March 4th teach-in and rally spark motive for change
BY BEN ROFFEE & SANDRA
CHALMERS
Mar. 4-Four distinguished
members of CSUSM's faculty
convened in Academic Hall 102
today for a teach-in to speak out
against the stripping of funding
for California's Higher Education programs. Coinciding with
the statewide "day of action," an
eclectic panel of professors from
a multitude of academic fields
offered their critiques of the CSU
and UC systems and offered solutions based on their respective
fields of study.
Many students were forced to
stand in the back or sit on stairs
and in passageways as the room
was filled to capacity. Organizers simulcasted the teach-in live
to dozens of locations on campus
and over the internet, reaching
hundreds more who had class or
were otherwise unable to make it
to the event.
First to speak was Dr. Ranjeeta Basu, professor of Economics, shedding light on the effects
of cuts to public education as
they relate to the economic wel-

fare of the state. Like an investment, said Dr. Basu, public education is capable of garnering
valuable benefits for the public if
the public chooses to assume the
responsibility of paying for it.
According to Dr. Basu, "as a
college student, when you graduate, you accrue a personal rate
of return, which currently in
the U.S. is about 15%. So you
are making an extremely good
investment by being here because
that 15% is much higher than any
investment you could make anywhere else."
"There is also a social rate of
return-this is only looking at
what the state gets back from
education-and that is about 9%,
which means that even for the
government, for the state, its a
very good investment to invest
in education as opposed to other
areas."
Dr. Scott Greenwood, a professor in the Political Science
and Global Studies departments,
assessed the political implications in California of the budget
crisis in its public higher education programs. At the core of this

issue, said Dr. Greenwood, is the
dependency of the CSU and UC
systems on a volatile tax base
bound to unpredictable economic
forces.
According to Dr. Greenwood,
"Ideally what we want to is try to
find a way to stabilize the revenue source, not just for the general
fund but also for public education. One possible solution is this
bill [A.B. 656] that's going to tax

would provide a nice permanent

after? the March 10 announcement of the Computer Compe-
tency Requirement's elimination.
The CCR was formerly a
graduation requirement for
CSUSM undergraduates unless
an approved computing course
satisfied the requirement. It then
moved to being mandatory for all
students to pass before graduating.
As per an expired campus
mandate, undergraduates must
complete a three-part exam consisting of displayed proficiency
in Microsoft Word, Microsoft
Excel, Viruses, and ethics associated with software and the Internet.
The decision to eliminate the
requirement, originated from a
recommendation by the Aca-
demic Senate, according to the
Office of the Provost and Vice
President for Affairs.
Should students still feel the
need to educate themselves on
content necessary for computer
competency, it is recommended
they enroll in CS 100. The course
provides a brief overview of computing and focuses on the same
topics covered in the CCR.
"The Student Technology Help
Desk (STH) also provides support and training for students,"
the announcement said. The Student Help Desk is located on the
second floor of Kellogg Library.
The staff is well-versed in a variety of applications for both PC
and Mac.

O ur community shines in dark times
BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
The
inconveniences and f rustrations of f urloughs
and bad budgets has
stretched the f iber of
our school, and the
recent g raffiti inciting hate created even
more disappointment. But the
student and s taff response has
been very encouraging.
The rally against the pay
cuts, f urloughs, enrollment
caps, and other problems we
face because of the budget
cuts on March 4 was an inspiring event. I was skeptical of
how much of an e ffect a rally
and teach-in would have, but
the climate on campus that day
was h opeful. I was glad to see
so many people come together
because it is easy to forget this
problem is bigger
than one individual
is.
However, what
impressed me the
most was the protest organized by
many student organizations against
hate crimes and discrimination. The
words scribed on the wall of
our campus were ignorant and
upsetting, but I do not want to
draw attention to that.
It is a shame that this happened, that someone felt
strongly enough to do that.
But out of this dark moment,
it was emotionally moving
to see the student body come
together. Our community did
not respond with anger or a
backlash, but with unity and
support.
It would be nice if we could
take these problems away. But
since we live in the real world,
we have to deal with them.
There is no longer a need to
be discouraged or hopeless
in these situations. We have
already proved we can come
together and do something
unexpected.
Now is the time to keep

source of revenue for public education and
we wouldn't have to worry about this up
and down that we have been experiencing."
From the Sociology department, Dr.
Sharon Elise discussed public education
in California as it relates to race, gender,
and class issues. Against the backdrop of
recent racist events on campus, Dr. Elise
took aim at what she described a system of
"entitlement" that has emerged in California's higher education. "There has always
been something particularly threatening
about educated people of color, something
threatening to the status quo of race and
property distribution in the United States,"
said Dr. Elise.
"The provision of free public higher education is fundamental to creating social justice and equity, and so it is also central to
the fight against racial injustice."
Dr. John Halcon from the Department
of Education gave his opinion on some
of the structural shortcomings California's approach to public higher education. Remarking on the theory of "deliverology" and the CSU's "Master Plan, Dr.
Halcon said, "I believe that when higher
education becomes a privilege, only
the privileged will afford higher education. Deliverology is top-down management and anti-democratic."
"In my opinion, we can expect that Deliverology will change future graduates from
that of well-rounded articulate thinking to
competent technicians capable of following orders but fundamentally incapable of
thinking for themselves," added Dr. Halcon
Rally at Library Plaza
Last Thursday began a nation wide protest against education budget cuts that have
left campuses frustrated and demanding a
change.
CSUSM held a teach-in rally that
allowed for students, faculty, and staff to
voice their feelings and struggles on how
the budget cuts have affected them.
In the academic year of fall 2009 - spring
2010 students have experienced tuition
hikes, furlough days for faculty and staff,
fewer classes to choose from and a cap on
the amount of units that may be taken per
semester. These changes have crippled our
campus, leaving students, faculty and staff
aggravated, but motivated to implement
change.
Students are paying more for tuition and
student services but are receiving less than
in years before. Furlough days have taken
10 percent of student's education, by representing the 10 percent pay cuts that faculty are enduring. Although students are
receiving less education they are spending
more in tuition than in 2008 when no furloughs were in practice.
The rally called for all who are disgruntled to gather together to respond in protest to the current situation. Many student
clubs and organizations responded by supporting the rally with hand made signs that
shared their feelings of misfortune with
the education system.
The political science club held a "poster
making party" that encouraged students to
bring markers and other decorative items
in preparation for the rally. The student
organization also created an event page
on facebook concerning the rally. " Tell
your friends, classmates, and people in
your community! Everyone needs to know
that CSUSM is participating in this call
to action for public education," said in the
description of the event.
This sort of buzz and excitement for the
rally and teach-in event was easily generated and passed on to students and faculty
members and united them by creating this
event as a outlet for expression as well as a
movement for change.

