Historic power outage affects millions Jenna Jauregui Co-Editor-in-Chief A hush fell over Cal State San Marcos last Thursday as every air conditioner, fluorescent light, and computer abruptly stopped working. The campus went dark around 3:30 p.m. when a highvoltage power line between Arizona and Southern California failed, leaving 1.4 million San Diego Gas and Electric customers suddenly without power. T he unprecedented outage affected millions o f people from Mexico to Orange County to parts o f Arizona. All electricity users, including stores, gas stations, schools, offices and residences were completely without power. Traffic gridlocked throughout the county as people tried to navigate the lightless intersections. Due to the initial mystery behind the outage_, the high volume o f commut- ers and crippled safety resources, county authorities declared the situation a local emergency. Because the sudden loss o f p ower affected such a massive area and occurred just before the lOth anniversary o f 9/11, many people were afraid the outage may have been a result o f another terrorist attack. S DG&E confirmed otherwise in a press statement released on Friday. " The p ower outage began with a major transmission outage in western Arizona that caused a loss o f power to southern California. Shortly afterward, the S an Onofre Generating Station went o ff line. As a resuJt, SDG&E did not have adequate resources on its system to keep power on across its service territory," SDG&E officials said. S DG&E announced at about 3:30 a.m. Friday morning that power had been restored to many o f its customers. C SUSM and San Diego State University, among 6 -9 p .m. A rts 2 40.

Last year, the team ended its regular season with a 10-2-5 record. Five players were selected to play for the A.I.I. Women's Soccer All-Conference Team with head coach, Ron Pulvers, named Coach o f the Year. The new season started on a high note as the NAIA announced in early September that the lady Cougars were ranked 15th in the nation. Game after game, the team proved what CSUSM women's soccer is all about.. Again, playing another game only three days later, the lady Cougars faced off in Fresno against Fresno Pacific. At first, the game was a toss up with both teams evenly matched. At the start o f the second half, the Cougars came off the bench hungry for a goal to keep their undefeated streak alive. Only minutes into the second half, freshman Courtney Kay scored 1he games only goal after Fresno's keeper lost the ball during a free kick from just outside the box by Shannon Cox. Kay's goal was icing on the cake as she celebrated her birthday and kept the Cougars at a solid 3-0 start. G amel G ame4 The season kicked off with an impressive 4-0 win verses Point Park. Last season's leading scorer, senior Lauren Johnson, opened the 2011-2012 season just sixteen minutes into the game with a goal o ff a c omer kick.

Photos By: Morgan Hall Kelly McLin When The CSUSM women's volleyball players hit the courts for practice in !-lunter gymnasium, the pride o f representing San Marcos will be the team's main drive to push them through all o f the hard work in its inaugural season. Cal State San Marcos announced last fall that the athletic department would be adding women's volleyball to the university's growing list o f sports offerings. The team was slowly starting to commit players and a coach before the start o f the fall season. The young team, made up o f ten freshmen, one sophomore, and five juniors, will play all home games at the Escondido High School gyni until a larger Gymnasium can be built on campus. " It is going to be a little hard to play home games off campus, but it's also amazing to think that Escondido supports us enough to let us use their gym," freshman Tayler Gomez said. One player does admit that being a part o f a first-year team and juggling class work does occasionally come with some pressure. "Becaus~ student athletes are such a small group on campus, we really want to prove that we can represent both the student athletes and the school," sophomore Rachel Quam said. Quam also reflected that even though they are athletes, "school work comes first. We truly are students before athletes." As their season enters week four, the players are starting to settle in on campus and find their niche on the team. "We have been focusing a lot on team building, and I think we have finally meshed as a team," freshman K iki Atuatasi said. The most memorable achievements for the team have been their 25-22, 25-22, 12-25 scores, A couple o f highlights include a 2523, stunning win over the number-one ranked Fresno Pacific as well as a win over the number seven ranked Lewis-Clark State. The CSUSM W6men's Volleyball team currently holds a record o f 13-5 and is set to play their first home game o f the season at Escondido High School today at 8 p.m. vs. San Diego Christan. Erin Talafus Lindsay Mitchell Brittany Thompson Rice s cores t wice M en's s occer v ictory o ver W estmont g ives t eam t heir first win Kyle Trembley Contributor Through the team's tough 0-3 start, Cal State San Marcos men's soccer haS been unable to catch a break. That changed in the second half o f Monday's game at Westmont, when the Cougars were able to take advantage o f two miscues by the home team and win the match 4-2. CSUSM improves to 1-3 on the year with the much-needed victory. Westmont drops to 0-4. Playing their final game at the Westmont Heritage Club Classic to~ament, Coach Ron Pulvers' Cougars came out looking to make a statement, and did so almost immediately. Just one minute into the game, a shot by Alex Rodriguez was stopped by the Westmont keeper, but Scott Rice was able to punch in the rebound for his first .career CSUSM goal and the first goal o f the season for the Cougars. Rice was not content with one, however: I n the 15th minute, AllConference midfielder Jake Kai- ser served in a dangerous ball from 30 yards out, connecting with Rice who headed it past the keeper. Up 2-0 at the 15-minute mark, the Cougars were riding high but were quickly reminded that nothing thus far this s~ason has come easy. In the 22nd minute, a foul call on the edge o f the box gave Westmont a penalty kick, which was converted to make it 2-1. Westmont would tie it in the 34th minute on a goal from Emmanuel Akyen, capitalizing on a stretch o f play in which CSUSM was frankly a bit lucky to escape from without being behind. But the second half would belong to the Cougars. Adjusting to the super-direct style o f play that served Westmont so well late in the first half, Coach Pulvers directed his team to start pressuring the back line to shut down the long passes that had been hurting CSUSM. The adjustment worked brilliant, as not only did the Cougars tilt the run o f play back in their favor, they pounced on two mistakes by Westmont's inexperienced defense to score a pair o f goals. In the 61st minute, a lazy pass back to the keeper was picked off by a very alert Eric Lopez, who buried his first goal as a Cougar to put his side up 3-2. Another first-time goal scorer, Sullivan Tobin, would ice the match in the 85th minute, intercepting a pass on the back line and striking a wonderful shot into the comer o f the net from 25 yards out to put CSUSM up 4-2 and close the door on the team's first win. K iki Castro picked up the win in net for CSUSM, making a couple key. saves when the match was 2-2 to preserve the victory. M en's S occer w ent o n t o w in P oint L orna 2-1 a nd C al T ech 5-0.

Here are tips on ways to save on textbooks, one o f the hardest hitting expenses o f college life. R ent y our textbooks Websites such as Chegg.com and ecampus.com allow students to rent their textbooks for a lower price than purchasing the textbook. Chegg.com's mission statement is to save students money and keep the cost o f textbooks to a minimum. Also, renting books allows the student to pick the timeframe they want to keep the textbook. The less time the book is kept, the less it costs. A mazon.com Amazon offers a cheap marketplace for buying and selling textbooks. College students may sign up for Amazon Student, which the website reads "free two-day shipping for six months with Amazon Prime shipping benefits, as well as exclusive offers via e-mail." Amazon also allows students to a e mo sell back their textbooks at the end o f the semester, by signing up as an Amazori seller. Students can gain back a portion o f the money they used to purchase the book. Interlibrary Loan Many students do not know about interlibrary loans. I f you go to biblio.csusm.edu or library. csusm.edu (they are the same website), there is a link on the right column to sign up for the interlibrary loan service. Students can sign up for the service for free using their campus ID and password, then librarians search through the San Diego library circuit to find i f other libraries carry the book you requested. This usually works for novels assigned for class, and the book is shipped to your house in approximately less than a week. Course Reserves Ask your professor i f they put any o f the required course materials on course reserve. I f they did, you many go into the third floor o f the library and check out the textbook for two hours. Students are not permitted to leave the library with the book, but you may copy the pages using a print card on any floor o f the library. This is a great option i f your professor only assigned· a couple pages or chapters o f the book . . Share with a classmate/friend Save money by splitting the cost o f the book with a classmate or friend. Most people are happy to share textbooks with other students, i f they are strapped for cash. I f you need assistance in getting any required course mateials, talk to your professor in office hours; most o f the time, your professor can help you devise a way to get what you need.

When deciding which fraternity o r sorority to "rush," students should research the history, requirements, and standards o f e ach organization. C SUSM recognizes three sororities (Alpha Pi Sigma, Alpha Chi Om~ga, and Alpha X i Delta), and two fraternities (Zeta Beta Tau and S igma Alpha Epsilon). According to a 2 008 memo from Student L ife and Leadership Director. Dilcie Perez, the fraternity Tau Kappa Epsilon ( 'fKE) is no longer recognized on the CSUSM campus. Alpha P i Sigma (.AIU:) is a Latina based sorority. Its website, alphapisigma.org, states its mission is " to unite and support women to advance academically ai:J.d professionally." Alpha Chi O mega (AXO) is a sorority dedicated to developing " smart, compassionate, makea-difference women," according to alphachiomega.org. This sorority makes a strong ·commitment to "academics, community service and leadership." Alpha X i D elta (A3~) is a sorority with a vision: "inspiring women to realize their potential." Its website, alphaxidelta. org, states the organization's commitment to developing its members strengths and talents within the sorority's sisterhood. Zeta Beta Tau ( ZBn is " the n ation's first Jewish fraternity," according to zbt.org. I t is " open to all men o f good character" and seeks to help its members develop "intellectual awareness, social responsibility, integrity and brotherly love." Sigma Alpha Epsilon (~AE) is a fraternity that touts the message " be true." Its website, sae. net, states that the organization helps its members "fulfill their educational aspirations and goals," a nd promotes· programs that teach "leadership, scholarship, and personal development." Students can discover many opportunities by joining a G reek organization. C SUSM is proud to host these fraternities and sorority chapters, but students must remember to always be safe and legal when representing their organization.

The 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001 became the Pearl Harbor o f the millennia! g eneration- America watched and listened in shock as the news coverage revealed the devastation and horror. On Sept. 12,2011, the United States declared war, targeting the Afghanistan-based leader group, Osama Bin Laden. Oct. 8, 2001 marked the beginning o f President Bush's "War on Terror." A generation o f fresh veterans was born from this decision as young people saw an opportunity to serve their t ry , " I saw a need for medics," Navy Corpsman Mark Mallare, a Cal State San Marcos student veteran and kinesiology major, said. "There were many opportunities in medicine after 9/11. There were so many trauma patients that needed to be cared for." Another opportunity that appealed to America's new military recruits was the new GI Bill, which was revised after the 9/11 disaster to include more benefits for those who serve. Signed into law in July o f 2008, the Post-9/11 GI Bill, or GI Bill 2.0, created a "new robust education benefits program rivaling the WWII era GI Bill o f Rights," according to an overview o f the bill at military.com/education. The bill's benefits apply to "servicemembers who have served on active duty for 90 or more days since Sept. 10, 200 l ," and are "tiered based on the number o f days served on active duty." Several revisions to this bill came into effect in August 2011. revisions include full coverage o f tuition and public schools, including gradu~ ate training. I n addition, Students may be reimbursed for national exams such as the SAT, as well as tests for licensing and certification. Some unfortunate changes include the end o f " preak pay," which means students will not receive monthly payments for housing or other needs during semester breaks in the school term. The Veterans Center at CSUSM (c susm . edu/outreach/VeteransServices) exists to help student veterans understand how to obtain these benefits as well as offer a safe and friendly environment that promotes camaraderie between military branches. Mallare, who works in the Veterans Center, said he wanted to help people in the same way people helped him when he started at CSUSM. "We give students peace o f .mind and assist students with their paperwork," he said. The center offers computers, a friendly staff, and a television for students who just want to unwind and hang out. "We are also looking to start a lending library t() help students with their textbook needs," Amber Bouge, who also works in the Veterans Center, said. A my S alis b ury's " The M ug" P ut stuff in, stir it around, enjoy it o r hate it F reedom o f t he p ress I mportance o f m edia t ransparecy p ost 9 -11 As I sat down to write this article, I expected to offer commentary on the American media's coverage o f the events o f 9/11. The vast and varied ways that television, film and print journalism told the story o f the attacks made for extremely compelling capsules o f information that still have relevance all o f 10 years later. Within that commentary, I expected to be critical o f the media; I wanted to explain why revealing the president's location on 9/11 and airing footage o f people jumping out o f the World Trade Center buildings was beyond the responsibility o f media. The more I considered the subject, however, I uncovered a different angle to this type o f response (which is rather common among those who e xpress an opinion, it seems). W h i 1e many sought to criticize the media for their ~- c o m prehensive c-overage o f the day's events, others understood the i ntent p ortreal- importance within a free society. This concept o f "media transparency" is an irrefutable asset to the American public. Should the media cover up events in order to maintain an advanced state o f public order or government secrecy, the concept o f freedom would cease to exist as fast as true journalism would. Media, as a service to the public, preserves transparency so it may preserve freedom. All media outlets, from the largest metropolitan newspaper to the local dailies, have got toreport the whole truth. For the years that I have been with The Pride, I have experienced the good, the bad and the ugly that comes with covering events that happen on campus. True journalism seeks the whole story and reveals it accurately and ethically. Journalists often feel confused or threatened by the concept of revealing sensitive or controversial information, but those in the business o f reporting truth must do just that. As the editor of the Opinion section, I encourage the students, staff, faculty and community to report truths by writing Letters to the Editor ad- readers deem important and worthy o f exploration.

