These reactions were gaged in an unscientific anonymous poll by Pioneer of 39 students at CSUSM. The sample reflects about 6.5 percent of the population attending the university. Thirty-one of those sampled were women, with the remaining eight responses coming from men, accurately reflecting the gender demographics of the campus. Of those sampled, 16 were between the ages of 18-25; 10 were between the ages 26-32; seven were between the ages 33-40, and the remaining six were above 40 years-old. Of those surveyed, only two felt that the U.S. should no longer continue its activity in the Persian Gulf. Two people held no opinion, while the remainder of the students said the U.S. should continue with its involvement. Of the students who indicated that involvement should continue, one said that forces should be reduced. Most of those polled felt that there were multiple reasons for America's involvement in the Persian Gulf. Thirty-three responses indicated that the U.S. became involved to stop Hussein from gaining too much power. Twenty-five felt that the U.S. was in the region to liberate Kuwait, while only 23 felt that oil was the reason for military presence. One student said that the conflict in the Middle East is an ego trip by world leaders. The student said that this is an opportunity for those leaders to test their military weapons.

NEWS 3 B udweiser d istributer g ives l argest l ocal g ift With a donation to help in the formation of a scholarship program at Cal State San Marcos, Ken Markstein, president of Markstein Beverage Co. in San Marcos, has committed $100,000 to the university, making him the largest local contributor to the university. CSUSM President Bill Stacy announced the contribution January 23, five days before the commencement of the spring semester. "It's a splendid thing that Mr. Markstein has done," Stacy said. "To receive such a strong voice of confidence from our neighbor in the community is a great thing. Particularly in these difficultfiscaltimes,Mr. Markstein's generosity grants to us the flexibility that provides excellence to our students in North County." The g ift from Markstein will be awarded in increments over the next 10 years, with thefirst$10,000 check endowing a scholarship program for business students. The second year?s check will endow related faculty enhancement for the MBA program to be developed at the university. Each year's donation thereafter will alternate between funding student scholarships and faculty enhancement. Director of Financial Aid, Paul Phillips, said that details regarding the scholarships will be announced later in the year. He said the contribution is an "absolutely wonderful" addition to the Financial Aid program. Bernard Hinton, founding faculty professor of Business Management, said in a written statement that the endowment could strengthen ties to the business community. "TheCollegeof Business Administration is deeply committed to a close working relationship with the North County business community; we are equally aware of our responsibility to justify their faith in us," Hinton wrote. "With the support of such community citizens as Ken, we expect to be able to provide the quality education the North County area desires and deserves." Markstein Beverage Co. is the North C ounty d istributor f or Budweiser Beer and other Anheiser BusQh products. The gift, which will be called The Markstein Beverage Co. Scholarship Program, is the largest contribution to CSUSM to be made locally. It marks the third largest endowment to date. Earlier in the yfear, Bill Daniels, of Daniels Cablevision in Denver, endowed $250,000 for the formation of a chair in Communications. Most recently, Itoman, a Japanese trading finn, announced a $500,000donation last September for the establishment of an annual international festival. Another $250,000 endowment, by Allan O, Kelly of Carlsbad, was rejected by the college last fall following criticism from the academic community. The Kelly endowment would have helped form a chair in Geology. Markstein could not be reached for comment as of press time, but Stacy indicated that the donation was made as a gesture of community support. "He wanted to d o something as a hometown guy to support our programs" he said.

FEBRUARY 5 , 1 991 /PIONEER 5 Hepatitis threat greater than earlier thought You are probably feeling saturated with information concerning sexually transmitted diseases; however, some recent studies and initiative by the Centers for Disease Control reveal the Hepatitis B Virus (HB V) infection is more a more serious threat to the college-age population than was previously thought HB V is among a group of viruses including, human papilloma virus (HPV—commonly referred to as genital warts), human immune deficiency virus (HIV), and herpes simplex virus (HSV)—labeled the "modern sexually transmitted diseases" by many. These viruses carry the potential to cause serious illness, including various cancers and death. Specifically, HBV infection, for which if there is no treatment, can lead to impaired liver function, chronic liver disease, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The severity of the disease ranges from unapparent cases (with no recognizable signs and symptoms) to a fulminating fatal illness (rarely). Usually, Hepatitis B patients have some mild ¡¡ m u f*B U I k| fܧ ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡I mm H EALTHNOTES DR. JOEL GRINOLDS symptoms and occasionally jaundice (a yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes), but frequently are diagnosed as having a mild viral infection or the so-called gastrointestinal flu. Approximately 10 percent of patients will becomecarriers. Also, a certain numberof carriers will develop chronic, active hepatitis which leads to serious problems. That brings us to the mode of transmission. HBV causes 300,000 infections annually and these occur primarily in young adults. Trans- Y earbook s urvey o rigin q uestioned Yearbookcommitteemembersand Cal State San Marcos administrators are puzzled over the origin of survey forms recently distributed around the campus. According to BarbaraPender, who leads the student subcommittee on the organization of a yearbook, the survey questionnaire entitled, "Student Survey for First Class Yearbook," did not come from the yearbook staff. In fact, says Pender, the survey contains questions that are too personal for use in the forthcoming publication. "We don't want to know who a person's spouse is or what the spouse's occupation is," said Pender. "We're not going to make the yearbook a personal biography." At first Pender thought the survey was placed by someone on the year* book committee, but all members denied drafting the questionnaire. She then looked to the administration for the source of the survey, but found no answers there either. "We thought, It's got to be someone within the system. The box where the surveys were dropped had a logo from the Staff Directory," said Pender. Linda Leiter, secretary of Student Services, said she has no idea from where the survey came. Barbara Davis, receptionist in the President's Office, and Sandra Punch, coordinator of Student Services at SDSU North County and CSUSM, also were perplexed over the survey's origin. "Itjustappeared,"saidPunch.Most of the flyers that are distributed around campus pass through Punch's office. After finding no link between the administration and the survey, Pender pulled all copies from the Student Lounge and gave them to the Office of Student Services. Yearbook subcommittee member Mary Parker said she saw a welldressed man in his forties place surveys in the Student Lounge last semester, but thought the survey was a college-sanctioned document. Pender and officials are also perplexed over a reference to the "Student Affairs Office" at the bottom of the questionnaire. The official title belonging to the department which handles student activity is "Student Services" and not "Student Affairs." The survey is printed on a blue stock paper similar to that found in the university's copy rooms, but it was written on a typewriter and not a computer. The college uses computers for most of its document drafts. Pender said shedoesn't believe the survey was distributed out of malice, but feels it could harm the reputation of the yearbook committee. "Because of this, the yearbook is not going to be putting out surveys," cited Pender. "Why would anybody go through such trouble—such cost— to sabotage the yearbook?" mission of the virus is by sexual exposure, blood transfusions, needle exposure, and perinatal exposure (in the pregnancy and birth process). Among the college age population, Hepatitis B virus is transmitted mainly through heterosexual activity with either a carrier or someone who has the active disease. What is new is that heterosexual activity as a cause of HBV has increased 38 percent in the last five years, accounting for 25 percent of the cases of HBV, and replacing homosexual activity on importance as ariskfactor. Heterosexual activity considered as highrisk for HBV infection includes duration of sexual activity (years sexually active), number of sexual partners, and history of other STDs. As any/each of these risk factors increase, so does theriskof acquisition of Hepatitis B virus infection. As a prevention strategy, "safer sex" helps by the use of condoms and by decreasing the number of sexual partners in order to reduce exposure to infectious semen and vaginal secre- tions. However, the HBV can be present in other body fluids such as saliva so that intimate contact may be risky. Vaccination of persons at highriskis the best way to significantly decrease the incidence of HBV in the college-age population. Student Health Services through SDSU is conducting an educational intervention that looks at ways in which students receive information about Hepatitis B and their need to receive the HBV vaccine (at a reduced cost). If you think you or a friend are atrisk,contact Health Services at Cal State San Marcos, SDSU North County campus, 471-3578, to have your questions answered about your risk and how to receive the HBV vaccine. In the next column J will discuss the health effects of caffeine consumption. Please submit health-related questions in the envelope outside of Student Health Services.

Times Advocate proposal requires student approval In early 1990, Cal State San Marcos invited entrepreneurs to participate in the creation of this nation's first public university in nearly a quarter century. The founders, and subsequent staff, of Pioneer newspaper proudly accepted this offer. It's our pleasure to have initiated the process of student publication. The press is organic to a democratic society, and our staff weighs its role accordingly. Likewise, it is gratifying to hear from numerous students and staff commending our work. In the interim, the Escondido based Times Advocate offered a package deal to the budding campus. Their proposition, if implemented, wouldrequire every Cal State San Marcos student to subscribe to the Times Advocate newspaper as a condition to attending school. In turn, the Times Advocate would enable the founding of a College of Journalism through a combination of capital and services support. The official school newspaper (not the Pioneer) would be a mere insert in the Escondido daily. This offer has met with widespread disappointment. Firstly, the Times Advocate is proposing an exclusive service contract—spending student paid fees—so don't mistake this for philanthropy. It is neither a corporate gift nor an endowment. Secondly, Cal State San Marcos would be obligating its students to buy a private tabloid through the imposition of student fees. This steals our freedom to make choices as consumers of news. Furthermore, it puts the University in the position of endorsing a private firm's services on an exclusive basis. initially, it seems exciting to be the recipient of an entire newsroom, even at the expenses stated. Unfortunately, the greatest cost is unstated: the inevitable mediocrity that would result from a journalism department shackled to a local daily. The best journalism students will not attend a program that directs its efforts to producing an insert anymore than the highly talented would write for the Pennysaver. Likewise, the best professors of the trade would be reluctant to teach for a department that depends on a private enterprise for its continued existence. Certainly it would be the first time that Cal Sate San Marcos steers itself to less than excellence in any endeavor. The most perplexing—and reprehensible— situation, however, is not the Time Advocate's behavior. Private firms should, rationally, do everything possible to increase their value, and it is not my purpose to condemn them f or trying. On the contrary, the greatestdisappointment is the University a dministration'sfailureto D AVID H AMMOND c i t f ' £ PIONEER COLUMNIST Times A dvo- cate's offer in light of their previous handling of a much less offensive offer of a Geology chair. In that instance, the donor requested that his theories be tested, presumably by the scholar he sought to subsidize. Ultimately, President S tacy scrubbed the idea in the interest of academic integrity. An inconsistency is apparent in the responses of an academic community that until now religiously promoted the tenants of political correctness. When an individual tries to "buy" a testing ground for his scientific theories, it is taboo to the purists. However, when a firm attempts to create and dictate the operations of a whole school of journalism, the overall reaction is indifference. Obviously we share our path with hypocrites. Perhaps most outrageous is the fact that the voice of student government—the Student Governance Task Force, and its subcommittees—is being ignored. In November of 1990, the Newspaper Subcommittee,charged by Student Services Dean Ernest Zomalt to formulate recommendations for an official school paper, rejected the Times Advocate proposal. Surprisingly, this conclusion was not the basis for further action by the Administration. I urge the University Council to relinquish student newspaper decisions to the student government I further beg of the University administration to act consistently by sticking to precedent and rejecting any and all offers that are less than a gift. If Cal State San Marcosexpects to recruit entrepreneurs, it must be sure that the reward of recognition is the prize of the truly giving. Mothers, wives, girlfriends. Are you tired of financing wars started by posturing, impotent old men with the blood of your sons and lovers? Do your intestines knot when you watch the cowards who are our congressional representatives give away their constitutional right to declare war? Then, if you have the stomach for it, you may want to follow this advice for ending all war and creating a truly new world order. Tonight, while your male loved one sleeps, gently go to him. Whisper PIONEER COLUMNIST your love for him, and t hen... slit his throat from ear to ear. Sick? Outrageous? Disgusting? Definitely. But look at the failure of lesser measures. Almost 2500 years ago, Lysistrata, the heroine of Aristophanes' play of the same name, attempted to stop war by uniting all the women of Athens. These wives of Greek soldiers withheld sex from their husbands until the latter agreed to never fight again. Looking at the evening news, it obviously didn't work. Lysistrata, and all women throughout the millenia, have failed to recognize one important f act We men prefer making war to making love. Perhaps it's testosterone poisoning. This hormone gives men greater physical strength and also appears to trigger aggressive behavior. Perhaps i t's environmental. Men have been raised with the belief that anger is the only socially acceptable emotion. Probably it's a combination of both. But whatever the cause of the problem, the destruction of the world can only be reversed by women uniting and reclaiming their power. And I'm not referring to the women's movement. The Gloria Allreds and Steinems of the world, well-intentioned as they are, have contented themselves with seeking financial and political equality with males. This is as absurd as a cheetah seeking genetic equality with a snail because it envies the glittering slime traiHt makes on a sidewalk. Face it, ladies. We men are on the verge of destroying the only planet you've got. There are no suburbs to flee to this time. Only a revolution by all the women of the world has any chance to save the human species. Too long have you been the mourners and nurses for the dead and dying. Too long have you deferred your power to male-dominated misinterpretations of the Bible, Koran and Torah. They say the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. Modern Iraq, between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers,is ancient Mesopotamia, "the cradle of civilization." We men are now rocking that cradle with bombs, oil spills and ego-terrorism of the worst kind. If you women don't shed your meekness along with your veils and feminine deodorant spray, and reclaim your God-given power as giversoflife, your only legacy will be the stench of a dead ocean and dying earth spreading from here to eternity.

He motioned to the television set in the store's lobby, playing the latest war coverage. Vietnam veteran Ron Kovic sat in a wheelchair leading thousands of demonstrators through San Francisco. This account of two people in a grocery store actually happened. The soldier, weary from travel, came home 16 find a feeling of dismay on the homefront. Therightto protest in the United States is a fundamental and necessary component to the system of democracy in which we live. But we, as Americans, must realize that protestation can be more damaging to our soldiers than enemy fire. Ron Kovic, of all people, should realize this fact. When he left Vietnam with crippling injuries, he came home to rains of spit rather than confetti. In one of the San Francisco demonstrations, which he led two weeks ago, 1,000 protestors were arrested. In fact, more people were arrested during that demonstration than any S TAFF E DITORIAL PIONEER NEWSPAPER during the Vietnam War. Where were the protestors when Hussein forcefully took over Kuwait? In this action can truly be found a reason for protest: It is one thing to hold prayer vigils and tie a yellow ribbon for the troops oversees, it is another thing to clog the streets of a major city with unruly and completely counterproductive demonstrations. Nobody but a madman would revel in the muck of war. Unfortunately the world contains one such lunatic by the name of Saddam Hussein. His unprovoked attacks against Israel—a nation which originally chose to stay removed from the conflict—are nothing less than sadistic. Protestors tread heavily on the memory of those Israelis lost in senseless SCUD attacks. His dumping of millions of gallons of oil into the Persian Gulf is nothing less than environmental terrorism. Protestors do nothing but muddy the environment of global awareness by giving credence to a man who has little concern for the world around him. His occupation of Kuwait is nothing less than dictatorial. Protestors disregard therightof an oppressed nation to share the same freedoms of speech and protest that they are exercising. War did not push Hussein into performing these actions. He instigated them because he is sociopathic. Our soldiers are there to lessen a madman's control over an important corner of the world. Nobody dislikes war more than those who are employed by the government to fight i t When they come home from work they deserve to be treated to warmth and kindness and not to the unmeaningly cold messages of protestors. Those who fight Hussein in the Gulf may not be fighting a just war (since there is no such thing as a just war), but they are fighting a necessary war. Now more than ever they need our unflappable support. Hussein wishes for a disjointed America and tides of protestation bring waves of division. It must be remembered that the conflict in the Gulf is not a mirror image of Vietnam. This conflict is more akin to a war fifty years ago where another madman sought control of the world. Our soldiers then were treated with the respect they deserved and earned. Our soldiers now should receive the same treatment. If you want to rally against the soldiers overseas, then put your protest signs and your love beads in the back of your psychedelic VW van and groove on back to the 60s where your exploits will be appreciated. L etters t o t h e E ditor Students stress to President importance of their opinions Dear President Stacy: One of the things remembered from our orientation last summer is your explanation of how this university was going to be different. With you as its leader, CSUSM was going to develop into an institution where the students' interests came first; for, as you stated, without the students there would be no need for faculty and administration. The first day of classes began with instructors who were extremely enthusiastic about the different outlook that this administration had compared with what they had encountered at other colleges. Each professor emphasized the open policy where the student was of primary importance. As the semesterprogressed it was easy to see that indeed this was a different school. Classes became like families, with classmates quickly becoming as close as cousins. Each of the courses offered lively discussions where concepts were not only taught by the professors but discovered by the students as well. Sitting in the Student Lounge and listening to students from all fields of study, one never heard words of complaint about the quality of instruction. There were many complaints about too much homework, as would be expected, but there was no talk about not taking an instructor because he/she couldn't teach. CSUSM was developing into just the university you had predicted. It was a university where education and the student really mattered. As the semester drew to a close, we noted that some of our professors were not promoting their next semester's classes. When we asked what they would be teaching, we found that, since they were only part time, they didn't know if they would be back or not. Worried that the "powers that be" in the administration may not know how we students felt about our "temporary" professors, we made an appointment with the appropriate administrator to express our concern. We told that administrator that those part-time instructors were among the best that higher education had to offer. The administrator suggested that we send in L ETTERS W ELCOME PIONEER welcomes letters from readers regarding campus issues, articles written, or world-related affairs.

