Winter Session Dropped from Schedule
By JAMES NEWELL
Pride Staff Writer
Although this year’s winter
session is the last at Cal State San
Marcos and marks a change in
the vision of the Extended Stud
ies program, members from both
Year Round Operations (YRO)
and Extended Studies are opti
mistic about the opportunities the
new year-round schedule will pro
vide for matriculated students.
“It is not a surprise to us,”
said Robert Stakes, the new
dean of Extended Studies.
“Summer will reduce prices and
offer more opportunities for
students.” Although the change
will affect the current focus of
Extended Studies, “ ... we will
find other ways to generate fund
ing,” said Stakes.
Cancelling winter session is
a step toward the implementa
tion of YRO, which utilizes reg
ular state funding to reduce stu
dent costs, which are less expen
sive than the Extended Studies
Program.
“More students will benefit
by the new summer semester
than will be hurt by the loss of
winter session,” said Pat Worden,
Students Celebrate
Japanese Culture
By JENNIFER HOLMES
Pride Staff Writer
Students commemorated the
first day of the second annual
Japanese Culture Week (Tuesday,
Nov. 13 through Thursday, Nov.
15) by adorning Founders’ Plaza
with traditional Japanese paper
lanterns. The Japanese Club,
students and professors in the
Japanese Program,
Anime
Project Alliance, the Victorious
Club, and the American
Language and Culture Institute
organized and presented cultur
al activities and displays during
the three-day celebration. They
organized the event to share var
ious aspects of Japanese culture
with those on campus.
“Our goal is to expose people
to Japanese culture, to something
they wouldn’t typically get being
here (in the U.S.),” said Marc
Townsend, founder and presi
dent of the Japanese Club.
“In Japan, Nov. 3 is culture
day, and everyone celebrates with
exhibitions, performances, and
food,” said Mikiko Imamura
Seyller, professor of world lan
guages and Hispanic literature,
and an adviser in the Japanese
program. Although this event did
not take place on Nov. 3, like
the one in Japan, Seyller said the
motivation behind these^events is
the same —to promote cultural
awareness.
On Tuesday, the Japanese
Club held a food sale in Found
ers’ Plaza featuring traditional
Japanese favorites including
yakisoba (noodles), goyza (Japa
nese dumplings), and okonomiyaki (Japanese-style pancakes).
There was also a Japanese mar
ketplace in Commons 206, which
offered students an interactive
video game demonstration set
up by Anime Project Alliance.
Handcrafted origami arts were
available for purchase, as well as
video games, laser discs, comic
books, and Pocky, which are
chocolate-covered biscuit sticks,
a popular snack in Japan.

exhibition featuring different

Former CSUSM Employee Settles Lawsuit
By MARTHA SARABIA
Pride Staff Writer
Lori Edwards, a former Cal
State San Marcos accountant who
filed a lawsuit against the uni
versity for discrimination and
harassment due to her gender and
race, settled the agreement for
$215,000; from this amount, she
received $5,000 for emotional
distress.
Edwards, an African-Amer
ican female, filed the lawsuit at
Vista’s Superior Court on Nov.
13, 2000. Her charges included
race, color and/or national origin
discrimination; gender harass
ment and discrimination; retali
ation; invasion of privacy; negli
gent and/or intentional infliction
of emotional distress; defama
tion, and violation of the Califor
nia Family Rights Act, according
to court files.
In her settlement agreement
dated Jan. 26 and released by
the university at the request of
the North County Times on Nov.
8, Edwards agreed to drop any
actions against the university per
sonnel she had named as defen
dants in the complaint. She also
agreed to state in her records that
she voluntarily resigned from
her job at the university Jan.
31, 2000. According to court
files, however, Edwards states
that she received a letter from
the director of Human Resources
and Equal Opportunity Office in
January 2000 informing her that
she would be discharged from
employment.
Edwards and her attorney,
and the defendants from Fiscal
Operations, Human Resources,
and the Equal Opportunity
offices were unable to comment
before press time.
“We can only comment that
the matter has been amicably
resolved,” said Rick Moore, a
university spokesperson. “It was
negotiated with the plaintiff and
her attorneys. The payment of
$210,000 settles a claim for
worker’s compensation, based on
stress. The payment of $5,000
settles a separate, civil claim for
emotional distress. The settle
ment is not an admission of any
wrongdoing.”
A law signed by California
Gov. Gray Davis on Oct. 5
requires all sex offenders
enrolling or working on col
lege campuses to register with
the campus police, beginning
next year.
The assembly bill states
that any person convicted of a
sex crime, including students,
faculty, and all others working
on campus, must notify campus
police of their address within
five working days. The same
applies if the person is disenrolling from the campus, chang
ing employment, or changing
his/her address.
If an individual violates the
law, he/she will receive a mis
demeanor, depending on the
number of violations the per
son has or commits.
In the past, campus police
had no way of knowing if
sex offenders were on campus,
because they were allowed to
live in one area and attend
school in another. Now campus
police will know who is on
their campus. “The database
is a valuable tool,” said Tom
Shultheis, CSUSM’s chief of
police. He added, “it certainly
doesn’t mean that every single
person who is registered is
automatically a suspect.”
Federal law forces colleges
to let students know who is a
sex offender on their campus.
Supports of the law said
they believe it will be easier for
campus police to investigate
sex crimes committed on cam
pus. On the other hand, those
who are opposed to the new
law say that the right to pri
vacy is being taken from sex
offenders *North County Times

�Student Government Starts Readership Program
Free N ew York Times Newspapers Available Next Semester
By MELANIE ADDINGTON
Pride Editor
Students may have a few
more opportunities to read the
hews next semester. The
Associated Students Inc. exec
utive committee approved the
New York Times readership pro
gram Friday, Nov. 16.
The program, which brings
free newspapers to students on
campus, will last for four weeks,
on a trial basis. “The decision to
try the program was easy,” said
ASI President Dean Manship.
After the trial is up, ASI
will assess whether they should
begin the paid program, based on
how many students pick up the
papers.
According to Manship, the
board had to look at how useful
the program is for students and
how the program will affect the
readership of The Pride student
newspaper.
“It is really not about the cost.
As long as it useful to students
then we can deal with the cost,”
said Manship,
Kathleen O’Connell, a New
York Times representative, pre
sented the readership program
to the board on Friday, Oct. 26.
Jocelyn Brown, the California
State
Student
Association
(CSSA) representative for Cal
State San
said she asked
O’Connell to present the program
to the ASI Board of Directors
after Brown heard her speak at
the CSSA meeting at San Diego
State University.

CSU and UC Systems to Provide Joint
Doctoral Programs in Education
By JUSTIN ANDREWS
Pride Staff Writer
CSU students will soon have
easier and more affordable access
to doctoral degrees in education.
CSU Chancellor Charles Reed
and UC President Richard Atkin
son reached a tentative agree
ment, in which each system, Uni
versity of California and Cali
fornia State* University, will put
up $2 million to organize pro
grams among various campuses.
Colleen Bentley-Adler, a spokes
person for the CSU chancellor’s
office, said that the joint pro
gram may be offered as soon as
August.
The joint program aims to
provide many future teachers
with a thorough, in-depth edu
cation designed to raise the over
all quality of education for both
students and teachers.
“I wouldn’t say right now
whether that can be done by
August, but I wouldn’t rule it
out,” said CSUSM’s Dean of
Education, Steve Lilly. “This
is really important for us, and
important to public school peo
ple around here in general, to
have better access to this doc
toral of education program,” he
said.
Seventeen percent of Cal
State San Marcos students are
here for degrees in education.
Sixty percent of California’s
teachers graduated from the
CSU system, all with little or
no access to a doctoral degree
in education. “We invest a high
er percentage of our resources
in education training than any
other Cal State University,” Lilly
. said, noting that UC Riverside
is a nearby school that offers
educational doctorates.
In I960, the California
Master Plan for Education
assigned the UC system to be
the sole provider for a doctoral
degree in an education pro
gram. Bentley-Adler said, how
ever, that the UC system is
not meeting the demands of
future teachers. Eighty percent
of these degrees are obtained
at expensive private schools,
which deprives the majority of
California’s teachers of a higher
level of education. .
Some may wondef whether
future educators f^m flie CSU
system are ready for a doctoral
program. A study conducted by
the CSU system shows that more
than 25 percent of students grad
uating with teaching degrees
feel unprepared to teach English
and math, while 60 percent said
they were not prepared to teach
science,, history, or social sci
ence.

Wednesday’s activities also
included a lecture and demon
stration on Hayashi, Japanese
kabuki percussion, by Katada
Kikusa in University Hall 237.
The demonstration featured
Hayashi’s main instruments as
well as the koto, the oldest tra
ditional Japanese string instru
ment, which dates back 1,300
years. Ken Saragosa, a leader
of the Buddhist organization,
Soka Gakkai International-USA,
spoke about Buddhism’s prin
ciple belief in humanity and
the empowerment of people. “A
great revolution of character in
just a single man will help
achieve a change in the destiny
of a nation and, further, will
cause a change in the destiny of
all mankind.” About 45 people
attended the lecture.

Protestors Rally for Improved
Teachers’ Working Conditions
By ALYSSA FINKELSTEIN
For The Pride
Faculty, staff, and students
from Cal State campuses came
by bus and airplane from as far
north as Humboldt and as far
south as San Diego to protest
for better Working conditions
for CSU professors during a
teach-in held at the CSU chancel
lor’s office in Long Beach. The
California Faculty Association
(CFA) organized the Nov. 14
teach-in to present the Board of
Trustees with a unified front of
support.
The morning of the teach-in
began with vocal protests, and
the crowd organized a picket
line outside the CSU trustees
meeting, held at the chancellor’s
office. The rally began with
an introduction and welcome
from Gonzalo Santos, CFA
president and a professor from
CSU Bakersfield. Speakers
included Assemblywoman Judy
Chu, State Assemblyman Alan
Lowenthal,
and
Miguel
Contreras of the Los Angeles
County Federation of Labor.
State Sen. Gloria Romero also
attended the event. The speakers
addressed issues including the
corporatization of higher educa
tion, the decrease in money the
universities spend per student,
and the lack of sufficient new
tenure-track faculty positions.
Student Sadot Chavez, of
CSU Dominguez Hills, spoke
out in support of CSU professors,
and the “Meta” acting group
from Cal State Los Angeles
performed a satirical theatre
presentation called “Mac State
University.”
Finally, Susan Meisenhelder,
another leader for the CFA, came
outside from the chancellor’s
office to tell the crowd that the
petitions from every Cal State
campus had successfully been
delivered to the trustees, despite
alleged skirmishes between the
police and the protestors when
the petitions were delivered.
Trustees, however, came out to
retrieve the petitions.
Those who attended the
teach-in enjoyed a catered lunch
and live musical entertainment.
Founder of University s Research Center Resigns
By VICTORIA B. SEGALL
Pride Editor
After founding the universi
ty’s ^National Latino Research
Center (NLRC) in 1997 and serv
ing as its director, Dr. Fernando
Soriano has resigned as NLRC
director. “I’m both happy and
sad about the departure —happy
for the center and myself, but
also sad to be apart from it,” said
Soriano, who officially resigned
from the position Nov. 1.
The NLRC, Soriano
explained, provides and pro
motes informational research and
databases that focus on the
Latino population. “But with the
recent growth and the number
of staff at the center, it becomes
difficult to be an effective direc
tor and to do what I do,” said
Soriano.
Dr. Pat Worden, the uni
versity’s associate vice presi
dent of Academic Affairs for
Research, and the dean of gradu
ate studies, will serve temporar
ily as director. “The center was

House. (Pride Photo/Victoria Segall)
meant to be my contribution,”
said Soriano. “At some point,
I had planned to release it to
the university to let them help
it grow.”
Before he resigned, however,
Soriano asked university presi
dent Alexander Gonzalez to seek
advice for future NLRC projects
from consultants and experts
of Latino research. “I’m really
excited about the university tak
ing a greater role with the
NLRC,” said Soriano. “It will
require them to take a greater
amount of responsibility with
the center.”
Soriano will continue
in his position as the director
of the human development pro
gram at Cal State San Marcos,
and he will continue to teach
as an associate professor at the
university. This past year, he
was appointed a member of the
U.S. Census Bureau, and he also
serves on the Race and Ethnic
Affiliation Committee. Soriano
also plans to focus more on
his research on youth violence.
“With all of the concern we’ve
had over the year or so with
school violence, it becomes more
important for me to work on
these issues,” he said.
Before he joined Cal State
San Marcos, Soriano taught at
the University of Missouri. He
received his bachelor’s degree
in psychology from the UC
Riverside, and his psychology
master’s and doctorate from the
University
of
Colorado,
Boulder.
�Peter Jennings and Local Media Interviewed by Public
By VICTORIA B. SEGALL
Pride Editor
Roles were reversed when
the San Diego public interviewed
local media about news coverage,
particularly of September 11, on
Nov. 17 at “Ask the Media,” a live
televised panel discussion with
Peter Jennings, news anchor and
senior editor for ABC’s “World
News Tonight.”
“We’re trying to get some
appreciation of what’s on your
mind, and honest answers from
the panelists on what we report
and how we do it,” Jennings told
the audience of 800 that gathered
at the University of San Diego’s
Shiley Theater. “This will not
only be a national, but a truly
international experience. We’ll
try to understand our role in
this current phase of American
natural life.”
The subjects of questions
posed ranged from media cover
age of the war and hate crimes
to the presence of minorities in
news anchor positions.
Featured panelists included
news anchor Hal Clement from
KGTV-10 News, editor Kent
Davy from the North County
Times, radio host Roger
Hedgecock from KOGO Radio,
news anchor Kimberly Hunt from
KGTV-10, news director Lourdes
Sandoval from KBNT Univision,
and staff writer Kelly Thornton
from the San Diego UnionTribune.
One of the first ques
tion^ from the audience (which
included college students, teach
ers, retired military personnel,
and members from the Muslim
and Sikh community) was, “How
does the media determine what
they tell, like military opera
tions?”
Hal Clement said that some
news stations are selective of the
news they present. “For example,
we wouldn’t tell about a mission
beforehand,” he said. “We would
be devastated to find out that
anything we would report on
would cause the death of any
serviceperson.”
“We do know how to wait,”
said Kimberly. Hunt^ who
revealed that KGTV and other
news stations knew about the
plans for the U.S. attack on
Afghanistan 24 hours prior to
their reporting of it.
Jennings added, “They [the
media] do have access to people
in the defense department will
ing to leak information.”
Some of the panelists dis
agreed with one another when
they discussed the decision of
sending reporters into war
zones.
“I don’t believe that report
ers should be in the war zones,”
said Roger Hedgecock. “It would
be like inserting an ally of the
Taliban.”
“It’s the right of the people,”
disagreed Lourdes Sandoval.
“Otherwise, why are we journal
ists?”
Audience members ques
tioned whether or not the media
was covering news or creating
news, especially since the war
in Afghanistan and the anthrax
scares.
“This isn’t abofit sowing fear,
it’s about keeping you informed,”
said Clement. “We don’t want to
alarm you, we want to inform
you.” Kent Davy referred to the
North County Times1 coverage
on the safety of the San Onofre
nuclear power plant since the
Sept. 11 attacks. “We believe the
press is playing a useful role to
keep you well-informed,” said
Davy. “I feel it’s better to have
more information than less.”
As the evening went on, the
audience discussed more Sept.
11-related issues, notably the dis
cussion of local hate crimes. One
individual, who identified him
self as a member of the San
Diego Chapter of the Muslim
American Society, said, “We
have found ourselves victimized
by hate mongers and people
putting out messages that are
anti-Islamic and anti-Muslim,