The repercussions of the delay were numerous, varying in severity. Most of the incidents related to the power outage were minor; however; people were trapped in two non-working elevators in Graven Hall, and another elevator in University Hall. Students in wheelchairs were stranded on the upper floors of buildings, unable to use the non-functioning elevators. A total of seven people were trapped in two Craven Hall ele- The individuals trapped in the elevators used the elevator's emergency phones to call University Police dispatch, Everyone was out of the elevators by 11:50 a.m.; this delay was caused because the system that accepts back-up energy in Craven Hall was down, The only way out of the campus buildings during a power outage is by using the stairs, This can be a problem for students in wheelchairs, like one sludent who was stuck on the upper floors in Academic Hall during the outage.

"This is a great way for CSUSM.students to show support and patriotism for our country. We're really hoping to fill all openings to make this a successful event," said Brown. Freshman Steve Koch plans to donate. "I felt a sense of helplessness in trying to support the victims and their families over in New York and Washington, D.C. Now that we're going to have a blood drive here at CSUSM, I feel great knowing that I'm helping out fellow Americans in need." San Diego Blood Bank has allotted 94 CSUSM students to give blood — 54 spaces have yet to be filled. The openings are limited to 94 spaces due to the number of staff on hand and their time constraints. The Blood Bank prefers that students pre-register for the event by signing up in the ASI office in Commons 203, or registering by phone (760) 750-4996. Although pre-registration is not required, students who do so will receive priority on the days of the drive. "We really appreciate the support of the university, and are looking forward to a successful drive," says Lilian Gonzalez, Donor Recruitment Consultant for the San Diego Blood Bank. Every CSUSM stu3ent that donates blood will receive a Red Cross Hawaiian print t-shirt. All students that are interested are encouraged to contact Jocelyn Brown at (760) 750-4996.

Senior Dulee Solis, however, took a chance, and studied her theater major at Russia's Saint Petersburg State Theater Arts Academy. She learned of this opportunity when she took a theater arts class with Professor Marcos Martinez, from the Visual and Performing Arts Department. Martinez had invited the Academy's Sergei Tcherkasski to teach a theater workshop at CSUSM, which Solis attended. To express her thanks, Solis wrote Tcherkasski a thank-you note. After he received the note, Tcherkasski suggested that Solis study in Russia, and within a year, after finishing what was left of her time in the Navy, she decided to spend a semester studying at the Academy. "My experience in Russia showed me that, in America, we are' a pretentious society," said Solis. "In the work place we smile at strangers and give great customer service. We are dependent on each other's emotions and reactions. We, as Americans, have to be liked by everyone and are affected if we are not. In Russia that is not the case." Solis said her time spent in Russia was enjoyable, yet drastically different from America. She said some of the differences she noticed included few people smiling, a no-return shopping policy, and non-existent customer service. Solis said she also felt that the younger generation seemed to be more positive toward foreign students than the older generation. "Everyone is very educated," said Solis. "There is a great respect for teachers, elders and authority in general." Dule Solis, center, with friends in Russia. (Courtesy photo/Dulce Solis) Saint Petersburg State Theater Arts Academy is well known and is thought of highly in Russia. The Academy's focus is education and theater; the school is comparable to Julliard in the United States. The ages of students studying at the Academy is 17 to 27. Classes are held Mondays through Saturdays, from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. On Sundays, students are f ree to rehearse on their own time. The curriculum includes acting, singing, voice, speech, acrobatics, stage movement, dancing, history, English and literature. Some of Solis' interesting and abstract acting projects involved working with imaginary objects which enhanced the feeling of being "in that moment in space", monologues, and a project in which she gave animal characteristics to a character in a play. At the Academy, students also have what is called a "Master", who closely follows the development arid growth of each individual at the Academy. Solis completed her semester at the Academy with final exams, and received a perfect score of 5 out of a possible 5. Reflecting on her semester spent in Russia, Solis said, "Although I went to the Academy for acting, I learned more about myself as an American." Solis, who is married and a Vista resident, plans to audition for her master's degree at Julliard, Yale University or New York University after her June graduation. Campus Police Install Blue Light By MIA ALIO Pride Staff Writer Many CSUSM students, faculty, and staff make a long trek to their cars every night. After a long day of work and classes, however, many of them may not be aware of their surroundings or the possible dangers they could face during the evening. If an individual is faced with an emergency while making his/her trek to the car, the parking lots are equipped with special direct dial "blue" light telephones, which allow a person to be connected with a University Police dispatcher. University Police stressed that the "blue" light telephones are for emergency use only. To help prevent any students, faculty, or staff from misusing the emergency telephones, University Police offers personnel escorts to and from vehicles and buildings. The University Police is an official police department on campus that currently has 10 sworn officers at their disposal. Tom Schultheis, chief of University Police, explains that a sworn officer can provide appropriate enforcement and has the power to arrest a person. The officers can also activate fire and medical assistance. In the past three years that Chief Schultheis has been with CSUSM, he said he cannot recall any reports of an attack or rape on an individual. Chief Schultheis said that the department's purpose is to provide a safe environment for the campus community and to be as visible as possible. He also said that there is a police officer on foot-patrol 24 hours a day. The department is available 24 hours as well, and is located in the University Services Building on the eastside of campus. Those who would like to access the police escort service are asked to call 750-4567, or dial extension 4567,. on campus. A mural honoring the past and celebrating the future of CSUSM was placed near Founders' Plaza for Homecoming Week; a student looks on.

"We would do everything we could to ensure the safety of the person stranded. Every situation would have to be assessed individually," said Rose Kelly, a University Police dispatcher. When asked what precautions the university is taking to accommodate disabled students during power outages or emergencies on campus, CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez said, "I will follow up with my own questions as to our capacity and abijity to meet the needs of disabled persons in the event of a power outage." Charles Walden, of Facilities Services, explained why the outage occurred: "The Central Plant, which supplies the heating and air conditioning for the campus, was recently expanded to handle the additional requirements of the new buildings currently under construction. While testing the new equipment on Wednesday, the added load caused a short in the new electrical switchgear, which in turn caused the main electrical system to shut down. This resulted in the loss of power to the entire campus." Walden added that Facilities Services has installed additional circuit protection in the new switchgear to avoid future power failures on campus. CSUSM has emergency generators in University Hall, Science Hall, Craven Hall, and University Services, in the case of an incident like Wednesday's or worse. "The emergency generators for University and Science Halls came on and worked as designed. The generator in Craven also worked properly; however, the 'automatic transfer switch' that allows the building to accept the power failed," said Walden. The failure of the working automatic transfer switch caused the elevators to stop working. Facility Services scheduled a test for Sunday morning to try and diagnose the problem and repair it as necessary. In University Hall, back up generators were able to provide energy to the elevators; two people were stuck in one elevator. It began to function again by 11:19 a.m. Walden said that an emergency generator was not included in Academic Hall's design when it was built, because of funding. There is also no generator in the Commons area. "The original design of Academic Hall, which was approved by the California State University normal construction plan approval process,, was not built with an emergency power generator," said Blair. "Therefore, the elevator will not operate during power outages. This is a temporary situation, which is planned to be corrected by adding an elevator on the southern end of the building." The exact timing of the elevator addition is not clear, but is expected to coincide with the construction of the Business Building. "The Business Building will have a power generator which should provide enough power for emergency use in Academic Hall," said Blair. The Business Building is the university's first item on the new bond that will be requested through the legislature next year. "The building will not be completed for several years," said Blair. Other problems during the campus power outage were minor. Students lost unsaved work on computers, and the backup computer system failed to activate. Classes were either instructed without lighting and media devices, or canceled. The campus Writing Center in Craven Hall had to cancel tutoring appointments due to the darkness. The Dome was also unable to prepare and sell food and beverages during its prime hours of business. �Tuesday, October 9,2001 3 H i e P ride Local News Angela Davis Civil Rights Activist at CSUSM By CHRIS ING Pride Staff Writer Author and activist Angela Davis will be a guest speaker at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido as part of CSUSM's Arts & Lectures Series, and Intercultural Speakers Series, inaugurating CSUSM's Intercultural Speakers Series.

Tens of thousands yellow jackets, which are a type of wasp, are born in nests six to 12 inches in the dirt. Thousands of these wasps, however, are caught in the neonyellow plastic traps that have been placed around campus by the facilities department. The traps have been on campus for more than a year, and contain an attractant for the wasps — not poison. "We put a liquid in the traps that draws hornets, yellow jackets, bees, and basically anything that stings," said Daniel Kraus, who works for Facilities Services. Mark Martinez, an entomologist with the county's Department of Agriculture, Weights and Measures, said that there would be many of these insects this fall, and many more during the spring. The rock blasting behind the Foundation buildings may be one reason for the increased numbers of yellow jackets this year at CSUSM, since the dirt is home for the yellow jackets. "Blasting may have disturbed them, but this year there are just a lot of them," said Martinez. George L. Jones, another • county entomologists explained the life cycle of the yellow jackets. "New queens are produced in the fall, and they're impregnated in November and December," said Jones. "The males usually die first, followed by the rest of the colony, and then the old queens." In the winter, the new pregnant queens leave the nest, then hide in tree bark, and stay inactive during the winter. "Not too many of the new queens survive," said Jones. "But the ones that survive start a new nest in February or March." The new queens will attract Bee trap at CSUSM (Pride photo/Mary Sue Webb) workers to help build the nest and to gather protein food. The abundance of vegetation in North County is one source of nectar for the adults. Many of the yellow jackets have also found food from scraps left near the cafeteria area on campus. The yellow jackets also eat caterpillars and cutworms. These wasps are not only found around the campus, but other schools, as well. In the past two weeks, entomologist Jones dug up 12 nests at an elementary school in San Pasqual Valley. "We heard that there were killer bees in Escondido at a school," said Jones. "When we got there, the TV cameras were there. But they were not killer bees, they were yellow jackets." By digging up the nests, Jones stopped the lifecycle of the immature queens. Each new queen would have produced approximately 8,000 yellow jackets by next spring. Dr. Karen Nicholson, director of CSUSM Student Health, said that there have not been an overwhelming number of students stung this year. Less than four percent of Americans, however, are hyper sensitive to hymenopterous insects, which include bees, wasps, and yellow jackets. Nicholson recommended that students visit V the WebMD.com site for prevention and first aid tips for treating yellow jacket stings: To avoid being stung, don't look or smell like a flower. Avoid brightly-colored clothing and perfume when outdoors. If someone is stung, do not remove the stinger. Yellow jackets don't leave a stinger. Elevate the stung limb and apply ice or a cold compress to the area to reduce swelling and pain. Wash the sting area with soapy water. Use topical steroid ointments or oral antihistamines to relieve itching. Normal and allergic reactions to stings can vary from normal non-allergic reactions at the time of the sting to normal non-allergic reactions hours or days after the sting; reactions include itching, residual rednessy and swelling at the sting site. Non life-threatening systemic allergic reactions can occur and life-threatening systemic allergic s reactions can occur. IRSS^ New Fellow Studying Academia Dr. Bethami Dobkin (Pride Photo/Amy Bolaski) By KEVIN HAWK Pride Staff Writer Students and faculty at CSUSM may have noticed a new face on campus - Dr. Bethami Dobkin is visiting from the University of San Diego this school year. Dobkin is one of 33 Fellows chosen nationwide by the American Council on Education (ACE). The ACE Fellow program is a leadership growth program used to reinforce the backbone of colleges and universities across the country. Dobkin will observe and learn from CSUSM academic programs, governance processes, and administrative decisionmaking processes. She will attend a variety of meetings, including the Budget Task Force, Provost's Council, Academic Senate, and the President's Cabinet. She will also have the opportunity to shadow President Gonzalez and Vice-President Dr. Robert Sheath each for one week, from whom she will gain different perspectives on academic leadership. So far, Dobkin has observed » « - tfc^ CSUSM struggle to gain an identity. "CSUSM is a young college that is trying to create a shared identity," said Dobkin. She is excited to see the process that academic leaders implement to accomplish this goal. In 1992, Dobkin wrote a book titled, Tales of Terror. "'Tales of Terror' has much in common with the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks," she said. "The book's main argument is that TV news does not encourage the spread of terrorism, but supports U.S. policy towards the use of military responses to terrorism " She also spoke about terrorism and the media during the open forum held on campus last week. Dobkin, who earned her bachelor's degree at Humboldt State University and received her master's and doctoral degrees from the University of Massachusetts, has taught at USD for the past 12 years as a professor of communication. She also is chair of the Department of Communication Studies at USD. Dobkin was encouraged to apply for the ACE Fellow Program after USD's provost approached her. The President of USD nominated Dobkin because she demonstrated strong leadership qualities. , USD continues to pay her yearly salary even though she is not teaching this year. By contract, she must serve USD for one year, and then she can accept other offers. Dobkin, however, said, "I don't see myself leaving USD." ^ H B antf tarnn then it is Wg eoougfi for oradyetffirt h rfedottan priorities are m the wrofig to Ignormg thestutentsisnntaGceptatJle m MORE MfGKMATMH. 1 BP WWWJiEALBflADUATUHl M M �Tuesday October 9,2001 5 P ow W ow Festivites E njoyed by Many o n Campus »Article cont. from pg. 1 Oceanside said, "This is the first Pow Wow I have ever been to, and I am completely hooked.

