L earning C enter ^Le C ollege L ife By: Victoria Segall Pride Editor Sixty-two graduate and professional schools participated in CSUSM's 7th Annual Graduate and Professional School Fair at Founders Plaza on October 23. From 10am to 1pm, students were able to speak with school representatives and collect college brochures and application materials. "Students really like it. It's a time when they can speak informally with college recruiters with no worries about how it will affect their recruitments," said Susan Buck, CSUSM Career Counselor and Graduate Fair Coordinator. "It's a good opportunity to spend a short period of time gathering lots of information," added Sandy Punch, Director of the Career and Assessment Center. Representatives from Tuskegee Institute attending the fair mark the first time that the campus was able get a historically acknowledged African-American college to participate. Punch and Buck both said that for several years CSUSM has invited predominately historical African-American colleges to participate in the fair; however, this is the first year they've been able to attend. "It's very hard to draw colleges that are historically AfricanAmerican. Most of the colleges are from the Midwest and East " said Punch. The university typically invites CSU, UC, and nearby state schools because demographics and student surveys show that CSUSM students tend to remain close to Southern California. CSUSM's Graduate Fair is scheduled around a system-wide schedule that also includes SDSU, UCSD and Point Loma Nazarene. The schools hold their fairs one day this week. The schools typically rotate fair days every year so that the fairs are held on different days of the week each year. Out of the 23 CSUs, CSUSM is one of only seven schools that host the fair. After the fair, students received information on how to apply for graduate and professional schools during a workshop held in Commons 206.

Second Annual Child Trot owned and operated by A.S.I. Austin Gallegos, a 5-year-old former student of the Early Learning Center, raced along with his sisters, Hunter and Ashley. "I'm happy. I beat my 7-year-old sister," Austin grinned. Most attractions at the Child Trot were free while others, like the screening of the movie "Chicken Run," required a small donation.

By: Nathan Fields Pride Staff Writer "This Campus seems very sterile to me," said Dean of Students Jonathan Poullard when asked about the state of free speech on campus. Poullard is currently sitting on the Campus Committee for Free Speech, Solicitation, and Distribution, deciding, among other issues, where to relocate the Free Speech, area. But the voice of students seems so quiet that few know that a Free Speech area already exists at CSUSM. Yet, with the campus and the surrounding areas developing as quickly as they are, many believe that the community environment on campus will soon change drastically, which will affect both use and location of the Free Speech area. Dean Poullard says, "The University is moving toward a student-centered philosophy, and Meet Stephen Arts and Building, extending as far back as FCB. No one could give confident predictions on where the future Free Speech area would be located, though one suggestion seems to be the grassy area near the Caesar Chavez statue. President Gonzalez noted that, "Right now, our facilities are so small that it's hard to get five people together in the Free Speech area. As the campus grows, it will probably shift down by the stairs between the library and the Caesar Chavez statue." "The space should be visible and central, but not disruptive to student traffic," said Dean Poullard. Poullard also said that the next location for the Free CSUSM's Free Speech area Speech area "will probably only Photo by Melanie Addington. be temporary before the Presently, the Free Speech University's growth shifts the area is situated between center of campus again.

A second Freshman for a Day session took place on Tuesday, October 17. Calendar IIIIIJIII1 J : | Page 8 1*8*7 Ms "Being in college is like a rollercoaster," said Jesus Ramirez. Ramirez was one of thirty students from Crawford High School who had the opportunity to experience college life at CSUSM on Thursday, October 19. The students were part of CSUSM's Freshman for a Day Program (FFAD). The program works to "enrich and motivate high school students who have not been exposed to college life," according CSUSM's Outreach and Recruitment, which coordinates the FFADProgram. The high school students began the day at 9am. They were given a campus tour, learned about admission requirements, attended actual class lectures, took notes and received class assignments. "All students are in the AVID Program," said Karen Rogoff, a Crawford High School counselor. AVID (Advanced Via Individual Determination) is a high school program that encourages and helps high school students with college applications, preparation for SAT's, and helps students partake in college preparatory courses. Ramirez felt that more students could benefit from programs such as FFAD and AVID. After visiting the campus, many of the Crawford students said they were considering attending college.

In regard to the Free Speech area, Deborah Smith, in CSUSM's Office of Public Relations, states, "As the university grows, where it is now will not be a central location, which is important for a Free Speech area. Additionally, it is important that this area be easily accessible to and monitored by university police. We don't want there to be any threat of it getting out of control." Lieutenant Bill McCullough with the campus police, whose duty it is to monitor the Free Speech area, spoke of his 18 years of experience policing Los Angeles State's Free Speech area, citing vast differences of the Free Speech area's usage on the two campuses: "Although I have seen L.A.'s Free Speech area as the site of physical confrontations between groups ranging from the Revolutionary Communist Youth to supporters of the Ayatollah Khomeini and the Moonies, I think that this [CSUSM] is an institution of higher learning and that the creative exchange of ideas is very important here. If someone is saying something offensive, you do not have to stand there and listen to it. It is our duty to insure not only the rights of the listeners, but also those of the speaker, and that*, a reasonable volume and level of safety is adhered to." Deborah Smith, commented that "In public institutions, especially educational institutions, Free Speech is seen as sacrosanct, but it cannot disrupt education." However, aside from a few complaints from professors last semester concerning the minister's volume, disruption of education has been little threat given the relative non-use of free speech on campus. ing the right of public school students to wear black armbands in protest of the Vietnam War. In 1989 (Texas v. Johnson) and again in 1990 (U.S. v. Eichman), the Court struck down government bans on "flag desecration." Other examples of protected symbolic speech include works of art, T-shirt slogans, political buttons, musical lyrics and theatrical performances. Dean Poullard, while wishing to see more students exercise their constitutional First Amendment Are students apathetic? The Free Speech area is sometimes utilized demurely by fraternities or random club activities, but the marketplace of ideas was untouched other than a Ralph Nader support group this semester, and minister Jeb Smock last spring. * Student Karen Gibson noted, "we are guaranteed Free Speech by The First Amendment to the Constitution, yet on the CSUSM campus, there is little concern that our voices will be silenced by the institution's power because we apathetically silence our own voices." In its 1969 decision in Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School DistrictT the Supreme Court held that students in public schools do not relinquish their First Amendment rights once on campus, recogniz- off-campus. This student's focus is oh their family, getting to work, getting to classes, finding their advisor, finding a parking place, getting off campus, and finishing school - and not on a Free Speech area and the issues raised or not raised there," said Poullard. However, many students welcome the idea of a Free Speech area, asserting, like student Kristie Simonson, that "it would be good to hear people's ideas about things; to hear different points of view." Student Juan Ortiz was surprised to hear that we had a Free Speech area but excitedly wished for "more public political discussion." Asked if she knew where the Free Speech area was, student Patricia Byers quizzically remarked, "I guess I just assumed that the Free Speech area was everywhere." How do we speak up? Forum Plaza is a one possible spot for the new Free Speech area.

"At San Marcos, where the average student age is 26, the student's energies are mostly focused "I want to see fliers, I want to see posters, I want to see people arguing in the quad over sensitive issues, I want to see students engaged in dialogue," asserted Poullard. As no school official was able to give any clear-cut CSUSM guidelines for use of the Free Speech area, students must assume that there aren't any aside from those stipulated in the Constitution. Lieutenant Bill McCullough predicts "Free Speech area guidelines will most likely develop as more people use the area, so there becomes a sort of give and take between what is allowable and what isn't." Of course, institutional guidelines must comply with those given in the U.S. Constitution. Students have a constitutional right to express their opinions as long as they do so in a way that doesn't "materially and substantially" disrupt classes or other school activities. If you completely block entrances to the buildings or walkways, school officials can stop you. They can probably also stop you from using language that they think is "vulgar or indecent." Government can also limit some protected speech by imposing "time, place and manner" restrictions. This is most commonly done by requiring permits for meetings, rallies and demonstrations. But such permits, which CSUSM has not yet required, cannot be unreasonably withheld, nor can it be denied based on content of the speech. Officials have stipulated, however, that any use of the Free Speech area by persons not working at or attending CSUSM must notify Public Safety and sign a liability waiver form, freeing the University from any responsibility in case of injury. For any students wishing to voice an opinion about the location or use of the Free Speech area, Dean of Students, Jonathan Poullard can be reached at (760) 750-4935. ipt | Child Trot New A.S.I.

MONTEREY LANGUAGE & San Diego Campaign Madness I I By: Victor Mireles Pride Staff Writer Driving towards the North Coast Democratic Debate Viewing Party, a news report said that Democratic Vice Presidential Candidate Joseph Lieberman was in San Diego watching the debate at a local charter high school. Immediately, plans changed and this reporter was off to High Tech High School. But a problem soon arose: no one seemed to know the school's location. At 5:55pm, local programming was interrupted and the debate coverage began. While I was driving down the 1-5, the debate began with both candidates speaking on foreign policy matters. The constant back and forth of the debate proved soothing, if not boring. At 6:45pm, I gave up the search and headed to the next site where Joe Lieberman was scheduled to appear. Balboa Park's Hall of Champions was the site of a $l,000-a-plate dinner for the Democratic Party. Arriving at 7:10pm, a group of protesters held signs and sang out chants protesting the debates and Lieberman. In effigy, the protesters held a giant man with a shirt covered by a dollar sign that had strings on each of his hands. In his right hand, he held an elephant, and in his left hand, he held a donkey. One member of the protest group, Balmore, stated, "We are here because Nader is not in the debate. He supports universal health care." W TN T F 01 Another protester smiled and laughed while another man who seemed disinterested said, "I just came here with a friend." Across the street was a man in an Armani suit walking towards the Hall of Champions; his gaze never met the protest group. He seemed lost and when asked what he was looking for he replied, "I am looking for my wife. We have to go to the dinner." The police were bored with the protest and talked among themselves. When asked about the protest, one officer said, "I don't care. I have to be here till midnight." Before this reporter was able to get out another question a secret service agent appeared. "Who are you?" he asked. I replied that I was a reporter for The Pride. "I'm sorry. This is a secured area. You will have to leave," said the agent, giving a dirty look to the officer. The police officer began to apologize as I walked across the street. The protesters began to chant, "Human needs, not corporate greed! Let Ralph debate!" Walking away from the event, I passed the man looking for his wife. When asked if he had eaten before the dinner, he laughed and said, "Its not about the food but the cause." Just then his wife appeared wearing a black evening dress. They walked hand-in-hand passing the protesters, the police and a tour bus driver, to eat $1,000 meals. i izfm•HH Ameri ca's Leader OA| p K M m—m in Stud ent cai p I nmi I M Trave I QAI F ^K^Jl^m.

