KATHY C MBS/CONTRIBUTING WRITER O returning to CSU are displaced workers moving to another career. People with degrees are t h e "best equipped to make the change to a new profession," h e said. "These students will be penalized by 'double dipping' tuition." The increase comes on the heels of a $50 per unit increase already in place at California Community Colleges. Officials at Palomar College reported a 53 percent drop in the number of college graduates enrolled this spring. College graduates have become the latest target for fee hikes at California State Universities with an increase that could shoot as high as $4,500. Beginning this fall, graduates who have a bachelor's degree will be required to pay a "differential fee," $150 more per unit than non-graduates. The fee would be added to CSU's standard $1,300 annual fee. T h e additional fee is detrimental t o .

Stacy added that many of the students teachers and nurses. This adds to the impact forecasted by a report called "Economic Impact of the CSU on the California Economy," written by Robert Girling of Sonoma State University, Sherry Keith of San Francisco State University and George Goldman at the University of California, Berkeley. The report suggests that budget cuts will result in a 7 percent to 12 percent decrease in thé number of degrees granted each year by t h e 20 CSU campuses for the next nine years. Teaching is likely to suffer because CSU trains nearly 75 percent of California's public school teachers, the report said. Stacy closes campus after power outage ROMAN S. K E /EDITOR-1N-CHIEF O NIG Cal State University San Marcos President Dr. Bill Stacy shut down the campus Feb. 18 after yet another major storm pummeled the county, leaving the campus without power. According to Stacy, San Diego Gas & Electric crews were called to the area after a power outage along Barham Drive cut electricity to the university. Stacy said that despite the inconvenience of the outage, it gave the university the opportunity to test its back-up electricity generator. "We have an emergency generator and back-up power on campus, and it was t h e first time we had occasion to turn it o n — and it failed," said Stacy. Stacy said h e was told that power would not be restored forfiveor six hours after SDG&E crews made it to the scene, so h e cancelled classes for the day since many rooms without windows and rooms with computers could not be used. He said that in hindsight, however, this was a mistake. He said "the president's inexperience with the power going off in California" led to thedecisiontoclosethecampus, "which was a big mistake to do." Stacy explained that power was restored considerably earlier than the original time estimate, and late afternoon and evening classes could have been held. He said that one professor who was at a conference during die day in Los Angeles rushed back down in driving rain to meet her class only to find the campus closed. "They told u s it would be two to three ROMAN S.

The loss of power was caused by damagefromrecent heavy storms. hours before they could examine theproblem, and another five or six hours to repair. Well, they were able to repair itwithin two hours," said Stacy. T h e president said that although closing the campus may not have been the best idea, it was necessary for safety since it was impossible to work in the darkened conditions. Stacy also indicated thattheeventcalled attention to having a ôet plan for similar situations in the future. "Now looking at it, I'm sorry we didn't have a system to coordinate (closing) and opening (the campus)," h e said. Major rains also caused flooding last Friday on the first floor of Craven Hall, leaving approximately two inches of water in some offices and in t h e Student Health Services center, an official with the center said. Workers at t h e scene cleaning up the flooded offices refused comment on the situation, and officials with the Facilities department could not be reached for comment as to t h e flood's cause. �wkaú/\¡ews WASC accreditation team coming to campus T h e campus community is asked to mark its calendars for t h e upcoming accreditation visit by a review board which will determine if Cal State San Marcos will be an accredited university, said Diane (Johnson) Martin, assistant vice president for academic affairs. The accreditation site visit by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) will take place March 23-26, she said. Students are encouraged to take part in the accreditation process by reviewing CSUSM's self-study, a document outlining the university's goals for its accreditation, said Martin. Copies of the document are available in the Associated Students office or on reserve in the library, she said. "The purpose of accreditation is that (it) establishes standards for universities... to further educational excellence," said Martin. aAnd then what happens is that each institution is responsible for defining its own characteristics for excellence." The university is then reviewed to see if it is meeting those goals. Accreditation is then decided by the visiting committee from WASC. She said students are also involved in the process, as the WASC officials interview members of the campus community to help determine their decision. According to Martin, interviewers will talk with a representative sample of the campus (i.e. students, staff, administration and faculty) and ask questions related to the self-study. The WASC officials then write up their report determining if the university is worthy of accreditation. Martin said that by reading and understanding the university's self-study, students can help meet the goals presented in the document. Additional information can be obtained by calling Martin at 752-4052 or Nancy Curry at 752-4129, Martin said.

Scott said that h e was also opposed to having the FBI at the fair, since h e alleged that they, too, are sexist and homophobic, as well as the Border Patrol. "I feel that (having) these institutions on campus is a violation of Cal State San Marcos' Mission S tatement , and (CSUSM) president Dr. (Bill) Stacy and t h e administration - should apologize for this action."

Unless private donors go to bat for the athletics program, inter-collegiate sports won't be in line for a solid kick-off for at least three more years at Cal State San Marcos. Although intramural sports will continue to grow over the next few years, funding for an inter-collegiate athletics program will not be reconsidered until 1997, the same year it was scheduled to come on-line.

T h e first effort is to get the facilities on campus," he said. "The second concern is inter-collegiate sports and that will require private fundraising." The college will look to private sources to help fund the program and to develop playing fields, which in the initial stages would be used for intramural sports. The state will foot the bill for the land for thefields,however Stacy said. this is where the state's commitment stops. In the meantime, faculty teams will concentrate on defining the curriculum for Physical Education majors. Planning is still in the early stages, but when the P.E. department comes on-line it will be on the cutting edge of 21st century technology, says Dr. Richard Millman, vice president of academic affairs. T her e are two ways to build a P.E. department," h e said. T her e will be no activity to train coaches or to teach someone to play volleyball." Instead, CSUSM will offer a "scientifically based physical education." That scientific base will include requiring students to become knowledgeable in biology, chemistry, anatomy and the science of motion. In addition to housing classrooms for a wide range of majors and a computer lab, the P.E. building will also be a center for fitness and recreation, Stacy said. �PIONEER / WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3 ,199 3 P lan s a r e c urrentl y in t h e works t hi s m ont h f o r a b ab y clothes and materials drive for women and men who a r e facing a crisis pregnancy.

One in particular is the addition of a wide variety of healthful drinks, s nack s and meals t o choose from in t h e Dome Café. Currently, students can find food either at the café, which offers mini Pizza Hut pizzas or salad, or at the University Store, which sells items like cold sandwiches and chips.

"We looked at that issue early on," said Punch. "What we (including Zomalt) looked at was discrimination against homosexuals and as (the military, FBI, etc.) are government agencies as we are a government agency, we cannot prohibit their freedom of speech" justthe same as students can exhibit theirs in their interes t Punch said that since President Clinton h a s made some changes in terms of recruitment practices concerning the issue, the situation has been helped as well. Meeker, who manages the University Store (both are part of Aztec Shops), say they are aware of the problems facing students when it comes to food on campus:first,the lack of variety and / or healthfulfoodsatboth thecafé and bookstore, and secondly, the fact that the café closes at 2 p.m., leaving afternoon and evening students with insufficient food availability. T ogether , M arten s and Meeker are planning to offer a greater variety of foods to better fit the needs of morning, afternoon and evening students. Until the student population increases and the café can afford a larger workforce, it will con- tinue to close a t 2 p.m., according to Martens. Instead, she plans to improve the variety of food offered in the Dome Café. Plans include the opening of a taco bar offering tacos sold by the ounce, a pasta bar and perhaps a french toast and p ancak e b reakfas t available between 8 a m . and 10 a.m. For the health-minded, products by Naked Food will be offered.These include Naked Juice fruit and vegetable concoctions a s well as a variety of Nutrimental fruit and vegetable salads. In addition to the snacks already offered at the café, Martens said She also said that Scottwanted to interrupt the actual fair going on in the Dome, but was asked to p rotes t outside t h e building, which he did. "I understand Donald Scott's position," she said. "And while he h a s t h e r igh t to f reedo m of speech, so do the employers." D espit e t h e c ontroversy , Punch said that the inaugural career fair was a success. "The employer reactions were extremely favorable," she said, adding that the employers in attendance were given evaluation, forms that showed the enthusiastic response. Punch also added thatstudentevaluations were also very favorable. She said t ha t e mployer s pointed outthataccommodations for them were excellent and that the caliber of students was very high. Student evaluations showed t ha t t hey , too, w er e overall pleased but would have liked more recruiters, she said. According to Punch, some employers who planned to attend the fair pulled out at t h e last minute because of hiring freezes andfinancial constraints. Shealso said three applicationswere made with the Peace Corps during the event With the success of this first fair, Punch said she is now looking to next fall's career fair. She said the morning segment will consist of recruiters from businesses and the afternoon fair will focus on graduate schools. "If we. have a good response from recruiters now, it will build a foundations for future fairs," she said. SEE F O /PAGE 12 OD �Pioneer Respect freedom of choice, voice Freedom of speech and choice at a university campus is of paramount importance, as it apparently is at Cal State San Marcos. There was no greater example of that recently than during the Inaugural Career Fair, where student Donald Scott let it be Oar w known his views about lifting the ban on gays in the military. Although Pioneer a gree s with this stand, it is also equally important for others to express the'opposite view, as was shown by the presence of military recruiters during the career fair. Career Center Director Sandy Punch and other university officials made the right decision in letting the recruiters on campus for this reason. No matter how one looks at it, the lifting of the ban is imminent, and no matter how thin you slice it, gays are in the military already — they always have been. Until the day comes when the ban is lifted, however, it is important to show tolerance towards the military's current position, and to allow other students the freedom to chose a military career. GHrrŒffTDSMK MET tewe THE m C B O R T ï B t f When it comes to problems, the best policy is totellit like it is If there is one thing a journalist can't stand ifs being dictated to over what is or is not a story. One recent event on campus drove that home for me. These last two months are fast going down in San Diego history as some of the wettest on record. This would surely have an unanticipated effect on the workings of brand new buildings. As a result, leaks, floods and power outages would be expected here at Cal State San Marcos as kinks in the structures are being worked o u t Apparently, however, some in the Far ciMesdepartmenttake this very seriously; seriously enough to dictate to me the importance of stories concerning these issues. LastFriday, a s l went to Student Health Services to take care of some business, I was told by one of the officials there that there had been a flood on thefirstfloor of Craven Hall, where Student Health Services is located. Sure enough, behind a doorway in the complex there were Facilities workers cleaning up the mess left by the flood. I had my camera bag and notebook in hand, thinking that this might make an interesting story for the paper. For the first round, when I asked about what had happened, all I got were dirty and suspicious looks, as if there was a cover-up or Point With this reasoning I said that there wasn't, and one of them snapped back at me with a quick "Yes, there are." Next, I asked why they weren't being cooperative and they claimed that it would make them look bad if this situation were reported in the paper. Maybe it's just me, but there's nothing "bad" about seeing Facilities workers rushing diligently to clean up and solve a problem. Sure, they may have been under a tremendous amount of stress, but that gave them no right to dictate to me the importance of the story; they could have just amply referred me to the head of the department for information. Ironically, no one was at the office when I called and the voice mail system was not answering. Come press time this week, I had no choice but to run a blurb about the incident with little if any information. The fact is that there is something wrong with the buildings if they are flooding like Craven Hall, and the campus community has the right to know about i t But apparently, some people in Facilities don't see it that way. They gave the appearance that problems with the buildings are to be kept secret from the people who utilize the facilities every day. By doing t ha t they give the whole operation an appearance that is much more suspicious than I know it really is. o^ {/i&w ROMAN S. KOENIG something. This, however, was only t h e tip of the iceberg. Afterfinishingmy business in Student Health Sendees, I promptly left and went around to the front entrance of the building on the first floor. Just past the entry way to my right was the same hallway filled with what seemed like two inches of water on the floor. Just as I got my camera out of the bag, the workers stopped what they were doing and l ef t I asked them what was wrong and they said they didn't want their picture taken. I had no problem with that whatsoever. I f s always been my belief that if someone doesn't want a newspaper camera in their face, that right should be respected. I thought then I could at least get some information about what had happened. Then they got hostile with me, telling me that there were more important things to cover on campus. ...Not on a stormy Friday afternoon. Cal State San Marcos President Dr. Bill Stacy, when interviewed about the campus closure after the power outage on Feb. 18, had no problem telling Pioneer that there may have been flaws in how the closure was handled. He even put a bright side to i t saying that it brought to light the importance of haviiig a set plan in future instances of that nature. Those in Facilities who think that not talking about the problem is the avenue to take should reevaluate their way of thinking. The treatment I received last Friday was unfair to me, unfair to the campus community and unprofessional to say the least Physical problems, as I said, are to be expected in a new building, and although the flood looked bad, it would have been simple to explain what the problems were and how they were being rectified rather than to hide them under the table as these workers deemed necessary to do. If everyone treated me or any other reporter of this newspaper with the attitude that they can judge what goes in this publication, Pioneer would not be the independent campus voice it is striving to be. And the losers in that scenario would be you, the reader. �öfreetTäl» Q uestion : How could the Rodney King trial been handled better?

Letter shows writer's ignorance about gays I am in complete shock and utter disbelief after reading Irving Davis' letter regarding gays in the military in the last issue of the Pioneer. This disbelief stemsfromt h e fact that even now, in 1993, there is still ignorance in regards to the homosexual lifestyle and what it entails and the stupidity Mr. Davis shows when discussing AIDS. The question of letting gays in the military is moot There have been gays in the military since day one. If gays haven't made great contributions to the armed services, Mr. Davis, then why are gay veteran groups all over the country? There isa misconception that gay men are always on "the make" and that they only joined the military to meet men. I know of several gay men and women who have been (and actively still are) a part of our defense system. T hes e men and women joined for the same reasons that heterosexuals have: to serve their country, to get money for college and to see the world. Mr. Davis says to be aware of the "smokescreens" homosexuals are using to advance in society under the "guise of legal rights and discrimination.'' This is not a smokescreen. Your sexual orientation should make no difference in the workplace or in our existence in society; we are human beings just like everybody else and wish to be treated as so. We aren't asking for special privileges in this world, just for the discrimination and hatred against u s to end. As far as the death sentence we are all facing, do you not realize that the rate of Believe m ewhenlsay being gayisnot a choice. If it was do you think I would choose to be an object of ridicule and degradation by society and to hear ignorant people such a s yourself spou t s uc h prejudicial statements about something I had no control over? As far as "inevitable early death" that members of thegay community face, what do you base this on? Yes, there have been many members of thegay community who have died before their time (as the song says "...only the good die young."), but homosexuals lead long, h ealthy and extremely productive lives — just a s heterosexuals do. I'm sorry to be the one to break this to you Mr. Davis, but we have been around for thousands of years and we will be here 'till the very end. You say our lifestyle offers no excuse and no future? It is true thathomosexualrelationships do not bring about procreation, but let me just say that I am looking to a very bright future. I am a junior here at CSU San Marcos working ongettingmyBachelor'sdegreeinEnglish and my teaching credential (yes, Mr. Davis, I am going to be a teacher. Can you handle that?). (/iect/g PUBLIC FORUM h eterosexual s contractin g AIDS h a s surpassed the homosexual community due to I.V. drug use, blood transfusions and unsafe sex practices? Although the gay community h a s received most of t h e attention in regards to the plight of AIDS, that is only because we are one of the few segments of society trying to educate misinformed people like yourself, Mr. Davis. AIDS is not a gay disease, it is everybody's disease. It has no face. T h e "wild plight ... into an early demise" that the gay community is heading for is absolutely blasphemous. We are not looking for a hedonistic existence. Like heterosexuals, we too are looking for that special someone, a loving partner and companion, and I am not asking for yours or society's approval on how I live my life. I am sure my dating practices are far tamer and safer than most heterosexuals. As far as the self-inflicted misery that accompanies being gay, that too is also untrue. The only misery afflicted upon me is by the uninformed members of society like yourself, Mr. Davis. Being gay is not something you choose. I knew I was different as far back as grade school. I was born this way, I wasn't recruited! I am also in a loving monogamous relationship with a law e nforcemen t student whom I hope to be with for a long time. No future, Mr. Davis?

Those patterns make life more real to me.' Dr. W. Komla Amoaku, director of Visual and Performing Arts I tV a rhythm that binds the mind, body and spirit Andfor Dr. W. Komla Amoaku, director of Visual and Performing Arts at Cal State San Marcos and the band Sankofa, the music is a rhythmic melody that comes straight from the soul. From traveling around the world, Amoaku, a native of Ghana and a virtuoso of t h e drums "Gyembe" and "Apantema," discovered diverse cultures have a common link. T h e result is Sankofa, a band that incorporates a cross-cultural blend of Afndmmusicand dance, calypso and American jazz. Amoaku's travels led to his interest in exploring the influence ofAfrican music in South America and the Caribbean. "I wanted to identify some of t h e elements in those various styles of African music," he said. The music had "a common ancestry, an ancestry that can be traced to a common root. Regardless of where you find it, those elements are always there,* Common e lement s flow through the heart of all art forms in Ghana. Unlike Western cultures, Ghanaians don't categorize music, dance and art, Amoaku said. Rather than approaching music intellectually u sin g a structured format, artists approach t hei r c raf t intuitively. Children play games that reinforce an attitude toward rhythm. Where Western cultures develop the eyes before the ears, Ghanaians develop the ears before the eyes, he added. "I was born into a society that views the arts as an integral part of everyday life," h e said. "My exposure to the arts came by virtue of my being part of my traditional environment." Amoaku began playing the drums at the age of 5 when his uncle gave him a toy drum. The child of an artistic family, he learned by example, imitating adults and participating in adult activities. Rhythm became incorporated into everyday life. "For me the drum is like pouring out my soul," he said. "It is a rhythm and speech instrument. So I was naturally drawn to it." Because of the instrument's ability to vary its pitches, the drummer can approximate the intonation and the rhythm in the traditional Ghanaian language. "It's like singinga melodic line. Those patterns make life more real to me." Not that Amoaku was without Western musical training. While in college he studied classicalguitar, however the two had a rather strained relationship.

