A lleged student assault prompts d emands f or action
I nvestigation s parks c ampus r esponse
B Y JASMINE DEMERS
ASSISTANT TO EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Students have taken a
stand against rape and sexual assault in an effort to
refocus the conversation
around supporting survivors.
Demonstrators rallied during U hour on August 26
in Library Plaza with posters, chants and demands for
change. Supporters included
Cathy Nguyen from Student
Health and Counseling Services, as well as members
of STARS, Active Minds,
the Health and Wellness
Center, Sigma Chi, MEChA,
STAND, the United Students - pf C^lor C oalition
BSU and other CSUSM
professors and faculty.
The rally was organized in
response to the pending investigation of the Tau Rho
chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon. UPD issued a crime
report regarding allegations
that in May of this year, a
CSUSM student was sexually assaulted at an off-campus party hosted by members of TKE. Students have
responded to these claims

notably those at CSUSM.
Karen GuzmXn, who organized the rally along with
members of Feminists Anonymous, did this to specifically offer support to survivors of all sexual violence.
"Being survivors ourselves, we know what this
process feels like," GuzmXn
said. "There is so much
that goes into being victimized and we just want
this survivor to know that
we stand behind them."
Although TKE is not a
recognized organization at
CSUSM, the alleged sexual
assault is closely associated
with students and the surrounding campus community.
Jeff Salas, the chapter
President of TKE, explains
that fraternity members
are doing what they can
to aid the investigation.
"We have been coop-
erating
with
anything
that law enforcement has
asked us to do to help with
the situation," Salas said.
The university also responded to these reports by
focusing on student welfare and encouraging any
victim of sexual assault to
take advantage of confidential counseling services.
"The safety and well-being
of our entire campus community is our highest priority," CSUSM's Public Information Officer, Margaret
Chantung, said. "We will not
tolerate nor ignore sexual assault and we .will hold members of our community accountable for their actions."
Chantung

suited in an increase of student concern and public
awareness of sexual assault
in the community. Karen
GuzmXn and other members of Feminists Anonymous explain that being able
to confront this violence is
the most important thing.
"We want to create a campus who is talking about it.
We want to facilitate those
discussions and eventually change our campus
climate," GuzmXn said.
Greek Life response to the TKE incident
Sororities and fraternities speak up
B Y JASMINE DEMERS
ASSISTANT TO EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Greek Life organizations
at CSUSM are looking to
move forward from recent
news of the investigation
of Tau Kappa Epsilon so
that they can continue to
improve themselves, the
campus and the community.
Although the local fraternity has not been a recognized organization since
2005, the TKE rape and
sexual assault allegations
may have had a significant impact on sororities
and fraternities at CSUSM.
Jason Schreiber, Director of Student Life and
Leadership, explains that
public scrutiny in this type
of situation is inevitable.

NEWS EDITOR & EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
For years, students at
CSUSM have used the Industrial district on Barham and
Discovery Street as a place to
park their cars during school
hours. However, that's all
coming to an end this semester, now that a new City Ordinance is limiting parking in
the area to only two hours in
some sections, and restricting it altogether in others.
Naturally, this presents a
problem to students who may
need to park on campus for
more than just a single class.
It's easy to see the effectiveness of the streets near
La Moree as a haven for students looking to escape some
of the more expensive parking lots offered by the school.
However, perhaps most affected by the change are the
approximately 300 new students moving into The Quad,
itself without a specific, designated parking area. This
forces residents to make the
often-excessive trip to the
parking structure or UVA lot.
"You have no choice but
to park on campus if you
want to go to the classes you
paid for, and that's not only
expensive, i t's a huge hassle," one student resident at
The Quad said. "Not only
do I have to walk up a huge
hill every time I want to go
somewhere, but if I want my
car parked the whole day,
I have to pay for a parking
permit. So basically, living at The Quad now costs
$600 more than it used to."
Students face parking restrictions on the following
streets: Industrial Street, East
Carmel Street, Enterprise
Street, Distribution Street,
Production
Street, Hill
Dr., Trade Street, Venture
Street and La Moree Road.
There is two hour parking,
24 hours a day, seven days
a week in these sections.
However, there is no parking allowed between 7 a.m.
to 10 a.m. on Mondays for
street sweeping. Students
that are in violation of these
new rules will face citations
starting at $48 per ticket.
The cost of purchasing
a parking pass at CSUSM
is $643 per academic year
and $338 a semester, which
leaves students frustrated
and searching for alternatives. Students who opt out
of this method of payment
are forced to either use the
ticket systems in the parking
lots, which can cost up to $9
a day, orriskparking on campus without any pass whatsoever, which may result in
a parking ticket from UPD.
"It's completely unnecessary and unfair," one
student, who wished to remain anonymous, said.
If students choose to opt
out of utilizing the parking
structure, the other option is
purchasing a monthly pass
from the Sprinter/Breeze Station. Students are allowed to
park their vehicles at any of
the sprinter stops for free and
then ride the sprinter to campus. This option of purchasing such a pass is available
to CSUSM students for $40.
However, the city is keen
to point out that the matter
has more to do with local
homeowners and businesses
than the school and its costs.
Karl Schwann, the Director of Housing and Neighborhood Services, has said
that student parking in the
area has prevented street
sweeping, accumulating up
to 1,500 pounds of debris.
A lot of this ends up in the
sewer, with the ultimate
cost of polluting the ocean.
The city council voted
5-0 in July on the matter, which also takes into
account
alleged
complaints from businesses
and homes on the street.
While many students continue to complain and seek
out alternatives for parking this semester, there
is no plans for changing
the current status of parking around the university.

Heart Beat
ALS Ice Bucket Challenge defined
SY A LEXIS S AUCEDO
SPORTS COLUMNIST
Who would have thought
that a bucket of ice water
could raise over $100 million
for ALS research, as well as
bring awareness to so many?
The latest craze has swept
the nation the last few
months, taking Facebook in
particular by storm. All the
cool kids are doing it; even
celebrities such as LeBron
James and Jennifer Lopez
have jumped on the bandwagon. So what is the ALS
Ice Bucket Challenge? More
importantly, what is ALS?
There are many cold water
challenges out there, but the
ALS Ice Bucket Challenge,
all its authenticity, can
be credited to Pete Frates.
According to syracuse.com,
Frates is a former Boston
College baseball star, who
is two years into an ALS
diagnosis. The rapidly progressive disease has since
claimed Frates' ability to
walk and talk. Yet, Frates still
managed to take part in the
Ice Bucket Challenge with a
smile last month in Fenway
Park, with all of his family and friends by his side.
According to the National
Institute of Neurological
Disorders and Stroke, ALS
stands for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and is considered to be a neuromuscular
disease. ALS is also known
as Lou Gehrig's Disease and
can be more specifically classified as a motor neuron disease. According to the NIH,
motor neurons serve as the
communication between the
nervous system and the voluntary muscles of the body. In
ALS, motor neurons die and
the brain loses the ability to
control voluntary movement.
The NIH states that the
average life expectancy of
individuals with ALS is two
tofiveyears and the majority
die from respiratory failure*
This is due to the weakening
of muscles in the diaphragm.
The NIH also says that
symptoms associated with
ALS vary widely from tight
muscles to slurred speech.
Individuals suffering from
ALS do not lose all cognitive ability, therefore they
are often aware of the rate at
which their body is betraying
them. Due to the similarity
of symptoms with other diseases, no one test can be used
to confirm ALS. As a result,
physicians rely on a compilation of neurological exams,
as well as an extensive medical history, to diagnose each
patient. While the cause of
ALS is still unknown, scientists are investigating specific
genetic mutations and exposure to certain environmental
toxins as possible causes.
With over 12,000 individu-
als in the United States who
are suffering from ALS, an
Ice Bucket Challenge might
be just what scientists needed to fund research for a
cure. According to the New
York Daily News, prior to
the Ice Bucket Challenge,
fundraising efforts for ALS
research only raised $26.3
million this past fiscal year.
Now, how can you join
the already three million
people who have donated
to ALS? Originally, it was
customary to wait for a tag
on Facebook, daring you
to either complete the challenge within twenty-four
hours or donate. This challenge has grown so large it is
now a movement and many
are accepting the challenge
for fun, in addition to donating* Those wishing to donate
to ALS research or other
charities associated with the
disease can visit alsa.org.

Women's soccer coach Bobby Renneisen heads new era
for this new challenge.
"I was really fortunate to
be able to handle day to day
operations during practices
as if I were the head coach,"
Renneisen said. "I wasn't out
there just fetching cones, I
was able to be a part of the
required hands-on duties of
coaching, which has allowed
me to make a seamless transition into head coach/'
With the season being
its early stages, Renneisen
will be relying upon his veterans, which includes nine
seniors and four juniors.
Unfortunately, the women's soccer team has been
blind sided by a slew of
unrelenting injuries, which
has forced the squad to
redshirt six players. However, according to the new
Head Coach, that is the
name of the game and that
shouldn't prevent his team
from achieving success.
"We do not have any specific, one standout or all-star
type of player on this team,"
Renneisen said. "We are going to get this done collectively as a unit to become a
team that achieves our goals."