The Pow Wow is an important part of Native-American traditions; they celebrate their heritage, and honor and pay respect to the ancestors of the past, and family and friends of the present and future. Men, women, and children from tribes including Cherokee, Kiowa, Kumeyaay, Luiseno, Navajo, Piaute, and Sioux, participated in this year's Pow Wow. Some of the scheduled events include the Blessing of the Grounds ceremony, the Grand Entry ceremony, Gourd dancing, honorariums, intertribal dancing, drumming, and Classifieds — Michelle L ee the Kumeyaay bird singers. More than 20 vendors also sold native jewelry, arts, crafts, clothing, incense, bow and arrow sets, books, wooden flutes, and food Indian fry bread and Navajo tacos were the most popular food that weekend. The Kaleo'Onalani Polynesian dancers were a new addition to this year's Pow Wow. On Saturday eve- ning, they performed several native dances representing the islands of Hawaii, New Zealand, Rapa Nui, Tahiti, and Tonga. "The entertainment is what draws you near, but as you stay and listen, you learn quite a lot," said Professor Brandon Cesmat of the Literature and Writing Studies Department. "It is just as informative as it is entertaining — a great experience." AISA also served a complimentary dinner Saturday night to express their appreciation for all who participated. "It is the Indian way — to feed your guests. Elders first, then everyone else," said Randy Edmonds, piaster of ceremonies. The Pow Wow marked the beginning of CSUSM's first Homecoming Week.

The class, which investigates the writing process through the genre of the memoir, gave students the opportunity to hear Clausen read from his book Prairie Son, one of the literary works used in the course. Students were fortunate to have a chance to ask the author questions first-hand, in addition to listening to Clausen speak. Clausen said he "remembers things in pictures, which is quite useful as a writer." He noted the drawback to such a trait though, is that "the pictures are like stains on your carpet - you try and try, but you can't get them out." He joked that the scene from a bank deposit he made in 1967 is etched in his memory. Clausen's book is a heartwrenching tale of an orphaned boy adopted into a mid-West Depression-era household, not as a son but as a worker. The book is based on the true story of Lloyd Clausen, the author's father, who attempted to write his memoirs as he lay dying from cancer in a Houston, Texas trailer park in 1980. Seventeen years later Clausen would use those notes to write the book his father could not. Although written in the first person in the form of a letter to the younger Clausen, the book is the work of the son. When asked about the difficulty involved in keeping his own voice separate from his father's, Clausen said that, "Over time, as I reflect on the book and the writing, I have come to realize that there are essentially three voices in the book: mine, my father's, and Delores' (the person closest to Lloyd). But I was not aware of that when I wrote it." In the book, Lloyd's adoptive parents (Dennis's grandparents) are portrayed as heartless, cruel, and exploitive people. Clausen's relationship with his grandmother grows warmer, however, and years later she becomes remorseful for the way she had treated his father. "It was immensely painful," said Clausen, when asked if characterization of his grandmother in the book caused any strife (though she died in 1960). "Many nights during the writing process I would lie awake deciding that I could not continue the book. By morning, though, I would realize that I owed it to my father to finish it." Prairie Son, which Clausen wrote from exhaustive detective and interview work (much of which dates back to pre-Depression era Minnesota, as well as post-Depression), contains many real-life mysteries, but perhaps none so intriguing as the question of Delores' real parents. Like Lloyd, she too was adopted, although under much happier circumstances. Yet the identity of her real parents, thought by some to be Lloyd's mother, is never revealed. The question Dennis Clausen, author and local San Diegan signs a student's book after he spoke to Lit and Writing students. (Pride Photo/Melanie Addington) still haunts Clausen today, almost three years after the book was published. He still reads census records from the 1920s in an attempt to solve the mystery. Clausen said of writing the book, "I think by writing what he could of his memoirs under the strain of cancer, Dad was making one last attempt to reach out. In writing this book, I found the opportunity to do the same." Clausen closed his lecture by signing the students' books.

Richie (Luke Wilson) �Arts & Entertainment The Pride Tuesday, October 9,2001-7 Z oolander I s Like, Really, Really Good D „ A X/V BOLASKI By AMY DAT A OT/T Pride Graduate Intern Narcissism reigns supreme in "Zoolander," a comedy that satirizes a world that exists as a satire in and of itself - the often misunderstood and misrepresented life of the supermodel. In this case that model is Derek Zoolander (Ben Stiller), the excruciatingly stupid "Male Model of the Year" title holder, who, after losing the crown to newcomer and equally vapid Zenmaster Hansel (Often Wilson, Stiller's sidekick in "Meet the Parents") decides there must be something more to life than "being really, really good looking." What that something is never completely surfaces - but it really doesn't matter. Wilson, who comes replete with some sort of vague Eastern philosophy, custom-designed scooter and his very own Sherpa, is hilarious; and Stiller, who revives and reinvents his 1996 VH1/ Vogue Fashion Awards character of the same name is gutbusting at times. Refreshingly inane, "Zoolander" is a veritable smorgasbord of inside jokes that pokes fun at everything from collagen injections to model/actors (appropriately dubbed Slashies). What keeps this sort of popculture kvetching fresh is the multitude of Slashies who appear in the film, most of whom gamely play along with actor-slashdirector-slash-screenwriter-slash star Ben Stiller, making fun of themselves and each other. Note Fred Durst, Lenny Kravitz and Vince Vaughn, and one of those Backstreet Boys-slash- N'Sync people, and a bevy of others. "When a sketch-based movie works, it works really well, and when it doesn't, it really, really doesn't," said Stiller. "Zoolander" lands perhaps somewhere in the middle - the film's more the caliber of Stiller's recent efforts, ''Something About Mary" and "Meet the Parents," than that of the unfortunate "Cable Guy," which Stiller directed, and "If Lucy Fell" (No, I don't remember it either.)

Bandits By CHRIS ING Pride Staff Writer MGM's latest, "Bandits?,' offers a refreshing take on a subject seemingly exhausted: the bank heist. The yin-yang pairing of Bruce Willis' character Joe Blake to Billy Bob Thornton's Terry Collins yields a thoroughly original, entertaining experience. Willis gives the role a depth and sensibility he is not often known for ("Die Hard", "Die Harder", "Die Really Hard", "Die Hardest") but one that he is capable of ("Bonfire of the Vanities", "Pulp Fiction".) The terminally chameleonistic Thornton always crafts a character whose subtleties are engaging yet believable ("Sling Blade", "A Simple Plan"). Joe, (Willis) as the semi-macho action figure, is clearly the brawn of the operation, albeit given to reading Chinese philosophy. Terry (Thornton) is an ultracerebral hypochondriac at the mercy of the power of suggestion (a shortcoming capitalized upon to comic effect by Joe) whose intelligence makes him the brains of the duo. His sensitivities provide a plethora of plot twists and witty dialogue. Terry's best line is, "Love is like a wish that hides in your heart where no one can find it. It's also time-consuming." When disillusioned and imbalanced housewife Kate Wheeler (Cate Blanchett of "Elizabeth") lands in their midst, the film seems bound to dissolve into a 'two guys and a girl' cliche, but director Barry Levinson and screenwriter Harley Peyton work well together to ground the characters' behavior in reality. (Well, as real as Hollywood allows, in any case). Together, of course, Terry and Joe form the perfect man, and the dynamic between the three takes on energy of its^own. Joe's lovable but dim-witted cousin and would-be stuntman, Harvey (Troy Garity of "Steal This Movie", "Bohemia") rounds out the team as the get-away driver. Each heist has its own personality, revealing a little more of the cast with every unpredictable close call and unimaginable quirk. Original, smart and funny, "Bandits" draws the viewer in with the characters, yet it is the unexpected plot and witty dialogue that make the film a solid view. In the theater, the audience exploded into laughter and clapped numerous times. Do yourself a favor and go see it. "Bandits" opens Friday, and is rated PG-13 by the MPAA, with a running time of 113 minutes. �$ TuesdayrOcl,ob^r9?;20Ql Opinion War and Killing I nnocent Civilians The recent destruction of the World Trade Center in New York represents a watershed in the history of America, and in the history of western civilization itself. Islamic fundamentalists have declared war on us, and on everything that western civilization stands for (individualism, capitalism, science, technology, secularism, economic prosperity, the pursuit of individual happiness) in the name of their barbarous ideology which practices the exact opposite (otherworldly mysticism, anti-materialism, totalitarian theocracy, sacrifice of the individual to the collective). They have declared war on us. The question now is: Will we declare war on "them"? • If we do not, if we respond weakly or not at all, then the terrorists will only become further emboldened, and these recent attacks will come to be seen as just an initial salvo, a shot across the bow. We will have to prepare ourselves for much worse to come, both in scale and frequency. We will have to start worrying about biological or chemical weapons in the air, about miniature nuclear bombs in our cities. These things are indeed unthinkable — but it is time to start thinking about them. The unthinkable has already happened in New York City. In order to prevent this, in order to wipe out the threat of terrorism for good, we must absolutely crush the terrorists and everything that makes them possible. This means declaring war against the countries that sponsor, support, and house terrorists, and replacing their governments with free, pro-Western regimes. If we do less, if we simply wipe out the particular bands of terrorists responsible for the recent tragedy, we will leave intact the structure for these same countries to finance and develop a new network of terror. We know who these countries are, and we have known for decades. We must immediately declare war against Afghanistan and Iran, and subsequently Syria, Libya, Iraq, and Sudan (if they remain recalcitrant). One frequent concern is that, if we attack and bomb these countries, as a collateral consequence, innocent civilians will die. This is an unfortunate truth; but we must be very clear on the moral issues that are at stake. If it were always wrong to undertake any military action in which civilians might or would die, then it would have been wrong in WWII for the Allies to drop even a single conventional bomb on Japan and Germany. But far from being wrong, it was morally "imperative" that the Allies act as they did during the war. Consider the following situation: A criminal takes a hostage, and holds that person in front of his body as a shield. The criminal then draws a bead on you with his gun, and prepares to fire in what will certainly be a fatal shot. Do you fire first? Of course — it is fully morally justifiable for you to fire back to defend yourself, even if there is a high probability or even certainty that the hostage will be injured or killed as well as the criminal. The only alternative is to lose your own life. The full moral blame for the hostage's death rests with the criminal. He is the one who constructed the situation; he is the one who put everyone's life in danger. The criminal would have killed at least one person; you are fully morally justified in making sure that person is not you. The moral issue is identical when considering making war against a country that threatens us. For example, imagine that Saddam Hussein is developing chemical and biological weapons, and long-range missiles on which to deliver them into our cities. This is a clear threat to our safety and lives. The only real, viable, long-term solution is to eliminate Saddam Hussein and his regime, which can only be accomplished by a war against Iraq. Would some Iraqi civilians perish? Yes. But the moral responsibility for their deaths would rest squarely on the shoulders of Saddam Hussein. He is the one imperiling all of our lives (ours and his own countrymen), he is the one in effect using civilians as a human shield (something which he did explicitly and deliberately during the Gulf war). Analogous to the hostage situation described above, someone is going to die, either our civilians, or Iraq's. We are fully morally justified in making sure it's not us. And Saddam Hussein bears the full moral responsibility for any and all deaths in the situation. To the extent that civilians are aiding a dictator who threatens us, even involuntarily, we are even more fully morally justified in taking actions that might or will result in their deaths. For example, imagine in WWII that some Eastern European concentration camp prisoners are being forced to work in German munitions factories, building weapons to be used against us. Not only is it morally justified, it is morally "imperative" that we bomb that factory, regardless of possible innocent civilian deaths. Once again, the blood would entirely be on the Nazi's hands. Civilians in Iraq would be in a similar position (in the example given above), in that every productive action they take which increases the strength and wealth of the country, and hence Iraq's military potential, is a threat to us. Even if their productive efforts are forcibly siphoned off by Saddam, against their will, it is still a fact that their actions only strengthen Saddam, and pose an increasing threat to us. But, in addition to this, consider that a significant fraction of the citizens in the Arab peninsula support the actions of their governments and the terrorists. To the extent that they denounce the U.S. as the Great Satan, to the extent they are thrilled that America is under attack, they are not innocent victims. They are full and willing supporters of the killers, and this makes the civilians even more of a threat to us — and erases their innocence. They become full, complicit participants in the threats to our lives. Similarly, to the extent that citizens of the Arab countries support their governments and the terrorists, they are not innocent; and to the extent that they are innocent, they will welcome our attacks and attempts to eradicate their governments. It is an absolute, foregone certainty that innocent civilians are going to die in the coming months and years. The only question open to us is, will if be our civilians or theirs?

A guy told us that his girlfriend has managed to swoop her way into a familiar situation we like to call, "rocking the cradle " and the guy doesn't like it. She has already brought his 3-yearold son to her parents' house, and he came back saying grandpa and. grandma. The family loves this kid. She takes him to daycare every morning, buys him toys, and even a puppy. She's way out of line, especially for the first month of the relationship. She just wants to get in his pants. KIM: Ok, just because she likes a cute 3-year-old toddler and his dad that makes her a psycho? I doubt his problem is her trying to get into his pants. More than likely his problem is commitment. He's still running like a baby. Maybe he should be wearing the diapers. Grow up already. KIM: Ok, interrupt me again, and I'm going in for the kill. As I was saying, she's just excited that she thought she had met this great guy, but in reality he is just another dog in the pack that puts his tail between his legs and then turns and runs. He is lucky to find someone that is willing to acceptliim, baggage and all. AUSTIN: Doesn't a man have a say in who raises his child, and who he spends the rest of his life with? Instead of being cynical and just cracking on the guy, you need to realize she's child hungry, obsessive, and manipulative. KIM: This girl needs to ditch the dude, no matter how deceiving his charm is. In the end, he's just the typical guy, only this one is carrying serious baggage. JUSTIN: Baggage smaggage, even if he decides to ditch her, she'll still be locked in* I say throw her in a box marked "Timbuktu," and pay the extra cash for overnight delivery. Who won this time? Justin and Kim welcome all responses and ideas. If anyone would like to write a "Battle of the Sexes," e-mail The Pride at pride@csusm.edu. JUSTIN: He has a child, that kind of commitment makes a relationship look like managing a goldfish. I'm sure he doesn't mind getting some play, but she's breaking the rules of engagement.

