Earlier this month, Cal
State University, San Marcos faculties have taken
action across the CSU system, demanding a renegotiation of their contract,
which expired June 30.
According to a press release issued by the California Faculty Association,
the call for renegotiation
stems from what many consider unsatisfactory hiring
and pay practices intended
as a response to the recession, but which have not
shown improvement over
the course of the last year.
"Much of the focus is on local campus presidents who,
during the recession, did not
use their discretion in hiring and spending to correct
whatever had become chronic problems involving unfair spending policies," according to the press release.
"As a consequence of the
economic issue, we wound
up with a salary structure
that both sides agree was
broken," CFA President Lillian Taiz said. "We had a
situation where faculty who
had been working for years

extensive salary inequity issues among CSUSM faculty," Engen said. "This resolution came on the heels of a
budget analysis performed by
Dr. Howard Bunsis...which
concluded that CSUSM
does not have the resources
to fund such a program."
The CFA letter disputed the
conclusion made by President Haynes and the Senate
that there were not sufficient
funds to approve the Equity Pay Increase Program.
"The CFA research office
has since acquired more data
and informed the chapter that
for mere pennies on the dollar—just 0.37% of the university budget-you, President
Haynes, could fund our campus' share of what it would
take to close the gap between
the CSU's and CFA's salary proposals," said Engen.
Other campuses that took
part in these protests include
Cal States Bakersfield, Fullerton, Fresno, Los Angeles,
Monterey Bay and Northridge, as well as at least 15
other state Universities.
According to EdSource,
the California Commission
on Teacher Credentialing
met on Oct. 10 to discuss
the annual report on teacher
prep programs and concluded that programs dedicated to the preparation and
credentialing of prospective
teachers have declined by 52
percent in the last five years.
From the actions of the
CSU system since, it would
seem the initiative has made
progress. According to the
LA Times, California State
University announced on
this past Thursday, Oct. 16,
to have reached a renegotiated contract with the California Faculty Association.
This new contract provides
a 1.6 percent salary increase
for teachers and faculty.
Although the increase is
tentative, the pact allows
the parties to reopen negotiations for salary benefits
for 2015 and onward, allowing faculty in the CSU
system to keep a level of
involvement in the contract.
"The contract doesn't fix
the problems, it just begins
the road to fixing them,"
President Taiz said. "On the
one hand, we're pleased with
the outcome, on the other
hand, we both recognize there
needs to be improvements."

Many members of the
campus community have
advocated that creating a
Latino/a center at CSUSM
is essential in order for the
campus to become more
diverse and welcoming.
CSUSM is considered a
Hispanic Serving Institution, which is an institution
of higher education where at
least 25 percent of the student body identifies as Hispanic or Latino/a. According
to CSUSM's "2013 Cougar
Stats," which breaks down
the diversity of the student
body, students that identified
as Latino/a were the second largest population. Out
of 10,610 students, 3 352
identified as Latino/a, only
surpassed by 4,205 students
that identified as Caucasian.
This trend of a large
Latino/a population extends
to the San Marcos community itself, as reflected in the
city issued demographics
that reports that 37 percent
of the community identify
as Hispanic or Latino/a. This
makes Hispanic/Latino/a
individuals the second largest population to those who
identify as Caucasian, which
amounts to 49 percent.
Proponents of implementing a Raza Center argue that
due to the high Latino/a populations in the community
and on campus, it is impossible to accommodate student needs without providing
certain resources. Proposed
resources to be offered at the
Raza Center include assistance in completing graduate school applications,
easing the transition for
first generation college students, providing information on Latino/a culture and
educating all students on
how to be supportive peers.
The center would also be a
resource for undocumented
students that struggle with,
or feel uncomfortable disclosing, their identity in order to receive help with various processes on campus.
"I think that the Raza Center would create a safe space
for immigrant students that
are afraid of coming out of
the shadows," Co-Chair of
S.TA.N.D., Julio Chavez,
said. "It would provide that
feeling of welcome and provide resources for us to figure out what we can do to
become better informed persons and help out our families since most of us are first
generation students that don't
have the support we need."
Various groups have
been involved in the work
to achieve getting a Raza
Center on campus, including members of S.T.A.N.D.,
MJE.ChA, United Students of Color Coalition, the Office of Diversity and Ballet Folklorico.
The plans for the Raza
Center are detailed in the
ASI Resolution for a Latino/
Hispanic Center on campus,
which was approved by the
ASI Board of Directors on
Feb. 28, 2014, then pro-
posed to President Haynes.
Currently a committee
has been created to research
the plausibility of bringing
a Raza Center on campus,
tasks ranging from visiting
Latino/a centers on other
campuses to creating a timeline for when the center
should be completed to finding a space at CSUSM for
it. In addition, students have
hosted four Raza Center
Forums thus far to educate
students on what the benefits to having the center are.
"Our goals are to engage
and support first generations
students to improve retention
and connectedness," Associate Vice President of Student
Affairs, Scott Hagg, said at
one of the forums. "We want
to partner with students to
develop an engaging and
vibrant community to facilitate students' sense of belonging and campus pride."
Many students believe that
the Raza Center will function
as a second home and motivator for individuals in search
of their niche on campus.
"This life is like a journey," said ASI Board of Director's VP of Marketing
and CMO, Christian Cayetano. "Within a journey
there are many obstacles that
you overcome. But when
things get tough, just know
that there are others that
will help and support you."
Students in support of the
center can post a photo of
themselves with the hashtag
#RazaCenterCSUSM to try to
get the Raza Center trending.
�One million dollars allocated to ACE
By Jasmine Demers
Community News Editor
The ACE Scholars Services at CSUSM has accepted
a one million dollar gift that
will provide a new Center for
the organization and will further the development of a program that enriches the lives
of participating students.
The Jan and Esther Stearns
Center for ACE Scholars
will be the official new home
of the university program
that assists former foster
youth students in their journey to obtain higher education. Jan and Esther Stearns,
who have adopted their
own children from the foster system, are generously
donating one million dollars towards ACE Scholars
in order to show their overwhelming support for the
program's purpose and goal.
"We strongly believe in the
mission of CSUSM's ACE
Scholar Services Program.
To be able to play a role in
these students' continuing
success and help them realize their dream of a college
degree is extremely important to us," patron and member of CSUSM's Foundation
Board, Esther Stearns, said.
ACE Scholars Services
began in 2007 with the intention to change the lives
of foster youth and provide
opportunities to achieve thengoals through education. Jim
Mickelson, Director of the
ACE Program, has been with
the organization since its beginning and has worked as a
social worker for 35 years.
"Foster youth have the lowest educational attainment
rates of all other non-traditional populations, with 49%
who receive a high school diploma and 3% who ever step
foot on a college campus. Of
that 3%, only half will earn a

degree. We developed a program that is geared towards
supporting and guiding this
population," Mickelson said.
With 57 students in the
program, more students per
capita than any other University in the U.S., and an
88% retention rate, Mickelson takes pride in the
ACE program and is ready
to take this organization to
new heights with the Center
set to open in early Spring.
"The new space that has
been given to us has far
more meaning to ACE students than just a computer
lab, a training room, and a
lounge. One of the things
we hear from them is that
they are given a place and
that they are a part of a
family. They have a sense
of belonging and a sense
of pride," Mickelson said.
Olivia Battle, CSUSM
Student and ACE Scholar,
has been part of the program for 5 years and she is
ready to see the change that
comes with the new Center.
"I think it's going to be
headed by Dr. Louie F. Rodriguez, an author who has
studied this issue in depth.
According to a report
published this past April by
America's Promise Alliance,
an organization that devotes
itself to "helping to create
the conditions for success for
all young people/' the country's high school graduation
rate has recently risen above
80 percent for the very first
time in United States history.
Moreover, the number of
students enrolled in "dropout
factories," "schools in which
the reported twelfth grade enrollment is 60 percent or less
than the ninth grade enrollment three years earlier," has
significantly decreased by 47
percent. However, a sizeable
gap still exists between Caucasian, and African American and Hispanic students.
Shockingly, "one in four
African Americans and
nearly one in five Hispanic
students still attend high
schools where graduating
is not the norm", according to an article published
by PBS on Feb. 3 of this
year. This substantially increases their odds of not
finishing high school at all.
In the United States today,
the bulk of these dropout
factories are located in urban areas, like Detroit and
New York. In areas such
as these, African American and Hispanic populations tend to be greater.
Additionally, other factors,
such as access to successful
adults, living in a schooloriented home environment,
regularly receiving positive
messages concerning school
achievement and being a part
of a community with a strong
support system (afterschool
programs, neighborhood organizations, etc.), also play
a crucial role in the determination of academic success.
The report also states that
"in spite of gains made by
all students of color over

together and we share an
office with three other organizations. 1 think it will
be great that we will have
our own space," Battle said.
She explains her own personal experience with the
ACE program and how the
support she receives from
the counselors has helped her
throughout her college career.
"ACE scholars is a really great program because
they aren't really focused
on what happened in the
past. They are focused on
your future," Battle said.
The new Center for ACE
Scholars Services will be located in the University Student Union and will be celebrated with a ceremony in the
spring of 2015. Jan and Esther Stearns will be honored
for their dedication to this
program and for the value
that they hold for education.

In keeping with Diversity Month, CSUSM recently brought attention to
an endemic sweeping the
countries' universities, primarily a perceived issue
with graduation rates of
the past six years, - young
men of color continue to
lag behind other subgroups
of student", according to an
article published by GradNation in April of this year.
The graduation rate for African American men continues to hover between 50
and 60 percent, well below the national average.
In order to alleviate these
issues, the report suggests
that four key areas be addressed immediately: (1)
chronic absenteeism, (2) the
general lack of attention al-
lotted to middle* grades, (3)
the colossal amount of individuals between the ages of
18 and 24 who are, at present, not in school, not in
possession of a high school
diploma and not working
and, lastly, (4) the shortage
of positive role models in
low-income communities.
By concentrating of these
issues, the graduation gap
will begin to close and, it is
likely that, the United States
will be able to achieve a 90
percent national graduation rate by the year 2020.

Transgender feminism lecture offers insight
A s afe s pace f or o pen c ommunication a nd d ialogue
By Jasmine Demers
Community News Editor
Earlier this month, students at CSUSM gathered
together in the Gender
Equity Center to discuss
important issues of the
transgender community and
emphasize the importance
of diversity and acceptance.
Held during U-Hour on
Thursday, Oct. 16, the lecture
allowed CSUSM students
to learn about Transgender
Feminism and its role in the
larger feminist community.
Chelsea Brown, a student
and peer educator at the Gen-
der Equity Center, hosted
the lecture event in order
to educate other students
about transgender issues
and expose them to differing feminist perspectives.
As a transgender individual herself, Brown
wants to teach others about
transgender identity and
allow people to ask questions in a safe space.
"I was male assigned at
birth, and throughout my
life I knew that I never
felt way [male.] Freshman
year of college was when I
knew I could no longer handle the pressure to be male
any longer," Brown said.
In her lecture, she was
able to tell her story and
share her own experiences as a transgender individual, as well as discuss
important feminist issues.
"A core tenet of feminism is that biology does
not and must not equal
destiny," Brown said.
"The idea that women
should not be held down
by traditional gender roles
plays a major role in all
feminisms. Trans Feminism expands on that premise to argue that people in
general should not be con-
fined by sex and/or gender."
Transgender feminism, according to Brown, is an amplification of feminist views
and progressive discourse.
"Trans Feminism argues
that everyone has a fundamental right to determine
their own identity and no one
has the legitimate authority to define a 'real woman'
or 'real man,'" Brown said.
Brown explains that
there was a time when
transgender
individuals
were viewed as mentally ill.
The American Psychiatric
Association has since corrected that notion, but the
dysphoria that a transgender person feels is still considered a mental illness.
"Psychiatrists believe that
the only way to cure dysphoria is to undergo gender transition because it is
easier tofixthe body than
the brain," Brown said.
Brown also discusses
the ways in which Trans
Feminism is disputed in the
larger feminist community
and the transphobia that has
been made clear by particular radical feminist groups.
"Transphobia in the feminist community isn't new
and it continues to be pro-
moted by individuals who
are known as Trans- Exclusionary Radical Feminists. Their ideas contradict
the entire idea of feminist
progression," Brown said.
Throughout the lecture, students found themselves engaged in a constant dialogue and were
eager to ask questions.
Chelsea Brown is hopeful
that she will host more lectures before the end of the
semester and encourages
anyone with further inquiries to contact her through
the Gender Equity Center.

tability, survivor's guilt, relationship/marital problems
to troubled sleep, engaging in high-risk behaviors
and even suicidal thoughts
and actions. In short, these
'invisible' disabilities are
too serious to not be recognized as true disabilities.
Even if a returning veteran
is fortunate to not develop
PTSD, "100 percent come
back with readjustment issues," Costello said. "All
of a sudden, [these veterans

the lives of their loved ones,
who have gone on with life
while the veterans were serv-
to life being managed," Costello said, is one reason why
so many veterans have issues
with integrating back into
everyday life, "[unaware]
they are a different person."
And of the self-identified
disabled veterans on campus, John Segoria of the Disabled Student Services says
he "only sees a snapshot of
what's out there. [The problem] is bigger than people
think." Perhaps that is because veterans with PTSD,
MST and T BI do not want to
admit this condition, because
if they do, someone might ask
them what the trigger was.
worst day or if they killed
anyone," Segoria said. When
the veterans go to seek help
anywhere, be it the Veterans Center in San Marcos
City Hall or Disabled Student Services, they will find
compassionate people who
understand these types of
disabilities and want to help.
The Disabled Student
Center offers exam time extensions and a referral system that helps the veterans
seek the correct help. The
VA Centers offer a slew of
services ranging from individual/group counseling,
workshops on stress, anxiety
others, counseling for MST,
PTSD and bereavement.
There are many resources
out there for veterans who
are struggling, but Costello
sees "22 to 23 year old veterans who don't see 18 to
20 year olds as their peers."
The disparity of experiences between those who
have served and those who
have not adds an extra level
of isolation for veterans.
Given that these veterans
bring so much valuable experieac^Jg the campus, it is
time we give something back
at least in the way of compassion, respect and acceptance.

Knowledge, Perseverence, Diversity and Legacy seeks to uphold the values of its name
By Katlin Sweeney
Editor-in-Chief
KPDL features a multidimensional college experience that allows its
members to prosper as
individuals,
community
members and students.
KDPL, a sorority interest group that has been on
campus since 2009, has been
moving towards their goal of
establishing the first Asian
Pacific Islander sorority at
CSUSM. The group has
been working with Coordinator of Fraternity and Sorority Life, Nicki Croly, and
the existing Greek community in order to achieve this
goal. According to KPDL
President, Trisha Llanes,
this dream is transitioning
towards becoming a reality, approximately in 2015.
Reflective of its name,
which stands for Knowledge,
Perseverance, Diversity and
Legacy, KPDL works to instill aspects of each of these
four "pillars" in their members. To incorporate Knowledge, the group hosts a weekly, three hour "Study Hours"
session at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, where members meet
up to do homework together.
Knowledge and Diversity are
represented in events such as
their weekly Hulu and Tahitian classes, which are open
to all members of the campus
community. Four-year KPDL
member, Heaven Quiban,
teaches these classes at 5
p.m. every Thursday in Arts
101. KPDL tries to get as
many student orgs, as possible to learn at least one dance
for the end of the year luau
as a way to come together
and celebrate while teaching others about API culture.
KPDL also participates in
events like the Breast Cancer
Walk, beach cleanups and
Friendship • <jfemes. KPDL
alms^to iriclude all students
iii their meetings and events,
not limiting themselves to
those who identify as API.
"One of the biggest misconceptions about joining
a culturally specific org. is
that you have to be fit into
that to be part of that group,"
Quiban said7 "A lot of people have asked us if they can
join even though they are
not Asian and don't know
anybody that is API. [With
KPDL], we're highlighting
diversity and we're trying
to break down the differences between us. Uniqueness makes us special, but
together we are complete."
KPDL President Trisha
The members of KPDL look forward to transition towards sorority status.
Llanes explained that having the group on campus
has made her experience at
CSUSM more enjoyable and
increased her friend base.
"I joined the spring of my
freshman year and liked it immediately," Llanes said. "The
past presidents and members
are the ones that have really
motivated me to get where
I am now. I would like to
see KPDL expand so that it
inspires other API women
to come onto this campus.
We need to bring that diversity on campus, and we're
here to make a statement."
Quiban joined KPDL the
fall of her freshman year,
and expressed how much
the members rely on one
another. She explained that
when KPDL is established
as a sorority, it will help
the campus community become even more diverse.
"I hope that new members
will always learn the roots of
where KPDL came from and
how hard it has been for us to
earn Greek letters," Quiban
said. "I want them to have
an appreciation for what they
will have when they become
a sorority because we have

What if I told you there
was a realm in which the
pigment of your skin, the
dialect you are accustomed
to or even the way society
perceives you as a person,
is completely obsolete?
Well that realm is real. It
can be found in front yards,
public parks and residential
streets, to mention a few.
This world is none other
than the world of sports. The
cliché of "it doesn't matter if you're purple, green
or orange" applies liberally in this domain of life.
If you have ever played on
an organized sports team in
a league, your coach would
be the first to tell you that
it doesn't matter who you
are; if you can play you are
going to play. The same
doesn't hold true in other
areas such as positions of
power in the workforce or
media representation. In
other terms, you are not going to notice as many Denzel Washington's or Jackie
Chan's as you would a Tom
Cruise or even a Brad Pitt.
Then we have sports, a
magnificent creation indeed.
Let us take a second to delve
into a diverse scene. Steve
Nash, Kobe Bryant and Jeremy Lin; at least one of those
names should ring a bell.
Now what do all these people
have in common? They each
are players for the Los Angeles Lakers and love playing
basketball. The diverse and
uniqueness of those players is that they are Canadian, Black-American and
Chinese-American, respectively. Rest assured this trend
doesn't stop with basketball.

