Moore money for 'hell-raiser' students
BY CHEZARE MILO
Pride Staff Writer
Michael Moore is coming back
to CSUSM; that is at least his
money is coming.
The filmmaker and political
activist announced on Tuesday
details of the 'hell-raiser' schol-
arship he promised CSUSM students in his October 12, 2004
speech at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. According to a press
release from Moore, the "Michael
Moore Freedom of Speech Scholarship at Cal State San Marcos"
will award $2500 scholarships to,
"the two individual students who
have done the most to fight for
issues of student rights by standing up to the administration of
Cal State San Marcos."
"I hope this scholarship will
encourage students to show courage and stand up for what they
believe in," said Moore, "When
students (take on the administra-
tion) for the right reasons, they
should be rewarded."
To be eligible for one of the
scholarships a student must be
enrolled in a minimum of at least
six units each semester during the
2004-2005 academic year or for
the fall 2005 semester and have a
minimum grade point average of
2.5. The application process consists of filling out an application
form including three personal
references at: http://www.michaelmoore.com/takeaction/sanmarcos_form.php and submitting a two page letter to Michael

Undergrads and others came
out to give blood to the San Diego
Blood Bank on April 19 and 20.
The big white bloodmobile was
parked in front of the Dome from
11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on both days.
The pressure to donate blood
was intimidating for some, but
others thought of it as a way to
give back.
The blood donation process
takes about 45 minutes to an
hour. The majority of the time
is spent answering questions to
determine donor eligibility. If
you have a blood communicable
disease like HIV/AIDS the blood
bank does not want your blood.
Once you are done with all the
paperwork, you are given a preliminary test to see if you have
enough iron in your blood. Once
you pass the test you are ready to
donate. It is common to be nervous prior to giving blood.
"The only fear I have is the
needle," saidfirsttime donor Arianna Merrill.
This is a fear that I also shared.
What one discovers however is
that after the first poke of the
needle the fear subsides. After

Tuition is going up again and not all students are taking it lying down.
Students from county community colleges
and universities gathered to march on Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's downtown San
Diego office last week. The April 20 student
walkout in San Diego was just one of several
scheduled on this day throughout the state.
The primary goal was to protest the eight percent undergraduate tuition increase planned
for the 2005/2006 school year.

to the podium to address student
fees, financial aid, enrollment,
debt and outreach programs.
"We are mourning the (death of
the) California dream for affordable higher education," said Jason
Spencer, CSSA chair of legislative affairs. Spencer said that students are getting more and paying
less because of the budget cuts
students are having to rely more
heavily on financial aid and side
jobs to complete their education.
"We can't balance our state
budget on the backs of students,"
said Bustamante. "Raising tuition
fees is shortsighted and lacks
vision. We need an educated
workforce for our economy."
Applause erupted from the
crowd when Bustamante thanked
the students for their participation.
"Thank you for coming. Thank
you for bringing the faces of students, not statistics, before the
Legislature. The next generation
of students will benefit because
of your advocacy," said Bustamante.
Hancock urged students to get
involved on their campuses and
do everything they can to express
their voice. "Student fees have
risen faster than inflation. We
have to turn this around. We
(legislators) are fighting on the
inside, but we also need you to
fight on the outside."
After the protest, students disbursed to lobby legislators, do
some shopping, or hang out on the
capitol lawn before attending the
Assembly Budget Subcommittee

A plus for future teachers
BY CHRISTINE BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM teacher candidates
rock.
That was the consensus resonating throughout the Teacher
Career Fair—the exemplary
qualifications of CSUSM teacher
candidates.
"Our teacher candidates are
highly qualified and sought after",
said Sandy Punch, the director of
the career fair. There were 41
school districts from all over the
state in attendance as well as a
few from Colorado, Arizona, and
Nevada.
CSUSM has hosted this event
for 13 years for alumni and newly
credentialed teacher candidates.
The purpose is to give our candidates a chance to network and
meet with representatives from
various districts as well as hand
delivering their resumes.
The fair is a great opportunity
for our future teachers tofindout
about local school districts as
well as those in other parts of the
country.
Ana Stover, who is the director of Human Resources for the
Chula Vista Unified School District, spoke with candidates about
the new schools opening up in
the area and they are currently
accepting applications for every
position. "We are especially
looking for multiple subject
credentialed candidates with a
BCLAD, Special Education, and
Speech certificate," said Stover.
Many of the representatives
expressed their need for certified
BCLAD (Bilingual Certificate of
Advanced Study in Biliteracy:
Spanish) applicants. In many districts there are always positions
available for math and science
teachers in the middle school
level as well as Special Education
teachers in every grade level.
Poway, Temecula, San Marcos
and Murrieta school districts had
the longest lines of candidates
vying for a chance to speak with
the representatives and hand in
their resumes.
Chris Meglio, who will graduate with his single subject credential in math, was waiting in
line to speak with a Murrieta representative. "I'm trying to find
the best fit for my needs," said
Meglio when asked what type of
district he is looking to work for.
Regardless of the amount of
teacher candidates graduating
each year in California (about
400-500 for CSUSM alone), our
teacher education program has a
reputation for training high-quality teachers.
Cheryl Cauldren, who will be
graduating this semester with
her multiple subject credential,
said she was, "wowed by the
instructors and the least effective
(instructor) was really great."
Chris Meglio said he is proud
to be a CSUSM grad and has
already received job offers for the
upcoming school year.
John Mendoza from Palm
Springs Unified School District
has been attending the fair for the
past eight years and comments on
the high caliber of teacher candidates from CSUSM. "We've
hired two right out of the fair,"
said Mendoza. When asked about
what advice he would give to prospective teachers, Mendoza said,
"Don't limit yourself, locals may
need to look outside of San Diego
County. Palm Springs is a growing district and we are always
hiring qualified teachers."

Moore. The letter needs
to include a biographical description, why you
attend CSUSM, why you
should receive the scholarship and, "What you have
done to take a stand and
make your school community a better place." Students meeting the requirements are encouraged to
nominate themselves; in
addition students and faculty can nominate students
they feel deserve the scholarships.
All applications for the
scholarships must be completed by May 11, and the
winners will be announced
in early June.
"At a time when the
media and politicians have
shown a lack of courage,
we should look to America's universities and America's young people to show
us how patriotic dissent is,"
said Moore.
Students and faculty had
various responses when
asked who deserved the
two $2500 scholarships.
"I don't know of one this
year. I actually have been
thinking about it," said
Dean of the College of Arts
and Sciences Vicki Golich.
Golich said she is unsure
if the scholarships will be

Student Eric Kiefer had
someone in mind to receive
the scholarship. "I would
say Claude Sayf because
he was a hell-raiser, but
he's graduating this semester and Jason Williams
because he's put up with a
lot of hell," said Kiefer.
Student Daniel Lowe was
at a loss. "I have no idea. I
haven't really been paying
attention to it," said Lowe.
Student Melissa Rodriguez had another student
in mind. "Jason Williams.
The whole issue regarding
his arrest was really controversial and it was clear
that the university didn't
want to talk about it. He
suffered because he had to
deal with it and he was able
to organize people around
campus in a way nobody
else has," said Rodriguez.
"I don't know," said student Claude Sayf, "I can tell
you who doesn't deserve it,
the College Republicans."
Student Financial Services was unavailable for

lege (SDCC) to participate in the
walkout. Cal State San Marcos
student Tasha Iglesias organized
the San Diego portion of the protest: another contingent of Cal
State San Marcos students went
north to Sacramento to participate in the walkout activities at
the state capitol.
Iglesias did not express disappoint with the seemingly small
number of Cal State San Marcos
students on the San Diego bus.
"It's not about how many
people you have, it's about how
many people you can educate,"
said Iglesias.
The bus dropped off the Cal
State San Marcos representatives just south of SDCC near the
grassy area on the corner of Park
Boulevard and B Street where
the marchers and protestors congregated. Approximately 500
students gathered there, holding
signs and shouting at the traffic
on Park Boulevard. Reporters
and photographers from every
major broadcast and print media
source in the area were also on
hand, adding to the hectic atmosphere.
"Fight, fight, fight! Education
is a right!" among others, were
the chants used by the crowd both
at SDCC and on the march.
Anna Matysiak, a sophomore
business major, took the bus
down to SDCC for both the protest and as part of a class project.
"We wanted to see how the

Matysiak. The project, part of a

and said the police were there to
protect from traffic; however, the
crowd did not respond favorably
to the efforts of the police. Shay
then ordered the police line to
stand-down. The protestors were
escorted west on B then south
on Front Street. From there, the
march continued east on Broadway much to the shock of noontime downtown patrons.
Many of the chants fell on deaf
ears, however, as the protestors
changed their chants from focusing on education to challenging
the Bush administration and the
war in Iraq. A chant of "Keep
the soldiers out of schools" was
answered by an old man watching the march.
"Then who's going to fight
the war?" said the old man as
he stood outside a wig shop on
the corner of Ninth Avenue and
Broadway.
Although no CSUSM students
participated in the impromptu
detour, Iglesias was discouraged
that the group's negative interaction with the police would
reflect poorly on the walkout and
the message of the day, which
was protecting the diminishing
budget of the public higher education system.
"It divides the group," said
Iglesias, "If we are supposed to
be united, and then we divide,
what message does that send?"

your belt, it's time to build a wardrobe to go with
it. Here's some practical advice to building your
'office' wardrobe.
What to purchase:
Invest in a few bottoms and tops that you can
mix and match. The colors you choose should be
solids: black pants, brown skirt, blue pants, etc.
Now with your solids on the bottom, you can get a
little funkier with the tops. Go for tops that match
all of your bottoms.
The key word when shopping is "modesty."
Black pants are essential but be sure they are
appropriate. No low-riders or Capri length. If you
have to get a bikini wax to wear the pants - they
are too low. Also, v-neck tops are great—but not
if you're cleavage is showing. I don't recommend
sleeveless tops. A good compromise is a twinset.
Skirt lengths are important. Sit down when you
try on a skirt. When sitting, if it rides up to your
panty line it's too short.
A couple pairs of nylons (pantyhose) should be
purchased as well. Bare legs are very common
in California—but not if you land a job in a more
formal environment like the East Coast.
A jacketisamustas well. Try for basic black—
it will go with everything. Another good purchase—but not an alternative to a jacket—is a
cardigan. A cardigan is a wonderful piece that
can be worn instead of a jacket in the hot summer
months.
Buy a good pair of closed-toed shoes. Stick to
basic heels or flats. Stay away from the trendy
strappy platform shoes—they won't go with your
new clothes and your feet will be killing you after
nine hours. Don't penny-pinch when it comes to
shoes. Remember that a great pair of shoes will
Last you a long time.
Where to purchase:
Skip the department stores and go straight to
the specialty shops in the mall. You need help
picking out your clothes and that means a salesperson. Smaller shops like Ann Taylor, Casual
Corner and Talbot's offer the best combination of
selection and customer service. This is because
these shops, as well as the salespeople, specialize
in the clothes you are looking for.
Specialty shops are best for shoes, too. You can
buy Clarks, Easy-Spirit and NineWest shoes at
department stores, but you will get a much better
selection at their smaller brand stores located in
the mall.
Only buy a few items at a time. Every company
is going to have their do's and don'ts of what is
appropriate to wear and what isn't. For example,
a cutting-edge dotcom company might encourage
casual dress. A clothes designer might encour-

casualcorner.com
age a modern dress. An investment bank might
encourage formal suit attire. There is no need to
buy a brand new wardrobe. Once you've settled
into your new job you will get a sense of what
everyone else around you is wearing and then purchase new pieces for your wardrobe based on the
preferences of the company.
How do I pay for all this? Here's how I did it:
Myfirstoffice job that required formal dress was
at Anthony Robbins Co. in La Jolla. I had spent
a considerable amount of money on a few items
that I rotated on a weekly basis. After a couple of
months I was very bored with my wardrobe and
had no funds to do anything about it. One of my
co-workers, Betty, was always wearing the most
trendy office attire and since we were at the same
pay scale I decided to ask her how she could buy
new clothes so often, Betty told me she works
part-time at Casual Corner. She only works a few
hours a week and the little extra income combined
with the hefty employee discount allowed her to
add two to three new outfits to her wardrobe per
month.
Following Betty's lead, I immediately got a job
at Petite Sophisticate. I worked about 10 hours per
week and received a 40 percent discount. After
working only one month I had a brand new wardrobe.

For graduating students and
those looking for careers in
the exciting world of corporate
America, there is a lot to prepare
for.
After the resume, the first
in-person impression an applicant gives to their prospective
employer is key to nailing the
interview: you have to get it right
the first time. The jeans and tshirts of college life will not cut
it any more.
Marketing yourself is not
always as easy as it seems.
Appearance is essential and
demands attention to detail.
Matching socks, ties and shirts
with your suit or jacket and pants
will be harder than you think.
Thefirstrequirement is to have
at least two suits in your collection. One grey and one blue—
dark blue, not powder blue. Some
places will also recommend black
suits, but they make you look like
an IRS agent. You can buy suits
off the rack, but in order to look
professional and not like a teenager working a sales job in the
mall, having your suits fitted is
the best way to go. Look for wool
suits to maintain a classic look
and stay away from hip colors.
The suit is not the time to be
thrifty. Department stores or specialty suit stores, like The Men's
Wearhouse, are great for a proper
fit and good quality.
"Your first interview suit
depends in large part on the type
ofjob f oj which you're interviewing, but charcoal gray and navy
blue are always appropriate,"
states the Men's Wearhouse website. The website has great guide-
lines on building a wardrobe and
dressing for success. The website
even shows you how to tie a tie.
Until you are making good
money, never spend too much
money on ties since the patterns
go out of style every six months.
Buy ties at places like Kohl's or
on the sale rack at department
stores.
In addition to suits, pants, like
khakis, and jackets are a good
choice to have. You can mix and
match the outfits.
Shirts are an important part
of the outfit for men. Until you
become confident wearing suits,
solid colored shirts are the best
way to go. Key colors would be
white, blue and grey to match the
suits. Try not to clash patterns on
your tie and shirt. Shirts are easy
to find at places like Ross Dress
for Less or Marshalls. Be sure
to get measured for your shirts
before you buy them. Proper
shirt fit depends on your neck
and arm length measurements,
and the cut of the shirt, so look
for professional help in the beginning until you know your proper
size and cut.
Shoes and socks are easy for
men to find as well. Discount
retailers like Ross Dress for Less
and Marshalls are also great for
shoes.
Outfit aside, personal appearance i s important for a job i nt^g
view; Men should have a clean';
haircut and neatly trirtuned or

kept to a minimum, oneringand a

OPINION
THE PRIDE
Progressive views are not on the
agenda of Benedict XVI
BY FELIPE ZANARTU
For The Pride
The selection of the new Pope
Joseph Ratzinger (a.k.a. Benedict
XVI) of Germany is a huge victory for conservatives and those
of the Opus Dei.
For years many American
Catholics have been waiting for
the pope to die hoping we would
find a new Pope with more liberal views. This pope however is
not going to be leaning to the left
or moving the church forward
on liberal issues. He has been
quoted as saying that homosexuality is intrinsically e vil So the
chances of reform in the church
doctrine over the next decade
concerning sexuality are doubtful. Along with sexuality comes
the issue of women in the priest
hood. With the record that Benedict has, it looks like he plans to
keep the Catholic Church a patriarchal institution.
In talking with religious people
on campus, I was told that Bible
passages are often interpreted to
say that males are the rulers of the
church. In this country we have
sectors of Catholicism and other
religions that believe men are the
head of the church. Most sectors
of Islam would be a prime exampie of a religion that doesn't seem
to practice tolerance. Others
believe that progress must start
from the church.
Former

is one other conflict that has been
raised: Benedict XVI's past. This
would be the Nazi question. Was
he a Nazi? Looking at his age it
is entirely possible. After some
research I found that membership was compulsory in the Hitler
Youth.
Many sources say that the
Hitler Youth was possible to
resist, and many did according to
those sources.
"(Benedict XVI) found refuge
in the Catholic Church" wrote
author Beth Rowen.
I would not conclude that our
pope is a Nazi, but at a young age
he probably went along with the
movement out of ignorance like
many German's did in Hitler's
nationalistic state.
On television this week, Bill
Maher made up a clever new rule,
"No picking a German pope the
day before Hitler's Birthday. You
have just given every conspiracy
theorist in the world a hard-on."
Only time will tell whether this
pope will create change or if it
will be more of the same. As an
agnostic, I really could care less
who the pope is. But given the
huge fundamentalist/evangelical
movement in current U.S. politics
and culture, and the blurring of
the implied separation of church
and State, the pope becomes a
figure that no one in the world
can ignore.
ing of other faiths. So right now
we are raising the issues, such as
women in the priesthood."
Catholic staffworker Ann
Gnuse concurred with a progressive church, "I don't think the
church should remain a patriarchal institution. If women want
to be part of the priesthood, more
power to them."
Many religious people are
questioning whether Benedict
XVI can do a better job than Pope
John Paul II
"I think that John Paul II really
raised the bar," said Catholic student Arcay Santos, "so he's going
to be a hard act to follow."
Many Christians and Catholics
hope and expect him to be a good
pope. The church however seems
to be at a crossroads.
"They need to figure out where
they stand," said Ruth Bran, a
volunteer collegiate minister,
"they must address the issues of
AIDS in Africa, zero population
in china, and the overall worldwide culture."
With the issue of culture there

Ms. Brett, that by announcing
your movie titles, w e're making
sure you get the correct movie.
There ARE people out there who

the whole Starbucks deal, how
are they to know you're the only
one at the counter when they're
behind the counter blending your
nonfat latte? They're doing the
same as Blockbuster; double
checking for all the customers.
Maybe the person who took the
order heard something different
and they make SURE it's correct
for you! It's obvious you don't
work in the customer service
industry so before you think
about complaining about people
like me doing my j ob correctly,
think of what we have to go
through dealing with grumpy
customers like you. If great
customer service is what really
bugs you, then start shopping at
Wal-Mart from now on. You'll fit

2005-2006 Proposed Budget.
First, pursuant to the Higher
Education Compact that was
agreed upon by the California
State University Trustees and
Governor Schwarzenegger, the
proposed budget for the 20052006 academic year includes
a 3 percent general funding
increase (yes you read correctly,
an increase). This means that
the CSU system as a whole will
see a funding increase of $71.7
million for basic budget support.
Second, pursuant to the same
Higher Education Compact the
proposed budget also includes
additional funding of $50.8
million to be spent towards
enrollment growth. This means
that the CSU system will
be allocated more money to
accommodate a 2.5 percent
increase in enrollment. This will
affect CSU San Marcos students
because it will accommodate a
slight increase in enrollment for
the Fall 2005 and Spring 2006
terms.
Third, while student fees were
increased 8% for the 2005-2006
school year, students can find
solace knowing that a substantial
portion of this fee increase will
be dedicated to financial aid
for needy students. So while
• the advertisement in the April
13 th edition of the Pride (paid
for by ASI) dons the caption,
"Need help paying for school?
Too Bad," the fact is, contrary to
this misleading advertisement,
more money will be dedicated to
providing financial aid.
So with all of this said, I would
certainly hope in the future
that Associated Students Inc.
does a better j ob informing its
constituency(you the students) of
both sides of the story.

stop thinking 'bout the best

worth a hypothetical 25 cents.

"State of Fear"
BY PHOENIX LINDGREN

I don't normally read books

last three books I read were
"Fabric of the Cosmos,"
"Life of Pi," and "Will in
the World"—but I enjoyed
"Jurassic Park" way back
when, and when I heard

in this book I couldn't resist.
I don't remember the last
time I finished 600 pages
in a day, but the pace of the
plot kept me turning the
pages (in spite of reading all
the footnotes), and I just had
to finish. Admittedly Crichton's characters are a little
thin, but this is a plot-driven
thriller, rich in detail, suspense, twists, turns, and 'can
they really do that?' action.
As a student of biology/ecology I was especially interested to read Crichton's interpretation of the data regarding global warming, and he

"Angels & Demons"
BY ANDREA MORALES
Pride Staff Writer
Robert Langdon, a worldrenowned Harvard symbologist and expert
on
ancient
societies, is
awakened in
the middle of
the night by a
phone call emanating from a Swiss research facility, summoning him for an immediate departure to Geneva. And
so begins the story of "Angels and
Demons," another best seller by Dan
Brown, author of the "The Da Vinci
Code."
Langdon is asked to analyze a
mysterious symbol that has been
seared into the chest of a murdered
physicist. Once Langdon arrives,
he discovers evidence of the inconceivable: the symbol belongs to an
ancient secret brotherhood known
as the Illuminati, the most powerful
known underground organization.
Langdon is asked to help solve the
murder. The Illuminati brotherhood
is feared to have resurfaced to carry
out a legendary vendetta against
their most hated enemy — the Catholic Church.
Langdon agrees to help, and soon
discovers that the murder victim has
a daughter, Vittoria Vetra. Langdon jets off to Rome to meet up
with Vetra. Vetra, a beautiful and
mysterious Italian scientist, meets
Langdon in Vatican City where
their worst fears are confirmed. On
the eve of the Vatican's holy conclave, a messenger of the Illuminati announces they have hidden
an unstoppable time bomb at the
heart of Vatican City. Both Langdon and Vetra embark on a frenzied
hunt through sealed crypts, burial
chambers, closed cathedrals, and
the most secret vault. Langdon and
Vetra follow a 400-year-old trail
of ancient symbols that winds all
through Rome. The trail will take
them to the ancient meeting place of
the Illuminati brotherhood.
"Angels and Demons" mixes art
history with mythology. Brown
expertly guides the reader through
compelling twists and turns using
theories of signs and symbols coupled with medieval history. If you
are looking for a book that will
entertain you with every page, Dan
Brown's "Angels and Demons" is an
excellent choice.

THÈ PRIDE
T hree Stooges caught in drug orgy with
cast of Dragon Ball:" Kung Fu Hustle"
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
For The Pride
Such an overload of guilty
pleasure and juvenile genius is
going to send you running one
way or the other, and it should.
And I should be able to avoid a
copout. But my evaluation is still
stuck on whether to use thumbs
or digits.
I watched from the edge of my
seat. I let my mouth hang open. I
laughed out loud. But I'm fairly
certain it was one of the
s tupidest movies
I've seen in my life.
Now to be fair, I had all those
same reactions to the first "Spiderman" and the second "Star
Wars" prequel, and they were
trying to be deep. "Kung Fu
Hustle," however, entangles the
line between laughing at and
laughing with while giving you
the feeling its creator might well
be doing the same.
Stephen Chow wrote, directed,
and starred in this... this movie,
and as its tragic, complex, and
eventually god-like hero, it's hard
to tell which is his strongest field.
Every aspect seems a tribute to
himself, despite the fact that the
will to make such a thing might
be his most original asset. If
there was one less iota of effort
put into this film—if it were not
so completely itself—I'd be able
to work on a much more scathing review.
Still, there's no denying the inconsistency
between the Axe Gang's
initial (stylishly) stolen
style and their eventual descent into
bland buffoonish
thugs. The use of
Images courtesy of Sony Pictures Classics
CGI—clearly the point that will
divide genre fans—provides
more laughs than gasps, and is
used so heavily in thefightscenes
that breaks from it make brilliant
martial artists look like amateurs
in a second rate music video. As
a fan of both ridiculous slapstick
and gory violence, I can say that
reminder of what a totalitarian
government can do to art. When
you don't know what you think,
and you don't know what they
want, I guess it's good to know
we're getting what we deserve.

there's a place for both of them,
yet kitschy childhood romance
and butt gags just don't mix with
shooting women in the back and

T H E P RIDE
kHon
BY THOMAS F. GORMAN III
Pride Staff Writer
Located on California's Historic
Pacific Coast Highway, Hon Sushi
presents an opportunity for CSUSM
diners looking to indulge in an aesthetically pleasing culinary delight.
Dinner at the sushi bar begins with
a refreshing bowl of baby cucumbers
topped with a light dressing made of
vinegar, sugar and salt, and is accompanied by a bowl of lightly salted
sugar peas.
After a few beers and couple shots
of hot Sake, the entrées served by
Hon Sushi's head c hefs understudy,
Jun Jung, were eatables delectable
enough to turn the mostfinickyeater
to glutton.
The first entrées served consisted
of regular cuts of salmon and albacore sushi. The salmon is elegantly
garnished with a mini palm tree made
of carrot and topped with cucumber fronds. Albacore is served with
lemon wedges and wrapped with
ginger leaf giving the dish a delightful appeal. The cuts of fish are fresh
and full of flavor, but are not overwhelmingly fishy for those scared of
raw cuts offish. The two-piece regular sushi cuts run between $3 and $6
dollars, which is reasonable considering the flavor and artistry the dishes
provided.
Remaining entrées sampled consisted of a colorful assortment of
rolls beginning with the cucumber
paradise roll. The cucumber paradise roll is a delicious roll with mild
flavor consisting of an inside made
of tuna, yellow tail, salmon, crab
meat and asparagus. The roll is held
together by a thin layer of cucumber
wrapping. The cucumber paradise
roll is paradise for the taste buds, but
is difficult to fit in your mouth due
to the size of the roll. The cucumber
paradise roll is a six-piece roll that
can serve as a meal on its own and
costs $6.95.
The next roll sampled is a specialty roll known as the volcano
roll. This was my first time
>J
-li
-I
sampling a volcano roll and I was
pleased. The volcano roll has a crab
meat, cucumber, and avocado inside,
topped with baked scallops. The
baked scallops are then garnished
with black fish eggs and shavings
of green onion. The baked scallops melted and the black fish eggs
popped every time they hit my mouth
providing an exciting bating experience. Presentation of the volcano roll
was nothing short of spectacular as
the roll is served in a decorative boat
made of carrot and cucumber. The
volcano roll is an eight-piece roll
costing $11.95 and is worth every
penny. The volcano roll is a definite
must for the first time visitor.
Then the Hon roll #2 was sampled.
The Hon roll #2 consists of an inside
containing tuna, salmon, shrimp tempura, crab meat, onion, green onion,
and masago. The roll is then held
together by an outside layer made of
soybean paper. The presentation of
the Hon #2 roll is not the most colorful, but is a clean looking roll with
flavor to back it up. The combination
of shrimp tempura and crab meat
is a gratifying combination for any
palate. The Hon roll #2 is

Low turnout

elections
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
Although many students hold opinions on
how campus leadership could be improved, the
reflection of those opinions did not appear in
this year's voter turn out. Only 838 students
voted for CSUSM's 2007-08 student representation. Last year, 578 students voted for ASI
representatives. The process of electing ASI
representatives has not changed in the past
three years. Each year, voting is conducted
online, one week before spring break. This
year, an email was sent to each student on Wed.
March 22, reminding students to vote online.
Six out of twelve candidates ran unopposed.
Former Student Representative at Large Conrad
Ottey returned for a second term, as Vice President of Marketing. At 584 votes, Ottey collected the highest number of votes compared
to the rest of the candidates. Vice President

Under the stormy clouds, the wedding
party for LGBTA marched on, celebrating the first day of spring with a decadent wedding ceremony. Jay Franklin,
president of CSUSM's LGBTA, headed
the theatrical event on Wed. March 21
that included guest speaker Rodger
D'Andreas-Wahl. Franklin explained,
"The equinox, thefirstday of spring, this
is a time of equal day and equal night.
Full equality is all we seek."
The procession included flower girl
Sheena L. Medina, and two couples Josh
Lovelace and Kevin Chatham, along with
Diana Wong and Rhonalyn Santos. The
wedding party was fancifully dressed in
black tuxedos, and elegant white gowns
with contrasting sneakers. The mock
priest residing over the festive nuptials
was Richard Perez. Onlookers cheered as
the two couples approached the priest, and
switched positions to represent a gay and
a lesbian couple in a wedding ceremony.
Perez, the representative priest, offered a
serene prelude, stating, "Hooray, we are
here to celebrate, to honor, to laugh, to
dance, to be glad because the inevitable

On Tuesday, March 20, two-thirds of San Marcos customers lost power because
a vandal at San Diego Gas and Electricity Co. wrapped an extension cord around
an overhead electrical wire. The power outage lasted almost two hours at CSUSM
and spurred confusion among most students and faculty. Many students left
school for the day, not knowing if or when the power would return. Above, junior