As a matter of fact, the only aspect I found quite surprising in all of it was the deftness with which it was executed. I did not know, now I know, that the Pentagon and the White House were that vulnerable. In my humble, but considered opinion, it is time for America to, as we Catholics used to say, "examine our conscience" with respect to our foreign policy. I mean, the strongest and largest economic and military power to emerge in the 21st century, and we refuse to engage in the Middle East issues! We assume a "Hands-Off" approach as if it l\ies<ia£ G&oWf 9,20O(j'9 was a free market issue and we're waiting for the inexorable logic of the "Invisible Hand" to solve that one. On a series of issues, the current Administration consistently antagonizes not just potential enemies but also friends/ allies. Bush appears bent on ripping up the 1972 Antiballistic Missiles Treaty and setting off another arms race. America, with its history of racism, yet insensitive to its own racial makeup, walked out from mere participation in a racial conference that merely sought to rebuke Israel. What message are we trying to send to the world anyway? My-way-or the-highway, I guess. What is the charm? Rather than cooperate on issues such as the Kyoto protocol on climate change. Such unilateralist view irritates the heck out of me - a loyal U.S. citizen. How much more a sworn adversary? It makes me feel that the Bush Administration misses the point like a sick [expletive]. When the U.S. missiles hit their targets in Baghdad a few years ago, Americans cheered at how perfect our weapons of mass destruction had become. Never mind that innocent Iraqi women and children were killed. That was just too bad ... "collateral damage", we say. Fine. Africa has a number of applicable proverbs, one of which comes to mind: when elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers. But when the terrorists succeed in killing innocent Americans and the Palestinians cheer, we call them enemies/ devils. We talk like children. Don't we see? I've found that intolerance with others generates intolerance with me. It would appear that Americans know how to dish it out but don't know how to take it. Those Palestinians deserve a peaceful state to call their own just as much as Israel does. But when America vocally and unwaveringly supports Israel and sits by and watches Israel assassinate Palestinians on a daily basis, Palestinians consider America as evil/enemy. The U.S. is at one of those rare but fortunate moments in history (the lone superpower, for God's sake) when it can shape the Middle East. "To whom much is given, much is expected." I incline to the opinion that what God has not done for the Middle East, America must do. But for as long as we vacillate, no long will we pay dearly for the dubious pleasures of not having made up our minds. To turn our backs on the Middle East is at best cowardly, and at worst evil. Why the blinders? One thing is being down played in all this and that is the bin Ladens of this world were once staunch stooges of the U.S. who were discarded when they were no longer needed. We create monsters that we think we can control. You only have to watch a couple of James Bond movies to know that that is not true! The chairs are turned. We are caught in the toils of our own selfishness. So as we pray for the innocent American lives lost as a result of the terrorism and for peace in America, let us also "pray for peace in the Middle East". After all, we are all God's children.

But how can CSUSM help foster more cosmopolitan attitudes in its faculty, students and curricula? I suggest that the answer lies in rejecting the parochialism of state and region. Just look around you. In how many courses at CSUSM can you learn about global issues, histories or cultures anywhere but in the United States and/or to a lesser extent in Mexico and Latin America? It is not that these issues are unimportant but that others issues are equally and sometimes even more important. Where is CSUSM's commitment to Africa, Asia, the Middle East, South Asia and the Pacific? Or even to Europe in all its post-1989 complexity? In how* many courses can students learn about the structural problems of globalization, about international politics and transnational organizations, cosmopolitan justice and international ethics, comparative religions or comparative governments? The answer, regrettably, is too few. Certainly CSUSM's art and literature programs do a somewhat better job at addressing global cultures. We should be glad for our second language requirement, even if we are currently limited in the number of languages we are able to offer. Art and literature are important, but they are not enough. At times like these, definitions of culture centered in literature and the arts can only take us 'so far. In order to fulfill CSUSM's founding mission of global awareness, we need to do more. We need to build programs that include, indeed that emphasize, the transnational realities of globalization and of opposition to globalization in all their manifestations. The times require it. Students must also do their part. Departments will continue to be understandably wary about increasing their global offerings if students do not take the courses - especially because departments live and die by meeting their ever-growing enrolment targets. Students might fault the paucity of 'globally oriented' courses on campus, but check out their enrolments sometime. By taking these classes and asking for more, students can lead the curriculum in a new direction. Students have another role to play, for if the curriculum shortchanges global awareness, so does student life on our campus. Where is a campus chapter of Amnesty International or of the nationwide, student-led, anti-sweatshop movement? The list could go on. Right now, the campus and the nation are traumatized by the consequences of terror and anxious about this 'new' war and about what is to come. This is a good moment in which to reorient ourselves outwards, towards the rest of the world, and to demand that the campus do the same. HAVE AN OPINION?

Very simply, money spent building a parking lot or parking structure produces physical parking spaces that will last for years, decades even. However money spent on stack parking only produces parking spaces while the money is spent ~ there is no lasting effect. Stack parking must go. As we all know,, the evacuation of the school, and thus the emptying of the parking lots, is a slow process. Doubleparking cars into parking places would significantly complicate and slow the emptying of the parking lot. The evacuation of school is a contingency that must be considered. CSUSM has been evacuated before Sept. 11, 2001 due to a brush fire, and someday, will probably be evacuated again; stack parking would definitely impede the evacuation. Stack parking must go. CSUSM is a public school, therefore it is the responsibility of the administration at CSUSM to spend the money of taxpayers and students in a manner that is not wasteful, and will benefit the students at CSUSM. There is also a responsibility for the safety of everyone on campus, and this includes not hampering the ability to empty the parking lots in an orderly and* timely fashion. In the interests of both public safety and fiscal responsibility, CSUSM should provide lasting solutions to on-campus parking, not temporary and wasteful stack parking. ~ David J. Ludwig CSUSM STUDENT Educate Misguided Peaceniks Say that you happen to come across a peace rally held by naive, zit faced college idiots. Until now you have thought that they were lost souls but we at the Committee for Common Sense have devised a strategy to teach them why force is sometimes needed: 1. Approach pampered, ignorant rich kids regurgitating washed out slogans such as "give peace a chance" and condemning United States retaliations before they even happen. 2. Proceed to engage the misguided by asking if military force is appropriate. 3. Remove silver spoon from the misguided's mouth. 4. When the misguided says "No," ask, "Why not?" 5. Wait until the misguided says something to the effect of, "Because that would just cause more innocent deaths, and we should not cause more violence." 6. At any point now feel free to interrupt the misguided by firmly stomping on their foot. 7. When the misguided gets back up to up to punch you, point out that it would be a mistake and contrary to their values to respond with any sort of physical response, because that would, " cause more violence, suggest that they explore a more diplomatic avenue to resolve iany conflict they might have with you." 8. Wait until the misguided agrees and promises not to commit additional violence. 9. This time kick the misguided in the shin. 10. If necessary repeat steps 6 through 9 until the misguided understands that sometimes the only way to end violence is by a violent response in the name of peace. *Note, This is a theoretical model to disprove peacenicks. In no way is the Committee for Common Sense advocating violence towards any person or groups. As a free person in a free society, we must respect others First Amendment Rights, including their rights to be stupid. Further, as a free person you bare full responsibility for your actions. Darren Marks V alium f or A merica By JUSTIN ANDREWS Pride Staff Writer Have you noticed the American esprit de corp lately? We all want to fight. Most people's attitudes are sitting on a lookout tower ready to snipe anyone who infringes their space, opinion, freedom of speech, or any other American ideal. What happened? Since those shit heads attacked us, everyone has had so much unfocused, pent-up anger, and now we seem to be subconsciously taking it out on each other. In conversations, you can't make a joke about the President without someone throwing the stink eye at you. So out of curiosity, I sported my "I Voted for Gore" shirt, and walked down the Pacific Coast Highway in downtown Oceanside just to see what kind of response I'd get. I got the stink eye from just about everyone, not to mention a group of marines who made me remove my shirt and watched me as I walked away to be sure I didn't put it back on. Around the corner an elderly couple told me how fortunate this country was that Gore wasn't elected because we all might be dead right now. After a few seconds, I realized the old man wasn't making a joke, so I abruptly curbed my laughter and saw how serious this problem was. Everyone has been more argumentative, more opinionated, and less willing to listen than I've ever experienced in the 21 years I've been here. It's right here at Cal State San Marcos. Without going out and looking for trouble, like me, you may just want to pay attention to the last few editions of The Pride student newspaper. For example, in a recent special edition concerning the attack, some students wrote that they were very disappointed by the way the fraternities behaved on the morning before school was evacuated, and continued to call, playing music and conducting fraternity business ignorant and apathetic acts. I don't know if anyone knew what they were doing that morning. Everyone was in shock, and handled things in their own matter, their own comfort level. Fingers were pointed for no real reason at all, except for emotional aggression, frustration, grief, or whatever you want to call it. I'm not a shrink. Of course, when the paper came out, the fraternities read this arid reacted the same way you'd expect the rest of American to act on Osama bin Laden. One fraternity member wrote an opinion back, in retaliation, to what was written about his fraternity. Retaliation seems to be the motto in the U.S. right now, but a higher degree of vengeance was added to this opinion, calling the original opinion slanderous while harshly pointing out the virtuous aspects of the fraternities that the original authors did not see. Remember, The Pride represents the students' voice. Anyone can write and say whatever they feel like, and it's nice to see students using that privilege, but we're pointing our innocent "fingers of guilt" at each other. And that's wrong. These last few weeks have been hard on all of us. I'm not going to subject you to more examples of people being ridiculous to each other, because you all know what I'm saying, in one way or another. If you don't understand, go listen to some hippie music and you should get my point. I just don't whine like that. And I'll close with this statement from a smart guy, "Americans are all colors, all cultures, all beliefs, all opinions, all emotions, all people who want the $ame right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." The Pride Graduation A Student Problem I have attended this university for the past four years and am irritated by the fact that the administration of this university takes it upon itself to make decisions for us, the students, on matters that it knows affect us deeply, and in which we would like to partake, or at least be made aware of. When I inquired why we are kept out of the loops, and why our university administration fails to communicate such vital information to us, I was told that we were supposed to find out from ASI (Associated Students, Incorporated). When I asked them why they did not inform us, they didn't answer me, and told me that I should speak to them at a later date. ASI's lack of response to my inquiry, and our graduation committee's assumption that we would be fine with the decision just goes to show that they really don't care about what goes on here at CSUSM, so long as it does not affect them. The fact that we are eight months from graduating, and that at least half of the students on this campus still think graduation is at Palomar, not Del Mar, angers me. This university's administration and ASI obviously lack in their ability to make the students aware of vital information. (True, they did send out a flyer to students who had applied to graduation regarding the venues they had looked at, but this was not until after the decision was made). They say they tire here for the students, to serve and support them — this lack of communication proves otherwise. I sincerely hope that in the future we are all kept in the loop in matters that affect us in any way, shape, or form. We, as students, should have been and still should be allowed to: 1. Brainstorm/give feedback on ideas of places we thought were suitable to hold our graduation. 2. Vote on such a place in the same way we vote for our associated student government members. 3. If we really want to have graduation on campus we should be involved in a new search for an area closer to campus, and one which we do not have to be weary of entering upon our own risk (Palomar's track). 4. We should know why, how, and what was done about searching for a place — not just why it cannot be used. I personally would like to be involved in the search for a closer-to-campus-site committee, and would appreciate support from the rest of you,. CSUSM's student body. I know I will be told that there is no way we can have graduation on this campus (lie), or closer to campus. Of course the university will lose the deposit it gave Del Mar, so be it. We should have been notified before the decision was finalized. It also amazes me that only two current students were on the committee, which searched for a graduation site. Only two out of the 2,000+ students were notified and involved in the decision-making process. Is the rest of the student body just chopped liver? Do we have no say in what goes on here at CSUSM and how it affects us?

It would be greatly appreciated if all of you attended. We would also like you to sign a petition, which we will be circulating, to have graduation kept on campus. For those who cannot make the forum, please email me your concerns along with consent to read it at the forum and they will be read. Please remember to sign the petition ASAP.

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

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

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

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

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

Released on Feb. 20, the study examined changes in the amount and type of work being conducted by faculty. Compared to a similar study conducted in 1990, the amount of time spent teaching and stu­ dent advising has not increased, but the amount pf time* spent on activities outside the class­ room has added approximately two hours per week to faculty workload. As quoted in the North County Times, George Diehr, California Faculty Association (CFA) chapter president and CSUSM College of Business Administration faculty, said the findings may be a way for fac­ ulty to receive more time off for research and that CSUSM now what more research-oriented fac­ ulty.” The study attributed the increase in scholarly activities' and research to the expansion of the faculty’s knowledge base and the addition of younger faculty members. In addition, the CSU now has a larger, more complex student body, new technology, and a broader social spectrum, which Contributes to more diverse and challenging work for fac­ ulty. “CSU faculty members are hard-working, committed to their students, engaged in a wide range of scholarly and creative activ­ ities, and [they are] energetic in reaching into their communi­ ties,” said David Spence, CSU executive vice chancellor and chief academic officer, in a uni­ versity press release. The study, conducted in 2001, included 2,547 faculty members at 22 CSU campuses. Tenuffed two-thirds of the contributing participants. In addition to this study, Ana­ lytic Studies designed a survey to find out how students rate their college experience. Find­ ings indicated that professors at CSUSM spend a lower than , average amount of time inter­ acting with students outside the classroom. The disproportionate amount of time was attributed to the fact that CSUSM is a com­ muter campus, students don’t stick around to talk, and they go to work. The CSU is now in the pro­ cess of conducting a similar survey of tenured and tenuretrack faculty at other universities around the nation that are com­ parable to the CSU. The results will be available in the fall and will show similarities and differ­ ences between CSU faculty and national faculty. R e m e m b e r in g D r. L in loved his daughters very much.

