Gov. B rown proposes new budget
in s upport o f CSU system
B Y MELISSA MARTINEZ
N EWS EDITOR
Last fall, Governor Jerry
Brown gained the support of
California State University
students with his new budget
proposals aimed at keeping tuition from increasing.
With the success of Prop. 30,
some CSU students received
a reimbursement of $249, or
nine percent of what tuition
was raised in fall 2012.
With the start of the new
year, Gov. Brown released
his 2013-2014 proposal for
the state budget, including
$125.1 million in funding towards the CSU system.
Gov. Brown stated that
$10 million of the proposed
budget will benefit students
for advancing through their
degree program without having to deal with "bottleneck"
courses, which often causes
the students degree progress
to be extended longer than
anticipated because they are
waiting for a particular lower
division classes or prerequisite for their major.
Governor Jerry Brown addressing the budget.
Gov. Brown's support for
the CSU system is needed,
since it has continuously lost
financial support over the
last several years. According to a press release of CSU
Public Affairs, the-CSU has
lost more than 30 percent of
state funding.
CSU Chancellor Timothy
P. White has stated, "We appreciate the Governor's recognition that California will
benefit from the investment
of state funds into higher education. The proposed budget heads us in the right direction. It will allow the CSU to
address the unprecedented
demand for high quality education at our institutions, as
well as areas of critical need.
We still face many fiscal
challenges and will continue
efforts to operate efficiently
and effectively, and seek out
additional innovative ways
to control costs."

T HE H EART BEAT: Athlete spotlight: Bridgette Stevens
Healthy eating is only half the battle Distance runner f or track & field
B Y CURTIS BOVEE
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
It has become obvious
that portion sizes have gotten larger over the decades-throughout restaurants and
grocery stores.
According to the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, more than one-third
of U.S. adults and approximately one-fifth of children
and adolescents aged 2-19
years old are obese.
Portion sizes have certainly
fueled this obesity epidemic.
According to the American
Dietetic Association, the
size of dinner plates has increased by 36 percent over
the last decade.
It is no secret, that more
food on your plate, the more
you will eat. Making less
food every meal is a great
way to combat portion control issues. Having an abundance of food at the dinner
table is far worse than not
having enough, which in all
actuality is probably enough.
From the lack of nutritional food offered to the overwhelmingly large portion
sizes, America's restaurants
are contributing to the obesity problem rather than helping it. For example, at Outback Steakhouse, a popular
chain-restaurant throughout
the globe, an order of MacA-Roo 'N Cheese yields
over 600 calories, with greater than 220 of those from
fat. It is safe to
say that this
menu item
is popular
a mo n g s t
the youngsters; however, there is
no reason why
an 8 year old
should consume all
of this in one sitting.
Solution? Allow your
child to eat less than half,
and order a side of vegetables. Your caloric total will
still be around half of the
entire portion, while offering
nutritional value.
Importantly, don't forget
about what is on your plate.
Just because you are eating less doesn't give you
permission to eat anything.
The USDA recommends
that half your plate should
be fruits and vegetables. For
the remainder of your plate,
about half should be a protein source and the other half
should be whole grains. Using this as a template should
make it easy to determine
how much of each kind of
food you should be consuming.
When attempting to eat
less, cravings are inevitable,
thus stressing the importance
of snacking. To help with
portion control, try eating
snacks throughout the day.
Include things like fruit and
vegetables, and foods with
healthy fats like nuts. Nuts,
B Y JESSIE GAMBRELL
OPINION EDITOR
including walnuts, pecans
and almonds offer healthy
fats, keep you fuller longer
and are easy to pack and take
anywhere.
What you are drinking is
just as important. Soda is
incredibly harmful to your
health, and is over-consumed in America because
it is cheap and easily accessible. Most sit-down restaurants offer free refills of
soft beverages, which seems
inexcusable given the large
glass sizes. Did you know
that one can of Coca Cola
contains the equivalent of 10
teaspoons of sugar? Replacing soft drinks with water at
the dinner table can drastically decrease chances of
obesity and rapidly improve
health.
Remember, portion cpntrol
is not easy. Fortunately, it
is far better for your health
than some fad diet and it is
something you can practice
forever to improve your
health.
Bridgette Stevens has been
running for CSUSM for her
entire four year college career. She has been competitively running since middle
school, but has always loved
to run. She is also a kinesiology major with plans to
be a physical therapist once
she graduates, and has been
working at the Clarke for
two years, sporting her time
as an active member of the
CSUSM community.
Question: How do you
like your team?
Answer: Overall our team
is really good, we have sent
many people to nationals.
Last year we sent 26 people
into the nationals.
Q: Have you already
started to practice for your
February season?
A: Yes, we (long distance
runners) have been practicing six days a week. I like
the practices it really relieves
stress for me and I like spending time with my friends.
Q: When did you start
running?
A: I started doing things
with track in 4th grade,
but didn't really get into
the competition till middle
school. Then I ran for Mission Hills high school and
was rankedfifthon the Cross
Country team.
Q: Being a senior, what
are your plans for once you
graduate?
A: I might want to do some
triathlons or 5k's to keep
running, but I want to be a