Why is it considered rare? As Sprague explained it, the group seldomly meets for concerts because members of t h e quartet belong to other musical organizations. "It's a very high-maintenance group," said Sprague, adding that this is t h e first time the group has met for a performance infiveyears. T h e consort is made up of t hre e jazz musicians and four classical symphony artists. Works to be performed include originals by Sprague, and pieces by Bach, Mozart and pianist Chick Corea. A resident of Del Mar, Sprague has toured, made 21 records and h a s played and worked with the likes of Corea and bassist Bob Magnusson. Sprague said that t h e String Consort came about six or seven years ago after h e was inspired by pianist Corea. Sprague says that h e g et s inspiration for his works from one simple thing. "Mostly (my works are) originally inspired by either (musicians) that I've heard or actual people," h e explained. "One (song) is called 'Amadeus,' written for M ozart , and ' Mahavishnu ' f o r J oh n McLaughlin, a great jazz guitarist.'' Along with the consort, Sprague plays with other groups, including his Electric Band, in which he plays a guitar synthesizer Born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1955, Sprague and his family moved to Del Mar in 1963 after spending time in Colorado. He took up guitar at t h e age of 12, later studying with San Diego jazz guitarist Bill Coleman and forming his first group, t h e Minor Jazz Quartet. Two performances of the String Consort will be held on campus, t h e first at 5 p.m. and t h e second at 7 p.m. T h e concerts will be located in room ACD 102.

Protocol for mountain lion encounters on campus Recent sightings of mountain lions in the area raise concern for local officials for the safety of students and résidents B Y N ADA SEWIDAN STAFF W RITER A mountain lion sighting occurred on Wednesday, Feb. 12 in CSUSM parking lot F. A reliable source confirmed the sighting to CSUSM campus police at 10:00 a.m. Although the sighting was confirmed, CSUSM campus police officers did not have a visual on the animal. There is a special protocol CSUSM campus police officers follow once a sighting as this one is called in . CSUSM Sgt . Herman Hernandez explained that if a sighting is confirmed from a reliable source who can accurately describe the animal, then campus police notifies CSUSM students and staff via e-mail. A patrol officer is sent to the scene where the sighting was originally reported and conducts a visual evaluation of the perimeter. Campus police also notifies the San D iego County Fish and Game Department. The Fish and Game Department M ountain lion p hoto courtesy o ffish and wildlife services can be found a t http://digitalmedia.fws.gov/cdrii/singleitem/collection/natdig1ib/id/12981 / rec/3. sends an officer to patrol the area and once the animal is spotted, it is captured, tagged and eventually released back in the wild. Sgt. Hernandez said the only circumstance where an officer would shoot the wild animal is when it is life threatening to people nearby. Sergeant Hernandez said CSUSM campus police o fficers are trained and briefed on how to respond to mountain lion and other wildlife sightings on campus. He emphasized that students and staff should be familiar with the procedure as well. "Keep the campus police phone number programmed in your cell phone," Sgt. Hernandez said. "Whenever wildlife related, or anything else, it's always good to be aware o f your surroundings." In the past 10 years, there have been a total of 3 to 5 both confirmed and non-confirmed mountain lion sightings. Other animals that have been previously found around the perimeter include bobcats and coyotes. In order to maximize safety in situations as this, students and staff are also advised to not run from the animal and to not seem intimidated, but make themselves seem as large as possible.

UCSD has a Student Services Center dedicated to being the "one-stop resource located in the heart of campus" according to the website. The U SU is unique in its layout and design; it has an air of sophistication and modernity that envelops every student who steps through the clear doors. However some students have mentioned that they have had some trouble with the new design. "The bathrooms are strange, it's difficult to find them," one CSUSM student said. Along with its fantastic d esign come many new and convenient locations for students to eat a meal or simply soak in the sun. The U SU has an amphitheater that has thè capability to seat around 4 00 people. It also has a spacious roof patio on the fourth floor that connects one wing to the next. On this patio students may be found sitting on silver chairs and tables or lounging on big comfortable sofas that face the beautiful view of San Marcos. "I like to read on the patio whenever I have free time. Especially when it was earlier on in the semester, I was able to enjoy the sunset" Yadira, a CSUSM student, said. The U SU, along with the new lounge areas, now provides new food location» for students to choose from, although reviews have been mixed about whether the changes have been good. A CSUSM student lounging on a couch on the patio voiced her opinions, saying that the U SU "has its good and its bad." T he n ew University Student U nion building provides repose o n t he campus. P hoto provided by Sarah Hughes. "It looks super nice, the bad thing is that I wish that they had somewhat better food and also heaters on the patio to warm us up on cool evenings," she also said. Although many things can be said about the U SU Build- ing now, there is no doubt that it is a great new addition to CSUSM's campus. Whether students find themselves loving the new location or disliking some things, it has definitely earned a spot in the university and in the hearts of many students.

The size of military troops in the Air Force, Army and Marine Corps are being reduced in order to accommodate impending budget plans. CSUSM veteran students personalize this issue and explain what to expect according to USA Today. The Marine Corps is projected to decrease its size by 5,000 troops in the following three years reducing the military from approximately 190,000to175,000. The Air Force also faces cutbacks of roughly several thousand troops through 2019. Likewise, the Army estimates that more than 100,000 soldiers will be cut to a force of 420,000 by 2019. Formally in the Marine Corps, CSUSM student and Student Veterans Organization President, Claudia Oreegal said that cutting military personnel will cause "lower morale" within the military.

Timothy Lee from Forbes states that the problem with legislation about neutrality is that neutrality i s not explicitly defined. "However desirable a neutral Internet might be the rule of law i s more important," Lee said. It is possible that rates to use services like Netflix may increase, but its unlikely mega corporations like it and Amazon will be unable to pay the fees. The real problem comes from the somewhat limited share of power inherent to the new system. There are less than six major companies that control cable, a number that could grow smaller with a potential acquisition of Time Warner by Comcast., It seems as if little will change for the customers, especially as more and more people turn to wireless data and cloud computing.

Food that motivates thoughts : the paleo diet B Y RACHEL SMITH STAFF W RITER Every day during U-Hour, students make their way towards the University Student Union and are offered a variety of food options. The human act o f consuming food is one of our most basic instincts, but food choices have an effect on brain chemistry. According to Professor Gary Wenk Ph.D., at Ohio State University, almost everything we consume, from coffee to meats, can directly or indirectly affect the brain. Foods that positively affect our brain function, over a long term period, contain high levels of anti-oxidants, such as fruits, vegetables, fish and olive oils. Anti-oxidants are connected to extended life spans. They combat the negative effects of oxygen and its correlation with aging.

If you aren't selective in choosing the right cleanse that's best for you, it could backfire and leave you disappointed. There are a couple key points to keep in mind in order to recap the benefits associated with juice cleansing. You don't need to cleanse to be healthy, so if you are doing it to be trendy it could leave you struggling, instead of feeling physically and emotionally balanced.

The program now boasts 13 teams, 2 4 conference championships and three national titles. N ow in 2 014, the athletic program is applying for NCAA DII membership and is confident in their resume. The Department of Athletics has had the vision of taking the university to the next level for a while now, and this is actually not the department's first attempt. With two previous applications, the department was turned down both times. There were too many competing applications that were better suited in the applicant pool. "We needed additional funds for operating, we needed to increase our scholarship allocations, we need- ed to add sports, w e needed to build athletic facilities and lastly we needed a comprehensive compliance program," Director of Athletics, Jennifer Milo, said. There have been some big changes in the 2 014 application that will really make it stand out and have drastically increased the program's chances . This includes plans for a full court gym on campus that is predicted to be completed by 2016 . An application for NCAA membership is so extensive that the department hired an outside consulting firm to help with the process. When the application was finally submitted on Feb. 1, 2 014, the document was a hefty 6 00 pages. From here, the NCAA will arrange a visit in April to check and see if the application matches with what the program is really doing. Although the NCAA was not pushing for CSUSM to apply, the CCAA, a conference within the division has been awaiting the application. This conference is full of 11 CSU campuses and UC San Diego. With a large assortment of close competition such as Cal State LA, Dominguez hills and UCSD in the conference, the Cougars will have an easier time scheduling games and it will be better for the overall budget. "There aje so many positives right now in our department. Really the sky is the limit with what we can accomplish. We have amazing student-athletes, top notch coaches and a committed support staff to make it all happen," Milo said.

They recently pumped themselves and their supporters up with a 9-7 win over San Diego Christian on Feb. 25. Overall, the team has plenty of hot bats and the offense side seems to be producing well for the Cougars. The pitching staff still appears to be having some trouble with their lowest ERA sitting at 3.24. One of the Cougars' key pitchers, Hunter Brown, a DI bounce back, currently has a 4.18 ERA in his 5 starts. According to head coach Dennis Pugh, the Cougars needed this win to get back in the game and they did. San D iego Christian is a top 2 0 team, so bringing back a victory is an accomplishment. The Cougars showed the Hawks that they really wanted the win in the fourth inning with Matt Arlington's home run and an RBI double from Dylan Costello. Key player l yier Bernard finished the game with a base hit to score Matt Arlington for the win. "With all this new talent on the field it takes a while for it to get going, but they work hard and will see results," Coach Pugh said. The Cougars just started their season and with this win against San Diego Christian their future is appearing brighter. Their next home game is 11 a.m. on March 8 against University of Antelope Valley. �Features Editor: Amanda Lenox cougarchron.features@gmail.com Wrench & Rodent Seabasstropub serves up great sushi Jäestaurant Review BYNIKKI THOMAS FEATURES COLUMNIST Wrench & Rodent Seabasstropub is a local's sushi joint. You wouldn't notice it atfirstbecause there is not a sign up and it is attached to Bull Taco, a Mexican restaurant. But once you arrive you'll be glad you did. The Seabasstropub gives off a surfer-rock flair. It has surf boards and skateboards posted up, as well as United Kingdom Flag artwork over green mossy walls. The space has a cozy feeling because it can't be bigger than 500 square feet. Our server was actually a sushi-chef (he broke his arm so he could only serve until it was healed) s o he knew to hook us up with good choices. We started o ff with a Beach Honey beer ($5.50) and a fruit wine ($6), where you can choose flavors such as raspberry or pomegranate. The wine had a very unique, sangria-like taste. For starters w e opted for the Ceviche Flight ( $8), which changes daily. When I tried it, it in eluded a tuna tartare, mango infused yellowtail and albacore with miso glaze. It was served with an extra large puffed sesame crisp that had an unfamiliar, crunchy texture but paired well with the soft delicate fish.

Nigiri sushi are slices of yellowtail fish over a bed of rice. One order had an arugula chimichurri and pickled red onion sauce, it was very creative and extremely tasty. Next to it was the traditional style, with the yellowtail belly over rice, and lemon to drizzle on top, which just mfelts in your mouth, to die for. After, we moved on to the sushi rolls, which included The Chronic ($12) and the Hedgehog ($13) The Chronic was crab, spicy tuna and avocado, wrapped in rice then seaweed and flask fried for a crunchy exterior. It was finished off with a spicy aioli as well as a sweet citrus sauce, excellent. The Hedgehog was different; it was a shrimp tempura roll inside with seared yellowtail on top finished with roasted garlic, truffle oil, salt and pepper. It was a little overwhelming and only recommended for those who like extra garlicky, spicy truffle flavors. After that w e ordered some salmon sashimi that tasted extra fresh and amazing. We could tell this place makes sure their fish is top-notch quality. To finish off dinner we chose a raspberry-rum sorbet ($5) that was huge and icy with a deep purple color, a perfect way t o end the night. These chefs have a true passion for presentation and display their creativity beautifully through their ingredients and fish selection. They profess that their "ingredients are carefully chosen, grown ourselves or made from scratch" and that is apparent at this new joint.

The Literature and Writing Club creates unique addition to CSUSM community BYNADA SEWIDAN STAFF W RITER When asked what makes the Literature and Writing Club unique, club President Michael O'Marah and Vice President Marie Parrish spoke about the importance of promoting literacy and love for books. However, the club is not only exclusive to literature and writing majors in general. O'Marah and Parrish emphasized the larger aspects of the club's purpose of getting involved in the CSUSM community and getting to know one another in a fiin, relaxed atmosphere. The LTWR Club, also known as Club Cognoscenti, was originally started four years ago by Michael O'Marah and Marie Parrish and is overseen by faculty Professor Heidi Breuer. At the start of the semester there were a total of four people members, however, the club has now expanded to approximately 30 to 4 0 people. There are several events planned for the semester including an open mike poetry reading on March 19, a trip to the Huntington library and a bonfire at the beach. There is also an ongoing Easter egg hunt where Club members hide Easter e ggs throughout various places on campus. Parish and O'Marah highlight the relaxed, laid back and friendly environment of the meetings. "You don't have to come to every meeting," O'Marah said. "We want people to enjoy being there and we want it to be fun ." Some of the events the LTWR club has held in the past include three minute skits of Shakespeare's witches from Macbeth and the whole Harry Potter Series. "We got to dress up and act out the plot in three minutes," said Parrish. "It was a rewarding experience because it got the attention of other students and got them C SUSM has a new club in town interested."

BY A N N E HALL DESIGN EDITOR > K? The first Public Relations Club to ever grace the halls of CSUSM has begun convening this spring. Members have high aspirations to help make a positive impact on society and motivate intellectual thinking. Each semester, the club will be aiding a specific campaign or organization to allow students to perform tasks and expectations of the public relations field. Students that are already involved in the org. are excited about the opportunities provided. "The main purpose of the Public Relations Club is to develop practical public relations skills through participating in community outreach and building civic relationships while fostering campus involvement " PR Club President, Tracey Engleton, said. "The mission of the club i s to combine theory and application for use in the real world, while also gaining experiences from professionals in the field, using social media and networking, along with many other PR tools that make public relations a fascinating career. Our club uses the definition of praxis to set our agenda [Praxis: putting theories to work]." "Our goal is to educate people. For me, personally, the experience I will gain from participating in this club will give me the leg up on the competition. I want to be in public relations and having this club in my background will show that I'm already doing campaigns and already making taglines and doing crisis letters. It's going to help me to look better against any competition," PR Club Secretary, Erin Taylor, said. "This club has been a dream of mine for a number for years, and for many of those years students have come to me, knowing my background in public relations, and have asked me about internships and how they might get involved in this field," club adviser, Dr. Fredi Avalos, said. "For me, this club allows the students to take what they've learned; their skill set knowledge, and connect the dots to a real profession. An exciting profession: public relations, putting theory to work." There is plenty of room for participants and the club is looking for people that have the motivated spirit to help the club achieve its goals.

Organization Spotught Civility Campaign exercises strong values on campus BYKATLIN SWEENEY E DITOR-IN-CHIEF Students ^ ill often see their peers wearing bright green t-shirts marked with the name "Civility" on the first Tuesday of every month. The Civility Campaign seeks to bring together the values of care, respect and empathy while acknowledging culture and humanity on campus. Thefirsttwo years of the program were designed to spread the awareness of Civility's core beliefs. They developed an event called Civility Champions, where peers nominated students, faculty and staff that represent the values of the program on campus. In its third year, the Civility Campaign shifted its focus to partnering up with orgs, on campus that are doing this and much more. * "We want to focus our programmatic emphasis on anti-bullying, bystander interven- tion and intergroup dialogue," program coordinator, Greg Toya, said. "We envision looking at more opportunities to have activities that will spark conversations around diversity dialogue." "We need to bring awareness to our campus and expose students to what they're not used to," Gross-Cultural Center peer educator and Civility Campaign member, Arely Ramos, said. The Civility Unity event in October brought together all dimensions of the campaign's values by creating activities for students. For the concept of respect, the LGBTQA Pride Center created activities centered around bullying. For empathy, Student Health and Counseling Services focused on domestic violence and alcohol awareness. For culture, Kellogg Library had participants contribute to a mural. For humanity, Civility created "couch conversations," where people talked about their hopes and dreams. Also in October, Civility partnered up with the Majors and Minors Fair to promote the campaign to new students. In honor of Veterans Day in November, Civility had community members write thank you notes to students at the Veterans Center. In December, Civility partnered up with Hillel to play dreidel games. Participants learned different facts about Judaism, Jewish people and history. In February, Civility partnered up with BSU for Black History Month and did a "couch conversation" about discrimination. On March 4, they partnered up with USUAB, the Gender Equity Center, SLL, and the Pride Center to do a Herstory Month event.

P hoto provided by herself. Being vegetarian easier than you think B Y RESTY GREY STAFF W RITER American society is eating too much meat and not enough vegetables. I am willing to bet the last thing you ate had some sort of processed meat added to the plate to give the meal a sense of "completeness." Vegans and vegetarians have a good chance of winning that bet, but I think the odds are in my favor. Why do we eat dead animals? Most of us have come to believe that it is our best source for protein but where do you think the animals get their protein? Our society is consuming enough micronutrients. When protein is consumed in abundance, the nutrients that are not immediately used become stored as fat. In a time where feast or famine was normal, storing fat would be ideal. However, the advancements in our contemporary culture make the convenience of the dollar menu too accessible. Eating has changed from a conscious decision of sustenance to a habitual action to fulfill some innate desire to feel good. Don't get me wrong; I think meat is deli- cious, but so are cigarettes. There are countless studies showing the positive benefits from reducing the amount of animal intake. Fun fact: cholesterol is only found in animal products. Meat seems to dominate our culture. Men are seen as wussies if they refrain from eating meat. Satirical twitter account @overlymanlyman makes apparent our societal stereotypes by tweeting, "How do I like my steak? Next to my other s t e a k j ^ In her book, Main Street Vegan, Victoria Moran states "at some point it entered the collective consciousness that meat and masculinity were inextricably linked." But it's 2014, Victoria. I thought we were past those preconceived notions of inequality between genders; apparently not. I'm pesco-lacto-ovo-vegetarian, but let's just refer to it as semi-vegetarian. I still eat eggs, cheese and fish, but I have completely cut out cow, pig and chicken from my diet. I have abstained for two months and I honestly feel fantastic. I don't feel weak, sick or deprived in any way. My body feels and looks better. I'm active; serving tables, running, riding and playing basketball. My stomach never feels heavy from food and I feel an increase in energy. My bowel movements are timely, meaning my digestive system is working properly and I have a greater appreciation for vegetables. Since cutting out practically 33 percent of my diet, I have been filling that excess space with delicious nutrient-dense whole grains, vegetables, fruits, legumes and nuts. What vegetarians would consider their five basic food groups . My eating changed from a habitual action to a conscious choice. I became aware of how much animal flesh I actually consumed on a daily basis. I no longer believe dead animals should be a staple food group, but I can still enjoy the occasional tilapia and fish sinigang my mother loves to cook when I come home to visit. Instead of letting your next meal pick you, try to remember the last time you ate a bright green granny smith apple or even add crisp red cabbage on your burger instead of habitually buying that bland, dead animal. The topic of dietary preference can be just as touchy of a conversation as politics or religion. Veganism is often labeled as radical and even dangerous, both for the diet's limitations in food choices as well as its profound respect for animals' lives. Vegans are not only concerned with who they eat but are often more concerned with the amount of nutrient density that comes with each bite. . My personal progression into veganism, or what I like to refer to as "plant-based," has been a life changing experience in a number of ways. Growing up, my body had an inability to digest foods such as meat, dairy and gluten efficiently. Due to my body's shortcomings, as a child and far into my teenage years, I often found myself fatigued, bloated, having abdominal pains and suffering from degenerative arthritis. Despite frequent trips to medical specialists, there was never more offered to me than painkillers, laxatives and physical therapy. The notion of perhaps changing my diet was never mentioned. It was at the age of 19 that I decided to begin searching for alternative ways to improve my health. After doing some research, I discovered the benefits of restricting my diet to the bare essentials. I came tofindout that the most nutrient dense and easily digestible foods are produce items such as fruits and vegetables. For the past five years, I have been working towards transitioning myself into the plant-based lifestyle. Although it takes time, and is not something I advise anyone to do overnight, it has helped to better my overall quality of life. I no longer suffer from exhaustion spells or irritable bowel syndrome. Even the joint pain caused from my osteoarthritis, which will affect me for the 'Dumb Starbucks' a big publicity stunt B Y CAITLYN THIBODEAU STAFF WRITER "Dumb Starbucks" was a worldwide phenomenon for a day in Los Angeles, when its doors opened and comedian, Nathan Fielder, came outside.

