Johnson Pride Staff Writer On Sept. 29, Professor Mark Wallace read from his book, "The Quarry and the Lot," as the first event of CSUSM's fall 2011 Community and World Literary Series. In a nearly full classroom auditorium, Wallace, an associate professor of Literature and Writing Studies at CSUSM, gave students, faculty and the general public an opportunity to experience a literary reading from the author himself. The event provided the audience with a hybrid presentation that was both personal and professional. A brief introduction, presented by Professor Sandra Doller, explained Wallace received the 2002 Gertrude Stein Poetry Award and authored more than 15 books and chapbooks of poetry, fiction and essays. Also, other countries translated Wallace's writings into several other languages. Following the introduction, Wallace read several short poems from his collection titled "Belief is Impossible." Wallace's poetry proposed ideas and questions that gave the audience something to consider. These considerations came from lines about art, poetry and thought-provoking questions directed at the audience. Wallace then read from "The Quarry and the Lot," published earlier this year. The plot of the ; Brianna Cruz & Ashley Day Pride Staff Writers K imber Q u i n n e y novel follows a group of friends who reunite following the death of a childhood friend. Wallace wrote the novel using four voices that alternate between the past and the present. Wallace forewarned the audience he would not be doing voices for his character, with laughter ensuing from the audience. He then advised that when doing a reading, one should not do voices. A narration about childhood experiences, including a reckless bicycle stunt, first introduced the audience to the character Nick. After reading about Nick, Wallace then read several more poems before returning to "The Quarry and the Lot," introducing the audience to another character, Amelia, and her love for the deceased friend, Joseph. Wallace's voice embodied Amelia as she spoke of Joseph romantically and admiringly, seeing him as not just another one of the boys, but as something deeper. From Amelia's perspective, the audience understood Joseph as a tragic, angst- ridden youth trying to escape bleak suburbia. An opportunity for audience members to ask Wallace any questions followed the reading. These questions ranged from different topics including his book, writing style and writing process. Many students voiced what they thought of Wallace's published work. "I had read ["The Quarry and the Lot"] before, so it wjas interesting to see his perspective on the different characters," Liberal Studies major Kelsey Carmichael said. For those who are unfamiliar with a guest speaker's work, the Community and World Literary Series offers audience members a free, intimate experience to listen to and interact with writers as they share their work and give insight into their writing process. The series' next"reading will present Tisa Bryant and Amina Cain on Oct. 27 at CSUSM.

According to the Susan G. Komen website, in 2011, there will be 230,480 new cases of breast cancer in the United States. Donating money to the American Cancer Society helps conduct more research to help find a cure and save millions of lives. This month, CSUSM's Associated Student Inc. (ASI) will hold their annual "Fight for the Cure" in the Library Plaza during UHour on Thursday, Oct. 13. At the event, school organizations such as the Campus Activities Board (CAB), • Health and Wellness center, Women's Center and The Clarke plan to have information tables. "I don't think [students] realize the importance of getting tested as women," Alicia Perry from ASI said. Breast cancer is most common in women, but men can be involved in raising money. In previous years, ASI attempted to put together a Powder Puff game where students pay to play the game and the proceeds went to the American Cancer Society. "We would have an issue trying" to get people to sign up because they wanted their free time to do something else," Perry said. "Our goal is to raise funds for research and to get as many people involved." This year, ASI is trying a new approach to raise money. ASI is getting the men on campus involved in a fun and interesting way called "Hotties in Heels." The event entails a group of young male volunteers dressing up in drag. Participants accept cash and checks payable to American Cancer Society on behalf of breast cancer awareness. If you see a cross dresser walking around campus, be sure to take a picture with him and your friends and give him a tip for dressing up for a great cause. "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" will hold an event in Balboa Park, San Diego, Sunday, Oct. 16. It consists of a three to five mile walk. If students are interested, attend "Fight for the Cure" and visit the CAB table to sign-up and learn more information regarding organizing or joining a team. For people who live in Temecula, Susan G. Komen Inland Empire will hold their "Race for the Cure" on Sunday, Oct. 16. The event is located in the Macy's parking lot in the Promenade Mall. Hundreds of local vendors will give away free merchandise and sponsor activities for participants. Last Sunday, Oct. 9, "Barbells for Boobs" took place at CrossFit San Elijo to fundraise for "Mammograms for Action." Zionna Mnouz founded the foundation. Mnouz went to get a mammogram in 2009, but was denied the test because she was twenty-six-years-old. Six months later, Mnouz noticed a lump in her breast had grown larger. She mammograms.

BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse in Carlsbad provides enough variety to satisfy any palette. BJ's motto, "Discover why it's always Happy Hour at BJ's," proved to be valid not only for its tasty treats, like the spinach artichoke dip appetizer, but also for their award-winning beers. BJ's is more refined than your average dive bar and their menu supports the ambience with a wide variety of items from giant stuffed potatoes to gourmet burgers, pizza and fish and chips. The most creative thing to do is to build your own deep dish pizza using ingredients including bacon, artichokes, jalapeños and sweet corn. Match that unique pizza with a specialty beer ($3.95 during happy hour), most notably the Piranha Pale Ale, BJ's Jeremiah Red and the gold medalist Belgian style wheat beer, to create a meal all your own. BJ's supports craft beer brewing and bjsbrewhouse.com runs a "Brewer Blog." After you've filled up on tasty beer and pizza, direct your eyes to the must try "Pizookie" dessert: your choice of a baked cookie covered with two scoops of vanilla ice cream. The happy hour deals offer $1 off specialty cocktails, $2 off appetizers and certain nights have specials like half off all wine on Tuesday nights or $5 Mojito Mondays. BJ's happy hour runs from 3 - 7 p.m. Monday - Friday and 7 - close Sunday - Thursday. BJ's atmosphere is reminiscent of downtown San Diego, with an indoor and outdoor area, invitingly dim light, <>pen space, an expansive bar, stylish decoration and friendly service. It is part of the attractive dining and shopping scene near the Carlsbad Flower Fields, which seems geared toward San Diego tourists but still provides a fun night out for locals looking to hit up the scene of Carlsbad. BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse is located on Paseo del Norte in Carlsbad and is open 11 a.m. midnight Monday - Thursday, 11 — 1 a.m. Friday, 10 - 1 a.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. - midnight Sunday. Inventive professor challenges traditions in entrepreneurial class Pride Staff Writer If you enroll in the College of Business Administration's new Entrepreneurship 320 class, don't expect a lot of traditional coursework from professor Scott Landow. He's teaching his students to become dreamers. The first-time professor at Cal State San Marcos doesn't have a syllabus and his unorthodox grading criteria includes awarding points to students who effectively challenge his ideas, regardless of whether they're right or wrong! Landow says he pushes his student to ask "why not?" because out-of-the-box thinking is the hallmark of all successful entrepreneurs. He should know. Landow is the co-founder and CEO of Solana Beach-based Bridgetech Holdings International, an environment and renewables investment firm. Before that, he was chairman and CEO of Omaha-based Bond Laboratories, where he oversaw the development of new consumer products such as Fusion Premium Energy Gum and the hangover prevention drink Resurrection. Landow said all successful entrepreneurs have four characteristic traits: "(The) ability to listen, ability to feel, ability to envision or see what's not there yet and the ability to sell." To teach his students these traits, Landow's first project this semestèr was to have them form teams to create lemonade stands, the foundation for all young entrepreneurs. In his loose but engaging lecture style, Landow talked to his students about how to name their drink stands. "Understand a lemon," he said. "The first priority to naming a product or business is like naming your first child." And when telling students how to choose partners for their stands, he said, "Go toward people that express the unexpected, not those that give predictable answers you prefer to hear." Students in Entrepreneurship 320 say they appreciate Landow's enthusiasm and the unconventional nature of the class. By the end of the semester, each student will be expected to develop a marketable product or service. While owning a successful business is the goal of most students in the college's Entrepreneurship Track, getting rich isn't necessarily a goal Landow espouses. He said he encourages charitable giving as a way for business owners to expand their sales and do good in the world; "The system doesn't work unless you give back," he said. "Don't overlook the need to give back. You can make better contacts through charity than through business. How thrilling is it to do something for someone else? I can't tell you why, (but) it's more fulfilling." Do you know a p rofessor who deserves t o b e recognized f or his o r h er o utstanding achievements?

Blaine H. Mogi! Pride Staff Writer In 1960, the California State Department of Education drafted a 230-page., 15-year master plan for the University of California, California State College (later CSU) and community college systems with the goal of saving the state's higher education system from "destruction by unbridled competition." At the time, those heady words referred to the competition between the three upper education systems. But with today's tuition costs rising rapidly at the UC and CSU campuses, the Department of Education should be more concerned about competition from colleges outside the state-supported systems than any internal threat. At a meeting of the UC Regents, Sept. 13-15, in San Francisco, a budget proposed by UC leaders would raise tuition fees by 8 percent to 16 percent for each of the next four years. If this budget is approved, annual tuition for UC students could soar north of $22,000 by fall 2015. With continued annual hikes, students entering the system that year could expect the cost of their diploma to exceed 7.

There isn't an economist alive B eyond t he t extbook M aking t he m ost of y our college y ears Students: let's put on our existential hats for a moment and ask ourselves the big question: why are we here (and by "here," I mean college)? Why are you— one specimen in the several billion carbon-based bits of humanity—on this path of higher education? Don't spout out some canned response about the terrible economy and having "no other choice" but to attend school. The fact is that you are here for you. The sad part about attending college at Cal State San Marcos is the perception of a "commuter campus:" one where every student goes to class, goes home and gets on with his or her life. The next time you're rushing to beat the traffic out of the Markstein parking lot, take a moment and remember that the "college experience" offers more than just a degree with your name on it.

This is a time to discover yourself—your beliefs, your opinions, what makes you happy. This is a time to make connections to friends, professors, and the community to build a network that will carry you into a career or other post-academic goal. We are all hurrying to "get out" on time, but sometimes we just need to take a breath and appreciate what a college campus can offer. So stick around a while after class, if you can spare the time. Get involved. Do something that will feed your soul. Join a club, a team or a group. Nurture a talent arid surprise yourself. Wander into the Cross-Cultural Center, the Women's Center, the LGBTQA Center or the Veteran's Center. Talk to the people who hang out there. Make a friend. Discuss what's going on in your life or in the world. Celebrate our Contributor different opinions, but stay true to yourself. Your professors have office hours for a reason. Don't hesitate to stop in and say hello. They are professionals with advanced degrees, and thiey can help you with questions or concerns you have about your major, graduate school or future career. Talk to them about their own academic journeys; they have years of experience as both students and educators. Building relationships with your professors will come in handy when you require letters of recommendation or are searching for jobs in your field. College is so much more than your class schedule. Don't shy away from the heart of campus. Dig in and find your niche. Branch out and network with people. You came here to learn, so learn more than just academics. Learn about you and experience college your way. who wouldn't make a 16-to-l return on investment a top priority in any budget decision. Unfortunately, politicians make the state budget, not economists. Fallis said the Chancellor's office has little, if any, political capital to lobby the state for money because it's required by its charter to remain neutral. Although thè office sympathizes with students who are overburdened by tuition costs, the most it can do is make budget recommendations and hope for the best. * 4.

A little more p arking for a "little" more money Melissa Martinez Pride Staff Writer If you are a student at CSUSM, you're probably a commuter. Therefore, you understand what it's like paying for parking passes. If you live on campus and own a vehicle, I 'm sure you understand what it feels like to pay for a parking pass (as well as overpriced rent and groceries), so it would be nice to have a parking spot close to the dorms. Yet you still find yourself racing through the dorms trying to beat someone to the only available parking spot. This year, CSUSM welcomed its new and returning students to use the new parking structure; that addition has definitely made an impact for those who may háve to walk back and forth to campus and their car. Now that I am a commuter, the parking garage is as full as I 've ever seen. I typically arrive to school around 9 a.m., and by then, floors one through three are completely packed, four is mainly empty and the congestion begins again on floors five and six. I am greatful for the structure but I will admit, driving to the sixth floor can be such a bother. I interviewed student Cynthia Pérez and she shared her thoughts on the new structure. I wholeheartedly agreed with Perez when she said, "[The parking structure] is pretty good because it is great to have such an easy access to parking as opposed to having to struggle to find some when you're rushing to class." As someone who is late almost every single day, I believe the new parking structure is a blessing—that is, if you're able to find parking. Though the new structure is both convenient and accessible, being a student and paying the prices to park in such a convenient structure has its downfalls. Perez continued,"The prices are incredibly hurtful to anyone's wallet. It seems like a huge convenience fee." This year, an academic year parking pass which is valuable for both fall 2011 and spring 2012 costs $643 (currently sold out). If you want to buy your pass for each semester, they are $338 separately. If you wanted to save a little cash for each semester, you could always chose to pay for the X, Y, and Z parking pass for the semester which will only run you $254. If you really want to save ~ some dough and you are commuting on a motorcycle, congratulations. Your parking pass will only run you $70 per semester. If you decide that it would be easier to buy daily passes, the rates are $9 for all day, $7 for five hours, $6 for 3 hours and $3 for one hour. Let's face it; who has this kind of money laying around?

Since then, the set has shattered Blu-ray sales records. According to MSNBC.com; Star Wars: The Complete Saga has earned over $84 million worldwide in one week on Blu-ray. Though sales are strong, the set is polarizing fans over the constant changes made with every release of the "Star Wars" movies. Some of the changes in this release include new dialogue added to the final Darth Vader scene in "Return of the Jedi," computer-generated eyelids added to the Ewoks in "Return of the Jedi" and new dialogue added to Obi-Wan in "A New Hope." Perhaps some welcome the changes and regard them as a new feature to enhance the experience. However, I cannot speak for this group of people. I belong to the vast majority of fans who love and enjoy the theatrical releases of the films. The average customer review for "Star Wars: The Complete Saga" is currently 2.5 out of 5 stars on Amazon.com. Skimming through over one thousand "onestar" reviews, the general consensus of the fans appears to be an overwhelmingly negative reaction to the alterations of the films. Like many fans before me, I am no stranger to the Star Wars editing controversy. Since the days of "Han shot first," fans have slowly lost faith in their beloved saga. What disappoints me most is the unfortunate reality that we as fans have no voice in the future of "Star Wars." How many years must we wait until Lucas will provide us with theatrical cuts in high definition? As a die-hard fan, I don't want to have a new, updated experience with my favorite sci-fi saga every five years. I want to remember the series for what it was, not what it has become. There is no doubt that I would purchase "Star Wars: The Complete Saga" had the set come with both the theatrical cuts and the 2011 Blu-ray edits. Though the set would cost more, I would pay (almost) any price to see the original classic films restored to visual perfection. While the Blu-ray releases may have a wealth of bonus features and documentaries, I will not purchase the set due to all the changes. Many of us fans will continue to wait for the theatrical cuts, however long they may take. If growing up with "Star Wars" taught us anything, there will always be a new hope... for a little fan service. I am not ashamed to say that I love TLC's "Toddlers & Tiaras" even though People Magazine and CNN say I should be. Here in California, child beauty pageants are few and far between. But in the southern U.S., pageants take over hotel conference rooms nearly every weekend showcasing children as young as three months. Many publications recently printed less than comprehensive coverage of the hit show after a 3-year-old dressed as Julia Roberts's character in the movie "Pretty Woman." You'd be correct in recalling that Roberts's character is a prostitute. Similar costuming includes a 4-year-old dressed as Dolly Parton (complete with disproportionate chest enhancement) and a 2-year-old dressed as Madonna. I will concede to the argument that beauty pageants for children are not age appropriate in any sense. Considering that the infant categories in many beauty pageants require nothing more than a $2,000 dress and a doting parent to parade the often drooling, crying or sleeping, baby across a stage, there is little support for the case that the parent is doing the pageant because the child wants to. This is the cardinal problem with children in beauty pageants: crazy, scary moms want to be on stage, so they live vicariously through their daughters (and sometimes sons). Actually, apart from the whole age appropriateness ordeal (and the obscene amounts of money people spend),.that's pretty much the only real issue with beauty pageants. When a kid lacks his or her own . agency to decide to go onstage, then you've got a problem. However, MaKenzie Myers of Montgomery, LA has more gumption than most politicians do when it's time comes to grace the pageant stage (YouTube her and you'll see what I mean). With catch phrases that include " I'm not doing what you tell me," "Well, where's my drink?" and "Put me down so I can go get back in line," I 'm surprised TLC hasn't tried to capitalize on some line of MaKenzie dolls spouting any number of her hilarious lines. I guess, if you really wanted to, you could say this ball of energy is just a bratty little girl with a lenient mother. And, I guess, you could say this promotes bad behavior, poor self image development, etcetera, etcetera. However, the portrayal of these children is meant to shock viewers and leave them, mouths agape, waiting for the next week's installment. I feel I should also mention that TLC has hired the best TV editing team that ever existed; they truly make the show far more entertaining than it should be. Shame on CNN for trying to make me feel bad. Sure, I wouldn't recommend the many CSUSM students with young children to watch "Toddlers & Tiaras" to brush up on their parenting skills. However, just entertainment. CNN: pick on somebody your own size.

For those who have yet to become addicted to "The Office," the scripted but much improvised show highlighted the many talents of actors such as Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson and John Krasinski. The return of the sitcom beginning their eighth season Thursday, Sept. 22 gave us the hope that the show can be equally as controversial and delightful with the absence of Michael Scott. It wasn't easy knowing that Michael Scott would no longer walk into the Dunder Mifflin-Sabre Scranton branch, but the season opened with a hilarious story line: planking . While some in the office awkwardly planked in inappropriate places (some expected, as Meredith was caught planking under the urinals in the men's restroom), we braced ourselves for the surprise of new management. We learn in the beginning of the opening episode that Robert California (James Spader) talked Jo (Kathy Bates), the CEO of Dunder Mifflin out of her very own job but returned to work out of the meeting room. Pam (Jenna Fischer) was especially sensitive due to the fact that she and husband, Jim (John Krasinski) are expecting their second child, a son, as well as Angela (Angela) expecting her first child with her husband, the senator (whom we were led to believe was gay). The biggest surprise of the new season was finding out that Andrew Bernard (Ed Helms) was named branch manager by Robert. Regardless if anyone agrees whether he can successfully run a branch, we can all agree that he truly cares about the office and his heart is in the right place. Personally, I was confused why he would be named manager, since I figured the producers were planning to go in a different direction as far as personality. We both know that Michael Scott and Andy Bernard are both known to cause mishap around the office. Last week's episode was one that would bring a smile to anyone's face—fan or not. As Andy handled the "manager expectations" nervously, not wanting to upset anyone or coming off as' too strict but also wanting work to get done, he and very disinterested Darryl tried to hire a new team of warehouse workers to take oyer since the old ones quit after winning the lottery. Since Phyllis has a very important order to be filled by that night, Erin, Jim, Dwight and Kevin tried desperately to figure out how to load the reams of paper into the delivery truck through trial and error, though many ended in error. However, they finally ended with the process they named "Senor Loadenstein" because it was "muy rapido." The buzz around the office consisted of the question "what would you do if you won the lottery?" As always, Jim and Pam (affectionately known as PB&J) stole our hearts with an argument of how they would spend their "fantasy" life after winning the lottery. Andy surprised us all when he took charge in getting Darryl back into the mood of actually working. Though I am accustomed to the mayhem Michael Scott always seems to find himself in, I am excited for the future of "The Office" and Dunder Mifflin-Sabre and I am curious to see how Andy will hopefully prove my expectation of failing wrong. If you weren't able to catch it, you can always watch it the day after airing on http://wwwiiulu.com. "The Office" airs on NBC every Thursday at 9 p.m. The third season of "Glee" premiered Tuesday, Sept. 20. It introduced a new array of songs a nd displayed the casts' many skills in classic rock anthems, musical numbers a nd even hip-hop a nd pop arrangements. The new season featured songs such as "We Got the Beat" originally by The Go-Go's a nd "You C an't Stop the Beat" from the Broadway musical "Hairspray." In honor of the new season, I have created my own playlist of the top "Glee" songs performed in previous seasons. I'll spare the readers by not mentioning the cast's Journey cover, "Don't Stop Believing." In the first season, Kristen Chenoweth's character April Rhodes performed the song "Maybe This Time" alongside William McKinley's Rachel Berry, played by L ea Michele. t he song is from the musical "Cabaret," I do not follow musicals, but really enjoyed this song a nd Broadway Star C henoweth was impeccable in her v ocal range. Characters Puck (Mark Sailing) a nd Quinn (Diana Agron) realized they were going to have a baby, but couldn't choose her name. Puck sang "Beth" originally by '80s b and KISS. The heart-warming ballad was touching, especially for a character with such e dge. The background vocalists offered support physically a nd musically. Will Schuester, played by Matthew Morrison, performed the final song of season one, "Over the Rainbow" with Puck playing the ukulele beside him. This song was the perfect ending for season one because it is such a classic, put a tear in my eyes a nd kept the audience on the e dge of our seats for season two. Season two's Britney Spears themed episode skyrocketed "dumb blonde" cheerleader, Brittany S. Pierce (Heather Morris) to a viewer beloved character. Brittany exposed her amazing dancing talents. The song she sung a nd d anced to, "I'm a Slave 4 U" a nd other popular Britney hits, shocked the audience a nd made Brittany an instant favorite member of the "Glee" cast. Season two also introduced viewers to the character Blaine Anderson (Darren Criss) created a buzz around "Glee's" William McKinley High a nd for Gleeks everywhere. Saying goodbye to boyfriend Kurt (Chris Colfer), Blaine a nd competitor glee club, the Warblers, performed the song "Somewhere Only We Know" by Keane. This song melted viewer's hearts because it musically intensified the love between Blaine a nd Kurt. &NOW Literary Festival c omes to San Diego different panels, performances professors who will also act as and installations over the course panelists.

Johnson Pride Staff Writer It should come as no surprise that Benjamin Mee's appropriately-titled memoir "We Bought a Zoo" is about a family who, well, buys a zoo. In his novel, Mee documents his experiences during the restoration of his zoo leading up until the opening day. In the midst of this overwhelming yet exciting process, tragedy strikes when Mee's wife dies. Instead of putting life and the zoo on hold, Mee uses the onset of opening day as a productive distraction from his loss. Mee's accounts of this time in his life are heartwarming and sweet and, at times, devastating. The balance between moments of tragedy and frustration are carefully balanced with humorous or even tense interactions between the humans and the animals. However, Mee's storytelling is sometimes difficult to progress through due to the minimal dialogue in the. text. His story often feels as if you are listening to someone recount a series of incidents while often withholding any conversations that may have taken place during the events. With the story being told from Mee's point of view, his illustration of himself is wonderfully humbling.

Haunted Trail, Haunted Hotel and The Scream Zone are three of San Diego's well-known places that are sure to make your blood run cold. These events are annual running from as early as late September all the way until Halloween night. San Diego's Haunted Trail has guests take an eerie nighttime trail trek with shocking surprises awaiting daring visitors. Trail officials emphasize that the trail is not for children under 10, and they do not recommended it for those who are prone to seizures or have heart problems due to the use of strobe lights and intense scares. The Haunted Trail opened back in September, and will remain open Oct. 12 - 16 and Oct. 19 - 31. On Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays the trail is open from 7 - 1 1 p.m. On Fridays and Saturdays, the trail is open from 6:30 -11:45 p.m. and this time will also apply on Halloween night. General admission prices are $15 on Sundays through Thursdays and $17 on Fridays and Saturdays. The Haunted Hotel is the San Diego Halloween haunted house attraction that has been around the longest and therefore has built notoriety. The attraction takes its guests down a "Hellevator" below the hotel and into terrifying themed rooms with zombies, ghouls and even Freddy Krueger himself. This attraction is open Oct. 12 - 16 and Oct. 1 9 - 3 1 . On Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays the hotel is open from 7 - 1 1 p.m. On Fridays and Saturdays the times are 6 p.m. - 1 a.m. and on Halloween night the hotel is open from 6 p.m. - midnight. Due to special effects and scares, the Haunted Hotel is not recommended for those who are prone to seizures or have heart problems. For more information such as an in-depth FAQ of the three San Diego Halloween attractions and various ticket price options, see www.hauntedhotel. coin (from this site there are links redirecting to the specific pages for the Haunted Trails, Haunted Hotel and Scream Zone). The Scream Zone, held at the Del Mar Scaregrounds, opened on Sept. 30 and will remain open to guests eager for scares Oct. 13 - 16 Thursdays through Sundays and Oct. 2 0 - 3 1 each night. The Scream Zone times are Fridays and Saturdays 7 p.m. - midnight and 7 p.m. - 11 p.m. on the other opening days. The. three attractions are the Haunted Hayride, The House of Horror and The Chamber. The Haunted Hayride takes guests on a haywagon ride beyond the Del Mar Race Track and up close and personal with various ghouls and creatures. The House of Horror has visitors venturing through a house with themed rooms and a terrifying twist ending (this attraction is not recommended for children under 10).

From Aug. 24 to Aug. 28, prominent Democrats including Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Howard Dean, A1 Gore, Michelle Obama, and Barack Obama spoke on behalf of the Democratic party at this years Democratic National Convention (DNC). Barack Obama officially accepted the Democratic nomination on Thursday Aug. 28, the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King's famed "I have a Dream" speech. On Invesco Field at Mile High, Stadium, Obama announced before a record crowd of 84,000 people, "With profound gratitude and great humility, I accept your nomination for the presidency of the United States." 10 cable and broadcast networks aired Obama's acceptance speach to more than 38 million television viewers, breaking all previous Democratic and Republican convention audience records. The convention attracted an average audience of 30.2 million viewers over the course of the 4-day event During his speech, Obama paid tribute to John McCain, saying of his Republican challenger, "Now let there be no doubt. The Republican nominee, John McCain, has worn the uniform of our country with bravery and distinction, and for that we owe him our gratitude and respect. However, Obama did attempt to distinguish himself from his rival a bétí « Bjju throughout his mm speech.

Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, the Democratic Party cheered on as Illinois Senator Barack Obama, the first African American candidate for a major political party, accepted his nomination. Over 84,000 supporters were present for during the 42-minute speech, making the gathering the largest at a Democratic convention ever. In MLK's speech, he emphatically declared, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." Two of his children spoke during the convention following a video tribute of their father to celebrate the historic occasion. See Speech, Page 4 on June 3, Obama, then the presumptive democratic nominee, did not officially receive the party's nomination until the Aug. 27 roll call vote of the party's delegates. During the vote, Senator Hillary Clinton successfully motioned to suspend the roll call and nominate Obama by acclamation. JoeBiden also received the vice-presidential nomination by a voice vote on Aug. 27, the same day as his address at the convention. The party's affirmation ofBarack Obama as their presidential can- didate marks the official end of a volatile and protracted primary season. The months leading up to the convention saw tension build around the seating of Florida and Michigan's delegates and the dissatisfaction of many Clinton Supporters wiBi the outcome ofthe primary.

BY JACKIE CARBAJAL News Editor On Friday, Aug. 29, a day after the close of the Democratic National Convention, the presumptive Republican nominee, Arizona Senator John McCain, announced Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his vice presidential candidate. Palin is not only the first female running mate selected for the GOP, but also the first Alaskan on a major party campaign. A first term governor, Palin beat out Gov. Frank Murkowski for reelection in the 2006 Republican primary and defeated Democrat Gov. Tony Knowles in the general election. In 1984, Democratic candidate Walter Mondale selected Photo retrievedfrom Wikipedia Geraldine Ferraro as his runA mother of five and self ning mate. Incumbent Presiproclaimed "hockey mom," Palin, dent Ronald Reagan defeated 44, got her start in politics in 1992 them, however, in a landslide when she ran for city council in victory. Wasilla, Alaska. Commenting to Fox News on the announcement of another female contender, Ferraro noted that McCain's choice could make a difference in the turnout of the election. "There are a lot of women who are disaffected by how Hillary [Rodham Clinton] was treated" during her run in the Democratic primaries, adding "I've spent a lot of time over the last 24 years saying, 'Gosh, I wish I weren't the only one.'" In her welcoming speech, Palin addressed the female vote, reaching out to Hillary supporters. "Hillary left 18 million cracks in the highest, hardest glass ceiling in America. But it turns out the women of America aren't finished yet, and we can shatter that glass ceiling once and for all," Palin said. This Monday, Palin confirmed reports that her 17-yearold daughter, Bristol, is preg- nant. In a statement released by the McCain campaign, Palin adds that her daughter is about five months pregnant, going to keep the child and marry the father. "We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us," the statement said. "Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support." The Palin family also requested that the media respect the privacy of the couple. The McCain campaign also stated that McCain knew of the pregnancy before selecting Palin and did not consider it to be a deterrent in the election. �T H E C IPRIDE H a r d to EDITORIAL STAFF EDITOR IN CHIEF VI RI DIANA PACHECO1SAAC MANAGING EDITOR BEN M .

Located in Millennium Park, the enormous stainless steel sculpture acts as a three dimensional mirror of the city. It is perfectly located so that left side reflects buildings to the west and the right side reflects buildings to the east—it is a sculpture that reflects earlier sculptures. The location ofour school's new "Focus" sculpture, ^k by artist Robert Freeman is located on a dirt mound. The sculpture was met with opprobrium by the editorial staff because of its obvious and awkward location. Its bright and spirited colors are washed out by sunlight and ignored by moonlight. Trees surround the inglorious dirt mound it stands embarrassingly proud \ on. The only way to get a good look at this 14-foot sculpture is to walk right up and stare at its ashamed k face. Aban- m doned sloppily M to the side of ™ Kellogg, the 14-foot freeform 'Focus' sculpture of dancing yellows, greens, purples, reds and blues is dwarfed by its surroundings. "Cloud Gate" became part of Chicago's community. It gives back to the people that interact with it. It is at the center, revealing what the artist thought to be the best of Chicago. Who is going to interact with our sculpture? And more importantly, how is it going to i nteract with us? Wall-E was the best movie of the summer BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer As the cinemas switch over from summer blockbuster mode to fall Oscar hunter mode, it's time to reflect on the outstanding pieces put forth this past season. Though there were many fine works put forth, two rose to the top. These high caliber films were Warner Brothers "The Dark Knight" and Disney/Pixar's "WallE." Both were tremendous works of entertainment, but I put it forth that "Wall-E" was the better film. I am aware of the large following surrounding "The Dark Knight," so I will address its merits and how it was bested. The best way to put it is that "The Dark Knight" was a more entertaining movie, but "Wall-E" was better film and piece of art. "The Dark Knight" was very good and I give it credit, but there were some elements that made it far from perfect. For one, it was too dark. It was so obsessed with being sinister that it stumbled a bit and lost some of the audience. It used irrelevant dark moments to make the audience uncomfortable and halted progress of the plot. The film might have been rated R for its calm viciousness, but it was not, which leads me to believe that it compromised itself to get the PG-13 rating and thus get more viewings. On the other hand, "WallE" remained spectacular from beginning to end. It was beautiful to look at. Every shot of the earth, the land, and space were treats for the eye. And that is just the art aspect of the film. It was engrossing in its story about humanity finding itself. Its message was clear without being in your face. The subtext of mankind losing its way so dramatically that it takes a non-human to bring them back is timely and impacting. "Wall-E" also had heart and emotion, whereas "The Dark Knight" failed to produce characters one could care about. They were both good films, but "Wall-E" had all the details nailed down, such as its soundtrack. The music to "Wall-E" subtly enhanced the mood, while many moments of the "The Dark Knight" had an overly dramatic scoring that ejected the viewer from the moment by being distracting. Besides both films having main characters voices enhanced by computer, both flicks will be remembered as the best of the 2008 summer. Yet "Wall-E" is a timeless masterpiece, which I can see cleaning up very well this spring at the Oscars. Attention to detail and a brilliant story made "Wall-E" the best film of the summer and year so far. Reactions to largest US immigration raid insensitive BY VIRIDIANA PACHECOISAAC Editor-in-Chief I always say the reason I got into the field of journalism was to educate my readers on issues they did not know about. Well, here is your lesson for today. Last week, the largest singleworkplace immigration raid in U.S. History took place in the small town of Laurel, Miss. According to an article published by the Associated Press last Tuesday, Federal agents reportedly swept nearly six hundred plant workers suspected of being illegal immigrants while their "legal" counterparts applauded. That is, for lack of a better word, disgusting. No, this is not some sort of over told statement in which I will try to convince you that we should have open borders. Nor is this a rant on how I feel migrants without "papers" should be allowed to stay in the country. My objective is simply to get someone—anyone—to ponder the whole immigration controversy from an angle seldom expressed in the media. It is not about being legal or illegal, Mexican, German, Pacific Islander or American. It is a matter of being human, and it is about tolerance. Simple as that. Think of it this way: children in this town are now not only not being sent to school in fear of being deported, but many are also without their fathers, while their mothers have been released for "humanitarian" reasons, awaiting a court date while being forced to wear electronic monitoring bracelets as if they are dangerous criminals. Panic has swept the immigrant community of Laurel, Miss., and my money goes to say these people are even afraid to answer the door. How would I know? I have been there. When my family came to the United States in 1993, and Prop 187 was in full rage, I clearly remember living in constant fear, overhearing my parents trying to decide whether they should separate my brother and I so at least one of us could stay here in the event they got deported. Yes, my parents were illegal immigrants and so was I, and no, we didn't jump a fence. We simply came to this country as visitors and decided not to leave. For someone who teaches classes at Juvenile Hall, I know very well the importance of laws and the reason they must be followed—no argument there. When it comes to the over-beaten topic of immigration, however, there is so much more to it than the black-and-whiteness of "this is the law and you cannot be here," mentality. People from all over—namely Latin America—often leave fami- lies behind and risk their lives to cross a desert in hope ofbetter monetary opportunities in the United States. If you could trace your family tree back to when someone in your family immigrated to the US, feel free to ask them why they did so. It is not that they are trying to be defiant for no reason. It is because sometimes that is the only option they have. There is a horribly misconstrued stereotype surrounding illegal immigrants, portraying them as wanting to come to the United States solely for the purpose of stealing healthcare and education benefits, and of course to take the jobsfromAmericans. The fact is, however, that most, if not all, of the "desirable" jobs that Americans cherish so much require a social security number, not mention the mastery of the English language, something most immigrants do not haverightoff the bat. As opposed to another horrible stereotype, most children of illegal immigrants do not turn out to be criminals who clog our jails. Sure, there are a few bad apples who give the rest a bad name, but that goes with everything. In turn, most learn to take education very seriously and learn early on what hard work really feels like. When one grows up with very scarce opportunities, one learns to not take anything for granted, and learns that education is the only way out. What is most upsetting is not the fact that 600 immigrant are now facing deportation, or that some women were put on electronic monitoring bracelets, or that their children will be pulled away from their schools and homes— for many, the only home they have ever known. Rather, it is the intolerance and ignorance that came out of their co-workers. Applauding at someone else's misfortune is the most disturbing fact, because it shows people's inability to show a human side, to show compassion and to feel anything other than happiness at another person's expense. Like it or not, there are millions of illegal immigrants in this country already, and more and more keep coming in every single day. Out of those millions, most of their children will grow up to be hardworking, educated individuals. I know because I am a product of it and have lived it and grew up with it all around me. What we are is eager individuals who want to get ahead, who want to make something of ourselves so that the sacrifice of our parents was not in vain. And perhaps that is what America needs: more people who will contribute to the beautiful diversity of this country. And that, indeed, deserves applause. �OPINION THE PRIDE Autoraffictrocities ever A more painful than Campus t BY CRYSTAL EVANS Features Editor Every time the word parking is mentioned on campus, there are bound to be at least a few moans and groans, and often a muttered swear word or two. Parking is a heated subject among the college crowd. Not only do we pay an astronomical fee j ust to have the privilege of parking on campus, but it also wastes a good chunk of our time in the mornings. If your f irst class begins at 9 a.m., you can live five minutes away and it will still take you a good half an hour to get from your house to a parking space. However, even though we complain most loudly about finding parking, this is not really the issue. If you are willing to walk a little f urther there is always a space, even during the f irst weeks of school. It is getting to the parking that is the issue. Approximately half of the 30 minutes it takes to get to school are spent getting through the lights on Twin Oaks Valley Road. Every large planned project, such as the building of a University, has to be well planned in advance. According to the California Environmental Quality Act, the entity building the project must do an environmental survey of the lot they plan on developing, and provide mitigation measures to lessen the impact it will have on the surrounding area. Most of these mitigation measures are related to t raffic, meaning they have to widen roads, add turn lanes, retime t raffic lights or do whatever it is that is necessary to help keep traffic flowing. Unfortunately, Cal State apparently did not plan as well as they should have, as we have all been stopped at every single light on Twin Oaks pretty much every single day. And if the timing of the lights is not bad enough, once you get into the school Craven Road is always backed up because everyone is using the right lane and the flow of t raffic is disrupted by the stop signs. With the Campus Way exit off Barham Drive as the only other entrance to the school, it is no wonder the t raffic is always so bad in the mornings. Let's hope as the college expands and enrolls more students that something is done to reduce the amount of t raffic present in the mornings and make it easier for everyone to get to a parking space. Tuesday; September 2, The price we all pay McCain, Obama collide on coastal drilling BY JONATHAN E. THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Obama is for change and as I like to say, McCain will make it rain. Yes that is a hip hop reference. I would first like to state that this is an opinion piece that I happen to be writing. I encourage you to form your own opinion and do more research on the issue if you desire. Write to the editor or go a step further and write for your school paper. There is a voice to be heard and that is your voice, our voice, a Cougar voice. Regardless of your political affiliation, if you are a donkey or an elephant or neither, discussing these issues is important as the deadline nears for the next president. A good place for finding relevant information on matters such as these is Google News. Offshore drilling? What is it? Well, there is available oil on the shorelines of the United States. While the effect would not be instant, ultimately, drilling offshore would lower gas prices stateside. Even though I drive a Honda Civic that gets 35 miles per gallon, I didn't like paying $5 this summer for gas and more recently $ 4.1 care about the envi- ronment but I care about the people in the environment even more. I hope research continues and automobile manufactures constantly work on improving their MPG. In the meantime I want the U.S. to become less dependent on foreign oil. McCain seems to agree. He wants states to be able to drill offshore. President Bush's recent announcement of his plans to do so sent the crude oil price stumbling down. Imagine how much fur• ther prices would descend if we actually began drilling. However, McCain doesn't want the states to be forced. That is why his plan simply allows states to drill offshore if they willingly chose to. Obama and McCain disagree. Obama wants to focus renewable energy resources. The both seem like possible solutions to our current gas crunch. I wish we could combine both ideas, t hat would really be a perfect solution. Both candidates are going to say things that they are not going to be able to do. This happens with all politicians regardless if they are red or blue. Don't give up. Don't lose hope. People die for your right to be able to vote. Come December, help decided who our next president is going to be and cast your vote. 0 m.

But not only that, he is in the hopes and dreams, the competence and courage, the Tightness and readiness of Barack Obama," declared Martin Luther King III. MLK's daughter, Rev. Bernice King, marked Thursday as "one of our nation's greatest defining moments." In 1963, Martin Luther King dreamed for change. Today, Obama pledges to be the "change you can believe in." From DNC, page 1 of the convention. Still, some Clinton supporters have been reluctant to throw in their lot with Obama after Clinton suspended her campaign in June and endorsed Obama. Since then, Clinton and Obama have worked to mend the rift in the party that formed throughout the primary season, though some voters insist they plan on writing Clinton in or voting for McCain. In her speech on Aug. 26 at the convention, Clinton addressed these disaffected supporters saying, "Whether you voted for me, or voted for Barack, the time is now to unite as a single party with a single purpose." "Barack Obama is my candidate. And he must be our President." The effect of the DNC on voters remains to be seen, though candidates typically experience a "bounce", or slight jump in the polls following their party's convention. McCain's announcement of Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate on the day after Photo retrievedfrom democraticunderground.com Obama's acceptance speech may complicate this however, as media coverage of this eclipsed post-DNC coverage on Aug. 29. In response to Obama's acceptance speech, the McCain campaign issued the following statement on Aug. 28 : "Tonight, Americans witnessed a misleading speech that was so fundamentally at odds with the meager record of Barack Obama. When the temple comes down, the fireworks end, and the words are over, the facts remain: Senator Obama still has no record of bipartisanship, still opposes offshore drilling, still voted to raise taxes on those making just $42,000 per year, and still voted against funds for American troops in harm's way. The fact remains: Barack Obama is still not ready to be President." The Republican National Convention will take place this coming week from Sept. 1 to Sept. 4 in Saint Paul Minnesota. �THE PRIDE Mentorship opens f or juniors and seniors BY JACKIE CARBAJAL News Editor The Faculty Mentorship Program (FMP) is currently accepting applications for anyfirstgeneration or financially disadvantaged juniors and seniors for the fall 2008 semester.

It is by far the best way to get to know a potential partner. Unfortunately, the cost of dating has soared with the price of everything else. The classic dinner and a movie date will easily cost over $50 and if you want to go out for drinks the tab can quickly hit the $100 mark. However, dating doesn't have to break the bank. With a little creativity you can come up with amazing dates that don't cost a lot. Local Bands- Several venues host local bands with cheap covers. The Jumping Turtle, located off Rancho Santa Fe, hosts a variety of rock bands and generally has a cover under $10. They also provide decently priced drinks and a full restaurant.

Maybe it's because they use filtered water instead of tap water for their dough or because the pizza sauce is made fresh with whole tomatoes (I personally think what sets them apart is their brick ovens, a rare luxury these days). Whatever the reason, Station Pizza, themed around the Grand Central Station in New York, is definitely a place to check out. They have some great deals going on that will make your visit worthwhile. 12 different types of pizza ranging from cheese to buffalo chicken and back again are available by either the slice or the whole pie for a price even a starving college student can afford. Speaking of college students, anybody who goes to Station Pizza and shows his/her CSUSM Student ID gets two slices and a drink for only $5! And these aren't tiny slices we are talking about, each is a good 9" of true New York Pizza. They also have 28" pies for anyone planning on pigging out or throwing a party. That means each slice is over a foot long, for those of you who are sick of your math courses. But don't think for a moment they only have pizza. They have great sandwiches, salads, pasta and even some delectable appetizers to choose from as well. They even have a good selection of beers to choose from. Visit Station Pizza, chat it up with the owner, enjoy the nice atmosphere. Once you go there I'm sure you'll want to be heading back there again and again. They're just three miles off campus, easily accessible with the help of a car. And if you don't have a car, or maybe you just don't feel like driving, no worries, they deliver also. You can find them at 1531 W. Mission Rd, or simply order up by dialing 760-891-0100. This is definitely the place to go if you need some good party food, or are just tired of eating the same old slop everyday. lia FOUNDER'S PLAZA Tues, Sept 2 - wed.

Radiohead's opening act, Liars, an Australian band that seemed out of place took a droning tone to their vocals. Their sound was gothic, and their performance was less than satisfactory. Occasional wolf howl screams performed by lead singer/ guitarist Angus Andrew and song titles such as "freak out" set no melodic mood for Radiohead's vocalist Thom Yorke's raw sound. At 8:30 p.m., Radiohead began their 25 song set list with "15 Steps" from there latest album "In Rainbows" and was followed by "Air Bag" which was featured on "Ok Computer" that made its debut in 1997. The stage was decorated with LED screens that draped across the backdrop, with each screen focused directly on each band member, changing color along each r iff and note played harmoniously. Soft blues to deep reds, neon colors flickered I M to black arid white silhouettes of drummer Phil Selway, guitarists Ed O'Brien and Jonny Greenwood and bassist Colin Greenwood. The show peaked at the sixth song, "Talk Show Host," which was featured on 1996 soundtrack for the film "Romeo and Juliet". The crowd immediately recognized the intro and excitedly welcomed the song with cheers and praise. Simple utters of "thanks", were the only words uttered by Yorke throughout the show. The set list continued with popular singles such as "Jigsaw Falling into Place" and "Just." Sadly, Radiohead missed favorites such as "Karma Police" and "Creep." The show slowly ended with the song, "Everything in its Right Place," in their final encore at 11:30 p.m. "The show was really pretty exciting, the screens in the background really made me feel like I was closer to the stage!" said Vanessa, a Radiohead fan that enjoyed the show in the theatre's 300th row. Radiohead quietly advocated their involvement with an MTV program called "Exit," to raise awareness for human trafficking and exploitation at their concert Wednesday with pamphlets dispersed throughout concert grounds, but they made no verbal mention of it during the performance.

Manneken Brussel Imports Inc., out of Austin, Texas, imports the genuine German hefeweizen. Georg I. Schneider began the brewery in 1872. The 136 year old brewery remains family owned and operated Georg VI. Schneider currently oversees the company. Hi-Time Wine Cellars in Costa, Mesa, sells 23fluidounce single bottles. The daik brown glass bottle displays a mint green label with shiny gold outlines. A cream and green colored bottle cap seals an ale with 6.2% alcohol by volume. The organic beer pours mildly smooth creating a three quarters inch thick head. Surprisingly, the head retreats within a few minutes leaving a solid lancet. The rich golden textured ale releases an exceedingly bitter aroma. A visual inspection of the recently poured brew excites the brain and taste buds. Most ales appear soft and transparent However, the ale's murky appearance distinguishes itself from the majority of ales on the market today. The beer enters sweet and soothing like the beginning of any popular fairy tale. A brief moment passes before a prickly wave washes over all areas of the mouth. The organic brew tastes extremely yummy as peculiar flavors of wheat, malt, barley, and hops swash around. The hps and tongue smack in sheer joy. Longer gulps generate a prolonged shocking sensation to the taste buds. Completion of the beer satisfies the stomach without creating a bloated feeling. Given the ales mild density the beer should pair well with lunches and light dinners such as chicken and fish.

Q a Tuesday, September 2, 2008 Cruisin' Grand A i IJ BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER A&E Editor My first experience with Cruisin' Grand was completely by accident. My friend and I were looking for a place to hang out while we were in Escondido. We had heard there was an Irish pub on Grand Ave. The evening seemed normal enough exiting the freeway and looking for the correct street and then we fell into a time warp. As my friend and I turned onto Grand Ave that a hot summer Friday night I realized we had wondered into the movie "American Graffiti" come to life. THE PRIDE American and international hot rods cruisin' up and down the main drag, parked along the Grand Ave and lined up along the side streets. Since that moment I have been a fan. I am a confessed lover of American muscle cars and enjoy a good car show, but what I love most about cruisin' Grand is the feeling that for one night a week in the summer I get to be a part of history come to life. Cruisin' Grand is a community event that attracts families and car lovers from all over San Diego County. Every Friday night from 5-9 p.m. from April through September hot rodders descend on Grand Avenue in Escondido to parade their beautiful pre 1974 classic cars. Grand Avenue from Orange Street to Ivy is lined with spectators and car owners examining the stunning cars. The city of Escondido posts changes to the schedule and provides a map for parking along with all the need to know dos and don'ts for the events on www. downtownescondido.com/cruisin. html. Nights are dedicated to specialty car clubs and kinds of cars. This September schedule begins Friday the 5th of September with Classic Fire Trucks and Police cars along with desert off road vehicles. September 12th is Packard night hosted by Packards International Motorcar club and San Diego Miata Club. September 19th is Nitro Night hosted by The Palomar Mountain V8s and special guests the oldest lowridercar club, The Dukes. Winners Circle is September 26th finishing the summer by giving die winners a chance to show off their prize automobiles one last time until next April. • •MÜH MB XJ f® MARRIED LIFE GRADE: C- This dark comedy staring Pierce Brosnan and Chris Cooper is about life in 1940's suburbia and a man's deceptive plot to kill his wife.

Her life becomes a wreck around meeting her birth mother, played by Better Midler, going through a divorce, and going back and forth between two affairs. Ultimately the characters are not engaging, and so is the movie. From the very beginning this film fails. The story of two menfightingfor a job is not clever and unoriginal. The plot of this office comedy does not have any depth and fails on its weak attempts at comedy.

Over the past five years, tuition has increased in the CSU and UC system by 94 percent and 84 percent, respectively. For lower, working, and now even middle class California students, a college education is quickly becoming afleetingaspiration, as many are being priced out of college. A new "groundbreaking" student movement could change all of that. California students made legislative history on Nov. 14, filing the first-ever student-led ballot initiative to freeze tuition in the CSU and UC systems. If passed, the initiative would suppress any further tuition increases for the next five years and would not permit subsequent tuition increases to surpass the rate of inflation.

Out of the closest CSU campuses in the area, San Marcos has the most expensive prices compared to San Diego State University's parking permits, which went for $135 for Fall 2007.

CSU Board of Trustees submit 2 008/09 budget proposal Student fees slated to increase in near future BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer On Nov. 13-14, the CSU Board of Trustees met in an open session to review the preliminary draft of a state budget request for the 2008/09 CSU academic year. During the brief plenary meeting on Nov. 13, the Trustees implemented an ad hoc committee to review last week's state audit issues on CSU executive compensation. The temporary committee will report to the Trustees during their Jan. 22-23 meeting in Long Beach. The Trustees also established a budget request asking Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for state funding for the 2008/09 school year. The governor will announce his proposed budget for the state of California by Jan. 10.

Having submitted the initiative, the group will wait on the Attorney General to draft the official title and summary to appear on the petition forms. Volunteers will then collect signatures from January all the way up to the April 17, 2008 deadline. In order to make the ballot for the November 2008 elections, the group will be forced to collect over 400,000 signatures by the April deadline. According to Valeria Fike-Rosales, a lead organizer for the group, Tuition Relief Now has compiled a database of over 1500 interested on-campus organizations, "creating a large volunteer base throughout the UC and C SU" "Because this campaign is volunteer-driven, we have really been trying to increase student organizing on each of these campuses in addition to reaching out to community colleges, high school students, parent organizations, and other community organizations that would have a vested interest in this campaign," said Rosales. Although the group has made an effort to reach out to the UC and CSU faculty unions, according to Vaeth, "they haven't taken a position." However, Vaeth maintained that there have been discussions with the two groups on the matter. "I think once this initiative is filed, it will start to shake out... where people place themselves in support of the initiative and then what they put towards it in terms of volunteers and resources. While the advantages to students are clear, Vaeth asserted that there is also a "corollary benefit" offered by the initiative. Anyone who signs the petition for the initiative must be a registered voter, a challenge that the group will meet by offering on-the-spot voter registration. As a result, Vaeth claims, "we anticipate registering at least 100,000 new, young voters. les, addressed the Committee on Finance saying "Faculty live Garamendi was quick to point with the consequences on our stuout the political underlying of such dents of your decisions.

Under the Higher Education Compact, CSU should see enrollment growth of 2.5 percent, which translates to approximately 445,000 students. However, CSU is expecting an additional 4,000 students in the 2008/09 year. So far, those 4,000 students are not funded in the budget, spelling out more financial trouble if universities do not receive additional funding from the state. The budget also calls for a three percent ($91.1 million) compensation increase for faculty and staff as well as a 2.83 percent increase ($86 million) to address faculty and staff salary lags. According to the California Postsecondary Education Commission, the CSU faculty salary lag is at 12.9 percent. "This budget request positions the CSU to maintaining access and academic quality," said CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed. "We are asking the state to fund enrollment growth, provide revenue to avoid an increase in student fees, and support compensation increases that will help the system make progress toward its goal of paying market-competitive salaries for faculty and staff."

Last Sunday, despite having a horrific second half, the Chargers managed to defeat the then 7-1 Indianapolis Colts in a brisk and soggy night at Qualcomm. The Chargers fortunes were not the same on Sunday, as they traveled to the east coast to take on the injury prone Jaguars in a game that had playoff implications for both teams. Jaguars quarterback, David Garrard started his first game in nearly a month, after coming back from a high ankle sprain suffered in their October 22nd game against Indianapolis. Garrard pleased the home crowd, completing 15 of 24 passes for 189 yards and two touchdowns. The Jaguars put up the first points of the game thanks to a 48-yard Josh Scobee field goal. Jacksonville scored again with 40 seconds remaining in the first quarter as running back, Maurice Jones-Drew rushed for a one-yard touchdown. The Chargers scored their first points at Tuesday; November 20, 2007 begins with a question... ... and ends with discovery the ten minute point in the second quarter, on a-23-yard Nate Kaeding field goal. Jacksonville quarterback, David Garrard passed to wide receiver, Reggie Brown through the middle for a 36-yard touchdown, bringing the Jaguars lead to 17-3 at halftime. LaDainian Tomlinson rushed for six yards to the right for a touchdown at the beginning of third quarter, bringing the Chargers within seven points, only for Jacksonville to strike again, this time on a David Garrard to Marcedes Lewis oneyard touchdown pass. The Chargers got their only passing touchdown with five minutes left in the fourth quarter. Philip Rivers passed to Antonio Gates through the middle for 24 yards. Jacksonville's defense held the Chargers through the rest of game, resulting in a 24-17 victory, knocking the Chargers off track, and leaving them questioning their future in the playoffs. The Jaguars are now 7-3 on the season. The loss brings the Chargers to a record of 5-5, however, they still remain in first place in the AFC West. The Chargers come back home next Sunday to face the 4-6 Baltimore Ravens at 1:15 p.m. on CBS. The 2008 CSUSM Student Research Competition!

O nline sales t his holiday s eason are expected to total between $45 billion to $50 billion, t his is a considerable increase in sales f rom 2006, in which totals reached $34 billion. The holiday shopping season spans f rom the middle of November, up u ntil C hristmas day. Shoppers are d rawn to online shopping mainly through the benefits of f ree shipping and the ability to locate the cheapest price on an item in a relatively short amount of time. Among the f rontrunners f or this holiday season's shopping websites are eBay.com, A mazon, com, Overstock.com, and Shopzilla.com. One of the most recognizable names on the internet is eBay. Since its inception in 1995, eBay, com has become a top ten website in A merica based on hits, eBay is unique to many of the other e -commerce sites, d ueto its use of online auctions that amass the m ajority of sales on the website. eBay is also unique in that the basis is for their service is to serve as the middle-man, connecting sellers to buyers, rather than directly selling products. Founded in 1994, Amazon, com was one of the first companies to sell goods on the web. Dependability and longevity o ffers A mazon users a sense of security. A mazon began as an online bookstore, and has since evolved to f eature a nything f rom music, to clothing, to b ulk g roceries. O verstock.com f eatures some of t he lowest p rices on t he web. Overstock sells s urplus, u sed and new items, and calls itself " your o nline outlet." Overstock's new items have b een said to set p rice s tandards, and are t ypically t he c heapest of any of t he m ajor o nline shopping websites. Shopzilla.com is one of the most u seful tools when it comes to shopping on the internet. Shopzilla, formerly BizRate, aggregates items f rom thousands of online stores to create one comprehensive search that allows users to find the best price available. Shopzilla c laims to "enable shoppers to quickly and easily find, compare, and buy anything, sold by v irtually anyone, anywhere."

Under the leadership of Dr. Mtafiti Imara, Associate Professor of Music, the two ensembles are looking to fill in their r anks with willing and able musicians. "We want to get as many musicians to come out and try-out as possible," said Dr. Imara. However, he also maintained, " "we want musicians who do have some experience." With the Jazz ensemble in particular, Dr. Imara emphasized, "although improvisation is a big part of [Jazz], but we do want people who can read music as well." Like any music group, interested candidates must t ry out and validate themselves in order to j oin either ensemble. Dr. Imara also noted, "it is a competitive t hing...it's not unlike the track team or the baseball team." While the group does demand a solid musical background, they are also looking to embrace a diverse instrumental arrangement. "We're looking for all instrumental musicians. It doesn't have to be a traditional Jazz ensemble, it can b e strings, it can be violin, it can b e any k ind of orchestral instrument." According to Dr. Imara, they plan to play at various j azz festivals, schools, churches, and two unspecified venues in San Diego. Students can also look forward to seeing the two ensembles playing in and around campus next semester. Interested students can contact Dr. Imara by telephone at (760) 750-8007 to arrange a try-out. The Jazz Ensemble meets in ARTS 116 on Monday and Wednesday f rom 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. and the Vocal Ensemble meets in ARTS 111 on Monday and Wednesday f rom 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Dr. Imara urges those interested to contact him as soon as possible so they can begin practicing for next semester. �FEATURES THE PRIDE November is Native American Month CSUSM's Native population has a place to congregate and give back BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER Pride Staff Writer The American Indian Students Association (AISA) is a CSUSM organization where students are involved in this months' celebration of Native Americans, as well a s activities throughout the year that celebrate and honor Natives in our community. As a part of CSUSM, AISA strives to educate students about Native culture and facilitate leadership opportunities for Native American students. The AISA is involved in cultural events and conferences at high schools and colleges within the community. AISA participates in Intertribal Alliances and organizes fundraisers for Native and non-native communities. The purpose statement for AISA is to "increase awareness and acceptance of American Indian Culture and to promote the educational experience of American Indians on campus by fostering a positive multicultural interaction both in and outside of the classroom." AISA provides spiritual leadership and spiritual events for Natives on campus. They have both a male and female spiritual advisor that students are welcome to contact for guidance. Most recently, AISA is organizing a fundraiser for a plaque to name Tukwut courtyard. The courtyard was renamed from Craven Courtyard to Tukwut Courtyard ear- lier this year and the AISA would like to provide a plaque to signify the name change. In cooperation with the Tribal task force, AISA is accepting donations of household items for the 29 La Jolla families that Jost their home in the recent fires. XlSA is also hosting a Thanksgiving Dinner for those families at Pauma Casino. People who are interested in making cash or household donations are encouraged to contact Claudia McCraine at mccra009@csusm.edu to make their donations. Check out the AISA's web site http://www.csusm.edu/aisa/ for more information on activities throughout the year to get involved in. The AISA is participating in are a sweat lodge and potluck ceremony in Alpine ori Dec 1. The potluck is a celebration of the Cherokee winter ceremony to "honor the long night's sleep of the bear." The ceremony starts at 3 p.m. and the sweat lodge at 4 p.m. Participants are encouraged to bring a side dish or beverage and a stuffed bear to donate to local children. AISA will be joining in a drum circle in Norco on Nov 24. The AISA has many opportunities for students who would like to understand more about their own native culture or become knowledgeable of Native culture.

Major League Baseball announced a profit of over $6 billion and for fans outside of San Francisco, the baseball gods have spoken and the federal grand j ury indicted Bonds on one count of obstruction of justice and four counts of perjury based on 19 lies. The lies range from not knowingly taking steroids and lying about being injected with steroids by longtime friend and trainer Greg Anderson. Anderson, who has been in prison since Dec. 7, 2006 for refusing to testify to a grand j ury about Bonds, was released Thursday. Which brings up the question, is he finally going to speak? Being the conspiracy theorist I am, the first question I asked myself was if there was a reason why Anderson was finally released the day after Bonds was indicted? I feel that since the All-Star game was being played in San Francisco and Bonds on the verge of breaking the homerun record this past season.

This doesn't involve the exchange of chimichangas for burritos and food, albeit good food, is not considered currency in Temecula. The Bank is simply your typical 'hole in the wall' nestled deep in the heart of Temecula's Old Town Front Street. The building, constructed in 1914, served originally as The First National Bank of Temecula. After enduring a foiled robbery attempt in 1930, closure during WWII, and a short run as an antique shop, The Bank was refurbished into a Mexican style restaurant in 1978. Priding itself as the second oldest restaurant in Temecula, the newly remodeled eatery still maintains t he ambiance of the Old West. Guests receive nothing short of attentive service upon walking through the double paneled doorway of the quaint building with its high ceilings and Mexican art adorned walls. On a warm day, patio seating is available with the view of not only other Old Town buildings, but also a fountain waterfall. Upon seating, the server will bring out tortilla chips and dipping salsa. As tasty as it may be, take caution in filling up on this complimentary appetizer. Meals range in price from $3.45 quesadillas to $11.95 carnitas or carne asada. The menu offers combination platters of up to three traditional Mexican entrees for $8.95. If you consider ordering the El Banco burrito, I suggest requesting the salsa to a minimum unless you prefer soup in your burrito. The carne asada burrito is a great choice. If you prefer your burritos packed with goodness, make sure you fill it Photo by Jackie Carbajal / The Pride up with the beans and rice that come with the plate. Drinks offered include Old Town Bottled Root beer, Horchata and Margaritas. Each entrée comes with rice and beans and select entrees include The Bank's signature guacamole in a decadent miniature tortilla shell. The Bank's historical significance and one of a kind featuresguests have the option of dining in the exclusive bank vault-will stay with you long after the fullness in your tummy subsides. If you remember to limit your chip and salsa intake and keep your combination plate to a minimum, you may still have room for one of the three dessert options offered. Aside from the choices of flan and deep fried ice cream, the $2.25 churro definitely takes the cake(so to speak). Filled inside with custard and served with whipped cream, The Bank's churro is a far cry from your typical amusement park treat. With this restaurant as a destination choice, you needn't stop there. Old Town Street itself boasts numerous attractions such as old time photography, live entertainment, and nearby wineries. On weekends, The Bank offers an alluring breakfast menu with some entrees served all day. For a dining experience that matches food quality, The Bank proves to be the perfect investment. BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Kona Brewing Company brews Pipeline Porter in Kona, Hawaii. Father Cameron Healy and son Spoon Khalsa founded the brewery in spring of 1994. The brewery has three main brews: Big Wave Golden Ale; Longboard Islander Lager; and Fire Rock Pale Ale. The brewery brews other specialty beers and limited edition releases, such as Pipeline Porter. The brewery mainly sells in Hawaii but also sells to other regions in the United States, Japan, and China. The brewery also operates two pubs. Kona released their limited e dition Pipeline Porter on October 1st. 100% Kona Coffee comprises the porter along with chocolate and caramel malts. The porter won a silver medal under the "Other Beer" category in this year's Australian International Beer Awards. The porter's label contains a surfer with a longboard making his way to the ocean to ride some pipelines. Dark brown, light blue and dark orange comprise the colors utilized for the scene. The porter's orange bottle cap caps a beer with an alcohol by volume of 5.4%. The porter pours smooth creating a small tan head. Naturally, coffee aroma dominates the lovely scent rising from the glass. The porter has a rich black composition. The porter enters the mouth calmly. Upon entry, gentle waves of sweet chocolate and soothing coffee wash all corners of the mouth. The porter continues down the throat leaving the mouth, tongue, and taste buds in state of comatose. The brewery recommends paring the porter with hearty soups and stews, roast beef sandwiches, pot roast and mashed potatoes, especially on a cold day. Skip Starbucks on Thanksgiving and stroll over to Beverages and More for a delicious coffee flavored treat. Pipeline Porter's smooth chocolate and coffee flavors clearly make this brew the best beer of the week for this semester thus far.

BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer After several months of work, Parking and Transportation Services has made significant changes to parking conditions on campus the most prominent of which is the addition of parking lot "F". Accommodating over 1500 vehicles, lot "F" is the largest surface lot to date at CSUSM. According to the Parking and Transportation Services website, other additions include upgraded parking signage, refreshed surfaces for parking lots "B" and "C", an extension of Campus View Drive providing access to parking lots "F" and "H". 3 m Access to parking lot "H" will be redirected through the new parking lot (lot "F") and the current entrance to lot H behind Markstein Hall will be closed. Parking lot "H" will now be a faculty/ staff and disabled only parking lot. To help fund these changes, parking fees for the fall semester have been increased to $248.00 and $315.00 for UVA students, with another increase is planned to be implemented later. Lot "F" will have the following features, added carpool spaces, 95 motorcycle spaces, drive up and walk up permit machines with credit card capability, emergency pole stations and a new entrance to parking lot "H".

U I ^ V / V / L V L J Ü JJRI^LV BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM Pride Alumn Photo by David Gatley/The Pride Zachary Simon ponders why he ever bought so many books for class. Saving money while going to college can be a difficult task. Yet one way to save literally thousands of dollars during your years at college is to simply not buy your textbooks. It sounds harder than it is but if you can handle it, there are a number of simple ways to not buy your textbooks and still pass your classes. First off, don't buy your books ahead of time. A lot of students stress about buying their textbooks, and making sure they do the readings. Yet stressing won't necessarily produce an A at the end of the semester. It's like getting nervous before a test; you aire only doing yourself a disservice. Instead of buying your textbooks before a class starts, wait until you're actually in the class for a few days to see if the teacher is really going to use the books. Teachers are required to assign textbooks for their classes, even if they are not going to use them. Plus, p ^ l j ^ l i yott looking f M ^ ^ d to for Fall 2006? many assigned textbooks are often only recommended and not required by teachers. More often than not if you simply attend class and pay attention to the lectures you'll pass without a problem and without the need of the textbooks. Of course, this doesn't work for all classes, and if you really need to have or use a textbook for one of your classes there are cheaper ways to access them than visiting the campus bookstore. For example, try borrowing the required reading from someone else in the class. Many teachers often only use the textbooks as a way to supplement material learned in class, thus you may only need the text once or twice during a semester. Classmates are usually more than willing to loan you a book, especially if it's only for a day or two. Another good method of gaining access to textbook information, if needed, is through the Internet. For example, if you have a membership to amazon.com you can actually access many BY PATRICK B. LONG Pride Alumn Jennifer Wlams 1 Senior Literature & Writing I jumped into the work force as soon as I turned eighteen, and worked fulltime for nearly twelve years. This time included eight years of military service, in which I signed up for the G.I. Bill, in hopes to go to college some day. I began college around my second year of my military service, working slowly, but methodically, toward my degree. Changing my degree a couple times, I seemed to start over every time. When I left the military, I had a goal in mind: college. Well, one thing led to another, and I got sidetracked. I went back to work fulltime again, chipping away at classes at night. I decided two years ago to devote my entire time to finishing my degree. I began my sabbatical from work in order to finish, finally after several years, my bachelor's degree. My company seemed happy enough to let me take the time and return when I was finished, but I had other plans. I walked in the graduation ceremony in May 2006, but had to return for classes in both sessions of the summer semester. So, two weeks ago, I actually finished my last class of my college career, I ,_ I J < K a Lots of Business!* g l l f e Tim Sabatini Campus Coffee . arti C• "My c lasses. f h||%!J>ey a re a sinterestingas ffitywere fÉfjl 18É111II181ÌIB1 B W t e stilli h FirstY« books in their entirety online, including many books used for CSUSM classes, without paying a penny. If you need a textbook for more than a few days, try simply using the library. Even if the book is not shelved locally, the library wilt order just about any book you need, for free, through inter-library loan. If all else fails and you must buy a textbook, visit websites like half.com to find textbooks at their cheapest. Publishers make their money by constantly releasing new editions of textbooks each year, keeping prices high. Yet, often the information contained in a new textbook edition is the same as in the older editions. Thus, if you need a 7th edition of a $100 book, you can probably find the 5th edition of that same book for literally $10 online. It's well known how expensive textbooks can be, so don't let them break your wallet; there are plenty of ways around buying and paying lots of money for your textbooks.

So what is life like after college? Well, it seems that it is exactly the same as when I entered. Thefirstthing I committed to was a vacation. I took my wife to Las Vegas to make up all of the time I spent at school studying and working. It was nice to spend my first weekend in years not worrying about my homework. I returned to my job, because I sat around not sending my résumé in proper time for any interviews during summer session, and found it was waiting for me. In fact, it was like returning home after several ears tofindyour room the same, but covered in dust. The company did not replace me, though, I wish they had. I spent all this time to return to the same job, I can't wait until my résumé catches they èye of a great company with large salaries and even better benefits. So, I worked on my résumé, spending a full week tweaking small elements on the résumé. I found out that it takes as much time as a full time job, to find a full time job. I'm slowly coming around to the idea that I will return to school. I'm currently looking at law school for my return in education. y �Jock Talk With Josh: What is and what w ill be BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Columnist Cassidy missed me twice, which could explain why he was sent down to the minor leagues. Jake Peavy showed him how it is done and hit me with a strike. I went to the Del Mar Racetrack a few times. I got to see 2005 Kentucky Derby winner Giacomo. He won and, of course, I tried to be a smart guy and bet against him. Now let's see if I remember I recently spent some time at how to do this. First off, I am glad the San Diego Chargers training to be back for my fifth semester camp. It was interesting to see writing this column.

It is for people that really want to create something. It is not for the people who just want to sit back and watch." He was absolutely right. It created opportunity for him at Cal Berke- ley, where he is now. Anyways, a short explanation for the new students about what this column is all about. It's supposed to be a sports column, but as many old readers know, I tend to speak on social issues and tend to anger more than my fair share of people. So as per the usual, my email address, sando026@csusm. edu will accompany each of my columns so that I can continue to get threats of a beat down. This year should be an interesting one, sports wise. We now have baseball, Softball and men's and women's soccer. I know I have been saying this for some time now, but expect more sports stories.

The change in weather inevitably leads to a change in beers—the sweeter and lighter colored beers and ales of summer give way to richer and more f ull bodied beers of fall. One beer that is perfect for the colder evenings of the beginning of fall is Birra Moretti. While pouring it, you will first smell the strong malt flavor and hear the slight hiss of carbonation. The beer is a rich straw color, and is best served between 41-45 degrees. The bottle is dark brown with a picture of a mustached man, holding a large beer stein. The man on the label's eyes are downcast, he looks tired andpresumably somewhat inebriated. This picture accurately describes the experience of drinking Birra Moretti—a quiet and calming experience. Much like the fall semester, the beer is heavy but not overbearing, bitter but smooth mmm • • • M enough to drink leisurely. This is not a beer for a night out on the town; rather it is best for quiet evenings after a hard day's work or study. First produced in 1859 in the city of Udine, in the Friuli region of Italy, Birra Moretti is a 4.6% alcoholic lager with a smell and taste reminiscent of some Austrian beers. The beer is now brewed and bottled by Heineken Italia in Comun Nuovo, Italy and imported by Star Brand Imports. While it is not widely available, Birra Moretti is mostly found at specialty beer dealers and fortunately in some Italian restaurants. While it stands alone well, the beer is best served with the warm and hearty pasta dishes of its home country Italy. While not for those with delicate palates, Birra Moretti can provide warmth during the chill evenings of the fall semester, remind you of the bitterness of being back in school and at the same time help you through i t Photo by David Baiter/The Pride W WWSMBI» BY Wtéñ NAME P ride S taff W riter Want to make a difference on campus?

However, "Lady In the Water" did not follow suit. Much like most of his films, "Lady in the Water" was marketed as a suspenseful thriller and much like the others, was anything but. Films like "Unbreakable" and "The Village" miss the thriller mark but cover the gap with depth of story and wonderful visuals within the film; making the films enjoyable on at least one level. "Lady in the Water" is about as deep as the children's pool, the visuals are mediocre at best and the plot is, well imagine turning the popular nursery rhyme "Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water" into a 2 hour long movie and you can get a good idea of what to expect. Of course Paul Giamatti and Bryce Dallas Howard turn in stellar performances but it is altogether too little too late. In case you didn't see the movie already, don't even bother renting it. If you were part of the unlucky few who did see the movie, my sympathies. Photo courtesy of waruerbros.com Why did Superman return? BY PATRICK B.

Then there was Kate Bosworth, the triple identities of Clark Kent, Superman, and Kalel (the last son I'm not sure what character she was suppose to be, because that of Krypton). In the movie, Superman returns was not hard hitting reporter from a five year absence. He left Louis Lane. Louis Lane is fearEarth to look for any signs of his home world, Krypton.

So, our superhero uses his > superpowers to hover outside of the home of Louis Lane and spies on her with his super peepers and her triple personality superhero. I can only suggest replacing her altogether for the now dubious sequel. My personal favorite character, Lex Luthor, was well played by Kevin Spacey. He was charismatic when needed, and plotted evil well. I only wish they gave him some new plan do plot rather than land deals, just as in the first Superman. Overall, the movie had some really good action, but most of that was in the trailers. The love story between Louis and Clark seemed to dominate the entire movie. It's really upsetting that I enjoyed movies like "The Incredibles" or even "Sky High" more than "Superman Returns". Bryan Singer should go back to "Xmen" and give the next Superman to Christopher Nolan.

XV NO. 9 irs one fight' for CSII Faculty and Students Ulf BY RACHELL REYES Pride Staff Writer Facti! '/Staff Cal State San Marcos faculty, staff and students rallied for fair contracts and affordable education on Thursday, March 9, in front of the Kellogg Library. "We wanted to let President Haynes know that we think it's time for her to demand that the Trustees reinvest in the CSU," said Lance Newman, secretary of the CFA San Marcos. "We want them to reduce student-faculty ratios and approve fair contracts for the unions." The Unite to Win rally was co-sponsored by the California Faculty Association (CFA), the California State University Employees Union (CSUEU), and the Academic Professionals of California (APC), and according to Newman, the demonstration was well-supported, with over 250 people participating in the rally. According to the San Marcos Chapter of CFA, the faculty Miloraia Facalig f Photos by Rachell Reyes / The Pride and staff agreed to have a two not to ask the state for additional year pay freeze to help the state funding.

"This has been a long-standing dream of Cal State San Marcos," said President Karen Haynes. The Center for Children and Families was made possible through a grant awarded to Cal State San Marcos from the First Five Commission of San Diego in the summer of 2004, providing $7,681,356 in funds to build the 22,000 squarefoot facility. An additional contribution from the 2005 approved fee referendum has made this ASI dream into a reality. The ground-breaking ceremony began with a delightful twist of "Hi-Ho ... it's off to Cal State we go," cheered by the pre-kindergarten class from the Early Learning Center, operated and funded Poullard wishes campus 'farewell Photo by Christine Vaughan / The Pride by Associated Students, Inc. With the construction of the new facility, the ELC will relocate out of their current leased-space, making Cal State San Marcos their new permanent home. Licensed to accommodate and serve an expected 300 infants and pre-kindergarteners, including the 48 from the ELC, the new Center for Children and Families will utilize programs See CENTER, page 2 Cal State San Marcos prepares to bid farewell to Dean of Students, Jonathan Poullard. Poullard will go on to work at UC Berkeley at the conclusion of the Spring 2006 semester. "The community at Berkeley is one that I can benefit from both personally and careerwise," said Poullard in explaining why he decided ofi employment at the UC. For Poullard, the CSUSM community served as a place where he benefited from his commitment to keeping student interest and learning at the center of his agenda. However, Poullard describes his Sari Diego experience as one of struggle over trying to blend his personal life with the quality of his career. "UC Berkeley allows me to earn a Ph.D. while also working," said Poullard. Berkeley is also a community with a heavy sociopolitical atmosphere, an element found intriguing to the Dean of Students. San Diego lacks the diversity and opportunities for growth that Poullard seeks in each location he travels to. So, after nearly six years of experience, he will be saying good-bye to Cal State San Marcos. When asked about his most memorable experiences at CSUSM, Poullard chuckled upon recalling the events surrounding the Michael Moore issue during Fall 2004. "The experience sent positive chills up my spine. The students were active in making the school their own at that moment, and it reminded me of why I am an educator," said Poullard. During his experience here, Poullard feels he's benefited from working so closely with the student body in forming positive bonds to give rise to strong leadership. He also commented that campus organizations are See POULLARD, page 3 Lunafest Coffee hour LGBTA Letter to the Editor St. Patrick's Day edition See News See Features PAGE 4 See Sports PAGE 5 See A & E PAGE 8 PAGE 12 �Parking frustrations aim to be alleviated Editorial Staff Editor in Chief Patrick B.

Another important question asked frequently of the Parking and Transportation Services Department is why not increase the faculty/staff parking fees as well, which currently costs only $14.00 a month, which in a semester is about $88.00 less than what students are currently paying now per semester. The answer, according to Director Dora R. Knoblock, is that some years ago parking became a bargaining issue between the Chancellors Office and the Union, and since the price increased in 1999 for faculty/staff from $12.00 per month to $14.00 per month, it has since remained the same. Finally, the common question asked of the Parking and Transportation Service is why are students who are here now having to pay for a structure that they are unlikely to use. Williams offered a conclusive answer. "Students seven years ago were paying to subsidize parking that you now use, and now you'll be paying for the future students," said Williams. It is a circle system that seems unfair atfirst,but at second glance makes sense. Both Knoblock and Williams agree that they are looking out for the greater campus community that is not just the present, but the future as well. 1,500 new spaces for students, according to Parking and Transportation Services. It will also include a drive-thru daily ticket machine, oversized vehicle and motorcycle accommodations, car pool parking, disabled access, and new pedestrian pathways which have never been implemented before. Lot F's construction is scheduled to begin this April and aims to be available for students for Fall 2006. The next big project, which is set to be completed in 2011, is CSUSM's first parking structure. This is where the ten-year plan comes into play. This new structure will be in the place where Lot N now resides, next to the University Village Apartments and Chavez Circle. The structure will contain an estimated 2,800 general parking spaces and it will be at least four stories tall. The project will cost roughly $48 million. According to Williams, the school generates approximately $3 million a year. Also, taking into consideration that the state does not assist in financing such projects, the money consequently must be raised through increased parking fees. With the student parking fees scheduled to rise steadily over the next few years, the hope is to build up a reserve of at least $4 million. According to Belinda Garcia, assistant director of Parking Services, the campus will have an easier time asking for a grant for CENTER, from page 1 A + S UBS P reschool s ubstitutes, a ids, a nd t eachers.

The new Center for Children and Families site is adjacent to the University Police Department, nestled at the northeast end of the campus property.

"It's about taking risks, it's about collaborations, and it's about moving forward together," said Peggy Kelly, the woman responsible for applying for the grant from the First Five Commission. "This center is a win for children, a win for students, and a win for the community. The Center for Children is one example of the best of what Cal State San Marcos has to offer."

Students and faculty are invited to attend this important event. "It is important for students and faculty to come. We have the opportunity to learn history from someone who was actually there. How many times in a lifetime do you get a chance like that?" said German Club president, Jean Scheuneman.

During the time he was here, Poullard and his colleagues strove to make Student Affairs a more visible entity on RALLY, from page 1 classrooms, and to negotiate for fair contracts. But negotiations have shown little progress over salaries. "A good education depends on good faculty," said Newman. "And we can't attract the best professors at the current pay rates " CSU San Marcos was not the only campus to participate in the statewide rally. All 23 CSU campuses hosted rallies and other public events aimed to send a clear message to each campus president. lard said, in summarizing his experience. As a final word to CSUSM students, Jonathan Poullard left this lasting message: "Students, make this campus your own. Don't just make this a place where you go to school, but engage in the events of your university; do not just be a bystander." BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN Pride Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos reaches the halftime mark in the tenweek competition of RecycleMania, the annual EPA sponsored recycling and waste reduction contest. With 93 colleges and universities participating in the program, Cal State San Marcos continues to strive for the RecycleMania title. But at this midpoint, one neighboring San Diego county campus stands between Cal State San Marcos and another national recycling championship. Point Loma Nazarene University maintains a tiny, but stubborn half percent overall recycling rate lead over CSUSM in the Grand Champion division of the competition. The Grand Champion division measures the combined results of the Per Capita Classic and the Waste Minimization competitions, and demonstrates the greatest achievement in both source reduction and recycling. In the Per Capita Classic standings, CSUSM finds itself in second, trailing by six pounds of recyclables per person. In this competition, institutions are competing to collect the largest amount of recyclables per person. While Cal State San Marcos pushes to regain their title, the campus proudly maintains a strong and powerful lead in the special division of Targeted Material-Corrugated Cardboard competition, with 35 pounds per person, a strong comparison to second place campus, Kalamazoo College, far behind the Cougars with barely 15 pounds per person. This year, the competition has been especially intense with traditional powers such as Colorado State, Washington State, and Miami (Ohio) chasing close behind the Cougars. Cal State San Marcos's Green Team and Blue Crew need the campus's added support as they work to keep the championship in San Marcos. Together, CSUSM can make everything count. "This year, we need to do more. Everything that needs to be recycled needs to be recycled. From newspapers, to old classroom assignments, every piece makes a difference" - Carl Hanson, director of the Green Team at Cal State San Marcos. "We want students to know Union. Solidarity. Unity.

As the CSU faculty, staff, and students wait for the negotiations, Thursday's rally was one of many events to come. "The fight isn't over," added Newman. "Everyone should get involved."

"We are proposing the ASI Women's Center budget to the Associated Student Inc. Board of Directors in April which we hope will fund the bare necessities of the center," said Cheyenne Barr, director of Women's Issues. Hosted^ by ASI, University Student Union Advisory Board (USUAB), the Arts and Lectures Series, and Student Leadership and Life Multicultural Programs, the LUNAFEST Fifth-year Anniversary presented films from, by, and about women. CSUSM students paid an entrance donation of $15 while other attendants paid $25. Before the filming began, there was a wine and cheese reception. In addition, there was also an auction for more donations. All the money raised from this event goes directly to the funding of the ASI Women's Center. "Funds raised from outside ASI will supplement programs, services and resources, and build on a savings account for the future of the ASI Women's Center," said Barr. These funds will also bring Advocate Scholarships for CSUSM students, mentioned Barr. "The ASI Women's Center is a pull-together of many on campus and community resources and services as a sort of 'information hub' for services already available from programs all around campus," said Barr. The ASI Women's Center will be student run, will advocate for support and will expand services to students. Resources such as pamphlets and referrals will be available for as informational tools. The center will provide a network to various groups on and off campus. The center will also provide counseling and support groups. Students can also visit the center for menstruation and contraceptive supplies. "The ASI Women's Center is a safe space for women to come for information, resources, services, and programs that affect them," said Barr. "It is a hub of information and a place for all students to feel like they have a voice and a resource." ASI Women's Center will continue to host many other events that will help raise money for the new facility. Currently, the Stand Up for Women campaign is accepting donations. Anyone who donates $15 or more will have a plaque dedicated with their name. The deadline for donations, with a plaque, is March 24. The ASI Women's Center will be located in Commons 201A, around the corner from the other ASI offices. The ASI Women's Center grand opening is scheduled for April 4.

Following a similar format to previous Coffee Hours, it was both social and educational, with attendants enjoying free coffee, lemonade and snacks. Local and international Students and staff also took the opportunity to get reacquainted and meet new people. Aside from the more tangible benefits, the lecture from Dr. Shagufta Iqbal also helped attract those in need of a coffee break. Dr. Iqbal is the principal of an all-female government degree college in Sibi, Pakistan. Visiting the United States on a Fulbright scholarship, Dr. Iqbal discussed her desire to apply U.S. teaching ¿mm methods to females in Pakistan. the Pakistani education system.

She says that the women feel more comfortable, both socially and academically, when learning with an all-female staff and student body. The body of her speech honed in on the types of reforms she hopes to implement in her home country of Pakistan, including a revamp of current curriculums and introducing a variety of new courses. There was also acknowledgement that teachers would need more education and training themselves. Of particular interest to testweary students in this country, Dr. Iqbal stressed the need for reforming the assessment/examination mold. She explained that in Pakistan, there is too much emphasis on a single test, that the norm of using a single examination to gauge students' knowledge. Current tests emphasize memorization and, in her opinion, are inadequate means of predicting students' potential success. During her speech, Dr. Iqbal also showed photographs of Pak- E g g D onors N eeded I mmediately Del Dios , j | JJ|||^ÉI)iiiing and B ar & |U-,:A Experience Grill H elp M ake D reams C ome T rue a nd E arn $ 5 y 000 a nd U p mmm i ML through Monday @ 11:30 am Closed Tuesdays 760-489-4800 w-ww.deMioscountnstore.com txtraordlnarywConceptlonsSténUt* s ¿Tttaatdinaty SpPiif- CÉtUtUt I P lease v isit o ur W e b s i t e at w ww.extraconceptfons.com o r c all t olMree at (800) 670-1837 f or m ore d etails istani schools and the devistation left after the October 2005 earthquake. Through these photos, it was clear that a lack of technology and facilities present huge obstacles to Pakistanis gaining an education. Often there is no plumbing, and children sit on the floor because they have no desks. Some classes are held without a physical classroom, resulting in teachers lecturing to their classes i nihe hot desert sun. "I was shocked at the condition of their schools and lack of financial aid," said Aya Okada, an international student who attended the International Coffee Hour. After hearing Dr. Iqbal's lecture, it was evident that the U.S. education system had made a good impression on her. She plans on applying many U.S. teaching techniques to schools in Pakistan, listing such methods as student-involved instruction, reduced test anxiety, research/ activity orientation, and needbased technical skills. "[There are] so many issues, I could talk for hours and hours," said Dr. Iqbal about the obvious factors that affect education reform. But she remains optimistic about Pakistan's future. $430 billion have been budgeted for the nextfifteenyears in a governmental program called "Education for All." While it is a vital cause, Dr. Iqbal said that "reaching this goal will depend on [Pakistani governmental] leadership." �Cougar Pride on the Prowl Photo by Chrisitine Vaughan / The Pride Energized with campus spirit, C RASH and Freshman Casey Evans enjoy the delicious taste of "Think Blue Week", sponsored by A SI. The week-long festivities aimed at uniting students and promoting Cougar pride, said Kellie Klopf, vice president of communications for A SI.