individual decisions.
A student from Mount
Carmel High School, who said
she hoped to become a broadcast
journalist someday, asked how
the panelists stay calm and ratio
nal when they report the news.”
“We have a job to do,” said
Hunt. “We focus on what we
need to do when we strap in
that chair and focus on the news
information.”
Hedgecock said that talking
about it helped everyone when
they discussed the terrorist
attacks.
“The focus helps,’’ said
Jennings. “I was so focused on
what was happening, that two
weeks after (Sept. 11) I felt ter
rible.”

identified himself as a member of

This Dessert Will Knock You O ff Your Feet
By JOY WHITMAN
Pride Staff Writer
With the holidays just around
the comer, scrumptious baked
goods come to mind, especially
fudge, pies, cookies and cakes.
Although it doesn’t have a “holi
day” theme, there is one deli
cious treat that works well for
any occasion: “Better than Sex
Cake.” Yes, you read that cor
rectly.
To prevent shocking and
embarrassing your relatives and
friends at those holiday gather
ings, you may want to change
the name, or refuse to tell them.
Ingredients:
1 box of devil’s food cake mix
1 can of sweetened condensed
milk
1 jar of Mrs. Richardson’s cara
mel topping (or any brand you
choose)
2 Skor bars (gee, what an appro
priate addition) - Heath bars
work just as well.
Preparation:
Make the devil’s food cake
by following the directions on
the box (most likely it will call
for eggs and vegetable oil, so
you may want to add these items
to the grocery list if you don’t
already have them).
Let the cake cool for about
20 minutes, and poke holes in it
with the end of a wooden spoon.
Next, pour the sweetened
condensed milk into the holes
you’ve made. Use as much of
the milk as you want, depend
ing on how sweet you want it.
Then, pour in the caramel top
ping. Cover and refrigerate the
cake for about one hour.
Top the cake with crushed
Skor or Heath bars, and serve.
Since this cake is extremely rich,
I would advise getting a tall
glass of cold milk to wash it
down.
Note: Whether or not the
name of this delightful treat is
deserving of its name is up to
you to find out. Cheers.

�Harpy Potter: A Mediocre Success
Harry Potter movie stills. (Courtesy Photos/HarryPotter. com)
By MELANIE ADDINGTON
Pride Editor
The strangest thing about
“Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s
Stone” is its length. The film is
2 Vi hours long, but its target
audience has a half-hour atten
tion span. Perhaps I am wrong.
Maybe the target audience was
never children, but rather their
parents.
At the theater, some preteens and younger were inter
spersed with a much larger crowd
of adults —many adults without
a kid in sight. Although this is
great for the industry — selling
to a wide variety of customers
— children under eight or nine
won’t be able to appreciate the
film, if not for the length, then
for the dark scenes and night
marish creatures. But for fami
lies with pre-teens and up, Potter
is worth seeing at least once, but
maybe not twice.
The hero of this story, Harry
Potter (played by Daniel
Radcliffe), is an 11-year-old boy,
and the storyline is meant for
children (whether or not they
should bother is up to you).
Radcliffe is new to the film
business —his first screen role
was playing the young David
Copperfield in a made-for-TV
movie. But Radcliffe already has
star power. When he is onscreen,
you can’t take your eyes off of
him.
Yet, why wouldn’t he become
a star? Chris Colombus, a
director who is an expert in
telling a good family story,
directed Radcliffe. Colombus’
previous credits include “Home
Alone,” “Mrs. Doubtfire,” “Nine
Months,” “Stepmom,” and his
directorial debut, “Adventures in
Babysitting.” Colombus has a
way of finding the cutest aspect
of kids and selling the audience
on their appeal -- even when the
story line is mediocre.
Potter also has some out
standing special effects, but also
some mediocre ones. During
the Quidditch game (a Warlock
sport), athletes are supposed to
fly on their brooms, but the imag
es are cartoonish at best, fake
at worst. The images do manage
to look similar to the drawing
on the cover of the novel, which
may be a good thing if it were
not so irritating to the eye.
The good effects include
Hagrid as a giant (the scenes
where he looks gigantic do not
look fake in any way), and the
paintings in Hogwart’s School
of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In
one scene, Potter rests at the
nurse’s station while a walllength painting hangs above his
head. Although nothing moves
near Potter, in the painting a
nurse walks to a patient’s bed
side and blows out a candle. Yes,
it is hauntingly similar to the
Disneyland Haunted House ride,
but it is such a neat effect that
it doesn’t matter how small a
world it is.
For those who have read the
Harry Potter series, you know
that the story takes you on a mag
ical adventure. The film parallels
the novel, but somehow loses
that mysterious charm in some
scenes. For example, the alley
way where Hagrid takes Potter to
buy his warlock school materi
als looks very unique, but is

not what my imagination had
conjured up while reading the
book. When the images onscreen
broke away from what I had
imagined, the film lost its magic.
But I suppose if you haven’t read
the book, then this film is just
a family treat and nothing more.
But for those of us who expected
just a bit more, there are some
disappointments.
Yet, when Radcliffe smiles
(for he does have the most charm
ing smile) you again believe in
the magic. Any 11-year-old girl
that sees this film will absolutely
fall in love with Radcliffe, for
he is adorable. And, for adults,
Radcliffe’s childlike fascination
with the world around Mm draws

Salt from “Willy Wonka’s
Chocolate Factory” that made
me grit my teeth throughout the
film.
Yes, part of her annoyance
was just her character, but the
tooth-grinding loudness also car

What is refreshing about the
film is the adventure, action and
mystery, but there’s no love story*
Even in “Toy Story” (another
popular children’s film) there
is a love story between toys.
Hollywood has pushed love sto

film to attempt to pull in all
possible audiences, but no love

There are annoying things
about the film, such as the
Quidditch game effects, and

Granger, played by Emma
Watson. Her character is sup
posed to be a Ms. Know-it-all,
but that is not the annoying
thing about her. Instead, it was
her loud-mouthed acting,which
Just good old adventure. Very
refreshing.
“Harry Potter and the
Sorcerer’s Stone” is rated PG for
some scary moments and mild
language. If the child in your
life can handle the occasional
dark and scary scene and can sit
still for a long period, I would
still recommend taking him/her

“The goal is soul,” Bono
chanted to a sold-out crowd who
raised their fists and sang along
with the enigmatic singer.
Soul indeed.
The Los Angeles Staples
Center was transformed into a
church on Monday, Nov. 12,
as Irish rock group U2 proved
that rock n’ roll can be a spiri
tual experience. U2’s congrega
tion alternated between trans
fixion and frenzy as the band
performed a two-hour set filled
with some of their biggest hits.
With the house lights still
on, Bono, guitarist Edge, drum
mer Larry Mullin Jr., and bass
ist Adam Clayton took the stage
in an understated fashion not
seen since the early 1980s. The
band opened with “Elevation,”
followed by “Beautiful Day,”
both from their most recent
album, the Grammy-winning
“All That You Can’t Leave
Behind.”
The stage featured a heartshaped catwalk that allowed
Bono to strut into the crowd, pas
sionately singing into the adoring
faces of fans only inches away.
The elaborate sets and costumes
from “Zoo TV” and “Popmart”
were gone. Left behind were the
bare essentials, the inspirational
music from the four lads from
Dublin that’s made them one of
the most influential bands of our
time.
Songs such as “New Year’s
Day” and “Where the Streets
Have No Name” brought the
audience to their feet. Early in
the show the crowd heard “Out
of Control,” U2’s first single
from 1979. An acoustic version
of “Please” was also an unex
pected treat. Gwen Stefani, lead
singer of No Doubt (the opening
act for the evening), joined the
band for a rendition of Marvin
Gaye’s classic, “What’s Going
On?”
Other favorites, such as
“Sunday Bloody Sunday,” took

Bono dedicated “Kite” to his
father, who passed away a few
months ago. In a further attempt
to connect with the audience, a
dazed female fan was brought
onstage to play guitar for the
Curtis Mayfield tune, “People

during the final encore.
“Something about the words
‘rock ‘n roll’ and ‘freedom’ feel
like the same thing,” said Bono
as he held up his index finger,
introducing U2’s most powerful
song, “One.”
During the song, hundreds of
Sept. 11 victim’s names appeared
on video screens onstage and
were projected onto the walls of
the arena and the faces of fans;
this reminded us that we are all
“one, but not the same.” The
names surrounded the audience
like spirits, and brought many to
tears as Bono changed the lyrics
on a whole new meaning for
the audience and the band in
the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks.
During the anti-war anthem,
Bono snatched an American flag
from the outstretched hand of a
fan and cradled it iti his arms like
a child. He pressed the flag to his
cheek, and then handed it back
to the overwhelmed fan, pas
sionately crooning, “Wipe Your
Tears Away.”
Bono later told the audience,

�EDITORIAL
As we wind down another
semester, the last semester of
college for some of us, we’re
starting to think about entering
the real world, or the so-called
“real world” of getting a job.
And we’re also starting to think
about whether or not we’re really
prepared for the real world.
The last few weeks, we’ve
been applying for jobs so that
after graduating this winter, we’ll
be able to enter the ranks of
professionals. But it turns out
that the real world may not be
as excited about our bachelors’
degrees as we are.
A few individuals in The
Pride office want to become
journalists. However the jour
nalism field is telling them that
they’re not quite prepared. Their
heads are swimming with, “Do
you have any real world experi
ence? Any full-time experience?
Have you done anything besides
work at a school paper? School
papers are just extracurricular
activities, you know.”
We have our internships, and
we joined our clubs. We did
whatever we could to create
a great resume for the time when
we would be ready to step out
into the real world. Well, that
time’s coming
up. Our “extra
curricular activ
ities” are looking great on our
resumes, but why aren’t we get
ting hired? Were we not pre
pared after all?
Take our literature and writ
ing students, for example. We
love studying literature. But then
we realize that when we have to
find some necessary filing job
to pay the bills, Chaucer and
Nietzche haven’t prepared most
of us for the real world.
Sure, reciting a fantastic
William Blake poem while we
serve fries at McDonald’s may
comfort us, but will it help us
sleep at night? We’re not so sure.
So, what’s a college graduate to
do?
We’re graduating at a time
of great economic uncertainty,
a time when those who have
graduated years before us are
being let go so that companies
can make ends meet. Many of
the jobs we dreamed of while
we crammed for finals may be
fading away.
Are there answers? We guess
that perhaps studying more realworld applications would help.
Will visiting the Career and
Assessment Center really help?
Maybe for some of us, we’ll
finally learn how to sell our-
Ready to Register
By MARTHA SARABIA
Pride Staff Writer
When students were able to
register for the spring semester,
many rushed to the bookstore to
get a copy of the spring class
schedule. But some students
only had two days before their
registration date to look over the
schedule and decide what classes
to take.
This brought not only con
troversy, but many discussions
between CSUSM students who
were disappointed about this
disorganization; however, this
was not all. While flipping
through the schedule’s pages,
guess what? The classes that
many of us want or need are
only offered once, so we need
to make ourselves available for
those classes and reschedule our
personal schedules. The lack of
varying class times is unfair for
many seniors hoping to gradu
ate, because if they can’t take
the class, this delays their grad
uation plans; this is the experi
ence that many CSUSM stu
dents are going through right
now.
Not only do we get a small
variety of classes, butthey are
only offered once, or only have
one section. I am in this situa
tion, and many students I know
are also complaining about this
fact.
This is a popular complaint
discussed among CSUSM stu
dents. I have discussed this with
friends, and heard it as a topic
of conversation between others
in the Dome and in classes.
However, this is not a new issue
at this university. For almost
three years now, since I first
came to this campus, I have
heard the same complaint from
students.
Furthermore, there are dif
ferent classes that are required
for a major, but some of those are
offered at the same times. This
is the case for some Spanish
majors, where two classes are
offered at the same time, which
doesn’t allow students to regis
ter for both classes. Is this done
on purpose?
I prefer to believe in the
good will of people and hope
that it will be fixed soon, facili
tating students with their regis
tration process for the upcom
ing semester. Not only will this
facilitate registration, but also
the entire CSUSM experience,
because trying to register for
a class in the beginning of the
semester or “crashing” can be a
very unpleasant experience for
students.
I hope that school officials
involved in organizing the class
schedules take this advice into
consideration. They should lis
ten to students to know their
feelings about the current sched
ule system and listen to stu
dents’ suggestions; after all, we
are the ones paying for and tak
ing the classes.
As a student, I would like
to see a change for the better,
where not only do we have
the opportunity to choose what
classes we want to take, but also
have an opportunity to choose
the times that would work better
for us.
College life is already hard
as it is, and we do not need a
new problem to make it worse.
Furthermore, an improve
ment in the schedules would
help the students and also the
school in general, which may
help enrollment and improve the
quality of student life.
selves to a potential boss. Or we
could always take one of those
tests at the CAC.
Some of the editors took the
“what’s-the-best-career-for-you”
test our freshman year at Cal
State San Marcos. We don’t nec
essarily trust the results though.
Particularly since it turns out
that, according to one the test
one of the editor’s should have
become a nun.
Well, at least if she became
a nun she’d have free food and
room and board. That may be a
step ahead of some of us ready
to graduate.
For the most part, though,
the majority of us are opting
for graduate school, because the
real world is just a bit too uncer
tain right now.