Team aims for s e c o n d A.I.I title in four years
By Erik Sandoval
StaffWriter
Students have taken a
stand against rape and sexual assault in an effort to
refocus the conversation
around supporting survivors.
Demonstrators rallied during U hour on August 26
in Library Plaza with posters, chants and demands for
change. Supporters included
Cathy Nguyen from Student
Health and Counseling Services, as well as members
of STARS, Active Minds,
the Health and Wellness
Center, Sigma Chi, MEChA,
STAND, the United Students of Color Coalition,
BSU and other CSUSM
professors and faculty.
The rally was organized in
response to the pending investigation of the Tau Rho
chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon. UPD issued a crime
report regarding allegations
that in May of this year, a
CSUSM student was sexually assaulted at an off-campus party hosted by members of TKE. Students have
responded to these claims
by protesting against the
victimization of survivors,
notably those at CSUSM.
Karen GuzmXn, who organized the rally along with
members of Feminists Anonymous, did this to specifically offer support to survivors of all sexual violence.
"Being survivors ourselves, we know what this
process feels like/' GuzmXn
said. "There Is~ so much
that goes into being victimized and we just want
this survivor to know that
we stand behind them."
Although TKE is not a
recognized organization at
CSUSM, the alleged sexual
assault is closely associated
with students and the surrounding campus community.
Jeff Salas, the chapter
President of TKE, explains
that fraternity members
are doing what they can
to aid the investigation.
"We have been cooperating with anything
that law enforcement has
asked us to do to help with
the situation," Salas said.
The university also responded to these reports by
focusing on student welfare and encouraging any
victim of sexual assault to
take advantage of confidential counseling services.
"The safety and well-being
of our entire campus community is our highest priority," CSUSM's Public Information Officer, Margaret
Chantung, said. "We will not
tolerate nor ignore sexual assault and we will hold members of our community accountable for their actions."
Chantung emphasized

Women's volleyball team
prepares for tournament
By Resty Grey
Sports Editor
CSUSM Women's Volleyball continues its hot streak
under head coach Andréa
Leonard with a win percentage well above .500 as they
look to finish off the season
and defend their Association
of Intercollegiate Institutions (A.1.1.) conference title.
As of Monday, Oct. 20,
cougars hold a record
of 16 - 8 on the season.
Cougars seem to have
struck a goldmine in its freshman class. Middle-blocker
Kristen Parker, libero Samantha Flores and outsidehitters Cheyenne Richards
and Ashley Kaylor have all
found a place in the rotation during almost every set.
Kristen Parker receives
exceptional
praise from Leonard.
"She's been really consistent for us, especially
for a freshman," Leonard said. "She's a kid that
comes in there with no
fear, she's a gamer. I think
we see her best when she's
in pressure situations."
Senior setter Alyssa Foster
continues to demonstrate exceptional leadership on her
team. Foster methodically
distributes the ball to every
one of the Cougar hitters on
the court, often displaying
her incredible volleyball IQ.
Composed and calm, nearly every set is dictated by
Foster, implementing lessons learned from Coach
Leonard during practice.
"Things we've been working on in practice is putting
ourselves in pressure situations in order to find a way
out of that and still be aggressive," Coach Leonard said.
"More importantly, mentally;
they have to keep their mental focus and stay aggressive.
We can't get complacent."
Junior outside-hitter Jordan Banich and senior
outside-hitter Alyssa Hubbard have combined to tally
more than 400 kills over
the course of the season.
"My setter is really good,"
Hubbard said. "I trust everyone around me and I know
I have to put the ball away,
there is really no other option. Any way I can help
my team to get a victory."
Cougars find consistent
effort and production from
their role players sophomore outside-hitter Brooke
Butler, sophomore middlehitter Morgan Willis and
senior middle-hitter Kelli
McLin, many times helping
to tip the scale in CSUSM's
favor during matches.
"We have players coming
of the bench and making impact points, which is really
hard to do," Leonard said.
"It's easier to be a starter, but
it's more difficult to come off
the bench and have to perform
right away under pressure."
The depth on the Cougars' bench seems to go on
endlessly as CSUSM continues to find excellent contribution from sophomore
setter Taylor Harris and
sophomore middle-blocker
Markisha Henderson-Diaz.
Despite earning plenty of
success against other teams
in the A.1.1. and N.A.IA.
conferences, Cougars are
still looking to improve upon
their volleyball proficiency
during competitive matches.
"There are definitely areas of our game we need
to work on and address,"
Coach Leonard said. "However we're battling. We're
back to that gritty determination, which is what
we really want to build up
towards the end of the season for a championship."
CSUSM will host only
four more home games before competing in the A.I.I.
tournament on November
14-15 in Denver, Colorado.
"This is exactly where
we want to be," Coach
Leonard said. "Rather
than fear that moment,
this gives us an opportunity to really embrace it."
dent concern and public
awareness of sexual assault
in the community. Karen
GuzmXn and other members of Feminists Anonymous explain that being able
to confront this violence is
the most important thing.
"We want to create a campus who is talking about it.
We want to facilitate those
discussions and eventually change our campus
climate," GuzmXn said.

Benefits of brown rice
The healthier alternative to white rice
By Beulah Supriya
StaffWriter
Rice has been grown
and consumed mainly in
Asian countries, but its use
is now slowly catching up
here in the United States.
Brown rice is not a different type of rice, rather
an unrefined version of the
white rice we now eat but
with much more nutrients
than its refined counterpart. Though it takes almost
double the amount of time
to cook it, approximately
40 minutes, brown rice is
definitely worth the wait.
Whenriceis refined, all that
is left is starch. Even in the
production of enriched rice,
quite a few essential minerals are lost in the process
which cannot be regained.
It is not only consumed as
a grain, but also as oil which
is made from the by-product
of refining brown rice into
white called rice branning.
According to the American
Journal of Clinical Nutrition, rice bran oil can help
reduce cholesterol. One cup
of brown rice gives 5 grams
of protein and 3.5 grams of
dietary fiber, which aids digestion and helps maintain a
healthy weight. Consuming
100 grams of brownriceproduces 111 calories, which is
quite small when compared
to white bread that gives 289
calories, more than double
the amount found in brown
rice (USDA Database).
This rice is also known
to contain a trace element called Selenium.
"Some scientific evidence
suggests that consumption
of selenium may reduce
the risk of certain forms
of cancer," said the Food
and Drug Administration.
So be it for health or
just to have variation in
diet, brown rice seems to
be the right companion.

them, October is all about
Breast Cancer Awareness.
One in eight women will be
diagnosed with the disease
and early detection is the
best prevention. Thefirstline
of defense is right at home.
You are your own healthcare
advocate and should begin with self-examinations.
Although, self-breast exams should not be used as a
sole means to identify cancer,
just an aid. The purpose is
for you ton become familiar
with your breast tissue, so in
the event a lump appears you
will be able to tell your doctor
whether or not it is abnormal.
Breast cancer is NOT limited to women. Although a
rare occurrence, men can
develop the disease as well.
However, women are nearly 100 times more likely
to be diagnosed than men;
breast cancer is the second
leading cause of death for
women in the United States.
The exact cause of breast
cancer is unknown besides
genetics, as is the case with
most cancers, but there are
a few lifestyle changes associated with decreasing the
likelihood of breast cancer
developing: Maintain an
active lifestyle by exercising and eating a well balanced diet, stop smoking and
limit alcohol consumption.

Hispanic/Latino individuals
associate exercise with the
strength and stamina that are
attained through the amount
of physical labor they do
associated with their jobs.
Strength and stamina carries
a certain level of pride with
it. This pride keeps Hispanics/Latinos from disclosing any sign of weakness,
especially regarding health.
For example, Mexicans
are historically known to be
taught to focus on the now.
Therefore, if he or she has
experienced an injury or a
health condition in the past
that is not present at a doctor's visit, it will likely go
unreported. More often than
not, Hispanic/Latinos are reluctant to seek treatment for
health issues
at all. Many
Hispanics/Latinos believe
in balance, if
that balance
is disturbed
they often rely
on natural or
h omeopathic
remedies, as well as their
deep spirituality to correct it.
Part of the Hispanic/Latino
culture is that many of them
do not believe in processed
or pre-packaged foods. Every meal is homemade, prepared with the utmost love
and care. Traditional Mexican meals include: beans,
rice, potatoes and tortillas.

Some Filipinos dedicate
themselves so selflessly to

Hispanics/Latinos,
also
have a culture full of hard

"We know that we have a

exercise and eating right affects blood sugar levels."

By Joshua Copeland
StaffWriter
Need a stress-relieving
escape in between classes? The CSUSM Clarke
has got you covered.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays at U-hour, The Clarke
provides a free Ashtanga
Yoga class. Yoga is an exercise that improves strength,
flexibility, concentration
and balance. It encourages meditation and clarity and allows you a brief
intermission between the
everyday school grind.
The class begins with everyone sitting in a big circle
(depending on how many
participants arrive to the
class). Sometimes the instructor will sit in the middle
of the circle or join the participants on the outside. As the
class progresses, the instructor will carefully monitor
the participants in the class,
ensuring the safety and support of the poses. If a pose
proves to be too difficult, the
instructor will provide you
with an alternate position
with equivalent effectiveness to fit individual needs.
"The main goal is to teach
you guys [students] the
physical practice of yoga
but then also to show you a

just a workout," yoga instructor, Louise McDugal,

At CSUSM, there is an
array of student organizations that anyone can join
that caters to students' needs,
hobbies, beliefs and specifications; the Muslim Student Association (MSA) is
among those organizations.
CSUSM student Amber
Mahmood, president of the

component in the group's
mission statement is unity.
Mahmood also emphasizes
that the organization is open
to all students, Muslim or not.
"[Our mission statement
is] to unite both Muslims
and non-Muslims in order
to better understand one
another," Mahmood said.
With many different ste-
reotypes and misconceptions out there, MSA encourages students to understand
what being Muslim means.
"It means being the best
possible person one can
be," Mahmood said. "Our
religion encourages its believers to be kind, justT"

pushes for equality for all."

large part of the international student population.
"There is something like
forty-two different countries
represented at this school
who are looking for a way
to connect," Vitor said.
"We try to help with that."
The faculty advisor for
the org., Karno Ng, administers the International Coffee Hour where the organization comes together and
assist these international
students with transitioning
into CSUSM. Many of these
students are looking tofinda
sense of cohesive community.
Priority Christian Challenge creates this community during meetings where
students come together
and participate in Bible
study and fellowship. Vitor defines fellowship as
means of communication
that brings students closer
to one another and to God.
"Its a type of Bible study
that is concerned with
the connection with Jesus," Vitor said. "We hold
each other accountable."
One of the major events
they have coming up this November is called Operation
Christmas Child. Operation
Christmas Child allows students within the organization
to gather donated clothes and
food from around campus
and put
them in
shoe boxes. Once
they have
them all
packaged,
organized
teams
will ship
the donations to
c ountries
in need.
The organization also recently had an event called
"See you at the Pole" where
they organized a public
prayer by theflagpoles. The
group prayed for the campus,
the community and the rest
of the world. Some of the
students from Intervarsity,

Spetletz-homemade brown butter egg noodles
Traditional German recipe made easy
By Chelsey Schweitzer
Senior StaffWriter
If you are in the mood for
a noodle dish with a twist to
break up the routine of regular old spaghetti or macaroni
and cheese, then this German
dish is for you. Spetletz is an
egg noodle dish that is served
in browned butter. In Germany, it is also normally served
with sauerkraut and pork
mixed in for additional flavor. This recipe has been used
in my family for generations,
and now you can try it too.
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
6 eggs
Dash of salt
Cold water
Butter (as much or as little as desired)
Directions:
Mix flour, eggs and salt
by hand. Add cold water
until it has the consistency of a thick cake batter.
Boil a pot of salted water
(to a soft boil). Slice strips
of the batter into the water
and cook until fluffy. Strain
into a bowl of warm water.
Brown the butter in a small
pan by cooking at the highest heat until browned. Strain
the noodles, toss and butter them. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add sauerkraut
and pork as desired. Enjoy.

International students
start to feel at home
By Sydney Schabacker
StaffWriter
When students go to college, some seek to find
what makes them special,
what talents they may possess and what possibilities
await. For international students Brian Park and O.C.
Si, coming to CSUSM is a
means for self-exploration.
Brian Park, a Business
Major, came to CSUSM
to extend his study of
English. He finds American culture fascinating,
and very different from
his home in South Korea.
"In South Korea everywhere is busy," Park said.
"There are too many people and too many cars."
But here at CSUSM, Park
expresses how friendly and
helpful everyone is, whereas
in South Korea, people might
be less inclined to ask for, or
give, assistance and advice.
Park believes that studying English will help him
succeed in the business
world. He hopes to one day
help his father manage their
family-founded construction business, Shintaeyang.

International students enjoy doin school work at the Global Education room.
"English is good for me
since English is a prominent
language throughout the
business world," Park said.
Another international student here at CSUSM also
believes how essential language can be in everyday life.
Communications major O.C.
Si wants to learn all about
the intricacies of English.
Si is originally from
Macao, China and was
influenced to come to
CSUSM by her brother.
"My brother studies
here, and he said it's a
good school and a nice,
quiet place," she said.
Si also expresses how busy
she has been since settling in.
"I have lots of things to
do: get a phone, water, gas,
an apartment," she said.
Despite the many extra responsibilities that are part of
starting a life in a new country, Si is excited to be here.
She loves the freedom of
American culture, delights
in the English immersion
and appreciates being part
of a diverse community.
Though both O.C. and
Brian are far from home,
their experiences here at
CSUSM are an exciting and
satisfying first step towards
their trans-global futures.

With record enrollments
this fall, CSUSM has been
named one of the fastest growing universities
in the Cal State system.
From the first graduating class of 1991 to the
2014 fall semester's record enrollment, CSUSM
has come a long way.
As the years passed and
more students were accepted, the university was
expanded, new buildings were added and new
programs were founded.
"It has changed a lot since
I started in 1991. Initially
we had only a couple of

The current fall 2014 semester welcomed 12,853
students to CSUSM, which
included 2,175 new freshmen and 1,644 transfer students, surpassing the 12,000
student mark that had not
been broken in the past.
The CSUSM campus
has also been recently
ranked as one of the best
universities in the area.
"As a relatively speaking young institution, it
is admirable to be ranked
among the top 20 best universities in the area," said
Gezai Berhane Associate
Director of Operations of
Dean of Students Office.
Another notable accomplishment attained by
CSUSM is the recently

that plan we have been implementing a lot of things"
CSUSM's accomplishments and progress can be

known as the Jerome's area.
"I was here the first two
years as a student, we didn't
take classes here thefirsttwo
years on this site we were at
what was back then the Jerome's area," Berhane said.
"CSUSM was founded in
1989, and that's when they
started hiring faculty and
staff administrators," he said.
"I was one of thefirststudents
enrolled in the fall of 1990."
CSUSM was the twentieth
campus in the CSU system at
the time and was headed by
Bill W. Stacy as itsfirstpresident. Alongside President
Stacy, there were 12 other
founding faculty members.
In Feb. 1990, CSUSM introduced its first junior and
senior class with an enrollment size of 448 students
while the CSUSM campus
Was still under construction.
In May of 1992, CSUSM
had its first official commencement
ceremony
prior to the grand opening of the CSUSM campus.
In 1996, Jean and W. Keith
Kellogg II pledged a donation
to the school which helped
support the future development of the Kellogg Library.
Moreover, in 2010, the
university celebrated its
twentieth anniversary, and
the enrollment of students
reached 9,767 and has
continued to grow since.
With a ranking placing it in
the top 20 best Cal States, a
diversity award and record

S tudents' H alloween t raditions
C ougars r emember t he m ost m emorable H alloweens

It is that time of the year
where the leaves transition
to oranges, reds and yellows, where the air gets
cooler, days get shorter and
where for one night of the
year people dress up in costumes, scare little kids and
pass out cavity ridden candy.
Childhood Halloween
celebrations were riddled
with candy, trick or treating, scary movie nights,
halloween parties with
friends and getting dressed
in flirty or scary costumes.
When asked about Halloween traditions, our fellow
Cougars grew excited and
nostalgic from the simple
thought of Halloween alone.
CSUSM freshman Josh
Morones reminisced about
Halloween time with
his friends and family.
"When I was younger, or
still, my neighborhood has
been one of the most popular destinations for trick or
treating," Morones said. "We
would get people from Tijuana, we would get buses with
tons of people and my street
would get totally packed. We
would also get a huge mob of
people, some would be twenty-five and others would be
two years old. It would just
What halloween costume will you
wear this year?
be a whole bunch of people
trick or treating together."
CSUSM junior, Nicholas
Bruno, pondered his early
childhood as he mentioned
that he does not currently
have much of a tradition as
he once did. However, as a
child, he would get ready
for the festivities by preparing their home for the
mysterious night to come.
"As a kid, I'd paint ghosts,
pumpkins and spooky things
on my window," Bruno said.
CSUSM junior, Diana Garcia, celebrates the same way
every year, while sometimes
helping kids in the process.
"I watch Hocus Pocus every Halloween either by myself or with others and since
I've been working with kids at
Project REACH, I have them
watch it too," Garcia said.
CSUSM junior, Michael
Martinez, sticks close to
his Mexican heritage as
he describes that he and
his family commemorate Dia de Los Muertos.
R E S T A U R AN T
"Our Halloween tradition
is the Day of the Dead,"
Martinez said. "We would
place a table in our living
room and just have it open
to put food on it for those
who have passed away;
the ones (foods) we know
they liked, and we'll leave
it there for two nights."
Regardless of what Halloween traditions students have
grown up with-trick or treating, partying, apple bobbing
or just kicking back watching Halloween classics—it
still remains a holiday that
brings out the kid in us all.
Whatever Halloween shenanigans you're involved
in, be sure to have fun and
be safe out there Cougars.

