By: Angela Oesterle Pride Staff Writer "Where are they going to go?" This seems to be the first question students ask when they are told that CSUSM will no longer offer housing as of June 2001. Interim Director of Student and Residential Life, Sandra Punch, tells students to wait for the "big package" housing has in store for 2003. With construction of the apartment-style dorms anticipated to break ground in fall 2001, Student Housing and Residential Life (SRL) is looking more towards the future rather than focusing on the current impact of the elimination of student housing. The dorms are expected to include 400+ beds and will be available for CSUSM students in Fall 2003, but the CSU Trustees must first approve the plan. Punch is working to establish a housing program with such people as Russ Decker, Director of Design and Construction; Susan Mitchell, Senior Director of Health, Counseling, and Disability Services; Jonathan Poullard, Dean of Students, Francine Martinez, VP of Student Affairs; and others. Although there will be no school-sponsored housing, Punch believes alternatives, such as seeking housing centers via the Internet, will benefit students. "What we are really doing right now is upgrading our web site," said Punch, "We are actually visiting a dozen apartment complexes in the area, from Escondido to Vista and places in Carlsbad...\ye will be doing virtual tours of those [apartment complexes] ." According to Punch, the remodeled web site "will provide an online web-based listing service, for apartment complexes and individuals to list." » Article continued on page 2 Hi e Pride California State University San Marcos Chavez Granddaughter Shares Personal Side of Civil Rights Leader By: Nathan Fields Pride Feature Editor ment who mentioned that a schol- education was not the best, later its English translation, "It can be arship might be available for her. in life, education was his passion, done."

Delgado addressed students and faculty about the health of Hispanics and the work of her organization on Monday, February 12 in ACD 206. When asked why she chose to visit CSUSM, Delgado said, "My interest is in helping to get young people to make well-informed decisions on their own health and teach others."

It is hardly fair, however, to assume that with gore comes a bad story, bad acting, and bad direction. Hannibal proves quite the contrary to all these. This sequel to Silence of the Lambs brings everyone's favorite cannibal back into the spotlight. After living a life of anonymity for years, Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) starts up with his old tricks after FBI Special Agent Clarice Starling (Julianne Moore) finds herself in a bit of a PR bind with the Bureau, and the bureaucrats. what his motives are until the Hannibal Lecter, and he delivers As the title suggests, Hannibal end.

Photo by: Phil Bray on the character. Ridley Scott (Alien and Gladiator) replaces Jonathon Demme as director arid brings his own unique style to the film. Unlike Demme, Scott opts for more dramatic composed music (Hans Zimmer) and aesthetically pleasing settings than his predecessor. Sadly, Hannibal falls short as a psychological thriller. The story's good, the acting's good, and there are a few good scares. If you read the book, you will definitely be disappointed by the ending, which was completely changed from that of the novel written by Thomas Harris.

The Early ^ ^^Learning Center opened its door at 139 Gosnell Way b ehind t he San Marcos Post Office on Twin Oaks, Valley Road to the young students and Jan 12. The center, sponsored by associated student, offers child care for children of CSUSM students as well as other in the community. It runs five sessions daily. The first begins at 6:15 A.M. and the last one ends at 6 PM. Prices range from $12.25 to $19.25 per day, roughly 2 0 percent less than comparable day care centers. Parent must commit to a minimum of two days per week. Financial a ssistance i s available, h owever, t hrough c ommunity p rograms. The goal of providing affordable child care for students, staff, and faculty has been a dream ever since the university admitted its first student in 1989. But translating that dream into reality has been a slow process. Creating a day care center was one of Darlene Willis' first directives when she took the job of executive director of associated students. Much discussion had taken place on the best way to establish the center, she discovered, but little had been done. Enter the Associated Students. With $ 29,000 from its reserves, A.S. found the existing child care center on Gosnell Way, which w as o n the market, arranged to lease the building on a yearto-year basis. "This A.S. board is to be commended for its efforts," said Willis, adding that 25 percent of every dollar collected by AS in student fees is allocated for day care. Prior to the center's conception 15 individual s cholarships of $ 500 were given to students to offset the cost of childcare. This money now will help support the Early Learning Center. Within the next two years, the uni- III11 m H Photo By David Johnson The Early Learning Center, located on 139 Gosnell, behind the San Marcos Post Office, now provides an alternative source of childcare for students as well as others in the community. versity hopes to move the day care center to a permanent location on campus neer the Public Safety Center. Willis said such a move will cost $1.5 million, which includes building an access road and the facility itself.

The recent spate of H storms that roared through the county 1 Jfailed to delay the scheduled opening of the university's Building 15. The building, tentatively named International Hall, still is scheduled to open in mid-August for the fall semester classes. The storms also failed to dampen the spirits of school officials, who are eagerly anticipating the extra space Building 15 will provide to the cramped university. "We're looking forward to the future. The weather hasn't pushed us off our summer occupancy," said Russ Decker, CSUSM's director of Planning, Design and Construction. According to Decker, the 7 1,000square-foot building will accommodate 1,000-1,200 students, and will contain four new computer labs, a foreign language lab and two broadcast rooms. It also will house faculty offices for the College of Education and the departments of psychology, computer science and foreign language.The only weather-related problems for the building this semester have been minor, according to Bob Boyer, construction su- still on schedule perintendent. Rain, for example, delayed fabrication of the concrete panels that make up the exterior walls of the building, which set the final completion date back about two weeks, from June 24 to mid-July. But Decker said the mid-August grand opening would not be affected. The walls on the three-story, rear section of Building 15 are in place and about 3 0 percent of the roof has been finished. Boyer said he the entire roof should be in place, and the rear section watertight, by the middle of February. The four-story,frontsection is still without walls, but Boyer said he hopes they will be up by the beginning of March. Once the walls are finished, the roof on thefrontsection should be completed within two weeks. What if El Nino continues its current rampage? "We're keeping an eye out, but we have plans to handle it," Decker said. The IR plans include making up lost time by accelerating work on the interior of the building (which is already ahead of schedule), and possibly moving some of the faculty and equipment into the rear section of the building while the front is finished, he added. Independent study courses leave students hanging B Y JENIFER J AFFE T" ast month a the SMART system surprised a hand JL-Jful of students on campus when it informed them they would receive credit or nocredit, instead of a letter grade, for winter term independent study classes. Debbie Holderby, a literature and writing major, was among the students who didn't realize that literature and writing independent study courses are now designated as credit/ no-credit according to t he CSUSM 9 7-98 catalog, she# said. After listening to the SMART system, Holderby remarked that she thought the course she paid over $ 300.00 for was useless. According to both the CSUSM 96-97, and the 97-98 catalogs, students working towards a Bachelor of Arts in literature and writing studies cannot take a course required for their major c redit/nocredit.

Bccome o 1 on't turn the corner too fast because you could l niss it. Maybe you've noticed Power Surge Cafe as you've passed the intersection of Barham and Twin Oaks Drive on your way to school. But more and more CSUSM students are finding that it's worth more than a look. Better yet, many say, they're discovering that it's a place of their own. Owner Mark DuBois understands. He graduated from CSUSM himself two years ago. "I feel a resposibility to give some of that back to the community." says Dubois. "I feel like I owe the university a huge debt because my education was so incredible. The instructors really care about you as a person and don't look at you as a number." As a result, Dubois has offered his cafe as a venue for several university activities, " We're starting to do local music on Friday night," he says. "On March 23, one of the literature and writing classes is going to be performing poetry at noon." Adds employee Rachel Harris: "You see people who are so psyched to be here and so excited about how it's going to change. Hey, this is going to be really cool. There's great ideas and people. "There's really nothing else in this whole college area. Just to have a home base where students thi&^Hege f r^^ or SDSU%the?fact that it is small and more intimate. This place is so North County." "There's a different feel. San Marcos has culture. This is just another extension of that." With a view of the college and nearby location, Harris says, "We're building the foundations for the college area." . CSUSM teachers also are finding a home at Power Surge. "The faculty has been so supportive," DuBois says. "They've had all kinds of meetings down v WmNwm* here: Administration, Counseling, Financial Aid. To me, the neat thing is that it's a mixing ground between the university and community. Our customers are truckers, cab drivers, students and homemakers." For students who find the choice between the bustle and noise of the university cafeteria and the dark quietude of the library equally uninspiring, Power Surge Cafe offers an atmosphere fall of daylight and a unique decorative style. A large antique map of the world and other paintings, including a modern work by a CSUSM student, adorn the walls. Employees bring their own CDs to provide background music. "We don't just want to get you in, then get you out," Harris says. Power Surge will soon open an adjoining room that will house six computers, providing Internet access to interested students. The $6 price per hour is half of what Kinko's and other cyber cafes charge. Power Surge offers a full espresso bar and reasonably priced coffee (75 cents, $1 and $1.25), plus lunch deals with quality meats and cheeses ($3 for a sandwich, chips and pickle). It also offers quiches and lunch croissants with ham and cheese or turkey and feta. A variety of pastries includes standbys such as cinnamon rolls and various croissants and more unique selections, such . as th^-'Mogkey Bar" (banana and chocolate chip), cappuccmoiar, chocolate wipetfut cake and white chocolate raspberry cheesecake. For breakfast eaters not into sweets, there's cereal with milk ($1.50) and juice. Fresh smoothies will be on the menu soon, DuBois says. "We're trying to keep our prices down to cater to students," says Harris. "A lot of us here are students. We know how hard it is." Power Surge is open weekdays from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. ^ I Lawyer's Assistant B Y A M Y M ESTER | > The UNIVERSITY Of SAM DIEGO, offers an Intensive ABA Approved poet graduate 14 week LAWYER'S ASSISTANT PROGRAM.

But, not many JL JLknow what a tukwut is. And even fewer know how to pronounce it. The CSUSM logo provides the best hint, and, as most people suspect when they see it, a tukwut is indeed a mountain lion.In a recent random survey on campus, few knew anything more, other than it was an Indian term. Most pronouriced it in either of two ways: "too cute" and "tuck qwat."Where did it come from? Like a lot of terms, from the Indians.According to a brief but interesting history prepared by Mark A. Macarro, tukwut... pronounced "took woot" ... is a Luisen~o Indian term for the California mountain lion. The Luisen~o tribe, or Payomkawichum, as its members call themselves, originally inhibited the area along the Southern California coast from Encinitas to Las Flores in Camp Pendleton and inland to Palomar Mountain and southwest Riverside County. B Y R EBECCA W A R N E The Luisen~o believe that they have lived in the region since the beginning of time. Their history records l ife beginning in the Temucula Valley long before the Spanish land grant settlers. When CSUSM was founded, an elder of the tribe was consulted to help select the mascot... partially to honor the indigenous people of the region but also in keeping with the university's commitment to diversity. �Alternative grading system could benefit students and teachers alike B Y LESLIE P EARNE ^ T A "THiat if a u niversity % / % / d idn't g ive l etter ¥ Y grades? What if students were measured by detailed, written evaluations that explained strengths and weaknesses and specified goals that must be met? That might make a lot of students happy. Indeed, a number of CSUSM s tudents indicate that the present system of letter grades isn't necessarily what they prefer. Rya Anderson, a senior majoring in Liberal Studies, s aid s he w ould w elcome CSUSM's adopting a writtenevaluation g rading s ystem. "That's good, because s ometimes students put a lot of e ffort into a class, but have low test scores. If the effort goes unnoticed, then t he grade i s based on the numbers," s he added. Diane Nesser, a senior majoring in Literature and Writing, said she'd like a better explanation of how she performed in a class than a letter grade provides. "Feedback allows one to look back o n their strengths and weaknesses. It also explains why one may receive a plus or minus, instead of a straight B or C," she added. UC-Santa Cruz, which u ses t he w ritten-evaluation grading method, is now in the process of changing it to a dual procedure. Students will receive letter grades, necessary for transferring and/or graduate school applications, along with the written evaluation. Both students and professors have commented that the system gives the university more of a low-pressure, less competitive e nvironment, b ecause there is no GPA. Dr. L eslie Z omalt, CSUSM's coordinator of advising, called the written-evaluation process "very difficult," because it's hard to convert to such an assessment at a university t hat s olely u ses l etter g rades. "This i s n ot t o t he student's advantage, especially w hen a pplying t o g raduate schools," she added. Many administrators say implementing a new grading process is overly time-consuming. But, Dr. Sue Fellows, a professor in the Literature a nd W riting D epartment counters that it can be accomplished in a less laborious manner. "During the first week of the semester, students and professors should have conferences," she suggests. "No actual class meetings." "This would allow for students to fully understand what is expected from them and what they can expect from the professor." Fellows says student/ professor communication can be strengthened by the written evaluation, and adds, "Written evaluations are a more personalized and d etailed way t o grade." Michael Stary, a graduate student in Literature and Writing, said he would like to see CSUSM adopt a system similar to UC-Santa Cruz's proposed two-step method. "Written evaluations would work h ere b ecause t hey work at UCSC. We could model a process after theirs," he added. "It is hard for graduate programs to determine your background when applying and a written evaluation would give a detailed explanation on your academic career." CSUSM o fficials stressed that there are no plans in the works for changing the current grading system, but pointed out that the nine-year university is still young, offering students the opportunity to help mold and shape it in the future. - oppwt^ities ; d p i ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ F i : ^ ' t he;JJniversity IlKiliMfei^^Bife feslfcitia^ii^^Hi S cience continued from page 3 "The k ids l oved it.