Aggression and Education Linked
To the Editors:
Relevant to the nationwide
debate on education is the fact
that high levels of aggression in
children and poor school perfor
mance go together. “Currently
the prognosis for aggressive chil
dren is poor. Services provided
by mental health, education, and
juvenile justice agencies often
have little impact on the down
ward trajectory of aggressive
children” (Timothy A. Cavell,
‘Working with Parents of Aggres
sive Children’, page 19). I found
an effective intervention with
exceptionally aggressive ninth
graders to be telling these stu
dents, still in their formative
years, the serious consequences
of their current behavioral course
(“a life of crime and a life in
jail”) but was told that saying
such things is “taboo in public
education.” By the time it is not
taboo, it is too late. The con
sequences affect suburbanites as
well as urban communities.
Current policies are worse
than ineffective. I have found
that the vast majority of ninthgrade mathematics students in an
urban school cannot do simple
addition and subtraction that they
were supposed to have learned
in grade school. I was told to
observe the class of another
teacher, held out to me as a
model, and found him telling the
students he will give them “100
percent credit” if, in solving a
LETTER
simple equation, they just show
him the steps, even if their addi
tion, subtraction, multiplication
and division are wrong, regard
less of their answers. This is
fraud upon the public.
I have found that the main
reason the students do not know
simple addition and subtraction
or the steps in solving a simple
equation is their refusal to learn,
which is part of their aggressive
behavior (above).

Get Involved on Campus
By DUSTIN NAYLOR
Pride Staff Writer
Did you know there are
almost a hundred ways for you
to get involved on campus? Cal
State San Marcos hosts and spon
sors student clubs, organizations,
honor societies, fraternities and
sororities, and the campus com
munity as a whole, which leaves
an entire window of opportunity
open for involvement on campus.
Not interested? Then get involved
in student-based committees.
The university makes important
decisions involving you, your
education, and your campus
through means of student-based
committees. Both the univer
sity and Associated Students
Inc. sponsor these student/
faculty/administration groups in
attempts to get the student voice
heard on campus.
What if the university want
ed to increase your tuition pay
ment by $50? I believe many
students would be upset over a
student fee increase, don’t you?
What about graduation? Do you
have a voice or opinion on grad
uation this year, the next, and the
following years to come? Do you
have concerns about the ceremo
ny, the distinguished speakers,
or coordination of this sacred
event? You probably do. Are
you interested in club funding
and sponsorship? Did you know
there are student funds available
to clubs and organizations to
help campus climate, academic,
and social life here at CSUSM?
Committees address a vast array
of issues that affect every stu
dent, every day. The committee
serves as a catalyst for all these
issues; not by some university
executive, but by the undergrad
uates and faculty that educate
you.
If commencement prepara
tions or clubs don’t interest
you, there are a variety of
other committees to choose from.
University committees entail a
wide spectrum of campus issues
concerning the academic sen
ate, university student, and glob
al affairs, and academic plan
ning and policy. Also, ASI hosts
its own committees involved in
programming, communications,
fundraising, and finance.
Now the word “committee”
may seem kind of ugly to you.
Students regard these commit
tees as “a lot of work” and
“time-consuming.” The biggest
reason students give for not get
ting involved is that they “don’t
have enough time for this type
of involvement. I have work
school, a social life, kids and
parents, etc.” These are all legiti
mate reasons; however, did you
know committee membership
can be placed and recognized
on your transcripts and resumes,
give you insight into your own
education and the education of
those to follow, and serve as an
instructional guide to the innerworkings of the university? The
committee experience is great
for all majors. Whether you’re
majoring in business, arts and
sciences, or education, the com
mittee is an excellent way to
meet people, gain valuable group
skills, and actually make the
decisions that govern how we
are educated. This involvement
is also an excellent networking
strategy. The time commitments
undergraduates will sacrifice
within the committee complete
ly outweigh the limitations that
some students face.
It is simple to get involved at
CSUSM. First, come to the ASI
office (Commons 203) and fill
out an application. You will then
be given a list of different
and dynamic committees to
choose from. If you have any
questions or concerns, feel free
to call Dustin Naylor, Executive
Vice President for ASI at (760)
750-4990.
�Students React to “Humanitarian
Aid Kills People” Opinion Article
Student’s
Insight
into Issue
a Problem
To the Editors:
In response to the artiele,
“Humanitarian Aid Kills People,”
written by David Ludwig, I have
a few concerns regarding this
article’s insight about the under
lying problem.
It seems that the author of this
article was clearly influenced by
his background in biology, espe
cially about his assertion regard
ing population growth and food
production.
This theory, examined by
British economist Thomas Mai-,
thus, argued that if unchecked,
human population has the natural
capacity to expand exponentially,
while food production could only
be expected to increase at a linear
rate. Well, this theory seems to
be outdated. , We must look at this type of
problem from a cultural perspec
tive, as noted by John H. Boldley, author of Anthropology and
Contemporary Human Problems.
Boldley stated that, “It is a mis
take to assume that natural limits,
such as overpopulation, is the pri
mary cause of hunger. It is the
structural aspects of society, par
ticularly inequalities of wealth
and power in cultures* that make
food a commercial commodity
that the poor cannot afford,” This
seems to make more sense than
the comparison that Mr. Ludwig
made with humans and squir
rels.
So with that in mind, the
statement in the article that says
“people will starve in greater
numbers than would have been
possible without the humanitar
ian aid” is clearly a blind state
ment that does not address the
root of the problem. People do not
die because of humanitarian aid,
but instead it seems to be because
of ruling elite’s stronghold on
the food world’s market system.
These major corporations make
it impossible for the poor to have
access to means of basic needs for
survival. However, Mr. Ludwig
did make one good point that I
must agree on which was, “Death
is the inevitable reality of life,
and it is wrong to think that this
can be changed.”
I leave you with a quote from
Frances Moore Lappe and Joseph
Collins, authors of Food First,
Beyond the Myth o f Scarcity: “As
long as food is something bought
and sold in a society with great
income differences, the degrees
of hunger tells us nothing about
the density of the population.”
actually export more grains than
their imports. And they have the
carrying capacity to support their
population, not even mentioning
that many of the farmlands have
not yet developed.
The true causes of the hunger
in those nations are human-made
and can be reversed. It is com
pletely due to the unequal distri
bution of agricultural resource in
those nations. Also, even though
there is plenty of food, there are
many people who cannot afford
to buy it. Taking African coun
tries as examples, the elite’s con

In your article you said that by us
being humanitarians we are only
prolonging their suffering. You
are wrong.
Helping one person can
make a difference. Helping many
will make a bigger difference.
Being a humanitarian does not
only mean feeding people. It is a
way life concerned with the inter
ests of all mankind. The truth is
that there is enough food to go
around.
Today the world produces enough
grain to provide the entire pop
ulation with 3,500 calories of
energy a day. That’s more cal
ories Ilian a lot of Americans
today wish to consume. (This is
just grain products ; there are still
plenty' of other foods to be dis
tributed). Along with the popula
tion growth, so has the increase
in food production grown even
more so.
Helping people will not kill
people. The problem is the people
that think like you. The reasons
food seems to be so scarce is
due to inequality and messed up
governments. A lot of times it
is more profitable for countries
to export their edibles than to
share them amongst their people.
It is always the poor that seem to
suffer so much. And it is sad that
these people who help produce
the food are the same people who
lack it.
Mr. Ludwig is right
about the population increase.
Something must be done, but
“tough love” is not the answer.
The answer is education and basic
human rights.

Holds O ut
dated Belief
To the Editors:
Personally, I disagree with
the article regarding the potential
devastation caused from human
itarian aid, as such a belief is
based on an outdated Malthusian
naturalistic dilemma.
The belief that, in a natu
rally occurring society, popula
tion levels will grow to such
large numbers that food produc
tion deficiencies will lead to death
from starvation is a rational yet
archaic notion. A more contem
porary approach should focus on
the understanding that we live
in a commercially-driven world
where particular cultures increase
food production for profit, by the
use of fertilizer, pesticide use,
etc. To illustrate this point, an
article printed in Food First, the
institute for food and develop
ment policy, claims that, “many
of the countries where hunger is
rampant export more in agricul
tural goods than they import’’
Therefore, such faminerinduced
countries (i.e. Africa, Brazil,
India* etc.) export more agricul
turally harvested goods than they
import which proves that scarcity
is not the cause of starvation.
So, you may then ask what is
the cause of malnutrition, human
itarian dependence, and/or star
vation? Well, it’s simple; causes
of hunger are from inequality
and an ineffective democracy.
Social and economic inequalities
interfere with the inability for
individuals to feed themselves.
Economic inequalities include
the desire to increase food pro
duction, thus supporting both
political elites and commerciallydriven market forces while ensur
ing famine. Altruistic policy
methods are established by these
political elites in which knowl
edge is shared at their costs, while
coincidently increasing agricul
tural production (i.e. govemmentally controlled USAID).
Secondly, an example of
social inequalities may be the
increase of birth rates by restrict
ing women’s rights. For instance,
such countries that have managed
to lower their birth rates include
those that have established wom
en’s rights and, coincidently,
better access to education and
health care. Therefore, humans
are not like the so-called squir
rels you compared us to, in that
we have the ability to change
using such knowledge. Moreover,
since we live in a world where
food is a commodity, scarcity is
not, nor will be, the issue; rather
it is inequalities of social power
and food production limitations
in hunger-stricken countries that
needs to be assessed.

What Is the
Cause of All
of This
Destruction?
To the Editors:
I am grieved. Grieved in the
very pit of my being because
of what is before me. Grieved
because ! live in a world where
tragedy occurs, but more because
I live in a world where we don’t
consider the cause of the destruc
tion. We look superficially at
what seems to be the cause,
always with a pointed finger and
a haughty attitude.
Why don’t we consider it
inwardly with the finger pointed
back at us? What is the cause of
all of this destruction? I am not
only talking about Sept. 11, but
also the death that occurs every
day.
We send our children to
school hoping they will be safe;
it can no longer be an expecta
tion. We send our children to
school hoping they will choose to
wait until marriage to have sex; it
can no longer be expected, and in
fact they are given condoms and
instructions on safe sex.
We have killed an entire gen
eration of babies calling it our
right. Why? Do we not expect to
be treated the same? Do we not
have any respect for life? Why
do we live in a society where a
price of an egg can reach $4,000,
but the price of an abortion is free
to most? Where did the problem
begin?
We are all guilty, all of us.
If we have not partaken in one
of these acts we have done some
thing else against our neighbor.
As a country that was founded as
one nation under God, we have
been blessed. Now we see how
much we need his Grace, his
undeserved favor. We have been
pushing him out of our lives, our
homes, our work places and our
schools for the last 40 years.
Sept. 11 is an example of
what happens when a loving God
takes his hand from us for forty
minutes. You may see this as
Gods judgment.. You may ask
yourself how could a loving God
allow this to happen? I say that
is exactly why he allowed this to
happen. He is a loving God.
What happened on the 11th
is a travesty of the most heinous
kind. It happened because we
live in a world that has the abil
ity to choose between good and
evil, right and wrong. Osama bin
Laden chooses evil and we chose
wrong.
We were wrong when we
shoved the name of God, which is
Jesus, out of our schools, homes,
and lives. The God of the Bible
promises that if we repent and
turn our hearts back to him, he
will rise up and protect us. If
we will return to him he will
make his enemies perish. He
says you are either for him, or
against him.
God did not make this
happen, but he allowed it to
happen. In his mercy he pre
vented the rest of the terrorists’
plan to fail. It is my hope that
all men know the love of God,
and recognize this as a very loud
knock. How loud and how long
are we going to make him knock
before we let him back into the
heart of our nation?

Word
Choice
in Poor
Taste
Staff Letter
Dear Editors:
Referencing the article
“Amputate President Gonzalez”
in the Oct. 23 issue of The Pride,
I understand the author’s point
of view but the use of the word
“Amputate” was in poor taste
and is very inappropriate in this
case.
In today’s jittery and uneasy
environment with the anthrax
scare and all, one should be
careful in his/her use of words,
especially those that sound threat
ening. Remember Ms. Braun’s
(San Diego Unified School
District) threatening comments
towards a couple of board mem
bers?
I’m no scholastic, but the
word amputate means to severe
or to cut, as in amputate a limb.
Amputation could very well cause
someone serious physical harm.
I believe there are better choices
of words which are equally effec
tive to prove a point.