There are different cultures around the world
that celebrate Halloween,
some are unique while others are rooted in tradition.
Halloween
originated
from Ireland and was a Pagan Celtic practice. Youngsters wore outfits and went
trick-o-treating and most
individuals went to occasions or gatherings with
family and companions.
In Latin America and Spain,
for three days, individuals
praised on All Souls Day(s).
On the third day they have
a traditional feast, which
begins on Oct. 31. The end
goal is to demonstrate their
endowment for the spirits.
There is also an altar with an
offering to honor the dead.
The French celebrate
Halloween by going to
parties, social gatherings,
bars or clubs. Individuals
celebrate by hosting parties with scary themes or
by going trick-o-treating.
Lastly, in the Philippines,
Halloween lasts up to three
days and is built upon a
Catholic foundation. Similar to Spain and some Latin
American countries, Hal-
loween in the Philippines
begins from Oct. 31 to Nov.
2. where Nov. 1 and Nov.
2 are used to remember
the deceased. During these
two days, families gather
at cemeteries to honor the
dead. Some individuals actually live in the cemetery in
homes made out of coffins.
Halloween is celebrated all
around the world. Furthermore, the common phenomenon that is Halloween connects students' traditions with
the traditions of other countries such as Ireland, Latin
America, Spain and France.

October is National Diversity month, so now is the
perfect time to learn something new about a different
culture. One way to learn
about a new culture is to
build a friendship with someone who has a different cultural background than you.
Another way is to attend
the diversity events offered on campus. I've attended two such events this
month that each taught me
something new about cultures other than my own.
The first event was called
"A Land Twice Promised,"
and was about encouraging a better understanding

Israelis and Palestinians have
more in common than they
think. Something she said
that really stuck out to me
is that "once you hear someone's story, there's no going
back." Which leads us to the
wise words of Gene Knudsen Hoffman when he says,
"An enemy is one whose
story we have not heard."

way to learn more about different cultures. This event
shed a new light for me on
the struggles being faced
by Native Americans in our
society. It was also a great
time because Jensen's work
is funny and refreshing.
All of this to say that attending the different events
and lectures which the campus offers for free to students is a fruitful way to
learn new things about different cultures. I encourage all students to attend at
least one such event each
semester in order to engage
more fully with the diverse
world that surrounds us all.

Globalizing education benefits students
By Alhijaz Althagafi
Contributor
It has been said by Kofi
Annan that "arguing against
globalization is like arguing
against the laws of gravity."
Edward Fiske says that
if Americans are to continue to prosper and to exercise leadership in this new
global context, it is imperative that that we understand
the new global forces that
have both shaped, and been
thrust, upon us. The alternative is to be at their mercy.
Technological advancement has created a new
global culture. Each part of
the world today is connected
with each other. A company
in Korea can sign a contract
with another company in the
U.S without physically meeting. A family in South Africa
can watch the National Geographic channel at the same
time as a family in India,
both in their own language.
Globalization and technological advances have
played major roles in shifting the world toward a common culture, and it also
enhances education and
peace by allowing learning,
understanding and connection between diverse groups.
Diversity is not only about
race, ethnicity and gender,
but also religion, sexual
orientation, status and age.
Globalization and diversity
go hand-in-hand. The United
States has worked to apply
diversity and globalization
to the education system,
e specially
in higher
6
e ducation.
But why is
g lobalizing
our campus
i mportant?
The first
reason is
expanding experience. For some
college students, interactions on campus might be
the first time they have had
interpersonal communication with people from different groups. A university
campus is like opening the
door to the entire world
without the need to travel.
The second reason is to
improve social development.
By interacting with people
{
from different backgrounds
you can partner and develop
relationships. Sometimes
we have boring conversations with friends who have
everything in common with
us, which is why interacting
with people from different
backgrounds is so important.
The third reason is that it
prepares students for career
success. Emerging markets
mean economic growth, and
therefore the
need to prepare
students for
jobs that require
new skills. Students will soon
be looking for
a place in an
interconnected
world as never
before. The changing roles
of the international community, the changing face of
U.S neighborhoods, the challenges facing environmental,
health and science, must be
understood and managed by
a new generation of workers,
citizens and leaders. Dealing
with all of these will require
an education system that
prepares future employees
to lead in a global context.

university received the prestigious "National Diversity
Award," giving a false representation of our university. A
university that does not have
enough faculty of color, that
does not have ethnic centers,
that does not have Chicana
studies, Black studies, or
Asian studies; and a university that has continued to fail
students of color on an institutional level is not diverse.
While we acknowledge
that the university is aware
of these issues, we feel as
cause I do love seeing people
on my campus that resemble
many different shades. But,
with that said, I do believe
as a campus we can do much
more to expand diversity.
Being a college student, it
is my goal to graduate and
get a career, but in doing so
I want to change the lives of
students that believe there is
no hope in going to collège.
I am motivated by the idea
that I can be the changing
factor in a student's decision to come to college. That
is why I am in the flourishing, cultural organization of
BSU (Black Student Union).
It is our goal to start serving within our communities
because we, as a cultural
organization, realize how
important it is to see a person that looks like you telling you to go to college.
One quote I love to read
and that I can relate to as a
young black woman is by
Maya Angelou which says,
"My mission in life is not
merely to survive, but to
thrive; and to do so with
some passion, some compassion, some humor and some
style." And with that I encourage you to be a leader
today, tomorrow and forever.

cousins I didn't know existed
would join us for dinner.
I learned English along with
Arabic and had friends who
I played with after school.
I climbed trees and picked
mulberries off its stems and
watched sunsets with my
family from our balcony.
When I was ten, I remember packing a large suitcase
alongside my brother as my
mom told us of the adventures
we'd be having in America.
"We'll have a big house and
a backyard," my mom would
tell us with excitement.
I know now that what my
mom was searching for was
what many others from all
over the world were searching for. I came to the United
States with family who believed in the American dream.
When I arrived in the U.S.
I was shocked in every essence of the word but more
so, I was afraid of not fitting
in. Soon after, my mom enrolled me in the third grade,
and although I studied English in Egypt, it was still hard
for me to communicate with
classmates and teachers; language barriers became an enemy to my self-development.
Throughout middle and
high school I was asked
questions about my nationality. I was asked if I had lived
in a hut back in Egypt, or if
I had owned a camel, or if I
was somehow a descendant
of Cleopatra. I was always
surprised at how little people knew about Egypt and
how quickly people threw
stereotypes around. Some
people didn't even know
that Egypt was in Africa.
But what shocked me
the most was being told
by a classmate that "I'd
be afraid to ride in an airplane with you." Televi-
disrespectful and racist. Appropriating other cultures is
not harmless. It often contributes to negative stereotypes
of the culture being parodied.
T e reason appropriation
h
can be harmful is that rituals
and history that have a strong
meaning to the original culture are often be treated by
outsiders as "just for fun."
Then, the ritual or history is
treated in a way that is dis-
respectful and offensive to
someone who has it as a very
deep part of their culture.
Now, none of this is to say
that if you're not Chinese
you cannot eat that lo meiri
you bought for dinner. Eating a culture's foods, enjoying its music and learning the
language can all be enriching
ways to show your appreciation for a culture. Cultural
exchange and learning about
others' backgrounds can help
create understanding and
friendship around the world.
But wearing a cartoon-like
sombrero, poncho and heinous mustache isn't showing
respect: it's downright rude.
It's important to learn why
it's not okay for members
of a dominant culture to appropriate others. "Ethnic"

Identity is a culmination
of human experience, diversity and being part of a
community that connects
us. Being Egyptian American, my identity is closely
tied to both the life I lived
in Egypt and the life I live
here in the United States.
My experience in Egypt
consisted of living in large
apartment flats similar to
what you'd see in big cities
like New York, of Pyramid
adventures and camel rides
on desert ground. I remember
commuting through buses,
microbuses and trams, and
navigating through jaywalkers and traffic, side street markets and the many tourists.
I spent my childhood surrounded by my family— a silly, loud, funny family. We'd
have large family gatherings where uncles, aunts and

sion didn't help with those
kind of stereotypes either.
I soon realized that some
people's prior perceptions of
Egypt were automatically attached to me. Even if I tried to
crawl my out from under people's preconceived notions,
I'd find myself pulled back.
It's hard to form an identity when a part of you is
thousands of miles away,
the other part of you is
trying to adopt someone
else's identity and the rest
of you is being judged by
people's standards, stereotypes and their ideas of you.
There remains this large
disconnect between a picture
of the Egypt I knew then, the
Egypt I've grown unfamiliar with and my place in the
United States now. That's the
thing about living half your
life in one country, brought
up based on one culture's
ideals and then transported
to find yourself immersed in
completely different ideals you tend to lose who you are.
You may be wondering
why you should care about
my story, or any stranger's
story for that matter. But the
truth is, if you cared about
my story, maybe you'd see
me from a different perspective, beyond the superficial,
beyond stereotypes, beyond
brown hair and brown skin.
You'd see a world outside
your own; you'd see a perspective that television
screens won't show you.
Maybe you'd see a girl that
struggles with something
that everyone struggles
with—identity. You'd get to
know who I am, my life in
Egypt, my life now, and you
would no longer ask me if I
lived in a hut, or if I owned a
camel, or if I was a descendant of Cleopatra. You'd find
yourself relating to me and
maybe you'd find that we
all beat to the same drum.
Everyone has a story,
and their story matters. Ultimately, it's our stories
that keep us connected.
sional, "cultural" foods are
treated as exotic past times,
and the vernacular of people of color is ridiculed and
demeaned. People of color
are stripped of their ability to express their cultural
identities on a daily basis,
biit when white people do
it it's often seen as self-expression. This is a privilege
granted only to those of the
dominant culture. Fortunate-
ly, we as a society can learn
about these issues and work
to become more sensitive
to other people's cultures.
With all of this in mind,
please think before buying
that "Native American war
bonnet" from Urban Outfitters or dressing as a "sexy
Dia de Los Muertos sugar
skull." These are real people,
real cultures and real histories, not fashion accessories.

"I don't have a

Those were the last words
spoken by Michael Brown as
he was fatally gunned down
in Ferguson, MO by a Caucasian police officer. Brown
was supposed to start college that following Monday.
We have all heard someone complaining and
thought, "It is not just because you are black." But
this time, it is. I have silently
watched various videos pop
up on my social media newsfeeds of African-American
men and teenagers being
unjustly arrested, beaten,
shot at and even worse, murdered - all of them unarmed.
Remember, the staff member on campus who was
thought to have had an assault rifle? It turned out to
be his umbrella and he was
able to walk away, later
joking about it on his Facebook. I wonder if it were

M y e xperience i n E cuador
By Bobby Rivera
Alumni
It has been said that a
young couple went to San
Pablo Lake, which is located
below Imbabura Volcano.
When caught, the couple
ran off. They then went to
a single tree high on a hill
that overlooked San Pablo
Lake. It was there that their
kiss blossomed into love.
The Lechero Tree still exists
outside of Quito, Ecuador in
a colonial town called Otavalo. The folklore ending
is that the two souls were
separated by rival families,
one being the lake, the other
being the tree. Today, many
in love take their vows at
the foot of this tree in hopes
of having everlasting love.
I went to Ecuador this summer to research a fictional
novel that took me to three
indigenous communities
within this beautiful scenic
country. My return trip to
Ecuador was motivated by
an Andean medicine class
which I took from Professor
Bonnie Bade in the summer
of 2013. What was to have
been a 5-week trip, expanded to 3 months after I fell in
love with the city of Otavalo
and the people of Ecuador.
My novel took me to the
three regions of Ecuador.
First, to the Highlands where
the city of Otavalo is located.
Then to the Coastal area in
the city of Santo Domingo
home to the Tsachila Nation.
Finally, to the Amazon region
where the town of Lago Agrio, where the Cofan nation
is located. What ties all three
nations is the respect and love
of mother -earth. They call it
Pachamama and it's shared
by many Andean villages,
towns, and cities where culture is preserved. It was quite
common to see homes with
gardens. It's a spiritual belief that connects our planet
earth to the outside cosmos.
The city of Otavalo can be
described as a highland colonial town. In recent years
the government took a moral stance and implemented
Buen Vivir (Spanish for the
good life) to their constitution to preserve and integrate
an indigenous language and
protect indigenous people. It
compares to where we stood
as a nation during the racial
conflict in the civil rights
era of the 1960's. Indigenous people were regarded
as second class and racial
stratification created a have
and have not way of life in
Ecuador. People of color
had fewer life opportunities
to improve economically
and lacked educational resources. Language is a common bond for the preservation of culture in Otavalo
Quechua
(pronounced
keechwa) is one of the remaining indigenous languages and Otavalo is a peaceful
town. Men wear their hair
braided and long and women
wear gold beaded necklaces
with white floral blouses. I
spent nearly a month there
learning Andean music,
rituals and customs. As a
contemporary sociologist
in making, I truly evolved
into an anthropologist.
I also met a musician, Ali
Lema, who enlightened me
on Andean traditional music.
He was awarded a scholarship to the University of
Otavalo where he is leading a grassroots movement
to bring Andean music into
academia. While studying
music, he also teaches other
students to play Andean instruments that can only be
found in the Andean Highlands. His family of five
lives on a few thousand dollars a year. His 104 year old
grandmother also lives adjacent to the home where his
wife Carolina sings along
with his 3-year-old daughter,
Palomita. They also open up
their home, which doubles as
a music school, to students.
From Otavalo I went south
to Santo Domingo, home to
the Tsachilas nation. They
Use a vegetable dye to paint

themselves on being self-sufficient. The Tsachillas were
formerly called the Indios
Colorados (redhead Indians)
but a recent movement to
change that has elicited the
government to lead and correct this bias by using the appropriate name of Tshchilas.
It was just outside Santo
Domingo that I met Henry
Calazacon who represents
his nation by sharing his history and customs. Henry has
traveled the world and is eager to share his way of life.
Henry spent a day trying
to perfect my spear throwing technique and teaching
me the names of hundreds
of plants that they use for
teas and remedies. As the
son of an elder leader, Henry is responsible with the
teaching the global community about the Tsachilas
and the preservation of the
ancient language, Tsafiki.
It is one of the oldest spoken languages in the world.
The Tsachilas invited me to
spend a few days with them.

After summer's departure,
fall brings many new and returning TV shows this year.
A number of shows either
finally answer multiple unanswered questions from
last year's season finales, or
introduces new and upcoming actors who play unusual, funny, terrifying, strong
and even crazy characters.
The networks provide the
fun and gripping experiences of getting the chance
to watch many TV shows or
even TV Movies for audiences with different preferences.
Fall TV shows lineup
Mid-September had the
return of the exciting ABC
superhero show "Agents of
S.H.I.E.L.D," also CBS's
navy crime drama NCIS with
an explosive new season and
its new spin-off, "NCIS:
New Orleans," joining from
last year's episode "Crescent
City Parts I and H." "NCIS:
Los Angeles" accompanied its counterparts in the
CBS lineup before the end
of the month. The network
also introduced couple new
shows to the fall TV lineup: "Scorpion," "Madam
Secretary" and "Stalker".
The CW started its October lineup with "Reign," the
story of Queen Mary of Scotland, and then double brother
trouble with "The Vampire
Diaries" and "The Originals"
in their second seasons. The
fan favorite "Supernatural"
returned for its tenth season after leaving fans with
a shocking cliffhanger. The

season. A new creepier
theme is introduced, Freak
Show, set in the 1950's.
ABC brings back yet another thrilling season of

"Once Upon a Time" with
Elsa, the character of "Frozen," making an appearance

just can't seem to move on.
He keeps coming back to
life every time he dies in a
horrible accident since his

This fall season made a
grand entrance with many
new and upcoming TV shows
and returning ones as well.
There is more to come in the
upcoming months, even next
year. So stay tuned and don't
miss all the comedies, drama, thriller and supernatural
shows these channels offer.