On March 3, 2010, University Police
responded to a call that vandalism, a
derogatory message targeting multiple
minority groups, had occurred in the
women's restroom in Markstein Hall.
This would be the first of five Hate
Crimes reported on campus within a

The vandalized bathroom stall featured a graffiti message about seven

staff and students of the event early the
next day in a campus wide email. "I
will not tolerate any attempts to intimidate or threaten our University community," wrote President Haynes. Despite

a safe 5-0 lead in the third inning
thanks to a big two-out rally. With
nobody on, Kyle Secciani drew a
walk, Matt Jenkins ripped a single
off thefirstbaseman's glove down
therightfieldline, and red-hot Kevin
Silvett drove in the first run with
a base hit Josh Miller was then
hit by a pitch, loading the bases for
Ryle Parks, who delivered a huge
two-RBI double. Johnny Omahen
then hit a ball to second which was
booted and subsequently thrown
away, allowing Paries and Miller to
score to make it 5-0.
With Travis McCracken on the
mound, the game felt like it was over,
but Illinois Tech responded well
McCracken ran into trouble in the
fourth, due in part to his own error
and a seeing-eye swinging bunt single
- surrendering four runs and leaving
with the bases loaded and one out
Hard-throwingrelieverKyle Smart
was called on to put out the fire, and
he did so brilliantly, striking out two
batters to close out the frame.
With CSUSM up 5-4, each team
threatened to score, but neither could
push any more runs across. Ricky
Chavarria did an excellent job on
the mound for the Cougars, working
the final three innings and allowing
just one hit He picked up the wellearned save, with Smart getting the
win.
Game two would feature no such
drama, as CSUSM took a commanding 6-0 lead in the bottom of
thefirstbefore recording a single out
Secciani drew a leadoff walk, and
Ricardo Moran and Silvett recorded
back-to-back doubles to make it 2-0.
After a walk to Miller and single b y.
Parks to load the bases, Steve Harris
unloaded on a no-doubt-about-it
grand slam torightcenter.
The hit parade would continue in
the second, as Silvett blasted a tworun homer, and Miller followed with
a solo shot of his own to make it 9-0.
Meanwhile, Brett Miller was
in complete control on the mound
for CSUSM. He worked four easy
innings, striking out six while allowingjust two hits and a walk. The win
improves him to 2-0 this season.
Secciani singled in a run in the
fourth to make it 10-0; and in the

Sandberg, Dronenburg, Villalpando lead Softball to Sweep of Biola
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
On Saturday at CSUSM Softball
Field, Brenna Sandberg's pitching
and Alyssa Dronenburg's hitting led
Cougar softball in game one to a 3-1
victory over Biola University, and
Kimi Villalpando's 4 RBI propelled
the squad to a come-fiom-behind 6-4
win in game two.
The sweep improves #20-ranked
CSUSM to 12-6 this season. Biola
M s to 12-10.
It's a pair ofbig wins over a quality
opponentforthe Cougars, who, aside
from a lapse in the second inning of
game two, looked very good on the
day.
Game one was dominated by
Sandberg, who through six innings
had allowed just one baserunner. She
ended up going the distance, striking
out ten batters while surrendering just
one unearned run on two hits and one
walk to pick up her 10th win of the
season.
The offense came from Dronenburg, who led off thefourthinning
by lacing a ball over the fence in rightcenter to put her team up 1-0. It's her
team-leading sixth home run of the
season.
From there, CSUSM would pick
up an insurance run in the fifth, with
Elizabeth Bush scoring on a wild
pitchfollowinga base hit and an
Alicia Ingram double. The Cougars
would tack on another in the sixth,
with red-hot Erica Coelho leading off
with a single, advancing to third on
a Ciera Ashman double, and scoring
on a solid Shanti Poston single up the
middle.
The 3-1 margin would hold, as
Sandberg worked through a little
trouble in the seventh to preserve the
victory.
Game two would require some
perseverance, but the Cougars rose to
the challenge. Biola played small ball
in the second, taking advantage of a
Cougar defense that committed three
errors and made some questionable
decisions to take an early 4-0 lead
But CSUSM responded immediately, cutting it to 4-3 in the bottom of
the frame as Villalpando delivered a
big two-RBI single that plated Coelho
and Ashman, and Ingram then singled in Villalpando.
And in the third, the Cougars
would take theirfirstlead of the contest Coelho continued to mash the
ball, doubling to lead off the inning.
Ashman drew a walk, and a base
hit by Poston loaded the bases. That
brought up Villalpando again, and
once again she knocked a two-RBI
single right up the middle to give
CSUSM a 5-4 lead
That score would hold for most of
the contest, as Sandbergrightedthe
ship on the mound and the defense
settled in. In the bottom of the sixth,
Lauren Nelson drilled a solo home
run to push the lead to 6-4. Sandberg
would finish it off; as Poston made
a nice leaping catch at shortstop to
record the game's final out
Sandberg improves to an impressive 11-3 on the season.
CSUSM will be back at home on
Saturday to host Bethany University
for a double-header starting at noon.
Track & Field competes at Point Loma Invitational
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
A day after the Cougar distance
runners competed at the Occidental
Distance Carnival, the rest of the
team participated in the Point Loma
Invitational, hosted by Point Loma
Nazarene on Saturday.
And for the second straight day,
plenty of Cougar athletes punched
their tickets to Nationals.
On the women's side, the 4x100-
meter relay team earned the "A"
standard, guaranteeing them a spot
at Nationals. The team of Aimee
Rassavong, Krystle Osby, Mary
Spinharrey, and Monika Valenzuela posted a time of48.48 seconds,
good for second place at the meet.
The 4x400-meter team got the
"A" standard as well. Lucia Asbury,
Tiffany West, Osby, and Valenzuela won the event with a time of
3:54.28.
Valenzuela also met the "B" standard in the individual 400-meter
dash, running 57.67 seconds to win
the event.
In the field, Andrea Talhami
earned the "A" standard in the
triple jump with a distance of 11.48
meters. She finished in second
place.
On the men's side, the 4x100meter relay team earned the "A"
standard and won the race. The
team of Thomas McDougal,
Anthony Harbour, Nicholas Stein,
and Nicholas Henderson posted a
time of 41.78 seconds. That same
team also met the "B" standard in
the 4x400-meter relay, winning the
race with a time of 3:17.73.

