remains on course to win
R ecycleMania for sixth y ear in a row
BY JAMES ROCHE
Pride Staff Writer
Cal State San Marcos is currently set to win its sixth title in
as many years in the international
recycling competition RecycleMania.
CSUSM leads this year's competition, which finishes on March
27, since week one, according
to Carl Hanson, an Administrative Analyst at CSUSM. "We're
doing well/' said Hanson, coordinator for the recycling campaign.
"We started out in the lead and
the lead has shrunk a little bit but
were still up by good seven, seven
and a half points, and we're hopeful that we'll continue to do well
enough to come in ahead."

The results of the competition
are announced in mid-April, once
all the participants have sent in
their data, according to recyclemania.org.
Universities and colleges compete against each other over a
10-week period to see which
has the best recycling program.
RecycleMania ranks participants
according to which category they
entef. These categories include
most recyclables per capita, the
highest amount of recyclables, the
least amount of trash per capita,

recycling rate. For more information about the event go to www.
recyclemania.org.
CSUSM enters the highest recycle rate category and holds the title
of Grand Champion for the past
five years in a row.
Hanson said the reason he feels
the campus has done so well over
the years is down to good planning. "First of all, when this university was established, we began
the recycling program at the same
time. So when everybody got their
trash containers they got blue
ones. So from the very beginning
in the offices and the classrooms
everybody saw that you can recycle and it was just a given.
"It was like putting your seatbelt on. You just do it," Hanson
saidv
Recycle bins are located all over
the campus and are placed next to
trash containers. They are color
coded and labeled to avoid confusion between the twoT
Support has also been an

ASI makes safety a priority for Spring Break fun
BY MALLANE DRESSEL
Pride Staff Writer
Arts & Entertainment
3 D Experience
On Thursday, March 18 during
U-Hour, ASI held an event to promote the concept that students
can have fun during spring break
while still keeping their safety in
mind. Booths supplied information about alcohol consumption,
sexual protection, transportation,
and activities associated with
spring break.
At the event the mock-tails of
Screwdrivers, and Shirley Temples, gave the students not only
a refreshment to enjoy with their
Chick-Fil-A but informative facts
about alcohol's effects on the
body. Students who pledged not
to drink and drive during spring
break received free chicken sandwiches. Those who pledged also
wore a bracelet, showing other
students through out the day that
they had made the pledge.
When student Stevie Perez was
asked about the pledge he made,
he said, "It's a great reminder. I
will keep the pledge bracelet on to
remind me not to drink and drive,
and to remember to not let my
own friends drink and drive."
At the mock-tail booth, volunteers supplied pamphlets on
alcohol poisoning, and information about designated drivers. The
booth also promoted the RADD
program, where designated drivers supplying the pledge card with
the RADD logo would receive
free non-alcoholic beverages at
the 23 participating bars in the
Pacific Beach and Mission Beach
area.
If students are staying local,
the event promoted the Breeze
Sprinter as a transportation alternative to driving. The Sprinter can
transport drinking students safely
to the popular areas by the beach,
Carlsbad, and Oceanside. Unfortunately, the Sprinter's last pick
up from Oceanside is an early

Chatroulette will replace
BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
I have a strong feeling Chatroulette will
be the next big social
networking
website. The site, found
at
chatroulette.com,
incorporates one-onone instant messaging and video chat in a new way
that could re-revolutionize online
interaction.
Chatroulette, which launched
in late 2009, is now generating
high traffic in the US and around
the world, according to the tracking company Alexa. I think part
of this newfound interest can be
attributed to the press it received
about the some users exploit the
video feature for sexual purposes.
The website could easily launch
itself among the ranks of Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace by
changing its anonymous, instant
action set up t o a site that requires
users to create ,a profile, like the
aforementioned network sites.
This addition of profiles would
have two radical consequences.
First, it would allow users to
stay connected and chat with
friends, similar to Skype or
AIM, but still let them meet new
people, who could be àdded as
friends. This would result in a
personal touch for
users to enjoy.
Second, it would
decrease the amount
of sexual deviants that
lurk the website. Website moderators could
ban and block profiles of users who act
explicitly and expose
themselves on camera.
I have estimated it is roughly
ten percent of users who do
explicit acts to give the website a
bad reputation, and if moderators
eliminated them, Chatroulette
would flourish. Facebook and
Twitter
and Facebook
MySpace have already proven
that people enjoy staying connected with friends using profile
systems.
By also allowing users to connect with strangers, Chatroulette
could be part of the movement
that earned the Internet a nomination for the Noble Peace Prize,
The committee cited the openness of Internet communication
around the world has allowed for
ideas to be shared in a way that
could bring global unity.
Since using Chatroulette, I
have met people f rom Sweden,
Korea, South A frica, and China,
j ust to n ame a few countries.
This experience humanizes
people f rom d ifferent countries,
and it reemphasizes the sentiment that we are not that different, despite what country we live
in.
Lastly, I have a hunch that
Facebook w ill soon have a similar video interaction feature.
Facebook, which managed to
keep Twitter f rom overtaking it
by the changing t he the set up
f or status u pdates, might add a
Chatroulette-clone f eature as
a application. Either way, the
global implications a re exciting.

The competition started in 2001
with just two schools, Ohio University and Miami University, and
it now covers over 600^schools,
including international participants in Canada and Qatar. The
growth of RecycleMania can be
further illustrated since such large
corporations as Coca Cola now
sponsor it.
CSUSM also recycles construction materials like metals,
tiles and wood as well as green
waste and hazardous waste like
lamps. The next step for the
university is to create a composting program to deal with
the food service areas. This
extra work will not affect the
results of the competition, said
Hanson.
Many students at the event
believed that the purpose of the
event, safety while having fun,
was great to have right before
spring break, but some students
thought that the purpose of the
event was not being fully repre-
sented.
Student Akeisa Abercrombie
commented about how influential the event was actually on students. "They are giving awareness, it's not enough, but at least
they're taking the initiative to help
people make smart decisions."
The event may not be enough
to guarantee that every student
will have a safe Spring Break,
but it definitely was presented to
enough students to make a difference.
House of Representatives approves sweeping health care overhaul
BY BEN ROFFEE
News Editor
A year long debate on health
care in America has come to an
end as House Democrats passed
legislation this last weekend
to fundamentally overhaul the
nation's health care system in the
coming decades. President Obama
is expected to sign the legislation
on Tuesday, marking the end
of a drawn out and polarizing
public debate that has divided
Republicans and Democrats
across the country. The overhaul
is expected to provide coverage to
32 million uninsured Americans
by 2019.
The reform legislation is
comprised of two separate bills,
the Health Care and Education
Affordability Reconciliation Act
of 2010 (H.R. 4872) and the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care
Act (H.R. 3950). Both bills passed
with a vote of 219-212, a narrow
victory buoyed by a majority
coalition of House Democrats.
The
House
Republicans
unanimously
opposed
the
legislation, an indicator of a
lasting partisan divide on the
issue that has come to dominate
the debate.
To secure support from
wavering Democrats, advocates of
the legislation were forced to make
some key concessions, abandoning
ambitions for a governmentrun insurance program and
prohibiting the use of federal
funds for abortions. Republicans
unanimously
opposed
the
legislation, indicating the partisan
nature of the health care overhaul
debate.
Under the new legislation,
Insurance
companies
will
no longer be allowed to deny
coverage to individuals based
on pre-existing conditions and
will eventually be barred from
charging higher premiums or
canceling services for these
individuals. The overhaul also
also includes requirements for
workers to insure their employees
and citizens to obtain insurance,
instituting steep fines for failures
to comply.
LastThursdaytheCongressional
Budget Office (CBO) placed
the cost of the overhaul at $940
billion in the first ten years, with
a $138 billion reduction in
the deficit during that
time. The CBO
also projected
a
potential
reduction of the
deficit by as much as one
half percent of the GDP in
the subsequent decade.
President Obama

Solidarity vs. Ignorance:
Uniting Against Anti-Indian Assignments at CSUSM
commented on the passage of
the reforms, saying, "Congress
finally declared that America's
workers, America's families,
and America's small businesses
deserve the security of knowing
that here in this country, neither
illness nor accident should
endanger the dreams they've
worked a lifetime to achieve."
House Minority leader,
Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio),
expressed his frustration with
the bill just before it went
to a vote, saying, "In
this
economy,
with
this,
unemployment,
with our desperate
for jobs and
economic growth, is this
really the time to raise
taxes, create bureaucracies
and, and burden every job
creator in our land? The
answer is no."

Foolproof foundations for easier packing a nd travel
BY AMY SALISBURY
Editor-in-Chief
Luggage can make or break a trip.
Most major airlines charge a fee to
check only one bag. Public transportation is a potential nightmare when
you're lugging 50 extra pounds of
stuff around with you. "Backpackfag" is redefined when your pack is
too big to carry on your back. With
some planning and paring down,
your pack and mood will improve.
The first failure of persistent
over-packers is that they do not plan
ahead. Making lists isn't just for
the obsessive compulsive anymore.
Lists help you prioritize what items
__
you need verses what items
are most
used.
Student Katie Freligh combats
common problems when she packs
her bags.
"I always want to pack too much,"
Frelighsaid, "because I never know
what to packjust to cover the basics."
Think about the type of trip you're
planning and pack for it. For example, most hotels have blow dryers,
saving you the extra five pounds of
weight a blow dryer would add. Opt
for versatile casual shoes or sneakers
instead of shoes for every occasion.
Do you need that giant North Face
coat? Pack your warmest sweatshirt
and sacrifice some shivers.
Remember to consider whether
you will have access to laundry
services or Laundromats. Besides
remembering to pack plenty of quarters, think about the number of each
item you should bring. Instead of
three jeans and two shorts, pack one
pair of each, and alternate your items
until you get a chance to wash your
clothes.
Senior Shannon Brogan suggested
an alternative to the traditional trifold for clothes.
"Roll your shirts and pants, and sit
on [the bag] if you have to," she said,
"I'm pretty good;at getting everything in a carry-on."
The kind of bag you use is as
important as what goes in it Doug
Dyment, "The Go Light Guru,"
offers three aspects to take into
account when choosing luggage:
quality, transportability, and airline
carry-on limits.
Dyment said, "you want a bag
that's no laiger than carry-on
size with soft sides and sturdy construction.
"Soft-sided luggage is much to be
preferred over the hard^shelled variety. Hard bags are heavier and do
not cope with therigorsof extended
travel nearly as well as their more
yielding counterparts."
If you are flying and decide to
carry on, remember to check your
airline's prohibited list Adhering to
the rules will ensure a quicker checkin and help avoid being forced to
throw anything out because it violates the Transportation Security
Administration's rules.
Buyiiig travel-size shampoos or
lotions will also lighten up the weight
ofyour luggage.
The TSA allows most items they
deem hazardous in checked bags.
Their website, tsa.gov, offers a downloadable PDF for quick reference.
For the truly impaired, Mats Henricson created the Universal Packing List, an interactive, user-friendly
list customizable to the individual's
travel needs. Find the UPL at http'J/

The constant concern over
traveling abroad for students
becomes a growing worry as
spring break gets closer and students brainstorm great travel
plans.
Nearest to CSUSM, Mexico is
a popular travel destination with
cheaper hotel costs than other
vacation spots and is known
for a high tolerance of underage drinking, great beaches and
fun activities. Although a spring
break get-a-away to Mexico
sounds like the perfect adventure, this popular student vacation spot is also known for dangerous drug activity and caution
must be taken when traveling
aboard.
The U.S State Department,
Bureau of Consular Affairs
have issued a recent travel alert
expressing that a number of
locations along the U.S Mexico
border are experiencing rapid
growth in the rates of robberies,
homicides, carjackings and petty
of our local theme parks. Students
can head to SeaWorld or the Wild
Animal Park for a day of fun with
friends.
The Wild Animal Park offers a

thefts, notably in Tijuana and
northern Baja California within
the last year.
"Mexican drug cartels are
engaged in violent conflict, both
among themselves and with
Mexican security services, for
control of narcotics trafficking
routes along the U.S.-Mexico
border. To combat violence,
the government of Mexico
has deployed military troops
throughout the country. U.S.
citizens should cooperate fully
with official checkpoints when
traveling on Mexican highways,1" said the travel alert.
"Common-sense precautions
such as visiting only legitimate business and tourist areas
during daylight hours, and avoiding areas where prostitution and
drug dealing might occur, can
help ensure that travel to Mexico
is safe and enjoyable," continued
the advisory.
More safety tips for traveling
include always taking the main
roads and traveling during the
daylight hours, travel in a group,
do not travel alone, and never dis-
play expensive watches, purses or
even jewelry as these items can
viewed as easy targets for crimes.
Another precaution when traveling is to check with your cellular provider for international
cell phone reception and service.
Many carriers offer this service
for a limited amount of days, not
a long-term contract, and for a
sensible price. For convenience
and safety, a cell phone can be
used in case of an emergency.
U.S citizens can contact the nearest U.S consulates or the U.S
Embassy in case of any trouble.
Contact numbers are listed on the
travel.state.gov website.