In an effort to prove the relevance of the circumstances and casualties of the war in Iraq, The Progressive
Activist's Network held a demonstration near University Hall on Thursday, March 22. Members of the
Progressive Activist's Network and several supporters lay scattered on the concrete, underneath
white sheets as onlookers passed by. March 19,2007 marked the four year anniversary of the war in
Iraq. Above (left), Sgt. Clayton Anderson of the Marine Corps observes the demonstration

to settle the remaining issues and
avoid using the impacts of any
potential job actions on students. It
is counterproductive to talk about
strike dates and locations while
the process is still continuing."
On Wed. March 25, President
Karen Haynes and ASI President
Roy Lee held a student forum in
the President's Boardroom. Some
students voiced their concern to
Dr. Haynes and Lee regarding the
potential CFA strike.
When Dr. Haynes learned that
94% of the CFA voted to go on
strike, she said she was "not surprised, understanding that the faculty need to continue to advocate
for what they believe is a fair compensation package."
One student told Dr. Haynes
that she could make a difference
by looking at the CFA and CSU
situation in a different way in
order to find a solution to the problem. The student said, "If you look
at it differently, as a student body
president, do you realize that you
can make a name for yourself that
would be national? It's an opportunity to redefine the problem in a
different way." Dr. Haynes replied
by stating that there are significant constraints to the unionized
environment and that the ability to
provide compensation is removed.
"There are eleven unions in the
system," Dr. Haynes said. "[In] all
of them, professional, technical,
and service employees, in all of
them, there are clear constraints.
Administrators in a system like
this are simply outside of the conversation. My excitement is going
to be directed toward making this
campus the best we can and not
trying to change a 420,000 student and 23 campus union environment that is funded by the
legislature." Dr. Haynes also mentioned how the system can change
in order to avoid the current situation. Dr. Hayens said, "It starts
with electing officials who are pro
education."
Patricia Worden, Vice President
of Student Affairs, told concerned
students that she would be emailing all students should CSUSM's
faculty go on strike. CSUSM's
homepage will continue to offer
updated information on the condition of the CFA and CSU.
princess, and we want the Disney
marriage package. But one of my
concerns is that marriage reinforces
some very traditional gender and
sexuality binaries that are not necessarily inclusive of all LGBTA
people."
Franklin also invited the audience to attend another event,
"The Constitution and the Judge."
Franklin handed out copies of
pocket Constitutions and packs of
red, white and blue seed packets,
and said, "The seeds that are provided are so that you can sew the
seeds of democracy in your own
backyards." The event on the following day hosted Superior Court
Judge David RubinfromSan Diego
County. Rubin discussed marriage
in relation to the constitution and
cases relating to marriage.

to quickly and easily create bibliMyBib allows users to create
ographies. The website claims to bibliographies in MLA format
which are alphabetized and formatted for printing.
MyBibPro allows users to
create bibliographies in MLA and
APA formats. The online product
also offers easier citation of books
through a database consisting of
18 million entries, an option to
upload saved database citations,
access parenthetical citation and
footnote support, and store multiple lists in a personal account
which can be accessed from any
location as well as a customer support response within 36 hours of
an original inquiry.
MyBib requires users to manually enter each piece of information of data to generate a bibliography in MLA format such as
author and year of publication.
The task can be tedious. However,
the formatting done by the website ensures a perfect bibliography
in MLA format.
MyBibPro requires users to
merely enter the title while the
website generates the remaining
pieces of information needed to
complete a bibliography in MLA
and or APA format.
Another benefit of utilizing
EasyBib is saving time and energy.
The website claims to reduce the
time required for creating bibliographies by as little as half, and
as much as two-thirds. During a
test run on Stephan R. Covey's
"The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," a conclusion could
be made on the ease and swiftness
provided by MyBib. The required
information was manually entered
and with the click of a button a
proper bibliography was reproduced in MLA format and ready
for direct printing.
EasyBib seems to be the perfect
solution for a complete and correct bibliography. Managing multiple sources, collecting relevant
and correct information, and producing an accurate bibliography
are a must with all of the required
papers at CSUSM. Although
CSUSM library's homepage offers
adequate and efficient information on creating and citing sources
in MLA, APA, and other formats
all Cougars should be aware of,
EasyBib can also be easily utilized to ensure truthful and proper
bibliographies.

is nothing like a wander around its ancient, the church of San Luigi dei Francesi: "The
Calling of St Matthew," "The Inspiration of
Saint Matthew" and "The Martyrdom of
Saint Matthew." I also went on the Bernini
trail; his wonderful sculptures are everywhere. In fact, it seems that around every
corner there lurks another masterpiece,
which brings me to another great aspect of
the city: signposts. Little black signposts are
all over the place pointing this way and that:
"Trevi fountain this way ...the Pantheon
this way..." you are absolutely cocooned
in historical art. A visit to the Basilica di
San Pietro in Vaticano (St. Peters Basilica),
along with the Sistine Chapel in Vatican
City is something that everyone should
experience; it is a massive expanse of
unimaginable beauty, and if you pop down
on a Sunday, you will have a backdrop of
beautiful, angelic hymns to accompany the
sumptuous feast for the eyes.
Rome is a grand place to visit any time
of the year. I am more inclined to suggest the cooler months, just because it is
less congested, however, the weather may
not be the best. During a recent December trip there I got rained on rather badly.
And, as luck had it, I was on a long walk
to find the "Bocca Delia Verità," a large,
round sculpture of a face with the famous
"Mouth of Truth." The sculpture's name
seems appropriate because it was widely
believed at the time of its creation that if
a liar was to put their hand in its mouth it
would be bitten off! Apparently I am not
a liar as my hand came out unscathed so
it all turned out well, despite the pouring
rain. Indeed, it was quite a f un evening
after all, as at thé Boca Delia I met up
with a fellow traveler and we had a great
time exchanging travel stories as we
walked through the pouring rain beside
the ancient Circus Maximus. I have many
fond memories of Rome; it really is an
enchanting place and I fully believe that,
regardless of whether you visit to embrace
history and art, or simply relax and sip
cappuccinos, you are bound to fall in love
with the Eternal City.

Jock Talk With Josh
New opportunities this Spring
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff WriterI love my
family, but I
considered disowning them
after what happened to me this
Spring Break.
The Friday
that school let
put I went to Lo$ Angeles for
the weekend. I came back to
San Diego on Sunday. I then left
on Tuesday to Tucson, Arizona
with my grandparertts to visit"
family and go to baseball spring
training.
11:30AM on Tuesday March
27,2007: We stop in Yuma, Arizona to gas up and get something
to eat. My phone rings while I 'm
eating. I don't pick up the phone
because I don't recognize the
number, and it's too loud in the
restaurant to hear. The mystery
number leaves a message. /
Noon: I jump into the driver's
seat of my car, grab my phone
and listen to the message. My
grandparents begin to chatter.
"Hi my name i s -—-- and I am
with the San Diego Padres Marketing department," the message starts.
"Oh shit, please be quiet," I
yell t omy grandparents.
The me§sage goes on. "I would
like to s et up an interviewrwith
you on Wednesday or Thursday.
Please call me back as soon as
you can."^
3
Ì2:Ì5PM: "Hi — , this is
Joshua Sandoval returning your
call. I am actually in Yuma, Arizona on my way to spring training in Tucson, Arizona so I can't
make a Wednesday or Thursday
meeting. Please give me a call
back so we can set u p something, because I would iove to
meet with you."
12:30PM: Back, on the road
to Tucson. There are 40 MPH
winds bursting across the freeway. We have been in the middle
of dust storms for most of the
t rip thus far. The phone rings.
It's the call I've been waiting for
all my life. I need to devote my
full attention towards this call,
so I pull over to the side of the
road and answer,
s "Hello?" "Hi, this is — with the San
Diego Padres. We want you
to come in on Wednesday or
Thursday for an interview."
"I'm- actually on my way to
spring training as we speak. I'm
coming back to San Diego on
Friday?'
"O.K. well how about Monday
at 1PM at the Main offices at 100
Park Boulevard?"
"Monday at 1PM sounds
great," I gratefully agree to.
I love my grandparents and I
love my family in Tucson, but if
the Padres said the interview had
to be on Wednesday or Thursday
then I would have turned the car
right around.
3:16AM on Wednesday March
28, 2007: I can't sleep. Every
time I pass out, I dream about
working for the Padres and suddenly wake up. This is all that
has been on my mind since I got
the call.
10:08AM: I get a text message
from Karin telling me she has a
court side ticket to the Clippers
game for me. She knows I'm out
of town, but decides to rub it in
anyway.
10:09AM: "I love my family...
I love my family," I have to keep
repeating this to myself so that I
don't jump in my car and drive
to Los Angeles. Luckily it's only
the Clippers. If it was a court
side ticket to a Lakers game
I would ditch my family and
would ask Jack Nicholson to be
my new Uncle.
I haven't been out of San
Diego for 24 hours and I've
already delayed My opportunity
of becoming a Padre and sitting
r
f
courtside at a Clippers game.
11:00AM: My Uncle Ray buys
me a new suit.
1:00PM: My uncie, grandpa
and I go to the Diamondbacks
and White Sox game. D-baeks
win 8-0.
6:45PM: I win $100 playing
blackjack at a casino in Tucson.
I'm starting to feel better about
being in Tucson. I no longer have
to convince myself that I really
do love my family. I really have
had some great opportunities in
life thanks in part to my family.
B y the time this article comes
out, my interview will be over.
Who knows if I will be a Padre
by then?r Either way, I can't
believe some of the things I have
been able to accomplish with the
help of CSUSM and my family.
I have worked with the "San
Diego Union-Tribune," "Associated Press," as^a scout for a
sports agent, toured with standup comedians and.now maybe a
job with the San Diego Padres.
I may be getting a little sappy
as the wind stretch of my college
days are nearing* but it's hard to
put into words how grateful I
am to my family at home and at
CSUSM.

Coverage of the Goodguys 7th
Annual Del Mar Nationals Car Show
BY SOPHIE BRINK
Pride Staff Writer
Rumbles and purrs sounded, the distinct
whine of a supercharger a clarion call in
the crisp spring air tinged with the mingled
aromas of kettle corn, falafel, burgers and
dogs. Sunny with blue skies and a cool
breeze, it was a perfect day for the Goodguys 7th Del Mar Nationals, held at the Del
Mar Fairgrounds. Hours later a fog bank
threatened to encroach upon the festivities,
but nothing would deter the thousands of
car enthusiasts from their yearly pilgrimage.
Hot steel juxtaposed against a backdrop
of Spanish mission architecture, an abundance of autos
stock and
^H^^^^^SL
modified, classics and kit cars - abounded,
their jewel box hues a dazzling sight to
behold. Candy, fire-engine and crimson
reds mingled with rides of teal blue, glittering gold and Dreamsicle orange.
In the O'Brien Hall, the elite hot rods
cooled their tires in the cavernous space,
contestants for the coveted Goodguys
Street Rod d'Elegance award. They glistened under artificial lighting, while
their less privileged yet still breathtak- •
ing brethren dazzled in the sunlight. I
Nearby, the Bing Crosby Hall housed !
the hundreds of vendors selling everything from custom headers to neon signs
boasting retro images from the 1950s.
For the kids, Goodguys offered a free
model make-n-take on Saturday at 1 p.m.
Kids could build their own model cars and
keep them as souvenirs. For the adults, there
I were how-to seminars from respected hot

Families, small children in tew, couples,

Faculty protest decisions of CSU Board of Trustees
BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN
Pride Staff Writer
Two hundred California Faculty Association members and
allies voiced their frustrations
and disapproval of the CSU Board
of Trustees, demanding that the
trustees rethink their priorities
and focus on the true needs of the
universities.
In response to the Board of
Trustees decision to increase student tuition by 15 percent while
simultaneously granting payraises for executive administrators, the CFA protested in front
of the Chancellor's Office in
Long Beach and "collectively"
addressed the board during a
scheduled Board of Trustees
meeting, on Wednesday, Feb. 2.
"We are working hard against
the opposition," stated John
Halcon, professor in the College
of Education at CSU San Marcos,
about the CFA's position, "and we
are working even harder to join
more in our campaign."
Ten diverse keynote speakers,
including faculty, CFA administrators and two student representatives, voiced the unilateral
disappointment in the Board of
Trustees' actions in neglecting
the heart and soul of the CSU: the
faculty and students. Collectively,
speakers highlighted the depth of
problems in the system, focusing on inadequate funding, heavy
workloads, increased classroom
ratios, erosion of salary compensation, resource constraints,
the inability for faculty to afford
California's cost-of-living and the
demand that the CSU Board get
their priorities straight.
Full-time faculty members
receive 25 percent less in wages
than comparable California institutions, making it difficult to
retain and recruit department
faculty. Concerns were raised
addressing how many faculty
members can no longer afford
middle-class standards of living,
making it nearly impossible to
own a home.

Last semester, ASI ran a pilot
program to provide the New York
Times and North County Times
free of charge on campus. The
placards on the newspaper stands
may read "courtesy of ASI", but
the reality is that all students are
paying for those papers.
Students walk by the newspaper stands on a daily basis and
give little thought to them, how
they got there and who pays for
them. For a short time, the stands
were empty. Now with the semester in full swing, the newspapers
are back. Which begs the question: who is 'really' funding this
program?
Initially, "ASI did pay for the
papers to be on campus," said
ASI President, Marc DeGuzman.
ASI had allocated $7,000 for both
the New York and North County
Times. ASI spent less than the
$7,000 budgeted for the program because the campus is only
charged for the amount of papers
taken from the stands.
This semester, ASI solicited
funding from the University.
"Last spring the department of
Academic Programs was generous enough to continue the paper
after the pilot period through the
rest of the semester," said DeGuzman. The department donated
$2400 to the readership program,
but it was not enough to cover
both newspapers for the entire
semester. The North County
Times was able to use funds
available through their education
outreach program to cover the
remaining cost.
Though the program is being
funded by a different department

Department is currently investigating this matter with a

of the CSUSM Police Department provided some tips to
help students avoid becoming victims of vehicle theft
or burglary. "If at all possible never replace a factory
installed stereo," said Miller,
who explained that although
stereo equipment tracking
has advanced in recent years,
the theft of a stereo results in
excessive interior and exterior
car damage. Secondly, Miller
advised, "Do not leave valuables in plain sight inside your
vehicle." This tip seems the
most basic of all, but Lieutenant
Miller explained that students
should rethink what is considered valuable. For students,
valuables can include not only
iPods, stereos or laptop computers, but also textbooks and
course materials. "A science
textbook bought for $150.00
can be sold back to the bookstore for almost half the initial
price, making books a popular
item to steal," said Miller.
University Police have
asked that students with any
information regarding this or

I n t he E xecutive's C hair w ith S DG&E
BY MICHELLE HEROLD
Pride Staff Writer
Edwin A. Guiles, chairman
and CEO of San Diego Gas and
Electric, climbed in the 'Executive's Chair' on Wednesday, Feb.
1, to share his knowledge, leadership and approach to business
strategies.
Sponsored by CLIMB, the
Center for Leadership Innovation and Management Building, and directed by Professor
Nichols and Dr. Pillai, the focus
of thè program is to expose students to influential leaders in the
community and demonstrate the
differences in business tactics
and philosophies.
While in the Executive's Chair,
Guiles stressed his simple, yet
sincere management style.
SDG&E is a San Diegan multibillion dollar Fortune 500 company, serving all of San Diego
County and some regions in
Orange County as well, making
it the largest gas company in the
country. Guiles started first as
an engineer 34 years ago, working up through the ranks to management and beyond.
Guiles explained how the
CEO sets the tone for the whole
company, which is why Guiles
makes it a priority to treat all
employees with mutual respect
and dignity, allowing free collaboration and communication
needed to solve problems. "The
single most important thing" a
manger can do, he said, was to
"pick people you can trust and
then delegate." In this way, companies are able to accomplish 16
hours worth of work in eight to
ten hours a day.
A CEO must be able to communicate to groups of people, he
said, broaden their education as
much as possible, develop a passion for what they do, and test it
when possible. He urges students
to be optimistic in the future and
their role in it, and to be able to
back up and take another forward direction, if they fall into
a rut.
The largest operating chal-
lenge Guiles has encountered
has been the challenge to build
the infrastructure to distribute
energy for the future and finding the capital to do it without
raising energy rates. If the distribution infrastructure is not
built, then all of the new energy
sources currently in the planning stages, like solar energy,
wind energy, liquefied natural
gas imported from other states
and our nearby neighbors, will
not be transportable. New lines
of transport must be built, he
says, or he foresees availability
problems around 2008-2009.
Not all of Guiles' emphasis
was on his profession, however.
He also stressed that people
must stay in balance or pay the
price. He encourages employees
to give back to their community by volunteering their time
and money. He also believes in
investing in the employee, even
offering scholarships for further
education, as well as specific
training.
Guiles wants SDG&E to be a
place where people are assured
of a good job, where hard work
is appreciated and rewarded,
where how things get done is as
important as good results.
Yet, most importantly, Guiles
strives to create a company
where employees are able to,
"have fun, make money, and be
proud of what they do."

members.
Faculty members' hours are
determined by the WTUs that
are sent to the Chancellors' office
in Long Beach. The WTUs are
separated into two categories, D
for direct time, including time in
class and class related work, and
I for indirect time spent working
on tenure track requirements or
committee issues.
In 1994, an agreement was met
to add one unit to each class for
the extra work for the instructor
based on the writing requirement. If an instructor teaches
three classes of three units each,
he or she would acquire 12
WTUs.
"It began when the founding faculty devised the writing
requirement. The idea of making
each and every course one in
which students could improve
their writing skills was one of
the ways CSUSM's curriculum
would be special," according to
a handout from the meeting.
In 1996, however, it was discovered that adjunct "received
three D-WTUs for a three-unit
course (and a full time load for
an adjunct faculty member was
defined as teaching five-course
- 15 units)," stated the handout.
Since the school was open for
a lawsuit as a result of the disparity, the reported WTUs began
to reduce, making it appear as if
the faculty did not have the same
work load as their peers in the
Cal State system.
"We generate more hours than
our peers," stated George Diehr,
former CFA president and
CoBA representative for Cal
State San Marcos.
"This is not policy, but actually guidelines," stated Robert
Sheath, Cal State San Marcos
provost, who went on to say
"this is a pilot process; we are
trying to work out the bugs,"
in response to questions about
the reporting of WTUs.
"We are here today to
demand that the guidelines be
revoked," said David Avalos,
CFA faculty rights representative.
Other concerns of the CFA
panel and faculty members
in the audience included
class size and how the WTUs
would affect the tenure track
requirements.
"I see this as accountability,
we need to agree about measurements," stated University
President Karen Haynes. "It's
about time this campus got
beyond workload."
The administration stated
they will take the grievance into consideration and
respond to the CFA chapter at
Cal State San Marcos.
representation. "It's about creating and protecting a fair and open
campus environment which welcomes and supports the diversity
of people and ideas."
Recognizing that each element
is vital for generating a strong
legacy, President Haynes believes
that the future of the campus
depends on the students.
"We believe that our most
important legacy will be the students themselves," said Haynes.
"Our legacy of leadership mandates that we prepare our students. We understand that our
legacy is not something that is
done,finishedand handed down,
but rather something vibrant and
living, paying forward in each
generation of students who come
to our doors and then to yours."

�Cougar life: Black History Month Buffet
BY ZACHARY J SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
On Friday, Feb. 3, CSUSM
hosted its annual brunch to celebrate African American Heritage
month. With a buffet provided by
Café Catering, a live acappella of
the black national anthem, and a
presentation by one of LA county's eminent motivational speakers, the event drew students and
staff alike. The delicious smells
and joyful sounds pouring out of
the Clark Field House even lured
in a few who had only hoped to
get a workout that day.
Attending the sign-in board
outside was Jen Kidder, director
of Campus Speakers for the ASI
programming board. Blonde hair
and blue eyes certainly didn't

ground. This was her third year
with the event, and she seemed
anything but drained by the task,
saying that "as long as they're
available, getting a speaker at
CSUSM isn't difficult."
As for the speaker himself,
having never appeared at this
particular event before, returning
attendants were sure to be curious. Ms. Kidder explained how
they made the choice "after reading through his impressive personal and professional biography"
but encouraged me to speak with
him myself as he mingled casually with the other early arrivals.
With so many students perpetuating the complaint that there
is no campus life at CSUSM, it
begs the question whether putting on an event, even a relatively
small one, asks too much of time
and space. Diana Wong, however, stated that "attendance is
more of a challenge than reserving the space." As the director of
cultural programming for ASI,
she regarded her task as neither futile, nor redundant. "After
taking a Race and Ethnic Studies
class with professor Sharon Elise,
I saw an application for cultural
programmer and I thought about
how I'd noticed that the campus
wasn't as diverse as it used to be,"
reflecting also that "these events
help people who aren't aware of
cultural diversity, but they also
help those who want to get more
involved."
Of course, everyone attending agreed that it was hard to get
involved on an empty stomach.
The buffet was unfurled precisely at 10 a.m., lining people up
for a seemingly endless supply
of favored breakfast proteins
along with a generous supply of
fruit and baked goods. Standouts
included what were described
as 'cheesy potatoes', tasting
more fresh-baked than assembly
fried. Biscuits disappeared first
from the trays, then under eager
helpings of gravy. Though this
reporter never cared for gravy in
the morning, it made the 'grits', a
previous mystery, taste like one
part mashed potatoes, two parts
cream of wheat, and a slice of
humble heaven. Furthermore, it
managed to satisfy even this perpetually starving belly well into
the afternoon.
Café Catering, owned and operated by CSUSM alumni Mark
DuBois, has handled more than
2000 cougar events in at least
seven years, and it's inconceivable that he won't be invited back
again.
At 10:30, everyone rose to
Ruby Udeh's solo performance of
the Black National Anthem, filling each heart in the small room
as well as any stadium spectacle.
Some sung quietly along, but
even had more people been familiar with the words, it's likely they
would have remained in silent
awe of the performance.
The speaker, Jahi Kweli, a Job
Searcy specialist for LA County,
followed with a warm and casual
retrospective of great inventions
by African Americans and a
story about a short teenager, cut
from his varsity team, named
Michael Jordan. He continued
on to involve the audience with
visual exercises emphasizing the
importance of pursuing one's natural talent. Attendants, returning
for seconds and thirds, smiled
back at him over their shoulders
as nerf balls flew about and two
attendants nearly collided in a
dash for cash.
Diana Wong, who in her own
speech explained the togetherness represented by the beautifully intertwined centerpieces,
had mentioned earlier that "food
does help draw people . .. but
sometimes I wish they'd stick
around longer. We definitely don't
want food to be seen as the event
itself."
Associate director of SLL,
Gezai Berhane, recalling at least
six years of this event, agreed;
"ASI does a great job every year.
It usually follows the same format,
but the overall thought behind the
event is what matters to me."
As the crowd dissipated back to
their classes, or to fill the carryout boxes brilliantly supplied
by Café Catering, the speaker
remained as approachable as
anyone, if a bit more smartly
dressed. "I really like speaking
to students, knowing that they're
going to be our future leaders,"
said Kweli. Although this was his
first time at CSUSM, he has a lot
of experience with colleges and
non-profits in southern California, and expressed how he'd "like
to see more events like this, with
a more mixed format and casual

atmosphere."
To anyone still nervous about
the idea of attending an ethnic
or cultural event, Ms. Wong
almost laughed at the idea, saying
"These events have never to my
knowledge had any kind of tension or conflict. People always
leave happy and full™
Junior, Geoff Wilton, who was
on his way to the gym and not
expecting an event, can attest to
that. "I was pleasantly surprised.
I enjoyed it and I was moved by
Jahi and his speaking."
February finds a long list of
CSUSM events to honor Black
History Month, and students are
encouraged to check with both
the Pride and ASI to make sure
they don't miss yet another truly
fulfilling experience.

The majority of tests are anonymous, is a measure of how responsible we are.
BY ANTIONETTE JOHNSON
Pride Staff Writer
I made the choice to get tested with the
notion that I owed it to myself and my significant other to act responsibly.
Student Health and Counseling Services
offers free HIV testing for students on the
first Wednesday of every month. All tests
are administered without appointments on
a first come first serve basis, and all results
remain confidential. Upon entering the SHS
office, patients are advised to sign in under
a name other than their own to encourage
anonymity. Even after patients are admitted
to the testing room, they are never required
to state their name, address, social security
number, or student identification number.
The only real identifier for SHS staff is a
patient's date of birth.
SHS utilizes a rapid test system that analyzes a swab sample taken from the mouth.
Test results are ready in 20 minutes using
this method, and testing negative under
this method requires no further tests. Other
test forms include conventional blood tests,
oral fluid tests, urine tests, and home tests.
Conventional blood tests require a sample
of blood be drawn by a health care provider for testing in a lab. Results from these
tests are available within two weeks. Oral
fluid tests are similar to rapid tests in that
swabs of the inside jof the mouth are used,
but these samples are then tested at a lab
and results can take anywhere from a few
days to two weeks. Urine tests are similar
to conventional blood tests, in that urine
samples are taken by health care providers
and results are made available within a few
days to two weeks. Home tests are sold at
most drugstores, where the patient pricks
a finger with a special device and places
blood drops onto a specially-treated card
that is mailed to a lab for testing. Patients
can call for their results using an identification number that comes with the home
kit for anonymous access. All HIV tests,
excluding the conventional blood test, are
FDA approved.
Though the selling point of the rapid test
is that results can be provided with little time
and effort, the 20 minute wait felt like an
homvln that time, I evaluated how I would
walk away with results positive or negative. It would be my responsibility to alert
my current partner and those before him of
my status if positive, but I could walk away
with a sigh of relief if negative. In essence,
my life would change with a result of positive, but my life would stay the same with a
result of negative. Or so I thought. My life
did not simply snap back to the way it was
one hour prior to my test.
Many patients need counseling after HIV
testing, even with a 'negative' result, and
SHS also offers these services to students
free of charge. The office also displays multiple pamphlets on HIV and AIDS as well
as other STDs, which patients can take with
them to further educate themselves on the
diseases and their implications. With all of
its available resources, the staff at Student
Health and Counseling Services encourages students to take advantage of medical services and testing opportunities. For

�Bacteria outbreak at CASH CORNER: National Debt
Kellooo Library
BY SUMMER CONNERY
Pride Staff Writer
Those who happen to walk
into the third floor of the Kellogg
Library this week are advised
not to panic. There will appear
to be an outbreak of giant strains
of fungus and bacteria, yet this
is only the latest art exhibit to
be displayed on the typically
pristine walls of the Kellogg
Library.
And the mastermind behind
this integration of art and science?
Lovefy New Zealand native,
Joyce Campbell, grew up on the
island, surrounded by a family
made up of artists, biologists,
and other scientists. This might
well explain her creative view
into the world of bacteria and
fungi.
The exhibition she brings is a
collection of her photographic
works taken over the past six
years. Campbell plans on taking
this opportunity to explore the
correlation of her separate works
over a period of time. One of
her favorite pieces of this exhibition is titled "subtilis". The
open stairwell in the library will
enable the 70 foot tall, 66 foot
wide photograph to be displayed
for art lovers and science buffs
alike. "The stairwell allows
people to see the work from
many different perspectives
and to explore it top to bottom,"
explains Campbell.
In order to capture these
intriguing masterpieces, Joyce
creates photograms by transferring images onto positive photographic paper. These beautifully
detailed pictures contain colonies of bacteria and fungi suspended in a gelatinous medium.
Though some may consider this
to be more of a flashback to
their fourth grade science project, Campbell sees it differently.
" I'm using photography to still
dynamic systems, I'm inviting
you to look more closely, and
to immerse yourselves within
images of structures in the process of becoming."
There is a thin line drawn
between art and science in Joyce

and Change". If students would
like to interpret these massive
forms for themselves, they need

Special to The Pride
HEY YOU ... YEAH YOU
... you owe me $27,000 and I
am going to collect soon! By the
way, if you see your mom, dad,
sister, brother, or infant niece,
tell them they owe me $27,000
too. And tell them Uncle Sam
said so!
'What the heck is this guy
talking about?'
Let me enlighten you. I'm a
finance-major and one of my
required classes (FIN 321) is
only offered by one professor,
Dr. Steve Zera. The other day
he brought up an issue in class
relevant to everyone in this
country and, obviously, all of us
here on campus. This being our
National Debt, which is going up
faster t han... w ell... faster than
tuition increases, or maybe even
faster then our textbook publishers can put out a new edition of
the same book (okay, maybe not
that fast). Last semester the debt
per person in this country, and
that literally means everyone
from day old newborns to senior
citizens, was about $26,000,
give or take a hundred bucks.
This semester that per person
debt is exceeding $27,000.
'That's not my debt, that's the
government's debt.'
Well who do you think pays
their bills?
Right, taxpayers like you
and me, taxpayers who have an
income and pay an income tax.
Taxpayers who, like us college
students, will probably be working for the next 20 to 30 years
(maybe more) are going to bear
the brunt of this debt; unless* of
course, we want to do like our
parents did and pass it on to
our kids. Understand that when
all these baby-boomers start
to retire, the first of which are
doing so this year, they will no
longer have an income to tax
and the burden will fall to our
shoulders. The sad thing is that
I don't think my parents even
knew what was going on. Reaganomics hit and left us with an
amazing debt of 2 trillion dollars. When Clinton came into
office in 1992 our debt loomed
at $4 trillion. When Bush came
into office in 2000 our debt was
about $5.67 trillion.
As of January 24, 2006,
our
national
debt
was
$8,185,315,076,347.87. That's to
the penny, folks. Wanna know
something even scarier? The
day before, that debt was about
$10 billion less. Overnight we
racked up $10 billion dollars!
Are you scared yet? Let's get a
little more technical. According to government record, our
population here in the United
States is. If you divide our debt
by our population then our
"per person" debt is exactly
$27,677.95. So pay up! Oh wait
. .. you're probably in debt too!
Isn't this exciting! I'm bringing
this up for two reasons. One is
just to promote awareness of a
serious crisis coming up on the
horizon, but the other is that
we have an especially unique
opportunity coming up on the
23 of March. When Randy
"Duke" Cunningham resigned
from our congressional district's seat in the House of Representatives, a lot of people
thought to themselves, 'I want
that job.' Those same people are
coming here to this campus on
March 23,2006 and are going to
field questions. Let's make this
an issue that gets heard. So, on
that day, I'm going to be sitting
in that audience and I hope you
will be too! Let our potential
representative know that this
is important. I don't want my
future children, grandchildren,
or great grandchildren to be
left facing this crisis. Check the
debt out for yourself at http://
www.publicdebt.treas.gov/opd/

23,2006!