an eight game winning streak
that they will look to keep

points to any opponent and
averaging .80 points per win.

College and currently No. 7,
66-52 at home.
As a result of the Cougar's tremendous string of
victories, they have climbed
up to a No. 8 ranking in the
country, the school's highest
ranking in the NAIA coaches
poll to date. The last time the
cougars cracked the top 10
was earlier this season when
they were ranked ninth but
loss the next game to defending champion Concordia.
CSUSM has bounced back
immensely since the defeat
and hasn't looked back winning 11 of the last 12 games

streak.

would have
hoped with \
losing sev- X*
en of the
last ten
games
the season 7;
during the winter break dropping to 9-16 after
entering the break at
6-7.
CSUSM has not been able
to generate any offense during the stretch of losses,
being held under 60 points
each of the times. The Cougars season went south after
a loss in the Arizona Christian University Basketball
Classic earlier this season
and CSUSM has only won
one game against Simpson
College 76-73 at home on
Jan. 3.
The bright spots in what is

FEATURES EDITOR
In Toby Keith's good-time
anthem "Red Solo Cup" he
sings, "Red solo cup, you're
not just a cup/you're my,
you're my friend/thank you
for being my friend." For the
past couple of years now, this
song has been played to bring
people together and enjoying
being in each other's company. As college students,
we study hard during the
week but live for the weekends when we can have fun,
a concept that entrepreneur
Ryan Craig understands.
Craig, a San Diego State
student who transferred from
Palomar community college,
created his own clothing
company, "Red Cup Tour,"
which illustrates our generation with Ae depiction qf
the infamous plastic red cup.
With the company's website
up and running, as well as
stylish shirts available for
purchase, we sat down with
the designer.
Question: What inspired
you to start a clothing company? What does the "Red
Cup Tour" represent?
Answer: I feel there are all
these clothing companies. I
wanted to create something
about simplicity and relationships, the people you C l
e
ebrate with. It wasn't about
creating a clothing company
but the idea~and expanding
from that idea.
Q: Why did you choose
the "red solo cup' as the
logo for your brand?
A: First off, [red solo cups]
are everywhere. It's the universal symbol of people together and having a good
time. The line isn't about
beer pong or drinking per
se but to live life to it's full-
Now that the Christmas
season has ended and the
new semester has begun,
giving back to the community and donating to charity is
often at the back of people's
minds.
However, the people in
need of your help are not
just seasonal based. They
are around you at all times,
and they include students
on campus. Even if you are
already busy amidst your
homework and classes, here
are two easy ways to help the
people around you, even if it
is just during a study break.
One way to immediately
give back to the CSUSM
student body is by helping
Summit Church (across the
street from CSUSM and next
to The Quad) with their Food
Distribution program. Summit is in need of volunteers
that are willing to help pass

1:00 p.m. and the actual distribution would take place
from 2:00 p jn. to 3:00 p.m.