Baseball
wins
double-header,
completes three game-sweep of C SULA
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
Strong, timely hitting and
resilient pitching were keys for
Cougar baseball on Saturday,
as the squad took both ends of a
double-header at Cai State Los
Angeles, 10-8 in game one and
9-4 in game two.
CSUSM completes the threegame road sweep of the Golden
Eagles, members of NCAA Division II and the CCAA Conference. The Cougars improve to
17-7 this season, while CSULA
drops to 12-13.
In game one, the Cougars got
down early, battled back to take
a commanding lead, then held
on for dear life at thè end. Starting pitcher Travis McCracken
gave another strong effort, allowing four runs in six innings
of work. All those runs were
scored in the third inning, and
McCracken was able to bounce
back and shut out CSULA for
the rest of his outing. The win
improves him to 5-1 this season.
A Matt Jenkins solo home run
put CSUSM up 1-0, but the team
found itself down 4-1 after CSULA's big third inning. The Cou-
gars would cut into that lead in
the fourth and fifth innings, with
Mike Pena driving in Josh Miller
in the former, and Miller driving
in Kevin Silvett in the latter.
CSUSM's patience at the
plate played a huge role in the
win. The Cougars drew 11 walks
in the contest, and they played
a key role in a six-run sixth
inning that ultimately decided
the game. Pena and Omar Manzanarez led off the frame by
drawing walks, and Ricardo
Moran drove in the inning's first
run with a base hit. Secciani, Silvett, and Miller all walked, pushing home two more runs, and a
Ryle Parks base hit brought two
more runs home. Finally, Pena
earned his second walk to extend
the inning, and an error pushed
the Cougar lead to 9-4.
CSUSM stayed patient in the
seventh, as Moran, Secciani,
Silvett, and Miller were walked
in order to lead of the inning,
making it 10-4.
The Cougars got a taste of
their own medicine in the eighth;
however, as the bullpen walked
three men to start the inning and
CSULA took advantage, scoring
four runs to cut it to 10-8. But
closer Spencer Pardon was able
to work out of it, getting all three
outs in the eighth and working a
relatively easy ninth to pick up
the save.
Game two would play out
much the same way, minus the
late comeback attempt by the
Golden Eagles.
Starting pitcher Johnny Holtman earned his first win of the
year, striking out two and walking none in four innings of
work. He gave up four runs in the
third inning, but like McCracken,
was flawless in the rest of his
work.
Silvett got things started for
CSUSM in the first, belting a solo
home run to, but once again the
Cougar offense didn't really kick
in until they were down 4-1.
In the top of the fourth, Johnny
Omahen singled in Mitch Ferguson to make it 4-2, and the
Cougars would go on to take
their first lead the following
inning. Moran led off the fifth
with a single, and with two outs,
Miller reached on an error, and
Parks made the defense pay with
a huge three-run home run to put
his team up 5-4.
After reliever Ricky Chavarria worked a 1-2-3 bottom
of the inning, Miller. doubled
home Secciani to put CSUSM
up 6-4. CSULA threatened in
the bottom of the sixth, putting
two on with no outs, but Julienne
entered the game and put out
the fire, inducing a double-play
and fly out to get out of the jam
unscathed.
In the top of the seventh and
final inning, the Cougar offense
put it out of reach. Ferguson and
Omahen led off with singles, and
after a failed sacrifice bunt, Manzanarez drew a walk to load the
bases for Moran. Moran would
put the cherry on top of what has
been a brilliant series at the plate
for virtually the entire Cougar
lineup, ripping a triple down the
right field line to clear the bases.
Julienne struck out the side in
the seventh to earn his first save
of the season, secure the 9-4 win,
and finish off the huge sweep.
The Cougars are off to a great
start to their tour of the CCAA
conference, but things won't get
easier at #2 UC San Diego on the
road on Monday at 2:00 PM.

Cougar Softball cruises to So-Cal sweep
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
Brenna Sandberg's 19 strikeouts highlighted a pair of dominating wins for #20 Cougar softball at the Sun West Tournament
on Thursday. CSUSM defeated
Kenyon College 11-0, then the U.
of Puget Sound 10-1.
The wins push CSUSM's
win streak to 8 games, and
improve the team to 16-6 this
season. Sandberg improves to
15-3 this season.
Against Kenyon, the Cougar
offense powered the team to
three runs in the first, one in
the second, two in the third, and
finallyfivein the fifth to close the
game out via the mercy rule.
Shanti Poston led all batters with
three hits, and teammates Elizabeth Bush, Alicia Ingram, Alyssa
Dronenburg, and Erica Coelho all
tallied a pair of hits. Coelho and
Lauren Nelson drove in two runs
each in what was a very balanced
effort at the plate.
On the mound, Sandberg
cruised to the victory, tossing
four innings of three-hit, zerowalk shutout ball. She struck out
five hitters before Ciera Ashman
came in to close out the game.
It was much of the same in the
second half of the double-header,
as CSUSM jumped out to a 6-0
lead in the second and never
looked back. Ingram, the speedster, and power-hitting Dronenburg led the way, with the former
going 4-for-4 with J runs and 2
RBI, and the latter going 3-for-5
with her ninth home run of the
season and 5 RBI.
Sandberg survived a seasonhigh 7 walks by striking out a
season-high 14 in six innings of
work. She allowed just three hits
and one run before giving way to
Chanel Rose, who threw a perfect
seventh to cap the victory.
CSUSM will continue play at
the Sun West Tournament on Saturday when they face St. Mary's
and host school Chapman.

up paying $5 or more per gallon smooth and easy, with no quick
accelerations or stops. The DMV
stated that "the faster you accelerate, the more gas you gorge."
A driver should pay close attention to the flow of traffic and anticipate how much to accelerate.
Although it maybe getting hotter outside, drivers should think
twice before turning on the AC,
because when in use, it increases
gas consumption by 10 percent.
Also, looking to roll down the
windows to deal with the heat can
actually be even worse than using
the AC. According to the DMV,
once a vehicle is going over 55
mph, the wind drag decreases
fuel efficiency more than the AC.
The vehicle's maintenance
greatly affects fuel efficiency. A
certified mechanic stated that cor-.
rect tire pressure is essential for
fuel efficiency, because the loss
of 10 pounds of pressure equals
a three to four percent drop in efficiency, Neglecting regular factory maintenance, such as oil and
fuel filter changes, can also decrease efficiency up to 20 percent.
How, when and where drivers gas up can greatly affect their
ability to get the best usage and
price for gas. Surprisingly, the
early morning or nighttime hours
are better times tofillthe tank because in cooler temperatures, gas
is denser. This allows drivers to get
more "bang for their buck" since
gas stations measure by volume.
The driver can also get the
most out of their gas money by
scouting out the cheapest gas prices. AAA's free iPhone application
and the Gas Buddy website both
allow drivers to find the closest,
cheapest gas stations in their area.

Luckily, San Diego's beaches are
not far from San Marcos, though
none can compare to Rarotonga's picturesque coastline.
With a newly acquired taste for
fresh coconut milk, and the dis-
covery of enjoyment in relaxing
in town barefoot, Rarotonga inspired me. Delving into the culture
and being a part of a royal wedding made me realize how truly
fortunate I have been to see such
interesting and beautiful sights.

LEXI POLLARD
PRIDE STAFF W RITER
Never in my wildest traveling
dreams did I imagine a weeklong trip to an island with a circumference of only 20 miles.
This island, Rarotonga, captured my interest with not only
its unique name but with its intriguing culture and landscape.
Located in the Central-Southern Pacific Ocean, Rarotonga is an
archipelago in the Cook Islands.
My family and I happened to be
on this remote island through an
invitation to a special event: a
wedding between my second
cousin and the princess of Rarotonga. In November of 2002, my
pre-teen American self met the
laid-back nature of Rarotonga.
Upon landing on the island, I
thought the landscape to be similar to New Zealand with tropical
trees and views of a crystal clear
ocean. However, a tour in a Ze-
bra-striped painted van proved
me wrong. Green, luscious plantations covered the island, and I
couldn't help but notice the locals walking along the side of
the road. Every casually dressed
Rarotongan lacked the same article of clothing: shoes. Later, I realized the barefoot trend revealed
the island's relaxed atmosphere.
Servers at the restaurant at our
hotel were barefoot'as well, and
what did I do? I indulged in this
cultural phenomenon and walked
around town barefoot, too.
The most vivid image I carry
is the pool at our hotel. I remember spending hours in the pool
one day, which looked out over
the vast ocean. The outskirts of
the hotel were dotted with chickens and wild birds that begged
for scraps of food. One of the
most interesting sights was an
abandoned hotel, with windows
shattered and crumbling architecture. Its unkempt appearance
stood testament to the island's
gleefully disheveled personality.
During one of the last days of
my Rarotongan experience, my
family and I attended the wedding of my second cousin and
the princess of the island. The
wedding, held on a scorching
hot day on the white sands of
a gorgeous beach, exemplified
the culture's relaxed nature. The
bride wore delicate sandals, and
a flowing gown and presented
herself with poise and grace. At
the reception, the coconut trees
intrigued my cousin and me.
The groom helped us retrieve
a single tropical seed from the
tops of one of the towering trees.
Although I attended a wedding on one of the most exotic
places on Earth and found adventure on every corner of the island,
I most enjoyed the time I spent relaxing. My cousin and I received
pedicures at a local spa, lounged
by the pool and casually walked
around markets. As a busy college
student now, I think back to my