Since the Sept. 11 attacks, reserv

WWII Veteran Daniel Ashe
By STEPHANIE BAIRD
Pride Staff Writer
Last Thursday, World War II
Veteran Daniel Ashe discussed
his experiences during the war,
including his service with the 5th
Army of General Mark Clark,
where he helped liberate concen
tration camps. He titled his lec
ture, “What I Found in Europe in
the Wake of WWII.”
Born in New York City in
1925, Ashe lived through the
Great Depression of the 1930s. It
was during his elementary school
years that he learned of the begin
nings of World War II and Adolf
Hitler’s orders to send troops into
the Rhineland in 1936.
When he turned 11 years old,
Ashe said he knew he wanted
to enter the armed forces, but
he feared that the war would be
over before he was old enough to
fight.
In June of 1940, when he
was 15 years old, Ashe graduated
from high school, and entered
college, enrolling in the ROTC
program. He later joined the U.S.
Army, and was sent to Fort Benning in Georgia for his training,
which he referred to as “90 days
of hell.”
Ashe had been told that he
should never volunteer for any
thing in the Army. However when
the 5th Army of General Mark
Clark began searching for soldiers
who spoke other languages, Ashe,
who spoke French, Qerman, and
Spanish, volunteered his services.
Ashe, and other multilingual sol
diers worked together to find con
fidential war information from
the German prisoners of war.
He said he enjoyed the volunteer
work, and felt “always a little
behind the lines.” The Army later
asked him to learn Russian and
Japanese, which he learned in six
weeks.
While in Germany, Ashe
aided in liberating concentration
camps. Upon freeing the first
camp, Ashe said he was “appalled
at man’s inhumanity to man.”
Ashe witnessed the emaciated,
starving, and lice-ridden victims
of the concentration camps, and
said he realized how blessed he
was to be an American citizen. He
also witnessed the joy of the liber
ation, including two Jewish men
walking out of the camp, arguing
about whether they should go to
the U.S. or Israel. In 1945, Ashe
also helped liberate other camps
in Bavaria.
While in Munich, Ashe
became involved with the Dis
placed Person’s Commission,
which brought 350,000 people to
the US. Ashe was one of the men
in charge of deciding who could
come to the U.S. and those who
could not; those who came to
the U.S. could not havea crimi
nal record, could not have tuber
culosis, and had to prove that
they were displaced because of
the war.

By LISA LIPSEY
Pride Opinion Editor
Friday night, approximately
220 students filled the California
Center for the Arts, Escondido,
for Associated Students, Inc.’s
first masquerade ball celebrat
ing ASI’s 10th anniversary. The
evening featured a full spread
of hors d’oeuvres and desserts,
a cash bar, a disc jockey, danc
ing, and a raffle for Mardi Gras
masks and party favors. Litera
ture and writing studies major
Katrina Richert said, “This is so
much fun, butl wish they would
have told us there would be food.
We went out to dinner before
coming, and we could have saved
a lot of money.”CSUSM students
were admitted free of charge,
and non-students paid $10 to
attend the ball. The masquerade
began at 7 p.m., and guests
dressed in tuxedos, suits, and
ball gowns. The last guests left
around 12:15 a.m. “We decided
on a masquerade theme because
the original date was closer
to Halloween time. When the
date changed, advertising was
already out,” said Chris Smith,
ASI Afternoon Activities Chair
man. “I would like to have seen
more Latinos at the dance, but
other than that, it was a lot of fun
to be with the campus commu
nity,” said Caty Angeles, a staff
member for college of arts and
science advising.
Most of the masqueraders
arrived by 9:30 p.m. “The turn
out could be better,” said Smith,
*but then again, if I wasn’t help
ing with organizing the event,
I wouldn’t be here yet; more
people will start to show up
around 10 p.m.” Throughout the
evening, ASI photographers took
pictures of friends and couples,
apd guests either dined at tables
or danced on the dance floor.
These pictures will be available
for purchase online at the
CSUSM website.
Kids o f all ages enjoyed dancing.

Lawsuits Against
University
By MARTHA SARABIA
Pride Staff Writer
Four new discrimination
lawsuits were filed against
CSUSM in October, adding
to’ the growing list of dis
crimination lawsuits filed by
employees against the school.
Phyllis Ferguson, a mainte
nance mechanic, and three
accountants, Kim Gomez,
Tricia C. Frady, and Cecilia
Boze, are the newest CSUSM
employees filing lawsuits alleg
ing racial and/or sexual
discrimination.
Ferguson filed charges
against CSUSM at Superior
Court in Vista on Oct. 31.
Some of the charges Ferguson
alleges in her lawsuit include
racial and gender discrimina
tion, retaliation, defamation,
negligence, and assault and
battery.
Thomas Blair, director of
Facilities; Chuck Walden,
associate director of Facilities;
Mike Rivera, lead carpenter of
Facility Services; Tim Shine,
building systems engineer of
Facility Services; Rick Fish,
lead locksmith of Facilities,
and CSUSM are the defen
dants in this case.
Ferguson declined com
ment about her lawsuit, saying,
“I have been advised by my
lawyer to make no comments.”
Her attorney was unavailable
to make any comments before
press time.
In her lawsuit files, Fer
guson claims that she was
denied wage increases, pro
motion, job training and edu
cational career opportunities
afforded to Caucasian employ
ees. She also claims that,
because she is African Ameri
can, she was continuously sub
jected to different regulation,
rules, and standards than her
Caucasian counterparts.
Ferguson also alleges that
she'was forced to use a Porta-Potty instead of an indoor
bathroom facility made avail
able to male co-workers. Fur
thermore, she claims to believe
that her sex was a substantial
factor, if not the sole factor,
in CSUSM’s discriminatory
treatment, according to court
files.
Thomas Blair, director of
Facilities, could not be reached
for comment after The Pride
left messages at his office and
via e-mail.
Chuck Walden, another,
defendant in Ferguson’s law
suit, told The Pride to contact
Rick Moore and declined to
make any comment.

The 22nd District Agricul
tural Asspciation hosted Enviro
Fair 2001 at the Del Mar Fair
grounds Friday. The event show
cased environmental, recycling
and sustainable resource exhibi
tors along with such well known
associations as Surf Rider, Sierra
Club, and I Love a Clean San
Diego. “This is a great oppor
tunity to meet professionals in
various fields and to learn about
things we can all do to improve
the place we live in,” said Nancy
Strauss, resource coordinator for
the Agricultural Association; She
added, “this event is about gath
ering and sharing information education is part of our mission
statement.”
One of the more interesting
exhibits featured a project from
Greg Quirin’s auto shop class at
James Madison High School in
Clairemont. Quirin, with the help
of assistant Dan McKinley, and
student leader Jeannette Greary
converted a 1983 diesel Volvo
sedan to run entirely on used
vegetable oil. “It may smell like
french fries”, Quirin said, “but
we’re getting 25 miles to the
gallon,”
The aptly named ‘Veggie
Volvo’ has emissions drastically
lower than any regular gas or
diesel-powered auto, making it
a much more environmentally
responsible alternative. The veg
etable oil, when mixed with lye
and methanol, forms biodiesel,
a fuel whose only by-product is
glycerin and consequently emits
40 to 60 percent lower emissions
than-common pollutants such as
carbon monoxide.
“Since most restaurants pay
significant disposal fees, to have
their cooking oil periodically
removed,” Quirin said, “they are
happy to have us take it away
for free.” He noted the cost of
biodiesel is “just over 50 cents a
gallon.” Quirin explained ‘hat a
t
large restaurant will use 500 gal
lons of oil a month, 90 percent
of which can be used to make
biodiesel. With the success of
the Veggie Volvo, Quirin is now
at work on converting a smaller
Volkswagen Rabbit hoping it
will achieve 45 to 50 miles per
gallon.
More than 30 companies and
organizations, including both the
city and county of San Diego,
took part in the one-day fair,
which also held a recycled art
contest for San Diego artists.
Strange and fascinating creations
assembled entirely from recycled
products greeted fairgoers upon
arrival. A
Using materials ranging from
the commonplace: bottles, cans,
wood, stained glass, screens,
cardboard, and newspapers, to
the quirky: bicycle and car parts,
chicken and turkey bones, and
even animal hair, artists con
structed a wide range of pro
vocative pieces. One artist had
crocheted hundreds of recycled
plastic shopping bags into a large
abstract form, while another fash
ioned a life-size cactus out of
wine corks.

showed the film “The Panama

tation Ricardo Favela, a member
of MEChA and M.U.D.P. spoke
briefly about the content of the
film and introduced a speaker
from M.U.D.P., Hector Muro.
. Following the presentation,
a dozen students discussed the
film and related it to the present
war in Afghanistan. Many stu
dents discussed the idea that the
media and the government may
be imposing more anti-Ameri
can biases with new stories on
the anthrax wave and the possi
ble connection with terrorism.
WWII Veteran Speaks
»A rticle cont. from page 1
After seeing the devastation
of inhumanity in the concentration
camps and the destruction of
Munich, Ashe said, “My hatred
of everything German was quite
intense.” It wasn’t until decades
later that he questioned his hatred
when he saw German student tour
ists on a bus in New York. He said
he realized that he could not hate
the younger generations that had
nothing to do with WWII.
Ashe returned to the U.S. in
1952, and now lives in San Diego
with his wife, Bernice. Ashe briefly
discussed America’s current war
against terrorism, saying, “like
now, WWII was a unifying event.”
He ended his lecture, by asking the
students whether or not this gener
ation is ready for war.

truthful the government actually
is and what citizens may or may
not know. “Honestly I think it’s a
really pissed-off white guy,” said
Harris, in regards to the recent
anthrax attacks.
Students also discussed the
idea that students need to be
very critical of what they are
reading in newspapers and mag
azines and what they hear on the
radio. “You need to be critical of
what is going on around you and
now more than ever attempt to
discover the truth through other
sources,” said Muro.
One student suggested rais
ing awareness by joining groups,
both on and off college cam
puses, that work to improve
social conditions. One such
group on campus is the Progres
sive Activists’ Network, started
by Erik Roper in an attempt to
educate students about campaign
clubs, and to the San Diego
Coalition for Peace and Justice,
another organization that is cur-:
rently attempting to educate
everyone about today’s events
and to look at all sides of the
war.
According to a student, these
groups by no means wish to
demean events such as the trage
dies of Sept. 11, but want people^
to see that there are more sides
and to question all establish
ments involved, and their pur
poses for their involvements.

Technology Comes
> to Campus
By KIMBERLY BOYARSKY
Pride Staff Writer
On Thursday, the campus
will be flooded with the newest
and latest of the high-tech world,
courtesy of CSUSM’s annual
Technology Fair. For those who
are still having problems with
minor things like turning on the
computer, or tuning in to sta
tions on the radio, there will
be plenty of techies who can
explain exactly how everything
works. The event aims to pro
vide students, faculty and staff
with a view and insight to the
technological services and appa
ratuses available at CSUSM.
The Technology Fair is open
to anyone who is interested in
attending, and guests are wel
come to come and get a firsthand look at the newest advances
offered in the world of edu
cation; this technology assists
those in positions of adminis
tration and teaching, and assists
students with the learning pro
cess.
Professors and faculty mem
bers will demonstrate how
web-based classes are working
successfully for a variety of stu
dents. The faculty members are
also expected to show all of the
course development tools used
in the web-based courses offered
to CSUSM students.
One of the new and exciting
additions to the fair is desktop
videoconferencing. Demonstra
tions of desktop videoconfer
encing and how it works, and
how it is being used on campus
to create virtual meetings, are
scheduled. The technology aims
to make life at CSUSM more
enjoyable and convenient.
Students will experience,
firsthand, the most recent tech
nological advancements, and the
inventions and outbreaks of tech
nology that were created by
members of the campus. Stop by
the Technology Fair on Thurs
day, Nov. 15 in Commons 206,
from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

included the oldest and youngest

According to Lee, CSUSM Chief

Marcos. Many are students.
The Veterans’ Day celebra
tion at CSUSM has evolved over
the years. Last year, veterans
on campus celebrated Veterans’
Day with a cake-cutting cere
mony, and at the beginning of
this semester, veterans held a
Veterans’ Barbeque at the Dome
Plaza.
Associated Student, Inc.
(ASI) and the CSUSM Veter
ans’ Association sponsored the
event. The Veterans’ Associa
tion began organizing for Mon
day’s celebration two weeks ago,
which is also the same time the
association began. “It’s amaz
ing that all of this has come
together in such a short period
of time,” said Lee. The associa-.
tion, whose mission is to “unify
all past, present, or future veter
ans,’* includes retired veterans,
active duty, reservists, military
dependents, and students inter
ested in the advocacy of veter
ans’ affairs on a campus, local,
state, and/or national level.
Lee added that the
association would get together
to critique the celebration, and
prepare for future events on
campus. For more information,

�Professor T ranslates A h Q u in ’s D iary
By ANN BENING
Pride Staff Writer
An earnest Chinese immi
grant, bom in Kaipnig, Guandong, made his way into the new
world with his pen and his blank
pages as his faithful friends. The
history of this Chinese immi
grant is brought to life on the
pages of Ah Quin’s Diary.
Literature and Writing Pro
fessor, Dr. Susie Cassel, who won
the Distinguished Professor of
the Year Award for 2000-2001,
took on the challenge of tran
scribing these diaries. Cassel
worked on the project with
Murray Lee, curator of ChineseAmerican History at the San
Diego Historical Society. ^
“The message these diaries
reveal,” said Cassel, “begins as
a travel ledger/book of growth
unfolding into a story of a selfmade man turned entrepreneur,
assimilating in America.”
Ah Quin’s Diary covers three
distinct phases of his life, includ
ing his life in Alaska, where he
worked as a cook for coal miners
from 1877-1879, his time in San
Francisco, where he worked as a
servant and cook for U S. mili
tary officers 1880, and his life in
San Diego. 4
In San Diego, from 1884
until 1902, Quin worked as a
recruiter for the railroad and
eventually became a successful
entrepreneur, community leader
and patriarch who bridged the
gap between the Chinese and the
white establishment of his day,
according to Cassel.
Quin immigrated to the U.S.
in 1863 when he was 15 years old.
With his knowledge of English,
which he learned through a mis
sionary school in China, Quin
began a daily record of his life for
25 years. During these years, he
produced 10 volumes and 1,200
pages of valuable information,
which he methodically devel
oped. He included the Roman
Calendar, as well as the Chinese
date, making sure he never forgot
to include his Chinese origins.
The diaries appeared to be
small enough to fit into a shirt
pocket, some on lined paper and
some on blank paper. Aspects of
the diary include copied Biblical
verses and a daily recording of
the weather, along with journal
entries. He also wrote with both
his left and right hand.
Cassel’s interest peaked when
she was told of this 19th century
diary written by a Chinese immi
grant in the English language.
She was aware that nothing like
this existed in the current AsianAmerican literary cannon. She
received permission to publish a
critical edition, in which other
researchers could access to this
work. *
“The interdisciplinary (indepth view of document to attain
valuable information) diaries
have value in a number of dif
ferent academic fields because of
the information regarding Quin
and his society at that moment in
time,” said Cassel.
Historians are interested in
confirming some of the details
concerning work on the Central
Pacific Railroad. Linguists are
interested in Quin’s grammatical
and syntactical use of the Eng
lish language and the evidence of
code switching in Chinese. Soci
ologists are interested in the life
style of a man in the Chinese
bachelor community during the
Chinese Exclusion Era of 1882.
“As editor of the critical edi
tion and one of the first inter
preters of the Work, I see more
clearly that the context in which
I situate the diary, the excerpts
I choose, the interpretations I
render here at the start, are sig
nificantly influencing the ways
others receive and respond to this

text,” said Cassel.
When asked how this project
has affected her, Cassel said,
“I think that working with Ah
Quin’s Diary has given me a
greater appreciation for the
importance and value of primary
texts. “

