C SUSM S tudents
to Vote on
Student Union
As student enrollment has
increased, so has the need for
more parking, Research studies,
involving parking and enrollment, have been conducted at
other California State Universities, and were used as a measuring tool to reflect the needs
of CSUSM.
One temporary solution this
semester was stack parking.
Many students feel that it has
been a success, but worry that
it is ending this week. Yesenia
Castro used stack parking the
first week of the semester and
said "I felt a little worried about
using it at first, but after parking a few times I became comfortable" She had heard other
people express t heir fears upon
getting items removed without
their knowledge. She became
reassured one day, when she
found that she had left her
checkbook in her car and nothing was touched.
CSUSM
In
addition,
Parking
Services painted
roughly sixty more stalls as
a temporary solution to help
alleviate some of the drudgery
of parking.
Do students really need a
$7.4 million Student Union?
The University Student Union
Advisory Board (USUAB)
thinks we do and they are asking
students to help pay for it. Full
time students at CSUSM • currently pay $20 per semester in
student fees, while part time students pay only $10. On October
9 and 10 students will have the
opportunity to vote on whether
or not they are willing to increase
their student fees to $50 (for
full and part time students). The
increase would take effect in
Fall 2001 to help pay for the
proposed building.

According to Andy Schick,
Parking Services, the 60 new
stalls

were the direct result of increased
enrollment; contrary to rumor that
it was due to frequent car accidents.
Other parking changes include

Referendum passes, construction on The Clarke Field House/
University Student Union would
begin in 2001 and could be completed as early as Spring 2003.
The planned facility includes a
gymnasium, a weight/exercise
room, men's and women's locker
rooms and a sports medicine
facility. Conference rooms, student government offices and club
meeting rooms are also a part of
the proposed project.
President Alex Gonzalez
addressed A.S.I. at Friday's
board meeting in an attempt to
get ASI's blessing. ASI members
seemed confident that their support would increase the referendum's chances of passing.
"We need desperately a place
for students to congregate," said
President Gonzalez, "what we
have here is a positive opportunity to build a Student Union."
Hesitant to support the referendum at first, A.S.I, quickly
turned the discussion to their
concerns on future rent and
utilities. Robin Milch, A.S.I.
Executive Vice President of
External Affairs, told the president "So far, the information
given to ASI has been inaccurate." Milch wanted assurance
from Gonzalez that A.S.I, would
not end up "...getting burned
with rent." A.S.I. was also concerned that not many students
seemed to know about the referendum. In the end, however,
A.S.I, voted unanimously to support the referendum.

This past July the CSU Board
of Trustees approved lowering
the minimum graduation requirement from 124 to 120 units.
In a press release from CSU,
Chancellor Charles Reed states
that "This revision will help students graduate sooner. The new
requirements are consistent with
most universities in the nation
and just make sense."
Based on a normal course
load of 15 units per semester,
the 124-unit requirement leaves
students in a four-year program,
four units short of graduation.
With implementation of the
120-unit requirement, Trustee
Ralph Pesqueira believes that
this policy will make it easier
for students to graduate in fours
years Or possibly even three
years by attending school year
round.
Before celebrating, CSUSM
students need to be aware that
the lowering of units for graduation is a baseline from which all
majors build upon. Many majors
will still require more than the
minimum 120 units required for
graduation.
Every academic program is
reviewed on a five-year cycle.
The review process allows
departments to evaluate the number of units required in keeping
students competitive not only
with the demands of the job
market, but also with students
graduating from other universities in the same field. The fiveyear evaluation process means
that gradual implementation of
the 120-unit requirement will
most likely not affect current
students in the system.
CSUSM President Alexander
Gonzalez stated "that majors
exceeding the 120 unit minimum
require approval before they can
be implemented."
Gonzalez went on to state
that accountability of unit
requirements is based on the
fact that the CSU strives for a
balance between training for the
work force and educating wellrounded citizens.

Pride Staff Writer
Bombarded by the rhetoric
f rom what is being called the
most glamorized presidential race
in U.S. history, many San
Diegans' have l eft their local concerns and alliances by the wayside as they prepare t o choose
who will lead the country.
However, as San Marcos resident and city council h opeful,
Mike Sannella says, the most
important decisions a re the ones
being m ade in your local community.
" I j oined t his race because
I have the desire t o help build
a healthy community," said
Sannella. "My w ife and I are both
four-year residents and alumnus
of Cal State San Marcos. We love
the city and i t's a place where we
would like to raise our kids, but
then there are also some issues
that need to b e addressed."
Sannella, 25, is r unning a
grassroots campaign in an e ffort

seats in the elections for San
Marcos City Council. He h as

the consumer, but is costly for

The plan that Sannella refers
t o is a set of pro-growth ideals
that he intends to apply in San
Marcos if elected.
O n the top of h is agenda
for San Marcos, Sannella says
he will address the community's
growing t raffic concerns. " I am

Sannella. "Widening the roads
would b e the most obvious
option, however, that can't always

encouraging carpooling, building more bike lanes and encouraging city b us use."
The second area of concern
for Sannella is San M arcos'
stance on business. Realizing
t he t ax base that retail provides,
the candidate says that he will
encourage prosperity by welcoming the addition of planned retail
shops and centers.
Some of t he projects that
Sannella endorses include the

Susanne Green, Executive
Director of the USUAB, who
also spoke to A.S.I., is hoping
that students will take the initiative t o f ind out more about the
referendum.
The USUAB -has posted a

students can get detailed information on t he referendum and
the planned building. Mike

" Our university breeds diversity

Sannella, " I t hink that when you

Gray Davis' deferred utility
payment solution, f laws in
California's energy deregulation
system were investigated last
week in San Diego during two
federal hearings.
Although no f irm conclusions have emerged f rom the
hearings, other than the realization that residents are indeed
paying too much for electricity
(utility bills doubled and t ripled), there were a number of
f ingers pointed:
at SDG&E
for not seeking the most a ffordable prices for consumers, at the
Public Utilities Commission for
not allowing SDG&E t o sign
cheaper, long-term contract with
suppliers, at suppliers for taking
advantage of a f lawed and f ledging de-regulated energy purchasing system, and at the state's
deregulation law itself, including
the state legislators who-passed
it. Investigations are still in progress.
Meanwhile, the new proposition to r un high-voltage transmission power lines f rom Riverside
county to San Diego county to
compensate for the period of
energy shortage before new generators are completed was p roposed b y SDG&E and the state's
top-power managing agency
(ISO).
The plan would cost h undreds of millions of dollars and
incur other environmental, residential, and aesthetic costs that
have consumer groups, environmental regulators, and area o fficials and residents protesting and
demanding to see proof that t his
is the most effective solution.
The high cost of living continues to beset residents at home,
work, and now on the road.
Recent rising gasoline p rices show no signs o f abating.
Some attention has b een d eflected f rom deregulation t o international gasoline issues including
OPEC production and the recent

30th, was one second behind
Garritson, and was followed by
MacDonald who was in the 38th
spot.
While the women's team
trailed a bit, they also finished
ahead of some good schools
including USC, UCSD, Long
Beach State, and Cal State
Fullerton.
The men's team, winners
of last year's Aztec Invitational
in the "Open Division," found
that
running
in
the
"Invitational Division" was a
much tougher task.
By the time the men began
the last race of the morning,
the heat had. definitely become
a factor in their performance.
Scott cautioned his runners to
abbreviate their normal warmup routine and to stay in the
shade until race time.
Brian Sullivan led the young
squad in a race that ended with
James Adams nearly collapsing
f rom heat exhaustion.
There were wet spots along
the course, and by the time the
men ran the fourth race, the
footing became unstable in some
areas along the course. This made
for generally slow times for all
the competitors.
Sullivan came in 18th place
with a time of 26 minutes and
50.5 seconds, followed by Adams
in 44th place and Marcus
Chandler in 68th place out of
150 runners. The men finished
in 10th place out of the 15 team
field.
According to Assistant
Coach Joe Keating, running
against the big schools is necessary. "They have to compete
against the stronger teams to get
better," said Keating.

C ross-Country Team
Working Together
By: Steve Compian
Pride Staff Writer
Running is an individual
sport, right? Don't try telling
that to the CSUSM cross-country team. Visit the track around
3:30 and you'll find no individuals out there, rather everything
(push-ups, sit-ups, and stretching exercises) is done as a team.
An observer will notice that
these athletes are having f un,
even finding laughter while exerk rising in 90- degree heat. These
runners are serious about their
warm-ups, but they can also
enjoy themselves.
Watch the team just before
the start of a race and you'll
see them run to the starting
line together. After the race is
over, the words "cool down, cool
down," can be heard, a reminder
that these runners must gradually return their bodies to normal operating temperature. A
group of racers will also jog
off to facilitate the cool down,
but always together. This is all
part of Head Coach Steve Scott's
model for success.
In talking with Coach Scott,
the moral of The Tortoise and
The Hare comes to -mind—it's
steady progress that will win
the race. Scott's philosophy is
to have his runners strong and
running their best races at the
national level in November.
"We don't want them to peak
too early," Scott said. It is a
philosophy that paid off handsomely in 1999, the team's first
year of competition. It's also the
reason that athletes are transferring to CSUSM.
Two of CSUSM's transfer
students exemplify the highs and
lows of choosing which college
to attend,
Senior James Adams attended high school at the foot of the
Julian Mountains in Ramona.
The Pride
Sports
He transferred to CSUSM from
California Baptist University so
that he could learn from Scott.
"My high school coach and Scott
have been friends for a while,"
said Adams, when asked how he
learned of Coach Scott. Adams
arrived with solid credentials,
but felt that Coach Scott (who
holds the American record in the
mile run) would give him the
best shot at helping him break
the four-minute barrier in the
mile run.
Along with the "mountain
man," came a CSUSM junior,
Cara Rumble, who attended
Orange Glen High School in
Escondido. Rumble is another
accomplished runner who felt
that being coached by Steve Scott
was too tempting to pass up.
She left Concordia University
in Irvine to attend CSUSM.