H OPPING O N T HE SPRINTER
AN AFTERNOON O N THE RAILS
N ANCY R OSSIGNOL
P RIDE STAFF W RITER
Unless you consider moving
exciting, my Spring Break was
nothing like a trip to Cancun.
The highlight of my week, aside
from avoiding any moving injuries, was the interesting afternoon
I spent riding the Sprinter train.
By midweek, I had settled in
to my new place in Vista, leaving
behind thefirsthalf of the semester and the long commute from
Fallbrook to campus. Now I am
less than a mile from the Vista
Transit Center and about nine
miles from campus. My main
motivation for the move from
Fallbrook to Vista was to save
time commuting, gas, money,
and^to avoid the stresses of driving in heavy traffic. What used to
take a tank of gas per week will
now take about one third of that.
My new place is very convenient to everything I need. I can
walk a half block to the nearest
bus stop, less than a mile to the
Sprinter, a light rail train running a span of 22 miles between
Escondido and Oceanside, and
back again, seven days a week
with newly extended weekend
hours. A single ride, one-way
trip, costs $2 or $1 for seniors
and disabled persons. A regional
day pass is $5, entitling passengers the use of Sprinter, Breeze,
Trolley and MTS regular buses
all day long. CSUSM students
can purchase a monthly pass
for $29, valid on Sprinter and
Breeze. Other discounts are
also available. See the complete
schedule of station locations, departure/arrival times, and ticket
prices at www.GoNCTD.com.
Most CSUSM students use
the Sprinter to travel to and from
campus, but I decided to explore
my new surroundings by taking
in all the stops and sights along
the Sprinter rails. My excursion
began with my parents at the Vista Transit Center at Santa Fe and
East Vista Way, just off the 78
freeway, where we found plenty
of parking and easily located
the user-friendly Ticket Vending Machine (TVM). Free parking and TVMs are available at
most Sprinter stations. We had no
problems inserting our $15 cash
for three tickets, but the machines
do accept major credit cards and
most debit cards. Passengers
can also purchase a Compass
Card: a refillable account card.
Since the Vista station is about
halfway down the line, we decided to head east to the end of
the track in Escondido then turn
around and ride the entire length
of the track to Oceanside for
lunch. The eastbound Sprinter
departed on time at 10:56 a.m. I
found the online schedule very
comprehensive since the trains
run about every half hour in both
directions. It took 20 minutes to
get to the CSUSM station, five
stops away from Vista, which
is exactly how long it takes me
to drive it in good traffic. The
walk from the Sprinter station
to campus is about the same as
walking from the X parking lot.
Going East past CSUSM, there
is only one stop before arriving
at the Escondido Transit Center. Once we arrived in Escondido, the Sprinter switched over
to the westbound track and we
headed back toward Oceanside.
The interior of the Sprinter
was clean, and there was plenty
of room for bikes, strollers, and
luggage. The seats were comfortable with lots of legroom, and the
windows provided a nice panoramic view of the springtime
scenery. Passengers consisted of
all age groups. Even the ticket
taker was friendly. The stations
were well maintained and seemed
secure. We just sat back, relaxed,
and enjoyed the 53-minute ride
from Escondido to Oceanside
with 15 stops along the way. The
ride was so quiet we thought the
Sprinter's power source must be
electrical, especially given the
name "light rail." It surprised
me to find that a clean burning
diesel engine powers the train.
The Oceanside Transit Center
is a major hub with connections
to the Breeze, Coaster, AmTrak,
Metrolink, and Greyhound. Passengers can travel on to popular
destinations in San Diego County
such as Balboa Park, PETCO
Park, the zoo, Old Town, the airport or the far-reaching transit
lines of AmTrak and Greyhound.
There are also plenty of sights
right in Oceanside including
museums and restaurants within
walking distance of the station,
not to mention the Oceanside
pier only four-blocks away. Since
the weather was on the chilly
side, we chose the closest place
we could find: a little burger
place near the Transit Store.
The next time you need to be
somewhere, whether commuting
to campus, work, sightseeing, or
spending a day at the beach, bring
along your bike, your buddies,
and enjoy the ride. You never
know what can happen on a train!

GOLF TEAMS SETTLE
FOR 7TH
CSUSM men's golf has furiously outpaced expectations this
year, racing to a #23 ranking behind captain and star Adam Loran. When they needed it most
at the CBU Spring Break Intercollegiate, Loran came through
once more—only this time his
teammates kept pace. The loaded tournament's third and last
round proved invaluable for the
Cougars, who collectively shot
7 over par on the day, a fantastic result. Led by Loran's 71
(-1) and Robert Nicanor's 72
(E), the Cougars placed 7th in
the field of 16, eight of whom
were also ranked in the top 25.
The women's team faced
an even tougher challenge last
week, traveling to San Luis
Obispo to take part in the Lamkin Grip/Cal Poly Challenge.
Coming off the high of winning
their home tournament, the Lady
CÖügar Invitational, and finishing 8th at the women's CBU
Spring Break Intercollegiate,
the LG/CPC allowed CSUSM
to face off against NCAA-level
golfers. The Lady Cougars could
only muster a two-day score of
678, good for 7th out of nine.
Lisa Copeland led the way with
a second-day 79 to place 21st.

RODGERS SHINES AT SURF CHAMPIONSHIP
ASHLEY DAY
A&JE E DITOR
Saturday, March 12 and Sunday, March 13, CSUSM's surf
team traveled to Huntington
Beach and competed in the National Scholastic' Surfing Association's (NSSA) Interscholastic State Championships.
The A team came in 6th of 16,
while the B team finished 13th,
their best ranking of the season.
The competition held a number of categories including,
college men's, college women'^ and college longboard.
A team longboarder and surf
team treasurer, Mick Rodgers,
excelled in the competition. He
finished as the Runner-Up State
Champion to SDSU's Jon Hoover.
"[Rodgers] has been a contributor in many ways since day
one of his involvement," Dr.
Amber Puha, professor in the
department of mathematics and
surf team faculty advisor said.
Rodgers, a senior, is finishing
hisreignonCSUSM'steamstrong.
He has been a member of the surf
team since his freshman year.
' The A team shortboard
women, Kaitlin Maguii^and Annie Howe, also had excépfipnal
performances," Dr. Puha said.
Maguire and Howe finished fourth and fifth , in
the college womens round.
CSUSM's surf team .started
in January 2002. In 2009, our
team won thè National Championship. Since its inception,
the CSUSM surf team benefited from a steady flow of
strong longboard competitors.
Past surfers Dystin Franks,
Chris Smith and Christian
Clark contributed to putting
CSUSM's surf team on, the map.
Franks competed on the very
first team and scored at least
one State Championship. Smith
earned the 2007 State Champion and Runner-Up National
Champion and Clark seized the
2008 National Championship.
"It's a really interesting phenomenon that's happened since the
inception of the team. The longboarders really contribute a lot to
the team points " Dr. Puha said.
The surf team competes in
three competitions in the fall
and one in early January. To
get involved with the surf team,
you may tryout in early fall, approximately three weeks into
the semester. There's a chance
to make it onto either the A
team, composed of the strongest surfers or the B team, consisting of surfers at all levels.
Participating on the surf team
is an excellent way to contribute to CSUSM and live up to the
rich beach life San Diego offers.
In addition, the surf team helps
build bonds with other students.
'These students bond on the
beach, and they create what
seems to be lasting friendships
that will go beyond their years
at CSUSM," Dr. Puha said.
Next season, MiraCosta College transfer student Ashley
Aronson will be the next surf
team captain. He will bring his
surfing skills to CSUSM and
hopefully can lead the surf team
to another National Championship. Dr. Puha is excited to
see what next season brings.
CSUSM will send the
A team to the National Championships in June.
The NSSA National College Surfing Championships
air on CBS Saturday, June 25
at 2 p.m. eastern time. Watch
to see a representation of the
CSUSM team fight for victory.

AMY SALISBURY
E DITOR-IN-CHIEF
I've had a very long, happy
relationship with Thom Yorke,
Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed O'Brien, and Phil Selway. And my boyfriend is usually
okay with it. Years and years of
faithfulness fueled my love for
everything those aforementioned
men of Radiohead created, but I
don't know how I feel right now.
People change. So do bands.
In fact, a few years ago, Radiohead broke from their record label
and announced they would pursue
self-released work. They maintain
that their work is entirely selfproduced as well, although the

Radiohead made the album available for download on their merch

After learning that I could listen to this album at my leisure,
I sort of chose not to. The gossip surrounding this "different"
incarnation of Radiohead and its
reception was disheartening to
say the least. I imagined "The
King of Limbs" was a modern
incarnation of when Bob Dylan
went electric; some people loved
it, and some people hated it.
I also imaged that "The King
of Limbs" wouldn't be as impressive as "Kid A" or "Hail to the
Thief," but I can't pin down what
made me think that. Perhaps that

raising Hope for Haiti
Reaching out in the wake of massive tragedy
BY KRISTINA MARTINEZ
Business Manager
¡See Page 2
flaws Briefs
I NDEPENDENT S TUDENT NEWSPAPER
Tragedy struck Port-au-Prince,
Haiti on Jan. 12, 2010, when a 7.0
earthquake killed hundreds of thousands of people and injured many
more. People from all over the
world have expressed heartfelt help
in the wake of this massive tragedy,
doing their part to assist in relief
efforts. From companies accepting donations to last Friday's "Hope
for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for
Earthquake Relief' telethon, people
are finding creative ways to help in
the wake of this disaster.
According to the CIA World
Factbook, Haiti's population is
9,035,536. It is also one of the most
densely populated and least developed countries in the Western
Hemisphere. According to Haiti's
ambassador to the United States,
Haiti's infrastructure was among
the world's worst even in the best of
times. Many believe that this poor
infrastructure led to the catastrophe. Calculations to determine the
final deal toll on the island are pending, and authorities still do not know
how many people remain buried in
the rubble. According to the United
Nations, more than 121 people left
the rubble alive.
Celebrities came together for a
telethon on Friday, Jan. 22, 2010
in order to help raise money for
Haiti. Celebrities like George Clooney, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson,
Stevie Wonder, Zac Efron, Robert
Patterson, Julia Roberts, and many
other big names volunteered their
time to answer phones and receive
donations towards the Earthquake
Relief Fund for Haiti. Rather than
using their own names, they used
the names oflocal Haitians who had
been injured or lost in the tragedy.
Many songs were performed that
help people to cope with the events
that happened and told a story of the
process of dealing with loss. The
telethon included performances of
popular songs such as "Let it Be"
sung by Jennifer Hudson, "Bridge
Over Troubled Water" performed
by Stevie Wonder, "Lean on Me"
by Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban and
Kid Rock, and "Hard Times No
More" sung by Mary J. Blige. Other
performers include Sting, Shakira, Beyonce, Christina Aguilera,
Bruce Springsteen and Coldplay,
Jay Z, Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Bono,
Justin Timberlake, Madonna, and
The Edge of U2 .
According to USA Today, the
"Hope for Haiti Now" telethon set
a new record at $58 million and
counting with donations via the
Internet, text, phone, or mail. The
entire album can be downloaded on
iTunes and according to MTV.com
According to MTV.com, viewers
may purchase the entire telethon on
iTunes. In fact, the "Hope for Haiti
Now" album is currently the #1
iTunes album in 18 countries. For
more information about the telethon
or how to donate, please visit www.
hopeforhaitinow.org.
Other companies are doing their
part to aid in the relief efforts by
donating money to the Haiti-relief
organizations and allowing customers to donate money through their
stores. For example, Starbucks began
accepting donations at all local stores
and will be giving the money to the

Red Cross. According to Starbucks,
com, Starbucks has pledged to
donate $1 million to the Red Cross in
addition to what it is able to collect
from customers at its stores. Bank of
America is also accepting donations
for the Red Cross. Phone companies
are accepting donations via text messages. For example, people can text
"Yele" to 501501 and Wyclef Jean's
Yele Foundation will receive a $5.00
donation, appearing on the patron's