BY SUMMER CONNERY Pride Staff Writer Fill 'er up! inter to win $100 Gas Card from ASI BY KARIN REYES Pride Staff Writer SAN MARCOS 1 003 W. San Marcos A; Via Vfera Crtiraoms.ftmii the Resfofrant-- R w) 7 52-1826 visit our new website w ww.tanattheislandsxom Just by attending an ASI sponsored or co-sponsored events students have a chance to win a $100 Shell Gas Card. With the continuing rise of gas prices and tuition, Commuter Student Services developed the Gas Card Program. The Gas Card Program is a chance for students who attend ASI sponsored and co-sponsored events to enter in a monthly drawing to win a $100 gas card. "The goal was to provide a useful and needed service for the 90 some odd percent of students that commute from throughout the county to our campus," said Director of Commuter Student Services, Jeremy Mill. Some students may be unaware of the program or free gas incentive, but 'since the programs initial start in September of 2005, there have been nine winners from the Fall semester and five from Spring semester. When a student attends any ASI event, he or she is eligible to place one ticket into the drawing for each event that student attends within that month. The drawings are held on the last business day of each month with the winner being contacted with the information that was provided on the ticket. If for some reason the winner does not respond or pick up the card within one week from initial contact, another winner is chosen. A student has the possibility to win Food Mart Photo by Chrisitine Vaughan / The Pride every month if their name is drawn, however, there are some restrictions. A student cannot win more than one card per month, and students that work for ASI (Programming Board, Board of Directors, intramurals, or Recreation) are not eligible to enter the drawings. The gas cards are for Shell Gasoline and are accepted at all Shell Gas Stations. The nearest Shell Station is about 3 miles from the campus at the cross-section of San Marcos Blvd. and Grand next to In & Out. The gas card program will run until the end of the semester.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer The eager, the apprehensive, the lucky few who could find close seats, all spread into Com 206 last Tuesday at 8pm to attend the latest presentation of the Sextoys Workshop. As the presentation was readying to begin, student Christine Weir, a junior with a double major in social science and women's studies, learned about the event from other students passing out flyers in her class. When asked if she had any expectations, she replied that, "I've never been to a 'workshop' before, but I'm looking forward to seeing how this stuff works." Speaking with her further about whether this kind of event was good for the campus, she believes "it helps make the campus more progressive, and ease negative stereotypes about sex-toys." Amid the ample display of erotic tools and seasonings, the phallic and fakebreast-like balloons, students looked about for familiar faces and snacked on cookies served from a baking mold resembling male genitalia and drank soft drinks, but mostly hoarded energy drinks from an ice container that, sadly, only resembled a bucket. Sophomore and computer science major, Muenge Loundu, who had clearly never been exposed to anything related to sextoys, said he was expecting, if anything, "some instruction on how and why to use them." Even if a little apprehensive, he had no trouble saying: "I'd go even if the event wasn't on campus, I always like to learn about new things, and this is something I knew virtually nothing about." Mr. Loundu also felt that it was, "good to have it on campus, to make more people aware." Though last Spring's event was organized by the Women's Studies department, this year the task was in ASI's hands. The audience was thusly welcomed by organizer Cheyenne Barr, who took a moment to alert students to other events celebrating 'Her-story' month. Attendants were also encouraged to participate in raffles for both the workshop and the regular drawing open to all who attend an ASI event and are interested in winning such student-friendly prizes as 100$ of gasoline. Next to the stage was Dr. Ghiara, or as some affectionately call him, 'Dr. G." He began his lecture with a seemingly serious story about 'men in dark suits' coming to censor the presentation, primarily his slide show. It was then that he guided the laughing crowd through an Photos by Zachary J. Simon / The Pride Above: Dr. Ghiara explains the science of our systems. Right: Presenters Crystal and Honey help us to understand and enjoy. Bottom-right: Gentlemen, meet "Gigi." assortment of photos displaying cute kittens and proud roosters. (Those unaware of the slang-pun implied here are welcome to email the Pride for further explanation.) Once everyone settled, Dr. G then proceeded to explain in very simple terms the precise functions of the female and genitals and the human sexual response, emphasizing the relationship between mental and physical stimuli as well as the individual nature of our sexual selves. There is, to those concerned, much natural variation between one person and the next, specifically in what they find pleasurable. Dr. G also gave a brief explanation of the both enigmatic and, for some, irrelevant 'g-spot' as well as a history of Kegel exercises and how scientifically recommended they are. Following the lecture, a Q&A session rewarded those who paid close enough attention to both the subject matter and its significance. Naturally, some prizes drew more hands than others. Dr. G. also emphasized his desire to raise money for a cancer research fund, offering free professional and private sex consultation to those who donate to the cause. Those interested should contact consults@DrGonline.com The women of Passion Parties themselves kept things both fun and relaxed, offering free samples of pheromone oils and an all natural 'enhancement gel' promised to greatly increase sexual experience for half a day; half a dozen of each gender was quick to their feet to step into the nearby restroom. Some of these volunteers came back smiling, others smiling a lot. Naturally, the toys themselves _ _—.

Students opened their mouths wide, either stunned or mesmerized by the many feats of engineering and novelty ... though the room grew noticeably, if predictably, quiet at the introduction of the 'playful plug.' Calm, yet still attentive and eager to laugh, senior liberal studies major, Juana Molina, reflected a moment to compare this workshop to last Spring's event, held in the much larger Clark Field House. "These presenters had lower priced items, and a smaller audience made it seem more interactive." The unofficial Passion Parties motto of "a little Aribration never hurt anybody," was clearly convincing, as more than half the attendees stayed behind to either discuss the presentation or visit the Passion Parties ordering table, where they offered hand jobs. This reporter got one himself, amazed at how good it felt to have one of the presenters put on a plastic textured mitten and rub massage oil onto his hand. In addition to such demonstrations, they also offer the highest of confidentiality to those ordering their products. Catching up with Ms. Christine Weir again, it was clear that she'd been pleasantly surprised, particularly by "how much .health related information they provided ... it (the whole event) was great." John Hall, a sophomore majoring in Biology, and another who clearly never considered sex-toys a major factor in their lives, also spoke well of the event. "Initially, I just went along with my friends, but now I feel these things could help anybody. Speaking with Cheyenne about any resistance she received to putting on another workshop, she was happy to say that there were only a couple people "concerned that the event would promote immoral-intercourse, yet virtually all of these things could be used solo." She went on to remark that something like a sex-toys workshop on campus is "like the second course to sex education, and for some it's the first." Dr. Ghiara was also very adamant in his stance on issues surrounding the controversy. "Encouraging people to know more about themselves is not advocating hedonism." As to issues of hesitation or hostility towards supporting such an event, or of having to constantly defend its 'educational value,' he admitted that it was certainly something to consider, "but if this were a more residential college that wouldn't be as big an issue." He also brought to light a bit of American context with a slightly mortified laugh, pointing out that in many of the states that outright criminalize sex-toys, the open sale of automatic weapons is perfectly legal. Honey and Chrystal, of Passion Parties, are both CSUSM alumni and former ASI members. They've brought their passion to campus before, but only as vendors at last year's performance of The Vagina Monologues. Typically they're invited to private homes, but both agreed they 'd love to present at universities more often because, as Chrystal points out, "sex is everywhere, but sex education isn't." To anyone still uncomfortable with the idea of a sex-toys workshop on campus, Honey explains warmly how "continued conversation about sex and sexuality provides people more comfort with their bodies and their partner's body." Once more, Honey echoes the evening's clear stance that it's not merely 'permissible' to provide these kinds of venues; "It's important to equip students with the tools to make healthy decisions about their sex lives." �Jock Talk With Josh BY JOSH SANDOVAL Special to The Pride The u pcom- ing sports weekend for San Diego will be an alltime great. It will also be a great opportunity to show off San Diego to the world. i It's not often that playoff games take place in San Diego, because the Chargers and Padres play in their respective postseasons about once every decade. During this weekend, however, San Diego will have playoff fever. On Thursday March 16, the NCAA Men's basketball tournament will kick off with first round play at Cox Arena on the campus of San Diego State. The March Madness tourney is something that every sports fan needs to experience. I have not had the opportunity to attend an NCAA tourney game, and if I don't get a chance to go to the first round, then maybe I will get a shot at the second round which will be. played on March 18 at Cox Arena. The first round always sees plenty of upsets. One No. 12 seed seems to always beat a No. 5 seed on the first day, but don't get too upset-minded, though, because no 16 seed has ever beaten a No. 1 seed, so don't forget about that when filling out your brackets. If the NCAA tourney wasn't enough on Saturday, the World Baseball Classic Tournament semifinals will be held at Petco Park in downtown San Diego. I have tickets for both games which will take place at noon and 7 pm. Maybe I will be able to sneak in a second round game of the NCAA tourney in between the two baseball games. The San Diego sports weekend will officially end on Monday, March 20, when the WBC championship game takes place. On January 24, I predicted a Dominican Republic versus United States championship game. I stand by that prediction with a forewarning that Venezuela looks strong, so don't be surprised to see them take the Dominican's spot. San Diego athletes will also get the opportunity to shine. The SDSU Men's basketball team will be playing in the NCAA tournament and has an excellent chance at winning a game since they have two likely future NBA prospects in Brandon Heath and Marcus Slaughter. Mohamed Abukar gives SDSU a third scoring threat and any team that has three players who average 14 points or more per game definitely has a shot to shock some teams. In the other sport, Jake Peavy will have a spotlight on him if the United States WBC team makes it to the semifinals because Peavy is the probable starter. If Mexico makes it to the semifinals, then another Padres player, Vinny Castilla, will get some attention. The Mexican WBC team captain would be playing just 30-minutes from his home country, at his home ball park in front of the world.

Test Y ourself AN ARMY OF ONE' U .S.ARMY �Art can get under your skin BY PIYAMAS SABLAN Pride Writer Students across campus express their individuality through numerous mediums. Clothing, mode of transportation, hairstyles, and lingo give clues to their personality. Tattoos are no longer limited to certain stereotypes but are now used as a means of expression by a variety of people. People can't judge what "type" of person is prone to getting a tattoo because the range has expanded to the point of non-existence. Tattoos are no longer synonymous with drunken sailors or leather clad rebels without causes. Gone are the days of tattoos being only socially accepted on men. Currently, there are so many people that have tattoos that it's probably harder to find someone who doesn't have one. A lot of individuals get tattoos that are really personal and mean something to them. Some people even create their own tattoo designs because the design is unique and accurate to who they are and what they want to express about themselves. There are of course individuals who get tattoos for purely aesthetic reasons or because tattoos happen to be the "in" thing. They may choose a tattoo by its popularity and not necessarily its meaning. These people probably have tattoos of dolphins, flowers, butterflies, or tribal bands they picked off a wall or their tattoo artist's portfolio. They probably have belly ring or tongue piercing scars to remind them of the days when piercings were the in thing. Some of them will probably regret their tattoos and eventually end up having them removed. Where a tattoo is placed is almost as important as what kind of tattoo is chosen. A lot of people get tattoos in places that aren't visible when wearing a t-shirt and jeans or whatever attire they may be required to wear at work. A lot of females tend to get tattoos on their lower back so that it's visible when low pants or short tops are worn. Males seem to get tattoos wherever they deem aesthetically best. There is no norm to predict who around you may have a tattoo. The boisterous guy in class with piercings and a mohawk may be a virgin to the ink needle while the quiet introverted girl with glasses who sits at the front may have her whole back and arms covered with an ornate tattoo design. Hopefully, most people get tattoos to feed their individuality and not to feed pop culture's "what's hot today" top ten. Even if a tattoo is later removed, scarring is still visible and the experience of getting the tattoo lingers in the cranium so that the tattoo lasts basically forever. People should take heed when selecting a design and place for their tattoo. People should also shed the stereotypes they've been conditioned to accept for the tattooed and not judge someone superficially. In a world where things once considered extravagant are now mass produced, individuality is a hard path to walk and a harder path to create for oneself. Letter to the Editor In the Feb. 28th article, "LGBTA keeps a low profile on campus," we the members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender & Ally Student Organization want to thank Natasha Heckendorn for taking the time to learn about our group and for educating the CSUSM community. She is the first representative from the newspaper to acknowledge and give us exposure in Pride. As much as we are grateful for this exposure we want to respond to the statement of "low profile." Many student organizations on campus function remarkably well with "noticeably low" numbers. We are such an organization. We do want to address the comments concerning campus climate. We realize that there may be small numbers of reported hate crimes, but we want to offer a perspective on why the reports are low. We believe the incidents occur on a fairly regular basis, but because there is risk involved in reporting such incidents, people are less likely to come forward to report these incidents. According to the FBI (2000) the most frequently reported single hate crime offense was intimidation, which accounts for 34%. Hate crimes against LGBT individuals, like other crimes against oppressed groups, such as racial discrimination and sexual crimes, are personal and are more difficult to report to the authorities. Such reporting puts an individual in a position where they have to come out and could ultimately be subjected to added harassment. We suggest that reasons for the low number of reported hate crimes might be more complex and could be more of an indicator of the lack of safety for our members on campus. We as an organization realize that there is a need for educating our campus about LGBT and those issues that affect us. We would like our campus newspaper to continue to educate the community on LGBT matters and inform your readers about how they can act as our allies.

The potential ban is significant, but I reckon that most Americans would prefer to either praise or denounce abortion itself. So let's do that. I like to sum up the abortion issue in three basic notions: Notion #1: The abortionists (separate from the more numerous passive prochoicers) suppress their consciences in rejecting the embryo as human life, and distort concepts like "choice", in order to (a.) retain some power in a world that they believe hates women, and/or (b.) advance their work as diehard apologists for selfish and irresponsible behavior. Notion #2: The anti-abortionists (I'll admit, some of them are bigoted, militant, and overbearing) can see the forest and (like abolitionists before them) will be on the right side of history, because favoring the opportunity for life to proceed naturally over an unnatural convenience will always be more progressive. Notion #3: George W. Bush was right about one, and maybe only one, thing: In time, the abortionists will lose. Eventually the public will decide that this particular form of death/murder is unnecessary, and public policy will bless its desire. Many politicians on the left will be observed quietly celebrating without the monkeys on their backs. So that's my take on the abortion. I'm sure that you should agree; so go ahead. In other news, I met a nice girl last week and she wants to go out. I also met Alexis de Tocqueville and he wants me to believe that equality can be a threat to liberty. Tell me: Should I ditch equality, and deprive other females of an equal opportunity to be with me by pursuing this nice girl? Or should I bolster equality, apologize to this nice girl, and give myself back up to the female community? If I choose the latter (extreme equality) do I pose a threat to the liberty of so many others? Will the government come along someday and restrict folks from committing to one person? Will we be forced to share our love with others (I bet this doesn't sound too bad to some of you)? Oh, the life of a political theorist! John Locke, where are you when I need you the most brother? The lesson: Take an active interest in your studies, for you might just find yourself in a position to preserve or destroy liberty someday. I'm going out with the nice girl.

BY JENNY NGUYEN Pride Staff Writer "Free" is a word that is loved by all, but it is loved more so by college students. It seems that all college Students are broke, yet many are spending a lot of money for something that they can get for absolutely FREE! Students are always looking for some kind of f un and entertainment; what better way is there than to go to the movies! The Cougar Movies Series is in its second year and is offering free movies every Tuesday night, all semester long for students, staff, faculty, and guests. The movies are generally shown in the Clarke Field House/ University Student Union, with the exception of two movies that will be showing in Arts 240. "There are free movies on campus?!" said Business Administration major, Glenn Ramos. "I have no idea what's free on campus; I just assume they charge us for everything." Tim Bills, the Assistant Director at the Clarke Field House explains that the Cougar Movies Series is primarily sponsored by the University Student Union Advisory Board, Associated Students, Inc. and also by Student Life & Leadership. For movies that are shown on campus before their DVD release date, Cal State San Marcos pays $750 to the movie distribution company, Swank Motion Picture, Inc. for the rights to show the movie. For movies that have already been released on DVD, the cost is $415 to show it on campus. According to Mr. Bills, funds to pay for these movies come from student fees. When asked why these movies are shown just one night a week, and not throughout the week, Mr. Bills replied that the school has a contract with the distribution company that limits the showing of the movies to a one-time only. It would cost a lot more to show the same movie more than once. As to why the movies are shown on Tuesdays nights, Mr. Bills says that in the past, movies were shown on the weekends as non-alcoholic social programming. The number of attendees was low when movies were shown on campus during the weekends. This is why they are now on Tuesday nights. With an average of about 75 attendees, Mr. Bills hopes to attract more viewers. Glenn Ramos thinks that the student fees that are put towards Photo courtesy of Sony Pictures this program is money well spent, if there is a great number of people interested and attending "if I wasn't already busy on Tuesday nights, I would go," says Ramos. "But it is great for those that live on or around campus " Movies shown on campus were chosen at the beginning of the semester in the Student Organization Council meeting. Student members of the USUAB, ASI program board members, and representatives from the club organizations all had input into what movies they wanted to be shown. "We chose and voted for not only great blockbuster movies, Photo courtesy of Roadside Attractions but also for movies that corre- ness Model is from the holistic lated with what will be going on standpoint, encompassing physiaround campus," says^Bills.

This is a very difficult task that requires extreme talent, according to Rodda. "The most I've ever played was three characters in a play, but never eight!

How To... Celobrate St. Patrick's Day BY AMANDA KEELEY Pride Staff Writer St. Patrick's Day is Friday, the one day everyone is Irish and a great day to party. In Ireland, public houses (otherwise known as pubs for short) are a huge part of social life and act not only as bars, but meeting places, social clubs, post offices and grocery stores, according to Irelandseye. com. Luckily, there are plenty of exciting events and places to go to celebrate in Southern California. Starting with San Diego, in the Gaslamp Quarter is Shamrock 2006. According to Signonsandiego.com, they roll out 30,000 feet of green astro turf lined with Irish goodies such as face painters, stilt-walkers, hat makers, green martinis and plenty of green beer.

This event has a $20 admission charge and lasts from 4:00p.m until 2 a.m for those who are 21 and over. If an authentic Irish experience is what you want, then pubs are great places to feel like an Irishman or Irishwoman.

What was once a tangled mass of steel girders and plastic cover sheets last year has been replaced by a bustling collection of professor's and department's offices with stylish, modern classrooms. It's sudden, and to some, unexpected appearance was followed by a flurry of gossip and nay-saying rumors by staff and students, some of whom had still heard little or no official news about the new building.

The Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender and Allies , Student Organization keeps a low profile to avoid risks of being further alienated from campus life. The LGBTA has been active on campus for about three years and has about approximately five to ten active members. Even for a smaller campus,fiveactive members is noticeably low. One explanation for this lack of participation, according to the LGBTA members, is due to many students, who identify or associate with the LGBTA, feeling reluctant to 'come out' to other students.

There have been three incidents involving minority groups in the last two years, all recorded as 'minor'.'The most recent was written in ink in a men's restroom. It is still unclear what the vandal meant by the words, "sauce bag". Another incident was afightin the parking lot of a Women's Studies dance that took place almost a year ago. The LGBTA's banner was also stolen. Other than these reported incidents, the University Police Department does not have an extensive record of hate crimes committed on campus. While the LGBTA students may feel uncomfortable on campus, there haven't been any official threats. "I don't have any reason to believe that LGBTA students are at a higher risk of mistreatment, however, if anyone has something to report, we'd gladly take it," said Miller. Perhaps awareness is as much a factor as reluctance, suggests CSUSM student, Heather McKown. "I've never heard of it(LGBTA), but I would definitely go to a gender bender."

Counseling was selected for the month of February, thefirstmonth of the series, because a majority of the Human Development majors have an emphasis in counseling. The free lectures that the club sponsors are designed to show students their career options, and to help direct them through their necessary steps. The events are typically either fundraisers or activities designed to contribute to a community. Some of the events include the MS walk, the Nami walk, volunteering for North County Life Line, and team building exercises at a ropes course in Big Bear. The club is also looking into volunteering at The Woman's Resource Center in Oceanside, and hopes to give a about students speeding through Lot E in order to make it to the back lot, Lot H. The Parking and Transportation Service Office, which is located in the middle of both Lot E and H, have seen pedestrians nearly hit and have witnessed intense disputes over parking. With an increased number of spots taken away from the students, many anticipate that even more competition over what little parking is now available to students. "They're slowly kicking us all out to the dirt lot," said Gal State San Marcos student, Brittany Thomas. Another CSUSM student, Kristina Moore, expressed her disapproval stating, "The faculty have a whole other lot, Lot E, and it's never full."

For aflatdiscounted fee of $25 dollars, students can receive help with vehicle unlocks, dead batteries, and spare tire mountings. By contacting University Police, through either any campus phone, or using the blue emergency phones which are always a direct line to campus police, located in every parking lot, students can be connected with Red Line Towing. Red Line will respond promptly to the parking lot within approximately 20 minutes. Students will have to decide for themselves the value of this service, due to the large fee of $25 for simpler services like unlocking a vehicle. Nonetheless, if a student is running late and lacks both the capacity and desire to change your spare or jump a battery, $25 is a small price to pay. "I don't think I would ever personally use the service, while my girlfriend will no doubt be calling regularly," said student Anthony Calloway. He continued to say that "If she (Calloway's girlfriend) spent $25 getting Red Line to unlock her doors, instead of calling me for her spares, I think ! would be a little upset at her wasting the money." "Red Line Towing has not been placed on any type of retainer fee paid by the university; this is just the best deal we found for students, after we shopped around for services in the area," mentioned Lieutenant Doug Miller of the University Police Department. Students should keep in mind that the person receiving the services will befinanciallyresponsible for all work done, at the time services are rendered. So far, there has been a negative response from students concerning the sixteen spots now designated for the faculty and staff. Despite the negative remarks, Holmes remains hopeful for the future. By Fall 2006, there will be a new lot added next to Lot H and it will be general parking for students. Eventually, Campus View Drive, the street leading to Lot E, will continue south, wrapping behind the faculty parking lot. "The new lot will be called Lot F, and it will include about 1500 new spaces," said Holmes. She also added that students will have to go through that new lot in order to gain access to Lot H. Drivers will not be able to access Lot H through Lot E. Hopefully, this new change will not be a huge inconvenience for students, especially those who are night students, added Holmes. Thankfully, in the near future students can look forward to a new student lot that will alleviate the troubles of having to share the few available spaces.

In the past, dances have been hosted at the Escondido Center for Performing Arts as well as Pechanga Casino, but when planning for this years' event, Schroeder anticipated that it would be fun to party in a 'club-like' venue rather than a formal one. "Hard Rock Café was fun, but the maximum capacity is 50," said Schroeder. "Canes has the same kind of environment and vibe as Hard Rock Café, yet Canes holds up to 800 people." The Spring Fling is free to CSUSM students with a valid student ID, courtesy of ASI funding. Guests are welcome to attend for a nominal fee of $5. All attendees must obtain tickets in advance to attend, since tickets will not be sold or available at the door. "Students are advised to get their tickets ASAP," suggested Schroeder. The last day to get tickets is Thursday, March 9, at 4:00 p.m. "It is important for students to know the name on the ticket must match an ID RESEARCH,frompage 1 tion will be held simultaneously in three separate rooms. Biological research and other sciences will be held in UNIV 257, psychology in UNIV 237, and all other presentations in UNIV 373. Judges are chosen based on their areas of expertise, aligning judges appropriately with the subject matter in the projects, said Collins. Immediately after the competition, the judges will compile scores and select finalists, which will be announced on March 6. CSUSMfinalistsare determined by the same criteria used for the state competition. The written and oral aspects of the research projects are evaluated via the following criteria: clarity Of purpose, appropriateness of methodology, interpretation of results, value of the research or creative activity, ability of the presenter to articulate the research or creative activity to a card upon entering," added Schroeder. As for the dress code, "there is no strict dress code for this event," said Schroeder; however, Schroeder suggests dressing in clublike attire or appropriately for such a special event. Although Canes is a bar, the event is not only for the 21 and up crowd. All students are welcome to attend, regardless of age. Alcoholic beverages will be available for students 21 and over, at the cash bar, at the student's expense. Non-alcoholic beverages and food are free. Food will include: pizza, quesadillas with sour cream, mini taquitos, caliente wings, chicken fingers, chips and salsa, with fresh vegetable and cheese and cracker trays. "We are going to have some great DJs that will make everyone wanna get out on the dancefloor,"said Schroeder. So bring comfortable shoes, because according to Schroeder, "we're going to dance the night away!" wide audience, organization of the material presented, and the presenter's ability to handle questions from the jury and the general audience, said Collins. Finalists of the campus competition will receive a certificate of recognition, a $50 cash award, and a paid trip to the state competition at CSU Channel Islands. The state competition will be held on May 5 and 6. Students will not receive academic credit for participating in the competition; however, statefinalistsdo receive a cash award. "The purpose of the competition is to recognize outstanding student accomplishments in scholarly research and creative activity," said Collins. "Participating in the competition is prestigious. It is an excellent experience for the researcher, and gives them a very significant experience to list on their resume. Some of our participants are using this in their applications for doctoral programs throughout the country." Matthew Spears, a Cai State San Marcos senior and literature and writing studies major, won second place in last year's state competition in the "Humanities and Letters" section, the undergraduate division, for his research project titled: "The Canonicity of Cliché: Idiomatic Language and Formulaic Diction in Beowulf and the Heaney Translation", with Lance Newman as his faculty mentor. Spears received a $200 cash award and a certificate. "I had a great time, of course!" mentioned Spears. "The application wasn't all that difficult, since I had already had an idea of what research I was going to submit -the idea for my paper wasfromwork I had done before in a class. The competition here on campus was relaxed and low-key, and to tell you the truth, I really didn't feel all that nervous. I was one of thefinalistsselected to go to the statewide competition and that was an enjoyable experience as well. There is a little question & answer session at the end of every presentation (as there is in the competition here), but it's really easier than you think because you quickly discover that you know more about the topic of your research than they do," said Spears. This year, there are 28 students participating in the campus-wide competition, a significant increase from last year's 13 participants. According to Collins, there were over 190 students representing the 22 CSU campuses in attendance at last year's state competition. The students competed in 22 different divisions. "We are thrilled with the response to this year's competition. Not only did we double the number of entrants, but we received submissions from areas that were not represented last year," said Collins. "We really would like to* have people see this as a venue for showcasing research from allfieldsof study." Finalists from last year's competition will be hosting this year's campus competition, and will be available in each room to answer questions and solicit advice. "First, don't be afraid to apply - all you have to do is submit a 5 page paper, and then give a 10 minute presentation, which I might add, is in front of a friendly audience that wants you to succeed," explained Spears. "Second, once you're actually in the competition, make sure to have some fun with it. See it as an opportunity to have some fun, show off some of the great research you've conducted in your classes while a student at CSUSM, and as a way to practice your public speaking, which will be important when you have a job." The campus competition is open to the public, and free of charge.

It can now be located behind and between the University and Academic Hall buildings, yet is only fully visible from near the FCB building, and the Palm Court. Perhaps its obscured location added to student interest in the project as rumors circulated. During its construction, gossip spread that it would take several more years than the official estimate to finish, and once it had been 'completed,' new rumors surfaced that the project was rushed and that the building did not yet meet the necessary building codes. These allegations came as a surprise to David Dennis, project manager with the University's Office of Planning, Design and Construction. Construction on Markstein Hall actually began in May of 2004 and was finished early January 2006, just a few weeks before classes began. While the project was finished three months earlier than the originally projected date of completion in May 2006, Dennis claims that it was built "in about average time" for a project of its size and complexity. "It's 99.9% complete" he said, "we just need to finish the punch list," referring to the list of minor and non-crucial repairs and replacements for the building, such as paint touch ups and landscaping. Rumors of professors forced prematurely into partially built offices seemed a far cry from the experience of Michael Pass, professor of Marketing, who teaches two classes and enjoys his new office in Markstein Hall. "It's wonderful," Professor Pass said in reference to the building. "It's far more professional looking." He also can't recall any negative experiences moving in, or any sense that the building wasn't complete. And with regards to his new office: "it's great, better than the other buildings on campus." This sentiment was echoed by Political BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON Pride Staff Writer Markstein Hall, a modern and professional design. Science professor Anthony O'Halloran, who also has an office in the new building. "I can't recall anything not being completed ... and this office is much better than any I would have had back in Ireland," he remarked. Many students have also been enjoying the new building, and most agreed that the new class room's "Harvard Case" design-with large hardwood desks in a tiered, semicirclelike amphitheater with the professor in the middle-created a more "professional environment". Of course, not everyone admired the décor. One student, who did not wish to be named, commented on the industrial-style corrugated metal facades, saying "it looks like the inside of a Chipotle [restaurant]". Another student wryly remarked that the hallways on the second and third floors were quite narrow, but that the fourthfloor'shallways (where the Photo by Z achary J. Simon / The Pride dean's office is located) were much more spacious. Overall, though, the allegations of an inadequate or incomplete facility have been silenced since its opening, and in their place there seems to be a general sense of satisfaction and pride in the new facility. "My wife is coming to help me hang pictures tonight... I'm going to use it as an excuse to show off the classes," Professor Pass said. With students and professors both pleased with the facility, one can only hope that this model will be followed for future campus projects. Current construction projects such as the remodeling of Craven Hall, whose interior was widely considered confusing and inefficient by staff and students alike, would be extremely well received. Quite likely, however, before anyone gets a chance to see how that project turns out, there will be plenty of time for the staff and students to speculate on it. Benjamin Franklin coined the phrase "lord of another man's purse" to refer to the title of those with steady paying habits. UCSD professor, David Vickers, refuted this argument in his Feb. 16 presentation on the history of US debt. The problem of personal borrowing in the creation of personal debt was the focal point of Dr. Vickers' lecture. He explained to his audience, mixed of CSUSM students and faculty, the many layers to this issue, as well as a comparison of credit in colonial days versus the present. Vickers, originally from Canada, described the most common reasons that people borrow in today's society, such as emergencies, investments, better living, and of course, school. People today also have the ability to borrow based on their demonstration of great payment history (credit score) and steady income flow. One major aspect of borrowing that has changed in more recent transactions is the rise of internet use and therefore decline in See DEBT, page 7 "n r ìi Bn < n wmfif nrnfjfi KTnn nifì n nn n nT^^^^^^^^fn ËËP^S » n M n n Mi ft nin ì f n f ln n frif^^^^^^f^ BES^r ^ iM' iì f i ifì li lnH f i n o iffi t H^ t t n ^n n i l^ T ï t ^^ ll f ^ Unite to Win! Rally for affordable quality education and fair contractsl In 2003 and 2004, California cut half a billion dollars in state funding for the CSU. To help get through tough times, faculty and staff took a pay freeze. Students saw fees skyrocket along with class sizes. Sections were cancelled. Advising appointments took months to get. The economy finally started to recover this year, but instead of putting new resources in the classrooms, the Trustees spent $1.2 million on huge raises for top administrators. They could have used that money to offer 262 more sections that would enroll 10,000 students. After ail, the housing allowance for presidents is more than the yearly pay of many professors! To top it all off, after raising student fees every year since 2002, the Trustees want to raise them again-10% per yearforthe next four years. The CSU is getting so expensive that enrollments are starting to decline! Meanwhile, faculty and staff unions are negotiating new contracts, and the CSU administration is pushing hard for cutbacks in compensation and Job security. They want to get rid of reliable cost-of-living raises for faculty who are already underpaid. They want to dump three-year contracts for lecturers, making them scramble for work every semester. And they want to gut the FERP program that lets retired faculty keep teaching the courses students need. We can't let the CSU administration destroy our school and our jobs! And the only way to stop them is if students, staff, and faculty unite to say, "No more cutsi Rebuild the CSU!"

The celebration has come to epitomize wild images of insouciant dancing, drinking and exotic exhibition. Other less risque aspects include beads, masks, Cajun food and plastic-baby King Cakes. One may therefore be surprised to learn some of its stricter religious origins. According to World Book Encyclopedia online, Mardi Gras celebrations date back to ancient Roman customs ofmerrymaking and feasting before a period of religious fasting. Held on the day before the Catholic holiday of "Lent," Mardi Gras' actual date depends on the date of Easter, thus why the celebration occurs predominantly where Catholicism has enjoyed influence. This year, Mardi Gras will take place on February 28, as the date is always set 46 days before Easter. Mardi Gras, which means Tat Tuesday' in French, may have received its name from the French custom of parading a fat ox through towns and villages on Shrove Tuesday. In Germany, the holiday is called "Fastnacht," while the English call it "Pancake Day". The tradition ofMardi Gras wasfirstintroduced to America by French colonists in the early 1700's. It became very popular in New Orleans, later branching out to other southern states. In Alabama, Florida, and several counties in Louisiana, Mardi Gras is a 'legal' (often incarnated as 'bank') holiday. To this day the most famous Mardi Gras celebration has been held in New Orleans and it attracts tourists from around the world. Social organizations, called 'krewes,' manage andfinancethe parades and other festivities. Mardi Gras is actually one day, but is preceded by a weeks-long carnival season whose theme changes each year. During this 'Carnival Season,' balls, parties, parades, and feasting are especially popular. Mardi Gras then signifies the climax and culmination of this season. On Ash Wednesday, religious party-goers will sober up and begin preparation for Lent and Easter. Even with its modern popularity, Mardi Gras has managed to maintain its symbolic roots. Two of the most popular traditions associated with Mardi Gras are King Cakes and die tossing of trinkets. King Cakes are ring-shaped pastries usuallyfilledwith cinnamon andfrostedwith icing and tri-colored sprinkles. Purple, yellow and green sprinkles were meant to represent justice and faith. A miniature plastic-baby is inserted into one of Photos courtesy ofwww.mardigrasday.com Masked 'krewe' members toss trinkets to Mardi Gras crowd. the cakes and whoever happens to get that piece with the baby inside will be elected to host the next party or will often become King/Queen of the celebration. Another popular tradition during Mardi Gras is the tossing and receiving of trinkets. Masked krewe members ride on the parade floats and toss various types of trinkets to the crowds. Such items can rangefromplastic-beaded necklaces and faux doubloons to plastic cups and hats. Just shout. "Throw me some beads, mister" and you too can go home with bags full of these coveted Mardi Gras souvenirs. Contrary to popular lore, getting coveted Mardi Gras beads does not require revealing certain body parts. "There is so much thrown that there is no way you are not going to go home with a bag full of goodies," said Arthur Hardy, an author and television personality, during an interview with National Geographic magazine. According to Hardy, the notorious practice of "flashing" for beads has nothing to do with the real spirit ofMardi Gras, and will only be found among young people who feel they have license to behave in such a manner.

The presentation consisted of no real visual aids other than Benjamin Franklin's coined term scribbled onto the white board of University Hall 100. Vickers led off his discussion with a comparison of the historical contexts and concepts of debt that are prevalent in today's society. In colonial times, farmers utilized a credit system not entirely unlike the practices of our country in present day. A man could borrow services or equipment from any of his neighbors and in return he would repay this loan through services as well as with food or the lending of tools. In a system like this, each man worked in accordance with a face-to-face agreement made between borrower and lender. Such agreements were hard to renegotiate, credit transactions carried little interest, and loans had less of an urgency for payback, thus loans had a much longer life span. "The only indication to a farmer's neighbors that he could be trusted was his word; words carried much more weight in a primarily barter economy," explained Vickers. Today, the practice of borrowing and lending is a bit more complicated. Debts are negotiated between a computer screen and a human, making them much less personal. Terms of a loan can be renegotiated at almost any time with little to no sense of connection or attachment between lender or borrower. This in turn adds a sense of unpredictability to the process of lending and borrowing, givingriseto consumer burial beneath bills, bills, and more bills. When Vickers concluded his presentation he opened thefloorto questions from the audience where he discussed issues such as the necessity versus the option of establishing credit. Vickers appeared entirely receptive to the constructive feedback and positive audience reactions, closing with a statement that he would rethink and further develop some of the claims in his study. �Jock Talk With Josh BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer The past three weeks from American athletes haven'texactly been the high point in our country's long history of sports, and I am not just talking about the Winter Olympics. American snowboarder Lindsey Jacobellis, however, typifies exactly what's wrong with American athletes. In the past 15 years, American athletes have come across this mentality of preferring to look cool losing than winning in a boring fashion. For those of you who have shunned the Winter Olympics because the paint drying channel is more entertaining, here is what the proud American did. Jacobellis was competing in the Women's Snowboard Cross, which is basically a race down a hill against three other risktakers. Early into the medal race the three other riders lost control and Jacobellis had the race won if she just stayed on her board. Being the true American that she is, however, she felt the need to attempt a trick on the final jump right before the finish line. Mind you, in this event the only thing that counts is crossing the finish line. Of course, she bombs her trick and falls down which allows one of her competitors the time to pass her up and cause Jacobellis to get silver. Again, in true American style, she tried to lie about what she was trying to do. In the interview right after the event, she claimed that she needed balance so she grabbed her board in mid air to do so, but she didn't know if she wanted to do method air or indie air. In that situation neither was necessary. She didn't have to touch the board. When Bob Costas interviewed her I wanted to jump through the TV because she downplayed the whole thing, talking about how she was glad to get a medal and what matters to her is that she will always be known as an Olympian. I would like, for just once, an American athlete to go in front of a camera and just say, "I screwed up," or "I don't know what I was thinking, but it was stupid." I have met a few American Olympians, some who have won gold and some who have won silver, and those who have won silver have admitted they screwed up, but they didn't screw up because of showboating, like Jacobellis. The thing that bugs me more than people not taking responsibility for their own actions is people who don't realize how fortunate they are to be where they are. Barry Bonds, Ricky Williams, and Sammy Sosa all hit a nerve with the American public the past few weeks. Bonds spent all last week complaining about being a baseball player. Oh boo hoo Mr. Roid, poor you, you have to swing a bat and throw a ball for a living. He spent last week saying that this is going to be his last season, then saying he isn't quite sure, then saying he doesn't care about being 47 home runs away from the all-time home run record and then saying, "ouch my body hurts." Seriously, who complains about getting paid to play a sport for a living? Well, I guess it isn't as bad as turning down money to play a sport. Sammy Sosa may not be an American athlete, but he sure acts like one. Sosa had only one offer from a MLB club to play baseball this season and that was a one year contract for 500,000 dollars from the Washington Nationals. Sosa went on to say that it was offensive to be offered such little money. How many of you would be insulted if someone threw 500 grand at you to play baseball? There are many MLB players who can't get a contract, like the sultan of syringes, Jose Canseco, who would play catch with a live hand grenade for that kind of money. The dumbest athlete last week had to be Tommy Chong's doobie double from "Up in Smoke", Ricky Williams, when he was notified that he is facing a year suspension because it seems as though he failed a fourth drug test. Apparently, Ricky likes green plants more than green paper because I've lost count of how much money he's lost with these failed drug tests. If this suspension goes through, his career is likely over because the NFL isn't too keen on running backs over 30 years old that would rather light up a joint than light up the scoreboard. Even the potheads who heard about this story were like, "Dude, you're giving us a bad name." Of course they barely just got word about it yesterday. Finally, the kicker of them all doesn't involve an American athlete, but he is Canadian, so geographically it's close enough. Of late, Wayne Gretzky looks as bad as a crack addict, due to the stress of not medaling in the Winter pi%pp 1 mm «| m m mm Olympics, losing his mom and grandmother in a three week span, and the realization that his assistant coach and wife were caught up in an illegal gambling ring. As time consuming as those first three things are, how can you not know your wife and best friend are gambling hundreds of thousands of dollars? Also, the one thing I find most interesting about this situation is that generally women don't have severe gambling problems. It is usually males who are prone to betting thousands of dollars at the drop of a puck. It is usually male athletes who find people to make bets for them so there isn't a paper trail to their name. As a male athlete, who do you trust more than your own wife? Enough said. I wish some of these people would count to 10 or even 100 before they did anything in their life. Maybe then that would prevent some of these bonehead actions. Is the nation just less intelligent now, or did athletes in the past actually understand how lucky they were to be doing what they were doing and just tried not to screw up their position in life?

Censorship! May these words plunge from the heavens like dull arrows in a bright sky; may god allow them to reach the good people of San Marcos to alert them of the real assault--an assault on expression that occurs in dark rooms by newspaper editors who stir brews of power and irrationality. My friends and colleagues: It's passive voice, but the Robbins Report was censored. Last week I responded in a revised version of my column to the factual inaccuracies and poor reasoning that comprised the previous week's letter to the editor. I defended myself, and I defended the honor, of argumentation. The piece was about truth and reasoning. It was nearly a PSA for education. "It's just not goingin," my editor said as he tossed a couple of turd logs at the wall. We (the editor in chief and he) don't want folks carrying on arguments in "The Pride"; we don't want to see anything else about Women's Studies in "The Pride"; blah, blah, blah, blah, blah and blah. I know, these folks are editors and they are responsible for editing the paper into a quality product. Like Smokey said in the movie 'Friday', "and you know this, man!" My contention is that my Fuhrer's decision to edit my column all the way off of the page was an irrational decision While my revised column included multiple occurrences of the term "Women's Studies", they appeared only in the context of discussions about poor reasoning. While some might have cited my column for transporting an argument across campus lines, others might have viewed it as being intellectual dialogue between two scholars with strong and very diverse opinions. The smarter of the others might have even recognized the fact that I focused in on the arguments and abstracted the author. I made this case, but my editor upheld the decision. The difference is that this time he threw less turd logs at the wall. They censored a column that bears my surname and leaks my blood and I'm still lying awake at night without an explanation. Try this question guys: What the heck is a personal op-ed column if you can't be your own person and can't express certain opinions? You can say whatever you want Jason, just not this or that, and not to that person. Readers: I'll talk to you folks about more substantial issues next week.

The outfits that the athletes wear and the songs they choose to skate to, does not determine if it is a sport. Homophobia is implied with the comment about Johnny Wier. He is a male figure skater and he is an athlete in a sport that people may see feminine, yes, but it does not mean he is weird. The ways thatfigureskating is evaluated is more objective than subjective. Judges are highly trained and judge on a strict rubric.

SABLAN Pride Staff Writer According to the CSUSM web site http://www.csusm. edu/newsmedia/background/ stu-enrollhtm, fall 2005 student enrollment consisted of 63.5 percent females and 36.5 percent males. Since CSUSM has a majority female population, I thought Pdfocussome attention on some femalerelated issues and concerns. I recently overheard a comment on Valentine's Day that wouldn't have disturbed me a few months ago but fortunately since the start of my psychology of women's class this semester, things that have been lying dormant in the shadows of my mind have now been brought into the light. The comment I overheard was from a courier at work griping over the woes and obligations of men during the Valentine's Day holiday. "It's a woman's world," he said. My apologies for rattling the very foundation this society has been built upon, but it is definitely not a "woman's world." For those of you who are not fortunate enough to take Psych 350, here is just a morsel from the buffet of knowledge and perspective it provides. If this was a femaleempowered world, strength would be defined as childbirth and spirit, not how much weight someone can bench. All males would have a curfew since they are the main perpetrators of violence against women. Once the curfew was in effect, females could roam the streets without fear of harm. Men take for granted the luxury of being able to walk around without fear for their safety or lives 24 hours, seven days a week. Females can't even feel 100 percent safe in the comfort of their own homes. Statistics ofrapescommitted in the United States remove one of the essential elements of the statistic, the criminal. Instead of wording statistics like "every second, three women are raped", why aren't statistics worded to include the committer of the crime? Applicable statistics should state that "a man rapes a woman every three seconds." There is only one prototype for the perfect female figure. A woman basically must be skinny, almost boyishly so, yet have huge breasts. How many females in the population canfitinto that mold? Yet males aren't given the same matchbox to fit into. Handsome can mean a variety of sizes and shapes. Men can be chunky, slim, tall, or short and still be considered attractive by society's standards. Females have also given into the injustice by trying to fit the mold. Makeup is utilized because females don't wake up attractive the way men do. Numerous diet plans are in abundance to help females achieve the ''perfect" figure. People try to downplay the injustice females suffer by depersonalizing those who demand their voices be heard. They refer to those brave individuals with slurs such as "bra burners" and joke about them being so extreme that they grow out their armpit and leg hair. Feminism is not a negative word that should induce emotions of shame. Feminism should be a roar resonating from the souls of individuals, males and females, with the end result being an eruption of pride, strength, and unity. Everyone has a mother, sister, daughter, girlfriend, wife, or femalefriend.Males should be aware that even though they may walk out the same door to start their day as the females in their lives, they walk into a different world. BY ALFRED CHU Special to The Pride September 11 was a day that shocked Americans as no other single day ever had previously. In the following weeks, we glued ourselves to the television watching the footage caught from that dreadful day as well as waiting for recent updates. In the months and years that followed, books, publications, endorsements, charities, documentaries, etc have all touched on that event However there's one more medium that hasn't directly exploited that event: the Hollywood Motion Picture.. .until now. Paramount Pictures, director Oliver Stone and actor Nicholas Cage are currently in production of "World Trade Center". Thefilmwill focus on the true story of John McLoughlin and William J. Jimeno, who were the last two survivors rescued from the rubble of Ground Zero. Only in production, Stone has already issued statements to the media defending thefilmand rebutting against criticism. The film will be shot in Los Angeles on a sound stage while news footage of the event will be added separately. Stone and the producers have also met with the 9/11 families to retain accuracy as well as consent. According to USA Today, Stone has promised sensitivity on the subject, and that's all well and good but then again, Stone stated I believed Bush Sr. when he said "Read my lips: no new taxes." Let's break it down like a fraction. First, we can all agree that Hollywood has a reputation of exaggerating, dis- torting, etc true stories and events. We've seen this done time and again. Second, this is another example of Hollywood looking for new material to produce onfilm.I guess constant adaptations and remakes can't always be lucrative. Third, Hollywood has high hopes of making money off this event. Fourth, we all know controversy sells ("The Passion of the Christ"). That's nothing new. Fifth, Stone has a reputation of making controversial films ("Platoon"). Would you really want "controversy" surrounding an event such as this? I think not. Sixth, if this film should bomb critically and/or financially, either way, Stone's career is close to over. And lastly, Stone promised sensitivity but when push comes to shove, who is he going to be more loyal to, the audience or the people signing his paycheck? I'm not banning the film nor am I condemning it, although that day might come when I see it. Yet it's too soon to be making a film about September 11 and more importantly, too sensitive of a subject. Having lived across the Hudson River in New Jersey during that time, I still keep in contact with friends who lost someone during the attack. I still keep in contact with those who witnessed the collapse of the World Trade Center. To this day, I still have same feelings for the victims as well as the perpetrators. It was one of the rare moments where we were brought together through a commonality, if only for a short while. Mr. Stone, stand down on this one.

And former "Charlie's Angels" star Drew Barrymore lends her voice once again to animation as Ted's love interest, Maggie. With other voices as Dick Van Dyke playing the role of the museum owner Mr. Bloomsberry, and Frank Welker as the loveable character himself, George. As the movie begins, the audience encounters George in Africa being a mischievous character. George is an ape that does not quite belong in this location, in other words, too big for his surroundings. However, this "Curious George" resembles a toddler in the face, facial movements and sounds in comparison to an ape. This, however, does not take away from the movie but instead it creates a more protective feeling in regard to the lonesome ape George. Featured in the film, the museum Ted works for has fallen on hard times. In response, Ted presents an idea of a new attraction to save the museum from becoming a cement tombstone. This idea lands Ted in Africa searching for a lost idol (resembling an ape) allegedly towering Photo courtesy ofwww.curiousgeorgemovie.com over 40ft. However, this journey is not as easy as planned and takes us from Africa into the city where trials and tribulations certainly hold Ted and George from possibly saving the museum and also missing a chance with love and romance.

Celebrate MARDI GRAS BY AMANDA KEELEY Pride Staff Writer The throwing of beads, invitations to masquerade balls, purple, green and gold decorations lining the streets can only mean one thing - Mardi Gras! According to Holidays.net, Mardi Gras was brought to New Orleans due to its richness in French Culture in 1699. Mardi Gras season actually starts on Jan. 6, the "Epiphany holiday", according to Carnival.com, which is twelve days after Christmas and until midnight on Mardi Gras day (Fat Tuesday). The official colors of Mardi Gras are purple, green and gold, which were established in 1872 by Rex, King of Carnival. Each color has a particular meaning, for instance, purple means justice, green represents faith, and gold equals power. According to MardiGras.com, Mardi Gras began as pagan holiday to celebrate the end of winter and coming of spring. Since the celebration was so popular, the Catholic Church kept the tradition, but placed some limits on it by stating that Mardi Gras festivities were only to last from Three King's Day to Ash Wednesday. Basically, Mardi Gras is all about enjoying the appetite of life by feasting and partying before the fasting of Lent. You don't have to be from New Orleans to celebrate Mardi Gras, because on Fat Tuesday, Feb. 28, in downtown San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter, from 7 p.m. to 12 a.m., they will be having their own Mardi Gras festivi- ties. There will befivelive stage performances, the G Street Party Stage located on 6th Avenue and G Street will feature DJ Marc Thrasher, NRG, Polyester and the Platforms and KC and the Sun Shine Band. On the E Street Club Stage, located North of E Street and 5th Avenue, DJ's Erick Diaz & Adam Salter with Siesta Records, Scooter and Lavelle and Miss Lisa will be performing. On 4th Avenue, Tipitina Stage located on 4th Avenue and Island Avenue will be showing DJ Mac, The Frappe' Brass Band, The Wild Apache Mardi Gras Indians, The 504 Brass Band, and Kirk Joseph Backyard Groove. The K Street Gaslamp Stage on 6th Avenue and K Street features DJ Scott Martin, Dirty Sweet, Lady Dottie and the Diamonds, Truckee Brothers, and Reeve Oliver. Finally, on G Street, between 4th and 5th Avenue, is the G Street Lips Experience. Mardi Gras in the Gaslamp Quarter is presented by Southern Comfort, so be sure to grab a Southern Comfort Hurricane, as they will be served all night! The fun doesn't stop there; at 8:30 p.m. there will be a parade that spans eight blocks down Gaslamp Quarter and lasts about 35 to 40 minuets. Local radio stations are getting in on the action as well. 101 KGB will have afloatand a booth set up at the event. They will be giving away free passes and winners will get to ride on the float. Dana from Rock 105.3 says they will also have a float in the parade. Telina from promotions at Photo courtesy ofwww.mardigrashistory.com Star 94.1 says there will a 10x10 booth set up in which prizes will be given out for games such as matching, and guessing how many skittles are in ajar. Farley from Channel 93.3 says they will not only have afloatand booth, but DJ Hit Man Haze will be holding down all the beats that keep you moving. Note that this is a ticketed Beer of the week: Moretti's L a Ross Photo by Matthew Schramm / The Pride event for 21 and over only. Also, no still or video cameras will be allowed in the event. Dan Flores, the Senior Marketing Manager with the Gaslamp Quarter Association, said that last's year Mardi Gras was "very successful," which made it possible for such bands as KC and the Sun Shine Band to perform this year and give "emerging bands a chance to perform." Dan Flores hopes people will get to discover new bands, and have a good time while giving back to the community. Some of the proceeds go to keeping the streets clean and safe. The great thing about Mardi Gras in the Gaslamp Quarter is that you don't have to be in New Orleans to get a great Mardi Gras experience. used.

State San Marcos, like sharks circling their prey, looking f or that great spot. A s a last resort, students can recoil b ack t o the d irt p arking lot on the outskirts of t he campus and hike in. W hat students may not realize is that the d irt parking is not going to last because it does not belong t o Parking Services. CSUSM students are also facing two parking f ee increases in the next four to five years. Posted on the Cal. State San Marcos web site is a plan to increase parking fees to $248 a semester as early as 2006. The next hike will occur 2009/2010, increasing up the rate to $338 a semester. For f reshmen on campus, this means you will b e paying the $338 rate to park here on campus by the t ime you are a senior.

The agreement allows Discount Campus B ooks access to almost all of the b ooks used this spring semester, but at a cost of $1.50 per requisition. With 675 requisitions for the spring semester alone, that is a cost of $975 for Discount Campus Books. That amount is an acceptable cost for the store that is hoping to t urn a measurable profit for the first time. "We're happy as heck to p ossibly b e making money this semester," said John Kilby, manager of the store. With the requisitions, Kilby said they have already seen a 30 p ercent increase in sales this semester alone. In addition, with an agreement with the Foundation, Discount Campus Books can eliminate the lawyer's fees they have b een paying to keep the fight going, Kilby said. The-agreement, which covers the spring and summer 2005 semesters, will b e renegotiated f or the fall 2005 semester. Kilby is optimistic about the f uture negotiations. " I don't know (how the negotiations will go), I assume they will go okay," said Kilby. Prior to this agreement, Discount Campus Books had to order b ooks for the current semesters based on previous semester's orders. This o ften led to wrong orders of outdated editions or books discontinued for particular classes. Some professors provided book information, but accurate i nformation was not directly provided. "It is a w in f or the students," said Kilby.

Private investigator Lynn Button, a retired CSU police chief, and CSUSM Literature and Writing Department Chair Professor Susie Lan Cassel conducted the investigation into Williams' complaint. The four page investigation summary, dated February 1, devoted more than three of its pages to making recommendations for change within the CSUSM police department. The report suggests the creation of a task force to conduct "an in depth study regarding arrest demographics in terms of race." In the report, the investigators remark at the Hispanic arrest rate of 41percent during the last three years as "deserv(ing) further review." The report states: "It is troubling to see that the Hispanic arrest rate is nearly that of the white arrest rate and nearly double the percentage of Hispanic students on campus." Other recommendations in the report include the commencing of an internal review by University police of the department's arrest statistics in regards to race and to present those findings to the vice president and president of the university, the establishment of a community oversight committee to review arrests "to ward against race inequity" was also recommended as well as changing the complaint procedures to be "both student-friendly and statistically useful." The documenting of traffic stops and arrests "to ward against racial profil- BOOKSTORE, f rom page 1 ing," the adoption of a community policing model, the training of CSUSM police officers in "cultural sensitivity" and the changing of University police reports to contain "more descriptive facts" rounded out the report's recommendations. Interim Chief of University Police Aaron Woodard said^he felt that the investigation was, "complete and thorough," and that he "felt good about" the officers' in the complaint being cleared of wrongdoing. "Anyone investigating (the case) would have come to the same conclusions," said Woodard. When asked about the recommendations in the investigation report, Woodard said that many of the recommendations are already being implemented. "We (University police) have to and are doing more to get the people to get to know who we are," said Woodard. He declined f urther comment o n specific recommendations within the report citing the current review of the report within the campus policing task force. Jason Williams expressed his disappointment that the officers were cleared and remarked that the findings were, "how i thought everything would work out," and that he was "trying not to let things like this get me down." Williams said that he was concerned that the clearing of the officers involved in his traffic stop sent the wrong message to the campus and community at large. "It is like saying that this was OK. What do you think the justice system will do to me? What do you think is happening to those not in colleges?" said Williams. Expressing his belief that university police should be more of a p eacekeeping force than a strict enforcement agency Williams said, "no one should be getting arrested on college campuses unless there is a big emergency." Photo by Michael Dolan / The Pride I hope to get 90-95 percent of the books assigned." This semester, the off campus alternative got about 85 percent of the books, Kilby said. In addition to book sales, Discount Campus Books is offering tax service for students for the first time this semester. "We will keep selling books at a discount, but we will expand to include other services," Kilby said. The representatives from the Foundation who negotiated the agreement with Discount Campus Books were out of the office on Monday and unavailable for comment.

Haynes presented her first report to the community, "Building Vital Communities," in the Clark Field House, February 3. According to the President's website, approximately 130 members of the community paid $15 to hear President Haynes' speech with a breakfastJxiffet on the side. The Pride did not attend the event, but did receive a copy of President Haynes' speech from the Office of Communications. Haynes' speech read CSUSM's current slogan, "We're Building a Place for You," has become outdated and fails to highlight all of the expansion the campus has undergone in the past 15 years. According to Haynes' speech, "We have now built a place for you. We are ready to move from our past success to significance, building vital communities through education and partnerships." The speech outlined three essential building blocks to expand our "vibrant and Vital commun i t y " - academic excellence, cultural and intellectual vibrancy, and the final block is civic leadership. Haynes' speech stressed academic excellence is the top priority. The university will continue to develop new academic majors and expand on existing programs to meet the needs of the community. "As these new majors and concentrations are rolled out, they will include the strengths of our existing programs and what has built our academic reputation to date: writing and second language requirements, use of technology, problem solving and teamwork approaches to learning, and community service," as read in Haynes' speech. call for similar parking fee increases for faculty. The plan* went into effect under the direction of former CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez (July 1998 - June 2003), before he moved on, as a ten year plan to help accommodate the expected increase in enrollment. Since Cal. State San Marcos is considered a commuter school, most of the students drive to school and the demand for parking space will increase with enrollment. Unlike San Diego State, where they have 36,000 students and 12,000 parking spaces, students here at CSUSM always have a place to park, even if it is in the dirt lot and Parking Services wants to keep it that way. Robert Williams, the Coordinator of Business Operations & Technology, Parking Services, explained how in order to pay for new spaces on campus, Parking Services has to come up with its own money. "We are self supporting. .. (and) many people do not realize how expensive it is," said Williams. Money designated to schools from the state of California cannot be used for parking services and the expense of building just a flat surface is increasing in California. "Many people do not realize how expensive it is," said Williams talking about how the cost of construction and labor in California has gone up. He said that a flat surface to fit 1200 spaces will run about 354 million dollars. Williams also said that the plan to build a parking structure in 2010 will probably run about 18 million dollars. Williams also talked about the difficulty to get approval for such construction. "It's like buying a house," said Williams, "Parking services has to apply for loans, we have money in the bank, and we have to get preapproved for any of these construction projects to get underway." When asked why students must bare the brunt of the fee increase alone he said Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride that "faculty [parking fee someone that has a similar start operations in late 2007, increases] have to be done at school schedule. according to the NCTD web the state level."

Their visits to our campus may seem sporadic, however there is a scheduled time set aside once a month for them to set up shop. Getting vendors on our campus is a fairly easy process. The majority of vendors and organizations solicit the school and ask to set up booths. Marc D eGuzman, vice president of finance of Associated Students, Inc., is the head of the Cougar Bazaar.

One of the vendors on campus last week, the Direct Benefits Leader f rom B ank of America, Nick Radkowsky, said, "That being on campus is a good experience, even if there's not a lot of business, because it gives good exposure to the company."

" I don't m ind them being there, I j ust don't like it when they're aggressive," said CSUSM student Talisha St. John. "A lot of u s on campus can't a fford to buy these things anyway," said St. John. In the past, students have not had a say in which vendors they would like to see on campus, but D eGuzman stated that this was something they would add to their suggestion cards in the f uture. Perhaps students wouldn't feel so indifferent if some of the vendors were picked by them. ASI usually posts the schedule on the window outside their office facing Founders Plaza. The next stream of vendors are scheduled to b e here in March. T he area around Commons and the Founders Plaza smelled of smoke f rom the brief fire that followed the explosion. The San Marcos Fire Department was called out to inspect the light and t he interior of Commons 206 to ensure there was no danger of a residual fire. The inspection revealed no f urther danger. Members of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority were gathering f or a meeting outside Commons 206 when the explosion occurred. "It literally j ust popped o ff," said sophomore Jacelyn Foley. " Then a fire started behind it." ' It smelled real b ad," said Christina Salter, sophomore. The sorority was meeting to discuss spring recruitment. Hernandez said that Facility Services h ad been contacted and would handle the repair of light. At press time, there was no plan to close or restrict access to the second floor Commons corridor.

Ishmael Reed's body of work r uns the gamut. From novels, poetry and songwriting to television production, publishing, playwriting and magazine editing. He has been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, and was twice a finalist for the National Book Award. He was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship in University since the late 1960s. One of Reed's most recent essays, "Another Day at the Front," is a deftly crafted social criticism of the homefront war. America's long tradition of racism is explored in this work, which evokes deep emotional Photo courtesy of The Circle Brotherhood Association responses f rom its readers. One of the purposes of his work has been to provoke people to think differently about their culture and their place in society. Reed -is a master of collage and improvisation, with the ability to entertain his audience with humorous exaggeration and sharp wit. He is often misunderstood because satire and irony cannot be appreciated if the audience does not have the appropriate background to comprehend his ideas. Much of his satire is aimed at the status quo and sometimes his readers are offended by his idea of "Neohoodooism," a name Reed coined to describe his philosophy of accepting many truths. Reading one of Reed's novels like "Mumbo Jumbo" or "Yellow Back Radio Broke Down" is a challenge, but it helps one gain a sense of his perspective of black culture in*America. Reed's lecture, "Honoring Black History Month," promises to be as entertaining and thought provoking as his books, poetry and essays. It will be presented February 15 at 7:00 p.m. in Arts 240. Seating will be limited, so early arrival is recommended.

I hope doesn't seem to reflect in Bush's that politics in this country could statement "America's economy is be a bit less childish. However I the fastest growing of any major demand however that politicians industrialized nation." Perhaps to end sexism which includes the LGBT community. There is a growing resentment in this country against homosexuals. It's bad enough that the president and so many other politicians are invoking their religion on us, but now the debate against homosexuals is to make sure they are'denied the rights of any type of heterosexual union. I ask people all the time "Why do you care if they get married? Does it impact you personally? Would it affect your pocket book?" The answer to most is no with a condition. They say allowing this will tear apart the moral fabric of America. America, a country in which 1 in 3 women are raped, were people of color are unreasonably searched and arrested, and where we send our children off to war on false premises. All of these immoral acts occurred on this very campus last semester. I hope they are not talking about that America. I was told by one man "I don't want to have to explain to my children why gays are allowed to marry " That could be a valid point, but consider this: 50 years ago about at least half of the U.S. citizens, most which were Anglos, were saying "I don't want to have to explain to my children why interracial dating or marriage is acceptable?' The separation of church and state has been so blurred in this country. If the church refuses to marry these people in "Holy Matrimony," than the state should. Why does the church have so much power on a legal binding contract such as marriage? As far as I know though I could be wrong many gays do not intend to be part of this patriarchal Judeo-Christian institution. By not belonging to it however, they are denied family rights such as, family visitation, inheritance, and much much more. If I can ask anything of my fellow comrades, it is not to support the church in its role in the government. We kick them out for a good reason; do not let them dictate what is moral. Remember church and state are separate. "The Phantom Writer" shown us that you are concerned about your freedoms. But where have all of these demanding students gone? From all of the support at every rally, forum andprotests where are you when we need a solid organization to keep us going? For those of you who have held a sign at the Michael Moore rally for Freedom of Information, where are you when organizations for positive social change are struggling to pay for the tables, the banners and the sign that you held? Where is our support when we need just people to help us put on events, when we need members just to put on a fundraiser? The Progressive Activists Network (PAN) is working hard to bring support to those in need, to voice student concern and to keep ourselves running with new members. Our meetings are empty and our f unds are low. With all of the turnout at rallies, PAN is growing into a well known organization. But with only 4 people pulling all of the levers to make it work, we would like support not j ust at our events, but at our meet- ings, tabling and fundraising. For the 237 people who have signed onto our list serve, and the 227 people who have never come to a meeting or have asked how they can help, I call on you to help PAN grow. For the 400+ people who signed the letter to Karen Haynes, demanding an answer to her decisions, where are you as we continue to look for an answer? For the hundreds of people who have stopped at our events, forums, rallies and protests, I ask you to join us in our fight for academic freedom, a socially conscious campus, and maybe just an hour of your week.

Last week while looking for a parking spot, I realized that there were some open spots in lot K, adjacent to campus police and the University Village apartments. Without noticing the sign saying "UVA parking only," I parked in one of the many open spots in the lot. When I returned to my vehicle I found the $100 parking ticket and realized my mistake. Fine, my fault for not being observant and wanting to park on pavement, but is $100 an appropriate fine? As Patrick B. Long writes this week in his article about parking on campus, Parking Services is self-supporting, so I assumed the $100 fine was a way for Parking Services to support itself. A fter talking with Patti Hale at Parking Adjudication, I learned that Parking Adjudication receives all fine monies a fter $5 goes to the state. Hale also informed me that under state law, Parking Services and Parking Adjudication are separate and fine monies can't b e used for parking improvements. Funds collected f rom parking tickets can be used to finance Parking Adjudication and alternative transportation funding. Photo by Chezare Milo / The Pride Basically my $100 fine will go towards services I will never use. I j ust don't understand the rationale behind making students bear the cost of parking improvements and/or alternatives while receiving no relief. The price of parking remains the same as the availability of parking spaces goes down. Something is wrong. Last semester I could almost always find available parking on the pavement during peak hours, but now with a total enrollment increase o f295 students, I have a hard tinie finding parking outside of the dirt lot. Being that this is largely a commuter campus, it was unfair and irresponsible to not increase available, easily accessible paved student parking to accommodate the additional parking volume. I feel ripped off for having to pay $158 for a parking spot that either requires I park on dirt and walk for 20 minutes to get to class or show up to campus when the sun comes up. We, the students, pay the same amount of money and get less - it's just not right. If CSUSM accepts more students, there need to be adequate increases in services to assure the same availability and quality of the service, and already cash-strapped Students shouldn't bear the cost of improvements they will never use.

T H E P RIDE l i l l l S i Eastwood's "Baby" proves buzz-worthy BY Y VONNE BRETT Pride Staff Writer BY BRYAN MASON Pride Staff Writer The Oscar b uzz is in f ull swing and movie f ans are waiting to find out if the Academy will choose to honor a l ife story about real people or a compelling story about real life. Clint Eastwood's "Million Dollar B aby" is yet another boxing movie, but it is much more than that. It is a film that challenges the viewer by a ffirming life as well as pointing out how f ragile it can be. Hillary Swank plays Maggie, a trailer-trash waitress who dreams of t raining to become a champion boxer. She j oins a worn-out old g ym owned by Frankie, played by Clint Eastwood.

But when the acoustic guitar kicks in, it seems to fill a whole other genre. Teaming u p with Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie), Jimmy Tamborello (Dentl) wound up incorporating a whole new scene for the kids lost among this emo/punk era. Fanciful lyrics and beats upon beats lead u p to The Postal Service's first album release "Give Up." Deep lyrics and references to subjects like d rug abuse - and being trapped within ourselves compliment the free-flowing, u pbeat tempo of songs like "Such Great H eights" The Postal Service's recent success is due to the f act that their lyrics resonate with t oday's youth, and fill a void f or t oday's adolescent. With songs ranging in vocal precision and intricate b ass chimes, t he song "Clark G able" gives young audiences a great feeling of welcome and support in this society of structure. A s f ans wait for their next release, it is certain that despite wherever they tread musically, The Postal Service will achieve an unprecedented success among youth of all generations. Photos courtesy of Warner Bros. tually agrees to t ake her on. Morgan Freeman plays Eddie, a f ormer fighter who lives in the g ym and works as t he custodian, and n arrates the story. The screenplay was w ritten by Paul Haggis, who adapted the story f rom "Rope B urns: Stories From the Corner." The overall look of the film is very dark with many night scenes and characters filmed in t he shadows. Eastwood's camera and lighting techniques create a very distinctive mood that makes t he dialogue even more dramatic. Much of the story takes place in a gritty, dilapidated old g ym that looks like it belongs in a third-world and he has nailed the perfect formula of casting, cinematography and performance. It will not b e a surprise to anyone when he picks u p the award for best director and Swank captures best actress. "Million Dollar B aby" is probably the best film o f2004, but it remains to b e seen if it will actually b e honored with that title. country rather t han in Los Angeles. T he first two-thirds of the film moves rather slowly, but it allows the audience to develop a genuine a ffection f or the characters and prepare them f or a dramatic plot twist. Swank's character evolves physically as she t rains and her superb athleticism is matched only by her considerable acting skills. Eastwood is, f or the most p art, convincing in his role as trainer. The choice for him to b e reading Yeats and learning Gaelic seems a bit of stretch, but for a 75-year-old guy, he still rocks.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer You! Yes YOU, you filthy little philistine, you missed this: 'Creative Writing LTWR Faculty Dr. Mark Wallace Shares his Writing as a Part of his Campus Interview'. And so did I, the first 60 percent of it; snuck in like this man already had the job and I was already in his class and already afraid he'd be one of those 'on time or not at all' teachers. What he dropped, what I caught, what we might have shared had you been one of the hot chicks present (I could count them on one hand.. .not including the thumb) but you weren't; it was mostly faculty, and middle aged people, and middle aged people who weren't faculty, listening as he jerked his head up for second fractions, attempting eye contact but looking more like someone afraid of a yawn or rubber band preparing his assassination in the back row. Though variety was apparently present on the whole, in my 40 percent the work was, in a word, water collar: unpretentiously pretty presentation of real (existential) life questions—the other merging of white and blue being vapor collar, which uses poetry more to spit on rather than lick up the illiterate people who don't show up to these things. His capacity to teach CSUSM students about writing might be better assessed by the professor and student who juggled intangibles and h ypothetical with him before someone j ust had to ask, as he had dressed up, but in very safe blues, if poetry performance ever had brought him romance, if it still could for anyone else.

At almost 2,000 feet, this is the longest pier on the west coast, so if her Manolo's are putting on the squeeze, there's a shuttle that will take you the length of the pier for a mere 50 cents. If you've got a little extra cash, there are plenty of restaurants in the vicinity, but packing your own wine, cheese, and bread is decidedly more romantic. You'll pay if you want to park up close, but f ree lots are located j ust two blocks f rom the pier. To reach Oceanside pier, take Hwy. 78 west to Interstate 5 north, exit Mission Avenue heading west and follow the signs. If less concrete and more flora and fauna make your heart go pitter patter then you might head over to Carlsbad's Batiquitos Lagoon. Formed where fresh water and salt water meet and stirred up by wave and tidal action, coastal wetlands are a unique and dwindling resource for California wildlife, and the estuary at Batiquitos Lagoon is no exception. Batiquitos Lagoon provides habitat for 185 bird species, 65 fish species, and numerous native plants, so pack some sandwiches and a camera, tell your sweetheart to wear hiking boots, and see if you don't end up with a Kodak moment or two. To reach Batiquitos Lagoon, take Hwy. 78 west to Interstate 5 south, exit Poinsettia Lane heading east to Batiquitos Drive.

MARCH 25. 2003 A SI Election Results: V OL.XNO.24 CSU San Marcos Honee Folk New ASI President IRA referendum defeated STUDENT FALL 2003 By GAIL TARANTINO News Editor Last Friday in a tense, crowded room on campus, candidates, supporters and university staff waited for the results of the election for the 2003/2004 Associated Students Inc. (ASI) Board of Directors. In an unprecedented turn out of 1220 voters, approximately 17 percent of the total student population, students elected a diverse new student body government, selecting candidates from each of the three slates, plus several write-in candidates. Prior to announcing the winners, Student and Residential Life Associate Director Gezai Berhane reported that the voter turnout for this election was a nearly 30 percent increase over last year's 944 votes, and a university record. Election Results ASI Executive Vice President Arti Patel congratulated everyone and commended them for "working their butts off." Patel read the list of winners and the votes received for each candidate. The winners are President Honee J. Folk, Executive Vice President John Gehris, Vice President of External Affairs Erik Roper, Vice President of Finance Crystal Folk, Vice President of Communications Erin Dalmann, College of Arts and Sciences Representatives (3 winners) April Prencipe, Alice Lynn and write-in candidate Didi Lund, College of Business Representatives (2 winners) Nicole Rawski and Mike Macomber, Undergrad Representative (2 winners) Roy Lee and write-in candidate Analia Carlsson, and Post-Baccalaureate Representative Iain Gould.

"This way," states Dumanis, "when the budget hits hard, hopefully nobody will lose their job." Dumanis also plans to start a sexual assault division. Upon the establishment of this new division, Dumanis wants to open old murder cases and apply the newest DNA technology to them in order to see if the appropriate criminals are in jail, and to make sure that there are no murderers out in the general public. Overall, Dumanis wants to be remembered not for her gender, sexual preference or political beliefs, but instead for the D. A who did the "right things for the right reasons."

About 75 students learned which fork to use, to keep their napkin on their lap during the entire meal and how the salt and pepper are treated as a married couple. The Career and Assessment Center (CAC) and Associated Students Inc. (ASI) joined together to put on the "First Annual Business Etiquette Dinner" at the Lake San Marcos Country Club.

Crème our career." Nathan SuwainaSee DINNER, page4 �District Attorney During her lecture, Dumanis also addressed the gender barriers that permeated her political campaign. "Many people thought I wasn't tough enough to be a D.A because I am a woman," said Dumanis. She continued to comment on the nature of men and women in law enforcement, noting that men and women simply respond differently, but provided no examples. Professor Garcia of the Women's Studies department disagreed slightly with Dumanis' assumptions of the innate differences between men and women. Garcia asserts that gender "is socially constructed, not biologically determined." Women respond differently than men because "this is how they were socialized to 'do gender' and not because it is something biologically innate." Fortunately for Dumanis' campaign, she is an experienced county clerk, assistant D.A, felony prosecutor, criminal trial judge, and seasoned law enforcement manager. "My whole career has been in law enforcement," states Dumanis. She admitted to have gone through some changes because of her gender to make her more palatable to the masses. She got a haircut, began to wear make-up and obtained a consultant to help with her wardrobe. This issue of needing to look feminine and fulfill a stereotype in f rom p age i community, but to no avail. "I believe in personal freedom, fiscal responsibility and accountability. These are the corner stones of the Republican party...I have to be true to myself," Dumanis said. are women," Tierney said, "and I think it worked to our advantage...and people just love Bonnie." Dumanis and Tierney also attribute the victory to San Diego's changing demographics and a series of defeated obstacles, such as negative perceptions of her gender and personal lifestyle. Historically, as maintained by the San Diego County Registrar of Voters since 1991, San Diego County is a more conservative region, meaning that the majority of its populous votes conservatively, so it was a big deal when voters designated a gay Republican woman as their new D.A by a margin of only 3,500 votes in the closest election in Southern California history. "We were very underestimated because we Because of the obstacles relating to gender and sexual orientation, Dumanis and Tierney had to change the nature of the campaign so that it, according to Tierney, focused not only on "why to choose Bonnie, but why not the other guy;" this in reference to the borderline smear campaign necessary to win the election.

"I thought things had changed," said Farmer in reference to feminine acceptance based on a compliance with an imposed cultural standard, "but obviously they haven't." Besides the negative cultural perception of her gender, Dumanis didn't get the support of her own political party because of her gay lifestyle, according to her close friend and political consultant Jennifer Tierney. Many friends and colleagues tried to get Dumanis to switch political parties because Democrats are perceived as being more friendly to the homosexual Keith Speers from page 1 Speers was responsible for working with the ASI board of directors and overseeing that ASI staff implements the board's goals. The executive director serves as a member on the division of student affairs senior management team and directs the financial, risk management and developmental aspects of ASI. ASI staff has refused to disclose Speers' salary. However, in a copy of the Fall 2002 ASI budget obtained by The Pride, it was acknowledged that $201,517 was allotted for the salaries of the part-time and fulltime professional staff, who included Speers as executive director; Poggi, who was then the assistant executive director; Marilyn McWilliams as administrative assistant; and Helen Hinton, program director for the Early Learning Center. Hinton is no longer on staff with ASI. The board appointed Poggi as Interim Executive Director at the Mar. 14 meeting. This position, as determined by the board, will last for one year. Poggi has been with ASI since Mar. 11, 2002. She said that she "wants to become the ASI attorney Richard Bromley refused to comment on the Speers' situation, explaining that because he is counsel for ASI, it is "inappropriate" for him to discuss any aspect of it. Brown wanted to clarify that the departure of Speers Union Tribune," Dumanis said, then Tierney added, "but he didn't have the support of San Diego lawyers, and that helped a lot." Paul Pfingst, the incumbent, earned a vote of no confidence from the county prosecutors' union after a series of events that called Pfingst's ethics into question. Dumanis capitalized on the scandals, which according to the North County Times included two "gender discrimination lawsuits that cost the county more than 1.25 million dollars," as well as a history of marijuana use. "Everything was truthful," Tierney said, "but we just didn't show the incumbent in the best light." and installment of Poggi as interim should be a smooth one, which should not result in any "break of business." Both Brown and Poggi believe that the student population will not notice the change in leadership. The approval of the official copy of the minutes from the Mar. 14 meeting is on the agenda of the next meeting of the ASI board, which is scheduled for Mar. 28, in Commons 206 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Once approved, these minutes are available upon request. However, it is possible that the released minutes will continue to questions unanswered about Speers' sudden departure. bl By GABRIEL MARTIN Pride Staff Writer The 75th annual Academy Awards were held on schedule this year, but it was a slightly more subdued, and shorter,, c eremony than in previous years. Chicago won the most awards, a total of six, and the Holocaust drama, The Pianist, won three. S The increased likelihood of ^ war led many to believe that the ceremony would be altered in some way. While there were cutaways to news updates once every hour, the ceremony largely went without any mention of the war until the last two hours. Attending stars were heavily conflicted as to appropriate behavior. Stars had reportedly asked their designers to set aside a dark suit in addition to the gowns they had already chosen. Some decided to go ahead with * traditional glamour, including Halle Berry, who claimed her gown would inspire the troops. Nicole Kidman said in Entertainment Weekly that she was "in two minds" about attending the event during a war. "There are two arguments, aren't there, where they say you need to continue on with things and not be stopped, and then there's the other thing where you just say, of course, it would feel very strange to show up," she said. A few stars eventually decided not to attend, including presenter Will Smith, whose publicist said he "felt uncomfortable attending." Many of the stars felt it inappropriate to speak out directly against the war, instead silently protesting by wearing small golden dove pins, symbolizing a desire for world peace. away by the LAPD. When they tried to approach the venue, police pushed them back, and eventually twelve were arrested.

A few winners and presenters used the stage to speak about the war. The first person to speak out on the stage was presenter Gael Garcia, who mentioned that if Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, the subject of a film nominated for several awards, was alive she would be protesting against the war. Michael Moore, the winner for best documentary, proclaimed during his speech, "We live in fictional times. We live in a time when we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons. Shame on you, Mr. Bush!" His remarks led to scattered applause and some boos. Later, best actor winner Adrien Brody received a standing ovation for his "prayer for a peaceful and swift resolution." He dedicated his award to a friend serving overseas. After the show, he was reported as saying it was difficult "to celebrate when there is sadness and conflict in the world, but our achievements are valid and we deserve to celebrate that." Nicole Kidman defended the decision to hold the Oscars during wartime in her best actress acceptance speech, saying, "Art is important, because you believe in what you do, and there's a tradition that needs to be upheld." When asked his views about whether holding the awards on Sunday was appropriate, Honorary Oscar winner Peter O'Toole said, "If we civilians can't go on properly, what are they fighting for?" Best original screenplay winner Pedro Almodovar dedicated his award to the peace movement.

While traditional pain treatments may no longer be effective, some have found one that is. The problem is that its use is against the law. People suffering from illnesses as varied as anorexia, migraines, chronic pain, AIDS, and cancer have found relief by smoking marijuana, and the federal government is taking action against them. The Proposition Proposition 215, The Compassionate Use Act of 1996, passed by a small majority of California voters, provides for the growing and possession of small quantities of marijuana. State police have been instructed about how to handle citizens who are found with small amounts of marijuana for medical use, since patients and their caregivers may grow and possess marijuana any amount of marijuana. for medical purposes in the This conflict among State of California. governmental agencies, and the question of state Prop. 215 added a section sovereignty versus federal to the California Health and jurisdiction, is more than Safety code providing that academic.

However, McWilliams considers them restrictive, unnecessary, and in violation of the will of the voters as expressed in the passage of Prop. 215. McWilliams smokes marijuana in order to alleviate the pain he suffers from a motorcycle accident. He and his housemate cultivate the drug for their own medical use. "We considered ourselves an information resource center," said McWilliams, and clarifies that they never sell or distribute marijuana. "We are very strict," he says. He continues that "for protection under the law," he requires the patients who approached him to have a letter from their physician, stating that the patient would be helped by using marijuana.

He plans to move to northern California, where medical marijuana laws are more liberal. "I believe in democracy. I believe in America," said McWilliams, but he added, "today, sick and dying people have the right to this medication." According to McWilliams, there are a number of countries investigating therapeutic marijuana, including New Zealand, Portugal, and Spain. Locally, UCSD is conducting a similar study on marijuana.

U.S. have determined Battling Pinky Boys and Promoting Sacred Slack By JEFF BROWNLEE Pride Staff Writer The Church of the SubGenius is an unabashed cult. It is among a group of "new" religions that many may not be familiar with. The movement was conceived and designed using academic studies of cults and cult phenomena. Religious cults typically provide their members with an all-consuming imperative goal to pursue, which if examined rationally will often make no logical sense at all. For the sub genii, this goal is the pursuit of slack. are notoriously difficult, time-consuming to grow, and plagued with problems, including pests. According to McWilliams, it takes about four months for a plant to fully mature from seedlings. He has invited patients, police officers, and city council members to his home to view the garden. Although it is behind a protective fence, he says that he has been very open about his activities. Another ubiquitous characteristic of religious cults is the veneration of a leader whom followers view as having a special connection to the divine. J.R. "Bob" Dobbs, "The Living Slack Master and High Eptot," fulfills this role for the altered state Church of the SubGenius. of consciousness.

Some sug- organization is genuine in the beliefs they do espouse. Nonetheless, a careful and repeated reading of their l iterature reveals some consistent ideas. They believe that the planet Earth is under the control of an immensely powerful extra terrestrial being, Jehovah 1, who is an essentially selfish entity but one that can be placated in order to achieve "slack" for humanity. "Slack" can be defined as getting something for nothing, or as having more than enough time to do everything one wants to do. Slack is a state of being very similar to the Christian notion of living under Grace. The sub genii have been involved in working with Jehovah 1 for millennia, with the goal of creating a paradise on Earth. These sub genii have been consistently thwarted by sinister "Pink Boys" who insist on perpetuating false notions such as economic scarcity and the law of preservation of energy. The pink boys seem to be some kind of malignant cabal dedicated to keeping humanity enslaved to capitalism and conventional morality. They are responsible for our modern systems of ethics, religion, and economics that deprive individuals of their Jehovah 1-given right to slack. Year in and year out, the sub genii predict a cataclysmic apocalypse to occur on July 5, and the church celebrates accordingly each year on that date. The failure of such an apocalypse to actually occur has led some to suggest that sub genii merely use this supposed day of reckoning as an excuse to hold riotous parties, though the church denies this. Those interested in a religion that can be used to justify almost any kind of hedonistic excess and not opposed to exposing themselves to further spiritual confusion as well as to possible police surveillance can contact the church of the SubGenius at www.subgenius.com.

Women Performers Dance the Middle East and Mexico UCLA shows world cultures through dance By DIANA K. CABUTO Pride Staff Writer In celebration of Women's History month, culture, dance, and tradition was what the Cal State San Marcos audience, students, and teachers experienced with the UCLA performers on Tuesday, March 18th in the Arts Building.

They danced some Middle Eastern moves like the rump 'shaking shimmy' that characterizes Middle Eastern folk dance. They also enjoyed dancing with partners in some of the traditional dances that have originated in Oaxaca. Both the audience and the performers were happy to interact with each other. When Rabb was asked about her experience with the students at Cal State San Marcos, she responded, "Speaking for my entire group I can say that interacting with the students at CSUSM was an absolute pleasure, and most of us in the folklore graduate program at UCLA hope to become teachers one day and Maria Gonzalez, a sophomore so the classroom experience for pre-business student at CSUSM, us is invaluable." said, "I am happy to see this type of presentation, in which the The presentation and perforaudience interacts more with the mance lasted two hours, and the performers, and actually learns audience was delighted.

In its first year and a half the site has seen some 335,940 visitors and is now celebrating its 25,000th individual evaluation and its 10,000th different professor evaluated. The site's traffic rating has made them one of the largest college sites in the world. Upon browsing the site I found it to be informative as well as entertaining. First, at the top of every page is the Quote of the Moment, in which amusing quotes from Homer Simpson to George Carlin to Dan Quayle are shown. Then in the evaluation section is the A+ Club where the best-rated professors are showcased. Another section is titled Q&A with Ross, where questions are posed and Ross attempts to respond in a humorous manner, and is oftentimes successful. Kasey on College is yet another section of the site that attempts to offer advice to issues of college life in general.

Some of them are absolutely ingenious, and I recommend at least visiting that particular part of the site.

By JARED THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer addition, both ASI and parking services are trying to create a direct left-hand turn into the lot in the near future, which would facilitate accessibility. "We want to show the students that they are getting something out of this [parking] fee increase," explained Brown. Curb parking, which was available last semester to relieve tense parking conditions, is now prohibited. Parking services claims that curb parking is no longer necessary since Lot X, a dirt lot located at the corner of Twin Oaks and Craven Dr., is currently available. Each semester, the need for parking spaces relatively close to the campus increases. When questioned about the absence of curb parking, Robert Williams, CSUSM parking services coordinator, explained that curb parking was an emergency measure last semester, which first needs city approval for long-term use because it uses the space allottedforbike lanes and emergency vehicles. Williams said that curb parking was a short-term solution that "allowed [parking services] the time needed to open inconvenience for students who liberal studies major.

Williams added that the next "general surface lot is slated for the area behind the faculty/staff lot," and that this lot will have the capacity for about 600 vehicles. The new general surface lot is tentatively scheduled for the spring of2004, but its availability may not fully rectify the growing need for parking spaces; so there may be a need for Lot X even after the completion of the new lot. services and ASI are concerned about the potential for theft and personal assault after it gets dark. Currently, ASI is working on establishing temporary lighting, which would extend the lot's availability to 10 p.m. In By the academic year 2011/12, parking services plans to complete two parking structures that will house approximately 1,200 parking spaces each. As reported on the parking services website, in an effort to accumulate funds for this project, parking services will again implement a parking fee increase upwards of $300 beginning next fall. P ower s hut o ff a t C SUSM By JEFF BROWNLEE Pride Staff Writer Electrical workers turned off CSUSM's electrical service on Monday, Jan. 20. The installation of a new emergency generator necessitated the shutdown. Even though the period without electricity was brief and during the early morning hours of a holiday, some students questioned why the entire system needed to be shut down and whether this is a reflection of possible deficiencies in*CSUSM's electrical service system. These concerns appear to be unwarranted. Ken Collier, a journeyman electrician and member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers local 569, as well as an instructor on electrical theory at the Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee in San Diego, answered questions about the installation of emergency generators for industrial applications. According to Collier, generators such as the one installed at CSUSM require the use of an automatic transfer switch or ATS. The ATS senses a lack of power in an established electrical distribution system and switches over to a generator usually driven by a gasoline or diesel engine. The ATS is more than a simple switch, as it also starts the emergency generator and performs electronic motor control operations regulating the generators output. Through the use of the ATS, an electrical system can be functioning again within seconds of a power failure. When electrical service is reestablished the ATS automatically switches back to the main switchgear providing power from the electrical utility, to new construction, such an emergency generator would be built into the electrical distribution system before power from the utility had been established, eliminating the need for any interruption of power. The ATS and generator at CSUSM had to be spliced into the existing distribution system. To avoid working on the high voltages present at the main switchgear, which is neither safe nor practical, the power was temporarily interrupted. installed primarily in hospitals and in industrial operations where uninterrupted power was considered critical. The growing dependence of almost all businesses and services on computers and other digital equipment requiring uninterrupted power Heretofore, emergency power has made the use of emergency generation systems had been power generators more ubiqui- tous. The emergency generator installed at CSUSM is meant to ensure that a constant and reliable supply of electricity is always available for students and faculty.

The parameters Kaplan was referring to was the 1.7-mile long protest route, which began at the intersection of Embarcadero and Market St., continued down Market St. and ended in front of San Francisco City Hall. On Saturday, Jan. 18 in San Francisco, there was an antiwar protest. Organized by the International A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) Coalition, the protest was widely deemed the largest anti-war ¡protest seen in San Francisco since the Vietnam era. At various points along the route, CSUSM student and first-time protester Justin Lessel climbed on top of things like trash cans to get a better view of things. His frank assessment of the scene was that he ".. .couldn't see an end to the people in either CNN.com reported that tens of thousands of people crowded the streets of downtown San Francisco.

