scandal

Student Matt Weaver, who
was arrested last month on
suspicion of tampering with
computer ballots in campus elections, is also under
investigation f o r about 700
possible cases of identity
theft f ro m students, a Cal
State San Marcos spokeswoman said last week.
"Yes that is^true. We know
that about 700 passwbrds
and user names were compromised," said Margaret
Lutz Chantung, a CSUSM
public information officer.
"I am not aware of any staff
or faculty members compromised."
A fte r discovering the account break-ins on March 15,
the university's Instructional
& Information Technology
Services (IITS) locked the
compromised accounts and
the affected students were
required to reset their passwords, she said.
Accusations tying Weaver
to possible identity theft first
arose after the university suspected someone had hacked
into its computers and tampered with files in the elections f o r Associated Students
Inc., the university reported
last month.
The voting — all of which
is done online — ran f ro m
March 12 to March 15. But
instead of announcing election results on March 16, the
university declared the elections invalid, and rescheduled them f o r May.
Weaver, a third year business major and one of two
candidates running f o r ASI
president, was arrested on
the final day of online balloting, the university reported.
Weaver was jailed March
15 on suspicion of election
f raud , unlawful access to a
computer or database, and
10 counts of identity t heft .
He posted $50,000 bail the
following day, according to

In the wake of the theft of
more than 700 student passwords this month, a university official said the campus
is in the midst of a reconsideration of the student Internet usage policy.
Until now, Cal State San
Marcos students were sent
an email each semester suggesting that they change
their passwords to avoid
identity t heft . Faculty members, by contrast, are required to change their passwords every 12 weeks.
Teresa Macklin, who
works in the university's instructional and information
technology services department, said that as the result
of the identity crimes uncovered on campus this month,
the university is reconsider-
ing its policy, and may require students to periodically change their passwords.
In the meantime, she advises students to be vigilant
in protecting their privacy
online.
"Students need to be carefu l where t hey'r e signing in.
They shouldn't share their

Athlete spotlight:
Why you shouldn't skip breakfast Ashley Aronson
CURTI S BOVEE
S TAF F W RI TE R
In the United! States, breakfas t is o fte n overlooked as a
result of the hectic lifestyles
that many of us have fallen
into. Unfortunately, skipping
breakfast has proven t o b e
detrimental to o ne' s health.
Getting a healthy start in
the morning by eating a nutritious breakfast will allow
your body to reap m ajo r benefits.
According to the National
Institute of Health (NIH),
people w h o eat breakfast are
less likely t o b e overweight
than those who skip breakfas t regardless of if they eat
mor e throughout the day.
Furthermore, eating breakfas t a ffect s your satiety center, influencing how f ul l you
f ee l during the day, preventin g impulsive snacking and
binge eating.
Whether you are hungry
or not in the morning, you
should still eat something.
Breakfast provides the energy you need to begin your
day arid can boost your
mood, according to the NIH.
Additionally, according to
t h e Centers f o r Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
eating a nutritional breakfast
has been linked to positive
short-term effects on cognitive functioning and alertness
in college students. Knowing
that eating breakfast can potentially cause you to excel
in academics should be more
than enough reason to start
doing it.
While it is extremely important to your health to eat
breakfast, what y ou'r e eating is just as important. Eat
foods that are more satiating
during breakfast, includ-
ing f ruits, vegetables, lean
meats, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds. Eating
these foods not only during
breakfast but throughout the
day will cause you to feel f ul l
longer, preventing unnecessary eating or snacking.
It is important to avoid eating foods with added sugars
as; these foods have no contribution to satiety and will
ultimately cause you to eat
more throughout the day.
Instead of eating high sugar
foods, try eating a breakfast
with more fiber; y ou'l l eat
the same amount of f ood ,
while eating less calories and
being f ul l for longer.
Take the extra 20 minutes
in the morning to create a
healthy breakfast pattern.
Not only will you feel better,
but you might also increase
academic performance and
energy throughout your day.

Finally, after a five month

all ages will get a new Majo r League Baseball (MLB)
season. I t' s the return of the

opening days can bring.

the defending World Series
Champions, the St. Louis
Cardinals take on the newly
named Miami Marlins: The
remainder of the teams will
begin their seasons April 5

Southern California will
look to once again return to
promise land that is the playoffs , with local teams like the
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, San Diego Padres and
the Los Angeles Dodgers
building on promising 2011
seasons and making some
important off-season moves.
Look for these teams to
make it awfully difficult f o r
other teams to make it out of
SoCal a winner.
The San Diego Padres
finished dead last in the National League (NL) west division last year with a 71^91.
The Padres will be looking
to make their way out of the
basement of the MLB and
make great strides in progress as they look toward
continuing the rebuilding
process. Padres added power
son with the acquisition of
outfielder Carlos Quentin.
The Padres lost all-star closing pitcher Heath Bell but
replaced him with veteran
closer Huston Street.
The Angels made some
huge noise this off-season
with the signing of future
hall of fame first basemen,
Albert Pujols and All-Star
pitcher C J . Wilson. The Angels finished second in their
division at 86-76. Expect the
Angels to be the favorites to
win the American League
(AL) west division with their
juggernaut offense.
The Angels aren't the only
team in L A , the Dodgers
also call LA home and were
just purchased by an interest
group which included NBA
hall-of-famer and former

Associate Vice President f o r
Educational Equity and Diversity, Derrick C rawford ,
on Tuesday, March 13.
Sonny L ack' s
mother ,
Henrietta L acks , grew u p in
Clover, Virginia during the
1920s. On Sept. 19, 1950,
she was diagnosed with cervical cancer when doctors
f oun d a tumor in her cervix.
A fte r a hard battle with the
cancer and multiple surgeries , she died on October 4 ,
1951.
But something happened
b efor e she died that changed
the f ac e of the medical field.
During a surgery t o r emov e
h e r tumor, Dr. Johns Hopkins saved a f e w of her cells
without her permission f o r
research on Polio, an epidemic at the t ime . Once sent
to Dr. George Gey, the research head of this p roject ,
Gey discovered that L acks '
cells did not die unlik e the
hundreds of cells tested b6for e her cells.
Almost 20 years later, they
had taken her cells t o space
and b ack , as well as discovered cures f o r many diseases.
And yet her f amily still was
not i nforme d of it. In spite
of now k nowing of it , L acks '
f amil y is still not being compensated f o r i t , and many of
them d o not have health insurance.
"[An apology f ro m Johns
Hopkins University] would
have been important t o the
family, I think. They h av e
not apologized. I d on' t think
w e should b e compensated ,
but as they start commercializing her c ells , I d o think that
w e should b e compensated
f o r that. I still d on' t h av e

Sonny Lacks said.
C rawfor d also asked Lacks
what h e knew about his
mother.
" The y always tell m e that
my mothe r was a giving person. I like all t h e stories they
said about my mother. Everything they told m e about

C rawfor d then asked Lacks
and his daughter Jeri what
they think their m other' s
legacy i s .
"[Her legacy] is a g ift . Just
reading this book touches
everybody' s lives. She is j us t
a g if t that keeps giving," Jeri
said.
T h e event was followed b y
a Q&A discussion f ro m the
audience.
T h e legacy of Henrietta
Lacks and her immortal cells
can b e read about in Rebecca

C ésa r Chávez:
Latino icon for change
"
Migrant workers1 rights activist honored for l egac y
DANE A VANDERVELDEN
S TAFF W RI TER
Holding permanent vigil
at the top of the staircases
to thè l ef t of the school library stands Cal State San
Marcos's tribute to one of
the most highly regarded Latino civil rights activists in
modern history: a life-sized
metallic sculpture o f César
Estrada Chávez.
Perched above the saying,
"Sí, se puede" (Chávez's
personal slogan, meaning
"Yes, it is possible" or "Yes,
it can be done"), the statue
pays homage to the numerous advancements C háve z
made in the steep uphill battle for immigrant workers'
rights.
Whereas CSUSM honors
Chávez with this sculpture,
March 31 has been designated as César Chávez Day by
the states, Colorado, Texas
and California. Across these
three states, many public
schools, community colleges, libraries and other state
government offices close f o r
the day t o honor the memory
of Ch&vez's work, as well.
According to the Cesar
Chavez Foundation website,
Chavez was born March 31,
1927 in Yuma, Arizona to a
Mexican-American family.
Chavez's family owned a
ranch and grocery store, but
eventually lost them both to
the turmoil of the Great Depression.
Forced to seek work,
Chavez's family headed west
to California to become migrant workers. It was there
that Chavez began to encounter the struggles that his
fellow Mexican-Americans
were experiencing on a daily
basis.
A fte r graduating the eighth
grade, Chavez worked the
fields f o r two years to help
support his family before
suiting up and serving in the
U.S. Navy f o r two years.
Upon returning to civilian l ife , Chavez went back
to the fields but quickly established himself as an organizer f o r the Community
Service Organization (CSO),
a Latino civil rights group.
He traveled the country urg-
ing Mexican Americans, to
register to vote, and also
delivered speeches on the
rights of migrant workers.
He would eventually become
the organization's president
in 1958.
In 1962, Chavez left the
CSO and co-founded the
National Farm Workers
Association (NFWA), another organization geared
solely toward the advancement of immigrant workers .
Throughout the 60s, 70s and
80s, Chavez would lead numerous strikes across the nation in pursuit of wage hikes
f o r the various immigrant
fruit and vegetable pickers.
He rarely initiated a strike
that did not succeed in its
goal.
Chavez passed away in
1993, but since then, his
legacy has made him as a
revered historical icon in the
Latino community. His active support f o r immigrant
workers and his unwavering
faith in the ability of grassroots movements t o bring
about national change have
become legendary.

