This season has proved
to be difficult, but the cougars
have stood strong.
"There have been a lot of injuries this season, but the players
and team have exceeded my
expectations while dealing with
a tough schedule," said baseball
coach Dennis Pugh.
The CSUSM baseball team
rested these past two weeks and
now is looking forward to an
away game against Chapman
University on March 5 at 2:00
PM. The following game will
be March 6 playing Chapman
again with home field advantage at 2:00 PM. located at
Escondido High School.
"A lot of people don't know
about CSUSM's baseball team.
We love our fans, but we would
love it if even more CSUSM
students and fans could make
it to pur games," said Eric Juliennif a current Senior.
With the new Softball field
built for the 2010 season, athletics on campus have gained support from stúdents/staff/fácülty.
Now, the baseball team awaits
their turn for a home field here
on campus. Even with their
home fields spread out around
San Diego at Escondido High
School, Poway High School,
and Point Loma, the team's
season thus far has shown a
great amount of success and
dedication.
"I think our team should do
pretty well this season though.
Hopefully, we can make it to
playoffs and win," continued
Julienne.
On March 9, the cougars will
be playing a double header
facing Illinois Tech at 11:00
AM and at 6:00 PM at Escondido High School. The next two
days the Cougars play Illinois
Tech again on March 10 at 6:00
PM and on March 11 at 6:00
PM located at Escondido High
School. Cougars then play Concordia at Poway High School at
6:00 PM on March 16. This will
be a tough game for the Cougars, but hope to pull out a win
against Concordia. The cougars
finish up that busy two weeks
playing Vanguard on March
spencer Pardon is on the left and Eric Julieene is on the right.
16 at 6:00 PM at Poway High
School. With these next two
busy and tough weeks, CSUSM
cougars are looking to come out
with some wins.
The players this season have
high expectations for suc-

cess this year. Junior, Spencer
Pardon said, "In the season so
far, we have been doing pretty
well. We had a tough game
against Cal Baptist, but are
looking forward to a strong rest
of the season."

cial aspect to this type of film
is can it create the tension and
the suspense? The crazies definitely delivers on this account,
there are numerous scenes constructed purely on tension that
will keep you glued to the edge
of your seat. The slow build up
of the music and the different
use of camera angles create the
tension needed to keep the audience focused for the' heart in

If you are the kind of person
that likes movies that make you
'jump out of your seat' then this
one is for you, countless scenes
can make the viewer leave their
chair. So if you know your partner is a bit 'jumpy' then take
them to see this, they'll be holding on to you for support all the
way through. However, for me
some of the scenes became a
little predictable, as it was clear
towards the end that the 'jump

coming, and as a result I wasn't

Student Leadership Awards Night
Bryan Clark
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
The Student Leadership Awards were held at the
Rancho Bernardo Inn on Friday evening, May, 12, honoring and recognizing CSUSM club members for their dedication and determination in student organizations. The
Rancho Bernardo Inn graciously hosted approximately 200
CSUSM students, faculty, and staff—serving them a dinner
of chicken and poached salmon.
Students were encouraged to attend the extravagant
"suit and tie" affair at a cost of $15 dollars per student. Many
of the club members in attendance were also given invitations for friends and family to attend the event. University
President Alexander Gonzalez; Executive Vice President,
Dr. Ernie Zomalt; Vice President of Academic Affairs, Dr.
Richard Karas; and ASI Executive Director, Darlene Willis,
were also in attendance.
Waleed Delawari, ASI President, master of ceremonies,
commented that the awards event was "truly for the students." The first hour of the event awarded members of the
Board of Trustees, members of the current administration,
and past ASI presidents who also gave speeches that evening. Delawari honored the former ASI Presidents, Charles
Ragland and David Alimi, Joseph Faultous, and President
Elect, Dean Manship.
Numerous plaques and statuettes were also handed out
in honor of student government leadership. The keynote
speaker, Dr. Ernie Zomalt, was among the honorees that
received awards for his role in establishing CSUSM student government. The last half-hour of the event honored
a majority of campus clubs, including Greek institutions,
Dance and Arts, MEChA, and the Victorious Club.
The event seemed to go off without a hitch, until
ASI went to award a member of the Victorious Club--a
student organization that works to achieve equal rights
and privileges for the physically challenged. However, it
appeared that ASI overlooked wheelchair access to the
stage, unknowingly preventing Penny Lanese from receiving her award in a timely manner. Prior to this incident,
Delawari had jokingly remarked to the audience, "If you
don't claim your awards, we get to scratch the names out
and keep them."
After the award ceremony ended, congratulations and
photo opportunities began. Students were able to shake
hands with President Gonzalez, Dr. Zomalt, Dr. Karas, and
Darlene Willis. Students also danced to the music provided
by a DJ and guests mingled as the event drew to a close
around midnight.

SCVLPTVRE TRIGGERS CJLMPVS CURIOSITY
PRIDE STAFF WRITER

''Nobu in a Dream" is expected to be on display until the end of this semester.
On Wednesday, May 10, an anonymous plastered sculpture magically appeared overnight on Founder's Plaza Courtyard. The physical anatomy of the nude piece suggests it is
male. The faceless figure stands in a rigid position with clenched fists and is approximately
5'9" in height.
Although the sculpture may not resemble a Rodin or a Michaelangelo, it definitely captivated the attention of many CSUSM students. On Thursday night, from afar, an unidentified student screamed, "Look! It's the naked white man!"
It turns out that the "naked white man" is a creation by CSUSM student, Hironobu Shimomura. The piece, titled "Nobu in a Dream," is a project for VSAR 320: Public Expression
in the Arts.
Hironobu bases his project on his unforgettable recurring dreams. "This dream was
situated at public places, such as school ground, classroom, and town streets," recounts
Hironobu. Even though he wore clothing in the beginning of his dreams, by the end of them,
he was naked and feeling intense emotion. "I would like to make this dream sequence come
alive at this campus" writes Hironobu.
Nails, newspaper, plaster, wire, and wood hold the piece together and a wooden skeleeton lies underneath the plaster. However, based on Hironobu's sketches, the piece remains
incomplete.
Hironobu's project proposal and sketches are on display in the hallway on the second
floor of ACD. In his proposal, Hironobu explains he will use sandpaper and a wood carving
tool for the sculpture's detail. Plastered clothing, such as pants, shirt, and shoes, will also
accompany the piece. Hironobu will also use a slide projector to project images onto the
statue for his class presentation.
The VSAR 320 course, taught by Professor Kristine Diekman, examines public art,
government funding for the arts, First Amendment and censorship, and historical and social
context through various case studies.

Here Comes The Sun:
Be Informed about Skin Protection for the Upcoming Summer Months
Kimberly Valentini and Shanna Skidmore
PRIDE STAFF WRITERS
The sun has peeked through the clouds during the
last few weeks of classes and many students have taken
the opportunity to sit outside the Dome and absorb the
rays. Stephanie Dail, a CSUSM junior and sunbather commented, "I know I'm at risk for skin cancer, but I just love
being in the sun."
It is evident from the great amount of sunbathers outside the Dome, that Stephanie is not alone in her opinion.
May is Skin Cancer Awareness month. However, many students may be unaware of the damaging effects the sun can
have on their skin and unaware of how to protect themselves.
Skin cancer appears in the form of moles on the skin.
Moles that change in size, shape, and/or color should be
checked by a doctor right away. The American Cancer
Society suggests to check for any changes in mole patterns,
freckles, and other marks on your skin. Signs of skin cancer
include: a difference in the edges of mole possibly ragged
or notched,, one half of the mole may look different than
the other, also watch out for mixed colors in moles such
as shades of black, tan, or brown, and sometimes spots of
white, red, or blue.
Protection from the Sun Rays
What is Skin Cancer?
According to Heath Net, one out of every seven Americans will develop skin cancer during his or her lifetime. The
American Cancer Society reports that basal cell cancers
account for 75% of skin cancers and melanoma accounts
for 4%. According to the American Cancer Society there
are two types of skin cancer: nonmelanoma and melanoma.
Nonmelanoma skin cancer is broken up into two classifications: basal cell cancer, which can be found on the head
and neck, and squamous cell cancer which can found on
the face, ear, neck, lips, and backs of the hands. Melanoma
mainly appears on t he upper body of fairskin men and on fair-skin women's lower legs. However, melanoma can appear in other places of the body.
Melanoma cancer is much less common than the basal
cell cancer, and is almost always curable in its early
stages.
running to the tanning salon is not the solution. The best
defense against skin cancer is to protect yourself and know
the facts on cancer.
Listed below are some guidelines from Health Net for
protecting yourself from skin cancer:
•Avoid being in the sun during peak time, between
10:00am and 2:00pm.
•Be sure to use sunscreen or sunblock with a SPF of
15 or greater every time you're outdoors; even when it is
cloudy outside, the sun's UV rays can pass through the
clouds.
•Cover every part of your exposed body with sunscreen,
reapplying every two hours and each time you get out of the
water.
•Take a break from the sun every 20 minutes if it is possible.
•Stay in the shade or wear protective clothing when
you're not physically active.
For more information on skin cancer, contact The American Cancer Society at 1-800-ACS-2345 orwww.cancer.org;

or the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship at 1-888650-9127 or www.cansearch.org.
Malignant Melanoma
UV radiation from sunlight and tanning booths is the
source that puts people at a greater risk for all types of
skin cancer. Being exposed to the sun without protection
puts everyone at risk for getting skin cancer. Cathy Grenett,
Clinic Aid II, from CSUSM Student Health Services said,
"We encourage all of our students to use sunscreen and to
have dermatology test done frequently."
The American Cancer Society predicts that in the year

Cloudy gray skies didn't keep CSUSM students, faculty,

of Candye Kane during Monday's Noontime Brown Bag
Concert. A lively atmosphere was apparent as Candye Kane
and her band, The Swingin' Armadillos, performed a mix
of big-band, blues, jazz, and swing music outside the Dome
Stage.
Kane, who is said to "encourage her audiences to
shatter stereotypes, celebrate their sexuality, and live their
dreams," took a moment in-between songs to comment
on her opposition to Proposition 22 and encouraged the
CSUSM audience to "embrace all the love" regardless of
race, gender, and sexual orientation.
Kane, who appeared on talk shows like Donnie &
Marie, Queen Latifah, Roseanne, and Pen and Teller's
Sin City Spectacular in 1999, is also an award-winning
musician.
Her music awards and nominations include 1998-1999

Tuesday, May 2, 2000, marked Yom HaShoa'h, the
international Day of Remembrance, a day set aside to
honor and remember the six million Jews killed during
the Holocaust. CSUSM held its f irst public recognition
of Yom HaShoa'h last Tuesday, when Dr. Andrea Liss

Memory, Photography, and the Holocaust.
and artistic representations of the Holocaust. In her lecture, she discussed the graphic and disturbing images
of the camps seen in photographs, and noted in an interview that the "direct documentary approach is not that
respectful of the people being pictured."
Liss, who will teach a class entitled "Holocaust Art,
Photography, and Film" in Spring 2001, said she hopes
that by learning more about the events of the Holocaust, people will be more willing to confront intolerance when it occurs around them. "We need to be concerned about racism at a local level and not be afraid to

"It was considered an extreme imperative to set
aside a day of remembrance," Liss said. "There can't be
static remembering" of the Holocaust, she said. "That's
called forgetting." Yom HaShoa'h, which began in 1951,
was set to coincide with the 1943 uprising of Jews in
the Warsaw ghetto, Liss said, in an attempt "to wed this
commemorative day with those events."
Artistic representations such as comics draw in the
"post-Auschwitz" generation, Liss said. In her book and

regards as her loss of his wife's birthright, is determined to expose
the lies about her past," according to the San Diego Performing
Arts magazine.
That night, Blanche meets Stanley's poker buddy, Mitch. Flirtation ensues between the two, and Stanley angrily breaks up the
party.
Streetcar Named Desire is the sixth opera to be part of the
North American Voices Program, which is intended to showcase
a series of operas with subjects relevant to North American experience.
North American Voices project continues the 2000-01 season
with the premiere of Carlisle Floyd's Cold Sassy Tree. A bittersweet love story based on the novel by Olive Ann Season. Academy award winner and film director Bruce Beresford will direct.
The San Diego Opera runs yearly from January through May
at the San Diego Civic Center in downtown San Diego.
Ticket prices range from $31 to $118. Rush tickets are available the day of the performance for $20. To purchase tickets or
find out more about rush tickets, contact San Diego Opera online
at: www.sdopera.com or call (619) 232-7636.
Unfortunately, the first ninety minutes of the first act were
abysmal. The songs were drawn out, overdramatic, and senseless.
"It made me wish I had stayed home," commented an audience
member during the first intermission.
In act two, Stanley tells Stella of the tragic rumors circulating
about Blanche. On a date with Mitch, Blanche reveals her innermost secrets.
In act three, Stanley cruelly ruins Blanche by revealing her
secrets to Mitch and buying her a one way ticket back to where
she came from. This begins the deterioration of Blanche's mind.
After a whirlwind of catastrophe, Stella is forced to send
Blanche to an asylum. Thinking she is leaving to visit an old
admirer, Blanche unwittingly takes the doctors hand, informing
him she, "has always relied on the kindness of strangers."
The score was still jarring at times but would instantly come
together beautifully in a heart rending operatic duet. Anthony
Dean Griffey, portraying the insecure but Mitch, a moralistic
suitor, brings new depth to his character when he and Sheryl
Woods, as Blanche, reveal the depths of their characters souls in
the act's final song.
As a fan of Tennessee Williams, I was pleasantly surprised at
how s uitable Streetcar Named Desire w as f or o pera. T he d ifficul-
ties in adjusting from viewing the play to listening to the opera
weigh heavily in the first act. As the show went on, much of the
audience was captivated by the stellar performances by the cast.

�OPINION
6 Tuesday, May 16, 2000
In response to Victor
Mireles' comment on the
Cesar Chavez and Cinco de
Mayo Celebration sponsored
by Ballet Folklorico Mixtlan
andM.E.Ch.A.
First of all, I am sorry to
see that you did not stay for the
whole event. The event consisted ofmore than one controversial speaker. We had beautiful cultural performances by
Ballet Folklorico Mixtlan. We
had Cesar Chavez's grandson
as the keynote speaker, free
food for all (regardless or race,
religion, or sexual preference),
and Aztec Dancers to close

that you made a criticism of

and clothes to local farm workers and orphans in Tijuana,
and has influenced other college students to transfer to

Also, while we are on the

hope this doesn't start another
debatefrompeople who have
learned everything they know
on Cuba from the corporate
media), you need to get your
facts straight. Che helped turn
Cuba into the Latin American
country that has the highest
literacy rate, free health care
for all (Cuba's health system
serves as an example for most
underdeveloped nations and
even some developed countries) and one of the most,
if not the most industrialized
Latin American nation.
Though it may be true
that Cuba's government may
be repressive (this is a law
of political science: states in
all their forms, capitalist or
socialist, are repressive), Cuba
is not sponsoring terrorism
within its borders or anywhere
else. The main state or government that sponsors terrorism
in Cuba and throughout the
majority ofcountries throughout the world is the United
States. TheU.S. sponsored the
Bay ofPigs invasion as well as
many assassination attempts
of Fidel Castro (no government has the right to assassinate a nation's leader).
Also the U.S. is responsible for a 30 year trade embargo
on Cuba which has been condemned repeatedly by the
United Nations and does not
allow food and medical supplies into Cuba (how much
more inhumane can you get?).
?). Plus I could add the fact
that the U.S. is currently selling arms to a 70 year old
illegitimate, terrorist Mexican
government that is keeping its
people living in poverty and
misery. I could go on and on
to prove my point of the U.S.'s
role in sponsoring terrorism
and terrorist states throughout
the world, but I won't.1 could
go on and on to prove my
point ofthe U.S.'s role in sponsoring terrorism and terrorist

the school president decides to
leave and can not or does not

criticized President Gonzalez's weak stance on the Che
issue while he was there.
Like I said, it may hurt
you to be reminded of your
history (when you mentioned
that you "happen" to have
roots in Mexico, you say it as
if it is a curse or afreakaccident of nature), but we are not
about to let Cinco de Mayo
be just another day to party.
We are not about to let Budweiser, Marlboro, Doritos, or
Taco Bell pimp off our history
and culture. As Mexicans/
Chicanas/os in the United
States, Cinco de Mayo is especially important to us today for
many reasons. Cinco de Mayo
for us is the David and Goliath story of Mexican history.

Finally, you have every
right to say that MEChA does
not speak for you, because we
do not try to speak for all Mexicans or Mexican-Americans.
As Hector Muro said, those
of us in the universities represent a small percentage of
our people. "Less than 1%
of our people graduate from
a university". Thus, as students, we try not to be selfish
and speak for only 1% of our
people.
At the beginning of the
year, we made a conscious
decision to address the issues
that affect the masses of our
people. We understood that
there are more of us in prisons than in the universities
and we understand that most
of our people are working
class people. Most of us are
being exploited somewhere i n'
afield,in a factory, or in hotels
and Country clubs. And we
understand that it is our right
and responsibility to be proud
of where we come from so
that we may have the dignity
and courage to struggle for
a just and brighter future for
all. Keep in mind, you called
yourself a "Twinkie", don't
criticize us for something we
never said.

4. Finally, [Cuba is a]
"repressive terrorist-sponsoring state"? This is the
pot calling the kettle black,
which everyone would
understand if we paid more
attention to history and
brought the criminals deeds
into the light for everyone
to see). Are our sanctions
on Cuba not 'repressive' to
Cuba? Does the Bay of Pigs
ring any bells? Terrorist is
a relative term, the British
considered George Washing

considered the French resistance terrorists. Che Guevara fought for the liberation
of his people from the foreign oppressors and their
internal collaborators.

the moviemakers gave us many
delights. After consideration and
reflection, here's my countdown
of the best ten movies from the
last decade.
To start the list, I am going to
go with an obvious one, Peter
Jackson's
"The Lord of
the
Rings"
trilogy, from
2001-2003.

Next, I skip to 2006 for the
film that finally earned Martin
Scorsese a Best Picture Oscar,
"The Departed." This had a
star-studded cast led by Jack
Nicholson at the top of his game.
The writing was razor sharp
with gripping dialogue. The tension builds beautifully and was

the best cop film in
recent years.
The Coen Brothers also finally picked
up a Best Picture
Oscar with my next
choice, "No Country for Old Men."
This highly controversial and debatable
thriller from 2007
took its audience for an exercise
in nerves. The often silly Coen
Brothers turned up the serious and scored big with this on,
especially with help from Javier
Bardem.
Cidade de Deus, or "City
of God," a
2002 Brazilian film, is my
next choice.
This coming
of age tail,
set in poverty-stricken
Brazil and follows a young
man through
the extreme
lows of his
childhood and
his eventual
escape. Much
like "Slumdog
M illionaire,"
of New Line Cinema this film is
full of grit and heart.
The Pixar side of Disney took
off these last ten years. They
dominated the animated film
industry, picking up most of the
Oscars in this category. Their
most recent film "Up," continued that legacy in 2009. Easily,
it was one of their most serious films, but it was also very
whimsical. The story of an old
man flying off
in his house
using balloons
was stunning
and
heartwarming.
The

film imports.
Yet in 2001,

came in storming. I have heard
more than one reviewer describe
it as the happiest film ever made.
It is a cheerful tale of a selfless
young woman bringing joy to
her neighbors and friends, and
she happens to find some love
for herself along the way.
Another foreign film that
snuck in was the Korean masterpiece "Oldboy," from 2003.
Director Chan-wook Park wove
a dark tale of revenge in this
mind-bending thriller. It is an
unforgettable story, shot incredibly well, and will leave you
squirming. This under the radar
success is a must-see, especially
before the Steven Spielberg and
Will Smith remake due out soon.
Director Paul Thomas Anderson seems incapable of making
a bad film. In 2007, he showed
his directorial might once again
with "There Will Be Blood."
The first thing that jumps to
mind is the extremely quotable
dialogue, namely, "I drink your
milkshake." But there was much
more to it. Daniel Day-Lewis is
phenomenal in this film and he
draws you into the dark world of
the early oil industry.
My penultimate pick comes
from 2006 and was directed
by Guillermo del Toro. It is the
fantasy titled "El Laberinto del
Fauno," or "Pan's Labyrinth."
This film left me teary-eyed,
on the edge of my seat, with
a
huge
grin. Set
dark yet fantastic world. This is
an incredible film to get lost in
over and over.
My final pick, and thus my
favorite film of the decade was
Disney/Pixar's crown jewel,
" WALL-E." The studio soared
with others hits including "Monsters Inc.," "Finding Nemo,"
and "The Incredibles," but they
nailed this one out of the park.
This sublime film had all the
right elements and is one of
those few films some might consider perfect.
The story of love is entertaining, the look is pure art, and
it is extremely re-watchable.
It had a subtle message about
earth and humanity that become
truer every day. Any film that
can convey so much emotion
through a non-speaking robot
deserves praise. This one did
that, and everything else right,
and that is why I say it's the best
of this decade.
I could go on and list hundreds of must-see movies from
this past decade, and I am sure
others to come, such as "Invictus" or "Avatar" might steal a
place on this list, but these are
the ten I think best represent
quality entertainment and filmmaking. It goes without saying, I
cannot wait to see what the next
ten years has in store.

Study a broad in the LIS
BY JAMES ROCHE
Pride Staff Writer
I'm back again, giving you
another one of my insights into my
experiences here in America. This
time I thought I would comment
on the differences in how people
get from A to B in Britain and
America. The first, probably most
obvious point I think you would
agree is that here in America you
need a car. This is noticeable to
everyone. If you don't have a car
you think how much you need
one, and if you do have a car you
pray that nothing happens to it.
Being an exchange student, I don't
have a car, so it can sometimes
make me feel restricted in what I
want to do. It can be quite frustrating when you think of something
good to do, but you can't do it, as
there is no way of getting to that
place. If you're lucky, you know
someone that has a car and can thing students need is within 10

noticed the size of the freeways
are a lot bigger here, 6 or 7 lanes is
the average width. It may or may
not be hard to believe but Britain's
motorways (freeways) are only 3
lanes wide.
From my point of view you
don't necessarily need a car in
Britain, especially if you're a student, and the transport system can
be good enough to get you around.
However, you definitely need a
car here in America to get around,
mostly due to the biggest overriding factor: the place is just so big.

Yes, soul searching. And I
d on't mean the kind of soul
searching you do when you've
lost your l eft f oot, blackstrapped stiletto. I mean the
k ind in which time and distance
allows you to truly see who you
are, what you feel, and what you
want out of life, without being
influenced by the social norms
of what you're used to. Aspects
like family, f riends, and a familiar environment tend to influence you to act in a certain way,
most likely because you are
comfortable with it and this is
what you know. But being away
f rom that opens an entire world
of possibilities, new frontiers
of emotion and social behavior
that you might have never experienced before. At the expense
of sounding like A laddin during
the magic carpet flight (which I
hear I bear an uncanny resemblance too [possible j ob candidate at Disneyland maybe?]),
travelling abroad shows you the
world in a physical and metaphorical sense, not only the
world around you but maybe
you yourself.
Personally, being away for
t hese few months have had
some level of impact upon my
character. I feel the extent of
t his can only be measured by
the people that know me best,
but nonetheless, I am still
myself. But I do know that
being away has given me a time
and place to really t hink about
l ife, myself, and those around
me. Gaining some insight into
what I want f rom myself, f rom
others, f uture goals, what I
want out of l ife and love, all
t hese things come to the f orefront of the mind when I 'm
feeling t ruly alone. Searching the mind and r eflecting on
these memories is something
that I c an't help but do. Literally, even to the point where I
stay cooped up in my room and
j ust t hink. T hink about home,
l ife, love, and whatever else
may be on the menu at the local
s elf-reflection bar and grill.
The point I 'm trying to make
is that taking time for selfreflection can happen anywhere.
But when you are away f rom
your expected social behaviors,
actions, and responsibilities, it
allows you to hopefully see who
you really are or if you're j ust
playing some role that many
simply expect f rom you. Take
this time to think ahead, reflect
on your past actions, and come
to terms with them or set them
right. I know that this week's
edition of Abroad in the UK
was a little different and off
the beaten path, but then again,
change happens. I 'm sure I 'll
be back to my normal style of
spewing out the literary equivalent of hitting two bricks against
each other for three hours, but
then again, this j ust shows a
range that can be gained by
reading and interpreting the
metaphorical newspaper of self
(Ok I 'll stop now, all these metaphors are hardly substantiated
to this extent, i t's like I pasted
them on with 3 year glue-stick).