Yamout said, "This isn't the first time I've heard of the news underreporting the attendance at peace rallies. Just last fall A.N.S.W.E.R held a rally in DC and the Washington Post reported that only like 10,000 people had been there when in fact there'd been closer to 100,000. Eventually due to public pressure for them to come clean, they printed a correct article, which reported the actual attendance as being around 100,000. It's stuff like that that makes me skeptical of what I hear in [the] news." Recently, a website was created in an attempt to accurately tabulate the actual number of anti-war protesters throughout the U.S. John Kromko, former Arizona state legislator and cocreator of peacedemo.org, said that the reason he helped create this site is because he felt that, "...the national media typically reports only the number of protesters in protests in a few large cities, which shields pur elected officials from seeing the true depth of opposition to the war." Martin Eder, longtime organizer for Activist San Diego, concurred with that assessment, stating in an email that, "...onJanuary 18th we saw around 1,200 people marching with us in the San Diego Coalition for Peace and Justice contingent of the Martin Luther King Day parade, but unless you were there you probably would've never heard because it just wasn't reported accurately in the news."

In an effort to move toward a remedy and a better future, several options need to be examined and considered for widespread implementation. An easy avoidance method has been to pass the buck onto future generations. But now, it may be that a generation with the past on its shoulders chooses to role up its sleeves instead of turn its nose. As environmental damages, become more difficult to ignore, as the national population continues to grow exponentially, and as the world is once again facing political turmoil in the Middle East, a region economically crucial for its vast oil reserves, now may be the time to make more meaningful efforts to find alternative energy sources and step toward alternative living styles. the average miles per gallon figure of new cars and trucks deteriorated by nearly 8 percent, from 22.1 in 1988 to 20.4 in 2001, says Consumer Reports. Ideally, efficiency would be apportioned to improve emissions, miles per gallon (mpg), and horsepower. Overall, cars are only using about 15% of the energy in fuel; 75% of gasoline's energy is lost in the process of running the car. Because of this, the potential to improve fuel economy with advanced technologies is enormous. Motor vehicles need energy Here are the main options to accelerate (overcome inertia), currently being proposed by to push air out of their way experts: (aerodynamic drag), to overcome the friction from tires, wheels, More-efficient technology and axles (rolling resistance), as well as to run accessories Technology today, with like air conditioning and power all of its advancements and steering. When engine friction, breakthroughs, is primarily waste heat, and other various funneled into boosting losses such as these are eating horsepower.

From 1981 Each of thefinaluses of energy to 2001, average horsepower represents "an opportunity increased 84 percent, and 0-to- to improve fuel economy," 60-mph acceleration improved according to the EPA.

Smoother vehicle shapes have already reduced [aerodynamic] drag significantly, but further reductions of 2030% are possible. Advanced tire designs can cut rolling resistance." I by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), an independent research organization created by Congress, "If fuel economy had not improved, gasoline consumption would be about 2.8 million barrels per day (or 14 percent) greater than it is." CAFE standards, however, have remained frozen at the 1985 level for cars and the 1996 level of 20.7 mpg for light trucks, and the auto industry has fought against further increases. Higher fuel taxes While this is not the most appealing option to consumers, it cannot be denied that high fuel prices result in greater fuel conservation. In Europe and Japan, for instance, high fuel taxes have resulted in gasoline prices of $4 (US) per gallon or more, which in turn has created a large demand for smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles. In the U.S., however, high fuel taxes are unpopular and politically forlorn. It is unlikely that significant increases in gasoline taxes would pass anytime soon. Lisa Dufresne, a senior and an accounting major, captured popular American sentiment with her statement, "I would prefer to keep [gas prices and consumption rates] the Way they are out of personal convenience, even though it is pretty selfserving." "Even if I knew it was better for the environment, I would keep things the same," echoed senior Graham Smorzewski. "I can barely afford gas as it is now," he said.

According to a recent study "Government regulation is necessary," voiced Kate Irwin, a senior and sociology major. "It's important to have the government watching over to ensure that we're taking measures to protect our environment." While CAFE has been helpful, the standards have serious loopholes and have not been increased in years. Significant improvements won't happen without governmental pressure, and to that end, it seems the standards should be allowed to maintain gradual improvements. Consumers9 Role People often attempt to make a personal statement through the car they drive - whether it is a statement of status, power, or strength. But the latest car-asstatement, says Alexander's Gas and Oil Connections, a website providing an overview of global oil news, "is an unornamented Japanese subcompact driven by people who want to poke a finger in the eye of Saddam Hussein, the oil sheiks and the neighbors who jump into gas-guzzling sport utility vehicles for a drive to the grocery store." Along with the potential statement that smarter cars can make, their purchase functions as a vote cast for better fuel economy.

Achieving particularly high gas mileage, new electric, hybrid-electric, and diesel engine technologies have hit the marketplace in the last decade. The numbers of these cars actually on the road, however, are trifling, and the detriment of the popular vehicles surrounding them in the marketplace overshadows their efforts toward positive change. The new, greener technology also tends to give Americans the impression that the overall marketplace is more conscious than it is in actuality^ Buying a more fuel-efficient vehicle, no matter what class, saves money on gas, may help reduce U.S. petroleum dependence, and sends a signal to carmakers to use advanced technology for increased energy efficiency.

They are off in masses, but not to the little red planet that is our neighbor. Instead they are going to the Mars located in Utah, one of the Mars Analog Research Stations created by the Mars Society. The Mars Society is an international organization that was founded in August 1998. The society is currently about 5,000 members strong, including the 50 to 60 members in San Diego. The society is both a scientific and social organization that combines experimentation with social activities. The society has created two Mars Analog Research stations, one in Devon Island in the Arctic that operated for two months and the other in the midst of Utah's deserts. On February 28, 2001, San Diego created is own chapter of the society and has since played an important role in the research stations, which serve as their mission support and control center. The Mars Analog Research Station in Utah is comprised of "the Hab." "The Hab'Vis a two-deck cylindrical structure with an eight-meter diameter that serves as the habitat for the crewmembers, as well as several peripheral external structures; some are inflatable and some may be attached to "the Hab". The crew is comprised of six members* of different chapters of the society; each crew stays at the habitat for two weeks. The crewmembers drive ATV's, which are vehicles that are similar to ones that have been used on the moon, in their space suits, explore their environment, perform geological experiments, and are attempting to grow plants in a "greenhab" with various soil samples in an atmosphere similar to what might be found on Mars. Currently/ the Mars Society is in complete control of these experiments. NASA has made its priority the Mir Space Station. The internationally manned station that is currently in orbit around earth has taken the bulk of NASA's funding. Due fo this lack of focus on Mars, it is unknown what NASA will do with the Mars Society's findings. The crew at the Research Station in Utah communicates with the San Diego based Mission Control via the Internet. They send typed reports that are filtered through a director to various members who specialize in different scientific fields. The communication is taken very seriously and is performed as realistically as possible, including invoking a five to ten minute time delay that would be realistic in the actual scenario. This allows for the researchers to realize any problems that might arise due to time delays or to be able to rectify any glitches in the system, in order to prevent M embers c onduct s imulation s cenarios to t ry a nd a nticiactual emergencies if astronauts pate p roblems f uture e xplorers may encounter, c ourtesy Photo/Marssociety.org. were to go to Mars. about difficulties due to language contributions to both the field In addition to fulfilling barriers that may arise in the of science and the San Diego scientific interests, the society future. community have not gone offers many of its members the unnoticed.

Confused and distraught, you are contemplating what you have just read in the title. Trust me, this trick is much more difficult to perform than it would ever be to read! Surfing may possibly be one of the greatest spectator sports. Some people agree that it is even better when you are out there in the water doing it yourself, trying to be one of the 'big boys.' learned this trick from a magazine called Transworld Surf. The issue is entitled, "Emision de Santa Cruz." I can't even do this trick yet, nor do I think that I ever will be able to; however I'm improving with practice. This trick, according to the magazine, ranks very high on the difficulty meter. My best advice would be to stretch really well and do a lot of practice heats before attempting this. First, start off by "hauling ass," meaning you should begin paddling as fast as you can to gather up enough speed before you come barreling down the wave. When you reach the bottom of the wave, whip off Here is a trick to try the next time you are out in the water. I the lip and keep your weight as light as possible while keeping centered on the board. As you whip off your lip, your board should now be freely flying through the air. Your back foot should be placed firmly on the tail of the board while the front foot places itself on the nose and at the same time prepare yourself for landing. When you land, pound the nose of the board with your front foot into the water, keeping your weight centered so the whole' board hits the water. If your front foot is not centered, the tail will shake, causing you to lose all balance and inevitably you will crash horribly as the wave rolls over you. The last step for this trick is to stand on the nose of your board and ride backward for a little bit, only so you look cool while you're riding in the wave, actually proving that you have just pulled something off. The feeling of accomplishment will soon override your whole body, allowing you to feel like you can do anything. doing airs. Don't get me wrong though, doing airs can be every surfer's dream, at the same time every surfer's nightmare. Nowa-days, doing airs are required in any professional surfing competition because almost every pro is able to perform them; and when they do, they do it really well, with complete accuracy I know this trick sounds really and perfection. hard to perform, but it almost Therefore, competition like doing a snap (or cutback), amongst individual surfers are only you're in the air. One of the first and foremost constantly rising because new things is to gather, up enough tricks are invented almost everyspeed. Without the right amount day and it is hard for an amateur of speed, it will be difficult for like, you and I to keep track with you to rise your board out of the this fast paced world of surfing water, and if you can't do that, expedition.

Because I'm a glutton for punishment, I decided to read it. That was a big mistake because I'm still mad. > This piece of propaganda from parking services starts out explaining the parking fee increases by saying how "we've had it pretty good," because, before 1999, parking was either free or 12-14 dollars a month. The article actually refers to our dismal parking condition as "our happy, low-cost parking situation." First of all I don't consider parking services (or the adminis- ment increases, a lack of space tration for that matter) a part of and how our "individual deci"we."

I want "The 155 percent [parking] parking services to explain how fee increase we all enjoyed to make carpooling and public this semester made Cal transportation work when we all have different schedules, job State f a n and family responsibilities; and live all over the county. I guess it's easier to imply that parking fees increased because students services are not in this together. don't carpool or ride the bus. Secondly, it infuriates me to be told how good I've got it because Another interesting statement years ago students didn't have to was that "while parking fees at pay for plentiful parking. other CSU campuses have been in the general range of those at The author of this piece goes Cal State San Marcos, 11 of the on to explain that the parking other campuses have proposed fee increases are necessary to increases". This suggests to me raise money for future parking that even with the increase, our structures because of enroll- 155 percent fee increase we all enjoyed this semester made Cal State San Marcos the highest in the CSU system. I understand about budgets, building funds and bonds. I understand that we have to step up and pay more for less, so that the next generation of students won't have it worse. But I am sick to death of the spin and propaganda put out by parking services and pubic relations and I don't want to hear it anymore. It's an insult to my intelligence. Instead of telling us "how good we've had it" acknowledge our parking fees are in line with the efforts and sacrifices and just tell other CSU schools. .However us thank-you. Bruce Kauffman of the North County Times, reported in an • www.csusm.edu/parking/ article dated 1/19/03 that the parking_fee_increase.htm PSTTQM ctii/Wit ciihmiccirm Anti-War Movement Fo p g 2 rm ae entire procession of protesters to reach the rallying point of city hall. Contrary to Vietnam era stereotypes of anti-war protesters, the protesters were largely representative of a multi-racial spcio-economically diverse mainstream America. There were soccer moms pushing strollers covered in peace signs, grandparents hoisting signs proclaiming "No War - Not In Our Name " kids of all ages beating all kinds of makeshift drums giving the march a sort of heartbeat, a small elderly marching band playing John Lennon's Imagine, working class types holding pro-union signs and shouting "¡Si Se Puede!" conservatively attired protesters holding signs saying things like "No Blood For Oil" and "Disarm Bush," and there were hippies protesting too. During the protest, Lessel remarked on more than one occasion that he was, "...surprised that most of the protesters looked like ordinary Americans.. .because [he] was kind of expecting to see nothing but your stereotypical hippies." In the Jan. 13 issue of the San Francisco Chronicle, Ruth Rosen wrote, "Never before in human history has an anti-war movement grown so fast and spread so quickly. It is even more remarkable because the war has yet to begin. Publicized throughout cyberspace, the antiwar movement has left behind its sectarian roots and entered mainstream culture." Jan. 18 was a day of both national, and global antiwar protesting with protests simultaneously occurring in various major metropolitan areas around the U.S. and in over 30 nations. CNN.com reported that the week before the protest, the FBI sent a bulletin to over 18,000 law enforcement organizations around the nation warning them to be ready for the possibility of violent protests. CNN.com reported after the protest, "There were no reports of such incidents, or of any violence or confrontations." In Washington DC, three dozen people protesting the anti-war protests gathered at the Vietnam War Memorial to offer their support to the Bush administration's policy on Iraq. One of these protesters was *55 year-old Scott Johnson, a Navy veteran from Minneapolis who asserted that, "The protesters don't understand the threat of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein... k's a war of liberation for people." This past weekend, U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell told European political and business leaders at a conference in Switzerland that the U.S. remains willing to attack Iraq alone. CNN.com reported that, "In a 30-minute address that broke no new ground but attempted to enlist world support for U.S. military action against Iraq, Powell rejected criticism from delegates that the United States has not provided enough evidence that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein retains weapons of mass destruction." Powell went on to say, "The more we wait, the more chance there i s,for this dictator with clear ties to terrorist groups including al Qaeda— to pass a weapon, share a technology or use these weapons again. The nexus of tyrants and terror, of terrorists and weapons of mass destruction, is the greatest danger of our age." Judging by the language of the signs and chants at the San Francisco protest, it would be safe to say that the protesters reject the Bush administration's pro-war arguments. CSUSM student and first-time protester Tasha Iglesias said she was glad she'd driven herself and three other CSUSM students to San Francisco for the protest. She Photo c ourtesy o f w ww.internationalanswer.org. remarked that, "It's just so nice to know that I'm not really crazy, that I'm not alone, that there are -actually TONS of people who feel the way I do about this issue. I mean, before I came to this protest, from watching the news I actually thought that there weren't many other Americans who were against a war with Iraq. But I'm glad I came here because now I know I was wrong to think that." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The most talked about issue since students returned to CSUSM, parking, is turning yet another page in its growing saga. One of the latest developments was that on Sept. 26 , curb parking was planned to be discontinued and would no longer be allowed. However, information recently released by Parking Services states that the allowance of curb parking would continue after Sept. 26 , th th Coordinator of Parking Services Patti Hale was not available for comment, but according to information obtained in the Parking Services office, "Due to the overwhelming amount of vehicles on campus, Emergency Curb Parking will continue until Parking Services explores other alternatives." However, no information was given on what or when these other alternatives will be explored. The only day curb parking will not be permitted is parking, and curb parking.

It seems that until Parking Services can develop a plan to accommodate all of the vehicles on campus, curb parking will remain an inevitable part of life at CSUSM. News Feature HME page 3-4 Arts.

Last fall, for example, we th enrolled sixty-eight percent of the previous spring. I think the improved continuation rate could be seen as a positive reflection of the quality of education our students are receiving here." In addition to the large increase in the percentage of enrolled students last spring who continued in the fall, the reason for the increase in students is based on other factors as well. According to Riehl, "The additional construction of the campus and the growing public image are some of the main attractions to first time freshmen. The weakened job economy and tighter job market might be partially responsible for the improved continuation rate from last spring. All campuses in the CSU system are experiencing similar unexpected growth, so it is a statewide phenomenon." Compared to the Fall 2002, there were about 700 who applied, and now the school already has 1,200 prospective students who have applied for Spring 2003. CSUSM is currently budgeted for nearly 7,400 students on an annual average. The unofficial count on students for this semester is 7,600 and this will be either confirmed or changed with the census count that was held at the end of September and will be released in early October. Riehl did not say what they will do if the number of students admitted reaches school capacity. Although the requirements to get into CSUSM are the same, Riehl said that there is still a need to remind students interested in attending Cal State San Marcos to apply early and make sure that they have all the docu- TENURE from page 1 Brodowsky, Assistant Professor account of her many good o Marketing, and S Vourlitis and Thomas Wahlund Afssistant Professortephen Zera, qualities. of Finance, from the Biology Department; as new Associate Professors with Some awardees were not and Robert Yamashita from the tenure. able to attend due to health Liberal Studies Department. problems or because they Dean arion Reid from he From the College of Busi- Library Mnd Information Ster- were otfeaching classes at the a ness Administration, Dean vices recognized Jacqueline time the ceremony.

There are no plans for preferential enrollment at this time, and both transfer students as well as incoming freshmen will be viewed as equals in the admittance process, Riehl said.

University officials hope this library will become the focal of the school. However, unless Proposition 47 passes this coming November, the library will have a problem with becoming fully laden with the equipment needed for this possible state-of-the-art facility. CSUSM's new Kellogg Library will be a 200,000-square-foot facility compared to the current library, which is 28,000 ft. This new library has the promise of being a focal point for the whole of the North County community.

The Brown Bag World Music Concert Series is a part of the fall schedule for the Arts & Lectures events on campus. The week started fiercely with the audacious, and at times overwhelming, sound of the North Australian Didjeridu. The Aboriginal native instrument, created of a hollowed eucalyptus tree limb, was used to create sounds native to the animals of Australia. Randy Graves, master instrumentalist of the Didjeridu, used the primal instrument to tell adventurous stories from the animal point of view.

The Scream Zone is the largest haunted attraction in San Diego, featuring 12,000 square feet of 3-D thrills. Each year the event features a new theme, and this year it is "Gothic-Frankenstein." This year the Scream Zone was designed and hand painted by former Disney 3-D expert, R.J. Ogren. The new 3-D effects take the Scream Zone production to a whole new level. Not only do the 3-D effects seem real, but also there are ghosts and Goblins that may just reach out and grab you. The Scream Zone has hired 23 actors who have spent hours rehearsing and who often put on more than fifty pounds of makeup and costumes on order to portray zombies and ghosts. As a warning to those who are fearless enough to go to the event, the Scream Zone is not intended for children under the age of ten, and is really geared towards teenagers and adults. If the little ones are screaming for a ghoulish adventure, a special Kids' Day "Fun Zone" is planned for October 27 from 1 to 4 p.m. The Fun Zone will include pumpkin carving, costume contests, candy, prizes, and of course trick-or-treating. th such successful artists is a testimony to the support for talented Asian Americans within the industry.

Transitions between these scenes are preempted by sound from the other narrative before the scene shift takes place. The effect of these segues suggests a strong emotive connection between the two characters bordering on the telepathic. By DESOMND BARCA Design Editor Usually when one goes to the movies, one expects to observe a series of dramatized situations and hopefully be entertained by the story, character development, musical score and visual stimuli. Most of us like to go to the movies to laugh, or to lose ourselves in a larger than life adventure or romance, and sometimes we just want to kill a few hours in a dark air-conditioned space with comfy seats. Das Experiment is definitely not a film for someone looking for this sort of light entertainment. Das experiment is Germany's official entry for Best Foreign Language Film; it has been nominated for the European Film Awards Best European Film 2001.

The majority of the Rush: Vapor Trails Tour By KURT MAYER Pride Staff Writer The legendary Canadian musical trio Rush performed live at the Coors Amphitheater in Chula Vista on Wednesday, September 25. The show was nearly sold out, and the fans were ecstatic to see one of the greatest performing bands of the last three decades - alive, well, and rocking out on tour once again. Rush is such an esteemed force in the music industry that no opening band was required; truthfully, no band could hope to compare! Rush came on stage at 8:15 and played until 11:30. The music was synchronized with hundreds of lights and lasers. Video cameras broadcast closeups of the musicians on three enormous projection screens, layered with custom animations and ambience effects. On these screens, fans watched, awestruck, as bassisi Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson performed intricate acoustic and electric guitar work, as well as keyboard work. Drummer Neil Peart brought fans to a standing ovation with a fifteen-minute drum solo on his 360-degree rotating drum kit. Awesome! The Coors Amphitheater is acoustically designed and padded with sound-reflective walls to accommodate full symphony orchestras, so the sound quality was perfect. New songs like "Earthshine" and "Ghost Rider" rang out into the night with the utmost clarity, as did classics like "The Trees" and "Red Sector A" and even the famous 1970's hit "Working Man". A Cal State San Marcos student who lives in Chula Vista, but did not attend the show, said he could hear the bass clearly from his yard. Indeed, the canyons and desert winds of Chula Vista probably enabled sound waves to resonate as far as Impe- talent to rival that of Ludwig von rial County and Mexico!

No matter what conflict is at hand, two wrongs do not make a right. Therefore, the only result of the argument is the escalation of the conflict that often turns into street fights. Really! Is skateboarding harder than inline skating or vice versa? I believe they are two different sports, and anyone who tries to say which sport is better than the other is clearly an idiot who is overgeneralizing. Little do these people, who create conflict, know that they are wasting their time. Instead offighting,they could be practicing, having fun, and not worrying about which sport is better. They overlook the fact that when they are skateboarding or inline skating they are free, not bound to the inline skater or skateboarder role of hating each other because their equipment is different. Actu- ally, skateboarders and inline skaters are very similar to one another. They are both involved in a new revolution of sports, and like to roll around to have fun. So why is it necessary to repeat the cycle of argument and disgust for one another? I know the answer. Skateboarders and inline skaters conflict with one another because they do not take the time to acknowledge the person behind the equipment, Many lack the perspective to see other athletes on terms that are different than the ones prescribed to them by their peers, socialization, or industry, Open your eyes, inline skaters and skateboarders, to each other and you may see there is a whole new world where skateboarders and inline skaters get along because they choose to see each other as a person as opposed to a symbol of something they have been taught to dislike, Louie Zamora Airs from e ramp to another. Photo courtesy of Steven Zamora. By STEVEN ZAMORA Pride Staff Writer I am sick and tired of being told to buy a skateboard, being verbally attacked^ or often col-"lidtng with skateboarders who mean to harm me just because I am an inline skater. I am also sick and tired of inline skaters getting so upset at skateboarders as to sink to their level and be the ones to start conflict or even contribute to it. If there is an overt discrimination to be seen in society, it is between skateboarders and inline skaters. I hate the feeling that I get when I'm skating at a street spot or at a skate park, and I see a skateboarder, purposely^ try. to fnake fun of 6r*even crash*into me. No one person likes to be in fear, however inline skaters must put up with it all the time. Not to say that skateboarders don't have the same feeling I have, but they are less likely to experience fear, because there are more skateboarders than inline skaters, which is apparent in society - ask yourself how many more skateboarders, on average, do you see as opposed to inline skaters? Insults that begin with "Our sport is harder than yours, fruitbooter" only further demonstrate how skateboarders are acting in a discriminatory manner toward inline skaters. However, the responses made in retaliation to the skateboarders by the inline skaters are the worst. These insults begin with, "keep on pushin' your wood; and by the way save the Capitalism starts and begins with laborers. Laborers, sometimes called proletariats, are the majority.

And of course, our work produces more to feed into the pool of products waiting to be bought. I will refrain from lecturing on the environmental effects of this type of consumerism and stick to the politics. My concern lies most in the notion that we do not realize we are pawns in a system that mostly benefits the miniscule percentage at the top of big-business and media - in other words, that we do not realize what capitalism is.

I know many of you feel this way too, given the tasty choices the Dome has to offer. We need a little variety in our food court selection, to say the least. Let's break it down. We've got a soup/salad bar, Casa Del Sol (Mexican/Burger joint), Nana's pizza and subs (the only food remotely worthy of consumption), and last and certainly least, House of Tsang. We've all heard about the overthe-summer renovations (fresher foods, bigger selection) that were to make the Dome more palatable for the students this fall. Student Gail Tarantino shared with me a personal account of what these "improvements" exactly entailed. "I went to Casa Del Sol to try the new baked chicken plate that they serve. The server pulled a As an expression of our care and concern, I ask each of us to think of ways we can acknowledge Alex Zingaro's life and honor his memory For my part, I will show that I value my fellow students by taking the time to smile or say Hi! as we pass each other between classes, cold baked chicken plate from the refrigerator, and proceeded to throw it into the fryer. When I asked the server what they were doing throwing the baked chicken plate into the fryer, they told me it was to warm it up." with cafeterias containing Taco Bells, McDonalds, and other well-known food stands. Why are CSUSM students subjected to sub-par food when other college students are actually enjoying their meals? We are students driven by our appetites. And what do we get between classes? Overcooked, marginal at best, Mexican and Chinese foo3. I'll give Nana's a little credit since it's pretty fresh and relatively palatable pizza and sandwiches. But when you sum it all up, that's really all there is. A person can only eat so much pizza before they begin to desire something more. Yet we all stand in line, like a bunch of Russians in a communist bread line. What else can we do? Rick Moore, Director of Communications at CSUSM, had this to say about the subject: "I know nothing about it, except that I've heard the matter was investigated and the major companies that looked into it found that there are not enough students here yet to support their minimum sales requirement." After trying all ten items that are on the menu throughout the past two semesters, I feel compelled to ask, "Where is the nearest Taco Bell?" There are other colleges in the San Diego area It looks like new and improved food is a diminutive priority thus far. Enrolling new students necessitates more parking spaces. When this is running smoothly we may finally have enough students, which would then allow us the ability to get more familiar food stands. However, this probably won't happen for quite some time, so hey! Have some pizza! sit next to each other on benches, or stand next to each other in elevators. What will you do?

Catching the Wave of Success By CHRIS MARTIN Pride Staff Writer Last Saturday at 8:00 a.m. at North Ponto in the north end of Carlsbad campgrounds, CSUSM held its annual Surf Team tryouts. Recognized by the National Scholastic Surfing Association (NSSA), the surf team at CSUSM placed fourth overall last season. Under the rules of the NSSA, six shortboard men and one shortboard woman constitute a team. Making the final cuts will be difficult, due to the select nature of the team and the large pool of talent available at CSUSM. add some depth. "Last season, the team had great participation and team spirit, but generally only one or two surfers got through multiple rounds. To be a contender, they need to get more like four surfers into the quarterfinals. And the talent is here on campus," said volunteer coach Amber Puha. member, is a former US Body Boarding Champion and current runner-up college national champion.

She was a member of the NSSA National Team from 1985-1987. At USCD, where she majored in mathematics, she was part of their National Championship team and won an individual National Championship. In 1998, she graduated from UCLA with a PhD in mathematics, but before leaving she had accumulated two more NSSA individual national championships. Puha then came to CSUSM in the fall of 1999. Puha has stated, "I am thrilled to have been able to help in facilitating the development of a surf team here on campus." But she also gives credit to ASI and her team, "because without them this wouldn't be possible. With such an exemplary record, along with some very talented surfers, it's quite possible for the Cougars to rank even higher than last year." The surf team and other CSUSM teams like it are studentrun and managed by ASI ( Associated Students Inc.). Therefore, like any other ASI club sport, the team has three player representatives, which include Dave Kincannon, George Demarino, and Dustin Franks. The representatives have worked with ASI to officially register the team, organize the tryouts, and help raise funds. CSUSM is a part of the NSSA Southwest Conference and will begin competition on October 27th in Ventura, California. Lady Cougars Golf Begin an Impressive Fall Season By JESSICA A.

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 Robert Williams in Parking Services gave me the break down on the parking spaces.

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 proceso de 5 años en el cual la futura facultad jubilada empieza a adaptarse poco a poco a lo que será su nuevo estilo de vida. Este 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. "El departamento debe irse a la dirección de la gente nueva, que llegó en los 90s, que tienen nuevas ideas porque ya hay muchas cosas que se enseñan en las universidades que no se enseñaban antes," dijo Clark. Entre uno de estps cambios mencionados por Clark está la tecnología y la alta popularidad y uso de la Internet en aulas escolares al igual que los usos profesionales del español.

A ella le gusta vivir en la ciudad en la que trabaja para poder conocer mejor a la comunidad. Por tal razón, dice disfrutar de eventos como la Guelaguetza al igual que mirar personas jugando fútbol en las canchas universitarias en los fines de semana debido al gran número que viene a la universidad. 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 son Latinas, porque son mujeres o porque vienen de una sociedad que no admite este tipo pero que 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 que me pagan por algo que yo haría gratis. Los estudiantes son magníficos," comentó Clark. Clark empezó su carrera en 1964 como estudiante graduada y por primera vez enseñó clases tiempo completo en 1970. Ella obtuvo su licenciatura en la Universidad de Mississippi y su maestría eñ la Universidad de Kansas al igual que su doctorado. Fue en la Universidad <je Kansas, que conoció a su esposo de procedencia cubana con el cual tiene 35 años de casada. También fue ahí donde accidentalmente fue colocada en el programa de español en lugar de francés lo cual era su objetivo. De acuerdo con ella, así fue como encontró su verdadera vocación.

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 McDuffie also mentioned that office or Craven 6211. in addition to terminating some sections, other modifications have also been made.

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 By DESMOND BARCA Pri(Je besign Editor norms and Islamic social ethics are not mutually exclusive.... The Islamists'choice need not be H reduced to negation or toleration H of secularism. Rather Islamists must create an equilibrium * bet\yeen continuity and change, ( j cultural stability and universal 3 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 voice to Arab sentiment from when he was living in northern Africa, Dr. Moukhlis said, "I love Dr. Salah Moukhlis, Professor of Literature and Writing Studies, speaks to mostly empty seats. what you love, too.

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 forfrial dining hall grew silent in anticipation. followed by the current Mayor 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.

With the audience asking more specific questions to their needs, each candidate talked for an additional three to five minutes in an attempt to answer their queries, While most in attendance were satisfied with the question and answer period, others were not. Clearly discontent grew among some members in attendance as certain candidates deployed obvious question-dodging maneuvers in an attempt to walk around questions at all costs. Sensitive or controversial subjects, such as the homeless population, homeless shelters downtown, and the building of new youth develDON'T TRY THIS AT HOME KIDDIES, I Upon meeting with random community businessmen and women after the event, it appeared that more thorough speeches, and addressing more specific issues and possible outcomes, might have been appreciated, while others were satisfied with what they were presented.

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 X anse» SSSSf**^SSSi»S ** • ' illHIS IHifB tini C I Photo Montage By DESMOND BARCA Sii. l I» i * I . aijg^ f ttflil 3:.i « t i 3 mil ;H «ï\ 3*i i *J 3 %t * » ; ' ** % t �The construction continues at ground zero of the World Trade Center attack. 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. Exhaustedfirefightersand rescue 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. Some looked on in shock, others buried their heads in their hands and sobbed, while still others looked visibly angry. What was M B f l llllïSSiîiIg ft* ** ** ; *«, 1*1 Ij i I* * I' I 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 ^rn^mmmmmmthis. 1: * SS*ftJ tlfflplt S*r so horrifying was that when you looked at a picture of a missing loved one, you could almost see them in daily life and you knew it easily could have been you. *»**•*! »••«• ****** ***** ***** T**»** ***** :V " t i l " . + ***** Imagine all of Qualcom stadium and the parking lot gone, just...gone.

Walking down the exit ramp people had scrawled messages on the plywood offering hope and unity with New York. There were thousands of them, yet the platform had not been open even twenty-four hours.. .amazing.

"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.

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. \v Ü ÄI Lead Editor Lead Editor Design Editor Ifews EdStw OpiiiiQO Editor Spanish Editor Feature Editor * Arts Editor Sports a litor Graduate Intern Copy Editor Msiness Manager Advisor ...I would like to challenge him.

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.

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. school, they'll be able to park because it's not going to happen while we are here.

However, he never went to either of these places. He used his ATM card in gasoline stations in Escondido and Carlton probably before going to the mountains, and the Carlsbad police suspect that he was traveling alone.

According to Knoblock, other options include expanding stack parking and exploring the possibility of converting to diag­ onal lots. Knoblock stressed that the zoned system was only one of many options, and said that the zoning proposal was presented, as opposed to any other, because it “was the only one drafted from beginning to end.” Parking Ser­ vices will bring in a consultant to analyze the practicality and financial considerations involved in expanding and/or restructur­ ing parking. When asked if the proposal favored higher-income students and families, Knoblock said, “We had fair and equitable goals [when looking at parking options] and we felt that by having dif­ ferent prices available, students would be able to make their own selection.

P ride Photo/James Newell By: JAMES NEWELL Pride Editor Student Health Services and the Peer Education and Support (PEAS) organization set up a table in Founders Plaza on Wednesday and Thursday to pro­ mote sexual awareness as part of nation-wide Sexual Respon­ sibility Week, which ended on National Condom Day, or as most know it, Valentine’s Day. * “We’re not trying to promote sexual activity, but if people-are having sex, we want them to be responsible and safe,” said Cathy Nguyen, health educator at Stu­ dent Health Services. “And we want them to know abstinence is also a healthy choice.” Nguyen paired up with Janeth Orellana, a freshman peer edu­ cator with Student Health Ser­ vices, to provide student-friendly sexual health information and to address the connections between alcohol abuse and unhealthy choices. The table was filled with pamphlets on STD prevention, Student Health Services infor­ mation and condoms. The con­ doms were wrapped with artwork reflecting the winning submis­ sions from an annual contest sponsored by the California Family Health Council. “Let’s get stocked up,” said sophomore Brandon Koolhaas, as he took advantage of the free condoms in preparation for his Valentine festivities. Nguyen and Orellana also had a “spin to win” game for students to play. After spinning the wheel, students were asked a question, like, ‘What is abstinence?’ ‘What is the best method to prevent an STD?’ ‘Is withdrawal a good birthcontrol method?’ If participants answered correctly, they were offered their choice of either “How do I love thee?” poetry magnets or the quite popular condom rose, which came with STD hotline numbers and a reminder to practice safe sex. “Condom roses are a great idea, especially for Valentine’s Day,” said freshman Janene Davis as she strolled through Founder’s Plaza with friend Vanessa Hayes, roses in hand. Organizers of the two-day event gave away eight dozen long-stemmed condom roses, and more than 300 regular condoms. When asked for his thoughts on the event, student Jon Eckrich said, “You know, I love it. I’ve never used a condom, but I’m going to now.” Student Health Services pro­ vides women’s health exams, STD screening, birth-control options counseling and prescrip­ tions, emergency contraceptive pills (the “morning after pill”), pregnancy testing, HIV testing, and other services, which are paid for with student health fees. » > A rtic le cont. on pg. 2 ASI Hosts Breakfast in Celebration of Black History Month By LISA LIPSEY Pride Feature Editor After a moment of silence in memory of Henry Rodriguez, a Luiseno tribal elder who died in a car accident Thursday morning, student Crystal Rodriguez asked the listeners to join her in singing the Black National Anthem, “Lift Every Voice and Sing” by James Weldon Johnson, to open Friday’s Black History Month Breakfast. Acting master of ceremonies and Dean of Students Jonathan Poullard then welcomed everyone to this year’s event, which fea­ tured keynote speaker Dr. Sharon Whitehearst-Payne, an adminis­ trator in the San Diego Unified > ^ f School District with 30 years teaching experience. “I love San Diego County because of its diversity, its rain­ bow of people,” said Whitehearst-Payne. A graduate of Duke I University, Whitehearst-Payne / focused her speech on three areas: diversity, giving back to the com­ munity and her faith in Jesus Christ. She grew up in an exclu­ sively African-American com­ munity and attended grades K-12 at an all African-American school. “What can you outpour into some else’s life? When you die, what will they say about you?” Pride Photo/Lisa Lipsey asked Whitehearst-Payne. “I am one of four girls, and our goal was to deny the myth that black women have babies out of wed\lock and go on welfare. All four of us have.a minimum of a mas­ ter’s degree.” Both President Alexander Gonzalez and Associated Students, Inc.

According to that article, stu­ dents would have the opportu­ nity to purchase parking for $14 a month under the “Zoned Park­ ing System.” Knoblock said the information was incorrect; stu­ dents would not, if the proposal at any time becomes official, be able to purchase a parking pass for Zone 3, which would have comprised lots B, N and O. The proposed $14 a month parking area would be for faculty and staff only. If and when any other parking proposals, or options, are negotiated, Parking Services must submit a proposal to the SFAC at least a week and a half prior to any presentation of P rom oting Black History Month B reakfast such a proposal, according to Knoblock. “We really encourage people to come to Parking Ser­ vices, in person, if they have a problem,” said Knoblock. “We take our suggestion forms very seriously and respond to each individually.” Knoblock also encouraged students to find out what other areas Parking Services is involved in. “We handle the free shuttle and stack parking, and we lease 160 spaces at San Marcos Ambulatory Care to handle over­ flow parking.

He was also one of the last of his people who could still speak the Luiseiio language, spoken by the original inhabitants of the Pauma Valley and Palomar Mountain area. “Uncle Henry” also over­ saw the La Jolla Reservation. According to teachers from the La Jolla’s Fox Outdoor School, Rodriguez taught students that “The Luiseiio people who lived here did not have a word for ‘good-bye’ — for to say ‘good-bye’ meant forever. “Uncle Henry,” a father of five and a grandfather of “too many to count,” became the first Native American to be honored by the Cal State San Marcos campus. The CSU system, and CSUSM, pre­ sented Rodriguez with an hon­ orary Doctor of Humane Letters degree in June of 2001. Rodriguez was a commu­ nity consultant at CSUSM since the university’s inception. He helped organize the university’s annual Pow Wow, blessed the commencement ceremonies, and participated in Indian graduation ceremonies as well as the univer­ sity’s time-capsule celebration. Rodriguez served as an important elder, helping to preserve indigenous California culture. In reel-to-reel tapes beginning in the 1940s, Rodri­ guez captured traditional Luiseiio songs that Grossmont College is preserving. He has served as chairman of the La Jolla “Uncle Henry ” F all 2001 P ride Photo Band of Mission Indians and was instrumental in establishing the Southern California Inter­ tribal Council, now the California Tribal Chairmen’s Association. Since the 1940s, Rodriguez had been a major contributor to California Indian politics and is a national authority on Indian water rights. One of the found­ ers of the San Luis Rey Water Authority, he served as president and served on the board of direc­ tors. He continued to work with California and United States fed­ eral authorities on environmen­ tal protection, repatriation, and health legislation, and was instru­ mental in bringing Indian health­ care to California reservations. Rodriguez was also an active pro­ ponent of Native A m erican-Indian education. He helped bring the “Head Start” pro­ gram to a number of reservations, and served as a board member and con­ sultant in a number of school districts, developing curric­ ulum with more accurate represen­ tations of local Indian people.

The message focused on keeping your goals on the posi­ tive side of life. How much would you pay to change the course of your life? Do you think that it’s possible for a mere 25 cents? According to Martin, all it took was 25 cents and a few miracles along the way. Martin became famous about two years ago when his life was spotlighted as a part of the Hollywood movie “The Hurri­ cane.” The movie tells of Martin’s involvement in helping to free Rubin “The Hurricane” Carter from wrongful imprisonment. During the speech, Martin identified himself as his greatest obstacle to success, and once he was able to let go of fear he was able to let miracles enter his life.

And, in almost every musical number, the cast was thrashing and flailing to syn­ chronize their dance steps. Very well done Plaids, I loved it! Directed by Scott Dreier, a former Plaid when the show ran at the Theatre in Old Town, “Forever Plaid” tells; the story of four high school geeks who met in the Audio Visual Club and started a boy band: The Plaids. In 1964, they were on their way to their first major gig when they were killed in a car accident. Now, 38 years later, they have been given the chance to return to earth and perform the show they never made it to in life. Admittedly, they’re a little rusty, a little ner­ vous and have forgotten most of their moves. Still, throughout the show, it’s clear that they never forgot the thrill of performing or their lyrics. The rich voices of Frankie, - Sparky, Jinx and Smhdge combine in amazing harmony. The repertoire of favorites, arranged by James Raitt, come from their era and include: “Lady of Spain,” “Heart and Soul,” “Day-O,” “Moments to Remember,” “She Loves You,” and “Love is a Many Splendored Thing.” Through what Martin calls King Live, Oprah, and to the his second miracle, he read “The United Nations.

Once a practicing lawyer, courage to attempt the ridiculous Martin has appeared on Larry can achieve the impossible.” I took a group of high school students to the see the show, and they all thought it was “pretty cool.” The audience was diverse, from the elementary age to (if I had to guess) ninety, and the show kept us all laughing. But you have to take responsibility; if you want to spend the evening laughing, pay close attention to what the actors are doing, even when they are not in the spot­ light. As the playbill says, this show “.. .is dedicated to the guys who saved their allowance to give their par­ ents a special night on the town for their anniversary,;, .and to the guys who never went beyond first base, and if they did, they didn’t tell anyone. We salute you.” It sounds like “Revenge of the Nerds: The Musical,’’ but really, these guys are returning to earth with the attitudes of a sincere and seemingly simple era. The show was written and choreographed by Stuart Ross and has a similar format to his other four-man show, “Triple Espresso,” which has been play­ ing in San Diego’s Gas Lamp District for several years. Over­ all, “Forever Plaid” does not measure up to the modern day and absurd hilarity of “Triple Espresso,” but it does provide two hours of wholesome humor.

The 3 “slackers” are con­ fronted with complications when Dave makes the mistake of taking Ethan’s (Jason Schwartz- REVIEW REVIEW Photo Courtesy o f www.imdb.com multiplex and purchase a ticket to see the movie “Slackers.” This fragmented comedy introduces the audience to three college students, Dave (Devon Sawa), Sam (Jason Segel), and Jeff (Michael C. Maronna) who have cheated their way through of this evidence and uses it to blackmail Dave and his friends to either hook him up with Angela, the girl of his dreams, or get kicked out of school. In compliance with Ethan’s terms, the boys do what­ ever it takes to find out what interests Angela. However, despite all the information gathered, socially awkward Ethan doesn’t have a chance, especially since Dave and Angela begin falling in love. Social conflicts then arise, which leave Dave alone, as trust issues between the three­ some temporarily break them up, and Angela leaves him after being convinced that he is a liar. The film closes with Ethan’s blackmail scheme backfiring on him, and Dave finds the courage, with the help of his friends to come clean and tell - Angela the truth and how much he loves her. A .typical closure you would expect from a teen comedy. What is hilarious about “Slackers” are the erotic scenes involving Ethan and 2 girls at once, Ethan’s hair doll and Ethan’s romantic late night ser­ enade to Angela. The one evident problem in the movie is that the plot is very disjointed. Although at times the gags were funny, they were out of place and made the story drag on.

But what we didn’t know is that after taking a three-year break from the spot­ light, she is back from a period of growth and self-evolution, ready to release her new 17-track CD titled “Full Moon.” “In the past three years, I’ve focused on getting to know who I am inside. I took a break to reflect on myself as a person and I’ve grown a lot. There was a side of me that I’ve known and people close to me have known, which was different from the public image of who I was,” said Brandy. “Full Moon” is Brandy’s third Photo Courtesy o f www.foreverbrandy.com Book JOSEPH SANCHEZ For the Pride This is a belated review of a book that hopefully many of you are already familiar with. But after finally getting my hands on a copy, I feel compelled to say all I can about the impor­ tance of reading this book. I first heard about the book on National Public Radio (NPR) last year and was shocked by the tales of abuse and negligence that author Eric Schlosser says he discovered in the fast-food industry. Most of us can probably remember the E coli outbreak associated with tainted meat sold at a Jack in the Box in Seattle a Fast Review few years back. What we don’t know is that all the meat products for all fast-food restaurants (with a few notable exceptions) come from the same few unsanitary meat-processing plants. After the Jack in the Box incident, 35 million pounds of ground beef were recalled, most of which had already been consumed. This is only one of numer­ ous instances of the worst kind of industry neglect that Schlosser details. Even more shocking is the claim he makes on page 218 that “for years some of the most questionable ground beef in the United States was purchased by the USDA—and then distributed to school cafeterias throughout the country.” For those of you who recognize the eerie similar­ ity between such incidents and others, which occurred in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, involving rotten meat given to Native Americans - I remind you that this was hap­ pening in the 80s and 90s and now continues, into the twentyfirst century. In 1999, the USDA continued to purchase meat from a plant that allowed as much as 47 per­ cent of its beef to contain Salmonella. The company that owned this plant is one of the largest suppliers of public school’s meal programs in the nation. The situation gets even worse Beauty Behind Bars By SYBILLE HERWIG Pride Staff Writer The romantic fairy tale image of 1001 Arabian nights has long been stripped of its innocence, and recent events have evoked many provocative questions about Middle-Eastern countries. Cul­ tural differences are clashing, and sadly, fear might affect many of us when we think about the Arabian world. And yet, there is a rich and spiritual culture hidden behind the violent and sad images that are brought into our homes by the media. A culture, which opposes many* Western ideas of freedom, has triggered a sense of fascination and curiosity: What Pride Photo/Sybille Herwig is it like living in a country that faces unbearable poverty? What is it like living under a system that denies women their freedom and dignity? I tried to answer these questions for myself by taking a trip to Yemen in 1998. The people of Yemen strictly follow the Islam faith; thus, it can be strange for a first- time visitor to see women covered from top to toe, barely showing their eyes. But traveling means getting to know and understand different cultures, so approaching this trip with an open mind helped rfte to deal with the sometimes-shock­ ing pictures of starving children and oppressed women, and, at the same time, enjoy the beauty Yemen has to offer. My adventure started with a rough plane trip from A1 Hudaydah to Sana’a, which is one of Yemen’s main tourist attractions. Sana’a is located in the midwest region of the country and has been recognized as the mecca of the Arab nation’s cultural heri­ tage. According to Yemenis, the city is one of the "first sites of human settlement, founded by Noah’s son, Shem. But what makes Sana’a really special is the amazing architecture of the approximately 400-year-old houses, as well as the largest preserved medina in the Arab world. Another must-see stop is the central market, Souq-al-Milh, which has a local atmosphere and provides vivid insight into the social life of the Yemenis. The crowded, narrow streets make it hard to stay oriented, but experiencing the market’s hustle and bustle makes getting lost an exciting mistake. The air is filled with the aroma of odd spices, raisins and vegetables, and the voices of loud salesmen selling their goods. Some of the most popular products available are daggers. But no worries! They do not serve.as weapons, but rather as fashion statements. Daggers are part of the traditional attire, and Yemeni men carry them as casually as American men wear tjes. The more splendid the show­ piece, the more ceremonious the occasion. While I was wandering through the streets of Sana’a, I noticed a recurrent trend: the swollen cheeks of the men, appar­ ently caused by their constant chewing and spitting. Fortu­ nately, these cheeks were not the result of a universal toothache; they were filled with leaves of the^ Quat plant. Quat is a mild, nonaddictive stimulant, which makes one lively and chatty, although after a while one might become TRAVEL _ album for Atlantic records. The album, scheduled for release on March 5, includes work from pro­ ducers Warren Campbell, Keith Crouch, Mike City, and Rodney Jerkins, who together contributed to extending Brandy’s musical talent to the next level. The chemistry between these producers flourishes throughout “Full Moon,’- giving us a taste of classic quiet storm, pulsating, melodic hip-hop beats, and R&B smoothness. The album draws from a more edgy side of Brandy in songs like “When You Touch Me,” “Come A Little Closer,” and Brandy’s current single, “What About Us?” While it touches on everyday issues and emotions, her music shows how she has grown both mentally and spiritu­ ally. *. Food Nation as Schlosser examines the work­ ing conditions in the meat- pro­ cessing plants. In tones and' images that echo Upton Sinclair’s 1906 novel The Jungle, Schlosser takes us right into the nauseating world that provides us with our convenient 99- cent hamburgers. In his examination of the industry, Schlosser points to meatpacking as the most danger­ ous job in the U.S. The book truly exposes the horrifying toll of destroyed lives and families due to one simple fact: greed. The majority of workers are unskilled immigrants who don’t speak Eng­ lish and are easily intimidated by workman’s compensation forms and insurance applications, which SS§ v-'\ “Before, I didn’t know who I was\ or what I liked to do or understand the love that I really had for music. I think on this album, you cart tell through the vocals and creativity that it’s just different. It’s because I’m more into me now so I can bring me into the music,” said Brandy. “It represents who I am and what I am and where I am.” As a result, this album has carried Brandy through her chal­ lenging period of growth and into a new state of being, giving us great music. “I’ve come full circle, made a 360 degree change in my life, and rediscovered my love for music and hey, crazy things happen during a FULL MOON,” said Brandy. *Quotes Courtesy of Atlan­ tic Records suits the corporate heads just fine. The irony is that the dollar is the bottom line for more than just the stereotyped, greedy corpo­ rate executive - there is also the “Fast Food Nation,” which wants its one-dollar hamburger. But, as Schlosser points out in his study, even In-N-Out’s high wages and fresh food don’t nec­ essarily equate with an expensive or a slower product. The beauty of this book is that it is so rel­ evant to everyone. It is a fasci­ nating and thoroughly enjoyable read. m V ' *> §!

P ride Photo/Sybille Herwig mellow and contemplative (at least these were my observations of my local Quat-chewing tour guide.) Unlike in other Arabic coun­ tries, Quat is legal in Yemen, and it plays a big* role in the Yemenis’ social life. Of course, only men are allowed to engage in this pleasure, and they most likely do that while either drink­ ing tea together or walking hand in hand through town. Yes, I know what you think! But in Yemen, holding hands is an expression of friendship. The fact that any spark of affection between men and women is for­ bidden in public might explain this custom. But there are times for coed celebrations, which I recognized while attending a wedding reception on my way cross-country, from Sana’a to Aden. Under the hot Arabian sun, a young couple celebrated their new bond on a ledge, overlooking a gorgeous valley. The joy of this occasion was expressed not only by music and dance, but also by ‘friendly’ machine-gun fire. Fur­ thermore, falcons demonstrated their amazing arial abilities for their proud owners and guests. It was an unforgettable experi­ ence to be part of this tradition, especially when I was asked to provide my arm as a take-off and landing spot for these great birds. Visiting Yemen is like travel­ ing back in time. The sights and landscape reminded me of Bibli­ cal stories and inspired a sense of nostalgia. But these dreamy feelings are extinguished very quickly, as soon as the poverty of this country becomes appar­ ent.

Last Monday night in the final exer­ cises of the pairs figure skating competition, the Russian team of Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze was awarded the gold medal, despite the outcries of experts across the world who were certain that the Canadian team of Jamie Sale and David Pel­ letier should have taken the gold. An investigation of the judges began almost immediately, and after a week of investigation and the suspension of the* French judge, a second gold medal was awarded at a press conference on Friday. This is the fourth time that the IOC has awarded a second gold medal. In 1993, the IOC awarded a second gold medal from the Barcelona Games in synchronized swimming. The executive board agreed that Canada’s Sylvie Frechette was placed second because of a judg­ ing error that occurred when a Brazilian judge was not allowed to change a score that she mistyped, into her computer. However, the second gold medal is not a provision in the Inter­ national Skating Union (ISU) rules. In a press conference Friday, ISU president Ottavio Cinquanta insisted that the extraordinary situation con­ cerning the scandal called for a change of regulations in order to accommodate the circum­ stances. "We are happy that justice was done ... this was not some­ thing against [Berezhnaya and Sikharulidze], it was something against the system,” said Pel­ letier. He also took a moment to intentionally divert the spot­ light to other Canadian athletes who had won medals in the last couple of days while everyone was paying attention to him and Canadians Received Gold Medals Photo Courtesy o f http://www.msnbc.com/news/705743.asp Sale. “This is not what the Olympics are supposed to be about,” said Jamie Sale, politely reminding reporters why the two athletes are in Salt Lake City. In both singles and pairs figure skating, skaters are judged on more technical elements jumps, spins, spirals, and land­ ings - while ice dancing is judged more subtly, on rhythm, fotftwork, and style. The controversy this year may have begun in the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan. Four years ago, the ISU suspended the Canadian and Ukrainian judges when the Canadian ice dancing team claimed that the Russians and the French conspired to keep them from winning a medal. It has been known for several years in the figure skating community that many of the judges have their decisions made long before the actual competi­ tion. The IOC has tried to prevent corruption in the past by choosing judges for the events only a few hours before* competition, instead of a few months before. In Salt Lake City, however, facilities were not available for a large pool of judges, and therefore the judges had to be chosen several months ago. Olympic judging has been under intense scrutiny for years, involving figure skating and ice dancing, as well as syn­ chronized swimming and rhyth­ mic gymnastics in the Summer Olympics. The IOC has been working oil developing more technical measures of judging, and even discussed eliminating the more artistic sports from the Olympics altogether. Few deci­ sions have been made.

Pride Staff Writer Restaurant Row for C ommuters By JAMES SIMMONDS Pride Staff Writer It’s almost the middle of the third week of school and for some of you it must really suck having to commute from southern San Diego and Orange County. Especially if ypu have one of those scattered schedules/ You might be able to identify with the fol­ lowing scenario: arriving at school on Monday morning at 8 a m , only to have to wait around for your next class, which begins at 1 p.m., and finally, your last class, which begins at 6 p.pi. You already drive an hour or more every morning in traffic. It’s not worth driving home only to come back a couple of hours later. May I suggest some other choices. Instead of sitting around campus, wasting time, take off for a few hours. Attending CSUSM puts you right in the middle of fun and entertainment. Jump on the 78 west and exit at San Marcos Boulevard. Turn left onto San Marcos Boulevard, drive just a couple miles, and to your right you’ll find “Restaurant Row.” It’s a couple of blocks encompassing a variety of tasteful restaurants. You can enjoy some Mexican food at Acapulco’s, or seafood at Fish House Vera Cruz, and Rockin’ Baja Lobster. Maybe you feel like a little Italian food, so go to Bru­ no’s. Or you could be in the mood for nice, juicy ribs at Tony Roma’s. And if all you want is a burger and fries, then walk into Burger’s & Brew, tell Drew I said hi and please~say hello to the beautiful bartender for me. If you are stressed and want some relief have a beer or glass of wine. Just don’t get drunk; remember you have to come back. If you are not hungry and not in the mood for spirits, go next door and watch a movie at the beautiful Edwards Cinema. Watch the latest new flicks, like “Count of Monte Gristo” or, for you romantics, “A Walk to Remember.” For those of you who are adven­ turous, head east to Escondido. Here, you can go to Dixon Lake to fish, rent a boat or mountain bike, and there are plenty of other activities. Or, go play paintball at Mr. Paintball’s. And if you head west, keep going until you hit the beach. Just take the 78 west, which turns into West Vista Way. Walk on the beach, or suit up and get wet. For your shopping convenience, there are two malls close by, Plaza El Camino Real in Carlsbad, off the 78, and North County Fair in Escondido, off the 15. Hopefully, some of these ideas will help you with your long days this semester. Fun is at your reach within a small radius. If this does not help, then you can always go to the library and study. �T he Pride ^ C l lc r!^ The Parking Proposal I am a mature adult student and have been a full-time student for four out of five semesters. When are the students of this University going to “WAKE-UP?” The entire proposal is, as most other decisions, an AMBUSH! The Parking Proposal [hereafter: Proposal] was created over the break and when the majority of frill-time students are enjoying a holiday break. This proposal is not only outrageous; it is an insight in to how students are treated with disrespect and disconcern. The administration’s attitude appears to be at first blush, “they will be gone by the time it becomes an issue to deal with ... ”The Proposal, simply put, shows how the bi-furcation of Campus Police supervised parking vs. the “Parking (dis) Services” has been in control of the wrong person/s, who now display the fact that they cannot manage the money that is collected. There are numerous examples: [1J current signs that are displayed in Handicap parking are not the proper signs, which violates the California Vehicle Code and Federal Law, [2] there are not enough Handicapped parking spaces in the correct lots, which is old news and again ignored and unchanged by the “Parking powers,” [3] the Parking Enforcement persons were either led to believe, or took it upon themselves to assume, that they had the powers of a Police Officer and proceeded to violate students rights of privacy and make demands under the color of law. Only after being confronted with the errors and the fact that the “Red Shirts,” or Parking Enforcement persons* are not even qualified as limited peace officers [California Penal Code 830 et. siq.] has this legal action subsided. Director D. Knoblock has been privy to these and other major problems for over three semesters, yet they remain either ignored or unchanged. There are other numerous incidents that I have been privy to, and I am only one student, on campus a few days a week. There are almost 6,500 students currently enrolled. How many other stories are out there of misconduct and misuse of student parking funds, all for the pleasure of one or two persons? Using the approximate 6,500 students and their parking fees of $62, that amounts to over $400,000 per semester, and of course not everyone buys a parking sticker. Where does that money go, Director D. Knoblock? The proposal is poorly thought out. The hiring of a Parking Services Engineer, or whatever his title, was a step toward the right direction; unfortunately the result was not student-oriented. In fact the rumor is that, as part of the new plan the “shuttie service” will be discontinued, This was the only thing visible that the Parking fees provided, I have had to walk from the lot closest to Escondido, the far east lot. Without the shuttleservice, students would ftave to walk close to one mile to class, I have heard other students say that other schools and universities have poorer parking conditions than are proposed, Wejl, I did not go to that other school because of that consideration and others, including the drive to San Diego at 6:30 a.m. According to The Pride article, which was the first time any of the regular students heard of the Proposal, “the university will be in the red” in two years. I personally believe that an audit of the Parking Services is in order, before the increase of student parking fees is forced down the throat of the current students, The limitation of student votes to four, with most of the student government taking those voting seats, is wrong. Even the lack of opinions in this matter shows the conscious disregard for the input of students, which is the norm that I’ve seen since I attended. CSUSM has now taken the position that students are “customers.” Well I am one very unhappy “customer,” and I know that I am not alone. Ambushing the general student population and limiting the voting seem typical of the administration. Progress is not the answer; it is the problem, when it goes on without balance! This proposal seems to be Pyrrhic victory, R. Bell C o n d o le n c e s T o A ll W ho G rieve U n cle H e n r y To Whom It May Concern: I want to send my condolences to those in the CSUSM commu­ nity that are grieving for their loss of “Uncle” Henry Rodriguez. I only spoke with him a few times over the phone and in person, but he touched my heart. I am deeply saddened by the loss of such a great person. I can’t imagine how those who knew him well must feel. My heart goes out to all of you, but especially to those who never got the chance to meet him. Melanie Addington Graduate Student Tuesday, February 19,2002 7 Literature and Writing Department As a former student of Liter­ ature and Writing at CSUSM, I feel the need to write about what I think is an injustice to future Literature and Writing students. We all know about the lack of evening classes offered in the Literature and Writing major as well as the infrequency of core requirement classes being offered, but this is worse. This is about poor teaching of those core classes. Last spring, I had the misfor­ tune of having a certain Profes­ sor X teach a core requirement course. The class was poorly organized with too much mate­ rial to be grasped in 16 weeks (much of it theory), with a pro­ fessor with little knowledge of the subject being taught. Profes­ sor X intimidated students when we asked questions, papers and exams were graded with little indication of how the professor arrived at the final grade, and worse, we were constantly being put into groups to basically teach ourselves the material. Although I have had other professors (good professors) use this latter tech­ nique, we always had input and guidance from our instructor when we presented our “knowl­ edge” to the rest of the class. This was not the case with Professor X. I tried to speak with Pro­ fessor X about my unhappiness with the class, but she was unre­ sponsive and said “don’t worry, you are doing fine.” Evidently, S tu d e n ts A s C u sto m e r s It has been rumored that there has been a shift in the manner in which faculty should view their students: students are to be regarded perhaps as cus­ tomers and we, as faculty, must be more conscious of the realm of customer satisfaction. The pro­ posed change in parking— the faculty lot being available to whosoever can pay the most while we, in no position of influ­ ence, search for spaces in the far reaches of the campus so that our customers can be happy— brings the above rumor closer to real­ ity. I am so very grateful for that clarification as to my— fellow and faculty’s— position on campus. Susan Fellows LTWR I wasn’t (I got my only “C” in my CSUSM career), and neither was Professor X. We students heard that the chairperson of our department spoke to Professor X about the many complaints, but nothing changed. My classmates and I agreed that the workload, the lack of pedagogy, and the anxiety asso­ ciated with the class, made us never want to have Professor X again. Unfortunately, I got stuck with Professor X again. This fall (my last at CSUSM), I was thrilled that all of the final courses that I would need to graduate were being taught in the evening and Professor X was not teaching any of them. Of course, that was not to be. At the last minute, Professor X subbed in to teach a core require­ ment course that I was taking. My friends, who had also had Professor X, urged me to drop the course, take it in the spring with someone else, and just grad­ uate one semester later. I debated for a long time about this course, but I was determined to finish school this fall, and I gave Professor X the benefit of the doubt. It was the wrong decision. The workload was enormous (20 books to read in 16 weeks, 2 tenpage papers, 10 two-page papers, and both a two-day midterm and two-day final exam), the professor was obviously lacking the qualifications to teach this course, students were again intimidated and grades were derived from some ethereal reasoning that none of the stu­ dents understood (we were told AFTER the midterm exam what the professor MEANT by a ques­ tion worth 50% of the points, when what she asked on the exam was vastly different). I could continue with many examples of the injustices, intim­ idation, and lack of pedagogy that was the norm in Professor X’s classroom, but you must understand my point by now. I was torn about what to do about this professor: say, “Who cares, at least I am finished with school,” and “What about the students yet to come through this program?” CSUSM is a good school with great literature and writing professors who have a lot to offer their students. I feel cheated out of the two classes taught by Professor X. I was overwhelmed, discouraged, and I learned very little on subjects that are important to my major and ultimately to my pursuits in graduate school. Why is Profes­ sor X still teaching these upper -division courses? It is a shame that future students may have to endure what so many of us already have when Professor X’s evaluations were surely not posi­ tive ones. What recourse does a student have in this situation? Katja Tonsky T he Parking Proposal To the Editors: Parking Services would like to add to The Pride article (New Parking Proposal Will Increase Fees) printed on Feb. 12, 2002. The proposal addressed in the article is only ONE of many options that we are exploring to match the projected increase in faculty, staff, and students. Some of the other options we are looking at range from increas­ ing the number of carpool spaces, providing a bus pass subsidy program for our NCTD (North County Transit District) ridership, to purchasing addi­ tional bike racks and bike lock­ ers. We are also looking at diagonal parking vs. traditional straight-in parking spaces. We encourage our campus commu­ nity to send us any suggestions, comments, and recommen­ dations to www.csusm.edu/ parking or drop in at FCB 107 and give us your input. Thank you and we continue to look forward to working with our campus community. Dora R. Knoblock, Director o f Campus Enterprises. 760-750-7500 Bush, Light, and The World Bush is spending the multi­ lateralism of the past like a kid with a nickel in a candy store. Hiroshima cast a pall over the nation, consisting of the horror over dropping the bomb. The nation felt a tremendous guilt over ending the war with the bomb and trepidation over what it portended for the future. Pro­ paganda and false bravado were necessary to sooth our nation’s collective guilt. Today a similar Unease over an impending doom has been brought upon us on the coattails of our president. Must we uni­ laterally abort multilateral rela­ tions for short-term gains? What about the long-term costs of such a foreign policy? Winston Churchill once said, “The United States represents man’s ascent to the “Sunlit Uplands” of history, and we cannot be stopped anymore than the sun can. The sun may go behind the clouds for an hour or a day or a week, or even a month, but we are the sun, the light of mankind, and we will not be dimmed for long.” Does our president, who is known to admire Churchill greatly, think that means he needs to use the light of the bomb to light the world? Does he feel it’s his ‘manifest destiny’? John P. Doddridge �TUesday February 19th in the March 5th Guber­ natorial Primary Election.

The proposal, which is sched­ ASI President Dustin Naylor uled for a vote on February 18, said the committee voting on the will, if approved, increase the Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) shifted powers again on Friday, Feb. 1 when Dean Man­ ship resigned from his position as student president and Execu­ tive Vice President Dustin Naylor took over duties as President of ASI. “It was hard cleaning out my office ... I was fighting with it. I really wanted to stay but I need to work and pay bills,” said Manship. This is not the first major change in the ASI staff this year. First, Darlene Willis, Execu­ tive Director, left before the Fall 2001 semester. Susana Gonzalez stepped in as interim director until Keith Speers took over three months ago. Then, Vice President Vinnie Williams resigned after his first few weeks in office due to per­ sonal reasons during the fall semester. The board replaced Wil­ liams with Undergraduate Repre­ sentative Dustin Naylor. Now the 24-year-old business Will issue has four spots for students to sit in. “I encourage students to use their voice, and join the com­ mittee if they wantjto have a say in how the proposal is handled,” said Naylor. The primary goal of the “Zoned Parking System” is to generate revenue for future park­ ing construction costs, including two more surface lots and a park­ ing structure, needed to match population growth and physical development. “We’ve got to go up - we’re running out of surface space,” said Williams. One of the chal­ lenges Parking Service faces is graduate, Manship, has resigned after serving three semesters. “Although I am sad to move on, I do so in confidence that Associated Students will continue to grow and remain the official voice of the students of Cal State San Marcos. I do believe that this organization is better now than when I arrived, and on its way to being even greater with your guidance and support,” said Man­ ship in his letter of resignation. The two resigned heads of ASI, Dean Manship and Vinnie Williams, were elected by approx­ imately 245 students, or 3% of the campus population. However, more changes are anticipated for ASI as a new semester unfolds and a vice presi­ dent has yet to be elected in place of Naylor. “The system can work with­ out a vice president. The duties are delegated to other officers,” said Dr. Francine Martinez, vice president for Student Affairs, and President’s Designee on the ASI board of directors. Martinez said she is excited about » >Article cont. on pg 2 Increase creating another lot specifically for residents when the dorms open, scheduled for 2004, as well as funding the cost of the two new surface lots and a structure. Current calculations, accord­ ing to the minutes, indicate that without increasing revenue, the university parking operation vfill be “in the red” in two years. According to Williams, the uni­ versity must have, due to bond measures, two-thirds of the con­ struction costs in a reserve bank account two years before con­ struction begins. Williams called the proposal a “hot topic” and said that Parking Fee Services is approaching groups on campus “for feedback and suggestions for improvement.” Because faculty and staff have their parking fees protected by contract, which can only be negotiated through the California Faculty Association (CFA), Park­ ing Services cantiot raise faculty and staff parking fees Williams said, “We have to have a $ 14 a month area /or park­ ing, because that’s what faculty/ staff pay to park. If we can’t raise their fees, due to bargaining unit issues, we have to provide an area for them to park.” » >Article cont. on pg 3 President Gonzajez Appointed by President Bush to the Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans By MARTHA SARABIA News Editor President Bush appointed Cal State San Marcos President Alex­ ander Gonzalez on Jan. 28 to serve oij Bush’s Commission on Educational Excellence for His­ panic Americans. Gonzalez is one of only two Californians that have been appointed to this com­ mission of 17 members, and the only president of a institution of higher learning. According to Gonzalez, the purpose of the commission is to prepare Hispanic Americans to go on to higher education or at least to graduate from high school and gain the ability to get a good job. “I would hope that one of the purposes would be that we get more Hispanic or Latinos into the university level or beyond in professional schools,” said Gonzalez. “The most obvious benefit for CSUSM is that I am going to be rep­ resenting the university and people will know that San Marcos exists. This is one of the barri­ ers that we have today. Raise the awareness level of the campus, and the more indirect benefit is that some of the advisory will be enacted and local President Gonzalez. Pride Photo/James Newell students can benefit from that,” said Gon­ zalez. “What I learn from the commission hopefully I can share with the campus com­ munity.” Gonzalez said his role as a professional educator will be to look at the high drop­ out rate of Hispanic students; and he will bring his experiences and findings to the commission. “We can close the achievement gap but one of the major issue for higher education is student preparedness.. .You can get in college but if you are not prepared it is not going to last. Therefore, retention becomes a very important issue,” said Gon­ zalez. “If students are not pre­ pared well, that is going to be a barrier for or to their success.” Furthermore, Gonzalez said that the high drop-out rate of Hispanics is a nation-wide prob­ lem. “Just about every state of the Union has a Hispanic speak­ ing population of some size .. It is a big issue.” Gonzalez, who was born and raised in East L.A. and attended Garfield High School, will now have the opportunity to be in » >Article cont. on pg 3 �Women’s Leadership Conference By CLAUDIA IGNACIO Pride Editor “Decisions Count!” is the theme for this year’s Women’s Leadership Conference. After a three-year lapse, on Friday, March 8, 2002, Cal State San Marcos will once again host the women’s leadership confer­ ence. This year the committee is targeting North County women from local high schools, CSUSM and the community. The two high-school partici- pants are Valley Center High School and El Camino High School. “Mentoring is our primary concern, and by creating small groups in those divisions the conference will be more struc­ tured,” said Director of Student and Residential Life, Bridget K. Blanshan. The event includes workshops for each and all of the groups and a keynote speaker. In addition, the topics will include networking, bal­ ancing work and personal lives, effective communication, and staying healthy. The confer­ ence is a one-day event. The committee is taking applications from which a total of 90 women will be selected to participate in the conference. The selection will be made based on career inter­ est and other areas. There is an application fee of $ 10. “Our goal is to maximize women’s understanding of their advan­ tages and options,” said Blan­ shan.

Martinez said that at the first board meeting since Man­ ship’s resignation there is “an enhanced purpose within the organization.” She said this enhanced purpose comes partially from Manship’s continuity in leader^ ship from last year and par­ tially from Keith Speers, new Executive Director. “Dean built a foundation. He created a board that could step in within a moment’s notice. [When he began], Keith Speers breathed some new air and excited ASI,” said Martinez. Manship ran for re-elec­ tion last May after serving two semesters as ASI presi- dent. “I knew I was graduating in December, but I didn’t think of it that way,” said Manship, when asked if he planned on leaving office while campaign­ ing for re-election. Manship said that his per­ sonal goal “that students never knew or saw” and one he accomplished was the restruc­ turing of the ASI organization. Business practices of the orga­ nization were cleaned up and “we had to get everything in line for the chancellor’s audit this year,” said Manship. The audit is still in process. However, Manship said that, while in office, he would have liked to put together more programs. When prompted for ideas, he explained that former student Rita Reynolds brought the idea of a laptop-leasing pro­ gram to ASI, but the idea was never developed by the board. Manship said he also had ideas about an electronic board that posts the day’s events, sim­ ilar to the one,at SDSU. “Post­ ing at the university is rough and not very student centered. It’s like they don’t want it to seem like a university campus sometimes,” he said. But, at the end of his term, Manship said he feels confi­ dent leaving the board in the hands of Executive Director Keith Speers and new presi­ dent Dustin Naylor. For now, the Executive Vice President position and College of Education represen­ tative positions remain unfilled. However, campaigns for next year’s positions begin March 1 and voting will happen in May. Whether the two positions will be filled by the end of the term or by the time other candidates begin vying for positions has yet to-be determined. Q&A with New Student President: Dustin Naylor By MELANIE ADDINGTON For The Pride Dustin Naylor began the 2001-02 school year as undergrad­ uate representative for the student government, Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) and a writer for The Pride. However, Naylor quickly had to adjust to his new role as Exec­ utive Vice President when, after a few weeks, Executive Vice PresidentVinnie Williams resigned. Although the bylaws for ASI state that the student president can name his new VP, Manship asked the board to decide on the replace­ ment for Williams. The board chose Naylor. After one semester as VP, he had to again adjust to a new role as student president when Dean Man­ ship resigned at the beginning of the spring semester. Due to Naylor’s new and busy schedule, The Pride chose to con­ duct an e-mail interview with him. It proceeded as follows: (The Pride) Q: When did you first find out you were becoming president?

Q: How do you feel about being promoted in such a short amount of time (four months) to VP and then to President? A; It’s a very exciting and unique experience to sit on the Board of Directors. I strive to con­ tribute to the students of Cal State San Marcos the same compassion and integrity, whether my position is Undergraduate Rep., Executive V.P., or President. Q: What strengths do you bring to the job? A: As a transfer student, I quickly became involved in student organizations here at Cal State San Marcos. I served as recruitment chair and corporate secretary for Sigma Alpha Epsilon, one of the largest student organizations here on campus. I sat on the Board of Directors as Undergraduate repre­ sentative and Executive Vice Presi­ dent for ASI before accepting the President’s position. Being con­ stantly exposed to a diverse and dynamic group of students enables me to clarify and express student voice and opinion. Q: What is the big difference between the two positions? A: As President, I am the offi­ cial representative for the corpora­ tion on campus, in the community, and with schools and organiza­ tions thereof. I serve as sole medi­ ator to the Board of Directors and generally supervise and direct the business of the officers of the corpo­ ration. Both positions deal mainly with meeting on university and ASI committees. Whereas the Exec. VP handles issues regarding students, the president focuses more on deal­ ings with faculty and adminis­ tration. [Now] I sit on a variety of committees, including Budget Review, Student Fees, arid Instructionally Related Activities. Q: What are you going to do to handle such a change? A: Prior experience with the Board and working .closely with Dean in the last couple years makes the transition to President very comfortable. Time manage­ ment and good xommunication is key. Q: Does it say anything about the ASI administration how some­ one can easily jump around to dif­ ferent positions in such a short amount of time? A: The face of the Board of Directors changes with every year. Our bylaws are structured to handle such a change in a professional business manner. Q: Is this new position going to affect your classes this semester? A: It definitely affected my class status within the Pride. But for the most part: No. Q: What else is going on at ASI right now? ASI is currently in the middle of Black History Month, spon­ soring a scheduled calendar of events, including a Black History Month Breakfast featuring key­ note speaker Dr. Karen Whitehearst-Payne on Friday, Feb. 15. We have included men’s and wom­ en’s lacrosse and soccer in our list of recreational activities, and are excited about the formation of a coed surf team, which is expected to be highly competitive at a national level. Come spring, we expect a huge turnout for intra­ mural basketball, flag football, and drop-in volleyball. Q: Do you think you will run for re-election in May? If not, why? If so, why? A: I graduate in May; I will not be running for re-election Q: What advice dp you have to new students (as far as getting involved)? A: I would advise that students try to meet new people. College is a networking strategy designed to bring individuals together to create successful partnerships and lasting friendships. I encourage students to get involved with clubs, recreation sports, Greek life, honor societies, and on-campus programming. ASI provides room for involve­ ment in student and universitybased committees, giving students voice in decisions that affect them. I would also like to see inter­ action within the transfer and grad­ uate community here at Cal State San Marcos. Gaining insight from upper-classmen helps our univer­ sity in that the opinion voiced now will contribute to educational standards, policies, student fees and programming to .come in later years. As our university grows, our students need to realize that their contributions to the university will ultimately determine how our how our graduates and our degrees are weighted in San Diego and sur­ rounding communities. �Parking Fee Increase Promises a Better Structure CSUSM Parking Lots Courtesy photo/www. csusm.edu »A rticle cont. from pg 1 That area would, according to the proposal, be in Zone 3, which will include lots B, N and O. Although faculty and staff currently park in the lot closest to campus (E), if the proposal goes through, that lot would fall into the newly instated Zone i, which students would then have access to for $50 per month. Faculty and staff would be required to park in Zone 3, the $14 per month zone in which students may also purchase parking. Williams said that Parking Services has “run into resistance from union representatives on*^ campus” regarding zoning the lots. According to the pro­ posal, this new threezone system is designed to allow flexibility for all users by segregating zones based on proximity to campus. In addition to the $14 per month Zone 3, two more zones will be desig­ nated. Zone 1, which would consist of lots C, E, and N, would run students $50 per month, per space. Zone 2, or lots B, C, J, N, and O, would comprise the $30 per month spaces. A consultant was brought in last semester to assess the parking situation on campus, arid recom­ mended the zonal parking system, suggesting that both the shuttle and stack park­ ing was not cost effective for Parking Services, according to the minutes from the Jan­ uary 23 meeting. Parking Services has asked ASI to assist in bring­ ing students accurate infor­ mation about the proposal and its effects.

First, they will advise U.S. secretary of Education Rod Paige on the progress of Hispanic Americans in closing the academic achievement gap and meeting the promise of the new No Child Left Behind Act of2001. Second, they will monitor and measure the per­ formance of federal agencies in creating federal initiatives within the Hispanic community and hold them responsible for improving the participation of His­ panic Americans in federal education programs.

And as an educator, I found that education always took me to photog­ raphy, and pho­ tography always took me back to education,” said Morris. The uniqueness of his presen­ tation lies within the arrangement of the photographs displayed. According to Morris, there was no specific way of organizing the pictures. However, structure By MARLINO BITANGA Pride Staff Writer The theme “seeing comes before words” describes the meaning of celebrating Black History Month through the per­ spective of artist Major Morris, who has amplified the life and times of inner-city youngsters by presenting diverse black and white images in his photography exhibition: “Sands of My Time: An Eclectic View.” “The children in these photographs are reminiscent of how I grew up and the gles I encountered groping way through an underprivi leged youthful existence, images show that kids hopes and dreams that need be nurtured,” said Morris. Currently a North local, Morris’ passion for tography was uplifted and moti vated by the birth of his and complemented by his of working in a dark room, His#personal discovery ena. him to build a bridge between passion and profit. “I shot or not, the effect of the exhi­ bition highlights Morris’ artistic character. “Everything here is candid. It is not staged. There is no statement being made here. Photog­ raphy, to me, is the essence of sensing, and being there at that feeling, particular moment. My reward is the interpretation,” said Morris. Morris’ versatile approach, utilizing photographic landscapes, still-life imagery, and abstract concepts has not only given him a voice of expression, but a m edium to share his love and passion for life and photogra­ phy with his audience. “My hope is that photographs will continue to offer honest and significant observations on life as I haVe and continue to experience it, and that I will leave ... footprints on the sands of time [and] that others, seeing, may take heart again, and perhaps, affect mean­ ingful change,” said Morris. Major Morris’ “Sands of My Time: An Eclectic View,” will be on display in the library through­ out the month of February.

The night was par­ tially clear, and when the fog and haze gave way to a patch of clear sky, we noticed the rays of the full moon reflecting off the snow that collects in the mountaintop valleys. As the moon and the haze battled throughout the last hours of early morning, we passed through moments of eerie half-darkness, any and all light obscured by low-lying clouds. Then, just as we were forced to slow our speed to a crawl along the winding mountain road, the fog broke and the moon’s rays combined with the snow’s white glow shining almost as bright as day.

After a morning of slowly waking up and shaking off the long, rainy drive from Tahoe, we took off to find the waves of Santa Cruz, which all surfers have heard about. When most people think of the beach and surfing, they think more intense. The water was cold and uninviting; I could actually feel the difference in density. When I fell it was much more difficult to penetrate through the surface of the water. And when I was beneath the water, the cold penetrated deep into my bones, at times, to the point of pain. It was a dip into the menacing natural elements of the Northern Califor- about a sunny Malibu day with warm water, surfers in swim trunks, and families playing on the beach. Going to the beach in Santa Cruz in the winter was not at all the commonly accepted image of surfing; it was much nia Coast. The waves were big, and although I had a great time, it was much more serious than what most surfers consider fun. By the end of the day, I felt, both men­ tally and physically, drained. �Tricks of the Trade Cheap R o m a n t i c D ining By, LISA LIPSEY Pride Feature Editor 5 ounces cocoa powder 1 lb. butter or margarine By: GEORGE BURGESS JR.

Circle yes or no.” In spite of this memory from our adolescent past, we can look at this situation as our prema­ ture, ceremonial way of obtain­ ing the title boyfriend/girlfriend to justify a committed relation­ ship with someone. However, I feel this condition has created a fixation or a demand for the individual to have such a “title.” So my question is, if you are dating someone exclusively, and you both know where you stand with each other, does putting a “label” on your relationship matter? According to Elaine Lee, a senior at Cal State San Marcos, it does matter. “Not having the title suggests that the relation­ ship is an open one and that each individual in the relationship is free to date other people. If there were a title, dating other people would be considered cheating.” Likewise, John Burke, a sophomore at CSUSM stated, “the title is the security blanket of the relationship. It’s what makes it official.” Not everyone may agree with these viewpoints. Tisha Flores, a communication major at CSUSM, said a label does not matter. “As long as both individuals know how they feel for each other, that’s all that matters. If the relationship is denied, then that’s bad.” Nina Robinson, a sophomore at CSUSM, agreed that if you establish an understanding with each other, then the title becomes little more than a social state­ ment. Jen Jarrell, a CSUSM communication major, added, “A label is not important because the relationship you build together creates an unspoken connection between each other. There is no need to proclaim a title.” I feel that “titles” and “labels” can be misused and appear coun­ The Pride CORRECTIONS, Co-Editor Co-Editor News Editor Feature Editor Opinion Editor Graduate Intern Business Manager Advisor Claudia Ignacio James Newell Martha Sarabia Lisa Lipsey Alyssa Finkelstein Amy Bolaski Victor Padilla Madeleine Marshall terfeit. For example, a man could acknowledge a female as his girl­ friend, but yet turn around and kiss someone else. What did the title “girlfriend” mean in this episode? It falls along the same lines as saying “I Love You” or saying you want a “wedding” vs. a “marriage.” Whatever the case may be, I believe that what you have accomplished within a relation­ ship with someone has more meaning and sincerity than any “title” or “label” will ever have. number, e-mail and identification.

LETTERS To the editors: A week ago I wrote about my frustration in dealing with the Cal State San Marcos system and the inflated bureaucracy. However, I want to acknowledge that right after my complaint, several campus staff took time to work with me to get my situ­ ation resolved. My problem ended up being much more than having my classes dropped (as I originally thought). Instead, my graduation was delayed due to annoying paperwork problems. An inde­ pendent study I took in place of another class needed to have paperwork signed by the teacher to prove the independent study could be used for the class. I was not informed of that when I orig­ inally took the class; because of this I did not know I had to go searching to fix the paper prob­ lem while I was still a student. I know now. For the two weeks before the semester, I ran around the campus from office to office trying to solve my dilemma. Along the way, the staff at the enrollment desk helped me every time I ran into the office asking yet another ques­ tion. Other times when I have gone in there, staff members were polite, but hardly friendly. But this time they were wonder­ ful. Also, I was very grateful when Janice Meliska, of Records and Registration, healed my graduation woes immediately. Well ... once the proper paper­ work was in place. I am also very grateful for the time spent e-mailing back and forth with Gerrie Hatten in the financial aid office. She helped me tremendously with trying to deal with my financial aid struggles. Just when I least expected it, this campus, and the people that work for it, came through for me. Thanks. Melanie Addington Graduate Student To the editors: On Feb, 4,2002,1 had an appointment to be seen by a physician at the campus clinic. This appointment was scheduled for 1:00 p.m. Strangely, I wasn’t seen until at least 2:00. Appar­ ently, this is supposed to be acceptable to me? No one made any attempt to explain why I was seen so late. I had scheduled this appointment so that it wouldn’t conflict with another appointment I had in San Diego. The delay I was forced to undergo at the campus clinic put me behind. I don’t think my delay was anything new to them. If I was to be seen at 2:00 it sure would have been nice for them to at least notify me so that I could have done something more worthwhile than sit in their office for an extra hour. Is this sort of operation the sign of professionalism or just plain incompetence? Interestingly, at least one nurse was proactive enough to take my vital signs ahead of time, so that when ! was finally seen by the M.D., I wouldn’t be killing more time. I suspect the debacle that I was forced to endure was not only the result of a laissez-faire attitude at the clinic but the result of being understaffed. Consid­ ering the fact that Califor­ nia had a huge state budget surplus a little more than a year ago, and now it doesn’t, it is my judgment that it will be a long time coming before our “clinic” will see any sort of staffing addi­ tions. Where are our state government’s priorities? I hope that its name is on the list of those who are suing Enron for compensation. Wasn’t it Enron who high jacked us for our state sur­ plus that could have helped pay for a better qualitycontrol system on who is hired to work in the Univer­ sity medical clinics?

School officials have defined the league as a way to keep players in shape for tiext season’s league. According to Khalid Alshafie, the men’s soccer coach, the league will work as a fitness program and as a way for the players to work on their condi­ tioning during off season and to get ready for next season. Brad Schmidt, Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) Club Ser­ vice Technician, agrees with Alshafie by defining the program as an off-season extension of last semester’s soccer participa­ tion and is intended to keep the player’s skills sharp and main­ tain their level of fitness. According to Schmidt, the 15 soccer players from the fall league will be participating in the indoor league that is coordinated by the City of Escondido Parks and Recreation Department, not by CSUSM. Schmidt also said that the students on the men’s soccer team are covering the expenses associ­ ated with this off-season league. Preschool Substitutes, aides, & teach­ ers.

Also, new players added to this league will need to stop by the ASI office to complete a partic­ ipation packet and must pay a participation fee of $100 prior to playing.

The ceremony was concluded with the raising of the Olympic flag and the lighting of the Olym­ pic flame. The Olympic flag was carried by world athletes and lead­ ers. There are traditionally eight flag bearers, each representing one of the five continents and one of the three pillars of Olympic competi­ tion —sport, culture, and environ­ ment. Representing the Americas was former astronaut and United Sates Senator John Glen, now 80 years old. Representing Europe was Poland’s former president Lech Walesa, who helped to bring down the Iron Curtain from the inside. Nobel Peace Prize winner Arch­ bishop Desmond Tutu represented the continent of Africa, and 1998 Japanese gold medalist Kazuyoshi Funaki represented Asia. Austra­ lian gold medalist Cathy Freeman carried the flag for Oceania, and representing Sport was a three­ time French Olympic gold medalist named Jean Claude Killy. Rep­ resenting the pillar of Culture was America’s own Steven Spiel­ berg, and representing Environment was Jean Michele Cousteau, son of famous environmentalist Jaques Cousteau. The person honored with the lighting of the Olympic flame is traditionally kept a secret until the very last moment. As famous * winter Olympians from as far back as 1948 escorted the flame through the stadium, no one knew who would be the last bearer of the flame to actually light the torch. Finally, it was handed off to the dream team of Olympic ice hockey from the 1980 Olympic Games. This year’s Olympics will offer seven new areas of competition — the most unusual of which is a new Olympic sport called skele­ ton. Skeleton is similar to luge, but instead of traveling feet-first on their backs, the athletes travel headfirst on their stomachs. The sport was invented in St. Moritz, Switzer­ land, and was previously included in the Games both times they were staged ih St Moritz - 1928 and 1948. This year, a women’s bob­ sleigh team will be added as an official event, as well as five new disciplines in Nordic skiing and two new races in speed skating. The format of the snowboarding giant slalom event has also changed.

This project will increase the capacity of the lot by nearly sixty spaces. The sight of b ulk dozers i n the lot should not, however, give students hope that there may soon be an end to their own parking woes. Expansion is the only available option to accommodate the number of staff members who regularly park on campus. Robert Williams, Technical Coordinator of Parking Services at CSUSM, explains, "The rows of [Lot E] are not conducive to stack parking, they're too narrow. Even if we wanted to do stack parking [in Lot E], it's not feasible" The increased lot space will also make more special parking permits available to students. Dora Knoblock, Director of Parking Services at CSUSM, emphasizes that parking services will strive to accommodate alternative modes of transportation such as bicycling, walking, and carpooling, "A main emphasis for us is expanding on the carpool program and alternative modes [of transportation]." Construction on lot E is scheduled t o be complete by March 20 of this year. Parking Services spends an additional $1,000 per month in rent for the use of parking space at the San Marcos Ambulatory Care Center (SMACC), located across from campus on Twin Oaks Valley Road. Students, however, are deterred from using this space due to the lack of shuttle service offered at CSUSM. "We currently have 160 spaces at SMACC that are clearly stenciled. Unfortunately we don't have people using them," says Knoblock. Parking Services does plan to lease another van in the near »Article continues on page 2 W hy Should You Care?

