The current parking situation
at CSUSM is easy to understand - there aren't enough
spaces. Student enrollment for
this semester is approximately
6900*, which is the highest in
CSUSM history. This is a 14%
increase over last fall. While our
enrollment increases each year,
the number of parking spaces
stays the same. Patti Hale and

Fundadora del Departamento de Idiomas Mundiales y Literaturas Hispanas en proceso de retiro de CSUSM
Por MARTHA S ARABIA
Editora Principal
En 1990, la Dra. Stella T. Clark
fue seleccionada para fundar el
Departamento de Idiomas Mundiales y Literaturas Hispanas de
la Universidad Estatal de California en San Marcos (CSUSM).
Hoy, 12 años después, Clark está
en el proceso de retirarse de su
carrera de maestra que ha mantenido por 38 años.
Este semestre empezó su proceso de retiró cómo miembro del
Programa de Retiro Temprano
para la Facultad (FERP), dicho
programa del sistema universitario estatal (CSU) tiene un

a adaptarse poco a poco a lo que

programa consta de dar clases un
semestre y el siguiente no, y así
sucesivamente hasta los cinco
años cuando la facultad se retira
totalmente de su área de trabajo.

En la carrera de Clark, la fundación de un departamento de
idiomas no fue el único problema
que enfrentó. "Cuando yo me
gradué de Kansas, todos los profesores eran hombres, hombres y
americanos," dijo Clark sobre su
generación. También dijo que en
ese tiempo usualmente las personas pertenecientes a las minorías
o de género femenino no eran
maestros en universidades. Por
tal motivo, ella dijo, "Me gusto
servir de ejemplo para las personas que se quieren graduar y
que creen que no pueden porque

o porque vienen de una sociedad

si se puede."
jos. Por eso, Clark dice, "No se
dejen vencer por los problemas
que va a haber problemas pero
que no son nada comparados con
los problemas de la vida si uno no
tiene su preparación académica."
Este consejo Clark lo recibió de
uno de sus alumnos que trabajaba en un servicio de limpieza
por las noches y que ganaba una
buena cantidad de dinero pero se
sentía estancado en esa ocupación lo cual lo motivaba ir a la
escuela para cambiar su estilo de
vida. "Estudiar es una inversión
emocional, psicológica, física,
y económica pero que les va a
rendir mucho cuando terminen...
Es un regalo que uno se da a uno
mismo," expresó Clark.
Clark le tiene un gran y profundo amor a su carrera. "Creo

The Appearing and Disappearing Act of
Your Class Schedule
By POLLY
CHAROENKWANCHAI
Pride Staff Writer
Due to the sudden burst in
enrollment, several classes were
added to this year's schedule.
Since some of these changes
were made the week before the
start of the term or even the first
week of the semester, it was not
possible to include them in the
course schedule. In addition,
some classes were cancelled
and others moved to different
rooms to increase the size of
enrollment.
This administrative course of
action comes after the cancellation of many classes over the
summer break. The decision to
cancel these courses depends on
a variety of factors. "The most
common is low student enrollment," said Michael McDuffie,
the Associate Dean in the College
of Arts and Sciences. According
to McDuffie, courses like LTWR
115 or WMST 445 were closed
because it "isn't cost-effective to
keep it open" thereby allowing
the money to be used for more
popular classes that will serve
more students. Other factors,
such as consultations with the
Department Chairs, the amount
of available sections in a particular course, and General Education
requirements are also taken into
account when determining which
classes to cancel. It is unclear if
the currently enrolled students
of these cancelled courses were
taken into consideration as a
deciding factor.
one room to another" as well as
changing "one time to another."
This^ change is meant to benefit
crashers and new students alike.
Late demands for classes are
resolved by moving the class into
a bigger room.
The
academic
schedule
remains to be determined by a
limited budget and limited space.
The fees that are collected from
the new enrollment is expected
to be spent on increasing the
"instructional budgets," therefore
providing room for extra enrollment in the spring semester.
A complete list of available
courses is located in the College
of Arts and Sciences advising