Renneisen is confident that
his team's leaders will help
them succeed this season.
"Our captains Nicole Luna
and Natalie Lara are players that will have leadership
roles, but we have plenty
of experienced players that
we will rely upon so J look
at leadership among the
whole squad to be key."
Coach Renneisen is looking forward to continuing
a winning tradition that
includes four Association
of • Independent Institutions (A.1.1.) titles, most
recently in 2013, along
with five appearances at the
NAIA national tournament.
"We want to repeat as conference champions again and

Ron Pulvers' role in the
CSUSM Athletics Department has changed despite
continuing as head coach
of the men's soccer team.
Returning for his ninth
season, Men's Soccer Head
Coach Ron Pulvers -has
decided to focus on just
the men's team instead of
coaching both men's and
women's soccer teams.
"I could spend more quality 'time with the players,
providing more opportunities for them to learn and it
adds life, balance and initiative of NCAA," Pulvers said.
Pulvers believes with
his new sole focus on the
men's soccer team, he better benefit the team entering the NCAA Division 2.
As the 2014 season begins,
all thé talk is about how exciting it is to be getting ready
to join other NCAA competitors next season. Pulvers is
ready to end this last season
in the NAIA with a bang.
"Going to NCAA D2 is a
big excitement for everyone," Pulvers said. "It adds to
our recruiting profile and being affiliated with the NCAA
label is a big recognition and
it will help our program in
every way. The NCAA will
be a challenging experience but it will make us get
stronger as a whole team."
In regards to this season, Pulvers believes that
the men's soccer team has
experienced players and a
handful of fresh new talent that could benefit the
team in massive ways.
"He inspires all of us to
be better players. How [he
is] encouraging and positive about every aspect, and
as a result it reflects on how
we play and how much we
want to be here. We practice
harder because of him," senior athlete, Evan Myers, said.
The upcoming season appears to be one that the team
is looking forward to overall.
"He likes to change it up
a lot and keeps you on your
toes. We have to be aware for ,
anything he's going to throw
at you," athlete, Erik Mueller, said. "I am excited for
this season now that he is just
coaching the men's [soccer]
team. He has so much more
time to focus on just the men
and he has that extra enthusiasm to pump the team."

Projected gymnasium expected to expand student community
Building student spirit in the Cougar experience
B Y BURTLAND D IXON
STAFF WRITER
CSUSM takes a huge
stride in building campus
pride with the addition of a
new state-of-the-art basketball gymnasium, scheduled
to be complete and ready
for use by the start of 2016
women's volleyball season.
The possibilities this gym
could have for positively
impacting the experiences
of students are limitless.
"I think it's another building to bring the community together," CSUSM
third year track athlete, Allen Brown, said. "With the
gym, it's like we'll be able
to see our basketball team
and I know we have a great
team but it's just hard to go
out and see their games."
Due to not having a large
gym, CSUSM has struggled in some ways to increase the size of crowds
in attendance at games.
Lacking a football team at
CSUSM seems to also be a
common topic of discussion
with students and athletes.
However, lacking a local
gymnasium to cheer for the
Cougars that play indoor
sports remains one of the
biggest concerns on campus.
Without this resource, students do not have a large
scale location to cheer on
their peers and participate
in the game day experience.
"I think it definitely opens
people's eyes to be active
in college and with it being
on campus people aren't going to worry about driving to
the other gym," student Brianny Williams, set to graduate in 2015, said. "I think it
will affect our college campus as well as probably get
more prospective students
instead of students not wanting to come when they see
we don't even have a gym."
Home basketball and volleyball games are currently
played off campus, forcing CSUSM athletes to
drive a number of miles to
compete in what is considered to be a. "home" game
With a staggering 1 percent of students living on
campus, this gym will allow the other 99 percent to
feel like they are part of a

Money night football at Hooters
O mbuds O ffice w orks to make d ifference
B Y K ATUN SWEENEY
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Creating a safe space for
students, faculty and staff to
express their concerns and
find pathways towards success is one of the highest priorities of the Ombuds staff.
The Ombuds Office is a
unique space on campus in
which individuals can discover what resources are
available to them and talk
through issues such as communication difficulties, conflicts with peers or individuals with more power than
them. Because it is separate
from administration and is
completely confidential, all
students, faculty and staff
can use this resource without worrying if their feelings
will cause problems at work
or school .
Dr. Fritz Kreisler, from
Student Health and Counseling Services, has been
part of the Ombuds staff for
a few years and has spoken
with faculty and staff about
personal issues as well as
those that arise in the workplace. He has discovered that
many times, individuals are
in need of guidance to direct them as to how to best
address conflict, what the
policies and procedures at
CSUSM are and how to find
solutions.
"I think that it helps tb
find actual pathways, bring
people together and sometimes work towards a compromise," Kreisler said. "It
is amazing how much you
can sort it out into this or
that. We look at the options
you have, how you can move
past things and sort out issues while shedding light on
them."
Dr. Kara Kornher, from
Disabled Student Services,
joined the Ombuds staff
eight months ago to serve as
the consultant for students.
She has found that all students can benefit from an
open, informal conversation
with someone that is willing
to listen and help.
"It is the opportunity to see
problems get solved and to
see people take responsibility, and take charge, of what
is happening to them," Kornher said. "This way, they do
not feel like a passive victim.
They have choices, options
and they can make informed
decisions."
Both Kornher and Kreisler
credit the Ombuds Office for
being a unique resource in
the sense that neither of them
will repeat any of the information that is told to them
and they do not keep records
of who visits the office. Any
notes that are taken during
a session are immediately
shredded to keep the highest
degree of confidentiality in
place.

Everybody dreads that day
of the week when they have
a four hour gap in between
their classes. You can choose
to leave campus when you
have a break in between
classes, or you can save
some gas and hang around.
If you decide to stay on campus and wait it out on your
break, here are some things
you can do to fill the time:
1. Watch a movie in the
library. Some students may
not know this, but you can
actually check out movies
from the Kellogg Library
at the media library on the
firstfloor.They have a wide
variety of new and old movies, as well as private study
rooms with TVs, DVDs and
VHS players for moviewatching. Or you can watch
a DVD on one of the many
computers in the first-floor
computer lab. If you have
Netflix, think about watching it on your laptop, or on
one of the computers in the
library during your break.
2. Grab lunch with a
friend. This one may take
some planning ahead. If
you're stuck on campus
with nothing to do, text a
friend or plan to have lunch
together. There are some
yummy food options on
campus in the new USU
building. Or you can pack
yourselves a lunch and enjoy a nice picnic on a grassy
spot somewhere on campus.
3. Take a nap. Everybody
knows the couches in the
reading room on the top floor
of the library are the perfect
place for a nap, and if you
don't, you're missing out. Or
you canfinda nice shady spot
under one of the trees somewhere on campus. You can
even take a nap in your car.
Naps are the perfect way to
recharge in between classes
4. Do homework. While
this isn't the most exciting
option, it is a productive way
to spend your break. Long
breaks are an excellent time
to catch up on homework or
to get ahead on your studying
5. Get caffeine! Feeling sleepy? Go caffeinate
at one of the three coffee
places on campus. Looking for a new drink? Head
over to the campus coffee
cart in the founders plaza

Extended Learning offers
exciting opportunities to students that they may not be
aware, or take advantage of.
Laura Segall, Marketing
and Public Information Officer for CSUSM Extended
Learning, discussed the opportunities Extended Learning (EL) has to offer for
CSUSM students. Segall
explained how the breadth
of programs, courses and
certificates are extensive
and present a myriad of
possibilities for students.
Extended Learning is not
just responsible for organizing Summer Session and
Winter Intersession. This
educational arm of CSUSM
operates all the international
programs for the university,
such as Study Abroad. It also
simultaneously takes steps
to involve businesses in the
region (e.g. ViaSat)—businesses and organizations
which CSUSM students may
one day enjoy working for.
This fall, Extended Learning offers its usual programs
in Science, Business and Legal Studies, to name a few,
but also introduces a new
program in water leadership, with another program
in cyber security on the way.
Programs for credit are not
the only opportunities available for CSUSM students.
There are several certificate
programs offered as well.
Tasting room management
is one of several courses involved with the budding, or
experienced,
sommelier's
growth in the wine industry. Wine is not the only
thing under the Californian
sun, EL also offers certificates in digital arts, education and paralegal work.
"All of these programs help prepare people for jobs," Segall said.
In addition to the programs and certificates offered, Segall explained
how affordable Extended
Learning programs are.
"The cost of our programs truly reflects what
they cost," Segall said.
Extended Learning is the
"self-support division" that
benefits the community at
not-for-profit rates. There is
an added bonus according to
this fall's Extended Learning
Catalog: CSUSM Alumni
Members may actually receive a 15 percent discount on
"most non-credit programs."
As students continue to
graduate, there may be a
remarkable growth of the
extended learning program.
"We started a Temecula
campus in 2009 that is 100
percent extended learning,"
Segall said; "This fall, we've
started a second Temecula campus at the Old City
Hall building in Temecula,
which is a partnership between Mount San Jacinto
College, CSUSM Temecula
and the City of Temecula."
On top of the new buildings that will benefit incoming students, Segall informed that EL has grown
by about 20 percent a year
for the last three years.
"Of the 23 CSU's, Extended learning at CSUSM,
last year, ranked number
10 in terms of revenue
generation," Segall said.
Segall suggests for CSUSM
students to look at the website at csusm.edu/el, review
the catalog and discover what
Extended Learning can offer.

"We want to get students
to experience new things."
Ortega recalls a memorable past experience with
Campus Rec and how a new
CSUSM foreign exchange
student once joined them
on a surfing excursion. The
student did not know how to
surf, and, on top of that, had
never even seen an ocean before. Other students on the
excursion partnered together,
supplied her with surfboards
and taught her how to swim.
"They gave her the
best experience," Ortega said. "That's the way
Campus
Rec
works."
Campus Rec offers a multitude of events and trips
throughout the semester.
Some of these trips include kayaking in La Jolla
Cove, surfing, hiking San
Marcos' own Double Peak
Trail, climbing in Joshua
Tree, paddle boarding on the
Carlsbad Lagoon and paintballing in Camp Pendleton.
In addition, archery lessons
for students are available at a
discounted rate. Students can
also choose from intramural
teams such as flag football,
soccer, softball and dodgeball. Sports clubs associated with Campus Rec also
provide cycling, dance, lacrosse and volleyball teams.
The prices for events and
trips range from free to $95.
However, space is limited
and usually caps out at about
eight to 10 students for weekend trips such as Joshua Tree
or Sierra Nevada, and around
15 to 20 students on day trips
such as hiking or surfing.