So Roses Sold O n C ampus By: Claudia Ignacio Pride Staff Writer "Valentine's Day is a good day for business, as most people wait to the last minute to do their shopping and stick to the traditional," said Mary Ann Lind. Owner of an Oceanside floral shop, Lind set up her floral arrangements outside the University Store, on February 13 and 14. Lind's curiosity to see how the CSUSM community would react to a floral sale event led her to submit a business proposal to Aztec Shops two months prior to the event. Aztec Shops, who oversees the bookstore and the convenience store, authorized permission for Lind to set up and conduct her sale. The agreement was that Lind would pay 10% of the profits to Aztec Shops. "It is a great idea, aside from being very convenient," said student Lisa Lipsey. Students also recognized that the prices were very reasonable con^pared to other local stores.

What is now one of San Diego's last undeveloped bits of coastline will, in the years to come, follow alongside the rest of Southern California. The Manchester Project, named after its founder, proposes to develop the two-block area of Pier View Way and Pacific Street. The initial designs, including a 500-room hotel spread across three structures, did not meet the guidelines set by the local coastal program. Thursday night's meeting discussed a refined and somewhat toned-down version. The revised plan consists of approximately 400 hotel rooms in just two buildings. Compared to the size of hotels around the world these days, it isn't all that grand but put it on the beach in Oceanside; it will stand out ias if it were the MGM Grand. Opposition to the project from the beginning has been wide- spread. A focus of local community concern is that the initial plan involves using public parkland around the pier and the possibility of limiting public parking and access to the area. Joyce Powers of the Oceanside City Redevelopment Agency explains that there will always be a certain amount of opposition to such a change, but as time moves on people will see the benefits. She added that public access is still in question, but the scaled back version leaves the amphitheater and the surrounding parkland as city property. The aspect people are having a problem with is that the part of Pacific Street affected will no longer be open to vehicular traffic. The small section of street between Pacific St. and Pier View Way will be turned into a pedestrian thoroughfare. This will divert traffic two blocks east around the hotel; placing the front of the hotel on Myers St. and the back no father than Pacific St. After hearing the basic intentions of the Manchester Project, people appeared positive about the proposed changes, but harbor some concerns about the fina plans. Todd Ayers, owner o Oceanside Surf and Sport an< avid surfer, is weary about what i in store for the beach and know; of people who are against th< plan. He says, however, the proj ect will be a good direction fo the city. "The project will maki the town look nicer, and it wil bring more tourism. I'm all fo it," said Ayers. Project leaders and the city council insist that the redevelopment will aid in the efforts, already in progress, to clean up the city. Once complete, the resort will contain restaurants and stores in addition to the hotel, creating local employment opportunities. City and project leaders say it will bring millions of dollars to the community in tax revenues alone. With the Environmental Impact Report slated for June island the development approval plan by December 1, there is only a short time left before Oceanside falls in line with the rest of the southern California beach communities.

(Pride P hoto/Chris Weedon) Chris Rock Delivers the Laughs in Down to Earth By: Marcy Rivera Pride Staff Writer Unbeknownst to some people, Down To Earth is a remake of the movie, Heaven Can Wait. This new comedy does a fair job of retelling the story of a person killed long before they were supposed to die as the result of an angel's mistake. That person in Down To Earth, is Lance Barton, portrayed by funnyman Chris Rock (Lethal Weapon 4). Barton is a black deliveryman and an unsuccessful comedian who is humor-challenged onstage at comedy clubs. In fact, he is nicknamed "Booey" because he is booed off the stage so often. Offstage, however, he is very funny and is looking forward to the chance to perform at A p o l l o ' s amateur night. While making a delivery on his bike, he is love struck by the beautiful Sontee Jenkins (Regina King, Enemy of the State), but then is struck again, when a truck (Chazz Palminteri, The Usual Suspects). Barton is able to return to earth, but in the loaner body of Charles Wellington, a white, rich older man, just murdered slyly by his wife and her boyfriend. When a more suitable body is found, in which he could perform at the Apollo, Barton will have to transfer bodies again. Inside, Barton is still Barton and he sees himsetf as Barton (as does the audience), but everyone else sees him as Wellington. Barton, as Wellington, sets out to right the wrongs committed by Wellington before he died and win the heart of Ms. Jenkins while enjoying the life of luxury. Ultimately, he still longs to win one of the five spots to perform in the Apollo amateur night.

In heaven, know- there yet, Barton bargains with come from the scenes of Barton, ing he is not supposed to be an intriguing angel, Mr. King shown briefly as the . older, reserved Wellington, grooving and singing the lyrics to rap music and doing stand-up routines. The movie's performers were all great, especially Wanda (comedienne/ actress Wanda Sykes), a maid to Wellington, who provides some great comical lines. Wellington's butler, Cisco (Mark Addey, The Full Monty), is charming in his role as well. The movie features a great soundtrack with selections from Lauryn Hill, Ruff Endz, Snoop Doggy Dog, and Monica. Even though Down to Earth is a comedy, it still tackles serious issues like reincarnation and the afterlife, as well as injustice and judging by appearances. The movie depicts a realistic view of how different races are treated and accepted, offering important lessons beneath the surface of the comedic moments. Down to Earth was directed by Paul Weitz and Chris Weitz and is rated PG-13 by MPAA for language, sexual humor and some drug reference/' �The Pride C o-Editor C o-Editor O pinion E ditor F eature E ditor S ports E ditor G raduate I ntern A dvisor M elanie A ddington V ictoria B .

Students in media from community colleges, public, and private universities from across the country gathered together from Feb. 15-17 to share new ideas, discuss problems, and learn from professionals in present day media. During those three days, more than 200 workshops were held, covering topics such as vcopyediting, media law, newspaper design, and photojournalism. The New York Times photo editor, Mike Smith, offered one interesting workshop, dealing with photojournalism in a "digital world." Smith's insight on photographing different perspectives, proved very valuable for some of our staff; and we hope to bring more interesting and unusual photographs to the pages of The Pride. Some other topics Smith addressed included the importance of teamwork and the j ethical responsibilities for those in student newspaper. A legal advisor for the Southern Methodist University student newspaper also gave important infor- I mation for news writers and interesting methods for obtaining information for investigative articles. The New York Times news design editor gave an informative lecture on news layout. We can only | hope to improve from the excellent design tips he provided. Matt Zoller Seitz, of The New York Press and Village Voice, gave an entertaining lecture on review | writing. Although he focused on how to properly critique arts, he also emphasized the importance of j knowing how to write in all fields of journalism. One common theme present throughout the workshops we attended was the importance o f i representing the student voice. It is our hope that the knowledge we gained from such workshops will be reflected upon future issues of The Pride. Again, The Pride strongly encourages student contributions.

Ryan Sandahl Pride Staff Writer By: Jayne Braman Pride Graduate Intern Student and Residential Life announced in a December 11 press release that CSUSM "will not continue its limited off-campus housing operation after the end of the current academic year." Under the current program, CSUSM has a contract with Islands Apartments that allows students to lease apartments at below-market rates. The contract, which provides 77 rental units for CSUSM students^ will terminate as of June 30, 2001. The decision not to renew its contract with Islands Apartments leaves the university without student housing until the completion of a 400-bed project expected in 2003. Sandra L. Punch, director of Student and Residential Life (SRL) for CSUSM, stated in the. press release that "Not offering the program was a tough decision," she added, "We understand the rental market is very tight, and we will do all we can to help students who need housing find it." Three factors listed by Punch in the decision to end its current contract include: • The number of first-year students attracted to Cal State San Marcos continues to increase significantly each year. As a result, the campus has found it impossible to support a full range of residential life programs and the services necessary for an effective and sustainable program. »Article continues on page 2 Craven Hall built by CRSS to look postmodern, never intended to look tike a prison. (Pride Photo/Victoria Segall) CSUSM Not a Prison PDC to Renovate Campus Look By: Melanie Addington Pride Editor After eighteen years of public service, Congressman Ron Packard retired this past January. Upon request from CSUSM, Packard donated several boxes of congressional papers to the university. When asked why the university requested the congressional papers from Congressman Packard, Carol Bonomo, Associate Vice President for External Affairs, gave two reasons: the national history involved in Congressman Packard's writein victory to Congress and the history of the university. Packard was CSUSM's founding congressman before the new district lines were drawn in 1990. "I hope that these papers will give good insight into the political history of the region," said Bonomo. According to Marion Reid, Dean of Library and Information Services, "CSUSM will be keeping papers unique to Congressman Packard, such as his speeches and letters tracking his actions in Congress." Packard's papers mark the first congressional papers to be donated to CSUSM. Before students are allowed to view the » Article continues on page 3 fact.

While planning the administration and services building, CSUSM lost funding for the original library and had to put a temporary library in the middle of Craven Hall. Once the new library is built, however, they plan to use the open space of the fourth floor for open administration offices, Disabled Student Services and EARS (EOP and ASPIRE). According to Cheryl Le Gras, Senior Director of College Success Services, a "one-stop shop" for students will be located on the third floor. This will include Financial Aid and Enrollment Services. "The cashiers will not be moved into the one-stop shop center," says Le Gras, "but during peak times of the year, which have not been determined, individuals from cashiering will be stationed at the counter in the one-stop shop." The one-stop shop opening target date is Spring 2004. In addition, a one-card sys- tem office may be added. Marti Gray, the Executive Director of the Foundation at CSUSM, is currently coordinating the "needs assessment phase" of the one-card system. Gray pointed out that "the campus has not yet determined whether we will have a 'one-card' or not. If the campus decides that it's beneficial [from a service and a financial standpoint] to have a 'one-card,' students will be asked to participate in the planning of services offered on the card." Proposed under the one-card system, students will only use one-card as a student I.D., printing card, campus debit card, and dormitory housing key. When asked if he would like using a one-card system, student David Ludwig said, "I believe that [it] could be a convenient system if the potential security issues were ignored. It would be convenient to have one card to do everything; however, I would not be comfortable with the access into my life that someone else would gain if they got a hold of my card." Regarding student concern, Marti Gray said, "they [CSUSM] are fully aware of all security issues and any concerns of students and these will be looked into if they decide to plan the one-card system." The Career and Assessment Center, photo I.D., Student and Residential Life, and a satellite office for Counseling and Psychological Services will also be located on the third floor once the Craven Hall Renovation Project is completed. Black History Month Celebrated at CSUSM "It Is Never Too Late To Learn99 By: Victoria B. Segall Pride Editor February 2001 marks the 75th celebration of Black History Month.

CSUSM Students Reveal Beliefs in National Survey By: Jayne Braman Pride Graduate Intern CSUSM students participated in the inaugural National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). The findings from the spring 2000 survey reveal that "CSUSM curriculum is distinguished by an unusually strong emphasis on abstract thinking skills, writing, the use of electronic medium, and fostering interaction among students from diverse backgrounds," according to Bettina Huber, Director of Analytic Studies, in her address Wednesday, Jan. 31, at the AllFaculty Meeting and Academic Assembly. The NSSE survey is an extension from an annual inquiry of four-year colleges and universities. The NSSE survey is unique in that respondents estimate the amount of time they, devote to various academic activities during the academic year instead of responding to questions about their level of satisfaction. Last spring's survey focused on entering and exiting students at a diverse group of 276 four-year colleges and universities. Surveys were randomly sent to 350 firsttime freshman and 350 seniors at CSUSM, with responses from 163 freshman and 206 seniors. Students responded to 40 survey items that developed five benchmarks for effective educational practice. The benchmark scores revealed: 1) Level of Academic Challenge, wherein 85 percent of seniors and 80 percent of freshman responded that they were intellectually and creatively challenged by an emphasis on synthesis and analysis and the number of papers required. 2) Enriching Educational Experiences, wherein 85 percent of seniors and 65 percent of freshman responded that they were exposed to peers with diverse ideological Viewpoints and cultural backgrounds and that opportunities in electronic media allowed them to access to real-world experiences. 3) Active and Collaborative Learning, which focused on participatory activities, scored in the 75th percentile with seniors and the 70th percentile with freshman. 4) Student Interactions with Faculty Members, however, scored disproportionately low scores when compared with responses from comparable schools. Only 30 percent of seniors and freshmen responded that they interacted with faculty outside of class. Huber believes that the results reflect an aspect that is "not integral to life on a commuter campus." Students tend to leave campus shortly after classes with approximately 40 percent of students working more than 20 hours per week off campus. 5) Supportive Campus Environment - this benchmark reflects a disparity between freshman and seniors responses with 60 percent of freshman feeling that the faculty and staff are committed to their success while only 25 percent of seniors responded similarly. "CSUSM received disproportionately high scores on three of the five benchmarks identified," commented Huber, "One of the reasons the San Marcos respondents find their course work unusually challenging is the substantial emphasis their courses place on abstract-thinking skills. Both freshman and senior respondents are more likely than those at other master-level campuses to say that their courses place substantial emphasis on analyzing ideas or theories, on synthesizing information and experiences, and on making judgments about the accuracy of arguments and methods." Campus administrators feel that these curricular strengths are reflective of longstanding campus commitments and may lead to a distinguished trademark for the university. �Escondido Humane Shelter Needs Help to Rebuild By: Melanie Addington Pride Editor A f ire destroyed the Escondido Humane Society shelter on January 20, and led to the deaths of one hundred and f ifteen animals.

A fter the papers are organized, they will b e available f or student viewing upon request. Due to the shortage of library s taff and the planning of the new library, the congressional papers will not be available for viewing until the new library opens in the summer of 2003. As CSUSM's founding congressman, Packard served the 48th District that covers Carlsbad through Temecula, the residences of more than twenty-percent of CSUSM students. Packard was the f ourth Congressman in history to reach o ffice through a w ritein in 1982. A write-in occurs when voters actually write the name of the candidate they wish to vote for on the ballot. In a recent press release, Congressman Packard stated the following: " I am pleased that my congressional papers will b e housed at Cal State San Marcos. The district I served and the university that was founded during m y congressional career have meant a great deal t o me and to my family.

These students f ind rewards in the form of experience, academic credit, or personal satisfaction. Now, through the new Radin Community Service Scholarship, students who give their time and work can receive a $1,000 cash award. Fresno entrepreneur Marc Radin started the scholarship. According to Lynda Gaynor, Director of the O ffice of Community Service Learning, Radin wanted college students to have the chance to not only to help in the community, but also to test out their career ideas. Therefore, the volunteer work given by students must relate to either their major or future career direction.

LTWR 318 has been in the catalog for five years, but this is the first semester since 1998 that the class has been available to students. Professor of the Small Press Publishing course, Dr. Madeleine Marshall, has joined forces with Community Service Learning (CSL) to provide a learning experience that will allow students to leave the class with a "sense of the practical usefulness of writing and editing skills, the opportunities to do good in the community-to explain worthy causes, to tell stories, to raise money," says Dr. Marshall, " Often, even to help an organization find its purpose."

Go Greek day featured performances by bands Agent 51 and Handful. "Agent 51 is to-thebone rock and roll," said Sean Scura, bassist and vocalist for the band. Agent 51 also includes Eric Davis on guitar and vocals, Mike Levinson on drums, and Chris Armes on guitar and lead vocals. Agent 51, who hail from Poway, have been playing together for seven years. They have played at venues including Cannes, Epicenter and Palomar College, and will tour the U.S. in November. Their new CD, "Just Keep Running," was released July 19. The band Handful also played. "It was cool to come back here and play," said Handful band member, Zack Walters, an alumnus of CSUSM, "I graduated in the spring and now see a lot of new faces." Handful members include Walters on lead vocals, Conor Volk on drums, and Eric Gaskell on bass. Handful has been playing together for more than two years.

The new program would have given Escondido residents a direct bus route to Cal State San Marcos. The proposed bus route, 347, would have replaced bus route 383. The original date for the start of the service was Sept. 16. However, NCTD and coach operators were unable to agree on a contract. On Friday, coach operators voted against a contract proposed by the NCTD. Many of the coach operators said the NCTD was " . . . not being fair, they have to pay us what we deserve, many administrators make more money than we do." "Passengers should have faster trips, enjoy more convenient service on main routes, and see more comfortable bus stops over time," according to an NCTD booklet publicizing the service. Meeting Our Future Transportation Needs By CLAUDIA IGNACIO Pride Feature Editor North County residents attended a workshop on Saturday to assist the California Department of Transportation's development of a federally mandated, 20-year California Transportation Plan (CTP) for 2025. Kimberly Weinstein, chief of the system-planning branch, said that she was surprised to see low turnout. 50 people attended the workshop. "We were.expecting a lot more people," said Weinstein. San Marcos residents who participated in the workshop stressed their desires for a more accessible and safe transportation system. Solana Beach and Del Mar residents want better community environment. The CTP is a long-range transportation plan that will address local, regional, interregional, and international transportation issues. "The plan is to make every dollar count to improve mobility," said Jack Boda, Interim District Director of Caltrans. The CTP Public Participation Program reaches out to various communities throughout California to learn the public's views on transportation issues, including the improvement of highways, streets, rails, and transit systems. Charles Anders, President of Strategic Initiatives, conducted an audience survey with the use of interactive audience technology, which is similar to online polling. According to his results, the important transportation needs for the public in 2025 include: viable transportation choices, and affordable, accessible transportation. "Every community is different and we understand that there are different needs, that is why we are conducting this survey to try to reach all needs," said Anders. The California Department of Transportation-District 11 and the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) presented the workshop. The CTP will host two more workshops, olie in San Diego and another in Imperial County. The CTP will draft a plan and policy review and will return in the winter of 2001 with a final draft for public review and comment. Those would like to participate are asked to contact Renee Krolikowski at (619) 688-3295. By JAMES NEWELL Pride Staff Writer impact of the decision to pull out that the U.S. made. They contend that although the conference has not progressed as planned, they will continue to discuss ways to mend past racial wrongdoings and acceptable ways to deal with ethnic diversity around the world. The remaining delegates said they have not lost hope. The conference is designed to look at and celebrate cultural diversity, but was hindered by the focus on the Israelis' treatment of Palestinians, and the question of the West paying reparations to past victims of slavery. When the U.S. pulled out from the conference, the action sparked mixed reviews from conference attendees. AfricanAmerican protesters said they wondered why the U.S. would not compromise and continue with the talks, and delegates said there was no room for a compromise. "This is not a question of persuading people. This was a question of an iron wall ... ," said delegation member and Calif. Representative, Tom Lantos. On the other hand, Mary Robinson, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights who organized the conference said, "There is a good sense that we are back on course." Last week the U.S. joined Israel and backed out of the World Conference Against Racism, held in South Africa. Before the conference started, the U.S. and Israel warned that they would not participate if the offensive language in the documentation, labeling Israel as "a new kind of apartheid," was not removed. Secretary of State Colin Powell said, "I have taken this decision with regret because of the importance of the international fight against racism and the contribution that the conference could have made to it." The European Union, in addition to the U.S. and Israel, questioned the criticism of the Israeli nation, but they decided to continue talks on a promise from the delegates to re-draft conference documents. The re-draft used Thursday acknowledged a forced occupation of Palestine by Israel, but no longer labels Israel as racist. Since the change in the documents came at such a late time in the conference, delegates from the remaining groups said they wonder if there will be any progress.

Goldstein is part of the women's lacrosse club, the newest addition to campus clubs this year. Rachel Acfalle, another student and lacrosse player, said, "Right now it (lacrosse) is an extracurricular activity." Lacrosse is a spring sport that combines soccer, hockey, and football. The total cost for the lacrosse equipment, which includes the sticks and shoes, is about $100 per student, according to Goldstein. There are approximately 20 women in the club, according to Acfalle! The players explained that men's lacrosse is slightly rougher playing than women's lacrosse. The women focus, for example, more on running and using their hands and sticks to catch the ball, while the men play the game more as if it was football. Although official practice will not start until February, women interested in joining the club have begun to practice and use the sport "as a way to release stress," said student Shannon Donahue. No information on the men's lacrosse team is available this week. Jeff Cudmore, co-captain of the lacrosse team, declined an interview, stating that Brad Schmidt, Technical Coordinator for ASI, must be present to answer any questions about the club. Other lacrosse players on the men's team also denied requests for interviews during Friday's lacrosse meeting on Mangrum Track. Schmidt did not respond to an e-mail or phone request for an interview. Those who would like more information on the women's lacrosse club may e-mail Stacy Goldstein at golds010@csusm.edu.

Recently an individual who works for the student government on campus attempted to stonewall The Pride by instructing a group of students not to communicate with Pride reporters. Whether this decision was made to cover up any wrongdoing is not known at this time, but what concerns the student newspaper staff the most is that the students gave up their freedom of speech so willingly. We understand that students make their own choices. Those who choose to give up their rights do so of their own accord. Nevertheless, for those who may not be sure of their rights, we would like to explain them - with the help of information from the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union). Taking control of a student's ability to discuss matters with The Pride is a serious offense to the editors and to the readership of the student paper. We understand that people will try to conceal information. But any attempt to keep individuals quiet, especially students whose stories may be told in print, silences their voices and hinders freedom of expression. Students' voices must be heard, especially in a university whose values include academic freedom and multiple perspectives in the classroom and in the daily lives of all individuals associated with this campus. WHAT IS FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION? "The First Amendment guarantees our right to free expression and free association, which means that the government does not have the right to forbid us from saying what we like and writing what we like; we can form clubs and organizations," according to the ACLU. The Supreme Court has written that this freedom is "the matrix, the indispensable condition of nearly every other form of freedom." Without it, fundamental rights, such as the right to vote, would wither and die. The First Amendment exists precisely to protect even the most offensive and controversial speech from government suppression, with the exception of language intended to incite violence. WHY FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION IS ESSENTIAL (according to the ACLU) • It's the foundation of self-fulfillment. The right to express one's thoughts and to communicate freely with others allows each individual to realize his or her full human potential. • It's vital to the attainment and advancement of knowledge, and the search for the truth. Enlightened judgment is possible only if one considers all facts and ideas, from whatever source, and tests one's own conclusions against opposing views. Therefore, all points of view — even those that are "bad" or socially h armful — should be represented in society's "marketplace of ideas." • It's necessary to our system of self-government and gives the American people a "checking function" against government excess and corruption. The American people must be well informed and have access to all information, ideas and points of view. Mass ignorance is a breeding ground for oppression and tyranny. HISTORY OF FREEDOM Speech is protected in the United States more than in any country in the world. However, the path to freedom was rough. It took nearly 200 years to establish f irm constitutional limits on the government's power to punish "seditious" STUDENT POLL Are you happy with the decision to graduate at Del Mar Fairgrounds? 1/22 0/22 21/22 I don't care No, I want it on campus ^Results from on-line edition survey at www.csusmpride.com The Pride Co-Editor Co-Editor Opinion Editor Feature Editor Graduate Intern Assistant Editor FWS Student Adviser Melanie Addington Victoria B.

The Constitution's creators believed that freedom of expression was the hallmark of a democratic society. But historically, as was the case with the Red Scare of the 1920s and the McCarthy period, First Amendment rights have been tested time and again. But we must keep in mind that censorship threatens free speech. In the 1969 Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District case, the Supreme Court held that students in public schools do not leave their First Amendment rights at the schoolhouse gate. This means that you can express your opinions orally and in writing - in leaflets or on buttons, armbands, or T-shirts, according to the ACLU. "I would lean towards 'no.' It's kind of unusual to hold it at a racetrack where people normally gamble. It would have been nice to graduate on campus."

During the late 18th century, the act was used by the Federalist Party to prosecute prominent Republican newspaper editors, according to the ACLU. The early 20th century was not much better. Many were jailed for expressing their opinions, including feminist Margaret Sanger, who was arrested for giving a lecture on birth control. Finally, in 1969, in Brandenberg v. Ohio, the Supreme established a new standard: speech can be suppressed only if it is intended and likely to produce, "imminent lawless action." The Brandenberg standard prevails today, according to the ACLU. National security has been one way that the government has attempted to shield itself from criticism. The government has historically overused the concept of "national security" to discourage public discussion of controversial policies or decisions, according to the ACLU. While the withholding of information at CSUSM has little to do with national security, The Pride realizes that it is indeed a matter of the students' right to have access to information that concerns them - whether that information is about the administration, clubs and organizations, policies and procedures - or the decisions of its own government. Was this incident a form of keeping students quiet? We think so. But they shouldn't have let it happen, and we shouldn't continue to let it happen. Even a "little" thing like this has the possibility of further silencing students' voices. Do not let yourself be quieted. "Any attempt to keep (students) quiet... hinders freedom of expression." CONTINUED DISRUPTION OF FREE SPEECH The Pride feels concerned when individuals attempt to take "action that is motivated by an attempt to control, manipulate or punish past or future content." According to the Kincaid v. Gibson case in 1990: School officials cannot: (1) Censor or confiscate a publication, withdraw or reduce its funding, withhold student activities fees, prohibit lawful advertising, fire an editor or adviser, discipline staff members or take any other action that is motivated by an attempt to control, manipulate or punish past or future content. Kincaid v. Gibson, 236 F.3d 342. This law also applies to all student government officials, according to the State Board for Community Colleges v. Olson, 687 P.2d 429.

California State University San Marcos http://www.csusmpride.com CSUSM Graduation Location in Question By LISA LIPSEY Pride Opinion Editor President Alexander Gonzalez gained permission to withdraw the contract to hold graduation at Palomar Community College's football field if a new location is found. The school is working to sign a contract with another venue for the graduation ceremonies of classes 2002 and 2003. The Commencement Planning Committee hopes that this venue will be more appealing to CSUSM graduates. Last year it was noted that, due to construction on campus, the traditional location for graduation held in Founders Plaza would be unavailable over the next two years. With this knowledge, the committee began to search for alternate locations, both on and off campus, to hold graduation. Several locations were considered, including our Mangrum Track, the Escondido Center for the Arts, Vista's Moonlight Amphitheatre and the Del Mar . Fairgrounds. Finally, after a canceled decision to hold graduation at the Del Mar Fair, CSUSM signed a contract with Palomar Community College for the use of their football field. In late July, President Gonzalez sent Out a letter to all students who had applied for graduation this spring, naming Palomar as the commencement location. Many MBA candidates, undergraduates, and faculty responded by letter, expressing their distress over the school's decision.

One concerned senior commented, "We'll , be [graduating] from CSUSM, so that's where we should walk. I'm sure our families would like to see and explore where their money went!" The result is that the committee has re-evaluated its decision.

Explosion Damages Cars and FCB By CLAUDIA IGNACIO Pride Feature Editor The feeling of the ground shaking on campus at 3:15 p.m. is natural to Cal State San Marcos students, faculty and staff. On July 30, however, not only did the ground shake, but bouldersized focks rained down on the university. Although no one was hurt, 80 cars were damaged, as well as the Foundation Classroom Building (FCB). Temporary classrooms are set up to accommodate fall semester classes that are scheduled to meet in FCB. Damage to FCB also altered the lesson plans Of some professors. "My class was moved to a temporary classroom, and because the classroom is not equipped we did not get to see a video which was part of our curriculum. In addition, the air conditioning was not working well," said junior Perla Rivas. The temporary classrooms have approximately 40 student desks, a white board, and a desk. The estimated cost to repair damages to the building is $20,000. California Drilling and Blasting and Hanson Aggregates have agreed to cover all the costs. "This was the worst blast we have had in the last four years," said Chief Executive Officer Bill McCardle. The university has a contract with Hanson Aggregates, which ensures that each blast is performed correctly, safely, and in a sufficient amount of time to clear the way for the construction of future buildings. "It was human error," said Terry Tyson, regional director of safety.

The day began with opening words from guests including President Alexander Gonzalez. Welcoming the crowd in Spanish, Gonzalez told the audience how he was proud that the festival was held at the university. Roberto Gonzalez-Ruiz, a spokesperson from the Consulate General of Mexico in San Diego,, also greeted the crowd and spoke about the importance of families, a message repeated throughout the day. "I hope we continue the tradition," he said. "And we must remember that family is most important. We must do everything to keep the family united."

As the university grows and evolves, however, "alcohol consumption issues will arise," said Susan Mitchell, senior director of Health, Counseling, and Disability Services. In November, California State University Chancellor Charles Reed appointed a committee to review university policies concerning alcohol. The Alcohol Policies and Prevention Committee was created after Adrian Heideman, a Chico State University freshman, died from alcohol poisoning last October. There were also two separate incidents of hospitalization from fraternity binge drinking at SDSU that prompted the systemwide concern. The committee worked for several months and focused on creating broad, realistic policies that could be implemented on the system's 23 individual campuses. The final report by the committee stated that it is manda- tory for each campus to set up an advisory committee. It will be the duty of this committee to develop a strategic plan to deal with the current and future alcohol-related issues at Cal State San Marcos. The panel designed a set of system-wide recommendations to be catered to the individual needs of each campus. The recommendations include: the need for strong presidential leadership, a review of existing policies, the creation of a campus advisory council, the development of goals with an assessment component, and the enforcement of local and state laws. Mitchell said the implementation of the new policies would proceed smoothly at CSUSM. She explained that before last year's problems, CSUSM was already working in collaboration with the National Department of Education, San Diego County Health and Human Resources, the Community Collegiate Alcohol Prevention Program, and local law enforcement to create a network of communication that emphasizes responsible drinking and helps students develop the ability to make well-informed choices. On Saturday, the San Marcos Chamber of Commerce hosted the Grand Summer Fest. The street-style fair encompassed various adult and children's activities, including a beer garden. When asked about alcohol sales at this weekend's event, University Spokesperson Rick Moore explained that, technically, the San Marcos campus does not have a ban on alcohol sales, and that CSUSM was only a site for the Summer Fest. Moore also said that alcohol sales on campus must have the complete, expressed permission from the university president. The report from the committee on alcohol policies and prevention stated that "prohibition of alcohol is not a realistic response to the problem," and that a function focusing primarily on alcohol would be contrary to the university's principles of promoting and encouraging "health and wellness in an environment supportive of learning" Mitchell agrees that banning alcohol is not a practical solutiTTn. She said that she understands that alcohol will be served at certain events, but in an educational setting it does not make sense to have an event focused primarily on drinking. Take Pride!

The event attracted all ages as kids and adults walked throughout the booths spinning wheels and winning prices, feeding and petting the sheep and goats. "We conducted many tours, especially in the afternoon," said Heckman. Most visitors had never been to the campus and it was a nice event to go to. "It is a great place to be, there are a lot of booths, and it has been a good walk," said San Marcos resident Ruben Moreno. Campus Gets N ew Image Cal State San Marcos introduced the new communications mark during Convocation last Wednesday. The new image was created after recommendations of the Academic Program Marketing Task Force created a plan to brand the campus as Cal State San Marcos. The design was developed by Rancho Penasquitos resident Michele Humphrey. Humphrey is the graphic designer who created the UCSD mark. Cal State San Marcos Parking Permit Prices Not to be Raised at This Time By AMY BOLASKI Graduate Intern CSUSM Parking Services has once again made stack parking available to students for the first two weeks of the semester, which began on Thursday, Aug. 23. Parking Services Technical Coordinator Robert Williams said, "Stack parking may possibly extend for a third week (this semester), but right now we're not sure." Williams said Central Parking has been hired to handle the overflow of cars in the student lots during the add/drop period, but that "once the add/ drop period is over, there should be enough parking to accommodate students." Stack parking is available in Lot C. Parking Services also sold parking permits online for the first time this year, a move that Williams said was very successful. "We sold about 1,150 permits online. Next semester we hope to sell a lot more. While it involves a bit of extra work, we want to get people serviced." Permits purchased online were mailed to students' residences at no additional cost, which helped alleviate the longer lines at Parking Services and the Cashier's Office typical at the start of the semester. While there are no immediate plans to raise the price of permits, Williams said Parking Services would put in a bid for a fee increase, in addition to hiring a consultant to help maximize the use and availability of the lots. Students and faculty may still purchase permits at both the Cashier's Office and Parking Services. Vehicle, permits are $62 and motorcycle permits are $30. An annual permit, which runs from Aug. 17, 2001 to Aug.. 17, 2002, is available for $168. Cougar Channel Turned O n By MELANIE ADDINGTON Pride Editor Campus communication may improve due to the new video information service installed on campus. Located in the Dome, two non-audio television sets have been set up and campus information will soon be popping up on the screens in the most populated student area. Student organizations, campus offices, and possibly a commercial sponsor will be allowed to submit their information to the Office of Communications, a part of External Affairs! Information is not restricted to, but will include any campus events, club meetings, and general campus information. Student clubs and organizations will submit their information through e-mail to Julie Wright, Coordinator of Campus Organizations in Commons 207. Wright's e-mail is jwright@csusm.edu. The Office of Communications will then input all information. Weekly information will be posted on Fridays. All submissions should be received at least two weeks in advance. Eventually, other monitors will be placed in areas around campus, including the new library, said Rick Moore, Director of Communications. �Introducing Online Renting at blockbuster.com •Logontoblockbuster.com •Choosefromthousands of movie and game titles •Pay online with a credit card •Pick up your rentals at the BLICKBBSTEITof your choice • It's fast, easy and there's no extra charge Get your first Online Rental FREE at blockbuster.com Available at participating stores.

SEGALL How do you feel about the decision to hold CSUSM's 2001 graduation held off campus? The possible graduation venues include Palomar College or the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Which location would you prefer? "I kinda don't care. It really doesn't matter to me. Hopefully Del Mar. Monica Fatoohi Junior, Liberal Studies major "It's a little disappointing to me. I feel it's an honor to receive your diploma on the campus where you've received your degree. But I would probably choose Palomar because it's close to this campus and it would make it more convenient. The fairgrounds aren't exactly an academic setting."

J ^ g £ Entertaimeilt ] H ie Pride Take Another Bite of American Pie By MELANIE ADDINGTON Pride Editor Sequels usually flop after the great success of the first movie. Yet "American Pie 2 " succeeds in being funnier than the first. The original cast reunites in this sexually crude but well-written movie. And the more everyone has changed, the more they have all remained the same. Sexually hindered Jim, played by Jason Biggs, still desires the voluptuous Nadia (Shannon Elizabeth). Oz (Chris Klein) andHeather (Mena Suvari) are still happily together, with Oz remaining his sensitive self. Kevin (Thomas Nicholas) and Vicky (Tara Reid) are still broken up. Sean W. Scott, who plays Stifler, is still the crudest, testosterone driven male in the bunch, and Paul Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas) is strangely fascinating and still mad for Stifler's mom. In the 1999 hit, "American Pie," the same group attempted to lose their virginity in their last few weeks of high school. "AP2" reintroduces everyone on the last day of college finals, with more sexual antics. The funny sidekick characters of "American Pie-" all have well-deserved lead roles in this version, making the sequel even better than the original. Jim discovers that he is terrible in bed and fears Nadia's return visit. He seeks aid from the hilarious band 'camp geek, Michelle, the woman who devirginized him and left- him on prom night. Alyson Hannigan's performance as Michelle really gives the movie a heart. Her comedic timing blends perfectly with her ability to make the audience feel her emotional upheaval toward the end of the film. Hannigan always plays the sidekick role, such as in the " Buffy the Vampire Slayer" television series. But after this performance, she deserves a starring role. Biggs, once again, plays the adorable, geeky, neurotic Jim. Although he couldn't possibly top the pie scene from the first film, he dares to get close with a bizarre and outrageously funny scene involving porn and superglue. There are a few problems with the casting in "AP2," though. It is great that they ensemble the original cast, but many of the characters have no reason for being there. For example, Jessica, played by the incredible Natasha Lyonne, has few lines and usually just stands in the background. Truly a waste of such great talent. My first impression of Lyonne was from the 1998 sleeper hit, "Slums of Beverly Hills." Her breakout role as Vivian promised a b rik liant career, but her talent seems squandered on movies like "Detroit Rock City" (1999) and "AP2." The movie is just funny. What else do you really need Into the Woods By Lisa Lipsey Pride Opinion Editor Imagine having a witch for a neighbor. "Not too difficult," you may say, "I've lived nextdoor to a few." But what if the witch Was real and she put a curse on your house? To get the curse reversed, you need, " . one, the cow as white as milk, two, the slipper as pure as gold, three, the hair as yellow as corn, four, the cape as red as blood." So begins Steven Soundheim's fractured fairy tale, "Into the Woods." Sounds appropriate for kids, right? Wrong. It is kid appropriate, but the script to "Into the Woods" is full of adult humor, word play, sarcasm, wit and intellect. Some lines cracked up the kids in the audience, while other lines left the adults rolling in the aisles. Act one tells the story of the cursed Baker and his Wife, along with the classic Grimm fairy tales of "Jack in the Beanstalk" (with his white cow), "Cinderella" (with her golden slippers), "Little Red Ridinghood" (with her cape), and "Rapunzel" (with hair as < yellow as corn). But these familiar and enchanting stories end at intermission. Soundheim's musical comedy takes a slight dramatic turn in act two when he reveals what happens after ".. .they lived happily ever after." Please don't ask me which actor stands out the most, because after a few stressful days of college? If you are looking for a deep meaningful art film, you won't find it in "AP2," but if what you seek is just a good time and a lot of laughs, "American Pie 2 " is the best film for you this summer. "AP2" is playing now in theatres and is rated R for strong sexual content, crude humor, language and drinking. "Woods" was written for an ensemble cast. Vista's Moonlight Amphitheatre Company includes a dynamic cast from the Equity Actors and other local talent. As talented as the cast may be, it is the cleverness of Soundheim's lyrics in combination with a great musical score that stands out. If you liked the movie "Shrek" for its clever fairy tale humor, you'll love "Into the Woods." Much like an Andrew Lloyd Webber play, Soundheim's music and lyrics are complex and creative. The good news is that "Woods" doesn't keep to the classic musical love story tradition, like "Oklahoma" or "Carousel." In fact, the twists Top Left: The gang reunites for their first summer after college. Top Right: Natasha Lyonne reprises her role as Jessica. Far Left: Jim and his dad talk after the glue situation.

Suddenly I spotted a roadblock and armed men down the road. No, I was not dreaming. I slowed the car and the armed, unmasked men asked me to stop. They were Mexican soldiers asking us for our passports. Looking at the passport and then looking me in the face, a soldier asked me where we were going. "To Palenque," I replied. He asked me what was the purpose of our trip. At first I was going to tell him about Stephens and Catherwood but realized he had probably never heard about those two men. Instead I simply answered, "tourist," and that was enough to get a smile on his face, return the passports, and say "pasale " The road to Palenque was open. A windy road took us to a higher elevation and the terrain turned into a rain forest. Around us the sounds became more intense and we wondered whether they were made by birds or by monkeys.

I've been homeless for the last two months, just healed from a separated shoulder, and am starting yet another semester in a literature program that has very little literature in, it. This semester, there are still more questions than answers. But at least one answer remains constant: the ocean and its waves. I surf. It's difficult to describe the feelings of transcendence and peace that can be experienced while riding a wave. Surfing legend Tom Curren once described it as being born again; it makes life fresh and new. I think that while riding waves surfers combine their own finite existence with the oceans' eternal life. The act of riding a wave is an act of balance that goes beyond the athletic balance involved in the ride. I've joked that in our own naive way we are answering that age old philosophical question the Greeks posed long ago: Is life a state of being or becoming? As we ride each wave we experience a sensation of timelessness, Being. But a wave never stops moving and each ride is constantly Becoming. No, I'm not proposing a new religion, and hope that this doesn't come off as another shabby version of "pop" mysticism. Pop culture continues to invade surfing, and corporations, realizing the monetary value of surfing, have managed to infuse it with the usual dose of mediocrity and crass commercialism. And while, like many other surfers, I grimace at the droves of enthusiastic professionals and soccer moms swarming into the surf, I grudgingly hope that they too can capture their own piece of the surfing experience. I know that speaking so passionately of surfing in a public forum is ironic for someone who dislikes the intrusion of so many into his sanctuary. It would be best to say nothing, right? Then at least I'm not contributing to the already over-crowded conditions. r But isn't that part of the human predicament? ' So here I am, hoping that this foray "Into My Own" .will help you remember to find your "Own." In the Robert Frost poem that I took the title of this article from, Frost wishes that "those dark trees/ were, not as '"twixt the merest mask of gloom/ but stretched away unto the edge of doom."

The Pride is neither. We keep a decidely balanced political viewpoint and have a generous combination of staff writers, providing both liberal and conservative viewpoints. Some students mentioned their concern with the presence of a few biased articles in the newspaper. Mandy Ford wrote: "Instead of doing articles that give points of view from more than one party, you select the juicy side and run with it." She adds, " I hope that the paper will start printing more detailed and factual stories in the future." Another student, however, wrote that The Pride was interesting and factual. Some students were fond of the "Psyche Fairy," and the "Thoughts On" quotes. Many, however, felt that we should write on more controversial topics, write more sports articles, and that we should include editorials. Students also wrote that they were appreciative of the outfeach of The Pride, and that we kept students up-to-date on campus events. Some students felt there was too much focus on minority groups in certain articles, while other students appreciated the "diversity." Since we are students we are still in the process of learning journalistic style, but it is the purpose of The Pride to represent student voice, keep integrity of the truth, and to be unbiased and critical. We appreciate the comments given to us, and we have reviewed our mission statement and attempted to make some changes. A few students said they were unable or found it difficult to contact the editors and writers. The Pride office is located in Commons 2-201, around the corner from the Student Lounge.

Letter to the Editors A new group is forming for students in the MBA program. The group will be called the MBA Student Association and it will have many responsibilities. One of the responsibilities will be to serve as a liaison between MBA students and MBA front office. Any issues or concerns that MBA students may have will be communicated to the MBA front office. The group will also promote the MBA program at Cal State San Marcos at both the local level as well as at the national level. Already the MBA Student Association has had speakers come on campus and speak to cohorts on campus. This sort of interaction will prove value to both the community and the school. The MBA Student Association will also have a bi-monthly newsletter directed toward MBA students, faculty, and the business community. The first issue will come out the last week in August just in time for the incoming MBA students for this year. Going to school to receive an MBA is difficult enough as it is; the new group will hopefully ease some of the concerns that new students may have. Together we will make a difference. Albert Jimenez T hrow Your Gap if You Want to Graduate from Palomar! By LISA LIPSEY Pride Opinion Editor This y earV graduation may seem aways off, but a two-year plan is already well underway for CSUSM commencement ceremonies. Over the summer a decision was reached: the next two graduating classes will have their ceremony off-campus at one of two possible venues, Palomar Community College or the Del Mar F airgrounds. We currently have a c ontract' signed with Palomar. There are already several problems with this decision. Number one: we the students, who pay to be here, were not asked to vote upon this issue. D o they undertand that we are educated adults who have the ability to objectively look at the facts, make decisions and vote? The real reason seems to be that they know none of us would have voted to hold our graduation at Palomar. Much of the upper division student body already went through Palomar or anoth- er junior college, graduated, and transferred over to CSUSM (myself included). I am outraged that I will have earned and paid for a higher level of education only to possibly go back to my previous school for graduation. Hmm, did they check? Maybe it would be even cheaper to hold graduation at San Marcos High School. Number two: if the problem is space, couldn't they have come up with a better location? Oh, and here is a brilliant idea: hold graduation at CSUSM. We have about as much outdoor and auditorium space as Palomar does. Most students would rather see CSUSM hold several small ceremonies on campus than one or two off campous. Perhaps we should remind the powers that be this is OUR graduation. It is about our achievements as students. We work hard in order to walk across that stage. We should have the chance to vote on the location of OUR graduation. �Featuring local bands such as Time: 3-4 p.m. Handful and Agent 51. Includes Location: Career & Assessment Center BBQ and games.

Photo By: David Ruiz By: Kathleen Hash Pride Staff Writer By: Giovanni Ferrer Pride Staff Writer ; C SUSM S tudents to Vote on Student Union As student enrollment has increased, so has the need for more parking, Research studies, involving parking and enrollment, have been conducted at other California State Universities, and were used as a measuring tool to reflect the needs of CSUSM. One temporary solution this semester was stack parking. Many students feel that it has been a success, but worry that it is ending this week. Yesenia Castro used stack parking the first week of the semester and said "I felt a little worried about using it at first, but after parking a few times I became comfortable" She had heard other people express t heir fears upon getting items removed without their knowledge. She became reassured one day, when she found that she had left her checkbook in her car and nothing was touched. CSUSM In addition, Parking Services painted roughly sixty more stalls as a temporary solution to help alleviate some of the drudgery of parking. Do students really need a $7.4 million Student Union? The University Student Union Advisory Board (USUAB) thinks we do and they are asking students to help pay for it. Full time students at CSUSM • currently pay $20 per semester in student fees, while part time students pay only $10. On October 9 and 10 students will have the opportunity to vote on whether or not they are willing to increase their student fees to $50 (for full and part time students). The increase would take effect in Fall 2001 to help pay for the proposed building. I f the Student Union Fee According to Andy Schick, Parking Services, the 60 new stalls P a i n t e d i n parking lot " C" were the direct result of increased enrollment; contrary to rumor that it was due to frequent car accidents. Other parking changes include thirty minute parking, now located parking lot "E" in front of University Commons. Thirty minute parking was removed from parkin l o t g " c " t o m a l c e way for additional regular parking. from Stack Parking set to end Friday, September 22, but the number of students parking is not decreasing. Photo By: David Ruiz &i This Imhb Referendum passes, construction on The Clarke Field House/ University Student Union would begin in 2001 and could be completed as early as Spring 2003. The planned facility includes a gymnasium, a weight/exercise room, men's and women's locker rooms and a sports medicine facility. Conference rooms, student government offices and club meeting rooms are also a part of the proposed project. President Alex Gonzalez addressed A.S.I. at Friday's board meeting in an attempt to get ASI's blessing. ASI members seemed confident that their support would increase the referendum's chances of passing. "We need desperately a place for students to congregate," said President Gonzalez, "what we have here is a positive opportunity to build a Student Union." Hesitant to support the referendum at first, A.S.I, quickly turned the discussion to their concerns on future rent and utilities. Robin Milch, A.S.I. Executive Vice President of External Affairs, told the president "So far, the information given to ASI has been inaccurate." Milch wanted assurance from Gonzalez that A.S.I, would not end up "...getting burned with rent." A.S.I. was also concerned that not many students seemed to know about the referendum. In the end, however, A.S.I, voted unanimously to support the referendum. » Continued on Page 2 On Wednesday, September 20 starting 10:30am, California State University San Marcos is, once again, hosting its Health & Wellness Fair.

C SU B oard of T rustees A pproves L owering G raduation R equirements By: Jayne Braman Pride Staff This past July the CSU Board of Trustees approved lowering the minimum graduation requirement from 124 to 120 units. In a press release from CSU, Chancellor Charles Reed states that "This revision will help students graduate sooner. The new requirements are consistent with most universities in the nation and just make sense." Based on a normal course load of 15 units per semester, the 124-unit requirement leaves students in a four-year program, four units short of graduation. With implementation of the 120-unit requirement, Trustee Ralph Pesqueira believes that this policy will make it easier for students to graduate in fours years Or possibly even three years by attending school year round. Before celebrating, CSUSM students need to be aware that the lowering of units for graduation is a baseline from which all majors build upon. Many majors will still require more than the minimum 120 units required for graduation. Every academic program is reviewed on a five-year cycle. The review process allows departments to evaluate the number of units required in keeping students competitive not only with the demands of the job market, but also with students graduating from other universities in the same field. The fiveyear evaluation process means that gradual implementation of the 120-unit requirement will most likely not affect current students in the system. CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez stated "that majors exceeding the 120 unit minimum require approval before they can be implemented." Gonzalez went on to state that accountability of unit requirements is based on the fact that the CSU strives for a balance between training for the work force and educating wellrounded citizens.

However, as San Marcos resident and city council h opeful, Mike Sannella says, the most important decisions a re the ones being m ade in your local community. " I j oined t his race because I have the desire t o help build a healthy community," said Sannella. "My w ife and I are both four-year residents and alumnus of Cal State San Marcos.

A s November nears and the council race heats up, Sannella keeps h is cool character and h is message simple: San Marcos is one of San Diego's fastest growing communities and it needs a city council that will allow it t o continue to grow responsibly and correctly.

The plan that Sannella refers t o is a set of pro-growth ideals that he intends to apply in San Marcos if elected. O n the top of h is agenda for San Marcos, Sannella says he will address the community's growing t raffic concerns. " I am going to make it my top priority t o address t he t raffic issues w ithin our community," said Sannella. "Widening the roads would b e the most obvious option, however, that can't always b e done. Other options include encouraging carpooling, building more bike lanes and encouraging city b us use." The second area of concern for Sannella is San M arcos' stance on business. Realizing t he t ax base that retail provides, the candidate says that he will encourage prosperity by welcoming the addition of planned retail shops and centers. Some of t he projects that Sannella endorses include the "Heart of the City " plan for the 1,500 acre area surrounding Mike Harrod at Open Forum Photo by Enrique Refugio and weight rooms would b e an economical way f or students to relieve stress* " I pay $35 a month now at my g ym. This is only a $30 increase per semester, which, for me, is a huge decrease." Susanne Green, Executive Director of the USUAB, who also spoke to A.S.I., is hoping that students will take the initiative t o f ind out more about the referendum. The USUAB -has posted a link on CSUSM's homepage under the Events and Announcements section where students can get detailed information on t he referendum and the planned building. Mike Harrod is hoping that a lot of students will attend t his Thursday's open f orum, " I want to give people an opportunity to speak if they have heard about it and a chance t o hear if they h aven't" for City Council.

" Our university breeds diversity which is healthy for the community, and its p resence w ill help shape the f uture of g rowth in San Marcos." San M arcos' rapid g rowth has become a m ajor issue i n the eyes of some people (including opponent Cynthia Skovgard w ho is also r unning f or City Council) who feel that t he city is faf past the point of calling the development responsible growth.

Harrod hopes that the sun won't keep people away f rom the discussion of how they want t heir f unds to b e s pent."Students are paying these fees a nd this gives u s a chance to give them something tangible," says Harrod.

Mike Sannella W hile C alifornia residents f ind themselves facing Governor Gray Davis' deferred utility payment solution, f laws in California's energy deregulation system were investigated last week in San Diego during two federal hearings. Although no f irm conclusions have emerged f rom the hearings, other than the realization that residents are indeed paying too much for electricity (utility bills doubled and t ripled), there were a number of f ingers pointed: at SDG&E for not seeking the most a ffordable prices for consumers, at the Public Utilities Commission for not allowing SDG&E t o sign cheaper, long-term contract with suppliers, at suppliers for taking advantage of a f lawed and f ledging de-regulated energy purchasing system, and at the state's deregulation law itself, including the state legislators who-passed it. Investigations are still in progress. Meanwhile, the new proposition to r un high-voltage transmission power lines f rom Riverside county to San Diego county to compensate for the period of energy shortage before new generators are completed was p roposed b y SDG&E and the state's top-power managing agency (ISO). The plan would cost h undreds of millions of dollars and incur other environmental, residential, and aesthetic costs that have consumer groups, environmental regulators, and area o fficials and residents protesting and demanding to see proof that t his is the most effective solution. The high cost of living continues to beset residents at home, work, and now on the road. Recent rising gasoline p rices show no signs o f abating. Some attention has b een d eflected f rom deregulation t o international gasoline issues including OPEC production and the recent f uel crises in Europe. Local f uel averages are at $1.85 per gallon, among the highest in the country. N orth County Times analysts show t hat corporate gasoline interests in California are realizing nearrecord profit margins, with t his last f iscal quarter as one of the most profitable in history. Besides the rising p rice of crude oil, the increase of r efin- ery m argins, t he one component of the p rice equation the oil companies control a nd p rofit from, almost tripled what they were less t han a year ago. T he biggest gasoline providers in N orth County, Chevron, Exxon-Mobile, Amoco, Shell and Texaco, £re p rofiting double: f rom p rice h ikes on crude oil and increased r efinery margins. CSUSM student Peter K ramer, w ho alternates between driving a c ar and motorcycle to school, c ommented that, "These big corporations a re t rying to control oil production from g round t o tap, p ushing out the little guys w ho have neither wells or r efineries and have to buy gas wholesale at $2.09 per gallon." Interestingly, w hen Peter was asked whether riding h is motorcycle b enefited h im in terms of p arking and gas mileage he w as indecisive.

Renee Athletes Get ready at theStaring Line, at last weeks Aztec Invitational held at Balboa Park Photo by Steve Compian ishing in 29th place of 108 runners. Cara Rumble, who placed 30th, was one second behind Garritson, and was followed by MacDonald who was in the 38th spot. While the women's team trailed a bit, they also finished ahead of some good schools including USC, UCSD, Long Beach State, and Cal State Fullerton. The men's team, winners of last year's Aztec Invitational in the "Open Division," found that running in the "Invitational Division" was a much tougher task. By the time the men began the last race of the morning, the heat had. definitely become a factor in their performance. Scott cautioned his runners to abbreviate their normal warmup routine and to stay in the shade until race time. Brian Sullivan led the young squad in a race that ended with James Adams nearly collapsing f rom heat exhaustion. There were wet spots along the course, and by the time the men ran the fourth race, the footing became unstable in some areas along the course. This made for generally slow times for all the competitors. Sullivan came in 18th place with a time of 26 minutes and 50.5 seconds, followed by Adams in 44th place and Marcus Chandler in 68th place out of 150 runners. The men finished in 10th place out of the 15 team field. According to Assistant Coach Joe Keating, running against the big schools is necessary. "They have to compete against the stronger teams to get better," said Keating.

Don't try telling that to the CSUSM cross-country team. Visit the track around 3:30 and you'll find no individuals out there, rather everything (push-ups, sit-ups, and stretching exercises) is done as a team. An observer will notice that these athletes are having f un, even finding laughter while exerk rising in 90- degree heat. These runners are serious about their warm-ups, but they can also enjoy themselves. Watch the team just before the start of a race and you'll see them run to the starting line together. After the race is over, the words "cool down, cool down," can be heard, a reminder that these runners must gradually return their bodies to normal operating temperature. A group of racers will also jog off to facilitate the cool down, but always together. This is all part of Head Coach Steve Scott's model for success. In talking with Coach Scott, the moral of The Tortoise and The Hare comes to -mind—it's steady progress that will win the race. Scott's philosophy is to have his runners strong and running their best races at the national level in November. "We don't want them to peak too early," Scott said. It is a philosophy that paid off handsomely in 1999, the team's first year of competition. It's also the reason that athletes are transferring to CSUSM. Two of CSUSM's transfer students exemplify the highs and lows of choosing which college to attend, Senior James Adams attended high school at the foot of the Julian Mountains in Ramona. The Pride Sports He transferred to CSUSM from California Baptist University so that he could learn from Scott. "My high school coach and Scott have been friends for a while," said Adams, when asked how he learned of Coach Scott. Adams arrived with solid credentials, but felt that Coach Scott (who holds the American record in the mile run) would give him the best shot at helping him break the four-minute barrier in the mile run. Along with the "mountain man," came a CSUSM junior, Cara Rumble, who attended Orange Glen High School in Escondido. Rumble is another accomplished runner who felt that being coached by Steve Scott was too tempting to pass up. She left Concordia University in Irvine to attend CSUSM.

They enjoy being at CSUSM, but their initial attraction was to join a program coached by Scott. Adams and Rumble also joined the CSUSM cross-country team to have f un, run strong, and win—together. Cougars at the Irvine Invitational The team's first outing came when they participated in the Irvine Invitational on September 9. This was the chance to see the Cougars race against quality competition, including several of the top-ranked major college teams in the nation. How well did Coach Scott think his team performed?

There were some good individual performances that made Scott smile though. Senior transfer student James Adams covered the 5.3 mile course in 26 minutes and 46.5 seconds, good enough for 19th place in a field of 91runners. Next was Brian Sullivan in 34th place, followed by Marcus Chandler in the 44th position. CSUSM finished sixth out of the nine teams in the men's category. The lady Cougars looked very strong in running the 5K distance. Led by junior transfer student Cara Rumble's 23rd place finish (19 minutes, 37.5 seconds) and closely followed by Heather Garritson's 27th place (19 minutes, 46.9 seconds), they were able to finish in 7th place overall out of eleven teams. In the women's 3.1 mile race, four of the top five spots were won by nationally-ranked NCAA teams. Other women placing for CSUSM were Renee MacDonald in 42nd place, Felisha Mariscal 63rd, Camille Wilborn 75th , and Mariel Holcomb in the 84th position. CSUSM Golf "Tees Up" for New Season By: Steve Compian Pride Staff Writer The Cal State San Marcos Golf team is ready to tee up for the new season. Coach Fred Hanover and his team travel to Belton, Texas this week to compete in the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor Tournament. The five man, five woman team is looking to continue the winning ways established by last year's team. In only its second season of competition, CSUSM's men's golf team finished in 11th place and the women finished 8th among all NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) schools. While winning on the college level is new to his team, it is not a new experience for Coach Hanover. Hanover twice led Cal State San Bernardino to third place finishes in the NCAA Division II Tournament. His formula for success involves recruiting players who know more than just how to swing a club. Hanover expects his athletes to be competitive academically as well as physically, thus allowing him to focus on coaching them and not worrying about whether they will be eligible to play. Hanover also looks for a competitive spirit in all of his players. Three of the new recruits for the team include Tony Sellers, a transfer from Pima Community College, and freshmen Nick Mitchell from De La Salle High School in Fairfield, and Jack Spreng from St. Maria Goretti High School in Maryland. Hanover fans their competitive fires by making them try out for the team, and that's just the beginning. Since only five players per team (women and men) can travel to tournaments, his linksters have to battle each other for the right to represent CSUSM; that competition is extremely close this year. "It's coming right down to the wire," said Hanover. How does this year's tearh look? Hanover believes that they will be solid again. "It'll take a little time to develop, but by the end of the season, we should be right up there,"said Hanover. Evaluating individuals is a more difficult matter right now, "At this point I wouldn't be able to 29-31, and then to Santa Clara say, but I'll know after the first University from November 5-7. tourney," added the coach. This first tournament for the year at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, will offer Hanover the perfect opportunity to see how his team reacts to prime competition. The Texas hosts are expecting to have another fine season. Last year Mary HardinBaylor's women's team won the NAIA national championship, and their men's team has improved greatly. The tourney also attracts several of the state's best small college teams.

Marianne McDonald's modern adaptation of The Trojan Women opened on Sunday, September 3, at The Old Globe Theater in front of a f ull house. Euripides, a Greek dramatist, wrote the original play by the same name. Euripides' play tells the story of the fall of Ancient Troy to the Greeks in 416 BC. However, McDonald's modern adaptation, directed by Seret Scott, takes a look at war from a different perspective. Talk of smart bombs and SCUD missiles are some of the clues as to the direction of changes from the original text. et he Best Women GEWTOH USED N L ife a t T he O ld G lobe The psychological effects of the play are fascinating as the waning of helicopters never stops while soldiers dressed completely in camouflage march across the stage. The women in the war camp wear garments of thick layers of cloth with robes, to small tops and long skirts. The costumes play an enormous role in delivering the play's Mm message. Vietnam was never far from my mind with two of the female characters dressed as Vietnamese prostitutes. The female characters display nudity that I did not find offensive, but I would not call it artistically subtle either.

Orman Pride Staff Writer On Saturday, September 16, approximately 2000 people crowded into a small, oak-filled natural amphitheater to attend the first day of the two-day Julian Bluegrass Festival. With performances by four remarkably talented bluegrass bands and the combination of warm, sunny weather in the mountains, the festival forced a grin upon every attendee's face, merely proving Steve Martin's infamous comment, "Hell, it becomes pretty difficult to feel teary-eyed listening t o banjo music." The first day of the festival began with an assortment of competitions from beginning banjo to professional fiddle. Probably the highlight of the competition occurred when an eight-year-old girl performed the ubiquitous Turkey in the Straw. Most of the spectators were in awe of the youngster's performance, not because of her age and relaxed presence, but because she revealed the spirit of the festival: the timelessness of bluegrass music. The genre has an unknown element that becomes addictive, and forces the performer or listener to consistently examine the ageless art form. After the competitions concluded several bands performed, including Highway 52, Silverado, and Lost Highway. Conspicuously talented, none of the acts created the fervor or enjoyment spawned by the Laurel Canyon Ramblers This particular band—Herb Pederson on banjo, Michael Witcher on dobro, Kenny Blackwell on mandolin, Bill Bryson on bass, and Roger Reed on guitar—mixed the spirit of rock and roll into bluegrass. Flying through various standards and numerous originals, Laurel Canyon Ramblers eventually played gospel, rock, reggae and straightforward bluegrass songs; making the band enormously different from most of the acts performing at the festival, whom never stray away from certain established boundaries of traditional bluegrass. Eloquently mixing talented musicianship with stellar three-part harmonies, the Laurel Canyon Ramblers literally stole the show at the first day of the Julian Bluegrass Festival. Interestingly, maybe because the Laurel Canyon Ramblers were the major act for the bluegrass festival's first day, many in the crowd left the amphitheater after their performance and meandered through the parking lot, where stunning players gathered in circles to jam. No pedestrian with an instru- ment case becomes safe wandering through the crowd of players: even yours truly became involved in a humorous version of Bill Monroe's Working On a Building, complete with vocals and jaw-dropping banjo playing by two teenagers. After watching several groups perform, one can become mesmerized by the technical ability exhibited by so many people. Whether banjo, fiddle, bass, guitar, or mandolins, a plethora of great, obscure performers displayed their skills. Upon leaving at six o'clock in the evening,T realized the depth that music is capable of. Most of the music featured on assorted radio-stations only equals one percent of the total music created in our world. Interestingly, bluegrass may be one of many forms that will never die and will continue to gather listeners searching for a simple form of music, which, like the wind, carries the thoughts and feelings of lost years. Bluegrass music has a long history, beginning with the music of Scotland and Ireland circa 1600. As the genre evolved, bluegrass added elements of jazz, blues, and hillbilly mountain music. While the common vision by society concerning bluegrass originated from the banjo-playing boy in "Deliverance," the music has more sophistication and certainly a higher technical fortitude than most musical genres. At one moment a bluegrass group may sing a gospel number like I Hear a Voice Calling and then immediately launch into a breakneck version of the popular fiddle tune Red Haired Boy; playing as fast as many punk bands. Such a variety of material and speed within the idiom makes bluegrass enjoyable for those who love music. r- express two very different types of nakedness. The entire production seemed to flow nicely, but each of the characters had a moment when his or her performance was unbelievable. I. left the theater anxious to get to the ladies room to hear other people talk about what they had seen, yet nobody talked about it. It may have been mediocre direction or an awkward script, but there was something that really held the play back from being great. Yet, I cannot say that I did not enjoy the performance.

Candide: B ernstein's C omic O pera By: Nathan Fields Pride Staff Writer I have never seen opera so socially critical while retaining genuinely contagious humor. Candid in its shocking comedy and flaunting offenses against everyone who matters, Leonard Bernstein's operatic adaptation of Voltaire's satiric and philosophically profound novel, Candide, inspires ironic and disturbing Pulp-Fiction-tyye laughter. A pleasing combination of Scenefrom Candide flawless orchestration, talented actors and singers, and lively stage production, this comic opera, playing the Casa Del Prado Theater in Balboa Park, offers Bernstein's successful opera in the 100th anniversary year of its composer's life. Unlike most romantically nauseating operas, this sardonic tale of a young man's mid-eighteenth-century journey through Germany, Spain, Turkey, France, colonial South America, and Italy, » Continued on pg 6 Photo courtesy of the Candide website �6 Tuesday, September 19, 2000 Candide » Continued from Page 5 chronicles his process of experientially unlearning the pretentious and naive bourgeois philosophies of popular enlightenment thinkers. Scenes of warfare, slavery, religious hypocrisy, murder, violent rape, sexually transmitted diseases, large-scale misogyny and racism may make some , viewers consider the deeper philosophical implications of Voltaire's poker-faced comedy as social analysis. On the surface a witty, bantering tale of misadventure, Candide reveals itself to actually be a . savage, satiric thrust at the philosophy of "Optimism" (the play's alternate title); which proclaims that nationwide disasters and individual sufferings are both just part of a cosmic plan that is essentially good. Voltaire was not easily prepared to excuse the world's vices quite so easily, nor would he encourage people to accept evil as fate without trying to prevent it or fight it. Candide also represents curiously accurate, yet damaging caricatures of the European intelligencia, the Catholic Church, Judaism, Women, Men, Europeans, royalty, and everyone else. Although published in 1759, the contemporary applications of Candide seem very close at hand. In a time where there seems to be an abundance of pseudo:philosophical explanations for manmade injustice and intellectual copout acquiescence disguised as wisdom, Candide seems to shout, "Action is necessary! All is not well, but all things can be bettered!" and then laugh at its own candidness. If you like opera, see Candide. If you don't like opera, see Candide. This comic opera ends next weekend. Remaining performances are Friday, September 22 at 8pm, Saturday, September 23 at 2pm, and Sunday, September 23 at 2pm. Candide is performed at the Casa Del Prado Theater in Balboa Park.

"After this, anything is possible," states Kevin Jordan, director of Smiling Fish and Goat on Fire. This movie, being one of the greatest romantic comedies released this year, made with a budget of only $40,000. The film stars real-life brothers, Derick Martini (Chris), and Steven Martini (Tony), as brothers helping each other on their way to finding true love. When they were born, their half Native-American grandmother nicknamed free-spirited Tony as Smiling Fish and serious Chris as Goat on Fire. After their parents die on the 405 freeway, Chris raises Tony in their impoverished house in Los Angeles. Tony is a fun-loving actor who enjoys many women that come his way, especially his pseudo-girlfriend, who runs screaming out of the house after finding a ribbed condom that she did not buy him. Later he meets a single mom (played by Christa Miller from The Drew Carey Show), who fate seems to destine as his true love. Chris, Tony's brother, works as an accountant and is trying to salvage a dead-end relationship with his high school sweetheart Alison (played by Amy Hathaway). Interwoven into the comedy is a beautiful story about Clive Henderson, that is based on a real movie sound man that director Kevin Jordan met. Clive (brilliantly performed by Bill Henderson) is a ninety-year-old At the pre-screening of Smiling Fish and Goat on Fire in Hillcrest Thursday night, director Kevin Jordan, and stars Derick and Steven Martini, and Bill Henderson discussed the f ilm with the audience.

Although several scenes between the brothers have lulls in the conversation, it works for the film by giving the audience a sense of reality in their relationship. ning of movie theatres, they called this barnstorming." After winning the Toronto Film Festival Award and Best Film at the Milan Film festival, the trio (Jordan and Martini Brothers) signed a deal for two more films with much larger budgets. The key to making this film work with a small budget was trying to get as much as possible for free, and "get a lot of favors," according to Derick Martini. The three grew up together in New York, and "we really get each other," states Steven Martini. This made a world of difference on the set because there were no creative differences and the dynamics of the set remained very professional but everyone had a real sense of trust. Henderson piped in by stating that it also helped to have "this director [that] loves actors.'' When asked how much money they will make on this film, Jordan jokingly said, "at least fourteen dollars." One member of the audience asked the filmmakers, "What motivated them to write this script?" Derick stated, it is a story they wanted to tell and wanted to have as a reflection of true life; they even went so far as to say that Steven was really hit in the head with a toaster (just as depicted in the film). Another audience member asked, "Since these characters' experiences are similar to your true-life experiences, how many scenes are ad-libbed or did you follow the script?" The Martini brothers chuckled, and Derick replied, "a lot of it was improvisational, but they knew what we had to get out of each scene." One woman came up to Derick after the discussion, and with a concerned look, asked if their parents were still living. Martini immediately responded, "Oh yes, they are quite alive... divorced...but still good friends. We had to take a lot of flack for killing them off in the film though." Smiling Fish and Goat on Fire opened in theatres on September 15, and is playing exclusively in Hillcrest Landmark Theatres. This movie marks Kevin Jordan's directorial debut; he is also a co-writer with life-long friends, the Martini brothers. The f ilm is 90 minutes long and is rated R.

Almost Famous is Crowe's f irst movie since his blockbuster hit Jerry Maguire, and it proves t o be a captivating, intelligently written script f ull of laughs and tears. This semi-autobiographical f ilm was written during a pivotal time in the history of rock and roll. Crowe sets his story in 1973, in San Diego, and chronicles the f unny and often poignant coming of age of 15-year-old William Miller, whose intelligence and genuine enthusiasm lands him the gig of a lifetime. Like his young protagonist, Crowe also got his start in journalism when he landed his first j ob at the age of 15 as a journalist for Rolling Stone Magazine. One of Crowe's most i nfluential friends and mentors was the legendary rock critic Lester Bang, whose character offers advice and friendly words of experience to the main character William. While still in his teens, Crowe, an avid music f an, profiled many of the era's most Scene from Almost Famous influential artists and toured with bands across the U.S. "I didn't want it to be like some of those semi-autobiographical stories that glorify the writer because the truth is* I never felt like the center of any room I was in at the time. I was an observer. That's what the character of William Miller is—he's an observer." William is befriended by his idol, Lester Bangs (played by Philip Seymour Hoffman from Boogie Nights) and l ands his first assignment, an interview with Black Sabbath. At the concert, he also befriends the up-and-coming fictional band, Stillwater^ led by the charismatic lead guitarist, Russell Hammond (Billy Crudup), and lead singer Jeff Bebe (Jason Lee). William also meets a group who call themselves the "Band Aids," led by the beautiful and bewitching Penny Lane (Kate Hudson). When Rolling Stone offers William a huge opportunity to write a cover story of Stillwater, he joins the tour, appropriately titled "Almost Sunny Day Real Estate Releases The Rising By: Adam Bailey Pride Staff Writer Sunny Day Real Estate falls off pace with their fourth and latest album, The Rising Tide.

From the very moment fans bring this CD home, open it up, and read the liner notes, they will notice the difference right away. They will notice a much more complex set of word arrangements and a greater emphasis being placed upon the words of each song as the catalyst for this album's music. A change that is noble, but ultimately falls short of the intended result when listening to the finished musical product.

However, a fter listening to the first two songs on the album, the mode takes an almost 180-degree turn. The album f rom the third selection on is much more complex, revealing a much more heavily produced and textured sound. A sound that works some of the time, like the singles Rain Song or Faces in Disguise. Both songs invoke some passion with soulful melodies and the bowstrings' melancholy sound.

Her relentless advice and presence scares everyone she comes in contact with. "Don't do d rugs!" Elaine says redundantly. Soon William becomes part of the inner circle of the band he idolizes, disregarding the caution from his mother and Lester Bangs who warn him not to befriend the bands. William comes of age as he observes the chaos and on-the- INSURANCE MUTUAL FUND5 road lifestyle of Stillwater. The friendships that William makes are genuine^ and heartfelt as he also falls hard for Penny Lane, the passionate and adoring fan. William is soon f aced with the task of honest and unmerciful journalism as he writes the cover story for Rolling Stone. Confused and anxious, William sets out to tell the truth about the band and its members who are now his friends. I laughed throughout the entire movie and felt an instant connection with the characters. Everyone will be entertained and mesmerized with this film and its characters. The movie's soundtrack includes compositions by Peter Frampton and Nancy Wilson (a member of the band Heart and who is also Crowe's wife). Interlaced with blasts of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and other classic rock bands, the music is brilliant. Almost Famous is now playing at theaters, and I recommend this f ilm to everyone. The movie is rated R because of brief nudity, drug scenes, and language. Almost Famous is a mustsee movie that will turn into a rock-n-roll classic and is one movie I can't wait to buy on DVD.

By Steve Compian Pride Staff Writer What happened if there was an election and no one voted? With the general election scheduled for November, I decided to ponder the question. Knowing the history of voter participation in this country, when barely sixty per cent of all eligible voters who actually cast a ballot constitute a high water mark, I wanted to ask, "What would happen if no one voted?" I understand that this is a purely hypothetical question, but if we can struggle to understand why one person gets booted off of Survivor Island or why the San Diego Chargers can't outscore the San Diego Padres then it may be a question worth pondering. Here's a scenario: The general election to decide the next President of the United States has just occurred and no one voted. The power of voter enthusiasm has waned into blackout proportions. We saw the names of all the candidates and decided that they sucked, so we just bailed out of the voting process all together. What would occur? Letter to the Editors I want to take this opportunity to thank the Pride, in particular Nicole Moreno for the front page article of the Pride titled, "What about the Women? This is truly a success story. This week the list went from having 6 to 19 women! I am excited to have such a good response! The women will be attending a team meeting sometime next week. They will each receive phone calls to coordinate the meeting.

Our constitution must address this somehow. I didn't really know the answer, so I decided to engage the help of my fellow students. should a person who wasn't popular enough to swing one popular vote be President?) Most of them began with the predictable, "It would never happen." The question is not if it will happen, but rather what are the ramifications of such an event occurring? It would also be fair to clarify that this is not a scientific poll. It falls more into the "Daddy what i f..." category. Wendy (Sociology Major): "I don't know, maybe they'd have to vote again." Here are the responses of students I spoke to at the Dome: George (Business Major): "Wouldn't Clinton just stay President? (No, he's at the end of two terms). Ryan (Mathematics Major): "Gore would automatically become President, because he's the current Vice President." (Hmmm. Interesting thought, but Diana (Part-time Student): "That's why we have an Electoral College." (O k. we have an Electoral College and then what?) No response. Patricia (Education Major): "Maybe they'd have to do it [election] over?" Rachel (Women's Studies): "No idea." It's probably not unusual that so many of us don't have a clue as to what would happen, because the chances of such an event ever occurring is so remote that it is regarded as pure fiction. Could it be, however, that we have never given the topic much thought because there is always the security of believing that someone else will vote? And what if that mysterious someone doesn't do what we had assumed? Then, where would that leave us? The Pride New Budget Gets Academic Year Off to Good Start By Dr. Charles B. Reed Chancellor, California State University I want to take this opportunity to welcome all of you to a new academic year at the California State University, especially those students who have enrolled at a CSU campus for the first time this fall. We are very proud to have all of you as members of the CSU family. I know that in a place as large as the 23-campus CSU system, it can be difficult to find up-todate information about our system. That's why I hope that occasional columns like these can provide you with some of this important information. I'm proud to report that our year is off to a good start already, thanks to a landmark budget signed by Gov. Davis over the summer. This is one of the best budgets the CSU has ever seen. Our total general fund budget, for 2000/01 is approximately $2.5 billion; and the general fund increase totals $333.7 million, our largest increase ever. The governor and the legislature have also passed new legislation to increase financial aid for many more students in California next year. What does this mean for the CSU? It means that our top two priorities — access for students and compensation for employees — will be funded as follows: Access — The budget includes a $73.1 million general fund increase to accommodate the 12,577 additional full-time equivalent students expected to enroll during this academic year. Our system is expected to continue to grow at this incredible pace, taking on a total of about 130,000 new students by 2010. Compensation — The budget includes $113.2 million for a six percent compensation pool for all CSU employees. This continues to help close the faculty salary gap. In addition, the budget includes funds for year-round operations, community service learning, CSU Channel Islands, CSU Stanislaus Stockton Center, the Coachella Valley Center of CSU San Bernardino, and technology training for teachers. It also supports the California Workforce Initiative, which funds high-cost programs in such fields as nursing, agriculture, engineering, computer science, and the biological sciences. This budget will allow us to continue to uphold our priorities of serving students, assisting the public schools, improving and expanding teacher preparation, eliminating the need for remedial education, and making the most of new advances in technology. It will also allow us to add a new focus on preparing students for the workforce of California. If you would like to learn more about our budget, you can read about it on our web site at http:// www.calstate.edu/tier3/PubAffairs/ news/budget2000.html. Or for more general information about the system, you can go directly to our home page, www.calstate.edu. I wish you best of luck in your studies, and I look forward to visiting each of your campuses in the coming academic year. C liches - Paradoxes of C onventional W isdom By: Bryan Clark Pride Staff Writer I'm tired of them. I'm tired of hearing them all the time. People too often use them without knowing what they mean. I'm talking about cliches. Far too often people cling to the "conventional wisdom" of cliches. But most people don't realize that cliches, while meant to be uplifting and truthful, constantly contradict themselves. I have a quick list of cliches that really capture the need for truth and inspiration, yet when presented with others, unfortunately cancel out the message. Enjoy: "Always make a good first impression" versus "Never judge a book by its cover". "Life is hard" versus "It's as easy as 1-2-3". "Never give up" versus "If you can't beat them, join them". now or never". "We always hurt the ones we love". "Expect great things" versus "Better safe than sorry" versus "Don't count your chickens until "Risking life and limb". they've hatched". "Better late than never" versus "Don't give up your day job" "Time is of the essence". versus "Follow your dreams". "Two wrongs don't make a right" "The best things in life are f ree" versus "Who's to say what is versus "Nothing is free in life". right or wrong?" "Life is short" versus "Live long "Love hurts" versus "No pain, and prosper". no gain." "Life will get better as you go "Free love" versus "It's a labor -on" versus "When it rains, it of love". pours". "There is safety in numbers" "There is no time like the pres- versus "Your better off alone". ent" versus "Time will tell". "Its hope against hope" versus "Take it one step at a time" "When worse comes to worse". versus "It's all or nothing", "Never look a gift horse in the "All good things come to those mouth" versus "Look before you who wait" versus "Don't hesitate leap". or all is lost". "Being in love means never hav"Bide your time" versus "It's ing to say you're sorry" versus HAVE AN OPINION? SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITORS TO "Crime doesn't pay" versus "Illgotten gains". So the next time someone tries to give you some "conventional wisdom", don't take it. Do the opposite and see what happens. Look the g ift horse in the mouth; see if it has cavities. If someone tells you, "Don't worry be h appy" immediately scream at them and freak the hell out! Crime doesn't pay? There are more criminals t han days of the year! If they tell you everything is going to be all right, go home, pack your things, and move far, FAR away because it won't be all right for a very, very long time. I guess I could be overreacting to all these conflicting and I should take it with a grain of salt, but maybe I should just stand up and face the facts.

I guess it's just a CYA thing (That's "Cover Your A ssef's for those who don't know) . In By: Steve Kerrin anyone complains, we have to be able to say, "The students voted on it, it wasn't done without their approval." I really don't think anyone should complain. Consider how cheap it is to go to school here compared to anywhere else locally. Hiition is less than $900/semester. Books cost about the same as anywhere else. We don't have to burn a tank of gas every day driving through freeways as congested as 15, 8, and 5. We all have a free exercise program too, just park in the lower lots off Barham and walk up the stairs every day. When you put all that together, along with the convenience factor of having a university in North County where most CSUSM students live, you see we have a great deal going here. Even if we do have to pay another $30/semester in Student Union fees, it still beats the crap out on t he S tudent Union Fee R eferendum Vote No Actually, Stephen most of what you said was true— the truth as we have all been led to absorb it. But in college By: Steve Compian we're supposed to look beyond the regurgitated, spoon-fed party line, and ask the hard questions in order to unveil t he truth. The issue here isn't about buying new jock straps for the team or painting a mural on the side of a building. It's about spending money. When you're old enough and have dolled-out enough taxes to pay for every imaginable outhouse ever built, maybe you'll be in a better position to understand what it is I have to say. We really need to think about what it is we're going to do. I'm not against building or growth, but before people go to the polls, we need to clarify a few things. First, the increase in student fees is not easily reversible. As soon as the university gets the yea vote, those bulldozers that we've been seeing around campus are going to dig some holes. Also, the fee increase will not decrease after the structure is paid for; it will remain FOREVER, except when it is scheduled to increase again. If it doesn't pass, we can always try again later. Second, why are they calling this the on t he S tudent Union Fee R eferendum The Pride Co-Editor Co-Editor Graduate Intern Melanie Addington Victoria B. Segall Jayne Braman Faculty Advisor Madeleine F. Marshall All opinions and letters to the editor, published in The Pride, represent the opinions o f the author, and do not necessarily represent the v iews o f The Pride, or o f California State University San Marcos. Unsigned editorials represent the majority opinion o f The Pride editorial board. of dealing with SDSU. It will still be only $50. SDSU students pay $142. I hear people saying, "Well if it's so cheap why would we want to make it more expensive?" Let me ask these people this: Did you really think that students on a new, growing campus wouldn't be hit up for fee increases at some point? I would accuse anyone who didn't think that would happen of being naive. It's inevitable that we would have to foot the bill for some things. The State would never pay for every amenity that we students want. Don't worry if money's tight and you're getting financial aid. The fee increase gets factored into that equation. For the rest of us, saving $30/semester to make up for the difference is not so tough. Just cut that $3 cup of coffee out of your morning ritual one day a week. Or the next time someone asks you "Do you want fries with that?" just say, "No." Maybe stick to domestic beer instead of import. Wait, nevermind, we have to draw the line somewhere. The point is, $30 for something that will make life better for all concerned is a bill worth paying. And if future students are really pissed off that we did this to them, they can vote to reverse it. Somehow, I don't think they will. "Fieldhouse/Student Union?" Is it descriptive of its use or is it because officials felt that we wouldn't cough up the dough for a field house, so they got the idea that setting aside space for a student union would make it sell better? If we're going to pay for a gym that can serve the purpose of a student union and double as a church on Sunday, fine. Just tell us that we're voting on a gym. Finally, we need to think about all those students who will follow us later. These fee increases will continue to rise. What about tuition? That's a different issue and comes under a different account. If tuition increases, they won't be able to cry about fees because we voted for it. Times are good right now. There is plenty of money via jobs, scholarships, grants, and cheap loans. But when the economy goes b&d, as it does occasionally, all that money will dry up and the students that follow may not be able to afford school then, making the building of a structure now a moot point. Again, I am not opposed to construction, expansion, or looking towards the future. What I feel strongly about is that people need to ask the university the hard questions before voting. Everyone should vote. But if the only decision that we can make is an uninformed one, then the foundation that we lay today may not support the future that we seek to build for tomorrow.

New Glub At CSUSM By: Rachael Jenkins There is a new club on campus for students who wish to become teachers. The Future Educators Club is designed to inform students about applying fer the credential program here at Cal State San Marcos. Jennifer Moon is the President of FEC this year. She states, "I'm excited to have such a club on campus to help students be more prepared for the credential program by informing members of what's needed to be accepted into the credential program as well as a place to meet future colleagues." organizing a donation drive for books, clothing, and toys. Former President of FEC, Raeanna Wertz began the Future Educators Club at Mira Costa College. When Raeanna transferred to CSUSM she carried the FEC project with her. "I realized that Jo Dube, Jennifer Moon and myself had to do something," states Raetfnna. "We spoke with different people on campus, telling them about our idea. We took out the paperwork from ASI and SRL and then the College of Arts and Sciences approached us. They had lost a large part of their advising department and needed to find a way to pass information to the students and we were looking for a place to connect with; so it was a match made in heaven." FEC's plans for this academic year include motivational speakers, hosting a CPR class for students to become certified at a discount, and t o participate in campus events.

Ideally new players would be freshmen or sophomores so that they can stay with the team and carry on a history t o future players. CSUSM has not had a women's soccer team until this year.

Instead of reconfiguration, Academic Computing Services opted for a change in procedure, choosing WebMail (by Infinite Technologies). But is WebMail a step ahead? The new version of Netscape Navigator (Version 6) (http://www.netscape.com) has many new features; such as Mail, Web Editor, Browser, Multimedia, and Newsgroups. Generally speaking, Netscape is a powerhouse of a program. Academic Computing Services considered the new version of Netscape Navigator but had to yield to WebMail. Timing and simplicity were major factors for choosing WebMail.

There are a few too many of these diner scenes and they soon become redundant. There is less substance in the stories being told than there is the incessant attempt to squeeze in as many different references about having sex as possible. Whipped is a comedic film about sex and relationships. It takes a look into the lives of three ex-college roommates and best friends who are still commitment-shy but always ready to swap stories about their latest conquests. There is Zeke, the self-proclaimed "East Coast Enigma," who believes his appeal comes from projecting a certain mystery that simply leaves the ladies wanting more. Into the picture enters Mia (played by Amanda Peet), coincidentally, the object of all their desires. All three guys fall in love with her and the token boy brawling ensues. Mia has the men whipped, so to speak, as they swallow their bachelor mindsets. Brad is a jocular, selfobsessed, "Wall Street guy" who, when he stops "closing deals" at work, is still "closing deals" in other regards. Jonathan doesn't possess the same prowess as the other two, but his libido is just as high. His outlet, though, is more of the self-gratifying sort. His stories involve imaginary girls with names similar to body lotion brands—like Nivea, Lubriderma, or Vaselina.

Niarse Throughout the film, all the talk about "stuffing, railing, sacking," hot chicks was over done and not one clever line was ever uttered. Any laughs to be had came from tried and true raunch and bathroom humor. This prevented Whipped from being viewed anywhere beyond a shallow point. Whipped is rated R and is now playing.

In the four centuries since it was first staged, William Shakespeare's tragic story of an emotionally troubled college student who procrastinates completing his assignment remains fascinating in its archetypal relevance.

I never noticed the small paintings on the wall. t The California Center for the Arts, Escondido presents 20 Southern Californian artists in an exhibit titled "The Next Wave." The featured artists live and work within the coastal communities of Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and San Diego.

Nice concept, I guess. But I was busy trying to get classes, my permit-not because I didn't appreciate it." (Geoffrey Gordon) "Yes it did. The different clubs the campus offers, I was interested in the German Club, M.E.C.h.a., and the International Club." (Maria Jose) Another local artist I found interesting was Linda Besemer and her brightly colored, abstract works that defy the traditional framed oil on canvas. Besemer's technique involves working backwards from the surface of sheets of plexiglas using acrylic strips. As she takes away the layers, Besemer is left with an amazing array of colors and shine. Her art gently folds over aluminum rods hung from the wall shining with spectacular colors of blues, reds, yellows and pinks. Hundreds of colors perfectly aligned with the panes and hairs of the glass. p As I continued through the rooms, I came upon a display by Judi Russell, a Los Angeles-based photographer. Russell's specially-commissioned portraits of each artist and brief statements about their work allowed me to understand their intensions and perspectives. "The Next Wave" runs through September 10 and admission is $3.00 for CSUSM students. — Academic Bulletin — W ould y ou like to nominate a professor for the H arry Brakebill Distinguished P rofessor A ward?