In a film of strong female performances, Sally Field is exceptionally talented behind the camera as well as in front. Based on the theme of beauty pageants, lip-gloss and perfection, this film takes a surprisingly clever look at a young woman, Mona (played by Minnie Driver). Mona is from a small Illinois town that offers her limited opportunities. However, Mona has big dreams of becoming a beauty pageant queen, which she envisions to be a life of perfection, grace, and validation. Her dream of becoming a beauty queen contrasts the reality of her home life with her parents who only care about booze, cigarettes, and television. As her obsession to become a beauty queen grows, Mona is relentless as she manipulates her way through personal obstacles. With determination, Mona takes after school jobs to earn money for braces and singing, dancing, and modeling lessons from the formidable, pageant diva Verna Chickle (played by Kathleen Turner). The ultimate Miss American Miss Pageant offers her hope, change, and a new outlook, and Mona stops at nothing to get to the top. When Mona, against all odds, beats out her competitors to become Miss Illinois, she is finally on her way to compete for the Miss American Miss Pageant. Through witty dialogue and superb direction, memorable scenes unfold in the film. Mona's obsession turns into a confronta- A Look at The San Diego Music Awards By: Lane Harden and Chelsea Loura Pride Staff Writers The 10th Annual San Diego Music Awards took the city by storm at Humphrey's by the Bay on Shelter Island on Tuesday, October 17. The San Diego Music Awards supports local musical talents and celebrates their success and accomplishments. To date, over $102,000 has been raised to assist elementary school music programs in San Diego. Some of the most talented musicians in , the nation have been San Diego's very own and many of them were recognized at Tuesday evening's event. Awards were given for musical categories such as hip-hop, jazz, country and reggae music.. One of many talented local performers featured at the event was Eve Selis who not only gave The Pride Arts & Entertainment There were live performances by Berkley Hart who took home awards for Best Local Recording Category and Best New Artist. P.O.D. was another popular performer, taking home awards for Song of the Year and Best Hard Rock Band. Other awards of the evening included Best Bar Band won by Pink Froyd, a Pink Floyd cover band. Group of the Year went to Blink-182, and Artist of the Year was awarded to Steve Poltz, an acoustical guitarist. Lifetime Achievement awards were given to two legends of San Diego; Mundell Lowe, a renowned jazz guitarist was recognized for his influence on local musicians. The other award went to Lou Curtiss the owner of a local music store called "Folk Arts Rare Records." Curtiss' store carries classic folk, roots and blues music from the 40V and 50's.

Some will call it a "chick flick," but Beautiful offers f un and lots of laughs when a young woman is forced to reevaluate her life's goal and, in the process, discovers what's really important and what it truly means to be beautiful. Written by Jon Bernstein (Ringmaster), Beautiful is a kindhearted story with a tearful, but predictable ending. However, you won't be disappointed.

Best Rock Band of the Year. Trevor begins to "pay if forward" by helping a homeless man get back on his feet by feeding him and letting him sleep in the garage. Trevor's school project turns personal when he decides to help his teacher. Trevor decides he wants to help Mr. Simonet by encouraging him to become romantically involved with Arlene McKinney, Trevor's alcoholic mother (played by another Oscar-winner Helen Hunt of As Good as It Gets). Simonet, a burn victim with scars on his face and body, is hesitant to give his heart to Arlene. Arlene, however, opens her heart to Simonet, and Trevor encourages him to pursue the relationship. Meanwhile, a reporter (played by Jerry Maguire's Jay Mohr) is given a brand new Jaguar by an attorney that tells him about the "pay it forward" idea. Shocked by the incredible generosity of the attorney and curious about "pay it forward," the reporter tries to track the origin of the idea. The trail eventually leads back to Trevor who is continuing to work on his project to better the world. Director Mimi Leder's first two films, Deep Impact and The Peacemaker; have not been much to rave about, but three times is definitely a charm with her latest film, Pay It Forward. Osment, Spacey and Hunt give phenomenal performances and have great potential for Oscar nominations. This movie is bound to be one of the top five films of the year because it succeeds in doing what motion pictures are supposed to do—it teaches us about life and what really matters. If we look deep enough, this movie may even teach us something about ourselves. Perhaps if we started "paying it forward" and helping each other the way these characters do, the world can become a better place.

To offset the effects of tasty food, Mr. Garcia, along with his wife plan to start walking on Mangrum Track in the evenings—that is, as soon as they can work out the dinner schedule, For most spectators the Olympic games are over; however, the games have only begun for the 4,000 athletes from 125 countries competing in the Sydney Paralympic Games. The Paralympic competition in Sydney, Australia, began on October 18 and will run through October 29. As of October 20, the United States is in tenth place with a total of two medals, one silver and one bronze. The Paralympics consist of 18 sports on the competition program, 14 of which are also on the Olympic sports program. According to the official Olympic web site, the other four sports are "unique to - the Paralympic Games [and they are] boccia, goalball, powerlifting and wheelchair rugby." This is the first time wheelchair rugby will be offered as a medal event. The mission of the Paralympics is "to inspire the world by staging a Paralympic Games that sets new standards in excellence, enabling the athletes to achieve their best," according to the Sydney Olympic web site. Within the first two days of the games, the athletes proved their athletic excellence by smashing Paralympic and world records. On the first day of competition, four records were broken in the preliminaries for swimming. The Paralympic News Service reported. USA's Erin Popovich broke the world record in the women's 200-meter individual medley. In the men's 100-meter Tuesday, October 24,2000 5 breaststroke, Pike Stewart set the Paralympic record with a time of 1:12.33. Immediately following Stewart's record-breaking performance was Alwin Houtsma who beat Stewart's record with a time of 1:07.82. Since the Paralympics were created to coincide with the Olympic games, the term Paralympic was developed to signify 'parallel games.' The creator of the Paralympics, Sir Ludwig Guttman, was deemed the 'father' of sport for people with disabilities. According to the Olympic web site, "While working with ex-servicemen at the Stoke Mandeville Hospital after WWII, Guttman recognized the need for competition and staged the 1948 International Wheelchair Games to coincide with the 1948 London Olympic Games." Other sports and disability categories were added, and in 1960 the first Paralympic Games was held in Rome. According to the site, the games have been held every four years "in tandem" with the Olympic games. The 2000 Olympics had a total of eleven athletes that tested positive for drugs. Five athletes were stripped of their medals. At least six Paralympic athletes have also tested positive to performance enhancing drugs, according to an October 20 report from Reuters News Service. Robert Steadward, President of the International Paralympics Committee admits "some of the tests came back positive [but] it was good that the IPC had identified the drug-taking athletes before they had competed" as reported in Reuters. There had been no positive tests at the 1996 Atlanta Paralympic Games. This is t he first year that the Paralympics are having random out-ofcompetition drug testing in addition to the regular competition testing. All of the 4,000 athletes are subject to random testing.

Dr. T is a loving husband and father of two, but his wife is put in a mental institution. Bree is a woman he likes and ultimately sleeps with because he falls in love with her and thus, she becomes his mistress. Dr. T's wife files for divorce and he then finds out that Bree is a player when he pours out his love for her. No, it is not normal to be unfaithful, and we should not b e~ and no, Dr. T is not doing the right thing. However he sleeps with Bree because, in the moment, he cannot r esist She does riot deserve him and he can surely do better. He's really a normal loving father, but'lust intervenes, and he makes a mistake. Nobody's perfect. I did not intend to call infidelity normal, and apologize that you read it in that way. With the passage of the student union fee referendum, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped make the M. Gordon Clarke Field House/University Student Union a reality. First, I'd like t o thank those of you who worked in front of and behind the scenes to get the information to the students and to make the fee referendum understandable and feasible. Secondly, and most importantly, I would like to thank all the students who voted. We, as a campus, are one step closer towards making CSUSM not only a great commuter campus, but also a great place to be. Ryan Sandahl HAVE AN OPINION?

A steady stream of students satisfied their appetites courtesy of the CSUSM Veterans' Association after 5 p.m. on Oct 7th in Founders Plaza. Association barbecue is unique in that the event actually preceded the association. In 2001, a small group of CSUSM veterans got together to develop an event to benefit the campus. The result of their cooperation was not only the first barbecue, but also the genesis of the Veterans' Association, which will hopefully receive greater attention after the success of this year's BBQ. food.

"It's all possible to go to college; even if you don't have the money, you can get scholarships and grants," said Ana Villarreal, a San Marcos Middle School student. This conference brought a total of. 24 middle schools and high schools from San Diego North and Orange Counties to tour the campus. On Friday, from 8:35 a.m. until 1:00 p.m., the AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) Student Leadership Conference took place at CSUSM. Throughout the event, about 200 middle school and high school AVID students According to the conference attended different workshops and presentations that helped guide, more than 95 percent of them to prepare for college and AVID students enroll in college. to realize that they can go to When asked about the purpose of the conference, Gary Taylor, a San Marcos High School AVID professor, explained that it's "Trying to get AVID students focused on what college would be like." Taylor also added, "It's a great opportunity for students to see the college layout." Cathy Munson, a San Marcos Middle School AVID professor, said that once these students get into college, they might be the only under-represented student in their classrooms. However, Munson explained that this conference gives the students an opportunity to be surrounded by students who are just like them. Jatziri Alarcon, a San Marcos Middle School student, described her experience at the conference. "It's cool because you get to know more about college and about what's better in the future," Alarcon said. " Ih.

Microsoft Shares its Future with CSUSM By JASON PADILLA Pride Staff Writer Kerfoot's job involves traveling to large Microsoft customers and telling them about the benefits of working with Microsoft, and their new technologies to come out in the future. The largest of these customers of Microsoft include Nissan, Qualcomm, and many others. According tq Kerfoot, the new technologies that Microsoft plans to release have a substantial involvement with the Internet, and building what will be known as the Digital Economy, or connecting every business together. Over 50 people showed up to Academic Hall 115 Thursday night to hear a little insight on the future of Microsoft, presented by guest speaker Scott Kerfoot. The presentation was co-hosted by Cal State San Marcos' own Alumni Association, and the Association Information Technology Professionals (AITP). The Alumni Association provided the sponsor for the event, Steamatic, who provided free beverages and desserts for those students and staff that Other new Microsoft techattended.

Veterans from all branches of the armed services are represented. With roughly 600 veterans attending school at CSUSM, the association has the potential for even further growth. Navy veteran and association member Stan Johnson described the association as being in an early formative stage. Johnson said the association is currently in the process of developing a mission statement and the association members eventually hope to be able to provide assistance to veterans and their families. Some members of the CSUSM Veterans' Association, such as Treasurer Tom Watson, are currently on active duty in the military. Watson is participating in the Marine Enlisted Com- system and phone capabilities. The Tablet PC is a slate-like computer, with wireless networking built in for Internet access; it will use a<pen instead of a mouse for navigation.