Sound too good to be true? Meet Dr. Renee Curry, who became program director for the Literature and Writing D epartment at the beginning of the spring semester. Her duties include developing a s chedule, matching faculty e xpertise w ith that s chedule and working with the Dean to fine tune any administrative b umps in the road. Curry, who has worked in Literature and Writing for seven years, s aid s he w elcomed t he opportunity to be involved in the a dministrative s ide of t he d epartment. "My career is set up so that I never have to choose something awful," she said. "My choices are something wonderful A or something wonderful B." Directorship of the department is rotated generally every two or three years. Curry t ook over f rom Ken Mendoza. aI really believe in the democratic system," she said. "I really believe in turn-taking, and after seven years it is more than my turn." As a result of student feedback and a story in the Pride last semester, Curry said s he p lans t o build more night classes into the Literature and Writing schedule. She stressed that the department has an open-door policy that encourages student involvement. "The advisors, Lora Coad and Leslie Zomalt, let us know what the students want," she added. "One of the ways we can tell, for instance, i s by the courses that get crashed. Typically, students end up in Advising requesting a particular course at a particular time. The advising folks let us know." Curry h as two areas of focus in the coming months. The first is to get the fall 1998 schedule in order. "My goal is to provide desired courses and course times so that Lit-Writing students can get t heir d egrees," she emphasized. The other is to provide mentoring, for the department's professors. "The amount of paperwork t hat p rofessors s ift through is mindnumbing," she said, adding that she hopes to help guide them into desired grants and research areas. Curry said she is proud of the students in the department. "Lit-writing students love to read," she said. "We are the only people left on the planet who on any given weekday take time to ourselves to read." Lit-writing students are the last remaining vestige of what it really means to be a true intellectual... which is to read. As soon as we give up reading, that to me, is going to be the beginning of the end of a type of intellectualism. "Not that there aren't other types. I'm heavily involved in technology and computers. But I think that if we give up reading, something very important will be gone. Lit-writing students refuse to give that up." performs in Escoridido ,'U: r E seoiidldb; C A~Tbe t r a d e m a r k g e s t u r e s o f t h i s g reat F repcli ,;mime a r$ g raceful a nd p oetic; t hey a re a t estament t o t he p hysical d i s c i p l i n e ^ ? a t rue m aster* M arcel M arceau i s f ull o f e n e r g y a n d <$*iite c apable o f d rawing u n d i v i d e d a ttention f rom a n . audience o f a ll a ges at, t he,California C enter f o r t he A rts, E scondido T u e s d a y , r ^ - f V ,"!Marceati'can sa^r morie w ith o ne e yebrow o r o ne r ipple o f h is f ingers t han s o m e s ay V i t h tfiieir e ntire b odies.

The center has seven classrooms for children between the ages of 2 to Kindergarten. It is licensed to care for up to 52 kids at a time. Its staff of nine ranges in experiencefromseven to 17 years. The student-teacher ratio is about 7 to 1 for 2-year-olds and 10 or 12 to 1 for the older children. Linda Conde, a native Californian, moved back to the state to take the position of center director. As a teacher at a community college in Florida, she made a presentation on school readiness at a conference of the National Association of Educators of Young Children (NAEYC) in Anaheim when she learned of the CSUSM position. Conde, who has 2 0 years experience and a masters degree in Early Childhood from the University of San Francisco, is also a former educational coordinator for the federal Head Start program. Conde says she is proud that her staff s qualifications exceed those mandated by the California State Matrix. Conde said a typical day at the center "varies between active and quiet play." Sharing, music stories, painting and puppets are just a few of the activities. There is also naptime or quiet time for those who don't nap. Conde has many goals for the center. She hopes to get involved in the state-funded food program to help parents with low incomes. Currently, parents are required to pack a lunch for their children. She also wants to take the center through the NAEYC's training program, which she calls an "exemplary" effort involving both teachers and parents. Because the center was an existing facility, many of its children have no ties to the university. Conde said she hopes to increase the number of university families there from the present 38 percent to more than 50 percent. Conde said she also would like to involve the campus community as much as possible with the center, and is hoping for support from student organizations. Plans are underway for a VIP readers day with faculty selecting books and reading to the children. The Psychology Department has expressed interest in utilizing the center to give its students an opportunity to observe and learn about early child development. Interested parents should call Conde at (760) 7 45-4999 for more information. Availability is limited, but Conde said every effort will be made to accommodate students. In the meantime, plans have been made to paint the inside of the center on Feb. 28. Anyone wishing to volunteer his or her services should contact Associated Students.

HEALTH SYSTEM Student Health Center Building, Corner of Twin Oaks & Craven Road, Suite 103 • Open Monday-Friday, 10 a.m to 6 p m �Housing continued from page 3 from other California campuses ... Cal Poly Pomona, UCSD and San Diego State," said Mitchell. "We visited other n ew c ampus h ousing p rojects at Pepperdine and Loyola Marymount. We were able to see them even before the students had moved in. Review plans were submitted." The recommendations submitted called for a non-traditional approach to campus housing. According to Mitchell, students today prefer more privacy and would like single rooms. They also would prefer small private bathrooms as opposed to the communal shower rooms that are standard in most dorms." The trend favors suites or apartments," Mitchell said. "We would initially start out with 3 00-400 beds." Until then, there are the Islands, an apartment complex in San Marcos leasing 23 units to the school under a special agreement. Students pay user fees to the housing office, which in turn pays their rent, utilities, and provides furniture. Some 8 0 students currently live there, with most sharing a bedroom with another s tudent. Mitchell acknowledges that the arrangement is somewhat untraditional, saying, "I think we have to realize that it's not the ideal situation. It's temporary and that's the way it was meant to be. We have tried to make it as close to traditional campus housing as possible. But they share the complex with tenants who are not students. The apartments are in close proximity to each other, but it's not like we have our own area." The target date for on-campus housing remains elusive. The most significant roadblock is funding. Housing programs are required to be self-supporting and generally do not receive funds from the school. The user fees collected from the Islands students pay a portion of her office's budget, Mitchell says, adding, "The salaries of t he three f ull-time housing staffers is supported by the state. We probably need a minimum of 250 students to kick off our own housing program." > And Mitchell believes that the interest level will be sufficient to make on- campus h ousing viable w ithin f ive years. As the campus grows in enrollment, Mitchell expects the most interest from first-year students, easily the largest group on campus at 6 0 percent of the student population. The second largest student group, transfer students, would likely be interested as well. "On campus housing serves as a transition for new students to the university," Mitchell said. "Research over the last 20 years shows that students who live in university housing for at least their first year have higher grades, are more likely to on to graduate school, are more likely to graduate in less time than those living off campus, and will be more likely to enjoy their college experience." Mitchell said the presence of on-campus housing will change the environment of the university as well. A residential program would make the university central to a student's life. "That's particularly tough on this campus because we are still very young," she said." We don't have a student union. There are no ideal places for students to hang out on campus. It's part of the educational experience to network with and support other students who are like minded. It's a place to develop as a person, socially and educationally. It's a great place to learn how to get along with people different from themselves." On-campus housing also adds the benefit of attracting out-of-town students. It's a matter of convenience, according to Mitchell. Students would be able to live in a safe familiar environment rather than search for housing in strange, unfamiliar communities. But she also hopes that on-campus housing will appeal to local students, too. Anticipated fees are impossible to predict at this stage. Seemingly they would have to help defray the cost of the land, construction and, later, upkeep and maintenance of the buildings. Mitchell said she cannot predict whether fees would be comparable to those paid by students at the Islands, but added, "Our goal is to have housing at the best possible price for students."

B Y D EBBIE H OLDERBY T ^ I ducation through the s enses. M That's the goal of CSUSM's Arts JL-jf& Lecture Series. Far from being just entertainment, the series is a learning experience as well. It o ffers e vents h ighlighting artists, performers and lecturers in all disciplines. "It's not just art," says Bonnie Biggs, assistant to the dean of Library Services and coordinator for the s eries. The lectures seek to "link the d isciplines, including m athematics and psychology," s he said, adding, "The adventure of discovery should involve more than books." This semester, the series will offer 3 0 events, ranging from an AIDS documentary on Feb. 2 3 t o m usic from Zydeco Blues Patrol in April. On March 4, it will feature works from artists Renee Cox and Yong Soon Min, which, Biggs said, "have been viewed as somewhat controversial." She added, "A lot of the faculty see the events as an opportunity to enhance instruction," explaining that some members often bring their classes to the performances and lectures. After t he p resentations, 7 0 percent of the artists and lecturers visit classrooms, Biggs said, to "interact with the students one-on- one." T he CSUSM f aculty i s i nvolved in the selection process, said Biggs, and some of the events in the Arts & Lecture Series are sponsored in p artnership w ith t he California Center for the Arts, Eseondido. The artists and lecturers often give presentations at the Eseondido Center as well as the university. The events are open to the public.

Once there, they may peer t hrough p eepholes, v iewing t he library's activities. In another area of the library, the exhibit presents a colorful wall of sound and texture, extending the experience beyond the visual to include tactile sense and hearing. Visitors can create their own experiences. The exhibit was specifically designed for the campus library. "The library is a place people normally only think about research and studying," said Bonnie Biggs, assistant to the dean for Library Services. "Discovery should be on all levels, including the senses." The art exhibit is currently on display through March 27.

But, for a space called 6 @ Penn, it works. Located at the corner at Sixth and Pennsylvania Ave. in the heart of Hillcrest, this 1 00-seat performance space i s the temporary home of some of the most innovative and entertaining theater pieces and performance art in the county. And its latest offering, Rob Nash's "Freshman Year Sucks!" is no exception. A veteran of regional theatre, Nash turns his comic eye to the life of three soon-to-be friends as they enter freshman year of Jesuit high school in H ouston. N ash, a n ative of A ustin, Texas, who also wrote the show, portrays the three "nonconformists"... Ben, George and Johnny. At the piece's outset, J ohnny befriends Ben and George (whom he deems "chick repellant") after moving t o t he a ffluent s ection of H ouston known as River Oaks from Iowa City. We then f ollow t he trio through the lives, loves and heartaches of freshman year. J ohnny i s t he-rough-and tumble outcast, a modern-day James Dean. And his two friends are the exact o pposite, Ben i s t he meek o ne w ho questions his sexuality and thinks he's falling for Johnny's girl, Maria. George's sexuality is still in question, though he has a senior-size crush on his wanton tutor. As the work progresses, Ben finds a soul mate (though not a sexual one) in Maria and the tutor wants nothing extra-curricular with pupil George. What sets this coming of age (and coming out) tale apart from the others of its ilk is that Nash portrays all the characters, an amazing 26. From the three friends and the objects of their desire (male and female) to parents, teachers and school administrators, Nash carries them all. And he does it extraordinarily well. His words are not carried out with the same insanity as, say, a Robin W illiams i mprov p iece, b ut w ith a s mooth, l ightning s peed a chieved through changes in facial expressions, body language and a myriad of dialects from the South.

We then follow the camera as it follows Mr. Arlow making his way up to Zero's penthouse pad. With a recognizable hat's off to "Get Smart* and the convoluted conditions of getting into headquarters, a frustrated Arlow finally gets in and we are introduced to Mr. Zero: your basic Howard Hughes in the early stages of his agoraphobic paranoia. However, judge not a book by its cover my faithful film lovers. On t he j ob, Darryl Zero metamorphasizes into a cross between James Bond and Sherlock Holmes; smart, smooth, savvy, sexy, sweet and sensitive. Although he regards "the fine art of detachment" as a rigorous rule in detective work, he is unable to stand steadfast and true when attracted to an adorable and amorous admirer. This will not prove his undoing-quite the opposite—but does prove that "passion is the enemy of precision" (a Zeroism). Ryan O'Neal portrays Mr. Stark, the man with a past that won't go away, in desperate need of a discrete detective. O'Neal does a fine job here evoking emotions in the right places without overdoing his options. Both Bill Pullman and Ben Stiller infuse their characters with individuality, humanity and heart, allowing access into their fractured friendship. Written as well as directed by Jake Kasdan, Zero Effect demonstrates a deft display of camera control while providinng film patrons with a lovely look and listen into the lives of some unusual people with the usual problems.