�On Campus: Career Center
Special service helps students reach goals
BY NATASHA HECKENDORN
Pride Staff Writer
It's no secret that many college
students still don't know what
they want to pursue after graduation. Some aren't even sure of
their major. For anyone at Cal
State San Marcos whose stomach
tightens at the idea of picking a
future path, one office will seem
like a godsend. Located in 4201,
Craven Hall, the Career Center
is dedicated to helping students
help themselves by offering such
services as resume critiques,
mock interviews, and an open
lab containing most everything
a prospective employee could
need. No matter what stage of the
job search they're in, the Career
Center can help them achieve
their goals.
"We're not experts in everything, but we know where to find
information," said Pamela Wells,
the Center's associate director.
Connecting students to the
community is a big part of what
they do. Events like the Resume
Blitz, which will take place Mar.
2, allow students to submit their
resumes to actual employers and
get feedback, occasionally
resulting in a job or internship
offer.
The Career Center also has
connections with many San
Diego companies and can help
students get their foot in the
door.
"It's surprising," Wells
reflected during their open
house, "how many students
don't know we exist." It's likely
that more students would take
advantage of the services if
they knew how much career
counseling can cost after graduation.
The career center doesn't
charge for any service, except
$3 discs if you want to record
your mock interview, because
part of every student's tuition
goes to the career center, not
just the students who utilize it.
Therefore, those who think they
might need even a little help in
choosing a career, preparing for
that career, or getting started
in their field of choice, should
stop by the career center. More

Coming to CSIISM: Psychology fair
Students share research results with campus
BY LORA PAINTER
Pride Staff Writer
The 13th annual Psychology Student Research Fair will
take place on Friday, April 7th.
Learn more about the field of
psychology through presentations by CSUSM psychology
students, guest lecturers and
renowned professionals.
The Psychology Student
Research Fair is an opportunity for psychology students
to share their research findings
and ideas with fellow students
and faculty. Most presentations
are based on projects conducted
in their research methods/independent study courses. The allday event will consist of various activities such as a career
panel of psychologists, student
research posters, lectures and
job/graduate school information.
The Psychology Student
Fair has a "strong emphasis
on research," says Dr. Gina
Grimshaw, CSUSM psychology professor and faculty advisor for the event. Nonetheless,
it still has a reputation as a fun,
educational and exciting venue
where many different people
converge to learn more about
psychology.
Modeled after a professional
conference, the fair gives students valued experience in presenting their work to their peers.
Their scholarly research helps
advance the field of psychology
by presenting new ideas and findings.
Off-campus and international
guests are also welcome. In
previous years, the Psychology
Student Research Fair has had
guests ranging from UCLA and
USD to university students from
Mexico.
Students'
abstracts have
already been collected, and planning the exact schedule for the fair
is currently under way. Similar to
years past, presentations will take
place in various locations around
campus, such as Founders Plaza,
Commons 206, and lecture halls
in the Arts building. On the day
of the fair, signs will be posted
and programs will be handed
out to guide guests through the
events and presentations.
While exact times will be
announced soon, expect the fair
to take place between 8am and
4pm.
What makes this year different is keynote speaker t)r. Diane
Halpern, Professor of Psychology at
Claremont McKenna College
and recognized expert on cognitive psychology, gender studies
and critical thinking. She will
give an intriguing lecture on a
controversial topic: "Sex Differences in Cognitive Abilities:
What if Lawrence Summers is
Right?"
Dr. Halpern has attracted
attention nationally and internationally through her research in
gender and education. As current department chair at CMC
and 2004 American Psychology
Association president, Dr. Halpern's insights into cognitive abilities between the sexes will no
doubt arouse student interests in
psychology and draw more participants to the fair.
As the upcoming Psychology
Student Research Fair is such an
elaborate and highly-anticipated
event, it might be surprising to
discover that it is almost entirely
student-run. A committee of
about 20 students coordinate,
plan and organize the research
fair to showcase student projects and provide their peers with
access to professionals in the
psychology field.
For more information on the
fair, contact Dr. Grimshaw:

What I find most hilarious
about this event is the criticism that Kobe has received.
Why can't people just enjoy
something so amazing? Is it
because he has a few indiscretions in his past? How many
of us would be screwed if our
whole life was judged on our
most embarrassing moments?
In my opinion, his 81 points
was the greatest individual performance in NBA history and
people are fixating on his past.
So many things have to be
going in your favor to do what
he did.
You need to have teammates
who want to pass you the ball.
You need to be facing a bad
team. You need to be on a bad
team. You need to have a close
game so the coach doesn't pull
you out after you gain a big lead.
You need to hit a ton of threes
while still being able to shoot
some free throws. You also
need to play 48-minutes and
take close to 60-shots (Kobe
didn't do either) and most of
all, you need to really be in the
zone because the opponent is
going to double team you once
you reach 60-points.
Now back to it being the
single greatest performance in
NBA history. I think what he
did was much more impressive

than what Chamberlain did.
Chamberlain was the tallest
person in the league when he
played. There was no one that
could defend him. All Chamberlain needed to do when
he played was park under the
basket and lift his hand up to
put the ball in the bucket.
The league had a different
style to the game in Chamberlain's era. Teams nearly always
scored over 100 points in a
game whereas now some teams
have trouble scoring over 80
points. The NBA also didn't
use zone defenses which are
built to stop scorers and slow
down the game.
Kobe's MVP resume is much
more impressive now because
of 81 and if the Lakers make the
playoffs, I think Kobe will win
the award. Just last season he
was being booed in the majority of the arenas around the
league. 81 created an upswing
for Kobe. Consider that NBA
cities outside of Los Angeles
have actually been chanting
"MVP" during some of his
performances post-81.
Too bad the rest of us can't
get 81 to make our past indiscretions go away. Points that
is.

using my legs as transportation; I was chauffeured.
But what I thought was a
sweet deal soon turned very
sour.
When I first got on the
shuttle there were many seats
available. Foolishly, I did not
anticipate any delays in getting to my class. Several
students walked passed the
shuttle, graciously declining
the driver's invitation to give
them a lift. Fools, I thought,
they don't know what they're
missing.
No less than two seconds
later the shuttle was bombarded by my lazy colleagues.
Like the last life boat on
the Titanic, the shuttle was
swamped with students and
packed perilously full.
And yet the driver (bless his
heart) continued scouting for
more bodies.
Up and down the rows we
rode, picking up more students
along the way. My heart was
racing. How long have I been
in here, I wondered to myself.
Ten? Fifteen minutes? I have
to get to class pronto.
But there was no way out.
The shuttle was completely
packed. Elbows and backpacks jabbed me. My fellow
passengers were squeezed like

Pride Staff Writer
Parking Lot X (or what I
affectionately call the TireEating, Dust-Blowing, DirtLot) is not my friend. We have
been enemies ever since it was
inevitably constructed.
A couple of days ago, I
experienced one of the most
seemingly uninteresting yet
poignant events in my college
career. Instead of embarking on my usual (sometimes
excruciating) hike from the
dirt lot to my classroom, I
took the shuttle.
Ever since my freshman
year I can remember seeing
a little white van-bus thing
driving around campus with
the words "Coach USA" patriotically plastered on its side.
I also remember wondering
where the heck it came from
and where was it going.
It seems as if fate brought us
together, the van-bus and I.
As I locked my car and
turned up to begin my trek,
two plastic doors of the shuttle opened up before me. They
were like golden gates to a
castle. I was like a guppy,
drawn to the lure of an angler
fish. The gods have finally
smiled upon me! No more

the driver said with the halfhearted apology, "see how
long it took me to load up?"
Too little, too late, bud.
I'm going to be late to class
because of this shuttle ride
and it's all your fault! I am
definitely writing to my congressman about this.
To add insult to injury, the
driver catches every red light,
prolonging my anxiety even
more. The girl sitting next to
me looks indifferent, the word
"whatever" molded into her
face. She must be a regular.
I see the giant staircase by
Craven Hall looming in the
distance. The shuttle finally
slows to a stop and the passengers spill out of the shuttle,
stampeding to class.
Well, Lora, you survived
this one.
I appreciate the service provided by the shuttle and its
driver, but I think I'll stick to
my traditional way of transportation: walking. I have
learned from this experience
that perceived convenience
does not always bring the
results I plan for. Pace yourselves. Realize there is no
'easy' button. As college students, we should apply this
concept to every aspect of our
lives. It's like the wise man
said, "if you're running late,
don't take the bus."

Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM is still largely considered a commuter campus and as
such the campus receives students
from all over southern California.
You may be able to figure out what
cities or counties students are from
by their clothing, but the main
giveaway comes from their choice
of words in a casual conversation.
According to the MerriamWebster web site http://www.mw.com/dictionary/slang, slang is
"language peculiar to a particular
group." Due to its lack of formality, slang may not be accepted in
environments that require professionalism, but when the environment is more comfortable and
relaxed, slang seeps into the conversation. It helps individuals identify with each other when there
may be no connection elsewhere.
Certain slang words can identify
where an individual is from. San
Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco have their own unique slang.
Some commonly used slang used
to describe something as nice are,
"tight," "sweet," "gansta," "dope,"
"pimp," and "game." San Diego
locals would say something nice is
"sick" or "off the hook." Los Angeles locals would say it's "ill" or "off
the chain", and San Francisco locals
would say it's "hyphy". Instead of
saying "really" to add emphasis
to a word, San Diego locals say
"hella" and San Francisco locals
say "hecka". Commonly used slang
to say you are going to leave a location are, "jet," "split," "bounce,"
"roll out," "bone out," "shake the
spot," and "cruise." Slang used to

story. Back to the phone call, so there I was

or letter are "stay up," "late,"
"laters," "peace," "I'm out," and
"I'll holla."
Some slang used to describe
an altered state of mind induced
by alcohol or an illegal substance
are "lit," "loaded," "buzzed," and
"faded." Car is replaced by "ride."
Instead of shoes they're "kicks"
and instead of a hat it's a "lid."
"Threads" or "gear" are used in
place of clothes or outfit. Males
use "fine," "dime," "honey," and
"shorty" to describe attractive
females. Slang to describe the act
of showing something off is to
"rock," "sport," and "floss." To
describe someone deep in a romantic relationship "sprung" and "on
lock" are used. Someone trying
to flirt with another individual in
the hopes of getting his or her telephone number or "digits," is "spittin" or "trying to kick game." If
you like someone you're "jockin"
or "feelin" that person. If someone
is getting upset or angry "pump yo
breaks" and "slow yo roll" are used
to tell the person to calm down.
When you are spending time with
friends, usually at a small barbecue
or shindig, you're "kickin back" or
"chillin."
Some individuals may perceive
slang as representative of having
a limited vocabulary but it's the
opposite. The addition of slang to
a person's vocabulary increases the
amount of words he or she knows
and adds a conversational level the
individual can relate to others on.
Slang changes with each generation and latest trend. It may be hard
t a keep up with the latest lingo but
some slang words remain constant.
So stay up, peace, laters, I'm out.
your suggestions, your comments, and your
letters to the editor to me - that's a tradition
I look to continue this semester. So, besides
being Managing Editor, besides running a
weekly beer column, and besides trying not
to fail out of college, I want you to tell me
what you think, what's on your mind. Even
if it's bad, even if it's that you hjate the paper
- tell me, because I'll try to solve the problem and do my best to address your issues.
Thus, until it's summer and I start actually
sleeping again (maybe), tell me what's on
your mind, what type of music you're listening to, what your favorite movie is, and what's
wrong and what's great with The Pride at
schra009@csusm.edu or pride@csusm.edu.

�The 'Hostel Underworld': four paws a piece, but worth the rating?
BY ZACHARY SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
"You just see these movies for
the sex and violence."
Sound familiar?
Well it should.
'Cause you do.
Don't feel bad on my account;
movies didn't begin earning puerile interest on yours. That we have
people who can't legally drink discussing the 'bygone days of Hollywood' falls further at the feet
of the critics than moviegoers. It
should come as common courtesy,
to say nothing of sense, that the
average person is interested more
in whether they'll see a picture
than whether I'll remember it. You
don't owe my taste a thing, thus
it's up to me to feed your curiosity,
or maybe burp your skepticism.
Shamelessly cringe at the
"Action" pack. Whither without shame at the prospect of
"Romance." The stereotypes surrounding these genres are disgustingly true, and nine times out of
ten you should be forced to grease
your popcorn with your own
gonads for supporting either one.
The results of Hate/Violence
and Love/Sex are too profound
and impacting to be dealt with
in anything but either the coldest realism or the highest fantasy,
hence the inspiration to juxtapose
"Hostel" to "Underworld: Evolution". It also seems important to
reach out to all those who would
'only' see these movies for the
same combo package, to warn
against pursuing hungers that
could leave them either malnourished, or perhaps bloated. There's
no shame in wanting more of what
you couldn't get once upon a time,
II
and none in preferring it now in
more refined quantities. (I've been
known to dine with tight ties as
well as loose belts)
"Underworld: Evolution" caught
my attention firstly because the
first film involved hyper-modern
vampiresfightingwerewolves and
yet it had NOT been a hopelessly
corny piece of schlock. The only
draw to overshadow this was the
'R' rating amid
so many shameless ploys to
exploit the average teenager's
underdeveloped
value of a filmmaker's
time
and their parent's money.
And yet, even
though I'd been
surprised into
satisfaction by
the
original,
I was still not
expecting much
from the sequel
as I've seen
too many CGIdriven movies
given a great
crew, but no
pilot.
There are a fair number of
overdone lines and performances
throughout, each flavoring the
incidents where any Yank could
have told them a simpler way to
solve, or even avoid the present
conflict.
Ah yes, leave it to the British to
cure ham where we would grind
beef.
On the whole, though, plot and
dialog remain solid . .. for a vampire flic. And what a blessing this
is, as it would have been a shame
revenge after "Underworld: Evolution", and it's worth noting that
our heroine is made neither weak
nor distant to satisfy any lingering
memories of when it was a man's
underworld.
This brings us down, deep dark
down, to "Hostel". Hear this,
brothers in horror: unless that special person in your life has a deep
love of tits and gore, and I mean
'tits and gore',
not
nudity
and violence,
I suggest you
not even mention this film.
In
recent
years there
have been but
a few tributes to a time
when the celluloid slaughterhouse and
cathousewere
separated by
nothing but a
porous picket
fence. Today,
indeed, even
in their time,
the available
to dull visuals that will claw the
expletives right out of you. We're
talking professional, hyper-stylized, exaggerated violence here.
Death involves blood and pain,
cold Will and unbridled Fury.
I raise my glass to its red moon.
As for the sex, however, our
more Randy Nightbreeds might
leave feeling their testosterone
unevenly distributed. Yes, our
Courtesy of Lakeshore Entertainment
heroine does engage in unholy
union. It was tantalizing, yet tasteful. There is only one other steam
scene, however, and it can hardly
be called either. It could have done
well as a more raw and carnal
contrast, but only if given a little
more time and creativity amid
the absurd notion that bloody
vampire threesomes will see you
taken more seriously if you keep
your top on. In this respect, however, the average girlfriend is far
less likely to demand chick-flic
technologies
(and apparently
unavailable script doctors) give
these films a kind of slapstick surrealism.
If anyone laughs at "Hostel," it
is clearly to suppress or otherwise
mask a more embarrassing reaction.
This latest work from the director of "Cabin Fever" is most certainly not a chance to convert the
squeamish. If anything, it may do
the opposite, as it removes any
notion of human cruelty as an
amusing catharsis with a frank
portrayal of those who would
treat it as precisely that. Everything about "Hostel" is disturbingly believable, even amid some
overtly mood-building dialogue
and convenient twists of plotted
fate. The characters are well delivered, and the violence, the charnel
house gore, is graphic enough to
make even Mel Gibson proud,
despite the considerable quantity
of hot naked chicks fornicating in
the first 30 minutes. The absence
of complex women does, however,
leave a sense that the filmmakers
worked in a frame of adolescent
isolation. Moviegoers with a clear
ear will also notice the disappointing transition in the soundtrack
from effectively eerie electronics
to base blockbuster bombast. To
"Hostel's" greatest credit though,
is the malleable final-lesson, forever dancing seamlessly between
"don't venture too far into the
forest" and "the worst of us is
within each of us".
Those with a bottomless appetite for the human abyss have an
A-moral obligation to see this
utterly essential contribution, but
the rest are best advised to get
their ultra-violent waves through
a more obviously fabricated filter.
Blood for blood, both "Underworld: Evolution" and "Hostel"
maintain a sharp seat-edge, and
are worth the theater experience
to those already inclined. While
the latter may have twice the wit,
it hasn't half the grace, and while
the former may not send you away
in contemplation, insight might
not justify the risk of nausea.
As to whether sex and violence
is ever 'just,' let the older generation decide, with entertainment
made explicitly and graphically
for them.

�How To ... Dress for Spring 2006
BY ANDREW RUISEÑOR
Pride Staff Writer
Men, it's time to drop the collars on
your polos and listen up, spring fashion is out and it's time let go and move
on. This season is all about being a
70's rock icon to an 80's punk god to
the yuppies you were raised by, but
before we go into that let's step back.
First and foremost, get denim
that fits you. For example, low rise
~ not ok (enough with the boxers
out already). Your jeans should be
higher on the waist, skinnier leg, and
a light fade is nothing to be afraid of.
If you're going to be wearing shorts
this spring, plaid below the knee or
destroyed denim shorts are a must to
pull off that yuppie/ punk appeal.
As far as dressing up is concerned,
black or cream pants contoured with
an opposite-colored belt says, "I am
dressed up, but still edgy and ready
for business."
For tops, it is all about being that
70's rock icon. Were talking the vintage rocker "T" shirt that looks beat
up and thrown on with your favorite
band's logo on your chest. Black, red,
cream, blue, and other colors are ok;
it's spring so feel free to be adventurous. Yeah, there might be some
bleach on it and maybe it's a little
tight but go with it, after all, you don't
care, you're a rock star.
Also, men, ditch the sleeves this
spring and show of your guns, big or
small, and finally rid those tan lines
once and for all.
But if you're not so much a rock
star or a punk prince, feel free to go
with floral prints (please just stay
away from the Hibiscus). A nice
button up with some floral print is
just the thing. Not to mention, white
fitted jackets are huge this spring, so
the lining can also have some flavor
with floral.
As far as jackets are concerned,
sport coats for dinner and jeans
should stick to one button, unless
you are getting a suit, then it is about
fitted double breasted jackets. Not to
be confused with the double breasted
jacket you borrowed from your dad
for homecoming that was also double
the size. Make these jackets and coats
yours, so put a couple of pins on them
to make them edgier then the normal
formal.
Be you, and be the guy others want
to emulate.
Now we're getting into accessories.
If you want to catch those over critical
eyes, why not try a leather wristband,
or some dog tags. If all else fails, just
have some cool sneakers on, or boots
that can kick your best buddy's butt.
Men's spring fashion is about being
brash and out of control. Be loud, be
risky, be you. Modify what you have
read and make some of it fit.
Beoroftheweek:
Capistrano Honey Ale
BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM
Pride Staff Writer
In today's world, where television advertisements for beer are
dominated by brands like Coors,
Miller, and Budweiser, it's unfortunate that many beers on the
opposite end of the spectrum get
very little attention - especially
when they are really good beers.
Micro-brewery beers are one
such type of beer, and one very
good one is the Capistrano Brewing Co.'s Honey Pale Ale.
One of three beers put forth
by this small micro-brewery
based locally in southern Orange
County, Honey Pale Ale has all
the qualities that many mainstream beers are missing. With
its golden hue, mild hops, and
slightly sweet honey flavor, the
Pale Ale is a delightful beer, not
too strong, like some darker
beers, yet lacking in neither
flavor nor texture, given its light
color. A slice of lemon added to
a cold glass of the Pale Ale also
serves to mask any bitterness,
and actually strengthens the flavors produced by the honey and
citrus used.
The Capistrano Brewing Co.
takes its name and logo from the
old Spanish mission in historic
San Juan Capistrano, where
swallows still come to nest each
year. Artwork associated with
the Capistrano Brewing Co.
features scenes from the mission and the swallow as chief
motifs, along with the phrase
"Follow the Swallow," on all its
products. While the Capistrano
Brewing Co. has yet to establish
a home brewery in San Juan
Capistrano, many local bars
in Orange County,
such as Boosters
and the Capistrano
Wine Bar, as well as
some in San Diego
County, carry the
Honey Pale Ale on
tap. Honey Pale Ale
is definitely one
regional beer that is
worth following the
swallow for.

Ale and the Capistrano Brewing Co.,

Spring is right around the
corner and all the top designers are coming out with their
latest collections for spring
2006.
Ladies, that means it's
time to get into those closets and clear out the old and
make room for the new. In
order to have the hottest
looks, here are ten trends to
be aware of this season.
With warmer weather and
days by the beach, spring
collections are bringing in
the nautical look with blue
and white sailor stripes and,
for extra flare, brass buttons,
which are great for a day by
the sea or j ust to add a little
whimsy to your look.
Another tendency when
the weather t urns warm is to
shed those winter coasts and
show a little more. Needless
to say, skin is in this season
. .. or at least the appearance of skin with colors
like beige, white, cream and
nude. You'll be giving the
illusion of sexy flesh while
still being covered up.
Keeping to the theme of
skin, Bermuda shorts, which
cut off at the knee, are out,
and short shorts are in. Don't
be a fraid to show some leg!
If you're looking for a
more conservative look to
cover those cute behinds, go
with extremely slender, perfectly tailored pants that cut
off j ust above the ankle.
As f ar as waistlines go,
pants and shorts that bunch
up at the top, otherwise
known as the paper bag
waist, or fold over at the top,
are popular this season.
For an ultra-girly-girl look,
sixty-style baby doll dresses
are making a comeback
in many prints and styles.
Bold prints such as A frican motifs, giant geometric
shapes and j umbo blossoms
give a dramatic statement
to the baby doll dress. But
if sweet innocence is what
you are looking for, then
baby doll dresses made with
delicate laces, flowing white
eyelet and embroidered
designs are a p erfect fit.
Now for the f un part that
we all love, accessories.
Thick belts are wrapping
their way around our hearts
and our waists this season.
Worn high around the midsection, not the hips, they
give the waist a cinched
in look which makes this
accessory a must have.
P urses are going extreme
in spring. Having an exciting night on the town? Go
with a petite p urse j ust big
enough to hold the essentials like lipstick, cash, cell
phone and identification
card. For a great day-time
look, go with an extra large
purse, but unlike last season
when purses were really big
with crazy colors and prints,
this season is about clean
lines and geometric shapes
which play into the sixties chic rather than sixties
hippy.
Finally, the shoes. Spring
2006 is all about high
wedges and chunky heel
platforms. The style of the
shoes encompasses this season's mix of sleek and bold
in one simple accessory.
With all these tips, you'll
look like you j ust f reshly
stepped off the runway
by getting a head start on
the hottest fashion trends.
Spring 2006 is all about
having f un and showing off
those sexy assets that make
you a fabulous female.
Rockin' at the House of Blues
BY KANONNI WILLIAMS
Pride Staff Writer
With banging beats, live
entertainment, good food and
freebies, "House of Blues San
Diego" (1055 Fifth Ave., San
Diego 92101) is sure to be a
hot spot for party-goers 21 and
over.
On the night I visited House
of Blues, Feb. 1, west coast
rapper/producer, DJ QUIK was
performing his greatest hits
backed by his live band, "The
Formula" in the music hall of
House of Blues. The hip hop
duo, DUEX PROCESS was the
opening act for QUIK, Tickets
were sold at $27.
House of Blues,fairly new to
San Diego, having opened its
doors in May 2005, is located
in downtown San Diego (partygoers' paradise). House of Blues
attracts a highly diverse crowd,
reflecting the different faces of
San Diego County.
The age range, on this particular night, was very broad,
ranging from 21 to about midthirties (or higher). While in
line to enter the House of Blues,
guests were asked to sign up for
the House of Blues mailing list
and, as a token of their gratitude
(or method of promotion), every
lady who signed up received
two free passes to Club Hustle's
College Night, located in House
of Blues' Salvation Alley.
College Night is every Friday
and is well on its way to becom-
ing "the hottest Friday night dance
club in San Diego." I recommend
all the party-goers (21 and up)
here at CSUSM go check out College Night at the House of Blues
and represent the Cougars, and
show San Diego that the Aztecs
are not the only ones that know
how to party.
Clubbin' is not the only thing
House of Blues has to offer, if you
enjoy southern-inspired cuisine,
House of Blues has an experience
waiting for you. The kitchen is
open daily 11:30 a.m. 'til last call
(midnight).
House of Blues also offers daily
entertainment, from music to
comedy shows and performances.
DJ QUIK was one of many performers coming to the House of
Blues this month. Jr. Vasquez
(dance) will be there Feb. 5, Rick
Ortiz presents: Noches Rockeras
(Latin) on Feb. 8, Social Distortion (rock) on Feb. 20 and Tommy
the Clown (comedy) on Feb. 26.
Tickets for these events and many
others can be purchased at the box
office (619) 299-BLUE or through
Ticketmaster (619) 220-tixs.
The atmosphere is fabulous at
the House of Blues. It is large in
size, allowing enough room for a
very large crowd without having
to be packed like Sardines. It has
beautifully decorated walls, featuring modern colors, hanging
paintings and other interesting art
works.
One of the best features of the
House of Blues is its booming
sound system. The sound system
features equipment from Telex
Pro Audio brands EV, Midas and
Klark Teknik. The bass flows
through your chest; it sounds and
feels really great!
The restrooms are well kept,
which was impressive to me,
because I've seen many neglected
restrooms in different nightclubs.
The women's restroom was clean
with a fresh scent, there were
ample mirrors and gorgeous light
fixtures. There was also a restroom attendant handing out paper
towels, mints and body spray for
tips. There's an ATM machine
near the bar, for those who do not
carry much cash.
I really got my money's worth
and then some when I think of
the whole night. DJ QUIK, who
is "blowing his mid-thirties," put
on a great show. He poured wine
in glasses of those audience members who were lucky enough to be
close to the stage. Later, he gave
the whole audience a champagne
shower; he shook up a bottle of
bubbly and popped the top, allowing the tasty, yet very wet, contents to rain down on the audience.
Before QUIK came on stage, the
House of Blues DJ was giving
out freebies to the livest audience
members. I was live enough to snag
two of six tickets to the Tommy
the Clown comedy act scheduled
for later this month. Other freebies
included House of Blues T-Shirts
and tickets to other events.
The house special for the night
was $5 Heinekens, which was my
drink of choice for the evening. I
totally had a great time and would
recommend the House of Blues to
anyone looking for a good time.

CFA u p i n a rms
Faculty Association holds informational picket for a fair contract from CSU chancellor
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
On Monday, in the library
plaza, CSUSM professors
took part in informational
picketing as they made their
first public step against
CSU Chancellor Charles
Reed and his administration. Armed with signs that
read, "Stop the Ripoffs!"
"Roll Back Student Fee
Hikes!" "Teaching: an art,
not just a job." "Fair Contract!" professors of all doctrines held a common goal:
to have their voice heard and
their actions acknowledged
by the CSU administration,
the legislator and Governor
Arnold
Schwarzenegger,
for the sake of education on
every level.
As the president of the
San Marcos chapter for the
California Faculty Association, Dr. Janet Powell was
among the 50 professors.
According to Dr. Powell,
professors in the CSU
system are 18% behind in
salary compared to professors out of state. In trying
to keep up with California's
cost of living without any
recent significant raises
in salary proposals, most
professors across the CSU
system have decided that
they are no longer able to
comply and instead, they
are aiming to go on strike.
"For the past 19 months,
the CFA has been out of
contract negotiations with
the Chancellors Office," Dr.
Powell said. "They refused
to come back to the bargaining table."
According to the CFA,
in July 2005, the salary
increase of CSU executives
was 19.4%. The CSU faculty
raise was 3.5%.
Since 2002, the CSU
administration
and the
board of trustees have raised
student fees by 76%. The
administration has plans
to increase the fees by 10%
through 2010.
Additionally, there are
1,000 administrators in
the CSU who earn over
$100,000 each year. Most
professors earn less money
in a year than what adminSee CFA, page 3

Zeta Beta
Tau
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
Among the new additions to
Cal State San Marcos this spring
is the men's fraternity, Zeta Beta
Tau. Yesterday, ZBT representatives visited CSUSM in hopes
of encouraging young men to
become the founding fathers
of the CSUSM chapter as they
immerse themselves in leadership roles and have some f un
along the way.
ZBT is the oldest and largest Jewish fraternity and it is
significantly the only fraternity:
CSUSM has invited to become a
part of the school since the initial
invitations a decade ago. The fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon and
sororities Alpha Chi Omega and
Alpha Xi Delta were the first to
arrive at CSUSM.
For over 50 years, ZBT has
been a non-sectarian fraternity. Director of Chapter Affairs
Laurence Bolotin says, "ZBT is
proud of its history but it is not a
religious organization."