The gift that keeps on giving
Operation Christmas Child at C SUSM
BY JORDAN VERDIN
Pride Staff Writer
Imagine Christmas morning
and you have no g ifts to share,
no happiness. For hundreds of
thousands of children around
the world, this is a cold, hard
reality. Priority Christian Challenge (PCC) is a club on campus
that is involved with "shoebox
ministry," and partners with
Samaritan's Purse Operation
Christmas Child.
Students involved with this
group want to make a difference and change the lives of
these children, hoping to share
the g ift of love and ofjoy by letting children know that there is
someone who does care about
them and the situation they are
in. This activity brings people
from different groups and clubs
together for one cause: to share
the joy and love of the holiday
with needy children.
When Ruth Bran, the director
of PCC and volunteer campus
minister at Cal State San
Marcos, heard about Operation
Christmas Child eight years
ago, she knew this would be the
perfect way to impact others
during the holidays. Students
involved with PCC give joy to
disadvantaged children aged
from t\yo to 14 at Christmastime, and let them know that
they are special.
Cal State San Marcos students put together over 300
shoeboxes, and while the items
within the shoeboxes — toi-
letries, toys crayons, school
supplies, stuffed animals, and
stickers - aren't particularly
expensive^: the g ifts are cherished for a lifetime.
' These shoeboxes might bib*
one of the only g ifts the cfiildfc
will ever receive their entire
life," said Bran. One of the
groups involved is Alpha XI
Delta, a sorority that threw a
party and had several teams rl
bring g ifts and boxes. They collected over 200 boxes at that
event. "Every box will change a
child's life," said Jenny McDonald, treasurer of Priority Christian challenge and sister of
Alpha XI Delta.
CSUSM's international students and the American Language and Culture instate are
also involved with Operation
Christmas Child, and realize
that what they are doing is a
life changing? experience f or
both themselves and the children.
"This is a rewarding experience and it makes me more
appreciative," said Priority
Christian Challenge President
Huy Tu. "It's worth it to see the
smiles on their faces."
It has not always been simple
t o find everything needed to
complete the shoeboxes for the
children. According to Bran,
one of the hardest elements of
the g ifts to find is the empty
shoeboxes needed to pack the
g ifts in. However, several local
shoe stores were able to donate
empty boxes for the cause, and
there were more than enough to
give the gifts to the children.
It is also difficult to get the
word out that this program is
available for CSUSM students
looking for a way to donate
their time to a worthy cause.
This year, there was also a concern that not too many students
would qot be able to afford to
donate g ifts to fill the shoebox.
Still, Bran was happy to share
that even though everyone is
feeling the economic crunch,
both teachers and students came
together to give for the less fortunate.
"We had a great turnout," said
Bran. While students might not
see the f ull impact of their g ift
has on the children, the effects
are immeasurable.
A great example of someone being impacted is Huda, a
female dietitian student f rom
Cal State San Bernardino, a
Jordanian international student.
When she was a child in Jordan,
Huda and her family received
shoeboxes. Upon coming to the
United States, Huda started the
Christian Club at CSUSB and
initiated Operation Christmas
Child last year.
Now CSUSM and CSUSB are
competing to see which campus'
program will bring in more
boxes for the program. While
it's too late to get involved this
year with Operation Christmas
Child, students who would like
to get involved for next year, or
be a part of nonprofit activities,
can help by getting in contact
with Ruth Bran at r22Bran@
yahoo.com, or call her at (760)
583-2381. For more information, they can visit the website

C SUSM goes G lobal
Students may now declare G lobal Studies major
BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
Editor-in-Chief
Last month, CSUSM issued
a press release announcing
its plans to establish a new
Global Studies degree. As students may already be aware,
thé Global Studies department,
which offered a Global Studies
minor, was already in existence
prior to this announcement.
Certainly a sign that in spite
of the budget cuts to the CSU
system, CSUSM i s continuing
its growth, the Global Studies department now o ffers students the opportunity to also
major in Global Studies.
"Getting the program started
was largely the work of an
advisory group of faculty f rom
these departments under the
early leadership of Professor
Scott Greenwood who was the
f irst Program Director for the
program," said Global Studies Program Director Patty
Seleski, who is also a professor
of history. "Program development was assisted by a generous Department of Education
Title VI grant which allowed
faculty to put the major
together and to train in interdisciplinary teaching."
The new
interdisciplinary major is built off of
the program's minor
degree
program,
allowing
students to choose
f rom a list of
approved
course s
fr o m
various
departin e n t s
including history,
p olitical
science,
economics, modern
language,
literature and
writing, sociology, women's

CSUSM M en's Soccer falls 1 -0 to Simon Fraser in A .I.I. Championship
November 14, 2009
Cougar men's soccer gave everything it had in the A.I.I. Finals on Saturday, but the spirited e ffort was not
enough to overcome top-seeded Simon
Fraser, as CSUSM fell l-0.The loss
ends what has been an incredibly mem-
orable season for Cal State San Marcos
men's soccer.
Coach Ron P ulvers' senior-heavy
squad got off to a 1-3 start but r efused
to give in, playing their way to an
11-6-1 f inal record and w inning two
post-season matches as the #3 seed.
However,
Simon
Fraser,
the
#3-ranked team in the nation, proved
to be too much Saturday night. The
Cougars hung with them throughout,
actually holding a 7-6 advantage in
shots on goal and a 5-3 lead in corner
kicks. But a Simon Fraser goal in the
75th minute would prove to b e the only
stat that m attered, as the Clan held on
to win the conference title.
"The team played great and provided
a lot of resistence," commented Coach
Pulvers. " This is one of my f avorite
teams I 've ever coached."
Women's Soccer National Championship pairings announced
the second round of the 32-team tourna^
ment, which will take place in Decatur,
Alabama.
CSU San Marcos, who won its second
consecutive Association of Independent
Institutions (A .1.1.) Conference Championship on Saturday, comes in with a
10-4-4 record. At one point the team was
3-4-3, but Coach Ron Pulvers' squad is

Cal State San Marcos women's soccer
will face 8th-seeded Vanguard University in the 2009 NAIA Women's Soccer
National Championship Opening Round.
The opening round game will be
hosted by Vanguard in Costa Mesa on
Saturday, November 21st. The teams will
be competing for the right to advance to
riding an 8-game unbeaten streak.
Vanguard, who defeated Point Loma
on Saturday to win the Golden State Athletic Conference Championship, enters
as the #8 seed in the nation with a 12-1-6
record.
This will be the second time these
teams have met this season. Back on
September 9th, Vanguard traveled to San
Marcos and stifled the Cougar offense to
win a 1-0 decision that saw CSUSM only
put two shots on net.
Of course, the Cougar squad from September was at a very different place than
the one who will take the field this Saturday, so expect a competitive and hardfought contest between these regional
rivals!

BY AMY SALISBURY
Copy Editor
Try as I might, sometimes I
just cannot escape the looming
nature 6f pop culture. I know
what I like, and most of the time
am able to stick with my books,
my movies, and my music. But
something odd happened this
week.
I listened to the New Moon
soundtrack.
After my initial shock of realizing what I had done, I rechecked
the tracklisting: Death Cab
for Cutie, Grizzly Bear, Thom
Yorke, The Killers, Bon Iver,
among others. This couldn't be
the soggy-sweet pop record surely matched
with the Twilight franchise.
Subjectivity aside (irony included), I feel
I should make my ignorance of Twilight
known. I saw the first Twilight movie and
didn't read any of the books, and never had
any intent to see New Moon.
Still, I had the idea that Twilight was
for weird 14-year-olds and weirder people
with vampire fetishes. I do realize that
there are legitimate fans who enjoy the
writing immensely, but that generalization remains among non-fans of the series
(i.e., most males and the oddball girl). But
this record had some serious music on it.
Things just didn't add up, and nothing
explained it.
The real shock here is that Thom Yorke's
track, "Hearing Damage," is exclusive to
the soundtrack. Yorke, along with his band
Radiohead, left their record label and have
essentially released works on their own
terms since. So speculation might lead
the listener to believe Yorke thought New
Moon was relevant enough to be the vehicle

Enjoy a good lunch with some good music
Students can enjoy live music at the
Big Cat Food Court this Wednesday from
12-lpm outside under the patio shade.
Called "Radical Tunes," the Big Cat Food
Court and Cougar Shops have started a new
tradition to offer live music for students to
enjoy while eating their lunch.
"We want to further develop a fun and
exciting atmosphere at the Big Cat Food Court
and support "Student Life" on campus," said
Tipper Philips, marketing specialist for the
University Auxiliary and Research Services
Corporations (UARSC). "Having good
music with good food and drink is an outstanding opportunity to improve the environment in the Big Cat Food Court."
Having two prior performances, Philips says it's a new tradition that is still in
its early stages of development. "We just
started this and are feeling out the interest
level."
With the office of Global studies offering international week at CSÜSM Nov
16-19, the Big Cat Food Court celebrates it
its own way by featuring a different international menu item each day. Flavors from
around the world are offered to students for
a chance to taste recipes from overseas and

for his individual track release.
Bon Iver, one of the newest staples to
indie music, appears with an achingly
beautiful track called "Rosyln." Endlessly successful band The Killers offer
"A White Demon Lover," a song reflecting more of their first album's style that
took them so far. Even Lupe Fiasco makes
an appearance with "Solar Midnite," an
unusual song befitting the general tone of
the soundtrack.
I figure you can make one of two
conclusions about this: all these artists
subjected themselves to the world of
the Twilight cultural phenomenon just
because they coliid, or th¥y took advan-*
tage of Twilight's success to get their
music heard by people outside their fanbase. Or, music editors Charles Martin
Inouye and Gerard McCann just liked
these songs as much as I did and found
they fit great with the cinematography.
Whatever the case, the soundtrack is a
serious success, exactly the complement
expected for New Moon.

Looking for Adventure?
Looking for adventures in
your life? For fun? For an opportunity to prove to yourself
that you can make a difference in
this world?
All of these needs are answered when you become an
Adventure Team Leader with
Los Caballeros de Aventura, an
non-profit organization whose
mission it is to divert at-risk youth
away from gangs and gang activity.
They do this by scheduling a
continual series of high adventures such as hiking, camping,
fishing, scuba diving, mountain
climbing, and many, many other
activities. With this type of program, Los Caballeros has become part of a successful community effort to reduce drive-by
shootings in Escondido by 54%
in the past year.
Los Caballeros is looking for
young adults for the Adventures
themselves as well as to work in
the elementary, middle, and
high school classrooms, and/
or in the home outreach program. Great leadership training is provided and participation results in great companionship and great new friendships. Most of all volunteers
will receive a great sense of
accomplishment. Opportunities exist in both Escondido
and San Marcos. If you are
interested, call Lyle Davis at
739-8209.

Facility Services, will monitor the performance of the new contractor. Please let Mr.
Carlson know (at 752-4600) of any comments you have.
4. Are we moving away from the
Mission Statement: there were questions
about whether multiculturalism, writing in
all courses and the role of a second language.
The second language discussion has its roots
in both the international emphasis and in the
acquisition of an understanding of another
culture. The students suggested another University Mission Statement Day (UMSD) type
activity which deals specifically with these
issues. We will talk with the student and
faculty leadership about another UMSD to
see if there is interest in pursuing this event.
5. How will we communicate the
discussions of this Forum to the University
Community and especially the students?
Through the PRIDE is one way (and the
reason for this article).
6. What is the policy on students
getting e mail accounts and to whom should
we go to get accounts? When a student
wants an e-mail account, they should contact
Teresa Macklin in Computing Services (7524787). She will then set them up with their
own e-mail account.
7. What can be done about increasing student participation in campus events?
Attending students complained about the
posting policy and the lack of available space
in very public areas for posting. We will need
to revisit this issue this semester. I would
suggest a draft by Associated Students after
discussions with Sandy Kuchler, Associate
Dean of Student Affairs and Bridget BaileyMeier, Director Student Activities and Alumni
Services
8. There is not enough time between
Final Exams and there can be too many in
one day. The finals schedule is set, as a
policy matter, by committee. I will ask Ms.
Eugenia Villamarin to review the situation
and check into the number of conflicts or
multiple exams in one day which are in the
fall schedule. . To extend the final exam
schedule to five or more days from four
would require action on the part of Academic

Senate. If you have any comments about the
final exam schedule, please contact Ms.
Villamarin at752-4326. Remember that once
the exam is over, the faculty member's work
on thefinalstarts. The earlier that the exams
are finished, the faster they can be graded.
9. Why aren't parking regulations
changed for weekends? Why can't students park in the "upper lots" on Saturday, Sunday and after 5 pm on weekdays?
Per Mr. Arnold Trujillo, Director of Public
Safety, students with a current semester parking permit are allowed to park in the faculty/
staff parking lot on Saturdays and Sundays.
Effective immediately (see related article elsewhere in this issue of The Pride), evening
students currently enrolled at CSUSM who
hold a current semester parking permit may
exchange that permit for a Special "PM"
Parking Permit at Public Safety Services in
the University Services Building. The Special "PM" Parking Permit allows students to
park in the faculty/staff parking lot after 5 PM
and in the student parking lots any time.
There is no charge for the permit exchange.
Enrollment in evening classes will be verified before a "PM" Parking Permit is issued.
Public Safety business hours are Monday
through Friday, 8 AM to 10 PM.
10. When will athletics come and
will it change the academic climate around
here? At present, especially in light of the
budget difficulties there is no motion towards
intercollegiate athletics. We will be moving
toward recreational sports (and hope to have
some on campus) in the near future. There
has been talk of beach volleyball, some informal soccerfieldsand so on but there is are no
formal plans yet.
11. There is difficulty with the writing requirement as there are many ways to
write formally and students get confused
between the styles of MLA, APA, and that
which the College of Business Administration wants. I will bring this issue up to the
deans of the College and to Dr. Ken Mendoza
who is director of the Writing Center. If
anyone has specific comments about the writing requirement, please call Richard Molloy
(752-4900), Dr. Mendoza (752-4076) or Richard Millman (752-4050) so that we can
include them into the discussions. Once we
understand all of the issues, we will bring
them to the appropriate faculty groups for
policy decisions.

�GHANA
TRIP
Contemplated
for '94-95
Have you ever really envisioned yourself as a guest in a village in Ghana, not just
watching but participating in traditional
dances? Do you have any curiousity about
West African political systems or how computers fit into plans of a developing country?
In January 1993, a group of 13 CSU
San Marcos students, faculty and related community members answered some of these
questions for themselves in a three-week visit
to Ghana. Initial meetings to organize a
similar trip for December 1994-January 1995
are currently being held by the Ghana Project,
a campus organization established by previous Ghana exchange participants and other
interested people.
Whether you are serious or curious,
whether your interest is Africa or Mexico,
whether you are an experienced world traveler or have never made it beyond Poway,
you are encouraged to learn more about this
extraordinaiy opportunity. If you were not
able to attend Professor Jennie Spencer
Green's presentation on Nov. 18, more information about the Ghana Trip and the Ghana
Project can be obtained at the Peer Advising
Center in Arts and Sciences or in the campus
Student Activities Office.

In-Course Honors work at CSUSM is
designed to serve academically motivated
undergraduate students, who desire to meet
and feel prepared to meet expanded intellectual demands, and who are committed
to the highest standards of rigorous academic performance. In-Course Honors
work occurs in currently scheduled courses
and is based on a contract between the
student and the eligible faculty instructor
for enriched academic work that extends
the subject matter of the course. The
CSUSM University Honors Program is
designed to serve eligible students who
wish a sustained Honors experience ineluding student/faculty camaraderie and
community involvement and who wish to
graduate with University Honors. University Honors is distinct from Latin Honors
which is based soley on grade point averae
8Students involved in all Honors work at
CSUSM will be challenged to demonstate excellent academic performance,
extending beyond standard course demands, to achieve growth of intellectual
independence and initiative, and toicontribute to the scholarly environment of the
institution. Honors work is offerred as part
of the Mission Statement of CSUSM to
"uphold a high level of academic scholarship in research and teaching" with the
ultimate goal "to enable students to realize
their potentialities as enlightened individuals and productive members of society in a
world of change."
Students, may self-select to participate
in In-Course Honors work at any stage of
their academic career by pursuing an Honors contract in any currently scheduled
course taught by a permanent faculty member. Any student, regardless of test scores
and grade point average, may decide that a
particular course, in any semester, provides the opportunity to apply for Honors '
participation. A preliminary list of preapproved courses in which Honors contracts are encouraged appears in the Class
Schedule each semester. The Honors contract enables students to participate in the
regular class while doing additional Honors work. The interested student should
contactthepermanentfaculty member who
will teach the course in order to develop
jointly an Honors contract. Alternatively,
students interested. in a specific course
listed in the current Class Schedule and
taught by a permanent faculty member
may contact the Director of the University
Honors Program in 6227 Craven Hall.
Recognition of successful completion of each
in-Course Honors contract is made on the
student's official transcript and on the
student's semester grade report,
T h e student and permanent faculty member will collaborate on the work that will
constitute the Honors portion of the course,
T h e University Honors Committee must app r o v e both the In-Course Honors portion of
t h e course and the specific contract work,
Honors Contract forms will be available from
participating faculty, from the Director of the
University Honors Program in 6227 Craven
Hall, or from the Office of Curriculum Serv i c e s i n 5 2 i o Craven Hall. All approvals
m u s t be obtained prior to the end of the
second week of classes,
Students may become members of the
University Honors Program by completing at
least two Honors Courses with grades B or
better and holding a CSUSM grade point
average of 3.2 or better. Continuation requires Honors credit in at least one course for
every other semester of enrollment as a
CSUSM student and maintenance of a
CSUSM grade point average of 3.2 6r better,
Completion of the University Honors Prog r a m requires 12 units of In-Course Honors
w o r k, the 3-unit Honors Seminar University
400, documentation of at least 40 hours of
meaningful community service, and a
CSUSM grade point average of at least 3.2.
University 400 is an all-University Honcourse restricted to students in the University Honors Program. It is based on a
seminar model, and it will entail a high level
Df student preparation and intellectual engagement between students and professor,
This seminar is the capstone course, the culm i na tion of an academically challenging and
rewarding Honors experience, shared by all
University Honors Program students. The
community service requirement may be satisfied by a very broad spectrum of qualifying
activity intended to help to instill a sense of
concerned citizenship. Each Honors Program participant Collaborates with the University Honors Committee in order to define
t h e i r qualifying service activity. Completion
Qf t h e University Honors Program will be
explicitly noted on the student's diploma and

�Volunteers tell their story
By Claire Langham
Service-Learning Coordinator
More than 100 students told their stories
of volunteering last week on Monday, November 8 and Tuesday, November 9 at a
Volunteers' Table in the Plaza. Responses
ranged from "I could write a book about my
volunteering experiences" to " I've always
wanted to volunteer but haven't had time yet
- but when I do, I would like t o . . . " and they
continued by describing the type of involvement they would most enjoy.
These volunteering experiences and desires were gathered in interviews on the spot
or written by students on a short questionnaire. Information about CSUSM's students' past, present and future (desired)
volunteer activities, reflections and comments were gathered by some of the students, staff, and faculty serving on the Outreach Service-Learning Sub-Committee, as
well as some of the Circle K members.
November 8th was the first day of "Service
Week" for this club that is dedicated to
serving the community.
Students' experiences on volunteering
provide information so that these endeavors
can be recognized and shared with others.
Sharen Wahl, a Liberal Studies major, stated
that, "Volunteering is a great way to explore
the working/career world while one is at the
decision-making stage. It provides the opportunity to experience without full commitment." Sharen had first volunteered in a
veterinary hospital which led to later volunteer work for Project Wildlife. More recently, she had volunteered in a 5th grade
class, and now in the 4th grade as part of the
requirements for ED 350. During the past
two years she has been a Liberal Studies Peer
Advisor volunteer here on campus. Sharen,
like many others, balances her commitments
while prioritizing school studies and family
obligations. Many commented that volunteering was rewarding and fulfilling. Naomi
Fink, aLiberal Studies major from Temecula,
commented, "Little things that happen make
volunteering all worth it. I love to help
people and volunteering allows you to meet
a lot of special people also. There's so many
benefits to volunteering that won't all fit
here." Naomi promises to share a nonfiction story she wrote about her experiences
in a future issue.

THE PRIDE/ FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19,1993
"For Colored
Girls Who Have
Considered
Suicide When
the Rainbow is
Enuf"
By P eter Gorwin
Critic-At-Large
Ntozake Shange wrote "For
Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is
E nuf' in the early 70's, but the play
still resonates. The playwright has
strung together a series of character
monologues with a thread of female
consciousness running through
them all, an ode to the alienation of
black women in America. Herjazzbased prose style reminds us of such
writers as Xam Wilson Cartier and
Ralph Ellison; her characters deliver their many colored break-away
riffs directly to the audience like
flute, violin, or even tenor sax solos. Shange simply names her players the Lady in Yellow, Lady in
Purple, Lady in Red, Lady in Orange, Lady in Green, Lady in Blue,
and Lady in Brown—seven characters in search of their true identities
as mothers, wives, lovers or daughters, spanning various levels of the
American social class structure.
The play's director, Arajeje, has
adroitly guided the entire company
of actresses into unselfish performances with an approach which has
almost entirely eliminated the selfconsciousness and stiffness usually
witnessed in amateur productions.
All of the actresses adequately take
stage when their moment to shine
comes; some sing their songs energetically and bravely, while others
sing their songs more modestly.
Nonetheless, every actress performs
like a natural woman: Dilcie D.
Perez, Lady in Blue, distinguishes
herself by speaking Shange's prose
with great confidence, truth and
passion; DorindaMcCombs,Lady
in Green, understands what it takes
to make Shange come alive, openly
playing her monologues with a
city-smart abandonment; Denise
Hollis, Lady in Orange, brings a
straightforward, blues thing to her
stories; Karen Walker, Lady in
Brown, holds her own as the most
experienced actress in the company; Ramona De Sanchez, Lady
in Purple, brings a quiet, sexy,
sophistication to her performance;
Tricia Henlon, Lady in Red, demonstrates enormous inner life,
economy and intensity for a young
actress; and Deborah Davis, Lady
in Yellow, says her words with
great truth, simplicity and honesty.
This labor of love transcends
the dimly lit, sadly inadequate confines of what passes for a theater in
ACD 102. Wisely, the set and
costumes were kept simple, focusing the audiences attention on the
high degree of naturalness and, for
the most part, energy that these
women bring to the stage, again,
highly unusual for beginning actresses. Frank Bailey-Meier's
original funky, blues-based music
contributed just the right back-
Cast Members include (L-R): Denise Hollis, Dorinda McCombs, Karen Walker, Deborah Davis, Dilcie
Perez and Center, Ramona de Sanchez
THEATER
REVIEW
ground for the actresses to play off
of, blending nicely with the sound
and movement that the company
has brought to Shange's words.
Bridget Bailey-Meier is to be
commended for her vision in getting this production presented, exactly the kind of grass-roots, cultural events which should be encouraged and nurtured here on campus. I t's regrettable that this production ran for only two performances. It would be great if it could
be resurrected at some point so that
more students might have the opportunity to appreciate it.

SOUTH MARKET STREET
JAZZ BAND AT CSUSM
Exciting Dixieland jazz, laughter,
and good times abound when the South
Market Street Jazz Band performs.
Full-time, professional musicians, the
SMSJB features hot soloists, great
showmanship and stylistic versatility.
Almost everyone in the band plays
more than one instrument, allowing the
SMSJB to cover the gamut from
traditional to swing to modern.
For more than 25 years, the band
members have combined their worldclass playing at shows and festivals
across the country, with performances
with big name entertainment such as
Woody Herman, Buddy Rich, Sarah
Vaughn, and others.
The South Market Street Jazz
Band will perform at CSUSM on
Sunday, Nov. 21 at 3 PM in Academic
Hall Room 102. Ticket prices are
$3.00 for CSUSM students and $5.00
for General Admission. Tickets may
be purchased at the CSUSM bookstore
or by phone (752-4730). For more
information about the South Market
Street Jazz Band, call the Arts and
Lectures office at 752-4945.
A CSUSM Quilt?
A University seal, a University mascot—OK! But a University quilt? "Why
not," said a group of students, faculty and
staff who were part of the first years of
CSUSM.
Quilts are traditional ways to record
important events. Quilts are also traditional
ways to build friendships and a sense of
community. For all these reasons, plus a
desire to break the routine of hard work which
goes with building a new university, the Quilting Bees came together in the summer of
1992 to design a signature quilt to memorialize the first two years at CSUSM.
In choosing a design, the quilters looked
for a simple pattern which would incorporate
a wide variety of donated fabric. They decided on Roman Square which allowed them
to include a white "signature block" in each
of the squares.
Signatures for the quilt were solicited
in Founders Plaza on a hot October day. For
a $2 donation, anyone could sign. $300 was
collected for donation to the Carol Cox Scholarship for re-entry students. Now the quilt
top sits in a frame about half quilted.
Beginning on Tuesday, Nov. 23, the
Quilting Bees will display the quilt in the
Dome, demonstrate quilting techniques and
share quilting stories. The quilters hope to
finish this project soon so they can start on
another. Experienced or not, everyone is
invited to participate. If Tuesday is not your
day but you are still interested in quilting, see
Pat Worden or Leslie Zomalt in the College
of Arts and Sciences for further information.

American's right to choose to embrace the
dangers of drug abuse once he or she has been
presented with all the facts. When druginduced actions become a threat to the safety
of others, of course, punitive action is certainly warranted. And, as with alcohol, drugs
must remain unavailable to children unable

�Letters to the Editor
Alcohol Policy is An
Interim Policy
Dear Editor:
In your recent article entitled "Campus
Alcohol Policy" which appeared on November 5, the Associated Students Council
felt that one important item was treated
negligibly. The A.S. would like to stress to
all students that the alcohol policy in place
at the present time is an interim policy.
Until the policy is approved by both the
Associated Students and Academic Senate,
it will not have permanence. However,
once the policy is voted upon and approved
it will be difficult to change or replace.
This fact remains important since at
present, the policy remains a temporary one
and as such is still open to input and change
from all students, faculty and staff. If you
have any questions, comments, or recommendations regarding the policy, the Associated Students urges you t o make your
voice heard as soon as possible by calling
the Associated Students' o ffice at752-4990,
or by stopping in at Commons 205. Once
this policy is in place it will be extremely
burdensome to change. Please do not wait
until it is too late to be heard.