ASSISTANT TO THE NEWS EDITOR
The alarm rings sharply
at 4am. The occasion does
not call for work or school;
therefore, the grogginess
that generally overcomes
one's senses at this hour
is nowhere to be found.
Pierre quietly grabs his
duffle bag and ice chest and
heads for the door. The predawn energy has an eerie
though peaceful stillness.
The passing of time has yet
to take hold of the day. Upon
arrival to his destination,
Pierre opens the trunk and
pauses to admire the sound of
waves crashing nearby. After
a calming breath, he begins
preparing f or what he came
to do. Slipping on his neoprene camo wetsuit, memories of his first dive surface
in his mind, creating an undeniable sense of nostalgia.
Eyeing his, favorite sandy
cove, he slings the remaining
gear over his shoulder and
starts the short hike to the
beach. Before stashing the
rucksack behind a rock, he
removes his most vital piece
of equipment, his speargun.
It is a handmade teak wood
work of art, crafted by Daryl
Wong- the state gun of Ha-
waii. Once at the water's
edge, Pierre steps into his
three feet long carbon fiber
fins and secures his dive
mask and snorkel over his
face. Running through a last
mental checklist, he makes
sure his knife is sheathed in
his belt and wades out into
the water before kicking
out into the depths in search
of yellowtail, dorado and
the elusive white sea bass.
Pierre, a CSUSM student, is not alone in his distinct adventures. Many San
Diegans have taken to the
"Spearo" lifestyle, reaping
both the physical and men-
tal benefits of this pastime.
For spearfishing enthusiasts,
the obvious dangers of such
a hobby are outweighed by
the blissful solitude that exists in the depths. However,
diving to depths of forty plus
feet on a single breath requires an immense amount
of physical proficiency and
emotional discipline. Although not a lifestyle suited
for all personality types,
Pierre describes his love for
diving as an "escape from
everyday life like no other."
He heeds warning to anyone wishing to take up spearfishing and reminds novices
that it is crucial to always
dive with a buddy and stay
within one's limits. It is recommended that beginners
practice dive techniques in a
safe coastal swimming area,
during calm water conditions, with no spear gun,
before attempting to venture out in search of game
fish. For more information,
clubs and forums, such as the
San Diego Free Divers and
the Spearboard, are some
of the resources available.
"From birth, man carries the weight of gravity on his shoulder. He is
bolted to earth. But man
has only to sink beneath
the surface and he is free."

It can also be extremely

It only brings us down. Break
out of the destructive cycle
of constantly comparing by
thinking instead of how you
can work harder to do better next time, or by developing an attitude of gratitude.
Instead of envying the lives
and possessions of others,
choose to be satisfied with
your own circumstances. It is
a much more rewarding way
to live, if you ask me. You
might be surprised by how
much better you feel when
you break out of the small
but dangerous habit of comparing yourself to others.

The positives of young love
T HE C OUGAR CHRONICLE, W EDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1 0 , 3 0 1 4
't be afraid to marry young
Photo courtesy ot Jasmine Demers.
BY JASMINE DEMERS
ASSISTANT TO THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Never in a million years
did I think that I would be
married at 20 years old.
I was supposed to just
think that boys had cooties for the rest of my life.
Yeah, right. Most of us
know it doesn't work that
way, and have an undeniable
desire to love and to give
into attraction. So yes, I fell
in love and married my high-
school sweetheart, and I can
honestly say that I have never been happier in my life.
I want to make a case for
young love and young marriage. People should know
that being young does not
automatically assume a mere
"puppy love" capability. A
person's heart doés not simply become "mature" enough
to love when you hit a certain age. It is a constant and
ever-evolving inner emover-evolvine
tion, and it is indestructible.
When I married my husband, it was like I was suddenly sitting in an interrogation room, awaiting my own
persecution. Everywhere I
looked , I found judgment and
misunderstanding. I could
probably write a book about
all of the young marriage
stereotypes I've heard, so,
let's start with the top three
myths of young marriage:
Number one: The only
reason you could possibly
get married that young is
because you're pregnant.
Nope, not in my case. Believe it or not, I got married
simply because I am head
over heels in love. I found
an amazing friend and partner in crime that I want to
share the rest of my life with.
Number two: You must
have had a courthouse wedding. Wrong again! I was
married in a beautiful church
surrounded by myfriendsand
family. I hadflowers,a white
gown and the whole shabang.
Number three: You don't
have family support. Just because YOU might not agree
with young marriage, does
not mean tha my family is
hat
unsupportive. They have
stood by me through everything and I am very proud of
the relationship that my parents have with my husband.
Myths = busted.
I think it's important for
people to understand that
it is okay to be in love. It is
okay to give someone your
everything, and to allow
them to love you - back . I'm
definitely not saying that you
should get married after dating someone for a month, or
after saying "I love you" for
the first time; however, it is
completely okay to make that
decision when it is right for
you and right for the person
you love, whether that is at
20 years old or 60 years old.
No one should ever tell
you that it isn't okay to express feelings of love based
on specific standards set by
society. Young love is not
wrong and you do not have to
accept that ignorance. If you
have the opportunity to share
that with someone, then you
have to hold onto it. Things
in our lives are always coming and going, but true love
will be constant and lasting.

The exploration of human
interconnectedness in cinema is not a novel concept.
It is frequently purported
that the theme of integral
human relationships can be
found in almost every genre
of film from the outlandish
science fiction to even the
radical dark fantasy. After
all, it is not too often that a
film manages to capture the
essence of such congruence
with a lens of realism that
transcends the complexities
of such a familiar concept,
making it as effortlessly
simple, as the concept lends
itself to be. French-Canadian director Jean-Marc Vallee governs the notion of
love and its timeless interrelation in his film Cafe de
Flore (2011) with an artistic

The movie introduced two
seemingly extraneous stories that are built in respective isolation. In present-day

ravishing girlfriend named
Rose (Evelyne Brochu), iwo

a successful career as an international DJ. In retrospect,
his life is perfect. As he and
Rose become further and further transfixed with one another, Antoine must weather
the hurdles of his previous
relationship without damaging the familiar thread tied
to his ex-wife and children.

The Breakfast Club: VPA senior brings movie classic to stage

A geek, a jock, a criminal, a princess, an athlete

are the characters that
make up John Hughes' The
Breakfast Club, which will
be coming to CSUSM as
a stage play in October.
Every semester, one of
CSUSM's graduating theater

work to the school with a
capstone project. For theater
students, this involves adapting a play to stage (or, if
they're bold enough, writing their own) to perform
in front of the school. This
October, Alex Conteras will
instead be adapting one of
his favorite movies to the
stage for three nights only.

30 years after it came out,
the movie is still relevant."
It is not difficult to see the
effectiveness of the transition
from film to stage. Most of
thefilmtakes place in a single
classroom, with a principal
cast of about six characters.
"What lends Breakfast
Club well to theater is that
the story is set in a single lo-
cation, which makes it ideal
to stage great characters that
everyone can relate to in
some way," Contreras said.
He even goes so far as
to say the entire screenplay is left more or less unchanged in the transition.
"I did not want to ruin
what John Hughes, the author, wrote. All I wanted
to do was tweak it in a few
places to make it flow better
as a play," Contreras said.
He said that the only necessary changes are added
dialogue, referencing important events that take
place outside of the classroom setting in the film.
"The set for our production
will be more done with the
idea that less is more.... The
play is much more about the
kids and their relationship
to each other than it is about
the library they are in," said
Contreras. "Another change
is that me and my director are
trying to emphasize the fact
that the play is timeless....
Will there be references to
the 80s? Sure, but there may
also be references to the 50s,
the 90s and the early 2000s".
Although his passion for
the project shines through,
Contreras had his share of
difficulties in making his
dream a reality. He recounts
his surprise when very few
people showed up to audition, initially causing him to
reach out to friends he knew

However with perseverance,
he finally managed to assemble the cast he needed.
"The moment the audience

Picking a favorite character was a slight challenge for
Contreras, but not impossible.
"A lot of the things Andrew

The Comic Book Corner
M arvel's All-New Ghost Rider
B Y FAITH ORCINO
A &E EDITOR
Marvel once again shakes
up its main universe with the
All-New Marvel NOW! line
of titles. Earlier this year, the
publisher released a number
of familiar titles such as SheHulk; X-Force and Amazing
Spider-Man but with new
twists and creative teams
in the helm. In March, the
Spirit of Vengeance returned
to the shelves with a new
vessel and a very sweet ride.
Writer Felipe Smith teamed
up with artist Tradd Moore
and colorist Val Staples to
create action-packed stories
in All-New Ghost Rider. The
first issue brings readers to
East Los Angeles, home of
18-year-old Robbie Reyes.
Reyes works at one of the local auto shops, making what
he can to take care of himself
and his wheelchair-bound
brother, Gabe. After a street
race goes wrong, he becomes
the new Ghost Rider when
his mysterious killers abandon his body. Now he roams
the street with his 1969
black Dodge Charger as his
choice of transportation.
The combination of Moore
and Staple's art with Smith's
storytelling is perfect for the
thrilling scenes in each issue. Tradd Moore has a lot
of bold lines and motion in
his illustrations, and Val Staples's coloring gives it the
perfect touch of texturing.
The duo is a pair of Marvel
veterans having worked on
previous publications in the
company, but Felipe Smith,
the newcomer, has a lot of
experience under his belt. In
2005 and 2010 he released
two manga series that he
wrote and illustrated. In a
2013 interview with Marvel,
com during New York Comic-Con , Smith mentioned
that his main focus of this
comic will be on the character-development of Robbie,
and putting readers in "the
passenger seat of Ghost Rider's roaring, flaming supercharged racer." Issue Seven
will be out on Wednesday,
Sept. 17, but new readers can
catch up on thé story with
the first collected volume
available now. For more information, visit Marvel.com.