A memorial service f o r
CSUSM student Madison
Howe was held at the McMahon house on April 1 »just
one week after his passing.
Prior to the service, Madison's parents greeted guests,
consisting of friends, family,
students and faculty, among
other relations. His parents
expressed genuine interest in
hearing about how those u n familiar to them had known
their son.
Nearby, a table was set
up with photos of Madison,
some of his favorite books
including works b y George
Orwell and Thomas Paine,
and a sign in sheet and album in which guests could
write about their fondest
memories of Madison.
Following a performance
of traditional bagpipe music, the service began with
F E AT U R E S 5
of Madison Dexter Howe
a prayer, a brief word f ro m
the pastor and a reading of
Psalm 23.
Madison's father, Haydn,
then •delivered a eulogy,
which spoke highly of Madison's gracious attitude, even
in times of pain when he
was being treated f o r his peripheral pulmonary arterial
stenosis, a condition which
affected the arteries in his
lungs. At one point in the
eulogy, Haydn said how he
would love to tell everyone
about his son, but that Madison would not want him to,
so as to preserve every person's individual perception
of him. i
Shortly after, a communal
eulogy took place in which
anyone in attendance could
share a brief anecdote about
his or her relationship -with
Madison. A consensus was
reached amidst the stories
shared, and that was that
Madison was a genuinely
good person who selflessly
gave of himself to everyone
around him, greatly enriching lives.
As a gift to those in attendance, and representative of
Madison's enthusiasm and
talent f o r playing guitar,
each guest was given a guitar
pick.
An essay, written by Madison when he was 17 years
old, entitled "Why is L if e so
Hard" was included in the
memorial program and read
aloud by the pastor.
In thé essay, Madison set
out to answer such questions
as "Why is l if e so hard?" and
"Why do I exist?" Throughout the essay, he addresses his
personal insecurities, namely
defining himself and finding
his purpose, and overcoming
those insecurities. He then
addresses his illness, and instead of allowing it to inhibit
him, he states, "You just do
what you have to do to stay
alive."
With his inspiring philosophy, and the referencing of
the philosophies of V iktôrE .
Frankl and Fyodor Dostoevsky, Madison made a powerfu l conclusion.
"I have come to realize
that without negatives there
will never be any positives,"
Madison wrote.
His ability to accept his illness as a negative, and also
as a way to see things positively, allowed Madison t o
find his purpose in his suffering.
"Simply existing seems
now to be a great purpose,
and still, as young as I am,
I have many years to go,"
Madison wrote.

César Chávez Day o ff ?
JESSIE GAMBRELL
S TAF F W RI TE R

Last Friday, CSUSM took
a holiday in honor of César
Chávez.
César Chávez Day is< a
holiday that celebrates a man
who fought f o r MexicanAmericans, who worked
farms in the U.S., to have
equal rights and to be treated
respectfully. He helped them
to get decent labor treatment,
such as fresh water and bathrooms to use on the j ob . He
was also a big activist f o r the
unionization of farm laborers.
Our school has a statue of
him at the top of the César
Chávez stairs, in honor of
him because CSUSM is located in a very agricultural
region.
This is one reason our
school decided to take César
Chávez Day off in place
of Presidents' Day. All Cal
State Universities have to
take the same amount of
days o ff . In February, some
students wrote chalk on
some stairways questioning
why Presidents' Day was not
favored over César Chávez
Day. Other students d on' t
mind the observance of this*
holiday.
"I know we have the César
Chávez statue, so i t is like we
are celebrating him like our
mascot. It kind of makes us
different. I d on' t have any
hard feelings about it," freshman Bonnie Miani said.
Presidents' Day is a nax tional holiday celebrating
first U.S. president, George
Washington's,
birthday.
Since 1879, most schools,
colleges, businesses, the
entire military and government have taken this federal
holiday o ff . Why doesn't
CSUSM?
Many students felt very
strongly in opposition toward the fact that our school
takes this day off instead of
Presidents' Day:
"This is America. Honor
the holiday that honors our
presidents," freshman Bret
Unity said.
"I think we honor [Chávez]
enough. We should give our
American presidents a day,"
senior Weston Ryan said.
Personally I feel that we
should observe (only) César
Chávez Day as respect f o r
a man who fought f o r civil/
equal rights f o r farm workers and who achieved the
"American Dream", but not
in place of our American
presidents. One of the great
things about our country is
the courage and bravery of
our Founding Fathers and
past presidents, so why ever
would we not honor them?
They made the backbone
for our nation; that in itself
should be reason enough to
have Presidents' Day o ff , let
alone the fact that a majority of students do not even
have classes on Fridays, so
Presidents' Day would be
more of a holiday f o r the entire campus. So what can we
do? Have our voice be heard
and speak out, this is the best
way that we as students can
get things done, our voices
and opinions are our main
tools f o r standing up f o r
what is right and I believe
that it is our duty as American citizens to stand up f o r
what is right.
Apparently
emboldened
by the persistent lack of censure, Weaver now finds himself charged with multiple
felonies. But is he the only
person potentially guilty of
unacceptable behavior in the
campus' seemingly permissive environment?
How about the other candidates accused of running a s a
slate, a violation of the university election code?
How about the ASI "higher
u ps " who supposedly
leaked early
election returns to a
favored
student candi-
date?
How about the staff member accused of berating students at a campus candidate
forum f o r exercising their
f re e speech right?
How about the administration whose reluctance to act
condones harassment and
discrimination, cheating and
verbal abuse?
CSUSM is not "Animal
House." We live in a real
world, where words wound,
where harassment inhibits
learning, where wayward
college students go t o prison—à world where the administration's avoidance of
confrontation leads to costly
collisions between campus
community standards and
people who feel entitled to
d ef y them. Nope, compared
to CSUSM, "Animal House"
looks like kindergarten.

Last month, Bioware's
"Mass Effect 3 " was released
to critical acclaim from
many review websites such
as IGN.com, Gamespot.com
and lUP.com. While professional reviewers are pleased
with the game, die-hard fans
of the series have their objections to the game's ending.
The Mass Effect series has
always stressed the iniportance of the player' s decisions within the game's storyline leading to numerous
outcomes and endings. In
the previous games, endings
would be specifically tailored to the choices players
made. These choices would
determine whether certain
characters would live or die
and the fate of several key
locations. In "Mass Effect 3"
however, the endings d on' t
quite reach the same level of
uniqueness.
Fans started several social
media campaigns including "Retake Mass Effect
- Child's Play." The group,
set up through the website
Chipin.com, was established
to raise funds f o r the Child's
Play charity while raising
awareness f o r their dissatisfaction with "Mass Effect
3 's " ending. Though the
group is no longer accepting
donations, "Retake Mass E f fect " has accumulated more
than $80,000 f o r the Child's
Play charity.
Thankfully, their pleas
have not gone unnoticed.

founder Dr. Ray Muzyka responded in the blog section
of Bioware.com.
" ...Exec . Producer Casey
Hudson and the team are
hard at work on a number of
game content initiatives that
will help answer the questions, providing more clarity
f o r those seeking further closure to their journey. You'll
hear more on this in April,"
said Muzyka.
Muzyka's post signals an
important victory f o r the petitioners and fans alike—it
lets fans know that developers are listening. The creators
care about the f ans ' reactions
to the game and are trying to
resolve the issues.
Whether Bioware's update to the game is well received by the fans remains
to be seen. Hopefully, other
developers will take notice
of the effort fans have gone
through to change a franchise they care for.

FREDRICK MISLEH
S TAF F W RITE R
When the news
broke over Spring
Break that alleged
election fraud occurred in the ASI
elections, I was
pretty shocked. I
thought to myself,
"How could those
running be that
corrupt?" Then I
heard it was Matt Weaver, an
editor of The Koala, a satire
publication that has recently
gone quiet on the CSUSM
campus. To m e , that explained everything.
N o one should be shocked
by Weaver's actions. His
publication, The Koala, is
barely tolerated by the administration as an expression of our constitutional
rights to f re e speech and f re e
press, even if the publication lists ten steps to commit
rape and not get
caught. Weaver's
involvement with
the publication is
an indicator of his
character: foolish,
arrogant, and corrupt.
Weaver wanted
to be ASI president, but he felt
the rules d idn' t apply to him;
maybe no one had ever held
him accountable to social
rules we all essentially follow. No one told him issues
like rape and drug abuse are
not acceptable t o j ok e about,
nor did anyone tell him unlawful access to a computer/
database, identity theft and
election fraud (the three
charges Weaver was indicted
would land him in jai l but
also were socially irresponsible and publicly
embarrassing.
In one sense,
h o we v e r ,
the
student
body is lucky
Weaver was
never told he
couldn't
rig
elections; now
we d on' t run the
risk of Weaver' s disruptive behavior

Published in 2 008 , ove r
60 years a fte r it w a s written, "And the H ippo s w er e
Boiled in their T anks " reveals the early writing styles
of its authors, Jack K eroua c
and William S . B urroughs .
Written
a
significant
amount of time b efor e their
most notable novels, Kerouac's " O n the R oad " and
Burroughs' "Naked L unch, "
"And the Hippos were Boiled
in their Tanks" provides
readers with fascinating insights into the Beat Generation's origins. The novel
shares a certain prematurity
in contrast to the writers' respective moments when they
reached their prime.
With each writer alternating narrators, Kerouac as
M ik e Ryko and Burroughs
as Will D ennison , the novel
tells t h e story of a group of
f riend s in N e w York, a f e w
of w ho m are making e ffort s
at shipping o ut . A s they wait
f o r an opportunity t o l eave ,
they spend their f re e time interacting at b ars , each o thers '
h omes , movi e theaters and
through some of the g roup' s
shared interest in poetry,
w hil e experimenting with
substances and their sexualities..
T h e murder subplot* which
occurs towards the end of t h e
n ovel , acts as the mai n inspiration f o r the s tory' s existence. T h e b oo k is based on
a murder which took place
among the real-lif e Beats in
the 1940s.
W hil e the writing is not as
impressive as the a uthors '

Chris Brown's latest single, "Turn Up The Music" is catchy
and up tempo, sdlf makes for a perfect workout song. It's
a good idea to ijtee it in the beginning of the workout because it keeps you motivated.
Though J. Cote's song, "Work Out" isn't necessarily talking about exorcise, the title goes alorlg with the theme
and the song is fast p ace^ , which gives you energy.

Amoaku gives campus its own rhythm
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second of a
two-part series about Artists in Residence.
A NITA MARCIEL WILLIAMS/PIONEER
"This is a unique university — that's what
brought me here."
The speaker is Dr. W. Komla Amoaku, Program Director of Visual and Performing Arts at
Cal State San Marcos. 'That's the only reason I
would make a change after being head of a
department for 13 years" he continued in reference to his position in Ohio until August, 1991.
"I didn't need to make a move and I had my own
home. But something brought me here—it's a
place that is determined to make a difference."
He and Dr. Don Funes head groups which
have recently been recognized as Artists in
Residence. Amoaku's group is Sankofa.
In addition to their classes on campus, they
putin time atelementary and junior high schools
—sometimes doing four assemblies in a day—
telling children in the area that CSUSM has
something different to offer them.
"This is the most forward-looking university
administration that I have had a chance to work
with. On the campus itself the General Education requirements are so unique," Amoaku said,
"You don't find those in any other institution.
These requirements are notjust to fulfill college
credits.
"The world that we are looking atrightnow,
the next century is not going to be a world that
is pigeon-holed . .. if you're in business, it's
going to have to be global business. If the
company has to deal with a company in Africa,
and you don't know anything about Africa, (you
will be at a definite disadvantage)."
Bonnie Biggs, Coordinator of Public ser-
vices at CSUSM, believes in these "goodwill
ambassadors," with their forms of non-traditional music.
"Whereother universities have artists in residence, they are mostly concerned with traditional jazz or classical music," she said. "These
are Anglo-Saxon ensembles which are very
likely to perform a Chopin
polonaise; whereas the ensembles which Funes and
Amoaku direct are not elitist, producing sounds less
familiar to audience members.
"The music is also inclusive, inviting the audiA R T / M U S I C ence to join in the performance withclapping, singing or dancing."
"Jazz in its present form is only related to
Africa in its rhythmic structure, by harmonic
structure it is not African," Amoako said. "When
most traditional Africans hear jazz they are not
really able to relate to it in its present form. Only
the sophisticated are able to relate to it - they
relate to those jazz styles which imply movement components or dance components.
44
The thing about African music is that there
is always movement implied in the music. There
is no definition for music, per se. The definition
for dance is the definition for music, no distinction. Music coming to Africa from abroad that
has that component of movement is very well
received.
After Amoaku got his masters degree in
Illinois he went back to Ghana. He taught at the
University of Ghana for two years. But he had
tasted the life here, and had been very active