Less than a month
into a new decade, the
world experienced an
outrageous tragedy. The
infamous earthquake in
Haiti that toppled buildings and left a devastating amount of people
dead is a bleak start to the year.
The fresh feeling that came with
the start of 2010 may feel disturbed
already, but the outreach of people
around the world is astounding. The kindness shown here in
America from ordinary
people and celebrities is
remarkable and nothing
short of inspiring. The
earthquake could have
left the world feeling
hopeless, but I believe
that if current efforts
continue,
humanity
may come out of this
situation with a resolution of unity.
The destruction of Haiti was
a dismal sight, especially in an
already impoverished nation. Yet
the selfless worldwide response
saved move lives from ending and
provided the necessary supplies to
keep survivors alive.
However, the work is not done
yet. If you have not donated the
relief in Haiti, I wonder what you
are waiting for. Sure, it is easy to
ignore something that seems so far
away in another country. But right
now, any money that you can give
is seriously needed. Ten dollars is
a good start and you will not even
notice it is gone in a week.
Yet, that money will go so far to
provide food, water, and other supplies to people who are dying right
now. This is your opportunity to
make a difference, and thanks to
donations via cell phones, it is even
easier.
Hope can also come from the
rebuilding process. Once the mess
has cleared, continued support
in Haiti can aid in establishing
an infrastructure stronger than
before in an effort to eliminate
poverty. From there, more can be
done to eliminate poverty, starvation, and homelessness around the
world.
I know it is an idealistic proposal, but it is not going to change
any other way. Now is the perfect
time to start waves of change. The
ball is in your court.
D uring my f irst few weeks of
Senior E xperience, I w as i ntroduced to t he idea of a Group
C ontract. Basically you lay out
all the s trengths and weakness
of t he individual group members, assign roles and expectations, and work out communication p lans and c onflict
resolution. Start the process
by t hinking about t he worst
g roup you have worked with
and the b est. Explain why. This
was probably the most u seful
t hing I have learned thus f ar,
and I f ound myself w ondering
why t his i sn't t he f irst t hing
that you get assigned t o do as
a group. I t hink it would be a
great tool, not only for g roup
p rojects but f or student clubs
and o rganizations as well. How
many of us have been f rustrated with t he g roup member
t hat d oesn't do t heir share of
t he work, but gets t he same
grade and i sn't held a ccountable for h is/her actions? I know
I have had my f air share over
the y ears. T his s emester The
Pride w ill be u sing t his concept as we c ontinue to move
forward as an o rganization we
are always looking f or ways to
make the process even b etter.
So the next t ime you have t o
work with a group or r un a student organization I challenge
you t o develop t his group contract t ogether and l earn exactly
what it is that you want to
achieve and sign it. Then you
have l iving proof of t he ideas
and e xpectations t hat were laid
out and can go back and s ee if
you achieved what you set out
to achieve. I thought this was
u seful knowledge and should
be passed on to you the s tudents. More u seful tidbits to
come in f uture issues so watch
out.

Haulted healthcare reform
Has Massachusetts stopped progress?
BY JAMES ROCHE
Pride Staff Writer
On Jan. 19, 2009, the people
of Massachusetts took to the
polls to elect either Republican
candidate Scott Brown or the
Democrat Martha Coakley into
the Senate.
This particular seat had
become available due to the
death of Democratic Senator
Ted Kennedy last year and the
history of this state has made
the result even more surprising.
The assumption of Massachusetts as a traditionally Democratic state changed with a victory for the Republicans in the
f orm of Scott Brown.
Whether or not you follow
politics, you are probably aware
one of the main issues over the
last 6 months has been healthcare r eform. Democrats have
been t rying to push through
a bill to radically change the
country's health care system.
The hope that this bill will transition into a law diminished
following Republican Scott
Brown's victory.
President Obama has remained
calm about the situation despite
the Democrats losing their
60-seat majority in the Senate.
This means the Republicans can
now block any potential bills. He
told ABC News: "The Senate
certainly shouldn't try to jam
anything through until Scott
Brown is seated. People in Massachusetts spoke. He's got to be
part of that process."
Due to the Democrats losing
their majority, this allows the
Republicans to have a greater
influence on healthcare reform
then they would have had if Scott
Brown had not won. According
to CNN.com some Democrats
are planning to focus on less
controversial aspects such as
stopping insurers from banning
people based on pre-existing
conditions.
Healthcare reform is still
very high on the public's
minds with 36% of people
naming it the top story they
follow in the news and 44% of
people saying they follow the
debate closely according to a
survey by the Pew Research
Center.
This debate rages on past
the 6-month mark, and has
gone through so much discussion f rom President Obama's
speech to the well-publicized
public town hall meetings.
The main point is that America has never been closer
to changing its healthcare
system.
Regardless of senatorial
support, lowering the costs of
health insurance and stopping
insurers from refusing service
to those with preexisting conditions reads like a good idea.

those of you who don't know what a Westie is.. .well you are definitely

My name is Amy and I'm the Editor

The Pride. I'm in the second half of my
junior year as a 21-year-old Literature

Lawrence Ferlinghetti's work, which
is astounding considering how fantastic the man's poetry is. I like cats,

have been working with The Pride since the fall of 2008 as a

This is my sixth semester with The Pride, and if everything
goes well, I will be graduating this spring with a degree in
Literature and Writing. From there I hope to get my teaching
credential and teach high school writing, as well as writing
non-fiction on the side. For now, I look forward to continuing
my weekly column and writing for art and entertainment.* On the more interesting side, I grew up in Buffalo, NY, but
moved here to start college when my dad got a job transfer.
Thus, I have an affinity for chicken wings, or as the locals call

I got married to Kristina (yes, that one right [well, left] over there) last

to various places in So Cal with Kristina and our dog Harrison, going

This was actually much more than I had anticipated on writing, which is
fine for me, you don't have to keep reading. You could have stopped after

C al State S an M arcos Softball: 2 010 season preview
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
Cal State San Marcos softball is coming
home.
For the three years of its existence,
CSUSM softball has played and practiced
at Mission Hills High School. Though the
field is j ust a few minutes f rom campus,
and hundreds of f ans have showed up
for big home games, the team has never
enjoyed a t rue home-field advantage.
Until now.
Head Coach Dave Williams, who
joined the University last summer, made
completing the field on campus his top
priority f rom day one. With help f rom the
Athletics Department and generous contributions f rom parents, companies, and
community members, the long-planned
field was built f rom the ground-up in j ust
a few short months.
Located on campus j ust behind the
Clarke Field House in the University's
large dirt " front yard," the tentativelynamed CSUSM Softball Field will play
host to every softball home game this
year - 24 total games across 12 home
dates, s tarting on January 30th.
As for the team that will call the field
home, Coach Williams is confident that
this year's veteran-heavy squad has the
talent and experience necessary to earn
the program's first trip to Nationals. He
would know - a fter taking over as Head
Coach at Point Loma in 1998, his teams
posted seven 40-win seasons, t hree
50-win seasons, and two NA1A National
Runner-Up finishes. Under Williams,
Point Loma has placed in the top-10 at
Nationals every year since 2001, and took
f ifth last year.
For the Cougars, last year was the program's most successful to date. The squad
went 34-23, earning a trip to the A.I.I.
Conference Tournament and making it all
the way to the finals before being defeated
by the University of Houston - Victoria.
CSUSM finished the season ranked #20
nationally.
While the home game setting will be
entirely different in 2010, Cougar f ans
will recognize most everyone t aking the
field. T hanks to the youth on last year's
team, only two of the squad's sixteen
players are newcomers.
It's no secret that softball starts with

pitching, and CSUSM is blessed with an
outstanding #1 starter: Brenna Sandberg.
The j unior righty throws with pinpoint
control and excellent movement. In 2009,
Sandberg went 11-6 with a 1.52 ERA in
110.1 innings pitched. She struck out 94
batters and surrendered j ust 8 walks, and
was an All-Conference selection.
"Brenna is a legitimate #1 pitcher,"
commented Coach Williams.
Perhaps Sandberg's most impressive
trait is that she rises to the level of competition. In 2009, she posted wins over #1
Cal Baptist and #2 Point Loma; and in the
fall, she allowed j ust one unearned r un
over seven innings to San Diego State, a
top-25 NCAA Division I team.
Joining Sandberg on the mound will
be a pair of veteran pitchers for the team.
Ciera Ashman, a top-of-the-lineup hitter
and everyday outfielder, showed signs of
tremendous talent last season in limited
work. The sophomore l efty was 3-2 with
a 2.44 ERA on the year in 37.1 innings
pitched.
"Ciera had moments of brilliance in
the fall," said Williams. "If she develops
consistency, she will be very good."
Junior Chanel Rose should also get her
first chance at extended playing time on
the mound. The j unior righty was 2-1
with a 2.47 ERA in 22.2 innings pitched
in 2009.
"Chanel's velocity has improved, and
she's working on her changeup," noted
Williams. "She j ust needs experience."
In the field, the crucial catcher position will be handled by j unior K imi Villalpando. Villalpando saw limited action
last season, but Coach Williams loves her
technical skills behind the plate.
"The number one j ob for a catcher is to
catch the ball, and Kimi is the best I 've
seen in years," said Williams. "Her hitting really picked up in the fall as well."
Also seeing time behind the plate
will be Tasha Stokes and Mimi K rutein.
Stokes, a senior, is "consistent, confident,
and a clutch hitter," according to Coach
Williams; while Krutein h as one of the
strongest arms on the team, and is working on her footwork and hitting.
At first base, multiple h ard-hitters
may see playing time. Junior Lauren
Nelson, coming o ff a breakout season
in which she hit .345 and was second
on the team with 25 RBI, figures to b e
an everyday presence in the middle of
the lineup. She was an A ll-Conference
selection in 2009.
Newcomer Erin Emde may play first
as well. The senior transfer batted in the
middle of the lineup for NCAA school
UC Davis last season, and should be
a big-time bat for the Cougars. A high
school pitcher, Emde may also see time
on the mound.
Fellow newcomer Sandra Rodriguez
will get her chance as well. The l efty
f reshman t ransferred f rom Cal State
Fullerton, and demonstrates excellent
athletic ability and maturity beyond her
years, according to Coach Williams.
And Alyssa Dronenburg, who may
play outfield or first base, will once again
provide the pop in the Cougar lineup. An
All-Conference selection as a t rue f resh-
man in 2009, Dronenburg led the team
with a .348 batting average, 10 home
r uns, and 33 RBI.
"Alyssa is a legit #4 hitter with tremendous power and good athletic ability,"
said Coach Williams. " I love her intensity - she is really serious when the game
is on."
At second base, super-steady Erica
Coelho will continue to patrol the spot
she's played since the program's first-ever
season. The senior started 50 games last
season, hitting .273 with 23 RBI. She
will likely be batting behind the big middle-of-the-lineup hitters, so expect that
RBI total to surge.
Junior Shanti Poston will b e moving
f rom third to shortstop t his season,
where she'll continue t o be a regular in
the lineup. Nicknamed " Hoover" for her
defensive prowess, Poston was a rock at
third base last season, and Coach Williams believes her skills will translate to
the crucial shortstop position.
"Shanti is a great all-around athlete
who fields the ball very well," noted Williams.
At third, then, will be Ashley Estepa.
The sophomore came to CSUSM as a
second baseman, moved to left field in
2009, and will now b e back in the infield
this spring. Though not necessarily an
imposing figure at the plate, Estepa packs
a surprising amount of pop, h itting .270
with 2 home r uns and 23 RBI last season.
Coach Williams likes her potential at t he
new position.
"Ashley has very quick feet and very
good hands," he said. " She'll develop
into a really good infielder."
In centerfield, Elizabeth Bush begins
her f ourth year as a starter for t he Cougars. She'll be a "good, strong, athletic p resence" in both t he field and at
the plate, according to Coach Williams.
Bush will j oin Ashman at the t op of t he
lineup, where Williams is calling on t hem
to combine to produce at least one r un per
game.
When f ans last saw Alicia I ngram, she
was playing shortstop and b atting right
handed. This year, t he sophomore w ill
be a left-handed slap hitter playing outfield. She brings tremendous speed t o t he
lineup, and excellent range and an accurate a rm to t he outfield.
Senior Lindsey Preovolos will play
in the outfield as well, moving f rom the
catcher spot she's been in since the p rogram's inception. A team leader, Preovolos has been a good clutch h itter for t he
squad for the last t hree years.
All together, this y ear's Cougar lineup
should be balanced nicely with speed at
the top and bottom (Bush, A shman, and
Ingram), power in the middle (Nelson,
Dronenburg, and Emde), and solid contact
h itters throughout. With so m any r eturners, Coach Williams expects the t eam to
gel quickly into a force in the N AI A.
"I expect to be in Decatur, A labama in
May for Nationals," stated Williams, "and
our goal is to compete in t he Elite 8 "
While the t eam will have t o e arn the
right t o travel to Decatur, they at least
know that t his season, for t he first t ime,
they have a field to t ruly call home.