Volunteer Day—
CSUSM students
giving back to the
community

CSUSM's Black Tie
Fundraiser Set
Where can you have dinner,
dance, buy a car, and support
CSUSM all at the same time? The
answer is CSUSM's Seventh Annual University Ball. The black-tie
dinner-dance and silent auction will
be held at the Sheraton Grande
Toirey Pines in La Jolla on April 9.
Connie L. Anderson of San
Marcos is chair of the event. "The
University Ball has been a bright
light on the social calendar of North
County since 1988, and this year's
ball promises to be the most exciting event of the new year,' said
Anderson. This year's theme is
"Building a Dream." .
The goal of the event is to
raise $30,000 for the University.
Proceeds from the ball go towards
supporting CSUSM projects that
need additional resources such as
scholarships for deserving students,
seed money for emerging programs,
books for the library, and important
community events such as the
American Indian Pow Wow and
the International Festival.
" Supporting C SUSM is
such a worthy cause. The money
raised by the ball provides the
University a margin ofexxcellence
that cannot otherwise be achieved.
Just a few dollars can make a
difference in whether a student
stays in college or is forced to quit.
I am glad to live in a community
where people believe in education, and more importantly, believe in helping young people,"
said Anderson.
Anderson recruited a team
of community leaders as the executive committee to coordinate
the ball. "The committee is already hard at work seeking donations, expanding the program, and
designing decorations. To assist
us in defraying expenses of the
ball, the committee members are
calling on individuals and businesses to provide underwriting,"
said Anderson.
This year, a silent auction will
be added to the evening's events.
The newly formed CSUSM Alumni
Association will be coordinating the
auction for the Ball. Provided by
Hoehn Motors Inc., the premier
auction item will be a 1994 Suzuki
Sidekick.
Individual seats are $150 or
$1,500 for a table of 10. Special
"Star" tables are available for $2,000
for a table of 10.
For information about tickets
and donations, call Jane Lynch at
752-4406.
Every year about 9,000
children and young adults die
from leukemia and other fatal
blood diseases. For many the
only hope for survival is a bone
marrow transplant. Nearly 70%
cannot find a suitable match
within their own families. These
patients need to find unrelated
donors.
The chance that a patient
will find a matching, unrelated
donor in the general population is
between one in 20,000 to one in a
million. Because tissue types are
inherited, and different tissue
types are found in different ethnic groups, the chances of finding an unrelated donor vary according to the patients' ethnic

A waste characterization is part
of the campus recycling efforts and is a
thorough, comprehensive sorting, categorization and weighing of materials
from the disposal and recycling streams.
Even though CSUSM has an aggres-
sive recycling program in place, waste
characterizations have to be done periodically to identify additional items
which can possibly be diverted from
going to the landfill.
A light lunch will be served prior
to the waste characterization. In order to
plan for the lunch, please call Support
Services, extension 4520, by March 4 if
you wish to attend and/or participate.
Everyone is invited to participate.

�CSUSM's Writing
Requirement—
a s ound i nvestment
Spring '94 Career Fair March 2 and 3
Jeff Keehn
Contributing Writer
T | Toward the end of the Fall semes
ter, an article appeared in The
J L Pride in which a student expressed
some dissatisfaction with the CSUSM writing requirement. While students on the fast
track to graduation may view the writing
requirement as an unnecessary hurdle, is this
the case? When we asked two founding
faculty members about the reasoning behind
the CSUSM writing requirement, here is what
they said:
Dr. Larry Cohen, Founding Faculty, Biology: "I wholeheartedly support the writing
requirement at CSUSM. To a large degree,
we seem to think with words. If a concept is
understood, one should be able to describe it
to another person. If one cannot explain
something, perhaps one does not understand
it. The writing requirement at CSUSM fosters improved communication and thinking
skills. However, I have never felt that writing
across the entire curriculum made sense. For
example, large seminars or classes heavily
dependent upon symbolic concepts might
better be exempted."
Dr. Carolyn Mahoney, Director, Math
Program: "As a founding faculty member, I
believe very strongly that we should have a
writing requirement in all subjects. It exposes students to, and gives them familiarity
with the expository and technical writing that
is necessary to do good math. In particular,
writing helps students process their learning
and encourages them to think more clearly
about what they do and do not understand.
All math faculty incorporate writing in either
weekly journals and short papers that reflect
a student's understanding of mathematical
notions or in term papers which explain and/
or extend classroom discussions."
Clearly, sound reasoning guided the establishment of the CSUSM writing requirement. The requirement was not designed to
wreak havoc on our lives or distance us from
our families, but to foster the critical thinking
skills and analytic agility fundamental to intellectual growth. Most of us entering professional life after graduation will be required to
draft reports and resumes f or years to come.
And our ability to communicate effectively
will to a large degree determine our eventual
success.
The next issue will present interviews
with CSUSM alumni who have already seen
their investment in the writing requirement
pay off big in career opportunities and graduate school admissions. These CSUSM alumni
attribute their post-graduate success to improved communication skills honed through
our university's challenging and innovative
writing requirement that has and will continue to place CSUSM graduates a step above
the rest.

the items listed below or monetarily, please
drop your donations at the Office of the
Associate Dean of Students, Craven Hall
5115 or call 752-4935. There will be a small
get-together to give the items to the student

President of the student council next fall.
Michelle, an English major, hopes to
further her studies in public administration.
She anticipates graduating in spring '95.
As an active student representative at
CSUSM since the fall of '93, Michelle came
into the student council with the philosophy
of "serving students currently attending
CSUSM."
Last semester, Michelle served as Cal
State Student Association (CSSA) representative. As this campus' CSSA representative, Michelle attended monthly meetings
held at other CSU campuses throughout the
state to discuss matters of importance to all
CSU students such as campus base fees,
legislation and health issues. The CSSA
also reviewed Board of Trustees' mandates
and their effects on all CSU campuses.
Michelle was responsible for bringing yoga to campus which led to forming the
Recreation Committee this semester. "We're
looking to provide a variety of recreational
activities at reasonable prices and times
convenient for students." The Recreation
Committee is hoping to bring other classes
and activities such as martial arts, self-defense and aerobics, which is scheduled to

to provide the opportunity for CSUSM students to teach these classes.
Michelle enjoys communicating with
students and keeping them informed about
current legislation and issues affecting CSU
students.
In addition to her studies, and participation on the Associated Students Council,
Michelle is actively involved in other campus and community activities. As President
of the Earth Club, Michelle and other members of the club are preparing for the Second
Annual Earth Day event scheduled for April

In addition to Earth Day activities,
the Earth Club works on environmental

students participated by writing essays on
the subject How Books Have Influenced My
Life. Each of the three finalists receives
$200 to be used for this semester's books.
The University Store contribute $100 of the
$600 plus an additional 10 percent discount
to the winners.
Congratulations to this semester's winners:
• Melva Dudley, a Social Science major
with an emphasis on Sociology, from
Oceanside.
• Robin Kaiser, an English/Spanish major planning to teach middle school, from

Applications for the Friends's Fall 1994
Book Scholarship will be available to students on campus after February 15. The
deadline for completed essays will be April
25, and finalists will be notified in May.
The Friends of the Library, a library
volunteer group made up of campus and
community volunteers, is also conducting
an ongoing mini book sale in the library. It
has met with favorable comments from stu-
dents and staff alike.
Coming in March is the semi-annual
book sale during the campus Indian Pow
Wow. If you would like to donate any
books to the sale, please call Cherie Boiling
at 471-7442. The question most often
asked is "Where does the money from the
sale go?" It helps to provide the student
book scholarshs each semester at the
univeristy. Plan to attend the Pow Wow
and our book sale on March 19 from 9 AM
to 6 PM in the faculty/staff parking lot. We
look forward to seeing everyone there!
In addition to library projects, the book
scholarships, and book sales, the Friends
of the Library also sponsor lectures on a
variety of subjects. The Friends recently
sponsored a talk given by Bridget BaileyMeier on medicine in the African-American Community. On March 17,1994, the
Friends will sponsor Dr. Patricia Seleski,
Professor of History who will be speaking
on peace prospects in Northern Ireland.
The third lecture the Friends will sponsor
this spring is Dr. Vasanthi Shenoy, Professor of Sociology, who will speak on education for the women of India on April 26.

Huff Awarded Fulbright
Scholarship
Betty Huff, CSUSM's director of enrollment services was recently awarded a
Fulbright Scholarship to study in Germany.
Huff is one of 25 recipients from universities across the country who will participate
in the Fulbright International Education
Seminar for Administrators.
The four-week seminar, held in April
and May, introduces university administrators to a variety of academic and governmental institutions. It focuses on current
issues in German higher education and
international academic exchange. The program is designed for administrators of international services, academic affairs, student affairs, and admissions. It includes
visits to universities and cities in Bonn,
Berlin, and the new Eastern states of Germany.
Huff has been with CSUSM for 4 years.
Besides admissions, she also is responsible
for internationl student advising and serves
on the University Global Affairs Committee.
"This scholarship is an excellent opportunity to gain greater awareness of other
cultures. As CSUSM continues to pursue
its mission of international focus and global awareness, we will need to develop
more programs that assist students in the
transition to education in other countries.
The Fulbright program was designed to
help administrators in this effort," said
Huff of the scholarship.