Rumble, "I liked the way that he
trained and I enjoyed the way he

Both Adams and Rumble
took different routes that eventually brought them to the same
team. They enjoy being at
CSUSM, but their initial attraction was to join a program
coached by Scott. Adams and
Rumble also joined the CSUSM
cross-country team to have f un,

when they participated in the

CSUSM Golf "Tees Up" for New Season
By: Steve Compian
Pride Staff Writer
The Cal State San Marcos
Golf team is ready to tee up
for the new season. Coach Fred
Hanover and his team travel to
Belton, Texas this week to compete in the University of Mary
Hardin-Baylor Tournament. The
five man, five woman team is
looking to continue the winning
ways established by last year's
team.
In only its second season
of competition, CSUSM's men's
golf team finished in 11th place
and the women finished 8th
among all NAIA (National
Association of Intercollegiate
Athletics) schools.
While winning on the college level is new to his team, it is
not a new experience for Coach
Hanover.
Hanover twice led Cal State
San Bernardino to third place
finishes in the NCAA Division
II Tournament. His formula for
success involves recruiting players who know more than just
how to swing a club.
Hanover expects his athletes
to be competitive academically
as well as physically, thus allowing him to focus on coaching
them and not worrying about
whether they will be eligible to
play. Hanover also looks for a
competitive spirit in all of his
players.
Three of the new recruits for
the team include Tony Sellers, a
transfer from Pima Community
College, and freshmen Nick
Mitchell from De La Salle High
School in Fairfield, and Jack
Spreng from St. Maria Goretti
High School in Maryland.
Hanover fans their competitive fires by making them try
out for the team, and that's just
the beginning. Since only five
players per team (women and
men) can travel to tournaments,
his linksters have to battle each
other for the right to represent
CSUSM; that competition is
extremely close this year. "It's
coming right down to the wire,"
said Hanover.
How does this year's tearh
look? Hanover believes that they
will be solid again. "It'll take
a little time to develop, but by

The Trojan

Pride Staff Writer
Never before have I left a
play feeling so uncertain about
the production.
Marianne McDonald's modern adaptation of The Trojan
Women opened on Sunday,
September 3, at The Old Globe
Theater in front of a f ull house.
Euripides, a Greek dramatist, wrote the original play by
the same name. Euripides' play
tells the story of the fall of
Ancient Troy to the Greeks in
416 BC. However, McDonald's
modern adaptation, directed by
Seret Scott, takes a look at war
from a different perspective.
Talk of smart bombs and
SCUD missiles are some of
the clues as to the direction of
changes from the original text.

Pride Staff Writer
On Saturday, September 16,
approximately 2000 people
crowded into a small, oak-filled
natural amphitheater to attend
the first day of the two-day
Julian Bluegrass Festival. With
performances by four remarkably talented bluegrass bands
and the combination of warm,
sunny weather in the mountains,
the festival forced a grin upon
every attendee's face, merely
proving Steve Martin's infamous
comment, "Hell, it becomes pretty difficult to feel teary-eyed
listening t o banjo music."
The first day of the festival
began with an assortment of
competitions from beginning
banjo to professional fiddle.
Probably the highlight of the
competition occurred when an
eight-year-old girl performed the
ubiquitous Turkey in the Straw.
Most of the spectators were
in awe of the youngster's performance, not because of her
age and relaxed presence, but
because she revealed the spirit
of the festival: the timelessness
of bluegrass music.
The genre has an unknown
element that becomes addictive,
and forces the performer or listener to consistently examine
the ageless art form. After the
competitions concluded several
bands performed, including
Highway 52, Silverado, and Lost
Highway.
Conspicuously talented, none
of the acts created the fervor
or enjoyment spawned by the
Laurel Canyon Ramblers This
particular band—Herb Pederson
on banjo, Michael Witcher on
dobro, Kenny Blackwell on mandolin, Bill Bryson on bass, and
Roger Reed on guitar—mixed
the spirit of rock and roll into
bluegrass.
Flying through various standards and numerous originals,
Laurel Canyon Ramblers eventually played gospel, rock, reggae and straightforward bluegrass songs; making the band
enormously different from most
of the acts performing at the
festival, whom never stray away
from certain established boundaries of traditional bluegrass.
Eloquently mixing talented musicianship with stellar three-part
harmonies, the Laurel Canyon
Ramblers literally stole the show
at the first day of the Julian
Bluegrass Festival.
Interestingly, maybe because
the Laurel Canyon Ramblers
were the major act for the bluegrass festival's first day, many
in the crowd left the amphitheater after their performance and
meandered through the parking
lot, where stunning players gathered in circles to jam.
No pedestrian with an instru-
ment case becomes safe wandering through the crowd of players: even yours truly became
involved in a humorous version
of Bill Monroe's Working On a
Building, complete with vocals
and jaw-dropping banjo playing
by two teenagers.
After watching several
groups perform, one can become
mesmerized by the technical
ability exhibited by so many
people. Whether banjo, fiddle,
bass, guitar, or mandolins, a
plethora of great, obscure performers displayed their skills.
Upon leaving at six o'clock in
the evening,T realized the depth
that music is capable of. Most of
the music featured on assorted
radio-stations only equals one
percent of the total music created in our world. Interestingly,
bluegrass may be one of many
forms that will never die and
will continue to gather listeners
searching for a simple form of
music, which, like the wind, carries the thoughts and feelings of
lost years.
Bluegrass music has a long
history, beginning with the music
of Scotland and Ireland circa
1600. As the genre evolved, bluegrass added elements of jazz,
blues, and hillbilly mountain
music. While the common vision
by society concerning bluegrass
originated from the banjo-playing boy in "Deliverance," the
music has more sophistication
and certainly a higher technical
fortitude than most musical
genres.
At one moment a bluegrass
group may sing a gospel number
like I Hear a Voice Calling and
then immediately launch into a
breakneck version of the popular fiddle tune Red Haired Boy;
playing as fast as many punk
bands. Such a variety of material and speed within the idiom
makes bluegrass enjoyable for
those who love music.
r-
express two very different types
of nakedness.
The
entire
production
seemed to flow nicely, but each
of the characters had a moment
when his or her performance
was unbelievable. I. left the
theater anxious to get to the
ladies room to hear other people
talk about what they had seen,
yet nobody talked about it. It
may have been mediocre direction or an awkward script, but
there was something that really
held the play back from being
great. Yet, I cannot say that I
did not enjoy the performance.

Candide:
B ernstein's C omic O pera
By: Nathan Fields
Pride Staff Writer
I have never seen opera
so socially critical while retaining genuinely contagious humor.
Candid in its shocking comedy
and flaunting offenses against
everyone who matters, Leonard
Bernstein's operatic adaptation
of Voltaire's satiric and philosophically profound novel,
Candide, inspires ironic and disturbing Pulp-Fiction-tyye laughter.
A pleasing combination of
Scenefrom Candide
flawless orchestration, talented
actors and singers, and lively
stage production, this comic
opera, playing
the Casa Del
Prado Theater in Balboa Park,
offers Bernstein's successful
opera in the 100th anniversary
year of its composer's life.
Unlike most romantically
nauseating operas, this sardonic
tale of a young man's mid-eighteenth-century journey through
Germany, Spain, Turkey, France,
colonial South America, and
Italy,

Candide
» Continued from Page 5
chronicles his process of
experientially unlearning the
pretentious and naive bourgeois philosophies of popular
enlightenment thinkers.
Scenes of warfare, slavery,
religious hypocrisy, murder,
violent rape, sexually transmitted diseases, large-scale misogyny and racism may make some
, viewers consider the deeper
philosophical implications of
Voltaire's poker-faced comedy
as social analysis.
On the surface a witty,
bantering tale of misadventure, Candide reveals itself to
actually be a . savage, satiric
thrust at the philosophy of
"Optimism" (the play's alternate title); which proclaims that
nationwide disasters and individual sufferings are both just
part of a cosmic plan that is
essentially good.
Voltaire was not easily prepared to excuse the world's
vices quite so easily, nor would
he encourage people to accept
evil as fate without trying to
prevent it or fight it.
Candide also represents
curiously accurate, yet damaging caricatures of the
European intelligencia, the
Catholic Church, Judaism,
Women, Men, Europeans, royalty, and everyone else.
Although published in 1759,
the contemporary applications
of Candide seem very close at
hand. In a time where there
seems to be an abundance of
pseudo:philosophical explanations for manmade injustice
and intellectual copout acquiescence disguised as wisdom,
Candide seems to shout,
"Action is necessary! All is
not well, but all things can be
bettered!" and then laugh at its
own candidness.
If you like opera, see
Candide. If you don't like
opera, see Candide. This comic
opera ends next weekend.
Remaining performances
are Friday, September 22 at
8pm, Saturday, September 23
at 2pm, and Sunday, September
23 at 2pm.
Candide is performed at