Against the Raiders' Raiders. How can a fan not RETIREMENT INSURANCE MUTUAL FUNDS TRUST SERVICES TUITION FINANCING be excited? Here is how: Leaf proved he has not changed much since his debut season in the Chargers' opener against the hated Oakland Raiders on Sunday. Leaf is on pace to break his lofty personal record of 15 interceptions in 9 games after he threw 3 passes to the Raiders on Sunday. He also managed to complete only 17 of 39 passes for a meager 180 yards. Although he threw only three interceptions during the preseason, Leaf did not look good. He missed badly when he missed and he fumbled too often. Ryan Leaf had a dreadful rookie year in 1998 when he threw 15 interceptions and only 2 touchdowns. When he was finally benched in game 9, he had a league-worst 39.0-passer rating. The numbers would not be so bad for a rookie quarterback drafted in the late rounds. Leaf, however, is a third-year player (sort of) drafted number 2 in the draft before the 1998 season. Moses Moreno, the hometown favorite, would be a much better choice. He has an incredible arm that looked good in the preseason, and the fans love him, as he graduated from high school in San Diego. Why is TIAA-CREF the #1 choice nationwide? The HAA-CREF Advantage.

Thefts Over Summer By: Melanie Addington PRIDE EDITOR Over the summer, California State University San Marcos experienced a series of thefts that occurred from May 3 to June 6, in Founder's Plaza, University Hall, Craven Hall, an£Science Hall. According to Chief Thomas Schultheis, "the individual entered an unoccupied office or room and removed the cash from unattended purses and wallets. This individual looked through desks and file cabinet drawers, where most people keep their purses and other valuables." 4 No further thefts have been reported. Chief Schultheis states that the Campus Police increased foot patrols around the areas and developed a profile on the individual. Schultheis believes the individual stopped once he/she was aware of the profile developed by the campus police. There have not been many thefts on campus in the past. Schultheis states that this was a "one time series," but as a campus grows, "individuals take advantage of the * opportunities" If you have any questions, please contact Officer Mike O'Deane at 750-4567, or visit the University Police website at http:// www.csusm.edu/public_safety.

Segall PRIDE EDITOR "Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, and Twentieth C entury Mexican A rt" will be on exhibit t hrough Monday, September 4, at the San Diego Museum of Contemporary A rt in La Jolla. Well-known paintings on display include Frida K ahlo's Autorretrato con monos (Selfportrait with Monkeys) and Diego Rivera's Vendedora de alcatraces (Calla Lily Vendor). Additional works by K ahlo include Autorretrato con collar (Self-portrait with Necklace) and—unlike her more " normal" paintings on display at the museum—her surreal painting, El abrazo de amor del universo, la tierra (Mexico) Diego, yo y el senor Xolotl (The Love Embrace of the Universe, the Earth (Mexico) Diego, I and Senor Xolotl). In addition to paintings, lithographs entitled Acuarelas, by Kahlo's husband—renowned painter and muralist—Diego Rivera, are on display. The lithographs are watercolor sketches that portray Rivera's views of country living in Mexico. _ Tuesday, August 29,20G0 5 Sinead O'Connor's L atest Album H as Faith and Courage By: Melanie Addington PRIDE EDITOR Sinead O 'Connor's sixth album, Faith and Courage, continues her tradition of wistful ballads with two new, beautiful songs, "Jealous" and " The State I 'm In." Like her 1990 hit, "Nothing Compares to U," the songs r eflect on lost love and the pain of healing a fter a breakup. fMoti&S* "Dancing Lessons" is the only song on the album mixed and produced by Wyclef Jean, formally a member of the now d efunct Fugees, who is set t o release his second independent album this week. Although the sound of "Dancing Lessons" is a bit bubblegum, the beat is catchy and the lyrics inspire romantic daydreams. However, the remaining songs on th& album r eflect a mature, strong, and independent woman who seems to have f inally found an inner peace. In the song, " The Lamb's Book of Life," Sinead atones for her angrier days. She sings, " I know that I have done many things to give you reason not t o listen t o me/but if you knew me maybe you would understand me/words can't express how sorry I am." On the edge of preaching she continues, " If people j ust believed enough in God to pray/the world t hinks that sounds crazy/and t hat's the thing that makes me sing so sadly/to t hink that we would leave God so lonely/to t hink that we would mess u p our own destiny." Frida Kahlo Provided By: Museum of Cont. Art Maria Izquierdo, Jose Clemente Orozco, David A lfaro Siqueiros, and Francisco Toledo are a few of the many Mexican artists with works on exhibit.

I believe it*s simply because this campus? By Sarah Aberle, MPH, RN There is an ample number of recycling containers on this campus: more than 200 freestanding containers throughout campus, several individual containers, and three gray containers located in the Dome for aluminum, plastic, and glass recycling products. Getting back into the fall semester brings excitement, anxiety, and stress for all students. From freshmen to graduate students, stress is experienced through pressures of writing papers, taking tests, keeping up on reading assignments^ and perhaps working fulltime while raising children. Many people do not realize that stress is a normal part of life. Stress can be helpful to get things done; however, too much stress can be harmful. Our bodies react to stress in a "fight or flight reaction." When our sympathetic nervous system is working overtime and we are frequently experiencing the "fight or flight" reaction, we also experience psychological and/or physical problems. Symptoms we experience with increased stress or anxiety: Tension headaches, inability to concentrate, insomnia; Gastrointestinal symptoms, diarrhea, nausea; Increased or decreased appetite; Tightness in the chest, backaches, neck pain; Increased feelings of anxiety; and Mood swings and irritability What can be done to combat stress? 1) Learn to say, "No!" Try to decrease your workload if possible. Learn to say NO! Learn to set limits for yourself. Try to take one day at a time and acknowledge your accomplishments as tasks are completed. Put things into perspective and evaluate: "How will this decision effect the BIG picture in my life." Don't spend time worrying about circumstances that you cannot change. 2) Exercise: Remember to get daily exercise. Exercising helps to increase e ndorphins (a chemical in the brain, thathelps us to relax and to feel good). Try walking, running, taking a dance class, roller-blading, going to the gym, or swimming. Exercise makes you feel good and look good! Simply taking a walk in the sunshine can help improve your mood. 3) Relax: Learn to relax throughout the day by stretching and taking slow deep breaths. Learn to meditate and set aside some quiet time to organize your thoughts. Watch out for negative thoughts that can overpower you throughout the day. Surround yourself with positive and nurturing friends. Share your concerns with your friends; many times simply knowing that other people feel the same way helps to alleviate stress. Leave some time in your schedule for f un, enjoyable activities. Remember it should be f un or relaxing! Take a hot bath with candles around the bathtub, watch the sunset at the beach, take a hike in the woods, or listen to your favorite music. 4) Remember to sleep and eat: Try to get adequate sleep and eat three well-balanced m&als per day with plenty of f ruit and vegetables. Good nutrition fuels the body, which keeps us going while it boosts our immune system in order to fight off infections. Watch out for too much caffeine and alcohol; if you consume too much, they can affect your ability to sleep and to concentrate. Learn to recognize the signals that your body gives off when you are experiencing too much stress. Make adjustments and learn to say NO! It's okay not to be Super Man or Super Woman. Give yourself a break! Learn to accept the things you cannot change. If you are a new college student, you may need additional help with time management, study skills, guidance in writing papers, note taking, etc. For more information on the above topics check out: There are more containers for recycling on this campus than any other college campus or institution that I have set foot upon, and, yet, we can't seem to get it right. AB75 is a recently passed and enacted California legislative bill that dictates that all California universities must change, implement, and improve their recycling programs within the next few years. According to AB75, all state universities must be at twenty-five percent recycling efficiency by 2002 and at f ifty percent recycling efficiency by the year 2004. This means that if CSUSM does not reach this level by the year 2004, it could be penalized and fined, thus losing valuable money and prestige in the eyes of other CSU campuses. We currently stand at about thirty percent recycling e fficiency—very good in comparison to other campuses and their recycling programs—but the thirty percent recycling efficiency falls short of the fifty percent efficiency that must be met by 2004. CSUSM's recycling coordinator, Carl Hanson, says, "With the amount of resources we have at our disposal and the accessibility of those resources, there is no reason why we shouldn't be at f ifty percent or better this very year." students and faculty don't prioritize recycling. Nancy Hoskins, Assistant Director of Administration and Customer Service, states, "Individuals should be more responsible for their individual actions " The problem is that we, as a whole—students and faculty —can't seem to get the simple concept that plastic and aluminum can't be mixed with glass, glass shouldn't be mixed with paper, and that trash should be thrown in the trash can and not mixed with any recycling product. Even worse, some of us don't participate in its practices at all. On a number of occasions I have observed faculty and students throwing trash into recycling bins and recycling products thrown into trashcans. It always appears that the culprits just don't seem to care about what they are doing. It's not like our system here at CSU San Marcos is that difficult, any grade school child could figure it out: Red containers of any size or shape are for glass products to be placed into, gray containers of any size are for plastic or aluminum, and black containers are for paper products—not including cardboard or poster board. So I guess I'm here to remind everyone that it does matter how efficiently we do recycle, not only for the ecologically hazardous effects of not recycling properly, but for the monetary and political effects on the campus community. If we were recycling properly, there would be no reason why all other universities couldn't look upon us as the ideal model by which to aspire. So why aren't we better at recycling? Is it because we are confused about recycling, Adam Bailey Http://www. ucc.vtedu/ stdysk/htimesch.html. If you continue to experience stress that interferes with your daily life, contact Counseling and Psychological Services at 760-750-4910 or Student Health Services at 760-750-4915.

Depending on your sense of humor, these unusual prints will either make you cringe or laugh. Calderon's prints are j ust some of the many surprising and unique pieces o f work in this exhibit f rom the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection. In my opinion, this art exhibit is definitely worth checking out and art-lovers will not be disappointed by Kahlo's self-portraits and Rivera's Calla Lily Vendor.

Though optimism for the u pcoming events had a euphoric police officer standing on top of a lamppost watching all the people. When someone asked the officer why the line was not moving, the police officer informed everyone that the generator broke and the security scanners were no longer working. As a result, security was no longer admitting people into the venue. With the inaugural ceremony less than an hour away, Proudfit's goal to get a front row view of the swearing in f effect on those in attendance, panic set in for Proudfit and those still waiting in a line that had not moved in hours.

While the subject of sex may be considered taboo or in bad taste to openly discuss, knowledge is essential for those of us that are sexual beings, a.k.a. everyone! Yes, we are a university full of sexual beings: heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, etc. And no matter the views that one may have on the subject, safety is the number one concern when discussing this matter/activity. Now, I'm not saying that I am the severely younger/taller version of Dr. Ruth, but I am more of an open ear, willing to listen, discuss, and provide some humor to this. The (scholarly) Uneducated Introduction to Human Sexuality: Depo-Provera That being said, let's discuss a personal experience that this writer recently had. In the onset of the current semester, I was particularly excited for the start of my first Human Sexuality course (Psychology 352)...ever! Dare I say, more excited than a thirteenyear-old boy before his much anticipated first sexual experience? But with the eagerness of this new "sexual encounter" came the depressing thought of opening the awkward condom of homework. Indeed, I was expecting homework, but I was hoping for a more experience-based assignment: Such as writing an essay based on the most unorthodox place one has had intercourse. Mine would have been about "doing it" in the back of a 67' El Camino... if it were true. But nay, this first assignment, like all relationships, is based on potential experiences. What will you do, where will you be in five years? I'm sure that your first answer wouldn't be to be inflicted with an STD. Even though those particular situations aren't the most popular to mention, nonetheless, these events occur. And sure enough, Contact us here at The Pride Student Newspaper LOCATION: CRVN3500 / PHONE: 760-750-6099 / EMA!L:CSUSMPRIDE@GMA!L.COM was m y first assignment, to study the financial, emotional, political, etc effects of dealing with a situation that may not be planned. These events ranged from contracting an STD to a family/ friend being arrested for a sexual misdemeanor. I'll be honest, I was hoping for something emotional, yet left room for information and self-enlightenment.. .like gonorrhea. I figured I could perform an entire Shakespearean opera based on a severe burning sensation one receives when they pee. But instead, my situation consists of researching the effects and potential side effects of a particular contraceptive known as DepoProvera. According to its official website (depoprover.com), Depo-Provera is an injection that women may choose to take every 11 to 13 weeks which prevents pregnancy for 3 months. Imagine that? Never again will you partner have to fumble with that hard-to-open condom wrapper, which leads me to mention, a condom is NOT a bag of Doritos. You can't simply pull it open, I suggest a tearing motion to effectively open your new fashion piece, but I digress. While this injection may effectively prevent pregnancy, it does not protect against HIV or any other sexually transmitted disease. Side effects include menstrual irregularities, pregnancylike symptoms, weight changes, and depression. Along with these side effects, prolonged use of Depo-Provera could result in significant loss of bone density. While the side effects may be significant compared to the convenience of not having to remember to take a pill everyday, like all contraceptives, it is a matter of choice and what works best for the individual. Even with all the great choices, keep in mind that abstinence is the only sure fire method of knowing you are safe and protected. But no matter what your views on sex, remember, be safe, be healthy, and have fun! îùusruoK x cm two rue . Ttmro/mwe* ALL My FAU MAIL. voummrr HOBKSOFOR MW/$rucmrr PAPCÍ& BCFOfZe, tíAVt YOU?

C SUSM wants Y OU ( and your money)! BY JASON GANAVARIS Pride Staff Writer BY JAMES SEBRING Pride Staff Writer On Tuesday, the first day of school, I started the new semester off by receiving a $50 parking ticket. Like many students, I did not buy my parking pass online. For the last 6 semesters I have opted to stand in line for an hour or so during the first week of school to buy my parking pass in person. In that time, I have never been issued a ticket for parking in one of the general lots without a valid parking pass. Tuesday was different. Considering that the number of f ree and metered parking spots on campus is dwarfed by the number of students who would need to use them to comply with parking laws, it would be next to impossible for students to follow the rules in the first week of school. With construction closing down the northern parking lot, j ust finding an open parking spot on the first day of the semester was like winning the lottery. The line of cars waiting for the drive-through parking pass machine in the Markstein lot alone stretched well past the Lot E traffic light Tuesday morning. A good friend of mine, who was also issued a parking ticket, was standing in line at the Transportation Services office waiting to buy a parking pass when his parking ticket was issued. Parking enforcement, in their enthusiasm, has lost their sense of good judgment. Students are not trying to cheat the system. A vast majority of student drive to campus, which requires them to purchase a parking pass. The Parking and Commuter Services Department would not miss out if they allowed a grace period for students like me to buy their parking passes. Paying a $50 ticket on top of a $250 pass is a slap in the face if you are ineligible to appeal the ticket. If you feel you have wrongly been issued a parking ticket, I suggest you try to appeal your ticket with the Parking and Commuter Services Department. Their contact number is (760) 750-7500, and their office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm in FCB-107. I had suggested to the Administration that it would be a nice gesture to have a Parking Permit Moratorium thefirstweek, since students who are buying passes are going to pay anyway, and it would be nice to give them a few days to purchase the pass. I thought it would be a nice break for the students scurrying to their new classes in the rush of excitement, bewilderment and frustration that seems to happen those first days with so many trying tofindparking, classes and all the things associated with the start of a new term. Other colleges do it, so why not us? I mistakenly thought that it would not cost them all that much, then I realized very early this morning (2:30 a.m) that there was a great deal ofmoney to be made, $5 to $7 per student for a temporary pass... times maybe 1000 students. Ouch! As it turns out, Tuesday likely brought in about $6000 in day-pass money and probably more on Wednesday. The responsefromparking services was this, "We do not offer moratoriums for parkingTas Spring permits do go on sale almost 2 months before the start of the semester and are available for purchase on-line and in multiple locations on campus.. There was no mention of the fact that they make a lot of MONEY from the temporary day permits. Now to be fair, they do give "one" permit away in a lottery drawing. In surveying a number of students standing in line at parking services the first day, all had purchased a day pass because they did not know how long it would take to get the pass, some knew you could purchase on-line, and one student's educational funds were not available for early purchase. A staff person told me that during the university hour the line wrapped around several times and then snaked out the door into Tukwut Court. A couple students reported getting parking violation tickets while they were over at the day pass dispensing machine. The moral of this story is, park next to the machine first. I was surprised to learn that a parking pass is not included in your on-campus housing fees. A first week moratorium would be a fractional percent of the annual amount Parking Services generates in parking permits and day passes alone. The funds are directed to paying for the multi-level parking garage now under construction across from campus housing. Its completion is projected for 2010 though it will take 30 years to pay for it. An 18% increase is planned for Fall 2009 increasing annual earnings by over Vi million dollars. My suggestion is ride a bike or take the Sprinter. Between gas, traffic and parking fees it doesn't seem rational to drive.

NORTH COUNTY TRANSIT DISTRICT GoNCTD.com IS 5 11 Every semester as students are confronted with buying parking permits, some look to CSUSM's short-term parking options to mitigate the costs of parking on campus. Though these daily/hourly permits are less convenient, it is common for budget-minded students to forgo purchasing expensive semester passes in the belief that paying per use can cut personal parking expenses measurably. The Pride put this theory to a test and compared common parking/schedule scenarios to determine which is of the greatest economic advantage to students. The rundown on purchasing semester parking permits or daily/hourly permits: In most circumstances, the full semester parking permit is a better deal for students with a typical school week of 12-15 units. Factoring in breaks between classes, U-hour, and other on-campus activities, it is likely that a student with a full course load would require a 5-hour permit or even an all day permit to park on campus. If students can manage to pack all of their classes into 2 days, then daily permits are the clear choice. With more school days at these longer durations, the cumulative costs of daily/ hourly permits push past that of the semester permit, which makes this a less attractive option for students with long school days. Only under special conditions would daily/hourly permits be more economical, namely when students have periodic access to alternative forms of transportation (i.e. rides from friends, walking, biking, bus, etc.) For those that do opt for daily/hourly permits, it is generally cheaper to park 2 days a week for longer durations than it is to park 4 times a week for briefer durations. The Numbers: $248: Cost of full semester permit. $7: Cost of all day permit. $5: Cost of 5 hour permit. $4: Cost of 3 hour permit. $2: Cost of 1 hour permit. Scenario 1: 4 day school week $448 on all day permit. $320 on 5 hour permit. $256 on 3 hour permit. $248 on semester permit. Scenario 2: 2 day school week $248 on semester permit. $224 on all day permit. $160 on 5 hour permit. $128 on 3 hour permit Scenario 3: Varied school week. $368 on 2 5-hour permits and 3 1-hour permits. $352 2 on all day permits and 2 3-hour permits. $336 on 3 all day permits. $288 on 2 5-hour permits and 2 3-hour permits. $248 on semester permit. $240 on 3 5-hour permits. $192 on 3 3-hour permits $176 on 2 5-hour permits and 1 1-hour permit. �Tuesday,January 27, 2009 From INAUGURATION, page 1 Chanel makeup, courtesy of the Ritz Carlton with the presidential seal on it. It was just one thing after the other. I got a jar of Michelle Obama's cookies that had her favorite cookie recipe on it made by a job-training program." At 11:10 a.m., standing in an endless, non-moving line of people, among a crowd of millions, Proudfit believed she had seen the last of her good luck streak. "That night I went to two balls. This chairman of another tribe asked me what I thought of the speech and of course, a few other folks were asking me my opinion as a political scientist. I kept telling people that I experienced so much joy during the speech that I can't say that I analyzed it that thoroughly," Proudfit said. "I know people were looking for that catch phrase or the one word. I just looked at the whole movement, the experience, the presence. It wasn't about his words as Fencing was installed throughout the National Mall for security. "We're in this mob of people and I'm thinking, 'Oh, my God, this is where the other shoe falls, I guess, and we're not going to get to see it.'" Instead of accepting defeat, Proudfit took action and decided to head back to the National Museum of American Indians. "We were walking through this crowd and I said, "Come on Maryann" because she was getting tired. I said, 'We gotta keep going. We're going to miss it if we don't.' And there were these concrete dividers and they were probably about half our height," Proudfit explained. "I made her hop it! I mean she's a sixty four year old woman with two knee braces and I think she was running on straight adrenaline because she climbed it and she got over it and she much about the momentum and the action of finally making that change, of turning that page." After finally having time to look over the transcript of the speech a few times, Proudfit added that she thought the speech President Obama gave was fantastic, inclusive, and assertive to other countries. Aside the speech and the glamour of the event, Proudfit equally expressed her joy watching the first African American sworn in as President of the United States. "I can't imagine how African Americans feel. As an American Indian, I know how I felt. And I know how wonderful and how long we've worked for this.

"But [now] we're united by hope and that's such a difference. It is such a different feeling. It is my instinct and I believe that is what's going to keep us united. It's not going to be for a few weeks or months or years. I think being united by hope is far different than being united by fear."

M i l l e r a ttends FBI A c a d e m y BY JAMES SEBRING Pride Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos' very own University Police Lieutenant Doug Miller recently received the honor of attending the FBI National Academy. The FBI trains about 1,000 local and state police officers each year in this program. The trainees are chosen from all over the United States as well as other countries. Besides the usual physicalfitnessand police training, the Academy also offered college undergraduate and graduate level courses. One that Lt. Miller found particularly interesting was a course that taught you how to analyze witness statements, determine the validity of a statement, and where the statement may be less than factual. "When someone is giving a detailed statement of what they did and they go from specific details to generalities and use phrases like 'and then'; that is where you need to look for possible falsehoods," Miller explained. Miller grew up in Colorado, describing himself as "somewhat of a rebel" until he joined the Marines. His wife, Teresa, is a nurse and currently serving in the US Navy, stationed in Yokosuka, Japan. After serving 7 years active duty, Miller got out of the Marines and went to San Diego State University where he wanted to become an engineer. "I discovered that my math skills were not up to the task of being an engineer, so I changed directions," Miller said. While pursuing a different degree field, he was informed of a job with the University Police. His point of contact was a Chief Carpenter. "I didn't know what statistics had to do with carpentry, but I applied anyway," Miller said. He later discovered that Carpenter was the Police Chiefs last name. He took the job with the SDSU Campus Police working as a statistician, researching and writing grants. Impressed with his work, SDSU Campus Police recommended Miller for police training at the San Diego County Police Academy. Upon completion of his training, he went to work as a patrol officer with SDSU Campus Police, working his way up to Sergeant. Although Miller enjoyed the work and found it satisfying, he felt a desire to move on. It was at this time that an opening became available at CSUSM Police Dept. Miller applied and was accepted. He became a Patrol Sergeant for CSUSM, but was soon offered a position as a lieutenant. Although the pay was better, he was reluctant to give up being on patrol, which for him remains an enjoyable part of the job. Ultimately, Miller took the job as Police Lieutenant and moved to his new vehicle: a desk. When asked whether he found giving tickets to be the most enjoyable part of his job, Miller replied, "No, not really, but if it prevents some kind of unsafe or dangerous driving situation, that at least there is some satisfaction in i t" What Millerfindsmost enjoyable is teaching students about his job, about the dangers that are ever present, and how to make good, safe life choices. He enjoys it when the studentsfinallylet down their guard and begin asking questions and sharing their experiences or asking for advice. Looking to the future, Miller notes his number one priority is having his wife back from Japan, and then hopefully a meaningful retirement. They would like to join the Peace Corps or something similar. "Teresa and I have been involved in service related jobs for many years," Miller said. "But we feel doing that kind of work as a volunteer, rather than as part of our job, would be so much more satisfying." A D V E R T I Z I N G IS EASY AS 1-2-3 1 . C H O O S E A D S IZE. 2 .

C A L STATE S A N M A R C O S CAREER CENTER CRAVEN H A L L 1 4 0 0 760-750-4900 �10 Tuesday,January 27, 2009 Arts & Entertainment Chinese Astrology R at: 1900, 1912, 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008 The Rat may likely begin the year with a lot of momentum from the year of the Rat. Take an inventory for the next twelve months. Then, with some plans in mind, no matter what area of life, work purposefully towards obtaining those objectives. One pitfall to avoid in the year of the Ox is over-committing to engaging in too many activities at the same time. Self-discipline, careful planning, and applied effort are three wise methods that will lead to a successful year in 2009. Ox: 1901, 1913, 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009 The Ox can do well this year through steady progress. There may be a number of experiences that will provide great joy for the Ox. One area, in particular, is the Ox's personal life. You may see an addition to the family. You will be surrounded by those who care. Look for the early summer months to attend many social occasions, providing many new faces in your social circle. One area of focus is to be open to the advice of others, as you tend to keep your issues to yourself. Tiger: 1902, 1914, 1926,1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998 From the outset, 2009 may present some true challenges for the Tiger. The year of the Ox presents an overwhelming influence upon the Tiger to maintain a steady and well disciplined pace. That is not to say that there won't be opportunities for achievement, but it would be more precise to say that this is a year that would benefit the Tiger in the areas of experience and possibly lay a solid foundation for the year to come. You will have to be resourceful and rely on your boldness and quick wit to ascertain anything in the year of the Ox. Rabbit: 1903, 1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999 The past year may have provided the Rabbit with many challenges and difficult situations, but this year will be a relief. The Rabbit has a very favorable outlook this year. Though it is not part of your usual plan, you may find that being assertive and bold will allow you to achieve unforeseen success. Your attraction to the finer life may lead you to living it. Personal relations are of great value to the Rabbit and will be emphasized throughout the year. Put your best foot forward in the year of the Ox and you will reap many benefits and % rewards. Dragon: 1904, 1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000 The year of the Ox may slightly hinder the Dragon's independent spirit. There will be gains, but you may have to adapt to situations with different strategies than your usual style. There are three favorable months to provide periods of substantial progress and you would do well to take notice of these times and make the most of the opportunities offered. The single Dragon will be happy to know that romance is favored this year, so you may find someone to share your experiences. Be conservative in your spending or it could result in problems next year. Snake: 1905,1917,1929,1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001 The Snake has an incredibly favorable year ahead. The year of the Ox provides many opportuni- ties for the Snake to fulfill long awaited career goals and achieve more than he/she ever imagined. Your wisdom and patience are tools that prove successful in all aspects of your life. Relationships could be taken to new heights and deep and meaningful friendships are acquired. This year proves to be one of action, the year that all of your planning and w aiting pay off for you. The later months prove to be especially successful, tying a year of arduous work into an extremely blissful culmination. Horse: 1906,1918,1930,1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002 The Horse may have a challenging year ahead. You may become frustrated with the lack of progress in your career, but you will have to be patient to see the results of your hard work. Beware of your energy levels, as you tend to swing in accordance to your success. You will have to work hard to steer yourself out of ruts with healthy activities and other projects that keep you active. Be open to try new things and heed the advice of others in Word(s) Yoda Tonya Harding \ the year of the Ox. Goat: 1907, 1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003 This may not be as favorable as a year that you desire. Coming off the year of the Rat, you may be seeking relief from the difficult year. Don't let up now. The Goat is artistic in nature and you may have difficulties finding a way to express your creative passions. It will take an extra effort to rely on the help of others to make it through these times, but if you keep a steady focus on your goals and display painstaking efforts, you will be pleased to see the fruits of your labor arrive next year. Don't fret, as you may learn a lot about yourself in the process. You may learn that you are more versatile, as well as resourceful, than you ever imagined. Monkey: 1908, 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004 This year offers the Monkey some opportunities to go far with your talents. The Monkey's generous nature may leave you stretched in several different directions, so it is important to stay focused in order to achieve the goals you have set for yourself this year. You will be given the opportunity to impress the right people both in business, as well as in your personal life. Don't hold back this year, for this could be one that will leave an impression over the course of the next few years. Rooster: 1909, 1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005 Aside from the Snake, the Rooster has the best prospects in the year of the Ox. This is the kind of year you have been waiting for, as everything seems to go your way. You have been diligently working towards some long term goals that finally come together this year. Your relations are felt at new levels, as you find a sense of satisfaction that you may not have experienced in a long time. Things you may have thought not possible will become a reality for you in this positive year. Dog: 1910, 1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006 2009 will present the Dog with a number of challenges. Your patience will certainly be tested in more than one instance. You may not necessarily gain the notoriety you desire in your career, but certain advancement opportunities will surface throughout the year. You will find comfort with your family and solidify bonds that are necessary for your well being. You may have issues juggling your family life with your work schedule, but you will make great strides in both areas by the end of the year. Pig: 1911, 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007 The Pig has many opportunities to shine this year. Your generous nature is apparent in all aspects of your life. This year, your inherent generosity plays a large role I n areas that you may not even be aware and may pave the way to a possible career change. You have an abundance of friends and you are well loved by your family, this year will only enhance these relations. One area that may create some issues is that you seem to overextend yourself to a point where there isn't any time left for you. This could lead to a change in priorities and could promote some better organizational skills. /n./ \ The world's current Sith Lord. Cousin of Kermit the Frog but off the botox.

The popularity of the vest comes from its nearly limitless functionality and compatibility. It can be worn with a button down shirt to channel sartorial elegance, or worn with your favorite t-shirt to attain a more rock star vibe. When purchasing a vest opt for one in a darker shade for its versatility and its ability to streamline your silhouette. Cardigan The cardigan functions like a vest, it creates an opportunity to layer clothing, creating visual depth and complexity. Think of the cardigan as your go to sweater.

When buying a fedora look for one that is cut slimmer and has a more modern edge. I recommend a straw fedora that can be worn casually with a T-shirt and jeans or dressed up with slim cut pants and a classic white oxford. For the ladies, a straw fedora exudes bohemian glamour and for the gentlemen it emanates James Deanesque confidence. Style is an expression of self. Find what works for you and rock it!

The plot is quite contrived. Sex traders kidnap a girl on vacation in Paris, but it just so happens her father is an ex-CIA agent. He goes on a relentless and bloody quest to get her back. It is eerily similar to Steven Soderbergh's "The Limey." With so many other good f ilms to see, there is no room for "Taken." Lastly, there is the horror remake "The Uninvited." I could go on with puns about the title and how I would not welcome it into the local cinema, but it is too obvious.

The changes intend to provide fellow Cougars with an even better newspaper. "Beer of the Week" enjoyed numerous weekly columns in the semesters past. "Exclusively Fluid" is essentially a hybrid of the beloved "BOTW." The new column runs weekly and brings an exciting change by showcasing the best of both alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks. Debuting as the first beverage for the new column is Gatorade's relatively new line of G2 sports drinks. The 32 fluid ounce sports drink retails from $2-3 and is found at most grocery stores, mini-marts, and gas stations. The six tasty current flavors are grape, strawberry-kiwi, orange, lemonlime, blueberry-pomegranate, and fruit punch. The G2 line might see additional flavors in the years to come as is Gato- j rade's trend of gradually introducing new flavors. Distinguishing G2 from the original Gatorade lineup are 50% fewer calories and extra vitamins such as Vitamin B, C, and E. Despite the reduction in calories, G2 retains the same fundamental benefit of electrolytes, making the sports drink an even better choice for normal consumers and athletes. The G2 fruit punch flavored drink tastes absolutely delicious. The scent and experience seem like a throwback to the good old days of cherry flavored Kool-Aid. G2, regardless of the flavor, feels a lot lighter than regular Gatorades. The ability to stop drinking fades away with each yummy gulp. G2 is a revamped, renewed, and overall better tasting Gatorade with less calories and the same amount of electrolytes. The G2, especially the fruit punchflavor,can be enjoyed by all Cougars. With a raised glass of G2, cheers to new beginnings! � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Social justice at the forefront ASI community centers promote inclusion, integration B Y K ATUN SWEENEY E DITOR-IN-CHIEF When you give passionate leaders a place where they can share their thoughts and initiate their dreams into action, you spark a revolution. At CSUSM, students, faculty and staff have worked together to create a campus that is not only serving students in the classroom, but through various educational programs as well. The development of programs and spaces dedicated to the exploration and understanding of socialjustice has been at the forefront of the university's mission to build a diverse campus. One of the most successful routes towards educating students has been through the Social Justice Centers. Individually known as the Gender Equity Center, Pride Center and Cross Cultural Center, these three spaces have been pivotal in creating student leaders and promoting awareness of significant social issues. White Student Life & Leadership (SLL) oversees the Cross Cultural Center, the Gender Equity Center and Pride. Center are provided through Associated Students Inc. (ASI).

The more we give, the more students will follow their dreams," Aiello-Hauser said. One of the reasons that the Gender Equity and Pride Centers have teamed up is to refocus their images and encourage students from all backgrounds to explore what each group has to offer. The Pride Center is not geared only towards LGBTQA students and the Gender Equity Center is not solely for students that identify as feminists or seek to combat injustice. By changing their title to highlight 'community,'Aiello-Hauser hopes that it will make all students feel more comfortable to walk in, open up to their peers and faculty, ask questions, and learn about all sides and opinions of social justice. With a conjoining door that makes it easy for students to walk in between the two, the ASI Community Centers students that are interested in both centers can easily walk next door to explore both options. Aiello-Hauser expressed that each student that walks into the centers are at different phases of their journey, and that his job is to encourage them to explore and learn as much as they can. "Everyone's path may be different, and yours may not be the same as mine. We are just supporting and offering as many paths and opportunities to grow in understanding of social justice as possible," Aiello-Hauser said. The ASI Community Centers have also integrated in various other organizations to their projects, partnering up notably with the Greek Leadership Council and Student Health and Counseling Services. Their goal is t o create an environment that is not only inclusive of the students that spend time in the Community Centers but also to connect the campus as a whole so that CSUSM functions as one unit rather than a collection of groups separate from one another.

While they all share similar goals, each of the Social Justice Centers is its own entity, equipped with different student employees, identities and goals. In an effort to represent themselves as ASI organizations and highlight the changes to their structure the Gender Equity Center and Pride Center have rebranded themselves as the ASI Community Centers. The two groups, which previously operated under the leadership of two separate program directors, have refogused so that the they function more as a team rather than completely separate from one another. The Pride Center and Gender Equity Center are now under the leadership of Robert Aiello-Hauser, director of ASI Community Centers, and Kenyatta Parker, coordinator of ASI Community Centers. The goal in combining the two centers under one title is not to extinguish the separate identities of each center, but rather to encourage students from both groups to work together. The title ASI Community Centers will be used to refer simultaneously to both centers, but the Gender Equity and Pride Centers will still keep their individual names to highlight their differences in priori- Fans of the "Harry Potter" series can now take their experience a step further with the new course t hat. will be offered in the upcoming spring semester. Although much debate exists in the realm of academia on whether or not the series maintains substantial educational value, Professor Linda Pershing has decided to share with the university her professional opinion on the series. She will be teaching a class called Harry Potter Folklore and Culture (ID 370), which will immerse 120 students deeper in the magic of J.K. Rowling's books. Professor Pershing decided to create the course for a variety of reasons. "I found [the books] fascinating in many ways: as a scholar and instructor of folklore and culture, I love the books for their critical commentary on systems of social hierarchy," Pershing said. This course will bring to surface the various motifs and themes that are found in the beloved series. Students will learn of the mythology and folklore that J.K, Rowling has utilized, examine the culture of the magical world she has created and explore the various social issues that appear throughout the seven novels. "These include major life issues, such as the sanctity of life and coming to terms with death (particularly the death of loved ones), social hierarchies of power and privilege and the injustice of these, courage and stepping up to take action in the face of injustice and evil, the value of friendship, and the shortcomings of bureaucracies and social institutions," Pershing said. The H P. course will be educational, immersive and entertaining. Students will begin the journey with their own sorting ceremony. Each student will be assigned to one of the four houses (Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff or Raveclaw) based on a personality exam. The students will then be transported to the world of "Harry Potter" with a House Prefect, commonly referred to as a teacher's assistant, to guide them through various activities and projects, making Harry's magical world their own. "We will read all seven novels and learn to analyze, discuss and apply the principle concepts that appear in each novel, making the connections between the magical realm of Harry Potter and our own world. We're planning lots of discussion, interaction, and participatory activities to make the course interesting and rewarding. Some of the topics we'll cover include how race, gender, social stratification, and economic class shape Harry Potter's world," Pershing said. Rest assured that with this class you would be getting a truly educational experience. Thorough background research has been done leading up to the course, both by Professor Pershing and her "Head Girls," Amanda Lenox and Lauren Hammond. This includes numerous academic articles and books that focus specifically on the topics that will be discussed in the class as well as research gathered by Pershing personally, directly from numerous locations in England and Scotland that are important to the "Harry Potter" books and films. Six CSUSM students that had helped with the original research have been awarded the opportunity to present their findings at the annual American Folklore Society Conference this October. This class will have much to offer students, whether they are a die-hard "Harry Potter" fan or someone who is just getting into the series and wants to explore the books more in depth. It will be both fun and educational to delve deeper into the cultural phenomenon that is "Harry Potter" and expand students' perceptions of the books in an exciting environment. A few students who are very familiar with the series can even get involved in assisting with the course outline by contacting Pershing atlpershing@csusm.edu �NEWS Building community on and off campus News Editor: cougarchron.news@gmail.com T HE C OUGAR C HRC KSDAY. S EPT r i , 2 0 1 3 K inesiology majors club provides f ood donations t o local aid organizations B Y KATLIN SWEENEY E DITOR-IN-CHIEF When students take what they learn in the classroom and use it to better their community, the result is transformational education. Last year, CSUSM's Kinesiology Majors Club teamed up with Kinesiology Service Learning Students, Donate Don't Dump and North County Community Services Food Bank to change the North County aj;ea for the better. Over the span of 12 food distributions, the collaborative efforts of these groups resulted in the distribution of 36,000 pounds of food to students, staff and members of the community that needed it. The Kinesiology Major's Club embraced reduction of student hunger as one of their biggest goals after their adviser, Professor Laura de Ghetaldi, got in contact with Donate Don't Dump. De Ghetaldi learned about the organization at the San Diego Film Festival when she watched "One in Seven, the New Face of Hunger," a documentary by UCLA freshman Camille Posard. Inspiration ran in the family for Posard, spreading to Posard's younger sister, high school sophomore Gabrielle, to create Donate Don't Dump, which works with grocers and food companies to supply food to those in need rather than having it go to waste.. The Kinesiology Majors Club then teamed up with pastors Daniel and Theresa Jones of Summit Church to host the food distributions across from campus, a location that was not only convenient to students but all members of the community. . At each food distribution, anywhere from 10 to 20 students, some who are also interns with Donate Don't Dump, volunteer their time to supply attendees with approximately 20 pounds of free fruits and vegetables. In one hour, anywhere from 5,000 to 6,000 pounds of food are passed out. But the true spirit of teamwork and community is also demonstrated through the fact that distributing this food comes at absolutely no cost to the Kinesiology Club. The only cost that is required for the process to run smoothly is a total of $50 for the trucks to bring the food, a fee which Summit Church and Donate Don't Dump split so that the distributions do not require the financial support of the Kinesiology Club. "We've gotten tremendous support from various individuals, and people like our Club President Amy Clark, Vice President Ross Edmunds, last year's Lead Intern Curtis Bovee and last year's President Junemy Pantig all worked so hard to make these distributions happen. And our partnerships with the North County Food Bank, Donate Don't Dump and all of the various groups involved have all just been great working relationships to help the community. It just shows how people can work together with that commonality of wanting to «help others," de Ghetaldi said. This past year, the Kinesiology Club enjoyed honors such as the Office of Community Service Learning Award for Student Group of the Year, two nominations and five received individual student leadership awards, a Tukwut Organization of the Year nomination, recognition as an official ASI Club on campus and a total of 14,850 hours of internship hours completed by 162 students. In collaboration with Donate Don't Dump, the Kinesiology Club also received President Obama's Volunteer Service Award. "I don't know who gets more out of this, the people who. need help or the ones giving the help. In a way, it's a selfish thing to give back because it makes you feel good too. I'm just so proud of the whole thing and my students that volunteer. Every time we do this, it just all comes together. We are building community and I hope that this can serve as a prototype for other schools in the CSU system," de Ghetaldi said. Food distributions take place at 2 p.m. on the second and fourth Tuesday of every month (except on holidays and during finals week) at Summit Christian Church, located across from campus next to the dorms.

Based on figures released in late August from the Office of Communications, CSUSM is home to approximately 900 students that identify themselves as a veteran, service member or military dependent. Many of these student veterans remember the day vividly and wanted to share the ways in which Sept. 11 resonated with them. An "8th grader at the time, David Acosta remembers being sick from school that fateful day and watching the news at his home in Fallbrook. He was familiar with New York and witnessing something so disturbing made him question humanity. "Seeing people jump from the towers was crazy. I already wanted to join the military, but that really instilled the idea," Acosta said. Meanwhile on the other side of the world, Gregg. Snow was working as a contractor in Tokyo when one of his Japanese co-workers called him up, frantically trying to tell him what had happened.

Snow was supposed to fly back to the U.S. the next day, but instead had to go to the Embassy and was unable to fly home until a week later. He had been out of the military for a while at the time, but after the attack he contemplated re-enlisting. Nicholas Ashley was also out of the country on Sept. 11. He was living in Indonesia in the middle of a large Muslim population. He felt very uncomfortable due to the circumstances and began telling people he was Canadian to avoid talking about the attack.

CSUSM Special: Mention thi �Features Editor: Tatiana cougarchron.features@gmail.com Zavoénf C larke offers a n umber of fitness options for students B Y TATIANA ZAVODNY FEATURES EDITOR Whether students want to lose those freshmen 15 or are just looking for a way to stay healthy this semester, fitness classes may be the perfect way to achieve their goals. The Clarke recently posted their updated schedule for their unique and exciting fitness classes that will be available throughout the fall semester. With seven different options to choose from, students are sure to find a class thatfitstheir needs and their schedule. So how does the Campus Recreation Department select which classes make the cut? "We try to keep [the classes] that are most popular," Sonya Starr-Mclin, the Administrative Coordinator of Campus Recreation^ said. Among the list of most popular classes are Ashtanga Yoga and Indoor Cycling. These low-impact activities can help improve your strength and flexibility. Ashtanga Yoga is offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays during U-hour, while Indoor Cycling is held on Mondays from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. as well as Friday during U-hour. For anyone interested in a high-intensity activity that will exercise your entire body, then Boot Camp may be the perfect opportunity. The Campus Recreation flyer explains that the course provides "a variety of intense group intervals^ over a one hour period of time." Another way to fight the boredom of going to the gym every day but still receiving a total body workout is through Total Fit. The class is promoted by Campus Recreation to "tone and tighten your entire body.. .leaving you with a complete feeling of satisfaction and balance." Boot Camp and Total Fit are offered on Wednesday at 5:15 p.m. to 6:15 p.m. and Monday at 5:15 p.m. to 6:15 p.m., respectively. Another option to relieve Campus Filipino club welcomes new members B Y MARGERY URIL STAFF WRITER Students that are interested in learning about a new culture, playing games, meeting new people and having fun should join Kamalayan Alliance (KA). According to their website, KA spreads knowledge and awareness about Filipino and Filipino-American history and culture at CSUSM. Five students founded the club in the summer of2005. Now eight years later, the amount of members has almost tripled. The name Kamalayan, which in Tagalog means 'consciousness' and Alliance, which refers to a group of people striving to build a community, seeks to introduce Filipino culture to students from all backgrounds. The group also educates students on campus with events that introduce differenf aspects of the Filipino culture. One of the biggest events the group had last year was the "K A goes to CSU Fullerton," where schools throughout California partake in the biggest Filipino college event. One of the highlights of this event is the Friendship Games, which demonstrates Spirit, Pride, Unity and Friendship (SPUF). In the spring, there was the "Filipino Cultural Showcase" (PCS) where KA members performed a play about Filipino Culture. some stress and burn calories at the same time is Taekwondo. Offered from 5:15 p.m. to 6:15 p.m. on Wednesday evenings, this fitness class welcomes beginners since no prior experience in the sport is required. If you're looking for a more light-hearted way to burn a few extra calories, then laughing along while taking Laughter Yoga or dancing to the beat of Latin music during Zumba may be just for you. Allfitnessclasses are meant to provide a non-intimidating environment, as most of them are often adaptable for allfitnesslevels. Also important to this environment are the instructors. "All of our instructors are great," Starr-Mclin said. "Most of our instructors are students here on campus." One of the best aspects of these seven unique fitness classes is that every single one is free for registered students and available for a small fee to faculty and staff. To participate, students simply need a free membership to TheClarke gym, since the fee to use it is already included in most matriculated students' university registration fees when they pay tuition. No other sign-up forms are required and students can attend the classes that suit their needs whenever they choose. Most classes do not begin until the week of Sept. 16 and locations for each class vary from The Clarke gym, the University Village Apartments (UVA) and the University Commons building depending on the activity. "If [students] haven't tried a fitness class, they should," Starr-Mclin said. The Campus Recreation Department also offers personal training and intramural sports at an extra cost.

Due of thè options that is being offered over the summer is traveling to Spain. Students like Neil French have benefitted tremendously from the program and highly recommend it. "If you're looking to learn another language this is the way to go. I learned more from one month in Spain than I did in six semesters in the United States," French said, * Neil, along Svith approximately 20 CSUSM students and many other students from around the world, had the. opportunity to study at the University of Valladolid. The courses they attended ranged from beginning to advanced Spanish, as well as Spanish culture and litr erature. Students spent four hours a day in classes, Monday through Friday, for four weeks, t hough the coursework was intense and the students learned much more than just what was taught in the classrooms. "The experience of going abroad was one that I honestly can't capture into words," Jordan Taylor said. "To be so outside the bubble I thought was my comfort zone and step into a whole new world was as if I had gone from black and white to color. I truly believe going to a new country is the best way to invest your time." Besides the classes, students also had the opportunity to take excursions to nearby cities. Since Valladolid is well situated just a couple of hours northwest of Madrid in the Castilla y Leon region, students were able to visit Madrid, Segovia and Salamanca. The professors from the university provided tours of the cities with much information about the history and culture, and students were also able to use their free time in the cities exploring castles, museums and cathedrals. Some students, like Karen Mascarinas, have transferred to other countries like the UK through Study Abroad, but reflect on Spain as a life-changing experience. "I grew so much as an individual while learning Spanish in Spain. I realized that I was a stronger person who was capable of things I would have never discovered before. It's not all about the fun stuff [...] it's about finding yourself and where you see yourself in this world," said Mascarinas. Students who are interested in studying Spanish in Spain in the summer of 2014 should stop by the Office of Global Education in Craven 3200 to speak with the study abroad advisor, Tiffany Gabbard.

Making a decision about gluten-free dieting H eart B eat B Y RACHEL GALLEGO STAFF WRITER You ' ve probably heard about the increasing number of people jumping o n the bandwagon of becoming gluten-free. You may also be noticing more gluten-free products in stores. What you are probably not hearing is that there are some important things to consider before eliminating foods with gluten from your diet. Many people state that they feel healthier after going gluten-free. Some individuals feel it may even be the answer to weight loss, clearer skin and more energy. Gluten is a protein complex that is most commonly found in wheat, barley, rye and triticale. It gives dough its elasticity and helps to keep its shape. The main reason someone would want to consume a gluten-free diet is to help treat the symptoms of celiac disease. Gluten causes inflammation to the small intestine of those with the disease. This can eventually damage the lining of the small intestine and prevent the absorption of certain nutrients, Even if you do not have Celiac disease, you could possibly be intolerant or sen9 9 dairy products.

At the top of the peak, hikers, bikers and runners alike are Rewarded with a great view of surrounding cities, the ocean on a clear day and amazing sunsets. A good place to begin a trip up to Double Peak is from Discovery Lake. Parking, restrooms and water fountains are available but are only open from dawn to dusk. It would be wise to park on the street near the park on a late evening adventure. Water fountains and restrooms are also located at the top of Double Peak. The trails between the lake and the peak switch between dirt and pavement and are well maintained. In some places the incline can be quite a climb, while other parts are fairly level. The trek to the top is not easy, but people of many different abilities, and even dogs, can be seen enjoying the trail. It is also possible to park atop double peak and hike around from there if you're not ready to tackle the full climb. Taking a lap around Discovery Lake itself can be a pleasant trip. The whole path around the lake is paved and relatively flat. Fishing at Discovery Lake is also another option for enjoying a beautiful day in San Marcos. San Elijo Hills offers students an excellent opportunity to get out and exercise outdoors to relieve the rigors of constant study.

The key to being a student-athlete in Swanson's opinion is prioritization. Swanson believes in prioritizing your activities by what is most important to you. From there, you should allocate the most time to the activities at the top of your list so that you are not stressed about becoming sidetracked. She also finds that it is important to make sacrifices in order to accomplish what you want to achieve. Swanson lives by the quote, "Don't give up on what you want most for what you want now.

BY JUSTIN D ONNER SPORTS EDITOR With the beginning of the new semester many of us have outlined ambitious fitness goals and are sprinting full steam ahead to accomplish them. The old adage "quality over quantity" may be more important in this case than some think. American Fitness defines overtraining as being, "a state of burnout as a result of the combined negative emotional, behavioral and physical symptoms that occur as a result of persistent training without proper recovery." The amount of recovery time needed per person is going to vary, but the key is to listen to your body. A few common signs of overtraining are halted progress, decreased motivation and self-esteem, loss of concentration, insomnia, personality changes and even depression. Another thing to look for is prolonged muscle soreness. Being sore for a couple of days after a workout is expected, but prolonged soreness could be a sign that your body is not being given enough time to recover. It is essential to realize that days off are as important to personal growth as the days spent training. Some other ways to help prevent overtraining include fueling your body with nutritious meals before and after workouts, staying hydrated and getting a good amount of sleep each night. Personal trainers are a great option to help you develop both a fitness and recovery plan. The Clarke here on campus offers certified personal trainers. Working with these trainers comes at a small cost, but it is a great investment that will offer you both a personalized plan and a great learning experience. They also offer discounts for groups of friends wanting to getfittogether. Developing a proper plan for yourself with ample recovery time is a key component of staying motivated and ensuring that you reach yourfitnessgoals this semester.

I first heard of the memorial after being assigned by my sociology professor to locate its' whereabouts. As a freshman at the university, I started asking other students around me for assistance in hopes that they could point me in the right direction. I then came to the halting realization thatmost GSUSM students are not at all that familiar with their campus. Only one of the 15 students I came in contact with was able to give me the location of the memorial along with a vague description of its tribute. It was when I read the plaque that I gathered a clearer understanding of the monument's history. The White Rose refers a group of students in Nazi Germany that urged the Germans to passively resist the regime. They anonymously passed out six different leaflets that urged active opposition on the part of the Germans, using covert means of distribution such as leaving the pamphlets in phone booths or having female students travel by train to bring the pamphlets to other areas. On Feb. 18, 1943, two of the White Rose members personally distributed pamphlets by scattering them across their campus for students to pick up. They were caught and turned in to the Nazi party. Soon afterward, the rest of the White Rose members were caught and put on trial. Six of the members were executed by guillotine and the remaining were imprisoned for treason. The White Rose Memorial is decorated with tall, white roses alongside a small well of water and stands just north of the Arts building on the San Marcos campus. % since 2003 and acknowledges the efforts of the White Rose members, the only resistance group to denounce the horrors of the Holocaust, and allows for the group to be remembered by today's students. Even more so, it shows us all here at CSUSM that as students, we can make a great and influential impact on the world. Our voices can be heard. There also lies a ladle inside of the well that gives people the opportunity to give water to the roses. I ask my fellow students to take a moment in passing and feed this symbol of strength and determination. The lack of interest in the memorial is a truly sad oversight and I hope that urging awareness will allow for more students to share in the incredibility of White Rose. To find out more about the White Rose and their actions go to my source for much of this information, holocaustresearchproject.org. B Y LETTY PUENTES STAFF WRITER B Y CHELSEY SCHWEITZER STAFF WRITER CSUSM parking permit fees nearly cost more than the SDSU and UCLA campuses combined. Most students will agree that paying $338 a semester for general parking is excessive. This high cost leads many students to try other methods, like going out of their way to take the bus, walking, biking, taking the sprinter and carpooling. Even carpooling costs students a large sum of money when considering the financial struggle of also affording tuition and textbooks. Not t o' mention, there are those that live too far to even have a chance, to consider alternatives. Most students would agree that the parking prices are hard on their budget, but not many students know who decides these prices or what the money goes toward. CSUSM prices are extremely high in comparison to other universities. Two relatively local examples are San Diego State University and University of California, Los Angeles. SDSU has a fee of $135 dollars per semester and UCLA charges $213.

The price was set once a three-tier increase in cost was implemented by those high up in the university, resulting in a sum of $293. Current campus pricing is justified based on thé fact that the school is self-paid. The university does not get any government funding and students are therefore forced to pay for themselves. As of now, however, students do not have to worry about price increases. The last price implication was the last in the tier, meaning that hopefully we won't have another increase for quite some time. While fees go toward the upkeep of the parking lots, many students have difficulty paying the current amount. Although parking permits will always remain a strain on student's wallets, they can at least find comfort in knowing that the money is helping maintain a beautiful and safe campus.

These misconceptions are hurtful to everyone, not only at the person that they are aimed at. Instances like this can be avoided if the knowledge of social justice was more readily shared on campus. Everyone at CSUSM should have social justice training, including all students, professors and faculty. I trust that if every person on campus were to attend social justice training, the university itself would become a true safe zone. CSUSM needs to acknowledge that nobody has the right to diminish the sexuality of another. I became aware of social justice in my sophomore year of college. Prior to that, I had never heard of the term and was initially unsure if I understood the concept. I began to gather a clearer perspective when I heard stories from my peers about ways in which they had been hurt emotionally by comments made from others at CSUSM. Scarring remarks had come from peers, professors and administration on campus. I had experienced such ignorance when a professor on campus had stated that bisexuality did not exist. This professor went on to explain that bisexuality Photograph courtesy of the Office of Communications. was a mere stepping-stone University parking prices high compared to others , A RE PARKING PRICES MUCH T OO EXPENSIVE?

It wasn't until later that I realized that nobody has the right to question or diminish a person's sexuality. That day in class, this professor had taught indifference to the students present. After dismissal, the students left the classroom and went into the real world with what they had learned, most likely spreading the pain that Office Phone: 760 - 750 - 6099 M- Office Fax- 780 - 750 - 3345 O ur office is located in Craven 3500 positioned throughout the C SUSM campus.

On Oct. 3, The Clarke Field House will host Puerto Rican Senator Sila González-Calderón as she leads a discussion on women and leadership. Discussion will fociis on how women's decisions and ways of communicating help them secure positions of leadership. González-Calderón plans to discuss how even though the Women's Liberation Movement took place in the '60s and '70s, women are still dealing with the same problem their mothers and grandmothers did, with some variations. The Women's Liberation Movement refers to Second Wave Feminism, a time in which the media helped to bring ideas of feminism to public consciousness. Though feminist beliefs varied between different groups, most of their goals were fundamentally the same - to achieve social and moral equality among the sexes. The Arts and Lectures series provides an opportunity for students to enrich their learning experience through cultural, scholastic and artistic events. In bringing diverse groups of people together for a common interest, the Arts and Lectures series hopes to encourage discussion and debate on current issues. Due to seating problems in the past, tickets are now required in order to attend all events. This event is free to all students who attend CSUSM. Tickets will also be open to staff and the general public for a small fee. To buy tickets go to https://www.csusnL edu/al/index.html. They are limited and will not be sold at the door. The Clarke Field House is located across the street from the University Village Apartments, on the comer of Campus Way and Campus View Drive.

The company's first comic book, "Telikos Protocol," was created by Jay Douglas and has been gaining rapid attention and fan base. Kickstarter.com described the comic book as "an explosive science fiction action-adventure comic." Creators Nav Gupta and Jay Douglas worked hard to make "Telikos Protocol" a huge success. They broke records with their quick popularity and have already begun their new project called "Cycops," which was introduced this summer. Peter Cooper and Adam Burn are artists at deviantART. The two men met Vanquish Interactive writers and clicked so well that they decided to join forces to publish internship opportunity for students these works, The comics are available in print and digital. The interactive print version teamed up with children's charities and sponsors throughout their launches. The kick-start campaign broke 50,000 in just 30 days . and as hoped, they were featured in Comic-Con in 2012 and 2013. At both events, they were greeted by dedicated fans dressed in costumes inspired by the comic. These artists are fast paced workers with strong initiative. They are looking for students that are interested in working as interns in social media. This is a fantastic group of people to work with and can provide students with a unique opportunity.

Writer Peter Hogan and artist Steve Parkhouse return to continue the tale of Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle, an extraterrestrial alien who tries to keep a low profile in the United States countryside. As he waits for contact from his home planet, Vanderspeigle cares for those needing treatment and assists in police investigations. This new story arc starts where readers left him, resting on a hospital bed. While Vanderspeigle recovers from the past adventure, another brews. The new storyline involves a unique set of characters, once again taking place in the little town of Patience. Both Hogan and Parkerhouse are British veterans in the comic industry. The two worked with the critically acclaimed creator Alan Moore in separate projects (America's Best Comics and the Bojefferies series, respectively). Now the duo combines their talents to create this sci-fi comic. Hogan's writing is a style that reminds readers of classic murder mystery novels and has a steady flow, even with the many twists. Parkerhouse's illustrations have interesting color palettes and he puts a lot of detail in the characters. For new readers, it would be best to start with the first collection, "Resident Alien Volume 1 : Welcome to Earth". The next step would be getting the zero issue before picking up this new book.

For some, it's the beginning of their first year and for others, the beginning of their last. Whether you're a freshman or a senior, the feeling of starting a new year is all the same. With a set list like this, anyone can look at the new school year with a positive attitude.

Pitchfork reported on the band's hinted hiatus in early 2009 which became true after their'tour with Jane's Addiction. This album contains 14 tracks, including the singles "Came Back Haunted," "Copy of A" and "Everything." The iTunes version has a special interview with Reznor while the deluxe version contains three remix tracks. For those that purchase through NIN.com, the band's official website, buyers i ave the option to receive the "audiophile" mastered version, a different mastering of the same album. On the website, mixer Alan Moulder said, "The Audiophile Mastered Version is more true to how the mixes sounded to us in the studio when we were working on the songs." According to Tom Baker, their mastering engineer, the standard master has a "loud" and edgier sound compared to the audiophile one. Check out Nine Inch Nails online for more on them and this new album. "Now You See Me" something thatfreshmanand seniors can relate to without feeling any sort of regret in the process. "Cherub Rock" by Smashing Pumpkins: , Instead of feeling hopeful, this upbeat song gives a sense of coming together. The feeling of being together, be it in the same class or of the same mindset, is a feeling anyone would want coming back to school. "Learn to Fly" by Foo Fighters: School has begun and now all anyone would want to do is soar through the skies to this song's heavenly riffs. But no one can fly by themselves at first. We look for a sign of life; looking to the sky to be saved. "I've Got A Feeling" by Directed by Louis Leterrier, the hit movie released earlier this May is now available on DVD and Blu-Ray.

An average of 90 students and faculty ride in the regular gasoline powered, full-sized shuttle van each day, and Parking Services is investigating the practicality ofpurchasing an eight-passenger electric cart to supplement the wheelchair accessible van. Fuel costs for Parking Services' vehicles amount to over $1,000 each month, and the decrease in operating costs for the electric cart are expected to offset its $10,000 price tag. Afinaldecision on the purchase of the Club Car cart won't be made "for quite some time," according to Dora Knoblock, Director ofParking Services.

Addi- The National Latino Research Center Benefits CSUSM Students, Faculty and Community I Amanda Bergara PRIDE STAFF WRITER CSUSM has established itself as the hub for nationwide research on Latino populations. The National Latino Research Center (NLRC) is a research facility established at CSUSM in August 1999. Currently, the NLRC is conducting a program evaluation for the Logan Heights Community Health Center, evaluating its Teenage Pregnancy Prevention Program. The NLRC's main purposes are to increase awareness of what are both known and unknown about Latino populations in the U.S., and to help increase the training and competence of researchers working within these fields. One of the NLRC's projects is the piloting of a Youth Research Institute, which studies the precise issues and barriers preventing students from completing high school. An intervention program will be implemented for high school students at risk of dropping out. Initially, this research will focus on Latino youth, and later expand to other minority and non-minority groups. The NLRC is also developing a proposal to conduct a national study on the health and well being of Latino populations. The NLRC's mission is "to promote valid and reliable data fHP | T™ £ | New Parking Cart tionally, their duties have changed from patrolling for "enforcement" to patrolling for "compliance." "We're not out to give citations," said Cindi Peters, Parking Services Field Supervisor. All written material referring to Parking Services will reflect these changes by late summer. The change towards becomregarding Latinos. Data collection, translation [services] and our other services increase our understanding of this numerically significant population," stated Soriano. The NLRC also provides services for the research community such as needs-assessment, surveys, web page creation for conferences, technical assistance, data analysis, and program evaluations. The NLRC benefits CSUSM students and faculty specifically by providing internships, service learning opportunities, research training programs, and jobs. Students can either work as research and program assistants or propose their own research efforts supervised by NLRC staff. Both students and faculty can obtain referrals from the NLRC for assistance in conducting their own research. Faculty may obtain assistance in securing funding for their research if it has relevance to Latino populations, as well as head research projects for the NLRC. Soriano said that a CSUSM faculty member is currently heading a research effort on Hispanics and mental health. NLRC research activities span the country, with current projects in New Haven, Conn., Miami, Fla. and Washington DC with local projects that include program evaluations of communitybased agencies like the teenage pregnancy prevention program in Logan Heights. The NLRC is located offcampus at 1 Civic Center Drive, Suite 150, San Marcos. For further information, contact the NLRC at (760) 750-3500 or nlrc@csusm.edu. The NLRC web site offers information on services and current research projects and can be found at www.csusm.edu/ nlrc.

Last semester's opening of the Parking/Services Information Booth also reflects a dedication to customer service. The information booth is often the first person-toperson contact visitors make with the university, and the booth is frequently stocked with maps and fliers on events. The booth does not handle money or have change, but Parking Services Representatives are there to explain the most efficient and compliant parking options available to visitors, students, and faculty/staff, said Peters. P residential Primary ally fair and civil. McCain said on Thursday that he was "no longer an active candidate for [his] party's nomination for president," but he would not endorse Bush as the Republican party nominee. The campaign between Bush and McCain was often heated. McCain had called for a clean campaign after advertisements were run in New York that alleged McCain opposed funds for breast cancer research. McCain also wanted Bush to endorse campaign finance reform, but Bush would not. Gore wants to ban "soft money" from the campaign and has challenged Bush to do the same. Gore wants them both to refuse any "soft money" and commit to two debates a week. Bush has not accepted the challenge to refuse "soft money", and so both candidates continue to accept excess money.

Sarah Smith PRIDE STAFF WRITER Although the presidential primary was the main attraction, California's propositions generated most of the controversies after Tuesday's primary election. Of the propositions on the ballot, Prop 21, which strengthened California juvenile justice statutes, and Prop 22, which prohibits gay majriages in the state, were of particular concern on campus. Prop 21 was strongly opposed by the CSUSM MEChA chapter, while the gay and lesbian club, the Pride Alliance, opposed Prop 22 Ricardo Favela, Vice President of MEChA, stated, "The passage of 21 was expected." When asked why the group opposed a bill that stiffens penalties for juvenile offenders, Favela stated, "There is absolutely no justification to increase penalties for only black and brown youth, especially after the crime rate has dropped for the seventh year in a row." The other controversial proposition, Prop 22, was also passed by a large margin. Professor Don Barrett, who on Monday passed out flyers urging students to vote "No on Knight", was not surprised by Prop 22 passing. Barrett stated, "The election overall was depressing. The strong passage of 22 was depressing since it was a pointless measure." Although Professor Barrett was opposed to Prop 22, he stated, "Gay marriages may not be in our best interests, but we should have the rights and privileges of married couples." Mike Sanella of the CSUSM College Republicans was pleased Sarah Smith overall by the elections. He said that by passing Propositions 21 PRIDE STAFF WRITER and 22, it proves that "California Imagine voting in your is in a middle point that can go in ajamas a any direction."

Instead, Arizona Democrats could register to vote online early or at the polls on Election Day. Early voting started on March 7 at 12:01am and ended on March 10 at 11:59pm. Online voters must enter their personal identification number and a few questions to verify their identity before being able to vote. Once they enter the voting portion, they just point and click on the candidate's name they want to vote for, or "yes" or "no" on propositions. When they are done voting they can print out an election certificate to commemorate the historic moment of voting online. The Voting Integrity Project based in Virginia filed a lawsuit against Arizona's online voting.

Ken Nwadakie, a freshman political science major and member of the Cougar track and cross-country teams, chose to attend CSUSM because of the influence of another individual. When Ken Nwadakie called up his high school rival, Marcus Chandler to find out where he planned to continue his running, Nwadakie was surprised to hear Chandler's answer, "California State University, San Marcos." Initially Nwadakie was uninterested in attending such a new and small campus, like CSUSM. Instead he had gained interest in USC, UCLA and Azusa Pacific, campuses with distinguished track andfieldprograms. However Nwadakie considered that if Marcus Chandler, a California State High Eighteen-year-old Ken's road to CSUSM School Mile champion, was attending was long and tenuous.

Is it fake? Is it a sport? Is it entertainment?" These questions can be asked of Beyond the Mat (Lions Gate Films), a movie that capitalizes on professional wrestling's growing appeal. Yes, I said appeal. I'm almost ashamed to admit it, but I enjoyed the f ilm. No, I am not a fan of professional wrestling. In the opening sequence, the f ilm's writer, director, and narrator, Barry Blaustein (co-writer of The Nutty Professor and Coming to America), asks these four questions that drive the film through its 1-hour 43-minutes, ultimately a behind-the-scenes look into the personal and professional lives of several wrestlers. Shot over three years as a doc- % \)t $ r t b e umentary, Beyond the Mat reveals the wrestler's lives as defined by opposing forces. They are loving fathers and masochistic showmen; idolized role models and crack addicts; virile warriors and broken-down old men. scalp. Foley is shown the video of his children's cries, leading him t o speak of retirement. I am left with no question about the sincerity of the footage, the reactions of Foley's children, and the reactions of Foley himself. At a low point in the movie, one segment shows melodramatic, overacting promoter Roland Alexander guiding struggling wrestlerwannabes (Mike Modest and Tony Jones) towards the big time of the WWF (World Wrestling. Federation). Alexander's desire to see his face on screen obviously motivates him to sob crocodile tears into the camera, saying, "These guys deserve a chance." Beyond the Mat is an immensely entertaining documentary for its glimpses of reality. It actually exposes the looming doubt that hangs over many of the details that stem from professional wrestling's scripted antics. This f ilm also rewards those who don't wait for the video to come out. The movie-going audience's participation is almost guaranteed, as die-hard fans alternately "pop" (wrestling jargon for an audience's explosive reaction) and heckle at the screen whenever a particularly motivating monologue or stunt is performed. There are some slowmoving parts, like when Jake "The Snake" reunites with his daughter, but on a 5-point scale I rate it a solid 4. Fortunately, the f ilm explores more believable territory when it follows the lives of Mick Foley, a.k.a. "Mankind," a.k.a "Cactus Jack," and his family. The (arguably) most clever and heartwrenching footage comes just over an hour into the movie when scenes of Foley being pummeled by "The Rock" are mixed with Rated R for violence and scenes of Foley's wife (Collette), strong language. and two children (both under the age of 5) cringing, crying, and eventually fleeing the arena. Later, backstage footage shows a blooddrenched Mick Fole> trying to comfort his kids saying, "It's a little boo-boo. (pause) It's big boo-boo."

Drown Mona ing Sarah Smith PRIDE STAFF WRITER White trash, inane one-liners, and stupid people entwine the dull plot ofDrowning Mona. This movie is rated PG-13 for some bad language, a small amount of sex, and unbelievable violence^ The movie opens with the drowning of Mona (played by Bette Midler) and leaves the viewer with nothing to look forward to. The chase to find the murderer begins; and of course the plot isn't simple, otherwise the viewer would be lucky enough to have the movie end in 20 minutes. The tangled plot contains flashbacks, too many Yugos, and irritating sub plots, one that exposes the mental neurosis of Rona (played by Jamie Lee Curtis). Casey Affleck (Ben Affleck's little brother) is one of the main stars of the movie, and one of the more stupid characters. His annoying baby voice made me cringe throughout the entire movie, and when off-screen, I dreaded the moment right when he came back on. Casey Affleck has also played in 200 Cigarettes, Chasing Amy and Good Will Hunting, among others. He will also be seen in Committed, a film scheduled for release later this year. The large well-known cast is die only reason this movie has any potential for success. Danny DeVito and Neve Campbell join Curtis, Affleck and Midler in a troupe with bad southern accents. This is thefirstproduced screenplay that Peter L. Steinfeld has written and hopefully his last. Director Nick Gomez has produced three other movies, none of which were well known and probably for good reason. Hopefully this movie will drown out of my memory, but this is unlikely since myfianceeloved it and collected several "I love my Yugo" stickers after the show.

Prop 1 A: Damned if you do. Damned if you don't. It's none of California's business. Indian gaming is a complicated issue. It brings both prosperity and problems to Native American communities. Prop 1A has one fatalflawthough. Whether you think that Indian gaming is good or bad, whether you're a capitalistic extremist who believes that the poor and oppressed are that way because they are lazy or you're an ideological communist who wants fair distribution of capital, IT'S NONE OF CALIFORNIA'S BUSINESS. Dictating what Native Americans can do and what they must do on their own land (or at least the scraps of land the government has given back to them) is continuing the rape of the Native American people. Even if it is within the law, it is no excuse. Much ofthe mountain of injustices European Americans has dumped on Native Americans was done within the law. We have already slaughtered them, taken their homeland, destroyed much of their culture, and attempted to strip them of their dignity. The VERY least that the non-Native Americans can do is to respect the remaining Native Americans and their dignity by acknowledgeing their autonomy on their own land. A no vote on 1A would have hurt the Native Americans, but anyone who walked away from the ballot box after voting yes feeling that they had done a good deed are fooling themselves and were tricked into supporting the ongoing exploitation. Onefinalthought to my brother and sister European Americans: since the Native Americans are 'Native', that makes u s'Alien' Americans. It's something to keep in mind when judging other more recent aliens. -Trevor Knudsen FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER: $20,000 CASH BONUS PLUS $50,000 ** t til* § 1 f i What else would yoaexpect from the world's toughest graduate school-walls ?

BE ALL YOII CAN B E vwww.goarmy.com �Dear Editors: I had to write regarding the recent remarks made by ASI Vice President Robert Radovich. I am really not sure where he gets off calling anyone ignorant with the ASI's BLATANT disregard for the governing rules. Last year, case in point, when I asked a member, "why did you give Christmas bonuses?" he replied that "it's a job, everyone gets a Christmas bonus." I am wondering in which fairy tale THAT exists! Let me point out a few things that may interest anyone who may care: -In the winter session, ASI fees are $45 or roughly 14% of the total fees for taking one class. -For Spring 2000, you paid $35 in "recreation fees"(I mean, aren't video games recreation, why is ASI paying for that??), $50 in ASI fees, and another $20 in student union fees...contrast that to local community colleges where paying for the "ASI savings" only costs you $10-20 (voluntarily) per semester and you get discounts on things you USE, like the BOOKSTORE (5-10% in fact). Student Representation at these colleges is $1 (Mesa) -How many people really benefit from free BBQ lunches?? Personally, I'd rather have some of my money back and go to the Dome as I don't eat hot dogs. -How many people would rather have a new video game over having some of these fees back? I don't have time to play games.. -I work so I can't take kickboxing or yoga or attend these concerts, other things I don't use... I don't want to criticize those students who serve on the ASI who really do care, but let's not lose sight of the fact WE ALL ARE FORCED to pay the fees while FEW reap the benefits.. Honestly, if you really want to make an impact, drop some of your fees and let people buy ASI stickers for discounts if they WANT them, then you'll be forced to work with a REAL budget rather than 1 million dollars to use as you see fit. "WE ARE SAVING YOU MONEY" is not what is happening for most students, it's "WE ARE TAKING YOUR MONEY AND BLOWING IT." - Stephanie Dexter A United Germany?

And since m arriage is only for b reeding, I guess that leaves out the whole idea that two people are u nited as one in the eyes of God, etc. The advertising campaign for Prop 22 set a new standard of contemptibility. To have a teacher say she wants to send a message to her students that m arriage is only between a man and woman is asinine. A teacher's r esponsibility is to teach acceptance and to celebrate d ifferences, not to segregate and dehumanize c ertain members of the population. If you were a student in that t eacher's class and she told you homosexuality is wrong and your mother or uncle was gay, how would you feel? If you voted yes on Proposition 22 you are not protecting the sacred i nstitution of m arriage. All you are proving is t hat you are a bigot. Jesus loves everyone.

The Arts Building will have a 250-seat auditorium, eclipsing the campus' present 145-seat auditorium in ACD 102. Additionally, there will be al50-seat rehearsal theater with a stage large enough to host a 30-piece chamber orchestra. Still a third performance arena will be a "Black Box Theatre." The versatile theater will be a wide-open space where seating can be varied for each performance transforming the stage from the traditional prosceniumstyle to a thrust-style, or a theater-in-the-round. The theatre will also have sprung-typeflooringfor dance and movement classes. "It gives the students the opportunity to experiment and t o be in different theater settings," said Decker. The new Arts building will also have stations for ceramics, painting, and sculpture; music practice rooms; video editing bays; a recording studio; a multimedia studio. The new Science building will have specific laboratories for Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, as well as five computer labs assigned to the Computer Science and Math departments. Decker said the current Science Hall will continue to be used as a laboratory building, but the new Science building will house "the next generation of labs for us." "North County has an incredible number of companies performing pharmacological and biological work: you have to respond to those sorts of things," said Decker. The Construction Company of Swinerton and Walberg, described by Decker as "a regional powerhouse in construction," is the "apparent low-bidder" with a bid of $20,670,000 for the two buildings. Swinerton and Walberg completed construction on the campus* newest classroom facility, University Hall, in Fall 1999 for a final cost of nearly $12.5 million. Construction on the new buildings will not begin until after the apparent low-bid is declared official, and the construction company posts the appropriate bonds. The "highly formalized process" takes six to eight weeks, said Decker. The new buildings, with an expected completion date of May 2003^ are paid for primarily through state-appropriated funds. Decker said, "We're still trying to figure out some additional funding" but quickly dispelled any concerns that construction could halt mid-way because of a lack of funds: "These buildings will be built."

More disabled parking with a ramping and elevator plan is due in 2002. In regards to disabled parking for Fall 2000, Leiter stated, "Hopefully, there will be enough." Campus Improvements By Mike Spangler PRIDE NEWS EDITOR CSU San Marcos received $200,000 for "Minor Capital Improvements" which qualify as costs under $250,000. The next improvements for students on how to negotiate the "Chutes and Ladders" of the campus for the year 2000 will come out of these State funds. New maps and signs will replace the "You Are Here" maps already on campus and will direct campus users to the nearest elevator. Users will see how best to travel from "The Dome" to the third floor of University Hall. A student or guest will also be able to download the map from the university web site. Signage for "Accessible Paths of Travel" has topped the list of university improvements due to the efforts of John Segoria, Director of Disabled Student Services, and Purchasing Agent, Cynthia Botta. A new sidewalk will replace the existing gravel pathway that students use t o walk between the student parking lots and the buildings of the university. The sidewalk will also run along the south side of Craven Road up to its intersection with Twin Oaks Valley Road. At a cost of $85,000, the new sidewalk is intended for completion in the summer 2000. * �Guest Speaker Talks about Germany, the Reunification, and the European Union Sarah Smith PRIDE STAFF WRITER What would it be like if California and Mexico combined to form one country? It would be comparable to the fall of the Berlin wall and the union of East and West Germany. Imagine the amount of money that California would have to invest in Mexico to bring up the Mexican economy to the level of Califonia; this is what the former West Germany has put into the former East Germany. Margit Haberle of the German Consulate General's Office in LosAngeles spoke to an audience of sixty on Wednesday, February 23, 2000 in a lecture sponsored by the CSUSM German Club and German Department. Astrid Ronke, a German Professor at CSUSM was hoping the lecture would bring some attention to the German department and make CSUSM more globally diverse. Haberle's lecture focused on Germany and the European Union and "what has changed since the fall of the Berlin Wall ten years ago." To make the concept of the combining of East and West Germany easier for the students to understand, Haberle compared the union to California and Mexico becoming one country. There is also the problem of Mexican workers who are welltrained workers but aren't as skilled in new technology as Californians are. East Germans has the same problem as Mexico and West Germany has had to train many workers in new skills. One of the benefits of the union between East and West Germany is that they all speak CSU May Lower Graduation Requirements to 120 Units (CSU News Release) The Trustees heard a short presentation on lowering the CSU graduation requirement from 124 to 120 semester units at the January 2000 CSU Board of Trustees Meeting. They are scheduled for a discussion and probable vote on the resolution, which requires a change in Title V, at the May Trustees meeting. Both the CSU Cornerstones Imple mentation Plan, a strategic plan for CSU's future, and the 1999/00 Govenor's budget recommended that the CSU shorten the time it takes a student to graduate. The 124-unit requirement in the CSU is linked to a four-unit physical education activity requirement imposed in mid-century but which most CSU campuses no longer embrace. CSU San Marcos Graduations Requirements state, "Six units of physical activity coursework and four units of intercollegiate sports activity will be allowed towards a degree at CSUSM." The CSU press release stated that it is particularly incongruent to require 124 units at the CSU, when a normal course load x>f 15 units over four years would still leave a student four units short of graduation. The University of California, the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, and most universities across the nation use 120 units as a minimum unit requirement for graduation. the same language, although there was some difference in what different professions were termed. Germany is also a member of the European Union, which is important because it is "too complicated to have so many separate entities in a world market," said Haberle. The Deutsch Mark will no longer exist One of the major changes in in 2002 because of the creation of Germany is the move of the capital the Euro. "from Bonn to Berlin. By putting the Prior to the reunification, it was capital in Berlin, East Germans feel uncommon for Germans to invest more involved in the union between in the stock market because it was east and west.

At universities that have on-campus housing, the problem is more Funny images of the Animal House movie have given way to the new reality that binge drinking is no laughing matter. In the past, college campuses across the nation were not concerned about alcohol issues on campus. However, social attitudes have changed over the past 20 years and in a 1997 Harvard University Study on college drinking it found that "84% of all students drank during the school year and almost half (44%) of all students were binge drinkers." The study focused on 140 state and private universities, but did not include commuter campuses such as CSU San Marcos. Despite CSUSM's status as a commuter campus, alcohol problems do exist in the student body. visible." Counseling and Psychological Services therapists Ph.D. Leslie Wilson and Ph.D. Michelle Boutte Burke commented on state of drinking issues on the CSUSM campus. Current data on health problems and counseling referrals due to alcohol and drugs could not be obtained, but Dr. Wilson said that it would surprise her if, "some of the people seen at Health Services were being seen for problems caused by alcohol." that trying to eliminate drinking on campus was not helpful, but rather changing the culture of drinking was key to stemming drinking problems. parking tickets," Dr. Burke said. When asked if it made any difference whether or not a campus was dry, Dr. Burke stated, "You can have alcohol with approval from (CSUSM) President Gonza"Colleges with high binge lez.

"We must try and influence people early." However, he did agree that the campus' current status as a commuter makes the issue not as significant as it would be on other campuses. When asked to sum up the problem in a word both therapists said, "Access." As this school moves from being a commuter campus to a campus with housing these issues will likely take a higher precedent. However, only time will tell if CSUSM can change the culture of drinking. �Free Whether Sworn or Community Service, Officers Provide Campus Safety Tay-Sachs Testing on C ampus Johnny Coogan PRIDE STAFF WRITER Victoria B. Segall PRIDE FEATURE EDITOR In the general public, 1 out of 250 people may be a carrier for the gene. If both parents of the child are carriers of the disease, there is a 25% chance that their child may be afflicted with Tay-Sachs. On Tuesday, February 29, CSUSM's Pre-Health Society, in collaboration with the California Tay-Sachs Disease Prevention Program, will hold Tay-Sachs Testing, free and open to the student body, faculty, staff and general public. The rate of Tay-Sachs occurrence is especially high in European-Jewish and French-Canadian ethnic populations. In these ethnic groups, 1 out of 27 people may be a carrier of the Tay-Sachs gene. "However this disease can occur with anyone, regardless of ethnic population," says Dr. Joanne Pedersen, a health profession advisor here on campus. "Tay-Sachs is one of the most agonizing diseases to die from," comments Dr. Pedersen. "This Prevention Program tries to test as many adults of child-bearing age, so if you're a carrier you'll be aware and know the risks." The Prevention Program is a public service supported by the California Department of Health. Tay-Sachs disease causes a breakdown in the central nervous system due to an absent enzyme that normally breaks down toxic fatty substances in the brain. The disease strikes very young children, usually at the age of 6 months. As the child's age progresses, the child loses mental capabilities and motor skills, and overall health begins to deteriorate. Since there is no cure for Tfcy-Sachs, a child with the disease rarely lives past four or five years of age. "The mission of the California Tay-Sachs Prevention Program is to screen people, not only in high risks populations, but to test as many [individuals] as possible because anybody can be a carrier," says Dr. Pedersen. The free Tay-Sachs screening includes a simple blood test and a confidential medical history form completed by the individual being tested. Testing will be performed by licensed medical professionals in Commons 206 from 10:00am 2:00pm on Tuesday, February 29, 2000. Where is Campus Security? Over one thousand students attend classes at night, Monday through Thursday, after 6:00pm. Many students worry that the University isn't doing all it can to protect them. Others believe that security should be more visible so students won't feel vulnerable when walking to their cars. "We have six sworn officers, a lieutenant, and a chief that are stationed at this school. We are a functioning police station right here on campus. We do work with the other law enforcement agencies in the area but we are our own entity," says Sworn Officer Mario Sainz.

Leadership Campus Web Site User-Unfriendly? 2000 Andrea Cavanaugh PRIDE OPINION EDITOR CSUSM hosted a gathering of North County community leaders on Thursday, February 17, to celebrate the inclusion of Leadership 2000 into the university's Extended Studies program. The training program for community leaders has found its "natural home" on the San Marcos campus this year, according to CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez. The program has produced more than 200 graduates since it was established in 1986. The mayors of San Marcos and Escondido are among the program's alumni, as well as many of North County's corporate and community leaders. The program was devised to train civic leaders, based on the idea that citizens can instigate positive change in their communities. Gonzalez sees the inclusion of Leadership 2000 into the university as a "natural fit" because "the university's mission statement says that we will be part of the community, and this is a very good example of what we can do." CSUSM will provide curriculum material, faculty support, and classroom space in its commitment to host the program. Leadership 2000 is accepting applications for twenty spots available for this year 's program, which begins on April 11 and runs through May 23.

State legislature has many initiatives to be put on the ballot for the general election in November. Of all the initiatives put on the ballot, Proposition 19 is the only measure that has a direct implication to the California State University system. Proposition 19 states: "MURDER. BART AND CSU PEACE OFFICERS. LEGISLATURE INITIATIVE AMENDMENT.

A 4YES' vote means that a person convicted of a second degree murder charge against a peace officer working for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) or the CSU system will face longer prison terms than what the current law provides. A NO vote means that the punishment remains the same, confinement for 15 years to life. The new measure will increase sentencing to 25 years to life, or life confinement without possible parole, depending on the circumstances involved in the case. A person who is convicted of a seconddegree murder charge upon a CSU campus police officer would result in the same punishment handed down to those who commit the same offense against all other peace officers across California. What began as an initiative passed by elected officials in the state legislature, Prop 19 is now up for voter approval. It provides CSUSM's peace officers with the same protection as officers at UCSD. Currently, a person would receive less time for murdering a CSU peace officer than they would from murdering a peace officerfromthe UC system. A clause in the proposition states that all people must aid a peace officer in apprehending a suspect, or else face a $1000fine.At any given moment, a campus peace officer could ask for your assistance and you may have to comply or face heavyfines.The argument is that we could be subject to assist a peace officer without having a weapon to protect ourselves. fefe, s u m m e r f s e s j ^ w s f f t a w a i ' f ^ | j § w eeksy6 credits, typical S ^yftion, room & board, b ooks/ a nd airfare) c osts M y 1: May 22~June 30 * Term 2: July 3-August 11 www.outreach.hawaii.edu •toll-free 1 (800) 862-6628 University of H awaii at Manoa, Summer S essions FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER: $20,000 CASH BONUS PLUS $50,000 FOR COLLEGE.

BE ALL YOU CAN BE: www.goarmy.com �6 Tuesday, February 29, 2000 OPINION DEAR EDITORS: I was very concerned about the article in "The Pride" about Pastor Smock. Certainly, he has the right to free speech and his own opinions, but 1 would like the student body to know that not all Christians are like Pastor Smock. As Simona Groza said in the article, Christianity is about God's love and forgiveness. It is about undetstanding His gift of Christ and wanting to have a personal relationship with Him. In fact,Jesus warned against judging others. Unfortunately, I was not at school the day that Pastor Smock spoke, so I only have the newspaper article to go on. I have been a Christian for 19 years and I would like to state that, based on the article, I disagree with almost all of what Smock said, and especially with the way that he presented himself. As a commuter school with an average student age higher than that at most universities, I do not think that CSUSM is what I would call a "party school." I take personal offense at the comment that students here "don't have the grades or the money to attend a better school." I have a 4.00 GPA and I could have gone to any school I wanted to - but here I am. As to Smock's religious opinions, I think he may be mis-interpreting the Bible. Some biblical scholars believe that the passages in the Bible that speak against homosexuality do not refer to homosexuality itself but the violence with which these acts were committed during that particular time period. As to his opinion about women I have several things to say. First of all, there were many important women in both the Old Testament and the New Testament, some being very close friends of Jesus. Secondly, most of the things written by Paul in I Corinthians, which sexists often use to support their beliefs, refer specifically to the women at the church in Corinth. Thirdly, when Paul uses the phrase "wives submit to your husbands" in Ephesians and Colossians, he is very clear that this relationship goes both ways and he tells husbands to love their wives as much as Christ loves us - and that is a lot! Funny, how men seem to leave that part out, isn't it? Maybe we can learn something from Pastor Smock. We can learn that when we are confronted with people we do not agree with, we should not reduce ourselves to their level. We should try to understand them, and why they are saying what they are saying, and then we will be able to intelligently discuss with them why we disagree. We can learn that one outspoken person does not necessarily represent the larger group that they claim to be a part of. I hope that this event will not drive people farther away from the truth, but give the Christians on campus the opportunity to share with people about God's love. Eye to Eye with Pastor Jed Smock Sonia Gutierrez As I read through Adra Hallford's article, "Students Debate with Street Preacher: Mocking Pastor Smock," in last weeks newspaper edition, I disagreed with most of Smock's bible based philosophies about keeping women in their proper place and his issues on homosexuality; however, to my surprise I agreed with him on his views of fraternities. Smock's comment that infuriated me the most was a homophobic law he postulated at the scene. Pastor Smock's solution against homosexuality consisted ofpassing a law that would enforce "homo patrols or something." The fact that Smock says, "or something," goes to show that he simply rambles off on a tangent as he speaks and tries to defend his standpoint. When Hallford informs the reader about Preacher Jed Smock being a professor at University of Wisconsin, I was blown away.