Not only do I love my own body, but I have found a new respect for the body of all beings. The innocence of animals and the maltreatment they face within the overly abundant slaughter houses and factory farms spread across the United States, which is alarming. The industrial meat and dairy industries confine hundreds of animals into small areas where they are often exposed to chemicals, disease and injuries. These factories are also known for their practice of injecting antimicrobial agents and hormone - supplements into the animals as a way to fatten them and eliminate illness. These animals suffer throughout their entire lives as they are restricted to cages and are unable to move about naturally. My disapproval for the way factory farming conducts this grotesque sense of assembly line production has altered my initial decision to become plant-based into more of a compassionate, ethical stance. I believe strongly that humans have lost touch with nature, animals and plants alike. We have been responsible for innumerable amounts of innocent deaths for centuries and have now made this idea of slaughter and comfort consumption a corporate conglomerate based solely on profit. I understand that the idea of converting everyone to a plant-based lifestyle is unreasonable. However, there are both health and ethical benefits into limiting animal product intake that most people do not consider or are even knowledgeable of. I urge everyone to take the time to understand what it is they are putting into their body and where it has come from. It, and when, choosing to eat meat, people should be sure to get it locally and organically. Local farmers are more invested in both the animals' welfare and the consumers' welfare. Still, raw vegetables and fruits are considered to be the most nutritionally substantial foods due to their live enzymes. It is time that humans begin to eat to survive rather than live to eat. er audience for his show. In my opinion, the opening of "Dumb Starbucks" was definitely just a publicity stunt meant to gain more viewers for a show I never would have heard of before his appearance as CEO. I mean let's look at the facts; he opened a store with a patented world-renowned company. "As long as we're making fun of Starbucks, we're allowed to use their corporate identity," Fielder, on opening day, said. I think the real question behind this entire debacle is whether Fielder is a really unqualified and uninformed business owner, or if he's an extremely savvy self-promoter.

I enjoy being primal and tearing meat from the bones of ribs. If it's so "unnatural", why do millions of people enjoy doing the very same thing? If you throw an apple on the ground, chances are your dog is not going to purposely consume it. They may swallow some thinking it's a new ball, but they do not naturally eat or enjoy eating apples. The dog is by instinct a carnivore, just like we humans are instinctively omnivores. You can make claims that we are not supposed to eat meat but the fact is we do. There are marly more people in this world that consume meat than those who don't. In some countries like the U.S. and the UK it makes up the bulk of individuals' diets. In countries where it doesn't, meat is a rare delicatessen. Sometimes it is only to be cherished and eaten during times of celebration. Many of our close primate relatives are omnivores. So are many primitive tribes that G oing so far as t o taking a big bite o ut o f a f rozen steak, by Justin D onner. are still excellent examples of human beings in their raw and unindustrialized form. "Nearly all herbivores, like cows, have fermenting vats — large chambers in their stomachs where microbes attack plant material for digestion. Humans don't. Intestine function relies more on surface area than length. As mentioned earlier, creatures with plant-based diets need larger guts to absorb more energy, while carnivores have rather small intestines. Humans possess intermediate-sized digestive tracts," according to John McArdle of the Vegetarian Research Group. Many important nutrients can be obtained from meat such as calcium, vitamin B12, and protein. A person who engages in heavy physical activity needs to rely on the nutrients from meat to help their body recover. For example, in the sport of body building, it is recommended to at least get one gram of protein per pound of body weight. This would be nearly impossible on a vegan diet. One would be left to use soy, and that destroys your testosterone levels. Not exactly ideal for a man trying to build muscle. Researchers at Oxford University recently followed 35,000 individuals aged 20 to 89 for a period of five years and discovered that vegans are 30% more likely to break a bone than their vegetarian andflesh-eatingpeers. I have heard the argument that livestock production causes an excess of methane gas. Our human bodies have a hard time fully digesting the complex carbs in a vegetarian diet, and this results in more human released gas. In my opinion, we will have gas from either the vegetarians or the cows, so I will just enjoy my meat. www.DayCampJobs.com Earn your Master of Professional Accountancy.

What many may not know about is the off-campus gallery in Old California. CSUSM owns the gallery and features artwork both for and sometimes by, the students behind the Old California Coffee House, neighboring IHOP and the movie theater. The gallery was founded in early 2012 and outlasted most of its neighboring businesses in the area during that time. Since then, it acts as both a celebration and a gathering place for artistic minded individuals both on and off campus. The gallery showcased a multitude of artists in the past. For the first time, it has formed a joint partnership with the Oceanside Museum of Art to display the "Altered Landscapes" Exhibit, with a student art showcase set to premier on March 14. "We change the exhibits every six weeks," Marilyn Huerta said. "So we generally have about two or three exhibits per semester." This does not include the exhibits over summer, during which the gallery remains open. While the Altered Landscapes Exhibit is set to hold its closing reception on Friday March 7 . The student art showcase Redefined II is set to hold its opening reception on the March 14, featuring a performance by the Cal State San Marcos Jazz Ensemble. The off-campus gallery is open Fridays- and Saturdays from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and located at Old California Restaurant Row, 1080 W. San Marcos Blvd., San Marcos in the village shops area. Admission is free to both students and the public. Great House. The Story of a Des Book Review B YNOELLE F MEDBERG SENIOR STAFF W RITER VPA seniors create Capstone concert B Y N A D A S EWIDAN STAFF W RITER An upcoming Capstone event hosted by several CSUSM music majors is a Billy Joel tribute. The Visual and Performing Art major requires students to set up a Capstone as part of their curriculum. Music students have a choice between putting on a concert or producing an album. The Capstone is a production showcasing the skills and knowledge students learn. Since November, the students involved in this event contributed more than 20 hours practicing and setting up for the concert in preparation for the show. CSUSM students, Stephanos Georg- es and Scott Middough, are hosting. Georges will be on piano and vocals while Middough is on drums. "I am looking forward to playing with my fellow musicians who are more advanced than I," Georges said. "Playing with others who are more advanced than you encourages you to practice harder and play better." Middough's role in the concert also includes setting up the technical aspects of sound and lighting. CSUSM student Josh Fowler will be playing bass. "It'll be a fun show," Fowler said. "We try to make it feel like a concert experie n c e T h e show is free of charge. It begins at 7:30 p.m. on March 7 in Arts 111. Nicole Krauss' third novel is a story of revolution, love, loss - and yes, a desk. It is a tale of an American novelist who has been writing at her beloved desk for 25 years. A s the story g oes on, it becomes known that she actually inherited this desk from a Chilean poet who disappeared at the hands of Pinochet's secret police. But the women's world is turned upside down when the poet's now-grown daughter comes to take the desk back. . This catapults the novel into a collection of scenes from around the world that all tell of the lives of the characters who once called the desk their own. The reader is transported from N ew York, to a London suburb, to an antique shop in Jerusalem, to a poet trying to survive under a harsh dictator. For all of these different characters, the desk stands for all that has been taken from them. This allows the novel to ask the crucial question: how do w e survive change? Krauss' novel gives a beautiful and well-written answer to this question. By the end of the book, the desk is no longer just a desk. It lives on as a symbol of what has been lost, but also as a source of hope. I couldn't put this com- pelling book down. Krauss paints each of the characters so intimately that you feel as if you are experiencing their struggles alongside them. You feel loss over their losses, and joy over their triumphs. I suggest this book for anyone looking for a stimulating read amidst the humdrum of classes. It will transport you from the boring reality of your accounting homework into a world that is wondrously intertwined by a single piece of furniture. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

As part of a new plan to alleviate flooding in front of University Hall and in lower level classrooms when it rains, Facility Services hired Good and Roberts contracting to regrade and install a better drainage system. The construction has resulted in a large trench and fenced off area in front of the building.

The CSUSM College Democrats along with the Progressive Activist Network (PAN) and off-campus organization Veterans for Peace staged the memorial on Tuesday January 25. According to the Vice President of the College Democrats, Sarah Leonard, what originally started out as the efforts of about four people grew as students from the Women's Studies Student Association (WSSA) and the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender alliance (LBGT) pitched in to help set up the event.

"It's not really getting in my way," said student Clinton McCook. "It makes me exercise, but it's better than puddles," said student Coral Bruni. Expressing her displeasure, student Kay Nguyen said the construction area, "Sucks, it's right in the middle of everything."

When asked to describe who belongs to Mensa, Catherine Barney, American Mensa Public Relations Manager, said there is no stereotypical Mensan. "Mensans are as diverse a group as you'll find anywhere. We have members ranging in age from four-years-old to one hundred; every religion, race, and profession," said Barney. "Our members are cab drivers, doctors, CEO's, and stay-at-home moms." There are 52,000 American Mensa members, and 100,000 worldwide Mensans. Joining Mensa has gotten somewhat more difficult in recent years. Up until the mid-1990s, a high score on most standardized achievement exams like the SAT Statistically speaking there are at least 140 students at CSUSM who qualify as geniuses~at least as far as their IQ is concerned. If you're a campus smartypants—or think you might be~ there's a national organization that wants you: American Mensa, the High IQ Society. Benefits of Mensa membership include a monthly magazine, opportunities to meet and mingle with other brainiacs at Annual Gatherings and Mind Games tournaments, and the ability to add the ultimate icebreaker to your resume or grad school applications: "Mensa Member."

HawaiianAiriines.com H AWAIIAN — -»mimes.-— �THE PRIDE By JASON NICHOLS P Ä Ombudsman "Enjoyed the Letter to the editor, but don't they have to sign them?" r Sally Jo Divis tagged me with this Q concerning last week's issue» The best part was the title of her email, "The Phantom Writer." We could use it for a movie. A mysterious student sends in a Letter to the Editor challenging the powers-that-be. As the campus becomes all engrossed with the identity of this 'masked' person, we see the writer in the shadows clacking away on a typewriter. (18 and under: the ancestor to MS Word.) We could film them as a series, maybe stopping at "Phantom Writer IIII: Mystery of the Large Clock of Academic H all" (hint, hint) Well it'd be nice, but I gotta kill my hypothetical by ending the mystery. Our "Phantom Writer" goes by the name Felipe Zanartu. The editing team goofed and kinda sorta missed the fact that Mr. Zanartu's name had been c ut I usually take their words under suspicion, but I think we can chalk this one up to an honest boo-boo. The policy in bold on page two of this puppy is still in force. The Editors apologize to Mr, Zanartu for any pain or suffering that may have occurred as a result of this incident I would suggest a doctor to take care of the matter, perhaps one from CSUSM's MJD. program, but that was just a misleading photo illustration in the News section last week. Elizabeth Baldwin with the slick skills and aid of Jason Encabo had a pic of a binder with M.D. on it next to an apple. I've been informed that we readers were to make the connection of Med Doc and apple to translate into an Ed.D. in Education Leadership, the actual doctorate offered here. Obviously, Elizabeth and Jason arefrt part of that program. (Whisper Mode On: 'Yo Elizabeth, J. The Docs that put a stick on your tongue aren't the only ones around. Those people in front of class that we call Professors. . .1 hear they're Docs too. Just thought you should know.) Above that pic of ambiguous meaning was the question "Looking to become a doctor?" And above that Q was a pic of a busted window with yellow streamers across it: caution caution caution. Another connection we should make? Hmmmm. What I realty dug was that Mr. Milo wrote in his article of "Broken glass" that there were "no suspects for the crime," then quotes Officer Hernandez saying the broken glass likely resulted from "horseplay" and not "vandalism." (Whisper mode on again: 'Yo Chez. Horseplay ain't a crime. Just thought you should know.) Somewhere on campus a person is sweatin' bullets thinking there's a dragnet out for 4em. A.P.B.: The suspect is a college student, between the ages of 18 and 25. Please contact the F.B.I. if you've seen this person. The suspect likely frequents the various eateries described in Mr. Schramm's article "When the Johhny Carson BY ALFRED CHU For The Pride Ed McMahon's "Hereeee's Johnny!" is a signature phrase for none other than the undisputed King of Late Night talk show, Johnny Carson, who passed away on Sunday, January 23, 2005. He died peacefully surrounded by his family and friends. He had battled emphysema for many years. On October 1, 1962, Carson was introduced as the new host for the "The Tonight Show" on the NBC network. For the next three decades, his monologues and jokes turned him into an American icon as well as one of the highest paid entertainers. Carson was nominated for an Emmy award seven times (1980, 1981, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1991) winning in 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979 and 1992. Also in 1992, Carson was given the Lifetime Achievement Award in Comedy and the prestigious Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest honor to a civilian. Not only being one of the highest paid entertainers during his time, at one point he generated 17 percent of NBC's profit. Not only was McMahon's catchphrase a trademark for the show, over the years, Carson developed skits that added to the routine and which fans expected to see. For example, if the audience didn'tfinda particular joke funny, Carson would either have a microphone lowered to him and he would say "Attention KMart shoppers" or start tap dancing while the band played "Tea for Two." And of course, he ended every night with a golf swing with an imaginary club. Through his own hardships, such as three bitter divorces and his son killed in a road accident, he has still managed to keep others laughing. Many well known comedians got their start from his show. Comedians such as Jay Leno, Ellen DeGeneres, David Letterman, Steve Martin, among others all credit Carson for his generosity and expertise. Robin Williams and Bette Midler were his final guests. Midler sang "One More For My Baby" which caused Carson to shed a tear. Although Letterman was the leading contender for the successor of Carson, the network went with Leno. On January 24, "The Tonight Show" aired a tribute episode to Carson. Leno, along with McMahon, Bob Newhart, Don Rickles and Drew Carey expressed feelings towards their mentor. Dome won't do." A nice article by the way Matthew, obviously aided by Encabo's flair for page layout that was more than compensation for the misleading Doc illustration he'd done with Elizabeth. Matthew Schramm neglected my personal favorite chow-down spot, but I'll not advertise in this column. (Sandcrab goodi) And it'd be nice if Mr. Schramm had covered less obvious locals than those the student body was already frequenting. When you think about it, it'd be like the Union Tribune revealing to us that we have a Convention Center, Stadium, and Race Track. But we gotta break these new writers in somehow, so bear with the regurgitated themes for now. We'll get better. Of course, that also refers to Zach Simon's subtle opinion that books cost too damn much (a revelation), Patrick Long informing us that there exists a gym in the Field House (another revelation), and Brian Reichert's emphatic opinion that studying abroad is good for the soul (and those revelations just keep coming). Brian "had the opportunity to study in Santiago de Chile" and apparently liked it well enough despite Felipe Zanartu's (the Phantom Writer) observation that "the USD in Chile has lost 22 percent of its value." And like the 'caution caution caution' above "Looking to become a doctor?" we had Brian's travel ad atop Felipe's dire currency conversion rate. I'm tossin' my hands up, I'm so confused... I'm looking like the picture of Ethan Hawke in At Chu's review of "Assault on Precinct 13." Not the looking like a hotty factor, but we're sharing the same expression that communicates a sense of confusion. The one you make when barking spiders arrive in a crowded room and you just gotta whiff. Phoenix is now the A&E editor, and hopefully we won't have any unflattering pics popping up in the f uture (About the job Phoenix, my condolences.)

A Regal dupe BY YVONNE BRETT Pride Staff Writer Tuesday morning I woke up early, eagerly anticipating the announcement of this year's Oscar nominees. Most of the picks were quite predictable and fortunately I had spent the last couple of months trying to catch a film here or there so I could be ready to root for my favorites on Oscar night. I realized though, that many of the top contenders have never even played in this area, so I signed on to Sign On San Diego to try and track them down. Much to my dismay, I found out that if I wanted to see "Being Julia," Photo by Michael Dolan / The Pride I would have to trek down to Horton Plaza, and if I wanted to watch "Finding Neverland," I would have to drive to Poway or Temecula. "A Very Long Engagement" is in Hillcrest and "Ray" is playing in the Gaslamp. I have to question why all three of the theatres in the general proximity of San Marcos mostly play the same movies. I remember that when the Signature Theatre was built in Escondido they promised that they would reserve one of the theatres to play "art" films. Since the Regal whale swallowed up the Signature, it has merely become a clone of the San Marcos Theatre. Surely the Krikorian Metroplex in Vista could break out of the mold and show something different, but no, they offer the same homogenized fare as the Regal. It is frustrating that moviegoers in North County have to brave the 1-15 in order to see a film that might be out of the ordinary. The theatres around town need to wake up and realize that they need to offer a wider variety and acknowledge that people in San Marcos deserve to see these films on the big screen and not be forced to wait until they come out on DVD. �6 Tuesday, February 12005 O P I N I O N THE PRIDE Into uncertainty BY BRYAN MASON Pride Staff Writer At the tender age of 18, some people reading this would come to question my ability to read the culture of my generation and also the "experience" that I have in it. But it is not so much the extent of "experience" I have, as to how much I realize things in a new light after these 18 years on this planet. It seems to me that everyone is trying to reach a goal - however these people, me included, don't seem to have the slightest idea of what that goal is. Some of my friends are so set in their ways about what they want to do after college and their talk of all the millions they will be making makes me question what I really want. I have no clue of what I would like to do in the future and I don't know how I'm going to get there, it is just one of the many wonders in life that I like to call growing up. But these days my generation has procured a certain inamiable sense of life. Everyone just expects to procure this vast quantity of wealth and a consump- Quality Fish Everyday Resonable Price Good Service tion of knowledge in what seems to be an instant. But I wonder is it just me that is so confused about my life that I can't seem to pull myself into one direction? Or could it be that the countless masses in college right now are thinking the same thing, and are just to obscure and frightened to reveal to themselves, that their assiduous effort has gotten them absolutely nowhere. These people are all around us and I say welcome.. .welcome to what I have just learned to be the first steps out of your childhood realm where everything just fell into place. Now I see that it is not me that plans things, it is the actions of everyone that plan the pitfalls and the peaks in life that can make the most dull person, such as myself,filledwith vital exuberance.