Conversations that
Matter
Lecture covers the Ferguson Shooting
By Beulah Supriya
StaffWriter
This summer, a young African American man was
shot by a police officer in
Ferguson, Missouri, sparking
protests across thè country
against racial profiling and
the actions of Officer Wilson.
With conflicting eyewitness reports, it has been difficult to identify the reason for
the confrontation, but what
cannot be argued is how
the shooting has affected
people all over the country,
not to mention, the world.
On Oct. 22, CSUSM's
"Conversations that Matter"
lecture series will be hosting
a discussion about the matter,
titled "This time we call it
Ferguson: Racial Shootings,
the State and Resistance."
The lecture, organized by
the Office of Diversity, the
Sociology Dept. arid CHABSS, is to be heldfrom12 p.m.
to 1:30 p.m. in the USU ballroom and will be followed
by a Q and A session with the
panel. The date of the lecture
coincides with the National
Day of Protest against police
brutality and racial profiling.
"The main aim of the discussion is to inform the community about the country
still being a racialized state
built on white supremacy
and containment of color,"
Sociology Dept. Chair, Dr.
Sharon Elise, said. "Some
other topics which will be
focused upon are: how the
law constructs race and racism, slavery and the his-
tory of white supremacy."
When asked how this discussion will help the school,
Professor Karen S. Grover
highlighted its importance.
"Racial profiling creates
a hostile learning environment for colored people who
have come to study, not to
live in fear," Dr. Glover said:
Dr. Elise also pointed out
that the sad case at Ferguson is not a single isolated
incident, but indicative of a
crisis happening all over the
country. An example closer
to home was the 2005 case of
Jorge Ramirez, a robbery suspect shot six times though he
was lying on the ground due
to a previous bullet injury.
There are many more such
incidents which have come

The first sign of autumn
isn't leaves changing colors
or the onset of cooler weather; it's the sudden arrival of
everything pumpkin-related.
From the infamous pumpkin spice latte thatfloodsour

and their assorted uses, scents
andflavorsdominate the season. We love pumpkin. But
if you aren't satisfied with
merely buying various things
made of pumpkin, it might
be time to take autumn to
the next level and try making
your own pumpkin products.
Why settle for something
you simply pay for when
you can have the satisfaction of concocting your own
pumpkin creations? If you
want to test your pumpkincraftiness, consider attempting these pumpkin favorites:

those looking to make
something slightly less traditional, pumpkin soup is
a delicious (and healthier) alternative to pies,

A &E C ommentary: K ill Y our D arlings
By Alex Maravillas

Different lights uncover
the bohemian kineticism
that thrived amid the 1940s
and 1950s in New York City.
Today marks the one-year
anniversary of the American biographical-drama Kill
Your Darlings, written by
Austin Bunn and directed
by John Krokidas in his
feature film directorial debut. Kill Your Darlings is
one of my favorite films.
I remember watching this
film a few days before Halloween last year. I was fixated by the film's overall
plot. I especially appreciated
the raw direction thefilmdecided to take. For example,
in thefilm,there are intimate
moments that do not revolve
around the traditional heterosexual narrative, which
were excellently portrayed
by the cast. The cast included Daniel Radcliffe as Allen
Ginsberg, Dane DeHaan as
Lucien Carr, Jack Huston as
Jack Kerouac, Ben Foster
as William S. Burroughs,
Michael C. Hall as David
Kammerer, Elizabeth Olsen
as Edie Parker, Jennifer Jason Leigh as Naomi Ginsberg, David Cross as Louis
Ginsberg, Kyra Sedgwick
as Marian Carr and David
Rasche as Dean John Cullum as Professor Steeves.
Daniel Radcliffe, widely
known for his lead role
in the Harry Potter series,
plays a young Allen Ging-
berg in the 1940s, in his
college years with some
of the earliest members of
the Beat Generation (Carr,
Ginsberg, Burroughs, Kerouac and Kammerer). The
chemistry between Daniel
Radcliffe and Dane DeHaan
was phenomenal. In an interview, Dane DeHaan confessed that as a result for
DeHaan to play this role, he
fell in love with Radcliffe.
This film revolved around
a murder case, associating

from the charm of the plot.
In my opinion, in the
more prevalent social setting, whether you consent
with it or not, the individuals characterized by New
York were those who set
out to leave the security of
their made familial enclaves
in minor towns and stake
their case to impressionistic

Their eternal words, music and craft are our legacy,

movie shifts into a thrilling
horror film and never lets

hardly a moment where
you aren't in a state of fear.
When the tension is piled

of great horror, the lighting,

were decent, but Captain
America: The Winter Soldier
is just what you'd hope for
from a Marvel Studios film,
and maybe even then some.
This latest installment in
the Marvel Cinematic Universe takes some of the
world's favorite plots in the
film industry and rolls them
into two epic hours of Marvel goodness. The main plot
is reminiscent of the original
Mission Impossible, while
the twists remind me of Salt.
At the center of all this action
is, of course, S.HJ.E.L.D.
member and World War II
hero Captain America, a.k.a,
Steve Rogers (Chris Evans).
One of the film's main
premises is the super soldier's
struggle with what appears to
be a lack of integrity in this
strange world around him.
Director Nick Fury (Samuel
L. Jackson) seems to be lying
to him habitually. Tension
increases when Fury shows
Rogers three new helicarriers like the one in Avengers
that will launch into the sky
and work to eliminate threats
before they can happen.
but true: "We [fought] so that
people could be free. This
isn't freedom. This is fear."
This struggle with the
morality of S.H.I.E.L.D. is
not limited to the betweenaction scenes either. The
development has clear implications in the action as it
is revealed that the terrorist organization HYDRA
has infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D.
The subtitle character, the
Winter Soldier, is the strong,
silent type: donning a mask
for most of the movie. His
identity is revealed shortly
before the climax and the
twist is surprising. Although
the captain manages to whip
all his standard foes into
shape, the Winter Soldier is
the only character who stands
a solid chance against him.
Other characters include
Natasha Romanoff with the
alias of the Black Widow
(Scarlett Johanssen), returning from The Avengers
to once again play a major
role, along with S.HJ.E.L.D.
agent Maria Hill (Cobie
Smulders). Newcomer Sam
Wilson, a Jc.a. Falcon (Anthony Mackie), proves to be the
antithesis of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s
ambiguous morality, thereby
landing him the role of Captain America's new sidekick.
Then there's Sharon Carter
or Agent 13 of S.H.I.E.L.D.,
secretly assigned to protect
Rogers. She seems to be
on his side throughout the
film, being the first general
SHIELD agent to actively rebel against HYDRA's regime.
Rumor has it, she'll have
a bigger role in the future.
Well-crafted action sequences, a strong atmosphere
of conflict within and without, and afilmthat takes the
best of actionflicksand rolls
them into one makes Captain
America: The Winter Soldier
more than worth your time.
If you were disappointed
with Iron Man 3 and Thor:
The Dark World because you
thought they were lackluster
compared to their predecessors, then I'm certain you'll
enjoy this film much more.
On the other hand, I ' ve heard
people say that this film is
better than The Avengers.
Do I agree? Well,
I don't disagree...or
agree. Oh, never mind.

There comes a time
where you find yourself
engaged in a book that reminds you why you loved
reading in the first place.
If you're an avid reader
like me, there's nothing better than a story that enraptures you with its twists,
turns and revelations leaving
you wanting more. When I
was younger, I found myself engulfed in "Nancy
Drew" novels; solving a
juicy mystery has always
been a guilty pleasure. While
"Nancy Drew" allowed me
to channel my inner Sherlock Holmes, those mysteries were simply a warmup for the mystery works
of author Gillian Flynn.
Her best selling novel
"Gone Girl" is a work that
completely alters the meaning of the mystery genre.
While it's no child-friendly
mystery, it is evident that
it is in a league of its own
joining the ranks of other
mystery successors: Stephen
King and Agatha Christie.
The story centralizes on
Nick and Amy Dunne, a couple which gives new meaning to being in a relationship
and "it's complicated." Nick
is a struggling writer coping
with the loss of his job, owning a bar with his sister and
living in the shadow of his
prestigious wife. Amy is the
daughter of an Ivy-League
family, forced to forever live
as a created product to her
parent's well-known book
series "Amazing Amy,"
After meeting, falling in
love and getting married,
the morning of their fifth
anniversary changes everything for the couple. Amy
goes missing, leaving Nick
and readers on a journey to
solving the mystery of what
happened to her and whether
there is more than meets the
eye to Nick and Amy herself.
The novel takes readers
through the trials and tribulations of the Dunne marriage,
revealing secrets and scandals, via Amy's detailed diary, surely to make you wonder what kind of relationship
they had. The best thing
about this novel is it never
seems to follow the cliché
mystery formula: "murder
+ evidence + suspicious
people = mystery solved."
This novel introduces you
to an alternated formula:"
murder + evidence + mind
confusion + headache + willingness to throw the book
across the room because
you are unable to figure out
where this story is going."

component adds flair and
interest, the only negative aspect of this book is its ability
to give you a headache, becoming the novel version of
brain challenged "Inception."
What sets this mystery
apart from others is its
ability to engross readers. This isn't a story that
can just be read. It's a story
that you become a part of.
Although Gillian Flynn
has other successful thrillers,
"Sharp Objects" and "Dark
Places," it is "Gone Girl"
that dignifies her position as
mystery writer. I'm not sure
if she will ever be able to pen
another novel as brilliant as
this one, but with a successful film adaptation starring
Ben Affleck, it is discernable that Gillian Flynn is
just beginning to make her
mark in the literature world.

SAN DIEGO ~ Former CSUSM student Matt
Weaver was charged in federal court with four counts of
fraud on Feb. 8. The FBI investigation has been ongoing
since Weaver's on-campus
arrest on March 15,2012.
According to the FBI report, Weaver was attempting
to rig the 2012 ASI elections
and win the office of president, and he stole 740 student
identifications in the scheme.
He was charged this month
with four counts of fraud
and released on $20,000 bail
pending trial.
Further research into the
case showed that Weaver had
allegedly been planning to
run for ASI office as early as
July 2011. According to the
report, he sent a request t o
ASI for the budget and salary rates for ASI student officers — who earn an annual
salary ranging from $ 1,000
to $8,000. The ASI budget is
$300,000.
FBI investigators found
a PowerPoint presentation
on Weaver's computer that
proposed that he and his Tau
Kappa Epsilon (TKE) fraternity brothers (a fraternity
banned from CSUSM) run
on a slate to obtain five ASI
positions. The presentation
suggested that Weaver run
for president and his fraternity brothers run for vice
president positions.
According to the investigation, the method Weaver
used to fraudulently access
information and cast votes
involved plugging keylogging devices into 19 university computers in January
and February of 2012 to
obtain students' logins and
passwords. He kept the information on 740 students in
multiple Excel spreadsheets
on his computer, one of the
largest files was titled "Fu**
ASI .alpha."
Access to campus accounts
also gives access to one's account network-based university services which include
email accounts and other private information.

B Y COUGAR CHRONICLE
STAFF MEMBERS
A local Internet security
expert praised CSUSM's
detective work that brought
down an election-rigging
scheme on campus last
spring. But the case against
the ex-student charged with
the crime shows how vulnerable computers—and their
users—can be to cybercrime.
On Feb. 8, Matt Weaver
was charged in federal court
with two counts of wire
fraud, one count of access
device fraud and one count
of unauthorized access to a
computer, for allegedly attempting to rig the votes in
the ASI election in March
2012. The criminal complaint said that Weaver, who
was running for the office of
ASI president, purchased and
installed up to 15 keylogging
devices on 19 on-campus
computers in order to gather
the username and passwords
of 740 students (which he allegedly used to cast votes for
himself).
Chris Gruenwald, owner of
Bayside Networks in Sorrento Valley, described the ASI
election-hacking scheme as
"an aggressive, primitive
act" that is likely to have severe consequences if Weaver
is found guilty.
"He sounds like a young
wise guy who thinks he's the
smartest guy in the room,"
Gruenwald said, adding that
if Weaver is found guilty of
the crimes, then: "he's ruined
his life and thrown away a
good chance at an education
for something he didn't really think through."
Gruenwald described keylogger hacking as a relatively
unsophisticated form of cybercrime.

Chancellor W hite addresses C SU student concerns
B Y MELISSA MARTINEZ
NEWS EDITOR
Earlier in February, Chancellor Timothy P. White held
a press conference from his
office in Long Beach, where
students had the opportunity
to voice their questions and
concerns for future changes
in the CSU system.
On Feb. 6, many of the topics discussed were policy issues for the CSU such as the
current CSU budget, online
education (something that
White has advocated for)
and the quality of education
one expects to obtain while
attending a C SU.
Along with last f all's reimbursement of 9 percent of

Students throughout the

the cost of tuition Continues
to rise, so does the cost for
textbooks. CSU Rent Digital
is one of thè many aspects
of Affordable Learning Solutions initiative, a program
beginning in 2010, that aims
in offering affordable course
materials to students as well
as greater access to lower

faculty among the 23 CSU

CSU Rent Digital incorporated the partnership of CSU

The university had no comment on the charges Weaver

His nose is keeping us out of danger:
Sergeant Derouin and his vivacious K-9
BY JESSIE GAMBRELL
O PINION E DITOR
In addition to this campus
being the No. 1 safest four
year university in California
according to Stateuniversity.
com, we are also the home of
our own bomb-sniffing EOD
K-9, Vince.
Vince was brought to our
campus three years ago by
Sgt. Raymond Derouin, who
had a hunch to bring an Explosive Ordinance Detection
(EOD) K-9 on campus to
protect. students from harm.
Though Vince has not yet
encountered a real bomb,
they have been called in on
several accounts of potential
(but false) threats.
"Dogs are smart, he loves
it here, he knows the campus
very much, and especially
loves the parking structure
where he gets to play and
twice a day we go to search
the campus. He is very approachable and' friendly,"
Sgt. Derouin said.
Vince is an 88 lbs., 6-yearold field Labrador who was
a rescue from Idaho, set to
be put down, when someone had the idea to test him
for police Kr9 skills and he
passed. After discovering
him to have heart-worms , he
was almost going to be put
down again, but was successfully treated and cured of
his health threat. David Dorn
of K-9 S.T.A.C. (Specialized Training And Consultant) from San Francisco took
Vince in and trained him for
police work. Sgt. Derouin,
who has been here since
2007 (previously spent eight
years as a Riverside sheriff)
proposed to the UPD the importance of having an EOD
K-9 on a college campus.
, "I wrote the program for
Vince in 2009, Vince is our
first K -9.1 wrote out the need
for a K-9, what I articulated
in my PowerPoint was that
campuses are a target. You
have to add another level of
safety," Sgt. Derouin said.
Vince is a "passive-alert"
police dog, meaning that he
will sit down when he finds
the bomb, and gets repeated
training four to five times a
day with a sample bombsniffing exercise to keep
his nose sharp. He is also a
"single-purpose" police dog,.
meaning that his only purpose is to detect smells, not
control (military dogs).
"Everyone loves him,
he [Vince] was on TV at a
Charger's game once and
was even featured on the
front page of the North
County Times. He was even
in a competition in Modesto
County and won first place
for the fastest finding time.
We. get a fair amount of
brand recognition," Sgt. Derouin said.
Vince is most likely going
to be retiring next year due to
a bad (but attended to) case
of hip dysplasia that led to
the need of finding a smaller
car for him to get into, given
that he must jump in and out
the car many times a day.
They hope to find a replacement or two once Vince goes
into retirement.
"We don't want to run him
into the ground, we want him
to have a comfortable retire- .
ment. He isn't property; he
is more like a human to us
He has been a great asset and
everyone loves him," Sgt.
Derouin said.