Who needs to be vaccinated against Hepatitis B?
Joel Grinolds, MD, MPH
Or for that matter, what is Hepatitis B? It
is an infection of the liver caused by the
Hepatitis B virus (HB V). This virus is hardy
and highly infectious. About 300,000 hew
cases are diagnosed each year. It is 100 times
more infectious than HTV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), the virus that causes AIDS.
Like AIDS, it has no cure but the good news
is that it can be prevented with a vaccine.
Hepatitis B may strike silently and cause
unknown damage to one's liver. Symptoms
of Hepatitis B can be similar to an intestinal
virus and be very mild. Others have more
severe symptoms with nausea, loss of appetite, fatigue, dark urine and possibly yellowing of the skin and eyes. Also, some people
become very ill and can't work or go to school
for weeks or months. Because it is a viral
infection there is no antibiotic to reverse its
course. Between 6 and 10 percent of infected
adults become chronic carriers (possibly a
million Americans). Unfortunately, they face

�Learning Self-Defense
Newest WxMrcise Crane
:
^^imercize^'A
Susan Mendes, LVN
Health Education Assistant
On Thursday evening, February 10, I
attended the self-defense class which was
sponsored by the Public Safety Department
and taught by Officer Mario Sainz.
Since I had never taken a self-defense
class before, I didn't know quite1 what to
expect. The instructions said to wear loose,
comfortable clothing and sooks, as we would
practice without shoes. I had decided to take
the class after reading about local women
who were kidnapped while out shopping,
running errands, and minding their own business. This made me realize that crimes can
happen anywhere, to anyone.
My classmates were all women who,
like myself, wanted to know what to do in a
dangerous situation. Officer Sainz started
out by talking about possible dangers on
campus, such as deserted stairwells and elevators. What to do if attacked in an elevator?
"Push the emergency alarm button!" he advised. "Someone will respond." He also
reminded us that Public Safety now operates
24 hours a day to respond to calls for help, and
that they are able to provide escorts from
campus buildings to the parking areas, which
is especially important at night. Sainz pointed
out that it is a good idea to locate the silver
emergency phones found in the campus buildings before you need one. He explained that
the phones on the blue light poles in the
parking lot connect directly to dispatch and
do not require coins. He said that the officers
are glad to help students who lock keys in
their car or who need a jump-start.
After discussing how to avoid danger,
he began to demonstrate what to do if you
are attacked or threatened. Using movements based on Karate principles, we
learned how to side-step and use the
attacker's momentum to the victim's advantage.
Sainz showed us how to resist a frontal
attack and how to escape if attacked from
behind. He explained that criminals look
for victims, and talked of the importance of
assertiveness.
I was surprised by two things that
evening. First, that you could learn so
much in one class, and second, I was surprised that more students didn't attend.
This was one of a series of classes that will
be offered on campus free of charge for
students or staff members.
It is a wonderful resource, and I would
highly recommend that everyone take at
least one class, especially if you attend
classes at night, shop in the evenings, or
even buy gas or run errands after dark. I t's
easy to go on believing "that it couldn't
happen to me." Let's not wait until a crime
happens on our quiet campus to become
prepared. Upcoming classes will be announced.

�Decision DMakingoving iadefuture asier
Mnto the E
CSUSM's Center for ecision Making m
Karin Foster
Staff Writer
F or t he l ast f our y ears,
CSUSM's Len Jessup, Associate
Professor of Management Information Systems, and Bernie Hinton,
Assistant to the President, have
worked hard to create an environment that features the latest in computerandbusinesstechnology. This
February their efforts paid o ff, and
the Center for Decision Making
opened with its state-of- the-art computer system on-line and running.
The two men began by submitting a grant proposal to Hewlett
Packard that would provide them
with the necessary equipment to
establish a group computer facility
at CSUSM. Hewlett Packard furnished Jessup and Hinton with
$ 150,000 worth of computer equipment that resulted in 30 computers,
a laser printer and computer software. Further work was necessary
to locate physical space f or the
equipment and comply with all the
regulations that accompany aproject
of this size. With the equipment
and space secured, the facility became a reality.
Located on the second floor
of Craven Hall, the Center for Decision Making appears very similar to
corporate board rooms; however,
this room includes the addition of
computers. The computers are recessed into the table providing a
sleek, modern, unobtrusive look.
However, it is the software known
as G roup S upport S ystem, o r
"groupware" that integrates the
computers and makes this center
different from typical conference
rooms. Groupware allows individuals or groups to work together
forming decisions. Viewing the
same information, members can
make comments or suggestions
anonymously to the entire group.
After suggestions and comments
have been entered, the groupware
can easily arrange the data and help
the members form a consensus.
Companies have discovered
this new technology has advantages.
Jessup noted, "One of the reasons
this has become so popular is being able to do things anonymously.
Businesses have found they get a
lot more candid free-flowing exchange of ideas and opinions when
they use this software, as opposed
to the traditional face-to-face meeting environment."
While this software facilitates group meetings at CSUSM,
it also expands o ther o ptions.
Members meeting at CSUSM can
include groups in other geographical locations. The software links
groups from several different businesses or universities, and allow
them to form collaborative decisions. Jessup also explained that
meetings do not need to occur at
the same time but could occur over
the course of several weeks. A
meeting could be initiated, and
members could respond at their
convenience. Decisions could be
made at a later date based on the
received input.
A lthough the g roupware
helps groups hold effective meetings, there is the potential to depend too heavily on technology.
Business conferences could become too impersonal. Jessup explained that meeting facilitators
play an important role in this type
of center. Facilitators ensure that
groups alternate between software
and f ace-to-face interaction to
achieve effective results. Besides
understanding group dynamics, the
facilitator must know how to use
the group support system software.
A great deal of the success of this
computer center at CSUSM will
depend on the skills of the meeting
facilitator.
While the center at CSUSM
can help groups meet effectively,
it can also provide other functions.
Jessup explained that the Center
can be used for research. Experiments and studies will occur to
observe how groups and individuals behave when they use this type
Bernie Hinton and Len J essup, the masterminds behind the Center for Decision Making
of technology. The findings can then
be used to develop software, and
help companies implement this type
of facility and software into their
own businesses. The Center will
also be used as a teaching tool. Jessup
stated, "We plan to really integrate
this within our business courses and
within other courses at the campus."
The creation of this center has
already been a learning experience
f or s tudents at C SUSM. T he
groupware technology has already
been running in the student computer labs, and Jessup has instructed
courses in operating this software.
During these classes, students have
developed marketing projects for
this type of center, trained as meeting facilitators for running group
sessions, and helped do coding and
programming using this innovative
software.
Jessup noted that the students
have contributed substantially to the
Center's development. Design of
the C enter's tables and chairs has
included the students' involvement.
The quality of the Center will
encourage businesses to use this
facility, thereby providing additional revenue for the university.
While businesses will be able to
reap benefits from holding effective meetings, students will also
have the ability to learn and experience the latest technology of the
business world.

Profile of a Volunteer
Mercedes. Aguilar
Contributing Writer
A volunteer is someone who enters a
service out of his/her free will. On November
16, 1967, Bertha Walker became an important volunteer when she joined the United
States Marine Corps. Impressed by the confidence of the Marine officers at the enlisting
office, Bertha decided to join the Marine
Corps, and at the age of 18, she left her
hometown of Pittsview, Alabama to serve in
Okinawa, Japan, and Hawaii.
The initiative which Bertha demonstrated
as an 18-year-old further developed in the
military as her leadership roles provided her
with various responsibilities. Working as the
Combined Federal Campaign Coordinator
for her unit, she coordinated the collection of
charitable contributions, served as a liaison
between a Marine and the base, and worked
with the Financial O ffice to resolve pay problems.
While fulfilling her military duties, Bertha continued to pursue her educational goals.
Majoring in history and minoring in religion,
she received her Associates of General Studies Degree from Chaminade University in
Honolulu, Hawaii.
After 23 years of active duty, Bertha
retired as a First Sergeant. She sought to
complete her education at California State
University, San Marcos where she also wanted
to get involved in extracurricular activities.
Since spring 1992, Bertha has been a
member of the Pan-African Student Alliance,
and she has been a member and past director
of the History Club. Last spring, Bertha
assisted in Student Affirmative Action's Student Leadership Conference. Then, in the fall
semester, she served as the stage manager for
the African-American students and Pan-Af-
rican Student Alliance's production of the
play, "For Colored Girls Who have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is
Enuf."
Bertha Walker's initiative and leadership continue to guide her actions within
her community. "I feel that the AfricanAmerican student should be more visible
on campus, and I feel that CSUSM should
be visible in the community."
"My participation in Volunteer Day is
my way of practicing what I preach." As
the Logistics Chairperson f or Volunteer
Day on February 26, Bertha has been
extremely visible throughout the preparatory stages of the event recruiting other
volunteers and overseeing security, setting up, parking, registration, greeters/
hosts, and tours. As she tries to make sure
the participating youth and volunteers experience a smooth day at CSUSM, Bertha
Walker will continue to maintain high
visibility.