In what used to be the old CSUSM library, all those in Cougar Central have now set up shop. In
one convenient place renovated for the sake of students, one can find the Enrollment Services
Information Center, Student Financial Services and Registration and Records. Just outside of
Cougar Central (Craven Hall 3900) is the newly renovated Tukwut Courtyard. Tukwut, pronounced
"TOOK-woot" is the Luiseno word for cougar. The only way for students to enter Cougar Central
is to go through Tukwut Courtyard. Service hours are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through
Friday. Extended hours, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, will take place through the
add/drop period which ends February 2.

really, it's THAT powerful. But
with yielding such power comes
great responsibility, the responsibility to act. As impeccable as
the Pride may be ;) we can't possibly cover every issue that needs

cover your event, or if we favor
the campus coffee cart over Starbucks, or if Jock Talk With Josh

even print it for you for f ree. Just
t hink your name in the hands of
thousands of fellow students,
that's better access than even
your Myspace bulletin board, and
without the threat of a v irus or

Letter from the Editor in Chief
then I became the Business
Manager, and now I will be
assuming the roll of Managing Editor of the paper. Now
enough about me and onward to
The Pride.
I've really enjoyed my past
experiences with The Pride and
expect nothing less f rom this
coming year. The Pride has certainly struggled throughout its
existence here at CSUSM, but
I believe that given our limited
resources (at one point we had
j ust six editors and five contributing writers!), The Pride has
been successful in its e fforts
to produce a paper that is continually progressing in its quality. Here at The Pride we strive
to provide the people of this
campus with the essential, as
well as relevant information
regarding this school, while
at the same time serving as a
voice of the students. Not to
forget our e fforts to entertain,
whether it's through our "Saved
By The Bell" crossword puzzle
or our horoscopes f rom Ms.
Moondream. All in all we hope
to put out a u seful student newspaper, with the ' student' aspect
emphasized.
Thi$ brings me, to my; plea f ^r
the students here at CSUSM to
join in our efforts here at The
Pride. I would like this paper to
continue to do what it does well,
but also improve on the areas
where it is lacking. For example,
I believe the paper has done a
great j ob expanding its coverage of our sports program over
this past semester, but now I
would like for us to cover more
activities within the arts department. Changes like this will
occur throughout the paper, and
I believe we can all benefit from
your input. As we hope to put
out a paper that's informative,
interesting and entertaining to
our readers, your thoughts and
opinions are really important.
By knowing what you, the readers, are looking for in our paper,
we can better provide. So how
about it? Lend us your thoughts
at pride@csusm.edu. Alright
well good luck this semester and
I hope to hear from you.
Jason Encabo
For the rest of you, we have a
lot to look forward to this semester. Much has changed over the
break. The campus has r eorganized itself utilizing the 3rd floor
of Craven Hall for student services. Even the Pride relocated
(CRA3500) and our new pad
is really sweet, please feel f ree
to come by to hang out and see
what's going on.
As for the Pride, Jason Encabo
(our newly appointed Managing
Editor) and myself are hoping to
implement video stories through
The Pride Online, we are even
planning to showcase student
work/films (again if interested:
pride@csusm.edu). The Sports
section really took off last semester, in large part due to Kyle
Trembley's incredible coverage,
and we can look forward to Baseball, Softball, Golf and Track and
Field coverage this semester. We
have integrated comics and crossword puzzles into each issue,
which hopefully you have found
to be enjoyable. Also, Amanda
Andreen has stepped up to become
The Pride's new Feature's Editor,
expect some great features stories
about student life in the coming
issues. All together the staff at
The Pride started off fresh last
semester and they have all really
started to find their voice. I, for
one, can't wait to see where they
take the paper this semester.
As for you, thank you for reading and continue to write to us.
This is truly your paper and if we
aren't serving you the way you
would like, let Us know how we
can.
For now, I leave you to enjoy the
rest of this issue. Summer break
is almost here, the Chargers are
about to d raft some more players
and I have some hops and barley
to consume for Beer of the Week.
Your Editor,
David Gatley

Campus Police p repare to unveil a c omprehensive r estraining

BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
A s campus police strive to
accomplish their mission in
preserving and protecting the
working and academic environment, they have created a new
program titled University Police
Restraining Order and Response
or UPROAR.
The additional service is
intended for students, s taff and
f aculty at CSUSM. In t he past,
members of t he CSUSM community have filed r estraining
orders against t heir ex-husbands,
e x-girlfriends
and
ex-boyfriends. I n c ertain cases, those
who were told to r emain outside of any f orm of communication or physical contact r efused
to do so, t hreatening students,
s taff or faculty. In c ertain cases,
the t hreats have led t o t hreats of
physical assaults.
W hen followed properly, a
r estraining order should not
p ermit t he m ale or f emale t o
c ommunicate w ith t hose w hom
they d esire t o t hrough cell
p hone, email or any i n-person
c ontact. T he order should
i mmediately h alt any f orms of
verbal t hreats, h arassment or
s talking.
With UPROAR, campus police
are extending their hand for
anyone who has filed a restraining order or anyone who is looking t o file one, to share the order
with the campus police where
they will review it in discussion
then keep the restraining order
on file in the utmost confidentiality.
I n the event that those who
do not abide by the court order
arrive on campus, the campus
police could apply the knowledge
of the physical description f rom
the file when needed.
Additionally, for all those who
are looking to file a restraining
order against someone, campus
police would be able to assist
them in filing the order, and
point them toward the proper
resources.
Officer John Balos said, "As a
means to b e proactive and help
the community remain safe, we
would like to work effectively
in f orming relationships with
the community to help eliminate
possible crimes f rom occurring."

Powell said, "Classes are being
cancelled, professors are leaving,
students aren't graduating." She
added, "The CSU is dying. It's
hard to tell because our university is growing."
Many look to the CSU
system as one of the best
_
leading examples of quality education available to
students at an affordable
price. For years, it has
been. But recently, without
an adequate salary given
to the CSU faculty to live
within California's standards, the future is grim
according to Dr. Powell.
As a last resort in their
endeavors, faculty at all
23 campuses are taking
action.
Another motto of the
CFA is, "Faculty working
conditions are student learning
conditions." Recently, they've
adopted a new one. "I don't want
to strike, but I ^ ill."
As they circled Library Plaza,
the professors chanted, "What do
we want? Contracts! When do

radical move to make in 1990 as
it still is today. The decision to
make the fraternity a non-pledging one was done in order to
eliminate hazing. The result was
immediately successful. Since
1990, ZBT has received high
praise and attention from vari-
T he
we want it? Now!" "What's it all
about? Quality Education!"
Never in the history of the CSU,
have professors gone on strike.
"At this point," Dr. Powell said,
"We believe we have to stand up
Tuesdayf January 23, 2007
ing how much money the CSU
system has, how much money
is being distributed, along with
other related statistics. Once the
fact finding process is finished,
it becomes legal for professors to
go on strike.
i
The faculty plans to
take part in two day rolling strikes that will take
place throughout the
state of California. Once
they go on strike, the
faculty predicts that the
Chancellor's office will
impose a contract.
There is a possibility
that a professor on strike
would have to cancel one
of their classes when on
strike. If desired, there is
also a possibility that the
———
class could convene at a
location off campus.
Dr. Powell made it clear that for
every faculty member participating in the strike, as much as they
are determined to send a message
to the Chancellor's Office, they
are equally sympathetic towards
their students in not letting the
strikes interfere with their students' regular coursework and
studies. Dr. Powell said, "We
don't want to hurt our students.
Our desire is to minimize the
impact on [them]."
Of all the f ull time tenure track
professors who belong to the
local chapter of CFA, 70% support the strike.
At the end of February, the
CFA will vote whether or not
they will go on strike, although it
is most likely that they will. The
strike would take place in the
front of the school, on Twin Oaks
Boulevard, at the end of March
or April. "Nobody wants this to
happen, Dr. Powell said, but we
don't have any choice. We're in a
bad place. This spring will be a
tough semester."
An informational strike meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 6 at 11:45 in the Clarke
Field House. To reserve a lunch,

On February 5th, ZBT will
return to the campus for one full

events off campus as well.

F AFSA 101: Financial aid for beginners

Many students start out their
first semester of college not
knowing that they could qualify
for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, also known
as the FASFA. Some students
go semesters or even years not
knowing what t o do and struggling to figure it all out. Well, no
more will students see the FASFA
as a challenging process.
FASFA becomes available
during December of each year.
This is when students can begin
their process of filing for financial aid. The Cal State University system priority filing date
is March 2nd of each year. This
means the CSU system encourages all applicants to have sub-
mitted their financial aid information before or close to that
time; though that isn't necessarily the deadline, as CSUSM will
still accept applications for the
FASFA after the deadline. However, filing late makes the process of getting financial aid more
drawn out. According to the
CSUSM website (www.csusm.
edu), "If you meet the March 2nd
priority filing date, you improve
the chances of receiving aid from
all the programs for which you
are eligible."
Once a student applies for
financial aid, CSUSM's Financial
Aid & Scholarship Office will
collaborate with the student and
keep them updated on any papers
or information they may need to
complete the process. For example, "required documents may

�J ock talk with Josh: Winter Break recap
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
Well, that was
the final winter
break of my college career, and I
couldn't have had
a better time. I did
a lot of partying, a
little bit of writing
and working, a lot
of lying around,
and a ton of thinking about my future. The biggest occurrence, however, was when I chopped off
my beautiful locks of ham
A lot of things happened over break that
I was dying to comment on. I felt like the
world was taunting me with all of the happenings over the past 5 weeks. Of course,
there are other outlets that my name
appears in, but no place gives me more
freedom than this newspaper, which I am
going to dearly miss in five months when
I graduate.
What made me happiest to see over
break was Tony Gwynn being elected into
the Hall of Fame. I grew up watching him
play baseball, and have been lucky enough
to meet him while on assignment. It's great
seeing good guys get some recognition
every once in a while. Along that same
subject, I was very glad to see that "The
Hulk", Mark McGwire, did not get in.
What I was least shocked to see over
break was the Chargers collapse in the
playoffs. I predicted this exact occurrence
in my article last semester about LaDainian Tomlinson.
Speaking of that article, I was most
shocked over break to see that someone in
the media essentially stole my column idea
a month after I wrote it. I take it as a compliment that people outside of this campus
read this paper.
I was most disgusted to be a United
States American when I constantly saw
the Rosie O'Donnell and Donald Trump
"feud" in the headlines. I think I may be
the only person left in this country who
doesn't want to see a hippo and a hyena
fight.
I was most proud to be a United States
American when I saw that our President's approval rating is at an all new low,
because people in this country are finally
seeing that things are pretty messed up
around here.
I was most proud of a fellow entertainer when Damon Wayans challenged
the authority of the "Laugh Factory" in
Hollywood. A fter the Michael Richards
incident, the "Factory" banned the use of
Juniors • Seniors •
G r ad u a te S t u d e n t s
A spiring to obtain doctorate
the word that "Kramer" was lambasted
for using. Some clubs, like the "Tempe
Improv" have eve gone as far as to ban all
cuss words. Wayans incurred a fine from
the club and a several month ban. As much
as I don't like derogatory names, I despise
censorship that much more. Hopefully that
last sentence made the final cut.
In December, I was most sad when I
heard the news that James Brown died.
I was most scared just a few days later to
see his face on a billboard saying that he is
scheduled to perform "live" in San Diego
in late January.
I felt most victorious when I heard the
news that University Hour is going to be
decreased to only two days a week starting
in fall 2007. Although I won't be here to
see the spoils of my laborious opposition
to the ridiculous concept of "nap time"
for college students, I still feel a sense of
accomplishment.
I was most relieved when grades came
out for last semester and I earned three A's,
two B's and one C in my 19-unit semester
from hell.
This semester should be a lot more
enjoyable since I am only taking 16 units
and graduating in May.
As usual, you can send me an e-mail to
sando026@csusm.edu. As I have previously mentioned once or twice, this is my
last semester of college and my last semester with the paper, so lets make sure it is
just as controversial as all the other ones.

Nominated for five Golden

Best Supporting Actress (Jennifer

or Musical (Beyonce Knowles),
and Best Original Song, three
Screen Actors Guild awards, and
garnering numerous additional
accolades, "Dreamgirls" is sweeping through the 2006 awards

Set in the early 1960s, "Dreamgirls" opens with a dream shared
by three young singers who
call themselves the Dreamettes

"In America, it's bling bling.
But out here it's bling bang." Danny Archer
Amidst the height of civil
war and rebel uprising, "Blood
Diamond" takes place in Sierra
Leone, Africa during the late
1990s. "Blood Diamond" leads
audiences through a chaotic and
powerful story of two African
men both searching for their
own interpretation of liberation. Danny Archer (Leonardo
DiCaprio), a diamond smuggler
searching for a way out of Africa,
and Solomon Vandy (Dihmon
Hounsou), a fisherman who loses
everything as the country's lust
for diamonds swells, both captivate and overwhelm the screen
alike, and both look to the value
of the diamond to save them.
Playing the romantic object of
Danny Archer, Jennifer Connelly
portrays the know-it-all American journalist, Maddy Bowen,
searching for the underground
and undiscovered story of conflict diamonds. Though her portrayal is somewhat contrived,
she aptly depicts a believable and
compassionate journalist, and her
presence is necessary to complete
DiCaprio's portrayal of a rugged,
African, and believable man's
man. Without her, DiCaprio's
performance wouldn't have been
as sharp, and without DiCaprio,
my experience of the film and its
message would have been absolutely flat.
The meat of the plot begins
when Solomon Vandy's family is
torn from him as "RUF" rebels
(whom are mostly child soldiers)
raid his village. In line to be disfigured by a machete, Vandy is
spared by the commander of RUF

mines. Enslaved to a muddy
river sifting through sediments
for diamonds, he stumbles upon
a giant pink diamond. Realizing
that hiding and burying the rock
is the only he will be able to live
and secure his family's survival,
he hides the rock just as the diamond mine camp is bombed.
Captured by the opposing military, he finds himself in prison,
where Danny Archer is as well,
after having been caught smuggling diamonds across the Sierra
Leone border into Namibia. It is
in the prison then that Vandy's
secret is revealed as the commander too arrives at the prison,
and knows that Vandy had found
a pink stone. Overhearing this,
Archer ensures Vandy's release
and o ffers his help to find Vandy's family in hopes of being
led to the pink diamond. As war
erupts and destroys the city, the
two are forced to band together
if they are to survive.
The issues director Edward
Zwick and screenplay writer
Charles Leavitt address and
impose upon viewers are about
the harsh realities of conflict diamonds and how much
people in A frica s uffer f rom the
retrieval of diamonds for export.
Equally as important, the movie
o ffers insight into the unfathomable life of a child soldier, and
the life they create under the
worst of conditions. The torrents of brutal killing, display of
unimaginable survival tactics,
and the actuality of the diamond
business as well as the civil war
in A frica were almost too much
to take for the 2 hours and 23
minutes that contains the experience of "Blood Diamond." With
no inhibitions about showing it
like it is along with an unbelievable and flawless performance
by DiCaprio—who definitely
makes it clear that he's grown
up since his "Titanic" days—
"Blood Diamond" is a must see.

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

about 600 vehicles. The new

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

than a simple switch, as it also
starts the emergency generator

the generators output. Through
the use of the ATS, an electrical

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,

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

working on the high voltages
present at the main switchgear,
which is neither safe nor practical, the power was temporarily
interrupted.

On Saturday, Jan. 18 in San

was widely deemed the largest

of such low projections. Yamout
said, "This isn't the first time I've

Just last fall A.N.S.W.E.R held a

that the reason he helped create

Last
week,
problems
associated with high quantities
of automobile oil consumption
in the United States were
explored. 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),

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.
Scripps Clinic Rancho Bernardo is conducting a research studyof an
investigational medication to treat women's yeast infection.

standards
fuel-economy
Federal regulations, called
the Corporate Average Fuel
Economy (CAFE) standards,
have been in place since 1975 to
govern mpg efficiency.
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.

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

providing an overview of global
oil news, "is an unornamented

people who want to poke a finger
in the eye of Saddam Hussein,

who jump into gas-guzzling

The numbers of these cars

�Mars on Earth
By MEG EPPEL
Pride Staff Writer
San Diegans are going to
Mars. 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

Welcome to CSUSM Arts & Lectures
By JENNIFER RHODUS
Pride Staff Writer
"Welcome to Arts & Lectures" is
the alluring invite offered by the 2003
CSUSM Arts & Lectures series. The
program invites both CSUSM, students
and the local community to encounter
and experience diverse cultural literacy
through a culmination of equally diverse ,
mediums. The series has been around
since the inception of CSUSM in 1989
with the purpose of fostering critical
thought through exposure to diverse
expressions. According to Bonnie Biggs,
the Coordinator for the Arts & Lectures
program, each series is developed and
designed to "reflect the curricular goals
of the faculty" resulting in the university
hosting artists and lecturers who compliment the curriculum and give it a "pulse".

The Front Side-air-tail-whip Reverse
By SEAN CARNE
For The Pride
You are probably sitting there,
looking at this paper, creating
a more confused and distorted
expression than anyone could
imagine. 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

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

bottom of the wave, whip off

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.

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

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

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."

Students joined together to have their
voices heard when they marched to CSUSM
President Karen Haynes' office on November 10, and remained there until they could
see the president. Approximately 24 students waited in the boardroom adjacent
to the president's office and when Haynes
arrived the group presented her with a letter
expressing their concerns.
The letter was presented to Haynes by
Progressive Activist Network (PAN) President, Julie Bennington, and it expressed
frustration regarding Haynes' inaccessibility and lack of support for students.
Students chose to stand quietly around the
President Haynes listens to student
concerns.
VOL. XII NO. 12
As if juggling school, work, homework, and family isn't hard enough,
many CSUSM students also worry
how they'll pay for tuition next
semester.
The financial aid office in Craven
Hall 4204 is set up to help students
getfinancialassistance, but for some
students it actually provides more
headaches than money.
Financial aid paperwork is extensive and once it's complete there is
no guarantee financial aid will be
provided.
If a student is granted financial
aid there is no guarantee the funding
will sustain them until graduation.
"I was supposed to graduate next
December. A month ago I got a letter
from Cal Grant saying this was my
last year on financial aid," said student Diane Gallego.
Gallego, taking 12 units each
semester, has made the dean's list
while working part time to support
her family. In terms of completed
units, she currently stands somewhere between a junior and a senior.
The Cal Grant is only good for four
years, but Gallago has about another
year until graduation.
"I don't know what I'm going to
do next semester," said Gallago.
Augusta Fruzyna has a different problem with financial aid. She
takes advantage of a veteran's grant,
however she lost her grant because
she made too much money at work.

make enough money to live comfortably, but then if I make enough

Campus groups gather for peace
BY HEATHER HOFFMANN
Pride Staff Writer
Peace was celebrated at CSUSM—in spite
of several obstacles—when PAN and the College Democrats hosted the first annual Peace
Picnic on the lawn in front of the library on
November 10.
Student groups such as, College Democrats,
PAN, Woman's Studies Student Association
(WSSA), Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender Alliance (L.G.B.T), and the College
Republicans.all set up tables at the eVent àlòng
with community groups such as Code Pink
and San Diego Coalition of Peace and Justice
to provide students with more information on
ways to promote peace. The groups also provided speakers.
"The picnic was an effort to embrace peace
and equality in our diversity," said Sarah Leonard of PAN. "Between the protest and the election we felt the campus was really divided and
there wasn't a welcoming of diverse opinions.

was scheduled to attend.
Haynes stated that the "circumstances of the forum
President Haynes
changed" switching from
a forum, to a discussion of
an "incident-specific event"
and that is why she could not
attend.
The students said that
Haynes' staff gave them several contradictory reasons why
Haynes wasn't there. They
said that someone representing
Haynes should have attended.
"If you support my experience, then you need to listen to
my experience and that is not
what's happening," said Honey
Folk, student and former ASI
President.
"My concerns are to be concerned about the issues and
safety of students, and to also
protect their rights and protect
the rights of all employees.
[Campus] Police are employees
in the University and I have to
guard against them being prejudged," said Haynes.
Another issue the letter
C 4 i l K I * !trit\0<k
fM

^«iriP*»
NOW
addressed was that students
have a hard time successfully
booking appointments with
the President.
"Students realize that we
don't have to sit back and
take it. We don't have to wait
around for her to decide it's a
good time to meet," said Bennington. "We have valid questions."
The students and Haynes
discussed several ways to fix
the problem, one of which was
a form students can fill out to
help schedule meetings more
effectively. The students and
the Haynes agreed to have a
meeting about how to meet,
and then to meet on the issues.
When the discussion was finished Haynes thanked everyone for sharing before leaving
for another appointment.
"I think what we had to say
was effective in that we were
heard, but not so effective in
the sense that we didn't get
a good answer" said Bennington. "We will definitely follow up."

I don't get funded for school," said Fruzyna.
Having over 300 veterans that attend
CSUSM, and many more eligible for veterans' grants through family members,
Fruzyna isn't the only one who struggles
to balance personal income and qualifying for government aid.
Student Elsie Solis is frustrated with
the process. Despite being financially
independent of her family, she still finds
it difficult to get grants.
"I signed up early but still didn't get
the grant because my parents made too
much money. But I'm 23 and I'm not a
part of [dependent on] them anymore.
But they (financial aid) said until your
24 you're still a part of [dependent on]
them," said Solis.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) considers students
dependants of their families until they
are 24, or married, or are working on
their masters/doctoral, or they have a
child that they support.
"It's not something we get kicks out
of either, it's a Congress thing. Write to
your Congress. They feel it's the family's
responsibility until the student is that
specific age," said Cynthia Silman of the
financial aid office in response to Solis'
concerns.
"If a student feels they have special
circumstances to their dependency level
they can check on the dependency override," said Silman.
Dependency override is determined at
the campus level.
"We need to look at the specific situation. There are only a few grants and
scholarships that are specifically four
years," said Silman in response to student concerns about four-year loans.
Solis said that loans are readily available, citing the fact that the government
gives CSUSM students about, "$22 million a year in loans."
More information about loans, grants
or other financial aid can be found at the
Financial Aid Office website at: http://
www.csusm.edu/finaid/ or at the FAFSA
website: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/.
ing about how there is no racial profiling
going on," said Sayf.
"Yes they quoted me. The comment
I made was that according to the police
officers I talked with, this was not a case
of racial profiling," Jennings said to the
group.
Student Honey Folk asked Jennings if
the university was asking the newspaper
to run a correction.
In response, Jennings said that she
wasn't misquoted.
"It was part of a quote. I did say yes,
this was not...," said Jennings stopping
mid-sentence.
After a brief pause, Jennings reiterated that her quote was based on information she received from the Cal State San
Marcos Police Department.
"The President [Haynes] sent out an
email saying we should not make judgments about what happened without all
the information. You represented to the
Spring

newspaper that there is no problem here.
That is not true," said Sayf.
According to Sayf, who compared student demographic information obtained
from the CSUSM website along with
demographic arrest information obtained
from the CSUSM Police Department
website, "twice the percentage of black
and twice the percentage of Latinos" were
arrested by Campus Police than the percentage of these students on campus.
CSUSM Director of Communications
Rick Moore said that comparing arrest
and demographic data doesn't account for
"a lot of people who come to campus that
are not students."
Several students said that campus visitors were not numerous enough to account
for the statistics.
"The people who read the story are now
getting the impression that his [Williams]
race did not enter into the picture, and we
know that to be false," said Folk.
"And let the record show brothers and
sisters, we will not stand for it any longer,"
added Sayf.
The group left Jennings office.
Outside of Craven Hall Sayf said,
"There is only one way we can all make a
difference and that's together."
On November 11 a group of students
gathered in ACD 402 to write letters to
CSUSM Police Chief Tom Schultheis
demanding an investigation into campus
police practices, and that charges against
Jason Williams be dropped.
Shortly after noon some 30 students
marched from the classroom to the police
department to deliver the letters chanting, "Investigate the campus police. Stop
the harassment. Bring the peace," briefly
along the way. The marchers gathered
single-file outside the police department
and delivered their letters one-by-one to
police dispatcher John Frawley who said
he would niake sure the chief got them.

could come."
The picnic was originally scheduled to
happen before the election, but because
organizers invited congressional candidates to speak, it was seen as political and
too high risk. Risk management asked
the student organizations to obtain special
event insurance (at a cost of about $400)
which they attempted to get, but were
denied because the event was seen as high
risk. The administration then gave the
organizers another option; hire a campus
police officer to guard the event.
"Walls-were put up in front of us when
we tried to plan this event," said Mark
Web of the College Democrats.
"The administration is doing the students on this campus a disservice when
they try to stop student originations from
trying to have a platform to discuss different ideas."
"It sends a message to the students when
we have to have a police officer with a gun
at our peace picnic," said Sarah Leonard.
Rain also delayed the event but Thursday the weather cooperated and the picnic
went on as planned.
There was BBQ to feed hungry students
and plenty of guest speakers all spreading
the same message: peace.
"This is unbelievable, awesome. I am
so excited to see our little university doing

something," said Communication major
Brandi Feston. "I wish more people were
here, this event really opens your eyes."
Francine Busby, former congressional
candidate, spoke about peace and gave
students ideas on how they could become
peacemakers.
"Each one of us is a peacemaker, and
each one of us has to smile at someone
everyday.. .peace is something we have to
work for," said Busby.
Communication major Jason Williams
shared a personal story and then told
students, "We are not here to be closedminded individuals...we as students have
the power to change the country."
Executive Director of the College
Republicans, Nick Bonomi, offered a different perspective when he spoke on peace
as a Republican
JZju^^
"The Republican party fights for peace
too," he said "they just don't go about it
the way you do."
Members of the International Club
spoke and read definitions of peace from
around the world.
"Peace is to live in harmony among differences," read the definition from Argentina.
A1 Howard from the K23 orchestra
preformed spoken word poetry, and Julie
Bennington, PAN's President, sang a song
she wrote.
"I feel learning is just not enough,
learning about peace is a great start, but
what are we going to do after that," said
Heidi Doyle of WSSA. "I am grateful for
PAN and WSSA for getting students to be
activists."

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

If students don't know where to start
looking for an internship that fulfills
their needs, not a problem - students can
receive assistance from Career and Transfer Student Services (CATSS), located at
Craven 4201, in obtaining information and
direction of finding the proper internship
relevant to a student's field of interest,
"If you need help, a career counselor
will gladly help students get situated with
information and explore how to go about
various avenues in finding the proper
internship," said Brenda Dumas, CATSS
employer relations coordinator,
Current and past students of CSUSM
agree that internships give them an advantage over graduates or students looking for
a job.
"There is nothing like hands-on experience and applying what I have learned
at CSUSM with real life situations," said
Teri Renner, human development senior.
"Plus an internship looks fantastic on your
resume."
Randi Delenela, CSUSM sociology
alumnus said, "On my quest for looking
for a job, all employers that I have talked
to want information on my experience. So
I tell them about my duties and responsibilities at my internship. So far, the results
of my job hunt look promising."
The only down side of taking on an
internship is that students have to work
a minimum of 15 hours a week and the
internship must be non-paid to receive
academic credit. Yet, after it is all said and
done, the attractiveness of an internship
may give students that extra umph needed
to impress employers.

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

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

I have always stood by
Karen Haynes side even
when I did not agree with
the way she handled certain
situations. Even while
Michael Moore ridiculed
Karen Haynes on stage I
remember telling her I still
thought she was a great
President. Face it people can
be faced with hard decisions
and sometimes they chose
the wrong path to take. BUT
I can no longer stand by her
side while she ignores the
racial profiling taken place
on our campus by our own
police! I am saddened by
the fact that a President I
stood by could be so blind
and heartless. What has been
happening on this campus is
wrong and the fact that she
can not see what injustice
practices our HORRIBLE
CAMPUS POLICE officers
are committing makes
me question her ability to
preside over this University.
I hope she makes positive
strides to fixes these
injustices that have occurred.
But then again I might be
asking for to much.