here, and felt that the change of lifestyle was
retarding his growth.
"I received a fellowship from the University
of Pittsburgh to enroll in the doctoral program.
I transferred some credits from U of Ghana in
1973 andfinishedmy doctorate in 1975.1 was
the first doctoral student at Pittsburgh in
Ethnomusicology.
Amoaku said that he has met with resistance
in the past with regard to multicultural programs.
"I've been in higher education in the United
States for at least 18 years - spent most of my
time in historically black institutions. (What)
surprised me (was) the lukewarm response
among academia in those days, about Africa. I
was an outsider, they'd rather have an AfricanAmerican in that position than an African.
"In spite of what I had to offer, no one was
interested. And this was the Harvard or the Yale
of the black institutions. What I have faced in
this country as an African... who has survived
in the system, is that I find more rejection in
certain segments of my own people in visual and
performing arts where we are supposed to have
most of our Africanisms retained.
"We (the university) are differentfromeveryone else," this is our focus, multicultural,
respect for all culturéis in the world, we are
determined to break down all those racial and
cultural barriers so that we can learnfromeach
other's cultures, that is basically what this whole
thing is about.
"There aren't many universities in the world
where you'll find a program of this nature where you actually have artists in c idence who
receive some stipend just to promote the university mission and to enhance the cultural

Pioneer editorship to change hands as founders leave
For thefirsttime in Cal State San Marcos' history, the leadership
of the student newspaper will change with the appointment of a new
Editor-in-Chief.
Larry Boisjolie, who co-founded Pioneer in 1990 and has served
as Editor-in-Chief since then, will step down at the end of this
semester when he graduates from CSUSM. Jonathan Young, cofounder and Graphics Director, will also leave the publication.
Replacing Boisjolie is Roman S. Koenig, who served as Editor-inChief at Palomar College's The Telescope for two years. He is
currently attending CSUSM, majoring in Political Science, and has
worked with Pioneer for the past semester.
"This is a major turning point for Pioneer and the university," said
Young. "Pioneer has earned therightto be called the 'Best Weekly
College Newspaper is California.' Now the staff that elevated the
publication to that status is leaving. It's sad to see an era come to an
end. It's also exciting because a new erais" about to begin. I look
forward to the new ideas and concepts that the new staff and editor will
be bringing to CSUSM."
"I am very proud to have been chosen as Larry's successor," said
Koenig. "It feels good to know that both Larry and Jonathan have the
confidence in me to carry on the tradition of excellence established by
the two of them beginning in 1990. All three of us have worked together
at The Telescope before, so I really feel at home coming to Pioneer."
"Choosing a new editor is a difficult task," Young said. "But we
knew that if Roman accepted the position, we would not have to worry
about the newspaper's future."
Boisjolie's plans include obtaining a writing position with a
newspaper and possibly leaving the state. Young will remain in the area
and serve as a consultant to Pioneer.
With a staff of 25 students at one time, Pioneer has published 35
issues with two special sections in the past five semesters. Pioneer's
staff also organized and hosted the 1992 California Intercollegiate
Press Association Convention in April, a four-day conference which
approximately 500 students from California and Nevada attended.
"Attending a university like Cal State San Marcos is a once-in-alifetime experience, and l ean assure the students and staff of CSUSM
that Pioneer will continue to provide the campus with a college
newspaper that isfirstrate " Koenig said.
�C ommittee W f orms
A new group has formed at Cal State San Marcos called Committee
W. The purpose of the organization is to foster balance, professional
success, effectiveness, personal growth and well being; and to provide
a voice for women's issues and concerns. All students, staff, faculty and
administrators are invited to become members.
Membership dues are $5 for students and $15 for non-students paid
annually. This year, send checks made out to Committee W to Judy
Taylor in Human Resources Management.
For students who are interested in nominating a student to serve for
one semester on the Executive Board, contact Patti Elenz-Martin in
Student Developmental Services, Room 2-203, or call 752-4935.
T ransferring s tudents i ncrease
Continuing to meets its commitment to transfer students under
California's higher education master plan, the California State University enrolls and graduates more community college transfer students
than any other public senior institution in the state.
The CSU awarded 80 percent of the baccalaureate degrees earned by
students who transfered from a community college to a public senior
institution between 1981 and 1990.
At Cal State San Marcos, 27 percent of the population is transfer
students from Palomar College with 11 percent coming from MiraCosta
College. Miramar and Mesa colleges are also major feeders to the
campus.
'The CSU has a commitment not only to enroll significant numbers
of community college students, but to graduate them," said Harold
Haak, CSU interim senior vice chancellor, academic affairs. "While it's
always possible to. do better, we believe we are doing a good job of
bringing the students into the system and then helping them make their
way out."

Honors position filled as
grievance policy finalized
LARRY BOiSJOLIE/PiONEER
Founding Faculty member K.
Brooks Reid was officially appointed
to the position of Honors Committee
Chair Wednesday following recent
protests by Associated Student
President Laura Mitchell.
Mitchell, who spoke at a Nov. 11
meeting of the Academic Senate,
based her protests on two complaints
filed by students who alleged that
Reid demonstrated a bias toward males
in his classes. The action spurred concerns and action over the absence of a
student grievance procedure at
CSUSM.
Currently , the Academic Senate is
finalizing a plan to air student grievances. Provisions outlining disciplinary measures resulting from upheld
grievances still need to be written into
the plan.
The Academic Senate is expected
to finalize the plan by the next meeting of the organization on Dec. 9.
"I think it is a mistake making the
appointment beforeagrievance policy
is finalized," Mitchell said. "It sends
a bad message to students about what
this university is all about."
On Friday Nov. 13, students spoke
out in favor of Reid at the Associated
Student Council meeting.
At the meeting, Mitchell also presented a resolution to the council
protesting the lack of a university
grievance policy.
The resolution states that students
will not recognize appointments like
Reid's if student input is not considered.
The council agreed that the proposal needed refinement before official action would be taken. The resolution was sent back to an executive
committee for rewording.
Last Tuesday, 30-35 students and
about 10 staff members met with
Mitchell, Academic Vice President
Richard Millman, Vice President of
Student Affairs Ernest Zomalt and
President of the Academic Senate
Edward Thompson III to openly discuss a student grievance policy.
According to Mathematics student
Chuck Ward, who attended the
meeting, the discussion concentrated
on student concerns over the grievance
policy and dealt little with complaints
against Reid.
Kelley Gebbie, a former student of
Reid's and a member of the Math
Club that the Founding Faculty member sponsors, said she sees no evidence
that the instructor practices sexual
bias toward males.
"I think he's a very good and very
tough instructor," Gebbie said.
"Tough doesn't mean he's sexist"
Gebbie said she thinks that Reid is
being used as a scapegoat for student
grievance policies.
Ward, who has taken Reid for
several classes, said that the instructor got caught in the middle of a
situation that has careened out of
control.
"Brooks Reid didn't have anything
to do with what Laura (Mitchell)
wanted to accomplish " Ward said.
"Nothing worthwhile is ever achieved
through the spilled blood of someone
who shouldn't have had blood
spilled."
Ward said, that by bringing up
unsubstantiatedcharges of sexual bias
at the Academic Senate meeting,
Mitchell acted as judge, jury and
prosecutor for Reid.
Those accused of crimes in this
country are presumed innocent until
proven guilty. Ward said this construct
does not apply with charges of sexual
discrimination.
Ward said that he saw no evidence
of sexual bias toward males in Reid's
classes. He said if bias were a factor
than he probably would have gotten
better grades.
"Hejust doesn't operate that way,"
said Ward. "That kind of behavior is
beneath him. He eats drinks and sleeps
mathematics and tennis."
Mitchell said Reid is not being
singled out to help speed up the formation of a grievance policy.
"I don't know the man," Mitchell
said. "He is not my focus."
Gebbie said that the complaints
charging sexual bias may have been a
reflection of socially ingrained perception of mathematics.
She said that women have been
traditionally raised to be not inclined
toward math.
Women students in the class may
unknowingly have carried that bias to
class with them and assumed a bias
where none existed, said Gebbie.
She said she saw no indication that
Reid subscribed to that traditional
sociological bias.
"I didn'tfindhim sexist in class,"
Gebbie said. "I found him to be brilliant."

Mitchell said. "If Rob does bring one
to our meeting, it probably would not
be looked at favorably."
If no alternative is found, then the
dence helps to offset the cost of that
link by supporting the role of the
musicians in his group Sankofa. The
stipend also helps to present the university mission to the people, which
is one of the primary aims of CSUSM.
"For me Sankofa is a mode of
expression and what I do in Sankofa,
I also do in the classroom, so Sankofa
is simply an extension of my academic activities. That is why I think it
is very important that this group be
maintained—both the Andean group
and Sankofa.
"A Hispanic can identify with the
Andean group. And if an African or
an African-American can hear
Sankofa and identify something that
is meaningful to him, then this campus is his home."
College Republicans will face the
same dilemma again next semester.
"If the alternative non-discrimination statement is allowed for any
club to sign, then this whole controversy is over," Christensen said. "If it
is not and the problem is going to
continue to exist, the college republicans are going to have to deal with

Since Christensen is graduating at
the end of this semester, he will not be
able to work with those dealings.