�This Holiday Season, Don’t Stuff the Turkey
Mia’s Thai Salad
The Latest Craze in
San Marcos:
Bubble Tea
By Mia ALIO
Pride Staff Writer
LIVE, LOVE, EAT! The motto of many lives
including my own. Most of my friends and family
would describe me as an eccentric person. I have
many different tastes in fashion, film, and clothes.
But my most favorite eccentric style is that in my
choice of food. I love to eat and cook! I would like
to share an exciting new recipe for all of you who
are not afraid to experience the blend of various
foods that will have the pallet of your tongue beg
ging for more. The following recipe is my own cre
ation. It was inspired by my love of Thai cuisine.
It is a salad that contains ingredients from all of
the major food groups, with a dressing that makes
it an eccentric delight! Mia’s Thai salad calls for a
grilled boneless chicken breast, fresh greens (your
choice), carrots, bean sprouts (optional), noodles
(they don’t have to be Thai, they can even be spa
ghetti), cilantro, peanut butter, rice vinegar, milk,
lemon juice, soy sauce, sugar (or sugar substitute),
ginger, and sesame seeds (optional).
You will need:
V cup noodles
2
It is best to already have the noodles cooked
and chilled
1 1/2 cup mixed greens
1 carrot
V cup bean sprouts
2
1 boneless grilled (plain) chicken breast ( we
all know how to grill a chicken breast, right?)
Spread the fresh chopped greens on a plate, cut
the chicken in a desired fashion and lay it on top the
greens, arrange julienne (sliced thin) carrots and
bean sprouts in mounds at four sides of the plate,
build the noodles on top of the chicken and put the
dish aside to make the dressing.
2 tbsp.- peanut butter (reduced fat if your
“skinny” jeans aren’t fitting)
1 tbsp, milk
2 tbsp. rice vinegar
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. sugar ( or l a packet of sugar substi
A
tute)
Vi tsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. ginger (it is best to grate a fresh ginger
root)
Briskly whisk these ingredients together in a
bowl. Taste buds always make the best judgment
in any needed altejations, so finger dip and lick to
adjust the sweetness of this dressing. After your
dressing is whisked smooth, drizzle its contents
over your plated salad. Add desired amount of fresh
chopped cilantro; also, it’s quite good if you add
chopped peanuts and/or sesame seeds.
The ingredients sound as if they don’t mix, but
to my lucky taste testing victims of the past, they
do! So give it a try, and remember - cook at your
own risk.

Bubble Tea, a small business in San Marcos,
is attracting many students from CSUSM and
local high schools. Bubble Tea is a teahouse
that offers hundreds of different drinks, includ
ing fruit slush drinks, cappuccinos, and tapioca
drinks.
I have tried all the San Diego teahouses,
but none of them can surpass the taste available
at San Marcos’ Bubble Tea, where they have
turned tea into a work of art.
The tapioca drink is unique. Many Asian
people refer to the drink as boba, which is
smooth and soft - the consistency actually
resembles soft, plastic bubbles. The tapioca
drink is a combination of gelatin and a special
type of flour with sugar. It’s very chewy and
tasty, and adds a unique twist to all the types of
drinks that Bubble Tea offers.
Although Bubble Tea is quite unique to this
area, there are many type of businesses like this
around the world. However, they originated in
several Asian countries, where tea is popular
among young people.
The San Marcos business started three
months ago, and draws about 300 customers
each week. According to owner James Wu, the
number of customers multiplies by three every
week. He also said that he has never advertised,
and that people hear of his business by word of
mouth.
The next time you want an alternative to
Starbucks and are thinking of trying something
less costly, try Bubble Tea’s variety drinks.
Most people are afraid of change, but believe
me, this type of change will open up a whole
new avenue for you.
Bubble Tea is located in front of San Marcos
High School, in the Vons shopping center.

Don’t Be Afraid of
Virginia Woolf”
By CHRIS ING
Pride Staff Writer
The San Diego Repertory
Theatre’s choice of cast for
Edward Albee’s classic “Who’s
Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”
brings a feeling of deja vu.
Just as Director Mike Nichols
cast Richard Burton against wife
Elizabeth Taylor in his 1962 film
version of the play (an event
which would ultimately lead to
their first divorce), so too do
we find Ellen Crawford playing
opposite her own husband, Mike
Genovese, in the lead roles of the
San Diego Rep’s recent incarna
tion.
For those among us who
have grown weary of the lack
luster performances of the talk
ing head actors who dominate
the televised spheres of politics
and war these days, “Virginia
Woolf’ provides a refreshingly
welcome reprieve. Albee named
his play after seeing those words
scrawled across a wall in a
graffiti-covered bathroom - the
title itself becomes a sing-song
refrain of the lead characters.
Set on a small campus in
middle America, the story
revolves around an older couple,
Martha (Crawford),* the brash,
seductive, devil-tongued daugh
ter of the local university’s presi
dent and George (Genovese), a
weary but willing history pro-
Fraternrty House, Inc.
Keepingtave Aitve
fessor who Counters Martha’s
invectives with witty retorts of
his own.
Following a liquor-soaked
faculty party, Martha invites
the handsome and eager Nick
(Peter Friedrich), a fledging
biology professor and newcom
er to the school, and his pleas
antly dim-witted wife Honey
(Carla Harting), back to her and
George’s house for an unforget
table evening of education.
In her role as the dynamo
Martha, Crawford, best known
as Nurse Lydia Wright from
TV’s “ER”, exudes energy and
vigor, whether snarling menac
ingly at George or sensually coo
ing at Nick. She does not toss
any line away but instead plumbs
the subtleties in the depths of
Martha’s persona.
Genovese, having stepped up
as George late in the game after
a bicycle accident displaced the
original actor, does an admirable
job toeing the fine line between
love and hate that seems to char
acterize George’s marriage to
Martha. The air often bristles
with electricity between the two
as their rapid-fire jabs move the
play quickly along.
George and Martha, married
for 23 years, reveal the complex
ities and vagaries inherent in a
long-term relationship. On the
surface, their remarks to each
other are coyly antagonist, care
fully constructed for maximum
damage, at tirfies hurtful. Yet
beneath that barbed veneer, their
love for one another is evident.
Their words carry the weight of
dreams unrealized, each holding
the other responsible, but know
ing ultimately they have found
their mate.
In her understated treatment
of the tipsy and blissfully igno
rant Honey, UCSD graduate
Carla Harting provides a per
petual comic backdrop to the
tension of Martha and George.
Her open-mouthed looks of dis
belief and awe create a hilarious
vision of a drunken woman we
all have known.
While Martha toys with the
jocular Nick, who hopes to curry
favor with the president’s daugh
ter, George plots his next move
in ‘the game’ with no help from
the comically inept (and increas
ingly drunken) Honey. As night
slowly turns to day, the char
acters reveal more about them
selves and more about the human
condition. Out in the audience we
learn about love, relationships,
life. And you can’t get that on
CNN.

For about an hour and a half,
“The Panama Deception,” a doc
umentary film, showed students
several sides of the invasion of
Panama by United States troops
at midnight of Dec. 20,1989.
What students learned about
was more than just three warfilled days in history. The
students that attended the film
learned that the attack also
served to test new stealth fight
ers and laser-guided missiles as
preparation for future wars, like
the Gulf War that began in 1991.
They also saw that there are
still questions to this day in
regards to exactly why it hap
pened and why the government
has supposedly lied about the
major details and kept them
from the Amer-
ican
people.
T he
supposed
reasoning
behind the
attack was
to uphold
the safety of Americans by
attempting to capture dictator
Manuel Noriega. The U.S. media
portrayed Noriega as a drug traf
ficker and a forceful and oppres
sive ruler. In 1989, the U.S.
government claimed it was pro
tecting the people of Panama
from him.
However, the film also
showed that the presence of our
military in the country was more
about maintaining control over
the Panama Canal and to force
our government upon them.
According to a 1903 treaty,
the U.S. was supposed to have
vacated all military bases in
the country, and Panama was
supposed to regain control ,of
the Canal by 2000. The treaty
changed after the 1989 invasion
to allow the U.S. government
more freedom in Panama.
According to the movie,
American troops invaded lowerclass communities like El Churjllo, Colon and San Miguelito
because ‘
they were less likely to
have any way of retaliating.
From some of the citizens’
perspective, the attack was unex
pected, uncalled for, and a highly
illegal act of genocide. They had
no idea why this was happening
to them, and many of them were
forced out of their homes by
troops, sent to the Balboa con
centration camp, and detained.
Eyewitnesses have made
claims that innocent citizens,
many of them men from the ages
of 15 to 22, were taken to mass
graves and executed. According
to other eyewitnesses, the U.S.
military at the front entrance of
the camp gunned down about
eight citizens. The number of
deaths from the Panama attack is
still thought to be anywhere from
2,500 to 4,000. The government
and media claimed only 2 5 0

�Spanish Theatre Students
Perform in ProfessorWritten Play,
“Dona Criba”
By LISA LIPSEY
Pride Opinion Editor
Since the fall semester
began, the students of Dr. Carlos
von Son’s Spanish theatre class,
Viva el Teatro' have been busy
producing and rehearsing for an
original theater production titled
“Dona Criba.” The play tells the
fictional story of Dona Criba, a
telephone operator who serves
as the center “nerve” of a small
town in central Mexico during
the early 1980s.
The play is entirely in Span
ish and was written by von Son.
“This play is a metaphor for me,
the playwright, and contains ele
ments of social criticism through
comedy,” said von Son.
To accommodate non-Span
ish speakers in the audience,
the students will provide writ
ten translations, as well as a
recorded narrative in English,
which some of the audience may
hear using headphones.
Students have also been
working to raise money to fund
the costs for costumes, setting
construction, and other produc
tion costs. For many of the stu
dents, this is the first time they
will act in front of a live audi
ence.
Lydia Contreras, a Spanish
major cast in the role of Prudencia, said, “I hope that we will
do a good job, because I feel a
little rushed. But I know we will
do well and that we will have a
full house on both nights of the
play”
The students will perform
“Dona Criba” Thursday, Dec. 7
and Friday, Dec. 8 at 7 p.m. at
the Visual and Performing Arts
Annex on La Moree Road. The
play is free and open to the
public.

Pride Opinion Editor
With only four other people
in the theatre (not including two
friends and myself) it seems
that “Riding in Cars with Boys”
was not the best choice out of
the films we could have sj&
en.
However, my friend Kelly raved
about it for days and insisted on
taking us with her for her second
look at the film.
Based on the autobiography
with the same^itle, “Riding in
Cars with Boys,” stars Drew
Barrymore. Barrymore’s perfor
mance immediately drew me
into the film (no pun intended),
proving that she is awesome at
her craft, but far too often takes
on crummy roles.
Barrymore plays Beverly,
who as a teenager, dreams of
becoming a writer (. .. this is
part of why I liked the film so
much) only to find her dreams
tom apart by an accidental preg
nancy. (The baby was conceived
in the backseat of her boyfriend’s
car). As she grows up and is
somewhat raised by her son,
she tries to come to terms with
her life and how to become a
mother.
The film begins with a look
at Barrymore at age 35 and her
20-year-old son, and then flashes
back to her in eighth grade (in
the 1960s). It then follows her
life up through her son’s eighth
birthday. Truthfully, there is
one hole in the plot: as the film
switches back and forth from
past to present, we find out that
Beverly has finally succeeded
as a writer, and has written an
autobiography. The problem is
that audience never actually sees
Barrymore’s character working
on her book, nor do we learn
what happened with her son from
age eight to age 20.
Directed by Penny Marshall,
“Riding in Cars with Boys” is
labeled as a comedy. Still, Mar
shall, who is an expert in conveyinghuman emotions in her films,
carefully crafted a delicate bal
ance between comedyand trag
edy. The film will leave viewers
with laughter to the point of a
side ache and tears.
Viewer Hooked
on Fox’s “24”
Dennis Haysbert stars as Senator Palmer in “24, '-(Courtesy Photo/Fox)
By MELANIE ADDINGTON
Pride Editor
What can be done in the
space of 24 hours? For one show,
it will take an entire season to
find out. “24” premiered on Fox
last Tuesday. The title is indic
ative of the major plot device
for each show; it’s shot in real
time, one hour of 24 each Tues
day night.
The idea behind “24” was
simple; take a terrorist squad and
focus on the events that unfold
over the course of a 24-hour
period. The excitement picks up
early in the show, as we are
introduced to the main charac
ters, both the good guys and bad
guys.
However, the most appeal
ing character is good guy Kiefer
Sutherland as lead, Jack Bauer.
Bauer is a family man dealing
with Kimberly’s (his teenage
daughter) rebellion and the
recent restoration (they had been
separated) of his marriage to
Teri (Leslie Hope of the upcom
ing film, “Dragonfly”),
At work, Bauer struggles
with his ex-affair Nina Myers
(Sarah Clarke of “Ed”) and the
threat of terrorist attack (most
recently, the threat against Sen
ator David Palmer, a presiden
tial candidate in Los Angeles.)
Dennis Haysbert, best
known for his mad science cre
ator role in “Now and Again”,
plays Palmer. Haysbert has been
in countless films and is extraor
dinarily gifted and a pleasure to
watch on the screen. The senator
is hardly seen the first hour but
is presented as a good guy
with his wife by his side. He
works hard with his speech
writer at midnight to put together
the next day’s words, but then
receives a mysterious phone call.
A reporter asks him something
that outrages him, but when,
asked by his wife, he refuses to
tell. What is it that he is hiding
and how does it tie into the ter
rorist plot?
In the first show, Suther
land’s character manages to play
chess with his daughter (played
by Elisha Cuthbert of Nick
elodeon’s “Are You Afraid of
the Dark”), catches her running
away, goes into work, reveals
that he was having an affair,
shoots a man with a tranquilizer
gun, calls his wife a few times,
and solves part of a crime com
mitted by a CIA co-worker. Not
bad for one hour. Nevertheless,
can the shows creators keep up
the pace or will interest begin to
wane somewhere in the twelfth
hour?
Many of the shots were
grainy and in odd angles to show
a more realistic look, while cam
eras shot the same scene from
two to .four angles to give the
audience the upper hand. But
Television
REVIEW
will the realistic look continue?
How realistic will it seem when
Bauer is up for 24 hours and still
looks refreshed? Will Suther
land want to spend half a season
looking haggard? Will one show
be the “nap show” where we
watch Sutherland and his wife in
slumber? Can the realistic look
go too far? Will it end up as
annoying as “Survivor?”
Meanwhile, I await tonight’s
second show, knowing that no
matter what the answers to my
many questions, I am hooked
and am sure you will be if you
watch.
Why am I hobked? For the
same reason the shows’ premiere
was postponed until now. The
opening sequence showed twin
towers in Asia, where a terror
ist is planning an assassination
plot on the first black presiden
tial candidate in America. Ter*
rorism and twin towers as your
opening sequence is quite risky
for a show, but “24” risks even
more. JVith a plane explosion
in the last ten minutes of the
show, the appeal for many Amer
icans may have been lost. How
ever, the smart ones will stick
around.
If you want to find out more,
the web site, www.fox.com/24
sticks •with the format of the tv
show and allows viewers a way
to interact with the characters
and the CIA files. Information
on the characters, plot and back
ground can be found; for exam
ple, on the CIA files link: “What