The Barnstorming
By: Melanie Addington
Pride Editor
The Film
:
How could an independent
film possibly compete with
Hollywood blockbusters? "After
this, anything is possible," states
Kevin Jordan, director of Smiling
Fish and Goat on Fire. This
movie, being one of the greatest
romantic comedies released this
year, made with a budget of only
$40,000.
The film stars real-life brothers, Derick Martini (Chris), and
Steven Martini (Tony), as brothers helping each other on their
way to finding true love.
When they were born, their
half Native-American grandmother nicknamed free-spirited
Tony as Smiling Fish and serious
Chris as Goat on Fire. After their
parents die on the 405 freeway,
Chris raises Tony in their impoverished house in Los Angeles.
Tony is a fun-loving actor
who enjoys many women that
come his way, especially his
pseudo-girlfriend, who runs
screaming out of the house after
finding a ribbed condom that
she did not buy him. Later he
meets a single mom (played by
Christa Miller from The Drew
Carey Show), who fate seems to
destine as his true love.
Chris, Tony's brother, works
as an accountant and is trying
to salvage a dead-end relationship with his high school sweetheart Alison (played by Amy
Hathaway).
Interwoven into the comedy
is a beautiful story about Clive
Henderson, that is based on a
real movie sound man that director Kevin Jordan met. Clive
(brilliantly performed by Bill
Henderson) is a ninety-year-old
At the pre-screening of
Smiling Fish and Goat on Fire in
Hillcrest Thursday night, director
Kevin Jordan, and stars Derick
and Steven Martini, and Bill
Henderson discussed the f ilm
with the audience. Derick stated, "the purpose is to meet
the audience because it is hard
to compete with Hollywood,"
and Jordan jumped in, stating,
"we are doing this grassroots
style!" Bill Henderson informed
the audience that in the begin-

romantic who tells Chris amazing stories about his deceased
wife and the motion pictures
they worked on in their youth.
Eventually, Clive helps Chris
along the path to finding true
love when he meets a gorgeous
Sicilian woman (Anna), at a
Christmas party.

best independent films I have
seen to date. Although several
scenes between the brothers have
lulls in the conversation, it works
for the film by giving the audience a sense of reality in their
relationship.
ning of movie theatres, they
called this barnstorming."
After winning the Toronto
Film Festival Award and Best
Film at the Milan Film festival,
the trio (Jordan and Martini
Brothers) signed a deal for two
more films with much larger
budgets. The key to making this
film work with a small budget
was trying to get as much as
possible for free, and "get a lot
of favors," according to Derick
Martini.
The three grew up together
in New York, and "we really
get each other," states Steven
Martini. This made a world of
difference on the set because
there were no creative differences and the dynamics of the
set remained very professional
but everyone had a real sense
of trust. Henderson piped in by
stating that it also helped to
have "this director [that] loves
actors.''
When asked how much
money they will make on this
film, Jordan jokingly said, "at
least fourteen dollars."
One member of the audience
asked the filmmakers, "What
motivated them to write this
script?" Derick stated, it is a
story they wanted to tell and
wanted to have as a reflection of
true life; they even went so far as
to say that Steven was really hit
in the head with a toaster (just
as depicted in the film).
Another audience member
asked, "Since these characters'
experiences are similar to your
true-life experiences, how many
scenes are ad-libbed or did you
follow the script?" The Martini
brothers chuckled, and Derick
replied, "a lot of it was
improvisational, but they
knew what we had to get
out of each scene."
One woman came up
to Derick after the discussion, and with a concerned look, asked if
their parents were still
living. Martini immediately responded, "Oh
yes, they are quite alive...
divorced...but still good friends.
We had to take a lot of flack
for killing them off in the film
though."
Smiling Fish and Goat on
Fire opened in theatres on
September 15, and is playing
exclusively
in
Hillcrest
Landmark Theatres. This movie
marks Kevin Jordan's directorial
debut; he is also a co-writer with
life-long friends, the Martini
brothers. The f ilm is 90 minutes
long and is rated R.

�C ameron C rowe is Almost Famous
By: Jennifer Miller
Pride Staff Writer
Filmed partly in the gas-lamp
district of San Diego, Almost
Famous is a fantastic, brilliantly
mastered f ilm written and directed by Cameron Crowe. Almost
Famous is Crowe's f irst movie
since his blockbuster hit Jerry
Maguire, and it proves t o be a
captivating, intelligently written
script f ull of laughs and tears.
This semi-autobiographical
f ilm was written during a pivotal
time in the history of rock and
roll. Crowe sets his story in 1973,
in San Diego, and chronicles the
f unny and often poignant coming of age of 15-year-old William
Miller, whose intelligence and
genuine enthusiasm lands him
the gig of a lifetime.
Like his young protagonist,
Crowe also got his start in journalism when he landed his first
j ob at the age of 15 as a journalist
for Rolling Stone Magazine.
One of Crowe's most i nfluential friends and mentors was
the legendary rock critic Lester
Bang, whose character offers
advice and friendly words of
experience to the main character
William.
While still in his teens,
Crowe, an avid music f an, profiled many of the era's most
Scene from Almost Famous
influential artists and toured
with bands across the U.S. "I
didn't want it to be like some
of those semi-autobiographical
stories that glorify the writer
because the truth is* I never felt
like the center of any room I
was in at the time. I was an
observer. That's what the character of William Miller is—he's
an observer."
William is befriended by his
idol, Lester Bangs (played by
Philip Seymour Hoffman from
Boogie Nights) and l ands his
first assignment, an interview
with Black Sabbath.
At the concert, he also
befriends the up-and-coming
fictional band, Stillwater^ led
by the charismatic lead guitarist, Russell Hammond (Billy
Crudup), and lead singer Jeff
Bebe (Jason Lee). William also
meets a group who call themselves the "Band Aids," led by the
beautiful and bewitching Penny
Lane (Kate Hudson). When
Rolling Stone offers William a
huge opportunity to write a cover
story of Stillwater, he joins the

Sunny Day Real
Estate Releases The
Rising
By: Adam Bailey
Pride Staff Writer
Sunny Day Real Estate falls off
pace with their fourth and latest
album, The Rising Tide. Having
recently switched labels f rom Sub
Pop Records to Time Bomb
Recordings, this Seattle-based band
offers u p a more complex, melodically arranged CD to date.
From the very moment fans bring
this CD home, open it up, and read
the liner notes, they will notice the
difference right away. They will
notice a much more complex set of
word arrangements and a greater
emphasis being placed upon the
words of each song as the catalyst
for this album's music. A change that
is noble, but ultimately falls short of
the intended result when listening to
the finished musical product.

Tide
The f irst two songs on this CD,
Killed by an Angel and One are not
much different f rom Sunny Day's
previous endeavors under Sub Pop's
production. Fairly stripped down
by today's standards, these two
songs,' emotionally-charged aggression compels listeners to listen to the
rest of the album.
However, a fter listening to the
first two songs on the album, the
mode takes an almost 180-degree
turn. The album f rom the third
selection on is much more complex,
revealing a much more heavily produced and textured sound. A sound
that works some of the time, like
the singles Rain Song or Faces in
Disguise. Both songs invoke some
passion with soulful melodies and
the bowstrings' melancholy sound.
However, the sound really grows old
and tiresome a fter so many monotoous selections.

Frances McDormand plays
Elaine, William's mother, and
she adds family hostility. Her
relentless advice and presence
scares everyone she comes in
contact with. "Don't do d rugs!"
Elaine says redundantly.
Soon William becomes part
of the inner circle of the band he
idolizes, disregarding the caution
from his mother and Lester Bangs
who warn him not to befriend the
bands. William comes of age as
he observes the chaos and on-the-

road lifestyle of Stillwater. The
friendships that William makes
are genuine^ and heartfelt as he
also falls hard for Penny Lane,
the passionate and adoring fan.
William is soon f aced with
the task of honest and unmerciful journalism as he writes the
cover story for Rolling Stone.
Confused and anxious, William
sets out to tell the truth about the
band and its members who are
now his friends.
I laughed throughout the
entire movie and felt an instant
connection with the characters.
Everyone will be entertained and
mesmerized with this film and
its characters.
The movie's soundtrack
includes compositions by Peter
Frampton and Nancy Wilson
(a member of the band Heart
and who is also Crowe's wife).
Interlaced with blasts of Led
Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and
other classic rock bands, the
music is brilliant.
Almost Famous is now playing at theaters, and I recommend this f ilm to everyone. The
movie is rated R because of brief
nudity, drug scenes, and language. Almost Famous is a mustsee movie that will turn into
a rock-n-roll classic and is one
movie I can't wait to buy on
DVD.

What if no one voted?
By Steve Compian
Pride Staff Writer
What happened if there was
an election and no one voted?
With the general election scheduled for November, I decided to
ponder the question. Knowing
the history of voter participation in this country, when barely
sixty per cent of all eligible voters who actually cast a ballot
constitute a high water mark,
I wanted to ask, "What would
happen if no one voted?"
I understand that this is a
purely hypothetical question, but
if we can struggle to understand
why one person gets booted off
of Survivor Island or why the
San Diego Chargers can't outscore the San Diego Padres then
it may be a question worth pondering.
Here's a scenario: The general election to decide the next
President of the United States
has just occurred and no one
voted. The power of voter enthusiasm has waned into blackout
proportions. We saw the names
of all the candidates and decided that they sucked, so we just
bailed out of the voting process
all together. What would occur?
Letter to the
Editors
I want to take this opportunity
to thank the Pride, in particular Nicole Moreno for the front
page article of the Pride titled,
"What about the Women?
This is truly a success story.
This week the list went from
having 6 to 19 women! I am
excited to have such a good
response!
The women will be attending
a team meeting sometime next
week. They will each receive
phone calls to coordinate the
meeting.