��Contemplating journalistic ethics, discrimination
I came to journalism five years ago in a quest
for truth.
Before my return to college I was a manager
fen: a grocery store. I was dumbly happy and
making a lot of money, until I was unfairly
proclaimed as "guilty" by a polygraph of a theft
I did not commit
Needless to say, I was crushed. It is difficult
to comprehend the sanctity and fragility of our
own reputations until we find them squashed by
functions beyond our control. Humans are
creatures of dignity. Once that dignity i s
breached, irreparable damage may be done to
the precious self.
My psychiatrist said I came to journalism to
find truth and to protect others from the damages
of harmful falsities. Until last issue of Pioneer,
I felt I had taken great steps toward the
achievement of my goals.
In the last issue I penned a story about a
conflict over student grievance policies. The
issue arose during the Academic Senate's recommendation proceedings of Founding Faculty
member K. Brooks Reid to the position of
Honors Committee Chairman.
Associated Students President Laura Mitchell
protested the recommendation because student
complaints over the instructor were not taken
into account Apparently, some students alleged
thatReid showed favoritism toward males in his
classes.
What bothers me about this whole situation
is the willingness of many to condemn Reid and
proclaim his guilt The man has contributed an
enormous amount of academic energy to the
foundation of this university, yet people are
willing to denounce him based on what could

very well be student misperceptions.
The saying that "you cannot please all of the
people all of the time" holds especially true for
the thankless jobs of college professors who
must instruct classes filled with up to 4 0 separate eager-to-learn individuals.
I would guess that there is not one instructor
in this entire university who has received all
favorable responses from students. Many instructors have even had a few complaints filed
by students who were not satisfied with their
grades.
The underlying problem with the whole
situation rested in the lack of a student grievance
policy. Mitchell was correct in challenging a
system which overlooked the needs of students
so callously.
Grievance policies protect students from
tyrannical professors who score students in
manners contrary to the ethical doctrines of
higher education. They also protect instructors
from character assassination by dissatisfied
students.
xThe Academic Senate^pushed the forming of
a g rieyi^e g pl^y^i^faritqq l png.It^oniy
a matter of time before the issue manifested
itself as a tangible and uncomfortable situation.
The situation, in this instance, became problematic when fliers were posted about campus
denouncing the Academic Senate's recommendation for the Honors Committee. These fliers
bred the assumption of guilt-by-twisted-logic to
an unknowledgeable student population.
The kind of logical connections made by
flier readers progressed as follows:
The university had no grievance policy in
place to air legitimate student concerns; therefore the university represented an anti-student
constituency; so if the university recommends
someone to a position of honor, that person must
be anti-student because, by inference, all university decisions are anti-student ones. Since
the university recommended someone to a position of honor without taking into account student
complaints (which are assumed legitimate because the university did not consider them and
by nature the university i s anti-student s o
nonconsidpration by the university equals legitimacy) that person must thusly represent the
university and be, in conclusion, guilty of crimes
against students because he has two complaints
filed against him.
Such a logical paradigm is paranoiac and not
constructive to this university's goals and
functions. It disquiets me when students assume
an adversarial position against an institution
formed solely for their personal betterment
The fliers distributed around campus and a
table asking for student signatures may have
been advanced because of the lack of a grievance
policy, but they showed little regard for the
These implements irresponsibly assume guilt
and hold Reid as a type of sacrificial lamb over
the altar of student concerns.
I believe that the integrity of one individual

Reid was recommended for the Honors Chair
position because nobody else wanted the job.
He has already invested a great deal of time in
the formation of a program without receiving
formal recognition. He is the logical choice for
the position and should be considered heavily.
If he gains that post, in which he has already
served, than it is because of his merits and not
because of a university conspiracy. Richard
Millman, CSUSM's academic vice president
held a forum to air student concerns and has
vowed to take student input under consideration.
I do not apologize for my treatment of last
issue's story. I toiled a great deal over the work
to represent fairly all parties to the best of my
journalistic abilities. Still, it disturbs me when
people make harmful judgements without due
process of law based, in part, on information
received through one of my stories.
It is not my place as a journalist to tell people
not to make judgements based on my conveyance of information; but when the sanctity of a
man's reputation is breached without factual
discourse, then I must object
If this situation ends with the formation of a
grievance policy, all parties represented in this
university will benefit If Reid is improperly

Student voice in jeopardy
Students beware, your voice is in jeopardy!
Your studentbody president is malcing decisions
for you, focusing on the negative.
After attending a recent student meeting with
your student body president, I'm perplexed.
Does the student government represent student
voice on campus, of has a special interest group,
an associated students "club" organized?
When a classmate offers an opinion in an
open forum, and is told by the student body
president, "Speak to me in private," I become
concerned. When three valued members of the
university each address an issue, and try to
approach a discussion in a positive manner, and
the whiner continues to express negativity,
monopolizing the agenda, I become anhoyed.
In my opinion, when the president of the
student body cannot represent majority interest
in a legitimate, genuine manner, the openness
and caring of this university are jeopardized.
I wish the president of the student body and
her colleagues would reread the Mission Statement in their catalog. Trust is a major issue here,
and I urge each of you to make your voice
known. Let our president, faculty and fellow
students know that examining issues can be
discussed in a professional, positive manna*, in
an arena conducive to what CSU is all about

California is a state on the move
. .. literally.
In the aftershock of June's twin
temblors andFriday'sBigBearquake,
concerns over earthquakes are high
throughout the state and millions now
live in fear that the "big one" will
come and leave their lives in ruin.
Dr, Steven Spear, associate professor in Earth Sciences at Palomar, is
a nearby expert on earthquakes who
predicts the "big one" is due any time.
"It will hit sometime in the morning during the spring between Anza
and Palmdale."
According to Spear, the quake will
take place along the San Andreas fault
and will range from 8.0 to 8.5 on the
Richter scale.

San Diego County. But even though
the q uakes stirred many a sound
sleeper, they were not deemed as " big"
quakes.
"Anything over 7.5 is considered a
large quake," Spear said.
In urban areas, a quake ranging
from 5.5 to 7.5 has the potential to be
dangerous. Buildings built before
1971 were not subjected to the strict
building regulations that are imposed
today.
"San Diego won* tbe as affected as
other places in the event of a major
earthquake," Spear said. The Whittier
quake in 1987 caused much damage
because buildings were older.
Spear doesn't believe that San
Diego will be the site of the "big one"
because the ,area has a lack of large,
active fault lines.'
"The nearest big fault is the San
Jacinto fault with the nearest point to
San Diego m Borrego. A big quakeon

however, I don't see it doing much
damage here," said Spear.

which s eismologists n amed the
Landers earthquake after a tiny hamlet near the epicenter, had a preliminary magnitude of 7.4, the third biggest quake of the century in California. Only a 1952 Kern County quake
measured at 7.7, and the 1906 San
Francisco quake estimated at 7 .9 to
8.3 outrank it.
By comparison, the October 1989
Loma Prieta, or World Series, quake
had a magnitude of 7.1.
One fault ofconcern to San Diegans
is the Rose Canyon fault, which is
responsible for several small quakes
in the area. The fault line runs parallel
to Interstate 5 and proceeds southward
into the downtown area of San Diego.
Due to the composition of the
ground in the downtown area, the
fault is potentially dangerous.

soil and loose ground," cited Spear.
"A quake at 6.5 could be disastrous."
He further points out that there is

Universal recreates the 'Big One'
The "Big one" is here — and it
arrived in a big way.
On March 18, 1989, Universal
Studios Hollywood opened a multidimensional special effects attraction
unlike any other ever created: a
spectacular 8.3 earthquake.
Imposing in scope and stunningly
dramatic, "Earthquake" represents the
world's first effort to recreate the most
shattering phenomenon in nature. The
o nly d ifferent b etween Mother
Nature* s efforts and those of Universal
is that tour guests will know their
rattler is coming and if they like, return to experience "Earthquake's"
thrills again.
On hand to introduce the new attraction in 1989 wereCharlton Heston,
Maijoe Gortner, Richard Roundtree
and Monica Lewis, stars of the 1974
Universal feature, "Earthquake."
In slightly more than two minutes,
200 times a day, seven days a week,
^Universal literally collapses the earth
under tram-loads of people, trapping
them in a murky netherworld of felled
telephone p oles, sparking power
cables, deafening train wrecks, noxfious gases and a runaway big-rig
{crashed within inches of the tram
shooting its "highly flammable' contents at the passengers.
| According to "Earthquake's" producers, no detail has been overlooked
in Universal Studios Hollywood's
^cataclysmic creation. Housed in a
¿gargantuan 25,000-foot sound stage,
¿the set even includes the omnipresent
sounds of big city evening traffic.
When the quake actually strikes,
travelers view flickering lights resulting from power outages and experience the bone-rattling jolts from a
twisting, shaking tram. All the while,
they're dodging concrete columns
tumbling between the tram cars.
In reality, "Earthquake" is.a care-
fully staged "natural" phenomenon
utilizing state-of-the-art, newly created techniques to baffle and delight
visitors caught in this tram temblor.
It's been made possible by massive
steel pilings sunk 25-feet into the
ground and locked together by beams
weighing 8,000 pounds each which
enable the set to withstand the quake's
600,000-pounds of force.
Exhaustive tests by top engineers
have been conducted on all aspects of
the attraction. Each minute detail has
been considered by the engineers and
then tested and retested utilizing everything from miniaturized scale
models to simulators to determine all
conceivable forces experienced.
Naturally, the entire structure is
constructed s o Universal Studios
Hollywood's visitors can survive a
quake — of the genuine variety that
occur periodically in Southern California.

Local Cafe really rocks
B y DJ2BBY D UFFY
PIONEER STAFF WRITER
If you're looking for what's really shaking in entertainment and
food, The Earthquake Cafe, in San
Marcos, is the "Big One" you've
been awaiting.
People entering the Earthquake
are immediately greeted with friendly
enthusiasm.
The decor is 50s-sty le with bright
pink and lime green as the primary
colors. Stools, surrounding an oldfashioned soda shop counter, stand
on a black and white checkered floor
created just for dancing. Tables and
booths fill the main dining area and,
if one chooses to sit outside, there is
a covered, heated patio.
When I looked at the menu, I was
shaken by the many items listed. The
waitress suggested I try some of the
Cafe's popular favorites.
I started with the Crispy Fried
Onion Strings. Sweet, thin Onions
are delicately fried to a light crispness
that makes the taste buds tremble
with excitement.
My companions and I decided to
try the Tangshan Spring Rolls as
another tempting appetizer. The
treats were s o unusual, we needed
coaching by the waitress on how to
eat them . We took a spring roll,
added ground peppers, celantro and
Szechwan sauce and wrapped the
works in a lettuce leaf. Few treats are
as scrumptious as this.
For a main course, my partners
ordered a French Trench, which
containsa wonderfully large amount
of roast beef and Jack cheese on a
French roll. The dish is served with a
side of Au Jus and horseradish sauce.
I split a Chilean BJackenedChicken Sandwich with one of my
companions. The course contains a
tender breast of chicken sprinkled
with Cajun sauce. Lettuce, tomatoes,
jack cheese and green chiles are
added to the chicken and served on
sourdough bread.
The meals come with curly fries,
sprinkled with a seasoned salt that
added spice to the traditional fry we
were expecting.
The milk shakes are dispensed
the old-fashioned way, with extra
portions served on the side. They are
delicious and caused me to rattle
with excitement.
Everything on the Earthquake's
menu is creative and different. Even
the names of the selections have an
earth-shaking jolt to them.
Food at the Earthquake Cafe is
exceptionally delicious, although the
prices can cause even the sturdiest of
pocketbooks to quiver a bit. The
service is enthusiastic and friendly,
Jonathan Young/Pioneer
and the atmosphere is resplendent.
The Earthquake Cafe is located in Old California Restaurant Row in San Marcos.