�"Within this Garden"
photographs of Ruth Thome-Thornsen
By Peter Gorwin
Critic-At-Large
The Museum of Photographic Art has
Opened its new show with the exhibitions of two
photographers who share more than their gender; both women possess a love of subjects
ancient and mysterious. I found their work so
compelling that I decided to review them separately. In the last issue, I concentrated on the
work of Linda Connor. In this issue I discuss
Ruth Thorne-Thomsen's fantastical exhibition,
"Within this Garden."
Thomsen builds her images around themes
from historical eras, movements in literature,
and mythology. By blending separate images
normally linked to diverse times and places, she
achieves what may best be described as New
Age Surrealism: her photos effectively transcend time and space, capturing dream states
neither from the past, the present, nor the future,
but somewhere we can not exactly identify. Her
romantic, avant-garde images pay homage to
such painters as Dali and Magrite but possess
enough originality to stand on their own.
Thomsen stimulates our imaginations by using
symbol, metaphor and irony ; the veiy existence
jofthis cutting edge work shoots down unimaginative critics who have suggested that photography has limitations as a viable and versatile
artistic medium.
Thomsen rejects the conventional camera,
resorting to a pinhole camera which may be
constructed out of any light-tight chamber simply by drilling a minute hole in the front of it. By
^creating a camera out of something as simple as
cal treat on many levels.
The extreme depth-of-field produced by the
tiny pin hole create optical illusions related to
object sizes from the foreground to the background of the image. Playing with this allows
Thomsen to create some of her paradoxes and
ironies. For example, sometimes a person standing in the background seems dwarfed by a seemingly huge object in the foreground, actually a
small facsimile of a classical statue, pyramid, or
monolith. In using these simple techniques,
Thomsen make sophisticated statements about
our preconceptions and expectations of what we
expect from an image made by a camera—
usually a safe and conventional reaffirmation of
our own lies and myths. She cleverly uses her
camera to make these didactic images which
challenge our images of the truth, thereby making us question those safe realities which we
cling to. Thomsen clearly shows us that the
camera lies, and that it allows us to use it as both
a rhetorical and artistic medium. In this regard,
she also makes a Clear philosophical allusion to
the skepticism created when discoveries and
events challenge our perception of the truth, an
homage to the atmosphere which has spawned
past golden ages.
a shoe box or an empty cylindrical oat
meal box, Thomsen creates a metaphor
for her own images. Her work is a true
paradox—photographs which are dif-
ferent from the way we usually think
of them, made by art unconventional camera. This makes her entire exhibit a phenomenal, whimsi-
Ruth Thorne-Thomsen now has a book of her
adventurous work which may be purchased at
the Museum of Photographic Art's bookstore.
The Museum is located at 1649 El Prado in
Balboa Park.
�CHASQUISUSM
Andean Music Lives at C
CHASQUI is one of two artist-in-residence ensemble groups proudly supported by CSUSM as
part of its Global Arts Program. The group was
formed by Don Funes, a visual and performing arts
professor; composer, conductor; recording engineer; chamber and orchestral performer, musicologist and ethnomusicologist.
Funes received his
doctorate in musical arts from the University of
Oregon. Dr. Funes1 interest in music and culture led
him to conduct and intensive study of Andean
music. He began in 1986, and in 1991 received an
NEH Fellowship to study Latin American music and
culture.
CHASQUI plays music from the Andean region
of South America on over 20 different instruments
unique to the peoples of this area. The guitar is the
only European instrument that the ensemble uses.
Although they favor the music of Bolivia and Peru,
they also play music from Ecuador; Chile and Argentina, the countries that were part of the Inca
Empire. They also sing in Spanish and Quecha.
CHASQUI features Dr. Don Funes, Fermin
Sanchez and Eduardo Garcia (originally from
Mexico), Raul Ay lion from Bolivia and Gunnar Biggs.
The group is dedicated to bringing appreciation of
Andean music and culture to America. You can
hear CHASQUI perform Wednesday, December 1,
at 12 Noon, in ACD 102.
Members of Chasqui are (left to right): Fermin Sanchez, Eduardo Garcia, Dr. Don Funes, Gunnar Biggs and

THE PRIDE/ FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1993
Seeing Red
By Sarah Spaid
A red dress ignites the fantasies of men.
The other red dress lands you your new
job. Sports cars speed through the night.
Flashy, heated moments stir powerful
emotions. The power you feel when you
attend a board meeting in red socks.
Reflections of light glistening as the sun
sets beyond the horizon. A Porsche speeds
through Malibu, leaving a mere red trace.
Illicit remarks painted on slashed canvas.
Soft spoken words on steamy phone lines.
Red chiffon scarves and straw hats worn
opening day at the races. Heated passions
engorge the imagination when lipstick
smoothes warm, wet lips. Pursed red lips
leave no room for kissing. The mark a
woman leaves on a m an's face. The mark
mother leaves on her litde angel. A hint of
suspicion—smeared red lipstick all over
her face. Consequently, days later, lipstick
found on his collar.
Strawberry creams atop a torte. Strawberry shortcake, a freckled-face doll. Juicy
red raspberries, awaiting their digestion in
the pit of a red-walled stomach. Fornication at night; sex in the day; a quick frolic
in the hay? Ruby red grapefruit, cherries
the color of blood. Childhood memories of
that bicycle spill, an open wound, and that
gash in your knee, your father in a rage.
Bloodshot eyes, suspicions arise. Drunkards, d ruggies... lover's quarrels, heated
discussions, Othello's rage of jealousy.
Lucille Ball. Red heads. Charred
remains of smoldering pains brand memories in our heads. Red roses brought on a
warm summer n ight Red roses flung with
all her might. A bloody fingers erupts from
the broken vase. A scorpion sting when
influenced by fiery mars. Cardinals with
red feathers at r est Power and austerity
emerge as his red wings start in flight, like
an English army clad in red, ready to fight

he daydreams of her eating i t The power
he feels when he receives an "A."
Hemoglobin, red blood cells. Blood
clots. Red wine devoured at dusk. Dracula
dripping with tonight's dessert. A library
tailored in dark, rich wood, filled with
lingering cigar smoke, and the smoking
jacket for tonight's entanglements.
Red flags represent Russian revolution,
Chinese communism. Oppression equates
bloodshed. Red, white and blue mean
freedom for me and you. Red signifies
death to the Crips, and life for the Bloods.
Evoking violence, betrayal of life, and
death to the innocent, red portrays bleak
pictures in the neighborhood, el barrio, as
the Mexican, Chicanos, and Latinos say.
Redrum, murder. Maraschino cherries full
of infamous red dye #5. RedM&Ms
disappear and reappear. Cancer-causing
agents disappoint unwitting children. Santa
Claus brings happy thoughts and stockings
stuffed with lollipops. Red ribbons, red
bows, merry Christmas with the fire aglow.
Firemen to the rescue. Heroes of
children, saviors of us all. Sirens shouting,
alarms alerting us to get out of the way of
the help on its way. Fire hydrants. Fire
dogs—Dalmatians with red collars. Brake
lights, traffic jams, stop signs. Inevitable
red lights flash when late and in a rush.
Congestion. Confusions. Frustration. In
cartoons, heads turn red, and release steam
via blood-filled ears. We go straight down
in a blaze of glory. Conversely, we go up
to the flashy red lights of heaven, or the
deepest pits of hell, depending on our own
subjective views.
Red bricks provide meals for bricklayers,
and shelter for their families. Red roofs
insulate tiled homes and furnish the Baja
Coast with aesthetic delights. Roll out the
red carpet; the queen arrives today.
Observing her royal red throne, we all
obey.

The Great American Smokeout, an event that encourages
smokers to quit for the day (and
permanently), was celebrated at
CSU San Marcos on Thursday,
November 18 in Founder's
Plaza. Peer Education and
Support (PEAS), an official d ub
on campus, had coordinated the
event and invited Kaiser
Permanente, Palomar Pomerado
Hospital, and UCSD to the cam-'
pus.
The organization of nine students, which includes PEAS
Peer Educator Karyn Harmon,
oversaw the organization of
tables and distribution of information and literature. "We've
had a lot of people stop by - a lot
of smokers and a few people
who have quit for the day," stated Karyn. The American Cancer
Society provided pamphlets, flyers, and banners for the
Smokeout. Their videotape
"Advertising: How Does it
Rate?" played on a television
monitor and showed 14 different
no smoking commercials and
ads that were funded by the state
of California.
Although unable to attend the
event, UCSD Medical Center
supplied CSUSM with "You
Can Take Charge" cards that
offered a I-8OO-NO-BUTTS
smoker's helpline. A giant cigarette constructed by the PEAS
members blew a stream of
smoke to crowds of passing students while smokers and volunteers alike met face to face over
help materials. During their free
noontime barbecue in front of
the Dome, Associated Students,
Inc. (ASI) sent students to the
Smokeout event by advertising
signs for free drinks up at the
Smokeout table.

Dear Editors:
RESPONSE TO THE UNIVERSITY STORE
I've held my peace as long as possible. It is time for someone to
voice dissatisfaction with the administration of CSUSM, The Pride,
and the entire Cal State college system. This past Thursday 11-11-99
was Veteran's Day. There was nothing about it in the newspaper.
There were no planned activities by the administration. There wasn't
even an acknowledgment by the school in any way to honor the veterans except for the appearance of a few students wearing items that
identified them as veterans. It is disgraceful that the Cal State college
system has as its policy one that refuses to acknowledge the most
multi-cultural organization in this country- the United States military.
This is especially true f or CSUSM, which prides itself on being
founded on multi-cultural principles. Nowhere in this country is there
an organization more integrated in gender, ethnicity, and wide-ranging belief systems. There are three flag poles in front of the campus,
two are always flying a flag. Hie third stands empty the majority of
the time, Would it have been a harmful gesture of respect for the
administration to have flown a POW-MIA flag from this standard in
recognition of the service of veterans? There are a number of veterans
at CSUSM who are students. I 'm sure there are a number of faculty
that are veterans, though for some reason they don't wish to acknowledge it. While most other groups have their special celebrations and
designated awareness days, weeks and months, and the system
ensures that these are advertised and supported, the veteran has one
day a year designated to honor her/him. It is shameful that the
CSUSM administration is so blatantly neglectful. Remember, without
the veterans, none of you would have this campus, your educational
opportunities, nor your job.
I was very happy to see the prompt response by the University Store. I think this demonstrates how
our administration seems to have a genuine concern about this important issue of labor rights,
However, I was hoping that the response would have been more specific.
Respectfully,
R. D. Hawkins
Dear Editors:
In response to your Editors' Response in the last issue of The Pride, I
believe it is important to clarify some errors that your staff had made
while addressing the College Republicans.
h The Pride said: "Contrary to your statement that there has been a
problem between The Pride and the College Republicans..." My
statement never included the word problem as I, like you, do not consider the College Republicans as having a problem with The Pride
paper. I did say, "I aip not happy about the recent happenings that
have been taking place..." Happenings do not necessarily equate to
problems.
2. The Pride said: "you were, until recently, listed as the Membership
Chairman of the YAF..."
I was the Membership Director, not Chairman. Minor mistake, but
nevertheless could be easily misconstrued as me being the Chairman.
Thank you for taking note in that I am no longer a member of YAF.
3. As the Chairman of the College Republicans, I respectfully ask that
when The Pride Editors are handling disputes in which they have
with other student organizations, that they do not attempt to refute
their problems in the same Editors' Response that is directed to the
College Republicans. It would be greatly appreciated if you would
handle your disputes in separate articles.
Thank you for your time,
MikeSannella
Chairman
CSUSM College Republicans

In order for students to be sure we are not buying sweatshop garments in our bookstore, we need to
know what code of conduct is required. Not only do we need the details of that code, but we also need
to know who monitors and enforces the code, In addition, we need to know the factory locations of
the companies who supply our University Store.
There are good reasons why those last few details are important/First of all, there are companies who
create codes of conduct which are not acceptable. In El Salvador, for instance, a one day "living
wage" (which determined how much sweatshop employees were going to be paid) was based on calculating half the price of food for one day. That's it. No clothing. No shelter. No transportation. No
toys for kids. No money for educating kids or adults in the family. Just half of the cost of food.
The second reason 'specifics' are important is because whoever monitors and enforces the code is
very powerful in this industry. Companies who oversee their own codes are not objective. It is too
hard for them to see the injustices that they bring upon the laborers. To them it is just business as
usual. Also, it is often the case that managers and supervisors are merely doing what they can to keep4
up with the demands that come down from headquarters in corporate America.
The third request of naming factory locations is important because we need to know which American
companies truly do their business in America/ Recently, because of pressure being put on by students,
companies such as Nike and GAP(Gap, Baby Gap, and Old Navy) have started naming where their
factories are located. Of course, most of their manufacturing is done overseas in sweatshops. The millionaire and billionaire managers and owners of these companies gave the excuse that the responsibility was "out of their hands" because they couldn't be in all places at once to monitor labor conditions.
This is no excuse. I can't believe it is impossible to set up a monitoring system to make sure workers
are not suffering and starving in their factories. They just'don't Want to 'waste' their profits on such a
monitoring system.
At the "Students Against Sweatshops" conference, we had women who were former sweatshop
employees speak to us. They spent many hard years slaving over clothing made for colleges. When
these women tried to organize labor rights movements, they were fired, their families were threatened, and also the women were followed and told they would be killed.
This is why it is important to make sure that we truly are doing all we can to bring about equality. We
need to stop the horrible practices of sweatshops by making sure the people in corporate America
realize it is of utmost importance to the consumers that they give all laborers a living wage and treat
them with dignity.
I am happy that our University Store requires manufacturers to follow a code of conduct. However, I
hope that the details of this code are made public so that the students can decide if it is the code that
we want our clothing manufacturers to follow.
This is a very complicated issue. However, one detail is very simple: The people who make billions of
dollars from sweatshops are going to continue their abusive practices until the consumers demand
otherwise.

In regards to Joe's letter to the editor that appeared in the November 8 issue:
Joe, my gosh you spent a whole semester and a half at CSU San Marcos and just now realizing you're
bored? One would have to question why yoti didn't think of this BEFORE you enrolled here. It seems
to me there are a 'cazillion' colleges you could have picked from. Perhaps you should question why
you picked CSU San Marcos to begin with? Was it the price tag? The ease of which you got accepted?
Is it possibly the location to your home, etc.? Did your parents have say in the matter? Wow, I could go
on. I 'm just very curious why you DID choose CSU San Marcos—surely there had to be a good reason
for choosing a commuter college. Also you mentioned that the average age of the students here is 28.
I 've been brought up to think that people at any age can enrich and add to an environment, rather than
take away from it. You mention a lot of factors that contribute to this school being a bore. If you are so
interested in sports, then why didn't you pick Notre Dame or some other school? If your friends are all
"having the time of their lives" living in dorms, then why don't you change schools so you can be with
them? If you choose to stay at CSU San Marcos, then why don't you try joining one of the many successful clubs on campus, call the Associated Students Office, and just get yourself involved? However,
remember that CSU San Marcos has a writing requirement in all classes and that may limit the amount
of time you have to party. The bottom line i s that you have to decide what is important—a party life or
graduating on time, before you become "28" years of age.

Chalk Marks
By Victor Mireles
As the days of optimism fade
from view and the cold hard reality
of school work finally sets one into a
routine of study and sleep, there are
some things on campus that "remind
us that tiiiie truly flies while you're
alive. There are the leaves that have
turned a wonderful shade of brown,
the mountain behind the Science
Hall that has shrunk to the size of a
foothill, and the term papers that
seem to come all at one time, even
though they were assigned two
months ago.
Yet, as I walk the mile from my
car to the campus on top of the hill I
notice the once proud graffiti of rush

Because the Upward Bound

Look out and see the horizon and
notice how at sundown all the colors
of nature come out and reveal to all
below the beauty of the sky. Take
time and notice that many seem
locked in a permanent gaze downward, as if in anticipation of the
assignment to be soon given by the
faculty. Take time and notice that
there is more to life than school and
work and the daily grind. Notice that
we should learn not only from books
but also from the world around us.
Not even the best machine can produce the good feelings of warmth
that the sun gives to all. I thought
that before the start of finals week
and the ever-present holiday season,
that I should share a thought rather

else you do in the next two weeks,
that you look around and notice the

"Dogma-- one of my top 3 favorite movies of all time."
Dogma is a grand satire of the structure and practice of religions.
In this case, Catholicism happens to be the example. The movie
brings up controversial questions about the interpretation of God
and Jesus the Messiah. As an example, Cardinal Glick thinks the
crucified Jesus is too "depressing" for people, and resorts to a cartoon-like buddy Jesus giving the thumbs-up sign.
Dogma exposes other controversial ideas such as God as a
female, Jesus not being white, and Mary and Joseph having children after the virgin birth of Jesus, The movie asks the questions: If
these were the cases, would the religion change? Would the people
take the religion the same way? Would it make any difference to
the overall message of the religion?
After a blatant disclaimer to "cover one's ass," Dogma opens
with the Cardinal Glick (George Carlin) announcing the rededication of his New Jersey church as part of his "Catholicism WOW!"
campaign. Meanwhile, in a Wisconsin airport two fallen angels,
Loki (Matt Damon) and Bartleby (Ben Affleck), receive an anonymous letter informing them of the rededication and a church decree
that anyone who enters the church arches comes out cleaned from
sin.
For disobedience, God sent Loki and Bartleby to live with the
humans until the end of time. After the end of life, the fallen angels
are condemned to sit in front of the gates of heaven. Getting a
"clean slate" ensures the fallen angels a way back into heaven, so
Loki and Bartleby make their way toward the east coast.
At the same time, Bethany (Lindo Fiorentino), a doubtful
Catholic working in an abortion clinic, is visited by the voice of
God Metetron (Alan Rickman). Metetron tells Bethany of the news
and sends her on a mission to prevent the angels from entering
thechurch. On the way to New Jersey, Bethany teams up with the
prophets Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Dogma Director
Kevin Smith), the 13th apostle Rufus (Chris Rock), and the muse
Serendipity (Salma Hayek) to achieve the will of God.
This is a must-see movie for any person not easily offended by
the questioning of the structure of religion. The movie is classified
as a comedy, but the moments where comedy and theology intertwine may make the deeply devout or narrow minded miss the
overall message of the movie: Why do we believe in what to do?
Why can't we have ideas instead of believing anything?

Becoming More Aware of AIDS in Our Community
By Chandra Osborn, Peer Educator (CAPS) for The Pride
Many people fail to realize the
extent to which AIDS thrives
within a community. More
importantly, they lack the understanding that "it could happen to
me."
For many years, we have been
fed information on HIV and
AIDS. The need for prevention
and awareness has literally been
shoved down our throats.
Information overload may distance ourselves from the disease.
Thus, we continually forget how
important it is to acknowledge
that HIV is still alive; we fail to
realize that we are responsible
for controlling its spread. More
importantly, it is essential that we
remind ourselves that HIV can
affect our lives, and/or those we
love.
Many are unaware that North

The recently formed
Health, Counseling and
Disability Services (HCDS)
publicized their first newsletter,
The Mind
Body
Connection, last week to
introduce themselves to the
campus community. The publication is the first in a
planned series of four for the
academic year, and is funded
by a grant from the State
Lottery Commission, the
California Lottery.
This year students on our campus are having the pleasure of studying
under guest professor Christian Ferrer from the Marne-La-Vallee in Paris,
France. Professor Ferrer began teaching in 1968, and has instructed in many
schools around the globe. For Ferrer's first visit to the U.S. he chose to take
the opportunity to teach at CSUSM.
Ferrer prefers to work wherever h e travels, rather than to visit as a tourist.
He says, "I learn much more about America at CSUSM than I would at
Disneyland." Ferrer is currently teaching two courses here. They are "Death
in Contemporary French Literature" and "British Romance Poetry," and work
with such authors as Camus, Ionesco, Coleridge, and Shelley.
Professor Ferrer earned his first Masters of English at La Sorbonne Paris,
and then continued his education in England at Manchester and Lancaster
where he earned his Masters in English Linguistics. Only four years after
beginning his career he entered "l'Agregation" in English Linguistics, a competitive: "exam" taken by 2,000 candidates, and ranked fifth amongst all.
Unfortunately, Professor Ferrer must depart for France at the end Of the
semester, but he hopes to soon return. "I am a very, very happy CSUSM
t eacher... and I am hooked on California sunsets."
One example of collaboration under the HCDS banner
was the "Great American
Smoke Out" display in
Founder's Plaza on Thursday,
November 18. Peer facilitators from CAPS and the
Student Health Advisory
Board members joined forces
to promote a smoke-free day
and lifestyle. HCDS has also
finalized plans to promote
"HIV/AIDS Awareness Day"
on becember I, and has tentative plans for a pre-holiday
"Alcohol Awareness Day,"
said Nicholson.
The publication is dedicated to the late Sandra R.
Kuchler, who is noted as "one
of the pioneers of CSUSM's
student services programs."

On Monday, November 15, President Sun Zhong Qing and Zhang Ting Guo, Director
of International Relations, made a special visit to Cal State San Marcos on behalf of
Yantai University in the People's Republic of China. The distinguished guests were welcomed by the President's Cabinet, given a tour of the campus with Russ Decker, spoke
with Chinese students, and met with various department faculties.
Yantai's enrollment of 6,700 full-time and 3,000 part-time students make it very similar to CSUSM, although their university is several years older. Zhang noted the many
fields of study that are offered at Yantai which include science, engineering, literature, art,
international business, and marine studies.

I VALUES
i California State University San Marcos is an academic community dedicated to the values I
I o f:
I Intellectual Engagement: learning, teaching, discovery, and application of knowledge
Community: shared commitments to service, teamwork, and partnership
Integrity: respect, honesty, trust, fairness, academic freedom and responsibility
Innovation: creativity, openness to change,flexibility,responsiveness, and future focus |
At the moment, CSUSM and Yantai University are in the planning process of furthering contact between the two campuses. Some projects in the works include the possibility
of . Yantai sending over a faculty member for training in Computer Science and CSUSM
B.A's and M.A.'s teaching English in China for a year.
Yantai University President Sun and International Relations Directbr Zhang conversed
with Colleges of Business, Language, and Literature faculty. Literature and Writing
Studies department chair Dr. Yuan noted that currently there is no Chinese Studies program at CSUSM, but there may be the possibility of a cultural immersion program with
universities like Yantai in the future*
Dr. Yuan had visited Yantai University with Peter Zwick, Sheldon Lou, and President
Bill Stacy in October of 1996. Located in the Shandong Province of China, Dr. Yuan
states that Yantai University is at "at the edge of the sea" and describes it as "very pretty
and right near the beach." Since the signing of a formal agreement at theinitial meeting of
the two universities, two CSUSM students have traveled to Yantai University to teach
English between 1996-1998.

If you were watching ESPN on Tuesday, you may
have gotten a warm feeling after seeing your school
on television. Cal State San Marcos was broadcast on
television last Tuesday, November 16. Steve Scott,
the head coach for the cross-country team, commented on Arturo Barrio's Invitational in Chula Vista.
During a brief hiatus between the races, Sieve Scott
was interviewed and a few runners of the cross-country team were shown. When asked about his first time
as a coach, Scott informed ESPN viewers that since
his retirement, it is the second most amazing thing in
his life (the first being the marriage to his wife). Also,
if you missed it last week, the runners left for
Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Thursday, November 18 to
compete in Nationals and the team will return to
California on Sunday. Steve Scott and CSUSM's
cross-country team can be seen again on Thursday,
November 25, at 1:00am on ESPN.
New Biotech
Certificate Offered
at CSUSM
By Joni Miller
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
A new certificate program will be
offered at CSUSM in February 2000
to provide practical, hands-on training in Biotechnology. Ten courses
offered in the spring will focus on
ensuring marketable skills in the
biotech field.
* Loan programs are available.
Each course carries 1.5 continuing
education units. Successful completion of six of the courses is required
to qualify for the certificate. The
five-week classes are open to anyone, and are priced at $325.00 each.
In response to a growing need for
workers ready for employment, the
program will enhance the skills and
knowledge of science students.
Craig Halverson, Director of
Regulatory Affairs with Gen-Probe,
Inc. helped plan the idea and will be
an instructor of the program. "There
are not enough candidates applying
for jqjbs that support laboratory
research - jobs that are ancillary to
the laboratories," Halverson said.

"n a college student's life,
convenience is important.
I .A credit card makes life
a bit easier. With one swipe, the
bank electronically sends your
money to pay for what you need
or want.
Collegeboard (www.collegboard.com/) and the Federal
Trade Commission give some
tips to students about what to
do before signing up for a credit
card. The truth about a credit
card is that you, the spender, are
using money that they, the credit
card companies, are just loaning you money. It is a common
fact that some users forget. The
credit card has a preset limit on
how much one can spend, but
it brings severe consequences
if payments are not met. Depending on the card, there is a
minimum amount allowed as the
monthly payment. The problem
is that if you only pay the minimum, you need to send rest of
the payment in next month's bill
plus what you owe from that bill.
In the case that a user misses a
payment, the bank or credit card
company adds a harsh fine to the
bill. Sometimes thefineprint of
the contract hides unwanted fees.
In the end, it becomes a snowball of debt. Gloria Diaz, a third

there are solutions to preparing for
the multi-temperature-filled days

County "winter" looms in the distance, it is safe to say that layering
is the best method to prepare for the
weather. If you are not up for relying on just the sun to warm you,
arrive at school bundled up (especially recommended to those early
risers), then layer down as the day
wears on. Now along with books,

For being someone who has
never experienced snow, but can
barely dress right for this weather, I
am glad that it does not occur here.
One can only imagine the unprepared mayhem that would bring.
Many say that the four seasons
do not exist in southern California.
I really cannot disagree with that
statement. Often, it feels as though
the weather here is either hot or cold.
The hot days usually seem to
dominate the cold, and it would
not be surprising to find flip-flops
and sunny day beach shirts in the
wardrobes of San Diegans. Some
days we receive a much needed,
sympathy-driven cold spell, with
strong winds and the occasional
random rain clouds (that always
seems to follow you wherever
you go). What residents of Southern California are used to, but are
never quite prepared for, are the
unpredictable weather patterns.

Faculty visit to study variety of educational topics in C uba
"Busquedas investigativas"
BY TORIA BODDEN
FEATURES EDITOR
In late October, three faculty
members from CSUSM had a
unique opportunity to visit Cuba
and pursue academic research
with the help of Cuban educators.
The trip was organized by
Sheryl Lutjens, director of the
Women's Studies program, who
has academic ties to Cuba going
back over 30 years. She made her
first journey to Cuba in 1979 - a
two-week trip to study Cuban
health programs. Since then, she
has organized 14 trips to Cuba,
the largest for a group of over 50
participants. The last three have
been organized specifically as
research trips, since conferences
are not allowed by US regulations
banning travel to Cuba. The trip
in October was entitled "Busquedas Investigativas: Exploring
Cuban Educational Practices."
In this case, Lutjens gathered
17 educators from around the US.
Each submitted an in-depth research plan, as well as their curriculum vitae, in order to be approved for a travel visa to Cuba.
While the trip focused on education, each participant had his or
her own more specific area of interest. Dawn Formo, the associate
dean of instruction and academic
programs for the College of Arts
and Sciences, went to study literacy in Cuba. "Literacy rate in
Cuba is amazing - nearly 100%. I
went knowing what their literacy
rate [was] and within a year of the
revolution, they had eradicated illiteracy. We had an opportunity to
visit several kinds of campuses...
to see what's happening in the
pre-schools up to the universities, so I was just very interested
in what they are doing, because
this is amazing. I mean, how"
many countries can say this?"
Jodie Lawston, an assistant
professor in sociology, was focused on a completely different
topic, studying the effect of edu-
PHOTO COURTESY OF WIKIMEDIA.ORG
cation on incarceration rates. "As
you see, every year, there's a 'get
tough on crime' emphasis and
less funding [for] education in the
US," she said. "[I wondered] what
criminal justice would look like in
a society with high funding for education, whether they focus on rehabilitations versus punishment."
The group spent roughly a
week in Cuba, visiting Havana
and various locations in the Villa
Clara Province and touring various sites covering everything
from pre-school education to
Afrocuban studies to a special
school for blind and deaf children. Certain days were dedicated specifically to working
with Cuban educational partners on their research topics.
According to the trip participants, some of the most interesting cultural exchanges happened
outside the educational setting. "I
didn't know what to expect, but
the people we met were the most
gracious I've met. Kind, and gen-
erous... in every way," Formo
said. "I mean, to experience a
culture that has made it clear in
so many ways that there are two
main priorities, healthcare and
education. To feel what it is to
walk the streets in a culture where
those are the two priorities, and
with limited resources, you can't
do everything. You make sacrifices... People are not starving, but
there wasn't a lot. I mean, nobody
wastes. They know how to make
thoughtful, careful use of their resources. That was kind of 'wow.'"
Lawston also feels that her
viewpoint has been heavily influenced by the experience. "Since
I've gotten back, I'll tell you
that not a day that goes by that I
haven't thought about Cuba. One
of those most influential trips that
I've had," she said. "I didn't expect that to happen." She was also
surprised by something unexpectedly missing in Cuba. "I keep
telling all my students this, there
were no advertisements... There
weren't scantily clad women in
everything. All billboards were
political or educational. It really
brought it into light when we landed in Cancun, and the first billboard I saw was [for] Hooters."
Lutjens said she is already
planning another trip - her fifteenth, based on interest from colleagues who couldn't make it this
time. "We may make the gathering a biannual event, rather than
an annual one," she said. "Many
people who went this year or in
past years are interested in returning to continue their research."
She does state that undergraduate
students cannot attend, though it
may be possible for graduate students if they get special permission from the US government.
That may not always be the
case, though. "I also went to begin conversations about establishing faculty and student exchanges," Dean Formo said, "so that
Cal State faculty and students, if
interested, could study in Cuba."

On Nov. 18, Steven Greene
represented CSUSM at the Red
Dull Barmaster Cunipctitiun held
at Beachwood in Pacific Beach.
The Red Bull Barmaster Competition is a collegiate battle between CSUSM, SDSU, USD and
UCSD where college students are
chosen to represent their university and compete at bartending.
Before the competition, Steven Greene cheerfully said he
only had two aims: "To make
sure everyone has a great time,"
and, "to win the Red Bull Barmaster title for CSUSM."
Greene did his best to take
home the title for CSUSM but
came second to Ryan Neville
from SDSU. Greene did have a
large fan club cheering him on
through the night. The CSUSM
crowd had green bracelets representing our university and
many were dressed in t-shirts
with Greene's face on them.