We were assured that these letters would be copied and seht to the offices of the people who made the choices of whether or not to retain the instructors. So we sent the letters. The next week evaluation sheets were sent to classes. There is little question that our instructors received glowing assessments. Can you imagine how shocked and let down we were to find that few of those tremendous instructors were returning? We recognize that it is the university's option to retain or dismiss part-time faculty, but we also feel that the opinions of the student population should be at least considered and not simply brushed aside. We feel impotent in our ability to help this college plant a solid foundation on which the education of generations to come will be built. We have great confidence that the new instructors chosen are of the utmost competence; however, we are reluctant to adopt them as our mentors if they are only to pass with the changing semesters. Dr. Stacy, we realize that you are not directly responsible for what has occurred, yet we send a plea to you, as this university's highest authority , to once again stress to your administrators the importance of student opinion and the tragedy which occurs when it is ignored. We only ask that the students' point of view be considered as much as it is at other institutions of higher education.

PST on January 16, America sat mesmerized as bombs began to drop on the Iraqi capital of Baghdad. The global community suddenly became smaller as Cable News Network brought the first live reports of the war in the Persian Gulf from Bernard Shaw, John Holliman and Peter Arnett. The world's first prime time war had begun. Pizza franchises yielded record delivery sales, and retail stores became like mortuaries as Americans gave the war the attention of a Super Bowl game. CNN rocketed to an 11 percent rating share (10.9 percentage points above regular ratings) and became the primary source of Gulf news'in an instant. Since the first bombs hit Iraq, the world waits with anxiety for the next moves in a multi-billion dollar game of chess. We've watched as SCUD missiles hit Tel Aviv, and Patriot missiles hit the SCUDS. We've seen pictures of battered and bruised hostages. We've witnessed an oil spill twelve times larger than that created in the Exxon Valdez accident and cheered as the source of the leakage was stopped. We've been stunned when Iraq took over the Saudi village of Khafji and our hearts grieved when 11 Camp Pendleton Marines lost their lives to friendly fire there. But most of all we've been confused. With the volumes of information about the war that comes daily, the public looks for some kind of order among the mayhem. What will happen next is anybody's guess, and nobody's knowledge.

The spill was eleven times larger than the 1989 spill created when the Exxon tanker, Valdez, hit a reef off the coast of Alaska. President Bush called the action by Hussein a "sick action from a desperate man," and pledged to halt the flow of oil into the gulf by using allied forces.

C HEMICAL W EAPONS Chemical weapons are considered the poor man's atom bomb. These deadly weapon systems can be constructed by many of the world's nations today. Theycan beplacedon 1960s-vintage missile, widely available on the arms market, in a chemical warhead made from readily available chemicals. There are severalchemicals used in warheads. Some of those chemicals and their reactions are listed below: • Cyanide and other blood agents: When inhaled, it blocks the blood's oxygen-carrying capacity. It can cause eye irritation, choking and sometimes death. • Chlorine and phosgene: These chemicals burn the lining of the lungs. When plasma leaks into the lungs from the bloodstream, victim's drown in their own fluids. • M ustard Gas and other Blistering Agents: Can cause vomiting, nausea, skin irritation and blistering, eye-irritation and short-term blindness. It can be lethal in large amounts. • Nerve Gas: Nerve gas can be inhaled or absorbed through the skin. It attacks the nervous system and is highly toxic; this gas can kill in 15 minutes. Total isolation from the chemical agent is the only protection. U.S. soldiers use a two piece suit with special boot covers and gloves. A chemical mask and hood are used to protect the head. Different kinds of masks are used in different nations, the U.S. military offers three different types: • M17 A1 is used by the infantry, it has small eyelets. The filter, inside the cheek pouch of the mask, is good for about 24 hours before filling with dust. • M43 is used in helicopters. It allows Apache pilots, in particular, to wear their special sighting system gear and the mask at the same time. The M43 also is attached to the ventilator which blows in fresh air. • M25 A1 is used by tanks and armored vehicles. It is similar to the M17 and is also connected to a breathing unit. It has a wider face cover than the M17 so that the vehicle operators have far better visibility. Ideally, masks are fitted to the individual wearer to avoid readjustment in the 13 seconds required for putting them on. Masks are put on like catchers' masks, then attached by four straps. A wearer needs to blow into the canister to clear it, then breathe normally. WE HAVE THE BEST FAKES EVERYWHERE! �ÄGDEN1university in sine J azz t rio k eeps PIONEER/TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1991 K ATHY SULLIVAN/PIONEER "Look at those guys! Haven't I seen them around campus somewhere?" No, your eyes are not misleading you, The Jazz group playing at noon in the Student Lounge today, is in fact made up of University students and employees. Bob Boss, John "Ironman" Harris and Gunnar B iggs make up the North County university community's own jazz trio. The members of the group have known each other for years throughout the jazz circuit, but had never played together as a group until they ran into each other on campus. The Uni versity Jazz Trio, so named in aSan Diego State University, North County newsletter, first came about when Biggs walked into the Aztec Shops last September and saw Boss and Harris working. "We have a trio right here," he exclaimed. Biggs approached the "powers that be" and and found them to be enthusiastic about the idea. Pat Hinkle came up with the sponsorship for the group and the University Jazz Trio was born. In fall they played the Student Lounge at the beginning of the semester and in the parking lot at end of the first semester's festivities. "Music is a combination of melody, harmony , and rhythm," disclosed Boss. "Jazz, first takes the melody which is whistleable, then adds harmony which colors it and gives it shape and last the rhythm which holds it all together." He went on to explain that jazz is made up of theme and development — tension and relief The University Jazz Trio, comprised of Gunnar Biggs (bass), John "Ironman" Harris (drums), and Bob Boss (guitar), play at fall's end of the semester celebration.

The Ironman, so called because he never misses a gig and knows every melody that was ever written, is planing to write a book about his experiences being a international jazz musician. Boss started to play guitar at age 12. Living in Berkeley gave him many opportunities to see his idols like the great Jimmy Hendricks and the Grateful Dead. When Hendricks was interviewed, the young Boss would listen; and when Hendricks said his idol was Jim Hall or John Caltran, Boss would search these out guitarists and emulate their styles. It wasn't long before he became interested in jazz guitar. He played in clubs and concerts while getting a Masters degree in Humanities at Chico State. Moving back to the Berkeley area after college, he made music his full time career. He preformed with Vince Wallace, Baomi and Smiley Winters, to name a few. His guitar is heard on an album with Ernie Mansfield. As a member of the Sherman Rubin Band, he backed several great jazz artists including Richie Cole, Red Rodney and Eddie Harris.

This one makes you think as well as entertains. 3 . 'Awakenings' The most unlikely combination of hyper-intense comic Robin Williams and very serious dramatic actor Robert DeNiro creates an emotional look at life—something we all take for granted. Williams should walk away with an Oscar this time for a convincing portrayal of a doctor so absorbed in his work that he almost missed out on what life's all about. 4.'Mountains of the Moon' This sweeping saga tells the true story of two explorers looking for the source of the Nile in deepest Africa. The film is notable for the brilliant performances of Patrick Bergin (soon to be seen with JuliaRoberts in 'Sleeping with the Enemy') andFiona Shaw. 5. 'Hamlet' Yes, i t's true. Mel Gibson can do Shakespeare. He's a riveting force as the self-destructive Hamlet. Glen Close, brilliant as usual, plays the role of his mother, Gertrude. 6 . 'Goodfellas' Mel Gibson as Hamlet. Ray Liotta puts in a strong performance in a movie that cuts so close to the heart of the Italian mafia that they took offense. JocPesci and Robert DeNiro also run away with their respective roles. 7. 'Ghost' This ultimate love story stars Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore with Whoopi Goldberg thrown in for comic relief. This film touched the heart of America in such a big way, it deserves mention. 8. 'Reversal of Fortune' Jeremy Irons is positively devious as the enigmatic Klaus von Bulow, who was acquitted of causing his wife's coma through an injection of insulin. Kudos to Run Silver as his defense attorney Who is not sure what to make of his weird client. 9. 'Presumed Innocent' Scott Turrow's novel is intelligently adapted to the screen for a look at a man's portrayal and the inner workings of politics in a district attorney's office. Harrison Ford is solid, but Bonnie Bedelia runs away with the movie as Ford's bitter wife. 10. 'Postcardsfrom the Edge' Carrie Fisher proves that she's not justanother Princess Leia. Her simple, but eloquent screenplay reveals Hollywood life through actress Suzanne Vale (Meryl Streep) and her famous singing mother (Shirley MacLaine).

O PINION/PAGE11 Paper vaulted to top t hree position in s tate SACRAMENTO - It was a weekend for underdogs when Cal State San Marcos' student newspaper, Pioneer, grabbed seven awards last weekend at the California InterCollegiate Press Association's 42nd annual statewide conference. The event marks the first time a delegation . of students from CSUSM has won awards in inter-collegiate competition. "We were stunned," said Pioneer Editorin-Chief Larry Boisjolie. "We really didn't expect to do that well." CIPA S tudent President TrishaReader said Pioneer's performance vaults the newspaper into one of the toplhree university weeklies in the state. Reader said over 2,000 entries were received from the various college publications in California. Boisjolie was one of five CSUSM delegates to attend the conference which hosted 23 universities, about 300 students from California and Nevada. Competitions and seminars were held for the print media, radio and television broadcasters. Competitions at the conference were divided into two categories. For the mail-in category, ubmissions were mailed in to CIPA three months before the conference f orjudging by experts in the field. Each newspaper was allowed two entries for each category, which gauged both written and artistic aspects of college newspapers. "Since we only had eight issues at the time KATHY SULLIVAN/PIONEER Pioneer co-founders, Larry Boisjolie and Jonathan Young, anxiously await the announcement of awards during the California Inter-Collegiate Press Association's 42nd annual statewide conference. of submission, we felt our chances were pretty slim of finding enough good material to compete with schools that have published all year," said Boisjolie. "We were also under the impression that only one entry per category could be submitted so we only sent in half of what the other colleges did." Pioneer picked up first place for best opinion section in the mail-in competition. Jonathan Young, co-founder of the newspaper, placed first in the overall design category and second in front page design. Boisjolie won second in the investigative news and editorial categories. The other category of competition is onthe-spot writing and designing. Participants are given a limited amount of time to write a story, edit copy, take photographs or design a front page. In the on-the-spot competitions, Young was awarded first place in page design while Debbie Duffy picked up a third place award for entertainment writing. Duffy was given one hour to write a critical review on an art gallery. Staff members Kathy Sullivan and Elaine Whaley also attended the conference. At the close of the conference, CSUSM was asked by Reader to host the statewide conference next year. CSUSM President Bill Stacy expressed interest in the proposal, however, Boisjolie said that the main factor deciding whether or not CSUSM will host the conference is finding space to accommodate the event's attenders.

College seeks candidates for first student council Cal State San Marcos' Student Governance Task Force is now looking for candidates wishing to form the university's first Associated Student Council. Ernest Zomalt, Dean of Student Services, said the council will comprised of a President, two representatives from each College, four undergraduates at-large and two post-baccalaureates at-large. These positions will form a representative model of government, established by the Task Force's AS Constitution. "We have an interesting government model," said Z omalt "It allows for one elected leader: President." The President's powers include being senior representative of the AS, presiding over AS Council meetings and recommending the appointment of all students to AS and university committees. The President does not vote, except to break a tie. The AS Council is charged with setting policies and procedures for the AS and obtaining and disseminating information which affects the AS and its members. Representatives from the specific colleges will be easier to obtain," he said. "The at-large students will be a little bit of a challenge." Elections Committee forming While seeking candidates to establish the first Associated Council at Cal State San Marcos, Student Services Dean Ernest Zomalt and the Student Governance Task Force are also establishing an Elections Committee. This group will set standards for campaigning, hold candidate forums, organize the election and be accountable for the tabulating the results. Zomalt also explained the committee will work with the three fee measures for the election. They will read the measures and make sure they are understandable. The Elections Committee will also tabulate the results of the Student Government Elections April 22-23. They will then forward to results to CSUSM President Bill Stacy. Once confirmed, the AS Council will take office the first Monday in June and establish CSUSM's first student government. Any student interested serving on this council should contact the Student Services office. According to Zomalt, the AS C onstitution's r equirements f or CSUSM'selected officers specify that a candidate be a "Member of the associated students and in good academic standing at the time of election and during tenure in office." Candidates can receive information regarding candidacy from the Student Services Office. Once candidates are acknowledged, Zomalt said the university will hold a candidate's forum before the elections on April 22-23. Originally scheduled for April 15-16, the elections have been postponed one week. SEE VOTE/PAGE 4 H ewlett-Packard f irst t o c ommit t o Senior Business P artners Program Hewlett-Packard has committed to become the first Senior Business Partner for CSU, San Marcos' new business outreach program. "The College of B usiness Administration is delighted to announce the decision of Hewlett-Packard to become our first Senior Business Partner," said Dean Bernard Hinton. "It is a great vote of confidence for our new Business Partners Program to see the community respond in the way that Hewlett-Packard has." The Senior Business Partners are the most advanced level of the fourlevel Business Partners Program recently introduced by the College of Business Administration. The program was design to forge a strong link between the university and the business community and to offer both individuals and organizations the opportunity to have a substantial impact upon the education of tomorrow's business leaders. "By stepping forward as the first participant in this program," Hinton said, "Hewlett-Packard has made a strong statement about their support for our efforts to provide a relevant educational experience for our students. "Their commitment, in becoming our partner in the educational process, not only encourages us, but also encourages other individuals and businesses to become involved as well." Hinton also announced that Larry Brown, General Manager of H P's San Diego Color Imaging Division, has been invited to become the first member of the College of Business Administration's Dean's Advisory Council. "Hewlett-Packard is pleased to support the CSU San Marcos Business Partners Program," Brown said. "In keeping with our corporate citizen objective, HP encourages its operations and employees to contribute their time, talent and financial support to organizations that benefit the communities win which we operate. We look forward to a productive partnership with CSUSM." "We look forward with great expectations to a very close working relationship with companies such as Hewlett-Packard and are delighted at their sense of corporate responsibility and willingness to work with us in accomplishing the mission of the college," Hinton said. The Business Mentors Program, which assigns each student in the College to a personal business mentor, in only one of the programs in the Business Partners Program. Other portions of the Business Partners Program include programs designed f or individual businessmen, small companies, and corporations. The university has indicated that it is prepared to send materials to anyone in the business community that is interested in learning more about the programs. �Exercising important for healthy diet plan What Tommy LaSorta and the makers of Slim-Fast, among many other makers of weight control products, forget to tell you in their ads is that you have to exercise to achieve safe and lasting weight loss.