Illegal Immigration is not the Problem
By Thomas Lee Huntington
Staff Writer
Last semester, the Political Science
Association sponsored a NAFTA debate. It
was a well-organized, i nformative'affair,
bringing together a labor representative, an
economist, an environmentalist and a representative from the San Diego Chamber of
Commerce to discuss the virutes or flaws of
the hotly debated trade agreement. The participants all gave prepared statements and the
floor was then opened up for questions from
the audience. A man sitting next to me was
the first to shoot up his hand, and it was
immediately clear from his body language
that he felt very strongly about, well, something. "How can we enter into a trade agreement," he began, his voice shaking, "with a
country that doesn't respect the sovereignty
of our border!" His voice rose dramatically at
the last statement. He had come armed with
statistics, pseudo-facts, and anger to spare;
his tirade was just getting started. The moderator and the other presenters attempted to
steer the debate back towards real trade issues, but this spectator's single-minded determination was unsinkable. Every question
became an indictment of California's immigration policy, and passion quickly displaced
logic. The debate ended on a precarious note
with tempers still flaring.
NAFTA is now history, but the fear and
ignorance surrounding the immigration debate in this state has grown. Legislators and
"concerned" citizens like the gentleman that
graced our campus that fine day continue to
propagate the principle that illegal immigration from Mexico is somehow at the root of
all our social, cultural and economic problems. We need to beef up the police presence
at the border, cut off all government aid to
illegal immigrants, even build a wall if necessary. Anything and everything, some immigration "experts" would have us believe, must
be done to stop the tidal wave of thieves and
freeloaders currently assaulting the shores of
our great country.
The problems with this kind of thinking are too numerous to mention here. Suffice it to say the immigration debate has been
blown out of proportion by a group of selfrighteous policital activiists who are motivated by fear and racism, that this is just
another example of politicians who are afraid
to address real, substantive issues for fear of
offending aportion of the voting public jumping on the immigration bandwagon.
Illegal immigration is not threatening
the fabric of our society. This is a country that
was made great by the hard work and dedication of immigrants from all over the world
who were attempting to escape the same
kinds of conditions that the Mexicans who
cross our border are escaping. Western European immigrants, anyway, have entered into
the American folklore as tireless hard workers who helped shape the American dream.
Chinese, Russian, Japanese, Korean and
Mexican immigrants have always suffered
the slings and arrows of a society that saw
them as lazy and worthless. The current
immigration furor is no exception. Despite
the fact that the vast majority of illegal immigrants that come to this country are tireless,
dedicated workers who actually contribute a
great deal to our ailing economy, we are
encouraged to see them as the problem. They
are potential scapegoats for everything, and
certain legislators would have us believe that
all our problems could be solved by simply
keeping them out.
On the contrary, we could learn a thing
or two by observing and emulating these
hard-working, s elf-sufficient, industrious
people that embody the ideals of rugged
individualism and self-reliance that Americans once held dear. The problems in California (and there are many) are due to Californians and can be solved only by Californians. Mexico is a convenient scapegoat,
but, alas, a false one.
"Good fences make good neighbors," a
well-meaning farmer repeats in RobertFrost's
poem The Mending Wall. Like the farmer,
we have taken that phrase to heart despite its
obvious irrelevance. By strengthening the
fence, we believe we can somehow make our
own crops grow faster and stronger.

�Reflections on Black History Month
Karin Foster
Staff Writer
All February CSUSM has been honoring
the achievements of A frican-Americans
through the observance of Black History
Month. The variety of events that have
occurred have featured informative lectures,
films, and various types of musical formats.
Black History Month initially began in
the early 1900's under its founder, Carter G.
Woodson. Woodson, an African-American
historian, first initiated Negro History Week,
which became Negro History Month, and is
now recognized as Black History Month.
Dr. Thompson, a political science professor
explained that Woodson's purpose was to
elevate the status and self-esteem of AfricanAmericans. He stated that Black History
Month was also "toeducate and expose dominant groups, particularly whites, to the rich
history, rich culture of African-Americans."
During that period of history, Africn Americans were "subordinated in terms of culture,
status, economy and equality." White culture rationalized their oppression of black
Americans by claming the inferiority of their
race. The revelation of African-Americans'
rich culture and heritage would dispute this
myth and could establish the legitimacy of
African-American equality.
Thompson explained that the activities
scheduled for Black History Month complement the mission statement of the university.
CSUSM's mission statement promotes an
appreciation for, and study of, diversity in
American society. The events were meant to
provide an understanding and appreciation
for African-American culture.
Students interviewed in Dr. Jill Watts'
History 335 class, which studies AfricanAmerican history, discussed their opinions
about the events offered on campus. One
student offered, "The events we have here on
campus and in the community help to dispel
stereotypes." Another student explained that
these events "bring together and disband
some barriers between cultures when we
have Black History Month or other cultural
awareness months."
However, not all of the students agreed
that the events really promoted understanding between cultures. One student felt that
many people regarded Black History Month
activities only as entertainment events. The
student explained that often the majority of
the audience attending black performances
are white. She said, " They've always come
out to see us perform. That h asn't changed
with Black History Month or any other kind
of month. The problem is, do they really get
something out of it? Are we really giving
them what they need to be more educated."
While the students questioned whether
Black History Month events should focus
more on education rather than entertainment,
one student explained that personal perspective on these events will probably cause differences of opinion. She explained, " It's a
little b it of everything encompassed—education, entertainment. It means something different to everybody. Certainly to me being
black is going to be somewhat deeper f or me,
more of a pride month."
David McKenzie, president of the PanAfrican Student Alliance, commented that the
goals of his c lub's involvement with Black
History Month have been primarily focused
on education. Working with other associations on campus, this club has offered a series
of lectures and films that have included professional staff to handle discussions and questions that arise following the lecture or film.
McKenzie stressed the importance of education in the activities that promote Black
History Month. "Education helps people understand that there is still a long way to go.
There is still basically inequality between
African-Americans and the rest of the dominant culture." McKenzie concluded that,
"Black History Month was started because
there was a failure of our education system to
have the history of Black Americans or people
of color, in traditional U.S. histoiy books. I
would like to see us get to a point where we
d on'tneedtodo this. Where it (black history)
is included in the history with the general
population and t here's no need to pick one
month out of the year to say 'O.K. this is what
w e've done in h istory'."

The Pan African Student Alliance is a
student organization founded last year. The
club was started by students from Africa, the
United States and Caribbean nations.* The
Pan African Student Alliance also incorporates n on-African-American m embers.
Anyone who has an interest in AfricanAmerican history or progress is welcome to
join the club.
Club members keep abreast about issues
that concern African-Americans at the local, national and international level. Club
president, David McKenzie, also explained
that since San Diego's North County lacks
areas of concentration of African-Americans, the club serves a social function that
allows people to get together.
Club members also participate in the
community by mentoring students of color
in junior high school, and high school to
help these students prepare for the transition
to college. The Alliance has also been very
active this month with the events that have
occurred in honor of Black History Month.

�Generation X gets a
Bite of Reality
Thomas Lee Huntington
Staff Writer
Reality Bites is a smart, funny, insightful comedy about a
group of friends who have no idea what to do with their lives after
graduating from college. To label the film, as many critics have, a
"Generation X " movie is to marginalize it, to insinuate that the
filmmakers were only attempting to j ump on the media bandwagon
by throwing in as much flannel, cappucino and slacker angst as
possible. Indeed, all these elements are present in Reality Bites, but
they are present because the movie is an honest account of life in the
9 0's, not because they are demographically pleasing to any particular focus group. The film transcends trend to speak to larger issues
about alienation and the search for love in a meaningless world
(issues that are surely not specific to twentynothings) and, judged by
that criteria, Reality Bites manages to fall somewhere in between the
comic and creative brilliance of The Graduate and the crass, cliched
commercialism of St. Elmo's Fire.
Far and away the f ilm's best feature is the funny, literate
script by 23-year old Helen Childress. The dialogue is wellstructured, witty and true; full of throwaway references to everything
from Hamlet to Three's Company but not the least bit condescending
towards the audience. Childress captures the way that people talk to
each other when they're not sure what they really mean, cloaking
insecurity in sarcasm and hip bravado. The characters are fullbodied, complex and dimensional; they consistently surprise the
audience and each other.
Credit is also due the stellar cast, particularly Ethan Hawke
and Janeane Garofalo. Hawke plays the resident cynic Troy, an out
of work, out of energy philosophy major who threatens to turn any
environment he enters into a "den of slack." Hawke is marvelously
appealing; he manages to exude viciousness, vulnerability, intelligence and guilt without ever seeming artificial. Ditto Garofalo, who
brings great comic energy and skill to her role. Winona Ryder is
charming in the read role as a highly creative, intelligent college
valedictorian who c an't get hired at Wienerschnitzel. There is an an
obvious mutual attraction between Ryder and Hawke, and their
avoidance and verbal sparring seem very realistic. These actors are
a perfect match for the smart script, and in the early scenes when they
are allowed to explore their characters without the strain of artificially imposed situations, the film is at its best.
As the film progresses, though, a romantic triangle develops
between Ryder, Hawke, and a well-meaning yuppie played by Ben
Stiller (who also directs). Stiller is a highly skilled comical actor, and
he manages to do extremely well with an endearingly inarticulate
character that could easily have been turned into a stereotype. But
the last 20 minutes of the film buy into conventional romantic movie
sentiment, and in so doing loses the character-driven charm of the
m ovie's first half.
Reality Bites is at its best when it allows itself to be about
nothing. It is a rare delight to see intelligent, imperfect humans
struggling with the mysteries of life and each other. This film speaks
to the concerns of its audience without trivializing them, and for that
it should be treasured.