The competing barmasters
served Red Bull-vodka cocktails to the many college students at the local pub where the
competition was held. Most of
the crowd was there to cheer for
their university, and booze flowed
through out the night until the
competition ended at midnight.

just start off with something easy, adopting
the motto, "If I can make it, everyone can
make it." Zien wanted to cook things that
other people would also be able to learn
quickly and cook themselves. Soon after
getting the idea, he made a demo tape and
sent it out to five experts in the business.
"Not one liked it," he said. As a result, he
sent it to local San Diego stations, and finally his demo landed in the right hands. The
show first started off as a segment a few
minutes long that was played twice a week.
Eventually, it grew into a half hour episode.
Since then, Zien has experienced an incredibly high level of success with the format. He's won 12 Emmys, produced three
books, and his show has become a national
series on Discovery's Health channel.

With all the classes, studying,
and tests, the fall semester seems
to just haveflownby and it's now
officially Thanksgiving break.
While we are just around the corner from our much-needed Winter Break, the Thanksgiving holiday is a relaxing breather right
beforefinalsweek. Thanksgiving
is a time to spend with family
and close friends. It is also a time
where we should recognize all
that we have in our lives. However, as poor college students, it can
be difficult toflyback and forth to
see family for the holidays. That
doesn't mean that those who are
here for Thanksgiving can't enjoy in all the holiday's festivities.
On the day of Thanksgiving, Nov. 25, there will be two
separate run/walk events. The
Everything from charity events to
yumpkinyie feasts for students
annual Run for the Hungry event
is held in downtown San Diego at Petco Park East. You can
choose to participate in a 10K
run, which begins at 7:10 a jn.,
or a 5K run/walk, which beings
at 8:15 a.m. The organizations
that will benefit from this race
are the San Diego Food Bank,
Foodmobile, and Jewish Family
Services. These nonprofit organizations are dedicated to helping
anyone who cannot afford food.
The event will also collect food
that these organizations can distribute on Thanksgiving. If you
can't personally make a donation,
there are other ways you can contribute. You can volunteer at the
event, which may include tasks
such as setting up tables with
food for the runners and walkers
pnee the race is over, or serving
them water throughout the run/
walk. The second option is to ask
friends or neighbors if they would
be willing to donate canned food
for the event. If you are interested
in participating in the actual race,
you need to sign up ahead of
time. To find more information,
you can visit the site at www.
kathylopere vents .com/hungry/ .
In Oceanside, Pacific Marine
Credit Union will be celebrating
their fifth annual O'side Turkey
Trot on Thanksgiving Day, an
event that benefits the Oceanside schools, the Move Your Feet
Before You Eat! Foundation, and
the Virginia Ann Scheunemann
Memorial Fund. The Turkey Trot
has several events, including a
five mile run/walk, as well as an
open 5K run/walk and a "locals
only" 5K run/walk, as well as
kids' events. The event has raised
over $46,000 in the last three
years and continues to honor
their commitment to fundraising
again this year. Whether you wish
to participate or just to check it
out, you can find more information on www.osideturkeytrot.com
But what if you find yourself
unable to leave campus? Start
the week's festivities early. The
American Language and Culture

Thanksgiving holiday, make sure
you drop by the Farmer's Market
that will be open the day before
Thanksgiving. It's a good way
to bypass crowds at the market
while still getting all your favorite fall foods and goodies. Go
with friends and plan a dinner
with the fresh locally grown produce you buy. It's right here on
campus in parking lot B, from 1
p.m. - 6 p.m. Either way, get creative, whether you are a student
from abroad or an American who
just can't get home for the break,
Thanksgiving can still be a great
time of year for college students.

By finishing in the top-30
overall (including individuals), CSUSM's top-three runners earned All-American status.
Leading the way was Cady
Villarreal. An Ail-American last
season, the junior had not finished first on the team in any race
this season. That changed at Nationals, with Villarreal running
18:18 to place 8th in the field.
Second on the team was
Kelly Thompson who placed
15th at 18:30. Thompson, a
sophomore who led CSUSM to
a win at its Conference Championship earlier this month, has
proven time and again that she
will come through at big meets,
and she did so on Saturday.
In 2009, Thompson was the
wild card that keyed CSUSM's
national championship. In 2010,
that honor belongs to Carol
Schryver, who ran a fantastic
18:33 to finish 17th in the field.
While Schryver was expected to
be in the team's top-five runners,
for hei* to finish third on the team
and in the overall top-20 was a
huge boost to Coach Scott's team.
Fourth was reliable Jessica Sandoval, who has been
the team's most consistent runner throughout the season. Sandoval finished 19th at 18:36.
Finally,
newcomer
Suzanne Cornwall sealed thé victory for the Cougars. Coming to CSUSM all the way
from Maryland, Cornwell took
29th in the field, and when she
crossed the finish line at 18:47,
the team victory was secured.
Also competing for the Cougars
were Jen Albright (79th; 19:26)
and Chelsey Cortez (84th; 19:29).
"In professional sports, the
hardest thing to do is repeat. The
next hardest thing is to be ranked
first and win," commented Coach
Scott. ' The girls overcame a lot,
and lived up to all the expectations. I can't be prouder of them."

"I'm Still Here" (NR)
In Casey Affleck's directorial debut comes a questionably strange
documentary about Oscar-nominated actor Joaquin Phoenix. The
film tracks Phoenix in 2008 when he announced his retirement from
acting to pursue a career in hip-hop, rapping under the name JP.
Portrayed as an odd combination of absurd comedy and a distressing
victim, you may not be able to trust the film's supposed reliability,
but you will certainly be fascinated by the strange ride that Affleck
and Phoenix take you on.

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART 1
BY MILA PANTOVICH
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
"Harry Potter and the Deathly
Hallows, Part 1" is well-paced
and will keep you mostly interested and engaged for the 146
minutes of its entirety. Maybe
the reason why it is so engaging
is because the entire film functions as a great big tease. You
wait over two hours for a payoff, enjoying the ride that teasing generally brings, but are ultimately cut short by the credits,
receiving no relief. You also may
want to refresh your memory on
what happened in the last couple
films but once you remember,
the movie continues on a straight
path, leading up to the film's
end that will having you sighing
over the eight month wait for the
climax promised in the final installment, released in July in 3D.
Without Hogwarts to protect
him, Harry (Daniel Radcliffe),
with the help from Hermione
(Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint), is on the run from the
various bad guys who are hunting
him on behalf of Lord Voldemort
(Ralph Fiennes), who takes lessons of tyranny from Hitler with
his own style of racial cleansing. Predictably, love triangle
drama threatens to break the three
friends up as they are stranded
in the woods, searching for the
four Horcruxes (pieces of Voldemort's soul, remember?). With
the film dragging in the middle,
it absolutely soars in an animated
sequence illustrating the origins
of the Deathly Hallows, waking
you instantly from the monotony
of the film's middle. Also of note
is an all too brief dance scene
between Harry and Hermione to
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' "O,
Children," which is fascinating in
its awkwardly sweet placement.
The film briefly pulls in some
new faces (Bill Nighy, Rhys Ifans, and John Hurt), giving the
film more artistic credibility, but
never uses the actors' full talent
(Hurt is only near the end and
barely noticed as background).
The film also fails to take advantage of some of the other original characters; Severus Snape
(Alan Rickman) and the Aryan
Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) are
merely onscreen for the sake
of being onscreen. Their characters aren't used to their full
extent, putting their usually sinister doings on hold for the sake
of their forced appearances.
However, there are saving
graces. Rupert Grint, clearly no
longer a child, shines as the jealous Ron and little Dobby the
elf makes his return in a chorus
of "awwwws" and you can't
help but join in. James Andrew
Eric Phelps and Oliver Martyn
John Phelps are comedic scene
stealers as the twins, Fred and
George Weasley, Ron's brothers. Finally, there's Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort. Fiennes,
looking like the illicit lovechild
of Nosferatu and a vampire bat
with an eerie sweetness that reminds one of Martha Stewart on a
bender, delivers a sickly disturbing onscreen presence that has
you longing to see his fascinating face in every single frame.
Was it truly necessary to break
the final film up into two parts?
Probably not. Much of Part I consists of the three friends bouncing from place to place, looking
to be in a real dire hurry, without
discovering much of anything
to make it worth their, and our,
while. However, the real test will
be the final film (in which Gary
Oldman makes a long-awaited
return as Sirius Black). With six
previous films and 146 minutes
of drawn-out teasing in Part 1,
the payoff better be worth it.

Dr. Proudfit encourages people to

they are Native American or not.
Dr. Proudfit said, "If students
would like to get engaged in the

here on campus, they should enroll
in some Native American based
courses." She went on to say the
courses really brought students
closer to thè communities around
campus. Typically, in the spring,
students get to take field trips to
local reservations and speak with
community members about tribal
life. In the fall, community leaders come to CSUSM to talk about
the challenges faced by Native
Americans. Also, a Native American Studies minor may be taken.
Recently, our campus recognized National Native American
Heritage Month by showcasing
the Native American film, "Older

gardless of the original movie's
reception. In the case of "The
Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,"
the language barrier between
Swedish and English becomes a
problem if the original were to
make its way to American theaters. Foreign films struggle with
American audiences, so releasing
them here becomes less desirable.
Remakes are also made on
the small screen, with shows like
"Battlestar Galactica," "The Office," and "V." These shows have
their differences from the original material; however, they are
still based on the same premise.
As remade television shows are
given the green light, Hollywood
chooses not to support original
content. Though some remakes
are successful, for example "The
Office," most seem to fall short
of surpassing the original material. Until Hollywood considers
this, audiences can expect to see
more recycled movies and shows.

But, members of
the new communication Club, "Dot

their first meeting on Nov. 5, it
also would be nice to have a few

At their organizational meeting,
club members elected Brian Frye

president, Jennifer Morley as head

Robinson as secretary.
In later meetings, the club has
been working to develop a constitution. It has 60 days to do so in
order to be approved by the university.
Since C SUSM's Communications De^^naentJLs new tj\is.§emester, students said they had n a

in many other majors at the university have similar clubs that provide networking opportunities and
help in finding j obs after graduation.

Frye, who said he is looking forward to leading the club, stressed
that its success will be up to all
members. "For starters," he said,
"new members will have to be recruited. Still to be determined is a

F uture m eeting times will be

Enrollment is expected to continue to rise even more substantially over the next decade
with the onset of Tidal Wave II," said CSU Chancellor Barry Munitz. "Therefore, it is critical
that the CSU receives adequate state support and continues its initiatives in the areas of technology use, new public and private partnerships and r evaluation of educational outcomes and
assessment so we can continue to provide access to quality higher education for the people of
California."
Tidal Wave II refers to the antici8pated 500,000 additional students expected to seek
higher education in California over the next decade, including nearly 100,000 at the CSU.
Opening day enrollment increased this fall on 18 of the 22 CSU campuses, and six
campuses - Bakersfield, Dominguez Hills, Monterey Bay, San Bernardino, San Marcos and
Stanislaus - reached their highest enrollment figures since the early 1990's.
As expected, the CSU's newest campus, Monterey Bay, experienced the highest percentage growth at 26 percent with a 330-student increase to 1,586. The next largest increase in
percentage of students was 9 percent at San Bernardino with a 1,134 gain. San Marcos grew by
6 percent adding 275 students this fall and increasing from 448 to 4,684 since opening in 1990.
Other campuses with large gains were San Jose with 1,022, Fresno with 900 and Fullerton with
866.
The full-time equivalency enrollment figure, which counts students based on percentage of credits they take toward a full 15-credit load, also increased about 2 percent from 260,927
to 266,536, considerably higher than the level at which the CSU is funded by the state.
San Diego continues to have the largest enrollment with 30,593, followed by Long
Beach at 27,810, Northridge at 127,652, San Francisco at 26,983 and San Jose at 26,896.
The CSU has the largest enrollment of any senior higher education system in the country. Although about 95 percent of CSU students are from California, the CSU enrollment also
includes students from every state in the country and from at least 137 different countries. Minority groups represent more than half of the CSU student body.

Among the recommendations is a proposal that teacher
education courses begin as early

Adult sites set the standard for
electronic commerce
M ARK L . A LCH P H . D
" W"n the mid-nineteenth century the taking of nude im
I ages, sold under the counter, helped create the photo
I graph industry. One can be reasonably assured that
M the first obscene telephone call occurred soon after
the Bell Telephone Company began its network service to
homes. When silent pictures came of age, the "stag file"
was invented for the male audience.
Later, adult oriented theaters originated to provide entertainment on the big screen. Sexually explicit
films released to theaters were later replaced by
VCR's hawking titles such as "Deep Throat," "The
Devil in Miss Jones," and "Behind the Green Door."
One could watch these "classics" in the privacy of
their own home. In the 1980'$ the mass distribution
of small, compact video cameras inaugurated amateur sex movies.
A new industry was created where nearly
anyone could direct his or her own adult film. Adult
entertainment is the driving force behind the explo—
sive popularity of the Internet. As an example,
iyixxxen.com, one of the largest adult oriented web pi
sites, features over 1,000,000 free pictures. The adult1
oriented web sites have paved the way for all types
of commercial ventures on the Net.
To understand how they make money, one
needs to survey adult entertainment, since all businesses follow one or more of .their models to generate income on the web. The vast majority of sites
attempt to generate income in one of six ways:
B anner ads—Vixxxen.com is one of the
few free adult sites generating the heaviest traffic.
This web address contains over 1 million stored pictures, and advertisers pay $10,000 to place a banner
on the site. In this model, advertisers receive a large
number of visitors and the consumer, in return, receives pictures free of charge.
Pay p er month—Only one-hundredth of

tures already on the Net, according to Rick Ferguson,
Webmaster at Vixxxen.com.
Advertising by female models—although not to
prevalent, a few models and agencies have established sites
in order to augment their business. Ferguson stated, "by
increasing their visibility through a high hit rate they hope
to capitalize on modeling contracts."
Aligning with a n a dult verification service—if
an adult wants access to such sites, they have to pay a
.«
mm « « «

yearly fee and receive an access code that allows entry at
any web address that signed with the firm. The stated
purpose is to protect the underage viewers from getting
into the adult sites. Ferguson of Fixxxen.com mentioned,
"the verification service shares a percentage of the fees
with the sites that initially signs up the consumer." To
date, this has only attracted a minority of the adult web
sites.
F ree sites contracting with pay sites on
a p er click basis—a pay site will pay (7usually
$.02-.03 per click) to a free site for consumers who
arrive at their business through links or banners.
A prodigious amount of traffic has to be generated
before significant income can be made. Then too,
the burden of effective advertising is on the host
site rather than the advertiser, as the adult site has
no control over the flow of income.
Pay p er service—these are sites offering
live (or simulated sex), chat lines, phone sex, video
streaming, and CD's. These firms pay for banner
ads on free sites, such as Vixxxen.com, keeping
them in business. As a consumer, you are paying
for the technology to have anonymous, safe sex in
the p rivacy of y our h ome. F erguson of
Fixxxen.com affirmed, "with charges ranging from
$2 (chat lines) up to $240 per hour, this segment
of the adult entertainment industry can offer extremely high profits to the owner.
Behind computer products and travel, the
adult entertainment industry is the third largest in
total sales. It is first among all industries in terms
of the number of visitors on a daily basis. In review, only a handful of sites are generating tremendous profits and receiving notice, such as
Vixxxen.com. Those on the leading edge of technology are paving the way for other industries in
the scramble for market share and high profits on
the Internet. In the next installment, we will look
at commerce and technology on the web.

�D on't let your assets get
too f rozen over the
winter quarter —
B Y KRISTINA S ETH
r I l ime Vs. Money: Is winter session a good deal? First
o ff, you may be sacrificing a badly needed break
X
f rom classes. Secondly, you may be paying too
much, particularly if y ou're on financial aid.
Indeed, some advisers suggest skipping CSUSM's winter session, which starts Jan. 5. " It's not an economically
sound decision to spend almost 50 percent of your financial aid for the year on winter and summer sessions," says
Gerrie Hatten, assistant financial aid director at CSUSM.
"It d oesn't leave students with enough money for the regular fall and spring semesters."
Winter courses cost $105 per unit, $39 more than fall
and spring semesters f or full-time CSUSM students. Even
at that, though, it may be a good buy, according to Janet
Jubran, assistant dean f or extended studies. "We made the
decision to keep the cost at $105, even though other schools,
including SDSU,
are charging $115 per unit," she added. "We know it's a
lot f or students to pay and we d idn't want to charge them
a nymore."
irmm&j^ m
Financial aid for j ust the winter or summer session is
not an option. "It is our decision to not o ffer loans specifically f or summer and winter s ession," H atten s ays.
r
"The reasons why we made §li
this choice are we d on't have
enough staff to handle the
a dditional w orkload, and
t here i sn't e nough t urn
around time.
"Winter and summer are
s hort s essions. A lso, t he
penalty and refund structure
IlK
IMP Hi H
is set up in such a severe way
there is no way we could keep up."
During fall and spring semesters, a student has two weeks
after classes begin to decide if they want to drop any course.
If they do so within that span, their tuition money is refunded in full.
Conversely, winter students have but 12 hours to decide
if they want to remain in a course in order to get a full
tuition refund. That puts a heavy burden on them, many
students say.
L et's say a student decides to drop a winter course after
the first class. But, if i t's a class that lasts until after 5
p.m., 3 p.m. to 6:45 p.m., f or example, i t's impossible to
get a full refund because the cashier's office is closed. By
the next morning, when it reopens, the grace period has
expired.
Does this logic seem skewed? Senior Summer Tebbs, a
liberal studies major, thinks so. "What if y ou're sick or
your car breaks down and you c an't make it to the cashier's
o ffice on Jan. 5 to get a r efund?" she asks. " It's not right
that they only give you that one day and after that, you
lose."
A fter Jan. 5, students dropping a course can get only a
65 percent refund of the original tuition . .. and, then, only
if they act before the end of Jan. 6. After that, there's no
refund at all.
Hatten says there are ways to beat the system. One is to
attend a commuriity college such as Palomar or Mira Costa
and take a comparable, lower-division course.
Another is to set aside money for winter session when
you get your fall financial aid disbursement. "Most students d on't fealize that there is no state subsidy f or winter
and summer sessions," Hatten says. "We want to help students as much as possible, so we suggest that if students
h ave eligibility left, that they apply for a student loan to
cover the cost of winter session."
"Even though there are no specific loans for winter session, they can pay the fees with their credit card and then
be reimbursed by us when they get their loan disbursement in the spring."
Jubran says the extended studies program was set up
primarily to allow students to take one course. Faculty
members generally discourage heavier winter loads, since
t he session ljkonly t hree^ee&s long.
When asked why tHe"winter'cost is so high, Jurban explained, "Taking one three-unit class during winter at $330
is a better deal than taking
one class during a regular
semester, when the cost for
a three-unit class is $459.
"It is,a better deal, however, to take t wo c lasses
during the regular semester,
because, for the same $459,
you can take two classes,
whereas during winter, it
will cost you $630 to take
11111 IIH i * $ H
two classes."
Jurban added that the possibility of helping students cover the cost of winter session
by allotting funds from the university is under consideration.
For those students to whom winter session is imperative, there is another alternative. The TERI Company (1800-255-TERI) offers student loans at an interest rate of
8.5 percent. There is no payment required as long as a
student is enrolled in six or more units or until six months
after graduation.
"You can borrow from $500 up to the cost of your education," said a customer representative at TERI. "To qualify,
you have to be working full-time. If you aren't working
full-time, you have to have a co-signer, regardless of your
age or credit history."
Winter session tuition must pay for everything from the
use of the class room and the teacher's salary to the salaries of extended studies personnel.
Both the federal and state governments consider the academic year to consist of only two semesters. In the future,
however, thanks to on-line classes, year-round school will
be a more attainable, and possibly less expensive reality,
officials say.

^ T ^ T ith the country's relatively recent
\ \ f craze for nostalgia, new bands
T T imitating older bands have become a dime a dozen. Yet the new bands
generally refuse to admit that most of their
creativity comes from somewhere else.
That is why god street wine is such a refreshing change. It draws its inspiration
from people and bands such as the AUman
Brothers, Black Crowes, Bob Dylan and
Mojo Nixon. And it freely admits it. The
beauty of its music is that it takes little
pieces from many that have gone before and
combines them into something new and
enjoyable.
The music has a twangy, bluesy, comfortable feel to it that makes you want to grab a
beer and kick back with some friends.
The lyrics are poetically impressive with
a cynical, slightly jaded overtone. Memories of friends, political opinions and broken hearts are all themes in various songs.

of the story and hyping it along the way.
It is, or tries to, reflect the bitter truth of
television's craving f or sensation in the

the media frenzy and our dislike for it, but
lacks insight into the soul, the real cost for
the betrayal and inhumanity of the exploitative media.
Dustin Hoffman plays a TV network journalist (Max Brackett) who loses his j ob after going ballistic on camera and is transferred to a meaningless little affiliated station in Madeline, Calif. In an effort to revive his career and status, he maneuvers a
hostage situation into a national news event.
While doing a story on the town's natural history museum by interviewing its director (Blythe Dancer), a recently fired security guard (John Travolta) turns up with
a gun and explosives to demand his j ob back
after taking his former boss and several visiting schoolchildren hostage. He also inadvertently shoots a friend, a black security
guard, thus setting the stage for the public
to perceive him as a racist in addition to a
kidnaper.
Max, however, anticipates the forthcoming deluge of television cameras and reporters and begins to control and maneuver the
situation for maximum emotional impact.
He wins the guard's trust, restricts media
access to him and builds a sympathetic image of him as an average American working man, a regular guy who couldn't take
the shame of not being able to support his
family.

It's The Rainmaker.1
Francis Ford Coppola's screenplay, based
on John Grisham's best-seller, has all the
ingredients for box office success. Situated
in Memphis, the story surrounds a naive,
yet passionate, law school graduate, Rudy
Baylor (Matt Damon), who finds himself
swallowed into a sleazy pocket of the legal
profession, the office of attorney J. Lyman
Stone (Mickey Rourke).
There, with the help of Stone's right hand
man, Deck Shifflet (Danny DeVito), Baylor
is acclimated to the finer talents of the legal profession: ambulance chasing.
The primary plot, however, is one in
which Baylor finds himself representing the
family of a young man who is dying because an
his health cafe.
Not only does Baylor bond with the young
man and his family (a family that abounds
with unique character), but he crosses paths
with a young battered wife, Kelly Liken,
played by Claire Danes {Romeo <£ Juliet,
U-Turn).
Damon is poignantly perfect in his deliverance of an all-American, idealistic, young
attorney. He radiates with a kindheartedness that is predominantly absent from his
chosen profession.
Jon Voight also gives a brilliant performance as the lead defense attorney for the
insurance company, whose practice is to
take premiums from the poor and then automatically deny all claims.
Like David taking on Goliath, Baylor
takes on the arrogant and self-righteous
defense in a courtroom battle that is obviously unbalanced.
DeVito as an ex-insurance employee, who
has the chronic problem of failing the bar
exam, balances the serious nature of the
legal issues with his charm and candor.
More often than not, the audience will find
themselves chuckling at his likable character.
W hile s imilar in p lot and s tyle to

Crossing the threshold of the India Princess in San Marcos is to be transformed to

paneer may be for you. Its fresh spinach and homemade cottage cheese are lightly seasoned with herbs
and spices to create an unusual, but fabulous taste*
But if you prefer a richer taste, the charbroiled
eggplant dish, baingnan bharta, should serve you
well. The cooked tomatoes and onions give it a
creamy texture but stronger taste. But the aloo gobhi,
a cauliflower and potatoes dish, is a bit too heavy to
eat with rice.
Although India Princess is a vegetarian's paradise, it can keep meat-eaters happy, too. It has a
large variety of lamb, chicken and seafood dishes
which are all served with fragrant basmati rice.
Beer-drinkers may want to try Flying Horse, a light
and tasty Indian beer that comes in a bottle big
enough for two people.
All the vegetarian dishes cost $8.95 except the
lentil dish, 4 dal\ which is $6.95. The non-vegetarian dishes range from $6.95 to $12.95. Appetizers
and desserts generally run $2.50.
India Princess also offers an all-you-can-eat lunch
buffet and an a-la-carte dinner every day. On Sundays, it features a champagne brunch.
India Princess is open seven days a week from 11
a.m. to 2 p.m. for lunch and 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. for

Open Discussion on the Social
Construction of Disability
Dianne Hirning for The Pride
On Monday November 20,
Norman Kunc from Axis
Consultation & Training visited
CSUSM to educate students and
faculty on the social construction of disability and how we
can alter common discriminatory
practices. Kunc, a family therapist and educational consultant, is
a published author and a disability rights advocate with degrees
from both York University and
the University of Guelph.
According to Kunc, every
pulture in history has had people
that were disabled. Modern soci-
ety uses the labels of normal
and abnormal for the purposes
of social control. Kunc also
discussed how the philosopher,
Foucault, observed that society
begins with diversity. Through
discourse, however, conditions of
abnormality are decided and what
is left over must be normal. The
definition of abnormality changes in time and culture, says Kunc
There are "set" ideas of normalcy
for weight and size, sexuality,
and gender, just to give a few
examples.
Kunc asks how people can
always stay in that "normal"
range. His answer: We can't.
A highly dangerous yet preventable bacterial infection is
singling out susceptible college
students, especially freshmen living in dorms. Recently nicknamed "The Deadly College
Dorm Disease", bacterial meningitis progresses so rapidly that
even if one survives it, permanent effects may include blindness, hearing loss, permanent
brain damage, learning disabilities, and amputated limbs. The
infection often causes swelling of
the brain, resulting in the restriction of blood flow and a paralysis
similar to that caused by stroke.
Pride Staff Writer
Cal State San Marcos is a
young campus that offers opportunities for creating new clubs and
organizations. You can make this
campus what you want it to be,
which is one of the selling points
for many students that choose
CSUSM as their destination for
education.
The level of commitment and
planning it takes to actually get a
club recognized by the university,
however, can be daunting. You'll

By: Steve Compian
Pride Staff Writer
At the beginning of the crosscountry season, a Pride reporter
asked Head Coach Steve Scott if
his teams could repeat last year's
success. Scott responded by saying "yes," if his runners matured
quickly, avoided injury, and ran
their best races of the season at
the nationals.
After the Cougars dominated the NAIA Region II
Championships at the Del Mar
Race Track, Coach Scott had
reason to be optimistic. Both
the men's and women's squads
limped onto the Del Mar track
on November 4, with a combination of illnesses and injuries,
and won the regional competition.
The NAIA Nationals in Kenosha,
Wisconsin, on November 18,
however, gave Scott's runners a
much chillier challenge.
The women's team, braving
32-degree temperature and 10-15
miles per hour winds, finished
twelfth at the national finals. Cara
Rumble led the women's team
with a 25 place finish out of 248
runners in the 5k race.
Diversity is the key.
"No one else can experience
someone else's experience exactly the same," says Kunc. He
expressed the importance for
everyone to remember and practice diversity with one another.
By valuing diversity, diversity
becomes normal. We can place a
high value on diversity through
respect, understanding, acceptance, appreciation, equal worth,
mutual benefit, and belonging.