late because the person they
are interested in is no longer
available.
An obstacle arises, whether
it is that they are dating or
engaged to someone
else, or have a tragic
character flaw.
The story
follows
the
pro tagonist's quest
to win the
heart of his or
her beloved. The
f ilm becomes whimsical as comedy ensues,
and the protagonist almost
gets what he o r she want j ust
before something sad happens.
This sad happening usually
deals with something rude the
protagonist, said or did in the

back to haunt him or her. Yet,
no matter how bad it is, the

The romantic comedy that

in a slightly different order

From a strictly objective
view, L would imagine this lack

THE PRIDE
The Rays Winning the World Series?
Don't laugh, they will do it
BY BRIAN MANN
Pride Staff Writer
Let's be honest. Since their
inception in 1998 as an expansion team, the Tampa Bay Rays
(formerly known as the Devil
Rays) have been downright
awful.
Annually, they have been
among the worst teams in baseball. Their payroll is almost
always near the bottom of the
pile. It seemed as though they
would forever be a bottomfeeder given their seeming
unwillingness to spend money
to acquire proven talent.
Who cared anyway? They
were Tampa Bay, baseball
Siberia, an expansion mistake
with absolutely no history.
Until this year.
The Rays have exploded onto
the seen«, and, quite impressively, amassed one of the best
records in baseball. This year
marks their first-ever division
title and their first-ever playoff
appearance.
Over the course of the season,
they have shown that they can
win a nd win big doing it their
way. They won a division, the
American League East that
also includes the high-payroll
New York Yankees and Boston
Red Sox.
The Rays have enjoyed great
- success from young players with high-end talent, but
because of these players'-youth
and inexperience, they are relatively inexpensive.
In comparison with* the
remaining three teams l eft, the
Rays have an advantage over
each one.
Their American League
Championship Series opponent, the Boston Red Sox, have
injury issues, particularly with
clutch pitcher Josh Beckett.
The National League contestants have flaws as well. The
Philadelphia Phillies rely too
much on strong hitting at their
home ballpark, which is very
small and strongly favors hitters.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are the least flawed, other
than the Rays, but they seem
a bit divided as a team. They
have an awkward mix of young
and old players who have had

people face hunger in San Diego
county. 181,000 of which are
children. Founded in 1977, the
San Diego Food Bank distributes approximately ten million
pounds of food each year to individuals, families, and other nonprofit organizations to assist in
the fight against hunger in San
Diego County.

From PACT, page 1
reported on the issue on Oct. 3, stating
that the program saves the taxpayers
$1.4 billion each year by helping prevent unwanted pregnancies and, "If not
resolved in California's favor, the disagreement could create a new hole of at
least $262 million in the state budget
that j ust went into e ffect..."
Each year, the federal government
pays for $315 million worth of the estimated $432 million it costs to run the
program. Since the federal government
only pays for legal immigrants, the
state pays for care received by illegal
immigrants.
Family PACT accounts for approximately 1.7 million low income Californians annually, with services ranging
f rom sex education, counseling, and
birth control methods to prenatal care
and annual exams/Representatives in
favor of the program claim that the state
would pay much more in maternity care
for the 170,000 women served under
Family PACT. According to state statistics, an estimated 14% of Family
PACT participants are illegal immigrants. This past September, the
Bush administration gave California
a month to determine the legality of
each member of the program to avoid
losing federal funding.
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services extended the status of
the Family PACT waiver to Oct. 16,
a fter which, the program will determine how to continue serving those
under Family PACT.
Student Health and Counseling
Services called for student participants in the Family PACT program
to contact their local congressman,
senator, and Majority Speaker of the
House, Nancy Pelosi at 202-225-4965
or AmericanVoices@mail.house.gov
to express the importance of the program.

"Don't Vote," an online video featuring celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx,
and Sarah Silverman, serves as a comedic public service announcement using
reverse psychology to encourage voter
registration and stress its importance.
In the video, the celebrities challenge
those who watch it to take a step f urther than registering and send the video
to five friends in hopes of motivating
them to do the same.
"There is nothing more American than
exercising one's right to vote and many
Americans cast their f irst vote as college students," said Geron. "College students represent a growing portion of the

a big impact and this is simply an e ffort

�The scariest
BY SANDRA CHALMERS
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
in San Dì
Grounds, the Scream Zone features three
separate attractions, the Haunted Hayride,
the House of Horror and the Chamber for
good Halloween time fun.
The Haunted Hayride is a PG rated scare
for the whole family, though it may not be
appropriate for small children. Riders sit
huddled together on a tractor-pulled hay
wagon while being stalked by ghost and
zombies.
The Chamber is a themed labyrinth that is
haunted by La Llorone, a ghost from south
of the border who is searching for her lost
children. The Chamber is more suspense
driven than any of the other attractions and
is sure to deliver spine-tingling thrills.
The House of Horror is the scariest of die
three and is not recommended for children
under the age of 10. The house features
frightening scenes of gory terror and bloody
graphics. The House of Horror is designed
as a house with a series of themed
rooms that thrill seekers
must walk though.
The eight rooms
include the Funeral
Home Room, the
E lectrocution
room and the
Butcher
shop. Each
room is
slightly
more
frightening than
the one
San Diego is notorious for having high
Halloween spirits because, of the variety of
attractions it offers for the haunting season,
and this year San Diego is hosting four
major Halloween attractions throughout the
city, each with a unique theme that is sure
to give a good scare.
In Del Mar the Scream Zone delivers
thrills, Mira Mesa hosts Monster Manor,
Balboa Park has the Haunted Trail and
Downtown San Diego presents the Haunted
Hotel.
Following a trail of blood through a
dreary hallway and hearing chainsaws
humming in the background as a head rolls
across the floor leaves no doubt that the
Delmar Scream Zone has arrived.

before it, and each room offers a surprise
twist.
The Scream Zone is open nightly from
7 p.m. to midnight Oct. 23 thru Nov.l and
open on selected dates beginning Sept. 26.
Parking is free at the Delmar Fair grounds
after 7 p.m. but each attraction has its own
ticket price.
The triple combo costs $27.99, while a
double admission to the Chamber and either
the Haunted Hayride or House of Horror is
$18.99 or each individual event is priced at
$14.99. More information can be found at
www.sdfair.com/screamzone.
Monster Manor is the ghost of the
Ghastley family home. As the story
goes, every autumn the house
appears out of the ashes where
it formerly stood. The
local children called
the house Monster
Manor before it
burned
down
under mysterious circumstances
family inside.
Many try to enter the Manor each year
and the Ghastley family haunt, taunt
and scare the unwelcome guests.
Monster Manor is an intense
attraction and is not appropriate for children under the age
of 13. However the Monster
Manor does host Lite Fright
for younger audiences. In this
adventure friendly Buccaneers
enlist the children's help in a hunt for lost
treasure.
Lite Fright is on Oct. 18-19 and
25-26 from noon to 4 p.m. and admission is $5. The regular Night Haunt is Oct.
17-18 and 24-31, excluding Monday.
Regular admission is $10 at the
door. More information can be
found at www.monstermanor.
org.
The Haunted Trail at
Balboa Park is a more interactive experience than
the Scream Zone. The
Haunted Trail is an outdoor walk through wooded
areas with haunted graveyards and actors staged as ghosts
and other frightening characters.
The attraction was made to thrill
all the senses. Haunting tunes are
played while patrons walk through
the creepy scenes to keep them
looking over their shoulder,
and the natural moonlight

gives
it an

s pookiness for a

New this year to the Haunted
Trail is the Carnival of Carnage. Guests are
chased by demented clowns while trying
to get out of the polka
doted curtain room
in this twisted take
on a childhood
favorite.
Balboa Park's
Haunted Trail is
open from 7 p.m. to midnight Sept.26 thru Nov.l
and is closed on Mondays
and Tuesdays. Special
hours are set for the Halloween weekend. Tickets
cost $14.99 and can be purchased at the door.
The Haunted Hotel is
ably the most frightening
the Halloween attracin San Diego. At the
H aunted
Hotel, horror movies
are brought to life with special effects that
make the scenes appear frighteningly real.
Movies such as "Hostel", "Saw II" and
"Texas Chainsaw Massacre" have been
used in the past, and every year the
event features different movies.
Due to the intense nature of
the attraction, pregnant women,
those with heart conditions
and children under the age of
10 will not be admitted.
The Haunted Hotel is
located in the Gaslamp District and is open from Sept.
26 to Nov. 1, 7 p.m. to 11
p.m. and is closed Mondays and Tuesdays, and it
has special hours for Halloween weekend. Tickets
are $14.99 and can be purchased
online or at the door.

Rumored ghosts
haunt the
Whaley House
BY CRYSTAL EVANS
Features Editor
Juggling mid-terms, work,
social lives, and not to mention being too old to go trickor-treating makes it hard for
college students to get into the
Halloween spirit. However, a
trip to a local haunted spot can
leave goose bumps on the arms
and send chills down the back,
The Whaley House, located
in Old Town San Diego, is one
of two homes in California
that has been documented as
"haunted" by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. And according to the Travel Channel's
"America's Most Haunted," it
is the most haunted place is the
United States.
The property where the
house is located was a local
hanging site, according to the
Save Our Heritage Organisation(SOHO).
Even though Thomas Whaley
witnessed many of the hangings that took place there, he
still chose to purchase the land
to build a house for his family,
Shortly after the home was
built, the family claimed
they heard footsteps and
mysterious things around
the house, which they a t t r i uted to the ghosts of those
who had been hung there,
according to SOHO.
Urban legend also suggests
that Whaley and his wife
hauiit the home, along with a
little girl who is rumored to
have been decapitated in the
backyard by a clothing wire,
However, no documentation of the girl, her family,
or the incident can be found
according to SOHO.
SOHO claims that several people, including Regis
Philbin, claimed to see apparitions and other ghostly
behavior in the home,
The museum capitalizes
on the home's ghost filled
history during the Halloween s eason/The public can
participate in several activities such as oil lamp tours
with ghost stories and ghost
hunts. For more information

Cougar Cross-Country
Shines at Vanguard; Men
and Women Take 2nd
Cougar cross-country lived
up to its lofty national ranking
on Saturday, as the #3-ranked
women and #5-ranked men both
finished second at the Vanguard
Invitational.
Competing in chilly conditions against a field chocked
f ull of NAIA top-25 teams, both
CSUSM squads managed to
place only behind Azusa Pacific
in the standings. APU's women's team is ranked #2, and their
men are ranked #3.
Dallon Williams, as she has
done all season, led the Cougar
women in Saturday's 5K. The
senior star runner followed up
her record-breaking performance at Riverside with another
brilliant race, running 17:25 to
place second overall.
Not far behind was fellow
senior Morgan Sjogren, who
nearly joined Williams in breaking 18 minutes, but settled for
18:01. Up-and-coming sophomore Jessica Sandoval made it
a trio of Cougars in the top-10,
running 18:17 to place 10th.
True freshman Cady Villarreal ran a solid race, placing 15th
with a time of 18:44. Rounding
out the top-5 was Sin Carrano,
who ran 18:48 to take 17th.
Unbelievably, CSUSM nearly
had 7 runners finish under
19-minutes, despite the tough
conditions. Lindsey McKown
and Whitney Patton just missed
the mark, running 19:02 and
19:03 to finish 24th and 25th,
respectively. Also competing
for the Cougars were Suzanne
Scrimenti (29th; 19:10), Stephanie cook (40th; 19:53), Jen Reinagel (41st; 19:56), Cassidy Reich
(57th; 20:46), Monika Valenzuela (68th; 21:07), Brooke Smith
(73rd; 21:23), Christina Cooper
(76th; 21:54), Niki Thomas (85th;
22:25), Mallory Bawkey (87th;
22:44), and Erin Hearn (88th;
unspecified violation of team
rules.
Cincinnati Bengals wide
receiver Chris Henry has been

has been arrested five times in

The first round of the playoffs
has been completed. Each series
was a best of five (or first team

