May 1, will you boycott?
BY RACHELL REYES
Pride Staff Writer
In a national effort to oppose the proposed law HR-4437, people of every race
and ethnicity will boycott the policy on
May 1. Known as The Great American
Boycott, May 1 will also be marked as
"the day without an immigrant."
The pending legislation of HR-4437,
also known as the Border Protection,
Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration
Control Act o f2005, will seek to improve
homeland security. One of the major
points of the proposal is that an illegal
immigrant would be classified as a felon.
Photo by Christine Vaughan / The Pride The U.S. will no longer give asylum to
illegal immigrants, as well. Another
highlight of HR-4437 is the proposed
construction of a 700 mile fence along the
U.S./Mexico border.
The May 1 nationwide movement calls
for a boycott of the economy: No work,
no school, and no buy.
Some Cal State San Marcos students
are preparing to participate and show
their support in different ways on May L
Jose Cruz, an immigrant from Mexico,
received an e-mail promoting him to boycott his classes on May 1.
"I don't support the boycott of classes,
but I do support the immigrant cause,"
said Cruz, a graduating senior of Literature and Writing Studies. "Everyone who
goes to work everyday is a vital part of
the economy."
Jenny Aaron, a graduating senior in
Liberal Studies, plans to attend all of
her class that day, despite the boycott.
However, she will show her support by
boycotting businesses. "It's a doubleedged sword for undocumented workers,
because they have to earn a paycheck and
yet would want to support the immigration movement," explained Aaron.
Many students will also be showing
their support against HR-4437 by rallying on Thursday, April 27, at the Library
Plaza, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Be Black. Be Proud.
African American graduates to
receive honorary recognition
BY J ENNY NGUYEN
Pride Staff Writer
The African American Recognition
Planning Committee will be hosting its
10th Annual African American Recognition Ceremony for the black seniors that
will be graduating. The ceremony will be
held on Thursday, May 4, at 5 p.m. in the
Grand Salon of the Clarke Field House at
Cal State San Marcos.
"This is not a graduation ceremony, but
rather a recognition ceremony," saidOneita
Billings, chair of the African American
Faculty &Staff Association.
"It is about a celebration of culture.
People should view the recognition ceremony as a facet of integrated education
and celebrate it as progress in our nation
and progress for ALL OF US as people,"
said graduating senior, Antoinette Johnson.
"It's nice to be recognized, there are
programs out there and people out there
for the black students," said graduating
. senior, Katrena Robinson.
"Every ethnic group congratulates its
members, everyone deserves to be recognized," said Lorenzo Grey, fellow graduating senior.
"At CSUSM, we more often then not
have to deal with being the only black student, or one of two, in class," said Kayonni
Williams.
This year, 72 African American students will be graduating. "We are growing in numbers, this is twice the number
of last year," said Billings. As of Fall '05,
statistics show that of the 7,500 students

Silence makes a statement
"Saying

Wednesday, April 26, marks the tenth
annual Day of Silence, where thousands
of students nationwide will choose not to
speak for an entire day in order to make a
statement in support of the gay and lesbian
community.

of action where supporters, who believe

crimination and harassment, and in effect,
the silencing experienced by lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender students and their
allies.
The Day of Silence started in 1996 at the
University of Virginia, with over 150 students participating in the demonstration. In
2001, the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network became the official sponsor with new funding, staff and volunteers. Last year's event had more than
450,000 students participating from nearly
4,000 schools, colleges and universities.

"We as students want to voice
our opinions and concerns," said
Herminia Ramirez, a student
activist and organizer of the rally.
"We are not planning to walk out
of classes or work obligations.
Our goal is to provoke thought
and to educate other students
about HR-4437."
Although other students like
Cruz do not condone boycotting
classes, there will be students
who will not attend their classes
to show support. Maria Sanchez,
also an immigrant f rom Mexico,
will be one of those students who
will be absent on May 1.
"I know the struggles that
[immigrants] face and part of my
participation is the understanding
that I was once in that same situation," said Sanchez, a graduating
History major.
Lorrin Hernandez, a junior of
Literature and Writing, is fully
aware of both sides of the issue.

hand, is in opposition of the

students to take part in this full day

are asked to wear all white on Wednesday, April 26, for The Day of
Silence. Anyone interested in participating is asked to meet in front of
the Kellogg Library at 12:00 noon, and asked to remain silent to respect
those who have been forcibly silenced or choose to remain silent due to
intimidation and fear.
Silence Cards will be given out to anyone with questions about the
event. A sample Silence Card may read something like: "Please understand my reasons for not speaking today. My deliberate silence echoes
that silence, which is caused by harassment, prejudice, and discrimination. Think about the voices you are not hearing today. What are you
going to do to end the silence?"

Hernandez. "You can't alienate

May 1 is not just an effort to
oppose HR 4437, but also a way
for immigrants to take action.
Although there are concerns
about attendance, there is little
question that May 1 will impact
the campus.
"I hope [the boycott] will
inform students about the importance of this situation," said
Ramirez. "People's f utures are at

voicing our concerns about this

While there is a national concern for the consequences of May
1, students on the campus are
more concerned with awareness.

�RIAA and Music Downloading at CSUSM
BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM
Pride Staff Writer
In their ongoing campaign
against illegal music sharing, the
Recording Industry Association
of America recently announced
that, despite its numerous lawsuits, record sales are continuing to decline. The RIAA's
announcement comes on the
heels of a continuing onslaught
of lawsuits against music downloaders nation-wide. Although
having fallen out of headline
news coverage, the R IAA has
issued nearly 20,000 lawsuits
since September 2003, with
many of the most recent suits
being brought against college
students.
At CSUSM, no students have
been cited by the R IAA in over
a year, and before that "just a
couple" of students had run-
ins with the RIAA, said Wayne
Veres, dean of the Instructional
and Information Technology Services. In both incidents, letters of
cease and desist were sent to the
offending students, and the issue
was quickly resolved. At colleges across the* nation, campus
computers and email accounts
have been used for the setup of
file sharing software, commonly
used for trading music online.
The R IAA uses email and IP
addresses to track down the
offenders, many of which lead
them straight to college campuses.
"Our students are adults here,
and it's not a problem," stated
Veres in regards to RIAA lawsuits and illegal music downloading. Although "personal use of
computer facilities" is restricted
under section 3.9 of the CSUSM
computer access policies, any
cursory examination of computers on campus reveal obvious and
frequent personal use, a common
example being the abundance of
sites like myspace.com listed in
the browser history.
While Veres observes that Cal
State S&n Marcos does not have
any way of actually observing
or regulating the use of campus
computers, the college does use
a complex system of anti-virus
software that cuts out most file
sharing traffic by blocking ports
often used in the transfer of such
material. This system does not
stop the use of file sharing programs, yet the virus software
installed on campus recognizes
the protocols used by such programs as potentially unsafe and
thus blocks all Internet traffic
over the ports in use.

Campus Resources: Helpful technology on Kellogg's second floor
BY SUMMER CONNERY
Pride Staff Writer
The Kellogg Library's second
floor offers more resources than
students might be aware of.
Immediately to the right of the
ground floor entrance, the Media
Library contains a wide variety of films and programming,
including 16 multimedia editing
stations, two sections of which,
according to Suzanne Rios,
Library Assistant in the Media
Library, are more "beefed up,"
than the others. These have DVD
and VHS editing capabilities,
including programs to transfer
video f rom different sized tapes
on to a VHS or DVD.
The most underutilized portions
of the Media Library, according to Rios, are the CD and DVD
recorders, along with the dual
VCRs. Students can feel free to
go into the media library to transfer music from a cassette tape to
a CD, a movie from a VHS to a
DVD, or transfer video from one
VHS to another. All of the stations
are set up with a program, created
by an alumnus of CSUSM, which
will walk users through each of
. the editing options, step by step.
There is also additional help provided by the Systems Staff from
8am to 5pm for more in-depth
assistance.
While those interested in taking
a piece of the Media Library
home with them are likely to
favor DVDs, Rios states that,
"I p ersonally d on't like h aving
DVDs here; they just don't withstand the use and abuse of people
using them." The Media Library
began its collection of DVDs
about three years ago, and since
then has had to replace many of
them due to damage. They are
now ordering most everything
in DVD form, yet, "It is going to
take a while," says Rios.
Some might havQ confused
the Media Library with the other
underutilized service directly
across from it. Chris Thaeler, a
knowledgeable student working
at the Student Technology Help
Desk, was more than willing to
clarify what sets it apart.
"Basically, the Help Desk
services all of the students on
campus whenever they have computer problems."
Recently, this included some
confusion regarding with many
students' Computer Competency Requirements (CCR).
word processing skills, spreadsheets skills, internet skills, and
ethics and viruses knowledge.
(General Knowledge is no longer
being given.) This requirement
must be fulfilled b y the end of
the student's second semester of
attendance at CSUSM. A fter the
second semester, if the CCR has
not been fulfilled, a registration
hold will be placed, preventing
any further registration activity..."
As for why some students who
met the requirement recently
M a r y A tkins, w h o o perates a s

CSUSM's Scheduling & Software Coordinator as well as its
Computer Competency Requirement Coordinator, clarified the
matter with the Pride via email.
"The purpose of the Computer
Competency Requirement is to
ensure that students are competent in the basics of computer
use early in their studies. These
four basic competencies include:
again, Ms. Atkins explains.
"A short while ago, we changed
the BANNER page to reflect the
fact that the General Knowledge
section of the CCR was no longer

"On Thursday, April 13, 2006,
the System Development people
corrected the Advising Transcript so that it also reflected this
fact. For a short while, the Advising Transcript was showing that
students still needed to take this
section when they, in fact, did
not. This discrepancy reflected
the process of getting all "scripts'

Students still uncertain about
their CCR can check their status
through 'Smart Web' and can
read a description of the program
at www.csusm.edu/iits/ccr. This
link provides a sample exam,
study materials, and the exam
schedule.
No matter a student's computer
literacy, the Help Desk makes a
variety of equipment available
for check out, including laptops,
video equipment (camcorders
and digital cameras), headphones,
and tape recorders, to name a
few. These resources are limited,
however, so they check items out
on a first come first serve basis.
Though the Help Desk is there
to aid students in need, they do
not have any office supplies for
sale. Helpful as they may be,
"we're not Office Depot," said
Thaeler. For more information,

Soon to be graduate, Sandra Cannona,

health, it's relevant to my major and I also
wanted to offer to support."
"VOX is a national organization. Ours
is the 3rd chapter in San Diego," said cofounder Costales. "It's established and running well at SDSU and UCSD". Costales
believes he might be the first male founder
in the nation for thè VOX movement.
Staff advisor for VOX, psychology professor Sonja Ruiz PhD, is proud to advise
the organization.
"Chad and Ana Liza came and talked to
me about it. I thought it was a great idea. I
respect Ana Liza and Chad," said Dr. Ruiz,
"It's a great opportunity to educate students."
For those unfamiliar with VOX, or the
contributions of Planned Parenthood, Cos"We need all the support we can get,"

discussion," Dr. Ruiz answered, with Soriano adding, "we'll hear them out, and then
explain our standing".
Costales, however, took a more decisive
stance.
"I don' think it's fair to deny education.
We can see what's in the media, we should
be able to educate ourselves about having
safe sex . .. about the truth, medically accurate facts."
VOX will soon be recognized as a student organization and will have a recognition kick-off party, possibly during finals
week. "Alumni, faculty, staff, and students
are f ree to attend all of our meetings and
events," announced Soriano.
The first meeting was already highly
informative. Attendees learned that, among
other things Costales explained as contrary to popular belief, "abortion accounts
for only 8% of services offered by Planned
Parenthood." Soriano informed attendees
that many in the media "portray emergency
contraceptive pills (ECP) and abortion pills
as the same thing , and they're not; ECP
prevents pregnancy in an emergency, while
an abortion pill (works) within the first few
weeks of pregnancy."