�Surf team competes at state championships
Team members advance toward national title
BY MALLANE DRESSEL
Pride Staff Writer
The CSUSM Surf Team competed in the NSSA Interscholastic State Championships on
March 5-7 at Huntington Pier,
and placed 8 among the other
21 competing teams.
Huntington Beach offered the
competitors decent weather, and
2-4 foot surf on Friday and Saturday. Then on Sunday for the
final rounds, the wind increased
to bring the surf up to a peaky
th
5 feet, and made the surf somewhat inconsistent. SDSU was
a dominant force that crushed
the rest of their competitors in
the finals leaving their score at
162. The runner-up UCSB only
scored 132.
The surfers competing are
judged on their best two waves
in a given heat of only 15 minutes, so concentration and correct wave choice are key to
advancing. Unfortunately luck
can be a variable as well.
The team didn't fair well in
round one. Kailtin Maguire and
Mick Rogers were the last surfers on the team competing on
Sunday in the semi-finals for
the long board division. The
long board division is co-ed, and
Maguire is the only woman who
has been able to break into the
final round in previous events.
Her rank right now for the conference is 17th with only competing in 3 out of 4 events.
Mick Rogers is ranked 6th
after competing in all four
events. He said, "I started off
the event on a positive note,
managing to string together a
couple of good turns with some
nose rides, but on Sunday, due to
crappy waves and not performing the best, I couldn't really put
it all together."
Rogers said that the benefits
of being part of the CSUSM
surf team are, "To be part of a
team, with people that all share
similar interests." He said he
enjoys "The rivalry of competing against other universities up
and down the California coast."
Both Rogers and Maguire see
surfing as something they can
enjoy easily while still making
time for school. Maguire said
"School is a once in a iifetime
opportunity, and you can't really
Photo by Mike Rogers rely on surfing to support you in
the future. These days it seems
that even the best of the pros are
struggling to make a life out of
surfing." The team represents
the school in competitions, but
also allows these individuals to
be able to do what they enjoy
while still planning for their
future.
Even though the other team
members didn't advance into
final rounds, the experience of
competing will be useful to prepare them for the NSSA National
Championships in June, where
they will defend their title. Last
year, the team won their first
National Title for the school in
Photo by Mike Rogers
a tiebreaker finish against west
coast school UNCW.
Scott McBride, who took 4th
place in the men's short board
division at last year's National
Championships, will be returning. For women's short boarding,
the team has Alexa Thornton,
who is ranked a promising 7th
out of 63 other competitors. Last
year she finished 6th when competing at the high school level.
Laura Thatcher and Summer
Meyer are contenders as well,
ranking in the top 25. The team
also has the assistance of their
veteran advisor Amber Puha to
help them capture the title again.

M an arrested in connection with
d isappearance of local teenage girl
BY BEN ROFFEE
News Editor
The search for Chelsea
King, a local high school
girl that disappeared last
week, will resume this week
despite treatment of the case
by local law enforcement as a
homicide. King, a 17 year-old
Poway resident, disappeared
while on a run at Rancho
Bernardo Park near Lake Hodges
Thursday evening. Authorities
have already identified a
suspect in connection with
King's
disappearance.
According to Bill Gore of the
San Diego County Sheriffs
Department, officers apprhended
John Albert Gardner III Sunday
afternoon outside of Hernandez
Hide-A-Way, a restaurant in the
small Lake Hodges community
known as Del Dios. Gardner,
a 30 year-old registered sex
offender, now faces charges of
first-degree murder and rape by
force.
At a press conference last
evening, Sheriff Gore said,
"evidence was discovered to
link Gardner to Ms. King in
such a manner as to warrant his
arrest." Though the Sheriffs
department would not elaborate,
physical evidence linking
Gardener to the crime has been
found in the area where Chelsea
King disappeared.
Chelsea's mother, Kelly King,
told reporters on Monday that
investigators identified Gardner's

Gardner's previous criminal
history includes a guilty plea
to multiple counts of forcible
lewd acts with a child and false
imprisonment, landing him
a six year prison sentence in

insist they may still be able
to implicate Gardner without
locating the victim. Paul
Levikow from the San Diego
County District Attorney's office
said, "There are murder cases
that get tried without a body.
There is one going on now."
Parents Brent and Kelly King
insist they will continue to search
fortheir daughter, aided by friends
and volunteers from around the
community. Those involved in
the search have relied heavily
on social networking sites like

Facebook and Twitter to spread
up to date information. Those
interested in volunteering can go
to Chelsea King Search Center
located at 11858 Bernardo Plaza
Court. More information on
search efforts can also be found

tive roles because they have each
won the award previously. It
will come down to if the Academy wants to award Gabourey
Sidibe, for her breakout role in
"Precious," Carey Mulligan, for a
well-rounded performance in the
coming-of age story "An Education," or Sandra Bullock, for
her years of work in Hollywood
leading up to her performance in
"The Blind Side."
But the big winner is going
to be "The Hurt Locker." This
summer indie film passed more
people by, but it is cleaning up
at other award ceremonies. Not
only will it win for its screenplay,
editing, cinematography, and
sound, but 1 guarantee it will win
Best Picture and Director. I doubt
the other likelyfilm,James Cameron's "Avatar," will top Kathryn Bigelow's story of the bomb
squad in Iraq. Despite the predictability of the awards, I hope
it will be a fun show to celebrate
my favorite medium.

The two races differ in both
their length and where they are
run. "The 5k, which is I think a
3.1 mile course, goes around the
campus. It's mostly on campus
and circles all around the campus
and the start and finish will be
on the track. It's an amazing
event, 5k is a great distance; you
can either walk, jog or run.
"The other event is the Ilk.
This one is more challenging. It
will go to the top of the mountain that you see outside the university and there is a park called
double peak. It's mostly on trails
and it's a very big challenge
because there is a lot of elevation
gain so it's a big race for heart

Both the races are due to start
at 8 AM. However, the students
running in the 11km race will be
released in a series of waves and

allows faculty, staff, and the outside community to take part.
There is also reason for those

to come to the event. "Everybody can sign up to be a volunteer, also on the website, so
if they don't want to register to

Lighting up at C SUSM
Hazards of social smoking
Every year, hundreds of thousands of deaths are due to smoking related illnesses. Here at California State University of San
Marcos, students who smoke take
up a significant portion of the student population.
In 2005, based on a new state
law, from Title 8 California Code
of Regulations section 5148, has
affected how CSUSM views oncampus smoking. On the CSUSM
campus, there are nine designated
smoking areas for students, faculty, and staff to use. This law
means that at CSUSM smokers can
only smoke in designated areas.
Students can experience many
harmful affects from smoking or
from exposure to second-hand
smqke. Cathy Nguyen, CSUSM's
health educator, said, "There
are many risks associated with
cigarette smoking. According
to The Health Consequences of
Smoking: A Report of the Surgeon General, smoking causes
approximately: 90% of all lung
cancer deaths in men, 80% of all
lung cancer deaths in women,
and 90% of deaths from chronic
obstructive lung disease.
"The adverse health effects
from cigarettes smoking accounts
for an estimate of nearly one
of every five deaths or 443,000
deaths in year in the US. Besides
lung cancer and an increase in
coronary heart disease," Nguyen
said, "smoking can cause respiratory diseases such as emphysema,
bronchitis, and chronic airway
obstruction."
All of these health risks associated with smoking could affect
any student here at CSUSM,
whether lighting up or from exposure to second-hand smoke.
Another factor as to why students light up deals students who
socially smoke with peers. Nguyen
also provided information about
CSUSM and the students that are
lighting up. She said, "According
to the National College Health
Association results from a survey
that was administered to CSUSM
students in the Spring of 2009,
64% of our student population
does not smoke and has never
smoked a cigarette. Of the 36%
of students that have used cigarettes, only 15% of that group has
smoked a cigarette within the last
30 days."
This data shows that over half
the student population is not lighting up. According to data only, the
social aspect of smoking does not
necessarily affect CSUSM students.
With less than half of the student population smoking at
CSUSM, it is important to understand how some of student body
sees smoking on campus.
Chris Rahn, CSUSM Student,
said, "The designated smoke areas
on campus aren't strategically
placed. Every day I walk by smok-
ers to and from my classes and
car. As a student here at CSUSM
I wish I did not have to be around
smoking on such a regular basis."
Another student, Tiffany
Walker, had a different opinion. Walker said, "Smoking on
campus doesn't bother me. As
long as students are smoking outside, they can do as they please. If
I really had a problem with smok-