East, and holds that theocracy is
no longer a valid form of government and that the focus should be
shifted to Arab Nationalism.
Last week, Dr. Salah Moukhlis,
Professor of Literature and Writing Studies, gave an informative
talk on the historical context of
modern Islamic culture. Attendance at this event was very
low ~ the audience numbered
less than a dozen — probably
due to lack of awareness of the
event rather than disinterest
Dr. Moukhlis, originally from
Morocco, volunteered his time,
despite the low turnout, to provide those who wished to learn
more about Middle Eastern culture the opportunity to ask someone withfirsthandknowledge.
The,second school of thought
is that the Middle East can be
modernized without loosing
its cultural identity by merging
with western culture to the extent
that it is useful and simply not
adopting western attributes that
conflict with traditional values.
In describing this more moderate stance Dr. Moufchlis quoted
Bryan S. Turner who argues:
"What makes religious faith
or religious commitment problematic in a global postmodern
society is that everyday life has
become part of a global system
of exchange of commodities
which are not easily influenced
by political leaders, intellectuals
or religious leaders."
The main theme of Dr. Moukhlis' talk concerned the strategies
that the Islamic world is using
in order to deal with the problems associated with modernity;
namely, in trying to modernize
without jeopardizing
traditional identity. According to Dr.
Moukhlis, there are three schools
of thought on this subject. The
first is radical for the Middle
The third school of thought is
that modernism is too secular and
holds too many perils, and that
the best solution is to return to
the pure or ancestral ways that
Islam describes as the model
for social organization. To contrast this isolationist view, Dr.
Moukhlis quotes Monshipouri
who argues, "It is essential... to
remember that secular rational

civility, indigenous development
and globalization, and communal identity and internalization of
human rights."
Dr. Moukhlis points out that,
dating as far back as Napoleon's
invasion of Egypt in 1798, which
he describes as being a huge
a shock of modernism to the
Middle East, the Arab world has
felt a pressure to catch up with the
West. While Moukhlis contends
that most Middle Easterners like
what the west has to offer ~ technology, democracy, and humanism — the west for them also
represents violence, invasion,
and the dehumanizing effects of
colonialism. The values that the
West holds as fundamental are
universally admired, however
the discrepancies between the
theory and the practice cause disillusionment for Westerners and
Middle Easterners alike. Giving

Debate
By JASON PADILLA
Pride Staff Writer
Over one hundred people-ranging from grade school students
to senior citizens gathered at
7 p.m., Thursday evening, at
the Shadowridge Country Club
Home Owners Association in
Vistaf to participate and watch the
annual mayoral debate. Enthusiasm was noticeably high during
the introductory ceremonies, as
everyone was anxious to find a
chair in the crowded dining hall.
With a few dozen still standing
with their complementary snacks
and refreshments, partly due
to the large turnout and limited
seating, the introductions began,
and as the 3 candidates for Vista
City Mayor took their seats, the

anticipation.

of Vista Ed Estes, and last but
not least Morris Vance. Three
candidates that were scheduled
to speak but did not show were
Craig Heiller, Joe Vargas, and
Elvin Vega. Reasons for these
three candidates not showing up
were not given throughout the
evening.
All three candidates gave their
five to ten minute presentations
to either become or to continue
as the mayor of Vista. While the
candidates expressed their own
personal goals and ideas, they
also discussed similar issues they
all felt needed adjustment.
Similarly, topics ranged from
traffic congestion to new and

mentioned were the correlation

There is some unrest about the
current traffic congestion in Vista

outlets may cause additional traffic. Also discussed was the fact
that these additional structures
will boost the economy and possibly make Vista a more enjoyable city to live in. To counteract
the negative effects of these
developments, candidates proposed suggestions ranging from

each candidate talked for an additional three to five minutes in an
attempt to answer their queries,