clothing line. Photo courtesy of Ryan Craig,
est. Our tagline is "Thirst for
Life.' That explains it all.
Q: How has the journey
been from an idea to putting designs together to
selling your product?
A: It's been a while, actually, a year that I started
working on the idea. I found
resources from my friends
to my family and them helping me out. You just have to
tell yourself everyday to do
something even if it's going to be a mistake, at least
I tried. It takes a lot of planning. It's not just drawing
something in class and putting it on a shirt.
Q: Where do you get inspiration for your designs?
A: I didn't want anything
too cheesy. Its just things I
find entertaining and think
other people would like. I
take in the world around and
use certain things in my life.
Q: How do you balance
school and running a business?
A: I've never thought I
needed to be in school to be
successful. I want to create
jobs for others and myself.
If I had the choice between
reading a business book over
a textbook, I would choose
the business book. In my
opinion, education is too
7
streamlined. Ifindit successful to teach yourself. I still
have to balance school. For
me, school is more networking and I take it upon myself
to learn what I need to.
Q: What future plans do
you have for the "Red Cup
Tour"?
A: Every clothing line has
collections, so I have some
upcoming releases seasonally. There will be different
designs and clothes, some
surprises. Eventually* backpacks and other accessories
but I don't want to give too
much away.
Q: What advice do you
have for aspiring entrepreneurs?
A: Be a self-learner. You
can't completely rely on others to do everything for you
but allowing their help. Definitely know your strengths
and weaknesses. Find others that can supplement your
weaknesses. Also to fail faster, by that I mean learn by
failing because it's a quicker
path to success. This is the
best time to make mistakes.

major Amalia Wood created
the piece "Sobering Up,"
which featured a brightly
colored canvas that showed
women flying upwards. Liberal Studies major Karissa
Bullington contributed two
of her dream catchers, the
first entitled "Enchanted"
and the second called "Birds
of a Feather." Visual and
Performing Arts major Laura
Musgrove created the piece
entitled "Resilience," created
from wood, paint, the Bible,
text, Paper Mache and yarn.
"In ["Resilience"] I explored two very vital elements: spirituality and
identity. My intention is to
awaken the viewer's mind
to the contrast I perceive between the negative cultural
communications and the uplifting, encouraging and lifegiving truth spoken by God
through His Word. I wanted
this piece to reflect my personal design aesthetics as
well as communicating the
underlying theme conceptually," Musgrove said.
The ability to show their
work in a gallery has moti-
vated the students to work
even harder on future art
pieces.
"This was my first time
having my artwork shown.
It made me feel pretty happy
that others could see it; I look
forward to making more artworks to show," Wood said.
"It was such an amazing
opportunity to have my artwork showcased. This
was the first time having my work displayed
in an art gallery so it
was very exciting and
I hope to have another chance to do it
again!" Bullington
said.
"I feel very fortunate and I am also
appreciative to
have had this opportunity to create
an art piece that
expresses my
personal views
and my identity
both as an artist and person
and for it to be
showcased in an art
gallery located at Restau-
rant Row which is a popular
area," Musgrove said.
To see these and other
works created by the VSAR
301 students, visit the
CSUSM Art Gallery. The
exhibit is open Fridays and
Saturdays, Dec. 7 through
Jan. 26, from 5 to 8 p.m. It is

steaks with a variety of sides
such as potatoes, baked or
mashed, and steamed veggies.
For those looking for a
little different entree, the
brewery also serves a sausage platter with all types of
dipping sauces, as well as an
endless selection of seafood
for those not looking for the
standard choice of meat.
The brewery's menu also
includes sandwiches, pastas
and salads , which along with
the rest of the menu are delicious andfilling.
What makes the San Marcos brewery different from
other restaurants is their
selection of beers and ales
brewed on site and are available in bottles and jugs to
take home and enjoy. They
have classics like red amber
and IPA, specialties such as
the Pompous Ass beer and
many other styles.