The things that I have taken for granted all these years are now gone and despite the fact that I am so young I find myself clinging to what is left of my once ecstatic childhood. I know that the things that have come and gone are that of the past but something tells me there is more to life than what we see. I think that life is a culmination of moments that I get too lost in to figure o ut I think the best quote about my generations' life would be by Simon and Garfunkel, "Half of the time we're gone but we don't know where," from the song "The Only Living Boy in New York." I know for a fact that I don't know what I am doing to better my life half of the time and it seems that everything has just been bunched up into a little irrelevant ball. These times reflect the exact moments when I feel that I am just doing something because society says it is the thing that has to be done. But if this is true then why am I making the final decisions, and my intuition and common sense lead me to view the finale of my life. But this is how life is and I have to accept it just like all my peers have to accept the fact that it may be tedious and tiring but someday, just maybe we will find that childhood again and cherish what is left of it for the rest of our lives.

It will be a tight race year's best movies. Academy Award nom- between "The Aviator," "Sideways," and inations were announced Tuesday, and as "Million Dollar Baby." always, there were some surprises. In the Best Director category, it will This year, the Academy shied away from come down to Clint Eastwood for "Milhonoring controversial films, like Mel lion Dollar Baby" and Martin Scorsese for Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" and "The Aviator." If the Academy decides to Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11."

Photos courtesy of The Academy of Motion Picture A rts and Sciences The other nominees in this category were no surprise, except for Clint Eastwood being nominated as Best Actor for "Million Dollar Baby," taking the slot that many assumed Paul Giamatti of "Sideways" would get. Don Cheadle's nomination for "Hotel Rwanda," along with his co-star Sophie Okonedo's nomination for Best Supporting Actress, will give the hard-to-sell film about the 1994 genocide in Rwanda a much-needed boost in audience. However, a win for Jamie Foxx in the Best Actor category is the closest thing this year's race has to a lock. The Best Actress category will once again come down to Swank vs. Bening. In 2000, newcomer Hilary Swank beat veteran Annette Bening with her performance as a cross-dressing youth in "Boy's Don't Cry." This year the two, both fresh off Golden Globe wins, will face off yet again, but Bening's performance as an actress looking to revamp her career in "Being Julia" could hit closer to home for Academy voters. There are no clear frontrunners in either of the Supporting categories. For Best Supporting Actor, the Academy could decide to honor "Sideways" by giving Thomas Haden Church the statue, or "Closer" newcomer Clive Owen, the Golden Globe winner in this category. Best Supporting Actress is a category in which the Academy typically bestows the statue on a young ingénue, so "Closer's" Natalie Portman's chances are good. However, the Academy could decide to shake things up this year, so don't count out Virginia Madsen for "Sideways" or Laura Linney for "Kinsey." The 77th Annual Academy Awards will air on Sunday, February 27, on ABC. CLASSIFIEDS EGG DONORS NEEDED Healthy Females ages 18-30. Donate infertile couples.

Under 17 not admitted without parent or adult guardian i i \ �The "Hotel" you must check into BY HEATHER HOFFMAN Pride Staff Writer Sometimes movies make you laugh, sometimes they make you cry, but very rarely do they open your eyes and force you to look at the world differently. Hotel Rwanda is a movie that will change your life. It takes place in Kigali the capital city of Rwanda in Africa, and tells the true story of a battle between the Hutu and the Tutsi that killed one million people in 100 days. These two groups had a long history of conflict which came to a climax in 1994, when Hutu extremists attempted genocide of the Tutsi people. This movie tells the story of Paul Rusesabagina (Don Cheadle) the house manager of an upscale hotel in Kigali who is also Hutu, and what he did to save peoples lives. It is an excellent record of a history that is unknown to most. Paul's wife Tatiana (Sophie Okonedo) and their three children are the most important thing in his life, and they're Tutsi, therefore they are a target of the Hutu's hatred. Paul would do anything to protect his family from harm, making this a wonderful story about love and family as well. When the President is assassinated, the Hutu blame the Tutsi and they begin attack- Photos courtesy of United Artists (MGM) ing the Tutsi and anyone who associates with them. As Tutsi are taken from their homes and murdered, Paul's Tutsi family and friends run to his house for protection, he is the only Hutu they trust. Paul's friends and family are taken by the Hutu and are not murdered because Paul offers to pay the Hutu a large amount of money, which he has to get from the Hotel Mille Collines where he works and has access to a lot of money. The hotel was safe and was protected by the UN because it had many prominent guests staying there. When the hotel manager leaves, Paul is given control of the entire hotel, so he hides his Tutsi friends away where they will be safe for a while. When the foreign hotel guests are given a military escort out of Rwanda, Paul is left with an unprotected hotel. Paul uses connections he's made through his job to keep the hotel and his family safe. One of these connections is Colonel Oliver (Nick Nolte) of the UN who is very useful to Paul and does what he can to keep the hotel secure with limited resources. However it is a constant struggle for Paul to remain in control of the hotel and keep his guests safe as more and more refugees show up. As people everywhere are being murdered, Paul steps up and does something incredible that most people would not have the courage to do. He is a hero and because^ of him 1268 lives were saved. This movie is amazing. It reminds you that even in the ugliest situations beautiful things can come out of people. It is heart! warming to know that one person can take a stand and make a difference. The struggle between the Hutu and Tutsi was largely ignored by the rest of the world. Anyone with a heart will watch this film and ask themselves WHY? Why wasn't anything done to help the situation? Why was the attempted genocide of an entire culture ignored by the world? 5th Element: a pearl in the bed of oyster phlegm BY ZACHARY J. SIMON Pride Staff Writer Back in the latter half of the 90s—a decade that tried to claim immortality by refusing to take a single title-under the roman- Photo courtesy of Tristar Home Video tic dawn of new innovations in film effects, there occurred a brief, yet expectedly passionate affair between America's futurist action blockbuster and France's surrealist romance, captured by MTV and Vogue's self conscious voyeur isms. "The Fifth Element" has just been re-released with two hours of extras for the geeks' library/ shrine/wall, and a more expensive digitally enhanced version for those who need new lotion for the self-pleasure of a bigger screen (guess which one I'm holding.) Remembering that I'd liked this pearl pill in the bed of oyster phlegm, I wish now that I'd been there in the theater and there on the DVD team. The film itself was still enjoyable enough that I actually watched the whole thing when I'd planned to do a recap before diving into the extras. Not as many professional actors with amateur lines, but there are some close calls, some action with too much slapstick, some romance with too much action, but it stands out as a reminder that afilmenvironment should be total, that a future world must be remade as well as expanded, and that an B+ prop still caries more emotion than an A- digital image. Switching off widescreen would have shorthanded this film, but omitting the option is a bit underhanded, as was the potentially more valuable 'fact track' (think low budget popup video) which provided trivia everyfiveseconds, then every 15, then every minute, then every 15 minutes. It would seem someone either didn't understand ration- ing, or got lazy, as interesting facts became more often replaced by banal observations and yeahsayings. The extras disc cleverly divides its main features into the 'visual element' the 'star(actor) element,' etc., each with a makingof featurette narrated by the typical photojournalism dropout equipped with oyer-enthusiasm and bad jokes. We learn that the spiritual heroine is in reality a bit shallow, the gruff hero a bit deeper, and that lip-syncing opera is even harder as a reluctant alien. Film tests might just seem a way to pad the package, and probably were, but the grittier aspects of filmmaking could as easily spoil the magic for some people as enhance a sense of craftsmanship. What used to help gener- ate interest for the moviegoer can also counteract buyer's remorse in the DVD addict. Buy the movie, great for a crowd of mixed tastes: violence but little gore, randiness but little vulgarity (there's two brief shots of the heroine's breasts but they got to keep the PG-13 rating, which seems only fair considering her supermodel's figure.) Rent the special edition to make sure you find the info really gives you a lasting illusion of being closer to the professionals. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Professor Patty Seleski, chair of the history department, compared it to juggling, as the needs of students and the budget that has been allocated by the dean have to be balanced. "It's the curse of middle management," she said. The course scheduling process is much more complex than most people realize, and thè upcoming budget crisis has only made it more complicated than before. Several factors must be juggled when the department chairs determine when, where, and how many sections of a course will be offered. The needs of both the major and of general education (GE) requirements are considered. Every department offers several GE courses, which must be taken by all students. Enough classes for the department's major also have to be offered, but these classrooms can be hard tofilldue to their specialized nature. An attempt is made to offer major courses at a variety of times, but usually only one section of a particular course is. offered per semester or year. Attempts are made to offer courses in "a consistent, predictable way," said the chair of the mathematics department, professor Linda Holt. If several classes are only available once per year, schedulers will attempt to consistently offer courses during the same semesters. Class A is always available in the spring, class B is always in the fall. These major classes are arranged like this to avoid conflict. See SCHEDULE, page 5 TUESDAY.

Marcos. Gonzalez began by talking about the budget, and he said that the increase in parking fees is not related to the tuition hike. According to Gonzalez, the California state government does not fund parking facilities; money that is used to finance a parking structure must come directly through parking fees, therefore the increase in parking fees was needed and fees will continue and ASI Corporate Secretary to increase. Erik Roper introduced the panelists then asked the Before Gonzalez took salivating students to keep the stage, Associated their questions short and to Students Incorporated (ASI) the point.

Local news has focused on troops leaving for the Gulf and the nationwide news has been focused on the words of President George Bush and Secretary of State Colin Powell. It is obvious that important decisions are being made during this and the last few months. These decisions are important to CSUSM students because they directly involve the young citizens, a large percentage of whom are members of the military. This is especially true with the large numberof CSUSM students who are currently enlisted in the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and service reserves. There are also approximately 600 CSUSM students who aire Veterans, according to Corkie Lee, veterans affairs representative at CSUSM.

What most students do not know is that the popular brand name of the school has been changed from CSUSM to Cal State San Marcos. Cal State San Marcos is the trademark that students, prospective students, faculty, staff, and off-campus community members see on official letterhead, business cards, and banners along Craven Drive and Campus View Way. Markings on university vehicles as of a year and a half ago have also been changed, based on a decision made by the Academic Program Committee and by recommendation of the Academic Program Marketing Task Force.

He did, however, explain th#t during this semester, the school is experiencing the largest number of students than ever before in CSUSM history who have not enrolled or dropped their classes due to deployment notices. Bills noted that many of the students who are still attending are getting forms to withdraw from classes for the same reason. largely based in Miramar and Camp Pendleton received deployment orders. Recently, 17,000 reservists were called into duty, bringing the total number of National Guard and reservists to over 110,000.

He said that he doesn't feel that the Iraq conflict is affecting his current experience at CSUSM. As final decisions about the conflict draw near, it is unavoidable that CSUSM students will be affected along with the rest of the nation. As students make decisions about their feelings about the possible war, friends and classmates are preparing to be involved directly, in the conflict, reminding this campus that war is never as far as the battlefield. the question about the curb parking Williams said that, "Parking services knew there would b e a tight crunch last semester therefore curb parking was allowed.

One such person was a former Cal State San Marcos employee and recycling program coordinator, Nancy Quinn.

I had chosen my classes and I thought that it was going to be easy. Unfortunately within* the first couple of weeks I noticed that I was having more trouble in my classes that the average student." This is a typical struggle for students with learning disabilities, especially once they reach the college level. It is difficult for many to admit they are experiencing academic difficulties, but once they do, they no longer have to fight the battle alone. " I kept trying to brush off what was going on.

Rubella, Measles, and Mumps: Oh My! Student Health Services offers free M MR vaccinations By JASON PADILLA Opinion Editor There is still time to clear the Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) immunization that is required by CSUSM. Students who are unsure about the current status of their immunization need to contact their physician or doctor in order to clarify the uncertainties. For students sure of their need, the Student Health Services (SHS) clinic will be offering free MMR vaccination shots on Friday Feb. 21, Mar 7 and March 21. MMR vaccines will be held at the SHS clinic located on the corner of corner of Craven and Twin Oaks and are available to all registered students. Those who cannot make the scheduled dates for vaccinations may schedule an appointment for another time. Able to spread from person to person through the air, Measles, Mumps and Rubella are serious diseases. Not only are they serious, but they can also be very annoying to students who find a MMR hold on their registration. The CSU system requires that all students be immunized to MMR prior to their first semester of being enrolled £t a CSU campus. Junior communication major Paul Anderson experienced this first hand. "I didn't even know that measles mumps or rubella was an issue, but apparently I needed the vaccine before I could register for my first semester at CSUSM a few years back," Anderson said. Anderson later went to the SHS clinic and received his vaccine. Many students may not be of the testicles or ovaries, and aware of their MMR vaccine status on occasion, death. The rubella because the shots are usually given (German measles) virus can cause at a very young age - one at 12 to rashes, mild fever, and arthritis 15 months old and the second at 4 (mostly in women).

The waiver includes a contractual agreement on behalf of the student, which states that in the event of an outbreak on campus, the student will not be allowed on campus until the outbreak is under control. It is also possible to get an MMR titer from a doctor or physician that establishes immunity to the diseases, and removes the requirement from a student's record at SHS. However, getting a simple immunization from the SHS clinic can be beneficial to avoid future registration conflicts, and for overall health and wellness; For more information or to double check mentioned facts, visit the SHS clinic at www.csusm.edu/ shs.

Major classes shouldn't conflict with each other. The idea is to let students have access, at some time of the day, to the classes they need. This is even further complicated by the fact that some departments provide prerequisite courses for other majors, or offer classes that are eligible for upper division GE credit. The departments try to work with each other in order to coordinate their schedules. The dean's office is responsible for making sure the schedule is "well balanced" , between GE and majors' courses, said Arts and Sciences Dean Spencer McWiUiams. FEATURE can only hold 35 students. The department chairs have very little control over when a classroom will be available. So, a popular class may be forced to use a smaller classroom. The department chairs interviewed also said that the concerns of instructors are another consideration. The appropriate teacher has to be matched to classes in which they have a certain degree of expertise; a teacher who specializes in vertebrate physiology is not the best choice to lead a microbiology class. Instructors also can't be scheduled at unreasonable hours. A teacher shouldn't have to teach one class at seven in the morning and one at five in the evening, or teach According to Cassel, the four classes in a row. According number of available classes is to Cassel, they need to be at their also a "huge issue." Cal State best performance level.

Each department also has to make certain that Full Time Equivalent Student (FTES) targets are met each semester. These targets are determined by the chancellor of the CSU, and are based on past enrollment. The dean's office then allocates the FTES to each department. There is some negotiation of FTES numbers between departments, but it is a finite number. Each department as a target enrollment uses the numbers, and it determines the budget for that particular department. A majority of the budget goes to f ull time employee salaries, with much of the remainder going toward operating expenses such as labs and equipment. The ambunt of money that each department receives is determined by how well they meet their FTES targets, so classes are scheduled at popular enrollment times. This is one reason there are not as many night sections; night sections don't enroll as heavily as night programs, due primarily day sections. to constraints such as expensive labs.

Also, the group felt that 'Cal State San Marcos seemed less formal, friendlier, and more welcoming to incoming students, who were our highest priority target group." The decision to make Cal State San Marcos the brand name trademark of the university was made in September 2000 by the Academic Program Marketing Task Force. This change was announced to the campus at the Fall Convocation a year and a half ago and put into effect at the start of the fall 2001 semester. An email was sent out to all the task force members to ask if they would comment on this meeting and the decision that was made, but few responded and the ones who did only referred The Pride to Rick Moore for the group's official statement. When asked if students were officially notified of this change and how, Moore stated, "Students were represented on the committee. I do not know if their representative 'officially' notified ASI or students. The change in the university mark did not affect the Cougar mark that is used by student groups." Why are students not in the know? Most students were unaware of this change to the brand name and were not sure why it took place. According to Moore, there was no known form of notification for the student body, because at the time there was no "in the loop" email and the Cougar Channel did not exist. Since the change took place a year and a half ago, there has not been a lot of discussion about it among the student body. Brodowsky added, "I wonder why, at this time, this is being followed up on as a high priority issue as if it were breaking news." In answer to his question, The Pride did not report on this issue at the time because it was not a public pertinent announcement that had been made to the student body, and now as the brand name is used, the focus on the correct term is at hand. According to Moore, the response to the change was stated as, "Enthusiastic acceptance. Some faculty were concerned that we had taken the word 'university' out of the mark, so we developed an academic mark for them to use in certain circumstances, such as when submitting papers or research findings and when conducting academic business outside of the northern San Diego region. Albie Hewlett, a senior communication major, also commented to the name brand change. "We as students are the ones who use this title to acknowledge our university. It is something as simple as a name that can help build an individual's school pride and this can be particularly important for a university like CSUSM!" Hewlett said. �Ü Campus B eat Question: INTO HIGH GEAR! "What does Valentine's Day mean to you?'

Por DIANA K. CABUTO Redactora de The Pride Llegué a pensar que la prensa y los medios mexicanos estaban exagerando, que se le envidiaba a la pobre actriz por haberse ido a Estados Unidos a buscar nuevas fronteras, que por "traicionar a México" se le tenía resentimiento, que se le tenía coraje por estar dejando dinero al cine americano y por haber logrado en menos de 10 años lo que muchos no han logrado en 20. Tal vez de esta manera es como ella lo mira, o como ella lo quiere v er Sin embargo, ahora me doy cuenta qüe otras celebridades mexicanas o de otra nacionalidad latina que han triunfado en el extranjero son igualmente criticadas al momento de no responder a la prensa mexicana, como es el caso del cantante mexicano Luis Miguel.