Certainly n one are needed for those who have to juggle work, school, and family. Free time is scarcedndeeci:! | gyt « Though it may seem impossible to get out of town if you have only one day a week off, but it isn't. Nor does it need to put you in debt. If you like snow sports, or want to learn about them, good times are about two hours away at three resorts at Big Bear Lake. Snow Valley, Snow Summit and Bear Mountain each have something to offer. The best mountain for any kind of downhill gliding depends on your experience, and your wallet. At Snow Valley; an all-day, adult lift ticket costs $34. Students and military pay $ 30 for all-day tickets; children 6 to 9, $9; and seniors (over 70) and children under 6 ski free. For beginners, both skiing and snowboarding packages are available. The beginning ski package includes boots, skis and lesson f or $39. The beginning snowboard package is $49, and includes boots, board and lesson. Snow Valley h as a s nowboard park w ith jumps for all levels, and a skateboard park The second resort, Snow Summit, has been bombarding the public with radio and billboard advertisements. Lift t ickets there have g one down $12 since last season, something that doesn't happen often. An adult, allday ticket costs $ 32, while children from 7 to 12 pay $10 and children under 6 are free with a paying adult. If you finish before 1 p.m., you can turn in your ticket for a voucher toward your next time. Night skiing and snowboarding ( $24 per adult and $ 8 per child) is also available, as well as packages for snowboarders and beginI nor skiers ($65, which includes all rentals, lift ticket and four hours of lessons). Snow Summit is known for its snowboard park, the largest in Southern California. Tickets for the resort can b e bought at any Ticket-Master location. If y ou make t here b efore March, you can get an all-day lift ticket the third resort, Bear Mountain, for $29 Monday through Friday. That price jumps to $ 42 on March 1, but 13- to 22-year-olds will pay only $32, and those 6 to 12, $10. Halfday skiing, starting at 12:30 p.m., costs $ 28 for adults and $25 for those 13 to 22. You also can turn in a full day ticket before 12:30 P.M. and receive a voucher for your next visit. I ntroductory s kiing and snowboarding packages are available for $45 and $50, respectively, including lower mountain lift ticket, rentals and l esson. The Bear Mountain snowboard park has many new jumps and a new permanent boardercross. Tickets for Bear Mountain can be purchased at the ticket office and at manyVons stores. Bringing your own lunch to the resorts can save both money and time, since lunchtime in the lodges is hectic and expensive. Rentals are available at each mountain, and in several surf shops in North County as well. Group rates (more than 2 0 people) also are available at all three. . B Y M ICHAEL M g Bureaucracy—one n ever m r a knows when it will strike. Since the majority of students at CSUSM combine work with school, if not also parenthood, most of us can relate to the necessity of a class schedule that works well with all the other aspects of our lives. I know I'm like that. I work Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, leaving Tuesday and Thursdays only for the classes I need to graduate in may. But, when I entered my second class thatfirstTuesday, it was a bit worrisome: There were only four students in all, and the university's tentative minimum is twelve. It turns out my fears were justified. On the second Tuesday, the professor informed us that the class was cancelled. It was a senior-oriented class, and a least two of us needed it to graduate. Crashing a class in the second week is a very uncertain situation. So we were quite worried. But, there was hope. The professor said we could take the class as an independent study. But, since she was unsure of all the fine points, we went to the d$par£nent head to work it put. Once there, we were told that we indeed could take the class as an independent study, but only on a credit/ no credit basis. Never having taken a such a class, I had no problem with this. Then came the catch: The department h ead i nformed u s that a credit/no credit class couldn't count toward your major. This was very bad, since I needed an elective in my major in order to graduate. There was no point to taking the class if it wouldn't count toward my major. We asked if there was anyone else we could talk to who might have the power to provide some relief. We were given the name and number of an administrator and told to call and make an appointment. But this was Tuesday, and the add deadline was in three days. We might not be able to even get to see the administrator in time. We asked the department head if we could get special consideration if we tried to crash a class, since ours was canceled and we were graduating seniors. We were told that was up to the individual professor, and we should plead our case ourselves. I found a few electives that fit my schedule but learned they were full, leaving me with the choice of quitting my job or attending summer school. It was in this hopeless state that I thought of talking to my counselor, Laura Coad. On two previous occasions, she had clarified and focused my academic life. But I had my doubts whether even she could save me this time. She said she would talk to the department head. An hotir or so later, after my next class, I returned and she waved me in. "You're fine,'' she said. "You can take the class credit/no credit and graduate." That was it. I had gone from a brick wall to a yellow brick road. I found it hard to believe, but I told my professor and she told me to meet her on Thursday to work out the independent study. Two other students and I met with her and returned to the s ame d epartmeent h ead w ith our IndependentStudy forms. As she signed them, she explained that because we were on a different catalogue year we were exempt from the policy. It occurred to me that most seniors would be on a different catalogue year than the present one.-1 don't think too many students transfer colleges in their senior year. Though curious why this hadn't been apparent two days prior, I was happy to have my original schedule back. It just proves that you have to be careful what you accept as the truth ... especially in a bureaucracy. ' Pri§e' g ppp j| Letters t o t he e ditor are w elcome.

EDITORIAL A ctions are louder My education fees cost me $2,709 this semester and my parking fee cost $158; why? Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger used his authority to strip $23.7 million from the CSU for this Spring 0 4' semester. He proposes to cut 9 percent of the CSU's funds for the 04-05 school year. What does this mean for the CSU? Our student fees raised 40 percent within a year — outstanding. It means that EOPS and outreach programs will cease to exist for a year or longer. It means that that the CSU can't grow. It means that teachers lost their jobs and students' education must suffer. Blame the electricity crisis and Gray Davis, blame it on Schwarzenegger and his cuts, blame the economy, the deficit. The point is, with California $22 billion in the hole, Schwarzenegger had to do See Editorial, page 2 Photo by Elizabeth Baldwin/The Pride Five massive levels Kellogg Library hours: ByJonRodley of library are available 8 a.m. - 9 p.m. Monday thru Thurs.

The reapplication process will include a lottery drawing of names that will guarantee rooms for only 125 students out of 460 currently living there. Other students who did not win the lottery and want to continue living in the UVA are going to have to wait till May 1 to find out if they will have a place to live the next school year. According to Director of the UVA Heather Singer, "Priority is being given to transfer students as opposed to freshman." Currently, there are 82 percent freshmen living in the dorms. She said that the next year there will be 55 percent freshmen living in the dorms giving it a different atmosphere. The lottery drawing has stirred up mixed reactions amongst students who currently live in the dorms. Although business major Lupe Soto is not going to be affected by the lottery drawing he is not buying into the lottery drawing. According to Soto, "Students that live here should have priority." Priority should also be given to students that apply to live at the UVA early. Freshman Michelle Lansinger does not agree. Although she is not going to be affected by the lottery drawing since she is not going to reapply next semester she thinks that the plan is fair since it gives students the opportunity to stay at the UVA.

However, before we get into the ugliness of the new uncertainty, I would like to welcome back all of you who are returning for another semester on our h ill For those who are joining us for the first time this semester* welcome and do not be intimidated. It is my understanding from some of the new students that I have spoke to that the orientation process was less than reassuring. To that I say relax, but also prepare. Thefirstsemester here is by far the worst for it is both demanding and gut wrenching. I would suggest to all you first timers not to get discouraged: it will get easier with time. For those who are not familiar with the position of ombudsman, I will give you a quick background. I write for the paper as a student like all the other Pride reporters, photographers and editors. What the ombudsman does precisely is provide a liaison for the readers to sift through and respond complaints and criticisms regarding the articles in The Pride. Therefore, g t^r P ride I encourage readers to e-mail me with their thoughts or condemnations for The Pride, to which I respond independently based solely on the validity of the claim. In other words, the ombudsman is like the conscience of The Pride. As for the new uncertainty, that could be the slogan for the future of the CSU system. Certainly changes are in our future with the proposals made by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. These changes are at the best uncertain and at the worst will resonate grimly through the halls of our campus from class cancellations and overcrowded classrooms to the elimination of programs and services for the students. The student population must voice their opinion on the proposed fee hikes and budget cuts to the CSU for this is a matter that cannot be thrown to the side. Gov Schwarzenegger's proposal will be a constant theme throughout the semester, please e-mail me and let me know your thoughts on his ideas. Also, e-mail me your thoughts on this edition of The Pride. My e-mail address is dolan005@csusm.edu HELP WANTED! g Mr Rrid^| BE INVOLVED W ITH YOUR STUDENT PAPER! GREAT RESUME BUILDER!

Although nothing has been finalized yet the Student Housing Advisory Committee feels it has a clear understanding of what the students would Retirement Luncheon Celebrated 10 Years of Service Cynthia Woodward P RIDE STAFF WRITER A fter much research and anticipation the students of CSUSM will finally be able to enjoy residential life on campus. The future housing units will be apartment-style dorms, with approximately two beds per room, for a total of 400 students and will be available in the Fall of 2002. V ol.

Other issues include having rooms that are equipped f or today's advanced living, a "port f or every pillow" Internet and telephone access in every room. At this point in time there is no formal housing on campus, but the University does offer a limited housing program. Just two miles from campus, the university has 23 units with approximately 80 students living in an apartment complex. According to Susan E. Mitchell, Dean of Students and Lifelong Learning Services, planning housing on campus is a long process and requires a sufficient amount of research, if it is to serve its purpose "aiding in student success." Meeting students' needs f or on-campus housing i s a long process. In order to obtain campus housing there must be enough student interest, a place to build housing and ability to be self-supporting. There must be enough students paying rent in order for the campus to maintain the property without having to take money f rom other departments. This does not mean that housing will be overly expensive, but that the campus must find a contractor who is capable and reasonably priced. The campus is currently awaiting bids to have housing built at little or ^ o upfront cost, under a Private Public Partnership. In return, the campus must guarantee that enough students will live in the housing to repay the contractors for their services. P RIDE STAFF WRITER Founding faculty member Bernard Hinton celebrated 10 years of service to the CSUSM community on Friday, November 19. A catered luncheon, white linens, and bougainvillea decked the Dome patio in honor of "Bernie," one of the first founding faculty members to retire from this university. Nearly 100 people attended the celebration. Hinton's long service to CSU San Marcos was honored with speeches and g ifts. Speakers were Regina Eisenbach, Beverlee Andersen, President Gonzalez, and others. Eisenbach said that "Bernie's the reason" she works at CSUSM; Andersen gently "roasted" Hinton with a poem she wrote; and President Gonzalez noted that when he arrived at the university "everyone here knew Bernie Hinton." Hinton was presented with an engraved clock and a memory album filled with personal reflections during the course of the two-hour long event. Hinton served in several capacities during the past 10 years. He began as Professor of Management in the College of Business, and holds that title as he retires; he was Special Assistant to President Bill Stacy; and he held the position of Director of Center for DecisionMaking. On a more personal note, Hinton is responsible f or the scarlet mounds of bougainvillea that adorn the hillsides around the university. An accomplished gardener, Hinton originally wanted roses planted, but chose the brilliant vine instead, due to costs. Bernie Hinton officially leaves his position on January 31, 2000. Bidding for Bree Tinney AIDS Awareness Week Nov. 30 through Dec. 4 Vicky Segall Gail Skennion P RIDE STAFF W RITER P RIDE STAFF WRITER It may very well resemble online f bidding found at eBay.com, however the Bree Tinney Memorial Scholarship Auction is unlike any other online auction. Rather than bidding on McDonald's toys or Beanie Babies, you may instead f ind yourself placing bids f or baby-sitters, food, art work, and a variety of other interesting items. The Bree Tinney Memorial Auction usually raises $1,000 a year f or the Bree Tinney Memorial Scholarship—an annual cash award given to an individual who is a Women's Studies major or minor. The scholarship i s in honor of Bree Tinney, a transfer student who was one of the first Women's Studies majors at CSUSM. In addition t6 being one of the pioneering students for Women's Studies, Tinney also worked f or the University's library. Pat Worden, who has played a principal role in handling the Memorial Auction in past years and in the present, knew Tinney when she j oined the quilting group at CSUSM. Worden said Tinney had transferred to CSUSM around 1992, but was diagnosed with breast cancer and passed away in the fall of 1993. Joan Gundersen, a past director of the Women's Studies Department, began the Memorial Auction around 1994. Gundersen believed Tinney was a f ine example of a Women's Studies student and named the Memorial Scholarship on her behalf. Pat Worden says that when the auction first began, the collection of auction items and bidding were all done by e-mail. Now, however, donations and bidding all take place on the web. "The thing we work hardest at is encouraging people to donate for the auction," says Worden. "There's always tremendous enthusiasm f or the items." She encourages the CSUSM community to send contributions for the auction so there will be more items to bid on. "Anyone can contribute," adds Worden. And anyone can bid, too. "What's f un is watching the bidding wars take place," says Worden. The bids will be accepted starting Monday, December 6 at noon until Thursday, December 16 at noon online at: http://www.csusm.edu/auction. Auction contributions are being accepted now. To contribute items or services contact Eugenia Villamarin at eugenia@mailhostl.csusm.edu or at Craven Hall 1222, extension 4826. Items may also be donated by visiting the? Bree Tinney Memorial Auction web page. The auction items will be on display in the library beginning November 29 through December 17. For additional information on the auction or to place bids on items (starting December 6) visit the Bree Tinney Memorial Auction web page at: http://www.csusm.edu/auction. World AIDS Day will be celebrated at CSUSM on Wednesday, December 1. The Peer Education and Support Program, a campus club affiliated with Counseling and Psychological Services, will be sponsoring the events of the day. Chandra Osborn, Peer Educator, is the Chair of the event. In hopes to promote attention f or AIDS Awareness Week, CSUSM lias lined up the following events: On Dec. 1 speakers who are HIV positive will be coming to the University Bldg, Room #101 at 1:00pm until 3:00pm to discuss their own experiences to help raise students' awareness Mid provide/educational materials, This event is open to all members of the CSUSM community (students, faculty, staff). Additionally, panels from the AIDS Quilt Project will be displayed on campus also on Wednesday, December 1. These panels (12 feet x 12 feet) are made from individual squares — each square made by someone who has been impacted by HIV/AIDS (e.g., some squares are made by surviving family members, partners, co-workers). "Make-A-Memory" fabric and materials will be available on Wednesday, December 1 (9:00am - 2:00pm) at the tables in Founder's Plaza for those in the CSUSM community who wish to make a square for someone impacted by HIV/AIDS whom they have known. According to Dr. Michelle Boutte Burke, faculty advisor for C SUSM's Peer Education Support Group, red ribbons are currently being given out in support of AIDS Awareness Week. They are available at Counseling and Psychological Services located at the Palomar/Pomerado Health Services Bldg. Suite 100, or at her office in Craven #4110. She stresses that this is a very important event for our campus. Dr. Boutte Burke says that oral testing f or AIDS and counseling services will resume at PPHS as early as next semester when they are able to have enough available staff to meet the c ampus' needs. She and Reina Abeyta, LVN at health services will be attending special training classes in December and January through the California AIDS Coalition that will enable In recent months the media them to provide pre- and postcoverage on AIDS has been less- counseling services f or AIDS ening, „ perhaps due t o the testing at this location.