for a large one there is low.
Near the San Onofre nuclear power
plant lies the Christianitos fault Although the fault hasn't moved in
400,000 years, evidence of earth
movement is clearly visible.
'There are hundreds of faults in
North County," Spear said. "However,
it is built between major fault zones
on solid ground."
In theeventofanearthquake,Spear
said there is little to be done.
"The time to act is within the first
lew seconds of the quake, getting
under a doorway is great in theory,
but once the earthquake is underway,
it is very difficult to move. It is best to
stay where you are."
Spear advises that afterwards it is
best to stay "indoors if you are indoors
when the quake strikes and outdoors
if you are outdoors." Aftershocks are
likely to hit, so moving may be hazardous.
Being prepared when an earthquake strikes is the most important
element in avoiding injuries. Spear
advised that all people think ahead
and prepare in advance for a quake.
'There are things you can do to
minimize quakedamage," Spear said.
"First, live away from fault zones."
Shock waves come from the focus of
a quake which is located somewhere
along the fault line. As the distance
from the focus increases, the intensity
of the shock waves decreases.
North County is not close to any
major faults so, according to Spear,
residents are relatively safefrom major
earthquakes.
. Next, Spear suggests that houses
not be built on flat land.
"Flat land is flat because it is
composed of loose sediment, sand or
gravel. These components vibrate
much more and increase quake intensity."
June's Big Bear quake may have
been larger in magnitude than was the
Landers quake, but the flat land of the
desert propagated more damage than
the mountainous terrain.
Downtown San Diego is also built
on loose ground and stands a greater
chance of sustaining damage in the
event of a major quake than North
County, which is built on granite.
Another danger, although rare,
associated with loose sediment is
ground liquefaction. During a major
quake, vibrations can cause loose
ground to actually liquify. Ground
liquefac tion was noted in the intensely
fatal Mexico City quake.
y4.G
"Live in a decent house," Spear
urged. "Adobe, brick and masonry
homes can fall apart during a quake.
The brick and cement which holds it
together vibrate at different frequencies. The difference in vibrations can
cause a home to literally break apart."
Brick houses built after 1971 have
metal reinforcing due to stricter
building codes. These houses are safer
than non-reinforced houses and stand
less of a chance of breaking up.
Wood houses are the best due to
flexibility. Wood vibrates in a more
uniform manner than does adobe or
masonry, thereby minimizing structural damage.
Even though the fairytale pig with
the brick house was safe from the big
bad wolf, the pig with the wood house
would fare best from the big one.
"Avoid high shelving or placing
heavy objects high," Spear advised.
"I myself am guilty of having stereo
speakers high on my wall."
In the event of a quake, heavy
objects tend to topple from shelves
due to a high center of gravity. It is
best to keep heavier objects closer to
the ground where less damage can be
done.
"Finally," said Spear, "have a
flashlight and a family plan ready.

pipes and cause mud to seep into the
lines," Spear advised.
In explaining earthquake causes,
Spear relates the Earth to an egg. "The
crust is like the shell of an egg, the
mantle is like the white and the core is
like the yolk.
'The mantle (white) moves slowly,
constantly and builds stresses which
cause the crust (shell) to break. The
crust is composed of plates that connect at fault lines."
When an earthquake occurs, the
entire plate doesn't move; rather, it
pivots on a point Thepoint of pivoting
is known as the focus.
"Quake intensity is measured by
the depth of the focus and the distance
to theepicenter. Rock type and ground
water also contribute to intensity,"
Spear said.
The goal of seismologists is to
predict earthquakes with the same
accuracy with which meteorologists
predict weather. As of yet, that goal
has not been realized.
"Most common earthquake signs
have been noticed only after the fact.
Radon emissions from ground water
are usually higher. Tidal pulls are also
a contributing factor," cited Spear.
Earthquakes also occur with a fairly
consistent frequency. Many predict
the San Andreas is ready to erupt
based on this factor.
Due to theseelements, some quakes
have been predicted within a month
ofactivity. As of yet, however, regular
accuracy in prediction has not been
reached.
"It may be dangerous to accurately
predict earthquakes," Spear said. "I
can envision panic arising out of the
news of a large upcoming quake."
Nevertheless, Spear believes a "big
one" is due.
At nearby Palomar College, a
seismograph i s used to measure
Richter scale readings of larger
tremors throughout the world
'The Richter scale is a reading of
energy released at the focus," Spear
said. "Each step on the scale is ten
times higher than the previous step. A
6.5 quake releases more energy than
all the nuclear energy in the world."
The Palomar seismograph is capable of picking up any earthquake in
the world over 5.0. A complete record
is kept of all the larger quakes.
"The seismograph here is the best
in thecounty," Spear said "It is located
further away from freeway noises and
vibrations than others."
Spear also is a member o f the
California Earthquake society. The
private club takes a semi-humorous
approach to quake study and offers,
among other things, therightto attend
the earthquake of your choice.
If the "big one" is the quake you
least want to attend, you are likely to
be safe. It most likely won't happen in
North County.

MALCOLM
It's beginning to look a lot like
Christmas, everywhere you go—even
on stage.
Local theaters are preparing for
another year of Christmas classic tales,
from "A Christmas Carol" to the
'"Nutcracker." To give you an idea of
what's coming, hare's a list of North
County events.
C hristmas C arol
Charles Dickens' classic tale is
almost as old as Christmas itself. Theater-goers will have the opportunity
this year to see a traditional version
and some adaptations:
• The San Diego Repertory Theatre enters its 17th year presenting
Dickens classic, and again the theater
company has revised its unique adaptation. This year's show includes a
10-voice gospel choir and a live band.
The Rep's show starts Dec. 3 and
will run through Dec. 26 with 8 p.m.
performances Tuesday through Saturday and performances at 2 and 7
p.m. on Sunday; there will be no show
on Christmas. Tickets are $16-$25.
For more information, call 235-8025.
• The only traditional version of
"A Christmas Carol" is being presented by the South Coast Repertory,
based in Costa Mesa. Hal Landon Jr.
plays Scrooge in the 13th annual show.
Previews are Dec. 1-6.
The show's regular run is From
Dec. 7 through Dec. 27. Ticket prices
range from $12 to $27 depending on
the seats and week. Call 714-9574033 for more information.
• The renowned mimic is back
with"Rich Little's Christmas Carol."
Chris Little, his brother, plays Scrooge
as Rich plays the remaining cast
members. It's a big-name show with
a big ¡Mice, but a short run.
The show plays Dec. 2 and 3 at the
McCallum Theater in Palm Desert.
Tickets are $65-$95. For more information, call 346-6505.
S pike Lee reaches
perfection with epic
J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
I didn't know much about Malcolm X last
week. Some critics even say that people who dress
in attire promoting the black leader don't know
the true man. But after seeing Spike Lee's
"Malcolm X" epic movie, I know everything there
is to know — plus a little more.
Lee's no-compromise film starts with Malcolm
Little — follows him from childhood, to being a
ruthless villain and eventually a prisoner, through
his conversion to Muslim where he changed his
last name to X and to the final confrontations with
the world a«d his own beliefs. The director does
thi£in a three-hour, 21-minute movie that leaves
no stone unturned, no detail omitted.
But the time frame doesn't hinder the megamovie. In fact, the film's length is needed to
adequately portray who Malcolm X really was
and is today.
Lee compares his movie to "JFK," an Oliver
Stone flick that received acclaim as a remarkable
film. Lee's comparison could be correct, in that
both movies tell a story in a documentary-style
dramatization. But "Malcolm X" goes beyond the
story of the late president — it goes beyond the
realm of any movie into a dimension that elevates
Lee's epic into an instant classic.
That's a lot of praise for one movie. But this
tale does more than the awarded "Silence of the
Lamb," the popular "Batman" series and even the
beloved "Beauty and the Beast."
" "Malcolm X" is a film that contains no flaws
and more importantly, what sets this movie apart
from the rest of the pack, this movie teaches a
lessen that everyone can learn from.
Malcolm X goes through several dramatic
changes in his lifetime — all of which are documented in this film. The most stirring segment is
when Mr. X rises in a power struggle within the
Nation of Islam — and then defies his colleagues
in a fierce rebellion.
At first, it seems that Lee spends too much film
time on the Islamic religion than on the title
character. But after a while, it becomes apparent
that all the information is of vital importance and
becomes clear and more relevant as the story
unfolds.
Because of the large dedication to the NOI,
audiences will not only see what Malcolm X said
and did, but also see why. In turn, you learn Mho
he is and what he believes, and not just what he
was and did.
Denzel Washington portrays Malcolm X with
conviction. There is no one in show business that
could have pulled off the part of well as Washington. At times, it becomes difficult to determine if
Lee's directing or Washington's acting is what
makes this production so exceptional.
If you have the time, see "Malcolm X" while it's
in the theater. It will be well worth it.
But if you are uncomfortable in those theater
seats, you might want to wait until it comes out on
video. Don't worry, you may lose the big-screen
advantage, but you won't lose the focus of
"Malcolm X" on the smaller television.

CSU Republicans denied club status
JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
On Friday, the Inter Club Council voted
almostunanimously not to recognize the College
Republicans as an official Cal State San Marcos
club because the political organization has refusedtosignarevisednon-discrimination policy.
One of the qualifications for receiving official club status is the signing of a non-discrimination policy. But the original policy the
College Republicans signed — as well as all
other clubs—was recently changed to include
a statement regarding sexual orientation.
Rob Christensen, president of the College
Republicans at CSUSM, refuses to sign the
revised non-discrimination policy citing personal
religious beliefs.
In its place, Christensen drafted a reworded
policy thatreadthe club would not discriminate
44
basedon university policy" and leaving out the
specific reference to sexual orientation. University policy also includes a non-discrimination
clause based on sexual orientation.
Christensen's draft is what the ICC rejected
Friday by a strong percentage.
44
The ICC discussed it and they really debated
about it," said Angela Lowder, Associated
Students liaison to the ICC. 'They felt it would
set a bad precedent. They did not accept Rob's
compromise."
With the vote, ICC vice chairwoman Dana
Bruce said the Council sent out a message
saying, "We are not going to let you change it
just for you. If all the clubs have to sign it, then
you have to sign i t" Bruce represents the Alternative Lifestyle Support Organization
(AX.S.O), a gay and lesbian support group on
campus.
"At the ICC meeting, as president of the
soccer club, I voted in support ofICC's decision,"
saidLaura Mitchell, who also serves as president
oftheA.S.44It(thepdicy)shouldnotbe amended
for just one club."
In response, Christensen said he would appeal the decision before the A.S. Council at this
Friday's meeting, warning that certain ramifications may ensue if they do not accept his
compromise.
44
It may not be good for the university to
prohibit us to participate in the university
community," he said in reference to the strong
Republican following in North County.
But Mitchell anticipates the A.S. Council
will uphold the decision made by the ICC.
44
There is a problem if you start making
amendments to it," she said 44This is the state-
ment, except of Rob's club, that all the clubs
agreed to sign."
" I think w e're being treated unfairly,"
Christensen continued. "We've compromised
some and they should compromise a little."
But Lowder countered by pointing out the
diversity of the 21-member Inter Club Council.
"They come to compromises really well. The
only problem so far has been this issue," Lowder
said.
Since the debates began several weeks ago,
rumors have been circulating saying that
Christensen's actions are not supported by his
own club and that the ICC was trying to remove
the Republicans from being active on campus.
44
We are a minority club," Christensen said
pointing out that CSUSM is a liberal campus.
"We have gotten flack from the l eft I'm not
worried about that. The thing that bothers me is
the ICC is trying not to allow us to be on campus.
They want to censor us and not allow us to
adequately communicate our views."
But several ICC members denied the allegations.
'
"I don't think anyone has wanted to kick out
the Republican club," Lowder said. "It's a