One year has officially passed
since America watched in shock
and horror as planes piloted by
Al-Queda terrorists flew into the
World Trade Center, the Pentagon
and rural farmland in Pennsylvania. In a pre-9-11 world, this act
would have been thought of not
only as unthinkable, but more
likely as a Hollywood stoiy line
than an event that was to grip our
nation unlike any in history. The
endless news coverage assaulted
us with images and stories of this
horrific event and it was through
these images that we identified
with what happened - live video
from three thousand miles away.
It seemed surreal, too great to
comprehend because hi our own
backyard life was, for all intents
and purposes.. .normal.
It was easy to watch the smoldering ruins of two hundred and
twenty stories and realize what
an impact it would have. What
would it be like to be there,
to actually see first hand the
destruction that has been wrought
and the impact on the people of
New York? Television can only
show so much, it cannot accu* rately portray the feeling in th$
air, nor would it have the effect
of witnessing firsthand what
had really happened. For New
Year's Day of 2002, a friend and
I decided that we should witness
first hand what had befallen our
country.
happened. Our hopes for seeing
anything were becoming bleak as
we noticed a line stretched from
St. Mark's cathedral, heading
north into the city. We started
walking along the line looking for
the end but it just kept going. It
stretched for two city blocks then
took an abrupt left and continued
down for another four to the edge
of the site then c u ^ J back up
again. We got i nlii^Smewhere
around here and settled down for
what seemed like a long wait.
This was the coldest I could ever
remember being. I was growing
frustrated with the howling wind,
against which my scarf seemed
defenseless. It was then that it
hit me.
One of the many Shrines created as a memorial for those who lost their lives during the
terror attacks one year ago .
New York in the winter is as
beautiful as it is cold. There's
a certain appeal from the leafless
tress and frost covered grass. As
in the movies, many of the buildings are dirty and old but when
set upon the white winter sky,
they have a romantic appeal that
screams "This is New York!' Our
plan was to get as close as possible to the World Trade Center site
and hopefully not get chased off
by 'New York's finest.' It w asn't
until we \yere in Times Square on
New Year's Eve that we learned a
public viewing platform had been
opened earlier that day.
Packed in with half a million
other people it was-the topic of
much conversation. Some did
not want to go because they felt
it was sacrilegious while others
could not wait for the chance
to see the awesome spectacle
of destruction. Most however
wanted to pay their respects, like
a never ending memorial service,
a form of prayer, and a word of
silence, remembrance. The New
Year rang in with red, white
and blue confetti and a personal
address from Mayor Rudolph
Giulianni, who said that after
September 11, we were all New
Yorkers.
marked for September 15 but
never opened for consumers to
take advantage, a closed coffee
shop with 9-11 specials still in
the window helps serve as a
reminder that this area was completely shut down. Signs of life
were becoming apparent as we
made our way to the observation
platform; the scene transformed
from a bleak, empty reminder to
the bustle that New York is associated with, only this time it was
different.
The cab ride was easy. We
simply told him that we wanted
to get as close as possible to
the World Trade Center as possible. He nodded, having heard
this many times already, and
in silence we made our way to
New York's financial district.
Despite the cold, the sun was
shinning brightly, reflecting off
of huge office windows from the
buildings still left in Wall Street.
We were dropped off east of the
World Trade Center on the edge
Cabs were busy picking people
off Battery Park.
up and dropping them off but for
one very different reason. They
From there we made our way were coming to see just what had
west, walking alongside the site
and catching glimpses of the
destruction in between buildings. What was really catching
was the numerous businesses that
were closed on 9-11 and became
a kind of time capsule - a shoe
store with a sale in the window
The wind had yet to bother me
in New York but standing next
to a sixteen square acre hole, it
swept through the site with a fury
and without the towers to buffet
it, it attacked at will. After two
and a half hours of eternity and
a chin I knew I had but could
not feel, we made it back to the
main street and started our slow
procession towards the viewing
platform. The sunshine seemed
to have faded, replaced by gloom
as slowly we marched and then
all the various memorials left by
family and well-wishers invaded
our senses.
Candles were still burning
around make-shift signs and
computer printouts of missing
friends, husbands, wives, sons,
and daughters. I wasn't feeling
the cold from the wind anymore,
just the piercing chill of these
haunting images of smiling faces
that would never again see the
light of day. An old, rusty bicycle
was chained to a light post and it
seemed odd that the owner had
not claimed it. Looking closer,
there was no owner to claim. It
too was a memorial, adorned in
flowers and a rosary with a sign

paying tribute to the bike messengers who had lost their lives.
It was strange: the news portrayed, endlessly, the fallen
heroes of the Fire and Police
department but you did not hear
much about the little guys. That
got me thinking, what about the
janitors, the cooks, and the maintenance guys? There must have
been thousands of these people
that were equally affected by that
terrible day.
St. Mark's was an active recovery
center for the World Trade Center.