"A Christmas Story'1 that will warm your
heart
BY MICHAEL DOLAN
Pride Staff Writer
"You'll shoot your eye out.
You'll shoot your eye out."
This caveat echoes through
out the film "A Christmas
Story." The statement is the
recurring logic that places a
seemingly immovable obstacle
in the path of young Ralphie's
quest to obtain a "Genuine Red
Ryder Carbine Action Two
Hundred Shot Lighting Loader
Range Model Air Rifle" for
Christmas.
The story of Ralphie, his
dream of holding that B.B.
gun and factors that influence
his reality (his parents, his
younger brother, his friends,
the neighborhood bullies and
Santa himself) create a connection with the young as well
as the young at heart. Ralphie
reminds us that the desire for
that one g ift can build to such
fervor that the want becomes
the passion.
Ralphie is undeterred from
pursuing this gift although his
parents are unwilling to entertain it. He fails to convince
his teacher in an essay that he
is deserving of the gift. Even
Santa casts a dark cloud over
Ralphie's desire by repeating
the impeding mantra. _
Mixed in with Ralphie's
hopes are the overtones the
BY KATIE POWERS
Pride Staff Writer
"Buddy the

favorite color?"
" Elf' is the
newest addition
to my holiday
classics
list.
Where else can
you see a f ull
grown, semigood-looking
man wearing
green tights?
The
beginning of " Elf'
has a strangely
familiar claymation feel to
it, but once you
get beyond that
it's definitely
a winner. My
favorite part of " Elf' is also (probably) the stupidest. I love the part
where Buddy goes to work with
his dad. Buddy runs around and
around in the revolving door until
he pukes (how many times have
you so wanted to do that?). And
affect some families during
the holidays: the search for a
Christmas tree, the repercussions of youth profanity and
the struggle to salvage Christmas dinner from jaws of the
neighbor's dogs.
Despite the chaos and opposition, Ralphie's dad comes
through with the gun. And,
true to the warnings, Ralphie
promptly "shoots" his eye out.
The legacy of "A Christmas
Story" is not one of personal
injury. This film represents
how the holidays, although
nostalgic, are often mired with
realities that are not so fond at
the time. From that, we can all
relate.
then there's the part in the office
when Buddy (for no apparent
reason) is sitting in the corner on
top of a stuffed polar bear. Who
comes up with this s tuff? " Elf'

"Christmas
V acation"
a nd the
phrases
that keep
us watching
every year
BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
Instead of reviewing this
awesome film, let's just reminisce the fabulous phrases that
we enjoy every year.
"Merry Christmas! The shitter was full," said Cousin Eddie
while emptying out a septic
tank while wearing a woman's
bathrobe that barely covered
the family jewels and drinking
a beer as well.
"Hallelujah holy shit where's
the Tylenol," yells Clark Griswold after receiving his certificate to the jelly of the month
club.
"Every time Catherine turns
on the microwave, I piss my
pants and forget who I am for
a half an hour," jokes Cousin
Eddie in the living room wearing a white v-neck sweater
with a brown mock turtleneck

Pride Staff Writer
visible underneath.
"Honey, why don't you run
and get the kid's things, and
don't forget the rubber sheets
and the gerbils," said Cousin
Eddie to Catherine after turning up unexpectedly at the
Griswold's.
"It wouldn't be the Christmas season if the stores were
anymore hooter, I mean hotter
than they are...you can't see
the line, can you Russ," said
Clark trying to hit on a young
saleswoman.
And my personal favorite from the yuppie neighbors
next door, "Why is the carpet
wet Todd? I DON'T KNOW
MARGO!"
I
remember
watching
'Scrooged" in the theater with my
Mom and my sister when it first
came out. Ever since, I watch it
every year from Thanksgiving
to New Years at least 10 times.
I can honestly say "Scrooged"
is the best holiday movie ever
made. What makes this movie
a holiday classic is that it takes
a well known Christmas tale
gives it a modern spin and adds
Bill Murray as nasty Mr. Francis
Xavier Cross. Who, by the way,
has no qualms about firing an
employee and cutting the holiday
bonus for his faithful secretary,
all in the name of saving a few
bucks.
My favorite scene is with the
Ghost of Christmas Present who
is dressed like a fairy ballerina
with great big sparkly wings.
She prances around Frank with
her high pitched squeaky voice
and beats the crap out of him.
The
best
thing
about
"Scrooged" is that it teaches us
that the holiday spirit should not
come just once a year. We need
to put a little love in our hearts
throughout the whole year.

movie. Tim Allen becomes
the new Santa after the current Santa accidentally falls
off of his roof. What a great
story idea! For the next 330
days after Santa kicks the
bucket, Allen totally forgets
his holiday obligation to the
entire world and goes about
his merry way. December
rolls around (literally) and I
love watching Allen gain 100
pounds and try to explain to
his doctor why he's put on
so much weight. It must be
all the sweets and milk he's
been eating the past month.
The elves are great. They
are actually little kids
playing elves instead of
"little people" who are
normally cast for those roles.
It's clever, quirky and a
little cheesy, but good clean
holiday fun.
Potty humor for the holidays
When the holiday season comes around,
one reason I get excited is
because Ifinallyget to watch
the shows with bad words and
crude humor that have characters like "Mr. Hanky
the Christmas Poo" as
opposed to the Yogibear specials I was subjected to as a child. Now, instead of
fighting with my little brother over
who gets to light the menorah candles
or sleep on the big couch while we wait
for Santa to come, I can have fun laughing out loud watching funny shows like
"A Very Crappy Christmas."
South Park's Christmas specials with
BY CHRISTINE BALDWIN

Pride Staff Writer
Mr. Hanky are great because Mr. Hanky is
a walking, talking, and crapping piece of
dung. Mr. Hanky visits all of the children in
South Park, despite their religion.
In Season Four of South Park, the audience
finally gets to meet Mr. Hanky's family; his
wife who always has a martini in her hand,
and his three kids.
A Comedy Central interview with Trey
Parker and Matt Stone said that Parker created Mr. Hanky because of an old story his
mom used to tell him to increase the rate of
the potty training process. She used to try
and scare Parker by saying, "if you don't
flush the toilet Mr. Hanky will come out and
get you!"
If that doesn't put you in the holiday spirit,
I don't know what will.

BY JARED DEVORE
Pride Staff Writer
"Halo" players have been
chomping at the bit for more than
a year to play "Halo 2," and their
chance has finally arrived. When
I discovered my roommate had
plans to go to the Game Stop in
San Marcos at 12:00 a.m. Tuesday morning November 9th to pick
up his reserved copy of "Halo 2,"
I was convinced he was out of his
mind. It turns out, I was wrong.
We arrived to a line that spanned
-the entire length of the shopping
center. It was apparent the expectations for this game were enormous.
In fact, the expectations of
the gaming industry continue to
grow. This forces game creators
to pump out new games that are
incomplete or inadequate renditions of dreams. With the holidays quickly approaching, it is no
surprise that "Halo 2 " was finally
released in an attempt to reap the
benefits of the holiday economic
boom. In the defense of Bungie,
the creators of "Halo 2," the long
awaited release of the game has
paid o ff yielding a t computer

graphics masterpiece. I don't
think many people would have
been satisfied with much less.
You can now customize your
characters appearance, play with
a character from the opposition,
and rampage through enemy
forces in the warthog. Picture
your mom's Hummer with a
powerful cannon mounted on
top that decimates other vehicles
with ease. Another attack vessel
that reappears in "Halo 2 " considerably revamped is the ghost.
A combination motorcycle/hovercraft, the ghost now sports a
tuibd boost function similar .to a
nitrous oxide boost on a car. This
feature can be used effectively in
escaping dangerous life or death
situations.
The levels are more challenging and far greater in size than
the original version. The characters are more intelligent, quicker,
and pack far more heat in "Halo
2." The most important, and
exciting upgrade is the ability to
wield two weapons. Now you can
charge the opponent like Rambo
taking no prisoners.
According
to
IGN.com,
Xbox's gaming website, "every
h it of hype "Halo 2 " receives is
deserved, and once you play it,
you'll be pressed to agree." The
hype is real! "Halo 2 " picks up
right where Halo left off, adding
some interesting plot twists. The
most appealing aspect of the
game is the immense carnage
that you control. I am confident
that there is enough fire power in
"Halo 2 " to blow President Bush
right out of office. This game is
a masterful rendition of the original version. A fter playing almost
non-stop, with the exception of
the classes I was forced to attend
last week, I can honestly say, "you
may be inissing class." In fact, I
plan to call in sick to work this
weekend and continue my journey through the seemingly endless virtual worlds in an attempt
to save the human race. The fate
of mankind is in my hands; I am
sure my place of work will understand this perilous dilemma.

In defense of public education
CSUSM s tudents a nd staff r ally t o i nspire v oters
BY JENNA JAUREGUI
DIGITAL MEDIA
MANAGER
Following the March 4 rallies
earlier this year and demonstrations regarding tuition increases
and slashed funding, activists derT^hursday,
Oct.
7 cided to organize a second date
marked
the
most to allow students, teachers, and
X recent Day of Ac- community members to speak
tion for the national campaign out against budget cuts and other
to defend public education. grievances they believe are hurting the public education system
in California and the nation. The
day was planned specifically to
bring awareness to issues surrounding education in light of this
fall's midterm election season.
CSUSM held its own rally in
defense of public education during U-hour in the free speech
plaza. As students gathered for
the event, protest-themed music
was played over loudspeakers to
inspire emotion and unrest. Students were served free pizza and
heard speeches from CSUSM
Student Body President Susana
Figueroa, CSUSM professor Heidi Breuer, and California State
University Employees Union
CSUSM Chapter President Mike
Geek. The microphone was then
open for students at the rally to
come and share their opinions.
Figueroa appealed to her fellow students in her speech, reminding them that they have a
responsibility to hold state leaders accountable for the promises
they make. Students can make a
difference and form a legacy by
choosing to step up and vote. "As
college students, we are often
devalued although we work so
hard for our education," she said.
"Voting is so easy to do—investigating the issues is the hardest
part, but also the most essential."
Breuer opened her speech by
mentioning the millions of dollars in federal stimulus funds that
were recently granted to the UC
and CSU systems and pointing
out that professors are no longer complaining about furlough
days. "It may
seem like everything
is
fine
now,"
she said to
the students,
"but all is
not
good!"
She compared
the
present state
of public education to the
eye of a hurricane. "We
are in the eye
of our storm,
the storm of
public education. We are
in the middle
of a huge attack. ..
the
chaos is coming." Breuer
said that the
most pressing
issue in the
IILIZE
coming elec-
tion is whether education should
be a privilege, privatized so that
only those with money can attend
school, or a right. "Education
doesn't just benefit you, it benefits
the entire community," she said,
"so tell a friend, register to vote,
and go vote in the Nov. election!"

• l or the first time since
| H 2008,
California
J L State University San
Marcos (CSUSM) is accepting applications from transfer and international students
for the Spring 2011 semester.
California politicians made
repeated drastic cuts to the CSU
educational system budget for
many years. Recently, Governor
Schwarzenegger proposed restoring $305 million to the CSU system. If the California legislature
enacts the proposed budget, there
will be a new influx of students
attending CSUSM this Januaiy.
Last year, over 17,000 prospective students applied for enrollment in CSUSM during the
priority-filing period. This statistic was up 22 percent from student applications for the fall 2009
semester. According to official
school statistics, the number of
transfer applicants has increased
48 percent compared to the transfer applicant rate from fall 2009.
CSUSM is only welcoming certain students for spring
2011. The first students to be
admitted will come from local community colleges such as
Palomar College, Mount San
Jacinto College (MSJC), and
MiraCosta College. Students
transferring from the community
colleges must be ready to start
their upper division coursework.
Prospective students should
have . consecutively attended
Palomar, MSJC or MiraCosta
before applying to CSUSM.
Students looking to be readmitted into CSUSM also have
first priority admissions status.
International or foreign exchange students are also allowed to apply for the spring
2 0tl semester. Students from
countries outside the United
States need a valid F1 visa to
be considered for admission.
CSUSM will not receive
students aspiring to accomplish a second bachelor's degree. They will also not be accepting first time freshmen
or lower division applicants.
CSUSM will know how many
transfer students they can afford
to accept after the California education budget is finalized. Therefore, offers
of admission
into CSUSM
will not be
dispatched
immediately.
If students
are not accepted
for
spring 2011,
they
have
two options
for the fate of their applications.
Transfer or international students may use the spring 2011
applications for the prospect of
getting in during fall 2011, or
they may request to have their
applications rescinded and their
money returned to their pockets.
The deadline for transcripts
to be delivered to academic admission is this Friday, Oct. 15.

making it a community effort.
We provide support by creating
a community within which we
can grow as individual writers
while also providing feedback
for and enjoying the work of our
peers. To these ends, we organize
events such as this week's Student Reading Series as weir as
regular writing workshops and
student publications, including
our 'Oh, Cat!' literary magazine."
The CWCW's Student Reading Series will be held on
Thursday, Oct. 14 at 7 p.m. in
Commons 206. This free event
features students reading their
works to a public audience. The
CWCW is not accepting submissions at this time. However,
a second reading series will be
taking place later this semester.

The college survival guide
Roomates 101: c ommunication, cleanliness, a nd c onsideration
BY DEVONNE EDORA
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Fall semester is kicking
into high gear. Our college
years have begun and many
new and different experiences are yet to come. Do
you live in the University
Village Apartments (UVA)
or off-campus housing?
Then there is high chance
that at some point you will
be living with roommates.
Having a roommate is a
big responsibility, filled
with challenges and disagreements. Yet it can also
be a great and rewarding
adventure. So listen up
and take notes, Cougars.
Next time "roomie" issues
come up, remind yourself of these helpful tips.
#1 Communication is
essential. Whether you're
living with friends or not,
being able to talk and communicate openly provides
an honest environment.
Things can be great in the
beginning, but can get ugly
really fast. Make sure to
address any issues right
away. Roommates who
reach a mutual understanding of each other's needs
are able to form better relationships. Brian Dawson, housing director at
UVA, encourages students
to "walk in each other's
shoes," when people come
to college. "All they know
is what they've lived at
home, so everyone has
different routines." Living with roommates isn't
easy, but try to be openminded about each other to
avoid any future conflicts.
#2 Figure out what is
"clean." Everyone grew up
in various types of households. Having spilt oatmeal on the counter might
be considered spotless to
some, but filthy to others.
Discuss with one another
what "cleanliness" means
to each person. Does the
carpet need to be vacuumed once a week
or once a month?
If necessary, come
up with a chore list.
Just make sure everyone participates.
Defining
what
cleanliness means
will greatly reduce
any problems and
and Post-It notes
saying,
"Whose
dishes are these?"
#3 Be considerate. Try to be aware
of each other's lifestyles and values.
Coming to college
places students in unfamiliar places, so being polite
to others can go a long
way. "People need to lower
their expectations for what
the other person is doing,
and to raise their expectations for themselves," advises Dawson. Chances are
some roommates will be
blaring Lil' Wayne through
paper-thin walls. Some will
always bring guests over
(especially when you're
studying). Some will be
coming home at the wee
hours of the morning, waking everyone up five hours
earlier than they need to.
No matter how irritating all
that can be, have respect for
your roommates. You need
to be willing to listen and
receptive to change. Figure out a policy on study
schedules, noise levels,
and privacy. In this way,
it is helpful to see what
everyone agrees on and
eases the living situation.
Handling these issues in
an adult manner is a great
skill that proves to be useful even beyond college.
Be patient and respectful to your roommates. Students should be stressing
about 10 page papers, not
unwashed dishes. Don't
expect to become best
friends, but implementing
these tips can at least open
that up as a possibility.

�J ennum looking t o b ring winning ways across t own
Former Palomar women's basketball coach t o start program at CSUSM
BY MICHAEL RAWSON
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Whfen some people talk
about passion, it might seem
like a cliché or a buzzword.
When Sheri Jennum talks
about passion, you can feel it.
Jennum, the new women's basketball coach, gestures emphatically, explaining how much she
loves her well-lit office, how excited she is to be on the CSUSM
campus, and why she has been
so successful in other positions.
"When it comes to [basketball], I am extremely competitive—it's about having passion."
When you look at her story,
you understand. Jennum has
never been anything but a winner.
She's a member of the Napa High
School hall of fame, once leading
Napa High to a Bay Valley Conference championship. At Fullerton College, she was the Most
Valuable Player of the Southern
California Tournament after an
undefeated season. After transferring to Cai Poly Pomona, she
lead the 1985 team to an NCAA
Division II championship, earning all-tournament team honors.
Her coaching history is no
different. She enjoyed success at several assistant and
head coaching jobs at various
levels before leaving the sport
in 2000 to become a lawyer.
Men's golf finishes
9th in first tournament of fall
But the taste for money and security only lasts for so long when
you love the game like Jennum.
In 2004, she accepted an assistant
job at her Community College
Alma Mater, Fullerton. A year
later she moved on to an assistant
job across town from CSUSM at
Palomar College, where she became the head coach full-time in
2007. Over the last three years, her
teams compiled a record of 74-18,
with an astonishing record in the
Pacific Coast Conference of 40-2.
It is no wonder the administration chose Jennum to lead the
Lady Cougars. Jennum said the
feeling was mutual. "I've had
my eye on the [CSUSM athletic]
program for a long time," she
said, "and it was exciting when
the soccer, softball and baseball
teams got started." When it's
built, the new CSUSM basketball and volleyball arena will
be visible from Jennum's office
window. But as she gazes at the
spot, she notes that it probably
won't be built for "as we understand it at least a year, if not two."
When asked about the possibility of the Cougars playing home games in the Dome
at Palomar College, Jennum almost seems to have not considered the significance of coaching at her old stomping grounds.
My main focus is on day to day
use, on practice sites...but if
[Palomar] will have us, I 'm more
than happy to play anywhere."
Once the first season begins in 2011, will the women's
team play any games on the
same night as the men, as is
traditional in established programs? Jennum isn't sure.
"It's tough to schedule doubleheaders as an independent. [The
Cougars will compete as an NAIA
independent . in 2011.] Teams
don't want to play you in January
or February, because they don't
want to play outside their conference. And it's difficult without a home site. But I have been
talking with [Men's coach] Jim
[Saia] about it, and we'd like to.
I know it's exciting for the fans."
Jennum mentions her focus on
graduation with academic success
and community service. She also
knows Cougar fans expect winning. There's plenty of pressure,
and she'sfinewith it. She recites a
quote by tennis legend Billy Jean
King: "Pressure is privilege."
"I believe that." she said with
a nod. "Because when you are
under pressure, you've put yourself in a situation where you
can win...our first year, we're
going for a championship."

that, about a c ouple other s ites.

Leading the way for the Cougars was Robert Nicanor, who got
his season off to a fantastic start.
Nicanor shot 74 on Tuesday after rounds of 74 and 77 on Monday, giving him a three-round
total of 225, good for 25th place.
Not far behind was sophomore Adam Loran, who tied for

Johnson's h at trick propels CSUSM to 5-1 victory over Chapman
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
Lauren
Johnson's
three
goals in the first 21 minutes
put the game out of reach early, as CSUSM women's soccer cruised to a 5-1 victory at
home over Chapman University.
The #16-ranked Cougars
improve to 6-1-5 on the season. Chapman, a member of
NCAA Division HI, drops to 7-4.
CSUSM came out absolutely
onfireon Saturday, and the team's
first 20 minutes was very likely
the best stretch of soccer that the
home fans have seen this season.
The Cougars got to every loose
ball, won every 50/50 chance,
and played with a tenacity that
overwhelmed their opponent.
As the team has learned this
season though, it's one thing to
dominate play, but it takes something else to translate that into
goals. Today the Cougars did just
that, thanks largely to Johnson.
In thE ninth minute, Taylor Schurman, who was among
the many Cougars that had a
fantastic game, hit a dangerous ball into the box. It ricocheted off the crossbar, and
was eventually poked home by
Johnson to put CSUSM up 1-0.
Not long after, Schurman
once again carried the ball
down the right flank, hitting
another excellent cross into the
box. This time it found Johnson
cleanly, who crushed a shot into
the back of the net to make it 2-0.
Johnson wasted little time
in making it a hat trick - the
first of the season for CSUSM
- taking advantage of a Taylor Ziencina cross and punching it home to make it 3-0.
That would end the first half
scoring, and Chapman came
out with renewed motivation
in the second half, controlling
play for a stretch that result-
ed in a goal by Aimee Evans.
But CSUSM would regain
control and put the contest away
late. In the 71st minute, Ziencina and Breanna Brenton combined for a corner kick goal for
the second straight game, with
Brenton using her height and
aerial skills to get a clean header
off past the Chapman keeper.
And finally, with just 16
seconds left to play, Kelsey
Gunion hit a nice through ball
that found Arielle Cohen, who
•dribbled in one-on-one with
the keeper and slid it by for
her third goal in two games.
Since a two-week mid-season
break, CSUSM has now scored
11 goals in its two games. Prior
to that, the Cougars had scored 3
goals in their previous 6 matches.
The Cougars will be
back in action this Wednesday at San Diego Christian.

Men's soccer returns to action with 2-0 victory over
Soka
BY KYLE TREMBLEY

HHHHHHH
Playing theirfirstgame in front
of the home crowd in three weeks,
Cougar men's soccer looked sharp
on both offense and defense in a
2-0 victory over Soka University.
CSUSM improves to 6-22 on the season. Soka drops
to 7-5. Both teams' records
also benefitted from the recent
decision of #5-ranked Vanguard University to forfeit its
first six games of the season.
Playing in front of the loud
home crowd on Thursday, the
Cougars controlled play from the
opening whistle, not allowing a
single shot while tallying 28 of
their own and putting 12 on net.
Kevin Ernst earned the shutout in
net for CSUSM, with a huge assist
from his midfield and back line,
who were stout for all 90 minutes.
The Cougars wasted little time
shaking off the rust, taking a 1-0
lead in the second minute. Max
Blumenshine played a long ball
behind the defense, and Warren
Ashcroft ran under it and drove
a solid strike past the keeper
and into the roof of the net.
That score would persist
through the first half, before
CSUSM added the clincher early
in the second. In the 60th minute, Jordan Shadeed collected
a ball in the attacking zone, and
dribbled his way around defenders to the side of the net. Shooting from a sharp angle, Shadeed
hit a rocket into the back of
the net to put his team up 2-0
and ultimately finish the game.
CSUSM will be back in
action at San Diego Christian
this
Wednesday.
�C S U S M THEATER PREVIEW: CHELA, A CTOS, A ND A
THEATER FEST HEAT U P THE HOLIDAYS O N CAMPUS
BY JENNA JAUREGUI
DIGITAL MEDIA MANAGER
The theater department at
CSUSM is hard at work preparing for its upcoming productions,
anticipating an exciting semester
of fresh, original performances.
Keeping with CSUSM's celebration of cultural diversity, many of
the productions contain a multicultural point of view—exploring
the adversity and achievements
of Hispanic culture. "Given the
mounting anti-immigrant propaganda now being felt by many of
Hispanic descent, this is a time to
bring theatre of consciousness to
the public," Visual and Performing Arts professor Marcos Martinez said of the upcoming shows.
•"As the premier educational institution in North County, CSUSM is
taking the lead in offering theatre
that speaks to issues affecting our
community and our region." The
two main performances this fall
are "Chela," a one-woman show
by comedienne/actress Dulce
Maria Solis, and "Actos," a collection of satirical one-act plays
by renowned director/playwright/
social rights activist Luis Valdez.
"Chela" is a biographical performance that tells the poignant
true story of a young Mexican
woman and the shocking challenges she faces as an immigrant
trapped in a loveless marriage,
struggling to regain her sexuality.
Performed and written by CSUSM
theater alumnus and rising actress
Dulce Maria Solis, this inspiring
production is based on the life of
Solis's own mother. Its powerful
messages are laced with comedy and sorrow, culminating in a
captivating, emotional narrative.
"Actos" portrays the identity struggle, psychological
trauma, and abuse endured by
Mexican-American farmworkers.
The production is based on Valdez's experiences with migrant
workers when he joined Cesar
Chavez in his efforts to educate
and organize farmworkers in
the 1960s. Shown through a satirical lens, these short sketches
use bits of humor to illuminate
powerful social and political critique. Known as "the father of
Chicano theatre in the United
States," Luis Valdez is renowned
for his work in Hollywood
whose credits include the movies "La Bamba" and "Zoot Suit."
Come December, the theater department will host a student festival of plays and per-
formances written and acted
entirely by CSUSM students.
Theater student Tricia Bowen
said the plays are "so funny...
it's a great chance to support
your friends and peers, and see
some really entertaining shows."
The student festival includes a
monologue festival, and a play
festival. The p lay festival will
feature two one-act plays written
by students from last semester's
play and screenwriting class—
"Just Passing Through" by Matt
Chewiwie and "The Overnights"
by Samantha Carr—and a capstone project by graduating theater/VPA major Mary Relator,
titled "S-t-a-u-n-c-h Women"—
a cabaret-style show portraying
iconic, fictional, and historical
women and the issues they face.

C oming t o town: T he San D iego A sian Film Festival
BY MELA PANTOVICH
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Running from Oct. 21 to Oct.
28, The 11th Annual San Diego
Asian Film Festival is one of the
largest Asian and Asian American
cinema events in North America.
The festival first got its start in
2000 at the University of San
Diego, and since has grown into
an event that has highlighted and
honored over 1,000 independent
films from all over the world. Taking place in Mission Valley at the
Hazard Center UltraStar Cinema
(7510 Hazard Center Drive, San
Diego), this year's festival will
include over 140 movie screenings from 20 different countries,
and will be attended by over 100
filmmakers and actors, including
John Cho ("Harold and Kumar"
and "Star Trek"), Danny Pudi
("Community"), Ellen Wong
("Scott Pilgrim VS The World"),
and Daniel Dae Kim ("Lost").
With panels, workshops, live
music, and the opportunity to
meet filmmakers, The San Diego
Asian Film Festival is the perfect
chance for you to be adventurous
and see some films that maybe
you wouldn't normally try out.
Kicking off the festival will
be the West Coast premiere of
the ambitious martial arts film
"Legend of the Fist," by filmmaker Andrew Lau. Set during
the Second Sino-Japanese War,
it is a story of vengeance and resistance, displaying a dynamic
visual style and incredible martial arts. Closing the festival is
the romantic comedy "Au Revoir
Taipei," written and directed by
Arvin Chen. Spanning just one
night, it tells the story of Kai and
Susie as they find excitement
(including an Asian Four Tops
cover band) and love together
in Taipei. Produced by Wim
Wenders ("Wings of Desire"),
"Au Revoir Taipei" promises to
be the perfect ending of what is
surer to be an amazing festival.
Currently tickets in packs of
four ($34) and ten ($86) can be
purchased online at www.sdaff.
org, and starting Oct. 19, tickets
can be bought at the Mission Valley UltraStar theater's box office.
There are many perks of buying
your tickets online, including
cheaper costs and a special line
that allows you inside before
those who bought at the box office. If you're looking for a morebudget friendly alternative to this
event, allfilmsin the festival playing weekdays at 4 p.m. are free.

�HOT O FF THE REEL: R.E.D.
by mila p a n t o vich
pride s t a f f w r i t e r
A movie about retired CIA
agents may not seem appealing to a younger generation,
but "Red" certainly succeeds in
proving any naysayers wrong.
Filled with a high-caliber cast,
copious amounts of gunfire, fantastic action sequences, and perfectly timed jokes, "Red" manages to set itself apart from any
other film at the theater right
now, making it the perfect film
to catch with a group of friends.
Frank Moses is a CIA blackops retiree living a life of calm
repetition. He fills his days with
a routine that includes watching
after an avocado pit and finding
excuses to call Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker), a telephone operator
who escapes her dull life through
reading trashy romance novels.
However, when a group of heavily armed assassins shoots their
way into his house, Frank quickly
discovers that he, and all of the
agents he worked with, are targets
due to their knowledge of top-secret information. After snatching
Sarah, who was in danger due to
her contact with him, Frank begins reassembling his old team,
Joe (Morgan Freeman), Marvin
(John Malkovich), and Victoria
(Helen Mirren). Together, the
team makes their way to an ex-
citing climax, with a government
cover-up involving the Vice President (Julian McMahon), which
will leave a smile on your face.
It's incredibly hard to pull off a
good action comedy without giving the audience the overwhelming feeling that you're trying too
hard. Thankfully, Robert Schwentke has an incredible cast that
revel in their characters. Bruce
Willis plays a ruthless killer who
is, as Mirren's character explains,
"gooey on the inside." It's a role
that Willis has done countless
times but it works because delivering fun action scenes (including
a scene in which he calmly steps
out of a car that's doing a 360
degree spin) is what Wilis does
best. x While Willis is good, his
fellow retired black-ops agents
make the movie truly worth seeing. Playing a cancer patient living in a retirement home, Morgan
Freeman is disappointingly underused but uses his screen time
with a charming and effortless
ease. Playing a paranoid conspiracy theorist, John Malkovich only
gets more fascinating and hypnotizing with age. Even when barely
in the frame, he steals nearly every scene that he is in, reveling
in Marvin's neurosis and entertaining with merely the raise of
an eyebrow. Matching Malkovich for laughs is Helen Mirren,
who is absolutely stunning as the
polished and lethal weapon's expert, Victoria. Mirren effortlessly
proves that, at 65 years old, she is
far sexier behind a high-powered
machine gun than any young starlet could ever be. Also delivering
great performances are MaryLouise Parker, Karl Urban as
the conflicted agent tasked with
killing the group, Richard Dreyfuss, Brian Cox, and an adored
appearance by Ernest Borgnine.
While a PG-13 rating is often a
detriment to action films, rest assured that the rating hasn't dulled
the explosive fun one bit. "Red"
renders the low rating unnoticeable by employing excellent ac. tion scenes and a plethora of gunfire. With bodies being blown to
bits, Schwentke turned to stylized
sequences without resorting to
unnecessary moments of excessive blood. For fans of the original
graphic novel of the same name
by Warren Ellis and Cully Hammer, don't expect a faithful adaptation. After all, the Frank of the
book would never be called "gooey." However, as a standalone action film, "Red" makes the right'
choice in letting its incredible cast
have fun with their roles, which
in turn makes the film a complete
joy to watch. With its predictability and bloated length that drags
in the middle, "Red" doesn't reinvent the action comedy genre
by any means. Nevertheless, by
providing constant laughs and
delivering scenes like Malkovich's attack on a woman in the
airport and Mirren's command
of a rocket launcher, "Red" will
probably be the most fun you've
had in a movie theater in a while.