"Anybody in this country should
have a right to talk, or then we
can't really say that we live in a

I'll be showing my support."
"I totally agree with it. I'm
totally okay with professors

people who are about to go into
the workforce, to see that, to see
that you do have options, and
people can make a lot happen if
they get together and organize

"I think it will bring a lot of
awareness to the situation. I'm
pretty sure [teachers] aren't
allowed to talk about it, or
they're not supposed to be giving
their opinions [about] the matter.
I understand that the teachers
have lots of stressful things; they
have to do research and maintain
the classes that they teach.
They have a lot of work to do. I
understand that."
"I think it's important for the
teachers to have their time to
have what they need to say
and I think it's a good idea that
they stream it in class to get

Blaring tunes, CSUSM college radio hits airwaves
BY SANDRA CHALMERS
Editor-in-Chief
Roaring into our twenties,
CSUSM has upgraded into the
twenty f irst century and introduced its first radio station.
Taking a closer look at
CSUSM's first radio station
and the students inside the
studio and on the airwaves,
Thi Pride got the privilege of
having a Q&A with the maker
behind CSUSM College Radio.
V=The Pride
RV= Rosario Vizcaino,
President of CSUSM College
Radio.
P: whose idèa was it to start a
college radiò station?
RV: "I started CSUSM College Radio in the fall of 2008
with the help of my classmate
Ryan Mcelroy. It initially
started as an idea for a class
project, which unfortunately
was dropped by our professor
and a few classmates because
it wouldn't meet the requirements for the assigned project
at that time."
i*It wasn't over for me
just yet I knew there was no on my server and immediately
CSUSM radio station and setup a
media
that we would be the first students to come up with it."
P: How did the project evolve
and get developed?
RV: I recruited my classmate Ryan Mcelroy, who is one
of the founders and the current treasurer of CSUSM College Radio. We immediately
went forward with the process of forming a club, which
was finalized at the end of
November in 2008.
With the minimal
support we initially had,
I had then
decided
that col1ege
r adio
w ould
happen no
matter what.
P: How did
you start a radio station from
scratch?
RV: "I acquired the domain
name and created a web page
for the radio station. I hosted it
s treaming service. With
the
help of Ryan, I made a simple
design that would be easy to
use and yet it would be robust.
We tested it and loved it."
"With no expectations of the
outcome, we then went over to
Student Life and Leadership on
campus and made a live demo
which generated an immediate
positive chain reaction. We had
created the first CSUSM college radio, which by the way it
has been granted full status as
an organized club on campus
as of February of 2010."
"Yes we are new and we
plan to be here for a long
time!"
P: What is your
m ission
statement?
RV:
"By the
s tudents
for the
students!"
P: What
type of radio
s t a - tion would you
consider yourself?
RV: "CSUSM College Radio
was founded with a purpose in
mind and that is to encourage
and promote cultural diversity
on campus. So send us your
request and if you feel you have
the courage to talk on the radio
email us collegeradio@csusm.
info."
P: How can students listen in
and interact with college radio?
RV: "Please go to www.
csusm.info and send us your
request through our contact
page. You can chat with us or
simply call us at (760) 6704131."
P: What does college radio
strive for in the future? What
will become of college radio?
RV: "College Radio is here
to stay."
P: What are unique projects
will our college radio host?
RV: "We will cover news,
sports, current events and your
favorite music."
CSUSM College Radio primarily runs through online
streaming, their interactive
website offers video shows of
the most recent student organization fair and they are eager
to begin offering footage and
live radio casting from sporting events.
Baseball team hits homerun season for C SUSM
BY KATRINA KISTLER
Pride Staff Writer.
Here at CSUSM, the baseball
team is up to bat and gives our
small athletic department a big
name.
The CSUSM baseball team
has started out their season
with eight wins,fivelosses, and
one tie. This season has proved
to be difficult, but the cougars
have stood strong.
"There have been a lot of injuries this season, but the players
and team have exceeded my
expectations while dealing with
a tough schedule," said baseball
coach Dennis Pugh.
The CSUSM baseball team
rested these past two weeks and
now is looking forward to an
away game against Chapman
University on March 5 at 2:00
PM. The following game will
be March 6 playing Chapman
again with home field advantage at 2:00 PM. located at
Escondido High School.
"A lot of people don't know
about CSUSM's baseball team.
We love our fans, but we would
love it if even more CSUSM
students and fans could make
it to pur games," said Eric Juliennif a current Senior.
With the new Softball field
built for the 2010 season, athletics on campus have gained support from stúdents/staff/fácülty.
Now, the baseball team awaits
their turn for a home field here
on campus. Even with their
home fields spread out around
San Diego at Escondido High
School, Poway High School,
and Point Loma, the team's
season thus far has shown a
great amount of success and
dedication.
"I think our team should do
pretty well this season though.
Hopefully, we can make it to
playoffs and win," continued
Julienne.
On March 9, the cougars will
be playing a double header
facing Illinois Tech at 11:00
AM and at 6:00 PM at Escondido High School. The next two
days the Cougars play Illinois
Tech again on March 10 at 6:00
PM and on March 11 at 6:00
PM located at Escondido High
School. Cougars then play Concordia at Poway High School at
6:00 PM on March 16. This will
be a tough game for the Cougars, but hope to pull out a win
against Concordia. The cougars
finish up that busy two weeks
playing Vanguard on March
spencer Pardon is on the left and Eric Julieene is on the right.
16 at 6:00 PM at Poway High
School. With these next two
busy and tough weeks, CSUSM
cougars are looking to come out
with some wins.
The players this season have
high expectations for suc-
i ^ M w l M ^ ^ É w j ^ wbSM i§i®
cess this year. Junior, Spencer
Pardon said, "In the season so
far, we have been doing pretty
well. We had a tough game
against Cal Baptist, but are
looking forward to a strong rest
of the season."