SAN MARCOS BLVD., SAN MARCOS �6 PIONEER/TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 1991 NEWS I W E ART T HE CSUSM spurs largest development plan J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER any students attending the other 19 Cal State University campuses haven't heard of the new addition to their academic system. Even some local students and residents in San Marcos don't know of the new university here. But for the people who work for the city, Cal State San Marcos has been a main focal point for the community's future development and growth. The university has spurred a project entitled, 'Heart of the City,' an elaborate downtown plan revolving around the future college campus. "Thegenesisofthisprojectevolved before the CSU Trustees chose San Marcos," said Paul Malone, San Marcos Deputy City Manager. "The city made a conscious decision to go after Cal State San Marcos." Malone explained the city's strong desire to house the future educational institution, competing with neighboring Carlsbad for the state's attention. "We put together a package deal that the state couldn' t refuse," Malone said. The main anchor of the project came with the city's agreement to allow CSU officials to get directly involved with the design and organization of the p roject "The state had a huge say on land choices," Malone said. He said the site Carlsbad was offering was in a valley, an area hard to develop. San Marcos, in comparison, offered a large, open, fertile piece of land. CSU chose the Twin Oaks Valley Road and Barham Drive site, just off Highway 78, to corner the university. The site has freeway visibility, is centrally located in North County so San Diego and Orange County/Riverside residents have easy access along with local students, and is in the geographic center of San Marcos and North San Diego County. "San Marcos doesn't have a downtown," Malone said. "With 'Heart of the City,' we hope to create a central focus for the city with the university as the anchor of the p roject" With the surrounding zoning, Malone said the master plan would give travelers a certain feel for the area. " We'll establish a sense of place along highway 78," he said. " You're really going to know something is there." As the p roject continues, San Marcos routes all designs and plans through the university f or review. Conversely,CSUSM informs the city on all its construction matters. T he •Heart of the City' area encompass nearly 1,600 acres, less than half the acreage of the CSUSM permanent campus. With the university standing in the center, the boundaries go slightly past FIRST I N A SERIES the campus to the south and extend to San Marcos Boulevard on the opposite side of Highway 78 to the North. The zoning extends East to already developed commercial and residential sites and West to Discovery Street Two main developments accent the 'Heart of the City' project. A University Center will directly neighbor the college and a Civic Center, housing the c ity's government, will mirror the university on the opposite side of the freeway. "The Civic Center will have a vertical compliment to the university," Malone said, in reference to CSUSM's clock tower. SEE HEART/PAGE 7 �H eart V itals I The University The State of California has started a full-service university-level educational facility. Initial planning is for a two-year, upper-division and post-graduate studies facility transitioning to a full four-year campus. The campus master plan provides for the eventual development of a 35,000 student campus. Twin Oaks Valley work begins J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER The Civic Center The Civic Center will be a civic and cultural complex which will include: City Hall, conference center, cultural facilities, recreation center, commercial offices, a hotel, park and open space incorporating a major water feature. The City Hall complex design will give special consideration to the creation of a vertical focal point with high visibility from the freeway, to compliment the large clock tower at Cal State San MarcoS. The Business Park The business park will comprise of high tech/industrial/office parks in a master planned setting. Support commercial uses, such as hotels and health spas, would also be included. Land use within this designation shall be conducive to high quality uses. No driverthru facilities will be allowed. The Edmond J. Vadnais Corporation is the apparent low bidder in the $10 million construction project to widen Twin Oaks Valley Road and Barham drive to accommodate the future site of Cal State San Marcos. With a budget of $ 10.2 million, the city of San Marcos received the Vadnais bid of $7,370,403, the lowest out of nine interested companies. "We are happy," said Bob Rager, an estimator with the Solana Beach company. "Our company has worked with the city of San Marcos before.

The center will also include a Library, City Hall, Community Center, a theater and possibly retail offices, a hotel and housing. "If we lease some of this area to businesses, then it will pay for itself in the long run," Malone said. Koll Construction of San Marcos has won the city's approval to design this center. Out of several different companies, Koll submitted the best conceptual drawing for the center. The rendering included two plaza areas, one within a shopping district and the other among the governmental buildings. Koll is now working with that concept and with the city to design the final Town Center complex. The University Center, although not detailed in its design or arrangement at this time, will include a variety of different businesses. A San Marcos Chamber of Commerce flyer states: "The Corporate Park will allow research and development and light industrial uses as well as corporate headquarters complexes and potential hotel developments." Malone foresees most of the businesses being "Neighborhood Commercial," a term to describe companies that serve the everyday needs of an on-campus student Land has been reserved for two hotels, one in the Civic Center, and a site for Kaiser Permanente Hospital. These sites are considered''floating," not yet confirmed in location. This is just one j ob we wanted." The project will widen Twin Oaks Valley Road from Highway 78 to Barham Drive to eight lanes, where it will continue as a six lane road. Barham Drive, also planned for six lanes, will only be built as a five lane road at this point in the project's development The city still needs furtherrightof way to continue the expansion. Paul Malone, San Marcos Deputy City Manager, said the project will also include completion of the first 13-14 feet of the 50-foot-wide sidewalk. "Futuredevelopers will be required to install the second part of the walkway," Malone said. ' The specifics of that are written out for each parcel." Before Vadnais can be approved for the project, bonding must be approved and documents will be checked for mathematical and clerical errors. If the bid is not approved, it will be offered to the second lowest bidder, Cass Construction. Construction is expected to begin in May. "We' 11 work as quickly as we can," Malone said. "We'll definitely be done before the university is open." Scripps Memorial Hospital is planning to begin construction soon on a facility just on the west border of the 'Heart of the City' project at Discovery and San Marcos Blvd. A specific area of land, east of CSUSM, has also been reserved for an elementary school. A second school site is floating south-west of the university. making them visible from the freeway. "It'll be unrecognizable," Malone said, "design wise."

W E C ANT HOLD ferl BACK FOREVflU Future campus will be late, but final product worth wait As CSUSM has discovered, the need for a university in such a high-growth area is tremendous. Already the university has changed its plans for a student population in excess of 30,000 when the STAFF EDITORIAL campus is completed decades from now. Originally, the university expected a population of 25,000. In short, San Marcos got the project because of good planning. One needs only to take a look at other nearby universities to see what poor planning can do. San Diego State, for instance, is an architectural goulash that cannot nearly accommodate its rising population. The buildings are more a source of student stacking than community pride. At the University of California at San Diego there is no sense at all of a college community. Inside its vast acreage of buildings is an architecturally nice microcosm that does not in any way blend in with its surroundings. The college looks like an island amid an indifferent community. Even though many of the students now attending CSUSM won't be around to attend the finished campus, they can all More importantly, the campus and the City of San Marcos are look back at their alma mater with pride. In 1992 when the campus doesn't appear, the best advice prepared to accommodate the massive population that is expected in the future. According to last year's census, San Marcos is the fastest is to lug your books to your shopping center campus with the growing city_injhe county^ _ _„ __ ."'„'„, knowledge that the best is yet to come. In the wake of recent storms, drought problems and contractor disputes, Cal State San Marcos officials are hard-pressed to finish construction on their $650-700 million showcase campus by its fall 1992 scheduled openingxlate. Unfortunately, in the world of construction nothing ever goes as planned. Even though Campus Construction and Physical Planning still remains hopeful that the new university can be ready on time, they must seriously face the fact that space will be desperately needed to accommodate the anticipated flow of students to CSUSM when the campus doesn't magically appear. But future students need not despair. One glance at the plans of the future university and the college community concept of the4Heart of the City* project and it is evident that here is one good thing worth waiting for. Nowhere in the CSU system, the UC system or any other university system in this nation can be found such a remarkable symbiotic relationship as that which CSUSM and San Marcos share. When both the new campus and the 'Heart of the City' projects are completed, San Marcos will be magically transformed into a walkthrough Mediterranean village. If the plans are followed through and the project is not rushed, the result will be a showcase campus community. The whole concept can, in part, be credited to the city of San Marcos, which at great expense, put forth a plan that the college couldn't refuse. They offered to widen roads to eight lanes and construct a major community center which reflects the style of the campus. OUR VIEWS P IONEER /TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 1991 Republicans lack insight into key domestic issues As a culture and a nation of people, Americans are known for their impatience with problem solving. That is one good reason, for instance, why the Gulf War' s success was greeted with euphoria. A protracted conflict, while plausible, would have paid far less political dividends to the Republicans. This fact, coupled with the Democrats' apparent impotence at finding a viable leadership figure, poises the GOP for enormous domination during the next decade of public policy making. Only history will judge the prudence of a Republican-forged agenda that will inevitably usher in the next century. In other words, a window of oppor- DAVID HAMMOND tunity this deep and wide—literPIONEER COLUMNIST ally a time to dictate the nation's long-term goals—can end up tragically neglected if harnessed to short-term planning. Particularly in areas of domestic policy, the standard Republican party reliance on market forces has proven to be as void of sophistication as the liberal Democratic allegiance to the Great Society mythology. As far back as Eisenhower's reluctance to endorse school desegregation in Little Rock, Arkansas, and extending to the veto of the Civil Rights Act of 1990, the GOP's proactivity in championing the poor has been sheer inactivity. President Bush has even stated his preference for foreign affairs. This attitude is to be expected: foreign policy permits quick, noble, dramatic scenes, like the eviction of Iraq from Kuwait. Domestic problems, on the other hand, offer no euphoric conclusions, have less direct impact on the wealthy, and tend to be unresponsive to short-term solutions. Hence, the GOP is hardly concerned with forging better domestic policy when the bird of political dominance is well in hand anyway. As stated, the bad news for the country will be evident a decade or so from now, when we are paying, more than ever, for the lack of domestic problem solving. The detriments will be widespread across all the areas of Republican indifference: the environment, education, health care, and race relations. Sadly, seizing this moment, and making great history, are unnecessary to achieving the short-term goal of reelection. A less disastrous outlook features democrats finding an outside, untested candidate. This powerful, unusual nominee would be able to articulate the liberals' last vestige government as social healer - while embracing America's renewed faith in a strong military presence. Virtually the only bearer of these standards is Gen. Colin Powell, the Chariman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. While Gen. Powell is politically balanced in his advocacy of both affirmative action and military adequacy, interested supporters will have to overcome one obstacle: he hates politics. On the other hand, so did two other Generals-turned-President: Washington and Eisenhower. �Campus reacts to ROTC action Editorial insensitive P IONEER 250-2 S.