More specifically, what
mechanism for the continuation
of democracy would kick in?
Would the old President simply
remain in office as the undefeated champion or do the polls
remain open until someone votes,
as in sudden death overtime in a
sporting event? Our constitution
must address this somehow. I
didn't really know the answer,
so I decided to engage the help
of my fellow students.
should a person who wasn't popular enough to swing one popular vote be President?)
Most of them began with
the predictable, "It would never
happen." The question is not if
it will happen, but rather what
are the ramifications of such an
event occurring? It would also
be fair to clarify that this is not a
scientific poll. It falls more into
the "Daddy what i f..." category.
Wendy (Sociology Major): "I
don't know, maybe they'd have
to vote again."
Here are the responses of
students I spoke to at the Dome:
George (Business Major):
"Wouldn't Clinton just stay
President? (No, he's at the end
of two terms).
Ryan (Mathematics Major):
"Gore would automatically
become President, because he's
the current Vice President."
(Hmmm. Interesting thought, but
Diana (Part-time Student):
"That's why we have an Electoral
College." (O k. we have an
Electoral College and then
what?) No response.
Patricia (Education Major):
"Maybe they'd have to do it
[election] over?"
Rachel (Women's Studies):
"No idea."
It's probably not unusual that
so many of us don't have a
clue as to what would happen,
because the chances of such an
event ever occurring is so remote
that it is regarded as pure fiction.
Could it be, however, that we
have never given the topic much
thought because there is always
the security of believing that
someone else will vote? And
what if that mysterious someone doesn't do what we had
assumed? Then, where would
that leave us?

New Budget Gets
Academic Year Off to
Good Start
By Dr. Charles B. Reed
Chancellor, California State
University
I want to take this opportunity
to welcome all of you to a new
academic year at the California
State University, especially those
students who have enrolled at a
CSU campus for the first time this
fall. We are very proud to have
all of you as members of the CSU
family.
I know that in a place as large
as the 23-campus CSU system,
it can be difficult to find up-todate information about our system.
That's why I hope that occasional
columns like these can provide you
with some of this important information.
I'm proud to report that our
year is off to a good start already,
thanks to a landmark budget signed
by Gov. Davis over the summer.
This is one of the best budgets
the CSU has ever seen. Our total
general fund budget, for 2000/01 is
approximately $2.5 billion; and the
general fund increase totals $333.7
million, our largest increase ever.
The governor and the legislature
have also passed new legislation
to increase financial aid for many
more students in California next
year.
What does this mean for the
CSU? It means that our top two
priorities — access for students and
compensation for employees — will
be funded as follows:
Access — The budget includes a
$73.1 million general fund increase
to accommodate the 12,577 additional full-time equivalent students
expected to enroll during this academic year. Our system is expected
to continue to grow at this incredible pace, taking on a total of about
130,000 new students by 2010.
Compensation — The budget
includes $113.2 million for a six
percent compensation pool for all
CSU employees. This continues to
help close the faculty salary gap.
In addition, the budget includes
funds for year-round operations,
community service learning, CSU
Channel Islands, CSU Stanislaus
Stockton Center, the Coachella
Valley Center of CSU San
Bernardino, and technology training for teachers. It also supports
the California Workforce Initiative,
which funds high-cost programs in
such fields as nursing, agriculture,
engineering, computer science, and
the biological sciences.
This budget will allow us to
continue to uphold our priorities of
serving students, assisting the public schools, improving and expanding teacher preparation, eliminating the need for remedial education, and making the most of new
advances in technology. It will also
allow us to add a new focus on preparing students for the workforce
of California.

about our budget, you can read
about it on our web site at http://

general information about the system, you can go directly to our
home page, www.calstate.edu.
I wish you best of luck in
your studies, and I look forward to
visiting each of your campuses in
the coming academic year.
C liches - Paradoxes
of C onventional W isdom
By: Bryan Clark
Pride Staff Writer
I'm tired of them. I'm tired
of hearing them all the time.
People too often use them without knowing what they mean.
I'm talking about cliches.
Far too often people cling
to the "conventional wisdom" of
cliches. But most people don't
realize that cliches, while meant
to be uplifting and truthful, constantly contradict themselves.
I have a quick list of cliches
that really capture the need for
truth and inspiration, yet when
presented with others, unfortunately cancel out the message.
Enjoy:
"Always make a good first
impression" versus "Never judge
a book by its cover".
"Life is hard" versus "It's as
easy as 1-2-3".
"Never give up" versus "If you
can't beat them, join them".
now or never".
"We always hurt the ones we
love".
"Expect great things" versus "Better safe than sorry" versus
"Don't count your chickens until "Risking life and limb".
they've hatched".
"Better late than never" versus
"Don't give up your day job" "Time is of the essence".
versus "Follow your dreams".
"Two wrongs don't make a right"
"The best things in life are f ree" versus "Who's to say what is
versus "Nothing is free in life". right or wrong?"
"Life is short" versus "Live long "Love hurts" versus "No pain,
and prosper".
no gain."
"Life will get better as you go "Free love" versus "It's a labor

"There is safety in numbers"
"There is no time like the pres- versus "Your better off alone".
ent" versus "Time will tell".
"Its hope against hope" versus
"Take it one step at a time" "When worse comes to worse".
versus "It's all or nothing",
"Never look a gift horse in the
"All good things come to those mouth" versus "Look before you
who wait" versus "Don't hesitate leap".
or all is lost".
"Being in love means never hav"Bide your time" versus "It's ing to say you're sorry" versus
HAVE AN OPINION? SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITORS TO
"Crime doesn't pay" versus "Illgotten gains".
So the next time someone
tries to give you some "conventional wisdom", don't take it.
Do the opposite and see what
happens.
Look the g ift horse in the
mouth; see if it has cavities. If
someone tells you, "Don't worry
be h appy" immediately scream
at them and freak the hell out!
Crime doesn't pay? There are
more criminals t han days of the
year!
If they tell you everything is
going to be all right, go home,
pack your things, and move far,
FAR away because it won't be
all right for a very, very long
time.
I guess I could be overreacting to all these conflicting and
I should take it with a grain
of salt, but maybe I should just
stand up and face the facts.

to say, "The students voted on it, it wasn't done
without their approval." I really don't think

Consider how cheap it is to go to school here
compared to anywhere else locally. Hiition is less
than $900/semester. Books cost about the same
as anywhere else. We don't have to burn a tank
of gas every day driving through freeways as
congested as 15, 8, and 5. We all have a free
exercise program too, just park in the lower lots
off Barham and walk up the stairs every day.
When you put all that together, along with
the convenience factor of having a university in
North County where most CSUSM students live,
you see we have a great deal going here. Even

By: Steve Compian
we're supposed to
look beyond the
regurgitated, spoon-fed party line, and ask the
hard questions in order to unveil t he truth.
The issue here isn't about buying new jock
straps for the team or painting a mural on the side
of a building. It's about spending money.
When you're old enough and have dolled-out
enough taxes to pay for every imaginable outhouse ever built, maybe you'll be in a better
position to understand what it is I have to say.
We really need to think about what it is we're
going to do.
I'm not against building or growth, but before
people go to the polls, we need to clarify a few
things. First, the increase in student fees is not
easily reversible. As soon as the university gets
the yea vote, those bulldozers that we've been seeing around campus are going to dig some holes.
Also, the fee increase will not decrease after the
structure is paid for; it will remain FOREVER,
except when it is scheduled to increase again. If it
doesn't pass, we can always try again later.

of dealing with SDSU. It will still be only $50.
SDSU students pay $142.
I hear people saying, "Well if it's so cheap
why would we want to make it more expensive?"
Let me ask these people this: Did you really
think that students on a new, growing campus
wouldn't be hit up for fee increases at some point?
I would accuse anyone who didn't think that
would happen of being naive. It's inevitable that
we would have to foot the bill for some things.
The State would never pay for every amenity that
we students want.
Don't worry if money's tight and you're getting financial aid. The fee increase gets factored
into that equation. For the rest of us, saving
$30/semester to make up for the difference is not
so tough. Just cut that $3 cup of coffee out of
your morning ritual one day a week. Or the next
time someone asks you "Do you want fries with
that?" just say, "No." Maybe stick to domestic
beer instead of import. Wait, nevermind, we have
to draw the line somewhere.
The point is, $30 for something that will make
life better for all concerned is a bill worth paying.
And if future students are really pissed off that
we did this to them, they can vote to reverse it.
Somehow, I don't think they will.
"Fieldhouse/Student Union?" Is it descriptive of
its use or is it because officials felt that we
wouldn't cough up the dough for a field house,
so they got the idea that setting aside space for a
student union would make it sell better? If we're
going to pay for a gym that can serve the purpose
of a student union and double as a church on
Sunday, fine. Just tell us that we're voting on
a gym.
Finally, we need to think about all those students who will follow us later. These fee increases
will continue to rise. What about tuition? That's
a different issue and comes under a different
account. If tuition increases, they won't be able to
cry about fees because we voted for it. Times are
good right now. There is plenty of money via jobs,
scholarships, grants, and cheap loans. But when
the economy goes b&d, as it does occasionally,
all that money will dry up and the students that
follow may not be able to afford school then,
making the building of a structure now a moot
point.
Again, I am not opposed to construction,
expansion, or looking towards the future. What
I feel strongly about is that people need to ask
the university the hard questions before voting.
Everyone should vote. But if the only decision
that we can make is an uninformed one, then the
foundation that we lay today may not support the
future that we seek to build for tomorrow.