more to learn from

Soriano and VOX as a
whole, and those
interested can contact

The Dallas Mavericks will beat their worst ball in the playoffs.
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
In the second round of the West
playoffs the Spurs will beat the
Mavericks because the Spurs have
much better guard play than the
Mavericks and the Mavs won't be
able to compete with Emmanuel
Ginobli and Tony Parker.
An all L.A. match-up here is
going to be interesting. I think it
would be a sign of the Apocalypse
if the Clippers were to beat the
Lakers in the playoffs so we can't
have that happen. The Lakers will
beat the Clippers, because the
Lakers have the best player in the
NBA, Kobe.
In the Western Conference
Finals the Spurs will sweep the
Lakers. Kobe can't go 5-on-l, in
basketball that is. The Lakers did
beat the Spurs one time in the regular season but the Spurs are just
too good and will await the Eastern Conference winner.
In the Eastern first round playoffs the Detroit Pistons could send
half their team to take on the Milwaukee Bucks and still sweep
them with a double digit victory
in each game.
The NBA wants the Cleveland
Cavaliers to beat the Washington Wizards because their golden
goose for marketing, LeBron
James, is a big draw for T.V. ratings, but I think the Wizards will
take the series. The Wiz took
three-of-four in the regular season
and the trifecta of Gilbert Arenas,
Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler
is much better than any combo on
the Cavs.
I think the Chicago Bulls will
take the Miami Heat to six games
in the first round, but the Heat has
too much talent to lose in the first
round. The Bulls barely made the
playoffs and for some reason they
have many of the experts choosing them for the upset. There is no
way I am picking against Batman
(Shaq) and Robin (Wade) because
Michael Jeffrey Jordan certainly
isn't walking onto that court for
the Bulls.
The New Jersey Nets have been
en fuego lately and the Indiana
Pacers have been beat up this
whole season. The Pacers haven't
had an opportunity to get into a
flow because one key person has
always been out, whereas the Nets
have been healthy all season and it
will show in this match-up.
In the second round of the East
playoffs the Pistons will take
down the Wiz without even breaking a sweat. The Wizards couldn't
even win if they were actual wizards and used magic.
The Nets will beat the Heat,
because like I said before regarding the Pacers, the same applies to
the Heat, thus ending my prediction. The Nets attack the hoop on .
nearly every possession so look
for Shaq to be in constant foul
trouble and that will be the determining factor in the series.
The Pistons will cut the Nets
down in the East. Great defense
always beats great offense and
the Nets really don't play defense
at all whereas the Pistons do both
exceptionally well.
In the NBA Finals there will be
a rematch. I .think it will go seven
games again and the Pistons will
take game seven this time around
with Chauncey Billups winning
his second Finals MVP award.

�Response to letter to letter to the
the Editor:
Editor:
Cheyenne,
I read your letter to the
editor in "The Pride". I just
wanted to point out to you
that in your letter you wrote
that there is an, 'importance
for such an event' (the gay
wedding). Cheyenne, this is
a false statement.
ASI is promoting something that is illegal in our
country and I don't see
importance in this. Weekly
I see protests, conventions,
and parades on campus that
are promoting rights and
issues that many people on
campus are tired of. I plead
that ASI and the LBGTA
stop pushing these issues in
students lives. Forcing these
issues down our. throats is
actually impeding on our
rights. Many people do not
wish to see a transgender
fashion show or gay wedding, and i think it is wrong
to promote something that
is completely anti-America. I am not looking for a
fight and i can tell you that
i really am not a hateful
person, i am just doing my
duty to our community and
asking in a respectful way
to stop such behavior.
Hopefully we can make
some headway to more
important topics \o promote on our campus at Cal
State San Marcos University. If you need ideas, i qan
think of plenty and i would
be willing to help.

I recently saw an article in the newest edition of the pride that
slandered Catholics and
Christians. It upsets me
that the pride thinks
everyone should love
and support the LGBTA
club when people from
LGBTA (in this case,
Jay Franklin) ridicule
and slander members of
our society.
It is becoming obvious to many students
that i have discussed
this with that LGBTA
does not practice the
'tolerance' that they
pretend to live by and
hide behind. I know of
many people that were
deeply offended by this
article and I, as a student, suggest that Jay

THE PRIDE
Ï Î Ï K ' S 'HOT DEAD'
BY RACHEL CARIE WANN
Pride Staff Writer
She's been out of the spotlight for quite
some time, three years in fact, following
the release of her third in a string of relatively successful albums in 2003. But
where's the rebel pop princess been this
whole time? Well, she got married for one
thing, to Motocross hot shot, Carey Hart.
And she spent time putting a lot of thought
into her next projects. The effort paid off
as Pink is back. In fact, she's back in a big
way, and she's anything but dead, as her
newly released record clearly insists.
As her aggressive album cover depicts,
on "I'm Not Dead" no one is safe f rom
being called out in one way or another
through Pink's fierce lyrics.
Coming out swinging, Pink is addressing
more controversial issues than ever before
in her edgy blend of expletive-filled, rockinfused pop. Pink uses "I'm Not Dead" as
her platform to speak out against everything from bulimia to current events.
On "Stupid Girls," the album's first
single, Pink attacks the abundance of disgusting celebrity qualities that are keeping
the masses infatuated.
Along with the track comes a highly
satirical video that badly mocks the likes
of a Daisy Duke-wearing, suds-up, General Lee-washing Jessica Simpson, skinny
doggy-toting, oversized glasses wearing
Nicole Richie, and of course, the infamous
sidekick addicted poor driver, Lindsay
Lohan.
On the reminiscent "Conversations with
My 13 Year Old Self," and "Runaway,"
Pink struggles with her remaining innerteenager. She also attacks a prominent
politician and his agenda on "Dear Mr.
President."
Bringing an acoustic guitar driven sound
into the mix on "The One That Got Away,"
Pink adds some musical diversity to the
record, as she does with the R&B flavored
take on the concept of insane materialism
in the aptly named "I Got Money Now."
Pink chooses on this record to collaborate with some unexpected artists. While
she could have her pick of celebrity rappers
Photo courtesy of La Face Records
and singers across the board, Pink chooses
instead to work with the Indigo Girls and
her very own father on the hidden track, "I
Have Seen the Rain."
Whatever she chooses to sing about,
essentially doing whatever she wants, on
this new record Pink proves' that she's
alive and well.

The movie American Dreamz
had potential in taking a direct
stab at American pop culture, its
current presidential office, terrorism, and the glue binding it
all together: American Idol. The
plot was clever enough to lure a
packed audience into the matinee on Friday, but when I left
the theater I felt more unscathed
than when I walked in two hours
earlier.
The movie careens through
several subplots,
revolving
around the show "American
Dreamz," a near direct take-off
of American Idol. It eventually brings all the contestants
together in a predictable ending
to the grand finale of the show.

This week, the music world
and TLC fans everywhere will
remember the life of Lisa " Left
Eye" Lopes, which was tragically cut short four years ago on
April 25, 2002. Known to most
of the world as a member of
the widely successful Hip-Hop
R&B trio, TLC, Lopes stood out
among the remaining members
as the most outspoken and controversial of the group and l eft
the world to remember both her
talent, adding flavor and originality to TLC with her raps and
spunky stage presence, and the
public drama that infiltrated her
life.
v Born in Philly on May 27,1971,
Lopes joined TLC at the age of 20
in the early nineties in Atlanta,
Georgia with Tionne "TBoz"
Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli"
Thomas. The flashy clothing
worn by the girls that featured a staple wardrobe of
baggy pants and condoms as
accessories garnered TLC
almost as much as attention
as their in-your-face songs
which quickly escalated the
singer's/rapper's career to
extreme heights as the girl
group took a stand in their
music speaking out against
prevalent issues such as
AIDS and safe-sex and
youth crime. TLC went on
to produce top-ten hit-filled
records beginning with
"Ooooooohhh... On the TLC
Tip," the infamous "CrazySexyCool" which included
such giant hits as "Creep"
and "Waterfalls" and "Fan
Mail" which featured the
radio-friendly hits, "No
Scrubs" and "Unpretty."
Aside f rom her musical
accolades, Lopes garnered
as much, if not more, press

ii ; .,
for her baby-faced bad-girl
together
of Cowell's notoriously cold
demeanor and arrogance.
The movie takes a very uncreative and unenthused stab at the
current White House office, with
Dennis Quaid playing President
Staton. The dim, light-hearted
President, already in the midst
of a nervous breakdown, is torn
between his political guidance
and his newfound interest in
public opinion. Dafoe plays the
overbearing chief of staff and
puppeteers the Commander in
Chief via an earpiece throughout the movie, scripting every
line and sedating the President
reputation in the music world and
the tabloid headlines of her constant antics and exploits, such
as her tumultuous relationship
with her then-boyfriend, NFL
star Andre Rison, whose mansion she famously set fire to in
1994. Lopes pleaded guilty to
arson and accepted five years of
probation and a hefty, but this
wasn't the last time the ladies of
TLC found themselves in controversy. Lopes, along with her band
mates, fought publicly with their
manager, singer Pebbles, and
again with her record label Pebbetone prior to the release of her
much-anticipated
solo-record,
"Supernova." They also endured
filing for bankruptcy and dealing
with substance abuse and chronic
diseases in the eye of the ever
critical media.
The band was in the middle of
recording a new album in 2002
when tragedy struck. Sadly,
Lopes's life was cut short by her
untimely sudden death. While
vacationing in La Cieba, Honduras, Lopes was volunteering at a holistic healing center
and a children's institute, when
Lopes and her party of eight that
included her brother and sister,
were involved in a car crash that
proved to be fatal for Lopes M e r
she sustained a blow to the head.
While moderately f unny, and
while die-hard f ans of American Idol will find its take of the
shows previous contestants fairly
amusing, I felt the movie never
went where it had the potential
to go.
American Dreamz stomps on
the pedal and then lets off the
gas, toying with the notion of
taking a stance on what's currently warped with American
society. The political statement
I felt it was trying to make was
mild at best and never reached

one is best saved for a rental.
Lopes was the driver and the only
fatality out of the eight tourists.
Shortly after Lopes's death,
Lopes's band mates called in to
the MTV show TRL to express
their deepest sorrows stating that
"Lisa had one of the biggest hearts
of anybody we've ever known. She
did charity work with kids for the
lupus disease. She adopted a little
girl named Snow.... Lisa could do
anything s hrput her miiid to."
Lopes's impact on* those she
encountered and workeffWith was
evident in a statement from Antonio "L A." Reidj4 CEO and p resident of Arista^Records", the label
which T LC *called home for over
10 years.
"No words can possibly express
the sorrow and sadness I feel for
this most devastating loss", Reid
said in a statement following
Lopes's death. He went on to say
that "Lisa was not only a gifted
and talented musical inspiration,
but more importantly, she was like
a daughter to me. My thoughts
and prayers are with Lisa's family
and friends. Her legacy will be
remembered forever."
Lisa " Left Eye" Lopes was laid
to rest in Lithonia, Georgia on
May 3, 2002. She will not soon
be forgotten as her legacy continues to live on in her music.