Cougar baseball remains undefeated
Chapman, Bethesda both go down as team improves t o 7 - 0
B Y ALEX FRANCO
SPORTS EDITOR
The CSUSM baseball team
leaves no doubt in anyone's
mind that its mission this
season is to win a national
title.
After the Feb. 8 game vs
Chapman was delayed due
to weather, the game was
rescheduled to Monday Feb.
11. The delay wasn't enough
to stop them from exerting
their will on visiting Chapman, beating them 3-0 to
improve to 4-0 on the season.
Pitcher James Dykstra
fueled the win, pitching
seven innings of nearly flawless baseball, only allowing three hits, while striking
out nine batters and walking
none. Brandon Bentson got
the cougars ahead early and
gave Dykstra an early lead to
work with when he belted a
single to right field to bring
around Mike Guadagnini
for the score. The Cougars
would add two more runs
in the game but would only
need the one run to win, as
Dykstra, Frank Charlton and
Hunter Brown all combined
to complete the shut-out.
On Feb. 12, Chapman
would return and face the
Cougars once again and
would put forth a better fight.
Just like the first game,
Brandon Bentson got the
Cougars off to an early lead
in thefirstinning with a right
field single to bring in Tyler
Bernard.
Chapman would answer
back in the third inning with
a run of its own, to tie it up
against starting pitcher Steve
Messner. In the bottom of
the inning, Kenny Belzer
would put the Cougars up
again with a 2 RBI single up
the middle, and would add
another run in the inning to
go up 4-1. The game would
continue as a back and forth
affair as Chapman scored
3 runs of its own to tie the
game in the next two innings.
With the game tied up 5-5
in the seventh inning, Belzer
would once again come up
with runners on base and give
the Cougars the winning run.
After an error from the left
fielder, Belzer would bring
around two more scores , to
put the cougars up 7-5. The
cougars would later go on to
win 9-5 and improve to 5-0
on the season.
"5-0 is a real good start for
us, we played well the previous week against Concordia,
and took a step back after
the rain delay but important
thing is we won the game,"
Head Coach Dennis Pugh
said. "February is our month
to do well in, March and
April are going to get real
tough for us."
On Friday, Feb. 15, Bethesda came to town for a double
header and the cougars wasted no time making a statement. Six different pitchers
made CSUSM history and
combined to pitch the first
no-hitter in the programs history.
Pitchers Mike Scaramella,
Kevin Hilton, Addison Domingo, Jackson Gaskins,
Tony Guerra and Matt
Bataska all surrendered no
hits to Bethesda batters.
Not to be outdone by the
pitching staff, the offense of
the team scored an astounding 9 runs in a 9-0 win. The
Cougar offense soared thanks
to Kenny Belzer who once
again got the game started
with a first inning 2-run
home-run and ended the day
with 3 RBIs. Mike Guadagnini also contributed to the
success, going 2-3 with an
RBI and 2 runs.
The second game of the
doubleheader was more of a
pitchers duel as both offenses
struggled to bring any runs
across the plate, going 3 and
out for the majority of the
game until the sixthvand final
at bats for the cougar offense.
Tyler Bernard would score
off a passed ball on the catch-.
er to put the cougars ahead
1-0 going into the game's final frame when Frank Charlton would close the door for
the win to improve to 7-0 on
the season.
"Pitching was outstanding,
it's great to be off to a 7-0
start, these were the games
we were, losing last season,"
coach Pugh said. "Pitchers
are great at getting ahead in
the count early and the hitting will get better as the
weather gets warmer."
Due to publication time,
we were unable to report on
the Feb. 19 game vs Biola.

T HE H E A R T B EAT:
Healthy eating, is cost truly an obstacle?
B Y CURTIS BOVEE
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
A common reason why
many Americans fail to eat
healthy is because it "costs
too much."
Fortunately, healthy foods
can be as inexpensive as unhealthy foods. For a fam
ily of four to eat dinner
at McDonald's, the
total cost should they
order Big Mac meals
will be around $20 to
$25.
At the grocery store,
to feed the same family of four free range organic chicken, red peppers
and squash and a sweet potato, you're going to spend
roughly the same price, if not
less. Comparing the nutritional information per meal
at McDonald's with a soda
and fries is going to surpass
1000 calories and 50 grams
of fat. The meal at the grocery store is unquestionably
healthier, amounting to less
than 500 calories and adequate amounts of essential
vitamins and nutrients.
Although the homecooked meal is around the
same price range as McDonald's and far healthier, fast
food is always going to be
easier and arguably cheaper,
especially for under-educated individuals. Without an
understanding of how to eat
healthy, simply comparing
the cost of healthy food with
fast food and junk food is
pointless. Healthy affordable
foods include potatoes, beans
and lentils, nonfat Greek yogurt, sweet potatoes, whole
wheat pasta, canned tuna,
eggs, tofu, spinach, oats, and
frozen vegetables, among
many others.
Sadly, many people prefer fast food because of its
convenience, regardless of
associated risks. To have to
go to the grocery store and
cook dinner seems like a tedious task. Just think, when
you make that trip to the grocery store, you are burning
far more calories than sitting
in the drive-thru at McDonald's. Furthermore, numerous studies reveal that the
average family in the U.S.
spends less than an hour together per day. Importantly,
this statistic can be increased
dramatically if you plan
healthy dinners together on a
nightly basis.
If you go to the grocery
store and compare fruits
and vegetables to unhealthy
foods based on portion size,
the fruits and veggies are
lower in price overall relative to unhealthy foods. Educating yourself about portion
sizes will certainly help you
save money when eating
healthy. Buying produce that
is in-season will help tackle
these price issues.
If the cost is the
main reason people
fail to eat healthy,
their justification, is
inaccurate: according to the National
Bureau of Economic
Research, obesity raises
annual medical costs by
roughly $2,800 per person.
Even if you spent $200 more
per month to eat healthy, you
would still be saving money
by preventing obesity. In addition, recent studies have
shown that the annual cost
of obesity in thé U.S. is $190
billion, or roughly 20 percent
of total healthcare expenditures. It is no question that
cutting out fast food and junk
food will help prevent obesity-related medical expenses.
Yes, these costs of eating
unhealthy are often deferred
until later; however, this is
exactly the point. A Big-Mac
meal at McDonald's may
be cheaper initially relative
to organic whole foods, but
the costs associated with
unhealthy eating later in life
certainly aren't worth it.
The cost of unhealthy food
isn't just the price tag.

SENIOR STAFF WRITER
Of all the distinguished
restaurants on San Marcos
Blvd., few have more personality than the Old California Coffee House.
The quaint café is tucked
away next to the IHOP and
offers some of the best atmosphere found on San Marcos's own Restaurant Row.
The Coffee House is primarily a more stylish alternative to Starbucks and any of
the other more mundane cafes in the area, According to
the website, approximately
100 different drinks are offered, including coffee, tea
and smoothies.
Coffee, depending on size,
usually goes from $1.60 for
a small and $2 for a large,
while the tea is generally
under $2 Smoothies are
around $4, and most of the
Espressos cost around $3.25.
There's also a rich selection
of food, perfect for any time
of the day, including sandwiches and wraps, hot soup,
salads and even pizza.
What truly sets The Coffee
House apart from other cafes
is the quirky atmosphere. The

The primary idea behind

they have created. Members
are allotted several minutes

to only Literature and Writing majors and does not require students to bring work

�W hy Beyonce can get away v ith lip-syncing
BY JULIANA STUMPP
A & E EDITOR
On Jan. 22, Beyonce was
scheduled to sing the "Star
Spangled Banner" at President Obama's second term
Inauguration. However, it
was not scheduled for her
to lip-sync the anthem. It
is not confirmed the reason
why; Beyonce pre-recorded
the performance last minute.
Good news, her performance
during the Super Bowl halftime show showcased her
ultimate diva alter-ego and
why I think she i s the best
superstar of this generation.
I remember first hearing
Beyonce in the nineties with
the all-female R&B group,
'Destiny's Child' (as most
of us have) in middle school.
Honestly, I was too obsessed
with Hilary Duff (guilty) and
Lindsay Lohan (remember
when she barely could sing?)
to focus my attention to their
music. But I am proud to say
that my ear has learned to
appreciate good music. Their
album "Destiny Fulfilled" really caught my attention even
though it was the last album
the group made together, I
still followed Beyonce's solo
career (again, as most of us
did).
Since leaving 'Destiny's
Child', she has won 14
Grammy's and seven Billboard Music awards. She
has also become one of the
most influential musicians
of all time, and has now established herself as an actress most known for her
work in the film adaptation
of "Dreamgirls" and showing her goofy side in "Austin
Powers in Goldmember."
I really don't need to list of
all her accomplishments to
explain what an amazing and
talented person Beyonce is,
but it doesn't hurt to refresh
people's' minds. Her talent
doesn't just speak wonders
but her personality and charisma is what makes people
all over the world love her.
She always appears with
such class, grace and respect
for herself and those around
her. Let's not forget her show
of compassion when Kayne
West interrupted Taylor
Swift's acceptance speech
at the MTV Awards in 2009
and Beyonce called her back
up onstage to finish properly.
I don't know many artists
that would do that.
Simply put, Beyonce can
get away with lip-syncing
because we know her talent
is genuine. She sells out concert venues in minutes and
her albums sky rocket to the
top on iTunes. Honestly, it
seems this woman can do no
wrong (even by naming her
baby "Blue Ivy"). Beyonce
is just barely over thirty and
has a legacy that will last for
generations.

Editors' Topics: Working out
Given that our school provides a fully equipped and
assessable gym, we thought
it might be interesting to see
if students actually take advantage of it, think it's not
that great, or would prefer
to workout at home instead.
The Cougar Chronicle editors discuss their opinions of
an on campus gym.
Having a gym on campus
makes motivating myself
to go work out a lot easier.
Since I live at The Quad, it
is great to have such a close
proximity where I can walk
to and from: The fact that
all students have access to it
helps because my roommates
and I often go together, so it
allows for working out to be

another chore.

Katlin Sweeney
I have been working out at
the Clarke gym for the past
year and love it. Not only do
I take advantage of the spinning bike and ab cruncher
machines, but I also love
the Ashtanga yoga that the
Clarke provides. I enjoy it
when it is time to go to the
Clarke to do my workout, especially because it is free. If I
were to do the same workout
out in town it would cost me
a pretty penny. Plus it's conveniently on campus for us
students to take advantage of
anytime we feel so inclined.
Opinion Editor
Jessie Gambrell
I like the Clarke because
they always have awesome
events and cool classes going on like Zumba. It's just
a nice place to go to workout with friends. I love their
treadmills too because you
can plug in your iPod and
watch Netflix or Hulu Plus
on it. Plus, its free to students! It's a great deal.

How'You Only Live Once' term is
effecting the mind, body, soul
BY JESSIE GAMBRELL
O PINION E DITOR
Not sure if you are aware
of this popular acronym being used everywhere; YOLO
- You Only Live Once. It's
all the rage right now, which
makes sense since our society seems to have tendencies
to go out and do things that
may not be all that moral
or right.
They go out and do
these things just because they think that it
will be the only chance
they've got to live life
the way they want to.
Yes, we are only on
earth for a "short"
time, which can justify doing fun things
or taking up once-inlifetime
opportunities. However, being
that we only "live once,"
this does not mean that we
should go out and do things
that would otherwise be illegal or immoral.
And as I have already
seen, salesmen have already
started to use it against us. I
saw an ad the other day that

Even your friends can dangerously use it against you.
For example, someone could
say, "come drinking with us,
YOLO" or "YOLO, why not
smoke a joint with us?" See
what I mean? People who

According to Catholic belief, there are three places
where your soul can go after

those who are not quite worthy of Heaven yet; and Hell,
the place where all who reject God and accept Satan

Father Gregory Boyle is a
name that has been floating
around campus the past several weeks.
Boyle, a Jesuit Catholic
priest, is known for his dedication to the service of the
lost homeboys and homegirls
of East Los Angeles County

1992.
On Monday, Feb. 11,
Boyle came to speak to a

the event to hear the inspiring stories from Father Boyle
and to learn from his compassion and humbleness.
Father Boyle spent the
night telling stories of the

them by Father Boyle and his

Monday mornings are always a challenge, especially
during the winter. So to make these d readed mornings
a little more pleasant, this shuffle presents five tracks
that will help get over your monday-morning-blues.
" Cough Syrup" b y Young the Giant
Young the Giant is comprised of five musicians with
diverse background, all from the neighboring city of
Irvine, California, with a b and name purposely chosen
to evoke curiosity. Cough Syrup was number three in
the Top 100 Billboard Alternative Songs. Being very uplifting a nd sunny, I guarantee you will want to look up
the lyrics to sing along.
"Thrift Shop" b y Macklemore
Some might find this song vexing, but I think it's genuinely c atchy. It makes fun of those who spend too
much money on a shirt a nd e nded up dressing the
same as everyone else, among similar situations. The
quirky video is a combination of "The Fresh Prince" a nd
modern hipster, all guided by a sax sample. Macklemore has a range of tracks, some talking about
same-sex marriage a nd his struggle with addiction in
his album "The Heist."
" My Body" b y Young the Giant
There is a reason Young the Giant is listed twice, a nd
that is b ecause they are worth listening to. "My Body"
w as written a nd performed exactly for that purpose, to
j am out a nd get pumped. Some argue that Sameer
G adhia (vocalist) is talking about i ce cream, but I personally think he is referring to the Monday mornings in
which your body is immobile a nd glued to the bed.
"Ho Hey" b y The Lumineers
Although the b and left this years Grammys empty

first single from their trending self-titled album. This folkrock song is so genuinely refreshing that it will guarantee a smile on your f ace for the rest of the day. It has

"Drunk" b y Ed Sheeran
• The title basically says it all. It is a n anthem to remember (or not) the past weekend as you walk into your
GES or business law class with a much n eeded Starbucks drink in hand. Many know Ed Sheeran from the
chart-topping "The A Team," a nd you c an recognize

stumbles upon Lancaster Dodd (played by Philip Seymour Hoffman), the leader of a n organization known as
The Cause. As Quell steadily submerges himself deeper
within the group's system, his own philosophy a nd lifestyle
choices are challenged, a nd his life is forever c hanged.

As the third studio album by the highly
popular Hiiisong United, "Zion" contains

C SUSM faculty member t o present piano recital
B Y R YAN D OWNS
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
It could be said that there is
only one thing more pleasant
than a recital by a talented
and dedicated pianist, and
that is a free recital by the
very same talented and dedicated pianist. Fortunately,
CSUSM will be showcasing
the latter at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 26 in Arts 111.
Last year, CSUSM's very
own music professor, Dr.
Ching-Ming Cheng, mesmerized the school with a
fantastic showcase of her
talents, backed by a life of
extensive experience in solo
and collaborative concerts all
over the globe. Her career
has also involved multiple
teaching positions at schools
across America, ultimately
leading to her incredibly
welcome arrival at CSUSM
in the fall of 2011.
The recital is one of the
many ways Dr. Cheng's
involvement at the school
goes beyond teaching; she
also has plans to develop a
complete music department,
separate from the music and
theater department.
"We want to expand, and
take this program onto a different level," Dr. Cheng said,
mentioning how few students
at the school major in instrumental music. In fact, majors
in specific instruments, such
as piano, were not previously
available until Dr. Cheng's
arrival.
"Now that they have me,
we are trying to recruit more
music majors," she said, emphasizing the focus on piano.
She hopes the set-up can
involve one-on-one instruction, so she can have a handson interaction with students
who are interested in piano
and other music.
Dr. Cheng hopes to get a
music department up and
running at the school at least
by the next semester, but she
believes the primary obstacle to this goal is the fact
that students who may be
interested may not be aware
of her efforts. She hopes the
recital can raise awareness of
what she is trying to do, and
hopefully draw students who
may be interested in becom-
ing music majors and helping to establish a department
on campus.
As for the concert itself, Dr.
Cheng enjoys playing music
from several major historical musicians in chronological order, beginning with
the seventeenth century and
moving to modern day, in a
show that will cover music
from Chopin, Beethoven,
Rachmaninoff, and Brusoni.
"He actually arranged a
piece written by Bach," she
said excitedly of Brusoni,
the most modern of the featured musicians, "so it kind
of brings it full circle."
The recital will go for
about ninety minutes, and, of
course, it is free.

"Arrested Development"
Must Watch Episode: Season 2, Episode 3: Amigos!
The most original and underrated comedy of all time,
"Arrested Development" is
a show that aired on the Fox
network for only three seasons. The show is so unique
because of the diverse and
quirky characters as well as
outrageous storylines. Jason Bateman plays Michael
Bluth, the lead character that
takes charge
of his family and their
mini mansion
company
when his father George
Mie h a el
Sr. (played
by
Jeffrey
Tambor) is
i mprisoned
for
"creative accounting." During the process of
the investigation, the rest
of the Bluths' moves into
a model home. In addition
to being the single father of
George Michael (played by
Michael Cera),
he is responsible for his
two immature
brothers Gob
(played by Will
Arnett)
and
Buster (played
by Tony Hale).
His twin sister
Lindsay
(played by Portia de Rossi)
and her family,
aspiring actor Tobias Funke
(played by David Cross) and
scandalous teenage daughter
(played by Alia Shawkat)
also take residency there. To
complete this talented cast
is Jessica Walter who plays
the vain and self obsessed
Lucille Bluth, mother of the
Bluths. Ron Howard offers
his voice as the narrator who
offers the sarcastic and witty
tone. In spring 2013, Netflix
will reboot the series with
brand new episodes.
'Take Me Home Tonight"
£ *£*£'•;/5
Set in the late '80s, the film
follows the protagonist Matt
Franklin (played by "That
70's Show" Topher Grace)
in a coming of age tale featuring similar struggles that
many of us might face after
we graduate
college. After
graduating
from MIT,
Matt moved
back home
and
works
at a movie
rental place
; in the mall to
much of his
father's dissatisfaction.
While at the
video store with his twin sister Wendy (played by Anna
Faris), Matt runs into his high
school crush Tori Frederking
(played by Teresa Palmer).
Meanwhile, Matt's best
friend Barry
(played by Dan
Fogler) is fired
from his job at
a car dealership. With Matt
and Barry being down on
their luck, the
two
friends
crash Wendy's
boyfriend's Labor Day party.
Throughout
this crazy night the group
discover themselves and are
given hope for the future. A
hilarious and encouraging
film for college students everywhere.