Presidential Youth Service Awards
Know of any young people volunteering
in the community? There are thousands of
youths who donate their time and e ffort to
make North County abetterplaceandCSUSM
is seeking nominations for the President's
Youth Service Awards to recognize their
efforts.
The President's Youth Service Awards
were created by the White House O ffice of
National Service and the Corporation of National and Community Service. Because of
CSUSM's commitment to community service, the university was authorized to assist in
identifying those young people whose volunteer efforts are a model for all. Each year
CSUSM honors young people, ages 5-22,
with the President's Awards or the National
Award to recognize meaningful service to the
community.
To allow young people with different
skill levels to compete fairly, the awards are
presented in four age categories, 5 -8 years, 9 13 years, 14-17 years, and 18-22 years.
The awards are given f or individual
achievement, however, individuals who per-
form community service as part of a group are
eligible. The awards are designed to recognize voluntary, non-paid, community service
and to r ecognize h ands-on s ervice; all
fundraising activities are excluded from consideration. This year, the awards will recognize youths who show leadership in projects
that focus on helping others to learn.
We also understand that community service extends past the age of 22. Therefore, we
are including CSUSM students in this recognition.
Criteria are: exemplary achievement, ongoing involvement, community need, and
building a service ethic. To be eligible,
nominees must be North County residents,
but they need not be U.S. citizens.
Nominations are being accepted through
Feb. 28. Your participation can help us to
applaud the community work of our students.
All nominees will be honored in arecognitiori
ceremony at the university to be held Apr. 19,

Susan, sitting by the copier making copies.
Not exactly. Susan Brown is too busy overseeing a binding project or making sure direct

Brown runs the Duplication Services
Department at CSUSM. You may have seen
her when y ou've stopped by Science Hall 209
to feed nickels into the self-serve copier when
the copier in the Libraiy was tied up and you
wanted to save five cents per page.
The Duplication Services Department is a
full-service operation designed to meet the
needs of CSUSM faculty and staff (and when
there is time, students).
Students sometimes lose their patience at
the self-serve copier while listening to the
Duplications Services copiers complete 500page documents while they are still manually
lifting the lid in between each of their 25
pages of class notes.
Susan Brown feels the students' pain.
Her staff is instructed to help students whenever time permits. They will help create
transparencies for class presentations and
fasten business presentations in a thermal
tape or spiral binding.
One of the main reasons Duplication Services c an't meet all students' needs is time,
Brown says. Students generally need their
copies right away. The Duplication Department has a 48-hour turn-around policy designed to account f or equipment failure and
staffing.
Despite the 48 hour policy, if you need a
transparency, the department can generally
finish it while you wait. Next time y ou're in
the neighborhood have the time, stop by and
say hello to Susan and her hard-working

Since I have to leave to catch the bus, I
wished him the best and told him to have a
good day. It seemed like an old friend to him,
a phrase he once knew well, but hadn't heard
in a very long time. I'll never forget the look
on his face as he said "Yeah, you toot" and
walked through the park with his bag of
goodies once reserved for those you paid the
entry fee.
As I headed back toward the finish line
and the bus stop, I passed another man standing at the front of the park with his bag of cans
in his hand and a wistful, longing look in his
eyes. He didn't say anything to anyone, and
no one said anything to him. I walked past
him about 50 feet, but couldn't get the look on
his face out of my mind. I turned to go back,
but as I watched him stare blankly into the
crowd, I realized I had nothing left to give
him. There was nothing more I could do
today. I turned, sick with the knowledge that
I had been there for an hour and I was the only
one who seemed to notice or care about these
men. If there was nothing more I could do
today, it seemed more than likely that nothing
else would be done. I wiped my tears from
my eyes as I boarded the bus for my ride back
to the Horton Plaza parking garage and my
sheltered middle class life. I was lucky, I was
going home, where I didn' t have to remember
the people I had seen. But I'll always remember that some people didn't go home that
day—they had no home to go to.

M an arrested in connection with
d isappearance of local teenage girl
BY BEN ROFFEE
News Editor
The search for Chelsea
King, a local high school
girl that disappeared last
week, will resume this week
despite treatment of the case
by local law enforcement as a
homicide. King, a 17 year-old
Poway resident, disappeared
while on a run at Rancho
Bernardo Park near Lake Hodges
Thursday evening. Authorities
have already identified a
suspect in connection with
King's
disappearance.
According to Bill Gore of the
San Diego County Sheriffs
Department, officers apprhended
John Albert Gardner III Sunday
afternoon outside of Hernandez
Hide-A-Way, a restaurant in the
small Lake Hodges community
known as Del Dios. Gardner,
a 30 year-old registered sex
offender, now faces charges of
first-degree murder and rape by
force.
At a press conference last
evening, Sheriff Gore said,
"evidence was discovered to
link Gardner to Ms. King in
such a manner as to warrant his
arrest." Though the Sheriffs
department would not elaborate,
physical evidence linking
Gardener to the crime has been
found in the area where Chelsea
King disappeared.
Chelsea's mother, Kelly King,
told reporters on Monday that
investigators identified Gardner's

Gardner's previous criminal
history includes a guilty plea
to multiple counts of forcible
lewd acts with a child and false
imprisonment, landing him
a six year prison sentence in
May 2000. Sheriff Gore said
Gardner has been uncooperative

insist they may still be able
to implicate Gardner without
locating the victim. Paul
Levikow from the San Diego
County District Attorney's office
said, "There are murder cases
that get tried without a body.
There is one going on now."
Parents Brent and Kelly King
insist they will continue to search
fortheir daughter, aided by friends
and volunteers from around the
community. Those involved in
the search have relied heavily
on social networking sites like
Image courtesy ofthe King Family
Facebook and Twitter to spread
up to date information. Those
interested in volunteering can go
to Chelsea King Search Center
located at 11858 Bernardo Plaza
Court. More information on
search efforts can also be found
online at http://www.findchelsea.
com/.
Authorities have requested
those with any information
relating to the disappearance
of Chelsea King to contact the
Sheriffs Department at (858)

CSUSM hosts first ever San Marcos Round Up Thrive food stamp program
BY JAMES ROCHE
Pride Staff Writer
Cai State San Marcos is hosting: the inaugural San Marcos
Round Up, on March 13 where
students will have the opportunity to take ¡part in a 5km race
orpin l lkmfrace, according to
a press rej/ase by the office of
communications.
The Carlsbad-based company
In Motion Inc. is organizing the
event, which is due to start on
the Mangrum Track on campus
at 8am.
Hugo Lecomte is director of
Campus Recreation on campus,
which is helping co-host the
event. Lecomte said, "The running event is going to be one of
the best ones because we have
a very strong company helping us, a company with a lot
of experience. It's a very easy
event—if you don't feel like
running you can walk it. It's a
cheap price for this event, so it
might be yourfirstopportunity
as a student to participate to a
running event."

Mo'Nique, who was predicted

tive roles because they have each
won the award previously. It
will come down to if the Academy wants to award Gabourey
Sidibe, for her breakout role in
"Precious," Carey Mulligan, for a
well-rounded performance in the
coming-of age story "An Education," or Sandra Bullock, for
her years of work in Hollywood
leading up to her performance in
"The Blind Side."
But the big winner is going
to be "The Hurt Locker." This
summer indie film passed more
people by, but it is cleaning up
at other award ceremonies. Not
only will it win for its screenplay,
editing, cinematography, and
sound, but 1 guarantee it will win
Best Picture and Director. I doubt
the other likelyfilm,James Cameron's "Avatar," will top Kathryn Bigelow's story of the bomb
squad in Iraq. Despite the predictability of the awards, I hope
it will be a fun show to celebrate
my favorite medium.

Students pay $15 for the five
km race and $25 km for the
11km double peak challenge if
they register before March 10.
The price of each race will rise
by $10 after March 10, and regisfration will be open from 6.30am
until the races start, according
to w ww.inmotionevents com/
events/San Marcos Fitness
San Diego last of America's 24

food stamps given to eligible
families.
The program was announced
on Feb. 22 with supervisor Ron
Roberts, CSUSM President
Karen Haynes, and SDSU Pres-
\

Roundup.htm. Students, who
wish to register, find out more
information or ask questions
should go to this website.
The two races differ in both
their length and where they are
run. "The 5k, which is I think a
3.1 mile course, goes around the
campus. It's mostly on campus
and circles all around the campus
and the start and finish will be
on the track. It's an amazing
event, 5k is a great distance; you
can either walk, jog or run.
"The other event is the Ilk.
This one is more challenging. It
will go to the top of the mountain that you see outside the university and there is a park called
double peak. It's mostly on trails
and it's a very big challenge
because there is a lot of elevation
gain so it's a big race for heart
rate," said Lecomte.
Both the races are due to start
at 8 AM. However, the students
running in the 11km race will be
released in a series of waves and
not all at once. The event also
allows faculty, staff, and the outside community to take part.
There is also reason for those
who do not which to compete
to come to the event. "Everybody can sign up to be a volunteer, also on the website, so
if they don't want to register to
race or to run or to walk, they
can always volunteer for this
event," said Lecomte.
There will also be a festival at the event, which involves
venders, food and music by The
North County Cowboys.

Lighting up at C SUSM
Hazards of social smoking
Every year, hundreds of thousands of deaths are due to smoking related illnesses. Here at California State University of San
Marcos, students who smoke take
up a significant portion of the student population.
In 2005, based on a new state
law, from Title 8 California Code
of Regulations section 5148, has
affected how CSUSM views oncampus smoking. On the CSUSM
campus, there are nine designated
smoking areas for students, faculty, and staff to use. This law
means that at CSUSM smokers can
only smoke in designated areas.
Students can experience many
harmful affects from smoking or
from exposure to second-hand
smqke. Cathy Nguyen, CSUSM's
health educator, said, "There
are many risks associated with
cigarette smoking. According
to The Health Consequences of
Smoking: A Report of the Surgeon General, smoking causes
approximately: 90% of all lung
cancer deaths in men, 80% of all
lung cancer deaths in women,
and 90% of deaths from chronic
obstructive lung disease.
"The adverse health effects
from cigarettes smoking accounts
for an estimate of nearly one
of every five deaths or 443,000
deaths in year in the US. Besides
lung cancer and an increase in
coronary heart disease," Nguyen
said, "smoking can cause respiratory diseases such as emphysema,
bronchitis, and chronic airway
obstruction."
All of these health risks associated with smoking could affect
any student here at CSUSM,
whether lighting up or from exposure to second-hand smoke.
Another factor as to why students light up deals students who
socially smoke with peers. Nguyen
also provided information about
CSUSM and the students that are
lighting up. She said, "According
to the National College Health
Association results from a survey
that was administered to CSUSM
students in the Spring of 2009,
64% of our student population
does not smoke and has never
smoked a cigarette. Of the 36%
of students that have used cigarettes, only 15% of that group has
smoked a cigarette within the last
30 days."
This data shows that over half
the student population is not lighting up. According to data only, the
social aspect of smoking does not
necessarily affect CSUSM students.
With less than half of the student population smoking at
CSUSM, it is important to understand how some of student body
sees smoking on campus.
Chris Rahn, CSUSM Student,
said, "The designated smoke areas
on campus aren't strategically
placed. Every day I walk by smok-
ers to and from my classes and
car. As a student here at CSUSM
I wish I did not have to be around
smoking on such a regular basis."
Another student, Tiffany
Walker, had a different opinion. Walker said, "Smoking on
campus doesn't bother me. As
long as students are smoking outside, they can do as they please. If
I really had a problem with smok-