Aside from my role as vice president, I am also the vice chair for the University Stu­ dent Union Advisory Board and an active member in the Envi­ ronmental Club. From my involvement, I have gained a vast knowledge of ASI and the university at large.

Students and faculty alike were left without electricity from 11:15 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. CSUSM student Jessica Smith said, “I had to take two of my exams in the dark. All of the students gathered by the win­ dows or sat under the emergency hallway lights to take the test. Out of all the buildings Univer­ sity Hall was the worst because there are hardly any windows.” “It was total chaos, I had to let my class go and just after the students left the power came back on,” said Tom Menden­ hall, a teacher’s assistant in the Literature and Writing Studies Department. According to San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E), “The outage prevented a potential, uncontrollable blackout in the San Diego area. The California Independent System Operator (Cal-ISO) ordered SDG&E to drop 300 MW of power imme­ diately. The resulting outage affected 101 circuits at 11 sub­ stations that serve portions of the following communities: Blos­ som Valley, Bonita, Carlsbad, Chula Vista, City Heights, El Cajon, Escondido, Fletcher Hills, Highland Valley, La Mesa, Lake­ side, Lemon Grove, Mission Hills, Mission Valley, down­ town San Diego, National City, North Park, Paradise Hills, Poway, Ramona, Rancho Ber­ nardo, Rancho Del Rey, Rancho Santa Fe, San Marcos and Sweet­ water.” Even though CSUSM has a generator it only provides light to some elevators and emergency halls.

Hamilton changed his plea in November to guilty while at the same time promising to find Vasseur’s body. No reason was given for Hamilton’s attempt to change his plea, as stated in the North County Times. “We can’t do much without him telling us the truth,” Hendren said. The suspicion fell to Hamil­ ton early due to his never return­ ing to work after Sept. 22, fleeing from police five days after Vas­ seur’s disappearance and a previ­ ous incident in which Hamilton blocked Vasseur from leaving his home until she hit him. At the preliminary hearing, witnesses testified that Hamilton said he killed Vasseur by acci­ dent during a fight with her and dumped her body in the desert, according to the North County Times. Prosecutors said Hamilton killed Vasseur when she tried to break off an affair with him, as reported previously. According to court papers, Hamilton had a history of vio­ lence toward women. A Wild Animal Park co-worker alleged that Hamilton sexually harassed her while in a primate exhibit in 1985. Hamilton also allegedly punched another woman with a closed fist and gave her a black eye. Vasseur’ husband, Charles, ^ said to the North County Times that he now has little hope his wife’s remains will ever be found. “I usually go out every once in awhile and look,” said Charles Vasseur last November. Financial Aid Director »>Article cont. from pg. 1. The advice Rizvi gives to students is to research schol­ arships and their requirements, understand deadlines and state requirements, and notify the office of any changes. According to Rizvi, the financial aid office has more reg­ ulations than the bank industry. He said, “While we give the money or checks to students, there are a lot of things going on in the back room. We have to keep in compliance with state standards.” All the CSU system finan­ cial aid offices would eventu­ ally move to a new system, as instructed by the chancellor, but Rizvi’s current concentration is on utilizing all the capabilities of the current system. Rizvi has a programming diploma and a master’s degree in Educational Counseling from National University in San Diego. He learned about the opening at financial md through his membership in California Association of Financial Aid Administrators (CASFA), which provides a list of job postings. Rizvi said he was not looking for a job, but he saw the open­ ing and became interested. He researched the position and became increasingly interested in the position when he was exposed to the technology and student-friendly service offered by the office. Rizvi replaced Paul Phillips, the former director of Financial Aid and Scholarship Office. Phil­ lips left the position last Decem­ ber, which he had held since the establishment of CSUSM in 1989. Before coming to CSUSM, Rizvi worked for USA Funds, the biggest national student loan company. He held the position of national director for two years, which ran a program with about a $5 million budget.

Vote Jocelyn Brown for ASI presi­ dent. Honee J. Folk The task of a leader is to get people from where they are to where they have never been before. My name is Honee J. Folk, and Lam running for ASI presi­ dent. With my proven leadership skills and consistent advocacy bn behalf of the student commu. nity at CSUSM, I plan to be the force that takes our community to where it has never been before. The college is quickly expanding and our community is expanding as well. We need a leader who is not afraid of change, welcomes expansion, and will be the voice of the entire community, not just a select few. I am that leader, your leader! A vote for me is an assurance that your voice will be heard. “It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stum­ bles ... the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood ... “ Put me in the arena for you. Vote for Honee J. Folk for ASI president. Anna Hall Pm running for the position of ASI president. I just recently decided on biology as my major because I want to be a high school biology teacher. If I am elected ASI president, I will do my best to bring unity to our very diverse campus. It is my belief and the belief of others at Cal State San Marcos that we have very little student campus life at our univer­ sity. I believe that I can unite our campus and give the students an active and vibrant campus life. I am the chairwoman of the Col­ lege Republicans on our campus and am involved with several other clubs. In working with the College Republicans, I have attained good leadership qual­ ities. I believe the best leader serves the people and that is my goal, to serve the students of Cal State San Marcos to the best of my abilities. ASI Undergraduate Represen­ tative Alan Avery-Medina I’m a full time first year stu­ dent with a major in business. I am running for ASI undergradu­ ate representative. I am currently the undergraduate representative and have served on the search committee for the ASI assistant executive director. I am a member of MEChA and also the Raza Graduation Representative. Fur­ thermore, I am the student leader­ ship advocate for the Educational Achievement and Retention Ser­ vices (EARS), which has been essential in building connections with my constituents. As under­ graduate representative, I will keep you informed of all news that affects your academic life by posting flyers, having infor­ mation on Cougar Channel, and open forums. I will strive to inform and motivate students to increase campus pride and social gatherings. I am a determined, motivated, and inspired student who will strive to make this a student-centered community. So vote for me, Alan AveryMedina. Shannon Barnett “How can I get involved on this campus?” was the first question I asked when I arrived last semester as an incoming freshman. My name is Shannon Barnett, and I am running for undergraduate representative. My major is liberal studies. Since asking my first question about getting involved, I have found a. variety of answers. First semes­ ter, I was in the Emerging Lead­ ers Program. Currently, I am chair of the ASI Programming Committee, an orientation teamlLeader, co-captain of the ASI Women’s Club lacrosse team, and philanthropy chair and assistant rush of Alpha Chi Omega. These activities have enhanced my leadership abilities while keeping me organized and well rounded. On a new campus where involvement is scarce and many students are unaware of what really goes on in ASI, I realize the importance of a great undergraduate representa­ tive. This campus lacks commu­ nity; I plan to take my knowledge and experiences and build upon them to establish goals we need to bring the student body, ASI and the faculty together. I will facilitate student needs by listen­ ing to the concerns and ideas of the entire student body. We need to voice our opinions and have them heard. I urge you to take a stand for your future. Vote for me, Shannon Barnett, for undergrad­ uate representative. Help make this campus a place for you. Jacqueline Campbell I’m a biology major cur­ rently working on my undergrad­ uate degree. I am running for undergraduate representative. As a member of Alpha Xi Delta, I have learned leadership skills, participated in community ser­ vice, as well as campus activities, and I know what it tak§s to repre­ sent a community of students. A representative speaks on behalf of the students he or she represents. I want to add more sports, activ­ ities, and clubs to this campus. I am the voice that will make these things happen, and I will do all in my power to make this campus great and a campus each and every student hopes for. Marc DeGuzman Leadership can be defined as creating a positive social change in a person’s life. As a freshman majoring in business administration with an emphasis in high-tech management, I see the potential this college pos­ sesses to transform from a com­ muter school into a place where active college life flourishes. Col­ lege life is not just going to dif­ ferent classes. It is a journey that students choose to embark on, filled with life long lessons and outlets to the “real world.” I want to help expand the pro­ grams and activities already pres­ ent, increase student involvement, voice student opinions and con­ cerns, and bring their ideas out in the open. I believe that I am qualified to be an under­ graduate representative because I posses leadership qualities and have applied them in past experi­ ences. By joining a fraternity on campus, I have learned to interact with other students on a deeper level. Through many leadership conventions and programs, I have learned different types of lead­ ership styles and have developed my own. I feel I am dedicated, responsible, and capable of taking the initiative to accomplish tasks successfully. Finally, I possess the desire to impact other peo­ ple’s lives in a positive manner. Angineen Lynnae Hardin As a recent graduate of the class of2001 from Mount Carmel High School, let me introduce myself. I am Angineen (Angi) L. Hardin and am currently a second semester freshman majoring in psychology. Throughout high school I was heavily involved in several clubs, organizations and sports..I participated in tennis, basketball and track. I was an active member in Key Club and Fellowship of Christian Athletes, a peer advocate and academic tutor. I held leadership positions in our African American Student Alliance such as historian, vice president and president. I was also honored with “Who’s Who Among American High School Students” award for two consec­ utive years. I have given the same dedication to my college career. I am currently the publicity coor­ dinator for the Pan African Stu­ dent Alliance here on campus and the assistant to the coordi­ nator of Academic Assistance of EOP/ASPIRE, Josephine Jones. I’m very excited about attend­ ing a new university. I believe becoming ASI undergraduate representative will be the perfect opportunity to learn more about CSUSM and give me the oppor­ tunity to be a part of several groundbreaking projects as the expansion and development of this university continues. I am a passionate student who is will­ ing and ready to accept the responsibility of representing my fellow undergrads as we develop CSUSM into our home. College of Arts & Sciences Representative Kristie McMullen I’m running for the represen­ tative of the College of Arts & Sciences from the Education Col­ lege perspective. I am a liberal studies major with a sociology minor. I have attended CSUSM for the past three years. In this time of being a cougar, I have seen many things improve and change for the better. Change and improvement is what I am all about. I have been sitting on the ASI Board of Directors as the under­ graduate representative for the past five months. In this time, I have learned what it is to be a representative of the students. I know that you all want a dedi­ cated individual who is willing to stand up for your wants and needs. For example, the parking permit-zoning situation was pre­ sented to me at a board meeting, and I made sure many of you were able to voice your opinions and thoughts. In doing this we, the student body, shut the pro­ posal down. I want to be able to serve each individual at CSUSM with as much voice as I can. Maria F. Schroeder I am applying for the posi­ tion of the College of Arts and Sciences representative. I want to be your voice, and voice your concerns to the leadership of CSUSM. As a communication major with a Spanish minor, I am more than qualified to accom­ plish this mission. Throughout my three years at Cal Stat San Marcos, I have been active on campus, primarily by being active in my sorority, Alpha Chi Omega. In this organization I have held various elected positions. Of these positions, one of the most impor­ tant was as Alpha Chi Omega’s representative to the Women’s Greek Council. As a delegate on the council, I voted on various issues important to the Women’s Greek community. This experi­ ence has prepared me to be your College of Arts and Sciences rep­ resentative. I believe a student representative should have an open mind, be proactive in voic­ ing student concerns to the lead­ ership of CSUSM, and always maintain an open door policy. If elected, I promise to respect every student concern that comes to my attention, and to deal with those concerns in an expeditious, prudent, and unbiased manner. If you want a College of Arts and Sciences representative that is dedicated to hearing your ideas, being your voice, and making sure that your voice gets heard, then vote for me, Maria Fernanda Schroeder. Shannon Tweed I’m a full time junior with a major in human development. I am running for the position of College of Arts & Sciences representative for ASI. I am an active student member in the Human Development and Vet­ eran’s Association clubs. I am also an EOP peer mentor on campus, which has provided me with knowledge and experience to assist students within my col­ lege while they navigate through this bureaucratic system. I am the best choice for Col­ lege of Arts & Sciences represen­ tative because as a U.S. Marine Veteran, I have the discipline, loy­ alty, and commitment to address the interests, needs and concerns of the student body in the Col­ lege of Arts &1Sciences. So vote for me, Shannon Tweed. College of Business Representative Matthew E. Coultas My intention, and overall responsibility, is to bring the opin­ ions of the students enrolled in the College of Business Admin­ istration (CoBA) program to the attention of the ASI governing board. In doing so, I will voice an accurate and forthcoming rep­ resentation of the wishes and concerns of those in the CoBA program. I will be responsible and dependable in the course of carrying out the requirements of the college of business represen­ tative position. By performing my duties in an honest and faith­ ful manner, I intend to become an asset to both ASI as well as the general student population. Deanna C. Garcia I am running for College of Business representative. This is my sixth semester at Cal State San Marcos, and I am work­ ing on my bachelor’s degree in business administration-service sector management. Currently, I am involved in a club on campus and have held two executive posi­ tions, one minor position, and have served on two committees within the organization. These positions has given me the oppor­ tunity to work closely with the executive board to make deci­ sions that benefit the group as a whole. I will bring many ideas, suggestions, an unbiased opinion and a good attitude to ASI. I plan to address all interests, needs and concerns of the student body of the College of Business as well as insure that the mission state­ ment of Cal. State San Marcos is upheld in the College of Business Administration. Terra Nelson I’m running for the position of ASI representative for the Col­ lege of Business Administration. If elected, I will be a new face to ASI; however, I am an old one here at CSUSM. I have been attending CSUSM since 1998, and I intend to graduate with a business degree in the spring of 2003. As I enter my eighth semester here at CSUSM, I have decided to join ASI because I want to bring freshness to the team and allow different voices and concerns on campus to be heard. I would be proud to serve in ASI because I believe in the values of intellectual engagement, community, integrity, innovation, and inclusiveness at CSUSM. Implementing these values will help me fulfill the vision of CSUSM becoming a distinctive public university in all facets of academic excellence, service to the community, and improving learning by new innovative meth­ ods. Since our college is so young, I hope to be a part of a team that will lay a strong foundation not only for today’s students, but also for the students of tomor­ row. I’m asking for the opportu­ nity to build and share the vision of CSUSM and develop a distinc­ tive school that we are proud to call our own. Scott O’Hare I’m enrolled in the College of Business Administration major­ ing in high technology manage­ ment.