At the end of the event, free shirts, books, and software were given out, courtesy of Microsoft. According to Microsoft, the overall goal of these new technologies is to make information available anytime, anywhere, and on any device. To do achieve this goal, all businesses need to be integrated into one interface, in order to boost AITP officer Aimee Friend efficiency and availability. This said, "AITP is a campus club and services have similar programs on campus. "In the aftennath of Sep 11th, security considerations have forced active duty personnel to adopt a low profile in certain situations," explained Watson, who also expressed his complete willingness tofightfor his county if he is summoned. The CSUSM Veterans' Association meets the first Tuesday of each month at 4 p.m. The association is currently holding its meetings in the Dome, though they are in the process of securing their own room.

Held just beyond Forum Plaza, between University Hall and the new Arts Building, the location was ideal for passing students to observe their peers laughing and having a great time. Overall, the scene was light and happy, and several people felt comfortable enough to stop and chat with sideline spectators. The competition consisted of four classic events, each a childhood favorite, yet with a contemporary spin. The first in a series of grueling feats of skill was Speed Twister. A member from each team battled with one another simultaneously onfiveseparate Twister mats. Whoever was the last one standing on each one of the mats won points for their team. This was quickly followed by the old camp favorite "Spin-'round-thebat-and-run" relay. During the event, each member from every team spun around seven times with the bat on their forehead, which was an oversized candle, and then had to slalom their way through a series of orange cones to touch a flag. Sprinting back to where they had begun was the only way to tag the next teammate inline. From there, the players moved on to a condensed Frisbee Golf match, where one member from each team took turns throwing a frisbee into a net trap about 20 yards away. Just as in regular golf, the least amount of throws won. After the adrenaline and energy from the relay before, the golf game quickly became organized chaos, with frisbees being tossed randomly like graduation caps. Thefinalportion of the contest was Speed Pumpkin Carving. As a team, everyone had 10 minutes to create something artistic from a lopsided gourd; it was not merely speed that scored points, but quality as well. Some simply hacked out their Greek symbols, while other teams such as PAN went so f ar as to use a dragon stencil to produce an eye-catching image. Winners were announced Thursday at 12 p.m. First place was awarded to APSS, who received $100 for their efforts. Second place went to Sigma Alpha Epsilon, who in turn won $50. PAN won third place and received $25. The prizes went towards the club accounts.

Carmel Street - San Marcos, CA (Corner of Twin Oaks Valley Road & Hwy. 78) r*' P, Hm Mum 9# * ^ WW » w I I K m *Iw WK0 m LETTER TO THE EDITORS Dëar Pride, I just wanted to write Chris Martin about his review of "Red Dragon" and ask him why he believes that the film is, for all intents and purposes, a remake of "Manhunter?" I find that to be absolutely rediculous. When you remake a film, you're simply updating the telling of it. Like with "Psycho," they just added color to Hitchcock's masterpiece. Other remakes follow the same plotting, but update it to modern settings and the like. With "Red Dragon," Brett Ratner has made an adaptation of the novel of the same title by Thomas Harris. That's why the credits say based on the novel by Thomas Harris, not based on the film "Manhunter" by Michael Mann. Mann's film is a much looser adaptation than Ratners, and rather inferior, in my opinion. So, Mr. Thomas Harris expert, do tell me if you made a mistake in what you Said, or if you really believe that Ratner was remaking "Manhunter". I'd also like to know what you thought of the ending of the novel "Hannibal" compared to the ending of the film "Hannibal."

Se encuentra abierta al público en general la exposición "El Arte Defiende". Esta muy particular exhibición de arte organizada por el Taller de Arte Fronterizo que dirige Michael Schnorr se está presentando en la Galería de Arte del Colegio Southwestern en Chula Vista hasta finales de mes. Se presentan trabajos de niños y jóvenes de la comunidad de Maclovio Rojas en Tijuana, así como también de algunos otros artistas que muestran en sus obras las experiencias vividas dentro de la población. Para estimular la creatividad de los niños, Huato y Aguiñiga les enseñan diferentes técnicas de pintura. Aguiñiga expresó que muchos niños piensan que no son capaces de dibujar o pintar un cuadro con valor estético pero que después de enseñarles cómo y ofreciéndoles los diferentes materiales utilizados para que puedan crear algo con facilidad y de una manera divertida, los niños se entusiasman y se les enciende el pensamiento creativo. El objetivo de los instructores es el de enseñarles una manera de expresar sus emociones. "La situación en Maclovio es muy difícil. Algunos niños no tienen casa, a otros los abandonaron sus papás, no van a la escuela, andan en las calles todo el día, cargan cuchillos, se pelean entre sí, y otros venden drogas para poder comer. Entonces es importante el proporcionar a los niños una manera de expresión no verbal, ya que cuando se expresan verbalmente son censurados, y a La galería de pinturas, fotografías y figuras plásticas forma la historia de los habitantes de ese lugar. Los jóvenes y niños plasman sus vivencias en muros hechos de puertas de cocheras. En cada uno de los trabajos que se pueden apreciar en esta exposición se encuentra el alma frustrada, acongojada, sedienta, hambrienta, o dichosa de un joven, de un niño o de un adulto. Detrás de estas piezas se encuentran los seres que denuncian injusticias y carencias de todo tipo. El Taller de Arte Fronterizo puso en marcha un proyecto en Tijuana para defender a los habitantes de Maclovio Rojas. Como estrategia de ayuda surgió "El Arte Defiende", exhibición de arte que tiene como finalidad El dibujo de Jonathan. Foto por Martha Sarabia proteger a la comunidad a través del ingenio artístico. Como parte del proyecto, el Taller de Arte Fronterizo ha invitado a artistas internacionales y nacionales a convivir con la entidad de Maclovio Rojas para que plasmen sus experiencias a través de su creación artística. comunidad autónoma, que sus líderes eran mujéres y que confrontaban serios problemas con el gobierno. Poco a poco se f ue envolviendo con la comunidad y junto con otros artistas voluntarios empezaron a construir el Centro de Arte Comunitario Aguascalientes. Elizabeth Huato y Tania Aguiñiga son dos voluntarias que han estado asistiendo a impartir clases de artes plásticas y pintura a la comunidad de Maclovio Rojas. Huato es estudiante de Diseño Gráfico én el plantel de Southwestern y Aguiñiga estudia Diseño de Muebles en la Universidad Estatal de San Diego. Actualmente el centro Aguascalientes cuenta con siete voluntarios y voluntarias. Cuatro de ellos son estudiantes de arte, dos son profesores y una pintora del Taller de Arte Fronterizo. Todos ellos trabajan con la comunidad, especialmente con los jóvenes y Aguiñiga empezó a colaborar con el Taller de Arte Fronterizo hace cuatro años y medio. Ella cuenta que el proyecto se inició con la idea preliminar de realizar una pintura de Maclovio Rojas. A Aguiñiga le interesó el hecho de que Maclovio era una Maqueta de la comuñidad Maclovio Rojas. Foto por Martha Sarabia Para Huato, es muy importante que ellos se puedan expresar a través del arte, pero también es uña forma para que ellos consideren el arte como carrera futura. "El crear una forma de arte para que la vendan y se puedan sostener económicamente es muy bueno, pero más que nada es pintar para desahogarse, ellos pasan por problemas que uno nunca se imagina. Para mí el arte es expresión y para ellos debe de ser también," expresó Huato con una actitud optimista. De acuerdo con Huato, su mejor experiencia ha sido el pintar los murales con el grupo de jóvenes. "Todas las actividades eran en la noche y era muy divertido, parecía como que temamos fiesta. Es uno de los mejores recuerdos que tengo," expresó Huato. Huato también habló de la pintura de un joven, Jonathan, la cual realizó con colores de agua. "La forma en que él la pintó me dejó anonadada porque no me imaginaba las cosas que él era capaz de pintar. Es una pintura abstracta, lo que es muy difícil para un niño. Me impresionó el talento que tiene, así que le sigo dando material para que continúe pintando." El arte abstracto de Jonathan tiene las imágenes que repentinamente se le venían a la cabeza y que él quería representar en See MACLOVIO, page 11 �because during competition only to make the extra fund raising effort, perhaps it is achievable," * five can compete.

After a dazzling reverse from #21 LaDainian Tomlinson to #85 Tim Dwight the Chargers opened tip the first quarter 7-0 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The momentum was in favor of the Chargers, however with turnovers caused by fumbles and interceptions, the Chiefs capitalized on the errors and led at the end of the second quarter by 3, making the score 7 Chargers and 10 Chiefs. As the third quarter progressed, the Chargers would get very close to the red zone, but were never able to score due MACLOVIO from page 8 un papel. "Eso es lo que es abstracto. Es algo que el artista quiere que la gente vea; el que tenga algo en la mente y quiera representar en cualquier tipo de arte" agregó Elizabeth Huato. Sin recibir ninguna forma de pago, los voluntarios en Maclovio Rojas se muestran entusiasmados con el resultado de la exposición y dijeron que continuarán haciendo su labor humanitaria por el beneficio de los habitantes de ese poblado. Con una sonrisa, Huato dijo que es una cosa tan hermosa lo que hace "que ha cambiado mi punto de vista de ver las cosas. Los pocos meses que he estado en Maclovio han cambiado mucho to interceptions of Quarterback #9. Drew Brees and a turnover by Charger's punt returnee #87 Vanover. The turnover resulted in seven points for the Chiefs, which left the Score in the game Chargers 7, Chiefs 17. Just when the Chargers looked as if they were going to lose the game, the Charger's defense racked up a key interception that left their offense in striking distance of the Chiefs red zone. The Chargers benefited from the interception because Tomlinson was then able to rush twice for the inzone and score another touchdown that made the score Chargers 14, Chiefs 17. Within those two rushes by Tomlinson, the amount of determination the Charger's offensive linemen had to help their running back reach the endzone. Also, these two rushes by Tomlinson were not simple runs because he had to la mentalidad que yo tema.

This determination and second efforts by the Chargers displayed their will to win. Towards the end of the third quarter and into the fourth quarter, the Chargers and Chiefs battle back to back with touchdowns. The first strike was delivered by Chiefs quarterback Trent Green who increased the Chief's score by seven, and then the Charger's battled back with a hand off to #80 Curtis Conway, which led to his running touchdown. The score now was Chargers 21, Chiefs 24. Now entering the fourth quarter the Chiefs connected with a brilliant pass from Green to Tony Gonzalez that turned into a touchdown reception.