B Y JULIANA STUMPP
40th anniversary of Roe vs. W ade sparks ' Walk for Life' marches
A & E EDITOR
B Y JESSIE GAMBRELL
OPINION EDITOR
Over our much-needed winter break, a new
process for class registration took place. In late
November and early December last semester,
the new class registration process restricted you
to a limit of 13 units until Dec. 17th, at which time
you were able to a dd more classes if need be.
Here are some of the students' opinions on this
new change in our registration system:
On Jan. 22, 1973 the Supreme Court came to a decision on the controversial
case of Roe vs. Wade concerning the touchy subject
of abortion. Abortion was
illegal before this court case
controversy came about, but
in 1971 a woman tried to
get a "legal" abortion claiming that she had been raped.
She later confessed that she
had lied on matter in order
to get an abortion, but did
in fact have the baby before
the court reached a decision.
Another similar case (Doe
vs. Bolton - 1973) reopened
the case,finallybringing the
decision to extend the 14th
Amendment of the Right to
Privacy for the women to
make their own decision to
have an abortion.
Ever since that decision
day on Jan. 22, 1973 the
debate still continues on
whether or not abortion is
a right thing to do. On the
"Getting classes wasn't too difficult since I got
priority registration because of my class standing.
Despite the slight advantage, the unit c ap made
it so that it wasn't possible for me to get all my
classes, thus I had to strategically pick the classes
that I knew would fill up fast," - Pat Tang, biology
major
"I reckon the people who will be affected the
most and worst by the unit c ap are those who are
graduating seniors. Though I a m not one of them,
I c an sympathize. There are some benefits to the
unit c ap. It allows students with lower priority to
get some classes, even if it does hinder other's
chances," - Viv Nguyen, biology major
"The unit c ap sucked. I couldn't wait list enough
classes so now I'm stuck with only 12 units," - Jordan Hays, business major
"To be honest, I already had a late priority reg?
istration date the day before priority registration
ended. So, I was already freaking out about getting all my classes. I was not very fond about the
unit c ap benefitting me personally because I'm
still on the wait list for 2 out of 5 my classes," - Savannah Shick, business major
"Well the unit c ap definitely made me prioritize
and choose classes based on importance instead
of kinda adding a bunch of classes and loading
up. I focused more on important classes and it
helped me set my priorities. It was kind of beneficial," - Austin Hoover, biology physiology major
"It's notrightfor all of us to have to wait for everyone to pick their classes and then pick again
later. It should be done on a first come first serve
basis. What is the point of priority registration if we
are going to be capped off at 13? If I'm paying
for all these classes I want to be able to pick as
many as I want," - Hunter Chanove, communication major
"I guess the only concerns I c ame across was
whether or not the classes I needed/wanted were
full. Also, there was a concern with the timing of
my classes, and whether or not the class I wanted
would interfere with the rest of my schedule for this
semester," - Zach Wilson, business major

In light of the recent tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, (among other
horrific shooting as of late),
gun control has become a hot
topic across the nation. President Obama has proposed
12 congressional actions and
23 executive actions that he
feels will combat the issue
of gun violence and control
in the United States, which
has led to nation-wide debate, Here are some opinions
from your Cougar Chronicle
editors:
"As a college student, I
feel that gun control is not
regulated enough. Though
you need background checks
to purchase a gun, I highly
believe in the regulation of
Mental Status Exams that
should be required in the
purchasing of a gun. I understand that this is a second
Amendment right, to bear
arms, but tell me, why must
we need assault weapons? As
someone who has had family
members die at the bullet of
guns wrongfully purchased,
people need to realize the
importance of life. How
many people have to die for
this country to realize the
danger we put our children
in without regulating gun
control? I have a question

are facts, but the opinion is
yours, is an unborn baby a
baby?
In the month of January
across the nation, religious
groups, pro-family advo. cates, and many other prolife people gather to fight for
the unborn babies by marching in public with their signs
of protest in what they call,
"Walk for Life".
This year it is the 40th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade
so there are anticipated to be
more than usual. According
to the National Catholic Reporter, tens of thousands of
pro-lifers march every year
in 'Walk for Life' events
to help save the millions of
babies being aborted every
year.
The woman who originally
was fighting for abortion, is
now Catholic and is fighting

"My main concern was that I could only sign
up for four classes but there was a chance that I
needed five due to a concern with a class that's
was unsure if I was going to pass. I was also not too
crazy about the classes that were available. I was
looking through my course catalog at all these
classes for my major and hardly any of them were
offered. I had already taken most of the classes
offered so it was difficult to plan a schedule with
the few choices I had left," - Jenica Caruso, communications major.