CSUSM Closing?
Registration continues as campus and state officials
deny reports that newest Cal State campus will close
LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER
On the day many Cal State San
Marcos students received their registration packets for fall 1992 enrollment, they were greeted by the uneasy
prospect that their campus could be
eliminated from the CSU system.
An article in Wednesday's Los
Angeles Times reported that CSU
Chancellor Barry Munitz told members of Sacramento's Comstock Club
that, faced with legislative budget cuts,
the CSU will be forced to close
campuses. The article specifically
named CSUSM as "in jeopardy" of
closure.
Although Munitz could not be
reached for comment, Max
Benavidez, a spokesman for the CSU,
denied allegations that CSUSM could
be shut down.
"I talked to the chancellor Monday
on the telephone and he was very
supportive (of CSUSM). I don't see
him crumbling a bit," CSUSM
President Bill Stacy said.
Stacy said that, in light of that
phone conversation, he was shocked
and surprised by the headlines in
Wednesday's Los Angeles Times. He
added that the chancellor gave no
indication that campus closure was
forthcoming.
According to Stacy, the
chancellor's concerns revolved
around the construction schedule at
CSUSM. In the event that Proposition
153 does not pass, campus construction could be "in jeopardy** and delayed for as much as two years. The
$900 million bond act would allocate
funds to public institutions of higher
education throughout California.
Because CSUSM is still in its
construction phase, it would be the
most severely affected by the failure
of Prop. 153. Stacy said that the Los
Angeles Times reporter incorrectly
interpreted the chancellor's statement
as meaning the campus might close.
Benavidez said if the CSU is shortchanged in the upcoming legislative
budget, Prop. 153 fails in the June
election, and student fees do not rise
by 40 percent, then 20,000 students
— a population of comparable to that
of a single campus—might be denied
admission to CSU schools.
"Ifall three occur," said Benavidez,
"we may actually have to close down
a campus. It is doubtful that it would
be CSUSM."
The spokesman said that the
chancellor is still committed to the
expansion of CSUSM and would actually like a speed-up of building if at
all possible.
In September, Munitz indicated
that he would like to see construction
at the Twin Oaks Valley Road site
accelerated to accommodate overflow
from other CSU schools.
"Because it*s new, because its
needs are so great... this (campus)
has to be a priority for the state,"
Munitz told reporters.
Even though officials deny that
CSUSM might be closed, the Los
Angeles Times article sparked concerns and reactions in community
leaders, staff and students.
"All this smoke has caused lots of
anxiety," Stacy said.
On the day the article appeared in
newsstands, a prestigious faculty
member from Pennsylvania State
University was visiting the campus
and assessing job opportunities at
CSUSM. Stacy said the professor
showed confusion over the future of
the university.
Barbara Davis, who served as
secretary to the president when the
article was published, said that a
number of students dropped by the
office to voice their reactions.
"Anger was prevalent and real
concern," Davis said. "People seemed
to be galvanized into action."
Davis said students voiced "real
opposition" to the statementand were
ready to respond.

International flair sets tone for
first commencement ceremony
JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
The first commencement for Cal
State San Marcos is scheduled for
May 23 in a setting that reflects a
campus of the 21st century.
Beginning at 1 p.m., the graduation
ceremony has a touch of international
flair mixed in with traditional elements. Betty Huff who heads the organizational committee, said the students have opted for a more traditional ceremony, even to the point of
requesting "Pomp andCircumstance"
being performed during the processional.
"They (the students) wanted the
program to represent the occasion,"
Huff said. "It will have a sense of the
international feel of the campus, but
not like the International Festival"
Dr. Komla Amaoku, a master African drummer and CSUSM instructor, will open commencement Henry
Rodriquez, an elder with the Luisefio
Indian Tribe, will close. The CSUSM
student Andean Ensemble will perform before the ceremony begins.
Huff said about 100 students will
receive their Bachelors degree and 50
others will be recognized for completing the teacher credential program.
Also, "Students with honors will be
recognized," she said.
As part of the program, estimated
to last a little more than an hour, there
will be time to introduce special guests.
'There will be special recognition
of people who have contributed to the
university," Huff said. 'This will be a
unique one because there will be a
little more introduction because it*s
the first one."
The ceremony will take place at
the Twin Oaks campus, still under
construction. The main driveway and
turn-around, where the event will take
place, is completed and landscaped.
Originally, the committee had planned
to seat the graduates on the main
stairway, but, "They informed me that
thePlaza Stairs will not be completed."
Huff said.
Huff said that parking is limited,
since construction on the parking lots
have not yet been started. She advises
guests to car pool.

A.S. President-electLaura Mitchell
said she discussed the article with
staff members and wasn't worried
that the campus would not exist in
fall.
"Any student who read the story
would know we weren'tclosing," she
said.
According to Mitchell, panic was
avoided by extensivecommunication
between Stacy and staff members. On
the morning of the article, Stacy sent
an electronic message over campus
computers to stifle fears of CSUSM's
closure.
Mitchell said the faculty and administration then communicated
Stacy's message to students.
Future CSUSM students, however,
didn'tshare the same degreeofaccess.
Davis said one student from San
Marcos High School was concerned
that the campus would not be around
in a few years.
Former A.S. Council member Traci
Barnhill, who took this semester off
to have a baby, said she didn't know
whether or not tore-apply to CSUSM.
She said she was concerned that the
campus would not be there.
San Marcos Mayor Lee Thibadeau
said he wasn't too worried over the
article's implications, but received a
number ofcalls from people who were.
San Marcos's Heart of the City zoning plan revolves around the construction of the university.
"Having been involved (in
CSUSM's development) from the
beginning, I wasn't real concerned
that it would be closed. I was anxious
to get aresponse however," Thibadeau
said.
He said he talked to the
Chancellor's Office on Wednesday
and was assured that the article reflected a misinterpretation of Munitz's
words. Thibadeau said the chancellor
used CSUSM as an example should
Prop 153 fail.
Some campus officials speculated
that, through his statement, the chancellor may have been trying to shock
the people of San Diego into voting
'yes' on Prop. 153. Since the San
Diego constituency voted down the
previous higher education proposition,
some viewed the chancellor's words
as a warning on the next ballot initiative.
"I don't think he deliberately sent
out a message to spank San Diego or
San Marcos," Stacy said. He said the
chancellor was expressing how desperately the CSU needs additional
funding.
Last week California Governor
Pete Wilson called for a $4 billion cut
in the state budget Such a cut could
take as much as $300million from the
CSU. Last year's $ 198 million budget
cuts in the CSU caused dramatic
cutbacks in class offerings and staff
layoffs through 19 of the system's 20
campuses.
Stacy said that CSUSM is requesting a $22 million dollar budget
from the Chancellor's Office. He said
' a reduction of funds to the CSU could
cut the campus's operations budget to
$17.8 million.
The university also relies on the
passing of Prop 153 to furnish the
permanent campus. If passed, Prop
153 would funnel $27 million to
CSUSM for construction, equipment
and furnishings.
"We've begun to pre-order equipment based on thebond issue passing,"
Stacy said. "We have three buildings
non-furnished or equipped. There's
not a stick of furniture in those
buildings."

Antibiotic use is no secret
I don't normally read Dear Abby
or get much chance these days of
ready the paper at all. However, recently there was small piece in the
Dear Abby column that I feel needs a
response and is of interest to collegeage patients.
The column implied that medical
professionals are intentionally keep
"a well-kept secret from their patients." The supposed secret is that
antibiotics decrease the effectiveness
of oral contraceptives and cause a
significant number of unwanted
pregnancies.
To begin with, oral contraceptives
are not perfect It is important to realize the pregnancies can occasionally
occur even though the patient has
taken all of her pills on schedule. The
lowest expected first-year reported
failure rate is 0.1 percent. In fact, it is
probably closer to 3 percent Many
different factors go into the 3 percent
range. These are primarily related to
compliance in pill taking.
In my research of the subject,
studies only indicate one antibiotic
that definitely interferes with contraceptive effectiveness. It is called
HEALTHNOTES
BY D R. J OEL G RINOLDS,
? M.D.
Rifampin and is primarily used to
treat tuberculosis.
There have been questions about
two other classes of antibiotics that
women frequently take/Penicillin
class drugs (like ampicillin) and tetracycline class drugs are thought by
some to interfere with contraceptives;
however, in studies, no interference
was detected and no pregnancies occurred.
A recent study in 1991 looked at
Doxycycline, a frequently used tetracycline, and found no interference.
The authors state that "pregnancies
attribute to interaction of oral contraceptives and tetracyclines are actually due to othejeauses or represent
a rare idiosyncratic response in individual women."
In my experience many women
take tetracycline for acne and oral
contraceptive at the same time and
have no increaserateof pregnancy.
I further discussed with Dr.
Michael Kettle, assistant professor at
the University of California, San Di. ego in the Department of Reproductive Endocrinology. His expertise is
in the areas of hormonal problems in
females and is an expert in the use of
oral contraceptives. He verified the
information I found and stated that
except for Rifampin, he issues no
special precautions to women who
are on other antibiotics.
As in the case with any medical
problem or treatment, individuals
should discuss medication interaction
with their personal medical provider
and determine for themselves their
course of action. If there is doubt in
your mind if this specific case, the use
of a back-up barrier method contraceptive during antibiotic use is always
appropriate.
Have a happy and healthy summer.

went too far
When Thomas Jefferson worked on
building a government for this newly formed
nation, his support of afreepress for a free
society was resolute.
"If I could choose between a government
without the press and the press without a
government, I would choose the latter,"
Jefferson said.
He envisioned the press as a kind of
watchdog unit and the primary source of

San Marcos isn't a college town — yet
The city of San Marcos fought against other
North County cities to win the honor of having
the newest Cal State campus built here; it is
obvious from talking with any city or civic
member within this community that they take
pride in the new university that is now being
built in the heart of San Marcos.
But those same happy people should have
checked with the residents of San Marcos, because over the past year, they have been fighting
their own battle of trying to keep every other
development out of the city.
From new businesses to an array of housing
projects, residents have blasted everything that
comes before the City Council. Most of the
proposals are legitimate and necessary to prepare
San Marcos for the student population it will
have in several years — 35,000fromCSUSM
alone in 2010—but the residents denounce the
projects saying they will bring crime, gang
violence and reduce property value.
Just last week, the San Marcos City Council
approved a low- to moderate-income housing
development The council members were met
with an onslaught of protestsfromthe neighboring residents in a seniors-only mobile homes
park. One resident was even quoted as saying,
"We do not need an incubator for future gang
members in our backyard."
The San Marcos Planning Commission gave
its unanimous approval to the project last year,
but not without the same battle with neighboring residents. "We are not against young
people, all we are asking is that what we worked
for all our lives not be taken away," a resident
said then.
Wait Businesses do not advocate crime or

COLUMNIST
sell drugs; they provide services, merchandise
and tax revenues for the city. New homes, too,
do not house gang lords or noisy maniacs; they
provide a residence for families, working singles
and aspiring students.
The record shows that low- and moderatehousing projects, if planned properly, do not
attribute to the crime statistics any more than the
seniors that are complaining do. Those residents
and the majority of San Marcos are wrongfully
stereotyping students.
The same complaints — crime, gangs,
property value — hurt a Single Resident Occupancy development last November. The objecting citizens recited their dissatisfaction
verbatim — crime, gangs, property value.
Yet the SRO developer has reports of successful projects completed and run by his firm.
In addition, the project proposed for San Marcos included larger rooms, stricter rules and
better supervision. This housing was ideal for
students who wanted a place to call home and
not live in the stuffy dorms on campus.
"We're using an upgrade SRO concept These
are no seedy, small rooms but luxury studios for
one or two people," said David Hadjesfromthe
Argento Group, the consultingfirmrepresenting the landowner. 'There is a real need in our
community for affordable housing. This in not
going to be a flop house." Hadjes said the people
who will qualify for this type of housing are
seniors, police and fire professionals, bank
tellers, waiters/waitresses as well as college
students.
Now, however, the SRO project has been
changed to a senior complex. It will attract more
of the same people to the area who do not want
what is coming — students.
San Marcos residents must realize they are in
a college town. Half the population in 10 to 20
years will either be enrolled or working at
CSUSM. A large portion will also be attending
Palomar Community College,justminutesaway.
Their enrollment is projected at 65,000 within
the next IS years, according to Public Information officials.
The senior citizens, therichand the snobby
people in San Marcos will be out numbered. But
if something is not done now, there will be a
housing problem later.
Trust the City Council. They have developed
a master-planned zoning around the university
to deal with the housing, traffic and relationship
between the campus and local community. The
city must incorporate low- and moderate-income
housing now, to coincide with the campus*
growth and prepare for the future.
Stop your stereotyping. Stop your whining.
There is a fantastic new creation in town called
a university and everyone can benefitfromit if
everyone works together to build not a college
community for the 21st century.
EDITORIAL
information in a governmental structure
where knowledge is vital to public enlightenment From this kind of envisionment by
the founding fathers, the First Amendment
of the Constitution was born.
No one who supports the idealisms of the
American system of government refutes the
notion that a free press stands as a vital
establishment for public enlightenment But
sometimes the inherent power of the free
press has negative results.
In its zeal to inform the American public
on breaking and active news, the press
oftentimes creates or augments societal ailments.
The coverage of last week's tragicriotsin
Los Angeles illustrates how the press's influence propagated, rather than alleviated a
problem. Looters saw first-hand, at any hour
of the day or night, which businesses were
unprotected by police forces and open for
ransacking.
While television newscasters stated, "It
may be hours before police are able to arrive
and secure the grocery store," hundreds of
starving families in the area seized the opportunity to take what was readily needed
and available to them.
As a result, bands of looting "thugs" were
joinedby mothers, children and elderlypeople
who seized the opportunity to lift diapers and
foodfromthe market Representatives from
all demographic groups participated in the
looting of businesses simply because the
press gave them the green light to do so.
The press, fueled by public appeal,
broadcasted every aspect of theriotsand
were rewarded by healthy viewerships.
Certainly the people of L.A. had therightto
know what tragedies were occurring in their
city, but the press went too far in its coverage
of events.
The United States is the only nation in the
world which televises riots in progress. If
television stations are afforded the opportunity to cover another outbreak similar to last
week's, let's hope they exercise more sensitivity and common sense.

A THOUGHT;
"Upon the weak the strong ones
prey. In human life, it's all so true,
the strong will try to conquer you.
And that is what you must expect,
unless you use your intellect."
from THE SWORD IN THE STONE
If our elementary and secondary educational
systems were human they would be in the Intensive Care Unit dying from coronary heart
disease. The educational system of today is like
a plugged artery filled with plaque. The plaque
which blocks the educational system are wasteful
spending, bureaucracy, and inefficient instruction of children in public schools.
The cure to this disease is a transplant from
the current educational system to a school
voucher system where parents can choose which
schools (public or private, religious or nonreligious) they want their child or children to
attend. There are many benefits which the school
voucher system presents to American society.
The first benefit is social because, with a
school voucher system, the following could and
would occur.
First, poor people could afford to attend most
private schools if they choose to do so. Secondly,
minorities and poor whites would be empowered
to escape the inferior public schools of the inner
cities which are falling apart and filled with
violence. Thirdly, the school voucher system
would create an integration of socio-economic
groups as well as ethnic and racial groups in
public and private schools that the public schools
have failed to do with forced integration of
schools in the 1970s and the magnet schools of
the 1980s.
Besides social benefits, there are numerous
educational goods to the school voucher system.
One thing a school voucher system might do is
force public school educators to abandon failing
child-centered, progressive educational theories,
and force them back to the basics in education
and discipline, which propelled America to have
the best educational system in the world in the
1950s and 1960s.
In addition, schools might get back to the
principle of teaching the 3Rs — reading, writing and arithmetic — instead of distributing
condoms on the high school campuses and
acting as a health clinic.
Jim Downs, a retired public high school
teacher, stated in his Blade-Citizen commentary
that, "I was surprised to note again and again
over the years that students coming out of St.
Francis Catholic School in Vista, where there is
no gifted program, knew more American History than those coming out of the Lincoln Middle
School gifted program. Moreover, they (the St.
Francis students)had superior expository writing
skills."
In addition to the educational benefits, there
are multitudinous economic advantages in
having a school voucher system. First, the current
school choice initiative would give $5,200 to
public schools per student (the current outlay
per student) and give a $2,600 voucher to a
parent who decides to enroll his or her child in
a private school. Thus, if parents choose to use
a voucher for private schools, then the state of
California would save $2,600 per child who
went to private school and the money saved
could be used towards the staters fiscal or social

problems or refund it back to the citizens.
Secondly, it California had a school voucher
system, the state would not need to build as
many schools because the private sector
(schools) would lessen the load on public schools,
and the private sector (schools) would develop
new schools as the demand for them increased;
thus saving the state tens of millions of dollars
in capital construction costs of schools.
Thirdly* why should public schools hold a
monopoly when they are doing an insufficient
job in educating our youth, and when the federal
government prohibits monopolies (i.e. The
Shaman Anti-Trust Act) except in utility ánd
other specialized industries.'
Finally, why should California taxpayers
have to pay twice if they choose to enroll their
child or children in private schools, especially
when public schools offer an inferior education
compared to private schools.
I call upon the faculty, students and staff at
CSU San Marcos to support an elementary and
secondary school voucher system in the state of
California.