SEND AN EMAIL TO pride@csusm.edu AND VOICE YOUR OPINION. Dear Martha Sarabia, I had to take the time and express my admiration and respect for your writing. I enjoy your Spanish section, specially your response to the letter sent by Amy. I love the way you defended why we should have a Spanish section. You were professional and clever. I am looking forward to reading your next Spanish section. Thank you, Sonia Torres Junior Service Sector Management major �Response to "Speak Up to Your Government" Mr. Mann: I just got done reading your piece to about the President and the war on Terror, and I must say, you couldn't be more wrong about everything here! You say we've lost some personal freedoms, like what? Are you upset because you have to arrive at the airport another 30 minutes early since 9-11-01? Wow, that's a real tragedy. But I will take your advice on speaking to our leaders. I'm going to write the President and tell him how grateful I am for his realistic stance on terrorism. I've got news for you Mr. Hi Pride people, First I want to say that the layout of this week's issue was very impressive. You're all doing an awesome job and should be proud of yourselves. I was somewhat perturbed about the Opinion pages, though. I guess it's ideal for former editors to keep their lips shut regarding current editorial decisions, but I rarely speak out against certain Pride-related issues unless I feel they are important. So I hope you don't look at this as a "former-editor-butting-in," but rather another CSUSM student expressing her opinion about her student paper. In a past issue of the paper Pam Horner wrote a letter expressing her distaste for the "Mucky Mouse" cartoon; Desmond Barca's response, however, appeared in the same issue as Horner's letter. In this week's issue, Amy Granite wrote a letter where she disagreed with the editorial staff's choice to include Spanish articles; Martha Sarabia's 10 years with Hussein and nothing has worked. It should be crystal clear to you that Mann: there are evil people in he is another Adolph Hitler in this world such as Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, Adolph the making. In addition, guys Hitler, etc... who NEVER listen to reason or negotiation. The m only way to stop them from POLITICAL doing more evil is to destroy COIMMENTARY them. Look at Saddam Husr sein; this psychopath has never acquired a weapon that he has like him are the reason that: not used (in 1988 he gassed if you want peace, you have 10,000 of his own people to stop to be willing to fight for it. a rebellion).

Well, please As the president said last allow me to enlighten you on Monday, we've tried every dip- how our government/military lomatic approach for the past really works. As a veteran of the response, however, appeared in I know you're all busy, but if the same issue as Granite's letter. you have any responses for me regarding the editorial policy Now from what I've seen with on this subject, I'd love to hear most newspapers {and if I'm it. I hope my point made sense. wrong, please correct me) readers If it didn't, let me know and I'll and editorial staff typically don't clarify respond to letters until after they have been published; as a reader Please remember that this letter I admire this decision because doesn't come with any ill will, it gives readers like myself a especially since I have a special chance to reflect on the opinions respect for the paper and for of the writer and read his/her members of the editorial staff. perspective. When the next issue comes around I look forward to Best regards, the disagreement and debate that Vicky Segall usually follow opinion letters. With the previously mentioned letters, however, it seemed like Horner and Granite's arguments Hi Vicky, were weakened because of immediate responses from the Thank you for your letter. editorial staff. I was curious if the rest of the student body has the same privilege as the editorial staff and may review and respond to letters before they are published? It doesn't seem fair, and I just wanted to throw this opinion out there. We hadn't really considered the points that you mentioned; we all thought that it would be interesting to have a public dialogue going back and forth in the same issue as well as in consecutive issues. In our eagerness to generate debate we may have overlooked, to some degree, the connotations of our decision. US Army, I can tell you that we go out of our way - more than any other nation in world history - to avoid civilian casualties. The reason that innocent people die is because guys, like Hussein and bin Laden, prefer to hide behind women and children. Why... because they know we won't attack. If you don't believe me, go to Camp Pendleton and ask some of the marines if I'm right. rebuilt their nations for them after WWII? Do you think Hitler would have rebuilt America for us had the Nazis won? Think about it Mr. Mann. Thanks to the courage of our military, (people who voluntarily give up their constitutional rights so you can have yours), we live in the freest country on the planet. And I can't help but laugh when a GRAD STUDENT whines and complains about And how do we exploit other the very country that gives him people Mr. Mann, by spread- the right whine and complain. ing democracy and rebuilding somebody's country for them? That's ridiculous. Dp you think Briän Dobbins, senior the Germans, Italians, and Japa- communications nese felt exploited because we As we're sure you know, readers are quick to criticize the paper and the editors are always on the defensive. It is true that we have taken some advantage of our editorial positions, however we think this is balanced to some degree by the fact that the students who write in are on the offensive, and are not subject to public scrutiny on a weekly basis. Criticism is healthy and appreciated; it means that we as editors have to be able to advocate and show justification for what we are doing. However, being under constant attack takes some getting used to. readers lose interest or shift their attention to newer issues. Two weeks interest fades, both on the part of the letters' authors and on the part of the editors. You ask if the rest of the student body has the same privileges as the editorial team. We can't avoid reading the letters before everyone else; waiting to respond would be a pretense. Daily papers respond as soon as possible and that is usually the next day. However, we are a weekly paper and therefore issues of last week are too old for this week. As the old Mexican saying goes, "No dejes para mañana lo que The idea of waiting until the puedes hacer hoy." Don't put off next issue to respond is attractive until tomorrow what could be because it may create anticipation done today. for our readers, help to captivate them, and ultimately keep them Thanks again for bringing this to picking up the paper/ However, our attention. as we are a weekly paper and not a daily, the letters we receive The Pride Editorial Team are published in response to issues that are already a week We encourage people who agree old. We feel that by responding or disagree with our response to immediately to the letters, we write to us. can address these issues before Response to "Separate but not Equal" This is in response to the article "Separate But Not Equal" by Melissa Reed in the September 24th paper. Melissa, while I applaud your "utopianistic" view on American Society in regards to diversityr I have to say I think it is extremely distorted. Before you jump on the defensive side I want you to know that I truly wish that our society were indeed as tolerant of diversity as you perceive it, but unfortunately it is not. I noticed that you yourself said in your article that, "as a Literature and Writing major... I have been forced to take many classes that in one way or another involve ethnic studies and cultural diversity." If the classes were not mandatory, would you have taken them simply out of scholarly interest? Probably not which is why the University chooses to make these t roes of classes mandatory. There are many people, just like you, who instead of celebrating cultural differences look at them negatively as hindrances. Recognizing and accepting cultural differences is what diversity is about. While you may not feel more "connected" to a member of another race or ethnicity after class, you should at least feel like you have a better understanding about their experiences and perspectives. And we all need to learn about these experiences and perspectives as they are extremely different depending on one's ethnic background. We have to be realistic and admit that there is no such thing as a same "across the board" American experience in terms of ethnicity. This is what classes like LTWR 450: Multiethnic American Literature portray. To say that classes like this are a slap in the face — classes that give everyone a chance to study literature which is no doubt based upon the different experiences, good and bad, that result from us living in a diverse society — is a total disregard for diversity. Literature" could not possibly fit the course objective of LTWR 450. While this class' goal is to compare writings from various ethnic groups found here in America, it also says that it " ... examines texts through thematic and/or historical frameworks in order to view them as products of varying cultural and historical circumstances." (pg. 268, CSUSM University Catalog). Imagine trying to study the American Civil War from one ethnic perspective. It's impossible because you have, the perspective of the slave owner and then that of the slave. The fact that you do not understand nor recognize cultural diversity as celebrating our differences in an equal manner, and does not necessarily constitute any separation, shows the lack of progress in cultural diversity and maybe even the failure of the classes to do what they were created to do. extent still are, diverse in terms of population, people were not always as accepting, as maybe you were, of the idea of ethnic diversity. I have yet to be made more aware of my multicultural background than when I lived* in New York. And while someone's ethnic background might not have been discussed at your family's dinner table, believe me, it was being discussed at many others. Lastly I would like to address your idea of "incorporation". Let's first get this straight. There is a huge difference between incorporation and assimilation. To just lump all literature, or even culture under the title of "American" would be a disservice and a blatant disregard to those members of the many ethnicities that have contributed to the greatness of America. You cannot expect people to simply label themselves as American especially when they I also grew up in New York have not always been treated City and while neighborhoods as such. And that is a story may have been, and to some that needs to be told from as To simply title a class "American many perspectives as possible. Instead of looking at diversity as a separatist idea, accept it as a necessary way to foster tolerance and as a means to possibly achieve real and total equality. I applaud the University f or its dedication to the idea of diversity and encourage the powers that be to do more to bring about an enthusiastic understanding and acceptance of our culturally diverse society. I also challenge CSUSM students to participate in the understanding of diversity by voluntarily taking classes that foster acceptance and celebrate our differences. By doing this, more people will see that these classes do not perpetuate separatist views but instead at best, create a sense of unity and at the very least, produce a higher level of understanding.

Photo by Desmond Barca. For the second time in homecoming history at Cal State San Marcos, the window-painting contest was a hit. The theme chosen this year was simply "Pride on the Prowl." Extravagant and creative paintings were displayed on the windows around Founder's Plaza all during homecoming week from Oct. 5th—13th. The CSUSM Veterans Association painted the window that was chosen as the winner of the 2002 window-painting contest by the Homecoming Planning Committee. Claudia Pawlowski and Justin Knott were the artistic talent that created the window painting next to the coffee cart that won the grand prize. Claudia, a Biology major CSUSM student, and member of the CSUSM Veterans Association, portrayed a cougar on the prowl beside an American Flag, as well as the theme boldly stated at the top of the window. Club, Alpha Xi Delta, Women's Studies Student Association, Asian Pacific Student Society, Alpha Chi Omega, CSUSM Veterans Association, and College Democrats were the student organizations that participated in this artistic adventure. The Homecoming Planning Committee members, who voted independently, chose the winner. Then, Wright tallied all the votes to come up with the grand-prize winner. Wright. said, "Besides some added exposure to the campus via a non-traditional form of advertising, the winner received a $25.00 credit to their student organization account."

CSUSM celebrated its 15-year anniversary at the library Plaza Wednesday afternoon, acknowledging long-term, veteran pioneers. The ceremony was held to recognize all the hard work BY SCOTT PHILIPS Pride Staff Writer Police conduct is a growing concern among those who feel they have been unfairly treated by campus police. N An open forum was held on November 4 following the recent arrest of student Jason Edwin Williams on campus by Cal State San Marcos University Police. The event was organized by Professor Sharon Elise from the sociology department. The Thursday forum had been rescheduled so President Karen Haynes could attend, but much to the dissatisfaction of the attendees, she never arrived. The forum started with Williams, telling his side of the events that transpired on the eve of October 20, including the rough treatment he alleges during the arrest. According to Williams, he was pulled over by campus police for failure to stop at a stop sign. Williams claims he was never asked for his car registration or insurance, but instead was asked to step out of his vehicle. He said that after being questioned about his ownership of the car, the police started to search the vehicle. "I asked them why they were searching my car, and could not get a clear response," Williams said. He said after finding an open bottle of alcohol—left over from a birthday party a few days earlier—the officers performed a sobriety test on Williams. Williams explained that he was going to study for his midterm. Williams went on to state that the officers continued with their search of the car, even after determining that he had not been drinking,. Williams said he was handcuffed when one of the officers found a kitchen knife during the second search of Williams' car. See FORUM, page 2 VOL.