First sorority gets started on campus
With the second fraternity starting on campus, the women of Cal State San Marcos have
come together to create their own Greek organization as the Kappa Chi Omega sorority becomes established here.
"It seems like everybody is interested in
getting this thing going," said Charlene
Blaisdale, the chapter's secretary. "When we
started passing out flyers, everyone was really
excited."
The group officially formed last month and
received nearly 30 pledges.
"We started just because we need more life
on campus," President Denise Eliyas said as one
of the reasons for starting Kappa Chi Omega.
"Another reason is there is nothing for people to
get involved with unless they like the specific
clubs here.
44
Another reason is to make friendships.
There's no real way to meet people except in
class and sometimes that's difficult.
44
We just want to get together and have a
group of people we will know," Blaisdale continued. "We want something that will last outside of school and after college. It's not like high
school; college is a whole different ball game."
Blaisdalesummeditupby saying the sorority
would "promote sisterhood."
In the short time the group has been in
existence, they are already heavily involved in
community activities,
"Right now, were tryingtoget involved with
the retirement homes — visit them," Blaisdale
said. 44We want to brighten the elderly people's
day.
"We're also involved with Mealson Wheels."
Blaisdale said the members are currently being
trained for the voluntary positions. They will
work for Meals on Wheels twice a month.
"We want to give back to the community
what we get," Eliyas said.
Kappa Chi Omega is advised by Sandy Punch ,
careercenterdirector. "She offered and we took
her up on it," Eliyas said. "She's helped us
through a couple of rough spots. She basically
lets us go on our own, but she's there if we need
to bounce some ideas off of her."
Advising a Greek organization is not new to
Punch. She also serves as advisor for the Sigma
Phi Delta fraternity.
"Sigma Phi Delta? They're pretty gung ho
about us," Eliyas said. "We've done things with
them and we plan to do things in the future.
(Together) it's giving the students more of a
voice on campus."
The secondfraternityis just getting started.
Currently, the pledged sisters are going
through a pledge time. "It's a period of time
where they get to know us and we get to know
them," Eliyas said. "We're going through that
right now."
Part of the pledge time includes several
projects and tasks. Eliyas said one of those is to
come up with a sorority song. "Basically, it's
unity-forming tasks," she said.
H ie only qualifications are a 2.0 minimum
GPA and enrollment in at least six units.
44
This semester we're being pretty lenient,"
Eliyas said about the qualifications. "We're
tryingtorecruit people that have a good attitude
and can get along with others—people who are
willing to work as well as have fun."
"Right now, i t's more play-it-by-ear because
we're so new. We're making our criteria as we
g o/' Blaisdale said. "But we do want someone
who has a good attitude about life and a positive
outlook."
Out of the original sisters who pledged, only
19 have stayed with the sorority. Those students
who did not stay with Kappa Chi Omega were
not turned away, Eliyas said. They chose not to
join for personal or scheduling reasons.
At this time, the sorority is not accepting any
more pledges. For interested students who want
to join next semester, Eliyas said: "Set their
Wednesday evenings aside because that's when
we meet."

San Marcos campus plans for Tardeada
The Latino Association of Faculty and Staff and the California State
University's Hispanic Advisory Committee will host the first Tardeada.
The Tardeada, a rich cultural tradition where family andfriendscome
together to socialize, eat and dance, will be Nov. 21from4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
with a dance followingfrom7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
The Tardeada's goal is to introduce the new campus to the Latino
Community and raise funds for scholarships and enrichment activities
for Latino students. The evening will include entertainment, buffet
dinner, information about the University, and campus tours.
A contribution of $ 15 per person will reserve attendance. Contributions above that amount will go to the Latino Scholarship Fund. Checks
should be made payable to CSUSM Foundation/Tardeada and sent to
Jane Lynch, at university Advancement. Those who plan to attend may

Tenured layoffs rescinded by trustees
Tenured and tenured-track faculty will not be laid off this academic
year,CSU Chancellor Barry Munitz announced at the Board of Trustees
meeting, but he warned that layoffs are almost inevitable for 1993/94.
'There will be no layoffs of tenure and tenure-track faculty for this
year," Munitz said, "but all this buys us a transition year. I don't see how
we can avoid them for 1993/94 because it will be an equally difficult
year, we can't be optimistic about i t"
Layoff notices for the 1993/94 year could have to be sent in March
to take effect June 30,1993.
CSU seeks more land
The CSU will file.an application with the U.S. Department of
Education to acquire up to 2,000 acres of Fort Ord, an Army base near
Monterey destined for closure in two to three years.
The CSU would move the San Jose State off-campus center now in
Salinas to the new site, with the eventual goal of developing a fullservice campus of 25,000 FTE students by about 2015. The proposed
university would emphasize science, math, foreign languages and
international education.
Because it is considered surplus federal land, the property is expected
to cost California taxpayers little or nothing.
On-campus concerts planned
The arts and lectures program of Cal State San Marcos is hosting the
following concerts:
• The CSUSM Student Andean Ensemble will perform Dec. 1 at
noon in Room 14-102. Under the direction of CSUSM professor Don
Funes, the ensemble will perform musicfromBolivia, Ecuador and Peru

CSUSM professor Komla Amoaku, the ensemble will perform traditional West African music and dance.

On every desk it seems sits
an Apple Macintosh computer.
Secretaries have them. Administrators have them. Faculty and
staff members have them. And
now students have access to the
electronic medium.
And time after time, especially now, the E-mail system
is proving to be a strong asset to
the university.
A member of CSUSM can
send a message to another instantly through a computer
program which links all the
computers at the university. The
author can choose a location to
send it to, one specific person
or the entire campus community. And the latter has proved
to be quite powerful.
The power of the E-mail
became apparent April 29 when
the Los Angeles Times reported
that CSUSM would close. It
was the same day students received their registration packets and several potential faculty
members were involved in interviews.

More recently, communications
through the E-mail have propagated
two issues affecting all factions of
campus.
The f irst was a F ree Speech
movement centered around a Mission
Statement bulletin board located in
the Commons Building's Dome area
A number of people added their
comments and mini-editorials to the
E-mail files; everyone from students
to administrators was involved in the
communication.
"The discussion on the Mission
Statement Storyboard has raised my
eyebrows, and I feel the need to take
a second and comment," is how Anthony Dunn started his entry into the
six-page,double-sidedprintedvasion
of the E-mail debate.
Dunn's entry shows that this form
of communication is quick and easy.
" ... take a second.. . "is all it took for
Dunn.
It was then that the students tapped
into the power of the E-mail.
Just weeks lata*, that opportunity
is being used again as students and
other computer-bearing staffmembers
discuss the issue of no Grievance
Policy and the effects thereafter. In a
period of two days, five people had
added their comments to the communication string.
But with the recent issues being
made public through the E-mail, another debate comes to the forefront: Is
the E-mail considered a public forum
or should it be regulated?
"Ihavereadwithincreasingdismay
thediscussion on electronic mail about
an issue involving a specific professor. Public forums are just not the
appropriate place for a conversation
about a specific faculty member, staff

Millman, vice president of Academic/

Professor DavidAvalos responded:
"At what point should we be limited
from using the E-mail to communicate: three persons, four, four hundred?
"Could you please provide us with
a list of what your office considers
'appropriate' subjects for E-mail
communication,'' Avalos also asked.
As CSUSM strives to become the
university of the 20th century, the Email debates will truly challenge its
character and the lengths to which it
will go to ensure free speech.

Administration must
start listening to the
student voice, concerns
Cal State San Marcos President Bill Stacy told the first
class that they, the students, are why this campus is here.
He expressed his enthusiasm and the years of preparation
was finally rewarded as the university accepted its first
students.
But in the first three years of CSUSM, the administration here has lost sight of Stacy's exciting vision. The
university has set a precedent of not listening to the student
population on key issues and is now not treating the student
voice with the respect and professionalism it deserves.
O UR VIEWS
Feminist movement with a new twist
Before you read this editorial, I think it is important that you
understand my position on the women's movement
I believe that women have and are currently not given the same
opportunities in this world aswhite men. Women are smarter and
possess a greater depth of understanding than men (generally
speaking).
I do not believe, however, that women are better than men. I do
not think that men are better than women either. Both sexes
represent unique parts of what should be an equal race.
The Mission Statement at CSUSM advocates global and gender
sensitivity. Unfortunately, some women have interpreted the Mission Statement as a declaration of war upon white males.
I continually see a disturbing trend toward militant feminism
with students at this university that Ifindto be socially dangerous.
Many are falsely led to believe that the extreme, male-hating fringe
of the feminist movement represents a status quo of feminism.
The movement suggests that all males are gynephobic, or
harbor a natural and complete contempt for women. Gynephobic
males are subconsciously certain that women will someday rise up
and knock them off their throne of social dominance. They have a
universal contempt for women that is socially and possibly genetically ingrained in their beings.
As a result males will continue to degrade women in order to
shackle them to the lower rungs of the social ladder. Every move
a man makes is intended to subdue and degrade women. Certainly
there must be some exceptions to the rule of universal gynephobia.
I'm sure there are more than a couple gynephobic males
climbing the ivory towers of corporate America I am also certain
that such men represent as small afractionof society as the militant
feminists.
Yet, there is an indication in this university that most women
should blame men for all social problems and rise up against them.
Some women are possessed with gandrynoia, a fear that behind
every bush or societal construct lurks a contemptuous male animal.
The problem with the militant feminist philosophy lies in its
extreme hatred toward males.
I remember seeing a militant feminist film in class where
women justified murdering males only because they were males.
Although the instructor said she did not advocate such actions nor
support this kind of extremist feminism, the approval rating of the
movieby women in the class was shockingly high.