Written Proposal
The first item required of
someone trying to establish a
club is a written proposal. The
club proposal is a short description of the club's intended focus
on campus, possible club events,
and the people the club hopes to
attract. The club proposal is given
to ASI for approval. Once the proposal is received and approved,
there is die task of compiling
data for the club. There are more
official forms that provide guidelines for the entrepreneur.

a recent interview with Family
Magazine, Dr. Lon Dubey, an
infectious disease consultant with
Kaiser Permanente, explained,
' The risk of meningitis remains
highest in the first year of life,
then begins to fall off, only to
'blip' up again at the 17-to-22year age range."
"Meningitis is different
because it is one of the few
diseases where someone can be
completely well and within hours
be dead," says Nancy Rosenstein
of the Center for Disease Control
and Prevention in Atlanta. Over
the last ten years, cases of bacterial meningitis infection have
more than doubled among college students.
The American College Health
Association reports that bacterial meningitis struck about 3,000
Americans last year. Around sixty-five percent of the cases occur
to people from ages 15-22. There
are 125 cases on college campuses annually, causing around
fifteen student deaths per year.
Victims of the infection often
seek medical help when it is too
late to protect them from its phys-
ically ravaging effects. *
One such college student was
Melanie Benn. In December 1996,
the eighteen-year-old San Diego
resident dealt with the devastating consequences of the insidious
bacterial infection. After arriving
honje from her dorm at Humboldt
College, Benn felt she had the
flu, but her concerned mother
still took her to the emergency
room in time to save her life.
Within a week of the onset of
symptoms, Benn suffered amputation of all four limbs and the
destruction of her kidneys as a
result of meningitis.
What is Meningitis?
The term meningitis suggests
an inflammation of the meninges,
the protective covering surrounding the complex central function
of the brain and spinal cord. If the
immune system becomes weak
enough to allow infection either
from pre-existing viruses in the
body or the presence of specific
bacterium in the blood, this protective coating is compromised,
allowing infection to attack one
of the most vital systems in our
body. The resulting inflammation may swell the brain and disrupt the complex messaging network of the central nervous system and control of vital organs.
Severe headache, muscle ache,
and vomiting are direct physical
responses to the infection's
attack.
Bacterial meningitis is far
more serious than the more common viral meningitis. Viral meningitis occurs when any random,
pre-existing virus in the body
overcomes the body's resistance
and infects the meninges. Viral

planning to live in dorms or residence halls, get the bacterial
meningitis vaccine. The vaccine
provides strong protection (three
to five years) against the four
most common of the five infection-causing bacteria. The vaccine, which usually costs $65, is
not covered by most health care

Why did the who's who of

Neither candidate has the kind
of military career that normally

dollars by placing the military in

Plan to Save Local Toads
By: Benjamin Wayne
Pride Staff Writer
The U.S. Department of Fish
and Wildlife Services (FWS)
recently announced the jcompletion of a recovery plan for the
arroyo southwestern toad (Bufo
californicus). FWS is the regulatory agency responsible for
the conservation of wildlife and
their habitats. The FWS's recovery plan purports to protect the
toad by conserving and acquiring additional habitat. The plan,
which renews the agencies efforts
to monitor and study the arroyo
toad population, is now available
for public comment at local Fish
and Wildlife offices.
The arroyo southwestern
toads were listed as an endangered species in December of
1994. Because of their recent listing, few major steps have been
taken to preserve and protect the
arroyo toads. The objective of the
FWS's new recovery plan is to
provide a framework for federal,
state and local agencies, and private entities, for the long-term
recovery of the arroyo toads. If
successful, the FWS hopes to
reclassify the arroyo toads, changing their status on the endangered species list from endangered to threatened.
Environmentalists, however,
do not share the same enthusiasm
for the recovery plan. Watchdog
groups have pointed out that the
plan does not obligate the expenditure of public money nor does
it mandate any specific action by
the FWS or any other agency to
protect the toads. Furthermore,
activists have accused the FWS of
rushing the downgrading effort,
claiming that the arroyo toads'
numbers do not warrant reclassification.
The arroyo southwestern
toads were once found throughout
central and southern California.
Mainly due to human encroachment, the toads can now be
found in only 22 drainages (wetland areas), including the Agua
Hedionda valley in San Marcos.
The arroyo southwestern toads
are small (three to five inches),
buff-colored creatures. The lifecycles of the toads are directly
linked to the health and volume
of the coastal rivers and streams
where the toads breed. When
these toads lay their eggs in
streams and rivers, they require
shallow pools with minimal current. The toad population has suffered as watersheds in California
are dammed and polluted by
silt from nearby development.
Additional threats to the arroyo
toad include predation by exotic
fish and other wildlife, road construction, mining, off-road vehicles, and trampling by humans.

Giving Birth to a Stone Is a Peach
By: Jared E. Young
Pride Staff Writer
Peach is not Tool. Yes, they
both have one-word band names,
they both have a vocalist who
sings softly over heavy riffs, and
they are both bassdriven bands, but that
is where the comparisons stop.
Tool
bassist
Justin Chancellor was
the bassist for Peach
before joining Tool
on the band's "most
recent
album,
Aenima, and he
rejoined Peach to produce their second
album, Giving Birth
to a Stone. Peach follows Tool's formula
of heavy bass lines
and crushing guitar
riffs, but the result is nothing like
that of Tool.
Peach's guitarist falls short
generating the art that Tool's guitarist Adam Jones has created
as a model, and Peach's vocalist
does not hold a candle to vocalist Maynard James Keenan of
Tool. The vocals in Giving Birth
to a Stone seem uninspired and
monotonous at best while the lyrics also lack inspiration. The third
track, "Catfood," is an example
of a lyrical low point on the
album.
This album succeeds in producing bass-heavy riffs that build
up a tension in the listener that is
never truly released. Perhaps the
best example of this is the song
"Velvet." "Velvet" begins with
an eerie guitar riff and moaning
vocals followed by the strike of
powerful chords and a distorted
sound. This pattern is repeated
throughout the song, creating a
tension that you expect to be
released by some sort of scream
from the singer—but the screams
never come and the song ends
leaving the listener seemingly
unfulfilled. This, however, is not
always a bad thing; the tension
continues to build with each song
on the album, further drawing
the listener in (or the listener
becomes frustrated and throws
the CD away, either one).
The music may seem good,
beginning with the album's first
and only truly good song,
"Spasm," but it becomes plainly
obvious that Peach ran out of
musical ideas before their first
album was complete (and this is
only their second album). After
"Velvet," the songs begin to blend
together and one cannot help
but beg for the end
of the album (or for
Keenan to fill in and
add life to the monotony). Sadly, though,
this does not happen.
Ten songs and 45
minutes later the CD
changer skips to the
next disc and another singer's voice
breathes life back into
bored ears.
In all, the CD
lacks the life to ever
make Peach a huge
success. This second
album is not highly
recommended to anyone other
than Justin Chancellor fans who
merely want to hear hinr display
his talents with another band, and
a slightly different style of music.
For now, listeners will primarily
be die-hard Tool fans that wish to
own everything that has anything
remotely to do with the band (in
which case, the album may be
worth having). Perhaps, however,
it is unfair to compare Peach to
the musically and lyrically superior Tool, in which casq Giving
Birth to a Stone is not all that bad,
but it still falls far shy of being a
classic.

Unbreakable Won't Break Sixth Sense
By: J. Ryan Sandahl
Pride Staff Writer
It will not live up to The Sixth
Sense, but will any movie this guy
makes during the rest of his career
be able to? With Unbreakable,
M. Night Shamylan has created
another dark
t hriller—this
time dealing
with comic
books instead of
dead people.
Bruce Willis
plays David
Dunn,
a
security guard
at a football stadium who is the
sole survivor of
a horrific train
wreck. To make
things more
compelling, he
survives without a scratch on
him. Samuel L.
Jackson plays
Elijah Price,
who believes he has the answer
as to why Dunn survived.
Dunn goes to Price and Price
tells him his theory on why he
was the sole survivor. Price has
a genetic bone disorder which
makes his bones very fragile. As
a child, Price was tormented by
.kids that called him the glass
man because he was so fragile.
His theory is that Jackson is very
fragile and "breakable" and there
must be someone on the opposite
side of the spectrum who's bones
are stronger and "Unbreakable".
In this case, Dunn is that man.
After all, he did survive the
train wreck. Later Dunn is lifting
weights in his basement. Much
this contact allows Dunn to see
what horrible atrocity that person
has committed. Dunn never sees
people doing good things* only
bad.
Of course all heroes have a
weakness, right? Dunn's weakness is water. As a child, he
to Dunn's surprise, Dunn is able
to lift up to about 350 pouq^s.
Could Jackson's theory be true?
Is Dunn a "superhero" with special powers?
Dunn finds that his special
power is being able to see the
dark side of human nature. At the
stadium, Dunn is able to simply
stand in the middle of an aisle
and, as people walk past him
and occasionally bump into him,
nearly drowned in a swimming
pool and caught pneumonia and
almost died. Even though his
bones may not Jbreak, Dunn can
still be killed, in this case by
drowning.
The ending is very chilling
and satisfying, but it won't require
you to see the film twice to make
sure you got it. Unbreakable is
rated PG-13 and has a running
time of 120 minutes.

Doing It Out in Public
Perspectives on Public Space
By: Jennifer Miller
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM's Arts and Lectures
Series, "Under the Grid: Perspectives on Public Space" continued
on Monday, November 20, with
Mary Jane Jacobs' presentation
titled "Doing Out In Public." Her
presentation explored art outside
the context of a museum setting.
Jacobs showed slides of her previous exhibits and programs to
an audience of more than 50 students.
Jacobs' slide show included
a program based in Charleston,
South Carolina, where art was
found in peculiar historical areas.
In one exhibit, titled, "Culture
in Action," Jacobs, along with
other artists, engaged citizens
with their local history by turning
their ordinary plantation houses
into impressive works of art. One
plantation had a lawn littered with
Civil War cannonballs. The can-

bedrooms in the plantation. Cannonballs were also placed in the
bedrooms of the manor house to

invaded the land, but also invaded

Since 1990, Jacobs has organized groundbreaking exhibitions
that test the boundaries of public
space and the relationship of
audiences to contemporary art.
Jacobs, who is a curator and
author, also teaches at The School
of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Mary Jane Jacobs lectures and
contributes to museum catalogues
and books. She travels extensively to visit areas in need of
artistic renovation. Along with
projects within the Chicago area,
Jacobs is currently working with
artists in San Jose, California. Her
extensive training and experience
is widely respected from all facets
of the art world. Jacobs received
a B.F.A. from the University
of Florida, Gainesville, and a
M.A. from the University of
Michigan, Ann Arbor. She
received professional fellowships
from the National Endowment
for the Humanities and the
National Endowment for the Arts.
Jacobs also received a visiting
research fellowship under the
Getty Residency Program at Bard
College.

About 30 CSUSM students
exited ACD 201 enlightened and
transformed after nearly an hour
of uplifting piano virtuosity^ on
Friday, November 17. As they
skipped and frolicked toward
the parking lots, beaming radiant smiles, they began humming
assorted motifs from the complex
and beautiful compositions they
had just enjoyed in silent and
suspenseful audition.
This gift of music was given
by world renown Norwegian pianist, Tori Stoedle, who performed
a rich repertoire made up entirely
of Norwegian composers, with
the exception of Johann Sebastian
Bach's 1 and 2 movements
from "Partita No. 2", played in
commemoration of the 250 year
of the composer's death.
As her body swayed above
the dark, earth-bound instrument
like a moisture-laden cloud, her
swift, dexterous fingertips fell
rapidly upon the keys with the
tinkling sound of wintry raindrops in Norway.
Stoedle played a 19 century
work by Edvard Grieg
("Homesickness"), and 20 century pieces by Kentil Vea
("Stallogargo");
Folke
Stroemholm ("Three Sami
Joiks"), David Monrad Johansen
("Scenes From Nordland": "The
Portrait of a Woman", "The Little
Stone God", "Reindeer",
"Towards The Mountain of My
Forefathers"), ang Arne
Nordheim ("Listen"). Stoedle
also prefaced the composers'
works with interesting information concerning their lives, their
impact on Norwegian music and
the inspirational sources and
meaning of their compositions.
Two fascinating aspects of
the program were Stroemholm's
"Three Sami Joiks", and Nordheim's "Listen". The first piece
was inspired by the composer's
anthropological study of some of
Norway's indigenous population,
the Samis. The work is fashioned
after a musical aspect of traditional Sami culture, called a
Joik, a unique song identifying
each individual Sami that would
be sung or played to announce
his/her identity while traveling
between villages.
Arne Nordheim's "Listen",
his only w ork
composed for
solo piano,
was written
to express the
f rustration
and loneliness of a
h ousehold

e xpressive

Ending her performance amid
long periods of clapping, Stoedle
smilingly acknowledged the clear
appreciation of Cal State San
Marcos' small audience. Tori
Stoedle is long-time friend of
CSUSM music professor Ivar
Antonsen, who dedicated his first
published work to Stoedle and
her husband, Hakon Stoedle, a
famous clarinet player who was
performing in Brazil the same
day. Stoedle teaches at a conservatory in Tromse, Norway
and is vice-president of the
Norway chapter of the European
Association of Piano Teachers.

The payment deadline for registration for classes for the Spring
2001 semester at California State
University San Marcos has been
changed with no advance notification. For most students it is
a significant surprise in the registration process. The payment
deadline for the Spring 2001
semester is December 19 . For
the Spring 2000 semester it was
January 21 , and for Spring 1999
it was January 23 .
College students are a notoriously tight-budgeted group. Moving
the payment of $853.00 to one
month sooner than the approximately 6000 students at CSUSM
case. It also says, however, that,
"You will not be sent a billing
statement." This is a change from
previous semesters. Not only is
the payment due a month sooner,
there will be no notification. The
Grinch is smiling, I am sure.
Furthermore, the new deadline
of December 19 is the last day
of the fall semester. Payment
is now required at a time when
most students are concerned with
final exams, not scraping together nearly nine hundred bucks.
In the October 24 , 2000
issue, of The Pride, Dean of
Students Jonathan Poullard stated, "The University is moving
toward a student-centered philosophy." I believe that moving
towards a student-centered philosophy at CSUSM is very important, and I appreciate Dean
Poullard's admission that CSUSM
has not been student friendly.
Admission of a problem, however, is not enough. It is necessary tofixthe problem.
Schools exist, not for the purpose of collecting fees and providing jobs for administrators,
but rather for serving and educating students. This fact seems
to be lost on the administration
at CSUSM. I do not understand

The traditional payment deadline in late January comes after
students have had the opportunity to work during the .winter

deadline comes right before

Additionally, it says on the registration portion of the CSUSM

Appreciate yourself!
ASI holds Love Yoúf Body event
BY MAEVE CAMPLISSON
Pride Staff Writer
On Thursday October 29
during university hour, men
and women alike visited the
Library Plaza and participated
in "Love Your Body Day." The
plaza was f ull of booths, giveaways, and activities encouraging students to love their bodies.
The ASI Women's Center put on
this event for the fourth year in a
row, but the National Organization for Women (NOW) started
this event 12 years ago.
Jessica Castro, a Women's
Center peer educator and the
coordinator of "Love Your Body
D ay" described it as "an event
about positive body image."
The NOW website descepáis it
as a day encouraging wqújga*tó
"fight b ack" against cosmetic,
fashion, and diet industries
which "work hard to make each
of us believe that our bodies are
unacceptable and need constant
improvement" in order to sell
their products.
The event on campus included
tables by organizations f rom on
and o ff campus promoting positive body image, health, and
athletics. Clif Bar gave out f ree
samples of the LUNA bar which
they market towards women, and
Froyo Love gave f ree yogurt to
anyone who got a card stamped
to prove he or she had checked
i | n at every booth.
§^Sttident Health and Counseling Services representatives
Cathy Nguyen, a health educator, and Shannon Starnater, an
intern, talked to students about
healthy habits and remind them
that they have access to nutritional counselors.
One popular table at t he event
was one at which people could
color drawings of a vagina with
crayons. Melissa R odriguez of
t he Women's Center explained
that t he coloring sheets were
" for the inner child in all of
u s t o get more f amiliar with
their vagina and to not t hink
of them as ugly or scary," and
explained that children o ften
Photos by Maeve Camplisson
learn t hrough coloring books
and worksheets.
The Women's Center had
another booth selling pink
shirts, which read, " Start a revolution. Stop hating your body."
They also gave away buttons
with various empowering messages.
The LGBTA club set up a
table against domestic violence,
and J ennifer Meneray, club president, explained to visitors that
domestic violence can be committed by anyone and towards
anyone no matter their gender,
despite popular stereotypes.
The Pride Center gave away
f ree bracelets and supplies while
visitors had the o pportunity t o
write and draw positive messages inside a traced body.

Way,
Watch out the Tea Party Express is abouti
Money Management
BY JAMES ROCHE
Pride S taff Writer
Depending on whom you are and
how much you keep track ofthe news
and politics, you may have heard that
the Tea Party Express arrived in San
Diego last Sunday at Tuna Harbor
Park. The movement hits 38 cities
in 17 different states, starting in San
Diego, California and eventually
ending u pjn Orlando, Florida three
weeks later. Other states being visited include Alabama, Louisiana and
most notably Texas, which has the
most stops on the schedule with 7.
As t heJgsy|8B was in S p Diego
I fektisfe^v^inldeal opportunity to
invest^gate j ust w ^at the Tea jfearty
Express supportirs were actually
protesting a bout Upon arriving I
sdw ffaeq? was j£&rowd gathering,
m ^ y holding t iigns expressing
their views. "Just Say No to the O,"
"Socialists are just thieves with an
education," "Obama don't attack
our freedom of Xpression, What are
you afraid of, the truth?" I decided
to interview a few local residents
about why they were at the protest
and what they thought of their President of the United States. One man
said, "I stood up against communism when I was in the Navy and
now they're in the White House."
Ha^was worried about his grandchildren and their future ifthe country continued the way he thought
it was going. He also talked about
his views on health care, he said,
"It's not about giving health care,
it's about controlling the people."
_
Another protestor shared similar views, she said, "It's a move
towards socialism, taking over
the health care system, appointing tsars. We need to reform the
health care system, not replace i t"
When asked about their
thoughts on Obama they seem to
respond negatively towards the
President, one man said, "He's
pathetic. He's put all the tsars in
the white house, he starting out
with socialism. If he gets a second
term the country will be in a hell
of a situation." Other pvrotestors
went further, "He's completely
t akingthe country in the wrong
direction. He's not done anything.
He's j us|a PR figmen^a persona,
a celeBnty ^ i d e n t " % said onewoman. One protestor had a difr;
ferent insight O Obama, he said,
Q
"Would you I k your 16 year old
daughter learn to drive in your
$100,000 Mercedes?" I replied
no, he then said* "Well that is like
what Obama is doing with this
country; he?s learning to drive
with this country.- That had t o Be
the best quote that I got during the
day. He also said, ¿"He's buying
people, buying the public, with
peanuts."
As a writer and an exchange student I am trying to remain impartial, but you, the reader, can look at
the protestors' comments and form
your own opinion. Do you think
these people have a point? Or are
they completely wrong? Do you
think that Obama is taking America into a brighter future?

Sigur Ros
a
IiI
BY AMY SALISBURY
Copy Editor
I've always held firm to the
belief that a song is made good by
its lyrics. Best-case scenario: recitation of the lyrics could pass as a
poem (a well-crafted poem, specifically). Granted, there are plenty
of artists out there whose real talent
is musical composition. Call me
biased, call me crazy, but I'll get
defensive if you call me wrong.
Of course, this is a bit of an irrational claim. Considering a lot of
the most popular musicians don't
even write their lyrics (a la Britney Spears, anyone?), I'm sure my
feeble views aren't the consensus of the listening world. After I
realized that, I figured a little selfreflection was in order.
There are 62 Sigur Ros tracks in
my music library. I know there are
more to be had, but I'd say a collection of that many songs provides
a decent knowledge of the band.
Something that just happened to
get past me for a time is that the
song lyrics are in Icelandic.
Ok, big deal. I don't understand
the meaning of the words, but
they sure sound nice. And Jonsi
Birgisso, lead singer and lyricist, is
so creative that he crafted an entire
album without actual lyrics. Guitarist Goggi Holm makes strange,
howling noises by dragging a cello
bow across his strings, while Kjarri
Sveinsson and Orri Pall Dyrason
add more interest with keyboards
and percussion.
Now is the point of no return. I

actually think I may need to rework
my claim a little bit. The album ( )
is easily the band's most inventive
work. In Sigur Ros's 2006 documentary, Heima, Birgisso said the
human voice is too separate from
the music it accompanies. In other
words, the nonexistent lyrics of ( )
are the most refined gibberish on
the planet. Birgisso calls the emotive "language" Hopelandic, or
Vonlenska in Icelandic.
Incidentally, ( ) just happens to
be my favorite Sigur Ros album.
And look at that, there are no lyrics
to speak of. Notice that it's even
a mystery how to actually say ( )
aloud.
Sigur Ros's four other studio
albums have lyrics, but the majority of them are in Icelandic. Their
meanings are only accessible
through shoddy translations from
fans on the internet, so the real
effect of the words is simply
masked by translation. On their
latest album, Med sud i eyrum
vid spilum endalaust (translation:
With a buzz in our ears we play
endlessly), there is one song in
English, called "AH Alright."
As per the norm, the song is
an instrumental beauty. But the
lyrics, some of which hardly
make sense, don't propel the song
the way the ambient sounds do.
Did you catch that? It's the music
that makes the song.
I set out writing this with the
objective of proving myself
wrong, and this unassuming
Icelandic band helped me do it.
Innovation is the name of the
game here, and if an artist can
write a successful song using all
of three words, he must be doing
something right. Sigur Ros,
you're doing it right.

Susan G.
Komen
Breast Cancer
Foundation
coming to
CSUSM
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
The Susan G. Komen Breast
Cancer Foundation National Education Tour is coming to campus on
Wednesday, November 15. The event
that is also known as "On the Way to
the Cure - Komen on the Go" will
be held in the Kellogg Library Plaza
from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The nine week tour has 36 stops;
one of them being CSUSM. "They
go to many campuses throughout
the U.S. and we are fortunate to
be on the tour," said Rita Ruhter,
the special project coordinator for
Health and Human Services here at
CSUSM.
The event was held last year and
will probably be held again next year.
"We would like to host them again
next year but it depends on their
National Schedule," said Ruhter.
The six - hour event will include
the "Komen On the Go" pink trailer.
The event will also have computer
stations, informational materials
about breast cancer, breast selfexamination guides, opportunities
for local involvement, and suggestions about how to be effective cosurvivors. Resources about where to
go to for answers to questions about
breast health and breast cancer will
also be included, along with an eightfoot graffiti wall that will allow
students to share their ideas about
breast cancer. Prizes will be given
away for those who participate.
"It's a great educational event and
we [will] also have breast cancer
survivors on site to answer questions
and lend support," said Ruhter.
Nancy G. Brinker founded the
Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer
Foundation in 1982 in memory of
her sister. Brinker lost her sister
(Komen) to breast cancer. Komen
was only 36 years old and left two
children behind. Komen fought
breast cancer for three years before
the cancer over took her. From her
encounter and personal experience,
Brinker learned how the lack of
knowledge on breast cancer played a
significant role in her sister's death.
Additionally, San Diego hosted

UVA Diaries: On call with lace and Alex
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
It's Thursday night and
there are 550 students who
live in the University Village
Apartments. Most of them are
free from the burdens of their
classes until Monday. The
professional staff members
who work in the offices of the
UVA have gone home for the
evening. Tonight, out of the
15 Resident Advisors in the
UVA, it is up to Jace Getskow
and Alex Cohen to make the
rounds, enforce the rules, and
much, much more.
10:30 p.m.: The round*
begin on the first floor of
B. This is Matt Curran and
Getskow'sfloor.It's relatively
quiet thus far. Getskow and
Cohen walk slowly, pushing
on every door they walk by.
A few of the door handles are
broken, other doors are left
ajar. Every so often, as Getskow and Cohen push and the
doors and continue walking,
a resident's curious face will
appear in the hallway, wondering why their door suddenly slammed shut. "We're
just checking the doors," they
say to each resident. If a resident's door handle is broken,
Getskow and Cohen advise
them to fill in a work order at
the front desk during business
hours. "So no one walks in
and takes a TV or anything,"
Getskow says.
10:50 p.m.: Getskow and
Cohen are nearing the end
of the second floor of B,
Josh Freeman and Steven
Butler'sfloor.Getskow and
Cohen describe how most
residents think their RAs
are out to get them. "We're
not here to hunt people.
We're here to enforce rules."
Cohen says. Getskow adds,
"Our main concern is that
no one's passed out on the
floor." Most times, when
they knock on doors, to ask
students to quiet down, it's
because they can hear them
laughing loudly and playing music from two doors
down.

Get ready to take pride in something new
fellow Cougars! The Pride is now online!
Available at www.thecsusmpride.com, The
Pride student newspaper and its website have
even more to offer CSUSM students and the
campus at large. With access to more indepth features, an interactive events calendar,
extensive archive access, intriguing polls,
and other exciting tools, www.thecsusmpride.
com has it all as a one-stop destination for the
latest campus news, exciting features and
entertainment.
One of the more exclusive features on the
new website is the option to register for The
Pride, like one would register for The New
York Times or Union Tribune online. On
the homepage of the site visitors have the
option of becoming registered users; creating a personal account through which they
jonaibai^THOMIWN >
thecsusmpride.com
can comment on stories, offer story feedback, send personal letters to the editor, and
receive updates on new story uploads to the
archives.
Another great thing about www.thecsusmpride.com is that the website is now connected to a vast network of other student and
collegiate online publications. This means
visitors can also access other breaking news
stories from campuses across the nation.
Aside from being connected to a larger
network, students will also have immediate
access to the previous issues of The Pride,
which gives visitors the ability to track stories by their favorite Pride staff writers, or
track similar topics like all of the Drink of the
Week stories to date and so forth.
The direct link to the open Letter to the
Editor form is mutually beneficial to both
students and the Pride staff alike. With all of
the information needed readily available in
the blank textfieldsof the page, within min-

About U s
;
utes students who wish to voice their opinion
have it all laid out in front of them, ready to
send with one click of their mouse.
Additionally, there will be polls on the website that visitors and registered users can participate in that will allow for more studentto-student interaction as well as interaction
between the Pride and interested students.
The Pride archive available to users is practical because access to the archive is free.
Whereas with other publications users have
to pay to view past stories and issues, The
Pride's archive also allows user comments
and individual story feedback, just as users
can comment on the individual stories themselves on the current issue.
Granted, all of the mentioned features are
not operating at their maximum potential yet
as access to the site has just been made available to the public within the past few days,
but very soon all of the features will be fully
functional and available to all students.