MARK TWAIN I was at the Feb. 28/March 1 meeting of the Statewide Academic Senate that voted to urge CSU campuses to eliminate ROTC programs until the Department of Defense ends its discrimination against gays and lesbians. I am one of the two senators from San Marcos to sit in the Academic Senate: I voted for the resolution and I am proud of it It is true that a ban on ROTC will disadvantage low-income students in the CSU: certainly one of the few ways which our government chooses to support either education or economic mobility in our society through the military. But the editors of the Pioneer should not blame the Academic Senate for this state of affairs; rather the Pioneer should put the blame squarely where it belongs - on the Department of Defense. I can assure you that the day the DOD rescinds its ban on homosexuals in the military, I will vote to restore ROTC programs on CSU campuses. Despite disclaimers, the Pioneer's editorial is homophobic. I fail to understand what besides their homosexuality disqualifies these men and women from serving their country. How can someone suggest that gays and lesbians are not people of the "highest moral character" and not be a homophobe? Does the Pioneer really believe that the high moral character is a litmus test for enlistment? If so, can the Pioneer assure me that the U.S. military screens out tax cheats, adulterers, spouse and/or child abusers, alcoholics and/or drug users and overly aggressive, violent personalities from its ranks with the same relish that it goes after homosexuals? The Pioneer i s wrong. There are gays and lesbians in the military: lots of them. And they serve alongside their comrades with a minimum of conflict and with great distinction. Let me tell the Pioneer's readers about one such soldier. Perry Watkins served in the army for 16 years as an openly gay man. He received the highest possible evaluations until he was unceremoniously discharged. An appeals court ordered him reinstated on the grounds that the Army had no right to discharge Mr. Watkins since it had repeatedly allowed him to re-enlist even though it knew he was gay: last year the U.S. Supreme Court let the ruling stand. Today thousands of homosexual soldiers, sailors, marines and air force personnel are serving in Saudi Arabia/Kuwait Some have been told that they face discharge after they return from the war. The military has told them, in effect, that they can serve their country in war time, that they can die for their country, but that they are not good enough to serve it in peacetime. Where is the fairness in the military's behavior? I c an't see i t Just as I c an't see as fair a military sponsored educational program that asks the CSU to grant academic credit for "military science" subjects and then limit access to that program by discriminating against homosexuals and anyone who has harbored a homosexual thought. That* right The military asks ROTC candidates to sign a statement declaring that they are not homosexuals and that YOUR VIEWS STUDENT FORUM they have never entertained homosexual ideas. That's a standard that few of us could m eet Is thq Pioneer suggesting that people lie in order to become "spotless examples o f... social morality?" So get off the Academic Senate's back, Pioneer. If you really care about restoring access to educational benefits for disadvantaged students, then write the Department of Defense, your congressional representatives, even the President and tell them that you want them to end their discrimination against the fine young gay and lesbian students who want to serve their country and to get access to those same educational benefits. You wouldn't tolerate them discriminating against racial or religious minorities and you c an't tolerate them discriminating against a minority whose sexual orientation is not yours. P ATRICIA S . SELESKI/ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF HISTORY and CSUSM STATEWIDE ACADEMIC SENATOR ROTC needs support There has been many opinions in \hcPioneer which I did not agree with, but I chose not to respond to them in the "Your Views" section because I did not feel strongly enough about a particular story or opinion to respond with a written rebuttal. But, I have changed my position about not responding because of one story that was printed in the Pioneer on March 19 of this year. The story that I am speaking about, is the CSU Academic Senate calling for a systemwide ban of ROTC because ROTC discriminates against homosexuals. When the CSU Academic Senate passed the resolution on March 1, they stated, "the ROTC SHARE Y OUR V IEWS ... of campus and world issues by writting a Letter to the Editor. Submit letters in Pioneer's mailbox in the Student Services Office. program's discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is a violation of basic human rights and inimical to the values of the university, and is a violation of non-discrimination policy for the CSU system," as reported in the Pioneer. The first question that must be asked: Is ROTC violating the basic human rights of certain students? I believe that the ROTC is not violating any humanrightsbecause ROTC is not essential for an individual's existence. The second question that must be asked: IS ROTC violating the values of the University? I believe it is not violating the values of the university because the university's values should parallel the values of the Judeo-Christian ethic, but if the university's values allow for the deviant behavior of some, then I must agree with the CSU Academic Senate that ROTC violates the university's values. Everyone remembers the speedy victory of our troops in the Persian Gulf against Saddam Hussein. Where did the military get most of its officers? The military got most of their officers from the ROTC programs run by the Army, Navy and Air Force. I believe ROTC is essential for the recruitment and training for the future officers thatfillthe positions in the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps. Therefore, the ROTC is an investment in the young people of today and the national security of tomorrow. The CSU Academic Senate claims that the ROTC is discriminating against homosexuals. But, if the CSU Academic Senate gets its way on the ROTC issue, then the Academic Senate is also guilty of discrimination. They would be infringing on the rights of students because students interested in participating in ROTC would not have the opportunity to do so. L et's say, for the sake of argument, that a student who has a limited income chooses to participate in ROTC and then suddenly the ROTC program is expelled from the CSU campuses. Then the student has to attend an expensive private university to participate in the ROTC program, or has to withdraw from the CSU because he or she cannot afford school without the ROTC scholarship. Does the CSU Academic Senate want to be responsible for the withdrawal of tens of hundreds of students because they have to impose their beliefs of individuals who pay their salaries and for their facilities in which they do their research to further their careers and their academic reputation? I call on the students of CSU San Marcos to reject this feeble-minded resolutions from the CSU Academic Senate because i t's an attempt by the CSU Academic Senate to impose their ultra-liberal views on us as students and on our institutions in which we fund and control as citizens of the state of California. Furthermore, if the CSU chooses to expel ROTC from the campuses, then they should expect lobbying of state and federal legislators to create abill which cuts off all federal and state funds to the CSU system, and heavily tax any gifts that the CSU receives. W ILLIAM R . C HRISTENSEN 11/ CSUSM STUDENT �12 ACCENT P IONEER /TUESDAY, A PRIL 2, 1991 Play shows m eeting o f b lack l eaders J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER Without a theater or even any type of performing arts department, Cal State San Marcos will hold its first theatrical performance this Sunday with a presentation of 'The Meeting,' a one-act play. CSUSM's StudentLounge, aroom where everything from orientations to conceits are held, will be transformed to resemble a Harlem hotel room, the set for 'The Meeting.' "We've rented three sets of staging; the rest would have to be done with imagination," said Donald Funes, Liberal Arts Dean. " It's radio for the eyes." The simple set allows for the meeting of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X. The two leaders engage in an arm-wrestling challenge. " It's based on three arm-wrestling games that Martin Luther King and Malcolm X have," Funes said. "King wins one, Malcolm wins the other and they tie the last. It signifies what would happen if they were working together." Funes said the one-act play is an Rocky and Bullwinkle stab a t conventionalit When I was a kid I was told by my mom that brussels sprouts (the bane of all children) were only tiny cabbages. I suddenly developed a hate for cab. As I grew older, I found that really isn't so bad. Even brussels sprouts, when smothered in cheese sauce, are mostly edible. The same thing goes «for'The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.' When I was a kid, the shoddy animation and corny dialogue of the program always inspired me to switch the channel to Bugs Bunny, or even — gag — Felix the Cat. As an adult, however, I am forced to reevaluate my position. Sure the dialogue is still corny the animation still stinks, but now see things in the cartoon that slipped by my younger mind. Hidden among the terrible puns, the script constantly smacks the establishment alongside the head. We know the heroes: there's the whimpy flying squirrel, Rocky, and the lanky, dull-witted moose Bullwinkle. Together they haplessly fall into adventure after adventure. Neither of our two protagonists seems to be particularly heroic, but the two make a likeable duo. ^ Xhe villains are two putzes from PotsylvaniayBoris B^ronofT and Natasha. If you liked Gold War politics, you'll love these two numskulls, VIDEO REWIND BY S H E I L A COSGROVE Of course Rocky and Bullwinkle always end up victorious over their arch-rivals, but it isn't because of their massive intellects. They win in the end simply because we expect them to, and survive the most harrowing cliffhangers ever devised in cartoonville. The best part about the cartoon is the sharp witted script which stabs at everything from smog to television. The show even mocks itself at times. In one scene, Boris and Natasha are off to get an A-bomb to destroy our heroes. Bullwinkle makes the observation that, "A-bomb is what some people will call our program." In between spurts of RockyBullwinkle storyline are regular short skits in the program. One such short is 'Fractured Fairy Tales.' As you probably guessed, 'Fractured Fairy Tales' gives nice malignant twists to classic childhood stories. One episode has a wolf who is trying to kick the habit of eating Little Red Riding Hoods. Of course the wolf gets thrashed by both Little Red Riding Hood and her meek grandma. I won't tell you the ending, but suffice to say that nobody lives happily ever after. History isn't even safe from the satirical barbs of 'The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.' In 'Improbable History,' Mr. Peabody, the supergenius dog, and his nerdy friend SEE VIDEO/PAGE H q ^ Z essay about the political and spiritual beliefs Malcolm X and Martin Luther King had about how to reverse the tide of discrimination. The performers are with the Orange County Black Actors Theater. They include Bingwa, Curtis Thomas and Caril Gillard. Adaline Hunter is the director. "This is a total professional com- pany," Funes said. Performance starts at 7 p.m. on April 7 and will last about an hour. There is no charge, but Funes points out that there is limited seating. " It's first come, first serve," Funes said. The newly formed CSUSM history club is helping transform the lounge into a theater. The Rivals' absorbs audience in two acts D EBBIE PUFFY/PIONEER Rivaling most any otherplay, ' The Rivals' is an intimate, delicate presentation of the trials and tribulations of love which absorbs and includes the audience so well, that everyone in the theater is involved in the plot, the setting and the ending. Set in 18th-century Charleston, South Carolina, ' The Rivals' i satwoact play. The story begins with three rivals, Jack Hosdiate, Sir Lucius O'Trigger and Bob Acres, who are all after the hand of Lydia Lanquish, the heroine played by Cynthia Peters. Servants, aunts, fathers, friends, and enemies keep the true hero from getting to Languish, which makes the play both hysterical and entertaining. One would think the Old English dialogue in the play would be difficult to understand; however, the acting and stage directing is so nearly perfect that the language is never a barrier to overcome for the audience. The viewers seem to understand every gibe and satirical remark. The actors are witty and charming, with gestures and facial expressions that personify specific characters on the stage. Bob Acres, for example, is the perfect country bumpkin trying to capture the alluring Lydia Languish by portraying himself as a "country gentleman." Acres, played by Andy Wynn, thinks that by changing his clothes and the furniture in his house, SEE R IVALS /PAGE 15 �TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 1991/PIONEER ACCENT 13 On C ampus American Indian Cultural Fair: Co-sponsored by Cal State San Marcos and SDSU North County, this annual festival will be April 13 from noon to 8 p.m. at the Red Barn, 149 East San Marcos Blvd. This special event will feature the Alaska Ku-Tee-Ya Dancers, Kumeyaay Bird Dancers, Luiseño Singers of San Diego County, San Diego InterTribal Drum and Dancers, American Indian Storytellers, Pageant of Traditional Dress and Adornment and more.

When entering the theater itself, however, you can sense the intimacy that is within, which is partly because of the theater-in-the-round setting. The theatre-in-the-round is difficult to direct because not only is there an audience on all four sides of the stage, but there is the change of props between acts seen in front of the entire theatre audience; there is no curtain here. Because of this stage set-up, the audience always knows when the scenes change. The cast combats this inconvenience by having the servant characters rotate the stage to a different position, depending on the scene. This way, viewers on all sides of the theater are able to see actors and the stage from every angle. Lamb's Players Theatre, San Diego's only year-round professional acting ensemble, has set its 1991 season of production. After opening this year's season with 'The Rivals,' the Players will present 'The Boys Next Door,' by Tom Griffin. Arnold, Lucien, Norman and Barry are the most unique bunch of neighbors you could ever ask for - golf pro, expert on Russian, doughnut king and conqueror of rodents - but i t's best not to be fooled by these characters' appearances. This off-Broadway hit will bounce you from laughter to tears and back. T he Boys Next D oor' runs April 19 through May 25. 'The Trip to Bountiful,' June 14 through July 20, is Horton Foote's delicate Southern Portrait of Carrie Watts who longs to visit the little rural town where she grew up, whether or not her family thinks it best. They say you can never go home again, but sometimes i t's the journey that matters. Aug. 9 through Sept. 14 brings 'Traveler in the Dark.' Even the most firmly held convictions can be shaken by the loss of a friend or the questions of a 12-year-old. This is Marsha Norman's fascinating contemporary exploration of the boundaries of thé mind and reaches of the heart. Closing the 1991 season is 'Quilters,' the award-winning musical by M olly N ewman and B arbara Damashek. 'Quilters' is a celebration of the pioneer spirit of the everyday, extraordinary women who helped settle the West. Performances are O ct 4 through Nov. 16.

Protestors demand change BY CHEZARE MILO Pride Staff Writer Protests on campus erupted as students sought to give voice to ongoing issues they feel are being ignored by CSUSM administrators and staff. Student Claude Sayf rallied a group of students on November 9 who were upset about remarks university spokesperson Paige Jennings made regarding the arrest of Jason Williams and larger issues of racial profiling. Jennings is quoted in the November 5 edition of the North County Times saying, "William's race was not a factor in the incident," About 30 students walked to Jennings's office to confront her. "You released a statement to the North County Times talkSee PROTESTS * page 3 Financial Aid woes Problems getting financial assistance plague some students BY HEATHER HOFFMANN Pride Staff Writer Students joined together to have their voices heard when they marched to CSUSM President Karen Haynes' office on November 10, and remained there until they could see the president. Approximately 24 students waited in the boardroom adjacent to the president's office and when Haynes arrived the group presented her with a letter expressing their concerns. The letter was presented to Haynes by Progressive Activist Network (PAN) President, Julie Bennington, and it expressed frustration regarding Haynes' inaccessibility and lack of support for students. Students chose to stand quietly around the President Haynes listens to student concerns. VOL. XII NO. 12 As if juggling school, work, homework, and family isn't hard enough, many CSUSM students also worry how they'll pay for tuition next semester. The financial aid office in Craven Hall 4204 is set up to help students getfinancialassistance, but for some students it actually provides more headaches than money. Financial aid paperwork is extensive and once it's complete there is no guarantee financial aid will be provided. If a student is granted financial aid there is no guarantee the funding will sustain them until graduation. "I was supposed to graduate next December. A month ago I got a letter from Cal Grant saying this was my last year on financial aid," said student Diane Gallego. Gallego, taking 12 units each semester, has made the dean's list while working part time to support her family. In terms of completed units, she currently stands somewhere between a junior and a senior. The Cal Grant is only good for four years, but Gallago has about another year until graduation. "I don't know what I'm going to do next semester," said Gallago. Augusta Fruzyna has a different problem with financial aid. She takes advantage of a veteran's grant, however she lost her grant because she made too much money at work. "It's a lose/win situation. I don't make enough money to live comfortably, but then if I make enough See AID, page 3 INSIDE News Photo by Heather Hoffmann / The Pride Campus groups gather for peace BY HEATHER HOFFMANN Pride Staff Writer Peace was celebrated at CSUSM—in spite of several obstacles—when PAN and the College Democrats hosted the first annual Peace Picnic on the lawn in front of the library on November 10. Student groups such as, College Democrats, PAN, Woman's Studies Student Association (WSSA), Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender Alliance (L.G.B.T), and the College Republicans.all set up tables at the eVent àlòng with community groups such as Code Pink and San Diego Coalition of Peace and Justice to provide students with more information on ways to promote peace. The groups also provided speakers. "The picnic was an effort to embrace peace and equality in our diversity," said Sarah Leonard of PAN.

The letter also addressed students' concerns about the forum held regarding policing practices on campus held on November 4, which Haynes was scheduled to attend. Haynes stated that the "circumstances of the forum President Haynes changed" switching from a forum, to a discussion of an "incident-specific event" and that is why she could not attend. The students said that Haynes' staff gave them several contradictory reasons why Haynes wasn't there. They said that someone representing Haynes should have attended. "If you support my experience, then you need to listen to my experience and that is not what's happening," said Honey Folk, student and former ASI President. "My concerns are to be concerned about the issues and safety of students, and to also protect their rights and protect the rights of all employees. [Campus] Police are employees in the University and I have to guard against them being prejudged," said Haynes. Another issue the letter C 4 i l K I * !trit\0<k fM ^"Kiiiiiii» ^«iriP*» NOW addressed was that students have a hard time successfully booking appointments with the President. "Students realize that we don't have to sit back and take it. We don't have to wait around for her to decide it's a good time to meet," said Bennington. "We have valid questions." The students and Haynes discussed several ways to fix the problem, one of which was a form students can fill out to help schedule meetings more effectively. The students and the Haynes agreed to have a meeting about how to meet, and then to meet on the issues. When the discussion was finished Haynes thanked everyone for sharing before leaving for another appointment. "I think what we had to say was effective in that we were heard, but not so effective in the sense that we didn't get a good answer" said Bennington. "We will definitely follow up." HIRING!!!