See AIDS pg. 4 �DEAR EDITORS: REACTION TO ALICIA'S LETTER I am normally not too shaken up by the little organizational setups, rallies, booths, and so forth that plague our campus and my trek from class to class, but last week I was particularly disturbed. "National Smokeout Day".* ? Pfft,_give me a break! "Quit smoking for one day." Ha! Quitting for one day would just force you to make it up the next day, and besides, if you're a young smoker now is the best time to start! I do empathize for older smokers who are doomed to a life of smoking out of a hole in their neck, but the newest generation of smokers will not have to suffer the same fate. In ten to twenty years cybernetic lungs will flood our hospitals reaffirming our faith in nicotine, the wonder drug. Instead of smear ads, health organizations will be fighting for media airtime to PROMOTE smoking. They'll want to sell their cybernetic lungs, not only for the tidy profit, but because these "cyberlungs" will actually IMPROVE respiration. Metaphorically speaking, we'll be putting our butts out on Mother Nature's poorly crafted invention. And to those behind "National Smokeout Day" (PEAS), I will have to humbly decline. You had your heart in the right place, but perhaps your little rally would be better setup in a retirement home. Personally,I'd like to be first on the list to get my new cybernetic lung. They aren't going to give them out to just anyone, you know. Only the hardworking smokers who've made the tobacco industry what it is today will benefit from improved respiration. So go buy a pack, hell, buy a carton, it'll pay off before you know it. Anyway, I've got a cigarette to smoke.. It's a long smoky road to that "cyberlung," but well worth it. . I find it very disturbing as a student of this university that people feel the need to point fingers of blame especially when individuals don't know all of the facts. Students at this university are .usually very unaware of the occurrences within many of the departments of this campus community, so how can the students blame the administration? As the readers of the PRIDE we must assume that we are not given all of the information. We know that for the first article regarding the faucets, we were only given one side of the story. The retraction gave another side of the story. As adults we can make our own assumptions at that point but we will never know all of the facts. By bringing this issue up again we are just building on a dead issue. I think everyone should take this as a learning experience and walk away. Always remember there are two sides of a story but we will never know the truth because we aren't there to experience it; Respectfully, Upset Smoker DEAR EDITORS: Recently, I read that World AIDS Day will be celebrated on our small, San Marcos campus. Speakers will share their stories with students; free condoms and information will be passed out; panels of the AIDS quilt will be displayed. If World AIDS Day is being given such a prominent place on our campus, why was Veteran's Day not even mentioned. Some may argue that AIDS is an issue affecting today, a thing of now, that Veteran's Day does not affect us. However, Veteran's Day is a day that should be taken seriously. For it is more than just a federal holiday where mail delivery ceases and government employees take the day off. i t is a day to remember the hundreds of thousands of brave soldiers who fought and died valiantly for the freedom that we too often take for granted. As young citizens of this great country, we need to be reminded of what men and women have gone through to protect what rightfully belongs to every man, woman or child. Freedom comes at great cost. We need to be reminded how precious freedom is, and how great that cost. To people who think Veteran's Day is little more than an excuse to take off work, talk to men like the one I know who still experiences pain from the shrapnel left in his body from his days in Vietnam; talk to men like Senator John McCain who spent years in enemy prisoner camps; talk to men like my friend's grandfather who stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, surviving to tell of the hoirific massacre laying before them in the blood stained sand. That blood is the heroic mark of those who died To dismiss thendeath is a tragedy. Because for every breath lost, every life killed in the ugly reality of war, the freedom of so many more was ensured. Every man and woman, dead or alive, who is a veteran of this country's armed services, deserves our utmost honor, dignity, and respect. It was wrong and inexcusable for the administration to overlook the importance of Veteran's Day. It is time to do more than what is politically correct and do what is right. Joshua Stacey DEAR EDITORS: I wish to make a comment regarding the article on the Great American Smokeout. I have great reservations regarding the statistic provided by the American Cancer Society ACS) on the death attributed to smoking whereby it stated that cigarettes kill more Americans than AIDS, alcohol, car accidents, drugs and fires combined. Thirty percent of the US pollution smokes. Sooner or later, just like everyone else, this group of people will die. So I guess one might say that among those who died thirty percent smoked which gave credence to the ACS statistics. Don't get me wrong. I think the Great American Smokeout is for a good cause. I smoked for over twenty years and quit cold turkey. It was not easy. Surprisingly, there are no known effective programs for people who wish to quit smoking. Unlike the alcohol and drug r ehab' programs whereby the patient is admitted into a clinic for a week or so under clinical supervision, the stop-smoking programs available on the other hand consist o£a lecture, interaction among fellow smokers, and handed a bunch of anti-smoking pamphlets all in a day. Then they are left to fend for themselves - no counseling for members of the family. Just left to climb the walls. Its tougher to quit smoking than to quit drugs or alcohol. No drugs but I was an alcohol abuser. Where are the treatment centers? AYN RAND REVISITED BY CSUSM STUDENT GOVERNMENT Joel A. Montes Ayn Rand was a controversial person. Her harshest critics characterized her work as being a form of philosophical plagiarism, while other critics have claimed her views were not unique, but instead were a rehash of older philosophical works. These critics have gone so far as to state that she was nothing less than an insecure female in a male dominated world, thus her emphasis on "self-interest." Rand's critics would lead people to believe that her followers are a bunch of insecure crackpots with serious psychological and emotional problems. Nevertheless, Rand attracted an interesting 'lot' and there still exists a group of followers. Alan Greenspan was a former "groupie." .~ A fair assessment of Rand's work would be to say that her writings are an introduction to philosophy and critical thinking. What strikes me about her quasi-philosophical views is what I consider a most unique phrase to describe a human being. In her subtle reactionary mode, Rand says, "The individual is the smallest minority." A profound thought in a society that emphasizes groups, class, and generalizations! CSUSM's student body and the ICC have carried Rand's view in their administrative authority to disburse student finances by awarding individual students money to finance their classroom projects. Although it appears like a form of "nepotism" in that the latest two individuals just happen to be BOD members, it nonetheless provides great opportunities for extreme individualists like myself. Those of you who walk with only your shadow can, with an academic purpose in mind, receive funding for what may be unending reasons. For example, if you're short on cash during "rush week" you can ask the ICC for money to pay for your books. If you have to go on a field trip for a research paper,-say..: • L.A.'s MOCA, you can ask for money to pay for gas, food, admission, and books or articles relating to the specific exhibition, etc. Maybe you "need" to go to a business conference, but you can't afford it. ICC will pay for your transportation costs, hotel and incidentals for attending this academic event. What is great about this is that you don't have to waste your time in meetings. Ideological differences, are also an unnecessary worry amid the smiling and shaking of hands. Just go one week before to the ICC meeting to get on the agenda for the following week tRobert's Rules of Ordet stuff) and state your purpose. The next week, be sure you have a good presentation, supporting documents to demonstrate the academic relevance of your request, or receipts for a retroactive fund. "Individuals" should take full advantage of these resources while they are available, especially if you don't fit into a peg. With student government members giving themselves Christmas bonuses for organizing barbecues throughout the semester, there is no reason why you should be denied. As long as you keep an academic purpose in mind, and contribute to student government through tuition fees and a future degree benefiting all of society, you deserve the money. CSUSM Student Body Government, although a faceless institution, does provide "individuals" an opportunity to contribute to CSUSM diversity which makes them paradoxically rather unique. Further, I believe that alcohol is a much more damaging addiction than tobacco yet I don't hear of any sustained, concerted effort by any group, government or private, to campaign with equal vigor against the alcohol industry. On the contrary they make it so that drinking seems glamorous, advertising beer as refreshment. One can get "snockered" with beer as bad as liquor or wine. By the way, it is now advertised that drinking wine is healthy. Try driving down the freeways after consuming a bottle of Thunderbird. I don't condone smoking. I hate smoke specially as an ex-smoker. However, I have not heard of any case involving domestic violence, assaults, or vehicular accidents, DUIS (driving under the influence of smoking) as the direct result of smoking. But refresh yourself with a six pack of beer and the outcome could be different. And where are the millions of dollars collected from the tobacco industry for the purpose of curbing smoking for a healthier lifestyle ending up? Not only has the skyrocketing cost of cigarette started an old age profession (smuggling) but statistically, the levies and fines produced no significant result in reducing consumption. Thirty percent of the population still smokes. More young adults smoke now than ever before. The high cost of cigarettes ($30.00 per carton) did not discourage smoking. On the other hand, it caused more financial burden particularly for multiple smoker families. I suggest the following; In addition to education, the moneys generated from the lawsuits against the tobacco industry should be used to establish a comprehensive antismoking rehab program, paid by the health insurance, whereby an individual who wishes to quit smoking, is admitted into a clinic and given treatment and released with some expectancy of staying smoke free, plus provided with the opportunity for follow up. Further, I suggest that there should be an equally sustained campaign, including fines, lawsuits, bad publicity and all against the use of alcohol. Most alcoholics are smokers. Cure the alcoholism and you cure smoking.

Her debut album Let There Be Eve., covers topics that any girl growing up in the "hood" can relate to. She covers everything from being down for your man in "Gotta Man" to having your girls back in "Love is Blind" and "My B***." For those of you struggling through hard times and hard choices, her cut entitled "Heaven Only Knows" will help you see the light at the end of the tunnel. A word of caution for those who have sensitive ears and c an't get past the word "nigga" or foul language, this CD probably isn't for you.

Anyone who looks into one of the eight rooms on the Academic Hall's second floor can see computer labs full of students busilly working on computers — too many students, in fact. The campus's computer labs have become extremely overcrowded this semester with the influx of new students, as well as a shortage of computers and space. "I think that the labs are really good for the students because they have a chance to get information or work on reports (and) papers that they need to finish," said first-year s tudent John Cedres. "But it does get extremely crowded and it is unfair for some students who really need to get on a computer." "The situation could be helped with more funding, buildings, labs and people," according to lab monitorCharles Pratt, addingthat some students waist valuable time, another contributing factor to the problem. "Just as well, students shouldn't play around on the computers. They should get to work and just pound away until it is done." Despite overcrowding, Pratt said students should not just give uplookingfor a computer on campus. Classes also take up time and space in the computer labs as well. Pratt adivsed that students look around for labs that are open between class times when the main opan-access lab is full. "They should look for open labs. The class schedule and times are printed and posted right by the door," he said. The second floor of the Academic Hall is the main level for all computer labs. The labs consist of Macintosh computers as well as IBMs and compatible software, too. Students have access to the labs to work on reports, check email (electronic mail) or access information from the Internet. Students always have access to room ACD 202, which is the main computer lab always open for student use. Computer lab hours are 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday-Thursday 7 a.m. and 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fridays. Weekend hours are 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m on Sundays. Intramurals delayed, Students receive scholarships but basketball ready By Andrew Bailey Staff Writer Although intramural sports have been put on hold for the last few weeks due to problems obtaining insurance and lack of interest, Associated Students officials have announced they will be starting this month. The insurance needed by the AS to start intramural sports is scheduled to come through this week. The obtainment of this insurance was a major factor behind the delay in the start of intramurals, according to AS President Charles Ragland. Another problem was the lack of interest and support for other sports in the program like flag football, volleyball and soccer. "Basketball was our most popular sport," said Ragland. "More people signed up for basketball than any other sport. We were easily able to organize enough teams for a league." Basketball is scheduled to start Oct 23. The other sports will not be disbanded for the semester, however. Aseriesofone-daytournaments will be organized for these sports so as to not leave the people who want to play them with nothing to do. The facilities for volleyball and soccer and football are not completely finished y et The field needs to be check for safety and the lines need to be drawn, added Ragland. The sand volleyball court is notfinishedyet because the sand has not arrived. As for basketball, facilities are another reason why it will start on time. "We have worked out a deal with Palomar College that will let us use their gym as the site for the basketball games with no cost," said Ragland. Renewed efforts will be made to start leagues for volleyball, soccer, football and softball next semester, but it is all based on the interest and support showed by the students and faculty on campus, Ragland said. Two Cal State San Marcos students, Elizabeth Crocker-Ericson and Vonda Sigstad, recently received Indian Health Service scholarships which will provide them approximately $11,500 per year and can be renewed for up to six years, it was announced last week. Both Crocker-Ericson and Sigstad, who are members of the Cherokee nation, are juniors in CSUSM's Sociology program. CrockerEricson and Sigstad were among 300 recipients of Indian Health Service scholarships, and were selected from more than 13,000 applicants. Crocker-Ericson, 38, lives in Oceanside and is the mother of six children (and the stepmother of three). According to CrockerEricson, in high school she felt that she was not smart enough to go to college. Instead, she entered the workforce and started a family. Years later, while taking classes at MiraCosta College in Oceanside, she learned that it was dyslexia that thwarted her learning ability in high school. She said she will use the scholarship fund to finish her bachelor's degree at CSUSM. ShehopestocontinueontoCSUSM's master's program and help children of Native American ancestry as part of the Indian Child Welfare Act program. Sigstad, also 38, lives in San Marcos and is the mother of two children. She has worked Public Affairs Office/Photo courtesy Vonda Sigstad (left) and Elizabeth Crocker-Erickson with children most of her adultlife, but said wanted to do more. She re-entered college with the goal of starting group homes for children who become victims of AIDS. Sigstad's deep concern for the health and welfare of children led her to CSUSM's Sociology program, she said. She will use the scholarship to complete her sociology-degree and then to go on to San Diego State University for graduate studies in social work and public health. After graduation from college, she will work on developing the group homes for children on Indian reservations. �WHAT'S NEWS Spanish gets intense this Nov.