How­ ever, I do realize tlie importance of what was written. Personally, I do not allow family or friends to extinguish cigarettes at my home by snuffing them out wher­ ever they like, but my home is not an institution. The staff writer who wrote this article could have better facilitated effective communication by mentioning how well our campus looks and how, in the effort to maintain its beauty, students could make an active effort to dispose of their cigarettes in their proper place. Furthermore, I find the imag­ ery used to get the point across ludicrous: “I catch myself dodg­ ing them as I walk to and fro.” The better approach to a mes­ sage such as this is by using positive powers of persuasion, not trying to heap upon smokers an insurmountable level of guilt. Reading The Pride, I believe, is for the purpose of assessing the progress and development of its staff and students, measuring how much we have achieved and discussing our future ambitions.

I would like to thank Mar- * * lino Bitanga for touching on the issue of identity theft in his article “Is Your Identity Safe?” in the February 26 edition of The Pride. Identity theft is an increasingly dangerous prob­ lem today. The Federal Trade Commission maintains a web­ site (http://www.consumer.gov/ idtheft/), which addresses this issue at length, as well as coun­ termeasures one can take to minimize risk (See the publi­ cation: ID Theft: When Bad Things Happen To Your Good Name ). Certainly moving toward an ID that is not based on social security numbers would be a good move for CSUSM to consider. I would also take care at public terminals, like the web lookup for book lists at the bookstore, where social security numbers are cached in the browser.

Deadline for submissions: May 2,2001. Dear Pride Readers, the weekend. In fact, I’m probably one of the few who have seen how des­ olate our campus can be by 6 p.m. on a Sunday. Still, I am writing this brief letter in hopes that some reader out there has the power to change the lounge hours. I am known for writing opinion articles of a human­ itarian nature, but not this time. This time I am writing to complain for my own personal benefit. As one of the editors for The Pride, I faithfully spend every Sunday in the newspaper office. I recently had this great idea. I could go to the student lounge, pop some popcorn and take a newsbreak (no pun intended, I am an avid news watcher). Unfortunately, Sunday is the only day our student lounge is closed. I realize that campus is not teeming with students on Hopeful, LISA LIPSEY Pride Feature Editor Compiled by JAMES NEWELL Pride Editor The masses are obsequious, contented in their sleep, the vortex of their minds ensconsed within the murky deep. The infirmity of man is brought on by his selfish core. So here we are again to experience the bitter, scalding end, and we're the only ones who can perceive it. But others sing of beauty and the story that has unfolded as one that deserves praise and ritual. My pessimistic lines, your superstitious lives, and the modem age's lies won't absolve you. And the professional truth and the dear clairvoyant youth, and, of course, the nightly news will deceive you.

Culture was the seed of proliferation, but it has gotten melded into an inharmonic whole. Consciousness has plagued us and we can not shake it - though we think we're in control. The person sitting next to you is dismal and deranged on the bus ride home from work to end your day. And the food on your table is more plastic than protein, and you intellect depends on your TV. Where is the justice when no one is at fault, and a human life is tragically wasted? How fragile is the flame that burns within us all to light each passing day? PROGRESS is a debt we all must pay. It's convenience we all cherish. It's pollution we disdain.

For those of you to whom this is groundbreaking news, WAKE UP! Yes, Cal State San Marcos has a surf team and has had four com­ petitions during the regular season. ASI added surfing to its list of approved club sports on January 25. The team is small at the moment, but has all the potential to become lively and popular within the next year and beyond. The surf team joined 23 teams at the Seaside Reef competition over President’s Day weekend and took sixth place. Shortboarder Jeff Fairbanks earned 20 points for the team, longboarder Dustin Franks earned 18 and after winning three consecutive heats, also took first place in the College Longboard Division. Fairbanks was a key player in this competition; shredding through five rounds and just missing advancement to the college men’s final. He took sev­ enth place overall. George Demarino, the team’s bodyboarder, had a strong supporting role, earning 13 points for the team and taking sixth place overall. Check out next week’s edition of The Pride for the results of their final regular season competi­ tion held on Feb. 24 in Huntington Beach.

Sports Paralympics Light Up Olympic Flame Again A Preview of What Is to Come By MELANIE ADDINGTON Arts Editor Beginning Saturday, March 9, Olympic fans can turn their TVs to A&E and watch the Paralympic Games. The Olympic flame will be relit and the world’s disabled athletes will compete in Alpine and‘Nordic skiing, and sledge hockey. In addition to competitive events, Canada and the U.S. will play an exhibition game of ice hockey. Over 36 countries and 1,000 athletes (The U.S. has 57 ath­ letes, 41 men and 16 women) will compete in the 2002 Games. The opening ceremony on Thursday, March 7 will include entertainment from Stevie Wonder, country singers Wynonna and Billy Gilman, pop perfomer Donny Osmond, and pop-classical violinist VanessaMae. NBC will air the one-hour program on Saturday, March 9th at 2 p.m. EST. What is the difference between the Olympics and Para­ lympics? Unlike the Olympics, the Paralympics use a classification system that enables athletes to compete on an equal level: all athletes compete with a pre­ determined degree of disability. Athletes are divided into three categories: LW classes (competitors with _ locomotive disabil­ ities), sitting LW classes, and B classes (competitors with visual impairment). was introduced by athletes at the Innsbruck 1984 Paralympic Winter Games. Since then, cross­ country skiing events have been split into two separate races: clas­ sical and free technique, accord­ ing to the Paralympics 2002 web site. Alpine Skiing Men and women will com­ pete in four alpine skiing dis­ ciplines during the Salt Lake 2002 Paralympic Winter Games: downhill, super-G, giant slalom and slalom. Courses differ in length, ver­ tical drop and number of gates, all of which dictate the skier’s technique and speed, according to the Paralympics 2002 web site. Giant slalom and slalom skiing events have been medal events since the first Paralympic Games. Downhill was added at the Innsbruck 1984‘Paralympic Winter Games, and super-G at the Lillehammer 1994 Paralym­ pic Winter Games. Ice Sledge Hockey Ice sledge hockey became an official event during the Lille­ hammer 1994 Paralympic Winter Games.

The athletes use a modified metal frame sled with two regu­ lar-sized ice hockey skate blades that allow the puck to pass under­ neath. A&E will have nightly cover­ age beginning at 6:00 p.m. EST, Sat., March 9 and ending with the closing ceremonies on Sat., March 16. For more information, go to www.paralympic2002.com.

Families large and small will be able to afford tickets - prices range from $5 to The Sports: Nordic Skiing Nordic skiing consists of two events - cross-country and biathlon. Cross-coun­ try skiing began at the 1976 inaugural Para­ lympic Winter Games in Ornskoldsvik, Sweden. How­ ever, biathlon did not become a medal sport until the Lillehammer 1994 Paralympic Winter games. The classical technique of cross-country was used by men and women athletes, until skat­ ing, (six to 10 percent faster), Keith Barney is goingfor the gold during Nordic Skiing.

I am a dedicated worker and a team player, and I believe these skills will help me contribute to ASI. Crystal Folk I am running for the ASI posi­ tion, vice president of finance. I am committed to student involve­ ment, as I am currently the repre­ sentative for the College of Arts & Sciences. I serve on the ASI Programming Committee, which is responsible for the many suc­ cessful events here on campus. I am a member of the Women’s Leadership Committee, which focuses on outreach to disad­ vantaged high-school students, which provides them with pos­ itive encouragement.

My participa­ tion on campus has allowed me to meet many different people and build my own vision for the future of CSUSM.

ASI Vice President of External Affairs Brett Gladys The time has come for us to take hold of our university and mold it into ‘our’ university! The time has come for change! The division that exists between stu­ dent government and the stu­ dents of Cal State San Marcos is wrong, and serves no one. I, Brett Gladys, am running for the posi­ tion of vice president of External The Pride Affairs so that I can work to rec­ tify this situation. In this posi­ tion, I will be able to work with students to promote change at Cal State San Marcos and to work on a statewide level with every Cal State University to fight for student interests. Cal State San Marcos needs leadership that is in touch with the needs and con­ cerns of students and is willing to work diligently for those inter­ ests. As vice president of External Affairs, I will communicate with students and speak for them at ASI and CSSA conferences. I will work to enrich the lives of stu­ dents and to see involvement on campus grow. Through campus pride initiatives and increased student involvement in the stu­ dent government, we can improve this university! There are great things on the horizon for Cal State San Marcos, and it is my wish that every student be a part of them. Glay Eyiinah Glay I am a full-time senior major­ ing in political science, with a minor in economics. I am run­ ning for the ASI position of vice president of External Affairs of ASI. As your ASI vice president of External Affairs, I will fight for issues that are important to CSUSM students: Low fees and tuition, smaller class sizes, increased funding for more diverse student activities and keeping you informed of policy changes that affect us. I am a veteran of the US Navy. I served in student lead­ ership positions in high school and military training school. I presently volunteer for MAMA’s Kitchen, serving hot meals to our unfortunate brothers and sisters in the greater San Diego area. I have the experience, commit­ ment, devotion, and loyalty nec­ essary to represent the voices and interests of Cal State San Marcos students in our effort to make this university a home away from home. So please vote for me. Thank you for choosing me. James Nguyen I am a political science major applying for the position of ASI vice president of External Affairs. I am currently an active Exter­ nal Affairs Committee member, a Student Fee Advisory Commit­ tee member, the vice president of the Progressive Activist Net­ work, and the president of the Asian Pacific Student Society. I was also in the inaugural class of the Emerging Leader Program at Cal State San Marcos.

Being a well-known indi­ vidual by many students, staff and faculty, my involvement on campus stretches well beyond the area of student government. I am a devoted student advocate actively involved with student life and student issues. My dedica­ tion to student life is a key con­ tribution I bring to ASI. In conclusion, what I have to offer the student body of CSUSM is broad experience in student government and student life that will help me effectively and effi­ ciently carry out the duties of vice president of External Affairs to its full potential. ASI Executive Vice President Arti A. Patel I am running for the position of executive vice president. I am a sociology major who will be graduating next June. The reason I am running is simple: there is a need to increase student involve­ ment on campus, and I feel I am the most qualified to handle that job. As the current executive vice president of ASI, I am in charge of placing students who want to get involved either through com­ mittees, focus groups or other activities/events in need of a stu­ dent voice. As a student who has been involved in many aspects of student life on this campus, I have observed the increasing need for student involvement and student voice. In my first week as the newly appointed execu­ tive vice president, I was able to recruit three students to fill cur­ rently vacant board of director positions, as well as place sev­ eral students on committees with openings. If elected as executive vice president for the 2002-2003 school year, I plan to implement programs such as a campus pride initiative, as well as other ini­ tiatives, that will help to build campus community.

Part of my job in the U.S. Army Finance Corps was to be the debt man­ ager for over 10,000 soldiers from two bases in Germany and also for the camps I was deployed to in Bosnia and Kosovo. This job required a lot of organization and efficiency. Coincidentally, these . very same skills are needed to be an effective ASI corporate secre­ tary. Being away from college for so long has helped me to appre­ ciate the opportunity I have to get involved and make a differ­ ence. To that end, when I came to CSUSM last semester, I hit the ground running. Instantly, I joined the lacrosse team, began sitting on the ASI External Affairs Committee, and started up the Progressive Activists Net­ work (PAN), of which I am the current president. One of the things I found striking about CSUSM when I came here was the lack of community, identity, and school pride. Through PAN, I have been trying to change that by collaborating and communi­ cating with several other student organizations and bring events to campus that will foster feel­ ings of community, identity, and school pride. For example, PAN’s monthly Socially Relevant Film Series (started this semester) has arranged to show films with PASA, the Women’s Studies Stu­ dent Association, APSS, and the Environmental Club. Right now, this campus is quiet and lacks a conspicuous identity, but it does not have to be like that. We have so much potential, to make this place fun, to make this place rock, and most importantly, to make this place ours. There have been times this year when student voices were not heard by the leadership of OSUSM, and sometimes that has been disastrous (i.e. the Com­ mencement controversy). As ASI corporate secretary, it would be my job to keep the information student leaders need to make informed decisions on past, cur­ rent, and future issues. But I do not feel that is enough. If elected, I promise to be a proactive secretary who is dedicated to keeping students abreast of cur­ rent issues, finding out how stu­ dents feel about those issues, and making sure that the leadership of CSUSM know how students feel about issues. If you want an ASI corporate secretary ded­ icated to keeping you informed, hearing your ideas, being your voice, and making CSUSM a place we can all be proud of, vote for me, Erik Roper. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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

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

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

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

In an effort to move toward a remedy and a better future, several options need to be examined and considered for widespread implementation. An easy avoidance method has been to pass the buck onto future generations. But now, it may be that a generation with the past on its shoulders chooses to role up its sleeves instead of turn its nose. As environmental damages, become more difficult to ignore, as the national population continues to grow exponentially, and as the world is once again facing political turmoil in the Middle East, a region economically crucial for its vast oil reserves, now may be the time to make more meaningful efforts to find alternative energy sources and step toward alternative living styles. the average miles per gallon figure of new cars and trucks deteriorated by nearly 8 percent, from 22.1 in 1988 to 20.4 in 2001, says Consumer Reports. Ideally, efficiency would be apportioned to improve emissions, miles per gallon (mpg), and horsepower. Overall, cars are only using about 15% of the energy in fuel; 75% of gasoline's energy is lost in the process of running the car. Because of this, the potential to improve fuel economy with advanced technologies is enormous. Motor vehicles need energy Here are the main options to accelerate (overcome inertia), currently being proposed by to push air out of their way experts: (aerodynamic drag), to overcome the friction from tires, wheels, More-efficient technology and axles (rolling resistance), as well as to run accessories Technology today, with like air conditioning and power all of its advancements and steering. When engine friction, breakthroughs, is primarily waste heat, and other various funneled into boosting losses such as these are eating horsepower. In spite of paved three quarters of the energy and congested streets, the content in a gallon of gasoline,, majority of vehicle engines opportunities to improve fuel are still being tuned to provide economy are commodious. more horsepower instead of better gas mileage. From 1981 Each of thefinaluses of energy to 2001, average horsepower represents "an opportunity increased 84 percent, and 0-to- to improve fuel economy," 60-mph acceleration improved according to the EPA.