Having over 300 veterans that attend CSUSM, and many more eligible for veterans' grants through family members, Fruzyna isn't the only one who struggles to balance personal income and qualifying for government aid. Student Elsie Solis is frustrated with the process. Despite being financially independent of her family, she still finds it difficult to get grants. "I signed up early but still didn't get the grant because my parents made too much money. But I'm 23 and I'm not a part of [dependent on] them anymore. But they (financial aid) said until your 24 you're still a part of [dependent on] them," said Solis. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) considers students dependants of their families until they are 24, or married, or are working on their masters/doctoral, or they have a child that they support. "It's not something we get kicks out of either, it's a Congress thing. Write to your Congress. They feel it's the family's responsibility until the student is that specific age," said Cynthia Silman of the financial aid office in response to Solis' concerns. "If a student feels they have special circumstances to their dependency level they can check on the dependency override," said Silman. Dependency override is determined at the campus level. "We need to look at the specific situation. There are only a few grants and scholarships that are specifically four years," said Silman in response to student concerns about four-year loans. Solis said that loans are readily available, citing the fact that the government gives CSUSM students about, "$22 million a year in loans." More information about loans, grants or other financial aid can be found at the Financial Aid Office website at: http:// www.csusm.edu/finaid/ or at the FAFSA website: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/. ing about how there is no racial profiling going on," said Sayf. "Yes they quoted me. The comment I made was that according to the police officers I talked with, this was not a case of racial profiling," Jennings said to the group. Student Honey Folk asked Jennings if the university was asking the newspaper to run a correction. In response, Jennings said that she wasn't misquoted. "It was part of a quote. I did say yes, this was not...," said Jennings stopping mid-sentence. After a brief pause, Jennings reiterated that her quote was based on information she received from the Cal State San Marcos Police Department. "The President [Haynes] sent out an email saying we should not make judgments about what happened without all the information. You represented to the Spring registration i n progress Tuesday, November 16 2004 newspaper that there is no problem here. That is not true," said Sayf. According to Sayf, who compared student demographic information obtained from the CSUSM website along with demographic arrest information obtained from the CSUSM Police Department website, "twice the percentage of black and twice the percentage of Latinos" were arrested by Campus Police than the percentage of these students on campus. CSUSM Director of Communications Rick Moore said that comparing arrest and demographic data doesn't account for "a lot of people who come to campus that are not students." Several students said that campus visitors were not numerous enough to account for the statistics. "The people who read the story are now getting the impression that his [Williams] race did not enter into the picture, and we know that to be false," said Folk. "And let the record show brothers and sisters, we will not stand for it any longer," added Sayf. The group left Jennings office. Outside of Craven Hall Sayf said, "There is only one way we can all make a difference and that's together." On November 11 a group of students gathered in ACD 402 to write letters to CSUSM Police Chief Tom Schultheis demanding an investigation into campus police practices, and that charges against Jason Williams be dropped. Shortly after noon some 30 students marched from the classroom to the police department to deliver the letters chanting, "Investigate the campus police. Stop the harassment. Bring the peace," briefly along the way. The marchers gathered single-file outside the police department and delivered their letters one-by-one to police dispatcher John Frawley who said he would niake sure the chief got them. PEACE, from page 1 could come." The picnic was originally scheduled to happen before the election, but because organizers invited congressional candidates to speak, it was seen as political and too high risk. Risk management asked the student organizations to obtain special event insurance (at a cost of about $400) which they attempted to get, but were denied because the event was seen as high risk. The administration then gave the organizers another option; hire a campus police officer to guard the event. "Walls-were put up in front of us when we tried to plan this event," said Mark Web of the College Democrats. "The administration is doing the students on this campus a disservice when they try to stop student originations from trying to have a platform to discuss different ideas." "It sends a message to the students when we have to have a police officer with a gun at our peace picnic," said Sarah Leonard. Rain also delayed the event but Thursday the weather cooperated and the picnic went on as planned. There was BBQ to feed hungry students and plenty of guest speakers all spreading the same message: peace. "This is unbelievable, awesome. I am so excited to see our little university doing Photo by Heather Hoffmann / The Pride Lanysha Adams addresses the crowd at the Peace Picnic. something," said Communication major Brandi Feston. "I wish more people were here, this event really opens your eyes." Francine Busby, former congressional candidate, spoke about peace and gave students ideas on how they could become peacemakers. "Each one of us is a peacemaker, and each one of us has to smile at someone everyday.. .peace is something we have to work for," said Busby. Communication major Jason Williams shared a personal story and then told students, "We are not here to be closedminded individuals...we as students have the power to change the country." Executive Director of the College Republicans, Nick Bonomi, offered a different perspective when he spoke on peace as a Republican JZju^^ "The Republican party fights for peace too," he said "they just don't go about it the way you do." Members of the International Club spoke and read definitions of peace from around the world. "Peace is to live in harmony among differences," read the definition from Argentina. A1 Howard from the K23 orchestra preformed spoken word poetry, and Julie Bennington, PAN's President, sang a song she wrote. "I feel learning is just not enough, learning about peace is a great start, but what are we going to do after that," said Heidi Doyle of WSSA. "I am grateful for PAN and WSSA for getting students to be activists."

Turns out your water bottle is headed for one hell of a journey. The journey begins when CSUSM's Blue Team is responsible for emptying and sorting of the campus recycling bins. According to the CSIJSM Recycling Green Team's Mui Sullivan, "Blue Team members (from CSUSM's facilities department) haul the larger wheeled bins to the recycling sorting area located behind the Science II building." The Blue Team corrects any errors students might make while recycling—such as accidentally putting a glass bottle into the plastic recycling bin, or vice v e r s a removing garbage from the recycling containers and preparing the recyclables for pick up by EDCO whenever the bins are filled. "EDCO is on an on-call basis," said Sullivan. "Since the campus population varies throughout the year, it makes more sense for us than having a regular pick up schedule." When asked if trash in the recycling bins was a big problem for the Blue Team, Sullivan didn't think so. "Once in a while we find a napkin or something in a recycling bin, but I think the percentage of garbage found in the recycling bins is very small," said Sulli- van. EDCO hauls the recyclables to its Escondido sorting facility, where plastic bottles are separated from the aluminum, and each other. EDCO spokesperson George Peterson said, "Each bin picked up from CSUSM is spread across a large conveyor belt where it is manually sorted." Each type of plastic follows a different path to be recycled: PET from water bottles will be remanufactured into assorted polyester products such as fiberfill, clothing, carpet, and HDPE from milk jugs will become plastic lumber products, recycling and compost bins. EDCO compresses the PET plastic water and soda bottles into pallet-size bundles, which are sold on the open market to manufacturers like Mohawk Industries in Summerville, Georgia. Mohawk spokesperson Roone Gable was proud of his company's achievements in PET plastic recycling. "Mohawk Industries is the world's largest floor covering company, and our polyester division is the largest user of postconsumer recycled PET plastics in the world," said Gable. Gable went on to say that Mohawk uses 220 million pounds of post-consumer recycled PET plastic per year. "It takes fifteen bottles to make one pound of carpet; you can imagine how many billions of bottles we're responsible for recycling each year," Gable continued. When asked whether Mohawk was able to acquire as many recyclable bottles as needed, Gable was pensive. "There is defi- i Photo illustrations by Jason Encabo / The Pride nitely a greater demand than supply, which is going to make continuing the manufacture of products like ours difficult; prices for post-consumer recycled PET plastic are at the high end right now," Gable said. Currently US consumers recycle approximately 36 percent of PET plastic beverage containers. Thefinalstop for thisincarnation of your plastic water bottle may be the carpet under your feet. San Marcos carpet retailer West Coast Flooring sells all of Mohawk Industries 100 percent post-consumer recycled PET plastic polyester carpets, which can be ordered through their showroom. According to the EPA, carpets made of recycled PET plastic tend to be more stainresistant than other fibers. If you thought your plastic water bottle came back as a plastic water bottle, you're not alone. In fact plastic water bottles can't be made from plastic water bottles. It's too costly to disinfect the plastic for that purpose; Coca-Cola tried for two years and it wasn't cost effective. So next time you shove your bottle through that rubber slot, be nice. Your bottle has a long, long way to go. PCSD PSYCHIATRIC CENTERS AT SAN DIEGO Depressed? Sad? Holiday Blues? Help is just down the street...

"There is nothing like hands-on experience and applying what I have learned at CSUSM with real life situations," said Teri Renner, human development senior. "Plus an internship looks fantastic on your resume." Randi Delenela, CSUSM sociology alumnus said, "On my quest for looking for a job, all employers that I have talked to want information on my experience. So I tell them about my duties and responsibilities at my internship. So far, the results of my job hunt look promising." The only down side of taking on an internship is that students have to work a minimum of 15 hours a week and the internship must be non-paid to receive academic credit. Yet, after it is all said and done, the attractiveness of an internship may give students that extra umph needed to impress employers.

Maybe you can explain it to me, but why is everyone always trying to be something they aren't? I run into people everyday of my life pretending to be someone else. There is nothing more annoying in my eyes than when people kid themselves into being someone they aren't. Athletes have spent years trying to perfect their game yet for some reason they think they can start rapping or acting on the drop of a basketball. I finally lost my sanity with these wannabe American Idol's when I heard that Ron Artest of the Indiana Pacers just made a rap album and now he is out pro- moting it for its November 23 release. Artest has become so consumed with the promotion of his album that he has caused himself extreme exhaustion. He has been so exhausted that he requested a month off from the team so he could rest up. When I heard the news of his request I thought to myself, "Who does this guy think he is?" I mean the NBA season just started and he wants to take time off from his job that he has for only 7 months out of the year so that he can go participate in an extra curricular activity. The Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle didn't take to kindly to the request of Artest and Carlisle benched Artest for 2 games and told him he had to come back and play after the punishment. As I use my magical sports mind and look into the future I can tell you right now that none of his songs will be Grammy worthy because there is a reason why he shoots baskets and not flows. I mean how many athletes have platinum selling records? He won't be the first athlete to be a bust when trying a ng ture.

I am also a student here at Cal State San Marcos on the brink of graduating with my bachelor's degree in History, specifically American History with an emphasis on the American Indian experience. I am not of Native blood; in fact, I am of Irish, English, German, and Norwegian descent. I attended Palomar College after high school to pursue a career in fashion design. The classes I wanted were unavailable and so on a whim I took a class in archaeology and a class in American Indian studies. My life, who I am today and who I will become, began that semester. While working toward my associate's degree in archaeology^ met many wonderful people of American Indian descent. They were kind enough to share their experiences, beliefs, opinions, and laughter with me, giving me a perspective of the Native American community that could never be gleaned from the pages of academia. Upon transferring to Cal State San Marcos, I heard of the American Indian Student Alliance (AISA). I met some students who were members of this club in one of my American Indian History classes and thought that it would be interesting t a join and meet people of American Indian descent who were my own age so that we could discuss contemporary Indian issues. I thought that maybe I could help bridge the gap between archaeologists and Native Americans by answering questions that they may have had regarding archaeology, and by asking questions regarding their feelings of archaeology. The gift I received by joining AISA was much more than I could have ever realized. I was honored to assist in the hosting of the Cal State San Marcos Tukwut Powwow for two years, an event that was hosted by AISA in association with CSUSM faculty and staff for 11 years. A powwow is a traditional gathering of people from many diverse American Indian nations to celebrate life and pray for the sick or the deceased. Drum groups and bird singers give the gift of music, dancers in regalia dance for prayer or for competition, modern traditional Native American food such as fry bread is available for sampling, and arts and crafts by Native American vendors can be purchased. The powwow at Cal State San Marcos was a spiritual as well as an educational gathering. It brought the campus community (comprised mostly of non-native students, faculty, and staff) together with the American Indian community. The Cal State San Marcos powwow had become so renowned through the years that Native people from all over the United States also participated in the event. Atfirst,I thought I would simply help pick up trash at the event, but mostly just sit back and enjoy the atmosphere of the powwow. However, it became evident quite quickly that this event was one of the most difficult campus events to host, and a 110% participation of all members of AISA and the powwow committee was vital. The bureaucratic red-tape necessary to host this event was enough to drown a nuclear-powered submarine. The cultural intricacies needed to be practiced in order to invite members of the Native American community were intimidating and conflicted with the bureaucratic methods employed by the university. There was never enough money, there were never enough volunteers, and there was a lot of sweat and a lot of tears. The stress was nauseating. The powwow would get started sometime around 10 am on Saturday, the first weekend of October, and fingers would be crossed. The host southern drum group would begin to sing blessing songs as people of all ethnicities started to gather on the soccer field turned powwow arena. Small problems would arise, but with so many brilliant minds gathered in one place a solution would be found promptly and to the liking of all parties involved. Burning sage and fry bread could be smelled, smiles could be seen, laughter could be heard, and tears of pride and tears for those unable to share in this event because of war or death could be f elt People caught up on each other's recent activities, gossip was exchanged, and American Indian culture was taught and discussed to those who had never experienced a powwow before. By the end of the weekend, the exhausted, aching bodies of the volunteers, the dancers, and the vendors were of no significance; for the hearts of all powwow participants had beenfilledto capacity with beautiful memories, new understandings, and pride. These were the gifts that AISA gave to me. I take these gifts of knowledge, of friendship and community, of strength and pride, and of laughter with me as I get ready to leave this university. I know that my life is wealthier from the experiences I have been honored to share with the members of AISA, the members of the powwow committees, and the powwow participants. I have hope that the campus community, namely students of both Native and nonnative descent, and the local Native American community will work together to gather on campus again for the education and the preservation of the American Indian experience. A couple of weeks ago I read something that said, "Why do we terrorize people to show people that terrorizing people is wrong?" Think about it. Here we are as Americans, being the huge hypocrites we all are, justifying the war in Iraq for our security and for our benefit. How nonsensical is that? To begin with, we are going to ask the age old question: Why Iraq? Weren't we targeting Osamafirst?When and why did our attention shift to Iraq? What gives us the right to go and strip another country of their weapons if they've never possessed a threat to us? How would we feel if another country came to the U.S. and started bombing us and saying that they were getting rid of our weapons because we used an ATOMIC BOMB (twice!) in Japan? How do we justify killing innocent women and children just so America remains omnipotent? How many lives is the United States responsible for when we go to war and when we use our weapons of mass destruction? Think about this thoroughly people... what is really the reason for this war? Is it really to secure ourfreedom,well being and our homeland security... or is it just an excuse to have our current President finish off something his daddy couldn't at Desert Storm? Tell me once when Saddam came to this country and started killing us like we are killing Iraqis. I am not siding with Saddam here, don't get me wrong. I am simply trying to state the truth in what most of us refuse to see. If Saddam is really as horrible as he appears to be, aren't we Americans just as bad? Do we not kill people for power? Do we not do the unthinkable to defend what we stand for? Did we not torture Iraqis just for our own sick pleasure? You all know we did. Then why is it that we bitch and moan when they decapitate a soldier when we already starved, raped, sodomized and killed many Iraqis? What is OUR justification? And if we are justifying the Iraq invasion by saying that Saddam was a threat, well then, isn't Fidel Castro a threat? Isn't North Korea's uncontested ruler Kim-Sung a threat too? And back to my point... why did we just let Osama slide by? The truth is he slid by because we lost our "main focus" and targeted Hussein, not because he is a smart and clever little man who knows how to hide well. I mean, if we found Saddam stashed in a hole in the middle of nowhere, why haven't we found Osama since he is constantly parading around sending us videotapes? How can you all sleep at night knowing what's going on. The worse kind of person is the one who refuses to see the truth. Well, then I guess we all must be blind... It's not a question of "God Bless America" anymore. That saying changed a long time ago to "God Forgive America." Myriam Santos santo024@csusm.edu I have always stood by Karen Haynes side even when I did not agree with the way she handled certain situations. Even while Michael Moore ridiculed Karen Haynes on stage I remember telling her I still thought she was a great President. Face it people can be faced with hard decisions and sometimes they chose the wrong path to take. BUT I can no longer stand by her side while she ignores the racial profiling taken place on our campus by our own police! I am saddened by the fact that a President I stood by could be so blind and heartless. What has been happening on this campus is wrong and the fact that she can not see what injustice practices our HORRIBLE CAMPUS POLICE officers are committing makes me question her ability to preside over this University. I hope she makes positive strides to fixes these injustices that have occurred. But then again I might be asking for to much.