John Wheeler/Staff Photographer University offers off-campus living By Paul Hilker Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos may not have dormitories yet, but there are other options available to those who need a place to live near the campus. Just two miles off campus is a university-sponsored housing project composed of 12 units. The project is at an apartment complex on Ash Lane in San Marcos, called Islands. The housing project is a great opporunity to meet other students, and live near the campus for an affordable price, according to campus Housing Services. The complex contains one-, two-, and three-bedroom suites. Students can choose between single, or double occupancy bedrooms. Public transportation to the campus is available for those who need it. Because San Marcos is a new campus, it needs projects like the housing to initiate a sense of community among the students. According to Mike LeBrun, afirst- yearstudentat CSUSM,thehousing program is a good way to meetnewpeople andgetinvolved with other students from campus. There are currently two community living advisers staying in the complex who answer any questions new occupants might have about housing facilities or other housing services. Both advisers, Heather Law and Brad Ward, are students at CSUSM. Since the services are new, recreational opportunities are still in the process of being developed. Tanis Brown, head of Housing Services, said that much is being done to insure convenience of location and reasonable cost for students. Programs like monthly potlucks, birthday parties and other activities are being planned to increase the students' comfort and satisfaction within the complex. Applicants for the housing must pay a non-refundable application fee of $35, and fill out an evaluation form to determine roommate compatibility. Cost per student is $2,600 for a standard double occupancy bedroom and $3,800for a standard single, which includes utilities.. Four payment plans are available. The apartments are leased to students for the academic year. All of the apartments are fully furnished and include a stove, dishwasher and refrigerator. Furnishings include a couch, chair, coffee table, end table, table lamp and dining table with chairs. Each student also isprovided with a twin bed, chest of drawers and a desk with chair. All apartments are wired with phone jacks and cableTV. Selectapartmentscome with microwaves and/or clothes washer and dryer. Students interested in the offcampus housing program can contact Tanis Brown at 7504952, or write to Housing Services, CSU San Marcos, San Marcos, CA 92096-0001. Gastaneda to author report fo State of Hawaii Lillian Vega Castaneda, a professor in the College of Education, has been selected to write a literature review on current research and theory in thefieldof early childhood education and care for the State of Hawaii. Castaneda's proposal for the review was selectedfromamong 45 professors of education by program staff of the Hawaii Community Foundation and the Henry and Dorothy Castle Fund for Children, America's oldest special-purpose charitable fund for children. The review, which will be published and made available to 200 state agencies, private agencies, schools, colleges and libraries, will analyze effective practices, programs and service delivery models, as well as the underlying theory surrounding the health, welfare and education services to young children and their families. The review will help to organize the body of relevant literature, and inform future program planning, development and implementation efforts surrounding the delivery of services to young children. Cal State San Marcos President Dr. Bill Stacy noted that "California State University, San Marcos is delighted to have the chance to serve the early childhood education and care community in the Pacific Rim. The Castle Fund for children and the John Dewey Fund helped start the University of Chicago Lab School in the 1890s and is continuing to invest in forward-looking institutions, people and programs. We look forward to our continuing outreach to the many communities we serve." Castaneda joined CSUSM's College of Education in 1992 and received her Ed.D.fromHarvard University. �Don't forget victims ^ Cal State San Maree^hn^^d the EDITORIAL ^SwiMarcos is a u n i v e r s i t y ^ t t f f l p e d i ^ ^ ^ f j ^ ^ n a e n t j l of all people, regardless of, tfeefrage, s ex or etifiiikity.

Koenig BUSINESS MANAGER Joyce Kolb NEWS EDITOR Tony Barton ON-LINE EDITOR TyCarss FEATURE EDITOR John Loch ENTERTAINMENT EDITORS Jill Ballard, Julia McKinlay TECH EDITOR ToddFederman PHOTO EDITOR David Taylor The verdict has been reached and the dividing line has been drawn—butitisnot the kind of line you might think it is. When I talk about the kind of line drawn as a result of the OJ Simpson trial, I mean that a division has been drawn between those who care about victims of crimes like murder and those who care more for a "fallen hero" instead. This kind of division holds no racial boundaries. Caucasians and African Americans share the blame equally. The day the verdict was read, I was shocked to hear the response of the Los Angeles Urban League's president on KNX 1070-AM radio. He talked about how pleased he was that the Los Angeles Police Department was exposed for the corrupt institution it is. Frankly, I could not agree more with that sentiment It is what h e said afterwards in response to a reporter's question that angered me. "Shouldn't the murders of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman be the focus of this case?" the reporter essentially asked. The bestthepresidentcoulddowasshrugitoff by saying, "Yeah, this case was also about murder and other things." •Murder* and "other things?" The sole case was murder. OJ Simpson was found not guilty and that decision needs to be accepted. As a result, however, the murders of Brown and Goldman technically remain unsolved, and that is a tragedy. Not to the president of the Los Angeles Urban League. He and his organization have gained important political clout now that African American citizens of Los Angeles have been vindicated when it comes to LA police corruption and disorganization. To top that, perhaps the most prominentAfrican American celebrity has been acquitted of murder. That response did not anger me nearly as much, however, as the reactions of Simpson fans in general. I remember the images broadcast on television and reported in local newspapers. People across racial lines cheered that the "Juice" was "let loose," and to hell with the murder victims and their families.

JfelF OENIG reminding America and the world how his life changed t he night h e found out his son was so brutally killed. Students at Palomar Collegecheered in the Student Union when the verdict was read, but the cheers outscreamed t he cries of those who felt for the victims nonetheless. If Simpson was found guilty, it should have been a sad moment If h e was found not guilty, as he was, t he moment should have been just as somber. His acquittal did not erase the murders. Yes, t he dividing line has been drawn. Not between "black" and "white," but between those who care for victims and their families and those who believe in false heroes. T here is no doubt Simpson abused his former wife, but that is not the issue for Simpson lovers. The only issue for a great many of those who cheered his acquittal is that now they can pay who-knows-howmuch to see him "tell his story" on pay-perview cable, or see him on television as a sports commentator or salesman or perhaps meet him on an airplane. No one, and I mean no one, must forget the two most important things to come out of this trial. First, our judicial system does work. The jury felt a reasonable doubt as to his guilt, and they had to acquit as they were required to do. That decision is to be respected. Secondly, and most importantly, two people are dead and two families must live with t he fact that t he murderer of their loved ones was never brought to justice. One of those victims was an unassuming friend of Nicole Brown, and she was the mother of Simpon's two youngest children. There is nothing to celebrate about t hat I have only one thing to say to those who have allowed celebrity status to blind them to t he cold, hard truth: save your star-crossed cheers and take just one moment to care.

Why has the graffiti not been removed from the student parking lots? What I want to know is why theTKEs (members ofTau Kappa Epsilon) were notfinedto pay for the cleanup of our campus parking lots. I think that it is a travesty ofjustice for the university to condone thefraternity's"tagging" of our parking facilities by not punishing those responsible. This sort of gang style exhibition of machismo should not be an acceptablefromany group on campus (I would be just as upset if the Christians painted a huge cross and a bleeding Christ hanging on it as if the local Ku Klux Man had written anti-Semitic slogans on the blacktop). This seems a blatant case of favoritism. Is it somehow acceptable for certain groups to write slogans on the walls? If this is true, then how can we keep anyone from writing whatever they like?

How can this be? As wide spread as "antigovernmenr groups are (e.g. Libertarians, Green Peace, this new militia movement, etc.), the politicians are neverin danger oflosingtheir position. How can this be? We like to believe that we are a nation of individuals, yet when I look at the masses I see a heard of like minds all mewling for normalcy. I see people obsessing about trivia and ignoring crucial issues. It matters little whether Simspon was guilty or innocent; it matters little whether the jury was biased; what matters is that this minuscule bit of hype has e clipsed i ssues like, homelessness, rape, poverty, starvation, war for profit and genocide. What the hell are we thinking? Are we thinking at all? Are these t he "family values" t hat t he "Right" wants us to mirror—values where this media circus holds the front page of every national paper and major network and the hungry are ignored on page E47? Is this the "change" that the "Left" is always clamoring for? Who owns you? How do you decide what is important (do you even decide)? Has government finally gotten smart and started using the media to direct our attention away f rom i ts misdealings? I was thinking of Rome and about t he coliseum, thinking about how the citizens' concerns for things of importance (like raiding Huns) was deflected onto meaningless spectator shows and clowning. I could not help but be reminded of our modern media. Do you watch "Seinfeld?" Do you laugh with David Letterman? Are your values packaged for you by the networks, the papers and the radio? What is important to you, and why is it important? Did you spend days wondering who shot J.R., but never worry about who shot John F. Kennedy? Sure I'm a liberal. I'm advocating change, but I'm not speaking out for Marxism today; today I'm just feeling wistful about the loss of the American dream — individual freedom — individual thought If you think you are free it is only because you watch so much TV that you cannot see the subtle chains that bind you hand and foot but mostly fetter your mind. The obsession with the flashy media-spun hype that turns our heads from the homeless in our neighborhpods, from the looming nationaldebt,fromlocalgangs murdering our children and from dysfunctional families; this media hype is the real issue here, not whether Simpson is guilty or whetherthejurywasbiased.