use of camera angles create the

If you are the kind of person
that likes movies that make you
'jump out of your seat' then this
one is for you, countless scenes
can make the viewer leave their
chair. So if you know your partner is a bit 'jumpy' then take
them to see this, they'll be holding on to you for support all the
way through. However, for me
some of the scenes became a
little predictable, as it was clear
towards the end that the 'jump
out of your chair' moment was
coming, and as a result I wasn't
surprised when it did.
I felt that the characters were
quite believable for most of the

his character quite well. Not

FIRST
INDEPENDENT STUDENT NEWSPAPER
CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY SAN MARCOS
w ww.thecsusmpride.com
BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
Editor-in-Chief
Almost one month has passed
since anyone last saw Escondido
teen, Amber Dubois, but her face
is a constant fixture throughout
North County as search efforts to
find her are still going strong. This
past weekend, volunteer searches
continued at the search and rescue
headquarters located in an abandoned Escondido warehouse
donated to the Dubois by a concerned citizen.
"We had a 7,500 square foot
building donated to us. We're
doing all of our work out of here,"
Amber's father, Maurine Dubois
said in an NBC San Diego report
on Saturday. "We have a separate
mapping room where things are
coordinated. It's much easier than
trying to work out of a small trailer
in a parking lot."
The command center is located
at 755 N. Quince Street in Escondido, CA and remains open from
8 a.m. to 5 p.m. everyday until
Amber's return.
Hundreds of volunteers assisted
over the weekend in the second
large-scale search effort conducted
since Amber's disappearance.
The fourteen-year-old Escondido High School student was
walking to school on Friday, February 13,2009 on North Broadway
in Escondido. Two family friends
reported seeing Amber a mere 300
yards from the school's gate at 7:10
a.m. Amber was carrying a handful of Valentine's Day gifts to give
to her friends. Hours lajter, school
officials called Amber's family to
report that she had not shown up
for her classes.
"I will have continuous, 100percent hope until you completely
prove it to me, there's a reason not
to," Maurice Dubois said during a
press conference. "I will never give
up hope. Amber, if you're out there,
you can guarantee I will never stop
until we have found you and you're
back home with us."
On Feb. 28, Amber's story
appeared on the popular American
crime stoppers show, "America's
MostWanted."
The Escondido Police Department reported that exposure on the
show helped generate tips.
The Klass Kids Foundation is
now involved in the search effort

as well. Marc Klass, the program
founder, is the father of Polly
Klass, who was kidnapped from
her home during a slumber party
and murdered in 1993.
"The family has to keep the hope
alive. They have to be the ones that
are going to inspire others to go
out and look for their child. If the
family gives up, everybody gives
up," Klass said, NBC reported.
The Dubois family recently
increased their reward offering to
$60,000, with $50,000 for information leading to their daughter's
safe return and $10,000 for information leading to the arrest of the
person or persons responsible for
her disappearance.
Anonymous individuals and
businesses donated the reward
money to the family.
"[The family] wants to get Amber
home alive, therefore the majority
of money has been allocated to that
end," Klass told reporters at a news
conference outside Escondido High
School on March 4, according to the
SanDiegoUnionTribune. "Butthey
also understand that there might be
darker scenarios and that that might
not be possible."
Both Klass and Brenda van Dam,
whose daughter Danielle van Dam
was kidnapped and murdered seven
years ago, are said to be helping the
Dubois family with search efforts.
"I know this community has
come together once before to help
our family find closure," said
Brenda van Dam, reported by the
North County Times. "I'm asking
that you please do it again for this
family."
Though police say there is no evidence to suggest Amber was kidnapped, her parents and family attest
that Amber was not the type to go
anywhere without contacting them,
telling the North County Times that
for her to run away would be "completely out of character."
In fact, Amber was looking forward to bringing home a lamb
she planned to raise as part of her
school's Future Famer's Association
project on the day she disappeared.
"She would not have given up
that lamb for anything," Amber's
mother, Carrie McGonigle said,
according to CNN. "She's a wholesome kid. She doesn't run amok
like most teenagers. She did not
run away, I guarantee it."
In addition to police efforts, the
family hired private investigator,
Bill Garcia.
According to Garcia and Escondido police, Amber's phone was
last on for a few seconds on Feb.
14,2009 when someone turned the
phone on in an attempt to access
the voicemail and then shut off the
phone. The phone was not on long
enough for police to determine its
location. Amber sent her grandmother several text messages and
one to a friend before she left for
school the morning of her disappearance.
Police and search efforts so far
yielded little leads.
On Feb. 20, Amber's family
held a candlelight vigil in front
of Escondido High. The North
County Times reported approximately 200 people attended the
vigil wearing t-shirts with Amber's
name and picture on them.
At the vigil, Taylor Doyle, a lifelong Mend of Amber's, told the
North County Times, "Amber's not
the type to not go to school."
Another friend of Amber's in
attendance at the vigil was Hailey
Kosinski. Kosinski described her
friend to CNN as someone who
is "sort of shy when youfirstmeet
her, but once you get to now her,
she's the kindest person you'll ever
meet."
"It's the most horrible, gutwrenching feeling to know your
friend is out there and there's nothing you can do tf help her," Kosinski said. "You feel so powerless."
The family has put together a
website, wwwlbringamberhome.
com, that features up-to-date information related to the case, hotline/
contact information, and downloadable search flyers.
On the website, the family also
thanks those involved in the rescue
effort.
"We cannot express enough our
heartfelt gratitude to every individual, church, religious organizations, and searchers holding a
good thought and keeping Amber
and her safe return to her family in
their prayers."
"Thank you for helping to break
through the darkness by being one
of the lights that will bring our
Amber home."
"We cannot bear the thought of
life without her."