“24” can be seen on Fox on
Tuesdays at 9 p.m.

Student Outraged About Change
in Payment Plan

By CONSTANCE CHUA
Pride Staff Writer

Dear Veterans,
It is not often enough that we come together
To say our thanks to each of you,
So it is with great respect that I address this letter:
Thank you for your courage:
For courage is not the opposite of fear,
Courage is taking action despite fear.
Thank you for your internal struggles:
The battle between heart and mind...
Mind desiring the best for our nation, heart desiring peace.
Thank you for our freedom:
I cannot imagine the nightmares many of you have lived,
So I can freely live the American Dream.
We owe you more than a day of celebration,
We owe you more than a day of remembrance,
We owe you a lifetime of humility.
Sincerely, Safe and Free

Editors’ Note: The needed information was sent to the pride e-mail
by Rick Moore and then forwarded
to Constance Chua three weeks
ago.
This semester I encountered
multiple problems with the new
payment plan option that our
school executed. I have encoun
tered and interviewed some people
who had experienced the same
grief and stress that I have.
However this semester, the com
mittee responsible for the payment
plan implementation has made yet
another amendment to the pre
viously set payment option plan;
four weeks ago, The Pride was
informed of the new changes.
I was very curious about the
changes the administration was
going to make, so I decided to
take on an article, hoping to share
this new information to all of the
students here at CSUSM. How
ever on Oct. 16 when I spoke to
Paul Tiglao, an employee in the
Cashier’s Office, regarding these
changes, he told me that he knew
Response to “Humanitarian Aid Kills”
I would like to start out by saying
that decreasing the world’s population
will not increase our food supply..
We already have more than enough
food to feed every single person on
this planet comfortably. The problem
is not scarcity of food, but how the
food is being distributed. The global
economy has one primary motive, and
that is profit. Many countries cannot
increase their food supply because
of inefficient ownership of resources.
There are centralized political author
ities that have control over resources
like food. The use and production of
these resources are taken out of the
hands of the local people and into the
hands of these authorities.
World ^hunger also comes from
impersonal market forces. The market
demand for export crops increases to
satisfy the needs of far-off consum
ers, rather than the local needs. For
example, it is more lucrative to pro
duce chocolate than to produce grains
in a country that depends economi
cally on exports.
An article from Food First called
“The Myth - Scarcity, The Reality There is Enough Food,” goes into great
detail about our global food supply.

The authors report that, “according to
the Food and Agriculture Organiza
tion of the United Nations, gains in
food production since 1950 have kept
ahead of population growth in every
region except Africa. The American
Association for the Advancement of
Science found in a 1997 study that 78
percent of all malnourished children
under five in the developing world live
in countries with food surpluses.” In
Africa, the food producers are cut out
of the economic decisions affecting
their survival. As far as supplying aid
to countries, it does come at a price.
A lot of aid programs are not free, the
government pays for it, or there are
conditions that the countries have to
meet in order to receive aid.
In conclusion, it really does not
make sense to correlate food consump
tion with increased populations. The
argument that, with increased popula
tions the food supply decreases, does
not hold true. In developed countries
we see a decrease in birth rates and
with increased resources we see the
opposite, more deaths than birth rates.
Sincerely,

the changes, but refused to tell
me what they were because Rick
Moore, of External Affairs, had to
finalize everything.
Tiglao also said, “Call me back
sometime next week. Maybe Rick
Moore is done reviewing it, and
then I can give you the informa
tion.” And I responded, “Sure, but
keep in mind some students need
to be informed of the new pay
ment plan because the registration
is fairly soon.” And Mr. Tiglao
responded, “Sure, but I cannot tell
you anything because Mr. Moore
has to take a look at the changes
first, o.k.”
I e-mailed Rick Moore that
week, but received no response
from him either.
I don’t know about you guys,
but it seems to me that the school
administration could care less
about the paying customers they
have, the students. As a student
here, I have the right to know about
these changes whether I write for
The Pride or not. But the admin
istration that is involved in these
changes is certainly just taking its
sweet time and refusing to provide
pertinent information for everyone
else.
Last week our schedule was
available at the bookstore, so pay
attention to your payment plan
changes. Do you think it’s much
better than last semester? Say
something - don’t just look at it
and ignore the problem.
I have been attending this uni
versity since 1997, and I was in
most of your shoes thinking that I
would never have any problems but I did this semester.
We need to be united and peti
tion to get a system that can take
care of us. We negd to have an
ombudsman, who will be our medi
ator between the school system
and ourselves, or simply a group
of students that will fight for our
rights as students and paying cus
tomers.
The administration needs to
communicate properly so that it
can better serve us. Sure, we under
stand that our school is on its
way to becoming more diverse and
expanding the institution to pro
vide excellence in our education,
but do it the right way with little
or no grief to the students. The
bottom line is to pay close atten

Opinion
Reviewing the PC
(Pathetically Correct) Movement
By JAMES NEWELL
Staff Writer
Recently, a letter ran in
the student newspaper that
accentuated the horribly
offensive “Battle of the
Sexes;” it surprised me how
deeply affective The Pride
can be to readers.
I didn’t realize the rami
fications of such tawdry fun
until I was driving down
the 78 freeway, idly thinking
(yes, I can do two things at
once). I wondered why and
how a column in the opinion
(we all have one) page could
cause such distress in some
readers, when I came to a
red light. I apologize; I mean
a stoplight - I don’t want
to bring color into this. No,
actually let’s just call it a traf

exclude the “go” component,
and I don’t want to offend
anyone (Oh, and let me apolo

Anyway, back to the issue
concerning the “Battle of the

the question of audience.

In an attempt to find and
create well-rounded student lead
ers on campus, the Office of Stu
dent and Residential Life has
created the Emerging Leaders
Program. The ELP is designed to
help first-time freshman explore
their individual capabilities and
prepare them for leadership posi
tions on campus and in the
community. Hopeful leaders are
taught that, through exploring
self-definition and personal
development strategies, they can
gain the knowledge and insight
that will carry them as leaders
throughout the rest of their lives.
The program is co-coordinated by Jonathan Poullard, dean
of students, and Cara Appel-Silbaugh, coordinator of New Stu
dent Programs and Greek Life.
The voluntary program, in its
first year, is offered to freshman
and meets in 2-hour sessions, 12
weeks out of the semester. ELP
has 12 members.
Poullard describes the focus
of the program as an effort to
“move students from the con
sciousness of the selfto global cit
izenship, while maintaining the
core values of the institution.
We’re using the seven C’s leader
ship model, based on a program
developed by colleagues across
the nation and which runs out
of UCLA.” Both facilitators have
taught similar classes; Poullard
at Occidental College and Penn
State, and Silbaugh at Pitt and
Bowling Green University.

Last Game of the
Season Cancelled
By MARTHA SARABIA
Pride Staff Writer
On Sunday, Nov. 4, the last game
of the season for the CSUSM men’s
soccer team was cancelled by USC.
The game was to take place at USC.
“We drove all the way there, but the
USC team never showed up,” said
Coach Khalid Al-shafie.
“The game did not take place due
to the USC’s coach’s decision to
cancel the game because o f incli
mate weather.” Brad Schmidt, Club
Services Technician for Associated
Students Inc., confirmed that the
game was cancelled because of the
rainy weather.
However, neither Cal State San
Marcos nor Al-shafie was ndtified
about the cancellation. “I don’t
know what happened, said Al-shafie.
“They didn’t call...” Schmidt, who
was at a conference that Sunday
and was not notified about the can
cellation, said, “The USC coach
neglected to contact anyone from
Soccer players at CSUSM\ (Courtesy Photo/Sports Dept)
our school about this ... The game
was confirmed by me the Thursday
before I left town [the week of the
scheduled game}.”
Schmidt also added that one of the
reasons that USC failed to contact
CSUSM about the cancellation may
have been USC’s new coach, who is
both a-student and a player. “It was
an unfortunate occurrence because
our CSUSM soccer team was ready
to play,” 'said Schmidt. “It could
have concluded the season as a win
ning one at 5-4-1 instead of 4-4-1.”
Schmidt said he believed the soccer
team’s season was successful. “They
won four hard battles and lost two
by the slightest of margins against
some pretty decent collegiate com
petition,” said Schmidt.
Al-shafie added, “We are very
excited about our prospects going
into next year with a high number of
returning players, and the continued
support of ASL”
Schmidt projects that the team’s
final, overall placement will be third
out of the five or six teams in the
league. The official league standings
were not available by press time.

Cal State San Marcos’, surf team placed fourth out
of 25 teams in the National Scholastic Surfing Associ
ation’s Southwest Conference at the Ventura C Street
Pipes. In the event, held Oct. 28, CSUSM’s Julie Russel,
a shortboarder, placed fourth for the college women’s
division, and Dustin Franks placed fifth in the longboard. The team includes team captain Chris Darrah,
shortboarders Scott Chebegia, Colin Hanel,* Dave Kincannon, Ryan Leonardy, Ryan McHenry, and bodyboarder Chris Erdos.
The team held tryouts Oct. 13 at the Carlsbad State
Beach. The tryouts attracted a total of 14 students, and
nine surfers were chosen. Currently the team practices
by playing scrimmages against Miracosta College.
Competition is nothing new to the majority of the
members. “We are very fortunate to have a teafti headed
by players who have been in several NSSA competi
tions,” said Professor Amber Puha of the mathematics
department. Puha created the team with the help of
Associated Students, Inc. this past summer.
As soon as the team gets a larger budget, Puha said
she will organize a second team that will serve as a
developmental program to foster new surfing talent. Stu*
dent Erik Runsvold will be the captain of that team,
and the women’s shortboarder will be Jamie Tomei, who
placed second in the tryouts.
The actual competitions are similar to track and
field because both have “heats.” One heat includes six
players, and only three may advance to the next round.
Each player has 15 minutes to catch 12 waves, and the
top three scores are used for final scoring.
Scoring is subjective and will include both the indi
vidual and team score. An athlete can either advance
or not, without penalizing the team. The team receives
points based on the placement of the athlete.
The person in first place receives six points; second
place receives five points, and so on.. In CSUSM’s com:
petition at the Ventura Street Pipes, the team earned 96
points. The first-place team, UC Santa Barbara, earned
162 points.
CSUSM’s next surf competitions will be held at
Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Ventura, and the
next NSSA college event wilLbe held Dec. 22 at Black’s
Beach.
Most of the team’s competitions have taken place at
local beaches. “If they wanted to travel to some place
like Costa Rica, as a surf club, they could through fund
raisers, support and enthusiasm,” said Puha.
Those who would like more information about
the surf team are asked to contact Amber Puha at
apuha@csusm.edu.