This opening of educational doors is also important to the San Diego County native population, according to Bonnie Biggs. The land Cal State San Marcos sits on was once occupied by the local Luiseno tribe. The relationships that have been developed with local native tribes is extremely important, she continued, "and to keep up those relationships is something I'm going to pursue until my dying day. I fs so fundamentally rooted in our Mission Statement" The Cal State San Marcos Pow Wow has its beginnings in a series of Native American story-tellings held at the former San Diego State North County campus library, according to Biggs. Both Biggs and Whitehorse were responsible for the development of the events, which were a success from the very beginning, Biggs said. "Four hundred people showed up to our first story-telling," she noted. The number of participants at the annual powwows has since grown to nearly 10,000. " Ifs one of the best pow wows in California," she said, "so that after a few years of doing this we'refinallygetting it right" Biggs credited the even's committee for providing the nuts and bolts behind the event "Theirspiritisso appreciated,"Biggs added. "I think it is one of the best examples of how the university adheres to the Mission Statement," Whitehorse explained, "that this university affirms and supports cultural diversity and not just by numbers." Indeed, according to Whitehorse and event coordinator Bonnie Biggs, Native Americans are sorely under-represented in American education. The pow wow provides a gateway for the kind of educational conversation that takes place between Native America and the community at large. "Ifs not an event where you just come to eatfrybread and look at the pretty feathers," said Biggs. "Ifs the preservation of indigenous cultures in this nation." The fact that Cal State San Marcos is open to Native Americans is in itself a barrier-breaker, explained Whitehorse. "It helps develop trust with institutions where there hasn't been a lot of trust," he said, adding that, traditionally, universities have been closed to the Native American population. Having a university that is open to the population helps Native Americans feel comfortable "to be native and still be a part of the educational system, and for Indian people that's very important." Whitehorse, who is of Lakota background, cited the number of Native American faculty and staff members as an example of the university's commitment to the indigenous population. "Having faculty and staff at all levels is also critically important," he explained. "Another thing that (having these people "We have a holy Mission Statement," on campus) does is that it provides a ve- she said, "and I like to do as much as I can" hicle to get information out to the native to uphold i t �Native American students get motivated By Tony Barton News Editor One hundred twelve Native American high school students represented roughly 80 tribes from southern California at Cal State University San Marcos on O ct 6 for the third annual American Indian College Motivation day. Students from as far San Diego and Riverside were on campus attending workshops, listening and participating in songs, and attending lectures aimed at motivating them to pursue higher education. "The main objective of the event was to, help the students attain their higher education goals," said Mary Wardell, who was the coordinator of the event According to Wardell, two steps used to motivate students were bringing them to a college campus and giving them a taste of the U niversity's c lassroom e xperience through the workshops. The day was opened with a prayer, after which students chose to attend two out of six offered workshops. Available were workshops on library technology, self esteem from a Native American's perspective, Southern California Indian History, Native American stereotypes, exploring cultural information on the internet, and financial aid available to Native Americans for higher education. "The first couple of years focused on more specific information,* said Director of Student Affirmative Action Carolina Cardenas, who was instrumental in starting the event three years ago. "Every year it evolves. This year we did more of what the students were telling us they wanted. Last year we told them lots of deadlines for things like financial aid. This year we showed them that in college this is the kind of hands on experience they will recieve." Having put together a large majority of the first event, Cardenas has since handed Wardell the job of coordinator. The self esteem workshop, according to the workshop speaker and director of the Trio program Calvin One Deer, was aimed at giving Native American students the confidence to pursue higher education. "Sometimes people think that self-esteem is an ego trip," h e said. " Ifs n ot I fs about confidence. We want to give Indian kids the confidence to go to college.* The American Indian College Motivation day was the kickoff to the Cal State San Marcos Pow Wow which occurred Oct7^8. Presented at this year's third annual Pow Wow were the food, arts, crafts and dances of local Indian cultures. College of Education receives its accreditation By Tony Barton News Editor Cal State University San Marcos' College of Education received high marks in itsfirstaccreditation by a national organizationthismonth. All subjectswere passed, none were identified as lacking, and seven programs were cited as "exemplary practice" by a team of experts, representing the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education(NCATE), who evaluated the teacher education programs. "You've got to be thrilled," said Dr. Steve Lilly, dean of the College of Education. "We really are as good as we want to be." Only roughly 40 percent of teacher education programs nationwide are accredited, no more than 2 percent of those have no weaknesses specified, and typically 1-3 programs are cited as "exemplary practice," according to Lilly. The experts who reviewed the college were from universities around the country Octel's advanced technology is making it possible for people all over the world to make their voices heard.

The NCATE accreditation stands for the nextfive years. T he NCATE review follows l ast summer's successful comprehensive review by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing(CTC), the state agency responsible for approving institutions that award teaching credentials. In the CTC review, the college received approval of both ifs elementary and middle school CLAD (Cross-cultural Language and A cademic D evelopment) and BCLAD (Bilingual Cross-cultural Language and Academic Development) programs, which prepare teachers to work with a diverse group of students. "This is an indication of out success n preparing teachers for schools in North San Diego County and the surrounding region. We are pleased that our partners in area schools, as well as our past and current teacher education students, were so supportive of our programs in their conversations with the CTC team," said Lilly of the accreditation. A CTC team granted CSUSM unconditional approval of ifs programs after interviewing faculty, current and former students, school superintendents and principals, and many others to evaluate the effectiveness of the programs. CTC evaluates all university programs in the state which prepare education personnel. Get SMART with campus Financial Aid By Tony Barton News Editor number seven in line for 15 to 20 minutes."

TrishNagy/StaffPhotographer Noted author Rabbi Wayne Dosick was a featured speaker on campus Oct. 13 as part of Make a Difference Day. Dosick spoke on the ethic of doing good to students and staff in ACD-102. Rabbi Wayne Dosick speaks at CSUSM By Greg Hoadley Staff Writer T h e Ethic of Doing Good* was the theme of a presentation given by noted author Rabbi Wayne Dosick Oct 13 on campus. Students and faculty attended the lecture as part of the kick-off for this year's Make a Difference Day, which is Oct 27. The event was sponsored by Cal State San Marcos and the Office of Service Learning. Dosick, the author of such books as T he Business Bible:Ten Commandments for Creating an Ethical Workplace* and "Golden Rules: Ten Values Parents Need to Teach Their Children,* spoke of the harsh realities of modern society on the one hand, and the good that can come from volunteering one's energy to benefit the world around them, on the other. Dosick said he sensed that religion has been trivialized in modern society, noting that while 90 percent of people profess a belief in God, only about 30 percent regularly attend church or synagogue. Due to separation of church and state, it becomes much harder to depend upon our religious leaders, he explained, since they are the ones who teach society what is right and wrong. This loss of values cannot be filled by the government, he added. T h e government has no sense of what is right and just,* he told the audience. "It only has a sense of the law.* Dosickpointedoutsomecontradictions of our times. On the one hand, we are a society of victims, he said. He cited the example of a senior citizen who won a multi-million-dollar lawsuit because she spilled hot coffee on herself in her moving automobile. People take no responsibility fortheir actions because society has somehow wronged them, he said. On the other hand, he continued, this is the "ME Decade.* To illustrate his point, Dosick told of his beloved boyhood heroes,the 1959Chicago White Sox baseball team. Theteamwonthepennantbasedon a foundation of teamwork and bringing winning baseball to theirfans,he said. He then contrasted this long-ago memory to today's greedy millionaire ballplayers, whose sole motivation is selling their services to the highest bidder, he noted. Such a society, which Dosick said condemns personal responsibility and teamwork, makes it that much harder to live a virtuous life while fulfilling one's goals, much less finding the time to make a !Making a difference starts with yourself' Rabbi Wayne Dosick difference in someone else's life. w In the end,* he said, "we count on ourselves. Making a difference starts with yourself. Every day when you go to work, you can raise or lower the spirit of those you work with, just by your attitude,* Dosick encouraged his audience to see beyond themselves, to "see the faces of those we are feeding; not the 'hungry' or the 'needy,' but the individual faces.* This leads to a third irony. T here arefivebillion people in the world,* he said. Through modern technology, we have the capacity tp feed seven billion people. Yet only four billion people are regularly fed.* But can one person make a difference through the ethic of doing good? Dosick said yes, as he pointed to the names of those once-simple, ordinary people, past and present, who were able to make a change for the better: Lech Walesa, a Polish plumber, was instrumental in gaining his nation's independence, Dosick cited. Today, Walesa is the president of Poland. Mother Teresa, now in her 80s, still strives to make the world a better place for the children, he continued. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was able to change our nation's consciousness on the issue of race. So how does one know if he or she is doing what is ethically good and making a positive difference? Dosick said he has what he calls the "Rodney King Syndrome.* "If my every action were shown on national TV for all to see, would I be ashamed or proud?* That is the question people must ask themselves. In closing, Dosick gave his listeners an easy reminder on how to live their lives and practice the ethic of doing good, underthepseudonym "ETHICS*—'E'stands for everywhere, T is all the time, 'H' is honesty, T is integrity, 'C' is compassion and <S' is for what is at stake: your reputation, your self esteem, your inner peace. �AMAZING PACKAGES AMAZING AIRFARES H AWAII $ 169 ow E .

San Marcos (Mulberry Plaza) Be prepared: flu is on its way I fs that time of year again. The weather has changed, midterms are here, students and staff are under stress and the first round of respiratory viruses have arrived. The media is also stating that the "flu" has arrived. According to San Diego County Public f: PRINCIPLES of SOUND RETIREMENT INVESTING Health Department there are no reported cases of true influenza yet Also, they are not predicting a harsh "flu season" as has been reported in the media. True influenza is a viral respiratory infection that strikes suddenly with high fever, bodyaches, frequently severe headache (especially around the eyes) dry hacking cough and ofter respiratory symptoms. Most young healthy adults will be able to recoverfromthe infection without much problem except missing a few days of classes or work. For others who are considered "high risk", the illness can be very serious with pneumonia and a long recovery being prominent To prevent this potentially serious illness each year an influenza "flu" vaccine is developed. It changes each year because although the clinical illness doesn't change the virus does. Viruses are very sneaky microbes. By the way, there are two significant influenza viruses, A &B. Type A causes the most severe illness. The vaccine this year protects against 2 viruses of the Atype and one of the B type. The best time to get the vaccine is essentially now through November because it often takes a few weeks to develop antibodies after vaccination. The immunity then lasts at its highest level for approximately three months. As with many preventive health practices people don't avail g DR. PEL mm. RINOLDS themselves to their benefits. One reason frequently given is that influenza is a nuisance illness. As previously stated it is very serious for high risk people and can strike even healthy people quickly causing pneumonia. Also, it is a major factor in loss of school and workdays. Secondly, people all too often have heard stories about reactions that mostly are not true andfrequentlygreatly exaggerated. Studies have demonstrated almost the same reported effects with vaccine or placebo (placebo being not an active vaccine). Also, the newer vaccines are purer and more sophisticated. The only true contraindication not to receive the vaccine is a serious allergy to eggs because the viruses used to create the vaccine are grown in egg cell-culture. Who should definitely receive the vaccine, i.e. the high-risk groups? They are as follows: 1. People with chronic lung or heart disease. This includes persons with asthma-which includes many college-age students. 2. People with chronic metabolic disease such as diabetes, kidney disease or people who are immunosuppressed. 3.

"I can barely make a slice of t oast I'm not adverse to technology, although I will admit that it does scare me immensely." The other three members of Gene played great yet remained in the very animated shadow of Rossiter. Although it should be mentioned that lead guitarist Steve Mason ("The Handsome One," as introduced by Rossiter) was infineform. Drummer Matt James and bassist Kevin Miles also played wonderfully. Gene played "Left-Handed," a song about coming out of the closet and losing one's mother's love. Upon being asked about his own sexual orientation Rossiter seemed slightly annoyed yet explained, *I refuse to give it a name, but I'm attracted to both men and women, although a lot of people seem to think that that means that I'm some screaming nymphomaniac who runs down the road in a caveman outfit grabbing anything in his path....which is a nice t hought but that certainly never happens." Even though the T>and has an obvious sex appeal, Rossiter denies any advancements by his fans, "Oh no, they're far too well behaved." Gene also played their ode to those who've lived and died and were shunned in the process, "For H ie Dead," and a sad song about a dead brother who's last dying signals went unnoticed, "London, Can You Wait?" When asked about his beliefs of the post-physical death Rossiter simply said, "I believe in soil." T hafs it? "Religion is created because humans cannot cope with the idea that there is no more than 70 years." If the religious hold beliefs out of fear then Rossiter avoids it for the same reason. "I'm very scared of death and I prefer not to think about it," he said. Even with that said, Gene still played the lush single "01ympian"withthewords, "Formidable and not afraid/Of the next world, just delayed." Gene also treated the audience to a "burial ofjustice" song called "Truth Rest Your Head," to which Rossiter introduced with a reference to OJ Simpson. "Ifs very easy to say, Yes OJ Simpson is guilty,' or, Y es OJ Simpson is innocent' Obviously it wasn't a trial, it was a TV show," he said of the recent trial. "In fact it was a fiasco and how the man managed to get a fair trial in the first place I really don't know, so Gene lead singer Martin Rossiter noticed that San Diego locals are, "horrendously anti-smoking, which is understandable, really." I really have no opinions on i t I am quite prepared to say I don't know enough information to say whether he is or not, but I hope that at least that policeman Mark Furman dies." But with all that lackof opinion stated, he still sang, "Truth rest your head/There is more than a life at stake h ere/For me you died tonight/So don't involve meinyourplans/Whenthe chat shows beckon/For me you died tonight" W hen h e's not s inging, Rossiter sometimes occupies himself with American afternoon talk shows. He marvels at the psychology of the guests. "I think they're mad in a wonderful way," h e noted. He even fantasizes about appearing in multi-disguises on various talk shows around the world, "spouting utter nonsense and scaring lots of children." He does, however, have a problem with shows such as Melrose Place because of their "art of compromise. They make a nod to feminism and they make a nod to the left, but when push comes to shove they always shy awayfromthefinalpunch." Rossiter doesn't enjoy making videos, either, "because all the people who make videos are frustrated film makers. They don't give a monkey's armpit about the actual song. They don't care. They're there to try and make something that will look good for their portfolio so they can get into Hollywood and t hafs what really, really annoys me." The band has a lot of touring to do before they can move on to their next album. Rossiter, however, is anxious to get beyond their current album "Olympian." A new album will hopefully leave the cliche Smiths comparisons in their wake. Even though Rossiter is part of such a wonderful group, h e still seems a little bit depressed and never finds himself fully satisfied. "I am human," h e somberly explained. He drowns his sorrows in alcohol and cigarettes. Even his songs cry for help. The song "Be My Light, Be My Guide" was played in full force. Gene introduced three new songs that Tuesday night and after the last song was played, the crowd was left wanting more. Gene came back for three encores. Nobody in the house dared decline such grand designs. �Letters Continued from page 5 Mr. Hoadley, I sincerely hope this article was a result of an assignment you weren't too interested in writing. I fs hard to imagine that someone on this campus would be so naive and uninformed as to believe these "facts* as you wrote them. In one sense, I agree with you. Congress did blow it in regards to funding for the arts. The budget should have at least been tripled. It would be more efficient if I just go through your article and point out some of your misinformation. C ongress's m oney i s t he public's money. Our money. Our tax dollars. In theory, that means they spend it on what the public wants. That obviously doesn't really happen, but if you'd check the Constitution, thafs what is supposed to happen. By cutting the funding for arts in America, Congress would be robbing the public. Since it would help to know what we're talking about here, I thought it might be good to figure out the cost of arts funding to the American taxpayer. Given the current budget of $438 million and a taxpaying population of about 240 million, it comes out to around $1.83 per person, peryear. I don't think thafs too much. In your second paragraph, you s tate t hat " the f ederal government...has no business funding arts.'' Although some of these programs might seem unreasonable to you personally, they are valid nonetheless. This pat- tern goes throughout the history of humanity. With very few exceptions, all the classic arts have been produced with state funding. Mozart worked for the emperor of Austria, Michaelangelo worked for the Catholic Church, Le Corbusier worked for t he French government As far as "surviving in a capitalist environment" is concerned, it barely merits comment Anyone with knowledge about the arts business will gladly elucidate how difficult it is to survive in a culture that has no artistic identity. If the American public had greater access to art, as opposed to corporate media, it might be easier to make a living with i t The arts are by no means a "luxury item." They constitute one of the few things we share with our fellow humans. It is a common bond between cultures, and I doubt you could find any business or industry that does not require some sort of artist in its overall structure to function. Thaf s just a f act Accessibility to art has often been a measure of how civilized a nation is. All the great cultures of the past owe much of their success to the quality of their arts. It is callous and grossly irresponsible to suggest that cutting a virtually nonexistent segment of the budget would benefit America, let alone relieve t he national debt in any way. Frankly, o ne of t he b iggest "luxury items" thafs been tossed about is military spending. You mention "Sesame Street" and Barney" as being two shows that would survive without public funding.