gist).
If you
see
me on
c ampus,
ask me, it's quite the
tale.
So let's just say
that you do decide
to go through with
a
schmorgasbord
of food and sex, at least make
it romantic as opposed to a pig
out session. Just remember to
keep in mind that the food does
not come first and it shouldn't
be the main driving factor to
involve food in your sexual
experiences.
Although it does sound amazing to eat bacon and donuts off
your lover (yes, you know I'm
talking to you, you manly Soviet
man), make sure that that's not
the only reason as to why you're
doing that. Because chances
are, if that's all you want out of
this experience, you're probably
going to get punched in the face
and I'm sure that situation can
be easily recreated with a big
packet of bacon, box of donuts,
and a lonely night with a porn
tape (or DVD.. .maybe Blu-Ray,
depending on how realistic you
wish it were). Remember that
sex is still a bond between you
and your partner, not a bond
between you and a 12oz sirloin.
If you do involve food in
some way, make it special and
use food that is sensual. Use
fruit or anything sweet, like
chocolate, please remember
how your body reacts to certain substances/foods. Keep
in mind that couples should
be careful to not introduce any
sugary foods into the vagina
because this could potentially
cause yeast infections, for
example.
If you do decide to pull off
a daring sexual experience,
remember that your partner
comes first (pun intended,
again). So whether it be eating
cereal out of the dimples of your
partner's ass or playing with
some Fruit Roll Up, remember
that it's for passion. Bon(er)
appétit (sorry, immature, I
know)!
THE PRIDE
The pursuit of a good pair of headphones
BY BILLRHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
Anyone who has seen
me walking around
campus will recognize
the fact that I constantly
have some type of headphones attached to my
ears. I cannot j ustify
this behavior other than
to point out that I truly enjoy the
music or podcasts on my iPod.
What I can say is that I have gone
through many pairs of headphones and know a thing or two
about finding a good pair.
I have no bias between ear buds
or headphones for I had many
good sets of both. One could buy
a high-end headset and certainly
be satisfied. But I do not know
many college students who have
room for Bose headphones in
their budget. The pairs I recommend offer great sound quality
and comfort and will not break
the bank.
First of all, if you are listening
to your iPod, the buds it came
with are decent. They are comfortable and offer good quality.
The problem is they are more
fragile than most ear buds. I have
broken several headphones and
many of them were iPod buds.
Thus I will point out several that
are also durable. But the iPod
buds are a good starting point
As an aside, I would quickly
point out that if you have an mp3
player, I would be in shock if it
were not an iPod. Though iPods
are a bit more expensive, you get
your money's worth due to the
fact they are easy to use, have
the best software, iTunes, and are
backed by Apple's service.
A step up from the iPod buds
are the cheap Sony ones that
can be found everywhere
from Long's to Best Buy.
I cannot find what they
are called, but they are
under $10 and are the
blue or red buds that
clip on to the ear.
They may look
cheap, I was even
h esit ant
a bout
buying them, but
they are very comfortable and offer
great sound. The
only time I broke
a pair was when I
stepped on them.
At $10, they are not
a major investment
and will last.
If you prefer headphones, look no further than the Phillips SHS390.
These behind-the-head headphones offer comfort and quality.
They run between $10 and $15 at
most stores and come in either
black or white.
These
will
last
long time as long as
you do not sit on them or yank on
the cord. When it comes to headphones, I like these ones, which
only have one cord coming up to
the ear, rather than the type that
branch into two.
Lastly, if you want DJ, overthe-ear type, get the Jensen
JHF-310 DJ Headphones, if you
can find them. They are the best
headphones I have ever had, but
the makers discontinued t hem/
They can be found for about $20
to $35 online from time to time.
They fold up and have great quality and are super durable.
If those cannot be found, try
Sony MDR-V150 DJ Headphones,
which have the same sound quality, but lack the features of the
Jensen pair and have a really long
cord.
To find a good pair
of headphones,
be sure they are
solid and protected near the
ends of the
cord to avoid
breakage. Try
some that look
c omfortable,
but be sure to
keep the receipt
and do not be
afraid to return them.

C ar accidents
BY SANDRA CHALMERS
Senior Staff Writer
No one ever wants to get into an accident, so what should you do if you find
yourself in one? Here are some helpful
tips for being prepared in an accident.
Staying prepared:
It is California law for drivers to
always carry Proof of Insurance or Proof
of Financial Responsibility, for most
that means having your insurance card
on hand. Make sure to have your insurance agent's contact information as well
as a copy of your insurance policy. In car
accidents it is important to understand
what your auto insurance policy covers,
so you'll know exactly how you are protected. Are you covered if an uninsured
driver hits you? What are your insurance
limits? These are questions you want to
know the answers to before an accident
occurs.
Another way to stay prepared is to have
a car safety kit stored in your car. This
safety kit most likely comes with cones
for directing traffic, a flashlight, and pen
and paper for making notes and exchanging information. It is also wise to have
a camera on hand to photograph any
damage, street signs, and license plates of
any other cars involved.
Keeping emergency telephone numbers, as well as a note of any medical
allergies you may have in the case of
medical assistance is another important
precaution.
When an accident occurs:
If you are in an accident you are
required by law to stop, whether the accident involved a pedestrian, a parked car,
or even property. According to the 2007
State Bar of California, if you do not stop,
you can be charged with a hit-and-run
even if the accident was not your fault.
"The number one thing to do is to
check for any injuries, with yourself, the
other driver, and as well as the car," says
CSUSM's Chief of Police, Ronald Hackenberg. "The first call that needs to be
made is to 911."
If there are any suspected injuries for
T HE PRIDE
How to d eal
either party, notify medical authorities
right away.
"You have to be very aware and alert of
other vehicles coming from behind you,
especially on the highway," says Hackenberg.
If the accident does occur on the highway, Hackenberg suggests moving your
car to a safer location if possible or stand
behind a guardrail for protection until
help arrives. Put out cones to help other
drivers be more aware that an accident
has occurred.
Exchange information with the other
party such as names, phone numbers, and
insurance company information. Take
note of the license plate number, make,
model and year of the other driver's car,
and his/her driver's license number.
Record the time, date and location
of the accident, note street signs, the
weather and exactly how the accident
occurred, and try, if possible, to get witnesses' names and phone numbers as they
may come in handy in trying to piece how
the accident occurred.
When police arrive, note the officer's
badge number and do not admit fault
anything you say could be recorded and
later be used against you, so before taking
the blame consult with your insurer or a
lawyer.
If an accident concerns a parked car
or property damage, you must make an
effort to locate the owner. If you cannot
the law states that you can drive away
only after leaving behind your name,
number, address, and an explanation of
the incident.
After an accident:
Request a copy of the police report of
the accident for your records. When it is
determined who was responsible for the
cause of the accident, compensations may
be made for personal injuries, car damages and even lost wages, all depending on the type of coverage both parties'
insurance policies have. Keep in constant
communication with your insurer and
speak with a lawyer for any legal advice
concerning the accident or making an
insurance claim.

Alex Hoang: My name is Alexander
Hoang and I am your ASI President &
CEO. I'm studying Business Administration /Management. I am an
i nterna- ^ ^ ^
tional traveler that
seeks
to bring people
together ^ ^ K r
through my profesH H P sional & personal
experience. Oh
and I love
my mommy's cooking.
Valdivia: Almost a year ago you were
elected as ASI President. What made
you want to run for this position?
Hoang: From the moment I set foot on
CSUSM, I fell in love with it. I knew this
intimate learning environment would
transform my life, and I wanted to make
a positive impact on At as well. Many
students expressed their personal confidence in my leadership and shared with
me how I helped their lives through my
roles as a resident advisor, an orientation team member, and active member of
various clubs. As a natural advocate, I
decided to step up to the next level for
all students.
Valdivia: What do you
think is the biggest issue
facing CSUSM students at
this time?
Hoang:
The
biggest
issue facing students is
affordability and
access

at
CSUSM.
The economic

its toll on students and the
______
budget
cuts

enrollment. Parking permit prices and
textbooks are extremely high, availability of parking is troubling, and the offering of fewer class sections are delaying
graduation rates.
Valdivia: As ASI President, what
are you doing to help students with
this issue?
Hoang: I asked President Haynes for
help regarding parking permit prices
when I f irst stepped into o ffice and with
the help of ASI advocacy, she cut the
proposed increase by $35 dollars for the
next academic year. I also advocate on
a statewide level for our students and
have led a textb.ook affordability resolution that recently passed and is in the
works at our home campus. I've also
spearheaded the coded memorandum on
shared governance for our CSU. This
ensures the accountability of having a
student on an administrative committee
/ initiative to voice the student perspective.
Valdivia: What is your stand on the
idea and planning for the new University Student Union?
Hoang: The USU is an awesome legacy
in the process. It will clearly benefit the
whole community at CSUSM. Faculty
and staff in our administration should be
included in the fee implementation, not
just students, since it will enhance our
community as a whole.
Valdivia: What has been the best
part of being ASI President?
Hoang: The best part is standing by
the side of my fellow students each day.
To give my best, everything that I am to
engaging, empowering, and serving students is a true honor and privilege,
Valdivia: What has been the biggest
challenge as ASI President?
Hoang: The biggest challenge is the
learning curve. I have stepped up to
this challenge by professionally developing the board and creating an ASI
101 living transition manual so that any
f uture student chosen by their constituents to lead will be quickly supported in
order to deliver results for the students
of CSUSM.
Valdivia: Any additional thoughts
you would like to share with students?