I doubt it would

This university should in no way support or encourage its
instructors to advocate a militant feminist philosophy just as it
should not support endorsing the skinhead movement or sexual
discrimination. Hatred is wrong regardless of where it may be
directed.
An instructor who advocates racism would be relieved of
teaching responsibilities at this university. So should an instructor
who advocates the violent fringe of the feminist movement.
Currently the radical feminist sector hides behind the doctrine
of Political Correctness for protection. The P.C. philosophy suggests that equality can be achieved only by establishing quotas and
undermining the historical impact of white males upon this society. lit suggests that no punishment is too great for the past
repressions executed by white males.
The P.C. movement inherently discriminates against white
males. It is fascism in its purest theoretical form. Anyone who does
not subscribe to P.C. rhetoric is automatically assumed to be a
bigot and a woman-hater. Its ability to accept and interpret actions
is no less subtle than McCarthyism.
Let us not confuse the aspirations of this university's Mission
Statement with the flawed, discriminatory doctrine of Political
Correctness. CSUSM's Mission Statement does not condone
discrimination toward anybody by any class of people. Contrary to
P.C. beliefs, this includes white males.
The greatest power of education lies in its ability to generate
I fwe & it this institution with the thought that all are equal except

STAFF
EDITORIAL
Students were caught off guard in 1990 when it was
reported that Student Evaluations of teachers were notread
by the administration. At that time, the Academic Senate
had not had the adequate amount of time to properly
prepare the evaluation forms to satisfaction; instead, the
submitted forms were returned to die teachers for their
personal growth.
Theadministration said theevaluations would be looked
at in future reviews. But have they? Inside sources say no.
Recently, the issue of free speech became prevalent
with the placement of the Mission Statement Day board.
Students were not consulted when the board was ordered
to be removed from die Dome area nor were the asked their
preference prior to the university's decision to appoint the
officialfreespeech area.
The students rose up with a force and power never
before seen at CSUSM. They wanted to be heard. In shock,
the administration stopped to listen. Now the issue is stuck
in committee—but the board is still standing in the Dome.
Last week, however, the administration refused to listen to the students' voice. In fact, the university is playing
a name-calling game and attacking student comments as
innuendo and hearsay.
How dare you. If the administration is not willing to
take the students concerns seriously, then how do you
expect the same respect back? How can you ignore the
complaints by trying to brush them aside with slanderous
remarks? It is even more astonishing when the issue is not
of voice orrights,but valid complaints of sexual discrimination.
This newest issue deals with the lack of a grievance |
policy. Because there is no such policy on campus, several
student complaints of sexual discrimination have been
buried, ignored or just tossed aside. If they would have
been handled with respect and professionalism of truly
concerned educators, then a grievance policy would have
been drafted. It would have been drafted then, not now
months later.
Slowly but surely, the administration's toss of student
interestisonaroll—andit's gaining speed. Stop! Get your
noses out of the architectural blueprints of this campus and
pay attention towhat you'rebuilding. This university must
revitalize its commitment to the students or there soon may
not be anyone interested in attending this fledgling campus.

FRED TRACEY/VISTA RESIDENT
Biblical beliefs don't
belong in sexual debates
In the last issue of Pioneer, Nov. 3, an article
by a professor Irving F. Davis appeared. For
those of you who may not have read it, you have
missed out on a virulent attack upon the gay,
lesbian and bi-sexual community that was inspired by nothing more than irrational
homophobia, ignorance, and blatant religious
bigotry.
The Alternative Lifestyles Support Organization, A.L.S.O, was accused of using Qxning
Out Day to, "espouse its homosexual views.*
Y OUR VIEWS
PUBLIC
FORUM
What Coming Out Day is all about, and what
AJL.S.O. was trying to accomplish, was simply
stating that we have a right to exist, to live out
our lives, and that there is nothing wrong with
who we are, but that the problem is rather with
individuals who want to persecute us because of
who we are.
Another fault with professor Davis' argument is that ours is a chosen lifestyle. He is only
partially correct I knewfromthe time that i was
12-years-old that I had homosexual feelings. To
me, and others like me, the only choice was
whether to accept these feelings, and forge
honest loving relationships with like minded
individuals, or to live a life of denial,filledwith
self hatred because of something I , or anyone,
has no control over, and that is our sexual
orientations. Those of you who aie purely heterosexual, who have never had any doubt over
your sexual orientation, can testify to this. It
would be as impossible for you to lead a happy
homosexual lifestyle as it was for me to lead a
happy heterosexual one!
The Constitution of the United States of
America states clearly thatfreedomof religion
shall be the law of the land, there in the First
Amendment. Yet at every turn various
homophobes are using their religious codes,
that of the Bible, to enforce their religious bias
against me, and claiming all along that theirs s
the traditional "American Views." By doing
this, these right wing fundamentalist are being
in essence, unconstitutional and un-American.
Furthermore, by claiming that the Bible has
more proven true for over 2,000 years us also a
fallacy, for this text claims that the Earth is flat,
and that it is only a mere 6,000 years old. Both
of these views have been proven untrue, along
with a whole host of others that would take too
long to detail, not to mention that the Bible
represents only one of the world's many diverse
religions.
Let us recognize what this professor Davis,
from another campus not this one I should add,
is proposing. This article he has written is filled
with nothing more than hatred. If you doubt this,
simply change the word "gay" to the word
"Jew," or "African American," and the bigotry
becomes obvious.
Let us not censor these views, instead let us
hold the pundits of these views accountable for
what they say and believe. Let us not attack
personally the holder of these views, but instead
limit our attack to the views themselves. Let us
recognize most of all, that this article was inspired by a fear born of ignorance.
When people are a ffronted by something
they don't understand!*they often feel afraid,
and this may cause them to lash out with any
weapon, either physical or ideological, that s

JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
Space, the final frontier.
As the voyages of the starship Enterprise
warp into its sixth season, its mission remains
intact as the television series goes where no
other syndicated show has gone before: No. 1.
"Star Trek: The Next Generation" has
finished as the top original program in
syndicated television for thefirstfour weeks
of this season. That performance puts the
sciencefictionspin-off of the original "Star
Trek" in the No. 6 slot against the major
networks, according to its studio, Paramount
"One of the reasons people are taking
notice is because for yet another year, there's
nothing that compares," Janeen Bjork, a
television sales programmer, told the Los
Angeles Times recently. "I mean, there's a
whole lot of action hours out there that try
and never come close."
A Paramount promotional clip boasts, "In
1991, the series sets record highs and is
blasting ahead of such shows as "Cheers,"
"L.A. Law" and the all-time network heavy
champion: Monday Night Football."
Star Trek was created by Gene
Roddenberry, who supervised thefirstthree
and only seasons for the original series. After
being cancelled in 1969 there was an array of
successful motion pictures, and Roddenberry
started up in 1986 with "The Next Generation."
After Roddenberry's death last year,
Executive Producers Rick Berman and
Michael Pillar have taken the helm and
continue to navigate the crew in search of
new life and civilizations.
But why has the sciencefictionshow
become so popular? There are many reasons,
one being a great following being built up
before "ST:TNG~even began.
"I think more than ever, as television
continues to change, and continues to give the
audience new and different types of programming, there's something wonderful about the
familiarity of Star Trek," Berman said in the
Times. "The familiarity of the show has
always been a key element"
The new Enterprise is truly similar to the
original series, but the new episodes contain
several elements that make it a distinct winner
over its predecessor. One of those factors is
there are families aboard the starship.
"(Star Trek) deals with a family of people
in a future that's much better than the
present," Berman said.
That family characteristic is what drew
Ronald Moore to the series. Moore, now
Co-Producer for the show, started his
Star Trek writing career four years
ago with an episode entitled "The
Bonding."
"I wanted to know what
happens on the Enterprise with
all these families. At that point,
"the series didn't deal too much
with the fact that there are all
these spouses and kids,"

little boy has his mother killed on

Moore told of his many dealings
with "ST:TNG" at San Diego's Star
Trek Convention last week. His stories
gave interesting insights into the science
fiction legend.
One special one for him was his collaboration on "First Contact," an episode where the
Enterprise crew meets a new civilization. His
contribution was that he changed the point of
view of the story p lot
"Instead of telling the story traditionally
from the point of view from die people on the
Enterprise, we told the entire storyfromthe
view of the aliens for a change," Moore said.
"It's an explanation of what i t's like when a
civilization is first visited by aliensfromouter
space who land and want to sleep with their
nurses."
Moore is credited with creating the
Klingon Empire starting with the "Sins of the
Father" episode. "It was the beginning of the
Klingon epic that I became associated with,"
he said.
The Klingons are a barbaric, ruthless
civilization bordering on Federation space. In
the original series and throughout five of the
six movies, the Klingons were enemies. In

There's a rule of thumb to
follow when rating Star Trek films.
The even-numbered ones are
top-of-the-pack action
adventures. The odd-numbered
ones suck moon dust
For some reason, the oddnumbered Trek films fail to capture
that essence which made the television
series so successful—the mixing of
endearing personalities with intergalactic
social problems.
"Star Trek: The Motion Picture," although
rich in special effects, was a universal bore.
The special effects were definitely out-ofthis-world, but the story dragged on two and a
half hours.
Filmed only a few years after "Star Wars,"
"Star Trek: The Motion Picture" is stuck on
the special effects trash barge. It concentrates
on lengthy shots of the unimaginable rather
than dwelling on the endearing characters that
made the television series so successful.
Still, it was good to see the old crew back
again after losing them to the great unknown
for over a decade. In comparison to many of
the other Trek flicks, "Star Trek: The Motion
Picture" lacks depth and originality. It tries to
speak to a basic issue of humanity through
glitz and not the characterizations that
Trekkies grew so fond of.
Three years later, in 1982, "Star Trek II:
The Wrath of Khan" hit the screens with a
power deserving of the series.
Thefilmplaces the ageless Ricardo
Montalban in the role of Kirk's superhuman
adversary Khan. Although Kirk had banished
Khan to a desolate planet many years ago, the
villain resurfaces with a vengeance.
"The Wrath of Khan" draws from Herman
Melville's "Moby Dick" in its depiction of
a man obsessed above all else to
conquer and destroy his lifelong
rival. In his quest to kill Kirk,
Khan sacrifices his chance