Faculty and students listen to speakers during thefirst statewide CSU teach-in. Several campuses held
teach-ins. San Marcos held a teach-in Oct 25-26. Various speakers discussedfaculty issues and
grievances infront of The Dome. (Pride Photo/James Newell)
The trustees of California
State University San Marcos
and Barbara Dovenbarger, con
troller of the university, are the
defendants in two separate dis
crimination lawsuits involving
employees from student finan
cial services.
This month two of CSUSM’s
accountants filed lawsuits, alleg
ing discriminatory practices
enforced by Dovenbarger, also
the Director of Student Finan
cial Services, on the basis of
gender, race, and pregnancy.
Cecilia Boze was employed
by the university for nine years
and was the acting assistant
director of operations in student
financial services. Boze stated
that she resigned from the posi
tion because of the stress she
suffered due to discriminatory
practices, according to the law
suit she filed at the Vista Supe
rior Courthouse.
In her complaint, Boze also
stated that she was passed over
for jobs and promotions that
she was qualified for, and that
the positions were often given
to unqualified individuals who
were Dovenbarger’s former col
leagues, some of whom were
white males.
Another accountant at
CSUSM, Kim Gomez, filed suit

Grievances Expressed; Acclaimed Speaker
Urges Societal and Educational Change
By j a m e s N e w e l l
Staff Writer
At the first statewide CSU
teach-in, faculty and various
guest speakers joined represen
tatives of the California Faculty
Association (CFA) to present and
explain current trends in the
CSU system that are leading
toward the corporatization of
education.
Distinguished guest speaker
Stanley Aronowitz, an acclaimed
author and professor from City
University of New York, was
the final speaker. He began his
address with thoughts concern
ing his home state of New York in
light of the recent tragedies, then
quickly moved to the changing
priorities in education. Explain
ing the corporate mentality as a
“they take and we pay” cycle.
The teach-ins, which were
held at all 22 CSU campuses,
were initiated due to the continu
ing disagreement between the
CFA union and the CSU admin
istration. Some of the issues con
tributing to the impasse include
class size, declining tenure fac
ulty, and stagnant professor sal
aries. The CSU contends the
quality of education students
receive is top priority, but the
CFA believes . the vital issues
“ I f thefaculty are getting a raw
d eal and staff are getting an
even worse deal, what are the
students getting ... ”
— Charles Goetzl
Stanley Aronowitz spoke at the
teach-in. (Pride Photo/JamesNewell)
concerning the future of Califor
nia’s higher education systems
are being ignored.
The CSU
Prior to the system wide
teach-in, the CSU released infor
mation pertaining to the issues
under scrutiny. The CSU con
tends they are already 2.3 per
cent above budget for this year.
The administration says the CSU
system is ahead of the national
averages for faculty . salary
increases and legislation for
budget increases is not probable,
given the state’s current eco
nomic situation.
The CSU claims that one
of the reasons tenure faculty
hires are declining is that the
arduous task of finding new
faculty would draw staff away
from time spent with students.
500-1,000 searches per year are
conducted for full-time faculty,
and the CSU says this has yielded
an increase of 221 full-time fac
ulty members in the past six
years.
CSU has had a merit pay
program since the mid-1990s.
The administration said they
believe the merit pay program
improves the quality of educa
tion students receive by reward
ing outstanding achievement by
faculty.
At the CjSUSM Teach-in
The CSUSM teach-in, held
outside the Dome, focused on
budget numbers’ manipulation,
lack of time for student/faculty
relationships, the declining qual
ity of education, and changes in
university priorities.

Students and Faculty Anticipate
Repair of Foundation Building
By AMY GRANITE
Pride Staff Writer
Students and professors
attending classes in the trailers
in the Foundations Classroom
Building (FCB) courtyartfeagerly await the reconstruction of the
FCB building, which was dam
aged by a July blast in which a
boulder struck the exterior wall,
damaging FCB 101, and another
boulder came through the door
window, striking the opposite
wall in FCB 103.
The boulders struck the
buildings as a result of an explo
sion by Hanson Aggregates, the
company that blasts to clear
rock for the university, and
to gather rocks for construc
tion. Temporary trailers in the
FCB courtyard are replacing the
classrooms until construction is
complete.
Some students and instruc
tors said they will be glad
to leave behind the uncom
fortable, temporary classrooms’
small windows and poor ven
tilation systems. “It* will be
nice to have a larger classroom
with better ventilation control,”
said Maureen DuPont, a math
instructor. She teaches a math
class that has 50 students in one
trailer, and many complain about
air conditioning problems.
Crowding is also an issue.
“I can’t even walk down the
aisles of the rows of seats in
my classroom,” said DuPont. “I
would fall if I did.”
Facilities Services said they
project the construction will be
completed in three weeks. “I
hope everything is settled and
we can be moved in and back to
normal by finals,” said DuPont.
�Conservationists Concerned
about Environmental
Effects o f San Elijo Hills
By MARY SUE WEBB
Pride Staff Writer
‘ an Elijo Hills is the resi
S
dential development on the west
ern slope of the ridges above
CSUSM. Residents also iden
tify the development with San
Elijo Canyon, the creek that cas
cades through the canyon, and
the creek’s destination, San Elijo
Lagoon in Cardiff.
But the president of a local
conservancy group said that the
San Elijo Hills development is a
threat to those areas.
Leonard Wittwer, a molecu
lar biologist who is president
of the Escondido Creek
Conservancy and chairman of
its Land Use Committee, said
he is concerned that water con
taining herbicides and pesticides
from the proposed San Elijo
Hills’ golf course could hurt
both the creek and the lagoon.
“Herbicides and insecticides that
they spray on plants, and fertil
izers they use, would go into the
runoff,” said Wittwer. “Nitrogen
and some phosphorous will lead
to algae blooms in Escondido
Creek, and that water flows into
San Elijo Lagoon, which already
has been impacted by urban
runoff”
Water from urban areas runs
into the creek and gives it
year-round water flow. Seasonal
.streams run down the Double
Peak, the tallest ridge west of
CSUSM, and flow into the coast
al lagoons. The developers are
seeking the approval of the city
of San Marcos to construct a
golf course on top of Double
Peak.
“If they build the golf course
on the ridge, everything that
flows down the north side would
go into San Marcos Creek (and
into Batiquitos Lagoon)” said
Larry Osen, a geography teacher at San Marcos High School, stands at the top of Double Peak;
San Elijo developers propose to build a golf course below the peak. (Courtesy Photo/Larry Osen)
Conflicting Interests over Use of
Cerro de Las Posas Ridgeline
By KEVIN HAWK
Pride Staff Writer
San Elijo developers applied
for a conditional-use permit that
would aliow them to build a
160-acre, 18-hole golf course,
clubhouse, and related facilities
if San Marcos approved the golf
course in 2002, on top of the
Cerro de Las Posas ridgeline, in
addition to the 3,398 homes
presently being built in south
western San Marcos.
The
6,800-yard course would begin
at Double Peak and extend south
west to the communication tow
ers. Developers applied for the
permit in November of 2000.
This proposal has many San
Marcos, Lake San Marcos, and
Elfin Forest residents concerned
about environmental impacts on
wildlife, the destruction of natu
ral vegetation and popular trails,
and pollution from the water
runoff that would be used for
the upkeep of the fairways and
greens. “The trail system is
a greater amenity than a golf
course could ever be,’r said Larry
Osen, of the city trails advisory
committee.
Since San Elijo Hills devel
opers submitted an application
for the golf course last October,
the city has been studying how
the golf course would effect
wildlife and plants on the ridge
line, said Curtis Noland, gen
eral manager of San Elijo Hills
developers, as published in the
North County Times.
City planners originally
planned for Double Peak
Regional Park to occupy the
entire 200 acres, of natural,
open space on top of the ridge
line, but with the proposed golf
course, the acreage allowed for
the regional park may be reduced
to 40 acres. Jerry Backoff, Chief
City Planner for San Marcos,
could not be reached in time for
comment.
Osen,
who
assembled
Friends of Cerro de Las Posas,
says the group is taking an
active approach to prevent the
golf course from being built on
t6p of the ridgeline. “The Friends
of Cerro de Las Posas has
engaged in a campaign of awareness, informing San Marcos res
idents of a San Elijo Hills’
plan to sculpt the ridgeline with
a 160-acre professional golf
course,” said Osen. '
The Friends attended city
council workshops to voice their
concerns and ask questions,
wrote letters to the editors of
local newspapers, distributed fly
ers, and collected signatures for
their petitions.
Earlier this year, at the Grand
Avenue Summer Festival at
GSUSM, the Sierra Club spon
sored a booth where Osen and
three other volunteers promoted
awareness of the environmental
effects a golf course would cause.
“We’re not opposed to a golf
course, but we are opposed to
the course being built on top of
the ridgeline,” said Osen. The
Friends collected 250 signatures
for their petition, which will be
presented to the city council.
Wittwer. “Everything else would
go into Copper Creek and will
end up in Escondido Creek and
San Elijo Lagoon.”
The developers have said
that golf course runoff could be
contained in traps.
Wittwer said that the nitro
gen a nd phosphorous wouldn’t
evaporate from water held in
traps. Besides the water issues,
he said there is also an issue of
the loss of habitat for animals if
a golf course is built.
“You also would no longer
see the sunset behind the ridge
line if buildings were there,”
said Wittwer.
In February, the Escondido
Creek Conservancy acquired 76
acres to protect the scenic creek,
which flows from Lake
Wohlford on the east side 6f
Escondido near Valley Center,
and through the rural Harmony
Grove/Elfin Forest area, into
Olivenhein. Escondido Creek
then flows under a bridge at the
eastern terminus of Encinitas
Boulevard and into San Elijo
Lagoon.
The conservancy hasn’t
taken a position for or against
the proposed golf course at this
time. About 10 years ago, early
in the development’s planning
stage, however,-the organization
opposed the development plans.
Those who would like more
information on the conservancy
are asked to visit their web site
at www.escondidocreek.org.
A citizen water quality mon
itoring organization, San Diego
Stream Team, separate from the
conservancy, also tests and mon

streams. Those who would like
information about the team are
asked to contact the San Diego

�T he Pride
Students Hear Buddhist N un Discuss
Life, Religion, and World Events
By STEPHANIE BAIRD
Pride Staff Writer
Venerable Master Yi Jih, a
Buddhist nun from the San Diego
Buddhist Temple, visited pro
fessor Susie Lan Cassel’s gen
eral education humanities stu
dents Wednesday. - In class*
Venerable Master Yi Jih dis
cussed Buddhism, and her life
as a Buddhist nun.
Jih, who has a closely shaved
head, and was dressed in a tra
ditional brown robe, joked with
the students* saying that she was
surprised that her look was not
fashionable with students at Cal
State San Marcos. “I don’t have
to spend my time on hairstyles
and fashion,” Jih said to the
students. “My mind is free and
joyful, and I give others happi
ness.”
Jih became a Buddhist nun
in 1980, only a few years before
most of the GEH students were
bom. She was not bom into a
Buddhist family; she recalled
that her family went to a Taoist
temple when she was young.
While she attended a university
in Taiwan, she became inter
ested in Buddhism and joined
the Buddhist Society. She soon
became inspired by Buddhism,
and went to the temple and
retreats with the society.
While Jih was still at the
university, Venerable Master
Hsing Yun, the founder of the
Fo Guang Shan International
Venerable Master Yi Jih, a Buddhist nunfrom the San Diego Buddhist
Temple, spoke to the students of Dr. Susie CasseVs general education
humanities class. (Pride Photo/Stephanie Baird)
Buddhist Order, headquartered
in Taiwan, lectured at her school.
Jih was eager to ask him two
questions: When, or at what age,
should she join the order? And
how could she help her parents
accept her decision to become a
Buddhist nun?
Her parents ended up speak
ing with Yun, and as she neared
her graduation from the univer
sity, Jih went to a summer retreat
where she shaved her head and
joined the order.
“At first my family felt like
they had lost a daughter,” said
Jih. But after two years of study
ing for a degree in Taipei and
the five years as the head of
a temple, her family followed
her into the Buddhist religion.
Although she is monastic, she
still sees her family members
and is not secluded to the temple.
They have celebrations at the
monastery, and every two years
her family is invited to come to
her monastery, where they share
their stories and participate in
activities. Jih said, “The families
feel honored [to be a part of the
experience}”
The’ humanities students
asked Jih the responsibilities of
Buddhist nuns. Jih explained that
they have the opportunity to
preach at weddings and funer
als. It is at the funerals where
one realizes that “life is really
impermanent,” said Jih. “Once
we realize this, we realize how
precious it is.”
The nuns also have study
groups and meditation groups,
which she said everyone is wel
come to attend. Jih, who has been
in San Diego since 1993, also
translates Chinese into English
for Venerable Master Hsing Yun.
The temple has programs that
it conducts for the community,
including an education program,
a cultural program, that uses
newspapers, magazines and CDs
to
inform
people
about
Buddhism, a charity program to
benefit society, and programs
that help orphanages and homes
for seniors.
A student also asked Jih
whether or not she thought the
Sept. 11 attacks were the result
of bad karma.
“Death is not the end of
life. We move on to another
house. They were innocent. It
was not Karma,” said Jih, “It is
not just an individual issue, not
just ill America or New York.
The whole world is concerned
and it is a tragedy for all human
kind.” Jih also commented oft
the terrorists: “It was behavior
of hate, they didn’t consider the
value of life. The best thing we
can dp is to try to eliminate hate
in others.”