La diferencia con Luis Miguel es que él no se queja, tomando en cuenta que así es la vida del espectáculo. dicen algunas cuantas personas. Que comprenda que no por que algunos mexicanos critiquen su película por coraje a su actitud, esto quiera decir que todo México la este atacando y que ella ataque a todos por igual y comience con su actitud arrogante a cambio. Como ya mencioné, a Salma Hayek se le han reconocido sus éxitos y se ha hablado muy bien de sus proyectos y de su talento. Tal parece que nada más busca pretextos para alejarse más de su país y divagar sólo las cosas negativas de la prensa mexicana. Si es la actriz que dice ser, debería de saber que no siempre se le van a dar halagos y aplausos. Sólo espero que antes de tener esa actitud tan negativa con México y la prensa, que trate de entender que su abandono es la causa de las persecuciones por parte de la prensa, que necesita ser un poco más accesible, y que todo actor profesional pasa por estas cosas, que ella no es la única.

Basically, marketing exploits those in relationships so pathetic and shallow that the opposite sex feels the need to give their "loved one" a gift; usually in a sad attempt to convince them they don't actually suck. Unfortunately, if you fell victim to buying that special someone a gift, you probably do suck. Thank god February is the shortest month of the year. But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about adult relationships that are more or less built on convenience, are nonfunctional, and end up lasting a short while due to inadequacy and the need for attachment. With only the intentions of getting in each other's pants, the simple minds of these relationships are the same simple minds responsible for fueling the evil fires of Valentine's Day. Maybe someday these fires might burn so evil and hot, they w ilt burn the 14th right off the calendar.

LETTERS such an emphasis on couples that innocent single men and women fall subject to the tortuous act of witnessing others enjoy company, whether it is romantic or not. The thought arises, am I the only single person left? Suddenly snapping out of this idiotic train of thought, most realize that misery loves company, and couples are probably better off being miserable without you. Hopefully, someday the masses won't feel the need for shallow expressions of endearment on February 14, but until then, some of us will continue to trudge through the ugliness that is Valentine's Day. So, go buy hearts, buy your roses, write a love note in a card, and try not to choke on t h e stupidity-filled chocolates that cost your loved one $2.99.

This w eek's issue highlights the strides made by h istorical black f igures in bringing awareness to r acial equality and laid the foundation for the country t o elect its f irst black president, Barack Obama. February, also known as Black History Month, seems extra special this year. Electing Barack Obama as the f irst black president is, for this generation, as important and unforgettable as the long list of events and people in black history. Year a fter year, black people continue making strides towards a progressive f uture. Nonetheless, there are several individuals who are precursors to the history made January 20th. President Obama j oins the r anks of these individuals that continue to inspire the cultural experience of a changing world. The premise of Black History Month originated in 1916, when Dr. Carter G. Woodson and Rev. Jesse E. Moorland, co-founders of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, published The Journal of Negro History. The j ournal was a compilation of research the two men conducted to help create awareness of the impact black people played in America. Woodson also published the j ournal in hopes that it would instill pride among the black community. Woodson, himself, was the son of a former slave and the second black person to graduate f rom Harvard University.

We've all been in that situation before, and if you haven't, feel sorry for me and send me a basket offruitto console my terrible fast food experiences. Now, why am I discussing a topic that might have nothing to do with sex? Well, keep reading and I'll tell you! (Jeez, chill out.) Ironically enough, this situation paints a, somewhat, accurate description to what some may have gone through during sex. First, everything is great: you're enjoying yourself and taking part in something that you personally enjoy. Then, all it takes is one fateful action to turn what was once a delicious grilled cheese sandwich into a damp square of cold mush. (Yes, a sandwich filled with cheese... and sex!) So, what is it that causes t hese s udden outbursts of moment destroyers? Is it involuntary? Have you just always wanted to try it? Or are you just misreading your partner? Let's be serious for a bit, sex is a serious and beautiful thing. It is a union that is shared with you and your partner, and hopefully, it is something that you do out of love. That being said, there is nothing at all wrong with enjoying the experience of sharing an intimate moment with your significant other and tailoring to suit your (and your partner's) needs. The only downfall is that you have to know what your partner likes before you try it. For example, "talking dirty" is quite the popular way to spice up one's sex life. But sometimes, you'll find some people out there that don't much care for it, personally, I think it's a little cliché, and preferably, only best suited for Steve Carell's portrayal of a 40-year old virgin. But there are many ways that one can help to give his/her partner "what they like" and receive it in return as well. Whether it be something as adventurous as different positions, to something as simple as the way your partner dresses or expresses themselves. That being said, let's get to know some of our fellow cougar's interests when it comes to sex and relationships. Anonymously, of course. To get a broad sense of what some look for in a partner, I asked variety of people with differing gender identifications and sexual orientations. Name one turn on and one turn off when it comes torelationships: Male, 21, heterosexual: "I love confident girls who are comfortable with themselves and who they are. And I'm definitely not into girls that worry about what they eat." Female, 19, heterosexual: "Plain jealousy is just horrible. I like the "little things," like just calling just, because and visiting me at work. It lets me know that they care." Male, 22, homosexual: "I like someone who can hold a good conversation and is open to trying new things. And I don't like someone who has no "drive" or life goals. They would rather stay home all the time then go out every once in awhile." Name one turn on and one turn off when it comes to sex (if sexually active): Male, 21, heterosexual: "I definitely love girls in heels, because it accentuates their legs and their buttocks. I really don't like girls that are into weird stuff, like role-playing as sexy ninjas or astronauts. Female, 19, heterosexual: "I hate when they only think about pleasing themselves, I'm like, "Hey! What happened to my needs!?" I like constant touching, like cud- dling or just holding each other. The love just keeps coming. Male, 22, homosexual: like when the other gets really "into it" by not holding back their moans and is somewhat aggressive but not overt. I don't like if the other person does not reciprocate or "give back" during sex and is unadventurous when it comes to new sexual positions or techniques." Obviously, these are all individual preferences and are all respected. While anonymous, I applaud this diverse group of people for sharing their experiences with such a sensitive topic. But just remember, whatever you and your sexual partner may enjoy doing, make sure you do it (pun intended) safely and mutually. And never let anyone get you down about what you enjoy doing and talking about, everyone is different and each have their own preferences. Just remember to keep communication with your partner open and free of discomfort. So if your significant other decides to utilize the dreaded whips and chains in your next encounter, talk to them. You are just not into that kind of thing*right?So make sure you tell them that, for the sake of your bum. I love Wikipedia BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer Wikipedia is the infamous database of information that any Internet user can edit. Society has given the online encyclopedia reputation of misinformation and unreliability. Found at wikipedia.org, this free encyclopedia boasts 2,718, 815 articles for any user to edit. Despite all this, I love Wikipedia. Many professors tell me to ignore Wikipedia because it is unreliable and not a valid source for information. As I progress in college, I find more and more ways to use Wikipedia. It is time to embrace Wikipedia for the potential it has as a resource.

Spangenberg. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the real Gross Domestic Product decreased by 3.8 percent in the fourth quarter of 2008. The current number is based on estimates. The actual GDP is set for release on February 27. The BEA states that the real GDP decreased mainly to a decline in exports, equipment, and software. In order for the United States to officially be in a recession, the real GDP must decrease two quarters in a row. A slumping GDP and a rising unemployment rate are all negative signs for Cougars. Current students must compete with those that were laid off, and even some who seek a second job for additional income. Future graduates might experience difficulty in finding career opportunities.

DuPont believes that the math lab's real goal is to refine students' basic math skills. "They learn terminology, mixed numbers, improper fractions, and how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide," says DuPont. "The big thing," DuPont believes, "is they get excited about college." The math lab is open Monday and Thursday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., and Fridays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. No appointments are necessary.

Recyclemania is a nation wide competition between over 500 colleges and universities for the national Recycling and Waste diversion title. CSUSM proudly continues to hold the title it first obtained in 2005. "We got a random e-mail asking if we wanted to join. We didn't know what it was but thought, 'what the heck, let's give it a t ry!'" said Carl Hanson, Department Manager of Custodial Services at CSUSM. "At that point, there were only 43 colleges and universities competing. We won it hands down from start to finish. It astounded us." Recyclemania began in 2001 as a small competition between two Ohio colleges. It contin- ued to spread and gain popularity. This year, Recyclemania includes about 510 colleges and universities. Hanson urges everyone to keep on recycling. Contributions may include plastic bottles number 1-7, cans, glass bottles and jars, cardboard, paper, and pre and post consumer food. The competition runs from January 18 through March 28. Recyclemania consists of different subcategories: gross weight, per capita, and recycle percentage of total refuse. Hanson believes that CSUSM's secret success is due in part to the already established social climate in regards to recycling, adding that, "we didn't have to create something new or try to change attitudes." Carl also offers credit to the cafeteria personnel and the Foundation for the job they do at the beginning of the waste stream. It begins with choosing packaging materials. Years ago, the choice material was Styro- year. foam, which cannot be recycled. • "They have been very enthuRegardless of the downstream siastic and we look forward to effort, if the start is wrong, their contributions," Hanson the end product will ultimately said, adding that Faculty Services Director Ed Johnson also fail.

I appreciate all the ways that they better the community. They bailed me out of situations including flooding sinks, clogged toilets, and broken beds. I would not be able to do my job without the help from these extraordinary men. Any RA can list off many more examples of how the maintenance people came to his/her assistance in a dire situation. Even in simple situations, such as going to check a fire alarm or replace a light bulb, it is reassuring to know I can count on them. Recently, while still completing their daily task, the maintenance crew worked with an outside crew and put in a fountain. The new fountain is beautiful and will be a pleasant sight for anyone who walks by the UVA. Everyone responsible for com- pleting this installation deserves praise. As an RA, I am ready to handle parties, emotional breakdowns, and roommate conflict. Yet, I cannot fix some things. They make my job easier when something goes wrong and a resident needs my help. That is why I must give all thanks to the friendly and hardworking maintenance staff. UniversityVoice Photos by Gabi Martinez ¿¡Pride Staff Wrîtër What does Black History Month mean to you?

Students interested in applying must be a junior or senior with a 3.00 GPA or above. Other requirements include a letter of application, a school transcript, and at least two letters of recPhoto courtesy Jenny McDonald ommendation from fac- ulty. After students apply, there is an interview process where CSUSM's committee headed by Erika Kirst, Coordinator of Greek Life and Leadership Programs, interviews applicants to select one student to represent the campus in Washington. There are many benefits from this program. "It is an honor to be part of it because it is unique, only one student is selected from each campus," said Kirst. Another great benefit is that the program pays for the interns' expenses such as housing and air travel. Interns also receive stipends to cover other expenses. "I encourage students to take advantage of this opportunity," Kirst added. Among other benefits, interns can earn up to 20 units during the semester. Last semester, junior Jennifer McDonald was the student representative for CSUSM. McDonald emphasizes that student applicants do not necessarily have to be a specific major. Photo courtesy Jenny McDonald "It is something really beneficial for anyone who wants to work in government, policy, or the media. It is a one of kind opportunity," McDonald said. The Congressional Internship Program is an excellent opportunity to build connections in Washington, D.C. McDonald's internship included many unique experiences such as going to the White House and Congressional hearings. "I got to meet people who write our laws, who have been influential for the past 30 # years," said McDonald. One of McDonald's most mem- orable moments was when, President Bush's Chief of Staff, Joshua Bolten, talked to other interns and her for almost an hour and took questions from them. Another highlight of her experience was to be in Washington, D.C. when historical events such as the 2008 election and the financial bailout occurred.

They will work on the deconstruction of older properties to make way for new ones, and refurbish older houses for new occupants to move into. "It's a whole other level of volunteering," says Jamie Inarda, a CSUSM senior who went on the trip to New Orleans last year. "It's a great way to have fun, make friends, and do something good for a community in need." Another CSUSM student, Kyle Gregory, also attests to the program's benefits. "You get a lot more out of it than you would out of a traditional spring break. It's a fun experience and gives you a sense of accomplishment as well," Gregory said. While the program seems more work oriented than a usual vacation, they make time to have fun as well. This year, in addition to volunteering, the group will take time to visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and watch a Cleveland Cavaliers game. Typically, there are only ten spots available for students to go, and the sign up time is during the fall semester.

BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Editor-In-Cheif Girls, how many times have people told you that you are wasting your time with the guy you always have to call or the one who only wants to see you when he's drunk? How often do you listen? How often do you sit around with your girlfriends analyzing and psychoanalyzing his every word and move?18® Maybe the answer to all your troubles is simple. Maybe, he's just not that into you. , The best seller-made-into-movie formula seems the best way nowadays to increase readership. The Boston Herald claims the book "could save a generation of women who would be wasting their lives waiting by the phone." "Sex and the City"firstcoined the phrase that inspired the book title. In fact, authors Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo worked as writers on the popular show. The countless conversations that took place in the "Sex and the City" writing room inspired this self-help book foj: womeri; Written from the advice of a man, "HJNTIY" "matterof-fact"-ly evaluates the classical scenarios most women go through in the dating world. With chapters entitled "He's Just Not That Into You If He's Not Asking You Out" and "He's Just Not That Into You If He's Disappeared On You," Behrendt promotes a bit of tough love to readers while Tuccillo acts as the voice of understanding, often relaying the "easier said than done" mentality most women may encounter while reading. Though Tuccillo experienced many of the scenarios presented in the book, she ultimately sides with Behrendt's verdict on the matter, citing her failed success rate as proof. At the end of each chapter, Behrendt backs up his advice with statistics. In the chapter entitled "He's Just Not That Into You If He's Not Dating You," Behrendt discredits the excuse that men are afraid of intimacy stating, "100% of guys polled said 'a fear of intimacy' has never stopped W ord(s ) Qwertyuiop /ml U sually t h e t op l ike o f a k eyboard, q wer- them from getting into a relationship." One guy quoted even said, "That's just what we say to girls when we're just not that into them " J? Though the book may come off a bit harsh, it has the best intentions. It offers women the opportunity to have control over their dating life by setting themselves to a new standard. By adopting the principle, "he's just not that into you," women can spare themselves the tears and heartache and take comfort in knowing how to identify the right guy when he comes along. The book motivates women to consider themselves the rule and not the exception when dating. We've all heard the story about the girl who pursued the guy and they ended up living happily ever after or the one where the guy treated the girl he was sleeping with awful for a few years and then one day he realized he loved her. "HJNTIY" commands women to erase these stories from their memory reminding women that they are exceptional but not the exception. Any woman out linflge there stands to benefit from reading the book. Whether you are single, in a relationship, or even married, pick it up and give it a shot. The 150 plus pages are an easy read and even if you yourself are blissfully content with your love life, chances are you hiave a friend out there who could benefit from these words of wisdom.

The answer will differ from man to woman, young to the old, right? Did these vaginas talk to you? What did they say? Eve Ensler would agree that vaginas do indeed talk and they have a lot to say. Well who the hell is Eve Ensler? Her vagina would say that she is many things: a playwright, a feminist, an anti-violence activist, and a vagina advocate. Ensler began writing monologues based on the interviews of nearly 200 women about various topics such as sex, orgasms, and female mutilation centered on what Oprah Winfrey calls the "Va-jay jay." The Vagina Monologues were first shown off-Broadway in 1996 but since its debut, it gained popularity, gaining vagina-friendly fans across the nation. Oh, and yes there are some international vagina advocate proponents as well. After seeing one performance the vagina will no longer be taboo. For Ensler, the vagina is something to be celebrated, cherished, and adored; it should be free from violence and injus- cream in the actual ingredients. A milk chocolate brown radiates from the glass. Wafts of chocolate bliss fill the surrounding air. The liquid enters the mouth and gingerly scrubs the tongue and taste buds. Small sips turn into large gulps, eventually resulting in an empty Yoo-hoo glass bottle.

BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer In tough economic times, Hollywood can count on this weekend for a big haul. This week's line-up features several big name films that will compete for the top box office spot. All the films have potential to be very good and bad. It is just a matter of how far they are willing to go on that spectrum. 0 First on the list is a pair « that I expect to find in the \ Razzies nominations next ^ year. For some reason, Hollywood is still willing to give the Wayne's Brothers money to make movies They have titled their latest abomination "Dance Flick." This genre of lame parodies spawned by "Scary Movie" and continued by the Wayne's Brothers and others such as Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer needs to go away. It makes me sick to see these unoriginal films referencing and exploiting other movies. I will not subject myself to this weak parody of dance movies, and I urge you to do the same. Another waste of money coming out this week is "The Pink Panther 2." Steve Martin returns in this sequel to a remake. Hollywood should not have made thefirstSteve Martin "Pink Panther." The originals are brilliant. The only way movies like "Dance Flick" and "Pink Panther 2" will stop being made is if people stop going to see them.

The Lakers beat the Cavaliers despite Kobe dislocating his finger. They play well despite a string of injuries, and continue to improve their skills (although they need a stronger defense with reliable defensive/offensive rebounding). The Celtic romping of the Lakers in last year's championship series left an indelible sting on Laker morale. Despite last year's loss and obsessive cheers of "Beat LA," the Lakers have assembled an all-star cast of players. Let us rejoice in the fact that our local Lakers team features an impressive bunch of collective talent. A mind-boggling array of talent the NBA has not seen in years, well, at dren to the cinema this weekend, skip Panther 2" and go for "Coraline." Henry Selick directs this stop motion animatedfilm.Selick produced a few stop motion gems including "The Nightmare before Christmas" and "James and the Giant Peach." Dakota Fanning stars in "Coraline," providing the voice for the main character. The story comes from Neil Gaiman's best selling novella of the same name. It follows Coraline, a young girl who finds a secret door into an alternate reality where fantasy and adventure ensue. I hope that this will be more like Selick's other stop motion films rather than his other movie, "Monkeybone." Dakota Fanning also stars in the slick action film "Push." She least not from the Lakers. * My opinion is biased and does not reflect the views of the NBA. Do not blame me if the Lakers perform poorly. Quality of performance is subject to change. I am in the process of creating my own original episode of NBC's hit television series, THE OFFICE. The Mouse Trap, Episode #78? scene 32? Setting: Michael Scott's office room. Michael talks to the interview camera, alone in his office. Michael Scott - At the end of our Christmas parties on Friday I always leave a pair of cookies and milk out on the front desk for Santa, as I am the last to leave. On that following Monday, I rush to the office to see if Santa ate the cookies and drank the milk. Every time I come back, the cookies are always gone, but the milk is still there. Maybe Santa is lactose-intolerant. According to my experience, Santa is lactose-intolerant, which confuses me, because I always wondered how Santa got to be so fat. Side note: for those of you not acquainted with the Office, Michael Scott is not exactly the smartest person in the world.