Many students here aren't always fond about finding the perfect teacher who will impact and change the way we feel about school. But, believe it or not, some of the professors here on campus do just that. Have you ever walked out of class feeling like you came out a better, stronger, wiser person? That a professor impacted the way you believe and see things? Well if you have, here is your chance to show your appreciation. The CSU system awards the CSU Wang Family Award each year. This award is designed to recognize faculty who have distinguished themselves by making exemplary contributions in their academic disciplines, and by having a discernable impact on their students. Each year, four faculty members from the CSU system are honored for their dedication to serving students needs. Not only in the classroom but also for efforts above and beyond what is expected of them. The qualifications are based on teachers that have contributed to learning through activities such as publishing, includ- Tuesday; November 9 2004 CSUSM hasfinallynamed our mascot- "Crash the Cougar." "CSUSM has never officially purchased a real cougar mascot, ASI felt it was completely necessary," said ASI Vice President of Communications Roy Lee. As of October 21, the students at Cal State San Marcos voted on the name Crash to represent our cougar mascot. Before "Crash the Cougar," the CSUSM mascot was given a local Indian name. The CSUSM mascot was the "Tukwut," which is the local Indian language name for "cougar." Students were unfamiliar with the name and started calling the mascot a cougar instead of Tukwut. "Tukwut was our original mascot, not the cougar, but since it meant the same thing, students adopted the cougar instead," said Lee. Students had the option of Photo Illustration by Jason Encabo / The Pride ing students in their research, community service and recruiting students. These professors contribute and benefit not only students, but also contribute to the CSU's reputation for excellence in teaching, learning, research, scholarly pursuits, student support and community contributions. Faculty that are probationary and tenured within the last two years are eligible to be nominated for the Wang Award. One nominee from each of the following divisions may be nominated: Visual and Performing Arts and Letters, Natural Sci- ences, Mathematical and Computer Sciences and Engineering, Social and Behavioral Sciences and Public Services; and Education, Professional and Applied Sciences Fields. Faculty, academic administrators, alumni and students can nominate professors for the Wang Award. Nominations should be submitted in writing to the Senate Office here on campus, and should explain why the professor should receive the award, and the relationship the nominating individual has developed with the professor. BWANTÉD'^ voting for Crash, Rocky, Casey, Corey, and Jamie as possible names for the cougar mascot. But many students were not aware of the naming cougar voting, as well as knowing the real history of our mascot. "It has already been voted on. It was on the same ballot as the Childcare Services Referendum," said Lee. Students have already voted and Crash is the new name for our cougar mascot. "It is now in due time when we will make a better formal announcement regarding the name of our mascot so students are fully aware," said Lee. J . W .

Yeah, my mind is odd like that. Thefirstname that popped into my head was Shaquille O'Neal. Shaq is extremely charismatic and knows how to work the media. He has experience in battle as he has taken a lot of abuse under the basket. He can also battle mentally as he was in a war of words with Kobe for the past 8-years in La La Land. He would get a lot of support from the male voters 18-35 as that is the core sports viewership. He would win the urban vote as he is a hip hop artist (not a very good one, but he has released some albums). He grew up in a military family and he is getting his masters degree in criminal justice, which would help him with the military vote. Then as I thought a little harder, Shaq couldn't beat Kobe in the battle of Los Angeles so how could he beat anyone for M1MÍ the presidency. After I realized Shaq wouldn't hack it, Curt Schilling of the World Champion Boston Red Sox popped into my head. This guy has made an art of using the media to promote himself. He would easily get the Republican vote as he went on the campaign trail for President Bush. Schilling has always been a winner as he has been to the World Series three times with three different teams. However, he might piss off a lot of people because he does speak an awful lot about religion and hisbeliefs. Once I realized Schilling wasn't going to cut it, I thought of Dale Earnhardt Jr. Earnhardt Jr. is an interesting pick here as he could give "Dubya" a run for his money because they are so similar. Earnhardt Jr. could steal a lot of the southern votes as NASCAR is huge in that area and the NASCAR vote was supposed to have an impact on this past election. Earnhardt Jr. is also the son of a legend just like Bush and just like the president he spends a lot of his time going in circles. Earnhardt Jr. also stumbles over his words in front of national media like he did several weeks ago when he dropped an F-bomb in a post-race interview. But honestly, who is going to vote for a race car driver? Then I realized I was forgetting about the most influential man in sports history, Michael Jordan. His Airness has been selling the American public more crap than most politicians. I mean this guy has been the spokesman for sports drinks, underwear, batteries, fast food, shoes, and pretty much anything else you can think of. He also has experience in being an actor as he did star in the movie "Space Jam." There is no doubt he is a winner as he won Six NBA titles with the Bulls. I don't believe a sports icon will ever become President but it is interesting to imagine what if, but then again if Arnold and Photo Illustration by JasonEncabo / The Pride Jesse Ventura can become governor who is to say we won't see President Michael Jordan or If you can think of a sports icon let me know by sending an EPresident Shaq. that would make a good president mail to Sando026@csusm.edu.

BY JAMARR PATRICK Pride Staff Writer First of all, please let me say that politics can kiss my ass. Secondly, I am so glad the political season is FINALLY over! Thefirstreason why I am glad that it is over is that I don't have to see these stupid celebrities hocking their newfound political values at me. Now that the season is over I canfinallywatch the same episode of "The Real World" thirteen times in a row without having it interrupted with an "important" message from Eminem telling me to vote. Why on Earth would I listen to a person who has never voted? He and all of his celebrity brethren all of sudden get a political wild hair up their asses and they want to go preach to the masses about voting? You know what all these celebrity endorsements did for me? Nada. Nothing. Zip. Zero. I have been registered to vote since I was 18 and P. Diddy giving me a free "Vote Or Die!" t-shirt had nothing to do with it. I, like a whole lot of others, know that you are supposed to vote if you want to make a change. Another reason why I'm glad the political season is over is that now I don't have to walk down the street and see my neighbors front yard decorated like a pack of skittles with those bright colored signs encouraging me to vote for whoever they think is the best candidate. Speaking of candidates, no longer will my Jerry Springer political season. I think you can commercials be filled with lame cut a year's worth of begging and candidates talking about how mudslinging down to about two they want to make a change and days. Run it all on public access blah, blah, blah. Now I can get for 48 hours—all the commercials, good old fashioned commercials all the celebrity endorsements, all for institute of higher learning the crappy party benefit concerts like U.E.I. with people that we thought were All the political season is good dead, all of it two days in a row for is people begging. Begging no breaks in-between—and call it you, urging yoji to vote for Prop- "Poli-palooza." osition "This" and don't vote for My final reason why I hate Prop. "That." I really do hate the the political season is because it just gives people that think their party or cause is right, over a year to be complete jerks about it. In non-election years people are pretty calm about their presidential affiliation. Once it's an election year you get these same people that are out for the opposition's blood. It's like they might as well have had t-shirts made that said "Bush Or DIE!" on them or "Kerry Or DIE!"(Take your pick). Hey if you want to E VERY W EDNESDAY f 80 s Mi#it w/ act crazy then don't wait for an election year, just be crazy from the start so that I know not to talk or get near you. Anyway, no more politics on every channel means now we can concern ourselves with more important information—like who Paris Hilton is dating this week.

Now I was going to be the laughing stock of the voter world. To my amazement, when I arrived all I saw were "W '04" shirts in line. I had always been under the impression that you weren't supposed to make your candidate choice known. In my childhood, I would always ask my mom who she was going to vote for and she would respond, "Ryan, its illegal to discuss this information." Now I know she just didn't want to talk to me. So even though all these people broke the voting etiquette, I wasn't about to break my voter poker face. After ten minutes of sitting in line listening to the elder voter with his dog behind me preach- ing religion (needless to say we all know who he voted for), he decided to throw a vocal blow my way. Someone asked him, "Hey is your dog voting Bush today, too?" and he responded with, "I wish. He'd probably make a more educated decision then some of the young voters we got here." I sat, quiet, contemplating a clever response that would display the knowledge I had on the candidates and the issues, but the best I could come up with was the sarcastic statement, "I highly doubt that, sir." I finally made it to the front of the line. By this time I was a mess, I could have signed my name with the sweat off my palms. I checked in, walked to the electronic voting contraption, and handled the ballot like a pro. I looked over at the elder voter who so rudely judged me, and was happy to see he needed to be aided with the electronic ballot. I softly muttered, "Get with the times," under my breath, finished, and walked away proud with my "I Voted" sticker. Another eighty miles later I found myself back in class, a new person; I was no longer a voting virgin. The next day when I woke up tofindBush the winner, I felt like most people do after theirfirsttime, completely disappointed.

As I walked through the front door that afternoon I couldn't help biit shudder as thoughts of my mom telling me to vote for Nader and my father telling me to vote for Bush resonated in my head. It's tough being the only Kerry supporter in my household. Then I got to the polls and, lo and behold, all of my information was different. On my misspelled name, I had no party affiliation and then on my correctly spelled name, I was registered as an absentee voter.

Maybe it should be palled the "Moshing Turtle." I was incredibly impressed with the atmosphere and scenery of the bar; it reminded me of being in some artsy San Francisco or Pacific Beach type of cafe, but it was a lot louder due to the live music. The Friday that I checked out the bar, four bands played. I liked the second band, called "Fith," because they sounded like a mix of Silverchair and Incubus. Other than music for entertainment, there are also two pool tables (equipped with two chalk squares), and a functioning dartboard (a rare and pleasurable find for me). The $2.50 long-island drink specials were definitely achieving their goal; they were cheap, strong, and there was a variety offlavorsto choose from. The MidoriLong-Island drink was the best. There was also pineapple or orange to choose from. Besides the specials, the beers are heavenly. There are 33 choices that are all draft; they range from Johnny Courage brewed back east, all the way to Arrogant Bastard from Stone Brewery right here in San Marcos. The only thing worse than the semifunctional bathroom (I want to stress the singularity/non-pluralness of bathROOM) was the cover charge at the door. I'm not a big fan of cover charges, but it was only five dollars and the drink specials were satisfying, so I got over it. The bathrooms weren't totally intolerable because there were only about 15-20 girls there, the rest of the 40 people were all guys; it was a sausage fest.

If" BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer "'The Grudge' is less a film than a terror delivery system," wrote Keith Phipps for The Onion. I'm quoting Mr. Phipps here because he has defined "The Grudge" better in one sentence than I could do in one page. The Grudge is a remake of Ju-On; a Japanesefilmby Takashi Shimizu. The American version, "The Grudge," is set in Japan, but is cast with Hollywood faces: Sarah Michelle Gellar, Bill Pullman, and Jason Behr. The plot summary is simple: Study Abroad student Karen (Gellar) volunteers as a senior citizen aid. Her first assignment is at a ghost-filled house in Tokyo. The premise of the ghosts is that a woman was killed in a fit of rage by her husband who then killed himself and their son. Karen then takes on the task of discovering the history of the haunted house. Do not let the simplicity (or the former vampire slayer) deter you from seeing this film. The movie is scary as hell and I don't care how accustomed you think you are to horror movies; once you see the little Japanese boy (Yoko Maki) pop out of a closet, you will be looking over your shoulder for days after you leave the theatre. "The Grudge" is fused with suspense and technology. This is the first horror movie I've seen where ghosts are appearing on video cameras and cell phones, with the BY JARED DEVORE Pride Staff Writer Photo courtesy of Columbia Pictures background of Toyko, which is futuristic in itself. Although the movie trailers assert that the stars of the movie are Sarah Michelle Geller and Bill Pullman, the character development is slim to none and you willfindthat no one character is more important than another. I Mghly recommend "The Grudge.'' I will conclude with this, as just thinking about this movie for my review is giving me chills and I amfindingmyself looking over my shoulder in panic. Tear off your own head The "Saw" doesn't cut it as a psychohorror flick BY SCOTT PHILLIPS Pride Staff Writer Maybe I set the bar too high before viewing the movie "Saw." The movie had extreme potential and could have shaped up to be a thriller that left a lasting emotional effect. "Saw" is about a killer who selects "worthy" victims and puts them into bizarre situations. The victim is left with little time to make life or death decisions. The movie starts with complete darkness, and then opens Photos courtesy of Lion Gate Films. to a rusty and abandoned industrial bathroom, where two men are chained on both sides of the room. In between the two men is a dead body with a gunshot wound ta the head, a .38 handgun, and an enormous pool of blood. This is one hell of an opening scene. Both Dr. Gordon Lawrence (Cary Elwes) and a young man named Adam (Leigh Whannell) must figure out how to escape, using the few clues that the killer has left them. This includes two saws, too weak for the chains, but just sharp enough for human flesh. The following scenes take you through the path that leads to the connection these two men have to each other and eventually, who is at hand for these hideous crimes. While disturbing, the scenes lack that "umph" that would classify this movie in the realms of "Se7en". The movie takes us through a series of gore, violence and selfinflicted pain, but we can only feel sympathy for our charac- ters because of the situation they are put in. There is no character development and the acting is unconvincing. There are many parts where the suspense is leading us to a very shocking moment, but far too often the surprise never comes. I was hoping for a strong performance from Cary Elwes after a long departure from the big screen, but was not impressed with his overacting in many scenes. I would only recommend seeing this movie if you are truly into psychopathic thrillers. Even then, you might be let down because of the unrealized potential of this movie. Take your chance and maybe you will get more out of "Saw" than me, but let's just say "I told you so " . , A Perfect Circle's much anticipated album "eMOTIVE" hit stores November 2. A collection of songs put together by the infamous quartet that is described by Maynard James Keenan (vocalist), as "a collection of songs about war, peace, love and greed." The band has diversified their music, and fan base with this new album. One of the tracks, "Imagine" is a John Lennon song that speaks of a fictitious world without greed, possessions, religion, and all things that create division between people. "eMOTIVE" also includes cover songs by classic groups such as; Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On," Memphis Minnie's blues stomper, "When The Levee Breaks" (made famous by Led Zeppelin), Depeche Mode's "People Are People," Devo's "Freedom Of Choice," Black Flag's "Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie," Fear's "Let's Have A War," Joni Mitchell's "Fiddle And The Drum," and the Nick Lowe (by way of Elvis Costello) anti-anthem, "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding," The album will definitely appeal to those who enjoy some of the tracks listed above. However I think most old school fans will feel slightly cheated. There is original material on this album. Is it what you are looking for similar to the Perfect Circle of old? Probably not! A Perfect Circle was able to create quality renditions of the tunes, retaining their own dark, rhythmic, and heavy sound. We are witnessing the progression of a truly great rock band attempting to branch out and reach a more diverse fan base with an abstract new album. Most of the reactions to "eMOTIVE" so far are in fact, negative, citing Eminem's appearance on the album to be, "embarrassing." A Perfect Circle fan may be a bit apprehensive to buy this album due to the large number of cover songs contained in the album. However the album's message is to be considered as it comes to our nation at afittingtime of war and uncertainty. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON Pride Staff Writer In following up on the student vehicle burglary of Feb. 1, the University Police Department speaks out regarding their efforts to ensure campus safety. Lieutenant Douglas Miller was able to provide some additional comments on the incident, as well as details about the responsibilities of CSUSM Police, Community Service Officers, and Parking Officers. "We (University Police) have at most three officers on duty at all times," said Miller, in describing the patrol power of the department. Miller explained that for the three officers on duty there is a total of 304 acres plus the insides of each building to monitor. Patrol power is increased with the presence of CSOs and Parking Officers; however, the abilities to make arrests and apprehend suspects aren't strengthened as much through this unity. "Parking Officers and CSOs are like our eyes and ears," said Miller, commenting on the nature of these officers' jobs. Officers from both divisions can observe and report incidents, but they are not authorized to take action in situations like vehicle burglaries. In fact, if these officers were to take steps toward apprehending suspects or taking individuals into custody, they would face consequences. "CSOs and Parking Officers are students, they are not trained in law enforcement," said Miller. Because Community Service Officers and officers from Parking Services must report all incidents to University Police before any action can take place, response time can take up to 15 minutes. According to Lt. Miller, this time is much faster compared to San Diego State's response time of some- See HISTORY, page 4 See POLICE, page 3 Photo by Christine Vaughan / The Pride W hile p lanning f or t he n ext fiscal b udget, A SI a lso prepares f or t he 2006-2007 A SI E lections. Three factors compose ASI's operating budget: student fees, donations/profits, and interest from investments. The vast majority of ASI funds are provided directly from mandatory student union fees, included in each semester's tuition cost, for both part-time and full-time students. Each student, unless exempt with a waiver, contributes $50 to ASI's budget. If a student is enrolled for all three semesters, spring, summer, and fall, within one academic year, the student has paid ASI $150 to advocate for that student's voice. These fees allow ASI to host and co-sponsor events on and off campus, including the Masquerade Ball, cultural festivities, guest lecturers, and many other activities run by student-oriented operations. However, some funds assist with less practical uses, such as purchasing the North County Times and New York Times, or working on goals such as installing couches in restrooms, a goal detailed on the ASI website. In addition to the extensive financial contribution by students, commercial operations are typically paid for by donations and profit from ticket sales. ASI makes about one dollar on each ticket sold See BUDGET, page 2 A 'cool' fundraiser Campus takes Alternative Spring Break promotes Hockey for Habitat for Humanity BY KATIE ROWE Pride Staff Writer Students participating in the Alternative Spring Break program offer theirfirst"cool" fundraiser: selling tickets to watch the San Diego Gulls hockey team take on the Utah Grizzlers on Saturday, Feb. 25 at the I-Pay One Center.

Collectively, thisfinancialincome totals approximately $15,000 dollars of the budget, which generally goes toward commercial operations. The third and smallest contributor to the ASI budget is the interest gained off of investments in mutual funds. This equates to about a thousand dollars within the academic year. Interest does not provide a large amount of ASI's funds, but can help cushion budgets for many events and programs. About$120,000isusedannually for program events on campus, compensating guest speakers, and hosting social events. ASI also utilizes some of its budget to sponsor and co-sponsor events, such as the Middle Eastern Conference, Oktoberfest, and recreational activities. Commercial operations also have costs, which can include Photo Courtesy of Associated Students Incorporated students the opportunity to rub elbows with the mascot and share in campus-wide pride at the CRASH Pride Day. The event will be located in the Kellogg Plaza, complete with free food, games, entertainment, free-prizes for students showing their pride, and the front business office expenses and maintenance on copiers and fax machines. Costs in this area also include buying wholesale tickets for amusement parks, leisure activities, etc. ASI also funds the Early Learning Center, the Recreation Center/Clarke Field House and club/ intramural sports. The ASI general fund budget is decided and allocated by various ASI departments and the ASI Board of Directors, with approval/suggestions from the University President and her administration. The current ASI administration makes the budget for the upcoming year/administration. June 30 is the end of the fiscal academic year, and all departments are putting forward their proposals this Spring to prepare for the upcoming fiscal year.

Each department decides what they need and with all things considered, a general budget is drafted by the main ASI Board of Directors, consisting offivekey executive directors. ASI officers are salaried workers, but often the labor outweighs the compensation. The presidential position for ASI pays $8,000 per term, which is one full academic year. The ASI President has to put in a minimum of ten hours a week in the summer and a minimum of 20 hours a week in the Fall and Spring semesters. Executive officers earn $7,000 a year, logging in the same minimum weekly hours as the president. Student representatives make considerably less with $1,200 for the year for a minimum of eight hours a week. All ASI elected positions serve for a full term from Summer semester through Spring semester. "We put in many more hours than [what is required]," said Marc DeGuzman, current ASI president. He also adds that "some students may feel that ASI doesn't do anything," but actually it is a very complex organization with many responsibilities that impact students. ASI is currently looking for ways to expand on commercial operations. Foundations have lots of control over food sales and venders. No negotiations are in the works, but ASI is considering other options to help raise more funds and increase the ASI operating budget, which means more programs and event opportunities for CSUSM students and affiliates.

Nonetheless, a contributing factor in the department's response time is lack of staffing. The campus is growing at an exponential rate while the department's size remains at a standstill. This issue is not only felt on the university level, but aiso countywide. "San Diego County law enforcement has 500 vacant jobs to befilleddue to the difficulty to recruit individuals for sworn law enforcement jobs," said Sergeant Rigo Chaves. The interviewing and preliminary screening process is composed of multiple steps, often too many steps for most applicants. Due to the staffing obstacles and campus growth the University Police must face, the department encourages all students to report all suspicious behaviors to any of the campus officers on campus in efforts to keep crime incidents low.