The story of Ralphie, his dream of holding that B.B. gun and factors that influence his reality (his parents, his younger brother, his friends, the neighborhood bullies and Santa himself) create a connection with the young as well as the young at heart. Ralphie reminds us that the desire for that one g ift can build to such fervor that the want becomes the passion. Ralphie is undeterred from pursuing this gift although his parents are unwilling to entertain it. He fails to convince his teacher in an essay that he is deserving of the gift. Even Santa casts a dark cloud over Ralphie's desire by repeating the impeding mantra. _ Mixed in with Ralphie's hopes are the overtones the BY KATIE POWERS Pride Staff Writer "Buddy the elf, what's your favorite color?" " Elf' is the newest addition to my holiday classics list. Where else can you see a f ull grown, semigood-looking man wearing green tights? The beginning of " Elf' has a strangely familiar claymation feel to it, but once you get beyond that it's definitely a winner. My favorite part of " Elf' is also (probably) the stupidest. I love the part where Buddy goes to work with his dad. Buddy runs around and around in the revolving door until he pukes (how many times have you so wanted to do that?). And affect some families during the holidays: the search for a Christmas tree, the repercussions of youth profanity and the struggle to salvage Christmas dinner from jaws of the neighbor's dogs. Despite the chaos and opposition, Ralphie's dad comes through with the gun. And, true to the warnings, Ralphie promptly "shoots" his eye out. The legacy of "A Christmas Story" is not one of personal injury. This film represents how the holidays, although nostalgic, are often mired with realities that are not so fond at the time. From that, we can all relate. then there's the part in the office when Buddy (for no apparent reason) is sitting in the corner on top of a stuffed polar bear. Who comes up with this s tuff? " Elf' brings out the wound-up holiday kid in us all. G et " Scrooged" "Christmas V acation" a nd the phrases that keep us watching every year BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer Instead of reviewing this awesome film, let's just reminisce the fabulous phrases that we enjoy every year. "Merry Christmas! The shitter was full," said Cousin Eddie while emptying out a septic tank while wearing a woman's bathrobe that barely covered the family jewels and drinking a beer as well. "Hallelujah holy shit where's the Tylenol," yells Clark Griswold after receiving his certificate to the jelly of the month club. "Every time Catherine turns on the microwave, I piss my pants and forget who I am for a half an hour," jokes Cousin Eddie in the living room wearing a white v-neck sweater with a brown mock turtleneck BY CHRISTINE BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer visible underneath. "Honey, why don't you run and get the kid's things, and don't forget the rubber sheets and the gerbils," said Cousin Eddie to Catherine after turning up unexpectedly at the Griswold's. "It wouldn't be the Christmas season if the stores were anymore hooter, I mean hotter than they are...you can't see the line, can you Russ," said Clark trying to hit on a young saleswoman. And my personal favorite from the yuppie neighbors next door, "Why is the carpet wet Todd? I DON'T KNOW MARGO!" I remember watching 'Scrooged" in the theater with my Mom and my sister when it first came out. Ever since, I watch it every year from Thanksgiving to New Years at least 10 times. I can honestly say "Scrooged" is the best holiday movie ever made. What makes this movie a holiday classic is that it takes a well known Christmas tale gives it a modern spin and adds Bill Murray as nasty Mr. Francis Xavier Cross. Who, by the way, has no qualms about firing an employee and cutting the holiday bonus for his faithful secretary, all in the name of saving a few bucks. My favorite scene is with the Ghost of Christmas Present who is dressed like a fairy ballerina with great big sparkly wings. She prances around Frank with her high pitched squeaky voice and beats the crap out of him. The best thing about "Scrooged" is that it teaches us that the holiday spirit should not come just once a year. We need to put a little love in our hearts throughout the whole year. �holiday movies "Planes, Trains a nd Automobiles" 11/16 Psi Chi Meeting 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. UNIV 444 BY CHEZARE MILO Pride Staff Writer PAN Weekly Meeting 1 p.m, to 5 p.m. UNIV 444 College Republican Meeting 2 p.m* to 6 p.m. UNIV 442 l am Control Meeting 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. ACD 101 11/17 Association of Computing Machinery Re-Introduction of ACM BBQ 11 a.m. to 3 p.m, Library Plaza "Santa Clause" is coming down the chimney A L L E T he M 1:1% SANTA clause IdST'ata MM! •rat.

Tim Allen becomes the new Santa after the current Santa accidentally falls off of his roof. What a great story idea! For the next 330 days after Santa kicks the bucket, Allen totally forgets his holiday obligation to the entire world and goes about his merry way. December rolls around (literally) and I love watching Allen gain 100 pounds and try to explain to his doctor why he's put on so much weight. It must be all the sweets and milk he's been eating the past month. The elves are great. They are actually little kids playing elves instead of "little people" who are normally cast for those roles. It's clever, quirky and a little cheesy, but good clean holiday fun. Potty humor for the holidays When the holiday season comes around, one reason I get excited is because Ifinallyget to watch the shows with bad words and crude humor that have characters like "Mr. Hanky the Christmas Poo" as opposed to the Yogibear specials I was subjected to as a child. Now, instead of fighting with my little brother over who gets to light the menorah candles or sleep on the big couch while we wait for Santa to come, I can have fun laughing out loud watching funny shows like "A Very Crappy Christmas." South Park's Christmas specials with BY CHRISTINE BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer BY ALLISON SANDSBURY Pride Staff Writer Mr. Hanky are great because Mr. Hanky is a walking, talking, and crapping piece of dung. Mr. Hanky visits all of the children in South Park, despite their religion. In Season Four of South Park, the audience finally gets to meet Mr. Hanky's family; his wife who always has a martini in her hand, and his three kids. A Comedy Central interview with Trey Parker and Matt Stone said that Parker created Mr. Hanky because of an old story his mom used to tell him to increase the rate of the potty training process. She used to try and scare Parker by saying, "if you don't flush the toilet Mr. Hanky will come out and get you!" If that doesn't put you in the holiday spirit, I don't know what will.

This angel has no Halo H alo 2 n ow i n stores BY JARED DEVORE Pride Staff Writer "Halo" players have been chomping at the bit for more than a year to play "Halo 2," and their chance has finally arrived. When I discovered my roommate had plans to go to the Game Stop in San Marcos at 12:00 a.m. Tuesday morning November 9th to pick up his reserved copy of "Halo 2," I was convinced he was out of his mind. It turns out, I was wrong. We arrived to a line that spanned -the entire length of the shopping center. It was apparent the expectations for this game were enormous. In fact, the expectations of the gaming industry continue to grow. This forces game creators to pump out new games that are incomplete or inadequate renditions of dreams. With the holidays quickly approaching, it is no surprise that "Halo 2 " was finally released in an attempt to reap the benefits of the holiday economic boom. In the defense of Bungie, the creators of "Halo 2," the long awaited release of the game has paid o ff yielding a t computer Images courtesy of Bungie Studios. Illustration by Jared Devore graphics masterpiece. I don't think many people would have been satisfied with much less. You can now customize your characters appearance, play with a character from the opposition, and rampage through enemy forces in the warthog. Picture your mom's Hummer with a powerful cannon mounted on top that decimates other vehicles with ease. Another attack vessel that reappears in "Halo 2 " considerably revamped is the ghost. A combination motorcycle/hovercraft, the ghost now sports a tuibd boost function similar .to a nitrous oxide boost on a car. This feature can be used effectively in escaping dangerous life or death situations. The levels are more challenging and far greater in size than the original version. The characters are more intelligent, quicker, and pack far more heat in "Halo 2." The most important, and exciting upgrade is the ability to wield two weapons. Now you can charge the opponent like Rambo taking no prisoners. According to IGN.com, Xbox's gaming website, "every h it of hype "Halo 2 " receives is deserved, and once you play it, you'll be pressed to agree." The hype is real! "Halo 2 " picks up right where Halo left off, adding some interesting plot twists. The most appealing aspect of the game is the immense carnage that you control. I am confident that there is enough fire power in "Halo 2 " to blow President Bush right out of office. This game is a masterful rendition of the original version. A fter playing almost non-stop, with the exception of the classes I was forced to attend last week, I can honestly say, "you may be inissing class." In fact, I plan to call in sick to work this weekend and continue my journey through the seemingly endless virtual worlds in an attempt to save the human race. The fate of mankind is in my hands; I am sure my place of work will understand this perilous dilemma. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Protests occurred in various circuits throughout the state. In Sacramento, more than 2,000 students participated in the march. Protesters in Los Angeles marched to the governor's office at the Reagan State Building. Students in San Diego, Riverside and Santa Barbara held similar protests. Lieutenant Governor and advocate of freezing tuition hikes, John Garamendi, joined protesters in Sacramento. "There is no more important investment than the investment in students," said Garamendi in an immediate press release from the California State Student Association. "We must stop taxing our young people, and we must once again invest in the intellectual infrastructure of our state." Also in attendance at the Sacramento protest were Senate President Pro Tem Don Perata, Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, Senate President Pro Tem elect Darrell Steinberg, " Assembly members Julia Brownley and Anthoiiy Portantino—all of whom expressed opposition to the proposed cuts as National Day of Silence: Remembering Lawrence King BY ALEXANDER HAND Pride Staff Writer Friday, April 25, 2008 - Hundreds of thousands of students across the nation observed the National Day of Silence.

"Students across the state are already facing an affordability crisis," stated Dina Cervantes, Board Chair for the California State Student Association. "These fee hikes force students to drop out of school or take on a 20 hour plus work week in addition to their classes," she stated. "Even if we work and go to school, many of us still end up thousands of dollars in debt after we graduate." These efforts aim to convince the governor to revise the budget proposal he is to submit in May.

Next year, we'll probably have to go even higher," said Hanson. "It makes mefeelreally proud to be a part of CSUSM and to know that we are number one in recycling," said Junior Business Major BeccaChaney. The annual contest consists of a ten-week long competition. During the competition, college campuses compete nationwide in various categories involving the reduction of waste. With more colleges entering each year, the contest adds categories accordingly. The contest began in 2001 with two competing colleges. The contest seems to double each year. In 2007, more than 200 colleges entered. In 2008, the competition doubled yet again to more than 400 including nearby colleges San Diego State University and University of California San Diego, This year the contest split the event into Whole Campus Division and Partial Campus Division. CSUSM won Grand Champion and others awards in 2007 and 2006. In 2005, the contest contained only two categories. CSUSM almost won Per Capita in 2005 but placed first in Recycling Rate. "We would like to thank everyone who contributed to CSUSM's victory by participating in RecycleMania 2008. We believe that our strength is consistency. We have created an environment at this institution where recycling is just part of our campus climate. It is in our collective culture. We simply need to maintain our habits today and pass on the legacy of environmental awareness to each new generation of students tomorrow," said Hanson.

Reed. Haynes has worked closely with her Executive Council and University Budget committee in recent weeks in preparation of addressing the cuts to the campus community. "Nobody's really saying that there's going to be much of a positive solution for '08-09 and therefore, it's going to take post the national election for some bipartisan movement in this state for revenue enhancement solutions for '09-10," said Haynes, when asked how long it would take before colleges could see progress. "How fast that's going to happen, post the election? People are not quite as confident, so we are very informally saying that it could well be two years before we can right this California state economy." In addition to the budget update, the University Budget committee distributed petitions to each person in attendance and collected them, promising to fax each one to the governor later that day. Concurrently, CSUSM set up outdoor phones and fax banks in Kellogg Plaza for students, s taff, and faculty to tell the governor not to cut the CSU. A .pdf version of the budget update is available in Budget Central at www. csusm.edu/plan/budgetcentral numbers have doubled, so we're pretty happy with the numbers of nominations that we got," said Franklin. Anybody can attend this event, although an RSVP was suggested. President Karen Haynes will be attending the event to deliver an opening speech, as well as guest keynote speaker, Ashley Walker, an inductee into the 2006 to the Hall of Fame for the Women's History Museum Education Center.

College students typically have a smaller vacation budget, but thisv should not limit f un and memorable vacation options. Careful and thoughtful prioritizing can maximize à budget to make the most of summer vacation. If a vacation includes a foreign country, a passport will be required as verifiable identification, so have a valid passport available well in advance of the travel date. There are many low budget vacation activities available—with some creative thinking it is easy to make a summer trip into a memorable event. 1) Road Trip One choice is the idealistic "road trip." It may sound unoriginal—and there are certainly cons to this because of rising gas prices—but a road trip is a great way to stretch out a budget. Try offsetting the cost by gathering a group of friends to share the price of gas and alternate driving. There are many places to visit (such as national parks, theme parks, friends/ family) so plan ahead with the group and make sure to have correct directions and factor in expenses beforehand so it can be a worry-free adventure. For accommodations along the trip, be sure to research inexpensive hotels and book reservations ahead of time or have an alternative plan to stay with family or friends along the way, With enough people, splitting a hotel room cost will not end u p too expensive. To find inexpensive accommodations, Travelocity and Expédia are good sources that are easy to navigate and continually advertise special deals. On Travelocity. com there are hotel rates for as low as $32 per night in the Reno-Tahoe area. If a travel destination is too far away or would be too time consuming for a road trip, many travel packages are available that bundle hotel costs and airline, tickets. To travel to a "hot spot" such as Las Vegas, Travelocity offers a $226 hotel + flight package for each person. Travelocity and Expedia offer several other moderately priced packages to other destinations, such as Miami, Florida ($454 per person including airfare and hotel). 2) Service Projects Another option is to forgo the traditional summer vacation and partake in an alternative summer breaks—volunteering efforts to help charities and relief organizations. This is becoming more popular around college campuses and even high schools. There are many activities to choose: building houses (Habitat for Humanity), clearing debris from stormaffected areas, tutoring and teaching younger children, working with hospital patients, and teaching English to immigrants. For example, CSUSM's Alternative Spring Break in March 2007 helped the aftereffects of Katrina in New Orleans. To volunteer in the summer for Habitat for Humanity, the costs can range f rom $50 to $150 and the locations are scattered across the fifty states. Check their summer listings to find a specific date, region, and cost: http://www.habitat.org/ y outhprograms/suppdocs/colchalsummerbreak_sitelist.pdf 3) Camping Another low-budget vacation is camp' ing. Camping is a great way to spend time with friends, especially for those who enjoy the outdoors. Remember that renting a cabin can be less expensive with more people. There are many locations and activities to choose from depending on one's interests. While San Marcos is in a great location to access many beaches, there are other regional spots to enjoy other water activities. Making a reservation at a state park can be done ahead of time online (a nonrefundable $7.50). Depending on the group's size and how far in advance a reservation is made, South Carlsbad costs can range from $45.00 to $225.00. South Carlsbad does not feature day-use facilities. One of the five-most visited •Cali- fornia state parks, San Onofre, in north Oceanside, has alcohol restrictions, so be sure to stay on top of rules that pertain to each park. Another state park, Cardiff, actually does not have any camping facilities, but pets are allowed. Close by to Cardiff is San Elijo State Beach, which does feature tents and RV sites. To get an idea of what to expect from other camping locations, the California State Park's website breaks down camping fees: http:// www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=23293 4) Cruise Though it may not be as inexpensive as some of the previous options, a cruise is still an affordable option. Cruises can be a great deal because while most cruises t ry to add as many people possible with low fares, optional expenses such as alcohol and excursions can be highpriced and add up Textbook buy backs BY B ILLRHEIN Pride Staff Writer The semester is coming to a close, and it is time f or students to contemplate what to do with the books they spent so much money on a few months ago. Some books are valuable in cash or intrinsic value and may be worth keeping. However, if students want to sell books and get money back, there are a few options. The first option is to use the CSUSM bookstore Buy Back. According to the store, they will be accepting books starting May 7 in stationed tents in Founder's plaza. The University Store and Buy Back Tents will be open until 7 p.m. on every weekday except Friday, when they will close at 3 p.m. The process is simple: students can b ring back their used textbooks where representatives of the bookstore will examine them. They will also scan the barcode to determine if the book is usable next year, or if the edition is out of date. If a student agrees on a transaction, they will get a predetermined amount of money back for each book, and the store can resell the book next semester. This s ervice will r un through finals week. Other options lie online. Websites such as www.booksvalue.com and www. ecampus.com o ffer a similar service as the bookstore. Students can browse the site and see how much they can get back for a copy of their book. If a student agrees on the price, he or she contacts the site, mails the book to them, and gets money back. These sites then sell the books to others on their site as well as other websites, such as www. half.com. The previously mentioned www.half. com is another place to get c^sh for books, but it requires patience. This site is a branch of www.ebay.com, but does not require the auctioning process. Students and other Internet users can list DVDs, CDs, and books they wish to sell. Unlike the other options, the seller can name his or her own price. However, that also means waiting for someone to purchase it. A fter a person makes a sale, www.half.com will deposit the money into an account, t aking a small fee for their service. Therefore, if students do not want to hang on to b ulky or unpractical books, quickly. But once again, with more people, cabins can fit up to four people, so the cost of a small cabin can be split up. Travelocity and Expedia offer many special cruise packages as well as cruise companies. Expedia.com advertises Carnival cruise packages to Mexico for rates as low as $189. At Travelocity, for a four-night, roundtrip cruise starting in Los Angeles and traveling to Baja California, Mexico, and other California destinations, it can cost $209 for an inside cabin and $609 for a suite. Remember to have a passport ready in advance if a travel destination involves a foreign country. Travel agencies can be more helpful for a more customized approach to planning a cruise. There are many interesting and f un activities to take part in during summer vacation — even under a budget! With the ideas suggested above, there is still a lot of room to make a vacation creative and personable for a memorable summer! What to do with unwanted textbooks there are many options to sell them. There are resources on campus and online to make some money back, either for books next year or for the festivities summer has to offer.