The Los Angeles Dodgers and
Philadelphia Phillies are playing the National League Championship Series for the right to
represent the National League
in the World Series. It is a best
of seven series (or first team to
win four).
The Tampa Bay Rays and
Boston Red Sox are competing
in the American League Championship Series for the right to
go to the World Series. It is also
a best of seven series.
San Diego Padres owner John
Moores reportedly is attempting to sell about 49% of the
team, according to published
reports. He is in the midst of a
complicated divorce. By retaining more than half of the team's
ownership stake, he would
retain the controlling interest in
the team.
NASCAR
22:45).
On the men's side, the Cougars' formula for success
remained the same as its been
all year: solid, consistent (if
not spectacular) times from
everyone in the tpo-5. While
the men don't have a breakout
star like Williams or Sjogren,
they run remarkably good and
consistent times from race to
race.
This differs from the last
couple seasons, when the
Cougar men have had the star
power but not necessarily the
depth. In both 2006 and 2007,
CSUSM finished a disappointing 9th at Nationals; this year's
team has quietly positioned
itself to improve on that.
Leading the way on Saturday was Dave Edwards, who
ran a strong 26:08 on the 8K
course. Amazingly, the team's
next four runners finished in
order, starting with Tony Guadagnini running 26:21 to take
14th. Finishing 15th was Alex
Guaderrama at 26:22. In 16th
was Kyle Hughes at 26:26.
And at 17th was Matt Leetch,
who ran 26:29 to cap off the
impressive team showing.
This year's team also possesses the depth that has been
lacking iji previous years. If
any of the above runners had
faltered, Leo Elorza's 21st
place finish at 26:39 wouldn't
have hurt the squad at all.
Also
competing
were
Andrew Lang (37th; 27:26),
Hank Carl (44th, 28:00), Miguel
Vega (48th; 28:03), Antonio
Sanchez (53rd; 28:10), Thomas
Polhill (64th; 29:20), and
Weston Ryan (73rd; 30:50).

Woman 3-0. Men 1-1
BY LANCE CARTELLI
Pride Staff Writer
Cougars Soccer had a successful road trip this weekend,
with both the Men going 1-1 and
the Women going undefeated
3-0 throughout the week.
On the brink of going over the
.500 margin for the second time
this season, the Men's Soccer
team just fell short moving their
record to 5-6-1.
Traveling up the coast this
past weekend, the Cougars
played S.F. State, where both
teams came out strong scoring
goals almost immediately.
In the 4th minute SFSU's
Mario Hernandez hit a corner
kick in the box, which ended up
being scored by Killian LeDuke
to give them the 1-0 lead. Just 5
minutes later, co-captain Chris
Wyatt scored an equalizer from
25 yards out to beat the keeper.
The 1-1 tie carried all the
way into the 2nd half, when in
the 71st minute the Cougars
fouled a member of SFSU in
the box and scored on a penalty kick after defender Trey
Whitaker was sent off with a
red card.
The Cougars couldn't get an
equalizer and lost 2-1.
In their 2nd game of the road
trip, the Cougars moved their
record back to .500 with a 1-0 win
over Cal State Monterey Bay.
In the 14th minute, Michael
Nuovo found senior co-captain
Greg Reese, who scored on a shot
off the right post to give the Cougars the only score of the game.
Keeper Tashi Nakanishi made
5 saves in the game to maintain
the shutout.
Women's Soccer needed a 2nd
half comeback to win over Chapman University 2-1, in the only
home game of the week for the
Cougars.
After coming off a loss the
Cougars are now ranked #13
nationally.
The Cougars out shot Chapman 12-2 in thefirsthalf but once
again could not capitilize and
would trail 1-0 going into the 2nd
half.
In the 55th minute, Taylor
Ziencina, who has been hitting
phenomenal corners all year, hit
another deadly pass into seldomused defender Lauren Hernandez
who headed it in for the equalizer.
Finally in the 72nd minute, athlete of the month Katelyn Krauss
made a great run at midfield and
found Ziencina who scored the
game winner after the defense
did not allow a shot on goal in the
2nd half.
In their 1st game of the road
trip, the Cougars clawed SFSU
2-1 in another great victory.
After another corner kick
by Ziencina, Breanna Brenton, a solid back line defender,
scored in the 28th minute t o
give the Cougars the 1-0 lead
early. Krauss gave the Cougars a much-needed insurance
goal coming off a penalty kick
in the 65th minute, which ended
up being the game winner, after
the Cougars allowed a late goal
in the 88th minute.
Women's Soccer improved
their record to 9-2-2 after a dominating victory against CSU East
Bay 3-0.
Katelyn Krauss added another
goal in what has been an impressive week for the athlete of the
month in September to give the
Cougars a 1-0 lead.
The Cougars would add on two
more goals in the 2nd half, one by

Intramural Basketball and
Co-ed Dodgeball
BY LANCE ROSENBERGER
Pride Staff Writer
A round of applause is in
order for everybody who participated in the Intramural
Basketball and Co-ed Dodgeball leagues held at the Clark
Fieldhouse over the past couple
weeks. But like all sports, we
have to give special praise to
the teams who managed to
strive above the rest and make
it to the finals.
For basketball we had the Fab 5
play off against the ZBT Shockers. In a great game the Fab 5
managed to come out ahead, getting first place for this season. "It
was a great game on both parts
and all the players deserve recognition" says Hugo Lecomte, the
Director of Campus Recreation.
But it wasn't over for the ZBT
Shockers. Not one to sit on the
sidelines, they also made it all
the way through to the finals
in the Dodgeball league. In the
final game against Los Peloteros
they came out ahead, grabbing
the title of CSUSM Dodgeball
champions. Los Peloteros played
hard, but apparently the ZBT
Shockers played harder.
All the staff working at the
Clark Fieldhouse wish to invite
you to participate in the upcoming Flag Football and 3-on-3
Women's Basketball leagues.
Check out all the activities by
visiting Campus Recreation in
the Clark Fieldhouse.

Just for Shiggles By Jenny Bigpond

If you like your food slathered
in home-style essence and fried
to perfection, then tucking in to
Old California Mining Company
is a great way to spend any day of
the week.
The restaurant is nestled right
in the middle of "Restaurant
Row" along San Marcos Blvd.
With other restaurants around
the area specializing in foreign
foods, it's a refreshing sight to
see a place with good ol' American roots.
The presentation of the old
time California feeling is evident right at the start. From the
rusty lanterns strewn around the
walkway leading up to the place,
to the heavily scarred wooden
door that opens to let customers in, you feel like
your back in the
1880's swinging a
pickaxe to the tune
of old folk tunes.
The interior is just
as decorated as the
outside, with sttiffed
bears and elk lining
the walls and old
paintings of miners
spaced out along the
dining areas.
The customer service is exceptional
and right on time,
and the wait for an order is was
surprisingly short.
Speaking of which, no restaurant would be complete without a
fabulous menu to go along with
its decor. Old Town California Mining Company doesn't
disappoint. They have a large
menu ranging from the classic
chicken fried steak and potatoes to an impressive seafood
selection.
There is also a large desert
menu to satisfy the heartiest
of eaters, although it may go
untouched since the portions are
rather generous.
Who doesn't like a little nostalgic and rustic aura in a restaurant? Head down to Old Town
California Mining Company
to have a great time, eat some
great food, and enjoy an authentic setting of times of old.

Tony Vs.
Paul
BY JOSEPH DERAGISCH
Pride Staff Writer
Tony Vs. Paul is an amazing and at times hilarious stop
motion fight sequence between
two friends gone rivals.
The story begins with Tony
looking at an old photograph of
him and Paul. The picture suddenly starts moving and Paul
punches Tony. Tony retaliates
by sending him an angry letter
(which gets to Paul by crawling
across town by itself).
Paul then goes over to Tony's
house and begins an epic fight
that lasts the rest of the video.
There are some great effects
such as the two guys running
on water, hovering over the
ground, and
skating across
the grass.
The video
took
two
months to film
and edit, and
it
contains
over
4,000
still shots to
create
the
fluid motions
of the characters. "Nothing
is fake and no
green screens were used," Paul
Cummings says, adding to the
impressiveness of the clip.
Tony Vs. Paul will marvel
anyone
who
appreciates
hard work and authenticity in their indie film
making. It can be found here:

duo have made many other

Republicans from across the

last week to nominate John
McCain and Sarah Palin as the
Republican presidential and vicepresidential candidates at the
Republican National Convention.
From Sept. 1 to Sept. 4, prominent Republican figures including
Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney,
Rudy Guiliani, and Cindy McCain
spoke to supporters on issues
facing America and pledged support for John McCain.
Although, most of the events
scheduled for the first day of
the convention were delayed on
account of Hurricane Gustav's
intrusion on the gulf coast, most
of the speakers scheduled to
make an appearance were able
to do so.
President Bush and VicePresident Cheney, originally
scheduled to speak on Sep. 1 at
the convention, canceled their
appearance, citing the need to
attend to matters related to Hurricane Gustav.

Peddling Propaganda
BY AMY SALISBURY
Opinion Editor
The summer of 2008 showcased
some of the most highly anticipated
films released in recent years. The
Dark Knight still has the potential
to outdo Titanic in highest boxoffice gross, George Lucas brought
back the incomparable Indiana
Jones, and Disney/Pixar's WALL-E
produced robot dialogue comprised
entirely of electronic sounds (and
we understood it too). However, I
go to the movies to be entertained,
not for a lecture.
The way I see it, WALL-E was a
kid friendly, wistful version of An
Inconvenient Truth.
That was a risky comment, so
it may be best to let history speak
before I do.
During World War II, Disney
was commissioned to create proAmerican war propaganda films
for every facet of the United States
government to be shown in cinemas
nationwide and as educational films
for servicemen. According to an
article published in Life Magazine
entitled "Walt Disney Goes to War,"
over 90% of Disney employees produced thesefilmswhile conscious of
the fact that the reels would be a persuasive tool to win over the American people. What's more, Disney
turned out multiplefilmswith antiGerman and anti-Japanese themes.
One particular short, "Commando
Duck," shows Donald Duck using
Air Force-approved aerial bombing
tactics to destroy an entire Japanese
airbase by himself.
In further research, I came across
a cartoon from 1942 again starring
Donald Duck and (subliminally) the
War Activities Committee of the
U. S. Treasury Department. The
animated film, called "The New
Spirit," proclaimed that it would

take "taxes to beat the axis." Donald
Duck portrays a skeptical taxpayer
who is convinced by a radio broadcast when he learns how important
income taxes are to the military. In
a later Gallup Poll, approximately
37% of the 26 million people who
saw the film reported an increased
willingness to pay taxes.
Disney's attempts to dehumanize wartime efforts are virtually
parallel to Pixar putting a humorous, friendly slant on the unproved
theories of certain politicians and
scientists.
The entire premise of the film
rests on how consumerism and
environmental neglect will be the
ultimate demise of man.
At best, this film should be
deemed a satire. Could I have it all
wrong? Could Pixar actually have
purposely gone overboard in their
depiction of the future? Even so,