In any case, a bustling Jewish community doesn't rank high on the list. In fact, the notion of a Mexican Jew can be downright baffling to some. Isaac Artenstein's documentary, "Tijuana Jews," breaks through many misconceptions regarding Jews and Mexico, while providing a warm, comprehensive history of the people. The film uncovers the bustling Mexican Jewish community, most of which emi- Tuesday, February 21, 2006 i l l l U C O - Documenflng the history . of lews' the Tijuana grated from pre-World War II Europe to find a safer home in secular Mexico. Artenstein digs into his family's history and uncovers the personalities of predominate members of the community. They lived just like any other Jewish community would elsewhere in the world. Through the use of old photo's, interviews with surviving members of the original community, warm narratives and seemingly ancient super 8 footage, Artenstein gives the forgotten community an unforgettable voice. The film also recounts events that happened at many Tijuana landmarks such as the Jai Alai Palace, Avenida Revolucion, and Tijuana's "Centro Social Isrealista," adding a bit of history to both well-known or otherwise unknown parts of town. "Tijuana Jews" is more than an informative documentary on Jews living in Tijuana, it is also a colorful commemoration of an all but forgotten cluster of families who escaped European persecution and made a comfortable home in the prosperous environment Tijuana provided before its economic downfall in the 1960's. Since then, many of those families have moved into the United States (particularly in the southern parts of San Diego County) and have blended in with the predominant culture. Meanwhile, their parents arid grandparents, who experienced Tijuana's boom, are slowly fading away. Of course, immortalizing these people in film is one of the main reasons Artenstein produced "Tijuana Jews", in addition to dispelling the perception of a Mexican Jew as some sort of mythological creature. The Center ARTS at CSUSM held the showing and lecture of "Tijuana Jews" in Room 240 of the Arts building on Wednesday, February 15 as part of their series of arts and lectures.

Nevertheless, Prof. Schwegler's photos, sound clips, and grammatical breakdown of this mysterious religion made for an impressively informative presentation. The broad content of the lecture also left a lot open to the interpretation and interests of the diverse student audience. As to whether there was any particular kind of student that frequented his lectures, Prof. Schwegler replied that "Linguistics, History, and Spanish majors can all be tied into the subject matter". These lectures have taken him all over the world, and Prof. Schwegler is energized by the fact that scholars "still have a lot to learn".

Call Reproductive Solutions: (818)832-1494 BY DUSTIN FRANKS Pride Staff Writer Last Thursday afternoon, CSUSM students in ARTS 240 were taken on a literary trip to Cuba to explore the secretive religion of "Palo Monte," often considered "Black Magic". Armin Schwegler, a professor of Spanish at both U.C. Irvine and CSUSM, guided audience members through the inter-workings and curiosities of the obscure religious practices, language and context of Palo Monte. The lecture was presented as part of the Black History Month events on campus. "This is the story of African people coming to the New World and what was retained as far as their culture, language and religious practices," said Prof. Schwegler, before speaking to the audience as a whole. His lecture began by narrating the origins of the Palo Monte religion, tracing it back to the lower Congo region of Africa and the Kikongo language. These cultural roots were brought over to Cuba with the slave trade during the sugar industry boom of the 1820s. This religion is oné of four to migrate from Africa with the slave trade, along with the likes of the more well-known Santeria. Previously thought to be a complete pidgin, mixed with different languages from all over Africa, Prof. Schwegler's research sheds light on the fact that Palo Monte was actually derived from the single language of Kikongo. This finding is now considered irrefutable by the academic world. The language now used in religious practice is heavily restructured, and mixes standard traditional Spanish with the Kikongo language. This dialect has turned into its own entity and research has led to a translation of over three thousand words. The practice of Palo Monte is characterized as being extremely secretive, and Prof. Schwegler spent a great deal of time in Cuba digging deep to find his information. His studies led him to find that the religion is very much alive and, in fact, thriving all over the country of Cuba. The lecture made a notable point of explaining that, despite the dark stereotype of the old African religions gathered from mainstream media, Palo Monte is actually practiced by all different members of Cuban society, from city to village, from doctors to cab drivers. Palo Monte emphasizes the idea of "invoking" or otherwise working with the spirits of the dead. Those practicing the religion build small temples with shrine-like sculptures made of On Campus: Student life and leadership BY JENNY NGUYEN Pride Staff Writer It's a common perception that for CSUSM students there is very little to 'student life' outside of the studying and traveling from one class to the next. For those looking to change this experience, the tools can be found in Craven Hall 4116 at the Student Life & Leadership (SLL) office. "This ('no student life' label) is a matter of perspective. For our age and size, we are doing very well," says Bridget Blanshan, Director of Student Life & Leadership. She explains that student life and culture here on campus may not be as obvious as other universities because some traditions at other campuses are a lot older, due to the fact that those universities are a lot older. What's nice about the fact that CSUSM is less than 20.years old is that it gives students today an opportunity to become involved in creating these lasting traditions and organizations. Furthermore, the staff at the Student Life & Leadership office will partner with students to help them establish organizations, as well as give instruction on how to lead them. By becoming involved in the creating process, students are building a legacy. At most other universities here in San Diego, organizations have been established for so long that few are born while some fail to progress. "I have been here at CSUSM since July 2001, and since then, the number of student organizations has doubled," said Blanshan. According to Erika Kirst, Coordinator of Student Involvement, there are currently over 60 clubs and organizations here on campus, with seven new or renewed organizations this semester alone. With 60 organizations, there is something for everyone, a complete list of which is available in the Student Life & Leadership office. In order to change the perception that there is 'not much to do' at CSUSM, the SLL staff works together tirelessly with other organizations such as ASI and the Campus Programs and Recreations departments to encourage student involvement and raise awareness that there are more than enough reasons, apart from class attendance, to stay on campus. In addition to clubs and organizations, the SLL office also offers Co-Curricular Event Funding Applications. If an organization wishes to hold an event, such as the Internship/College Major Fair, or Cultural Performances, they can and should apply for funding. The funds come from monies that have been allocated by President Haynes for such purposes. Another often unnoticed service is the Multicultural Program. Established 3 years ago, and continuing to blossom today, The Multicultural Program's office is located next door to the SLL, and is the beginning of what will one day be the Cross Cultural Center. This office offers a cozy, living room-like atmosphere with big comfortable couches, shelves lined with books and videos on vast varieties of cultures, and walls papered with beautiful posters of leaders from all over the world. In addition to his internal duties, Associate Director of the Multicultural Program, Alexis HISTORY,frompage 1 "The History Department is very excited to be welcoming so many community partners, professional public historians, and history enthusiasts to our campus," said Patty Seleski, history department chair. "It's a great opportunity for history majors and others to see examples of the ways in which their interest in history can be continued beyond their college experience, in either a professional and career oriented capacity, or as a personal passion." "San Diego County has a whole range of history museums and local history societies; the Congress of History is a kind of umbrella organization for these local societies," explained Associate Professor Jeff Charles, who has been working closely with the Congress of History, as well as others, in offering this event at CSUSM.

The Annual History Conference will be an informative delight for history buffs, students, and all members of the public alike. "All local history lovers will find something of interest and will learn something new," added Richard Hann, president of the Congress of History of San Diego and Imperial Counties. The registration cost for both days is $30 per person, and offers discounts for seniors, students, and children.

Montevirgen, advises student organizations with a cultural focus, helps plan cultural events on campus and organizes educational programs.

Other services offered include, but certainly aren't limited to, a web based Calendar of Events, Cougar Wellness, Emerging Leaders Program, Fraternity & Sorority Life, Housing, Leadership Fast Tips, Orientation Programs and Tukwut Transcripts. "There is nothing like it, in terms of learning core life skills," says Blanshan, about the importance of student involvement.

By broadcasting the Winter Olympics you are making me one aggravated sports journalist. Anything that involves dressing up in a sequined one-piece outfit while dancing on ice to a song called, "The Swan", is not a sport. The biggestfigureskating star is Johhny Weir, who should just add a "D" to his last name and call it a day. Anything that involves cleaning the ice in front of a large disc that is gliding down the rink is not what I would call entertainment. If you throw some skates on some maids and tell them to hit the ice, it is not a sport. Anything that involves a person holding on for dear life while sliding down a frozen chute, although it may be entertaining to see them crash, it's not a sport. In my mind, events fall into three categories which consist of activities, competitionas, and sports. Figure skating and snowboarding should be considered a competition because the result is determined by the opinion of a judge. Sports should not be viewed like movies. Just because Ebert and Roeper liked your 1080 on the half-pipe doesn't mean you deserve a 10 out of 10. Curling is an activity, because how can you honestly consider an event with a broom a sport? Bobsledding and pretty much the rest of the Winter Olympics should be considered activities, not sports. The only events in the Olympics that I consider sports are ice hockey and speed skating and you may already know my feelings about ice hockey. How can you consider these Olympics a success? I mean "American Idol" kicked your freezing butts in viewer-ship on February 14, with the wannabe singers racking in 27 million to your 16.1 million. Heck, at least in "American Idol" the singers are taunted if they suck. I wish I could do that to Bode Miller. It was supposed to be Miller Time at these Olympics, but the drunkard party animal has been more disappointing than a hunting trip with Dick Cheney. There was so much hype around this guy that he is one of the few Olympians who had an advertising campaign in major magazines and networks with his campaign of joinbode. com. I want to know where they want us to join Bode, at the bar maybe, because it clearly isn't at the medal podium? How do you expect us to know the rules of some of these crazy events if you don't even know what to call these Olympics? Is it Torino or Turin? I think I could get used to some of these activities if you exposed me to them more than once every four years. I might actually get into these events if you televised the national skeleton championships, if they even have those. Also, your marketing for these games has been horrible. You guys have focused your media attention on three competitors, Miller, Shaun White and Michelle Kwan. I've already told you what I think about Miller. You would think I would have support for White since he is from Carlsbad, CA but I can't stand listening to the "dude" be interviewed. I speak a lot of slang in my daily life and don't always use proper English, but I for sure don't use it 24/7 like White. Now Kwan, there was no chance in hell she was actually going to compete at Turin/Torino and all the talk leading up to these games regarded her. You don't see the NBA marketing its injured stars to get people to watch their sport. It just doesn't make business sense. What kills me most about these events is how disappointed my peers are when the Americans don't win a gold medal. Honestly, how can people be upset that the U.S. doesn't win at the skeleton event? It's not like you lost your skeleton fantasy league because American didn't bring home the gold. Does America really have to squash every other country in everything? Can't we just leave the world domination thing to George W? I will be waiting for your response at Sando026@csusm. edu. Warm Regards, "Jock Talk" w/Josh Sandoval P.S. to the Olympic committee: If you get any wild ideas regarding the start-up of a Spring Olympics, make sure Easter egg hunts aren't part of the events.