�CSUSM plans for growth in Southwest Riverside county
BY DAVID BAUER
Pride Staff Writer
Between Murrieta and Temecula, across from the In-n-Out
Burger and next to a Mexican
restaurant is the California State
University San Marcos' South
West Riverside branch office.
This small office serves roughly
200 students from the surrounding communities who attend college courses hosted in local area
schools to earn credit at CSUSM.
The CSUSM SWRC (South West
Riverside County) branch campus
has offered classes for the last six
years to students who are either
currently enrolled at CSUSM or
participating in the Open University program. Over the next few
years though, due to an increase
in the state budget it is antici-
l^nes
pated that this office will more
than double its size, expanding to
accommodate 500 students.
Most of the CSU system
schools in Southern California
are clustered around the coastline, leaving students in areas
farther east isolated. In order
to allow students in these areas
greater access to a university
education, CSUSM established a
satellite branch in South Western
Riverside County in the city of
Temecula. The system of building
satellite campuses is not uncommon in the CSU system. CSU
Channel Islands operates one
in Camarillo, CSU Northridge
operates one in Ventura, and in
1978 San Diego State University,
built a satellite campus in North
County, which in 1989 became
CSU San Marcos.
The CSUSM SWRC "campus"
is really just an administrative
office, that offers a few other services such as taking the Computer Competency Requirement
Exam as well as limited academic advising. The classes at the
CSUSM SWRC branch campus
are held in the nearby classrooms
in Temecula and Murrieta area
schools. The classes, that number
11 for fall semester and 14 for last
spring, are generally taught by
CSUSM faculty and staff. Taught
in classrooms mostly in Ronald
Reagan Elementary School in
Wildomar, and at Temecula
Valley High School. The classes
are generally smaller and offered
in the evenings or early mornings. While there are some fulltime programs, most cater to part
time and evening students.
There are a few courses at
CSUSM SWRC branch campus
that are also focused on helping
graduate students earn either the
Multiple Subject Teaching Credential, or earn two of the pre
requisites for any of the other
credential programs at CSUSM.
There are also some upper division general education courses
offered for students, and some for
those attempting to earn a degree
in Liberal Studies. However, in
order to meet all of the requirements for their degrees, students
will need to take some classes at
the main CSUSM campus. There
are also limitations on the kinds
of courses that can be offered at
the branch office; an agreement
with Mt./San Jacinto Community
College's Temecula branch prevents CSUSM from offering competing lower division courses.
Students at CSUSM SWRC
branch campus are also limited to
Social Sciences and Humanities
classes, meaning that students
with other majors will at most
only be able to take a few general
education classes at the SWRC
branch; but that may change in
the near future with the increased
enrollment allowance and budget
increase.
With an increase in funding for
the CSU system from the California state's general fund of $54 million for the 2006-2007 year, and the
possible windfall if Prop ID passes,
the SWRC branch will be able to
increase the number of classes and
services over the next few years.
Program coordinators at the SWRC
branch hope to expand to offer
classes in Science and Math as well
as offering Continuing Education
activities. Their plans also include
opening an actual campus facility
for the program in Temecula.

see Apple's iPod well on track

This popularity combined with
the CSUSM's willingness to
embrace non traditional teaching methods, such as online
and distance learning make
podcasting lectures an attractive option for schools and a
lucrative one for Apple.
The flexibility of distributing
material via podcast generally
appeals to students, and the availability ofmaterial for students will
probably be even more appealing
to students who can download a
lecture and listen to it anywhere
rather than make the commute
to campus. The ability for students with an internet connection
anywhere in the world to listen
to courses from CSUSM professors could change the way classes
are taught and how we take college courses. Previously recorded
courses could potentially be
recycledfromprevious years and
downloaded by incoming students
as a cost cutting measure by some
schools. It could also make professors tired of lecturing to empty
classrooms implement mandatory
attendance policies. Either way
podcasting lectures may be the
next step in thé evolution in teaching. "It might change the way we
teach", wrote Professor Berghof.

Competing in the most difficult
regional competition in the NAIA,
the Gal State San Marcos men's
and women's cross-country teams
held their own,finishing2nd and

the men with a 4th place finish,
and Bonghabih Shey stepped up
her game to take that same spot in
the woirien's competition.
The event, which was hosted
by Fresno Pacific University, was
held at Woodland Park in Fresno,
CA on Saturday. Thanks to their
performances, both Cougar
teams are expected to be heading
to Nationals in two weeks.
For the men, it wasn't so much
a question of making Nationals,

Concordia University made it a
clean sweep on the day, winning
the women's event as well. Azusa

of the Cougar women as well,
but the squad should still make
Nationals. For both the men and
women, that event will be held
on November 18th in Louisville,

drop his suspension appeal to the
NFL office, because he realized
the four games suspension would
be upheld and if he waited any
longer to start the suspension he
would have missed both games
versus the Denver Broncos.
I enjoy watching Merriman
play, probably more than any
other defensive player in the
league. If he had simply come to
me for some advice on the matter,
he might have had a chance
against the league office. With
that said, I present to you the top
10 excuses Shawne Merriman
could have used to explain why
he tested positive for steroids.
10 - "The lab technician who

about it, the guy who handed me
the cup to urinate in looked an

4 - "I guess I misheard the
salesclerk at 'Radio Shack'. I
thought he said check out the new
stereos."
3 - "My nickname 'Lights Out'
applies to more things than my
playing ability. You see, sometimes the lights go out in my
head and I black out for hours at
a time. I can't be held responsible
for what goes in my body during
that period of time."
2 - "Recently I have become
a big brother to a disadvantaged
youth. One day I came upon him
with a syringe in his hand. He said
he was going to shoot up because
he wanted to make it to the NFL
one day. I wouldn't let that happen
to a developing young boy, so I
snatched the syringe from his
hand and injected myself, just so
he couldn't harm his own body.
So, if you really think about it, I
am a hero. Don't do drugs kids."
1 - "I couldn't stand to watch

even play offense."

CD review:
MuteMath equals a good time
to take hold of the Warped and scene kids
as well as the local cheer squad and other
artistic misfits.
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
"Plan B" is the most diverse song on the
Pride Staff Writer
album in terms of the stylistic choices made
Better not sit down before you listen to by the band and the instruments used. It's
this one. MuteMath is exactly like what
you'd listen to if a squad of fifty police
cars were chasing you down the 1-15 like
a fugitive on "America's Most Wanted."
That said, the opening number on the latest
release from Teleprompt/Warner Records
is a little on the softer side of the usual
MuteMath fury. Don't let that stand in your
way though. "Typical" still has enough guts
to get your heart pumping. The four-piece
New Orleans ensemble holds nothing back
on this rockin' self-titled release. Clocking
in at just over 63 minutes, MuteMath will
have your palms sweating and your heart
racing for a solid hour; that's better than
putting in an hour of cardio at the gym, if
you ask me.
With 14 tracks of high quality mayhem
and skilled musicianship, the vocals of
lead singer Paul Meany are a little bit Sting
meets John Mayer, but also slightly The MuteMath plays at the House of Blues.
Shins meet Simon and Garfunkel. The
sound is a mixture of several genres: rock, fast enough to rock out to, but still chill
electrónica, rave, reggae, pop, new wave enough to cruise to between pockets of
and j azz. Creating ambient songs that carry traffic on the freeway. Utilizing magical

songs on "MuteMath" are different enough spontaneous bouts of energy throughout all
THE PRIDE
Math. Its fast tempo, chasing cymbals, and
organ-esque breakdown paired with the
heavy and echoing pipes of Meany fuse
together seamlessly.
"Stare at the Sun," is more tech than it is
techno, combining multiple levels of distortion with electronic noises and guitar-heavy
rhythms. The vocals on this song, however,
smooth this number down, rounding it out
as a fairly enjoyable listening affair.
Speaking of affairs, seeing MuteMath
live is by far an affair I'll never be able to
forget. I had the opportunity to witness
them live a little over a year ago when they
opened for Mae at the San Diego House
of Blues. MuteMath totally stole the show.
They were thefirstband to play, and they
could have very well been the only band
that played that night None of the bands
that followed the incredible show MuteMath put on came even close to the quality and showmanship MuteMath possessed
that night. Jumping on equipment, thrashing bejeweled keytars, throwing instruments all over the stage, the lead singer

like sounds and pounding drums.
I dare you.

Descutes 2006 Jubelale W hite R ussian
BY DAVID BAUER
Pride Staff Writer
Every yearfromOctober through December, Deschutes Breweries' of central Oregon
brews their highly-anticipated Winter Jubelale. This year's batch has done especially
well, winning the Silver Medal at the 2006
Australian International Beef Awards and
taking home the gold in the 2006 World
Beer Championships. Deschutes 2006 Jubelale is a deep red-brown color. The head is
frothy and an inch thick which disappeared
after a few minutes leaving a small amount
of lacing around the edges. The smell is
crisp, sweet and well spicey with undertones
provided by its warm toasted malts. The
ale tastes sweet, fruity and spiced. It has a
medium mouthfeel and good body. Perfect
for the cold autumn and winter season, Jubelale is warming and delicious. Its after taste
is clean and slightly bitter with a hint of a
toasted maltflavor.It is available both on tap
and
in bottles, though the bottled
version is slightly harder

limousine. The beverage in question is the White Russian and its
popularity increaseddramatically
after Jeff Bridges starred as "The
Dude" Lebowski, an L.A. slacker
with a steady routine: "I bowl.
Drive around. The occasional
acid flashback." A Coen Brothers' film, "The Big Lebowski"
introduced cocktail-lovers' far
and wide to a little beverage that
shares its name with the Bolsheviks' political opponents during
the Russian Civil War.
The White Russian is a simple,
creamy cocktail composed of
vodka, Kahlua and cream served
on the rocks in an oldfashioned glass.
Though by no
means intensely
sweet, the flavor j
of the drink
reminds me
of an old-style
hard candy
like Werther's
Original. Its
creamy texture
and smooth,
warm sensation
boosts its luxury
factor - each sip
makes me feel as
if I'm indulging in
something delightfully decadent. Considering that the classic White Russian
contains cream, which
can be substituted for with
milk, it's a little, beverage that can
be quite naughty to your waistline. Also, don't be fooled by its
innocent appearance. Having
more than one of these little
beauties can make the unsuspecting drinker go from pleasantly
warm and relaxed to downright
debauched in surprisingly little
time. Thus, unlike The Dude, I
tend to reserve the White Russian
for treats and special occasions.
Making your own White Russian is simple: toss some ice into
an old-fashioned glass, add 2
ounces vodka, 1 ounce Kahlua,
and fill with light cream. Substituting Vanilla vodka (I use
Absolut Vanilia) will add another
subtle layer offlavor,making the
drink taste even more like a delicious candy confection. Enjoy!

Movie review:
^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
I've heard the song many times
on the local country radio stations; I just never really connected it to the movie "Flicka,"
until now. Listening to it, though,
in the car or at home, I've always
found myself a little misty-eyed at
the end of the song as it reminds
"Flicka

Now, sitting in an almost
barren movie theater with a mob
of 5-year-old girls a few rows
over and the 9-yr-old boy I babysit looking at me like I'm" crazy,
"My Little Girl," by Tim McGraw
anthems as the credits roll, and I
once again find myself mistyeyed. Inspired by the much-loved
novel "My Friend Flicka," by
Mary O'Hara, the adapted fulllength motion picture, "Flicka,"
is for those of all ages, especially
for those young at heart.
Starring Alison Lohman as
Mary McLaughlin and a shaven
Tim McGraw in his first acting
role as Mary's father, "Flicka'Ms
an endearing and enjoyable story
of a 16-yr-old girl who discovers herself in the wild mustang
she finds, befriends, and names
Flicka. Determined to follow her
family legacy and run her father's
horse ranch, Mary finds the wild
horse in the hills of modern day
Wyoming, and quicklyfindsthat
she and Flicka are more alike than
she could have ever dreamed.
Unwilling to give up her freedom, both Mary and Flicka face
challenges and loss in the film.
Capturing the connection that
can be made between a girl and
her animal companion, in this
case a wild mustang, "Flicka"
personifies the transition from
adolescence to adulthood and the
rocky journey one can experience
along the way.

A feel-sood
Watching the interaction and
realizations made by Mary in
her relationship with Flicka, and
through Mary and her relationship with her father, I found a
deeper appreciation for the good
things in life and the opportunities we all have each day to chase
our dreams and become the
person we wish to be.
The transformation that happens within Mary, Flicka, and
Mary's father in thefilmis humbling, and even though it's just a
movie, it inspires a multitude of
ideas and new hopes.
Set in the lush and beautiful
landscapes of the hills and mountains that decorate Wyoming,
more than anything, the scenery
and nature in "Flicka" awakened
this urge and need inside myself
to pick up and take off into the
wilderness: to get back to nature,
to be free from civilization, and
to be free in nature's beauty.
It seems that in the middle of
nowhere, somewhere lost in Cre-

ation, somewhere amidst the natural world, and somewhere away
from everything is else is the
exact place to take a moment to
find yourself.
A kid-friendly flick and tearjerker at times, "Flicka" is a
film that gives you your money's
worth, along with a few parting
thoughts. Though it wouldn't be
my first box office pick, I would
highly recommend "Flicka" to
anyone looking to do a little soulsearching.

Without curb parking, there

the previous spring. I think the
improved continuation rate could
be seen as a positive reflection of
the quality of education our students are receiving here."
In addition to the large increase
in the percentage of enrolled students last spring who continued
in the fall, the reason for the
increase in students is based on
other factors as well. According
to Riehl, "The additional construction of the campus and the
growing public image are some of
the main attractions to first time
freshmen. The weakened job
economy and tighter job market
might be partially responsible for
the improved continuation rate
from last spring. All campuses in
the CSU system are experiencing
similar unexpected growth, so it
is a statewide phenomenon."
Compared to the Fall 2002,
there were about 700 who
applied, and now the school
already has 1,200 prospective
students who have applied for
Spring 2003. CSUSM is currently budgeted for nearly 7,400
students on an annual average.
The unofficial count on students
for this semester is 7,600 and
this will be either confirmed or
changed with the census count
that was held at the end of September and will be released in
early October. Riehl did not say
what they will do if the number
of students admitted reaches
school capacity.
Although the requirements to
get into CSUSM are the same,
Riehl said that there is still a
need to remind students interested in attending Cal State San

This application deadline
could soon be a permanent part

plans for preferential enrollment
at this time, and both transfer
students as well as incoming

expectations, who has made
contributions to the university
deemed as exceptionally
valuable, is a Brakebill

Every year the Academic

library will have a problem

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

Usually when one goes to the
movies, one expects to observe
a series of dramatized situations
and hopefully be entertained by
the story, character development,
musical score and visual stimuli.
Most of us like to go to the
movies to laugh, or to lose ourselves in a larger than life adventure or romance, and sometimes
we just want to kill a few hours
in a dark air-conditioned space
with comfy seats. Das Experiment is definitely not a film for
someone looking for this sort of
light entertainment.

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

�Hostility Between Skateboarders and Inline Skaters
trees." No matter what conflict
is at hand, two wrongs do not
make a right. Therefore, the
only result of the argument is
the escalation of the conflict
that often turns into street
fights.
Really! Is skateboarding
harder than inline skating or
vice versa? I believe they
are two different sports, and
anyone who tries to say which
sport is better than the other is
clearly an idiot who is overgeneralizing.
Little do these people, who
create conflict, know that they
are wasting their time. Instead
offighting,they could be practicing, having fun, and not
worrying about which sport is
better. They overlook the fact
that when they are skateboarding or inline skating they are
free, not bound to the inline
skater or skateboarder role of
hating each other because their
equipment is different. Actu-
ally, skateboarders and inline
skaters are very similar to one
another. They are both involved
in a new revolution of sports, and
like to roll around to have fun.
So why is it necessary to
repeat the cycle of argument
and disgust for one another? I
know the answer. Skateboarders
and inline skaters conflict with
one another because they do not
take the time to acknowledge the
person behind the equipment,

I am also sick and tired of
inline skaters getting so upset at

Pride Staff Writer
The food in the Dome makes
me want to start packing my own
lunch before I come to school. I
know many of you feel this way
too, given the tasty choices the
Dome has to offer. We need a
little variety in our food court
selection, to say the least. Let's
break it down. We've got a
soup/salad bar, Casa Del Sol
(Mexican/Burger joint), Nana's
pizza and subs (the only food
remotely worthy of consumption), and last and certainly least,
House of Tsang.
We've all heard about the overthe-summer renovations (fresher
foods, bigger selection) that were
to make the Dome more palatable
for the students this fall. Student
Gail Tarantino shared with me a
personal account of what these
"improvements" exactly entailed.
"I went to Casa Del Sol to try the
new baked chicken plate that
they serve. The server pulled a

with cafeterias containing Taco
Bells, McDonalds, and other
well-known food stands. Why
are CSUSM students subjected to
sub-par food when other college
students are actually enjoying
their meals?
We are students driven by our
appetites. And what do we get
between classes? Overcooked,
marginal at best, Mexican and
Chinese foo3. I'll give Nana's a
little credit since it's pretty fresh
and relatively palatable pizza and
sandwiches. But when you sum
it all up, that's really all there is.
A person can only eat so much
pizza before they begin to desire
something more. Yet we all stand
in line, like a bunch of Russians
in a communist bread line. What
else can we do?
Rick Moore, Director of Communications at CSUSM, had this
to say about the subject: "I know
nothing about it, except that I've
heard the matter was investigated
and the major companies that
looked into it found that there
are not enough students here yet
to support their minimum sales
requirement."
After trying all ten items that
are on the menu throughout the
past two semesters, I feel compelled to ask, "Where is the nearest Taco Bell?" There are other
colleges in the San Diego area
It looks like new and improved
food is a diminutive priority
thus far. Enrolling new students
necessitates more parking spaces.
When this is running smoothly
we may finally have enough
students, which would then allow
us the ability to get more familiar
food stands. However, this probably won't happen for quite some
time, so hey! Have some pizza!

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

the team had great participation and team spirit, but generally only one or two surfers got
through multiple rounds. To be a
contender, they need to get more

campus," said volunteer coach

Coach Puha, is no stranger to
success. She was a member of
the NSSA National Team from
1985-1987. At USCD, where she
majored in mathematics, she was
part of their National Championship team and won an individual
National Championship. In 1998,
she graduated from UCLA with
a PhD in mathematics, but before
leaving she had accumulated two
more NSSA individual national
championships. Puha then came
to CSUSM in the fall of 1999.
Puha has stated, "I am thrilled to
have been able to help in facilitating the development of a surf
team here on campus." But she
also gives credit to ASI and her
team, "because without them this
wouldn't be possible. With such
an exemplary record, along with
some very talented surfers, it's
quite possible for the Cougars to
rank even higher than last year."
The surf team and other
CSUSM teams like it are studentrun and managed by ASI ( Associated Students Inc.). Therefore,
like any other ASI club sport,
the team has three player representatives, which include Dave
Kincannon, George Demarino,
and Dustin Franks. The representatives have worked with ASI
to officially register the team,
organize the tryouts, and help
raise funds.
CSUSM is a part of the NSSA
Southwest Conference and will
begin competition on October
27th in Ventura, California.

valuable tools available in one
place, Pick-A-Prof has become
a one-stop academic shop for
students. Not everyone is happy
with this service, however. Some
professors worry that students
will only focus on professors who
give the most A's."
With registration deadlines for
the spring semester approaching in November, some CSUSM
students may find pickaprof.com
a valuable asset in obtaining any
information, regarding specific
professors or courses that might
be of interest. When asked about
using the website, senior Brittany
Smith says, "It's good in a way
because students find out about
horrible teachers who don't teach.
But it's bad in a way because
students choose easier teachers
[and] then slip and slide through
the system. It's not a level playing
field, but when is it ever a level
playing field?"
Pickaprof.com also has a new
service available on their website. Now, students who access
the website can see what classes'
friends and peers are taking by
clicking on the title of a particu-
lar course. Upon clicking on a
particular course, pictures of the
friends and peers enrolled will
appear on the screen. Generally,
the majority of courses offered at
most universities are posted on
the website.
The founder of pickaprof.com
says, "We find that students are
underestimated and are using the
grades as a way to gauge how to
prepare for the class. In general,
students are at [a] university for
an education and are looking for
the professors they'll learn the
best from."

�Domestic violence discussion
to be held Wednesday
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
Lori Walsh, a representative from
the Center of Community Solutions
in Escondido will present an open
discussion to CSUSM students on
domestic violence on Wednesday.
Scheduled to take place during
University Hour in Academic Hall,
Room 111, the discussion is open to
all students and a free lunch will be
available to those who attend.
The purpose for the domestic violence forum is to heighten alertness
about the impact violence cañ have
in everyone's lives, not just in women's lives. Morgan Hoodenpyle, Programming and Events Coordinator
for ASI's Women Center and coordinator of the forum says, "People
don't realize how hard it can be for
[victims]—who are in a situation of
domestic violence—to speak out.
There are so many factors that can
tie a person down into a violent situation, like financial restrictions,
children, and prior history. Abusers
can also isolate a victim, by gaining
control of the victim's life and cut
them off from other people."
The intention of the discussion
is to inform people about the psychological, emotional, and financial
barriers that can handicap the victims of domestic violence. Another
important point to keep in mind too,
is that domestic violence doesn't
always translate into physical abuse
that results in bruises, cuts, or
other visible ramifications. Stalking, harassment, emotional abuse,

just in time to attend scheduled 9:00
a.m. classes. Each UABC student
will have the opportunity to select
and attend a lecture after having
chosen from an array of courses
currently in session. Professors who
teach classes from 9:00 to 10:15
a.m. and from 10:30 to 11:45 were

According to the National Cancer
Association, men are not only at risk
for testicular cancer, but as most
people aren't aware, men can also
be at risk for breast cancer. Women,
however, are largely at a much higher
risk for breast cancer; 211,000 women
were diagnosed with breast cancer
last year, and over 43,000 women
died from breast cancer last year as
well. Comparatively, roughly 1,600
men were diagnosed with breast
cancer in the U.S. in 2005, and 400
of those diagnosed lost their lives to
it.
Breast cancer is the most common
form of cancer found in women and
currently makes up 1/3 of the cancers diagnosed in U.S. women. In
contrast, whereas testicular cancer
is more common in younger men,
giving UABC students a wide
variety of classes to choose from.
Nearly 15 CSUSM students have
already signed up to join the UABC
students throughout the day's events
that include classes, lunch, and community service. There are currently
five more spaces open for CSUSM
students to volunteer to work alongside the UABC students.
Along with participating students,
President Haynes, Dr. Peter Zwick
(Director of University Global
Affairs), and Dr. Vivienne Bennett
(Interim Director of the Center for
Border and Regional Affairs) will
welcome UABC students as they
join for lunch in front of Kellogg
Library during University Hour.
After lunch, UABC students and

ages and corresponding percentages
of breast cancer incidence within the
subsequent ten years of a woman's
life are listed. For example, a woman
who is 20 years old has a 1/1,985

1/229 chance; a 40-year-old woman
has a 1/68 chance; a 50-year-old
woman has a 1/37 chance; a 60 year
old woman has a 1/26 chance; and
a 70-year-old woman has a 1/24

Hoodenpyle later added, "For both

world, at least one in every three

into sex or otherwise abused during
her lifetime," is the statistic printed
on the flyer for .the domestic violence discussion. "It's a global statistic," Hoodenpyle explains, "and
when you think about it, what does
that say about our own cultural and
global perspective of women? What
does it mean? How do we -address
it? Where do we start to get national

are all things we hope to address."

THE PRIDE
Mastering Graduate school admission
BY DAVID BAUER
Pride Staff Writer
Graduate school sounds intimidating.. .a
complicated form of higher education with
the goal of a Masters Degree or Doctorate;
full of theses, GRE scores, and various
classifications of students. However, in
sifting through the m&ss of information on
CSUSM's website, prospective graduate
students will be able to successfully navigate this demanding course of education.
This upper echelon of education is only
available to those who have completed a
four-year education and received an appropriate Bachelor's Degree. Prospective students must also have a grade point average of at least 2.5 and be in good academic
standing with the last university they
attended. Some programs require GRE
scores. The GRE could be considered
the SAT for graduating college students,
if you will. The requirements are in the
student's best interest, ensuring that they
are prepared for the rigors of a graduate
program.
Students who are admitted to CSUSM's
graduate program would be placed in one
of four different graduate student classifications. Graduate Classified students
are those who have met all requirements.
A student who has not met all requirements may still be admitted as a Graduate Conditionally Accepted. Those seeking to enroll in a credential or certificate
program would be admitted as a Post-baccalaureate Classified student. Individuals
who wish to take classes few professional

Blood Sugar Control May
Be Just a Breath Away
Do you have episodes of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)?
This study will evaluate an investigational formulation
of insulin taken by inhalation at mealtime to see if it can
provide blood sugar control comparable to rapid-acting
insulin injection (both in combination with long-acting
insulin) in people with type 1 diabetes. Using rapid-acting
insulin in your regimen helps more closely mimic the
metabolism of people without diabetes and may reduce the
risk of a dangerous hypoglycemic episode.
If you qualify for this two-year research study, you will
receive all study-related diabetes care and study medication
at no cost, and may be compensated for time and travel.
You will also get a glucose monitor and all diabetes
supplies, including prefilled and disposable FlexPens® at no
cost for the duration of the study.
To qualify, you must:
•
Be at least 18 years of age
•
Have a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes

Women's Golf Takes 19th at
Aztec Fall Classic; Ludwig Top
Finisher
Competing in a field that featured some NCAA Division-I
squads, the CSUSM women's golf
team struggled at the Aztec Fall
Classic, finishing 19th out of 19
teams. Carly Ludwig was the top
Cougar finisher, taking 86th.
Coming off a win in its first
competition ofthe fall, Tuesday's
finish was a bit of a letdown for
the team. On the difficult par72 6,259-yard course at Chula
Vista Golf Club, no Cougar was
able to break 80 during the two
rounds of competition.
Men's Soccer Posts Convincing 6-0 Win Over La Sierra;
Defense Back on Track
Mike Nuovo's two goals propelled the Cougar men's soccer
team (11-3) to a convincing 6-0
win at La Sierra University on
Wednesday. Earlier this month,
CSUSM defeated La Sierra by a
score of 4-0.
Almost as important than the
win itself was the fact that the
squad's defense regained its
form. In its first eleven games,
the Cougars limited opponents to
just seven goals. But in a weekend road trip against U.C. Santa
Cruz and Menlo, the defense faltered, allowing seven goals in
just the two games.
Wednesday's match was the
first since those games, and the
defense bounced back better than
ever, as did keeper Trent Painter.
The offense was awfully good
too, with forwards Curtis Marcikic and Mike Nuovo playing
dynamic games. The Cougars
controlled every phase of the
match, out-shooting La Sierra
Carly Ludwig led the squad
in both rounds, shooting 83 on
Monday followed by an 81 on
Tuesday. Jennell French followed up a first-round 88 with an
82, good for second on the Cougars and 105th overall. Behind
her were Danielle Pearce (8487), Adriana Bowman (85-86),
and EllyseSiu (91-86).