Pride Staff
Writer
NBC's "The
Office" is set
to start its
new season
September
2 5 , according to the official website.
In addition, while the show
has grown in popularity, the
quality of the show is diminishing. The jokes are not
as funny, and the character
development has gone f rom
cleaver to absurd. The first
two seasons were the glory
days of the show as it rose.
Nevertheless, I think that it
where it peaked.
Ever since the last episode of season two, "Casino
Night," the show's quality has
been on a steady decline. I can
remember being so excited
for the start of season three,
but the episode "Gay Witch
Hunt" was a severe letdown.
Since then, I have been waiting for that episode where the
show becomes exciting and
interesting again. However, it
has been two years, and it has
not made any progress.
I can discern a definitive
difference in the style of the
show between the two halves.
First, the characters were originally unique and had a fine
blend of humor and humanity. They would do f unny
things, but each was someone viewers could identify
with. Yet, season three ushth
embarrassing and appalling is
the theme of the party, which is
"Rescue Me." Essentially what
it boils down to is a firefighter
party on September 11 . The
men and women who showed
ultimate bravery that morning
should not be mocked or impersonated in this fashion on the
anniversary of one of their finest
days. I think it is disrespectful to the people who ran in to
save others, when everyone else
was running out. And the party
theme "Rescue M e" brings up
connotations that seem insulting
to the victims of the attacks. I
would hope there is not a sailorthemed party on December 7 .
I am aware that proceeds of
the event will be going toward
charity, but the end does not j ustify the means. The night should
not consist of partying and dancing, but to mourn and be thankful. To consider the day and be
m indful is to push forward to a
better f uture. Though it acceptable to have f un, judgment and
taste should be shown in the
planning of these events.
th

was indeed a visually dazzling
movie. Pixar Studios produces
exquisite computer animations
sure to awe and entertain audiences just as the classic Disney
cartoons still do today. As is inherently clear, Disney is well versed
in making films whose message
is sure to resonate within its audience. As long as the entertainment
industry exists for just that, entertainment, persuasion has no place
in the theatre.
ered in an era where the
characters became caricatures of themselves. Steve
Carell's character, Michael
the boss, went from silly
but likeable to absurd and
annoying. His actions are
so over the top it becomes
unrealistic and hard to
follow the show. The same
is for all the personalities, such as
Dwight, who have had their fine
details blown out of proportion.
The show has also lost focus
on where it was going. In the
first two seasons, episodes happened independently with only
the undertones of a relationship
between characters Jim and Pam
carrying though. Since the show
has become more popular, it
seems as if it has compromised
itself to be more appealing. The
continuing storylines are so overblown and preposterous that the
show is a mess. There are too
many new characters and storylines to appreciate.
I still am a fan of the show,
but the commercialization of the
show has been its downfall. The
first two seasons now seem like
the glory days, and if it does not
improve soon, I would rather see
it end now rather than burn out a
few years down. But that seems to
be the theme of American shows.
The British version of "The
Office," which inspired the NBC
version, ended after two seasons,
amassing only 12 episodes and
a feature length episode to tie
up loose ends. Whenever NBC's
"The O ffice" ends, hopefully it
can t urn around before then so it
can go out on a positive note.

sary of NCLR's origination.
The event, held July 12-15,
included speeches from NCLR
President and CEO Janet Murguia,
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, San Diego Mayor Jerry
Sanders, Senator Barack Obama
and Senator John McCain.
Thefrenzyof a politically driven
event was visiblefromthe windows
of the convention center. Throngs of
protesters and supporters alike gathered on opposing sides of the street.
Media vans lined the loading zones
with police officers positioned outside the entrances like maitre ds.
Thousands of people lined up,
some having paid hundreds in
donations, to hear Obama speak on
Sunday, July 13. After an introduction from Maggie Rodriguez, CoAnchor for the CBS Early Show,
the presumptive Democratic nominee took the stage. True to form,
those in attendance received his
message with applause, cheers and
tears. Obama elaborated on his
well-stapled message of change by
adding that the system currently in
place has not and does not work,
especially for the minorities in this
country.
"The system isn't working when
a child in a crumbling school graduates without learning to read or
doesn't graduate at all. Or when a
young person at the top of her class
- a young person with so much to
offer this country - can't attend a
public college," Obama said.
After promising to be the right
candidate tofightfor a better America for everyone, Obama also called
upon the Latino community to help
in making that happen.
"I know how powerful this community is. Just think how powerful you could be on Nov. 4th if you

translate your numbers into votes,"
Obama noted. He added that in
2008, an estimated 170,000 Latinos in New Mexico alone were not
registered to vote. "I'm not taking
a single Latino vote for granted in
this campaign. We're meeting with
Latino leaders across the country.
We're reaching out to Latino organizations to get input on my policy
proposals. We've got a nationwide
Hispanic media strategy. We're
recruiting and training Latino organizers. We're holding Latino voter
registration drives across America. And when I'm President, I'll
be asking many of you to serve at
every level of government."
McCain spoke at the conference
the following day focusing on the
economy and immigration policies. Although his entrance was met
with protestorsfromthe back of the
room, McCain quickly gained the
attention of the guests in attendance
outlining his agenda.
"A recent report says small businesses have created 233,000jobs so
far this year while other sectors are
losing jobs. Small businesses are
the job engine of America, and I
will make it easier for them to grow
and create more jobs," McCain
said. "There are two million Latino
owned businesses in America,
many of them started by Latinas.
The first consideration we should
have when debating tax policy is
how we can help those companies
grow and increase the prosperity of
the millions."
McCain also responded to comments made against him by Obama
a day earlier regarding immigration
policies in reference to a comment
McCain made stating that he would
not support his own legislation if it
came up for a vote.
"My campaign (on immigration reform) was written off as a

briefly. Then Alex Hoang conducted his speech. He described
afictionalscene of a real tukwut
and her cubs freely roaming the
grounds that CSUSM rests on 200
to 300 years ago. The audience
seemed to enjoy his speech.
"Fellow students.. .the Tukwut
Courtyard is yours...it represents the promise of where we
came from, the success we have
achieved today and the prosperity
that is to come. The integrity of
our courtyard stands in the preservation of the name Tukwut," he
said.
Sam Fernandez, American
Indian Student Alliance President
and Neal Hoss, Vice President of
University Advancement spoke as
well. Lastly, Robert Freeman who
constructed the Tukwut Statue
explained how the statue was
built.
' The statue is going to get
you. He is crouched and ready to
pounce," he said in a playful tone.
"It was a nice opportunity to
hear about the native America
influence at CSUSM and to learn
the background and meaning of
[Tukwut]," said kinesiology senior
CaitlmAmiton.
Dozens of students, faculty and
staff, and tribal representatives
rushed the Tukwut Statue after
the ceremony ended. Flashes and
smiles quickly occupied the previously covered statue.
Rather than appear at the convention however, President Bush
made his address to the convention via satellite transmission.
"I know the hard choices that
fall solely to a president," said
Bush. "John McCain's life has
prepared him to make those
choices. He is ready to lead this
nation."
On Sep. 3, the Republican
delegates voted almost unanimously to officially nominate
McCain as the Republican presidential nominee, concluding a
lightly contested primary season
for the Republican nominee.
According to Nielsen Media
Research, a record 38.9 viewers
tuned into McCain's acceptance
speech, with the convention
averaging 34.5 million viewers

lost cause. I did so not just because
I believed it was the right thing to
do for Hispanic Americans. It was
the right thing to do for all Americans. Senator Obama declined to
cast some of those tough votes,"
McCain noted. "He voted for and
even sponsored amendments that
were intended to kill the legislation,
amendments that Senator Kennedy
and I voted against I never ask for
any special privileges from anyone
just for having done the right thing.
Doing my duty to my country is its
own reward. But I do ask for your
trust that when I say, I remain committed to fair, practical and comprehensive immigration reform, I mean
i t I think I have earned that trust."
Following his speech, McCain
opened thefloorto questions from
the audience. With issues ranging
from the Dream Act back to immigration, McCain admitted that while
they may disagree with his stances,
he was willing to sit down and discuss similar issues again.
In conjunction with the convention, was the 2008 Latino Expo,
which featured boothsfroma wide
array of sponsored companies and
organizations such as ConAgra
Foods, Lowes, Latinos for Obama,
and Estamos Unidos McCain.
The four-day event clearly was a
celebration ofLatino culture and the
forty years spent by NCLR advocating the rights of a growing minority. In her speech at the convention,
Murguia outlined her vision of a
better America and the importance
of the Latino vote on the upcoming
election.
"This is an historic election. It is
not only historic for the make up of
the candidates who are running; it
is historic for the role we will play
in it," the NCLR President and CEO
said. "Sixteen weeksfromtoday, on
Nov. 4,2008,1 promise you America will hear our voice loudly and
clearly in state after state across this
country."
throughout the 4-day event.
At various points in McCain's address, protesters in the
crowd caused somewhat of
an uproar. Adam Kokesh, a
formal Marine corporal and
Iraq War veteran, interrupted
McCain's speech, yelling, "Ask
him why he votes against vets",
A prominent critic of the war in
Iraq, Kokesh also displayed a
large sign that said on one side,
"McCain votes against vets,"
and on the other, "You c an't
win an occupation." Security
personnel apprehended Kokesh
and released him shortly t hereafter with no charges.
A group of code pink protesters were also escorted out of the
convention after attempting to
interrupt McCain's speech. The
Republican crowd responded
to these protesters by chanting
"U.S.A." and McCain jokingly
referred to the protesters as "the
ground noise and the static."
While McCain did not reserve
criticism for Obama, he did say
of his democratic rival, "Despite
our differences, much more
unites us than divides us. We are
fellow Americans, an association
that means more to me than any
other."
Of his new running mate,
McCain remarked, "I'm very
proud to have introduced our next
Vice President to the country. But
I can't wait until I introduce her
to Washington. And let me offer
an advance warning to the old,
big spending, do-nothing, mefirst, country-second Washington
crowd: change is coming."
Having been confirmed as the
vice-presidential nomination by
a voice vote earlier that day, Palin
said in her speech to the convention, "Mr. Chairman, delegates,
and fellow citizens: I am honored
to be considered for the nomination for Vice President of the
United States...I accept the call to
help our nominee for president to
serve and defend America."
Palin's speech included some
barbs directed at Obama. Contrasting her experience as mayor
of Wasila to Obama's experience
as a community organizer, Palin
said, "I guess a small-town mayor
is sort of like a 'community organizer,' except that you have actual
responsibilities."
The presidential candidates will
meet later this month on Sept.
26 at the University of Mississippi's Gertrude C. Ford Center
in Oxford, Mississippi for the first
televised presidential debates of
the general election season.
will take place Tuesday Sept. 9
during University Hour in Commons 206.
The topic for the coming workshop will be "How to Survive
Your First Year at CSUSM". As
the name suggests, the purpose
of the workshop will be to provide new students with advice and
resources to ease some of the difficulties oflife at college. Accord-
ing to Student Life and Leadership, the workshop will help students "learn to succeed your first
year" and "get tips on acclimating
to your new environment."
In that past, these Student Survival Series workshops have been
a successful and effective tool for
helping new students and Student
Life and Leadership is looking to
continue that tradition this semes-
ter.
The event will officially begin
at 12 p.m. and run until 12:50 p.m.