Tell me, what do you think most young kids would rather watch? "Sesame S treet" or "Beverly Hills 90210?* If children's shows are not publicly supported they die. That's a fact of economics. Theshowsthatthe Public Broadcasting System (PBS) produces do not reach as wide an audience as they should, partly because they're not as concerned with commercial success. This attitude allows them the luxury to produce p rograms which might actually be useful. I laughed when I read your " ...the i nfamous Robert Mapplethorpe photos (too lewd to describe here)." What do you knowaboutthem? Personally, I'm not offended by still-lifes and portraits. Perhaps you are? Oh, you must mean the homo-erotic ones! Well,frankly,some people have self respect and don't need to be homophobic. For your information (and I assume you're referring to the Cincinnati exhibit), Mapplethorpe's exhibition included several hundred photos, only 10or20ofwhich were homoerotic. These were in a separate wing and had limited access. If s doubtful anyone who didn't want to see them did. Incidentally, with t he $10-bill project you mentioned, you might have given some credit to one of the artists involved — David Avalos, a professor and program director of CSUSM's Visual and Performing Arts program. Also,fortherecord, that piece received no federal funding. You're right, the arts are important to our society. I'm sure even Jesse Helms agrees with t hat However, although some funding (a fairly large percentage) does comefromthe private sector, the federal government is not only obligated to fund the arts but ifs in the public's best interest that they continue to do so. If you think an educated populace is a good thing, then youH support continued funding. Art is a necessity in our lives. It keeps us motivated, inspired and helps us push the limits.

To answer many of these questions The Pride contacted the Planning, Design and Construction Staff here at CSUSM to see what, if any, plans addressing these concerns exist. In a discussion with Bradly Fenton, the Project Manager in the Planning, Design and Construction department, the Pride found that CSUSM is in the process of having a traffic engineer make arrangements to construct a traffic signal at the intersection of Craven and Palm Canyon. In order for any construction to be started an environmental impact study must be completed. Last month the study was finalized and made available for public review. From this point all that is left is moving forward with necessary documents and gaining the appropriate funding for the project. While the new parking lot F was being constructed, simultaneously plans for an intersection at the intersection of Craven and Palm Canyon were being implemented. The plans call for a sigPLANS, SEE page 2 On; Wednesday September 6 at approximately 5 p.m., a faculty member driving a late model Volkswagen van through the intersection of Craven and Palm Canyon Road struck a pedestrian crossing the road. The driver of the van, CSUSM faculty member Dr. Gary Addou, was questioned by CSUSM police. Pedestrian and faculty member Antonia Olivas, an assistant Librarian at Kellogg Library, received medical attention and was taken to a near by hospital. No charges are being filed by either party at this time. CSUSM police found that the driver was the party most at fault based on vehicle code 21950 (c) which states that "the driver of a vehicle approaching a pedestrian within a crosswalk shall reduce speed of the vehicle or take any action or other action relating to the operation of the vehicle as necessary to safeguard the safety of the pedestrian." However according to CSUSM police, some other mitigating factors contributed to the accident: The sun was directly in the driver's eyes, making it difficult to see in the direction of the pedestrian. It was also found that the victim did not see the van. She reportACCIDENT, SEE page 2 Gattey / T b M i « 6 at the intersection of Craven and Palm Canyon Rd.

In addition to this particular intersection plans for more signalized intersections throughout campus are being drafted. While the recent accident won't change any of the time tables for construction of a signalized intersection, it does expose the need for one. According to Fenton, the opening of lot F only exacerbated the need for a controlled intersection for the protection of both vehicles and pedestrians on campus. Fenton also stated, "A signalized intersection was mandatory for the amount of cars that are now using the intersection." Pedestrian bridges were an option; however each intersection would require four bridges. At a cost of half a million dollars each, bridges are not a feasible solution. Lighted intersections typically cost anywhere from 150 to 250 thousand dollars. Signalized intersections are significantly cheaper than pedestrian bridges. According to Fenton, bridges are typically a waste of money as well. Fenton also stated, "Traffic engineers have noted that people traditionally don't use pedestrian bridges if the cross walk is available. They still cross the street." Eventually lot C will have a parking structure, where a bridge may be built to come off the structure and connect to campus, however this project is six to seven years away. As soon as funding becomes available it should take approximately six months to complete the signalized intersection. The money has been requested, and if the proposed educational bond passes in November, the money will become available. That same bond will also fund the next campus building, the Social and Behavioral Sciences Building. After the environmental impact study has been completed, the project takes approximately six to eight months with documents and bidding. Construction takes about three months. At this point during next semester, assuming the funding is allocated, construction on the signalized intersection could be completed. r noto Dy David Gatley / The Pride C SUSM Police respond to the s cene of the accident on Wednesday.

Also, with the opening of lot F a new traffic situation has been presented at the intersection of Craven and Palm Canyon Road. This is something that students and faculty are not accustomed to and presents a very serious situa- tion, showing the importance that everyone going through the intersection pay full attention. "I want to remind everybody to be very cautious going through this intersection, including pedestrians and drivers. This intersection can be dangerous if people are not paying attention," says CSUSM Lt. Doug Miller.

Right now the gas prices run from about $2.87 to $3.32 and up. For students on-campus, gas isn't as much of an issue. On-campus students don't need to drive to class, and sometimes may not even own a car, while commuters are driving anywhere from a few miles to forty or more. Surprisingly, students who stay in on-campus housing sometimes pay less on their monthly housing than those renting an apartment in other areas of San Diego. At CSUSM, students can stay in oncampus housing apartments that are located at the base of the hill the college is built on. Built by the Allen and OHara business the CSUSM on-campus housing complex is walking distance from the school and can currently hold up to about 568 students. The dorms are built to be more like an apartment community than dormitories. The structures were built to look like apartments both on the inside and outside. At the University Village Apartments, where the students live on-campus, a 'private room' costs $700. One can have a 6person dorm or a four-person dorm. For a dorm that holds six people, a shared room costs $500. For a dorm that holds four people, the cost is $600. On average a oneperson apartment, that has all the same basic amenities as the dorms, would cost around $600; of course there are exceptions with slightly lower or higher prices depending on what part of San Marcos you live in. A two bedroom, on average, starts around $700, not including any extra bills. It gets a lot more expensive if you want newer or From SURFING, page 1 more conveniently located apartments as well. Melanee Pile, a current senior at CSUSM, currently works and lives and attends CSUSM. She is currently an RA for the UVA (University Village Apartments) and has lived in on-campus hous. ing since summer. Though RA's live in on-campus housing for free, the experiences are still the same. "I love it" she said, when I asked her how she likes living in the dorms. When asked if some students felt constrained by living with so many other students so close to where they go to school she replied saying, "not regular dorm style. Its more like an apartment feels." With an "open community, not like a (jail) cell." When asked about comparing it to living off campus and commuting to school she said its "easier than commuting." All last year Melanee commuted forty-five minutes to make it to campus. While not economically beneficial to everyone, namely those living at home or sharing housing off campus, living oncampus can benefit some students. For those students who want to stay in the oncampus apartments and avoid a commute to school, there is however a waiting list. With limited room, and all spots taken, the UVA has a waiting list for those seeking to get a spot. Fortunately for those wishing to live on-campus later in their academic careers and for students that will attend CSUSM in the coming years, a new parking structure for on-campus students is on the way in about a year and hopefully in three years a new "tower" of on-campus apartments will be put in to give more rooms for more students. On Saturday, Septermber 30 at 7:30 am - 3:00 pm at Crosswaithe Street in Oceanside tryouts will be held for Men's and Women's Shortboard and Coed Longboard. To sign up for tryouts students can go to the Field House Recreation Center counter. Students must bring a student ID and a photocopy and a photocopy of a health insurance card. Also a participation packet and entry form must befilledout, both are available at Field House. Students must also pay an entry fee (cash or check only At payable to ASI Surf Team) amounts are $15 if signed up by September 21, $20 if signed up by September 28, and $25 for beach entry.

JJ . Getsklw is a first time resident advisor who lived in the dorms last year. "Now that we have soccer, that's been a highlight for our residents." There have been many activities offered at the UVA this fall including free Monday night dinners put on by Bryan Dawson and his wife. "Any student loves free food. That's how we attract them to our programs." But the UVA isn't the only one producing fun activities for students to take part in. "Through the efforts of ASI, the Clarke Field House and the RA's, we've had a lot of interest in activities," Getsklw said. According to Getsklw, most of the problems RA's have encountered have revolved around noise complaints. With rooms of up to six roommates, each roommate is allowed to have three guests. "If it's a party or if alcohol is present, it's fine if all residents are over twenty one, if not then it's us who pour it out." If there is an incident with alcohol or marijuana, it is the resident advisor's job to write out an IR or incident report. "If it's a first time offence, the student has a conduct meeting held by either Bryan Dawson, Ryan McCrae or Desiree Woodruff. They handle all the conduct issues. RAs have nothing to do with the conduct meeting or punishment," Getsklw said. As Getkklw said, "Marijuana is the worst thing you can do here." The result of getting caught with marijuana is two strikes against the student. It takes three before a student can get evicted. "With a second strike, a student's contract is in jeopardy and the student is sent to the dean of students because there is an agreement with the campus on that issue." As for the freshman, they seem to be enjoying the overall experience of the UVA. According to Danielle Mitchell, she says, "I'm getting along with my roommate, especially since she's my best friend." As for Kierra Hunt's roommates, she says, "We're all pretty cooperative, sometimes we have misunderstandings over cleaning but we always resolve it." During the third week of school, open door week took place for siudents to mingle with each other. Alex Ingram said, "The RAs try hard but they should have done open door week during the first week of school." His roommate Alfon Allen said, "I have a problem with dorm rules, the quiet hours shouldn't be at (10:00 pm)." Their roommate Greg Moore said, "Everything's cool with my roommates but it's a lot like a war bunker. It teaches us responsibility and how to make situations good." Photp by Kelly Corrigan / The Pride C lub of t he W eek: A ccounting S ociety BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer If you are enrolled in any College Business Administration required class or even more specifically enrolled in an accounting class this semester then you have probably already been solicited to join the CSUSM Accounting Society. As you listened to your iPod or napped during a short introduction regarding the Accounting Society you missed a chance at a potentially prosperous semester, new friends and connections, and ultimately a future career in accounting. Most students would agree that this is not the best way to start a semester. Fortunately for those who are still interested or dare to be different and be involved with CSUSM making it the great campus that it is today, the Accounting Society is still looking for you. The CSUSM Accounting Society (as it is officially titled in Article One of the Bylaws for the group) is more commonly known as the Accounting Society to CSUSM students. "We are looking at increasing our memberships from interring business. And non-business students and keeping regular members active," stated Jessica Alfaro who is the current President of the Accounting Society who is an Accounting Major who plans to graduate this December of 2006 said Alfaro. The Accounting Society is recognized as "the oldest club", according to Alfaro, and was established before the current CSUSM campus was built and the school was hosted in a shopping center in San Marcos. The Accounting Society was originally created to "act as an interface for students and accounting i professionals and so students could get a good understanding of what the accounting industry was like," said Alfaro. The Accounting Society contributes to CSUSM by "presenting CSUSM in a strong and professional way while getting students prepared" for classes and future careers said Alfaro. A trend can be seen in the Accounting Society. "Accounting Society Alumni often times work in the firms that donate to CSUSM or directly to Accounting Society and other Alumni will also look at current members in the Accounting Society" for future positions said Alfaro. The Accounting Society holds two weekly meetings currently in Markstein Hall 104 on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 12 o'clock to 1 o'clock during University Hour. Students should expect "to get professional knowledge and to held August 30th said Alfaro. "All students are encouraged to get involved now and attend the meetings," said Alfaro. Still think that Accounting Society is not for you, maybe perhaps it's too stuffy? Upon calling a willing and patient Alfaro for some last minute questions regarding the Accounting Society late and extremely last minute on a Saturday night a familiar loud thumping beat of "Play that -funky music" by Wild Cherry throbbed through the phone. Open the door yourself and check out one of these meetings that the Accounting Society has to offer.