Alternative fuel vehicles are in your future
Are you torturing yourself with lack of sleep?
BY BLAINE H. MOGIL
Pride Staff Writer
BY JAMES SEBRING
Pride Staff Writer
Although the small scale nuclear
reactor found in a Delorean may
sound like a nice alternative for
fossil fuels, until we get a fully functional Flux Capacitor this just won't
be a viable option. Don't despair as
plenty of realistic options are in the
works with many already on the
road Fossil Fuel freedom includes
options such as Fuel Cell Technology, Ethanol, Electric Hybrids and
even Algae. Could Algae become a
viable fuel source for cars?
While Algae may not propel
your car with the power of 1.21 jiggawatts, if it can power a 747 it's
probably got the potential to get your
Scion moving too. In order for algae
to be used as fuel in vehicles, it must
be processed in a manner similar to
converting oil into gasoline. According to Dave Demeqian writing for
wired.com, "PetroSun Biofuels has
opened a commercial algae-to-biofuels farm on the Texas Gulf Coast..."
and continues "Of all the options for
future jet biofuel production, algae is
considered one of the most viable."
In this same article the viability of
using biofuels is given credence as
in early 2008 "Virgin Atlantic flew
a 747 partially powered by coconut
andbabassu oil." The CEO ofVirgin
Atlantic has become deeply concerned about the environment and is
taking a leadership role in promoting
alternative fuels. —
In an article by Mike Magda on
autobloggreen.com "Branson says

theuse ofbiofuels shouldbe expanded
to many industries. Branson's Virgin
transportation companies, including
Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Trains,
are going to reinvest profits into
renewable energy, and Virgin Fuels
is expected to be a beneficiary. The
company was already into bioethanol production and researching other
alternative fuels." Perhaps Branson
may be looking at the profit potential
of alternative fuels even as he claims
a concern for the environment One
may question Branson's real motivation, but it would be very hard to
say that he is all talk. He is taking a
very strong leadership role in creating a more environmentally friendly
option to fossil fuels.
While algae may become an
excellent substituteforfossil fuels in
the future, other options are already
on the road, and more are coming
soon from major auto manufacturers. There are already Hybrid Elec-
tries, Flex Fuel vehicles, Natural
Gas Vehicles, and Biodiesel cars
commercially available to purchase.
And without regard to the form of
transportation, these alternatives to
fossil fuels can be adapted to work in
planes, trains and automobiles. And
don't forget about the possibility of
pure electric cars.
GM hasn't forgotten about pure
electrics in spite of having pulled the
plug on the EV1, thefirstcommercially available modern electric car.
According to the Chevy web site the

Is there chemistry between students
and the new C HEM 2 50 lab?
Tuesday
March
10, 2009
BY PRISCILLA GEORGE
Pride Staff Writer
Despite budget cuts and cancelled
classes, Dr. Karno Ng teaches a chemistry laboratory course never before
offered by CSUSM.
Background Info; Previously, both
chemistry majors as well as pre-med students would take the CHEM 250 course
and pair it with CHEM 275, a threecredit course including a class and lab.
Students who did not fall into this category would generally take no accompanying lab with the CHEM 250 course.
This method worked well for quite some
time. However, it was actually a hindrance for non-chemistry majors. This
is because non-chemistry majors such
as pre-med students were not required
to take CHEM 275 but just needed
an accompanying lab for professional
degree purposes. Therefore, instead of
taking a 1-credit lab, no alternative was
given, forcing them to take on a course
they really did not need. For chemistry
majors, however, taking the required
CHEM 275 in conjecture with CHEM
25Ò allowed them to save time.
Lab's Purpose: As a remedy to this
dilemma, a new CHEM 250 lab was
developed this year. The lab "was primarily designed as a means for students
who are not chemistry majors to get a
second semester of 'general chemistry
lab' for the purpose of applying to medical school or other graduate or profes-
sional programs for which two semesters of general chemistry lab are prerequisites," said Dr. Michael Schmidt,
the current Chem 250 course instructor.
None of this makes any difference to students who are neither chemistry majors
or pre-med students, since they can still
take the CHEM 250 lecture without the
lab, just as before.
I nstructor Highlight: Dr. Karno Ng
currently teaches the new CHEM 250
lab. Dr. Ng has a Bachelor's of Science
in Chemistry and had the honor of being
Summa Cum Laude (3.8 GPA average),
has a PhD in Analytical Chemistry and
an MBA. She was also the 2007/2008
recipient for the President's Award for
Excellence in Teaching and Learning
from CSUSM. Because of her expertise
in Analytical Chemistry and her substantial qualifications, she was given thé
prestigious honor of creating the CHEM
250 lab from scratch. Dr. Ng says it is
a lot of hard work but this opportunity
is a privilege. She employs a variety of
educational tools such as worksheets,
pre-lab quizzes, the Vermier Software
Program for certain experiments, inclass quizzes, lectures expounding upon
the next week's lab and mini-lectures
the day of the lab to reiterate important
points and reminders. "The new CHEM
250 lab will usually be offered every
spring while the CHEM 250 lecture will
most likely be offered in both fall and
spring semesters," Ng says.
Lab Response: Students have both

that coming back for the lab was actually beneficial because it helped her
refresh the material. Both Hart and
sophomore Brittney Banfer agree their
previous labs ran more smoothly than
the Chem 250 lab. Since this is a new
lab, many unforeseen problems arise
causing confusion. Understandably,

many kinks still need to be worked out.
Junior Jennifer Oberschmid thinks "it's
kind of cool to be part of an 'experiment'." When asked about the lab size
and atmosphere, Banfer replied "the
class is small so you're able to get help
if you need it and not wait forever to
ask questions and the atmosphere is f un

Horror films used to be about
building tension and keeping
viewers on the edge of their seat.
Now, since films like "Saw" and
"Hostel," horrorfilmshave become
all about blood and mutilation.
Real thrills in horror films come
from fear leading to the violence,
not the actual deaths. This film has
potential if it can maintain a high
level of anxiety in viewers.