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

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

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

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

Confused and distraught, you are contemplating what you have just read in the title. Trust me, this trick is much more difficult to perform than it would ever be to read! Surfing may possibly be one of the greatest spectator sports. Some people agree that it is even better when you are out there in the water doing it yourself, trying to be one of the 'big boys.' learned this trick from a magazine called Transworld Surf. The issue is entitled, "Emision de Santa Cruz." I can't even do this trick yet, nor do I think that I ever will be able to; however I'm improving with practice. This trick, according to the magazine, ranks very high on the difficulty meter. My best advice would be to stretch really well and do a lot of practice heats before attempting this. First, start off by "hauling ass," meaning you should begin paddling as fast as you can to gather up enough speed before you come barreling down the wave. When you reach the bottom of the wave, whip off Here is a trick to try the next time you are out in the water. I the lip and keep your weight as light as possible while keeping centered on the board. As you whip off your lip, your board should now be freely flying through the air. Your back foot should be placed firmly on the tail of the board while the front foot places itself on the nose and at the same time prepare yourself for landing. When you land, pound the nose of the board with your front foot into the water, keeping your weight centered so the whole' board hits the water. If your front foot is not centered, the tail will shake, causing you to lose all balance and inevitably you will crash horribly as the wave rolls over you. The last step for this trick is to stand on the nose of your board and ride backward for a little bit, only so you look cool while you're riding in the wave, actually proving that you have just pulled something off. The feeling of accomplishment will soon override your whole body, allowing you to feel like you can do anything. doing airs. Don't get me wrong though, doing airs can be every surfer's dream, at the same time every surfer's nightmare. Nowa-days, doing airs are required in any professional surfing competition because almost every pro is able to perform them; and when they do, they do it really well, with complete accuracy I know this trick sounds really and perfection. hard to perform, but it almost Therefore, competition like doing a snap (or cutback), amongst individual surfers are only you're in the air. One of the first and foremost constantly rising because new things is to gather, up enough tricks are invented almost everyspeed. Without the right amount day and it is hard for an amateur of speed, it will be difficult for like, you and I to keep track with you to rise your board out of the this fast paced world of surfing water, and if you can't do that, expedition. So, let me be the first then you might as well learn a to wish you good luck, and may new trick that does not involve the force be with you! �THE PRIDE OPTNTON Stop 'Spinning' And Just Say Thank-You By GAIL TARANTINO News Editor While checking out the school's homepage before the semester started, I came across a temporary link* regarding the parking fee increase. Because I'm a glutton for punishment, I decided to read it. That was a big mistake because I'm still mad. > This piece of propaganda from parking services starts out explaining the parking fee increases by saying how "we've had it pretty good," because, before 1999, parking was either free or 12-14 dollars a month. The article actually refers to our dismal parking condition as "our happy, low-cost parking situation." First of all I don't consider parking services (or the adminis- ment increases, a lack of space tration for that matter) a part of and how our "individual deci"we." The students and parking sions to drive alone each day" to school are a "luxury that is increasingly expensive." I want "The 155 percent [parking] parking services to explain how fee increase we all enjoyed to make carpooling and public this semester made Cal transportation work when we all have different schedules, job State f a n and family responsibilities; and live all over the county. I guess it's easier to imply that parking fees increased because students services are not in this together. don't carpool or ride the bus. Secondly, it infuriates me to be told how good I've got it because Another interesting statement years ago students didn't have to was that "while parking fees at pay for plentiful parking. other CSU campuses have been in the general range of those at The author of this piece goes Cal State San Marcos, 11 of the on to explain that the parking other campuses have proposed fee increases are necessary to increases". This suggests to me raise money for future parking that even with the increase, our structures because of enroll- 155 percent fee increase we all enjoyed this semester made Cal State San Marcos the highest in the CSU system. I understand about budgets, building funds and bonds. I understand that we have to step up and pay more for less, so that the next generation of students won't have it worse. But I am sick to death of the spin and propaganda put out by parking services and pubic relations and I don't want to hear it anymore. It's an insult to my intelligence. Instead of telling us "how good we've had it" acknowledge our parking fees are in line with the efforts and sacrifices and just tell other CSU schools. .However us thank-you. Bruce Kauffman of the North County Times, reported in an • www.csusm.edu/parking/ article dated 1/19/03 that the parking_fee_increase.htm PSTTQM ctii/Wit ciihmiccirm Anti-War Movement Fo p g 2 rm ae entire procession of protesters to reach the rallying point of city hall. Contrary to Vietnam era stereotypes of anti-war protesters, the protesters were largely representative of a multi-racial spcio-economically diverse mainstream America. There were soccer moms pushing strollers covered in peace signs, grandparents hoisting signs proclaiming "No War - Not In Our Name " kids of all ages beating all kinds of makeshift drums giving the march a sort of heartbeat, a small elderly marching band playing John Lennon's Imagine, working class types holding pro-union signs and shouting "¡Si Se Puede!" conservatively attired protesters holding signs saying things like "No Blood For Oil" and "Disarm Bush," and there were hippies protesting too. During the protest, Lessel remarked on more than one occasion that he was, "...surprised that most of the protesters looked like ordinary Americans.. .because [he] was kind of expecting to see nothing but your stereotypical hippies." In the Jan. 13 issue of the San Francisco Chronicle, Ruth Rosen wrote, "Never before in human history has an anti-war movement grown so fast and spread so quickly. It is even more remarkable because the war has yet to begin. Publicized throughout cyberspace, the antiwar movement has left behind its sectarian roots and entered mainstream culture." Jan. 18 was a day of both national, and global antiwar protesting with protests simultaneously occurring in various major metropolitan areas around the U.S. and in over 30 nations. CNN.com reported that the week before the protest, the FBI sent a bulletin to over 18,000 law enforcement organizations around the nation warning them to be ready for the possibility of violent protests. CNN.com reported after the protest, "There were no reports of such incidents, or of any violence or confrontations." In Washington DC, three dozen people protesting the anti-war protests gathered at the Vietnam War Memorial to offer their support to the Bush administration's policy on Iraq. One of these protesters was *55 year-old Scott Johnson, a Navy veteran from Minneapolis who asserted that, "The protesters don't understand the threat of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein... k's a war of liberation for people." This past weekend, U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell told European political and business leaders at a conference in Switzerland that the U.S. remains willing to attack Iraq alone. CNN.com reported that, "In a 30-minute address that broke no new ground but attempted to enlist world support for U.S. military action against Iraq, Powell rejected criticism from delegates that the United States has not provided enough evidence that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein retains weapons of mass destruction." Powell went on to say, "The more we wait, the more chance there i s,for this dictator with clear ties to terrorist groups including al Qaeda— to pass a weapon, share a technology or use these weapons again. The nexus of tyrants and terror, of terrorists and weapons of mass destruction, is the greatest danger of our age." Judging by the language of the signs and chants at the San Francisco protest, it would be safe to say that the protesters reject the Bush administration's pro-war arguments. CSUSM student and first-time protester Tasha Iglesias said she was glad she'd driven herself and three other CSUSM students to San Francisco for the protest. She Photo c ourtesy o f w ww.internationalanswer.org. remarked that, "It's just so nice to know that I'm not really crazy, that I'm not alone, that there are -actually TONS of people who feel the way I do about this issue. I mean, before I came to this protest, from watching the news I actually thought that there weren't many other Americans who were against a war with Iraq. But I'm glad I came here because now I know I was wrong to think that." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

"These students will be penalized by 'double dipping' tuition." The increase comes on the heels of a $50 per unit increase already in place at California Community Colleges. Officials at Palomar College reported a 53 percent drop in the number of college graduates enrolled this spring. College graduates have become the latest target for fee hikes at California State Universities with an increase that could shoot as high as $4,500. Beginning this fall, graduates who have a bachelor's degree will be required to pay a "differential fee," $150 more per unit than non-graduates.

Stacy added that many of the students teachers and nurses. This adds to the impact forecasted by a report called "Economic Impact of the CSU on the California Economy," written by Robert Girling of Sonoma State University, Sherry Keith of San Francisco State University and George Goldman at the University of California, Berkeley. The report suggests that budget cuts will result in a 7 percent to 12 percent decrease in thé number of degrees granted each year by t h e 20 CSU campuses for the next nine years. Teaching is likely to suffer because CSU trains nearly 75 percent of California's public school teachers, the report said. Stacy closes campus after power outage ROMAN S. K E /EDITOR-1N-CHIEF O NIG Cal State University San Marcos President Dr. Bill Stacy shut down the campus Feb. 18 after yet another major storm pummeled the county, leaving the campus without power. According to Stacy, San Diego Gas & Electric crews were called to the area after a power outage along Barham Drive cut electricity to the university. Stacy said that despite the inconvenience of the outage, it gave the university the opportunity to test its back-up electricity generator. "We have an emergency generator and back-up power on campus, and it was t h e first time we had occasion to turn it o n — and it failed," said Stacy. Stacy said h e was told that power would not be restored forfiveor six hours after SDG&E crews made it to the scene, so h e cancelled classes for the day since many rooms without windows and rooms with computers could not be used. He said that in hindsight, however, this was a mistake. He said "the president's inexperience with the power going off in California" led to thedecisiontoclosethecampus, "which was a big mistake to do." Stacy explained that power was restored considerably earlier than the original time estimate, and late afternoon and evening classes could have been held. He said that one professor who was at a conference during die day in Los Angeles rushed back down in driving rain to meet her class only to find the campus closed. "They told u s it would be two to three ROMAN S.

Well, they were able to repair itwithin two hours," said Stacy. T h e president said that although closing the campus may not have been the best idea, it was necessary for safety since it was impossible to work in the darkened conditions. Stacy also indicated thattheeventcalled attention to having a ôet plan for similar situations in the future. "Now looking at it, I'm sorry we didn't have a system to coordinate (closing) and opening (the campus)," h e said. Major rains also caused flooding last Friday on the first floor of Craven Hall, leaving approximately two inches of water in some offices and in t h e Student Health Services center, an official with the center said. Workers at t h e scene cleaning up the flooded offices refused comment on the situation, and officials with the Facilities department could not be reached for comment as to t h e flood's cause. �wkaú/\¡ews WASC accreditation team coming to campus T h e campus community is asked to mark its calendars for t h e upcoming accreditation visit by a review board which will determine if Cal State San Marcos will be an accredited university, said Diane (Johnson) Martin, assistant vice president for academic affairs. The accreditation site visit by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) will take place March 23-26, she said. Students are encouraged to take part in the accreditation process by reviewing CSUSM's self-study, a document outlining the university's goals for its accreditation, said Martin. Copies of the document are available in the Associated Students office or on reserve in the library, she said. "The purpose of accreditation is that (it) establishes standards for universities... to further educational excellence," said Martin. aAnd then what happens is that each institution is responsible for defining its own characteristics for excellence." The university is then reviewed to see if it is meeting those goals. Accreditation is then decided by the visiting committee from WASC. She said students are also involved in the process, as the WASC officials interview members of the campus community to help determine their decision. According to Martin, interviewers will talk with a representative sample of the campus (i.e. students, staff, administration and faculty) and ask questions related to the self-study. The WASC officials then write up their report determining if the university is worthy of accreditation. Martin said that by reading and understanding the university's self-study, students can help meet the goals presented in the document. Additional information can be obtained by calling Martin at 752-4052 or Nancy Curry at 752-4129, Martin said.

T h e first effort is to get the facilities on campus," he said. "The second concern is inter-collegiate sports and that will require private fundraising." The college will look to private sources to help fund the program and to develop playing fields, which in the initial stages would be used for intramural sports. The state will foot the bill for the land for thefields,however Stacy said. this is where the state's commitment stops. In the meantime, faculty teams will concentrate on defining the curriculum for Physical Education majors. Planning is still in the early stages, but when the P.E. department comes on-line it will be on the cutting edge of 21st century technology, says Dr. Richard Millman, vice president of academic affairs. T her e are two ways to build a P.E. department," h e said. T her e will be no activity to train coaches or to teach someone to play volleyball." Instead, CSUSM will offer a "scientifically based physical education." That scientific base will include requiring students to become knowledgeable in biology, chemistry, anatomy and the science of motion. In addition to housing classrooms for a wide range of majors and a computer lab, the P.E. building will also be a center for fitness and recreation, Stacy said. �PIONEER / WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3 ,199 3 P lan s a r e c urrentl y in t h e works t hi s m ont h f o r a b ab y clothes and materials drive for women and men who a r e facing a crisis pregnancy.