There is an old Spanish saying
that says, "Between soup and love,
the first is better." Although some
may not take their food preferences
to such extremesf there is no denying the warm pleasure of a bowl of
fragrant, steaming soup on a chilly
autumn evening. Soup can serve as
a light lunch or, when paired with a
sandwich or pasta dish, a filling dinner. It may be easy to break out the
can opener and heat some pre-packaged chowder or broth, but with only
a few more minutes of preparation,
you can enjoy a bowl of homemade
soup custom designed to suit your
taste. A little time on the stove and
your soup will be ready for slurping.
Full of nutritious ingredients and vitamins,
soups are a scrumptious way to stave off winter cold and flu season. There is a reason why
people recommend eating chicken soup when
you get sick! Here is a recipe to get you started.
Chicken Tortilla Soup
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup chopped cooked chicken
Vi avocado, diced
VA cup fresh cilantro leaves
1 can diced tomatoes
1 chopped poblano pepper *
Vegetable or chicken stock
Handful of corn tortilla chips
Shredded cheese
Pour all ingredients except the stock
and chips into a pot and heat on the stove
until warmed. Add stock until desired
consistency. Crumble tortilla chips into
a bowl and ladle soup over the top. Add
shredded cheese over the top and enjoy!
The avocados and black beans in this soup
are nutritional powerhouses. CSUSM health
educator Cathy Nguyen said, "Good sources
of nutrients found in avocados include: beta
carotene, magnesium, Vitamin E, and potassium to name a few." Regarding the health
benefits of black beans, she said, "according
to a research study from Michigan State University in 2003, black beans have the most
antioxidant activity of all flavonoids when
compared to 12 other varieties of dry beans.
Black beans are also an excellent source of dietary fiber and help with digestive disorders."
This soup proves that eating healthy can
be delicious! Ciao, my soup chefs!

S treet a rt t hrive/ in

PRIDE STAFF WRITER
If you've been to downtown
San Diego within the past two
months, you've probably noticed
the more recent insurgence of
inspired street art to hit our urban landscape. If you have yet
to make a trip to the downtown
area, take a day off and make the
short drive as quickly as possible.
On July 18, 2010, the "Museum
of Contemporary Art" opened its
most recent art exhibition, "Viva
la Revolución: A Dialogue with
the Urban Landscape" within the
Jacobs Building on Kettner Boulevard. Curated by Pedro Alonzo
and MCASD Associate Curator Lucía Sanromán, the exhibit
features twenty of the most well
known street artists from ten different countries (including the
likes of Shepard Fairey, Banksy,
VHILS, and Barry McGee). The
exhibit succeeds in opening dialogue to the nature of street art
and its place in society by removing the art from its urban context
and placing it within the white
walls of a museum. The risk was
well taken and incredibly successful due to the sheer weight
and overwhelming beauty of
the pieces shown. With thoughtprovoking installations, the exhibit succeeds in integrating the
chaos of urban artwork with the
pristine, and often outdated, setting of an art museum. One of
the largest pieces in the exhibit
is by Swoon, the only female artist featured in the exhibit. The
enormous installation utilizes
recycled materials, such as wood
slabs and glass bottles, to assemble a tower of forgotten waste
that gives attention to industrialization and the humanity that is
lost in the process. Also featured
in the exhibit is a stunning use of
crumbling urban walls as art by
VHILS, Stephan Doitschinoff's
thought-provoking religious alter, and reactionary prints by
the infamous Banksy (the largest collection of his prints to be
shown at once). Open until Jan.
2, 2011, the exhibit bravely embraces the unique and risky nature of the ever-changing street
art scene, allowing the movement the respect it deserves from
the community of art museums.
Unique and entirely fitting
Of the exhibit's theme, "Viva la
Revolución" doesn't limit itself
to an indoor setting and includes
public commissions throughout
downtown San Diego, as well as
un-commissioned works on locations secured by the museum. Included in the public displays is a
photomural by JR and large-scale
murals by OS Gemeos, Stephan
Doitschinoff, Shepard Fairey, Invader, and Barry McGee. One can
either hit the exhibit first, picking
up a street map there (also available at http://wwwjncasandiego.
org) to engage in their art treasure
hunt, or take two days to explore
the two very different art viewing experiences. Many works are
within walking distance of the exhibit, two are on the same block,
but there are many gorgeous pieces that one would need a car to
see, especially Shepard Fairey's
beautiful piece in South Park and
Stephen Doitschinoff's comparison of Jesus to the inhuman neg-
ligence of livestock that appears
off of 16th Street in downtown.
What the scavenger hunt manages to do, within our clean streets,
is create an awareness of all the
surrounding art that one may
never notice. Instead of traveling
through San Diego streets blindly,
the public displays cause people
to engage with the constant presence of art. While some may go
completely unrealized, like Invader's small-scale work with
tiles that don't appear on the map,
each one causes people to appreciate areas that they may never
have noticed before, giving them
new landmarks to know their city
by and opening a surging dialogue regarding the nature, power, and necessity to the growing
of culture that urban art brings.

Students protest event
BY HEATHER HOFFMANN
Pride Staff Writer
Approximately 150 students
and community members filled
the street corner at Via De La
Valle and Jimmy Durante Boulevard in Del Mar to protest
before the appearance of filmmaker Michael Moore.
CSUSM College Republicans
organized the event and developed a website to get community members involved. The
website stated the purpose of the
protest was to let people know,
"enough is enough, we are tired
of Michael Moore's rhetoric and
we are going to stand up against
him and support our Government, President, capitalism,
troops, and foreign policy."
The protesters came from
all over San Diego County to
express their disapproval of this
stop of Moore's "Slacker Uprising Tour." They held signs,
some of which read "hippies
go home, honk for bush, no flip
flops in the white house, and no
'Moore' lies." Some protesters
also chanted "4 more years" at
passing motorists.
College Republicans Nick
Bonomi and Ashley Stuart lightened the mood of the demonstration by dressing as President
Bush and as a GOP elephant
respectively.
"We're focusing on keeping
positive," said Eileen Liston,
external vice chair of the Col-
An unexpected downpour Monday
morning could not prevent the Graduate and Professional School Fair
from going on as planned.
"We didn't expect the rain," said
Susan Buck-Allen from Career and
Transfer Student Services, coordinator of the fair. "So far, everything
has worked out great."
The Director of Career and Transfer Services Sandy Punch was
pleased with the turnout and the
quick improvisation.
"We had a mad rush to bring
tables in from the rain," said Punch.
The booths that were set up in the
Kellogg Library Terrace area had
to be moved under the cover of the
library's overhang.
The fair can not be rescheduled
because it is part of a circuit that
travels to other college campuses.
"We have no choice of the date,"
said Punch. "We were lucky we got
in (the circuit) early."
The fair is held once a year in the
fall. It includes representatives from
different graduate schools as well as
a workshop for students to hopes to
remove some of the mystique of post
baccalaureate education.
"The workshop helps in dispelling the myths of grad school," said
Punch. Other topics at the workshop included how to apply to grad
school, financial aid and the experience of being a first generation grad
student.
Schools from as far away as New
York and Australia were represented
at the fair.
"Australian universities offer
many of the same programs as U.S.
schools," said Eddy Dharmadji of
Macquarie University near Sydney.
"And of course, there isfinancialaid
available."
Despite the inclement weather,
more than half of the 65 schools
expected to attend were present.

�Students
discuss
debate
BY SARAH COLESON
Pride Staff Writer
Around 25 students assembled
in Clark Field House on Wednesday, October 13 to watch President
George W. Bush and Senator John
Kerry put forward their positions on
Social Security, immigration, minimum wage law and the war in Iraq
at the final presidential debate.
While watching the candidates,
the student panelists, Democrats
and Republicans alike, jotted down
notes to prepare themselves for the
discussion that followed. A student
panel consisting of three Bush supporters (Nick Bonomi, Stephen
Puetz and Matthew Curren) as well
as three panelists who supported
Kerry (Didi Lund, Dustin Lacasse
and John Baden) talked about key
issues regarding the presidential
election. Dr. Scott Greenwood, a
professor of political science on
campus, acted as moderator of the
panel.
Each member was allocated four
minutes to share their reaction to
the debate, their favorite debate
moments as well as key issues that
they felt were absent from the candidates' statements.
"The only time President Bush
mentioned women in his speech, it
was in reference to their reproductive organs," s^id Lund, president of
the Women's Studies Student Association Didi Lund.
Lund raised other key women's
issues that she felt were overlooked
in the debate.
"When you look at the debate, John
Kerry's policies are very appealing," said Bonomi, executive director of College Republicans. Bonomi
also shared his personal experiences
watching Kerry campaign in person
months before and pointed out what
he saw as a change in the senators'
stance on key issues. He went on to
say that some of Kerry's actual proposals were "180 degrees opposite"
of what he stated in the debate.
After the panelists made their
statements, Greenwood opened the
floor for questions from the audience. Issues such as abortion, gay
marriage, and separation of church
and state were brought up by students and panel members responded
to the audience questions.
"If the reason for denying gay
people the right to get married is
to protect the sanctity of marriage,
then why don't we have a limit on
the number of divorces a person
can have?" said Baden, president of
the University Foreign Aid Organization, in response to a question
from an audience member regarding
President Bush's proposal of a constitutional amendment to prohibit
gay marriage.
The discussion that ensued was
indicative of the divided partisan
affiliations of the panel members.
Despite the partisan wrangling, the
ultimate goal of the evening was to
give students the chance to actively
engage in a dialogue regarding
political issues with their peers.
EVENT, from page 1
"What started out as a negative situation, really turned into an overwhelmingly
positive experience" said Yamout about the
attempted cancellation of the event. "I've
been at Cal State San Marcos for almost four
years now and I'll tell you I've never seen the
students more excited and more invigorated
by any issue ever. Conservatives, liberals
everybody in between has been so riled up
the past few weeks, and it's been inspiring
to me, and it's been inspiring to the community."
Yamout thanked donors Herring Broadcasting and Mr. and Mrs. Joe Fernandez for
their financial contributions, then let Moore
take the stage.
"I know it's been a rough road for the students," said Moore. "The whole thing was
set up and because of pressure on the administration (of CSUSM) our right to speak and
your right to listen was taken from us."
Moore remarked how the original plan
was for a small event of 1200-1500 people.
Crediting what he called the "Republican,
conservative attitude of trying to prohibit
free speech in San Diego County," the event
grew almost ten times.
"I think we need to do something else here
so that the administration of Cal State San
Marcos never ever even thinks of doing this
again to any speaker of any political party,"
said Moore.
Moore announced that the proceeds of the
event would go toward a scholarship/grant
program at Cal State San Marcos.
"Each year for the next four years we will
hand out a $5,000
grant or scholarship
to the one student who
has fought and stood
up the most to the
administration of Cal
State San Marcos,"
said Moore. Moore
said that students

should nominate other Joan Baez and Tom Morello.
Morello took the stage and rallied the crowd
students for the scholarship/grant by submitting a one page essay about "just how much with statements in favor of peace, human
hell this one student raised, and how suc- rights, workers' rights and women's rights.
Morello also sang a song called "House
cessful they were."
In his speech Moore joked with the crowd Gone Up in Flames" about citizen inaction
as he spewed harsh criticisms of Presi- over poor governmental policy.
Michael Moore read several letters from
dent Bush, the war in Iraq, censorship and
CSUSM President Karen Haynes. He said soldiers in Iraq who were disillusioned by the

Republicans. "Michael Moore is picking
slackers because they are not going to be the
ones who educate themselves."
The motorists in the area were just as
divided as the protesters and the Moore supporters.
Horns honked frequently in support while
other cars held up signs supporting Kerry
or middle fingers. When people yelled at
the protestors, several would respond with
"Bush hater!"
One woman motorist at a red light was
clearly unhappy with the protest. She stuck
her arm out the window and displayed her
middle finger to the protestors. As the
woman waited for the light, she sat there with
herfingerup glaring at the protestors. When
a protestor in the crosswalk approached her
car, she put her car in reverse, and drove
right at him. The man quickly jumped out of
the way and was not harmed.

Michael Moore protesters rally outside of the Del Mar Fairgrounds
Unusually long traffic lights made for a
lengthy wait at the crosswalks, forcing those
who parked off site to deal with the protestors. This gave both sides a chance to voice
their opinions face to face. At times things
became heated but never amounted to any-
thing more than angry words.
"I felt a little uncomfortable, it was weird
being in the middle of a protest, but everyone
was being really nice," said CSUSM senior
DanaEricson.

Students pay $75 a semester to Student Health Services (SHS),
but many students don't know what services are included for
their money.
In addition to the general medical services, vaccinations and
pharmacy, student health services now o ffers counseling.
The counseling department helps about 350 students a semester, that's about 5 percent of the CSUSM student body. The counseling center helps students deal with issues of stress, depression, relationship issues as well as roommate issues j ust to name
a few.
Currently, the counseling staff is relatively small. It consists of
two fulltime psychologists and three Ph.D. level interns.

purses are a must have and can be found
everywhere. Metallic bags especially
gold are also the hot item of this season.
Now with your bag, you need the perfect pumps to match.
The best pump will be anything sweet
and chic. Pumps adorned with a prim
bow, embellished with f ur, snake skin or
bejeweled with a brooch are all sizzling
attributes to your fabulous shoes.
Jackets are an important item for fall's
chilly weather. Be sure to pick the right
ones. Your jacket should be elegant tweed,
one with showy sequins or trimmed with
f ur. Fur is in but don't worry you don't
have to kill a bunny to snatch the look.
Faux far works great as well.
Remember, these jackets are versatile;
pair the jacket up with a matching skirt,
jeans, over a sexy frock or with cropped
pants. Let the special piece (your jacket)
stand out by keeping the accessories
simple in this case.
As for men, this year's fall fashion
is sporty yet classy and old school yet
fresh.
Vintage inspired items f rom the 70's
are back again with a whole new twist.
Down vests have been spotted as the
new trend. These vests can be worn over
button down shirts and jackets. They
keep you warm and are comfortable as
well. These down vests are hip in any
color: bright orange, green, yellow, basic
black, brown or khaki will all do.
Argyle sweaters are an essential for
men. The diamonds are everywhere; they
are on crewnecks, cardigans and sweater
vests. Layering one of these is the biggest
style this season.
Pinstriped pants are also the " it"
look. These pants are perfect for casual
or formal occasions. Don't be afraid to
pair up the pin-stripe pants with f unky
striped shirts and argyle sweaters. Navy
and gray, gray and brown, or brown and
orange are all worthy color combinations
when it comes to pinstriped pants.
This fall's fashion for men and women

�Perfecting mediocrity
D on t try too hard, remember C = Degree
BY MICHELLE ROBINSON
For The Pride
T he only challenge I've ever stepped up
to was a fat burger and conquering a mean
new dance. While these are definitely not
adequate deterrents in life, they can still
be classified as challenges, can't they?
Academically speaking, numbers are my
kryptonite. The bright-eyed spitfire I typically can be will suddenly morph into a
sweating, babbling mess as I struggle to
carry an invisible number that doesn't even
go there. Though, I did meet that challenge
and pass college math, never to return to
it again.
I've been a mediocre student all of my
life. I never minded this fact nor did I envy
the students who did the whole "inquisitive youngster" routine. A fter all, I was
busy trying to pry the remote control out
of my brother's hand. And while the overachieving science students got ribbons for
watching a potato grow sprouts, I wrote
love poems to various crushes, made f un
of teachers with chalk on their bums, and
practiced my Oscar acceptance speech in
the bathroom mirror. I never made honor
roll, and it's been decided that I shan't
make the Dean's list.
Upon this revelation, I made myself comfortable. For it was here, in this middle of
nowhere as a student, that I would become
perfect. It's here, in the plush cushioning
of mediocrity, where I will strive. Perhaps
"striving" for a C sounds ludicrous, and it
is. That's because I don't mean to strive for
a C. My aim is to idle towards one; meander about the university, and let a C attach
itself to my student body.
Jenny Foster, a communications major,
says that her parents think she's an excellent student. When I asked her if she
really was, she looked at me as if I was
a giant talking shoe. "No way" she said.
Although Jenny says she's not the greatest of students, she is in fact graduating
this year. My pool of mediocrity is getting
crowded.
There are those students, however, that
were most likely the potato sprout watchers. Over the summer, I took Spanish 201
with a liberal arts major. During a test, she
began to hyperventilate, claw at her face
and desk, whimper and finally vomit a
little bit in her mouth. Afterwards, when
I asked her why, she simply said, " I am an
A student. I'm just not good at Spanish. I
have to pass." The sunshine that I chose
to dispense? "Dude, all you need is a C !"
A fter which I extended my right hand for
the underachiever hi-five.
You see if and when I decide to go to
class, I sit in the back. I eat my banana,
and I am the first to ask one of three key
phrases that epitomizes the mediocrity of
my studiousness: "Is there anything due?"
"What did we do?" and "Is there anything
new?" These are imperative questions to
ensure that my position as a perfect mediocre student will not change. Right down
the middle, kids.
I'm not saying college is easy, or that
it should be, mind you. What I am saying
is that although I should, I simply do not
apply myself. I do indeed have potential
for straight A's, but meeting my potential
for straight A's, why, that's a challenge,
isn't it? If I go and do that, it would blow
my perfecting mediocrity theory. I would
then be excelling at academics and the bar
would be raised. I'd meet that, and then the

bar would rise yet again. Before you know
it, I'd be in the Olympics or the next Bobby
Fisher, playing chess and showing off my
great big brain. No thank you, I've got my
special skill. Since floating, coasting, or
gliding through college can be a skill if
done correctly, the challenge of teetering
just right, between the "real" world and
the college life is like an art. I'm almost
a geisha.

because of 9/11, then America
fails to thrive, and that means
fewer of those wonderful entitlement programs my left-leaning
comrades are so fond of, less aid
to other countries, and so on. It's
a downward spiral we can't afford
to see repeated any time soon.
So weigh your facts. Get
informed. Listen to what everybody has to say. Read between

don't look a damn thing like my

Now, you should know kindred spirits of cynicism, that
our writers are not paid for their
troubles; they have jobs and
classes to attend, and some even
claim to have families. If that
weren't enough, the time budget
they're usually given for the stories is two, maybe three days.
My colon takes longer to pass
an apple.
So for all my harsh wit on
their articles, I always stand i n
amazement that our staffers get
their no-wage j obs done at all,
(Don't tell 'em I said that.)
While on the subject of harsh
wit, our Mr, Milo w as lambasted
by Mr. Bryan Watkins for his
article on the d raft b ill
But before you get his words,
you get mine.

things have changed since I was

deserves at least a proper spell
check. If that's not incentive
enough, keep in mind these few
and proud are trained to shoot
and 'blow *@#$ u p/ J ust an
observation.
Now, onto Mr. Watkins'
words. Bryan writes, "This
article is riddled with misinformation that if taken for face
value can undermine the legislative process as well as confuse
the students of California State
University San M arcos/' Well,
I'd hate to think the Pride might
"confuse the students," and we
definitely don't want the Pride to
"undermine the legislative pro-
cess," Whatever shall we do?
I comply with Mr. Watkins
final point in his letter, " I strongly
urge you to research your facts
before printing t hem" To say
the least, duh! On h is point
about the confusion and undermining that might take place, I
think both Mr, Watkins' letter
and Mr. Milo's article share the
same probs.
There seems to b e a hint of
' false dilemma' and an itty-bitty
bit of assumptions phrased as
facts. Having read Mr. Milo's
article, I realized that " Draft legislation alive in senate" was as
misleading a header, as 'athletic
build' tends to be in Personals.
By the conclusion of the article
my worries concerning a draft
were put to rest by all the quotes
that suggested otherwise. I get
the same catharsis, when I get to
the ass-end of TV news and find
that the 'thing I don't know that
might kill me,' has the same odds
as m y winning an argument with
my better half.
I agree the use of such sensationalistic journalism leaves
a NutraSweet taste on my palette. The Pride should avoid
those 'read this or s uffer' headers. On the other hand, I doubt
anyone would have read ' Draft
legislation a possible, maybe,
not really, well sorta something
they're not really thinking about
in senate.'
Mr. Milo did start his article
o ff with all the icing, but after
chewing upon it, I discovered it
was a fruitcake. Same goes for
Mr. Watkins. " Confuse the students," and "undermine the legislative process" are empty calories to swallow. As for facts, the
d raft bill is a dead horse, and Ms.
Milo (the addressee of Mr. Watkins' letter) pees standing up.
Actually, I 'm assuming the p ee
thing. But if my facts are wrong,
'Ms. Milo' should consider work
as a bearded lady.
A nd that concludes this f un
filled lambaste upon lambasting.
Don't forget to vote if you're
able.
There it is.

Dropping off the kids
Bathroom manners do count
BY POLLY
CHAROENKWANCHAI
Pride Staff Writer
Have
you
ever
"dropped off
the kids?"
Or made a
"deposit to
the b ank?"
Have
you
built any log cabins lately? Perhaps you aren't well versed in
bathroom euphemisms, but these
events usually occur because of
bad Chinese food or an unwise
choice to have ice cream and
Cheetos for lunch. Whatever the
case may be, people like me usually find it difficult to use public
bathrooms.
I am an occasional germaphobe
with performance anxiety. (Note
to self: Must sanitize hands with
anti-bacterial soap a fter using the
computer lab.)
Due to my heightened fear of
dirt and all things dirty, I take the
necessary precautions to ensure
that my adventures in the public
restrooms are as clean and safe as
possible. Yes, I admit it: I triple
seat for maximum coverage. I am
confident with the idea that no
germs are penetrating through
the fortress of seat covers so that I
am allowed to do my duty (no pun
intended) with peace of mind. I do
provide one warning when dealing with multiple covers: It takes
more than one flush to get those
suckers down. This might cause
your fellow bathroom enthusiasts
to wonder why you've flushed so
many times and what you ate to
create such a flurry of flushes.
The automatic toilets we have
on campus are terrific for people
like me, if they only served to
work when we needed them to.
For instance, it is unpleasant
to be the victim of a "drive-by
flushing." This type of crime i s
committed when the bathroom
patron is not quite done with
business, but becomes momen-

covers
tarily disrupted by automatic
and unwanted flushing. There is
also the "delayed flushing" which
occurs when the patron waits for
10 seconds or more before the
toilet realizes that it must now
dispose its contents. I suggest
people use this time to reflect.
These events must not be misconstrued with the "random flushing." This happens when there
are many people in the restroom
(perhaps people who will recognize you later in the day). As
the name suggests, many people
produce a random and spontaneous flush in order to distract other
people from any turbulent sounds
coming f rom your direction. This
is detectable when the number of
flushes being produced is higher
than the amount of people in the
bathroom.
Lastly, there is the "conditional flushing." This takes the
most amount of mental commitment and is not recommended for
emergency situations. The conditional flushes are based on the
experiments of Pavlov and his
salivating dogs. It requires that
you do your business in sync with
other flushing toilets as to mask
the thunderous noise you have
produced. This move takes careful planning and coordination by
listening for the sound of people
entering the restroom as well as
timing your "main event."
These techniques apply under
the assumption that y our "kids"
are going to be loud, if you catch
what I mean. They also imply
that you are suffering f rom
stage fright. For people who
are hounded by this everyday
dilemma, I suggest that you:
1. Change your diet
2. Learn which bathrooms
carry the least traffic flow (hint:
there's one that's virtually unused
in the
ACD building)
3. Accept that Mother Nature is
a loud force of wind (last of the
puns) that's just meant to be
heard.
If all else fails, just prairie-dog
it.

T HE PRIDE
Dear Editor,
I 'm writing this
letter to let my fellow
students know about a
bad experience I had at
a College Republicans/
Progressive Activists
Network screening of
the last presidential
debate. After the debate
a pre-chosen panel of six
student speakers from
both sides (republicans
and democrats/liberals)
were allowed four minutes
each to speak about what
they thought about the
performance of their
particular candidate. As
each student took his/
her turn, one republican
mentioned that he was
disappointed that the
audience turn out wasn't
as good as they had hoped.
There were about 20
students in the audience
and many were friends
or club members of the
student panel. After all of
the panel members finished
their time to speak, the
discussion was opened
to the audience. After
the first topic was ended,
I brought up a topic that
is very important to me.
I directed my question
to the republican panel
members. As I was
exchanging ideas with one
panel member, another
member was huffing and
puffing, shaking his head
in disagreement, and even
decided to laugh at me
while I was talking. He
then took the microphone
and began voicing his
ideas. As the discussion
continued, I mentioned
reading some information
from a book required
for my Mass Media and
Society class with Professor
FrediAvalos. This panel
member arrogantly stated
that the book was written
by communist and that it
should be ignored. After
he mentioned that, his
College Republican friends
began attacking the book
also. The republicans then
began attacking my ideas
in a four-on-one fashion.
I had also mentioned that
the arrogant panel member
should tell Professor
Avalos that the book was
written by communist and
he arrogantly replied that
he would tell her. One of
his republican friends had
also mentioned that the
book had no references,
which is completely false
(I will be glad to provide
the book information to
anyone interested). After
a few more minutes of
republicans against me, the
mediator inteijected and
stated that we should not
discuss one issue for too
long and also corrected the
arrogant panel member as
he made false accusations
during his speaking on the
issue. It turns out that he
didn't know as much about
the topic as he thought he
did! I was so surprised
that my thoughts and
ideas on that topic were
treated so aggressively. I
always assumed that in
a democracy it is vital
to exchange ideas in a
respectful manner. In
order to understand the
issues we must hear both
sides and it seems to me
that the republicans are
only interested in their
side. How an arrogant,
self righteous student
was chosen for a panel is
beyond me. Not to mention
that I am sure that I will
never attend any forums
by these groups ever again.
I think that the reason so
few students attend these
meetings might be because
of the undemocratic
environment and I will be
sure to recommend NOT
going to these forums
for that reason. I would
like to say that the other
panel members did a good
job and did treat me with
respect. But it only takes
a few to ruin the fun. I am
in no way angry at anyone
for not agreeing with me.
It's when people begin
talking down to me that the
problem arises. So students
beware, if you don't agree
with the norm at one of
these functions, you may
be in for a "republicans vs.

Letter to the Editor:
This week students will
vote on a referendum
concerning the Early
Learning Center (ELC), the
childcare facility owned
by our student government
(ASI). So far, the ASI
has supplied one-sided
information for funding
concerning the issue.
Student leaders have not
presented their constituents
with the data necessary for
making sound decisions
on this important issue.
We see posters hanging
prominently in ASI office
windows and prominent
displays occupying the
center tables at the Dome
with sales pitches for
funding the center.
Why don't student
government leaders present
honest information? Over
the years, the student body
has subsidized the ELC
with losses totaling about
a million dollars (Student
leaders have never released
exact figures). Now we're
being asked to increase our
student fees by $10 to make
up for projected shortages.
That adds up to over
$140,000 annually.
The ASI's and The Pride
both championed Michael
Moore's recent appearance
as a victory of free speech.
But Moore's message was
more than just to speak
freely—it was to question
that which doesn't make
sense. Yet The Pride ran a
story stating that the ELC
would make 97 % of its
costs through sources other
than student fees. What is
the ELC's total operating
budget if the student body's
$140,000 is only 3% of its
funding?
I am not arguing
against childcare, I am
arguing against our
student government
representatives' failure
to keep their constituents
informed. The 48
students who benefit from
subsidized childcare every
semester are certainly
deserving, but their
fellow students are just as
deserving and at the very
least, we deserve the right
to be properly informed
about voting issues. It's
conceivable that one of
us might come up with an
alternative to the ASI's
current all or nothing
proposal.