University Student Union Student Forums
As Cal State San Marcos continues to grow and approach its 20th anniversary, we are
exploring options for constructing a facility for campus life, programming, social
interactions, and leadership development that will impact the entire campus community.
The proposed University Student Union (USU) project will enhance the quality of campus
life by providing a mix of informal gathering spaces, retail and food services, and venues
for events. However, an increase to the existing Student Union fee would be necessary to
support construction and ongoing operational costs associated with the facility.
CSUSM will be utilizing an alternative consultation process which provides opportunities
for student, faculty, and staff input regarding the proposed USU building and student fee
increase through forums and a website (http://www.csusm.edu/usuA designed to be both
educational and a means to obtain feedback. This feedback will then be compiled into a
report and presented to the Student Fee Advisory Committee and President Haynes.
Your participation is crucial to the process since the proposed University Student Union
will have broad implications affecting many aspects of campus life. By attending one of
the forums, you will have an opportunity to learn more about the proposed building, view
artist renderings, ask questions and provide us with your thoughts and ideas.
The open student forums are scheduled as follows:

A Neverending Story Popcorn storytelling
It all started when Paige decided
to leave Cole in charge of making
reservations. If maybe she had
called herself or enlisted a five
year old, maybe, then maybe, we
wouldn't be where we are right
now.
"This whole trip was your dumb
idea, remember? Don't blame
me." Paige says to me before she
crosses her arms and drops down
on a stump in the dirt.
I glare at Cole, while Amy and
Kimberly play Go Fish in the
truck bed.
"How in the world is this my
fault?"
"Well, it's not mine and now
Bryan and Tim are missing."
Back over winter break, I suggested that we all get together
like the old days for a road trip.
Paige thought it might be nice to
rent a cabin by the lake over the
spring break. Everyone agreed.
For months, I looked forward to
it. I didn't mind mid terms and I
sure as hell didn't worry about all
the money I would essentially be
wasting that could be put to better
use like for bills and food.
Four minutes into the trip, I
knew it was a bad idea.
"What do you mean, we have
to sleep in tents?" Amy and Kimberly said in near unison.
"I mean, Cole forgot to make
reservations for the cabin so we
have to sleep in tents." I clarified.
"Oh really?" Amy said, then
leaned over and gave Cole a Wet
Willie.
Kimberly glared at her.
By day three, everyone was
ready to cut the trip short and
Bryan broke the news that he had
to be back at work the next afternoon.
The other tents were packed by
the time I woke up.
Paige shook me out of sleep
sometime during the night. Her
hair was in a braid and she was in
the same overalls and white taiik
top she had been in since we left
Bryan's house to come up here.
She kissed me on the cheek and
told me to rise and shine.
Truth be told, I was pretty sick of
the dirt in myfingernailsand ants
in my food. Tim was going into
withdrawals not having any phone
service and he's pretty lousy when
he doesn't have phone service.
Amy and Kimberly were about
to kill each other and Cole was too
full of himself to try to mediate it.
"This isn't high school anymore, Evan." Paige told me this
afternoon before letting me know
they all decided to give it up and
head back home later tonight.
The campground was pretty
vacant. I remember the park
ranger telling us there were two
other groups checked in for the
week. He handed us a map that
Bryan used for blow his nose and
that's the last I remember seeing
it. The ranger also told us something about what to do in case of
emergencies but it went in one ear
and out the other like when flight
attendants tell you about those
inflatable life preservers on airplanes.
I stumbled out our tent and
combed my greasy hair back.
I was helping Cole load the
boat on the trailer while Paige,
Tim, and Amy were playing on
the dock. Tim was trying to push
the girls into the lake while they
screamed and protested. Tim lost
his balance on the foot of the dock
and grabbed Paige's arm for support. Both of them crash landed
into the chilly water.
I heard Paige's screeches while
Amy laughed. Then I heard her
cursing and I knew something
was up.
"The keys! They're gone!" Paige
kept saying over and over before
adding, "I hope you brought scuba
gear because we aren't leaving
without those keys."
"Don't be so dramatic," Amy
Word(s)
\
said. "We'll just call someone to
come get us;"
"How? With smoke signals?"
Four hours passed, which lead
me here with Bryan and Tim missing and Paige treating me like we
never broke up, attitude and all.
Cole leans over to me as I stare
out ahead, trying to think.
"This is bad, man. What are we
gonna do?"
I try to keep myself calm
because I know everyone else is
freaking out because it's dark outside. I know the practical thing
to do would be to sleep and then
worry about finding a phone in
the morning but no one wants to
do that.
"Why don't you stay here with
the girls and Paige and I'll go find
the guys and get to a phone."
To Be Continued..,
Check in next week to read the
continuation of "A Neverending Story" as told by a different
writer.

are meat options that are filling but do not
cause drowsiness like fried food options.
One misconception that people have is
that food from school cannot taste good,
or at least cannot compete with the quality
of an outside restaurant. This is an unfortunate misconception that students carry
over from elementary school, when abominations like "haystacks" and square pizza
were the best options.
However, nothing could be further
from the truth in this case. Want proof? If
people really think outside food is better,
they will be happy to hear that the chefs at
Sushi 101 are from the San Marcos branch
of Sushiya, a popular sushi bar chain.
In fact, much of the menu that regular
Sushiya customers love remains intact for
this tiny but delicious sushi spot in the Big
Cat Food Court. So why not try something
new for lunch that does not require microwaves or fryalators? Sometimes new experiences can lead to life-long love affairs,
even in the case of raw fish.
Jones Soda Blue Bubble Gum
Every kid's d ream, liquid b ubble gum
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Senior Staff Writer
Jones Soda manages the
production of their product
in Seattle, Washington. Peter
van Stoll| founded what would
eventually become Jones Soda
in 1987. The company gained momentum in 1994 when the Jones brand name
became widely available due to the support from a large distributor. Jones Soda
became the official name for the company in 2000. The company began with
only sixflavors.Currently, the company
has 20flavorsamongst a slew of different beverages including energy drinks.
Jones Soda can be purchased individually, in
4 packs, and even in 24
packs. A singe bottle
of Jones Soda retails
for about a dollar
and a half. Finding
the beverage might
be trickier than finding
more popular brands
of soda such as Coke or
Pepsi. However, BevMo
stores offer a great selection.
A unique characteristic about Jones Soda
the random photos on ea
bottle. The pictures ran
from a close up of a bee
a crashing ocean, and
pretty much anything and every-
thing in between. The beverage
company selects pictures submitted by customers. Making the distinctive characteristic even more
amazing is the fact that customers can special order a 12 pack of
Jones Soda with their own photo
and quote for $30.
A slight mist escapes from the chilled
bottle after opening the sealed cap. Under
the cap reads, "Be an angel. Save a life."
The vibrant color blasts beautiful blue rays
into every direction. The fluid releases a
scent very similar to a package of Bubblicious Blue Bubble Gum. The kid inside
jumps for joy as the blueberry flavored
soda gently massages all areas
of the mouth before passing on. The tongue cannot
help but rub the lips as the
taste buds excitedly beg for
more Jones Soda.
"It smells so sweat! It's
almost like a cream soda.
It kind of takes you back
to your childhood a
little bit. I don't know
exactly how, but it
does," said Senior
Business major Bryan
Spangenberg.
Make sure to chill
Jones Soda to maximize pleasure. Ice
might water down
the wonderful tasting drink. Cheers
mates!