Immigration rally
Five students help protest immigration law
VOL. XV NO. 15
BY RACHELL REYES &
CHRISTINE VAUGHAN
Pride Staff Writers
Five freshmen students coordinated a community-wide rally
on campus in protest of the antiimmigration bill HR 4437, on
Monday, May 1.
The rally, in conjunction with
the national Great American
Boycott, served to give students
the opportunity to have their
voices héard about social policies and issues regarding immigration.
"We just talked about it, and
never did anything about it,"
said Herminia Ramirez, lead
organizer, about her f rustrations with socially conscientious
courses. "Our problem was that
we needed to take action."
Ramirez, with the support
of four fellow WMST 101 students, Marisol Marquina, Kathie
Alvizo, Karen Leon, and Carmen
Contreras, organized the rally
attracting over 300 participants
and 11 guest speakers.
"I am very humbled to be a
part of this movement," said
Josh Harris, guest speaker and

i t's important to recognize all
those who won't be here today."
Harris expressed how many
immigrants, legal and illegal,
aren't often visible in our society. "The public doesn't see
them. Today, part of getting our
word out is making them visible.
We will not be invisible anymore."
Lori Walkington, a Women's
Studies major and volunteer at
the rally, was disappointed with
the lack of diversity in student
involvement. "We are a diverse

classrooms, and yet when we

Former Governor Gray Davis,
in December of 2001, made it a
priority to stimulate the economy by developing and f unding six statewide projects. Cal

Markstein Hall, the first of the

by Davis.
The nearly 88,000 square-foot

University Police Report: Prelude to Fall 2006
BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON
Pride Staff Writer
With the spring semester
coming to a close, the University
Police Department is at work on
new programs for Fall 2006. Each
new project is designed to better
serve the campus community as
well as increase the department's
visibility and connections with
students and faculty.
The campus will be stocking a
new property-marking product,
Data Dots, for sale this Fall. Data
Dots is a kit containing microscopic dots that can be painted
onto mp3 players, cellular phones,
laptops, books, and other valuables
for identification purposes. In the
event that these items are stolen,

the department's need for making
themselves more visible on
campus, not only to students but
to the faculty as well. Along with
familiarizing themselves with the
building's structure, officers will
also be in charge of connecting
with faculty and staff working in
the building.

developing an acquaintance rape
program to be implemented this
fall. The program is still in the
works, but Lt. Miller describes
this new service as a strategy for
rape prevention.
"The best time to set up inter-
vention to prevent acquaintance
rape is in the fall with incoming
freshmen and sophomores during
the first two weeks of the fall
semester," said Miller.
Campus police will be making
door-to-door visits at University
Village to educate tenants on the
facts of acquaintance rape. Male
tenants will receive information
about the facts of consent whereas
female tenants will receive information about how to avoid becoming victims of rape. The program
targets mainly UVA tenants, but
information on rape prevention is
available to all students.
The University Police Department hopes to extend its services
to all incoming and existing students at the start of the academic
year to reinforce its presence on
campus.

forced on them perhaps, because
it is important for everybody to
see the kind of contributions
important, respected community leaders provide to this
institution. It is a model for
others; it signifies the belief in
not only today, but in the future
of this institution."
One of the elements each
successful campus needs is
community partnership, said
Murray Galinson, chairman
of the CSU Board of Trustees.
"It takes community leaders to
embrace the campus and help it
reach its goals."
"We appreciate what a university does for its students and
surrounding
communities,"
said Donor Ken Markstein.
"Since it's becoming impossible for the state to finance
the complete needs of its universities, it's imperative for the
community to be involved not
only in moral support, but in
financial support as well."
National and local government entities presented the
Markstein Family and the
campus with honorary recognition plaques and proclamations.
Awards were presented on
behalf of Congressman Darrell
Issa, Cruz Bustamante, Senator
Bill Morrow and the California
Legislator, State Assemblyman
Mark Wyland, the San Diego

the City of Oceanside, the City
of Escondido, the City of Carlsbad, the City of San Marcos,

Interview with Roy lee ASI President Elect
BY DAVID GATLEY
Pride Staff Writer
The Associated Students,
Inc. (ASI) President Elect Roy
Lee for 2006/2007 offered his
first open speech at The Crash
Awards Ceremony, on Wednesday, April 26.
Lee's speech came under fire
from one of the editors at the
Pride Newspaper based on the
fact she found it unprofessional.
According to the opinion article,
the writer felt that Lee was not
as polished or as professional as
the current ASI president, Marc
DeGuzman.
"There are all kinds of leadership styles, you cannot compare
me and Marc DeGuzman," said
Lee in response to the article.
"Neither one of us is better than
the other, just different."
"Leadership is a case sensitive
and is based on the individual."
Though he did read the article prior to going to print, Lee
was informed of the opinion
piece and was given a chance to
respond.
"I could have been more polished that evening, but I chose
not. I wanted to present myself
to my peers," commented Lee
about the speech overall.
Lee wanted to convey that he
respects anyone's opinion on
his leadership style and would
be willing to discuss it with
anyone.
"There is more to school than
classes, there is campus life and
it plays a significant role," said

immigrants'
problem,
but a national issue that
requires attention, said
Walkington. "What I see
happening with this bill
is the intent to enforce
slavery once again, but
upon a different people."
"I would encourage students to view the
events of May 1 in a historical context," said
Scott Greenwood, assistant professor of Political
Science. "We have a long
history of integrating
immigrants, both legal
and illegal, into our soci-
Lee in response to a comment in
regards to his speech.
Lee, a current business and
marketing major at Cal State San
Marcos, could not comment on
next year's ASI board but did say
that he hopes to deliver a strong
University Hour. "Overall it will
benefit students," said Lee.
ety, and the events of May
1,2006, are simply another
stage in this long historical
process."
Dr. Jorge Riquelme,
professor of Liberal Studies, was among the speakers at the rally. Riquelme
discussed how the United
States is demonstrating conflicting messages
regarding
immigration.
One such conflict centers on the Mexican flag
debate, arguing between
images of Mexican-nationalism versus patriotism to
America.
"I do not perceive the
flags from different countries as an insult to America," said Riquelme. Flags
are not symbols of allegiance, Riquelme went on
to say, they are symbols of
our heritage and culture.
The rally served as a plat-
form, and as a reminder, to
urge students to vote in the
November primary elections. In November, voters
will have the opportunity
to elect, or reelect, members of the Congress, the
political entity responsible
for passing legislative bills,
such as HR 4437.
"When you vote, that is
when you show your true
colors," said Riquelme.
"For the next election in
November, remember who
voted yay and who voted
nay for HR4437."
"I think they did a fabulous job," said Professor
Linda Pershing. "These
young women have never
done a rally before, and
I applaud their efforts to
voice their concerns about
an issue that personally
affects them."

Moukhalis s experience as an undergrad
BY KAYONNI WILLIAMS
Pride Staff Writer
"Well, I want to congratulate each and
every one on the hard work and the excellent achievement," said Salah Moukhalis,
PhD, to the class o f2006.
With graduation around the corner,
many graduates are excited, but may be
f earful of what to expect after the completion of undergrad school. Literature &
Writing Studies professor, Dr. Moukhalis, shared his experience as a graduate
as well as words of encouragement for the
class o f2006.
Moukhalis was a first generation college student, like many who will be graduating this semester. "My father never
had a chance to go to school. Living under
French colonial rule, it was very difficult
for him or his single mom to afford the
expenses of school. At a very early age he
had to support his mother. My mother had
an elementary education, but never made
it to college. So, I am first-generation college student." Dr. Moukhalis attended and
graduated from Mohammed V University
in Rabat, Morocco, with a degree in "English Language and Literature".
Having studied in Morocco, Moukhalis's experience was different than that of
an undergraduate here.
"In terms of opportunities, college education in Morocco is subsidized by the
government and is free. In some schools
it is an open admission policy. Once students graduate from high school, their
choice of college is limited to their major.
The programs are very carefully designed
to ensure a much focused education and
at the same time to introduce students to
a global perspective. I remember in high
school, for example, I had to learn about
the literature, history, geography, and
economy of so many countries, including, for example, Germany, Brazil, Japan,
and the United States," shared Moukhalis. What is common is the challenge "It
was very challenging but I enjoyed it so
much."
There was no formal commencement
ceremony, however, he did have "the
privilege of receiving an invitation to the
King's palace," but like many students
who won't attend their commencement,
he never made it.
The class of 2006 is said to have a
good job market available to them. Many
students will have to end their college
careers (or put them on hold) to enter the
job market. Numerous others will continue on to graduate school. Advice from
others may be helpful, but follow your
own instinct. Contrary to the current job
market for graduates, when Moukhalis
was graduating, "the job market was really
tight and there were few opportunities for
graduates," so, "against the advice of all
to get a job," he opted for graduate school
to further pursue his dreams of being a
college professor. Some students will not
get accepted to their first choice graduate school, but Moukhalis did, eventually
earning a masters degree, " from Keele
University in England." He later went on
to earn a Ph.D. from Sate University of
New York at Stony Brook; "I'm glad I followed my own instinct then."
Along with hard work, Moukhalis attributes his success to his father, "My dad
actually is my role model. Even though he
never had any formal education; he had to
struggle all his life to spare us that hardship. I always heeded his advice about the
importance of getting an education."
To the graduating class of 2006, fear
not, because from Moukhalis's perspective, "I would like to remind students that
graduation is not the end; it is the beginning of hopefully a life f ull of more challenges, hard work, and most importantly
more achievements."

�Immigration: The Debate Continues
BY KARIN REYES
Pride Staff Writer
With all the talking and debating going on across the country
over immigration, some history on this issue is necessary
since many of us are too young
to remember any of this legislation being passed. Not all legislation is covered in this timeline
on U.S. immigration policy:
1882—The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 banned Chinese
laborers from entering for 10
years.
1891—The Immigration Act of
1891 was the first comprehensive
law for national control of immigration. Established the Bureau
of Immigration within the Treasury Department, it restricted
immigration by certain classes
of persons, and directed the
deportation of anyone entering
the U.S. illegally.
1924—The Immigration Act
of 1924 was the first permanent
limitation on immigration which
established the "national origins
quota system" which set annual
immigration quotas at 2 percent of the number of persons
of a given nationality to reside
in the U.S. This act, along with
the Immigration Act of 1917,
governed American immigration policy until 1952. It established a preference quota for
those unmarried children under
21;parents; spouse of U.S. citizens; and those immigrants aged
21 and older who were skilled
in agriculture, along with their
wives and dependent children.
1940—The Alien Registration
Act required registration of all
aliens.
1942—Executive
Order
9066—Evacuation and Internment of Japanese and JapaneseAmerican citizens from the West
Coast.
1942—The United States and
Mexico signed the Mexican Farm
Labor Program Agreement,
which set up the Bracero system
that legally brought 4.6 million
Mexican migrant workers to the
U.S. over the next 24 years.
1952—The Immigration and
Nationality Act of 1952 became
the comprehensive law governing immigration and nationalization. It gave preference to skilled
workers, those who had relatives
that were U.S. citizens and legal
aliens.
1965—-The Amendment to the
Act of 1952 abolished the national
origins quota system, visas were
given on first come, first served
basis, and gave preference to relatives of U.S. citizens and permanent resident aliens and those
with special skills.
1986—The
Immigration
Reform and Control Act autho-
rized temporary and then permanent resident status for aliens
residing in the U.S. illegally since
1982 and created sanctions for
employers who knowingly hire
aliens not authorized to work in
the U.S.
1990—The Immigration Act
of 1990 increased the total immigration amount. Refugees were
excluded from limitations.
1996—The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant
Responsibility Act of 1996
increased criminal penalties for
immigration-related offenses.
The majority of the legislation
during the 1900's was intended
to restrict the immigration of
those from European countries.
For example, based on nationality, the quota system would allow
more Germans to immigrate in
comparison to Italians.
Fast forward to 2006. HR4437
is a proposed as Border Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act of
2005. Immigrants' rights groups
are calling for a nationwide boycott of school, work and to not
spend money in opposition to
this bill. Several students here at
Cal State San Marcos were asked
to share their thoughts on the
boycott and the bill and immigration all together. The answers
immerged as varied here as they
areacross the country.
For some students the issue is
that all Hispanics/Latinos need
to ban together and support the
immigrants.
Some students believe the
boycott is a complete waste of
time, while others fear a backlash against all Hispanics. There
are some students that believe
that these boycotts and protests
merely make the Hispanic and
Mexican communities look like
victims. "If an illegal wants citizenship, they should have to go
about it just like everyone else in
this world . .. stop making Mexicans look like they are victims;
the problem is with illegals,
not Mexicans," voiced student
Daniel Perez.
Student Maribel Baltadano
supports the boycott "It is the
way many civil rights movements began their fight against
racial discrimination."
Amy Chacon points out that
those protesting are not just Hispanic or Mexican. "People are
uniting all over the U.S to protest
. .. Not just Mexicanos but people
of all descent are supporting this
cause."
Others believe it is not about
race, but about breaking the law
and not following the proper
procedures. Student Jose Cruz
believes the issue is legitimate
but that "it's the wrong way to
send a message. If you want to
send a message, do exactly that,
send a message, talk, protest, be
vocal, write to newspapers, etc.
People will listen. People will
not listen if you throw a tantrum
and stay at home by skipping
school."
Some students also believe
that identifying this as primarily
"Hispanic or Chicano" related
may alienate other immigrants
and possible supporters of this
cause. "I think, we ALL want to
achieve the same goals with the
Boycott, but we have to somehow agree on how to relate the
message to all people in a way
that includes and invites support
and does not exclude or invites
identities," said Juana Molina.
Conversely, Student Anthony
Hutchinson was quoted asking
"Why stop with one day??? Why
not make this a 'permanent' boycott, vatos? Really make it worth
while, and just don't ever come
back."
No matter the perspective,
students are encouraged to educate themselves so that they may
speak intelligently on the topic,
and to take the necessary and
proactive steps to make their
position known.