Dear Editor,
I 'm sure you all know but
in case you don't October
18th-21st are the dates
for the voting for the
Childcare Services Fee
Referendum to keep the
Early Learning Center
open. The Early Learning
Center is CSUSM's answer
for childcare for student
parents.
I know there are many of
you out there who would
like to vote no because
you don't want to pay for
something you are not
going to use. I understand
that, however many of us
pay for fees here we don't
use, books we don't read,
a parking structure we
will never see. This ten
dollars is at least going
to a humanitarian cause:
the education of children.
The Early Learning Center
enables many parents the
ability to continue their
education to provide a
better life for their children,
provides childcare to
CSUSM faculty & the
community, as well as
provides internships,
employment opportunities
and more. It is a wonderful
program. As you could
guess, I am a student
parent; my daughter
Madison age three has
attended the "school" as
she calls it, for a little over
a year and she loves it. In
that time, she has become
potty trained, learned to
ride a tricycle, can count
to twenty, is recognizing
numbers, is learning to
write her name, and is
learning valuable social
skills. She would have met
these milestones eventually
but I know that they have
been met sooner and with
more understanding with
the love and support of
the ELC staff behind her. I
really hope students realize
that this is not about ten
more little dollars (it's only
two or three Starbucks©),
but it's about the big
picture and as^cheesy as it
sounds, children are our
future.
The children who attend
the center might be only
between the ages of 2
and 5 but they still care
about their school. If the
vote doesn't pass the ELC
will be forced to close its
doors. How awful would
that be for this to be these
children's first educational
experience; a school they
have been so comfortable
in and have grown to
love being closed because
CSUSM couldn't fit it in
their budget. Please do
the right thing for these
children, please protect
their school, please protect
their teacher's jobs, please
vote yes and encourage
others to do so.

�M O S D e f : The New Danger
BY JASON ENCABO "TheNew Danger"
Pride Staff Writer
is now among u s and
Mos Def is most
definitely bringing
something new t o
the table. Maintaining his success as a
rapper/actor, Mos
Def has been featured in numerous films ("Italian Job"),
music videos (Alicia Keys — "You Don't
Know My Name") and of course songs
(Kanye West - "Two Words"), leaving fans
without a solo album since his 2002 release
of "Black On Both Sides." Mos Def now
re-enters the hip hop scene with a highly
anticipated new album.
Throughout "The New Danger," Mos Def
experiments with a mixture of elements of
rock, soul and certainly hip hop. He combines these elements to deliver the tradi-
What
Ü
tional Mos Def style, along with a new sense
of maturity. He often breaks the conventional pattern of verses and choruses placed
throughout a song and formulates a songstructure of his own. I had trouble determining if some songs were actually songs,
or if they were j ust long instrumentals or
interludes. But after listening to the album
in its entirety, I couldn't help but love it.
"The New Danger" provides a very diverse
assortment of songs, satisfying listeners of
many genres. This album also thoroughly
addresses the live aspect of music, bringing together a sound resembling artists like
The Roots and Rage Against The Machine,
all while maintaining the true sound of hip
hop. Mos Def produced the album with
help f rom Kanye West and several others
to resemble various styles of music. "The
New Danger" is for the open-minded, I definitely recommend it.

�I'm glad these guys are on my team
South Park
creators Matt
Stone and Trey
Parker take
on the world
with puppets
instead of
paper cutouts or
cartoons
BY PHOENIX LINDGREN
Pride Staff Writer
Sex, violence, foul language...
these aren't your parents' puppets.
The South Park guys, Trey
Parker and Matt Stone, bring us
another sterling piece of social
satire, this time cloaked in vomit.
"Team America: World Police"
is not for the faint of heart (or
mind), but is for anyone interested in broadening their world
view beyond that of "socialist
weasel" Michael Moore (hey,
I'm just quoting the film here,
don't get your thong in a bunch
and start firing off emails to the
ombudsman). But more to the
point, this film is for anyone
who pees their pants at watching gratuitous puppet vomiting,
gratuitous violence by puppets
on puppets, puppets speaking
fake Arabic that sounds like your
8year old nephew talking gibberish and a puppet sex scene
that will send you rolling in the
aisle (while peeing your pants)
if you ever participated in that
quintessentially American childhood experience of manipulating Barbie and G. I. Joe to make
sweet sweet love.
"Team America: World Police"
is about a super-patriotic, elite
group of American crime-fight-
Photos courtesy of Paramount Pictures
ers who chase down and wipe
out terrorists all over the globe.
Parker and Stone's political leaning should be apparent from
their treatment of Moore and
Film Actors Guild members
Alec Baldwin, Susan Sarandon,
Martin Sheen, Sean Penn, et al.,
(just in case you missed Parker
and Stone's 2001 sitcom "That's
My Bush!"), but as usual they
don't let our side of the aisle off
the hook, either: Team America
goes after it's objectives without a
twinge of remorse over collateral
damage (though trust me, you'll
be laughing at that, too), and the
voice of I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E.
- a supercomputer that provides
the team its information - is provided by none other than multiple-personality radio comedian
Phil Hendrie (KFI-AM 640,
weeknights 7-10 p.m., if you're
not in oirthe joke, you're part of
it, so listen in sometime).
The choice to use puppets is
brilliant: you can do things with
a puppet (or more properly, a
marionette) that just wouldn't
work with the flat paper characters of South Park (though in
an odd twist of fate, the puppets
can't seem to walk any better
This film is for
anyone who
pees their pants
at watching
gratuitous puppet
vomiting
than Kyle or Stan). If you forced
me to find fault with this genius
piece of work, I would probably
pick on the soundtrack: I played
the "South Park: Bigger, Longer,
Uncut" soundtrack in my car
for at least a year after that film
debuted, and my friends and I
still break out in a nice rendition
of "Uncle F**ka," "Kyle's Mom's
a B**ch," or "It's
Easy, MMMkay"
every now and
then.
Theatergoers left this film
singing the anthem
"America, F**k Yeah,"
and the soundtrack definitely works, but "Team
America: World Police"
no musical (and I loves a good
musical).
Parker and Stone
have said they aren't
out to influence
the election, but
I still think you
should run don't
walk to your local
Cineplex and see
this film before
you vote (just be
sure to check your sensitivity and
political correctness at the door).
After all we are what we are. God
bless America. F**k yeah!

The new
executive
raises
Two weeks a fter the
approved raises, CSU
Trustee's decision
remains controversial
BY BEN ROFFEE
Pride Staff Writer
The California Faculty Association,
with the backing of state government officials and students, has officially mounted
its campaign against the compensation
practices of Chancellor Reed and the Cal
State University Administration.
While own President Haynes is among
those executives that recently received a
pay raise, she is not the target of any of the
CFA's criticism, unlike many other CSU
presidents.
Citing fraudulent spending on compensation for executives as well as unreliable data to j ustify pay raises, the CFA,
Senator Yee, Assemblyman Portantino,
and students plan to convene at the State
Capitol to urge Governor Schwarzenegger
to sign A.B. 1430 and S.B. 190 into law,
legislation that will considerably reform
current executive compensation policy in
the CSU.
The recent criticism f rom the CFA
moved forward the issue of executive
compensation into t he center of the CSU

(Top left) In support of a national student walk-out for the Jena 6, students protest in front
of University Hall in the free speech zone. (Above) Students get signatures for a petition
demanding the release of the Jena 6.
As racial tension in America continues
to build, students on campus voiced their
opinions on the issue of racism at a protest on campus held Monday, Oct. 1.
This protest was in accordance with a
national student walk out to support the
Jena 6 of Jena, L a. The protest's purpose
was to raise awareness and get individuals to sign a petition to t he governor of
Louisiana demanding the freedom of the
Jena 6.
In the town of Jena, La., with a population of less than 3,000, the whole story
began with an incident regarding a tree.
The most common version of the story
is that an A frican American student
requested permission to sit under an oak
tree where white students usually congregated. On the morning a fter he sat there,
t hree nooses were found hanging f rom a
tree, a symbol for the Ku Klux Klan.
According to alternative news sources,
including an article carried by K FMB
Channel 8, several Jena school administrators say that the tree was never strictly
used by Caucasian students, and there

ASI and Women's Center sponsor University Police Rape Aggression Defense
BY PAMELA CASTILLO
Pride Staff Writer
The Rape Aggression Defense System
r eturns to CSUSM this October. ASI and
the Women's Center are sponsoring the
first twenty students that RSVP, and there
is no cost for r eturning students.
The program focuses on empowering
women, and prepares them to b e aware of
their surroundings. R.A.D. System's objective is " to develop and enhance the options
of self defense, so they may become viable
considerations to t he woman who is
attacked."
This course for women spans over 4 sessions: October 9, 11, 16, 18. Each session
r uns f rom 4 p.m.-7 p.m. This semester's
instructors are Officer McLean, Officer
Panza, CSO rep. Casey Burns, Student
Health rep. Cathy Nguyen, and CSUSM
Foundation rep. Sarah Derho.
Officer McLean explained, "We teach
concepts as tools for women to put into
their toolbox. We o ffer them choices,
should they ever be faced with an assault
situation."
According to R.A.D Systems (http://
www.rad-systems.com), over 250,000
women have taken this course. Lawrence
N. Nadeau founded the program in 1989,
and since then the program has grown to
be the largest organization of its kind.
A s Officer Panza explained, CSUSM
has offered the course since the summer
of 1996. Instructors have taught the course
to students, teachers and faculty here, as
well at other institutions.
CSUSM graduate student Lissa Lim took
the course in 2004. Sharing her experience, Lissa explains that she learned to be
more assertive. " I learned a lot and gained
confidence in my ability to defend myself.
It was great! Each woman learned that it
doesn't matter if you're big or small. We
were all able to use what we had learned,
successfully." Lissa also described the
simulations at the end of the course in
which, instructors wearing padded suits
would act out attack scenarios while students practiced defending themselves.
The course emphasizes awareness, prevention, and basic defense techniques.
Officer McLean stated, "we teach individuals to heighten their awareness level." J

and CSUSM students throughout the week, over the weekend
THE PRIDE
of $29, 775 from the Board of
Trustees despite "a resounding
vote of no confidence from the
faculty (78% voted "no confidence"), a student petition for
no confidence in the president,
and revelations that he has used
his position to help hunters shoot
endangered species in Africa."
Similarly, President of Sonoma
State, Ruben Arminana, got a
$28,113 raise in spite of a "no
confidence vote" vote by threequarters of the faculty.
Fresno State University President, John Welty, recipient of a
$35,011 raise, received his raise
just after his school lost a pivotal
gender discrimination lawsuit,
costing Fresno State $5.85 million.
The report also accuses the CSU
Administration of "golden parachute" deals, which involves generously compensating departed
administrators even after they
stop working, otherwise known
as "no show jobs".
Former CSU Monterey Bay
President left his job in 2005 for
a six-figure job at UNESCO and
was left on the CSU payroll for
a year after his departure, earning $157,932 for literally no work.
Even after executive compensation
reforms, "retiring CSU Dominguez Hills President James Lyons
received a check for $103,460 on
his way to a new job in Maryland"
according to CFA's report.
The CFA also attacked the CSU
executive compensation policy
from a different angle, identifying discrepancies in the salary
comparison study that suggested
a 46% salary lag for CSU executives. This study, kndwn now
as the Mercer study, formed the
basis for Chancellor Reed's proposal at the last Board of Trustees meeting, a proposal that ultimately resulted in the latest round
of executive pay raises.
The CFA, with the help of
Assemblyman Anthony Portantino, recently called for the CSU to
disclose the entire Mercer report.
They also released a report critical of the parts of the study that
are public, claiming, "at least three
issues raise serious questions about
the conclusions drawn by Mercer
and acted upon by CSU officials."
Among these issues, the report
cites some factors not calculated
in the Mercer study, including
the monthly $1,000 car allowance
and the $50,000-$60,000 yearly
housing allowance which is more
than some CSU faculty salaries.
This evidence leads the CFA and
others to question thé accuracy of
the perceived salary lag.
This report also identifies the
unnecessary confidentiality ofthe
report, which the CSU Administration and Mercer identify as
"trade secrets". Meanwhile, the
CFA and Assemblyman Portantino maintain, "compensation
surveys should be transparent,
not proprietary." Assemblyman
Portantino said, "it is absolutely
absurd that a public institution
refuses to provide information to
the public they are serving and I
am calling on them to, once and
for all, release the entire report."
The Chancellor's O ffice has
not o fficially responded to the
latest reports and criticisms,
but he has maintained his support of the data found in the
Mercer study.

of deliberation. The verdict has
since been overturned by a court
of appeals, which stated that he
should never have been tried as

A police r eport was never

and t he students in question
received p unishment t hrough
the school's j udiciary system,
but were not expelled. According t o several news sources,
some members of the c ommunity agree with the school's
s uperintendent that the nooses
were j ust a p rank.
Reactions throughout the
country have been varied. Over
20,000 people marched in Jena to
protest racial injustice.
Knowledge of the situation
in Jena, and response to it, had
remained small here on campus
until quite recently.

The Escondido City Council

overturned in the courts after
two million dollars were spent on

an announcement appeared on
the inside doors of the UVA stating that the alleged ban on Harry
Potter was a hoax. According to
UVA staff, the announcement of
the ban was designed to ignite
student interest in a program on
banning books and censorship.
According to Mike Sapp, treasurer of the Resident Hall Council, "It was a hoax just to get
people interested; because nothing else worked... it had been
planned before school started."
Freshman David McFarlane, a
UVA resident, said, "It's defi-
nitely a way to get attention,
especially the way they made the
letter look official. But I'm sure it
pissed some people off."
Censorship is a fairly solemn
subject. In this case, it spells out
an effective advertising opportunity for the UVA.

�Chargers lose
t hird s traight
BY TIM MOORE
Pride Staff Writer
Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to your
1-3 San Diego Chargers.
The Chargers needed to set things
straight Sunday. Coming off of two tough
losses on the road, a home match-up
against a mediocre Kansas City Chiefs
team was supposed breathe fife into the
struggling Chargers, and give fans something to cheer about.
Qualcomm Stadium was buzzing with
anticipation prior to Sunday's start. The
support was greeted as early as the Chargers posted the first ten points of the
game. With an early Nate Kaeding field
goal and an impressive LaDainian Tomlinson rushing touchdown, made possible
by a Philip Rivers pass to Wide Receiver,
Vincent Jackson for 39 yards.
The Chiefs got on the board early in the
second with a 21-yard field goal by Dave
Rayner.
With 6:55 left in the second, Nate Kaeding kicked season best, 51-yard field goal,
to improve the Chargers lead to 13-3.
Kaeding struck again at the end of the
second quarter with yet another field goal,
this time for 38 yards.
With Kaeding's field goal, the Chargers
took a 10 point lead into half time, appeasing fans until Kansas City struck hard in
the third quarter.
Up to date
SOCCER*^
RESULTS*
Just minutes after Chiefs kicker, Dave
Rayner kicked a 41-yard field goal, Chiefs
quarterback, Damon Huard passed to tight
end, Tony Gonzalez for a 51 yard touchdown, tying the game up at 16-16.
The Chiefs took the lead with 11:46 left
in the fourth quarter, as Huard passed to
rookie wide receiver, Dwayne Bowe, for
51 yards and the touchdown.
Philip Rivers cracked under pressure
with seven minutes to go in the game,
giving up a fumble that was recovered by
rookie cornerback, Tyron Brackenridge
for a 50 yard defensive touchdown.
The Chargers failed to mount a comeback in the final minutes of the game,
making the final score Chiefs 30, Chargers 16.
The loss pushed the Chargers to a
record of 1-3, and left fans questioning
the legitimacy of their new head coach,
Norv Turner. Fans went as far as to chant
"MAR-TY! MAR-TY! MAR-TY!" late in
the game, in reference to former coach,
Marty Schottenheimer, who was fired
shortly after last season.
Schottenheimer led the Chargers to an
NFL best 14-2 record last season, but was
shown the door after a series of disagreements with Chargers general manager
A.J. Smith.
The Chargers look to get back on the right
track next Sunday, as they face the Denver
Broncos, in Denver, at 1:15p.m. on CBS.

Carlsbad coast offers wine tasting as a c heap alternative to ¿the b ar h opping scene
- BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER
Pride Staff Writer
I do not think of myself
as much of a wine connoisI seur. Although I do enjoy
wine I am more interested in hanging out with
friends and enjoying the experience.
When
my
friend asked me
a few weeks ago
to try.a wine tasting in downtown
Carlsbad
I
was suspicious. In my opinion,
Carlsbad represents a spot for a
few pints at the pub rather than a
cultured wine tasting.
In order to appease my friend
and try something new I
went anyway.
What surprised
me most was
how unpretentious the experience was. I
always imagined wine tasting to correspond with words like;
complex, smoky yet fruity, and
appealing.
My friend took me to
Witch Creek Winery on
Grand Avenue and Pacific
Coast Highway. The comical man behind the bar was
cheerful and unassuming.
He created a welcoming
atmosphere for the knowledgeable wine drinker and
novice alike. He offered
descriptions along with a recipe
for every bottle we purchased.
The wine selection wàs predominately red although there
were a few whites selected, along
with one cider.
Walking inside
the winery was
like being transported toNorthern California.

The

flooring added an
earthy atmosphere.
Witch Creek makes their own
wines and is a surprisingly f un
and inexpensive experience with
friends. A tasting costs five dollars and comes with a custom wine
glass printed with a black cat on the
front. I was so impressed with the
relaxed atmosphere that I decided
to try another Carlsbad
winery.

Upon entering the winery, we
felt an immediately warm and
relaxed setting. The back of the
store was lined with a selection
of various wines and gifts, while
the periphery wall was lined with
domestic and imported beers.
Leading out to the back patio was
the bar surrounded with tables
and chairs thai created an appealing atmosphere. The back patio
was open and included a fountain
that transported the clientele to a
restaurant in the South of France.
The Wine Spot offered a variety of tasting options. Fifteen
dollars gave us a selection of six
themed wines and six dollars for
three house wines
and
three
dollars
gave
us a choice of three select beers.
The winery also offered pairings
of cheese and BBQ with the fifteen-dollar tasting.
A woman behind the bar
offered us the selections of tastings and gave an explanation for
each wine. The winery also provided a tasting list to make notes
for future reference.
The ambiance was equally
approachable for seasoned wine
tasters as well as beginners.
For a quick getaway on a student budget I recojnmend a trip
to the coast of Carlsbad and try a
tasting. You may find a love for
wine you never knew you had,
or just enjoy the atmosphere with
friends.

�CSUSM's Oaxaca student
organization offers students
a sense of belonging
BY JESSICA GONZALES
Pride Staff Writer
Oaxaca, a state in the southern end of Mexico, has a rich
and unique culture unlike any
other. And according to Yesenia Diaz, president of the
Oaxaca Student Organization
(OSO) here on campus, it is
their mission to share it within
the community.
"We do more focusing on
our culture than advocating,"
she said. "We want to celebrate
our traditions."
The idea started from Carmelino Cruz, a '05 CSUSM
alum and friend of Diaz, and
in September of last year, the
Student Life and Leadership
Offices approved the organization. Now a year later, the
group has approximately 15
active members as well as a
handful of supporters here on
campus.
The OSO seeks to provide
students of Oaxacan origin with
encouragement and a sense of
unity in pursuing their college
educations and participating in
the community as well as inviting others to learn about Oaxacan customs and traditions.
Ildeberto Ojeda, who is a
freshman here at CSUSM and
member of the OSO, is an Oaxacan native and saw the opportunity in joining the OSO.
"It's a community that
encourages pursuing education
and opening doors and inviting
others to join as well," he said
The OSO holds cultural
events and takes part in the
Hispanic festivities much
like other Latino groups such
as M.E.Ch.A and the Ballet
Folklórico Tierra Caliente.
Their first event was in collaboration with Main St. Oceanside that celebrated Dia de los
Muertos in October of 2006
and proved to be a success in
getting the group more public
recognition. Other celebrations
include the celebration of the
anniversary of the Mexican
Revolution of 1910 on November 20th as well as holidays that
relate to the Oaxacan culture
like Guelaguetza and the birthday of Benito Juarez who was
a President of Mexico and a
native from Oaxaca.
"Everyone is welcome to
join," said Diaz. "We want to
keep our traditions and celebrate them on campus and share
them within the community."
The OSO meets on Thursdays at 5:30 p.m. in the Library
in room 2413 and welcomes
anyone interested in joining.

Amazonmp3 offers better quality sound for a cheaper price
On September 25, Amazon.

Pride Staff Writer
com, one of America's leading
e-commerce websites announced
the sale of Digital Rights Management (DRM)-free MP3s for the
same price, and cheaper than the
heavy hitters in the digital music
market; most notably iTunes.
iTunes, along with the majority
of other digital music providers
implement a tactic deemed necessary by many of the major record
labels, called Digital Rights Management, or more casually, DRM.
DRM is a method of copy protection that defends against the unauthorized duplication of a file. The
most infamous implementation
is that of the iTunes Music Store.
iTunes uses MPEG-4 AAC DRM
encoding that locks files into the
iTunes player itself, and disallows
users to play tracks purchased in
the iTunes Music Store on any
portable device other than Apple's
own iPod. There are simple workarounds (i.e. burning the purchased tracks to a CD-R and reimporting), but none are as elementary as simply being able to
freely move the files around.
Amazon, who is among the
e-commerce elite and one of
the first major companies to
sell goods online, has the right
vision on the sale of digital
music. The masses have been

dating
BYTORIA SAVEY
Pride Staff Writer
Dating is a rite of passage. You
know how I can tell? Because it
involves a whole lot of aesthetic
preparation and is usually quite
p ainful. Oh, and because my
grandmother thinks it's hilarious.
Yeah, that's the whole checklist,
so we're good to go. And so you
know in advance, anything I use
as an example has either happened to me or a close friend. I'm
here to prepare you for the real
world, and it's rough.
Here's what used to take place
in the Savey household. I take a
shower. I shave my legs, because
you never know. I get dressed,
put on some make up, try to fix
my hobo haircut, and go have
coffee/dinner/wrist
breaking
skating incident.
But no more. A fter the 14th
guy who stared at me blankly
because he didn't understand my
jokes, I've got a new plan, that
I've already implemented with
moderate success. First of all,
make it lunch. Then you don't
have to worry about two horrific
possibilities: being stuck with a
loser face all night OR home by
8pm and stuck watching a madefor-TV movie while your grandmother laughs at you. Lunch is a
deciding ground for whether an
individual is worth post-5 p.m.
hours. There's some quality TV
on this fall and you don't want
to agree to miss it until you're
sure. And by sure, I mean you've
already made it through lunch
without him mentioning his ex
obsessively, or finding out that he
has a collection of Beanie Babies.
Yeah, they were cute. W HEN I
WAS 10.
Second, I no longer get dressed
and put on make up. I pick my
battle gear and put on my war
paint. Yes, dating was adorable
and innocent in high school and
maybe, if he was a real looker,
you held hands by the end of the
night. Now, you could end up
with a guy who whips it out in the
middle of Wii Golf and stares at
you expectantly.
Last but not least, be c areful
with the hair. I personally recommend making it as large as possible. If they're intimidated by
the plumage, then you will have
gotten rid of another one who
possesses the spine of a jelly fish.
I personally use a p unk rock crest
for the first date. It has a subtle,
"You wanna play size? Mine's
bigger," feeling about it, even if
it's j ust hair.
And for the love of all that is
holy: Do. Not. Go. Skating.
BY DAVID CHURCH
Pride Staff Writer
On March 20, six guys
with nothing better to do than
make predictions about this
season voiced their opinions.
These six guys were Joshua
Sandoval, Jeremy Albers,
David Church, Paul Baimbridge, Mike Millburn and
Kyle Trembley.
Now that the season is over,
it is time to see how everyone
did as well as make my predictions for the postseason.
I'm going to start with the
Easy Pick Award. Sandoval,
Albers and I all predicted the
obvious, Jake Peavy, for winning the "Cy Young" award.
Peavy, as expected, carried
the Padres to the playoffs as
well as leads the league in
wins, ERA and strikeouts.
Peavy is most likely going to
miss out of the M VP because
he is not an everyday player,
but his batting stats should be
considered, as he had key hits
for his team when the rest of
the team w as lagging.
The "Good Call" award
goes to Trembley, who chose
the Cleveland Indians to be
the surprise of the season. The
Indians were able to bounce
back to form this season a fter
failing to make the playoffs since
2001. The biggest surprise of
the Indians was their battling the
Boston Red Sox for best record
headed into the final weekend.
The "What-Were-You-Thinking" award goes to everyone in
the National League and American League M VP's.
Prince
Fielder and Alex Rodriquez
should both walk away with all
the first place votes. Making our
predictions about Albert Pujols,
Ryan Howard, David Ortiz and
Vladimir Guerrero look terrible.
The " Guts" award goes to
Albers, and I because we're the
only two not to pick Johan Santana for the "AL Cy Young"
award. Although Santana will
be in the r unning for the award, I
don't see how,he will walk away
with it. Albers' pick of C.C.
Sabathia is looking good with
Sabathia 5th in ERA and strikeouts and tied for 2nd in wins. My
pick of John Lackey is also looking good despite a September
slump. Lackey still leads the A L
in ERA, tied with Sabathia in
wins and is 10th in strikeouts.
But with the playoffs beginning, it's time to make a few more
predictions.
In the A L, I believe that t he
New York Yankees will remain
hot and w alk away f rom t he
Division Series in six g ames
over t he I ndians. I w ill stick
with my original prediction and
have t he L os Angeles A ngels of
A naheim finally b eat the Red
Sox with Lackey out-pitching
Josh Beckett in both g ames t o
w in t he series 4-1. T he Angels
will continue t o succeed against
the Yankees and will walk t o t he
World Series.
In t he N L, I feel that the Chicago Cubs have more to prove
than the young Arizona Diamondbacks, and will win the series in
five games. I am going to go
against my preseason prediction
of the New York Mets w inning
it all. I believe that the Padres
will out-pitch the Mets hitting,
and advance in five games. Then
we will see the Billy Goat C urse
go into play and watch M addux
and Peavy dominate the Cubs to
advance to the World Series.
A s much as I don't want to say
this, if the Angels do play the
Padres, I do expect the Angels
to r un all over the Padres. The
Angels will walk with the trophy
when it is all said and done, and
Chone Figgins will be crowned
the MVP.
All comments can be sent to
me at churc009@csusm.edu or

Nature, friendship and individualism cross borders and trek across thousands of miles in new stirring film
BY BEN ROFFEE
Pride Staff Writer
Even though countless movies come
out every year, some good and others not,
rarely do we encounter those profound and
brilliant movies that inspire us to change
the way we look at the world around us.
This month, audiences will finally be able
to see one such film. Based on a true story,
"Into the Wild" is Sean Penn's film adaptation of a book by the same name written
by novelist Jon Krakauer.
"Into the Wild" is about the real life
adventures of Christopher McCandless
(played masterfully and intuitively by
Emile Hirsch), a 1990 Emory University
graduate who donated his entire savings
of $24,000 to OXFAM and left his life
and family behind to journey across North
America into Alaska. Having assumed
the alias "Alexander Supertramp," Alex
meanders impulsively across the U.S. and
even into Mexico* ultimately ending up in
Alaska,
Hirsh depicts the whimsical and freespirited nature of Alex with unrivaled honesty, and through his portrayal, endears
the audience, who comes to understand
Alex's reverence for the beauty of the wild.
Hirsch's portrayal is genuine as he adapts
to the changes Alex undergoes within the
story. The entire story matures as Alex
discovers himself and comes to understand what joy is, capturing the message
of Christopher McCandless' story.
However, it is not the depiction of Alex
alone that warrants "Into the Wild" such
praise. Do not be mistaken in thinking
that this film is only about man's escape
to nature. The heart of the film connects
Image courtesy tif Paramount Vintage

desert.
humanity with nature in a dynamic way,
emphasizing the importance of both relationships as components of happiness.
Sean Penn impressively develops the
complexity of Alex's character by striking an important balance between Alex's
adoration of nature and the relationships
he develops with the people he encounters
along the way.
The cinematography and photography
provide a majestic backdrop for Alex's
travels, generating a sanctuary for Alex's
escape from his dysfunctional family, the
material fixations of contemporary America, and ritualistic living. His encounters
in the wild are captivating and moving.