NFL Week! Top 10 Storylines
Tuesday\ September 9, 2008
BY LANCE CARTELLI
Pride Staff Writer
The long awaited opening
weekend for the NFL has come to
an end, there were some snoozers
(Giants vs. Redskins) and some
very dramatic games (Chargers
vs. Panthers), sorry Charger fans,
but a lot was learned from the
first week of games.
10. The No Fun League. After
officially getting his named
changed to Chad Ocho Cinco
from Chad Johnson, the NFL
wouldn't allow him to have what
will soon be the best selling
jersey in the league on his back.
Also, after scoring a touchdown
against the Browns, T.O, known
for his antics and touchdown
celebrations, had a lackluster
attempt mimicking Ussain Bolt,
I'm sure they flagged him for his
poor celebration rather than the
'excessiveness' of it.
A VJ
OA
THE PRIDE
9. Rookie QB's starting
career with victories. Falcons
rookie QB Matt Ryan, who is
absurdly making more money
than Tom Brady, threw his
f irst touchdown of his career it
j ust happened to be in his f irst
attempt ever for a 62 yard pass
to Michael Jenkins, and he also
got great support f rom newly
acquired RB Michael Turner.
Joe Flacco, not as impressive
as Ryan, led his team to an
upset victory over the Bengals,
whose o ffense was abysmal.
Both QB's give their team high
hopes that their f ranchise may
be t urning around.
8. NFC's Best Division. Everyone thinks it is the NFC East with
all four teams playoff contenders, but don't count out the NFC
South. The Saints beat defending
division champion Buccaneers,
the Panthers defeated a Superbowl contending team in the
Chargers, and the Falcons won
big, albeit against the Lions.
7. NFC Worst, oops the NFC
West. There is no question which
division is the worst in the NFC,
with three of the four teams 0-1,
including the Seahawks, who
have won the division the past
four years, 8-8 or 9-7 could once
again win this division. The division includes perennial losers like
the Rams, 49ers, and Cardinals,
let's just root for my 49ers!
6.The Saints restoring hope in
New Orleans.. .again. Just three
years ago, the Saints went from
being the 2 worst team in the
league to a playoff team, but that
was just their 2 best achievement from that season. They
helped restore a city decimated
by Hurricane Katrina. Now just
a couple weeks after Hurricane
Gustav, the Saints opened their
season against the Buccaneers
and came away with a victory
to help New Orleans keep their
minds off of another hurricane.
5. Preseason actually means
something. There was some
debate that in the future preseason may be cut down to 2 or
3 games, but it looks like teams
need these for games with how
rusty some of the highly touted
teams looked. Teams like the
Chargers, Colts, and Seahawks,
who did not play their starters
that much at all, all struggled
through their games.
4. Playoff teams from last year
losing. The Seahawks, Jaguars,
Buccaneers, Redskins, and Chargers are all teams that made the
playoffs last year and lost their
first game. That is 5 out of the
12-playoff teams to lose.
3. The New York Bretts, I mean
the New York Jets. Unless you
were living under a rock for this
past summer, all you heard was
the 'Brett Farve Saga'. Now that
the season's over you still won't
hear the end of it, and with Tom
Brady's season in question they
have a chance at winning the
division. Hmm, I am hearing
something from New York—J-ET-S...BRETT, BRETT, BRETT!
2. Tom Brady's left knee.
There are reports that Tom Brady
has a torn ACL and will be out
for the season. Without Tom
Brady, the Patriots were a goal
line stand away from going to OT
with the Chiefs, the worst team in
the AFC West. The Pats 20 game
regular season win streak will be
in jeopardy next week.
1. The mainstream media's
obsession with Tom Brady's left
knee. If you thought you heard a
lot about Brett Farve, well you'll
hear just as much about Tom
Brady's knee especially until it
is confirmed what is wrong with
him. So avoid ESPN and the
internet at all costs!
by Guillerme Mitrovitch.
Coming back from halftime,
things did not look any better
for the Cougars. In the 65
minute, David Alegria chased
down a deep ball and passed it
to Marchesani who scored easily,
giving him an assist and a goal in
the game.
With ten minutes left in the
game, the once quiet crowd,
affectionately called the 'Blue
Crew' for the Cougars team
color, seemed to breathe new
life into the Cougars, especially
senior co-captain Greg Reese,
who blasted a perfectly hit 25
yard shot to score the team's
only goal.
With just minute's left in the
game, the Cougars brought their
keeper, Tashi Nakanishi, from
the goal to get an extra attacker.
Nakanishi had the Cougars last
opportunity and just missed a
shot over the crossbar.
In the Cougars second game
of the week, they played a hard
fought match against UCSD,
losing in the late minutes 2-1 after
being up 1-0 in the 85 minute.
Although the score was 0-0
most of the game, the Cougars
dominated from the start getting more shots on goal and
more corner kicks throughout the
game.
In the 85 minute, Brandon
Zuniga drew a foul in the box,
which allowed for Christian
Soares to score on a penalty kick
to give the Cougars the 1-0 lead
with just a few minutes left.
"We were terrific," said Assistant Coach Bobby Renneisem.
"We owned the game".
But owning the game does
not guarantee victory, in the 87
minute UCSD scored after a free
kick near midfield that was played
into the box and was eventually
scored the equalizer by Aaron
McDowell.
Just minutes later in the 9 0
minute, Josh Jackson had a free
kick from 30 yards out that was
played into the box and Jared
Kukura scored what would be the
game winning goal.
The Cougars fall to 1-3 on
the season with their next game
against Wed. at 4 pm against
Azusa Pacific University at
home.

Many on campus are aware
of the cult-like following Chuck
Palahniuk's most famous book,
and the Fox movie of the same
name, has received.
That book is Fight Club. But
not so many are aware that before
Fight Club ever existed, Palahniuk had already written Invisible
Monsters. Some might go so far as
to say Invisible Monsters is Fight
Clubs older brother... or sister.
Chuck Palahniuk originally
wrote Invisible Monsters, but
when he tried to get it published
all the publishers said "This is too
graphic, we can't let this through."
That's when Palahniuk decided to
write the most graphic, disturbing novel he possibly could. That
novel was Fight Club.
In a weird twist of fate, the same
disgust which turned publishers
offto Invisible Monsters had them
raving about Fight Club. Now an
established author, Invisible Monsters was able to be brought into
the world.
To summarize Invisible Monsters without giving away too
much, all I can say is nothing is
as it appears. The story follows
Shannon McFarland, a beauty
model who gets her facerippedto
shreds in a car accident.
Wallowing in self petty, she
meets the beauty queen supreme
Brandy Alexander, whose ideology
of beauty in modern society brings
them on a sort of adventure the likes
of which you have never, ever read
before.
A word of warning. While the
storyline, writing style used, and
the morals are all exceptionally brilliant, this book is a dark cynicism of
modern society's views on gender
roles, life, family archetypes, sexually, God and especially beauty.
That's quite a list.
Ifyou are easily offended by these
topics, this probably isn't the book
for you. But if you aren't offended,
or are of curious nature and wish
to hear varying opinions on any of
these themes, I suggest this book
wholeheartedly.
With that said, it is rather graphic
in it's description of many things,
including the description of her face
after the accident and the things girls
will go through to acquire beauty.
For girls, this book is about breakingfreeof the bonds society puts on
you, especially in fields of beauty
and sexual appeal. Guys, I suggest
just enjoying the constant twist and
turns of the book. And everyone
well chuckle at the narrator's dark
humor.
Invisible Monsters has something
for everyone, but just remember as
you read: Nothing is as it appears.

Department
Eat of the Week

Pride Staff Writer
Over the summer a new branch
of the New York Pizza Department
opened in San Marcos. Located
on San Marcos Boulevard near
. Highway 78 in the shopping center
with Best Buy, NYPD serves fresh
handmade pizza daily. The attention to detail, quality ingredients,
and customer service make this a
great place to eat.
NYPD offers several different
types of pizza to meet anyone's
taste. They serve the classic cheese
pizza, which can have a wide
number of toppings added. This
includes meats, such as pepperoni,
vegetables, and others, including
anchovies.
In addition, they have over a
dozen specialty pizzas. These
range from traditional pizzas such
as meat lovers to some unique creations.
Some of the other highlights are
the Alf redo pizza and the Buffalo
chicken pizza. Both pay fair tribute
to their original dish combining all
theflavorsinto a delicious pizza.
Besides pizza, NYPD offers
many other delicious dishes. They
put the same craftsmanship into
the sandwiches and calzones that
they do their pizza.
Also available is a selection of
salads for those looking for something on the lighter side. And the
chicken wings are incredible. They
are on par with some of the best
served in Buffalo because of their

are fantastic and the large cannoli friendly. Combined with all the
great food NYPD
steals the show.
The atmosphere
of NYPD is also
pleasant. It may be
small on the inside,
but the decorations
bring life to the
story.
The prices are
fair, based on the
quality and the
number of specials available,
such as 99 cent
slices of pizza
on Monday and
Wednesday 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.

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

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
doubled ' and increased at
CSUSM in her time as President. The student population
has increased from 6,000 to
12,000 according to Haynes.
Buildings have doubled from
10 to 20.
Academic Degree Offerings have increased from
27 to 58. Athletic teams
have more than doubled.
The Alumni has grown from
13,000 to 35,000. The employees at CSUSM has increased from 700 to 1,900.
The endowment has been
raised from $10 million to
$20 million.
An endowment is the total
amount of money or property donated and invested for
a university. There are rules
for how it's utilized and it
mainly goes to aiding students.

that fit with what I do as a

The Cougar Chronicle
recently surveyed 240 students about their opinion of
military science courses and
whether or not they should
be allowed on campus. An
overwhelming
majority
was found in favor of Army
ROTC, and many participants were open to military
science courses being offered on campus. However,

Haynes' speech addressed
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
2025."
Hayne's goal to increase
educational rates in the area
is tied closely for her with
persons who are atriskof not
graduating college. Haynes
touched on the Ace dollars
service program for former
foster youths, as well as other vital causes.
"We now educate more
former foster youth per capita than any institution in the
United States," Haynes said.
Former foster children appear to face incredible odds
and disadvantages that affect
their ability to obtain a college education.

participants answered that
they were very or somewhat
familiar with Army ROTC,

not at all familiar. 213 participants answered that they
thought there should be an
Army ROTC program on
campus, 5 participants were
opposed to it and 20 participants did not feel informedenough to answer.
When asked about their
familiarity with military science courses, 103 participants answered that they had

military science courses at
all. After receiving a brief
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.

B Y JUSTIN DONNER
SPORTS EDITOR
Right up the streetfromthe
university, Sarah Garcia, an
alumni of CSUSM's undergraduate and graduate business programs, is painting a
vision with her husband Tom
Garcia.
Between his experience
in brewing and her business
education, the two have created Offbeat Brewing Company, featuring a community atmosphere that students
should take the time to visit
and experience.
While Tom gained experience as a professional brewer
and brewing consultant, Sarah received her undergraduate degree in business from
CSUSM and a MBA as well.
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

"I couldn't be happier to
see our female alumni blazing a trail just as successfully
as our male graduates. As a
female faculty member, it is
particularly gratifying to see
that the young women that
were in our undergraduate
and graduate programs just a
few years ago are now successful entrepreneurs, creating jobs in the local community and giving back to
the university," business professor, Dr. Rajnandini Pillai,
said.
Offbeat Brewery has a casual tasting room with picnic
tables, a wall-to-wall mural
done by a collection of artists and an open view of the
brew house.

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/

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.

Book Review
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
OS Samantha were singing together to "The Moon
Song."
The film has its heart-filled
moments. When Samantha
continues to grow in intelligence, she develops human
characteristics. She desires
to feel emotions in unknown
territory. Soon afterwards,
Theodore falls in love with
the funny, sweet, intelligent
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.