Katrina Chase ASI board members take time CSUSM Student out of our day each month to serve Study Abroad Advisor DEAR EDITOR: I am wondering if anyone else on campus notices the lack of customer service a student experiences? I am writing this after a poor experience in the library. I approached an older gentleman that was behind the counter and asked him for a book on reserve. His response was that I would have to "look it up on the computer to see if it's in"., ok. In all my experiences at the library, I had NEVER been told this. So, I looked it up. Unfortunately, the computer said the book was "missing" (as you can guess, it wasn't). So, he told me it was missing, without even taking the nano-second to LOOK, and I went about looking for another text. During this time, another student from my class approached him about an article for another class, same problem, look it up, even though the article was on RESERVE. Again, a new experience for her at the library. With this experience in mind, I decided to make a list of "good" and "bad" customer service areas on campus (I encourage anyone to add, or even disagree - it is opinion after all. Good: 1. Bookstore - yes, we hate the prices, it sucks..BUT - there IS ALWAYS someone there to help.

Bad: 1, Library - read comments above. % l ie ^rtbe thought to myself, "Yikes! I sure would not want to be sitting in his classroom listening to him preaching solutions as to how to reform the world." Hallford's quotations serve as shocking revelations of how people, from young to older students, think at CSUSM's campus. The few minutes I was able to presence his speech. It reminded me of a circus better yet a Jerry Springer show although I still do not who was entertaining who, Pastor Smock to his crowd or vice versa. Hallford provides punch lines as quotations that kept beating at me as I read through her article. Two quotations I found extremely offensive and disturbing. "[F]rat boys use philanthropy to cover their guilt for their boozing and whoremongering" replied Smock after a TKE member defended their philanthropic endeavors. Of course, I have a aberration for Smock's word choice to refer to women as whoremongers. However, I have to admit, for once, I completely agreed with Pastor Smock, as I read through his disruption of peace. After reading scholarly research on college fraternities and the strong correlation to gang rape incidents, I was disgusted with the "fiats" sexist brotherhood bond. According to studies, youngfraternitymembers, not only mix alcohol and sexual intercourse, they desensitize from female sensibility, meaning lack of respect for women's bodies. Hallford's nejct quotation shows the senility behind fraternities bravado including CSUSM's, as one TKE member "assured Smock that, 'This guy [Aguallion] never gets laid.'"Amaya's response goes to show how vulgar and how fraternity members perceive sexual intercourse, as an activity that satiates the frats sexual yearnings. Ironically, he defames his own brother and implies he is not a "whoremonger" and is not a sexual prowess. Amaya's joke only reinforces Pastor Smock's views on sexual intercourse and males. TKE member used the word "laid" as if performing sexual intercourse is a mark of male virility and solely for male gratificationwhere the female is subservient and does all the work. students a free barbeque lunch. ASI has developed a process to fund activities that clubs wish to host that does not allow for any frivolous spending of your fees. WE ARE SAVING YOU MONEY ASI offers many classes such as yoga, kickboxirig, and many other extracurricular activities. ASI offers discounts on movie and theme park tickets. WE ARE SAVING YOU MONEY ASI planned many concerts and activities for your entertainment. • ASI brought new video games into the study lounge to accomodate your breaks in between classes. ASI has developed a childcare facility that has made the lives of student parents easier. With the addition of our new childcare representative, our fundraising for the childcare facility is at an all time high. There are so many things that go on in ASI that go unnoticed everyday. Most students do not take the time to explore what your student government is accomplishing for you. It is those students who wait for something to go wrong and then condemn the whole organization that bring down the morale of ASI and make our jobs that much more difficult. I am a very active student here on campus as well as an executive member on the ASI board and I pride myself on the accomplishments that our ASI has done. In the future I ask that students who are a eager to criticize the actions of others had better get more information on the issue than just their own opinion. WE ARE FOR STUDENTS, WE ALWAYS HAVE BEEN FOR STUDENTS, WE ARE STUDENTS. 2. Cashiers office - Anyone stood in this line to pay for an ID with 1-2 people ahead of you and waited 20 minutes?

With that, I 'll end this. I would like to throw something out there for everyone that seems to describe this campus, "..institutions often tip toward serving the needs of the donor instead of those of the lesser party (for example, schools can come to serve teachers or ADMINISTRATORS, rather than the STUDENTS)." ok, so I capitalized where I shouldn't have, the bottom line is the administration doesn't seem to care about our convenience in some areas and they are here for us, the students - something to think about.

In only 14 words, Proposition 22 states that "only a marriage between a man and a woman shall be valid or recognized." This is also termed the Knight proposition because it was written by State Senator Pete Knight. Same sex marriage is currently not allowed by California law. But the initiative will prohibit recognition of same sex marriages performed outside of California. Proponents of Proposition 22 claim that "it's simply about preserving the sacred institution of marriage, which by God's design is between opposite-sex couples," according to prop22yes.com. But opponents say the'TCnight initiative is unfair, divisive and intrusive," according to noonknight.com. This has been one of the most controversial propositions in this years election. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, 22 is ahead in the public opinion polls. As of February 8th, 52%of Californians would vote yes and 39% no with 9% still undecided. become worse as a result of similar bills. This leads opponents to believe that if 22 is passed they won't be able to visit a sick partner in the hospital, collect on inheritance or a partners pension, take bereavement leave, file joint bankruptcy, and will make it even more difficult to adopt children. According to no on Knight advocates, 22 "doesn't defend marriage, it attacks families." According to a commercial sponsored by no on Knight, it doesn't matter if a person is against same sex marriage, what matters is that 22 fSictlifBi YES"22 f « >* rTfly rights in n t W states havp will "add more government interference in our lives." The cast members of NBC's Will and Grace also made a commercial to protest this proposition. The actor who plays Will on the series says by voting yes or no on this proposition, the voter will be voting "either for or against basic rights." This issue is also dividing the religious community. 400 clergy members spent the weekend of February 12th and 13th in prayer and protest against 22. Reverend J. Edwin Bacon, Jr. said this issue is made from "intolerance and bigotry." But other religious leaders and churches have spoken in support for voting yes on 22. The Mormon church has strongly encouraged members in California and elsewhere to send money and work hard for the measure. Hie Catholic church has also donated large amounts of money to the cause. According to prop22yes.com, this measure is "simply about preserving the sacred institution of marriage, which by God's design is between opposite-sex couples." Proponents focus on the fact that this measure is only 14 words and that there is "no legal double talk, no hidden agenda" (taken from the Voter Information Guide). They claim that it does not take away rights to inheritance or to visit partners in the hospital. Proponents say it is just common sense and a way to keep marriage from being redefined. CSU San Marcos students are also divided on this issue. Many who will vote yes on the issue sighted religious beliefs as the origin of their decision. A 24-year-old. Communications student said that it was the "Catholicism in [him] jumping out" and that "marriage is for procreation." A24-year-old psychology student said that "having [married homosexuals] come into the state is the same as letting them do it in California." On the side of the opposition, students mostly believe as Joy Childers said, that we need to "keep our eyes on ourselves and deal with our own wrongs." It was decided that it is a person's choice what he or she wants to do. Proponents say it is a simple proposition of common sense while opponents say it is going to spread fear and intolerance. On May 7th the decision will be made. Dear fellow CSUSM students, As you know, 2000 is an election year.

The Pride, I had mixed emotions as I read Joel Montes comments in the February 14 issue about the CSUSM Mission Statement. I was quite pleased to see a student speak out after taking the time to learn about the University mission. However, I was disappointed that there were some misunderstandings in Mr. Montes' message. My response is intended to demonstrate that administrators do read The Pride, do value student opinion, and to clear up some of the inaccuracies. 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday nights, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Friday, and 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The library expands to 76 hours per week during peak demand times such as final examinations by staying open later weekday nights and longer hours on the weekend. asked to call the individual office and try to schedule special arrangements. Most offices can accommodate students with special needs. Transfer credits - The University has agreements with all of the nearby higher education institutions to ensure that credits transfer into and out of CSUSM. However, if Mr. Montes is referring to degree requirements, there is little CSUSM alone can do to ensure that a student transferring out of the University has credits accepted at the other campus. We do all we can to work with students who bring credits to CSUSM and provide a number of options for flexibility. Most of the time, we can work it out! Computer Lab hours — The computer lab has also experimented with longer hours and had the same experience as the library. Current hours are 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday Library hours ~ The library has and 12 Noon to 6 p.m. Sunday. tried extending its hours, only to Hours of other services — Many find too few students taking advantage of the longer hours to make student services are open for addiUnits required to graduate ~ the cost worthwhile.

That change requires the approval of the CSU Trustees and is now being considered. Until a change is made, some of the degrees at CSUSM require as many as 132 units. This is difficult to change for a variety of reasons, including accreditation. Even if the Trustees approve a reduction, it will take several years to implement the change. Shifting spending away from student life ~ I think students and administrators have identified creating more student life activities as a priority for our young campus. While some money is spent on barbeques and concerts, it is not enough to remedy even a few of the concerns Mr. Montes has noted. We must maintain a balance of activities on the campus and that balance must include cultural arts events and other student activities designed to be fun. I n conclusion, I 'd like to remind all students that the administration appreciates hearing comments and suggestions. Perhaps the best way is via e-mail by using the link on the campus web page. Input can also be made to individual offices by telephone, e-mail or in person. . Recent surveys find CSUSM students to be more satisfied with their experience on this campus, in general, than the average level of satisfaction of all CSU students. While that is gratifying, we know we must always strive to improve, and we thank Mr. Montes for his comments.

Woodward A self-audit of Parking Services conducted last spring along with a crowded upper faculty lot (Lot E) reveal much needed changes for CSUSM parking this year. The first group to feel these adjustments has been the "Special Medical" students of Lot E. Parking Services has changed their policy and will only issue two-week permits for students with minor injuries, for example. For anything more than two weeks, the student must have their doctor's approval to obtain a special or permanent permit from the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). "We used to receive over 100 applications. But since we changed our policy, w e've only had about 8-10 requests," notes Robert Williams, Parking Services Office Manager. Both Williams and Parking Coordinator Dora Knoblock acknowledge that this response indicates that there may have been. some abuses of the system in the past. The Roger Hedgecock radio program aired live from the CSUSM Dome patio on Wednesday, October 27, from 3 to 6 pm. Approximately 50 students, faculty, and staff members gathered on the patio to listen to and to take part in the 3-hour broadcast. Roger Hedgecock, KOGO AM 600 radio show host, and former mayor of San Diego, interviewed several notable people from the San Marcos campus and community. PRIDE EDITOR Vendors for the university like copy repair services do not pay for the parking in the upper faculty/staff lot. The one exception, Aztec Shops, will retain their parking privileges in Lot E because they are the only vendors who do pay for parking permits. Of the 16 teaching associates on campus, 7 have faculty/staff permits, 6 have student permits, and 4 have none, as of Oct. 28. In response to the recent GEW faculty parking grievances, Knoblock noted, "If we extend parking privileges in Lot E towards the GEW faculty, we would have to do the same for all 16 teaching associates, and not just those seven." (Other research by Parking Services points directly to the State Controller iji the Chancellor's Office where teaching associates are not considered nor recognized as "faculty") Williams and Knoblock also spoke of the future of Parking Services in terms of more lots. Parking Services hopes to relieve some of the strain by opening a new lot behind Lot E by Fall 2000. The area behind .FCB will hopefully be leveled, quarried down by the aggregates company to the level of the current upper faculty lot.

Marks called the student newspaper a "tabloid," and stated that The Pride reports campus events unfairly. He claimed that he had "a petition against the Pride" filled with 200 signatures. Naholowaa and Cahill responded by encouraging Marks to write letters to the Editors or articles for the paper. Marks refused, stating that he "wouldn't write for a tabloid" and would rather submit to a better paper like the North County Times. A member of the audience, Juniata Greenlee, took the microphone and said that YAF was encouraging students to sign a petition without properly explaining what the petition was for. She also said, "You can call the Star a tabloid, but I 've looked through the paper, and it isn't a tabloid." College Republican Michael Sannella had also wanted to know why student clubs must pay high ad rates for space in the See Hedgecock pg. 4 A crowd quickly gathered around the stage as soon as the 5:00pm newsbreak concluded and Hedgecock was back on the air.

"Hey, blondie," one of the men said, provocatively, touching her hair. "We're going to take you home with us," the other one said, moving closer. "Get away from me," she yelled, before one of the men grabbed her from behind, and she began to defend herself. This scenario could have ended tragically in sexual assault or murder, except that the two men were CSUSM police officer Mario Sainz and SDSU Police Captain Steve Williams, and the woman was a student in the Rape Aggression Defense, or R.A.D., class. At the R.A.D. graduation on October 22, the students demonstrated their skills against their instructors in three progressively more intense scenarios designed to simulate possible real-life situations. ous situations, she said.

One person watching the simulations commented as she watched the mother-daughter duo successfully defend themselves, "I feel sorry for the guy who breaks into their house." �OPINION 2 Monday, November 1, 1999 Parking and the CSUSM Mission Statement. I have no doubt that the group of grad students who TEACH GEW classes are in fact TEACHers. The two letters to the editors from GEW teachers provide more than sufficient evidence that they in fact teach. However, I do not agree with the logic used for stating that they should have the ability to park in the staff lot. The logic given is that they have a great deal of material to carry, and should be able to park closer to their classes* so they do not have to carry their heavy load very far. If this is the reason for having special parking privileges; permits to the upper parking lot should be given out by backpack weight, not status as a teacher or student. Furthermore, as teachers, they have access to offices, where they may leave their belongings and class materials, significantly reducing the amount that they must carry; students do not have that luxury, which suggests that students should have the upper lot, and teachers should be relegated to the furthest parking spaces. Certainly as college teachers they are smart enough to figure how to manage the loads they must carry through; multiple trips to their car, using a luggage cart like many students have already figured out to do, or using their office as storage units, and the staging grounds for preparing for class that they are intended to be. Clearly the reason for separate parking for staff and students is not due to the distance from parking lot to classroom or the weight of class materials, but to provide faculty and staff with special privilege and status not afforded to students. This is in direct violation of CSUSM's mission statement (http://www.csusm.edu DEAR EDITORS: DEAR EDITORS: /mission statement.html). The mission statement states, "CSU, San Marcos promotes a collegia! relationship between students and faculty. . The word collegial means to be "characterized by equal sharing of authority" and the separation of students and staff into the privileged and unprivileged in terms of something as simple as parking contributes to inequality and therefore an unequal relationship. Either the parking lots at CSUSM should be open to everyone regardless of their status as student, staff, faculty, visitor; or the mission statement should be revised to reflect the administration's preferential treatment of staff, rather than the students for which the campus exists to serve. d jl Gonzalez for President Alexander Gonzalez has what it takes to be President of the United States. As reported by Samantha Cahill in The Pride's October 18th issue; Gonzalez, on October 11th, indicated that it could not be determined if the vandalism of Science Hall was aimed at the poster of Che Guevara. Then when questioned further, he stated that he did not know if the paint and egg would have been on the building had the poster not been there. Gonzalez is right, there is no way for him to know if the vandalism of Science Hall was related to the poster being there, or if it simply was a coincidence that the poster was there when the vandalism took place, in the location the vandalism took place. Furthermore the fact that a poster of a man who represents an unpopular and hated ideology was vandalized at the same time as Science Hall does not necessarily .mean that the poster was the cause of the vandalism. It simply may have been in the way of the intended vandalism, and it is a coincidence that the vandalism took place on a part of the building where there was a poster hanging. Gonzalez clearly has demonstrated the ability to be technically accurate when questioned about controversial current events, just as Bill Clinton did when questioned by Kenneth Starr in regards to his relationship with Monica Lewinsky. Bill Clinton's popularity has increased since that event, and I 'm sure that Gonzalez would be at least as successful and popular given his similarities to President Clinton.

Unlike most films dealing with the relationship between man and nature, Mononoke Hime does not oversimplify nature-destroying humans as one-dimensionally evil. On the contrary, the humans of the town are people rejected from normal society (including prostitutes and lepers) who work hard to create a better life for their community. To survive, the people destroy the forest. street puppeteer, he must find a "day job." Craig's own wife, Lotte (Cameron Diaz), views him as little more than a pet sitter, while in the meantime Maxine (Catherine Keener), his obsession-at-first-sight, turns "using" a man into a fine art. Then one day, as it must, Craig's luck begins to change. He discovers a mysterious door that leads directly to a portal into the mind and body of John Malkovich. With a little practice, Craig learns to manipulate Malkovich as he would a puppet. For the first time in his life, Craig nibbles on the edges of success, only to find that its sweetness lingers for a moment, then is gone. Though flawed with gaps, the film is both funny and grotesque, and it is filled with surprising performances, especially John Malkovich's brilliant portrayal of himself. Not quite Science Fiction nor Fantasy, the film works best when it doesn't try to explain itself. Of course the viewer must suspend reality to accept that a portal into another human being's body and mind can exist, and I had no problem with that. I did have a problem with the distracting, second-rate-science-fiction explanation for the portal given towards the end of the movie. The final quarter almost ruins the film, but not quite. I recommend Being John Malkovich, but with a wince. Rated R.

There are about fifty members between the cross-country teams and track combined, and their ages range from 17 to 26. The team is guided by Head coach Steve Scott, CrossCountry coach Joe Keating, and Track coach Wess Williams. Only in its first year of existence, CSUSM has the best college track and cross-country teams in San Diego County, according to Scott. At the recent Stanford Invite, the women's team finished 15 out of 31 schools, and the men finished 8 out of 25. Scott commented: "there was a lot of competition there, and it was a difficult course. There were a lot of top^ teams competing." Right now, CSUSM is ranked 13 in NAIA competition. Scott says that in the future the school Simon Frasier is "our competition" because they will compete in Regionals against CSUSM. Scott says that the men have a really good chance of making Nationals this year. The Imani Rupert CSUSM men's soccer team is finally here. Khled Al-shafie coaches the team and captains Tony Zepeda and Fernando Diaz. Al-shafie also coaches for the Vista Storm (a youth soccer league) and the San Pasqual High School team. Team member Randy Erman, is also the ASI Arts and Sciences representative, and had helped start the soccer team. When asked about the soccer team, Erman said, "They're a great group of guys. It's a lot of eral functions. They give members a chance to discuss goals and objectives and to keep updated on current events.

I put down the telephone, walked into my bedroom, and dressedfor the opera." From the Diary of Catherine Armas-Matsumoto Vw ciopes lo$ dd d® lot. it^di- Hastes I would be naive to compare my first opera experience with performances in the great opera centers, but for this novice, it was a perfect introduction to opera. The Western Opera Theatre, San Francisco Opera's touring company, comprised of young artists, performed Mozart's lighthearted masterpiece Don Giovanni, on Friday, October 15, as a part of the 1999 -2000 season at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido. m m w ta r ev d English subtitles flashed on a screen above the stage, translating the Italian lyrics. The twenty-seven-piece orchestra played vivaciously, and the cast skillfully displayed their talents. The costumes and stage design were modest in compari d h f por ison to operas I have seen on PBS, but they were no less effective, given the nature of a traveling production that moves from one city to the next. The lighting and special effects added to the haunting scenes with Don Giovanni in the cemetery—especially as he falls into thefiresof hell. From the dark grandeur of the Commandant's scene to the daintiness of e D h l lste h Zerlina' arias, the performance exhilarated my soul and unlocked the desire to experience more "high culture." Originally performed at the National Theatre, Prague, on October 29,1787, the opera revolves around the womanizing O 0 e t o i > d® L e v g a s s . Don Giovanni (Phillip Horst), who attempts to seduce Donna Anna (Twyla J. Robinson). Her father, the Commandant (James Creswell), comes to her aid only to be slain by Giovanni. Donna Anna and her fiancee, Don Ottavio (John Tessier), vow revenge on Giovanni, her father's killer. At the same time, Giovanni attempts to hide from a former con-* Otf-%21, o mmd$h m TO® quest, Donna Elvira (Kelly Kaduce). He moves on to his next potential seduction, Zerlina (Carolyne Eberhardt), who is engaged to Masetto (Eric Jordon). In all this mayhem there is the servant Leporello (Vladimir Shvets), my personal liz$tr$hk@9e>lcoTn favorite. The trusted servant tries unsuccessfully to keep Giovanni from his ill-fated demise. The opera transforms music,s ^je $ * comedy, action, romance, and Mozart's wit into a delightful production to please the senses. My kudos to the cast and personal thanks to all involved in making this a memorable and noteworthy "first time." For the rest of you who may be ready to take cultural matters into your own hands, Fred Traceyfromthe California Center for the Arts, Escondido, encourages students to take advantage of the excellent opportunity to experience live perDia de los Muertos formances at substantial savings.

CSUSM will begin changing recycling containers this Friday, October 22. Over the next two weeks the university will eliminate the familiar blue mixed paper containers and replace them with black containers. This change is as a result of a new policy at EDCO, the local waste management company. EDCO now has increased capability to sort paper at their plant, which eliminates the need to do so here on campus. The new black containers will hold the following: Newspaper Mixed office paper Magazines, junk mail and slick brochures Chip board and file folders Bound books, except hard covers Telephone books Greenbar paper Ream wrappers Envelopes, including those with styrene windows Pizza boxes (all food removed) Cereal and cracker boxes Paper not acceptable for recycling: Restroom paper Kitchen paper (napkins, paper plates, food containers) Hardbound books Please remove as much metal and hard plastic as possible, including spiral bindings and clips. Staples are acceptable but should be minimized. We discourage Post-It Notes and Astro Brites, though they won't "pollute the load" as they did in the past. Other categories are as follows: Glass— except window glass and very dark wine bottles Plastic bottles—all are accepted except dark blue Aluminum remains the same. "With your support and cooperation, we expect our recycling program to grow and make a difference in our environment while saving our precious natural resources for the future."

Minto reveals how the Greek statue Nike, a symbol for victory, inspired her to create her sculpture: "My challenge now is to live day by day with the same trust I have when my art is unfolding." Minto continues, "Ray Bradbury said, 'You have to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.' For me, completing the Nike was like graduating to a new stage of life, being transformed from an earth-bound being to a woman who can fly." In addition to showing online exhibitions, Professor Small's discussion dealt with chemical companies that produce carcinogens (non-inherited environmental fac- tors that can cause cancers). "Cancer is not only an epidemic, but also a booming business," says Professor Small. She pointed out that some companies may be both the cause and the cure for some cancers. Particular companies may release toxic chemicals in the environment. For example there are companies, like one named Zeneca, that create tamoxifen, a drug that can be used to treat some breast cancers. At the same time, Zeneca has also been known to produce "carcinogenic herbicides" and pesticides. Professor Small also discussed "super-fund sites," Which are extremely toxic chemical sites found in the United States and other countries. "There are things we can do to clean up our environment," comments Professor Small. She felt that the public should at least be aware and informed in hopes that individuals may reduce their exposure to the toxicity in their environment. Professor Small became interested in cancer research in 1983 when she studied the Bikini Islands that underwent nuclear testing by the United States from the 1940's and 1950's. She says that studies like these have influenced her sensitivity to cancer. To view the Online Art Exhibit, visit http://www.csusm.edu/dsmall/syllabi/women/index.html and click on BCAM. —Patricia A.

Joni made several comments implying CSUSM is a hateful, bigoted, discriminatory school. I don't know what part of campus Joni attends, but I have seen none of this. This is my second semester at this school and never once have I received any backlash for the rainbow necklace I wear, the pride stickers on my car, or my openness about my sexuality. Most all my classmates know I am gay, including all the students in my GEL class, who, when I came out during a class discussion about diversity, didn't bat an eye. Almost every student in my GEL class is just out of high school, and everyone knows high schoolers' reputation for acceptance of diversity. I have held two different jobs on campus and have been openly out at both of them. I never felt any opposition in either setting. I also have four openly gay friends on campus and none of them have ever told me about any discrimination they have felt. One of them is a member of a fraternity and even he proudly displays pride stickers on his car without any problems. I'll admit that I was not at National Coming Out Day; however, it was not because I was afraid. It was because I came out a LONG time ago, and I urge others t o do the same, Scott Jeffries - ®f)e foe 'FREE' SPEECH IN THE 'FREE' MARKET By David Gottwald Amidst all the normal confusion and stress that comes with the beginning of each new semester, something decidedly abnormal struck me this Fall. While wandering the Commons searching for old friends and new classes, I was constantly bombarded with an array of products not unlike the local Escondido Swap Meet. In the course of one fifteenminute interval, I was asked to try Sparkletts water, get a spine adjustment evaluation, lay down (in what looked like a vinyl iron maiden) for a massage, and was persistently hounded by at least four different major credit card companies. Now I 'm sick enough at the thought of CSUSM turning into a deplorable University of North County Fair, but it was these credit card fellows that really got my goat. Unlike the other vendors taking up campus space, they have a great little scam going. Don't want a credit card? Sign up a friend (or complete stranger walking by - 1 was asked twice) and get a free T-shirt. Considering student loans and personal parental debt, I really don't need another bill each month. No problem, they told me. It's a really small amount. No annual fee. Etc. etc. The pluses began to weigh in on my judgment at this point, so it was time for some serious analysis. DEAR EDITORS: I am fairly confident that very few college students have need for a credit card.

But the point of this rant is not just to save you money - I wondered with what ease these slimeballs weaseled onto my Campus. So just a few weeks ago I went in to see If (AISES) had nothing to do with the planning, why would the planning commit- if I could have a spot like the credit card guys do.

MEChA Chair OAF Ordinary Americans against Fanaticism By Andrea Cavanaugh PRIDE STAFF WRITER I've noticed that a "new" club has been circulating literature around campus recently. The Young Americans for Freedom, or YAF, that campus group you thought disappeared long ago, has resurfaced once again. YAF says it "supports choices," many of which seem to profoundly affect my freedom. So, in response, I 've decided to form my own club, Ordinary Americans against Fanaticism, or OAF. Some of the items on the YAF fliers circulating around campus caught my eye, and, as president, founder, and sole member of OAF, I want to respond to them here. YAF says it supports the choice to own any gun. OAF is against being shot. OAF feels that being shot goes against, not for, freedom. OAF says, guns d on't kill people, people with unlimited access to guns kill people: OAF says, if YAF members can own any gun they want, let's lock up the ammunition. YAF says it supports the choice to deport illegal aliens. OAF wants to know who's going to bus YAF's table and clean YAF's toilet when the illegals are gone? OAF sure isn't going to. Is YAF saying that members have never picked up a couple of guys from the local alien hangout to clean up the yard for five bucks an hour? OAF doesn't approve of this situation, but acknowledges .that it exists, and that we all play a part school wearing a tasteful Anne Klein skirt with a pair of BVD's on your head, regardless of your gender! OAF says, stay out of my bedroom and my closet, FIT stay out of yours. YAF supports the choice to abolish affirmative action. While OAF isn't sure that affirmative action was the best system, there did seem to be something wrong with the previous system, in which white males got every"I've decided to form thing and everyone else fought my own club, Ordinary over the crumbs.

You may see them walking through the Dome and perhaps on a bicycle if our new Chief of Police Thomas Schultheis has his way. But you WILL SEE them. After taking over the helm here as CSU San Marcos, Chief Schultheis implemented a 24-hour, round-theclock communication center for our campus protection. "We are always o pen," says the Chief. Coming on board in an interim role November 1 of last year, the 22-year veteran, Captain Schultheis, was on loan from SDSU. He was officially appointed on January 1, 1999, as Chief of Police at CSU San Marcos. A new addition to the Police Department also included Lt. Glen from the CSU Long Beach campus. Lt. Glen has extensive experience in disaster preparedness areas and training with critical response units.. The Chief hopes to increase our partnership with the community and other nearby law enforcement agencies. Higher visibility is an important goal of the department. Although their office is physically located off Barham, at 441 La Moree, in the University Services Building, the department has plans to open a "storefront" desk operation on campus to furnish crime prevention material, obtain a photo ID and allow easy access for students. just noticed the warm feeling of blood running through the tube draped over my arm. As it made its way down to the attached plastic bag, I was told to squeeze my arm every now and then to ensure safe passage to the bag. In no time at all the needle was removed and I was on my way to a table of goodies! The actual donating part only took about five minutes. Chief of Police Thomas Schultheis PAUL B LANCHARD/ The Pride Safety of the students is a primary concern for the department. With well-lighted parking lots, and low shrubs, Schultheis feels that the campus gives a strong sense of safety. The department also offers a free escort service in the evenings for anyone who requests it. In the event of an emergency, students can call the emergency line at 750-3111 or pick up any "blue code" phone in the parking lots for a direct line to the police. Chief Schultheis would like to encourage students to bring concerns, complaints, compliments, and suggestions to the department. He says, "We need the feedback to better serve our community."

From Pg. 1 increase our number of spaces by 200 " Williams added that Parking Services has applied for an exemption from the CSU regulations so that they can be authorized to build 600 new parking spaces. He also stipulates that money generated through tickets must be split with San Diego County, and that the Parking Services half "goes to alternative means of transportation," like the campus shuttle and the "Bike to Work Day" promotion. Williams added that they spent over $80,000 during the summer for improvements to existing lots, including new signs and new electronic Daily Ticketers. The installation of the new electron ic Daily Ticketers also prompted the removal, on October .10, of the coin-operated visitor parking meters. The new machines can sell permits that are vali4 for half-hour increments as well as for all day and eliminate the need for the aging coin-only meters. The twenty spaces were equally divided between student and faculty-only use because students aren't the only drivers with a need for more available parking spaces. Williams says that applications for Spring 2000 permits will be mailed in November and that the fee is still $62. "We would rather have you buy a permit, then we can put those funds back into new lots. If we give tickets we only get half of the money and we have to use that money for alternative transportation." DEAR EDITORS: This letter concerns the mid-semester change of policy that revokes facultyparking permits for Graduate Assistants. Our position, as General Education Writing Instructors, is not that of the perceived teaching assistant. We are instructors of record, responsible for lectures, assignments, conferences, office hours, and final grade submissions. We perform the same duties as adjunct faculty. In fact, as General Education Writing Instructors, due to the intense reading and writing curriculum design of the course, our workload is extensive. Each of us strives to provide the type of instruction that will ensure each student develops the strong critical thinking and written communication skills necessary for success throughout his or her academic career. To facilitate our classes, we, like other instructors, need to carry extra books, handouts, and other teaching materials imperative for providing the conscientious instruction for which we strive. An inability to park in the faculty lot will hinder our curriculum development, as we will be forced to reevaluate the way we support our students' needs. In view of the level of service we provide to the University, we respectfully request to retain our faculty permits. The GEW faculty A COPY OF LETTER ADDRESSING PARKING GRIEVANCES: Dear Dr. Zomalt, Ms. Leiter & Ms. Knoblock: I wish to express my feelings in regard to the plight of twenty-four CSUSM instructors* including seven GEW instructors of which I am, one, and the mid-semester revocation of faculty/staff parking privileges because we are also graduate students. New Faucet Change Complies with ADA Standards Mike Spangler PRIDE STAFF WRITER It is nice to give recognition to someone on campus, especially for a j ob well-done. Whether they realize it or not, Facilities' Maintenance Mechanic Phyllis Ferguson has students' and the university's best interests at heart, and she takes pride in her work. "It really bothers me when we see things that don't work and we walk right by," says Ferguson. In recent weeks, Phyllis, who will have worked at CSUSM for four years come November, changed 36 faucets in Academic Hall. She wasn't supposed to. She was supposed to just repair the existing faucets and only replace any needed parts. Apparently the mixing chamber of the push-down type faucets were malfunctioning, causing some students to be scalded by unexpectedly hot water. Not long after beginning the string of repairs, Phyllis realized there was a better way. And a lessexpensive way. Phyllis recognized that the cost in man-hours to dismantle, diagnose, replace malfunctioning parts (yet another expense), and reassemble the existing units was just too much. And especially for faucets that hadn't undergone any routine maintenance for seven years. She learned that the cost to replace the entire unit with an identical model ($189 each) was also too much. Then she realized that the push-down faucets did not comply with standards defined in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). So she proposed to her supervisor, Chuck Walden, the Assistant Director of Facilities, that the faucets be replaced with less expensive ($52.64 each) and ADA approved fixtures like the Simmons Finished Brass Specialty Faucet. Not long after she drafted a formal proposal and performed a three-faucet sample her idea was approved and all of Academic Hall was fitted with new faucets. If the faucets hadn't undergone routine maintenance for seven years and Phyllis has been on campus for four years, then why hadn't she worked on the faucets earlier? Because Phyllis only just earned the title of Maintenance Mechanic after earning Journey-level status in three trades. Previously Phyllis specialized only in carpentry and painting. Plumbing is the most recent skill she ha$ acquired. What other changes are next on her list? "The water fountains. I would like to see the water fountains maintained a little better," humbly adding "good teamwork is what gets things done. Don Soriano and Floyd Dudley are very instrumental in accepting my ideas and getting them implemented." When asked why she would do so much for such little recognition Phyllis replied with visible sincerity "I care about my students and I like what I do. I 'll always go the extra mile because I like my job." I regard my faculty/staff parking status as more than a privilege. It is a necessity. I teach two GEW 101 classes with a combined total of 41 students. I carry a briefcase. I carry a full semester's lesson plans in a 4-inch binder. I carry three textbooks at all times, which do not include videos, other texts or handouts I may require for any class session. In addition, I carry two file boxes, one for each class. These contain my students' essays, quizzes and exercises. Each student i s required to write nine essays throughout the semester with a revision required for each essay. This translates into approximately 738 essays for me to carry and does not include additional revisions students will present for my comments throughout the semester. For example, last week, I collected 80 essays from my students. All essays had to be carried to my car and, once graded, they had to be carried to my classroom from the car. The paraphernalia I require, and acquire, due to my teaching responsibilities at CSUSM is bulkier and heavier than any backpack I ever carried as a student. Further, my teaching paraphernalia is unmanageable in terms of carting it from the bottom of the student parking lot to my faculty office in Craven Hall 3106. Furthermore, the CSUSM Fall Schedule of classes identifies the individual teaching my sections (and all other sections) of GEW courses as "staff." Therefore, I would argue that the university acknowledges my position as a member of its staff, which does in fact entitle me, and all other "staff'/graduate students, to staff parking. If that is not the case, then I must consider the possibility that CSUSM administration applies the term "staff" in conjunction with the courses I teach improperly. The use of this term in the schedule to describe my position in th& GEW classroom implies something to prospective students of CSUSM. It implies something you indicate by your "policy" decision is not the case. The term implies that qualified "staff" rather than lowly graduate students give instruction at CSUSM. I possess a faculty ID card. I enjoy faculty privileges in the library, media center, and copy center. I have a faculty e-mail address. I have building and office keys, a faculty phone number and an office. I hold office hours twice weekly. I have access to those services on campus that assist me, and all faculty, in offering students at CSUSM the best, and most effective, education we can provide. I receive a paycheck from the state of California for teaching at CSUSM. And, until this week, I possessed faculty-parking privileges. How is it that parking services and the business division at CSUSM can determine that I am not what I know myself to be, and what this institution has identified me as being—a member of the faculty? I appreciate that faculty parking can be a challenge, but I believe there is reason for discussion and consideration of other options before this decision is implemented. In reasonable and practical terms, revocation of my faculty/staff access to the campus is not logical and penalizes me, and the twenty-three other instructors in my position, as faculty/staff and as student. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet and discuss this with you, and to demonstrate to you the physical realities of what your decision requires of me. PAUL BLANCHARD / The Pride Sincerely, Ricki Muller �Laura Hopkins PRIDE STAFF W RITER State health officials offer these safeguards to avoid Plague: 1) Avoid contact with wild rodents. 2) Do not feed rodents in picnic or campground areas. 3) Never handle sick or dead rodents. 4) Avoid walking, hiking or camping near rodent burrows. 5) Wear long pants tucked into boot tops to reduce exposure to fleas. Spray insect repellent on socks and trousers cuff. 6) People living in areas where plague is known to occur should keep wild rodents out of homes, trailers and outbuildings. Health officials also cite the early symptoms of Plague as high fever, chills, nausea, weakness and swollen glands in the neck, arm pit or groin, and advise that people who develop these symptoms seek immediate medical attention. "It was such a frightful thing that when it got into a house . . . no one remained." "It" was the Plague, and in the fourteenth century, Marchione di Coppo Stefani published The Florentine Chronicle, a text that gives us a vivid account of the Plague and its destruction. Its devastation was felt throughout Europe, where it is estimated that onethird of Europe's population succumbed to this epidemic. "Many died unseen. So they remained in their beds until they stank." Today, the Plague still exists, but without the devastating loss of life. According to California StateOffice of Public Affairs, 37 cases of the plague have been confirmed in California, including one in 1998. With prompt diagnosis and proper treatment, the disease is curable in its early stages, but may be fatal if left untreated. There have been no cases of the Plague reported in San Diego County. The fourteenth-century Plague and the twentieth-century Plague* are the same one. H ie disease is caused by a bacterium called Yersinia pestis, and is transmitted from rodent to rodent, by fleas. When an infected animal becomes sick and dies, the fleas look for a new host. Animals and people can become host to these infected fleas and contract the disease. The difference between the Plague of medieval Europe and the present Plague exists in the treatment and understanding of the disease process. In fourteenth century Europe, the concept of antibiotics lay undiscovered, and disease transmission was not understood. The Europeans did, however, realize that quarantine seemed to reduce the spread of disease. Unfortunately, without the antibiotics necessary to destroy the bacteria, Y. pestis, had free reign over its hosts. Giovanni Boccacio (The Decameron) described the symptoms of a fourteenth-century victim of the Plague beginning with "the appearance of certain The P Ugue swellings in the groin or the armpit" referred to as "gavocciloi." The disease progressed with the spread of these "gavocciloi" and then, "the symptoms of the disease changed, and many people began to find dark blotches and bruises on their arms, thighs, and other parts of the body," until death occurred. And according to Boccacio, "few of those who caught it ever recovered, and in most cases death occurred within three days from the appearance of the symptoms." The typical disease progression today would sound like the case taken from California's Monthly Morbidity Report (11/95): May 1995, Kern County. A 57-year-old white female was admitted to the hospital with the history of four days of fever, headache, pain and swelling of the right ankle and inguinal area (groin or lower abdomen), vomiting, and loose stools. The inguinal swelling was confirmed to be a bubo (inflamed or swollen lymph node) infected with y. pestis, and the woman was treated with the proper antibiotics. She remained in the hospital for approximately ten days, and was released in good condition. The Plague does exist, and will continue to exist.

These parking citations may be invalid due to improper sign posting and the ofF-campus property not falling immediately under Parking Services'jurisdiction. Jim Courtney, Building Inspector for the City of San Marcos, said, "The property owner or manager can have the vehicles towed. They [Parking Services] can control the labeled lots, but they can't ticket kids in those unleased spaces or they're going t o end up with lawsuits." Parking Services has leased 160 parking spaces for 12-months at $1,000 per month at the 120 Craven Road property for use by CSUSM permit holders. Leased spaces are labeled with white paint "CSUSM PERMIT". The remaining 147 unmarked spaces are not leased by the university and are the private property of Palomar Pomerado Health Services. Dora Knoblock, director of Parking Services, says a clause in the lease agreement grants Parking Services the permission to cite violators. Parking Services Officers are "un-sworn officers," said Knoblock Parking Services has the authority to cite parking violations on property owned and leased by the CSU system.

Only a number marks it, like so many other doorways in this labyrinth maze we call Cal State San Marcos. Your hand reaches out and grips the handle as the door flings open. The sounds of life escape from the classroom, steamrollering over you. The small room overflows with students of all ages and beliefs who have come together. Lively discussion fills the air. Angry students zealously fight for their rights; others roll their eyes in boredom. Several raise their hand to remind us all to keep the peace and remember to work together. Applause booms through the crowd, but the chain does not break. With a new issue raised, the cycle of anger, boredom, and peace begins anew. The Inter-Club Council (ICC) meeting officially started on Friday, February 11, 2000, with a call to order at 1:40pm. Clubs join ICC is to receive full or partial funding for activities, limited insurance, and voting rights in all orders of council business. The representative of a club gives details on why they are asking for the money, then all the club reps vote yes or no to their request. Most funding is approved for at least half the amount requested, as long as it meets certain criteria. The discussion begins when the use of the money falls into a gray area in the rules. The first of these discussions fell on the request for funding of a "Safe Spring Fling" by Peer Education and Support Club, mainly because it was a large sum and other clubs felt it might be taking too much away from their store of shared funds. Eventually the motion passed, but with the condition that the Peer Education club seek partial funding from the American College Health Association. In attempting to give my opinion, I instead created problem conditions for the Peer club. I send my apologies. Peace was restored to ICC until The Victorious Club asked for thirty dollars for their Valentine's Day fundraiser. To sell lollipop bouquets the club needed a small amount of money for supplies. The club was denied funding because ICC money cannot be appropriated for fundraisers. The council quickly agreed to loan the Victorious Club thirty dollars, on the condition it is paid back after the funds have been raised. By the end of the meeting, almost every club drew together in an effort to find the best solution for funding each club's activities. By engaging in a kind of sparring match, members saw new ways around obstacles in order to get to their mutual goal: to engage students with activities that will awaken them to their campus and community. Melanie Addington PRIDE STAFF WRITER District Supervisor Bill Horn presented his "State of North County Address" to the major San Diego news networks and media, members of the community, and distinguished guests in room ACD102 on Friday, February 11, 2000. "It has been my tradition for the last five years to tailor a message specifically for North County," remarked Bill. As supervisor of the fifth district of San Diego County (which includes San Marcos), Horn works to preserve the public health, safety, and welfare of the people. Five individuals make up the Board of Supervisors. They sit on several committees to try to implement changes that they think will better serve the whole community. In other words, they are the people we send in t o deal with all the "bureaucratic mess." Speaking on behalf of all of us, Bill stated, "I would like to say thank you to our Sheriff's Department, District Attorney, the Probation Department, and the Courts for making our communities safer and for working together in a unified effort to stop crime in North County." Horn also stated, "The Gates Library Foundation will allow the placement of 54 personal computers and 16 printers." The libraries that will receive part of the $140,000 in materials funding are Borrego Springs, San Marcos, District Supervisor Bill Horn Valley Center, Vista, and Fallbrook. Due to his belief in education as one deterrent to crime, Horn also took credit for obtaining funding for an upcoming replacement library in Valley Center. He also hinted upon a new Pilot Program that will filter pornographic web sites in libraries. Right before his goodbye, Horn sent out the question, "You wouldn't send your children to the park with a pedophile, why would you send your kid to the library with a pornographer?"

By Joel Montes history This is my second year at CSUSM. I would like to think that I speak for the majority of students on this issue. It only took me one semester to figure this out. Why hasn't it clicked for the administration these past ten years? Please read the following excerpt from our mission statement: I. The mission of the California State University is: To provide opportunities for individuals to develop intellectually, personally; and professionally: * To encourage andprovide access to an excellent education to all who are prepared for and wish to participate in collegiate study.

After the first e-mail wish to participate in collegiate study." We should also have extended hours for basic services at least once a week such as a Thursday where Admissions and Records, Financial Aid, EOP, I received, I visited the web site described in the e-mail and 'agreed' to the policy, then Cashier, and other services can provide help to students and future students who otherwise may received two additional e-mails describing how students are required to 'agree' to the policy. The repeated e-mailing despite compliance is offensive. find it difficult to do so during regular hours. The e-mail also contained a threat, which also violates the policy. Describing how the "Works in partnership with other California educational institutions to maximize educaaccounts will be locked for non-compliance is a threat — the threat to damage students' tional opportunities forstudents." Another thing that i s frustrating to those of us, who are transfer students from a California institution, is that not all of our transferable credits are transfer- ability to perform and complete electronic course work. Furthermore the 'agreeing' to the policy is the entering into a contract with CSUSM. able. It doesn't make sense. Neither does the rule that we have to take a certain amount of units However, this contract is invalid. A contract entered under duress is meaningless. Due here to graduate. It is a waste of time and money for us taxpayers trying to make a better life to the writing requirements at CSUSM, and the fact that many instructors communicate for our children and ourselves. The argument may arise that there are not enough funds to expand student services or that important class information electronically, computer access is a necessity at CSUSM. the demand does not substantiate such a claim. Take a poll. Barbecues are fine, concerts are Therefore coercing students to 'agree' to a policy by threatening to lock their account is good but when the mid semester crunch kicks in or finals start coming around the corner and not only in violation of the policy, but also invalidates the agreement. I find it offensive graduating seniors scampering around the campus, all that doesn't matter. Services matter. that CSUSM is forcing students to enter a meaningless contract of suffer academically. It is offensive that a public institution would attempt to limit freedom of speech. StuJ Library hours matter. Computer lab hours matter. How much more money does it take to do this? How many more times will our tuition dents at CSUSM are entitled to freedom of speech, and the computer equipment access rise before we can afford change? I think that we as students need to start pressuring our rep- policy clearly limits it. This letter to the Pride is in violation of the computer equipment resentatives and administrators. Doing so will make the administration take the student body access policy because it is not academic, and I am writing it on a campus computer and e-mailing from a CSUSM e-mail account, and also because it may be deemed offensive seriously by making them accountable for what they do with our money.

Offensive E-mail from Garrett Collins DEAR EDITORS, I am writing to thank Johnny Coogan for his incredibly insightful article "To Read or not to Read". I find it amazing that reading has dropped so pitifully in the last few years. Kids (and probably adults) do not read enough at all. One might call them shallow. I myself am an avid reader: Critchton, Koontz, and Grisham are among my favorite authors. However, I find it very difficult to read a book for pleasure during the semester because of all of the reading that I am already assigned. I agree that everyone should read more, but as long as Playstation is around - sad to say - that is just not going to happen. J.

Knoblock said that the University Police has made no official sanction, and that the University Police is a separate entity from Parking Services. Knoblock also stated that permanent signs are on order. Parking Services' "temporary" signs have been in place for the first two weeks of the spring semester. Carl Blaisdell, Building Division Director for the City of San Marcos, said "If you post a sign, if you post a sign, then it must confirm to a certain width, height, material, location,,.. all that kind of stuff." When shown photographs of the handwritten signs placed by Parking Services, and asked if they are a valid posting, Blasdell responded, "I don't know. You'd have to go to court." Blasdell also stated that a judge could rule, "If I can see it, you can read it."

Knoblock reminded that there is an appeals system in place if a recipient feels that they have been ticketed unjustly. "If legal counsel becomes involved in this—we pull out of it and we let our legal counsel deal with it," said Knoblock. "The judge—that's the final decision." Courtney didn't agree and stated, "If you take it to a court, a judge is going to say 'that is not posting.' A reasonable driver is going to look where: 74-inches off the ground," and later added "the signs aren't anchored—they're not permanent." Deputy Charles Vorce of the San Marcos Sheriff's Department said, "If the Chief of Police issued any official sanction or temporary parking order, then these would be the signs." Deputy Vorce used an example of a bicycle race requiring temporary road closure. Peter Wolfe of Qwik Sign in San Marcos said the correct materials for a sign vary depending on whether the area falls under local, city, or county regulations, state laws, or CVC code.

In return, young men would court those women whose notes were drawn. The church merged the Roman holiday and the martyrdom of Saint Valentine into one when Christianity became the official religion of Rome. PRIDE STAFF WRITER The Tomb of Saint Valentine Valentine's Day comes when money has been drained from our pockets right after Christmas. It is a holiday second only to Christmas in spending and wrapping. Have you ever wondered why we celebrate Valentine's Day? Did it ever cross your mind that the beheading of a priest and a bishop resulted in such a celebrated and traditional day? The historical story of Valentine's Day is by far gloomier and less romantic than its modern version. Legend has it that Valentine, a Christian priest, married young lovers against the orders of Claudius II. According to Claudius, his men would be less willing tofightin war if they were allowed to marry, so he outlawed marriage. The priest did not follow orders and continued to marry young couples. As a consequence, the execution of the priest Valentine took place on February 14, 269 AD. Strangely, years later, another martyr, a bishop, also by the name of Valentine, was beheaded as well. Here's another Valentine's story: February 15 was the day designated to honor the Roman god Lupercus. To celebrate, young women would write and deposit In the United States, the greeting card industry sells millions of Valentine cards each year. Nowadays, Valentine's Day no longer includes religious customs burdened with martyrdom. Instead, sweethearts exchange cards. I must add, however, that after speaking with several students on campus, I find that would-be sweethearts claim they would prefer something less generic in gifts, such as cards, PRIDE STAFF WRITERS Dr. Lytle did not play any of Johnson's music but he suggested students read Johnson's book Black Manhattan. Dr. Lytle also performed scores by Thomas "Fats" Waller that he All in the name of love. Stained glass window depicting S t Valentine Celine Dion's "All The Way...A Decade Of Song Victoria B. Segall PRIDE FEATURE EDITOR Kathleen Hash and Giovanni Ferrer Dr. Lytle told the audience that he liked to improvise when he felt the piece called for it. He asked, "Do you play what's on the page, or do you trust James Wallen Johnson and improvise?" When asked what would be the worst Valentine's Day gift, Spanish major Lupe Canseco answered, "A Valentine's card with nothing written in it except a signature." Who would have thought that the death of two religiousfigures,mythology, and lore would have resulted in the holiday we celebrate today? How did the exchange of cards begin? Another Valentine legend arose during the Middle Ages. Lovers exchanged messages and gifts because it was commonly believed at this time that birds began to mate on February 14. Valentine cards came to the United States with the first English settlers. Mailing homemade Valentine messages became common practice when postal systems were organized. In 1847, Esther A. Howland developed the first cards and sold $5000 worth in cards. Howland's Valentines became incredibly popular. Cecil Lytle: Piano Sounds through Music History On Thursday, February 10, 2000, pianist, Dr. Cecil Lytle presented a selection of music he called "Rags to Other Riches" in ACD 102. Dr. Lytle, a music history professor at UCSD is also the provost of UCSD's Thurgood Marshall Charter School. His selection for the evening consisted mainly of African American com posers that ranged from the late-1800s to mid-1900s. He performed three pieces by Scott Joplin, the most recognizable being "Mapleleaf Rag". chocolate, or a teddy bear, for Valentine's Day. Other students said they would prefer a self made and personalized card for Valentine's Day. felt might be new to most of the audience, as well as pieces like, "Alligator Crawl" and "African Ripples". Dr. Lytle was also a constant source of information and spoke about each piece in-between performances. The music professor was very excited about sharing the deep history of music with the audience. Dr. Lytle's enthusiasm was evident in his passionate and emotional performance, as his repertoire jumped from African American composers to Jewish-American composer, George Gershwin's "Three Piano Preludes". Hefinishedthe evening with "Giant Steps" by jazz artist John Coltrane. Dr. Lytle recorded a compilation of hymns last fall. The album, which will be released this summer and can be found at the UCSD bookstore, is as of yet untitled. Valentine's Day comes and goes every year. However, for those of you looking for romantic, "lovey-dovey" type music to listen to yearround, there is Celine Dion's most recent CD release, "All The Way...A Decade Of Song". Grammy-award winner Celine Dion's current CD compilation includes nine past favorites, including three movie theme songs: "Beauty and the Beast," "Because You Loved Me," from the film "Up Close & Personal," and "My Heart Will Go On," from the film "Titanic". In addition to such past great hits, there are seven new songs, including Dion's newest up-beat single, "That's The Way It Is," and a remake of Roberta Flack's 1972 hit, "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face". This CD compilation, totaling sixteen songs, is a good purchase for music-lovers interested in Dion's more popular songs. "All The Way...A Decade of Song" results in slow, soft, soothing "pop" songs for listeners. Depending on your taste in music, this compilation may either help you fall asleep at night or help you relax after a long day of classes. Celine Dion's sweet-sounding, yet unbelieyably strong vocal talent may impress even those who may not be fans of this genre of music. �LEAVE LEONARDO AT TffE BEACH By Shanna Skidmore PRIDE STAFF WRITER Based on the book by writer Alex Garland, The Beach offers the viewer a sense of what life would be like away from everyday rituals and a world f ull of technology. not last forever. A decision that Richard made earlier in the movie comes back to haunt him and ultimately destroys his wonderful life away from reality. The movie opens with Richard (two-time Golden Globe nominee and Academy Award Nominee Leonardo DiCaprio) in Thailand in search of Paradise. Richard is a free young individual who becomes aware of the "perfect" destination through a man that he met in a hotel. Richard befriends and convinces two world, the three friends create a life without French tourists, Etienne (Guillaume Canet), responsibility on the beach, where they play and Francoise (Virginie Ledoyen), to accom- and absorb the sun in the beautiful atmopany him to paradise.

I guess the director felt it would take several malicious murders to bring Richard, and myself, back to the reality that the beach is not so perfect The Beach, which runs 112 minutes, has an upbeat mix of music that enhances the fast-paced adventure and, had it not strayed into such a bizarre direction, I would have said, "do not miss this one."

Jana Homik Joni Miller PRIDE STAFF WRITER PRIDE STAFF WRITER If you have noticed a little more elbow room while on your way to classes in Academic Hall, it is not just your imagination. A number of freestanding, sandwich board signs were removed from the breezeway on the second floor over the Winter break. CSUSM's very own President Gonzalez was listed among some of San Diego's finest who were honored by San Diego Magazine's top 50 "People to Watch" in 2000. The January issue touted Gonzalez as a "no-nonsense educator who has eased troubling racial discord on campus, forged relationships with local community leaders, and won battle for funds to unclog traffic bottleneck at State Route 78 and Twin Oaks Valley Road." San Diego Maga zine reported that the President's plans to increase efforts for school funding for the proposed state of the art library, athletic facilities and student housing were just some of the upcoming challenges Gonzalez will face. The article summed up Gonzalez' performance to date by saying, "With enrollment on the rise and a hard-charg- ing Gonzalez at the helm, CSUSM enters the 21st century as a growing educational force with a solid mission statement." According to the magazine "there are so many watchables out there, the hardest part^ i s narrowing the list to 50...There is no standard formula. But we draw from a wide pool of talent, and we think we've arrived at a list that encompasses a broad range and diverse collection of San Diegans." Others named on the list are San Diego Police Chief David Bejarano, San Diego Museum of Art Director Don Bacigalupi, San Diego Opera Director Ian Campbell, State Senator Steve Peace, MP3 founder and CEO Michael Robertson, and Chief of Staff to the Governor Lynn Schenk.

According to Steve Orsak, director of Environmental Health and Occupational Safety (EH&OS), the signs were creating a safety hazard and blocking emergency exit areas. At least one half of the breezeway must be clear, said Orsak, and several of the signs had blown over, requiring students to step around or over the downed signs. Trevor Knudsen of the Anime Club notes, "Anime Project Alliance's board was broken in the process [of removal] and we were never notified that it was going to be taken down, or that it had been after the fact, we had to hunt it down and it took a while." Orsak believes that the wind, rather than rough treatment caused damage to the signs he called "abandoned." The signs lacked any identifying marks or names, and were therefore considered abandoned and removed. Leiana Naholowaa, Pride newspaper ^editor, said that the large newspaper wood bin near the stairway of Academic Hall was missing one day of the week right before school began. The whole walkway was cleared of signs and bins and she stated, "It looked like the area had just been water-blasted and cleaned. I assumed that Facilities would return our newspaper stand later on, and they did." Signs outside of Academic Hall tried to trade in their sandwich board sign for a more permanent glass case, similar to those already posted in Academic Hall. In spite of numerous attempts to obtain permission for such a sign, Kimberly Whidden, President of the Accounting Society last year never received a call back. "I too, believe the signs are unsightly, however clubs need a common area to post notices of our choice...Members need up to date information and a place to leave messages for each other." The Accounting Society has Sandwich boards placed by the university, reminding stu- 1.5-liter, 4-cyl produces 108 hp and boasts 34-mpg city, and 41-mpg highway. 110 hp with 28-mpg city, and 35-mpg highway. dents of deadlines and badgering them to pay their tuition, remain. Because the campus has no clear policy on sign placement, Orsak has contacted Administrative Services and requested that a task force be created to look at the sign posting policies. Clubs will continue to compete with each other and the university for the prime locations. If your club is missing a sign, they are being held by EH&OS.

An innovation of the Aztek is the center console that doubles as a removable cooler with room for a dozen, 12-oz cans of beverage.

Bernard Hinton, a business professor who hired the first series of business instructors f or the new campus, retired from CSUSM on January 31, 2000. Hinton had originally chosen to come to CSUSM because it was an "opportunity of a lifetime [and] a professional challenge." "Hinton is known as being demanding, but focused," said Rick Moore, CSUSM Director of Communications, "He knew what he wanted and how he wanted it done." Hinton actively participated in the building design of the campus and was instrumental in making sure that construction was completed on time. He helped the university in its move into Craven Hall and made sure that Hibiscus flowers were included in the campus' landscaping. Although Hinton is retired from teaching, he is the president and CEO of SmartCities, a company which provides low cost internet access for schools in the district and founded LightSpeed Fiberlink, Inc., an Internet service provider. Hinton grew up in the inner city of P etroit and majored in biochemistry until his senior year when he changed to business. One day he was called into his office by his Dean and handed a contract which stated he would be teaching the next semester as he earned his MBA.

As a result they were forced to stop practicing and have not done so for the past two months. Coach Groom stated, "Most colleges have cheerleading liability covered under the athletic department's liability, however this cheer squad is not covered under the CSUSM coverage." When asked why they could not obtain insurance on their own the Coach replied, "Three of the coaches had offered to pay, but if they did the program would inherit the cost of any liability." PRIDE STAFF WRITER Trestand Conrique, a prominent businessman in North County, has recently donated $50,000 for the construction of the new Library Information Center at CSUSM. Conrique's donation not only pushed the university over the top of its $2.5 million goal, the donation was also doubled. Jean and W. Keith Kellogg II, in a challenge grant, had pledged to match donations dollar-for-dollar up to a $500,000 total. Conrique, President of Rancho Santa Fe Technologies, is also a member of the Trust Foundation Board, a 16-member fundraising committee made up of "movers and shakers" in the community, according to Linda Fogerson, Director of Development at CSUSM. The Board is part of the driving force for private funding of the University Capital Campaign and their efforts to raise money for new facilities at CSUSM. This is not the first donation Conrique has made to the university. Last year he donated $50,000 to the athletic program at CSUSM. "Without him, the program may not have gotten out of the starting block," Fogerson said. Conrique has also pledged to donate an additional $50,000 to the construction of the M.

Mano a Mano: The Painted Hand Exhibit Comes to CSUSM Sonia Gutierrez PRIDE STAFF WRITER ~~ ~ ~ On February 2, 2000, the Arts & Lecture Series commenced the Spring semester with Roberto Salas's art exhibition, "Mano a Mano: The Painted Hand." Salas's work contrasts bright and dark colors in a struggle against and toward each hand in the series. Salas's title carries the Spanish expression "mano a mano" that does not translate perfectly into English. In Spanish, the phrase connotes "a face to face confrontation" or "a competitive struggle."^ Acrylic hand paintings in black woodenframesmake up the Salas exhibition. The hands in Salas's pieces communicate through gestures, each with an individualized tattoo. The paintings depict a range of hand gestures being purposely positioned to take on different meanings,fromthe left and right hands clenching at the fist, to open hands reaching out, and to a hand grasping a red ball with the word "rebote," which translates to "rebound" in English. «. Artist Roberto Salas sculpts a hand for his Mano a Mano show. tioned in a unique gesture with its own tattoo. Vina Matsen, a Liberal Arts major, commented on one of her favorite pieces. Vina said, "I like this hand because it seems like an older hand. The hand has more life, and it rests in supplication." The hand intrigued me as well. At first glance, the hands may seem like a repetiRed blotches resembling tive icon. However, after care- bloodstains envelop the back of the fully examining the paintings, hand. When I asked Salas the meanthe viewer sees each hand posi- ing of such marks, he said, "It's sur- prising you noticed. The hand makes reference to the Native Americans who died with Small Pox." Salas's work goes deeper than the superficiality of a painted hand. Understanding each piece demands critical observation and an appreciation for his aesthetic.

FOR THE FIRST TIME EPvcyRL Salas's sensitivity and desire as a private and public artist developed while growing up in a non-affluent neighborhood. Salas writes, "It has been my goal to improve the quality of life by making art which is accessible conceptually and physically to communities of people who are unfamiliar with sanctity of museums and galleries." Salas's humanistic ideals and his concern for the well being of humanity are qualities which earned his piece, "Dream," a place in the Martin Luther King Jr. Promenade in downtown San Diego. $20,000 CASHBONUS PLUS $50,000 FOR COLLEGE.

Willi over five months spent training, track athletes have optimistic attitudes and have set high goals for themselves. Approximately twenty-five students anticipate a season that will lead them to national competition. Returning cross-country champion, Marcus Chandler, plans to compete at the national level in the 1500-meter race. Amy Taylor, an accomplished hurdler, plans to run the 400-meter hurdles at the national level. Heather Garritson also plans on competing at the national level, running distance races ranging from 1500 to 3000 meters. Jason McLevy, Jacquline Campos, Denaye Lakotich, and Robert Villegas are also determined to qualify for national competition. The team will face strong competition in the Mt. SAC Relays. Mt. SAC is nationally recognized as a "fast track", often giving athletes an opportunity to improve their marks in magnitudes that would be more difficult to accomplish on "slower" tracks. Mt. SAC is also nationally known for its Olympic Status, holding many Olympic trials and maintaining numerous Olympic records. Meets held at Azusa Pacific University will also prove to be helpful in increasing marks, since it is a "fast track" as well. Although there are no current plans to hold meets at CSUSM's track this season, students are encouraged to drive to Long Beach, Fullerton, Pamona, Mt. San Antonio (Mt. SAC), Azusa, Irvine, Northridge and British Columbia (national competition) in support of the team! | o nly place where you can get y our textbooks What more can we say? ia • • • • •i UNIVERSITY ST I A • • mP Rm %Jr � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The president spoke at length about the past and future of CSUSM, citing the Tenth Year Anniversary as his reason for doing so. The highlight of his speech committed the future of the university to the students, saying that in the past, "we too often lost sight of the student." He dedicated the second decade to a "vision of student achievement and success." Dr. Miriam schustack addresses convocation. Every year faculty, staff, students, and community members gather together for the kick off to the new academic year. In what can be compared to a U.S. President's State of the Union address, CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez made his Convocation address for 19992000 on August 23, 1999 at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido. All were treated to a continental breakfast and mingled freely awaiting President Alexander Gonzalez' third annual address which starts off the new academic year. CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez was available for comment before his speech. He acknowledged both his hopes for the future of CSUSM and the ongoing strain that exists between faculty, staff, and the student body. Dr. Miriam Schustack, Department of Psychology, introduced new faculty and staff and acknowledged outstanding teachers in the local community in an opening speech. She also spoke about the groundbreaking that will herald the building of both the Science II structure and the new Arts structure. ASI president Waleed Delawari spoke enthusiastically about the strength of the The cheerful atmosphere of the event, however, was compromised by what President Gonzalez dubbed the "dark side" of the past. Schustack cautioned the audience to "fight challenges, not each other." The president noted that communication must improve between "the organization and the faculty." He outlined specific goals for improving the existing condition of strife, including upholding the values of "community and integrity." Moving beyond in-house problems, the president indicated that last year's lower-than-expected enrollment kept the university from receiving a budget increase from the Chancellor.

The Center conducts research and research training and disseminates information pertaining to research findings concerning Latino populations in the United States. "I am excited about the strong institutional support and warm welcoming conveyed by both the administration and the faculty at Cal State San Marcos," said Dr. Fernando Soriano, director of the Center. The Center has been funded by the National Institutes of Health to promote increased research and training of researchers who are studying Latino populations. The center has a national scope that includes all Latino subgroups— MexicanAmericans, Puerto Ricans, and Cubans. The Center is committed to areas such as health, mental health, education, social issues, housing , labor and employment and immigration. Professor Soriano has joined the faculty at CSUSM as a tenure-track member of the College of Arts and Sciences program in Human Development Soriano's work in youth and school violence was highlighted at the American Psychological Association national convention in August, 1999. His work will also be featured in a CBS documentary on school violence and will be represented in the National Summit on Violence in Denver in late August. Dr. Soriano was one of six national experts selected to contribute to a special segment of MTV's True Life series on youth violence and suicide, and to a prevention brochure that was offered to young viewers who called a toll-free number following the segment. Soriano has been a visiting professor of psychology and education at Stanford University, where he received two consecutive distinguished faculty awards from students for his teaching and research. At CSUSM, The Center will work closely with the Social and Behavioral Research i nstitute,. directed by Dr. Richard Serpe.

As they made their way to the Library courtyard, they were greeted by a bamboo flutist whose music echoed across the deserted campus. Funes' battle with cancer ended on July 3, 1999. Many "Don Stories" were shared by those who knew him best—his wife Carolyn, and Nico Israel, the Funes family spokesperson. Relatives from such faraway places as Boston, Idaho, and Victoria B.C. shared warm moments with faculty, staff, students, and friends. Dr. Victor Rocha, Dean of Arts and Sciences, spoke of the great efforts Funes made in making the upcoming Arts building a reality. Funes' commitment to the arts is seen in his belief that "the soul of the institution is in the arts." Funes worked with a variety of traditions ranging from African, Indonesian, and Andean music. His presence at San Marcos made concerts at local high schools possible. His dedication to the arts extended to a passionate support for a rich collection of library books and CDs that seek to go beyond the Eurocentric model.

I am the psyche fairy. I will try to help you with your questions and problems about whatever issues you have. Now, I am not a "licensed" psyche fairy, I'm just an apprentice right now. But, as you know, those apprentices do a lot of good work in their training. I will do my best to be considerate of your personal cultures and hope that you may keep an open mind and heart as well. Compassion is always the best place to start and move to solutions from there. With that said, let's learn from others' psyches and have fun in the process. My love and wishes for a productive and happy semester with many new experiences, Psyche Fairy Dear Psyche Fairy, I met this lady in class and I think she is lesbian. What is a polite way to ask? - Josh, 27 Josh, why do you care, really? If she is, she won't be asking you for a date. If you are attracted to her then you can compliment her and ask her if she would like to accompany you somewhere. If that seems too bold, then connect with her as a study partner and inevitably the conversation will drift off the subject during which time you can make your advance. If she accepts, then you have a date and she just might be straight enough to develop a romance with you. If not, then she might either be uninterested in you or maybe she is a lesbian. In both of these cases, then her sexuality is really not relevant to your situation. If you are gay and you are trying to connect with some "family" then wear something that is identifiable as a symbol of the gay/lesbian/bi/trans community. If she wishes to connect with you and share she will likely comment on this and there you go. If you are merely interested to satisfy your urge to box her up as a "nice little lesbian" then forget about it. In this case, spend your time figuring out what it is that urges you so and why any answer would be valuable. Pretend you found out through gossip that she is a lesbian. What then? Do you treat her as a bulldyke (as if there is one appropriate way to treat such a person)? If you are attracted to her, then mention it and good luck from there.

The toys won't hurt you by themselves, so don't be afraid. Who knows? You may soon have a new favorite "toy" around the house. Remember that your ideas may change and they might not bother you anymore. Just be careful, because the psyche fairy knows that some toys can be harmful if used improperly. Also, some toys can be of such great size that it is nearly impossible to use them safely. Be good to your body, but pleasure it as you do your mind.

The plot was S.O.S. and the acting was bland except when LL Cool J made us laugh uproariously. The main thing I went to see this movie for, of which it delivered quite well, were those seat poppers you get when something unexpected happens so suddenly (like when a 45 foot shark swims up, bites a man in half, and swims off...all in 0.85 milliseconds). The movie also had a philosophical/moral quirk surrounding the issue of altering the shark's genetic code in order to produce more of a substance that would cure Alzheimer's Disease. This substance is produced in small quantities in the brain of a normal shark. Since the scientists were total nitwits, they decided that a shark with a bigger brain would produce more of the substance and thus genetically altered the DNA of the shark to get a bigger brain. Simple logic would follow that a larger brain means that the creature would have a greater capacity to learn and would therefore be "smarter." This oversight goes to prove that just because the scientists have extremely high I.Q.'s doesn't mean that they use that lump of mashed potatoes to make their decisions. Of course with the sharks being smarter they manage to really mess up the floating lab in which they are being held, forcing the surviving inhabitants to desperately claw their way back to the surface, all the while fighting for their lives. Oddly enough, I found myself cheering for the shark towards the end of the film. I wanted so badly for it to tear a particular character in the movie asunder violently. It did of course, thus punishing the demented scientist who messed with its DNA, which satiated my lust for the extermination of the worst character in the movie. Definitely go see this film if you have someone you'd like to hold onto or you get a kick out of jumping bodily from your seat while your heart skips a beat. If you get the chance, go see it in the theater. If you wait for it on video, make sure you watch it late at night with all the lights off in order to preserve the aura of the film and get your couple of bucks entertainment out of it.

WIoodward Arts Complex Break Ground I and b Cynthia C STAFF WRITER J &HL M M C * Big changes are coming for students, faculty, and staff in the parking lot this semester. We now have parking fees for autos increasing from $54.00 per semester to $62.00 per semester. Motorcycles took a harder hit with a fee increase from $13.50 per semester to a whopping $30.00. Dora Knoblock, Parking Services Coordinator at CSUSM stated, "Parking Services is a totally self supporting entity, we do not receive any state funding." Why were the parking fees increased? To pay back bonds for the existing parking lots, according to Knoblock. New, solar powered, yellow ticket machines are in place in all the lots now, at a cost of over $60,000. She also notes that when comparing fees at other CSU campuses, San Marcos' parking fees were one of the lowest in the system. Robert Williams, office manager, stated, "We are working to incorporate alternative modes of transportation." New bicycle storage units will replace the old ones this semester. Other plans include spaces for car pools in both the student and faculty parking lots. Additionally, a possible agreement with North County Transit District (NCTD) is in negotiations to offer bus passes at a reduced rate for students. Parking Services is back on campus with a new location in FCB 107A. Welcome Week hours are 8am7pm. Normal business hours will be from 8am-5pm. It is their hope that with their relocation back on campus, the addition of new parking signage, and a new parking kiosk in the top lot, they will generate more of a one on one service for students, staff, and visitors. PRIDE STAFF WRITER • Director of Planning, Design and Artists' rendering of Science II and Arts Building Two new structures will break ground this semester, the Science II building and the new Arts Complex. The buildings will overlook the Cesar Chavez Plaza, east and north of the statue. No date has been officially set for the groundbreaking, but any day now shovels will hit the dirt. The groundbreaking readies the land for these newest additions to CSUSM. The actual building will not begin until late November or OBITUARIES Donald J. Funes, Professor of Music and Director of Andean Music, died of cancer at his home July 3. He was 60 years old. Don began his career thirty-seven years ago in Washington State. In the 1970s, he established the Life Electronic Music Ensemble at the Crane School of Music in Potsdam, New York. Later, he became chair of the School of Music at Northern Illinois University. It was at NIU that he began his research in and performance of Andean music, a labor of love that he communicated far and wide. Don joined the faculty of CSUSM in 1990. He was the founding member of the Visual and Performing Arts program, and the vision he shared with his colleagues still defines and guides the program. In addition, Don also led the early development of the General Studies program, another enduring legacy. All who worked with him gained immeasurably from the experience. He will always be in the hearts and minds of everyone here at the University. Don is survived by his wife, Carolyn, and two sons, Michael and Matthew. Former State Senator William A. Craven, who spearheaded the work to establish California State University, San Marcos, died July 11. He was 78 years old. Senator Craven represented our Senatorial district from 1978 until August of 1998. For nearly 20 years, he worked to establish the need for a CSU campus in the rapidly growing North County region. In 1988, his senate bill, SB360, created the initial legislation to found CSU San Marcos. Senator Craven was part of the historic bill signing at the temporary campus on September 1, 1989 that created the 20** campus of the CSU system. During his remaining years in the Senate, Craven remained a good friend to the university, particularly in getting bond issues to ballot to assist the growing campus. Six months ago, at his request, his family donated $250,000 of unspent political action funds from his campaigns to scholarships for needy CSU San Marcos students. His scholarship fund will be used for needy student-athletes. 1 Barbara Ann Mosiej Pender, a CSUSM employee and member of the campus' first graduating class, passed away at the age of 49 on June 26. In her eight-year fight against breast cancer, she became an activist in its early detection and research and was an inspiration to many women and men coping with this disease. During her lifetime, she was a devoted and loving daughter, mom, grandma, sister, niece and friend. As a CSUSM student, Barbara worked as an assistant for Carolyn Mahoney in the Math and Science Department from 1990-1992. Mahoney described Barbara as a "fine student and good role model" and acknowledged her many achievements while at CSUSM. Barbara became a full-time staff member here in 1992. She was actively involved as the Project Director for the highly successful Academic Math and Science Summer Camp held every summer at CSU San Marcos from 1992-1996. She is survived by her mother, Elizabeth L. Mosiej; children Tamara Mosiej, Andrea Elliot and Lance Pender; grandchildren David and Elisabeth Mosiej; and sister Mary Amari, all of Oceanside. early December. The sites will be fenced from the public during construction, and should cause little or no inconvenience to students in regard to either parking or accessibility to the campus. The Science II building and the Arts Complex will be constructed concurrently and are due for completion in 2002. University Hall, the most recently completed building on the campus, was finished in a little over a year and a half. Russ Decker, Construction, explained that the Science II and Arts buildings have "more complicated space and ventilation" concerns than University Hall, due to the need to construct labs and theaters. Science II is designed to house physics, biology and chemistry labs, some computer and math labs, a greenhouse, and a small number of classrooms. In contrast, the Arts Complex will accommodate a 250-seat auditorium as well as two theaters and space for classrooms and rehearsals. One theater is designed to seat 150 and will accommodate a large proscenium stage, while the other will be a "black box" theater that will allow for flexible seating and staging. One of the next building projects on the campus will be the construction of the new See BUILDING Pg. 4 46 Students Receive Laptops By Leiana Naholowaa PRIDE EDITOR What's even better than unlimited Internet access on campus? For forty-six students, it's the thrill of owning a laptop computer. As part of the Leonard Evers scholarship, freshmen in financial need received gifts in what is the most innovative and uncommon program in the nation. Students carried in their portable computers to University Hall 100 Tuesday, August 23, 1999, equipped to start off the first semester. Support members from Academic Computing were on hand to connect each laptop to the Campus Wide Information System (CWIS) server. The sophistication of Dell Pentium II and Fujitsu laptops matched this new generation of students who have all grown up in an age of computers. Bill Craig who is one of the main technical supports for Academic Computing conducted the training workshop by connecting his own laptop to a large video screen. He walked the students through each campus operating system and spoke about the school's home drive. Copies of all work saved on this drive are available for up to twelve weeks in Computing Services. Craig reassured students, "We'll be able to get a copy of your homework for you if your laptop crashes." Paul Phillips, Director of Financial Aid, remarked on the great success of the program that began last year. Of the first fortyfreshmen,93% have registered again this fall. As agreed, the three students who dropped out returned their laptops to the school. Those computers, in turn, went to members of this year's incoming freshman class. Leonard Evers of Templeton , California, the program's beneficiary, was an accountant who left money in his will for the school because he wanted to help students. A large portion of the $2.6 million gift goes to increase EOP grant awards as well as the widelyacclaimed computer scholars' program. All funds for the grant are invested so that only the interest is spent. "Funds will be available forever," Phillips further notes, "Your grandchildren will be able to benefitfromthis." If students in the Evers scholarship program make it successfully through their college career, the computers are theirs to keep. and Information Services : Hua Yi, Senior Assistant Librarian, Library and Information Services : Dr. David E.

A campus that fosters teamwork among students, but prizes autonomy over community. A place where no one trusts anyone else to do their job, where redundant review is seen as exhausting, but still necessary. An organization planning, and often communicating, in silos. Acampus that prizes responsiveness to student needs, but one not fully prepared to commit to client-centered practices. An institution trying to be everything to everyone, rather than defining its distinctive areas of competence. An academic enterprise reasonably sure of its success, but with insufficient means to measure that success. A faculty that hod each other to very high standards, but with canstantly shifting expectations and rewards that don't seem to align with goals. These are the shapes that emerge from the shadows of the portrait of CSU San Marcos when we choose to examine the darker side. But, as Oscar Wilde wrote, "The truth is rarely pure and never simple." Jose Ortega y Gasset wrote that "The choice of a point of view is the initial act of a culture." During the first decade at CSU San Marcos, what has been our point of view and what culture have we created? How many of us, in coming to this campus, were able to adopt the viewpoint of the student seeking an education and services and to tailor our work to ensure student success? I suspect that in all our hard work to build programs and expertise, we too often lost sight of the student. As we begin our second decade, I would like to suggest that CSU San Marcos take the opportunity to refocus its efforts on the point of view of the students we serve. Once we begin with the perspective of a student, we can begin to define our culture around the On the Mission Statement... vision of student achievement and student When the Visioning Group success. began to seek input from the campus community, one of the first questions of many individuals and groups was: why On the WASC Self-Study and visioning?

We hope to make this a great jear! However, I've always had the question: which part of the mission are you citing to inform your work? Our work so far in the visioning process has reminded us that there are many inspiring phrases and ideas within the current Mission Statement that we want to continue to uphold. In fact, our current values and mission drafts state many of the same values and mission, only in a more condensed form. Still, the current mission statement is too broad; it mixes our mission, vision, and values, as well as goals and strategies to achieve the mission. Refining the mission of the University became one of myfirstpriorities when I came to this campus. On the Chancellor's Office... This next year of working and planning will not be easy. As you all know, this campus received basically a flat budget over last year. Because we did not meet our enrollment targets last fall, the Chancellor's Office did not look favorably on giving us additional funds for enrollment growth this year. To reframe their reaction within Tierney's viewpoint, the Chancellor's Office did not demonstrate confidence in our productivity and organizational performance. We may be achieving great results in student learning—again, we don't know enough about our success—but our inability to demonstrate adequate enrollment growth given local demand, hampered our efforts to garner growth funds from the CSU system. gEfte ffribe CONVOCATION continued from Page 1 speech by saying that while he holds great expectations for the BUILDING Continued from Pg. 3 dence" to prove student success. of the university and the community.

P age 6 �News C.S. planners count on Proposition 'A' • With $72 million at s take, Proposition "A' would be a boon for the future development of Cal. State San Marcos BY R ICHARD M AUSER P RIDE S TAFF W RITER A good chunk of the future of CSUSM will rest in the hands of California voters next week, The fate of Proposition lA, a $9.2 billion public education bond on the Nov. 3 statewide ballot, will have a lot of impact on the CSUSM campus. The measure, which would provide funding for elementary schools through state universities, contains $72.3 million for CSUSM over the next four years. If passed, it would fund the c onstruction of t hree new buildings and the beginning of a new library and information c enter, nearly doubling the campus' square footage. "This will be a major kick," said Carol Bonomo, CSUSM director of Legislative and Civic Affairs. "It will really get the campus going." According to CSUSM officials,^ $30 million would be allocated for the construction of a science hall that would house labs, classrooms and faculty offices, and also cover the first phase of a multi-building arts and humanities complex that would include classrooms, music labs, a dance facility and a 200-seat lecture/rehearsal hall. The proposition also would designate $25.3 million to begin the process of building the $1.2 million donated to CSUSM for athletic complex A $1.2 million gift from longtime O ceanside r esident Helene Clarke will enable CA S tate San M arcos t o b egin building a much-needed field house to anchor an athletic complex and physical education program. The completed structure will be named the M. Gordon Clarke Field House in honor of Mrs. Clarke's late husband, an active sports enthusiast. The donation is the largest single gift from a living person t hat t he l o-year-old N orth County university has received. "The university community is very pleased at the generosity of Mrs. Clarke and the confidence she has shown in the future of our campus," CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez said in announcing the gift. "Generations of students will benefitfromhaving a first-class field house as part of their total university experience." M. Gordon Clarke was a longtime Hughes Tool Co. executive with an abiding love of athletics. He considered a professional b aseball career a fter competing at the University of Oklahoma but decided to follow his father's footsteps aiid go into business. However, Mrs. Clarke said her husband never lost his enthusiasm for all sports, from baseball to football to golf. "He would think nothing of picking up the phone, calling friends from around the country, and arranging a golf game for all of them, in Hawaii," she laughed. "And when we got to the airport, of course the clubs went on the plane first." Mrs. Clarke said her husband would have been 'thrilled" to know that golf is the first team sport at Cal State San Marcos, with competition that began earlier this month. "And that is why I decided to donate for the field house, because athletics was Gordon's life in so many ways. library and information center across the cul-de-sac from Craven Hall. But Bonomo says this p roject w ould need p rivate funding in addition to the public bond. Funding for the three buildings would begin in the first year if the measure is approved. The Library and Information Center would receive funding in the third year. CSUSM has suffered in the past when similar bond measures failed. Defeat of one in 1992 bond halted plans for the construction of six new campus buildings. In 1994, voters rejected one that would have funded construction of three new campus buildings. But passage of a 1996 bond funded construction of the recently completed University Hall. D espite p ast s etbacks, Bonomo said she was hopeful this time. T m optimistic. I've been talking to a lot of people about this and they seem to really care about education," she added. Proposition lA, put on the ballot in response to the recent state mandate to reduce class sizes, would provide funding to relieve overcrowding and accommodate s tudent e nroll- ment growth. It also would repair older schools and provide wiring and cabling for education technology. A ccording t o Bonomo, Proposition l A is the biggest education bond to go before the voters in California history. It would provide $6.7 billion to K12 schools and $2.5 billion to the UC, CSU and community college systems. The-CSU system would receive $832 million if the measure passes. CSUSM, with its $72.3 million, ranks second among the 23 CSU campuses. San Jose State would receive the most at $83 million. ii h i € r • Dome l liiliilllii ismiiii* III! - Ip1??;Ipfe the test BY KUO-CHANG 3 , Hi P w b e STAFF WRITER • Is bigger better?

Horns honked, the pedestrians speeded up a bit and tempers flared everywhere. Such a scenario is not uncommon at the north entrance of the parking l ot But, soon, it will be a thing of the past. Linda C. Leiter, director of CSUSM Business Services, said that tricky entrance will be closed for good starting some time in November. Vegetation will be planted across the driveway, complete with a pedestrian path leading to the Craven Drive cross walk. An information booth which will also act as a parking enforcement booth also will be built inside the parking lot, a few steps to the south and close to the lot entrance fromrGra^i^riVe. \ Lot 10 is the second largest parking lot on campus, with 482 spaces.

That message is greatly reinforced by the striking images in the Art Myers exhibit currently on display in the CSUSM library. Titled "Winged Victory: Altered Images Transcending Breast Cancer," it contains Myers' photos depicting women who have had lumpectomies and mastectomies. It will be on display through the end of October. Myers, an internationally known photographer and a doctor, normally commands large fees for his exhibits. But, thanks to a request by biology student Roberta Sweeney, an 11-year survi; vor of breast cancer herself, Myers gave CSUSM the opportunity to showcase his art free of charge. In 1987, Sweeney had a mastectomy and underwent a "Big Bad Regimen" of chemotherapy that same year. "I always say "breast cancer' and not just 'cancer,'" she says. "It distinguishes where and what, it takes the sting out of it. People immediately associate cancer with death, and it doesn't feel so scary to me when people hear 'breast cancer.'" Myers, who specializes in preventive medicine and public health, is a graduate of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. He obtained a post-doctoral degree in public health from the Graduate School of Public Health at SDSU. A self-taught photographer, he has studied with well-known artists, such as Annie Leibovitz: best known for her portraits of celebrities such as Mick Jagger and Keith Richards during their sixweek 1975 American Tour; her picture of a very pregnant and naked Demi Moore on the cover of "Vanity Fair;" and one of Whoopi Goldberg in a bathtub filled with milk. In the preface to the exhibit, Myers states, "It is my hope that these pictures, right breast — , 1 still have :n 11 nave an arm an �Photography By poems and personal vignettes will reveal the persistence of a woman's beauty, strength, and femaleness in all of its complexity, even after the transforming experience of breast cancer." CSUSM Women's Studies Professor Madeleine Marshall agrees that the stigma of this cancer has impacted society. Just as images of the environment in crisis contradicts the concept of Mother Earth, she adds, the premium on young, healthy and nurturing breasts clashes f with those that are sick. Vvl f? P " PU As efforts to educate and increase fT "^ AIt&rpA IwifioPK awareness of the disease continue, she says, art such as Myers' lends a hand. Jramcending Breast Cancel Myers photographs, which include his wife Stephanie, portray survivors of different ages and backgrounds, some posing with their partners. Poems by Maria Marrocchino with titles like "Venus and Friends," "Hands That Still Nurture," and "My Hands, My Body" were created especially for the exhibit. One picture shows a couple, Lisa and Scotty, posing with his motorcycle. Lisa faces the camera wearing nothing but jeans and boots, in the text, she talks not of the couple's experience with breast cancer, but about their different i astesin motCMreycles. ^ In another picture, Dick writes about his wife Carol, the love of his life: "I feel my mother's spirit shining down on both of us." His mother had breast cancer, too. Carol sits behind the light of candles to highlight her double mastectomy withtierhusband's face emerging from the dark like a steady ray of light. In another, Tanya, who has had a left mastectomy, urges everyone to "live each day, each second, each morsel, to the fullest." She adds that she turned breast cancer into a triumph by learning to regret nothing. "I would not undo this gift of perspective, even to have my breast back," she writes. "Painted Ladies" is a picture of women wearing humorous and brightly colored body paint. Susan calls the long scar on her chest "my badge of courage." The exhibit is by no means the only campus reminder that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Sweeney herself is now an active speaker for the Komen Foundation, a national organization that advances breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment. ins Vic III!