Latina Dance Project BY CONSUELO MARTINEZ Pride Staff Writer Students will have the opportunity to participate and learn about the hybrid work of the Latina Dance Project. The Latina Dance Project is a group of four women who bring their unique cultural and social perspectives of Latina life in the United States. The 3-day residency of the piece ""Coyolxauhqui Remembers," will take place at Cal State San Marcos with their f irst event a lecture/demonstration on February 4, 7 p.m. in ARTS 111. "Coyolxauhqui Remembers," a modern tale of Coyolxauhqui, the Aztec moon goddess, "is retold through four stories of victimization, feminization, objectification/dismemberment which are brought together in the myth of the moon goddess," according to the program description. The f irst event at CSUSM will be a performance and lecture where attendees will get a preview of the f ull performance to take place at MiraCosta College on February 6. Marilyn Huerta, the Arts and Lectures Coordinator at CSUSM, says the event at CSUSM is f ree to students and the community and all are welcome to attend. Dr. Arcela Nunez-Alvarez of the National Latino Research Center says, "It is important to support cultural events like the Latina Dance Project because they reinforce the need to recognize our cultural traditions and also remind us how culture is constantly changing.

The $30,000 to $60,000 and car salary increase is set in place for allowances raised to $1000 a five years, giving 23 of our CSU month. Our current President Photo by Patrick B. Long / The Pride Karen S. Haynes salary was $203,376, but with the salary increase she now brings home $230,232, not including her $60,000 dollar annual housing allowance and a $1,000 monthly car allowance. As a result, many campus presidents now get a housing allowance that's larger than the starting salary of most assistant professors. "Realistically, this won't have much effect on students financially. For example, at CSUSM, our President got a raise of $27,000. If you divide that by approximately 7000 students that means that it cost each student about $4. So it's likely to have a greater effect on students' morale than their pocketbooks," says Dr. Linda Holt, chairperson for Academic Senate. . The trustees recognize compensation for presidents and system executives as a key element in the California State University's success. The Board of Trustees say that the ability to offer a competitive salary increase is critical to the CSU's ability to recruit and retain key executives who are competent and visionary leaders. Higher education in California shares in a national system that has a very limited pool of qualified executives, and not only do we compete with these key institutions for new executives, but CSU executives are under pressure to consider highly competitive offers from these same institutions. The executive salary increase for campus presidents and system executives has the objective of maintaining a competitive market position.

Dr. Holt says, "On the one hand, it's important that we pay our pres- first. This includes examining the police report to see what descriptions the victims gave versus the evidence uncovered by the police department's investigation. This also includes using the responses given in an interview with the suspect of both cases and comparing his claims to those of the other two women involved. The suspect has denied any involvement in acts of sexual battery at University Village, but has been made aware that he is considered a strong suspect in the matter. The suspect's name and descriptors are available, for anyone who seeks it, at the University Police Department. According to the Public Records Act sections 6250-6270 of the Government Code, such details about a person can become public record if the information will not endanger the safety of a person or endanger successful completion of an investigation. Information can also be released if factual circumstances surround the crime or incident. "University Police has completed its investigation of this matter and offered up all substantial evidence to the District Attorney for review. Therefore, releasing the suspect's name will not interfere with our efforts," said Chief of Police Aaron Woodard, To obtain more information about these cases, contact University Police at 760-750-4567.

But on the other hand, the timing of this increase is unfortunate - we are giving large raises to presidents at the same time as we are asking students to tighten their belts." At the same time they boosted the President salary increases, the Board of Trustees raised student fees another eight percent, and proposed that their fees increase ten percent each year for the nextfiveyears. "Twenty-seven of the Board's implemented a housing allowance for CSU executives. Some university presidents are required to live in official university provided residences. CSU provides official residences at Dominguez Hills, Fresno, Fullerton, Long Beach, Maritime Academy, Monterey Bay, Northridge, Pomona, San Diego and San Jose. Where official CSU residences are not available, the Board of Trustees provides CSU presidents assistance with their housing. The presidents' residences are used for university business including an executive office, university meetings, university-related entertainment, social functions and fundraising. "It is clear to everyone that housing costs in California are much higher than in other parts of the country. Ifpresidential salaries are 49.5 percent less than at comparable institutions, and there is, on top of that, no adjustment for the high cost of housing, we're asking a lot for someone to accept leadership positions on our campuses. Also, keep in mind the demands that are placed on presidents for opening up their personal homes to the campus and the community. Offering different amounts to presidents in different parts of the state allows the CSU to adjust the payment to local needs within the state." says Neal Hoss, vice president offinanceand administrative services. The last comprehensive change was made in the summer of2000. Housing assistance has been reassessed this year in view of equity, housing maintenance costs and services, real estate market changes and housing market relationships. In addition to the housing assistance, the Board of Trustees' adopted a resolution that provides presidents the option of receiving a $750-1,000 per month automobile allowance in lieu of a University vehicle, to support university related business travel requirements. Students, staff, and faculty members have been deeply disturbed by the direction the Trustees are taking the people's university. On the one hand, they are making the system increasingly unaffordable to eligible students. On the other hand, they are failing to pay its faculty and staff enough to survive in this high cost of living state.

They walked out with big raises as well as hefty housing and car allowances. But 40,000 faculty and staff, and 400,000 students have nothing to celebrate about.

As stated in The Pride article titled Sexual Battery at UVA, printed on Nov. 8, it was through the investigation of this incident that a second victim was found who gave descriptions of a suspect that matched those of the first victim, further implicating the case's suspect. Because the incidents of last month are identified as sexual battery cases, and sexual battery is a misdemeanor, the process for prosecution requires that the University Police Department identify all elements of the incident, but does not necessarily mean that arrests must be made 887 W.

The courses Professor O'Halloran will be offering are: The Politics of Irish Nationalism, Politics and Society in Ireland, Conflict Resolution in Northern Ireland, and The Politics of European Union Integration. Course information and class schedules are available on the web through the SMART system. According to Cynthia Chavez Metoyer, professor, department chair and internship coordinator f or the political science department, " The courses are open to students of all majors. However, students will want to check with their f aculty advisor if they are u nsure how the courses might count toward t he University or m ajor requirements." Currently, the politi- cal science department does not have a tenure-track faculty member who teaches eastern, western or central European politics, said Metoyer. "Students will have the opportunity to learn about three important cases, namely Ireland, Northern Ireland and/or the European Union. Each case study raises interesting questions and offers important lessons—economic, social and political—that are relevant for citizens in a global society," said Metoyer. "Approximately 50 million Americans claim some Irish ancestry so students can gain more knowledge about their Irish roots and ancestral homeland," stated Patty Seleski, professor and department chair of the history department. "Given his experience and expertise, and add this to his background as an international scholar, O'Halloran can o ffer students a global view of the world and an opportunity to look at issues f rom a completely different perspective," said Seleski. O'Halloran has taught in the United States, Ireland, and the Ukraine, among other countries, so he is aware of the differences between the Irish and U.S. university systems. He has a great sense of humor and is dedicated to his students and interested in creating courses that will be interesting to American students, according to Seleski. O'Halloran mentioned that his courses will provide students with a sense of past and present Ireland and will be a unique opportunity to study Irish politics and history, taught directly from an Irishman. "The concepts of change and transformation will be central to both my Irish politics and history courses. Ireland is quite simply a fascinating country to study. The past fifteen years have been ones of profound transformation," said O'Halloran. "Politically, socially and economically, the Ireland of 2005 bears little resemblance to the Ireland of 1985. Ireland has one of the best performing econo- mies in the world. The authority of the Catholic Church has collapsed. As such, modern Ireland is becoming quite secular. This compares with the 1950s, for example, when the Church was a major social and political actor and when Irish society was fragmenting because of emigration. Whilst contemporary Ireland is a very dynamic country, there is also a great sense of unease. Many commentators argue that citizens have become too selfish. We are, it is suggested, a nation of self regarding consumers rather than other regarding citizens," commented O'Halloran, about the ample information behind what can be gained through studying Irish politics. "My focus in the Northern Irish politics course will be on conflict resolution in a deeply divided society. A fter thousands of deaths and injuries, Northern Ireland is currently at peace. The course will trace the historical origins of the conflict. It will emphasize that the Graduate student shares study College invite Assemblyman te speak on campus BY SHELLY MONROE Pride Staff Writer Educating students, faculty and campus guests about fetishes and 'culturally poetic sexual expression', guest speaker and Cal State San Marcos graduate student, Chuck Bailey, explored Chuck Bailey the psychological and socio-cultural dimensions of sexual arousal and e gression, on Wednesday, Nov. 16. Fetishes are defined as something, such as a material object or a nonsexual part of the body that arouses sexual desire and may become necessary for sexual gratification. Bailey says, "I think there is a certain stigma associated with fetishes. A fetish always implies a dysfunction, and not every fetish is a dysfunction. Fetish then becomes a j unk work." Fetishes can often be defined by culture. According to Bailey's presentation, the U.S. has popularized sex and fetishism. Body modification was one of the topics discussed in the forum. The U.S. is well-known for practicing body modifications including breast implants, body piercing, bras and corsets. The idea expressed by Chuck Bailey was to understand that all cultures have different practices regarding body modifications. The Chinese had a tradition called feet binding, practiced for over 1,000 years. Feet binding usually began when-the girl was four and took about five years to complete. If the process was started too late, the feet would be too large and not supple enough to bend, but starting too soon would carry the danger that the girl would be crippled for life and possibly b e unable to walk. Bound feet was a mark of the Han Chinese considered in that culture to be the mark of belonging to a more civilized echelon of people. Those who did not participate in this process were considered barbarians. There were sexual reasons behind bind- conflict must always b e understood as a human tragedy," said O'Halloran. O'Halloran promotes class participation because he sees teaching as a dialogue, and he is not traveling from Ireland to merely deliver monologues, stated O'Halloran. Ideally, students will finish the courses having gained new perspectives with a desire to learn more about the course topics and will have also developed their critical analytical faculties. According to O'Halloran, he loves his job and the classroom interaction it provides and feels students and teachers are privileged to be given the opportunity to study and learn. He is excited about his first visit to California and hopes to learn more about Californian politics, culture and history. "So if you see a lost Irishman on campus please point him in the right direction...to the nearest blue ocean where the sand is warm and the sun shines," said O'Halloran. BY PATRICK B.LONG Pride Staff Writer Image courtesy of Chuck Bailey ing feet; it was the longest-lived fetish in the world. After binding the feet, the lower legs atrophied. The woman would use her hip muscles to move relying less on leg muscles resulting in enlargement of the hip muscles and also of the perineum muscle. The perineum is the small area between the anus and vagina. Binding did increase the shrinkage power of the vagina, which was an appeal of this process. In 1895, foot binding was outlawed in China and is no longer practiced. Other topics discussed in the forum were paraphilias, which are recurrent intense sexuality arousing fantasies, urges, behaviors, generally involving non-humans, objects, or the suffering or humiliation of oneself or partner. Some of the paraphilias focused on clinical fetishism. Clinical fetishism is when the fetish becomes a problem with fantasy, such as Transvestism, S & M, and Bondage. An example of paraphilias is bondage, where someone, usually persons of power, is put into a more subjective role, to fulfill their fantasies. Some of the treatments discussed about clinical paraphilias are psychoanalysis and behavior modification. The intended purposes of the forum were to project cultural difference of various fetishes and provide a better understanding of 'culturally poetic sexual expression*. The idea, presented by Bailey, was to try to withhold judgment and understand the context presented. Bailey has offered this forum before and it has gained great interest by students, faculty, and guests. Bailey is a graduate student working towards his Masters at Cal State San Marcos. If you would like more information, please contact Chuck Baileyatcb999@cox.net. Assemblyman Ray Haynes (R) held an open forum on Wednesday Nov. 16 at the Mezzanine on Cal State San Marcos, sponsored by the College Republicans. The Assemblyman for district 66 was promoting his initiative for a state run border patrol and his "Board of Equalization." The initiative, known as the "California Border Police Act," would set into place a state police department whose main purpose would be to assist the federal Border Patrol. It would also enforce state wide immigration laws. Such laws would include employer enforcement of these laws. "We have about three quarters of the signatures we need for this initiative," said Assemblyman Haynes, during the open forum. "The Board of Equalization", "A quasi-judicial office, the BOE hears the appeals of taxpayers (both individuals and businesses) who feel state taxing authorities have ruled incorrectly," reads the Web site supporting the initiative. "I was happy with the turn out," said Haynes about the crowd. He stated that there was an open flow of people coming and going.

Or that 58.4 percent of freshmen come from North San Diego County? The average student at CSUSM most likely does not know the basics of our campus. There is now no excuse because interesting facts about the demographics of our campus are readily available in the pocket-sized handbook, Quickstats 2006. According to publications manager, George Cagala, "It's an economical way of presenting a clear, concise profile of the campus as it relates to students (age, gender, ethnicity, etc.); faculty, budgets, financial aid and other info." The fingertip facts and figures booklet contains a map of the campus and phone numbers from the various departments at CSUSM. It also provides a brief history of the campus. For instance, of the 210 tenured and tenure-track faculty members, 209 have a doctorate or the highest degree in their field. The annual payroll for CSUSM employees is included in Quickstats, as well as the most popular major, which is business administration, followed by liberal studies. Of the 7,500 students who attend Cal State San Marcos, approximately 3,954 received financial aid for the 2004-2005 school year. This handy booklet was funded by the University Advancement publications budget, and is an informative and f un resource for anyone who may be interested in the campus. Quickstats is perfect for student orientations, community events and chamber of commerce meetings. Prospective employees and students will find the booklet very convenient in learning more about their future campus. Parents of students as well as donors and volunteers will also find this compendium of campus facts and figures useful. The basic statistical information was gathered from various departments at CSUSM and compiled into one pocket-sized booklet.

Everything from the fixings to the volunteer labor force to the floral department trimmings was donated by south Orange County Albertsons stores in conjunction with the Irvine distribution center. "This is what we do; we're in the food business," remarked Shuit. "Sometimes, people take freedom for granted. We are trying to make the situation better for them before they deploy. Our freedoms are a direct result of the service of these men and women." Like any true holiday celebration, there was food, family, games, music and prizes. "We'll be raffling off TVs, DVDs, and all the way down to oil changes. We'll even be offering a weekend package to a resort for four," said Lt. Col Kozenisky proudly* "It's unreal how much support we've gotten. Albertson's especially," mentioned Sgt. Stephen Ferguson. "This event is giving the Marines a Thanksgiving and Christmas with families since they won't be here to celebrate with them." Jackie Ferguson, the mother of Sgt. Stephen Ferguson, spearheaded the event acknowledging the connection she feels with the service men and women. "When you see them, your heart gets all warm and you can't stand to help think what theses guys are missing," said Jackie. "I'm just trying to give them a little piece of home before they leave." environment encourages students (and staff and faculty) to NOT talk about race and racism with one another and as long as we maintain that silence, justice cannot happen. This course takes a racial group called "whites" as worry about how they will be skinny like her. Girls of color can never look like her (as far as being white), which sends a message that they are not as important." Studies have been conducted on nonwhite Barbie, and statistically kids of all ethnicities for the most part have chosen the white Barbie as more beautiful and more desirable than nonwhite dolls. White is desired in this country because white equals power and privilege. Mattel Public Relations Michelle Llorin says, "Mattel was the first company to have ethnic Barbie dolls plus Barbie's first best friend was Christine and African American Barbie doll." Mattel introduced Barbie's first friend Christie, and A frican-American Barbie in 1968. Mattel is the first toy company to have produced ethnic Barbie's and carries them all year round. Currently, Barbie comes in Hispanic, African American and Asian versions all around the world. Mattel states three Barbie dolls are sold every second somewhere in the world. With more than $3 billion in retail, Barbie is the number one girl's brand worldwide. The Barbie Doll continues to be a top seller for the toy company Mattel. The forum will discuss Barbie and the impacts it holds on girls in today's society. The student will share what they know and offer support to student activism. Professor Liliana Rossmann said, " I've attended the forum in the past and I have learned a lot. Growing up in Mexico, I had an entirely different perspective on Whiteness. In Mexico, I am considered " white" because my ancestors (some of them, anyway) came f rom Spain. In the U.S., the categories are different, so I_am supposed to check a different box: Hispanic, which is a cultural category, not a racial or. ethnic category. This boxchecking reminds me of how these categories are socially c onstructed, as are our interpretations thereof." The forum will be a provocative, interactive, experiential space in which students, faculty, and guests can explore assumptions and misconceptions about race and whiteness. Students, faculty, and guests will leave with a better understanding of the concepts of whiteness and be motivated to learn more. The forum will be held from 11:15-12:45 p.m. in Commons 206 on Thursday, Dec. 1. MARINES, from page 1 according to Diconti. With the gracious support of Albertsons, the early holiday picnic and celebration had all the necessary ingredients for a deliciotis assortment of meal options. "We'll have turkey, ham, prime rib, and all the fixings. It's a complete holiday meal," said Fred Shuit, senior vice president of Albertsons grocery stores. Over a hundred Albertson's associates were on site unloading WHITENESS, from page 1 Laura Hansen says, "Whiteness is not easy to explain; I believe whiteness means power and privilege at the expense of others' disadvantage. Most whites would say I am not a racist and I would say maybe not aggressively, but passively, we are because of the stereotypes we are fed daily through the media, laws and institutions." COMM 454 was first offered in Fall 2003 and was the result of an independent study that Professor Dreama Moon conducted with a small group of communication students. Given her research in whiteness studies and the response that she received from students when she presented information about her research, it was decided by the department to develop this course. "I felt that this course was imperative in terms of my goal of social and racial justice. It is important to talk about whites and white supremacy in a conscious and critical way that help students understand both the history of race, racism, and white supremacy in the U.S. and its historical legacy and present day manifestation. The old conservative politically correct a critical object, w hich i s gener- ally not done in most academic forums," said Professor Moon. Students in Moon's class have been preparing for this forum by looking in depth into topics such as Barbie, beauty products and political cartoons. In the Whiteness class, the students read and discuss all aspects of whiteness. Moon mentioned that, "It is important that young people learn that they can effect change and that they have important insights about the world to share. The forum will allow my students to realize and utilize their expertise in the area of whiteness." Students are looking in depth at how whiteness effects the topic they are studying. Hansen, a student in COMM 454 is studying Barbie dolls and how whiteness ties in with Barbie. Barbie is one of the biggest icons in the world produced by Mattel. She represents what is considered beautiful in this country, which is represented as white.