Influenza
Vaccine
Shortage
and Supply
Delays
In a statement released by
the Centers for Disease Control
(CDC), there will be a delay in
influenza vaccine shipments
and possibly a nationwide
shortage of the vaccine for the
2000-01 seasons. The CDC
is encouraging all health care
providers to provide the vaccine to the patients who are
at highest risk of death from
influenza only at this time
and to delay mass immunizations of adults until November
2000.
Individuals with high-risk
medical conditions and pregnant females in the second
and third trimester ofpregnancy are at a high risk for serious complications from influenza infections, including hospitalizations and deaths. These
individuals are encouraged to
obtain the vaccine.
If you have questions as
to what the high risk conditions are, please contact your
health care provider as soon
as possible. Students may
also direct their questions to
the Student Health Services
at (760) 750-4915. TDD (760)
750-4924. Staff and students
may call the clinic in
November to check on the
availability of vaccine. At this

"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent
one"
"In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity."
"There are only two ways to live your life: One is as
nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything
is a miracle."
"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from
mediocrities. The latter can not understand it when a man
does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but
honestly and courageously uses his intelligence."
"Imagination is more important than knowledge, for
knowledge is limited while imagination embraces the
entire world."
"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity
has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be
in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity,
of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough
if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery
every day. Never lose a holy curiosity."

organizing a donation drive for
books, clothing, and toys.
Former President of FEC,
Raeanna Wertz began the Future
Educators Club at Mira Costa
College. When Raeanna transferred to CSUSM she carried
the FEC project with her. "I
realized that Jo Dube, Jennifer
Moon and myself had to do
something," states Raetfnna.
"We spoke with different
people on campus, telling them
about our idea. We took out
the paperwork from ASI and
SRL and then the College of
Arts and Sciences approached
us. They had lost a large part of
their advising department and
needed to find a way to pass
information to the students and
we were looking for a place to
connect with; so it was a match
made in heaven."
FEC's plans for this academic year include motivational
speakers, hosting a CPR class

The 8th annual
Health Fair to be held

Pride Staff Writer
This past summer, a new Biotechnology major was approved by the Chancellor's office for Cal State San Marcos.
Dr. Albert Kern, director of biotechnology programs here at CSUSM, was
able to get this program started with an
internship with 11 companies.
The major is needed because the
market research and the leaders of the
Biotech industry need well prepared
graduates in lab and business. The
Biotech program not only includes the
internship, but also guest lecturers and
mentors from the Biotech industry.
Kern stated that he does not know
how many students will actually

The health fairs will have a plentiful

asked to supply event goers with something that they can take with them back to
their frat, sorority, dorm, apartment, house,

"It's a showcase of our university," Admissions Counselor, Karen Francisco-Butler
said. There will be volunteers
bringing people on campus
tours. Housing tours will provide dorm information to all
interested students. Field house
tours will also be offered all day.
Thirty student volunteers are
signed up to help with Preview
Day. Volunteers include student workers, clubs, and organizations from campus. "At an
event like this we can't have too
many volunteers to make it successful," says Admissions and
Recruitment Director, Nathan
Evans. Volunteers are still welcome to assist with the various
festivities of the Preview Day
event.
Outside the library will be a
Campus Resource and Information Fair. Admission and Application Workshops for freshmen and transfer students will
be provided. The University
Bookstore, Kellogg Library, and
other services will be opened
on Preview Day.
Information sessions by academic departments will provide information on all majors

"Hopefully more students will
find out more about it by next
semester," said, Kern. The Biotech major started this fall. The
courses required for this major
range Yrom hard sciences to business courses such as Financial and
Managerial Accounting. Kern
was interested in starting up this
new major here at Cal State San
Marcos because of his personal
experience in the Biotech industry. He worked in the industry
for a little over 25 years before he
came to CSUSM. Working for a
large multinational and start up

that graduates with this degree
would be able to find a job very

For some,
the
idea
of success
can come
through
love
for
others success comes in the form
of money. Ian Bentley has encompassed all aspects of success as
defined above.
Bentley is a business marketing
major at Cal State San Marcos,
At age 21, Bentley has just sold
his business of three years and
already has a prestigious job waiting for him upon graduation this
fall. Bentley is a student who has
been able to take his opportunities
and expand on them.
Bentley started detailing cars
in high school as an employee f or.
someone else's business. It did
not take him long to realize that
he wanted all the profit. Through
perseverance and high ambition,
Bentley took the knowledge gained
in mobile car detailing and manipulated it to suit his business.
Bentley was the owner operator of Bentley Mobile Detail; a
company which he based out of
FREE
North County. Bentley has a core
group of cliental that he meets at
their convenience. Of Bentley's
many high-end clients, the former
executive of General Motors is
included.
'
Bentley focused on corporate clients and had enough to
stay busy. Bentley's clients are
aware that he goes to schooLand
because of that, work around his
busy schedule. Bentley averages
about 10 20 hours a week, making
between $50 to $100 an hour;
"Not only has the business paid
offfinanciallybut it is the experience and networking that was fulfilling in the end," says Bentley
Bentley just sold his business for
$15,000 and has recently had three
job offers. He took a job as a marketer for San Clemente California
Software Company. This job will
prove to be a great experience as
he will be given a lot of responsibilities. Bentley leaves for Paris in
two weeks arid will be traveling a
great deal with his new job.
All the while Bentley has maintained a balance in his life, while
sustaining a marriage of two
years, volunteering at his church,
upholding straight A.'s, and securing a place on the Dean's list for
four semesters. With graduation
just around the corner, Bentley has
already accomplished more than
most students his age.

On Wednesday, Sept 21, cast and crew from the
UPN television program, "Veronica Mars", set up
shop at the Dome and dorms, as well as our University and Craven Halls. Massive cords looped
around the stars and salt of the TV earth as they
dashed about to get the new episode filmed on
schedule.
Typically, when the show needs a campus setting they end up on more established schools like
UCSD, however, being more than a few weeks into
its classes, CSUSM was seen as a better option.
Also, according to James Epstein, an' assistant
director on site, our campus had a "good look for
the director."
George Shockley, an assistant location manager, took extra time away from the busy set to
speak with the Pride about his experience filming
amid the bustle of students and staff. When asked
if he'd had any difficulty arranging the shoot he
assured, "actually it was quite quick. And they've
(administration) been very helpful on everything
we've needed." Even though our campus is both
the youngest and smallest public university in San
Diego County, he also stated that his approaches
"pretty much a basic for everything, from houses
tabuildings to everything, there's always a contact ^
that facilitates all of our needs."
As for any potential problems, Shockley seemed
unconcerned regarding any potential interference.
Asked if he'd equate his approach to 'just shoot

Catch Eye
BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON
Pride Staff Writer
, I'm enrolled in annass media communication course this semester that requires us as
students to examine media from a "critical"
perspective. Sitting in the enormous lecture
hall with over 70 other students, most looking primed for Laguna Beach, one classmate
caught my eye. Ann Helsig sits in the very
front of my class and on at least every other
opportunity, she raises her hand to interject insightful comments into the lecture.
Her intriguing ideas often compliment my
own and I had been waiting for the opportunity to learn more about her. So, when class
adjourned at 12:45,1 made a beeline for Ann,
and the first "Catch Eye'.
Through the conversation I learned that she
is a social science major with an ethnic studies minor and is set to graduate in December. She plans to teach abroad, having been
inspired by her visits to Morocco and South
America. During the course of our 15 minute
conversation she finished off two cigarettes
of a brand I didn't recognize, while telling
me of activist work she does through organizations such as Freedom Road, and Activist San Diego. Ann finished up by telling
me that her life is committed to "affecting
real change," at which I smiled gratefully.
I'm now so glad that I took the time to get
beneath the surface of my insightful and
mystifying classmate.
Keep reading for more surprises, revelations, and gratifications.

Jock talk with Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
I will be
honest; I had
some trouble coming
up with a
column topic
for this week.
I wanted to
write something on Hurricane Katrina in
regards to the sports world. So,
I bounced around some ideas in
my head, but in the end I always
came back to my opinion that
sports is insignificant when compared to the tragedy in the Gulf
Coast.
In an attempt tofindsomething
else to write about I asked different people for column ideas.
After I talked to about 10 different friends and family members I looked at what they offered
and every single one of them suggested something in regards to
Hurricane Katrina.
My Uncle Rene told me to write
about the different sports teams
that are being displaced and how
they have to play entire seasons
on the road.
The New Orleans Saints have
moved their headquarters to
San Antonio to try and regain
some normalcy to their lives.
Their entire season won't be
played in front of a home crowd
because the Louisiana superdome is destroyed which automatically puts them at a distinct disadvantage even before
kickoff.
The New Orleans Hornets
will also be playing an entire
season on the road when the
NBA season starts up. They
will be calling Oklahoma City
home for 35-of-41 games, with
the other 6-games being played

Yes, smoking is a thoroughly unhealthy habit.
Second-hand smoke has been correlated with deadly
diseases, and smokers are now a solid minority in California. So, it should seem obvious that by removing ash trays
and limiting smoking areas smokers would recognize the
needs of the non-smoking majority. Right? I imagine many
readers will need a moment to nod before reading on to the
obvious answer.
Wrong!!!
People I know consider me dependable, productive, clean,
healthy and studious. I have a solid career at a charitable nonprofit organization, help support my parents, exercise regularly, speak up for environmental issues, volunteer at my local
television station, earn straight A's, and like many others...I
smoke. I am indeed one of those people frantically puffing
away between banishments to back lots and behind buildings. The typical questions, Why do you smoke? Why don't
you quit? Etc. all are valid, and all have simple answers: I
smoke for everything from raw nerves to relaxation to addiction. I haven't quit because I'm not ready to, I didn't feel
better when I attempted to quit, end of story.
Yet, back to square one, many of you believe if ashtrays
were removed, and smoking banned on campus, me and
others like me would be forced to change.
Wrong again!!!
If anything can be said of smokers on the whole, it's that
we are a very loyal lot. When there's a will, there's a way,
but wouldn't you rather see us in a central location depositing our leavings in plentiful, clean ashtrays, rather than puffing out second-hand smoke in bathroom stalls and dropping
our butts in random little piles all over our fair campus?
Wouldn't you prefer to have us out in the open, where you
could easily avoid our selected airspace? Wouldn't you be
more in favor of conveniently designated smoking areas as
a fair solution to this controversy than an inefficient hypocritical move to sweep us under the rug?
Birds fly. Babies cry. Smokers smoke, as do I. Let's
keep our campus clean, pristine, honest and open, even to
that which may seem unhealthy and annoying. Who knows,
your habit or shortcoming could be next.