The University of Denver,
whose squad posted an impressive two-day team score of 582,
won the event. BYU finished
seven shots back for second,
and U.C. Irvine took third with
a score of 596. CSUSM's final
score was 675.

lead, defeating La Sierra 3-2
rim. Crouse was able to tuck his
shot into the bottom corner of
the net.
At the 43-minute mark,
CSUSM would push its lead to
5-0. Miguel Jacobo hit a cross
that found Brandon Zuniga, who
made a nifty redirection towards
the goal. The keeper would make
the save, but Daniel Vasquez was
there to clean up the rebound.
The scoring was capped off in
the 70th minute when Bradley
Seidenglanz collected a loose ball,
made a run through the defense,
and beat the keeper. The 7-0 final
score matches the squad's biggest
margin of victory, which came in
the September 7th win over San
Diego Christian College.
Next up for the Cougars is a
home game against Chapman
University on Friday, October
20. All fans are welcome to head
down to Mangrum Field to cheer
on their Cougars in the last home
match of their inaugural season!
Kickoff is at 4:00 p.m., with the
women's team playing at 2:00
p.m.
by a staggering total of 29-3, and
earning ten corner kicks to their
opponent's zero.
The Cougar scoring came
early and often. Off the opening
kickoff, Curtis Marcikic split the
defense for a one-on-one with the
keeper, but was unable to convert.
At the one-minute mark, Miguel
Jacobo penetrated the defense,
and struck a cross in front of the
goal. A La Sierra defender tried
to head it aside, but redirected it
into his net for an own goal.
But the Cougars wouldn't need
that kind of luck on Wednesday.
In the 11th minute, Curtis Marcikic slid a pass to Mike Nuovo
behind the defense, and Nuovo
was able to slip it under the keeper.
Just two minutes later, the same
duo teamed up for another goal,
with Marcikic once again finding
Nuovo behind the defense.
Three minutes after that, the
Cougars earned a free kick in La
Sierra territory. Chris Wyatt surprised his opponents by taking
the kick quickly, and finding
defender Ben Crouse making a

Women's Soccer Able to Hold
Onto Lead, Defeats La Sierra 32
Reversing what has become
a painful trend over the last
month, the CSUSM women's
soccer team (4-8-1) was able to
successfully close out L a Sierra
on Wednesday, edging out a 32 victory. The win snaps a twogame losing streak.
It was the Cougars' second victory over La Sierra this season,
both of which have come by 3-2
scores. On the season, CSUSM
has struggled in one-goal games,
losing five of six of such matches
before Wednesday.
But the team has persevered,
and is finally being rewarded for
its hard work and effort. At La
Sierra, the Cougars came out on
fire, getting on the scoreboard in
the second minute. Miquella Martinez, who played a terrific game
overall, crossed a ball to Randi
Leyva. Leyva was able to strike
the ball out of mid-air, knocking it
into the lower-right corner.
With a 1-0 lead, the squad
went into a bit of a lull, and La
Sierra capitalized. They equalized the score in the 22nd minute
when Shelley Bun hit a corner
kick to Starlena Murray, and
Murray was able to finish. The
1-1 score would hold up through
halftime.
After halftime, the Cougars
would regain the spirit they had
early in the game. In the 64th
'minute, Miquella Martinez once
again set up a teammate, this
time Kelly Wherry. Martinez
played a ball across the top of
the box, Wherry controlled it,
and drove it into the upper right
corner of the net.
Seven minutes later, the Cougars pushed the lead to 3-1.
Clarissa Hidalgo made one of
her trademark rims through the
defense, and was able to beat the
keeper with a strong finish.
Though the squad was able to
hold on for the win, it would not
come as easily as Coach Ron Pulvers would have liked. With one
minute left, Shelley Bun brought
La Sierra back within one, and
the possibility of another lategame disappointment was suddenly evident. However, CSUSM
was able to hang on, winning the
game 3-2 for their fourth win of
the season.
In what was an all-around
strong effort, both the back and
front lines had strong games.
The Cougars will try to keep
the momentum going when they
face off against Chapman University on Friday. The game will
be played at Mangrum Field at
2:00 p.m., so come on out and
support your Cougars!

Men's Cross Country takes 2nd, women place
4th at Fullerton; Mejia breezes to another win
Men's Cross Country Takes
2nd, Women 4th at Fullerton;
Mejia Breezes to Another Win
At the Fullerton Invite on Friday,
the CSUSM men's and women's
cross-country teams looked sharp,
finishing 2nd and 4th, respectively.
Cougar Juan Mejia won the men's
event easily, while Bonghabih
Shey led the women's squad with
a 9th place finish.
The event marks Mejia's second
consecutive win. Last week at Vanguard, he crossed the tape 48 seconds before the any other runner in
thefield.This time around, Mejia
had 33 seconds to catch his breath
before the second place finisher
arrived. Mejia's 25:49 is in line
with his times at other events this
year, and his potential at regionals
and nationals is off-the-charts.
Mejia wasn't the only Cougar
who looked great in the team's
final tune-up before Nationals. With the squad's usual #2
runner Phil Hoffman, finishing
31st, sophomore Mike Crouch
picked up the slack in a big way.
His time of 26:25 was good for
fourth-place, and a mere 3 seconds behind second.
Crouch was one of eleven runners whofinishedwithin 33 seconds of second-place - making
Mejia's margin of victory all the
more impressive.
On the women's side, Bonghabih Shey continued her string
of strong finishes, taking 9th
place with a time of 18:39. It
was the second time that Shey,
already an accomplished track
athlete, led the cross-country
team this fall.
Whitney Patton, who has
led the squad in the events
Shey hasn't, took 18th. Olympia Olguin backed up a strong
19th-place finish at Vanguard
by taking 27th on Friday. She's
been a pleasant surprise this year
for Coach Steve Scott, and has
improved tremendously since
last year.
Overall, the Cougar women
finished with a time of 1:35:05,
good for fourth place. Cal Coast
TC won the women's 5k event by
running 1;30:45, and UC Santa
Barbara finished second. Santa
Barbara won the men's 8k event
with a total time of 2:13:36, 36
seconds better than the secondplace Cougars. CSUSM results

played on two of the seven days
Take the Tommy Lasorda cam-
paign that has been running on
television during the playoffs.
MLB has put all of their advertising money for the playoffs into
the lap of an 80-year-old white
guy. The only people who, know
Lasorda are die-hard baseball
fans, and MLB already has that
person coming to the ballpark. If
MLB wants to regain any popularity that it once had, it needs to
use its money on someone that
can appeal to the casual fan, the
fan that is younger than 80 years
old.
The NBA is misguided as well,
but at least they're trying. If you
haven't noticed, the NBA is a
game that is dominated by African-Americans, with a few good
white guys thrown into the mix.
It is no secret that Hip-Hop (not
the music, but the lifestyle) is
synonymous with the NBA. So,
my question concerns why David
Stern, the NBA commissioner, is
trying to change the sport.
Look at what Stern is doing
with all of these rule changes.
Last season he instituted a
dress code. He said that dress
clothes had to be worn immediately before and after games. As
soon as an NBA player enters an
arena, he has to suit up. Before
this rule, players showed up at
press conferences wearing the
types of clothing brands that
NBA fans wear; "Rocawear,"
"Ecko," "Sean John,'' etc. Basically, types of clothing that is
associated with "minority"
groups and the younger generation. Stern has always tried
to attract an older white audience, but what he doesn't seem
to understand is that they aren't
ever going to be interested in
the NBA. The only thing that
he is doing is diminishing the
largest consumer audience
around.
MLB and the NBA also need
to take a page from the NFL
on hoiw to handle disciplinary
issues. Look at what is taking
over the headlines right now in
both sports. MLB has all these
steroid problemsfloatingaround.
Someone actually has to get
caught with a needle in their arm
to actually be found guilty, and
they have to be caught like 30
times before they are kicked out
of the sport. In the NBA, Steven
Jackson and his off-court crusade
with a gun outside of a strip club
is only one of the many incidents
from an NBA player of late. I am
assuming the disciplinary action
taken by the NBA will be minuscule, if at all, against Jackson. In
the NFL, if you screw up you are
banished to Canada, like Ricky
Williams.
I guess what I am basically
saying is that I should be commissioner of the NBA and MLB.

[campus» problems with
l etters
Most college students have experienced
the indignity of minimum wage jobs as
well as the barren results they produce.
Recently, the U.S. Senate rejected a proposal to raise the minimum wage that
would have%ffeSted 11% of the workforce
or about 14.9 million Americans. Many
states, including California, are raising the
minimum wage through state legislatures,
but the same old story is been played out
again in other areas. States like Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana do not even
have state minimum wage laws, leaving
the already impoverished Southern states
even further behind the curve.
While this may have a small impact as us
as Californians, it is important to America
as a nation to promote a strong workforce.
It becomes difficult for workers to insist
on their own rights and fair wages when
people in other parts of the country are not
afforded those same rights.
The emerging global markets require a
level of high education to stay on top of the
game. The only way to achieve this on a
large scale in America is to ensure that all
people at least have a basic level of comfort. Many people entering the middle class
fear that a raise in the minimum wage will
affect their wages negatively, but essential
workers will always be compensated for
the expertise that they bring to the job.
Many cities and even suburbs in America are experiencing high levels of crime
due to poverty?the only way for poverty to
be alleviated is through the rise the wages
of the workers that are at the lowest end of
the spectrum, minimum wage laborers. It
is hard to imagine conditions worsening,
but the Senate, in its vote against a minimum wage increase, has ensured that conditions will worsen for those that depend
on compensation from our nations largest
corporations.

THE PRIDE
Movie review:
"Marie
Antoinette
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
Coppola could have done to develop the
characters more to the benefit of the audience. I think that if Hollywood is going to interpret a historical period of time,
and a loathed French queen at that, they could have spiced
things up a little bit. Isn't that what the money from our
tickets goes to anyways?
^
Painfiilly clocking in at 118 minutes, the action r
and plot of the story didn't even kick in until the
final 40 minutes. On a side note, all who are familiar with
the actual history and the details of Louis XVI and
Marie will find this movie rather forced in terms
of its timeline of events; and for those going in
cold (unaware of the historical facts), don't take
this movie as a depiction" of what really happened.
The film basically locks Marie and the audience up in
Versailles, trailing Antoinette around the palace, documenting her frivolity and life as a spoiled, royal socialite,
Hinting at affairs, rumors, scandals, stagnant sexuality,
and bizarre extravagance, Coppola barely scratches the
surface in her portrayal of the publicly-hated Dauphine.
With no inner transformation or conflict in Antoinette's
character that the audience is able to relate to —other than
Louis XVIs disinterest in consummating his marriage—
the film's blandness outweighs its beautiful production. I kept waiting for something to happen and
A|
nothing did: no evil villain swept in to steal
.«¿AgS
the show, there was no beheading, and no J M
windows were broken as a result of the
Jjj
French Revolution that was happening É |
just outside the palace door. All in all, ^ H ^ B H R B
the film just felt unfinished.
a^Hffi^H
Other historical biopics that I have J Ê
seen, like "Amadeus," "Malcom É •
X," "Ray," and "Kinsey," are
MHBBI
better examples of films that
portray the characters from a
HB
perspective that audiences
J9
can identify with. "Marie É Ê B ^ ^ Ê K Ê
Antoinette" just doesn't hit
JH
home for me. I felt misled
as a consumer, and when 9 É f l B | |
all was said and done, I ^ ^ H f l i
just wanted my two hours j P B M f f
and ten bucks back.
I would have much rather watched Marie Antoinette
(Kirsten Dunst) rock out to some Vivaldi instead of The
Cure and Bow Wow Wow. Don't get me wrong. I love The
Cure, just not as a musical backdrop for the French queen
gallivanting about Versailles in the late 1700s.
Directed by Sofia Coppola, "Marie Antoinette," is a
beautiful and airy inspection of the life of the young Austrian, Marie Antoinette, who is betrothed to Louis XVI in
order to bolster relations between Austria and France. The
film highlights the shortcomings that Marie Antoinette
experiences as she struggles to become accustomed to the
traditions and routines of her newly acquired position.
I'll start by saying that this movie was nothing like I
expected it to be. Going into it I anticipated this film to
be something like the 1996 remake of William Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet" with Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio. The overlay of modern music and conjk temporary attitudes towards sex, drugs, and rock 'n
I roll distracted me at too many points throughout the
I film. Detracting from the façade of elegant deserts
|F and ornate dresses, the humane Marie Antoinette
that the movie tried so hard to portray was almost lost
in Coppola's zealous ambition. Aside from the beautiit
ful period detail in costumes, hairstyles and decor,
there isn't really any substance to this film; in
% fact, as an audience member it's hard to stay
k
1 afloat in the over-processed images of an 18th
f century France.
Moreover, Jason Schwartzman who plays
Louis XVI, I feel, is greatly miscast. Even though his
character in the movie is rather aloof, as an actor he lacks
the energy and ability to bring Louis XVI to life. Not that
there was particularly any chemistry between
Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI in any
i f l H p n | k history books, but a little more chemisV^Br
try on screen—I mean it is Hollywood
|W
we're talking about—would have kept
*¥
the audience awake long enough to watch the end
^ W j V credits. As for Dunst, she seems to struggle
\ m j f i w i with her role. Though it doesn't require all
iW ¥
that much depth, or even that many speakI* I
ing lines aside from "Let them eat cake!" on
L
2 screen Dunst is a lack-luster teenage queen.

Sixth annual
Masquerade
Ball
Being In the know about TB
Concerns about tuberculosis call for awareness among students
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
On Saturday, October 7, ASI will
host the Sixth Annual Masquerade Ball
for CSUSM students and their guests at
the House of Blues in downtown San
Diego. Masks or no masks, it's that time
of the year again, and students campuswide are gearing up and getting ready
for the annual excursion.
Last year, only days before the dance,
ASI sold out of the 500 tickets they had
available. When they reached their maximum capacity at the HardRock Café in
La Jolla, they simply decided that one
dance a year was not enough and later
held the first ever Spring Fling. This
year, in order to meet the demand of the
student body, ASI moved the event to
H.O.B. in the Gaslamp.
ASI Coordinator of Student Activities, Sara Gallegos, saysi "We expect to
sell out at 1,000 tickets." With less than
one week left before the ball, 755 tickets
have already been sold at the rate of lt)0
tickets per week.
Gallegos believes that the Masquerade Ball and other events put on by
ASI are growing ever more popular
as enrollment increases along with the
higher number of younger students
attending CSUSM.
Although the H.O.B. has a restaurant,
students and their guests will occupy
the music hall and bar. ASI recommends that students eat at the surrounding restaurants.
Tickets are on sale now in Commons

Tuberculosis: Edgar Allen Poe died from
it. Nelson Mandela lives with it. And last
week at San Diego State University, a foreign exchange student living in the dorms
was diagnosed with it. Although most
people believe he contracted the disease
overseas, it does not take much for tuberculosis to spread. TB is spread through the
air from sneezes, coughs, and even from
just talking with a person face to face.
Symptoms
of
tuberculosis
include an unusual
feeling of weakness, weight loss,
night
sweats,
coughing,
and
chest pain.
Ultimately,
those who are at
higher risk for

disease are people
who share the same breathing space with
those who have TB. But j ust because someone is infected with the bacteria that causes
tuberculosis, does not mean they will contract it, only 10% of individuals develop
the actual disease. If individuals do not
develop the.disease, the tuberculosis bacteria strain remains dormant in their system.
Some individuals are not capable of fighting off the infection which causes the bacteria to grow. As a result, these individuals
eventually develop active tuberculosis and
experience the ailing shortcomings of the
chronic disease.

AIDS in Africa Tent: A call to action Catch
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
In cooperation with World Vision,
CSUSM's Intervarsity Christian Fellowship Club aims to educate CSUSM stu-
dents this week about the harsh realities of
the AIDS in Africa epidemic. ÌCF will do
this with the help of volunteers, CSUSM
students, and their AIDS in Africa tent.
The twenty-foot long tent, on the grass
in front of the library, will display pictures
the fever
of adults and children in Africa living
with AIDS. CSUSM students will stand
in front of the tent and welcome people
inside where they will be given headphones to listen to testimonies of people
who have suffered from AIDS. As they
listen, they will have the opportunity to
view pictures in the surrounding tentt.
Upon leaving the AIDS in Africa tent,
students will be given a stamp on their
hand that declares them HIV positive or
negative, pertaining to the statistics of
people who have AIDS in Africa.
IFC's mission is to experience God, and
change the world. Their mission for the
tent is to have CSUSM students respond
economically, politically and spiritually.
They hope the emotional impact will
cause the students to react in any way
they can, whether it is raising funds, writing letters to senators, or praying to God.
Ultimately they want each student to ask
themselves one question: How can I take
action? Ramiro Marchena, a representative of Intervarsity Christian Fellowship,
Wondering what all of the hype around
campus is all about this week? Well, in
case you just crawled out of your den, it's
Cougar FEVER Week at CSUSM, presented by A SI!' What does that mean? It
means it's time to get your FEVER on!
With an excess of exciting activities ASI
has planned this week just for you, the
student body, you won't have a hard time
finding something of interest to participate in or enjoy.
So, if you're bummed that you missed
out on the free food and awesome Jazz
music yesterday during University Hour,

Health Services says, "We don't know any
patients that come here who have active
tuberculosis."
For those living in close proximity to one
another, such as in the dorms on campus
(where most apartments have six roommates
to an apartment), the best way to prevent
tuberculosis is to keep the apartment well
ventilated.
A PPD skin test is the easiest way to detect
the TB infection or the TB disease in an individual. If an individual tests positive for the
infection, chest X-rays would be required for
a doctor to see if the disease caused any permanent lung damage. Even if an individual
has the TB infection, they cannot spread it to
others. However, it will be easier for them to
develop the TB disease in the future.
For those who have the inactive TB, the
best way to kill the infection is to take Isoniazid or INH antibiotics for nine months with
one pill a day. Those with the TB infection or
disease must participate in regular checkups
for the rest of their life. Infected individuals
would then take a course of INH antibiotics.
After treatment there is a less than 1% chance
that the individual will develop the TB disease.
cepts that ultimately lead to a healthy lifestyle
and can prevent tuberculosis among other
diseases. They are familiar to us as the otfe
piece of advice we hear over and over again:
adequate amounts of sleep, continuous exercise and a healthy diet.
With today's modern medicine and technology, people can live their lives with the TB
infection or disease.
On our campus, TB tests are given to foreign exchange students along with future
teachers in the credential program.

it, but to do something about it."
In the future, the AIDS in Africa tent will travel to
San Diego State University and UC San Diego, but
our Intervarsity Christian Fellowship Club hopes
that it will travel to college campuses nationwide.
Intervarsity will be working in the AIDS in Africa
tent this Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m.

According to their own site, Wikipedia
is a "web-based free content multilingual
encyclopedia" that "allows any visitor to
freely edit [the] content." With over five
million articles from topics such as the
history of the fork to current trends and
popular items like the iPod, wikipedia.
org covers anything and everything.
CSUSM student April Paustian, a Literature and Writing Studies major planning to graduate in with the class of 2009
says, "You can find so many different
topics at once. Anything I know I want,
I can get it [on Wikipedia]."
Before*I used Wikipedia as a research
tool, I used Google to find relevant information. Google however is merely a
search site and does not host content of
its own. After a year of using Google to
locate various sources of content information, I was impressed by the ease
of having one centralized, searchable
information source. One click on "add
to favorites" and Wikipedia became my
main online research tool.
I typically use Wikipedia for school,
but lately I have been using the website
for personal use as well. For example, I
wanted to know what the "check digit"
was regarding the vehicle identification
number (VIN) for my car. Not only did
Wikipedia have a clear explanation, but
the site even provided the formula that
produce^,the check digit number.
I have often typed random questions
into Wikipedia, and the results provided
are almost always relevant to the ques-

Cal State San Marcos is growing rapidly, and the school's administrators
are being challenged to not only maintain, but also improve the educational
resources for students each year. One
such resource is the Language Lab/
Language Learning Center (LLC) that
has been available to students since the
inception of CSUSM. However, one
problem currently facing administrators is making new students aware of its
availability here on campus.
/ Students currently studying a foreign
language on campus are encouraged to
stop by the LLC, because of the wonderful help provided by its tutors. For example, Richard Lewis, a Business Finance
major and senior here at CSUSM, likes
going to the LLC because there are tutors
available almost anytime throughout the

sessions before exams and finals. After
all, "It's Free!" says Michael Hughes,
CSUSM Assistant Professor of German
and Spanish. Hughes also encourages
his students to go to the Language Lab
and get help from the tutors on their
papers and homework.
Another student, Randy Saldivar, a
senior and President of the Kamalayan
Alliance, raves about the LLC tutors:
"Peter Vu was a great help to me when
it came to understanding and practicing
my Japanese." It seems that the general
consensus is that the tutors are truly
helpful at the LLC.
Interestingly enough, the LLC contains many computer workstations that
vary from televisions and cassette tape
players, to interactive computers with
built-in specialized language tools. The
language tools are pivotal in facilitating the correct applications of language
translations. The translating capacity and

degree of specialization the LLC offers
could mean the difference between an
"A" paper and a "C" paper. One final
note about the technology in the LLC is
that it contains a "vast variety of audio
and visual equipment that help out with
students' learning experience of a foreign language," says Saldivar.
"Lastly and maybe most importantly,
is the fact that the collaboration between
CSUSM professors and the LLC staff
is what really makes the LLC advantageous to CSUSM students. To create a
more conducive learning environment
for students, professors such as Hughes,
implement lesson plans that integrate
tutor participation during specific lectures.
Another objective the Centers for
Learning and Academic Support Services (CLASS) has is to centralize
the many student-based services here
on campus. Located in Craven 4107,
Senior CLASS Director Lorena Meza
affirms that, "We are here to support
our students by providing them with
the resources necessary for academic
excellence." Promoting the edification
of his peers, Lewis adds, "I [would]
definitely recommend it to other students."
Next time you're struggling with your
Spanish, consider going to the Language Learning Center/Language Lab
for all of you foreign language needs, or
just for a quiet place to study. The LLC
is located in University Hall Rooms 240

W omen's golf t eam o pens w ith w in
BY FERNANDO BROWN
Pride Sports Writer
In 2005, the CSUSM women's golf
team faced adversity, on and off of
the course. On the course, their only
tournament win came in the Region
II Championships against three other
teams with mediocre talent. Off of the
course, the team was withcpt Coach
Fred Hanover, who was dismissed
from his position. Things started to
turn around towards the end of t he
season last year when the women
were able to place fourth at Nationals.
The momentum continued during t he
summer when Hanover was brought
back to his role of bead coach.
Last week, the Cougars continued
the good news as they opened their
2006 season with a victory at The
Grand Canyon Fall 'invitational in
West Phoenix, Ariz. ^
"It feels fantastic,*? says Hanover.
"They did everything necessary t o,
have a successful tournament."
As a team, the Cougars shot 609,
which was 11 shots less than second
place team, Southern Nazarene (620).
The winner of the individual tournament was CSUSM Senior Jennell
French, her first win since the 2005
Cougar Classic. French managed to
finish her two round total with 146
(73-73).
"I've been working very hard," says
French. "It's impressive that we all
came together as a team."
Men's C.C. Takes 4th at Riverside; Meija Shines Again
According to French, her last three
holes were the highlights of the tournament.
"I finished birdie, birdie, par, and
I was behind the last three holes,"
reports French.
Apparently her performance was
contagious to her Cougar teammates.
Sophomore Ellyse Siu stood out
among her teammates, displaying significant improvement since her freshman year, and finishing fourth with a
two^round total of 150 (76-74).
"Best performance I've ever had,"
says Siii. "Everything felt right.",
Senior Christina Austin shared 12th
place with a score of 156 (79-77), and
one shot behind was Carly Ludwig, a
junior, with a score of 157 (80-77).
Hanover and t he Cougars continue
to set their sights on the National
Championship for the 2006-2007
year. However, Hanover insists there
is much room for improvement before
National's in the spring.
"Hopefully they will continue
to play hard and even better," says
Hanover, "I don't even think this is
their best performance."
Hanover's goals are certainly not
lost on the team's performance.
"We really have a strong team this
year," French says. "Everyone wants
to play well, make our school look
good, and represent CSUSM."
csu The California State University
WORKING f OR CALIFORNIA
CSU Students and Faculty Deserve the Best
CSU students and the faculty at our 23 campuses need and deserve a learning environment
that is conducive to providing quality education. That is why the CSU is disappointed that
the California Faculty Association did not allow its members to evaluate the most recent
proposal put on the table by the CSU, which includes:
•
A 24.87 percent salary increase over four years, beginning in 2006/07, contingent
upon funding of the Compact with the Governor and an additional I percent
augmentation f or compensation
•
Continuation of the Faculty Early Retirement Program (FERP), reducing the
number of years from five to four
•
Incentive and equity pay program for full professors and tenure-track professors
•
No changes to faculty eligibility for PERS retirement
•
Health and dental benefits above the standard for California and other universities
•
Attractive lecturer rights
•
Gradually increased parking fees for faculty so at the end of 4 years they pay the
same parking fees as students
The CSU hopes these issues can be resolved soon so that our faculty can receive the salary
increases they deserve, and our students can continue receiving the quality education they
expect from the California State University.

Though they are just three events into the
season, the CSUSM men's cross country
team is giving Cougar fans plenty of reason
to get excited about the squad's potential to
compete at Nationals.
At the UC Riverside Cross Country Invitational on Sunday, the men placed a solid
fourth place out of 15 teams. This comes one
week after they posted a second place finish
at San Diego State, and two weeks after finishing fifth in their season-opener at Irvine.
In ail; three events, the squad was led by
senior Juan Mejia, who appears poised to
carve out a place for himself in the program's
history. At Riverside on Sunday, Mejia
notched his second top-5 finish in three
events, taking 4th place. He finished the fivemile run with a time of24:29.40.
He was followed by Phil Hoffman, who
placed 18th with a time of 25:19.70. Just
behind him was Mike Crouch, finishing
22nd. Rounding out the Cougars' top five
were Sergio Gonzalez (35th), and Thomas
Thys (39th).
The event was narrowly won by Southern
Utah, who edged out host school U.C. Riverside. Cal Poly Pomona took third place, followed by CSUSM.
Below are the full results of the Cougars'
top-5 runners, with their place for team-scoring purposes (not including runners who participated individually).

Resounding 4-0 Victory over La Sierra for Men's Soccer
Coming off an emotional 1-0 win at Biola,
the Cougar men won in a much less thrilling, but equally effective fashion on Sunday,
coasting to a 4-0 home victory over La
Sierra.
From the opening kickoff, it was clear
that CSUSM (9-2) had the upper hand. The
Cougars controlled play throughout the first
half, connecting on passes to create scoring
opportunities and shutting down La Sierra's
offense entirely.
The Cougars' back line was impenetrable, with fullbacks Brian Luhrs and Chris
Dunckel playing especially strong defensive
games. La Sierra could not generate any kind
of sustained attack on Cougar keeper Trent
Painter; who, with the help of the strong
defense, earned his sixth shutout of the
season.
The 4-0 score would hold up for the Cougars' ninth win in eleven tries this season.
The team appears to have rebounded stronger
than ever from its last loss, a 2-1 heartbreaker
against Vanguard University two weeks ago,
as evidenced by its wins over Biola and now
La Sierra. The team will carry its momentum into three straight road games, the first
being on October 7 at UC Santa Cruz.