workers made their way in and
out and a hand painted sign on
plywood made it explicitly clear
that the entrance was to remain
clear of people. We were almost
there and we came upon the biggest memorial yet.
Hundreds of pictures of missing
people and signs of encouragement of shared grief from all
across the country. Every state
was represented here, every
American from every ethnic
group and culture. It was not that
the memorial was so massive; it is
that the depth and scope of it was.

People were quiet, walking the
hundred-yard ramp up the platform and to the viewing area.
Most kept their heads down, it
could be said to avoid the wind,
but I like to think it was out of
respect. Police inform you when
you get to the actual viewing
stage that you have three minutes
and three minutes only. They
were serious. I saw them usher
away many loiters except for one
woman who was sobbing uncontrollably. They did not have it in
them to tell her that time was up.
It was easy to boot someone
who had just snapped off twenty
seven pictures and was reload"
ing yet another roll of film, but
how do you tell someone who
is looking wildly into the crowd,
through her tears of grief that it's
time to go? Standing on the edge
of the makeshift platform, it's
impossible to believe what happened. I was right. Watching it
on T.V. makes it seem small and
unconnected. One of my first
thoughts was that planes didn't
do this, someone dropped about
a hundred bombs. It looked like
a war zone.
The pile of rubble was obvious
and backhoes normally 50 feet
tall were so deep in the site you
could only see the top of their
buckets. Most of the surrounding
buildings had half their windows
blown out except for one. It was
an older building, roughly forty
feet high and made of concrete.
It was melted. It looked like
sulfuric acid had been dumped
all over it and like a candle left
lit overnight had just melted
away. The human mind was not
designed to take in a scene like

If you haven't talked about,
heard of, or watched one of the
most unexpected hit TV shows of
the summer, you must have been
under a rock. "American Idol"
took America by storm when it
made its world premiere on June
11, at 9:00pm on Fox. Two nights
a week, millions of viewers
stayed glued to the TV to find
out which potential Superstar
hopeful would be ousted next.
M aking
The viewers called in each
week to determine who gave
a star-studded performance
and who gave a not-so-stellar
performance. Whether your
favorite was RJ Helton, A.J, Gil,
or the obvious sex kitten of the
bunch, Ryan Starr, most viewers
had their top three of who they
thought would win. From an
overwhelming group of surveys
and public opinion, it was plain to
see that Kelly Clarkson, Tamyra
Gray, and Justin Guarini were the
favorites who were predicted to
make it to the grand finale show.
of
a shocking vote on Wed. August
21, Tamyra Gray was voted off
which left Nikki McKibbin the
mediocre mundane rock vocalist
to be ripped apart vocally in the
upcoming episode. Needless to
say, the following week*America
said farewell to Nikki McKibbin.
The two-hour grand finale left
the other two favorites Kelly
Clarkson and Justin Guarini to
battle it out with songs never
heard before. To all three judges,
Kelly Clarkson was the obvious
choice for the coveted title of

then rushed off to a whirlwind of
interviews, televisions spots, and
the ultimate prize, an exclusive
recording contract with RCA
and an album due for release on
November 26,2002.
You may ask, "Well, what
happened to everyone else?"
Don't despair because you are in
luck. All tenfinalistsare going on
tour together to sing songs from
the show and the "American
Idol: Greatest Hits" album is due
out Oct. 15. Word on the street is
that RCA has also signed runnerup Justin Guarini and the lovely
Tamyra Gray.
If you just can't wait for each
of their albums to hit the shelves,
see them all on tour. Guess where
is the first stop? Yes, it's San
Diego on October 8. And to all
you CSUSM students, auditions
for "American Idol 2" will be
coming to a city near you very
soon. So get your vocal chords
ready and pick out that perfect