San Marcos (At Via Vera Cruz acrossfromthe Restaurant Row) 752-1826 mit mr new website www.tanattheisl andsxom �T he Spectre of Avarice Letter BY ZACHARY J. SIMON Pride Staff Writer There's little mind and less matter in wondering how many other bathroom mirrors received similar treatment here on the last Holy Day till the next. The offense or offering lies not in contemplating the implications of public-private ads n' art, but in reflecting upon the journey through society's holiday gauntlet. No matter how well rounded or timely we consider our relation to Holy Days, most often we do worse than 'forget' their significance, we neglect it. From the Winter Dates to the new calendar, to the matching strike, the members of a comparatively diverse society fill their moats and erect their towers, convinced that their concept of one holiday to the next is not only profoundly sovereign, but perpetually under attack. Thus it happens, we sing 'with' our hearts and our families while we sing 'at' our cares and anyone who dares to hold less wholly to our concept of our hole. Like a frightened animal, we crap on anything that tries to swallow us into its fold, or we vomit out our gorgings for the proper nourishment of the neglected. We want OUR plans for that particular day to be recognized, thus projecting our exaggerated joy and reflecting our exaggerated disgust when we should be saving it for its source. Rolling your eyes at someone when they share a litany of joys, whatever the reason, makes no impact on your mood or their's greater than the chasm stretched between you both. Asking "why don't you" when we clearly mean "what's wrong with you" divides you just as much. Everyone can enjoy good food and drink, gifts, and times of reflection; the occasion should be only a slightly more than minor detail. Don't be unconsciously greedy; there are enough hours in enough days in enough calendars for everyone. It is challenge enough to reconcile our Good God Tastes, the living spirits we ascribe to our favorite things, when so many are willing to turn our headstones into cobblestones. This is not even to mention the choking walls that hoard t o t he E ditor Photo by Zachary J. Simon / The Pride our refinements and rarities, our secret and artificially shameful pleasures. Beware the talking hands of Avarice, of the will to accumulate what is neither used nor consumed, keep sure and silent that they belong to a dealing demon rather than a riddling ghost. In other words, keep holidays, like possessions, in progressive circulation or serene orbit, that they become neither chains nor an army restless for conquest. The shadows and shades of your experiences are your own. Share them as you will, but to truly "share" them, you must first be asked. Abstain as a choice, as precious choice is neither desperate nor pious, as another's Holy Day should be no more your concern than another's chosen mate. There's enough for all, and too much to be had to be burdened by having it all. As a graduate student who pays large fees to ASI and feels as though I get nothing in return for my fees, I was very excited to recieve a flyer stating that there would be free Cirinabons in celebration of Valentine's day. So you can imagine my anger to discover that your flyer was indeed a hoax and there were no free Cinnabons to be had. I was in the area of the library between 11:15 and 1:00, and I saw no students with Cinnabons, no signs announcing where the Cinnabons could be, and no replacement for the missing Cinnabons. I know this may seem petty, but I pay alot. Give me my freaking Cinnabons.

The French police needed his expertise inside the crime scene. But he really isn't there to help. Langdon is actually the prime suspect for the murder. Bezu Fache, the captain of the French police, brought Langdon inside the Louvre only to interrogate him. While I expected one thing, Brown quickly changed the pace and brought a twist at the end of the scene. Again, I was hooked. I wanted to know what happened next. The story suddenly becomes a learning experience. Langdon's descriptions inside the Louvre sounded like a textbook (probably because Langdon is a professor). I found it refreshing because it actually made me feel right inside the building. The story shifts and Brown introduces Sophie Neveu. She is a cryptologist who also happens to be the granddaughter of Sauniere. Suddenly, Langdon and Sophie become fugitives and race against time to solve the mystery. But that's just half the book in a This year, I didn't want to fail prey into Hollywood's latest adaptation because I hate watching a movie before reading the book. So I finally finished Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code." I don't want to give the plot away but the book begins with a murder scene. Right away, Brown hooks me in. Jacques Sauniere is the curator of the Louvre. He is murdered inside the Grand Hall of the museum and the plot begins. The point of the story is NOT to find the killer. That's just too easy. Brown tells you who the killer is. But before Sauniere died, he left a bunch of clues pointing out the killer and the key to an ancient secret. That's where Robert Langdon comes in. He is a Harvard Professor specializing in art history and religious symbology. But Brown's character is not the typical mystery detective. He's smarter. He's so good that Brown brought him back into this novel (Langdon first appeared in 'Vinci nutshell. There are secret societies involved with the Vatican. There's a great part where Langdon gives a brief explanation behind the meaning of Leonardo Da Vinci's, "Mona Lisa," and there's the history of the Holy Grail included as well. I'll stop right there and let you decide if you want to know more. After reading this book, I felt not only refreshed but smarter. This novel is listed as a fiction but somehow, I want to believe that everything is true. With all the controversy surrounding this book, Brown manages to keep the reader educated and guessing all the time. The chapters are short and Brown's cliffhangers and sharp twists make it easy to read. The puzzles and clues entertained and made it impossible for me to put the book down. "The Da Vinci Code," has been on the best seller's list for over 146 weeks. Hollywood just couldn't wait to adapt Brown's novel. The movie will hit theaters on May 19, this year. With Ron Howard directing the film and Tom Hanks as the lead role, this movie will definitely be a blockbuster. si PALOHÄR COLl£G £ SwimJF The Patomar College GEAR IIP Program la looking itor outgoing and energetic students who ate seeking a leadership role.

Although pumpkin-flavored and brewed beers probably sound distasteful to some and seasonal to others, if its good enough it doesn't hurt to have a sip of it year round. The Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin Ale is a squash-tinted beer that is worth a taste in any season. Brewed by the Buffalo Bill Brewery in Hay ward, California, this ale uses actual pumpkin in the brewing process, with added spices common to pumpkin pie to top it off. Surprisingly mild in flavor, this ale pours orangeamber in color and has a smooth texture and feel. Featuring a hint of pumpkin flavor and aroma, Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin Ale has just the right amount of spices added to give it a perfect balance. Nutmeg and cinnamon come through the strongest as the lead spices, but do not overpower the taste of pumpkin and ale. To top this off there is little to no taste of bitterness with this beer, the majority probably being overshadowed by the pumpkin and spices.

Unfortunately in a case of love, life can put a damper on the pursuit of happiness. Perhaps the ability for two individuals to overcome this damper is a true measure of just how deep love is. "Something New" is a movie about the ups and downs of love seasoned with the implications of interracial relations. All of this is showcased through the story of a single and successful black woman whose path crosses with a charming and witty white man and unfolds in their journey through a romance that is entirely unfamiliar yet comforting on both sides. "Something New" is directed by newcomer Sanaa Hamri whose previous works are with Mariah Carey for both her Intimate Portrait, and Around The World features. For Something New Hamri teamed up with the more prevalent Kriss Turner who is best recognized for her screenwriting skills on the series Everybody Hates Chris, and TheBernieMac Show. Something New is also a host to an appropriate ensemble of actors such as, Sanaa Lathan, from the movies Life, Alien Vs. Predator, and Love and Basketball, and Simon Baker from the movies The Ring Two, Land of The Dead, and Red Planet. Supporting actors and actresses include Donald Faison, Mike Epps, and Taraji Henson. The movie opens up on the life of strict and sophisticated Kenya McQueen (Sanaa Lathan), a woman at the prime of her career who is in need of two things: a man to share her life with, and a landscaper for her undeveloped backyard. Kenya's three best friends, also successful black women, insist that she "let go and letflow,"encouraging her to be more lax in her standards for dating. That is of course, until her coworker sets her up on a blind date with a white man. Kenya shuts down the ever so eager Brian (Simon Baker) and proceeds as though she'll never see him again, until she encounters him at her coworkers engagement party. Impressed by the landscape work he's done for her coworker, Kenya employs Brian to work on her backyard with a strictly business mindset going in. However, Kenya's heart gets the best of her as shefindsherself breaking with habit and embracing difference through the inspiration Brian gives her. More important than the romance that Brian and Kenya share on screen are the issues the two must face, which could be determined as the bottom line of the entire script. Interracial dating and marriages come under the scrutiny of all onlookers, including family, close friends and the most harsh, critics. Within this realm of intolerance the innermost workings of a relationship, can be tested too as each member must in one sense be confident and comfortable in their own skin, and in the other sense be able to empathize with the implications of their partners' race. When this issue presented itself in the movie, viewers were given a glimpse of a truly impressive display of honesty and emotion through acting. Screenwriter, Kriss Turner spared no details in outlining scenes where the reality of politics enter a romance at any given time with no warning and the relationship's partici- Photo Courtesy of Focus Features pants must either successfully (or unsuccessfully) cope with it. Such interactions on screen brought the audience at Krikorian's Auditorium 7 to a chilled silence. All in all, "Something New" delivers on its name; a refreshing and different perspective on an old and unceasing issue in our nation. It leaves audiences to consume in its message as a truthful relay of what most US American couples face, as well as presents a whole new perspective on the story of black and white. H ow To ... M ake G uacamole 1 The ultimate snack: mix, mash & dip awa BYDUSTIN FRANKS Pride Staff Writer Afineguacamole is rare when stumbled upon; it makes a great snack or an amazing appetizer that can feed an entire party in just a few quick and easy steps. This simple to make, tasty treat will only cost you a few bucks and will add some spice to your college dining appetite. Everyone's got their own taste preferences, but here's a great way of getting started and devising your own avocado masterpiece. This recipe makes about a cereal bowl full of guacamole heaven, here's what you need. - Bowl - Knife - Fork and Large spoon - (2) Avocados - (1) Lime -(1) Tomato - (Vi) Onion - A dash of cilantro - Garlic Salt -Lemon Pepper - Black Pepper Step 1: Choose your avocados wisely, the softer the better. They should be heavy in hand, and have a clean oily smell. If the avocados aren't ripe yet, throw them together in a brown paper bag. Apparently, once one starts to soften up it releases a chemical that makes the others do the same. Slice the avocados in half and use the knife to gently remove the pit. Use the spoon like your scooping ice cream, and remove the avocado from the skins and throw them in the bowl. Tip: you can cut up the avocado in long slices before you scoop to make mixing easier. Step 2: Dice up the tomatoes, onions and cilantro and throw them into the bowl, or take a couple of heaping spoonfuls of pre-made salsa and throw them in the mix. This saves time and cleanup, and usually we all have salsa sitting in the fridge. Step 3: Cut your lime in half and squeeze into the bowl, the more you use the tangier your guacamole becomes. Step 4: Add about 3/4 teaspoon of garlic salt into bowl. Then add lemon pepper and black pepper to your likening. Tip: add a little, then taste, add a little then taste. You don't want to destroy your guacamole by adding to much spice. The garlic salt is key, like the lime, it's the secret ingredient. Step 5: Mix all ingredients together with a spoon, the more you mash the smoother your guacamole will be. If you like it chunky, use a fork and lightly stir, resembling the appearance of thick mashed potatoes. Mess around with what you like and don't. Keep adding ingredients a little at a time to your liking and get creative, if you like it spicy, throw some Tapatio or Cholula hot sauce in. Now that you've got your homemade guacamole, throw it on a salad, sandwich or have it as a side with chips. Guacamole can spoil fast though, to keep it green and fresh save the avocado pit, place in back in the bowl, cover and refrigerate immediately. Never cut up the pit of the avocado, it will make your guacamole bitter with a weird texture. Enjoy your snack or spread and remember to share with others. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