Patrick is the fourth editorI wasn't always happy with

at "The Pride" and he has done quite an annoying month for
the best job by far. I like to think me by printing accusations of
that he learned something from sexism and homophobia from a

completely outrageous. He realhim.
Patrick regained some integrity ized he made a mistake by not

That was the only issue that I had
with him and I tease him about
it whenever I get the chance. He
always backed my words, which
is exactly what an editor should
do.
During Patrick's term it
seemed as though everything he
accomplished came with a struggle. A struggle to find someone
to write a story, a struggle with
personalities that didn't want to
learn proper AP style and even a
struggle to find a new editor-inchief for next school year. Somehow he always found a way to get
things done.
Before I discuss the future, I
have a couple more good-byes to
some more graduates. Antoinette

College Life: What the U.S.
Marines did not prepare me for
BY KARIN REYES
Pride Staff Writer
thought k ^
in the park,
I was so very wrong.
At the time I started my college career
I had already been on active duty for 6
and a half years in the Marine Corps. So
I figured four years of college should be a
breeze. However I forgot one thing; how
to handle adjusting from the structured
and disciplined life of the military to a
very unstructured, undisciplined civilian
life.
Military life is not as bad as it sounds.
Aside from bootcamp (which the Marines
have the hardest—we are proud to brag
about that) life in the Corps, for some,
tends to settle into a routine that gets
comfortable after awhile. I was in that
comfortable routine when I applied for
and got accepted to the Marine Enlisted
Commissioning Education Program—
MECEP. This program allowed me to stay
on active duty, receive full pay and benefits and attend CSUSM as a full time student. Sounds too good to be true I know,
but that's where the greatness ends.
When I started classes here back in
2002 I was dealt a tremendous culture
shock. I joined the Marine Corps when
I was barely nineteen years old, so I did
my growing up in the military unlike my
fellow classmates. This is where I had
the most difficulty adjusting—interacting with other students who the majority
were younger than myself and tended to
be immature in my eyes. My biggest and
most difficult lesson to learn here was to
relax.
Easier said than done. Anytime a student whined or complained to the professor about anything, whether the syllabus
or an assignment, I would sit in my chair
and fume. Anytime a professor lost control of a class or seemed to have no clear
direction, or if students would have conversation and not pay attention, I would
sit there and force myself not to jump up
and start barking orders to everyone.
Now not every student or professor was
like this. In fact, I am positive that it was
only a select few that have stood out in
my memory. Of course take into consideration that I have a Type A personality
combined with being a control freak and
anal retentive, I'm sure those factored into
how I viewed events at the time, making
them totally exaggerated.
The Marines never taught me how to
deal with this. Sure we learned about
being respectful and tactful when dealing with each other—but it's easier when
everyone has the same expectations of
how things are supposed to be. I didn't
have to worry about hurting people's feelings because I would tell them to be quiet
during a class or meeting, but in college
that is just not happening.
Add to that having to drive to San Diego
at least two times a week for "military
training", along with being a parent and
a spouse and college has definitely taught
me a thing or two about multi-tasking.
Try getting up at 3:30 in the morning to
be in San Diego by 5:30 a.m. for military
classes and training, then driving the 45
minutes or so back to Oceanside to pick
up kids from school, then make dinner
for the family, help with homework, try
and squeeze in my homework, then drive
another 45 minutes to get to San Marcos
(yeah, 45 mins. From Oceanside, traffic nightmare) to sit in class from 5 p.m.
until 8:30, then try and be home by 9 p.m.
to see husband for 15 minutes, then end
up falling asleep on the couch. I don't
care how much training you have, that
schedule never gets easy. I can't wait to
get back to regular old military life!
All complaining and venting aside, I
wouldn't change my experience because
without it I wouldn't have met some
truly interesting and special people. I've
learned to relax—a little bit, and I've
learned that all of us can learn something from others even if we don't see it
at first.
Congratulations to those who are graduating in a few weeks, I'll see you at graduation. And for those that are not: ha ha
ha ha, you still have to go to school!
she seemed to be in the office no
matter what time I walked in. I
thank both of them for being
great contributors to this paper.
Last week I met the new editorin-chief, David Gatley. I look
forward to working with him
because he seems like a good
guy and he already has many
new things that he wants to do
with the paper. It also seems like
he is set for the challenges that
he will face. He is actually going
to have to find writers, rather
than having a class provide them
for him. Because of that, I am
assuming that the paper will be
small to start off, but will grow
in time.
As for the sports section, I
really see it changing. The new
Soccer, Softball and Baseball programs will make it so that actual
stories are written about campus
athletics. Nothing against golf,
cross country and track and field
because I do know many of the
athletes on the teams and they
are great people, but those aren't
spectator sports and there hasn't
been much to write about.
Along with the sports section, I hope to have the student
radio station up and running.
Dr. Anthony Hurst and I will be
doing some work this summer to
make that happen. I want to send
a special thanks to Laura Wilson,
Chris Hecklinger, Michelle Jules
and Matt Mull for working with
me on the project in Dr. Katherine Brown's COMM 355 class.
We created the CSUSM Radio
Club, which will be available for
students to join in the Fall. We
are going to start with pod-casting, and hopefully in the not too
distant future we will be doing
web-casting.
Next year should be my last
one on campus and I can't wait to
continue this column in the fall
for what will be my fifth semester involved with the paper.

Corrections and Clarifications: Volume XV No. 13. Article "Biased

students in the audience where members of the newspaper class. One
or more were guests of the newspaper students. Plus, the community

�The Cup of lust for each and every one of you.
Spring is here. Our common
colds and minimal rains are neither withstanding, nor less arbitrary, than the calendar marking the seasonal transition. In
this desert, this artificial oasis,
so many of us live without an
appreciation for the true cold of
winter, thus without an appreciation for Spring's return. What
all of us do have is the oldest and
most enduring icon of the selfsame cure and virus for Spring
Fever.
We, as college students, are
surrounded by fresh and freshlyarrived beautiful women.
So, women of CSUSM, let me
speak to you:
Envy, like stratification, is
natural. Luckily, so is Beauty,
and like Nature it requires only
health: nutritious food, physical exertion and a joyful Will to
be alive. Worthy partners do not
require physical perfection any
more than those who 'have it'
know it, or keep it. Worthy partners will remember the parts of
you they most favor, not the parts
you cannot change. Worthy partners do not seek conquest over
contact, that is for ill-adolescents, and they are only their parents' concern. Be alive and open
to these worthy partners, for they
are willing and eager to remind
you how beautiful you are.
I am eager to remind you how
beautiful you are.
And I don't need a class on
'romantic' poetry, or a history of
our malignant patriarchy, to do it
. .. though the blessing of my own
partner probably wouldn't hurt.
Back to the theme, then.
There are many empty but
intoxicating fortunes to be made
in making you obsessed with
your allure and ashamed of your
desires. There are many crippled
spirits driven mad with the fear
of you, determined to enslave
your (and thus all) Lust through
confusion, through dividing
debate over an archaic procedure
that, oh so curiously, has not yet
been made obsolete.
The fortune-seekers need
you more than you need them;
beauty can be supplemented, but
never sold, thus all merchants
serve Beauty, and you owe nothing to servants who forget their
place. The crippled spirits need
many things, but deserve nothing so much as the sight of you
coming to love the sight of you
as you have made yourself.
For you ARE beautiful, and
may you by your Will stay beautiful, as you would remain beautiful, even were you to die before
knowing love. No beauty is so
rare as the beauty fully realized,
but no beauties are lost but those
that are wasted, and none that
recognize themselves are ever
wasted.
Do not give Lust, holy Desire,
the blood of your beauty, to that
alluring confidence and affluence
that you already possess. Do not
hoard swords, less they make
your cup an ever-empty sieve. Do
not lord yourself above those that
would raise you from irresistible
to invaluable.
They will love you, if you give
them the chance, because you are
beautiful, and you are beautiful
because you Are.
You are your experiences, your
inspired explorations and your
delicious tastes.
You are, each and every one
of you, beautiful, not by imitating representations, but by
existing as whole, and real, and
sovereign in yourself. You have,
and must cultivate, a Name and
a Consciousness that makes
you 'an object' only so much
as a living, bleeding deity is an
object.
Were all of civilization to rot down from its art, to
its religion, to its magic, to the
end of names and back into linguistic zero, there would still be
enough left enough for them to
lose themselves and gain eternity in the unassuming sway of
your hips, the pronouncing contortions of your mouth, the softness of your warming touch.
Your symmetries and tones are
your own, and they are beautiful because the world is beautiful
and the world is beautiful because
it varies. Do not chase bleached
hair and silicone breasts as an
ideal any more than you'd chase
a single dress or set of jewelry as
the one and only ornament you'd
need for the rest of your life. The
worthy partner will reach out
their hands to touch YOU, not
your 'things'.
Lust, as any essential element to
life, can be poorly managed, but
your beauty makes it too invaluable to be forever suppressed by
winters, storms, ill-children or
crippled spirits.
Go now, and be adored. Make
the eye contact then make it
again; the smile, the first hello
and casual question. The smallest, yet clearest invitation will
turn shy awe into confident dedication. Their unbridled Lust will
bind them to you for however so
long as you would give them here,
as you would have them there.
You are beautiful, make
the same of the Spring and its
Fevers.
- Zachary Simon
CSUSM student's thoughts about 'breaking the silence'
Today April 26th at noon, six members
of the LGBTQ including myself stood and
broke the silence. Silence we had been
keeping in recognition for the voices that
are hushed each day because they were not
of the heterosexual orientation.
Voices silenced from fear. Fear of retri-
bution . . . fear for something outside of
our control. .
Being a 21 year old gay male I have
grown up to except and love myself. I
learned to love myself when our society
told me I was wrong. I learned to love god
when my church members condemned

a mistake and that no one should grow
thinking otherwise. People other than the

others wore white, and others simply did
not speak. Fleers were passed out up until
noon. TheseTflyers said, "Please understand my reasons for not speaking today.

have been silenced by hatred, oppression,
and prejudice. Think about the voices you
are not hearing. What can you do to end
the silence?"
For us to live in a society that does not
allow people of the same sex to marry and
share love what morality are we spreading? That certain types of love weigh more
then others?
What does it say about our society that a
person that is not heterosexual cannot live
and die for this country? Is this a country
that is so obvious that there is no separation between church and state? For people
who do not follow the mold of heterosexuality why should they have to look around
before they know it is safe to hold each
other's hand? Why should any people be
segregated into certain parts of the city
for a somewhat sense of security. So we
protested. In protest we silenced ourselves
along with "An estimated 500,000 students
at 4,000 schools nationwide" according to
dayofsilence.org, but with one difference,
at twelve we broke our silence. We broke
the silence that our society is to use too.
Names like Mathew Shepard and Brandon
Teena maybe somewhat familiar of victims
of hate crimes but there are many others
that have gone without the representation
of the media. Others that had to be recognized like Danny Overstreet, Billy Jack
Gaither, Tyra Hunter for starters. These
people were just that people and did not
deserve the deaths they received. Today
we broke the silence and for me personally I am tired of being quite I want to be
heard and not ignored. I am gay I am real,
see me, recognize me, and know that I am
more then just my sexuality.
As we prepared are mouths were taped
and as we removed the bondage of this
society we began to speak. We began to
speak of events that outside of Mathew
Sheppard many people are unaware of.
According to gsanetwork.org "The project consists of a vow of silence for the
entire school day, or however long your
school wishes to have it, where participants pass out cards that state their reasons
for not speaking (see below). At the end of
the silence, participants can host a series
of follow up events to educate their communities on how to keep the silence from
continuing."