These are also students who
have walked away from the
university, degree in hand, ready
to begin the next phase of their
lives.
Now the process is, for the
most part, beyond the student.
Registration and Records enters
the application information
into Banner (an administrative
software system), and the yellow
copy of the application is sent to
advising.
Imagine the deflated sense of
accomplishment and the disruption to one's life that this would
cause. Careers may have to
be put on hold or even simply
impeded. Relocating back to the
San Diego area is likely necessary. And, one must find the
financial resources and time to
devote to reenrollment.
Now let us see what the
graduation 'technician' is up
to. She or he runs a report to
determine who has applied and
reapplied for graduation. Each
applicant's file is pulled from
advising. Banner is checked to
see if the applicant has transcripts
that need to be copied from
Registration and Records. Along
with the retrieval of any and all
necessary transcripts, approved
alternate course agreements,
independent study contracts
and incomplete agreements are
also gathered into the student's
folder.
I am sending this letter for
a couple reasons. First of all,
there is erroneous information
contained within the article
on HALO ("The Low Down
on Halo") in the Arts section
of The Pride's September 10
issue. The author wrote that it
is possible to play through the
levels cooperatively with up to
sixteen players, he is wrong.
With more than two players
you can only play against each
other, not against the aliens.
Also, he failed to mention the
online capabilities of HALO.
out, goes to the cashier's office
to pay fees (because apparently
tuition is hot sufficient to cover
paper processing), then back to
Registration and Records to turn
in the completed application.
But then they get a phone call
from Registration and Records,
interrupting that next phase. The
student is informed that "due to
an error," they must return to the
university to fully complete their
requirements, and their degree is
invalid until having done so.
Editors:
One student to whom this
revocation happened inquired
as to why he should come back,
being that the physical degree
was already in his possession.
He-was told that his degree is
now invalid, to be considered a
forged document. So he returned
to CSUSM to watch an employee
in the Registration office shred
his diploma, and he reluctantly
handed over his tuition for the
upcoming semester.

Again, thefe are 22 steps
- and two semesters prior
to graduation in which to
complete them. And yet,
we still cannot be sure
that once that degree is in
hand, it is ours to keep. So
where does that leave us? It
leaves us second-guessing
the determinations of the
people being paid to advise
us because they cannot
invariably be relied upon.
It leaves us to be extra cautious about our own graduation planning. And, well,
in some unfortunate cases it
leaves us plain SOL, as the
saying goes.
The author of the article also
mentioned that he is up for a
battle with anyone who thinks
they can play and that he is
the HALO champion. This
may sound ridiculous, but I
would like to challenge him. I
understand that it may not be
appropriate that I address this
topic in mail sent to The Pride,
and not directly to the author,
but this is the only way I could

Last week, student Lorraine
Puckett was unable to get her
wheelchair out of her van because
someone had parked on the blue
lines of the handicap space.
People who turn the blue lines
of a handicap space into makeshift parking spaces are asking
for a very expensive ticket.
CSUSM President Gonzalez
explained that our parking situation is complicated because the
state does not subsidize parking
services in any way. Parking
services must be completely selfsupporting.
Gonzalez explained that to
build the six planned parking
structurés, no state funds can be
used. Money for construction of
die structures must come from
parking services through substantial increases in parking fees.
Gonzalez also explained that
parking structures are extremely
expensive to build.
It breaks down to something
like 12-18 thousand dollars per
space. Therefore, if a structure
had 1000 spaces, at $12,000 per
space, that equals 12 million
dollars for one structure. And
that's the low end of the money
spectrum.
Gonzalez assures students that
there is a committee currently
working on the parking issue and
looking at alternative areas and
solutions. Gonzalez is waiting for
the committee to report back to
him with their recommendations.