pretty sure [teachers] aren't

they're not supposed to be giving

I understand that the teachers

have to do research and maintain

Blaring tunes, CSUSM college radio hits airwaves
BY SANDRA CHALMERS
Editor-in-Chief
Roaring into our twenties,
CSUSM has upgraded into the
twenty f irst century and introduced its first radio station.
Taking a closer look at
CSUSM's first radio station
and the students inside the
studio and on the airwaves,
Thi Pride got the privilege of
having a Q&A with the maker
behind CSUSM College Radio.
V=The Pride
RV= Rosario Vizcaino,
President of CSUSM College
Radio.
P: whose idèa was it to start a
college radiò station?
RV: "I started CSUSM College Radio in the fall of 2008
with the help of my classmate
Ryan Mcelroy. It initially
started as an idea for a class
project, which unfortunately
was dropped by our professor
and a few classmates because
it wouldn't meet the requirements for the assigned project
at that time."
i*It wasn't over for me
just yet I knew there was no on my server and immediately
CSUSM radio station and setup a
media
that we would be the first students to come up with it."
P: How did the project evolve
and get developed?
RV: I recruited my classmate Ryan Mcelroy, who is one
of the founders and the current treasurer of CSUSM College Radio. We immediately
went forward with the process of forming a club, which
was finalized at the end of
November in 2008.
With the minimal
support we initially had,
I had then
decided
that col1ege
r adio
w ould
happen no
matter what.
P: How did
you start a radio station from
scratch?
RV: "I acquired the domain
name and created a web page
for the radio station. I hosted it
s treaming service. With
the
help of Ryan, I made a simple
design that would be easy to
use and yet it would be robust.
We tested it and loved it."
"With no expectations of the
outcome, we then went over to
Student Life and Leadership on
campus and made a live demo
which generated an immediate
positive chain reaction. We had
created the first CSUSM college radio, which by the way it
has been granted full status as
an organized club on campus
as of February of 2010."
"Yes we are new and we
plan to be here for a long
time!"
P: What is your
m ission
statement?
RV:
"By the
s tudents
for the
students!"
P: What
type of radio
s t a - tion would you
consider yourself?
RV: "CSUSM College Radio
was founded with a purpose in
mind and that is to encourage
and promote cultural diversity
on campus. So send us your
request and if you feel you have
the courage to talk on the radio
email us collegeradio@csusm.
info."
P: How can students listen in
and interact with college radio?
RV: "Please go to www.
csusm.info and send us your
request through our contact
page. You can chat with us or
simply call us at (760) 6704131."
P: What does college radio
strive for in the future? What
will become of college radio?
RV: "College Radio is here
to stay."
P: What are unique projects
will our college radio host?
RV: "We will cover news,
sports, current events and your
favorite music."
CSUSM College Radio primarily runs through online
streaming, their interactive
website offers video shows of
the most recent student organization fair and they are eager
to begin offering footage and
live radio casting from sporting events.
Baseball team hits homerun season for C SUSM
BY KATRINA KISTLER
Pride Staff Writer.
Here at CSUSM, the baseball
team is up to bat and gives our
small athletic department a big
name.
The CSUSM baseball team
has started out their season
with eight wins,fivelosses, and
one tie. This season has proved
to be difficult, but the cougars
have stood strong.
"There have been a lot of injuries this season, but the players
and team have exceeded my
expectations while dealing with
a tough schedule," said baseball
coach Dennis Pugh.
The CSUSM baseball team
rested these past two weeks and
now is looking forward to an
away game against Chapman
University on March 5 at 2:00
PM. The following game will
be March 6 playing Chapman
again with home field advantage at 2:00 PM. located at
Escondido High School.
"A lot of people don't know
about CSUSM's baseball team.
We love our fans, but we would
love it if even more CSUSM
students and fans could make
it to pur games," said Eric Juliennif a current Senior.
With the new Softball field
built for the 2010 season, athletics on campus have gained support from stúdents/staff/fácülty.
Now, the baseball team awaits
their turn for a home field here
on campus. Even with their
home fields spread out around
San Diego at Escondido High
School, Poway High School,
and Point Loma, the team's
season thus far has shown a
great amount of success and
dedication.
"I think our team should do
pretty well this season though.
Hopefully, we can make it to
playoffs and win," continued
Julienne.
On March 9, the cougars will
be playing a double header
facing Illinois Tech at 11:00
AM and at 6:00 PM at Escondido High School. The next two
days the Cougars play Illinois
Tech again on March 10 at 6:00
PM and on March 11 at 6:00
PM located at Escondido High
School. Cougars then play Concordia at Poway High School at
6:00 PM on March 16. This will
be a tough game for the Cougars, but hope to pull out a win
against Concordia. The cougars
finish up that busy two weeks
playing Vanguard on March
spencer Pardon is on the left and Eric Julieene is on the right.
16 at 6:00 PM at Poway High
School. With these next two
busy and tough weeks, CSUSM
cougars are looking to come out
with some wins.
The players this season have
high expectations for suc-

cess this year. Junior, Spencer
Pardon said, "In the season so
far, we have been doing pretty
well. We had a tough game
against Cal Baptist, but are
looking forward to a strong rest
of the season."

cial aspect to this type of film
is can it create the tension and
the suspense? The crazies definitely delivers on this account,
there are numerous scenes constructed purely on tension that
will keep you glued to the edge
of your seat. The slow build up
of the music and the different
use of camera angles create the
tension needed to keep the audience focused for the' heart in

If you are the kind of person
that likes movies that make you
'jump out of your seat' then this
one is for you, countless scenes
can make the viewer leave their
chair. So if you know your partner is a bit 'jumpy' then take
them to see this, they'll be holding on to you for support all the
way through. However, for me
some of the scenes became a
little predictable, as it was clear
towards the end that the 'jump
out of your chair' moment was
coming, and as a result I wasn't
surprised when it did.

�Autism theory presented
By Donna Gonzales
Staff Writer
The movie Rainman
brought
to our attention one of life's mysteries- autism. W hy can some
people memorize a whole telephone book, yet not relate socially in even the most basic
terms. Professor Alex Durig of
CSUSM recently published a
book that sheds light on these
behaviors.
Dung's book, Autism and the
Crisis of Meaning, is the first
comprehensive theory describing
five core behaviors that make up
autism. His book possesses a view
that does not rob autistic individuals of their humanity, like
many theories do.
Said Durig, "Autistics have
been dehumanized, when in fact
they merely have a different form
of perception. Autism is not a
character flaw, rather it reflects
an individual's ability to process social information."
According to Durig, human
actions have a balaiic ratio of
deductive,' computerlike thinking land inductive social thinking. In the autistic, the scales
are tipped! with a high amount
of deductive thinking, and a low
amount of inductive thinking
causing them to be socially awkward j though they may be
highly intelligent.
The book provides insight in
to the everyday behavior of
autistics as well as providing
individual accounts
Durig will be at CSUSM's
first book signing March 21,
from 11:30 a.m.-l:30p.m. in the
book store courtyard. Call 7504010 for more information.

�TTERS TO THE EDITOR
Stop bagging
on teachers
Dear Editor,
(Mary Szerpakiewicz)
Insulted many people unfairly in (her) letter to The
Pride. Students should not
be described as a "top
notch competitive product/' They are bright, intelligent people. Very few
students graduate from
public schools illiterate and
unprepared for college or
the real world.
Teachers in the public
school system have not
been "giving a poor performance" -which teachers
are you referring to? The
teachers we know have
been dedicated, hardworking instructors. They've
implemented new programs, spent hours after
school in preparation and
inspired understanding
and curiosity in their students.
The teachers did not
"threaten to harm the children.^ Their strike was to
improve the quality of education the children would
receive. If a few students
are graduating fro public
schools illiterate, you
should rethinkyour blame.
Very rarely is it because of
the teacher. Lee Iacocca
says it best:
"In complete rational society, the best of us would
aspire to be teachers and
the rest of us would have
to settle for something less,
because passing civilization along from one generation to the next ought
to be the highest honor
and the highest responsibility anyone could have."

Due to the enthusiasm created by

one month was too confining for a national
recognition of women. Faculty also plan
for a month long series of events in conjunction with the California Center for the
Arts, Escondido. The steering committee
of the Women's Studies Program has decided to offer ongoing events in the Fall
semester because of the positive feedback
on this months events.

�Bonham presents fresh, honest approach
By Carrie Tyler
Staff Writer
Newcomer singer/songwriter
Tracy Bonham, originally a classical violinistfrom Eugene, Ore. and
later a resident of Boston, Mass.,
offers personally provocative, honest songs with a punch that reveals
the rawness of her style.
Her performances have been so
powerful that they have drawn attention from Boston's club audiences to those in the record industry. With her debut album "The
Liverpool Sessions," a combination of pop and punk music, she
scored a hot hit single in "Dandelion."This accomplishment earned
her the Boston Music Award for
Best Rock Single and Best Local
Female vocalistin the BostonPhoenix/WFNX best music poll.
Her new pop/punk compact
disk, 'The Burdens of Being Upright,w tells a biographical tale
about a girl getting even with the
ones who make her angry. Her
style ranges from Liz Phair-style
music to hard-hitting rock.
In "Navy Bean" and "The One"
she gets back at her ex-boss.