But here's what baffles me: What's the deal with the enormous back-packs? They're luggage really. Are all you tukwuts running away from home? Do you camp out after that 6-9 p.m. class so you can keep that prime parking place for your 9 a.m. the next day? ,Students never used to c any so much stuff. Since my first college go-round, back-pack sales have skyrocketed. Little w onder. W ith all t he s tuff people are packing in them these days, they must wear out l ast. And it's not just college coeds. My 5-year-old niece is part of this trend. She has a bright pink back-pack that is so heavy, I marvel she can even stand up. (That Barbie doll piggy bank certainly doesn't help matters any.) So I'd just like to know: What the heck does everybody have in theirs? I, for one, travel light. A spiral binder to take notes in class. Maybe, if I'm feeling downright studious, a textbook. My wallet, because you never know when youH need cash for caffeine. A pen and pencil, maybe even a hi-liter. That's it. What more could you possibly need? For those who think I'm exaggerating when I call these packs "luggage," how about this: I've actually seen students using luggage racks to carry their back packs. Heck, I've eyen seen a few pieces of luggage dragged around campus, literally. Where will it end? So, as I told a friend who instead of catching Padres fever last week, wanted to argue the merits of t he proposed new downtown ballpark that San Diego voters will be facing next week: Lighten up! I thank you, and your chiropractor thanks you. Acting on your financial future p owe r BY SHERRONA HILL P RIDE S T A F F W R I T E R Where do you see yourself in the next 40 years?On a beach catching rays or maybe jet-setting around the world, spending time in your winter and summer homes? For many of us in our 20s, growing older and retiring is like a fable. Unreal as the future may seem, now is the time to be planning for our golden retirement years. Social Security probably won't be around when we retire, so we can rule out that potential source of income. After we retire from our illustrious careers, we need to have a plan to ensure a good quality of life in our later years. Start with something as little as $50 a month. Right now, many of us are worried about paying tuition and bills. The majority of CSUSM students are working so we do have steady income coming in. Take advantage of investment vehicles in your jobs like 4 0i(k)s, and p rofit-sharing plans. By investing early, you have the potential to makemor^ in the long run. Especially m stock " funds that are geared toward growth of your monies. For those of you w ho are timid about messing with the stock market, you should know that investing almost always beats savings accounts. Why put $500 into a savings account that will pay you a yield of only 2 percent when you can put that $500 into a money market fund and get 5 percent return on your money? Ask your human resources people about getting into investment plans offered to fulltime employees. If you are working part time and don't qualify for these taxdeferred plans, then you can call any n umber of m utual funds companies and set up automatic investment plans. In an automatic investment plan, you can have a set amount of money taken out of your checking account every month. You won't miss that $50 or $100. Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) are a good way t o i nvest y our h ard-earned money too. These allow you to put away up to $2,000 a year tax free. It's something like a write off. But you can pull t he indney out any time, and as long as you put it back into the IRA within 60 days, you still don't have to pay any taxes or penalties to the Internal Revenue Service For those of you who would like to find out more about investing in your future... a little bit at a time... get the answers to your questions. i iaii^classro^ to relocafestudeiife aitdtheir professors i& pm&imiltelr class Smith added* i Di$abled stn^»ts or others requiring the use of m elevator were dble to use those te Cmvm Hali t e i natelocafions Restored in that building* ^ !

A fter leaving Europe, she taught high school in Cambridge, Mass., before returning to her native California to teach at Valley Center Junior High. There she met her future huSband, an athletic coach, whom she married in 1968. After teaching special education for about five years, she quit to care for their two children. But, when her husband was diagnosed with throat cancer in the early 1970s, and had his vocal chords removed, she returned to teaching. "My husband is my hero because he has always shown such strength and hope during trying times, even when he has faced recurring cancer," she says, adding that he continues to work with children by volunteering with the DARE program. He tries to convince children not to smoke and enjoys his volunteer work immensely, she says. While teaching at Carlsbad High, Huntington first heard about a program called AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) at the County Office of Education. The program offers special tutoring to potentially able high school students so that they are better prepared for college. In 1989, after a year of training, Huntington started Carlsbad High's first AVID program. Some 17 of her first 28 students went on to four-year universities. Huntington says she still gets an occasional telephone call from a former AVID student seeking advice or j ust to say hello.

Their concert will be held in room 102 of Academic Hall. The public is welcome and admission is free. Traditional Indian music dates back more than 3,000 years and is based on the fundamentals of raga (melody) and tala (rhythm), which are merged into a musical system capable of expressing the finest shades and degrees of color and emotion. Trasoff will play his 25-string sarod, a classical instrument with a teak body and steel fingerboard dating back 150 years in India, to the background beat of KaushaTs tabla, a classical drum of North India. Trasoff has studied sarod performance and North India classical music since 1972. He has appeared in concerts at arts centers, universities, conservatories and f estivals in t he United States, Europe, and Asia, and made several tours in India. Kaushal belongs to a family of musicians and artists, and first studied under his father, an accomplished tabla performer. jj(pM San M a r c o s X I S S a n M arcos, C A 9 2096 ;j ^ ^ ^ M e m a i l us: |||J||§1 p ride@mailhost1 . c s u s m . e d u the position at CSUSM while also trying to deal with the death of h er m other and a brother, says she really didn't think she would be chosen.

The Academic Support Program for Intellectual Rewards and Enhancement (ASPIRE) recently teamed up with College of Arts and Sciences and the Center for Student Involvement to offer The College Success Workshop, a series of programs targeting special problems students encounter throughout the academic school year. Upcoming workshops include one on how t o conduct r esearch, March 19 from 1 to 2 PM; one on time management, April 1 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. by Carlene Smith; and one on goal-setting April 13 from 10 to 11:30 AM. There will other workshops in May. The workshops series is "designed to increase student participation and involvement in university-sponsored events," said Alex Cuatok, ASPIRE coordinator. The workshops are designed to help students improve their skills in study, leadershig a^d^est^preparatipn, as.well* as how to use the university's resources. ASPIRE has 20 tutors actively involved in helping students, along with personnel from various university academic programs. The workshops are free.

Last summer, the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing accredited CSUSM's Single Subject Preparation Program in English. The program prepares students for the one-year credential program by offering combinations of courses that in essence replace the tests. The Praxis and the SSAT are twohour tests, costing $200 each. Susie Lan Cassel, coordinator of the Single Subject Preparation Program in English, described them as "incredibly difficult." Indeed, last October, 49 percent of the students who took the SSAT failed. The preparation program is divided into three phases. First, all waiver students must complete the core classes. Second, similar to the bachelor's degree program, students choose an emphasis either in writing or literature. They must complete 15 units from that emphasis with a minimum GPA of 2.7 in all waiver classes. Third, a portfolio documenting a student's academic growth must be compiled at the end of the program. The program is approximately 15 units more than the baqhelors degree, Field depending on the courses taken. But, unlike the bachelor's program, junior college c redits c ount t owards t he waiver. Once 8 0 percent of the waiver classes are completed, students are eligible to apply to the credential program. Academic Advisor Lora Coad and Cassel encourage t hose t hinking of teaching careers to have an evaluation t o determine t heir eligibility for the waiver. Bring an appointment letter to Leslie Zomalt in CRVN 6203. She will s end u niversity t ranscript f iles t o Cassel, and a walk-in meeting can be set u p f or t he f ollowing week d uring Cassel's office hours (3-4:30 p.m. Mondays; 2-3 p.m. Tuesdays or by appointment). Those interested in the waiver program should first contact their advisors. More information on the program can be found on the CSUSM home page http://www.csusm.edu/A_S/ lit_writing/waiver.html). A literature and writing advisement board will soon be posted outside Craven 6 220. The catalog h as changed drastically from 1996-97. from page 1 MJM nors for additional projects, h e said. After developing the recreation field, CSUSM could initiate soccer, golf, and track and field programs, helping t o lead to eventual membership in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), Gonzalez said a t t he t ime. Lynch said defeat of the proposal would show t he community "we d on't care about having recreation facilities." Since student fees will be reduced by 5 percent next year, she added, students would pay about $5 less than this year even if the $35 increase is approved. CSUSM students already enjoy the lowest tuition and AS fees in the statewide system, Faltaous said. Gonzalez told the North County Times previously that an anonymous donor offered the university $150,000 to start the project two years ago. Since that time, $50,000 has been spent on studies to determine the cost of t he project, estimated at about $1 million, he adcled. Faltaous said he hopes students will support the proposal not just because a recreation center is needed, but also because a viable sports program might help to decrease the apathy many students have for the university in general. While the academic life on campus is extraordinary, he added; development of more clubs, organizations and student g overnment is d efinitely still needed. "Students need to realize they belong to the campus and the campus belongs to them," he added. The fee increase proposal has generated mixed feelings on campus, however. AS Secretary Erik Dawson said he probably would not s upport it as it stands because AS would not have control over the account. "Since students would ultimately pay for the recreation facility, s tudents shquld control t he funds," he added. Dawson pointed out that AS and the University Foundation have differed in the past on a few key issues, including the perceived monopolies held by Duplication Services and Aztec Shops on campus. Student control of the athletic account, he argued, "would give the AS more cards to play with when we sit down and negotiate something." Dawson also said he would not support the proposal without some form of t ermination clause, a dding t hat h e would h ate to see the fee still in place 20 years from now, with generated revenue going toward such things as watering grass on campus. Lynch said students could vote out the $35 increase after six years. Several students said they liked the proposal. Daniel Huey, a transfer student from Mira Costa Community College, said he would support the increase, adding, "In college, there's a time for study and a time for other recreation. A track would be a place to exercise the body, not just the mind." Huey said h e t hought t he track would be good for the community in general, and would give parents somewhere to take their children that didn't cost money. Though junior Zuri Williams conceded that "we need some sort of athletic (facility) on campus," she said she wouldn't support the mandatory fee. It would be better, she added, to raise. the funds through donations. One senior said she thought the idea of a new t rack a nd f ield s ounded g reat, b ut a§ked, "Why is it coming out of t he student's pocket? I don't think students need to be burdened with more fees." Brittney Leavitt, a 16-year-old San Marcos High School student who intends to enter CSUSM after graduation, said she would support the proposed fee as a university student. "I think it would get t he school m ore involved," s he added. "I would use it." SEE WHAT TAKES SHAPE. EXERCISE.

Parking woes still affect most students my B Y JAMES GATES Finding parking on campus is no f un. But getting a parking ticket is even less f un. But that's,what may be in store for a number of students. CSUSM's Parking Services h as laid down t he law: There is n o "grace period" for parking violations. Some 165 students got that message the hard way, by being issued tickets i n t he f irst two weeks of classes, 110 in the f irst week, 75 in t he second. T hat's a p er^week r ate of r dughly d ouble t he a verage week in the previous semester. Parking coordinator Dora K noblock c ited " continued abuse" as the reason for the nononsense approach and added, "This is not an exception, it will be the rule." Half of those ticketed had n ot d isplayed .valid p arking permits. "If (ticketing) gets students to purchase parking permits", s aid Knoblock, " then what we are doing is working." The other half, with permits, simply were parked in u nau- thorized places or lots. When asked if such tickets is a symptom of t he problem or t he solution, Knoblock paused a nd replied, "I'm inclined to say it's a solution." Parking tickets cost the recipients $20. A late payment, after 21 days, adds another $10. A p arking p ermit costs $54. Checks (made out t o "CSUSM parking") are acceptable payment. University officials know spaces are still at a premium, b ut some 100 new spots were o pened t his s emester in t he P alomar-Pomerado H ealth Systems Center, across Twin Oaks Valley Road f rom t he c ampus. By a nd l arge, Knoblock says, these spaces are still n ot b eing fully utilized. Shuttle service from that lot is available Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Knoblock says the shuttles, too, are underutilized. In addition to that and the main Student lot, a t hird one (Lot 3) is available j ust past t he c onstruction of Building 15, n ear t he Chavez s tatue, f or both students and staff. Knoblock insisted t hat "students have sufficient parking," b ut h er s tatement d rew a m ixed r esponse. M any s tudents said they were aware of t he a dded l ots, b ut s tressed t hat t hey w ere t oo f ar away from classes to be helpful. "I usually plan to be here an hoiir early t o find good parking for morning classes," said one, J ames Harris. H elping a b it is t hat CSUSM's e nrollment f or t he spring semester is down from slightly from last fall. Though final enrollment figures were not complete, Richard Riehl, executive d irector of e nrollment services, said h e did not "expect an increase over fall enrollment." CSUSM also h as plans for a nother new lot, a djacent t o Lot 3, which will add 590 new spaces. Some 4 6 new spaces also will b e added to the upper staff lot. Both should be available by next fall. �Library Calander B Y J O H N F RESCA tarting this week, CSUSM will be presenting a n umber of a rts and lectures on campus for Women's History Month.

Among the many features of the new system is the San Diego Library Circuit, through which s tudents can r equest from over 4 million books collected at the libraries of UCSD, SDSU and t he University of San Diego. Once requested, the books will arrive at the CSUSM library by t he next b usiness day. Reid called the system "wonderful" and a "real bargain," considering the increased access offered to students. "This system does not exist many places in the United States," she added. » Reid said the library staff is also working to provide more electronic access, while continuing to add more volumes on site. The library stores over half of its collection offsite, in the Foundation Building (the annex), which is aceessible only t hrough c ourier. S tudents/ h owever, c annot b rowse through this part of the collection; they must request a particular book, then wait one day for delivery. ^ e library piaps t oadd onsite shelving in the near future, but finding a location has become a problem. Structurally, only certain p arts of Craven Hall can handle the weight of the books. The central part of the "U" in the building can accommodate it, b ut no open space exists for shelves. The back area of the third floor in the library remains available, and t he staff is studying t he possibility of immediate expansion. The amount of library space available for students has also become an issue. The library currently has 263 "reader sta- tions" for students who wish to the building. , This spring t he university study there., But, according to most library standards, at least plans to begin a campaign to t hree t imes t hat m uch i s raise f unds f rom t he private needed. s ector.

The standing ASI president, senior Joe Faltaous, has been working on a plan that would give s tudents t hree u nits of credit for serving a full-term in office. Faltaous urged students to get involved in t he electoral process because "they need to be aware of their rights. They are the consumer and .clientele and should hold the university accountable for the product and service provided." He added: "Students should vote because it's their voice that needs to be heard.

Dot.Comm comes to town B Y LODIA ORAMAS How many times have you had a complaint about a program or a club not being available at CSUSM? How many times have you done something about it? One communications major, Quito Washington did do something. His thoughts and concerns about the communications program at CSUSM led to action, the formation of a new club called Dot. Comm. He's present secretary of the newest group on campus to liave a voice. President Brian Frye, who also is majoring in communications, and Washington thought the name Dot. Comm. would fit the club perfectly. Both are also specialists in utilizing the Internet. The club will have its next meeting on March 6. Dot. Comm., which Frye says has 60 people "already interested," was organized in the middle of the fall semester. Its goals include focus groups in which small groups can target an area of interest, a book-share program, internships, scholarships and networking with San Diego State University's Communications Club. Frye and Washington shared the sentiment that communications majors virtually were without a voice on campus. As one junior put it, "CSUSM just doesn't offer very much to communication majors." Dot. Comm. seeks to change that. Fiye said the club is looking for members, particularly ones interested in serving on its various committees. Interested students can visit Dot.

The images described are religious, and I asked Kennedy if B, in effect, was worshipping a n alternate god. "We all need something t o alleviate t he emptiness t hat pours into u s in unguarded moments. Morrison a nd t he other images in t he b asement represent B's temple of saints, their eyes upon him.

No gods deciding o ur fate? "Once I saw a big-headed boy bouncing a ball o n t he sidewalk. H ie ball hit t he kid in t he head a nd fluked crazily away, him chasing it. Some- times I see t hat as a reflection of the whole thing—a ball bounced by an idiot, a life of infinite possible t urns fluking u s through f rom birth to death.

Perhaps t he Zoroastrians were right: p erhaps o ur task on earth is t o help Light in its battle with Darkness. 'Sing t he songs of light,' they told us."

( Now, m ultimedal-winning Olympian diver Greg Louganis has turned the video camera on himself with "Looking to t he Light," a b ehind-the-scenes glimpse of his personal life since his ground-breaking biography, "Breaking the Siirface." "So many people asked me if I was doing another book after "Breaking the Surface,' and I just didn't want to go through t hat w hole p rocess," s aid Louganis f rom h is h ome in Malibu. "So when the director of the film version (produced by the USA Network) approached me a bout doing t he video I thought it was a perfect compromise." A n ative of San Diego, Louganis has been a competiIIW^I C ^ I I W tive diver since the age of 10. Still in his teens, he won a silver medal in the 1976 Olympics and by the age , of 30 had won four Olympic gold m edals. In " Breaking t he S urface," Louganis traced his rise to diving stardom, an ascent filled with several obstacles. He was taunted by schoolmates because of his brown skin (he was put up for adoption by his biological mother, a Caucasian, and Samoan father) and dyslexia which went unnoticed until his teens. He grew up with an abusive father, battled substance-abuse p roblems, a ttempted suicide and eventually came to terms with being gay. When "Looking to the Light" premiered at t he West Hollywood Pacific Design Center last fall as a benefit for the American Foundation for AIDS Research (AMFAR), many in at- New gay soccer team now recruiting Players Contact: Scott Trevor Morre (619)226-1676 A n ew r ecreational soccer team for gay men named the San Diego Breakers Soccer Club is now recruiting players of all ages and skill levels for its roster, with Monday evening, practices set to begin March 9. The club is being 6rganized by two San Diego area men, Kelly Sieben* M.D., a family practice physician at Sharp Rees-Stealy Medical Group, who lives in Scripps Ranch, and J ohn B aril, a H uman Resources computer professional for Scripps Clinic and resident of La Jolla. 1 Baril and Sieben both a re l ongtime soccer players. Baril started playing with t he San Diego Sparks gay soccer team 11 years ago and contin- tendance were moved by what u nfolded on t he video. The emotions ran the gamut from laughter to tears. "That's one of the things that was m issing f rom t he TV movie," said Louganis. "It wasn't a very realistic view of people living with AIDS on a day-to-day basis. The video is more honest and candid."' And it is. Throughout "Looking t o t he Light," we see Louganis deal with the cost of expensive and complicated new AIDS treatments as well as returning to old habits that would interfere with his HIV. But t here are lighter moments, too. Much of the last few years has seen Louganis traveling cross-country speaking on college campuses and appearing at countless book signings. Another highlight is a video diary of Louganis achieving a recent goal: completing the 1997 California AIDS Ride, a 500-mile plus bicycle ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Like other documentaries of its genre, the video takes an unflinching look at a man still coming to terms with his evolution into a role modeLforth$ gay and HIV/AIDS communities. "I'm not comfortable being seen as a role model. I don't t hink I'll ever b e," said Louganis. "Everybody is human u es t o p lay w ith t he t eam. Sieben played five years with the Sparks, until last year. Their goal is f or t he Breakers to join the San Diego County Soccer League by the time main season competition begins next October. The team also plans to play in the Black M ountain 7 on 7 s ummer league and possibly ongoing indoor play at Folsom's sports facility in North Park. " We're o pen t o gay male players of all skill levels," said Sieben. "All ages are eligible, and experience is not necessarily required. Willingness to play and a good attitude are what's important." M ore e xperienced skilled players looking for a serious competitive team will be referred to the Sparks. Initially, the Breakers is soliciting players for its 18man roster. "If there are more people interested, we wouldn't turn them away. Anyone is welcome to come to practice and other club social get4ogethers," Sieben said, noting t hat first practice is at 6 p.m. on March 9. The B reakers would complement the Sparks, which recently announced plans to become more competitive. "We hope both teams will benefit f rom our recruiting efforts," said Sieben. He e xplained t hat, "Well differ from them in that our playing time will be preferentially f or gay guys, a nd t here will b e more equitable p laying t ime r egardless of skill." While anyone may attend practice, those who are selected for the team roster will pay monthly dues, although the amount hasn't been determined, Sieben added. Baril and Sieben say they plan to secure a lit practice field. For more information or to j oin t he club, call 6875600 or e -mail t hem a t gaysokrsd@aol.com.

Every skier/ snowboarder would. Carving t he first tracks through fresh powder is t he highlight of any winter season. • i But what if you only have a da3Ktb'&kii: > o fride? You knbw t he situation: test on Monday in history^ p resentation in literature on Tuesday, and so o n. But you still want to experience t he snow. In that case, local mountains are your only choice. And when you think local mountains Big Bear immediately comes to mind. But t hat might not b e the best choice. Mountain High is located about 2" h ours n orth o n I nterstate 15 i n Wrightwood in t he San B ernardino N ational F orest. C omprised of two separate resorts, an east and west, it offers varied terrain for both beginner and advanced skiers/snowboarders. The west resort has long and widegroomed trails serviced by a high-speed, quad chairlift. It is the most popular of the two resorts for skiers because of its wide and clean runs. The east resort features Fault Line, a full-sized, snowboard terrain park with a series of man-made launches and a good-sized half pipe for both beginning and advanced riders. But what makes Mountain High a good day-trip choice is t hat it requires no mountain driving. That's right, no winding roads. While the slopes t hemselves are snow-covered, the roads are usually not. This convenience comes at a cost, t hough. "Most of t he snow is m anmade. It doesn't have the same feel as real powder," says Chris Sorensen, an avid skier for 14 years. Adds intermediate snowboarder Josh Waters, "The slopes are crowded on the weekends. Sometimes they even sell out of rental equipment." At $35 for an eight-hour l ift ticket, it's not t he best value either. * However, Mountain High's closeness can make the difference between ^ et- r Flicks f rom p a g e 9 ting to t he slopes and staying home, especially in the middle of a semester. You can avoid the crowds by showing u p early. The resorts open at 8 a.m. daily. Arriving early also will guarantee that you can rent whatever equipment you need. An a lternative would b e t o visit Mountain High at night when it is less crowded. The east resort offers night skiing on 75 percent of its runs, including all of the Fault Line terrain park. It may not be what winter vacation d reams a re m ade of. But M ountain High is a compromise between that sixpage research paper due on a Monday and having a little winter f un. as any teenager does however, as with t he characters in Drugstore Cowboy, Dr. Curry points out, "These are people o ur society, h as d eemed d ifficult t o love, difficult to care a bout.. . a film director can get an audience to take a look at these folks and spark a germ inside of us t hat says, 'I feel compassion here', 1 can love the most unlovable". River's Edge will certainly spark some serious conversation regarding difficult decisions and the people we love. Discussing two of h er favorite films arid their appeal, Dr. Curry posed a v ery r eal arid r eflective q uestion, "What about those among us that are so difficult to love? What happens if through art, you can find a speck of yourself inside these people, can you then see something human, a connection to humanity?" Both D rugstore Cowboy a nd R iver's Edge will p rovide f ood f or thought.

Heightened concern over increased sexual assault reports Third documented assault since semester onset By Jasmine Demers Community News Editor CSUSM students have been exposed to a harsh reality and have reacted in response to a significant increase in reported sexual assaults on campus. Campus police are currently investigating two additional sexual assaults that occurred at The Quad in September. On Sept. 24, UPD was informed of an alleged rape that reportedly occurred between Sept. 18 and 19. Another assault was reported on Oct. 3 and was said to have occurred between Sept. 12 and 14, less than two weeks prior to the first report. Each of the alleged rapes reportedly took place at the residence hall where both suspects had attended a party. Since the semester began in August, crime alerts have been issued for a total of three sexual assaults. The university recently issued its annual Jeanne Clery report, which shows campus crime statistics for 2011 through 2013. According to the disclosure, there were zero reported sexual assaults in 2011, one reported sexual assault in 2012, and one reported sexual assault in 2013. CSUSM's reported assaults have tripled within just a couple months of the 2014 school year. CSUSM student, Lizbeth Moreno, commented on the issues surrounding assault in the campus community. "It's infuriating that this keeps happening but people need to know that this is a reality for so many different people," Moreno said. She explained the importance of students coming together to end sexual assault in the community, but she also said that there are some positives that come from survivors being brave enough to tell their story. "In a way, I think it is a very good thing that we are seeing more reports. In past years, there have been a very small Photo by Cody Cook Karen GuzmXn and Cecili Chadwick discuss a Feminists' point of view to campus questions at a meeting on Monday Oct. 6. amount of sexual assault cases that were actually reported to the police," Moreno said. "There are so many women who don't want to be re-victimized and who are afraid of being blamed, so they would rather sweep it under the rug than have to relive it. But, it looks like that may be changing little by little." Moreno and other advocates against sexual violence have taken it upon them- No More!

CSUSM's new Veterans Center inspires elevated involvement Photo by Matthew J.

By Matthew J. Kuhlman tire CSUSM community. Photo Editor Ever since the ribbon cutting ceremony at the new Veteran's Affairs center, the new facility has become a welcoming hot spot for veterans, staff and the en- There has been a noted increase in both veterans already associated with the center as well as newcomers who previously never really had the chance to visit. "The new central location and design of the VA Center seems to invite and draw people in as if it just 'looks' like the type of place to stop in and get answers or direction," said Alexis Bruno, a SN Criminology and Sociology major. The layout of the new center was designed specifically for, and succeeded at, creating a space that is welcoming, informative, relaxing and constructive as well in the way of study and administrative designated areas. The first few steps into the front door present a friendly and informative member at the front desk leading right into a large social area with a large screen TV and seating for anyone who wants to relax for a while or just stop by for a quick break. "The layout of the center makes it much easier to focus on school work at one end of the center and leaves room at the other end for camaraderie, entertainment and a more social setting for exchanging information with fellow members and students," said Aixa Escobar, a SN Psych major. "It sets up a more open exchange of knowledge and shared experiences." One of the major accomplishments of the new VA Center, whether it was an intentional goal or that is just happened, is that the atmosphere seems to automatically break down previously existing barriers. Far too often the very idea of a veteran facility, or any military based center, almost always sets people 'on guard' because they have a preconceived notion that they have to be very formal and expect a struggle with red tape. "Ever since the opening of the new VA Center, we've noticed this sort of aura in the atmosphere," said Claudia Oreegal, a SN Business major. "My personal goal," said Oreegal, "is to make anyone who walks through the door feel comfortable." Since the new Veteran Center is attracting every walk of student, the staff is always mindful that each new visitor may have specific needs that they think no one will understand or be able to help them with. After just a short period of time experiencing what the new VA Center and staff have to offer, students, veterans, and dependents all end up realizing that someone at the center has been through what they are going through. The inviting atmosphere of the new center combined with the knowledge and information available from the dedicated staff continue to live up to the new center's goal of being a beacon of support for the entire CSUSM community.

IW Photo courtesy ofLatino Association ofFaculty & Students. By Katherine Ramos StaffWriter Guelaguetza, the latest initiative to celebrate diversity and heritage on campus, was celebrated this past Sunday. A festival meant to celebrate Oaxacan heritage, the event has been on campus annually since 2000. The Guelaguetza has been traditionally organized by Coalition of Indigenous Communities of Oaxaca (COCIO), for 19 years in San Diego. It is modeled after the original Guelaguetza festival in the city of Oaxaca, Mexico, a region filled with a mixture of cultures and people. Every year people gather in the city for a day of dance, music, food, crafts and an overall sharing of community and culture. That same festival is now reproduced and held on the front lawn of the Kellogg Library. The festival showcases Oaxacan Mexican culture with native folklorico dances and musicians, artisan crafts and traditional foods that are all authentically Oaxa- can. All proceeds from the festival go directly to projects within the community. At least 8,000 people from the communities of the San Diego area visit the festival every year, as the Guelaguetza i s considered a particularly good place for families, according to COCIO board director Cuez Rodriguez, since there is no drinking, nor any kind of discrimination against those who attend the event. "We create a safe space where the family can come and be away from hostile environments," Rodriguez said. "Our festival is where they can be comfortable." CSUSM student organizations and the Anthropology department both work with COCIO in order bring , the festival on campus, and so far it has benefitted both sides of the partnership. According to Rodriguez, the association with CSUSM creates jobs each year for the school and helps spread COCIO's message to the community. It also allows children who would not otherwise experience a college campus to do so as a way of encouraging them to become more acclimated to making the transition in the future, according to Rodriguez. Student volunteers are also a part of the staff, although many did not know what to expect when they first came in. However, they all share a desire to learn something about the Oaxacan culture. "It's a way different culture from my own and it's very beautiful," second-year volunteer at the Guelaguetza, Angelica Santiago, said. "I want to keep my culture and learn more at the same time," student volunteer, Yohita Mendez, said. "There is a lot to learn still." For COCIO, the primary purpose of the festival is to create an environment that is safe for family attendance, which is, in general, successful. "The idea of family and community together, that is our definition of festival," Rodriguez said.

By Sydney Schabacker Creating the dynamic, digitial portfolio CSUSM resumes will now stand out By Katlin Sweeney Editor-in-Chief The ways that students can catch the eyes of potential employers i s constantly evolving, evidenced by the advent of the interactive, digital portfolio. Portfolium, the new way that students can bring a youthful spark to the traditional resume, was introduced to students in early September. The campus has partnered with the company by providing each student with an account and encouraging them to utilize the portfolio tool for an added visual component when going into j ob interviews. Nicknamed by some individuals as a "Linkedln geared more for students," Portfolium allows the user to demonstrate their professional and personal interests by actually showcasing the projects that they normally would just mention in a resume. With the success that Portfolium has enjoyed at other universities in California since its creation last year, the administrators at CSUSM became interested in providing Portfolium as a resource to students. Since its official "introduction" to campus a few weeks ago, the CSUSM Portfolium network already features over 1,000 entries and more than 8,000 students have logged in to begin their portfolio. "Portfolium will benefit CSUSM as an institution by benefiting the communities we serve," Vice President of University Advancement, Neal Hoss, said. "With the ability to translate academic work and experiences into the skills and criteria that employers are looking for, we hope our students and alumni will be better equipped to get the j ob or promotion that will help them advance in their careers." According to Vice President Hoss, the administration's primary goals for Portfolium are to help students build a more detailed, wellrounded portfolio, to connect them to their peers and alumni and to attract more employers to hiring students at CSUSM that meet the qualifications they are looking for. In addition to this, the portfolio network will give pro- spective students an opportunity to learn about the campus and student body by viewing CSUSM Portfolium profiles. Eventually, the administration plans to possibly expand its reach to more of the campus community as well. "At some future point we anticipate that this will be made available to faculty and staff, primarily in an effort to support CSUSM students and alumni who have their digital portfolios on Portfolium," Hoss said. Some students may shy away from using Portfolium in its entirety due to the fact that it makes an individual's projects and work public online. However, there are ways to protect intellectual property from being copied or stolen. "Our team built Portfolium with the end user in mind. That's why we made sure each piece of content within a user's portfolio has its own privacy and visibility settings," Portfolium CEO, Adam Markowitz, said. "For the sensitive content, a user can set it so that only trusted connections and employers may view. For the portfolio entries showcasing a student's passion, lifestyle and hobbies, we recommend keeping these public to increase exposure and 'searchability.'" Portfolium takes many aspects of student usage into consideration, including the omission of fees to join, and use, the network and no selling or sharing of user content or information. "Portfolium does not have unrealistic terms of service," Markowitz said. "They are almost identical to other e-portfolio and social networks, including Wordpress, DropBox and Linkedln." In addition to the current features, users can look forward to updates to how portfolios look, which according to Markowitz will be in use within the next few weeks. Students that are interested in logging into their Portfolium account to learn more about updates and the ways that they can share their experiences can go to https:// c susm.portfolium.com/. "If ' a picture is worth a thousand words,' then Portfolium is worth a terabyte," Hoss said. ra-ka-de-ka" Fresh Thai Kitchen IXC.

While munity of care and respect many celebrities like Kerry and had about 50 students Washington, Alex Morgan take the online pledge," STARS (Students Talk About Relationships & Sex) advisor, Cathy Nguyen, said. When asked on how the college can get involved and help victims, Nguyen said, "we should become proactive bystanders and, as humans, need to be more sensitive and compassionate." In solidarity with this philosophy, during the end of October, many workshops and lectures are lined up on-campus to educate stu- dents about their rights, as well as to provide a community for victims of assault. "I believe that his [Obama's] approach and initiative is likely to be successful because it engages multiple stakeholders, including the media and possible future perpetrators and bystanders," Professor Fernando Soriano, whose area of expertise lies in School-Based Violence and Delinquency Prevention Programming, said. "I think that this campaign should be publicized widely here on campus, and that we as a campus make it mandatory for all incoming students to read about the problem of sexual violence, and that they sign a pledge indicating that they will help prevent sexual violence from taking place."

For those with a taste for heavy Celtic Metal, The Dread Crew and Oddwood proved fitting. The Baudy Juggler told lewd, less-than-familyfriendly jokes, all the while hurling three machetes into the air and catching them before they rained down on the terrified audience. More specifically, one audience member sitting in the front row prayed she would not die via a juggling act. But what would a Viking Festival be without violence? Amongst mock combat, the festival held archery contests, sword fights, and the long-celebrated, history sacred fish tossing contest. Children were even given the opportunity to decorate their own sword and shield. If one felt so inclined, one could also participate in the Rune Quest. This entailed seeking out signs with runic symbols and translating the script into modern English. Even while saturated with entertainment, the festival was an educational experience that offered an opportunity to explore a history which is rarely adequately presented. �Sports Editor: Rest/ Grey cougarchnon.sports@gmail.com Women's Soccer looking to efsinishs estrong of ason Cougars head into final gam By Resty Grey Sports Editor The Women's Soccer team continues to display their competitive prowess under new head coach Bobby Renneisen. CSUSM opened its season with a tie against Eastern Oregon, but have gone on to win seven of their last nine matches, dropping only two games against No. 18 Masters College and No. 3 Concordia. Cougars have gathered exceptional contribution from nearly the entire team. Women's Soccer finds help on offense and defense from the starters as well as many role players coming off the bench. "We have a lot of depth on our team and it shows," senior defender, Brianne Searl, Photo by Marcel Fuentes CSUSM Women's Soccer senior defender Brianne Searl safely handles a loose ball. said in a post-game interview after having scored on a free-kick from midfield. Despite only having one goal for the season, Searl's exceptional play does not go unnoticed. Searl can defend with a forceful kick that looks to engage her entire body. When the ball nears her direction, her 5 '6 frame leaps towards it, suspending herself in midair as she gracefully snaps her foot to send the ball across the field, helping to change the momentum of the game back in CSUSM's favor. Senior defenders, Nicole Luna and Brooke Carter, spend nearly every minute of the game on the playing field alongside Searl. Luna and Carter help to find ways to stop opposing plays along with helping to dictate the playing field. Defenders Karly Dunning and Monica Aguilar show an eagerness on the field to be a part of every play. Every minute is spent zealously disrupting passes and creating offensive opportunities for the Cougars. CSUSM has seemed to have also found depth from the freshman class in defender, Morgan Simmons. Her ambition for soccer can be seen to match many of the veteran players on the team. "Our team has really been focusing on being a team," Paulina Good said in a postgame interview after having scored on a break away. "We can't just run through the games half-doing it. We have to run through the games running as hard as we can and connecting passes." Good's presence in the midfield has been a substantial addition to the Cougars' soccer prowess. Not only is she an incredible defender, she also has the ability to create opportunities for other players on her team such as Amy Albur and Amy Young. Players like Young and Albur add speed and tenacity to CSUSM's offensive arsenal. Albur's speed on the dribble is unmatched, often beating opponents down the field. The depth goes on. CSUSM has started off strong and the Cougars are hoping to continue building momentum in theirfinalfive games at home. Go Cougars!

Students at CSUSM have free access to the Clarke Field House to work out at the gym or take a variety of group fitness classes. "For instructors, classes are $20 a month or $5 a adopt healthy class, but for students they're free," the Clarke Field House receptionist said. Fitness classes are usually offered by students, dance majors doing special projects and fitness teachers from other places. This year's classes include Core and More, Full Body Challenge, Indoor Cycling, Insanity, Jiu-Jitsu, Kettlebell, Morning Bootcamp, Yoga and a rotating Mystery Class. Yoga has been a huge hit in the past, garnering the most attendees of group fitness classes. One reason for this is the potential the class has to help students relax from the pressures of studying, classes and busy schedules. In Spring 2014, yoga was offered every day, Monday through Thursday, by various teachers. This year, however, it is being offered on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and twice on Thursdays. Insanity is being taught by third-year Kinesiology major, Vanessa Estoesta, on Tuesdays and Thursdays at lifestyle Photo by Cody Cook CSUSM student Stephanie Ferro stays fit practicing yoga.

But sometimes drinking water can get boring and that's when green tea comes to the rescue. Green tea originated in China. Quite unlike the other teas, the main differences between this tea is the degree of fermentation. Though white, green, oolong and black teas come from the same plant, green tea has half the amount of caffeine found in black tea, which is the most popular one around.

Rocky Balboa's most notable quote runs through your mind as you climb up the concrete staircases coming from the drop-off zone in front of the Craven building. The training montage is famous among the minds of students here on campus. Let's face it, waiting on an elevator can be time consuming when in a hurry and the parking lots are not exactly conveniently located close to the lecture halls. How many steps do you think you take in a day here on campus? How many stairs do you think you take? Kinesiology professor, Dr. Laura De Ghetaldi, calls students on campus "Cal State Stairmasters." Melissa Browne, a junior majoring in kinesiology, wore a pedometer for a day and her results were astonishing. Starting in the Craven parking lot, Browne walked to her first class lo- cated in University Hall. Browne then walked from University Hall to the Clarke Gym for her final class of the day. She took 4,092 steps total, 394 of which were stairs. Browne burned approximately 300 calories just coming to school, not even taking into account the rest of her daily activities. Vanessa Arroyoarroyo, also a junior majoring in kinesiology, conducted the same experiment which produced similar results. Starting from the circle in front of Craven Hall, Arroyoarroyo walked to her first class located in University Hall. She then walked to her second class in Markstein Hall, followed by her final class in the Social and Behavioral Sciences Building. She walked a total of 4,104 steps and 542 stairs. Arroyoarroyo burned about 400 calories just showing up to school for three classes. This is the equivalent to that 380-calorie, grande pumpkin spice latte you enjoyed this morning. One would not believe that walking could yield such positive health ben- efits. Briskly walking around CSUSM's campus can burn some serious calories in a day, especially for those too busy with work and school to exercise daily. According to the Mayo Clinic, a brisk walk can help maintain a healthy weight, strengthen bones, as well as improve balance and coordination. Walking can also help prevent or manage certain chronic illnesses, such as high blood pressure, heart disease and type II diabetes. The Department of Health and Human Services recommends about two hours and 30 minutes per week of moderate aerobic exercise or one hour and 15 minutes of vigorous aerobic exercise. A reasonable goal for most individuals would be 30 minutes a day or two 15-minute sessions a day. So think twice next time you wait on that parking spot closer to campus or you contemplate taking the elevator. You could possibly accomplish your daily-recommended amount of exercise just parking further or taking the stairs, instead of the elevator. �Sports Editor: Rest/ Gre/ cougarchron.sports@gmail.com Good vs. bad motivation C SUSM H ome G ames from exercise and consciously choosing the right foods to eat.

Estoesta wears a turquoise tank top, black athletic running capris and black Nikes with a silver swoosh. Her hair is styled on-trend into a braid that is loose, but not messy. A floral headband holds any would-be stray hairs out of her eyes. She is probably an average height for a girl, standing a head or so shorter than 5 '10". Very quickly, she reveals herself to be a natural teacher. The Clark Field House Gym, where it's held, is a basketball gym that is used f or many other purposes. It's lined with blue padding on the walls, for some athletic-seeming reason. A lighter than sarid-colored floor glistens with a polyurethane-like substance. Near the back of the room people are waiting for the class to start, possibly scared to be in the front. Many probably came promptly at the beginning of the Clarke Field House's Group Fitness class- Photo by Sarah Hughes The doors to the Clarke Field House (CFH) Gym, where insanity is held. es on Sept. 8. The classes are scheduled through Dec. 5, and like the use of the gym here, are free to students. Teachers and staff are permitted to attend, but have to pay. "For instructors, classes are $20 a month or $5 a class, but for students they're free," the Clark Field House receptionist said. "You might want a mat if you have bad knees and need to modify, but you don't have to have one," Estoesta said before class. With a few minutes left before the class commences, there are already 19 students ready to work out. Estoesta asks the class to move forward to her, though her clear voice is easy to hear. She introduces Insanity briefly and talks about changes she has made to her lesson plan since last class. She appears organized, with a page of "blocks" printed out and easy to see from the floor since one is standing within a couple feet from it. "Blocks" are how Insanity is laid out. They are a few sets of physical movements, which help to focus on "max interval training." During the "blocks" Estoesta says the important part is to keep moving, modifying as needed. All the while, she always expects each individual's best efforts. She begins the movement part of class at 4:13 p.m. At 4:23 p.m, a newbie to Insanity will feel their lungs burning, even if they are fairly physically active. After another 10 minutes, this same newbie will wonder if time is even passing and whether they will make it through this routine. Yet in another 10 minutes, it becomes easier. Warming-up beforehand can be one strategy that helps the respiratory process. Estoesta gives a modification for many of the moves, especially some that are more difficult or exhausting. She reminds people of the moves periodically and once says "not to fall", as unsure legs seem to slip slightly due to lots of jumping around. A pair of non-slip, grippy tennis shoes seem a sensible decision to always keep in mind. Estoesta is easy to follow and motivating. She gives affirmations and counts. She does the blocks along with the class, but somehow makes it look easy, while simultaneously putting more drive into it. She doesn't even appear to break a sweat. A " ha" type of cry, reminiscent of martial arts, motivates the class to keep going. She walks around giving tips to remember, but doesn't single anyone out with these. Most importantly, she is checking for form and safety. The music is perfectly suited to whatever moves the class does. It is a work-out electronic and pop mix, that slows down for the ending stretch. The moves are different, focused and always new. A side to side move kind of resembles a turtle and hopping becomes core work. A skater move looks visually impressive, like a Just Do It advertising campaign. There are frequent water breaks and it appears that the entire class is choosing to take them. "Blocks" are followed by short, numerous rests. The "blocks" move into arm strength exercises. From an awkward, shaky plank, faces behind look thoroughly worn out. Ablock or two later, Estoesta asks if people want to keep doing pushups. A yes is won by a voisterous group of men at the back of the class, yet many of the women appear to have pushup skills too. In the last few minutes of class, Estoesta ends with some much needed stretching. If an individual has never done Insanity but is moderately active, a lot of sweating should still be expected. Soreness can be felt in the next two days; however, it will not be the worst soreness to ever have experienced. Likewise, an Ibuprofen and stretching will help somewhat. As an encouraging note, Insanity participants can look forward to appreciating their efforts in the results of such intense exercises, as the workout affects the glutes and core and leg muscles. Insanity is offered every at 4:10 p.m on Tuesday and Thursday in the CFH Gym. �Features Editor: Students supplement income with on-campus jobs By Beulah Supriya StaffWriter With high tuition rates showing no signs of significant decrease, many students have opted for campus jobs. According to CSUSM students, working on campus seems to be the safest and most convenient option around. Although this isn't the only reason, it is a major one. CSUSM student Louis Adamsel, who holds a part time job in Jamba Juice, expressed what he enjoys most about his j ob on campus. The opportunity to meet new people who h e'd never known otherwise and having an understanding manager were definitely the highlights of his j ob. Another aspect of the j ob Adamsel appreciates is the flexibility that is offered for students who work on campus. There is no clashing of classes and work because the shifts are based on the class schedule. He emphasizes that flexibility is necessary for students. He adds that managers also understand the importance of classes and are very accommodative of all the student organizations. However, the least favorable part of his j ob involves the dreaded rush hour. CSUSM student Elizabeth Rodriguez, an RA at the UVA, agrees how important flexibility is in the context of college life. Rodriguez explained that aside f rom applying and Bryant organizes the cycling classes for campus REC. As part of the cycling team, they were asked if anyone was interested in leading a group exercise for which she volunteered. "While helping others become fit, I myself have been able to improve in various areas," Bryant said. "That's how something interesting and familiar turned into a j ob." Bryant advises students regarding campus jobs. To those who are interested in obtaining or working on campus it is important to maintain a positive attitude as things do tend to get challenging. "Being motivated is important," Bryant said. "It also helps to stay focused."

Rodriguez emphasizes that her favorite aspect of working at the UVA is the community she creates. "Being the one who gets to create a small community and show care to others is what I like the most," Rodriguez said.

CSUSM Sociology professor Garry Rolison also discussed some excuses other students have used. " It's computer problems, the computer took my paper, I forgot to get my disk, I went to print it out, but the printer is no longer working," Professor Rolison said. Among other notables Professor Rolison said to have had included excuses such as, " It's today? I thought it was yesterday," "I don't remember this, you sure you said it was due today," "I didn't read the book so I couldn't answer anything," or " I d idn't know what you were talking about, I was so confused I couldn't write the assignment." CSUSM Physics professor Chuck DeLeone stated that h e'd received a range of excuses, some of them among the usual cliche excuses, while others maintained more creativity. "The other popular excuses being some traffic or vehicular excuses," Professor DeLeone said. "Every time an assignment was due, something happens to the road." Professor DeLeone began to chuckle as he remembered a more recent excuse that occurred during finals week.

Student loan debt continues to balloon at an ever faster rate due to increasing interest rates and campus tuitions and fees. At CSUSM alone, fees have gone up 97.4 percent in the last seven years. Seeing the enormity of the Contributor Hey you, I can see your bitter judgment. If you had to check right now, this article is one hundred percent about you. I get it, you're young and you've spent your whole life listening to what mommy and daddy taught you what being "lady-like" is all about. But just because what mommy and daddy believe is "lady-like" isn't how women at CSUSM choose to dress, doesn't mean you can judge others based on their wardrobe. that mqurn ing us be more successful at CSUSM. They are simply transforming what was once an affordable institution of public higher education into a private university that sucks money out of our pockets and burdens us with more debt. If we had the money to go to a private university, we might have, but since we don't, we chose CSUSM because of its reputation for quality education at a cost we could actually afford. So here's the big question, where does the money from all our fees go? Not to our faculty- that's for sure. They have not received more than a 1.34 percent raise since 2008, even though they're the ones most responsible for providing us with quality education. It's also apparently not going to the opening of more classes and class sections that we all could really use. The top CSU executives' salaries rose 71 percent from 1998 to 2011. CSUSM alone currently spends over $1 million a month (yes, a month!) on administrative salaries. That's not right, we need to stop the increases in student fees ("success" or otherwise), and make sure our money is well-spent. Administrators seem to be sucking in way more money than they should, and many students are paying more and more to have fewer available classes and less attention from their overburdened, underpaid professors than they deserve. We need to show the administration that we will no longer sit quietly while they gouge students with fee hikes and "success fees" and lo-ball faculty with inadequate pay.

This isn't okay. We're all here to earn an education.

Who gives a crap about what that boy who sits two seats behind us thinks? You look amazing. Ladies, let's take a step back and look at how we're portraying ourselves and our self-worth. Do you really n iasiir^ i fipmm mm care about what a guy thinks, at all? You shouldn't. If you do, you have bigger problems to worry about than the girl who decided she was comfortable in wearing whatever she feels like to class. Guys, you should respect women, regardless of their wardrobe. Women should not be perceived as mere sexual objects, and they are not objects for your viewing pleasure or judgement.

While there exists a small percentage of students who are involved on campus, it is overshadowed by an even greater percentage of students who lack the necessary cultural sensitivity in making our campus a welcoming environment for all marginalized and underrepresented communities. Cultural sensitivity can be defined as being aware of the cultural differences and similarities that exist between groups, which allows you to understand the multifac- eted global and local issues that trickle down and impact students on a personal, academic and behavioral level. Though there are a few faculty and staff that go out of their way to help students, there are many more who by choice or ignorance do not push a more inclusive campus where cultural sensitivity is practiced and embedded within our campus community.

Amongst ourselves there are faculty, staff and student organizations who have taken the steps to create a positive change on our campus and towards our student academic careers. We only ask that you make a commitment to better this university for the genuine interest of all future incoming students. Here are three simple ways in which you can join these efforts: Whenever you hear a rude comment made by a peer in class, challenge yourself to speak up. Regularly attend campus events that are hosted by cultural or social justice oriented groups. Push yourself to get involved in the community and do research about global issues. In Solidarity, United Students of Color Coalition Why psychology is best major By Tiffany Trent Senior Staff Writer While the overall quality of the food served in the USU is satisfactory, the fact remains that the prices for what you are receiving are higher than what some nearby competitors charge for similar products. Since the USU opened in January 2014, the majority of students have taken advantage of the quick and convenient food choices that are offered in the dining area on the fourth floor. The options offered in the U m caver a^wide range of dining opportunities, from Mexican food at Wholly Habaneros to the fried American food options at World of Wings. While these meals are generally high quality and the portion sizes generally reflect the amount you paid for them, these options still add up to a lot of money if you eat there on a regular basis. The fact is that across the street there are the same general options for a cheaper price than what is offered here on campus. Subversions is basically the same as Subway; however, at Subversions you are paying $6 to $7 for a footlong when the same kind of sandwich can be made at Subway across the street for $5 to $6. The same goes for Wholly Habaneros, whose menu is similar to that of Mr. Taco across the and staff who go above and beyond to create a more cultural intelligent campus. The institution forgives and forgets those who commit ignorant racist actions, which go against the university's mission and vision.

Also, at Mr. Taco the prices for the same options are ^generally lower, or include sides. Mr. Taco is the same quality as what is offered over here and may even be better, although that is for each individual to decide for themselves. Even World of Wings has a cheaper option across the street in the form of the Ralph's grocery store, where they sell most of the same options in their deli and even options that aren't offered here by the pound for a lower price. The only option in the USU that isn't across the street is Panda Express, which is the only Chinese food place near the campus and has a standardized price since it is a wellknown chain restaurant. Even the places that have a good portion size compared to the price can become very pricy when eaten on a regular basis, and the same goes for the options across the street. The best way to eat on a college budget is to try to only buy food from restaurants on occasion, because even if the price is fair it is still cheaper to make food at home. Even if you don't think you have time to make food for yourself in the morning, you can make it the previous night before bed and keep it in the refrigerator to quickly grab the next morning. The fact is that the grocery store is the best deal and the majority of the options here can be purchased much cheaper from the store. Ultimately, it's up to the individual to decide whether they would like to explore cheaper dining options or if it is worth paying an extra dollar or two for the convenience of on-campus dining. But at least consider buying food off campus or bringing a packed lunch from home Student takes stance against rape through visual expression By Alex Maravillas StaffWriter She has been carrying her mattress around campus for more than a couple of weeks for her senior thesis, which will continue until her alleged rapist is dislodged from the university.

The posters are on display on the third floor of the Kellogg library gallery and are open to the public. "During World War I , the government started its first major and organized propaganda, it was so effective that the same methods were used for the WW2 as well," the curator, Heather Northway, said. Posters on display are a part of Northway's private collection. With experience ranging from collection management to giving curatorial gallery talks, her main aim in having the propaganda highlighted this year is not only to observe the centenary of the First World War but also to honor the soldiers, show the changes in society and give students a new perspective with the help of these compelling visual aids. Though under the backdrop of the war, many topics are covered by the posters, right from recruitment of soldiers to buying Liberty bonds to support the war. It is during this time that Uncle Sam became an iconic figure and stayed that way ever since. Buying Liberty bonds weren't popular at first due to the low interest rates, but as the government got support from celebrities like Charlie Chaplin, the propaganda gained momentum. SAN DIEGO COMIC FEST! RETURNS 5AN PIEGO COMIC PEST/ By Elizabeth Roush StaffWriter Let's face it, Comic-Con tickets are almost impossible to- get. People spend years trying to attend this hallowed epiphany of geek fandom only to have their dreams crushed by its menacing popularity and demand. But take heart. There are other ways to satisfy your inner (or outer) nerd, and this is where San Diego Comic Fest (SDCF) soars to the rescue. Coming to San Diego on Oct. 17, 18 and 19 this year at the Town and Country Resort and Convention Center, the festival boasts a "friendly, intimate Comic-Con experience" that reflects a young, blossoming San Diego International Comic-Con at its modest beginnings. This is a convention where fans can interact directly with a number of professionals they admire. The epic list of professionals for this year includes Nebula and Hugo Award-winning authors, artists who worked on animated classics such as "Avatar: The Last Airbender," ef- fects creators from movies including "X-Men: The Last Stand" and "Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back", not to mention Comic Festl's guest of honor, the iconic comic artist Neal Adams. Not only is SDCF's guest list studded with science fiction and comic big shots, but the festival also announces a number of fun attractions. There will be a café themed after Rob Serling's "The Twilight Zone," live music by Madus as well as The Digital Lizards of Doom, live sculpting demos and a caricaturist among other daytime attractions. The festival's Artist Alley contains an impressive number of talented exhibitors and there will be a slew of interesting panels to attend. On top of all this, San Diego Comic Fest will host its second annual masquerade, the "Masked Ball," on Saturday night. The hero that fanatics of Southern California deserve, San Diego Comic Fest 2014 promises a fun and relaxing weekend for appreciators of science fiction and comics. It's a place to meet fans and professionals, try something new and indulge your nerdier side. "Induldge your nerdier side!" a Soldier." Ms. Northway brought to notice the fact that all shown in the posters were fair skinned, but times have changed and now various ethnicities are shown as an integral part of the country. Women slowly gained prominence in society and it was during this time that they started working in numbers which was more than ever before.

You pay for the movie, the popcorn and the Swedish Fish with money and the experience with your time. "The Maze Runner" is a breath of fresh air, as it is everything a dystopian book-tofilm adaptation should be and is anything but a processed film that fades from memory on the walk to your car. Thomas, played by Dylan O'Brien (Teen Wolf, The Internship) finds himself elevated into the Glade, a forest inhabited by boys ranging in age from pre-teen to young adult. A massive mechanized stonewall surrounds the Glade with doors that open at sunrise and close at sunset. These doors reveal the maze, a complex network of corridors whose wall shift into different position every night. The Gladers notice Maze that Thomas is unlike the others because of his unrelenting curiosity. It is clear to everyone, especially the first Glader introduced to the maze, Alby (Ami Ameen) and the suspicious Gaily (Will Poulter) that his arrival is significant as things begin to change after a relatively predictable three years of coexistence. As Thomas attempts to make sense of his purpose and identify their imprisonment without any memory of the past, the movie takes the audience on a thrill ride as heart-pumping as a night in the maze. O'Brien was unquestionably convincing as the brave Thomas. Every relationship formed between O'Brien and his co-stars seemed genuine and made for a more poignant delivery of the film's message. Aside from the theme of bravery and the responsibility that comes with it, "The Maze Runner" communicated the impor- Netflix Review 5/5 find.

There was never a dull moment and the end had me marking the calendar for the next installment. "The Maze Runner" holds its own with impressive cinematography and a fastpaced storyline that felt as if it ended too soon. There are elements of mystery, action and beauty, leaving no base uncovered. The only area for improvement I noticed was 2/5 the character development but since there are more chapters to this one, that may come later. I also wish "The Maze Runner" came before "Divergent" and "The Giver" because it seems as though the young adult, post-apocalyptic wave is losing momentum, as did the vampires and the zombies. Still, this one is a truly entertaining experience that is very much worth the watch. P AWS Odd Thomas is an odd failure dead every day of the year.

If they don't succeed, dark forces will overwhelm the town. Fast paced and clever, "Odd Thomas" has a lot of promise. It's an intriguing mystery with moments that will make you laugh out loud. The movie stars the talented Anton Yelchin who is best known for his portrayal of Chekov in the recent Star Trek movies and also known as Charlie Bartlett from "Charlie Bartlett." With that kind of acting talent, you'd think that nothing could go wrong and it doesn't for the first quirky and enjoyable hour. It's better than average as a supernatural, comedy/ mystery, but the movie sets itself up as a completely charming romance as well. To skirt a spoiler, we'll just let you know that there is a common plot twist that allows the male character to avoid any relationship maintenance and in short, fails the romance angle. Some Dean Koontz readers forgave that plot twist are ongoing Odd Thomas fans, which might mean another movie one of these days. I may be too mad to watch another one, which is a shame because "Odd Thomas" started off so great. You decide, but for me it's two out of five paws. �A & E Editor: Faith Orcino cougarchron.arts@gmail.com The Cougar Chronicle, Wednesday, October 8,2014 A& E CD and DVD dropping A l t - J a n d A g e of Extinction By Ariel Robbins Radio Assistant New Years Day "Sleeplessly Embracing" Alt-J's new album At long last, English band Alt-J dropped their second album "This Is All Yours" on Sept. 22. Barely into its highly anticipated availability, "This Is All Yours" reached number one on charts in the UK, and topped globally in five other countries. The band's previous album, "An Awesome Wave," was nominated for three British music awards and went on to win the Mercury Award, issued to the UK's best album by well-regarded officials in the industry. "Hunger of the Pine" was the first track released and propelled fans into a conflicting onset of emotions due to the unexpected cameo of Miley Cyrus after the first few verses. Love her or hate her, most can't help but head-bob anyways. There's no denying that "Hunger of the Pine" is only one of thirteen knockout tracks that'll have you wondering what on earth you'd been doing with your life before listening. Luckily for fans, Alt-J is touring across both America and Europe to promote their new album. More information their tour can be found at: aljband.com.

Despite harsh reviews and a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 3.8/10 from the critics and 3.3/5 from the fans, lovers of blaring mechanical robofights and Mark Wahlberg will not be disappointed. The story follows protagonist Cade Yeager (Wahlberg) in his desperate attempts to rescue his daughter, Tessa, from her bounty hunter kidnappers. Of course being a Transformer movie, the plot could not be complete unless the world was under attack and needed the assistance of Bumblebee and his fellow robotic buds.

The rally was organized in response to the pending investigation of the Tau Rho chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon.

Karen GuzmXn, who organized the rally along with members of Feminists Anonymous, did this to specifically offer support to survivors of all sexual violence. "Being survivors ourselves, we know what this process feels like," GuzmXn said. "There is so much that goes into being victimized and we just want this survivor to know that we stand behind them." Although TKE is not a recognized organization at CSUSM, the alleged sexual assault is closely associated with students and the surrounding campus community. Jeff Salas, the chapter President of TKE, explains that fraternity members are doing what they can to aid the investigation. "We have been coop- erating with anything that law enforcement has asked us to do to help with the situation," Salas said. The university also responded to these reports by focusing on student welfare and encouraging any victim of sexual assault to take advantage of confidential counseling services. "The safety and well-being of our entire campus community is our highest priority," CSUSM's Public Information Officer, Margaret Chantung, said. "We will not tolerate nor ignore sexual assault and we .will hold members of our community accountable for their actions." Chantung emphasized the university's involve^ ment in this investigation by sharing their partnership with the California Attorney General's Office and local law enforcement. '"^Chese - i ssues : "haver ' l e^ suited in an increase of student concern and public awareness of sexual assault in the community. Karen GuzmXn and other members of Feminists Anonymous explain that being able to confront this violence is the most important thing. "We want to create a campus who is talking about it.

Although the local fraternity has not been a recognized organization since 2005, the TKE rape and sexual assault allegations may have had a significant impact on sororities and fraternities at CSUSM.

B Y KATLIN SWEENEY B Y RYAN D OWNS AND K ATUN SWEENEY NEWS EDITOR & EDITOR-IN-CHIEF For years, students at CSUSM have used the Industrial district on Barham and Discovery Street as a place to park their cars during school hours. However, that's all coming to an end this semester, now that a new City Ordinance is limiting parking in the area to only two hours in some sections, and restricting it altogether in others. Naturally, this presents a problem to students who may need to park on campus for more than just a single class. It's easy to see the effectiveness of the streets near La Moree as a haven for students looking to escape some of the more expensive parking lots offered by the school. However, perhaps most affected by the change are the approximately 300 new students moving into The Quad, itself without a specific, designated parking area. This forces residents to make the often-excessive trip to the parking structure or UVA lot. "You have no choice but to park on campus if you want to go to the classes you paid for, and that's not only expensive, i t's a huge hassle," one student resident at The Quad said. "Not only do I have to walk up a huge hill every time I want to go somewhere, but if I want my car parked the whole day, I have to pay for a parking permit. So basically, living at The Quad now costs $600 more than it used to." Students face parking restrictions on the following streets: Industrial Street, East Carmel Street, Enterprise Street, Distribution Street, Production Street, Hill Dr., Trade Street, Venture Street and La Moree Road. There is two hour parking, 24 hours a day, seven days a week in these sections. However, there is no parking allowed between 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Mondays for street sweeping. Students that are in violation of these new rules will face citations starting at $48 per ticket. The cost of purchasing a parking pass at CSUSM is $643 per academic year and $338 a semester, which leaves students frustrated and searching for alternatives. Students who opt out of this method of payment are forced to either use the ticket systems in the parking lots, which can cost up to $9 a day, orriskparking on campus without any pass whatsoever, which may result in a parking ticket from UPD. "It's completely unnecessary and unfair," one student, who wished to remain anonymous, said. If students choose to opt out of utilizing the parking structure, the other option is purchasing a monthly pass from the Sprinter/Breeze Station. Students are allowed to park their vehicles at any of the sprinter stops for free and then ride the sprinter to campus. This option of purchasing such a pass is available to CSUSM students for $40. However, the city is keen to point out that the matter has more to do with local homeowners and businesses than the school and its costs. Karl Schwann, the Director of Housing and Neighborhood Services, has said that student parking in the area has prevented street sweeping, accumulating up to 1,500 pounds of debris. A lot of this ends up in the sewer, with the ultimate cost of polluting the ocean. The city council voted 5-0 in July on the matter, which also takes into account alleged complaints from businesses and homes on the street. While many students continue to complain and seek out alternatives for parking this semester, there is no plans for changing the current status of parking around the university.

Heart Beat ALS Ice Bucket Challenge defined SY A LEXIS S AUCEDO SPORTS COLUMNIST Who would have thought that a bucket of ice water could raise over $100 million for ALS research, as well as bring awareness to so many? The latest craze has swept the nation the last few months, taking Facebook in particular by storm. All the cool kids are doing it; even celebrities such as LeBron James and Jennifer Lopez have jumped on the bandwagon. So what is the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge? More importantly, what is ALS? There are many cold water challenges out there, but the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, all its authenticity, can be credited to Pete Frates. According to syracuse.com, Frates is a former Boston College baseball star, who is two years into an ALS diagnosis. The rapidly progressive disease has since claimed Frates' ability to walk and talk. Yet, Frates still managed to take part in the Ice Bucket Challenge with a smile last month in Fenway Park, with all of his family and friends by his side. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, ALS stands for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and is considered to be a neuromuscular disease. ALS is also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease and can be more specifically classified as a motor neuron disease. According to the NIH, motor neurons serve as the communication between the nervous system and the voluntary muscles of the body. In ALS, motor neurons die and the brain loses the ability to control voluntary movement. The NIH states that the average life expectancy of individuals with ALS is two tofiveyears and the majority die from respiratory failure* This is due to the weakening of muscles in the diaphragm. The NIH also says that symptoms associated with ALS vary widely from tight muscles to slurred speech. Individuals suffering from ALS do not lose all cognitive ability, therefore they are often aware of the rate at which their body is betraying them. Due to the similarity of symptoms with other diseases, no one test can be used to confirm ALS. As a result, physicians rely on a compilation of neurological exams, as well as an extensive medical history, to diagnose each patient. While the cause of ALS is still unknown, scientists are investigating specific genetic mutations and exposure to certain environmental toxins as possible causes. With over 12,000 individu- als in the United States who are suffering from ALS, an Ice Bucket Challenge might be just what scientists needed to fund research for a cure. According to the New York Daily News, prior to the Ice Bucket Challenge, fundraising efforts for ALS research only raised $26.3 million this past fiscal year. Now, how can you join the already three million people who have donated to ALS? Originally, it was customary to wait for a tag on Facebook, daring you to either complete the challenge within twenty-four hours or donate. This challenge has grown so large it is now a movement and many are accepting the challenge for fun, in addition to donating* Those wishing to donate to ALS research or other charities associated with the disease can visit alsa.org.

Photo by Miguel Magana. Women's soccer coach Bobby Renneisen heads new era for this new challenge. "I was really fortunate to be able to handle day to day operations during practices as if I were the head coach," Renneisen said. "I wasn't out there just fetching cones, I was able to be a part of the required hands-on duties of coaching, which has allowed me to make a seamless transition into head coach/' With the season being its early stages, Renneisen will be relying upon his veterans, which includes nine seniors and four juniors. Unfortunately, the women's soccer team has been blind sided by a slew of unrelenting injuries, which has forced the squad to redshirt six players. However, according to the new Head Coach, that is the name of the game and that shouldn't prevent his team from achieving success. "We do not have any specific, one standout or all-star type of player on this team," Renneisen said. "We are going to get this done collectively as a unit to become a team that achieves our goals." Men's soccer head coach Ron Pulvers returns with bigger focus Renneisen is confident that his team's leaders will help them succeed this season. "Our captains Nicole Luna and Natalie Lara are players that will have leadership roles, but we have plenty of experienced players that we will rely upon so J look at leadership among the whole squad to be key." Coach Renneisen is looking forward to continuing a winning tradition that includes four Association of • Independent Institutions (A.1.1.) titles, most recently in 2013, along with five appearances at the NAIA national tournament. "We want to repeat as conference champions again and get back to Orange Beach, Alabama to compete with the best teams around the coun try," Renneisen said. "Last season we advanced to the second round and I would like to improve on that by advancing even further into the tournament.-Being able to go play against some of the best teams last year has given us plenty of experience for the upcoming season: B YSHAINAPÀRDO SENIOR STAFF WRITER Ron Pulvers' role in the CSUSM Athletics Department has changed despite continuing as head coach of the men's soccer team. Returning for his ninth season, Men's Soccer Head Coach Ron Pulvers -has decided to focus on just the men's team instead of coaching both men's and women's soccer teams. "I could spend more quality 'time with the players, providing more opportunities for them to learn and it adds life, balance and initiative of NCAA," Pulvers said. Pulvers believes with his new sole focus on the men's soccer team, he better benefit the team entering the NCAA Division 2. As the 2014 season begins, all thé talk is about how exciting it is to be getting ready to join other NCAA competitors next season. Pulvers is ready to end this last season in the NAIA with a bang. "Going to NCAA D2 is a big excitement for everyone," Pulvers said. "It adds to our recruiting profile and being affiliated with the NCAA label is a big recognition and it will help our program in every way. The NCAA will be a challenging experience but it will make us get stronger as a whole team." In regards to this season, Pulvers believes that the men's soccer team has experienced players and a handful of fresh new talent that could benefit the team in massive ways. "He inspires all of us to be better players. How [he is] encouraging and positive about every aspect, and as a result it reflects on how we play and how much we want to be here. We practice harder because of him," senior athlete, Evan Myers, said. The upcoming season appears to be one that the team is looking forward to overall. "He likes to change it up a lot and keeps you on your toes. We have to be aware for , anything he's going to throw at you," athlete, Erik Mueller, said. "I am excited for this season now that he is just coaching the men's [soccer] team. He has so much more time to focus on just the men and he has that extra enthusiasm to pump the team." �cH^rchron.sports@gmaii.com TlIE CoUGAR CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER I O , 2 O I 4 S P O R T S * W hat s tudents listen t o a t C ougar g ym Music to keep motivated B Y MACKENZIE CLARK ASSISTANT TO THE SPORTS EDITOR Many CSUSM students often listen to hiphop and rap while running . on the treadmill or lifting weights at The Clarke gym.

Music can be a way to help motivate not only this soccer player during workouts, but also anyone getting through those last five grueling minutes on the treadmill. Austin Schiff is a student that is not on a sports team this semester, but is a - Clarke regular. An avid listener of music for both reasons of pure motivation and relaxation, Schiff enjoys listening to hip-hop, rap and trap music while working out. "Those beats get me pumped so I am able to perform [my] best," Schiff said. His favorite song, "On Top," produced by his favorite artist, Flume, features a hook by New York based RAP artist T.Shirt, repeating phrases that express a desire to reach "the top." However, not everyone is picky about his or her choice of music. Freshmen men's b asketball player, Dylan Eamigh* has a playlist filled with various artists from genres like hip-hop, rap and R&B that he prefers to put on shuffle. For these and many other students on campus, music is what keeps them pumped throughout the day and during long hours of working out. "Those beats get me pumped..." Projected gymnasium expected to expand student community Building student spirit in the Cougar experience B Y BURTLAND D IXON STAFF WRITER CSUSM takes a huge stride in building campus pride with the addition of a new state-of-the-art basketball gymnasium, scheduled to be complete and ready for use by the start of 2016 women's volleyball season. The possibilities this gym could have for positively impacting the experiences of students are limitless. "I think it's another building to bring the community together," CSUSM third year track athlete, Allen Brown, said. "With the gym, it's like we'll be able to see our basketball team and I know we have a great team but it's just hard to go out and see their games." Due to not having a large gym, CSUSM has struggled in some ways to increase the size of crowds in attendance at games. Lacking a football team at CSUSM seems to also be a common topic of discussion with students and athletes. However, lacking a local gymnasium to cheer for the Cougars that play indoor sports remains one of the biggest concerns on campus. Without this resource, students do not have a large scale location to cheer on their peers and participate in the game day experience. "I think it definitely opens people's eyes to be active in college and with it being on campus people aren't going to worry about driving to the other gym," student Brianny Williams, set to graduate in 2015, said. "I think it will affect our college campus as well as probably get more prospective students instead of students not wanting to come when they see we don't even have a gym." Home basketball and volleyball games are currently played off campus, forcing CSUSM athletes to drive a number of miles to compete in what is considered to be a. "home" game With a staggering 1 percent of students living on campus, this gym will allow the other 99 percent to feel like they are part of a school community and express their Cougar pride.

The Ombuds Office is a unique space on campus in which individuals can discover what resources are available to them and talk through issues such as communication difficulties, conflicts with peers or individuals with more power than them. Because it is separate from administration and is completely confidential, all students, faculty and staff can use this resource without worrying if their feelings will cause problems at work or school . Dr. Fritz Kreisler, from Student Health and Counseling Services, has been part of the Ombuds staff for a few years and has spoken with faculty and staff about personal issues as well as those that arise in the workplace. He has discovered that many times, individuals are in need of guidance to direct them as to how to best address conflict, what the policies and procedures at CSUSM are and how to find solutions. "I think that it helps tb find actual pathways, bring people together and sometimes work towards a compromise," Kreisler said. "It is amazing how much you can sort it out into this or that. We look at the options you have, how you can move past things and sort out issues while shedding light on them." Dr. Kara Kornher, from Disabled Student Services, joined the Ombuds staff eight months ago to serve as the consultant for students. She has found that all students can benefit from an open, informal conversation with someone that is willing to listen and help. "It is the opportunity to see problems get solved and to see people take responsibility, and take charge, of what is happening to them," Kornher said. "This way, they do not feel like a passive victim. They have choices, options and they can make informed decisions." Both Kornher and Kreisler credit the Ombuds Office for being a unique resource in the sense that neither of them will repeat any of the information that is told to them and they do not keep records of who visits the office. Any notes that are taken during a session are immediately shredded to keep the highest degree of confidentiality in place.

Extended learning: CSUSM self-support division Learning in school and beyond B Y JAMES MASSENGALE W EB ASSISTANT Photo provided Noelle Friedberg. B Y NOELLE FRIEDBERG OPINION EDITOR Everybody dreads that day of the week when they have a four hour gap in between their classes. You can choose to leave campus when you have a break in between classes, or you can save some gas and hang around. If you decide to stay on campus and wait it out on your break, here are some things you can do to fill the time: 1. Watch a movie in the library. Some students may not know this, but you can actually check out movies from the Kellogg Library at the media library on the firstfloor.They have a wide variety of new and old movies, as well as private study rooms with TVs, DVDs and VHS players for moviewatching. Or you can watch a DVD on one of the many computers in the first-floor computer lab. If you have Netflix, think about watching it on your laptop, or on one of the computers in the library during your break. 2. Grab lunch with a friend. This one may take some planning ahead. If you're stuck on campus with nothing to do, text a friend or plan to have lunch together. There are some yummy food options on campus in the new USU building. Or you can pack yourselves a lunch and enjoy a nice picnic on a grassy spot somewhere on campus. 3. Take a nap. Everybody knows the couches in the reading room on the top floor of the library are the perfect place for a nap, and if you don't, you're missing out. Or you canfinda nice shady spot under one of the trees somewhere on campus. You can even take a nap in your car. Naps are the perfect way to recharge in between classes 4. Do homework. While this isn't the most exciting option, it is a productive way to spend your break. Long breaks are an excellent time to catch up on homework or to get ahead on your studying 5. Get caffeine!

Head over to the campus coffee cart in the founders plaza They have one of the sweetest chai tea lattes around Extended Learning offers exciting opportunities to students that they may not be aware, or take advantage of. Laura Segall, Marketing and Public Information Officer for CSUSM Extended Learning, discussed the opportunities Extended Learning (EL) has to offer for CSUSM students. Segall explained how the breadth of programs, courses and certificates are extensive and present a myriad of possibilities for students. Extended Learning is not just responsible for organizing Summer Session and Winter Intersession. This educational arm of CSUSM operates all the international programs for the university, such as Study Abroad. It also simultaneously takes steps to involve businesses in the region (e.g. ViaSat)—businesses and organizations which CSUSM students may one day enjoy working for. This fall, Extended Learning offers its usual programs in Science, Business and Legal Studies, to name a few, but also introduces a new program in water leadership, with another program in cyber security on the way. Programs for credit are not the only opportunities available for CSUSM students. There are several certificate programs offered as well. Tasting room management is one of several courses involved with the budding, or experienced, sommelier's growth in the wine industry. Wine is not the only thing under the Californian sun, EL also offers certificates in digital arts, education and paralegal work. "All of these programs help prepare people for jobs," Segall said. In addition to the programs and certificates offered, Segall explained how affordable Extended Learning programs are. "The cost of our programs truly reflects what they cost," Segall said. Extended Learning is the "self-support division" that benefits the community at not-for-profit rates. There is an added bonus according to this fall's Extended Learning Catalog: CSUSM Alumni Members may actually receive a 15 percent discount on "most non-credit programs." As students continue to graduate, there may be a remarkable growth of the extended learning program. "We started a Temecula campus in 2009 that is 100 percent extended learning," Segall said; "This fall, we've started a second Temecula campus at the Old City Hall building in Temecula, which is a partnership between Mount San Jacinto College, CSUSM Temecula and the City of Temecula." On top of the new buildings that will benefit incoming students, Segall informed that EL has grown by about 20 percent a year for the last three years. "Of the 23 CSU's, Extended learning at CSUSM, last year, ranked number 10 in terms of revenue generation," Segall said. Segall suggests for CSUSM students to look at the website at csusm.edu/el, review the catalog and discover what Extended Learning can offer. �Features Editor: Nada Sewidan cougarchron.features@gmail.com Aback X school ) list f or Campus Recreation E vents, e xcursions o ffered B Y N ADA SEWIDAN FEATURES EDITOR Zombie runs, ultimate frisbee tournaments, backpacking in the Sierra Nevada, karaoke nights at the USU- just a few of the many trips and events Campus Recreation has to offer.

"We want to get students to experience new things." Ortega recalls a memorable past experience with Campus Rec and how a new CSUSM foreign exchange student once joined them on a surfing excursion. The student did not know how to surf, and, on top of that, had never even seen an ocean before. Other students on the excursion partnered together, supplied her with surfboards and taught her how to swim. "They gave her the best experience," Ortega said. "That's the way Campus Rec works." Campus Rec offers a multitude of events and trips throughout the semester. Some of these trips include kayaking in La Jolla Cove, surfing, hiking San Marcos' own Double Peak Trail, climbing in Joshua Tree, paddle boarding on the Carlsbad Lagoon and paintballing in Camp Pendleton. In addition, archery lessons for students are available at a discounted rate. Students can also choose from intramural teams such as flag football, soccer, softball and dodgeball. Sports clubs associated with Campus Rec also provide cycling, dance, lacrosse and volleyball teams. The prices for events and trips range from free to $95. However, space is limited and usually caps out at about eight to 10 students for weekend trips such as Joshua Tree or Sierra Nevada, and around 15 to 20 students on day trips such as hiking or surfing. Campus Rec's hours are 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. Photo provided by Campus Recreation. to 6 p.m. on Saturday in clubs, not to mention the the Clarke Field House. obstacle courses and food.

Campus faculty member Starr-McLin creates and oversees programs aimed at promoting health and wellness, as well as student involvement here in Campus Recreation. Specifically, Starr-McLin is in charge of outreach and tiny tournaments. Starr-McLin's favorite part about CSUSM is the overwhelming sense of community felt on campus. Recreation Program Specialist, however, was not Starr-McLin's first position at CSUSM. She has worn many hats here at the university and has, in fact, been employed by our institution for over a decade. Starr-McLin is extremely delighted that her position does not require her to be "chained," so to speak, to her desk all day. She thoroughly enjoys interacting with her fellow staff-mates as well as the student body. "I like it (working with Campus Recreation) because it's different from day to day," Starr-McLin said. "I'm not stuck behind a computer all day, and I get to plan activities with the students." She currently attends Ashford University, an institution headquartered in downtown San Diego, and is earning her degree in Sports and Recreation Management with a minor in Business Management.

BY COLLIN V AZ ASSISTANT TO THE NEWS EDITOR The alarm rings sharply at 4am. The occasion does not call for work or school; therefore, the grogginess that generally overcomes one's senses at this hour is nowhere to be found. Pierre quietly grabs his duffle bag and ice chest and heads for the door. The predawn energy has an eerie though peaceful stillness. The passing of time has yet to take hold of the day. Upon arrival to his destination, Pierre opens the trunk and pauses to admire the sound of waves crashing nearby. After a calming breath, he begins preparing f or what he came to do. Slipping on his neoprene camo wetsuit, memories of his first dive surface in his mind, creating an undeniable sense of nostalgia. Eyeing his, favorite sandy cove, he slings the remaining gear over his shoulder and starts the short hike to the beach. Before stashing the rucksack behind a rock, he removes his most vital piece of equipment, his speargun. It is a handmade teak wood work of art, crafted by Daryl Wong- the state gun of Ha- waii. Once at the water's edge, Pierre steps into his three feet long carbon fiber fins and secures his dive mask and snorkel over his face. Running through a last mental checklist, he makes sure his knife is sheathed in his belt and wades out into the water before kicking out into the depths in search of yellowtail, dorado and the elusive white sea bass. Pierre, a CSUSM student, is not alone in his distinct adventures. Many San Diegans have taken to the "Spearo" lifestyle, reaping both the physical and men- tal benefits of this pastime. For spearfishing enthusiasts, the obvious dangers of such a hobby are outweighed by the blissful solitude that exists in the depths. However, diving to depths of forty plus feet on a single breath requires an immense amount of physical proficiency and emotional discipline. Although not a lifestyle suited for all personality types, Pierre describes his love for diving as an "escape from everyday life like no other." He heeds warning to anyone wishing to take up spearfishing and reminds novices that it is crucial to always dive with a buddy and stay within one's limits. It is recommended that beginners practice dive techniques in a safe coastal swimming area, during calm water conditions, with no spear gun, before attempting to venture out in search of game fish. For more information, clubs and forums, such as the San Diego Free Divers and the Spearboard, are some of the resources available. "From birth, man carries the weight of gravity on his shoulder. He is bolted to earth. But man has only to sink beneath the surface and he is free."

I I heard a dad say, "People witnessed a perfect example I 'm friends with on Faceof the flaw in this tendency book always tell me I have the happiest son in the world. But they only think that because I don't post pictures of him when he's crying." It can also be extremely tempting to compare ourselves to our classmates. The guy who sits in front of you got a higher score on the test he didn't even study for, while you studied for hours and you failed it. Or that girl's parents pay for her education while you have to work two part-time jobs just to support yourself. But here's the thing, comparing ourselves to others doesn't "fix" any of the problems we face or see in our own lives. It only brings us down. Break out of the destructive cycle of constantly comparing by thinking instead of how you can work harder to do better next time, or by developing an attitude of gratitude. Instead of envying the lives and possessions of others, choose to be satisfied with your own circumstances. It is a much more rewarding way to live, if you ask me. You might be surprised by how much better you feel when you break out of the small but dangerous habit of comparing yourself to others. Can You Really Find Love Online?

BY JASMINE DEMERS ASSISTANT TO THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Never in a million years did I think that I would be married at 20 years old. I was supposed to just think that boys had cooties for the rest of my life. Yeah, right. Most of us know it doesn't work that way, and have an undeniable desire to love and to give into attraction. So yes, I fell in love and married my high- school sweetheart, and I can honestly say that I have never been happier in my life. I want to make a case for young love and young marriage. People should know that being young does not automatically assume a mere "puppy love" capability. A person's heart doés not simply become "mature" enough to love when you hit a certain age. It is a constant and ever-evolving inner emover-evolvine tion, and it is indestructible. When I married my husband, it was like I was suddenly sitting in an interrogation room, awaiting my own persecution. Everywhere I looked , I found judgment and misunderstanding. I could probably write a book about all of the young marriage stereotypes I've heard, so, let's start with the top three myths of young marriage: Number one: The only reason you could possibly get married that young is because you're pregnant. Nope, not in my case. Believe it or not, I got married simply because I am head over heels in love. I found an amazing friend and partner in crime that I want to share the rest of my life with. Number two: You must have had a courthouse wedding. Wrong again! I was married in a beautiful church surrounded by myfriendsand family. I hadflowers,a white gown and the whole shabang. Number three: You don't have family support. Just because YOU might not agree with young marriage, does not mean tha my family is hat unsupportive. They have stood by me through everything and I am very proud of the relationship that my parents have with my husband. Myths = busted. I think it's important for people to understand that it is okay to be in love. It is okay to give someone your everything, and to allow them to love you - back . I'm definitely not saying that you should get married after dating someone for a month, or after saying "I love you" for the first time; however, it is completely okay to make that decision when it is right for you and right for the person you love, whether that is at 20 years old or 60 years old. No one should ever tell you that it isn't okay to express feelings of love based on specific standards set by society. Young love is not wrong and you do not have to accept that ignorance. If you have the opportunity to share that with someone, then you have to hold onto it. Things in our lives are always coming and going, but true love will be constant and lasting. Reasons to wait to get married Why some young marriages can be unsuccessful the relationship is still fresh has its appeal, but there are For many students, and a few reasons to wait until people in general, the ques- the end of your time in coltion of when to get married lege.

Some of the other reasons to wait have to do with finances and continuing your education. I'm not saying you can't be in college while you're married, but it can make decisions like choosing the location of your desired university easier, especially if you or your partner plan on attending graduate school. Marrying later in life may lead you to be more financially independent as well, so that your future married life can be more stable. m . -mm A A ;a• ublic transportation saves money, reduces stress Sprinter Compass Pass Loads Photos provided by Erich Alle» and Matthew J, Kulhman. ssiMmmmmi sîââ * B Y E RICH A IXEH STAFF1 WEITER Paying out the wazoo for a parking permit?

While a yearlong CSUSM parking permit is $676, a full school year worth of Sprinter Compass Pass Loads comes out t o only $400 ($40 per month), or even $320 if you're thrifty. It's a fantastic opportunity that Parking and Commuter Services provides for us students. I took advantage of it for the Fall 2013 and Spring 2014 semesters, parking at the Escondido Transit Center from the 15 North. Not once did I have to deal with traffic on the 15/78, or worry about my vehicle as the lot is monitored by NCTJ> security. The train was never late ~ it remains my most reliable method of travel, unlike the unpredictability of sporadic freeway jams or traffic lights. Additionally, my daily trip from Escondido to Cal State has pro« vided me with vital studying time before crudal exams. More and more students are realizing the benefits of the publictransit option. When CSUSM ^and NCTD first began their sprinter deal in Spring of 2007, only 22 students applied. That number is now up to 430 per month. That's 430 students who are minimizing their fees, saving gas and reducing the overall amount of commuters on the road.

As it is with most things, you never really know what you're getting into until you'rerightin the middle of it. Once I was in college, I realized that it wasn't as difficult as its reputation made it seem. I enjoyed the flexible schedule, and* that I wasn't stuck in a chair from 7:30 a.m.. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday. In my mind, graduate work was still a whole different story. I knew that class numbers would change from 101 to 555, and that even'if I put my best effort in, there was still a chance of failure. I endeci up going for it anyway. I enrolled in the Middle-level Education Credential program through CSUSM so that I could eventually teach middle-school math. The program has a stellar reputation among educators, and I knew that it would be no easy feat. It consisted of veiy in-depth instruction on how to best teach children, providing me with two opportunities for which I could practice in the classroom setting at different local middle schools. I learned to teach kids of different cultures, languages and learning needs that all happened to meet in the same classroom to learn math. will I motivate kids to be As I feared, it wasn't life-long learners?

If you want to be a teacher and cannot decide what program to enroll in, I highly recommend the middle-level program. The professors are passionate about what they teach, and gefting the chance to enrich the lives of middle school students on a daily basis is so rewarding. �10 A&E Editor: Faith O rciño cougarchron.arts@gmail.com Netflix Review Cafe de Flore In theatres now The Giver: Giving life new meaning B Y LEXY PEREZ ASSISTANT TO THE A & E EDITOR B Y KAYLA ARBINI STAFF W RITER The exploration of human interconnectedness in cinema is not a novel concept. It is frequently purported that the theme of integral human relationships can be found in almost every genre of film from the outlandish science fiction to even the radical dark fantasy. After all, it is not too often that a film manages to capture the essence of such congruence with a lens of realism that transcends the complexities of such a familiar concept, making it as effortlessly simple, as the concept lends itself to be. French-Canadian director Jean-Marc Vallee governs the notion of love and its timeless interrelation in his film Cafe de Flore (2011) with an artistic reverence simultaneously sensual and melancholic.

Being the young protégé to his teacher, The Giver (Jeff Bridges), guides Jonas through a journey in which he learns about the world he never knew existed- feeling the natural human responses of emotions represented through visions received from the Giver. The film takes the audience on a journey through Jonas' widening view of his surrounding world that leaves them pondering over life's purpose and whether they have done an adequate job at appreciating the world they live in. While Bridges resembles a kooky elder that failed to receive daily adequate sleep, his interaction with Thwaites is both charming and respected. Their trusted camaraderie creates an unbreakable bond that could rank with the likes of Anakin and Obi-Won or Dumbledore and Harry Potter. Following the typical young-adult plotline, Jonas is a young hero yearning to break free from his society's way of life, who Thwaites with his Hollywood looks and relatable demeanor proves he isn't just a newcomer, but a rising movie star.

If Noyce released the film prior to its fellow dystopian tales, it might've avoided the immediate comparisons and categorization of another cliché, dystopian teen film. What sets this film apart from the rest is its attempt to take a simple plot line and tackle complicated themes of conformity, identity, cama- raderie and death, all with ease. "The Giver" may seem like another film to add to the list of dystopian tales, but its uniqueness qualifies it as a front-runner amongst its counterparts. Aside from being an entertaining adaptation, it gives audience members something to consider when choosing how to live their lives. 4.5/5 PaWs Musician spotlight O ver soul's A lexa V illa C h e c k out t he l atest C ougar Shuffle online! vww.csusmchronicle.com By Z ach S chanzenbach W elcome b ack to school!