Student apathy scolding
is reprehensible action
I am responding to the notion that CSUSM
students aré apathetic to the growing pains of
this university. Your staff editorial (April 21)
states, "If the administration and founding faculty
could start all over, the would probably proceed
. . . minus one factor — the current apathetic
student population.** This statement and your
scolding is reprehensible. Yes, this university
could benefit from a more active student
population. However, it is imperative to understand the demographic make-up of the current student population before judgement is
passed.
A large number of students are older and
returning to college for the umpteenth time.
Many students are married and more than a few
have children. Some are single parents. Home
mortgages are not out of the ordinary. Jobs are
a given. Furthermore, I would venture to say
that this may be the last opportunity for many
students to earn a degree. Graduating will be a
miracle! We are not freshman-age youngsters
riding on the backs of supportive parents, ignorant and bliss to the realities of life. We are
hardened individuals that need to graduate as
soon as possible. If feasible, we will help guide
ad mold this university. However, don't condemn
us if we are unable to contribute in a fashion you
deemfit.So lighten up Pioneer! This university
will survive. Student governmentandeverything
else associated with it will flourish when the
demographics shift to a more traditional makeup.

T aintbair sport does
require skill, experience
This letter is in response to Jonathan Young' s
articles about Paint Pellet Pursuit, more commonly called Paintball. I have been playing the
sport forfiveyears, own all my own equipment,
and have played at all the San Diego fields.
The two articles that Mr. Young wrote were
positive in nature, which contrast much of the
press. His first article, entitled "Despite public
opinion, war-like game creates an adult-version
of playing tag," was a good overview of the
sport
But I disagree strongly with Mr. Young's
article, "Forget skill, experiences; winning a
game is all luck." As an experienced player, I
have the advantage of understanding how the
guns work, and that understanding allows me to
work the guns efficiently and aim the guns with
accuracy.
Besides understanding how the guns work,
skill and experience do help. I have learned to be
patient and control my fear, reacting in a controlled fashion byfiringback and seeking cover.
Patience keeps experienced players from rushing into situations where they may be eliminated
quickly without accomplishing their goal.
Strategy is also an important element. It is
developed with knowledge gained after each
time played, its equipment, terrain, and action
of the other players. I think experience and skill
are helpful in winning and enjoying the game of
paintball.

DEBBIE PUFFY/PIONEER
A shot in the dark. A scream. The
smell of smoke. Who killed whom?
Every element contained in a
murder mystery can be experienced
in the "Boardwalk Melody Hour
Murder" at the Mystery Café. The
audience tries to identify the victims,
Jie murderers, and the witnesses in
bis theatrical whodunit, butthey must
be quick to catch the clues.
Set at the "Imperial Ballroom" in
Atlantic City in the year 1932, the
'Broadway Melody Hour Murders"
invites its guests to dine and enjoy a
full evening of sleuthing entertainment
Throughout the entire performance, the characters interact with
ihe audience. One parson in the aulience has to point the gun at a murder
suspect for the "G" man. Another
person is asked to watch the baby
carriage for Mrs. Bambino.
In between the acts, the characters
serve the meal, but they also whisper
¿lues to anyone asking, and they will
also sit and chat with a group of "detectives." Everyone viewing the play
must grasp as many clues as possible
in order to solve the mystery. Even
Dribery is accepted (everyone gets
Monopoly money for bribes).
All the actors perform excellently.
Particularly superb is Queenie 'Mad
Woman* Malone (Diane Thrasher).

Dive into (lining enjoyment
exclusive to Sand Crab Café
There's a kind of primitive joy
associated with dining at the Sand
Crab Cafe. At this unique restaurant
in Escondido, the delight that comes
with rolling your sleeves up and digging intoapileof oceanic treats offers
diners the opportunity to cast all formal dining styles to the tides.
Although Emily Post might object
to the Sand Crab's offbeat practice of
serving shellfish without the luxuries
of silverware or plates, the tasty fare
at this small hideaway far outsails its
unusual etiquette.
For its seafood specials, servers at
the Sand Crab cover their tables with
sheets of white papa*. A roll of paper
towels is discretely placed on each
table, to be used as napkins while
dining. Each customer is given a small
mallet and a pounding block to break
the shells of crab legs.
Food servers then dump a bucket
of seafood specialties directly onto
the table itself for diners to grab and
devour at their discretion. This style \
of serving bears intimate resemblance
to a New England clambake or

Louisiana crawfish feast
I ordered the Fisherman's Sampler
and was pleasantly surprised at its
wide variety of delectablesfromthe
depths. The selection contained
shrimp, clams, snow crab clusters,
crawfish, New Zealand mussels, stone
crab claws, a small lobster tail, sausage, new potato wedges, corn-onthe-cob and sourdough bread.
The entire oceanic entourage is
boiled to perfection in a broth of savory spices. Be aware that the shrimp,
crawfish, clams and mussels are
served au natural, so delicate peeling
and digging is required.
With the mallets and pounding
block, the Sand Crab gives customers
the ability to exercise the primitive
urge to pound something. I found the
little wooden implements to be most
efficacious for crunching the heck out
of thebothersomeshells that surround
the delectable meat of crab legs. I
discovered that a supple snapping of
the wrist is the most effective technique in wielding the instruments.
Diners are given small containers
of melted butter, cocktail sauce and
honey-mustard sauce for dipping.
Apart from the seafood in the
Fisherman's Sampler, I found the
pieces sausage a welcome and slightly
spicy addition to the meal. The small
morsels will make your tastebuds
swim in delight
For those who don't care for seafood, the Sand Crab has a lunch menu
filled with hamburgers and sandwiches. Spaghetti and dinner salads
also grace the menu for non-seafood
lovers.
For dessert, I indulged in the Key
lime pie, a tangy and creamy treat
which perfectly topped the meal. The
café also offers Snickers cheese cake,
an unusual hybrid of the candy bar
and the post-dinner classic.

Center opens book on bilingual learning
R ICHARD BEETH/PIONEER
The Center for the Study of Books in Spanish
for Children and Adolescents endeavors to reach
out and assist organizations interested in meeting
the needs of young Spanish speaking readers.
As a resource aid, the center collects books in
Spanish for children and adolescents which are
published worldwide. Educators with the job of
purchasing Spanish language books for their
schools can travel to the center to see the books
first hand and to obtain advice on which ones
best meet their needs.
People travel great distances to see the Center
because it's the only one of its kind in the world.
Its story is interwoven with that of Dr. Isabel
Schon, its founder and director.
Schon started the center last year because she
felt a need to bring reading materials to Spanish
speaking children.
"If you can teach children to become critical
readers, youcan teach them to become critical
thinkers," she says.
One of Schon's missions for the center is to
lower the 60 percent dropout rate for Latinos in
the United States. The Center is part of her
method for achieving this goal and represents
the culmination of years of work in thefieldof
education.
According to Schon, Spanish speaking immigrants have existed at the "sink or swim"
level in American education. If children learned
to speak English as if they were "immersed" in
it, they had a chance at an education. If they
didn't learn, they started to "sink" and fell
behind.
Schon says that four generations of a 60
percent dropout rate attests to the lack of success
of this traditionally held method.
Research shows that if children can learn to
read in their native language first, they can
transfer to English successfully in about three
years.
There are many common sense reasons for
this rationale. Children that have grown up in a
Spanish-speaking environment find it easier to
learn to read in that language. Parents who
speak Spanish can also help their children with
lessons, giving the children a feeling of success.
Schon says this feeling encourages students
to feel better about themselves and thus be more
- comfortable in school. Schon says a heightened
sense of identity and self-worth is one of the
keys to transferring from one language to another
successfully. She stresses that a good bilingual
program teaches culture and history along with
language.
There are also cultural reasons why Spanish
speaking children may not have the love for
reading that most English speaking children do.
One reason, in Mexico for example, is that
libraries are rare throughout the country. The
city of Tijuana, for instance, has a population
over one million but has no libraries. Mexican
' public primary schools have tio libraries and-
New program addresses children's needs
A new statewide Center for Collaboration
for Children, dedicated to enhancing the
relationships among children, families, education and social services, will be established at California State University, Fullerton, CSU Chancellor Barry Munitz announced Oct. 10.
Funded in part from a $100,000 allocationfromthe Chancellor's lottery funds plus
grants from the Arco Foundation and Annie
E. Casey Foundation, the new Center will
operate under Dr. Mary Kay Tetreault,
CSUF's dean of the School of Human Development and Community Service. Sidney
Gardner will be the Center's director.
"There's a genuine need for a center to
address the needs of California's 7.8 million
children," Tetreault said. "We need to build
new bridges across the walls dividing academic and community groups to concentrate
on the whole child."
Goals of the Center include:
• Strengthening the role the CSU plays
in educating and graduating thousands of
teachers, social workers, counselors and
health and human services professionals.
• Working with faculty statewide to review theCSUcurriculum in education, health
and human services to assess how well it
provides professionals with the skills needed
to collaborate with professionals from other
children-related disciplines.
• Restructuring children's services and
public education in a way that would lead to
libraries in high schools are a relatively recent
development
Although the Mexican government has a
plantohave libraries in primary grades by 1994,
economic conditions may delay this.
Another reason for the lack ofreading among
Spanish speaking children is that many of the
books written for children in Spanish lack interest.
"Approximately 70 percent of books written
in Spanish for children are 'moralist* In other
words they teach 4how to be good'" says Schon.
"Many children don't grow up with a love for
reading because so many of the books are boring
and don't excite them."
With the burgeoning population of Spanish
speaking people in the United States, and especially Southern California, many schools have
foundthemselveswiththedifficulttaskofhaving
to stock libraries and classrooms with books in
Spanish.
The book center is becoming widely known
and publishers world-wide are anxious to send
books there because of the great exposure they
receive. •

new internships and programs placing students in settings where children and families
are served holistically.
• Incorporating models of multicultural
collaboration in ways that promote unity
rather than divide groups across racial and
ethnic boundaries.
• Providing in-service education and
other community services^hat encourage
public and private agencies to work together
rather than along lines that fragment and
sepárate the efforts of schools and other
children's services agencies.
• Conducting program and policy research to document what schools and state
and local governments have done and could
do to address the needs of children who are at
risk of failure.
The Center will be established immediately. Several CSU campuses will be involved in the system-wide program. The
CSU graduates some 10,000 students per
year in the children-services areas such as
education, social work, child development,
nursing and recreation.
"For too long schools have gone one way
and social service agencies have gone another," Munitz said. "This center will establish a multi-service approach to serving
children. California's children are the future
of CSU and the future of the state. We cannot
ignore their needs or those of their families.
We do that at the risk of failing our duty as
educators."
The center has collected nearly every book
written in Spanish for children that has been
published since 1989. Recently, a single shipment from Madrid brought 3,000 more copies.
Schon has been a consultant on bilingual/
bicultiiral educational materials to schools, libraries and ministries of education in Mexico,
Columbia, Guatemala, Argentina, Venezuela,
Chile, Spain, Italy, Ecuador and the United
States. She has received several national and
international a wards including the 1987
Women's National Book Award.
Along with conducting seminars and workshops for librarians and other educators, Schon
also works with area businesses and hospitals.
She has worked with nurses at Children's
Hospital, selecting books for Spanish speaking
children who stay there.
Another important function of thebook center
is to host an annual conference. The conference
will highlight significant issues concerning
reading and books for and about Hispanic/Latino
young readers. The conference will be held in
October of every year and will tie in with

CSUSM expands global
commitment to Africa
L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER
Seeking to fulfill its Mission Statement of global understanding, Cal
State San Marcos, last week, sent a
delegation of administrators and
faculty to the country of Ghana.
The travelers, Dr. Dorothy Lloyd*
assistant dean of Education, Dr. Richard Millman, academic vice president and Dr. Komla Imoaku, professor of Fine Arts, l eft f or the African
country to exchange ideas and establish ties with the university there.
"We are discovering ways to implement our global society ambitions," said CSUSM President Bill
Stacy/'Students and faculty will have
to learn to be global citizens."
Stacy said that each individual
chosen for the mission represents a
different faction of the educational
process. Lloyd will seek methods of
helping Ghana mold teachers. Millman will concentrate on areas of the
curriculum relating to mathematics
and science, while Imoaku will share
his knowledge of art with African instructors.
Stacy said the the process of interaction is one of two-way dialogue.
The three delegates will not only
share their expertise, they will learn
from the perceptions and knowledge
of the Ghana educational system.
"We want to make international
communication relatively commonplace at San Marcos," said Stacy.
'We want to make international
communication relatively commonplace
at San Marcos.'
B ILL S TACY, C SUSM P RESIDENT
He indicated that many faculty
members already have traveled
throughout the world and share their
observations with other instructors.
In the future Stacy hopes to continue projects, such as the mission to
Ghana, by sending professors and
administrators around.the world in
search of new educational ideas and
heightened global understanding. He
hopes to strengthen ties with universities in Mexico, Canada, Japan,
China and Europe.
Stacy said he looks forward to the
day in the not-too-distant future when
he can send students abroad as well
as faculty in an exchange program
setting.
CSUSM also hopes to gain international perspectives by becoming a
point of visitation for universities
world-wide.
This week an Anglican faculty
delegation from Cambridge University will visit the campus to learn of
the country's newest facility for
higher education.
Potentially CSUSM might o ffer
parallel courses to those taught at
Cambridge or other universities
around the world. Stacy said missions like the Ghana trip and the
Anglican visit serve as a vehicle to
bring in course ideas that might have
alluded the university.
; With the introduction of a stateof-the-art phone system at the Twin
Oaks Valley Road permanent campus site next year, Stacy said the
interchange of ideas between countries will b e facilitated. The system
will allow instantaneous audio-visual communications between universities around the world.
" We can establish a dialogue here
at CSUSM about w hat's happening
elsewhere," Stacy said. "Being there
(in Ghana) today is concrete proof
that this institution is serious about
global awareness."
Stacy was originally slated to go
to Ghana, but do the visit f rom the
Anglican delegation and other pressing university matters he chose to
stay in San Marcos.
" I d idn't go because of lack of
interest, things just needed to be done
at this institution," Stacy said.
Former instructor to read from newest novel
REGIWA JOHN/PIONEER
Former Cal State San Marcos English professor and published fiction
author Duff Brenna will read selections from his new book Wednesday
at 12:30 in the Student Lounge.
The widely published author has
won several national awards for his
short stories and poetry. Hisfirstnovel,
"The Book of Mamie', won much
critical acclaim and the Associated
Writing Programs Writing Award for
best novel in 1988. Brenna also received a National Endowment for the
Arts Fellowship in 1990.
Brenna's new book, 'In Another
Part of Heaven', addresses the loss of
innocence imposed on children by
adults. The theme is a recurring one in
Brenna's books.
"It is something I keep coming
back to," Brenna says, ''because I find
DUFFBRENNA/AUTHOR
it so disturbing. Children have to find
out that i t's a nasty world out there
soon enough."
Brenna says he feels that children
should be allowed their few years of
innocence. He has no understanding
for parents who raise their children in
a toxic environment of their making.
He says that children can still triumph o ver d ifficult upbringings
without turning into prostitutes and
m urderers. ' In A nother P art of
Heaven' i soneof hope for children as
is ' The Book of Mamie'.
In July of this year, Brenna sold the
movie rights for ' Mamie' to JTK
Productions of Canada and was hired
to write the movie's screenplay. This
finished, he spent time in Wisconsin
scouting for possible movie locations.
Jim Kaufman, owner of JTK Productions is due to arrive in California
shortly to begin movie preparations.
He is currentlyfinishinganother film.

nation's greatest athletes announced he has the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
Shortly after discovering that he was afflicted with HIV,
the virus that causes AIDS, Magic Johnson announced his
immediate retirement from the National Basketball Association. Unlike the vast majority of prominent AIDS victims,
Johnson contracted the deadly virus through heterosexual
contact
According to statisticsfromthe Center for Disease Control
(CDC), almost 91 percent of adult men who have been
diagnosed with AIDS through September 1991 became infected
by having sex with other men or through the use of intravenous
drugs.
Johnson represents only 3 percent of those males who have
contracted the virus through heterosexual contact
Before the heterosexual population climbs atop its soapbox
and claims that these statistics support their claim, is is
important to note that 34 percent of all female AIDS patients
contracted the disease through heterosexual contact
AIDS is a nondiscriminatory disease. We have seen it take
the life from children,friendsand loved ones. Since there is no
known cure for the disease, it is up to each of us to take steps
in preventing the spread of AIDS to the best of our abilities.
With the integrity and courage he has shown on the
basketball court, Johnson pleads to us all to take preventative
measures in stemming the tide of one of the nation's most
feared and deadly disease's.
Johnson's recommendation of safe sex is not a new one.
But now that one of the nation's true heroes has learned that
casual sexual contact can be deadly, it is a recommendation
worthy of further consideration.
Johnson brought a magic to the basketball court that few,
if any athletes, have been able to match. Out of respect for his
courage and integrity, we can all help Johnson bring that
magic to the fight against AIDS.