�letters to the Editor:
I read Phil Hoffman's
"Response to the Letter to the
Editor" in last week's Pride. Phil
had commented that forcing gay
and transgender issues is actually "impeding on our rights."
Phil, this is a false statement. He
also argued that gay and transgender events are "completely
anti-America[n]." Phil, this is
also a false statement. I don't
view ASI nor LBGTA's events
(such as the fashion show,
gay wedding, etc.) as impeding on our rights. You may not
agree with their views, Phil,
but asking them to stop such
events is impeding on students'
rights, and that would be truly
anti-American. As a student I
will also do my duty by asking
ASI, LBGTA and other student
organizations to continue such
events. We need one another to
open our minds. Isn't that what
our university should ultimately
promote?

In last week's edition of the
Pride, Karen Perez asked the
question, "Did you know that
this bill (House Resolution 4437)
makes illegal people criminals?"
I would like to respond to her
question by saying, Karen, aren't
immigration laws, laws that if
violated make a person criminal?
These protests planned for May
1st are not about immigrant's
rights as Ms. Perez's letter suggests, it is about fighting for 11
million criminals to be granted
amnesty from punishment for
breaking the law, as well as for
promoting the idea of continuing to turn a blind eye to the
crimes that occur everyday when
someone enters this country illegally. However in the end, I feel
that the United States as a whole
should walk hand in hand with
those that are wishing to immigrate into the United States and
say, "Si Se Puede legalmante."
I do not speak for all of those
in the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,
Transgender community. I am
one gay person with my own
story. Other gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individualsLimvjsuiic^^
there are similarities among the
stories, they are different.
I have been criticized for being
discriminatory toward Christians and Catholics by a fellow
student in the campus paper. I
have not denounced Catholicism,
I am still Catholic. Nowhere
in my fetter to the editor did I
single out ALL Christians or
Catholics. I do not discriminate
against Christians or have any
ill will towards them. I simply
described my own personal
experiences as they happened to
me. •
Some might ask, ' Then why
focus so much of your conversation on Christians?"
As I described in my first
letter, my experience within the
Christian community is where I
was met with the most discrimination. I do not hate Christians
for this, nor do I believe all
Christians act the same way.
Rather, my response is to educate people that Christianity
does not mean anti-gay. Christianmeans,"Christ-like" Christ
would not spew hate or discrimi-
Phil:
I read your letter in response
to Cheyenne, regarding the
importance of a gay wedding
on campus. Yes, same-sex marriage is illegal in this country.
Do you know what else used to
be illegal, up until 1961? Interracial marriage! Check this out:
In the case ofLoving vs. Virginia
(1961), a black man and his white
wife were prosecuted for their
marriage, the judge defending
the verdict by saying, "Almighty
God created the races of White,
Black, Yellow; Malay, and Red,
and He placed them on separate continents „.And but for the
interference with His arrange-
ment there would be no cause for
such marriages. Thefact that He
separated the races shows that
he did not intendfor the races to
mix" Tell me Phil, do you agree
with this statement? If interracial marriage were illegal today,
would you oppose an "interracial wedding event"? The law is
not always right, so sometimes
you must stand up for what you
believe is r ight This is what the
LGBTA is doing. You don't have
to agree with them.
I also disagree with your statement saying that ASI and the
LBGTA are "forcing these issues
down our throats." I don't feel
forced at all. Hey, ifyou don't want
to attend a fashion show or a gay
wedding, DON'T! The LGBTA
hasn't hurt anybody, or violated
anybody's rights, as you say.
How dare you try to impede on
the right of these people to defend
themselves as human beings who
deserve human rights?
As for Anti-America, how do
you define "American"? A white
mommy and daddy, with 2.5
kids, living in the suburbs driving a Ford Explorer? Please. If
you have some important issues
to promote, I encourage you to
do so, but please don't get in
anybody else's way.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Ho
An Unruly Faction
The campus is abuzz with talk
of the 1 May boycott, and the
desired affect upon and against
the US economy. I am not only
disconcerted by the open discussion of the premeditated sabotage, I am thoroughly convinced
that such behavior does not constitute the cut or character of one
worthy to reside within the borders of this fine nation. Those
who would undermine our systems of governmental and economic policy have no place
or business amongst our elite
countrymen. Such people do
not deserve to partake with me,
a citizen of this country. Such
treacherous individuals should
not be afforded the liberties for
which so many men have died
to protect. Let those that boycott receive the full recompense
for their malefaction and disrespectful sedition perpetrating
upon the country to which they
would, not for the betterment
of their state, but for opportunities which they would exploit. It
would be better, were they to not
only abide for the duration of the
day in their homes, but that selfrepatriate (those that are illegal),
saving the national treasury
the cost. I am whole-heartedly
behind any repercussive actions
taken against those who participate, including their loss of
employment, failing of classes,
or any disciplinary action that
against them may be taken.

I wanted to write and convey
one student's perspective on the
illegal immigration issue as to
hopefully prompt further political discourse.
During the past couple of
weeks it has been remarkable
to see my peers rallying around
a political cause. The right to
peaceably assemble is one of
those rights guaranteed under
the United States Constitution (to
American citizens) that is rarely
exercised by college students, so
to hear about the event planned
for May 1st regarding a political cause is extremely encouraging. However I am torn because
while it is nice to see my peers
standing up for a political cause,
it is disheartening that it has to
be regarding the issue of illegal
immigration, because I am completely dumfounded as to how
anyone could make an intelligent
argument as to how violating the
laws of this country is a noble
cause that should be rewarded. I
understand a lot of you are sitting
there saying, well Bryan, because
illegal immigrants do the jobs
no one else will do, and to that
I disagree because illegal immigrants that accept below minimum wage positions (that may be
undesirable) are not taking a job
that someone else would not do,
they are merely undercutting the
federal and state minimum wage
laws and accepting positions for
less pay than is mandated by law
to American citizens.

�Is Roy lee the voice of the students at Cal State San Marcos?
Incoming ASI president, Roy
Lee, delivered his first "formal"
speech at the Crash Awards
Night, commemorating and recognizing student leadership and
involvement on campus, at the
honorary ceremony on Wednesday, April 26.
It is understood that when introducing a new Board of Directors for ASI, certain liberties are
taken by the student population
to scrutinize elected officials.
One such liberty involves judging the competency of its representatives and, if need be, expose
inadequacies.
Having said that, it is my desire
that you be sufficiently informed
as to how our new "president" is
representing the student voice of
Cal State San Marcos.
It is my opinion that, after
reading the following speech, I
doubt students will take much,
if any, comfort in knowing that
Roy Lee will be our representative. As president, Lee will be
expected to deliver countless
speeches to high-end executives,
politicians, and community leaders. If Wednesday night's speech
is any indicator as to his pptential as ASI President, I fear that
the student body, not to mention
Cal State San Marcos as a whole,
will be viewed as a mockery to
academia.
The following is Roy Lee's
speech in its entirety - verbatim.
It has not been taken out of con-
text in any way, nor has it been
edited for grammatical errors.
Let yourself be the judge:
"First o f f , I would like to thank
all of you who votedfor me, and
for those that have not, um, no
just joking. Now moving, so, I
came here guys to Cal State San
Marcos, you know, like all of you
guys to get my higher education. But I came here really with
a different mindset. Um, you see
when I graduated high school I
told myself 'all right buddy just
chill. You know, you don't know,
just don't get involved, k. Don't
get involved, don't don't get
yourself too crazy out there, you
know. Forget clubs, forget sports,
forget studying.' I mean, honestly, though, but. I told myself,
you know, 4just take it easy, don't
get involved, you don't know how
hard college will be compared to
high school.' I'm sure some of you
can relate that, right, ok. So, four
years pass by, five, whatever, and
now I'm your guys ASI President.
Good job... that's awesome, but
I don't regret it you guys, don't
regret it at all. Um, being in ASI
has taught me so many things
that a classroom could never
teach me. Um, which is really
good because seeing that I don't

I want to commend you all for
making my experience at Cal
State Marcos a memorable one.
And I hope, that ASI will make it
just as memorable for you guys
as, you guys have done it for us.
Thanks."
While I have no personal vendetta towards Lee, I perceive his
speech as a prime example of
student apathy. Although uncontested in the elections, 388 students, out of 578, voted for Lee
to represent them as the voice of
Cal State San Marcos. Had more
students engaged in running for
the presidency, I believe a more
competent-sounding candidate
would be serving our campus.
ASI would be wise to splurge a
little of their $1.4 million dollar
budget on protecting the integrity
and image of the student voice.
I urge students to demand
higher standards of such representatives and, perhaps, advise
Lee to consider hiring a speech
consultant.

What is female beauty?
BY ANDREW RUISENOR &
ANTOINETTE JOHNSON
Pride Staff Writers
What is female beauty? By
society's standards, beauty might
be considered as a white skinned,
blonde-haired, blue eyed, smallwaisted (and by small this means
a size 2) and somewhat petty
bombshell. In reality, the woman
we just described is a waif. She's
frail, she's dependent, her body
is unrealistic and unhealthy. In
terms of her personality, she's as
exciting as a dial-tone.
With this standard set, where
do the rest of us fall? Are we
not to be considered beautiful?
What about mahogany-skinned,
dark-haired, brown-eyed, amplefigured, intellectual bombshells
from the rural south, the inner
city, the upper echelons, and the
underclass? These women do
exist, and many of them are reading this now. All women everywhere should realize how truly
beautiful they are.
The flesh of a person is sacred
and individualized through past
generations.
According to the Dove Self
Esteem Study "92 % of young
women (ages 15-17) experience
negative body image and want
to change." This obsession with
the flesh comes with a heavy toll.
The difference between healthy
and idealized is large. According
to inch-aweigh.com the average
American woman is 5'4" and 140
lbs. In tills same study the average
American model is five 5'11 and
117 lbs. There is a large discrepancy between the average, and
what the industry calls for. For
all the women who do not fit into
this category such as comedian
Mo'Nique Imes, embracing your
flesh is imperative. As Oil of Olay
advertises "Love the skin you're
in," it is beautiful.
Intellectualism is also an asset
that society tends to do away
with in its regard for females.
The thoughts of women should
no longer be threatening, but
accepted as beautiful. Women
like Maya Angelou represent a
beauty that transcends the flesh
and its fleeting youth. Through
her writing she breathes life into
the minds and spirits of women
around the world. The artist
Alecia Moore, otherwise known
as Pink, also presents positive messages through her lyrical works that are sending messages to women. These messages
reinforce the idea that you do
not have be another body, but a
mind as well, capable of making
decisions for yourself. Through
the mind is also you, the reader,
who might identify as a woman
who has made the step forward in
your education process challenging your system of beliefs and
getting the grade on your own
accord. Your mind is beautiful.
Identity is beautiful. Many
women, who fall outside of the
narrow formula for beauty, are
overcome with images of women
who appear tcrbc like themselves
living and reinforcing counterproductive models for what racial
group x's women should be like. ative. This in turn creates a battle
An unfortunate side effect of this between a woman's self and her
is that women begin to translate identity as it is assigned to her by

A fter the wide-eyed revelers made their way home (most
under the general consensus that

their new album in my hand, I
could tell you with absolute certainty that The Dresden Dolls
will blow your mind, kick your
ass, and break your heart with
hardly more than an electric
piano and a drum kit between
them.
The new album builds on
everything that was great about
the first, with that musical and
vocal passion carried by genuine lyrical wit through every
chide and confession. Moving
seamlessly from the unpredictable avant-garde to classic nursery rhyme and power-ballad
standards, they stir every aloof
and abandoned preconception.
On the song, "Mrs. O," whose
lyrics give us the new album's
title "Yes, Virginia," we get a
journey through the nature and
implications of truth aMHbelief
... or another clever bit of word
play. It's my personal favorite thus far, and the Dresden
Dolls have renewed my faith
in this new century's capacity.
Naturally, this sets both fellow
listeners and the band itself up
for disappointment, which is all
the more reason to give them a
chance, or even a second one (it
took a third for me) to show the
world how worthwhile a genuinely unusual thing can be, and
how much we both deserve a
f uture that doesn't leave us running in place, or improving a
memory.