To further strengthen campus emergency preparedness Gal State San Marcos has implemented a mass notification system to communicate with the campus community during times of emergency; This system allows students, faculty and staff to determine how they would like to be notified if the campus should experience an emergency Choices include one or more of the following: • SMS text message (standard text messaging fees apply) * Cell phone * Campus e-mail • Personal e-mail • Home phone * Work phone To regisfe^ go te to enter your personal information �Tips and tricks to survive finals week BY AMY SALISBURY Pride Staff Writer The first and most important rule in keeping up with finals week is having a hold on what It's that time again, folks. kind of schedule you will have Though the term projects seem in the coming weeks.

Even though anxiety seems imminent at this point in the year, there is no reason to yield to it. Check out a Yoga book from the library and decompress with some friends.

If the pressure is far too overwhelming, take advantage of the Student Health and Counseling Services across the street f rom campus.

The Cougars jumped out to an early onerun lead in the bottom of the second inning on a Tristan Gale solo home run. Biola got the run back in the top of the third, and went on to tack on two in the top of the fifth and one in the top of the seventh. The Cougars closed the gap to one after scoring two runs in the bottom of the seventh on Jackson Chapelone and Dane Ponciano solo home runs. Biola added an insurance run in the top of the ninth and closed the door on the Cougars in the bottom half to take the win. Despite receiving their first loss in nine games on Tuesday, the Cougars continued their winning ways of late as they faced Cal State San Bernardino on Friday, taking a close one by a score of 5-4. The Cougars got on the board first, scoring on a Terry Moritz RBI single in the top of the third. San Bernardino countered with a run in the bottom of the third, and again in the fourth. The Cougars did their damage in the top of the sixth inning, scoring four runs on two hits and two San Bernardino errors. San Bernardino tried their hand at a comeback in the bottom of the eighth, cutting the deficit to one. However, a solid defensive effort by the Cougars kept the lead safe en route to the win. The Cougars again saw Cal State San Bernardino on Saturday, this time at home for a doubleheader that resulted in a split. The Cougars combated a three-run top of the first with a run in the bottom of thefirst,and four more in the bottom of the fourth. The game remained quiet from there on out thanks to strong pitching and defense for the Cougars. The Cougars could not, however carry over the momentum into the second game of the doubleheader. Despite coming out to an early 4-2 lead, the Cougars could not hold on, losing by a score of 13-7.

The Cougars carried the momentum into game two of the doubleheader, winning handily by a score of 7-2. The wins boosted the Cougars' record to 27-17 on the season and guaranteed them a spot in the NAIA Region II playoffs. As of 4/28, the Cougars are ranked #4 in the NAIA Region II ratings. April 22, 2008 ~ CSUSM Softball traveled to Buena Park last Tuesday to face Hope International in a doubleheader with serious playoff implications.

"I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell" The New York Times' bestseller "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" is by Duke and the University of Chicago alum, Tucker Max. The novel is a hilarious romp through the wild stories of Tucker Max's life, which makes "National Lampoon's: Van Wilder" seem tame by comparison. The stories include such antics as "Tucker goes to Vegas," and "The Now Infamous Tucker Max Charity Auction Debacle."

They care mostly what your experiences are in your field. to restrain from collapsing while laughing—each story was better than the one before. Tucker makes friends and enemies wherever he goes. This book does, however, demonstrate the truth of the effects of alcohol and how sometimes people tend to take advantage of others. But if you're looking for interesting stories, each one like some legendary college party complete with alcohol induced blackouts, you're in for a treat. This book is like taking the most bizarre stories from every scoundrel and rogue you know, and multiplying them exponentially. Each one is more than just risqué encounters and pan- demonium. Rather, they are the true encounters of Tucker Max. During each of his crazy nights, Tucker takes a voice recorder with him to help him document the nights that most individuals would be too drunk to remember. Some think that Tucker's actions are too ruthless—I found it them an escape from the reality of school. "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" is a book that can help alleviate the stress of finals temporarily. So sit down with a box of tissues and indulge in what will be a memorable, tearfilled, abdominally exhausting experience. Photo courtesy Sarah Hernandez / The Pride Street Kings An action-filled hi BY LANCE CARTELLI Pride Staff Writer "Street Kings" is Director David Ayers's second followup to "Training Day." "Street Kings" is a throwback cop thriller that is highlighted by a great story and solid acting from Keanu Reeves and company. Yes, Keanu Reeves. Tom Ludlow (Keanu Reeves), a veteran LAPD detective, works in the Special Vice Squad Unit in Los Angeles. Ludlow has been suffering from depression since his wife died. On top of that, his former partner, Detective Terrance Washington (Terry Crews) was murdered by two gang members. Ludlow goes on a wild and reckless pursuit through the mean streets of Los Angeles to track down the killers and get justice for Washington. Captain Jack Wander (Forest Whitaker) is Ludlow's supervisor who must keep him from going over the edge and out of the cross hairs of Internal Affairs Captain James Biggs (Hugh Laurie). "Street Kings" starts off fast and never slows down. Within the first ten minutes, viewers are able to see that Detective Ludlow is a highly skilled cop. The movie moves so quickly that no ones knows who is the good or bad cop, and by the end viewers are surprised with the thrilling twist of who is really good and bad. The only aspect that outweighs the acting of Reeves, Whitaker, and Laurie, is the writing. This movie may not have the most action, but the fast-paced story keeps viewers on the edge of their seats up until the action packed ending that will leave the audience saying "wow." Despite what the critics say, this movie is a great cop thriller and is Reeves's best work since "The Matrix." �T HE P RIDE A & E Tuesday, April 29; 2008 il Siam Surprise BY JACKIE CARBAJAL.

Land Shark Lager BY JONATHAN E. THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Margaritaville Brewing Company brews Land Shark Lager in Jacksonville, Florida. Jimmy Buffett owns Buffet's Margaritaville Holding LLC, the parent company of the brewery. Originally, the brewery produced the lager solely for Margaritaville Restaurants. The lager's popularity grew and the brewery decided to sell the product nationwide in retail outlets. There are currently eight restaurants in the United States. The closest restaurants to CSUSM are located in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Glendale, Arizona. The remaining restaurants are located near Florida with the exception of one restaurant in Cancun, Mexico. The cardboard pack- ^ ^ a ging holds 12-fluid ounce clear glass bottles. The six-pack retails for $7.29 at BevMo. A soft yellow and navy blue comprise the majority of the coloring used on the container. A simple beach scene with a large shark fin planted firmly on land captures center stage. The bottles contain the same imaging and labeling. Bronze, yellow, and navy blue fill in the artwork on the lager 's bottle cap consisting of the lager's logo. The lager has an alcohol by volume of 4.7%, slightly lower than average beers. Land Shark pours easily, generating a quarter inch thick head that remains for the majority of consumption. The lager radiates a light golden hue similar to champagne. It emits a faint biscuit infused aroma, and enters the mouth calmly like small, gentle waves at high noon beachside. A slight peak of tastes occurs immediately then disappears as the lager strolls beyond. Given the soothing nature of the brew, it should pair well with BBQ orientedL events and food. Of course* Jimmy Buffett's 1985 hit song "Margaritaville" is a nice addition during consumption. Furthermore, the lager deserves a more creative styled glass than regular lagers. The craziness associated with the ending of a spring semester indicates one thing: the close proximity of summer where flipflops and bottle tops relax and calm the Cougar. Surprise 2, for example, valued at $7.95 includes f ried rice or steamed rice, Chicken Panang Curry (spicy), garden salad with Thai cream dressing, f ried t ofu and a soda. To cap off your night, a definite must is the banana rolls dessert. Just picture this for a second: bananas deep f ried in egg roll skins, served with chocolate syrup and whipped cream for the low price of $3.25. Sounds heavenly, right? The price is worth the risk and makes it that much easier to order seconds if need be. The only downside to the Siam experience is that you may find yourself tipping 50% of the bill because you are that satisfied—it has been done. The service is friendly and accommodating and the food speaks for itself—figuratively I hope, but I must admit, I have not yet tried the duck. Siam Surprise is located at Overland Center, 26490 Ynez Road, Suite B in Temecula. For more menu options, map directions, and contact information, visit www.siamsurprise.com.

Man Crush? BY TOM COCKING Pride Staff Writer Every night before I go to bed, I sit on the couch in the living room and go back and f orth between MTV, VH1, and Fuse, watching music videos. It is late night so there are usually some odd videos on that either make me feel uncomfortable or like I am back in the 1960's. But on this special night while channel s urfing, one of the most b eautiful sounds I had ever heard came f rom V Hi's Nocturnal State, a late night music program that plays up-and-coming artists. I listened and watched the music video intently because the person singing had one of the most melodic and calming voices I had ever heard. I waited until the end to see who it was and the ending credits read "Justin Nozuka - A fter Tonight." I had heard Justin Nozuka before but couldn't purchase his CD off iTunes because he did not sell it in the U.S. So I went to my room and got my laptop, searched for him on iTunes and by the grace of God, his CD had j ust been released in the U.S. Instantly I purchased h is CD titled "Holly" and listened to every song. I have not stopped listening to his CD since. He has a Jason Mraz-like tone but hits notes I did not know men could hit. Justin is only 19 years old, but sings of things beyond the average teenager's wisdom. With songs like my favorite "Save Him," Nozuka sings of a woman who was abused by both her father and b oyfriend. His chilling vocals make you listen to every word he says. His more upbeat songs like "After Tonight" have catchy choruses that instantly make you happy. It is safe to say I have developed a "man crush" on Justin Nozuka. Sadly, he has only played a few shows in the United States, such as the South By Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas. Nozuka was born in New York then moved to Toronto and has lived there since. But due to his growing popularity, he is beginning to p erform more in the States, primarily on the east coast. With fame coming to him at such a tender age, I can only imagine what great things he will be doing in the f uture. Is [ M m - still alive and wew documentaryt.

"This new budget is just the most recent example of chronic underfunding of our state university system," said Taiz, a professor of history at CSU Los Angeles.

Each semester, CSUSM invites peace activists to speak to the campus community on the current issues in foreign diplomacy. On Tuesday, Sept 30, Colonel Ann Wright will address her concerns regarding the rape and sexual assault ofJapanese women BY JACKIE CARBAJAL News Editor Sept. 21 marked the International Day of Peace, a call for global action in support of a full day of peace and cease fire. Originally intended to occur on the third Tuesday of September, the General Assembly announced ¡pi Wfvi Photo retreivedfrom thewe.cc by U.S. military personnel in Japan from noon to 2 p.m. in the Clarke Field House. Wright, a retired United States Army colonel and retired U.S. State Department official, is most notably recognized for her candid disagreement to the Iraq War and her public resignation to protest the invasion of Iraq back in 2003. Since her retirement, Wright has become a prominent figure as a peace activist, working alongside other prominent activists such as Cindy Sheehan, who spoke at CSUSM last semester. Last spring, she was a keynote speaker at an event in Japan led by local activists to increase awareness regarding the sexual assault of Japanese women by American soldiers. Established in 1981 by the Snmiy image courtesy of Internationaldayofpeace.org United N ations, Peace Day is intended to provide people around the world the opportunity to collectively partake in acts of peace on a specific date. The event is co-sponsored by the Women's Studies Program, Communication Department, ASI Women's Center, Clark Field House,, the Psychology Department, and College ofArts and Sciences Dean's Associates. Seating will befirstcome,firstserved. Neal Hoss appointed Vice President of University Advancement BY JACKIE CARBAJAL News Editor In a letter to the campus from President Karen S. Haynes, she states that while serving as Vice President for Finance and Administrative Services from Jan. 2005-2008, Hoss "created an environment for continuous improvement and administrative productivity. His capable leadership, close ties to our external community and friends, and knowledge of the CSU system will place University Advancement and the Uni- versity in a strong position as we near our 20th anniversary." Hoss has worked at other colleges across the San Diego region including the University of San Diego as well as UC San Diego in University Advancement for four and a half years. He also served as Chief Financial Officer for the UCSD Foundation. Haynes also announced that she would begin her search for a Vice President for Finance and Administrative Services in October, citing Vice President Pat Worden to chair the search. The current VP for Finance and Administrative Services, Linda Hawk, will continue her term until the search is completed during the summer of 2009. Fall 2009 will mark the beginning of the search for a new Vice President for Student Affairs, as Worden, the current VP, will resign from the position in summer 2010. Educational Effectiveness Review underway Effective Oct. 1, Neal Hoss will official begin his role as Vice President for University Advancement.

There are so many artist performing in, redefining, and blending various genres, it is difficult to not find something that suits your taste. However, along with that, is the overall loathing and despising of other genres and artists by individuals. Yet back in the 1960's there was a music phenomenon, everyone loved The Beatles. When I say that, I know not 'everyone' loved The Beatles. However, the fans outweighed the opposed. At concerts and album releases, there was an absolute f renzy of fanatics. People o ften refer to this as 'Beatle-mania.' The obsessive nature of Beatle f ans was unlike anything ever seen. They were one of the main contributors to the 'British Invasion,' the massive flood of British music coming to the United States. They had a massive fan base that spanned the world. Their fame has lived on well past their career. Albums and paraphernalia are still high selling items worldwide. Their influence on the music world is incalculable. They revolutionized the album making process by composing songs themselves, and though they were not the first to do so, they made it the standard. Traces of their music style can still be heard in modern music. Music critics hail their work as more than music, but actual art. In the mid to mid-late 20th century, this was commonplace in the music scene. Beatles fans were not the only ones raging over the band. Other artist, such as Bob Dylan, Elvis, and Johnny Cash were j ust as big, then and now. And this raises questions about where this activity has gone. No longer are album stores flooded on the day of release. No longer do concerts become a f renzy of helpless love for the performer. This says something about the caliber of the quality of music being made today. For years there has not been an artist that has had the same glory as The Beatles or other artist of their time. I find it laughable that the Internet is filled with comments and postings that the Jonas Brothers are the new Beatles. The Brothers' f an base consists mostly of preteens and youths. They do not have the same appeal to all ages as the Beatles. Without a doubt, The Beatles are the greatest musical artists ever. They have made a mark commercially and socially that has not, and likely will never, be topped. THE PRIDE Letter to CSUSM cries wolf the editor I call foul BY GINA P. KEETON Years from now, when I look back upon my educational experience here at CSUSM, I will remember the many wonderful professors I have had who aided in shaping the ideas and thoughts I hold. However, in pertaining to the school itself, I will have only bitter memories. I think many individuals can agree that the unification efforts at this University are poor. "Cougar Pride" is most likely something that exists for a miniscule minority. There are virtually no sports and no common enemy for the CSUSM population to feel as one. Ironically enough, the only rallying efforts at this school involve fighting the California State University budget cuts. First off, this being my opinion, I want to make it clear that I understand the CSU system had been marginally hit by this lack of funds. Nevertheless, I still believe that CSUSM is not suffering as much as they want us to believe. These "budget cuts" are being used as a pathetic excuse to cheat the students out of more money. Now why am I calling foul on the school for their pleas to reduce the cuts? It is a multitude of things really. Individual incidents that one could just as easily turn their back on as coincidence. Yet if you really take a step back and look at certain things with a new perspective, you can see the bigger picture in which everything is intertwined. Over the summer a Professor mentioned that the school had spent an enormous amount of money to change from the trusty Smart Web system to theflawed,yet more visually attractive, MyCSUSM. Then in the weeks approaching the fell semester, the e-mail server switched and the school's homepage got an unneeded makeover. So why is it that a school that is suffering for money happened to splurge on superficial remodeling? To make up for the budget cuts . the school has cut GE courses in which seniors who are graduating this fell still need but cannot get into. The school is not allowing transfer students this spring supposedly in response to the cuts. To top it all off, the school's offices are infested with incompetent workers. Preceding this semester I had serious issues with the Veteran's office, Financial Aid and Scholarships, the Cashiers, and even the Registrar. After weeks of trying to get these issues resolved and having no success, I went to the Dean of Students. By the next morning I received seven phone calls either telling me that my complaint had np merit and I don't know what I'm talking about or kissing up to my derriere with an incredible amount of force. In the end, the problems were resolved after much stress and hardship. However, I cannot forget the many lies I was told, the fact that they kept a large scholarship check of mine to collect interest on, and the many individuals I went through that did not have a clue of what was going on in their own office. Maybe what the school needs to do, instead of trying to get State funding, is take a good look at their budget and try to clean up the wrongs inside the school, instead of giving it a shiny new website.