Grievances at Teach-In

background for each speaker.
Rossmann explained the intent of
the teach-in was to educate and
shed light on the complex issues
concerning the university, and
that it was up to each person
to make up their own mind.
Before turning the microphone
over to the other speakers, Rossman interjected that the univer
sity community needs to “all
work together to ensure quality
education.”
“The notion that the CSU is
being run like a business, like
any business that’s in business,
is absurd,” said George Diehr,
CSUSM professor in the college
of business and CFA chapter pres
ident. Invited to provide logisti
cal facts behind the bargaining
process between faculty and
administration, Diehr introduced
himself as the “numbers guy.”
He distributed a pamphlet of
charts to help listeners better
uftderstand the complex uni
versity data, including studentfaculty ratios, faculty salaries,
and tenure-track faculty. Diehr
warned listeners to beware of
politically manipulated statistics.
“They (the CSU) said we hired
2,300 tenure line faculty over this
period... they didn’t tell you that
2,700 people had left ... people
had retired and resigned,” said
Diehr.
“If the faculty are getting a
raw deal and staff are getting an
even worse deal, what are the
students getting, because you are
at the bottom of that order as
far as the administration is con
cerned,” said Charles Goetzl, a
representative of the APC (Aca
demic Professionals of Califor
nia). Goetzl spoke about how
current system trends could affect
students in the future. He
explained increasing workloads
reduce campus morale and are
detrimental to the personal rela
tionships between faculty, staff
and students. “I remember the
professor sitting down at the
coffee shop ... after class ... that
is where I learned a lot more than
in the classroom,” said Goetzl.
“Don’t let people fool you,
students come first,” said Tim
Jenkins, speaking on behalf of the
California Teachers Association
(CTA) and the National Educa
tion Association (NEA). Jenkins
said that “CSU staff deserve a
raise” and that slashing quality
education because of budget
issues is “hogwash.” He men
tioned that the CSU community
is forming from a worldwide pool
6f faculty, staff and students and
should focus on setting an exam
ple for higher education.
“Be aware of you work envi
ronment ... be aware of what
your rights are and exercise your
rights,” said Deborah Corey, a
representative from the CSUSM
College of Business Adminis
tration. Corey spoke to address
misperceptions of the modernday union. She explained that the
educational unions represented
at the teach-in are made up of
“hard working, caring people”
and they are “people who want
to serve you, but the resources
aren’t there.”
Stanley Aronowitz
“The problems (of CSU) are
also the problems of the City Uni
versity system of New York, the
State University system of New
York, and many other public uni
versities abound the country, but
we should not go away from this
teach-in believing that the prob
lem is confined to education ...
we have a problem in America in
terms of what we think our pri
orities are,” said Aronowitz.
Aronowitz said that as the
needs of society change, the uni
versities need to support the
changes and that “today a highschool education is just a begin
ning.”
With the current trends in
budget cuts and administration
decisions, public universities are
increasingly pressured to look to
the private sector for funding,
explained Aronowitz. This under
mines the freedom of public uni
versities in what Aronowitz calls
“the corporatization of higher
education,” which adds to the
ability of corporations to manipu
late the priorities behind research
and curriculum funded by the
universities. “The private sector
does not give money entirely
out of the purity of their heart.
They want our education to be
geared to their job needs. They
want our research to be geared to
their product development,” said
Aronowitz.
He concluded by emphasiz
ing that the system will only work
in unity and that the students and
faculty need to focus on “under
standing each other better.”

�Hop Gains Momentum
By VICTOR PADILLA
Pride Staff Writer
The title of The Cross Movement’s album, “Human f
Emergency” speaks for itself. There is a problem in
our society, and there is a cause for alarm, and the
lyricists that make up The Cross Movement have an
answer for the problem.
“The Light o f Christ is a blazin' one
There's a fight to live right, and it's major Son
B ut the grace has come so we praise the Son
A nd celebrate Him ‘
cause we know what
He saved us from''
Those words describe what I’m all about to a “t”.
The album is definitely on point and bangin’. The
Cross Movement has, once again, put out another hiphop masterpiece. The album, just as the two before
it, is filled to the brim with intense, thoughtful lyrics,
bold passion, and righteous fury as the entire crew

Tracks, like the southern influenced “Know Me”,

There are a number of reasons why this gospel
hip-hop album by The Cross Movement is so much
more important and impressively different than any
of that other crap we are forced to listen to on the
radio or on MTV.
1. This album features many different MCs, not
just one. Diversity on the album makes for a beautiful
sound. I can’t lie though; the Ambassador is still the
tightest MC on there.
2. The production, compared to the top-selling
secular acts, is top-notch. This album is way ahead of
the competition in any genre of hip-hop and rap, as
far as I’m concerned.
3. The message on this no-nonsense type of album
is heard loud and clear, no tongue in cheek, no apology,
no compromise, no sell-out.
4. The styles of music vary on this album. While
this can often take away from an album, this one works.
5. The message on this album is like no other in hiphop. There is absolutely no talk of the very things that
unfortunately dominate the airwaves of today, which
are drugs, women, money, and cars. Instead of talking
about all the problems in the world and glamorizing
them like many other MCs do, The Cross Movement
offers an answer and solution. Now that’s something
our youth needs to hear.

Letter to the Editor: Student Poetry
Battle of the Sexes
By Ali Ahmed Khan
for The Pride
Dear Editors:
My disgust with the section
of The Pride called “The Battle
of the Sexes” has driven me
to write to you in hopes that
change will occur.
The Pride is not the largest
of student newspapers, obvious
ly, but usually it does offer some
good insight as to what is going
on on campus.
I can appreciate its lack
of length, because after all, at
the moment the campus is a
“postage stamp” campus. What
I cannot appreciate is the section
called “The Battle of the Sexes”
or what I like to call the “The
Garbage” section.
Here at CSUSM we pride
ourselves in being at the fore
front of thought and technology.
Our campus is but 10 years old,
but we put pride on the fact
that we are a liberal campus. It
has been my experience that we
are very open to ideas from all
different disciplines, including
feminism. I believe that this is
in hopes to show students that
all disciplines have value in our
world.
It seems that CSUSM is try
ing to make a difference in the
thoughts and attitudes of its stu
dents by offering opportunities
to study within different disci
plines. For this reason, a section
like this can only be welcomed
with an emotion such as dis
gust.
There is an obvious need for
change in attitude toward the
social structure that is in place
right now, and this is the genera
tion that will be able to break
down the walls.
That being said* I cannot
believe that a section that is as
silly as “The Battle of the Sexes”
can even be printed. Not only
does it seem like a section that
screams, “Hooray! We are out
of high school now we can talk
about sex, so let’s do it in the
school newspaper” but it seems
to offend all those (that I have
spoken to anyway) that read it.
The section perpetuates
every social stigma that we, as a
campus, are trying to change. It
begs to keep women and men in
their respective places.
To make a section in which
two people are “arguing” about
something having to do with
relationships, but taking very
sexist stances, on both parts,
accomplishes nothing except for
Student Poll
Would you ever plagarize?
maybe a few chuckles (not for
being funny or true, rather for
being absurd) from those that
read it. If that is the intention of
this section theh WELL DONE !
This section has managed to
represent the male as a chauvin
istic pig, and the female as a
loud mouth ... two stereotypical
descriptions of male and female
roles that have been intact since
the days of I Love Lucy. I feel
that I, as a member of the aca
demic community, deserve bet
ter.
The attitudes that are
expressed by these “sex battlers”
are neither held nor agreed with
by those with whom I have dis
cussed this section.
This kind of stereotypical
garbage keeps resistance for
change strong. It is keeping Pre
World War I ideals intact when
we are on the verge of World
War III.
This space of the newspaper
would be better used for kin
dling to start a fire than to read;
the only problem with that idea
is that then we would be burning
another, more valuable, part of
our already tiny newspaper.

Humanitarian Aid Kills People
By David J. Ludwig
for The Pride
Populations
increase.
Throughout human history the
global population has increased.
Exponentially.
Animal populations increase
exponentially, until they are
bounded by food supply, preda
tors, or disease. There is no rea
son to believe that humans are
any different. If there is a drought
that reduces the food supply, the
population dependent on it will
die. Death is the inevitable reality
of life, and it is wrong to think
that this can be changed.
We know that it is wrong to
keep populations of animals arti
ficially above the ability for their
habitat to support them, because it
makes them permanently depen
dant on handouts from people,
and any reduction in the handouts
will kill some of them. For exam
ple, if tourists feed squirrels in
a park, the squirrels will eat the
food available in the park as well
as. the handouts. This increase in
food supply will allow the squirrel
population to increase beyond the
carrying capacity of the park. As
a result, any reduction in food
from the natural supply, or the
handouts from people, will result
in the starvation of squirrels. The
net result is that the feeding of
squirrels has the potential to starve
far more than would otherwise,
given the inevitable fluctuations
in natural food supply.
The realities are exactly the
same when it comes to humans.
For as much as we like to think
that we are different than squir
rels or any other animals, we are
not. We eat, and if we do not,
we will starve. We reproduce, and
increase our numbers as we have
throughout history, and there is no
reason to believe we will magical
ly archive global zero-population
growth without being constrained
by food supply.
For as tragic as it for there to
be starving people, it only makes
the problem worse to send food aid
to foreign countries. The “humani
tarian” aid is decidedly un-humanitarian, for it allows populations to
not only continue to exceed their
natural limits, but also continue to
grow. This continued growth only
multiplies the damage that will be
done by the next drought, or the
termination of “humanitarian”
aid. It simply is not realistic to
believe that the countries sending
aid can forever send increasing
amounts of food to support grow
ing populations. The “humanitar
ian” aid will end at some point.
The policies or economics, or even
the food supply of the countries
sending the aid will change, as
things always change, and that
change will someday be a reduc
tion in “humanitarian” aid for a
population that has become depen?
dent on it. People will die and
starve in greater numbers than
would have been possible without
the “humanitarian” aid.
Considering that populations
always increase to match the food
supply, the only way to justify
long-term “humanitarian” aid is to
believe that the eventual starvation
of people is good, and enabling
it is moral.
It would be nice to end world
hunger; however, it simply is not
possible, at least in the long term,
and it is not right to save one life
today at the cost of several in the
future.
Long term “humanitarian” aid
is wrong and will kill people.

Food
Terrace Buffet Style
Is a Knock Out
By KEVIN HAWK
Pride Staff Writer
Indian gaming casinos have spread
faster than wildfire across San Diego
County/ Several of the casinos market
their “buffet” as the best in the county
in hopes of drawing crowds. I decided
to take the Terrace Buffet, inside Pala
Casino, up on its offer.
The fact that there wasn’t a line
for the buffet on a Saturday afternoon
was surprising. The buffet resembled
an upside down “U”. Chinese selections
loomed bn the left side; traditional Amer
ican and colorful Italian food caught my
eye on the right, and seafood, salad, and
soup flowed from the middle.
When I eat at a buffet, I always
begin “Round 1” with the salad bar. I
filled my plate with cabbage and iceberg
lettuce. Clumsily; I knocked the lettuceloaded tongs on the side of my plate,
causing leaves of lettuce to fall between
the selections of food on the buffet table.
Immediately, an employee, armed with a
towel, appeared from behind the counter
and swept up the tainted lettuce. I topped
my salad with sliced red onions, severed
cucumbers, and quarter-sized croutons.
“Round 2” consisted of Chinese
and seafood. I chose two seafood selec
tions^ shrimp scampi and crab salad.
I also included three Chinese choices:
orange chicken, beef and broccoli, and
fried rice. The shrimp required messy
peeling, which meant I had to get my
fingers dirty. I didn’t mind working for
my food. The shrimp tasted soft, as it
should. After my first bite of crab salad,
the rest crawled uncontrollably into my
mouth until it disappeared. The beef and
broccoli resembled play food, shiny and
plastic coated. But the entree tasted
better than it looked. Each bite released
a stream of warm flavor that trickled
down my throat. I mixed the orange
chicken with the fried rice; the combi
nation formed an inviting orange glow.
Time for “Round 3.” I loaded
my plate with American and Italian food
and filled my soup dish to the brim with
turkey soup. Placed in front of me, my
combination plate looked more like a col
lage than edible food. The tender rotisserie chicken fell off the breastbone and
tasted soft, but disappointingly bland.
The turkey tasted moist and smoked-flavored. The veal didn’t disappoint, and the
mashed potatoes stood alone without the
assistance of gravy. The judges’ score
cards had “Round 3” going to the Terrace
Buffet, until the turkey soup buckled at
the knees. If I had taken a bite of card
board floating in warm water, I couldn’t
have told the two apart. I ran to the des
sert bar to extinguish the foul taste in my .
mouth. I grabbed the first plate within
arm’s length. I discovered delightful,
colorful, sweet green apple slices cov
ered in cinnamon. This dish relieved the
aftertaste of cardboard from my mouth.
The Terrace Buffet is located at
the Pala Casino, located on 11154 High
way SR 76 in Pala, CA.

Time to Get Saucy
By DANIEL HUEY
Pride Staff Writer
The combination of work, homework,
and writing-papers leaves most students
no free time. A busy schedule forces
most students to.eat at fast food restau
rants or nuke noodles in the microwave.
Stop. You can prepare a hearty meal
in 20 minutes with the following recipe.
You will need the following:
A large pot o f boiling water
One pound o f linguini
either dry or
fresh
6 tablespoons o f olive
oil
3 cloves o f garlic
2 tablespoons o f flour
1 cup o f whole baby
clams — use canned
clams and reserve liquid I f
An 8-ounce bottle o f clam m
juice
8 ounces o f sliced mushrooms—optional
1 teaspoon o f diced pimento—optional
2-3 tablespoons o f fresh minced parsley
A pinch o f oregano—optional
Salt to taste
One loaf o f French bread
Parmesan cheese
Directions for preparing the sauce:
Put enough water in a large pot to boil
one pound of linguini and set it to boil.
Prepare the clam sauce while the water
heats to a boil. Heat the olive oil in a
medium-sized saucepan, and add minced
or pressed garlic cloves to the oil. Gently
fry the garlic in the oil until it becomes
slightly browned. The garlic will become
sticky so keep stirring.
Remove the oil and garlic from the
heat and sprinkle this mixture with flour,
stirring it constantly until the oil makes
a paste without lumps. Only use enough
flour to make a thick paste, and add it
slowly, not all at once.
* Return the paste to the saucepan, and
continue heating the paste. Whip and stir
constantly, and add all the clam juices,
the 8-ounce bottle and the reserve liquid.
Heat the pdn until the sauce boils. At
this point the sauce will begin thicken
ing. When the sauce thickens, reduce
the heat and add mushrooms, pimento,
and oregano. Let the pan simmer, and
keep it covered until
the mushrooms are
cooked about five
minutes, and stir occa
sionally.
Directions for pre
paring the pasta:
By now, the water
for the pasta should be boiling, so start
cooking the pasta. Follow the directions
on the package to cook the pasta.
Now add clams and simmer for about
two minutes. The clams will become
tough if they are overcooked. Add pars
ley, Stir in the parsley and remove the
saucepan from the heat and cover the
pan.
When the pasta is cooked to the “al
dente” stage, drain the pasta and sprin
kle it with a little olive oil. Serve the
clam sauce over the pasta, salt to taste,
and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Use
plenty of French bread to sop up the
sauce.