2. Add heaping spoonfuls of music.
The decade was also a time for many contributions, turning points,
and unfortunate losses in the area of music. Icons such as Pearl
Jam, Metallica, Stone Temple Pilots, Green Day, and Nirvana
offered up something new for rock consumers to bang their heads
to. Meanwhile, rap superstar acts like Tupac Shakur, Naughty By
Nature, Salt N ' Pepa, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Warren G were
theflamesof rap's persistent wildfire. Music moved in waves over
the course of the decade. It started with a grunge feel of Sound
Garden and somewhere along the way stopped off at an alternative
sound reflected through bands like Garbage and Hole. Music
3. Overdose on popular television shows
Television of the 1990s catered to audiences of all
ages in new ways than previously done. Aside from
the primetime television mixture of Seinfeld, The XFiles, Xena, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Friends,
and Ally McBeal, the airwaves also housed
programming of the more cynical nature
to satisfy the tastes of a more adult
crowd—in cartoon forms. Shows
such as the Simpsons, The Critic,
and South Park embraced the
political contexts and satirical j
nature that adult audiences
everywhere were starving w
for. As a fortunate byproduct to cartoons laced
with adult humor was
the ever-popular trend of
Anime. It was during the

audiences. While adults were

Power Rangers.
4. Shake well and garnish with memorable events
and trends
Encompassed within the decade of the 90s are a host of milestones
that continue to influence the culture of today. Headlines explained
of Bradley NowelPs heroin overdose, Left-Eye's arsenal, the death
of Princess Diana, the Oklahoma City Bombing, and the tragic
shootings at Columbine High School. Teenagers sported artistry on
the smalls of their backs, chests, and biceps as well as an array of
body piercings hung from various orifices and lobes as symbols of
rebellion. Michael Jackson rose in popularity only to fall victim to
charges on his integrity. Meanwhile, his sister Janet came out of the
era looking younger somehow. The decade was a constant reminder
that yes, the 80s were over and the end of the world was near.

BY BEN ROFFEE
Managing Editor
As national and state economies continue to limp, the
C alifornia State University
system will once again feel
the symptoms of an economic crisis and a straining state budget. Chancellor Reed recently approved
a giveback of $31.3 million
from California's budget
in response, to Governor
Schwarzenegger's request f or.
budget cuts across the board.
f \ Chancellor Reed's giveback
will come from the CSU's
already $250 million budget
shortfall, and will contribute
to Governor Schwarzeneg^ger's $390 million request
f rom government agencies.
The C alifornia Faculty Association was quick to criticize
Chancellor Reed's decision,
noting that the $31.3 million
giveback was not mandated.
In a release issued on Oct.
27, the CFA contended that
Chancellor Reed "misled the
campus community by incorrectly reporting the CSU
among agencies that need to
cut a total of $390 million
f rom the current budget."
The charge r efers to a memo
issued on Oct. 23 in which
Chancellor Reed revealed the
cut as a necessary response
to Governor Schwarzenegger's call for a statewide
budget cut of $390 million.
The memo issued to all CSU
employees states, "we have
been i nformed by t he State
D epartment of Finance that
state agencies and departments need to cut a total of
an additional $390 million."

Nov. 4, 2008 ~ The Cai
State San Marcos community assembled together in the
Clarke Field House Tuesday
night to witness history in the
making as the nation elected
Barack Obama, the first black
president. Shortly following
the closing of precincts in California, Obama clinched the
presidency, widely surpassing
the electoral vote of 270 needed
to win.
All day, students across
campus proudly sported their "I
Voted" stickers, and checked exit
pollfigureson their cell phones.
Upon hearing the news, Psychology major Gemma Fields
said, "I've been waiting fifteen

Wait on 'screw-ray'
They are still high quality and
much more affordable. The appeal
of Blu-Ray is the lust for fancy
new electronics.
There is no need to buy a BluRay player. They may be nicer, but
not worth the jacked up price. BluRay discs may be shiny and new,
but DVDs are still high quality and
more affordable.
the standard DVD. Images
are superior in high-definition and the sound is less
condensed, hence clearer.
Moreover, the discs can hold
more data, resulting in more
'special features'. As well,
Blu-Ray boasts that it immediately plays the film and
the menu can be accessed at
anytime during the movie at
the bottom of the screen.
On the surface, this seems
nice. I appreciate high quality
images and features that make
for a better viewing experience. It
would make sense to switch over
to the new form, if it were not so
expensive. The manufactures of
Blu-Ray players have slapped an
inflated price on the machines. For
what the buyer is getting, this is a
rip off.
Besides the cost of the player,
one must also buy a HD television.
In consumerist America, this is
very desirable. Though one might
be able to afford it, this is an inappropriate use of money considering the financial crisis. As well,
Blu-Ray discs are $5 to $10 more
expensive. The special features are
not worth that much money.
Advertisements try to convince
that standard DVD is a pain compared to Blu-Ray. DVDs are fine.
attentive, but the overbearing service is an illusion of service. The
formulaic greeting, serving, and
thanking are fake and customers
must know this.
Employees have the proverbial
gun to the back of their head to
be unnaturally pleasant. This
becomes especially difficult
when the job itself is responsible
for the unhappiness that employees must bury their sentiments
to keep from losing their job.
Workers must hide their feelings
because the customer believes he
or she deserve special treatment.
Employees can and should be
helpful, but they do not need to
put on a show for the customer.
The excessive conversation only
slows done the transaction or
interaction. Customers should
appreciate getting what they
need, not the imposed kindness.
Yet the system is so deeply
sunk into America, it is near
impossible to be undone. The
customer expects royal treatment while shopping because the
stores perpetuate this process.
Since customers naturally think
this service is a good thing, it
becomes part of a store strategy
to make more money. If a store
did not impose customer service,
people would think poorly of the
store. «
It is unfair for stores to expect
workers to be overly friendly to
the customer. The real measurement of a store should be the
quality and availability of products, and not ho\vtoucha worfer
'brownnoses' the shopper. For
now employees just have to keep
smiling. Shoppers must remember their place in the world and
give some respect to the worker.
It's true! Left-handed people
are a minority living in a majority right-handed world. We deal
with our aggression by dreaming
of our Holy Grail, stores that only
sell left-handed products. Notice
how the right hand is RIGHT and
the left hand is not the riglit hand.
"They" might have as well called
the left hand the wrong hand. The
story goes back.
I was in elementary school,
kindergarten to be exact. One
day after eating some minty paste
and chasing the girls around in
the sawdust, I was asked to grab
a foreign object that I would later
learn was a pencil. I was told to
scribble on a piece of paper in
whatever hand I felt most comfortable with. My right hand must
have been a negative and the
pencil a positive, because my left
hand calmly and firmly grabbed
the object.
The following day I was asked
to repeat the above-mentioned
task. Withmintybreathlrepeated.
After a few days my writing was
going nowhere. It looked like I
was trying to create a Jackson
Pollock artwork. My teacher^
Mrs. Kristiansen, if I recall correctly, told me that I should try
writing with the RIGHT hand.
I thought, right hand, it must be
right if they are calling it the right
hand. I regretfully admit I gave it
a chance. My body rejected. I felt
like I was abducted by aliens—
creepy and weird. I went home,
paste in hand, and cried to my
mommy. "Mommy, I want to use
the left hand, I don't care if it's the
RIGHT hand, I'm left handed."
16 years later I'm left handed
and proud. Of course I'm even
more confused as I throw, bat,
and punch with my right hand.
I leave the light duties such as
eating and writing to my left
hand. I wear my watch on the
right hand and keep my wallet on
my right pocket. I know. I do not
get it either.
So next time you see a lefthander ripping the sheets out of
their three ring binder because
we cannot write between the
rings and the starting section of
the paper, give us a break. We're
just left-handed people living in
your right-handed world.

In the Opinion Article titled,
"Starbucks Charges for Tap

Pride allowed for the printing of an
opinion piece that argued the water
at the on-campus Starbucks was
unreasonable. However, the author
failed to incorporate correct information into the piece, thus incorrectly referring to it as "tap water."

The transition
from VHS to DVD
was the most exciting change in home
e ntertainment
since the invention
of the television.
The playback features alone made DVDs the best
choice. Along with being physically smaller, having better video
quality, and including 'special
features,' the DVD was definitely
worth switching over to.
Yet they are supposedly inferior
to the shiny new high-definition
Blu-Ray discs. Although Blu-Ray
is better quality, it is not worth the
change thus far. Blu-Ray is fancy
and boasts new features, but not
worth the costs.

In America, stores will do anything to keep shoppers coming

customer service is a joke for

�Letter to the Editor
A Message from Lt. Douglass Miller, campus police
Fellow Cougars,
I hope that you all have seen an improvement in the morning traffic coming onto
campus. We at the University Police would
like to extend a huge "thank you" to everyone in Planning, Design & Construction and
in Parking & Commuter Services for the
open collaboration that made a great team
and the success of this project possible.
This team was able to recommend and
institute a number of improvements that
we believe helped reduce the time it takes
to get onto campus each morning. One of
these changes was to remove the stop sign
at the top of Palm Canyon Drive as it enters
Parking Lot F. This seems to have reduced
the back up onto Craven Road from Palm
Canyon.
We also worked very hard at improving the
timing and sequencing of the traffic control
lights. We also implemented a suggestion to
offer reduced rate parking in Lots XY&Z.
The increased number of people parking in
XYZ is notable and has made an impact.
One of the suggestions that we were not
able to implement was adding an additional
turn lane to the intersection of Craven Road
and Palm Canyon Drive. Everyone felt that
this idea had terrific merit. However, when
we tried to put concept to implementation we
found that this intersection is not a true 90
degree intersection.
The corner of the intersection is in fact less
than 90 degrees. If an additional lane were
put in, vehicles would not be able to make the
turn safelyfromeither direction unless the
Dear Editor:
An opinion piece recently published by
the Pride newspaper, (Made in America
By Convicts, 10/28/08) is an untrue characterization of the California Prison Industry
Authority (CALPIA), the contributions of
its inmate workers and the conditions under
which they work. More disturbing, the article appears to be a plagiarized version of a
rant written by an inmate nearly 15 years
ago. The claims by John Caterino, and many
of the lines in his article, appear to be lifted
nearly word-for-wordfromthat inmate's previously published claims. They were untrue
then, and certainly do not reflect the rehabilitative mission, or the efficient operation of
the CALPIA today.
CALPIA provides inmates with the work
and life skills they need so they can return
to constructive lives when they leave prison.

road was widened. We then explored widening the road slightly to make this change.
Unfortunately, the new traffic control signal is too close to the curb to allow
making any significant improvement. In
the end, adding this turn lane would have
required a significant capital outlay that in
the currentfiscalsituation was simply not an
alternative.
To further mitigate traffic congestion we
would encourage everyone to consider using
the Sprinter, even once or twice a week
would significantly help. Monthly passes
can be purchased at Parking Services in the
Foundation Class Room Building behind
Craven Hall. The campus is also installing
additional Bicycle racks for those energetic

ued understanding during these periods of
growth is greatly appreciated.
Although we have seen some improvement, please keep in mind that we will never
be able to "return to the old days" when you
could drive right onto campus without delay.
It seems we have jumped straight from adolescence to adulthood and all the accompanying problems associated with a larger
campus. You have my assurances that we
will continue to monitor the morning traffic,
accept suggestions, and mitigate problems as
they present themselves.