"We looked at that issue early on," said Punch. "What we (including Zomalt) looked at was discrimination against homosexuals and as (the military, FBI, etc.) are government agencies as we are a government agency, we cannot prohibit their freedom of speech" justthe same as students can exhibit theirs in their interes t Punch said that since President Clinton h a s made some changes in terms of recruitment practices concerning the issue, the situation has been helped as well. Meeker, who manages the University Store (both are part of Aztec Shops), say they are aware of the problems facing students when it comes to food on campus:first,the lack of variety and / or healthfulfoodsatboth thecafé and bookstore, and secondly, the fact that the café closes at 2 p.m., leaving afternoon and evening students with insufficient food availability. T ogether , M arten s and Meeker are planning to offer a greater variety of foods to better fit the needs of morning, afternoon and evening students. Until the student population increases and the café can afford a larger workforce, it will con- tinue to close a t 2 p.m., according to Martens. Instead, she plans to improve the variety of food offered in the Dome Café. Plans include the opening of a taco bar offering tacos sold by the ounce, a pasta bar and perhaps a french toast and p ancak e b reakfas t available between 8 a m . and 10 a.m. For the health-minded, products by Naked Food will be offered.These include Naked Juice fruit and vegetable concoctions a s well as a variety of Nutrimental fruit and vegetable salads. In addition to the snacks already offered at the café, Martens said She also said that Scottwanted to interrupt the actual fair going on in the Dome, but was asked to p rotes t outside t h e building, which he did. "I understand Donald Scott's position," she said. "And while he h a s t h e r igh t to f reedo m of speech, so do the employers." D espit e t h e c ontroversy , Punch said that the inaugural career fair was a success. "The employer reactions were extremely favorable," she said, adding that the employers in attendance were given evaluation, forms that showed the enthusiastic response. Punch also added thatstudentevaluations were also very favorable. She said t ha t e mployer s pointed outthataccommodations for them were excellent and that the caliber of students was very high. Student evaluations showed t ha t t hey , too, w er e overall pleased but would have liked more recruiters, she said. According to Punch, some employers who planned to attend the fair pulled out at t h e last minute because of hiring freezes andfinancial constraints. Shealso said three applicationswere made with the Peace Corps during the event With the success of this first fair, Punch said she is now looking to next fall's career fair. She said the morning segment will consist of recruiters from businesses and the afternoon fair will focus on graduate schools. "If we. have a good response from recruiters now, it will build a foundations for future fairs," she said. SEE F O /PAGE 12 OD �Pioneer Respect freedom of choice, voice Freedom of speech and choice at a university campus is of paramount importance, as it apparently is at Cal State San Marcos. There was no greater example of that recently than during the Inaugural Career Fair, where student Donald Scott let it be Oar w known his views about lifting the ban on gays in the military. Although Pioneer a gree s with this stand, it is also equally important for others to express the'opposite view, as was shown by the presence of military recruiters during the career fair. Career Center Director Sandy Punch and other university officials made the right decision in letting the recruiters on campus for this reason. No matter how one looks at it, the lifting of the ban is imminent, and no matter how thin you slice it, gays are in the military already — they always have been. Until the day comes when the ban is lifted, however, it is important to show tolerance towards the military's current position, and to allow other students the freedom to chose a military career. GHrrŒffTDSMK MET tewe THE m C B O R T ï B t f When it comes to problems, the best policy is totellit like it is If there is one thing a journalist can't stand ifs being dictated to over what is or is not a story. One recent event on campus drove that home for me. These last two months are fast going down in San Diego history as some of the wettest on record. This would surely have an unanticipated effect on the workings of brand new buildings. As a result, leaks, floods and power outages would be expected here at Cal State San Marcos as kinks in the structures are being worked o u t Apparently, however, some in the Far ciMesdepartmenttake this very seriously; seriously enough to dictate to me the importance of stories concerning these issues. LastFriday, a s l went to Student Health Services to take care of some business, I was told by one of the officials there that there had been a flood on thefirstfloor of Craven Hall, where Student Health Services is located. Sure enough, behind a doorway in the complex there were Facilities workers cleaning up the mess left by the flood. I had my camera bag and notebook in hand, thinking that this might make an interesting story for the paper. For the first round, when I asked about what had happened, all I got were dirty and suspicious looks, as if there was a cover-up or Point With this reasoning I said that there wasn't, and one of them snapped back at me with a quick "Yes, there are." Next, I asked why they weren't being cooperative and they claimed that it would make them look bad if this situation were reported in the paper. Maybe it's just me, but there's nothing "bad" about seeing Facilities workers rushing diligently to clean up and solve a problem. Sure, they may have been under a tremendous amount of stress, but that gave them no right to dictate to me the importance of the story; they could have just amply referred me to the head of the department for information. Ironically, no one was at the office when I called and the voice mail system was not answering. Come press time this week, I had no choice but to run a blurb about the incident with little if any information. The fact is that there is something wrong with the buildings if they are flooding like Craven Hall, and the campus community has the right to know about i t But apparently, some people in Facilities don't see it that way. They gave the appearance that problems with the buildings are to be kept secret from the people who utilize the facilities every day. By doing t ha t they give the whole operation an appearance that is much more suspicious than I know it really is. o^ {/i&w ROMAN S. KOENIG something. This, however, was only t h e tip of the iceberg. Afterfinishingmy business in Student Health Sendees, I promptly left and went around to the front entrance of the building on the first floor. Just past the entry way to my right was the same hallway filled with what seemed like two inches of water on the floor. Just as I got my camera out of the bag, the workers stopped what they were doing and l ef t I asked them what was wrong and they said they didn't want their picture taken. I had no problem with that whatsoever. I f s always been my belief that if someone doesn't want a newspaper camera in their face, that right should be respected. I thought then I could at least get some information about what had happened. Then they got hostile with me, telling me that there were more important things to cover on campus. ...Not on a stormy Friday afternoon. Cal State San Marcos President Dr. Bill Stacy, when interviewed about the campus closure after the power outage on Feb. 18, had no problem telling Pioneer that there may have been flaws in how the closure was handled. He even put a bright side to i t saying that it brought to light the importance of haviiig a set plan in future instances of that nature. Those in Facilities who think that not talking about the problem is the avenue to take should reevaluate their way of thinking. The treatment I received last Friday was unfair to me, unfair to the campus community and unprofessional to say the least Physical problems, as I said, are to be expected in a new building, and although the flood looked bad, it would have been simple to explain what the problems were and how they were being rectified rather than to hide them under the table as these workers deemed necessary to do. If everyone treated me or any other reporter of this newspaper with the attitude that they can judge what goes in this publication, Pioneer would not be the independent campus voice it is striving to be. And the losers in that scenario would be you, the reader. �öfreetTäl» Q uestion : How could the Rodney King trial been handled better?

Letter shows writer's ignorance about gays I am in complete shock and utter disbelief after reading Irving Davis' letter regarding gays in the military in the last issue of the Pioneer. This disbelief stemsfromt h e fact that even now, in 1993, there is still ignorance in regards to the homosexual lifestyle and what it entails and the stupidity Mr. Davis shows when discussing AIDS. The question of letting gays in the military is moot There have been gays in the military since day one. If gays haven't made great contributions to the armed services, Mr. Davis, then why are gay veteran groups all over the country? There isa misconception that gay men are always on "the make" and that they only joined the military to meet men. I know of several gay men and women who have been (and actively still are) a part of our defense system. T hes e men and women joined for the same reasons that heterosexuals have: to serve their country, to get money for college and to see the world. Mr. Davis says to be aware of the "smokescreens" homosexuals are using to advance in society under the "guise of legal rights and discrimination.'' This is not a smokescreen. Your sexual orientation should make no difference in the workplace or in our existence in society; we are human beings just like everybody else and wish to be treated as so. We aren't asking for special privileges in this world, just for the discrimination and hatred against u s to end. As far as the death sentence we are all facing, do you not realize that the rate of Believe m ewhenlsay being gayisnot a choice. If it was do you think I would choose to be an object of ridicule and degradation by society and to hear ignorant people such a s yourself spou t s uc h prejudicial statements about something I had no control over? As far as "inevitable early death" that members of thegay community face, what do you base this on? Yes, there have been many members of thegay community who have died before their time (as the song says "...only the good die young."), but homosexuals lead long, h ealthy and extremely productive lives — just a s heterosexuals do. I'm sorry to be the one to break this to you Mr. Davis, but we have been around for thousands of years and we will be here 'till the very end. You say our lifestyle offers no excuse and no future? It is true thathomosexualrelationships do not bring about procreation, but let me just say that I am looking to a very bright future. I am a junior here at CSU San Marcos working ongettingmyBachelor'sdegreeinEnglish and my teaching credential (yes, Mr. Davis, I am going to be a teacher. Can you handle that?). (/iect/g PUBLIC FORUM h eterosexual s contractin g AIDS h a s surpassed the homosexual community due to I.V. drug use, blood transfusions and unsafe sex practices? Although the gay community h a s received most of t h e attention in regards to the plight of AIDS, that is only because we are one of the few segments of society trying to educate misinformed people like yourself, Mr. Davis. AIDS is not a gay disease, it is everybody's disease. It has no face. T h e "wild plight ... into an early demise" that the gay community is heading for is absolutely blasphemous. We are not looking for a hedonistic existence. Like heterosexuals, we too are looking for that special someone, a loving partner and companion, and I am not asking for yours or society's approval on how I live my life. I am sure my dating practices are far tamer and safer than most heterosexuals. As far as the self-inflicted misery that accompanies being gay, that too is also untrue. The only misery afflicted upon me is by the uninformed members of society like yourself, Mr. Davis. Being gay is not something you choose. I knew I was different as far back as grade school. I was born this way, I wasn't recruited! I am also in a loving monogamous relationship with a law e nforcemen t student whom I hope to be with for a long time. No future, Mr. Davis?

Those patterns make life more real to me.' Dr. W. Komla Amoaku, director of Visual and Performing Arts I tV a rhythm that binds the mind, body and spirit Andfor Dr. W. Komla Amoaku, director of Visual and Performing Arts at Cal State San Marcos and the band Sankofa, the music is a rhythmic melody that comes straight from the soul. From traveling around the world, Amoaku, a native of Ghana and a virtuoso of t h e drums "Gyembe" and "Apantema," discovered diverse cultures have a common link. T h e result is Sankofa, a band that incorporates a cross-cultural blend of Afndmmusicand dance, calypso and American jazz. Amoaku's travels led to his interest in exploring the influence ofAfrican music in South America and the Caribbean. "I wanted to identify some of t h e elements in those various styles of African music," he said. The music had "a common ancestry, an ancestry that can be traced to a common root. Regardless of where you find it, those elements are always there,* Common e lement s flow through the heart of all art forms in Ghana. Unlike Western cultures, Ghanaians don't categorize music, dance and art, Amoaku said. Rather than approaching music intellectually u sin g a structured format, artists approach t hei r c raf t intuitively. Children play games that reinforce an attitude toward rhythm. Where Western cultures develop the eyes before the ears, Ghanaians develop the ears before the eyes, he added. "I was born into a society that views the arts as an integral part of everyday life," h e said. "My exposure to the arts came by virtue of my being part of my traditional environment." Amoaku began playing the drums at the age of 5 when his uncle gave him a toy drum. The child of an artistic family, he learned by example, imitating adults and participating in adult activities. Rhythm became incorporated into everyday life. "For me the drum is like pouring out my soul," he said. "It is a rhythm and speech instrument. So I was naturally drawn to it." Because of the instrument's ability to vary its pitches, the drummer can approximate the intonation and the rhythm in the traditional Ghanaian language. "It's like singinga melodic line. Those patterns make life more real to me." Not that Amoaku was without Western musical training. While in college he studied classicalguitar, however the two had a rather strained relationship.

Why is it considered rare? As Sprague explained it, the group seldomly meets for concerts because members of t h e quartet belong to other musical organizations. "It's a very high-maintenance group," said Sprague, adding that this is t h e first time the group has met for a performance infiveyears. T h e consort is made up of t hre e jazz musicians and four classical symphony artists. Works to be performed include originals by Sprague, and pieces by Bach, Mozart and pianist Chick Corea. A resident of Del Mar, Sprague has toured, made 21 records and h a s played and worked with the likes of Corea and bassist Bob Magnusson. Sprague said that t h e String Consort came about six or seven years ago after h e was inspired by pianist Corea. Sprague says that h e g et s inspiration for his works from one simple thing. "Mostly (my works are) originally inspired by either (musicians) that I've heard or actual people," h e explained. "One (song) is called 'Amadeus,' written for M ozart , and ' Mahavishnu ' f o r J oh n McLaughlin, a great jazz guitarist.'' Along with the consort, Sprague plays with other groups, including his Electric Band, in which he plays a guitar synthesizer Born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1955, Sprague and his family moved to Del Mar in 1963 after spending time in Colorado. He took up guitar at t h e age of 12, later studying with San Diego jazz guitarist Bill Coleman and forming his first group, t h e Minor Jazz Quartet.