�Results of Audit Lead to Discontinuation of MBA Program through Extended Studies
By Leiana Naholowaa
Graduate Intern
The findings of a July '8,
2002, special investigation of the
Extended Studies (ES) MBA program operated by the College
of Business Administration
(CoBA), released by the university on July 16, indicate the
neglect of policy and the misuse
of both state and non-state funds
between 1995 and 2000. Among
its many findings, the audit
asserts that certain CSUSM
CoBA faculty and administrators who were responsible for the
MBA program offered through
Extended Studies "acted collectively in disregard of various
laws, regulations, and California
State University (CSU) policies
and procedures."
According to the audit, "over
$300,000 in Continuing Education Revenue Fund (CERF)
expenditures" which were insufficiently associated with the CERF
program "were made as grants
to CoBA faculty". In its official
July 16 press release, CSUSM
has maintained that it had taken
action to correct the situation.
The audit also highlights
various ways in which leaders
and prior cam|>Us administrators
acted in an "economically wasteful manner" in a summary which
includes the following:
-
CoBA faculty responsibilities were additionally decreased when it
separately hired student
advisors.
CoBA faculty workloads were calculated in
a manner that reduced
student classroom contact for many CoBA tenured faculty.
CoBA
discretionary
expenditures were often,
inadequately supported
and
inappropriately
approved.
Hourly rates for faculty
with consulting contracts ranged from less
than $50 per hour to several hundred dollars per
hour without any perceptible justification for
variances in the rates
charged.
Jack Leu, associate professor
and former director of the MBA
program from 1999-2001, notes
that "Cal State-business schools
have had inadequate funding for
decades." Professor Leu states
the problems that the program
faced which include the struggle
in recruiting talented faculty and
how their actual workload of
giving up a winter or summer
break for extra pay "was rewarded
with sub-market compensation."
According to Professor Leu,
"We could have taken the conventional approach of many CSU
campuses. However, we taught
our students not to be limited by
system constraints, not to accept
status quo and to take the journey
less traveled. Perhaps we must
also tell our students that the lesstraveled journey can also lead to
p eril"
In terms of how the Extended
Studies MBA has operated as
an academic program, the investigation concludes that it was
"improperly administered" by
the CoBA and ES management.
Some examples of those findings
include that:
-
Campus standards over
grades were iiot followed.
ES exercised little control over the operation
of the CoBA ES MBA
program. In addition,
it retained few official
accounting or academic
records for the program
as it does for all other ES
programs at CSU San
Marcos.
Campus academic leaders, the CoBA dean, and
MBA program leadership failed to act with
due care and attention
toward Office of the
University Auditor findings and recommendations presented in the
Continuing Education
audit in December
1999.
- Concern regarding thé

is something seriously dysfunctional going on with regard to
the male-female student dynamic
here at Cal State San Marcos.
In my capacity as your A.S.I.
Secretary, over the summer I had
the opportunity to interact with a
lot of incoming freshmen at orientation. Oftentimes this interaction involved nothing more than
simply walking by them on my
way to another spot on campus.
It seemed to me that almost every
time I would walk through a
crowd of freshmen guys talking
(or whispering) amongst themselves, I heard a familiar theme
repeated over and over. It went
something like, "Daaamn bro,
look at all the hot chicks here yo,
we're outnumbered like two to
one!" Indeed, I admit, I was just
as excited about that ratio when I
first came to this school.
Unfortunately what these guys
don't realize yet (but they
undoubtedly will once the semester gets underway) is that that
ratio offers absolutely no assurance that they will "hook up"
with any girls, let alone one.