Pride Staff Writer
Beginning 12 p.m. on Oct.
2, free tickets to local theater
performances across San Diego
County will be available thanks
in part to the Theater Communication Group's third annual Free
Night of Theater program.
The Theater Communication
Group (TCG) is an organization
that helps promote live theater in
the community. Their mission is
to introduce theater to the general public, especially to those
not normally drawn to the arts.
In 2005, TCG teamed up with the
Association of Performing Arts
Service Organizations to create
"The Free Night of Theater" program. This year, 25 to 30 communities will be participating in the
program. That is up from the 16
communities that participated in
2006.
There are free tickets available for 14 productions in San
Diego County. Anyone interested
can reserve tickets by going to
www.freenightoftheater.net. The
website also includes all the productions available, their descriptions, and their venues.
The Christian Youth Theater
(CYT) for Kids at Mission Hills
Theatre in San Marcos will participate in the program.
"This is our first time
participating in the program and we are looking forward to its success. CYT offers wholesome entertainment for the
entire family," said Cathie
Stanner, Managing Director of CYT. The theater
will present 'Seussical', a
musical based oil the childhood stories of Dr. Seuss.
The production -will take
place at the CYT Theater
in San Marcos on Oct. 26
at 7 p.m..
Some other productions are:
"The Turn of the Screw", "MUERTOS: A Day of the Dead Play", and
"Cadenza: Mozart's Last Years"
in San Diego. Other participating
cities include Chula Vista, Solana
Beach, Escondido, and El Cajon.
College students are one of
the groups targeted by the Free
Night of Theater program. Live
theater does not typically draw
in the young crowd but with free
ticket offerhope is that
fact will
soon begin
to
fade.
Some product i o ns
are great
for the entire
family. Others
involve scandal and murder.
Some are timeless classics while
others promise a good laugh. A
night at the theater could also
make for a romantic date - she
doesn't need to know the tickets were free. And, if that isn't
enough of a motivation, many
professors offer extra credit that
involves writing reviews for live
performances. Any of these programs would be perfect for just

quietly. Thus, places serving alcohol became
known as speakeasies. Music
and dancing flourished in the underground scene.
The packaging catches the eye with sleek
and sophisticated colors and designs. The
cardboard container, holding six 12 ounce
brown tinted glass beer bottles, depicts a
couple decked out in flashy clothes entering what is most likely a speakeasy during
Prohibition. A simple dark city skyline fills
the rest of the available space.
The bottles themselves have a pair of
white eyes that are striking. The single set
of eyes are placed on the upper portion of
the bottle. The big brother eyes appear to be
watching the consumer of the ale as most
people probably felt during Prohibition.
The dark bottles are capped with bold
white caps with the brewery's name written across the top. The caps contain an ale
with a 6.1 percent alcohol by volume.
The American style amber ale pours
smooth with a half inch thick head. The
ale has a pleasant aroma similar to that of
a garden on an early Sunday morning. It
shocks the mouth first with a bold mint like
taste and finishes relatively calm.

Speakeasy Ales and Lagers brews Prohibition Ale in San Francisco, California. Steve
Bruce and Forest Gray founded the brewery
in 1997. They originally operated with a 1,000
barrels per year system. Within one years
time, the brewery tripled production in 1998.
In 2000, the brewery began to bottle their
brews for retail. This created a need for a
larger facility and in 2001, the brewery
moved to a larger building and doubled their
capacity once again. The company remains
independently owned and operated.
The 18th Amendment of the United
States Constitution brought about Prohibition. Prohibition of alcohol, commonly
known as the Dry Law, lasted from 1920
to 1933. There were approximately 1,300

Tom's Famil] Restaurant
BY BREANNA CAMPOS
Pride Staff Writer
As we all know being college students,
the image of eating a home-cooked
meal with your family every evening
around six, is now as far away from you
as Egypt is from the United States. Most
of us now eat the infamous Top Ramen
or, if you decide to get a little crazy, you
might just splurge for fast food.
Tom's Family Fun Restaurant #22
is located on San Marcos Boulevard,
right across the street from San Marcos
Edwards Cinema.
Once again CSUSM students luck out
with another great restaurant located
qlpse tq the university. Depending pn
h \pgruyou are, there a r^SiallFto
large meals ranging frdfti $3.99 to $8.99.
Tom's menu has a lot of variety ranging
from Mexican cuisine to the all-American burger. What interested me the most
about this restaurant is the inside dining
area. It has the old setting of a 1950's
dinner, but with a modern twist.
In old fashioned restaurants, the waiter
or waitress would come to you, but at
Tom's you order at the front. To me, that
is better, so when you are all stuffed, you
don't have to worry about the bill.
Finally, the infamous question yet
again is, "Who do I go to Tom's with?"
That is an easy answer, readers. The
answer is anyone. You can go with your
boyfriend/ girlfriend or just go out for a
coffee with your classmate.
Tom's- Restaurant i s-a very relaxed
environment with no karaoke nights or
any events. What Tom's brings to San
Marcos is its convenience for any one of
their customers.
Whether it is a quick eat with t he use
of their drive-thru or having a three-hour
meal with your best friend, Tom's Family
Fun Restaurant brings the comfort to you.

No matter who you are, or where
you are, in America, the consensus is in: gas prices are a travesty
and are very quickly becoming
the plight of the American people.
The question is what can we do
about i t Certainly we can't go
about our lives without transportation, nor should we have to. There
is always the alternative of public
transportation. However, while it
is an alternative, public transportation, which, also generally runs on
petroleum has also become subject
to rate increases due to inflated gas
prices.
The first solution that pops into
many Americans' minds is to boycott buying gas on a pre-determined
day. While I won't claim that this
has no ill effect on the gas companies, what have we really accomplished? The fact of the matter is
that in order for us to avoid gassing up one day of the week we are
going to have to pump even more
gas either before or after said boycott. So I ask, what is accomplished
if you are ultimately pumping the
same amount of gas. Not to mention
that in the wake of past gas boycotts
we commonly see gas companies
and OPEC nations raising prices
immediately following the boycott
to make up for any potential profit
losses and to no doubt show the
consumer and western countries,
who is really in control.
Here are a few tips I came across
to help you get the best value for
your gas dollar, the last thing you
want to do is waste away that $4 a
gallon liquid
When filling at the pump, set
the nozzle trigger to the lowest
speed, thereby creating a minimum
amount of vapors. Gas pumped
at a high speed into your tank has
a far greater chance of becoming
gasoline vapor, vapors that you just
paid for are being sucked back into
the underground storage tanks and
resold. The idea being, to get as
much fuel into your tank as possible, while creating as little vapors
as possible.
Fill up when your tank is half full,
by minimizing the amount of air in
your tank you are further eliminating the possibility for the gas to
evaporate into excess air.
When filling up try to do so in the
early morning, when its cold out.
All gas stations have underground
storage tanks and in the morning the
ground temperature is at it's coolest.
Like most liquid substances, when
gasoline is cool its density increases.
Keeping in mind that while gasoline is denser when cool, it in turn,
expands when warm. So by filling
up in the late morning or afternoon
when the ground temperature has
increase you will most likely be getting less than an actual gallon per
metered gallon.
Now this is all well and good for
getting the most out of your gas
dollar, while the consumer still is
for the most part rendered helpless.
Lets face it— we as a society for
better or worse rely on our cars for
daily life. By not buying gas, as
the consumer and the oil compa-
nies well know, we end up hurting
ourselves far more than we could
ever impact the oil industry. The
power we do have as consumers
is to choose from who we buy our
gas. The idea being that if consumers avoid making purchases from
the larger gas companies, Shell,
Exxon/Mobile, Chevron/Texaco,
they will be forced to lower prices.
When the industry giants lower
their prices the smaller, independent gas companies will have to
follow suit.
Unfortunately in this case one
person can't make any kind of difference. For any kind of result or
effect to be felt by OPEC and their
American oil company bedmates,
consumers nation wide need to act.
Your alternative to action is grabbing your ankles and wait for $5
a gallon this summer, then drop
to your knees and prey for divine
intervention, the only likely way
the oil industry would be inclined
to stop gas prices from rising without consumer action. Any action is
better than inaction.

There is nothing more relaxing
after a hard day
of classes than to
wander off into
the fantastic realm
of video games.
Moreover, nothing
is more annoying than someone
who complains while playing video
games. Players who insist on shouting every time they feel the game
systems has wronged them belong
on the same level of frustration as
those who talk aloud at the cinema.
First, shouting will get a player
nowhere.
As
technologically
advanced as it is, the XBOX
360 system cannot hear you.
If the enemy kills you in
"Call of Duty," even though
you think you got a headshot,
complaining about it does
not make a difference. The
game goes on and the player
has another chance. Swearing and bellowing, "no way!"
does not take away what just
happened.
The effect of shouting is on
others nearby. Fellow players and
people nearby often do not sympathize when a game does not go as
expected. They may not be willing
to admit it, this racket is bothersome
and a waste of time. In the big picture, these other people do not care
if the player really did hit all the
notes on "Guitar Hero." Gamers
have linked unpopularity to people
who whine while playing.
Often the case in games like
"Halo" is that a grenade that was
not seen kills players or because
shots from the Battle Rifle were
not as accurate as thought. Yet this
is where most complaining occurs.
Most games are advanced enough
dispense damage fairly. However,
there are occasions where the game
glitches and something occurs
unjustly. Players must keep this
is mind and consider that they too
might have been helped by a error at
one point. What goes around comes
around.
Possibly the most annoying brand
of complaints comes from instances
where players moan about being
truly bested. In this world, fate gifts
some people in areas more than
others are. When beaten by someone of greater skill, one should
gracefully admit defeat, rather than
complain that the other person is
a nerd who only plays that game
all the time. Even thought there is
resentment against those who are
experts, other players would like
to have that skill if possible and are
just upset they are not as good
Even though pressure may be
overwhelming, players should
remember video games are just
games. Complaining does not
better the person and it only ruins
the experience for others.

Karen Haynes arguing the case
for a statue of Dolores Huerta to
stand next to Caesar Chavez on
the college campus.
"The letter was prompted
by discussions with students
(both at CSUSM and at my children's school) about Huerta and
Chavez. Over the years I have
been teaching, many students
have asked why Chavez is honored with a holiday, statues,
etc and Huerta is forgotten,"
said Wilson. "I was motivated
to think about how, on a local
level, we could honor Huerta
and decided a movement to t ry
and put a statue of her alongside
Chavez would be a good way to
honor her work and give her the
rightful place she deserves next
to Chavez. Also, as Chavez day
is supposed to be a day honoring community service, I think
the idea of using the holiday to
serve underrepresented communities (like the predominantly Latino, dual-immersion
school I visited on Thursday) is
in keeping with the purpose of
the day — to inspire service and
activism to change one's community for the better."
Dolores Huerta worked alongside Chavez, fighting for the
rights of farm and field workers, immigrants, and migrant
workers.
"Although Chavez has been
framed as the ' father' of the
farm workers/Latino rights
cause, she (Huerta) is just as
important as him. Yet, in keeping with our patriarchal culture,
we honor the fathers and forget
the mothers," said Wilson.
Wilson plays an active role
in the Women's Center and
Women's Studies department
in addition to the Literature and
Writing department. Earlier
this year, CSUSM recognized
Wilson under its February Faculty Achievements for her many
publications including a chapter, "Womb Fiction: Late Twentieth Century Challenges to the
Woman as Womb Paradigm,"

"She should put a statue next
to the other one of Chavez that
is the same size and not smaller

grader Naomi C lift.
When asked why Huerta
should also have a statue, third
grade student Oscar Garcis
replied, "They worked together
as a team, and they were equally
important in the fight for f arm
workers rights."
The
experience
proved
enlightening to Wilson, having
received skepticism from educators over whether or not the
issues discussed would be too
complicated for young students
to comprehend.
"These kids proved that they
do understand and can grasp the
injustice of the way in which our

In her discussion with students, Wilson cited many important women in history including
Coretta Scott King, Rosa Parks,
Eleanor Roosevelt, Mary Wollstonecraft, Pocahonatas, Sacajawea, Mary Shelley, and J.K.
Rowling.
To end the discussion, Wilson
discussed the achievements and
advancements made throughout history to help women
attain their rights, adding that
letters and petitions are ways
of evoking change. Students
then collectively d rafted their
letter for Haynes stating, "We,

There is no denial among
researchers that autism has
reached pandemic proportions
because of some unknown
change occurring in current
generations. In 2003, Florida
congressman and physician
Dave Weldon reopened a previously discarded debate
on whether thimerosal, a
mercury-based preservative used in common vaccines in the United States,
may cause autism.
Some parents of autistic children claimed their
babies and toddlers were
developing normally then
suddenly became unusually withdrawn within
hours of receiving a routine round of pediatric
shots. As promising as it
sounded, multiple studies have repeatedly failed
to present a connection
between thimerosal and
autism.
Other researchers have
theorized that widespread
illegal drug use in the
1960s and 1970s somehow
broke into the genetic code
of humanity and altered the
fundamental structure of DNA.
Some public health agencies like
the CDC and FDA once even
thought that preservatives or
pesticides in food contributed to
the ever-growing problem. Science's unanimous conclusion
that drug use is h armful still
could not account for any con-
sistent DNA change, nor could
the FDA conclusively prove that
preservatives produce immediate harm in the consumer.
The only known facts in the
world of ASD are of the disease's
frequency and questionability.
Those affected with ASD may
find comfort in the Autism Society of America's support groups
and throughout the States. The

How the legacy of Martin
Luther King Jr. is still alive
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
It has been 14,614 days since
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
stepped out of his room on the
second floor at the Lorraine
Hotel in Memphis. On his way
to a dinner at the Rev. Samuel
"Billy" Kyles' home with several
of his political aides—only four
of which whom are still alive—as
history will never forget, it's no
secret that MLK never made it to
that dinner.
Shot by James Earl Ray, MLK's
assassination devastated fellow
civil rights leaders, communities, and the nation as a whole as
it embarked upon a very fragile
and controversial time in U.S.
History.
Forty years later, MLK's
legacy and dream still lives on.
From his infamous words delivered to a Memphis congregation on April 3, 1968, the night
before his murder: "We've got
some difficult days ahead, but
it doesn't matter with me now.
Because I've been to the mountaintop..." MLK's ideals and
hopes for America inspired generations.
In 1963, MLK's March on
Washington for Jobs and Freedom
was a milestone for all Americans and the pursuit of civil liberties, as it was a turning point
in U.S. History. It was during
this march in which MLK delivered his famous "I have a dream"
speech on the steps of the Lincoln
Memorial to more than 200,000
civil rights supporters.
MLK not only fathered the
birth of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, but also rallied the 1965
Voting Rights Act, both of which
Lyndon B. Johnson made sure
passed when he took over the role
as President after the assassination of JFK.
For more information about the
legacy of MLK, or to read TIME
Magazine's in depth feature and
interview with the surviving four
political aides who were with
MLK at his death, please visit
"MLK: 40 Years Later" at time,
com.
Additonally, to learn more
about MLK, please visit thekingcenter.org, a center established
by Coretta Scott King in 1968 to
carry on the legacy of her husband and educate the future generations of civil rights leaders
about MLK's dream.

�Open Skies travel agreement
BY ALEX HAND
Pride Staff Writer
Traveling to Europe may
have j ust gotten easier. As of
March 30th 2008, the EU-US
so-called Open Skies agreement o fficially goes into e ffect.
The agreement opens up the
t ransatlantic market to more
f ree-market competition. More
competition among a irlines
will allow for more business
o pportunities for airline companies and more choices for
travelers.
B efore the Open Skies agreement, f lights between the U.S.
and Europe were governed by
s eparate, individual agreements made between the United
States and c ertain European
n ations. The previous p acts
made it m andatory for airlines to t ake o ff or land in t heir
native c ountries, and also limited which a irlines could p rovide service to c ertain a irports.
Now, with the new agreement
in e ffect, it allows for a much
more level playing field among
all the companies serving the
t rans-Atlantic market.
With t his new level playing f ield comes many b enefits.
For i nstance, British A irways
will be launching a new airline
called OpenSkies that will p rovide nonstop service f rom JFK
to P aris, B russels, and Amsterdam. Many other airlines such
as A ir France, Continental,
Delta and Northwest will be
opening up new f light options
and b egin s erving many new
p orts according to the New
York Times.
With many new players in
the m ix, airlines will begin an
all out s kirmish that will create
many more travel options and
possibly lower p rices for customers. With the f reedom to
provide service to new locations, airlines will begin to
schedule f lights to all new
locations. Heathrow, one of
E urope's most popular may be
the location with the biggest
increase of usage with new
s ervice f rom airlines such as
C ontinental, Delta, and N orthwest for t he f irst t ime. Later
t his year, many airlines plan
to add daily service to Heathrow f rom many U.S. cities such
as Detroit, M inneapolis, and
Seattle.
As previously mentioned in
the New York Times, according to J erry Chandler, author
of cheapflights.corn's travel
blog "We d on't even begin to
get a glimmer of the possibilities of an open-market competition yet," Chandler has been
t racking the open-skies agree-
ment f rom the b eginning and
says " there could be a lot of
f lourishing of routes in markets that currently d on't exist,
especially f rom smaller U.S.
cities to E uropean hubs."
So it seems that the new Open
Skies agreement will benefit
everyone involved but the b urning question still remains. Will
it really lower a irfare prices for
trans-Atlantic travel? Although
it is unclear at this point, a study
done by a consulting firm called
Battle Group revealed that the
new agreement should put pressure on airlines to reduce fares
by 4 to 10 percent. As for the
rest, it will be interesting to see
how the new open market plays
out of companies and travelers
alike.

Not to mention that the four

be taken separately and at the

of time to finish this test. With

�Sign-ups still open for powder puff football
BY AMANDA A NDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
Boys in skimpy cheerleader outfits with makeup and pom-poms
and girls in football gear with face
paint and matching shirts are usually the images that come to mind
whenever the term "Powder P uff' is
mentioned. Sure, there are probably
plenty of Facebook and Myspace pictures out there of just that too—but
now all CSUSM students can participate in and witness such a spectacle
firsthand.
The time is now CSUSM, when
all the females on campus have the
opportunity to kick some Powder
Puff butt. Sponsored by ASI Campus
Recreation, this month the annual
Powder Puff Football event and tournament begins Friday, April 11, and
continues the next Friday, April 18
from noon to 4 p.m. The event and
the games will take place on two
designated fields at the lower field
located on the corner of Twin Oaks
Valley Rd. and Craven Rd.
Signups are open at the Clarke Field
House in FH 119 through Friday the
11th at 12 p.m. However, space is limited as only the first 12 teams to register can participate, so for those interested, don't wait too long, or the only
available spots will be the ones at the
sidelines watching.
To register a team, at least three
people from a team need to be present, and one of those three present
needs to be the team leader. There
can be eight people on a team plus a
coach. Teams are encouraged to have
coaches, so feel free to invite a boyfriend, brother, friend, husband, or
classmate to coach a team.
Once a team is registered, the rest
of the individuals on the team can
stop by the Clarke anytime to add
herself to the roster. Registration for
the tournament costs $5/person, but if
CSUSM Softball s taying
s trong down t he s tretch
a registrant has participated in any
intramural activity previously this
year and already paid the $10 fee
for the year, then registration is free.
There will also be a "Free Agent"
team with an open roster for anyone
who does not have ateam but wishes
to play. Teams are also encouraged
to matching uniforms—though not
required—however, there may be a
reward for the "Best Uniform."
Saul Garcia of Campus Recreation said, "The winning team will
all receive
Intramural Champion shirts and
have a plaque with their team name
and picture on it in our trophy case
which is located in the hallway of
thefieldhouse."
All teams will play in the tournament both days. On the 11th' teams
will play two games and then on
the 18th teams will be ranked and
participate in the single elimination
tournament.

�Making Spring Break last Locals shine at the Orange
County Music Awards
BY ADAM LOWE
Pride Staff Writer
Oh! Spring Break, how I love thee! Let
me count the ways! You are the best time
of year because you bring about some of
the greatest things this world has to offer:
Hot girls and, of course, wet t-shirts! Well,
no. Okay, yes, but that is neither here nor
there. Don't get me wrong, I love a chick
in a wet t-shirt, but that is not how to make
Spring Break last. So what does make
Spring Break what it is? What are some of
the greatest things about Spring Break that
make it so wonderful and so seemingly
long?
Spring Break for me is sitting in a hammock, sipping an ice cold beer, getting a
little drunk and enjoying the fact that I get
to spend some well deserved time relaxing. For me, a graduating senior, I am just
counting the days until I get to bid this
school farewell for my undergrad work.
But this last semester before I decide that I
am done, I'm taking this last Spring Break
to cherish the time I have left.
I think back to my childhood of listening
to the relaxing tunes of movies like "Endless Summer" back in the 70s. Those surf
tunes are absolutely soothing and relaxing.
I just want to crank that while allowing
the alcohol to permeate within me, creating the perfect feeling of a complete lack
of care. But what is the greatest way to
make this Spring Break last as long as it
possibly can? This is how.
Grab a good drink, turn on some good
music and relax. Whether you are going on
a trip or just staying at home this Spring
Break, there is nothing more relaxing and
naturally soothing than just letting life
pass you by as you relax. Whether you
enjoy the classic surf tunes from "Endless Summer" or something like the everamazing Bob Marley, just throw some of
that on and have yourself a relaxing time.
Maybe even take a few hours to hang out
with friends and watch a good old classic
80s film like "The Goonies" or perhaps
even "The Adventures in Babysitting" don't lie, you know you love that one!
For me, I took this Spring Break to get
a variety of relaxing goodness. I went
camping in Big Sur and enjoyed some
amazing beer as well as a swig or two of
my favorite rum - all while spending time
with my family. I went to Disneyland and
spent some time with our most beloved
rodent - but what did you do? However
you spent your Spring Break, I hope that
you were able to enjoy a good time that
was just as relaxing as mine - I know it
was needed and deserved - so, with that,
I say, "Cheers to you! Now back to the
grinding stone."

Amid the glitz and glamour of Orange
County are many bands that deserve
some recognition. This year at the Orange
County Music Awards, there were a few
surprises but also some expected wins.
A few of the bands that I have seen on a
regular basis here in Orange County were
up for some of the awards at this show.
Of the many nominations, among the sea
of names were some that I recognized
easily. Of these known names, I actually
was quite hoping the best for a few of
them. Hollowell, for example, was up for
Best Live Electric Band. Though they did
not win, they still get to enjoy their time
overseas with the troops in Iraq, starting on April 3, 2008.Last year's winner
of the Best Alternative Band, Sleepless
Me, had to step down as the title-holder
of that award this year. This year, the
Best Alternative Band award went to a
band called Bayadera (http://bayadera.
ning.com/). Personally, I've never heard
of them, but they won the award so they
must have something good to offer. Give
them a listen. Perhaps they actually are
as good as their award would suggest.
Sleepless Me is not the only former
winner to have to step down. Deccatree,
last years Best Indie Band, no longer
holds that title because of this year's
winner, Chris Paul Overall (www.myspace.com/chrispauloverall), snagging the
title. Overall is one of the most talented
musicians in the Orange County area
with a 5-octave vocal ability. If you want
to hear true talent, you need to check out
this guy.
As for the last honorable mention from
me, we have the winner of the Best Live
Acoustic Male: AJ DeGrasse (www.myspace.com/ajdegrasse). AJ plays every
Tuesday at the Gypsy Lounge (www.
thegypsylounge.com) in Lake Forest, CA
with Chris Paul Overall, as well as many
other great Orange County artists. The
only real way to explain AJ's voice is - it
is big. His voice really takes the whole
stage.
If you are interested in any of the other
information regarding who was nominated and who won some of the other
awards, check out www.orangecountymusicawards.com and you will get every
bit of information you could ever want including pictures from the event that was
held at The Grove of Anaheim. I think I'd
say that all who won - won big!
Finally, a reason to buy a Wii
Super Smash Brothers Brawl
BY BILL RHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
After weeks of product testing, the consensus of gamers is that "Super Smash
Brothers Brawl" is the first
game that makes owning a
Jill
Nintendo Wii necessary.
While the system is unique
with its motion
s ensitive
con-
trollers, there was not enough support to justify
investing in the system. However, "Brawl" has
changed that. It is a fun, addicting game that
takes minutes to learn, and countless hours to
master.
Released March 9 in North America, this
is the third game in the SSB series. The game
play is simple. It is a third person side-scrolling
fighting game, featuring characters from classic
Nintendo games present and past. These include
Mario, Link from "The Legend of Zelda,"
Samas Aran from "Metroid" and several new
characters. Both others games were excellent,
and this is no different. The graphics are stunning and the interface is well done.
Where this game stands out is the new storyline. Several villains, including Wario,
Bowser, and King DeDeDe from the "Kirby"
series, have kidnapped other characters and it is
the gamer's responsibility to track them down.
Starting with only a few playable heroes, players find more allies as the game progresses
across the Nintendo world. Though it involves
multiple storylines, the game is engrossing and
appeals to people who have not even played previous installments in the series.
The definitive best part about "Brawl" is the
new features for multiplayer. Snake from the
"Metal Gear Solid" series and Sonic from the
"Sonic the Hedgehog" series are two of the most
notable additions. Each has intense moves to
bring to the battlefield, and they are not the only
new faces. There are also new maps to battle on,
as well as the mapmaker feature. Finally, new to
the game is the final smash attack. Occasionally
on the map, the SSB logo will appear and when
acquired, it grants the player a special power
ranging from more potent punches and blasters to access to allies and super-powered weapons. Each time the option to obtain this occurs,
gamers may temporarily forget about the battle
to get hold of this power.
The idea of the game is simple, but Sora Ltd.,
the developers of this game, but not the previous two, has included several facets to make the
game more enjoyable. Even if the financial situation may be tight, this game is five stars and
justifies buying a Wii.

�The world is ending... again...in "Doomsday"
BY JON THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
"Doomsday" is the
latest outbreak apocalypse movie to tap into
the public's ongoing fascination with the end of
the world. The plot line
is one most of us will recognize: a 20th century plague virus
breaks out; the government tries
to put up walls to quarantine the
population; and in turn, society
declines into anarchy. The walls
can't hold the virus as it spreads
to the rest of the world, so writer
director Neil Marshall throws a
few twists into an otherwise all
to familiar scenario. The film's
trailer boasts, "it was an epidemic
unlike any other," but after about
30 seconds of watching "Doomsday," one
could quickly conclude
that this is an epidemic in cinema
like far too many
others.
With ground
zero for chaos set
in Glasgow, Scotland, this time it's
the
"dreaded virus Reaper"
infecting the populous. The English waste no time in locking
and barricading Scots behind a
wall, following the Roman frontier's boundaries and surrounding
Scotland. In a scenario moviegoers have seen before, the society
collapses into anarchy. Left to
die behind the wall, waiting for
help that never came, the weak
are killed and eaten, and soon
all signs of life are gone from the
quarantine zone.
The first of a very few original twists in this plot line comes
three decades later in the plot with
the return of the Reaper virus,
and this time it's in London. As
the virus suddenly returns on the
opposite side of the wall, government officials see signs of life on
streets of Scotland's cities. With
the world's population in jeopardy, British officials assemble
a team to go back into the initial
quarantine zone and find the cure.

�BY BILL RHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
The film "21" had serious potential
to be a great movie. Yet this mediocre film fails on many levels. This
is astonishing considering the star
power and factors behind the film.
The film producers had a good idea,
but the movie left me begging for the
end.
The book "Bringing Down the
House" is the inspiration for the
film. The best selling book is the
t rue story of Ben Mezrich, who used
math and card counting to win large
amounts of money in Las Vegas casinos. Jim Sturgess plays Ben, a math
genius who needs money so that he
can attend Harvard Medical School.
Kevin Spacey, a professor, notices
his talent and invites him to learn
card counting so that he can devise
a teamwork system to guarantee continuous wins at blackjack. Ben's life
becomes complicated when he falls
for a teammate played by Kate Bosworth and casino security puts the
pressure on him.
One place this film went wrong was
with the acting. Jim Sturgess had his
big break with the lead in "Across the
Universe " but this actor f rom the UK
had a hard time being a believable
American college student. The audience might fail to care for his character due to the lack of depth. The other
big name in this film is Kevin Spacey,
who has proved himself as one of the
greatest actors ever. However, one
cannot always be perfect as Spacey
gives a moderate performance as a
stereotypical college professor who
quotes "Ferris Bueller's Day O ff."
More small flaws plague this film,
which the flashy clothes and stylish music could not cover. The idea
that inspires this film is fine, yet it
becomes boring. At first, the depiction of card counting is exciting, but
the repetitive nature of the action
becomes boring. In between scenes in
casinos are unoriginal moments
showing the rise and fall of a
movie character. Ben starts as a
nerdy college student, who uses
his skill to become something
great and win the attention of
the girl he has adored for a
long time. Nevertheless, in
the process, he forgets his t rue
friends, then his world comes
crashing down, and he must
redeem himself. The end is
predictable and like other
films of this nature everything becomes right and
Ben still gets the girl.
The structure of the film
being similar to many
others may cause this
movie to flop. Despite
being based on a bestselling book and having
notable actors, "21"
might only score the
titular number on a
scale out of 100.

San Miguel
Dark Lager
BY JONATHAN E. THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
While taking a trip to the Philippines might seem a tad bit difficult, tasting a product f rom
Southeast Asia is not that far f rom
reach. San Miguel Corporation
brews San Miguel Dark Lager
in Manila, Philippines. Logret
Import and Export Company in
City of Industry, California, imports the
lager.
The cardboard container holds six 12
fluid ounce brown glass bottles. The six
pack retails for $6.99. The labeling is similar to most imported beers. The packaging consists of blue and yellow accents fea-
turing a f rosty bottle nestled
in a bed of ice. The bottles
are labeled slightly different.
The bottles contain a sophisticated gold and blue label.
A copper bottle cap with the
company's logo in red and
black stencil caps a lager
with 5% alcohol by volume.
The lager pours semismooth releasing an almost
completely black ale creating a half-inch
thick head. The head keeps formation
for a few moments then disappears. The lager creates
an aroma similar to that of
a bread bakery as doughy
scents surround the f rosty
mug. The lager enters
smooth with a hint of
excitement. Unlike most
brews that peak with a
onetime p owerful punch
of flavor, the lager's
peak of energy continues throughout the
swallow and lingers
for a brief moment
thereafter. The lager
leaves a bittersweet
taste in the mouth.