Prop 8 discussion turns into gay bashing seminar
The College Republicans sponsored

His fundamental premise, supported

Several other documents

Included in the CFA's accusations is a call for Chancellor Reed t o "rescind his

Despite the CFA's protest,
Chancellor Reed insists that

always believed that America
offers opportunities to all who
have the industry and will to
seize it. Senator Obama believes
that, too."
"I urge all Americans who supported me to join me in not just
congratulating him, but offering
our next president

to find ways to

compromises to
bridge our differences and help

In closing, McCain stressed the
importance of nationwide unity

as I have often in this campaign,
to not despair of our present difficulties, but to believe, always,

Shortly thereafter, forty-sevenyear-old Obama celebrated victory at Grant Park in Chicago with
his wife, Michelle, and daughters,
Malia and Sasha by his side.

of over 125,000 people, Obama
declared, "If there is anyone out

�CSUSM students can study all around the world
BY SANDRA CHALMERS
Pride Staff Writer
Going to school can feel
like vacation, if you're studying abroad.
The CSUSM study abroad
program offers students
the opportunity to study in
Spain, France, England, the
Netherlands, China and Costa
Rica just to name a few. The
opportunities to travel, study
and learn about a different
culture are just a glimpse of
the immense benefits that
studying abroad can do for a
student's academic career.
CSUSM offers a plethora
of programs, 35 programs
in nine different countries
to be exact. Also, CSUSM
exclusively offers 11 student
exchange programs, which
are better known as bilateral agreements, meaning
that when American students
seek to study at an exchange
school, that school's foreign
students can come to CSUSM
to study, according to Tiffany Gabbard, the new study
abroad advisor.
The most popular study
abroad locations are Western Europe, Spain, Italy and
France. The Italy and France
study abroad programs are
particularly for students who
are interested in studying the
language and culture. Hong
Kong, China is another popu-

lar location to study abroad,
especially for business
majors.
Japan and the Netherlands
are other study abroad locations that are growing in popularity.
Some of the most unique
locations students can study
abroad are Fiji, Ireland,
Sweden, Denmark, South
A frica, South America, Australia and Israel.
The CSUSM study abroad
program offers a unique program through World Link
Education that enables students to learn the native language while living in the
foreign country. Students
can learn Japanese in Japan,
German in Germany and the
list continues with five other
languages and countries.
Opportunities to study
abroad don't just stop at
CSUSM, students can also
search for study abroad programs at another CSU campus
that may offer different programs.

year.
"I took Modern Irish Literature and was able to study
W.B. Yeats poems in the very
locations he wrote them. It
was so amazing to see the
pages come to life by reading
about the swans and watch the
swans for myself," McBrayer
said about her study abroad
experience.
"While we were not in
school I had plenty of time
to explore the town and other
areas," McBrayer continued.
Studying abroad can be a
life changing experience and
can help future^ graduates
develop deeper understanding
of the world around them.
"Students come home with a
g reater
sense
of who
they
are, a
g reater
appreciation
of their
own
c ulture
nected the world is," said
Gabbard.
"I have studied abroad in
both Italy and England and
considered them the most
rewarding and enriching times
of my life. Students must go
explore this vast wonderful
world of ours, and I'm happy
to h elp them plan for their
journey of a lifetime," Gabbard said.
The CSUSM study abroad
programs offer students more
than 10 different types of
financial aid and scholarships
to help more students study
abroad. More information can
be found at www2.csusm.edu/
global, or at the study abroad
o ffice in Craven Hall 3200.
"If for some reason an
exchange or IP program is
not offered in the location a
student desires, he/she can
be an intra-campus visitor
to another CSU and do their
study abroad program with
their students. It opens up
a lot of doors for students to
explore the world," Gabbard
said.
CSUSM features an exclusive opportunity for students
to participate in internship
programs in Australia and
New Zealand. Internships are
available in art, f ilm, broadcasting, even business and
law, according to the Austra
Learn program.
Specific internship programs abroad are a great
addition to a resume, since
only about 1 percent of the
students in the United States
study abroad, according to the
former CSUSM study abroad
advisor, Jan Stockey.

at CSUSM, studied abroad

the dangers they face while crossing the desert. With almost all of
the boys being under the age of
12 when they left their villages,
the boys did not have anyone to
keep them safe from the wild
animals except themselves.
Alephonsion Deng, in his
talk to students at Cal State San
Marcos Oct. 9, recounted an
incident in which he was sleeping in one of the refugee camps
with a bunch of other little boys.
He said he felt something above
him and absent mindedly swatted at it. Moments later he woke
to screaming and saw that the
little boy who was sleeping next
to him had a gaping hole in the
side of his face where an animal
had bit him.
During their journey the boys
were often separated from each
other and they faced additional
hardships that most can scarcely
imagine. They walked thousands
of miles in the grueling heat and
the bitter cold. They were faced
with injuries, slavery, starvation,
thirst and all too often death. In
their desperate attempt to survive, at times they ate dirt and
drank their own urine to survive.
However, when they reached
the refugee camps, things were
not much better. They received
rations from the United Nations,
however they were not sufficient.
The cramped quarters and the
unsanitary conditions lead to the State San Marcos directly to the
spread of disease, and they were village that Benjamin, Benson

The lush jungles, vast miles of

the world to visit Africa, however, for the Lost Boys of Sudan
the land was more like a death
trap than a vacation.
After having read the gripping
tale of three x)f the Lost Boys in
They Poured Fire on Us From the

Lost Boys who coauthored the
book speak at Cal State University San Marcos, student Katey
Pfeil decided to do something to
give back to the Lost Boys.

Pfeil's inspiration
to help came from the
stories of three specific men, Alephonsion
Deng, Benson Deng and
Beiqamin Ajak. The
boys were all under the
age of seven when they
were forced by the civil
war in Sudan* which
became a genocide of
the southern Sudanese
people, to leave their
families, homes and villages, and they were left
to wander for years in
the desert.

�Genuine Draft Light 64
A Calorie Conscious Brew
BY JONATHAN E.
THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
Miller Brewing
Company produces
Genuine Draft Light
64. The company operates out of Milwaukee,
Wisconsin. Frederick
Miller began the brewery in
1855. In October 2007, SABMIiller and Molson Coors joined
forces making them the second
largest United States brewery
trailing Anheuser Busch.
The Pride's "Beer of the
Week" columns typically focus
on microbreweries. However,
Miller's new recipe deserves
coverage. In general, Californians are health conscious.
Several years ago people were
going on the Atkins diet like it
was going; out of style. Well, it
did eventually fade out like any
fad diet but demand still exists
for low calorie beers. Most light
beers currently on the market
offer around 100 calories per
12 fluid ounce serving. Miller
offers a beer with only 64 calories. Six packs of the brew retail
for $6.
A quick pour of the light brew
generates a shocking behemoth
one inch thick head. The head
gradually dissipates into a
frothy lancet. Bubbles of bliss
glide joy fully t o t he t op o f t he
glass emitting slight fragrances
of malts and hops. The beer
enters smooth then
releases a surprisingly
strong bitter taste.
Unfortunately, the
light brew, as natural
of a light calorie beef,
finishes too mild.
"It's not as raspy
as most beers. It goes
down really smooth.
It's not too stropg. It doesn't
have any aftertaste,"
said
nonstudent Josh
Chamberland
The low calories of the brew
are perfect for
those on diets
or searching
for ways to cut >
out unnecessary
calories. The
beer should be
enjoyed in social
settings such
as barbeques
or pool days
as the beer
does not produce a full filling like most
beers do. The
simple taste of
the beer will not
pair well with
meals. A more
flavorful beer
should be chosen
to consume while
eating.

After the panel presented both

A COMMUNITY O F COURAGE
S tudent v eterans s upporting o ne a nother
BY CHRIS GIANCAMILLI
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
In 2008, Cal State San Marcos
became one of the newest schools
to feature a veterans center to
support students who are current
or former members of the military. Today, the CSUSM Veterans
Center serves several functions.
The center not only provides
a place for the ever-expanding
population of student veterans to
hang out, but also provides much
needed information on the ben-
efits of being a student veteran.
The United States Department
of Veterans Affairs (VA) works
with the CSUSM Veterans Center to help student veterans. The
center serves as an intermediary to guide the process of acquiring benefits from the VA.
The CSUSM Veterans Center
mediates between students and
the VA in order to ensure students get the most help possible.
Thanks to the Post-9/11 GI Bill,
student vets are eligible to receive help with their tuition and
l^^^ffifi
fees, monthly housing, books,
and supplies. Legislation like the
Post-9/11 GI Bill has allowed
easier reintegration of veterans
into schools once their service is
complete. It is available for veterans seeking undergraduate or
graduate degrees, as well as vocational and technical training.
The Veterans Center recruits
veterans as potential students to
CSUSM by setting up booths at
junior colleges and military bases. Their goal is to let veterans
know that CSUSM is a veteran
friendly campus that strives to
help them as much as possible.
The CSUSM Veterans Center also provides information on
veteran life outside of school.
They help student vets find out
what veteran activities are taking place in the local area.
While information is essential,
the Veterans Center serves as a
friendly environment for student
veterans to relax, drink coffee,
watch TV, or surf the web. The
center features a large TV that the
vets use to play some of their favorite movies including "Avatar,"
"The Hurt Locker," "The Dark
Knight," and "Super Troopers."
Student veterans enjoy a movie at University Hour.
When two members
of The Pride staff told me
they wanted to do a mock
debate for the paper, I
raised my eyebrows. I may
have also rolled my eyes.
We've all been inundated
with political information during this election
cycle, and I'm starting to
become a bit indifferent.
You might be, too. However, the issue of immigration is always on the edge
of our consciousness as
San Diegans. When Jillian
and Amy said they wanted
to debate a hypothetical
proposition,
involving
temporary closure of international borders, I gave it
some thought. This issue is
becoming more and more
polarized, and it may be
something we see on our
ballots at some point in
the future. The opinions
included in this debate do
not represent the beliefs of
any staff member at The
Pride, including Jillian and
Amy. They are assuming
roles as part of an exercise,
meant to teach and inform.
To put it another way, they
got sick of all the ugly debates during this election,
so they made an intelligent
one of their own. We've in-

Veterans Center is not an official school club; therefore, the
center does not receive an operating budget from CSUSM.
They welcome donations of
anything from DVDs to food.
As the population of student veterans grows, so does this community of men and women eager
to earn their degrees. For more

AS: Ok, well, I appreciate your points of view,
Jillian, but I believe that,
I differ slightly in my assessment of illegal immigration. First o f f , immigration has been a part of
this country since its inception. There would not
be an America without illegal immigration. There
wouldn't be diversity
without illegal immigration. There wouldn't be
an America without this
diversity that has come
here, whether through the
system or not, and that's
the bottom line. There are
ways to become a citizen
of this country legally,
and that is one of the arguments that I hear quite
often about illegal immigrants is that they choose
not to become a citizen.
They choose to not follow
the rules of the country
that they are wanting to
live in. But becoming a
citizen is one heck of a
process, and some people
come here with eight children and they don't have
the time, and they work 20
hours a day and they don't
have the money to buy
the books to study all the
things they get tested on.
Jillian Kerstetter: Yes, I
will start us o f f . One of
the main arguments that
is usually presented by a
lot of political parties, political news activists, everything like that, is that
illegal immigrants, however unfortunate their circumstances are from their
country, have repeatedly
taxed our own economy,
meaning having to accommodate illegal immigrants
or students in our schools,
them taking away jobs
from our working class.
It's just become more of
a problem for us than it
has really been helpful for
them. It's always been a
Catch-22 situation, but I
think at this point, we need
to take a step back possibly, and look at the potential damage that could be See DEBATE, p g4
done to our regional and
potentially ourfederal sectors if we keep allowing
unregulated immigration,
or illegal immigration.