"Roe" side, people defend it
saying that if a woman becomes pregnant and decides
she does not want that baby,
and then she should have
the right to abort it. On the
"Wade" side, people say that
aborting a baby means killing an innocent human being (since human life begins
at conception) and that the if
you don't want a baby, either
don't have sex or give the
baby up for adoption.
Some defend the notion of
abortion "killing a human
baby" saying that unborn babies are not babies, instead
a "fetus", "lump of cells" or
even "tissue". People who
are pro-life strongly oppose
this claiming that human life
begins at conception, showing the pregnant mothers
an ultrasound image of the
growing baby inside them
proving to the mother that
it is not just tissue. In fact
in the controversial murder
case of Scott Peterson (2005)
proves that an unborn baby is

With the excitement of award season
comes the buzz over who will dominate at the Grammys and who will be
snubbed. This playlist is d edicated to
honoring those nominated for top honors
this a ward season a nd my personal favorites.
"Babel/' Mumford & Sons
Nominated for three Grammy Awards,
Mumford & Sons continues to win my
heart. It's not easy to build up the perfect delivery that Mumford & Sons offers, building up their melody as well as
hard-hitting lyrics, but if that's what you're
looking for in an album, you c an find it in
"Babel."
"Set Fire to the Rain (Live)," Adele
I'm rooting for Adele to win Best Pop Solo
Performance. Having just won a Golden
Globe for Best Original Song, "Skyfall,"
the latest James Bond theme and nominated for an Oscar for Original Song of
the same, I e xpect Adele to impress the
Recording A cademy as much as she did
the Hollywood Foreign Press.
"We Are Young," fun.
As much as it was played on the radio,
I never got tired of listening to anything
from fun. Fun. reminds me of a modern,
more pop version of Queen."We Are
Young" offers a catchy tune to sing to in
the car and if you're like me, you'll b e
listening to it w ay longer than the radio
c an play it out.
"The A Team," Ed Sheeran
There is no one more sweet or adorable
than Ed Sheeran. He pretty much makes
me want to b e on the other e nd of his
g aze as he serenades on. Nominated
for Song of the Year, "The A Team" is a
beautiful ensemble of poetry a nd acoustic guitar that makes m e w eak in the
knees.
"No Church in the Wild," Jay-Z & Kanye
West feat. Frank O cean & The-Dream
Though my rap taste is biased since I prefer the old-school stylings, I a ppreciate
the collaborations with legends (Jay-Z)
that c hanged the modern rap industry for
what it is now. With heart-wrenching lyrics and voices of Frank O cean and TheDream, "No Church in the Wild" is bound
to win Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.

F eb. 5 : "Two Lanes of F reedom"
BY KARLA REYES
Often times, we find ourselves sitting around with
friends wondering what to
do on a Friday night. The
typical conversation goes as
follows: Friend 1- "What do
you wanna do?" Friend 2- "I
don't know. What do you
wanna do?"
This could go on for a
white, eventually leading j p I
a night in watching a mov-t

to you, opt out of watching

as "Snow White" and "The
Little Mermaid" to seasonal
A zombie novel with heart and brains
B Y MORGAN HALL
C o EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Written in 2011 by Isaac
Marion, "Warm Bodies" is a
comedic and romantic love
story about a zombie who
falls head over brains in love
with a mortal girl.
The main character, R,
who can't remember his real
name or how he became a
zfcmbie, has been spending
possibly years in the confines
of an airport, which he and
hundreds of other zombies
call home and have formed
a community. R is different
than his fellow zombies and
has developed a unique personality and strives to figure
out his purpose in life.
Not being able to hold
long thoughts down or speak
words with more than three
syllables, R personally enjoys riding the airport escalators for hours or spending
time with his friend and fel-
low zombie M.
R and M also take occasional trips to the outside
city to hunt and feast on the
brains and bodies of the "Living/' which R is not particularly found of. On one trip, R
and his fellow zombiesfinda
small group of the living and
begin feasting. As he starts
consuming one man's brains,
he sees these vivid memories
from that man's life and feels
this deep connection to that
man's girlfriend, Julie, which
he falls in love with.
During their time together
R, slowly begins to transform himself and starts to
break away from the typical zombie tendencies and
changes those around him to
become more human like.
"Warm Bodies" is an easy
read, with a great love story
from start to finish -with a
killer ending. It's a novel
that will put life and death
in perspective and will al-
low the reader to see that
just because you are a zombie doesn't mean you have
to act like one. Be warned,
this book is not for the faint
of heart due to its graphic nature and harsh language.
"Warm Bodies" will also
be a major motion picture set
to hit theaters Feb. 1, starring
Nicholas Hoult and Teresa
Palmer.