It's
common knowledge
that, when it comes to understanding women, most guys are
about as smart as a block of concrete. Our biggest problems are
that, first of all, we simply don't
talk to enough girls, and since
most of us aren't very perceptive
or sensitive, usually we either
misinterpret (or just plain, miss)
the signals girls do give us that
are supposed to let us know they
wouldn't mind it if we talked to
them more and/or asked them out
on a date.
When I told my 12 buddies this,
they all grudgingly concede that
they couldbe better about approaching more girls. But, as far as not
being able to read signals that girls
are supposedly sending to them,
they get outright indignant and
sometimes even kind of pissed
off. "WHAT SIQNALS?!?!" they
all retort. "Are we supposed to be
like mind-readers or something
man? Are they using telepathy or
something?!?!
See man, that's what's messed
up about chicks is that they always
expect you to come to them,
but when you do think you've
received some kind of signal and
you do step to them, 99.9% of the

It's that time of year again.
Between having a crappy registration time, and the fact that the
school only offers two sections
of a core class that you need,
so you are left having to crash
a class that you can't graduate
without. You are desperate. You
have to have this class this semester because it's either & prerequisite, or it's not offered in the
spring, or you need it to graduate on time. You don't even care
that it's only offered at 3:30 p.m.
on Wednesdays, or 11:00 am on
Tuesdays and Thursdays, you've
got to have this class.
really want anything to do with
you and you start thinkin' you're
crazy 'cause you were sure they
were givin' you the go-ahead,
but then it never works out, you
never get any love, you end up
pissed off at yourself, frustrated,
lonely, and highly discouraged...
and after a while you just stop
trying to talk to them with any
hope of ever hooking up or getting a date because you and all
your boys are like, "man, the
chicks at this school are wack!"
I think whatthe guys are trying
to say is that girls need to stop
waiting for guys to approach
them, and they need to be clearer
about the signals they give.
Please ladies, don't take this
personally and try to see this for
what it really is: A CRY FOR
HELP. The guys at this school
are frustrated and confused. They
want to get to know you better,
but they aren't having much success, and don't know how to fix
this problem. Guys like to fix
things. Please help usfixthis situation. I'm sure all the guys at this
school would really appreciate it
if one of you that read this would
write an article for the Pride telling us what we're doing wrong.
And if you don't feel like writing
an article but would like to share
your thoughts feel free to email/
call me (see below), or stop by
my office in Commons 203, and
then I'll turn around and write a
follow up article.
So you arrive early on the first
day of class only to find that
it's standing room only. You wait
silently for the adjunct du jour
to arrive, while wondering how
many others will try to crash. You
ponder your possibilities. Usually
the instructor will either refuse
all crashers (in order to keep the
class size small), take all crashers (knowing in two weeks there
will only be 15 students still
enrolled), or just let graduating
seniors crash. I'm not just talking
about the occasional class everyone has had to crash, but some
students have to crash multiple
classes every semester.
to know each other all that
well. We don't hang out together
outside of school enough. We
don't party together enough. I
repeat, WE DON'T PARTY
TOGETHER ENOUGH. This
needs to change.
No, I'm not joking, I'm dead
serious. We need to have more
parties. In my experience and
that of all my friends, parties are
clearly the best places to meet
people, and lay the foundations
for sometimes long-lasting and
rewarding friendships. But how
many big cool parties did you
get invited to and go to last
year based on your connection to
someone at this school?
Undoubtedly there are many of
you out there that could count
them on one hand, ^nd probably
still more that couldn't count any.
This needs to change. We need
to party together. We need to
have fun together. We need to be
able to say to ourselves after we
leave this place, "My time at San
Marcos was so fun, that school
rocked, I made so many friends,
I went out with so many girls (or
guys, depending on what you go
for), I had the time of my life,
I have no regrets and I 'm sad to
be leaving." Unfortunately, at this
point, I doubt most of us would
say this.
So, let's party. I challenge
everyone whom this article resonates with, who has access to
a house that it would be cool to
throw a party at, to offer to host
a big kickass party. If you need
help organizing it, come talk to
me, I'm here to help. My roommate and I wanted to throw a
big party ourselves but we can't
because we just moved into a
condo. But if this article resonates with you, if you're feelin'
me, and if you've got that perfect house, please, do yourself
and everyone else at this school a
favor, call me.
But folks, there's really no
amount of any such suggestions
that would change the situation
here. Guys will be guys, and girls
will be girls. What we all need
to realize is that ultimately, it's
not a matter of whether it's more
the guys fault or more the girls
fault for keeping us all single,
lonely, and wishing we weren't...
ultimately the problem i s that for