Worf s son Alexander, and the

also the writer who killed Kalar in
the series. "Everyone asks: 'Why

answered. He continued to explained that Kalar had a strong

�'Deep Space Nine1
continues saga of
Star Trek legend
JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER^
The next chapter of the Star Trek
legend is ready to beam aboard the
air waves. A bold, new series of
characters and adventures comes to
thefinalfrontier when "Star Trek:
Deep Space Nine" premiers.
Paramount studios will introduce
the newest Star Trek saga as a
continuation of "Star Trek: The
Next Generation." As the hit
syndicated television series enters
its sixth season at the top of the
charts, its future is still unknown.
That's where "Deep Space Nine"
comes in.
'There's going to be a lot of
crossover because it occurs in the
same time as 'The. Next Generation," a spokesman for Creation
Entertainment said. "In fact, in the
first episode, the Enterprise will be
bringing members of Deep Space
Nine to the space dock to take their
post there."
Deep Space Nine is an outpost in
a solar system inhabited by a
I civilization known as the Bajor. The'
Starfleet crew will occupy the space
station to bring peace between the
Bajoran society and its neighbors,
the Cardassians.
"We became aware of the
Bajoran society (in 'The Next
Generation'),"Creation said. "The
ancient world of Bajor is a star
system that will be of pivotal
importance.
"For the last century or so, the
Bajorans have been subjugated by
the evil Cardassians. We are
familiar with the Cardassians as
well and they are going to be the
new bad guy in the same way as the
Klingons and the Romulans. Now
it's going to be the Cardassians."
And if playing peacekeeper isn't
enough, the Federation cast has
another galaxy-size problem to deal
with.
'There is an amazing astronomical phenomenon located at the edge
of the Bajoran solar system: a stable
wormhole," Creation continued.
'This wormhole is unique in that it
is totally stable.
"So, the race is on to control the
wormhole."
'Travellers of all kinds are
drawn here, and with hostile alien
empires on all sides, Deep Space
Nine becomes the most strategic
post in the galaxy," Dan Madsen
said in Star Trek: The Official Fan
Club magazine.

most popular clubs.
For more information, contact the Associated Students office.
S.T.A.R.
The Star Trek Association for Revival club is the largest science
fiction society in the San Diego area. The club was founded in 1972
as a Star Trek club and has since expanded to become a general
sciencefictionclub with interests in fantasy, gaming costuming,
writing and films.
S.T.A.R. meets the third Saturday of every month at San Diego
State University. Each meeting has a different theme, from Star Trek
to Star Wars. Club business, entertainment, costume contests,
auctions, films and games are part of the monthly meetings.
With almost 100 active members, S.T.A.R. is open to anyone.
There is a $1 lifetime membership fee. To join, call 286-0377.
Starfleet
Based identical to the Federation of Planets organization portrayed in the Star Trek series, Starfleet is a national organization with
a local chapter called Shuttle Miramar.
Starfleet is a Star Trek fan club with a two-fold purpose: to
provide a vehicle for Star Trek-based entertainment; and a means for
those fans to do community service thus doing their part to bring
about the better future envisioned by Star Trek.
Members joins Starfleet, and earn officer rank by gaining points in
numerous ways. The local shuttle is relatively new and will be

focus geared towards the true meaning of Star Trek.
"We do what the original Star Trek was created to do," said
Timothy Dover, the founder of the local group. "What he want it to

The biggest fun of "The Wrath
of Khan" is the characters themselves. Captain Kirk is growing old
and in need of glasses and Spock
makes the greatest sacrifice of all,
his life, in the name of logic.
"The Wrath of Khan" may not be
the best Star Trek movie, but it is
my favorite because of the explosive dynamics between the characters. Unlike the first film, the
special effects are good, but not
overbearing.
In "Star Trek III: The Search for
Spock," Leonard Nimoy stepped
apart from his famous role into the
director's chair. If I led you to

"There are all kinds of new terms

Brooks' character already has a
grudge against his predecessor,
"Sisko was stationed aboard the

(Captain Picard as a Borg) came

Patrick Stewart will guest star in

Locutus, according to Madsen.
Stewart isn't the only "ST:TNG"

Their vehicle is a Klingon Bird of

All I will say about "Star Trek

worth the money it takes to rent the

whichmarked William Shatner's
directorial début, will be his last.
"Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered
Country" is probably the best of the
series.
This installment provides a
bridge between the old Trek series
and the Next Generation. It fulfills
its promise of finding the undiscovered country with its contemporary
and provocative twist on the
formulaic series.
Here the Klingons stop being the
enemies for the first time, in a
storyline that could have been
borrowed from the headlines as the
Eastern Bloc fell. This is the most
intelligent and applicable of all the
Trek films. It sends us the lesson
that peace is the most important
state achievable by any race of
beings.
"Star Trek VI" is supposed to be
the end of the series (just as Star
Trek V was before it). I can think of

Jazz reunion
rocks campus
JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEBT
Bonnie Biggs met two special
people several years ago: Kevyn and
Gunnar. Kevyn Lattau was an aspiring Jazz singer performing in Del
Mar. Gunnar was her base player.
Bonnie considers that night her
first date with Gunnar. Four years
later, Bonnie and Gunnar married.
Lattau sang at their wedding.
Now, the Biggs work at Cal State
San Marcos and Lattau became the
Jazz star and is now enjoying the
spotlight as she entersapfomotional
tour for her new album, "Simply
l ife."
The three Mends were reunited
last week as Bonnie introduced
Lattau before the singer electrified
GSUSM with her energetic Jazz
music.
Lattau established her credentials
as an experienced and truly talented
singer with "Prelude to a Kiss." With
only a soft accompaniment by Bill
Cantos on the piano, Lattau soothed
the audience and prepared them for a
memorable concert.
The entire band kicked in with an
adapted and energetic version of "I
get a Kick Out of You." Lattau
showed her amazing scattering in
this selection.
In the Cole Porter composition,
she took a Charlie Parker scatter solo
and matched its notes, style and
rhythm. Further, Lattau did what
would seem impossible: she added
lyrics to the complicated repertoire.
Lattau scaled the octaves with
ease. She had the speed of a fox an
her tone is as soft as rabbit's fur. It
definitely moved the audience.
"I pick music that moves me,"
Lattau said after her concert. " I
really don't like to define my style. I
like a lot of variety."
And she sings a wide selection of
music.— from Jazz, to Pop to Brazilian.
Besides numerous styles, Lattau
also has several messages in her
music. This becomes prevalent with
"Will They Know?", a song she
wrote.
"My goal is I want people to go

Artists in Residence
Ensemble brings music of Andes
as university's own performing group
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first of a twopart series about Artists in Residence.
A NITA MARCIEL WILLIAMS/PIONEER
Throughout Cal State San Marcos' brief
history as a university, the students have been
fortunate enough to participate in a rich array
of musical and theatrical events. Now, that
unique artistic experience has been expanded
as the university officially recognizes two
groups as being Artists in Residence.
To Bonnie Biggs, Coordinator of Public
Services, the title Artist in Residence proves
CSUSM's commitment to the arts, and to the
dissemination of information about, and the
performance of, the arts.
In other words, Biggs says, "We are
willing to share the goodies (with the whole
community)."
Also serving as the campus' librarian,
Biggs was hired to develop a cultural arts
program, even in the absence of musical
faculty.
"All librarians should be cultural archivists," she said. "We are responsible for
promoting the arts and creating venues for the
arts."
One of her recent programs includes
scheduling a performance by the new Artists
in Residence.
That group, the Cal State San Marcos
Andean Ensemble, will perform Dec. 1 at
noon in Room 14-102. Music presented will
be from Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru, performed on original instruments from the
region.
The ensemble is under the direction of Dr.
Don Funes, Professor of Visual and Performing Arts. He serves as one of the Artists in
Residence at CSUSM.
Both artists in residence, Funes and W.
Komla Amoaku, teach ethnomusicology, the
study of non-European music within a
sociocultural context They both have been
going to local schools, to "engage kids in the
activity," Biggs said.
Funes and Amoaku tell elementary, junior
high and high schools that CSUSM is their
school and that they, the students, are wanted
and expected to attend the new university.
Now, however, the distinction of Artist in
Residence will help fund these community
a

the C U M Andean Ensemble.
SS
Funes came here in 1989 from Northern
Illinois University, where he had been
chairman of the music department for 11
years. Funes asked Biggs to help him find
Peruvian or Bolivian musicians for him when
he arrived. Not an easy task, but musicians
were found who had an "affinity for the
music", says Biggs.
Both Funes and Amoaku have CSU
student ensembles made up of some students
"who have never held a
musical instrument in
their hands," Biggs said.
With funding cutbacks
in the area of public
schools, a child's normal
interest in music in the
early years goes unsatisfied for the most part, as
the arts are thefirstto be
c ut
ART/MUSIC
But with the presentations of Funes and
Amoaku, "It's magic to watch it happen —
the way these two instructors bring students
and audiences alive with the performance of
music," Biggs said. "It breaks down barriers
that other disciplines do not."
Funes says that he is in California, "trying
to empower the Latino children in the schools
— making a generally positive association
between the university and the community."
The outreach function is very real to
Funes; it is a part of the cultural life of both
the school and the community. This function
is aimed at the diversity of the population,
and includes going to the community colleges
and energizing and vitalizing the classes on
campus, by bringing his own group into
classes to teach, perform and conduct
workshops
Funes said that he was instrumental in
"mapping out a plan of action for how the arts
would grow here" and in the hiring of David
Avalos and Amaoku in his second year. He
helped write the mission statement for a
global arts program and is very involved with
his Andean music group Chasqui.
His philosophy is that the university doors
should swing both ways — professors need to
get off campus and we need to bring community people on campus — to honor traditional
music in thefieldand then to bring it back

said, "that could come into the classroom. They have expertise in their
own culture. They are what musicologists call 'informants* — they can
inform us about their culture. (It is)
more interesting to students to be informed from real informants rather
thanfrombooks, whenever possible.
"One of the reasons I started playing the music of Latin America,"
Funes continued, "was because I was
attracted to the Spanish language."
Because his family is Spanish (the
town of Funes is northeast of Madrid,
Spain) he was attracted to music that
was in Spanish.
"I met a musician from Peru and
the rest is history," he said. "I fell in
love with the music and the culture
and it must have resonated in my
psyche somewhere."
The Andean music his group
Chasqui plays includes Chilean and
Bolivian. "Most of my work's been
done in Bolivia and I was music director of a Bolivian group in Chicago for
six years," Funes said. "They taught
each other to play," he said.
"Bolivia is one of the most traditional countries in Latin America.
Seventy-five percent are Indian and
Mestizo... a lot of native people have
maintained traditions there, whereas
countries like Argentina and Chile
are essentially European countries.
English, Irish Catholics, Germans and
Italians, very few indigenous people,"
he said.
Actually, Funes says that it is not
he who is the Artist in Residence, but
rather the musicians who are considered artists in residence.
"I have my standard academic responsibility of teaching classes," he
explained. "So for me it hasn't elevated my status because I have always played concerts on campus."
But for the Artists in Residence,
it's given them a stature at the university, a recognition.
"Three of the musicians primarily
live by playing music," Funes said. "I
think it's also a very important signal
to the community they live in that the
university honors traditional artists,
that the university has a place for
traditional musicians whether they've
been trained in universities or not.
"And actually the music we all
p lay... there's only one or two places
in the United States where you can
even study this music," Funes said.
"The University of Texas, Florida
State University, University of Illinois and Cal State San Marcos are the
only schools I know of in the country
that have some kind of experience for
students in Andean music.
"We judge these musicians based
on the quality oftheir expression rather
than thequality of their degree or their
education. They're educated in the
field. They're educated within their
culture."