SMOKE
BY MELISSA BAIRD
Pride Staff Writer
Smoking's prevalence on campus reinforces the yiew that
people are more apt to kill themselves than each other.
If you are okay with (this substance), you should also be okay
with leaving the front door open, walking poorly lit paths alone, and
picking up hitchhikers; If the probable suicide of cigarettes doesn't
scare you, it makes no sense to fear the less likely act of murder.
I still remember a day at Starbucks. The woman ahead of me had
ordered a nonfat latte with extra whipped cream. I predicted this
woman would probably light up as soon as she stepped outside, and she
did, violating the virginal morning air with her carcinogens.
There is only one type of person who douses fat free liquid with fat
filled cream, and it's the kind who fears obesity while they ingest such
things, the kind who fears death while destroying their guts.
The smoker.
There are 84 steps leading to the Arts building, 42 between Kellogg and University Hall, and from there another 50 to the Academic
and Science halls. It's a respiratory challenge for me to climb to class
four days a week, even though I'm neither fat, asthmatic nor nicotinedependent.
In addition to conserving space, these steps also function to discourage smoking, but they must wage a constant battle against the elevators, pitting sloth against exercise, life against death. Along with indoor
steps bathed in air conditioning, elevators make it all too easy to travel
through campus with rotting lungs. Such luxuries cater to smokers and
should be reserved for those with genuine special needs.
I won't go into a statistics spiel about the dangers of smoking. Most
of us have been given scare tactics since the fifth grade. I will say,
however, that I can't understand why people willingly harm themselves
with such things. It seems pretty masochistic.
If I sit down outside Starbuck's and begin slitting my wrists, I will be
deemed 'self-destructive' and counselors will be called. If I sit down
and begin smoking, I will be left alone, unacknowledged. Why does the
former get all the attention, when the latter ends up just as damaging?
At least the former heals. Smoking should therefore be equally deserving of psychiatric intervention.
If death isn't turnoff enough, consider the sex appeal of a mouth
that reeks of ash. Smokers will kiss smokers. Nonsmokers are more
hesitant. Such tendencies result in a high level of intra-addictive marriages. The image of lovers refilling each other's oxygen tanks isn't
very romantic.

Fall Alone: the trials of a shared experience
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
Time is valuable, in-valuable
for never being so infinite as we
pretend to promise. This goes
doubly for time alone, no matter
what you do with it, or what it
does to you. In between a little of
both I've been fortunate enough
t o have had friends, even f amily,
that I could confide in. Yet, the
type of relationship, the type of
bond, the one whose absence
tempts loneliness no matter how
many surround you, no matter
how complete your retreats, this
has eluded me for the majority of
my young adult life.
Whether or not unusual, it
certainly isn't unfair. I've never
had proportions worth a second
glance, and my 'character' compensations typically run the
gauntlet from intimidating back
to pitiful. Now couple a hyperactive (indeed outright lecherous)
libido with an inflated tongue
in a spiteful head and it seems
silly that I bothered blaming too
much time between chances,
citing atrophy as I boiled away
in my own juices, bitter and dry.
There's no sympathy to be earned
in this, only small wonder that
I formed so many other malignant, judgmental explanations,
yet still had enough ego left over
for a sense of wasted capacity.
I had all this
going
for
me when,
over the
summer,
I fell in
love.
it's usually an excuse to buy shit.
I've seen no relationship, save
my parents', stand the test of
time, and I have no reason to
believe any type of forever is ever
guaranteed.
'She
and I ' fell in
love.
And what would
I have done had I not
retained those punctuating moments of optimism
and life-praising vulnerability?
And what the Hell was I thinking, getting myself into such a
thing?
I'd say 'be careful what you
wish for', but I don't believe in
wish-granters, or external-fate for
that matter. I don't buy into some
magical force swooping down
to turn dull, fickle livestock into
living embodiments of devotion
and goodness. I don't buy love as

put the warmth, the distinct and
sovereign warmth of her touch,
in any other vessel. Last week,
I dropped my entire evening,
drove the twenty miles, and raced
through the grocer for soup and
Popsicles (The good ones!
Only 'Buyer's' for my
baby!) at her mere
suggestion of illness. She makes
a servant and
a real man of
me whether she
knows it or not
and it scares me
alive.
I'm in love whether I
deserve it or not, so I might as
well like it.
Sharing it, though, is another
matter.
How beautiful? How sweetly
and intensely matched? That's
something for me to know and
you to dream about. By 'share' I
mean how difficult it is to keep
up my duties as eccentric misanthrope if I'm busy telling all of
you how accidental and wonderful love is. I guess 'too late now'
sums it up nicely.
Forget the formulas and
forget the idea that bitterness
makes you any more attractive
(or protected) than living in a
hole. Frankly, you shouldn't
even be fishing for this kind of
thing. Better to prepare for it
like a nuclear strike.
I still don't know what we'll
do with each other, we know this
kind of connection is too rare to
let inflate into infatuation, but
finding time to have sole reign
over my presence; it isn't easy
when her absence confronts me
before I can even get the car door
open.
Worrying about the have-have
not of it aside, there are still some
who would abstain, thinking it
easier or more spiritually pure.
They're the ones that deserve
pity, not me, not you, no matter
how lonely or loathsome we
become.
When it comes down to it, I'd
spit this in the face of every gatekeeper from here to Nirvana's
Jacuzzi: 'there is no simplicity or contentment greater than
that found in the arms of human
love'.
I don't deserve it, so there's no
reason you can't have it.

�'Corpse Bride'
lukewarm
BY ZÀCHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer /
v
If you hesitated to fling
yourself into opening weekend crowds at the prospect of a
new Tim-Burton-Creepy-StopMotion picture, then chances
are high that you, like myself,
suspected a capitulation to the
Celluloid Barons f or more mall
merchandise. Perhaps you were
so impressed by "The Nightmare
Before Christmas", whether you
saw it as a result of its sleeper
success, or were lucky enough
to catch it at the theater...over a
decade ago (now who's feeling
closer to the grave) that you now
fear a gigantic let-down.
Rest and peace, it wasn't a letdown.
Not a gigantic one, any way.
Fans of stop-motion should
certainly make time for the big
screen experience. As digital
animation rapidly becomes more
life-like, and more cost-efficient,
those of us who grew up with
"Gumby" are becoming desperate for even a moderate stopmotion fix. Fortunately, "Corpse
Bride" can boast, above all, some
of the most expressive characters
I've ever seen, including those
counted among 'live' actors.
Even when the proportions aren't
believable, the 'puppets' in this
feature are always life-like,
My highest hope was to count
another pearl into the few musicals recommended to those who
avoid musicals, but alas, the music
is lacking father than redeeming. The best tunes in "Corpse
Bride" come from the opening
and back-story numbers, both of
which are passable on tlieir own,
but simply sad when compared to
"The Nightmare Before Christmàs", whose soundtrack still
haunts me. There are impressive
piano-playing moments, but the
few remaining songs are merely
dialog rhymed into passé melody
by tone-deaf characters best left
as walk-ons.
The overall plot remains a
few steps ahead of predictable,
no farther than the genuinely
clever laughs stay ahead of the
corny gags. Considering how
long it takes to animate a single
movement, and considering how
the afore mentioned sub-musical numbers seemed to stretch
the narration, it seems wrong to
merely call it 'too short'. Still,
for all its dealings with 'love',
the angles of the story's trian-

gle didn't have much time to get
under each others'skin.
For those deprived souls
who have yet to see either "The
Nightmare Before Christmas"
or "James and the Giant Peach" for cheap seats, but do go see this
as done by much of the same one, if only to pour some blood
talent, "Corpse Bride" makes on the grave of good movies, that
a fine introduction, but doesn't i t may rise again to scare the flesh "

In a hurry to get out of class, it happens t o eveiyone forgetting to put the cap back on a
gel pen. For those with bad luck, like me, w e end u p marking up our favorite shirt. So
instead of wearing the pool of blue ink like a new medal of honor through the halls, we
usually bear the heat and pull on a sweater, find a sticker or even run home to change.
Don't shed artear about not being able tor wear that scribbled shirt again, there are simple
solutions.
Just apply any products containing alcohol, such as hairspray or nail polish remover. It
takes gel pen stains right out. And, common sense, people»! am not referring to tequila.
Bad luck witb Starbucks,
Do you find yourself running to classes with a recently purchased cappuccino then
spilling it all over yourself climbing up the endless stairs? Well, don't fear solutions are
near. One big tip is to never let a coffee stain set in. Once it dries the harder it becomes
to remove, so act f ast
Either of these solutions will work:
Pre-treat the stain with any commercial stain remover for one minute before washing.