Basic courses essential at CSUSM
Finding an identity at Cal State San Marcos is a dilemma that
faces many students. Since the university is composed only of
commuter students, there are no dormitories or Greek organizations to keep pupils at its shopping center site.
Compounding the problem is the fact that many CSUSM
students are forced to travel outside of the campus to fulfill basic
lower-division classwork. Most of those students go to Palomar
or Mira Costa only by default
As a result a type of schizophrenia has developed with
students who are both CSUSM students and attendees of local
community colleges. A complete sense of identity is denied them
by their university of choice.
Since CSUSM offers only upper-division coursework, such a
situation is understandable. At this stage ofdevelopment, CSUSM
does not have the faculty or monetary support to accommodate
those extra courses.
But, at a university where each student is required to write a
minimum of2,500 words per-semester, per-class, it is absolutely
essential that some elementary coursework be offered.
CSUSM population demographics suggest that many students in attendance are returning from scholastic absence. For
some of those students a basic English, mathematics or science
course might have been fulfilled 10 years ago.
How can a university require students to readily assimilate
upper-division classwork with such a gap without presenting
some mode of refreshment?
Instructors have shared disappointment that student proficiency in writing competency is below upper-division competency. But when students have to wait three or four semesters to
get their basic English composition classes at Palomar, some
CSUSM .students might not havebeen able to, as of yet, meet

some CSUSM
students have
not been able to gain a seat. As a result, they meet their upperdivision biology or math theory classes with confusion.
In addition, CSUSM might be able to more readily meet state
Full Time Equivalent (FTE) percentages with just a meager
offering of lower-division classes. Many students at CSUSM are
full time, but their units are divided between two part-time course
loads.
All that is asked of the university is that they put one course
for English composition, one for basic biology and one for
college level mathematics on the schedule. These three courses
are the most impacted at community colleges and probably the
most lacking of CSUSM students.
If you are a student at CSUSM who is forced to take a lowerdivision required class elsewhere, then send a small cordial
complaint to Academic Vice President Richard Millman or your
department dean. Such an action will require much less effort
than finding parking at Palomar.
If enough students voice their concerns, then perhaps administration will see the benefits of such abasic accommodation.

A few weeks ago an issue arose in this

depth.
The big question I 'd like us to think about is
this; who does the woik for family reunions and

The 20th century paradigm seems to be that
the women cook (Sometimes for days in advance) while the men get together in the living
room and watch football.
The washing-up afterwards is done either
entirely by women, or by a mixture of women
and children of both sexes (until the male children reach puberty).
In my own family things are run a little
differently, everyone helps at every stage, and
everyone gets to watch football. In my husband's

�What to do
with elephants
In the past three years, the Asian elephant breeding program at the Wild Animal Park has faced a string of controversies. As the majestic animal stampedes toward extinction,
Park officials and animal advocates are left wrestling with
the dilemma of how to save this vanishing breed.
L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER
O N C E UPON A TIME
there were herds of gigantic animals
that roamed the continents of Africa
and Asia. These majestic creatures
stood as tall as 13 feet at the
shoulder and weighed as much as
eight tons.
Theirs was a matriarchal social
community, led by the females of
the species. They roamed the land
in search of food (leaves and
shrubs) and gained respect from all
living creatures including lions and
t igers....
Such is the fairy tale of elephants
many may tell their children in the
not-too-distant future.

ivory trade. To many, elephants
became walking treasuries rather
than living beings.
There may b e no happy ending
to the tale of the elephants. As third
world populations grow in Africa
and Asia, it becomes increasingly
less likely that the elephant population will keep a home in its natural
environment Zoos and animal
sanctuaries may be the last glimmer
of hope for a once thriving species.
In 1985, the San Diego Wild
Animal Park in Escondido, opened
its Asian elephant breeding program. Having met with birthing
success in its African elephant
program, the Park intended to
become one of the few zoological
institutions to successfully breed
Asian elephants.
But tragedy after tragedy ensued.
By early 1991, the Park was faced
with three stillborn elephants. In
March of this year, animal trainer
Pamela Orsi, 27, was killed when
she was caught between two
fighting elephants. In the same
month the program's only successful birth was put to sleep because of
infection. Last month another
elephant was stillborn.
Time and time again, the
fledgling program found a shroud of
controversy and tragedy at every
turn of fate.
C ONTROVERSY OVER
the San Diego Wild Animal Park's
elephant program began three years
ago when a keeper at the San Diego
Zoo alleged that Dunda, a recently
acquired cow to the Park, was the
subject of abusive treatment by Park
keepers.

»CATHY SULLIVAN/PIONEER
According to Tom Hanscom,
director of Public Relations at the
Park, keepers regularly use some
degree of force to establish dominance over members of an elephant
herd. He says that the type of force
used by keepers at the Park to
establish hierarchical control is
similar to the same type of force
elephants use in the wild to gain
control of a herd.
In a natural setting, each
elephant maintains a social position
in the herd based on the establishment of dominance. If a less
dominant elephant wishes to rise up
the social ladder, it must challenge a
more dominant elephant in the herd.
This challenge is usually manifested
in a head-butting contest between
the two animals.-If the dominant
elephant retreats from the headbutting contest, it succeeds its
position to the challenger.
Hanscom says that keepers
utilize this type of challenge to
become the "head elephant" of the
herd. By doing so, the animals
become more responsive to keeper
commands thereby becoming
manageable.
As an exhibitory animal at the
San Diego Zoo, Dunda's former
home, Dunda was not accustomed
to this type of treatment Hanscom
says the keepers at the zoo preferred
to keep their distance from the
animal rather than establish a
trainer-elephant relationship.
As a result, Dunda, in her new
environment, did not recognize Park
keepers as members of the herd.
She was uncooperative and difficult
to handle. In order to establish
dominance, keepers used sticks to
emulate the head-butting ritual of
the herd.
Animal rights groups, like the
San Diego Animal Advocates
(SDAA), view this kind of hands-on
treatment as abusive. Sally Mackler
president of SDAA says that, as a
major source of revenue in San
Diego, the public was blind to the
practices of the Wild Animal Park.
"Dunda brought the whole issue
out of the closet," Mackler says. "It
showed that the practices of the
Park are different from public
perceptions."
Hanscom says that animal rights
groups such as the SDAA used the
Dunda incident to gain media
attention. He says that by attacking
a high-profile organization, like the
Wild Animal Park, animal rights
groups gained a level of public
EXPLORE
attention that they could not get
otherwise. By citing abuse, these
groups manipulated the public's
perception in a way that was
difficult for the Wild Animal Park
to defend.
"Abuse is a crime where the
accused has to prove its innocence,"
says Hanscom. "The San Diego
Zoological Society maintains that
there was no abuse."
Mackler indicates that, because
elephants are extremely intelligent
creatures, they are more susceptible
to tactics of intimidation used by
Park keepers. She says the most
humane way of dealing with
elephants is to utilize modern
technology in restraining and
controlling the animals without the
need of physical touch.
One such method, used in the
Portland Zoo, utilizes a room with
moveable walls to restrain their
elephants. When an elephant needs
medical attention, it is lured into the
room. The walls of the room
hydraulically squeeze the elephant
so keepers can work on i t
Such equipment is expensive,
however, and some animal rights
group question whether such
practices are humane.
E V E R SINGE THE DUNDA
Incident, the public's attention has
focused on the tragedies which have
afflicted the Park's Asian elephant
breeding program. Since the
completion of its $380,000 breeding
facility in 1985, the Park has
suffered the loss of four baby
elephants and an adult cow.
Hanscom says that breeding
failures are natural events that occur
when wild animals are bred in
captivity. He indicates that because
elephants are such "high profile"
animals, the public becomes more
attuned to their breeding failures
than the failures of other animals.
"In the wild, it is estimated that
at least 50 percent of first-born
elephants die," he says. "We are
following the same breeding
protocol as other successful
programs. Unfortunately things
happened to our animals before the
program was successful."
Last March, Omar, the first baby
Asian elephant born at the Park,
died of infection. After 10 months
of effort by Park veterinarians to
nurse the calf to health, Omar was
put to sleep by a lethal injection of
phenobarbital. The Park also
suffered from several stillborn

Due to the tragic turn of events
with the Asian elephant breeding
program, the Wild Animal Park
remains unsure of whether it will
cdkitinue its program. Compounding
the decision is a recent moratorium
placed on elephant breeding by
national zoological societies.
The problem facing most
elephant breeding programs is the
question of what to do with the
offspring.
Due to the aggressive, unpredictable nature of male elephants, zoos
are generally only able to keep one
bull on the premises. Having more
than one bull could result in

of elephant breeding activities until
a solution to the placement problem
can be answered.
Mackler says her organization
does not support elephant breeding
programs because of the low
success rate they achieve. She
attributes part of the problem to the
limited space available to elephants
in zoos.
"In the wild there are complex
and intricate relationships between
the male and female elephants.
There is no space for proper social
interactions in zoos," she says.
According to Mackler, female
elephants are tied to "rape racks" at
the Wild Animal Park. She says that
these devices deny the elephants the
opportunity for proper social
interaction.
But Hanscom points out that
such instruments are necessary to
ensure the safety of both the
animals and the keepers.
The mechanism introduces bulls
to cows and also has the ability to
separate them should a dangerous
situation arise. Keepers need not put
there lives in jeopardy to restrain an
uncontrollable mating elephant
Another problem facing the
Park's breeding program is the
rejection of the elephant calves by
the mother cow. None of the
elephants at the Park have seen a
baby elephant before. An adult
elephant might turn on its offspring
because it does not recognize what
it is.
In 1982, the Park lost an African
elephant calf after it was attacked
by an adult in the herd. The adult
simply did not recognize that the
calf was of the same species. After
Omar the Asian elephant was born,
his mother, Connie, continually bit,
kicked and attempted to step on him
until Park officials were forced to
separate them.

IF THE ASIAN ELEPHANT
breeding program is put on hold at
the Wild Animal Park, Hanscom
says the Park will probably resume
its efforts at a later time. As
curators of an endangered species,
the Park is bound by conservation
ethics to keep the Asian elephant
gene pool alive and propagating.
"A zoo can play a supporting
role of maintaining a genetic pool,"
says Hanscom. "We should not be
viewed as curators of a living
museum, but as a strong conservation education tool."
Hanscom is quick to point out
that the lack of success in the Asian
elephant breeding program seems to
overshadow successes with other
animals.
In the course of 11 years, the
Park produced 70 rare white rhinoceros offspring. 900 births
or hatches each year place the sanctuary far above other zoological institutions in terms of breeding success.
Hanscom says that because
Asian elephants are so high profile,
public scrutiny of their breeding
program is constant, but he also
stresses the Park's commitment to
the preservation of elephants.
"The danger is if we. alter our
margins because we are driven by
public opinion," he says.

and the
Creating the
perfect beast
Animators continue classical Disney magic
J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
Everyone is familiar with the old adage
that says: "Don't judge a book by its cover."
But, when the book's shell has the autograph of Walt Disney the precedent is set for
a fantastic story.
'The Beauty and the Beast,' opening
nationwide Nov. 22, is a wonderfully
animated, musically beautiful and amazing
story.
The story unfolds of a handsome man
who is bound as a beast, played by Robby
Benson. The only way to return himself to
his original winsome self is to gain the love
of a beautiful woman.
Animator Glen Keane created a creature
that is both hideous and ferocious, yet
transforms into something beautiful as it is
tamed by the charms of a woman. Keane
combines a smorgasbord of creatures in his
beast and adds a pinch of Disney magic to
help his monster come alive.
The beauty is Belle, played by Paige
O'Hara. With her, the Disney animators
drew an aesthetically alluring young woman
with a voice that outshines the Him projector
lights.
Belle is not a run-of-the-mill storybook
beauty. She would rather spend her time
reading a book than entertaining the love of
the obnoxious town hunk, Gaston. With
Belle, Disney successfully brings a modernday woman who seeks intellectual fulfillment into a traditional format.
Beauty and the beast meet each other
through Belle's strange inventor father
Maurice. Seeking shelter from a storm,
Maurice finds himself trapped in the beast's
castle. As a symbol of her daughterly love,
Belle bargains with the beast to take her
captive in exchange for her father's freedom.
The monster agrees and the stage is set:
the beast and the girl are left alone. Well
almost.
Disney adds a few extra characters to its
saga. There's a candlestick, a clock, a tea
pot and her tea cup. All of these objects,
with the entire household furniture, are
comically animated. Angela Lansbury
('Murder She Wrote') and David Ogden
Stiers ('M*A*S*H') lend their voices to
these animated objects.
With the cast now introduced, the Disney
crew of animators and writers work their
magic and the beauty and the beast fall in
love.
A missing page in this production,
however, is how the beast became the way
he did. He must find love before a special
rose wilts. Where the flower came from and
who cast the spell is not answered in the
show.
Regardless, 'Beauty in the Beast' can be
placed on the bookshelf along with the other
classic animated feature films from Walt
Disney. Its beauty will last longer than some
of its predecessors'.
Creating the characters for "Beauty
and the Beast" was a thoughtful, timeconsuming process involving the
collaborative efforts of may different
people.
In the final analysis, however, it is
the supervising animator and his team
that must bring those characters convincingly to life and provide the
credibility, personality and entertainment that appears on the screen.
Glen Keane was the supervising
animator who designed and drew the
beast and oversaw the animators who
worked on him. For this 16-year
Disney veteran, whose previous works
range from animating the climatic
bear fight in 'The Fox and the Hound'
to Ariel in 'The Little Mermaid,' this
latest assignment was easily the
toughest
"There's never been a character
like him before," explains Keane, "so
there was nothing to fall back on. I
began creating the beast by figuring
out who the character really is inside.
H e's a guy trapped between two
worlds. He's part animal and part
human and h e's not comfortable with
either. His design had to show the
human side - heart, warmth and the
ability to love. The ferocious, hideous
animal side had to reflect his incredible power and agility. I filled my
mind with all of these things and
began processingitintoafinaldesign."
In the end, Keane created his own
hybrid beast taking the mane of a lion,
the beard and head structure of a
buffalo, the tusks and nose bridge of a
wild boar, the heavily muscled brow
of a gorilla, the legs and tail of a wolf
and the big bulky body of a bear. To
all of the above, he added the most
important ingredient - sincerity.
"The eyes are the window to the
soul," says Keane. "When Bellelooks
into beast's eyes she must see his
human heart and soul. She must see
sincerity and believe that she can acSEE BEAST/PAGE 15

Local prisoner artwork exhibit
corrects audience conceptions
D EBBIE PUFFY/PIONEER
The exhibition, "Arts in Correction," clearly displays the artistic
abilities of inmates and their instructors from California prisons. Most of
the art defines expressions of feeling
that relate to an artist, but these artists
are the "dregs of the Earth," those
who usually are not accepted in normal society.
Most of the artwork expresses
universal themes and feelings, but
when we see who the artists are, we
can also place their art in a specific
category, that from prisoners.
When you walk into the Boehm
Gallery at Palomar College, you will
have a choice of entering one of three
rooms. The rooms directly to the left
and right include the artwork by the
prisoners.
The room straight ahead contains a
television set with a 53-minute video
consisting of 17 short video pieces by
prison inmates experimenting with
another form of art, video production.
The most poignant pieces of art are
in the two rooms opposite each other.
In the room to the right, some of the
p rison w omen c reated " altered
books," in which they change the looks
of real books to suit their perception
of "regular" books. Also there are
painting, sculptures and drawings.
One drawing, in particular, is
worthy of inspection. Done in graphite
by Mike Aguilar, an inmate, this
drawing depicts Latin and Indian men
and women, some just faces, some
full figures. Interwoven with the human figures, clocks hands, guns and
bars with a keyhole play with the
imagination of the viewer.
This drawing portrays power and
defeat, hope and sadness, and the long
wait for freedom all at the same time.
In the other room, many portraits
adorn the walls, but one picture captures the soul and mind.
Called " I Stand Alone" by inmate
Rickie Soria, this picture displays a
large tree dominating the landscape.
Without the leaves, orstrong branches,
this tree lies bent and twisted, worn
and defeated. Possibly the blue sky
behind the tree depicts hope, but the
tree itself proves that hope*is long
gone. Only the determination to survive exists.
Interestingly, these art pieces are
very good. Most of the artists have
captured their inner feelings and expressed them effectively on the canvas. None of the art pieces seems to
comefromthe part of society in which
they originate.
Seeing these pictures and sculptures spawns a new awareness in the
viewer for the prisoners. Even if they
a re in prison, they can express themselves well through a rt
However, after you begin the accept these people and their works,
you notice an encased glass display
s howing a nother c reative f orm:
weapons. These weapons were confiscated from the prisoners and are
displayed to show the viewer that
these peoplereally do liveinadiffeient
society.
How can something so expressive
and even beautiful come from such a
violent community? Maybe these
people should be given a chance to
express their lives and ideas. They
have something very creative to verbalize: themselves.
The showing will continue at the
Boehm Gallery through Nov. 13.

Another thing that Keane strived
for in his work was realism.
"The character has to be r eal...
he says. "In the scene where Belle
refuses to come down for dinner and
the beast loses his temper, the script
called for him to run up the stairs in a
rage. But an enraged animal would
stamper on all fours and leapfromthe
stairs to the landing, almost sailing
through the air, which is the way we
ended up doing i t" „
The animator c redits Robby
Benson with providing the right inspiration for beast through his vocal
interpretation. "He was the best actor
that we heard by far and his performance really helped us get the emotional edge," says Keane.