From DEBATE, pg 3
It is illogical for many people
to go about legalizing themselves in the United States because they just can't do it. The
reason they come here is under
hardship, and when the country that suggests freedom and
equality imposes this on people
who just want a better life, it is
a contradiction in and of itself
JK: That is a very good point. And
surprisingly enough, I do agree
with some of them. We should be
a country that does as we claim,
takes in the tired, the weary, the
poor. And I alsoagree that this
is a country of immigrants. Like
every other country in the world,
we should have a system for becoming a citizen of this country.
If you can't follow that system,
you shouldn't be allowed in.
AS: You're right, countries
maintain regulation by imposing laws on anyone who wants
to be a part of that country. That
is not the illogical part. Perhaps what needs to be done is
to create less stringent rules on
what it takes to become a citizen. They just want to come to a
place where they can have a job.
JK: What is America saying to
those countries that these illegal
immigrants are coming from?
What about their own power as
a country to help their tired, their
weary, their poor? I think it's almost undermining them to say
that we offer this great refuge...
If you want to talk about the more
pertinent case in our scenario, of
California, considering this has
to come up. Obviously that is the
more pressing issue as far as illegal immigration. Why aren't we
extending a hand to the Mexican
government? Offering them solutions , you know, money, whatever to help rebuild their government that is failing their people?
AS: Well, although I can't name
specifically the things that this
country does for other countries,
I know based o f f , I don't know,
common knowledge that—we
don't—we're not passive. We are
not a passive country. We don't
stand by and allow for injustices
whether in our country or another. I think i f s unfair to suggest
that America is trying to take
on the problems of the world
because I don't think we are.

trying to take on necessarily every single problem of the world,

case-by-case basis. However, at
this point in time, it has been a
heated problem that many people
have many differing opinions on.
We need to get on the same page.
AS: Illegal immigration is not
the problem. Policy is the problem. Once the United States gets
its policies in order and we stop
spending so much, maybe we will
stop and realize that illegal immigration is not the problem, it's the
way we're spending our money.

War and veteran memorials
BY REBEKAH GREENE
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
To celebrate Veteran's Day,
students can take the time to
visit one or two of ijiany memorials spread throughout San
Diego County. Many of these
memorials are well-known tourist spots, while others reside like
hidden gems for the community to discover and appreciate.
With origins dating back to
1914, the Mount Soledad Memorial is one of the more recognizable memorials in San Diego.
The symbolic cross stands at 29
feet and is dedicated to Korean
War veterans. Surrounding the
cross are six walls of black granite, with thousands of memorial
plaques engraved with individual
stories to commemorate war veterans. Mount Soledad Memorial
holds a magnificent view of the
coast, placed high above La Jolla,
and serves as an important place
for visitors to take a glimpse
into history. This memorial is
open to the public from 7 a.m.
to 10 p.m. and is located along
La Jolla Scenic Drive South. For
specific driving directions, see
the memorial's site: http://www.
soledadmemorial.com/indexiitm.
Closer to San Marcos is the
Wall of Courage, a memorial in
Escondido's Grape Day Park.
The memorial is the result of
funds raised by a local elementary school, veterans' organizations, and the Escondido City
Council. The Wall of Courage
stands as a tribute to the men and
women who have served and continue to serve our country. The
statues consist of two men and a
woman standing in front of a wall
that is covered in plaques with
the names of those who served in
the military from World War I to
those who currently serve today.
Grape Day Park holds many more
memorials, including a Pearl
Harbor Memorial and a Veteran
Memorial dedicated to men and
women of all branches of service.
For directions and more information on the park's sites, visit:

to Irving Berlin's "God Bless

1940, in appreciation of the common people. It's a fine song, but

We can change tomorrow by

Love Your Body event celebrates beauty
BY MAYA LIFTON
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
On Thursday, the CSUSM Women's Center threw its annual "Love
Your Body" event. The event included many booths where visitors could
get a henna tattoo, and stop by the
wellness center booth, where health
information was passed out, and resources on maintaining a healthy sex
life were available. In addition to
booths, the event was served food,
water, snacks, candy, and back and
hand massages. Thee event also
featured a red carpet where people
had the opportunity to strut down
with confidence and make the statement of "I am beautiful and proud."
Jenilee Remigio, the Communication Coordinator at the Women's Center said, "The purpose of the event is
for women to embrace their bodies
as who they are, what they look like,
and know that they are beautiful just
the way they are, and to challenge
society's beauty standards." Unfortunately, society has put a lot of pressure on women to look a certain way.
This pressure can be found mostly in
American media, which presents
certain images to young girls of
what a woman should look like
and what beauty is. TV comj mercials have also become much

more provocative. The only way
for women to completely break

A student and a veteran
An insight look into the lives of military students
BY VANESSA CHALMERS
ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR
Honoring our Veterans is an annual tradition come Nov. 11. For those of us who
may not be directly linked to veteran, the
perception of one may often be misconceived as an older, pony-tailed grandpa,
eager to reminisce about the old days.
While many of our grandparents, indeed,
are veterans and worthy of that stereotype, the image is not all-encompassing.
At CSUSM, veterans walk our halls, are in
our classes, and share the same burdens of
student life as us. However, their academic
lives are tinged with the experiences that
only a life in the armed forces can bring.
When asked what one of the most challenging parts about returning to civilian
life as a student has been, vet Elijah Artiaga confesses, "Making friends." Having
come out of an camaraderie formed with
the people he served four years in the Marines with, finding people with common
life experiences has been a difficult mission but, Artiaga is not alone. The Veteran's Center at CSUSM, located in Cougar
Central, offers a common ground for veterans to hang out. Fellow vet Nighat Beg explains that after having served in* the Navy
for 10 years, the Veteran's Center has allowed her to meet people and make lasting
friendships outside of service. For Beg, her
challenge came in the form of fashion. "I
had to buy more civilian clothes!" she said.
Approaching college with years of
military experience in tow has definitely
instilled some beneficial learning tools
in many student vets. Responsibility and
punctuality are two things veteran Aaron
Green has been glad to apply to his academic career. "I come to class and hear
students make weak excuses about being late, because their alarm clocks were
broken, and I think, 'Really? Your alarm
clock was broken?'" Many veterans, like
Artiage, join the armed forces to fund their
college education, either attending school
while in service, or resuming their education after their service is complete. As a
result, student vets come to college with
more life experiences than the incoming
first years who transition to college straight
from high school. Often times, their experience in the service influences their career
path, like Beg, who explained that having
worked with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) patients in the Navy has
inspired her to pursue a graduate degree
in Social Work, specializing in PTSD.
For incoming student veterans, Beg encourages openmindedness. Moving from a
highly organized environment to one that is
more lax in time, duties, and even fashion,
it is important to "think outside the box"
and be open to new situations. As for the
upcoming holiday, our vets have veterans
of their own they would like to honor, such
as Green's friend Erik Wegmann in the
Navyfightingpiracy off the coast of Africa,
and Chad Geddes' family member Carlos
Ashlock, who went MIA during Vietnam.
As Nov. 11 draws near, The Pride
encourages you to remember to honor
the veterans past and present who have

�Highlighting some of the most iconic war films
BY ASHLEY DAY
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Goriest War Film: Saving Private Ryan (1998)
Director Steven Spielberg propelled war movies to new heights with his adaptation of the horrific reality of
World War n . This action packed film, starring Tom Hanks as Capt. John H. Miller and an all- star cast (Matt
Damon, Edward Burns, and Tom Sizemore) set the standard for one of the most graphic battle scenes in a
movie. The first 15 minutes of "Saving Private Ryan" begins with the June 6 1944 and Allied troops storming of the beaches of Normandy, France. The worst part of this opening scene is a dying soldier lying on the
ground screaming for his mother while his entrails are falling out of his stomach. "Saving Private Ryan" is
not a movie for the faint hearted. The film wonfiveAcademy Awards.
Honorable Mention: Black Hawk Down (2001)
Best Depiction of the War on Terrorism: The Hurt Locker (2009^
Last March, "The Hurt Locker" scored six Academy Awards (including Best Picture) making Kathryn
Bigelow thefirstfemale director to win Best Picture. Jeremy Renner plays the lead as Sergeant First Class
William James, leader of a highly trained bomb disposal team. Set in the year 2004 in Baghdad, the movie
focuses not on political or social problems, but the hardships of a soldier's tour of duty. Dangerous bomb
diffusion scenes reveal the skill it takes to survive in a place where nobody can be trusted. "The Hurt Locker"
shows the intensity and stress war can put on the soldier.
Honorable Mention: No End In Sight (2007)
Best Romance in a War Film: Gone With The Wind (1939)
"Gone With The Wind" appeared at a time in American history when life in our country was bleak. The country had suffered through the Great Depression and World War II was engulfing all of Europe. The plot of the
film - the tumultuous period of the Civil War - paralleled to the catastrophe Americans were suffering through
during "Gone With The Wind's" release. Thisfilmbecame an instant American classic. Clark Gable (Rhett
Butler) and Vivian Leigh (Scarlett O' Hara) portray one of the most heart wrenching romances in a movie.
O'Hara suffers through losing her status, husbands, innocence and strength, a child, and ultimately, her true
love (Butler).
Honorable Mention: Casablanca (1942)
Least Historically Accurate: The Patriot (2001)
Set in 1776, during the American Revolution, "The Patriot," follows the life of Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) a French-Indian war hero. Martin lives as a farmer in South Carolina with his seven children. Martin
remembers the brutality of the French-Indian war and decides to remain on the sidelines of the Revolution,
until his family is endangered by British troops. Some of the inconsistencies of this film are a torching of a
church full of people (never happened), slaves being able to enlist in war (never would have happened) and
an unfair exaggeration of British aggression toward Americans. This film did not make as much as it was
projected to at the box office.
Honorable Mention: Pearl Harbor (2001)
Best Philosophical Message in a War Film: Apocalypse Now (1979)
"Apocalypse Now" explores the madness of the Vietnam War. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, "Apocalypse Now" delves into the minds of Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) and Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando)
during one of the most horrid wars in history. Cpt. Willard is sent to kill an insane Kurtz, but this journey
changes Willard in ways he did not know possible. Coppola explores human nature and the darkness war can
instill on the human mind.
Honorable Mention: All Quiet On The Western Front (1930)

THE FIGHT CONTINUES in Call of Duty: Black OPS
New enhanced technology enables multiplayers to enjoy new missions in a whole new way
BY FAITH ORCINO
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
The war rages on as "Call
of Duty: Black Ops" arrives in stores on Nov. 9.
Developer Treyarch and game
publisher Activision brings players back to the Cold War. This
new installment of the "Call
of Duty" game series is a sequel to "Call of Duty: World at
War.*' The game will be available for the PS3, Xbox 360,
Nintendo DS, Wii and PCs.
For the collectors within the
community, the limited Hardened
Edition includes the game in a
metallic case with four special
co-op maps, an exclusive Xbox
Live/PlayStation Network avatar and a medal in a display case.
For the die-hard fans, the limited
Prestige Edition package includes
the Hardened Edition set plus a
remote-controlled vehicle that
looks similar to the new RC-XD
killstreak with its remote. The
Prestige Edition is only available
for Xbox 360 and PS3 systems.
According to the game's official website (www.callofduty.
com/blackops),players have more
options to their gaming experience. Unlike the previous games,
"Black Ops" offers the choice
of changing the looks of the soldiers. It is one of the newest additions in multiplayer game-play.
Other additions include
Theater Mode, wager matches,
and new killstreaks. The re-,
turn of Treyarch also brings
the return of the zombie co-op
mode, where two players fight
an endless army of zombies.
"Call of Duty: World at War"
was the first to have this mode in
the game. In the single-player
campaign feature, gamers follow the path of a Black Ops
member. Players enter the Cold
War into secret missions and international conflicts. Whether it
is an online multiplayer match
or a new chapter of the campaign, "Call of Duty: Black
Ops" is a brand-new way to play.