I must admit that last Thanksgiving, while bundled-up in a mountain cabin at Lake Arrowhead with the "love of my life", I would've never envisioned this year's solo trek to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Then again, life is f ull of surprises. [I suppose many aspects of life could be taken in with great dread and horror, like the unexpected end of a highly romantic relationship, or they could be embraced as a part of our greater individual growth, and welcomed in with new adventures.] The woman I was last Thanksgiving no longer exists. She was a solid, levelheaded professional investigating the possibilities of a personal life aside from college and the boardroom. She snuggled a handsome French gentleman beside a roaring fire, drank hot chocolate and reflected with calm joy on the mundane artifacts in that simple mountain cabin, as snow fell gently against the icy windows. She danced in the kitchen, as she hadn't done in years, and lingered on his every breath as he whispered sweet fantasies into her ear. She wanted very much to be swept away, but I think that woman was very afraid, and wanted desperately to believe in something beyond her deeply guarded inner world. Yes, that woman went away, but she made room for the bolder one sitting here today, carefully packing her ruck sack for four days in the great outdoors. This will be my first "Thinks"giving. I am a bit apprehensive, but I thought this might be a solid and rewarding way to face my fear of isolation, to even admit to it, as I often consider myself the world's biggest loner. I'm expecting a true adventure, even a bit of a vision quest, a way to get back in touch with my own power and gentle thoughts. I will begin Thanksgiving morning on the South Rim, and gradually make my way twelve miles below to Supai Village in the Havasupai lands. Havasupai means "people of the bluegreen water," and I too grew up around blue-green water, near Lake Tahoe in the High Sierras. Back then I was a bold mountain girl, bursting with hopes and dreams. So, as I hike down the windy paths, I will watch the sky and listen for whispers in the wind. Somewhere there might be signs of what is in store for me, or of what I now seek from without and within. The main goal of this quest is to grab onto some new dreams, or perhaps ask the Earth to return Photos c ourtesy of L izz O sbourne / The Pride some of my old ones, as I must have set them down somewhere. I hope t o return to finish this semester at Cal State San Marcos with a renewed sense of spirit and "thanksgiving." Happy Trails, and Happy Thanksgiving to all! A holiday reflections, a Thanksgiving pledge BY BRIAN MASON Pride Staff Writer When I think of Thanksgiving I usually think of drunken relatives watching football after stuffing themselves with turkey. This Thanksgiving will be slightly different. Instead of many relatives, there will only be immediate family i.e. my brother, me, my father and mother. In retrospect, I look back at Thanksgivings when my grandmother would come over bearing apple pie, stumbling from her car because carpel tunnel and a weary spirit hindered her movement.

I mering sunlight, naturally blinding everything around. This is the first time she has been gone since I was born, and the impact has taken a heavy toll on my family's spirits. Nonetheless, this Thanksgiving will be spent in best of spirits as alcohol flows and the memory of family members warms our minds. Thanksgiving is about giving. It says it in the name. We are not a religious family, but all our thoughts go to a member thousands of miles away, as we stuff turkey and wine into our gluttonous bellies. Thanksgiving is a remembrance of good times past and of great times to come. The social anxiety that grips the human spirit is sent elsewhere as we remember the ones we love and give thanks and praise to those we care most for. This Thanksgiving I will be drunk, remembering all that life has offered me, and all that life has taken from me. I will spend Thanksgiving with friends and family that comfort me through the unnecessary pitfalls that we encounter on a daily basis. This Thanksgiving I will be thankful. This Thanksgiving I will be remembering. This Thanksgiving I will be honoring. This Thanksgiving I will be loved.

Junior literature and Writing Major Curry Mitchell Toy drive re-ignites holiday flame BY MONIQUE NIESLEY Special to The Pride With Thanksgiving almost here, students may be starting to feel the Grinch-like effects of too much holiday commercialism: Christmas décor went up in most stores right after Halloween, the Christmas-themed commercials began soon after, and the pre-Christmas sales have already started. Even in the midst of a nice turkey coma, many still have to figure out a way to juggle shopping with their finals schedule. None of this does much good for fostering "peace on earth" or "good will towards men." If you'd like a quick, sure-fire way to change all that, the CSUSM Pre-Health Society (PHS) has the remedy: make a donation to their annual toy-clothing-food drive. "I had a magical experience when I donated toys and helped give them out to needy kids in Escondido," said Phoenix Lindgren, PHS President. "It was a Christmas morning I'll never forget." Lindgren hopes to spread the magic to her fellow students, staff, and faculty through the PHS toy drive. "In past years, the Pre-Health Society has just accepted donations of used clothing—and we want to continue that tradition— but we also wanted to expand our effort to reach out to more people that arc part o f o ur c ommunity," i smo^check"speciar " 1 I I | t est only / test all* CtQi 7C vDO I .

"The Interfaith Council serves the needs of the poorest people living here in the North County—we are hoping to not only gather clothing for their homeless clients, but toys for the kids this year, too." According to the Interfaith web site (www.interfaithservices.org), their clients need everything from baby formula to bus passes, from school supplies to toothpaste. "If you can't afford to donate a toy you can probably afford to donate a couple of toothbrushes or a stick of deodorant—everything helps." That said, Lindgren went on to show that helping the children is what really motivates her. "The kids started lining up outside the Interfaith Council building at 3a.m.," recalls Lindgren. "They were each allowed to choose one 'big' toy and one stuffed animal. They took such care to make their choices, older kids would pick out something for a younger sister or brother rather than something for themselves; the kids were so loving and thankful and generous... I can't wait to go back this Christmas, even if I do have to be there at 5a.m. What else am I gonna be doing at 5a.m. Christmas morning?" Look for the big truck donated by U-Store-It/U-Haul parked outside The Dome in parking lot E starting Tuesday, November 29 through Thursday, December 1. Donations will be accepted from 8a.m. until 3p.m. each day. The Pre-Health Society is a campus student organization dedicated to helping students achieve their dream of attending professional medical, dental, veterinary, optometry, nursing, and pharmacy schools.

SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT 7 �8 FEATURES TUesday. November 22, 2005 THE PRIDE The hidden costs of discounted student travel Student learns a lesson in accomodation BY JOELLE FRANKEL Special To The Pride As a broke college student, I am always looking for new ways to cut corners, but recently my frugal nature got the best of me. With Thanksgiving and Winter Break quickly approaching, I only hope that my fellow CSUSM students can learn from my mistakes. When it comes to holiday travel plans, be wary of deceptive student discounts. When planning a trip to Boston this October, I searched for deals on Expedia, Priceline, Orbitz, Hotwire, and Cheaptickets, but the plane ticket prices were astronomical, and the hotel packages they offered were equally outrageous. I had seen a student travel office in PB and was curious to see what kinds of fares they offered. The travel agent at STA Travel was friendly and seemed interested in my travel plans. She immediately found tickets for $150 less than I had been able to find on my own. When I explained to her that my friend and I were both racing at "Head of the Charles," a competitive regatta in Boston, she offered to find us a hotel nearby as well. She found us lodging a mere 10 minutes from the racecourse and, to my surprise, it was only $80 per night. All of the hotels I had searched for on my own were at least $300,1 was delighted by the good news. In fact, I was so pleased with my initial experience that I emailed the travel agent, thanked her for her assistance and requested contact information so I could write an article about STA Travel upon returning from Boston. I hoped to title my article something like, "STA Travel: Good Deals and Great Service for Students." Two weeks before our trip I contacted our hotel, The Battlefield Inn, and requested a non-smoking room, as my travel companion and I are both allergic to smoke, and needed to be in peak-condition for our races. The front desk assured me that our room would be non-smoking. Our hotel seemed mòre like an apartment complex as we checked in at one building before walking back outside under artificial awnings. On the way to our room, we both noticed the thick and overwhelming smell of cigarette smoke. Immediately upon opening the door the same intense smell flooded toward us, this time obviously masked by the sting of disinfectant. We immediately returned to the front desk, requested a new room, and were taken by the manager to smell three other rooms, all of which were intolerable. Finally, we arrived at a room on the second floor and decided that we had better take it, as we only detected a relatively faint amount of smoke. We awoke to ourfirstmorning in Boston with sinus headaches, which later turned into migraines. Our voices were faint and throats scratchy, hindering communication with our rowers. Another unwelcome surprise was the fact that it took two busses and a subway car 90 minutes to get us from F E I FIVE RE FIVE 1 |39Daysf BUY 1 MYSTIC I I A T "fans i Unliminted Lewi 11 MYSTIC TANS or I UY C B 1„ u Tr » I» : 1 I T D A TANS TAN/ GET< 1 r REE I| L e ' g• I I Premium D eds I IULTRA T A K I C i Fn r r 0 » W * 2 5 I 0 nW $ 3 9 WU'àiìimìgMDDms a trip to Mexico, also through STA Travel, I might have avoided another near-disaster. My boyfriend and I had wanted to take a vacation to celebrate our 1 year anniversary, and found a very affordable package using the STA Travel website. After looking at pictures of many different hotels, we settled on the Marbella Suites, which featured beautiful rooms, a clear pristine swimming pool, and looked like a pictureperfect paradise. We were greeted at the front of our hotel by a starving stray puppy, covered with mange and dragging an injured leg. It lied down on the tile stairs amid piles of dead ants. Being an animal lover, I cried each and every time we passed it, and we ended up spending $150 and a majority of our time helping the dog. Although the staff at Marbella Suites was friendly and accommodating, our room was nothing like the one featured in the pictures. We had no television, no blow dryer, no closet, and our bathroom was in neglected condition. The beautiful swimming pool we had seen online was choked with leaves, dirt and other debris. "With hotels, you get what you pay for," says Cooper. I guess I should have known when the description featured only three stars. Although we are able to look back and laugh about our terribly unromantic vacation in Cabo, we didn't see the humor in it at the time. Once again, it's possible that we could have salvaged our romantic getaway by simply picking up the phone, but I guess we'll never know. "We have STA Travel affiliates all over t hrough t heir a gency a nd arc n ot s atisfied the world." So if students aren't happy with their lodgings, they should call the with their lodgings, Cooper advises that nearest office and ask what their options they "go to the nearest office, call the affilare. iate office, or call the 1-800-number.

On the bus ride back from the race course, the driver asked "you do know that the upper floors of the Battlefield Inn are lower income housing?" This explained the babies crying and cats wandering around. From that point on, we lovingly referred to our hotel as "The Minefield Inn," and knew that we had to get out of there. Fortunately, a friend of ours had an extra room at the Holiday Inn Select in Cambridge and let us stay there for free. After what we'd been through it seemed like The Ritz Carlton. Thanks to a good night's sleep, my friend and I both went on to have great races. Anticipating a lot of return traffic at the airport, we were careful to get there two hours before our flight. When we arrived at the airport, however, we were unable to check in at the electronic travel kiosk, and couldn't find our flight on the information board. An airline agent informed us that our flight had been cancelled in August. "Your travel agent should have let you know," he explained. The agent was able to get us on another flight, but now we had to endure a 4 hour layover in Atlanta. We spent all four hours cursing STA Travel's incompetence, swearing never to use their services again. After speaking with Adam Cooper, STA Travel's District Manager of San Diego, it is now clear to me that instead of complaining to each other, we should have been complaining to STA Travel. "If you get to a destination and it's bad, you can give us a call," said Cooper. He explained that if students book a trip «¡H $ 49 l Reservations Not Required.

I have is a beast that refuses to be moved BY JOSH SANDOVAL Special to The Pride when he is under the basket. I seem to always pick Gonzaga to make a run; this year is no different. I really like Kentucky. I think they could go all the way. They remind me a lot of Illinois from last year. They have three guards who can light up the scoreboard in Rajon Rondo, Patrick Sparks, and Joe Crawford. However, their inside game worries me a little bit; when you have three guys who like to shoot, you need someone in thè paint to pick up the rebounds when those guys miss. I think Boston College can have a decent season behind Craig Smith, and my former elementary school classmate, Jared Dudley. However, they don't have any perimeter shooting and just like last year, they will fall short in the post season. I think the biggest bust this year will be Texas Tech. I don't see why so many people have them ranked in the top 20. They have way too many freshmen on one team to be successful. They have no star power, and not to mention, Bobby Knight hasn't won jack since 1987. The two saddest teams to watch this season will be North Carolina and Illinois. North Carolina lost everyone. If they win 10-games I will be impressed. Illinois still has Dee Brown and James Augustine, but I don't expect them to be in the top 25 at seasons end. Now for the sleepers. Maryland is going to be very impressive this year. D.J. Strawberry is back and healthy. James Gist will become a star and a force to be reckoned with. Nik CanerMedley.and Ekene Ibekwe will fill nice complimentary roles. I honestly, see them making at least the sweet 16. I may look like a fool now for saying this, but I think San Diego State could be a sleeper this year. Brandon Heath does crazy things with the basketball. Marcus Slaughter kills his opponents under the basket. A SDSU team with two future NBA quality players is something that I can't remember seeing in my lifetime. Not to mention they play in a weak Mountain West Conference. I can see the Aztecs winning a game in the NCAA tourney. However, I think the true sleeper of them all will be UCLA. Jordan Farmar Arron Afflao, arid Cedric Bozeman provide the young star power. Luc Mbah a Moute could be one of those rare freshmen that have a huge impact on a team's success. The Bruins do have some tough competition in the Pac10, with Arizona and Stanford there to challenge them in the regular season. That challenge will prepare the young team for the NCAA tourney, and don't be surprised if you see UCLA in the elite 8 in March. My original final four picks never make it so don't go bet you college tuition, but here they are: I like Gonzaga, Kentucky, Michigan State, and Arizona.

Clarification: If you want to argue that folks have to attend events in order to be able to provide commentary about them, then there is heaps of literature that you may want to avoid. She said: "Do you really mean for ASI to censor speakers simply because they are controversial?" I say: No, I mean for ASI to be more reasonable in serving the needs of the student body, for ASI claims to be the "officially recognized voice of the students." And I simplyfindit hard to believe that the student body is best served by events like "Sluts Unite". Now, on to this week's topic: Fee increases at the CSU. So here's the deal: On October 27, The California State University Board of Trustees (folks in the clouds twirling wands and wearing crowns) agreed on a budget request that would increase funding for the CSU at a level consistent with the Compact for Higher Education. Oh, and the budget request is also designed to increase undergraduate tuition to an average total of $3,368 per year for California residents. This figure includes average campus-based fees. So our fees are going up. Are you interested? Does this news upset you? I reckon that it should, for losing money is painful. And as one of my professors told me, people like pleasure and dislike pain. . I have the privilege (a privilege above all other privileges) to work with some of the folks in ASI, and they seem quite miffed. But I guess they should be quite miffed. I mean, if they were merely indifferent (as opposed to quite miffed) I'd probably be quite miffed at them for not accu- rately representing students who should be miffed about losing money. Stay with me people. The point is that I know ASI is upset, and I think that other students should probably be upset as well. The question is, while it's natural to be upset about losing money, are we really being burdened that much? I conducted a little research and discovered that even after the forthcoming fee increase, CSU students (residents) will pay less than students (residents) at state schools in New York ($4350) and Pennsylvania ($4906), and almost the same as students at state schools in Hawaii ($3352). According to the Trends in College Pricing 2005 report published by CollegeBoard, "Average total tuition and fees at four-year public colleges and universities in 2005-06 are $5,491." So on paper it appears that, relative to students at public schools in other states, we aren't facing that oppressive of a burden. But then I would be a jerk to ignore the folks who argue that students in Southern California are burdened by a high cost of living. This corner claims that an increasing tuition, combined with said high cost of living, makes it hard to survive. Your political commentator would like to respond to this claim: Bologna. When I look around campus and talk to my peers, I don't get the impression that most CSUSM students are barely surviving. I see spiffy cars in the parking lot, expensive surf shop clothes, and iPods; I hear stories about folks killing heaps of beers, and going out for sushi. I don't think that this sort of consumption pattern is bad, but I also don't think this sort of consumption pattern is reflective of students that can barely survive. And if students that consume like this can barely survive, I would argue that it is their own fault. I would argue that students ought to live more modestly. It's my view that being a student doesn't entitle you to a four year vacation. And for the students who live modestly and still struggle to survive under these fee increases, I feel your pain. My point is this: Access to higher education should be affordable; I think that it basically is; and I think that when financial crises cause fees to rise to levels that are not relatively burdensome, students ought to try to endure the burden that exists by living more modestly. I have holes in my sandals.

What, and you all thought that was my job? Right? Well it is, but lest we all forget that I control this little Ombudsman box I'm just going to say that there were some problems with last week's edition and there was some good stuff too (i.e. three big glasses of beer on the back page). There, that about sums it all up — no more in-depth Ombudsman's, just bad summaries that don't explain anything. No, actually, I want to talk about politics this week, the Robbins Report just isn't getting it done (just kidding Jason). Seriously, though, the question that I want to tackle is a very real one: Does The Pride have a political bias? Last week's issue had the question in there, whether it was apparent or not. Between the Letter to the Editor accusing Jason of improperly assessing the political atmosphere at CSUSM and Jason's own column the week before, the question was subtle but there, as to whether or not The Pride is biased. Now I'm going to admit right off the bat that I'm biased on this topic; I like the Robbins Report and I agree with most of what Jason writes in it.