OPINION
THE PRIDE
Jock talk w ith Josh: "T.O."
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Sports Writer
Who said
Terrell Owens
doesn't care
about other
people? He
nearly made
me
happy
with his "accidental overdose" on
September 26.
I can count on one hand the
number of people in sports that I
don't like to write or talk about;
Terrell Owens is one of those
people. The reports of his "accidental overdose," which he talked
about last week, were the final
straw for me.
Owens likes the spotlight. Who
doesn't like the spotlight? I know
I love it, but I know I wouldn't go
to the lengths that he has gone to,
to maintain it. Name another star
wide receiver in the NFL that has
a publicist speaking for him. I
think Owens has used a spokesperson more over the past six
years than George W. Bush has.
Tell me another player in the
league that has Deion Sanders
stepping outside of hi& home to
ward off the media. That's kind of
like being a prostitute and having
a stripper defend your character. Deion isn't exactly the best
person to have in your corner.
Name another player in the
league that hires unintelligent
personnel to mediate that spotlight.
There are so many sketchy
things around this whole "accidental overdose."
First off, I have spent more than
my fair share of time in the hospital for various surgeries. I have
also taken many different types of
painkillers. Before doctors hand
out those types of drugs, they
make sure they know every other
medication that you are taking, so
that something doesn't mix wrong
and you end up killing yourself.
With that said, Owens' claim that
his painkillers mixed wrong with
supplements that he was taking is
something that is not very believable in my mind. He also claimed
to have taken extra painkillers the
night of the incident. Owens is
notorious for monitoring what he
puts in his body. The man doesn't
drink alcohol or smoke anything. He doesn't take anything in
excess, so now he's telling us that
he took a few extra painkillers?
That doesn't follow his personality.
Having a sketchy story to begin
with is one thing, but having
incompetent people around you
is another.
Kim Etheredge, Owens' publicist, is quite possibly the worst
publicist I have ever seen. While
she was fielding questions from
the media on September 27, she
did so many things wrong. She
showed up at the press conference
looking completely haggard. She
wasn't dressed in business attire
and she looked like she had just
woken up in a gutter.
In the communication business, non-verbal communication
is sometimes more important
than the verbal aspects (shout out
to all my Communication professors). Her job is to get people
on Owens' side. Talk about an
impossible job. Her job is to not
make it obvious that she is trying
to get public opinion in her favor,
but she failed to do so. She tried
way too hard to look like she had
been up all night worrying about
her client. It doesn't take very
long to jump in the shower and
dress in business attire. She also
ruined it with two statements that
stuck out in my head.
In the middle of the press conference she said,. "Had this been
someone else, this might not
have happened." She is referring to this circus not even being
a possibility for anyone else in
the league. She couldn't be more
right, because no one else in the
league wants this kind of negative attention. Owens is the only
person in the league who doesn't
care what kind of attention he
gets, just as long as he gets attention. Also, news flash to her, if
Owens wasn't Owens then she
wouldn't have a job.
The second ignorant comment
that she made actually occurred
as she was leaving the press conference when she said, "Terrell
has 25 million reasons why he
should be alive." Reminding the
public how much money Owens
is going to make is not a smart
idea, especially when the average
person can't even fathom what 25
million dollars looks like. Building a further divide like that is
not good public relations.
I really despise the media in
situations like this. I can't stand
E.SPN, because they, along with
the rest of journalists across the
world, created his enormous
ego. "T.O." would still be Terrell Owens, if it weren't for the
media. If it weren't for ESPN,
Owens wouldn't have an audience
for his freak show. The 3 p.m.
PST Sportscenter on September
27 spent nearly the whole hour
talking about him. It's really sad
that ESPN spent pretty much the
same time on Owens that they did
covering the New Orleans Saints
first game back in the Superdome
after Hurricane Katrina.
I hope Terrell Owens and ESPN
run a fly pattern off a building
somewhere.

THE PRIDE
Drift k of the
Week
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
"Scooby-Dooby-Doo, Where Are You? We
got some work to do now. Scooby-Dooby-Doo,
Where Are You? We need some help from you
now," plays in my head as I take the first sip of
my Scooby Snack. The Hanna-Barbera produced cartoon, "Scooby Doo," is the inspiration for this tasty treat: the Scooby Snack cocktail. A smooth mixture of Midori, Malibu Rum,
pineapple juice and whipped cream, the Scooby
Snack is not only a popular choice, but it's the
best tasting cocktail I've ever had.
In the cartoon, Shaggy and Scooby, known
for fending off ghouls and monsters, chow
down on Scooby Snacks—which in the show
are caramel-flavored cookies—all the time. I'm
not sure how such a delicious drink came to be,
and earned the name "Scooby Snack," but it's
only fitting that we celebrate the mystery-loving
spirit inside each of us with the month of Halloween upon us by indulging in the rich and
delectable drink.
Served chilled in a Collins glass, the Scooby
Snack suits just about any occasion. Creamy,
sweet and mouthwatering, the whipped cream
is the icing on the cake for this mixed drink.
A "far out" delight of spectacular measures,
the Scooby Snack fits into the category of what
the cartoon Scooby snacks were described as:
a flavorful, fictional food item of peculiar and
uncertain origin. Minus the fictional aspect, the
Scooby Snack is all of the above.
After doing research on Scooby Snacks, I
discovered that i|ot only are Scooby Snacks a
Beer
trademarked product that Warner Bros, markets
as a brand of dog treats and as a human-friendly
cookie snack, but that Scooby Snack is also slang
for "magic mushrooms" that alter one's state of
consciousness. What does this information have
to do with the irresistible cocktail, you ask?
Well, as it turns out, the name "Scooby Snack"
has been used for dozens of other products and
consumable materials (beverages included) that
are as alluring as they are unexplainable; just
as the taste and my experience of
consuming a Scooby Snack cocktail
was unbelievable, yet simultaneously inexplicable.
If only we knew who created
the mystifying combination of
the yummy elements, then we
might be able
to shed
behind
the
S cooby
Snack
and perhaps thank
its creator.
Until then,
I guess the
Scooby Snack
will remain a
mystery.,.

This week we continue reviewing
Oktoberfest beers with Karl Strauss's
Oktoberfest brew. Karl Strauss Brewery is considered a local microbrewery;
they are widely distributed and can
be found at almost any liquor store or
restaurant in San Diego County and in
many locations in Orange County and
Los Angeles. Karl Strauss also j
owns several "brewery restaurants" J
throughout Southern California, brew- I
ing half a dozen brew beers year
round, and has over a dozen specialty
brews that it produces periodically
through out the year. Brewed only
once a year for Oktoberfest, the Karl
StraussOktoberfestisavailablefrom J
the beginning of September in six
and twelve packs of bottles
and on draught until October.
The beer poured a pale J

beers are stronger and spic- j

than
Karl

isn't as potent as some

While the overall taste is not unpleasant, it's not

Karl Strauss Oktoberfest is stronger and darker than their normal brews
and while it is not as complex or as bold as

Returning students climb same stairs to a different campus
BY SANDRA CHALMERS &
JACKIE CARBAJAL
Although the campus is celebrating its 20th year while some
of its students a re doing the
same, many overlook the f act
that CSUSM is still quite young
in university years. Still, the
CSUSM community is familiar with the changes each new
school year brings. Last year,
CSUSM launched its new and
improved website. In years past,
parking structures opened, bur
colleges offered new majors,
and public transit advanced.
This fall, CSUSM brings both
a new logo and Windows Operating System in addition to a
thirty percent fee increase and
ten percent pay cuts to staff and
faculty.
With the country still tackling an economic recession
and the state of California in a
budget crisis of its own, cuts to
the Cal State University system
forced faculty, s taff, and students to essentially pay more
for less as a means to operate
on a budget drastically cut by
14 Million dollars.
Over the summer, the budget
cuts introduced a new word to
the vocabulary of the campus
community. In what some
s taff, faculty, and even student
workers will come to know as
the new f-word, furloughs are
responsible for the ten percent
pay cut to anyone employed
through the CSU system.
Last T hursday, Aug. 28,
CSUSM President, Karen S.
Haynes addressed staff and
faculty at Fall Convocation, an
event that not only celebrates
the accomplishments of the
past year but also ushers in the
beginning of the new school
year. Though President Haynes
tailored her remarks at the event
to resonate optimism within
the staff and faculty in attendance, drawing on the familiar
line f rom Cesar Chavez, "Si, se
puede!," the uncertainty of the
new academic year is hard to
ignore.
While CSUSM held its Convocation, the California Faculty
Association held its own alternative convocation. Though the
CFA has been fighting the cuts
to the budget over the past year,
as the effects of these cuts take
effect in the months to come,
the faculty association is preparing to fight and be heard
throughout the state.
Furloughs

"As we prepare to welcome

one of access, but one of opportunity denied." Haynes continued to address the problem by

On June 4, 2009, CSUSM students were sent a message via
web mail notifying them that
because of "budget constraints,"
undergraduate registration would
be limited to 13 uriits or less.
Unless the student had priority registration, they would be
unable to take more than 13 units
in the fall semester. For most students, this was not a big problem. The average unit load of
four classes factors to about 12
units. But, those who needed to
take more than 13 units—due to
an impending school transfer, or
graduation requirement—were
l eft high and dry. The e-mail
does contain a link to personally
appeal a case on the Undergraduate Advising Services website,
but it is unknown what criteria is
needed to gain this appeal.
When asked, the majority Of
students at CSUSM had mixed
feelings about the unit limitation.
"I can see why they would need
to do that, to save money," said
senior Anthony Carlson."But at
the same time, if I needed to do
more than 13 units in the spring
to graduate I would be screwed.
Plus I would be paying even more
money to finish it in summer
school!"
Even though the unit cap only
affects a small number of students, this action may signàfìthe
beginning of a number of inconvenient cutbacks by the California State Universities in response
to the state budget crisis. If this
unit cutback turns out to be effective in saving Cai State money,
the CSU system may employ
more unit cutbacks in the future.
As of August 31, 2009 at 9:00
am, CSUSM lifted the 13-unit cap
for the fall semester, citing that
"an audit has revealed a limited
number of openings." But once
these few openings are taken, the
classes that some students need
to take will be full. For many students, the e-mail came too little,
too late. If CStJSM does decide
to use this method in the future,
returning students can at least
kncrtv what to expect in terms of
class availability for the upcoming semesters.

"Cash for Clunkers"
The
U.S.
administration
announced a $1 billion Car
Allowance Rebate System in an
attempt to not only help boost
the economy but also encourage
American consumers to trade in
their less fuel-efficient for more
eco-friendly alternatives. Due
to the high demand, Congress
approved a $2 billion extension
after the original funding was
exhausted by July 31, 2009. The
original end date for the program,
November 1, 2009, was cut short
when the "Cash for Clunkers"
allowance was officially depleted
on August 24,2009. According to

j i s reading T he Pride!!!! :D

v"
' t J M S t S ' is laying out the first issue of the semester! about 1 day ago.
H ome
j a c k i e c a r b a j a l I 'm back for one more semester (I mean it this time) and am returning
as editor-in-chief. I am a Literature and Writing Studies major with a writing emphasis and
will be applying to grad school to pursue a Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing.
When I am not on campus, I am likely working my other job as a legal assistant for a law firm
in Carlsbad. I enjoy cartoons (currently watching "The Chipmunks Adventure"), NPR, and
fishing (for compliments, not fish). I come from a big family so noise doesn't bother me, t
am always willing to offer advice or a helping hand, and I love to laugh.
s a i K l r a _ c h a i m e r $ Hello! My name is Sandra Chalmers and I am the new Arts and
Entertainment Editor! I am a Communications and Mass Media major. Trader Joe's makes
me happy and iced coffee has become my drug of choice. I love live music and enjoy all
mediums of art. I am completely fueled by creativity. I would choose a foreign film over the
next Jennifer Aniston chick flick and sometimes I am always late to class.
a m y _ s a l i s b u r y My name is Amy and I'm the Copy Editor. You've probably seen me with
this huge, Brazilian bag I lug around that might be embarrassing if it had j ust one l ess color
on it. I'm an odd 20 year-old known best for my astounding ability to go against the flow. I
get offended when my favorite bands come on only to serve as background noise. I like to
think people derive benefit from what I say about music. I like Ferlinghetti, philosophy, cats
and cosmology. I love a good concert. I'm terrible at leaving voicemaiis, and 1 think people
tell more about themselves by what they hide than what they expose.
m a t t J e w i s Hi, t'm Matt. A lot of people confuse me with the multitudes of other Matt's
that go to school here. I guess it would be easier if I said my last name paired with my first
name all the time, but then again, that would be weird. I am a senior at CSUSM and will be
the editor for Faces & Places this semester. I enjoy Rollerbiading, or "Fruitbooting'' as many
like to say. Most people think I mean fitness skating on the boardwalk with spandex, and I
always have to explain to them, MNo, like on rails and stairs and stuffy I like the ocean and I
like eating tacos. if you're looking for a good taco place 1 would say go to Qscar's on Rancho
Santa Fe drive in Vi$ta, about 10 minutes away from school. I'm sure you can find the ocean
on your own though.
k r i s t i n a J a w l e r My name is Kristina Lawler (soon to be Martinez as of October 3, 2009)
I am youfBusiness Manager for The Pride. I am twenty-three years old. I am going into
my final year at Cal State San Marcos and have loved every minute of going here. I am
majoring in Business Administration emphasis Marketing. I work at Starbucks and love it.
I love Disneyland, learning new things, random talks, and traveling. I have a Westie named
Harrison and he rocks my socks literally and another Westie named Sampson who is my old
man that I rescued. I'm a Leo and extremely compassionate, l am a fuH believer in second
chances and karma. Wanna know more? Just ask.
r u d y _ m a r t i n e z I usually have Kristina write this up for me, but I figured I'd give this a shot
this time. My name is Rudy Martinez and this is my fifth semester as a Layout Editor for The
Pride, so if I mess something up, sorry. This is my final yeaiL(hopefyily) here at CSUSM and
HI be walking in the Spring. I'm getting married on October 3rd to Kristina Lawler. I'm stoked.
You'll most likely spot me wearing a shirt with a cupcake and crossbones (johnny Cupcakes)
around campus.

In the fall, Sundays mean football to
some. To others, t he ABC combo, "Desperate Housewives" and "Brothers and
Sisters," comes to mind. Fans of the shows
have to wait until Sept. 27 for the premieres, though their returns should prove
worth the wait. In the season premiere of
"Housewives," viewers will finally know
the answer to the season 5 cliffhanger; who
does Mike marry, his ex-wife and baby
momma, Susan, or current girlfriend, Katherine? The new season should also prove
entertaining as the other housewives surely
mm mm m

have their own melodramas to play out
and, per usual, a new family moves in.
The "Brothers and Sisters" season four
premiere will see more of the newest
addition to^the Walker family, the illegitimate son, Ryan, who, for those of us
who tuned in last season, will remember, his intentions weren't exactly genuine. The .divorced single oldest sister,
Sarah, will finally get some action and
we'll see how Kitty and Roberts rocky
marriage makes it through Robert's run
for governor.

Want something to gossip about?
Gossip Girl returns this fall on the CW
on Mondays at 9pm, a step up from their
previous 8 o'clock spot. Going into it's
third season, this show has definitely
turned into a must-see. Watch out,
Manhattan, these kids are grown up
now and off to college. What will that
mean for our favorite characters? If it's
anything like the last seasons, lots more
drama and exciting new storylines. It
will be hard to top last season's twists
and turns, but with Chuck Bass and
Blair Waldorf finally attempting a relationship, who knows what will happen.
I know I will be tuning in on September
14tb to find out and so should you.
"Dancing with the Stars" could very
likely overshadow the entertainment
gems that Mondays o ffer this fall.
Though "House" by now should have
a strong enough following to weather
out the rumba/jive combos of D-list
celebrities, "Heroes" has something to
prove considering the rapid decline its
ratings have been on since season one.
"How I Met Your Mother" and "Big
Bang Theory" are honorable mentions,
as both these shows are not only funrfy,
but their earlier seasons are available on
box sets for quite reasonable prices.

They say Tuesday h as become the

going to n eed t wice the e ntertainment a fter your long T-day g rind.
But i nstead of t raditional t rash TV,
why not go f or a show where a guy
eats t rash? A s pin o ff of t he p opular f reak show " Bizarre F oods," the
p opular c hef/host now embarks on
j ourneys a round the world t o explore
c ultural r ituals and p henomena.
With shows that range from "The Simpsons" and "Arrested
Development" to "Joe Millionaire" and "Melrose Place," the
upcoming dramedy (comedy/drama) "Glee" is a hit or miss this
fall. With season one's first episode premiering on Wednesday,
Sept. 9, 2009, viewers have enough time to give this show a
fair chance before missing out on other Wednesday premieres
such as the CW's "The Beautiful Life" the following week and
ABC's "Cougar Town" two weeks out. "Glee" made its debut
this past spring, premiering its pilot episode following the
"American Idol" finale to mixed critical reviews though it did
pull in an impressive 10 million viewers. The new series follows a high school choir but hints at a darker story line that
could prove an edgy result that is already being referred to as
a mix between "High School Musical" and "Gray's Anatomy."
Interesting...
Thursdays this fall, "Twilight" fans have another option when
satiating their undead desires. "The Vampire Diaries" premiers
on the CW on Sept. 10 at 8pm. "DeGrassi" actress Nina Dobrev
stars as the innocent Elena Gilbert caught between two vampire
brothers, Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder, thirsty for blood.
With stars from "Juno," "Smallville," "17 Again," and "Lost/'
critics anticipate the show to be another CW hit. Based on a
series of books by L. J. Smith, "The Vampire Diaries" prdmises
drama and despair on par with CW's other series.

CSU executive salary increases to be proposed
C hancellor R eed t o p ropose e xecutive s alary i ncreases t o C S U B oard of T rustees
BY BEN ROFFEE
Pride Staff Writer
In an effort to close staff salary lag in
the Cal State University system, the Board
of Trustees will meet today, Sept. 18, to
hear a proposal f rom Chancellor Reed that
would increase executive salaries by 11%
for the 2007-2008 academic year..
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

Cross country at
Aztec Invitational

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.

Over the past few weeks here at Cal

with foreign symbols decorate virtually
all public areas and every day you can
find fraternities and sororities tabling in
the library plaza, all trying to get students informed and involved in Greek

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

in which all of the Sororities and Fraternities on campus plan to host events
designed to introduce students to their

whole. It is the policy of CSUSM that

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,

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.

Lawler was the O Team.
"I did something similar to

No matter how each student

students, that is definitely something to smile about. " That's

The best way to feel comfortable in a new surrounding

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.

�"Bridging the Gap'
Arts and Lectures program
brings urban performance artist
BY SHIRLEY BARAJAS
Pride Staff Writer
On Wednesday Sept. 12, the
Arts and Lectures program at
Gal State San Marcos presented
"Bridging the Gap." 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.

Yewande Austin involves the audience in her performance at the "Bridging the Gap" event held on Sept. 12.
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.
"The best part of my j ob is the
connections I have with people,
and being able to be a part of the
world of knowledge."

exactly how she did it, but
Yewande Austin made most of
the audience leave with a sense of
power and knowledge. 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.

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?

Summer nights on campus are soon to be over, here's one last good look at Craven Hall at sunset.
ASI is a student run auxiliary
which acts as the voice of the
student body. As the students'
advocate, ASI creates opportunities for student engagement such
as concerts, festivals, intramural
sports and other activities that
students request for their enjoyment and betterment. Currently,
there are five competitive club
sport programs which include
men and women's soccer, volleyball and two co-ed surf teams,
but there are many more recreational activities offered to students; such as skiing and snowboarding, kayaking trips, paintASI, SEE page 2
To avoid registration holds,
new CSUSM students born after
Jan. 1,1957 have one semester to
demonstrate proof of immunization for Measles and Rubella.
The student should submit
medical documentation proving immunization. Documentation can include a physician's
verification of immunizations
records or a copy of a laboratory blood test proving immunity to Measles and Rubella.
Immunization must have taken
place after Jan. 1, 1968 or after
the student's first birthday.
First time students who are 18
or younger on Aug. 1 of their
entering academic year must
also present proof of full immunization, against Hepatitis B.
For those who cannot provide proof of immunization
for Measles and Rubella and/
or Hepatitis B, an appointment can be made with Student
Health and Counseling Services
to receive the MMR vaccination free of charge. The vaccination for Hepatitis B, on the
other hand, involves a small fee.
Walk-in clinic dates for MMR
and Hepatitis B are Aug. 28
through Sept. 1, Monday
through Friday; Sept. 5 through
8, Tuesday through Friday;
Sept. 18 through 22, Monday
through Friday; Oct. 2 through
6, Monday through Friday; and
Oct. 16 through 20, Monday
through Friday. Times are 9 a.m.
to 11 a m. and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. for
all dates. An appointment may
also be made for an MMR titer
blood test to check immunity
levels for Measles and Rubella.
Students are advised to have
a student identification card
handy when visiting. Student
Health and Counseling Services also requests that childcare arrangements be made
prior to the student's visit. Fees
can be settled using cash, check,
ATM, Visa or Master card.

fic to direct off campus. On the
first day of school, Kyle spent
eight hours of his twelve hour
shift directing traffic. Campus
police officers will direct the
traffic in pairs of two until Kyle
said, "as long as traffic maintains a public safety issue." Traffic doesn't look like it will let up
any time soon, especially with
an increased amount of students
leaving campus during university
hour.
Our campus isn't equipped with
tunnels and bridges, and with the
volume of people driving out of
parking lot F each afternoon and
walking to their cars, Kyle says
he doesn't see an end to the officer directed crosswalk until new
technology is built. "If we had a
traffic light or a bridge, we'd get a
chance to reduce our staffing."
Currently we have ten CSOs
working on campus. The university police department hopes to
gain at least four more students.
Matt Curran and Evelyn Henriquez are two student CSOs who
were on patrol in their vehicle on
Friday afternoon. Curran, a CSO
supervisor, also works in the University Village Apartments. In
the past he has found a lost child
and has interfered when two
people attempted to break into a
car on campus.
He and.other CSOs are willing and ready anytime to escort
students on and around campus.
"Many people don't know about
it but we can escort them from
the main campus to the Ralph's
shopping center and Barham
Apartments."
Henriquez is a criminal justice
major who has just finished her
training. As student enrollment
increases, the CSOs increase their
squad by one officer each year.
Our university has an impeccable
safety record and a lot of credit
can be given to our student officers. Kyle says, "They play a crucial role in our policing."
CSO shifts are from eight in
the morning to midnight. After
midnight, campus police patrol
the campus. And without a
bridge, tunnel or stoplight, we'll
be seeing a lot of them on campus
during yet another transitional
time.
At the campus police dispatch
at 441 La Moree Road in San
Marcos, they are currently and
continually seeking students to
fill out applications for the Community Service Officer position.
A background check similar to
those that police officers undergo
is required.

anything else. He told me what to expect
from other professors and helped me to
create a bridge to them."
Joshua Walter Lovelace, a graduate student in math, was completely inspired by
Dr. Radhika Ramamurthi after taking her
Algebra Graph Theory course. Through
her energetic and passionate character,
Lovelace could see from the beginning that
she was concerned about student's learning. Even as a math major, Lovelace says,
"I went into it feeling as if it were impossible. She helped me believe in myself, that
I could do this."
Pamela Castillo, a literature major,
couldn't just choose one. "I've been fortunate enough to have several professors
that stand out, including Professor Price,
Professor Newman, and Dr. Yuan Yuan.
The faculty mentor program stands out
the most for me. Lisa Bandong has been
a wonderful friend and inspiration along
with my mentor, Dr. Salah Moukhlis."
Jesse Taylor, a computer science major,
has seen students give up while taking
introductory courses in computer programming. "Either the professor didn't
know how to teach or they just weren't
enthusiastic about it." Professor Ahmad

Hadaegh changed Taylor's outlook for
good. "Not only is he knowledgeable in
what he teaches, but he makes it fun and
interesting. And he's hilarious. He reassured me that programming is what I want
to do with my life."
Brittany Smith was doubtful whether
she was going to become an accounting
major until she had Dr. Mary Ceim for
financial and managerial accounting. Brittany says, "She was the most challenging
professor I've ever had and that motivated
me to meet that challenge." Smith spent
the summer working for Sempra Energy
through an internship and is happy about
her career choice.
With so many obstacles and doubts a
college student can face day to day, we are
fortunate to have a supporting staff to help
ease any worries or concerns, or even to
say "you can do this" without having to
say it at all.
Hector Navarrete, a criminal justice
major, aims to join the Sheriff Academy

point when Navarrete wasn't sure what to

The Cal State SanMarcos
soccer teams have jumped out
to a great start after losing their
season openers. The men's team
is currently two and one while
the women's team is one and two
to begin their respective seasons.
Behind the early success of both
teams appears to be head coach
Ron Pulvers.
Leadership, organization, and administration skills
were instilled early in coach Pul-
and was assisted by freshman
Angela Matera.
The highlight for the men's
team thus far has been the signs of
cohesiveness and consistency.

win the division. From the NFC
North expect the Chicago Bears
to take the division for a second
straight year. The NFC South will
be won by the Carolina Panthers
and the NFC West will go to the
Seattle Seahawks. The two Wild
Card spots will be taken by the
Dallas Cowboys and the Arizona
Cardinals.
The thing everyone wants to
know is who will play in the super
bowl. Here's a match-up for you to
take to Vegas. The Dolphins and
Panthers will be playing in the big
game.
The Panthers are without a
doubt the favorite from the NFC.
The Jake Delhomme to Steve
Smith combination is amazing.
DeShaun Foster finally gets the
starting running back job. Even
if Foster isn't healthy throughout
the season they drafted exceptionally well by grabbing DeAngelo
Williams and have another great
backup in Nick Goings. They also
Eli Manning and the New York
Giants face Peyton Manning and

The Kansas City Chiefs and
Denver Broncos play in one game,
the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and
Dallas Cowboys play in another
and in the stinker of the three
the Miami Dolphins and Detroit

As far as playoff teams, the following are my picks. From the
AFC East the Dolphins will win
the division. In the AFC North
the Bengals will take it. The AFC
South will go to the Colts and the
AFC West will be won by the
Chiefs. The two AFC Wild Card

signed Keyshawn Johnson as a
great short field option. Not to
mention, Julius Peppers is a beast
on the defensive side.
The Dolphins is probably a pick
that will raise some eyebrows,
but hear me out on this one. The
Dolphins got Daunte Culpepper
in the off-season. They already
have a top deep threat wide
receiver in Chris Chambers. Culpepper can throw a great deep
ball as evidenced by his relationship with Randy Moss. They
also have a top running back in
Ronnie Brown to balance the
offense. The 'Fins won six in a

into this season. They also only
have six games against playoff
teams from last season.

ald's drive-thru, and the $55 shelled out
for two drinks, a soda, an appetizer, and
two meals was not terrible but hurt the
wallet a little more than I liked. With an
ASI discount card on the way, this small
irritation can be alleviated.
On Grappa's website I found out that
Grappa offers a lunch special for $10.95
that includes soup or salad, pasta of the
day and a soda, guaranteed to be served
within 30 minutes or the meal is free.
I suggest that the next opportunity
you have to take fellow classmates, that
special person that you keep winking at
during class, or maybe even the professor
who is flunking you to Grappa for some
lunch or maybe after school to check out
their Happy Hour from 4-7 p.m. everyday.
Divertisi! Visit http://www.grappacalifornia.com/index.html.