Every semester, one of CSUSM's graduating theater or VPA students gets the opportunity to showcase their work to the school with a capstone project. For theater students, this involves adapting a play to stage (or, if they're bold enough, writing their own) to perform in front of the school. This October, Alex Conteras will instead be adapting one of his favorite movies to the stage for three nights only. "I went with this story because I feel that it is more than a 80s movie" Contreras said. "The movie really is timeless, and it really resonates with high school students. Even now, almost 30 years after it came out, the movie is still relevant." It is not difficult to see the effectiveness of the transition from film to stage. Most of thefilmtakes place in a single classroom, with a principal cast of about six characters. "What lends Breakfast Club well to theater is that the story is set in a single lo- cation, which makes it ideal to stage great characters that everyone can relate to in some way," Contreras said. He even goes so far as to say the entire screenplay is left more or less unchanged in the transition. "I did not want to ruin what John Hughes, the author, wrote. All I wanted to do was tweak it in a few places to make it flow better as a play," Contreras said. He said that the only necessary changes are added dialogue, referencing important events that take place outside of the classroom setting in the film. "The set for our production will be more done with the idea that less is more.... The play is much more about the kids and their relationship to each other than it is about the library they are in," said Contreras. "Another change is that me and my director are trying to emphasize the fact that the play is timeless.... Will there be references to the 80s? Sure, but there may also be references to the 50s, the 90s and the early 2000s". Although his passion for the project shines through, Contreras had his share of difficulties in making his dream a reality. He recounts his surprise when very few people showed up to audition, initially causing him to reach out to friends he knew A & E Editor: Faith Orcino cougarchron.arts@gmail.com B y KaTIE Gabner of the Chronicler, a man sent to record the tale of Kvothe.

"The moment the audience sees them onstage," Contreras said. "They'll know who each person is playing." Picking a favorite character was a slight challenge for Contreras, but not impossible. "A lot of the things Andrew does and says, I can relate to, but I'd have to say Brian," he said. "He's a smart, goal- oriented kid, but at the same time he has this charm to him. You want to like Brian because in everything he does, he's earnest about it." The Breakfast Club adapted to the stage from John Hughes' screenplay by Alex Contreras and directed by Justin Levine runs at 7 p.m. on Oct. 3 to 5 in Arts 101.

The professor, while he's portrayed for the most part in 2D like the rest of the cast, does get a bit more depth to his character, and Kevin Sòrbo delivers the strongest performance in the movie. Perhaps the strongest moment in the movie comes at the climax. And while it's a much more subtle message, Josh's actions make a real impact on both his classmates and his professor, inspiring anyone who may feel as though they want to stand up for something important, yet feel alone. The message is subtle and clear: one person can make all the difference. So is God's Not Dead a worthwhile watch? If you're a Christian, it could be; I'm certain that any Christian will come away from watching this inspired. As for the non-believers, I believe that this movie's title is Truth: God's Not Dead. This movie, however, is another dull story.

Earlier this year, the publisher released a number of familiar titles such as SheHulk; X-Force and Amazing Spider-Man but with new twists and creative teams in the helm. In March, the Spirit of Vengeance returned to the shelves with a new vessel and a very sweet ride. Writer Felipe Smith teamed up with artist Tradd Moore and colorist Val Staples to create action-packed stories in All-New Ghost Rider. The first issue brings readers to East Los Angeles, home of 18-year-old Robbie Reyes. Reyes works at one of the local auto shops, making what he can to take care of himself and his wheelchair-bound brother, Gabe. After a street race goes wrong, he becomes the new Ghost Rider when his mysterious killers abandon his body. Now he roams the street with his 1969 black Dodge Charger as his choice of transportation. The combination of Moore and Staple's art with Smith's storytelling is perfect for the thrilling scenes in each issue. Tradd Moore has a lot of bold lines and motion in his illustrations, and Val Staples's coloring gives it the perfect touch of texturing. The duo is a pair of Marvel veterans having worked on previous publications in the company, but Felipe Smith, the newcomer, has a lot of experience under his belt. In 2005 and 2010 he released two manga series that he wrote and illustrated. In a 2013 interview with Marvel, com during New York Comic-Con , Smith mentioned that his main focus of this comic will be on the character-development of Robbie, and putting readers in "the passenger seat of Ghost Rider's roaring, flaming supercharged racer." Issue Seven will be out on Wednesday, Sept. 17, but new readers can catch up on thé story with the first collected volume available now. For more information, visit Marvel.com.

Lucas Dunn was a CSUSM student who tragically passed away on May 17, 2013, before he was going to leave to study abroad in Aix-enProvence, France in the fall. Dunn's life was cut short while he was rock-climbing; a rock went loose and hit him. Although he wore a helmet and harness, it ended O UR N EXT ISSUE May 7 , 2 0 1 4 Email us at* c susm.cougarchronicle@gmail.com his life. Dunn was one of Professor Anover's French students in her French 201 class in Fall 2011. "Lucas sat in the back of the class with a permanent smile on his face. The first time he spoke (in French!), I was surprised by his deep voice coming from a very young face. And his French was beautiful," Anover said. Professor Anover felt Dunn would be the perfect candidate to study abroad in France. "I always mention to my students the importance of studying abroad and how it is a life changing experience. I give my students full support and help them prepare their trip abroad along with my wonderful colleagues in Global Education," she said. Because Dunn was unable to make it to France, Anover. decided to create a memorial scholarship to help fund students to go to France and study abroad. With the permission of Lucas' parents, Kathy and A1 Dunn, Professor Anover was able to begin raising money for the memorial scholarship. To create an endowment with Cal State San Marcos, Anover and the French Club must raise $25,000. "An endowment is permanent. Cal State San Marcos will give a percentage of the funds ($25,000 is the minimum) for life. Lucas will be "immortalized" for life. A small consolation that will never replace Lucas, but such a big help for the students who need financial support to go abroad," she said. Currently, they have raised $10,000 and hope to reach their goal by 2015. They are currently organizing events for next year to help in their fundraising. In the Fall, the French Club will hold a "garage8 sale" on campus and in the Spring, Professor Anover hopes to have a 5K run/walk.

The USU has enjoyed tre- mendous success thus far with their grand opening events. These have included Commuter Appreciation Day, where students that drive to school were given food as they explored the new USU Commuter Lounge. Another was the Art fUSUion event, where a local artist led an art class which kicked off this new program on campus. There also was USU Unplugged, which will also become a series, where students played acoustic songs.

Photo by Anne Hall. Parking prices weigh on student body Students held responsible for parking structure expense B Y A NNE H ALL DESIGN EDITOR Students, faculty and staff alike are frustrated as parking prices continually add to the financial burden of attending CSUSM. Since the completion of the 487,000 square foot parking structure in July 2010, Parking and Commuters Services has been trying to make up for the $27 million expense of erecting the additional 1,605 parking spaces that were made available by the six floors of parking that exist on the north end of campus. Decisions to create the parking structure were finalized by the administration to accommodate the projected growth of student attendance since 2002. Parking fee plans held what was called a parking service open f orum to inform campus community of the population growth. Students had addressed their disapproval of the development plans, according to Alexander Hoang, former ASI President. The students' disapproval was measured against the issue of the progressive growth, with the vote to move forward with these plans siding with the university. These plans for projected fees resulted in a decision to establish parking fee increases as of January 2003, Fall 2006 and Fall 2009 for students and other permit holders for the sake of providing additional parking over time. Along with these plans came an expense projection to open a second parking structure between 2015 and 2016 to add an additional 1,200 parking spaces "without future drastic fee increases," according to the Parking Fee Plan (3 Tier), which can be found at www.csusm. edu/parking/parkingfeeplanthreetier.html.

With that being said, it's fitting that a college campus offer a business class that is focused on this market, and CSUSM is doing just that. Business professor, Dr. Vassilis Dalakas, teaches CSUSM's sports marketing class. Dr. Dalakas received his doctorate in marketing from the University of Oregon where he was involved with their Warsaw Sports Marketing Center. Between the many sports marketing studies he has conducted and his own personal passion for sports, Dr. Dalakas is more than qualified to lead GSUSM's efforts within this realm. "It's only a two unit class, we are hoping to turn it into a four unit class to do more, but the focal point is mostly Photo of the Dalakas family visiting the Sports Center Studio provided by marketing to the fan and the Dr. Vassilis Dalakas. basics of sponsorship and licensing," Dr. Dalakas said.

The comparison found that wearing the Oakland Raiders shirt in Chargers' territory drastically decreased the amount of assistance received. For the many students interested in pursuing a career in the sports industry, they need to keep in mind that it is extremely competitive. The positive thing is that numerous companies are heavily involved in this mar- ket in regards to advertising through sports. "A more creative way to get into those sport related careers would be to get jobs with regular companies that have a very strong sports presence. You could be doing sports marketing while working for Home Depot or American Express," Dr. Dalakas said. You have to be williiig to start at the bottom and work your way to the top. Dr. Dalakas likes to remind his students that the president of ESPN started in the mail room. i Ì ] •Hfl R ecap b enefits of super f oods Cowles Mountain for the lunar eclipse Nutrient-dense indicates the ratio of nutrients per calorie: vitamins, minerals, Super foods are dense in antioxidants and phytonutrinutrients that benefit health ents.

Clear days even gift views of Catalina, San Clemente and Baja, and they are the perfect reward to hikers who accept the challenge to reach the summit. The trail to the summit boasts nearly a 1,000 ft. elevation gain. However, the trail has plenty of rocks and several steep steps that demand a bit of caution. The hike is quite popular and can also be trekked at night. During the recent lunar eclipse, hikers' flashlights dotted the trail lighting up the mountain like stars in the sky. Many hikers converged on the summit to watch as the shadow grew across the moon and turned it from bright white to a glowing piiik. There is a parking lot and restrooms located at the trailhead but no facilities are on the summit. Four-legged friends are permitted to hike the trail and can be seen navigating the terrain like pros. The entire route from trailhead to summit and back is a three mile journey. With awesome views plus challenging terrain, this hike can be summed up as very gratifying. Earn your Master of Professional Accountancy.

It was Dr. Todd Astorino's influence that sparked Edmunds' accelerating interest in thé fitness and Kinesiology fields. In Astorino's KINES 326 Intro to Exercise Physiology course, Edmunds worked as a teaching assistant to instruct students with machines and as a research assistant for a study that is currently undergoing review. He ended up continuing as a research assistant for three years and became a teaching assistant for Dr. Sean Newcomer for two years. "Dr. A has pushed me to grow. He throws me outside my comfort zone and has kept pushing me to get more passionate about the program and everything we can do at CSUSM and with the body," Edmunds said. "Dr. Newcomer has influenced me to be in the best aerobic shape of my life. He has made it one of the highlights of my week to go out and run. Sean's enthusiasm and passion for learning has inspired Ross Edmund tandem skydiving, provided by himself. me. Edmunds has gone on to work on a project entitled Effects of Foam Rolling Versus Static Stretching on Recovery of Quadriceps and Ham- strings Force, which he has presented five times at various fairs and conventions.

Auditions are usually held once a semester, after the first show. Those who audition are put through a series of games. Downs explains that students aren't "judged on how funny they are, or even how good they are." They are looking for people who are able to "work well on stage or can work on a team and get along with other people ." President Ryan Downs explains that the club "holds shows where people on the team will get on stage and take suggestions from the audience and based on those suggestions we'll play games, we'll build scenes, characters and we'll just try and make the audience laugh."

The celebration features events, lectures, film showings and gatherings throughout the month, bringing together the school's LGBTQ community in unity with its allies on campus. This all, of course, leads up to the famed Pride Walk parade on May 1. Gaypril is split into four different weeks, with each week focusing on a different subculture in LGBTQ. With the first and second weeks focusing mainly on gay and lesbian subcultures (respectively), the upcoming weeks in the month will focus on some of the more marginalized and less culturally prevalent LGBTQ groups. This includes third week events concerning Bisexual and Queer issues and a fourth week dedicated to transgender issues. During the third week, the center plans on hosting events to raise awareness of problems faced by those in the bisexual community; including marginalization by both straight and gay cultures that do not understand them, the problems associated with actively avoiding a label to one's lifestyle and the increasing stigma of HIV. The fourth week, which focuses on transgender issues, includes the screening of Trans visible, a documentary about famed transgender activist Bamby Salcedo, who, along with director Dante Many businesses, state and government agencies, as well as nonprofit organizations attended the April Job Fair.

Ride Along with University Police Department proves to be exciting experience for aspiring student B Y N ADA SEWIDAN SENIOR STAFF WRITER After accompanying Police Officer David Angulo on a three hour policeride-alongI learned why CSUSM is recognized as one of the safest campuses in'the state of California. . It was 8 p.m. on a Friday night. I was eager and wideeyed listening intently to the officer as he gave me a tour of the facility. He led me through narrow hallways, scanning his badge to gain access to locked doors . "The campus police office is equivalent to a full blown police department," Officer Angulo said. The CSUSM campus police facility is equipped with two holding cells and one padded cell. There's also the evidence locker where officers are trained on how to book weapons, drugs and other illegal items in possession. Hie officer then led me inside an interrogation room with a two-way mirror. There were also cubicles, conference rooms, lockers and even a little gym in the back of the facility. Officers on patrol work 12 hour shifts and rotate from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. while graveyard officers^ patrol from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m! During my ride-along, I accompanied Officer Angulo on his graveyard shift. I rode shotgun, next to a literal shotgun, which he immediately showed me how to unlock. I needed to know how to unlock it in case anything happens he said to me. The officer's job is to patrol on campus and outside of campus explained Angu- deter people from reaching campus and thus preventing any incidents on campus.

Sometimes it is better to hit the students with what Officer Angulo calls the spirit of the law rather than the letter of the law. "I understand they are college students and are young, and sometimes they make mistakes and that's why we have to tailor to people differently here than other places," Angulo said.

"Only men can be sexist." Have you heard either of these statements before and not used ironically? I certainly have not, until I attended a lecture at our campus Gender Equity Center earlier this semester. Before the lecture I thought that racism and sexism were simply defined as the discriminations based on race and sex respectively. The GEC kindly explained Blog posted on September 2013 about the show, Dads, portraying ultimate that their definitions of the discriminatory offenses at http://www.kissmywonderwoman.com/2013/09/ pilot-season-dads-racism-sexism-ageism.html. words, which I understand is also taught in some Women's just a way for people to ra- tragedies, but some people Studies courses, also include tionalize racism and sexism do not see it that way.

However, many people do not understand the severe side effects associated to whitening treatments. In 2009, the Journal of Dentistry published a study stating the harmful effects of tooth whitening. Over the counter treatments often have painful effects on the gums. Over whitening can cause the gum line to recede, bleed and become inflamed. Excessive whitening can also lead to sensitive teeth and enamel depletion. Enamel depletion is the most harmful side effect, as it may lead to severe internal tooth decay. There are several holistic remedies for tooth whitening. The benefits from using natural products are that they are more affordable and have little to no side effects. Coconut oil pulling is one of the most effective natural remedies for whitening teeth. When using this remedy, take a tablespoon of coconut oil and swish in your mouth for 10 to 15 minutes. Push the oil through the teeth when swishing. Brushing with baking soda has an amazing whitening effect, but when brushing with it be sure to only use this solution once a week. Baking soda can cause minor irritation to the gums if used excessively. Swishing daily with food grade hydrogen peroxide is another affordable and effective remedy. Ultimately, when it comes to tooth care it is best to use remedies that are naturopathic and that will not cause one's oral health to be compromised. The holistic remedies as mentioned above are especially convenient for college students who are looking to save money any way they can. Instead of spending your money on teeth whitening items that can cause harm to teeth, I advise to spend a lot less on a more effective, safer and simpler natural product.

Science fiction imagines our future world. It imagines a future where humanity seeks life in the stars, fascinated by and celebrating our differences rather than shunning them. This genre calls up a sense of wonder for technology and exploration that we might not revel in today but could well tomorrow. Science fiction is the human testament to our ability to hope. But there is a darker side to this genre. As desirable as it is to envision a shining future, science fiction easily provides accurate social commentary on the nature of man. At times we must b e forced to confront the fact that the more things change, the more things stay the same. Orson Scott Card creates an air of shivering realism in his novels. The most famous of w hich,inder's Game, has long been considered one of the most renowned works of science fiction for the past 30 years. However, it is the sequel to this novel that deserves the brunt of the accolades. Speaker for the Dead takes place 3000 years after Ender's Game, and the titular character, Ender Wiggin, seeks redemption for the genocide he committed during the war. Space travel has allowed Ender to freeze his body in stasis, letting Ender search the universe. His journey leads him to a Portuguese colony on the planet Lusitania, where new alien life has been discovered. Pig-like in appearance yet communicative, there may be hope for humanity to redeem itself with this new alien race. But fear of the unknown and the colony's firm hold on Catholic ideals threaten to damage their relationship. Ender must intervene before humankind makes the same mistake, destroying Lusitania in the process. Speaker for the Dead is a gorgeous novel. It addresses issues that humans face today while teaching tolerance and accepting the different. There is no science fiction novel more worth the read and I highly recommend it to all. This novel has won two prestigious science fiction awards, the Nebula Award and the Hugo award, since its publication.

Some critics such as Entertainment Weekly's Jessica Shaw stated "Hemlock Grove takes its time with story lines, ensuring that each one has plenty of room to ripen.

I have to unfortunately agree with the latter; I found Henilock Grove to be unbelievably frustrating and confusing with its multiple plots and storyline twists. Frankly they just tried to put too much into one show. There were werewolves (who were more like shape shifters to me), demons and other fantastical creatures that tied in both as mystical beings as well as with their own sub-plots that include love triangles, family drama and a of hiding the truth. I talked to multiple people about the show and those that have read McGreevy's book seemed to have a lot better things to say about it than those that had not. Maybe that's the part that I 'm missing, but it felt like a low budget horror flick with a cast they just threw together to see how their mess of a story line would work. Though, I will commend the visual effects artists on is the transformation scene when Peter shifts into a wolf, which was sick . support, that is my vision. I do however encourage other students to get involved in this movement in order to push forward a culturally intelligent and equitable campus inclusive of all." Returning Golden Boy - Captain America 2 B Y L EXY PEREZ STAFF WRITER Every year, we find ourselves listening to Tony Stark's witty comments as he puts on that iron suit, admire Thor's ability to be a masculine "Goldie Locks," root for Peter Parker as he is trapped in a "web" and watch the Hulk turn into a big, green guy, who clearly needs some anger management classes. Out of all the superheroes, Captain America is the only one that seems to be the epitome of what we aspire to be and hold principles that we should abide by: to be true to who you are and stand for what , you believe in. In this year's first superhero return to the big screen, "Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier" delivers everything that every Marvel Fan would hope: Visual effects, gut-wrenching action sequences and familiar faces such as the characters Black Widow and Nick Fury. The film, reintroduced Steven Rogers (Chris Evans) as the once scraggy soldier who transformed into a "macho man" with super strength, speed, abs of steel and, not to mention, glowing skin and pearly white teeth that makes-you wonder whether he is a long lost relative of Edward Cullen, Mr. Clean and Barbie Ken. Dedicated to stopping Hydra's evil plan to control humanity, with assistance from Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and his new friend Falcon (Anthony Mackie), Rogers is forced to battle the bad guys, while questioning the loyalty of the U.S. government and his S . HI .E .L .D. headquarters. Adding more drama, Captain America is acquainted with Keanu Reeve's lookalike, the Winter Soldier, a mysterious assassin questioned to be a familiar face from his past. Sometimes it gets old to watch the typical battle between the good and bad guys. Call me old-fashioned, caregiver/ Child Care Worker: WÊÊÊÊÊcare, supervision, training to & criminal background check, C A '- Driver's License & but I can't help but prefer a film with a genuine story rather than one that focuses purely on Hollywood glitz and glam and who can throw a punch better. Although the film is nothing short of being an enjoyable, edge of your seat "Superhero" tale, it is the hidden vulnerability of the story that makes it all that much better. As Captain America battles new enemies, he consistently expresses his loyalty to only doing what he thinks is right for himself and society, refusing to let anyone convince him otherwise. Being that Marvel already confirmed future installments, it is pointless to add dramatics over whether Rogers will survive at the end of the film. At times it can almost seem as if the film is a documentary on Rogers' new transformation to being the American Yoda (Becoming Society's guidance and Patriotic "force"). "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," is proof that a sequel can outdo the original. The Avenger becomes an admirable and likeable hero, proving to be more than just a handsome man that can throw a shield. �A & E Editor: Faith Orel no cougarchron.arts@gmail.com Life of a Nursing Student &Z: Nursing S t u d e n t 29/7 By Kate Chiilan One night, I woke up t o a sudden sharp pain in my b ock. pain is «xpsrienocd wh«n tapping on the area of the back that lies aver the kidneys.

Along with revealing a number of returning veteran fighters, Sakurai also unveiled a few new characters joining the fray for the first time: Villager from Animal Crossing, the Wii Fit Trainer and, perhaps the most exciting of all, Capcom's superstar cyber hero, Mega Man. Since then, Sakurai has slowly but surely showed little details about the game as development went on, primarily through the pictures he posts on Miiverse. Over the course of these past 10 months since Smash Bros. 4 was unveiled for the first time, they announced several returning characters including Olimar of the Pikmin series, Lucario from Pokemon and, much to Smash Bros. Brawl fans' delight, Sega's blue blur, Sonic the Hedgehog. In addition, Sakurai also revealed two new characters: Rosalina and Luma of Super Mario Galaxy and Little Mac from Punch Out, who was an Assist Trophy character in the previous installment of the franchise. On April 8, Sakurai devoted a full, 40-minute-long Nintendo Direct to release even more information about the highly anticipated Smash Bros. 4. Here he presented several new aspects of the game, including the differences between the 3DS and Wii U versions. The most recognizable of these are: stages and game modes. When Sakurai said that the two versions would have different stages, he wasn't kidding. As far as anyone can tell right now, the only two stages the two games have in common are the franchise's signature stages: Battlefield and Final Destination. tMk * WdáÁ SMASH BR/ÉÇ' NINTENDO 3 DS X Sakurai also showed a game mode exclusive to the 3DS port: Smash Run, where four players compete in a unique competition involving a race for power buffs that will be used in a match following said race. Other than that, Sakurai also talked about new and returning Assist Trophy characters from Brawl, including Andross (Star Fox), Knuckle Joe (Kirby), Nintendog, Skull Kid and Midna (Legend of Zelda), Dark Samus (Metroid), Chain Chomp (Super Mario), Elec Man (Mega Man), and a rather hilarious trophy called "Color TV-Game 15" that, as far as Sakurai shows, is a large game of Pong taking place on the stage, knocking the players around. Although it's on the same plane as every other franchise represented, Pokemon has a special place in Smash Bros in terms of items. Whether a new fan .or old, every player knows the value of a PokeBall. If one drops onto the stage, the reaction of everyone is the same: get it before the others! This time around, however, those red and white balls aren't the only thing players will want to get their Jhands on. THIS time, Sakurai has included a new kind of PokeBall that is easily more valuable: the Master Ball, which will only contain rare or legendary Pokemon, where a regular PokeBall will contain common Pokemon. New Pokemon include Arceus (4th generation), Eevee (1st generation), Fennekin (6th and newest generation), Meloetta (5th), Gogoat (??), for Wii Palkia (4th), Kyurem (5th), Victim (5th), Keldeo (??), and the well-known mascot Xerneas. Also, players who had a problem with characters with multiple forms will no longer have that problem. ,In previous games Brawl and Melee, Two returning characters had alternate forms that they could switch to in the middle of a battle: Zelda (Zelda) could transform into Sheik, while Samus (Metroid), by using her Final Smash, could shed her armor and become Zero Suit Samus, while performing another Final Smash would restore her armor.. In Smash Bros. 4, these characters have all been split into their own, solo forms, with Zelda and Sheik getting new attacks to replace the one they would use to transform. In addition, Sakurai also made the anticipated confirmation of a returning fighter who hasn't missed a game yet: Yoshi (Mario), whose revelation was delayed because the developers were working on remodeling him and didn't want to upset fans. After Sakurai bade his fans farewell, he dropped one more trailer for us, dropping two more exciting pieces of information: the return of the massively popular Pokemon Charizard, now as a solo fighter, and the introduction of a new Pokemon fighter: Greninja, the fully evolved form of the 6th generation starter Pokemon Froakie. Super. Smash Bros, for Nintendo 3DS is set to be released in Summer 2014, while Super Smash Bros, for Wii U is set to be released the following Winter. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

J L The Associated Students of CSUSM have grown tired of this adage.They want to start winning. And with the new aces they have up their sleeve this semester, that just may happen. For the first time since they came into existence, a budget has been approved for their use. That means each student pays an extra $20 in fees when paying for tuition. Many students wonder where that money goes and if they are simply throwing away twenty bucks. But the Associated Students have not been idle with it. Theirfirstmajor project has been to tackle the problem of pay-per-print. According to David Alimi, vice president offinance,A.S. feels this policy is unfair and inconvenient. However, they realized quickly that they had no power to change the policy itself at this time because of a separate contract between the school and IKON. As an alternative, they are working on instituting a "computer work station program." Through this program, GSUSM would become a vendor of reasonably priced computers. Two systems would be offered, one for less than $900, to interested students. Even the less expensive system would have all the components needed for students to complete assignments. They come with a four-year warranty. Just about the length of a student's career. Alimi and the rest of A.S. hope this can be an alternative to constantly being at the mercy of the school's computer rules and costs. It would also be an excellent investment, he said. Not only does A.S. have a budget now, but they have someone to help them make Parking problems persist at Cal. State San Marcos by Helen Dahlstrom r | l o say the campus paiking situation I is more challenging than ever this J L fall is somewhat of an understatement. With enrollment up by 400 this fall and no additional spaces to be had, it has become downright frustrating to most students. According to the Office of Enrollment Services, CSUSM enrollment this semester is 4,647, up from 4,233 last fall. There also are 700 faculty and staff members. Paiking is limited to 1,399 spaces in student lots, 350 in faculty and staff lots, and 64 spaces for the disabled... a total of 1,813 spots. But more than 3,000 parking permits have been issued this semester. Some students have managed to develop new coping strategies. One is to arrive earlier. Angie Boswell, senior majoring in social science, says she "deliberately takes a 7:30 a.m. class in order to avoid the parking problem on campus." Other students have been forced to prowl the lanes in the parking lot, waiting to catch someone leaving. But it's not just students who are frustrated. Spanish professor Miguel Zapata complains that the overflow from the student lots is now impacting the faculty lot. "I ask my students if anyone is parked in the staff lot, and I know some that have already been ticketed," he adds. Some students blame university officials. Aldene Yeo, a junior majoring in liberal studies, says, "They need to reassess their current parking lots versus their enrollment." Dr. Alexander Gonzalez, interim CSUSM president, acknowledges that parking is; a critical issue. At a Sept. 18 forum, he noted that the university is "looking into alternatives, such as using the Palomar Pomerado Health Services (PPHS) parking lot for overflow, until funding can be made available for new lot construction." There are "glimmers of hope," however, the most of it. Darlene Willis has been added as the executive director of the A.S. Willis comesfromCal State Hayward and is hailed as a powerful asset by all in the A.S. H erjob is to act as middleperson between the A.S. and the administration. When problems arise, Wilis will be there to help A.S. (and as a result, all CSUSM students) get their voice heard and be taken seriously. Wilis is concentrating right now on getting the accounting fee lowered for A.S. If this happens, they will have more of the money we pay them to work with. That means more events on campus, more speakers, and more funds for important projects like child care and sports. The A.S. looks like it's beginning to win already. And that means, ultimately, results for all CSUSM students. according to Dora Knoblock, assistant to the director of Public Safety Services. Plans for the spring semester include using the PPHS lot for overflow, with shuttle service to the main campus. Shuttles also are planned from student lots 106 and 10. An incentive car-pool program will be introduced next semester. Long-term solutions include the construction of two new parking lots with a total of 600 additional spaces. Construction is scheduled to begin in the summer of 1998, with completion scheduled for the following fall. In the meantime, Parking Services is keeping enforcement to a minimum, even including abstaining from ticketing red zones on some peak days. Knoblock said thefirstfour weeks of each semester normally is the worst time for parking overflow. But this year, she added that peak period could be extended since both the number of visitors and concurrent Palomar students have increased. "With the younger student population, we are seeing more parents visiting the campus for the first time, and many students at Palomar are unaware that the North County Transit District now has bus service to CSUSM," she added.

'The events scheduled for each day are much more involved than educating students on how tofindjobs in their field of interest" On Oct. 7th, Business and Finance Day, she added, "There will be opportunities to network with professionals in a variety of fields through 'Making Connections' night, where students can have employers and professionals critique their resumes, and learn what they specifically look for in an employee" The four industries represented during Career Week will offer workshops on how applicants can market themselves on paper. Speakers, including CSUSM alumni, will offer advice and hints. For students interested in further study programs, there is a workshop Oct. 9th on graduate and professional schools. More than 51 such institutions including some from out of state and even out of country will be represented. The fields these programs will cover include chiropractic medicine, social work, dental, psychology, and law. The Career Center also offers a mock test to help prepare those students interested in post-graduate study. Oct 6 is Health and Human Services Day, including a workshop on "Careers in the Gerontologyfield."A panel of professionals will be on hand from noon to 1 p.m. to answer specific questions. Oct. 8 is Science and Technology Day, including a workshop on how to search for a job via the Internet. The CSUSM Career center is making every effort to get the word out about Career Week. A counselorfromthe center will be available at a table in the Dome each school day until Oct 6 to answer questions about the week. A full calendar of events can be picked up either at the center or at the Dome table. "Please come by and ask us questions," urged Punch. "We are here for you." "This is a fantastic opportunity for students." Efficiency is key to library's success by Debbie holderby "TT ooks can be deceiving. Take the camI pus library, for example, which on K Jibe surface appears small, but operates with peak efficiency. Walking into it for thefirsttime, you may be surprised at the lack of space. Indeed, its staff members say they often get phone calls from putside researchers, asking for material. The callers, they add, are usually surprised tofindthat CSUSM's library is so small. "Aren't you a university?" they ask, expecting a far bigger facility. When the campus first opened, the library's location was to be temporary. But, as time passed and plans for a new facility were put on hold, it became semi-perm anent and its space needs began to outgrow its physical limitations. Originally, the library was intended to be totally electronic, with no books, periodicals, or paper. But, when studies indicated the goal of no hard copy was impractical, it was back to the drawing board. Plans for construction of a new home for the library are currently being reviewed. But things are not always what they seem, and the library is no exception. While it lacks physical space, the need for services has created innovative ways of getting the job done. According to staff member Judith Downie, the library operates "lean, but not mean." Because of the lack of space, what's available must be utilized as efficiently as possible. The staff puts a high priority on service to faculty and students and, thanks to such high tech tools as Lexis/Nexis and the electronic catalog system, manages tofindwhat most patrons need. "There is no such thing as a stupid question,"Downie says, "So ask!" Those unsure of how to use the library system are invited to make appointments with its staff members, who can provide half-hour, personalized instruction on how to use its resources. Students are encouraged to do so. There also is a suggestion box, located at the front desk, and all comments are periodically evaluated. Results of such reviews are posted on the bulletin board near the exit. Hung jury on The Dome cafeteria by Kristina Seth f I the thumbs have spoken! The verdict: I up for the variety of new pizza of fered in the Dome cafeteria, but down for its higher prices and mixed on its taste. The new Delia Suprema Pizza from Aztec Shops has replaced thatfromPizza Hut, a campus staple in the past. Why the switch to apparently more costly fare? Cafeteria officials refused a request for an interview by The Pride, but Laura Gropen, marketing director for Aztec Shops, provided a few suggestions. Gropen also contended that the new pizza is actually a bargain. Aztec Shops pizza costs $1.79 for an 8-ounce vegetarian pizza (without cheese), $1.89 f or one with cheese, $2.19 for one with pepperonbi and $2.29 for a Hawaiian. That compares favorably with last year's Pizza Hut price of $2.39 for a 9-inch slice, Gropen said, adding that Pizza Hut planned to raise its price to "well over $3." "Our goal is to offer students the highest quality product at the lowest price," she said. ' The perception that the price of the ne w Bella Suprema Pizza is higher than the Pizza H ut's is a misperception. Our gourmet pizza is made with three high quality California brand -nirfn nmijjctftror«jfjtugj».jilujgjfrii cheeses: realskin mozzarella, jack and Cheddar. The ham and pepperoni is fresh Hormel meat. The tomatoes arefreshcut daily, and the dough is preparedfresh.The sauce is Heinz pizza sauce." Unfortunately, the jury is still out on" Gropen's contention. Most students interviewed rated taste more consequential than nutrition. Of 25 interviewed, only six liked the new pizza's taste. "Yuck!" was a common comment. "It was cold and it doesn't taste near as good as Pizza Hut's," said one student A Ramonafreshmanagreed: "The cheese had a weirdflavor,"he said. "It tasted like EMAIL: pridc@maiIhostl.csusm.cdu the inside of a freezer." A minority of those interviewed disagreed. "I love it!" said one. "I was going through pizza withdrawal over the summer." More students were excited about the new House of Tsang assorted rice bowls, which range in price from 99 cents for steamed rice to $3.59 for steak and chicken bowls. Vegetable bowls as well as fried rice with no meat cost $2.49. By contrast, the Dome's own steamed white rice costs 79 cents. "Students were upset when we ran out of the rice b owls," said one Dome employee. "They are very popular. We had no mswro* P oo b Kiiiitina Seth idea they would ht* y be in so much demand." Some 20 of the 25 students interviewed liked the chicken and steak bowls. The steamedricedrew some criticism for being too sticky. "We're talking so sticky you couldn't even see the individual pieces of rice," complained one. "It was just an undefined mass of white stuff." But, countered another, "Sticky rice is only bad if you don't like it that way. In some cultures the stickier the rice, the better. In China, for example, they like sticky rice." The price of the rice bowls was a different matter. "What are we paying so much for?" asked one student. "Rice is one of the least expensive foods you can buy!" In addition, new foods in the Dome include nachos for $1.99 and a pasta plate for $2.49, available at the grill for order behind the sandwich bar.

PHONE: 750-4998 FA:75CM030 �Evening students left out by Sharon Hambly • e vening students are required to pay | H $20 in student health fees for benJ — / e f i t s that are difficult if not impossible to obtain. And while the class booklet states that the health services are available to all CSUSM students, the health center's days and hours are Monday through Friday, closing at 5 p.m. No evening hours or weekend services are offered. The center is not located on the campus but at the Palomar Pomerado building across the street in Suite 100. Executive Order 637 requires that the university system provide health services and also determines what constitutes health services. Executive Order 661 gives the Board of Trustees the authority to govern the fees. The campus president implements how these fees can be changed. The general funding is then based on the student population. Currently, CSUSM has the lowest fee in the state university system. Other universities are charging $70 a semester. Dr. Nicholson, director of health services since June 1996, said he does not have the staff for extended hours. One medical doctor, two part-time nurse practitioners and two psychiatrists work at the center* Evening students have complained about lack of evening services. The health center then attempted to extend their hours, but because of lack of use the extra hours were discontinued. Many students are mandated to pay the health fee even though they have their own health insurance. Here is a review of the health services: -all services are confidential -urgent care offered during regular hours -general medical care by physician or nurse practitioner -pharmacy service-prescriptions filled at very low cost -routine immunizations -TB testing -allergy injections -radiology services -anonymous HIV testing with pre- and post-test counseling -individual counseling for nutrition, cholesterol reduction, smoking cessation, family planning. The above-mentioned services are needed by many of our students, many of which attend school at night and are thus unable to recieve those services. Many believe that these services should be available to all students. This would mean that the hours would have to be more flexible. And for those students who have their own health plans, there should be an exemption, some students argue. Death of LSU student raises questions an active member of the fraternity. Leonard said when he initially heard of the death he was skeptical that the fraternity was to blame. The drinking allegedly was part of the acceptance process, he added. Leonard said he believes it was pait of a bid celebration and the "allegation of forced drinking [was] untrue." He added that manyfraternitymembers are big drinkers before they join. Kevin Owens, president of SAE at CSUSM, maintains the fraternity already takes matters of safety seriously. Owens pointed out that during parties the fraternity has designated drivers, wristbands to indicate partygoers of legal drinking age, and security to "control the scene." Owens added SAE annually elects a risk management officer, currently held by Winnjay Delacruz. Among other things, it is the responsibility of theriskmanagement officer to remain sober and ensure that partygoers do not go overboard when drinking, Owens stated. Owens and Delacruz both stated their by Jenifer Jaffe A 20-year-old student died last / \ month following a drinking binge JLJL during pledge week at Louisiana State University. Benjamin Wynne was hospitalized with a blood alcohol-level of .588 after campus police discovered him at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house, according to the San Diego Union Tribune. The fraternity's national office later suspended the LSU chapter pending IUI investigation. Though SAE at CSUSM has not felt any major repercussions from the death, national did warn them to "tighten up on risk management/' according to James Leonard, Students can trip out on language "W" T a v e you neglected your foreign lanI I guage graduation requirements for J L JLthis long? CSUSM and Palomar College offer many types of programs for CSU students to study abroad. The programs rangefromtwo shoit weeks to a full academic year and most require at least a 2.5 GPA. 'The respect I gained for Italy combined with the educational experience of Europe as well as gaining a deeper respect for my own country was intriguing and forever memorable," said one student. The CSU system-wide programs are affiliated with more than 70 institutions in 17 countries. Whether your desire is to fulfill your foreign studies or pursue another field of study, both colleges have specialized programs to accommodate your needs. Whether you wish to learn French in Canada or France, Spanish In Mexico, Costa Rica, Chile, or Spain, develop your artistic abilities at the Florence Academy of Arts, or pursue a broader education in agriculture or nutrition in New Zealand or Australia, your options are wide open. The length of study depends on your schedule, what you want to learn and accomplish and your desire to have a lifechanging experience. belief that the bartender who served Wynne was responsible for the death. Delacruz mentioned he worked as a bartender at one time, adding that when you knew someone had too much to drink, "you would cut them off." Owens said it is illegal to drink during rush, and as far as the role of alcohol in theirfraternity,it is "part of celebration, not a major part." Though all might classify the death of the student a tragedy, students at CSUSM disagree on where the ultimate responsibility lies. "Obviously in a situation like that peer pressure plays a major role; however, you and you alone are responsible for your own decisions and actions," said Rebecca Brown, a student of the credential program at CSUSM. Michelle Stuki, a senior at CSUSM, said, "Some of the responsibility has to lie on the bar for serving someone underage." One student said, "Some real attention should be paid in this case and some serious questions should be asked. Number one, does the fraternity condone the consumption of alcohol by its underage members? And if so, what steps are taken to ensure the safety of the individuals who do so?" While some programs are geared toward learning a language, most allow students to pursue their majors because students are integrated into the life of another culture. You do not need to know a foreign language to study in a non-English speaking country. One student who experienced an academic year in France said," After living in France for afewmonths, I felt comfortable and the first place I traveled to beyond France was Germany." She continued to explain how she felt a little estranged or awkward not knowing German. While riding the train back to France, "I realized I could understand what people were saying again and that, alone, made me feel at home." Whereas this CSUSM student studied abroad for an academic year, other programs consist of two weeks or a month. Another fellow student went to Mexico this summer and she felt that she "learned more being immersed in the culture and living with a Spanish-speaking family versus strictly classroom courses taught by teachers who spoke her native language." "CSU students are especially fortunate because they have a wide range of system^ wide study abroad programs available to them at extremely low costs," said Pam Bell, the CSU IP coordinator. Financial aid is available to students who qualify and the costs vary depending upon the country and type of program selected. If you still find yourself asking why, where, or how long you should go, attend a study abroad meeting listed below and ask questions. Students and faculty who studied in different countries will be delighted to answer and advise you according to your specific desires and needs. The meetings will be held in COMMONS 206 on Thurs., Oct 2 from 3:30-4:30 p.m.; Wed., Oct. 15 from 3:30-4:30 p.m.; Mon., Nov. 3 from noon-1 p.m.; and Tues., Nov. 11from2-3 p.m. Check it out, broaden your life by experiencing another country and culture.

Unlike other things we buy, our education is full of mystery and surprises, many of which may not emerge for years. Unlike the plumber and the cable guy, our educators might know "what we need' much, much better than we do, which calls for considerable faith on our parts. Which is to say that if you really want to get the most out of your time with us, we strongly recommend that you cultivate a deliberate openness of heart and mind Nowhere is this more true than in your relationships with your faculty (even your GE faculty). The relationship that might develop between a professor and a student is the secret treasure of the University experience. It is unpredictable. You don't know where or when it will happen, or what it's CSUSM welcomes Dr. Gonzalez... the new kid in school exact nature will be. We have often heard, over the years, the story of a student who chose a whole new major and career because some professor, in an elective course, simply blew the student's mind and gave the student the sense that s/he was remarkable. More alumni than you can imagine are where they are because they discovered this particular treasure. We would venture to say that potentially, such unexpected treasures are here for each of you, waiting for you to discover them. We wonder what would happen if each of you completely believed that this was true: completely believed, as you drove to campus every day, or picked out your classes each semester, that there was certainty going to be at least one professor that was going to be the one for you, the one whose mind you'd feel you just had to get to know as completely as possible and who'd be interested in cultivating yours in return. What kind of attitude about the University would come from belief like that? CAPS offers a quiet, confidential space for students to talk about any concerns or interests, personal or academic, at no charge for CSUSM students. We also like to help students cultivate good attitudes about themselves and their education! We are located in 5310 Craven Hall.

The university is the people in it. The students here have afreshnessand vitality in them that is unusual to me." Likewise, Gonzalez is impressed with the faculty's talents and would like to develop opportunities for those talents to fully mature. So, what is a university president is responsible for? He's our Leader: the university 's operations andfiscalmanager who is also responsible for the university's growth and conduct. He is both a philosophical and academic leader who provides direction and help to faculty, students, staff and community to fulfill their potential while at this institution. Pretty impressive stuff! However, he isn't stuffy. He eats in the Dome when he D <>n't be shy. Go over to him, introduce yourself and ask him if he minds if you sit down. He wants to talk with students, andremember,he is vepr approachable and easy to talk to. Moreover, he's new on campus and eating alone is a drag. How will you know him, you ask. He has a presence about him. You'll just know he's not a returning student (Hp: He's the one in the dry-cleaned shirt and wears a suit.) He's not particularly tall, but very solid and wears glasses. But therealgiveaway is his gray mustache, which stands out from his dark hair. You really can't miss him!

All in all, he is a very accessible man, enthusiastic and eager to talk about anything connected to "ave you ever wanted to meet the obscure people behind the im pressive" titles? The president or CEO of afrequentlyvisited ^organization? For most of us, we wouldn't dream of interrupting their busy schedules; besides, what would we say to them? What are we supposed to say to them? "Hello, there, and just what do you do here?" I recently met with CSUSM's new interim president, Dr. Alexander Gonzalez, and wondered what topics I should ask him about. Myfirstfear was that I wouldn't be able to understand his "academese," regardless of the topic. You know, the institutional language found in academic and medical journals: "Better evaluation of responses to treatment modalities depends on the standardization of an index allowing accurate descriptions of learning disorder behaviors" (Style, Fifth Edition, p. 4). Say what? If Dr. Gonzalez talked like that, I was in big trouble. I'm happy to report that Gonzalez speaks in plain and simple language, just like you and me. And when I asked the question, "Just what do you do here?" without hesitation he said, "To quote Harry S. Truman, 'The buck stops here.'" There you have it in a nutshell. In many ways, Gonzalez faced the same questions and fears that anyone would experience at the onset of a new semester or new job. The question, "Will I fit in and be accepted by the others?" is a realityforall of us, including college presidents. He wondered if he would be accepted by the faculty and staff as well as by students and the community. By the end of his first official day, Gonzalez was impressed not only with the faculty, to him, you might start with W E L C ^ T O CSUSM?00'1 Hi ^ * ** ^ �SEP. 3C-0CT 14,1997 THE PRIDE PAGE 5 p Communication Department hires new director by Frances Bernal dents to come to this major for the wrong reasons, who are not going to woik, and not going to do their best.

Binge drinking down in America: Except among college students by College Press Service WASHINGTON—Heavy drinking is down in America, except for one notable place: college campuses. That's according to a report from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, which calls birige drinking "a widespread problem" on college campuses despite a decline in alcohol use among the general population. In 1994,40 percent of college students reported binge drinking at least once within the previous two weeks of being surveyed, according to the triennial report. The NIAAA defines "binge drinking" as consuming five or more drinks at one sitting. Gender seems to play a significant role in terms of binge drinking, with 52 percent of college men reporting such drinking as compared to 31 percent of women. Across the board, nearly 70 percent of college students said they drank alcohol at least once a month and about 4 percent said they drank daily, the study found. The report calls thefindingsfor college students "quite high" in light of a decline in drinking among high school seniors. The authors suggest that college students, who report drinking less in high school than non-college-bound seniors, may be "catching up" and possibly surpassing their peers not in college. The NIAAA, which has compiled previous studies on alcohol consumption, blames campuses for promoting a "culture of drinking" and praises alternatives such as alcohol-free parties. Among the general population, alcohol use hit a 30 year low in 1993, after peaking during the 1980s. Increased health concerns, less tolerant attitudes toward drinking, and stricter laws against drinking and driving are possible reasons for the change, the NIAAA said. More information on the NIAAA's "Ninth Special Report to the U.S. Congress on Alcohol and Health" is available at the agency's website: www.niaaa.nih.gov �On Campus Native-American Pow Wow at CSUSM Craven Road from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Oct. 4 and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Oct 5.

Governor expected to approve a bill to cut student fees T f Governor Pete Wilson approves a bill passed by the State Legislature, J LCSU students can expect afivepercent reduction in fees beginning in the fall of 1998. The reduction, whichWilson reportedly supports, would trim CSU fees to $1,504 a year from the current $1,584. Community college fees such as those at Palomar and Mira Costa would also drop from $l3"to $12. The cuts would apply only to state residents. Under the bill, introduced by Assemblyman Denise Moreno Ducheny, D-San Diego, the state would reimburse schools for the reduced fees. Thus, while students pay less, their colleges would not lose money. CSU spokesman Ken Swisher said the bill includes $19.4 million to refund to the universities that reduse their fees. �Entertainment A RTS & LECTURE PRINCIPLES SOUN D RE M E N T NVESTING SERIES OVER ONE MILLION OF THE BEST MINDS IN AMERICA HAVE ALREADY CHOSEN THE BEST RETIREMENT SYSTEM.

This booklet was a condemnation of homosexuality. It described in detail what the bible says about being homosexual and the punishments that should be inflicted. It tries to condemn homosexuality by quoting the words of God. Of course this works only if you have not taken the literature class, The Bible as Literature, where one would learn that the bible was written by men who believed they were writing God's words. Whilst I might be grateful for your concern for my immortal soul, I have to point out that if you are going to target someone to see things your way, you have to learn the correct symbols. The symbol on my car does not identify me as gay, although if I was I would not try to change it just to please you. No, my symbol declarestiiatI am a member of Alcoholics Anonymous. Try and correctly identify your targets otherwise you could have some very irate gay people wrongly accused of being alcoholic and that just won't do! 1 k-/ w V/ w A M VV w To my fellow students, On Hiesday, September 23td, I left a red 3 W disk in the computer lab, room 202.

The participants learned how to teach entrepreneurs and how to develop the real skills for managing effectively. They visited with COBAfaculty where they will learned about unique, hands-on, educational programs and reviewed computer technology applications at CSUSM. The participants arefromthe Morozov Project and their visit here was coordinated through the Foundation for Enterprise Development of La Jolla. The goal of the three-year-old initiative is to train a critical mass of entrepreneurs and business leaders in Russia who will promote democratic change by creating jobs and business in a free market. A network of 35 Business Training Centers (BTCs) has been established in various Russian regions. The group visiting CSUSM consists of 30 trainers from these BTCs. They will use the information gained during the visit to teach clients at their respective BTCs when they go back to Russia. The Morozov Project is a Russian national project, actively supported by the US Agency for International Development, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and a group of researchers and specialists from the West. This particular program is part of the Academy of Management and the Market of the Morozov Project. The Foundation for Enterprise Development provides practical information and assistance to help companies implement equity-based compensation and strategies for involving employees in improving business operations. First Thedinga scholarships awarded tofive freshmen The first five Ella J. Thedinga scholarships were awarded to five recipients recently. • The scholarships are the result of an endowment given to the university last year by Thedinga, a retired educator. The five recipients are all incoming freshmen from local schools, and each received $2,000. Recipients are Catalina Angelesfrom Oceanside High School, Ryan DravesfromRancho Buena Vista High School, Rebekah Jones from Fallbrook High School, Amanda Kruso from Ramona High School and Jarrette Torcedo from Carlsbad High School. When the endowment is fully funded, the expected number of scholarships per year is expected to reach 20, in perpetuity. Thedinga, a Rancho Bernardo resident, established the endowment last December.

Million-dollar donor dies Honorary dinner is rescheduled for this Friday By Paul Hilker Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos President Dr. Bill Stacy announced July 24th that the university received a $1 million endowment from Donald and Marie Van Ness of Rancho Bernardo. Just one month later, on Aug. 25, Marie Gloria Orpall Van Ness passed away after a long battle with Parkinson's disease. A CSUSM Founders' dinner was postponed from the initial date of Aug 31 due to her death. The dinner was rescheduled and will be held in the Van Ness' honor Sept 22. The gift is the largest donation received by the school from any private donor, and will fund programs in entrepreneurial studies and t he College of Business. The Van Nesses, founders of CSUSM, have been long-time advocates and patrons of various b usiness e stablishments and higher education throughout San Diego, according to university officials. They have worked together to createthe International Donald VanNess and his wife Marie, who died recently after battling Parkinson's. Institute for Entrepreneurs, a support program for men and women going into private business. The Van Nesses are a model of integrity to the community, according to Jane Lynch, director of university development. "I think that the Van Ness' support and generosity serves as an example to other individuals and organizations in North County that higher education at CSUSM is worth their time and support.," she said. T hey've spent a great deal of their lives supporting philanthropic causes t hroughout Southern California." H ie issue of private donation is one of great concern to Cal State San Marcos. Lynch asserted the fact that "Every donation, regardless of its size, is greatly needed and appreciated since state funds insufficiently cover all of the needs of the university." Other donations to CSUSM have been made by Bill Daniels ($250,000), Ella J. T hedinga ($500,000), Ken Markstein (a tenyear $100,000 donation), and many others. The Van Nesses began were married in 1937, and with very little money built their wealth by heading a succession of businesses. A few of their past ventures include an international insurance network, an 80-acre farm in Illinois and their last business, which they sold in 1989 — a dry cleaning plant in Illinois. They moved to North County from Chicago in 1977. Don Van Ness continues to live in t he couple's Rancho Bernardo home. Greeks hold first campus rush By GregHoadley Staff Writer The signs were seen in the student parking lot, approaching the stairs leading up to campus — the large Greek insignias in colored chalk, includingthelarge "RUSH," signifying Cal State San Marcos'sfirstRush Week, which ended last Friday. Rush Week is the process by which campus fraternities and sororities select their new members. Throughout last week, potential members entered their bids for the sorority or fraternity they wanted to join. While the men's initiation was less structured, with bids coming at the end of t he week, t he women started earlier in the week. Potential membersfilledout preference cards indicating which sorority they preferred. There are two fraternities on campus, Tal Kappa Epsilon and Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and two sororities for women, Alpha Chi Omega and AlphaXi Delta. Events included a "velcro w air event at the San M arcos city gymnasium last Wednesday. "Rush Week prepares the new members for a lifetime commit- Trlsh Nagy/staff Photographer Tal Kappa Epsilon brothers challenge their coordination on a velcro wall. m ent," e xplained S tephanie Moore, Alpha Xi Delta president. "It is really special." Benefits and responsibilities of t he Greek lifestyle include lifelong friendships and community work, such as t he planned installation of an on-campus volleyball court, and workshops on current issues, as well as a support group for fellow members. "They always check up on each other to see if they're studying when they should be, things like that," said Cherine Heckman, who is Cal State San Marcos's Greek adviser. Greek life is by no means just work and study. Tal Kappa Epsilon recently held a beach bonfire, for example, and all of the organizations plan their own recreational activities which promote pride in their fraternity or sorority. �The annaul Cal State San Marcos pow wow takes place Oct. 7 and 8, and will feature food, festivities and dancing. Pow wow returns in early October By Carrie Tyler Staff Writer The enchanting sounds of dancing, singing and celebrating will ehco through the hills and valley as Cal State San Marcos holds its third annual PowWow Oct. 7 and 8. TheeventreplacestheannualQuestival, which has been rescheduled for next spring. The occasion will bring together American Indian tribal members from various states along with those native to San Marcos, the Luisenos, to share and celebrate their diverse cultural expressions with the University and the community. The PowWow begins at 11 a.m. Oct. 7, with Grand Entry at 1 and 7 p.m, ending at midnight and then resuming again the following day with closing ceremonies at 6 p.m. Featured dances will include various intertribal dances, t he gourd dance, woman's shawl dance and the grass dance. Also included will be a dance honoring the deceased, a marraige, or other special oc- casion, and a dance honoring the event's planning committee. Along with dancing there will be Kumeyaay and Intertribal Bird singers performing. Various tribes will also perform drum music throughout the celebration, and American Indian arts and crafts will be on display along with many tribal delicacies. Altogether there will be approximately 50 booths offering crafts, food and service organizations. The expected turnout is approximately 8,000, according to event coordinator Bonnie Biggs. While this event marks CSUSM's third pow wow, it also marks the university's eighth year of presenting American Indian events. "It is important for CSUSM that the Indian community knows that we are here for them,* explained Biggs, "that we are a place for their children to consider for their education. We are here to serve their community's needs."

Call Joyce at 750-4998 �History in the making David Taylor/Staff Photographer A breath of fresh air DITORIAL Students have, once again, made history at Cal State San Marcos. This fall, the university welcomed m 1 its f irst f reshman and sophomore classes. This accomplishment equals the importance of two other major events for the campus — the opening of the university itself in 1990 and the opening of the main campus two years later. While the importance of those milestones is undisputed, the acceptance of freshmen and sophomores holds an importance that eclipses the university's opening. A university does not exist without people. l ike the first students to attend CSUSM in 1990, and those that followed at the new campus in 1992, the freshman and sophomore classes add their own style of enthusiasm and life to the university. Their enthusiasm is unrelenting. The makeup of The Prided staff is a prime example. This newspaper has struggled to survive since 1993. Staffs have been small, if nonexistent. Not this semester. The newspaper begins its third year of publication with an unprecedented 16 staff members, the great majority of those beingfreshmen.Needless to say, they are a welcome asset. With their enthusiasm and willingness to do their best, The Pride looks forward to producing the best student publication ever for the CSUSM community. As for the rest of campus, the freshman and sophomore classes will make their mark in this institution's history by virtue of simply being here. To the classes of 1998 and 1999, welcome. We are glad you are here. <! EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Roman S. Koenig BUSINESS MANAGER Joyce Kolhe NEWS EDITOR Tony Barton ON-LINE EDITOR TyCarss FEATURE EDITOR John Loch ENTERTAINMENT EDITORS Jill Ballard, Julia McKinlay LAYOUT EDITOR ToddFederman It's not easy switching history hats. Thatmay seemlike ameaningless term, but i fs the best way to describe what 1995 has been like for me. I've always had a thing for history, especially when it comes to the schools I have attended over the years. This year, for example, marks the 50th anniversary of Palomar College, just across the freewayfromus. As past editor of that institution's student newspaper, The Telescope, and as an employee of the journalism department for almost two years (my work ended last spring), I was given the honor of being a contributing author for the school's 50th anniversary anthology. My section of the book, of course, dealt with the history of The Telescope. It took nearly the entire 1994-95 school year to compile the mountainous load of information about the paper. Along the way, I was able to come as close to living those days of the past as anyone my age can g et While it was a daunting task, it was an enjoyable one. I learned a lot about how my predecessors dealt with issues of censorship and news coverage. Most importantly, I had the opportunity to investigate in-depth how the newspaper covered the major events that shaped Palomar College into the institution it is today. Now comes the beginning of the 199596 academic year of the still-young Cal State San Marcos. I return for my final semester here as editor of The Pride, and this time my position is reversed. Instead of being the one writing about the past, I'm the one observing and recording history in the making. I've traded in one history hat for another. After nearly a year of dealing strictly with events that have already happened, I have to adjust to observing those same kinds of events happening in the now. In my academic career here, Ihave witnessed the opening of the permanent campus, the turmoil over Proposition 167 and, this year, the arrival of CSUSM's firstfreshmanand vfmanS. H JIF OENIG sophomore classes. Instead of researching history already recorded, my staff and I are recorders ourselves. What we write — the stories we cover—will no doubt be material for this university's 50th anniversary anthology. It's a position I am proud to be in. Working on Palomar's anthology has given me a new perspective aboutCSUSM. Here, students, faculty and staff are working to secure a solid future for this university. My work on the campus newspaper over the last three years has been part of that, but now I look on my work in a new way. I was never really aware before that 50 yearsfromnow my name—like many, many others on this campus — might be looked up in a heap of old documents to be resurrected as a symbol of a past long gone. Now that scares me. When I looked up the names of The Telescope's past editors, I couldn't help but wonderwhat some of them were doing today. Fortunately, many are still active members of the local journalism scene. Others faded into obscurity. No matter. The important thing is that they helped build a solid educational foundation based on excellence, and that's exactly what's happening here at this university. Perhaps thaf s the most important thing of all to remember — now and forever. Happy birthday, Palomar.

THE PRIDE �Campus leaders welcome students President Stacy urges students •Get involved/says new student to think and act 'anew' thisyear president Charles Ragland Niank you for asking me to take part in this first issue of T he Pride, and thanks to Roman Koenig for taking on the work of its editor this academic year. T he beginning of the school year is the most exciting time for me, like New Year's is for everybody else. I love seeing the campus filled with students after a quiet summer spent planning for your arrival. This year, we began the semester with a State of the University Address which listed for all of us some of our accomplishments of the past year, some of our "undones," and the hard and exciting work we face in the coming year. I cited Dr. Bill Stacy, university president Abraham Lincoln to remind us of the need to think anew and act anew. The quotation comes from Lincoln's challenge of December, 1862 to the Congress and the nation. It seems somehow appropriate to higher education's 1995 California climate: ' The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present... and we must rise with t he occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew." The case for CSUSM is still new in a climate charged with fiscal uncertainties and emotional anxieties. Still, we retain fpr a little while the uncommon opportunity in academe, as Lincoln put it, to think anew and act anew. "We must rise to the occasion." As we begin 1995-96,1 have asked for help in leading this campus forward. I want to think anew about a culture of civility, a renewed commitment toward a "studentfriendly" campus climate, better utilization of consultation and collaboration, closer touch with the campus by helping teach a class (thanks to Dr. Michael Huspek for offering the opportunity to spend a bit of time in a classroom again) and a better approach to respect differences while building on the concepts of "one individual among many." I hope you will accept some of this challenge as your own as you make your way across this emerging campus and find the opportunities to participate in the learning and teaching dialogues that take place here. Again, thank you for the opportunity to say hello and welcome. Bill W.Stacy President, California State University San Marcos . n behalf of the Associated Students, welcome to new students — and to continuing students, welcome back.

Charles Ragland President, Associated Students o Robbing Congress to pay Barney just doesn't cut the mustard anymore By Greg Hoadley Staff Writer In the current budget battles being fought in Washington DC, the Republican leadership h as decided that funding for such programs as t he Corporation for Public Broadcasting, National Endowment for the Humanities and National Endowmentfor t he Arts shall be spared with only minor in spending, after they had promised to cut such programs outright. Under the newly-proposed budget for 1996, spending on these programs will total $438 million. The Republicans blew i t The federal government h as become too big ($1.6 trillion, in fact) and really h as no business funding arts. It is a waste of money better spent elsewhere (or not spent at all), and many of t he funded arts could do quite well in a capitalist environment. Granted, $438 million is a small number when compared to the rest of the federal budget, which includes some $400 billion-plus in Social Security and $250 billionplus in defense. However, t he US government h as not balanced its budget since 1969, and $438 million is $438 million, no matter how you look at i t Arts funding should be seen for what it i s—a luxury item. Continued spending on luxury items in the face of debt is irresponsible. Period. As a college student, look at your own situation. If you are in debt, you keep what you need (food, clothing, etc.) and you toss what you only think you need (the latest Pearl Jam CD). A few months ago, I got a good laugh as I watched Congresswoman Nita Lowey (D-New York) accuse Republicans of trying to "kill Big Bird" and other arts funding as she held up a Big Bird doll for emphasis. There are two false assumptions here. One, shows like "Sesame Street" and "Barney" cannot survive without our tax dollars, and two, all the "art" generated by the NEA, NEH and CPB is worth its weight in gold. However, if Americans knew that their tax dollars were used to fund such "art" as a crucifix in a jar of urine, the infamous Robert Maplethorpe photos (too lewd to describe here), or even the distribution of $10 bills to illegal aliens (each of these projects received federal grants), they would then see that government-funded art is not just "Barney" and "Masterpiece Theatre." As you can see, much of it also goes against our societal standards of decency. Granted, t hese are the exception and not the rule. Some of this art is of high quality. This leads to my next point Some of the better material (especiallyfromPBS) would thrive in a capitalist society. For example, "Sesame Street" and "Barney" do not need any more funds to continue production. They have reaped enough profit to pay for themselves many times over. Also, channels offering programs similar to PBS, such as Nickelodeon (for children), the Discovery Channel and the Learning Channel, have done quite well on their own. The arts are important to our society. No one this side of Jesse Helms feels otherwise, but funding for it belongs in the private sector. If such art is deemed wholesome and fulfilling, it will have its financial support Just ask House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who has promised to give $10,000 of his money to public broadcasting over the next five years. �Tcrnk Three literature professors bring the west alive for the east By John Loch Feature Editor Most of us would not have a clue if someone asked us if we had caught our weekly installment of "Lost in California." We would probably respond with some confused look and try to remember the actorsfroma television show that does not exist. But to millions of subscribers to Asahi W eekly, a n ewspaper supplement in Japan, this title, along with several more, entertain readers each week and keep them coming backformore. Contributions to the supplement by Cal State San Marcos literature professors Dan McLeod, Laurel Amtower and Ken Mendoza have made them much-loved house- hold names throughout Japan. Asahi Weekly is a newspaper supplement similar to those found in Sunday newspapers here in the United States, the difference being that the Japanese must subscribe to the supplement. The publication is estimated to have the second-largest distribution in the world. Most people in Japan are fluent plan that was being developed by t he newspaper. McLeod jumped at the idea and began work on his first installment in a series of weekly serials to appear in the paper. After the unbelievable success of McLeod's first serial, it was decided that another writer was needed to help relieve his deadlines and tension. The newspa- per said they wanted a female voice, and Laurel Amtower was recruited. Her stories hit close to home with female readers and received a generous response. Shortly thereafter, Ken Mendoza was added and dazzled readers with stories of life in America's old west. Most of the readers of Asahi Weekly are seemingly fond of American culture. The stories submitted each week by the three professors keep readers coming back for more, and judging by readers' responses the authors could be around for awhile. So if you are ever in Japan, pick up a copy of Asahi Weekly. Who knows? You just might like what you read.

Most of the emphasis in the media is directed toward the benefits to physical health such as heart disease, high blood pressure and weight control. Frequently, students are surprised to learn the amazing benefit to one's mental health with exercise. Inthebackofourminds we all realize that we generally feel better if we are regularly exercising. In fact, exercise is a treatment or at least part of the treatment for stress reduction, anxiety disorders, and depression. Since depression is very common and h as a significant impact on the individual and society, I will discuss the role of exercise in the treatment of depression. Many are not aware that approximately 5 percent of men and 10 percent of women will have a major depression in their lifetime. Also, these percentages seem to be rising. Of people who have major depression unfortunately about 15 percent will commit suicide. The cost to society with medical and occupational factors included is about $40 4 5 billion. Thankfully, treatment is usually very successful and improving each year. Research indicates that exercise is a veryfavorabletreatment for mild to moderate depression. It is even better combined with the usual treatments: psychotherapy and medication. Interestingly, the studies that demonstrate this best was performed on college professors and college students. The good news is that even after the studies were finished (usually after 6-12 weeks), the benefits continued if the subjects continued to exercise. Why exercise is effective is unknown. There are proposed psychological and biological explanations. Today, we are gaining an improved understanding of the relationship of the brain's JNOLDS neurotransmitters and depression. Most researches believe that exercise has a direct effect on the neurotransmitters by improvingthe transmission of these s ubstances a nd a lleviating d epression's symptoms. Research continues in order to unravel this picture. You may have heard all this before, but once again, something as simple as regular exercise has incredible benefitto one's health. We are not sure of the mechanism but it is safe to say that exercise is an important component in the treatment of depression. It also may be one of few preventive therapies for those who are not clinically depressed. Dr. Joel Grinolds is director of Student Health Services.

The Quad, the new student dormitory building which is across the street from the main campus and located on Barham Drive, is the first phase of what will come to be known as the North City development, a part of the new San Marcos University District. On Nov. 28 the city of San Marcos accepted a $1 million grant from California Natural Resources Agency to help construct part of this district. This grant goes toward restoration of habitat and construction of a multipurpose trail alongside San Marcos creek. Part of the construction will include 308 new 'beds' opening at The Quad, which will open for fall of next year.

Previously, students resulted to parking in the lots of Palmoar Pomerado Health center to avoid paying for passes, however PPH began enforcing their parking regulations this semester and towing unauthorized vehicles, pushing the students back to parking lots on campus. "I realized that I ' d rather park off-campus and walk an extra ten minutes than pay the ridiculous parking pass fee. As a student, I can't afford extra expenses on top of increasing tuition" said senior, Brandon Torres.

North City will be geared to the student population as a "Live, work, play hub with restaurants and retail that are student-serving in nature," Communications Officer with the City of San Marcos, Jenny Windie said. OINTHE The city plans show that The Quad is slated to be on the corner of Campus Way and North City Drive. This means that Barham Drive, which is where The Quad is currently located, will have a name-change as part of the development. In preparation, students should become familiar with all routes to campus, to avoid future confusion and construction. The University District is a part of the city's efforts to create a popular and thriving central downtown region. The area will eventually OUGAR V i/ w merge with and be touching the Creek District, an effort to preserve and appreciate the natural environment of San Marcos.

THE HEART SENIOR STAFF W RITE R If you are an avid beachgoer, it is inevitable that you are going to contract some sort of illness due to environmental and human contamination. World beaches and oceans certainly aren't the cleanest playgrounds on Earth and they expose you to many viruses, parasites, and bacteria. In addition, ocean water becomes contaminated with sewage storm run-off and oil, making you more susceptible to getting sick. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, microorganisms can enter through the oral route (ingestion), through the eyes, ears and nose, or through an open wound. Common moreserious illnesses you are at risk for include hepatitis A and MRS A, giardia, leptospirosis and many others. According to Surfers Against Sewage, surfers are three times more likely to contract hepatitis A than the general public. Hepatitis A is a contagious liver disease that results from infection with the hepatitis A virus and can be transmitted through exposure to contaminated water as well as many other routes. M ethicillin-resistan t Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is caused by an infection most often resistant to antibiotics—a huge problem for ocean enthusiasts, especially surfers. Individuals who engage in ocean sports are more susceptible to getting MRSA from the ocean due to entering the ocean with open wounds. MRSA has been cultured near shores and in storm and sewer waters, imposing a huge risk of entering the ocean after a heavy rainfall. Parasites and bacteria cause other illnesses like giardia and leptospirosis, respectively. It is especially common in places without proper sanitation to come into contact with B Y KATLIN SWEENEY FEATURES EDITOR bacteria and parasites, which will cause serious and uncomfortable complications. Everyone is susceptible to these infections after entering the ocean; however, it is important that you take necessary preventive measures. These include good hand washing and hygiene practices, and ensuring that you don't enter the ocean until 48 to 72 hours after a heavy rainfall. Understanding that the ocean contains contaminants detrimental to your health and taking necessary precautions will ultimately increase your time to use it as your playground.

Question: When did you start playing basketball? Answer: I first started playing basketball when I was in the third grade with my dad teaching me the-game. This then led to me joining a club team in Santa Barbara, in the fourth grade. Q: What first attracted you to the sport? A: I was first attracted to the sport of basketball by how fast it was compared to all the other sports that I tried to play. It was the most fun for me. Q: What has your experience with the team at CSUSM been like so BY ALEX FRANCO For the better part of the last three seasons, CSUSM softball has dominated the NAIA circuit, winning the AJX conference title and reaching the NAIA final four, in back-to-back seasons.

A: My favorite thing about basketball is competing against other teams and beating them. Q: Who are your biggest supporters? A: My biggest supporters are my family. They have been by my side through thick and thin and have supported me ever since I started playing the game. Q: What is the best advice you ever received from a coach, supporter, etc.? A: The best advice I received is that hard work outworks talent when talent doesn't work hard, from my dad when I was little. Q: Do you plan on pursuing anything basketball-related after college? A: I plan on pursuing basketball after college, whether it's coaching the game or continuing playing the game. playoff experience, Coach Williams' team looks to improve on last season's spectacular 55-6 season.

"We were disappointed last year with the early loss. We want to at least make thè nationals this year. We are deeper in pitching and should make up for not being as deep in offense," Coach Pugh said on this year's expec- tations. The Cougars are returning this season with last year's A.I.I. conference pitcher of the year and NAIA Ail-American selection, James Dykstra, who Coach Pugh said they are very fortunate to have back this season. Dykstra pitched lights out last season, and will carry the CSUSM pitching staff that the team will rely on this year. The team also returns with center fielder Kyle Secciani and third baseman Kyle Belzer, a first team conference selection last season. Coach Pugh comes into this season with a bevy of new transfers ready to make an impact on the Cougar squad. "It was a great recruiting season. With the transfers and recruits, we are a better team this year,"Pugl^said. The Cougars start the season with a tough test on Feb. 1 against conference foe and highly talented Concordia, which Coach Pugh said is a good way to start the season off and get into it with a tough matchup like this one, and is a must-watch game for all. With the team's deep pitching staff, and once they get going offensively, the Cougars should be a force to be reckoned with in the conference and beyond. �Features Editor : Kadin Sweeney cougarchron.features@gmail.com C SUS M takes U CS D by storm in D J competition B Y J ESSI E G A M B R E L L C O - A & E EDITOR CSUSM took its top DJ artists to compete against UCSD in the Red Bull DJ Master competition held on Tuesday, Nov. 13, at Pacific Beach Bar & Grill.

B Y KATLIN SWEENEY Avoiding finals stress Ways t o keep from getting overwhelmed B Y KATLIN SWEENEY FEATURES EDITOR Make sure your study habits are not only effective, but perfect for you. As exam week is approaching, students are beginning to stress out over essays and finals preparation. Here are some ways that you can avoid becoming overwhelmed: 1. Maintain Organization & Goal Lists Before you even begin to study for finals, mark a calendar with all of your finals dates, important due dates and anything you may forget. Prepare a study schedule with individual gods for every day you plan to prepare, that way you do not become too overwhelmed and know what you can accomplish each day before drifting off to sleep. 2. Eat Healthy When studying for exams, healthy eating is a must. While the ice cream and Bagel Bites look appetizing, your mind works much better when you are eating food that helps you think instead of making you tired. Try snack food alternatives like grapes, yogurt, carrots or salads. Almonds, peanuts, walnuts and cashews especially are known for being good sources of energy. Trading in the M&Ms and candy bars for healthy alternatives might sound like a hassle, but by the time your exams come up, you will be feeling much more awake and alert. 3.

Old years resolutions How reflecting on the past resolutions can influence 2013's BY KEANDRE WILLIAMS-CHAMBERS COPY EDITOR The 2013 year is just over the horizon and it's almost time to have a new set of goals to complete. But before you make those new resolutions, it may be a good idea to evaluate the resolutions you made last year. New Years is a time of looking forward and taking any mistakes you've made in the past and finally applying the lessons learned. However, in order to complete this endeavor, you would need to keep in mind your performance from the last year. Ask yourself; do you remember your resolutions from January, 2012? And if you do, how long did you keep those? Did you stay true to them, or did you decide they were impossible? And most importantly, were they realistic enough that you could stay to it? Second year student Maribel Olea contemplated these questions deeply. She recalled making wishes for the ending year, which did eventually come true. "Well, I remembered that I wished to be more open and meet more people, [and] to be closer to people. It forced me to get out my comfort zone. It took a long time, but each time I tried, things got better " Olea said. Effort was an important part on the completion of Olea's goals. She made her goals something that were both realistic and attainable, which made them much more likely to come to pass. Second year student Karen Guzman remembers her New Years resolution clearly. She made her goal wide enough in terms of time so that she could give herself the time and focus to achieve it, but made it specific and important enough so that she could not lose sight on it. An important thing to note when making your resolutions f o r the New Year is to make certain that they are attainable. Don't over-think a goal, because the likelihood of it coming to pass will dim as time goes on. It'll require too much effort. Make it simple, make it sweet. Let yourself want it enough to work for it, but make it sweet enough so that you won't lose interest. And most of all, make it something worthwhile. The more value you place on it, the more likely you'll want it and regret it if you don't try for it.

On Dec. 6, students will be visited by the members of Love on a Leash: Foundation For Pet-Provided Therapy. There will be a dozen certified therapy dogs of all sizes from the foundation on campus. These animal 'therapists' are specialized in helping students get their minds stress-free to relax for a few hours. CSUSM is one of many college campuses that are using animals to help students cope with the pressure to do well on exams. "Many campuses in San Diego, including SDSU, and around the country have similar events. Yale Law School library even provides a dog-lending program!" Outreach Librarian Melanie Chu said. For the fourth consecutive semester, Kellogg Library is bringing these therapy dogs on campus to give students a study break. CSUSM considers helping their students succeed while making sure they do not become overwhelmed is one of their top priorities when it comes to exam time. "Numerous research studies have shown that the simple act of petting a dog releases the 'feel good' hormone, oxytocin, and lowers blood pressure. Therapy dogs work with nursing homes, hospitals, veterans, public libraries—so we* wanted to bring them to CSUSM too!" Chu said. Make sure to take the necessary study breaks to keep yourself refreshed and focused for your upcoming finals. Pause For Paws will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursday Dec. 6 at the third floor main entrance to Kellogg Library near Starbucks.

For some, this is the last step in their undergraduate career. Provided I have no unexpected surprises in the next few weeks, I will be joining the ranks of the CSUSM alumni. I used to say that I would graduate; god-willing and time-permitting. Finally, the moment has materialized. I have one more paper to turn in and two finals to take. It may seem like a light load but getting to this point has been both difficult and rewarding. Classes are enough of a load. For those of you know, I am also a single mother. I started going to college in 2004. Eight years later, I get to complete my goal. Hopefully, my story is not a bore. I intend to relay a few facts of life that got me to where I am today. I have been working since I was 16 years old. By 2006, I was making $18 an hour, more than double the current minimum wage. At that time, I took my savings and began a study abroad experience. In 2008,1 could barely find work at $10 per hour for positions that either had the same or more responsibilities. Furthermore, schools were impacted and I had to re-apply for admission. T h e h ear t of Christma s B Y JESSIE GAMBRELL Co-A&E E DITO R As I am sure many of you have wondered, just what exactly does the word "Christmas" mean? Well it is simple really, all it means is "Christ," "Mass:" The mass of Jesus Christ, the celebration of his being; or to be precise, the celebration of his birth into this world. According to gallup. com, over 78 percent of all people in the U.S. are Christian, which is no wonder as to how this celebration became to be so big. Every year around this time, we start to prepare for the holidays: Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years; but the actual holiday of Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus, despite all that advertisements, media and commercialization make it out to be. According to commercials and retailers, Christmas is a time of year to share gifts, time with family and merriment. It is usually filled with yummy cookies, snowmen and above all, Santa and his reindeer. The notion 'of spending hoards of money, stress and time trying to race around to find the right presents for our loved ones is getting away from the true meaning of Christmas. If we take a moment and look into what exactly it is we are celebrating, then it might have more meaning to us and won't be (as it is for some) a stressful, sometimes lonely time of year. Having that "center," that purpose in life to know that it isn't just us in this life that we have to worry about, but to know that we aren't alone, to know that someone is out there looking out for us. The celebration of Christ-mass is the birthday celebration of that person who is your salvation, companion, and protector. No matter who you are, where you come from, or what you believe; God will always be there for you. He does not judge you, but loves you! Without the love and sacrifice He has given us, we would have no meaning and no happy ending. So, the next time you say "Merry Christmas," just think to yourself how wonderful this world is because of His existence and the tremendous sacrifice He made on the cross for us. The sacrifice He made to open the pearly gates of heaven to us that we may have a fighting chance to prove ourselves in this life to deserve the treasure that awaits us in the next. Merry Christmas! By 2010, I had a child and I went back to school. The job that I had at the time was so stressful that I was having health problems during my pregnancy. My health issues drastically diminished the moment I stopped working. At that moment, I made a pact with myself to strive for excellence and well-being. Education would be a large part of achieving that goal. First and foremost, I want to thank every professor I have had the pleasure of meeting here. I want to thank you for every assignment, every lecture, and every grade I have received; because even the grades that are not up to par provide opportunity for improvement and learning. I want to thank every organization on campus and J e Gambrell & J essi uliana Stumpp D ESIG N E DITO R Morgan Hall Keandre Williams- Chambers B Y KEANDRE WILLIAMS-CHAMBERS C OP Y EDITOR We are almost there. The last month of our lives has come upon us all, or so we have been told. According to the lore we have heard over the past year and beyond, the Mayan calendar ends this December 21,2012, and with it, the world that we have known. Now, I am not very briefed on this subject, but there is one thing I am certain of. There have been many different hypotheses on the end times of this mortal world. There was the Y2K phenomenon that predicted the downfall of man due in part to our dependency on technology. Twelve years later, we're still here. There was buzz about the Rapture occurring in both May and October of N E W S E DITO R Melissa M artinez S P O R T S E DITO R Ale x Franco F EATURE S E DITO R Katlin Sweeney O PINIO N E DITO R Amir a El- Khaouli D ISTRIBUTIO N M ANAGER S J e Gambrell & J essi uliana Stumpp S A L E S REP Rogers J aflarian CARTOONISTS in school and stick with it; while you are at it, try everything that you can manage to try, time-permitting. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, roughly 30 percent of. people graduate college with a bachelor's degree. Almost eight percent have a masters and only three percent have a Ph.D. And according to the news, the top one percent of the wealthiest people in American control the largest portion of money, stock, property and business. Hmm. Challenge accepted! I wish everyone here that kind of success. See you on the other side CSUSM. Congratulations to all Seniors who are graduating this fall! 2011, the day or days in which divine judgment would be brought upon mankind. The only judgment seen was those that judged the prediction as inaccurate. My point is, each one had reasonably logical thinking and a good amount of backing. However, each one presented a good amount of speculation that was essentially based on the premise of "if this is true, then..." So, let's go about that premise. Let's think of what might happen should the end of the Mayan calendar accurately predict the end of the world. What could really be done about it? The apocalypse is not something any group of men could prevent in any way, especially considering that it marks a divine force that is both outside and towering over the realm of man. Let's presume it happens. It's unstoppable and uncontainable. Not a single soul is spared. Can we comprehend that being the end? Or will there be something after? The concept of time is something that man struggles with, and life encompasses that. Every person has at least had some sort of consideration as to the possibility of life being either unending or continuing after death. This, of course, goes into the realm of religion, but I am far from an expert on that field. But let's consider this. There are many possibilities, and the only way to truly know is to see the "other side" firsthand, supposing there may or may not be one. I wouldn't know. I haven't died yet, and I hope not to for a reasonable while (knock on wood). But whether or not the end of the world decides to grace us, we still have to consider that there are days before it. Are that many people that concerned? I doubt it. With the Christmas hype still going on strong, people seem to care more about that than the supposed coming end. It could be people's wishful thinking, or maybe even doubt, but I see it as people truly not caring about the coming end of the world. The habit has set in to not really believe each and every theory of the end. Heck, I even laughed at the premise of the apocalypse. If it happens, it will happen. I'll have no quarrel with it because there is little I can do about the matter.

There were many vendors of various specialties such as jewelry, hats and scarves, pottery, photography, individualized stationary, mosaic pieces, paintings and drawings, among other specialty items all made by local crafters. "This is our fourth time coming [to the ArtWalk] and it's been slow, there were a lot more college C o - A & E EDITOR It has been nine years since the last film of the trilogy, "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" hit theaters, and now on Friday, Dec. 14, the prequel to the "Lord of the Rings" series will hit the big screens. "The Hobbit" book will be presented as a set of three movies. From the same makers as the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, so you can expect the same feel and quality of production. Get ready to be immersed into the fantastical world of the writer of the book series, J. RJR. Tolkien's "Middle Earth." Director Peter Jackson is a die-hard fan who even has his own "Hobbit Hole" house in New Zealand, the film location of the mov- ies. He managed to capture the amazing world that Tolkien had created in the books, bringing it to life through the magic of cinema and delivering the feel of Middle Earth as if you were walking through the beautiful fields and mountains. The plot revolves around Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), a hobbit who comfortably lives in the quiet village of the Shire that rarely ever sees any action at all. A fellow wizard, Gandalf (Ian McKellen) convinces him to go on a journey to the Lonely Mountains to help a fellowship of dwarves win back their stolen treasure from the greedy dragon, Smaug. Through their adventure to the mountains, they come across many chal- students here last month and the month before that." To Ends of the Earth jewelry and gourd crafter, Rosalyn Hackworth said. A live band, "Soul Malady," performed from 4 - 5:30 p.m. featuring guitarist and former stu- dent, Manny Sanchez and drummer and current stu-. dent, Nikola Pantic, "We have different genres, I call it a "fusion," we try to get a mix of reggae, latin and jazz," Pantic said. The Old Restaurant Row ArtWalks happen every Sunday of every month and admission is free. If you would like to attend the next ArtWalk, you can find more information at: www.san-marcos .net or contact Marilyn Huerta at 760-744-9000.

The "Lord of the Rings" trilogy was such a big hit in the theaters as well as on the shelves, the gross revenue being $2,915,155,189 in the U.S., according to askville.com by Amazon. "The Hobbit" was originally written by J.R.R. Tolkien as a storybook for his children, when it was accidentally read by a publisher who was quick to publish it.

'FF No. V Review - Familiar Faces Take Over the Future Foundation Warning: This article contains spoilers to recent story arcs. Comic art couple Michael and Laura Allred return to Marvel Comics with the relaunch of "FF." "FF," or better known as the "Future Foundation," began in 2010 when the "Fantastic Four" wanted to create a new organization after the departure of "Johnny Storm" in "Fantastic Four" Issue No. 587. With the old team now reunited, Reed Richards finds out that they must leave the foundation and hand over the commands to someone else. The team consists of "Medusa," "Ms. Thing," "She-Hulk," and leader "Ant-Man." It is an interesting mix of "fantastic" veterans who must now help teach the young geniuses while protecting the earth from harm. People question the appointment of "Ant-Man," for it is Scott Lang's return after losing his daughter, Cassandra Lang ("Stature") during "Avengers: Children's Crusade."

Education@red)ands.edu UNIVERSITY OF Redlands S C H O O L OF "Les Miserables" premieres Tuesday, Dec. 25 and is an adaptation from the longest running Broadway play. The film is full of passion and raw emotion from start to finish. "Les Miserables" first hit the stage in France in 1980. Originally a French fictional novel written by Victor Hugo and published in 1862, the American translation was not published until 1879, carrying over 1,200 pages. This upcoming movie boasts an all-star cast; with Hugh Jackman as lead role and ex-convict, Jean Valjean who tries to make, right in the world, Russell Crowe as the French guard, Javert who hunts Valjean. Anne Hathaway as tragic factory worker Fantine, Amanda Seyfried as the haunting charac- EDUCATION Education+ Apple Valley | Rancho Cucamonga | Redlands | Santa Ana | Temecula ter of Fantine's daughter, Cosette, Helena BonhamCarter and Sasha Baron Cohen as the swindling, ragamuffin innkeepers, and Eddie Redmayne as the valiant fighter and love interest of Cosette, Marice. The movie keeps very closely to the Broadway version of the story, being a classic Broadway musical, and is full of the wonderful songs and ballads such as "I Dreamed a Dream," "On My Own," "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables" and "Bring Him Home." This movie is already being considered for nomination of "Best Film of the Year" since it is going to be released late like director Tom Hooper's last Academy Award-winning film, "The King's Speech" two years ago. Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway are also being considered for nomination for the best actor and Actress. The film and actors warrant the high praise , they are receiving due to the never-before-seen "live" singing on set. The actors had an earpiece in their ear for each song , the melody was only played on a piano t o help guide them along, but everything else was up to them. The rest of the orchestra was added in later. This has never been done before in a motion picture film, which gave it a uniqueness arid genuine quality. "Les Miserables" will definitely be one of the movies that people, of all ages will want to see this Christmas break. Although be warned that with its highly intense and dramatic and sometimes violent scenes, it would probably not be a good idea to take anyone under teenage. Use your own discretion.

Kids and kids-at-heart alike were waiting with anticipation for Santa to climb the ladder to light the Christmas tree in front of City Hall. After Santa reached the top of the ladder, the crowd counted down and then the tree was lit, starting off the holiday season for the San Marcos community. There was no shortage of Christmas decorations, crafts, activities or kids at the City of Sail Marcos' "Santa's Magical Village" this past Saturday. Inside City Hall, there were dozens of Christmas trees decorated and lit as part of the "Festival of Trees," which was presented by the San Marcos Senior Services Foundation. The trees had been lighting up the hallways of City Hall since Nov. 19 - Dec. 2. The trees also provided many of Saturday night's guests with ideal backdrops for family photos. Outside City Hall, local youth entertained everyone with Christmas tunes. The ensembles that performed included the San Marcos Youth Orchestra, San Elijo Middle School Jazz Band, and the San Marcos High School Jazz Band. Their joyful, jazzy music filled the air, as did the delicious smells from the food trucks. From pizza to burgers to Mexican food and more, there was something for feveiyone to choose from to satisfy their appetites while enjoying the festivities of the evening. As for dessert, there was a booth for kids to make their own mini gingerbread houses! Inside the Community Center, craft vendors filled the hallways and various rooms throughout. Shoppers could find many colorful displays of jewelry, hats, scarves, decorations, and other items to help them check off their Photo by Alison S e eagl Christmas lists. There was even a room filled with games and activities for the kids to play with and the opportunity to meet Santa, to whisper to him what they wanted for Christmas, and get their picture taken. It was pretty easy to tell from all of the "Oohs," "Ahhs," and cheers that on this Saturday night, everyone who attended enjoyed themselves and both were and are happy that the Christmas season has finally arrived. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