TofurkyPPP BY JOELLE FRANKEL Special To The Pride More than 40 million turkeys are killed each Thanksgiving. This year CSUSM students—be radical, be revolutionary, challenge tradition—give turkeys the opportunity to be thankful too. Before these beautiful birds arrive at your dinner table, they face unimaginable pain and suffering. The majority of turkeys spend the last 5-6 six months of their lives crammed into 3.5 square feet of space. PETA's website explains that "To keep the overcrowded birds from scratching and pecking each other to death, workers cut off portions of the birds' toes and upper beaks with hot blades...no pain killers are used during any of these procedures." Aside from terrible living conditions, the slaughtering practices of turkeys are inhumane and inexcusable. Also, according to PETA, the turkeys are hung upside down by one leg and their dangling heads are dipped ing: "Who is this crazy, rabbitinto an "electrified 'stunning food eating hippy trying to guilttank,' which immobilizes them trip me, and ruin my Thanksgivbut does not kill t hem" After ing...and how the hell does she the lucky ones get electrified, the know what I'm thinking?" turkeys' throats are slit by a blade Not too long ago, I was just like attached to a machine (although you. the blade many times misses its I used to show vegetarians my target), and finally the birds are pointy teeth and say, "If I'm not submerged in scalding hot water. supposed to eat meat, what are Due to genetic engineering, these for?" poor conditions, and a constant For a long time I lived in feed of antibiotics, another orga- denial, until I took a philosophy nization, Advocates for Animals, class here at CSUSM.

Arguments for cougars to ponder during thanksgiving BY JEANNE SAPP Pride Staff Writer There is a point-counterpoint being argued in various arenas in our nation - government, church, and schools. This unmediated debate centers on the question of national integrity. The real question is do we have any? And whose ethics, which political party, worldview, or economic demographic, will stand for those of the nation? The arguments are many and passionate and often contradictory: We are a Christian nation. But there is a constitutional separation of church and state. There is a constitutional right to privacy, upon which grounds the highest court in the land based its ruling that unborn children may be killed. But' capital punishment is, by definition, cruel and inhumane. Torturing prisoners is unethical, and as an ethical nation, we mustn't sanction it. But that part of the Geneva Convention is void because terrorists don't fight fair - they hide behind women, and in churches, and they dress like civilians. We are a democratic republic; it works well for us, and will therefore work for other nations. But who are we to say that the Middle East should, or can, follow our form of government? And if they choose to remain a despotic theocracy, do we still send them aid? Do we vaccinate the children who are then inculcated with the religion of hating Americans? If they despise everything we stand for, and we stand for healthy children and helping old people and capitalism, do we continue to aid them? It is interesting that many people are not at all uncomfortable being of two minds on any debate. The most popular spin the past few years? "I support the troops but I'm against the war." The men and woman who comprise the troops have sworn to defend and protect the Constitution, and if the nation over which that Constitution rests sends them to war, they go. If you support the military, doesn't it follow that you support the nation that military protects? Perhaps we just want to avoid that quagmire that society found itself in when our men and women of the armed forces returned from Vietnam - exhausted, injured, sick, and demonized. The United States of America was once the moral voice of the* world. Those in disagreement with our current administration will howl at that statement, because it offends their sensibilities that any nation should hold itself above others in moral or ethical behavior. Yet those same people would say we are morally obligated to take this stand or that stand in the world. Some might base those obligations on faith: I'm a Christian, and Christians are supposed to feed and clothe the poor. Or a political viewpoint - I'm a Democrat, and we believe in social equality for all. I'm a Republican and we need to provide jobs for everyone who wants one. I'm an atheist, but you don't kill another person because it's just wrong. Either we do maintain a strong moral and ethical national identity, even as we argue, sometimes in court, about what exactly is moral and ethical. Or we crawl off into a corner under the guise of some false humility and ask who are we to say what is right or wrong. �THE PRIDE 1 A 1 TH ^ Tuesday, November 22, 2005 lj Thanksgiving out on the BY JESSICA DAMBKOWSKI Pride Staff Writer Thanksgiving is a time for family, food, and fun.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer Don't feel guilty if this item seems unfamiliar. Deprived, maybe, but not guilty. It's one thing to be ignored by TV, two more by radio, but this isn't even a matter for most any given sect of the under-the-radar faithful, for most of them have yet to bear Witness to the Lord of Lard, also known as Raymond Watts, also heard as "PIG". In fact, this latest release was initially only available overseas under the moniker of 'WATTS', but we can save marketing details for later, perhaps when "Pigmata" is actually made available through the average music store. First, let's get down to the gritty gristle of classification, of genre. No, I don't like to think of my music as predictable any more than you like yours dismissed as 'weird'. Nonetheless, this time there's really no getting around one of the most reviled labels in modern music history. "Industrial." Not since 'Rock' and 'Metal' began acknowledging their many illegitimate children (and parasitic twins) has there been a more nebulous sonic-flag. Some make it a family quilt, others a diaper and still others simply use it like a hanky...then there's the issue of what pocket they keep it in. And like so many things we wished we'd discovered, 'Industrial' was probably born before you were, during the dawn of electronic music and the twilight of free-love music. A coincidence? Nevermind. Two of the more often acknowledged forefathers were "Psychic TV" and "Throbbing Gristle". More performance art ventures than bands, their 'industrial music' might best be described as a liaison between punk, jazz and disco wherein all parties are as profoundly intoxicated as they are ugly.

It's almost as if people preferred electronic music for dancing rather than tearing the world apart. Many might credit the 'band' (Industrial acts often revolve around one or two core musicians) "Ministry" with establishing the 'electro-metal' favored by fans of "Static-X" and "Rammstein" or the 'industrial-pop/rock' of "nine inch nails/Trent Reznor" and "Marilyn Manson". Indeed, other two-decades-and-counting outfits like "Skinny Puppy" and "KMFDM" have become more like unusually-diverserock than ugly-techno. Raymond Watts, among the few who know the name, is best known for-his contributions to KMFDM (an acronym of the German saying 'No Pity for the Masses'), but tp truly prepare someone for PIG, they'd need to imagine every rocker or metal-head who ever used keyboards, synthesizers, programming etc. having a big party together. Now imagine a lanky yet rugged Brit in the alley behind them, getting creative with their garbage and kinky with their girlfriends. It took a week's worth of machismo to say that, but one of the best things about the mighty swine is that he's too much of a lecher to be a chauvinist, too violent to be a Neanderthal, and too unmarketabley creative to be a punk. Almost a decade ago, when "Sinsation" was released on Trent Reznor's now defunct record label, I learned something that I still hold as a personal creative philosophy: Every single negative thing about humanity can be turned into astoundingly beautiful 3 rt. PIG, like the best of Industrial MassDestructions, and the best of Punk's intentions, puts you in what I call the 'Dance Pit'. Don't cut a rug; disembowel it. The interchange and interplay of seemingly polarized elements marks each and every track of "Pigmata" like a salad tossed with gravy. Watts has a guttural roar and a sinister croon that even the most jaded listener couldn't dismiss as a mere shock-affectation. Though I admit it might be hard to say the same thing about song titles like "God Rod" or "On the Slaughterfront". In some places the guitar crush splits the world, only to lay the tracks that bring you down, down, down into leisurely grooves and BY MELISSA BAIRD Pride Staff Writer Images courtesy of Metropolis Records epic duets with divas, sirens, and the filthy whores we know as 'samples'. Unlike his previous albums, "Pigmata" is not only noticeably more guitar-driven, yet lacking in darkly serene instrumentals, but the production is far less polished, maintaining 'live' rather than futuristic textures. It's not uncommon for artists to harness the height of technology, only to return to something comparatively organic. In this case Watts also seems to favor clunkier analog electronics, but his use of orchestral catgut, big band brass, and even mambo drums remains crisp and uncanny. One drawback to this 'natural' production, however, is that Watts' aforementioned filthy mouth is even harder to decipher. There are some damn catchy melodies here, but damned again if I can sing along with more than half the chorus. Music fans might question whether PIG is Better for people who prefer their music ugly, yet are curious about the other side (or vice versa), and I could list off all the music I absolutely love that could pass in the old folks home, but I think there's a place that Industrial has all to itself. There might still be some space available for a few of these garage punks pretending they have the skill or puberty to play metal. In the end, it's often a feeling of wretched boredom with the lion's portion of music that leads to animals like PIG, who stare through stray hair and veins as the whole mess is slopped out, stirred with copper wire, and offered, to the lucky ones, as a way to fertilize all that mud in their ears.

Trolley bells ring and shrubbery lights flicker as skaters glide and fall on this unfamiliar ground. The ice skating rink known as "Fantasy on Ice" sits directly in front of the Horton Plaza mall. The main appeal of the rink is its outdoor location. While the typical ice rink is surrounded by smelly hockey bags and abandoned Gatorade bottles, Fantasy is surrounded with balloons and trees. Though it is roughly half the size of the Iceoplex rinks, Fantasy's lack of rowdy hockey players and penalty buzzers makes it preferable for those who aren't voraciously athletic. Skate into the holiday season with your family and friends and enjoy San Diego's only outdoor skating rink. Fantasy on Ice is open until Jan. 2006 and daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Cost is ten dollars for persons over twelve and eight dollars for anyone younger.

If the plot, performances, directing, etc is up to par, it obviously only helps the film. Knowing ahead of time that Shane Black wrote "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang", I knew the two leading actors, Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer, would not only have chemistry but develop a hilarious love/hate relationship. Harry Lockhart (Downey Jr.), a petty thief from New York, escapes from the police after a robbery gone wrong. He stumbles into an audition of a casting call and gives an over the top spontaneous performance. Dabney Shaw (Larry Miller), a big time producer sees him as the next big thing and invites him out to Los Angeles. At a party, Harry meets Gay Perry (Kilmer), a gay detective, hence, his name. Also at the party, Harry runs into his childhood crush Harmony Lane (Michelle Monaghan), an aspiring actress. Gay agrees to coach Harry, who does not how to act like a real cop, by taking him to solve a murder of a young woman. During a series of adventures where people turn up dead and clues are found, Gay becomes more irritated by Harry's absent mindedness. Also, Harry is prone to accidents and loses his own finger, not once, but twice. I knew Downey Jr. and Kilmer would have chemistry, because Black has written Hollywood's funniest action comedies (e.g. the Lethal Weapon Trilogy and The Last Boy Scout) where the chemistry between the two leading actors would carry the movie. Also, in his directorial debut, Black's use of cinematography shows that he is competent behind the camera as well as writing. He captured action scenes with the ease of a seasoned director. The next best thing of "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" is the screenplay. Word by word, line by line, you can't help but to chuckle, and at times, burst out laughing. I know I did. For example, during an argument, Gay says, "If you looked in the dictionary next to the word 'idiot', you know what you'll find?" Harry cheerfully replies "A picture of me?" Typical Hollywood discourse would respond with "Yes". Kiss Kiss Bang Bang defies that logic by having Harry up the banter between the two characters by saying, "No, the definition of the word'idiot'." Black, knowing Hollywood's clichés and movie standards, embraces them and insults them simultaneously. For example, when Harry is about to interrogate a suspect by using the Russian roulette method (he empties a revolver, leaving one bullet in the chamber and spins it). Other films would have Harry ask his questions while pulling the trigger with no bullet being fired. But in this film, the bullet isfiredon the first try, killing the Images courtesy of Warner Brothers Pictures suspect. To top it off, Harry is shocked and ponders the question, "Don't I have like an eight percent chance of the gun being fired?" Another great line by Black, while insulting Hollywood, comes towards the end when Harry says "Don't worry, I saw Lord of the Rings. I'm not going to end this 17 times."

For the adventurous type, Solid Rock Climbing Gym in San Marcos is the place, .because it's indoors, so even if it's raining outside, one can still be active without getting drenched. If water is your thing, but cold, windy weather isn't, then gyms with indoor pools, like YMCA or L. A Fitness, may meet your satisfaction. If you're looking to add a little more punch to your day, Dave and Busters is an exciting restaurant with a shooting arcade equipped with service call that would make anyone forget about the stormy weather outside. Spend your time eating yummy food like Philly cheese steak sandwiches, and nachos while playing simulated golf, baseball, basketball, surfing and any other activity that is typically meant for outdoor recreation. If the mere fact of going outside to drive to any of these places is a turn off, then stock up now on activities that keep you busy in the comfort of your home. First off, to take advantage of a day indoors, have a comfy pair of pajamas on hand. Movies are a great place to start, thanks to places like Blockbuster who, for a small monthly fee, allows unlimited movie rentals so you don't have to worry about late fees. Sometimes being cooped up indoors allows one to discover his or her creative side. Make sure to have plenty of paint, brushes, an art book and you just might find your inner artist. Bad weather also makes for a great excuse to get organized. Go through old pictures that were stuffed under the bed and make a scrapbook, look around your home for spare buttons, ribbon, colored paper and have at it. When the weathers cold and rainy, sometimes it's just nice to curl up next to the fireplace with a good book and escape mentally. The fact is, just because the weather may hinder outdoor hobbies, doesn't mean you can't enjoy the day. Give yourself a day to catch up on some long lost hobbies or take a much needed nap from the stress of everyday life. Just like squirrels stock up on nuts for the long winter ahead, start accumulating things that will keep you busy indoors while the weather keeps you from the outdoors. c iliS! "Wal-Mart: T he High Cost of Low Price' BY MELISSA BAIRD Pride Staff Writer The documentary "WAL*MART: The High Cost of Low Price" reveals thefinancialdestruction of having a corporation in the neighborhood. Created by Robert Greenwald, the Wal-Mart film travels through the United States, talking with small business owners who are now out of business. The story of Wal-Mart's impact is similar across the .country: Family-owned businesses can't compete with Wal-Mart's low prices. Though small businesses provide better wages, healthcare, and vacation time than Wal-Mart corporations, the cheap price of the corporation's merchandise ultimately attracts the most customers. As the supercenter steals shoppers away from smaller stores, those stores go out of business. In Middlefield, Ohio H&H Hardware founder Don Hunter tells how his little country store was overtaken by a Wal-Mart. In Hearne, Texas the town is described as looking hit by a neutron bomb, due to the now empty buildings and desolate streets. Cathedral City, California is short on police officers and fire fighters, due to city subsidies given to a new Wal-Mart. "I've seen a lot of companies crucified just because of one entity...commissioners do nothing but lay down the red carpet for Wal-Mart," said Hunter. Another man likens Wal-Mart to a Chinese company with American Board members. One person calls the store a monopoly that is going on a rampage through the American economy. At one point during the film, booklets entitled "How Wal-Mart is destroying the World" are distributed in Hunter's store. In China, Wal-Mart factory workers are paid less than three dollars a day. They are instructed to lie to inspectors about hours worked and the cleanliness of the factory. If the workers tell the truth about their mistreatment, their employers fire them. The factories in China have no air conditioning. One girl, referred to as "Princess" says she sits in her own sweat the entire day because her boss won't allow her to have a fan. At Wal-Mart factories in Bangladesh, workers are paid between 13 and 17 cents per hour. One woman brushes her teeth using her finger and ash from the fire. She does this because she can't afford a toothbrush or toothpaste with the wages she receives from working at the factory. Such instances explain why Wal-Mart can afford its 'everyday low prices', complete with a personified yellow blob. Lee Scott, CEO of Wal-Mart, calls the company "career and family-orientated" and "vital to the community". At the same time, Wal-Mart employees talk of working off the clock, unaffordable healthcare, and not having enough money for food. Wal-Mart is facing legal battles in three states regarding wage and hour abuses. Managers have reportedly BY LIZZ OSBORNE Pride Staff Writer Image courtesy ofwww.walmartmovie.com gone into computers under false IDs and moved workers' overtime hours to the following week's check. One employee has to choose between buying food and buying medicine when her children are ill, because she can't afford the health plan Wal-Mart offers. Another man gets in trouble for offering co-workers money to buy lunch when he sees they aren't eating during lunch breaks. Wal-mart encourages its employees to seek help from the government, via Welfare or Medicaid, instead of paying for healthcare with company money. A male employee explains, "You go to work knowing you aren't making enough money to make it, and yet you gotta fake it and put a smile on your face." In addition to financial lawsuits, Wal-Marts in Texas, Okla., and Mass. were fined for Clean Water Act violations. These stores kept pallets of pesticides and herbicides in their parking lots, where many of the products tore open and leaked onto the asphalt. When it rained, the chemicals washed into nearby rivers-sources of drinking water for many homes in the area. When a river keeper in Bentonville, AR reported environmental violations to Wal-Mart management, they didn't seem to care. Then she got a lawyer. In response to the corporate takeover in his city, Reverend James Lawson said, "It is written in the new testament 'the love of money is the root of all evil.'" He does not approve of the way in which Wal-Mart treats its employees and feels corporate greed is to blame. Lee Scott says a job at Wal-Mart is the path to the American dream. Lee Scott made 27,207,799 dollars last year. The average Wal-Mart employee made 13,861. It seems Scott does not understand the nightmare of minimum wage. Producer/Director Robert Greenwald and Brave New Films are taking viewers on an extraordinary journey that will change the way they think, feel - and shop, as thousands of free screenings of "Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price" debut in households across the nation. Have you ever wondered how the low cost of purchasing your underwear at Wal-Mart affects individual workers, consumers, small business owners and communities across the nation, and the entire world? If so, I highly recommend watching this movie. Although one-sided, Greenwald sheds light on how retail giant Wal-Mart mistreats employees, lowers property values, puts small businesses out of business, exploits factory workers over seas, fails to provide secure parking areas, pollutes the environment and picks up perks and subsidies all in the name of making a quick profit. In all fairness, Wal-Mart is not the only major organization guilty of the violations highlighted in this film, but it is certainly a grand example of a recent global trend of excessive greed in the name of fair-market value. This point is made quite clear near the beginning as the film centers on a series of shots of abandoned Main Streets, empty store after empty store, with Bruce Springsteen's version of "This Land Is Your Land." From there, it only gets worse. In China, a young factory employee talks about working conditions. "I'm sitting there, dripping with sweat all day long," she says. Employees in China say they are housed in dismal dormitories; they may choose to live elsewhere, but still have to pay the dorm rent. In a recent press release, when asked why he decided to make this film, Greenwald states, "A neighbor of mine, who had some health issues, was hired at Wal-Mart. As we were talking about it, I expressed my relief that he would now have health insurance. He replied that no, unfortunately the coverage offered at Wal-Mart was so expensive and had so many requirements; he couldn't afford it and might not qualify even if he could pay. He let me know that the really nice managers at the store had told him how to apply for state-subsidized health coverage available to low-income residents of California, paid for by tax dollars. Impossible, I thought. No way was a corporation the size of Wal-Mart using public programs for its employees, and so I started to research, read and investigate. The more I learned, the larger the scope of the Wal-Mart story became. And the bigger and more complex the story became, the more clear it was that the only way to tell this story was to go small, human and deeply personal." I agree with his tactics, and indeed found the movie to be human, deeply personal, and even downright disturbing at times. So much so, in fact, I will not even stop at Wal-Mart to browse, despite my natural inclination as a starving student to-go after bargains whenever possible.