Rub a mixture of egg yolk, alcohol, and warm water.

Say peace to the pizza grease.
The Dome is no Pizza Hut or Domino's but there is a common problem thè GREASE,
even worse getting it on your clothes. Dropping a pepperoni in your lap or forgetting
to clean up afterwards before resting your elbows leaves a nasty smelly stain. Unlike
coffee that sets in and stays stained, pizza grease can go days in the hamper and you'll
still be able to remove it without a hitch. So instead ofjust tossing the shirt away, try
these thrifty ideas.
Apply Lestoil (cleaner degreaser) or any cheap shampoo directly to the stain, rub and let
sit, and then wash in warm water.
Good luck San Marcos with those nasty stains.

spunk. Beginner's classes meet
in the evenings on Wednesday
nights for a full hour of energetic
swing dancing. Don't let technical moves scare you; the class
encourages repetition and literally taking one step at a time.

feet into motion and head over
to the community center in San

Silk Painting: Come learn this
ancient technique of combining
pure silks with fascinating and
vibrant color-dyes. Gain the basic
skills to create your own masterpiece - hand-painted scarves,

Jodie Foster, the queen of thrillers does
it once again in "Flightplan." Here she
plays Kyle, a j e t propulsion
*
engineer who
has recently been widowed and is traveling with Julia, her 6-year-old daughter
from Berlin to New York.
Upon waking up from a nap, Jodie Foster
finds her daughter missing. She immediately asks the flight crew to seat every passenger and announce that there's a missing
child.
When no one reports the child being
seen, she demands the captain, Rich (Sean
Bean) and sky marshal Carson (Peter Sarsgaard), along with the crew, to search every
cabin, bin and the access point beneath and
above the plane.
When Julia isn't found, everybody
begins to believe that Kyle is delusional.
Julia's name isn't on the passenger manifest, the departure gate at Berlin has no
record of her checking in and the morgue
reports says she was killed along with her
father/With hef options running out, she
acts on impulse and uses her knowledge of
the plane to conduct her own search.
Don't worry there's a twist, which of
course I won't reveal, but its one interesting way to move on with the plot but
it seemed a little desperate. I will tell you
though, that it starts with an intriguing
premise on the psychological genre but
ends up somewhere over the rainbow.
Foster, in a role similar to "Panic Room,"
is always able to hold back her emotions
just an inch. If she wanted to, she could
follow through. She has mastered • the
facial expressions. For example, she could
be smiling but you still see fear or doubt
in her eyes. Bean's and Sarsgaard's talents
seem wasted in their small roles; I would
have liked to see their characters play a
bigger part in the movie.
Regardless, of the plot or twist, "Flightplan" is saved by its strong performances.
Kanye West's 'Late Registration'
BY CARISSA GOAD
Pride Staff Writer
The latest member of the music
world that almost everyone has
something to say about, regarding
the comments he made about political racial segregation in our nation.
Kanye West dropped his second
album last week, premiering at
number one, with 860,000 albums
sold.
"Late Registration," takes on
a whole new sound then what is
being played over today's radio
waves. His fresh sound incorporates all decades throughout the
past 50 years. The album' was created with a live orchestra instead
of music that was driven by sound
beats. It includes diverse components of j azz, poetry, rap and
soul.
Among my favorite songs on
the new album include "Roses
and Diamonds," which give the
album a softer more feminine
vibe. Others with a more feel
good and get up to shake your
booty j ams like, "Gold Digger"
and "Touch the Sky." Kanye also
attacks political issues and ideas
in such songs as "Crack Music"
and "Addiction." He came up with
controversial ideas but he had to
rely on others to help covey and
portray this notorious lyrical content.
He collaborated with featured artists such as Jay Z, Brandy, Common,
The Game and Paul Wall. According to Rolling Stone magazine,
"Kanye West steps up his lyrical
game, shows off his epic production
skills, reaches higher, pushes harder
and claims the whole world of music
as hip-hop turf."
I listen to this entire album
and agreed that Kanye is not j ust
trying to be another hip artist, but
rather revolutionize hip hop in
another direction. Producer Jon
Brion really gave Kanye what he
needed to let his lyrical creativity flow in another direction compared to his f irst album, "The College Drop Out."

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

Mary Rapp said,"We
try to make it as easy as
possible. Financial Aid
can walk you through
the process of securing
a loan. I would say it's
fairly easy."
Alisha Madison,
a second year student
at San Diego State
University agrees with
Rapp. "On a scale
from 1-10,10 being
the easiest, my loan
process was probably

Rapp said, "The

we explain the process
completely. Students
leave with a full understanding. If they have

having to take out a
loan has not changed
any plans."
Rapp feels the same
way. She said, "Not in
this century! People
are broke. I don't think
majors have anything
to do with taking out a
loan. Students depend
on loans to live. If that's
their only means to pay
for education and to
survive, then they have
to go with it."
More than 50
percent of the student
population relies on
loans to fund their way
throughout college.
Some of the reasons
are their parents make
too. much money, as
determined by the
federal government,
or students' parents do
not support them at all.
These students decide
to take on a loan. A
clock on iinaid.org ticks
the balance on" student
loan debt. 850 trillion
dollars is the latest estimate. Even so, this does
not stop students from
taking the loans.
" I'd rather be taking out loans for school
than not being able
to go to school at all.
Education is the most
important thing anyone
can have right now
and I 'm not going to
let the fear of being in
debt affect my choice,"
Madison said.

The Annual Health Expo
BY MAYA LIFTON
PRIDE STAFF
WRITER
Thursday was a good
day at Cal State San
Marcos as the annual
health expo took place
in the library plaza.
The fair provided
free food, massages,
contests, and much
more. 40 different organizations showed up
to this event, each holding individual booths,
which offered information on a particular
aspect of health.
Some of these organizations included North
County health services,
Children's Physicians
medical group, The
Clarke, and the Nürsing
department.
The nursing department had information on
the amount of calories a
person should be taking
in per day. This number
is based on your height,
weight, and gender.
Chelsea Witwer, a
nursing student who
helped put the booth
together, told The Pride
a shocking probability.
"You don't think about
what you're drinking.
You can drink over half
your calories per day,
and people don't know
this," said Witwer.
People are misinformed about the
amount of sugar drinks
contain. They tend to
misjudge the effect one
drink could have on the
body and drink to no
limit. As a result, this
misinformation has led
to the obesity problem
we face today.
Witwer also provided information
pertaining to the amount
of calories certain drinks
have, such as Starbucks
coffee and Coca-Cola.
"Between Starbucks
coffee, Coca-Cola, Budweiser beer, and Snappie Iced Tea, Starbucks
has the most calories."
Even so, Witwer said
there are 10 tablespoons
of sugar in a Coca-Cola.
A Better Tomorrow,
another organization at
the expo, is a treatment
center that specializes
in substance abuse and
helps treat addiction.
Eric Miller, the intake
coordinator, said, "We
work with the major
insurance companies.
We are one of the largest
providers of substance
abuse treatment centers
in California.
"Our facilities treat
any kind of addiction,"
Miller said. "We also
have an [adolescence]
program and work with
kids under the age of
18."

students! Faculty must pay a fee
of $60 that allows access to any
of the classes for the semester. Sign up for your choice of
Ashtanga yoga, "Cardio Kick,"
indoor cycling, hip-hop, zumba/

favorites like zumba and yoga. If
you can still think of an excuse,
here are five unbeatable reasons
to join a class without delay.
1) It's free! We mentioned it
earlier, but this means completely free. Unlike gyms that might
offer martial arts classes, but
charge for equipment, all classes
will provide you with the gear
you need while you're at Clarke
Field House. It's also a way to
save money by stopping your
membership somewhere else.
2) It's on site. You're already
on campus, and no matter where
you are on campus, Clarke Field
House is a short walk away.
3) It's a fun way to add some
newness to your life, whether
that means new exercises, new
workout buddies, or both.
4) A little exercise will actually make writing papers easier
- no joke! British research has
shown that mid-day exercise will
enhance your mood and make
you more productive.
5)The classes are built to suit
everybody. "If you're a beginner,
you're going to receive the basic
instruction to get the basics. If
you're more advanced, these
are going to be classes in which
you'll be challenged to learn new
things," explains Hugo Lecomte,
head of Campus Recreation. "All
the fitness classes are very inclusive and suitable for all levels."