The Accounting Society also holds events off campus that help students with their careers and networking. This past week on September 7th the Accounting Society held and invent at Carlsbad Windmill called Clear Connections that "over 65 students and over 50 professionals attended," said Alfaro. The next two weeks will hold four meetings for the Accounting Society on the 13th, 14th, 20th, and the 21st of which they will be held in Markstein Hall 104 from 12 o'clock to 1 o'clock during University Hour, and foodprovided of course.

People worldwide have been expressing their condolences and appreciation for his contribution towards wildlife preservation. The Cal State San Marcos men's soccer team went into Saturday's game with the objective of winning for the university and in memory of Steve Irwin. On Saturday September 9, after two scoreless halves between CSUSM and visiting Pomona Pitzer, the game headed into double overtime. Senior Ben Crouse, a transfer from the University of Notre Dame, set up Freshman Bradley Seidenglanz for the game winning goal. Immediately after the goal, Seidenglanz sprinted towards the Cougar fans, raising his jersey and unveiling his "In Memory of Steve Irwin" undershirt. "I was a big fan of 'The Crocodile Hunter.' I use to watch him as a kid", said Seidenglanz. "The teammates and I thought of a way to celebrate his life." In an offensive 1-0 struggle, the men's team endured a physical contest, testing their will and determination. A visibly bigger and athletic Pomona team disrupted the play of the confident Cougars. "We were not as sharp, or focused* today," said Coach * Ron Pulvers. "Our concentration was o ff" On several occasions the Cou- Photo by David Gatley / The Pride Pictured above is number 16 CSUSM mens's defender Ben Crouse sending the ball up the field. gars were not able to capitalize on scoring opportunities which could have given them an early psychological and tactical advantage.

I have spent that week reflecting on the whole situation. Aaron Mansker, the off-duty cop who formerly worked at Palomar College, claims that Foley was swerving at various speeds on Interstate freeway 163 in the early hours after 2 AM, nearly hitting other cars and road barriers. He followed Foley to his home on Travertine Court in Poway, all the while making several attempts at pulling him over and attempting to let him know that he was an officer. I personally haven't had the best experiences with cops, partially because some of my friends are not that bright, and simply because I am Latino. I can remember one time playing basketball in an area that is not accustomed to diversity and having two cop cars pull onto the court with sirens blaring, asking me questions about who I was and what I was doing. That was in the sunlight, so I can only imagine what a black man who plays in the NFL would be thinking if someone claiming to be an offduty cop at 3 AM was following him while waiving a gun. For all Foley knew, Mansker could have been some crazy fan. I know many of you are probably saying, "Why do you have to bring race into this?" Well, my answer is that because whether you want to admit it or not, race is a factor in nearly everything in life. I suggest taking Intercultural Communication 330 with Fredi Avalos or Sociology Inequality 311 with Donna Goyer. Those classes could clear some things up for you. got to be honest and say that if I am driving at 3 AM and someone claiming to be an offduty cop tries to pull me over, there is no, way I am pulling over. I am waiting for back-up to show, because general protocol for most police departments state that an off-duty officer should not attempt an arrest immediately, but wait for uniformed officers to show up on the scene in marked cars. I, like Foley can only react on my own experiences. Someone in plain clothes waiving a gun at me is not an officer, even if he claims to be one. Mansker claims that Foley reached for his waistband when he stepped out of his vehicle near his home. I don't know about any of you, but hearing that piece of news reminded me of the scene in "Crash" when Ryan Phillippe's character kills Larenz Tate's character. Phillippe thinks Tate is reaching for a gun in his jacket and Tate is actually trying to show him that they own the same religious artifact. Foley is a menacing looking dude, but everyone I know who has had experiences with him has had nothing but the nicest things to say about him. I have spent numerous days at Chargers training camp the past two seasons and have witnessed his interaction with the fans. Other than Ladainian Tomlinson there may be no greater Chargers ambassador to younger fans than Foley. I am in no way defending Foley because the guy does have some alcohol related problems in his past and at the time l am writing this not much has been confirmed regarding this incident. All I am saying is that there are sketchy circumstances on both sides of the ball in this situation. By the way, if I offended any of the officers on this campus, I didn't mean it. I love you guys, so don't bother me. Comments can be sent to Sando026@csusm.edu. Letter to the Editor: Pedestrians need to be careful Do you all remember the days when Mommy and Daddy would constantly tell you to look both ways before you walk out into the street? Did you all somehow forget how to look once you got to college? After the accident that happened on Wednesday around 5:15pm, I would hope that most of you would realize that it could have been you lying in the road. I do not know all the details, because it was minutes after I had crossed, but I hope anyone involved in the accident is alright. I understand everyone is in a hurry to get home or to work so you just walk out to get to your car thinking "they'll stop, I'm a pedestrian, I have the right a way" but that won't always play in your favor. With the new lot F open, the line of cars trying to leave down the hill is incredible! Why not instead of walking by yourself across the road, holding up that line of traffic, you wait until there is a group of students t o cross. Let the cars get out as well, I'm sure they are in just as big of a hurry as you are. We can't always have the campus police out there directing traffic so we need to be adults here and pay attention! Don't just step off the curb and HOPE the cars see you and stop, because they may not. I don't think we'll be getting a traf- fic light with the flashing hand allowing you to cross anytime soon so until then, look both ways before you cross, and let a few cars go until there are a few people to walk across with you.

It's easy to watch and easy on the brain. There isn't much plot, just pure entertainment. If you like movies like Lost Boys, Duces Wild, and American Outlaws, you'll like The Covenant Although the five boys, Caleb (Steven Strait)* Progue (Taylor Kitsch), Chase (Sebastion Stan),Reid (Toby Hemingway), and Tylef (Chance Crawford) are descendants from witches, they use something like super powers friore than spells and chants. Hurling balls of energy at one another, the boys struggle to maintain control of this addictive habit because using the powers they have will lead to very premature aging. The action scenes are fun and the special effects are well done, but not overdone. There are a lot of similar looking characters, which is a little confusing at first, but once you place seven or so names with characters, it's an enjoyable movie. There are also a few scantily clad girls weaved into the movie to add some diversity, but they don't have much to do with the story. As far as suspense goes, it doesn't have it. This is an action film with hot bodies. There aren't any surprises and the end is left Open for a sequel. There's no question about who the bad guy is and no misleading suspects. Everything is laid out for the audience as they watch the characters figure out what they already know. There are a few minor issues that you just have to ignore in order to enjoy this film. The first and most obvious is the appearance of ghosts or spirits called "darklings" are never explained. The characters know what they are, but the audience is kept in the dark. Fortunately, they don't seem to do much except give the audience a cheap thrill. There are also a few characters introduced in the beginning that serve no purpose in the mpvie, adding identity confusion to an already overstuffed cast of young,, attractive actors. It's hard enough to tell them apart without adding needless characters. One last thing that I found annoying was the use of dialogue to explain the plot. Despite these faults of this movie, I did enjoy living in a fantasy world for an hour and a half where regular people get to have super natural powers. Where the good guy is completely good and the bad guy is almost completely bad. The Covenant is probably not going to win any awards, but it will keep you entertained.

Noone seems to agree on the origins of the Margarita, theories ranging from a bar owner in Acapulco named Margarita, and a bartender infatuated with a young lady named Margarita. However, this much is certain: the originator and all those who expanded upon his or her recipe are~true innovators in the colorful world of mixed drinks. A Strawberry Margarita has four basic i ngredients: tequila, strawberries, lime juice, and triple sec. It may come as a surprise that so many variations have been derived from this basic recipe. Still, while some prefer to use fresh strawberries, some prefer frozen, and others simply must have frozen sliced strawberries in syrup to please their sweet tooth, Tequila is another bone of contention as many have their own favorite brand. Arguably, however, any silver tequila will add a distinctiveflavorwhose heat will still juxtapose beautifully with the icy sweetness of the 'rita. The biggest difference, perhaps, between the various Strawberry 'Ritas out there, is the method of blending. In some, the ingredients are stirred together with ice in a mixing glass and strained into a margarita glass. In others, the ingredients are tossed into a blender and intermingled into a slushy consistency: Yet, no matter what recipe or Photo by Sophie Brink / The Pride method is preferred, the Strawberry Margarita will leave its drinker duly refreshed. A respectable Strawberry Margarita recipe (one serving): 1 Vi ounces silver tequila, 14 ounce Cointreau, 1 ounce fresh lime juice (or Rose's lime juice for a sweeter flavor), 4 ounces frozen strawberries (partially thawed), 1 scoop ice, Lime slice,1 fresh strawberry, Coarse sugar. Combine all ingredients, save for the lime slice, fresh strawberry, and coarse sugar, in a blender and blend until desired consistency is achieved. Rub the rim of a margarita glass with lime and dip into coarse sugar t o coat. Pour- mixture into glass and garnish with the fresh strawberry. Enjoy! IP ^^W^OKï^Itt j y E ÉU BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer September marks the end of sumijier, aad;as suclr it i i the last chance to enjoy summer brews and the fruitflavoredbeers. Thefirsttime I had a Pete's Wicked Strawberry Blonde, I was a little apprehensive. The name brought to mind images of a number of sugary "malt beverages" such as Smirnoff Ice or Mike's Hard Lemonade. While many people enjoy those sorts of drinks, I am overpowered by their sweetness. So it took a considerable amount of Restaurant reassurance before I tried one and the result was an enjoyable afternoon and a new summer tradition. . P e t e ' s Wicked Strawberry Blonde is a Golden Lager brewed and bottled since the late 1980's by Pete's Brewing Company in San Antonio, Texas. I t ^ widely available beer, usually J ol| in six and twelve packs for a reasonable price. Pete's Wicked Strawberry Blonde is brewed with pale and wheat malts, and yakima and tettnang hops. At five percent alcohol per Photo by David Gatley / The Pride volume, it's an excellent beer for a warm afternoon, though its unique taste may not be ideal for a extended drinking session. Pete's Wicked Strawberry Blonde pours smooth, leaving a thick, rich head which dissolves slowly leaving ropy lacings on the side of the glass. The beer itself is a pleasantly clear amber color. As it pours, you can clearly smell the wheat and a hint of strawberryflavor.It has a slightly sweet andfruitytaste, but not an over powering one. Hie titular strawberry taste is not an artificial sort of strawberry candyflavor;instead it's more like the actual berry's taste. The beer as a whole has a deep and smooth taste; the sweetness of strawberry tempered against the rich, full taste of the wheat malt. The mouthfeel is cool and refreshing, and slightly crisp and carbonated. The aftertaste is a little flat, but not unpleasant. Although available year round, this beer is best appreciated during the long days of summer; and since those days are quickly running out, it's best to enjoy a few before you miss your opportunity for the year. Review: arieta's F ine Mexican Food BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer Marieta's Fine Mexican Food is one of 18 restaurants in Old California Restaurant Row, a mission-style complex that also offers a variety ofboutiques and an Edward's Cinema. Located on San Marcos Boulevard, Restaurant Row is less than three miles from CSUSM. The visitor to Marieta's, upon entering, is enveloped by the smell of Mexican spices and a softy buzzing energy. Low, rough-hewn beamed ceilings support hanging lamps of colored glass and numerous string lights of various shapes and sizes. The relative dimness contributes to the overall feeling of intimacy of the interior. Painted in hues of green and honey-beige, the walls are bedecked with ceramic sun sculptures, wooden carvings, sepia-toned photographs, and paintings, one in particular depicting women dancing in a courtyard and clad in traditional mantillas. The evening my husband and I visited, in less than five minutes the hostess had showed us to our table, our server had taken our order for drinks and an appetizer, and chips and salsa had been delivered to our table. Our server remained speedy and attentive, indeed brisk, the rest of the evening. Patrons of the restatfraat were diverse, including|pmil^ groups and young and^oider couples. All seemed relaxed and happy, diving into carne asada, enchiladas, tacos, and other fare with a healthy gusto. The presentation of my meal, Enchiladas Suizas, was simple, rice on one side, beans on the other, two enchiladas in between that were smothered in cheese and green tomatillo sauce and stuffed with moist, flavorful, shredded chicken. For the tequila connoisseur or those simply seeking to become intimately acquainted with tequila, Marieta's boasts a collection of 50. One of the 50 managed to find its merry way into my strawberry margarita, smoothly blended and garnished with a slice of orange. For two entrees, two drinks, and %o$e, appetizer we paid $42188.