It's no longer a overall temperature of the earth question of if it exists, but what increased. impact it is having. Casual observation would Several studies have concluded seem to tell us the human impact that global warming has not had a measurable impact on hurricane intensity. A study released earlier this month by the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, a partner of the Department of Commerce's the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, concluded "that despite statistical correlations between SST [Sea Surface Temperature] and Atlantic hurricane activity in recent decades, it is premature to conclude that human activity—and particularly greenhouse warming-has already had a discernible impact on Atlantic hurricane activity." The belief that a line has been drawn in the sand may not be as realistic or influential as one might think. In July 2006, Christopher Landsea of NOAA challenged the scientific community's attempt to connect global warming with hurricane intensity on the grounds that there simply was not a comprehensive enough body of data to make such a claim with any sort of accuracy. Older hurricane data is regarded as incomplete and shoddy, making it difficult to lend itself to the long term examination of global warming on hurricanes. It seems obvious then to ask yourself why all of this matters. If we are unable to say with certainty or anything remotely close to it that the hurricane disasters of late are by our own making, how is this an issue we need to take seriously? Not having enough evidence to make the case isn't an excuse for continuing to allow global warming to worsen. The only reason why the science isn't quite where it should be is because there isn't enough to be measured yet. I am not comfortable with gambling on that uncertainty after witnessing a string of devastating hurricanes compromise the safety and well being of my fellow Americans. The costs in lives and in damages if we continue to sidestep the possibility of global warming effects on hurricane intensity are easily avoidable if we as Americans and citizens of the world take the proper measures to make sure this ceases to be an issue. If we continue to idly stall until we achieve absolute certainty then the blood of America's hurricane victims will be on our hands and ours alone. �FEATURES THE PRIDE Some of CSUSM's youngest students still in diapers BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer Located adjacent to the UPD building off La Moree Road is one of CSUSM's newest resources. The Center for Children and Families just celebrated its one-year anniversary at the beginning of this month. While the site is a childcare center, it offers a wide range of services. According to Francesca Gallozzi, the director of the center, they offer childcare and preschool experience. They are open to children aged 6 weeks to 5 years, or about the age of kindergarten. The center is certified to care for infants who are less than 24 months, as well as being certified for children over 2 years until junior preschool and pre-k. Though the center is affiliated with CSUSM, it is open to the community. According t o Gallozzi, about 60% of the children are from the community, though students, staff and faculty have priority in enrollment. The children are cared for by fully qualified teachers at low ratio of children to teacher, which they are proud of, she said. Several workers happen to be students, though they must meet several requirements. Other features include all meals cooked on site for the children. The center is also a learning lab for the university for students who study child development. Gallozzi is pleased with the growth of the center, and she is looking for more ways to reach out. When the center opened, there were only 23 children, and enrollment is currently more than 120. "The school hasn't fully realized the opportunities for engagement at the center," she said. One program implemented in the center is the 'Cougars to Cubs' program. Student and staff can arrange a visit to the center to teach children about their field. Through this, both parties may benefit from the experience. Another program recently s tarted is the 'Celebrity Readers Program.' The center invites notable staff and community members to the center to bring their favorite book and read to the children. President Haynes was the first to participate in the event. The center will also collaborate with the University Village to host a Halloween carnival for the children this fall, a tradition started last year. The Childrens' Creative Learning Center (CCLC) is the parent company of the center. According to their website, the CCLC is a nationwide company managing childcare centers since 1992. Their emphasis is on centers for working families that provide learning experience. "We're really exited to be here and excited about growth," said Gallozzi. Tuesday, September 23, 2008 Catholic Club gains popularity BY JONATHAN E. THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer The club became official in March 2008. Club President Phil Hoffman and Vice President Nate McWeeney head the organization. Jenny Doherty handles communications by reaching out to all interested students. Seven other officers comprise the group. The club holds biweekly meetings every first and third Wednesday of the month at 7PM in Dorm Building C Meeting Room 1. On Wednesday the 24th, they are meeting with another Christian club on campus called Intervarsity at 7PM at the Clark Field House in Room 110. "It's popular for Catholic students to look for schools with Catholic clubs. I wish we had one when I started," said Hoffman. Hoffman and others met with a few deities in San Diego before forming the club. The deities gave support and funding for the CSUSM Catholic club. The churches even sent members from the group on retreats to train and help them with leadership. The club's mission aims to unite Catholics on campus. The group also wants to enable students to have a good Christian experience on campus and unite them with church. Eventually they want to establish a Newman Center on campus. The center provides a place of worship for Catholic students. The club intends to host a concert on campus next semester as well. "I think it's great that CSUSM students are keeping our faith alive," said Senior Management Major Suzette Monroyo. 60 students attended thefirstactual meeting back in April. Since then, more than 90 students joined the club's mailing list. For more information visit www.facebook. com/group.php?gid=29877041253 or send e-mail to csusmcatholicclub@gmail.com. "All are welcome. We can make people's college experiences a memorable one with friends and the opportunity to grow spiritually," said Hoffman. HBB Classifieds Paper due? Dictate your paper.

"Higher education is part of the solution to a troubled economy. Cuts to the California State University undermine California's economy, undermine revenue to the state, and undermine our ability to compete in a global economy," Taiz said. "The importance ofhigher education to the state's future is not lost entirely on our state legislators and the governor. In response to intense pressure by supporters of the CSU, they restored some $97 million to the CSU system in the May budget revision.

At CSUSM, the Career Center, located in Craven 1400, offers numerous resources to help with the process. Pamela K. Wells, the Associate Director of the Career Center and a Career Counselor, offers these tips. • Practice the interview. If enough time is available, schedule a mock interview in the career center. Students have the opportunity to practice an interview with a counselor. He or she should come dressed appropriately and with personal information such as resume and cover letter. The session can be scheduled for one hour and consist of at most a 30 minute interview, which can be recorded and bought for $3, but is not mandatory. A debriefing follows this and the student can receive feedback. If the timing of the interview does not allow for a mock interview, students can also practice online. Through the Career Center's website, www.csusm.edu/ careers, students have access to a program called 'Perfect Interview.' This online tool has students respond to typical interview questions. It can utilize a computer's webcam to record and playback a student's response, or answers can be typed into a text box. Either way, students can view appropriate responses to the questions. • Be ready with information about yourself Knowing one's strengths is an important way to show that he or she will be a good addition. Along with knowing strengths, the interviewee should be ready with specific examples about using these skills in the work- place. Using the STAR formula can leave a positive impression. Be able to frequently describe a Situation and Task, as well as the Action taken and Result to show off one's strengths. In addition, it is recommended that the interviewee know about the job they are going for. He or she should be familiar with the job description. As well, it is a good idea to be familiar with the position and company. • Make a strong first impression The first few seconds of the interview are critical. One should wear clean, pressed, and fitting business or business casual clothes, based on the interview. The interviewee should know the traffic and the route taking so that he or she can find parking and be on time. • Be memorable. Often interviewers will ask if one has any questions for them. It looks good when one asks specific relevant questions because it shows interest in the position. In addition, the interviewee should ask about what the next step is, when he or she will hear back, and take a business card. Using the ^information on the card, one should write a thank you for the time in the interview. Use the Career Center Besides the Mock Interview, the Career Center has many more resources online and in their office. Their 'Career Guide' offers information to get started on the job hunt and finer details about interviewing, such as the best way to give an answer, things not to say, and fine details on dressing. If a company offers you an interview that means you look good on paper and the interviewer wants to see more of your personality. Be confident, be yourself, and good luck!

Attington rejects virtual reality video games and reality television sponsorship offers, instead choosing to take the moral high ground and surf for the fun of it. One day, while out on the surf, the waves suddenly stop and stay that way, a worst nightmare for any surfer. The wave drought causes Attington to lose his big sponsorship deals, forcing him to either give in to the virtual reality world or wait around for the waves to come. Also starring Woody Harrelson, Scott Glenn, Willie Nelson, and Alexie Gilmore. The Pride caught up with Surfer, Dude director S.R.

Whatever those things are. We're going to be a proverbiallyflabbysociety in our minds. When a machine breaks, some people are stunned. They're done. If the computer breaks, people go crazy. Somebody's Blackberry goes out and they're lost. I don't know what to do. How does your lead character in the film (Attington) reflect what is going on in the world today? S.R.B.—How does a nature guy, someone that is tapped into nature, deal the fact that his nature gets taken away from him? We use the waves as metaphor to nature. Nature goes away. For Attington, the waves go away. M.M.—He's landlocked. Stuck in a world where the only thing that makes sense is this digital world and his only access to get the thing that he loves, this very natural thing called a wave, is to go down and live in this 'reality' house—to digitize himself for thisfreesurfer game. He's not a moralist going 'No, I don't like that.' He's just going 'That's really not for me, man. I'm a surfer out there, under the sun. I'm not really into that.' You look at reality TV now. Its this huge craze and hugely successful but we all know it's not real. Its false drama and we love watching it and it's a turn on but its not really happening. I've never seen The Hills. The Food Network's got some good ones. S.R.B.—How would a guy who is authentic deal with these inauthentic realities? We thought that would be an interesting juxtaposition. M.M.—Every surfer's worst nightmare is when they're stuck and there's no waves. So, they can go and they've all been there before. They can go laugh at me going crazy and know that when they get out of the theater hopefully there's some swell of their own. So, in that way, it is an—not anti-surf film—but a non-surf film. We surf in the beginning and then the waves go away. So you wore the same board shorts for the whole movie? M.M.—It was the greatest wardrobe ever. He's (Attington) not even coherent that maybe there's that manners and grace that you should wear a shirt indoors. He doesn't even think that way. He's in the office, no shirt, shoes. He doesn't even notice. We asfilmmakersnever made a connotation or note to it. So that's part of our humor as well. People may go 'Oh McConaughey's got His shirt off again,' but that's what's kind of funny about it. I did it a whole movie, all the way through. It was great. What makes this a good movie for the fall? M.M.—We're trying to catch the end of summer and hopefully give you some of that Sunkist fun. Surfing is sort of a backyard sport in San Diego. Why should surfers go see this movie? GRADUATE P SYCHOLOGY PROGRAMS • APA-accredited Psy.D.

Koga's petite f rame hiding the deep waters of creativity flowing beneath. Koga is a senior in the Literature and Writing program here at CSUSM with an emphasis in writing. When asked what inspired her to write she confesses that a school report written by her sister on the i nfamous Bonnie and Clyde, Koga learned that Bonnie was a poet and that attracted her to poetry. Photo by Kathryn McBrayer/The Pride From there the writings of E.E. Cummings, Charles Bukowski, Lewis Carroll, Jim Morrison, Jack Kerouac "helped steer [her] writing in different directions, and exposed [her] to different techniques that never crossed my mind before." Although Koga's main form of expression is poetry she has recently been exploring screen writing and the novel. Koga hopes to own a publishing company and be able to support herself with writing. Before the publishing end of writing takes her main focus away Koga wants to complete an MFA in creative writing but insists, "no matter where my publishing company/MFA plans take me, I will always be writing." Koga began creatively writing at around the age of 12 and admits that it has been an "essential form of communication." Writing for Koga is not achieved in the textbook classical form of development. Koga writes in stream of consciousness and uses words as a source for emotional expression. Koga says o fthe writing process, "Most of the time I sit down with a blank brain and see what comes out." Koga enjoys poetry for they way a "singular word will express whole sen- tences or paragraphs of meaning." Koga is less thrilled with the revision process of poetry because she finds it can be a tremendous e ffort. Koga usually will write a piece and hedge self-editing until a few months later. Koga allows the poem/story per- colate in her mind and then go back to it for editing. Wherever the writing/publishing world takes Koga f rom CSUSM its safe to say the j ourney has j ust begun. A sampling of Koga's poems can be found in the " Pride" on line.

Held in the East Village, behind Petco Park, this all-ages event attracted alcohol enthusiasts, parents with their pre teen youngster and a variety of eccentric indie rockers together for the love of music. Friday's lineup hosted more alternative sounds then years before, such as headlining act Beck. Cat Power and MGMT were also big names on the line up for Friday.

Later on in the night, MGMT, a band whose trendy 80's beats are very much keen to the Flaming Lips melodic tones, took the Zarabanda Stage at 5:45 PM and played a 45 minute set. The stage was set at the end of a narrow street, which was lined with apartment complexes, which did not help with the acoustics, ings, the fest is begging to be heard. And so it was. Saturday seemed to flow more smoothly than Friday. The food was prepared more quickly, the bands started and ended on time, the traffic was better. It seemed that after only one day the festival was familiar to people, a short lived home awayfromhome. The four stages, named after popular music venues around San Diego, were rooted in the streets, becoming a part of the neighborhood. As the second half of bands began around 4:30, the weather was noticeably cooler than the day before, a sharp contrast against the heat of the lights and warmthfromthe sea of bodies. The Whigs kicked the doors open with their own brand of classic radio rock. Their set woke people up and excitement was back in the air.

Starting at 10:45 PM, Beck was on the biggest stage, the Fulano Stage, where they played an hour and 15 minute life changing set. But Street Scene is more than just music, on Friday, the streets werefilledwith local artwork showcased for sale, local and imported fashion was displayed, as well as the popular beer gardens scattered around the street These features enhance street scene's laidback reputation, though tickets for a two day pass were $95, and parking for a bargain was $20, inside the scene was relaxed with good food, good beer, and good music . the whole crowd moving, and Cold War Kids, cycling through decades of rock in their genre twisting set. As the night began to draw to a close, out with the moon came the headlining acts to top of the festival. The National closed out the Fulana stage, their inspirational set being a highlight of the day for many fans. Immediately after on the Fulano stage, 80's new wavers Devo hit the stage, bringing nostalgia into the new millennium with style. As thefinalnotes of their set rang around the festival, it seemed to be a perfectfitto an event that has been going on for 24 years, where genres of the past and present collide, creating an atmosphere of musical bliss. Saturday DROPPING: Photo by Sandra Chalmers / ThrPride SEX AND THE CITY GRADE:C+ Though this movie has plenty to offer for fans of the television show, it does not stand up well by itself.