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

Farmer's Market special: bruschettà
BY JENNA JAUREGUI
DIGITAL MEDIA MANAGER
Farmers' markets are steadily gaining popularity as more
people venture out from under
the grocery store's fluorescent
lights and into the world of
open-air shopping. Featuring
locally grown and often organic
produce, farmers' markets are
the perfect place to find fresh,
healthy choices and support the
local agricultural community.
The farmers' market experience
stimulates every sense—the
colorful array of food, the free
samples of homegrown goods,
and the pleasant conversation
with local growers all
help you to remember
where your food comes
from and appreciate its
roots.
During this late
summer season, local markets have an
abundance of tomatoes, herbs, and other
garden goodies. This
week's recipe features
ripe tomatoes and fresh
basil. According to
healthfood-guide .com,
tomatoes are high in
lycopene, a powerful
antioxidant that helps fight cancer. Studies have also suggested
that tomatoes may help fight
aging and degenerative diseases.
Fresh, organic produce from the
farmers market guarantees that
the tomato's nutrient power is"
at its peak! What better way to
highlight this juicy fruit than a
delicious batch of bruschettà?
Although the name may sound
fancy, bruschettà is one of the
simplest, quickest ways to use
your farmers' market finds.
Enjoy this tasty Italian creation
as an appetizer, a side dish, or a
hearty snack!
Fresh Bruschettà
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 tbs olive oil
2 large ripe tomatoes, finely
chopped
Vi cup chopped fresh basil
Vi cup crumbled cheese (like
feta,ricotta,or goat cheese)
salt and pepper to taste
crusty bread
Combine garlic, olive oil,
chopped tomatoes, and basil until
well mixed and season with salt
and pepper. Spoon onto slices of
warmed, toasted crusty bread and
serve. Feel free to experiment
and add olives, onion, or other
extras to the tomato mixture! Savor the fresh taste, and appreciate
that your ingredients were grown
with extra love and care.
Ciao, my bruschettà babes!
See you at the next farmers'
market!

Hastings 22-4 and held a 6-3
advantage in corner kicks.
The game's lone goal came
late in the first half. A nice buildup resulted in Natalya Erbel
feeding a pass to Rachel Schulte,
who knocked it across the face
of the goal to Lauren Johnson.
Johnson expertly controlled the
pass, and from the right side of
the goal finished with a slicing
shot past the keeper into the leftside netting.
That would be all the scoring, as the second half saw the
Cougars generate plenty more
chances but not quite be able to
finish. Keeper Kaycee Gunion was rock solid as usual in
net, making a pair of saves and
consistently making the right
decisions.
Cougar women's soccer will
face a big test this Wednesday at
home against Point Loma. Kickoff is at 3 PM.
Pulvers' side spent most of the
game in the middle of the field.
The two teams traded mostly
weak chances during regulation.
Three minutes into overtime, Master's pushed the ball
up toward the Cougar goal. A
Mustang player went down near
the 18-yard line. The foul looked
like it could have been a free
kick, but the official pointed to
the penalty box. Andie Reyes
easily put the chance into the
right corner past All-American
keeper Kaycee Gunion, who
dove left.
"For me, in an overtime game
like that, you have to be one hundred percent committed to the
penalty," said Pulvers. "I thought
there were too many questions
about whether or it was or not
for it to be called, [but] we put

"And whether the penalty

Late Comeback Comes Up

Soccer Falls to Westmont
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
Playing in front of a big crowd in
Santa Barbra, Cal State San Marcos men's
soccer came up short against a good
Westmont team, losing 2-1 on the road
last Saturday.
CSUSM is now 2-3-1 on the year.
Westmont is 3-0-2.
The Cougars got into a 2-0 hole, starting with a penalty kick goal from West-
mont Doug Harrell in the 39th minute.
Westmont added its second early in the
second half, as a corner kick was headed
into the lower corner of the net by Anthony Niboli in the 59th minute.
CSUSM would respond though, as
Sterling Petersen scored following a
throw-in in the 79th minute, giving him
his first goal as a Cougar. But CSUSM
couldn't notch the equalizer, falling by
that 2-1 margin.
Kevin Ernst made 6 saves in net for
the Coguars.
CSUSM will be in action this Wednesday at home in a huge rivalry match with
Point Loma, starting at 5:30 PM*.

The Walkmen - "Lisbon" - Fat P ossum /Bella Union
The Walkmen had their start in 2000 and are now approaching the release of their sixth album, "Lisbon." Having been together for nearly 10
years, The Walkmen's unique sound has been compared to that of The Cure, but they continue to stay themselves while making new additions
to their sound with each album, choosing to break away from the more familiar independent and garage types of music like The Hives or The
Strokes. They toured in support of their album to a few festivals last spring, including All Tomorrow's Parties in England, and Lollapalooza in
Chicago. This month, The Walkmen are touring around the U.S., as well as Vancouver and Toronto, Canada. In support of their new album, The
Walkmen are selling copies of "Lisbon" with original designs from etsy.com (check them out! http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheWalkmen).
Weezer - "Hurley" - Epitaph Records
When you see the cover of Weezer's new album there is no need to double take. Indeed, it is a photo of Jorge Garcia also known as "Hurley" from
the television series "Lost." Whether or not there is a connection between this character and the album, "Hurley" is Weezer's eighth anticipated album.
Weezer as a band has existed since 1992 and although they have expressed influence from The Pixies, Nirvana and Green Day, with each album their
sound manages to stay original, yet always evolving. "Hurley," which is up for preview on their Myspace (http://www.myspace.com/weezer) shows off
Weezer's signature rock sound that still manages to be new and even fun. The album also features Michael Cera providing back-up vocals on one of the
tracks. The deluxe edition of "Hurley", which can be purchased on Itunes, includes a few bonus tracks and a cover of Coldplay's "Viva la Vida."
Linkin Park - "A Thousand Suns" - Warner Bros. Records
These days one needs only to mention Linkin Park and the tunes of "In The End," "Faint," and "Numb" begin
ringing through ears. September 14th is the release date of their latest studio album "A Thousand Suns." Linkin
Park, already known for their impacting lyrics and unique musical style, seem to have done it again. Many critics
already praise this new album for its sound and impressive writing. Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda continue
to share vocals, which can be heard on the album's first single "The Catalyst," released this past August, along with
other songs on the album. The band also worked off of their influence from the renowned hip-hop group, Public
Enemy. Following "Minutes to Midnight," "A Thousand Suns" cumulates nearly two years of writing and recording
into a fourth full-length album from the band known for their mixture of rock, rap and other devices, making Linkin
Park a name to be recognized.

"Prince of Persia: The Sands of

"Just Wright" - Sanaa Hamri
"Letters to Juliet" - Gary Winick
"Just Wright" stars Queen Latifah as Leslie Wright,
a physical therapist not seeking to "belong" to a man,
living with her god-sister Morgan. Rapper Common
plays Scott, a professional basketball player who takes
a romantic interest in Morgan. Following a threatening
injury that could affect Scott's career, he begins to see
that Morgan was only in interested in him for the money and fame, and that Leslie, his new physical therapist,
is the one who truly wants what is best for him and
his future. The chemistry between the two actors (and
music icons) flows well within the story and the feel of
the film. This i s director Sanaa Hamri's seventh film,
following works such as "Something New" and "The
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2." "Just Wright" is a
film with a simple romantic plot that still has its charms.
Sophie Hall visits Italy with her fiancée and encounters romance in a very unexpected way, turning
into a sort of "Juliet" after finding a lost letter amongst
the many love letters placed in the supposed real home
of Juliet Capulet. Following this discovery, Sophie
eventually finds the sender, Claire, and decides to help
the woman find her long lost love, Lorenzo Bartolini.
Along the way Sophie too discovers more about herself and her feelings as she travels alongside Claire's
grandson Charlie. Director Gary Winick's previous
works include "13 Going On 30," "Charlotte's Web,"
and "Bride Wars." Amanda Seyfried, Chris Egan and
Vanessa Redgrave star in this sweet tale of discovering
love -old and new - 2nd trusting destiny.

Based off of the "Prince of Persia" video
game series, "Prince of Persia: The Sands of

as the Ubisoft game franchise. The film tells
the story of Dastan and his discovery of a
sacred dagger that can turn back time. With
this knowledge he winds up on an adventure
with a princess named Tamina, and unveils
a web of political treachery amongst his
own family. This film comes from director
Mike Newell ("Harry Potter and the Goblet
of Fire") and producer Jerry Bruckheimer
(producer of the "Pirates of the Caribbean"
films) and is distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Ben Kingsley and Gemma Arterton, "Prince of Persia:

APP OF THE WEEK
NetNewsWire
BY JIMMY PIRAINO
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Ever get tired of going to your favorite blogs and
news sites only to be bombarded by pop-up ads and useless blinking banners? Well Mac, iPad, and iPhone users
now have a way to enjoy their favorite news stories without the advertisements, using the simple app NetNewsWire by NewsGator Technologies.
NetNewsWire, described by Dan Frakes from Macworld.com as "A stellar example of a newsreader done
right," is a simple application with a smooth interface
that brings you your favorite blogs and news using Really Simple Syndication.
Really Simple Syndication, more commonly known
as an RSS feed, is a blog format that gives a bare-bones
display of a website, keeping the news and blog posts
while shaving off the ads. NetNewsWire takes these RSS
feeds and combines them into one simple-to-use interface, so whether a user looks at one blog a day, or 50,
they won't miss a single story.
There are several features of NetNewsWire that help
the app stand above the rest in the RSS reader market.
First, and most importantly, the app is free for the Mac
and iPhone. Both are supported by ads, which are shown
in the bottom left corner of the app. NetNewsWire also

able to connect to Twitter accounts for easy sharing of a
user's favorite stories and blog posts with friends. NetNewsWire also has a full-functioning web browser built
into the app. This feature helps minimize the wait time
when opening a link from a news story, or when loading
the source from within the app.
My favorite feature of NetNewsWire is also one of
the most simple and overlooked. Just like Google Gmail,
a user can "star" their favorite stories in NetNewsWire to
save for a later read date. This feature becomes increasingly useful with each new RSS feed a user subscribes
to. Finding a great story is easy, but remembering where
it is hours later can be, and usually is, a complete chore.
Marking a story as a favorite gives the user easy access to it at a later time, without the hassle of scrolling

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